SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Shakspeare asks whether the Devil can speak truth. 'We have not a doubt upon the point—we have not a doubt that he cannot help it, and one of his worst pains it must be that the truth will escape from him in spite of himself. Nothing in the world is so subtle as truth ; it cannot be confined ; it has a transpiration which cannot be suppressed. All the skill in falsehood, re sulting from the most constant practice, fails to ex clude truth. It might be worth the while of the to lies to found a college for the education of youth in the strict habit of falsehood ; but the experiment would not completely succeed. We can hardly conceive any cul tivation of lying by which prizes for undeviating false hood, during so short a space as a year, could be won. We began intending only to illustrate the -subtlety of truth, and we have digresssd into the difficulty of un interrupted falsehood. Let us return, then, to the subtlety of truth, of which we have now before us a princely example in a letter from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cutnberland to the Grand Orange Lodge of Longford : " BERLIN, Oct. 12, 1835. " GENTLEMEN Having been absent from home, and attending the reviews at Kalisch and Tceplitz,.it was only on my return here that I received the address voted to me by the Grand Lodge of Longford, on the 17th of September. " I lose, therefore, no time in returning you my sincere thanks, and in again assuring you now in writing, of that - which I have publicly stated on more occasions than one, that, in accepting the high office of Grand Master of the Orangemen of the United Kingdom, I am fully determined to act up to the principles of that loyal body—principles in which, from my earliest youth, my venerable and ever-to be-lamented father, George the Third, educated me, in common with all his children, and in which I have studiously educated my son. " That I am become the object of abuse and malevolence of the enemies of good order and loyalty I am not sur prised at, and am prepared to bear with ; for, as I have said, I never will allow myself to retract one iota of our prin ciples, or give way to machinations, which I know have no other object but to subvert the State, and overthrow the remains of that beautiful Constitution which we are enjoy ing, and which was our pride, and the admiration of all Europe, "/ must beg to call the serious attention of all my brother Orangemen to the necessity of avoiding all transgression of the law, for to do otherwise would be to put anus in our enemies' hands. Remember were to support and maintain the laws of the country, and not to infringe them. ‘‘ You may rely upon it that I shall be again at my post in the House of Lords whenever Parliament meets, in spite of all the threats and menaces held out by the adverse party to intimidate me. The Orangemen may rest assured that I shall be true to them, and to those principles which are to support and defend the Church, Monarchy, and country. ERNEST, Grand Master." Now it cannot be supposed that his Royal High ness intended to say any , thing uncivil or reproachful to his Orange brethren ; but such was the subtlety of the truth, that he could not help it. " Remember," observes tile Grand Master, " we are to support the laws of the country, - not to infringe them." As Terence's Simo says—" Istcec commemoratio quasi ex probatio est." It is obviously unnecessary to remind good and peaceable subjects that they should support the laws, and not infringe them. But the truth would break out, and the Duke could not forget the true character of the body he was addressing, nor suppress.the expression of his consciousness or their true character. The only reason for not infringin the law, had been given in the preceding sentence " I must beg," says his Royal Highness, " to c the serious attention of all my brother Orangemen to the necessity of avoiding all transgressions of the law." Mark that ! the necessity of avoiding all transgres sions of the law—hard necessity ! Then comes the " For to do other7vise, would be to put arms in our• enemies' hands." The single objection which reason—' this excellent Prince states to the transgression of the law, is the advantage it will give to enemies. Obedi ence to the law was never more pithily preached ad hoinines. To have held forth on the social, the mo ral, and the religious duty of respecting the law, would have been a waste of words in the address of a Grand Master to an Orange Lodge ; but the reason (" for to do otherwise would Le to put arms in our enemies' hands") was quite level to the intelligence, and well addresfied to the passions of the brethren. In any state of things, such as a return of the good old Tory rule, in which transgressions of the law would not put arms in the hands of enemies of Oran: : ;emen, the Grand Master would not have a ree eon to show. for obedience to the laws on the part of his brethren. The parallel to the moral lesson would li this---" Avoid cutting throats and stealing purses, for to do otherwise would be to put yourselves into the lien s onan's hands. Such a consideration does iiot seem to be addressed to a vevy.- respectable morality. It im plies O'ar absence of any'restraining principle except the fear of punishment. We ineee no doubt, how • ever, that the lesson of the Royal Duke is admirably auapted to the minde and morals of those to whom it is addressed. He has, with excellent brevity, stated the only reason for obeying the law which they would feel the force of. J We here see the cha racter of the brethren as distinctly admitted as if volumes had been written to exhibit them as insensible of the moral and religious obligations to avoid offence, and only to be restrained by'the apprehension of giving an advantage to the enemies they hate. They are thus only kept from violating the peace .by their vin dictive sentiments—it is not by any surupie to do - wrong, but by the consideration that the wrong would give a triumph to their foes. Verily there is a greater body of truth contained in these five lines by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, than in all that has yet been written of the truculent spirit and lawless practices of Orangemen. If we had no other evidence of the character of the Association, it would be sup plied by the inferences from that brief lesson. The Grand Master, in being at the head of such a body, is honoured indeed. Did he learn from his venerable father, in his early youth, no higher principle of loyalty than he inculcates, i. e. the' observance of the law, simply and solely because the transgression would put arms in the hands of enemies ?—Monziazg Chronicle. It is high time, and indeed long has been, that some steps were taken by competent authority to rescue the INliddlesex County Court at Clerkenwell from the state ' of ridicule and disgrace into which it has fallen. %Vc need not say of how much consequence it is to the administration of justice that its Courts and functiona ries should be held in respect. There are very obvious reasons, too, why this may be said to apply with more force to the inferior than to the higher Courts. The latter have an innate solemnity and dignity attached to them which they cannot well forfeit ; while the latter, as has been proved in the instance we arc alluding to, will but too readily sink into contempt if not cautiously upheld by the talent, the good sense, and feeling of de corum which ought t o p res id e over an d mar k i ts pro ,Ga a.es. ceedings.` Since th e re ti remen t o f M r .

Indeed in the "'.mssl:)urg,uii ofa great public object, nothing is further froin ottl''.4ttention than to wound the fe e li ngs o f individuals ; for which reason it is, and because the facts are notorious, that we abstaim from ex hibiting proofs of the strong assertions we have made, which are but too abundant. We do not exactly know of what materials the Middlesex Commission may be composed, but have always understood that the Magistracy of a county is supposed to consist of the 'elite of its Nobility and Gentry, of persons qua - • lified alike by property and by talents to administer the • laws intrusted to their care, as well as to regulate with . judgment and integrity the fiscal concerns of their res pective districts. If the Middlesex Commission be, as we hope it is, composed of such persons, it natu rally must excite surprise that they can tacitly look on at the state of things to which we are adverting. They of course cannot be ignorant of that which all the rest of the world sees and knows. If they know it, and are indifferent about it, it is time, as we have said, that the remedy were applied by other and more competent hands. There are theatres enough in the P . , s. ,,,e'r N o s • :b,dy metropolis, without its being necessary that the public should be treated with the melo-dramatic performances so often exhibited at Clerkenwell ; or that there should be always s,ome . Marplot upon a stage which should be dedicated to soberer purposes,—Morning Herald. KING'S BENCH-SATURDAY. DRIVER AND ANOTHER V. CHOLMONDELEY AND DRUMMOND. This was an action to recover the amount of an auc tioneer's charges for the sale of an estate. The estate had been valued by the plaintiffs ; but the day before the sale it was sold by- private contract for 28,0001., from which was to be deducted the value of the timber. The plaintiff charged 11. per cent. upon the produce of the sale, and claimed it not only by the custom of the trade, but on the ground that the terms had been communicated to the de fendants, who employed the plaintiffs, after notice of the terms on which they did business. The defendant had paid 7001. into Court. Lord DENMAN said that the plaintiffs were entitled to a verdict, and therefore, after deducting some expenses which the plaintiffs ought to have paid out of the commission, a verdict for 4721. in addition to the 7001. paid into Court was to be taken for them. MOItLAND V. NODES. This was an action for an assault, committed by the de fendant on the plaintiff, upon occasion of a dispute among the frequenters of -Tottenham-court-road Chapel. There were two parties in that chapel, one in favour of the Minister, the Rev. Mr. Campbell, and the other opposed to him. On the 1 lth of October these parties manifested their differences in the following manner :—Ayres, the clerk, gave out a hymn to be sung by the congregation : part of them did sing it, and part refused. When this hymn had been sung, another por tion of the congregation joined in another hymn, given out by Coultman. When the evening service approached, the plaintiff and another person, named Collins, the secretary to the chapel proprietors, went into the pew usually occupied by the singers, took possession of the singing books, and were bringing them away to carry them into the body of the chapel, when Ayres, who was locked in the clerk's desk, called out, " Nodes, Nodes, they are taking away the 'books." The defendant seized the plaintiff by the collar, and threw him against a pillar. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages one farthing. COMMON PLEAS-SATURDAY. COLLINGWOOD V. SHEAItMAN. This was an action of ejectment, brought by the plaintiff, on behalf of the Corporation of the City of London, against Mr. Francis Shearman, proprietor of the Oxford Arms Inn, Warwick lane, to recover possession of a portion of the old London wall, which has for the last one hundred and fifty years formed part of that very ancient inn. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up the evi dence, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE. GUILDHALL. Windus was re-examined, charged with having stabbed his wife at their lodgings, on Bennet's-hill: The case was dismissed. HATTON- GARDEN. George Waddington, gaoler of this office, was charged by Mr. Chesterton, the Governor of the House of Correc tion, with leaving a child at the house of complainant, and refusing to take it away when required to do so. At the sitting on the previous evening, Bridget Smith, a pauper, was ordered' by Mr. Laing to be committed to the House of Correction for disorderly conduct. She had, at the time the order was entered, a delicate-looking babe in her arms, which, with Its mother, was given over to the custody of Waddington. On conducting the woman, with the child, to the House of Correction, Mr. Chesterton, the Governor, desired him to take away the child, adding, " You police fellows are not going to bring who you like here." Waddington refused, when, after some words be tween the parties, Mr. Chesterton gave him into the cus tody of the police, who took. him to the station-house. He was liberated in a few hours on procuring bail. The case was heard in the Magistrates' private room, no one but Mr. Rogers, Mr. Chesterton, Waddington, and the clerks, being present. tiv hat transpired is therefore not known ; but, from a casual remark made by Waddington's counsel on leaving the of ice, it would appear to be the intention of Waddington to - bring an action for false imprisonment against Mr. Chesterton. Q UEEN-SQUARE. William Jones svgs charged by Smith and Hall, two 6 the officers of this etabli.thment, with having in his posses• sion a quantity- of unstamped newspapers. accordin: - ; to orders received at a late hour o: Friday night, in. company with Hall, went into the Black - - . friars'-road, and apprehended the defendant with a quantity ot . Hetherington's Dispatch and the Wcgdy Times ; he had aho several stamped newspapers in his possession, the whole of which he said he wss carrying to *a newsvender, named Kemp, reiding at Newinfrten. 'The officer could not say that he v: as offerinj any of the unstamped papers for sale. Mr. GILEGOLIE, upon referring to the Act of Parliament, said that the words of the clause, as it related to. this case, were " for knowingly and wilfully having in his possession unstamped newspapers," and that under such Act the pe nalty attached to each offence would be 201., without power of mitigation. Upon the arrival of Mr. BunnELL the case was called on for adjudication ; and, after a consultation between. the ilagistrates, Mr. GitEGOEIE said that the Acts of Parliament relating to this case were in some confusion. The defendant, it al; peared, was liable to a penalty of 201., but it must be upon a prosecution from the Stamp-office, and which prosecution might be commenced any time within three months. He should recommend the defendant to discontinue trading in illegal publications, which he promised to do, and was dia charged upon giving his address ; but the Magistrate said that he must detain the unstamped papers as evidence against him, should the Stamp-office think proper to prosecute. LAMBETII-STREET. On Saturday James Murphy, an Irish labourer em ployed in one of the docks, was charged before Mr. WALKER on suspicion of being concerned in the late ex tensive robbery at the Custom-house. The prisoner, it appeared, is the brother-in-law of Thomas Sullivan, one of the prisoners before in custody as one of the principals in the robbery, and the suspicion against him had been excited in consequence of a book having been found in his house, which his wife told Lea the officer be longed to her husband. This book contains a number of entries and' memorandums, which will form most material evidence as connecting the prisoners with the Custom house robbery. The prisoner, in reply to the accusation, knew nothing whatever of the book, or how it came to be in his house. It did not belong to him, nor bad he ever seen it. Lea was perfectly satisfied the book in question belonged to Sullivan, both from the writing and the matter it con tained. The prisoner's wife bad also acknowledged to him that it had been brought to her house by her brother, Jerry, and, by his request, deposited where it was found. Mr. WALKER was of opinion that the prisoner, was not aware of the existence of the book, and that he had bad no participation in the robbery, and he therefore discharged him. From a letter received on Saturday by Lea, it is evident that the prisoners Thomas Sullivan and William Jourdan have been concerned in stealing two bankers' parcels in America, in 1833, the one containing 66,000, and the other 16,500 dollars, and for which offence they at present stand indicted in that country. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencer.) BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for wool continues good, especially for the finer qualities. Prices are very little altered, and it seems a general opinion that there will not be much variation, for some time at least. In the yarn market there has been no 'material variation for some weeks past ; but business is decidedly better than usual at this dull season. A fair and steady demand exists, and trade ap pears in a healthy state, without alteration in prices. Not withstanding the near approach of Christmas the market was very good on Thursday. Stocks are lower than have been known for some time past, and the manufacturers are not anxious to take orders beforehand. HECKMONDWIKE.—The blanket market continues brisk ; more so than is generally the case at this time of the year. Orders are also coming out for the American market. ROCHDALE, DEC. 15.—Our market has been dull this week both for goods and wool ; however, it is nothing but what was expected ; no alteration in prices from last week. TRADE WITH PORTUGAL.—We are glad to learn that the Secretary of State for Foreign. Affairs has paid prompt attention to the memorial from the merchants of Leeds respecting the alteration in the duties on coarse woollen cloths imported into Portugal from this country, which me morial we published a fortnight ago. We understand that our worthy member, Sir John Beckett, has had an inter view with Mr. Strangways at the Foreign office, and that the last Lisbon packet was detained at Falmouth two days in order to take instructions from our Government, respecting that question to Lord Howa - rd de Walden, the British Am bassador at Lisbon , with a view to bringing the subject under the notice of the Portuguese Government at the first favourable opportunity. The Rev. H. Walter, of Hazlebury, has been ap pointed Archdeacon of the County of Dorset, by the Arch bishop of Canterbury, in the room of the late Dr. England.

Sir George Cockburn was to sail about the 12th instant, for Barbadoes and the other islands in that vicinity, and then return to Bermuda, where the Vice-Admiral would remain until relieved by his successor in the command. It was understood that Sir George would not visit Jamaica previous to his return to Bermuda. The day before the Thunderer left Havannah for Bermuda, the Scylla, 18, Commander Carpenter, sailed thence with specie for Jamaica, intending to take the northern passage. The Cruiser was standing in for Ber muda when the Racer sailed. The Belvidera, Flamer, Savage, Columbia, and Meteor steam-vessel, were at Barbadoes on the llth of November.

PURSEILS.—It if expected that the Pursers, both in com mission and on half-pay, will be put on a new footing in the beginning of the year. The principal feature of the elle. ration' will be to give them fixed pay, according to the ship's rate, doing away with all tenths and necessary money ; but as an incentive to a due care and disposal of the provi sions, slops, &c„ a bonus will be given according to the correctness of the accounts which they will still have to keep' ; coals, candles, and all necessaries to be furnished by the Dockyards. A scale is already drawn out, fixing what these bonuses shall be. The pay of a first-rate is to be 6501., and of a sloop of war 300/. per annum.

BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY. - - The following Extracts from some of the high Tes timonials of the most eminent Chemists, whose judgment has not in a single instance been called in question, will ever distinguish this valuable article from all others specially attempted to be foisted upon consumers; since, in the numerous cases where parties have submitted their productions to the usual Chemical tests, the reports have invariably been such as they havo not dared to make public. These evidences in favour of the unrivalled quality of the Patent Brandy, further sanctioned by the personal adoption and strong re commendation of the leading members of the Medical profession, (falsely asserted to have been also given in favour of other produc tions) have obtained for it the decided support of many thousand families in the metropolis and its vicinity ; and of corresponding numbers extending to the most remote parts of the kingdom. EUGENE ARAM.—There is now living at Knares borough an old pensioner, named Edward Day, upwards of 100 years of age ; he was a hatter by trade, and was in the employ of Mr. Francis Moore, the constable of Knaresborough, who was sent in 1758, with a warrant to Lynn, to take Eugene Aram prisoner for the murder of Daniel Clarke, and says that on his master's return with the prisoner, he was the man that assisted Eugene Aram into the house, and dressed a sore on the arm for him. Soon after Day listed for a soldier, and served 19 years in the 20th regiment ; he lost a leg and thigh in the Ameri can war when engaged with-the Americans. Being a mar ried man, his wife hearing that be was wounded in the battle, went to search for him ; a thunder-storm came on, and she was struck blind by a flash of lightning as she was opening the gate to enter the field on which her husband lay wounded.. They were both got to the hospital. Her sight was gone fur ever, and she died at Knaresborough about six or seven' years ago. He has always used crutches, not having a sufficient stump left to fasten a wooden leg to, but quite sufficient to cause him much pain in windy and changeable weather. He remained in Chelsea Hospital from 1779 to 1793, when at his own request he became an. out-pensioner, and has resided at Knaresbo rough ever since. His voice and appetite are tolerably good, but his sight and hearing fail him, and he is growing very feeble and helpless. He has one shilling per day pen sion.—Leeds Times. INCARCERATION FOR PEACE-MAKlNG.—Rey nolds still remains in a dungeon ! He was committed there by a legal " mistake" of course—for havin g been ac tive in keeping the peace; which was mistaken for heading a " riot." It was an Irish mistake, a freak of justice, which could not happen, we verily believe, in any country in the world—except in Ireland. The case of Reynolds divides itself into two distinct subjects for public attention. The one is the aggrieved victim—and the other the outraged corn munity.—Pilot. TITHES—MR• O'CoNNELL.--A powerful letter on the Tithe question, by Mr. S. Crawford, M.P., to the Hon. Member for Dublin, has been published in the Free man's Journal. The main object of, Mr. Crawford's ad dress, assisted by himself, is to entreat Mr. O'Connell—lst. To accede to no settlement of the tithe question which does not substantially and effectually relieve all persons in Ire laud not in communion with the Protestant Established Church from all claims for its support, save and except such temporory tax as may be necessary to answer de mands for the compensation of existing interests. 2nd— To accede to no arrangement which shall not appear to you suitable as a final settlement of the question. With the measure of relief proposed last Session, and sanctioned by Mr. O'Connell, he is greatly dissatisfied. He is also strongly opposed to making " the Clergy pensioners of the Crown, or in any way dependent on the will of the Crown, for the amount of their revenues. In conclusion, he calls upon Mr. O'Connell to make known to the people of Ire land the views he entertains of this important question. REDUCTION OF TITHES.--The Rev. Charles Gooch, rector of Toppesfield, has, unsolicited, made a de duction of 10 per cent. to his parishioners. The Rev. Thomas Peyton Slapp, at his tithe audit for the parishes of Rickinghall Superior and Inferior, held on the 3d and 4th instant, on account of the depressed state of agricul ture, made a further liberal reduction of 10 per cent., making in the whole an abatement of 30/, per cent. since the tithes were valued in 1827. At the tithe audit of the Rev. George Hunt, of Barningham, in consequence of the depressed state of agriculture, with his accustomed li berality, he made his parishioners a reduction of 30 per cent. The Rev. James Oakes, at his tithe audit for the parish of Rattlesden , made a reduction of 10 per cent. The Rev. Charles Brown, rector of J3lO Norton, at his tithe audit on Monday last, unsolicited, made a liberal re duction of 15 per cent. upon a recent valuation, an example worthy of imitation by clergyman and landlord.—Seb/k. chronicle. RAMADAN._ .Yesterday the Ramadan month of the Turks' abstinence commenced. During this period they are forbid to eat, drink, or lie with their wives from break of day until the sun sets : the latter is signified by the lighting of lamps on the towers at the top of the mosques, when im mediately after they commence feasting. They do most of their business in the night and sleep in the day ; they call Ramadan month holy and sacred, and affirm that the gates of paradise are opened all the month, and the gates of hell ' closed. It is unpardonable to drink wine during this month. Friday night an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hospital, on view of the body of George Sandy e, a dyer's workman, aged 63, who fell in a copper of boiling liquid, and was scalded to death. The shocking catastrophe was evidently accidental, and the jury found a verdict ac cordingly. ELTRAcra ' , nom TESTIMONIALS. " Your Brandy is free frora uncombined acid and astringent matter, which exists more or less in most of the. Brandies imported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry." " lam bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for urity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed; and that your Patent Brandy i s also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the Foreign Spirit. " JOSEPH HUME, " J. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Majesty." The Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, leading to St. John street, is the NLY ESTABLISHMENT of J. T. BETTS and Co., where their Brandy may always be - tasted and obtained, Pale or Coloured, of the highest legal strength, at Eighteen Shil lings per Imperial Gallon, in quantities not less than two Gallons, sent to any part of the town, free of expense, for cash on delivery. 4 .* A liberal Discount to the Trade. SIIOPLIFTING.-At the Middlesex Sessions last Friday, two well-dressed young females, Hannah Hart and Anne Reason, who, it appeared, had been for some years living in good repute at Hammersmith as milliners and dress-makers, were found guilty of various acts of shoplift ing, which it seemed they had for a long period carried on with success, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. PlRACY.—Friday morning it was discovered by certain officers of the Custom-house, -whose duty consists in examining and reporting on vessels prior to their leaving the River, that the hatches of the Lavinia, a foreign vessel, now lying off the Custom-house, and bound for Hamburgh, bad been forcibly broken open, and that part of the cargo, which, was a general one, had been extracted. It is under stood, among other articles of merchandise, forty pockets of hops, two puncheons of brandy, two hogsheads of tobacco, and between five and ten bags of pepper had been stolen. It was stated that the Captain and Mate bad perpetrated the robbery.. They were not to be found, although a long search had been, and was still continued to be, made for them. Part of the hops have been traced to Lambeth. COMPARISON OF FOREIGN GRAIN WITH THE ENGLISH MARKET. The highest quotation of white wheat of the first quality at Hamburgh is 80 rix dollars eurrent,.the last, which an swers to 255. 10(1. the quarter, and the highest quetation of red wheat of the first quality is 76 rixdollars current the last, which answers to 245. and Bd. the. quarter, and there fore the mean price at Hamburgh of white and red wheat together is 255. and 3d. the quarter. The highest quota tion of white wheat of the first quality in London is 445. the quarter, and the highest ,quotation of red wheat of the first quality is 40s. the qnarter, and therefo're the mean price in London of white and red wheat together is 425. the quar ter. It appears, therefore, that wheat is 661 per cent. dearer in London than at Hamburgh, and that with the sum of 21.25. a man may buy 13/ bushels of wheat at Ham burgh, whereas with the same sum he can buy only eight bushels in London. , The highest quotation of Zealand white wheat of the first quality at Amsterdam is 190 florins the last, which equals 30s. Bd. the quarter, and the mean price of wheat in London being being 425. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 37 per cent. dearer in London than at Amsterdam. The highest quotation of red wheat of the first quality at Antwerp is florins current the hectolitre, which answers to 355. 4d. the quarter, and the highest quota tion of red wheat in London being 40s. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 13/ per cent. dearer in London than at Antwerp. , The highest quotation of red wheat of the first quality at Stettin is 31 dollars current the wispel of 24 scheffels, which is equivalent to 21s. Id. the quarter, and the highest quotations in London being 40s. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 891 per cent. dearer in London than at Stettin ; and that with the sum of 2/. a' man may buy 15i bushels of wheat at Stettin, whereas with the same suns he can buy only eight bushels in London. The mean or average of the prices of wheat of the first quality at ,Hamburgh, Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Stettin, is 28s. Id. the quarter, and the mean price of wheat of the first quality in London being 425. the quarter, it follows that the mean price in London is 49- per cent. higher than that of the four abovementioned places. The present duty on the importation of foreign wheat into England is 50s. Bd. the quarter, which is equal to the following rate :-to a rate of 2001. 13s. 2d. per cent. on on the prime cost of wheat at Hamburgh ; to a rate of 1651. 4s. 4d. per cent. on the prime cost of wheat at Amster dam ; to a rate of 1431. 7s. 4d. per cent. on the prime cost of wheat at Antwerp ; to a rate of 240/. 6s. 4d. per cent. on the prime cost of wheat at Stettin ; and to a rate of 180/. Bs. 4d. per cent. on the mean price of the four above mentioned places. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DECEMBER Is. The week opened with a good demand for the common and middling qualities of American Cotton, on which an improve ment of fully d. per pound was obtained ; but a more languid feeling has been experienced during the last three days, and the little advance has disappeared. New Boweds continue to be freely supplied on the market, and are heavy ; as also are Brazil, and the long staple generally. The sales of the week are 21,220 bags, and include 600 Americans and 200 Egyp• tians on speculation ; and 750 Americans, 150 Egyptians 300 Bengals, and 90 St. Domingos, for export : d.

This is the third fire on Mrs. Elphick's premises within a few months, and is certainly one of the most extraordinary cases of deliberate malice, or wanton malevolence, that ever came under our notice.—Maidstone Gazette. POOR LAW AMENDMENT BILL.—DREADFUL RIOT AT Ipswicu.—Since Wednesday night last the town of Ipswich has been in a state of considerable excitement, in consequence of a desperate attack having been made by a large portion of the poorer classes upon two w o rkhouses, viz., St. Clement's and St. Margaret's. Formerly there were several poor houses in Ipswich, but, in consequence of orders from the Commissioners by the union of parishes, there will be now only one, called " Barham Hundred House," and which is about six miles from Ipswich. On Wednesday night, soon after dusk, the populace began to collect in great numbers, when, considering themselves in sufficient force, they made a simultaneeus attack upon St. Clements, and pulled down the larger portion of the building. On the Magistrates being informed of what had taken place, and the civil power being found insufficient to quell the disturbance, the Inniskillin Dragoons were called out, and the 'Riot \ Act was read by illr. Bristow, a Magistrate, when, after great forbearance on the part of the military, who were pelted with brickbats and other missiles by the mob, the soldiers succeeded in dispersing the vast mob. But during the greater part of the night, patroles of soldiers were compelled to be on duty. On Thursday night, about the 'same time as the preceding day, the mob collected before St. Margaret's poorhouse, but owing to the preparations manifested by the civil autho rities the intentions of the populace were thwarted. No lives have been lost. _ _ -- - MATHEWS A FREEMASON.•--OUr deceased bro ther (the late C. Mathews) was an honorary member of the Prince of Wales's Lodge, No. 324, whose meetings he enlivened by those peculiar qualifications in which he was unrivalled. His professional engagements prevented him from attaining the honours of the craft, but be is one who will be remembered as a choice spirit of the age in which he lived. Few public characters have afforded greater scope for the collection of anecdote than Matthews. The following, however, has been repeated since his death, by the party upon whom the joke was passed, and who, being also a mason, it may not be without interest :—Just previous to Mathews's first /appearance at the Haymarket, he dined with his brother * * * in the Strand. Kate Powell, not the Lady Randolph of her day, but the Mrs. Malaprop of Tate Wilkinson's com pany, from which Mathews had but lately emerged, was of the party. The wine was good, and brother Mathews waxed fraternal and facetious. The host retired to superintend the duties of his vocation, while his assistant retired to par take the daily meal. Being left alone with Mrs. A. and Kate, " Kate," said he (now Kate was unlike most of her sex, and rejoiced in the professional freedom of her friend), " I'll put a joke upon our host" (some years after he would have hazarded a Jonathanism, and called it " poking fun.") " A good joke is a good thing," said Kate ; " and if not good, it is no joke at all," cried Charles. " Will Mrs. A., allow me the use of this spoon for a mo ment ?" The request granted, down dropped the wit into one of the boxes—not of the opera—but of his host, the pawnbroker. A hat lightly dashed over the brow—an eye most wickedly winking—the mouth twisted —a screw (alias a tooth) loosened—and shoulders up shrugged, were enough to deceive our brother of the three balls, who little suspecting his customer, asked naturally enough, " What do you want for this ? " eying his own spoon. " Twelve shillings." "It is not worth more than half a guinea," replied the lender. "I am sorry for it," said Matthews, in a tone that may be imagined by those who, in after years, remember how he could wring the tear of pity. " Hem ! well, I will make out the ticket for 12 shillings, but I am sure you will never redeem the spoon." In half an hour Kate Powell's good-humoured laugh en livened the tea-table, and all around enjoyed the fun which an explanation created.—Freemason's Quarterly. The new church at Westley, near Bury, Suffolk, was opened on Sunday, the 6th inst. This elegant little structure was recently erected by voluntary contributions, at the head of which appears the munificent sum of 6001. from the Marquis of Bristol, in addition to a piece of land for a new site ; 100/. from one of the three resident occu piers, and 50/. from each of the other two ; 50/. from a non-resident occupier ; the same sum from a neighbouring gentleman ; 40/. from the patrons ; 501. from the rector ; and various sums from Si. to 10/. from small occupiers and persons connected with the parish, amounting in the whole to 1,030/. The style of the building is gothic.—Sitifo/k Chronicle. THE MARKETS. rOUNTR Y CORN MARKETS DURING LAST WEEK Wheat. . --- Barley. •:;tts r,c. ~,. Pea.v :, juartQr.
