AMERICAN PAPERS. (From the New York Papers of the 90, and 10th inst.) CONGRESS....-IN SIINATY, JAIL 6. Mr. M'Kean presented a memorial from Phila delphia praying that the public deposits may here after be made in the United States' Bank; alao another memorial from a bank, to the same effect, which were ordered to be printed. REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITS. The Vice-President having announced the special order, being the report of the Secretary of the Trea sury on the subject of the removal of the deposits, Mr. Benton resumed his remarks in support of the measure, and in reply to Mr. Clay, and continued speaking until 3 o'clock, when, %%ithout coming to a conclusion, he gave way to a motion to adjourn. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. PRESENTS FROM FOREIGN POWERS. The chair presented to the House the following message from the President of the United States, received by the hands of Major Donelson "TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Washineton, Jan. 6. " I communicate to Congress an tx•ract of a letter re cently received from James R. Leib, C,nsul of the United States at Tangier, by which it appears that that officer has been induced to receive from the Emperor of Morocco a present of a lion and two horses, which he holds as he lon in to the United S►ates. There being no funds at the disposal of the Executive applicable to the objects stated by Mr. Leib, I submit the whole subject to the considera tion of C.mtgress, f.d. such direction as in their wisdom may seem proper. I hive directed instructions to be given to all our ministers and agents abroad, requiring that, in future, unless previously authorized by Congress, they will not, tinder any circumstances, accept presents of any de scription from any foreign State. " I deem it proper rn this occasion to invite the atten• tion of Congress to the presents which have heretofore been made to our public officers, and which hove been deposited, under the orders of the Governmen►, in the Department of State. These articles are altogether useless to the Government, and the care and the preservrtir n of them in the Department of State are attended with consi derable inconvenience. " T. at provision of the constitution which forbids any officer, without the consent of Congress, to accept anti• present from any foreign Power, may be considered as having been sati•fitd by the surrender of the articles to the Government, and they might now be disposed of by Congress to ihnse flpr whom they were originally intended, or to th.ir heirs, wilt obvious propriety in both cases, and in the Litter would be received as grateful memorials of the character of the parent. " As. under the positive order now given, similar pre Rents cannot hereafter he received, even for the purpose of being placed at vhe disposal of the Government, I recom mend to Congr.ss m anthoriz' by law th ‘t the articles already in the Department of State shall be delivered to the persons to whom they were originally presented, if living, and to the heirs of such as may have died. " ANDREW JACKSON." ThP message was referred to the Committee on foreign relations; and the Ilcu , e then adjourned. (From the New York Standard of Jan. 10.) We have the conclusion of Mr Benton's speech and a portion of Mr. Binney's. Mr. Wrhs►er gave novice on Tuesday, that as soon as everybody had said what they had to say, he should move the re f-retire of the Bank subject to the Committee nn finance. Nothing else of moment transpired in the Senate on tl.at day, and the time of the House was occupied by Mr. Binney's speech. TIC DOLOUREUX. RETORT OF THE WESTMINSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY. (From the Medical Jou►nal.) Mr. Wai•e made some rem irks on Vie treatment of tic dolnuteux, and of the plan of treatment adopted by Mr. Scot!, of the London HoQpital, which was the emFlo) meta of caustic, and which was reported to have been successful when other remedies had failed. In the e. urge of the di-cussion on this subject the case of the Marquis of Anglesea was referred to by Mr. Waite and Mr. Costello, and as some erroneous notions upon th s subject had obtained credence, Dr. Rypn, who had been consulted, was called upon for an exploration of the real state of the case. Dr. Ryan, said he Was induced to make the inquiry as to the pt-fod the Nohle Marquis was free from his distressing disorder, as he %Va. , aware that he bad suffered severely from it immediately before he lef: this country for the continent. With respect to his (Dr.Ryan':) informing the society of the history of the M trquis's case, he should have much pleasure in doing so, bur he felt some hesitation in complying with the evident wish of the meeting on ethical grourids only. If the president and members of the society sanctioned his conduct in stating the outlines of the c; se, he should be most willing to do so. Dr. James Johnson observed that he saw no de lic,cy in the matter ; the whole profession was aware of the diseace of the Marquis of Anglesea, and the ease of a Marquis did not differ from that of any other man. The whole society concurred in this opinion. Dr. Ryan then said that he was one of a great number who had been consulted in the case of the Noble Marquis. He would very briefly describe the outline of his case. Many of the most eminent phy sicians and surgeons of this and other countries were consulted, but, "as a matter of course, took diffe rent views of the cause of the malady."* Some con sidered it purely nervous; others, that it was excited by pressure on the facial nerves; more, that it was caused by concussion of the spire induced by riding on horseback, an exercise to which the Noble Mar quis was extremely partial, and that as the weight of the body was on one inferior extremity, (the other having been lost at Waterloo), the spine was frequently concussed by the plunging of the spirited horses on which the Noble Marquis was accustomed to ride, because, whenever this occurred, though he might have been free from neuralgia for several days previously, the disorder was instantaneously excited. It was right to mention that the disorder was much less severe since S:r James Murray, his experienced and judicious physician, has discovered some tumefaction in the abdemen, and successfully removed it. This arose from two alritre concre• lions; the nucleus of one was a mercurial 01 co-, vered ith silver leaf; that of the other was a tea-leaf. After these were expelled the noble patient sufT red much less from his complaint than at any former pt riod since its super vention. Every remedy hitherto proposed by British or Foreign phy sicians was fairly tried, but, unfortunately, with only temporary benttit. When the noble Mar quis was last in London, and on the eve of rep trfng from this country to the continent, Sir J.rnes Allurtry and himself (Dr. Ryan) most nifoure), del:berated upon the case, and he (Dr. Ryan ) rela•ed some cases of neuralgia .'hick yielded to the use of strychnine, and read the 4etails from his note-book to '64 James, who p- romis .11 to try the remedy. He had not since heard froth Sr James, but entertained no doubt that he tried the strychnine. His (Dr. Ry3l.) therefore thought I hat under the circumsta nce, it was not qtn e fair to ascribe the mitigation of the disorder, if any took place, which he siecerely hoped there had, to the change of air only. * These are Dr. Ryan's very words. I must own I never see a fashionable physician tanyntetiocsly consulting the pulse of his patient, Or, with a.silver s;.oon on hi s tongue , i mportant ly p e ering down bts throat, but I feel a desire to exclaim—Why not tell the p• or gentleman at once, " Sir, you've eaten too much —you've drank too much—and you've not taken exerei-e etomeh ?"—That these are the real causes of every One's Walesa, there can he no greater proof than that those savage nations who live actively and temperately have only one di-order—death ! The human frame was not created imperfect—it is «e ourselves who have made it so—there exists no donkey in et e,ation so overladen a our stomachs, and it is because they groan under the weight so cruelly impo-ed upon thew, th at we are seen driving them hefore tis in styli herds to one little brunnen.

Q uarterly Review. L °EDO AV, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1834. We are told that agriculture is the first of arts, and therefore should be encouraged—that we can live without manufactures, but we can not live without food. But neither can we have it without paying for it ; and we should be- glad to know what would be the value of land in England, if we had no manufactures. There never has been, there never can he, a country where the value of land has been increased, or the price of corn raised, without manufactures. Look at Poland--regretted Poland ! Her land cr her corn derive no value from her own de• mand. She is indebted for any value they have to the demands of foreigners—of ot,rselves Prussia, absolute Prussia, is teaching the les sons of wisdom on this head to free states, With sedulous activity, unremitting zeal, and unwearied perseverance, she has prosecuted,and, under many difficulties, has nearly accomplished the breaking down of restraints upo n commercial intercourse, presented by the numerous custom houses of the petty states around her. Why has she done this, but to increase her manufac tures, and thereby raise the value of the produce of the land, and increase the value of the land • itself, which at present fortis almost the only source of her revenue, as the land did in Eng land before she became a manufacturing country? We talk of taxes, but, with the exception of the land tax, we know of no tax that is paid by the landlords or farmers, that is not paid by the rest of the community. Our landlords and farmers pay taxes only as consumers, not as receivers of rent or growers of corn, and even if any tax were paid by the grower of corn, it is paid before his rent goes to his land lord. And how few are the land-owners and the growers of corn compared to the agri cultural lAbourers, and how few are the agri cultural labourers compared to the 3st of the community. From the increasing demand of our increasing population for food, the price of corn must always be high in this country ; but a high price of corn is the heaviest tax that is pail, and are we to be the better able to pay other taxes by increasing the amount of it ? The increasing demand of our increasing population is a sure encouragement to the growth of corn, if' we allow it to operate, as it never fails to do, in the natural course of things. We are not content, however, wi;11 a high price produced by natural causes. We must attempt to increase it by artificial means, which fail of their effect in increasing prices, ' but render the whole population, who can live only by the fruits of their industry, unable to pay a high price. A high price we must always pay by reaso❑ of our increasing demand, but there is this difference between a high price arising from natural causes, and a high price attempted by artificial means, that in the natural state industry is able to bear it, whereas in an artificial state it is depressed by it, including the industry of the grain grower as well as the agricultural labourer ; for the operation of the corn laws since 1815 has been to drive capital from the cultivation of the soil, to throw agricul• tural labour out of employment, to distress one third of the population engaged in agriculture, and, by rendering them unable to purchase the products of manufacture, to distress the othei. - two-thirds employed in it, and thereby to compel our manufacturers to seek abroad a market for their products which they ought to have at home; and, after all, how small is our foreign trade compared to our inland trade. Last year our exports in declared value amounted only to 36,441,524/., when the gross stun of the taxes we paid (which arise from our home industry) were 54,006,558/. ; the gross value of the home industry which produced it could not be under 500,000,000/. ! ! ! We copy the following paragraph from the Times of this morning The Dublin Even ing Post throws out a very appropriate sugges tion, that as Mr. O'CONNELL has made fifteen thousand pounds of the Rent this year, he ought to give his victim, Mr. BARRETT, of the Pilot, at least ten per cent. on that amount. This would be only justice, but not at all characteris tic of Mr. O'CONNELL?' We heartily con cur in the propriety of this hint, and it is for DANIEL'S own sake we do so. It will give the Great Paid a glorious opportunity of setting himself right with those disbelieving creatures who think he resorts to patriotism as a trade—less to further the interests of Ireland than to replenish his own coffers. We know there are such sceptics in the world. And truly we cannot wonder at it: The Repeal agitation, oddly enough, al ways sets in with the Rent; and DANIEL is never so combustible, or so inflamed with pa triotic ardour, as in autumn and the early part of winter, just at the very season when the begging box is going about from chapel to chapel throughout the country. Then indeed—as we have lately had many egregious prools—the Great Paid holds forth with an earnestness and volubility that convinces many people that the chink of the coppers, not the cries of his im poverished countrymen, must be ringing in his imagination. But this is nothing new. Brass was always the main source and inspiration of Mr. O'CoNNELL's eloquence. Now, however, he has a noble opportunity of neutralizing slander by showing his disinterested ness. He was always a great man. He can now prove that he is a generous one. Mr. BAR RETT is his victim—his proxy in gaol. What more natural, then—what more imperative than that the Liber.l: - .or should share with him some portion of his splendid national annuity ? RICHARD BARRETTand DANIEL O'CONNELL are both patriots; but surely it is not just that the one should get all the cash, and the other all the imprisonments ! Fair play is a jewel ; so hand over, DANIEL, a couple of cool thousands to your coadjutor in Repeal. Nay, no shrinking, man I Do the thing handsomely, and we will agree to think you more like PHOCION and the patriots of the old school, than we ever before thought you. Alas! we fear the Times will be right in its supposition, and that O'CONNELL will weep— pray—declaim—visit—soothe—do any thing, in short, for BARRETT—but give him cash. We can imagine him, like the Jew in Ivanhoe, struggling hard between self-interest and gene rosity ; wishing to be liberal, yet lacking the courage ; now thinking of poor RICHARD in gaol, and now of the balance in his banker's hands ; at one moment sitting valorously down with the intention of transmitting a check to his victim ; the next, tearing the paper into a thou sand fragwentF, buttoning up his breeches pockets, and exclaiming, like old Milnwood, with a sigh, " By G—d, I canna do it !" According to accounts contained in the Lis bon Chronica, the situation of SANTAREM must, by this time, be quite desperate. "By intelligence dated the 16th," says this journal, " we learn that the epidemic continues to make very great ravages. Hunger and the want of clothing become daily more and more felt by the rebels, and their cavalry has fallen off much, in consequence of bad treatment and insufficient food. Since the 14th more than twenty horses have died daily." The same paper contains a document found among the papers of the Viscount de SANTAREM, which would seem to prove that the Representative of Eng land at the Court of France, concurred with the POPE'S Nuncio, and the Russian and Sar dinian Ministers, in expressing approbation of the Miguelite Government. Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's at Patras, dated sth January : " The Greek Government has published a decree re specting their shipping, in which peculiar privileges are granted to the National fl tg, viz., the exclusive right of tlae transport of articles of internal commerce and industry from one part of the kingdom to another. The imposi tion of heavier dues of shipping and port dues for :,reign vessels and goods imported and exported in foreien vessels, will pay a higher duty than by Greek vessels. Th e pro amble to this Act makes some allusion to the principles of recipr:city as regards those stares who admit Greek vessels to the same privileges as their own, hot it is so obscure as to admit of various in'erpletations." " PATRAS, JAN. 5.—A severe gale of wind on the 15th ult., it is reported, prove I fatal to 18 vessels in the Archi pelago, and, amongst others, an English merchant vessel was wrecked at Tinos." We last week noticed a desperate affray that had taken place near Ravensworth Cas:le, between a party of poachers and some of the servants of the noble family who resile there, by which John Bell, a farm servant, was severely wounded. The unfortunate man expired on Saturday night. An inquest has since been held at Trench 11111, before Mr. Michael Hall, coroner, mid a verdict returned of .‘ Wilful isariol , ,r against some person or persons unknown." It is thought there could be no: fewer than 16 or 17 concerned in this affair.— Newcastle Journal.

Mr. TEMPLE for the plaintiff, was heard till half--pant 12 o'clock, and at the conclusion of his argument the list of Judgments was called on which his Lordship stated yererday he would deliver this morning. STOCKER V. STOCKER. The Loan CHANCELLOR stated that in this case he had paused, principally for the purpose of considering certain points in reference to the decision in " Mundy v. Lord Howe," in 4th Browne's Chancery Reports. In the principal parts he felt disposed to confirm the Vice-Chan cellor's judgment, but there were minor points in the case, on which the decree would have to be modelled. The course his Lordship meant to pursue was to give the parties till the middle of the week of the first sittings at Lincoln's inn, tosee if they could agree on the terms of the decree ; if it turned out they could not then the Court would have one counsel further on a side upon the then disputed parts. RIPON V. HOBART. The Loan CHANCELLOR meant to have given judgment in this case, but he had been prevented last night by public business from giving that attention to certain affidavits which he desired to do, particularly as to how far they were to be considered strictly as affidavits in reply. He would dispose of it on the last day of Term. KEPPEL V. BAILEY. In this case the application was todissolve an injunction granted by the Vice-Chancellor. The injunction restrained the proprietors of the Beaufort ironworks from using a rail road which they themselves bad made, on the ground that it was against a covenant which their predecessors had entered into, binding themselves to use a railway belong ing to the plaintiffs. The Lord Chancellor was clearly of opinion that that agreement was in fraud and violation of the policy of the local Act of Parliament; secondly, that the covenant under which the plaintiffs claimed, bound not the assigns, and, therefore, the injunction stood d:ssolved. Mr. KNIQHT n ished the Court to grant leave to the plaintiffs to try the legal question by an action at law. Mr. PEPYS opposed any such addition being tacked to the judgment. _ _ The Loan CHANCELLOR refused to make any order to the effect asked by Mr. Knight. PORrARLINGTON V. CROTIANE. The Loan CHANCELLOR continued the injunction in thi. case in favour of Lord Portarlington, on conoition that he paid the sum in question (1,9001.) into Court on or before the 25th of Match next. JONES V. POWELL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on the application of Mr. BAOSHAWE to know when it would he convenient for the Court to dispose of this application, which was for a new trial of isstps, state! that be was clearly of opinion there must be a new trial of all the issues. There had be, n a miscarriage. The miscarriage was not owing, it had been alleg,d, to the frame of the issues, but if he cnuld add any few words c ilculatvd to prevent such an errt,r 13,.;ng fallen into again as had been committed, he would, in the course of a few days, add those words. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY.ORNERAL V. STROUD. In this case, which we noticed yesterday, Mr. PEM BEATON this mernin4 addressed the Court in behalf of the de erolants, the trustees 44 the original foundation. The only two points insisted on at the bar were, first, that there should be a scheme approved of by the toaster for the administration of the connexion, and that an ac aunt be directed against the defendants as trustees from the time they had respectively come into the possession of the trust property. None of them had the least per sonal interest in the matter, and they would at once have submitted to the decree now sought at the bar, did they not entertain the conviction, that if such a decree were pronounced, the necessary consequence of discussions and proceedings in the Master's office, instead of establishing, would be extremely injurious to that foundation which it was the professed object of this information to protect and support. In order to vindicate his clients from the imputations which had been thrown upon them, the Learned Counsel dwelt, at some length, en the abandonment at the la.r of all the material allega tions against the trustees. The information prayed, that having grossly and wilfully perverted the trust funds, they might be removed from being trustees, whereas at the bar all that was insisted on was, that they had been a little too tenacious of their digni.y. It was charged that the power of admitting and controlling the ministers of the connec tion belonged, not to the tiustees, but to the ministers of the congregation, who represented exclusively the connec tion ; and the real object of this information was to estabiish on the part of the ministers of the connection a control over the trustees, converting them, to use their• own expression, into something just equivalent to the box in which the title-deeds were kept, mere depositaries, having no control, no discretion, or infloenee, but subject in all aesi,ec i s to the dominion and authority of the mini• sters. It was quite clear that Lady Heroangdon bad uni formly during her life exercised a direct, unquestionable, and absolute discretion in all matters relating to the ap pointment, remuneration, and discharge of the ministers ; and tinder the provisions of her will it was equally obvious that the same powers, authority, and discretion were abso luiely vested in the trustees. The will conferred on them an absolute and indefeasible title and control over the property. His ilortoun considered it extremely difficult to know in what manner he altotild proceed. Surely the attention of the Attorney-General had not been duly called to the nature of the proceeding in this case. The Court was called on to execute what it was clearly of opinion was an illegal charity ; and how was it to act? The devise in Lady Huntingdon's will, on which the whole depended, consisting of fre: hold and h•aseho!cl property to the reli gious purposes of the connection she had founded, was al together void under the statute of thortmain. He was strongly of opinion that it was an illegal trust that was thus created here. The attention of the Attorney-General must again he called to it. The Court could make no decree in execution of an illegal trust; the only course it could pursue was to dismiss the information. Mr. PEMBERTON believed most since:ely that such would be by much the better course for all parties. To subject a spiritual charity of this sort to any process of administration in the Court of Chancery would be com pletely ruinous to all its best interests. His HONOUR said he could make no decree. There was here so much property held in mortmain as appeared to him in an illegal title. He would allow it to stand over fur some time, in order that the parties might have an Opportunity of considering what was tit to be done. Mr. BICKERSTETII stated that there had ben various subsequent devi•es of property—in one case alone amount ing to 29 0001. (but it did not appear precisely how much, it any of it, was personal property) to the defendants, as trustees, to be dedicated to the uses of Lady Huntingdon's connection. Mr. PEMBERTON contended that, although personal property was thus given, yet as it was grafted on the ori ginal idegal foundation for the same purposes, the gift was also void. His HONOUR concurred in opinion with Mr. Bicker steth, that personal ploperty might he subsequently given to the usts of Lady Huntingdon's will, although the devise under that original in.trument was partly void, under the statute of mut-twain, anti might be applied for the benefit of the connection as it was called ; but in the present case it was impossible for the Court, as at pressnt advised, to determine without qu dification anti dist?tiction bow far the prop< rty was petsonal y. Upon the whole, the parties to this information seemed to he adopting proceedin k s, the t &et of which might be to deprive them of a very large portion of this property under the statute of mnrtmain. lie could n• vet consent to make a decree, considering this an ulegal trust. The ease stands over till the first day of Easter Term, in order that by friendly coinninniration between the parties the poin!s ii dispute may be privately and amicably arranged.

Trinham Old, the younger, a fish salesman at Billingsgate, for selling unwholesome fish, on the 26th July, 1832. The indictment was tried at the last sittings in London, and the defendant was found guilty. TIIe SOLICITOR-GENERAL Ibis morning moved the judgment of the Court on the defendant. ➢lr. KELLY, on the part of the defendant, put in several affidavits in mitigation of punishment, and also giving the defendant a good character for integrity. The Learned Coun sel then addressed the Cuurt on behalf of his client. He (lid not deny that the circumstances of the ease were fit for invotigation, but he submitted that, from the high eba racter of the defendant, and from his very gre it integ city in the manner of conducting his business, the utmost that could be imputed to him was gross negligence in not exa mining with sufficient strictness his consignments of fish. It was proved that he was in the habit of receiving large consignments from Scotland, and it might happen that oc casionally a box of had fish would be in the lot. The de. fendant and his father had carried on business for thirty or forty yea's, and out of the large quantities of fi•h they received daily there had only been two complaints and those were not enforced. Therefore the utmost that could he said was that there was a want of proper caution. The present prosecution, would, however, operate as a stimulus to greater caution, not only on the part of the defendant, but on the part of all fish salesmen, and therefore there was no necessity of visiting the defendant with any severe punishment. The prosecution was instituted from the most praiseworthy motives ; hut it should be recollected that it was instituted at a period of considerable excite ment, when the cholera was prevalent, and therefore it was probable that at any other period no complaint would have been made. The defendant, like all other salesmen, experienced great loss during that period, and by the present prosecution he had already suffered very much. The Learned Counsel concluded by hoping that the ends of justice would be answered if the greatest lenity were shown to him. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the prosecution, stated that the defendant made it his boast that he had got off on two former occasions, merely by paying the costs: even then he did not exercise the caution which experi ence should have taught him, but at a period when it was known bad fish would encourage the spreading of a dreadful disorder, then but too prevalent, he chose to expose it for sale. The corporation of London had, therefore, felt it their duty to bring the case before a jury, and the defendant was now awaiting the judgment of the Court. The RECORDER followed on the same side. The LORD Cuter JUSTICE asked by whom the indict ment was removed into this Court ? The RECORDER said it was by the defendant. Their LORDSHIPS having consulted together, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE delivered the judgment of the Court. His Lordship said, be was happy to find that this was the first prosecution for selling unwholesome fish, because the Court hoped that the dealers in fish gene. rally so conducted their business as not to subject them selves to such a charge. Same years ago, there was a prosecution against a baker at Chelsea for mixing alum with his bread, and be was convicted; there bad been also a prosecution against a butcher for supplying unwhole some meat to some barracks, but this was the first priolecution for selling unwholesome fish. The Court were therefore not disposed to deal harshly with this case, in the hope that this prosecution would have a proper effect in deterring other persons from offending in future. It should be recollected, however, that at a period when the cholera was very prevalent it was dangerous to the puhle health to sell any unwholesome food, but particu. lady fish. Under all the circumstances, and in the hope that others as well as the defendant would be deterred from a similar offence, the Court were disposed, in con sideration of his good character, to deal leniently with him. The sentence of the Court was, that he pay a fine of 501. to the King, and to be imprisoned until that fine be paid. INSOLVENTS' COURT-(THIS DAY.) William Hill, a clerk in the East India House, was opposed in person by a creditor named Grouse. The opposition was not instituted with the view of prolonging the imprisonment of the insolvent, hut to obtain an appropriation of his salary towards the liquidation of his debts. It appeired that his salary, independent of per quisites, amounted to 1201. a year; he had a numerous family to support, and had been much embarrassed, owing to the continual indisposition of his wife. The opposing creditor said his debt was for clothes. He had no hostile feeling against his debt.ir, but only wanted a portion of his salary set aside for the benefit of himself and the other creditors. The Uarned CHIEF CONIMISSIONER said the insolvent would leave the Court without the slightest imputation on his character, but, as an insolvent deaor, he must make sacrifices to compensate his creditors. The insolvent was discharged, and the sum of 20/. a year ordered to be set aside towards the gradual liquida tion of his debts. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

COMMERCIAL.—( Front the London Mercantile Jour nal ..f yesteiday.)--The transactions in Colonial produce, by public sale, since our last, have been numerous but not heavy, and not confined to any particular articles. The great number of sales has not, however, caused any altera tion of moment in prices, which may be said to stand their ground. It was thought, in the earl•er part of the week, hoar the ext •nt of business, that prices would decline, but such anticipation has not been realiz,d, and the week has passed away very s•tti•factorily on the whole. Nearly 3,000 hhds. of British Plantation Sag 4r have passed into different hands during the we k, at full former prices. Our imports have again been inconsiderable, owing to the con trary winds.
