SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The decision of the House of Commons on the matter at issue between the reporters of debates and an individual Member of Parliament being now ascertained, and the interest attending it having therefore subsided, it is not our business to recur to that portion of the question which affects ourselves, or those whom we felt bound by honour and good faith to support against a common calumniator. But there is a circumstance concerning the administra tion of the law of ?aliment, the independence of the press, and the liberty of the subject, which, as mixed up with the recent proceedings, ought not to be carelessly passed over, and to it we would respectfully solicit the attention of our brethren of the periodical press. When ever, in former instances, a Member of Parliament thought fit to engage the House as a party to his quarrel with any newspaper, the practice was, and we believe it has been almost invariable to this hour, that the printer and publisher should be the person called upon to repre sent the paper complained of, and to yield whatever infor mation might he asked, or to bear whatever... Punishment, whether light or harsh, might be awarded. In no case that we are aware of, was it ever permitted by the House that proprie'ors should he caned upon, as well as printers, and tlaat victims should be thus multiplied at the will and pleasure of any man whose spleen might urge him en to violence or cruelty towards others. The reason for calling a printer to the bar is so plain as hardly to require expla nation. He is a functionary always on the spot—he knows every paragraph that finds insertion in the journal, and may be had up at a minute's notice. The printer is the most intelligent servant employed about the mechanism of a newspaper. He is generally an ostensible tangible security tor the good behaviour of the concern—in a word, he is always forthcoming. The practice of both Houses of the Legislature, we repeat, has ever been to take the person whose name stood out, according to Act of Parlia ment, as representing the entire journal, and such personal security has always been deemed sufficient to satisfy the requisitions of justice as well as law. But although it may satisfy justice, it will not fulfil the purposes of male volence to abide by the most distinct and solemn Acts of Parliament. In the recent instance a second engine and victim of persecution was demanded. Proprietors, in addition to printers, were summoned, as if anything could be gained from them which the printer might not to the full as readily furnish, if not more so. This is a novel expedient, and one which appears rather ominous for the freedom of the Press. Why should Mr. O'Connell, the professed crusader of liberty in his out-of-door speeches,—why, we ask, should h e exact double measure of punishment for the objects of his vengeance beyond that with which better men, and of more eminent station, have hitherto been content? He would have had a woman to the bar, had he not been shamed out of it. The first step towards tyranny is everything. This attempt at it would never have been endured by an unreformed Parliament. In the days of Lord Liver pool, Lord Castereagh, or Mr. l'erceval, the rankest Tories that ever ruled this country, no such vindic tive aggravation of the law would have been aimed at. But by a " Liberty-bay," and in a reformed Parliament, the plot seemed easy and smooth. Who, then, were Mr. O'Connell's bottleliolders on the occasion ? Look in another column and reckon 50 of them, including tellers. Out of the 50, 37 were new Members,—men who, before the representative st stem was purged, had never been trusted with seats in the House of Commons, —arid whose first requital of the confidence placed in them by a reformed constituency has been a blow at the free dom of the press. Of and for England we are happy to state, that although her Members exceed the Scotch and Irish united in the proportion of 3 to I, yet of the 50 who were for dragging our printer and brother proprietor to the bar, only 36 individuals from every part of Eng land could be mustered. The gratitude of the press is, therefore due in a larger degree to Irish gentlemen tarred with O'Connell's stick, than either to Englishmen or Scotchmen, for this departure from all former precedents in favour of the subjugation of the press.—Times. The Irish Church Reform Bill has at length passed through its most dangerous route in the Lords (the third reading) by a majority of fifty-four. After some few Tory antics, the measure has been decently rescued from the claws of the caballing Conservatives, although the Commons will probably meet their Lordships on the sub ject of some of the Amendments," wed return them tor considerathm. We do not doubt the power of the hostile Peels to have cast out the Bill if it had answered their palpable purpose—that of wresting the Government from Lord Grey. But opposition was inconvenient when they discovered, a month since, that their industrious plots fur deposing Ministers would not succeed ; and they, therefore, wisely swallowed the black draught, lest by refusal they might be forced in a short time to take a double dose. The real Tory Aristocracy of property, and nebility of birth and fortune, would do well t refl,•ct during the rec,-ss, before the second session of the reformed Parliament, on the political ch 1- aster and transparent objects of the party lead ers, who whip them astray, and endanger the exi,tence of their estate. The rapid posting of Lind Lyndhurst from his Circuit duties has been abortive. DJes any sincere Tory opponent of Church Reform give that Noble and Learned Baron credit for a grain ot real interest in the cause of Ceristianity, or the Protestant Establishment of England, or belitve, that in affecting a zeal for that establishment, he is guided by any other motives thin those t f expediency? The Ex- Ceaneellor's anxiety for religion is derived from the same source to which we are indebted fur his enlightened and humane views on law reform. Lord Lyndhurst wou d do well in future to confine himself to his judicial duties ; and it would be beasr that the House of Lords should pllow Lady Lyndhurst to use his proxy during his absence art Circuit, than that the country should be deprived of the services of a Judge which are amp:y if not excessively paid for out of the public purse. The time is rapidly approaching when the judicial and political functions will nee dissevered, and this glaring instance of the inutility and si . z. dal of their union will probably have the effect of promm. ing their early separation. Who can doubt that House would lose little of its efficiency in dis the Upper wir the present and future services of such pensing iaegislitiors -s Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Wynford, and Joh,. taunt Eldon? :and none can gle,tton that the hereelea y inciple has an injurious tendency to perpetuate a breed ef Law Lords bj. no means required in the present times. We anticipate - that the " Jewish Civil Disabilities Bill" will this week :,:a:rm another stepping-stone for a display of patty feeling. The piety of the Duke of Cumber land, and the wise:em of the Duke of Glou cester, will probably be cons 'tined with the religious scruples of the three Law Lords, in opposing the rep-al of the last remains of bigotry and perseetution for conscience sake. The second reading of this li:ferat and too long delayed measure stands for to-morrow ; and we assume, perhaps erroneously, that the Bigots and Cabalists will mars take the field. We shall, however, to-morrow • , (.:e the question of equal civil rights on ts proper ft/LIMA, I"- and we are glad to see that Lord Be xle y move ' case Wt.:ond • reading of the Bill.

We cono . atulate the coun try on the issue of this contest on the Church Bill in the Upper House. Lord Grey's epeea'a on the second reading was the ablest argument delivered, and tee tact and mo deraiion ot his management of the Bill demand the: public acknowledgment and thanks. T he Tor y Lords will probably be called upon to act other " mysteries" and " moralities" next year, in relation to our Titliea, Church Rates, and the general refortnaiion of the En g lish hierarchy. That public question cannot he longer post poned or blinked, and the people will not allow the Bi shops to be the Jury, assessing their own damages.

Holmes receives from Oxford the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity, and from his grateful poli tical friends the first vacant See.—Morning Chronicle. We know not what the Commissioners of the Stamp office are about in suffering the publication of au un stamped newspaper (containing all the news which other journals give, though in a crude and misarranged form), and hearing the suspicious title of the " Metropolitan Police Gazette." The police force, which has been very active in seizing other unstamped newspapers, and cram ming prisons with venders, is, doubtless, conveniently blind to this illegal offence, on the Newcastle principle of " doing as it will with its own." But, perhaps, a nice distinction is drawn at the Stamp-office in favour of this r e presentative of the furze, on account of its defence of ‘• order and property" forgo . ° h.

The Court was engaged nearly the whole day in hearing lu natic petitions, none of which were of any public interest. EX PARTE SAUNDERS IN RE CERISTIE. This was a petition from a decision of the Court of Review, praying that the commission of bankruptcy which had been issued might be superseded, on the ground that it was obtained through fraud and misrepresentation. The arguments were only part heard when the Court rose. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, JULY 30. HARMER V. WESTMACOTT. The bill in this case, which we briefly noticed on Monday last, was filed by the assignees of a person of the name of Richard Downing Richards, who had formerly been the pro prietor of the Age newspaper, upon behalf of themselves and others, the creditors of the said Mr. Richards, praying that the sale of the property in that paper to Mr. Westmacott might be set aside, upon the ground that an inadequate consideration had been given by the defendant for a moiety of that paper, and that the other moiety had never been purchased by him. Up to June, 1527, Mr. Richards continued to be the sole pro prietor of the Age, but in consequence of some pecuniary diffi culties in which he was involved, the paper was not published on Sunday, th,.. 3d of June in that year, although its issue was continued on the Monday following, but the paper from that circumstance sustained a considerable loss, its sale being on that occasion reduced from twelve hundred to eight hundred. In consequence of the penalties and costs which Mr. Richards had incurred in various actions which had been brought against him, he was obliged to take up his abode in the King's Bench prison. Whilst there, being much pressed for money, he sold one moiety of the paper to the defendant for 400/.—which, it was now alleged, was a totally inadequate price, considering its real value. Up to the 9th of June Richards's name remained on the file of the Stamp office as the registered sole proprietor of the Age—but on that day the name of a Mr. Bowden was substituted for Richards's name, and in the month of August following the name of a Miss Durham was entered on the file instead of Bowden's name, the subsequent sale of the other moiety being purchased in her name by Mr. Westmacott. The questions for the con sideration of the Court, arising out of these sales, were these —whether the paper published for and in the name of Bowden was the same that was published by Richards ? Whether the purchase of the first moiety had been made for an adequate consideration, looking at its real value at the time 2—and, lastly, whether the other moiety had been subsequently sold to the defendant ? A subsequent purchase of the property from Bowden would, he had no doubt, be set up upon this occasion, but that could not affect the rights of Mr. Richards. The purchase money, it would be proved, had been paid in part to Mr. Richards, viz., for services, to the Stamp-office for arrears, and the remainder to the printer for expenses incurred by him. Bowden, who, it was alleged, had bought the paper from Richards, had been only a compositor on the paper, under its former management, and had only a salary of 2/ a week, and he continued in the employ of the defendant, and had really never purchased the paper. A second transaction was alleged to have taken place in 1819, between the defendant and Bowden, and it was stated that Bowden assigned the other moiety of the paper to the defendant for 146/. Of this money Bowden never re ceived a farthing. To show that 146/. could not be its real value, a subsequent offer of 3,0004 was made for the paper, but that negotiation never was concluded. From these facts Sir Edward Sugden, who opened the plaintiff's case, contended that the transactions between Bowden and the defendant were mere forms and perfectly invalid, and that their acts compro_ mised no right to which Mr. Richards had a claim as a pro prietor of that newspaper; he therefore hoped the Court would set aside the sale of one moiety, from the inadequacy of the con sideration given, and the other as never having been pur chased by the defendant. Mr. KNIGIIT and Mr. ELDERTON followed on the same side. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defendant, said that the proprietorship of the Age newspaper belonged to: Mr. Ri chards from 159.3 down to June, 152'.7 ; but the printing materials did not belong to him, but to Messrs. Salmon and Cunningham, as was proved upon the occasion of Mr. Hughes Ball seizing them for the penalties incurred by Richards for a libel. The property was alleged by the plaintiff's counsel to have been very profitable, but the truth of that was to be seen in the facts that the proprietor of the paper was in prison, and that the circulation of the paper had consideratly decreased. Up to June, 1827, the defendant knew nothing of Richards, with the exception that he (the defendant) had to bring an action against him for libel. The Learned Counsel then entered into all the details of the case relative to the purchase of the two moieties by the defendant ; and, from the acts and letters of Richards, contended that there could be no doubt but that every thing which had been done had been done with the concurrence and sanction of Richards. In consequence of the ability and exertions of the defendant he had raised this paper to be a very valuable concern, and this ac counted for the present claim by the plaintiff. With regard to the charge of nominal proprietorship, if Richards, who had sworn to his right in the property on entering his name on the file of the Stamp-office, had withdrawn his name and had induced Bowden to substitute his own, without being really a part owner of the property, in such case Richards had been guilty of subornation of perjury, and thereby would render himself incapable from taking any proceedings in this Court. From Richards's own showing he considered himself still a pro prietor, although he had withdrawn his name from the Stamp_ office. Under all these circumstances, he was confident that the Court would find itself compelled to dismiss this bill with costs. Mr. BEM's and Mr. BACON were today heard on the same side, and they showed from the evidence that the defendant gave an adequate price for the paper. Sir E. SCGDEN having replied, His HONOUR said that this came before him under circum stances which led him strongly to think that the Court had not all the circumstances which related to this case fully be fore it ; for, after what was stated in the pleadings relative to the agreement and the assignment, he could not but presume that such agreement or assignment existed. True it was that those documents were not proved in evidence, but the cause of that was that they were both objected to—the one upon the ground that it was not on stamped paper, and the other that the handwriting of a subscribing witness was attempted to be proved by secondary evidence, there being no evidence of the death of the subscribing witness. The subject of the dispute in question was the property in this newspaper. His notion of newspaper property was this. A person had a right to set up a paper for sale like any other commodity in trade for a legal consideration, and if that per. son from day to day publishes that paper, to which he con. tributes articles of his own or those of others, he esta. blishes a copyright in himself to that paper, and no one had a right to set up a similar paper to his in his name. His Honour here referred to the 38th of Geo. 111. cap. 78, which, from motives of public policy, requires that the real names of the proprietors of each Newspaper shall be registered in the Stamp-office, and his Honour observed that a further clause of that Act made it perjury, in case a party should wilfully and knowingly put his name on the file of the Stamp-office as a real proprietor, when, in point of fact, he was not. Those were not, his Honour said, mere fiscal regula tions, but were intended as a means of protecting the public, in case injury should accrue to any body, that then the party should know who the party was from whom to seek redress. Now in this case, prior to the period at which Mr. Westmacott pur. chased the property, there were only two persons interested in the property—viz., Mr. Richards and Mr. Bowden. In that case both their names should have appeared at the Stamp.office. That Mr. Richards was privy to Mr. Bowden's acts was clear beyond all doubt, for, on the 9th of June, 1827, Bowden's name is introduced at the Stamp office as the sole proprietor of the paper, and his name so continued until the 4th of August following, at which period Miss Durham's name was sub stituted. It therefore appeared to his Honour that both Richards and Bowden had conspired to do that which the law had most expressly forbidden, and it therefore ap peared to him that no Court could entertain the claims of those who asked for relief in a matter with respect to which they had themselves acted in so improper, illegal, and wicked a manner. Upon that ground alone, if there were no other, lie considered that this bill ought to be forthwith dismissed. Whether it should be dismissed with costs would depend upon the conduct of the defendant in the transaction. If it had been shown that the defendant had been guilty of any fraud in the purchase of this property, of which he was bound to say there was not a tittle of evidence; or if it was shown that, taking advantage of the distressed situation of the party at the tine he had obtained this property for an inadequate value, then the assignees might have come into this Court with some grounds to establish their case; but in this case they had no grounds to rest on. Considering the absence of any facts of that nature, and also the substantial evidence which had been given on the part of the defendant, to show that there was no inadequacy of value, he was pf opinion that the bill should be dismissed with costs. COURT OFVEXCUEQUER, JULY 30. (EQUITY SIDE.) HODGSON AND OTHERS v, HARRISON AND OTHERS. Lord LYNDHURST gave judgment in this case this morning. He said that the suit was instituted by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral of Carlisle, as Rectors of the Parish of St. Cuthbert, in Cumberland, against the defendants, for tithes of certain articles arising out of land in their occupation. The defendants set up a modus. After recapitulating the evidence of the case, his Lordship said that he had come to the conclu sion that the safest and best way would be to direct issues to try them, in order that a Jury might sift the witnesses by viva voce examination. His judgment, therefore, was, that ac count should be taken with respect to all the tithes that were the subject of this suit, except tithes of milk, calves, foals, honey, and wax, on which issues would be directed, with a declaration of the invalidity of the general modus. It was Admiral BLAKE and not HOWE that C. J. K. TYNTE, Eq., M.

OXFORD CIRCUIT —STAFFonD, JuLT 29. INFANTICIDE-THE KING V. DIARY SMITH. The prisoner was indicted for the murder of a certain female child, to the jurors unknown, by drowning it in the canal at Bloxwich, in this county. Mrs. Fowler examined by Mr. COOPER —Is a midwife. Knows the prisoner. She came to witness to make an ar rangement for her delivery. I delivered her on the 21st of June of a male infant. I attended her four days, till the Ist of July, when she went off. Saw her again at the inquest. The child had an opening in the upper gum. I did not be. lieve it to be the same at first, but examined it, and finding that mark, I knew it to be the same. Cross-examined—She got up on the second day after her delivery, and was then somewhat light-headed. I saw the baby four times alive. The infant when found had all its proper clothes on it. The mother said it should be called Mary Anne, and it was so called. She was as kind and tender to it as a mother could be. Luke Head, a farmer, on the 6th of July found a bundle in the water beyond Pratt's-bridge. Took it out with a fork, It was a dead female child. It had some clothes on. Foxall, police-officer, had her in custody, and asked her if the father had anything to do with the drowning of the child. I asked how she could come to do such a horrid deed. She said the devil must have put it into her head. She meant to have drowned herself and her child. She loosed the child in the water, and it sunk. She put her hand in for it to get it out again, but she could not feel it or draw it out again. I took her to the station-house. Mr. West, superintendent of police at Walsall—Harrison nd the prisoner were in ad joining cells. He overheard him say to her," Good God, Mary, see what you have brought me to." She said she was very sorry for it, as she was innocent. She could not tell what had induced her to do it—it came into her head all at once. Witness told his men not to ask her any questions, and cautioned her not to say any thing to im plicate herself. Afterwards he asked her if her child had a flannel petticoat on with a stone. She said no. She said she put her:child under one of the bridges. I said,," Good God, what were your feelings when you saw it struggling in the water ?" She said she was very wretched, and had a great mind to throw herself in. She tried to get it out, but could not. Henry Paget, a surgeon, examined the body. It was a fe male child, and had been drowned. It had a fissure in the upper gum. _ _ _ - - - The jury found a verdict of Guilty. The sentence was deferred until next assizes.

The Superb, which has arrived at Liverpool, from Jamaica, brings advices to the 17th ult. At that time the general outline of the plan first proposed by Mi nisters for effecting the emancipation of the negroes had reached the island. It will be recollected that this plan contemplated, as the sole means of indemnification to the planter, a loan of 15,000,0001. for 12 years, to be repaid by a fund to be created out of wages to be allowed to the slaves by their owners. To this proposition the colonists of Jamaica refuse to listen for a moment, asserting that this country has no authority to deprive them of their property by legislative enactments, without, in the first instance, providing an adequate compensation-fund to re pay them the value of that of which they shall be dispos• sensed, and they expresS their fixed det?.rntination to resist to the utmost of their power any attempt at the exercise of such arbitrary control as is assumed in the measure first propounded by Ministers.

OLD Q****.—The name and exploits of the late Duke of QUEENSBERRY (" Old Q.") will never be forgotten by the sporting world ; for whether we con sider his judgment, his ingenuity, his invention, or his success, he was one of the most distinguished characters on the English turf. His horse Dash, by Florizet, bred by Mr. VERNON, beat Sir Peter Teazle over the six mils course at Newmarket for one thousand guineas, having refused five hundred forfeit; also his late MAJESTY'S Don QUIXOTE, the same distance and for the same sum: and during the year (1789), he won two other thousand gui nea matches, the last against Lord BARRYMORE's High lander, eight stone seven pounds each, three times round the "round course," or very nearly 12 miles ! His car riage match, 19 miles in one hour, with the same horses, and those four of the highest bred ones of the day, was undoubtedly a great undertaking, nor do we b e li eve it ha s ever been exceeded. His singular b e t o f convey i ng a letter fifty files within an hour, was a t ra i t o f gen i us in its line. The Ili. S. being enclosed in a cricket ball, and handed from one to the other of 24 expert cricketers, was delivered safe within the time. The Duke's Stud was not so numerous as some of those of his contemporaries on the turf, but be prided himself on the excellence of it. His principal rider was the l'lnousDlcEGoonzsos,father of the present juckey,in whose judgment he had much reliance. But in the language of the turf his grace was "wide awake," a nd at times would rely on no one. Having on one occasion, reason to know—the jockey, indeed, had honestly in formed him of it—that a large turn of money was offered his man if be would lose—" Take it," said the Duke, "I will bear you harmless." When the horse came to the post, his Grace coolly observed, " This is a nice horse to ride; I think I'll ride him myself;" when, throwing open his great coat, he was found to be in racing attire, and mounting, won without a sttuggle.—Quarter/y Review.

EDITED BY LORD DOVER.—(Now first published from the Originals).—" Tbee bewitching vo lumes not only claim a place in every gentleman's library, but also claim a reading from every one who wishes to possess an intimate knowledge of the politics, literature, and fashion—the wits, statesmen, and kings, of the last century. The curious facts here disclosed, are rendered still more interesting by the spirit and eleg . ince with which they are toll. WatrocE's vivacity was invincible. A death or an earthquake he deals with as he would a ball or a playhouse rencontre ; but each and all, as described by him, are, to a reader of the present day, highly amusing to sa y the least ; but we must add, that there is here matter of graver importance—intelligence which throws a new light on historical transactions, memorable in thtmaelves and important in their consequences.

(Front the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The brisk and extensive demand for West India Muscovades was checked last week by the Ministers acceding to the proposed measure of allowing Foreign and other Sugars to be refined in this country under the King's lock, and the whole produce exported; the wholesale Grocers expected that the Refiners would only purchase Foreign Sugar, and that the usual demand by the buyers for the country trade would meet with no competition ; under these circumstances they ref:ained from purchasing, and very few sales were reported towards the close of last week; the prices were, however, fully supported. The estimated sales to-day are 1,200 hhds. and trs. The stock of West India Sugar is now 36,706 hhds. and trs., being 4,925 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 120,607 bags, being 69,401 more than last year. The delivery of West India is 3,054 hhds. and trs., being 640 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 5,651 bags, being 50 less than the corresponding week of 1832. This day by public sale 136 hhds. Barbadoes Sugar, low yellow 555. up to 595. for fine, all sold, about 6d. higher. In the Refined Market last week higher prices were asked, and rather extensive transactions took place in fine crashed entitled to the bounty on double refined at 325. and 325. 6d. The Refined Market this afternoon is rather dull, prices remain the same. MAURITIUS SUGAR.-The business in Mauritius last week was confined to about 3,000 bags taken by private contract at very full market prices. This day, by public sale, 4,568 bags Mau ritius Sugar, low 51s. 6d., yellow 545. a 595., all sold from Is. a Is. 6d. higher. EAST INDIA SUGAR.-East India Sugars are held for higher prices, on account of their being allowed for refining under bond for export; about 3,000 bags Manilla sold at an advance of Is. a ls. 6d. per cwt. This day, by public sale, 10,642 bags Manilla Sugar sold at an advance of is. a ls. 6d. per cwt., low grey 255., mid. grey and yellow 265., good grey and yellow 275., and fins strong white 28s. per cwt. Bengals are In greater request, and for Siams higher prices are asked. FOREIGN SUGAR -The effects of the measure of allowing Foreign Sugar to be refined here for export appears to have been anticipated ; there is, however, a further advance of Is. per cwt ; mid, white Havannah was sold at 315., yellow at 265.; white Bahia and Pernams 255. 6d. a 28s. This day by public sale 252 chests 28 barrels Bahia, principally strong grey, were readily taken at ls. advance on previous prices, selling from 255. a 295, per cwt. ; 76 chests and 115 brls. soft Pernams brought about 6d. a Is. advance, low yellow 235. 6d., good yellow 255. a 265. 6d., and white 275. a 28s. per cwt. Average price of Sugar 11. Bs. 91d. per cwt. MOLASSES.-This day by public sale 46 puns Trinidad Mo lasses 265. 6d. a 275., about 6d, higher. COFFEE.-The Coffee Market last week had rather a heavy appearance, and the prices were a shade lower; St. Domingo good ord. quality was taken in at public sale at 635. ; good ord. Brazil sold at 60s. In East India there were considerable sales, Sumatra 575. a 575. 68., ord. green Batavia mixed with black 595. and 595. 6d. In British Plantation there was also a de cline, good ord. Jamaica selling at 91s. 6d. and 925., fine ord. 935. a 955.-This day 4,458 bags Brazil Coffee, good to fine ord. coloury, were offered at public sale ; the first 200 bags having been sold with much competition from 665. a 675. per cwt., the remainder were withdrawn, notice being given that they were for sale at those prices by private contract, at which a great part has been already sold. Foreign Coffee is in great request. Higher prices are offered for Ceylon and other East India, but are refused by holders. CocoA.-British Plantation Cocoa continues in steady re. quest for the home consumption of the country, good and fine Trinidad has been sold 68s. a 745.; ordinary at 665. and 675. which are the highest prices yet realized; fair Grenada sold at 655. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Jamaica Rums are held with much firmness for higher prices, some parcels, 30 over, have been sold at 2s. lid, a Os., and large contracts for Lee wards are reported at 2s. a 2s. Id. In Brandy there is no alte. ration. Geneva remains nominal, TALLOW.—The Tallow Market continues steady ; it, how ever, is generally affected by the result of the fisheries, and the present reports are unfavourable. _ OlLs.—Common Oils are firm at the late advance; several arrivals from Newfoundland during the last week have pre vented further improvement for the present. Two out of the five ships that went to Greenland have arrived at Peterhead with les and 90 tuna Oil; the other three proceeded to Davies' Straits ; others have not had any influence on the market. At public sale last week South Sea sold at 261., but went off heavily. In Seed Oils a fair business doing. TURPENTINE.-The last arrival of rough sold a shade below 12s. Spirits are of heavy sale. CorroN.—The sales of Cotton here last week were nearly 16,000 bags, the prices gradually advanced from i d. a Id. per lb., and the market getting brisker at every stage of the im. provement ; the transactions would have been still more exten. sive, but there are no supplies here except Surats, which are now fast disappearing. TEA.—The market is rather dull, but there is no alteration in prices. COCHINEAL — Parcels of silvers have been sold as high as 85. 6d., and fine blacks at 9s. 7d. Hops.--The accounts from the Hop plantations are most favourable; the plant is very luxuriant, and coming into burr freely. The duty is now estimated at 190,000/. to 200,000/., which is 26,0001. more than the last estimate. Sussex pockets 755. a 905.; Kent, 80s. a 100 s. _ _ _ IRISH PRO\ IS lONS.-There were not any arrivals of Foreign Butter in the last week, but of Irish there were 9,228 firkins, and 2,148 bales of Bacon; there were, however, arrivals yes. terday of about 3,500 casks of Foreign Butter, and a similar supply looked for in the course of the week. Fine Friesland Butter is offering at 80s. per cwt. at the quay. The prices for Irish Butter continue much the same as last quoted, say 735. for Cork and Limerick of fair assortments, and 70s. a 745. for Waterford as to quality and repute of the brands; very little doing in sales on board. For Bacon there is a pretty fair sale, and singed we quote as to weight, freshness, and general condition as to quality, from 325. a 40s, per cwt. Bale Middles we quote 30s. a 325. ; Belfast Tierce Middles 325. a 365., Limerick 365. a 38s. ; Belfast Hams, 465. a 525., Limerick, 555. a 745. ; Belfast Bladder Lard 475. ; and Waterford and Lime rick, as to quality and packages, 50s. to 535. per cwt. The contract advertised by Government to be taken on the 19th of September next, for 10,000 Navy tierces of Beef and 9,000 Navy tierces of Pork, being for a larger quantity than was required sc , .l ist o ' , 43 nu, C Loa. r for the last . two years, causes the present holders t l . , o 10 4 ' i .,, , y - ..,E F ()Ti some improvement in price on their present stock; 7. , AT• • A FILE giving any quotations to-day. c E , -$ ~• , SALTPETRE.-Saltpetre is heavy and rather loWe r 'af. • • _. 6* refraction sold 38s. a 38s. 6d., a nd th e same 0 1.- , • SIIING and: taken in 375. 60. a 335. 6d. ; 18 refraction sold at 37a. 0. • k Vi c A R,IDSE is without alteration : Company' s R e fi ne d offered at N w s, , • . , n 1 ‘"E 1 SILK,-The Market is scarce of good raws.
