which form so large a proportion of tie whole commitments of the country, sfustices of Peace would not stick at any means, however un just, to convict a suspected poacher. They are no more to be trusted, in such eases ; than a hungry cat ought to be trusted with the care of a mouse. They are so blinded by passion, that reason has no chance vvhatever with them. If Mr. Peel was anxions to have them watched by Barristers, it is but due to the Magistrates to observe, that they are equally anxious to Ise rid of the presence of Barristers; and we itM asured by several who attend Sessions, that so much do Magistrates feel their presence as a restraint, that there has been for some time a regular con snisaey in many . 'comities to d r i ve away C ounse l . Chief Justice Best appealed with much unction to the feelings of the 'Squires on the subject of hattus. He seems to think that that kind hearted race of men are in perfect ignorance that preserves have any thing to do with the increase of poaching, and, consequently, with th in crease of crime ; and that when convinced by him of the evil, of which they have unwillingly been the authors, they will cease to preserve game. Without meaning to question the powerful effect of the Chief Justice's eloquence on the Country 'Squires, we confess we rely much more on the effects to which the very extent of the evil has now led in many parts of the country. We are assured that the poachers of extensive districts have organized themselves in such a way, that they always assemble on a given point, in a strength far beyond that of the keepers, who dare not interfere with them. The keepers are igno rant of the spot which the combination may select for the scene of operations, and cannot leave their respective estates. So completely effective have these combinations of English Itockites become, that we have no doubt it will soon be found ne cessary to call in the military in aid of the keepers, and thus we shall for a time witness an attempt to enforce the Game Laws by the bayonet. This state of things, however, cannot go on long ; though the 'Squires may resent the e 1 „queues of Sir Win. Best, they will be for to yield to an overruling necessity.—Mnswing Chronicle. The public have ',mud, but only a small portion can have seen, that great doings are going on in St. .lames's Park. Not less than 1,000 workmen are said to be employed there ; but whether for good or evil—whether in good taste tar in had, remains to be seen. We confess we very much doubt the former ; and at all events, would recommend the public to keep an eve upon the spot, as we strongly suspect that what is called improvement, is to be accompanied by encroachment, which we, above all things, de precate. This work of encroachment, however, seems to us to have begun. The road which formed the northern extremity of the Mall, is al: ready broken up, and is, we suspect, to be des dicated to the houses which are building on the site of Carlton Palace—a spot itself, on which we are assured, no less than half a million has been from the first to the last, expended ; but which has now vanished into air—" into thin air." Every thing which tends to circumscribe the kw remaining open spaces in an overgrown metropolis like ours, ought to be deprecated ; and we will never cease to do our utmost to pre vent it. Of the alterations going on in and about the canal, it is as yet impossible to form any correct idea. As far, however, as we can judge of them, they appear to us to be somewhat un-English, if not nonsensical. The wonder is where the money comes from. Every one, how. ever, must be glad to see so much active labour at work ; and provided no lessening of the public convenience and pleasure occurs, we must excuse a little Frenchified taste which sets so many people to work, especially since, after all, if it does not answer, the same means will restore things to their original, or, at any rate, to a more national state.—Morning Herald. We have already exposed the artifice, in seve ral of its most scandalous and disgusting parts, by which it is attempted at the present moment to direct public gratitude on account of several modifications, supposed to be beneficial, which the policy of England has of late undergone, to one individual or to one particular class, to the total and unjust exclusion of other Statesmen, who in reality had the greatest share in pioduc ing them, and to whom the entire merit is un questionably due of having introduced that cau tion and circumspection into the National Coun cils, without the highest degree of which such changes must have been attended with the great est inconvenience and injury, and the principles upon which they rested have been doomed for an indefinite period to popular hatred or suspi cion. It is evident, that the dissent of England from the principles of that celebrated Alliance which bound together all the other great Euro pean Nations, for objects which England per ceived to be inimical to the intellectual advance ment and the social happiness of mankind, is to be ascribed, if to any single man, to the late Marquis of Londonderry, more justly than to any other. It is still more evident, that the feelings of distrust or hostility which this dis sent might naturally have engendered were ob viated only by the high character which that eminent Statesman, as well as the more power ful among his Colleagues, bore throughout Europe. for wise moderation and noble frankness, It is evident, likewise, that the practical measures adopted by England in pursuance of those principles which the other _European Governments had com bined to resist, were resolved on from the beginning, not only because they must neces sarily emanate from the principles which she had asserted as peculiarly hers, but because the reso lution to adopt them was distinctly avowed in the face of the opposing confederates. But it is, if possible, still more evident that these measures, we mean the successive recognition of several of the independent States of South Ameri ca , if adopted with precipitation -1f adopted before in terests exclusively English of sufficient magni tude and importance had required them, would have drawn upon England the suspicion of fa vouring revolution for its own sake, and with it, as an inevitable consequence, the bitter and rooted enmity of every established Government. To whom is England, then, indebted for the successful progress of this branch of her atrair_s? i To the individual who happened to be in office when the proper moment arrived for exposing in action her well-considered and predetermined poli c y ? We answer no —or, if at all, in a very inferior degree. We boldly claim the highest gratitude of the nation for others, for the Statesmen b y wh om that system of policy which has proved se successful was devised, and who resisted with 'Patriotic self-denial the dangerous temptation to develope it prematurely. There is still another subject upon which the most stre nuous efforts have been made to mislead public opinion, and to divert the current of national g ratitude and affectio n f rom t h e i r legitimate and mo st deserving objects. We allude to the altera tions which have been effected in our cQuium. dal system. Many of these alterations had become indispensable from the altered circumstances of the w or ld. S ome of them, p',trinipS, have the higher atkthority Of 'principles which may be justly 'Considered as of universal and eternal ap plication. No man of the present age can claim, however, as discoveries pf ,: his own the principl e s u p on w hi c h sniy these alterations proceeded. It in , '•.it"ti their timely and judicious apei•eation only that we have to do when we would compare modern Statesmen with each other. And of all modern Statesmen, the late Premier had probably the least part prunioting or effecting the changes in question. Let them prove eventually beneficial or injurious (for it is but fair to say that the character of some of them is yet undecided), no cons id era bl e portion either of praise or of blame rani be awarded to him. Lord Goderich i 3 the Statesman who, if we were to ,iylgt merely from the circumstance of official , station, would seem entitled to the largest share whether of censure or of praise. Vint AS Presi dent of the Board of Trade, and afterwards as Chancellor of the L'xeliequer, he has throughout the Whole series of changes had officially a most intimate and influential connection with the trade of the country. But Lord Goderich is not, we vestnne, a man in whose mind changes of p.ny kind are very likely to originate, for cer tainly, during the whole period in which he has held high office, whatever changes have been ef fected have invariably been ascribed to some other than himself. The name of Wallace resounded more loudly than that of Robinson at the eminnenceinent of these changes, as that of Huskisson has overpowered it more re cently. There can be no doubt that the fit ture historian, in recording these changes, will feel bound to mention Mr. Wallace and Mr. Huskisson as the men to whom they are princi pally to be ascribed. And if in weighing the merits of different Statesmen in reference to this steojeet, Mr. Huskisson is now claimed as the representative of the present Administration, we may, with at least equal confidence and pride, re fer to Mr. Wallace as the representative of the last. Mr. Wallace adopts the same commercial principles as Mr. Huskisson, and the only cha racteristic distinction between the two is, that the former in applying them to practice, has been disposed to proceed with greater caution, and with a - more earnest and timid regard to existing interests. The career of improvement was com menced by Mr. Wallace ; and all the changes introduced by him are now, after some years of trial, universally admitted to have been really im provements ; while the value of some of the changes introduced by Mr. Huskisson remains yet in dispute. Nor has the comparative suc cess of the two Statesmen been other than might have been anticipated, from the dissimilarity in the character of their minds, which we have ven tured to point out. So long as the mind of Mr. j Wallace directed the mighty movements of British Commerce, the country advanced in a progressive and unchecked course of prosperity ; j while, on the other hand, the career of the bolder experimentalist has been m ar k e d by a commercial convulsion more appalling in its pa, ture and wider and more destructive in its con sequences than any which had before visited the mercantile world.—Morning Post. We made a few remarks, the other day, on a case that was tried at Bridgewater, not so much with a view to the peculiarities of the case itself, as to the general rule on which the condemna tion proceeded. We have now to notice what we conceive a still greater deviation from the principles of general justice. It has been pressed on our attention at this time, by the letter of a correspondent, who addressed us in reference to our remarks. He states, as a circumstance that aggravated the cases of two or three prisoners, who were subsequently tried at Bridgewater, that they made an obstinate defence, and denied their guilt, although afterwards convicted on the clearest proof. Had none but our corre spondent mentioned this as an aggravation, we should not have noticed it ; but we have, on many occasions, seen it acted on, both by Judges and by Juries. Nothing, however, can be con ceived so utterly averse from all justice, and, we may add, from all law. The criminal who is ar raigned before a Court, it matters not for what offence, stands there to be tried for that offence, and, in certain circumstances, for offences which may have been committed before it, but in no case for acts done subsequently to the matter charged. It is not only the right but it is the duty of a prisoner to fight his cause with all the niceties, nay, with all the quirks and chicanery, if there be such, of the law, in order to avoid or retard condemnation, on the plain and obvious principle, that whatever weapon can be wielded against him, he may lawfully use in defending himself. If a prisoner overstep the line of legitimate defence, let him, for that offence against the Court be judged by the Court; but let not the Court or the Jury deem it an aggra vation of a crime previously committed. It is not only gross injustice but arrant nonsense to look on any kind of defence as an aggravation. The law says, that every man is innocent until he be proved guilty. To try his guilt is the duty of the Judge and the Jury. They are appointed for no other purpose. And if, by reason of the ability of one criminal, in taking advantage of legal technicalities, they are kept twelve hours, while, from the ignorance or indifference of ano ther, they arc discharged in twelve minutes, the guilt of the parties tried is neither lessened nor increased in consequence. It was their right to be tried, and it was the duty of the Court to try them ; the exercise of the right, and the per formance of the duty, have no connection, direct or indirect, with the offence of the criminal.— We have the stronger wish to dwell on this very obvious doctrine, because, in about five instances out of ten where the punishment is discretionary, we cannot help observing . that the degreeofle niency w ith w hi c h a cr i mina l is treated, depend s as much on the face he puts on, and its effect on the temper of the Judge and Jury, as upon the merits of the case.—Nets Times. The opening of the English Theatre at Paris is announced as shortly to take place, with the assistance of two of the beat dramatic artists of Great Britain, KEAN and Miss FOAT.—(Query ? Foam) SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, a melancholy event occurred at the woollen manufactory of Messrs. Rhodes and Co., situate at Woodhouse Car, near this town. On the afternoon of that day, Thomas Wil loughby, aged nine years, who was employed there as a piecener to one of the slabbing b; mac —nes, left his work and went into another room. He had not been there long, before a portion of his clothes were caught hold of by an upright shaft, and by this means be got so entangled that, after being taken round with it a few evolutions, his body from having been forced through a comparatively small space, was literally crushed to pieces, and hi s h ea d torn from his shoulders. A Coroner's Inquest was held the same evening, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned. The unfortunate youth was interred on the day following. ia...Letda At(lligencer. SUMMER ASSIZES; 1101 IE AUG. 23 .lohn Parkhurst was convicted of an assault And highway robbery on the person of JaMes Glazier ; on the 12th of May last, at Maidstone, accompanied with circur►istenee of great violence. The Learned Judge passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, conjuring him to lose no time in making his peace with an offended God, a, no mercy could be extended towards him in this world. George Egg&lon, Edward Garnett, John, White bead, and Joseph Copetey, were indicted for assault and highway robbery, upon the person of Mr. James Flint, on the Bth of April last, at Dartford. The Jury found EggletOn and Garnett Guilty of the stealing only, and Acquitted the other prisoners. Eggleton was sentenced to eight and Garnett to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-HEREFORD, Aug. 522. Richard Hall was indicted, charged with felo niously stealing and taking away seven pieces of oak staves, the property of Richard Tayler ; also, with feloniously stealing and carl•ying away a stable bucket, the property of Ann Taylor. Mr. Baron VAt:GuAN having summed up, the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. The Coui t immediately resounded with the accla• mations of his friends; but he was detained to an swer the following charge. James Frost and Joseph Herriott were indicted for having rescued Richard Hall from the custody of the constable conveying him to prison, and Richard Hall was indicted for aiding and abetting in the said rescue. John Taylor, the constable, as a special constable, was sworn in to convey the prisoner Hall to prison, on the Ist of August last. When they got near the Sally's public-house, Hall begged to be allowed to go in and take some refreshment. The witness at first declined, but as the prisoner was very importu nate, he at last consented. When they got into the public-house, they found several of Hall's friends there. After they had taken some refreshment, the witness said they must proceed on their journey, when Hall swore he would go no farther, and rushed past the witness, who followed and caught him : the prisoners Frost and Herriott then came up, and the witness charged them to aid and assist, as they knew he was a constable. But Frost and Hall having both struck him at the same time, Hall got off, and ran away a second time. The witness then followed and caught him again, but the prisoners Herriott and Frost again interfered, and set him at liberty ; and on the witness attempting to follow them, they all three turned round and swore if he came after them " they would wash their hands in his blood." The Ju►y found the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, after commenting on the enormity of their offence, sentenced the prisoner Hall to one year's imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, and the prisoners Frost and Herriott to six months' imprisonment and hard labour in the same place. During the present assizes Thomas Taylor was indicted for stealing a sheep, the property of William Bond. The evidence was conclusive, and on being called on for his defence, the prisoner chanted forth, in a low tone, the following verses : The first man that we will pray for shall be for great George our King, That were he has got one man that he may have ten, Let Geor , e our King pray for what he will, I will say amen. God bless George our King, and send him long to reign; May the Heavens above protect George our King, and his men upon the main. The next that we will pray fur shall be for my Lord Judge, For he is a valiant man, and a valiant man is he; May the Heavens above protect my Lord Judge, if he wi: set me free. So now I pray you, my Lord, to grant to me one favour For you to set me at liberty, and I will praise you for ever. So Row to conclude, and finish up my story, May the Heavens above protect my Lord Judge, When he is in the heighth of his glory. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having summed up the evi deuce, the jury found the prisoner guilty. The trial of all the prisoners concluded here yes terday between two and three o'clock. WESTERN CIRCUIT.-BRIDGEIWATER, AUG. 23 A SSAULT.-.-KINGSBURY V. COLLINS AND ELMS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants, for a grievous bodily injury which he had received from them while engaged in his lawful occupation. It appeared that he was em ployed in cutting teasels upon some land which he and another had engaged to cultivate for the pro prietor of the soil, on certain conditions, when the defendants came up, ordered him off the ground, and upon his refusal beat and kicked him in a vio lent manner, and then removed him la force; after wards conveying him as a prisoner before a Magi strate. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 2001. The pleadings in this cause were so voluminous, that the parchment on which they were written would have covered the ground on which the tea sels grew, the tenure of which involved the main dispute. SHOOTING A 1)OG.-PAUL V. KF.RLEIr, This was an action brought byy - a farmer against a gamekeeper, for shooting one of his sheep-dogs. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 10/. Eliza Dicks and J. Wiltshire were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the house of Mr. Jameson, of Lark-hall, near Bath, and stealing therein 10 sovereigns in gold, and 10 guineas, be sides a plated tea-pot, and some other articles. It appeared that the female prisoner lived at the time in the service of the prosecutor, and was in the ha bit of receiving the visits of the male prisoner, as those of a sweetheart. Between them this robbery was concocted and executed, and the Jury found them both Guilty. Lord Chief Justice BEST, in passing sentence of death upon the prisoners, said, that the prevalence of the crime of burglary had at length rendered an awful example necessary, and that example he was determined to give in all cases like the present, where the guilt was clearly established. He then prd nounced the awful sentence of death upon the pri soners, and recommended them not to lose one mo ment in preparing for the dreadfnl fate which ine vitably awaited them. a The woman was asked the, s usual qu es ti on, whether she had any plea of pregna nc y to urge in bar of the execution of the sentence ; but sh e replied in the negati‘'e maintained . She throurge fortitudehoiit tlie passingtiln the of man, who the sen tencetrembled excessively, and would have fallen i n th e dock had he not been upheld by one of the gaolers. The, prosecutor recommended the prisoners to mercy, 'so far as a commutation of the capital punish ment. The Court, however, held out no hope that the recommendation would be attended to. The business here is so heavy, from the number of prisoners and causes rather than the peculiar dif ficulty attending any of them, that both Judges ex pect to be here till late on Saturday night, and one of them possibly till Monday, unless some arrange mentshould be made for some of the causes. Only one Judge (the Lord Chief Justice) will attend at Bristol for the despatch of business. His commis sion day will be on Saturday, and the business of the assizes to commence on Monday : but by the late act of Parliament, the commission, in cases of emer gency, can be postponed until the day of business. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-WARWICK, Au'. 23. William Timpson stood charged, on the Coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of Sarah Timp son, in the parish of Birmingham, on the 6th of Oc tober, 1826. The prisoner, a powerful man, 34 years of age, was brought into Court in a strait waistcoat, by five men, who were scarcely able to hold him at the bar, so violent were his paroxysms of madness. Upon the testimony of Mr. Birch, the surgeon who attends Warwick gaol, and who described the prisoner as being insane ever since his commitment, the Jury teterned a verdict to that effect; and the prisoner was ordered to be taken care of until his Majes tY'S pleasure respecting his future disposal should be known: The deceased, we understand, had been the pri soner's housekeeper. Having nearly severed her head from her body with a case-knife, he went to an officer and gave himself up, saying, he had committed murder, and wished to suffer for it. Thomas Goodwin was indicted for assaulting Jane Lee on the 28th of July last, in the parish of Aston, and forcibly and feloniously taking from her person two sixpences. _ _ The prosecutrix stated that she was a married woman. At about half-past seven o'clock on the evening of the above day, as she was getting over a stile, when passing through a farm, the prisoner ac costed her from the other side, saying, " Ah, now I have you." The prosecutrix asked him what he wanted, and he replied, " I must have a kiss." She told him he should not, and gave him a smack in the face; upon which he took hold of her, and she told him to have done, as he might find plenty of girls who would be willing, and need not force a woman against her will. He persisted in attempt ing to assault her until she drew a sixpence from her pocket, and gave it to him to let her alone. At this time she was in fear of her life, as he was pulling her clothes up, and held an open knife to her breast. As he still seemed disposed to persist in his purpose she gave him another sixpence to permit her to go away, which she was at length, and after much abuse, allowed to do. She afterwards met a girl whom she asked if there were any men near who would take up a man that had ill used her. Having found the owner of the farm, the latter went back with her, and they discovered the prisoner lying on his face in the ditch near the stile. He was sleep ing, but did not appear drunk. This part of her testimony was corroborated by that of the farmer. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was also indicted for assaulting the prosecutrix, with intent to violate her person; but he was not tried on this indictment. h This prisoner, Thomas. Goodwin; John Renshaw, convicted of a rape upon Caroline Smith, at Bir mingham; Thomas Hudson, convicted of stabbing Thomas Stych; and James Smith, and Benjamin Budworth, convicted of stealing 120/. from the person of James Lloyd, were then placed at the bar to receive judgment. The Learned JUDGE addressed them severally on the heinousness of their respective crimes. He told 'Renshaw, that were it not for the strong recom mendation of the jury, in consequence of some dis crepancies in the evidence for the prosecution, the sentence of the law would have been suffered to take its course in his case, as it would also in the case of Hudson, had he been convicted on the count charg ing an intent to murder. Goodwin had stopped short of the completion of an offence, for which, had he perpetrated it, he certainly would have paid the penalty of his life; and Budworth and Smith had not been guilty of violence, although they had com mitted a serious robbery. Under all the circum stances of these cases, his Lordship would recom mend it to his Majesty that their lives be spared; but they must expect to leave this country for the rest of their lives. Joseph Williamson, and thirteen other defendants, pleaded Guilty to an indictment for a riot at the last election for Coventry, and entered into their own recognizances to keep the peace for two years.

(From the New London Price Current of Friday). StiGAß.—There is a great alteration in the Sugar Market this week : the renewal in the demand took place towards /he close of Tuesday, when about 800 hhds. were sold, but generally at the very lowest state of the currency ; since then the request has been exceedingly brisk, and the average sales are 1,300 hhds. each day, at an advance of Is. 6d. a 2s. per cwt. - At the close of the Market this after- noon the sales of the four days are estimated at 5,000 hhds., the advance is now fully 4 25. per cwt. on the prices of this day week, and the Market is agaig within 2s. of the late highest currency. In the Refined Market this week there has been a great change, the prices have advanced ls. 6d. a 25.; low lumps, which were offering freely at 825., now sell for 83s. 6d. The grocers who were purchasing Re fined Goods to a considerable extent at the low prices, have discontinued their purchases on account of the advance we have stated. Molasses from being dull at 255., are now brisk 255. 6d. a 265. The Re fined Market was very brisk this afternoon. By public sale this forenoon 152 bags Mauritius Sugar; the whole sold with uncommon briskness; soft brown 625. 6d. a 635. ; good 645. a 655.; yellow 665. a 68s. ; also 112 chests Brazil fine white, sold 445. 6d. a 455., ord. 41s. a 425., fine yellow 395. 6d. brown 345. FOREIGN SUGAR.—The several small parcels of yellow Havannah which were in the Market have this week found purchasers from 38s. to 395. In White Havannahs business to some extent has been done ; rather a large cargo, of late arrivals, having been sold to several buyers from 51s. to 525., ac cording to quality. In Brazils no sales can be reported. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The East India Company's sale brought forward on Wednesday, consisted of 11,426 bags Bengal, and the whole found purchasers from 2s. to 3s. under the price obtained on the 25th July. WEST INDIA . MOLASSES.—West India Molasses are again upon the advance; good Antigua sold at 30s. TEA.—Rather more doing in the cheap-bought Congous of last sale. COFFEE.—There have been considerable public sales of Coffee this week ; the good and fine coloury descriptions nearly support the former currency, but the low qualities and rank have been so forced upon the Market lately that they were unsaleable; and, in consequence, in the sale of yesterday very small parcels of the latter were offered. Fine ordinary La Guayra in large parcels sold 455. 6d. and 465. ; or dinary Havannah 435. 6d. By Public Sale this forenoon 107 casks, 38 bags British Plantation, 1,893 bags Foreign ; the latter good ordinary St. Domingo, good ordinary Brazil, and good to fine ordinary La Guayra. The latter 445. a 465.; the Brazil 425. 6(1. a 435.; the St. Domingo 435. a 435. 6d.; a great proportion taken in. The Market is a shade lower for Foreign and ordinary Coffee, and very dull, except for m►d. coloury descriptions. FRUlT.—Currents in Trieste packages have been sold at 87s. by the importer : another small parcel about sixty-five casks is just arrived and now land ing ; Cephalonia and Zante in second hands at 925, and the Market has an appearance of a further im provement if not checked by large arrivals, the stock on hand at present being small; there are no Red Smyrna Raisins on hand, consequently the demand for Valentia Raisins has much increased. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The letters from St. Petersburgh are to the 11th inst. Exchange 10d.. 5-16 ; Tallow 98 to 100 rubles. The Market here since last Friday has rather improved, on account of the Trade being out of Stock, and all the buyers holding off till the extensive arrivals should take place.—ln Hemp or Flax there is little alteration. COTTON.—The sales by private contract are quite inconsiderable. THIS DAY'S EAST INDIA SALE. Per lb. in Bond.

Lord Viscount Goderich, late the Right Hon. Frederick Robinson, formerly represented the borough of Ripon, in Yorkshire, in Parliament. His Lordship is a younger brother of Lord Grantham (Thomas Philip Weddell), Baron of Grantham, in the county of Lincoln. Lord Goderich's age cannot much exceed 40, or on the outside 43 or 44 years. The founder of his family was Win. Robin' son, an eminent Hamburgh Merchant, who was Lord Mayor of the city of York in the years 1581 and 1594, from whom descended, Metcalf Robinson, Esq., created a Baronet, . on the 30th July, 1660, after which he repre' sented the city of York in Parliament for se veral years. Dying, however, without issue, the title became extinct, while the estates devolved upon his nephew, Wm. Robinson, in whose person the Baro' netcy was revived in the year 1689.

Morning Paper. shipping houses were still quiet, and a good Fortin of the business was amongst our dealers and 'epee* , lators. There was a fair spirit in the sale, and Ben gals were the most attractive, going off at our full previous market currency, which was about ed. per lb. above the Company's last sale. The Surat holders were a little tob expectant, or they might have parted with almost every thing at the Com pany's last sale prices, but not higher.
