THE MARICETS.--(THIS DAY-) CORN-EXCHANGE. The &applies of all kinds of Grain and Flour last week, Ware more moderate than for some time past. There is not mush addition to the quantities by the fresh arrivals this warning. Fine dry Wheat has met a free sale to-day, IRA at no improvement in value ; othur kinds are still heavy in disposal. Barley for malting meets a slow de mand at the terms last quoted; grinding parcels are also unaltered. Beans that are dry fully support last prires the damp samples being on hand. Pease of both kinds are 'Without' variation. • Oats firmly maintain the rates lately quoted, with a slack sale, our buyers being unwilling to go into stock at present. The best marks of Flou r are enquired after, while other kinds are neglected, and conse quently very dull in sale. PRICKS ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) s2s. 60s. Beans, Small (new)... 48s. 50s.

I 29 0 28 0 23 0 KING'S THEATRE. An Opera, by Mayer, entitied; . " Rosa e la Rosa Rossa," was produced at for the first time, on Saturday night. pk simple, is laid in England, and turns chiefly on the :famous dissensions between the Houses of York and -Lancaster. During the period of the triumph of the White Rose an Earl of Derby, who has attached himself, it seems, to the ruined party, returns in disguise from banishment, and finds the female to whom he was betrothed on the very eve of being united to a treacherous friend. This incident is rather stale than unnatural, and is not far enough removed from common-place to redeem the. credit of a new opera. On the instant of the discovery the Earl of Derby proclaims himself, and interferes with the marriage; and, as a reward for such interference, is very summarily consigned to a prison. When, after the usual lapse of time, he is about to be exe cuted, his lady who, it should seem, had always been faithful, receives a pardon from the King, gained at her own personal solicitation, and thereby rescues her lover from (to use a somewhat hachneyed phrase) " an ignominious end." The music of this opera, without being first-rate, or indeed making any approaches to it, is pretty and pleasing throughout. The overture especially has two or three very delightful passages, as also a ea vatina, sung by Curioni, in the second Act, and beginning with "Co suoi frequenti palpiti." Ma dame Pasta was the hero of the piece, and went through her part with all that ardour and resolute adherence to nature, for which this eminent actress is so remarkable. In her costume of the young knight, she looked the very spirit of chivalry. Ca radori, we were sorry to learn, was indisposed, con sequently was heard to disadvantage. Notwith standing however her manifest debility she exerted herself (and successfully) to the utmost. The opera was received with applause by a fashionable _ and crowded h ouse . 155 I ing my application to him upon the rumours the public newspapers, and of the importance of the conse quence if they were true,—namely, that a vacancy would occur in the representation of the county. His reply was, that he must decline giving any confirmation of those rumours. At the same time, discussing, in the abstract, Mr. Russell's pretensions to represent the county, either in case of his own retirement, on account of ill-health, or in any other event, he said he thought Mr. Russell had a better claim than any other gentleman likely to come forward ; but, like Lord Cleveland, he evinced that just anxiety which he was bound to feel, that his successor would efficiently and assidiously discharge the duties attached to the repre sentation of the county.--(Hear, bear.) This is the sub. stance of ell that ever passed between those Noble Lord, and myself on this subject. My honourable relation wan abroad, and all that did pass necessarily took place with myself; and I venture to ask whether any imputa tion can rest upon them or me for what so occurred?— (Cheers.) Ido not stand here to vindicate Lord Dur ham against what may have been imputed to him—that Noble Lord needs no defence of mine ;—but as my honour able relation, and therefore yourselves, as his constituents, are concerned in what has been said, I may be allowed to ask whether it is possible to imagine that any private object could stimulate his Lordship's wishes in Mr. Russell's be half? Their personal acquaintance does not amount to intimacy. Family connexion they have none. On the contrary, if the seat was to be occupied by Mr. Russell, it would then be placed beyond the range of Lord Durham's family connexions and influence ; although I know that offers on behalf of those connexions, were addressed to him. Thus, with regard to any such conspiracy as that so ab surdly alleged between Lord Cleveland and Lord Durham, to counteract and stifle the independence of the county, it would rather seen!, that, if they conspired at all, it must have been for the purpose of securing that independence, by placing in the vacant seat a gentleman unconnected with either of them, whose pretensions, arising from his stake in the county, were undeniable, who was sure to de sire to retain his seat, if once placed in it, and whom Providence had blessed with the means to maintain the independence of the county against themselves, or any other who might assail it. (Hear, hear, hear. )--But I can positively state the fact that between those Noble Lords, no communication whatever, direct or indirect, ever took place with regard to the manner in which the vacancy should be filled : neither was that subject ever referred to between them, until the other day, when they met in Loudon, long after I had announced Mr. Russell's intention to offer himself, and even after his return to England. It was, I believe, when they met, for the first time, in the House of Lords, that it naturally became the subject of some cursory conversation between them. I have thought it right, in justice to all parties, and to myself amongst the rest, to say thus much. Be assured that nothing could have induced me to place my honourable relation in a position where he would have been bound to others, at the cost of every honourable feel ing, and of what he owed to the large and independent body he aspired to represent.—(Cheers.) Besides, it would have been useless ; for he would have indignantly spurned such an arrangement if others bad been capable of making it.—(Cheers.) So placed, and so pledged, the re presentation of the county would have been a disgraceful burthen to him. But he is as free from all pledges, except those he has given you this day, as be or you can desire. He is, of course, proud of the support of men of eminent station, and whose conduct has procured for them the esteem of their fellow-countrymen ; but he looks to the great body of the independent freeholders as that to which he is responsible. —(Cheers.) He will prove himself worthy of them; but if he should not, I should feel myself bound, on the next occasion, however painful to my private feel ings, to be amongst the first to oppose and reject him.— (Cheers.)—With regard to the political sentiments of my Hon. Relation, he seems to me to have said all that could be expected from him in the present extraordinary and cri tical posture of political parties and affairs. He must not suppose it possible that his political opinions and conduct will be entirely satisfactory to the whole body of his con stituents. I trust, however, they will be such as the great majority will approve, when he performs his pledge of sup porting all wholesome measures, whoever may originate them, and when he shall continually prove his anxiety to reform abuses, to reduce the public burthens, and to pro mote the cause of civil and religious liberty, while lie evin ces a steady and devoted attachment to the constitution of his country.—(Loud applause.) The Hon. Gentleman then said—l cannot conclude without expressing to you my deep sense of your kindness on this occasion, as well as the courtesy with which I was met, on all hands, while 1 acted on behalf of my Hon. Relation during his absence; and I beg to assure you, that I shall ever retain sentiments of obligation and gratitude to the Freeholders of the county of Durham."—Mr. T. sat down amidst general cheering. Among the toasts that followed were—Lord William Powlett—The Coal Trade—The Commercial and Agri cultural Interests of the County—Prosperity to the Port of Sunderland—Colonel Mills and Mr. Buddle (the Vice- Presidents)—The Mayor and Corporation of Durham— Mrs. Russell—Prosperity to Ireland, &c. The Hon. Chairman vacated his seat at half-past eight o'clock, but the conviviality of the company was main tainei to a much later hour. Mr. Russell's tenantry were entertained at the , Queen's Head Inn, and dinners were provided at the rest of the inns, and at the different public-houses, for the accommo dation of the freeholders.

Stß,—Mr. Peel has nobly fulfilled the expectation which the nation had formed of him. He has pro posed the appointment of the Finance Committee, not with the view of redeeming a pledge reluctantly given to satisfy the nation, but with an anxious and sincere desire to investigate the real financial situa tion of the country, and to reduce, if possible, the national expenditure. It must be particularly gra tifying to you, Mr. Editor, who have so steadily recommended that all deception with respect to the state of the Income and Expenditure of the country should be put an end to,—to observe, that Mr. Peel declared that the time was now arrived when we must look fairly and firmly at the state of our finance. This, Mr. Editor, is the advice you have fre quently given, and Mr. Peel has adopted the very words which you have used in writing on this sub ject. You will, therefore, agree with me in considering that Mr. Peel deserves well of his country for having had the manliness to avow, as the First Minister of the Crown in the House of Commons, that we must boldly meet our difficulties, and put an end to a system of deceit—and (may I add) of fraud. So far we agree, Mr. Editor ; but you must excuse me if I say that Mr. Peel hardly fulfilled this promise by founding his statement on a review of our Income and Expenditure during the last five years. He must have known that any calculation founded on the total receipts or expenditure for that time must prove fallacious, because our income has for the last two years decreased, while our expenditure has increased, and that no reasonable expectation can be entertained that the amount of either the one or the other would be in the next five years what it was in the last. Had Mr. Peel confined his review of our circumstances to the last three years, he would have come to a conclusion more likely to be verified by the actual results of the next three years. 1 have also to com plain that Mr. Peel has made one great and impor tant mistake, he has discarded on the one hand 4,245,0001., received from the Trustees of Military and Naval Pensions, and likewise on the other hand the 2,800,000/. paid to those Trustees. But Mr. Peel will find, or the Finance Committee will find, and those who live till next year will have reason to know, that when the Dead Weight. Scheme ends, the whole of the 2,800,000/., on the expenditure side of the account, will not cease to exist, although the whole of the sum on the income side of the book, as received from the Trustees, will disappear.— Amongst the items of National Expenditure will most assuredly appear 585,7401., being the amount of that part of the annuity of 2,800,000/., which the Bank have purchased and paid for; and this sum will remain until the year 1867, as a memento of the most unfortunate Finance Scheme which has ever been adopted,—the folly of which the StiN has never ceased to expose.

The marl:et for Barloy has been much depressed during the week, al though' we have not had many fresh arrivals, and a good deal of middling quality is gone to granary; but to.ilay the holders are more firm, and the business done has been on terms fully equal to those of last week.

DURHAM, FEB. 14. Yesterday, after the election was over, Mr. RUSSELL gave an elegant entertainment to his friends, at the Water loo Hotel. The two large rooms in front were thrown into one, and, it may be truly said, a more closely packed company never was seen, the number present being about 200. Mr. RUSSELL, of course, filled the Chair, and dis charged its duties with great ability and effect. On the right of the chair was Major ALLAN, and on the left, the Hon. Capt. COCHRANE. Among the others were the fol lowing gentlemen :—Mr. Tennyson, M. P., Mr. Griffith, Mr. Salvia, Mr. G. Robinson, Mr. Nelson, Mr. T. Green. well, the Rev, Edward Davison, the Rev. G. Gamlen, Mr. T. Hopper, Mr. W. Loraine, Captain Ellis, Dr. Cooke, Mr. Dunn, the Mayor of Durham, Col. Gray, (Norton), Mr. Alderman Wolfe, Mr. Grieveson, (Newcastle), Col. Mills and Mr. Buddle (the two latter being the vice-presi dents), &c. The dinner was served up in good taste.— It was substantial, though it included the delicacies of the season—salmon and lamb, with a slight combination of the cuisine Francaise. The wines, particularly the Claret, gave great satisfaction. On the removal of the cloth, Non Nobis Domine was sung with impressive ef feet by four of the choristers belonging to the Cathedral, who also executed several glees in excellent style in the course of the evening. The first toast was the King-- which was followed by the Duke of Clarence and the Navy, and the Count and County Pala tine. Mr. Allen then rose, and in handsome terms gave the health of the Chairman. Mr. Russell re turned thanks, pithily observing, that " the great interests of the country, and the local interests of the county of Durham in particular, should ever command his closest at tention."—(Applause.) The Chairman then gave the In dependent Freeholders of the County of Durham, which Wag followed by the Duke of Wellington and the Army, and the Lord Lieutenant. The health of Lord Durham was proposed by a remarkably neat and complimentary speech on the part of the worthy Chairman, who observed, that whatever regret the freeholders might feel at losing their able and active representative, the Noble Lord would still exert himself for the good of the county in the Upper House of Parliament. This toast, as well as the health of the worthy Chairman, was drunk with three times three. The Chairman next gave the two worthy Gentlemen, right and left (Mr. Allan and Captain Cochrane), who had that day nominated and seconded him, trusting, that by and by, his conduct would relieve their minds of the great re sponsibility they had incurred. The High Sheriff fol lowed. Colonel Grey (of Norton) rose and proposed the health of Mr. Tennyson, in terms that were equally appropriate and complimentary. Mr. Tennyson rose and delivered an excellent and highly interesting address, which, from its importance, we publish at length. The Hon. Gentleman said—" I beg to return you my sincere and hearty thanks. If, at any time, it must produce in my mind a feeling of pride and satisfaction, to have my health proposed and received in the manner I have just witnessed, by so highly respectable a company, as that by whom I have the honour to be surrounded, it is scarcely necessary for me to say, that that satisfaction is greatly en hanced by the occasion on which we are assembled.— (Cheers. )—I have always lived with my honourable rela tion, who has this day been elevated, by your suffrages, to the high station of your Representative in Parliament, on terms of the closest intimacy, founded, I may venture to assert, on mutual regard and affection ; but notwithstand ing that fact, I can assure you, that the gratification of which 1 am now sensible, would be changed into pain and regret, if I supposed he would betray the trust you have re posed in him, or not fulfil all the pledges which you heard him give this day.—(Cheers.) Although my lion. Relation has for some years occupied a seat inParliament,he may besaid to enter this day, for the first time, into active public life. The public duties he has hitherto had to discharge were com paratively slight and trifling; but they will now become grave and important ; and 1 am quite sure he is capable of efforts infinitely beyond what are necessary to prevent his feeling those duties burthensorae, and which will enable him to discharge them not only to your advantage but to his own honour.—(Cheers.)—With respect to the manner in which my honourable relation may be found, on all oc casions, in and out of Parliament, to maintain and vindi date your independence, that, allow me to say, must de pend upon whether he has done any thing to compromise his own.—(Cheers.) —You may be surprised at my mode of stating that proposition; but you will instantly see that I allude to certain absurd and idle rumours which have been circulated as to the manner in which Mr. Russell has been brought forward and offered for your suffrages on this occasion. Gentlemen, I trust, that as those rumours, if founded in fact, must compromise the integrity of all concerned—and I may add, of myself, in particular, as having originated those proceedings on behalf of my Lion. Relation which have now so successfully terminated— you will permit me to make a few observations with re• spect to them.—(Hear, hear.)—ln the first place, it is scarcely necessary for me to remark, that it is palpably , absurd to suppose that a gentleman, standing in the situa tion of my Hon. Friend, would allow himself to be brought forward in this county, en the present, or any other occasion, as the nominee of any individual, or body of individuals, seeing that he could not be so brought forward without sacrificing his political independence.— (Cheers.) -1 do apprehend, and as you have now adopted my honourable relation, I may say, that lie had as fair a right to offer himself to your choice as any gentle man who resides amongst you.—(Hear, hear.)—Ls it, 1 1 th en , t o b e imagined, that he could eider himself to be brought forward in a manner which must almost necessa rily imply s o me pledge, unwarrantably compromising your independence, and thereby most shamefully compromising likel his own ? Allow m e to stat e the facts.--(H ear. )—When orted it was rep, yto som e months age, that Mr. L am b ton was be advanced to the Peerage, I thought it my duty to my honourable relation, then absent, to wait upon seve ral gentlemen connected with the county, th en i n London. Amongst these were Lord Londonderry, Lord Ravens worth, the Marquis of Cleveland, and Lord Durham. It is unnecessary for me to mention what passed between me and the first ta. —0 Noblemen I have mentioned, because none of the rumours, to which I have alluded, attached to them; but it becom es me in reference to those rumours, t o state what passed betw een L or d Cleveland and the other , Noble Lord an d m yself, upon the subject. When I waited sport Lord Cleveland, his L or d s hi p , a ft e r alluding to the delicacy lie felt upen the subject, founded upon the consi deration that his son (Lord William Powlett) occupied t th in e n, otl an ier d pretensions to repr esen t the county, regard he entertained personal for my h on ourable rela tion, ground of the great sehaits, jusstatedt r t e h te a that, he Ihould derive the greatest satisfaction from his success, if he should offer himself to supply the vacancy then expected to take place. But his Lordship added, that he must qualify his good wishes by an expectation that Mr. Russell would, in that case, diligently devote him self to the business of the county, and to all the duties TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stß,—ln presenting the public with this new pro duction, my grand object has been to render the speak ing of French as easy and familiar to English persons, as if they studied in Paris. To accomplish this great desideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse. By construing them into French, the pupil will not only store his mind with useful expressions, but he will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the Grammatical technicalities of the language. This is of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for, unless the learner is properly trained up in the prac tical part, he will never be able to hold the least dis course with a native of France, although he may be a proficient in the theory of the language. The na ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited in quite a new and clear manner, and the remarks on pro nunciation are collected from the present practice of the fashionable circles in Paris. The work is con cluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Versification; besides a 'Classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of compliment and business. In the execution of the whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a proininent feature; and I flatter myself this Gram mar will be found peculiarly adapted to the capacity of the generality of learners, being divided into sixty easy lessons and essays, which will prove no less instructive than agreeable. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, London, Feb. 18, 1828. J. V. DOUVILLE. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

Tire SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS> expendit , u , i th r:ar s e im s p u i c ift h ea a t s io c n ann o o f t th t:ail p lie m a a c k c e o a uri s t -e z rj: Mr. I"<sel's avcrwals on Friday last, with regard to the props:as:ion between our national revenue and serious imi treso n on the country. The Home Se cretary, tete: he recommends, as a most important object. public pronounces a. severe but well-deserved Condemnation of the wretched system so long and obstinately per severed in, by which the state of our affairs was made a studied mystery to all but the Finance Minister of the day and his confidants, and under which every degree of iniquitous extravagance could be safely practised, while objections and justification s were equally unintelligible to the public with the dat a on which they were supposed to stand. What TsTr. Nicholas Vansittart would have fainted with honor at but imagining —namely, an overthrow of the en tire mechanism of official humbug, which owed so much of its maturity and perfection to the diligence of that smooth-faced and conscientious personage— comes now enforced by Royal authority, as a mea sure of urgent and permanent reform. We are not at the same time disposed to flatter out countrymen with the prospect that the knowledge of their own condition, which is thus hereafter to be laid open to them, will be of the most flattering or encouraging nature. The fact is, that towards a real mitigation of the burdens entailed upon us by the last tremen dous war, and, consequently, towards tha means of preparation for another contest, should it (which. God avert !) become necessary, the Government of Lord Liverpool, has done absolutely nothing during - a peace of almost fifteen years. If some diminution, more apparent than solid, has taiten place in thts amount of interest payable on the gross debt, in the year 1827, as compared with 1823, a much more considerable increase has been effected in the other expenses of the Government, apart from the interest of debt : as, for example, the expenditure for 1823 was stated by Mr. Peel to be, in round numbers, in cluding every thing, about 47,700,000/. For 1827,, the gross expenditure was 49,700,000/. But in th, mean time, according to Mr. Peel, during these five years the interest payable on the public debt in va rious branches had been reduced from 29,200,0001. to 28,200,000/. So that, allowing for this diminua tion of interest, the expenses of the Government had been augmented by no less than 3,000,0001, ster ling per annum ! There is another view to take of this subject, which ought to fill the country with sentiments the reverse of satisfaction. Although there seems to be abundant credit taken for the above decrease of interest on the debt, we 111U,51 lessening of that interest was produced. It was, recollect by what sort of financial operati on th e not by fairly paying off principal, and so re *hieing the body of the debt, but by diminish ing the rate of interest from 5 per cent:, on one occasion, to 4, and in another from 4 pa;. cent. to the whole amount of 'lilOney which has been applied in all the period under con sideration, to the reduction of the debt being, in Mr. Peel's own words, about 12,000,0001. It will be seen from these, among other facts, what a duty is in store for the Finance Committee, and what a mass of deception, as well as profusion, they have ta, contend s,:th, when every Chancellor of the Ex chequer, for a long series of years, has gravely talker: of the Sinking Fund of 5,000,000/. or 5,500,00 W., as if it were a thing really existing, and not a mere piece of legerdemain,—a yearly loan, in the form of Exchequer Bills, or some other kind of engagement, and nicknamed a "fund for the gradual redemption, of the debt." To the names composing Mr. Peel's Committee, we see but slight objection. Why tv, - o or three of the persons named should be members of it, is, indeed, hard asa conjecture; but they are re deemed by otheris in whom the country may con fide. We had looked with some certainty to an its. timation that Lord Althorp was destined to b e Chairman of this Committee. Mr. Huskisson, it is stated on the authority of Lord Godericii, had de clared his own " honour and character" to be in volved in the appointment of the Noble Lord to the chair. How comes it, then, that Sir Henry Partied should be the gentlemen intended, as we hear, for that important situation,—a man of industry and honesty, as all will allow, and one more versed in financial subjects than in any other, but still an indi vidual comparatively of no political reputation oa weight, and no " guarantee" to the people for a. sound report? How comes it, then, we say, that Mr. Huskisson has not insisted on Lord Althorp with the Duke of Wellington, as he did with Mr. [Terries and with Lord Goderich ? Is it that. the Right Hon. Gentleman is less anxious about his etw, racter and honour than he was six weeks ago 0 a is it that Mr. Huskisson was really brought into tbs Wellington Cabinet, to be lowered as a public man s and therefore deprived of all power to do good as one of a, future opposition to that Government' There is still a necessity for this Gentleman to explain his conduct, and explain he must. Lord Normanby , will this day pat him Its, his " purgation." Ilia Lordship has given notice of his intention to both the parties concerned—Messrs. Huskisson and Hers rie. So eager were some people for the adjourn ment on Friday, that they forgot to fix a time on which to re-assemble, and the Speaker was forced to make a House on Saturday, when she tneetiag for this day was settled.—Times. The Tory Journals of Scotland,—forgetful of the innumerable Melville jobs which formerly illustrate; that classic land of jobtring,—have begun to express a kind of mock-heroic indignation at an Edinburgh fiscal appointment of the last 'Ministry. The facts 1 of this case, with all their aggravations,—for we have no desire to palliate or disguise them,--are tile following. When the Scotch B oar d s o f Customs and Excise were reduced a few years ago, and placed under the corresponding Boards in England, those members of them whose services became unneeessary were allowed to retire on pensions, with an under standing that when recalled into efficiency, their himself, and benefit to pensions should merge in their s alaries. The Sec . .e tary to the Board of Customs died last summer or autumn, and thus an opportunity aro. - .e , for carrying into execution the principle of this arrangement, by bestowing the appointment on one of the retired members. The Board in Scotland recommended e. eentlernan every way qualified for the ofrie h e is b ledge, activity, and experience ; and the Supreme the sitting Board in London gave the nomination ite sanc tion.(plitiatileisc a NN n ,ith offic c e r r edi c t ap t a o ble h o im f as one. of Treasury , patronage, Besides the advania a g s e th o e f stailcrtpirriinsge ofto 'thebe the Board, his pro , t c : f o : t hrn io e n iiTi toar.Yincurred. his pension of 40W. a-year.

The fortunate Secretary is an illegiti mate brother of Lord Aberdeen, who was in opposi tion to the late Ministers, and who has now become One of their successors. The Whigs had nothing mere to do with the appointment than with the no mination of the Prime Minister's butler ; and if they are at all to be blamed, it is because they did not immediately retire from the Cabinet when they heard that their chief had been guilty of an abuse of patronage to the amount of 400/. a-year?—lbid.
