It was indispen ible to have the bill i n the proceedings now pending he'aalf of the London and Dublin Bank. Mr. Humphrey objected to the bill being given up bill had been made part of the evidence in a case LA ' prosecution by the Queen, and therefore it must remain in the custody of the proper officers. Mr. BINGUAM said, the solicitor was under a wrong impret.sion about any un d (rttanding that the bill wou!,l be given back to him. Nothing of the sort toa place. The bill would be kept in safe custody, bu' would be forthcoming fur the purposes of the olit:itt , r whenever it might be required. Mr. Campbell sail, in a recent case &different deci .,ion had been arrived at. Mr. BINGRAM said, the case referred to was one of misd , meancur only. The present was a case of felony, and that made all the difference. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute. The second charge, for fraudulently obtainin g th ree bills for 7501. from Lieutenant: Garland, was about to be called on, when Mr. Ballantine rose and said, his client wished the case to be further adjourned, in order to give him further time to consult with his friends, and prepare his answer to the charge. PUBLICITY TO CASES UNDER TUB INSOLVENT PROTECTION ACT.—Complaints have been made on the part of persons who have petitioned under the Protection Act, that their names appear in the newspapers as appli cants four times within the year. In the cases referred to, proposals have long been made to pay the creditors by quarterly instalments; and protection being granted for three months at a time, the cases have hitherto appeared in the printed lists. In order to obviate the nocessity of so much publicity, it has been suggested that if the quarterly payments are made about a week before the date of the protection, the names need not appear in print. There are a great many insolvents, especially Government clerks, who will gladly avail themselves of the regulAtion, and escape appearing before the public. The payments must be wide before the lists of the wee , k are print, d. The subject has been ssyr( ral times before the Cutnmissioners, and they have expressed their willingness to adopt a plan to avoid frequ. nt notice of cases, provide d no harm was done to creditors. Persons who were anxious to pay their cre ditors were not to be placed in a worse position than those applicants who made no proposals to pay their debts. PROVIDENTIAL. ESCAPE.--OD Monday evening, a gig belonging to Mr. Reynolds, of Truro, was at Chace water, with his son in it (a lad ten years of age), when a carriage returning from the west, and coming down the village rather fast, came in contact with the wheel of the gig, and turned the vehicle completely bottom up wards, with the child underneath; strangely, however, neither the child, horse, nor gig were injured.— West Briton.

Wakley, the deputy coroner, in the board-room of Ilolborn workhouse, respecting the death of a male person, apparently about forty years of age, at present unknown, who died from want and exposure to the cold, under the following very shocking circumstances:—Tbe body of the deceased presented a most frightful appear ance, and was entirely covered with filth and dirt. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that, shortly after nine o'clock on Friday morning last, Mrs. Martha Gibbs, a married woman, residing at No. 11, Tyndall-buildings, Gray's Inn lane, was suddenly alarmed by hearing some person moaning in the cellar at the basement of the house. She instantly went to the spot, and found the deceased lying in one corner of the cellar, huddled up in a quantity of filth and dirt. The decased appeared perfectly insensible, and Mrs. Gibbs immediat. ly obtained the assistance of several police-constables, who had the deceased removed to Holborn. workhouse. He was literally black from the dirt in which he had been lying, and his body was ex tremely emaoiatt d. He was instantly stripped and placed in hot blankets, and the usual remedies were applied, which consisted of ammonia and brandy; but the deceased never rallied, and died shortly afterwards. Two penny pieces wt re found placed upon two ulcers on the deceased's legs, and a few piec es o f s t a l e b read were also discovered in his pockets. The deceased obtained admission to the cellar by means of the window which looked into the street. The coroner remarked that the cellar appeared to be in the sam' bad condition as before the cholera broke out. The parochial authorities ought to have the place thoroughly cleaned every week. The jury returned a verdict of death from exhaustion, caused by exposure to the cold, and the want of the common necessaries of life. THE SUN, LONIJON, WEDNESDA Y EVENING, J A NUARY - 2, 1850. India Molasses have been made at 16s to 16s 6d, and other sorts at I7s to 20s. 'There has not been much passing in Bonded Crushed Sugar, yet the rates re quired are from 30; to 31s per cwt, and no desire is (Privet d to press sales fur delivery. Value of wet lumps is 28, to 29s 6 , 1, and a fair quantity sold. Treacle is n: t much wanted for shipping, and is offered at 13. to 14 . There is still little disposition to operate in Pieces or Bastards, whilst the former are offered at from 22s to 26s for low to fine, and latter at 183 to 21e. In Foreign Crushed Sugar n o t much has been d one , st ill prices .re firm at from 26s to 29s for low to fine. The value of Hambro Loaves, for 10 and lslbs, is 31s to 321 6d per cwt : at present there are not many purchasers. To day a fair quantity of Refined Sugar wes sold, and former rates were well kept up, whilst there was not a larger quantity on offer. The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is still firm. FOREIGN.-There has been several inquiries after duty paid parcels, but holders refusing to accede te previous terms cans-d operations to be of little impertence and c.,nfined to 600 cheats o f y e ll ow Havanna!), chiefly at 41 s 63 per cwt for fin^ qua'uty.

Of West Jodie there is only a Lame , ' quantity on offer; the value of grey is from 38e to 43s and red 403 to 50s per cwt, end th , re is some prospe ct of a much better demand existing ',inertly, COFFEE. -Deliveries have aga;'s exesedert and the stock exhibits a material deficiency- a. c?napetee with this time last year; a further decrease in ntipuffu Lions is also expected to occur, with the exception of Ceylon. Prices rule much above those current last year at this time, but proceedings at the Continental markets continua of a satisfactory 'suture. Native Ceylon met with a goad demand here, and realised 553 to 55s 6d, whilst superior sorts in small parcels realised 56e to 66s 6d per cwt. On the part of holders there is much firmness, and few par cels are on offer, whilst au impression exists that prices have not yet arrived at their highest point. Although the stock exceeds that of the former year, yet it is nearly all held by speculators and on Foreign acceunt. Of Plantation several parcels have been disposed of at rather higher terms. The value of low to good ordinary sound is from 54; to 565, fine to fine fine ordinary 56s to 603, low mid and mid 62s to 675, goad 68s to 70s; fine and superior, 72s to 90s per cwt; but sort; under 70; have again met with the most attention: fine sorts are moderate in value compared with inferior, this is however not expected to be the case long. Mocha continues in excellent request, and few parcels are on offer. The value of good and fine clean garbled is from 75s to 85s, low mid and mid 66s to 745, and mixed descriptions 60s to 65s per cwt. An impression exists that higher rates Hill pre vail, as the stock in first hands is greatly reduced. With respect to other East India sorts supplies are not sufficient for the demand, and stiff rates are paid. Sales of Singapore and Java have been made at 52e to 555; Company's 56s to 58s; Padang and Sumatra 45s to 47; per cwt, indeed some holders will not sell at these rates. There are many purchasers of Foreign Coffee, and stiffer rates are paid, but the supply is small, and not sufficient for the demand. For ord and good ord Rio the value is 443 to 48s, and bet ter sort 49; to 60s per cwt. The stock is nearly all in second hands, and for the most part consists of the better kinds. The deficiency in the Coffee crops will this year be most apparent in Java. Prices at the con tinental markets still rule above those current here for Coffee. Export deliveries are far larger than in the previous year, but for home trade purposes there is little difference ; an increase is, however, expected to take place in a short space of time. To-day there was much Inquiry after Coffee, and higher rates were offered, but business was prevented by the limited parcels on offer. The present value of good ordinary Native Ceylon is 55s 6d to 56s per cwt. TEA.-Operations in Congou have been upon a large scale since our last report. Common kinds met with the most attention, and realised an advance of id per lb, whilst other sorts brought rather higher terms. Holders display much firmness, and prices rule as follows:- ord at 9id, good ord 104, mixed blackish leaf loid to 11d, blackish laid to is lid, ditto strong is 2d tc Is 4d, flue 'and Pekoe flavour is 4d to is 104 per lb.

IRELAND. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.—The frost still con tinues with an almost Russian intensity. This even ing the thermometer stands 4k deg. below freezing point. Of course all the ornamental and other stilt waters are frozen over, and the canals and even por tions of the Liffey present a coating of ice. Skates, which had been scarcely a day in requisition for the last 11 years, are now all the rage , an d the pond at the Vieeregal Lodge and all the other pieces of water about were yesterday and to-day crowded with skaters. So intense is the frost, that the inside window-frames of rooms in which no fires are lighted are covered with a thick rime, which, when removed by a knife or the finger. nail, comes off in crisped particles of ice. The weather has not been so severe since the memorable frost of 1838, which continued fur seven weeks, and the break-up of which on the sth of February, as luckily guessed in " Murphy's Almanac," secured for that illustrious compilation a brief but most profitable celebrity. In the absence of other local news it may be as well to disclose certain particulars I have learned, from the best authority, regarding a conspiracy which exists here against the poor—indeed against society in general. As I perceive the monopoly of the butchers forms matter of complaint in the London press, the revelation o f t h e mode in which the combination is carried on here may prove of interest, as I have little doubt the means employed by the conspirators at both sides the Chan nel are analogous. At the bead of the conspiracy are the salesmasters, through whom every animal brought to Smithfield must be sold, no farmer or grazier daring to sell to a butcher, nor the latter daring to buy. The salesneasters, who are generally very rich, and sustain one another, hold over or bring into market just as they please; they advance money on the lot to farmer or grazier, and " account" when the sale is concluded. To the butcher they give credit, and as they are always sure to have cattle on hand, so that the butcher can never want meat for his customers, he has less inducement, even if he had the courage, to have recourse to a precarious supply from the few approachable farmers or graziers unconnected with the Smithfield safes masters. Then, the butchers having killed their meat, a meeting of delegates from all the masters in Dublin meet every Thursday night, to regulate the price; and woe to the man who takes less than the indicated figure. The lowest rate is pointed out ; beneath that he cannot go, but he may, of course, get as high a figure as he can. Hence there is often a difference of threepence in the pound between the prices of the very same article in the " grand stalls," as they are termed, and those fre quented by the working classes. Again, no person can set up as a butcher except the son or brother of a butcher; to such a person no salesmaster would sell, no chandler purchase his suet, as, if he did, the victualling fraternity would sell him none of theirs. Lastly comes the combination of the journeymen. If any citizen, or number of citizens, purchased an animal in Smithfield, they might slaughter it themselves, for they would not get a journeyman butcher in Dublin to do it —so perfect is the organization. Thus, with the Corporation, utterly powerless over Smithfield, although by a fiction of law, it is " the Corporate Market," the people are left at the mercy of this triple conspiracy. The following letter from the Hon. Member for Manchester appears in the Galway Mercury, in reply to an address from Miltown Malbay, county Clare, forwarded to him by the secretary : " Rochdale, Dec. 24. 1849. " Dear Sir,—l have received your letter of the 18. h of this mouth, and observe the signatures of several of your neighbours appended - to it in token of their approval of its contents. I have also received a copy of the newspaper which contains a long address to me on the subject of the sufferings of your country, and the remedies which have been proposed or may be applied. I can assure you that it gives me unfeigned pleasure to know that anything I have said or done for Ireland meets with the approbation of yourself and your friends. " It is a matter of deep regret to me that my time has hitherto been so occupied, and that my efforts have been so little availing ; but now, united with others who are anxious for the restoration of your country, I have every hops that each session as it passes will show that a new policy must be adopted for Ireland, and that you are no longer to be sacrificed to the arrogant pretensions of a dominant minority, or your industry destroyed to up hold a reckless and bankrupt territorial aristocracy. " The first duty of all Irishmen is to procure the libe ration of the soil of Ireland, so that her pauper people may be employed, and that her tenantry may have security for the results of their labour. This done your national wealth pill increase, and you will every day be obtaining greater power for the redress of your political and ecclesiastical wrongs. There is a party now in England and Scotland becom ing every day more numerous aid united, who are most anxious for the good government of Ireland, and if all'honest Irishmen will unite with them and me, I cannot doubt that the future of your country will in tone for the misfortunes of the past. " I beg to thank you and your friends for y o ur ver y kind letter, and to subscribe myvelt, dear sir, you's faithfully, " JOHN BRIGHT. " W. Armstrong, Esq., Miltown Malbay." I have reason to believe that efforts will be made in several districts this year to introduce the cultiva tion of beet-root, with a view to the manufacture of sugar. Mr. Copland, an eminent chemist and agri culturist, recommends it strongly, in fact, prefers it to wheat : " The beet-root (he says) arrives at maturity in five months, and from the land, after it is not wanted; other wise a crop of tares or rape, for spring feeding, may b e taken. The wheat r equ i res ten months to mature, is an exhausting crop, and is liable to many casualties. At a moderato estimate, therefore, the beet -root, which does sot scourge the soil, is more profitable than the wheat." He then expresses his belief that "The extensive cultivation of this root, and its con version into sugar, will in some degree tend to extricate the agricultural interest of Ireland from the dilemma in which they now find themselves, and confer immense advantages on the country at large. The soil and climate are better adapted to it than those of any other country in Europe; th e mo d e of cultivation is already well known, an d i ts subsequent manufacture into sug a r i s e ff ec t e d by a simpl e and rapid process; whilst, by its ad o p t i on upon an adequate scale, a large amount of money now annually paid to foreigners will be retained and disseminated through the country." The provincial papers received to-day contain very few items worth extracting. The High Sheriff of the county Wexford, according to the local paper, has on the requisition of the Earl of Arran, and several of the gentry and clergy, convened a meeting for this day, to adopt a petition to Parliament for the "protection of native industry and capital." I anticipate a thorough dis comfiture for the requisitionists. I perceive, by the Tipperary papers, that Sir John C. Carden, High Sheriff of that county, has called a protection meet ing in the Courthouse, Nenagh, on the 9th January. From the violent ill-feeling subsisting between the landlords and the people of Tipperary, I expect not only a defeat of the Protectionists, but personal danger to many of them.

(From the London N ew P r i ce Current, Jan. 1.) SUGAL—Since our last rep or t no public sale of Co • lonial has been held, still purchases to a fair extent have been made by private treaty, whilst rather higher rates are paid, and there is every prospect that the upward tendency will continue, as dealers hold limited stocks, and home trade deliveries are of a satisfactory nature. The production of Foreign and Colonial is not expected to be much larger than in the previoui season ; but of Beet Root Sugar the production is expected to be much greater. Prices of Sugar differ little from late years, and yield only moderate profits to growers. The gene ral belief is that consumption of Sugar in this country, on the Continent, and in America will be greater than during the past year, and that higher rates will prevail. The value of Brown West India is from 353 to 36s 61, yellow 36s 6d to 41s, grey 36s to 39s ; Mauritius, brown 30s to 35s 6d, yellow 35s 64 to 40s, grey 35s to 395; Bengal, lo fine white 39s to 434, strong ditto 45s to 48s, yellow ditto 39s to 445, brown 36a to 389, soft yellow 33s to 355, brown ditto 303 to 325, and yellow of a Mauritiu4 description 35s to 399 per cwt. There is every appear ance the quality of the Sugar will be superior to that of last season. There is still a smaller stock of Colonial than at this time last year, but of Foreign it is larger. The stock of Sugar at the Continental ports is not much heavier than in the previous year. Holders here appear to have come to the determination not to over supply the market, and with a few exceptions the public sales declared to take place are of little moment. For public competition the quantity of Sugar declared is 7,800 bgs Manilla, 150 hhds ut Barbadoeti, 2,000 bags Bengal, 700 bags Mauritius, and 580 tihda Porto Rico. We find, by reference to the file of the now closed year, that the highest average price of British West India Sugar was on the 10. h July, when it reached 27s 3id ; nod the lowcst on the 9th January, 21s 1 lid. Of British East India, the highest was on the 11th Sept. 30, 3id ; and the lowest on the 9.h January, 23, 6d. itEllNED.—Previous advanced rates have been freely paid for lump Sugar by home dealers, and there is a small supply, especially of common sorts, On the part of refiners much firmness is apparent, and there are few sellers for delivery at present rates. We quote brown lumps at 49. i 64 to 50s, Standard lumps 51. to 51s 64; Tittlers, low to fine 51s to 54a, double 543 64 to 555; ll.itnbro Loaves 51s 6d to 54s 6d, and' double 55s to 565. Of Wet lumps several parcels have been taken at from 4ti to 49s 61 for low to fine. An impression exists that higher rates will prevail for refined Sugar. In Pieces the sales made have been small, still quotations are firm; good and flue at 41s to 465, and low to niiddling 384 to 403, but there are not ready sellers. For [leotards the market is firm, and a good busi ness has been done, chiefly in ordinary sorts; the value is from 301 to 335, and better 34s to 375. Orders for Treacle have further increased, and all sorts are held for higher terms. Sales of boiled from West _, '2.;1: 11. FRIIIT.—There has been little passing since our last report, yet holders for the most part are not disposed to press sales. The ♦alue of sound Currants is from 38s to 435, and of Valencia Raisins 47s per cwt. INDIGO.—This afternoon 11 chests of Kurpah Indigo at public sale went readily at from 2s 9J to 3s 4d ; these are better prices. Of yellow Berries 40 bags Persian were taken in at 71 to 71 5s ; 40 bags Turkey Galls 853, but 17 bags of Turmeric were sold at 153 6d. SALTPETRE.—The rough operations have been upon rather a- larger scale by private treaty, and holders exhibit more firmness. The value of low to mil is from 26s to 275, and good to fine at 27s Gd to 28s 6d per cwt. An increase in home-trade deliveries is expected to take place shorrly. Of British refined a fair quantity has been disposed of at 29s 6d to 303. For Nitrate of Soda thee., is )et a good demand, whilst few sellers are to be met with under 13s 6d per cwt. CoCHINEAL.—To-day the quantity:of Cochineal offered at auction was large and amounted to 500 bags, still the whole found buyers at full rates. Honduras silvers went at 4s Id to 4s 9d, black 4i 10d to 5s 3d, Mexican 4s 2,1 to 4s sd, and silvers at 48 Id to 4s 3d per lb. TALLow.—For public competition on Friday the quantity declared is 1,6(10 pkgs the principal part South American. There has been a decrease in the de mend for Russian for all purposes, and previous rates are not to be obtained. There are sellers of fine P.Y.C. on the spot et 38s, and fur delivery in the next two months at 38s 3d to 383 6d per cwt, but only limited purchases have been made. Home melted is quoted, at 42 , , but subject to the usual discount for cash payments, and there is still a good supply. Other sorts of Tallow are not much wanted, and can be obtain( d at rather lower terms. Prices continue to rule under the previous year; but the stock:is greater; R.,ugh Fat is worth 2s 3d per stone of 8 pounds. OlLS.—there is a greater firmees in the market for Linseed Oil, and a goad trade has been concluded chiefly by home dealers. The rates paid have been 30s to 30s 6d per cwt on the spot. There are se vend purchasers for delivery at 295 61, but te w • sellers are to be met with. Aa impression ex ists that the consumption of Linseed Oil this season will exceed that of the previous one. Rape Oil is not much wanted, and sellers are willing to accept 42s for pale, and 415 6d for brown. Cocoa Nut is held with firmness, and several parcels have been sold at from 33s to 355. For Palm the market is firm, and sales to a fair extent have been made, whilst good and fice arts have realised 32s to 335, 01,ve continues to be held with firmness ; Gallipoli at 441 to 451, and other sorts at 421 to 441 per tun, and an extensive business has been conclud d. Sperm Oil is still wanted, and there are not tree sellers of fine Colo nial at 831 to 84/. Headmatter is scare and worth 8 6/ to 88/. Seal Oil has been bought with caution, pale at 381 10s, straw and tinged 341 to 371, yellow and brown 311 to 33/ 10s. Cod is not to be purchased under 301 10s, 3 et few buyers are to be met with. For low to fine Southern the rates asked are 311 to 341, but only small parcels have been sold. The stock of mast sorts of Fish Oil is light. For auction 20 tuns Palm and 20 casks Cocoa Nut are declared. FOREIGN PAPER.—An importation having taken place of a quantity of paper, for letter -writing, having a name and address in the top left-hand corner, it WAS at first cunsidere 1 to be an illegal import a ti on , as havin, , the names, mark s , or b ran d s purporting to ' be those of b manufac:urers in this kingdom, but it being subse quently found to have been imported merely for the parties' IN ivate use, and that the name and address in the margin were his own, which he affirmed to be the case, directions were given for the piper to be delivered on payment of the proper duties leviable thereon. TRINITY-110USE.—We have to record the demise at his residence at Woodford, of Captain Abel Chapman, the senior of the elder brethren of the Corporation of the Trinity-house. The deceased was in his 98th year, and had been a member of that corporation upwards of half a century, having been elected one of the elder brethern in 1795. He was most deservedly respected by a very numerous circle of friends. (i }/1 ,tl, FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. WHI I'ELIALL, DEC. 29, 1849.

DEATU OF D UNCAN, THE AFRICAN TRAvELLEIL's, Died, on S aturday, the 3d of November, on board be' Mj. stt 's ship Kingfisher, in the Bight of Benin, M John Duncan, the African traveller. Mr. Duncan wa i the son of a small farmer in Wigtonshire, North Britai o , At an early age he enlisted in the First Regiment P 0.; Life Guards, i n which he served with credit for eighte years, and di sc h arged himself with a high character far good conduct a b out the year 1840. In the voyage to the Niger, in 1842, M r . D uncan was appointed armourer! and during the progress of that ill-fated expedition 13 : held a co nsp i cuous place in all the treaties made by tb,, c , nmissioners wit h t h e native chiefs. He returned t" England, one of the remnant of the expedition, with • frightful wound in his leg and a shattered body, foil' which he long suffered. With a return of health, how' ever, came a renewed desire to explore Africa, alPi under th e ausp i ces of the Council of, the Geographies' Society, he started in the summer of 1244, not witha l , substautial p roo f s from many of the members of th e interest they took in his perilous adventure. The pin: ticulars of his journey along the coast until lir, arrival in ashorney were detailed in letters to 111 , f,iends, and published in the " Geographical Societi. Journal of that period. From Dahomey he agsi l ; retliLed to the coast, having traversed a portion 0 country hitherto untrodden by European, but brukel down in h ea l t h , and in extreme suffering from the 01 wound in his leg. Fearful that mortification had coo' m he a t one t i me made preparations for cutt.ng his own limb, a fact which displays the wonderaull7 great resolution of the man. All these journeys wet. nuclei- 40,a on a very slenderly furnished purse, wiello on his arr i va l at W hy d ah, was not only totally exhaus h ted, but he was compelled to place himself in "pawn," as he expressed it, for a d vances which would takepars o f labour on the coast to liquidate. From that disagreeable position his friends of the Geographical Society soon relieved him by an ample subscription, with which be proposed to make a journey from Cale Coast to Tim' buctoo, but the state of his health compelled him to re; turn to Englind. lie was lately appointed Vic, eConse' to Dahomey, for which place he was on his Nay when he died. Mr. Duncan leaves a wife, who is, we believe , but poorly provided for.—Liverpool Albion. [ DVERTISEMENT.]—CUre of an Ulcerated Le by Holl owa y' s Oi ntment and Pills. -111 r.
