NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PRIZE MONEY FOR TUE FLYING FlSlL—Messm Chard ve given notice to the officers and company of her llajesty's ship Flying Fish, H. J. Robins, Emq., liente nant in command, that an account of the bounty money on the tonnage of a slave felucca, name unknown, de stroyed on the 17th of April,:lB46, and also while under the command of Commander P. H. Dyke, Esq., of the launty money on the tonnage and of the sale proceeds of the Jupiter brig slave-schooner, captured on March 18, 1847, will be deposited in the registry of the High Court of Admiralty, or on before the 25th day of De cember next. PnomarroNs. Clerk--Henry D. Collins (1839), who has been act ing paymaster and purser of the Vixen steam-sloop, on the West India station, the fourteenth in seniority on the list, an officer who volunteered to serve in the boats at Nicaragua, in the affair for which his commander was promoted, and the commander of the expedition was made a C. 8., has been promoted to the rank of pay master and purser. Clerk—Thomas C. J. Dryden (1839), the thirteenth in seniority on the list, clerk in charge of the Ardent steam-vessel, in the Mediterranean, has been promoted to the rank of paymaster and purser. The promotion of the above officers will give satisfac tion even among their own class. APPOINTMENTS. Clerk—H. C. Pool, to the Royal Sovereign, yacht, at Pembroke. Midshipmen—Edwin Field, to the Orestes, at Spit head; Q. J. Rowley, to the St. Vincent, 120, at Spit -head; S. F. Jeayes, to the Plumper, screw-schooner, at Portsmouth. The squadron under Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, K.C.B. was expected to sail to-day, there having been a fine breeze from the north all day. At half-past nine, A.M., the squadron got up topgallant masts, and crossed topgallant and royal yards, but shortly afterwards made all snug again. When the move was first made every one thought the ships were about to start, and numbers planted themselves in the most convenient places to observe the manoeuvres, but were doomed to disappoint ment. It is understood at present they will sail to morrow. The alarming illness of Captain S. C. Dacres, of the flag-ship, is said to be if some part the cause of the squadron not proceeding. The Plumper, 12, Commander Nolloth, and the Reynard, 12, Com mander. Cracroft, screw-schooners, have been placed under the orders of Sir C. Napier, who will send them to Spithead after he has tried them. The Reynard went to Spithead, on Thursday, to try her engines and speed. The engines worked admirably, and her speed was about the same as her last trial, knots 1-10th, with 58 revolutions, with a multiple 01 two, fan revolutions 116. The mean speed from eighl trials along the measured mile was 7 knots, steam pres sure 12 5, drawing aft 12 feet 5} inches, forward 11 feet. Her fan is 8 feet 6 in. in diameter, six inches less than her sister vessel, the Plumper, at a pitch of 9 feet, while the pitch of the Plumper screw is only 6 feet. The trial altogether was most satisfactory, but her speed is not quite equal to the Plumper. It should be stated, how ver, that the Plumper was then comparatively light, while the Reynard has all her weights on board. These vessels have, so far as they have been tried, in contestably proved their superiority over the 16-gun brigs, and will, doubtless, supersede the building of any more of Ibis class. These vessels are armed with 10 32-pounders, of 25 cwt. each, and 2 pivot-guns, of 56 cwt. each; they stow three months' provisions, and about 20 days' coal. The Plumper has more depth in hold, and has much more facilities for stowage than the Rey nard, which, as we have before stated, is only a pirated copy and specimen of navy-office smartness, and by an error, the occurrence of which is much to be regretted, the Plumper's masts are two feet shorter than the Rey nard's. The Victory, flag-ship of the Commander•in-Chief at Portsmouth, Captain F. P. Blackwood, has been made snug for the winter months, her topgallant masts are got on deck, and in lieu has shipped pole flag-staves ; her topmasts are struck, and htr fore and main yards lowered. The Castor, 36, will be completed at Chatham, and ready for the pendant by the end of next week. The Sappho, 14, has been brought alongside the jetty, at Portsmouth, to be further fitted in her rigging. The Nautilus transport, from the Falkland Islands, has been ordered to Woolwich. The Encounter, screw ship, went out from Portsmouth Harbour yesterday, to try her speed, under command of Commander Stevens, of the Blenheim. She had all her guns, shot, and stores on board, and drew about l 2 feet 1 inch aft, 11 feet 4 forward. It is considered that her crew and other weight to be put on board, when fitted for service, would be from 60 to 70 tons more, which would probably bring her four or five inches deeper in the water. A great number of officers and gentlemen went out in her, and Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., followed her out, and went on board her in Stokes Bay. Her engines worked most splendidly. She made, we understand, 74 to 75 revolutions: the last time she was triad, when light, she made, we believe, 78. Her mean speed yesterday was 9 knots 3-10ths, on five trials along the measured mile. She returned into har bour at three o'clock. We understand she will be a elptain's command,.instead of a commander's, as at first intended. The_ Driver stearn-sloop, Commander Johnson, sail ed from Portsmouth yesterday morning, for Portland, with 68 convicts, who are"to work on the breakwater at that place. The Rosman steam-sloop, Command er F oo t e , w ill b e se ra pia by the dockyard at Chatham, on Saturday eveninE, and is expected to leave the port early next week, for Devonport, whence she proceeds to Naples, after she has been paid advance.

Mr. Voules, superintendent of convicts, has been en gaged within the last few days in looking for an eligible situation on which to erect a prison for the convicts employed in the dockyard, it having been resolved to have - them confined on shore and detached from the dockyard during the night. Mr. Johnson, engineer of the Prometheus steam yess6l, has suggested a very simple means of extin guishing fires on board ships or war-steamers, whether arising from spontaneous combustion or any other cause, which he proposes should be effected by having one of Kingston's valves inserted in the bottom of the vessel with a connecting rod or key in the captain's cabin, or other convenient place, under his entire control. By that means, on an alarm of fire being given, the captain could admit a sufficient quantity of water to extinguish the fire, without having to remove the cargo or stores, and save the bottom of the vessel from being charred, which is often the case when fires take place, and a diffi culty experienced to ascertain the exact spot where it is burning. Mr. Kingston's valves are used in her Ma jesty's steamers for supplying water to the boilers, and are opened and shut with the slightest pressure. Prince Metternich, who is residing with his family in Brighton, on hearing of the wreck of the two German emigrant ships on the Goodwin Sands, immediately dis patched his son, Prince Richard Metternich, and Baron Ilugel, from Brighton, with a sum of money for the re lief of the suflerors, and commissioned his son to inform them that he would assist them further by every means in his power. We find in Tuesday's papers an adver tisement, with the signatures of Prince Richard Met ternich and Baron C. Hugel, expressive of their thanks, in the name of 160 of their German conntrymen, to the inhabitants of Ramsgate, for the hospitality and kind ness. shown t o them in their distress.—Brighton Gazette.

S ET' N, LONDO N, TURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25,__ 1848. 1 -VPT. That renowned and testils country—the mother of Grecian art and of European civilization—that country of the Pharaohs which now, by the wonderful aid of steam, communicates in a time incredibly short with the coasts of Syria, Caramania, Anatolia, and the Black Sea, with Greece, with Italy, and the northern coasts of Africa. with the coasts of Arabia, with the gulfs of Persia and Bengal, with Sumatra, Java, nay even with distant China, and sealed, fir -fi'Japan, can never be otherwise than an object of interest and solicitude to the merchants, the traders, and the politicians of Great Britain. A coun try so rich in natural productions, so blessed by natural site, must in any position of political circumstances force itself on the attention of a nation such as England. Pro ducing corn, rice, cotton, beans, spices, precious gums, flax, gold dust, ivory, and a third of the drugs to be found in the malaria medica of this drug-consuming country— questions of commerce alone would commend such a country to any sensible Englishman's favourable atten tion, if its unrivalled position, with the Red Sea at its head, the Indian Ocean behind it, the Mediterranean in front, and the matchless Nile in its centre, did not ab solutely force the notice of Egypt upon the considera tion of the statesman and the politician. The import ance of this land of the Ptolemies to England, great in every commercial and general political aspect, becomes enhanced, nay, absolutely gigantic and colossal, when viewed in subservience to our political and commercial correspondence with India. From the wonderful revo lutions recently wrought by rail and steam, the commu nication by Egypt becomes now more than ever a necessary link in the chain of connexion with our Indian empire, and there is not a civilian of any of the presidencies, nor a soldier of the Bengal, Madras, or Bombay armies, nor any one of their relatives or connexions in England, who are not interested in the condition of a country which must in a very few weeks change—if, indeed, it have not already changed—its former ruler and chief governor. Changes are now, in this age of change, rife in stand-still, hitherto unchange able Egypt. The reader is well aware that that re markable man, born 80 years ago, the son of a female slave at Kanala, in Macedoni a , whose earliest life was spent in the humblest pursuits of a small commerce in tobacco—who in 1800 was appointed a pscha of two tails in Egypt—who then for the first time learned to read and write—and who six years afterwards, namely, in 1806, becam e governor o f t h e coun t ry with whose fate his name has been since indissolubly bound up—the reader, we say, is aware that Mahommed Ali, full of years and of infirmities, some time since retired from the fatigues of his Government, and that in consequence the cares of empire devolved on his second son, Ibrahim Pacha, the successful commander in the expedition against the Wachabees, and who visited England some three or four years ago. From some of the latest accounts it would appear that this son Ibrahim—the actual ruler of Egypt —whom the old man had looked upon as his successor, had been confined to his bed for more than three weeks, without hope of recovery—that no person was allowed to go near him—and that as a last resource he was to be conveyed to the milder climate of Upper Egypt. Other accounts intimate the impossibility of the patient's re covery ; while later and probably more authentic letters speak of his death as an event which might be instantly looked for, if, indeed, it had not already taken place. Under these circumstances Abbas Pacha would undoubtedly succeed to the Government of Egypt. But that personage had left Suez for the port of Jedda at the end of October, on a pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, on board the company's steamer, the Feroze. It is, however, a circumstance of fortunate augury that, ere he assumes the reigns of power, his Highness will have an opportunity of seeing and learning, on board a company's vessel, of how much importance it is to the civilizstioa and commerce of the world, as well as to the prosperty of Egypt, over which he is destined to rule as Viceroy, that all those facilities accorded long ago by Mahommed Ali should Le continued—indeed augmented and increased. Such an influence is not merely necessary to. Eng land, in order to give us the master-key overland to our own possessions, but it is also necessary to the interests of European trade—to the prosperity of Egypt itself—to the integrity of the Ottoman empire— to the security of Persia—and to the good government of the provinces washed by the waters of the " dark rolling" Danube. Such an influence is necessary, to Egypt herself, for if anything, after thirty centuries of slavery, can reclaim a land remarkable for its teeming fertility, unrivalled climate, and rich natural productions, from misery and slavery, it will be its now becoming— we will not say continuing, for the passenger trade is but commencing—the high road from England and Europe to the distant east. If this truth was telt years ago by Mahommed Ali himself, a man born in indigence, nurtured in adversity, and who ruled Egypt more as a proprietor seeking a profit, than a viceroy looking to the happiness and prosperity of his subjects, how much more keenly ought it to be felt and acknowledged by Abbas Pacha, a man of our own time and epoch, who has had advantages of education, culture, and observa tion, denied to either Mahommed Ali or Ibrahim P ac h a , _ _ his predecessors. Every traveller who has visited Egypt during the last twenty years concurs in stating, that, notwithstanding the natural advantages of the climate and country, nothing can equal the misery and wretch edness of the inhabitants. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied by the most prejudiced of these travellers that Mahommed Ali was in his way, and after his own fiEhion, a considerable reformer. That he created an army and a navy—that ht introduced telegraphs— that he commc.nced and extended public works —as, for example, the canal from Alexandria to Cairo—that he introduced manufactories of sugar,. of saltpetre, and of guniowder—that he established cannon foun- dries and ex 4 carated docks—that he improved roadsteads and harbours—cannot by friend or foe be gainsaid. But, on the other hand, it is ((pally clear and incontestable that the Fullahs were ground dow❑ by a severe and grinding ta7Lati. , n, and teat the kingdom wss in a men sune contiseattd to the personal and pecuninry profit of the money-loving and money-meting Viceroy. By such means it was that Mahommed A►i, accumulated immense treasure, and realisvd immense receipts—receipts w hich rendered hi:n a wealthy and prosperous Pacha. But, notwithstanding t hese acquisitions, he must ever be considered by the historian . and by posterity as rather a great merchant and successful commercial speculator, than as a great ruler. Under his mercantile sway, Egypt became an immense granary and a huge fabric, in which a species of imperial merchant, manufacturer, and agriculturist, enriched himself at the expellee of the country, whose inhabitants he over-taxed, and whose soil he over-farmed, almost to exhaustion. In the present condition of Europe and of the East, it becomes the duty of a foreign Minister of Great Britain—instead of wasting his time in a wordy war with Sotomayor or in a petty personal struggle with N arvaez —t o turn his eyes towards Egypt—nearer to us now than Vienna was half a century ago—and to seek to mnintain in that country the necessary and : - .holesome preponderance and protec tion of Great Britain. To other great Powers an influence in Egypt may be useful—to us in Engl Ind it is indispensa ble; and the Minister who, in the present conjuncture of Continental polities, loses his hold on Egypt, deserves impeachment in the face of the Parliament and people of England. Is the East thero is always a disposition to submit to an appearance of strength—and to be coun selled by anything savouring of the prestige of power. As it is the nature of all power to assert and vindicate itself, so never was the occasion fairer or more fitting for Great Britain than at this moment. Let Abbas Pacha be made unmistakeably to understand our fixed will—and our carnest wishes—as a question that con- cerns his own independent life and existence—and the intrigues of Russia in Wallachia, Bulgaria, Servin, and Persia, and her attempts at undue influence in Constan tinople may be disregarded and scorned. We have ten dered fair counsel to the Foreign Secretary. But that Noble Viscount sometimes allows wise words to sleep in his ear, and listens envy to the snail suggestions of a wrathful vanity.

Mr. PRENTICE applied to the Court for an enlarge ment of a rule calling on Mrs. Elizabeth Parr to show cause why she refused to give to her husband, Mr. Henry Parr, the possession of a male child, aged three years. It appeared that Mr. Parr had obtained a habeas corpus to bring up the child. The child was accordingly brought before Mr. Justice Patteson in the Bail Court. He (Mr. Prentice) now appeared to show cause, upon affidavits of Mrs. Parr, Mr. White, and several others, why she refused to render up the child to her husband. The affidavits stated that the parties had been married several years, and that Mr. Parr had treated her with the greatest cruelty, and had frequently used vio lence towards her ; so much so that she was obliged for her protection to leave him, and to place herself under the guardianship of her mother. By the mediation of parties and his entreaties they were again brought together, but she found it impossible from his conduct to live with him, and she again went to her mother. The affidavits referred to other acts of cruelty. The Learned Counsel alleged various reasons why his application should be granted. Mr. Parr said he was prepared to contradict by affi. davits the charges made against him. The COURT said they would consult Mr. Justice Pat. teson, and take the matter again to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Frederick and Benjamin Lintott, brothers, were brought up for final examination, upon the charge of having broken into and entered the dwelling-house of Messrs. Rigby, in Gracechurch-street, with intent to steal. The premises of the prosecutors are so situated that part of the warehouse is over a butcher's shop, and pro perty having been missed several times, one of the shop men and Davis, an active City officer, concealed them selves in the place upon the watch. Between ten and eleven, on the night of the 14th instant, they observed that a board was removed from the floor over the but cher's shop, and soon afterwards Davis saw the head of one of the prisoners, who was at the moment ascending the ladder. The fellow at once rapidly descended and pulled the ladder away, and the officer, who was follow ing him, fell to the ground from a height of twelve feet. The desperate effort to escape was, however, unsuccess ful, the officer started upon his feet, and caught him as he ran along, and the other prisoner was found in the shop. In Benjamin Lintott's lodging were found thirteen brushes, the property of the prosecutor. Frederick Lintott had been in the employment of the prosecutors about a year and a half ago, and had occasionally worked fbr them since that time, and was well acquainted with the warehouse and the places in which they de posited their stock. One of the prosecutors questioned Frederick Lintott, who confessed that he had stolen a quantity of hair from the premises, but would not say what he had done with it. The prisoners stated that they had nothing to say. They were then committed upon the charge of having entered the premises with intent to steal, and also upon the charge, one of them of having stolen 13 brushes, and the other of having stolen hair value 3/. 12s. GUILDHALL. Mr. Hunt, the landlord of the Dark House public house in Newgate-market, was summoned before Alder man Wilson, for wantonly and cruelly ill-treating a cat in his parlour. Police-constable 261 stated, that while going his rounds about three o'clock last Friday morning, he passed the defendant's house, and heard a great noise inside, as if a cat and dog were fighting, and the uproar continued for some time. He looked through the win dow, but owing to the peculiar kind of glass he could not distinguish the parties there, although from the sha dows there must have been several persons present. At any rate he could say with confidence, that two men were setting a dog to worry a cat. He afterwards heard a moaning kin of noise. The outer door being closed, he did not enter ; but on returning, about twenty mi nutes after, he found the house open, and the cat lying dead upon the floor, while the dog was still worrying and shaking it about. Alderman Witsme (to the defendant)—What answer have you to the present charge? Mr. Hunt—The fact is, I had the cat for some years, but the previous night she stole a rabbit, and I made up my mind to kill her, and accordingly got a man to effect that object. She was first knocked on the head, and then the man stamped on her neck and killed her. With respect to the dog, it was only a puppy, which would sooner run away than go near a cat. .All the officer has stated with respect to the moaning is untrue. The defendant then called Edward Owen, who said be was a butcher, and resided at 39, King-street, Holborn, and was on business from two until four o'clock on the morning in question. Alderman WeLsote—What business? Witness—Why, to get a little refreshment, and I can say the dog did not touch the cat until it was dead. Alderman WILSON—Who killed it? Witness—Why, I did. Alderman WILSON—In what way? Witness—Why, I knocked its head against the walls. Alderman WILSON—flow did you hold it? Witness —By its feat. Alderman Wn.soN observed, it was a strange way of killing a cat, but in his opinion the dog killed it, al though, unfortuntitely, there was no distinct proof, in consequonce of the officer not bring able to see clearly through the windows. Under the circumstances he was obliged to dismiss the case. MA RL BOR 0 17G STREE T. William Mahe, conjuror's artist, was summoned before Mr. Bingham, for detaining a quantity of articles es sential to the exhibition of tricks of legerdemain, alleged to be the property of M. Dubourg, the proprietor of the Hall of Home. M. Dubourg said it was his intention to have in• creased the attractions of his establiehrnent by displays of the wonderful art of legerdemain, and for that pur pose he engaged two artists, one of them the defendant, to manufacture the necessary artistic properties, fur nishing them with money from time to time to purchase meterials. Among other contrivances to puzzle the public were a pasteboard swan that laid an endless number of g nuino eggs, an automaton figure, in blue satin inexpressibles, that told fortunes as truly as the Norwood gipsey, a magic eagle, and no end of conjura tion cups, balls, and pedestals. The defendant was ex• ceedingly clever as an artist, and be was employed at a standing salary of a pound a week to make these ar ticles. The exhibition, however, was put off, and the conjuring apparatus deposited in a room on the pre mises, in Windmill-street; but from something that was communicated to him, he was induced to look at his stock, when he found that swan, eagle, blue satin breeches, and about a wheelbarrow-full of similar marvels bad disapeared. Pursuing his inquiries, he found that the defendant, in addition to being an artist, was a bit of a conjurer himself, and that being about to set up on bis own account, he had given a practical proof of his prcstigidatory proficiency by conjuring all the articles:in question out of the premises in Windmill -street into his own cupboard in Long-acre. The value of the property thus abstracted he set down at 10/. Mr. Woutner, for the defendant, contended that the property was not M. Dubourg's. The articles in ques tion were the production of the defendant's leisure hours and the materials were purchased with his own money. It was absurd to say that an artist of the admitted skill of his client was sufficiently paid at II a week. He had given the benefit of his skill to M. Dubourg during the day, and at night, or w h en a t l e i sure, h e had, by the aid of pasteboard, tinsel, and deal wood, constructed and invented an apparatus of conjuring wonders that might serve to puzzle even a bench of magistrates. M. Dubourg said the defendant's time belonged to him. Besides, he could prove that the materials of many of the articles then in court had been bought with funds obtained from him by the defendant. A witness named Bedford was called, who proved that he and the defendant had got money at various times from M. Dubourg to buy materials, and that some of the articles produced had been constructed out of ma terials so purchased. The case, which underwent several hea r i ngs , h av i ng been concluded, Mr. BINGHAM gave judgment. Under the circum stances, ho was of opinion that the complainant had established a clear right to the apparatus in dispute ; which must, therefore, be delivered to him.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made iii the week ending November 21, 1848. is 235. sd. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. - -- • -- (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 24.) S lIGAR,—To-r1 ay the importers of Raw Sugar were not disposed to make any further concesesion in the value, still exporters or home trade buyers could not be induced to extend their purchases, as the supply continues good. West India was dealt in with caution, both for the pan and scale, at the rates of yesterday. At public sale 102 hhds 21 tierces and 44 barrels of Barbadoes were only in part sold upon barely former terms ; good yellow went at 38s 6d, good middling 375, middling 35s 6d to 36s 63, low 34s to 355. The purchases to-day are only 210, making 1,096 hhds and trcs for the week, but prices are not more than 6d per cwt lower than on Fri day last. For public sale on Tuesday 150 hhds of Bar badoes, 800 bags of Mauritius, 200 bags of Bengal; and for Wednesday 151 hhds 19 casks of Cuba Muscovado Sugar are declared. REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were dealt in with more readiness for home trade purposes; good brown lumps at 475, and standard at 48s per cwt. The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm at former rates. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the public sales of 2,567 bags, 26 casks, and 42 barrels Mauritius Sugar went off flatly, a part only finding buyers at about former terms. The chief part consisted of small lots, and of Sugar out of condition. EAST INDIA. —This afternoon Madras Sugar of soft quality met with little attention, and 1,629 bags at auc tion were only in part sold at about former terms ; low brown went at 27s 6d, middling 28s, good and fine 28s 6d to 294 63, low yellow 30s to 31s, middling 31s 6d to 32s 6d ' • but 878 b ags were so ld on full terms. 1,342 mats Manilla taken in at 29a 6d to 30s 6d for low brown Muscovado, and washed 28s to 29s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, but privately more business was done; the pur chases for this week are a cargo of white Paraiba at 20s; 10,000 bags yellow Manilla 17$ 3d; 1,000 chests white Khaur 265; -the Pernambuco taken in at public sale on Wednesday has been sold at. an average of 19s 3d for white; a earg of Maceio is reported at 20s. At Baste' 800 chests of tine yellow Havannah found buyers at 41s duty raid. MOLASSES.—OnIy a small business has been concluded in West India this week; still holders are firm, and in sist upon fully former rates for all kinds; the value is from 14s 6d to 18s per cwt. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Bengal Treacle at 15s to 15s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—There was no public sale to-day of any sort of Coffee, and privately little business was done for home use or export. The value of good ord Native Ceylon is 26s 6d to 27s Gd. On Tuesday 800 bags of Native Ceylon Coffee will be put up to public sale. Coes:la.—Prices are stilt on the decline for Foreign, and buyers operate with reluctance, the supply also in creases. At public sale, 262 bags Guayaquil were sold at 28s 6d, but 115 bags bright red Bahia were all with drawn at 29s to 30s per cwt. British Plantation is not offered at any further decline; the demand is, however, not of a more satisfactory nature. The value of low to fine red is 37s to 435, and grey 36s to 395. The stock is, however, on the decrease. TEA.—Black is not offered at a further reduction, yet all parties do business with caution, and the supply is plentiful. Green has been dealt in with caution, and can be obtained upon rather lower terms, the supply also far exceeds the wants of the trade. Notwithstanding the cheapness of Scented and Pekoe Tea, yet buyers cannot be induced to extend their purchases. It is sur prising that with low prices, a large consumption and moderate stock, that the Tea market should continue in so unfavourable a position. The value of Congou of ordinary quality is 644 to 7d, good ord 741, mixed blackish leaf 81 to 84d, blackish leaf 9d to 10d, strong lld to is hi, ditto and Pekoe flavour is 2(1 to is 9d, Souchong, low and middling 8d to is 2d, good and fine Is 4d to 2s 4d, and Pouchong 4d to 7d. Dealers in both town and country are but moderately supplied. SPIRITs.—A large amount of business has been con cluded in Leeward Island Rum this week, but holders have been compelled to submit to a further reduction. The sales are 700 puns at is 3id for good brown, a few lots a t Is 4d, and a small parcel of plain quality at is 3d. East India is little waded, and 50 ',lids of fine have been sold at Is 4.1 proof; low is only worth is 3d. Demerara has been sold to a fair extent, but at prices in favour of buyers. The sales are 250 puns at 2s to 2s Id for 30 to 38 per cent over proof. For Jamaica home and export demand is limited, though sellers are w illing to, take rather lower rates for all kinds excepting for fine, of which the supply is small. Cuba is not worth more than is 2d proof. Brandy is not lower, still buyers make purchases with caution, de liveries keep upon a large scale, and the stock is mode • rate. For Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1845 holders ask 5s Id to 5s 3d, 1846 4s 9d to 4s I Id, 1847 3s 9d to 3s l ld, inferior 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 2s 4d to 2s 9d, Spanish 2a 3d to 2s 4d, and French 50 per cent over proof 23 to 2s 2d per gallon. COcurNEAL.—Priees generally cannot be quoted higher for this article as the supply is yet plentiful. At auction 244 bags of Honduras were all sold. The valise of black is 3s 8d to ss. Mexican 3s 6d to 4s, silvers 3s 4d to 3s 7d. All sorts keep much lower in price than at that time, but this is not expected to be the case long, as the state of trade in the manufacturing parts of the country is better. RICE.—To-day the demand was not brisker for East India Rice. At Auction 1.794 bags of Bengal were taken in at lls 6d to 123 6d for good mid and good white, and mid Ils to Ils 6d, which is rather above the value, but damaged sold at 8s 6d to 103 6d, 653 bags of Madras sold at steady rates, good pinky white 9s to 9s 6d, inferior 8s to 8s 6d. and damaged 7s 6d to 8s per cwt. SPICES.—Of Black Pepper none has been offered at auction this week, and privately only small parcels have been sold, notwithstanding the low rates current. Sumatra of clean quality is to be obtained at 21d, low grey dusty Penang at 2d, Malabar 2ad to 2:ld, and shot at 2-id to 3d. White is yet in small supply, and is wanted at 4d to 54d, fine Gd to 9d per lb. Pod is dull of sale at 40s to 603 per cwt. The supply of Pimento has fallen off, and there is a fair demand at 4id to 5d for mid to good; none has been offered at auction this week. SALTPETRE.—HoIders of Rough continue to display firmness, and refrained from submitting any to public sale this week, whilst privately only a limited quantity is on offer. Several inquiries have been experienced from shippers and home trade buyers, and the rates offered are fully equal to Friday last. Calcutta of low and mid quality realises 25s to 255 6d, and good to fine 26s to 275. These rates are 2s to 33 per cwt under those current at this time last year. British refined sells readily at 28s 6d to 295, indeed some parties will not take these rates. FRUIT.—To -day at public sale 181 pkgs of Patras Currants part damaged sold at 36s to 395, low 33s • 51 p k gs Cephalonia 35s to 375, low 32s to 34s ; 278 bskts Malaga Figs 32a ; 2,929 boxes Elemo Raisins, a small part only found buyers at 35s to 43s ; 181 ditto Carabourna sold at 365; 2,620 drums of Sultana, a small part sold at 65s to 70s; 1,044 pkgs .Muscatels in part sold at 43s to 48s ; 358 pkgs Jordan Almonds taken out • 65 ditto of V a l enc i a taken in at 72s to 78s ; 415 pk gs of dried Valencia sold, Raisins 33s to 38s ' • 232 bskts of d amage d Denia ditto 26s to 27s ; 2,500 drums of Turkey pulled Figs sold, sound 60s, fine 90s to 955. SAGO.--:This article is not much wanted, and rather lower rates are accepted. At auction 687 chts were only in part sold; fine small pearl at 19s 6d to 20s 6d, mid and good rather bold 18s to 20s 6d, fine 22s 6d, low brown 'l6s 6d. Farina is offered at 15s to 16s, and Sago Flour at 16s to 16s 6d, few buyers are to be met with. Tapioca is,- however, selling slowly at 6d to Bd. TALLOW.—This afternoon the markt had a quiet as spoct for Tallow, and 455 per ctvt is the general value of fine P. Y. C. on the spot.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 24.—At this day's market there was a fair attendance of both town and country dealers, and a large show of all kinds of corn, fresh arrived. The demand for wheat was extremely slow, without any ma terial change in prices; pure white Genesse e brought 8s to 8s 2d per 701b s . Oats and oatm ea l were not much inquired for, and the few buyers that appeared obtained an advantage of id per bushel and 6d pereload. Barley and peas were offered on lower terms, without 'inducing transactions of moment. • Beans were steady. Flour moved off only in retail, and 29s per barrel, duty paid, was an extreme price for Western Canal ; there were buyers of bonded at 25s and sellers at 265. There was rather an improved demand for Indian Corn, and pre vious rates were supported; 35s 6d per 4801bs was made for flat American yellow; but Corn Meal met a languid inquiry, at 17s 9d per barrel. EXETER, Nov. 24.—Cattle—A very small compared with that of last week, but it being quite sufficient for the demand, no advance has taken place. Fat beef must still be quoted at from 8i to 9s per score; barreners, 4s 6rl to 5s per score, but for very fresh half fat beasts a higher figure was given. Cows and calves, from 91 to 131 each. Butchers' calves, which were rather plenti ful, sold at from 51d to 6d per lb. The number of sheep driven in was not much more than half so many as en the preceding week. Fat wethers cannot be quoted at more than sid per ib, and ewes at sd. Keeping sheep at late rates. There was a large supply of store pigs, but to obtain sales, lower rates had to be submitted to. Pork Carcases—The supply was about equal to last week, and sold at from 7s 9d to 94 per score. Corn Exchango—Wheat remains nearly the same as last week, although there is a slight difference in some sam ples in favour of the buyer. Best old warranted wheat is worth about 8s per bushel, and prime new, 7s to 7s 3d, in one instance only have we heard a higher price than this for new, which was •for a small sample, which changed hands at 7s 6d per bushel. Barley rather lower, the best selling at about 4s per bushel; oats, 2s to 2s Gd per bushel; fine flour, 41s to 43s per sack. TIVERTON, Nov. 21.—There was a somewhat fuller attendance of buyers than usual in our market on Tues day last, though the price of grain experienced a depres sion. There were several samples of wheat as low as 4s 6d, but the best quantities sold at 6s and 6s 6d ; bar ley, 3s 3d to 3s ltd; oats, 2s to 2s 4d; beet; 6d to Od for the prime joints; small Exmoor mutton, 41d and 5d per lb; best wether do., 6d to 6i-d; pork, 51 - d to 61d; sides of bacon, bid to 7d, without limbs ; ducks, 3s to 4s per couple; fowls, 2s to 23 9d; butter, 10d per lb; eggs, Is per dez ; potatoes 121bs for ls. .Dennv, Nov. 24.—We have a dull trade in wheat at about is decline.

The sale for wheat was very dull, scarce any sold in the market. There was a great show of bullocks. Sheep were slightly attended to. A great quantity of slip and suck ing pigs were sold. The market was well attended with paultry, butter, eggs, hares, and rabbits. lesWICH CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 21.—Our Cattle market to-day was badly supplied, scarcely any sheep, very few fat beasts, stores short in supply, prices lower, except for pigs, and the trade exceedingly bad. Ipswich, Nov. 21.—We had a largo attendance at our corn market, and a good supply of barley to-day, but not 'so large of wheat. The trade was dull and lower for both, say is per quarter on wheat, and 2s on barley. But few beans or peas, and the sale dull at is abatement. EYE, Nov. 21.—We had a full market, and a large supply of corn. The prices being lower, but little busi ness was done. Wheat full ls. per coomb cheaper than the previous week. Good barley brought 16s, fine les 6d, but very few buyers at these prices. Peas, beans, and oats, the same as last week. WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 22.—Wheat in short supply, yet Is per quarter lower. Fine barley scarce and fully as dear ; secondary sorts is per quarter lower. Beans and peas, none offering. BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. 22.—We had a good supply of wheat at market to-day ; inferior qualities were lull 2s peilquarter lower ; the best descriptions m tintained late rate=. Barley very dull sale. Beans and peas very scarce and commended quite as much money. Oats but little inquired after. STOWMARKET, Nov. 23.—Though the attendance at our market to-day was good, we did not think the supply of corn large ; that of wheat was small, but of barley pretty good. The trade was very dull, though dry wheat maintained last week's prices ; but barley must be called is per quarter lower. In beans and peas we had but little variation in prices, being few of either offering. NEWBURY, Nov. 23.—At to-day's market we have a large supply of wheat, principally composed of the growth of the present year. The first selected, new and old, nearly support late rates, whilsrother sorts are difficult to quit at a decline of is to 2s per quarter. Barley large supply, and Is to 2s per quarter lower, with a slow trade. Beans, peas, and oats moderate supply, with a very slack demand, at rather declining rates. Old wheat 54s to 50s ; new ditto, 36s to 581 ; barley 28s to 365; oats, 18s to 26s ; beans, 34s to 425 ; peas 36s to 44s pe r quarter ; best seconds flour 40s per sack. HEDON, Nov. 20.

Superior sheep equally scarce; and best quality of beef and mutton in great demand. The former fully 11 per head dearer; and the best mutton worth fully 6d per lb. NEWCASTLE, Nov. 21.—The supply of all kinds of fat stock on offer here to-day has been of a very in different quality, more especially as regards cattle, which were decidedly the worst in point of quality that have been shown this season. The supply of beef would comprise about 500 head of boasts, the demand for which was more animated than for some weeks past; the better qUalities sold freely at our quotations, and a good clearance was effected. The number of sheep on offer was unusually small, there being only 3,617 head presented f or sa l e . Th e s h ort supp l y , t oge th er with a good attendance of buyers, caused all breeds to advance from the rates of last week, particularly small sheep, which in some instances made 35 per head more money, and business was soon brought to a close. Pigs—the number shown was 212, which were of a superior quality, including 47 from Ireland; the demand for all kinds was extremely brisk, and nearly all changed owners. Prices:—Beasts, 5s to 6s 6d; pork, is to 7s 3d per stone of 141bs; sheep, white-faced wedders, is per head above 6d, middling 6d, ewes, 51d; black-faced wedders sid, ewes 4id to 5d per lb sinking offal.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. A NBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON RAILWAY. —A requisition has been presented to the directors of the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston Railway, by shareholders holding to the extent of some 12,000 shares, and representing an aggregate interest of 20,000/. in the capital, requesting them to call an immediate meeting, to take into consideration an application to Parliament to reduce the amount of capital, to limit it to the con struction of the line between Nottingham and Grantham for the present, to enable the company to amalgamate with either tho Midland, Great Northern, or Eastern Counties, to take into consideration the affairs of the company with a view to an improved management, a change or alteration in the present board of directors, and calling upon the directors to abstain until after the meeting has been held from any further call upon the shareholders. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY.—N o does have been given of intention to apply to Parliament, in the next session, for powers -1. To abandon that por tion of the Stock ton and Darlington Railway, commenc ing at the east side of the Yarm station, and passing, through the townships of Eggletcliffe, Preston, and Stockton, to a point in Stockton township near the three-quarter-mile -post of the railway; and to construct in lieu thereof a piece of railroad running from and to nearly the same points. 2. To purchase the Middles borough Dock. 3. To lease the line to the York, New castle, and Bernick Railway Company.—Sunderland Herald. The first girder of the bridge of the Grimsby and Sheffield line over the Witham was put up on Wednes day lait. The girders are made of wrought sheet boiler iron, and the amazing strength required appears to be gained by the peculiar way in which they are made. Persons unused to such matters would pronounce that the first train would bear down the whole of the work into the river; but it is said the deflection of such girders as these is very slight indeed.—Lincoln The Crossing, of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line over the High -street into the Midland station has been commmencel and it is said to be purposed to open the line on the 18th of December. Whether the portion of the Great Northern line between Lincoln and Gains borough will be ready for opening by the same period is not yet stated, but it is said that the company find the 'disadvantage of having to set down passengers at Lincoln, from whom large additional profits might be obtained, if the Lincoln and Gainsborough line was cora plete.—Lincoln Mercury.
