SPIRIT OF TIM LONDON JOURNALS. We copy a long article , from a Paris journal called the Globe, which has for its title " The English Ministry," but the real o bject of whose author is, like that of most French political essayists, to attack the English character and nation under cover of a critique upon the Minis try. The purpose is an a bsurd one. It is mean and vulgar in point of taste, and might be mis chievous to France herself at the present moment if any importance were attached by Englishmen to such puerile and unreflecting sallies. The rambling form, as well as length, of the article would frustrate any attempts to follow its undis ciplined course : but there are one or two points worth noticing, for the sake of those among the French readers of " Le Globe," who might mis take our neglect of their fallacy for their justice. It may be quite true that the Duke of Welling ton has surrounded himself with men of small weight or estimation in the country, and that, so far as France is concerned, his Grace's Govern ment " can neither inspire sorrow, nor joy, nor confidence, nor fear, nor admiration, nor anger." All this, we repeat, may be true enough : the Administration, as a whole, may be. said to form a mass of mediocrity, more ex traordinary than has been witnessed by any mart now living, or described to us by our fathers ; but how far does such a fact go to prove that its constitution satisfies the wishes of the nation, or its policy their interests and their judgment ? The charges against the Ministry, relating both to the East of Europe and to the West, are framed more positively than they ought to be in the ac tual stage of the public information on either point, for the sake of immediately transferring them as reproaches upon the beads of the people of England. Because the King's Ministers have not done, with regard to Greece and Portugal, or have not yet brought evidence of their doing, precisely what France, in the plenitude of her dictatorship, would 'prescribe to them, a tirade is to be dressed up against England generally, for being governed by none but " a low, paltry, and degrading" policy in all her acts towards other states and nations. There are always, as was said by Mr. Canning, in discussing the propriety of English interference with the trench invasion of Spain, two questions to be - very seriously con sidered,—lst, Have we a moral right to inter fere? and, 2d, Is it our interest as a nation to do so ? So with regard to Greece and Portugal, the national interest must be considered as well as the lawful right. Now, if we abstain from proceeding quite so far as Le Globe has done, in censunng the policy of the British Govern ment with regard to these two questions, it is, perhaps, because we do not yet know what the Government has actually or has not at tempted. There never was a Ministry which seemed to cultivate with more success the art of concealment than the present Cabinet of Eng land. In society it used to be said, that. silence was often a proof of wisdom ; but that could not long be predicated of a man whose only proof of wisdom was his silence. We are not, therefore, defending the Duke of Wellington's Cabinet against the accusations or surmises of the French journalist, inasmuch as no grounds of defence have yet been furnished by the party whom he has thought proper to assail; but we must ex onerate the people of England from any and every share in the opprobrium which the article writer would inflict upon them, for a presumed sympathy with feelings or conduct imputed, and perhaps justly (though of that we are not yet sure), to the Alinisters whom they tolerate rather than confide in. If it be sordid in England to consult her own interest as a nation, before she interposes with foreign States, how is it less sordid in Prance to act, as she does confessedly in her expedition to the Morea, upon views of re-establishing her own ascendancy in Europe ? England lays down, and roost wisely and ho nourably, non-interference with foreign coun tries as the rule of her proceedings. The ex ception to the rule is imposed in three ways — viz. the casusicederis, the pressure of an urgent interest, and the interference of other fo reign Powers. The can's fuederis is the only one of these which leaves no option to a people whether they shall act or not :.both the last mentioned motives are purely discretional : the " glory," meaning military glory, to be acquired by a successful intrusion on the affairs of foreign countries, that comes under the head of ambition merely, and is a species of moving principle, which, however familiar to French philanthro pists or statesmen, we feel no sort of shame in rejecting as a basis of English policy. Nor is there a particle of truth or candour in the charge that Englishmen, who oppress large classes of their•own fellow-Christians, hold out the hand of kindness and fellow-feeling to the Turks. The English who oppress the Catholics (we are not of the number),. fancy, however foolishly, that they are 'defending themselves. The Eng lish who " sympathis e ," if t h ere b e such sym pathisers with the Turk, have no desire to see the Turkish empire prolonged i n, Europe, or the religion of Turkey existing nny w h ere ; an d if P' Provide for th e oc cupation will tell them h ow cupation of Turkey by any ,Christian power which might not be more formidable to Chris tians than the Turk themselves, there are not ten individuals in Great Britain who wa wa not gladly co-operate for such an object. A s , - we said before, the attacks of this writer upon th e English Ministry may be just, though we do not yet know that they are ; but his attempt to implicate the people of England in the re proach, we pronounce to be a proof_ of great ignorance, prejudice, or mallc e.— Tones. It is to be hoped that recent proceedings at police offices will cure people of thei r simplicity in subscribing their money to societies to pretend ins protect the interests of trade by prosecut ing swindlers, &c. But credulity like imposi awl, seems to have no limits in London, al - if] we should not be surprised still to hear of bands of swindlers, and societies for prosecuting them, ffourishing together on the contributions of the public. The Engli s h are e m ph a ti ca lly a ;id).- scribing people.- They sometimes grumble, in, deed, at the taxes leVied . by,the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the support of the State, but they consent to tax themselves with e great many more millions than the Government demands, at the instance of Secretaries and Treasurers to projects which are of no earthly —Acantage.what ever to any but the patriotic collector s them selves. We recollect that one of the first, if not the very first, subscription-project that was start ed by Mr. John Wilks, previously to the burst ing forth of the Joint Stock mania; was a So ciety for the plausible purpose of enforcing the observance of the Sabbath-day, by pinseenting . barbers for unlawfully operating upon the chins of their customers upon the Sunday morning ; though one would have thought that an act of cleanliness, even on the • Sabbath,. violated nn law, either Ninon •or divine.

MANSION-HOUSE.—" Too BAD."—A journeyman baker was charged before Alderman ANSLEY, who s-.t for the Lord Mayor, with having deserted his wif e an d child. The lady, it appeared, had frequently complained of her husband, who, she said, abandoned her to the world, net withstanding her affection for him, and refused to give her as much as would keep life and soul together. She had applied to him often and often, but it was all in vain, and was compelled at last to expose herself and him before a Magistrate. What made the matter worse was the unpro. tected state of their child. The defendant assured the Magistrate that it was he that had cause to complain. His wife had fancied another man, and left him a considerable while ago, and the child she spoke of was the fruit of her intercourse with her paramour. lie was himself no more the father than he was the mother of it, and it was too bad to charge him with so unreason able an expense. The complainant said it was a shame for him to deny the babe. The defendant stated to the Alderman, that although it was impossible, in the nature of things, that he could be the father, still he would pay four shillings a-week for its support. He had promised this to the parish officers, and had paid it regularly until the mother came to his master's house while he was at work, and laying down the child among the pfrs and puddings on the counter, departed.— (Laughter.)—She had done this trick frequently, and he was afraid of a dismissal from his master, if the child was constantly put in amongst his customer's dishes.--( A laugh.) —He asked whether this was not too bad. The ALDERMAN admitted that it was, indeed, too bad ; hut, unfortunately, as the defendant was married to the complainant, he was obliged to support her children. The defendant said that he did not consider himself bound to support his wife, who was a strong woman and living in adultery. That would indeed be too bad. It was admitted, upon. the part of the parish, that the defendant was disposed to act better than his wife deserved. The defendant then agreed to allow half-a-crown a week to his inconstant partner, and to continue the allowance to his child, provided there was no further invasion of his master's shop. The comphoi,tant consented to these terms. GUILDHALL.—AN IstrosToa.— William Anderson, a haggard-looking man of colour, was brought up by Thos. Green, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society, who found him begging, squatting upon the pavement in Alders gate-street, with two large cabbage leaves bound about his jaws, to excite commiseration ; or, according to his own story, to cure the toothache, being the method prescribed by the knowing " negers" in Antigua, from whence he came. Green said lie bid repeatedly taken him into cus tody since March, 1825, and he had visited Coldhath-Nelda. Brixton, and Bridewell. He was committed for a month to Bridewril. BOW-STREET.--A case of an extraordinary descrip tion was disposed of yesterday, at this office. Mr. Henry Holme, surgeon, James Wood, bricklayer, and a lad named Charles Charsley, were charged with having unlawfully, knowingly, and indecently broken open a certain leaden and two other coffins, with a view to dis inter the hodics contained therein ; that they, the defend ants, did cut off the heads of three of the said bodies, and convey them from a vault in the church-yard of the parish of Hendon, in Middlesex, against the King's peace, &e. The Rev. Henry Williams having been-sworn, made a statement to the following effect : I am vicar of the parish of Hendon—On Wednesday last I was sitting in my study when Mr: Holme, sen., now pre sent, who is father to one of the defendants, called upon me to state that his SOB, whom he represented as a person of erien tific attainments, was desirous of turning a piece of land which he owned in the parish into a botanical garden, and lie was anxious to know what proportion of my tithe@ 1 was willing to forego if the ground should be so appropriated. I made answer that the tithes of the parish did not belong to me, as I was only the vicar. I added, however, that if the ground should be laid out for a scientific purpose, 1 was satisfied that his son would have no difficulty in coming to an amicable understanding with the rector. Mr. Holme, after 50111 P further observations, stated that his son was a pupil of the celebrated Professor Spurzheins, and that he was ex treinely fond of the science which that learned person taught. This led to A discourse about phrenology, and after a conversation of about half an hour we parted, as gen tlemen usually do, with feelings of mutual good will. 1 forgot to mention that Mr. Holme told me a daughter of his had died, and he wished to inter her on the following (last) Saturday. He asked me if I could make it conve nient to attend myself for the purpose of officiating at the funeral. I answered, that if I should not be present my self, my curate would attend for me, I should have stated also that the gentleman mentioned about some coffins that had not been properly screwed down. I replied that I would apt interfere in such matters without the permis sion of the Ecclesiastical Court. Mr. Holme then stated, that he was desirous hie daughter should be interred in the vault 'of a Mrs. Haley, in Hendon church-yard, to which arrangement, feeling no objection, I assented, and we part ed. Go Thursday afternoon I walked to the church-yard, .when I saw the parish clerk, who told me that Mr. Holme, Nen. had given order.: . to open Mrs. Haley's vault on Friday morning. The clerk added, that Mr. Holum looked into the vault. I said the vault should that be opened without an order from Doctors'-Commons, as I could sea no diKrenea between opening a vault and opening a grave. Soon after I was waited upon by the prisoner Wood, who told me that Mr. Holm had sent him to know if I would permit the vault to be opened. I told him that I would not cotzent, and desired. him to take that message to Mr. Holme. On Friday morning, as I was coming to town u p on the stage, I saw Mr. Ilohne,sen., and his son, walk ing down flendou-hill, just near my p ar i s h. Bev. G en tl eman, observing that he had m i ..

HA • ts said, that although the statement as far as n ot evidence, he thought it it had gone W as would las bet ter that the Rev. (iteigleman should be suffered to proceed. The Rev, Gentlemon then !sontinued.—M r.

He did so, and Mr. Mi na ' sen., in the course of conversation, said be Was sorry that that his I would not allow him to open the vault, adding, only object was to select the scattered bones of some of his deceased relatives, and tp Fit them into a more decent form. t creplied, that in objecting to have the vault opened, I had intention to wound the feelings of Dlr. had al liokrie, or any other person; en the contrary, it . Waya.bt en m y wi s h, as far as possible, that every respec t Should - be paid to the dead. I added, however, that it was not in my power to order the vault to be opened, aod I told Mr.' Hahne that his wishes on that point could not be ac ceded to, unless he procured me a faculty from Doctors' Commons, or a letter from Dr. Lushington, The Bishop's judre. Mr. Holme then stated, that he knew Dr. eoctor of this scheme proposed to revive s LaeWagtail very well, and I added, "If your only object at the publie expense, to the great terror be to collect the scattered bones contained in the vault, I of all the " lieges" on whom such weekly can feel no objection, and I shall therefore give orders to the clerk to open the vault an hour sooner on Saturday operations are performed. What was the amount morning, for the . purpose which you require." I then of the subscriptions for this laudable object we gave orders to that effect to the clerk, but told him on no cannot tell ; but certain it is that the society of an em t ec y er a iri tt tto psre al lo w i_e any coffin to be touched, and that if made to disturb a (lead body, to come barbers continue to (‘ mow as many chins" as to me immediately. On Saturday morning the clerk came ever they did upon the Sabbath 'morning, and over to my house, and I asked him what had been done. the society for prosecuting them never refunded Mr. Harmer again objected.

The laws are expensive, Holme, and that he had merely opened the vault by that and to put u p w i t h l osses un pl easan t ; b u t the gentleman's directions, in his capacity of bricklayer. I then resolved in my own mind to have the parties taken exercise of a little common sense beforehand i into custody, and on Sunday morning having ascertained, would prevent tradespeople from giving their ias well as I was able, all the facts of the case, I collected goods to swindlers, or their money to societies the evidence together, and proceed ed yesterday mor n i ng (Monday) to town, i n order to bring the offending parti es who pretend to exterminate them.—Morning tojustice, and to quiet, if possible, the sensation which Herald. the affair had excited in Hendon and Are neighbourhorid adjoining. I went to Doctors' Commons, and I called at the office of the Bishop of London, after which I waited upon Dr. Haggard, who said -- Mr. Harmer—The Magistrate cannot hear what passed between you and Dr. Haggard. We are aware what steps you felt it your duty to take. If you have any thing fur ther to state regarding the defendants, be so good as to proceed. " I have nothing further to state," said the witness, " excepting that on my return to Hendon I saw the de fendant Chareley in the church-yard, and I asked him how he could possibly have been so wicked as to assist in such a shameful warm. He replied that he had been incau tiously led into it by Mr. Wood, and that he (Wood) had taken a hatchet and clove open the leaden coffin; that he (Chareley) then got a chissel, aid, with it forced open the other two coffins. One of the coffins he said had a plate en it containing the name of Mrs. Idannah Holme,' and the other coffin was marked John Leigh Haley.'" Mr. HALLS asked if Mrs. Hannah Hahne had been in any way related to Mr. Holme the defendant ?—The Rev. Mr. Williams replied that Mrs. Hohne, whose body had been disinterred, and whose head had been cut off; was mother to Mr. Henry Holme now present. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—What ! did he cut off the head of his own mother ?—The witness replied in the affirma tive, and Mr. Harmer admitted the fact. John Armitage was then sworn. He said lie was by trade a smith and farrier, and that he resided at Hendon. He was passing through Hendon church-yard on Saturday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, when he saw a vault open and three persons in it. One of the persona whom he saw was Mr. James Wood, Chareley was the second, and Mr. Holme was the third. Witness saw Mr. Holme open one of the coffins, and ra'se up the corpse, which he supported with an iron brick-cleaver, which he held in his hand. Witness then saw the defendant, as if he was feeling about the coffin, or it might be cutting something ; the defendant then took a head from the coffin and put it into a hag ; he then walked away, taking the bag with him. Mr. Hara.s—Did the defendant 'Holme take no more than one head away with him ? Witness—He only took one head at that time. The coffin lay at the left-hand coiner of the vault. The defendant Holme and his father had a conference with Mr. Harmer at this part of the evidence. Mr. Harmer then asked the Rev. Mr. Williams if he was not aware that this vault was the exclusive property of Mr. Rolme sen. ? The Rev. Gentleman replied that he never knew the vault as the exclusive property of any one. He could positively assert that it was not a " faculty vault." Mr. Mime, sen.—l know this, that my family have paid far the use of it. The Rev. Mr. Williams replied, that as a m•►tter of common feeling he should have bad no hesitation in com plying with the dfrsire of any member of Mr. Holme's family to be buried is that vault, but he certainly could not recognize any right which he (Mr. Holme) might claim, either directly or indirectly, to the vault as family property. John Connolly was then swot n. He said he w:s a hair dresser, and lived in Hendon. On Saturday morning he was passing through Hendon Church-yard, between seven and eight o'clock, when he saw the defendants, Wood and Charsley, open a coffin in a vault. Saw the defendant lme remove a shroud from a body, - and raise the body up and support it with something which be held in his hand. Witness saw the defendant Holme hold a knife in his right hand and cut the head off the (lead body. The defendant then removed the skull to the further end of the coffin, and put it into a blue bag. The defendant then earns out of the vault and went away, taking the bag with him. In some time after defendant returned to the vault,' and witness saw him take another skull from a coffin, and wipe it with a white handkerchief or napkin which he held in his hand. The lid of the coffin from which this skull had been taken was bent as if it had been broken open. The bag which the defendant bad with him was the same which witness had before observed, but it appeared fuller than when witness first saw it. Witness saw the defendant Holme leave the vault a second time, carrying the bag with him. James Birch was then examined.— Ile stated that he lived as servant with Mr. Adams, of Hendon. About half-past seven o'clock on Saturday morning, he saw two men (Wood and Charsley) come out of a vault in Hendon church-yard. Another person was in the vault, but wit • ness could not say if the defendant Hahne was that person. The gentleman who was in the vault said to the 'other two, " You may go up now, I don't want you." Witness then saw the gentleman take a head from the coffin and puNh it down towards the foot of the coffin. He then took the head up and put it into a blue bag. This witness, in every other respect, confirmed the evidence of the two last witnesses. This was the evidence against the defendants ; and the several depositions having been read over and signed by the witnesses, Mr. Harmer proceeded to address the Magistrate on behalf of Mr. Holme, for whom he said he was instructed to appear. His client was a young man of great scientific knowledge, who united to considerable acquirements an ardour amounting almost to enthusiasm for the profession to which he belonged. It so happened, that in his family there existed an inclination to a particular complaint of the brain ; and his client's pursuits were very naturally directed to endeavour, if possible, to ascertain the seat of that disorder, by examining the heads of sonic of his de ceased relatives. It was quite clear, that in endeavouring to ascertain this fact, he could mean no disrespect to the dead, because one of the heads which he meant to exas mine was that of hie own mother. Mr. Hahne was in fluenced solely by a love for the science which he followed, and which he was anxious should be made through him the happy medium of benefiting his species. if he, in endeavouring to forward that object, had unknowingly offended against the laws, he was prepared to meet the consequences, whatever they might be, without shrinkiug from them. If the Magistrates required, Mr. Holme was prepared with bail. A solicitor, who appeared 011 behalf of the parish of Hendon, hoped that the magistrate would require heavy hail, as the offence was one of a most heinous nature. Mr. Harmer warmly repelled the term " heinous," and said it did not at all apply to his client, who was guilty of no act of moral turpitude. Sir E. !Elwin: suggested the propriety of postponing the case in ord er to receive evidence as to the state of the bodies. Mr. liat.r.s was of opinion that evidence to that effect would not be necessary, as the witnesses had distinctly sworn to the cutting off and carrying away the heads. Mr. Harmer hoped that if bail were required it would be merely nominal, It would have been much better for all parties, and for the public also, if the transaction had been suffered to rest. Mr. HALLS said that having made up his mind to hold the parties 'to bail, be should refrain from using any ob servations that might tend to prejudice their ease hereafter. With respect, however, to the relative guilt of the parties upon which Mr. Harmer appeared to dwell, he must say, that the two defendants to whom he had alluded appeared to have taken a part in the business with a full knowledge of what they were called upon to do, He should there fore call upon the three defendants to find bail for the mis demeanour, themselves in the sum of 40/. each, and two sureties each in the sum of 20/. The Magistrate added, that he thought it was a case which the parish of Hendon were called upon to prosecute. The solicitor, who appeared for the parish, said it was the intention of the churchwardens and the other parish officers to prosecute the parties at their own expence. Nu conception could be formed of the state of excitement into which the parish had been thrown. The parties then retired, and Mr. Holme, sen. and Mr. Harmer became Securities for Mr. Ho lme, jun. The same sureties were then offered for the other defendants, and ac cepted by the Magistrates. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday a little girl named Cathe. rine Dalton, between 13 and 14 years of age, was ex. amined before the presiding Magistrates, M. SwAitY and H. WrsroN, Esqrs., on a charge of stealing an inkstand, valve twopence, a small pin -cushion, about the same value, and a small red Morocco card case, the property of a person named Shew, with whom she lived as servant. Mr. Shew, who is an auctioneer, siad, that the prisoner had been for some time in his service. After receiving her wages, she absconded from his house, and he then missed several articles, and among them those above stated, which he valued at 6d. The girl's mother declared that her daughter had run away from the complainant's service, owing to his having taken improper liberties with her person ; and that when he ascertained a warrant was applied for against him, for his conduct towards the girl, he immediately had her taken into custody on the present charge, to avert the conse quences that might arise to him iu the event of his being apprehended. Mr. Staples, the Chief Clerk, stated that the prisoner and her mother had been at the office previously to the complainant, and described the treatment she experienced whilst in his service. The girl, in answer to the charge, protested that the trifling articles just enumerated, and which she was now charged with having stolen, were given to her by her master on different occasions, after he had abused her per son. As to her baring absconded, she did not deny that ; and the reason of her doing so was on account of the com plainant's conduct towards her. The complainant admitted that he had made her some presents, but not the articles in question. • Mr. SWAREY—And do you admit having taken indecent liberties with her person ?—Complainant —She encouraged me. She used to come to my bed. I don't mean to deny that I have slept with her. Os this declaration being made by the complainant, who is a grey-headed man, apparently sixty years of age, not only the Magistrates, but every individual in the office who heard it, appeared disgusted with the depravity evinced by the man who ought to have been- the protector, and not the destroyer of the morals of a mere child. The MAGISTRATES said, a more iniquitous case had never come before them. Had the girl applied when he brat com menced his brutal attacks upon her virtue, a warrant would certainly have been granted against him ; as, however, the child had not done so, it was fortunate for him to have es caped the punishment he so well deserved. The complainant here endeavoured to extenuate his con duct, by stating that she was a very forward girl, and that she had acknowledged to him she was in the habit of visit ing the gypsies at Norwood. The Magistrates having given the complainant such a lecture upon the immorality of his conduct as he will not easily forget, if he is possessed of common feeling, then discharged the girl, and recommended the mother to obtain her admission into the Magdalen, or some other asylum, as a step towards reclaiming her, after the contamination of living in the service of a man who had availed himself of her youth to ruin her. The relatives of the girl were so incensed at the com plainint's conduct, that it was with difficulty they were restrained from pulling him to pieces. On getting into the street he was followed by a mob, who hooted him as he went along. ENGLISH AND SCOTCH MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of Tuesday.) SUGAR.—The Sugar Market bad a languid ap pearance last week, yet on the close of business, on estimating the sales, they exceeded 3,000 hhds. for the week. The prices were without alteration. The comparative stock of Muscovades is about 3,500 less than last week; it is now only 2,297 hhds. and tees. more than in the corresponding week, in 1827. The deliveries during last week, including the London Dock list, are about 4,000 hhds. and tees, being about 600 more than the same week in 1827. Notwithstanding this favourable state of the stock and deliveries, the market opened heavily this morning owing to the large entries of Sugars yes terday at the Custom-house; there were 21 ships with 7,100 hhds. and tees. Sugars. As the day pro ceeded the request for Muscovades rather increased, and at the close of the market the estimated sales were SOO hhds. and tees. The prices are unvaried. In the Refined Market last week there was little va riation. Brown lumps were not so much in demand, but the prices were firmly maintained. Middling Lumps and Loaves were taken off freely, as the holders were induced to sell on account of the plen tiful supply. Fine goods for home consumption were rather heavy. Molasses without alteration. There was not the slightest alteration in the Refined Market this afternoon ; the demand appeared rather languid. FOREIGN SUGARS.—The sales last week were of Havannab, 100 chests (out of our stock 300), yel low at 38s. and all the white at market, about 230 chests, sold at 495. The inquiries for Brazil Sugars continue, but our stock consists entirely of the in ferior descriptions. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—By public Sale last week 3,344 bags Mauritius, nearly the whole taken in, no buyers; the few good yellow which sold went off at full prices. There were few purchases of Bengal Sugars on account of the near approach of the In dia House sale. WEST INDIA Mot.tssEs.—There are no pur chascs of Molasses to report; the last sales were ordinary at 235., good Dominica 245. Bd. The stock here is 3,563 casks, the deliveries for home con sumption last week 112 casks. COFFEE.—There was little alteration in the Coffee market last week ; the coloury descriptions continue selling at very high prices; the demand general and extensive. The ordinary and mixed un clean descriptions sold uncommonly low. Foreign Coffee unvaried, good ordinary pale St. Domingo 345. The inquiries after Coffee by private con tract appear to he reviving, particularly since the ad vance of the Corn Market. About 500 bags were repprted sold last week about 335. Gd., and a parcel yesterday of nearly the same quantity at 3.55. There were three public tales of Coffee this afternoon, 360 casks and brls., 95 bags British Plantation, 360 bags Foreign. The former consisted chiefly of fine ordi nary, and fine ordinary Dominica and Jamaica; the Foreign, 120 bags Brazil good ordinary, and the re mainder good ordinary La Guayra, all sold 335. Gd.; the Brazil was taken in at 345. 6d. Most of the Dominica sold, fine ordinary 435. a 445., fine fine ordinary 455. a 505., ordinary middling 545.; Ja maica at full prices. The market is improving. Rum, BRANDY, and HOLLtNDs.—The new Go vernment Contract announced for 100,000 gallons of Rum, has again given an impulse to the market, and the prices are more firm. The purchases last week were nearly 500 puncheons, principally low Leewards, proofs and two over at 2s. 2d. (and small parcels free on board at the same proportionate prices); four to seven over sold 2s. 3d. a 2s. sd. Some fine Jamaica for home consumption sold about 4s. It , is apparent that the orders for shipment un executed are considerable, but they appear chiefly to be for small parcels. The best marks of Brandy have been in some demand, but the stock of that descrip tion is inconsiderable, and the purchases reported are limited. We are still without supplies of Geneva. ITE4P, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—Tho demand for Tallow has been general, and rather extensive, and the advance in Russia appeared to give a new im puke to the market yesterday ; the prices are fully 6d. per cwt. higher. In Hemp or Flax little varia tion, the latter is rather higher. The letters from St. Petersburgh are dated to the Ist inst. Tallow 110. exchange, 10d. Four to 6,000 casks of Tallow bought. INDIGooLiThe trade was busily inspecting the Indigo of the next sale, the purchases are therefore inconsiderable; no alteration in the prices can be stated.

The demand for Raw SUGARS this week has been limited, the sales amount to 250 hhds. and trs., and prices are without any alteration; the holders are firm in their prices. Nothing done in COFFEE, PIMENTO, or GINGER. Small parcels of Carolina RICE wore taken by the grocers at 18s. in bond. About 50 puns. of Jamaica Rum were taken for exportation at 3s. 4s. for 16 0. P.; and 40 puus. of Leewards at 2s. for proofs. The transactians in COTTON during the week have not been extensive; the sales amount to SO2 packages, and prices are without alteration. The particulars are, 21 Sea Island, 141 d.; 343 Boweds, 6td. a 7d.; 158 Orleans, 64d. a Bd.; 170 Egyp- tian, 81d. a Bfd. ; 10 Demerara, 81; 100 Surat 4+l.

The transactions in AsnEs have been verylimited, and the sales confined to retail parcels of Montreal Pots at 295. a 305.; and Pearls, 30s. a 31s. No sales worthy of remark done In TOBACCO; the recent import of new is inferior to the Old ; good and fine Leaf and stripes may be quoted at sd. a 6d. Y. C. TALLOW is selling steadily at4os. Fists Otis are selling at 24/. a 24/. 10s. for Whale ; and Pale Seal 254 per tun, old measure. During the week the weather has been unfavour able for securing the Crops; a great proportion of the Oat Crop is still in the field, and- reports from Ireland being r a th er unfavourable, has created a speculative demand for Old OATS, and prices have advanced 6d. per boll ; the arrivals of new are still very limited. In WHEAT there has not been much business done, prices however remain steady. The inconsiderable supply of New BARLEY met a ready sale at fully, former rates. No all eration pgA SE. Indigo were very unfavourable up to the end of April : after that time there had been some rains, but all accounts agree that the crop cannot be expected to be an average one. In consequence of the ac counts from India, yesterday, considerable portions of Indigo on sale have been withdrawn by the owners : no other effect was produced. There are now about 8,000 chests Indigo declared for sale, and nearly 3,000 chests more are expected. SALTPFTRL—There are few purchases of Salt petre to report; the prices are unvaried. Otis.—The demand for Oil has been very general, particularly for Seed Oils. _ COTTO;I.—The Cotton Market has•been languid, the prices are little varied. The sales`for the week, ending yesterday inclusive, are only 150 Surats at 4d. TORACCO.—The purchases of small parcels by the trade are considerable; they are chiefly of good qualities, which are scarce, and for which rather higher prices are obtained. About 200 hhds. of old Virginia are also sold, at 2i-d. a 2id. per lb. Rtes. —Rice was very dull till yesterday, when the sudden rise in the Corn Market occasioned Rice to be much inquired after, but few actual sales are reported; the purchases cannot now be made so low as last week ; we think the advance asked is 6d. to ls. per cwt. PROVISIONS.--In Beef or Pork there is no alteration ; the contractors who have not fulfilled the late Government contract are allowed to be free from their engagements on the payment of IL per cask ; the latter has been given by the merchants to a large amount. The arrivals of Butters are very extensive, the prices are rather lower; arrivals last week 22,107 firks. Irish, 4,117 casks Foreign. The arrivals of Bacon last week were only 45 bales; there is little alteration in the latter. Hops.—The duty fell suddenly from 205,0001. to 175,0001., and to-day it is 185,0001. The pick ing has become general, but the Hops do not yield so well as was generally anticipated, and they ap pear in several places discoloured. FRUlT.—Currants are inquired after; other Fruit is in limited demand and dull. SPICES.—There is no variation in Spices; there is more demand. WOOL-247 bales Australian Wool sd. to 2s.

STAG HUNT AT KILLARNEY. (From the Cork - Constitution of Satarday.) • In consequence of its being known that Stag Hunt was to take place on Thursday, %I' numerous visitors of the Lakes, as well as th resident gentry, embarked at an early hour e Ross Castle, for the purpose of being in time 0 the Eagle's Nest, the appointed rendevon' Within the memory of the oldest inhabitant 01 Killarney, no assemblage of visitors ever, at en, one time, equalled those who joined in the deY l sports on the present occasion. On the previoul day the foresters had tracked a small herd of deer to the back of Glena Mountain, and precisely 01 twelve o'clock, on a signal from INTr. .1 011 ° O'Connell, of Grena, his splendid pa ck 0 hounds was laid on. In a short time till challenged, and suc c eed e d i n rous i ng , a ob a buck, of traditional speed. After showing hin T self for a moment t o th e asse mbl e d t h ou san i l he bent his cou rse i n splendid style, followe' closely by the hounds in full cry along the iene l side of the Long Range, deviating a little to wards the Purple Mountain, and finally taking his way towards the Upper Lake, through deep dell, thickly wooded, where he was for sent time lost even to the huntsmen, who topped sh i j surrounding mountain, and who, distinguishe' by their scarlet uniform, and occasionally awaken.' ing the distant echoes by the winding of the horns, added much to the delights of the daY While these scenes were passing on shore, the beauteous serpentine river to the Upper Lai was the theatre of much enjoyment. 00 it being discovered that the stag had made t o wards the Purple Mountain, the boats Wer t immediately directed to the expected seer ° of that day's sport—the Upper Laks•-• Foremost amidst the competitors was the eigh t oared barge of the master of the day's sport, At John O'Connell, with his amiable and beautify family. After nearly three hours of incense d pursuit amongst the mount a in s , th e stag er. hounds, evidently ex h a u s t e d, were seen ca reeryi along the ran ge o f hill s w hi c h t erm i nate at ft' Eagle's Nest. Here numerous parties had t 1 embarked, and taken their stations on eve' eminence at which they could arrive ; the 4 ; clivity of the surrounding mountains s; covered with anxious groups of s pectate/f t and equestrians and carriages of every 4 .. 1 , 1 scription cro w d e d th e new roman ti c l'°*;,, which skirts th e Middl e an d Upper LeY'„i and stretches along to Kenmare. Arrir ts once more amidst his acc u s t ome d hall'' f ; the lord of the forest appeared to inhale t e at vigour with the breezes of his na ti ve hills, P it being closely pressed by some of th e staunelle% hounds, he made head to the right of the Eat , Nest, and was for some time lost to the vi e • e having taken to harbour in a grove of rria.iP' ee oaks. In the interval of his temporary absel the spectators were gratified by the view 0 ' young hart, who, affrighted by. the untli e i l sounds that arose on every side, soug h t to _ k the soil, and find shelter in Turk Mountain ; 1311 was baffled in his endeavours by some of Pr a peasantry, who, mistaking him for the hun t % stag, sent him full speed up the intricate r o f of Glena. In a few moments, the soundingf, a recheat announced the re-appear a nce of the ° ject of pursuit, and he suddenly broke W o e ; and in dismay dashed down to th e b ase of cb Eagle's Nest, evidently unable to afford In u ty further sport, and so much exhausted as to be a; for mercy ofany hound within view. He continuen o f some minutes an object of admiration to suel: vti .. the spectators as had never before had an opr:j nity to contemplate the beauteous symmetry s lordly bearing of a full grown Red Deer. ie taper and sinewy limbs . , his ample chest, his twi' ls neck, and wid e s p rea di ng ant l ers , were su bje c be for the pencil, an d he was welcomed by es cheers of thousand s . A mazement, as well 0 exhaustion, drove him to see k s h e l ter i n a ellf ra ;, of brushwood, where he was immediately 1 4 , rounded by the peasantry, and secured with ne r with with the intention of having him rest or ed to s', s mountains and liberty, by some timid fair I f , hand—but, alas ! his career was at an end ; by the rude treatment of those into whose hands he had fallen, his spine was grievouslY 1 " e jured, and his death, to the regret of every d a y who witnessed th e n o bl e sport o f t h e d a y s l the lamented result. he t The evenin g was no t l ess j oyous t han , g day. Those visitors who, during the morning, sports had refrained from 'awakening the In qualled echoes of th e L a k e i, th roug h a W el grounded fear of disturbing the chace, or seers g . the deer, now, in successive canno nadid: i amazed. and delighted the hearers. The h° l and bugle were heard blending a thousand r:3l. sponses from one blast, and the approach ofcl i i , ner hour was announced to various parti s As i, shots, or trumpets, from the surrounding iale7 srt , Inuisfallen appeared to be the principal rou ge as not less than a thousand persons could ro uge been, in various groups, at dinner, at one Per i° ,„ in the different alcoves and recesses , alli t h b - e priated to that purpose. In the e ven ing merry dance was kept up with spirit whilst 0 , 3 ) 8 '; light lasted, and it was gratifying to find, when silence had been restored to the mounf 2lll ' and peace to the waters, no accident had ° , c " curred which could in the slightest degree " e. tract from the delights of a " live-long gin' mer's day."
