" (Addressed) James Cuaniugton, Esq., mford." LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The Sugar Market last week continued in a very languid state ; the total sales for the week were about 2,500 hhds. and tr.. The Sugar Market continues in a languid state, but no alteration can be stated in prices. The estimated sales this day, including the Barbadoes sale (which went off with briskness at high prices, 565. to 605.), are 700 hhds. and trs. The stock of West India Sugar is now 41,019 hhds. and tra:, being 9,245 more tban last year; the stock of Mauritius 78,783 bags, being 22,308 more than last year. The delivery of West India is 3,163 hhds. and tra , being 544 more than last year; the deli very of Mauritius is 2,244 bags, being 3;467 less than the corresponding week of 1832. The Refined Market con tinued in a depressed state last week ; few buyers appeared either for export or home consumption. Fine Crashed was offered at 31s. 6d.; the offers were 6d. to Is. under that rate, but were not accepted. Fine goods for home consumption continue in plentiful supply, and are offered at rather lower rates without facilitating sales to any ex tent. Low goods continue very scarce, scarcely any. Lumps appear on sale; parcels of refined from Foreign Sugar are reported sold at 295. 6t1., equal to good Lumps four houses are now manufacturing from Foreign Sugar. There is no alteration in the Refined Market this after noon. It is reported that fine Crashed is offered lower, and one parcel is sold at 30s. ; Lumps nominally 645. Matrarrius SUGAR.--A further reduction of ls. per cwt. took place, the brown descriptions sold 425. a 459., and all the inferior were nearly unsaleable, the fine above 501. supported prices. EAST INDIA SUGAR. -No sales of any extent were re ported 1 ist week. Fonatiata SUGAR.-The holders of Foreign Sugar are rather firm in their demands, and in consequence no pur chases were reported last week. Average price of Sugar 11. 9.. 244. per cwt. WEST INDIA MOLASSES. -There were sales to the extent of 300 puns. West India Molasses last week, chiefly of good quality, at 275. COFFEE.-There is little alteration to notice in Fo reign or East India Coffee ; of the latter no sales are reported ; of Foreign the purchases are confined to good ord. Brazil 605., and low St. Domingo 56a. 6d. In British Plantation descriptions there have been few actual sales ; the clean Jamaica not only fully supported late prices, but in several instances have sold rather higher; good ordinary realised 84s. and 855., the fine ordinary 925. and 92a. 6d. The parcels of Demerara and Berbice offered have been mostly unclean descriptions, and have sold at a further reduction of It. 6d. to 2s. ; middling 84.4. to 86s. ; good middling Berbice 90s. and 91s. There was no public sale this day, and no purchase by private contract was reported up to a late hour. Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS. --The late sales of Rum are proof Leewards at IP. 1 td., but no parcels now offer at that rate ; proofs and three over have sold at 2s. ; Jamaica, ord. quality 30 over sold at 2s. Bd., and good quality of the same strength 29. 9d. a 2.. 10d., large parcels of a favourite mark have been also reported, but the price of the latter has not transpired; generally there are more inquiries for Ruin, but the merchants' orders are limited as to prices ; they do not appear to execute them freely. In Brandy or Geneva there is no alteration. This afternoon the price of the large parcel of fine Ja maicas, favourite mark, sold last week, is reported about 3.. 2d. There is more doing in Brandies ; the sales are Brandies of first marks of 1833, in puns. 3s. 4d., in Mids. 34. 6.1. ; of 1832, in puns. 3.. Bd., in hlids. 3s. 9d. TaLLow.--The Tallow Market continues to attract much attention, on account of the extensive contracts to deliver Tallow at a stated period, particularly for this year, and the detention of the expected arrivals by the severe gales from the westward ; the accounts from St. Peters purgh are to the 20th ult., at which date abut two hundred vessels of all nations remained in that port, and from the westerly gales experienced in England, it is not probable they can arrive here before the Ist of January, and may very prob ably have to winter in the Baltic. The accounts from Odessa are to the 11th ult., about thirty sail of all nations were in that port; the English vessels chartered to bring Tallow were in several cases loading Wool and other articles, the supply of Tallow being greatly under the an ticipated quantity. Under these circannstances the Tallow Market is gradually advancing and firm at the improve ment ; the great speculators for the tall are in a state of great excitement, watching every turn of the wind, in the anticipation of a change, and of the expected large at rivals. At a late hour this evening the price was 465. 6 1 . ; the advance appears still gradual, owing to the increasing demand for home consumption, occasioned by the de ficiency in the home supply throughout the kingdom, and also from the detention of so many ships at St. Peters burgh, to which we have alluded, and which may occasion inconvenience to those who have sold thousands beyond what they ever possessed, and may he attended with a rapid rise. The stork on the Ist of January, it is expected, will be undo 20,000 casks ; tinder these circumstances there are few sellers of Tallow this afternoon. IRISH PROVISIONS -In the last week the arrivals of b ith Foreign and Irish Butter, as well as at Bacon, were moderate-s y 2.979 casks of foreign Butter, 6,182 firks. of Irish, and 703 bal.!! of Bacon, in addition to which, however, we have to note a further arrival yesterday of 1,887 firka. of Iri•N butter, and 812 bales of Bacon. Tne Market is in an unprecedented dull and gloomy state, with no prospect of improvement, at least at present, in either price or demand ; on the contrary, sellers in general have shown a disposition the last two or three (lays to accept of less money, particularly for most descriptions of Butter. The following we give as this d ty's quotations for Butter, some of which must be considered nominal, the business &dog is altogether so very limited. Friesland Butter at the quay 904. per cwt. ; Carlow (as to repute of shippers) 765. a 834. on board, 795. a 85s. landed ; Belfast '79s. on board, 80s. landed ; Waterford 70s. a 745. on board, 70a. a 754. landed ; Cork (as to the selection of low qualities) 725. a 735. on board, 735. a '74s. landed ; Limerick 70 4% on board, 725. a 73'. lauded ; Sligo 68s. a 695. on board, 70s. landed; Dublin 659. on board, 665. a 67a. landed ; Westmeath 675. on board, 68s a 69'. landed ; Newry 665. a 675. on board, and Banbridge 604. on hoard for parcels now shipped.

But it is n case: for months, nay years, a re g ark? . i's**ni s tof,W i c4/ 1 4, detraction and insult has been pursued • - press against all the friends of reform, and JUT all connected with them ; calumny after calumny has been invented and circulated against all•-the - • • = , able and influential leaders in that cause, with a ma lignity most revolting, and a profusion which sets all former experience at defiance, and haffies, i all attempts to discover and refute every such aspersion gI R ICE 71 upon the characters of the injured individuals. Now why should any individuals be everlastingly exp6sed to such a system of annoyance? Why are their kNDERL feelings to be outraged by such repeated calumnies, or their attention occupied in watching and refuting the , them ? What right has any man, or any set of be men, to impose such a burden upon them ? No one, surely, can maintain that; and even in this point of view, we think, the parties seeking redress from such an annoyance are justified in the expec tation that they will not be considered as stepping beyond the bounds of propriety. But when, in ad dition to this, it is known that this regular sysr,em of annoyance was begun, and is kept up, by instigation, and for base private and party pur poses, that a channel of publication is eagerly and readily afforded for the outpourings of all ma• lignant and envious persons, and that the suffer !rigs of the tortured breasts are treated as proper sub jects of a joke, it does really seem to be a remedy quite beside the mark, and little short of mockery, to recommend patience to the sufferers, and to de precate their attempts to do themselves justice. Could, indeed, the instigators be got ar, that would greatly alter the matter, and none would more si, se cerely re-joice than ourselves at seeing the current of injured feeling turned against them; but since they cannot be reached, all these fine feelings and argu ments are surely thrown away in attempting to screen their instruments from that punishment which they have so unceasingly endeavoured to earn. But patient endurance has been practised, and has been found to bring no relief from the annoyance. Why is it, therefore, to be longer cont:nued ? But, can it be longer continued ? The occurrences which have l4tely taken place, and are taking place in this neighbourhood, show that outraged feelings are not to be restrained, but in one way or other will have vent. Surely, then, it is better both for the cause of free discussion and the peace and good order of society, that the sufferers from such calumnies should be allowed to take,--and not discourage, by tine-drawn \ arguments, from taking those melsures for redress which the laws of their country afford them. Resides, whilst such severity is exercised against the Reform Press, it is fut•le to suppose that the heavy and repeated transgressions com plained of can be patiently submitted to. (From the Liverpool Albion.) The players, amusing rogues, tell the critics, that, rather than not he noticed, they would prefer to be censured ; because, say they, to be deemed worthy of critical condemnation is a proof that, though wretched actors, we are not beneath the notice of the critics. We never could understand the philo sophy of this strange opinion, nor enter into the feelings of men who are alike eager for praise or censure. Be this as it may, if Lord Durham is of the players' opinion, he must be the happiest man alive. The speeches with which he lately delighted the Whigs of the north, and even cheered the hearts of the Reformers throughout the kingdom, were lauded by his friends and censured by his enemies; a most convincing proof that all parties deem the Noble Lord worthy of their notice. Then, passing from his Lordship's sayings to'his doings, the latter have placed him in a more enviable situation, ac cording to the players' rule, than even the former. His sayings procured for him both praise and cen sure; his doings have called down on his head the censure, not merely of the Tory, but of the Radical, and, in some instances, of the Whig press also; another most convincing proof that his Lordship is a man of mark and livelihood, and that his every word and action are narrowly watched by the vigi lant guardians of the press. " A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind." If the printer in question had stolen Lord Durham's purse, not a hand would have been held up in his favour; but because he attempted to rob his Lord ship of his character only, universal sympathy is expressed for the slanderer. The writers for the press forget the lines of the immortal bard— " Who steals my purse, steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name, Reiss me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed." The immediate cause of this almost simultane ous attack on Lord Durham is the circumstance of his having commenced legal proceedings against a punter for the publication of a libel on his character. A journalist in the Noah, where his personal friends and enemies chiefly reside, publishes a bare faced lie respecting the Noble Lord. His Lordship, whom the Tory Journals have long made the butt of their attacks, irritated by the audacity of the lie, orders his solicitor to take legal proceedings against the printer, who, in the hope of averting the threatening prosecution, confesses the lie, and craves forgiveness. The Whig papers hope, and the Tory papers expect, that this abject confession of guilt will induce his Lordship to stay proceedings. But he, having sustained the wrong, is bent on the remedy; and resolutely proceeds with his action against the printer. Thereupon the press is up in arms against his Lordship. The Tory journals de nounce him as the enemy of its freedom, while the Liberal papers, " more in sorrow than in anger," question the policy of a crusade against the press. Lord Durham must by this time have discovered that he has thrust his hand into a hornet's nest; and that, how much soever they may differ on political subjects, the press, like the thieves, are wonderfully unanimous in deprecating an appeal to the law against an erring member. For ourselves, we are, professionally as well as individually, opposed tnsprosecutions for libel. Such prosecutions ought never, in our opinion, to be in stituted, except on occasions when a man's chae teeter has been calumniously and malignantly as• sailed. That Lord Durham's character has been so assailed there cannot be a doubt; neither can there be a doubt, that it is his Lordship's duty to vin dicate his fair fame from the calumnious and malig nant attacks of his personal and political enemies. Whether that vindication should be made by a de claration published in the Journals, consigning the libeller to the punishment of his own guilty con science and to the moral indignation of the com munity, or by an appeal to the law, handing over the culprit, on conviction, to its tender mercies, must be left to his Lordship's own judgment. He has chosen the latter course, and, all things con sidered, perhaps the most judicious one, if not for the vindication of his character, at least for the punishment of his slanderer. The attacks on his Lordship have, of late, been incessant, and it is too much to expect a generous and high-spirited man, conscious of the rectitude of his conduct and the honesty of his principles, to sit quiet under the systematic and malignant attacks of his personal and political enemies. The Tory journals, and many of the Liberal ones also, not content with condemning the prosecution, also condemn the mariner in which Lord Durham has been advised to proc eed. By preferring to proceed by a criminal information, instead of by the ordinary process, they complain that the defendant is precluded from proving the truth of his state ment. This objection would have some force, if the statement now under prosecution were true. The defendant cannot, however, sustain any injury, if the form of the action even shut him out from proving the truth of his publication, which it does not. He has, as we have before stated, confessed the lie, and he will not, to please the Tories, be guilty of a second in attempting to justify the first. (From the Newcastle Chronicle.) By various extracts which will be found in other parts of this paper, it will be seen that the calum nious conduct lately pursued by the Tory Press is exciting no little public discussion; it has, indeed, aroused a feeling which renders it almost certain, that in spite of all the sophisms and would-be liberal professions of that press, a further continuance in that career will not be permitted without a strenu ous effort to supply a corrective. To all unpreju diced persons, who have for any time paid attention to its conduct, it has long been evident that a crisis, such as seems now to have arrived, could not be very long delayed—that either that portion of the public which respects decency, order, and fair deal ng, would be obliged to emphatically mark with their discountenance the system of insult and detrac tion which that press has pursued, or that the tra duced individuals would be obliged to resort for protection to such means as the laws of their country afforded them. The public having failed to afford such protection, or at any rate their move ment being too slow and too undecided to satisfy the impatience and excitement of the sufferers, it has unfortunately been to legal measures that re course has been had to stay the virulence and punish the calumny of these systems is and impuden, traducers. That they are fully justifiable to resort ing to such measures, the public generally, we believe, freely admit, and not a small nor uninfluen tial portion of the public press fully coincides in such opinion, though one portion of it, whils t fully admitting the g rossness of the outrage, and that the attempted correctio n is justifiable, yet seems to doubt its expediency, and thinks that the dignity of the injured parties would have been better consulted by treating such calumnies with contempt, and by relying on the purity of their character for justice being done to them by the public. With all due deference to this portion of the press, we inu-t say that we think they argue the question much too curiously, with too large a portion of the esprit du corps, and with too muco of that restricted fseling which confines eve!) , thought to London, and which supposes that no other motives are at work than those they are familiar with. Were it only an insulated case that was complained of, they would no would be right, and few of the li b eral p art y ,we believe, ever think of recourse to other means than the contra- INTERVIEW of a DEPUTATION of the NEWSVENDERS with the LORD CHANCELLOR. In pursuance of resolutions passed at a general meeting of the newsvenders relative to actions brought against numerous individuals in the trade fir the vending of newspapers containing alieged libellous mater, a deputa tion from that body, consisting of Mr Wouler, who hail presided at the meeting, Mr. D. Hilton, the Secretaiy, Mr. L. Wild, and Mr. Gardner, waited upon the Lord Chancellor with the subjoined petition. His Linrdstiip received the deputation with his usual urbanity and affability, and made some minute inquiries respecting the proceedings now pending against the newsvenders. His Lordship stated, that he had some time since tirouzht a Bill into the House of Commons to amend the law of libel, which was read a first time, if not a second time ; hut that, through uncontrollable circumstances, it had been abandoned; and that from the letter of Sir F. Vincent to Mr. Hilton, which had been purilished, it seemed that Sir Francis was ignorant of that circumstance, but the Bill itself could be obtained from the Vote-office. At the same time, however, his Lordship said that he had never contemplated :my clause for the protection of newsmen, as he had never anticip ded that any construction could be put upon the law to affect those who merely .rewietl sews• papers. His Lordship then inquited what was the im mediate obj ct of the deputation. Was it that he should call the attention of Parliament to the law of libel, or thil of 'he Government? Mr. Wooler replied, that it was both ; but the deputation on the present occasion attended to present a petition to his Lordship, which he presenter accordingly; and further observed, that there were many other actions against newsvenders, one of which, against Mr. Onwhyn, he was ins•ructed to defend. As soon 89 Dicas heard that he was ►o instructed, he applied to him to know whether it was intended to try the cattle, to which l►e (Mr. 'Winder) replied, " Certainly ;" and on the same day the record was withdrawn. His Lordship having perused the petition, said that the gentlemen pre sent might rely that the subject should have his most serious attention, and that he should feel happy in having the op portunity of presenting any petition to the House of Lotds that it might be thought proper to forward to him, pro vided it was respectfully worled (and he was sure it would be so), and to support in any other manner the object of he petition (of which the following is a copy). The de putation then withdrew. " To the Lord High Chancellor of Great Brit tin, &c. &c. " The bumble petition of the Newspaper Dealers re sident in London and its vicinity. " Slieweth,—That your petitio ems labour under a most grievous and oppressive liability, both in person and pro perty, under the present law of libel, whereby they are subjected to actions for damages and costs in the event of their sel•ing any newspaper—the contents of which they can rarely have any previous knowledge of any mo:e than they can have the slightest control or influence over the proprie ors or conductors of the same—containing tr• ter that may be deemed libellous, notwithstanding the legisla ture has otherwise sufficiently provided for the protection of individuals and the public, in case of false or malicious slander or defamation, by compelling the printers or pub lishers of newspapers to give security, to enter their names and places of abode at the Stamp-office, and to imprint the same on each copy of each newspaper published, the ()mission of which renders the parties liable to heavy penalties. " That an instance of the oppressive and unjust ope ration of the law of libel in its present state may be adduced in the proceedings against an individual, who is at this moment in confinement for damages and costs incurred in an action Dicas v. Warne, tried in the Court of Common Pleas, on the 11th day of June last, when the Jury returned a verdict of 101. damages, to which I SM. costs were added. That the defendant being s po•ir man, and unable to pay the said damages and costs, after execution being levied upon his goods, was arrested and conveyed to prison, for no other offence than se:ling a newspaper in the ordinary course of his business, and without the possibility of his knowing that the sail newspaper contained any libellous matter, yet for this offence (.f it can be so termed) he has been incarcerated in a gaol since the 27th day of June last, while his fatnily have been reduced to severe distr.sa. " That since this petition has been in preparation another instance of a similar nature has occurred. Au action by the same plaintiff against a person of the name of Goldwin, residing in Chatles-street, Blackfriars-road, having ben tried at Croydon, and throi , gh some inad vertence, judgment suffered to pass fur the pla ntiff, without any defence having been made. " That your petitioners further beg leave respectfully to repre-ent to sour Lordship that they ate justly alarmed at the novel and unprecedented stretch of the law of libel, as illustrated in these c .fies, mare especially as no tices of action have been served on others of their body, at the suit or the same indisi.lu.l, who either was or is, as your petitioners believe, an At•orney-at-law ; and therefore your petitioners most humbly and earnestly itnp:ore your Lordship, knowing that your Lordship has already introduced many highly beneficial anti impoi taut improvements in other parts of the law, to be pleased to take some measures, with a view to an atnetioration 'of the law of libel, so far as it affects your petitioners, con vinced as they are that the Legislature never eunte.Fnplattd the hardship, cruelty , and probable ru i n , to which they are now exposed in their ordina r y and unavoidable avocations.
