MONEY AND CITY NEWS. CrItOM TIII MORNING PAFERB OF TIIIS DAY.) POST.-Late in the afternoon letters and P''',,ers by the Hamburgh mail were delivered, but they wer'., wholly destitute of interest, and we have literally no nev: s whatever from any other quarter. The Stock Markets have in . the interval exhibited but little animation, while prices it - cnerally remain much the same as at the close of the 'markets yesterday. Consols were last quoted 92 to 1, fo - .. Money ; and 92k, buyers, for Account; Exchequer Bills, 665. to Gds. prem. ; Bank Stock, 202/ to 3i ; and India Stock, 2541 to 53.. In the Foreign House, Five per Cent. Dutch Stock was ms.rked 1021- to -/; Two-and-a -Half per Cent. ditto, 543- to i; Belgian, 98/ to 9 ; Brazilian, 793. to /-; Colombian, 28i• to ; Five per Cent. Portuguese, 35 to i; Three per Cent. ditt o , 221 to / ; and Active Spanish, with the overdue dividend certificates, 20/ to Some of our City Contemi.oraries are, we perceive, still harping upon the nonsense of another Spanish loan. Of what ad vantage will it be to the holders of the prese„ t Christino bends, we may ask, to have twenty r';..itlions more of the same kind IA rubbish sent into the market, that such all event should give an increased value to the former ? 'Would this large addition to the existing burdens of the Spanish Government render the future payment of the dividends the more certain ? Perhaps our Ministerial organs will afford us some explanation ut:,on this point. The bondholders do not seem to be able to obtain the smallest encouragement from any other Brjurces. If Messrs. Ricardo and Co., to whom 0u , .; capital'.' is are so much indebted for these Peninsular impslrtations, would undertake to deposit Consols as security for the punctual discharge of the interest for the next ha' i century, the proposition for issu ing a new creation of Sr e anish bonds at 52, while the old ones are aperfect drug a`„ 20, might be intelligible; but without some such guararo,ee on the part of the contractor, the affair has very muck, the character of a burlesque. The Spanish Governmer', have themselves no security to offer but the se curity of the most embarrassed of' bankrupts. The Share Market continues flat. Great Western Railway are quoted 11-3- to 12 prem., London and Birmingham 77 to 79 prem., London and Brighton 4 to 4 dis., London and Black wall 2 to 11 dis., Bahia steam Navigation /3- to 4 dis., and British North Amerier,n Bank 1/ to 2 prem. per share. The Worthing Tontino shares have been doing of late at prem., and they elcP.,ed this evening at that quotation. PRIVILT,&GES OF SERGEANTS AT LAW. JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL. The Attorney-General who appeared on behalf of the Crown, in conclusion on Saturday afternoon, submitted that it was competent to the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas proprio vigore, to dire or order whom they please to practise in that Court. doubted very much whether this was a case respecting youich their Lordships could pronounce au opinion ; and eve: o if they did, it was a matter entirely for the consideration of the Court of Common Pleas themselves, and it was ue:eecessary for the Crown to give any directions respecting :, t . The P ,olicitor- General followed on the same side, contend ing tl'.at this was a matter of right between two bodies, namely, the. Sergeants and the Bar in general, and that this Court had no power to interfere. The Lord Chancellor—Have the Sergeants any other mode of having this right determined ? The Solicitor-General—Certainly, by action ; if there be a right there must be a remedy. The Attorney-General —Or by a motion such as that of which Mr. Sergeant Taddy gave notice. Lord Brougham never heard the legality of the warrant questioned before Mr. S', - ,rgeant Taddy gave notice of his mo tion. The Sergeants acquiesced in it, and no person doubted its validity. Mr. Austen, in reply, o b serve d t h at as the law officers of the Crown admitted the warrant to be illegal, all that their Lordships were called upon to do was to state that fact to her Majesty. Lord Brougham—And what is to follow ? Mr. Austen—There will be no diffit - ailty about that. The object of referring the matter to this Court was that the Court of Common Pleas might not be compelled to overrule an exer cise of the prerogative, respecting which the Judges of the Court felt much delicacy. Lord Brougham---Arlhat is to become of the rank conferred on the Sergeants? Mr. Austen—lf the warrant be illegal the rank must fall. Lord Brougham—How is this Court to communicate with the Court of Common Pleas, or how is the Crown to commu nicate to that Court the illegality of the warrant? Is there any instance of this Court giving to the Crown an opinion of law which was not an advice? Lord Abinger—We may get into tome difficulty, and fall into a conflict with the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Austen, having concluded his reply, the Court deli berated for a short time. They will communicate their deci sion to the Queen. The Court was crowded with members of the legal profes sion, it being P. question affecting the body in general, both Counsel and Solicitors. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-F!3. 2. THE BRAMTREE CASE, In this case, which is a most important one regarding Church -rates-, Mr. Marr.stNa said that it stood thirty-seven in the special paper. was a case to be argued by the Attorney- General and Sir NN. Follett. The arguments were expected to occupy a. day.. Accordingltolthe state of the special paper, it was very prr.bable the case would not be arrived at during the present *sittings, but he was instructed to move that it might be postpv.ied till next T erm . Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said Mr. Manning had better mentifin the case on Monday, when Lord Denman would be present. THE QUEEN V. THE TRUSTEES OP BLACKPRIARS BRIDGE, MANCHESTER. This was a case directed by the Justices of the Manchester and Salford Session, and the question to be decided was, whether the trustees were subject to be rated in respect to the occupa tion of the Ble.ckfriars Bridge. This bridge was erected over the river Irwell, which separates Manchester and Salford. An Act of Parliament had been obtained for erecting the bridge, and under which those parties who had subscibed to the ur,dertaking were authorised to be incorporated as trustee., for 'the purposes of the Act. The trustees were empowered to borrow money upon the tolls by way of mortgage, and they were also empowered to levy tolls for the purpose of repairing the bridge, paying the interest on the money borrowed, and the surplus was to be applied in payment of the principal money borrowed, and after the latter had been paid off, the trustees were authorised to pay the subsc,ribers a sum not exceeding 7i per cent. on the money they had subscribed. There was then a direction that the surplus income should be applied to paying off the origir,al sum advanced by the subscribers, and, after this was a zcomplished, the tolls were no longer to be imposed. The Learned JUDGES were of opinion that the mortgagees must be consi'jered strangers to the undertaking, but that the subscribers must be looked upon as proprietors of the concern, and as respected their interest the tolls must be rated, and the judgment must he for the Crdwn. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Flus. 2. WILLIAMSON V. WEED. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover com pensation in damages for an injury alleged to have been re ceived through the negligence of the defendant. Mr. Stringle said that on the evening of the 11th of last September he was passing along the Strand, and that, on his arriving close to the corner of Bedford-street, he saw one of the servants of the defendant, who kept a draper and tailor's shop, putting up the shutters. The shutters the man appeared to be receiving from another person in the area, or from the cellar, through a hole in the grating on the outside of the house, which constituted part of the footway of Bed ford-street. On bis nearer approach to the shop, be observed a man, whom he had subsequently ascertained to be the plain tiff, slip down through tlie hole until his right side came in contact with the grating. A woman of the name of Harrigan, who kept a fruit-stall close to the corner of Bedford -street, ran and assisted him to get up. As soon as the plaintiff re gained his feet he leant against the window frame, and put both his hands on his right side and leant forwards, as though suffeling great pain. After a short time the plaintiff walked away, with his hands still pressed closely to his side, and in such a manner as to indicate that he had received a severe in ternal injury. On his cross-exarnination he admitted that he was a ssa►mou informer. Two medical gentlemen then proved ale extent of the injury received by the plaintiff; *.iainely, that the filth and sixth ribs were broken iu th e right gide, and that the man was unable to work at his trade, that of a boot and shoe maker, for about two months ; and at the present time he was compelled to his bcdy bandaged . u p. Mr. fIUMFREY addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages. Mr. Baron GURNEY left it to the Jury to say whether the def-ndant bad neglected to use such precautions as were ne cessary, (..oneidering that the hole into which the plaintiff hart fallen waR in the footway of a public street. 3ury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40/. GRIFFIYITS V. nowNoTols. This case was likewise one in which the plaintiff sought to recover compensation in damages for an injury he had sus tained by means of an alleged negligence on the part of the defendant.

Tiiis is a queition as to the validity of the will of the late Mr. Piorrepoint. The deceased has left a will and six codi cils, and a paper of a subsequent date, by which his family, consisting of several children (some natural), are benefited. The paper in dispute is propounded by Mrs. Pierrepoint, the widow of the testator, and is opposed by Mrs. Mitchell, a married daughter.

THE COAL TRADE.—TWO of the Harbour-masters waited upon the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of informing his Lord ships that the captains of several of the coal vessels now in the lower sections would not comply with the bye-laws which had been made for the regulation of the river, and that the coal-merchants had the strongest objection to the mode adopted to keep the pool in a proper coef it i on . The LORD MAYOR—Do not en any account pay regard to the feelings or suggestin s of the coal-merchants, but enforce the regulations. and if you find any impediment make a complaint. and we shall see whether a remedy cannot be applier!.. I suppose the monopolists are feeling the effects of (; ,, r exertions. If our bye-laws are not able to meet their ob jections, we must as speedily as possible amend them. I shall, if it be necessary, summon a Court of Co mmon C ounc il to consider the subject, - and the trade will not find it to their ad vantage to oppose our regulations, for we will see if we cannot manage to place a narrower limit to the time for remaining in the pool than the existing bye-laws allow. Name some ves sel which has disobeyed your orders to remove from a section into the pool. The Harbour-master sail that the captain of the Elizabeth had five days ago received the order to go into the pool, but refused. The LORD MAYOR—That will do, Proceed against him at once in the Thames Police-office for a conviction. If the bye-Jaws do not bear us out, I shall summon a Court of CommcLit Council. Let the proceedings be adopted without delay. It is of the utmost public importance, and will not ad. mit of hesitation. The Harbour -masters immediately left tho Mansion• Houso to carry his Lordship's order into execution. The coal-trade is in a state of the greatest agitation. A young woman, named Burman, servant to Mr. Garland, who keeps a spirit shop at No. 26, Billiter-street, was com mitted for trial at the Central Criminal Court for concealing the birth of her infant. A labouring man named Joseph Barber, was ordered to find bail for an atrocious assault upon a child, the daughter of the foreman of a wharf, who, by employing him kept him out of the workhouse. It was with difficulty the poor father kept his hands off the ungrateful and dissolute wretch, who WAS committed in default of bail. GUILDHALL. A lad named Baxter was brought before Mr. Alderman LAINSON, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. David Nunez Carvalho, a bookseller, in Fleet-street. The prisoner declined offering any defence,l and was re manded, to give the officer time to make further inquiry. BOW-STREET. CRAW)! OP THREATBNING TO STAB.—A person of gentle manly exterior, apparently about fifty years of age, who gave his name William John .Hemsworth, and stated that be re sided at No. 3, Dorset-place, Pall-mall East, was placed at the bar before Mr. MIN/MULL, charged with having threatened to stab Arthur Leete, a wine-cooper and dairyman, living at No. 4, Wilson -street, Drury-lane, on the previous evening. After the charge had been stated by the complainant, The defendant said that he was a half-pay officer in the army. He had served in the Peninsular wars, and had there been se verely wounded. For one of tke wounds which he had re ceived he enjoyed a pension of 701. a year, independent of his pay. He had been drinking on the previous evening, and supposed that his violent conduct must have proceeded from that circumstance. Mr. Mirisuum. said that the case was of such a nature as to call upon him to require the defendant to put in bail, him self in 50/., and two sureties in 251. each. He could not countenance the carrying about of weapons of so dangerous a character as that found upon the defendant in London, how. ever necessary or useful they might be in foreign countries. MARYLEBOIVE. Count Felix Charles de Real, a French Nobleman, ac companied by his wife and several friends, made the fol lowing extraordinary statement to the Magistrates, asking their assistance. His parents had emigrated during the French Revolution, and his father had been for some time dead, and his mother bad remained in England. About four months since he received a letter from her, re questing him to come to her, and remove her to her native country, as she felt at her great age, she being 86 years old, that she had not long to live. The Count immediately ac ceded to his mother's wishes, and, on his arriving in London, proceeded to the house of a French Roman Catholic Priest, in Pratt -street, Camden Town, where she was residing ; but, on applying to see her, the Priest denied that she was there. On persisting in his applications, M. de Real found that the Priest had removed the Countess to a house in York-street, Bryanston-square, where they detained her, and would net permit her to be seen by any person ; she was possessed of a large property, and be bad not a doubt but they wanted to se cure it to themselves by means of their unjust influence over her. The MAGISTRATI said that the Count must apply to the Judges for a writ of habeas corpus, as he had not the power of assisting him. M. de Real retired, expressing his surprise that England should not afford the same redress against priestly interference that could be obtained from the police in France. HATTON-GARDEN. MATRIMONIAL FELICITT._A lady named Brochwell, Hying in Bloomsbury-square, was charged with assaulting her hus band and threatening his life. The unfortunate complainant detailed is troubles at some length ; and it appeared that he had put up with abuse from his better half nearly 20 years rather than expose her to the world. The defendant, who treated the affair with much indifference, was committed to prison in default of the requisite sureties. THAMES OFFICE. THE PAUPER SHIP.—On Friday, Mr. Nicholson, assistant overseer of St Margaret's and St. John's, Westminster, and Atrell, constable of the Strand Union, attended to complain of the condition of the vessel moored close to the office at Wapping for thepurpose of receiving Scotch and Irish paupers, as also of the immorality of suffering men, women, and children to herd and sleep together in one dirty cabin without the least separation, &c., &c. The Magistrate said that he had no jurisdiction in the case whatever, but recommended Mr. Nicholson to go to the Ses sions where the Magistrates issue regulations for the removal of Irish and Scotch paupers. Evans, the principal surveyor of the Thames police, was directed to go on board and ascertain the state of the case. On Saturday Evans made his report on the subject to the sitting Magistrates, Messrs Broderip and Greenwood. He stated that on going over the ship he found that she had on board as many as thirty-seven Irish and three Scotch paupers, all of whom were stowed away in the hold. He thin went on to say that there was no partition to divide the men from the women, and that the hold where they slept was a confined and dirty place. They had nothing but straw to lie upon, and it was renewed only with every fresh supply of paupers. Those on board on Friday evening had been shipped off to Ireland and Scotland that morning, and a fresh styply of straw taken in. The Magistrates directed that a full report of the state of the ship, the manner in which the unfortunate Irish and Scotch paupers are treated, the " dietary tables," &c., should be embodied, with the statements of Messrs. Nicholson and Atrell, and immediately forwarded to the Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex and the Poor-law Commissioners, Mr. Green wood observing that a remedy was called for. LAMBETH- STREET. A case of importance to the licensed victuallers of the me tropolis was brought under the notice of, and decided by, Mr. CoottnE. It was a summons against a Mr. Jones, the land lord of the White Hart public-house in High-street, White chapel, for refusing to receive into his house two soldiers who were billetted upon him by the parish constable. Mr. COMBS thought the complaint on the part of the publi can was well founded, and told the constable he had a right to send billets to the beerhouse-keepers as well as to the public houses. He then dismissed the summons. FATAL. EFFECTS OF TREATING TO ARDENT SPIRITS. On Saturday the sitting Magistrate at the Marlborough. street Police-office was occupied a Considerable time in inves tigating the following melancholy and serious case : It appeared that about eight o'clock in the morning a poor half-witted, half-starved individual, named James Johnson, but better known by the cognomen of " Nubby," who had for some time been hanging about the nighthouscs in the Hay market, subsisting upon occasional charity, was brought to the station-house in Vine-street in a dying state. It was soon ascertained that the unfortunate man had swal lowed. a large quantity o f g i n , w hi c h h a d b een furnished to him, as reported, by way of bet, by a young gentlemen of the name of Burdett. The inspector sent immediately for me dical assistance. The stomach pump was applied, but medical skill was of no avail, for the man died an hour or two after his admission into the station- house. The cause of this unhappy event called at the station-house to learn how it fared with the man whom he had so imprudently supplied with gin. The inspector, finding the young gentleman in a state of intoxica tion, very properly laid h o ld o f t hi s c i rcumstance t o keep him in custody. The charge was entered on the police-sheet as one of drunkenness against William Jones Burdett, of No. 25, St. James's-place, the residence of Sir Francis Burdett. Mr. Burdett, having paid the fine for drunkenness, went away. CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY• la the evening, at six o'clock, a lengthened investigation was proceeded with before Mr. Iligge, deputy coroner for Westminster, at the sign of the Man in the Moon, Vine-street, Piccadilly. Verdict—" That the deceased died from apo plexy, caused by swallowing a great quantity of gin, and that it is very reprehensible in Mr. Burdett and another gentleman in giving si. to the deceased to take such a quantity in so short time.

THE SUN, LONDON, NAONDAY, FEBRITARY 4, 1836 MEETING OF LANDLORDS AT SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK. A seecial - I . :>:eeting of the influential owners and o ccu pi ers ° . .dnu, connected with the Warwickshire Agricultural Asso elation, was held at Warwick on Saturday last, at twelve o'cloelt. The object of the meeting was to take into consi deration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a conti nuation of the existing Corn-laws. Among other gentlemen present, the Right Hon. th e E ar l of Warwi c k, the Earl of Aylesford, Sir Joshua Mordaunt, Bart., M. P,, Sir John Brown Cave, Bart., E. J. Shirley, Esq., M. P . , 1.1. C. Wise, Esq., M. Wise, Esq., J. Boulthee, Esq., E. Greaves, Esq., the Rev. Messrs. Boudier, J. C. Roberts, and Hadow, Messrs. Umbers, Chapman, H. Robbins, Barclay, Craddock, W. Hodgson, Fleming, Wallington, Wjr thington, Lucas, &c. The Earl of WArtwicx, as President of the Assceiation, took the chair. In the course of his speech he said be th oug ht the course which the own-rs and occupiers of la n d were calle d t o o pi t n a i k n e n, at i t n h s e te p a r d ese o n f present e m n o te m r e in n z t wiansto n a eery simple one ; i n his of the numerous points alluded to by Sir Eardley Wilmot, that meeting ought to confine itself to a petition against the reso lutions adopted in the Manchester Chamber of Com merce, which they all knew were of a character fatal to their prosperity, as either proprietors or cultivators of the soil. If any steps were ultimately adopted by which specific alterations were attempted to be made in the present laws, then those in this county interested in the agricultural question might re-assemble for further discussion of the subject in all its details. Ile would beg to remind them that, in the course of last year, Lord Melbourne stated that, in his opinion, the Corn laws had worked beneficially, that he should be sorry to see any change introduced, and that the Government would propose none unless the opinion of the country was manifested in its favour. Now Lord John Russell, in answer to a commu nication from his constituents at Stroud, in his individual capa city, expressed himself favourable to a moderate fixed duty. Thus the Premier expressed one opinion, and the Home Se cretary another; they could not depend then upon any thing like support from the Government. After a few words from one or two other gentlemen, the following resolutions were adopted : " 1. That this meeting feel considerable alarm at the pre sent attempt to repeal the Corn-laws, which measure it con siders would be totally subversive of the agricultural interest, as well as injurious to all other classes.

PORTSMOUTH, FEL 2.—By letters from the Seringapatam, 46, dated Dec. 12, we learn that the Edinburgh, 74, which left this port in October, reached Barbadoes on the 2d o f De cember, having dispatch es for Sir Charles Paget, with which she proceeded to Jamaica on the 6th. The Pique frigate, and Modeste and Rover corvettes, arrived at Barbadoes on the 27th of November, and forthwith proceeded to the Gulf of Mexico. The whole of these ships experienced a very stormy passage. We understand that letters hare been received from the Pilot, 16. She had arrived safe at Halifax, but on her passage out she was overtaken by a severe gale, in which she has lost her boats and some deck lumber. She was obliged to throw part of her guns overboard. She left Halifax again for Ber muda on Dec. 31V. The Andromache, 28, left Jamaica for Bermuda on the Bth of December. The Saracen, 18, left St. Helena for Ascen sion on the 6th of December.

The Electra, 18, Commander Preston, sailed this morning for South America. Commander Mainwaring, to join the Stag, and Commander Smith, and Lieutenant Freeland, to join the President, take passage in her.

By an order under the hand and seal of the Poor law Commissioners, bearing date the 19th ultimo, and issued at the desire of the board of guardians, John Saph and Mary his wife, the master and matron of the union workhouse at Pewsey, Wilts, have been dismissed from their respective situations. The charges made and proved against the said John and Mary Sepia, and on which their dismissal is founded, are these : First, that they had, for some considerable period, deducted one ounce of bread from the supper of each aged male pauper in the house, contrary to the established dietary, and without the sanction of the board of guardians. Second, that they had for a considerable period secretly maintained in the workhouse one or more children belonging to the said master and matron ; they having previously declared to the guardians, at the time of their appointment, that they had no family whatever. Third, that the said master bad sometimes absented himself from the house for three days and two nights successively, without having obtained permission of the guardians so to do. By this dismissal of the Commissioners, the said John and Mary Saph are for ever again prohibited from accepting a similar situation in any union throughout the kingdom. ANTIQUITIES OF EXETER. PHCENICIAN C 0.... TO THE EDITOR OF THE S . (71 1 V. Sta,—Among other rarities lately dug up in this ari.7 l en t city is a Phoenician copper coin, found in Goldsmith-street, unique in its kind. It bears an antique bust to the left—in front a bow. On the reverse arc three characters, on the upper part of an oblong or rhomboidal figure, visected or di vided at tcp. They are supposed by Captain Shorts, of Ileavitree, unless marking some epochs as Phoenician or Ty rian numerals, to imply the word Sada, and stand for the famous city of Sidon, even now called Said. On being read from the right, he observes, they present something like the llebre x (gridiron) letter s'chin or sin (the initial of the Phoe nician word signirying year) ; also a second letter like a Q, or numerical 9 turned to the right, answering to the Hebrew daleth (I); and the last, or third character, is beyond all con troversy the Phoenician A, answering to the Hebrew Aleph. Such rhomboids often appear, on medals and coins of Tyre, Sidon, and Syracuse. Three Greek coins of Sidon, have, however, been found at Exeter before, besides many others of the Ptolemies, and 14 Greek colonial cities of Syria, Mesopo tamia, and Asia Minor. And even in despite of the editors of the Islumismatic Chronicle, who, with the fact of two of the vast medals of Ptolemy Soter staring them in the face from the Watling-street, continue to assert that no Greek coins were ever found in London l The Phoenician coin was found in October last. A S)racusan coin of massy silver has been dug up in the mines near Truro, with the usual Greek inscrip tion ; and a small Greek copper coin at Exeter lately, defaced, but bearing a bearded bust. Also an unique coin of the Em press Theodora, another of Gratian A VGG. AVG ; one of Julian the Apostate, &c. ; a Bull of Eugenius IV. has been dug up on the site of the old Franciscan convent. The readers of The Sun will recollect a notice in its columns last year of the Greek Imperial coins of Carre, in Mesoputa. mia (Alex. Severus), of Hierapolis, Samosata, Caesarea, .and Alexandria, of which a deposit was found nearPoltirnore, three miles from this city, along with some coins (mostly female heads) of the Ptolemman dynasty. The tin trade to these parts was of remote antiquity, but Roman auxiliary soldiers may have introduced many Greek coins also.—Yours, Jan. 1839. A CONSTANT READER. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

THE LATE RET. HUGE' JAMES ROSE.-KING'S COLLEGE, LONDO?L-The subjoined is a copy of a minute of the Council of this institution, in reference to the decease of the late Principal of the College :-" The Council, having been in formed of the death of the Rev. Hugh James Rose, late Prin cipal of the College, which event took place at Florence on the 22d of December last, are desirous of expressing the deep concern with which they have received this intelligence, and of recording their grateful sense of the conscientious and effi cient manner in which their late lamented Principal discharged the duties of his office, while bearing up against the pressure of an enfeebled constitution and failing health. Valuable as were the services for which this institution was indebted to him, the Council are well aware that they formed but a part of those which his great talents, his varied learning, his ardent piety, and his unwearied energy, enabled him to render to the Church at large, to the interests of sound learning, and to the cause of religious education." Mr. Percival Frost, the Second Wrangler and First Smith's Prizeman of this year, and Mr. Peaks, the Thirtieth Wrangler, were of Oakbam School. STATE OF TRADE. HALIFAX MARKET.—There was little variation in the quantity of business done on Saturday from what was done last week. A fair amount of goods was sold, yet buyers were not taking them in large quantities. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—For the last two or three weeks our reports of this trade have been very fist, and this week there have hardly been any buyers of Long Wool in, and prices remain nominally the same. Shod Wool is also dull, and the turn lower. HOLMFIRTH, &c.—The mills have not been so fully em ployed, during the past month, as they were in December. A great many goods cre now made by order ; at present the. merchants are not issuing many fresh ones, and the manufac turers do not appear disposed to make many goods on specu lation. From the great advance in the price of wares used for dark and woaded colours, it is probable that light-coloured goods for summer wear, will be most attended to. BURY.—The blanket trade is in a fair state, and hands have full employment. The calico printing has improved a little since Christmas, and hands have more work. The hanCs in all the cotton mills are fully employed, and machine makers and mechanics arc very busy. Trade generally is in a healthy state. ASIITON AND HIDE.—The cotton spinners and power-lodin weavers have all full work at Ashton, Hyde, Staley-bridge, and their neighbourhoods, and trade generally seems to be in a healthy state. SILK GLOVE BRANCH. —The whole of the manufacturers of silk gloves, with five exceptions, have given the advance re quired—namely, sixpence per dozen, or one halfpenny per pair. As those manufacturers have refused to comply with the request of the workmen, we understand a strike has been resolved on. —Nottingham Mercury. SILK TRADE.—The silk trade, of almost every description has revived very much within the last few days, On Satur day last several very large firms in Manchester disposed of nearly all the silk goods they had in their warehooses. The demand for the satins and fine sorts of light coloured lute strings was greater than the supply. This week weavers' wages upon some sorts have been advanced 15 per cent, yet they are very low. Plain Sarcenets, of the 2,700 and 3,000 reeds, two in a dent, are also begun to be inquired after, and the manufacturers are making many sorts of silk goods for the summer season. The goods aro of a beautiful Fght.coloured description. There are some few satins, of the 2,700 reed, with 12 ends in one dent, which look very rich and arc made of excellent silk. There are great demands for some sorts for exportation. As a proof of the popularity of the Whigs in this town—a Royal residence, be it observed—we may mention that at a dinner lately given to celebrate the arrival of her 111,ijesty in Brighton, it was not ventured to propose the health of her Majesty's Ministers, and that to conceal as much as possible the omission, the list of toasts was not made public. Wh renders the story complete, is the fact of the dinner in c l ue:_ tion having taken place at a house which is known as the head. quarters of the Whig Member fur this borough.—Brighten Gazette. [lf no better or stronger evidence of Whig Wipe. pularity can be got up than this—that ; at a dinner given for no political object whatever, the Melbourne Administration was not toastod, even a Tory place-bunter will be compelled to ad. mit that there is but slight grounds of hope for a speedy en. oyment of the loaves and fishes.] PROPOSED RAILROADS IN AMERICA. (FROM A CORRESPONDE:4T OF A MORNING PAPER.) One of the grandest railroad' schemes ev,.r conceived by tjiemind of man has been submitted to the public by Gener al :tirtei, of the United States army. It roposes a system of lai;:ois:de, all dire , gins! from a common focus or centre 111 KenttieLy and Tennessee_the middle point of the Union; so d t h ence t branch in as straglit directions as possible, like the radiations of a stn., to all the large cities and important frontier posts of the co:ntry. Thus New Orleans, Portland , in Maine, New York, the other Atlantic cities, and Detroit, in Michigan, Chicago, in Illinois, Fort Gibson, in Arkansas, Sr. Louis, in Mis s ouri, the northern lakes, and the southern sea of Mexico, tic ocean, and perhaps i.hc. Rocky Mountain!, will all be united in bonds of iron, steam, ate :1 rapid public in tercourse. The General says that such a systeo the United States pr,” . peroui in peace and impi•egnable 1.11 thl war.

Thus words formed upon it 0 1 '0 denote firmness and strength, analogus to the Latin se°l oo , stand, stay, staff stop, stout, steady, stake, stamp, stallire stately, &c. Words beginning with str intimate violent f ° le, and energy, as strive, strength, strike, stripe, stress, straego stride, stretch, strip, &e. Thr implies forcible m otiono throw, throb, thrust, through, the eaten, thraldom, &C. og , obliquity or distortion, as wry, wrest, wreath, wrestle, r rl wrong, wrangle, wrath, wrack, &c. Sw, silent agitatio o 6l, lateral motion, as sway, swing, swerve, sweep, swim, &C. g lib a gentle fall or less observable motion, as slide. slip, sli' slow, slack, sling. Sp, dissipation or expansion, as orvio, sprout, sprinkle, split, spill, spring. Terminations in ash dicatc somethit,g acting nimbly and sharply, as crash. g,l ef ; rash, flash, lash slash. Terminations 'in ush, somgi u :a, acting more obtusely and dully, as crush, brush, hush, gl' I ; i " blush The most that can be argued from such specimen.., imagine is this, that the analogi:-s of sound have had some 1- fluence on the formation of words.
