SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The privileges of the Peers were granted to them by the Constitution, not for the sake of the Peers themselves, but that they might be the better enabled to discharge certain public and specified duties. When the Peers, or any portion of them, make the enjoyment of their privileges the most essential object of their po litical efforts, they forfeit, in fact, the condition on which those privileges were vested in them. The Tory party seem now to have decided that the whole realm shall be subdued to its will, and that those interests which are acknowledged by the nation and its representatives to be the most precious and important of all others, shall be sacrificed to the selfish views of a certain branch of the aristocracy. This will never do. It is all very well to put forth common-places on the Constitution, and to talk about the dif ference between the two Houses of Parliament, or, in other words, " a collision," as just no thing at all —something which the framers of the Constitution looked forward to as a matter of course, not having any results or - tendencies beyond the mere assertion by each branch of the Legislature of its own distinct and admitted power. Now, let us quietly ask these free and easy gentlemen whether the independent rights of each House of Parliament were given in contemplation of their co-operat ing on important subjects, or of their drawing in different and opposite lines ? If concurrence were not the rule, and variance the exception— and the rare exception, too—it is plain that the Government of the' commonwealth must soon be brought to a state of political paralysis. A difference between the two Houses on very se rious questions can no otherwise be considered than as involving constitutional dangers of the deepest import. Reform in Parliament is one of these ; church refortn is one of them, and perhaps the most perilous of all such questions on which the Lords and Commons could divide. Vain and foolish is it to ring in our ears that the Lords may do so and so, if they like. Of course they may—and of course they must take the consequences. The English nation will not be cheated out of what they deem the substance of their own prosperity, out of complaisance to the abstract, however acknowledged, rights f the upper House of Parliament. If rights be indis creetly and mischievously exercised, they are, in fact abused ; and if abused, the abuse will by an intelligent and high principled people be resisted. If one party must give way, then the Peers must give way, for the nation will not, and ought not, to do so where its vital interests are concerned. The House of Commons should be prepared for such emergencies —not, indeed, to follow the old precedent, and vote the House of Lords " a nuisance," but to put on record instanter that the House of Lords, by setting itself repeatedly and perseveringly in direct opposition to that re form which is demanded by the whole people of England, has rendered it impossible to carry on the government without an absolute extinction of that assembly which represents the people, and the establishment of a pure oligarchy in place of King, Lords, and Commons. We have reason to apprehend that the leaders of the so called " Conservative" faction meditate a direct war upon the nation. We do not mean a war of words, or sentiments, or legislative inea atires, but literally a war of the bayonet and the sabre. We have no doubt that there are some persons who would, almost immediately on their accession to the government, declare formally against any reformation of abuses,—pronounce that reform and republicanism were identified, that both must be put down come qui collie, and ancient con options clung tO,—and that it any show of resistance, even within the forms of the constitution, be presented by the body of tl'e people, that then, without an hour's delay, the glove should be thrown down, the troops ap pealed to, and the standard of despotism and misgovernment hoisted, in the name of our up right, constitutional, and beloved Monarch. We assert all this from a knowledge of facts as they oc cur. There is nothing figurative in the statement; all is literal, all is true. The subject has been well discussed in the Conservative council. The army is described to be " stanch to a roan." What might, what must be the fate of him who employs it to such sanguinary and traitorous ends has, we suspect, been but slightly adverted to. The militay and Court faction (the highest personage of all forming a noble excep tion)—the military faction and Court faction are besotted enough to imagine that if certain persons were once in power the battle might yet be restored and the day be won. They are the most ignorant, the most infatuated, the most unteachable of all human beings, who so judge the people of this country : within three months of such an attempt being made not a vestige of conservatism would be left throughout the king dom. In the mean time, every city, county, borough, and parish in the island, ought to be in readiness for whatever, even the worst that might happen. Petitions, remonstrances, decla rations of distrust in a" Conservative" Ministry, ought to be prepared in case of necessity ; the House of Commons ought to be on the alert, and, should events require them, be ready to pass resolutions and addresses to the Sovereign that specific persons whom we will not now name should be dismissed for ever from the service of the Crown, and banished from the Royal pre sence. Another Bill should be sent up to the Peels, the same hour in which the appointment of a Minister professing to govern by the sword was promulgated, for disbanding the Guards and the whole of the army now at home. A nation must not be nice about details when its existence or liberties are threatened. In our opinion, no crisis ever arose in Great Britain , more pregnant with grave alarm than that on the eve of which we at this moment stand. As for a _dissolution of th e existing Parliam en t, one man--and one only— among the Conservatives can be blind enough to plunge into such an , experiment,—it is he who made- the grand !Ander of denouncing, surd thereby producing, a reform of Parlia. moot. —Times. The Tory aristocracy is determined to c;rin mit political suicide. We have forewarned the country that the present intention of the Con servative P eers i s to throw out, by a considerable majority, the Bills for church reform. This malignant design has a two-fold object—to drive out of offic e the present Ministry, that die Tories may punish them for their amendment of the representation, and usurp the reins of power—and to defeat the ends of which Parlia mentary reform was the intended means. The Tory Press is actively urging on its blind p a r ty to this desperate course, forgetful of its recent admissions that the re-construction of the House of Commons had rendered it impossible for any Administration to govern the country, and had exiled for ever from office the Tory party. It is not many weeks since the Standard openly avowed its preference of r evo l u ti on t o th e con tinuance of Lord Grey's Cabinet ; and a coNli- tion between the Ultra-Tories and the Ultra- Radicals has been openly recommended by the Conservatives in their profound despair. Such an unnatural and absurd combination of extremes is not only ridiculous to imagine, but cannot by possibility happen. And what do the Tory Peers expect to gain by their desperate and destructive designs ? Do they hope to repeal the Reform Acts, and to re-possess themselves of their rotten boroughs ? Can they blind themselves to the fact, that the aristocratic principle is essentially destroyed in this country, and that all Europe is in a state of rapid transition from feudal to federal principles of Government ? Is it pos sible that the popular power should recede—can its advance be prevented ? Blind and infatuated must the Tory aristocracy be, not to perceive that a legal revolution has been effected, not by the Whigs, but by the people, and earlier than it would otherwise have come, from the mad and infatuated resistance of Tory Administra tions to the mere shadows of reform ! And what do the Lords really intend by their threatened opposition ? They object to three parts of the Irish Church Reform Bills; to the reduction of the number of Bishops ; to the relief of Catholics and Dissenters from tithes and church cess, by the appropriation of part of the revenues of the church in lieu of these odious imposts ; and to the application of any surplus revenue of the church to other objects of national utility. If the Irish Church Bill is thrown out on these grounds of objection, and Lord Grey's Cabinet retire, what would be the course of any Tory successors ? Would they dare to uphold the existing system ? Could they do it, however much they might desire to prop up the Irish church establishment? If, on the other hand, the Tory Lords fail to throw out the present Administration, then, as in the case of the Reform Bills, a more extensive measure of church reform would assuredly be successfully proposed in the next session of Parliament. By the smallness of the present measure, the Ministers have lost friends, and suffered in public opinion, and betrayed a vain hope of conciliating implacable political enemies. Four Bishops and an Arch bishop were surely a sufficient number of shep herds, and more than sufficient, in the opinion of a majority of Reformers in the House of Commons, for tending the Protestant flocks in Ireland ; and the Irish church establishment may be reduced next session, if the present Bill miscarries, to one Archbishop and four Bishops. If such a reduction failed in the next session, then the entire abolition of the Irish church would follow in the succeeding one ! Such would be the natural and infallible consequences of the folly and stupidity of the Tory faction : the Tories always succeed in annihilating abuses which they desire to maintain. The present Ministry, say the Tories, are unpopular with the country, because they have done too little in the vineyard of reform ; anti the Conservatives hope to succeed them and gain favour with the peo ple by doing nothing! The Budget of Lord Althorp was stated by Sir Robert Peel to secure too small a surplus, and to smack of excessive retrenchment. The Tories are in fits of horror at the distant sound of municipal reforms: the insane Bishops hang with the Tory Peers in defending non-residence—in maintaining pluralities—in perpetuating tithes, church cess, and an unne cessary band of ecclesiastical drones ; and yet the people (says the Conservative press) yearn for the return of the Tories to office ! And to what events and consequences would the advent of a Tory Administration lead us? The Standard would insinuate, that if the present House of Commons was " refractory," a "Con servative " House of Commons would replace it. Our contemporary cannot he serious, and is only decoying the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel to destruction, as a punishment for that never to be forgiven sin, their sudden con version to Catholic emancipation. - The Ultra- Tories owe their ci-devant fi iends much re venge on this old score, and will never be easy till they have given them another dose of that bitter antipathy they displayed on the memorable motion of Sir H. Parnell. A dissolution of Parliament indeed, grounded on an obstinate refusal by a majority of Peers of any , quantum of Church reform, and a collision with the House of Commons on such a vital question of state policy ! Can any man, topically acquainted only with the present state of the public mind, expect that his Grace the Duke of Wellington would obtain by dissolution a subservient House of Commons ? The Tories can now muster barely one hundred and twenty Mem bers in that branch of the Legislature. Some of the moderate . men of both parties might lose their seats if sent at this period be fore their constituents ; but admitting that 30 or 40 seats might be gained in addition to the present " Conservative" numbers, would the Duke of Wellington numerically govern his new House ? Would he not, by such a dissolution, call up more decided Reformers ?and would his quondam enemies, the political unions, sup port the destructive Administration against the public opinion of the reformed constituency ? Would the Whigs out of office leave him any rest in either House of Parliament ? The ruse is a miserable and shallow deception. If the Reform Acts have not realized so early as ex pected the sanguine expectations of the people, they have at least given the people ample power to destroy a Tory Administration. The return of such a Government—its co-existence with a reformed House of Commons—is impossible; and if the Duke of Wellington flatters himself that he can retake the citadel ofthe Horse Guards, he is as miserably deceived as he proved himself in May, when he risked the Throne of the King, and placed the nation on the verge of revolution. We suspect that Sir R. Peel knows more of the state of the public mind, and would risk neither his property nor his political station in such a mad project. His Grace is old enough to turn his thoughts, beneficially, from this to another world. And who are these wild and infuriated aristocrats who call themselves, par excellence, loyal, and the exclusive friends of the Monarchy? They are the real enemies of his Majesty; the genuine destructi ves ; t h e act i ve repu bli cans. tot content with the lamentable injury they perpetrated on William IV., in May last year, they would again betray him, and again lay pros trate his popularity. Can they not discern that they are scattering far and wide the seeds of an early harvest of democracy ? Do they want the substitute of an American King ? or are they anxious to pull down, prematurely, the hereditary Peerage ? Are the examples of Charles I. and Louis XVI. lost on the Court of St. James ? Have they not learned the European lesson of the present century—" To-day, a throne ; to morrow is a prison !" The King has, however, shown no ordinary courage in perplexing and trying times; and on the good - sense and politi cal sagacity of his Majesty the country relies ; ha has too much at stake himself to be deceived by faction, by courtiers, or political maniacs.— Morning Chronicle. The Bill of the Solicitor-General to alter the law of debtor and creditor, and abolish arrest for debt, is one of the most important measures of the present session, but it has been brought in at so late a period of the session that, threatened as it is with the opposition of Sir Robert Peel, who never yet was capable of conceiving any sound measure of legal reform, it is scarcely to be ex pected that it can pass before Parliament rises. We know not why this Bill has been so long delayed. The report of the Law Commissioners on which it was founded, was laid before Parlia ment last year, and a Bill was promised to be brought in as speedily as possible, in conformity with the recommendation contained in the report. The principle and general outline of the Bill having been agreed upon a year ago, it was easy for the law officers of the Crown to have per formed the mechanical work of arranging th e details, and drawing the Bill up in form, so as to have it ready to lay before the House of Com mons at the commencement of the present ses sion. If so, it would, in all probability, by this time have been the law of the land, and the cruel, impolitic, and pernicious system, which it is intended to supersede, would not have a n . other year to run, as there is now great reason to apprehend. We shall be glad, however, to find that we have over-estimated the difficulties that stand in the way of the Bill. The law of debtor and creditor we have so often and amply discussed, that we can add nothing new upon the subject. It is several years since we first called the attention of Parliament and the public to the defective state of that important branch of our civil jurisprudence —we more especially de • precated the practice of arrest for debt, and contended for its abolition on the several grounds of policy, equal justice, and humanity. We showed that the law which pledged the body of the debtor as a security for his debt, engenders a species of false credit, which affords that large class of persons who are not unwilling to live beyond their means a temporary accommodation at the price of permanent ruin—here is its im policy. We showed that it confounds poverty with guilt, and misfortune with crime --treating a breach of contract like an act of felony, by the deprivation of personal freedom, which crime alone should forfeit;—here is its injustice. We showed that it furnishes the creditor, if he be a hard-hearted one, with the means of gratifying a vindictive feeling by the total ruin of his debtor, who, by being immured in a prison is too often deprived of the last chance of retrieving his affairs;—here is its inhumanity. And besides all this it violates the first principle of justice by constituting a 'plaintiff a judge in his own case in the first instance ; for upon his er parte statement, affirmed by oath, the body of the defendant may be arrested and thrown into gaol, although it should subsequently appear, upon trial, that no debt was due from the latter to the former, or that the plaintiff was indebted to the defendant in a larger sum than the latter owed the former. Having stated all those arguments formerly, and followed them out in all their bearings, it is the less necessary to dwell upon them now that the I public in general, and the Executive Govern tnent, appear to be convinced of their validity. The report of the Law Commissioners was ably drawn up, and developed a luminous view of the question ; but all the material arguments of that report, as far as the principle was concerned, we had anticipated, and repeatedly urged at a time when circumstances were most adverse, and when nothing but a consciousness of the goodness of the cause itself afforded us the most remote prospect of successfully contending against the prejudice and power arrayed on the other side. We do not wonder that Sir Robert Peel, who, by his iniquitous Currency Bill—that great le gislative fraud—added one-third, j, not one-half to the debt of every debtor whether due on mortgage, bond, or simple contract, by making him pay in an enhanced gold currency what was contracted in a depreciated paper currency ; we do not wonder, we say, that Sir. Robert Peel, who by that act of legalized wrong and robbery, added about the value of three hundred millions to the National Debt, should exhibit a great deal of maidenly timidity and coyness when it is propoied so to reform the law of debtor and creditor, as to re lieve the former from oppression, and give the latter such a mode of redress as sound justice dictates, and as is worthy of a civilized country. Sir Robert Peel is not a solitary instance of a politician capable of rashly deranging the affairs of a country on the side of his own interest, and affecting an exceeding delicacy and caution touching any measure of innovation which has for its object nothing but the prevention of in justice and the promotion of the public good. As to the particular merits of the Bill of the Solicitor-General, we must defer our opinion until we see the Bill itself. We always advo cated the principle of making the property at tachable instead of the person. If there be no property, the taking the person can serve no other purpose than to gratify revenge ; and in all cases where there is property the arrest puts into the pockets of sheriffs' officers, keepers of sponging -houses, gaolers, and (slier harpies of the law, a considerable portion of the money that ought to go to the creditor. There is one provision of the Bill which, we would suggest to the Solicitor-General, if not carefullyguarded, might be a means of producing the very oppres sion which the Bill is intended to prevent.• We allude to the arrest of the person on affidavit made that the party is in meditatione fugcc. Such a power of arrest ought not to be allowed unless the plaintiff gave security to prove that the defendant actually meditated flight. The affidavit to hold to bail, under the existing law, is often abused to purposes of malice and revenge. The affidavit to arrest under the pro posed law, might open a door for the most op pressive violations of the principle of the Bill, by enabling debtors to be arrested on the oaths of suspicious and fanciful or vindictive creditors where nothing was farther from their mind than meditating flight. This could only be known by some ove r t a ct, and if so known it would b e capable of proof, and the person making the affidavit should be bound to prove it. As to the cessio bonorum—the making copyhold pro perty liable as well as freehold, and granting, execution on bonds, bills, &c., when due, with out the expense asid delay of a law suit, unless the defendant put in security for costs—likewise the compulsory disclosure of property, and the distinction t a k en between fraudul ent and holiest debtors, th e y seem to be all v er y p roper provi skins; but, as we said before, we must reserve our opinion upon the particular merits of the Bill until we know more of its details.— Morning Herald.

Tt e meeting broke up, and the subject is left for the deci sion of the Insolvent Court.

The injury done to the bolts and small craft is most extensive, and many have been lost! ►iimity. ft is stated, and stated with a pre cision worthy of the Woolsack, that the Irish Church Reform Bill will be rejected by a ma jority of fifty in the House of Lords. It is announced, and the warlike tone of the an nouncement well beseems the Secretary at War, that the consequence of this rejection will be change, and convulsion, and civil war. We too foretel that the House of Lords will reject the Irish Chuch Reform Bill ; but we prophesy, relying upon other auguries than those which inspire the vaticinations of our enemies. We know of no plot in the coffee-room of the Club; we are conscious of no cabal in the anticharnbers of the Court ; we arc not so industrious as our contemporaries, in constru ing the whispers of Royal Dukes; nor so ingenious in detecting a treasonable inuendo in the visiting cards of Noble Ladies. We anticipate the failure of the Bill, because its prin ciples are opposed to our ideas of right and of religion ; and because in the House of Lords we believe there is yet some veneration for jus tice, and some attachment to the Protestant faith, We too foretel that the consequence of this re jection will be a strug. i ,le in which the nation will have need of the prudence and the integrity of her wisest and most virtuous sons. But again w e prophesy, regarding events with a very dif ferent view from that in which our enemies con template them. We do not see that the Irish Church Reform Bill is, for its own sake, held in any great esteem by any class of the community. If it is condemned at Oxford, it is not in great favour at Maynooth ; if it is attacked by Sir R. Inglis, it can scarcely be said to be defended by Mr. O'Connell. There are not ten men throughout the empire who would say that the independence of one Peer of the realm ought to be forfeited for any one benefit contingent upon the enactment of aay one clause in the Irish Church Reform Bill. We anticipate a conflict, because we know that there are some miserable enthusiasts, and so:ne unprincipled traitors, who desire to accomplish, at the short est period, and by the most desperate means, the abolition of our hereditary Peerage ; and because we can readily imagine that any occasion upon which his Grace the Duke of Wellington shall differ with Colon€l Evans, or Lord Lyndhurst presume to think Mr. Roebuck wrong, will at once awaken against the House of Lords all the frenzy of fanaticism, and all the malice of rebel lion. " Cabals and intrigues," we are told, " are going on in all quarters." Cabals and in trigues are necessary to men who conspire against our institutions ; they are most super. fluous to men who combine for their defence. Cabals and intrigues are serviceable to those by whom the conscientious opinion of the House of Lords is to be stifled; they are contemptible to those by whom that opinion is sought and respected. Cabals and intrigues are the weapons of the King's Ministers, who would extort from their Royal Master unconsti tutional pledges; they are hateful engines to those loyal subjects who would leave him the free exercise of his sound judgment. " The❑ comes," we are warned, " the opposition of a majority of Peers to the King, represented by his official servants—to the House of Commons, representing the people of England—and to the nation itself; taken parish by parish and house by house." This is the insane drivel of about nable falsehood. When the question shall be, " Are we to preserve the powers and preroga tives of the House of Lords ?" is it not calumny of the most atrocious dye to say that the King, to say that the House of Commons, to say that the people of England, are prepared to decree their extinction ?—Morning Post. CREDITORS of MACKINTOSH and Co, CALCUTTA. It appears from the report that the total amount of claims on the firm of Messrs. Mackintosh and Co., en the 4rh of January last (the day on which the house sus pended payment), amounted to 2,37,06,100 sicca rupees, and the estimated value of assets by the Committee are 98,78,310 sicca rupees. In addition to which, there are certain suspense accounts, which the Committee have deemed it snore advisable to place as prospective assets than to fix a valuat'on that coul,l only be conjectural. The amount of these is 31,08,000 sicca rupees. The report, after detail's respecting the diffe,ent kinds of assets, and the probability of rendering them available, into welch we c innot enter, concludes thus ; " The Committee trust, in the eventual closing of the accounts of this firm, from the reduction which they have deemed it re quisite to make in the gross amounts of claim, that by a well concerted and impartial justice in pressing the liquidation of the demands, a much earlier mode of adjustment may be adopted in reference to this firm than has appeared practicable in similar cases; and it is only with that view they can hold out to the creditors the prospect of any division of assets at so early a period as the ist of May, 1831, at which period five per cent. on the gross amount of claims on the firm of Messrs. Mackintosh and Co. may be available, a corresponding sum in each of the sub sequent three years, and an additional sum of five per cent. on the Ist of May, 1833, making four dividends of five per cent. dur ing the years 1831, 1835, 1836, 1837, and ten per cent. in 1838. The committee, however, do not consider that this calculation is wholly to be relied upon as a positive result, but as depending entirely upon the realization of the debts due from the civil and military services and other individuals. Should the claim on the Philippine Company be adjusted, and any more favourable cir cumstance arise in the suspense account mentioned in the gene ral statement, a further division may take place.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Wednesday.) Le•'ters are said to have been received by the Spanish Ambassador, announcing that the Government is appre hensive of a protest from the bishops at the meeting of the Cartes on the 20th instant, and that Madrid is in a state of great agitation —Temps. The Memorial Bordelais of the 9th instant contains the following particulate relative to the departure of the Duchess of Berry :—" But few strangers went to Blaye t, witness the departure of the prisoner. The groups as semoled on the port and in the vicinity of the citadel were merely composed of the inhabitan•s of the town and neighbourhood ; the latter had come on the preceding evening to attend the market, which is held every &our day. No extraordinary bustle was remarked at Waye. A stranger, on seeing the state of the town at seven o'clock in the morning, would never have suspected that a few hours after the citadel would be opened to send out personages who a short time ago attracted so much attention. was not till nine o'clock that the preparations far the d- parture commenced, and the spectators assembled near the place of embarkation. The National Guards and th e troops of the line were drawn up from the gate of the ci tadel to the channel leading to the river. The spectators, almost all standing in the same line as the soldiers, filled up the vacant spaces. A few minutes before ten o'clock the Countess de Palli appeared, leaning on the arm of General Bugeaud, and followed by one of the General's Aide-- de.Cemp, the nurse who carried the child, the Count de Mesnard, and the other persons who accompany her on her voyage. Het• dress was very plain, consisting of a coloured gown, a small straw hat, and a light shawl. As she walked, she was constantly conversing with General Bugeaud, whose steps she aeemeil anxious to hasten. Wraen she arrived at the channel, the Countess d'lsle, a lady well known at Blaye for her legitimatist principles, fell on her knees before her and begged leave to kiss her hand. After Aline. d'lsle, two other ladies, one of whom was Mlle. Defoe, sud the other, it is said, Mine. Dant pierre, entreated the same favour. This was granted them by the Countess de Palli, who, however, seemed more anxious to go on hoard than to listen to the comfit lence of these ladie.t. Captain Leblanc, commander of the Capricieuse, gave her his hand to assist her to enter the boat which was to convey her to the steam-vessel. He also took from the - nurse, and held in his arms the infant, in order to enable her to enter the boat without danger. Being safely on board the steam-boat, the Countess de Palli went down for a moment to see the cabin which had been prepared for her. After this she came upon deck again, and remained there as long as the vessel was in sight of Blaye. The persons who accompany her, among whom we observed M. Deneux, the Count de Mesnard, who wore a large straw hat, M. Menieres, the Abbe Sabathier, Mine. de Hensler, &c., went successively on hoard in other b ats; then followed 25 of the National Guards of Re ) e, of whom five were officers or non-commissioaed officer , , 25 men of the crew of the Capricieuse, and the principal authorities of the town. When the embarkation was ter minated, the vessel was set in motion and soon disappeared, as well as the people and the soldiers, so that, half an hour after, Blaye was restored to its usual tranquillity. The utmost calm attended this kind of ceremony, and the in difference of yesterday is now changed into oblivion." The journal has also the following :—" We have to state a fact which occurred a few instants previous to the de parture of the Countess de Lucchesi Palli, which might have beet me very serious if particular circutns•ances had not called elsewhere the attention of the crowd. A barge stationed a short distance from the channel had a trico loured flag fixed to the top of her ma-t. About 9 o'clock two police officers ordered the master of the barge to stri . ee the flag, intimating to hint that they were authorized to conduct him to prison if he refused to comply with their order. After some objections le, was obliged to yield to the injunctions of the authorities, however arbitrary they appeared.

LONDON MARKETS, From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR-The demand for West India Muscovades early in he week was general and extensive, but the request has since fallen off; but without producing any reduction in the prices. The estimated sales for the week are 3,400 hhds. and,trs., in. eluding the Trinidad and Barbadoes public sales; the former currency is fully supported. In the Refined market there is no export demand, as the shippers cannot purchase at the prices demanded ; for crashed 315. is asked, and buyers offer 295, 6d. and 30s. No sales of Lumps for export. A parcel of good Hamburg Loaves, patent, has been sold at 325. The demand for fine goods for the home consumption of the country is on a more confined scale than usual, but there is little variation in prices. The business doing in Refined Sugars this day conti nues almost wholly confined to the home trade, and the quoted prices are fully maintained.
