Authors. Both volumes are . .embellished with plates of average merit ; and sets of tables are annexed which purport setting forth at one view the relative numbers of the different denominations of religious sects in the United States. We should have been glad, for the sake of the work itself, that such tables had not been appended to it ; as by comparing them with official documents in our possession, we find them unworthy of the slightest credit. We have no doubt, but that Dr. Matheson, by whom the Statistical Tables were arranged, was led into this error, by adopting the returns made to him by the Pastors of the several Churches which he visited, instead of consulting the archives of the States. MEMOIRS OF SIR THOMAS PICTON. 2 Vols. Bentley, London. 1835. The present volumes are derived—a thing by no means of frequent occurrence among modern biogra phers—from the most authentic resources ; by far the majority of the documents having been expressly fur nished for the occasion by the surviving members of Sir Thomas Picton's family ; and some few by the communication of those Mit) accompanied the gallant General through the most important portion of his military career, who were the eye-witnesses of his un daunted courage, and were every way qualified to attest his merits as a skilful and experienced commander. General Picton was a man who had the misfortune in early life to have his name tarnished by an accusation, which was publicly brought against him, of tyrannical proceedings in the island of Trinidad ; and though he was afterwards proved to have been wholly innocent, yet he seems to have never recovered from the effects of the charge thus hastily brought against him. It is to this—for we see no other cause—that we must at tribute the very penurious way in which his unques tionably great services in the Peninsula were rewarded ; while others, his inferiors in skill and experience, were rewarded with Peerages. The highest recompence he ever received was the Grand Cross of the Bath. The present volumes place the public and private character of Picton in a very favourable light before the reader ; and show him, as he really was, the cool and skilful officer, humane, though a rigid disciplinarian, and, like Marshal Ney, the " bravest of the brave." 'We select a few amusing extracts, culled at random, from Mr. Robinson's Memoir of 'this accomplished soldier : ANDRIEW BIRD, D.D., AND JAMIS MATHESON, D.D. In 2 Vols. London, Jackson and Walford, 1835.

After considerable trouble, the t difficulties were surmounted ; and at last it was ar led that a deputation consisting of certain chosen past ors in England should pay a visit to the A 4 r aerican c h urc h es , w ith a view to ascertain their h i4e , i Plitte, their numbers, their zeal, and the pro- Pie fruit o f m i ss i onar y labours among them.

Upon the whole ueets greatly pleased sv 11i the work, which we " After General Picton had made every disposition for the reoeption of the enemy, and visited the particular posts occupied by his division,—having been awake the whole night,—a short time before the day broke, he wrapped him self in his cloak, put on a coloured nightcap (his usual custom), and, after giving orders to some of his staff, that he might be called upon the least alarm, he stretched him self on the ground, to snatch a short repose. Brief, how ever, were his slumbers ;—the sound of musketry on the left suddenly aroused him, when, throwing off his cloak, and putting on his hat, he sprung into his saddle, and was the next moment at the head of his troops, defending the pass of Saint Antonio. From thence, when this point was secured, he gallopped to the spot where the enemy had obtained a partial success. Here his presence retrieved the lost ground ; he rallied the retreating troops, and urged them again to the attack. Major Smith placed himself at their head, and fell, leading the attack. Picton, at the same time, placed himself at the head of a Portuguese battalion ; the eyes of the men were fixed upon him as he cried, Forward !' and pointed towards the foe. When arrived within a few yards, with some encouraging words, and a loud hurrah,' he gave the word charge : and, at the same moment, taking off his hat, he waved it over his head, totally unconscious that it was still covered by his nightcap. His appearance, at this moment, was sufficiently grotesque, and caused much merriment." The following is, also, characteristic of the man. He was careless of every thing, save fighting ; always in his element where the battle was thickest and most perilous : —" He was in the constant habit of tidily , with a stick in his hand ; and even in the heat of battle he sometimes re tained it. When the firing commenced, he might be ob served tapping the mane of his horse at measured intervals, in proportion to its rapidity ; as it became quicker, and the fight grew warmer, this movement of the stick would be increased, both in velocity and force, until, at length, the horse would become restive. But this seldom drew Pic ton's attention off, as his firm seat saved him from all ap prehension of a fall." With a leader so stern, so fiery, and so collected, it is not surprising that his division performed prodigies of valour. He was daunted by no peril ;he was satisfied by no excuse ; and peremptory in his demands, as the anec dote which we shall extract sufficiently testifies :—" During th• Peninsular war, when provisions were rather difficult to be obtained, a young and dandified commissary had been in structed to supply the rations for the third division, at a given place, by a certain time ; but, by some mismanage ment, this officer forgot to fulfil his engagement, and the division was, in consequence, left to its own resources, which were bad enough. A report of this neglect was brought to Gen. Picton, and he forthwith sent for the com missary. Well, Sir,' commenced Picton, as he came in, where are the rations for my division ?' This being the very question that the commissary was not prepared to answer, he hesitated for a short time, and then stammered out some well-worn excuse. Picton was not, however to be cajoled by excuses, while his men were kept with empty stomachs : so led the alarmed commissary to the door, and pointing, said, Do you see that tree ?" Yes, Sir,' was the reply. Well, now,' continued Picton,' if you don't get the rations for my division at the place mentioned by 12 o'clock to-morrow, I will hang you up there at half-past.' He was then released, when he proceeded forthwith to Lord Wel- lington, and told him, with an appearance of injured dignity of General Picton's threat ; but the commissary was dread fully alarmed, when his Lordship coolly remarked, Ah !he said he'd hang you, did he ?'—‘ Yes, my Lord.' Well, if Gen. Picton said so, I dare say he will keep his word. You'd better get the rations up in time.' Further advice was unnecessary,—the rations were there to the moment." DISCOVERY OF A DIABOLICAL PLOT. On Thursday night, the watchman stationed opposite the shop of Mr. Arthur, chemist, 31, Gallowgate, Glas gow, observed the porter, the shop-boy, and Mrs. Arthur, coming out of the shop, the latter of whom saw the door locked and got the keys ; and in less than a quarter of an hour after he observed a light under Mr. Arthur's shop door, and knowing that the inmates had left it, he sprung his rattles, which brought the next watchman, and they examined to see what was the cause. The light was pointed out to him, but it instantly disappeared. A mes senger was then sent for the superintendent of fire engines, who, with Captain Watson, immediately repaired to the shop. On obtaining access a most extraordinary scene was discovered. On the floor of the shop, from the front door, as far as the steps leading to the back room, and into the room itself, they found a train of gunpowder, about ten inches broad, and of considerable depth, and from this, near to the door of the back room, they found two other trains, each carried round the counter to the windows, and equally formidable in point of extent with the one between the counters. On making a search through the shop, they found two small powder barrels, empty, the one having had the bead of it stove in. At the end of the train leading to one window,.and connected with it, they found a barrel of Balsam of Capivi, a most inflammable material, and at the other, a barrel !of what is called Naptha or Tar oil ; while in the back room, the termination of the train was connected with a large quantity of Camphor, the whole having been, with apparently great care, so designed as to render the destruction of the shop inevitable. On the top of the glass cases, which lay on the counter, a quantity of Lucifer matches were spread out as if to catch the first flame which might reach the top of the counter. 'The top of the box was found, but the sand paper was gone. Captain Watson, with his hands, then lifted as much powder from the floor as filled one of the barrels. The powder thus collected was very damp, owing to a quan tity of turpentine having been spread over the floor of the shop. Means were at once adopted to prevent any further danger, and:persons were set to watch the premises. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur, the porter, and the shop boy, were instantly apprehended and taken to the police, where they underwent a long examination. It is stated that two small barrels of gunpowder had been seen in the shop for at least a fortnight back, and it is further alleged that they were bought by Mr. Arthur on the 13th current, from an ironmonger a few doors from his own shop. Had the train done its duty, the whole three stories and garrets would to a certainty have been destroyed, and the people living in the upper flats, as well as the crowds of per sons passing and re-passing at the time, would have lost their lives. No motive can be assigned for the act, on the supposition that it was the work of a stranger. The pro perty is said to be insured to the extent of 1,200/., but this it is alleged , is not nearly the value of the property which would have been destroyed. A judicial investigation into the circumstances is going on.—Scots Times. "..^^ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1835. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Majesties left Windsor Castle at a quarter before eleven o'clock yesterday morning, accompanied by the.

Sir Herbert Taylor left the Castle early in the afternoon to attend the King at Brighton. Viscount Bcresford and Mr. Colquhoun transactel busi ness yesterday at the Foreign Office. Despatches for the Marquis of Sligo, Governor of Ja maica, and for Sir Howard Douglas, Lord High Commis sioner of the lonian Islands, were sent off last evening from the Colonial Office. The Right Hon. C. P. Thomson has left town for St. Leonard's.

If they had said that it was to case them of their money under false pretences, it would, at least, have been honest, for Churchmen cannot, surely, think that the Friends and other Dissenters are so wanting in discernment as not to know that the revenues which they furnish to the Cor poration in town dues, rents, fines on the renewal of leases, &c., are the sources from whence the Church and Clergy are supported and paid." . A dinner is to be glTen by the Liberal Electors of Bath to their Representatives, on Wednesday the 11th of this month. Earl Spencer was on a visit last week to Mr. and Lady Ann Coke, at Holkham. TIIE BOOK OF GEMS, AND MISS LANDON'S NEW POEM.—We are requested to state, that " The Book of Gems" and Miss Landon's new poem, " The Vow of the Peacock," with a beautiful portrait of the accomplished Authoress, are now ready, and may be had of the publishers, Messrs. Saunders and Otley, Conduit street, or of their agents in Dublin and Edinburgh, and of the booksellers throughout the Kingdom. ACADEMIE FRANCAISE.—The prize for poetry has been awarded to M. Bignan. The subject proposed was an eulogium upon Cuvier. The Monthyon prize was bestowed upon the authors of three works. Messrs. Aime, Martin, and Dameron, the Laureates, received the congra tulations of the Academy. The prize of three thousand francs is offered to the author of the best essay upon moral THE QUEEN.--Her Majesty was, we are told, 'greatly pleased with the good humour and honesty of the Mayor on her late visit to Oxford. On the Queen's ar rival, the Mayor was observed driving at a quick rate in his little open carriage, to the inn where her Majesty stopped, to offer his congratulations without loss of time. Some experienced friend luckily made him pause, and got him into a shop, where he was properly rigged out for the occasion. One of the city functionaries brought him the mace. Another was seen carrying the robes of office. At length he was properly rigged out, and waited on the Queen in due style. After the usual introduction, the Mayor energetically asked, " How is the King?" On re-. ceiving her Majesty's answer, "in perfect health," he re plied " Glad to hear it—God bless him. The King and I are six weeks off and on." Finding himself not at once understood, he explained that the days of the birth of his Majesty and himself, were within six weeks of each other, and that the King had the advantage of him, being six weeks older. The Mayor would have continue ,1 the con versation, had he not been warned by some officious friend, that it might be reckoned indecorous, but he declared that her Majesty was so condescending that he could talk to her as easily as to persons in any other rank in life ; and her Majesty was heard to praise the blunt but sincere man ners and greeting of the Mayor of Oxford. TREATMENT OF LORD BROUGHAM AT THE WHITE HART INN.—We perceive that two of the Tory prints of the county have given insertion to paragraphs from " correspondents," containing false statements of in sults offered to Lord Brougham, at the White Hart Inn, Wakefield. The paragraphs bear as much the stamp of falsehood as of vulgarity on the face of them.—Stockton Observer. courage. A FERVID ORATOR.—A Rev. Divine amongst the Ranters, on Sunday last, in a chapel not 100 miles from Darlington, was so elevated by his subject, that he stood on the place where the Bible is generally laid on the pulpit, and told his audience he would have mounted up to heaven there and then, were it not for the ceiling which kept him back.—Shields Herald. A potato of a very fantastic shape, weighing up wards of 2i lbs., which grew on the farm of Mr. W. Reid, Hayston, near Kirkintillocb, has just been shown us. In the field where the above potato grew there were fifty others of nearly a proportional size.—Glasgow Herald. THE TRAP FUND.—Lord Normanton has sub scribed 5001. to the thing called the Lay Fund, for going to law with the Irish people for the recovery of tithes, but which, truly described, is a fund for entrapping the land lords into their own undoing, as was clearly demonstrated by our legal Correspondent, Agricola, on Thursday.— Dublin Evening Post. HACKNEY-CARRIAGE PROPRIETORS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY.—Last night there was another meeting of this Society ; Mr. Mead took the chair. After subscriptions had been received, some new members admitted, and other business gone through, Mr. Norris addressed the meeting, urging on the members the necessity of subscribing for the protection of their trade. In reference to Alderman Wood's Bill for the Regulation of Hackney-carriages in the Metro polis, Mr. Norris said that it was not free from objection— a charge of twenty shillings for the license ought, he thought, to be borne by the public, and not by the driver. This twenty shillings, with the five pounds license, would press with unjust severity on those in the trade, as would also the expense of Commissioners. It was not generally known, even Members of Parliament were ignorant of the fact, that each number paid twenty-six pounds a-year to the Revenue. He, therefore, repeated, that activity next Session would be requisite, or the Bill would proceed, and with it its ob jectionable and burdensome provisions. After a motion to the effect, that the hundred pounds surplus capital should be kept in hand, had been carried, Mr. Bird addressed the meeting, and communicated what had taken place, in conse quence of the instruction of a previous meeting to wait on Sir F. Roe with their rules and regulations. He concluded by recommending the preparation of a petition to the Trea sury, praying for a reduction of the number to one thousand, or make such reduction in the present number as they in their wisdom might deem right. The proposition was adopted. The business having been disposed of, and fur ther subscriptions having been received, the Society ad journed. Mr. Pike, mate of the _Mary Jones, while occupied in the hold of the vessel, on Thursday morning, dropped down dead. He was in good health and spirits the moment before, and was only 31 years of age. He has left a widow and infant child.—Liver pool Albion. TIN COINAGE.--The Michaelmas quarter's tin coinage was ended at Penzance on Saturday. The quar ter's total is 5,087 blocks, being the smallest coinage which has taken place for many years.—West Briton. We are glad to hear that the carpet trade of Kidder minster partakes of the briskness and well-doing which are stated to attend on the manufacturing interests of the king dom generally at the present time. Not only, we are told, is every factory in full work, but the masters have a diffi culty in obtaining a sufficient number of hands to execute in due time the extensive orders that are pressing upon them.-IVorcester Herald. A great sensation exists in Boston, in .consequence of the extraordinary disappearance of Mr. Thomas Taylor, of Frith Bank. The prevailing opining is, that TS'lor has been murdered and buried, and that his hat was thrown into the river as a blind.—Lincoln Gazette. THE WARLOCK PEAR.—There is a singular story connected with the family of Lord Dalhousie, which has never appeared in print. Lady Dalhousie is of the ancient family of Coulston, one of the ancestors of which, Brown of Coulston, married the daughter of the famous Warlock of Gifford, described in Marmion. As they were proceeding to the Church, the wizard lord stopped the bridal proces sion beneath a pear-tree, and, plucking one of the pears, he gave it to his daughter, telling her that he had no dowry to give her, but that as long as she kept that gift, good fortune would never desert her or her descendants. This was in 1270, and the pear is still preserved in a silver box. About two centuries ago, a maiden lady of the family chose to try her teeth upon it, and very soon after two of the best farms upon the estate were lost in some litigation—the only misfortune that has befallen the inheritance of the Coulstons in six centuries—thanks, perhaps, to the Warlock pear.—Willis's Pencillings. The coursing season has commenced in the north, by the decision of the Grand Scotch Cup, which has excited much interest among the amateurs of the leash, and we are informed that the Ashdown-park Coursing Meeting, the most celebrated club in the south of England, will take place on the 16th inst. The extensive sheepslade over which the coursing takes place, and the abundance of hares, have raised the celebrity of this club for sport. It was originally established by Lord Orford, of coursing celebrity, under the patronage of the then Earl of Craven, and continues to thrive in the present day under the zealous patronage of the present Earl. A large attendance and much interest are anticipated at the ensuing meeting of the club. REMARK ABLE FACT.—On Saturday afternoon last, in consequence of the faint barking of a dog having been heard to proceed from the booth, on the race ground, in the occupation of Mr. Villerett, Doncaster, and which booth was kept locked up, Mr. V. proceeded to the place, and on opening the booth, to his great surprise, beheld his dog, almost in a dying state, and reduced nearly to a skeleton. The poor animal, which was in very good con dition when first missing, had been locked up in the booth since Monday the 28th of September, and had thus been without food for a period of twenty-seven days. The dog walked home with much difficulty, falling two or three times by the way ; but is now, by proper treatment, fast recovering. FIRE WITH LOSS OF THREE LIVES.—A dreadful fire broke out in the dwelling house of Griffiths, a mason, in the parish of Beguildy, Radnorshire. Every article of household furniture was deStroyed, and a little girl of five years of age was burnt to death. The father in endeavour ing to rescue his child from the flames, was so severely burnt, that he lingered till the next day when he died. Another daughter, eleven years of age, was rescued, but not until she had received such serious injuries, that she too has since died. Thus three lives have been sacrificed. The wretchedness of the surviving widow and mother can not be described ; she and a son are left entirely destitute by this sudden and awful bereavement.—Shrewsbury chronicle. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON BOARD HIS MA JESTY'S SHIP CALEDONIA, OFF ZANTE.—Extract from a private letter :—" We had a very dreadful accident on board here a t h a lf-past 10 P.M., on Friday last, October 2, whilst lying at this anchorage. Lieut. Harris, R.N., chal lenged one of the midshipmen to go inside the main-rigging into the main-top as soon as he would go outside. When Lieutenant Harris got two-thirds up he lost his hold and fell upon the deck upon his head, and fractured his skull in several places. Drs. Hillier and Birtwhistle, the surgeons of the vessel, gave immediate attendance, but his death was instantaneous." Mr. R. A. Dundas (ex-Member for Ipswich, son, in-law of the Earl of Elgin) has just received a vast acces sion of property, by the acquisition of the Bloxholme estates in Lincolnshire, which were bequeathed to him by the late Mrs. Manners, of Grosvenor-square. The Earl of Westmoreland and his daughter, Lady Geurgiana Fane, arrived in Grosvenor-square yesterday from Brighton, whence they proceed to Apthorpe, in Nor thamptonshire, to receive fashionable visitors, during the absence of his Lordship's son, Viscount Burghersh, on the Continent. The Viscountess and her children have been staying at her Noble Uncle's (the Duke of Wellington's) at Walmer. A requisition is in progress in Limerick to invite the Right Hon. Thomas Spring Rice, to a public dinner in that city.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. The Duchess of Kent's munificent donation of 2001. to the Charities of the Isle of Thanet, have been thus dis tributed, agreeably to Sir John Conroy's letter. At Rams gate, 95/. ; Margate, 90/. ; Broadstairs, 15/. ; total, 2001. Her Royal Highness having had applications for the use of her name and that of the Princess Victoria, from sonic of these charities, expressed herself, through Sir John Conroy, willing to accede that privilege to all, where those persons who conduct them consider their use may prove beneficial to their interest. The Duke of Newcastle, who, with his daughters, is at present residing in Aberystwith, has given 500 guineas towards the completion of the Breakwater forming at that place.—Cambrian. On Monday, the 2d instant, a General Assembly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Somerset House, when Mr. Daniel M'Clise and Mr. Solomon Alexander Hart were elected Associates, and Mr. Samuel Cousins, Associate Engraver of that Institution. LORD MAYOR'S INAUGURATION DINNER.— The inauguration dinner of Mr. Alderman Copeland, the Lord Mayor elect, was given yesterday at the Hall of the Goldsmiths' Company. 203 gentlemen sat down. The usual toasts were drank. On the health of the Lord Mayor elect being drank, Mr. Alderman Copeland re turned thanks, and assured the company that he would endeavour to discharge his duties in such a manner as he trusted would secure the approbation of his fellow-citizens. He would persevere in the course he had hitherto pursued, and act honestly and independently. The Lord Mayor elect, in proposing the " health of the Recorder," p ass ed a high eulogium on him, and observed, that since the Learned Gentleman became Recorder of London, the electors of the University of Cambridge had chosen him as their Re presentative in Parliament. " The Duke of Wellington, and one cheer more." " Mr. W. Ward, and prosperity to the mercantile interest of the City of London." Several other toasts were drank, and the conviviality of the meeting was kept up till a late hour. REGISTRATION AT BRISTOL.—The result of the registration at Bristol, as respects claims, gives a balance of 47 in favour of the Reformers ; they have also sustained 247 more objections than the -Tories. The total number of the constituency appears to be 10,446. RADNORSIIIRE.—The revision of the list of voters for the county shows a total of 1,844, being an increase of 770 ; and every Reformer will be glad to know that the registry exhibits a sound majority of upwards of 300 voters for the Liberal cause.—Cambrian. STATE OF THE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH ELEC TION.—Number of householders on the corrected list 9295, of whom voted, at the last election for— Ewart and Morris 2319 Sandon and Douglas Sandon and Ewart Did not vote last election - 9293 Freemen 3550 Total There is an increase in the householders of 530 and a de crease in the freemen's list of 177,—the joint - register of last year being 12,492. . . HEREDITARY SINGERS !—A provincial paper says " the Misses Smith—by whom the sweetest power of song is shewn at Stamford—inherit all the vocal genius and more than all the musical talent of their distinguished niece the celebrated Miss Stephens. These matchless vocalists and truly respectable young ladies with their highly gifted parent, have formed engagements for a limited number of nights at the Sheffield and Doncaster Theatres." [We happen to have heard these young ladies lately in town, and know that their rising reputation in the musical world is strong and substantial enough to remain uninjured even by a puff of such exquisite absurdity as the foregoing—other wise we should commisserate their fate in not being spared from such friends as our provincial critic.] REDUCTION OF POOR RATES.—At the recent examination of the Overseer's account at Swindon, before Colonel A'Court and a Bench of Magistrates, the Gallant Colonel expressed himself very much satisfied in finding the expenditure of the rates in the parish of Highworth, to be upwards of 900/. less, than it was three years ago. The additional Overseer at the same time stated, that he thought that a reduction in the expenditure of the poor for the pre sent year would be above 4001. THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.—The Tory club have treated the reporters for the independent press in the county just as might have been expected. On this, as on all other similar occasions, the Tories pursued their usual pusillanimous course, and excluded all reporters except those on whom they could rely for giving a favou ra bl e accoun t o f th e i r p rocee di ngs , and for conceaing any awkward circumstances which might arise on the occasion.—Carnarvon Herald. SYNOD OF ABERDEEN.—The Orange members of the Synod of Aberdeen must be highly delighted with the attention which their illiberal and anti-Christian declara tion has attracted. They have obtained the object they had in view. Their conduct has been praised by the re negade Times, the ultra-Tory Standard, the mendacious ' Albion, and the blackguard Age ; and they have received a public letter of thanks from one of the deepest-dyed Orange Peers in the kingdom.—Aberdeen Herald. LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.—The Liverpool Albion reports some proceedings of the Council on Wed nesday, from which it appears that the self-elected gen t'emen are now assuming the right of doing, under a sup posed inherent power of their own, what they unsuccess fully attempted to do in the whole of the last Session of Parliament, first, under the Liverpool " Police and Clergy Bill ;" next, under a Bill " To Provide for the Endow ment of the Parochial and other Clergy of the Town of Liverpool ;" and, finally, under clauses prepared for and proposed to be inserted in, the Municipal Corporation Bill. I t appears that " the sum proposed to be borrowed for the pious purpose intended, is from 110,000/. to 120,0001., in addition to endowments already obtained, by Acts of Parliament, for St. Michael's, St. Luke's, St. Martin's, St. George's, and other Churches. The pretext DELIBERATE MURDER.-It is melancholy to re cord that a most deliberate murder was committed on the lands of Grange, on the high road between Ross and Ar thurstown, county Wexford, on Thursday morning last, by a man named James Power, on a girl of the name of Fo ran, about eight years old. It is supposed that the wretched man, who had been many years at sea, and in Newfoundland, laboured under aberration of intellect—or entertained some revenge against the family of the poor child. Power met the girl with two others on the road, and selected her as his victim ! He observed, " I would have killed your father, but I feared he was too strong for me," and immediately split her skull with a spade he car ried in his hand, and on which was found particles of her hair, blood, &c., when he was taken into custody. That active officer, Thomas R. Barry, Esq., with a party of the police from Arthurstown, soon after the occurrence, had the unhappy man lodged in the guard-room of the bar racks ; and he was committed by Jacob W. Goff, Esq., to Wexford gaol, to abide his trial at the ensuing assizes. He affects a total recklessness of his awful crime, as if quite unconscious of his situation,—Wataiord Mail, PRICES OF CAN .uS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES, &c. &c. &c.

SUGAR.—Tbere was a great deal of business done in the Sugar market last week. Towards the close there was not sp much briskness in the trade, but the extreme prices were fully maintained. The estimated purchases for the week were 3,200 hhds. and trs. The stock of West India Sugar is now 41,611 hhds. and trs., being 16,417 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now 60,294 bags, which is 10,459 less than last year. The delivery of West India last week was 3,330 hhds. and trs., which is 438 more than last year. The delivery of Mauri tius is 2,942 bags, being 1,093 more than the coaresponding week of 1834. The Suger market did not open this morning •with the an ticipated briskness, but the prices of last week are fully sup. ported. There is a small increase in the stock this week, and the nearest estimate that can be made, with the expected arrivals, compared with last year, would bring the compara tive stock on the 31st December about 13,000 hhds. and trs. less than last year ; but if the large deliveries for home con sumption continue, it may exceed that estimate. At the close of the market this day the estimated purchases were 700 hhds. and trs., at the extreme prices of last week ; the buyers waited the event of the Mauritius sale, which ac counts for the small purchases this forenoon. In the Relined Market last week there was great heaviness ; there was no export demand on account of the season being so far advanced ; the only purchasers in consequenee were the wholesale grocers for the home trade; there was ao alteration in the prices : Lumps at Bs., and Crushed at 41s. This afternoon sales are reported of Lumps to pass the standard at 81s. 6d. ; the wholesale grocers are paying rather higher prices for fine goods. MAURITIUS.—There were no public sales last week ; a few purchases were reported by contract at Is. advance. By public sale this day 8,769 bags Mauritius Sugar, a very good parcel ; the whole sold with extreme briskness at 6d. per cwt. higher than West India Sugars, and some of the yellolss at ls. higher ; low browns, 605., yellows, 61s. 6d. ; the whole cargo averaging at 625. sd. EAST INDlA.—There was little business reported in East India Sugar last week; a small parcel of Manilla was sold at 28s. 3d. FOREIGN. —By public sale last week 500 boxes of Navannah Sugar from New York were taken in at prices higher than the present currency; low to good yellow, 335. 6d. to 365. ; by private contract, 150 boxes good yellow sold at 345., which is a fall of 2s. per cwt. ; 100 chests Bahia Sugars ; low to fine hi own sold steadily, 245. to 28s. Average price of Sugar, 1/. 17s. 71d. per cwt. MOLASSES.—The demand for West India Molasses continues steady; good quality nearly nominal at 275. The best Eng lish Molasses, 225. ; second quality, 18s. 6d. ; and for patent, 19s. to 225. The total delivery of West India Molasses from the ware houses for the week ending 31st ult., amount to 2,699 cwt. COPFEE.—There was little alteration in Coffee generally last week. The market was heavy. The Foreign descrip tions were ls. to 2s. lower. The good ord. St. Domingo taken in at public sale at 535. ; good ord. mixed Brazil at 50s. 6d. ; and good ord. coloury at 535. 6d. The British Plantation qualities were very heavy, but there were no pur chases to constitute any alteration in prices ; mid. to fine mid. Berbice sold 102 s. 6d. a 110 s. 6d. The reply of the Treasury to the application to admit Cey lon Coffee is quite decisive that no reduction in duty will be sanctioned until the late Act of Parliament is promulgated, and the certificate of the production being British fully and regu lated established. The total deliveries of Coffee from the warehouses for the week ending 31st. ult., are 112,8291b5. of East India, and 181,9091b5. of West India. By public sale this day 30 casks Berbice Coffee, chiefly mid. sold 102 s. 6d. to 1035., full prices. COCOA.-The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from the warehouses for the week ending 31st ult. are 15,2481b5. Rtisi, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There have been consi derable sales of Jamaica Rum at 3s. 3d. to 3s. Bd., according to quality, but the chief purchases are 3s. 3d. to 3s. 6d. ; Lee wards 1 and 2 over have again been sold at 2s. le., which fully supports the late prices. Brandy is firm. Geneva un varied, pale 2s. 2d. to 2s. 3d. TALLOW.-There ha. , , been considerable interest respecting the accounts from St. Petersburgh ; the letters are to the 24th October, they state the shipments up to that period compared with last season are 50,000 casks less ; the market was looking upwards. The reports of this year's fishery and its failure had also a favourable effect ; here the market looks also more firm, on account of the short shipments and the few sellers that ap pear at market. Result of the sales of Cinnamon, Nov. 2:-35 bales first sort sold fis. 6d. a 8s: 10d. per lb. ; 428 bales second sort sold ss. 11d. a Bs. 3d. per lb. ; 259 bales third sold ss. 7d. a 6s. 4d. per lb. ; 37 chests broken and small sold 4s. Bd. n ss. 7d. ; 14 bales Malabar, 2s. 11d. a 3s. 4. First sort sold about same as last sale ; second mid. and fine 3d. per lb. higher ; third same as last sale. Hops.-Market very steady. Prices the same, and the ad vance fully maintained. Good and fine Hops are not likely to be lower, as so large a proportion of the growth is very low in colour, and inferior in quality. TEA.-There is an increased demand for Hy - sons, and al though' the imPortation this year is excessive, yet the consump tion is likely to keep pace with it. All ether kinds (except Boheas and low Congous) are also in fair request. The next sale advertised is about 14,000 chests for the end of this month, to precede the Company's sale. The total deliveries of Tea from the warehouses on which. duty has been paid for the week ending 31st ult. are 532,040) pounds. IRISH, PROVISIONS. -The demand for Butter continues good, but there is very little offering. Bacon very dull of sale. Cork Butter 83s. to 84f., Limerick 80;. to 82s. Bacon :Nis. to 375. landed.

The chief sales are purchases free on board at unvaried prices. INnroo.—The large sales of Indigo closed on Friday even ing, we give the minute details page 7. The sales consisted 8,168 chests Indigo ; there was a numerous attendance of buy ers, and the sales commenced on the 20th ult. at 2d. to 4d. per lb. lower than the last sale ; on the second day 'the demand became general and extensive, and continued so till the close of the sales at the currency of the last sales to 2d. and 3d. per lb. lower; the general result is—the good and fine 2d. to lower ; good mid. and consuming last sale's prices to 3d. lower ; ord. and low last sale's prices to 2d. lower ; Madras about 3d. per lb. higher. The generel estimate of the quan tity taken in is from 600 to 700 chests. The result is most satisfactory both to buyer and seller, showing that the general consumption is unchecked, and that the various substitutes for Indigo reported has not the least foundation in truth. The Indigo was taken in nearly equal proportions by the home trade and for export. BACON. 7 , 7 ~z
