chairman, a clerk, the relieving officers, the governor, the surgeons, the taskmaster, the schoolmaster, the nurse, the porter. The following would be dispensed with :—The auditor. the removal officer, the assistant overseer and settlement officer, the collector of poors'-rate, the treasurer. The chairman would be the general officer of a dis trict comprising at the least five unions. He would be able to attend to five unions, leaving Saturday and Sunday at his own disposal. He would be removeable at pleasure by the head department from one district to another district ; and as be would be a superior officer, he would efficiently control the clerks, the relieving officers, the surgeons, and other officers of each union under his superintendence. The duties of the surgeons and relieving officers and clerk would remain as they are at present ; and this paid chairman would be in place of the present board. Now, as under a general system, statistics would be everything, this paid chairman would be sufficiently controlled— lst. As to the granting sufficient relief ; and, 2d. As to an effectual check upon the expenditure. The local authorities, the coroner, the magistrates, and the public press, would be ample means to ensure suffi cient relief being granted to distress ; more ample than what is ensured at present ; because, with a local board of guardians (irresponsible as it is), its local influence has power over local authorities, over the coroner, the ma gistrates, and the press—a power and influence which a paid officer would not possess. The proposed plan would, therefore, not lose in comparison with the pre sent system. Any alteration, therefore, must be in favour of sufficient relief being immediately granted to distress. And now as to the second head:—An effectual check upon the expenditure would arise from the authorities in the head office, or Government department. If a paid chairman's district presented an unfavourable compari son with the results arising from the statistics of relief in similarly situated districts, information would be re quested ; if not satisfactory, the chairman would be re moved to another district, and some other chairman tried with his district. If a chairman proved himself incompetent, the statistics of office or the complaints of the local authorities would discharge him. And now as to the saving. This in a national point of view I cannot exactly determine, but I can at once determine it as regards my own union. It is as follows: 7 The entire cost of the union establishment at present is as follows: Clerk Relieving officers 320 Surgeons Governor ... 100 Auditor. Removal officer SO Expenses of removal incidental Taskmaster, School master, Nurse, and charges 827 Law expenses Collectors and Assis tant Overseers !Treasurer 4O !Assessing property Porter .6998 i £2,648 The •erage expenditure of our union is I , ,,tusat The save; would be 2,6401., or nearly one-sixth el the whole expenditure. Surely such a saving alone, especially when combined with greater efficiency and humanity, ought to be suffi cient to call for the change. But it is impossible to say what the exact saving would be to the community at large. The poors'-rate being entirely abolished, the losses incurred in collection, the misery caused by distraint warrants, the peculations of local officers, the large amount of bookke e pi ng at present required, and the difficulties attendant on the superintending the collection of the rate, would be avoided. I cannot estimate these as regards the com munity at large at less than 20 per cent. As to the numerous objections whieh may be raised against the abandonment of poors'-rates on account of the county rates and other charges, which at present are paid from these sources ; such objections are best an swered by stating that the inclination of the Legislature has been already evinced to throw these payments on the Consolidated Fund. One-half of the criminal prose cutions is now paid by the Government ; and crime being $ national curse, prevention ought to be a national care and expense. It is already deemed right for the country to pay half, it must be equally right to pay the whole. These objections I will not further notice—their answer is ob vious if they are rail. d. The 2d objection :—That at present the comparuive expense t. some townships is light, and why should they lose their present advantage ? The answer to this is, that every township will par ticipate in the national advantage derived from a more systematic relief and cure of pauperism. It cannot cost the lightly-charged-at-present township more than it does at present ; whereas, it will be. a great and season able relief to the heavily-at-present -charged township. The present advantage of the lightly-charged township is merely an advantage when compared with another township more heavily charged ; and the inequality of such local charges is a very great blot upon the pre sent system. Efficiency, economy, and humanity will all be served by abolishing settlements ; and the general taxes of the country are the only proper sources from whence relief for national evils should be taken. In Ireland and Scotland difficulties in poor-law relief and management exist; and why? Because there is no national cure for national distress. Would not the pro posed plan enable the Government to avoid all the dif tieulties of the present system? Ireland and Scotland are integral portions of the kingdom, and ought to be equally dealt with, as regards pauperism. Not being a financier, it is not part of my duty to show the " ways and means;" but a national tax for pcor-law purposes, I apprehend, would have all the difficulties of the present system, and be little or no improvement. The only improvement in that case being the more systematic giving of relief. The same st of offieers for collecting such a tax would have to be kept up. The whole charge should therefore be placed upon the " ways and means" of the country; and the land owners would reap a rich reward for their support to this measure, by their entire freedom from pcors'-rates. The poor man would, from his consumption of taxed articles, be indirectly paying towards the national purse, ;from which in case of want his relief would be supplied; arid as re i gards the fairness or unfairness of legis;ative taxation, I am quite prepared to leave that question to be decided by the Legislature, acted upon as it may be by our free constitution. 'lf parties will first ascertain the cheapest, most humani , and efficacious method of dealing with pauperism, ':hey mi•,-; . I q)end upon it that method will be the best tfor :i.ture interest-, ; and that the question of greatigr : loss expenditure to their own localities will, •when coaTired with ultimate results, sink into utter insirrniaa c..ee. Ihave, now stated the suggested plan, I think suffi ciently'fin. the purposes of your request ; I have had considerabla experience in poor-law affairs, and am con vinced that few plans could be devised worse for the leypayers than the present law and practice of settle .ment. But when ,treating a malady, cut* it. This evn only be done by a complete change ; and if this sketch is at all instrumental in such a result, it will be s gratifying recollection that I have been in the slightest degree instrumental therein. I t may be added, that this letter has been laid before a Committee of the Stockport Board of Guardians, and received its unanimous approval. I have the honour to be, yours faithfully, HENRY COPPOCK, Clerk to the Stockport Uuion. .Stockport, November l6, 1844. Manchester, Nov. 16, 1844.

JOHN LATHAM, Chairman. Nov. 22, 1844. NER GARDINER. JOHN LATHAM. Approved on reference, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS% tsoM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE. —The style in which Mr. Gladstone (if the Quarterly article on Ward's Ideal Church is cur rectly attributed to that Right Honourable ecclesias tical politician) sets aside, without argument, the views of those who consider the existing Church as having been founded by the Reformers of the six teenth century—receives an appropriate commentary in the resolutions at the great meeting in Exeter It neither belongs to Mr. Gladstone, nor any other ecclesiastical politician, by virtue of the mere idea which he and other High-Churchmen entertain of the original titles, and apostolic succession, of the Church—(which idea he rather cooly assumes as the one held by the " instructed members generally" of that Church)—it does not belong to such statesmen, to follow out the shadowy motives of polemLs in public action. Indeed, Mr. Gladstone has good reason to know this. Robespierre told the Jacobin Club he was obli4ed to come to them for consolation,.. and open his heart, eted by the want of civism of the Cenvention and a e :•n ß ittees. In like manner Mr. Gladstone rushes to ' tl 4 ,, from a Cabinet dead to his Churchism. Mr. Reviews would no longer know lie hi is mse li l k f, e if D i a t m w e ' rTer not for the Tri mestrials.

Take r x :.,•, choice, Mr. Gladstone. Either the " rival comm,:lnion" is not schismatical," or else your GovernOent — the Government graced with your all guaranteeing orthodoxy—is going out of its way to encourage schism, and help it to endowments ! But, ilia It:aqua:a tabs fides! While Mr. Gladstone, in one article of the Quarterly , is predicating " schism" of the " rival communion,"—Mr. Croker, in another article of the same Quarterly, after intimating, in no obscure terms, the policy of " a direct State provi sion for the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland," pro• ceeds to recommend to Lord Roden, and other such pillars of Mr. Gladstone's exclusive churchism, the extreme propriety of carrying out the Charitable Be 914uesta Act by endowin4 the rival Church themselves! TEE StI,N, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4 1845, We should like to know what extra amount of italics and CAPITALS, notes of interrogation ? exclamation! dashes —, and all else pertaining to the well-known war-establishment of type of the Quarterly, would, have been put in requisition, in the Melbourne era, if the following sentences had appeared in an organ of Whig opinions : --"The Roman Catholics of Ireland are rapidly growing in wealth and weight, though not in proportion to the growth of the poorer population. What, then, is more proper than that the rich should be permitted, if they please, to take upon themselves, to the relief of their poorer neighbours, a larger and more per manent share of the expenses of the due and decent celebration of their own rites, and the respectability of their pastor ? But it is not the affluent Roman Catholics only by whom this Act will be considered an indulgence; we trust that we shall see that the more considerable Protestant proprietors will come forward to avail themselves of this privilege— they will feel equally with the Roman Catholic the charitable impulse of increasing the comfort and independence of the priest, and of alle viating, it not of altogether saving, the burden of his maintenance to a population too poor in general to maintain itself." We have somewhat strayed from the reference, with which we set out, to the great meeting at Exeter. But the topics are most intimately connected. The more we see the Administration conceding to Roman Catholics—the more firmly we are called on, as Protestants, to make good our own position. Mr. Gladstone's recipe has been utterly discarded by the Government of which he is a member—the recipe, namely, pro pounded by him in his 'Church and State'—of up holding " truth" as truth—and discountenancing rival communions as schisms. It is now quite clear that truth, as truth, finds no more preference with this Administration than with those whom Mr. Glad stone and others denounced for their latitudina rianism. It remains therefore with this Pro- testant community to compel regard to their views of truth,—and no way of doing this can be more proper than that resolved by the Exeter meeting. Indeed their diocesan has, in some sense, the merit of having suggested the very course now adopted. The Bishop of Exeter has admitted the pro bable inconvenience of many directions of the rubric. But, instead of letting these quietly remain asleep, as for some two centuries past, he suddenly inculcates their disused observance—moved, in fact, by the new zeal of the restless tail of his junior clergy. But he has himself suggested that the same authority, which imposed these ritual matters, ma, abolish them. To that authority his laity appeal. They appeal to their representative in the Church—to that authority which—whatever may be held to make churches—can alone make, and keep, any church a public and privi leged establishment. They petition the Sovereign for the word " Forward !"—not for the mere sanc tion of the state quo. The clerical movers cry "Back ward !"—the laity—" Forward !" God help the right 1 THE GAME-LAWS. Whether the farmer will derive more advantage by the agitation against game being taken up by persons who are not game preservers, than if the landlords took up the question, we shall not at pre sent affirm nor deny. But we can safely say this, that many tenant farmers in all parts of England, who feel the game to be a serious grievance, and ho have also been afraid of the Anti-Corn-law League, are now much more friendly to the League, since some of its leading members have come for ward as " farmers' friends" upon the game question. We understand that Mr. Bright, taking advantage of the extensive agencies and ma chinery of the League, has recently sent a circular into every part of the kingdom, addressed to leading agriculturists, asking information as to the injury dont- to the crops by game. In a certain district in Hampshire, remarkable alike for the eertility of its soil and the abundance of its game, several farmers have been consulted as to the replies which should be made to the queries put to them, and they gave their answers thus : Question. " How many hares or rabbits are equal to the keep of a sheep ?" Answer. " Two—with what they eat and what they damage." Q. " What is the difference in value between a farm on which game is preserved and one where it is not?" A. " Twenty-five per cent." Q. " Do landlords generally make an allowance equal to the damage caused by game ?" A. " They do not." Q. "Is not game preserving very prejudicial to good farming and to the interest of the farmers ?" A. " It cannot be otherwise." Q. "Is it not injurious to the morals and character of the farm labourers ?" POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. James Lathbury, butcher, of Whitechapel, was summoned for having refused to pay two quarter's poors'-rate. The assessor appeared with his books to prove that the amount demanded upon the assessment of Mr. Lathbury's house at 951. per annum was due. The defendant admitted that he had objected to pay the sum demanded, but if he thought it was a just and legal claim, he would not for one moment have hesitated. The authorities, however, had thought proper to assess him a great deal more than his neighbours were assessed. The LORD MA roa—Who of your neighbours are assessed leis than you are ? The defendant mentioned a few names of which that of Mr. Smith, the eminent distiller, was une. It had, he said, been considered fair, for what reason he did not know, to assess the proprietor of the immense premises which cost 150,0001. or 160,000/., known as the Whitechapel distillery, at no more than 1,1001. a year, while he was assessed at 951. The LORD MAYOR—How much rent do you pay ? Defendant-1001. a year. The LORD MAYOR—You are only rated at 931., notwithstanding your own acknowledgment as to your liability to a higher rate. The defendant said he was a tenant-at-will, and that the rating had crept up year after year until it had reached its present amount. He had stated his objection, but the board, instead of taking it into consideration as he supposed they would have done, directed that he should he summoned before the Lord Mayor. For two years he had been subjected to what he considered, to be an unequal and unjust ex action. The Loan MAYOR—It is your own fault if you have paid what you considered to he an illegal claim, without inquiring into the matter. The defendant said his surveyor had assessed him at 521. a-year. The LORD MAYOR—How was that, when you say you pay 1001. a-year for your premises ? Defendant —I only paid GO/. a-year at that time. The LORD MAYOR then examined the parochial books, and said to the defendant, " I find that the 7th of December was the day of appeal. Now you have, by inattention to the subject, lost your appeal, so that, as far as the rates for which you have been sum moned are concerned, you will be obliged to pay. You ought to have known the process, for notices is regularly posted upon the church doors." The defendant —But, my Lord, I very seldom visit the church. The LORD MAYOR—Then, perhaps, you may put down this as one of the bad effects of not going to church. You must pay these two quarters, as it is too late for you to appeal ; but you can object to the dis charge of the next quarter's poor-rates, and I would have you do so for your own satisfaction. The defendant said that he should certainly act upon his Lordship's suggestion, and instantly pay the present demand. A. " Abundantly so." It is then remarked by those who make these re plies, that Mr. Bright should not have confined his inquiries to hares and rabbits. In one field, occu pied by a farmer on an estate covering six miles of country, the whole estate swarming with game, as many as two hundred pheasants have been counted this year on twelve acres of barley stubble. They had fed there during the ripening and harvest ing of the barley. Some of them were shot on the stubble; and one, we are informed by a Hampshire correspondent, which came into the possession of one of the farmers who signs the replies to Mr. Bright, was examined, and "contained in its crop 506 perfect barleycorns, exclusive of some corns half digested, which are all preserved and can be shown to any one." It is then shown that these barleycorns are equal to a gallon of barley each day for each hundred birds. In another field, of twenty-eight acres, on the same estate, but not let to a tenant, the enormous number of 1,200 pheasants has been seen at once. This field was sown with barley by the landlord for the use of the birds ; but they were not confined to it, nor to its locality. They invaded the farms. A farmer, writing some little time ago in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal, states that he has known up wards of eight hundred grains of sound wheat, be sides a mass partly digested, taken from the stomach of one pheasant shot in a field newly sown. He supposes that to be the food of the bird for one day, that the seed lies thirty days in the ground, and that therefore one pheasant extracts from the seed sown twenty-four thousand grains ! He asks what the loss must be where hundreds of pheasants flock into the fields, as is the case in his neighbourhood ? " It may be said," he observes, " that this calculation is too high. I think not. In the case mentioned everything was fair • the bird was shot by a game-preservin g nobleman, who gave it to a tenant on the spot, and he had the curiosity to examine it. Let those, however, who will not believe, obtain one and examine it ; and then put their calculation as low as possible, and it will prove high enough to show that instead of doing the farmer good, it inflicts on him an enormous injury." This Hampshire farmer alludes here to assertions some times made that the pheasants relieve the farmers of grubs and insects, and seldom injure their corn. We believe where they are preserved in such numbers they must destroy a very considerable quantity of corn. We understand that a farmer in that county, who has this year. steeped his seed wheat in a liquid prepared from vitriol, with a view to preventing a disease to which wheat is Liable in his district, has had the misfortune to poison some of his landlord's pheasants by so doing, and thereby get him self into serious trouble. This, at least, proves that pheasants pick up a farmer's seed wheat. Scarcely a spi ing or summer comes, but we hear of diseases in the wheat plant; and so loud, and apparently well founded, are the complaints, that we should think any WEST YORKSHIRE. remedy would be applied that might be proved We are authorised to contradict a rumour that George effectual, and any experiment encouraged which Hudson, Esq., has "backed out" of the West Yorkshire seemed reasonable.

His Lordship yesterday stated that he found, so far as he had been able to ascertain, that the poor woman's statement was unexaggerated, and that she was really an object of compassion. He then handed her a sovereign, which, he said, he had received for her, and desired her to leave her address with Mr. Goodman, and to call at the Mansion-house on Monday next. The appearance of the defendant was much altered for the better. A lad, named George Ford, was charged by Mr. Goidham, the clerk of Billingsgate-market, with having impeded the ticket-porters in their work in Bi llingsgate-market. Mr. Goldham said the defendant was a most annoy ing nuisance, for it was his practice to watch for and tempt the industrious boys who laboured in the fish market to gamble away their earnings. Of late the tossing, a game at which the defendant was the prin cipal player, had become a serious evil, and the ticket porters were greatly obstructed by the crowds of blackguards who attended to gamble. The defendant said he had only tossed like others. The LORD Mayort—l shall send you to hard labour in Bridewell for fourteen days ; and I think the knowledge of that, and the assurance from me that every one brought before me under such circum stances shall have similar punishment, will cure the evil. • RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

There has been a great degree of quietness in business for the last week, yet we have every reason to believe that the present year will progress with more advantage to the mercantile community than they have experienced for a considerable period. Prices of produce are low, and the means of the people are sufficient to warrant calculations founded on a very extended consumption of the great staple articles. Just now, we see no reason to fear any unnatural speculative investments in zoods, and as our present stocks, and the supplies we have in prospect, are generally adequate to the requirements of the trade, we may confidently expect a continu ance of moderate prices, which, it is to be hoped, will be further insured by a liberal policy on the part of the Government, when dealing with those great questions, which will occupy so much atten tion on the re-assembling of Parliament. The ac counts we receive from the manufacturing districts are very satisfactory, and both the manufacturer and the operative have every reason to be content with the present position of affairs, as contrasted with the state in which they were up to the beginning of last year. There liar been no excitement in the cotton market ; a moderate business has been got through, and I prices are not so firmly supported as they w, re a week ago. The American accounts have had no influence beyond, perhaps, inducing sales, on the ground that imports at present rates leave a handsome result. The rate of exchange continued high, and specie had been again shipping even from the southern markets. There is, however, no lack of money here, and just now we need not the dollars of our transatlantic , Teditors yet here again we refuse many of their commodities,' and with cotton and tobacco we are as well supplied as with money. We are yet anxiously waiting arrivals, kept back in the Channel by the un favourable weather of the past week, to the very serious loss and incoo venience of the owners both of ships and cargoes. In guano, of which we shall hive immediately heavy arrivals, there is little doing for consumpti on , an d a lth oug h t h ere i s no diffi cultyin selling at about 51. 10s. per ton, yet it seem-, as if the buyers were only speculating for a rise a 4 the season advances. The share market is very buoyant, and prices advance nearly every day, under the influence, as it wou ld seem, o f d eep specu l at i ve excitement; however, the proceedings of the railway branch of the Board of Trade have dealt a severe blow; which must have time to work before we can judge of the probable result. It is now too clear that many of the new schemes will be officially opposed in Parliament. —Liveypool Mercury. STATE Or THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The condition of the principal branch of the hosiery trade, namely, the manufacture of cotton hose by forming the articles of a continued thread, and shaping them by removing the loops, is still extremely dull, the hands in the surrounding manufacturing villages being put to great inconvenience in obtaining a scanty supply 4,f material, they having in many instances not more than half work. As a matter of course, this dearth of employment affects the general prosperity of the district, and many complaints are heard from the shopkeepers of want of business.—The cut-up cotton hose trade is much in the same situation.—The drawer branch, though not improved, is not considered worse, though the hands are very short of employment.—The cotton glove branch is rather dull, but not to the same extent as other branches.—There is no real improvement in any of the branches of the silk hosiery manufactures, notwithstanding many small floating orders, which ex cite hope;the forerunner of disappointment. —The bob bin-net lace trade continues very dull. Some few de scriptions of goods are in demand, but they are very limited in number. There has been a little excitement s o n ma king offeredlace w hisith respecting the new pate pe nt rs in o v n e o n f ti scolloped edges. A method to a portion of the machine owners, who have been for some time averse to taking licenses from patentees, concurring that all inventions oie.:ht to be thrown open to the public, for which they have given him 1001. His method, we understand, is to accumu late the warp threads one upon the other, an d to gather up the unemployed bobbin threads by the pearl thread, which is actuated upon by a worm and wheel, on the beans which draws the pearl thread the req u i re d tight ness to form the scollop. By this method, we are told, lie can only make the indentation from f our to s i x holes deep. He does not use extra point bars. Upon this latter fragile ground the subscribers hop e th e patent is evaded ; but the patentees claim the method of usin.; the whole number of threads, as in scolloped cushion laces, by whatever arrangement of machinery effected ; therefore the using of extra traversing point bars by the patent method is only a secondary claim. Several parties, aware of this, have already taken out licenses, for which the patentees charge 7s. 6d. per in. per an. _The warp lace trade is further improved,—Th e silk blond branch, which has suffered so much for a long period, has revived, and many frames are set on. The lap, press, an d tatting branch es are in a very , healthy state. dispute respecti ng th e warp jacquard patent, whichseemed likely to occupy our courts of justice, is amicably settled, by the manu facturers and frame-owners taking lic enses under 100 inches, at 35.; above 100 inches in width, at 3s. 6d. per inch. Frames being built after this time, abo‘ , 100 inches, are to pay 4s. per annum.—Arottingha, Review. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Although our market was by no means heavily sup plied with Beasts, we have to report a very inactive de mand for that description of stock, and Monday's reduced figures were with difficulty supported. There were on sale eight beasts and fourteen sheep from Holland, and 200 horned and polled Scots from Scotland. The num bers of sheep were small, yet the mutton trade ruled dull, at about stationary prices, at which a clearance was effected. Prime small Calves sold steadily, but other qualities met with a dull inquiry. In Pigs, rather more business was passing, but nu improvement took place in value.

SUGAR.-Firmness has characterised the West India Sugar market this week, the quantity on show ha,: bt•eo small, and the quality of the principal part itiitferent. To-day there was a good business transacted in West India Muscovado Sugar, but merchants were, in sonic instances, compelled t o accept rati. s rather under thoer previously quoted for brown and inferior yellow, but mid, good, and fine kinds, supported the form. r currency. 520 were disposed of, making the tool purchases 6,r the three market days 1,490 hhds and tierces . REFINED.-There has been much activity in the mar ket for Refined Goods since we last wrote, the home trade have been eager purchasers, and the Sugar houses are, for the most part, cleared. The consumption continues to be as large as evtr, and refined is still much cheaper, in comparison with good and fine yellow West India ; brown lumps have been selling at 72s Gd io 735, standard lumps 74s to 74s 6d, Tittlers ord to mid 73s to 74s 6d, good 75s to 76s 6d, fine and very fine 77s to 83s, Hambro' loaves 74s to 12a, double 83s to 90s. and wet lumps 70s to 71s per cwt. Bastards are plentiful ; fine selling at 48s to 545, good 43s to 475, mid 41s to 42e, and low 38s to 40s per cwt ; of the lower descriptions, the stock in particular is a heavy one. For Treacle there has been an immense demand ; boiled from West India Molasses fetching 21s to 225, patent 22s 6d to 23s 6d, and Golden Syrup 24s to 27s per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar a further advance has taken place in prices, 30s 6d to 31s per cwt having been paid, indeed, in some cases, orders have been refused. There has been a lively demand for Loaves, higher prices have been given, and they rule as follows :-Turkey, double refined 1 2} to 4lbs on board British ship 38s to 425, Hamburgh 6lbs 355, 9 to 10 lbs 33s 6d to 345, 13 to 14 lbs 82s, Tittlers 20 to 301bs 31s to 31s 6d, and Prussian 40 to 45 lbs 41s per cwt. Pieces are selling readily at 25s to 275, being higher. Bastards are in good demand at 20s to 21s for yellow, and 19s for brown. • For Treacle prices have risen from 12s 9d to 13s per cwt. The value of Dutch Crushed Sugar is 28s to 29s per cwt. MAURITIUS.-There has been a greater desire mani fested on the part of importers to realise, and a decline in prices has taken place of 2s to 3s for good and fine yellow, and Is to Is 6d for inferior, middling, and brown and grey descriptions; the supply has consisted chiefly of bright yellow qualities;. the demand, however, has been good, and 5,355 bags at public sale were all disposed of fine yellow at 60s to 63s 6d, good 57s 6d to 59s 6d, good mid 56s to 575, mid 54s to 55s 6d, low 52s 6d, low heavy 49s 6d, good brown 495, ord 425, fine grey 58s to 595, good 56s to 575, low to mid 528 6d to 555; and washed 535 to 60s per owt. The quality of the Mauritius Sugar is decidedly superior to that of the former season, and it is now cheaper than West India or Bengal. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 2,451 bags, were submitted to pub lic competition, and sold at full rates-good mid and good yellow at 51s 6d to 595, mid 54s to 575, low 52s to 53s 6d, good damp brown 455, mid 42s to 42s 6d, low 39s 6d, damp yellow 55s 6d to 575, good sound white 665, and damp and washed 60s 6d to 64s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-Today there was .more inquiry for Fo reign Sugar, and 1,400 chests of yellow Havunnah were sold privately at 2ls 6d to 23s for good to fine quality, being full rates. The market generally has a brisker ap pearance. C O FFEE. — lmporters of West India have shown firm ness, and none has been brought to public sale, but by private contract purchases to a fair extent have been made, and full rates are given ; the supply of middling and good descriptions is very small, but the stock of ordinary and good ordinary is large ; the low rates that prevail for, such 'cause merchants to supply the market sparingly, as there is a good consumption going on, and stocks in the dealers' hands are by no means large. For public competition 300 casks, the chief part Berbice, are declared ; the quality of this kind of Coffee is decidedly inferior to that of previous seasons. Although there is a large stock here of all sorts of Easr, India; still the leading importers are not inclined to press sales, which may be ascribed to the cheapness of all descriptions. With Ceylon the market has been sparingly supplied. and by private contract several purchases have been made in Plantation kinds upon former terms, and this is the cheapest kind of Coffee subject to the 4d per lb duty ; for good ordinary a fair demand has existed privately, and full rates are paid. Only 512 bags have been offered at public sale, good ordinary pale sold at 523 to 53s ; country damaged first class 51s, second ditto 50s 6d ' • pale broken 48s ; pea berry tit9s to 69 s 6d, an d country damaged, first class 65s per cwt. For public sale 1,500 bags nearly all plantation kind are declared. Holders of Mocha are still reluctant to reduce their prices.

GUANO A great t esny G uan ,, s hi ps h ave b een reported withte Llie. last few days. It is calculated that,. including those now discharging in different ports, and others on. their , vay hore from St. Helena, there are altogether 200 lades with this valuable manure. intended for the United King dom. Beside* these, we learn, by the latest account , irons Ichabile, that about 450 more were there, and a$ he other island* ; and that the facilities for obtaining cargoes were so much greater that twice the former nu , nber of ve. , s,els were enabled to load at one time.ln audition to the quantity expected to arrive, the stocks in this country have been accutnulating for several months, esp,cially in the out-ports. Under these circumstances, and with no immediate demand for eon,sumptidn, there is great difficulty in ob taining previous rates for floating cargoes. So large a supply affords, no doubt, a very pleasing pro:poet to the agriculturist, end it is gratifying to know that prevent prices are still very remunerative to the shipowner.
