entertaining a confidence which it was our own misfortune largely to partake of with them. The disappointment, however, has worked cala mitously, having formed the most prolific mate rial of what agitation and outrage followed, and the indirect origin of that coercive law which, no matter how effectual it may have been in repressing positive violations of the peace, and attacks upon life and property, still grappled with consequences only—not with causes—and operated favourably on the fears of the moment, hot left the national affections unconciliated. It is b!, , no means our wish to disparage the value or importance of any measure which restores the reign of even outward tr.anquillity, and enables men to sleep in safety. A wild beast must be chains d, and a madman waistcoated ; and a great blessing has been achieved when innocent lives are released from peril, by such necessary, though severe, appli cations. We repeat, therefore, in justice to the 'coercion law, and to the exemplary mildness 'with which it has been administered, that so far as actual outrage and disturbance went, it has, notwithstanding its unconstitutional cha racter, succeeded in restoring, in one part of Ireland, a state of order, and of general sub mission to the laws. But that such indications of social tranquillity will be lasting, that they would exist over to-morrow night, if by to morrow's noon the coercion law were to expire, he is a bold man who could dare to prophecy. No ; it is not in the nature of restraint to dry up the springs of disturbance. Fur that we must resort to other remedies. If Ireland is to he permanently cured—if a feeling of goodwill towards the laws, and towards Eng land, the legislating power, is to be created, —if the animating principle of " repeal of the Union," the discontent of the people with the British Government, is ever to be extin guished, and " peace in the spirit of peace" to he hoped for, Parliament must at once redeem its pledge—it must head the confederacy for the abolition of tithe. It must, besides, deal vigorously with the frightful abuses of the land lord power ; it must liberally provide for, as well as anxiously and skilfully watch over, the educa tion of a quick, susceptible, and unsteady race: then indeed will the " matter of sedition" be exhausted, and the dynasty of demagogues be overturned ; then will the platform drop from under O'Connell's feet—the shouts which now deafen us for " repeal of the union" will sink into some partial and feeble murmurs, and law and constitutional authority will assume in Ire ' land the exercise of those rights from which en tire centuries of oppression and faction have ousted them.— Trues. The Conservative lawyers aini pre , s are in dulging in grave dissertations on the validity and authority of the Corporation Commission, while the municipal corporations throughout England, Wales, and Ireland, arc, with two Ultra-Tory exceptions, commendably respecting its powers, and honourably permitting a public inquiry into public trusts. We shall not idly discuss the historical and political arguments for or against the Commission. It is simply a mode of inquiry into the existing state of mu nicipal institutions and notorious abuses. In the majority of boroughs, the corporators have usurped the ancient municipal rights of the middle classes and householders. They have iinpuently claimed, *.as private property, the funds originally vested in them for public in terests ; and they have frequently and scanda lously perverted, to political and sinister pur poses, the powers and authority intrusted to them for the municipal advantage of the com munities. It is, therefore, natural that the Conservatives who garrison these strongholds of corruption should feel dismayed at the close siege of their remaining political for tresses. The Morning Post of yesterday is charmed with the political opinions and no table discoveries of Sir Jaa.es Scarlett, Mr. Follett, and a Mr. Retinal!, and pathetically laments the folly of those corporations which have honourably submitted to the Royal Cow mission. The times are changed since our con temporary justified any act of a King or a Par liament ; a Reformed House of Commons and a popular Monarch materially alter the venera tion of the Morning Post towards the Govern ment. The Merchant Tailors' Company have wasted their funds in paying for such Counsels' opinions as those in answer to the case sub mitted by the Company's Cleik, Mr, Mole. Sir James Scarlett labours to show that the Com missioners have no power of compulsion, and we are not aware that they have ever claimed or exercised any such authority. In the instance of Leicester, we observed that what the Corpo rators denied the inhabitants amply afforded ; and we do not doubt that if the Merchant Tailors' Executive Managersiesist public opinion, sufficient communications will be given to the Commissioners by the freemen of the Company. A public meeting of the freemen of the Com any is said to be contemplated, and Saint Thomas's Day may sensibly display the opinions of the majority of the Livery of London on the subject of Corporate Reform. The second query to the Learned Counsel, viz., whether the Mer chant Tailors' Company is a municipal corporation exhibits no very extreme confidence in the objections to the constitutional character of the Commission. Sir James Scarlett " owns" that he finds " considerable difficulty in bringing the Merchant Tailors' Company within any proper definition of the words Municipal Corporation." Mr. Follett is " disposed" "to think" that it cannot properly be called a municipal corpora tion. Mr. Rennal is of the same opinion. It would thus appear that the three learned counsel did not consider the resistance of the Merchant Tailors' Company w e ll f oun d e d on a tec h n i ca l opposition to the authority of the Commission ; and they, therefore, by a singular coincidence, all assume the false position of a play on the word " municipal." A more transparently party or absurd opinion never was given, th an t h a t a City company is not part and parcel of the Lon don Corporation, or the latter a branch and integral portion of the former. The companies are the door-ways to the municipal franchise and rights of citizenship. But the clerk of the company has himself settled this municipal question, as the followin g singular contrast to his query to Sir James Scarlett in an affidavit in 1831 will inconveniently show : " Mr. J. B. De Mole, in the "M.J.IL Dc Mole, in the case, November, 15.33, asks— affidavit, January, b 331, de. ' Whether or not the Mer. Glares—' And this deponent chant Tailors' Company is a further saith that by virtue of municipal Corporation or a the same charter, or of former Corporation of that character, charters, the members of the nature, and description, as to said fraternity as such, and by be legally within the scope becoming either freemen or h. and power of such commis. verymen of the same, become pion P " enabled to, and, in fact, enjoy many benefits and privileges, municipal and mercantile, in the city of London.' " The " roving" nature of the opinions of these barristers is palpable throughout their laboured documents, though the superior craft of Mr. Follett is ingeniously exhibited in the brevity of his answers. In the " scholion" note of Sir James Scarlett he has christened the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel by the Roman names of Marius and Cinna ; those two States men and the nomination boroughs fell a sacrifice to " Sylla the Dictator," or in plain English to public opinion —before which also the close Corporations will fall. Sir James Scarlett, who was an old Whig, may have a cunning instinct in the tricks of party, but rats sometimes run into a wrong hole.—Morning Chronicle. There is amongst the public men of England one who has experienced an extraordinary vicis situde of fortune, and whose career should not be forgotten at the present day and hour. This individual set out in life as a member of that profession which has not only its peculiar reward, but leads also to the chief honours of the political world. He courted the double fortune, and it smiled upon him. At the Bar his progress was rapid and steady, until, at length, he attained the highest estimation amongst his professors, and was looked upon as an ornament to it, and an honour to his country. He only wanted poli- tical connection to have his success consummated with the investiture of the ermine. This, how ever, he had never sought for to the sacrifice of principle. He connected himself early with the party which, for its professions, enjoyed the public esteem, and was not likely to obtain any more substantial reward. With it he thought and acted, and he enjoyed its highest confidence. In council he was sagacious, and in his language moderate, perspicuous, and impressive. He rose in the Commons less as a debater than as an authority, and even by his warmest opponents was he respected. What is the sequel ? His party is now established in power ; but where is he ? Our readers must have felt that we have been alluding to Sir J. Scarlett. Had he never separated himself from his party, and the course of events been uninfluenced by such a circum stance, who can doubt that he would now be either Lord Chancellor or Lord Chief Justice of England ? But there was nothing base, nothing treacherous, nothing dishonourable in the course he pursued in connecting himself with Canning, or with the Duke of Wellington, pledged to Catholic emancipation, then the touchstone of liberal opinions. Others of his friends had done the like—there was at the time a disorganization of parties. Wherein, then, was the unequivocal error which exercised so decisive an influence on his actions, and caused so great a change as has taken place in his course—which has clothed him in the livery of Toryism, and, upon the restoration of par ties, has marshalled him amongst the direct antagonists of his early friends, the systematic enemies of a line of policy of which, in the natural course of events, he should have been a zealous promoter ? The answer is—in his prosecutions of the press for libel. That was the sin by which he fell. For whether those vindictive proceedings by which he ran down an obnoxious public writer were prompted by the Minister under whom he served, or by his own uninfluenced judgment, it drew upon him the severe reprehension of the Whigs, which had the effect of binding him for ever, perhaps under excited feelings, to the party with which he then acted, and for ever estranging him from those with whom he had grown up — a brother in political principles. His crying offence was, that he spurned the abstract doc trines of Whiisin—the professions of Whigism, viz., that the law of libel, as applied to political opinions or strictures upon public men for their public actions, is inexpedient, and contrary to the genius of the British Constitution. It was for his abandonment of this article of his old creed that Sir James Scarlett drew upon himself the hostility of his quondam friends. For this has he been thrown into the depths of Toryism; for this has he been stripped'of public esteem, and for this does he now, the first man—the very first man of the English Bar—labour as an Advocate. Meantime another Whig, in the very reign of Whigism, and at the very moment when he ostentatiously claims credit for his Whigism, pursues the same obnoxious career, with this only difference, that he prosecutes for himself alone, while the ex-Attorney-General prosecuted for others—for the very public itself —to which the systematic tirades of his victim seemed to threaten inconvenience. But the end crowns the work, and we shall see.—Morning Herald. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nor. 22. REECE V. MORGAN. This was an action of assumpsit tried at the last Assizes for Carmarthen. The plaintiff was the holder of a promissory note, accepted by the deceased husband of the defendant, who was in the situation of an executor. There was a plea of plene adminia travit, and a verdict for the defendant. The Court was subsequently moved to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial, and a rule Nisi having been granted, Mr. EVANS this day opposed it. The COURT, after attending to the points in dis pute, expressed an opinion that the pleadings re quired amendment. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, at the rising of the Court, intimated that new trials would not be taken to-morrow (this day). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 22. ALLESON AND ANOTHER V. DOWNES. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, re spectable solicitors, against the defendant, to re cover the amount of a bill of costs secured by a guarantee. A person of the name of Moreland had certain proceedings pending before the Court of Review. His solicitor, being attacked with cholera, died, after which he (Moreland) was introduced to the plaintiff-, who declined being concerned for him unless he could procure them the guarantee of some respec table person to secure their costs. The defendant accordingly passed a general guarantee for plain tiffs. A petition was filed in the Court of Review, but when Moreland's Counsel read the aflidavitsof the opposite party they advised them to abandon the case, or he would subjtct himself to a loss of 6001., which he refused to do. Moreland pub lished a handbill charging his own solicitor, the plaintiffs, and his Counsel with having entered into a conspiracy with the opposite party : and when the business came next before the Court of Review the Counsel threw up their briefs on seeing the handbill, though when they retained them they re ceived no fee. After numerous witnesses were examined on both sides, Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, for the defendant, cor; tended that the guarantee in question was so gene ral it was indefinite. Mr. Sergeant 60LERIDGE replied, on the part of the plaintiffs, that it wai absurd to assume that the defendant was ignorant of the guarantee he had signed. — The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs for the sum claimed. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 22. STOKES V. WHITE. This was an action on a case stated, to recover damages sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of an improper arrest. The plaintiff's complaint rested on two grounds--first, that he was arrested when attending to give evidence as a witness; and second, that he was attested although, as an at torney of the King's Bench, he was privileged from any exercise of that process. On the trial before the Lord Chief Baron at the Sittings after last Term a verdict for the plaintiff, with 101. damages, was returned. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared to show cause against a rule Nisi obtained by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for leave to enter a nonsuir, or for an arrest of judgment. 'With respect to the complaint of the arrest of the plaintiff notwithstanding his privi lege of attorney, the Learned Counsel contended that, since the remodelling of the Court of Exche quer by Act of Parliament, its officers were placed on the same footing as the officers of any of the other Courts with regard to suits against attorneys, the peculiar privilege of arresting being taken from them. This alteration took place upon—he trusted he should not be considered as using an offensive expression—the reform of the Court. Baron BAYLEY—Oh, no; the expression is not at F.ll offensive. Lord LYNDttußsT—That depends entirely on the sense in which it is used. It is a word of very equivocal meaning.—(Laughter.) Mr. KELLY was about to follow, but as it was then about four o'clock, the Court adjourned the further hearing of the case until Monday next. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 22. JOHN BARENBURGII'S BANKRUPTCY. The creditors in this case met to-day, to examine the bankrupt and several witnesses, relative to the alleged illegal detention of property. It is one of those cases in which the assignees have been put to great trouble in obtaining a clue to property which ought to be divided among them, but which has been removed. Several witnesses were examined, and during the investigation, which lasted nearly five hours, the parties being persons of the Jewish per suasion, the depositions showed the most extra ordinary instances of conflicting testimony. Counsel attended for the estate and the bankrupt, and at five o'clock adjournment was asked for. Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS said this was a case which, for the interests of public justice and the protection of creditors, must be sifted to the bottom, and if parties connected with the bankrupt were not careful an example should be made of them, which he hoped would be a warning to others. He agreed to the adjournment. In consequence of the examination not being complete, the report of the facts, which are im portant, and may seriously affect the characters of parties, is withheld for the present.

KEEN presented a petition on behalf of Pierre Frangois Laporte, the lessee of the 'i:pera House, under the demise of the assignees of Messrs. Chambers, bankrupts. Upon the representation that M. Laporte was extremely desirous of proceed ing to Italy and other parts of the Continent, for the purpose of engaging performers and making the necessary arrangements for the ensuing season, the Court had directed yesterday that this petition should be heard immediately after the case of " Bel cher v. Moberly," then before the Court; but that case having occupied the whole day, and ❑ot being yet concluded, M. Laporte's petition was allowed, under the circumstances, to take precedence of it this day. M. Laporte, in 1832, took a lease of the Opera House for three years, from the assignees of Messrs. Chambers, at a rent of 13,2501. Notwith standing all the exertions made by M. Laporte during the last season, he had found it impossible, under the pressure of so excessive a rent, to derive a fair remunerating profit from the theatre. The ob ject of the present petition was to obtain the sanc tion of the Court to a reduction of the rent from 13,2501. to 10,0001. per annum, which was the amount of rent found to be just and reasonable by the report of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, and also to relieve the petitioner from the embarrassment occasioned by a sub-lease of boxes to a trustee, which was one of the conditions under which he at present held the theatre. Mr. SWANSTON and Mr. MONTAGU for the assig nees of Messrs. Chambers, stated that an offer had been made by a gentleman, who ,vas ready to find unexceptionable security, to takc A lc c of ►lie theatre for five years, at a rent of 11.0001. per an num. If, therefore, the Court acceded to the pre sent application, they were bound, with a view to the benefit of the bankrupt's estate, to insist at least upon M Laporte paying a rent of 11,0001. for the residue of his term. Mr. B. KEEN contended that a rent of 10,0001. was the maximum fixed by the Commissioner; that the consequences of letting the theatre at an exor bitant rent had already been_ proved in the case of Mr. Monck Mason, who had taken the Opera-house at a rent of 16 0001. The COURT granted the petition, and it was re ferred to the registrar to settle a new lease to M. Laporte, at a rent of 10,0001. a year, and without the sub-lease of boxes to a trustee. VALUE OF LAND.—Owing to the traffic produced by the railway and new collieries on Whitwick waste lard, which twenty years ago would not have fetched 201. per acre, is now selling in lots at from 4001. to 5001. fur building. The high chimneys, and numerous other erections upon the spot, give the neighbourhood quite an improved appearance. It is intended to call thin new colony " Coalville."—Leicester Chronicle. —LWe wonder if the landlords in this neighbourhood fear the importation of food, and consequent increase of population, as a circumstance likely to bring down rents.—En. SUN Some curiosity was excited in York last week by fee arrival of a man in a sailor's dress, with a travel ling machine, as he termed it, of his own construction. It is on the velocipede principle, but an improvement upon those hitherto seen. A circle just wide enough to admit the traveller's person encompasses his waist, and to a hori zontal shaft proceeding from each side of this circle are fixed a pair of wheels, light in their construction, and about six feet in diameter. Close by the ring arise, to support the arms, two short crutches, which, with the circle, are cushioned and stuff-d. The body is thus so supported that the feet can just point the ground to make a stroke, which puta the wheels in motion. The whole is directed by a lever upon which the hands rest, and by this simple contrivance the man says that on a tolerably good road he can travel nine miles an hour with great ease. Ile was very expert in his motions, and guided the machine, as regarded turning and stopping, with facility.— York Herald. - _ LITERARY NOVELTIES.—Mr. Horace Smith's novel of " Bramhletye House," we understand, will form the December Number of " Calburn's Modern Novelists," which are publishing at a lower price than the Waverley Novels. On the first of the next month, with the Magazines, will also appear, on th e same p l an of cheap monthly publication, the first number of the " Irish National Tales and Romances," containing Mr. Banjul's story of the "N owlans," and th e fi rst num b er of the " Naval and Military Library of Entertainment," containing Captain Marcyles " Naval Officer," also " Lord Byron's Conversations with Lady Ressington," complete in 1 vol.—Mr. Carne's Account of his "Travels in Switzerland," 1 vol.—and Mr. L e i g h H unt ' s prose sketches, entitled " T he Indicator and the Companion," 2 vols.

CAPTAIN ROSS'S CHRONOMETERS. — The return of this adventurous officer, in safety from his peri lous arctic expedition, bas caused the following rather siugular and amusing perplexity :—When Captain Ross was about to start from London in 1829, on his voyage, an eminent chronometer maker in Cornhill requested him to take out with him four of his best made chronometers, in order to ascertain their goodness by subjecting them to the trial of the intense climate of the north. Captain Ross accordingly took the chronometers out with him, and in order to guard against casualties, the owner of the instru ment!' took the precaution to insure them at Lloyd's, they being of great value, but he did not deem it necessary to insure, as we understand, to the full amount for which they were even then saleable at home, not considering that the hazard of losing them was very great. The long unac counted for absence of Captain Ross, without any commu. nication being had with him for nearly four years, excited a larm for the safety of himself and cre w, and indeed left but little doubt that they had prished. In these circum s.snces, the period having elapsed without hearing any thing of the property insured, when by law the owner is entitled to the sum insured, the chronometer maker claimed and received of Lloyd's the amount of the insurance of his instruments, which were given up by a ll p art , es as l ust. Since then, Captain Rosa happily returned in safety, and with him the four chronometers, which proved in the se vere trial to which they had bred submitted, to be of an all but perfect construc . ion, as to the regulation of time, and of course, the value, now cons id er i ng a ll t h ose ad ventures, and their avowed goodness, is scarcely to be named. It is not to be wondered then, that the original owner should be most desirous to possess them again, but unf or t una t e l y f or hi m , other ow ners are now substitu'ed, for Lloyd's have claimed the chronometers as being their property, having p iid the sum insured on them. In vain has the maker offered to return the amount insured with interest, fur so great is the tsti mation in which the chronometers are held by Lloyd's, that on no conditions would the establishment part with them to other hands.—Blachburn Gazette.

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market has been very brisk all the week ; the estimated sales are 4,000 Rids. and trs.; the prices are generally 6d. a Is. per cwt. higher, Brown 13erhice 50s. a 50s. 6(1., all other Brown , 51s. and 525. In Refined there is still an extensive inquiry, and fine Crashed is now held firmly at 325. ; Brown Lumps 615., and all goods under 725. are in dernarui. Some fine Loaves made from Foreign Sugar under the late Act ate on sale at 359. a 375. This afternosn for the fine de scriptions of Crashed there is still a dem and, but there are very few parcels remaining on band, and the refiners generally demand 325. ; for low Crashed also there are a few inquiries, but in consequence of the scarcity of large Lumps very few parcels have been sold ; of the fine Grocery descriptions there is an abundant supply, and prices are barely maintained. MAURITIUS SUGAR.—The Mauritius at public sale have gone off freely, good and fine strong Brown 51s. a 525. 6d. ; Yellow 535. a 575., very full prices. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The East India offered are Siam., which have sold briskly at Is. advance, fine Brown to good White 21s. 6d. a 25% 6d. This day's sale, 3.317 bags Siam Sugars sold at full Market prices, 20s. 6d. a 251., but without briskness. FOREIGN SUGAR.—There is rather an extensive in quiry for Foreign Sugar for Refining, but all business is stopped till the adjustment of the Tares; the trade insist upon open and Revenue Tares, the former allowance, 13Ibs. per cwt., being inadequate to the general run of these Sugars: the request is reasonable, and in our opinion ought to be granted ; it Wntild give girac facilities to Li atle. NEST INDIA Mor,Assits.—The sales of good quality at 275. are considerable, chiefly Demerara. COFFEE.—There is no alteration in Coffee ; the late sales are good ord. Sumatra 525. Gd., ord. 48s. a 495. ; yellow Mysore 695. Gd. ; slightly damaged St. Domingo 54-4., sound taken in at 57.. 641. ; mid. Demerara and Berbice 87s. Gd. a 90s. ; Jamaica clean scarce, and fully maintains late prices. This day's public sales 1,126 bags very good Sr. Domingo sold at 601., which is 2s. a 3s. higher than the late nominal price, damaged 56, ; a small parcel of fair Sumatra sold 475. a 505.; good yellow Ba tavia 565. 61 and 575., both at former prices; 42 casks 339 bags Demerara and Berbice, the latter nearly all taken in ; the Demerara sold at previous prices. The Market generally has a very favourable appearance this afternoon. Cocoa.—Sales to a small extent are reported, onl. Trinidad 485., fine Grenada 565. Rum, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.--The Rum Market is very steady; fair quality Jamaicl per duty 30 to 32 over sold 3s. and 3s. ld., common quality 29 over at 2s. Sd. ; proof Leewards 25., but the sales are not exten sive. Brandy continues dull. Geneva still neglected. IRISH PROVISIONS.—Since our last of Tuesday, owing to contrary winds prevailing, the arrival of foreign Butter, as well as of Irish, and of Bacon also, have been very trivial, notwithstanding which the market has been, and is still, in a very depressed and inanimate state. Prices fer both Butter and Bacon must be considered nominally the same as those quoted in our last, and the same remark may be applied to all other articles under this head, except in a partial instance or two. Sales of Limerick prime singed Bacon, under 24 cwt , per 10 bales, have been made for immediate shipment at 31s. per cwt. free on beard, a pr ice sever t 1 pounds per ton below that at which such description was bringing at this time last year, or at which Beef or Mutton is at present selling, not only in London, but in the most remote parts of this country; the existing stagnation among the trade is altogether un accountable, and, with respect to Butter, although present prices cannot be considered by any means dear or hazard ous, unless the weather should ere lung set in severe, or some other unexpected circumstance arise, the speculative holders just now of that article in Ireland, as well as a few speculative agents in this market also, may feel a repetition of losses (although not perhaps to the same extent) that their want of judgment led them into last season. TALLOW.—The Tallow Market remains steady at the late advance. SALTTETRE.-Saltpetre is in more demand at Is. ad vance on the India House sale prices. Sales of rough Calcutta, 14 refraction, at 325. This day's public sale 3,613 bags Saltpetre 21 to 5 refraction, 335. 6d. a 355. 64. ; 20 per cent. 325. ; about Is. higher than the India House s ile. RICE.—The ord. White Bengal was taken in at public sale at 11s., ord. Java sold Bs. 6d. a 108., fine, 10s. 61. a 11s., in large parcels. Tins day's public sale 1,830 bags white Bengal, Patna kind, sold at 14s. a 155., which is rather lower. SPICES.-Pimento sells at full prices, mid. to good 4/d., a 4d., ord. 40. a 4/d. The Pepper sold by plivate contract has been at full Market prices. This day's sales 5,478 bags Pepper, ord. light dusty Sumatra sold at full prices, 3d. a 3/d. INDIGO.—The Market looks more firm; abut 50 chests changed bands yesterday at full prices, and in slime instances a small premium on the last East India House sale, and several parcels of the July sale about the same rates as real zed lately at the India House. sales for COTTON.—The wrrelelek a Cotton re e limited ttocontinuesovery bags s ul a l t; low prices ; the accounts from the out-ports are equary g l oom y, but the report of the Manchester Market states that goons and yarns are in good demand at the late reduction in tl e prices. The particulars of the sales are 300 Surats, mid. 5d., good 6/d. FRUIT.—The parcel of new Turkey Fruit offered by public sale was taken off freely, as follows :-7,025 drums new Turkey pulled figs at 60s. for sound, and 445. a 455. for damaged, one lot fine at 655., and about 200 drums very superior at 778.-101 brie. 300 half, and 300 qr. chests, and 520 drums Elenie Raisins at 461. a 475. 1 r sound, and 445. a 455. for damaged ; 188 brie. red Smyrna Railing at 435. a 44e. for sound, and 40s. a 12s. for damaged ; 410 brie. red Raisins, ittina:Static l3oo . of an inferior description, were:bought-in at 405., but have since been iiut on tap at 88s. ; 48 butts and2ocaroteels Patras Currants, damaged, were a l so so ld by publiC sale on Tuesday at 81s. a S2s. for butts, and 82s. a 841. toe caroteels ; of new Muscatel Raisins a large parcel was offered, but the greater part bought in at rather lower prices. The demand this week has improved, particularly for the common sorts, and new Valentia Rasing have been taken off more freely at 488. ; another parcel of new red' Smyrna Raisins at 445., and cases and barrels of Elena Raisins at 46a. a 475., and some quarter chests of ''l' line quality at 505., and pulled Turkey Figs at 60s.a6SIs PRICE OF SUGAR.
