ported to perform as a duty. " The drains and sewers," says Sir Gilbert Blane, who is high autho rity in these matters, " are now kept in a state of cleanness never before known. The Commissioners of Sewers not only permit the inhabitants, but ex hort them, to let all the soil and filth drop into the drains, instead of accumulating it in cess-pools, to be removed by the nightmen as formerly, to the infinite annoyance of the senses." The exhortation has not been unattended to. The race of men last mentioned by Sir Gilbert are nearly extinct—their " occupation's gone." And, this be ing the case, is it in the nature of things if the enormous mass of pollution which was formerly taken away in waggons, and distributed over the land as manure, is now permitted to find its way into the Thames, through the common sewers, that the water taken up-near the mouth of these common sewers can be otherwise than what professional men have declared it to be—namely, " a filthy fluid, leaded with decayed vegetable matter, and other sub stances e qually deleterious to health, arid untit for d o mestic purposes ?" . _ . 5. Sir Gilbert Blanc, in his (Mutation on Com mon Sewers, observes, that those stupendous works, the aoacce"—(his friend D . r. Reece, calls them the anacinte)--" of ancient Rome, were ac counted one of the wonders of the world ;" and .that " the excavations were so enormous, that a waggon loaded with hay, could pass through them, :end vessels sailed in them : the Cloaca Maxima being formed by Tarquinius Superbus." That the metropolis of Old England was not outdone in the number, and in the size, of its common sewers, by the metropolis of ancient Rome, I trust I shall be able to show. The number of common sewers, on the north side of the river Thames, between Chelsea and the Tower of London, will, I believe, be found to be nearly as follows. As the Commissioners, I rtrust, will put the matter beyond doubt, by direct ing an accurate snrvey of the river to be taken, I can be corrected, if I have inadvertently fallen into error : From Chelsea to Vauxhall-bridge l7 Vauxhall-bridge to Westminster-bridge 11 Westminster-bridge to Waterloo-bridge 30 Waterloo-bridge to Blackfriars-bridge lO Blackfriars-bridge to Southwark-bridge 6 !Southwark-bridge to London-bri lge 7 To which may he added, 81 From Londoo-bridge to the Tower 7 the Tower to the river Lea lO Southwark side of the river 4l Total number 139 to say nothing of the refuse of colour, lead, gas, and soap-works, drug-mills, and manufactories of various descriptions. Thus are there nearly 140 common sewers, daily and nightly disgorging their horrid contents into the Thames, in that very direction in which certain water companies draw up the supply for half the inhabi tants of the metropolis. Sir Gilbert Blane boasts of the Cloaca Maxima of ancient Rome, through which a waggon, loaded with hay, might pass. Why ! disguise the fact as we may, the whole river Thames, from Chelsea to the TJwer, ;gore nor less than one enormous common-sewer—the Cloaca Maxima of London—containing the impuri ties of a million of human beings, and forming a mass of filth, pollution, and putridity, in a state of constant agitation to and fro, such as never before -was, or could be, collected together in so small a space. This is the undisguised state of the case ; and, in a matter which concerns the public health, it would he worse than affectation not to speak out. ADJOURNED INQUEST. Yesterday evening the inquest on the body of Elizabeth Sabatina was resumed at the Rising Sun, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, before THOMAS ritccs, Esq., ti4e Coroner, when the following addi 6onal evidence was adduced : Mr. John Howship, surgeon, of George-street, Hanover-square, had opened the body of the de ceased; in the cavity of the belly he discovered ap pearances of a violent bruise, which had undoubtedly keen produced by some violence just prior to the unfortunate woman's death ; this injury had pro duced an effusion of blood among the bowels ; wit ness could not say how far the said injury was in ;trumental to her death ; but was of opinion that it .erided in a great measure to accelerate it. Harriet Turnley, sister of the deceased, deposed that her sister had been married ,to her husband about seven years; his c6nduct had ever been the most unmanly and bruttul; upon several occasions he .10. d beat her most unmercifully; he was in the habit of putting a razor under his pillow at night and threatening to cut her throat if she offended him. The Coroner and Jury expressed the utmost iodig. _ ri:ition at the brutal conduct of the husband. After considerable discussion, the following ver dict was returned, " That the deecased had been ill-used and neglected by her husband, which brought on ill-health, which, added to a blow she received front some person unknown to the Jurors, eaeted her death on the 21st inst." When the Conflict gun-brig left Sierra Leone, the srpl2,lron 011 the Coast of Africa was healthy, with the exception of the Rethcing, IS, Capt. D. C. CLAvEawc, which vessel, it is feared, has been lost, with all the crew, as some of her spars had been picked up about thirty miles to the Northward of Sierra Leone, from which place she had sailed, about five months previously, to cruise down theemst. The Redwing lr.v.'ing been very actively aryl successfully employed against the r.hunian traders in slaves, that coast, repairs became necessary—she came home, was refitted, and sailed again on the 10th eo May last, to return and cruise out her limited time there, and Capt. C. to obtain his promotion as a reward for his zealous services.. If the Redwing has been lost, we presume it must have Leen by some accident, as no Officer had a more accurate knowledge of the Coast—and the fate of her Commander, as well as of his officers and crew, will be greatly deplored. Capt. C. was a discreet, clever, scientific, good offisa a ,arm of General CEAvEnwe, aral was universally esteemed. .—Hampshire Telegraph. For many years past the north part of Brighton has not been so seriously inconvenienced from the rising of the springs, as it is at present. The well at Pate Lam (a v ill a ge about four miles from Brighton), of great, depth, nuns over, nod the stream from thence floods the toad to e.tighton, in many places entirely covering it. There is almost a river on the level, which passes the new church, and is there carried to the sea by an underTrourel drain. The kitchens; of many houses in the neighl7ourbood have -several feet of water in them to the great inconvenience of the residents, and the loss of the proprietors. In one house at Preston the water is no less than seven feet in deptk, and in the ptc.blic.house at Patcham, the water has taken possession even of the gronnd-floor, to the infinite annoyance of the landlady, and her no small loss of cuetem. The lawn in front of Major PAINE'S house at Patcham, has also been literally a sh ee t of water. The coaches travelling from Brighton to London ha7e been seriously impeded, having to travel through water nearly the whole .of the distance from henre to Patcham, and in some places the axle-tree has been covered. On Monday one of the coaches st uc k f a st, and the coachman was obliged to send for fresh horses, on the arrival of which the efforts used to drag out the vehicle snapped the pole asunder; fortunately no further harm was done.—Brighton Gazette. • • WANTON OUTRAGE.—On the evening of Thursday the 10th inst., as a servant in the employment of Mr. BOLTON, a gentleman of fortune, who resides in the neighbourhood of Is;avan, was returning home with a pair of valuable carriage horses in hi s care, he was st oppe d within a couple of miles of Navan by a number of mis creants, who had evidently been in wait for him, a n l dreadf u lly beaten. The savages were not content with maltreating the servant, hut in the most wanton and cruel manner proceeded to torture the unfortunate animals ; one of which they stabbed with a pitchfork, while the other w a.s wounded in several places with a sharp instrument. Alr. BOLTON had a short time previously to the committal of the outrage given an acre of ground, on which a Popish Chapel is being erected, and also subscribed a hundred pounds towards defraying tke expenses of the edifice. Vet, even his lib er ality, could not secure his property from the vengeance of the sanguinary peasautry. Mr. Bor.zoN has offered a reward of twenty guineas for the discovery of the perpetrators of the outrage. PRICESOF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. — 3 per Cent.

We understand that the Right Honourable THOMAS WALLACE iS to be raised to the Peerage, by the title of Baron WALLACE, of Knaresdale, in the county of Northumberland. It is said that Lord G. G RANVILLE SOMER SET is to be one of the Lords of the Treasury, in the room of the KNIGHT of KERRY. The opening of Parliament will probably be distinguished by violence of declamation against the New Administration on the part of the Ultra Tories as well as of the Ultra Whigs, for moderate men and moderate measures will ever be scouted by those to whom the triumph of party is of more importance than the safety of the State. Whilst Lord Er.DoN will reprobate a Ministry tainted with liberality—the pure Whi . y will condemn wholesale a Government containing three more Tories than they admitted into the last, and all this without the possibility of knowing what line will be taken, and what measures proposed by the New Administration. But nothing leads its to augur more favourably of the New Government than the exclusion from office of the Noble Earl to whom we have al luded—the late Lord Chancellor, ELDON. Feel ing great respect for the private character of that venerable Nobleman, and yielding to none in our admiration of his stupendous professional talents, we still think it matter of high congratulation to the Country that he either has not been offered, or hag not accepted place on the present occa sion. The Ditke of WELLINGToN has been so much occupied with battles and sieges, and the command of Armies, that he has • scarcely had time to consider many questions of internal policy, and Mr. PEEL is liberal on every subject but one, so that the fact of their having associated themselves with Mr. HuslassoN, and his party, may i;f3 fairly construed into a pledge that their minds are open to conviction even on the Catholic question. And though there is little probabi lity of the - coming round, we trust that a strict neutrality on the abject will distinguish this Ad. ministration ; it being equally blameable in one party to employ patronage in backing their opinions, as it would be in the other half of the Executive to endeavour to force Emancipation on the people of England, till prejudice and bigotry have died away (as they certainly will), when no longei fed by the public money. But in the case of Lora JF,,Loos, it would be insanity to expect or even to hope for change. His mind has, for half a century, arrayed every faculty it possesses against the spirit of im provement—and Catholic Emancipation, im provement in the Courts of Equity or of Law, Free Trade, and the manumission of Slaves have alike encountered his determined opposition. Having witnessed the ravage of Revolutionary principles towards the close of the iaist century, he still hears the howling of the storm, nor call be credit the testimony of his own senses, that the po litical horizon is more bright, aaf.l the atmosphere more serene, than if that hurricane had never swept the earth. Flattered by the applause of creatures whose deficiency of intellect scarcely authorises the naturalist to class them with his Lordship in the scale of creation, and deserted even by his former Colleagues, the Noble Earl will now regard himself as a martyr to th a t spec i es o f p o liti ca l cons i s t e ncy, which haughtil y , but vainly refuses to accommodate it self to the changing scenes of this varying 1 and eventful world. The Moniteu r of Tuesday, and the Gazette de Ranee dated Wednesday, have been re ceived. The former contains an official docu ment, being a report to the KING, reconitnend ing the a ppointment of a Commissi on to inquire into the state of the Ecclesiastical Schools throughout the Kingdom, in order that they may harmonize with the Political Legislation and the maxims of the Public Law of France. Count PoRTAL Is has 'obtained his MAJESTY'S, ap proval of this Commission, which is expected to execute its task with strict integrity. If it do so, the Jesuits will have good. reason to lament the dissolution of the last Cabinet, under whose fostering care their influence took deep root in almost every institution in the Kingdom. The Jesuits are confessedly the most subtle, ambi tious, and persevering sect that ever existed. With them the spread of pernicious principle, the love of dominion, and the uniform abuse df power, have been synonimous terms. Grasping at exclusive privileges, they had at last provoked the suppression of their order in almost every coun try in Europe, from their excessive intolerance and insidious policy. Their reign began with the cradle and left not their victim when the grave closed over his earthly remains, but pursued his spirit into a world of their own creation always exacting from friendship, as a last memo rial, that tribute which poverty perhaps denied the dying penitent. Like harpies they hovered over the bed of sickness, waiting, if not precipi tating, the dissolution of their victim, that the Church might benefit by the dying bequest of the alarmed, but confiding, sinner. But the day of their glory has gone down—the mockery of superstitious faith—the blind belief in their eternal doctrines—has been shaken—almost de stroyed by the palpable fact of their own fallibility. That power which they arrogated beyond the grave has failed them in their late struggles for temporal existence. The illusion which charmed so long has at length been dissipated by the light of knowledge pene trating into, and exposing the dark recesses of, their mystical hypocrisy and artful superstition. Deprived of authority, they had almost been banished from society, till the late return of con genial spirits to power recalled and priiately countenanced the revival of that secret influence which aims at the mastery and direction of mind throughout the varied duties of life, till the de parting spirit rely on its protection in another world. The Jesuits know that as the seed is sown will the harvest grow, till ripe for the sickle,—and the education of youth is therefore the field upon which they can best, because most effectually, display their talent. For this reason they exert their utmost abilities to procure the superintendance of public and private instruction-- and their motive is the more urgent, because their purpose is selfish. But they have over stepped the bounds of prudence in their eager ness to prevail : the excess of their devotion has insured their ruin. Not content with the unex pected progress they had lately made in the en lightened mind of France, they lost sight of their uniform caution in the momentary joy of their success, grasping at unlimited dominion. But they have happily missed their aim. The insti tution of the present Commission is a deaib blow to their hopes.- They may still, ha‘tever, receive the private condolence of royalty, but it will be of bale avail, provided the stream of public opinion is set fairly against them. Let the French people look to themselves, and the liberty of conscience will be as secure as the in dependence of the Charter. If they neglect their duty they must expect the consequence. (From the Monitcur of Jan. 22.—Official ) " REPORT TO THE KING. " Sire,---The necessity of ensuring in all the secondary ecclesiastical schools the execution of the laws of the kingdom, is generally acknowledged ; the measures which that necessity commands shall be complete and efficacious. Tlo should harmonize with our political legislation and the maxims of the public law of France. They are con nected, at the same time, with the sacred rights of religion, with those of tie throne, with the paternal and domestic authority and the religious liberty guaranteed by the Chartar ; they cannot be prepared with too much maturity, since they are not foreign to any of the principal interests of the country. That they may be so prepared, with full and entire knowledge of the subject, your Ministers, Sire, have thought that it was useful and fitting that the state of the facts should be ascertained,—that they should be compared with the laws,f and that the regulations ac knowledged to be indispensable for the maintenance of the legal regime should be submitted to a previous and thorough examination, before they arc submitted to your council for discussion, and to your Majesty for approbation : they have thought that this important mission should naturally be confided to men,- more particularly pointed out to your Majesty's choice by their rank, their situation, and their knowledge. " If tiiis measure should be approved by the King, I shall have the honour to propose to your Majesty the for mation of a commission of nine members, composed as fol- lows : " The Archbishop of Paris, peer of France. " Viscount Laine, peer of France, Minister of State. " Baron Seguier, peer of France, First President of the Royal Court of Paris. " Baron Mounier, peer of France. " Count Alexis de Nonilles, Minister of State, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. a The Bishop of Beauvais. - " Count de la Bourdonnaye, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. " M. Dupin, sen. Member of the Chamber of Deputies. M. de Courville, Member of the Council of the Uni.. versity of France. " I am, with profound respect, Sire, your Majesty's most humble and most obedient servant and faithful subject, the Peer of France, Keeper of the Seals, Secretary of State for the Department of Justice, " Approved Jan. 20, " By the King, " Count PORTALIS. " CHARLES. " Count PORTALIS." (From the Gazette de France, dated Jan. 23.) VIENNA, JAN. 12.--The news of the change of Minis try in France arrived here yesterday evening. As we bad been prepared for it for some days, it did not excite much surprise. The funds rose a little this morning, but have declined this evening to their former price. Metalliques, Sn.

Frankfort Papers and the Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 18th inst. have been received this morning. Affairs at Constantinople continued in much the same st a t e as w hen the Ambassadors l o f t . The PonTE is indefatigable in making prepara- Lions for defence, and the. SULTAN appears somewhat puzzled how to act—that is, how to yield with the best grace. There is some talk about a powerful guarantee for the duration of the state of things whiel may be produced by concession ; but who can guarantee the duration of any thing in a country where anarchy is—order If the SUL TAN wish to perpetuate his own dynasty he must first bring the refractory disposition of his subjects to a due sense of obedience, and the benefits resulting from a civiliied life. The diffusion of knowledge is the only true way of improving the people : the more men become enlightened they become the more vi: tuous, and respect in others that quality which they cultivat'e in themselves : BUCHAREST, DEC. Si. Since the departure of the three Ambassadors from Con- stantinople things continue in the same state. The Porte is preparing to make the most obstinate resistance, and no means are left untried to revive the spirit of the Mussul men, which has been much depressed since the late r - forms. Meantime, well-informed persons still entertain great hopes of an amicable arrangement, and they are the more confirmed in this opinion as the Austrian Internuncio, whose health, indeed, is still very indifferent, neglects rm thing to induce the Porte to yield, and to make it sensible of the dangers to which it would be inevitably exposed by a breach with the three Powers. At the same time, the answer to the Grand Vizir will powerfully support the exertions of the Internuncio, and the Sultan may, perhaps, be convinced by it that the question is taken np very se- riously in all quarters, and that the preservation of peace depends only upon him. How far it may be allowed him, in the present moment, to change the policy hitherto ob served, and thereby to see himself protected against near or remote danger, can hardly be judged of at Constantinople, At least, a wish appears to prevail there for a powerful guarantee for the duration of the state of things which may be produced by concession. Whether the other Powers will find it proper to give such a guarantee, may, if the case should occur, become a different question, The Ambassador of the Netherlands, to whom, on the departure of the Ambassadors, their archives were ea trusted, bad also the jurisdiction over the subjects of the three Powers assigned to him, The Porte, however, ha', not allowed him the formal protection of them. Within these three days, several English travellers and Polish Noblemen have passed through this town, coming from Constantinople, BNtYENA, DEC. 10. The French and English Ambassadors, after a few days' stay at Vourla, have proceeded on their voyage. Tran quillity prevails here; but the Consuls of the three Powers are making preparations to depart. TRIESTE, JAN. 12. The Osservatore Triestino of to-day confirms, on the the authority of accounts from Corfu, of the 4th Jan., the ar rival of Mr. Stratford Canning at that place. It also states that two Greek brigs of war, which had put into Corfu, had been obliged, by an order of the Government, to leave the port. STUTGARD, JAR. 16. Several important legislative measures not having been completed in the last Session of the States of the Kingdom, his Majesty was induced to convoke an extraordinary as- , sembly of the States, which was opened yesterday, by his Majesty in person, with a speech in which he developed briefly the measures which it was intended to lay before them, and expressed his confidence that this fourth Session of the States would, like' the preceding, afford new proofs of the strict union between the Sovereign and his faithful subjects. ST. rETERSBURGII, JAN. 1. Two Circassian Princes had an audience of the Emperor on the 29th December. They offered to his Majesty to raise, and place at his disposal, a volunteer regiment of light cavalry, which should be clothed and maintained at its owe expence. Tlaey brought with them various uni forms, for the Emperor to .choose that of the regiment._ The Emperor decided that the officers, as well as the sot. diers, should wear a steel helmet, a coat of mail, ball-proof, coming down to the middle of the thigh ; over that a short blue habit, richly embroiJered, long white pantaloons, and long gloves of buffalo hide. The hand is covered with steel rings interlaced, and the upper part which goes above the elbow with steel plates, highly polished. Their arms are a long sabre, a dagger three-quarters of a yard long, a pistol of the same length, a steel bow and a quiver of arrows. These warriors gave considerable proof of their skill in the use of these weapons. The Envoys received rich presents from the Emperor, who, on dismissing them, assUred them of his special favour.

The Oho' ries in the week ending last night, are very great, about 100,000 hogsheads : nearly all the prices are about the same. Woot..—The demand noticed . in our last report for Spanish Wool continues, the' deliveries of this description in the week ending last uight i have exceeded 55,0001ba. The arrivals of German Woola have fallen off very_ consi derably. Spanish Wools are from W. to 6d._higher. SALTPETRE—Clantimies in steady demand for 'con surnption, at from 245. to 248. 6d. The deliveries have increased, and are 1,595 cwt. this week. The sale at the India House of 500 tons, is declared for the begioni n g of mext month. StLx--.Maintains the late advance, in manufactured goods an increasing demand may be noticed this week• The Throweters are now the most eager purchasers of rot Silks. Turkey Silk is much inquired after, and the quo tation of Brutin, is from 14s. 6d. to 14s. 9d. ; the holders demand the latter price. There are few arrivals of French manufactures reported. The stock in the country of Os description is however large, and little or no profit c an be made by exporting. CoTiow.:L-The sale at the India House, which com menced this Jnorning, was well attended. During the week not much business has been done, but prices are firm. East India Cotton-is in demand. The deliveries have ex" ceeded 35,00011 A. this week. Of other descriptions the deliveries have been since this day week 141,8971b5. Egyptian is much inquired after at the former advance. The East India Corrox sale of to-day, consisted of 8,900 bales, nearly the whole of which was inferior Surats. For these there was no demand, as the selling prices w ere considered too high, and the major part was bought in , Of Manilla there were 600 bales of good quality—these sold readily at from 7d. to 7d., rather under the last sales as the quality was superior to that last sold. Of Bengal there were but 24 bales, all inferior, and they- with difficult , / obtained 3id. to 4d. per lb. The sale went off very flat, and quite different from what was expected. There are several other sales of Cotton to-day. Twelve hundred bales of American were attempted to be sold, but nearly the whole was bought in, and the actual sales were a shade below the Market price. The other sales have not yet concluded. WINDSOR, JAN. MAJE S TY'S health is daily improving, and it is expected he will go to town in the course of the ensuing week. A Council is ex pected to be held to-morrow or Saturday at the Royal Lodge. Saturday is said to be the day fixed when all the new Cabinet Ministers will be present.

ANOTHER PO-TEMPORARY.—SOTtIe mem bers of the Scottish Bar, strenuously endeavour to imitate the pronunciation of their Southern neighbours —whilst others doggedly adhere to broad Scotch.

A beat was soon provided, which put off to the rescue of the sufferers ; but, snch was the dis tance of the spot, the centre of an immense lake, that it was nearly an hour and half before they could be taken up. It appeared that the men bad gone out early in the morning, in a small boat, with the p ei n e u e r a i oor tfde,trheietfl3vi't h'talesl view of catching wild fowl, and that the boat had upset in a place seven or eight feet deep ; one of them had supported himself on some concealed bars of wood, while the other .held by both hands on the end of one of their oars, which had fortunately stuck upright in the mud. Although in a most distressing state of exhaustion, having remained in' their perilous situation a considerable time before their cries were heard, the poor fellows, from the promptitud e with' up ttei t t o ll: t , li t. r a oi t ear which medical assistance was supplied, are now doing well, Taunton Courier. • course of nature, as relates to the weather since the year TIIE LATE STORM.—TIic extraordinary 1824, is worthy of remark : ever considered that the c hanges of the moon invariably operated (not only in this country but in all parts of the world) in causing changes in the weather and fluctuations in th e tid es . Destructive storms usually took :place with spring tides ; butssince the memorable storm of 1824, all was at a quarter before one o'clock in the the gales in this part of the country, worthy of notice, moon. This have taken when high water (which rose to fiftee n feet of January, morning, the time of the dead of the neap. The commence- ment of the hurricane was at one hour after high water. Th i s being the case, it is not matter of wonder that a ux of the great body of the tide water aided by t he extraordinary ,e flux plac e a: b t re t c t a i s l e e i n n ea t h p e o l late ( ex t ra ordinary pressure of land floods, greater than ever before known, pouring down the rivers and.harbours, di rectly against a violent wind, caused in an ,open roadstead, such an agitated surface that few vessels could withstand six inches), it. Tile height of this hurricane appears from all accounts to have been at three o'clock M. the morning, at which time the surface of the water ought to have been about 13 feet above the level of low water mark. The lower part of the sea-side of the breakwater, it is therefore presumed, bad never experienced such a trial as in the late instance; hut we are happy in being able to add, that we are fully borne out in what we stated last week, and that no im pression whatever has been made upon the breakwater by the hurricane...P/ymouth Jounce/. CITY MARKETS.-THURSDAT EVENING. PLANTATION SUGARS.--A good deal of business was done on Tuesday and yesterday at very full prices, but to day the transactions have been very trilling, and the Market altogether has assumed a very languid ap pearance ; the public sale of Barbadoes on Tuesday, went off with great spirit, at very full prices : a small partici of Mauritius, of the new crop (739 bags) was also sold on Tue;day very briskly, at an advance of Is. to Is. (id., the quality being exceedingly good and suitable for the scale. Two or three other public sales of Mauritius, of the new crop, are also advertised, which may in some degree account for the flatness apparent in the raw market to-day, as the scarcity of good coloury grocery Sugars becomes every day more evident. Delivered last week from West India Docks, 2,96 G hhds ; 243 trs. Stock on baud in West India Docks (on Ilst inst.); 27,466 lihds ; 2,482 trs. Stock on hand in West ludia Docks (on 23d Jan. 1827); 36,587 hhds. ; 2,698 trs. Fonsins SUGARS—There are some enquiries, but very little business has been done lately. REFINED SUGARS.—The business done this week has been very considerable in almost every description of goods; the low qualities of lumps, however, continue to be the principal object of attraction, and have been nearly all taken out of the market at the advanced quotations for delivery six weeks forward a further advance is offered, and in some instances taken ; the middling descriptions have also been in much greater request than for a length of time past, for packing and crashing, the purchases of the latter for immediate shipment having been very consi derable. _ _ --- --- COFFEE-The public sales of Foreign brought forward since last Thursday have been rather e xtensive, upwards of 2000 bags (nearly all Brazil) having been offered, and a great part sold (about one thousand two hundred bags) at from 38s. 6d. to 395. 6d. for fine ordinary coloury, and 375. to 38s. for good ordinary; a few lots of good •rdinary La Guayra were o ffered, but bought in a 375. 6d.: the demand for Foreign Coffee for the Mediter ranean appears to be rather considerable, but the inquiries generally are exceedingly limited ; about 1,500 bags are advertised for to-morrow : a parcel of Plantation at public sale to-day, consisting of good and fine ordinary Jamaica and middling Demerara, went off briskly at ls. a 2s. per cwt. higher, notwithstanding the demand at present is limited.

FRUIT,—The market continues much in the same state as last week : the demand is rather improving ; a cargo of New Valentia Raisins in boxes was divided among the Grocers last week a 505., quality fine. the prices of FRIDAY, TWO CLOCK• PLANTATION SUGARS. —The flatness in the raw market, noticed yesterday, has continued up to the present hour to day, and the transactions which have taken pl ace are scarcely worthy of notice : a small sale of 1 . 00 bags bags, consisting of Mau ritiusor- dinary went off heavily, and barely supported the previous sale (on Tuesday last.)
