SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Our Manchester letter of Monday's date, which we give in another column, will be found to deserve an attentive perusal. The underhand bungling conduct of the Whig Government, and of their agents, in the affair of Mr. Ste phens appears to be duly appreciated in that neighbour hood ; nor has it escaped the shrewdness of the inhabitants of Manchester and its vicinity, that the Government Com mission, composed of two Bow-street officers, Sir F. Roe, Mr. Maule, Mr. Poor-law Commissioner Chadwick, and Sir Benjamin Backbite (which has been prowling there abouts for some time with no ostensible object), was sent thither to get up such a case as might furnish an excuse for bringing before Parliament the favourite 'Whig plan for the establishment of a rural police. It may astonish some that the Government—with appetites so keenly whetted forinew patronage by the creation of new places, and with the conviction that without furnishing new means of cor ruption they must speedily fall—should not have pro ceeded with more outward decency in the prosecution of this job ; but all wonder at this impudence will va nish when it is recollected how successfully our ‘' no patronage" Ministers hate contrived to humbug the reformed House of Commons not only into allowing, but even into encouraging, them to increase their mesas of governing by patronage to an extent which ■o former Administration ever had the want of shame or the want of principle to meditate, much less to ask, even from an unreformed House of Commons. As to the pretence that the Government care any thing about seditious speeches or their consequences, our fellow-subjects in the North, like all sane men in all parts of the empire, laugh at it. The men of Lancashire point to Ireland—to the speeches of O'Connell and his rebel gang—to the death's head and cross-bones system—to the bloody murders which the seditious and treasonable speeches of the Irish agitators have caused for years past, and are daily causing —to the threats that the empire shall be dismembered, and that the first moment we have a foreign enemy on our hands, the brave O'Connellites, the millions of fighting men, will break out into open rebellion—to the avowed conspiracy to put down the Protestant religion in Ireland, and to seize upon the revenues of that part of the Church Establishment which is planted in Ireland, &c &c. Our fellow-subjects in the North, we say, point to these sayings and doings of O'Connell and his traitorous band, and they ask how a Government, which has not only not instituted any prosecut:ons in Ireland, but which is ac tually kept in office by the sedition-mongers of that part of the kingdom, can possibly have been moved merely by their abhorrence of sedition in their prosecution of Mr. Ste phens ! The Whig Government may depend upon it that they are now much too well known to persuade any portion of the community that they are capable of being actuated by honest, disinterested, or constitutional motives.—Times. How is the country to be tranquillized ? That is the question. Arrest the agitators, suppress public meetings by proclamation, suspend —no, they dare not say, but they hint—suspend the Habeas Corpus Act, and gag the Press, say one party. Repeal the Corn-laws, give cheap food to our artisans, and thereby a fair field of competition with other countries to our manufactures, sae another. Give us Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Short Parliaments, say a third. Let us keep cur places and pa tronage, and leave the country to Providence, say a fourth. And while these several propositions are directly or indi rectly urged on public attention, the time is ra• pidly approaching when the choice of means to tranquillize the country will be wrested from the hinds of the Legislature, and the preservation or the restoration of order will rest in the theory of chances. Let us examine the propositions seriatim. The ap plication of arrests, proclamations, &c., to those acquainted with the actual condition of the country, so far from appear ing Ecalcu!ated to tranquillize the country, arc the very means most of 211 others likely to kindle the flames of civil commotion. The repeal of the Corn-laws, which, by the way, is a hopeless expectation in the present constitution of Parliament—whatever chance there may be of establishing a low and fixed duty—might for the moment appease the agitation of hungry stomachs, but it would not in itself s,t tisfy the intellectual wants of the age. For our own part we have but little hope for the country in the repeal of the Corn-laws, or in any other measure not calculated to give to the people a fuller and fairer representation of their opinion in Parliament than they enjoy at present. The game of holding place and patron age, and trusting the country to Providence, is one which cannot last ; through whatever favourable occur rences it may be protracted, it is liable at any moment to be brought to an abrupt conclusion ; and, therefore, in re ply to the great questron—" How is the country to be tranquillized r the extension of the Suffrage, the Ballot, and the shorter duration of Parliaments, is the only propo• sit;on which really is worthy of public consideration. Such i s the complexion, baffle, elude, or disguise it as they will, to which we must come at last. Much diversity of opi nion exists as to the actual state of the country, but the broad fact is, that if about two or three years since there was a re-action towards repose, after the excitement inci dental to the passing of the Reform Act, there is now a se-action towards—we shall not say what—of a contrary character, which can be set at rest only by concessions e itniler to those which on the former occasion lulled it to quiescence.—Morning Advertiser. The forthcoming Number of The British and Foreign R ev i ew c otains an interesting article on the subject of the Austrian Comnirelai Treaty—the information on which, we are assured, is derired from the most authentic sources. " We have it in our power," says the writer, " to state that an Imperial rescript has received tug Emperor's sanction, and will perhaps be in operation before these pages are in the hands of our readers, by which the entire prohibitory system of Aus tria is abolished. We lament that we are at present unable to give the details of this great measure : but such are the singular habits of the Imperial Government in these matters, that even an act of this public importance is only allowed to transpiee by de grees, and to be learned by the world from the agents who are or dered to put it into execution. We are able, however, to affirm, that the change is of the best and most extensive kind. Duties ad valorem, upon no immoderate scale, are to be sub stituted in all instances for the existing prohibitions of the tariff; and the commercial policy of Austria is actually about to place her on the footing of the most enlightened nations. " This important change has been forwarded by the perse vering zeal of Count Kollowrath, whose active and benevolent spirit—never more conspicuous than in this conquest over the jealous traditions of the Administration of Vienna—have long since earned for him the respect and gratitude of every pro vince in the empire. It has been finally approved of by a statesman who has never allowed the love of popularity or even the material interests of the empire to make him swerve from his strict but subtle political combinations ; and who, it may be believed, would not have assented to the English treaty, and this reform of the Austrian tariff, if the Prussian commercial league bad not been formed in despite of his in fluence in the German Confederation ; if the Danube had not been opened for good or evil by modern enterprise ; if the political state of Hungary had not urged the Austrian Govern meat to grant her a large instalment of concession to satisfy her claims of improvement and encouragement; if Russia were not lying on the Bessarfabian shore of the Danube, ready to seize her scarce-relinquished prey again; if Turkey were not open to the invader, and more than all, if Eng land were not bound by her interests and principles to combine with heart and hand for the maintenance of in dependent states—for the spread of prosperity and im provement in the world—for the defence of the East from the calamitous inroads of Russian barbarism and the mortal gripe of Russian bonds. Such have been the motive 9, such have been the secure grounds, on which Prince:Metternich has decided to take this step : his decision being once made, he is prepared to make our reciprocity complete, and to confirm by iiiit,rnal measures the spirit of his foreign treaty." Though some branches of manufacture have made con siderable progress in the Austrian dominions, yet Austria must be considered as a yet agricultural state. The manu facturers do not constitute one-eighteenth part of the popu Istion ; and a departure from the prohibitory system must be highly beneficial both to England and Austria, if we are prepared to take due advantage of it. The author of the work of " Austria and the Austrian?' considers the ironmongery and cutlery, manufactured from the excellent iron of Styria, superior to any other on the Continent.' But on the whole, the Austrian manufacture, though ap parently in a prosperous state, owes that appearance solely to " the low price of bread and animal food." Our land owners seem to think that the high price of bread and ani mal food is indespensable to the prospeitY of manufac tures. We must abandon our present system. The question lies either between an absolutely free trade, or importation on a low fixed duty. For our own part, we should think the charges on importation more than coun tervail any duties to which landowners are subject. The Austrian treaty furnishes an admirable occasion for return ing to a healthy system. We shall revert to the subject of this article.—Morning Chronicle. A few days ago, about half-past six o'clock, a young lady, about thirty years of age, passing along Leadenhall-street, was observed to stagger and fall. She was immediately carried in the house of Mr. Sapwell, where a medical gentleman was sent for, who pronounced her to have been attacked with paralysis. She was then placed in bed ; but up to last night had not rallied. No thing was found to lead to a conjecture who she is. She svore a black silk dress, new black silk cloak, with velvet collar, white straw bonnet, open stockings, and leather shoes ; has dark eyes, and hair dressed in bands. She had in her possession a dark merino cloak, a bag containing a Prayer Book, (on the first leaf of which is written " P. S. Forster, 1837,") two cambric handkerchiefs, a pair of slippers, a thimble, and a piece of lace on a card. Hand bills, headed " To anxious relatives," have been printed and freely circulated ; but no one has as yet come forward to recognise her. MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OT THIS DAY. TIMES.—By the advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Miut price of 31. 17s. 10Id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 9.i., and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.6., it follows that gold is 1.74 per cont. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per 'lac, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 35., and the exchange at Paris on London at short bing 25. 25, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per cent. in favour of England. By the Reindeer, arrived at Liverpool from Monte Video, accounts of the 17th of October have been received. It was understood that negotiations were on foot for bringing to an end the civil war which had so long harasied that province, and with a tolerable prospect of success. The next packet from Buenos Ayres, it was hoped, would communicate that desirable result. The exchange was 44d. HE RAL D.—The value of money for commercial pur poses has not advanced, though it has been rather more in request, as is usual at the current season, but there has Leen no disposition manifested to enter into large transactions in either the British or foreign public securities. From the former the public are deterred by the political aspects of the country and her dependencies in North America and India, and from the anticipation that the revenue will be very short of the public exigencies of the State; whilst there is .. nothing from the positio❑ of the Peninsular States, or those of the South American Republics, to encourage dealings in their securities. In fact, the details of the anarchised state of Spain, whether they regard either the position of the Carlist or Christino party, as continually shown in this journal, afford sufficient evidence of the folly of vesting property in the me retricious securities of any country distracted by civil war. The exchanges on the continent are steady at the quotations of the last post day, but with little business doing, and the presence of more money than paper. On Paris they are quoted at 25f 471 c a 25f 55c ; on Amsterdam at 12 3 a 12 34; on Rotterdam at 12 34 a 12 3} ; on Frankfort at 1501 a 151 ; and on Hamburg at 13 9. There has been but little business in the British Funds to day ; and the market may be termed more steady than active; in fact the public and the jobbers are at present very shy of any speculation. The Foreign Market continues in an inactive state, and the quotations have, in most instances, slightly declined. Shares have generally maintained a small advance on the few transactions which have occurred. Great Western Rail way are 131 pm., Brighton are 31 a 3 dis., and Blackwall 1 dis. Birmingham are 79} aBO pm. ; Greenwich are 34 pm.; Croydon are 6 dis., and the ditto Scrip la a 4 dis. North Midland are 1 pm., and General Steam Navigation Shares are 94 pm. The great increase in the importation of cotton to this country during the past year, from all parts, especially from the United States, has given an interest to the returns of the imports and exports of that staple for the past year, arising equally out of the great speculation which has been carried on in that description of commerce, from its increased consump tion here, and the anti-banking principles which have been adopted by the chief basking institutions of the United States to pros( ote the exportation of that commodity, with the view of graduating the monetary exchanges between the leading ports of Europe and those of the western shores on the other side of the Atlantic. It appears that the total imports into Great Britain during the year 1838 were—to Liverpool, 1,328,647 bags; to London, 43,570 bags; and to Scotland, 56,560 bags, being altogether an import of 1,428,777 bags ; and the stock of 1837, on the 31st of December, being 259,340 bags, creates a grand total for 1838 of 1,688,117 bags. During the last year the exports of cotton from London were 40,900 bags; from Liverpool, 60,500 bags; the Clyde 970 bags. and burnt 6,200 bags, showing a total of 1..579,547 bags. The present total stock amounts to 321,090 bags, which leaves the deliveries for home consumption at 1,258,457 bags, or about 94,201 bags weekly. This is an increase of about 13 per cent. on the consumption of 1837, and shows also that a great deal has been brought here upon speculation, the prosperity of which will undoubtedly be governed by the forthcoming operations of the great banking interests of the United States, who have now linked themselves with the pro ducing parties of the Union, or, in other terms, have added to their monetary functions a power: ul mercantile character, which time alone will prove to be salutary, or the contrary, to com merce, on either side of the Atlantic. The imports into France from the United States have also been rather on the increase, but we have no accredited data to go upon with respect to the amount at present. At Havre we find, however, that the prices have lately declined as well as the course of speculation. Before concluding these remarks we may observe that if the banking party in the United States pursue the genie measures to force exportations of cotton from thence during this year to Europe, and Great Britain especially, with an average crop, it is considered that no dearth of supply will take place in that staple. The Directors of the Great Western Steam Navigation Company have issued a notice that, in consequence of the state of the tides, the Great Western cannot be hauled into Peet broke Dock to refit at present, which will cause her to be de tained beyond the time appointed for her sailing a few days, but certainly not beyond 12 days. POST.—The immense dealings in cotton at Liverpool within the last two months, and the statements which have gone forth to the public in the course of this period regarding the supply and consumption, have rendered it important that we should know, from something like authentic data, what has been done in the articles in the different markets of the United Kingdom during the year just concluded in comparison with the transactions of the year preceding. These we are able to collect in sufficient detail from a table prepared by the leading brokers at Liverpool. The document is made up to the 31st of December, and the results are as follow :—The increase in the importations into the king dom in 1838 amounts to 254,178 bales, of which 280,455 bales were from America, 20,870 from the Brazils, and 1,495 from the West Indies, &c., there being a decrease from India of 37,583 bales, and from Egypt of 10,949 bales. The stock exceeds that of last year by 61,500 bales, the increase being of A m erican 120,800 and of Brazil 950 bales, whilst there is a decrease in West India, ac., of 5 000, in Egyptian 11,600, and in East India of 42,500 bales. The apparent consumption, or out-going, is at the rate of 22,800 bales per week, viz , of Amerigan 17,300 bales, Brazil 2,500, East India 1,700, Egyp tian 00, and West India, &c., 700 bales. Last year it wrs 20,500 bales per week, namely, of American 15,250, Brazil 2,400, East India 1,550, and other descriptions 1,200 bales; the general increase being at the rate of about 2,300 bales per week. jt wntild appear from this account, the accuracy of which may, we suppom be depended on, that the increase in the supply of last year has exceeded the increase in the out goings by something more than donble the quantity. TI:. quantities applicable to the last three years have been in the followiug proportions, viz. : —ln 1836, 1,200,251 balsas; 1837, 1,174,133 bales ; aud 1838, 1,428,311 bales. It will be seen by these fiaurni whether or not there has been any thing in the actual state of the reat*ets to justify the gam bling in the commodity at Liverpool to which we lime from time to time adverted. The very reverse of this is shown, a n d wc , auslitet might affirm almost with certainty, that the sup plies of the year just commenced will, when the time comes round for determiesng the point, present an increase in at least an equal ratio with that which has betm thus far expe rienced by the trade. The Paris Papers received this morning, Inform us that the speculation which haa been for some time in progress in the great cotton mart of France had ruaterielly subsided towards the close of the past week. The letters of kliattirday'a date from Havre, in making this announcement, add, that the comt - dmiien of the market was so completely changed that the parties engagp4 in the traffic had all at once become paralysed as it were, and that there was no where to be seen anything like the eagerness to purchwe which was witnessed among them only a few days since. The publication of the returns from which we have furnished the above aLatrect will, we should hope, have tended to produce a like effect in i.4mshire, where a corrective of some kind is so much more urgently 0010 far. CHRONICLE —ln our City article on Saturday It was stated that " the apprehensions that a critical state of afl,tirs ig at hand (in France) have been much increased by the fact, I `,l:at Laflitte's New Joint-stock Bank has been obliged to ap ply for saccour to the Rank of France, to obtain a loan of many millions of francs, es the only means of preventing a stoppage of payments ;" and that " an immediate crisis WES expected, in consequence of the stoppage of the 13ank of Bel gium." In commenting upon this article, Galignadi'; jlfw senger makes the following statement : " The serious character of this article demands that we should give it insertion, but we cannot do so without adding that it contains gross exaggeration and misrepresentations re, specting the establishment alluded to. Some alarm ocemred on the first arrival of the intelligence of the failure of the Bank of Belgium, but it did not last longer than twenty-four hours. As for the general allusions in the article to the pre tended crisis, financial and even political, said to be approach ing, we may safely leave them to be pronounced upon by every reader really acquainted with the state of this country.--gprroa OF MICSSENOEIt."

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1830. LAW IN TELLIGEN CE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT,JAN. I. THE COMPULSORY CLAUSE. Moses Solomon was opposed on the part of Mr. Long, the detaining creditor. This was the first case under the compulsory clause of the new Act. The insolvent, who had been a fruiterer and an officer to the Sheriff of Middlesex, had been a prisoner from the year 1834 ; he had resided in Blackman -street, within the rules cf the Queen's Bench. A creditor, before the new Act was passed, applied under the Lor ds ' Act, and the insolvent was ordered to file a schedule within sixty days. That law was suspended by the new Act, and M r. Lon g , the opposing creditor, had obtained a vesting orde r, and the insol vent was e.ailPd upon to file his schedule. He had complied with the order so made, and no appeared for exa mi n ation. The insolvent was examined at soree loigt h. It appeared that he had, according to his account, the misfortu ne to pur chase some property for 1,2501. ; h e h a d granted a mortgag e to a Mr. Bousfield, sincp he had been in prison for money ad vanced previonsly ; and also to his daughter, a female named Julia Levi, for 2604 Ile was questioned on the subject, and ci ii 4c o som e tenderness of feeling. ( t he insolvents) step - The court said the evidence of the daughter keeping 200 §overeigns by her was most extraordinary. The insolvent bad madu away with his property, and h e w as adjudged to six months' imprisonment. The insolvent, w ho had been resid ing within the rules, was given into custody' CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. XS IV Or- 1 13 Yesterday William Mills, aged 19, a you ng man of gootepi appearance, was indicted for stealing two bags 4nd fifteen sow t rretgus, the property of William Drake, - from his person. The preeenutor stated that he lives at Shepherd's-bush. About seven o'clock on the ragrning of the 22d of December he was at Newgate Market, when he was swo4n4ed lly Oro well-dressed gentlemen, one of whom was the prisoner: The shorinr one lifted up the arms of witness while the second cut the pocket button fro:4 trowsers, and the prisoner thrust in his hand and " draw'd" his cash. 4s pr4o;'? 9 hp had drawn the bags the prisoner walked slowly away, and witness fel love4 him, and never lost sight of him. Ile made a circuit up whpo he called out, " Tom, bring the ' flat,' the cart's going," he ruin away di;pctly, end witness pursued him so closely that when he got near Mr. Bowles's he leape4 over tt ! rpe flats (hampers), and while taking his "last leap," he attempted to throw away the bag which contained eleven sovereigns, but witness seized him. The prisoner said " You can't suspect me of robbery; look, see how respectable I am."—(The pri soner was array ed in fine linen enough for a Bishop. Joseph 13ates, the superintendent of the watch of the ward of Farringdon Within, stated that while pursuing the prisoner he saw him cast something away, which turned out to be the other bag, containing four sovereigns, which were picked up and handed to witness. The JURY returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner, and the Court sentenced him to ten years' transportation. SURREY SESSIONS, JAN. 1. Yesterday the General Quarter Sessions for the county commenced at the Sessions House, Newington. There was a very full attendance of Magistrates. Mr. R.. HEDGER was called to the chair. The Magistrates were occupied principally with a discussion on the propriety of a relaxation in the prison discipline ‘shich had been conceded to John Young and,Henry Webber, the two young men implicated in the disgusting duel by which Mirfin lost his life. Towards the close of the protracted discussion Mr. Best enlarged on the necessity of having such rules made for the regulation of the gaol as would in future prevent the recurrence of any complaint of this nature, and added that, although lie agreed with the report, and was one of the visiting M a gistrates, yet that lie was of opinion it was not necessary to have made any difference in the diet of the two persons alluded to from the other prisoners. Mr. BEST then moved a resolution to the effect to which he bad adverted, and it was seconded by Lord King ; but on a show of hands the motion was lost. The report was then received, and, after the transaction of some other business, the Court adjourned. POLICE ;NTELLIGENCE. HA7' T ON- GARDEN. Dr. Paine, who, it will be recollected brought an action against Mr. Laing, the Magistrate, was brought up, charged by his brother, with having threatened to horsewhip him. The Doctor suspected his brother of the authorship of some newspaper attacks on his character. On his promise not to use violence towards his brother, Mr. BURRELL order the Doctor to pay a shilling, and he was discharged. OfARLBOROUGFI-STREET. John Pennington, a lawyer's clerk, No. 14, Princes-street, Stamford-street, was brought before Mr. DYER, charged by Mrs. Martin, No. 7, Great Ryder-street, with having impro perly obtained a bill of exchange foe 50/. and a 101. note. The bill, it appeared, was drawn by Mrs. Martin, for the purpose of being discounted. The bill found its way into the prisoner's hands, and as he did not hand over the pro ceeds, on owning that he got the bill discounted, nor return the bill, he was given into custody. Mrs. Martin mentioned that the prisoner was acquainted with Norrington and Sidford, the swindlers, now in Newgate awaiting their trial. Mr. DYER said the evidence was not sufficiently strong against the prisoner, and he must therefore liberate him. MARYLEBONE. DosaTioN.—Yesterday Mr. RA WLINSON, one of the Magis trates of this office, received by post two Bank•notes of 5/. each, inclosed in a letter, for such poor and destitute objects, who from misery and distress may from time to time appear before his tribunal, and who, in his opinion, require assistance. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. From the New London Price Current of last Evening. ) SUGAR—Business in the British Plantation market was re sumed this day ; importers evinced much firmness, and re fused to sell excepting at prices fully equal to those obtained previous to the holidays; buyers, however, evinced very little inclination to do business, and the transactions were limited in both refining and grocery descriptions, the purchases amounting to only 100 hhds and tierces. The Gazette Average Price is now 35s 10d, against 41s 4.1 d in 1837, and 35s 5.-id in 1836. REFINED.—The grocers have purchased sparingly of com mon as %%ell as of the better descriptions of goods, but they have been compelled to pay 75s for Lumps passing, 73s to 74s rather under the standard, and 71s to 72s for common and brown qualities, which are very full prices. The nominal value of double Crushea is 40s. Although Treacle has sold slowly, buyers have been compelled to pay late rates. Bas tards have been taken sparingly, but former quotations have been obtained. Pieces have secured a pretty good demand at former prices. In Dutch Crushed Sugar under 32s 61 to 33s there are no sellers. EAST INDIA.—For Manilla there has been an increased de mand, and about 6,000 bags have been disposed of by private treaty at 22s 6d for good brown quality mixed with damps ; the bulk was taken by the refiners. For Siam full prices are required, but the demand is still limited. Bengal—previous rates have been supported. This afternoon there was less demand for Bengal ; and at the public sales of 3,700 bags, prices gave way Is.; fine white sold at 70s, good :riddling and good 67s 6d to 695, damps 65s 6d to 6; , 5, washed 64s to 65s 6d, good and fine sound yellow 66s 6d to 67s 6d, middling 64s to 665, low brown 533 6d to 545, good 55s to 56s per cwt. M AURITIOS.—The operations have been confined to a few small second hand parcels taken by the grocers at previous Cates: at present no public sale is declared, but cne may be shortly looked for. FOREIGN. —For yellow Havannah there has been some in quiry, the private purchases have been confined to 200 boxes of good strong quality at 28s 6d; for white there is no de mand, and in Brazil full prices are demanded. MOLASSES.—In West India we have few transactions to re port ; prices unvaried. CoFFEE. —For British Plantation of middling and good quality, fully previous rates offered, ordinary and unclean sorts have been taken sparingly. Of East India none has been offered at public sale ; but by private contract there has been a good demand for Ce)lon from the grocers ; 3,000 bags were disposed of last week at very full prices; good a nd fine ordinary brought 965 to 98s, but yesterday buyers were compelled to pay an advance of 2s for small parcels, good ordinary selling at 983; the stock of Mocha being very light occasions holders to require full prices. Foreign is held for fully late rates, but the demand has been limited for St. Do mingo as well as for Brazil ; there is scarcely any of ordinary quality of the latter to be purchased under 41s. This afternoon several small parcels of West India were taken by the grocers at the prices quoted. COCOA.—Business of moment in Foreign is prevented by the short supply. West India as last quoted, but there has been little ; the deliveries, however, have increased. Rum, BRANDY, AND BOLLANDS —For Rum former prices are demanded, but there has been only a limited business doing, and the purchases since our last have been confined to 100 puns Leewards, proofs at 3s 4/d. Brandy is held for previous rates, but at present there are not many buyers. In Geneva, the transactions have been limited, but lower rates have not been accepted. British Corn Spirits as last quoted, but there is less demand. RICE.—The advices from Calcutta representing that the shipments would be small for some time, cause holders here to require full prices for all descriptions of East India ; but there has again been only a limited business doing, good white Bengal is held for 191 a 20g. The stock here is much reduced, and it is now only 25,400 bags against 83,970 in 1838. The arrivals last year were 84,660 bags less than in the former year; for home consumption nearly 5,000 bags less have Leen de livered than in 1837 ; but the export deliveries have increased 7,000 bag!. Carolina has maintained late rates, but the de mand has been limited. SPICES —Black Pepper continues in good request at the rates previously established ; the home trade are still the chief operators: the arrivals have been 8,000 bags under those of 1837 ; the deliveries for home use have exceeded those of 1837 by 1,000 bags, but for export they have fallen off 7,000 bags, and the stock is now 4,127 large and 63,092 small bags, against 2,324 of the former, and 79,100 of the latter at the close of 1837.—Pimento remains neglected, but there are no sellers at lower prices ; the stock, when com pared with that of last year, shows a falling off of 400 bags ; the home deliveries are 600 bags less than in 1837, but the quantity taken for export exceeds that of last year by 6,000 bags ; the import has not been half of what it was last season. In other articles not much has ben done. PuovisioNs.—ln prices of Irish Butter little variation has taken place. The fine descriptions of Dutch have sold steadily, and buyers have been compelled to pay 108 s a 112 s for Friesland and Holstein. Lard in good request. Bacon has maintained its former currency. In the prices of India Mess Beef and Pork there is little change. TALLOW. _The market was quiet last week, and prices gave way to 58s 6d to 58s 9d on the spot for P. Y. C. of first qua lity, but yesterday advises having been received from St. Pe tersburg, stating that 6.000 casks here frozen in the ice, caused the trade to come forward more freely, and since then the demand has been pretty good, and buyers have been com pelled to pay 595. For delivery in the last three months of this year there is still scarcely any business doing, but under 52s there are no sel:ers. Town Tallow lower. o:rms.—A good demand has prevailed for all descriptions of common Fish Oils for home use at prices fully equal to those of last Tuesday. Sperm, at advanced rates. In Linseed large purchases have been made at 295. Rape at advanced rates. Olive is held firmly. East India Cocoa Nut is held firmly at 525. a 535. INDIGO.—The demand for East India in the face of the public sale of 9,198 chests has again been very limited, both fur home use and export. Importers, however, remain firm. NITRATE OF SODA.—Advanced prices have been obtained ; 17s 6d has been paid for large, and 18s for small parcels. SALTPETRE.—There are still ready buyers of rough ; seversl parcels of Calcutta have been disposed of since our last roport at 26s 6d a 28s, according to refraction. British Refined steady.

After the charge had been heard, Mr. BALLANTINE said two cases of embezzlement were made out against the prisoner, and it was his duty to commit him to Newgate for trial. CIRCUITS OF THE COMMISSION.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—The 2d Dragoon Guards have lost eleven horses on their passage from Dub lin to Liverpool. Two troops of the Soots Greys are under orders from Newbridge to Dublin, to form part of that gar rison. Lieutenant Brown, of the 75th Regiment, is ap• pointed to the recruiting department of the Leeds district, vice Lieutenant Black, removed to London.

Another of those daring robberies which have of late become so frequent in public-houses was committed last week at the Star and Garter publicbouse, Black man-street, Borough, between six and seven o'clock in the evening. The plan usually adopted is for one or two well dressed persons to call for refreshments at the bar, and to engage the attention of the persons serving while a confe derate slips up stairs, and plunders the apartments, with the position of which the gang are generally well acquainted. On this occasion Mr. Lu cas , t h e l andlord, was not a t h m qree, but had, previou s t o go i ng out, seen a l arge quan tity of jewellery and so me a ne , . c j sate :in a b ox in his bad. room, the door of which he had double-locked and taken the key with him. At the time owned two men entered the house and began clu.arr o u,g, but after some fete mi nutes appeared In 1 m 6Come r econciled, and slimily after t left, The suddenness of their agreement was the subjr o , wf ,,. 4 entertained that any ro b. of remark, but no su s picioq bery lei been comOt e j, till Mr. Lucas, in going up stairs, ift;.lo tlAe 14d room door open and tho property gone.

FASHIONS FOR JANUARY. (From the World of Fashion Monthly Magazine of the Courts of London and Paris.) HATS.—We may cite among the most elegant a hat of marshmallows lilac velvet; the crown trimmed with short feathers to correspond. They are placed quite drooping on one side ; the interior of the brim is trimmed with cabbage green terry velvet, tastefully intermingled with blond lace; a demi-veil of blond lace, of the most equisitely delicate pat tern, edges the brim. Another hat worthy of notice is of a new colour, mauvre souffre ; the crown is trimmed with two feathers to correspond, and the interior of the brim with ma r.,on velvet flowers. Black velvet hats decorated with dark blue feathers, and the interior of the brim with blue flowers, are also much in request. Another very favourite style of trimming fir black velvet hats is a bouquet of penes of dif ferent colours, placed on each side of the crown • BONNETS.—Satin ones wadded and quilted are a good deal adopted in undress ; the cottage shape is in general preferred ; the bonnet is generally closer in the brim than others. A peculiarly elegant style of bonnet is composed of either black or rich brown velvet ; the interior of the brim is trimmed with a wreath of roses without leaves; they are of various shades, either of red or yellow, but each flower is encircled with blonde illusion. CAPOTES.—The novelty in vogue is the capote a la Duch esse of black crape ; the edge of the brim trimmed with a ruche, and the crown decorated with black lace, intermingled with roses. Light as this coiffure is for the season, it is very much in favour among the elite of our fair fashionables. A small thou of riband is placed at present under almost all the bavolets at the back of capotes ; it raises the bavolet a little— the ends fall upon the neck. PROMENADE Dayss.—The costume the most striking for its noveky and elegance is a black satin shawl glace, and a white satin hat ; it is small, and of the capote form, but witli the brim not so closely cut ; it is entirely covered with gauze, as are also the flowers under the brim; the effect is equally novel and beautiful. The robe is composed of black pou de sole, with black shaded ponceau stripes, and trimmed with two flounces, and surmounted by narrow ponceau rou►eaus. The sleeves are ala chevaliers, and the corsage high, plain, and descending at the waist in a point. MORNING DRESS.—The corsage is made with less fulness than in the summer, but this is owing to the difference of the material, cashmere being substituted for muslin. The sleeves remain the same. Robes de chambre are always wadded, ane• several are fastened down by fancy silk buttons. CLOAKS.—Some have appeared within the last week of very rich silk, shaded in stripes of full colours upon a light ground. EVENING DRESS.—One of those distinguished for its ele gant simplicity is an Indian muslin robe trimmed with a flounce of embroidered tulle ; it is surmounted by two bouillons, one placed immediately above the flouuce, and the-other about half a quarter higher. A broad blue satin riband is drawn through each bouillon, and forms a full knot at the left side, but the the knots are placed in an oblique direction, corsage a la Vierge bordered with a bouillon, the riband farming a knot in the centre of the bosom ; a fall of embroidered tulle is at tached to the bouillon, and descends upon the corsage. Short sleeve, the shortest indeed that we have seen, composed of three bouillons of tulle drawn with ribands, each ornamented with a knot on the outside of the arms; a long floating, cein turc of blue satin riband tied on one side completes the orna ments of this truly elegant robe. EVENING COIFFURES offer great variety; Jewish turbans are in uncommon vogue ; Spanish hats are also in great request; they are of a small size, that is to say, of a small size for that shape, but much larger in the brim than those bewitching' little hats called petit buds; these latter are a very favourite head-dress. Caps, though less generally adopted, are a fa. vourite coiffure with many elegantes. BALL DRESS. —Crape begins to be in great favour for it. Some of the most elegant robes de dense are composed of white crape, spotted with gold ; three pinces, placed at equal dis tances from each other, raise the robe on one side of the skirt ; a bouquet of coquilicots and of gold epis is placed on each side of these pinces, and a corresponding bouquet on each of the short sleeves. The corsage is draped ala Tyrolienne, and the drapery retained in the centre of the bosom by an orna ment of a singularly novel and pretty kind ; it is a small gold bird, set with precious stones. LINGERIE.—The vogue which high dresses enjoy at present is very favourable to the display of fichus, collerettes, &c., and certainly they are now very generally adopted. Fichus of embroidered muslin or lace are as much in request for high dresses as falling collars ; these latter, composed of cambric embroidered in feather stitch, and edged with narrow Valen ciennes lace, are next in favour to point lace collars for elea gent morning dresses. NEW MATERIALS.—Shot silks for half-dress are black with green, cherry, or orange, either strained or figured in small flowers ; one of the most elegant silks of this kind is a watered pou de soie, a granite ground shot with light grey. Dress ma'erials have a light ground, and are figured in very brilliant colours. One of the most fashionable of the new evening dress silks is a new kind of rips called Rochcline ; it has a groe seille ground, with very narrow white stripes. FANS are now made too large to be elegant. Those mounted in ivory, incrusted with gold and turquoises, arc the most in vogue ; paintings, ala Vulteau, are preferred, but some of the Chinese kind are also very fashionable. JEWELLERY.—A great number of bracelets arc united on the wrist ; they are generally very narrow, and covered with pre cious stones ; one of them must have suspended from a chain an elegant smelling bottle, or a ring on the left finger ; ear rings are worn very large. Fast-rum - alas Coeoefts are orange, purple, bishop's violet, crimson, and several shades of green, brown, grey, drab, and rose. A CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—On Wednesday an inquest was held at Aymestrey, on view of the body of a child named Thomas Stokes. By the evidence, it appears that the child was left alone in his lather's house on Satur day, and it is supposed that his clothes caught fire whilst he was playing ; the unfortunate little sufferer lingered until the following day, when death terminated his suffer-. ings.—Hereford Times. --=-- -- - - .. lIIIIIMMI PLATE.—A.
