In the House of Lords last night, Lord MONTEAGLE moved the second reading of a Bill which he had introduced, and which embodied the clauses which he had proposed in the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill at the time that measure was under discussion. The Bdl, which was opposed by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and by the LORD CHANCELLOR AS totally unnecessary, was rejected without a division. Several Bills were forwarded a stage, and their Lord ships adjourned. The morning sitting of the Commons was almost wholly devoted to the Committee on the Patent law Amendment Bill. In the evening sitting Colonel SALWEY moved for a Select Committee to consider the case of the Military Knights of Windsor, but the House was counted out before he had concluded his speech. Many attempts have from time to time been made to check the practice of bribery and corruption at the election of Members for the Commons House of Parliament, but in vain : it is an ancient custom— albeit " more honoured in the breach than in the ob servance"—which many constituencies stick to with the most resolute pertinacity. It is vain to seek "the most sweet voices" of the electors of certain boroughs, unless the candidate be prepared to render an equiva lent in the shape of bard cash. The minimum rate is generally fixed according to the recognised local usages, but the actual price varies according to the emergency. A fierce contest will increase the demand to such an extent that the ordinary honorarium must be at least quadrupled. There will be a rising market, while the numbers continue pretty equally balanced, until, as the hour approaches for closing the poll and declaring the successful can didate, the excitement approaches the utmost degree of intensity, and fancy prices are offered and ac cepted that would startle the parties, if even contem plated in more sober moments. It is true that the more respectable inhabitants — those whose circumstances may enable them to resist the attractions of a 51. or 101. note, and who will not condescend to share in the guttling and guzzling in which the less wealthy of the free and independent electors are prone to indulge—keep aloof from these horrors ; but by far:the greater number of these belong to one or other of the local parties into which the district is divided. They are blue or yellow, pink or red, as the case may be, and must give their votes in accordance with others or their colour. Some, however, who desire to turn everything to advantage, although affecting the utmost purity, and virtuously indignant at the conduct of those who eat or drink at the expense of the candidate or defile their hands with the touch of the " accursed thing" in the shape of X. s. d., are quite willing to re ceive an equivalent in another shape. As, for in stance, a comfortable situation for some deserving member of the family unhappily unprovided for. As the bond fide parties are generally pretty equally ba lanced, the loose fish, whether waiters on Providence, desirous of obtaining patronage, or the more vulgar recipients of the current coin of the realm, are enabled to turn the election and to bring in the " Liberal" candidates, not in the " political," but ordinary meaning of the phrase. The heaviest purse, therefore, tooirequently gains the victory, but there are means by which the con queror may be brought to account, which would be exceedingly valuable, but that, unfortunately, the innocent suff,:r as often as the guilty, and gentlemen who would be utterly incapable of sanctioning im• proper or corrupt proceedings are dragged through the mire and made responsible for acts of which they were utterly ignorant, and which occasionally, we believe, were ascribable rather to malicious enemies than to injudicious friends. Tne " possibility" above alluded to has, however, rendered great caution necessary in dealing with the ticklish subject. " Bribery" must be conducted on scientific principles. The old vulgar method has long since been ignored among the more scientific practi tioners. Even the purchases of " sucking pigs, tables, gaudy-coloured handkerchiefs, or rare plants, at ex orbitant prices," have become too common-place, and are only resorted to by inferior minds. A new and more powerful method has been recently adopted, which has the double advantage of not only affecting the vote for the time being, but of keeping " the screw" over the elector on all future occasions, and enabling the candidate to take summary vengeance for any act of insubordination. The practice was first brought to light, we believe, in an action in which Mr. JOHN A'ETWOOD was concerned ; and we have had an addi tional illustration in a case just tried on the Western Circuit, in which Sir SAMUEL SPRY, the defeated candidate for Bodmin at the last general election, was plaintiff, and a person of the name of HOCHIN, a grocer, resident in the town of Bodmin, and a regis tered elector of the borough, was defendant. From the evidence it appeared that the plaintiff had been a candidate for the representation of Bodmin at the elections that occurred between 1832 and 1847 ; that in 1841 defendant had voted for his two oppo nents, but in 1843 he had changed his views and exercised his suffrage in favour of the worthy Knight. Shortly afterwards he applied to the agent for Sir SAMUEL in order to obtain a loan ( ! ! !), and mentioned the name of the principal for whom he had just recorded his vote. Such a claim could not be rejected. The money, 201., was advanced in June, 1843 and a promissory note for the amount granted by the defendant. It also appeared in evidence that five other voters—all honourable men —were accom modated about the same time, in a similar manner, for sums varying from 201. to 25/. These various notes remained locked up in the strong box of the agent, from 1843 until after the next election of 1847. It does not appear that they were ever presented for payment, that interest was demanded, or any appli cation made in reference thereto, during the interval. In fact, it seemed as if they had been alike forgotten by creditor and debtors. In 1847, however, a new contest took place, in which the plaintiff was defeated. We know not whether the other five, or any and which of them, " plumped" for their liberal and indulgent creditor. The de fendant, however, gave a split . vote, between the plaintiff and the party with whom the pressure of the conflict lay, the remaining candidate being facile princeps, and his success placed beyond the possibility of doubt. The plaintiff, once a Radical, but subse quently a Conservative and. Protectionist, was de feated ; and, much annoyed at his discomfiture; he did not, however, at once shake the Bodmin dust from his feet. The chances of a petition were still to be tried; but even that was a failure, and the election was confirmed by the Parliamentary Committee. Then it was that the plaintiff saw tho necessity for calling in his debts. The notes of the various bor rowers of 1843 were accordingly transferred from the custody of the Parliamentary agent to that of his private solicitors, and the action now under notice followed. It did not appear that the plaintiff was a bill-broker or dealer in money, or that his object was obtaining heavy interest on the amount of his advances. None of the honour able fraternity would have let their securities slum ber for more than four years, without any allusion being made thereto, or any appiicaticn even for in terest. What then was the motive that induced the plaintiff to render the accommodation ? Would he have given it to any but voters ? and is it not palpa ble that it was granted for electioneering purposes, and that even if legal (which we doubt) was of an exceedingly objectionable character, calculated to produce undue influence at the hustings. VV way be certain that these various ramifications of the system must prevail, in a greater or less clegre:, util th only eagiuto Itulaytha vote THE SUN, TELE WEATHER.—SurN OFFICE, AUGUST 6.

Contrary to all rational expectation, there seems to be now every likelihood that the Patent Law Amend ment Bill cannot be passed during the present session of Parliament. After the energetic efforts made to forward this measure through the remaining stages, the sadden obstruction encountered by its supporters is, in sober earnest, a very grievous disappointment. On glancing over the report of yesterday's proceed ings in the House of Commons it will be perceived that for this most encouraging circumstance the country is indebted to the Thersites of the Legisla ture. Nothing could possibly be more irritating than this, the inventors of the United Kingdom having looked forward with the utmost confidence to the re cognition of their rights by the Lords and Commons, as well as by the members of her MA.TEsTy's Govern ment. Immediately prior, however, to the realization of all their hopes they have been abruptly thrown back into the " slough of despond" by the petulance with which the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the Member for Lincoln refused to postpone a ridiculous little motion of his own, even in compliance with the wishes of the entire House, and in obedience to the remonstrances of the Prime Minister of England. Very different was the conduct pursued last evening by another Hon. and Gallant Member, the represen tative of Ludlow. Seeing that without some conces sion en his part and on that of his brother senators there would be no chance whatever of the Bill pass ing into law this session, Colonel SALWEY, though re luctantly, still consented to waive his right of priority so as to afford some opportunity for the carrying out of the views of the Administration. Notwithstand ing this admirable example, Colonel SIEITHORP reso lutely and sturdily refused to budge one inch in accord ance with the demands of the occasion. To the request addressed to himself from the Ministerial benches he bluntly responded with a negative. When Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself hinted that it was usual on the Member who had the first motion on the paper giving way for those who followed him to give way also, Colonel SIBTHOEP retorted, with a plain, bare faced, blundering, ; uncivil, inelegant—" I won't." After this specimen of courtesy there was, of course, no alternative whatever. Needs must when a certain indi vidual drives, saith the proverb, and hence the Patent Law Amendment Bill was burked most ruthlessly. Colonel SALWEY in due course brought forward his motion referring to the Military Knights of Windsor, and in the middle of his statement, at precisely half-past six, the House was counted, and thirty eight Members only being present, it was adjourned accordingly. All this, we need scarcely remark, was in the highest degree vexatious. The boon was just upon the eve of being obtained, the pear was so ripe that it was all but dropping into the mouths that had been long watering for a taste of it—andexactly at this crisis, when "all went merry as a marriage bell," Colo nel SIBTHORP must needs wedge in his petulant " / won't," and doom the unfortunate inventors of the United Kingdom to another lamentable disappointment. Under the peculiar circumstances of the case, we have maintained all along thatany change whatever in the laws relating to patents would be preferable to no alteration whatever. Hence we have watched the pro gress of the Amendment Bill with such singular soli citude, exulting in behalf of inventors, in behalf of science, and in behalf, moreover, of the public at large, at every onward movement in the way of the desired innovation. Yet, exactly at the moment when we were about to congratulate the country on the passage of the measure through the House of Commons, the whole of these arduous exertions of the Government are set at nought, and the Bill, like many a promising horse at the Derby, proves in the end to be nowhere. We must now, therefore, make up eur minds with the best grace possible to the necessity of delaying our hopes in the matter until next session, when, in an improved and more carefully deliberated manner, the measure may again be brought under the consideration of the Imperial Legislature. During the Parliamentary recess which is just now on the eve of its commencement, it behoves all advocates of reform in the Patent Laws of the United Kingdom to prepare for the motion which will have to be made next year with a view to the more effectual removal of existing abuses. Powerful as the evidence has already been of the injuries inflicted upon public and private interests by the Patent Laws as they are at the present moment enforced, it will, of course, be peculiarly advantageous to accumulate yet more nu merous and persuasive testimony of the folly of further procrastination. For, unfortunately, some few determined minds yet remain to be convinced not of the fact of the evils complained of, but of their repeated magnitude. Deputy chaff-waxes may be abolished, seven or eight different stages may be rendered unnecessary in the procuring of letters patent, fees may be dispensed with in an extraordinary variety of quarters, the time required in the process may be very materially diminished, and yet, after all this, much would still remain to be accomplished, so as to place in ventors upon a proper footing. It should be remembered, for instance, that together with these improvements others should he secured, whereby the community would be enabled in the best manner to examine into the value of cer• tain projects, and to discover the precise amount of their originality. By organizing a system of public registration, by opening this to the view of the masses at a comparatively trifling cost, as in the instance of the wills preserved in the offices at Doctors' Commons, by establishing, moreover, an institution in which the models of different contrivances might be seen on application, the Legislature would signally advance the cause of science in the United Kingdom, and by this means forward the general prosperity of the population. Let these con siderations be borne in mind, and it may ultimately come to pass that we may be compensated for our pre sent disappointment, larger reforms being secured by a little additional procrastination. No thanks to Colonel SIBTHORP j for the benefits here hinted at would be obtained in spite of him and his very courteous self sufficiency. Tan LATE ECLIPSE.—At Konigsburgb, Dantzic, and Derehan, where the eclipse of the sun was total, dark ness like that of night prevailed for some minutes. During this time a great number of stars was visible, among them Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury were perfectly visible. The natural phenomena produced on the animal and vegetable world were highly interesting. Several flowers closed, the birds which had been before flying about suddenly disap peared, the cocks crowed and the birds went to roost. In some villages great consternation prevailed among the in habitants, and many families shut themselves up in their rooms till the eclipse was over, so great was their superstition. This, however, was by no means general, for dense crowds with magnifying glasses, telescopes, and burnt glass, were assembled on the heights to witness this interesting scene. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT SUNDERLAND.-- On Monday morning last there was considerable excitement among the commercial classes of Sunderland, owing to the sudden death of Mr. Christopher John Spence, ship-broker, who was reported to have died from the effects of a blow re ceived during an altercation with Mr. Joseph Buchanan, ship builder of Sunderland. It appears that both the gentlemen were on the best terms, and on Friday week they both went into the bar of the Bridge-hotel, where, while drinking toge ther, an altercation ensued, and Mr. Buchanan seized a large drinking glass and threw it at Mr. Spence's head, it hit him on the right temple, and the wound bled freely. They separated, and Mr, Spence went home and had his wound dressed, and felt himself better, and walked out next morning, and again met with Mr. Buchanan, and they walked together on terms of friend ship. The next day Mr. Spence grew worse and took to his bed, and, mortification having taken place, he expired on Monday morning last. On the afternoon of that day a war rant was issued for the apprehension of Mr. Buchanan, and the same day he was taken into custody and brought before the Mayor of Sunderland, charged by Mr. W. Brown, superintendent of police, with killing and slaying Mr. Chris topher John Spence, broker. Mr. Cooper, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the prisoner, and said that his client felt the deepest sorrow for the unfortunate circumstanee, and that he had walked with the deceased the day after the quarrel, and he had also visited him the day before his death; and, under all the circumstances, he hoped that the Mayor and magistrates would allow his client to find bail; but the ma gistrates declined to accept bail, and the prisoner was re manded until a coroner's inquest be held on the body of the deceased. THE MONEY ORDER DEPARTMENT OF TDB POST OFFICE.— On Monday was printed a return to the House of Commons, from which it appears that in the year ended the 31st of December last there were 4,439,713 money orders is-• sued in the United Kingdom, and the amount was 8,494,4981. 10s. 7d. The number paid was 4,431,235, and the amount paid was 8,483,0551. la. 10d., leaving a large sum unpaid of the number issued. The expenses of the department were last year 70,5771., and the commission was 73,8131. on the orders. FATAL ACCIDENT AT HUNGERTORD PIER. -- On Monday evening a young man named John Brown. a resi dent at Woolwich, fell from off the Greenwich and Woolwich Company r e packet Dryad, at Hungerford Steam-boat Pier. Unfortunately it was dark, with a strong ebb-tide running, and notwithstanding every exertion was used to saYO hieL l3 ) ha way droned, aril the Wily was not ramerad,! THE FRE EP tiliLle.

The German journals say that the Diet is about to forbid the use of the German national colours ; and to decree the abolition of what are called the funda mental rights. The German journals say that it is probable that the King of PRUSSIA and the Emperor of RUSSIA will shortly have an interview at lio3nigsb - al,; - . The projected visit of the Emperor of AUSTRIA to Gallicia has been postponed, on account, it is said, of the deliberations of the Cabinet on the affairs of Hungary. A letter from Vienna states that Lord PAL MERSTON has addressed a note to the Austrian Go vernment, representing that there can be no objection to the release of Kossuxu and his companions by the Turkish Government, as they consent to go to America. The subject causes a frequent exchange of communications between Vienna and Constan- tinople. Spener's Gazette of Berlin says it is believed in that city that the Austrian Government will abandon its project of introducing all its states into the Ger. manic Confederation, as it will be irapossible for Pru3sia, notwithstanding all her anxiety to serve Austria, to submit to the consequences of such a measure. DENMARK. The Augsburg Gazette states that, though the princes and princesses of Hesse have signed the act by which they abandon their rights to the throne of Denmark, and to the succession in the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, the QUEEN, widow of CHRISTIAN VII I ., Princess CAROLINE AMELIA, daughter of the sister of FREDERICK VI., the Prin cess CAROLINE, wife of the hereditary prince and daughter of FREDERICK VI., have refused to do so. And it adds, that it is positive that the Emperor of RUSSIA, in his quality of chief of the Home of Hol stein Gottorp, has only given his consent to the adop tion of Prince CHRISTIAN, of Glucksburg, as heir pre sumptive to the crown of Denmark, on condition that he shall gain the consent of all the other parties who have a right to the succession. The EMPEROR was, however, labouring to bring about this result. ITALY. We read the following in a letter from Rome, in the Venice Gazette of the 3 1 st ult. :—" Every thin g considered, the friendly feeling which formerly ex isted between the Papal authorities and the French garrison no longer exists, although great pains is taken on either side to dissemble the true state of affairs. The total occupation of the Palace of the Holy Inquisition has undoubtedly contributed to aggravate matters. The French authorities have taken possession of all the sulphur in powder ex isting in the warehouses of the manufacturers, and had it transported to the Castle of St. Angelo, without paying the proprietors anything, on the plea that they only keep it in deposit. Conse quently, the merchants, who can't sell their stock, loudly complain of this measure, but in vain. The French have also transported to the Castle of St. Angelo all the artillery belonging to the Papal army. The Milan Gazette, of the 31st ult., publishes a notification from the military commandant of Lom bardy, which, after announcing that the proclama t ion of March 10, 1849, establishing the state of siege, is again in vigour since the late proclamation of Marshal RADETZKY, fixes a period of eight days for the delivery of arms and ammunition to the competent military authorities, after which time any persons having such articles in his possession, without a special license, will be treated with all the rigour of military HER MAJESTY'S TEIEATRE.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent honoured the performances at her Ma jesty's Theatre yesterday (Tuesday) evening with her pre sence. The suite in attendance upon her Royal Highness consisted of Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Augusta Bruce, Lady Frances Bruce, and Lord James Murray. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals also present in the theatre on this occasion we noticed the following:—His Grace the Duke of Wellington and the Marchioness of Douro, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Pau let, the Marquis of Donegal, the Prince Demidoff and party, the Countess of Glengall and Lady Margaret Butler, Earl Bruce, the Count and Countess de Morella, Viscount Ex mouth, Viscount Cranbourne, Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce, Lord Alfred Churchill, General the Hon.

B. Simpson, of the Al bion-tavern, Russell-street, Covent-garden, who had been fined by the lest jury for having a number of silver mea sures representing pints and quarts, which were not stamped with the Westminster stamp; and it was alleged Mr. Simp son had said he would not send them for the purpose to the office, as it would be the means of disfiguring them. Two of them were produced in court. The chairman told Mr. Simpson's representative that every tradesman who lived in Westminster was bound to have his weights and measures stamped with the Westminster stamp, arid it was no excuse in this instance to say the measures were of silver; they would be used no doubt as if they were made of any other metal. The party said Mr. Simpson was engaged, or he would have attended himself, and he was directed not to dis pute the tine, which ho would pay, but simply to know whe ther it was necessary that plate, such as he held in his hand, was obliged to have the Westminster stamp. The chairman told him unquestionably it was. The foreman of the jury here observed that Mr. Simpson told them when they went to his house that he would not have his plate knocked about by sending them to the stamp-office. The applicant said Mr. Simpson had changed his mind since then.—(A laugh.) The chairman told him to pay the fine; the officers of the court would take care the plate was not injured in the course of stamping. The fine was then paid, and so the matter ended. At the risk of being termed hypercritical we yen• ture to suggest that the phraseology of some of the old forms of our criminal courts are hardly creditable to a nation which is trying to make the mass of its people lovers of literature. If silence is commanded by " My Lords the Queen's Judges," at least let it be done grammatically and in order, and not in the ludicrous phraseology of the crier:—" whilst the Queen's most gracious proclamation is publicly read in open court on pain of imprisonment. The intention, is, we know, to command silence, on pain of imprisonment, whilst the Queen's proclamation is read, and it might easily be so expressed ; but at present, grammatically and legally speaking, the only person who is threatened with imprisonment is the clerk of assize, or whoever else may dare to read the proclamation. A somewhat analogous error is observable on the doors of the Central Criminal Court, where the curious philologist may read the words " Female entrance only" (intended to indicate " Entrance for females only"); but, good Heavens! what a horrible picture do these words conjure up ! Female entrance only ! Like the inscription over the portal of Dante's " Inferno"-- " All hope abandon, ye who enter here." The fatal threshold allows of no return ! Hear it, my Lord Shaftesbury, and ye other explorers of the mysteries of Lon don :—ln the very heart of the City, and under the canopy of justice, there is (at least there is every reason from the official announcement to suppose there is) a second castle of Blue Beard filled with the unfortunate females who have passed that fatal entrance from whence no traveller returns.— Slierborne Journal The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces remain on the whole satisfactory. At Blanchester there has been increased activity, and with few exceptions prices are now described as remunerative. At Nottingham , the favour able indications lately noticed in connexion with the lace and hosiery branches continue, and notwithstanding the agi tation prevalent among some classes of work-people, the amount of employment has further increased. Birmingham is profiting to a certain extent by export orders obtained through the Great Exhibition --a circumstance regarded with gratification by those interested in this deecrintion of industry.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The aale3 of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 American and 1,000 Surat were taken for export, and 1,200 American on sp-culation. The market closed very firmly, the only change to notice being in qualities at and under 4id. per lb., which were a shade higher.—The market for Rail ways was very flat, and prices had a downward ten dency. The reports from France concerning the grain crops are very favourable as regards the quality, though the quantity of wheat, it is said, may prove rather smaller than last year. The rates at which bills of exchange upon the chief continental cities were yesterday negotiated were in se veral instances higher. Ninety days paper was taken at 25 20 to 25 on Paris, 11 174 to 18+, on Amsterdam, 13 Btol. on Hamburgh, 1191 to on Frankfort, and 11 46 to 49 on Trieste. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 4th inst. was tolerably firm, Dutch Two and-a Half per Cents. being 58i. In Foreign S curities there was no alteration. We are informed that the Mining Exchange not hav ing been established, as was desired, the members have joined the Hall of Commerce. _ The arrivals of shipping are very large in the Thames during the last two or three days, including vessels from the Baltic, Spain, France, Holland, Newfoundland, Ha vannab, and Madras. In a circular upon railway prospects, by Messrs. J. S. Tripp and Co., the Brighton accounts are thus ana lysed:—"ln April, 1850, we stated that neither the Brighton nor the Midland Company had charged their revenue with the sum that would by-and-by be found re quisite for their maintenance of way. Subsequently, in our review of the Brighton accounts for the half-year ending June 30th, 1850, we observed that the cost of the maintenace of way had increased 8/. per mile, and that it was then, in our opinion, 131. per mile less than would be found sufficient in all probability before another year. The cost of the half-year ending June, 1650, was 931. per mile. The cost for the half year just ended is 98.53971. per mile, being more than 5/. 10s. per mile in excess of the charge for the corresponding six months of last year, and as we still believe it to be 71. 10a. per mile under the sum that will ultimately be found requisite. It must also be borne iu mind that the length of miles open is 173/, but the number of mile. charged to maintenance of way is only 1594 e Another important feature is the decline in the train mileage receipts observable by the following comparison : Train mileage receipts for the ha l f year ending June 30: 1849 Bs. sd. 1 1850. ..... 7s. 7d. 1 1851 6s. 3,1 d. "For the half-year ending D: comber 31st, 1849, the receipts were s.lO 261 per train mile; but then the train mileage was in the proportion of 3252 miles per mile, whereas, as wo have already shown, the train mileage for the half-year ending Juno last was in the proportion of 4479 miles to each mile of the railway. The di rectors explain in their report that the competition at the Hastings branch left them no alternative but to place additional trains on the line. The result is evi dent. The train mileage receipts have not kept pace with the increased number of trains, and the sooner the train mileage can be reduced to the standard of 3252 miles per mile, when the train mileage receipts were s. 10.261 per mile, the greater will be the profit. our last Circular we estimated that the Brighton divi dend for the half year ending June world be at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum, or 355. for the half year." The following i. from the Circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy. dated New Orleans, July 12 and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, rela tive to the state of the markets:— " CoTTox.—The changes which have occurred in our Cotton market since our last Circular of 21st ult. have been but of li de importance; prices have been but slightly affected by the tenor of advices since received from Liverpool. The lower qualities only, say from ordinary to middling, forming at present the bulk or our stock, have somewhat receded, and may be quoted about /e. lower than at our last date. The better qua lities, on the contrary, become scarcer, and the demand existing for them fur shipment to Spain and the North of the United States, enables holders to obtain full prices. The principal business has been done for Eng land and Spain, with some lots for the Continent, and the transactions would have undoubtedly been larger, but for the tightness of our Money market, and the diffi culty of negotiating exchange. The sales of this week sum up 13,000 bales, and of the two preceding weeks 10,500 and 14,000 bales. Our unsold sock of Cotton may be put down at about 35,000 bales, consisting mainly of mixed lists of the lower descriptions and Ala bama Cotton. Even-running lists, with the exception of fair and above, and very little of these, are not to be met with, and if holders reluctantly submit to a selec tion, they obtain from le. to 4c, above our quotations, which are—Ordinary to good ordinary, 6k to 7; mid dling, to 81; good middling, 91 to 9i; middling fair, 9 3 4 to 10; fair, 101 to 101. The prospects for the new crop are very flattering, and only from few districts com plaints reach us of the continued drought. Sales during the last three weeks 37,500 bales. Receipts at this port since Ist Sept., 940,590 bales, against 782,916 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 296.547 bales. " Rio COFFEE.—The sales of this article amount to about 9,000 sacks during the three last weeks, and the market closes now firmly at 84c. for a fair article. Ar rived during that period Francis Watts, 3,500 sacks; Henry, 6,500 sacks. The stock is reduced to 9,145 slacks, against about 47,000 sacks same time last season. Imports, 270,190 sacks against 220,299 sacks same time last year." The Funds are very steady, but there is scarcely any ' business doing, and the attendance is extremely limited.
