A small public Sale of Mauritius Sugar of coloury grocery qualities, met a very animated demand, at an advance of is. to Is. Gd. FOREIGN SUGARS.—A few inquiries, but very little business has been done. REFINED SUGARS.—The business doing generally is rather considerable, and rather higher prices are given; the buyers for the Umbra' market still appear to be rather anxious to purchase for delivery in the be ginning of March. CoPFEE.—Two small parcels o f Pl antat i on and Forei gn sold st ea dil y at t h e previous prices. The Foreign Brazil, good ordinary, a 375., and fine ordi nary a 395. 6d. FRUIT.—The demand is rather improving, but no sales of any consequence have taken place; a parcel Ornew Valentias just arrived was divided among the grocers last week at the former prices. INDIGO.—The East India Sale, which now con sists •of 5,500 chests, commenced this morning. Oude and Benares chiefly compose the declaration, and very few Bengals are to be submitted. The sale commenced with much briskness, and the prices obtained are, on some lots, higher than at last sale. No average of prices can be fairly drawn till the con clusion of the sale. SPlCES.—Cinnamon is steady, at an advance of 1 0. 2d. on the last sale. The deliveries of East India Pepp er are large, and the prices rather heavy. Pimento is rather more firm. In SALTPETRE few bargains are made, and the price remains at from 245. to 245. 6d. RUSSIAN PRODUCE. , --TallOw is more firm, at an Advance of from 3d. to 6d. per cwt.

Flax is rather higher; but Bristles continue flat. The demand for fine Hoes is very brisk, but no advance in prices can be quoted. Sussex pockets are principally inquired after.

TtA.--Congous are still in demand at a slight ad vance on the last sale; but the prices of other de scriptions are heavy. Hyson is firm, at 2d. ad- Vance. Puovisiorss.—The open weather has caused a retrogtade movement in butter, beef, &c., and some large arrivals of 'Dutch and Irish butter have also tended to render the prices flat. COTTON WOOL.—The sale on the 28th inst. of upwards of 8,000 bales at the India House has put a stop to any transactions of magnitude. There is little disposition on the part of the holders of East India to part with their stack, unless at higher prices, a s the s hi pments to the Continent are going on f f r eelY• The acco un t s f rom Li verpoo l are a l so satis reoil, and, as from the manufacturing districts Is c e, 6 4 . prospeCts a re held out, it is expected that m us ess will increase.. As yet there has been no adv an • • 4; ce in prices, but the market, for all descrip ""; is decidedly more firm than a feitnight since. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, Jan. is.

Greenock, January 18. On Wednesday the 16th inst. the Hawk brig, Captain Munroe, bound for Demerara, and the Jane Haddow, a large brig, 3.50 tons regiiter, for Cal cutta, and the .21Iadawaska, also a large vessel, out ward bound, together with several other smaller vessels, sailed from this port, the wind blowing hard from S.E. During the night the wind increased to a heavy gale, with snow and sleet, and the Hawh having been beat out as far as Lamlash, was com pelled, by the violence of the storm, to put back, arid, in attempting to weather the Garroch Head, the southernmost p oin t o f t h e I s l e o f B ute, struck, and almost im me di ate l y went to pieces; an d, on t h e following morning, not a vestige of her was to be seen. The crew, with great difficulty, got on shore; but, owing to the inclemency of the night, two of the hands perished in the snow; the rest ar ri ved here thi s even i ng, totally destitute, they having saved nothing but what was on their persons. Great fears are entertained for the safety of the other vessels, as the Henry Bell steam-packet, on her way from Liverpool, while passing the rock of Ailsa yesterday, at noon, during the continuance of the gale, descried four men descending the rock, showing signals of distress. They in vain attempted to launch a ship's boat, then upon the beach; they seemed unable to move it, in consequence of the heavy surge. From the state of the weather, the Henry Bell could render them no assistance. The owners of the Jane Haddow sailed this afternoon in the Samson steam-boat, to ascertain the fate of those poor sufferers, whoever they mi g ht b e .

On taking the Chair, his LORDSHIP said, tha, notwithstanding that the Catholics had recently and gfrequently met, there was a necessity fora meeting, 1 to be adjourned from day to day, for fourteen days, • t in order to prepare petitions to Parliament for redress of the grievances by which the Irish Catho lics were affected, and on other subjects. He, in conclusion, recommended moderation and firmness, Mr. O'CONNELL then addressed the chair, and in a speech of consid era bl e l engt h, entered very full into a review of the state of the country, expressing his apprehensions of the frightful consequence which he contemplated as likely to result from a cabinet purely Tory. He, in conclusion, observed, that they should have a peti tiortior general and unqualified emancipation —a pe tition against the sub-letting act-,-againSt the vestry bill—one for a grant of money from the legislature for purposes of liberal education, and they Would also have one against a grant of money to those 5 t ° 3 whose object it was not to educate, but to prose -1 o lytise. They would petition for the performance of p ce o nt. the treaty of Lim er i c k, an d a l so f or a bill to secure . p. cent, fair and impartial trial by jury. Likewise one 4 d lti against corporation abuses in borough and corporate 3 towns and c iti es . Th ese would form the topics of Pier discussion during the 1-1 days' meeting. He gave notice of a motion for an address to the Dissenters of England, and for one to the Protestant popula tion of England, and likewise for an address to the people of Ireland. Mr.- LAWLEss said that he had three notices of .motions for the first open d 4 during their sittings.

The first piece performed last night at the English House, was a comedy in one act, entitled " L' Hotel Garni," which seems to be either an adaptation, or transla tion of " Quite Correct," a flimsy farce, manufactured from one of Mr. Thedore Hook's popular " Sayings and Doings." Monsieur Gamard, was the publican (Grojan) of the evening, and went through his part with all the coarseness, and much of the rich humour of Liston. The next piece was " Une Visite a Bedlam," founded upon Morton's elegant little trifle, a " Roland for an Oliver," but remarkable in its French garb (to which we believe it originally belonged) for nothing but the opening it affords for the mercurial acting of Perlet. He is indeed the life of the piece, and still more acceptable from the direct contrast he presents to his coadjutor Mon sieur Frederic, a performer, to whom we do but bare justice when we designate him—as the very paragon of in sipidity. AM. Pelissie (the Alfred Ilighflyer of the Eng lish Farce) was very judicious—perhaps too much so—as a madman. His retaliation scene, however, was excellent. The evening's entertainments were wound up with " La Duel," a pleammt—but somewhat stale—vaudeville, which Madlle. Sidalie kept alive by her spirited person ation of a chambermaid. The House was well attended. 1 5 1 14 12 p. cent 2 10 3 0 12 3 0 ADELPHI THEATRE. A spirited burletta, in three acts, under the title of " Paris and London, or a Trip Across the Herring Pond," was produced last night, for the first time, at this theatre. It is a lively, entertaining piece, full of show and bustle; but with no great attempts at novelty. What little, however, there is, is good. Its chief object is to put forth, in striking contrast, the peculiarities of the two rival cities, which it does, for the most part, through the medium of the Viscount Volatile, a gay dashing young man, who after being satiated with London, resolves on a trip to Paris. Unfortunately, how ever, he is married; a circumstance which stands rather awkwardly in the way of his amours with a spirited Pa risian opera dancer. His wife too, by some means or other, hears of his projected infidelity, but after a variety of manoeuvres, succeeds in detaching him from his follies, and disguised as a young sailor, (having previously heard that her husband is going to Calais, with his cher amie) follows him by the steam-boat, and thereby hastens the denoue ment. The passage by this vessel, embracing a panoramic view from Calais to Dover, is introduced with great felicity; Nor must we omit the introduction of Mr. Lissom (John Reeve) an English comedian at the Parisian theatre, who, together with Yates, as a French barber, kept the audience from first to last in a roar of laughter. Th::: burletta, we need scarcely add, was successful. Miss FOOTE travelled from Grantham to Lou den (120 miles) on Sunday, to be prepared for the re hearsal yesterday morning of Virginias. On descending the hill at Barnet, at ten o'clock at night, one of the horses fell down and se v e r e ly hurt the rider, w hil e the other began to show much intemperance. In this dil emma, fortunately one ofthe York coaches thiso n aches passecl, and the p assengers ki n d ly assisted young lady f r om her perilous situation. ARRIVAL FROM SMYRNA.--The Triton, Captain WREN, arrived in our harbour last night from Smyrna, and by a paragraph in a Morning Cotemporary, tho.master of this vessel is said to have reported that an engagement had taken place between the Russian and Turkish armies, in which the latter were victorious. No dates or particulars are given, and having been at some pains to discover if any authenticity were in the matter, we find that no account or letter by this vessel has been received by any mercantile house here which would state such an occurrenee....Cork Southern Reporter, DON MIGUEL. (From the Plymouth Herald.) On Thursday, at five o'clock, a guard of honour, composed of the Royal Marines and the 18th Regi ment, were stationed - in the front of the hotel, and the Royal Marine Band was also in attendance, wait ing the arrival of Don Miguel.. On the arrival of the mail about half-past seven, it was ascertained that the Prince was near at hand, and about half an hour afterwards the carriages hove• in sight, and passed through the town;' the bells struck up, and amidst the cheers of the spectators they drove through the files of soldiers, mho formed a line from the end of George-street to the entrance of the hotel, the road being lit with blue lights. The guard presented arms, and the band played " God save the King." There were five carriages and four. His Royal Highness's suite consists of Le Comte de Villa Real, le Comte de Mello, le Comte de Saldanha, le Comte de Camare, arid le Comte de Piere, his secretary ; Lord Mountcharle.s, and. Sir Wm. Fremantle, by desire of his Majesty, also ad- Companied him here, the former as Lord in Waiting, and the latter as Equerry. CONGRATULATORY VISIT OF THE CORPORATION• His Royal Highness havir(g appointed Frid morning, at 11 O'clock, to receive 'the visit of the Mayor and commonalty, who had expressed their wish to be admitted to his presence,—precisely at that hour, R. Pridliam, Esq., the mayor, with most of the capital burgessts, and many other members of the corporation, arrayed in their robes of office, and bearing before them the maces and other insignia of municipal authority, attended at the hotel, and were ushered into the presence, in the Prince's drawing room. The necessary introduction having taken place, the Mayor, in a short address, begged to con gratulate his Royal Highness on his arrival at Ply mouth, and to assure him in the name of the corpo ration, and of the inhabitants generally, that they considered it one of the highest honours they could possibly have experienced, to have received a visit from such an illustrious Prince; and further, that he should have selected Plymouth as the place of his embarkation : he most sincerely trusted that his Royal Highness would experience a pleasant voyage, and that he would arrive safe in his native country. The address was repeated to the Prince in French by Sir W. Fremantle, his Royal Highness not having a perfect knowledge of the English language. The Prince replied in French, which he speaks very flu ently, saying, in effect, that he felt the most heart felt satisfaction from the flattering and respectful manner he had been received in Ply Mouth, and most particularly from the respect now shown him by the Mayor and Corporation; it was a circumstance he should never forget. He felt a great partiality for England, and the more he saw of it, the higher opi nion he entertained of the country and inhabitants, In conclusion he again thanked them for their at tention. • The Mayor then introduced each gentleman indi vidually to his Royal Highness, who received them with the greatest condescension and politeness. The body then retired, being attended to the entrance of the room by the Prince. • His Royal Highness was dressed in full dress Por tuguese uniform, having five orders on his breast, which he had put on expressly for the occasion, in compliment to the corporation. Admiral Lord Northesk, Sir John Cameron, and the heads of the public departments were then intro duced to his Royal Highness, and about 12 o'clock the coaches were ordered to the door, and the Prince, attired as a private gentleman, attended by several of hir suite, and preceded by the Admiral in his car riage, started off for the Dock-yard. His loyal Highness's progress was ,marked by repeated salutes from the citadel, batteries, and shipping. The Royal Prince dined on Friday at Admiral Lord Northesk's, where he met a most distinguished party. This day (Saturday) will be appropriated to visit the other Government departments, shipping, &c.; and on Sunday, wind and weather permitting, his Royal Highness and suite will embark on board the Pearla, Portuguese frigage, waiting in the Sound to convey him to Lisbon. FATAL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION. Yesterday an inquisition was taken at Middlesex Hospital, by T. STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, touching the death of William Robinson, aged 72, which was occasioned by a fracture of the small bone and lace ration of his left arm, by a wash-hand basin, thrown at him on the night of the 2d instant, by his son. The deceased was a shoemaker, residing in the front room on the first floor at No. 40, Great St. \ndrew-street, Seven-Dials. His son Daniel, his wife, and a grand-daughter, all slept in the same room. On the above mentioned night there were three or four persons, friends of the deceased, spending the evening with him, his wife, and grand daughter, in his room. A great quantity of gin was drunk. The deceased became intoxicated, and was about to retire to bed, about half-past eleven, when his son Daniel, who had been out all the evening, came home very drunk. Elizabeth Cory assisted the son to take off his clothes, while the deceased's wife performed the same office for her husband. Cory retired from the room to her own residence. The son being in ,bed, and about to change his shirt, could not get one of the wristbands undone, and tore it off; upon which the old man, who was also sitting up in bed, putting on his night-cap, said, " Tear it all to pieces." The son replied, " I'll tear yours." The old man immediately said, " Come on —come on," and jumped out of bed. Blows immediately commenced between them, when the deceased called out to his wife to give him the poker, and he would " split his skull open," and caught up the fire-shovel. The son, who was ne ar th e d oor, caug h t h old of the wash-hand basin, and threw it at the deceased, which struck him on the arm. The grand-daughter immediately gave an alarm, and ran out to procure assistance. John M`Kenzie, a lodger under the de ceased, hearing the cry of murder just as he was pre paring to go to bed, hastened up stairs, and met the grand-daughter, Mary Robinson, who told him Dan was murdering her grandfather. Upon getting into the deceased's room, saw him and his wife down en the bed, and the son had his father's head under his arm, and was in the act of striking him, when M`Kenzie seized him, and forced him out of the room. The deceased had the fire-shovel in one hand, which was bent under his body, the other was 'bleeding. Secured the son, who was drunk and furious, and procured the attendance of the parish surgeon, who desired the deceased to be taken to an hospital. M'Kenzie walked with him to the hos pital, and saw him put to bed. The hou3e surgeon stated that the fracture was of so serious a nature as to require amputation. The deceased was told so on the following day, but would not consent to the operation. He went on as fa vourably as. could be expected for about a week, when symptoms of inflammation took place : the deceased was urged to have his arm amputated, but would not consent; the inflammation increased, and was succeeded by mortification, which terminated in death. The Jury, after deliberating about ten minutes, returned a verdi c t o f " M ans l aughter aga i nst Da nielnobinson." The Coroner issued his warrant for his coin mvtal to to Newgate, and the witnesses were bound o give evidence. ietr We are truly concerned to relate, that the SpecilY, BISHOP, from hence to Jersey, was lost on the Sth instant, off Cape la Hogue ; the crew was saved., had a valuable cargo on board, amounting, it is said, to nearly 20,0001.--Hants Telegraph.

RUMOURS.—(From a Correspondent.)—The Duke of DErowsulßE did not see the KING till last Satur day afternoon (although it has been stated to the contrary), when it is understood his Grace tendered his resignation as Lord Chamberlain, which, after a long conversation with his MAJESTY, was accepted. It was his Grace's intention to have gone to the KING at the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park, immediately on his arrival in London. On his Grace's arrival at Barnet, he engaged an express for A man to gallop to. Devonshire House in Piccadilly, to prevent his Grace's letters being put into the general pest. Though the express arrived twenty minutes before the Duke, he was too late to stop the letters. A messenger was then sent off to the general post-office in Lombard-street, where, on producing the Duke of DEVONSHIRE'S letter to stop'his letters, they were produced. The letter in the greatest request was from the Marquis of CONYNGIIAM, the Lord Steward of his Majesty's Household, written by command of the KING to his Grace. .The import of this letter pre vented his Grace from proceeding to the Royal Lodge im mediately, as was the intention of the Noble Duke.— Morning Herald. FROM ANOTHER.)-The Duke of DORSET and the, Marquis of WELLESLEY are each spoken of as likely to succeed the Duke of DEvonstituE in the office of Lord Chamberlain of the Household. Mr. Wm. PEEL, it is said, replaces Mr. SPRING RICE as Under Secretary in the Home Department.--/bid.

GIBBON AND Sir T. A--E.---About the time that every knight-errant was inclined to break a spear on the Gibbonian shield, Sir T. A—E was advised to enter the lists, and he informed me that he should engage in a controversy with Gsaaos. " With Gummi., Sir ! about what—his fifteenth and sixteenth chapters ?" "No, about his pump." At that time he was next door neighbour to Mr. GIBBON, in Bentinck-street, and there was a pump common to both premises, and some wits had furnished Sir THOMAS with a learned dissertation on the subject. When he first wrote to GIBBON, the great historian sent for a workman, but be could find nothing that was amiss with the pump ; but the first letter not obtaining an an swer, Sir THOMAS folloWed it up with a learned " bis -I.sertation on the Origin of Pumps," and favoured me with the sight of some copy, which he said, "If he could obtain no full answer he should publish, and he was assured that it would sell." I told him, " I did not doubt it ;" but, being intimate with his lady's family, I earnestly entreated him to desist. He, however, pursued the persecution, till ' GIBBON became much annoyed. Some time after I asked Sir TnostAs what became of his controversy. "Oh !" says he, " GIBBON never dared to write an answer ; he gave in, and only at last sent a message to desire that I would take the pump altogether, and do what I pleased with it.'' The Essay on the Pump was not ill drawn up either as to elegant style or historical information, whoever had been the writer of it. . ttiinoo , ,d i , Li t o l t i e; e da , : i l ni 3 t a ion t t t l a e hlei o x f sni l\ ao r in a , : , , t a nb i , .: , n t , lB " i ei r t b li ße a n t oet t fi v : e i : a e Ti it not So much has been said relative to the Genoa improvements G m c s o , e n n , fi t y s i 1 12 : o il:l e : ingenious plans had emanation from this Dock-yard, we should be inclined to drop the subject altogether.

A desultory conversation in which Messrs. Law less, O'Dwyer, O'Gorman Mahon, and O'Connell took a part, occurred on the reading of a resolution passed at Clare, which was said to asperse those who lately opposed some of Mr. O'Connell's mea sures in the Association. I C V a e th th o ie li s t (: b gishop o f Cashel evening, which Mr. FOGARTY corrected a m i srepresentat i on which stated app thatearedin D.

Rev. - Mr. RYAN, Priest of that diocese, said so far was Dr. Laphen from issuing any such prohibition, that he directed the Rev. Mr. Byrne, one of his Clergy, to state at the Thurles Parish Meeting, that he (the Bishop) would have attended in person were he not prevented by illness. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to corrects mis-statement which appeared in a Morning Paper, in which Davy M'Cleary, the chief of the tailors, had, at a meeting of the Common Council, stated, that he had been at the Association the preceding Saturday, and heard Mr. O'Connell say, that " he would sweep the Pro testants into the dirt." Mr. O'C. denied having used any such expression, and appealed to those present for their testimony. • A great many letters and Census Returns were then read, after which the Meeting dissolved.

Until near five o'clock nothing was done, and every thing seemed to promise a dull day ; but at that time there was a reaction in the market, and the betting became brisk and important. In the Derby, it would seem that Mer chant is a little out of favour, as no one would back him under '7N to 1.; indeed, 8 to 1 were laid at the opening. Folly and Larissa are rising, and Amy is getting up the ground lost last week. The Oaks' betting was unusually puzzling ; and although we have for some time been pre pared for a radical change, we did not look for so com p plete a one as that effected by one half hour's betting yes terday. At one time the positions of the favourites were so confused, that it would have been impossible to say which was first, second, or third, in the list ; at last Ro sanne and Sarah fairly headed the rest, and settled first and second favourites. This alteration is hard to account tor; we can only suppose it to be attributable either to the.lcier-':of the horses, or to a desire to make them good hock favourites; certainly, never was betting more com pletely without criteria, than that for the Oaks. —The odds left off thus 71 to 1 I'4 to 1 12 to 1 15 to 1 17 to 1 20 to 1 20 to 1 20 to I 25 to I 28 to I 40 to I 40 to I DERBY. agst Mr. Thornhill's Merchant agst Duke of Rutland's Sorcery colt (13 taken) agst Hon.
