SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. At twenty minutes past 9 o'clock last night, in Rutland house, Arlington-street, died, his Royal Highness Frede rick, Duke of York and Albany, in the 64th year of his age.. The painful indisposition of his Royal Highness has long been a subject of notoriety and regret. It had for some time assumed a form which indicated a general break ing up of the constitution, and which, in their despair of a complete recovery, left the • medical attendants of his Royal Highness no hope but that, of administering some partial mitigation to sufferings in their nature too powerful for human skill to contend with, The deceased . Prince, whoie kindness of disposition rendered him popular in his lif e ..da 4 e, and will make his death generally lamented, had been; what . is termed a free liver. He liked wine—he loved play—and he had other tastes,unfortunately too often iniulged.in by men of all professions, but of which thi . .ioultivation is perhaps less excusable in many other wall; of , life than in those of a Prince, beset from infancy. }) , ,i the Seduetions of a Court—and the soldier, to whom, if his mind be not of more than ordinary intellectual and moral force, habits of licentiousness come fatally recom minded by those of his reckless associates. We are 'not now excusing the miserable morality which interposes the prejudices and conventions of artificial life, between that to which Providence has affixed the seal of actual - guilt with all its dreadful consequences, and the grave re s; prehension which, in the eye of truth, of virtue, and reli y, glop, belongs to it ; but, in judging, so far as his fellow e' creatures may presume to judge, the individual man, it is, we trust,neit her unpardonable nor unreasonable, to allow for the temptations which befall him, and the greater or less faci a': lity of resistance which his place in the world affords. On sa '. the class of failings to which we have now alluded, it will 4} not be necessary to dwell much longer ; and the sacrifice of feeling to integrity which we have already made, has .'" not been undergone without reluctance. Men, however, of eminent rank and fortune, marked out for the keen oh '' ;' nervation of society, by the hand eehieli lifted them above e .. .' the allotted level of their species, must he honestly appreci- le,l s . ated and represented, or the best landmarks of morals bid I,'l al fair to be finally overthrown. If that which is made, cen surable by the law of God can, be turned into praise by the • sophie.try of his creatures, there is an end of all moral din- ' .t,. crimination in the universe. As humbler individuals are ' prone to copy the great in all things, they, will most readily 0 imitate their frailties, if these be not branded with just k4i4 and inflexible reproach. We do riot, therefore , animadvert 1 with any pleasure upon the private infirmities of the Royal personage deceased; but it Is our imperious duty to warn others, that they mistake not his errors for subjects of pane n gyric, and to beware of so neutralizing the general colour of spas his propensities, as to aid mankind in their too frequent 'it kil indifference between things substantially right and Wrong. LI Besides the Duke of York's attachment to the excesses 1 , .s of the table ; to gambling on the turf and elsewhere ; and . 7 to r.nother class of immoral indulgences, which, without : vs tieing named, may be sufficiently comprehended; his Royal s , q Higlinees was weakly—we are bound to add culpably, as f" Lii weii as most unhappily, insensible to the real use of money. - . 4 Notwithstanding the vast income afforded him by the -: tild liberality of the British nation, he contracted enormous debts, without the means, or even the thought, as it would appear, of discharging them ; and involved in distress many hundreds of families, to whom he is now cut off for iever, and might at any time haVe been equally pre- , eluded, from offering the smallest reparation: This is, un- • , happily, regarded as one among the ,most venial offences 3 s , of the aristocracy of England. It is positive injustice: : 14 it may not be deliberate, but it .is intrinsic 'robbery. a its it finds men careless,--it makes them' callous,—it. ends by plunging debtor -arid creditor into the same 0 gulf of despair. It is notorious how much the rapi dity of the ,Duke of York's disorder was accelerated by the growing pressure of his pecuniary difficulties. So see Nvere, so degrading were the forms in which those ember -1 l resements assailed the illustrious and unfortunate Prince, k s ,' that neither a house, nor furniture, nor horse, nor tan- ft Obis. property of any kind incidental to the condition of a ',` gentleman, remained towards the close of life irnhis_pos- a , c session. Yet, thus destitute and fallen—owing an error- : . 1 moue debt, cof which he could not pay a shilling—with ; the resistless grasp of death about him, through what demon was it, that this iilsadvised member of the Royal . .i Family commenced the building of a p alace, the construe- - `-' non, decoration, and furnish in g of which, were not to be 'St. %-I completed for less than half a million sterling! " Tu seeunda marmora, " Loess sub ipsuna funus; et sepulcri 4., :' Immemor—straia donum" ";'his is a lesson to the prodigal debtor. Let an equi- ~iQ 1 > va i„ s Leison be put on record for the griping but still ' thriftless mo-geTniendet—bY the solemn and inexorable . refuW of parijam ,eut to discharge a mass of debts, which I could not have been co.' promptitude with which acco7a is tendered to the exigencies of e'Yen the V, - tracted at all, but for the hideous ~ rnodation, in this country, 11, most desperate ;4 .:, fortune. In the political conduct of . the Duke of York, e s .f' . there are but two points which we shall at present stop 4 to remark upon. Extravagance threw his Royal to u High- e s ness into that needy state , which compelled biro n- 's.: dere-o the cruel humiliation of acce p tin g 10,0001, per an-' `1„ s C' nuri - i, for driving once a we ek from London to Winudscee to d., visit his afflicted parent ; and indiscretion, however well- • e ' meaning, prompted him to deliver an irrevocable judg- .lit . , s mere on a much - contro verted q uest i on of state policy, its- voicing the peace of two gre a t kin g doms, and the civil e i - relations of 22,000,0 00 of men ! W e should hardl y here -'' hive touched upon the painful investig a ti on in which the 71 -i Commons of England were unfortunately engaged seven-'. ' teen years ago,. were it not, I st , that the ei4gl;l,4l' occur r= rein e to which we allude must, in spite of us, live in our s history and blot our Parliamentary records; and, 2d, that " the result proved strikingly beneficial to the army and to the kingdom at large. 0 Happy are they," e' says the proverb, " whom other men's dangers ' r;: render ,prudent ;" and it is the neat degree of '- happiness to learn experience from our own misfortunes. ',,t, •• s ince that remarkable epoch, there have been no more .'l.• ':.complaints ; disapdointment itself has ceased to clamour, ts , and envy to wh is p er, that promotions have been obtained t ' throngis a secret and impure interference. We turn now e the p l eas ing side . of this historical canvass. The . to more A e Duke •a Volk, in private society, was warmly and de. A. 1 atervedly beloved--echeerful, affable, open, brave, and gene.., e d i55 ....... a s teady and nee dle' frierid—gratefill fo w sses r e i ''; —inviolable in pie engagements—placable in his fe r kindnesses rel ~,:. sentro.en;s—humane and cornpeesionate to all whose dis i., an tresses he had the mea ns of reiiviiig, , No man of his s of Henry fir, of France, has ~, high rank, sh.:ee the day _ ever conciliated more personal attachments, .ur retained ; them longer. No ratan has provoked less private ale ., ~,.. : ' sity, or disarmed it scanner. He was the willing and con- stant protector of thoussnds, who had no help to rely upoe but that of his Royal iiighatis. He was easy and nnassum • ing among the higher classes with whom lie lived ? He was s considerate, kind, and beneficent towards those over whom his power extended. In dispensing his official patronage, he was no less exempt from vindictive and Tnalia' , riant impulses, than from ehildish and unfair peedilec- P! ; . ~ lions; and the character of the Duke of York, quite as much as his illustrious rank and station, qualli,ed him to emerge an honest public servant from those corruptions with which Ministerial importunity is t oo prone to sill round the head of a great executive department. The - memory of his Royal Highness will long be dear to all ,-•;iits take a serious interest in the honour, welfare, and et-' ..' ticacy of the British army. If that force has heretofore: ', been too extensive far the finances of the kingdom, or for the Seerning demands of a peace establishment, the fault did rapt "rest with his Royal Highness ; nor is this the moment at which we feel d is p osed to .consider as a national burden #l.o.esistenne of a few thousand superAiguerary troops of e• line. It hence becomes a consideration a gent um- Meat to provide a successor to his late Royal Ilie seeso, 'qualified to act tern those p rinci p les of command vi-46$ , havervlttailed sp e l t h a reem. on his memory, and to follow p_that wise and upright system through which, while the Moral character of the British army has been conspicuously improved, that which const i tu tes the soy.) of an army, the ----- - 1 - !rizish Infantry, has been rendered the most formidable now existing in the world.--Thnes. Mr. Canning is —and very justly—so.great a favourite with most men, but especially among those connected with literature in all its branches, that no sooner is a word hinted to his prejudice, than a hundred pens are devoted to his service, and ready to defend him on every Possible: graund, and at all hazards. Of course, many of such de-' fenders partake nota little of those 'very qualities which so strikingly mark the character of the person whose cause they espouse—viz., that they display quite as much enthu-I siasm as discretion. We are led to make these observaH tions from' seeing, in a Liverpool Journal, a long and very ably-written article in defence of Mr. Canning from the ,blame which has been (by ourselves, among others) im puted to him, for having given to the world his late speech,, in a printed form, essentially different, both in substance' and language, from that in which it was delivered. Mr. Canning's advocate upon this occasion—who seems to be 'a person intimately acquainted, at least, with his literary habits—not only justifies what has been done upon this oc casion, but states it to he the. constant practice of this dis tinguished Scholar and Statesman, whenever called upon to correct his speeches for the press, to remodel and alter them, so as to bring them as nearly as possible to his own standard of what they ought to have been—somewhat re gardless of what they were. It is one of the character istics of high genius to feel a diffidence and misgiving of I its own powers, unknown to common minds; nor can we be surprised that a man of Mr. Canning's splendid acquire ; ments and fine taste, should feel anxious that those efforts of his mind, which are to descend to, and fix his character land genius in the eyes of posterity, should derive from the, i master's hand the last touches of his own consummate' skill ; and, if those touches were confined to mere altera i tions and embellishments of language (though none re ! quire them less than that of Mr. Canning), there would be 'little, if any, ground of complaint on the part of the most fastidious critics. But it is quite another matter when al terations (as in the recent instance) are made in the sense and language of a speech destined, in the first place, to in volve the highest interests of nations, and becoming, as it mast be, the most important material in the hands of the future histbrian. To diminish or augment—in fact, in any way to garble or alter—the sense and meaning of a docu ment of such importance, is an offence alike against good taste and truth, which no ingenuity or sophistry can in any *ay palliate or defend. That Mr. Canning's ardent mind, warmed by .the importance of his subject, and urged on by the applause of minds as ardent, but not so sound or responsible as his own, may have led him to give utterance to sentiments somewhat at variance with his cooler judgment, may be very true, and Mr. Canning may regret, both as a Statesman and a man of genius, having done so; but still it was the speech as it was de livered that influenced the judgment of the audience, and Mr. Canning has no right to wish the present age or pos terity to believe, that what he did not say was what he did. However, therefore, Mr. Canning's apologists may endeavour to justify the practice as a habit, either upon this or any other occasion, it is impossible for any man to say that it is not a practice which goes to falsify the truth of history ; and as such, we humbly conceive, is wholly . indefensible. No modern orator can have less reason, ge neMlly speaking, to disclaim the language and ideas which fall from him, even in the warmest moments of debate; but, even as a matter of taste, his real language or ideas are those which every man would be most anxious to be put in possession of; while, at any rate, the important interests which they 'are to effect at present, and the va luable records which are to be formed from them hereafter, can and ought in justice to know no other.—Aforningl If - we had no other reason than the long delays and I silence with regard to the affairs of Spain, we should be warranted in the conclusion that the negotiations carrying :. on in Madrid, by our Envoy, are not of so easy nature: . as many persons at first imagined. , Ferdinand de ' ', Bourbon is not a character to. be frightened by distant danger; he looks around him, and sees only Friars and Monks, and these are net the men to allow of any con cessions -. to, or reconciliation with, the supporters of the - , 'Portuguese Constitution. They have themselves toomuch , at stake; and having gained an ascendancy over the King's Ceuneils, and an immediate controul over his sub- , jects, they cannot now be easily shaken off. They 'con- ' stantly din in his ears, that the haughty islanders have ;. done their worst; that all the Spanish ultra-marine pro vinces are gone ; the maritime commerce extinct; and that, as a nation, Spain is now no longer vulnerable to the masters of the ocean, unless in Cuba and the Philip- i pine islands; end what with the negroes of the one and e ; the climate of the other, the British, they assure him, ' would be no gainers, even if they were to capture them; but, if the free institutions of Portugal are allowed to .: prosper and spread, the secure spot on which the Spanish Monarchy is yet seated and triumphant, they cry out, will •' be lost, as well as that holy religion, so long the pride and ' boast of their ancestors. With such advisers as these ,- continually at his elbows, and besides swayed by the r s . two Portuguese Princesses residing at his Court, deep s in the political plots of the day, and thoroughly initiated f" - in all the secrets of the Apostolicals, Ferdinand must have -''. more intellect and a larger share of foresight than is usually ~. attributed to him, if he condescends to humble himself, or change his ground, on the present occasion, more particu- s, laely should he be in the least buoyed up with the expects don of foreign aid, or even the approbation and good wishes of those whom he has hitherto considered as his more -..' immediate friends and allies. The - national honour is besides roused, and the Church is pronounced in danger.., Under such circumstances , as these, what reliance, then, een be placed on the assurances of King Ferdinand, either al!, regaF4S Portugal or ourselves, even if he were inclined 'to accept the pPAditions proposed to him'? What could be gained by his now declaring, that he took reipart in the 'armament of the Portuguese refugees, .or his - disavowal of `: what has been done by his A ut h orit i es en the frontiers Would any one believe that he wa s sincere t No ; when 1 it is besides proved, that the muskets taken at Amarante • and in other places, brought in by deserters, are all Spa-pp nish. What Weolei be gained, if he changed his Minis- I: tees, as long es the system he pursues is the same ? If, as for some time has beep expected, M, Onis was to take the place of his brother-in-law, M. 'Salmon, and <. M. Herredia should be appointed to the Finance De"- partment, what good could follow from such a change ? • The Apostolicals would still govern the King; still hold influence overbid brother Carlos, and the whole movements of the Palace would still be directed by the Portuguese Princesses. Of the sincerity of the Spanish Government I with regard to - Portugal, we yesterday gave an instance, in z' the conduct more recently observed by the Authorities on the frontiers towards Magessi and his rebel followers, when :' deivep back jets? Spin. Yet, as if Ferdinand had attempted to punish an one 'of 1' Commanders for interfering, anti was unable to do it, we ere new told Oet " he is about to I send an army of eight thoneapd men to the frontiers, for '. the purpose of disarming and sending into the interiete r" the inemgents who may return into Spain." This ie add- •!' ing coarse inselt to perfidy. Last week, on the authority pf a recent letter from Madrid, we stated, " that 5,000 men belonging to the Royal (guard were to form a corps o f observation on the Portuguese frontiers, and, like a' second cordon sanitaire, encourage the neighbouring Apos i tolicals, as that of the French encouraged the Spanisle s Royalists, previous to the 46414 of the Duke d'Angou-' pursued, and cannot now be lame." This project is still disguised by any specious colouring the Spanish Monarch may wish to give to his secret design. What the French did for his Apostolicals in 1823, he thinks he can now do for those of Portugal. The Church will bear him harmless, This, he also-verily believes, is the only way of saving his own throne= —Morning Chronicle. . The fair authoress of Alinack's says, that, though she as known the author of Tremaine all her life, she Ter dis covered his pasaltra fur a beautiful hand.— Qy. Has she a very beautiful one herie;if, af.d 1.!..-1 ha ungallant enough not to admire it? By the way, thia assertion pi tiic I'i4 cuthoresq leads to a clue, by which some of her friends at least may discoror hcr. POLIC E INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Two cunning looking Jews, named Joseph Davis and Joseph Levy, were brought up for duffing. Bond, the Petrole, had been watching them at Craig's-court, where the Military Pensioners are now receiving their pensions, trying to sell a very large silver watch, which appeared to weigh half a pound, but, in fact, did not weigh more than three or four ounces. The price they asked was two pounds, though it was not worth more than ten shillings. After watching them some time, Bond secured them and the watch. ' Sir R. Birnie asking Levy what he NVB6 ? He answered, " a Jew," and taking Yip the watch, was coolly proceeding to put it in his pocket, when he was stopped by Bond. The pensioner, to whom they were offering it, declining, however, to attvod, Sir R. Birnie directed him to be proceeded against, for offering for sale without a hawker's licence. WORSHIP-STREET.—A person named Burmedge, a silk- 1 weaver, attended before Mr. 9SBORNE, respecting the disposal of hi.female apprentice, Caroline Roney. Several decent-looking women, who reside near Burmedge's house, had obtained a summons against biro, two or three days since, on the part of the apprentice, whom they represented to have been very cruelly used. When the Magistrate asked her age, she said, fifteen. The Magistrate could scarcely credit her statement, for her emaciated and care-worn features rather resembled those of a female ad vanced in years. It was afterwards explained that she was betw,eu !seventeen and eighteen. Mr. OSBORNX then examined her as to the way in which she had been treated, and it appeared that she was frequently and severely beaten by the mistress with a thick stick, kept the greater part of her time confined to the work-shop, and very wretchedly ; fed. In the mornings she generally received two slices of bread I4nd butter, her other meals consisting of a scanty portion of pota- I toes and a little dripping, and very rarely a morsel of meat. The parish officers of Bethnal Green, who were present, under took the care of the poor girl, whose miserable appearance excited eneral sympathy. She was Scarcely able to stand without sup port, and when she spoke, her hollow and scarcely human tones , seemed to indicate an interior decay. The master was 'ordered to attend whenever his presence should IR required, and the indenture will of course be cancelled. MARYLEBONE.—A respectable looking young man, named John Erford, an excise officer, was charged by a watchman with tracing indecent language in the snow. It appeared, that as Charley was on his duty, at 11 o'clock the previous night, in Montague-street, Portman-square, he observed in the snow, on the stela;., several doors, the language complained of, which his modesty, beautifully sensitive, forbade him to repeat. lest, peradventure, he might wound the delicacy of the constables in attendance. The Worthy MAGI STRATI, though highly delighted with the purity of the watchman's morals, dismissed the case. WAR IN PORTUGAL. (From the London Magazine.) The marching of the Foot Guards, or, as Mr. Hume would phrase it, the throwipg off of the dogs of war, for Portugal, has given occasion to divers explosions of senti ment. Miss Anna Maria Amelia Sophia Porter haS" writ ten some verses on the subject, and the Literary Gazette has been surprisingly fine on the same touching theme. The writer who does,the sentimental business in that most curious publication, saw "the dogs " drawn up in the Birdcage Walk on the morning of their departure. It is proper that the world should know.what kind of morning it was:— " In the south the clouds were heavily rolling away from the path of the god of day, who now for a moment dispersed them in their rapid way, and anon withdrew his glory beneath their veil. The eastern sky was streaked with lines which exhibited his faded track of rising bright ness; while the north and the west were shared between the cerulean path, which seemed to invite his advancing course, and the shades which were waiting to succeed the departure of his setting brilliancy." This appears prodigiously fine, but it is poor compared with what follows it : " There were (and who could have had the heart to pre-. vent then?) collected around the column many male and female relatives : the women, almost like Rachael, rtfus,,, ing to be -comforted,' wedded wives, and betrotherroiers, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, all the ties of consanguinity and of heart stretched on the rack of leave taking and of separation.' _ _ _ I This passage sets the morals of " the dogs," in a most respectable light, for it will be observed that they had none but " female relatives," " wedded wives," and ," sisters," about them—nothing paw-paw—all ties of eonsangunity "—extremely proper and decorous con nections. Alack ! alack ! I have seen these same " dogs;" mustered' for a march with a very different assemblage about them. " Good Lord," as Pepys would have exclaimed, such shoals of trulls and queens !' And so much more gin than tears shed, so many more oaths than sighs ; so many more eyes " blasted " than wet ! But the dogs have, we learn, changed their ways; they have become moral, and • have to do with none but—" wedded wives " and sisters. See how they comported themselves— " Here was an old man exhorting the child of his pro mise to emulate his father's dearly-treasured courage in the same righteous cause—that of his King and his coun try ; there a' youth, pledging to a brother the vow of " filial duty, and protection to their aged and common sire; and in another direction was heard the deep-drawn poig- , nant burst of.sorrow poured from the wife of his bosom into the struggling heart of many a manly mould. ' Don't Ihe unhappy, Mary,' said one fine young man to a pale, fair girl, whose grief,•depieted in her gaze, was at first too acute to relieve itself in tears ; don't be unhappy, you will lire with mother, and you will write to me, and I shall, perhaps, sometimes find time to write to you, and a soldier's letter, you know, travels over the world for a penny ; and we shall soon settle the matter, and come back ; they won't dare to stand their ground long, when our bay onets touch them—and then, Mary —" Ah exclaimed Mary, bursting into tears,' but they may stay long enough to kill some of you, and how can I tell that you Oh ! no, no replied the brave youth, many chances before my turn, .Mary, come, be cheery, you'll love me all the beiter when I have fought for King George !' Fought for King George ! Fought for a fiddle-stick !t Did mortal man ever hear the like of fighting for one' , ; King at this tithe of day ? For King George read six pence a day ; that is what soldiers fight for—and if King Dick paid it to them, provided it passed current at the I gin shop, they would tied his service as good as another gentleman's, Here is something of a still finer water--ri cure pleurer. " You'll get - half my pay,' whispered a man, with an accent of more tenderness than his appearance seemed to warrant the expectation of,—a tall, hard-featured, strong limbed figure, with a Waterloo medal suspended by the usual ribbon at his breast, upon which he looked down as if the sight of it nerved him to some great exertion. get half my pay,' said he to a pretty young `woman who carried an infant on her arm, while with the other hand she held a blooming boy of six or seven yea rs old; ' and as we cann o t s p en d any' money in Portugal, we shall save the other half to Send Johnny to school, and make a clever fellow of him ; shall we not, Johnny ?' stooping down to kiss the rosy boy;--` and he shall take care of his sister when hg, grows to be a man ;' and I thought I saw a tear fall from his full eye as he raised it towards heaven, and added, and when I come home I shall get my dise'a:lrge and my pension, and we'll go and live at the old viiidge, and make all the country folks stare with the stories of all the battles and sights I have seen." It is perfectly astonishing to me that a man can sit down and invent those mawkish taradiddles, and then have the impudence to attempt to pass them off as facts, an d t a k e credit for the fine sympathies which he swears they have excited in his feeling breast. RARE NEWS FOR THE LADIES.—The fashion of matrimony seems to be reviving in Wales ; a correspondent in forms us, that the Gentlemen Bachelors of the t own of Llandilo fawr have lately formed themselves into a so cie ty , called " The Matrimonial Association," by the rules' of which each member binds himself to enlist in the Benedictine cor p s wi thin ene year from the period of his initiation ; several of the gentlemen have already shown themselves good members, and many others are ;preparing to break the ice.— Carmarthen Journal. • bt:z;SEX WINTER ASSIZES. LEWES, JAN. 4. The winter gaol delivery for this county commenced here yes terday afternoon, before Mr. Justice BAILEY and Mr. Justice GASELET. There are seventy-two prisoners for trial; very few, however, of whose cases are marked by enormity. Richard Chapman was indicted for assembling, with other persons, armed with offensive weapons, on the 7th of December, at the parish of Fair Light, and rescuing certain contraband goods after seizure, and wounding George Kent, an officer of the Cus. toms, in the execution of his duty. The Jury, under the direction of Mr. Justice Gasstli, found the prisoner 'guilty. lie was sentenced to be transported for Seven years, Henry Barnard was indicted for assisting in making a light on the coast at Worthing, in the night of the 29th of September, for the purpose of enabling other Persons to laud uncustomed goods. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. John Kelley was indicted for feloniotaly intermarrying with Ann Turner, at Brighton, on the 18th of September, 1826, his first wife, Bridget, being then alive. In 1817, the prisoner was married at Christchurch, Surrey; to Bridget Brennan, who was proved to be alive a month since.— In September, 1825, he married a second time to Ann Turner, a spinster, in Brighton church. The prisoner, soon after the marriage of his first wife, had dis covered that she had been married before, in Ireland, to a man named Walsh, who was now living; ant that she had run away from him (prisoner), carrying off his watch with her. No wit nesses were called to prove these facts. Lord George Lennox had known the prisoner for 12 years, as a private in the 9th Lancers, and no man in the regiment bore a better character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. He produced certificates of an excellent character. Sentent4 was postponed. MEETINGS OP CREDITORS.

The public sale of Metal , tins yesterday, 4,466 bags, had an unfavourable effect, the whole 'sold Is. a Is. 6d. lower, except the inferior, which sold high in proportion to the fine, the prices 565. a 635. ; the whole were pe remptorily to be sold at whatever prices could be obtained, they were in consequence sold under disadvantageous circumstances. — The Sugar Market this forenoon has been firm, but the sales were not extensive till a late hour, when the buyers came forward and withdra wn , w purchased on rather an extensive scale; the sales to-day are esti mated at 1,000 casks, and during the week the sales are estimated at 4,000 casks; the prices ace rather higher; and the Market looks brisk. The Refined Market appears rev ivin g; the inquiries for low goods for expert have been rath er extensive, the wholesale grocers have not bought fine g oods to an y extent. Molasses 'teady. The request for low good s has been continued this fore noon, and the buyers are no w contractin g for parcels to be read y a few weeks hence; the Lum p s taken lately for crushing are a s b re e l e it n tle re v p ar or i t e e d d .. In Foreign or Eut rather ndi an extensive Sugars n . n businessAlo ll i Molasses a s h C orF au.—The first public sale this year of Coffee to o k p l ace yesterday, it went off heavil y , it consisted chiefl y of Du tch de scriptions ' no buyers appearing. T here were no p ublic salts of Coffin c ; 0 n a ti f n e few e lots to b ofe I na de Jamaica for in st .the Domingo sale we r a e n vi d Brazilthout this fore noon, and generally the Ma r ke t has a languid appearance ; but inquiries 50s. which will probably lead to contracts of some TEA.—There is no , alteration in Tea; the consumption is re ported to be greatly increased lately by the lo w prices. COTTON.—The accounts from M Mancbe s t con tinue very favourable for Cotton, but the 'V er an thd Liverpool by the declaration for the the Indi a sale 1 larkeere is checked . beide the business previous to that period 12th inst., and it is pro . The purchases for the we e k ending last night inclusive, will notbeextentive. consist of 800 Surats, sd. a sid. ; 26() ~ sid. ; 800 Egypti an, 17d. • :Madras, 5-0. ; '7O Bengal, 51d. duty paid. SPICES.--Tll5 purchases of Spices lately are confined to incon siderabletoo limited Market • some t to be given as a criterion of the , -- buyers a r holders do not accept*' appear for Nutmegs at 3s. 10d., but the the public sale that price. Pimento is rather higher; at ;, a 10d. yesterday 102 bags, the good quality sold ifid. hint Paovistorrs.—The late advance of 54. - a 10s. in Beef is maintained, and the Market looks firm ; Pork is rather heavy at the late advance. Bacon is little varied. Butters are in more request on account of the severe frost. WotE.—Winei;noreinden;;lsince the political mats in ,Portugal took plaice; but there is little improyetnent in the prices. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Spirit Market is firm, but few sales are reported ; proof Leewards and four over hare been sold in small parcels. We have not heard of any &den 9f Jamaica. At a late hour to-clay no sales of Rum or Brandy were reported. The holders of the few parcels of Geneva at Market are asking higher prices on •accouut of the Excise sale having I gone off 2d. psr gallon higher 2s. 2d. a 2s. td. the last sale was 2s. a 2s. 2d. HEMP, Ft.ax, AND TALLow.--The Tallow Market, which has lately been languid, reviviA considerably last night, and the ad vance of fid. which was reported, appears to be firmly maintained to-day ; the trade anticipate that the supplies of Candles, Soap, Ste. 'for the West Indies, which were previously sent from Ame rica, will be shipped from this country, which will enliven the demand. Hemp and Flax are little varied. At a late hour the Tallow Market was hrisk, and 9d. a Is. higher for March and —The demand lately ha s b e en limited, the prices continue r l iic‘r to be e s . quoted a shade lower. Irtnico.—The quantity now declarNl at the India House ex ceede 7,000 chests, the further declaration will be inconsiderable, and the extent of the sale in April will be limited. The report of the number of buyers coming to the sale is favourable, Lot no decided opinion can yet be given. There is little or no bus:- ness doing, and the Market will probably remain in the same lan guid state till the sale commences. TonAcco.--LThe salei for the week ending last night inclusive do not exceed 160 hhds., the whole are for the home consump tion. The holders of Tobacco are more firm than formerly, on ac:•count of the warlike message of the President. Ons—The Oil Market which was excessively brisk early in the week haFi again become languid ; there is, however, no altera tion in the prices. FaulT--The scarcity of new Currants begins to he felt mate rially by the grocers ; there have been no arrivals lately, and none remain in the importers' hands. Figs also are in good demand, as there is also a scarcity of them ; such of the Importers that are disposed to sell, are demanding higher prices : in the other de scriptions there is no alteration.
