THE MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 11. Although the supply of English Wheat was small this morning, and that from Kent and Essex by land carriage samples, the trade was exceed ingly heavy, and only fine cpalities could be dis posed of, and for which last Monday's prices were with difficulty obtained ; but all other descriptions may be considered 2s. per quarter lower ; Fine English Barley supports last week's prices, the supply being small, not having any fresh Arrivals, owing to the late adverse gaits ; Oats maintain last week's prices, but the sales were heavy, and only good Corn was in the least demand ; Beans and Pease are nearly unsaleable, amid prices nominal.

Our Markut this morning was abundantly supplied with prime Beasts, but prices were lower than on Friday►, and the trade brisk. The show of Sheep was large, and many buyers at market, hot prices were lower than last week. Veal has got up in price; Pork was cheaper, but not many sales in that article.—The business in the Hay Market was somewhat lively; fine samples of Hay went off readily at our last quota tions.

To Mr. COLMAN the Public are indebted for bringing forth his abili ties. Though the parts which he. so well per formed were chiefly of the coarse, blunt, and even brutal kind, he was in private life a well behaved and good-natured man. On Friday the Earl of LIVERPOOL gave the first Cabinet Dinner for the season, at his house in ‘Vhitehall, which was attended by the Earl of Ilarrowhy, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Earl Mulgrave, the Duke of Wellington, Viscount Sidmouth, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Canning, Mr. C.

FOR THE SUN. Bristol, Jan. 7, Ist”. • MR. EDITOR,--10 your Paper of the 2d inst. 7011 inserted a Letter from The Freeman's Journal of Dublin, by which 1 understand that an ar rangement is about to be made to permit the Packets to carry goods and parcels between Holy- head and Mil)lin. As whatever contributes io establish an easy and safe conveyance of articles between England and Ireland must tend to the advantage of both, Countries, I trust that this measure will not be abandoned. I am not, how ever, an advocate for the Holyhead or Alilford Packets being permitted to carry heavy goods ; they are not built for burthen, and they should always be kept in proper sailing trim. But that there is an absolute want of some regulation re specting the conveyance of parcels to and from England and Ireland, 1 am thoroughly Convinced ; and I have no doubt that some circumstances, which 1 shall mention, will clearly prove that a Post-office, or Government regulation, with re spect to parcels, is a measure that would be at tended with many advantages ro the . Public. A Gentleman (a Merchant in Cork) who transacts business for me, wrote to inform me that he had forwarded by one of the Bristol Traders a parcel containiog various papers of consequence ; the vessel arrived, but the parcel was not forthcoming, nor have I since been able to recover it. As I soon atter wanted to transmit some other papers to Cork, and some also to Dublin, and being un willing to risk sending them by the Traders, I de termined, if possible, to forward them by some other conveyance. With this view, I went to the Office in Bristol, from whence. the Milford and the Holyhead Mail Coaches set out ; but to my great surprise, I was then informed, " that the " Proprietors of the Coaches would not take " charge of any parcel whatever, for any part of " Ireland !" The Book-keeper said, that the only mode of sending parcels was by the Irish Traders. Thinking that, perhaps, the Post-office might forward Law Papet;s (if shewn to be such), at a lower rate than letters, I applied at the Post office, but found the charge to be five shillings and tourpence per ounce to Dublin, and eight shillings and fourpence per ounce to Cork, which amounts to a complete bar to the sending deeds, leases, or law papers, or parchments, through the medium of the Post-office. In your introductory para graph to the letter from The Freeman's Journal you say, that '' von are persuaded, that the vigi lant, intelligent, and experienced Officer, who so ably superintends the Post-office, never would have concurred in any measure which did not evi dently tend to the benefit of both Countries." I stn induced by your remark to suggest a plan which I have no doubt would be attended with incalculable advantages to persons connected with Ireland, and which would most certainly in crease the receipts at the Post-office. I propose that all law papers and parchnients, and also, all Agent's accounts and vouchers, should be received at the Post-office, and after the Post-master had ascertained that the papers were only such as before mentioned, that they should then, in his presence, be enclosed and sealed ; and after being stamped, to denote that the parcel contained law papers, that they should be placed in a bag, simi lar to the letter bags, and conveyed to their de stination, either in England or Ireland, at (sop pose) double the usual charge for parcels of equal weight sent by Mail Coaches. 1 am, Sir, Your obedient humble Servant, AN IRISH LANDLORD. P. S. If it is required I can bring forward other things to prove the delay and the danger in sending parcels by the Irish Trailers. Colonel UHF ~ AR has dispatched another ship (the Hero), with 120 men on board, who have volunteered for the service of the Sou:h American Patriots. The vessel sailed on Thursday last ; the men were in high - health and spirits ; and so enthusiastic are our disbanded soldiers for this popular service, that the Colonel would not have the least difficulty in raising ten thousand men. All those he has shipped are young men tinder thirty years of age, in good health, and of sound constitution ; none are accepted that have nut been in actual service. Colonel UastArt is ac tively engaged at present in raising a body of 500 men, to form a regiment of cavalry, to he armed with a sabre, pistols, and a short rifle : the re giment will principally consist . of men who have served in the Getman- Legion. A complete me dical staff sailed on board the Perseverance, at the beginninq of this month. The ships which arc to take out the cavalry corps are expected to be r eady for sea in the course of the Present week, and the Colonel, it is said, will proceed with tbein. (Sunday Paper.) lIANOVER, Dec.2B, 1818. Yesterday an express arrived in tl s ci!y, to announce the death of his Excellent* C Hint SCHULENBERO, the PriMe Minister of the Stares of Brunswick. We do not know that any event in private life would have produced a tn,,te versa) feeling o( regret than the lots of this amia ble and distinguished Nobleman, mine particu larly at the present moment, when his services were not only so necessary to his country; but when his example as a Minister might have proved an useful; as it certainly was not an unneetssary lesson to some who hold authority among us. COUnt SCHULKNBELta Was chosen by the PRINCE ItßoEll^ to take the management of the airaics of Brunswick, at a period when the Treasury was exhausted, and when every department of the Go vernment was in the utmost confusion. His ex panded mind soon brought the whole into order. His tlrrangemeuts were such as not only to meet the demands of the public creditor, but, without Overwhelming the subject with taxes, or allowing the tried servants of the country to perish for want, he provided for all fair demands as they became due; and it was never necessary for him to call. in the strong hind of Power to prevent time laws from taking their proper course. It is scarcely possible to credit the extent to which commerce, agrictiltnre, and the arts, have been carried during the very short period he has held the reins of Go vernment. ..... It might be invidious to draw a comparison be tween the small Duchy of Brunswick and the powerful Kingdom Of Hanover, hut it certainly cannot be improper to state, that Count SCHU. LENBURG, by his genius and incorruptible inte grity, would soon have raised the former to be a powerful and rich country had he lived. Our Go vernment is a many-headed Animal, consisting of his Royal Highness the Governor-General, three Cabinet Ministers resident, and the Minis ter in London. It would be really unfair, we believe, to attach blame to the Duke of CAN BRIDGE. His Royal Highness has. the high sounding titles of Govet nor-General and Com mander-in-Chief—but these arc titles, and nothing more. He sits at the head of the Council Board ; but his voice, or we should rather say his vote, is only one against three. Though Commander-in- Chief, he is not allowed to correspond with the Sovereign on the concerns of the Army. It will he a difficult matter, if not impossible,. to fill the place of the excellent man whose death we have announced, not only as regards the pro tection of the reigning Duke and his Brother, two interesting and very intelligent boys, but as more immediately regards the Government of ti►e Country, now in a most flourishing state. We si►►cerely hope the PRINCE REGENT will be well advised ; but, even with the best advice that cant be given, we feel utterly at a loss to say where a successor can be found. *** The above Auricle comes from a private Correspondent, but we have been obliged to omit several passages, as they contained severe reflec... lions upon the Government of Hanover. ADMIRAIAY SESSIONS. This morning these Sessions commenced at the Old Bailey at 9 o'clock, before Sir IVILLinn SCOTT, Mr. Justice PARK, and Mr. Justice BEST, when the regular forms of the Court having been. gone through►, and the Jury sworn in, W. SCOTT addressed the Grand Jury at COOSidetaOle length, before they retired to consider the bills which were to be returned. by them. He observed that there were certainly three cases of great im portance; the one was that gt an alleged charge of murder against a Captain and the (Meets be longing to his ship, by firing amongst some con victs whilst in a mutinous state, which he had under his care, to convey to New South Wale.. The other cases were that of an outrage upon a young Lady on board a vessel, whilst at sea, of. her way to England; and that of some persons engaged in the smuggling trade, who had attack ed one of his 'Majesty's revenue cutters, and for which crime some of their associates had beets already tried and found guilty.--At one o'clock Duncan Wells, one of the smugglers, was rt. to the bar for abetting other persons, in the month of August last, in the murder of a person of the name of Barton, whilst off the French coast. The Attorney• General applied for the prolonga tion of the prisoner's, trial, which was granted, until the next Admiralty Sessions, 19th April, oft account ot a material witness now absent its France. lIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—This morning the busi ness of these Sessions commenced in the Ses sions House, Clerkenwell-green, before FRANCES CONS?, Esq. and a full Bench of Magistrates.— After the Grand and Petit Juries had been sworn. the Learned Chairman took occasion to observe, that he did not perceive any thing to require par ticular observation, nor did he think that the Sessions would be a very protracted One.—Sarah Doyiy, Dennis M'Carthy, Anne Slater, and tour other women were placed at the bar, chargert with an assault on Patrick Misrphy. The prose• cuter not appearing, they were acquitted. The Duke of \VELLINGTON kit town on Satur. day for the seat of the Marquis of SALISBURY, Hatfield', Herts, and ordered tour of his favourite hunters to he sent down to accompany the Marchio'ness in the chace, Inc Marquis of BLANFORD will lead to the Hymeneal altar' this day the beautiful and ac complished Lady JANE STEwART, eldest daugh ter of 04 Eat' and Countess of GALLOWAY.— (Morning Paper.) CONDEMNED SERMON.-Ye•tCrby the con demned sermon was preached at the Chapel within New ;ate, by the Rev. Mr. COTTON, to the three unfortunate criminals who are ordered for execu tion to-morrow. SUDDEN DBATHS.—Thursday night, Mrs. Sarah. Inburtie, of No. 14, Upper Dorset•street, Port man-square, went to bed in good beak!! and spirits, after easing a hearty supper, and next morning was found a breathless corpse in her bej !—On the same day, Mrs. Susannah Warner, of No. 8, in the same street, burst a blood vessel, by an over-exertion of the muscles, and, shock log to relate, it produced her instant dissolution.
