MORNING SUN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—After an election which the Tories one and all assure us was a deliberate verdict of the country against the Whig Ministry, against the free trade budget, and in favour of Conservative principles, what possible objection can they have to commit them selves, by a debate and division, to the cause which, ac cording to their version of the matter, has just obtained a signal triumph ? If it be true that a decided majority of the nation prefer the measures and policy of Sir Robert Peel to those of Lord John Russell, what possible harm can result from a proceeding, the only effect of which can be to place these measures and policy on a clear, definite, and unmistakeable footing. And yet, that very serious detriment to their cause is apprehended by the Tories from anything which compels them to speak out and unmask, is apparent from the anger they feel at the idea of any allusion in the Speech from the Throne to the great questions of commercial and finan cial policy, which from henceforth must constitute the broad line of distinction between the two great parties. It is ridiculous to affect astonishment that Ministers should think of adopting . such a course. It is perfectly apparent to every man of common sense that the con duct of Sir Robert Peel has left no other alternative. To use his own favourite simile, is not the patient entitled to demand from the new physician whom he proposes to call in, some general statement of the practice he intends to pursue ? That no such state ment was before the country at the late election is apparent enough from this fact, that upon the vital and all-important question of the Corn-laws one half of the Conservative party openly profess their hope and expectation that Sir Robert Peel intends to do some thing ; the other half that he intends to do nothing. Is the country, in the present critical aspect of the com mercial world and of the harvest, to be left in this state of uncertainty until February, or whenever it suits Sir R. Peel to make up his mind ? Not upon the present advisers of the Crown will such a responsibility rest. They, at least, have made up their minds ; they, at least, have no motive for concealment. They have no wish to prolong their official existence—no wish to avoid the ob vious consequence of the late election—no wish to try a second dissolution, or any of the absurd coups d'etat which are so ridiculously imputed to them. But this they do wish, that the interests of the country should not be sacrificed to the juggle which was played of at the last election. POST.—We find in the Globe of last night what we suppose we must regard as an authoritative intimation, that the questions raised in the last Parliament by the Ministerial budget will be raised once more in the pre sent Parliament by her Majesty's Speech on the opening, of the session. Such an intimation was scarcely re quired. In the position which Ministers have thought fit to assume, no other course was open to them. They have assumed that position with a full consciousness of all its inconveniences, and all its disloyalty, and all its ignominy and shame. And they are not mee, when matters of such slight importance as injury to the State and to the Sovereign alone are conceived, to shrink from the maintenance of their position. Mr. Baring's budget, rejected by Parliament, rejected by the people at a general election, taken for the express and avowed purpose of collecting the na tional sentiment in respect to that Budget, is now, it seems, to be—consecrated ? Alas, no ! but exposed to more certain destruction and exaggerated ignominy by being re-echoed at the dictation of disloyal and perfi dious Ministers from the Royal lips of the youthful Majesty of England. We need not ask the people of England—we need not ask the Members of the New House of Commons—whether Queen Victoria will have been placed in her rightful position of dignity and honour when her present Ministers shall have presented her to the British public as the successor in debate, the corps rk reserve, the rear-guard of Mr. Baring, the d e f ea t e d Whig-Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose schemes of finance Parliament and the whole British Empire have already rejected with scorn and indignation. Upon this subject there can only be one opinion. ADVERTISER.—The wealth of the English clergy is among the secret things that belong to the Church, for notwithstanding that we have various Parliamentary re turns, and reports of Royal Commissions, the public is • almost as much in the dark as to the real amount of the Ecclesiastical revenues, as they are of those of the Celes tial Empire. The great bulk of the Church's reve nues is drawn from tithes ; but there are, in addi tion, many other sources from which it derives its wealth. The Church is in almost exclusive possession of the revenues of charitable foundations. The clergy hold the professorships, fellowships, tutorships, and mas terships of the Universities and public schools. Immense landed property is attached to the several sees, cathe drals, and collegiate churches. The clergy have also a very considerable income from glebe lands, surplice fees, preacherships in the Royal chapels, lectureships, town assessments, Easter offerings, rents of pews in the new churches, stipends of chapels of ease, chaplainships in the army and navy, as also to embassies, corporate bodies, and commercial companies ; church-rates, marriage, christening, and burial fees ; besides which they monopolise nearly all profitable offices in public institu tions, as trustees, librarians, secretaries, and so forth. It is no doubt within the recollection of our readers, that in consequence of the various statements that had for some years been current, relative to the in come of the beneficed clergy-, and the strong feeling ultimately created in the public mind, as to the inordinate amount of that income, whether as compared with the incomes of other professional classes, or with the services rendered by its possessors, an ecclesiastical commission was created in 1831, the ostensible object of which was to institute "a full and correct inquiry respecting the revenues and patronage belonging to the several archi episcopal and episcopal sees in England and Wales, and to all cathedral and collegate churches, and to all eccle siastical benefices, &c., with or without cure of souls, and the patrons thereof ;" but the real object of which was to make out a case for the beneficed clergy, by a series of the most atrocious frauds, including the sup pression of truth, and the mis-statement of facts, ever yet brought under public notice and reprobation. GLOBE.—The incoming Government is in a cleft stick. It cannot go on in the old track ; and cannot strike into any new path, without demolishing the slid ing scale, and adopting a moderate fixed duty. If by any jugglery, in the shape of a loan, or any similar ex psellent for meeting the exigency, the proximate Pre mier endeavour to obviate the necessity of grappling with the monster-evil, the parent of the numerous pro geny of woes which are stalking through/he land, spread ing distress and disaffection among the people—the event will be &audio. with yet more effectual destruction to the monopoly thus sought to be continued. At the pre sej moment the country would be content with the fixed di4es on importation contained in the propositions of the present Government. If the evils inflicted by the pre sent scale be allowed to continue, the nation, roused as it is into action by the continually accumulating mischiefs and miseries it inflicts, will rise in its demands, like the bearer of' the Sybiline books, and finally take as large a draught of justice and retribution as their position shall enable them to command. STANDARD.—The Globe of last evening confirms the general impression that Ministers intend that the Speech from the Throne on the opening of Parliament shall raise the question of the Budget. It all but avows the fact, that the measures which have already been rejected by the Parliament and the country are to be reproduced in her Majesty's Speech. The Queen will not, we are told, change her advisers on the verdict of the late House of Commons, but on the decision of t h at which is about to , meet. Having taken the sense of Parliament on their measures they repudiate its verdict, because they profess to disbelieve that it is in accordance with the sense of the nation. They dissolve, with the intimation that if the country should ratify the opinion of the House of Commons they will retire. Their appeal to the people is answered by a majority of from eighty to ninety against them ; but, instead of fulfilling their promise, they propose to refer the issue a second time to the decision of Parliament ; and the .. le v e ennin i of such of a co theurse is thus vindicated by . the Organ Government :-" Sue, ing minis. tern to be on their trial before ppc country, a n d that the first jury has been objected to, is the condemna tion to be passed before the verdict is taken ?" The cases are by no means 'Analogous. Ministers, having admitted the comp•Aency - of the jury by which they have been tried, have been found guilty. They have appealed to the . people as a cour t o f cassa tion, for the reversal of the judgment, and have had it confirmed in a manner which can admit of no mistake. The declarations of the jurors are before them, but, unable to deny their conviction of the offences imputed to them, the, pretend an unwillingness to submit themselves to their verdict until they have ascertained the exact slumber by whom their appeal has been rejected. They cannot, forsooth, be legally cognizant of their position until it has been formally announced to them by the tribuestl whose opinion they have already rejected ! COURIER.—When the late Parliament had shown by repeated decisions that it had withdrawn its coral , 'ilence from the Melbourne Ministry, they advised her Majesty to appeal to the sense of her people, artfully impressing h er M a j esty ' s mind with the ;lotion * that the effixt of that appeal would be sentence passed upon them ; t tlie reversing of the when they read in the election returns a tee eible 'confirmation audacious slt of t hat verdict, her they then had ',"ne Mtsty 13:; representing, her as anxiousya disloyalty to libel and if Yvt annul, that appeal, and retain as Ministers those whose measures and policy the nation has so decisively and significantly condemned. There is in this attempt of itself sufficient to disgust the loyal and sober-think ing portion of the community ; but its inherent offensive ness is greatly enhanced by th e a i r of impertinent famili arity with which the organs of the discarded and doomed MirAstry presume to speak of her Majesty's feelings and - wishes, and of the manner in which she is likely to act towards her future Cabinet. To prejudice her Ma jesty's character, as a constitutional Sovereign, in the estimation of her people—to place her in a position of antagonism with her Parliament, would appear to be the sole end and aim of their present factious proceedings. It is for this purpose, their con fidants tell us, that her Majesty's Speech from the throne will be degraded to the level and perverted to the purpose of an Anti-Corn-law manifesto, and that it will be made the vehicle of opinions and principles which the House of Commons, as representing the na tional mint, must necessarily condemn, which every man in the community, and the natian itself, has al ready repudiated and condemned. We will not ask what ca n Justisfy, because it is altogether unjustifiable, but we may ask what can palliate such a violation of the t 0.414. 1 and so gross an abuse of the facilities of the respon atblK -advisers of the Crown, as the supposition involves. Yerediztet .ethweourludm\ovurong conviction, did we affect to chargesdis c them with the in tentiott, of making raising a discussion oenQtren's Speech an occasion for and uf o i f t s thereby future incalculably increasing tlLe°r?l4 adjustment, as well as Placing her Nplaesti in the un seemly dilemma of being apparently o j ose to thatss sem of policy, upon whi c h w ill be founded her futire a d. ministration. But their knavish tricks will be frus trated, as the good sense and constitutional spirit of the people will teach them to distinguish accurately between the framers and the deliverer of the Royal Speech, and to reflect, whatever be its contents, that in reality it can only be considered as the expression of the sentiments and opinions of its concoctors. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—An apprehension is expressed by our con temporaries lest the importation of grain should be con tinued to an extent that might once more have the effect of distressing the Bank for gold. It is by some assumed that the quantity to be expected is a million quarters, which, at the average price of 50s. a quarter, would stand the country in the sum of two millions and a half sterling. By others it is considered, in consequence of the constant rains we have had, that nearly two million quarters will have to be imported, and that orders for something like that quantity have been sent to the Con tinent. It is known by the average returns published of the liabilities and assets of the Bank that the amount of specie at this time in the coffers of the corporation cannot exceed six millions, and the most prudent management on the part of the Directors is at so critical a moment declared therefore to be imperatively called for, impressed with the conviction that every quarter of wheat imported must be paid for in hard cash, and this within so short a period, that is to say immediately upon the termination of the continental harvests, that, without a most circumspect and provident Administra tion, the coffers of the Bank must inevitably be drained of their last sovereign before the end of the year. Opinions coming from writers so enlightened, and so well affected towards the institutions of the country, namely, writers whose views are identified with the masterly financial policy of the present Government, are doubtless entitled to the most respectful atten tion. They feel that the Bank of England cannot reasonably expect, after the offence given by Lord Palmerston to the Thiers section of the French nation, to obtain any further temporary metallic accommo dation from the Bank of France. They think they have reason to fear,. too, that the supplies of gold and silver from the mines of the western world will, from some unexplained cause or another, be just now less abundant than they have been; nor do we know that any well-grounded argument can be opposed to the general force of their conclusions. The Russian, Prussian, Aus trian, Belgian, Dutch, Neapolitan, and other loans have given occasion in former years for the transmission to this country of considerable sums of money for the pay ment of the Dividend Coupons falling periodically- due. `Whether these remittances are about to be suspended, as those which should come with equal regularity from Spain, Portugal, and the Spanish American States have been, or not, we are unable positively to say, but we rather think not. If, however, the infor mation we receive from some of the more eminent foreign banking-houses in the City is to be be lieved, the capitalists of the Continent are, at the present time, investing considerable sums of money in the solvent Securities circulating in the London market. This, admitting the fact to be as stated, will tend to diminish the acknowledged responsibilities of the Bank of England. To receive payment for the cargoes of wheat sent to the British ports, in good and valid foreign Bonds, is at once a safe and convenient mode of exchange to resort to on the part of the shippers. The continued demand for railway material for continental purposes, seems also calculated to relieve, to a certain ex tent, the anticipated pressure upon our stores of bullion ; and to the exportation of the coarser articles in question, it is not impossible that some amount may be added in the shape of coals, hardware, Manchester goods, &c. Of the latter, indeed, our Contemporaries themselves allow that a quantity has gone to the Continent of late on consignment, and, though on consignment it be, the effect of such ex portations will be the same, so far as the Bank is con cerned, as if the property were shipped to order. Of the feelings by which the directors of the Bank of France are actuated towards the Bank of England, we have no precise means of ascertaining. It is not usual, however, for political misunderstandings between Minister and Minister to enter very deeply into the arrangements of purely commercial bodies ; so that, were the Bank of England greatly distressed for a million or two of gold, we do not think it altogether impos sible that the Bank of France might be disposed, and even glad to advance it on the unquestionable guarantee of the dead weight annuity or Exchequer Bills. But assuming that there should be any demur on the part of the Bank of France, it is to be recollected that there are other banks on the Con tinent abounding in treasure, even to an inconvenient excess, with which a drawing account might be opened. Some of these banks may become candidates for the preference. An interest of three or four per cent. on their usually inactive reserves of metal would add an acceptable amount to their ordinary profits ; and upon the whole, taking things in the least encouraging point of view, we do not think there is any just cause for abso lute despondency. The state of the weather is happily improving, and, from all accounts, little or no wheat has been laid ; nor should we be justified in saying that the difficulties with which the Bank is threatened are, to our minds, anything like so imminent as those difficulties have been represented to be. XECUTION OF JOHN SELF, THE MURDERER OF JEMIMA STIMPSON. (From the Norwich Times, Aug. 14.) Public justice has been executed this day, in accord ance with the laws of nature as well as of every civilised community, on the perpetrator of the atrocious murder of a young and unoffending girl. We have heard some declare that such was the ignorance and stupidity of the criminal, that he was hardly an object of punishment, and his confession proves him to have been less conscious of the horrible degree of his guilt than most murderers. After he had taken unwarrantable liberties with the girl, he was extremely concerned lest she should report his conduct, and it was to avoid the shame and consequences of this exposure that he destroyed his unfortunate victim. HIS CONDUCT IN PRISON. From the time of his conviction, Self was unceasingly attended by the ministers of religion, by the chaplain of the Castle, and the curate. Their admonitions and exhor tations drew the confession from him, which has been already published, and perhaps prematurely,—for, how ever public curiosity may be gratified, the particulars of a confession ought not to be madeknown till after the ex ecution of a criminal. His confession is very important, the evidence of his guilt being circumstantial and presump tive, and, though sufficiently conclusive to convict him, not clear and decisive. His conduct was indicative of penitence to the last. He was duly impressed with the enormity of the crime he had committed, and manifested a desire to make his peace with that Judge before whom he would shortly appear. At an early hour numbers began to assemble on the Castle-hill, among whom were many persons from Heth ersett, Wymondham, and the adjacent country. The hill being covered with stock, the confusion was very great, and for some time there was a total suspension of business. As usual at such public exhibitions, all sorts of abandoned characters collected opposite the Castle. gate, and s h owe d t h at t h ey en j oyed the spectacle rather than being awed by it. All seemed to join, however, in execration of the criminal. The parents and friends of Self have visited him dur ing the week, to whom he is said to have expressed great penitence and contrition. It is hardly necessary to state that his honest parents are very deeply distressed through the heavy guilt of their wretched son. It is not usual previous to an execution in Norwich to trouble the criminal with many questions. No person is al lowed to speak to him except the officers of justice, and they only what is absolutely necessary. THE EXECUTION. Precisely as the clock struck 12 the murderer emerged from the prison door, accompanied by the chaplain and the usual officers. He had an officer on each side, but did not seer to require any support, but walked to the drop, a dis " Lance of about 30 yards, with a firm step and demeanour. When he mounted the drop he had a person holding each arm, the chaplain and governor of the gaol being also on the scaffold. The instant he mounted, the executioner turned the prisoner's back to the multitude, and put the cap over his eyes. The murderer appeared to stand very firm. The rop e was quickly adjusted, and the fall seemed to us to be unusually long ; th e d ro p f e ll, an d, t o a ll appearance, h e died without a struggle. The multitude made no de monstration of excited feelings, but conducted them selves with a decorum we have seldom witnessed. 'The execution was conducted with rapidity. How the pri soner had sp ent the night previous to his execution we could not ascertain nor with what fortitude he awaited his end. After eleve n o'clock the crowd greatly in creased, but did not equal that of last year. The scaffold was erected near the top of the bridge, the sarao as last year. Formerly it was placed against the lodge. 31any were of opinion that an execution ought not to take place on a market day, as it interrupted business ; and the dealers looked on callously till the awful punishment was completed, and then resumed their business with increased activity. Mr. Gidney's large room was completely filled with gentlemen, who wit nessed the execution, without expressing the least com miseration for the criminal. When the prisoner was brought out, all was breathless silence. The hill was covered with a dense multitude of human beings, all looking eagerly towards the a jufasttaed, a cold tremor in strumentl seemed f to run through justice, and, when ropethe the crowd, and a feeling that the wretched man deserved his fate. Thus ended the career of John Self, who, previous to the crime for which he suffered, had borne a comparatively good character. NEW LINE OP TELEGRAPH FROM LONDO N TO DOVER.—A new line of telegraph from Dover to L oa _ don is now in rapid progress. A telegraph is erecting fop the purpose on the top of the shot-manufactory, at Topping's Wharf, in Tooley-street, Southwark, which will be the London terminus. Another station on Forest Hill, Peckham Rye, is nearly completed ; others on ele vated spots throughout the line, at Knockholt Beeches, Wrotham, Blue Bell-hill, Chatham, Isle of Sheppy, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Minster, Broadstairs, Deal, and Dover, will be finished in a short time, and in about two months the whole line from Dover to London will be in active operation. The code of signals to be used are those of Lieutenant Barnard Watson, R.N., and this te legraph will be similar to that established between Holy head and London, which has been working upwards of fourteen years. The establishment of such a line of com munication will be of the greatest advantage to the mer cantile world. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—NearIy 7,000 per sons paid for admission to the Gardens on Thursday, to . the great annoyance, as it would appear, of the waiters. One of them has sent us a letter complaining that he lost one pound rn the occasion, owing to the strict and severe rules of the purveyors to the visitors. Everything, he says, must be paid for before taken from the bar, and where there is a call for more bread or beer, or wine, and he runs to fetch it, the cold fowls or the guests are flown, but the money is not re turned. • THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNEiD AY, AUGUST 18 1841.

A FACT FOR JOSEPU STLIRGE.---•The poor in England are sometimes harnessed together in rope tackle, to trucks, exactly as one may see bullocks at a plough, or dogs in a dog -cart. S ome of the poor d ev il s belonging t o the great Union-house, are frequently seen drawing a covered truck from the city, full of provisions. This we think a greater degradation than slavery. Ten, twelve, and even fifteen, are sometimes seen harnessed together, drawing provisions, oakum, rod iron to make nails, and various other things. We suppose, however, that Sturge and his fellow-labourers can behold these human beings, thus degraded, with the utmost uncon cern. With so large a field for philanthropy, it were better for these agitators and pseudo-philanthropists to remain in England. —New York Paper. Mdlle.

HavaE, AUG. 14. —The melancholy ia; of the six teen passengers of the William Brown had not been effaced from our sad remembrances, nor our indigna tion lessened that such enormities had been allowed to pass, under the plea, of " necessity," without a public investigation, when another and more horrid murder, without the plea of " necessity" being advanced to jus tify it, is made known in Havre ; and I much fear the perpetrator of this bloody act is likely to escape. The sufferers of the William Brown were poor crea tures—British subjects—seeking under a friendly flag shelter in a foreign country, where they might earn a livelihwd by their daily labour. This new victim was a British sailor engaged under the protection of another friendly flag to perform his voyage from Monte Video to Havre. We shall by and by be enabled to ascertain what is the protection of " friendly flags" afforded to British passengers and British sailors. The ship Leo poldina Rosa, belonging to Monte Video, left that place in the mont h o f • May, hound for Havre. The crew was composed of English and American seamen, the captain and mate were Frenchmen ; there were sixteen passengers on board ; the men stipulated for coffee for breakfast and a full ration of meat. They had not been at sea more than a week when the meat was reduced to half allowance, and two sardines were substituted for their coffee. Two of the men remonstrated, and were placed by the captain in irons, but liberated after a confinement of three days ; they were marked, however, as objects for annoy ance. On the 16th of May, the captain, after abusing one of these two, an Englishman, named James Dickson, struck him; a scuffle ensued. The third mate took a handspike, and attempting to strike the seaman, missed him, but struck the Captain on the head. The men came up, and the row was put an end to, the man, Dickson, retiring with the remainder of the men to the forecastle. The Captain retired to his cabin, with the mates, and hav ing provided himself with a sword, and given the mates a pistol each, came on deck ; not finding Dickson, he went to the top of the ladder of the forecastle, asked if he was there, and being answered in the affirmative, sprung down, and instantly ran the man through the body three times. He then came on deck, arid desired the men to bring the fellow up, they replied they could not, as his bowels were hanging out, and he was bleeding away. The surgeon of the ship came forward for the purpose of assisting the poor wretch, but the captain refused to allow him to touch him or render him the least as sistance. The miserable man soon died, and three hours after his body was thrown overboard. On the arrival of the vessel in Havre a report of what had occurred reached the police, the Captain was arrested and sent to prison ; the passengers were examined, and their deposi tions taken by the Procureur du Roi, who re ported the case to the Procureur-General. Strange to relate, an order was immediately sent down for the instant liberation of the Captain, on the ground " that no notice could be taken by the French authorities of any act committed at sea under the flag of a foreign power." The Captain was set at liberty. The English Consul having examined the crew, who, with the passengers, declare there was no attempt at mutiny, and agree in the details of the murder, demanded the recommittal of the captain, the murdered man being a British subject. This, as well as a copy of the deposi tions of the passengers taken before the Procureur du Roi, has been refused, and the murderer is walking about the streets with complete impunity. THE MARKETS.--YESTERDAY. COLONIAL MARKET. The prices of most articles were firmly supported, and a steady business was done. Raw Sugar went off in limited quantities, but supported the rates of Friday last. Refined Sugar was dull of sale, and rather cheaper. Coffee for con sumption in good demand, and prices look up, with 1 trge de liveries. Good clean sorts, which are getting scarce, are the most sought after. Rice in firm request and prices very firm. Good white Bengal lOs. 6d. per cwt. Pepper in moderate demand, and prices look up. Saltpetre rather higher and much sought after on account of the small stock. TEA MARKET. There was considerable excitement in this Market, and ex ensive parcels of free trade changed hands at prices full Id. to 23. per lb. higher. Company's Congou at 2s. 9d. per lb. cash, and free trade Congou at 2s. tlid. per lb. cash. TALLOW MARKET. Prices firm at 495. 9d. on the spot, and 495. 6d. to arrive, but the transactions were unimportant. WHITECHAPEL HAYNIARKET.

Clover, 3/. to 61. ; Meadow Hay, 2/. to 4/. 15s. ; New Hay, 21. to 4/. ; Straw, 2/. 2s. to 2/. Bs. ( From the London New Price Current of August 17.) SUGAR.—lmporters of British Plantation Sugar having submitted to a reduction of former rates of 6d to Is per cwt, have tempted buyers to come forward more freely, and a fair demand has prevailed, still the trade have not taken more than sufficient for their immediate wants. To-day the market for West India Sugar exhibited a quiet appearance, the demand was almost exclusively confined to bright yellow sorts, which however were in in fair request, and the supply being short, they brought former rates, but brown and grey sorts moved off slowly, and the prices accepted was in some cases 6d under those of Friday ; the private purchases are 370 hhds and trcs; there was no public sale of Barbadoes ; nor is any de clared ; the surplus in the stock of West India has in creased since this day week. REFINED.—The demand has been limited from the home trade for Refined Goods, and prices have further given way is to Is 6d per cwt. To-day the Refined market was in a dull state, and prices continue on the decline ; sales of standard lumps were made at 88s to 89s. Treacle met with a slow sale. For Bastards and Pieces the demand was limited, and rather lower rates were accepted. Bonded Crushed Sugar in good request at 30s for first quality.

EAST INDIA.—The operations in white qualities of Bengal have been limited, although importers have sub mitted to a further reduction of is per cwt ; brown have moved off slowly, and must be quoted 2s. cheaper. This afternoon the public sales consisted of 823 bags Bengal, and 4,000 bags Manilla ; the former went off with heaviness at lower rates, ordinary damp brown at 38s 6d to 395, good sound 475, middling yellow 575, ordi nary sulphury white 58s 6d to 595, middling 62s : the latter went at stiffer rates, and fetched 20s for good yel low, 17s 6d to 18s 6d fur fine brown, and damps 17s to 18s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—Of white Havannah the extensive quantity of 2,900 boxes has been disposed of since our last report for the Russian market at firm rates ; 31s 6d to 33s for mid and good strong quality. Fur yellow demand continues gradually to improve. To-day all descriptions were held for full rates, and by private contract some parcels of both Brazil and Havan nab were disposed of; the market is looking firm, but at present the demand is not active. Two cargoes Brazil arrived off the coast have been ordered on to Hamburgh. MOLASSES.—West India disposed of since our last re port at full rates : Demerara common have fetched 22s to 22s 6d, good 245, Nevis fair 245, St. Kitts good 255, but at public sale 47 puns 5 hhds Demerara were taken in at 23s ; Foreign 6s 6d has been accepted privately ; Cuba all taken in at lOs for good quality. COFFEE.—The clean qualities of West India have been in excellent request, particularly all middling sorts, but importers having supplied the market more freely hare prevented any further advance, the rates previously established however have been fully supported; unclean sorts have met with a fair demand at former quotations : at auction 290 casks, 270 brls and bgs mostly Jamaica have been offered, the principal part was disposod of This afternoon the home consumption Coffee market was firm, and privately a fair business was transacted in both East and West India, and holders were firm. The public sales consisted of 544 bags Ceylon, 49 bales Mocha, 936 bags Company's Java from the Cape, 57 bags Mysore, and 27 bags British Plantation. Ceylon sold readily at is advance, good and fine ord fetched 76s to 76s 6d, Mocha sold at 102 s for fine ord brown, and ordinary 775, Java 61s to 63s for good and fine ord brown, and 63s to 65s for fine ord pale, being is 2d dearer; Mysore realised 70s for good quality, which is rather higher.

TEA.—The public sales which commenced on Tuesday last were brought to a conclusion on Thursday ; the at tendance of buyers throughout was large, and for black Tea the biddings were spirited, the principal part offered was disposed of at prices fully equal to those paid by private contract prior to the sales ; indeed, useful qualities of common Congou realized id. per pound advance ; the demand was good for green sorts, but prices gave way a little at the com mencement of the sales, the proportion offered being large ; towards the close, however, they rallied, and left off on a par with those previons!y established. The quantity offered consisted of 14,960 pkgs black, and 13,833 pkgs of green Tea, making the total 28,800 pkgs, of which the large proportion of 19,000 pkgs have been actually disposed of, nearly all for bona fide con sumption. The accounts published in a second edition of the Morning Papers one month later from China caused the Tea market suddenly to become animated, and in Com pany's Congou extensive purchases were made through out the morning at an advance on the rates of yesterday of 2d to 2id per lb ; parcels for cash realized 2s Sid to 2s 9d. For Free Trade there was an excellent_ de mand, and large parcels were disposed of at a s imilar t ad vance, Common Congou f u r cash realized 2s 7tl 2s 74d, fair blackish leaf 2s 8d to 2s 9d, good 2s 9/- 1 to 2s 10d, and common Twankay 23 6/1 to 2s 7d per lb : com mon kinds of Tea w e re the most in request. The de mand appears to be principally specula tive. This afternoon th er e was less ex citement in the mar ket ; free trade, however, wa s held firmly at the rates quoted above, but Company's C on g ou close d at 2s Sid cash, being rath e r lower.
