SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.: It would appear by the Paris Papers of Sun day that the partisans of Don Carlos have not vet renounced all their power of committing petty mischief on the frontiers, and that at Vit toria they still intercepted the regular communi cations between Bayonne and Madrid. They have, however, allowed private or diplomatic couriers to "pass, and by their despatches we learn that all was quiet in the Spanish capital on the 14th inst. ; indeed, the privilege of intercept. ing correspondence, or of plundering stage coaches—a privilege often exercised in Spain without a diploma from any Prince of the blood, or any pretender to the throne —seems to be the chief power which the rebels have ever yet ac quired or possessed. The Biscayan insurgents seem to avoid as much as possible every chance of encountering the Queen's troops ; and when they do meet, are generally defeated. In Na varre, according to positive statements, the apos tolical leader, called Santos Ladron, has been captured, along with some 40 of his band. These accounts do not mention his fate ; but if he had been ordered immediately to be shot, his friends might have consoled themselves with the reflection that he himself, when in the ser vice of the triumphant party, was 'never sparing of the blood of his prisoners. The Captain- General of Guipuscoa, General Castagnos, who is collecting from the interior and recruiting among the exiled Constitutionalists a sufficient force to make head against the rebels of all the Basque provinces, has appointed a military commission at St. Sebastian to try such of the , insurgents of Bilboa and Vittoria as shall be take'n with arms in their hands. The insurrection in these quarters is evidently on the decline, from the want of exter nal support, from the feebleness of its original re sources, or the timidity of its monkish leaders. The terrors of a military tribunal, and the collection of an imposing force (it is to be hoped), will soon extinguish its ardour or disperse its ranks, —sending its chiefs to exchange places in Bayonne and along the French frontier with the Constitutionalists who have been invited home to support the new Government. It must have been an overwhelming mortifica tion to the militant ecclesiastics, who appear to have been the ringleaders in these disturbances, to find themselves so entirely deserted by their friends in other parts of Spain. Between Ma drid and the Ebro there is said not to have been a single symptom of insurrectionary vio lence, and in no part of the country has a single company of the regular troops joined the rebel standard. All the Captains-General of provinces, and all the divisions of the army, have sent in their zealous adhesion to the ' young Queen's Government and title. There seems to be only one sentiment of loyalty felt, and one language of attachment held, from Barcelona to Corunna, from Saragossa to Se ville. The Madrid Gazette contains renewed professions of fidelity from the military com manders in Galicia, Estremadura, Andalusia, Cordova, Granada, Valencia, Catalonia, and Arragon, and other provinces. Among the number of ecclesiastical adhesions already an nounced is that of the Archbishop of Valencia. The Primate of all Spain, the Archbishop of Toledo, who declined (it will be remembered) attendance on the ceremony of acknowledging the Queen's title in June last, is not likely to be very forward now in the expression of his alle giance, but at any rate the power of public opinion, or the force of circumstances, is shown in keeping him quiet. He dares not stir up his clergy, cr risk his mitre, in the cause of his patron and idol, Don Carlos. A deputation from the Order of Grandees has conveyed to the Queen Regent the zealous allegiance of the chief nobility. Such is the state of Spain, as painted by the Madrid Gazette and the jcur nals of all colours in the south of France. It seems in its general features to be satisfactory and tran quillizing ; but it is quite evident that we have not yet approached a final settlement of the Spanish dynasty, and that the new Government must look for some of its most energetic support from the party whom it has hitherto repulsed. On the frontier of France the Queen's military chiefs have already called in (probably without any authority from Madrid) some of the banished Constitutional leaders to oppose the Carlists of Biscay. Will these brave men be again pro scribed, after having contributed to put down a rebellion against their Sovereign, and acquired new claims to the'gratitude of their country ? or will they be only pardoned for their military virtues, and persecuted for their political opi nions ? If Mina, Admiral Valdez, Arguelles, Bauza, and other leaders, whose swords or counsels ought to be put in requisition in the present crisis, were to appear on the frontier, like El Pastor (who has been recalled from banishment to fight for his persecutors), would they be warned off as enemies or welcomed as friends ? If the latter, what confidence could they repose in a Minister like Zea Bermudez, who has been always their most bitter enemy-- in a minister who pursued them with in cessant rancour and malignity in this coun try, when it was the land of their exile and the seat of his ambassadorial power ? It is perfectly plain, therefore, that in regard to persons and opinions called liberal, some concessions must immediately be made, and that some suitable modification in the Ca binet must take place, however strongly pru dence, policy, or consistency may dictate to the Queen Regent a postponement of constitutional changes. The whole rage of the Carlists, wherever they have risen against the Govern. ment, has been directed to the plusder and mas sacre of the Constitutionalists. Are the latter to be at once persecuted by the Queen's Go vernment, which they support, and assassinated by the Queen's enemies, whom they oppose ? With respect to her external policy, some change will be found no less indispensable to the Queen's success. She must not let her Minis ters or her agents secretly assist the pretensions of Don Niguel, which, so long as his contest lasts, must be identified with the rebellion of Don Carlos. She must immediately, therefore, withdraw her envoy from the camp of the Usurper, and accredit an Ambassador to the Court of the legitimate Queen. Zea Ber mudez, if he continues Minister, must not allow himself to be considered the emissary of Russia, but must cordially unite with the more power ful frier.ds of the monarchy, who have been the most p r ompt in recognizing, and Sovereign'seawho will be title. bethe most steady in supporting, hi s —Times. The ' Standard, alluding to our articl e o f yes . terday on private libels , observes —. There i s not one word of explanation why, during three years of office, the Whigs have never whispered an intention of ameliorating the odious, tyran nical, and unjust Libel Laws—why all their de clarations upon this head are consigned to the limbo of their other unredeemed pledges—no allusion is made to the imputations upon Lord Durham respecting the ensign with his family e'cutcheon, said to have been hoisted above the British flag at Cherbourg—nor to the display in the Tyne of the execrable blood-stained tri colour ; though if his Lordship is prosecuting a system of calumny, and not an insulated offence —if offence it be—the exposure of these im portant members of the system, would seem as indefensible as the exposure of any other part." Our contemporary here furnishes the best answer to those who exclaim, cannot his Lordship make use of one part of the press to refute the calum nies of another ? Why, all these calumnies have been over and over again repeated in one portion of the press ; but Conservative readers continue to repeat the calumnies, as if not refuted, because Conservative writers repeat them. Our contem porary, for instance, is ignorant of these calum nieshavingbeen repeated. We were not inquiring into the life of Lord Durham, and we were not bound to advert to all the particulars of this system of calumny. We were merely examining how far a Nobleman like Lord Durham was justified in appealing to a tribunal for protection against a system of calumny. Again, with regard to the law of libel—we have our opinions on it as well as our contemporary. But because the Whigs in the first Session of a Reformed Parliament, have not, among other changes, altered the law of libel, it does not follow that the law of libel will not be altered. We have no doubt it will be altered ere long. It cannot remain in its present state. It is absurd to speak of the three years the Whigs have been in office as a period during which the libel law might have been altered. During the Reform struggle, they would have been deemed very silly had they diverted their attention from that great question. Their apology for not having in the last Session improved the law of libel, is the multitude of pressing objects they had on their hands last Session. Among several valuable articles in the forthcoming number of the Edinburgh Review, we observe a very able review of the Evidence taken by a Com mittee of the House of Commons last ses sion, on the present state of Manufactures, Trade, and Shipping. Such a review becomes particularly necessary, from the evidence having been published without a report—owing to cir cumstances which deserve some mention. The Chairman of the Committee, it seems, drew up a series of comprehensive resolutions, in exact conformity with the evidence, but they were re jected by the Committee ; not because they were not satisfied with the truth of the state ments, but because they were afraid they might be unpalatable to their constituents. Some people would not admit that the country was in a prosperous state, even if the description of Lubberly Land were realised, where geese and turkeys ready roasted, with knives and forks be sides them, constantly invite the passer-by to a gratuitous meal. It appears, from the evidence of the most intelligent witnesses, that the indus try of the country never was in a more sa tisfactory state than at the present moment. This description applies to all the great branches of our industry, and to the internal trade of the country. If the shipping trade be in a less satisfactory state than the others, the cause is not the increased employment of foreign shipping, but a fall in the price of the articles employed in ship-building. A ship, in consequence of the fall in price of all the articles used in its construction, can be built now for much less than it could be built for several years ago; so that a shipowner, whose stock in trade might then be worth 100,0001., is not now worth 50,0001. But this cause, though it may have operated injuriously to individual ship owners, is a benefit to the country; and it ap pears that the number of ships built is continually increasing every year. The ships built and regis tered in England and Scotland were, for the year ending sth Jan., 1832, for England, 555 vessels, 67,973 tonnage; for Scotland, 148 vessels, 13,454 tonnage ; for the year ending sth January, 1833, for England, 550 vessels, 71,036 tonnage ; for Scotland, 156 vessels, 17,055 tonnage. The cotton manufacture is rapidly advancing, and, what is more satisfactory, the workmen are well paid. " Mr. Bates (says the Reviewer), managing partner of the houae of Ba ring Brothers and Co., perhaps the most extensive and certainly one of the best-informed merchants in the country, made a tour through some of the principal manufacturing districts in Spring last, at the time that the complaints of distress were at their acme. Mr. Bates had not been in those parts of the country tbr some two or three years previously ; and being asked by the Com mittee whether he was much struck with the in- I crease of manufactures, &c., in the interval, he answered, Everything in that part of the country seems to be increasing, resembling very much a new country ; in Liverpool there are whole streets building, and everything has the appearance of a new town about it ; and I see a great difference in going along through Man chester and that part of the country ; and in Yorkshire there seemed to me to be occasionally entire villages, just out of the hands of the mason, consisting of beautiful little cottages. * * * * To my view there never was so secure and healthy a stale of things, whether you look to the present state of things here, or to the probable state of things for several years to come, supposing that everything remains tranquil here, and that there is nothing to shake public confidence.' of Ed. p. 49.) Mr. Kirkman Finlay, whose intimate acquaint ance with the cotton trade, as well as with most departments of' business, is too well known to require any notice of ours, informed the Com mittee, that though profits were very moderate,' the present character of the cotton trade was one ofgreat extension, and ofa rapid sale and acti vity' (p. 36). With respect to the condition of the work people employed in cotton factories, Mr. Fin lay gave the following conclusive evidenc e : The wages in the establishments with which Jam connected, and I believe generally throughout the country, are quite the same now as they were many years ago ; the employment at such establishments is regular and constant ; it never varies; the prices do not vary ; every body is paid according to the work done to the individual himself; or according to the work done in the particular room in which he may work, according to the nature of the employment ; and therefore the wages in such establishments being quite the same as they were many yews ago, when the prices of provisions were a great deal higher than they now are, it follows as a natural consequence that the labourers must be much better off now, in such employment, than they were at any period I can name for many years back' (p. 37). The evidence of other witnesses is to the same effect."

The woolen v is e fa w ct o o o r l _y b s r t o a k tee.r, says, l r " I consider that the woollen manufacturers of this country were never better employed than at the present moment ; there is more mannfi2c lured at present than there has been in any year within the memory of the oldest man living. The manufacture has so much Increased, that no man, a few years back, would have supposed that Yorkshire would have been in the state in which it is at present ; I am just returned from Yorkshire, and I never knew the trade in it so prosperous as at present, and particularly the stuff business." (Minutes of Evidence, p. 68.) " Being asked whether, in his recent journey to Yorkshire, he had remarked any ap pearance of mills being built ? lie replied, Immense, enough to astonish anybody.' It is gratifying, also, to observe that the state of the manufacture in the west of England has been materially improved within these few years, and that it is now recovering some branches which it was supposed were wholly transferred to the north." The iron manufacture had, in consequence of the excitement of 1825, increased its produc e from 470,000 tons, in 1823, to above 700,000 tons. The manufacture in consequence suffered a depression, but it is rapidly recovering from it. The silk trade, about which so much noise was made some years ago, has increased upwards of 50 per cent. since the adoption of the liberal measures so much decried. The declared value of all sorts of manufactured silk goods exported in 1820 was 371,775/. In 1831 it was 578,7841. " It is plain, therefore (observes the Reviewer), that the manufacture is not increasing merely because of an increased demand in the home market, but that we are rapidly gaining on our rivals in the markets of foreign countries. This affords unquestionable evidence of the improve ment as well as the extension of the manufac ture." It appears that the manuL;tl‘..• has now left all its former seats for Manchester. Even Macclesfield is sharing the fate of Spitalfields and Norwich. A number of most unexception able witnesses bear evidence to the improvement of the retail trade throughout the country. Mr. James, of the firm of Moore, James, and Co., stated, " I should say that the retail dealers of this country are in a situation to pay closer than I ever knew them ; they have been gradually improving their method of managing their busi ness, and are now enabled to pay for their goods in about half the time that they used to pay some twenty years ago, when I was first a part ner in the house in which lam now." Mr. Cook, an extensive and intelligent broker, of Mincing-lane, observed, " I never recollect a period when there was so little mercantile and trading pressure as at the present time, and for the last six or seven months. Since the Ist of May I have given credit to the extent of 250,0001. for sugar placed in my hands, sold and delivered to different consumers in the country. The amounts to each party have varied from as low as 401. to as high as 10,0001., depending upon the credit of the individual ; and it is a singular fact, that not a bad debt of any amount has been incurred ; the warrants have also been regularly taken away at the prompt. From my knowledge of the sugar trade, I believe the grocers are a thriving body of traders." Mr. Lewis Loyd, the well-known banker, " speaks strongly of the improved habits and the greater economy and industry of the manufac turing and commercial classes," and that bills " are now paid more regularly than he ever knew them." The reviewer has little difficulty in showing that the present state of things is satisfactory, at least that " the condition of the industrious classes in general, and particularly of the great mass of the labouring population, is now decidedly better than it has been for a lengthened series of years." But he looks with apprehension as to the future from the low rate of profit. By way of arresting the efflux of capital which such a state of things has a ten tency to cause, he strongly urges the adoption of means for making industry more productive. " It is not possible," he observes, "to say beforehand how much a reasonable modification of the Corn Laws, the equalization of the timber duties, and the abolition of the oppressive discri minatory duties on foreign colonial produce, might raise the rate of profit; but that they will do so to a considerable extent does not admit of any doubt whatever. Such measures are, besides, highly expedient on other grounds. The Corn Laws, in their present state, inflict the most serious injury on the commerce and manufactures of the country, without conferring any real benefit on the agriculturists. They render the importation of corn uncertain, and a matter indeed of ha zardous and extraordinary speculation ; instead of that secure and regular trade which it would be, under a system of moderate fixed duties on importation, with a correspondin g drawback on exportation. At present the principal equivalent that most foreign nations have to exchange for our manufacturerd goods is at one time capri ciously excluded from our markets, while at another time it is forced upon them in excessive quantities." We are glad to see so many indi cations of a disposition to grapple fairly with this unsound part of our system, the Corn Laws. Our agriculture must always be in a precarious state till this matter is settled, mice fur all, on sound principles. It is well observed by Mr. Oliver, that the Corn Laws are altogether th e landlords' busin ess , an d t h at a ll that the farme r requires is certainty. That certainty, however, he can never have till die trade be placed on a proper footing. Some little derangement would be felt at first, but perhaps it is better manfully to meet the evil at once than to sacri fice the farmers, as we have been doing for a long time, merely with a view to keep up, what cannot be kept up—war rents. The landlords who are insolvent, must share the fate of other insolvents. With respect to landowners not insolvent, they must benefit by whatever im. proves the industry of the country. " Their interests— i. e. the interests of the agriculturists (says the Reviewer)—are not in opposition to, but in perfect harmony with, those of the rest of the community. What, may we ask, is the real and effectual encouragement of agriculture ? The obvious answer is the number and wealth diminishsla e ad t adding h t ae o n doprrtoods the same et ix t l h et e e n s , e itg: of the m anu fa cturing and commercial classes. perity of ri y r( ou at the u ld ltu t r o ist o s r .

We believe that a vigorous effort is about to be made in the com mercial and manufacturing districts, to obtain a change in the corn laws.— =Morning Chronicle. The whi g journals labour hard to justify Lord Durham in having recourse, for the de fence of his character, to th e law 9f libel. Their efforts have not placed his case in a better posi tionutt than his own letter to hi s so li citor had placed it, which letter has been °st ostentatiously ti published t o prejudge a cause plainant declares his determination of bringing into a Court of Justice. It is the first time we have known the instructions to a solicitor to institute proceedings for libel to be sent to the newspapers, m ore espec i a ll y when thoseinstruc tions betray, on the part of the writer, an in firmity of temper which induces him to apply such epithets as " base" and " cowardly" to the acts of the party against whom he claims the calm and dignified protection of the law. Per haps it was thought that such a letter, under the signature of the Noble complainant himself, might assist in forestalling a verdict. If so, the writer of the letter, if it has been published either by his desire or permission, subjects him self to a more severe imputation than what arises from his being the author of an intemperate and undignified production. He who repels attacks on his character in a newspaper, by publishing in other newspapers language as abusive as any libeller can have applied to himself, ought to rest contented with taking such revenge. It is rather too much of him, after that, to ask the law for either its penal or pecuniary compensa tion. It is the lot of every man who takes a busy or a prominent station in public life to become, at times, the object of misrepresenta tion in both his public and private actions. It is not always very easy to draw the line between the two, and to say where the public existence of a man terminates and his private life begins—for instance, one of the calumnies imputed to the assailants of Lord Durham's private character is that he entered the river Tyne in his pleasure yacht with the French tri-colour at the mast-head. In this action a manifestation of political principles is involved which hardly allows it to be an incident only affecting private character. The hoisting the tri-colour signifies nothing, or else it signifies that Lord Durham has certain political prin ciples of which the French tri-colour is sup posed to be the symbol. Thus, though taking his pleasure in a private capacity, the action imputed to him is one of a political com plexion. As to the alleged fact itself, if it were true it would only go to prove that Lord Durham is as fond of a little melodramatic display as his Royal friend the " King of the Barri cades," who cordially hates liberty though he hoists its colours. Ata time when the French nation is in a close bond of peace and amity with us, there is certainly no treason in decorating the Louisa with the French ensign, though in by-gone days such an act might have seriously impeached the loyalty of a British subject. At the worst, Lord Durham cannot give more countenance to the French " tri-colour" than the ci-devant Tory, Lord Palmerston, and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers, who sent it, floating in conjunction with the " meteor flag of England," to the coast of Holland, in the month of fogs and storms, to strike terror into the mind of an ancient ally, and one of the best customers of English commerce, because he dared to resist the decrees of the " citizen King." We are told, however, that there is no truth in the statement. That " the assertion has been con tradicted by the Captain of the vessel, and that the bit of bunting so blunderingly described as the national flag of France, was neither more nor less than the signal No. 3 of the Yacht Club." Well, then, the whole affair, even on the showing of Lord Durham's sycophants, ori ginated in a blunder. If this be true, on what ground does his Lordship seek redress in a Court of Justice ? It surely cannot be to this " blunder," that he applies the epithets " base" and " cowardly." If it be an important mat ter, however, to have the thing cleared up, for the satisfaction of the public, surely the published explanation of the Whig Journal has answered the purpose. The public will, we are sure, acquit his Lordship of any intention of carrying terror and dismay along the banks of the Tyne by hoisting the tri-couloured flag. Nay, if he sailed up the Thames under that comet-like sign, which for merly scattered along its wild career " pestilence and war," we do not think he would set the venerable river on fire. Why, then, should the Tyne be frightened from its propriety at the sight of the riband of Cherbourg floating along its tide ? But it seems that the calumny of the Tory press is not confined to this solitary in stance. That press has gone so far as gravely and solemnly to state that the Noble Lord, in being vexed with some coalheavers, who, while his carriage was passing through some village in the north, " stopped the way," actually vocife rated in an excess of anger from the carriage window, " I will not suffer this interruption ; the village shall be removed." This was truly an awful declaration—but what followed ? The village remained where it was. But then we are told that his Lordship actually gave orders "to sweep the devoted village from the face oldie earth." Still the village remains in its original situation to refute the ridiculous malice that invented such a tale. The Noble Lord is not satisfied, it appears, with this proof of his innocence of the charge. What better he could have we do not know. No Court of Justice could have evidence so good, although the village itself should be brought into Court. The absurdity of this invention can only be surpassed by the weakness and folly of him who makes it a sub ject of serious complaint. We would advise Lord Durham to beware of the insidious advice of his Whig followers. He can reap no honour from a hostile collision with the Press in a Court of Justice. He may, indeed, gratify a vindictive feeling ; but, if he does not rely, for the defence of his character and the vindication of his honour, on something else than the law of libel, he had better give up the work of a Statesman, and confess that nature never intended him to gather that pure and exalted fame to which the protection of the law would be an insult, and the certificate of a Court of Justice a disgrace.-- Morning Herald. The Speech of the King of the Netherlands on the opening of the States General on Monday had not reached us when we went to press, although we have some reason to believe that one copy had arrived in London by means of a mercantile express. We learn from our corres pondents in Holland that, pr e p ara t or y to t h e meetingthe _ of R tates, the Baro n V ersto lk h ad r esumed the portfoli.) of Foreign Aff a i rs at the Hague. We understand also, from the same sources of intelligence, that the Speech of his Majesty was expected, by those who generally b have access to the best and earliest i n f ormation, to intimate the probability of a spee d y renewal of the discussions in the Confer ence o f London. Anything more silly than t h e ground upon whicher t ver dis d citsigrasslocnesd thevvere suspend e d h as ai n l y rie diplomacy of en lightened nations. Th e Ki ng of the Nether. lands was peremptorily req u i red to apply to the German Diet for its consent to a new arrange ment of territory, to t a k e e ff ect in the event of c all the other questions in dispute between Hol land a nd Belgium, and they are neither few nor unimportant, being settled by a general Treaty ; or, rin other words, this Sovereign was re quired, as the condition upon which alone the negotiation could proceed, to anticipate its amicable conclusion, and on the strength of this anticipation to call upon the German Diet for an °biter dictum—for an expression of its opi mon and will i n re f erence to a port i on of terri toryin which it possesses certain rights, which expression of opinion and will may turn out to be of some use or of none--for a declaration upon a subject of grave importance, to be laid up in the archives of Holland during an inde finite period of discussion, and to be produced and acted upon or not at some uncertain future, just as it may th en h appen to su i t the interest or convenience of parties in a negotiation with which the German Diet, as such, has no imme diate concern. With this absurd and despotic requisition the King of the Netherlands was un willing to comply. As a man of vigorous un derstanding, its wretched silliness must have been revolting to him. As a Prince of digni fied nature, and therefore respecting the proper dignity of others, he must naturally have been averse to a proceeding conveying so much dis respect to the authority to which his request is to be addressed. This difficulty, created, not by the King of the Netherlands, but against him, has, however, been employed as an argument that it is lie who seeks for concealed and sinister pur poses, to retard the progress of the negotiations —he who has been always ready to proceed with them, while his opponents—we fear we may call them his enemies, and the enemies of the excellent people whom he governs—have absurdly refused to go on until he shall have procured something for them which they cannot pretend to be necessary yet, and which, for what either lie or they can tell, may never be come necessary. The mighty difficulty, how ever, such as it is, will, we are happy to be lieve, be speedily surmounted. The King of the Netherlands has done enough to show that the absurdity of transposing, without any motive, the natural and regular order of proceeding in diplomatic affairs was not devised, and has not been patronised by him. He has done enough to show that he is no willing agent in presenting a disrespect ful application to the German Diet. And now, if our intelligence with respect to foreign affairs does not mislead us, the time has come at which the King of the Netherlands feels that he may magnanimously humour the petted politicians with whom he has to deal, by attempt ing to procure them their toy, and reduce to silence the rancorous politicians who have assailed his character with so much perseverence, by a practical refutation of their calum nies. We have already said that the speech of the King of the Netherlands is expected to intimate the probability of an early renewal of the discussions in the Conference of London. To this we beg to add the expression of our belief that the expose by Baron Verstolk of the foreign affairs of Holland, which will be laid before the States General at one of its earliest sittings, while it will abundantly show that the proceeding imposed upon the King of the Ne therlands, as a condition to the continuance of the negotiation, is most irregular, and most irra tional, will at the same time intimate that it is not the intention of his Majesty any longer to withhold ir.--illorning Post. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the" London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR. —The Sugar Market continued very firm all the last week; the purchases were estimated to exceed 2,500 hhds. and trs.; the prices were fully supported. The Sugar Market has continued uncommonly firm all the day ; the estimated sales are 500 hhds. and trs.; the prices are a shade higher. The fall i❑ the prices of Muscovades from the late highest rate of the Market is as nearly as possible os. per cwt. The pubhc sale of Barbadoes this day, 122 hhds., sold with briskness at full market rates, particu -1 Arly the good sorts; the prices were 575. 6d. a 635. 6d. The stock of West India Sugar is now 53,137 hhds. and trs., being 5,770 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 78,234 hags, being 22,287 more than last year. The delivery of West India is 2,404 hhds. and trs., being 919 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 3,834 bags, being 3,443 less than the corresponding week of 1832. In the Refined Market there has been a general decline in the prices, the holders evincing every disposition to give way to induce the buyers to come forward ; ord. large lumps were sold at 635., and more were offered at the same price, good small 675. and 685.; in fine Crashed considerable trans,ictions took place at 341., and some parcels reported under that price. MAURITIUS SUGAR.-The last parcels in importers' hands, about 3,000 bags, sold last week at full Market prices.
