SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM( THE DAILY PAPERS OF YFSTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—Lord Melbourne announced in the House of Lords last night, the resignation of himself and colleagues ; the acceptance of that resignation by her Majesty, and their continuance to hold their offices till their successors were appointed. No man iiehes better than Lord Melbourne what the occasion demands; and in confining himself to the bare fact he evinced his usual tact and Judgment. A change in the Aelministra tion of a mighty empire is an important event ; but it is important 'with reference to the interests of the people ; and as such a change• implies either a departure from the system on which the Government is conducted, or a more factious struggle for place ; there is always a danger, lest, on the one hand, warmth of manner should be attributed to personal disappointment, and, on the other, lest moderation towards op ponents should be mistaken for indifference to wards the nation, of which the welfare is at stake. The termination of an Administration which be gan its career by the Reform Bill, and ended it by a measure of commercial freedom, is no ordinary event. That Administration forms an important section in the history of this empire. We will not allow ourselves to indulge in gloomy anticipations, because we do not be lieve that any Administration can repress the indomit able energies of the nation, or change its ultimate des tiny ; but still the substitution of a Tory Government for one of which the mhsion was institutional and admi nistrative Reform, cannot be contemplated with indiffe rence by any well-constituted mind. It is a temporary triumph of the evil principle. Its tendency is to throw (limp on the exertions of those who have the inte rests of the millions at heart. That the intentions of the departed Ministry were, from first to last, jaottest toe arls the millions, will be allowed with ("AU hesitation, even by those who may think that a / notes decided course might have better ena bled thole' to realize their intentions. But then the parity of their intentions drew on them the hostility of the party by which they have at last been vanquished. Their principal mistake lay in supposing that concilia tory conduet ,towards their - opponents might disarm their opposition. A party banded together by selfish motives :sea to be disarmed by rigour rather than conciliation. iikt into this wide field we will not now enter. One im toortanc fact characteristic of the late Ministry and their 4-oonents we cannot help noticing. The late Ministry co / moan:led a majority in the House of - Commons tilt they evinced it determination to prefer the weltere of the p eo ple es the citizus of moaopolists—till, in the behalf of the people, they heaved the all-powerful class of land owners. We do not weafier that some of those who once four...lit side by side with the departed Ministry. should, their triumph, feel . the alloy of some uneasy reminiseenees. Lord Stanley's speech affords, we think, unequivocal evidence that his Lordship already begins to ?eta thus he is in bad company. ilMii:esh---The circumstance of none of the Conserva tive leaders haeth o e. spoken in the recent debate except Mr. efoulhurn and Sir Robert Peel, and the former of these geetleraen having risen only on the spur of the moment to expose the financial fallacies of the late Chancellor of the Exelicquee, while Sir Robert Peel confined himself principally to a statement of the views with win ho is himself about to enter office—these favourable circumstances enabled Lord John Russell to make a:plausible speech, in which he affected to com plain that the IThige were condemned without having ale articles Of impeachment against them produced. The aimple reply is; that the Conservatives did not wish to re-open all the details of a question which was fully ar gued ire the last Parliament. When a prisoner, who has been fitund guilty; after a Long and patient investigation,. is bronght up for judgment, it is not customary in Bri tish courts of justice to go through the Whale proces ver Z?4l of the .rial astecond time. It would have . been more etppropriate, and Tar more seasonable,. it Lord John Ens soil had taken the - opportunity Whic was offered him three months since to make his defenee - before the coun try returned its verdict. This, however, does not ap peer to have been his own view of the case. He reserved the cat-elope of Whig successes w:+ 1 1 vrleiell he enter tained the House of Commons on SaturtLy 11140613 g for a last dying speech and confession—a funti7 4l 41.)Vur h:ti daparting Government. He was disposa:7 like t 7; it 'Vauxhall rocket, to go off in a blaze. We suspect, however, that the country will be but little dazzled by the exhilfition. It may puzzle and amuse people for a few brief moments to hear men drummed out of a regi ment to the tune of " See, the Conquering Hero comes," but we daubt much whether there is any one whose rela tive notions of success and failure will be at all altered by thh phenomenon. ADVERnsER.—RoyaI Addresses are commonly re markable only fur their vague generalities, and shallow rand unmeaning tautologies ; but her Majesty, on open ing the present Session, threw off the consecrated gar ment of mysticism, and for once spoke to the hearts, as - vvell as to the understandings, of. her people. Her lan guage on the subject of fiscal reform was plain, simple, and intelligent, conveying her determination to direct the light of inquiry to one of the most enormous evils ever tolerated in an enlightened country—that of imPo- Etic and partial taxation. We have already laid before our readers the several items representing the aggregate :amount of our taxation, and from them they may form awhile conception of its magnitude and importance. But ,lie cardinal error and evil of the existing system, as the inequality of its pressure on the several el:tasts of society. The amount of the burden, heavy as it is, would be but a comparatively small grievance, did it rest chiefly upon those who have strength to sus tain it. If the seventy millions, which constitute the Government and local taxes were assessed upon the leeoperty of the country—as reason and justice suggest mist they should be, and not, as now, in defiance of every quitable principle, upon its industry, or, more properly ameaking, upon the fund required for the subsistence of the popehthon—the consequences resulting from even a profligate ecale of expenditure would be scarcely notice able, because almost wholly unfelt. But very alifferent is the present system, the evils of which :are, as we hare already said, almost innumerable. At each successive step of an inquiry into its details, some new grievance, operating most injuriously to the public interests, and pressing with almost intolerable severity upon the weaker classes, is discovered, and ex cites wonder at-the folly or wickedness by which it was devised, and is still kept in existence. We could have wished that her Majesty's Address had taken a broader and more statesman-like view of the question, not con fining itself to any one detail of the system, but boldly *Erect:llg attention to it as a whole ; for, assuredly, no 'ene part of it can be revised, in any important degree, 'ithout involving the necessity of a thorough reform of Use whole. But however far the Royal Speech may have fallen short of our desires in this respect, we cannot fail to recognize in it the admission of a sound prin. sciple of fiscal economy. POST.—When the Whig Ministers advised the dis solaeion of Parliament, they either expected to obtain a consiaorable accession of strength in the House of Com mons, or they did not. If they did expect such a result the fact indicates such ignorance of the state of political feeling among the electors, and such vain unfounded con fidencejn the popular regard for the Whig Government, as prove; the unfitness of these Ministers for the offices which they held. Under the present constitution of this .country no man deserves to hold office who is ignorant of the state of public feeling, or deceived as to its pro bable bearing in the event of a general election. On the other hand, if Ministers did not expect an accession of streugth by the election of a new Parliament, the object in dissolving must have been to prevent a dissolution un der the Conservative Government, which they saw to be inevitable. The object must have been to gain for the purposes of the Opposition, certain seats which are tolerably well understood to be obtained by the in lluence of the Government. If this be so, the managers who are capable of such a trick well deserve all the ill luck which could befal them. The unexpectedly large ma jority against them was a just rebuke against such official perfidy. Bit whatever the true theory of the recent dis solution may be, and however vexatious its results may be to the Whig-Radical party, we cannot but look upon it as a most fortunate circumstance for the Conservatives. jf Sir Robert Peel had taken the Government and con tinued the late House of Commons, he would have been eventing in that commanding strength which is so essen tial to the vigorous conduct of affairs. If he had taken the Government and then dissolved the House, his ma jority would in that case have been attributed to Govern ment influence, and not to the popular preference for Conservative principles and modes of Government. HERALD. —That portion of Sir Robert Peel's most .eloquent speech in advocacy of a general disarmament, irfull of the most useful truths and the highest thoughts of a great statesman. The eloquence of his language pure though it be, was poor indeed in co m p ar i son w i t h the eloquence of the thoughts and opinions it conveyed. In it he becaraa the advocate of the " hewersof wood and drawers of water" in every country in Europe. The Right Hon. Baronet pleaded fur the alleviation of suffer ing humanity in every European State. He held up to .:11lie lare o s a „ - ( 1 Legislatures the neglected secret in which the strength of nations really lies. He sternly rebuked ambition and military glory ; he feelingly pointed to the " tictories of peace " as the only conquests worth achieving. He irresistibly demonstrated that the advancement of one nation was not necessarily based sin the lowering or degradation of another, and boldly proclaimed to the world that while England, tinier his guidance, would submit to no insults or injuries, she would offer the right hand of fellowship to every State, whatever be the form of its Government or the faith of its people. These sentiments, as honourable to his heart as to ins head, must shortly render Sir Robert Peel as poplar throughout Europe as he now is in his own country ; they are wise and benevolent, without being time-serving and popularity-hunting. Will, then, the great Powers of Europe adopt and act on opinions so essential to their real interests ? Will they abandon the system gradually becoming intolerable, of adding tax to tea, of raising pile on pile of national debt an.l liability ? Is there to be no end of bu r d en i ng t h e people only for the purposes of blood and war ? These are the important questions Sir Robert Peel has put to Europ e A favourable answer depends on France. The responsi bility now resting on Louts Philip and his Minister, M. Guizot, is stupendous; the progress of humanity and the ndvancement of the material interests of the world are, to a considerable extent, in their hands. GLOBE.—The Conservatives are in high glee a and if we took a malicious pleasure in seeing them " enamoured of the fate" that is awaiting them, we should share in their boisterous merriment. Toryism is 'drunk with success, and in the excitement of its elevation does not see the post it is about to break its head against —or, perhaps, catching a glimpse of the obstacle in the way, intoxication makes it appear like two, when, in at tempting to pass adroitly between the shadows, it encounters the substance, and falls to the grsund with stunning violence. The two difficulties that Toryism is trying to avoid are Ireland and the Corn laws—both tolerably substantial impediments, by the way, but mere shadows in comparison with the real stumbling-block, which will consist in the lumpish obstinacy of a section of its ova body. Tho Weis of the party are in fact to heavy for the head ; and while sus j the latter turns and rolls about in all directions—now backwards, now forwards, now sideways, now up and now down—the lead-like immoveability of the former will render it impossible for the Conservative Ministry to advance, and therefore difficult to stand; for the game of obstruction must now he changed to that of action, which, if not accompanied by progress, must end in overthrow. Some of our tontemporarks are pleased to admire the equanimity, and even the high spirits, with which we anticipate the accession of our political adver saries :to the offices of Government. We confess that though we have exerted ourselves strongly to keep in power those who would have promoted the public good, now that the defeat has taken place, we contemplate with much composure the use the Tories are about to make of the abundance of rope that has been awarded them. If we have watched with interest the political drama, and been a little disappointed at the denoument, we will not be prevented from having a good laugh at the farce, in terlude, burlesque, or whatever else the Tory performers may contrive to make of the afterpiece. STANDARD.—Ministers last night formally an nounced to the two Houses of Parliament the fact of their resignation—Lord Melbourne in the House of Lords, Lord John Russell, in the House of Com mons. With no disposition whatever to carry politi cal hostility further than is necessary, we must re fuse to these announcements the praise of grace or dignity. Lord Melbourne's speech was dry and short—but short as it was he contrived to make it disrespectful to the noble assembly to which it was addressed. He told their Lordships that he and his colleagues had retired from office. "in consequence of the vote come to by the other House on Saturday morning last, which was preckelj similar in terms to the vote come to by their Lordships at an earl er pe riod of the week." This was saying pretty plainly that the Ministers would have paid no regard to the vote of the Upper House of Parliament if it had stood alone. Men may differ as to the necessity of Ministers possessing the confidence of both Houses of Parliament ; and, although we for ourselves think the spirit of the constitution violated by a Ministry retaining office without the confidence of both, we have seen an Administration hold office ten years in defiance of the House of Lords— still, though men may differ upon this point, all must agree that there was no neces sity to affront the Rouse of Lords by reminding them of their practical feebleness and degradation under Whig-Radical control : it was, to say the least of it, a proof of bad taste, and an unhapq testimony to Lord Melbourne's qualification for the office of daily political teacher to the Sovereign, which he is said to have exercised, in cemmen dam, with his duties as Prime Minister. Lord John Rus sell's speech was longer than Lord Melbourne's, and it was not less fortunate. The Noble Lord, to be sure, as the Morning Chronicle says, " appeared to speak under the influence of suppressed feeling, and was at times quite in audible in the gallery ;" and it would be unjust to criticise severely the words of a man labouring with subdued anxiety—more so, as they must be imperfectly reported. Still, some points of the speech have been rescued from uncertainty by the replies of Lord Stanley and Mr. Stuart Wortley ; and these points show that the speech was not framed with becoming candour or good humour. COURIER.—We should be little disposed to disturb the self-complacent delusions in which Lord John Rus sell indulged on winding sip the opening debate of the session, but that they involve matters of fact and history which may not lightly he taken for granted on the one side or silently conceded on the other. For if allowed to pass current for sterling truths, which they are not, it Would seem that the Government so reluctantly devolved at the eleventh hour upon the more Herculean shoulders of Sir Robert Peel should reitesent a bed of roses in Areaaian bowers, instead of the roughest couch of thorn and thistle' over which tempests are louring or bursting from abroad, whilst treasury insolvency and public distress, •the last will and testament of a Whig Govern ment, assail its :repose at home. Lord John, indeed, sagaciously interposed a slight cloud of qualification in the background, by way of relief, if not drawback, to the sunny splendours of the prosperous picture of Whig Administration with its results, on which he was engaged. " With respect," said he, " to all the operations of the late Government, which time had brought to a conclu sion, their policy has been successful." We have to learn, however, what are the special operations thus .. 4 t• to a conclusion. Are they to he found abroad on. ous career of Colonel Evans in Biscay and in the vict°l • 4- he tranquil and settled Governments Guipuzcoa ? U r in . of revolutionized Spain a.... Portugal ? Or in Turkey regenerated, i n Egypt submissive .4 her conqueror, and Syria rescued from b on d age under on, despot on in l.v the t be delivered over to hordes of petty tyrants? ;, United States, where a British subject languishes • irons; where boundary collisions fiercely threaten open war ; and where British fleets are gathering off un friendly coasts like dogs of war upon the slip ? There have been " operations" indeed brought to a head by time, which to a certain extent may be conceded to have been " successful." Such, for example, were the sup pression ,of Canadian rebellions and Chartist insur rections. MONEY MARKET anc76l' — fY NEWS FROM THE MOZNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The expectation in Mark-lane is that the averages of wheat returned next Thursday will give the price at least 71s. per quarter, and that consequently the duty on foreign wheat will fall from its present rate of 13s. Bd. to 6s. Bd. per quarter. This average will not, however, it is said, in any degree represent the present state of the corn-market, as it will have been struck principally on old wheats alone, while during the last few days the new wheat has been brought into the mar ket, and today in particular there was a plentiful sup ply. The new wheats, therefore, will scarcely be repre sented in the averages, which it is expected will lull shortly after their rise. For not only will the quantity of foreign corn taken out of bond, and the supply of home-grown wheats, conduce to this decline, but, as the latter will be of inferior quality, and less in weight will go to the bushel, there is an additional cause for a re duction in price. It is to remedy cases like this, when the value of the bushel varies according to the quality of the wheat, that the plan has been sometimes sug gested of taking the averages by weight instead of by measure, - but this has been considered impracticable from the trouble and delay that would attend the process. The American papers are all in their turn advocating the maintenance of "an efficient home squadron," such a one as they state would protect them against subjection, and allow them to keep pace with the improvements of England and France. The New Orleans papers received to-day broach the same subject, and, pursuing it with some ardour, say, "We trust the establishment of a home squadron is the first of a series of measures that the Whig Administration will maturely consider, in or der to establish a judicious systeM of national defence, While having in view especially the development of our maritime resources, and the completion of a naval arma ment consistent with the wants of our vast commerce and spacious seaboard." At New Orleans the yellow fever was, as usual in the months of July and August, taking off numbers of the inhabitants. The Money Market wa.4 quiet. The speculators in Texan paper currency would not pay the prices that had formerly ruled, premising that the loan would never be completed, and that if it was, no part would be made available to pay off the outstanding liabilities of the republic. CHRONICLE.—By the Hamburgh mail which ar rived this 'morning a favourable turn, it appears, had taken place in the exchange on London in that city on Friday last, the rates having advanced half a schilling, accompanied with a decline in gold of 1 mark. This favourable feature in the exchanges contributed to pro duce the advance in the Funds we have enticed above. It shows that the drain on the Bank has 'in the mean time subsided, and that money is likely to become easier by'the Directors relaxing their stringent action. on the currency. The Quebec papers of the 11th of August contain a copy of the first report made by' the Committee of the Legislative Assembly on the subject of the currency, according to the.recommendations of which a Bill had been introduced into the provincial legislature, which proposes that all Acts or parts of Acts relating to the value of gold, silver, and copper coin in Upper . and Lower Canada, or to the amount thereof respectively to be paid in payment of debts, and received as a legal tender, or in any manner relating to the currency, and contrary to the provisions of this Act, shall be and are repealed. It is then enacted that the pound currency shall be such, that the pound sterling, as represented by the Bri tish sovereign, of the weight and fineness now fixed by the laws of the - United Kingdom, shall be equal to, and such British sovereign shall be a legal tender for one pound four shillings and threepence currency. Nothing shall affect the meaning of the Words " sterling," or " sterling money. of Great Britaie," in past acts or con tracts ; but in any future law, contract, or agreement, the pound sterling shall have the value in currency as signed in this Act to the British sovereign. The eagl e o f the United States of A mer i ca , coined before the Ist of July, 1834, and weighing eleven pennyweights six grains (troy), shall pass and be a legal tender for two pounds thirteen shillings and fourpence currency ; and the eagle coined after the said day and before 1841, weigh ing ten pennyweights eighteen grains (troy), shall pass and be a legal tender for two pounds ten shillings. HERALD.—The Quebec Papers to the 12th instant, contain an account of the expenditure and estimated re venue of Canada for the year 1841. These tables are very satisfactory and place the resources of the colony in a favourable light. The sum required for the public service is 357,2581. Is. 7d. sterling, in which are included 5,7801. 4s. Bd. for defraying the expenses of forwarding emigrants to their destinations after arriving in the provinces ; 1,5001. on account of making a geological survey of the country, and 60,8801. 13s. I Id. for the in terest of the public debt. The income is set down at 383,39 e/. is. Id., of which the amount levied on im ports by sea is 181,5801. ; leaving a surplus of upwards of 26,00(1. Immigration was still on the increase, the official returns showing an excess over 1840 of 4,540, the number in that year being 19,074, and to th e 7 t h of AUgust, 1841, 23,614. Th quantity of flour and wheat exports from Canada to this country to the 10th of July was 271,154, bushels of the latter, and 155,223 barrels of the former. POST.—Money was again obtained upon the oma rantee of stock on very easy terms for limited periods. Tie Corn Market, as had been foreseen, was greatly depressed, the new English wheats brought for ward selling at a heavy reduction on the prices quoted this day week. The corn jobbers are always found so resist a coming decline with an obstinacy common to monopolists ; but the appearance of things to-day fur nished the surest evidence of the difficulty in which they have placed themselves by a too ready belief in the insufficiency of the home supply. The arrival at market of samples of new wheat, and the uninterrupted continuance of fine weather, must put an end to all apprehension fur the present sea son. Some thousand quarters will, no doubt, be imported, though probably not entered for consumption. Importation is usually going on upon a scale of magni tude varying according to circumstances, but this is, in itself no proof whatever of a positive deficiency in the mow: production of the native grower. Prices have been high on the Continent, and the parties . who may have ven tured on importations cannot fail, when their matters are brought to a practical issue, to realise immense losses upon them. With a fixed duty of Bs. per quarter, their case would have been evc,n worse, in consequence of the increased competition there would have been in the trade. A money panic and general discredit would have been the first fruits of the change, had the Govern ment scheme been carried, nor can it be questioned that the severest distress, commercial as well as agricultural, would have proved. the sequel.

It contains the following stipulations : "The treaty is concluded between Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Wirtemberg, Baden, the Grand Duchy and Electorate of Hesse, the States of Thuringia, Nassau, and Franliiiirt-on-the-Maine, for twelve years from the Ist January, 1842, to the 31st December, 1853, subject to the following modifications and additions : " The places of announcement on the inner frontiers of Baden, Bavaria, and Wirtemberg, towards the other States of the League under Article 8 of the treaty of the 22d and 30th of March, anel lth of May, 1833, as well as that of the 12th of May, 1835, are abolished, and the communications between the above-mentioned States are only subjected to such control as is required to secure the taxes raised in any State of the League, and affecting goods imported from the others. " Respecting the duties thus imposed in the interior of different States, and which in some are levied upon the raw produce, in others upon that produce when ma nufactured, or on consumption, it is acknowledged on all hands as desirable, that an uniformity in the legisla tive ordinances and rates of duty should be introduced, for which reason the chief attention of the di&rent States will be directed to the establishment of such uni formity, whether the proceeds of the taxes thus raised are divided as a common fund or not. Until this end shall be attained, the following principles shall be adopted touching the impositions above alluded to, and the trade, with the commodities which they affect, in order to diminish the inconveniences arising from the discrepancy in the system of internal taxation, and espe cially from the difference prevailing in the rates of duty, both for the producers and for the revenues of the re spective countries ; the duty upon sugar extracted from beet-root is excepted, for which special provisions have been agreed to : • CAs respects foreign commodities, no other tax shall be levied upon goods admitted at any custom-house for importation or for transit, with the exception of the dues levied in any State on the further manufacture of such produce, without distinction as to its being a fo reign or domestic production. " 2. With respect to the productions of the States of the League, no dues, whether for the benefit of Govern ments or of corporations, shall be levied on the produc tions of one of the States of the League on passing in transitu through another State, whether for exportation to other countries or to some other part of the League. " Every State of the League reserves to itself the right of preserving its internal duties upon the produce of the land, its manufacture, or upon its consumption.; it has also the liberty to alter and to abolish those duties, as well as to impose new ones ; it is, however, agreed for the present that such duties shall only be levied upon the hereafter-named productions :—Brandy, beer, vine gar, malt, wine, music, tobacco, cider, flour, grist, and baked articles, meat, and tall ow . U pon a ll t h ese art i cles the duty shall be levied as far as possible according to unform rates, which shall not be exceeded. With regard to duties of all kinds levied within the States of the League, a reciprocal treatment of other States is to be adopted, and in no case are the produc- Lions of one State of the League to be subject to higher duties than those of the others,. or than the domestic productions of each State.. According to this principle, " Those States which impoSe a duty upon an inland production, can raise none from the same article when imported from other States of the League. An excep tion is, however, allowed in the case of those States of the League in which no wine is produced, and which can impose duties, to be especially agreed upon, on 'the wine grown in the other. States. • • " Those States which impose a duty . upon the sale or transfer of articles of consumption produced within their own territory, can. - only levy a similar duty upon. the same artitl, s, when the produce of the other States of the League. They can, however, leave such articles, when exported, untaxed, or can allow a drawback on exportation. Duties raised upon the production or manufacture of certain articles in any State, can like wise be imposed upon those articles when imported from the other States. The duties to be levied according to the existing legislative enactments have been agreed upon, and if changes in the internal system of taxation of any State are hereafter adopted, they shall be noti fied to the other States, and proof shown that the altera tion in the duties and drawbacks occasioned by the change is consonant with the principles laid down above. " In as far as any number of States of the League have agreed to an uniform system of taxation, these States shall be regarded as forming an union entitled to levy the same rate of duty upon the productions of other States. " The internal duties levied upon articles produced by the States of the League shall, as a general rule, be paid at the place to which they are sent, unless special arrangements fur the erection of mutual custom-houses on the frontiers or in the interior of the respective lands exist, the costs falling to the charge of the State levy ing the duty. The arrangements for securing the payment of those duties, such as the necessary examination and control. and the obligation to keep to certain lines of road in passing from one State to the other, shall be ordered by mutual agreement, in such manner as to restrict as little as possible the freedom of communication. If in such cases it be necessary for the wares to pass through a third State, that State shall also be consulted respecting the arrangements adopted. " Dues raised on account of communes or corporations —whether consisting in additions to the duties levied by the State or in independent imposts, can only be raised from articles destined for the local consumption of the tilops where they are taxed, and are subject to the con ditions- specially laid down for their regulation, amongst which the stipulation IL 2 b. is to be observed as the . principle, which prescribes uniformity in the treatment u: the Productions of all the States upon which imposts are levied. On tobacco no duty can be levied by comma as or corporations. "'Me Govenimppto of the States if the League pro mise to communicate to eft6 other the regulations which shalt be adopted in conformity with the principles here established, as well as those now in force, and the laws and decrees by which new taxes are imposes ; further, respecting the communal, &c., dues, to communicate the places, the amount, and the regulations according to which those dues 4FP tR 6p levied. " The high contracting paFtlea consider the imposition of a duty upon sugar extracted l'Font beetrnOt to be ne cessary, and the (annexed) special agreement has teen concluded, which forms a part of the present treaty, and which is to be regarded as if contained in this docu ment. It has further been decided that when the manu facture of sugar from other materials, for instance, from starch, shall hays acquived sufficient extension within the League, that this article shall liigfl§P be subject to an uniform duty throughout the Status Of the Irmignet Pp the same principle with that imposed on beetroot sugar, "In regard to the circulating medium, the contracting Governtimatts have, by the treaty or the 30th July, 1838, -declared themselves ;tgies4 upon an uniform basis forthvealuein all h coinage t of eStatesmo ney,of the whicha4ititoil circulate with equal in future de vo t e es p ec i a l a tt en ti on toward 4 s 44 tic il will r h olopain their whole system of currency, according to the common foundation thus laid. " The efil4ting stipulations respecting the drawing up of the tariff in two ehigf denominations, viz., according to the dollar of 14 to the mark, and the gulden of 241 to the mark ; and respecting the value of the silver coinage of all the States (with the exception of the lowest denominations of coin), which shall be taken at all the toll-houses throughout the States of the League, in the proportion of fatty dollars as an equivalent to, seven gulden, remains in force. ltespeeting the gold coinage, each State re serves th e r i g ht of fixing ht w hat value in eilver the gold coins shall be taken at their respective tolt-hooses. " For weight, the com Mon toll hundred weight, which has been adopted us the standard by the present tariff, shall continue to be used,. Besides this arrangement, the contracting Governments wilt direct their attention to the introduction of that unifor►nity la Clip systems of weights and measures in their respective States which i§ so desirable. " Respecting the division of the duties raised upon common account, in place of the Ordinances of 22d and 30th March, and of 11th May, 1833; of 12th May, 1835; and of the 18th article of the Treaties of Union of 10th December, 1835, and 2d January, 1836, the following i§ adopted : "The amount 64 import duties received shall be di vided amongst the States of the League in the proportion of 'their respective populations, after the following de ductions have been made :—The cost of the arrange ments at the frontier for raising and securing the dude°, thus levied, the repayments of sums erroneously charged, and the compensationg and modifications allowed by mu tual agreement to different States. " The amount of the export and transit duties will be divided us follows :—The sums received at the toll houses of the eastern provinces of Prussia (to the exclu sion of Westplidia and the Rhenish provinces), of Saxony and the Thutingian states, will be derided be tween Prussia, Saxony, ftfaci th e Thuringian states, ac cording to the footing to be agreed upon by them. The duties raised in th e other 'states of the league will be divided by those st a t es w i thout an y o th er dedti.ctiPPs than for erroneous payments and fur compensations and modifications as agreed, in the proportions of their popu lation. • In this division of the import, export, and transit duties, the population of such states as have by treaty contracted to receive a fixed yearly sum as their shares of the duties from some other state, will be reckoned as forming part of the states which pay this sum. " The state of the population shall be determined every three years, and communicated in detail to the other states of the league by each. " A special treaty fixes'the share of the duties to be received by the free city of Frankfort, with doe regard to the consumption of goods liable to duty within that city. "The present treaty, if notice be not given at latest two years before its expiration, will be regarded as bind ing for further twelve years from its termination, and under the same • circumstances it will be prolonged from twelve years to twelve years. " This treaty shall be immediately sumbitted for rati fication to the high contracting Powers, and the ratifica tions exchanged within eight weeks at Berlin. " Berlin, May 8, 1841.

The ratifications were exchanged on the 31st of July, 1841, sth and 9th of August, 1841, at Berlin. MARCH OF INTELLECT. The following choice morceauis an exact copy of a note sent by a father to a schoolmaster, to excuse his son's absence, a proof of the progress of refinement in one of the colliery dis tricts :—" Kepotoam tullid Kolls dunnut waillim cossis rigs sor." A " classical " interpretation would run thus :—" Kept at home tp load coals—do not wale him, because his back is sore." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. JLIRLBOROUGH-S7I2EET. The Rev. Louis Waters, tho Swiss Roman Cneioiie why, was on Tharsday last charged bef - r..e Mr. Maltby with obtainia4 .money from various lio!nan Catholics under the pretence that he was appointed by the Rev. Dr. Griffiths, the. CAtlv.iiic 13i: , ,h0p of London, to go out as a missionary to China to convert the Empe ror of the Celestial Kingdom to the " true faith," and who was then remanded to give time for further inquiries as to his sanity, &c., was on Monday brought up for re• examination. Previous to the case being heard, the Rev. Henry Lee, the secretary to Dr. Griffiths, handed some letters to Mr. Maltby, which had been sent by the prisoner to the Bishop in 1839, in which he stated th a t " h e w i s h e d to be appointed confessor to her Majesty Queen Victoria, Empress of all the Russias, and the Duchess of Kent." These letters, on the prisoner's b e ing pla ce d a t th e b ar , Mr. Maltby handed to Mr. Fitzgerald, surgeon, High street, Bloomsbury, through whose instrumentality the prisoner had been taken into custody,' and requested that gentleman's professional opinion as to the sanity of a person who could, in those letters, frequently style her Majesty " The Empress of all the Russias," and express his desire of being appointed her confessor, and of ac companying her to Russia. Mr. Fitzgerald expressed his opinion, that the pri soner was labouring under a species of monomania. The Rev. Mr. Lee being sworn, stated, that the pri soner had called daily, for some months, at the house of Dr. Griffiths, in Golden-square, and left letters,, which were couched in such incoherent terms, that, by the desire of the Bishop, he had applied to the Swiss Consul (M. Prevost) to . ascertain .whether the prisOner could not be removed to his native country and placed under the care of his friends ; he found, however, that the Consul had no power to remove the prisoner against his consent. Since the commencement of the war with China, the prisoner's monomania had taken a different turn, and instead of, as formerly, supplicating to be appointed confessor to her Majesty, his desires now ran upon being sent out as missionary to China. The prisoner had no authority from the Bishop to solicit contributions. He (Mr. Lee) had heard that the pri soner had received contributions from charitable friends, but was not until that morning aware of the system he was carrying on. The prisoner came from St. Gall, in Switzerland. On the prisoner being asked whether the letters were his writing, and his reason for addressing her Majesty is the Empress of all the Russias, he admitted that he had written them, and that at the time it was his most earnest wish and prayer that her 'Majesty should become the consort of the Crown Prince of Russia. Mr. MALTBY—Are you willing, if you are not sent to prison for offending against the laws of this country, to go back to Switzerland, if passports are provided you and your passage paid to Strasburg or Basle ? Prisoner—l must go -to China. I undertake all theie things for the grace and glory of God and the good of the Chinese. Mr. MALTBY observed, that the prisoner appeared to be under such a delusion that it could be scarcely said that he was criminally responsible for his actions. After some conversation between the worthy Magis trate, the Rev. Mr. Lee, and Mr. Fitzgerald, it was ar ranged that a passage should be provided for the.pri, soner in one of the Rotterdam. packets, Mr. - Lee engaging to furnish the necessary funds, and Mr. Fitzgerald that he ; would see the prisoner safe on bo ar d an d g i ve th e ne cessary. instructions for his safety. The prisoner was then remanded until Friday next, when he will . be delivered up to Mr. Fitzgerald. • . BRENTFORD PETTY SESSIO N S. On Kinday three fathionLbly dreEsed persons, who 33• names appeared on the police-,sheet as John Goldsmith, aged 26, of 14, Aiband, Piccadilly,. gentleman; • Ray mond Newton, aged 0, of • Slbane-atreet, - gentleman ; Henry Newton, aged 25, of George-street, New-road, gentleman ; and Richard Bo3b, aged 19, of Newgate street, servant, appeared in discharge of their bail, before Mr. G. Baillie, Chairman, the Rev. Ur. Walmesley, and Mr. B. J. Armstrong, the sitting Magistrates, to answer a charge of having, on the evening of Thurs day last, been drunk, and furiously driving a phaeton and. pair of horses in the township of New Brentford, and thereby injuring a horse and harness the property of William Cullen ; also assaulting and resisting the Officers in the execution of th e ir d u ty ; assaulting John Ayres, and violent and di s ord er ly conduct at the Police station in Old Brentford. The conduct of the defendants having excited great indignation amongst the inhabitants of the town, the Magistrates' room at the Three Pigeons Inn was crowded by persons anxious to hear the case. The defendants having been placed at the bar, the fol lowing witnesses were examined : Edward Scotney, a police constable, T 29, deposed that on Thursday evening about seven or eight o'clek, Isle worth, was on duty at Brentford-end, in the p aris h o f sle worth, when he saw a phaeton and pair, having a ser vant in livery behind, coming through the Isleworth turnpike towards Brentford, the horses galloping at a tremendous rate. Seeing there was likely to be great danger caused by their coming so fast, he went into the middle of the road, and, holding up his hand, called to the driver, who was the defendant Raymond Newton, to pull up or he would run over somebody, but he kept on regardless of witness's caution, and they were soon out of sight. The horses were going at the rate of front fourteen to sixteen miles an hour. The phaeton was on its right side of the road. Mr. John Rogers, lighterman, of New Brentford, de posed that he was standing on the evening in question with some neighbours opposite the Pigeons Inn, when he observed the phaeton coming at a tremendous rate over the bridge. A horse and chaise, with two persons in it, were passing at the moment, and, fearing an accident, he called to them for God's take to pull out of the way. They drew on one side, and the phaeton passed them without striking them, but - it struck against a waggon opposite the Market-place. He followed them, and on reaching the Half-acre, found the phaeton jammed in between an omnibus belonging to Mr. William Cullen, of the Castle Inn, and the post at the corner of the road. In a minute afterwards a policeman came up, and at tempted to take the defendants into custody, but the . po lice were resisted so violently by the defendants, that the inhabitants assisted them by taking off the horses, and drawing the carriage with the defendants to the sta tion-house. The defendants were urging the horses to the utmost. Witness assisted in conveying them to the station, The hind part of the phaeton was on the crown of the road and the pole against the post. There was not room for the phaeton to pass between the post and the omnibus. Joseph Smith, T 60, deposed to taking the defendants into custody. On getting into the phaeton to do so, he was immediately collared by Mr. R. Newton and the groom, who struck him several times, and they both tried their utmost to throw him out of the carriage. He then drew his staff, and in the souffle struck. Mr. R. Newton twice over the arm, after which he sent off to the station for assistance, and, on the arrival of another constable, the inhabitants unhitched the horses and drew the phaeton to the station. The defendant Boyle while that Wll4 doing struck several persons who were pushing behind the carriage with his hat. At the station-house Mr. R. Newton and Boyle were very disorderly, so that before the charge could be taken they were obliged to be placed in a cell. They pulled the pens out of the sergeant's hand while taking down the charge ; called the police rogues and vagabonds, saying they wanted to rob them j and the defendant Goldsmith swore if the pollee attempted to lav hold of him he would knock them clown. They were all intoxicated. Creed, a police sergeant, T 15, deposed that when brought to the station the defendants, R. Newton and the groom, refused to get out of the phaeton, but at last mom constables were procured, and they were dragged out, in the station-house they all impeded the charge being taken by every moans in their power, and called him and the other constables all the foul names they could lay their tongues to. When locked up in the cells, a little wicket door was left open for air, when, seeing a female cross the yard, they called her a w— and 440 other insulting words to her, after which they imi tated aatakfis !mil the cries of dying persons, besides hallooing out ifulliraPP' ? with ail the might i and at last, seeing the wife of the inspector pang a w ind ow of the station-house, they made use of the most beastly and disgusting language, so that the female inmates of the stations were compelled to be removed to another part of the pruitseg u tigt fin immense crowd remained collected round the station until 144§1; tPII !it hi Jltr Inspector Marquard corroborated e sevggant's tes, timony. Mr. R. Newton inquired why some of the females who were so abashed had not been produced. The fact was, that the prirtelpal dittn4ge done was to his own phaeton, and the disturbance would out have h4ppenecl had not the policeman Smith jumped into the earriaue and strueli him twice over the arm and abused him. Smith instantly denied that statement, and several re bpoetable inhabitants on their oaths declared that there was not a word of truth in what Mr. R. Newton had stated, and passed a warns culogium on the police for,the temper and forbearance they displayed under the insults and blows they received. The BENCH said the line of defence adopted by the its fondants had more than anything convinced them of the tenth of the whole of the evidence against them, and the Bench then withdrew to another room to deliberate whether they should not at one° commit the defendants, to hard labour in the House of Correction for a month, ' And, after an absence of an hour, on their return into Court, Mr. BAILLIE said the Bench had convicted the whole of the defendants of the charges made against them. They had • done so after a most lengthened and , patient investigation, and, being desirous of administering the law without reference to the parties being rich or poor, ho had hesitated for some time, and had very untvil ! lingly given way, his intention having been to commit each of them to the House of Correction for one month. Under the supposition, however, that thy were gentle men, and moving in that station of society in which such a punishment would be a slur upon them during their future lives, he had consented to the infliction of penal ties, and the decision of the Bench was, that Mr. Ray mond Newton pay a fine of 40s. for furious driving, or one month's imprisonment ; also 51. for assa u l t i ng the policeman Smith, or one month I 51. for the assault on policemen - Travis, or one month ; and 40s. for disor derly conduct at the station, or one month. John Gold smith, for assaulting Mr. Ayres, Si., or one month ; 5L for ussanhing policeman Keywood, or one month ; and 40s. for improper conduct at the station, or one month. Richard Boyle, 40s. for assattltiqg policeman Keywood, or one month ; and 20s. for his conduct at tho station house, or one month. Mr. Henry Newton, 405., or one month, for disorderly conduct at the station-house. They had made a difference in the case of Mr. Henry Newton, but they considered Mr. Raymond Newton's conduct well deserving of a committal to the House of Correction. Mr. R. Newton immediately pulled out ,a roll of Bank of England notes, and paid the whole of the fines, amounting to 3V. • 7 :71 MUROEIt AT BRISTOT... 'ISTOL, AUG. t"o.—Sorne consldcrabl ha:i A:ett felt in Bristol for the past two days in cons quence of the death of a young man mimed Hoppe. who it appears wa: stabbed in one of the public tho roughfares of the city on Thursday night last, as was al "eget] without any provocation. The inquest on the body was held at two o'clock thi. afternoon, before Mr. J. B. Grindon, Coroner for the city and county, and a respectable jury. The Jury having adjourned to the vaults of the Infir mary to view the body, were then sworn, and having re turned to the inquest-room, the following evidence was taken : ex..itelnent Joseph Higgs, of Elibroad-street, deposed—l have seen the prisoner before. (The report strangely omits the name of the prisoner.) Have just examined the body, which I know to be that of William Hopper. He was a cabinet-maker.. On Thursday night last, about ten minutes before twelve o'clock, I, with the deceased, had just come out of the Crown and Mill Tavern, Castle-mill-street. We were standing in the road, wish ing each other good night, when the prisoner came by and shoved against me. I asked him why he did so, and he made no answer, on which deceased said, " You had better go on, young man," to which the pri soner replied, that the first man that came near him should be a dead man under his feet in a moment, and he put his hand behind him, and reached something from his pocket like a pistol, but I do not know what it was. He walked on, and we followed him. It was in our road ; but it was with the intention of . giving him in charge of a policeman, if we saw one. We followed him up to Philadelphia-street, and through it towards Tabernacle-street. There is an entry there, and the prisoner began to run at the corner of it, and Hopper followed him, he being the foremost of us. In almost a moment we heard the deceased, Hopper, cry "-Murder," on which we went into the alley, and about four yards from the prisoner's lodgings we found deceased standing against the wall ; he had his hands against his bowels, and said, " I am a dad man." I saw the prisoner enter one of the houses in the alley, but cannot tell which. A policeman came up, and he went into the hcuse and apprehended the prisoner. He took him away to the station. I stayed, supporting the deceased. Hopper, the deceased, did not strike the prisoner. They did not lid! down. I don't know what they did i❑ William Thomas corroborated the depositions of the preceding witness. Saw the deceased leaning against the wall with his hands before his bowels, crying that he was stabbed. The prisoner knocked at the door of his lodgings and went in. In a few minutes a policeman, No 67, came ; he obtained an entrance into the house, and brought out the prisoner in custody; the deceased, the moment he saw him, said that he was the man who stabbed him. The last witness and myself were perfectly sober, the deceased was a little a&cted by beer, but was able to conduct himself properly, I think the prisoner was a little intoxicated. Police-constable, No. 67,' George James—l was on duty on Thursday night in St. Paul's. In consequence of hearing the cry of " murder," I proceeded to Tabernacle row. Saw deceased standing against the wall and holding his belly. Got access to the house where the prisoner was, and took him into custody. Ho said (on being charged with tjie offence), " I am the man that did it." -On reaching the station-house, the prisoner was searched. The knife now produced was found in his wail oat packet (there was not any marks of blood on it). sr . Mr. J. Harrison, 44, Park-street, one of. the surgeons Of the Bristol Infirmary—l first saw the deceased about ten o'clock on Friday morning. I examined- his wound. I found he had a punctured wound four inches below the navel, and a little on the left side ; the wound had been preViously dressed. _He died about eight o'clock on the Saturday Morning. .1 have .examined the body ; the . . ge neral appearanee of the • body externally was .healthy: there was a wound about four inches below the navel, of which wound he died. Daniel Burges, jun.—l am a clerk to the Magis trates of Bristol. On Friday, the 27th instant, I went to the Infirmary with one of the Magistrates, Mr. Wood. We went to the bedside of one William Hop per, the deceased ; the prisoner also was. present. An oath was administered to the deceased. The deposi tion I produce is signed by Mr. Wood, in my presence, and it bears the mark of the deceased, who was in too much pain to write. The deposition is—" I was talking to a man named J. Higgs, at Merchant-street, when prisoner came up and said I knew nothing about it, some words ensued, and he struck me down. I never had any words with him, nor did I know him. I followed him into an alley in Tabernacle -street, where he stabbed me with a sharp instrument. He said previouSly that he knew me, and could soon settle me ; if I said any thing, it should be the, last I ever spoke. I never struck him or gave him any provocation." 'The prisoner declined saying anything. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the prisoner, who was then co.nmitted for trial. THE MARKETS.-YESTERDAY. COLONIAL MARKET. There was little business done by private contract, aid the public sales were light, but prices were sustained for most ar ticle... The imports were fair. TEA MARKET.

StraAn. 7 --The market for West India Muscovado Sugar has become very heavy, and even at further re duced prices the buyers cannot be induced to purchase except from actual want. The demand has been very limited, and almost confined to the grocery descriptions, the refiners, from the dull state of their trade, having paid very little attention to the raw material ; and altogether a very small amount of business has been done, and a further reduction of is to is 6d per cwt is established on all descriptions, except the good bright. grocery sorts, the supply of which being still compara tively small, causes them to be better supported than the lower kinds, and they have not declined more than 6cl to is per cwt ; still, upon the whole, prices ha ve ringed very uneven, and the t e nd enc y of the market is decidedly downward, the trade being much influenced by the heavy stocks on hand, while the deliveries do not equal those of former years at this particular period. Privately Jamaica good strong greyish brown for the pan sold at 58s Gd to • 59s 6d, low mid yellow at 60s to 61s, and mid to good grocery sorts, from the different Co lonies, at 61s 6(l' to 65s ; of a better quality there are few samples to be seen. • - - The demand for West India Muscovado Sugar con tinued very limited to-day, and the sales did not exceed 200 hhds and tree, at prices if anything rather in favour of the buyerS. :MAURITIUS.—The demand continues very limited, and prices are still drooping : 6,447 bags 58 casks w ere brought to th e h ammer and disposed of, but without the least spirit, and prices ruled very irregularly ; the Insult, however, is that brown and low yellow sorts are Is to is ed lower than last week, while the better qualities, of which the proportion was small, have sup ported previous rates ; fine bright yellow 63s to 655, good bright yellow 60s to 62s 6d, good middling bright yellow 56s 6d to 58s 6d, low soft and middling yellow ps to 4q5 ; fine brown scls to 51s 6d, middling foxy 4411 R 47S to 4?s 6d, and very low brown 38s to 39s per cwt. _ REFINED.- —The prices of grocery goods arc still ra pidly declining, and the market is in a very unsettled State, with few buyers. Sales made in standard lamps it 80s, and in common brown lumps at 77s to 788 per ()wt., The prices of refined goods have been compara tively much too high for some time past. Double crushed refined from Foreign Sugar in demand at 30s percc%t._ EAST INDIA.—Tho demand for Foreign East descrip tions continues liraited,,and the market being more freely supplied with Manilla, a reduction of 6d per cwt leas taken place on that description ; while Siam and Java, especially _the strong qualities of the latter, maintain previous rates, and the quantity offerinr, is small. Of Manilla 7,669 bags have been offered by p u blic auction ; there was no animation the biddings, and about two-thirds only of that quantity were s-.)ld, con sisting.ebiefly of the low and washed piles ; very good grey sold at 18s to 19s, low bro wn at 14s t o 14s 6d, damp ditto at 13s 6d to . 14s, and washed low yellow at 16s Gd to 17s ; middling soft yellow bought in at 18 s , good dry foxy brown at 17s to 17s Gd, damp ditto at 16s to 16s 6d, and low damp foxy brown at 14s Gd per cwt. Privately about 2,000 bags have been sold at 17s to 18s for low and middli ng yellow. FoßElGN,—Brazil—the • enquiry is almost exclusively confined to the strong brown and grey sorts, chiefly for refining. Bahia—good middling strong greyish white at 24s to 255, middling ditto at 23s to 23s fid, low greyish white at 21s to 22s Gd, good strong grewish brown at 18s 6d to 19s 6d, and low brown at 16s to 17s per cwt. MOLASSES.—There has been little business d one i n West India, and prices are a shade easier; a small parcel new St Vi nc ents of good quality sold at 24 s 6d, and about 50 puns of Old Antigua (imported five years ago) of very inferior q uality at 17s . per cwt.

Of Foreign a parcel of about 160 bags Para has been 5 . 07(1 at 37s per cwt. TEA.—The market remains in the same quiet state as for some days past, neither the trade nor the merchants being disposed to transact business until the arrival of 'the express from Paris,' in aNticipation of the over-land mail, which is very anxiously looked for. Prices of Free .Trade descriptions are merely nominal, scarcely a transaction having occurred to-day ; but 2s Id cash ap pears to be the lowest point of the market for low Con gou of sound quality. A few transactions took place in Company's Congou at about 2s 31-d per Ib, cash. Smarrs.—The demand for Rim has been slack this week, and few transactions have taken p'acc, but prices are without variation. The sales are confined to about 100 puns Jamaica, 32 to 34 over at 5s 4d to 5s Bd, 36 to 38 over at 5s 8d to 5.5 10d,. 39 and upwards at Gs to Gs 3d, with fine marks at 6s 8d to Os 10d, a few parcels of Leewards, proof at 2s Id to 2s lid, and about 100 puns Calcutta, proof at Is 7d per gallon. Corn Spirits in demand at is 4d per gallon. The Brandy market re mains firm, but there is little bnsiness doing in the ar-. ticle. Geneva without Variation. COTTON.—The market is flat, and few sales have been made during the week. 2,000 bales Surat offered at public sale were bought in at id to id per lb above the market ; but about 700 bales sold subsequently at the previous market prices, viz. 4id to 4d for middling fair to good. The private transactions during the Nveek are about 1,200 bales Surat, ordinary to good at 3d to 5d and 200 bales Madras, fair to good at 4id to 4id per lb. WOOL—The public sales of Colonial Wool are stilfl in progress; and will occupy the greater part of this week, owing to the unusually large quantity brought forward. The attendance of buyers is as large as ever remembered,• and the biddings are brisk at prices fully supporting the currency of the last sales, indeed on some kinds a slight a lvance is apparent. Nearly the whole quantity offered up to this time has found buy ers , and the result thus f a r appears to have given general satisfaction. RICE.—The weather continuing favourable for harvest. operations and the yield expected to turn out good, the dulness before apparent has considerably increased and prices are drooping ; sales are with difficulty effected even at a reduction on last week's rates of 3d per cwt, and small parcels only have changed hands privately, while the only parcels brought to public sale consisting of 3,900 bags 1,790 pockets Bengal, went off heavily, but chiefly sold at Ils 6d to 13s for good middling to very . good white. • SALTPETRE.—The demand for Rough continues steady, and prices are firmly maintained, with few parcels offering, and some of the merchants are not inclined to sell at present. We have not had a public sale this week, but a fair business has been done privately. INDIGO.—The demand for East India is still limited to small lots, at about the rates of the April sales, except for picked lots, which obtain a profit of 2d to 3d per lb. The, next quarterly sales of Indigo are fixed for the 3d of October. 11,900 chests are already advertised. COCHINEAL.—The demand has rather improved, and prices are a shade higher ; 57 bags Honduras, offered at. public sale, sold briskly ; blacks ord to mid at 4s 6d to. 5s 2d, and silvers mid to good at 4s 2d to ss, and very ord at 3s 1 Id to 4d per lb, PROVISIONS.—Irish butter is very dull of sale, awll prices in some cases rather easier. Fine Carlow landed is quoted at 93s to 95s ; Cork at 89s to 90s, and Water ford at *903 to 93s per cwt. Fine Dutch Butter is min demand,' and in some .instances is rather higher, viz.. 100 s to 102 s per cwt. The Bacon market is verb' dull, and prime -fresh parcels only are 'saleable on former terms, other qualities ls, to 2s lower ; Waterford sizeable quoted at 60s to 645, heavy 61s to 635; Limerick sizeable 59s to tls, heavy 603 t o 61 s per cwt, landed: Lard*., fair demand at full prices. METALS.—The only alteration in this market to-dap is a slight improvement in Spanish Lead j 20/ lOs isl obtained, and the demand is good. NITRATE OF SODA.—This article is rather higher, and some large transactions arc again reported ; 23s 9dl obtained for large, and 2 , 1 s for small parcels. TaLLow.—The market remains lvery quiet, without any material variation in prices. Fine P.Y.C. on the spot 49s to 49s 3d, and for delivery all the year 48s 9d to 49s per cwt. • OlL.—Fish Oils quiet, but not lower.
