(Before Mr. PUCKLE and a Bench of Magistrates.) ►William Dungate was indicted for stealing, on the 14th August last, 120 pence, Ifio half-pence, and certain quantities of bread and meat, the .property of Richard Bashford. _ Richard Bashford, the prosecutor, is a grocer residing at Battersea. On the morning in questiun he left his house at six o'clock, and returned shortly before seven, when he discovered that two papers of half-pence and certain quantities of bread and meat had been stolen from his cupboard during his absence. On his return home he met the prisoner at a short distance from his house, walking away. J. Jordan—ls a carpenter, and was at work on the morning in question on the house next to Bashford's, and on looking into Bashfurd's house, between six and seven o'clock he saw the prisoner there. He went for a policeman, but Dungate was not taken into custody at that time. lie knew the prisoner, for he had been at work with him in the same premises. They had both worked for Mr. Cox. On his cross-examination by Mr. Coiner, the witness said that he had on that morning told the prisoner that if he came on the premises again, Mr. Cox had given orders that he should be taken into custody ; that was in consequence of a quarrel which had taken place be tween the prisoner and Mr. Cox. The boy Hutchins was with him at the time. On their way to the Magistrate's at Wandsworth, had had some conversation with the boy Hutchins on the subject of the charge; had told him to speak the truth, and had denied before the Magistrates that he had had such conversation, but admitted it now. He-had merely asked the boy about the day of the month, which he had forgotten. Had worked for Mr. Cox 4'or three years. Had previously worked for Mr. Spencer. Had left him because he had no more work for him. Had never been accused of stealing tools. Did not say when he heard the prisoner was taken into custody that he was glad to hear it. That he should like to hang him, for he owed him him a grudge. Had never said any thing of the sort. their services when the work of agitation is to be done. Whatever their motives may be, they • seem. to be but imperfectly informed of the real causes of the distress of which they complain. Were the Corn laws to be repealed to- morrow, and the same system of over-production to continue, the condition of . the industrious classes would not be ameliorated in the slightest degree ; and when we contrast the misery which is said to exist in our manufacturing towns among the operative . classes, with the. overgrown fortunes realised in a few years by the least libe ral of their employers, it is not difficult to un derstand to what origin the evil is to be referred. Whatever modification of the existing Corn-laws may be contemplated by Sir Robert Peel, he will not, we are sa tisfied, permit himself to be dictated to by people who employ the phrase " provision laws" as a watchword of faction; still less will he consent to allow such persons to suggest to him in what manner he shall per form the responsible duties which have devolved upon him. That there exists considerable distress in the manufacturing districts cannot be doubted, but that the extent of that distress has been grossly exaggerated for factious purposes is equally certain. Sir Robert Peel requites no stimulus from the Anti- dorn-law League and its dupes to induce him to seek the earliest possible opporttmity of applying a remedy to such a state of things ; but the consequences of long years of Whig misrule cannot be removed in a week. Edward Hutchins, the boy, corroborated the evidence of Jordan in every particular. James Howard, a policeman, was told by Jordan on the morning in question to take the prisoner into cus tody. He saw the prisoner walking away, and missed him at the turning of a lane. The prisoner was walk ing, not running. Police constable M'Mahon took the prisoner into cus tody on the 22d of August. Mr. CORNER addressed the Jury for the pri soner, who had, since this occurrence, enlisted in the Marines ; and on obtaining leave of ab sence from his commanding-officer at Woolwich, bad come back to the neighbourhood where this had oc curred to see his father, which he would certainly not have done had he been guilty of this charge. The Learned Counsel also commented severely on the testi mony of Jordan and Hutchins, and put it to the Jury whether they could convict on such evidence. Several Witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha- racter. The CHAIRMAN summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Will:ant Edmonds a little urchin, who was scarcely higher than the bar, was convicted of stealing a cheese. On inquiry, it appeared that although at the time he committed the offence he was in company with a, well known thief, yet he was not known to the' police, and that his parents were bard working people. His mother, a respectable looking woman, was in .Court, and said she was not aware her son who she hal always kept at school until lately, when he had worked with his father, had any bad acquaintances, and that he had been in custody fourteen days before his parents were aware of where he was, during the whole of which time his father had been searching for him. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to fourteen days' im prisonment in the House of Correction at Brixton, to be kept in solitary confinement the whole time, and to be once privately whipped. Elizabeth Horsley was indicted for stealing 12 yards of printed calico, the property of Eleanor Williams. The prosecutrix keeps a drnpers' shop in Lambeth walk, and on the night of Saturday, Aug. 21, between the hours of 11 and 12, the shopnutn of the prosecutrix received in!brmation which led him to look outside the door, a hen he observed that a piece of calico, which was ex hibited outside the shop on a chair, was gone. He saw the prisoner walking away; apprehended her, and the calico was found in her possession. The CHAIRMAN, - in summing up, commented severely on the imprudent conduct of drapers in exposing goods outside their shops at so late au hour as between eleven anti twelve at night. • The .Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended her to mercy on the ground of the temptation which had been thrown in ber way by the imprudence of the pro secutrix in permitting the goods to be exposed in the street at so late an hour. Two precious convictions having been proved against her, she w sentenced to twelvl. month.; imprisonment, with hard tabour. The Court refused to allow the expenses of the pro seontion, on the ground that the incautious exposing of goods in the street at so lase an hour was holding out too great a temptation to persons in the situation of the prisoner. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. rnost '2IIF. EVFNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. OLOBE.—That the Whig party is at an end, and that the power of the Tory party is to have no end, except by utter subversion at the hands of the Chartists or Radi cals, is the moral of the song of the " leading Journal" again this morning. If this Were true, it would not be matter of much rejoicing for the wiser Tories. No party can rule for ever ; and if the end of the sway of the party now in power is to be radical revolution, unmitigated by the existence of any in termediate party, then their actual triumph may sug gest subject of awful apprehension fur the future. Not many days back, a Radical Contemporary made it matter of charge against the Whigs, that, for these ten years past, they had stoo. - ,k between the people and the aristocracy, and declared the; when the Tories should again lose rower the Whigs would not again be suffered to protect the enemies of the people. It appears their lead ing organ is of the same opinion. The maxim "Delenda est Car: 11 ( 1 .9o" has been carri e d out to Whiggish extinc tion. When the Tories fall. (as slliiusters must, sooner o r later), t h e y will throw us without res erve i nto t h e arms of the Chartists ; and Sir Robert Peel will advise her to send for-Mr. O'Connor, or Mr. Vincent. or . 7,[ajesty , h . despatch Iluoson a longer journey for states- P"siblY tdoistance, while the seals of office are held, ad men a" air , single Wellingson of the Chartists, interim, ..7 may not have sent to join the chiefs whom the Tories of his party at the Antipodes. S er i ous l y, however, we doubt _ whethyrWhi‘:ggism .(understanding by th a t name the principles o; a body of stat esmen ne i ther Tories, nor advocatese ate of popular ab so l ut i sm ) i s so utterly We doubt this the int a the country as the Ti mes repre sents exani snore, because w e never meet . who do not sco u t t h e very with professed Conservatives Tory principles. Well ! b ut Id idea of governing 0 principles is tantamount to abandoning the old Tory d if this is the way the Tories adopting Whig ones ; usurper, who ruled by person speculate on putting an end to the Whigs, they act on the principle of that ancient usuri? ause what constitutes ating, a slain monarch. Partiesbcp,ut an end to in this way are apt to revive again ; ; and those parties is public action on common'principles whose p r i nc i p l es are acte d on h o ld pow:er virtually, and mast hold it finally. The more authenti c morning organ of the party i n power says (adopting the words of Lord Howls's), that " a caut i ous out decided a dysnce towards liberal commercial principles may s be exp cted from toe present Mini s t r y." W e shall 'have personation, then, sur after assassination. So much the better. if the 11 . pers act as we ll as t h ey d epose, they may pass f or awhile instead of the m . if awls personate " liberal commercial principles" without really carry them o;ir, ten the very prstence of acting- on them lead back the public mind to the consistent professors cf thugs. principles, and restores them to their legitimate station. STANDARD. —In obedif rtee to the frequent and earnest appeals of the Liberal press to the inhabitants of the manufacturing districts; to attempt by every means in their power to obstpict and embarrass the new Cabinet, a small and comparatively insimillint portion of the householders of Manchester have signed a requi sition to the Mayor for a public meeting, having for its professed object to take into consideration the distressed state of that town and neighbourhood, and the expediency of petitioning the Queen not to pro rogue the Parliament until a " full discussion" of " the corn and provision laws has been entered into," the requisitionists being of opinion that those laws " are the main cause of the prevailing distress." The principal movers in this affair are Mr. Cobden and the other Members of the Anti-corn -law League. Among the requisitionists are many r es p ectable and well mean ing persons, actuated no doubt by the best intentions ; but by far the larger portion of them are obviously of that order of politicians who are never chary - of COLTRIER.—No further particulars have transpired beyond what we were enabled to communicate yesterday respecting the horrible attempt at assassination in Paris of the Duke of Orleans, or one of his royal brothers who tinned part of the cortege entering Paris in triumphal procession with him. But this atrocious event cannot but re-awaken the most paintid reflections on the moral and religious state of a country where assassination is reduced to a system, and trained assassins themselves sympathisingly mourned over as martyrs, when, on pro vidential failure of pistol or dagger, the miscreants are delivered over to the tribunals, and finally condemned to expiate their sanguinary intents on the scaffold. In re viewing heretofore on various occasions the official statistics of crime and education in France, we have nad occason to show from irrecusable authorities that in pro portion as the modern theories of education without religion have been adopted as the basis of legislation for the instruction of the masses, so also has crime be come rateably on the increase. Of late, indeed, the French Government have been made pain fully sensible of the fundamental error of their 'educa tional policy, and have laboured, not without success, to retrace their steps by more specially associating the clergy with the administration of a system which has signally failed in all its promised fruits. But the foundation being unsound—the tree being rotten at the core—it were vain to hope by grafting on it more wholesome shoots from a sounder stem to make it bear meet fruit in good season. The whole system requires to be revised and recast, with Christianity not only for its basis, but as the pervading cement of every part of the social structure. With this conviction no one, we believe, is more deeply impressed than that good man and able statesman, M. • Guizot himself ; nor is the conviction confined to him alone, for the philosophic mind. of France has been irresisti bly impelled to the same conclusions, notwithstanding all the force of formerprejudice against what were deemed and treated as monkish superstitions of the olden time. The recent writings of M. Chevalier, one of the ablest and most enlightened men of the age, and peculiarly a creation of the school of La Jeune France, with those of other equally distinguished men who might be named, tend to show how decidedly they have been converted from a cherished attachment to former speculative anti cipations of social perfection to be arrived at by means of a system of popular education based on purely secular principles of ethics or morals. The frightful results de veloped by the official returns of educated and non-edu cated France have produced this change of convictions ; returns which confirm the melancholy truth of the ex traordinary spread of crime following on merely laical instruction. THE LATE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN PICCADILLY. (ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.) About five o'clock on Monday afternoon a large por tion of the wall between the houses Nos. 86 and 87, fell down with a frightful crash, carrying the various floors along with it, but providentally no person was hurt, the fronts still remaining up. Yesterday, it being evident that the front of No. 86 would soon come down, and probably bring with it the front of Nos. 87 and 88, a hoard was commenced round Nos. 86 and 87, and supports were placed under the bow-windows of the house of Mr. Nixon, No. 88, and under those of the house at the corner of Half Moon-street. About half past five o'clock in the afternoon a loud crash was sud denly heard, and instantly that part of Piccadilly was en veloped in a dense cloud of dust, from which hundreds of persons might be seen hastening in all directions. On the dust clearing away a little. it was found that the fronts of Nos. 86 and B.r had at last fallen ; fortunately no one had been hurt. Since the adjournment of the inquest it has transpired that the name of the deceased was not William West, but Moses West, in consequence of which some diffi culty has occurred as to the registering of the death, to obviate which an application on the subject has been made to Mr. Higgs, the Deputy-Coroner for Westminster, who being aware that should it turn out at the conclusion of the inquiry that the lire had not been accidentally occasioned, the misnomer might operate to the frustration of justice, has issued another warrant in the name of Moses 'West, and on the Jury re-assembling on the adjournment day, the inquisi tion will be again gone through (LI novo. The body will, therefore, remain at the workhouse in Mount-street, until again viewed by the Coroner and Jury._ The — other unfortunate sufferer, James Weaver, still remains at St. George's Hospital in a most precarious state. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER.—There was a decidedly better de mand for yarn yesterday than on the preceding Tues day, and though no advance was obtained, prices were tolerably firm. In the goods market there was a tolerable demand for fustians. domestics, and long-cloths; but shirtings and printing cloths continue much depressed. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, SEPT. 13. The flannel market continues good, yet not quite so many pieces have been sold as upon former Mondays. Prices remain still very low. There is no change in the wool market ; yet prices are firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, SEPT. 14.—A fair amount of business was done to-day, yet not so much as last week. Nor is there quite so much confidence felt in commercial stability, partly owing to numerous failures in most parts of the country, and the foreign demand being on the wane. The principal demand was in middle and low priced woollens and kerseys. In plain superfines there was more animation ; and in light fancy goods, generally, the demand was equal to the season. Prices are firm, and business in the warehouses continues tolerable. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE: MANCHESTER— TUESDAY EVENING. The result of the St. Leger is really a stop-gap to all business. The offers are so few that we must decline giving any quotations. Bee's Wing is all the rage for the Cup. A CORN SHIP STRANDED IN THE RIVER —On Tuesday considerable excitement prevailed in the river below bridge by a report that the brig Isabella, a Hamburg trader, laden with 1,400 quarters of wheat and a considerable quantity or wool, had gone ashore near the Shadwell entrance of the London dock, and had be come a wreck. It appears that the Isabella intended to enter the London Dock and discharge her cargo there, and was to have entered at the lower entrance at Shad well at high water yesterday morning a few minutes be fore one o'clock. The ship, however, had not arrived on the top of the tide. and the dock-master and the lock men not expecting her afterwards until the next high wa ter, left the en trance and went home. About an hour after the Isabella arrived cif the dock entrance; the tide had then fallen considerably, and, as is usual with ships deeply laden which arrive after the tide has begun to ebb, the pilot and men attempted to moor her to the Dolphin, off the dock entrance. By some mismanagement, how ever, the ship wa ‘ a suffered to drift between the Dol phin and the shore, and her heel caught the ground abreast of Shadwell Dock Stairs, where there is a causeway for the use of the ferry. The vessel grounded at this place, and stuck fast, and at low water she was left dry in a very awkward position, and was very much " hogged" (back thrown up, and her seams opened sufficiently to enable any one to insert their hands in the openings. Her seams were caulked as well' as the exigencies of the accident permitted, and the Collin ;wood steamer was sent for four lighters to keep her afloat on the rising of the tide, in conse quence of her leaky condition, and it was for some time feared she would break up, and become a total wreck. The lighters succeeded in lifting her, and she was taken down to New Crane Dock, about 200 yards above the Shadwell entrance, in the afternoon, with four feet water in her pumps, where she commencedilircharging her cargo into barges alongside. The ship is a perfect wreck, and a great part of her cargo spoiled. LEITH.--The reduction of duty upon wheat, from Gs. Bd. to 2s. Bd., on Saturday last, produced, as might have been ex p ecte d, great exc i tement and specu lationo prefer here. themselves whose stocks of the present were low, r and e of duty to w aiting the chance of it falling to one shilling bond the whole of Saturday. The great bulk, however (nearly one hundred thou san d quarters ) , rema i ns, upon the expectation of being relieved at the minimum rate. Seven entire cargoes changed h an d s on F r id ay, and every tide is adding to the quantity already in bond. The late ion. Alfred Assheton Harbord, who died in the East Indies on the 9th of June last, was second son of the late Lord Suffield by his first irarriage with the Hon. Georgiana Vernon, only daughter and heiress )e Go)rg(t, second Lord Vernon. Ile was bother of the present Lord Suffield and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, wife of :fr. George E.

Tt%o shepherds of the Pyrenees, remarked for their skill and hardihood as hunters, lately killed an enormous brown bear, an animal distinct from the bla.ck bear, which lives on herbs and ro ots, while the other is carnivorous, and makes ruinous depredations among the docks and herds. These men were employed two whole days in the chase, armed only with single-barrel guns, and to finish the destruction of their prey were obliged,. after woundi ng , to assa il hi m w ith the butt ends of their nieces. They carried their game to Eau,x-Bonnes, and, having sold the flesh to the restaurateurs, who regaled their customers with it, put the skin over the back of an ass, and paraded it th roug h t h e town, ma king a gcod .iollection. The animal weighed from 400 to 600 pounds. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. An able-bodied young man, named William Lynn, who has been for some time known to the police as a person for whom " nothing could be too hot or too heavy," was brought before the Lord . le.ydr, charged with the double offence of picking a gentleman's pocket and knocking a policeman down. The person whose pocket was picked stated, that as he was walking along. the street he was called to by Pamplett, the policeman, who informed him that his handkerchief had just changed hands. Upon feeling his pockets witness found that his handkerchief had gone, and upon looking at the prisoner, who was struggling on the ground with the policeman, he saw that it had got a new master. The prisoner fought hard on. the ground, and endeavoured to get the policeman under the wheels of a cab, but by the aid of another of the force, was mastered. The prisoner, on his way to the place of confinement, although guarded on each side, was deter mined to pay off his first accuser, and made a most vigorous effort to fling Pamplett under the wheels of the vehicles which were rapidly passing, but he was lodge.l safely in the Compter, where he was recognised as old guest. The policeman'wbo assisted Pamplett said that the struggles of the prisoner were of the most desperate ; kind, and several of the officers stated that the fellow was a most determined and incorrigible rogue. _ _ The LORD Mayon said it would be most desirable to get, rid of the prisoner altogether, an event to which they might reasonably look with some hope, as he vas so well knpwn to be formidable as a thief and a fighter. The Prisoner—l hope you won't commit me thi; time. lAvas intoxicated, or I would not have done any thing of' the kind. 1)o let me off this once. I will never attack the police again, I do assure you, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR —NO ; you must go to a Jury. You are getting too strong for us. The prisoner, who declared that the police were pre judiced against him, was then committed for trial. A young man, of good address and respectable ap pearance, named James Hall, was charged with having robbed several tradesmen. Mr. Walberen, of Watling-street, warehouseman, stated that the prisoner applied for and received in the name of Messrs. Smith and Monteith, of Oxford -street, by whom he said he was employed, several pieces of Saxony cloth. James Lockyer, shopman to a pawnbroker produced the pieces of Saxony cloth described by the last witness,. and stated that they had been pawned by the prisoner. The LORD Maroc—Who did the prisoner say he was when he went to pledge this property ? I suppose you asked him the usual questions ?—Witness replied that the prisoner said, in answer to the usual questions, that his name was George Evans, and that his brother and he carried on business at Notting-hill, that they bought the goods at Leeds, and that they were pushed for a temporary supply of money. 'Witness entertained no doubt whatever of the young man's honesty. Mr. Hobler—He was very kind to give you the pre ference. He must have paesed a great many pawnbrokers' shops to pay you the compliment. The LORD MAYOR—Are you sure the prisoner is the man who pawned the goods? Witness—No doubt, at all of it. He said that we might go and see his stock at Notting-hill if we chose. Mr. Smith, of the house of Smith and Monteith, of Oxford-street, stated that the prisoner was unknown to the firm, and had not been sent by them for any goods. The pawnbroker's man said that his employer was willing to give up the goods at once to the prosecutor without the ceremony of a trial at the Old Bailey. The LORD MAYOR—No. I understand that the pri soner has been convicted already of procuring goods in this way, and it is absolutely necessary to get rid of so dangerous a character. You must be bound over to give evidence to facilitate his departure from this country. Mr. J. P. Foster, a partner in a hosier's house in Wood-street, Cheapside, stated that the prisoner called at the warehouse and' asked for and received a quantity of kid gloves and hose, in the names of Messrs. Smith and Menteith, of Oxford street. These goods, which had been pawned, were also pro. duced, and the prisoner was identified as the individual who had pledged them. The policeman who apprehended the prisoner said that the prisoner had admitted that the goods were pawned in the place where they were found. Evidence as to another robbery of a similar descrip tion was also given. It is proper to state that upon the first examination of the prisoner it was mentioned by those who were plun dered that instead of meeting the facilities which they had reason to expect in a respectable house when seek ing the means of bringing a moat dangerous offender to justice, they encountered many impediments at the shop of Mr. Dempster, a pawnbroker, of Blackfriars-road. Indeed so strongly did one of the prosecutors feel upon the subject, that he requested to know whether he could be supplied with a search -warrant, the pawnbroker hav ing refused to let bins see the goods, although they were acknowledged to be on the premises. The LORD Mevon, upon being informed that so much difficulty had been experienced, said he was surprised to hear that a man who, as stated by Mr. nobler to be an old tradesman, had so far disregarded the established principles as to throw obstructions in the way of the prosecution of such a delinquent.—The prisoner was committed for trial. A poor lad, about sixteen years of age, named Ed ward Chesterton, was brought up, in the absence of the Lord Mayor, by the beadle of one of the hospitals, hav ing been discharged, after every skilful treatment in the admirable Institution. The boy appeared with but a small portion of the nose. and with the skin of his forehead drawn over a silver plate, which was so placed as to cover the upper part of the head, and afford a double protection to the injured skull. Great compassion was felt for Chesterton when he mentioned the particulars of the dreadful accident by which he was so dreadfully disfigured. The facts were briefly as follow :—The ship Eliza beth Ann, bound from America to Plymouth, encoun tered a gale of wind in the river St. Lawrence, and car ried away her foremast. The boy was in the cabouse at the time, and had just Put coals on the fire, when a spar came across him, and forced him headforemost into i the fire. The Captain heard his cries, and dregged bins out by the legs, dreadfully burnt, and in great agony. His nose was burnt off, and his forehead was stripped to the bone, but the captain immediately got some flour and oil, and poulticed the whole face, and all the crew treated him with remarkable humanity. All that medical skill could do had been done for him. The doctors at the Hospital had contrived to make up a sort of nose for him, and propped it up with wonderful skill, and they had made him a silver forehead, against which he could knock his knuckles as hard as he chose, and he was thankful to God and to them, that after he thought his whole face was burnt off, there was a good part of it remaining. He felt particularly grateful for the preser vation of his eyes, which came off unhurt. MR. NOBLER asked to what it was considered attribut able that the eyes had escaped ?—The boy replied. that it was owing no doubt to the accident that he had just before put coals on the fire, and his eyes when he dashed into it came in contact with the fresh coals. Mr. HOBLER asked him whether he still thought of the sea ?—The boy replied that he was anxious to re- turn to the business. He was in good health, and cared little about being disfigued, as it was no fault of his. Mr. HoneEn desired that the poor lad should be taken care of in - the Hospital until the case should reach the ears of some of the friends of humanity. WORSHIP-STREET. John Tucker, a stylishly-dressed person, who stated that he was a solicitor's clerk, was charged with having assaulted Harriet Holland, a comely and modest-looking girl, 16 years of age. The complainant stated that she was in the service of a gentleman named Andrews, who resided in Cumber land-street, Hackney-road. On the preceding day she attended her master and mistress to the house of one of her friends in the City, and in the evening they sent her home before them to make some domestic preparations. As she was passing through Cheapside she was accosted by the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to her, and who informed her that he intended to spend the evening at the Britannia Saloon, Hoxtoa, and invited her to tic ' company him. She refused to do so, and repelled his advances, but he continued to annoy her, and asked her to drink gin with him at different public-houses. He afterwards followed her to her master's house, and she escaped from his importunities with great difficulty. The complainant's master stated that on reaching home he found the prisoner in his front garden, and on asking what he wanted, there the prisoner walked away without making any reply. The complainant, who was in tears, and excessively agitated, opened the door, and informed him that she had been insulted, upon which be followed the prisoner and gave him into custody. Upon being asked if he wished to say anything, the prisoner admitted having kissed the complainant, but denied that he assaulted her in any other manner. He complained that after he was locked up the police refused to allow him an opportunity of communicating with his friends, or of apprising "his wife " of his situation. Mr. BROUGHTON ordered him to pay a fine of 505., or to be imprisoned for two months in the House of Correction. LUCKY DREAM.—The form of the small shot used by sportsmen are exactly spheroidal. The manner in which this advantage is secured is highly ingenious. It is said that a Mr. Watt, a native of Bristol, and a plumber by trade, had a dream, in which he saw the whole contrivance. A person appeared before him on the top of a high tower, with a sieve in one hand, and a ladle of melted lead in the other • the lead was poured into the sieve, which lie shook violently, and the liquid metal fell in drops like rain to the floor of the tower ; but in its fall had recovered its solidified state. The imaginary person then descended from the tower, and examined some of the shot ; and among them Watt saw everal that were not, either pettectly round, or had tails to them. To separate these from the others, the man removed the shot to an inclim.d plane ; those that were round ran down the plank, while those that were mis shapen wriggled over the side. A perfect separation was thus effected. 'This was a lucky dream for Watt, as he s o ld hi s p a t ent roi• 10,000/. ; and a similar inethod is still employed by manufacturers.—Experi mental Philosopher. A lad of only twelve or thirteen years of age was returning, a few evenings ago, from Rheims to Vieux, with a cart, and carrying a good sum of money in a belt round his person, he was stopped by three rob bers, who demanded his money, and, on his refusing to give it, threatened to put him under the wheel of his cart. " Do," said the boy, " but you shall not have my money." They proceeded to carry their threat into exe cution, the b o y in the mean time calling in vain upon his dog to assist him. The robbers alarmed, lest while the boy resisted they should be discovered, at length left hire. On his return home with his money the boy gave it to his father, and then taking his gun shot the dog, which had returned before him, observing to his father that the animal was a coward and a traitor. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1841 '1 PARIS CORRECTIONAL POLICE It was three o'clock in the afternoon, the rain fell in torrents, there was no possibility of the petit pierl mignon of a pretty woman trusting itself to the pe'rilous navigation of the streets ; equally impossible was it to adventure the gossamer textures of a graceful, light, and fashionable toilet in the teeth of a weather the most brutally intemperate, the least gallaut and considerate in the world. To remain at home was, alas! inevita ble ; and, at the very hour when fashion sanctions the promenade of elegasit Parisians, the fairest dames of the Chaussee d'Antin were compelled to remain stretch ed at full length - on a rasesseuse, and seek in the demi sommeil of the boudoir, or the profoundly lethargic perusal of the last new novel, oblivion of the horrid weather and the enjoyments which it rendered impos sible. Such was the resolution taken on one of those unnatural days which have upset the seasons of late by a charming young widow, net yet ads anced beyond her 20th year, as in Ler own eyes, and the re flection of her mirror, she looked the fairestflower tha adorned her elegant boudoir in the Rue Ilauteville. Too young to has e recourse to vapours, megrims, or books of piety, when the sky was thick and overcast, the genlille widow took refuge, from the assaults of the demon ennui, in a languid Oriental siesta, and a new romance. which had become with much complaisance iin accomplice in the designs of Morpheus, had fallen on the carpet :rom the rose-tipped fingers of the belle doemense. She had slept thus for about half an hour, when a young and pretty so hbrette (none else figure in ro mances or police reports) get,tly opened the door, and penetrated noon the extremities of her toes, like Mademoiselle Taglioni in La Sylphide, into the in terior of the boudoir.; the rustling of her garments was sufficient to awaken the exquisitively sensitive mistress, " You were sleeping, Madame ?" " What is it you want, Annette?" " A gentleman, Madame. wishes to speak to you." " A genilman ? Do I know him ?" " I don't think you do, Madame. He calls hi m self Monsieur Caesar, and says that he has an affair of the utmost importance to communicate to you." "Is he young?" " From seven-and-tsenty to thirty years old, sports primrose kids, rather a fine figure—" " Show him in." While the soubrette proceeded to announce to the visitor that he had permission to present himself to the mistress of the mansion, the buxom widow threw a rapid glance at the mirror before her, drew her 'morning gown jauntily over her shoulders, retouched her auburn ringlets, and soon appeared sufficiently sitisficd with herself to dare to expose her person to the inquisitive looks of a stranger. At last she assumed a graceful pose on the divan, and exclaimed " Failes entree." A gentleman dressed in the most outrageous stela of fashion, cravatted, pinched up, ringleted, and perfumed, entered the boudoir with something of an embarrassed air, saluted the 14cly with the most profound respect, and expressed himself in these terms :—" I cannot be deceived, Madame, it was certainly you that I had the honour of seeing yesterday in the Tuilleries garden"— " Monsieur, en efet, I was yesterday at the Tuilleries? hut may I ask —?" " I was perfectly certain I was not mistaken. It is impossible, ti.ough one should have seen it but for a moment, to forget that enchanting grace, that"--" Pardon me, Monsieur, it is surely cot for the purpose of paying compliments tiiat you have taken the trouble to"--" No, Madame, it is a genuine service that I am about to render you." " A moi, Monsieur ?" " Did you lose no thing yesterday in the course of your promenade ?" Ido not think it." " Pardonnez moi, you lost this charming little beast." With these words the strange gentleman drew from his coat pocket a very pretty little white poodle, with a long silken coat, a love of a little darling. and a true chien de Marquise. "Monsieur," said the lady, though her teeth watered the while, " you are deceived ; this dog does not be long to me." "Eh Neu ! Madame, he belongs to you from this moment, if you will only permit me to do you the homage of presenting him to you." " You are too good, Sir. Not having the honour of your acquain tance, I cannot think--" " Madame, it depends only on yourself whether I shall have the felicity of being known to you ; if you should but deign to authorize my occasional visits " " Monsieur,"taid the young widow, rising with a pretty pout, " your visit and your request are both extremely singular ; I trust that this pleasantry may not be further prolonged." The lady rang for ber femme de "chambre, who straightway appeared, having probably taken liberties with the key-bole, and ordered her to show Monsieur Caesar to the street-door. The latter, however, burn ing with shame, and irritated by his discomfiture, was very far from being zealous in yielding obedience to the lady's orders. " Madame," he exclaimed, throwing himself on his knees, a l'Opera Comipe, "pardon a ruse, which was dictated by tht most violent love, the most sincere affection. For many a long month I have adored you, and to secure the happiness of being but for a few moments in your presence, l have conceived the plan of offering you this charming little dog. Oh, for the love of --, do not refuse him !" The offended widow repeated her command to the gentleman to quit her apartments, and carry his " nasty beast" with him. Words were exchanged between them with some vivacity, and with not a little spite. Tha dog took part in the quarrel, and began to hark with an importunate zeal, which provoked the lady to such a degree, that she presently invited him, with her mignon foot, to pats to the other side of the door. But the spunky little annimal, turning round upon her in wrath, recklessly attacked her debonnaire person, and speedily made his escape, carrying with him a conside rable fragment of her exquisite robe of mousseline de laine. M. Caesar followed his dog, and the soubrette followed Caesar, lustily insisting on being paid the price of her mistress's " ruined robe." The affair came at last before the correctional tri bunal. Monsieur Ccesar's defence was curious. He alleged that his reason for not paying the price of the robe was that he was desirous of being " pulled up" for the exnress purpose of seeing once more the inhuman fair. Proud as his Roman namesake, the defendant volunteered to pay for a whole wardrobe, and even to give both his hand and his name to his fair antagonist. But the latter repulsed with cold disdain the advances of a man who condescended to take his seat on the de fendant's bench of a public tribunal. The unfortunate M. Caesar was himself condemned to 25 francs damages and 25 francs costs, as well for violating his neighbour's domicile a; for being an accom plice in the degradation of her garments. Having de• posited his rouleau of 5 franc pieces with an air, he announced his determination of registering an appeal against the judgment of the Court, not because he considered it too severe, but solely to have the happi ness of one more peep at the cruel widow in the Cour Royale. STEAM COACHES ON COMMON ROADS. On Monday afternoon a steam coach, belonging to Mr. Hills, proprietor of the Chemical Works at Dept ford, and which has for some time past been running on the Kentish roads, took a trip to Seven Oaks. The steam coach in question is 16 feet in length, weighs about four tons, and has two engines, each of six-horse power. The cylinders are 10 inches in diameter, with 18 inches stroke, and the engine works at between 601bs. and 701bs. to the square inch. At thirty-one mi nutes atter one o'clock the steam was announced to be " up," and Mr. Hills, wbo manarred the machine, pro ceeded to thread the mazy ins and outs which lead from his factory to the Deptford main road, stopping, start ing, and guiding the vehicle with great precision and facility. In consequence of the numerous vehicles pass ing to and fro, the rate was necessarily very slow until the coach passed the Eltham-road (a little beyond the five mile stone), which it did at seventeen minutes before two o'clock, when the steam was put on, and the rate increased to about fifteen miles per-hour. At Bromley Common and the Polhill Arms, where Mr. Hills has stations, water was taken in, a stoppage of about two minutes being made at each place, and at eight minutes past three o'clock the coach arrived at Seven Oaks, making the journey, about twenty miles, in one hour and thi rty - seven minutes, stoppages in cluded. At seventeen minutes after three o'clock the coach started on its return for Mr. Hills' factory at Deptford, which - it reached at twelve minutes be fore five o'clock, making the return journey in one hour and thirty-one minutes. This line of road, it will be recollected, presents many very heavy hills, some of which have, it is stated, a rise of one foot in ten. In ascending these hills, which it did at the rate of from six to twelve miles per hour, the coach came thrice to a dead stop. The first of these stoppages took place at the short but sharp ascent which commences immediately after leaving Greenwich hill for Lewisham, the second in ascending Seven Oaks hill, and the third (in returning) at the abrupt ascent which presents itself at the diverging of the Lewisham road towards Greenwich-hill. Neither of the stop pages exceeded two minntes, and they were stated to have been occasioned by the imperfect working of one of the pumps, and the consequent insufficiency of water, in the boiler. The speed was, on some portions of the level road, upwards of 21 miles per hour, and the only apparent difficulty was where the ascents presented a loose sandy soil. The consumption of coke is a ton per 100 miles, and the cost of a steam-coach of this de cription was stated to be 8001. Sin R. PEEL'S TAILS.—At a dinner of Mr. Georgo Byng the other day, Sir Thomas Wilde made the following observations :—Sir Robert Peel and his party were very fond of taunting the late Ministry upon the subject of its tail, but had the Right Hon. Baronet no tail ? He had scveral. He had an Orange tail, a tim ber tail—(A laugh) —a corn tail, and a sugar tail—(A laugh)—and in crossing to the Treasury benches, the different tails wagged most g loriously.—(A laugh.) They had heard of the story of the man•who advertised for show a horse with his tail where his head should be.—(A laugh.) The wag had reversed the usual posi tion of his horse in the stable, and had placed him with his tail to the manger.—(A laugh.) It appeared to him that the tail of Sir Robert Peel was too powerful for him, and would soon, also, get to the manger in spite.of them.—(A laugh.) R ÜBENS' ALLEGORIES. As every circumstance having reference to the name of this great artist snug be deeply interesting, we offer t short description of a work in which have been pre. -served, by a series of engravings, some temporary de .igns by Rubens, which, but for this method of preser vation, had been lost after the occasion had been served for which they were executed. It has been supposed chat but ore copy of this work existed in England, and that in the British Museum. We have been invited, however, to inspect a second, which appears in a more perfect condition than that in the library of the Mu seum, inasmuch as the plates and the letter-press of the latter are inconveniently separated, and bound in two volumes. The letter-press is in Latin, and from the pen of Gevartius, who, in the title of the book . , has taken up for himself a position in the foreground ; re lieving himself, as it were, by a passing mention of Peter Pacl Rubens, to whom much of the honour was due ; and not even mentioning tl.e engraver, Tbutlen, whose merits, considering the state of his art at the time which he lived, were greater than those of C3sperius G, vartius. The title is curious ; and as it describes characteristically the purpose of the designs, is extracted at length : . . . " Pompa introitus honori serenissimi Principis Austrioci Hispaniarum Infantis S.R.E. Cara Belgarvum et Burg - undionum Gubernatoris, etc., A.S. P.Q. AntVerp. decreta et adornata ; cum mox a nobiliss ima ad Norlingan parta victoria, Antverpian auspicatis simi aduento suo bearet, XV. Kal. Maii, Ann. CID. IDD. XXXV. Arcus, pegmata, Iconesq a Pet.

C. et Archgrammatceus Antverpia nits Lauren Calm= eodum auctore Descripta Antverp, etc. That particular copy of this rare work, which is the suiject of this notice, is in the possession of Mr. Hil ton, of No. 8, Penton•street, Pentonville, and has been the property of Sir James Thornhill, whose autograph, with the date, 1724, appears upon the title-page. The size of the work is a large folio, and the plates are forty-six in number ; aad, as being executed by one hand, must have been in progress during a series of years ; indeed, this is evidenced by the different dates affixed to them. In all Rubens' allegorical works his alphabet is peculiarly his own, no less than that extraordinary power which emOsled him with such fa cility, and with his own so 'ztecasgly marked ma terial, to frame epic histories in such variety, and yet so pertinent to a proposed subject. W e have, as usual, throughout these plates the same fair haired lady whom Rubens has so often celebrated urea canvass, both as mortal and goddess ; and the same little boys whom he loved so much to paint, that, not conteht with occasionally introducing them into works like these, he went so far as to form a wreath of them in a picture which is contained in the Louvre. Each of these designs, as may be expected, proclaims the honour and glory of those whom Gervartius has termed the " Austrian Csesars." The compliments they contain are extravagant and fulsome, considering the merits of the man whose triumphs they were intended to illus trate; but this was not the fault of Ruben!, who, when once at work, could not help following out the promptings of his enthusiasm, despite the meagre virtues of the person complimented. There are accordingly representations of the homage of the earth and the ocean; in which the hand of the Artist is distinguishable not only in the manner, but by per fect repetitions of figures, found in his other works ; for instance, " A Cybele" is the same as that in his picture, " The Horrors of War," at Florence. They have in Antwerp a particular method of giving effect to designs of this kind. The triumphal arches are constructed of a wooden framework, over which is stretched cloth, painted so as exactly to imitate stone : and in this manner was the commemoration of Rubens celebrated last year, but the designs upon this occasion were altogether unworthy of the festival. One word of Thulden's engraving ; some of the heads in these prints are executed in a manner that woul.l do honour to any engraver of modern times ; the style is free— prec:sely such as the drawing has been, but every line is true and effective. Notwithstanding the continued importation of rarities of every description from the Continent. this work is undoubtedly scares in Eng land ; but, notwithstanding this, modern artists have found means to avail themselves of its contents, by appropriating them with very little modification.— Art- Union. ROB ROY'S GRAVE. It is seldom now-a-days that we hear of the sepul chres of the dead being violated ; but a casts of a pe culiar kind lately occurred in the remote parish of Bal quhidder. One morning, about three weeks ago, the peaceful inhabitants of that beautiful place vvere shocked at finding that the parish butial-ground had been dese crated during the previous night by some miscreants, and that the grave of the famous " Rob Roy" had been violated. Many of our readers will recollect that the grave of the celebrated outlaw is situated near the cast end of the church. A large stone, of rather un chiselled aspect, and having a broadsvvord, a star, and other insignia, rudely carved on it, covers Rob's resting place. This stone, which, from its weight. must have required the united strength of at least two persons to displace it, had been removed, and the earth Jigged up to the depth of some three or four feet. The motive for committing so gross an outrage is supposed to have been the desire of possessing the bone , , or rather some relics of the bones, of the celebrated outlaw—whose name and deeds the Novelist has so widely published. If such were the motive, the spoliators have undoubtedly been 6efeatea in their olject ; for, independent of the decay which the lapse of time must have wrought on the skull and thigh, and arm-bones of their once muscular owner, several other M'Gregors have since been interred in the same narrow house, and one so lately as eight years ago. Thus the ashes of various KGregors have mingled with those of their famous clansman ; and he must be both a curious and skilful antiquary and anato mist who can now speak to any of the stolen scraps as veritable relics of the . redoubted outlaw. Meanwhile?, the possessors of any such would better be cautious how they declare the fact, else they may find that these compound M‘Geegor relics will tell a tale against them which they little expect. The clergyman of the parish, so soon as the circumstances became known, sent in formation to a neighbouring Justice of the Peace ; and we understand that the proper authorities have made an investigation into the whole circumstances of the case.—Slirling Journal. PRESBYTERY OF DALKEITii. This Presbytery met on Tuesday last. During the sederunt Mr. Peterkin gave in a paper, entitled " Sche dule of Intimation, Requisition, and Protest,—the Rev. Thomas Wright against the Presbytery of Dalkeith, 1841," and signed by S. Mackay Frazer and Alex ander Peterkin, Notary Public. This paper having been read, was found to be a protest that the said Mr. Wright's deposition, and the whole grounds and pro ceedings whereon it is said to be founded, are illegal, null, and void ; and that the Presbytery, collectively and individually, shall be found liable to him in all cost, sitAith,* damage, and expense, should they proceed to take any steps whatever for fillies; up the cure and benefice of the parish of Borthwick, whereby the vested rights and in terests of the said Mr. Wright may be in any way injured or affected. The Presbytery, being about to make their final arrangements for the settlement of the parish of Borthwick, by the induction of the Rev. James Smith, 01 Chalmers' Church, Glasgow, requested tlieir clerk to read extract minutes of the Presbytery of Glasgow, in which the Glasgow Presbytery agree to the translation of Mr. Smith. All the circumstances of the case having been carefully considered by the Pres bytery, Mr. Mackenzie moved, that the Presbytery, having taken into consideration — the schedule of intimation, requisition, and protest. resolve that the induction shall take place on Friday the 24th day of September next, at twelve o'clock noon ; and that the edict shall be served on Sabbath firtt the 12th current, it being understood that Mr. Smith shall be furnished with a copy of the minutes of Presby tery relative to this matter, and of the schedule, that he may determine on the course of conduct which he ma y think fit to adopt in this business. Mr. Adamson seconded this motion. Mr. Veitch proposed a second motion, that the Presbytery, having taken into consi deration the schedule of intimation, requisition, and protest, delay further procedure till a copy of this minute shall have been transmitted to Mr. Smith, that he may have an opportunity of expressing what lire of conduct he means to pursue at their next ordinary meeting. Mr. Beveridge seconded this motion. Mr. Pitcairn made a third motion, that this matter be re ferred to the Commission of the General Assembly. This motion was not seconded ; whereupon the Pres bytery agree i that the first and second motions should he put against each other, when the second motion a% as carried by a majority of six to five.—Edinburgh Paper. Yesterday morning, a number of .the most blas phemous placards that ever disgraced the walls of a city, were posted up throughout our streets, around which :;•ro.ips of the citizens gathered to read and shudder. The bill (which bore the imprint of a printing firm in extensive jobbing business) contained the following an nouncement :—" Important discussions and lectures in the Hall of Science, 155, Trougate.—On Wednesday evening, 15th Sept., a discussion will be held on the fol lowing important question : Whether the character of Jesus Christ or the character of Robert Owen is most entitled to the consideration and respect.of mankind. To commence at half-past eight. Admission, to defray expenses, id. each." The placard afterwards announced that on Sunday the 12th September (yesterday), a Rev. Robert Buchanan would contrast' the Mosaic account of the creation with the inductions of modern science. The placard. which must have been posted up during the night, was pulled down by the police so soon as their attention was called to the fact.—G/usgow Paper. The farmers round Paris are busily engaged in digging up their'Potatoe crops. The roots are said to be extraordinarily large and abundant. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London New Price Current of September 14.) UGAR.—The Market for British Plantation Sugar has presented a more lively appearance since our last report. For both grocery and refining p.,rposes a good demand has existed. There has been no public sale. There have been several arrivals during the past week, still the quantity received is not equal to that of last yerr during the same time. The Gazette price is 24s lower than at this period in 1840. The letters received by the West India packet yesterday, state that the crops of all kinds of produce were progressing under the most favourable circumstances. To-day importers displayed firmness, and a steady demand existed for yellow and strong grey descriptions ; brown sorts were in fair request ; the private purchase amounted to 300 hhds and taw, and the rates established on Friday were fully supported. The market has de cidedly assumed a more lively appearance ; of good and fine yellow sorts the supply is not adequate to the de mand. There was no public sale of Baroadoes. The stock of British Plantation Sugar is now 22,137 hhds and trcs, which is 3,321 more than last year at the same period. The stock of M auritius is 93,377 bags, being 77,751 more than last year. The stock of Bengal is 75,124 bags, which is 52,207 more than last year. The delivery of British Plantation Sugar for the last week was 1,678 hhds and trcs, being 163 less than during the same time last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 9,858 bags, which is 6.488 bags more than last year. The delivery of Bengal was 7,767 bags, being 5,575 more than during the corresponding week last year. REFINED.—There has been a good demand for Re fined goods for home consumption, and rather high rates have been paid, excepting for the lowest qualities, upon which no improvement can be quoted ; Standard Lumps in large parcels have been disposed of at 81s, Tittlers and Hanaburgh Loaves common 79s to 81s, good 82s to 87s, fine 88s to 98s, very fine 99s to 103, low brown lumps 75s to 765, good and fine 77s to 79s per cwt, upon which terms many purchases have been made for delivery, prices being con sidered moderate by most of the trade. For Treacle there has been a large demand, and prices are firm. Common has been disposed of at 26s to 26s 6d, Patent, ord 27s to 295, best 30s to 325, Golden Syrup 33s to 33s Gd per cwt ; low sorts have been the most in request. Bastards have met with a dull demand, and prices con tinue on the decline ; sales of common made at 40s to 445, middling 45s to 475, good 48s to 50s, fine 51s to 53s per cwt. Pieces however have been in good request, fine 68s to 745, middling and good 6ls to 675, ordinary 5Gs to 60s per cwt. The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar has been in a quiet state, and for small par cels 29s 9d to 30s have been , accepted for the first quality. Loaves have met with a dull demand, and prices arc on the decline, 101bs have been selling at 33s to 33s 6d, and 141bs 32s to 325 6d. Treacle ihas been in brisk request at 13s 3d. Pieces have moved off slowly at 16s to 19s. Bastards have met with a dull sale, com • mon at 12s to 13s, good 14s to 15s. In Dutch Crushed several purchases have been made on board at 27s 3d per cwt. To-day there was excellent demand for Refined goods from the Home Trade, and prices further advanced Is per cwt. Sales of standard lumps were made at 81s 6d and 82s, low to fine brown Lumps 77s to 80s. Bastards are in better request at the rates quoted above ; Pieces in good demand at full prices. For Treacle the demand is brisk at 26s to 33s 6d. Bonded Crushed Sugar was taken sparingly, but sales cannot generally be made under 30s per cwt for fine qualities ; for large parcels, however, 29s 6d would be taken. _ _ Mauarrius.—This afternoon there were several public sales. The total quantity offered amounted to 9,412 bars 11 casks, at which the trade evinced a better desire to op rate, and nearly the whole sold with fair spirit, at prices 6d above those of the last auction for bright yellow and grey sorts ; but for brown and low yellqw kinds Im porters can:only obtain former rates. Fine yellow sold at 62s to 68s 6d, good 58s to 61s, mid to good mid 53s to 575, low 51s to 52s 6d, low brown 37s to 40s, mid to fine 42s to 50s, ord to fine grey 52s to 66s per cwt. MOLASSES.—The stock of West India being large, holders are desirous to realise, and have submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt.; but the demand has been limited, and the purchases confined to 180 puns.; Antigua, fine at 27s to 27s 6d, good 265; St. Vincents, fair 23s 6d; Nevis 21 s. In Foreign, sales have been made at Gs 9d to 7s per cwt. EAST INDlA.—White Bengal has been sought after, and purchases to a fair extent have been made privately by the grocers at full rates ; importers have supplied the market sparingly ; brown sorts are however still difficult of sale, and prices remain low. At auction 2,597 bags were only partly disposed of, low brown at 36s to 425, middling 43s to 44s per cwt. There have been several arrivals since this day week. Manilla has met with less attention. • This afternoon Bengal met with a good demand ; at auction 5,545 bags 336 chests were offered ; white sorts all sold at ad advance, but brown only partly found buyers; fine white went at 69s Gd to 71s, good mid and good 65s to 675, mid and low mid 60s to 635, low to good yellow 53s to 58s 6d, low brown 38s to 40s, mid to to fine 43s to 50s per cwt. FORElGN.—Although the accounts from the Continent are favourable for Foreign Sugar, yet the market here was inactive to-day, t.nd privately few purchases were made in any kind, but prices were supported. Several public sales are advertised. COFFEE.—The West India Coffee market has been in a quiet state since this clay week, the trade purchasing sparingly of all descriptions ; prices have declined 3s to Os for ordinary, to fine ordinary sorts, but on mid dling the reduction has amounted to only 2s, the quantity of such offered having been small. At auction 390 casks, 162 barrels and bap, mostly Jamaica, have been offered, at which the biddings were languid, especially for the lower 'sorts—the principal part, however, found buyers ; Jamaica low mid went at 99s to 106 6d, mid 107 s to 117 s, good mid 119 s to 1265, good ord to fine ord 68s to 97s 6d, ord 52s 6d to 63s Triage 35s to 455, Dominica fine to fine ord 76s to 90s, Demerara good to fine ordinary 57s to 63s per cwt. The arrivals have been to a fair extent since this day week. For public sale on Thursday 200 casks, &c., are declared. The stock is 892 casks, 953 barrels and bags less than last year at :his time, but the accounts are favourable for the crops. The demand for Java has been limited by private treaty. Java has met with a duly demand privately, and some small parcels have been sold - 3s to 4s under previous rates. Mocha has been scarcely inquired for, and it is difficult to quote prices. Common East India sorts continue on the decline, and are now 4s lower than they were two weeks hack ; still buyers are cautious in their, proceed ings, and privately few sales have been made, ,but the Padang taken in last Tuesday at auction, viz. good ord at 38s to 40s, has since been sold, at 39s per cwt. At public sale 2,500 bags East India were offered, good ordinary brownish Padang sold at 385 to 395; Java good ordinary yellowish at 54s to 58s, ordinary and fair ord 49s 6d to 525, and fine ord Semarang 48s per cwt: the stock of East India and Cape sorts is 90,000 bags Treater than in 1840 at this time. This afternoon the home trade operated with cau tion by private treaty, and the market both for East and West India descriptions presented a dull appear ance; the small parcels sold were rather under the rates previously established. No public sale ; but some large parcels are declared for this week. In Foreign there was little passing by private contract, at auction 1,869 bags Havannah were all taken in at full rates, viz., fine ord colour) , at at 57s to 60s, fine ord 54s to 565, but the principal part was at 58s ; a few lots damaged were how ever sold at 45s to 55s per cwt. The large public sales of Coffee in Holland have gone off with spirit, and all offered has been actually disposed or at full rates, indeed coloury sorts have realised stiffer prices._ . . _ - TEA.—The market has been i n a d u ll and unsettled state since our last report. Several holders of Free Ti•ade have been desirous to realise, and have submitted to a re duction on former rates of 2d per Ib, still both town and country dealers have operated with much caution in both black and green descriptions; for low common Con gou cash is 8W accepted, Is 9d to is 10d for fair and good ordinary, ts told to is lld for fair blackish leaf, is 111 d to 2s 2id for middling to good strong blackish Teat; and is 9d to is 9id for ord Twankay. In the speculative market there has been little life, and Com pany's Congou has declined to Is 9,id cash. Yesterday, however, there was an improved demand for Free Trade Tea, some parties being disposed to get in stock, and several hundred chests of Congou were disposed of at Is 9id to is 10d for fair and good common quality for cash, and ordinary cannot now be had under Is 91c1 per lb, being rather higher ; in Twankay some purchases were made at full rates. Company's Congou sold more freely at stiffer rates ; sales on 'Change were made at is. 9.id. cash. There has been no public sale, and none is declared at present. The arrivals since our last report have been 24,000 p k g s. The deliveries at this port during the past week have been 355,000 lb s . Th e s tock of Company's Congou is 17,000 pk gs . Th e ship ments of Tea from China this season have been less than they were last season : the stock here is 14,000,000 lbs less'lran it was in 1340 at this time : the price of Tea is 6cl to 7d per lb lower than last year at this time.
