Since the sales the demand has bees very limited for inferior sorts of Congou, and rather lower rates have been accepted, common selling at 9d to 10d, and good common 1014 to lld per lb, cash; but in the better kinds a large amount of business has been transacted at firm rates; in deed of fine Congou there is not sufficient at market to sa tisfy the demand. Twanka,y of ord quality is cheaper; sales of yellow leaf made at is Id to is 2d per lb, but the better sorts are wanted, at is 3d to Is Bd, and Hyson kind is 9d to 2s sd. Hyson, 2s 5 5 d to 2s 9d for middling, and 2s 10d to 3s 9d for better qua lity. Gunpowder at 3s to 4s Gd for middling to fine : in Imperials there has not been much doing. Scented Orange Pekoe at 35 4d to 3s 5d ; in plain Orange not much has been done. Pouchong has met with a brisker sale, but not better prices ; 5d to 9d are the cur rent rates paid. For Souchong there has decidedly beers a better demand at former rates. The low prices that prevail for Caper have caused buyers to operate more freely. Young Hyson is not much in request, and prices rule high. SPICES.—This afternoon at public sale 100 bags of Pimento were taken in at 4d per lb, being above their value. 29 bags of white Pepper at 5d for middling. 609 bags Malabar Ginger partly sold at 36s to 44s 6d for rather small, being cheaper. SAGO.—The demand is on the increase, and prices are looking up ; holders show fimness, and none has been offered at public sale ; the stock is reduced to a small ebb ; common pearl has been selling at 14s to 15s, middling 16s to 18. good 19e to 21s, and fine 22s to 24s per cwt. Sago Flour at IBs to 19s per cwt. 01 Tapioca the supply still exceeds the demand; 133 bagi of Rio at public sale were nearly all taken in at 4id tall 5d per lb. For Arrowroot prices are kept low by the large stock. RUM, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.—There has been e falling off in the demand for Jamaica Rum this week a only a limited business has been transacted, but merchants are firm, and have obtained former rates for all descrip. tions. There is not a large quantity on offer ; 80 prise have been sold at 4s to 4s 2d for fair quality, 30 to 33 per cent. over proof. For Leewards the demand had been brisker, and prices are firmer ; 250 puns sold all 2s 4d to 2s 5d proof strength. Demerara 3s 3d tat 3s 6d paid for strong qualities. Calcutta Rum has beenl much inquired for, and full rates offered. The arrivals of all sorts of Rum have been small this week, whereas the deliveries from the warehouses are large. The; market is firm for Brandy. Cognac, best brands of thn vintage of 1838, hhds 5s Id, puns Is lld ; 1539, bhdEll 4s I Id, puns 4s 8d ; 1840, hhds 4s 10d, puns 49 8d ; 1841, hhds 4s 9d, puns 4s 7d ; 1842, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, low 3s to 3s 6d, and middling 3s 4d to 3s 10d. Geneva has been taken sparingly ; export sort at is 9d to Is 10d, and fine for duty 2s 6d to 3s 6d. Prices are still supported for English Corn Spirits. SEEDS.—This afternoon 1,151 bags East India Lin seed at public sale were sold at 43s for good clean; 410 quarters of East India Rape 'Seed to en in at 43s per quarter. RlCE.—This afternoon the market was better supplied with East India Rice; at public sale 1,136 pockets 1,320 bags of Bengal were offered and all sold at full rates, middling white at lls to lls Gd, good middling lls Gd to 12s, sea damaged first class lOs to I Is, second ditto 10s, third ditto 7s to 8s 6d, and fourth ditto 7s ; 4,525 bags of other sorts were disposed of. Madras small dusty white 9s 6d to 10s, middling broken white lOs to lOs Gd, low middling white Os 6d to 10s, sea damaged 7s to 9s, middling bold yellow 8s to 8s 6d, good 8s 6d to 9s, and sea damaged ss. Bombay good middling old dusty white Ils to lls 6d, sea damaged 9s to 10s; being 3d to 6d cheaper for the Madras, but full rates for all other sorts. FRUlT.—Thera has been an extensive demand for New Valentia Raisins this week, and the market has been cleared at 50s. per cwt. Old Red Smyrna at 40s, old Muscatels at 44s to 60s, New at 60s to 110 s. New Lexia Raisins at 38s. The demand has considerably increased for Currants. Zante and Cephalonia Old at 39s to 41s, New Zante 475, Patras Old 425, and New 46s to 50s. Figs are in increased demand. New Turkey Pulled at 70s to 80s. Sultanas are much wanted in consequence of the scarcity and high price of New Valentia Raisins. In other sorts of Fruit the transac tions are upon a more extended scale. SALTPETRE.—This afternoon an increased desire was shown to purchase Rough, and 876 bags Calcutta a pub lic sale were readily sold at stiff rates, 7: 4 1 per cent. re fraction, middling grey went at 25s 6d to 265, 103- per cent. ordinary 24s 6d to 255, 14 per cent ditto 24s to 24s 6d, not refracted 255, and washed 21s 6d to 22s 6d per cwt. The market has a firm appearance. INDlGo.—Since the conclusion of the quarterly sale of East India there has been only a limited demand for home consumption or shipping, but merchants are not inclined to further give way in prices, and few parcels are offering for sale. In Spanish little business has been transacted, and parcels could only be disposed of upon lower terms. In Germany and Russian the consump tion has been unusually large this season, and is likely to continue on account of the low rates which prevail. COCHINEAL.—A further decline of prices of Id per lb has taken place in Cochineal ; of 112 bags offered at public sale two thirds found purchasers—Honduras low to good silvers at 4s 2d to 4s 6d, good black 5s 7d, and Mexican manufactured black 4s 5d to 4s 6d ; 11 bags Garblings fetched Is 6d to is 10d per lb.

OlLS.—There has been more inclination to purchase Linseed Oil this week, but prices have been prevented from advancing owing to the large supply ; a fair busi ness has been transacted on the spot at 23s 9d to 24s per cwt, and for delivery some contracts have been entered into ; if it were not for the high rates the crushers are getting for cakes, they could not afford to sell Oil at the present low prices—it is cheaper than has been the case for several years. For Rape the de mand has fallen off, and prices are not so firm. Pale at 35s 6d to 365, and brown 34s 6d to 355. Palm has been sold at 25s to 27s for fine quality, and holders show firmness. Cocoa Nut Oil at 28s to 30s. In Olive there was little business dune, but in prices no alteration has taken place. Pale Seal has been selling at 351 to 351105, and Cod 331 to 331 5s per tun.

The first revision, in the year 1833, cost upwards of 30,0001 . in payments to the barristers and for their expenses ; but under the Registration of Voters Act their charges were limited to 200 guineas . each. It appears that the payment to the barristers, including their expenses, now amounts to the fixed yearly sum of 14,700/. More appeals are NC. peetcd to the Cuurt of Common Pleas in the present than occurred in the preceding revision. Only thirteen appeals were made last year, of which ten were decided in favour of the respondents, and three for the appellants. The Court awarded no costs to either party, on the ground that the subject matter of the appeals resented a fair and reasonable ground of doubt on the construc tion of the statute and the propriety of the determination of the revising barristers.

The following are the resolutions passed at a General Meeting of the Provisional Committee, held at the office, on the 23d of October instant, relative to the negotiations which have been for some time carried on with the South-Western Company : It was resolved—" That the proposals now made by the South- Western Company are, in the opinion of this meeting, equitable and advantageous to the interests of this Company, and that the same be approved and adopted by this Committee." Sir W. CLAY having left the Chair, It was resolved unanimously—" That the thanks of this meet. ing be given to Sir W. Clay for his kind services in the chair at the meetings of this Committee." W. CHADWICK, Esq., having been called to the Chair, The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:— " That it be referred to the Sub,Committee to carry into effect the present agreement with the South-Western Company as soon as possible." " That the best thanks of this Committee are due to W.

" • • I am directed by the Committee, in answer to many inquiries, and for the information of the Shareholders, to state that the ques tion of junction with the South-Western Railway has been settled by the vote of the Committee of Wednesday last; that notwithstand ing the extraordinary means used to sever this undertaking from any connexion with the South-Western line, the result of the meeting was 9 to 1 in favour of the views of the Committee, viz., a junction with the South-Western Railway, being in proportion to the shares held by the respective parties as 50 to 1. The Com mittee have likewise to state that means have been taken to ascer tain the opinion of the Proprietors, and the result is, that the Sub scribers at Leeds, Manchester, and the north, are unanimous in supporting the Committee, and almost the whole having been seen or communicated with, they are able to state their belief that upon the question of junction or no junction with the South-Western, Sir William Clay, Sir George Larpent, and Mr. James Clay, stand alone in the views they have taken against the whole of the Sub scribers. The Committee refrain from making any observations, but satisfy themselves with laying before their Shareholders and the public the facts of the case.

Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming ham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir. mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif ficulties. Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits. A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Company; and the remainder will be alloted to parties having local interests , and other applicants. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half yearly on the Deposits awl Calls, from the time of payment.

Granting that it be so, the remedy, in our opinion, is not to multiply our Parliamentary machinery under the idea that this ad verse influence may be evaded, but to change it by operating upon its ultimate source—the sense of the people of both countries. To evade it we must con trive so to nullify the representation principle as to give sway to a minority in the national councils—a task which, in the present state of things, seems rather hope less. We may divide and sub-divide till we find a fit assembly for making precisely the laws we want; but to obtain an effective sanction for them we must come back, sooner or later, to the central authority, and must encounter on the way all the difficulties we have sought to avoid. We come, therefore, unavoidably to the conclusion, that the Parliament in College green would find it impossible to legislate in opposi tion to that at Westminster, and preserve its alle giance to the same Sovereign. But happily the experiment is as unnecessary as it would be dan gerous. To obtain justice for Ireland is not an im possibility, though to obtain it by this particular method looks so very like one. STANDARD.—In England, says the Univers, there prevails (who would have thought it ?) " a popular irritation against France." We certainly, up to this moment, have remained in happy igno rance of this irritation, nay, we have flattered our selves with the conviction that the utter failure of the organs of the ousted Whigs to magnify the Ota heite affair and the war in Morocco into occasions of offence, is the best possible proof that in England we are doggedly resolved to preserve the entente cordiale, that " better substitute," as the Herald calls it, for formal treaties of alliance, so often preg nant with matters of dispute. The article of the Univers, which first apprises us of our uncomfortable irritation against France (of which the French offi cers at Portsmouth were probably as ignorant as our selves), is otherwise very amusing, and therefore we will copy it : " THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AND THE WHIGS.—The Univers announces as a report, that the Baron do Meyendorff, the Russian Minister at Berlin, had left that capital to meet Count Nesselrode, and, if neces sary, induce the latter to proceed to the Prussian capi tal, where Lord Palmerston is at present, and where he has been received with the greatest di s tinction by the King. Lord Palmerston proposes next to proceed to Vienna, and many per Sons are inclined to give a political signification to his journey. This opinion, whether erroneous or otherwise, is founded on the supposed pro bability of the return of the Whigs to office. Their affinity with O'Connell, coupled with the popular irri tation existing in England against France, renders it improbable that one of their principal leaders should be travelling for amusement at such a moment. It must not be forgotten, that during Lord Palmerston's last years of office anti-Gallicanism was personified in that statesman. Lord Palmerston had decidedly abjured the policy of the former quadruple alliance to adopt the Austro-continental policy. It cannot be dissembled that the attitude assumed by him in the question of Egypt and Syria acquired for him the sympathies of every foreign power with the exception of France. In many other questions, likewise, such as those of Greece and Turkey, the system of Lord Pal merston was not less in accord with that of foreign courts. It is believed that the object of the prolonged stay of the Count de Nesselrode in England was to facili tate the solution of certain questions relative to the affairs of the East. It is, moreover, announced that Lord Palmerston, by the advice of his friends, is about to re turn speedily to England, where the interests of his party require his presence. If this be so, the journey of the King of the French and of his Minister to England, and his visit to Queen Victoria, would have produced a sin gular result." This is droll enough. The probability that the Whigs are about to resume office in consideration of their affinity with Mr. O'Connell will, pro bably, be as new to most English readers as the prevailing irritation against France ; not that any one doubts of the affinity spoken of ; but we have not hitherto been aware that such affinity with the ex-gaol-bird and frightened deserter of repeal, would be a recommendation to the confi dence either of the Sovereign or the people of this nation. Enough, however, upon this point. Thanks to his good luck, or it may be to the dishonesty of faction, Mr. O'Connell is at large, though still upon the records of the courts of justice a cri minal convicted of a seditious -conspiracy. Let the Whigs by all means court his patronage, and let the convict make Lord Palmerston a Prime Minister, if, as the Univers estimates, he can. And now to another point : the Univers hints, not very darkly, at some supposed understanding between Lord Palmerston and the Russian Government, and tells a story of Count Nesselrode's visit to this country. Now, the surmise as to Lord Palmerston's inti mate relations with Russia imputes to his Lord ship nothing more than virtual high treason, and we shall not, by canvassing the grounds of the surmise, poach on Mr. Urquhart's preserve. Mr. Urquhart knows Lord Palmerston much better than we do, and is in all respects much better qualified than we are to do justice to his Lordship's proceed ing. Connected with this matter, however, we have a little tale to tell. A person—who has been for some years admitted at least so far into the confidence of the Russian mission in this country, as now and then to supply to us, and we suppose to other jour nals, articles of information that could be had only from the Russian Minister or some of his suite—called at our office shortly before the arrival of the King of the French, to tell that the preliminaries of a quadruple treaty, for the arrangement of the affairs of the East, had been agreed upon between Great Britain, Russia, Austria, and Prussia ; and that the terms of this treaty, from any share in forming which France was to be excluded, were the opening of Constantinople and the Dar danelles as a free city and a free port, and the removal of the Sultan and his Court to Scutari, preparatory to driving the Turks altogether out of Europe. The fable was a little too gross, and therefore we dismissed it without much con sideration. It is impossible, however, not to see the mischievous purpose with which such fabrications are set afloat, and we confess that we suspect that the article quoted above is an arrow out of the same quiver. Certain it is, that if the Russian Govern ment does not wish to embroil Great Britain and France, it is grievously ill-served by its subordinate agents, and, assuming Lord Palmerston to be one of is friends, by some of its friends also. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Mr. O'Connell having given his sanc tion to the spinning for Irish account of a theory of Government by a Federal Parliament, we may, no doubt, look for a speedy completion of the w0rk...... Casting aside for the moment the particular ma chinery by which an Irishman and a repealer would seek to relieve his country from her political grievances, let us ask what, in few words, is the object aimed at ? Is it not the making of some laws concerning Ireland, or Irish affairs, which it is found, or believed, that an Imperial Parliament can not or will not make—the doing of something in the business of legislation which a Parliament com posed entirely of Irishmen it is hoped may do, and which one composed of English, Irish, and Scotchmen may not do ?—As we cannot conceive, in any other form, an adequate motive for a reasonable man seeking a repeal of the union, we will take the affirmative for granted. The object, then is to legis late for the people of Ireland in particular, in some way adverse to the interests, or opinions, or wishes of the people of Great Britain,—or to do that by an Irish Parliament which (whether just or unjust in itself) would be done by a Parliament in which the representatives of Great Britain had a voice. IVe would not here be understood to offer any opinion upon the measures which an Irish Parliament, look ing only to what it might hold to be the interests of the Irish people, might think fit to adopt. It is sufficient for our purpose that such measures, if of such a nature as an Imperial Parliament would not have sanctioned, must be considered as opposed to the views of the represen tatives of the people of Great Britain, and by conse quence to those of an assembly in which they should form a decided majority. And indeed, if not, cui bono ? What does Ireland gain by her native Par liament; or what does the empire gain by using three Parliaments to do what might as well have been done by one ? We are quite aware that the opposition of the people of Great Britain to a measure desired by the people of Ireland (always assuming the existence of such a measure) may not be deemed in itself a just reason why the measure should not be carried. But if, while Great Britain and Ireland are united, such an opposition is called into existence, and cannot be evaded, it must be met; and if it cannot be over powered, it must be yielded to. That it does exist, and has been exercised, are the only feasible grounds we can conceive for the proposed change. In short, we must deal with the principles of government as we find them. With the fullest and fairest re presentation of every interest recognising a common authority, we are driven to the vote for a decision, and must always have a discontented minority. This minority—the weaker party—may endeavour to avoid the conclusion it abhors by complicating the mode by which it is to he arrived at ; and may even so far succeed as to hide from itself the true result. So it m ay he imagined that Ireland, by the expedient of obtaining a special Parliament for the making of her own laws, may have them made without, and even in defiance of, the influence of the sister kingdom. But this is only a variety of that species of sophistry by which we are led to fancy that a thing is changed in its nature by being removed one step further from our apprehension. It is akin to that Indian theory which supports the world on an elephant, the elephant on a tortoise, and the tortoise on something else which is not exactly de fined. With such a Parliament in Ireland as alone would satisfy the cravings of the repeal party, a col lision between the two countries would be inevitable. Let it be supposed that some such measure as we have alluded to—marked by such an encroachment upon British interests as should arouse the decided opposition of the British people—were presented for the royal assent. The Ministry of the day would then, as now, it is presumed, hold office by the confidence of the Imperial Par liament. The predominance of Great Britain over Ireland in that assembly would be unaltered, and would be heard in the advice of the Ministry to the Sovereign. And how could it be otherwise ? Unless we completely change the constitution of the Execu tive, the royal assent would still be given or withheld under the influence of the responsible advisers of the Crown. Assuming that it were withheld—and such we may almost deem an inevitable consequence of the supposed character of the measure, the Irish Parliament would find itself opposed, nomi nally, to the Sovereign, but, in effect, to the Executive and the Imperial Parliament. The usual Parliamentary resource—a stoppage of the supplies from Ireland—might follow. But what then ? Uhe function of the Irish Legislature would be brought to a standstill, and the supplies from Great Britain remain unaffected. It would be idle to carry our spe culations further. The case we have put involves no violent improbabilities; but, on the contrary, springs, by the most direct inference, from the only grounds upon which a repealer can be supposed to give to his demand a reasonable aspect. If we refer to history, the view we here take of the operation of the federal principle is amply confirmed by experience. Of two such States so united, the lesser has always been compelled to submit to the greater, and has possessed a Parliamentary constitution in theory and in name. Even the history of the old Irish Parliament, defective as it was in its constitution, is replete with evidence of the utter uselessness of a local Parliament to that coun try, or any other similarly situated. Indeed, its defects alone saved the empire from the risks which its exist ence in an efficient state must have constantly involved. It was capable of being rendered subservient. Its subservience, however, was costly to England—made it wholly valueless to Ireland—and was never put to so good a purpose as in aiding its final extinction. It may serve to employ and amuse theorists, or to mis lead the masses who will reason upon the subject only up to the limits marked for them, to raise a fal lacious distinction between the legislative functions of the Sovereign and those of the Parliament; and admitting division in the latter, appeal to the "gol den link" still furnished by the former for a saving bond of union. But we need only to be reminded of what is the actual position of the Sovereign in this country, to perceive the weakness of such a link. That reference to the " golden link"—(apparently a favourite one with Mr. O'Connell)—has, indeed, a fine loyal sound ; but it does not get rid of the diffi culty. It only shifts it one step further back. We need scarcely repeat that the Sovereign is always swayed by the predominating Parliamentary influence, which has therefore, in effect, an absolute veto upon all laws, whether made in Ireland or in England. We think Mr. O'Connell touched the gist of the question of Ireland's fair share of influence in the Legislature of the empire (and of Ireland), when he objected to the number of individuals she deputes to the Impe rial Parliament. Here, if at all, muQt Ireland be strengthened. In obtaining a local Parliamen . t she would either give up altogether, for a mere name, the substantive power she ow ha . so e would find that, after all, the battle in ins - cation of Irish rights must be fought, not in the federal but in the Imperi al Assembly ; intentions nd that the extent 't o which she could effect the g ood of the former would be exactly measured by the actual weight of her influence in the latter. The real complaint of Ireland, then, is, that the predominating influence in the Legislature is adverse to the in- MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Oct. 25.) SUGAR.—To-day there was a fair business transacted in the British Plantation Sugar market, and 400 hhds were disposed of at former rates for yellow, but for brown importers were compelled to take easier prices.

By private contract 200 baskets yellow Java sold at is Gd per cwt. MOLASSES.—For West India several inquiries have prevailed this week, but stiffer rates being required by the merchants business has been checked, and not many parcels have been disposed of : there is nothing to be purchased under 21s per cwt. The stock is not so large as it was, and the deliveries continue to be very good ; of East India small parcels have been disposed of at 15s to 16s per cwt.
