(FROM THE MOANING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.—By the advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 10. and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 51, it follows that gold is 2.24 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 81 per mille, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 36 } , and the exchange at Paris on London at abort being 25. 25, it follows that geld is 0.46 par cent. dearer at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent. it follows, that the exchange is .07 per cent. against England. The Foreign Exchanges have again manifested a strong ten dency downwards this afternoon. There catt:be no doubt now that large supplies of corn will be procured from various parts of the Continent, contrary to a notion which seems to have prevailed extensively that such supplies were not to be had, against which either bills or gold must be remitted. At present little consequence seems to be attached at the Bank to this state of things, and indeed, to judge by the tone of those who receive cccasional hints from that quarter, to- be regarded rather with exultation than otherwise. There must be , ilv their opinion, a positive advantage to the Bank in turning some part of this " unproductive capital" to profit. This has al. was been the case heretofize until the drain had reached a certain extent, and then the correction of the " screw" rather roughly applied has informed the commercial world how mat. tees stood. The demand for shipping to bring home cargoes of grain is beyond all former precedent—at least, for a very great number of years. The exchange on Paris, short, was quoted to-day 25. 271 to 321; Hamburgh, 13. 81 ; and Am sterdam, short, 12. 2. By Command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary. PUBLICATIONS.

The Americans have, it is well known, for a long time past, been endavouring to put themselves forward as manufacturers of cotton fabrics, so as to create a market for the raw material within their own territory, rather than ship the whole of their crops, as they have hitherto done, to Europe. But the attempt does not seem to have been attended with much success. Vol. 11., half-bound, 11. Ils. 6d. SMITH'S STANDARD LIBRARY.

Mexico has, it appears, afforded till lately the best market for the American manufactured article ; the war between that country and France has, however, nearly put a stop to the trade. It is stated in a commercial print, published at Bos ton, that, in 1836, of the value of 1,950,000 dollars in plain goods exported from the United States, 789,000 dollars went to Mexico, while, in 1837, of that of 2,043,000 dollars, only 94,000 went to the same country. It is added, that, in 1136, the cost of the article shipped was extremely low, while, in the following year, the principal part was at the lowest point, being somewhat under the cost of production—a proof bow much the traffic was in terfered with by the blockade of the ports of Mexico. This impediment to the progress of the manufacturing prosperity of the United States has been aggravated by the blockade of the Argentine States, by the war between Chili and Peru, and the disturbances in Uraguay and Brazil, inasmuch as the effect of these hcstile proceedings has been not only to interrupt the transmission of fresh supplies, but what is still more material to curtail the means of paying for those already sent. This is shown by the fact that cottons were selling at Rio Janeiro at from twenty to forty per cent. less. From Chili and Peru the most unfavourable accounts had been received, and Buenos Ayres and Mexico are closed against all importa tions. In the Havannah things were ♦ery unpromising, as will be seen by the following report, which bears date November 24th, 1838 : Just published, No. 11., price ed., of THE LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL. Containing Sixteen closely printed Quarto Pages. The LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL , is ;intended to be a cheap Weekly Periodical, whose chief object is to aid in the Moral and Social Improvement of the bulk of the community. A regular demand now exists amongst a very large class for literary information, and " useful knowledge," which is, of course, supplied from various quarters; but there is no existing cheap Periodical which aims at occupying the peculiar ground open to the LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL. Without coming under the designation of what is usually under stood as a " religious" Periodical, it is intended that the Journal should have a distinctive Christian character ; that it should habi tually appeal to the religious feeling, as well as the understanding, of its readers ; and that both its information and its amusement should have a higher aim than passing gratification. By carefully avoiding a sectarian spirit, it is hoped that the Journal will be ac ceptable to all denominations; and by embracing the usual topics of a Literary Weekly Periodical, that it will obtain a wide range of usefulness, and have both power and opportunity to aid in promoting the social advancement of man.

" Our Deposit Stores are full of all kinds of goods, as many vessels loaded in England, France, Germany, and the Mediterranean, and elsewhere for Mexico, have, in conse quence of the blockade of the ports of that country, placed their cargoes in deposit. As regards American cotton sheet ings of the heavy kind, best suited to the export demand for Mexico, and which your people are most in the habit of sending here, there is a supply of 10,000 pieces in the market—with little or no hope of realising the cost, for reasons already stated—namely, the entire paralization of the Mexican trade." 13, Great Marlborough-street, Jan. 16.

Yet it is remarked that the American manufacturers ace relieved from their former excessive stocks by the great de mand for home consumption, aided by an extraordinary export demand for Asia, while, in consequence of partial suspension of manufacturing in 1837 and part of 1838, which was to an extent, perhaps, of one-fifth to one quarter in the cotton and woollen branches, the existing supplies of goods in first hands are smaller than they have been for many years ; and, what is deemed of equal importance, the jobbers and retailers, owing to the diminished capital and credit of some, and the prudent management of others, are almost entirely bare of those great staple fabrics of New England—cottons, woollens, and the various manufactures of leather. The American manufacturers are hoping to establish a steady and permanent market for their Cotton goods in India, the Straits, and China, and that the loss of trade experienced in other quarters may, through these channels, be fully compen• sated for. With reference to the experiments made by them in the last-named country, we find the following sttatement To China, till within two years, they have been sent in such small quantities as hardly to afford the people of that ex tremely populous country an opportunity of testing their quality, and of ascertaining, as they probably since have done, their superiority over all other similar fabrics. Our heavy plain brown goods are not only of firmer texture, of better material, and of greater weight (which is the most obvious sign of superiority in coarse goods), but they are actually lower in price than the articles made in England and sold in foreign markets in competition with them. For instance, a drilling which has been selling in this market at 10 cents, a yard, and a plain cloth of 37 inches, at 9i cents. each, weighing one-third of a pound, and made of an excellent material, could not be procured in Manchester two months since under sd. a yard, to which must be added the packing charges, equal to three per cent. and three per cent. more for interest and extra credit allowed here, and two-and-a-half for purchasing. If we are correct in this statement, a heavy plain cloth, like the goods we manufacture for Asia, can be shipped full ten per cent. lower than from Englard—while ours is in all respects superior to the British, and is so acknowledged in China, Manilla, in India, and in any other country where the two rival fabribs have been sold side by side. There is nearly the same difference in our favour in the somewhat lighter fabric of 3. to 4 yards the pound. It is said, however, that the late accounts from China, India, &c. do not show any profit on shipments of domestic cottons. This may be the ease, as it is known that the exports from England, during the non -exportation to this country, have been very large, but in countries whose whole population go clothed in cotton goods, nearly all the year, and where the consumption from the vast number of people, must be larger than in Europe or America, the prices of a leading staple cannot long continue below the CAPT.

Advices to the 10th of November have been received, but they do not possess the smallest interest. HERALD. —The commercial letters which have been re. ceived from New York to-day generally concur in stating that the commerce of the United States was rapidly improving. Money had become much easier, and, in consequence, the leading stocks were advancing in price, some of them even to the extent of 1 per cent. on the day of the sailing of the packet. United States Bank was 1231 a 124 ; New York City Bank Stock 1081 a 109; and Mississippi Planters' Bank ditto 100. The exchange on London was 9.,} ;on France, V. 20c. a Of. 221 c. ; on Holland, 402; on Hamburgh, 36i- a ; and on Bremen 80/. American old gold was 7 pm., and the new coinage pm. Sovereigns were 4 dol. 85c. each. The price of Treasury notes was but nominal. The Flour market at New York had been rather inac tive, but without alteration from the former prices. Cot ton staple s were rather higher in price, though they were more in demand for the home trade than for expor tation ; in fact it appears as if they were held for higher rates for exportation, which clearly arises out of the advances which have lately been made to the growers by the United States P•lnk, the Mississippi, and other powerful establishments, Ao, having secured the cotton for export, will hold it for the highest rates. The total imports of cottons into New York, from the south and south-west States, from the Ist to the 19th of December, was 14,451 bales, and the exports 4,795 bales. The exports from the United States since the Ist of October last were 64,056 bales ; same time last year, 126,515 ; and the same time the year previous 171,855 bales, showing a very serious falling off in the exports at the close of 1838, which is chiefly to be traced to the mode of calling up the produce by the advances of the banks, and thus preventing the needy planters shipping it, through small merchants or factors, for European ports, at low rates ; an operation by which British capital is thus indirectly applied to hypothecate the cotton and ether staples of the southern states of the federal union, with the view that they shall ultimately produce higher prices in the British or other European markets. It is understood that the Scotch factors have been very large speculators in corn, particularly wheat, for some time past, and to this circumstance some cf the late advances in price have been attributed. The heaviness which, however, prevailed in our corn market within this past week, though it has not materially reduced the prices, has rather checked speculation; in fact the orders which have been sent out to foreign ports for wheat have been so extensive that no other result could scarcely have been anticipated. Three cargoes of flour, amounting to about 9,000 barrels, have arrived from New York for our markets, which will be entered at the low duty, and most probably aid the heaviness which has just commenced in the Corn market, although the speculation will amply pay the importers. It is fully anticipated that these will, for some time yet, have a decided tendency to maintain the Continental exchanges at rates unfavourable to this country. Money still continues more plentiful than bills; therefore the transactions have not been very extensive in the exchanges to-day. Per Quarter. Boston Gainsborough Grantham GrimsbY Horncastle Lincoln Spalding Stamford York PRICE sd. consumption for the week ending Jan. 12th, 1839, are 175,905 lbs of East India, and 189,312 lbs of West India. COCOA.—British Plantation has been taken more freely ; several parcels have been disposed of by private contract, and SO bags Trinidad, at public sale, sold at Is to 2s dearer. The total deliveries of Cocoa from the warehouses for home use for the week ending Jan. 12, 1839, are 31,4751b5. TEA.—Prices have undergone no further depression since last Tuesday; but the merchants having generally submitted to the reduced rates established on that day, which were li-d a 20 per lb under those of the last quarterly sale, has occa sioned a very brisk demand, the trade hare purchased freely, particularly of the common and mid description of Congou and Twankay, of w hi c h th ey h ave ta k en l arge parce l s at prices varying from is 2d a is 4d. Capitalists have also been tempted to come forward by the present low rates, and they have made large purchases in Twankay, Hyson, and the lower descriptions of Congou, and in other useful Tea; some of the importers are not inclined to accept the present low and unremunerating prices, and have withdrawn and bought in large parcels of Hyson and Congou, in expectation that prices will ere long rally, the consumption going on being very extensive. The prices obtained since our report of this day week are as follows : Congou inferior coarse and new is o,id a is lid, but mid little coarse and new Is 2d a is 24d, but mid rather strong blackish leaf Is 31d a Is 4d, preferable to mid blackish leaf Is 3i-d a is 4id, mid rather strong old blackish leaf is 44d a is 6d, strong up to 2z 4 d; Bohea Canton mid is 2d ais 24d, good mid is 34d ais ; Twankay but mid rather coarse Is 31d a is 4d, Ord and rather coarse Is 2W a is 3_;d; Hyson skin but mid rather coarse Is Id to Is 2d ; Hyson but mid rather fresh and rather strong Is 10d to 2s 2d ; Young Ilyson but mid rather strong Is 9d to Is 114,1 ; Gunpowder but mid and rather fresh 2s 91d to 3s 11d, preferable to mid 3s 4d 0 3s 7d, rather fresh and strong 4s 3d to 4s 4Z 1, imperiad good mid Hyson flavour 3s 41c1 to 3s sd, but mid 2s Sid to 3s lid, little coarse 2s 5d to 2s 51d ; Caper ord to goo d or d a Is, but mid Is 41,d ais sid ; Pekoe good mid good 3s 24d a 4s 61d; Orange ditto but mid Is 9d a 2s 343; Campoi but mid rather fresh and strong is 21; Hung Muey but mid rather strong little coarse Is a is Old, better is 5d a is 71d; 8 chests Assam, in fancy pack ages, the first imported, brought the following high rates : Souchong first quality 21s, second 20s, third 16s; Pekoe, I second quality, 241 6d a 28s 6d, third 34s per lb. This afternoon the market presented a firmer appearance; the trade came forward freely at the public sale, and the de. mand, particularly for Congou and Twankay, was very good, and higher prices by Id a 2d were obtained, Hyson ord ish leaf selling at Is 93; very ord Congou Is lid, but mid rather new Is 2d a is 21d ; several large parcels were withdrawn, pro; rietors refusing to sell at the present prices ; for exporta tion purchases have been made in common black Tea at is per lb. The total quantity passed the sale is 82,000 pkgs, of which 38,000 have found buyers. The total deliveries of Tea from the warehouses for home consumption for the week, ending Jan. 12th, 1839, are 390,9251b5. RlCE.—This afternoon there was a better demand for E 1., and 1,194 bags Bengal at public sale sold readily at prices 6d above those paid of late by private contract, good mid white brought 20s to 20s 6d per cwt. SPICES.— Pepper is held firmly, but there has been less de mand ; at the public sale 1,571 bags only partly found buyers, Penang unsifted stalky at 4d, and 4d a 4fd for common greyish Ceylon. Pimento has been more sought after ; Sid has been paid for middling. This afternoon 174 boxes Cassia Lignea and 900 bags Ben gal Ginger were offered at auction, the former sold at firm prices, good fair thin at 61s a 61s 63; the latter brought 21s a 21s 6d for good bold. Rum, BRANDY, AND TIOLLANDS.—RUM has been in fair de mand principally for home consumption, and very full prices have been obtained for both Jamaica and Leewards. The quantity offering for sale is still small ; the transactions in the former have been 150 puns, 29 to 34 per cent over proof at 5s a 5s 2d ; of the latter 200 puns have been sold, 31 to 33 per cent over proof at ss. Brandy continues to be taken very sparingly, and there are sellers of parcels on rather easier terms. Geneva has been in steady request at late rates. OiLs.--The transactions in common Fish Oils have been limited, and rather lower prices have been accepted for Seal and Cod ; small sales in the former have been made at 151 10s to 311/, and in the latter at 321 a 321 lOs ; at auction 150 tuns good Southern sold at 281 per tun, which is also rather cheaper. The stock of Sperm being light buyers have been com pelled to pay the late advanced rates for small quantities. The demand for Linseed on the spot and for delivery has be come limited, the price has fallen to 295. In Rape the opera tions have been only to a limited extent, but the supply being ~hnrott f SMA r at a i6filleP.kin Qiiy.s.h.nequed TALLOW.—Th e market last week was in a dull state, and on Thursday prices gave way to 56s 6d a 56s 9d for P Y Con the spot of first quality, but during the last few days buyers have come forward more freely, and prices have advanced to 57s 9d a 58s ; the town and country trade however purchase only sufficient to supply their immediate wants, having no confidence in the present rates; the deliveries continue small. At public sale 293 casks, imported from Havre, principally Odessa and Soap Tallow, sold at 54s 6d a 54s 9d. For deli very in the three last months buyers are reluctant to purchase, and there are sellers at 525. For Town Tallow the demand continues limited, and the supply is large. SALTPETRE.—A good demand has prevailed for rough by private contract for home consumption as well as for expor tation, and a further advance of 6d has been obtained ; for fine Calcutta 29s a 292 6d, and for common and other quali: lies 28s a 28s 6d have been paid. British Refined has secured a fair sale at the improved rates, 33s 6d a 34s per cwt. INDIGO, FIRST DAY.—Previous to the opening of the sale 202 chests, which were sold some time ago by private contract, were withdrawn. 774 chests have passed the sale this day. Proprietors of the first marks appeared unwilling to sell nnder Is. Gd per lb advance on the last sale, at this rate they sold about one half; as the sale proceeded buyers came for ward more freely when they saw a disposition on the part of proprietors to meet them, and biddings became animated at the following rates, as compared with October:—good and fine shipping qualities and mid shipping to fine consumers Is 3d to Is Gd advance, ord and low consumers Is a Is 3d advance, .... Oudes chiefly bought in at_ Is advance. 205 chests are bought in by the proprietors. The total deliveries of Indigo for home consumption from the warehouses for the week ending Jan. 12, 1839, were 82,984 lbs of East India, and 300 lbs of Spanish. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. Wheat. Barley.

Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held for the despattgn of business. Alderman HARMER presented a petition from a poor man named Williams, who prosecuted the dwarf called Hervio Nano (Harvey Leach) for a most desperate assault at the last London Sessions. The petition stated that the defendant was convicted of the assault, and was fined 20/., with permission to speak to the prosecutor, and upon the understanding that if the defendant gave 10/. to the prosecutor the penalty would be remitted; that the defendant refused to give any remu neration to the prosecutor, and paid the penalty of 20/. ; that the prosecutor, having sustained considerable injury from the assault, and having lost the situation which he possessed at the time, threw himself upon the humane consideration of the Court, and begged, that as they considered the case an aggravated one, and recommended a course which was calcu lated to make some amends. but which was rejected, and as the prosecutor had been put to expense, they would make an order for the payment of such part of the penalty to him as they might think fit. _. .. .... There was a strong feeling in the Court that the prayer of the petition should be complied with. The RECORDER said that there was a fund out of which the Corporation could make remuneration to the poor man. Alderman HARMER said that the object of the Court at the time of the trial was to obtain some remuneration for the in jury inflicted by the defendant, and as the sum they considered the prosecutor entitled to was 101., he moved that that amount be handed over to Hear, hear.) Alderman LAINSON seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, an,: gave a great deal of satisfaction. The bad feeling of the defendant has thus been completely disappointed, for lie calculated that by paying 201. he would have prevented the injured man from receiving a farthing. The COURT was occupied during the day in matters of no public interest. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, .I.ly. 15. WYNNIAT V. LINDEN. This was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls. A vendee had refused to complete his purchase on the ground that the estate was not free from payment on account of tithe, al though sold as such. The Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the estate was free, it being clearly established that the incumbent of the parish had h e ld a certain piece of land for more than sixty years, as composition real, for his tithes on the land in question. The LORD CHANCELLOR concurred in the opinion expressed by the Court below, that the composition had been made out for the last sixty years, and that the purchaser must complete his purchase. AN.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the New London Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR. --There has been an increased disposition evinced on the part of the buyers to purchase West India Muscova does ; from the grocers a brisk demand has been experienced, particularly for the lower descriptions; the refiners have purchased to a fair extent, and several parcels have been tiken on speculation ; importers have obtained an advance on pre vious rates of ls ; 2,200 hhds have been disposed of by pri vate contract, Grenada fine mid selling at 655, rather inferior 645, mid from various other colonies 60s to 635, very brown Berbice 55s 6d, and very little better Jamaica 575, besides which 111 hhds 18 trs Barbadoes have been offered at auc tion, rather an inferior parcel, which sold readily at prices rather above those of the former sale, and brought 62s 6d to 66s 6d for low mid and good quality; the deliveries have again been pretty good, exceeding those of the corresponding period of last year; the comparative stocks have further decreased. This afternoon importers required prices fully equal to those of Friday, but buyers evinced less inclination to do business, and the demand was limited from grocers as well as refiners, the private purchases amounting to only 300 hhds and trs ; no auction of Barbadoes. The stock of West India Sugar is now 25,541 hhds and trs, z.93t rnoro than ,e ktauritiuis now 46.52 U bags , winch is 17,262 m ore th an l as t year. ihe delivery of West India last week was 1,958 hhds and trs, which is 884 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 3,516 bags, being 1,109 more than the corresponding week of last year. The Gazette average price is now 35s 7id, against 40s 6d, in 1837, and 36s 4id in 1836. REFINED —From the grocers there has been a good de mand for all descriptions of goods, and rather higher prices have again been obtained ; large parcels of Lumps have been disposed of, those equal to the standard 755 6d a 765, rather under 73s a 74s 6d, common 725, and there is nothing to be purchased under the latter price. For exportation there is no demand at the present high rates, double crushed is not to be bought under 435, whilst there are no buyers within 6s of that figure. Pieces have been taken freely for home use, and prices have improved Is. For Bastards a good demand has prevailed, and improved rates have been obtained, the lowest point of the market for brown is 44s per cwt. Treacle has maintained its former currency, and a little sale has been experienced for common, as well as for patent and the best old make. Dutch Crushed Sugar is in better de mand ; 500 hhds have been sold at 32s a 32s 6d. Monst rms.— A better demand has been experienced for brown as well as for yellow descriptions ; the grocers have been the principal operators, and prices Is above those of this day week have been obtained: at public sale 4,300 bags sold readily, good bright yellow at 62s 6d to 645, good middling 59s to 60s, low middling and middling 57s 6d to 58s6d ; 400 bags of the above consisted of the new crop, and sold at 61s 6d to 62s 61 for good middling yellow, and 57s for low middling ; there has again been a small arrival. This afternoon there was less demand, but full prices were obtained. At public sale 4,769 bags were offered, several lots were taken in, the remainder sold as follows—fine yellow at 655, good 64s a 64s 6d, good mid 61s 6d a 62s 6d, good mid to good grey 59s a 625, fine greyish brown 57s 6d a 58s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—The grocers have purchased more freely of Bengal, particularly of the lower descriptions, paying an advance on former rates of Is; at auction 3,528 bags sold with animation, middling to good middling white at 65. 6d a 66s 6d, good to fine 67s a 70s, mid brown 555, and damps 53s a 54s 6d. Manilla is held for previous rates, but there has been less demand from the Scotch Refiners. For ex . portation there are no orders ; the private purchases have been confined to 1,500 bags ord yellow at 235. The demand for Siam continuing very limited, importers have at length been compelled to submit to a reduction on the late nominal prices of is to effect sales; at auction 2,650 bags sold heavily, good white at 28s 6d, fine 30s, ord and mid 26s 6d a 27s 6d, fine yellow of 3,117 bags 220 Th 2 isafter t o 6 n d, t d h a e m p p u s bi 2 ic 4s s : le 2 s B s. consisted casks Bengal, 800 bags Siam, and 392 bags of Bourbon ; the Bengal went off with less spirit, and prices gave way 6d to is, but they were all sold, good and fine at 67s to 695, mid to good brown 51s 6d to 575; the Siam and Bourbon sold at the valuations, the former good white at 29s 6d, low and mid 25s Gd a 275, damp 24s 6d a 275, very damp 19s Gd a 235, washed 22s 6d • the latter brought 23s 6d for good soft grey, and 22s a 23s for washed. _ _ FOREIGN. —The proprietors of White Havannah and Brazil are not inclined to submit to lower prices, although there are very few buyers, as is in general the case at this period of the year. Yellow Havannah is wanted for near ports, and full prices would be paid, but the short supply limits business ; at public sale 224 boxes sold at 27s 6d for low mid., 28s 6d for mid., and 293 for good strong quality. MOLASSES. —Fur West India the demand has been only for small parcels, but the supply continuing short buyers have been compelled to pay full prices; fine Antigua, 325. The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the ware houses for home use for the week ending Jan. 12, 1839, were 1,050 cwt. COFFEE.—The grocers have purchased sparingly of the clean descriptions of British Plantation, and in some instances rather lower rates have been accepted ; in unclean sorts the operations have been very trivial, and prices have given way Is 6d a 2s; 320 casks, 166 brls and bags have been offered at smallini c part e a onlyfine of ord and l ow m id 101 s a white found buyers ; Ja maica publicnd o m i d at 107snl13s, good to fine fine ord 9756 d low mid and mid a 1 o 6 sale, a 106 s; 104 s ; Berbice low mid and mid 104 s 6d a Ills ; Demerara unclean good and fine ord was taken in at 85s a 91s 6d, and good and fine ord Jamaica at 923 a 104 s. For East India de scriptions there has also been less demand ; of Ceylon there have been no auctions, but as there is little or none at present remaining in the hands of the importers, full prices for small parcels by private contract were obtained in the middle part of last week, viz., 975 6d to 983 for superior good ord, but during the last few days there has been nothing done ; 961 bags Mysore at public sale were bought in from 77s to 79s 6d, and 99 bales cleanly garbled Mocha, for which 92s 6d was bid, were held at 935. From the Cape of Good Hope 1,111 bags and 626 barrels have been brought forward at the 9d duty : of these about 600 bags appeared to be Batavia, and the re mainder were Brazil; the former sold rather cheap as compared with Ceylon; viz., 68s to 69s for bold palish yellow fine ord; against the Brazil there exists a great dislike in the trade, and only three lots were sold in the sale of very bright ord quality . at 68s to 68s 6d, the remainder was taken in from 50s to 6es. In the Foreign Market there has been increased inactivity ; in Brazil and St. Domingo we have no transactions to report by private contract, and none has been offered at auction ; there are sellers of ord descriptions of the former at rather lower prices. This afternoon the only public sale was 44 - 0 bags good brown Sumatra subject to the 9d duty, which is taken in at 47s per cwt.

The Case was opened before the holidays, and again partly argued yesterday. Mr. \VIGRA/4 and Mr. BOOTH were to-day heard on the part of the defendant.

Mr. KINDERSLET appeared in this case in behalf of the trus tees, and Dr. Arnold against the petition. He contended that the Court had no jurisdiction under the Act of Parlia ment to make the order now prayed for. The trustees had done everything in their power to promote the interests of the charity, and he was glad that no imputation had been cast upon their conduct. He submitted that the petition must be discharged. His Lordship, the Mssrzit of the ROLLS, had read the affi davits, but he would look at them again before giving his deci. sion. The principle of the Court in these cases was, that if a benefit were given to strangers, that a greater benefit still should be given to the objects of the charity. BAIL COURT, .141 r. 14. THE QUEEN V. HARVEY. Sir W. For,Larr moved for a quo warranto against Mr. Harvey, to show by what authority he exercises the office of Town Councillor of the Borough of Liverpool. The ques tion turned on the construction of some of the clauses in the Municipal Act, and the Acts pessed to amend it. The l Sth and 4sd sections o f the sth and 6th Wm. 4, c. 16, provided for the revision of the lists by the Mayor and Assessors. The 15th section of the Ist Victoria, provided that no burgess should be eligible to be elected to the office of councillor while holding the office of assessor. Mr. Harvey was elected asses sor, and some persons applied to him to stand for the office of councillor. The consequence of which was, that he offered himself as a candidate for the ward of which he was the as sessor. After the publication of this address he revised the constituency of the ward as assessor, and, previous to his elec tion, resigned the office of assessor. Under one of the clauses of the let Victoria, he claimed a right to resign his office, and did so; and, having sent in his resignation, was elected councillor. He ( Sir W. Follett) submitted that this was a egg 4s 410 .P f,tdw.hrkc.ctep 814 apsuirkg.be.4- t4„th ? „Eawefjp re power to resign was in the 6th and 7th Willi am ,an;; office which he held was regulated by the Isl. which pointed out the mode of election, and directed that the person holding it should not be eligible to the office of Councillor at all. He submitted that it never could be the intention of the Lc'gislature that a party should revise his own electors, and then, having done so, formally resign his office. Mr. Justice PATTESON inquired if merely sending in the re signation, and offering to pay the fine, was sufficient to put him out of office without any acceptance? Sir W. FOLLETT apprehended not,. It did not appear on the affidavit how the fact was; but it was not unlikely it should be accepted, as they were of the same party. Mr. Justice PArrasoN—Take a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, J. 15. DB PINNA V. CARROL, KNIGHT, AND MONTEPIORIS, KNIGHT, This was an action against the Sheriffs of London for a false return of nalla bona, which was tried in London at the sittings after last Term, when a verdict passed for the plaintiff. It appeared that a writ of fieri facias had been issued at the suit of the plaintiff against Captain Polhill. The plaintiff now complained of the return to that execution, and in support of his case proved that Captain Polhill had been part proprie tor of the Age newspaper. The answer on the part of the defendant was, that Captain Polhill had transferred his share in the Age to Mr. Friswell, his attorney; but it appeared that Captain Polhill had received after that assignment either the whole or a part of the dividends which became due ; and upon that circumstance the defendants relied in support of their case that this was a colourable transfer. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD to-day moved for a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The COURT granted a rule to show came. POLICE INTELLI GENCE. Q UEEN- S Q UA RE. On Monday Maria Owen, a young woman well-known to the police as an utterer of base coin, was placed at the bar, charged with attempting to pass a counterfeit half-crown. The NIAGISTRATES deeming tl e evidence insufficient in this and another charge preferred against her, discharged the prisoner. UNION-HALL. Yesterday the wife — Of a man named Gould, who bad de serted her, came before the Magistrates for their advice and assistance. Mr. JEREMY regretted that he could render the applicant no further assistance in the unfortunate affair than advising her to make known the circumstances of her husband's disap pearance at the different station houses in the district, which, together with the probability of some notice being taken of her application in the newspapers, might lead to a discover/ of what had really become of her husband. The applicant, having thanked the Magistrate for his advice, then withdrew. On Monday morning, a little before nine o'clock, a very fine young woman, respectably dressed, apparently of the age of 19, was observed walking to and from the banks of the Serpentine, seemingly in a very dejected mood. Soon afterwards she was seen by the sentinel on duty at the Ma gazine in the Park, advancing towards the bridge near Kensington-gardens, the eastern parapet of which she hastily ascended, and immediately plunged into the Serpen tine. An alarm was given, and men belonging to the Royal Humane Society hastened to the place with drags, but did not succeed in finding the hod? for half an hour. Endeavours were then made to restore animation, but without success, and the body was conveyed to the Half way House, Kensington.road. The deceased was dressed in a black silk gown, a dark figured shawl, and wore a white straw-bonnet, lined and trimmed with puce-coloured silk and ribbons. Nothing was found upon her person that could afford a clue to her identity. THE FOREST AND PRAIRIE.—If there be any men whose lives present more striking scenes of adven ture, hardship, stubborn endurance, and imminent peril, than those of the Red Indians of North America, they will be found among the backwoodsmen, and other settlers in the Far West, whose encroachments are gradually an hihilating the aboriginal tribes. The white hunters, trap pers, and squatters, in their daring expeditions are perpe tually surrounded by danger in every form. Exposed to hostile surprises, desperate e ncounters, and withering pri vations, their career furnishes the rarest elements for ro mantic narrative, such as Mr. Hoffman in his new work " Wild Scenes in the Forest and Prairie," has provided for the wonder and gratification of his readers. The scenery, too, which forms the back-ground of the story, enhance* by reason of its vastness, and its wild and strange charac ter, the attraction inherent in the mysterious incidents arising in almost every page of this singular work, rocky glens, treacherous morasses, enormous lakes, thundering waterfalls, mighty rivers, huge and tangled forests, and prairies as solitary and seemingly interminable as the great African deserts, are fitting localities on the one hand for the prowling savages who steal, like midnight ghosts, on the frail cottages of the white settler ; and on the other for the daring expeditions of the half civilized hunter or fores ter. It has seldom, indeed, been our lot to peruse a work of more varied and absorbing interest than that now beinre us.--,, Naval and Military Gaztfr. Elb Lo •8..(6 .8, re. .S.
