,VENINO EDITION. MONEY ill A.RKET and CITY NEWS, (TUESDAY EVENING.) POST.—Things were again extremely p issive to day in this part of the metropolis. S ,ro,Flaing has been sai . during the last day or two of ratifier an extensive :orrery having been committed. e -,se is understood to be this :—A foreign gentle man (a Russian) having occasion to travel, left a sum of about 40,0001., 3:1 , per cent. stock, in the hands of trustees, with a power to receive thee dividends during tl e period of his abser:ce. The signature of the pro prietor was necessary, in order to effect the transfer of the stock at the Bank of England. This is reported to have been forged by the trustees alluded to, and the who!e of the proceeds appropriated to a dishonest purpose. Mr. Jaudon has received by the Great Western steamer a bill of lading for five kegs of gold coin, amounting to 120,000/. in sovereigns, which would be forwarded to Europe by one of the first sailing packets leaving the United States. A project has been sent out by some of the leading American firms, recommending for the consideration of the Washington Government, the amalgamation of all the State Stocks into one interest, and the sanction of the same by the general Legislature. The land sales may, it is considered, be properly applied to the liqui dation of the joint-debt, now that the old Government loans have all been paid off. The scheme, though well backed, is not thought likely to be favourably received at head-quarters. HERALD.—The market for commercial discounts continues much the same as when we referred to the subject last, first-rate paper being discounted easily at 6pe cent. per annum. There has not been a very great deal of business in the continental exchanges this afternoon. On Paris they are quoted slightly better, being 25f. 62ic. a 674 c. ; on Amsterdam and Rotterdam they are 12 4 for money, and Antwerp 12 31. Tne quotations upon Hamburg and Frankfort are a shade lower, these may be some what influenced by the large exports of silver for Ham burg within this day or two. On Hamburg the quota tio.i is 13 91 a 10, and on Frankfort 150/ a i. Without the appearance of any speculation the Bri tish Funds have generally improved in the quotations since the closing hours yesterday. As usual, of late, the greater portion of the specula tion on the Foreign Market to-day has centred in the Portuguese and Spanish Bonds. A very curious uraour has been in current circula tion yesterday and to day upon the Stock Exchange, that a most extensive fraud or breach of trust has been committed at the Bank of England by some parties, acting as trustees, selling out stock uniier their trust. It is stated that a Russian merchant, who travels at intervals for a considerable time without returning to England, some time since, previous to leaving this country for an intended very long voyage, placed a large sum of money in the Three and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities in the names of three certain parties, as his trustees, for security. On his return, a short time since, he discovered that 40,0001. Stock had been sold out in his absence by the parties, who now are not to be found. The owner's name must have been forged it is also supposed. These are all the facts that have transpired on this subject ; but the rumour has created some stir in the locality of Capel-court. SUN.—The Forei g n Exchanges were very steady this afternoon, at the following rates :—Paris closed at 25 62} to 25 67} ; Amsterdam, 12 4 ; Antwerp, 12 ; Hamburg, 13 9/ to 13 10 ; and Frankfort 1501 i. In commercial matters we have little of interest to notice, the Tea Sales excepted. Up to this evening 17.300 packages have passed, of which 16,590 packages have been sold, and at prices from Id. to lid. per lb. higher than yesterday. East India Congous have fetched 2s. Bfd. per lb., three months' prompt in Bond. The public sales of Sugar and Coffee announced for this day were postponed in consequence of the den sity of the fog, which prevented the inspection of the samples. There were but slight variations in the Money Mar ket his afternoon. Consols left off at 911 for the Ac count ; Exchequer Bills at 2 discount ; India Bonds at 9 discount, and Bank,Stock at a fall from 179 to 178. EAst India Stock has advanced to 253. - Spanish Stock has been sold currently this afternoon at 25-a, and French Five per Cents. at an advance to 311 f. 50c. Chilian Stock for the Account is quoted at an improvement to 40. Dutch Stock closed heavily, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52i. The Great Western Railway Shares rose this after noon from 11 to 1,0 discount, and London and Birming ham Shares from 51 to 52 prem., and North Midland to 8 discount per share. HORACE VERNET AND MEHE MEI ALI. Extract of a lettsr from the celebrated painter Ho race Vernet, dated Alexandria, Nov. 6, 1839 : " On the 4th instant, at eight in the morning, our vessel anchored in the middle of the fleet. The Com mandant conducted us ashore with the Prince of Wir temberg, whom Count de Medem came and fetched with his carriage. " Our first day was employed in visiting the monu ments, the second in inspecting the fleet and arsenal. The Turco-Egyptian squadron is magnificent, consist ing of .52 large ships of war. We went on board the Turkish and Egyptian Admirals' ships to judge of the difference, which proved wholly favourable to the latter. This morning we were presented to the Pacha. We were introduced into the audience-ball, where the only piece of furniture is a divan, whereupon he sat on his heels. The Consul detailed our names and professions, when the Pacha made us sit down by him, graciously saluting us. We then took coffee, and the conversa tion began, by the medium of his interpreter, who, at the same time he spoke to him, drove the flies away. The interview lasted above an hour. His Highness gave me the most, flattering reception, and asked me for 'a picture of the battle of Nczib. I have received from him the promise, not only of all the firmans neces sary to ensure my safety on the road, but likewise the offer of private letters for the Pachas, with orders to place troops at my disposal in order that I may se curely explore all the parts I wish to visit.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, DEC. 3. (Sittings Nisi Prius before Lord DENMAN.) THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4 W 39. seldom saw Mrs. Lewis sober. I have seen her drink gin before breakfast—a glass every morning before breakfast—and sometimes she was intoxicated between e!even and twelve in the day. I have seen her smoke cia:ars with Capt. Disney in the dining-room ; sometimes sl:e was so tipsy as not to be able to go up stairs, and Captain Disney helped her up stairs. I heard Mrs. L wis asking about Mrs. Ponsford, and Miss Lewis said Madame was gone to live with her husband again, cud that Pocsford had forbid her (Miss Lewis) ever entering her house again. I heard Mrs. Lewis some times speak well of Mrs. Ponford, and at other times very badly—she called her a w---. Mrs. Lewis used to go into the drawing-room among the lodgers when intoxicated. She used to go to sleep there. Captain Disney also insulted me while at Mrs. Lewis's. I told these things in July last. Thomas Latham—l am a carpenter. I was ex amined at the last trial. I accompanied the defendant to Mrs. Lewis's house on the 19th of February, 1838, with two other mon. The witness then detailed the circumstances of the defendant going to Mrs. Ponsford's bod-room. Mrs. Lewis gave him most horrible lan guage, not fit for a lady. Captain Barnes said he would kick Mr. Ponsford down stairs. Captain Mills said he was not Mr. Ponsford at all. Mrs. Ponsford was in clined to go with her husband, but Miss Lewis strongly advised her not, and called him all sorts of bad names. This being the evidence for the defence, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied. Lord DENMAN summed up at great length, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff on all the issues —Damages, One Farthing ! There was considerable contradiction in the swearing, and the trial lasted t►ll past three. The Jury found for the plaintiff to the full amount c►aimlled. INSOLVFNT DEBTOR'S COURT, DEC. 3. D 1%, id Boast. a surgeon, &e., in Rockingham- place, Neyv Kent-road ; was opposed by Mr. NICHOLS, on the pa: tof Mr. Cohen. He was supported by Messrs. COO SE and WOODROFFE. The insolvent had been twice a bankrupt—in 1829, and 1837. His debts were about 3,0001. under the first, and no dividend had been paid. His second bank ruptcy was in 1837, and his debts, with liabilities, were 5,6001. His present debts were 2,5511., of which up w,irds of 2,0301. were renewals and liabilities. The insolvent w ,s sued by Messrs. Cohen, and two promis sory notes were given by a Mrs. Cox. He there passed es Clark, which name he had assumed The COURT, after a long examination, adjourned the case for the insolvent to describe himself by the as sumed name, and to file certain documents. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. The Loan MAYOR, upon taking the chair, said that he had succeeded in making satisfactory arrangements and regulations with respect to the omnibusses, which are henceforward to drive off in a trot from their places in the city, and not any more to linger in the streets, to the great annoyance of the sbopkeers and the He had received communications from the proprietors of the omnibusses which travelled to and from Paddington, informing him of their most ready ac quiscence in his proposition, and expressing the most decided wish that violations of the rule should be punished, and that incivility upon the part of the drivers and conductors should likewise be subjected to exem plary penalties. It was observed that in consequence of the regulation there was no delay in the streets, as far as regared the Paddington omnibusses ; but there appeared to be no change with respect to the Kensington and Chelsea ' omnibusses, which pursued the same dull and torturing course along Cheapside, Ludgate-hill, and Fleet -street, which they have been long accustomed to adopt. The Lord Mayor will no doubt take care that the obligation to move on at more than a snail's pace will, if it can be legally insisted upon, be applicable to all vehicles. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord ABINGER and a Special Jury.) DAVIS V. BROWN. This was an action brought against the Warden of the Fleet Prison for . the esc a p e o f a pr i soner name d Morris, who was in his custody for the sum of 2,6271. Sir F. PoLLocK and Mr. BALL were Counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. ERLE, Mr. PLATT, and Mr. BARSTOW appeared for the defence. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel, that the plaintiff was a furrier resident in Cork. He was in the habit of coming to London to nei.lke purchases of skins, which he got dressed in Ireland at a cheap rate, and re-shipped them on con signment to a person named Alfred Morris, who having dishonoured some bills, Davis came to town, and had him arrested on the 13th of February, 1838. He was taken to Sloman's spunging-house, from which he was The following scene took place in the Justice Room on Saturday, in the absence of our accredited reporter. It is a correct version of what occurred. removed by habeas corpus to the Flet•t on the 15th. When Davis commenced the present action, he was called upon to give security for costs, but as he Mr. Stockdale, who has been single-handed engaged against the House of Commons and the Law Officers of the Crown, shouldered his way towards the Civic Chair. had, in consequence of the default of Morris, failed in business, he was unable to do so ; but his creditors had given the required security in order to save themselves. He would show the arrest and the escape, and it would He had, it seemed, transmitted to his Lordship a letter, of which the following is a copy : Tile Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, &c. &c. (Public.) MY LORD MAYOR—In these palmy days of ruthless, reekles-, despotic, daring, and monstrous usurpation by the self-styled Government and Commons Representa tives in a Reformed Parliament of the whole people of this United Kingdom, in the contemplated marriage of our Sovereign and Virgin Lady, the " KING," I read the names of her Majesty's Privy Council, but do not per ceive in the list of Privy Councillors attending the Lord Mayor. :should your Lordship not have taken a Privy Councillor's oaths, I can have nothing further to say excep- that you ought to have taken them, but should you have in due course, ex qtficio, been sworn and sum moned, I shall greatly regret the want of courtesy evinced by your Lordship's non,...ttendance. It would display no little disrespect to the metropolis over which you preside by the voice of its free, princely, mercantile, and trading interests, and the omission in privilege usurping hands might lead to question the undoubted right of the Lord Mayor to a seat at the Privy Council Board of the Crown of the United Kingdom. Myself about forty years in the livery of this city, and jealous of my rights for the sake of posterity, I feel confident that you, with whom I never held previous communication, except in a case of imperative and glaring Fleet prison charity, will consider this worthy public notice. I have the honour to be, my Lord Mayor, Your Lordship's respectful servant, JOHN JOSEPH STOCKDALE, Gloucester-gate, Regent's-park, Nov. 28, 1839. After the night charges, &c. were disposed of the Lord Mayor held a brief and half private communica tion with Mr. Stockdale, as follows : The LORD MAYOR—You are Mr. Stockdale, I be lieve ? Mr. Stockdale—l am, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR.---I thought so, when I first saw you come in. Mr. Stockdale.— Your Lordship has great pene tration. The LORD MAYOR.—I received a letter from you a short time since. Mr. Stockdale (bowing)—lt was not respecting that I came. The LORD MAYOR.-I will hear you on anything else afterwards ; you thought me guilty of a dereliction of duty ? Mr. Stockdale.—Pardon me, my Lord, I could not suppose such a thing. The LORD MAYOR.—You would not have been singular, several have spoken to me to that effect. Mr. Stockdale.—l regret to hear it. The LORD MAYOR.--I have consulted some of the oldest Members of the Corporation, and they all say that the Lord Mayor being of the Privy Council, is a matter of mere form, and he is never summoned to at- tend it. Mr. Stockdale —lmpossible, my Lord. The LORD MAYoa.—I have consulted a legal ad viser, too, and he is of the same opinion. Mr. Stockdale. He would not be long of that way of thinking if I had five minutes' conversation with him. Mr. Stockdale, we understood, made another ap plication to the Lord Mayor, which did not transpire. but which we learn was rejected. SPORTING EXCURSIONS IN THE ROCKY MouNTAlNS.—Notwithstanding the various interesting books lately published on America, there are still many parts of that vast continent hitherto undescribed, " and this is of them." The author of these two en tertaining volumes, Mr. Townshend, has broken into ntirely new ground, and gives the most interesting account of his travels from St. Louis across the Mis souri territory, over the Rocky Mountains, and away down the Columbia River to the very Pacific itself, which he even crosses to the Sandwich Islands, and back again, retracing very nearly his steps to Phila delphia—a " Sporting Excursion," that throws all others, we ever heard of, entirely into the shade, in which we are let into the Transatlantic mysteries of Buffalo hunting, bear and duck shooting. deer stalking, and salmon and trout fishing, with vivid descriptions of the various Indian tribes on that line. Mr. Townshend is a naturalist and a right pleasant narrator, to boot, of all the wonders he encounters in so novel a journey—affording, entertainment and instruction Equally to the general reader as to the naturalist, and man of science and observation. LABLACHE.—We regret to learn that this great artist is indisposed. Oa Saturady night he was to have appeared in La Cenerentola, but the Barbiere was ,cbstituted, in which Pauline Garcia, Rubini, and Taniburini acted. Nina, by Coppola, is in active re hearsal for Pauline, as it is also at the Opera Comique, where a French version will be given, entitled Eva, for the debut of Madame Manuel Garcia, sister-in-law 01 Pauline. DIARY OF A NUN.—Among the many happy fictions to which our day has given birth, none have been more deservedly popular than those which have taken the Diary form : witness Mrs Jameson's charm ing " Diary of an Ennuyee," and Mrs. Gore's equally attractive " Diary of a Desennuyce," &c. But if the forthcoming " Dairy of a Nun," do not eclipse them all in public favour, then is there less " in a name" than even the fair Capulet herself imagined. If report speak true, the " Diary of a Nun," is a love story of the most exciting and passionate nature ; its scene that home and birthplace of love, Italy ; its persons of that class, who have nothing else to do but love and be loved ; and its writer of that sex and time of life to which love is as natural and necessary as the air we breathe. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR DECEMBER.—By way of gilding refined gold, the attractions of the " New Monthly" are this month heightened by the portrait of Prince Albert of Saxe Cobourg-Gotha. It is a very pleasing portrait, and a very fair likeness. Having paid our devoirs to the Prince, we must address the Potentate who regulates and personally administers to the good things of the Magazine in a literary point of view. The Editor's own paper, " Foreign Morality," is an exceedingly well written article, ending with an excellent story in illus tration of his own view of French morals at the present day. " Madeline," by the Countess of Blessington, is a tale full of interest. The Biographical no tice of Home, the Author of " Douglas," is re newed, and proves more attractive than before. Of Mrs. Trollope's chapters of the " Widow Mar ried," what can we say beyond the assertion that they are fully equal to those which we have already described. " Nothing certain in Life," by Laman Blanchard, disproves its own title, there is something certain in life, and that is the fading a good article where the writer's name is prefixed. More of " Peter Priggius" than that he goes on well we need not say, leaving him for Mrs. Gore's " Oddity of the 17th Cen tury"—a certain Madame Pilau, whose e xcentricities are extremely well described. If to close the year well be a comfort, that blessing is conferred on the Editor of " The New Monthly Magazine." —Morning Herald. We learn that the men are now working double time on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, and that it is expected about thirty-two miles, namely, from 13,omsgrove to Cheltenham, will be ready-to open in February next.—Gloucester Journal.

The proof of the plaintiff was mostly of a formal nature. The arrest was proved, and the departure of the prisoner from Sloman's spunging-house with a tipstaff in a coach. _ _ When a person called at the prison to see Morris in thft evening of the 15th, a turnkey pointed out his room, but o❑ going there he was not to be found. The Warden upon the same evening applied for, and obtained an esc'ape warrant, from Mr. Baron Bolland, and offered 150/. as a reward for the recapture of the prisoner. A vast number of tradesmen in the fur, skin, leather, and glue trade were called, in order to prove that in the years 1835, 1836, and 1837, Davis, the p'aintiff, was in a large way of business, and good credit—his payments had been very regular up to the end of the latter year. It was also proved that during the fur season he had 14 women employed ii making up muffs, tippets, &c. It was further proved that he was in the habit of shipping to Allred Morris and Co , pota . toes, butter, and leather. In December 1837, or the bilinning of 1838, a bill upon Morris for 2981. was re turned, and the plaintiff immediately left for London. The witnesses never heard that Davis was a converted nor that he had on that account received a sub scription to set him up in business. They had never heard that his real name was Goldstein, nor that he had hau his house burned three times. William Le Grand, a Commission Agent, knew Al fred Morris from 1835. He stated to witness that a good business could be done in Ireland. Afterwards witness assisted him in selling potatoes, butter, fruit, &c. He took premises at 14, Broadway, Tooley street. V 4 hen the goods arrived, he sent them to the different markets. He received also four purcheons of whisky, and several boxes of manufactured furs. He considered the business must have produced some pro fit. Witness was present when he was arrested at 22, Dean-street, Tooley-street. At the settlement of that arrest Davis and two solicitors were present, he paid 1501. and costs, and returned.a case of Poplin to Mr. Davis, which was invoiced at 3001., and Morris gave a warrant of attorney for the remainder. Was present when he was arrested on the 13th of February, when going towards Hoxton from the city. Went with him to Sloman's, and went for Mr. Bartlett, by Morris's de sire. He gave orders for his removal to the Fleet. Witness was present when the tipstaff took him from Sloman's. Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—In the Broadway there was a desk and a couple of stools. Could not swear that there was any ledger there — there were three books there, but he would not swear there was a ledger, a cash book, and a bill book. There was a banker's book and a long book, two inches and a half thick. He had goods from some person at Exeter, but he did not know his name. Witness was formerly in the rag trade—he was formerly a sugar baker somewhere in Spitalfields. He was in 1826 in the King's Bench, but he did not put on the garb of a Quaker in order to escape. He did not escape. He walked out one time without leave and walked in again without leave. He did so on several occasions. Had known Raffael for many years, but had not seen him upon the last occasion that he was out He knew Napoleon ---, who also got on the wrong side of the walls. Witness's house was searched for him a month after his escape. He did not know whether he run out or walked out, but he knew he was out without leave. Raffael was also an acquaintance of his When they took the house in Dean street, Morris came there. lie wore a cloak, and his head was bound ap. He did not wear a wig. He did not take off his cloak or uncover his head when Mr. Newman's clerk yips there. Many people were calling for Mr. Morris, some on private business. Never knew Mr. Morris in any other business than in Broadway. He had been once in Morris' house in 1835 ; it was at Peckham, and that was the only occasion he ever was in his house. Plenty of persons had seen them together ; the clerks at the harf ; a gentleman named Mark Foster had seen them together. Foster was a friend of Mr. Raffael. Foster was a general agent, but he did not know where he lived. He knew Raffael, Lewis Stein, or Goldstein, he was called. Davis used to be called Moses Goldstein. He had received the money for all the goods sold ; it was put into the Bank. Raf fael has borrowed money out of it, but there never was a general division of the money. No cheque had ever been handed over to Raffael in his pr Bence. Did not know that Raffael had received 1,0001. out of the produce of these very goods. When L;oing to pay money he did not recollect. going to the Lank of England for gold for notes. Did not recollec; truing one day for 1501. or 1301. sovereigns for gold. He would not swear that he had not ; he could not re collect it. Never saw Davis at Gilson's Coffee-house. When he was arrested witness was with him nearly all the time till he went away in the coach. When he went away witness went to Dean -street, and then to the Fleet Prison, where he expected to find him, but he was not there. Witness had been at the prison on the day when Mr. Sievers came out. He also was a friend of Mr. Raffael's. He could not swear that on the Bth February he, Mr. Raffael, Sievers, and Ab.rahams, were not together in Abra ham'a room ; he could not recollect it. Two excise men called at Dean.street about the whisky, but he 'witness) did not then represent Mr. Morris. Witness did not expect the visit of Cox the officer—it was not arranged that he should call. When he came in he said he arrested Mr. Morris for 1,600/. It was very hkely that he might say that Morris must have a pri s ate room, for he must not be seen by any one. By the JUDGE—Mr. Davis told him that he and Mr. Morris had been seen going up the City-road for ;wo or three days ; it was not arranged with Davis, for he had promised him a handsome sum if he would be tray Morris. cni G p i e o o y r e g d e t F o i t z p g u e r r c a h l d a s , e a b b u u t t t t e e r r, o o p p o e t r a t a o t e sCo, leather, had been and ee spirits, by the plaintiff. Of butter alone he bad shipped 7001., glue over 300/., besides the potatoes and whiskey. • Cross examined—Had never practised disguising Severalpurpo se witnesses of a musing were h before D av i s came to E ng l a nd. He one night put on a bit of f ur as a moustac h e with a fur cap, merely for the "'s oawftenrewhairldrsenc.alled, sad at a little after six o'clock the plaintiff's case was closed. • The Court then adjourned. COMMON PLEAS, Dze. 3. , SEWELL AND CROSS U. THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. (Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury) This was an action to recover 291. under these cir cumstances :—The plaintiffs had been applied to by the Duke to fit up certain of his apartments in Bryanston square, w i t h d amas k h an gings. The estimate was for 100/. ; and some extras were subsequently agreed to, which came to a few pounds more, But the Duke not approving of the way in which the hangings were arranged, directed it to be altered, and made something after the fashion of the old ga t eway i n St. Joh n ' s , Cl er k enwe ll. The plaintiff alleged that this was a total alteration of design, and justified a further demand of 291. On the other hand, the defendant affirmed that the original azreement was for a Gothic kind of hanging. and that it was by the awkwardness of plaintiff's workmen, deviating from this design, that the additional expense was incurred.

SUGAR. --There was little inclination manifested on the part of either grocers or refiners to purchase British Plan tation Sugar last week, and although the merchants submitted to a reduction on previous rates of Is for brown and low yellow, and 6d for good and fine sorts, still the demand was very limited, the pur chases amounting to only 800 hogsheala and tierces ; Jamaica good yellow at 655, middling grey 60s to 61s, St. Kitts good middling yellow 635, Grenada and Dominica middling grey 60s to 61s per cwt. The arrivals have been on a small scale since we last wrote, still they have exceeded those of the corresponding period of last year, and the deliveries not being equal to those of 1838, the surplus in the comparative stock has increased. liaribmo.—Standard Lumps selling at 77s to 77s 6d, and brown Lumps at 75s to 76s per cwt ; goods are more plentifid. Pieces have maintained previous rates ; Bastards on lower terms; goods sorts have fetched pre vious quotations. Treacle of common quality 31s per cwt Patent and the best old make 33s to 35s per cwt. For bonded Loaves refiners have submitted to rather lower rates to sell small parcels, for lOlbs 37s 6d, and for 141bs 36s have been accepted. Treacle 13s 6d, there are buyers to some extent 3d under that figure. Bastards and Pieces on former terms. For Crushed Sugar 34s 3d to 343 6d has been paid for several parcels, deliverable in two and three weeks ; Dutch is offered at 32s 6d, deliverable at Amsterdam, at which 150 hhds have been sold. To-day there was little demand for Refined goods from the grocers, but in prices there is no change. Bonded Crushed sells steadily at 34s 3d to 34s 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS.—The operations by private contract have been limited, particularly in ordinary descriptions, but lower prices have not been submitted to ; 248 bags at auc tion, however, sold cheap, viz. good strong brown at 54s to 565, low yellow 60s per cwt. There has been a small arrival of the new crop, and another is near at hand. EAST INDlA. —Manilla has been in good request by private contract, principally for Rileing here, and previous rates have been fully supported ; nearly 4,000 bags have been disposed of at 21s to 21s 6d for low yellow, and at these rates the merchants are not anxious to realise. Siam has brought previous rates, and there has appeared a fair disposition to do business, but the demand has been restricted, in conse quence of the short supply. Java has been disposed of to a fair extent by private contract on former terms, fair middling white haa fetched 26s per cwt ; the grocers are in want of Bengal, and have paid previous rates ; 1,100 bags at public sale fetched 64s to 67s for fine yellow to good middling white, damps and washed 61s 6d to 64s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN. —For common and soft qualities of Brazil, there are not many buyers, but the better descriptions of white as well as brown have been sought after, but large purchases have been prevented, in consequence of the small supply, and the parcels disposed of have been at previous rates. For white Havannah there are still few buyers, and parcels could be bought on easier terms : yellow however has been in good request, particularly strong sorts ; the private purchases have amounted to 800 chests at 24s to 27s for low to good strong quality. Moaassas.—West India are not to be bought on easier terms, but the operations have been limited, fine Antigua has fetched 35s 6d, and fair St. Vincents 33s per cwt.

For export there arc few orders for Brandy, the home trade buy sparingly, and confine their purchases to good brands, which com mand previous rates; common kinds may be bought on easier terms. Geneva has b-en in good request, and prices have slightly improved ; good quality has brought 2s 2d per gallon. In British Corn Spirits large purchases have been made at the rates quoted. COFFEE.—British Plantstism of clean quality has been sought after, and the prices offered are equal to those paid last Tuesday ; unclean kinds are held for former rates; there 1)::s been no public sale. In the value of East India sorts little variation has occurred ; Java 74s to 76s for fine ord pale: at auction 1,000 bags, principally bulked, fetched 72s to 73s 6d for bold pile ; other kinds at 74s to 755. For Brazil of clean quality 53s to 60s has been paid by private contract for small parcels of good and flue ord ; holders however do not appear disposed to part with thou , on lower terms. Ceylon, subject to the 6A duty, sold at fair market rates, but lower than the last auction ; good ord green fetched 99s to 99s 6d, good ord pale 99s 6d to 100'. one lot 100 s ad per cwt. Whicha in small I:ts have commanded previous rates.

TRA.-1E being the general o pinion of mercalitile men that Government have aunt out directions to Admiral Maitland, to blockade the Port of Cant , n, or if they have not done so it is their intent:on ; which sh , old this prove to be the case, trade will probably rurnain suspervied for some time; under these circumstances an incr eased desire on the part of dealers as well as speculators to purchase Tea has been manifested, and at the close of last week, and early yesterday morning, extensive sales were made in all descriptions, at advanced rates. To-day there vvas an increased inclination manifested on the part of the trade and others to purchase Tea at the sales ; the demand was very animated for all de.. scriptions, and nearly the whole passed auction was taken with avidity at Id to 4d per lb above yester. day's Imperial, good middling 4s 4.1 to 4 3 6d ; Pric Co es n4ou of common and blackish leaf kinds 2s 74d to 2s lld ; Pekoe flavour 3s Oid ; Twankay, com mon 2s 10Id to 2s llid; Gunpowder 3s B€l to ss, fine 5s 114 d to 6s Cid ; Hyson, common 3s 4d to 3s 6d, mid dling 4s to 4 s 4d; Caper, low and middling 2s 7d to 2s 9ed ; Hyson Ski n , goo d 3 s 2id per lb.

The will and codicil of the Right Hon. Sir J. vaugban: late of Eastbury Lodge, in the county of Hertford, !Ind_ of the Regent's Park, in the county of Middlesex, in t: one of her Majesty's Justices of the Court Of CLu ru ° rt Pleas, has just been proved in the Prerogative of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in Doctors'-comT9nds: by the Right Hon. Lord St. John, Henry Bailor Esq., and Henry Halford Vaughan, Esq ., his son, the executors. The property of the decease d has been sworn under 12,0001., which he has bequea thed to his family. The will is dated in 183.5. His LordshipJobn, married, Dec. 20, 1803, the Hon. Augusta St. John,. second daughter of Henry, 12th Lord of St. John of Bletso, by whom he had issue, and after whose demise he remarried, Aug. 4, 1823, the present Dowager Lady St. John, mother of the present Peer. A correspondent of the Derbyshire Chronicle states that on Wednesday last the body of Ann John son, of Duckmanton, who has been dead 10 or 11 years, was interred in Sutton Church-yard. The deceased had a very peculiar disease—indeed a disease of so extraordi nary a character, that the medical faculty were desirous of securing the body. The friends of the deceased, in order to frustrate the attempts of the agents, preserved the body until Wednesday last, when it was interred. SINGULAR CASE.—On Monday an inquest was held at Mr. Mann's ale and beer brewery, Mile-end turnpike, before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, upo n the body_ of Thomas Marryatt, who was found drowned i n one of the ale vats of the establishment on Friday morning last. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, who had lately lost his wife, who died in her confinement and that be en with her first child, which is still living, nbad since been observed to be very melanclol a distressed state of mind. On Thursday, a y even i ng the body of the deceased was found in the vat. Some ficulty arose in getting the body out, from the powerfe ' effects of the carbonic acid gas engendered by the fer meriting liquor, and one man was nearly suffoca ted nd oftin the attempt, but at length a piece of cord was attached to the legs, and the body was drawn out. The Jury considered that there was little doubt but that the de ceased had let himself into the vat to destroy life, but there being no evidence to that effect, they returned a verdict of " Found drowned" in that situation. By the orders of Mr.plann the ale was immediately allowe, to run off into the common sewer. THE RIVAL WESTERN LINES IN SCOT, LAND.—Considerable discussion is now going on in the north respecting the western lines into Scotland. Tw o have heen proposed from Lancaster to Carlisle, one by way of Whitehaven, over Morecombe Bay, and along the coast to Maryport, to join the Maryport and Carlisle Rail way ; and the other an inland line from the North Union Railway at Preston, by Penrith to Carlisle. The easier gradients are no doubt by the coast line, but then the embankment for ten miles over Morecombe Bay, and two more over Dutton Sands, exposed to all the fury of the Western Ocean, is a most formidable under taking. There appears also to be 90 miles of railway to make instead of GO by the inland line. On the other hand the works of the inland line are reported to be h-avy, and the country far from easy. It is true there may be only 60 miles to make, but if these 60 ar e inure intractable and expensive than the 90, and more dif ficult to work after being made, nothing may be Vi ne " by the shorter distance. The whole question of pr e ,; ferenee will then turn upon the time saved by the 3 ' miles less, the expense of the two lines, and the relative advantages of the intermediate traffic. We confess we have not data enough before us to determine the quets; tion of preference, and we are exceedingly unwilling hazard an imperfect opinion. One of the l ines, we Pre: some, will be made, but we think great caution shouldr he be exercised in the selection. Very little doubt in ou mind exists that which ever line obtains t Parba• mentary sanction, will command traffic to insure an am" ple return for the outlay.—Railway Magazine.
