that the country at large will know that the King, Lords, and Commons will learn what the feeling of the people of this country is with respect to the Whig-Radical coalition with the big-beggarman of Ireland, and how decided their opinion is with respect to the destruction of . the House of Lords, and the sacrifice of the Protestant Church to its Papist assail ants. The fatal resolution (the accursed offspring of the lowest factious party strife) with_ respect to the Irish Church, hangs like a millstone round the necks of the present Ministry ; they know that it prevents them moving a step towards the settlement of the Irish Church question ; and they must perceive that it is a question that the country will not be content to have left in abeyance for their sole pleasure. They know that if they bring it forward defeat awaits them in the one House, if not defection in the other also ; that such defeat must be attended by very different consequences from those which followed that at the close of the last Session. The business of the country cannot be allowed to stand still ; that there will be persons both ready and. able to carry on the affairs of the Government, we doubt not—that, upon a dissolu tion, by Sir Robert Peel, supported as he would be, and freed from the incumbrances of some persons who were imposed upon him during his late Pre miership—upon the questions of the Protestant Church and the preservation of the House of Lords, we en tertain not the slightest fear but that such a majority would be secured to the Right Hon. Baronet as would enable him successfully and efficiently to carry out those measures of .reform, both in Church and State, which the country has been so long waiting for. We have often written in support of what is called the cot tage-allotment system, which, if it had been generally adopted, when we first recommended it, would have tended to check the increase of pauperism, and to re store the independence and healthy tone of morals of the English peasantry, without any of those mischievous consequences to society which flow from the sudden revulsion of a long-established system, and which are now experienced in many parts of England, from the working of that unwise, unchristian, and precipitate measure—the Poor Law Amendment Bill of the Whig Ministry. In our paper of yesterday, we gave a state ment respecting the benefits to be derived to society in point of the actual saving of money by-the general allotment system, upon the plan of allowing one quarter of an acre to each of the 744,000 agricultural labourers in England, and the same quantity to each of the 500,000 labourers who are not agricultural. The value of the produce of those patches of ground, amounting to 1-93 part of the cultivateable ground of England, is calculated at upwards of 6,200,0001., or within less than a quarter of a million expended for the relief of the-poor in the year ending March the 25th, 1833. By this system the poor would not be starved, nor crammed into poor-house prisons, but a true economy would be promoted, while their condition, both physi cally and morally, would be improved. But the Mal thusian Bill afforded a better field for Whig patronage and jobbing.—Morning Herald. The first and leading paper in the Polonais , just published, contains some observations on the relative position of Russia and Europe, of so shrewd and ju dicious a character as to merit a passing notice. The article is designated " Inquiry into the means of baf fling the projects of Russia in the East, without the disturbance of the peace of Europe." This is a di plomatic problem, to which we have ourselves before adverted, and which yet remains to be solved. If there were, indeed, no resource for defeating the avowed ambition of Russia—and if it were demon strated, as we think it has been already demonstrated in this paper, that the actual attitude of Russia towards free Europe, and this country in particular, is virtu ally belligerent ;—if the covert warfare she has thus been waging, and is still waging; aims a blow at the vital existence of England, and tends to deteriorate her commerce, to dry up the sources of her revenue, and to mulct the purses of our merchants and trades men—there is no reflecting person, we apprehend, who would not concur with - us in opinion, that a de clared war would be better than this treacherous peace. Further, we apprehend they would also concur with us in the inference that, if war must come, it would be better to have an early war than a late one—it would - be better to contend with the enemy in the midst of his designs, than when he has completed them. It would be better to oppose him when comparatively weak, than when he has gained strength by each successive act of impunity. It would be Getter, in fact, to grap ple with the giant in his infancy, than when developed into the irresistible strength of his mature proportions. Rut we have never considered that immediate war was necessary ; and a war which would jeopardy our nu merous mercantile vessels—perhaps more than 1,200 in number—which are trafficking with the various ports of Russia, would, indeed, be a matter of formidable con sideration. But we believe that a firm tone on the part of English diplomacy, supported and backed by well organized and anticipative measures of counteraction, would render so formidable an alternative perfectly unnecessary. The writer of the paper to which we are drawing the attention - of our readers, forms an accu rate appreciation' of the actual position and inclina tions of Russia, when saving, that Russia dreads war. We belieVe firmly that she dreads war with England, much more than England dreads a war with her; although some of our public writers have most impolitically and falsely hinted to her that England does so. She has been told we dare not go to war, whatever she does—she has been told there is our debt - in the way.• We believe that this paraded blun der of self-conceit, stupidity, or malice, has caused the " bully of -the north" to have assumed a more swaggering tone towards England, when remon strated with on account of her aggressions and op- pressions, than she otherwise would. In fact, Eng land and Russia have long resembled the two un willing duellists in Shakspearc's Twelfth Night, who, with the greatest difficulty are, by their se conds, brought to measure swords, and are mu tually terrified by the mock semblance of threat upon each other's brows. Yes, Russia fears war. There is no occasion to hunt for the argument of the writer of the Polonais for that inference, while there is more practical evidence within our reach. We mean that she fears open war. By that she has not obtained much. It is secret diplomatic war, by which she has obtained the greater part of her latter acquisitions. In fact, her commerce would be placed in greater jeopardy by an evert act of war than ours; and her extravagant and semi-barbarous merchant nobility would soon be in a state of insur rection, as they were once before, against their own Government, when they found a war with Eng land draining their money-chests and drying up the sources of their ostentatious luxury. But it is not the material in jury of war which Russia only fears. We have now fortunately her own confession that it is the moral detriment of war, and especially a war with Eng land, which she still more fears. Her confession was, in fact, not necessary. All her late acts prove beyond evasion that she trembles at the very idea of a war of opinion—into which a war with the free States of Europe, headed by England, would inevitably convert itself. We believe that the views of Russian diplo macy on this point are perspicuous and correct, and that she fears justly the consequences of combinations reasoned. C ount Bernstoff's on which she has justly Memoir, " On the Means of Preserving Interior Tranquillity in the event of a War with the exterior of Germany," published in the Portfolio, and in which the views of Russia are made manifest, describes the above bugbear of Russian Statesmanship in one em phatic sentence :—" There is one contest with bayo nets and swords, and one with principles." •We shall return to the subject.—Morning Advertiser. Five beautiful specimens of the Bohemian Chatterer were lately shot by Mr. Smith of Burnup-field, and four of them placed in the - hands of Mr. Thomas Ellison, of this town, for preservation.—Tyne Mercury. The Provost stated, at a special meeting of Coun cil, held on Friday, that he had received information, that there is a serious intention, on the part of some 'Arsons con nected with the Government to suppress Marischal Col lege as a School of Arts. From what transpired a t the meeting of Council, and from what we know of the feel ings of the inhabitants of Aberdeen, we are convinced that the contemplated transfer of the Faculty of Arts to Old Aberdeen, will raise up a spirit of opposition to the Go vernment measure, which may, in the end, prove fatal even to the cause of University Reform itself.—Aberdeen Herald. 1 KING'S BENCH.-TUESDAY After several undefended causes had been disposed of, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court to take a case out of its turn, on the ground that his attendance was required elsewhere. The parties, however, in the first case in turn would not consent, although the Learned Counsel said that it would not occupy more time than an undefended cause. The Attorney-General would take that opportunity of complaining of the custom of taking unde fended causes out of their turn, at the sitting of the Court; it was an innovation which was productive of great inconve- nience to Counsel. Mr. Justice PATTESON said that the custom had existed a considerable time, and he had never heard it complained of before. COMMON PLEAS.-TUESDAY. MACKINTOSH V. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Lord Chief Justice to appoint a special day for the hearing of the above cause. Witnesses had been brought up to London from Manchester and Glasgow, and would be at a very great ex- , pense if kept here. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE could not fix any particular day ; he would only take it in its turn. Whenever it came on for trial, it would last two or three days ; and, at that time of the year, would be inflicting a hardship on a Jury. By the Act of Parliament he could only sit 28 days, un less by consent. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for one of the defendants, cer tainly should not consent, and if the Court assembled after sittings he would not attend. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—There is an end to your application, Mr. Attorney-General. FLETCHER AND ANOTHER V. DAN AND OTHERS. This was an issue from Chancery, to try whether a cer tain sum of , money 11%a been paid on a general or on a per sonal account. In 1822 the house of Fletcher, Alexander, and Co., were advised by the house of Alexander and Co., of Cal cutta, of the shipment of 4,872 bags of saltpetre, with directions that they should be sold to the best . advantage, and directing that one moiety of the proceeds should be passed to the plaintiffs' London exchange account, and the other placed to the credit of Captain Edwards, of the Gol conda, who brought the goods to London. The question now was, whether a bill of exchange for 3,5221.; drawn by Edwards, and passing through the house of Alexander and Co., of London, was drawn against his moiety of the net proceeds of the saltpetre, or was to go to the general ac count between the parties. Certain accounts being agreed to on both sides, the only question was, whether the plain tiffs could claim credit from the defendant for the payment of the proceeds of the cargo on Edwards's account. The Jury, after a few moments' consideration, found a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Timothy Curtis, a Director of the Bank of Eng land, yesterday applied to the LORD MAYOR for his Lord ship's assistance to suppress the very great nuisance which he said arose from the conduct of the owners of omnibuses .... _ He was happy to see that an accommodation was afforded to the public by means of those vehicles, but the inconve nience had increased into a most intolerable nuisance of late, and from his situation at the Bank it became an imperative duty upon him to see that all the approaches to that estab lishment were free. The Act of Parliament also made it imperative upon the Magistrates to assist in carrying that object into effect. He had succeeded in abating the nui sance in the front of the Bank, but the porters now com plained of the increased annoyance in Bartholomew lane and Lothbury. He particularly alluded to Wednesday last, when there was such a congregation of blackguards, composed of game sellers, fruit sellers, cads, and others, and such a long line of omnibuses, that he was obliged to walk through the mud in going to the Bank. He threat ened on Saturday to apply to the Lord Mayor on the sub ject, and several of the proprietors besought him not to do so. He, however, found that advantage was taken of his disposition not to carry his menace into effect, for the line of omnibuses become longer, and the blackguards more nu merous. As he came towards the Mansion-house he per ceived that except a resolute interference to carry the law into effect were made, Prince's-street, which it was calculated would be so great a public convenience, would be of no use all, for he counted just nineteen omnibuses in and about it. Whether the City would afford accommodation to the pro prietors he could not tell, but he knew that the Bank would not. _ _ The LORD MAYOR assured Mr. Curtis that he would rigidly put in force the Bank Act for preventing the ve hicles from congregating about the building, but he thought it necessary' to -compel the drivers to dispense with the at tendance of the cads. His Lordship then ordered officers to summon any drivers or conductors who should for a mo ment stop in the neighbourhood. 11fr. il'/rile, of Sweetings-rents, was on Monday charged with having endeavoured to provoke Mr. Eden, a dentist, to fight a duel. A Mr. Lalor was charged as the bearer of the message. Mr. Eden stated that he had thought it necessary to print a statement of circumstances connected with the Ward of Bread-street ; and Mr. White was alluded to in the account in a manner not agreeable to that gentleman. although correct in every respect. Mr. White demand, a retractation of the charge contained in the paper, buy complainant refused to retract, whereupon Mr. Lalor re• quired him to answer in another way. Upon the part of the defendants it was stated that Mr, Eden wrote a very gross and deliberate falsehood, and re fused to acknowledge that it was a falsehood, although it reflected upon Mr. White. It was denied that there had been anv attempt made to provoke a breach of the peace. Mr. White repeated that Mr. Eden had made false and lying statements. The LORD MAYon held the defendants to bail in two sureties of 1001. each. BOW-STREET. The man named Wheeler, who was charged last week with forging the stamp upon the ace of spades, with intent to defraud the revenue, was brought up and fully committed for trial. Charles Ellis, a lad, the tollgate keeper at Hammer smith Bridge, was summoned for overcharging Major-Ge neral Sir George Quentin, Equerry to his Royal Highness the Nike of Cumberland, by taking toll to the amount of three half-pence more than he was entitled to. Mr. Spearman, the Secretary to his Majesty's stables, appeared to support the prosecution.' A young gentleman, who said he was Secretary to the Bridge Committee, stated that he attended for the defence. Sir F. ROE—Are you a solicitor ? The Gentleman—l am not, but I am prepared to pay any penalty that may be inflicted, Sir F. ROE, under these circumstances, said he would . permit the Gentleman to make any observations that might occur to him, but the boy must be present. The boy was then called in, and Major-General Quentin deposed that on Tuesday, the l ith instant, he passed through the gate with his groom. He was riding on one of his Majesty's horses, but his groom rode one of his (General Quentin's). The defendant demanded 3d., not withstanding that he was told that the horse which he was riding belonged to the King. The overcharge was lid. The Secretary said he was prepared to admit that he had given directions to the toll-gate-keepers, on behalf of the Committee, to take toll from General Quentin. That Gentleman was in the habit of passing the bridge frequently, and always claimed exemption, whether riding his own or his Majesty's horses. The Company were placed in a si tuation of great hardship ; for, although they admitted the exemption of his Majesty, and all his Officers, while on duty, they thought it very hard they should be obliged to allow even his Majesty's cabbages to pass from Kew. Sir F. RoE said this observation was quite uncalled for. Although he was permitted to plead as a solicitor for the de fendant, a privilege which was not usually granted, he had yet offered this gratuitous observation. The Secretary said he was not in the same situation as Mr. Spearman, the Secretary to his Majesty's stables, who was allowed a seat on the Bench. Sir F. ROE-Mr. Spearman is an agent by Act of Par liament, and is in consequence allowed a seat on the bench. You are allowed a place usually given to solicitors, although you are not one ; and I therefore think you have made but a poor return for the courtesy that has been shown you. The case has been clearly proved against the defendant, and I shall decline hearing any further observations from you. The defendant is fined 405., and 7s. 6d. costs. Mr. Spearman said he was not anxious to press for a heavy penalty against the boy, but only wished to establish the principle. Sir F. ROE said it was necessary to inflict the penalty, and ordered the boy into custody in default of paying the fine. The Secretary to the Company was about to say some thing more, but Sir F. Roe requested he would hold his tongue, and ordered the officers to afford him every facility if he desired to leave the office. The money was afterwards paid. UNION-HALL. On Monday morning two young women, of respectable appearance, called at the stationhouse of the M division, in the Southwark Bridge-road, and having described that they had been, for some le ng th o f ti m e, in great distress, said that their object in calli ng th ere w as to surrender them selves up to justice for disposing of some property from their ready-furnished apartments. They then handed in a paper with the various articles which they had been compelled, from dire necessity, to part with, adding that, having no means at their command to redeem any of the property, or THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1835, pay the arrears of their rent, they considered it only just on their part to surrender, as some expiation of the offence. Yesterday Mrs. Brown, of 69, Carlisle-place, Lambeth, attended at the office, and stated that the two young women who sutrendered themselves into custody, under the circum stances above detailed, had lodged at her house since last August. They obtained their livelihood by needlework, which was a precarious way of subsistence, and she had, since their departure from her house to give themselves up, discovered that they had sold and otherwise disposed of a great proportion of the articles with which their room was furnished. She added that she herself was in very indigent circumstances, and that she could ill afford to be at the loss of the property which they had taken. The prisoners having admitted the offence with which they were charged, Mr. TRAILL said that he should remand them until Saturday, until inquiries were made. The accused are sisters, and daughters of a seafaring Captain named Humble, now deceased, and their mother is living at Croxteth, near Liverpool, with their uncle, who, they state, is steward to Earl Sefton , at Croxteth Park. According to the account of these two unfortunate young women, they had some misunderstanding with their family, which was the cause of their separation, since which period they have been residing in London, totally dependent upon their own exertions at needle-work for support, and these means of earning their bread having failed, they were at length reduced to the necessity of taking the articles with which their room was furnished to keep them from starva tion. Inspector Hack having been made acquainted that a gentleman residing at Clapham is godfather to the younger sister, transmitted a letter to him, in order to apprise him of their situation, and to ascertuin if something cannot be done to save them, in the event of its appearing that dis tress was the cause of their committinc , the offence. One of the sisters addressed a note to the 'Magistrate, written by herself in an excellent hand, describing, in feeling lan guage, their distresses as the cause of the unfortunate si uation in which they were both placed. EXTENSIVE FRAUD on the REVENUE FURTHER PARTICULARS.—Last week a most daring attempt to run on shore a general cargo of goods, which had been shipped for exportation, with the drawback allowed by the Custom House and Excise Office, was detected in the river under very extraordinary circumstances. The French schooner Lavinia had been recently purchased by a Yorkshireman, who was in the habit of trading between England and France. A few days ago she began taking in a general cargo of hops, pepper, tobacco, and brandy, osten sibly for exportation, and was moored right off the Custom House. The drawback on the whole of the articles had I been allowed, and bills of clearance were about to issue, the destination of the Lavinia being Hamburg, when, owing to some private information received by a coast waiter attached to the Custom House, named Thomas Smith, he was induced to overhaul the schooner, and ascer tained that a great portion of the cargo bad been removed. The vessel was immediately laid under detention, and marked with the broad arrow. Further inquiries were then instituted by Smith and other Custom House officers, who discovered that the smuggled property had been taken up the river in barges, and on searching a warehouse at White Hart-dock, Lambeth, near the church, they found 7,3001b5. of hops, a bag of pepper, and 1,300 pounds of leaf to bacco which had formed part of the Lavinia's cargo. The revenue officers also discovered an empty brandy cask, con taining bladders in which the liquor had been removed in small quantities. The tobacco had been deposited in hop bags which had been previously emptied of their contents on board. On rummaging the schooner another brandy cask was found to be filled with water, and near it two empty skins were picked up. Thirty stone bottles, each filled with brandy, and adapted for concealment about the person, were found secreted in various parts of the vessel, and in a keg were ten gallons more. The shipment of goods previous to the discovery consisted of forty-two pockets of hops, ten bags of pepper, two hogsheads of tobacco, and two pun cheons of brandy. The whole of the brandy, excepting , the small quantity remaining on board, and the draw back on which amounted to 2001. had been smuggled ashore, besides one hogshead of tobacco (exclusive of that fund in the warehouse), a bag of pepper, which was recovered, and ten pockets of hopi. Nine bags of pepper still remained in the ship after the seizure. The captain, mate, and crew absconded immediately after the discovery of the illegal transaction, and have not since been heard of. Yesterday morning the remaining part of the cargo was re-landed, and with the property seized at Lam beth lodged in the King's warehouse. The ship which has become confiscated, and with the sails and rigging is worth upwards of 7001., was towed down to the " condemned hole" at Rotherhithe. The cargo was the sole property of the Captain, and it is believed that he was connected with various other parties on shore, in carrying on the illegal traffic. It was owing to a quarrel with some of the per sons' concerned in the transaction, that the affair was brought to light. NVhat renders this transaction more extraordi nary is, that revenue officers were on board white the pro perty was being removed, and great tact must have been displayed in unshipping the goods without their knowledge. On Saturday morning, after the ship had been seized, a lighted candle was discovered below, placed in such a posi tion that, in a few minutes more, the schooner would have been on fire. Suspicion rests on a man who was seen about the vessel, and whose person is well known. ,ed PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES, &c. &c. &c. LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22.

Rum, BRANDY, AND H O LLANDS•--Towards the close of last week the demand for Leeward Island Rum became animated, and extensive transactions were reported, chiefly proof ',cowards at about 2s. 2d., at which rate it is now difficult to CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday, at four o'clock, a lengthened inquiry took place at the White Lion Inn, Barnet, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances attending the death of Thomas Townshend, aged fifty-two, late post-master at Barnet, who, was discovered at an early hour on Saturday morning last, lying in the main road at Kitt's-end, a short distance from St. Alban's, in a dying state, with such con siderable marks of violence on his person, as to lead to a strong suspicion that the unfortunate man had been robbed and murdered. Mr. Bdward Buckle, of the firm of Newman and Buckle, postmasters, and proprietors of the Green Man Inn and Posting House, Barnet, had known the deceased for more than twenty years—during which period he (de ceased) had been a resident at Barnet, and carried on the business of a posting-master. The deceased was a married man, with a grown-up family, most of whom were provided for. Witness was in his company on Friday last, when he was in his usual health and spirits. About half-past five on the evening of the day in question, he (deceased) left the Green Man Inn, w;th a postchaise, for Redburn, a few miles of the other side of St. Alban's ; a lady and gen tleman accompanied, who were proceeding to Redburn, and it was the intention of the deceased to return to Bar net that night. About half-an-hour after midnight witness was alarmed out of his sleep by the furious trampling of horses up the gateway of the inn. He immediately got up and on inquiring the cause was informed by the postboys that the postchaise in which the deceased and the lady and gentleman had left the inn at the early part of the evening for Redburn had returned alone. The circumstance created much alarm, and witness despatched a horseman on the road towards St. Alban's, who returned between two and three o'clock in the morning with the intelligence that he had discovered the deceased on the road, a short dis tance from St. Alban's, in a dying state, and bleeding from several wounds on the head. Witness saw the deceased at his residence between eight and nine o'clock on Saturday morning, when he was quite insensible, and died about noon on the same day. By the CORONER—The deceased was in the habit of going out with postchaises without any boys accompanying him. He did so on the Friday evening. He -was a man of remarkably temperate habits. By the Jury—l have known of robberies and outrages having been committed on the road within the last few months. The deceased was a most cautious driver, and possessed great determination. William Archbold, postboy, about one o'clock on Satur day morning, was in one of the coach-houses attached to the yard of the Inn, when he heard the rapid progress of a veohicelhea i i e nand on g o ing to the gates he saw a st town, furiously t owar d s the Inn. It stopped postchaise the driving opposite the gates, when witness discovered that it was the chaise the deceased had left the Inn with at the early part of the evening. The deceased, nor any other person, how ever, accompanied it. Waness considering the circumstance very extraordinary alarmed his master, who desired witness to proceed on horseback towards St. Alban's. On reaching Kit's End, several miles on the road, he heard groans, and, proceeding to the spot, discovered the deceased lying in the road, bleeding profusely from several wounds on the head. Subsequently witness went for Mr. Humphries, a surgeon, who promptly attended. In answer to questions from the Jury, the witness stated that the situation in which he discovered the deceased was very lonely. The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased died from injuries of the head, but whether from personal vio lence or accidental causes there was no evidence to prove." IRON VSSSEL.—The largest vessel yet constructed of iron was completed, last week, at Birkenhead. She is destined to ply on the American rivers, and has been ship ped for that country. CARNARVON MUNICIPAL ELECTION.-It will be recollected that an attempt to interfere with the freedom of election was charged upon Lord Newborough. A pe tition praying for the provision of five or six distinct polling places was forwarded to Lord John Russell on Wednesday last. It appears that " the Returning Officers have shewn themselves to be ;ealous and restless partizans." Lord Newborough's party, under the command of Col. Macgre gor, have got up a Complimentary address to his Lordship. FROM LAS CROWN-OFFICE, DEC. 22. MEMB&II RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLIAMENT. County of Northampton (Northern Division). —Thomas Philip Maunsell. of Thorpe Halsor, in the said county of Northampton, Esq., in the room of the Hon. William Charles Wentworth Fitz william, commonly called Viscount Milton, deceased. GAZETTE purchase ; the chief request is for parcels suitable for the navy, as a contract was expected to appear to-morrow, which would be followed by another in quick succession ; there is little left now in first hands, the quantity is supposed to be about 500 puns. We understand there will be great altera tions in the mode of conducting government contracts; they will be simplified and greatly lessened in expense to the trade, parcels will be sent in, gauged by the officers of government, and the amount paid for according to the strength. Brandy continues in a very depressed state, and may be purchased 2d. lower than the late highest point. In Geneva there is no al teration. One parcel of Leewards, 1 under proof, sold this afternoon, ord. quality at 2s. 2d. 00..s.—The news brought by the Duncombe, one of the Straits ships which had been frozen in. by the ice, speaks of the release of six more vessels, and the ptobability of the remainder getting free, but they bring but little Oil, and very little effect has been produced on the Market prices, as the trade only buy for their immediate wants. Fish Oils are without alteration, scarcely any business doing in them. At public sale last week about 100 tuns Sperm Oil went off at 701. a 731. 15s. ; Head-matter, 781. Linseed Oil somewhat stiffer. Rape Oil dull at the reduced quotations. ASHES.—The market is firm and the prices are looking up. SPICES.—There are no purchases by private contract lately worth reporting. The public sales of Cinnamon yesterday was all taken in, except 12 bales and 6 chests ; the bales were seconds, and sold from 7s. sd. to 7s. 6d., the chests sold ss. 4d. to ss. 6d. By public sale 50 chests Cassia Lignea ; sound 58s. 6d., damaged 455. a 565. SlLK.—There is no new feature in the Silk Market; the business doing is at firm rates. 2,000 bales Bengal Raw Silk have been declared by the East India Company for sale on the 22d February, 1836. COTTON.—The Cotton Market remains in a very depressed state, and all descriptions of Cotton are quoted lower at Liver pool ; here there is no business worth reporting since Friday. SALTPKTRE.—There continues to he business doing in Salt petre, but without any marked alteration in price. TURPENTINE.—For a parcel of 2,500 brls. of rough Tur pentine in the Market, 21s. is demanded, but there is not the least probability of this price being obtained, as the drawers arc well supplied ; some few offers are reported about 15s. There is little enquiry for Spirits. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Beane Pease. Per Quarter. s. to s. s. to s. s. to s. s. to s. - 8. - S.
