IRELAND. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING , DEC . 13.—This was a thorough winter day—dark, windy, and threatening snow in the forenoon, changed to sleet and high wind in the evening, and now, half-past five p.m., it is as especially wet and stormy as could be. The case of Miss Devine against the old, but not venerable Captain M`Manus, again occupied to-day, and Mr. Butt, for the plaintiff, was tremendously severe on the ancient defendant. The Chief Baron has postponed his charge until to-morrow morning. The Ffrench trial is still prolonged by the examination of witnesses. T HE EQUITY SIDE OF THE ExcREQUER.—TIIH LAW COURTS.—There is now no doubt of a deter mination to do away with the Equity side of the Exchequer. I have had an inkling of the Bill for the purpose, now in the hands of Mr. Baker, the Parliamentary agent. From the stolen view of this curious docuirent, which inquisitiveness has unclosed to the eyes and tongue of rumour, it appears that a Vice-Chancellor is to be appointed— Motiahan to be the man, if his men be " in" at the passing of the Bill. There are, at present, four Masters—Acheson Lyle, the Chief Remem brancer, is to make a fifth ; and, rumour again saith that he goes out, immediately on the passing of the Bill, at his present salary of 1,5001., and comes in fifth Master at 2,0001. There will be three regis trars appointed; and for the chief of these, or, if one of the present Masters can be induced to resign, Mr. F. W. Brady, son of the Lord Chancellor, is intended. Such is a narrow outline, yet pretty accurate, of a bantling which it is not thought any one has ever heard of but the immediate parents. Some of the most irretrievably encumbered estates, and, at the same time, most extensive in the south of Ireland, already brought under the control of the Court of Chancery, or the Encumbered Estates Bill, are those of the Earls of Glengall, Mountcashel, Kingston, Portarlington, Limerick, and Viscount Gort.

The total grain shipped from Limerick to Great Britain for the quarter ending sth instant amounted to only 4,925 quarters wheat, 2,270 of barley, and 124,148 of oats. The foreign bread stuffs' imports to Limerick last week comprised 6,145 quarters maiza and 1,600 of rye. The only exports were 130 quarters wheat and 3,195 of oats. Not one cask or firkin of butter. Limerick exports in the same week of December, 1845, the year preceding the potato famine and free trade with foreign nations, amounted to five thousand three hundred quarters wheat; ten thousand nine hundred and fifty quarters oats, three thousand cwt. flour, four cwt. oatmeal, three thousand five hundred firkins butter, two hun dred and thirty barrels pork, ninety hogsheads hams, eight hundred and twenty bales bacon, and four hun dred casks lard. The average price of Irish wheat in 1845 was ls. 6d.; oats, Md.; barley, 11d. per stone ; and butter, 87s. per cwt. The prices now are for wheat, 12d. ; oats and barley, 71d. ; pork and butter, only 665. per cwt.—Limerick Chronicle. ATTACK ON A lIERDSMAN.-011 the night of the 10th instant, three armed men came to the dwell ing-house of Michael Kennedy, herdsman to Major Lid well, in the parish of Ballymackey. They called him out of bed, saying at the same time they had cattle to put to graze on his master's laud. The moment he opened the door and put out his head, he was struck at, knocked down and severely beaten while on the ground. No motive can be assigned for the perpetration of this outrage. —Nenagh Guardian. Sunday night, six men attacked a house belonging to a man named Maher, of Ballycleary. Mahar's son was severely beaten, and part of the house levelled, after which the ass)ilants set fire to the house, and other property, which was all consumed.—. King's County Chronicle. EVICTIONS.—Some weeks since we stated that the tenants on Miss Hughes' Clonown property were under ejectment, and that their wholesale eviction was contemplated. We have since learned, and it affords us much gratification to record the informa tion that Mr. Pidgeon, the agent over these lands, does not intend to proceed with the ejectments, but will allow the tenants to remain in possession for another year, in the hope of their retrieving them selves. During the last few years beyond forty families have either surrendered their holdings or were ejected, and not one of the farms have since been tenanted.— Athlone Sentinel. DEATH BY SAaVATION.—About eight o'clock on the morning of the Bth instant, the body of a woman, whose name and residence were unknown, was found lying in an archway in Templemore. The body of the victim of destitution presented a horrile spectacle. Oa the same day an inquest wis held on view of the body, when the jury re turned the following verdict :—" That the deceased came by her death at Templemore, on the night of the 7th instant, by exposure to the cold and incle mency of the weather, she having been partly naked, and lying out in the open air."—.Ncnagh (guardian. lIE LATE MURDER NEAR FEERANE.—The per sons in custody charged with being concerned in the murder of M'Loughlin, were brought up on Thursday last at Ferbane, for further examination before the local magistrates, and after a lengthened inquiry the accused were again remanded.—King's County Chro nicle. MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE BY THE LATE RAINS.— In consequence of the very great fall of rain during Thursday night and the following Friday, the mail coach road adjoining the town of Enniscor thy on the Wexford side was flooded fully three feet deep, rendering all ingress to or from the town by that route almost impossible. Several houses in Temple shannon were inundated, and much property de stroyed. On Friday night about eight o'clock, two men, mistaking the light of Nuzum's hotel, walked over the quay, when one of them was swe,pt down the river, and perished. The other caught hold of some projecting stones from the quay, and held on until rescued. We also hear of a your); lad having been carried off the battlements of Ilallycarney,bridge, which he was in the act of crossing ; and such was the violence of the stream that he was lost in a few minutes.— Wexford Independent. TENANT PROTECTION SOCIETIES.—The usual weekly meeting of the Mullinahone Tenant Protec tion Society was held on Sunday, the 9th inst., Mr. P. Murphy presided. Twenty two new members were enrolled. The secretary read a letter from the R e v. Mr. K-t-ffe, Callan, in which the writer signified his and the Rev Mr. O'Shea's intention of being pre sent at the fit.t Tipperary Tenant Right meeting to be held on Sunday the 16th, and expressed a hope that the meeting would he such as to inspire confidence in every class.—Clonmel Chronicle. There are complaints from Clare of the supineness of landowners and occupiers in that county, who have not followed the example of their brethren in the county of Limerick, by inquiries and returns as to the comparative amount of tillage, produce, and general taxation, which it is alleged would present even a more disheartening contrast, and therefore demands an effort from those interested in the welfare of the Clare farmer.—Limerick Chronicle. Fowl stealing to a large extent has been going on in the neighbourhood of Clonmel for some time past. A few nights since a woman was arrested with six teen fine geese in her possession, the head of each being cut off. On Saturday night the fowl house of Lord Guugh, at Rathronan, was broken open, and thirteen geese, the property of his Lordship, stolen therefrom.—Tipperary Free Press. COLLECTION OF TIIE RATES.—Vigorous steps have been taken by the guardians for the collection of the rates, while we are at the same time sorry that a necessity exists for having recourse to such measures ; but it is better to use harsh means with defaulters than to suffer a recurrence of the sad scenes of former years—better that a military foray should be made into the repudiatink districts than allow the destitute to die of starvation, or the accumulated paupers of our workhouse to be turned adrift on the streets.—Gabiety Mercury. ROBBERY.—A daring robbery was committed on Tuesday night at the Outerard barracks, by the ser vant of Captain Greer and another soldier, who, having taken 301. in bank notes, with a large quantity of plate and jewellery, from the gallant captain's apartment, and dressed themselves in some of his best clothes, left the barrack at about eight o'clock, and came into Galway. They were quickly followed by Constable Bodily, of the Outerad police, and arrested. All the property was found in their possession, and they have been accordingly committed fur trial.—Galway Vindicator. Lord Lucan has resigned the chairmanship of the board of guardians, in consequence of the board negativing his Lordship's motion that Telegraph. at aperrmapanh.ent legal adviser be dispensed with.—ivaj It is worthy of remark that in the comparatively short period which has elapsed since the Municipal Reform Act was introduced in Limerick, four of our council that filled the mayoralty office have died off .—'Alderman Shannon, Alderman Honan, Alderman %Vallnutl, and Alderman Boyse.—Limerick Chronicle. INCENDIARISM IN BUCKS.—A cow-house, in the occupation of Mr. R. Mumford, of Dorton, was do '-ptroyed .by fire a few nights since; and on the same . m - --•ght'a co-Ohouse n the farm of Mr. G. Fuller, of the -- 'same vtliaN was similarly co nsume d. Th ey were t h e prpperty tec. S. Rickett, Esq., of Dorton House. There is t very reason to believe that both fires woro the wilful 6e:5 of all incendiary. LIST OP SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. pri ce . Annum.

Miles, M.P., in the chair. There were also present Mr. P. Miles, M.P.; Mr. R. H. B. Hale, M.P.; Mr. Montagne Gore, late MP. for Barnstaple; Sir John Hare, the Mayor of Bristol, &c., &c. Mr. Miles dwelt at great length on the comparative merits of different kinds of manure; and Mr. M. Gore exhorted the agriculturists not to despair, urged the necessity for landlords, farmers, and labourers sailing in the same boat, and recommended that, in regulating rents, parties should look to the prices of the day, and that, if the landlord had any rents running back, which from the poorness of the times the tenant could not pay, then the landlord should be prepared to make that abatement which the exigencies of the times demanded. BETHNAL-GREEN RAGGED SCIIOOLS.-011 Thursday evening the first annual meeting these schools and the• opening of a new school, in Hare-sireet, Bethnal.green, took place, Lord Ashley in the chair.

" Conversation turns at present," says the eorsaire, "on an extensive tour which the President of the Republic is to commence on January 25 after the elections. According to the on dit, he is to visit by short journeys all the centre of France, from Paris to Lyons, and from this latter town to make an excursion in the south to Marseilles. The ma jority, it is said, has recommended this journey, become indispensable since the most violent Socialist doctrines are being disseminated in our departments." " Amongst the guests at the ball at the Hotel-de- Ville," :says the Siecle," was an Arab, named Si Chaldi, caid of the province of St. Constantine, one of the most distinguished poets of Algeria. Si Chaldi was over in Paris in 1845 when the Arab deputation came at the expense of the Go vernment to visit France. The President of the Republic seeing him in one of the rooms, went up, and shaking him by the band spoke to him with kindness. The Arab guest replied in his figurative language :—' The tempest of popular discontent has forced into exile the Sultan of France, whom I for merly paid my respects to. I now wish that the head of the Republic may render the people of France so happy that their blessings may give him an im perishable crown.' Si Chaldi is right; to render a people happy is, in fact, the highest policy." A letter from Algiers, of December 5, says : " MM. LestiboudUis, Duguesne, and Gennissei, mem bers of the Legislative Assembly, in the excursion of ten days which they lately made in company with the Prefect of Algiers, visited Blidab, Mediate, Milianah, Douera ' and a number of village s ; they also visited the agricultural colonies near Milianah and the Mitidia. Then after passing a night at Marbugo, where the inhabitants are still encamped, they returned to Algiers, and were present at a sitting of the Agricultural Commission lately organized. The Arab chiefs received the travellers very kindly, and appeared to take a pride in pointing out to them the ameliorations which they have effected in breeding oxen and horses. The travellers could themselves judge of the importance of some of the markets in the interior, as they were present at that of Arba de Djendel, where they saw abundance of oil, wool, honey, butter, wax, &c. They inspected with interest 700 houses and more, which have bees raised in the plains of the Chelif, by the care of M. de Fenelon, the head of .the Arab Bureau, and which are occupied by natives. Amongst the objects of European cultivation, which is gaining ground, must be noted tobacco, the crop of which for 1850 will be probably ten times greater than for 1849." CENTRAL GERMANY. The Council of Administration of the restricted Federal State has resolved to adjourn on the 18th to the 4th January next, when it will proceed to draw up the regulations for the Diet at Erfurth. BELGIUM. The Chamber of Representatives of Belgium com menced on Tuesday the discussion of a Bill for establishing assurances and retiring pensions for the advantage of the working classes. The Minister of the Interior, in the course of the debate, dwelt at some length on the duty of the Government to oc cupy itself in endeavouring to ameliorate the condi tion of that portion of the community. ITALY. The Genoa Gazette states that 400 Hungarian prisoners, amongst whom were several ladies, arrived at Bologna, on the sth. The male prisoners are to be incorporated in the Austrian army at the rate of five per company. There are several princes among them, who had served under Kossuth as colonels, and are now common soldiers. Troops are continually marching in all directions, but the object of their movements is not known. BANK OF ENGLAND.

(Continued from our Afternoon E iition of yesterday. Dr. ADDAMS continued to say that Bishop Stillingfleet had said that the sense of the Church was best known by her private and public acts, by her sacraments and r prayers. That was a strong authority against the doctrine laid down by the counsel for the appellant, that the doctrines of the Church of England were not to be construed with reference to its devotional exercises. Bishop Conybearo had also said—" The propositions set forth in the Articles of the Church of England ought to be understood in such a sense as is consistent with every other interpretation of the Church, because the Church cannot be supposed to intend some things in some of her public acts and the direct contrary in others." Bishop Jeremy Taylor had also given it as his opinion that very many of the minute passages in the Articles " were inserted as antidotes to the worst of fancies." In fact, Mr. Gorham himself had grounded many of his opinions on the Articles of the Church upon the rubrics and the statements employed in the devotional services of the Church. Another authority against the proposition laid down by the counsel for the appellant was to be found in many passages of the writings of Bishop Burnet, in one of which he had said " the true significa tion and sense of the Church is to be taken from her language and her public offices. This is the theme on which she has spoken most frequently and most perfectly. Even the Articles of her doctrines are not so much read as are her liturgies." With respect to the offices of the Church it was not his intention to trouble their Lordships by reading any com ments upon them, because it seemed to be admitted on all hands that in their plain and obvious sense they laid down the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. He did not find it denied by Mr. Gorham that the language of those offices, according to their na tural import, did contain, plainly and fully, the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. In the Bampton Lectures of Archbishop Laurence, to which he (Dr. Addams) had already referred, the author went with great particu larity into the Articles of the Church of Eng ' land, on which it was contended that the doctrines of the Church of England were Cal vinistic ; and in his (Dr. Addams s) humble opinion Archbishop Laurence proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the true intention and meaning of those Articles, having reference to the time when they were drawn up, and to the position of the Church of Rome at that period, was not Calvinistic. The Articles were principally drawn up by Cranmer; and the Articles on predestination and justification, among others, were drawn up in order to meet the views then prevalent in the Church of Rome, and were drawn up, moreover, before Calvin had become a theological writer, if, indeed, it was not before he was born. There could be no doubt what the reasons of the Church of England were for holding the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, for those reasons were abundantly shown in the Articles them selves, in the canoes, and in the offices of the Church. How it had been attempted to explain away the positive object of those Articles upon the subject of baptismal regeneration, and to substitute for it the language of hypothesis, he (Dr. Addams) would leave their Lord ships to judge; and how a clergyman insisting, as Mr. Gorham did, to put that hypothetical con struction upon the Articles and the devotional services, could sign the Articles and continue from time to time to teach the Catechism of the Church to children in his parish church, was a thing which he (Dr. Addams) could not understand. He should say their Lordships had no right to put any such hypothetical construction upon the Articles or services. What where the grounds on which the counsel for the appellant had sought to establish this hypothetical construction? It was said that Cranmer must be taken to have entertained views of this kind, for it was impossible he could have drawn up the liturgy in such terms unless they were to be understood hypothetically. It was said, also, that the offices of the Church of England had been submitted to the revision of Peter Martyr and Bucer, at one time Professors of Divinity at Oxford and Cambridge. But Archbishop Laurence had proved in his Bampton Lectures that those offices were really and truly borrowed from a form which was drawn up by Bucer himself for the use of the famous Archbishop of Colons in the year 1546. It had been asserted, too, that to all intents and purposes Bucer must be taken to have been a Lutheran; but, in point of fact, Bucer was a kind of mediator between Zuinglius and the Lutherans on the Sacraments of the Altar. Who was the colleague associated with Bucer in that business? Why, of all persons in the world, Melsncthon. The Learned Civi lian went on to say that anciently the Church was not satisfied with baptizing infants, but it communicated them; and he read extracts from the writings of Dr. Waterland to show that he had been at great pains to rescue the memory of St. Augustine from the charge of holding the opinion that the doctrine of the Eucharist was necessary to salvation in the case of infants. The Learned Civilian had not concluded his argu ment at four o'clock, when the Court adjourned until Monday morning at ten o'clock. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 14. (Before Mr. Commissioner PONBLANQUIC.) IN ItE NAVINE. The case of this bankrupt, a stockbroker, of Copt hall-court, has been frequently before the public, under the head of Guildhall Police Court, upon the charge of non-surrender and embezzlement. He to day came before the Court in the custody of Forrester, the officer, upon the question of surrender. Mr..Lawaarick, for the bankrupt, cited several cases to show that his (the bankrupt's) surrender ;night be taken as a matter of course, upon his presenting himself, the spirit of the bankrupt law always being to afford a locus penitentim. Mr. HILLEARY, for the assignees and creditors insti tuting these proceedings, urged that no good reason had been shown why the bankrupt's surrender was not taken on the day first named, and that it could not now be taken. The 28th of September was the day originally named, and the excuse for his non attendance was, being detained abroad through illness, he being, as alleged, at that time in constant communication with his clerk, with the view of getting rid of his estate. The alleged cause for not returning to England was the seeing certain reports in the newspapers that legal proceedings had been instituted against Mr. LAW — RANCE objected to any letter being put in, written by the bankrupt subsequently to the 28th of September. _ His HONOUR would put out of consideration every thing subsequent to that date. George Ingall, a clerk, formerly in the employ of the bankrupt, proved going to Boulogne on the 29th of July; afterwards saw him there, and took him a release to execute. Had since had frequent commu nications with him, and believed his liabilities to be about 30,0001. Mr. LAWEANCE said the bankrupt . was in court, and might be examined. His HONOUR—Not till after the question of sur render is decided. Mr. lIILLEARY said there was not even a medical certificate of a surgeon at Boulogne, which might have been easily obtained, to show the bankrupt's in ability to surrender. There was no ground for sup posing that he was now willing to make a full dis closure of his estate and effects, and his past conduct had been full of design and fraud. The expenses of the creditors prosecuting at Guildhall were already 701, Forrester's fees alone being 45/. ; and the present was a proceeding for the purpose of cutting the ground from under the prosecuticn. The case was now just on the eve of trial, and to accept his surrender under such circumstances would be a dangerous precedent. The bankrupt only sought this mode to extricate himself from a fix. The creditors would sooner have this man exposed and punished, as a warning to other stockbrokers, than receive any paltry dividend the estate might pay. Mr. LAW&ANCE said that the new Act had supplied an important deficiency in the old Act, by giving the Commissioner a discretion of accepting the bank rupt's surrender at any time. There could be no doubt that the present opposition was more with a view to the pending indictment than any benefit to the estate. He declared that the French authorities had been induced to give this man up, in consequence of false representations. The bankrupt, if allowed to surrender, was ready to be examined at once. _ The CO/dMISSIONER, in an elaborate judgment, during which he reviewed the decisions of the Court of Chancery upon this question, and the spirit, po licy, and enactments of the numerous bankruptcy , statutes, expressed a decided opinion that the bank rupt was not entitled to a concession of the prayer of his petition, having, in the opinion of the Court, wilfully absconded, and wilfully avoided surrender ing to his fiat. No medical certificate of ill-health bad been produced ; the voyage from Boulogne to England was a short and an easy one—one which even an invalid might undertake. Some time ago a bankrupt, who had absconded to the Cape of Good Hope and was outlawed, obtained an order from the Court of Review to surrender, but he (the Commissioner) refused to act upon that order, considering that the bankrupt had in absconding necessarily contemplated the consequences of his conduct, and had thereby committed an act of bankruptcy. It was essential' that that portion of the bankruptcy law which related to non surrender, and which had been greatly mitigated (from the punishment of death to transportation for seven years) should be strictly maintained. The act of bankruptcy in this case was the absconding to Boulogne, and that act was, in the opinion of the Court, wilful. The surrender was not voluntary, nor was there a tittle of evidence to support the plea of illness. Another reason for not acceding to the prayer of the petition was that a prosecution before another Court had been instituted, and it was the custom that one Court should do nothing which could bias the proceedings of another Court one way or the other. Mr. LAWRANCE quoted the opinion of an eminent judge from a note in " Rose's Bankruptcy Cases," in which a prosecution was prevented and the fiat super seded, because it was shown that the non-surrender of the bankrupt arose from ignorance or accident. The COMMISSIONER, after some further observations, decided upon dismissing the petition. The petition was dismissed, but notice was given that the bankrupt would appeal from his Honour's decision. IN TIIE BANKRUPTCY OF THOMAS GILL. Gill was a commission agent in Castle•street, Leicester square. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees. Mr. Ogbourne, accountant, was appointed trade assignee. _ _ (Before Mr. Commissioner GouLnunN.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF HENRY ALDRICH. The certificate of this bankrupt, who had been before the Court in 1839, was suspended for two years, for reckless trading and imperfect book-keeping. Aldrich was a coal-merchant in Ipswich. He owed upwards of 2,0001., and had 1671. tor his creditors. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. COLLEGE OF ARMS, DEC. 14, 1849.

(From the London New Price Current, Dec. 14.)

The purchases were 460, including 205 bhds, &c., chrystalized at public sale, which went at 33s 6d to 37s 6 , 1 for brown, and at 38s to 445 for greyish. For the week in all 3.100 hhds, &e., have been sold, and the Sugar market closes with a firm tone. REFINED.—To-day Refuel Sugar met with free pur chasers for home trade purposes ; brown Lumps realised 49s to 493 6d, and lair grocery 50s to 513 ;er cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held with firmness at 29s to 30s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—The orders executed by private treaty have been greater than in the previous week for all pur poses, and former rates are well supported; indeed, bright grocery kinds realised an advance of 6d per cwt; at public sale 6,703 bags went readily, fine yellow at 39s 6d to 418, good 38s to 38s 6d, middling 37s to 37s 6d, low 35s 6d to 36s 6d, ordinary to middling brown 30s to 32s 61, good to fine 33s to 355, low to superior grey 34s 6d to 38s 61, and good grainy 40s per cwt. EAST INDIA —This afternoon the public sales of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 5,500 bags 300 chests, went readily, and generally at rather higher rates ; low to tine white Benares realised 38s to 425, yellow, like Mau ritius, 34s to 38s 6(1, superior 39s to 39s 6d, soft yellow 335 to 375, brown 29s to 31s, middling and good grainy yellow 38s to 425. Of Penang 1,543 bags all sold; white 39s to 41s, yellow 33s 6d to 38s; and 1,200 bags Madras, brown 28s 6d to 30s 61, good yellow 35s 6d to 365; there are stiffer rates. FOREIGN.—This afternoon a public sale of 135 hhds 156 brls Croix went at firm rates, and realised 40s to 43s 6d for good and . fine yellew. MoLAssEs.-For West India the market has a firm aspect, and at previous terms a good business has been concluded. 160 puns sold—Antigua fine sold at 18s, Dominica 15s. Purchases to a lair extent have been made in East India Molasses at 14s to 14s 6d, but there is rather a large stock here. For Honey advanced rates have been obtained. Cocoa.—By private treaty large purchases have been reade in West India, and prices exhibit a further advance of is per cwt. At auction 200 bags Trinidad were sold; good red went at 44s 6d to 473, and low to good grey at 40s to 42; 6d per cwt; whilst on the part of boletus there is firmness. For auction on Wednesday 700 bags Trinidad are declared. For Foreign orders coutiaue to get larger, and prices exhibit a further advance. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with less attention privately, and former rates were not to be ob tained. At public sale the sound of 1,560 bags were taken in at 52s to 53s for good ordinary, but damaged sold at 473 to 54. For Plantation the market has be come quiet, but lower terms are not generally acceded to. 01 173 casks 400 bags at auction, a part only sold ; good at 67s 6d to 703, low middling and middling 60; to 665, other sorts 493 to 595. and triage 45s to 543. Mccha is, however, still wanted, and 170 bales realised stiff rates. Of Singapore Java 1,011 bags went at 51s 61 to 52s fur good ord sound, and at 49s to 51s Gd for damaged; these are firm rater. TEA.—There continues to bo a desire on the part of holders of better sorts of Green to realise, and pace's are offering rather previous rates. Inferior and mid dling have been dealt in with caution, and can easily he obtained at former terms. Black is nut offered at any further decline, but new Congou met with only a limited sale at is 6d to is 9d per lb ; and for other sorts the market has been done at last week's terms. Pekoe and Scented Teas met with little attention, and previous prices are not to be obtained. With all sorts the market has been more freely supplied this week, and prices have evidently a downward tendency. At the public sales of 11,703 pkgs, bidding; were languid, aed the small part only of 2,980 found buyers--lair Congou went at 9d, mid and good 10d to is Id per lb.

Thirty-one boxes African went at 30s 61 to 31s for fair ; these are rather lower rates. Of Cayenne Pepper 18 boxes sold at 9d, and with all faults 7d. Sixty bags African Pod realised 34s to 35s 6d for fair sound, and 313 per cwt for damaged. FRUIT.—The demand for Currants since our last has been very dull, but prices continue firm, and for fine qualities a further advance of is per cwt has taken place. The price of Valencia Raisins is nominally 48s, but several parcels have been sold by one of the principal importers at 475; the consequence is that the transactions have been very trifling in comparison with the preceding fortnight. In Turkey Figs a fair business has been done, but at low prices, as the principal supply is very inferior. COCUINE&L.—To•day Cochineal was in greater de mand, and rt a public gale of 80 bags Honduras silvers, prim s advanced Id to 2d per lb, and ruled from 3s 9d to 4s 3d for ord to good. A few bags of Garblings realised is 8d per lb. SPIRITS.—In Leeward Island Rum operations have been upon a larger scale this week, and at better rates, whilst the latest operations are is 5d to is 5.1 d proof, and on the part of holders firmness is apparent. East India met with a good sale at is aid to is 4d, and there are not tree sellers. For Demerara a brisker sale exists at 23 to 2s 3d for 20 to 50 per cent. over proof. Orders for Jamaica are larger, but chiefly fur home trade purposes, and sales cannot generally be made at late rates. We quote 20 to 30 per cent over proof at 2s 2d to 2s Bd, better sort 2s 9d to 3s, and fine 32 to 38 over 3s 2d to 4s. Brandy has been dealt in with greater freedom, and holders are firm. Sales of Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1848 have been made at 4s 5d to 4s 7d, and 1847 ditto 5s 2d to 5s 4d, and inferior sorts 2s 8d to 4s 2d. The sales of Rum fur the week are 600 puns chiefly at Is 5d for proof Lcowards and at 2s 7d for Jamaica or 30 to 38 over proof. limited purchases have been made in Linseed Oil for home consumption or exportation; prices rule at 27s 94 to 288 on the spot. There are Reveral buyers for delivery next year at 28s 6d to 295, whilst there are not willing sellers. Rape Oil is not in more plentiful supply, and prices keep high, still dealers ope rated with caution ; brown at 41s 6d to 425, pale 42s 6d to 435, and foreign 44s to 455, but lower rates are expected to exist. Prices cannot be quoted higher for Olive, still a good demand exists, and consump tion is yet getting larger. Sales of Gallipoli have been made at 441 to 451, Spanish and Sicily 431 to 431, 14s, Barbary, Levant, and Portugal 421 to 421 10s, whilst on the part of merchants firmness is apparent.

There is a firm market with only a limited supply and an enlarged consumption. Trade is not better for Cocoa Nut Oil, whilst there are sellers at from 30s to 34s according to supply. Of Fish Oils there is a more plentiful supply, and previous terms are not to be obtained as the demand for all purposes is not so good. Cod Oil is offered at 301 10a to 311. ; few buyers are to be met with. Prices are depressed for all sorts of Seal, and operations have been of little moment. At auction 40 tuna were only in part sold; pale 371 15s to 381, straw 331 to 341 10s, yellow 321 to 331, brown 29/ lOs to 301, and boiled Seal 251 to 25155. Only limited purchases have been made pri vately in Southern, although all qualities are offered at a reduction. At auction 45 tuns were sold at 281 to 32/, and 48 tuns Davis' Straits Whale at 29/ 5s to 321 15s. For Sperm holders ask 821 to 821 lOs for fine British, 81110 811 lOs for American, and 841 to 881 for Head matter according to quality, still dealers have operated with caution. Further arrivals of Fish Oils are near at at hand. I❑ the value of Ground Nut or Lard Oil there is no var,iation: TALLOW.—To-day at auction 951 pkgs South Anis rican Tallow sold at 33s Gd to 36s 63, very ord 31s 94 to 33i; 350 cks Sydney 35s 9d to 38s Gd; 172 cks Pe tershurgh, second sort 37s Gd to 38s, low 353 34, soap Tallow 31s 9d to 323 94; 150 skins Ibrail 36s to 39s per cwt. SINGULAR STRATAGEM OF A HARE.—Last week a hare. pursued by some greybound9, after several turns, and being hardly pressed, jumped on the back of a young horse, where she fixed hrrelf astride. The affrighted animal, not being accustomed to such a rider, hounded off at full speed, kicking and plunging, accom panied by the dogs. Tnis continued from tour to five minutes, when, choosing a favourable situation, puss hopped off, and very gallantly made her escape.—S t van. sea Herald. It is the duty of man to mitigate suffering, and not to inflict it.—Eliza Cook's Journal. Three hundred tons of potatoes and two tons of 61:e said to be sold weekly to the London bakers.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 14.—The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise kilts Tuesday have been on a limited scale, and from Caseda we have only received 500 losels of oatmeal and 2,712 barrels of flour. From foreign ports a fair supply of wheat has come forward, but small of other articles. The exports in the same time have been unimportant. The trade, without being brisk, has evinced considerable firmness, and several parcels of wheat have changed hands at full prices. The weather has been cold and damp during the past few days. At this day's market there was only a middling attendance of the trade, but a fair business was done in wheat at the full prices of Tuesday for foreign old, and an advance of id per 70lb on Irish new. Oats and oatmeal met with a moderate retail demand, at late rates, as did barley, beans, and peas. Good qualities of flour were in rather more request, but inferior descriptions were extremely difficult to move. Indian corn was again slightly dearer, and 28s 6d was refused for prime American yellow. EXETER, DEC. 14.—Cattle Market—The supply of bullocks to day was very small, as is always the ease the week after the fair. The few fat bullocks driven in sold at 8s to 9) per score; cows end calves, 91 to 131. Barreners, 4s 6d to 5s 63 per score. But c h ers ' c a lves, stl to 54d.

There was a tolerable supply of stare pigs, but the demand was not brisk. Pork Carcases- - The supply was about equal to that of last week, but the sale of large pigs was very dull.

Corn Exchange—One o'Clock- -- remains pretty near the same as that of last week• Wheat is selling at 4s 10d to 55 2d per bushel for the best samples, and on the whole the trade is rather firmer. The quotations for foreign wheat is 40s for red, and 455 for white, but this must be considered nominal, and in consequence of the continued depression in English wheat, most of the foreign has been withdrawn from the market, the holders being unable to effect a sale. Barley, to 3s 3d per quarter; oats, is 9d to 2s, Fine flour, 27s to 29s per sack, the ruling figure being 28s.
