SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is with great pleasure that we direct the attention of our readers to the cordial and en thusiastic reception which the Queen of Portugal has experienced by our fellow-countrymen, from the moment at which she landed in England, until she was received as the guest of their Majesties in Windsor Castle yesterday. We cannot for a moment doubt that these expressions of generous and gallant feelings, and of honest and upright sentiment, toward this injured Princess, will be re-echoed in every quarter of the kingdom--excepting only the professed Mi guelites and their Swiss allies—that disgraceful portion of the press, which, calling itself " Con servative," and eternally prating about religion and morality, laud and uphold the perfidy of the Usurper Miguel, while they pursue the victim of his iniquity with sneers and sarcasms to the very threshold of the palace . of their Sovereign. In the scorn and contempt of all men who are not depraved even to the level of these " Conservative" scribes, or of those who pay or patronize them, such baseness and bru tality will meet its reward—as assuredly will their master and model Miguel, either at the hands of her Most Faithful Majesty's troops, or in perpetual confinement to the pestilent purlieus of some half civilized and despotic Court.— Times. Most measures of reform and retrenchment necessarily carry with them more or less of in dividual loss and disappointment ; and of course convert the losers by them into so many enemies of the authors. This has been strikingly the case with Lord Brougham's Bankruptcy Act, which every mercantile man knows has already brought about great improvements in the here tofore dilatory and expensive practice of that branch of the law, and will doubtless accomplish much more as its machinery comes better into play, and its defects, as they present themselves, are obviated. Yet this wholesome measure was and is assailed, as was to be expected, by the many persons whose useless offices it converted into others of utility. The sleepers are quite horrified at seeing their duties devolve upon persons awake. The late Commissioners of Bankrupts, who, from their number, have been somewhat irreverently styled" The Septuagint," take the lead in this warfare. The opposition of forty lawyers, and those, many of them con sisting of persons who had no other claim to their late appointments than that which family connections or political influence gave them, is of itself no trifling gauntlet for any measure to run, especially pursued as this has been with a degree of virulence and misrepresentation, which the most practised advocate would be ashamed to employ in the case of a client ; so true is it that the brief is not always the apology for the licence of the Bar. But the most striking proof of the male volence with which this subject is pursued con sists in this—that even the very attempt to re medy some of the defects which those very opponents have pointed out is made an additional ground of charge against the Lord Chancellor. The number of the Judges of the Court of Re view have, for instance, been found too numerous. And why so, but principally because the new Commissioners do their duty with so much more talent and industry than the old ones, that not one-tenth of the questions for revision arise un der the new system as occurred under the old ? Well, what does Lord Brougham do, on the discovery of this, but when one of the Judges (the late Sir Albert Pell) dies, he declines filling up the vacancy, and then brings in a Bill, which he succeeds in getting passed into an Act, as signing to the two remaining Puisne Judges of the new Court new and efficient duties ? Of these the principal are giving them powers co ordinate with those of the present Commissioners of the Insolvent Court, so as to enable that Court to dispose of the cases of persons imprisoned for debt with more certainty and rapidity than they have hitherto done. Now who this can injure we were at a loss to conceive, till the notable discovery is an nounced that it will prevent the counsel and the officers of the Insolvent Court from having any vacation. The sheriff's officer has no holyday— the writ of latitat has no holyday--the whole machinery of incarceration, like the sun in its course, never stops; but those whose duty it is to mitigate the evil by setting the prisoner free, are so worn down by their gainful operations, and so incapable of assisting each other, that it is necessary, in their view of the matter (or rather, perhaps, in the view of those who put them forward as stalking horses upon the occa sion), that hundreds of unfortunate beings, guilty of nc crime but that of poverty, should linger in prison, that those persons may be enabled to spend the time and money of the public at some watering place, or other scene of idleness and dissipation. And is this all that can be alleged against Lord Brougham's Bill? If so, though perfection is net the lot of mortal achievement, his Lordship must be admitted to have arrived as near it upon this occasion, as the emptiness and acrimony of opposition ever exem plified. — Morning Herald. The Whigs committed a great error when they re-appointed the Marquis of Anglesey to the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, in which office he had been tried by the Duke of Wel lington, his old companion in arms and politics, and found incapable. If this was done by the Whigs merely to spite the Duke, they have certainly spited themselves most egregiously, for never has Ireland had any peace since he went back to govern it. Under his inauspicious sway the Whigs have had recourse to a measure which is in itself a sentence of incompetency upon their own chosen Viceroy of that part of the United Kingdom. Indeed their plea for violating all constitutional principles, and esta blishing military tribunals as the machinery of Ireland's pacification, was that violence, intimi dation, and outrage prevailed to an unexampled extent—that there was no longer any security for-life or property—that society was becoming disorganized, and civil power was nerveless to uphold the authority of the ordinary laws. It is true no legal evidence was laid before Parliament of this state of things, but taking it for granted that the frightful description was a true one, could there, we ask, be a greater proof of the incapacity of the Governor than such a portraiture of the state of the governed ? Let it be recollected that when the Marquis of Anglesey was an opponent of Catholic emanci pation he threw down the gauntlet to the • " seven millions, in the House of Peers, i n a manner which was very suitable with the cha racter of a bold dragoon, but which very ill be came a Statesman ; —when, subsequently to the death of the Duke of York, be took the other side of the question, he showed just as much military ardour and as little political good sense —of this his memorable advice to " agitate — agitate--agitate " was a sufficient proof. He ought thenceforward to have been allowed to re pose upon his laurels, never again to be dis turbed by the cares of civil Government, for which nature never intended him. It was a malicious friendship which drew him forth again and placed him in the position of a Statesman, but without any of the resources of civil wisdom, to seek popularity one day at Donnybrook fair, and the next to talk of subduing all Ireland with four gun brigs ! At the head of the British cavalry, leading a charge, the Marquis of An glesey was in his proper place, and won honour for his country and himself; but to make so thorough a dragoon officer Civil Governor of Ireland was not more preposterous than it would be to mount his Majesty's Attorney General on a war horse, and give him an opportunity of displaying his military prowess as Commander of the Forces. A punster would say that the Learned Gentleman could at least make a lawyer's charge ; but we question if the state of the army under his command would not soon resemble the state of Ireland, and call for Parliamentary revision. But if it be true that the Marquis of Anglesey is at length recalled to make room for the Marquis Wellesley, we can only say that he who antici pates any advantage to Ireland from the change, must be a person of very easy faith in a politi cal point of view. The Marquis Wellesley dis played in his Indian Government no ordinary talents and energy of character, though marred by a lofty pretension of manner which is never characteristic of true greatness of mind. After wards, as Chief Governor of Ireland, he showed no ability whatever, except the ability to prac tice the virtue of a rigid economy in the Vice regal Palace. There seldom has been a less popular Chief Governor in Ireland. If his mind had become comparatively feeble, then it must be much more feeble now. He is, in fact, a superannuated Statesman, whom it is a pity to drag upon the stormy scene of Irish politics once more. He is not the Prospero whom the unquiet spirits of that tempestuous region will obey. His is not the potent spell that can charm Ireland into tranquillity. If it be not necessary to send a nobleman of superior mental vigour and talents to Ireland, surely one, at least, of superior fortune ought to be selected for that office—one who would go to that impoverished country to circulate money, not to save it ; and whose Court might be splendid enough to in duce a renegade Aristocracy to spend a few months in the year in their native land.— Morning Herald. The question is very generally asked whether our recognition, and the Windsor state dinners consequent upon it, can make Donna Maria, eldest daughter of Don Pedro, with a son living—Donna Maria, once the heiress ex pectant of the Brazilian Throne, and by her own father still styled Duchess of Gran Para, bor dering on the River Amazon—legitimate and acceptable Queen of Portugal ? This is a point which the Portuguese ought to have been al lowed to decide themselves, and after their own fashion ; but Lord Palmerston says he would rather do it himself, it being an affair too delicate, too important, to be trusted either to the decision of the ancient laws of Por tugal or the erroneous ideas of the modern Portuguese. Portugal has ever been consi dered as a colony of Great Britain, and by no people so much so as our good and worthy friends the French ; therefore the disputed succession to the Crown of that country ought to be, and, says our Foreign Secretary, shall be, settled in Downing -street, and the cele bration of the fiat there given held at Windsor. The warnings of history, it may be readily con ceived, can have little effect upon a man who handled all the military reports of the Peninsular war, and yet did not retain in his memory a single illustrative feature, a solitary prominent trait, of the genius and character of the people dwelling on this side of the Pyrenees, which reports, during a long and arduous contest, dis tinctly showed that they were decidedly opposed to all foreign intervention in their own domestic concerns. Napoleon entered Spain with pro mises of regeneration on his lips, and yet those promises, fairly made, were indignantly rejected. Junot, as his representative, at the head of 25,000 men, and after he had secured the co operation of many leading Portuguese, did the same when he reached Lisbon ; but still the sound part of the population distrusted his pledges and flew to arms. These manifestations of popular feeling against foreign interven tion, against foreign advice, and foreign op pression, induced us to send an auxiliary army to the Peninsula, and victory was the result. Continental Europe was perhaps then saved from universal thraldom, and yet the Peninsula spirit which roused opposition and called forth the elements of reaction, was no other than the dread of a foreign yoke and insults to their religion . The spirit of patriotism has been supposed to delight most in moun tainous regions, and the conduct of both the Spaniards and Portuguese at the time alluded to confirmed this idea. Totally divested of re sources, betrayed by many of those who ought to have been their leaders, and even deprived of their respective Sovereigns, both nations never theless spurned the apparently easy yoke which, by means of a superior military force and all kinds of stratagems, it was wished to impose upon their necks. Similar is the aim of the present invaders of the Peninsula, although dis guised under a different form. England was then an auxiliary, now she is an abettor : but her Sovereign and his Ministers ought not to forget that the descendant of James 11., known abroad as the Chevalier de St. George, and at home as the Young Pretender, on the Continent assumed the title of King of England, and as such was recognized by many of the Courts of Europe. As such he received kingly honours, was feasted at royal palaces, had guards at his gate ' and even enjoyed the privilege of bestow ing a certain number of Cardinals' hats. k 1 son Prince Charles did not enjoy these honours; and, dying after his mother's immense fortune had been spent in vain attempts to excite re bellion and defeat the settlement made by the British Parliament, he left his empty pretensions to the Crown of these realms to his brother, Cardinal York. After the battle of Culloden had settled the arduous and unfortunate enter prise, the surviving Pretender, although then at Dunkirk at the head of an army of 15,000, which the obsequious French had prepared for his aid, withdrew to Rome, and took to the church, leaving behind him a few solitary medals, one of which we know was in the possession of our late Sovereign, with this inscription, " Anglia Rex Dct gratia, sed non voluntate h e o t n a i natu aid, will And, w ith all Lord Pahnerston's x , casta not medaltheo littlefa similar Qmilueaernevetltually have description, and send it as a present to Windsor ?—Morn in g Post. There is nothing like women for looking after the main chance; if you observe, they never look upon bank-notes as money. how happy would it have been for England if it had been governed by the wives and instead of the husbands and daughters of Ministers, MI. OLD BAILEY, SEPT. 10. OLD COURT. The jury acquitted James Orlando Williams , whose case was not concluded when our reporter left yesterday. They also acquitted William Rogers, indicted for having committed a rape upon Eliza Pemberton, aged 15. SHOOTING WITH INTENT TO KlLL—William Thomas Stoner, aged 58, was indicted for maliciously shooting at William Upjohn, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor was a lad 14 or 15 years of age. He and another lad, named Jones, were throwing stones in the Vauxhall-road, when a gun was fired, and the prosecutor was struck in the back of the head by the shot, which made fifteen wounds there. The boy Jones deposed to hearing a voice ex claim, " I have you now ;" he did not, however, see any one. The prosecutor did not hear this ex pression ; but, upon turning round, he saw that the prisoner was the person who fired at him, He was certainly agitated, but still he could see who fired the gun. The policeman who took the prisoner into cus tody, deposed that the prisoner admitted having fired the gun, but without intending to hurt the boys. He fired it merely to frightem them from his garden. A surgeon stated, that prosecutor was in St. George's Hospital from the Bth to the 25th of last month, and that there were fifteen small wounds on the back of his head. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that seeing some boys attempt to get into the garden, he went towards them, but stumbled, when the gun which was in his hand went off by accident. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good cha racter for humanity. Amongst these was the pri soner's master, with whom he had lived 12 years. The Jury, after consulting a few miuutes, ac quitted the prisoner. ANOTHER LUNATlC.—Frederick Scyffert, aged 36, was charged with stabbing John Benton, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Charles Scyffert, collector of the Post-horse Duty, residing at Pimlico, deposed, that he was father of the prisoner, who came to him at the toll-house; he remained there from five in the morning till the afternoon, and repeatedly threatened to destroy wit ness and prisoner's mother with a knife and fork, and using most abusive language; witness called a constable, who was afraid to act, and said he could not interfere without seeing a blow struck; pri soner had then a fork in his hand, and threa tened to stick the policeman ; this went on to a quarter before nine; when witness spoke to Sergeant Benton, and said his son was raging mad ; he had been in several lunatic asylums, and had once cut his throat, at another time hanged himself, and once attempted to drown himself; pri soner threatened to rip up witness's guts, and two or three times sharpened a fork on the stones; when Benton came up, on witness's request, to take him to a place of safety, prisoner stabbed Benton with the folk he had in his hand ; witness saw it stick ing in Benton's side; Benton drew it out and ap prehended prisoner ; at this time prisoner was most decidedly mad ; had been so for five or six years ; prisoner is now quiet, and believes him to be per fectly rational; but he will fly out into fits of vio lence all in a moment ; prisoner had strange fancies; thought persons were after him, and that he saw birds, horses' heads, &c. The prisoner answered the RECORDER'S ques tions very wildly, and said he would rather have his life taken away, than be put under restraint. John Benton, the police sergeant, corroborated the statement of the first witness; the fork was thrust an inch and a half in his side, and the blood flowed abundantly; witness then apprehended the prisoner, and went to St. George's Hospital; pri soner plunged the fork into witness with all his strength; witness's great coat protected him very much. Mr. Francis Hicks, surgeon, described the pearance of the wounds, which were between the fifth and sixth ribs; nothing but such an instru ment as a fork could have produced such a wound ; it was not a dangerous one, though, from the state of the body, such wounds are sometimes dangerous ; had the wound been half an inch deeper, it would have wounded the lungs ; the great coat, no doubt, protested Benton ; for four or five days witness did not think all danger removed; the wound was a punctured one; it was a stab but not a cut; the wound was not, technically speaking, an incised one. Joseph Maycock swore to the deranged state of prisoner's mind for some years past; at times he is a raving madman. It was dangerous to let him he at large, his fits were so violent and so sudden. The Jury acquitted the prisoner, on the ground of insanity at the time of the commission of the offence. The COURT ordered the prisoner to be kept in strict custody till his Majesty's pleasure was known. Thomas Cormack, labourer, aged sixty, was indicted for cutting and wounding An❑ Dargon, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. The jury found a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner was ordered to be detained, in case any minor charge should be brought against him. NEW COURT. Marcus Winer was indicted for receiving some property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. DOANE, who appeared for the defence, ob jected that it was not stated in the indictment to whom the property belonged. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN thought there was nothing in the objection. Mr. DOANE said that, for aught that appeared, the property might have belonged to the prisoner himself; and he might, under this form of indict ment, be tried for receiving his own stolen property. The question was submitted to the Judges, and Mr. Serjeant ARABIN, on their opinion, directed an acquittal. John Pinks Holloway was indicted for forgery, and for uttering, knowing to be forged, a certain bill of exchange, with intent to defraud Thomas Dring. The evidence of the crime was rather strong in the first instance, but on the cross-examination of the witnesses by Mr. Clarkson, it appeared very doubt ful where the matter deserved to be considered in so strong a light; and this at least was evident, that much negociation had taken place on the subject of arranging the affair between the parties. The Jury, under these circumstances, stated that they could have no reliance on the testimony of the prosecutor. They acquitted the prisoner, and re commended the Court not to allow his expenses to the prosecutor. The expenses were accordingly refused. William Searle was indicted on three separate charges of forging receipts, with intent to defraud his roasters, Josiah and William Smith. It ap peared that he was in their employment as clerk— that he had been sent to the Leith and two other wharfs with packages, to be sent off by ship—that receipts for the payment of the shipping money had been given for ls. 6d., is. 10d., and Is. 2d., and that in each case these receipts had been altered so as to appear 2s. 6d., 2s. 10d., and 2s. 2d. Mr. Josiah Smith, who was the chief witness, was a very self-complacent gentleman. He told Mr. Phillips, with a smile, that he was witness, counsel and prosecutor. Mr. PHILLIPS, who conducted the defence, at first gravely cautioned him against being a Counsel in a case in which he was witness, and then laughingly reminded him of the proverb that described the sort of client a man had who was his own Counsel. The sort of prophecy contained in this warning was ve rified by the result of the casea, for in each instance the prosecutor broke down through the absence of proof, that the prisoner had been the person who had altered the receipts. The prisoner was, therefore, aqui qed. THE AIISTAKE.—Mr. Wontner applied to the Court for authority to detain a woman who had been t r ied and convicted, and sentenced to seven year - s' transportation, and w ho having b een impro perly tri e d, had been againindicted, when the jury threw out the bill. lie had, he said, been applied P.OUIJIL's '_.i? to in order to discharge her, but be objected to do so, as she had been committed to his custody in exe cution. At the same time he did not know that without the authority he had power to detain her. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN at once ordered her to be detained, and said, that as there had been a convic tion, and a warrant to commit her in execution, on that conviction an application must be made to the Crown for a pardon. He said that Mr. Wontner might apply to the Judges, but Mr. Wontner answered, that he thought his Lordship's authority sufficient. The prisoner, therefore, remained in custody.

The 10th Hussars expect to return from Dublin to Newbridge, where the young horses and recruits are, in about a month. The officers of the 80th Regiment, at Naas, have dis tinctly negatived a report that any of their men had taken part i❑ the Orange processions last July in the North. The reserve companies of the 29th at Spike Island, Camden, and Carlisle forts proceeded to Charles Fort, Kinsale, on Monday. The Scots Greys do not enlist any recruit under five feet ten inches, and they must be besides natives of Scot. land. When a soldier is sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour he shall be sent to the county house of correction, and not remain under military confinement.

A Court of Inquiry was assembled last week at Chatham Barracks, for the purpose of investigating the conduct of three young officers, who had been engaged in play with a young man, a resident of the city of Rochester. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) Capt. Sawbridge's company, 28th Regiment, left this yesterday for Newport. The reserve of the 29th Regiment, under the command of Major Walter, marched into Kinsale on Monday last. The regiment was in the same quarters eight year s ago ; and on the occasion of their leaving a most handsome and flattering address was presented to the regiment, signed by the principal inhabitants of the place, expressive of the regret they felt at parting with them. A company of the sth Regiment, under Capt. King and Lieut. Graves, arrived in Killaloe on Thursday from Nenagh, to occupy the barracks there, which is to be continued as a military station. The Athol troop ship, and Stentor military transport, are hourly expected at the Cove of Cork from Portsmouth, whence they sailed early in the week. A company in the Cavan Regiment of Militia is vacant by the death of Captain Adams at the Isle of Man. The contract for lighting all the military baracks in Ireland commences from the Ist of October next. A late order from the Horse Guards decides that every officer abroad who shall not draw his pay from the mili tary chest on his station is to be considered as constituting the regimental agent his private agent, and consequently having no claims to relief from the public or from the Co lonel, in the event of the agent's failure. A most terrible accident occurred to a lad, aged thirty years, in Mr. Lister's mill, Halifax, last week. While feeding the rollers he was caught by the arms, the bones were fractured severe l y , and the flesh entirely stripped from above the elbow do wn over his hands ; the poor fellow was co nve y ed to th e Dispen sary, and every attention !mid him, but we fear he will expire under his sufferings; and his weakness is so great that a mputation cannot 1;e performed.—Leeds Mercury. LAMENTABLE SUICIDE.--On Sunday, Mr. jmor TATTERSALL, jun., the son of Mr. Ti0.4.7,:R5AL1., cotton-manufacturer, of Oldham, put an end to his ex istence by hanging himself in the attic story above his father's warehouse, at Lyon Mills, nea r Oldh am . H e was found ou the Alonday forenoon, after a diligent search, his absence having created much alarm in the family and neighbourhood. Be had a prayer-book be side him when discovered. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of "Destroyed himself iu a fit of lunacy" was returned.—Bolton Chronicle. The last month has witnessed a sale of the largoet collection of books ever brought at one time to a public auction. The stock , (upwards of 36,000 vo l umes ) that formed the Minerva Library, I , eadenhall-street, has been sold, and, from the very depressed state cf trade, many thousand volumes of the novels only produced 3d. and 4d. per volume ; the consequences are that many booksellers are offering collections from the stock of 100, 600, and 1,000 volumes at the unprecedented low price of bd. and lid, per volume. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The Sugar Market remained very/dull all last week, and when sales were effected, a reduction of 6d. to la. per cwt. was submitted to ; the decline was not, however, genera], as many of the holders would not submit to any reduction, and declined selling ; the total purchases of the week were limited to 1,800 hhds. and trs. The Market opened very heavily this morning, and has conti nued dull throughout the day. The estimated sales are only a few hundred hhds. and ire. The prices were nearly the same as realised on Friday last, but the Market is exceedingly heavy. The Barbadoes public sale 120 Wills. went off Is. lower than the last sale, mid. quality 60s. a 655. The stock of West India Sugar is now - 42,913 hhds. and trs., being 5,073 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 102,514 bags, being 56,112 more than last year. The delivery of West India is 2,260 hhds. and trs., being 1,224 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 5,555 bags, being 1,661 more than the corresponding week of 1832. The Refined Market last week remained in an inactive and nominal state; the few purchases re ported were altogether for home consumption, which were confined to small parcels for the immediate wants of the trade. The Market this afternoon remains in the same dull and nominal state which we have lately reported. 111A.URITIUS SUGAR.-Mauritius Sugar fell 6d. to Is. per cwt. last week, brown, 555. a 57a., yellow, 58e. a 61s. This day's public sale 409 bags went off heavily, at the decline we have stated i❑ the market prices, ls. per cwt., fair to fine yellow, 575. a 665. 6d. EAST INDIA SUGAR. -- The few sales of East India Sugars were at the redaction of Is. 6d. a 2s. per cwt., the decline we mentioned in our last publication.

Brazil Sugar, Pername, and Bahia sold about 2s. lower, brown Bahia sold 205., white, 245. a 245. 6d. Average price of Sugar, 11. 15s. 101 d. per cwt.

IRISH PaovisioNs.-The arrivals of Foreign Butter in the last week were 5,943 casks-of Irish 5,916 firkins, and of Bacon 1,210 bales. The price of fine Friesland Butter at the quay cannot be quoted over 82s. per cwt., and although the shippers of Irish are in general looking for rather higher prices the last two or three days, the market is in a very inanimate state, and where sales are effected, a trifling decline in our quotations of this day se'nnight in most instances should be submitted to The trade are impressed with an idea (notwithstanding the strong representations made from Ireland to the contrary) that the make of Butter is that country to the present time, as well as in this, has been abundant, and they therefore see no inducement for entering into purchases at present rates beyond their immediate wants; Carlow (as to the repute of the shippers) we quote 755. a 78s. on board, '76s. a '799. landed, Belfast 765. a 775. landed, Waterford '72s. a '74a. on board, 735. a 765. landed, Limerick 725. 6d. on board, '7ss. landed, Cork (as to the assortment) '72s. a 73e. on board, 735. a 745. landed, Dublin 68e. a 698. on board, 70s. a 71s. landed, Newry 685., Banbridge 695. a 705., and Sligo 705. on board for this month's shipment. Some few sales of new singed Bacon (light weights) are effecting by Waterford shippers at 375. a 38s. on board for this month's shipment, yet over 38a. cannot be obtained for late and small meat, recently arrived; for the best description of the sizeable stale singed Bacon lying at the wharfs 325. a 335. is a fair quotation, and for the heavy 28s. a 305., but there are several parcels to be purchased as l 6 as 20s. a 255. per cwt. Bladder Lard Is in demand, and for Waterford and Limerick of fine quality 555. a 565. is demanded, and 525. a 535. for Belfast.

Sperm Oil has advanced 21. to 41. per tun, owing to the loss of four ships that were expected in this year, the highest paid price is 691., but it is difficult at the moment to quote a correct price, holders not being disposed to name one. In Linseed Oil considerable sales are making for all deliveries up to March next ;on the spot Oil is scarce. Rape Oil in good demand. TURPENTINE.—A small lot was this week sold at 12s. 3d. SiLic.—Ne alteration in prices since our last, but a tendency to advance. 11. , ce there is no alteration worth reporting.

Surat Cotton, fair quality 7d., 275 Ws. Madras, good fine Bid. a 81-d., 8 bls. very clean 101 1 41. The sale went off well at full prices ; not much doing by private contract, but the Market firm.
