SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Committee on the Carlow Election have una nimously acquitted Mr. O'Connell. For this our readers were of course prepared by the evidence which has been published. " I beg leave," said Mr. Ridley Colborne, the Chairman, on moving that the report and the evidence be printed— " I beg leave to make one short observation—namely, that this is the unanimous opinion of the Committee—and let me add, Sir, that this unanimity is not attended with any sacrifice of principle, or any compromise of opinion, but that it is the result of a full and fair deliberation upon the subject. lam very desirous to state the fact of this una nimity existing ; because I think it cannot fail to have its weight with this House and the country, and also because I believe it may tend to prove that eleven gentlemen may meet trgether on a subject somewhat difficult and delicate, and yet, their deliberations being of a judicial nature, have no difficulty in laying aside all their party feelings." But the acquittal of Mr. O'Connell is the con demnation of that poor, shuffling, equivocating creature Raphael, and the parties to whom he lent himself. No honourable man, however opposed he may be to Mr. O'Connell in politics, can peruse the evidence, in which one fraudulent suppression after another is brought to light, without feeling the keenest indigna tion at the base arts resorted to with a view to injure him. As to Mr. Raphael, his evidence will stamp his character for life. How a man, not without cun uincr, though weak and undecided, could suffer him selfmto believe that the real facts of the case would not transpire, and that the calumny would not recoil on himself, is to us surprising. Admitting that he was the dupe of abler individuals than himself, who may have buoyfd him up with the, prospect of success, still he knew the facts of the case, and be acted therefore against his own conviction. Whether he be capable of feeling the disgrace he has brought upon himself we know not. The back is often fitted to the burden, and the ex-Sheriff may be able to bear what would sink another to the earth. 'We will answer for it, it will no longer be necessary to give to any one the caution which was given to Mr. O'Connell, and which he neglected. His character is permanently established ; so that, with out he change his name, he will be in the precise situa tion which was felt as so great an inconvenience by Colonel Charteris. Many of our readers may wonder that the Committee, having beeno f unanimouand recoms in acquit ting Mr. O'Connell, did not g arther, - mend proceedings against his miserable accus e r , for whom, from his false evidence, they must have felt the utmost contempt and indignation. But the trial of Mr. Raphael formed no part of the instruction to the Committee. They were unanimous in acquitting Mr. O'COnnell, and this is as much as could reasonably have been expected from a mixed tribunal of Liberals and Tories. However, the scorn of the public will be an effectual substitute for any sentence which the Com mittee could have pronounced against the ex-Sheriff. Mr. Raphael's fate ought. to be a warning to men not to lend themselves to conspiracies, for further ing party objects—the burden of the failure of which must be borne so unequally. The Tories may be disappointed at the result ; but it has prostrated the wretched Raphael. He is their scape-goat. The accusation was trumped up last autumn, when incendiaries were sent on a mission through the country to revive religious animosi ties, and to inflame one half of the population with hatred against the other. The "No Popery" cry re sounded throughout the land ; and as Mr. O'Connell had supported Ministers, the Tories thought, if they could combine with hatred towards the Catholics the odium of a charge against O'Connell of selling his in fluence in the county of Carlow for a round sum of money, the Administration might lose ground in con sequence. Two or three elections which the Tories gained revived in them the hope of getting possession of the Government, before it could be strengthened by the Municipal elections. In an evil hour for himself, Mr. Raphael suffered himself to become the tool of the Tory agitators. Ills case was a god-send. A run was instantly made against the personal character of Mr. O'Connell. The base 'Times, always eager for victims, and ready with its " brickbats and blud geons " for the " brutes and bigots " of the Peers, or the bloody Papists, gladly lent itself to the conspiracy for the destruction of Mr. O'Connell's character. Raphael was quite a God-send. Seventy eight articles full of vulgar malice and foul misrepre sentations of the contract between Mr. Vigors and Mr. Raphael and Mr. O'Connell, who was merely called in as a stakeholder, as being a gentleman in whom both had confidence, appeared in the columns of that paper. The Press was never tarnished by any thing so disgraceful as this unprincipled attempt to excite odium against an individual. Mr. Raphael has irretrievably lost himself ; but despised as he now is by the Tories, whose turn he has not served (if he had, he would still have been despised, for men profit by the treason and hate the traitor), and loathed by all honest men, he ought to atone to the public for the insult offered to it, by contributing to the unmasking of the conspirators. We know the parties to the conspiracy. We know the Tories with whom he recently associated, and who concocted with him this precious plot. They may rest assured that light will be let in on them. They have had it all their own way for six months ; but the tables are turned now. Painful and humiliating as the ex posure must be, they must prepare for it. They must suffer the consequences of lending themselves to a wil ful misrepresentation of the arrangement between Mr. Vigors and Mr. Raphael, in order to destroy Mr. (Mound. No calumny is more odious than that which is founded on circutnstances partly true, for the proof of what is ti ue leads to the inference that what may not he proved, but which nevertheless is not dis proved, may also be true. Now what arc the facts in this case ? The accusation was that Mr. O'Connell trepanned Raphael into the Carlow contest—that he had a sinister interest in the pecuniary arrangements— that he entered into engagements which he did not per form—and that the bargain was a breach of the statute law, and a violation of the Sessional Orders of the House, *securing freedom and purity, of election. The Report and evidence distinctly prove, that fOr twelve months previously Raphael had been playing " fast and loose with the Carlow Liberal Club that he selected Mr. O'Connell as his friend to hold the money for which he had agreed with Mr. Vigors—that Mr. O'Connell faithfully applied the money received by him—that not a farthitmg was ilk gally or uncons:itutionally e xp e nd e d, and that Raphael, Out Mr. O'Connell, disgraced him self in the business. Our readers will not fail to re collect that, as we have already stated, the Times first gave currency to the slander, and we shall hereafter unmask the base conspiracy which has been got up by three individuals, the scene of whose operations with Mr. Raphael was the house of a Tory Peeress. They will find to their cost that O'Connell is not to be crushed by vulgar scribblers, or a patty clique ; and we are much mistaken if the blows aimed at him be not paid back with interest. In the meanwhile we repeat the advice of Mr. Ridley Colborne, " if the country will read the evidence, they cannot fail to arrive at the same conclusion as the Committee." With this advice we leave Mr. Raphael and his assis• tants to reflections which few will envy.—Morning Chronicle. The Committee on the O'Connell-Raphael affair presented its Report yesterday to the House of Com mons—a Report in anticipation of which the friends of Mr. O'Connell have been exulting for several days. This report was listened to by the House in solemn silence. Even the tail had not the courage to attempt to get up a cheer Upon the occasion. The report certainly affords no occasion of triumph to the O'Con nellites, nor, we may add, to anybody else. It is, in truth, a very barren production, concocted, probably, with the v i ew of affording a triumph to neither party, and thus far eminently successful. The minutes of evidence which the Committee has laid upon the table of the House are of infinite value, but the observations of the Committee upon that evidence arc plainly of no value whatever, inasmuch as the observers have thrown much the larger and more important part_of the evi dence clean overboard. So incomplete and inconclu 'l6 ' a document as this Report, we ventur e , con fid ent l y , ~,.> ( ,was never before presented to eith er H ouse ~, , , " JA ' 1 , 6 . it ent. Let us, forgetting for the present, tl-, e ,k C * -- •,/Aiftt4eit `omission of all allusion to the most innyor -4,-;7.2„,7:te If the case, examine a little the cohr jr ' . ETV ' V. of the observations actually given. "It appears, - slys the Committee, " that Mr. O'Connell addressed a letter to Mr. Raphael, dated the lst of June, 1835, which contained an agreement for the payment of 2,0001., as.a condition of his election for the repre sentation of Carlow. The Committee cannot help observing, that the whole tone and tenour of that let- ter was calculated to excite much suspicion and grave animadversion." So far the Itgport is distinct and intelligilb enough. Let us now sec how " the sus picion and grave animadversion" which, in the judg ment of the Committee, " the who!e tone and tenour of Mr. O'Connell's letter was calculated to excite," are. got rid of. " But," continues ,this logical Committee, " upon a very careful inves tigation of what had previously taken place be tween Mr. Raphael, Mr. Tyrrell, Mr. Vigors, and others of the county of Carlow, they feel bound to add, that it was proved to their satisfac tion that Mr. O'Connell had acted on this occa sion at the express desire of Mr. Raphael, and was only the medium of communication between Mr. Vigors (actin► on the part of others in the county of Carlow) and Mr. Raphael." We wish the Committee had told the House a little more clearly what it intended to convey by this unmeaning " but." Can it be meant to Intimate that the grounds of " much suspi cion and grave a nimadversion" were removed by the discovery that Mr. O'Connell had acted at the express desire of Raphael, and was only the medium of com munication between the latter and Mr. Vigors ? is the representation of counties to be put for sale at 2,0001. a seat, and the parties or agents in this u nconstitutional traffic to be let off in considera tion of such facts as these ? Would the Com mittee have us understand by its extenuating " but" that Mr. O'Connell's letter which would have been a subject of " much suspicion and grave animadversion, had nothing further been known, becomes innocent and laudable the moment Mr. O'Connell is found to have been the tool of Ra phael and Vigors ? Or can the Committee, in the face of O'Connell's whole correspondence, in the face of his entire conduct, in the face of his con stant assumption that the success of the candi dates depended altogether upon his patronage, in the face of his notorious position and character, hope to make the House of Commons or the country believe that Raphael and Vigors were not the tools of O'Con nell, but O'Connell really and truly the tool of those Gentlemen ? The most silly, desperate, and con temptible of all imaginable attempts to whitewash Mr. O'Connell is certainly that of describing him as any thing less than a principal in the transaction. The concluding passage of the Report is limited to the general statement, that Mr. O'Connell did not keep back the money he had received from Mr. Raphael—when it was wanted for the expenses of the election—that the money was expended in the county of Carlow under the direction of Mr. Vigors and others, and that the manner of its expenditure is not shown to have been illegal. We submit that this leaves the case precisely where the Committee found it. It has never been pretended that Mr. O'Connell actually gained money by his traffic with Mr. Raphael. The charge against him was and is that he acted as a man would act who intended to gain money by such a transaction, and as a man not in tending to gain money could not have acted. That Mr. O'Connell was disappointed does not in the least alter the original character of the transaction. Why but in contemplation of money-making was Raphael to pay 1,0001. " merely for being nomi nated ?" Why but in contemplation of money-making was Raphael required to pay an additional 1,0001. in the event of being returned, an event which did not, in its nature, imply a necessary, or even so much as a probable, increase of the expense of the election ? We marvel that the Committee could help observing also the " whole tone and temper of the letter" offering the Baronetcy, " was calculated to excite much suspicion and grave animadversion." This the Committee should certainly have said, had it only been for sake of dis playing its logical dexterity and its enlightened can dour in the shape of some convenient and extenuating " BUT."—Morning Post. It will be seen from the proceedings in the House of Commons last night, that the Committee upon the Carlow Election gave in their brief Report to the House upon the subject which they had been ap pointed to investigate, and that in that Report they thoroughly and completely exonerate Mr. O'Connell from the charge of personal dishonesty —or, in other words, a personal application of funds destined for the promotion of a public purpose. In so far we believe that they have done well. Strongly opposed as we have invariably been to the tortuous policy and brutal language so frequently used by the Agitator, we not only never dreamed for an instant that he had dipped his hands in the Raphael bag for his own private purposes, but, on the contrary, most strenu ously defended him against the attacks of those who insinuated that it was his intention to appropriate a part of the 2,000:- paid into his hands by Raphael to such use ; and we are glad that the Committee of Inquiry have, after a painful investigation, come to the same conclusion. Still, we cannot help remarking that Mr. O'C onne ll' s b es t w it s seem t o have deserted l him with regard to the extra money paid by Mr. Raphael. Hi.s bargain with that gentleman was, that he should not only be elected, but held harmless of all further expenses, and his seat rendered secure for the sum of 2,0001.: the result was, that Raphael was ejected on very proper grounds, and that he had to pay, in a vain endeavour to maintain his position, upwards of 1,0001. more. Mr. O'Connell having thereby failed in fulfilling his contract, ought imme diately, as the smallest atonement for his failure, to have returned the additional maney to Raphael ; and had he done so, his honour in the affair would have remained pure and intact from malig nant observation ; whereas, what does he do ? He first insinuates the expectation of a baronetcy, as if to 'save himself from the fulfilment of the rash bargain into which he had entered, and then pro poses an arbitration in a matter which, if the terms of the original letter be worth anything, cannot be a mat ter of arbitration at all. Now, we say, that in doing these things, Mr. O'Connell has sadly departed from his usual tact—we will not add discretion—and com mitted himself with his friends and. the public in a manner which they cannot forget. Of Mr. Raphael's conduct in the matter, no one can by possibility ap prove. It has been mean in the extreme ; but the meanness of one party cannot excuse the meanness of another. If Raphael would have his " pound of flesh," Mr. O'Connell ought to have been on his guard, and treated his customer accordingly. The whole affair is exceedingly disgraceful to the parties concerned, and by no means creditable to a Reformed Parliament.—Morning Advertiser. The public, as well as Parliament itself, ought to feel indebted to Mr. Young, the Member for Tyne mouth, for having called attention to a practice which is calculated to stultify and reverse the labours and inquiries of its Committees. Many of our readers may not he aware that it has long been the practice to send to witnesses examined before Committees copies of the short-hand writer's notes, with the view of ena bling them to correct any mistakes which the rapidity of the note-taker may have unavoidably led him into. Thus far the practice and the object are laudable enough. But the abuse which it has led to was never contemplated,and will, we trust, be no longer tolerated. Not contented with the opportunity thus afforded of correcting errors, witnesses have been constantly in the habit not only of remodelling, their language, but in many instances of reversing their testimony. On nu merous occasions negatives and affirmatives have been substituted for each other ; and Committees have actually bad to report upon evidence which, when printed., has turned out to be widely different from that which, they have heard, and as such by no means bear ing ceut the inference which they have drawn from it. We .. lknow too well the dan ger we s h ou ld run i n ad vat ow with the freedom we should otherwise do to the ins mice brought forward_ by the Hon. Member for tnemouth ; and shall be contented, if an abuse so lc,ng existing ; be after this exposure nu longer per 'xitted.—Mornin: Herald. 1 meeting on the subject - ,, stem, in St. Cle -stris has bees It was stated, at a parochia, . of the introduction of the new Poor,lavr ment Danes vestry, on T ues d ay, that 14aqame v,, proposed as one of tho candidate guardianii THE SUN, LONDON SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1.36 REPORT OF THE SELECT DOM MITTEE ON THE CARLOW ELECION.

COMMITTEE-Mr. Ridley Colborne, Lord Francs Egerton, Mr. Bannermin, Mr. Barneby, Sir Ronald Feguson, Sir John Garde Buller, Mr. Ord ( Newcastle), Sir Chwles Broke Vert, Mr. Warburton, Sir Eardley Wilmot, and Mr. Henry George Ward ; and Sir F. Pollock and Mr. Sergeant Wilde were nominated to serve on the said Conunttee to exa mine witnesses without the power of voting. REPORT. It appears to your Committee that the subjectmay be ar ranged under two heads, the first as relating to my traffic or agreement between Mr. Raphael and Mr. O'Comell, for a seat in Parliament, and the second as to the application of the sum said to have been given. It does not appear to your Committee to be ncessary for them to enter upon any detailed summary of the eiidence, but they feel it their duty to draw the attention of the House very briefly to the main points as they bear upon the question. It appears that Mr. O'Connell addressed a lever, bearing date Ist - of June, 1835, in which the agreement fir Mr. Ra phael's return for the county of Carlow for 2,000 f. was con eluded ; the Committee cannot help observing tha the whole tone and tenor of this letter were calculated to excite much suspicion and grave animadversion ; but they must aid that upon a very careful investigatien, it appeared that previous conferences and communications had taken place between Mr. Raphael, Mr. Vigors, and other persons connected with the county of Carlow, and that Mr. O'Connel vas acting on this occasion at the express direction of Mr. Raphael, and was only the medium between Mr. R. and Mr. V. and the Political Club at Carlow. It appears that the money was placed to Mr. O'Connell's general account at his banker's in London. - It was, however, advanced, the moment it was called for, to Mr. Vigors; and though some of it was paid in bills, the discount was allowed: the amount, therefore, was available whenever wanted, and no charge of pecuniary interest can he attached to Mr. O'Connell. It appears also that this money had been expended under the immediate direction of Mr. Vigors, and others connected with the county of Carlow, in what may be called legal ex penses, or so unavoidable, that your Committee see no reason to question their legality • and that the balance was absorbed in defending the return Of Mr. Raphael and Mr. Vigors be fore the Committee appointed to investigate, on the 28th July, 1835.

John Lanney, a youth in the employ of Yates, the un stamped newspaper publisher of Bride-lane, was yesterday charged by Forrester and Goddard, the police-officers, with carrying twenty-eight quires of a work called the New Weekly True Sun. The officers were standing in St. Martin's-le-Grand yes terday morning, when they observed the prisoner with a lame bundle about to enter the Bull and Mouth coach offile. They stopped him, and he at once admitted that the parcel consisted of unstamped newspapers. It was di rected to Mr. Hayward, of Oldham -street, Manchester. In reply to the question of the Magistrates the prisoner said he had often taken parcels to the coach-office. Some were for Manchester, others for Birmingham, Sheffield, Chatham, &c. Ald. &HOLEY appeared surprised that the circulation was so great, and added that enough of them were distri buted to poison the minds of half the country. The officers did not press for a conviction, but the Al derman remanded him, that the opinion of .the Commis sioners of Stamps might be obtained. Janie: Webber, porter to Hetherington, and G. Ails worth, a respectable-looking man, were charged with carry ing thirty quires of the Twopenny Dispatch, dated for next Sunday. Ballard, Shackell, and Davis saw the prisoners walking down Fleet-street with a sack each, and knowing Webber, they searched the sacks, and found thirty quires. Ailsworth was not aware of the contents of his sack. He had merely taken it as a job. Webber was remanded, and the other discharged. MARLBOROUGH STREET.

JOHN MU RR AY, lecturer on chemistry, Nicolson-strect, Edin burgh, March 18 and April 2, at two, at tho Old Signet Hall, Royal Exchange. A letter from Berlin says—" Afetnale, who had been housekeeper to a late Minister for Foreign Affairs, car ried on a lawsuit against the inheritors of his property, to which she claimed to be entitled, but lost her cause, and became so involved by the expenses, that she was imprisoned for debt. On a sudden she was missed, and for a month escaped discovery. At last she was recognised in the uniform of a grenadier, and taken back to her prison, after being obliged to lay aside her military garb and resume her petti coats and cap." EARTHQUAKE IN HUNGARY.—The Austrian journals give the following account of the natural phenomenon already briefly adverted to, which occurred near Lake Platten: —Szolos Gyork, Feb. 10.—Yesterday morning we had a heavy fall of snow, so much so that, by mid-day, the snow was one foot and a half deep. Meanwhile, the roaring of the waters of Lake Platten was frightful, and the waves rose to a great height. Towards mid-day the lake became calm, and a strong, south wind then suddenly setting in, quickly annihilated the great masses of snow under which many cattle had been buried, but were now partly rescued. This was followed, about three o'clock in the afternoon, by a terrific thunder-storm, accompa. riled by a violent tempest intermingled with a drizzling snow, during which a man, who was going to a neighbouring forest, and two others who were sitting at their own fire-sid e , were s truck by the lightning. Towards five o'clock all seemed to be over, not the slightest atmospheric movement was observable, when, on a sudden, a great subterraneous noise, which was immediately succeeded by a violent earthquake, terrified all the inhabitants, who fled from their dwellings. Several houses were rent, and others thrown down. The lake Platten, 20 miles square (German) in extent, was, and is still, covered with a dark mist; in many places the water appears to bubble, as if it were boiling, and, what is very remarkable, several dead fish were last night cast ashore. But what is worse than all that has yet been related, is the fact that the inhabitants of the valleys Latizang and Triz, together with their flocks, are compelled to leave their homes, because those places, since the earthquake of yesterday, have become completely over spread with a thick foetid vapour ; and in the plain flames are seen to arise from the earth. We are in the greatest conster ' nation here ; the lake is again much agitated to-day (nine o'clock in the morning) and the waves swell to an irnmens• height.—Frankfurter, 0. P. A. Zeituny.

SPANISII SLAVE Tit:Am.—Lord Palmerston's Bill for car• rying into effect a treaty made between his Majesty and the Queen Regent of Spain for the abolition of the Slave Trade, recites the treaty, states the ratification of it to have taken place in August last, and declares the expediency of carrying the provisions into effect. For this purpose it is proposed, among many other enactments, that the following shall become law : Officers, not below the rank of Lieutenant of the Royal Navy, commanding ships of his Majesty, or of the Queen of Spain, being duly authoriied, to have power to visit and search merchant ships within certain limits. All ships and vessels belonging wholly or in part to his Majesty's subjects, which shall be suspected upon reasonable grounds of being engaged in the traffic in Slaves, or of having been fitted out for that purpose, are hereby declared to be, and made subject to, search and detention by British or Spanish vessels of war, subject to adjudication and to condemnation by the judges and arbitrators of the mixed Courts. His Majesty may appoint judges and arbitrators to decide cases of detention. His Majesty may appoint a secretary or registrar to the mixed Court. Persons givinn false evidence deemed guilty of perjury, and punishable accordingly. A bounty is proposed for every man, woman, and child slave , seized either on board a British or Spanish vessel. SHETLAND SEAMEN'S FUND.—On the 3d inst. was ordered to be printed a Bill to amend an Act to enable certain seamen belonging to Shetland to pay certain sums of money payable under that Act to the seamen's fund at Lerwick. SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND).—AS the Acts which have before been passed have been found inadequate to the purposes then contemplated, inasmuch as one close time is not suitable for all the Salmon Fisheries and rivers throughout Scotland, it is proposed by Mr. P. Stewart's Bill to amend the 9 Geo. 4., for the preservation of the Scotch Salmon Fisheries. The titles of the clauses will indicate the objects proposed. 1. No Salmon Fishings during close times specified in sche dule ( A.) which is annexed to the Act. 2. For the observance of Saturday's slap. 3. For the regulation of Cruives. 4. Regulation of sluices of mill leads. 5. For the removal of dams and obstructions. 6. Inspector may examine Cruives, &c. 7. Appointment of Inspectors. 8. Duties of Inspectors. 9. Expenses of Inspectors. 10. Provision as to angling with the rod. 11. Penalty on not returning to the water salmon caught by anglers in close time. 12. Meetings of proprietors to assess themselves for ex penses. RIVER SHANNON. -By the return recently laid upon the table of the House relating to the instructions given by the Lords of the Treasury to the Commmissioners for the Im provement of the Shannon, we perceive that the Commis sioners were appointed by a Minute, dated 24th November, 1835, which was received in Dublin on the 30th of November, and that the Five Commissioners assembled, and sworn in ac cording to the Act of Parliament, and proceeded with the service on the 9th December. Several meetings on the busi ness took place between 30th November and 9th December, of the different Commissioners as they arrived by degrees in Dublin. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

SUGAR.-The Market for West India Muscovades has been almost at a stand still this week, owing to the large quantities of Mauritius Sugar which are now being pressed forward for public sale, the holders being anxious to realize at the present high currency, and several ships having been entered at the Custom-house from Demerara and Jamaica, conse quently there has been but little business ; the importers show great firmness, and will not submit to any great reduction. This day at the conclusion of the Market the estimated sales of West India Muscovades and 500 hhds. and trs., at a general reduction in the prices of 6d. a Is. per cwt. during the week. There is but little doing in refined ; purchases have been made in fine Crashed at a reduction of 6d. per cwt. Some Refined goods imported from Holland, and equal in quality to our English goods at 435., have been sold at 425. for Crashed. The Refined Market this afternoon is very heavy, on account of the Refined Goods offering from Amsterdam lower than they can be purchased here ; Lumps 845., and heavy. MAURITIUS.-There were two public sales on Tuesday, containing 6,915 bags, chiefly of superior colour and quality; they did not sell with the former briskness, low yellow to fine 655. a 695., greys 625. 6d. a 665. 6d.. Those descriptions fit for the pan sold rather higher, but the good and fine sorts were fully 6d. lower ; the average of the cargo about 655. This day two public sales of Mauritius took place, consisting of 6,037 bags, the whole went off heavily, a considerable portion taken in ; the quantity sold went off at a reduction of 6d. a Is. per cwt. ; low to bright yellows 625. 6d. a 665., low to mid. grey, 625. 6d. a 655., brown 61s. 6d. a 625.

Gd., which is higher, on account of the scarcity of British Plantation. There are few transactions reported in Foreign Coffee; the holders still continue very firm in their demand for higher prices. A cargo afloat from Rio, said to be deliverable from liambro, is reported sold at 535. subject to the usual conditions. There were no public sales of coffee this day; there are still enquiries for the British Plantation descriptions, but few par cels offer; a private contract took place of fine ord. Jamaica at 92i., formerly 975. The Foreign continues held with much firmness. • _......--.

Brandy is very heavy, on account of the large imports. Geneva is without alteration. TALLOW.-The Market prices of Tallow have remained very steady this week, with a considerable business doing. A deputation of the trade waited upon the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, requesting him to put a new duty on Tallow, and take off the duty on Soap ; it is understood he is rather averse to this proposal, as it would be the re-enacting the duty upon Candles. At public sale on Tuesday 75 casks Petersburg White Candle Tallow sold 425. 9d. a 435. ; 182 casks Ditto second quality Yellow Candle, taken in 41s. 6d. a 41s. 9d. ; and 69 casks Ditto Soap Ditto, sold 40s. 6d. a 40a. 9d.
