Teas—The transactions in this market since our last reprt have been very trifling, not exceeding 1,200 chests of Congou and Souchong, and about 800 half chests Ooloon. In country greens no sales have been made; but of new Canton greens 3,000 half-chests of young hyson at 16 to 26 taels, and 1,200 to 1,500 half chests of gunpowder at 16 to 30 taels have been settled fur England. Black—The stocks remaining consist of Congou and Souchong, 6,000 chests, mostly common; Ning Yong and Kokue Ooloongs, about 1,300 half-chests; of other kinds, stocks very small. Green—Young Ilyson, 3,000 half-chests; and of other kinds the stock is about 1,000 packages. The new crop of congou is expected down towards the middle of June, but the opening of the markets may be delayed some time, as it is understood the teamen have paid higher rates to the grower under the idea of obtaining, at least, the rates of last season. But as those prices left no profit, and in many cases resulted in loss to the foreign merchant, and there is small prospect of realising even last year's prices of first-class congou, it is probable that one or two months will elapse ore the teamen and the foreign merchants can agree on the opening rates. The cargo of the Lancastrian for London is not yet on board, but allowing for it, the export of black tea to Great Britain shows an excess of six millions of pounds, and that of green a decrease of one million of pounds, leaving a net surplus of about five millions on all kinds as compared with the previous season. The export to the United States shows a small excess in green, and about 2i millions in black.

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a NV rlter of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essa s on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has market per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. " Silwced' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The ether ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and Impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

Meantime Democracy remains serene in the midst of ' its invulnerable principles; it can afford to await in patience the hour of its fulfilment. Our impression of Wednesday contained one of the most remarkable confessicns relating to a tragedy of real life that ever fell from a convicted criminal in any part of the globe. It is the statement of Pro fessor WEBSTER, detailing the full particulars of the melancholy transaction by which one gentleman, a man of education and learning, was suddenly hurried into the presence of his CREATOR, " unanointed, unanealed," with all his sins fresh upon him, and without any preparation for the momentous change, and by which another, of considerable acquirements, and who had previously occupied a peaceful and tranquil position, imparting scientific instruction to those about to become members of a learned profes sion, has forfeited his life to the offended laws of his country. Although some time has elapsed since the discovery of the murder of Dr. PARKMAN, and although it occurred in ano ther hemisphere, and could not therefore be supposed to excite so deep a sensation of horror as a homicide committed in our immediate neighbour hood, at our very threshold.s, much interest was felt even in the country respecting the fatal occurrence, while among our Transatlantic brethren it created a feeling not surpassed by that occasioned by the acts of Rum or the MANNINGS in merry England. The entire transaction was enveloped in the deep est mystery. Many persons gave implicit credence to the assertions of the accused, who in the strongest terms protested his entire innocence of any participa tion in the sanguinary outrage. There was no direct testimony that his had been the hand to deprive his victim of life, and afterwards, by a refinement of what might be considered cold-blooded cruelty, to dismember the lifeless corse, and make away with the disjecta membra, the mutilated and scattered remaies. But there was a mass of circumstantial evidence that could leave no rational doubt of his guilt—no link in the chain was wanting, and, after a patient and pro- tracted investigation, the verdict was pronounced which must consign Professor WEBSTER to a painful and ignominious death, unless the parties to whom the prerogative of mercy is entrusted by the Repub lican institutions of the United States, should believe that there were extenuating circumstances which would warrant them in mitigating the capital punishment, and dispensing with the extreme penalty of the law. Such a confession as that, which we pre sented to our readers on Wednesday, must ever be received with suspicion. The criminal even at the last moment of his existence, when all earthly hope bath passed away, even at the very moment of resigning himself into the hands of the executioner, is often nervously sensitive respecting big character, to divest the " affair" for which he has been condemned of its most atrocious incidents, and to cause himself to be regarded, so far as practicable, as " the victim of circumstances" over which he had no control, and thus to obtain the public sympathy for himself and his surviving family. This suspicion must neces sarily be increased when the confession is made, not merely to gratify the public curiosity after his death, but also as a means of inducing his judges to take a lenient view of the case, and thus to obtain an extension of mercy for himself—a prolongation of his own miserable existence—although it may be dragged on in a dungeon, in the most deplorable wretchedness. The document must therefore be scanned with a curious eye. Every point must be subjected to the closest scrutiny, and if it does not hang well together, if there is anything strained or improbable that is not consistent with the various acts that have been elicited during the judicial inves- tigation, and with the previous dispositions and cha racters of the parties concerned, of the murderer and his victim, it must be altogether rejected as unworthy of credence, or so far received only as it may be sus tained and borne out by the ascertained facts. But the narrative to which we have referred will bear the application of the moat stringent tests. There is a verisimilitude, a vraisemblance running through it, that may defy the most acute and even prejudiced critic, and convince the world that it has heard an " ower true tale," descriptive no only of the death of Dr. PARKNIIN, and the subse quent proceedings of his murderer, bat also of the motives and causes that produced that untoward re sult which involved several respectable families in the deepest misery and suffering. A strong moral may also be deduced, warning with a voice of thunder against the dangers of indulging in abusive language, or suffering the angry passions to obtain uncontrolled dominion, so that one hasty and ungoverned act may lead to a labyrinth of crime and mendacity, from which extrication is impracticable. The entire circumstances of the case must be so fully in the recollection of our readers, that it is un necessary to make more than a brief and paesing allusion thereto. Dr. PARKUAN, a highly respectable medical practitioner, was suddenly missing from his usual places of resort in the latter end of November last, and after his absence was unaccounted for a few days, the most gloomy anticipations were entertained as to his probable fate. Strict inquiries were instituted, and it was ascertained that the last time he was seen alive he was about visiting Professor WEBSTER, who was indebted to him in a considerable amount, the non-payment of which had excited Dr PARILMAN'S anger in no ordinary degree. He was traced to the lecture-room of Professor WEBSTER in the middle of the day, about half-past one, P.M., on Friday, the 231 of November. No tidings of him could be learned subsequently to that visit. He had unquestionably entered the fatal apartment, but it could not be discovered that he had ever emerged therefrom ; there were " Vesiigia nulla retrorsum." It is almost unnecessary to say that the apartments of the Professor and all the places communicating therewith, in which the body, or even any portion of the property of Dr. PARKMAN could by any possi bility be concealed, were subjected to the most strin gent scrutiny, and at length the mutilated remains were discovered, partly concealed in a sink and partly buried in a cellar, to which there was means of access from the lecture-rooms of the Professor, who was thereupon taken into cus tody, and subsequently convicted of the murder ; a writ of error, which had been preferred on his behalf, being decided against him. There is now pending a petition for the commutation of the punishment, and the confession under notice, purporting to give an accurate account of the entire transaction, has been brought before the Council, whose decision will be conclusive as to the fate of the prisoner, by the Rev. Dr. PUTMAN, who is styled his, " spiritual adviser." For these facts we refer to that extraordinary docu- meat which appeared in extenso in The Sun of Wed nesday. It will be seen that the convict acknow ledges the homicide, but positively asserts that it was wholly unpremeditated—that it arose, in fact, from the momentary impulse of passion, occasioned by the gross and unwarrantable language of the deceased. It is scarcely probable that if the murder had been planned with malice aforethought that Professor WEBSTER would have invited his in tended victim some days previously to his own lec ture-room, in the most public hour of the day, when the precincts of the place intended to be con verted into a human shambles would most probably be crowded with students—and that by an unsealed note; and that he would have called at Dr. PARK.. sieN's house on the very morning. Had the murder been at that time determined, some other time and place would have been selected. The remainder of the statement follows naturally enough. Dr. PARK- M u A r N s t , 0 n intohearinga torrent t hat he of vituperation, was not t o receive his calling s money, the b Professor " scoundr e l an d li ar, and heaping on him the most bitter taunts and opprobrious epithets." The debtor who, according to his own statement, was "irritable and passionate," who declares that " a qubiecskehttaing sin of hisndedandb life; rief that violence h ofe h temper p teen an o rhad been nly a child, much indulged, and had never acquired. the control over his passions that should have been ac quired in early life," speedily grew indignant in turn. He ceased to apologise, and at length on Dr. PARKMAN " thrusting his flit in his face," he seized a stick that happened to be lying by, and with it dealt a single blow, which speedily proved fatal. In the deepest terror and remorse he endeavoured to re animate his victim, but in vain. Life had fled, and he found himself a homicide without the possibility of establishing the extenuating circumstances of the case. The other revolting facts, the dismemberment and concealment of the body naturally followed the first fatal error, and afford a further illustration of the truth of the old adage, " Nemo repente fuit turpis- simus." The fate of the murderer is as yet unknown in this country. A salutary warning may, however, be drawn from the entire transaction against the habitual use of intemperate language, which occasioned the death of Dr. PARKMAN, and against giving way to angry passions, which has led to a man of education and ability, and of great sensibility of disposition, which rendered him beloved by all his friends and acquaintances, being degraded from a respectable po sition in society to that of a convicted murderer, awaiting in trembling and agonised terror the final decision which may consign him to an ignominious death, or, under the most favourable circumstances, must condemn him to perpetual incarceration, which by many may be regarded as the more formidable branch of the alternative. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly voted the payment of the dowry of the Duchess of ORLEANS by a majority of 368 to 177 The speech of General De L4MORICIERE has caused terrible alarm among the Enfans terribles of the Ely 42, of whom M.

The disputes between General D'fisuzrouL and General CBANGARNIER have become of so aggravated a character that the former has, it is said, been forced to retire from the Ministry of War ; . it is added that General D'llAirrour, intends explaining to the .A.s semb ly the reasons which have led to his retirement from office, and directing attention to the danger to be apprehended from the misuse by General Cueri- GARNIEIL of the enormous powers entrusted to him.

The market closed firmly.— Railway Shares were flat. The Corn market has been rather firmer owing to the heavy rains. The Colonial produce markets have been fairly active this week, but without any particular change in prices. Sugar has maintained its value generally, but Planta tion Ceylon Coffee has been rather lower. The Indigo sales have concluded, and show a❑ advance compared with May. Tea has excited much attention among the trade. The West India Mail steamer Thames has arrived at Southampton, but her letters are not yet delivered. Late advices state that the colony of Liberia was in a very flourishing state, and perfectly free from sickness. There had been no shavers captured on the coast for some time previous. The health of the squadron on that sta tion was ♦ery good. Captain Caufield's vessel was boarded by the British brig-of-war Wolverine, and de tained some time, on suspicion of being a slaver, and was only released, after a thorough searching. Public attention does occasionally require to be roused to the position of railway companies, but it is extraor dinary that shareholders should, as a general rule, know so little of their own affairs. The way to elicit truth is to give a fair hearing to all sides, and if half be correct of what is contained in a letter from Mr. Thomas Wrigley, of Timberhurst, the condition of the East Lancashire line must be extremely unsatisfactory, though susceptible of great improvement. Much in this communication would apply to the manage• ment of railways in general, but space will nut allow of our entering into those details, and we address ourselves more particularly to one or two points, includ ing the great question of the day, Sunday travelling. Mr. Wrigley observes :—" The directors have, in direct violation of a vote of the proprietors, closed the railway on a Sunday to that description of traffic called 'cheap trips.' Whilst I exercise my own opinion on these matters, I am at the same time wishful to be tolerant to those of others, and all that I contend for is my right to a voice in determining this question. The principle upon which I raised the question last year was that the directors had no right to assume this power. That to suspend the profitable working of the railway in any degree out of regard to their own peculiar views, (granting them to be conscientious) is to appropriate the s property - of the shareholders to their own iisc;, by pur chasing at our expense, the gratification they covet of blockading the working classes of this densely peopled district, in their smoky towns, in their ill-ventilated houses, on this the only day in the week when they have the opportunity to breathe God's pure atmosphere, and admire his works, It is for the shareholders now again to say if they approve of this appro priation by the directors. I call upon them to say if this is to be a Puritanical railway, and, like the Post-office, to be shut up on Sunday. Thero should be no inconsistency. If it be allowed to carry a gentleman who can pay 5e., it cannot be wrong to carry a working man or his wife for 2s. 61. I con tend that the shareholders alone must determine this question, and say whether this railway, now the high road of the district, is to be made available for the ra tional and healthful recreation of the masses. Shall it he made to promote the physical. social, and moral welfare of tens of thousands of working men and women, on the only day when they have the means to write or read a letter, to visit a relative or friend, or shall it be a power in the hands of half-a-I,zen men who claim a monopoly of holiness, to use for their own personal gratification? It is a principle that I shall never cease to contend for, that so long as we outrage neither law nor custom, we have a right to use the railway for the accommodation of the public, and the profit of the shareholders; end when I inform them that this homage to cant is costing us on an average 3001. per weelr, through all the summer months, I think they will be of opinion that we are paying rather dear for this whistle of the directors. "Let me caution you against a very common result in railway difficulties, viz., a committee, or investigation, or consultation ; it can serve no practical end ; there is nothing to discover. The directors and their accounts are honest and true—their very truthfulness is their worst feature. You will see your capital is expended, your railway incomplete, your traffic decreasing, at a time when the whole district is enjoying un•. exampled prosperity, the working expenses enor mously extravagant, and an entire absence of dividend. What more do you require to know ? A change, a thorough change of men, is the only course left for you. The mere introduction of what is called new blood into the board will not cure the evil, unless it eradicate, root and branch, that which has bean the bane of this railway, viz., the disposition to keep the management in the hands of the directors. Apply the money now taken by the directors to the payment of a manager, and lot him have the opportunity of working the rail way clear of contending influences, with the single end in view, the profit of the shareholders, and I feel con fident, with an honest energetic man in this position, we shall see a change in the value of your proferty."

The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage, was limited; but a large portion of Monday's unsold supply was on off.r. Owing to the showery weather, factors were tolerably firm in the early part of the day, but subsequently they were compelled to accept is per quarter less money for the middling and inferior kinds, at !which the market closed heavily. Nearly 17,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in this week. For all descriptions, the demand was wholly in retail, and the currencies were next to nominal. Scarcely a sample of English Barley was shown; but the supply of Foreign was good. Malting parcels were held at lull prices. In other kinds next to nothing was doing. The quantity of Malt at hand is only 1,130 quarters; yet last week's quotations were barely supported. Very few home-grown Oats were received, but not less than 31,840 quarters have arrived from abroad. Good sound Corn was quite as dear, but damp qualities were easier. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Four were excessively dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. I Wheat. Barley. Oats. Malt. I Flour. artninix LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1850. A more desperate effort at political repression than any hitherto adventured upon by the counter-revo lutionists has just been made in the French Legisla tive Assembly. By a law introduced under the aus pices of the Reaction, journalism has been effectually gagged. Journalism, be it remembered ! Journalism, the voice of popular opinion ! Journalism, the organ of the multitude ! Journalism, that vast and almost übiquitous power which has thrice shaken down the bulwarks of royalty, laid bare the " official holy of holies," and rung the tocsin of three tre mendous revolutions ! It is in these magnificent antecedents that we can alone recognise the reason of this daring and most flagitious enactment. It is in consequence of the vengeance inspired by the previous achievements of the press that the most cowardly of all factions, the faction of reaction, has found courage at last, from the very desperation of its atrabilious temperament, to grapple with that visible Genius of. Democracy, whose grasp has already strangled the elder and the younger branches of the Bourbon dynasty, and whose struggles against oppression have from time to time convulsed the whole surface of Christendom. Madmen that they are, they cannot recognise through their infatuation a fact otherwise patent to the dullest com prehension, the fact that in thus boldly entering the lists against journalism they are, like their pedecessors, dooming themselves to inevitable destruction. As if that terrible truth had not been proved in bloody characters during the reign of terror and the days of the guillotine ! As if journalism, even when enervated with licentiousness, and degraded by cruelty, and debased by its associa tion with death and criminality, had not shown that its vitality defied all the forces of despotism, and evaded all the artifices of retrogressive conspirators! Why, the Pere Duehesne itself—that literary incar nation of all that was infamous, that corn pilation of indecencies and slang, of blackguardism and blasphemy—set at naught the repressive influence of a censorship not yet quite extinguished. The Vieux Cordeliers, with its incendiary wit, and insur rectionary declamation, assisted in smiting down the laws which had been created for its own destruction and for that of its contemporaries. The Arra du Peuple, though written as it were on the headsman's block, with a bayonet for a pen, and for ink the gore of the victims of assassination, survived the combined attacks of the administrative and legislative authorities. Nor can these things be regarded as any matter for astonishment when it is remembered that journalism —even journalism such as this—is the utterance of large masses of the population, and that to drown these utterances is as desperate and futile an aspira tion as to quench the flames of a volcano, or to allay the ravages of an earthquake. Yet the counter-re volutionists of 1850 are insanely endeavouring to repeat those exertions which have resulted in the total discomfiture of their precursors ; and this, more over, when the press of France is represented not by the ferocious squalor of MARAT, or by the sinister cruelty of ROBESPIEREE, or by the inflammatory fanaticism of DESMOULINS, but by the ability, the probity, and the sagacity of some of the most distinguished men of our generation. The tyrannical enactment just passed by the counter revolutionary majority of the Legislative Assembly becomes enhanced in severity, in our estimation, when we consider that its penalties are held in terrorern, not over the heads of demons like the Septembrists, bat over those of the witty MARRAST and the accomplished GIUARDIN, over the conciliatory graces of the feuilletonists, over the charming JAPIN and the indefatigable SouLIE. Bearing these facts in recollection, no ar gument is assuredly requisite to demonstrate the excessive folly of this most atrocious innovation, or to justify us in designating the Loi sur la Prase the most suicidal proceeding upon which the reactionists have yet adventured. The disfranchisement of three millions of voters throughout the Republican popula tion of France was of itself an act sufficiently cha racterised by its audacity. Yet even that flagitious movement of retrogression, when contrasted with the law affecting the press, sinks into utter and absolute insignificance. According to this enactment of the Legislative As sembly, influenced by such men as TUIERS, MOLE, and BERUYEE, the French newspapers are henceforth to be not under the jurisdiction of a Censor of the Press, but under the thumb of the Prefect of Police'. That official becomes empowered by this shameless system of retrogression to suppress at pleasure any journal or periodical whatsoever, reserving to a few select favourites the advantage of the consequent monopoly. Henceforth, moreover, no book or pamphlet consisting of merely three sheets can be legally issued without undergoing a tax of one sou per sheet prior to publication. Neither can the daily journal of Paris be adorned with its customary roman-feuilleton, unless graced with an additional stamp of one halfpenny ! Farewell, then, to the diurnal joys of the women of France, to the volup tuous imaginings of EUGENE SUE, and the romantic encyclopaedias of ALEXANDRE DUMAS. Even the Constitutionnel, it is to be feared, from the size of its sheet and the cheapness of its u by this addition a l impost, willbs be. compelled cry weighed down leaye uncompleted th e nove l r p w el e le i recently commenced in its feuilleton, by the versatile and perennial genius of LAMARTINE. The most r ema rka bl e clause, however, in the whole of this extraordinary enact ment is the one rendering it necessary for each indi vidual article in a newspaper to be authenticated by the signature of its contributor • It intended by this arbitrary arrangement to d • eprive journalism henceforth and for ever of its anonymous character and it is conjectured that by so doing it will be most effectually denuded of its enormous influence over the multitude. 'Whether this be the inevitable conse quence or not of the above tyrannical contrivance yet remains to be demonstrated : but, proven or not proven as to its result, the intention of the act is sufficiently obviuus and sufficiently execrable as one of atrocious despotism on the part of the counter revolutionists. As such it will be sedulously borne in remembrance by the people, and its recol lect:on carefully cherished for the ultimate -day of retribution. In reference to this the concLuding words of the oration delivered by General DE LAMORICIERE were prophetically significant, whe» on Tuesday last he exclaimed to the Legis lative Assembly :—" I have but one word more to say to you, to you who desire to maintain the Parliamentary Government: since the day when you he d satisfied, by your repressive measures, all that i. vas required is the name of order and security, every blow that you direct against li berty will ultimately turn against yourselves !" The re; oressive measure affecting journalism was fornaalll •• passed into a law while the walls of the GERMANY. The College of Princes assembled at Berlin, under the Presidency of RADOWITZ, are engaged in pre paring various projects of law to be submitted to the Erfurth Parliament, which meets on the 11th o,:tober next. HAYNAU intends residing at Hesse Cassel. IVELDEN Will, it is said, be superseded at Vienna, and RADETZK Y have associated with him a civil governor in Italy. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES The Holstein troops entered the town of Schleswig on the 14th. 'The advanced posts of the Dunes were at Flensberg. At Kiel, on the 15th, there were six Danish vessels of war and four Russians. The .Haniburgk Courant says— " The declaration whereby the integrity of the Danish monarchy is guaranteed will now be immediattly signed by Austria, and the hope is entertained that Prussia also will take part in an act whose only object is to secure the monarchy against the hereditary pretensions of am bitious Princes, and which doe s not i nvo lve any change in the relative position of Holstein and Lauenberg to the German Band. " We have already stated that this declaration contains nothing relative to a successor to the throne. Nor would this be conformable with the fundamental law of Den mark, which determines that any change in the succes sion proposed by the King must be sanctioned by a ma jority of three-fourths of the United Chambers." ITALY. - Intelligence has been received from Naples to the 11th inst. On the 10th the Count DE MONTEMOLIN was married at the Caserta to the Princess CAROLINE, sister of the King of NAPLES. The Duke DE Rivas, the Spanish Ambassador, at once demanded his pass ports, and left Naples the same day. MALTA. Letters from Malta of the 12th inst. announce that the Hogue screw steam-ship bad arrived on the 11th from Lisbon and Gibraltar. News from the fleet has reached Malta by the Oberon. The cholera was rapidly declining. Quarantine had been established —at Naples of 21 days, at Leghorn 7 days, and Corfu 10 days, on all arrivals from Malta, according to the last accounts. Oa the 10th inst. the Governor of Malta, as President of the Council, gave the fol lowing report on the attacks and deaths from the 9th of June to the 10th of July :—Of the population, 122 attacks and 89 deaths ; in the fleet, 32 attacks and 18 deaths ; in the garrison, 19 attacks and 19 deaths.

Business had improved since the last advices, notwithstanding the markets continued inactive, with cautious trade purchases. The weather had been favourable, with fine rains all over the country. The French islands, Guadaloupe and Martinique, were still under martial law, in consequence of in cendiarism. All was tranquil at Cuba, but a strict blockade was still kept up. The cholera was but trifling at Havanna') ; it bad much declined. In the city of Mexico, however, it was raging, as well as in the interior. MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS. We have received the following communication from the committee of Mexican bondholders July 18, 150. "The committee of Mexican Bondholders have re ceived advices of the shipment of 42,000 dollars to the Bank of England towards the payment of the Mexican dividends, from Vera Cruz, where the amount pending for account of the bondholdt rs or the 15th Juno was es timated at 136.641 dollar.; 28 cents." SITE OF THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.—The local committee of Manchester has passed the following resolu tions:--" of which llyde-park tions:—" That recollecting Hyde-park, as well as the other parks about London, is provided at the expense of the nation --and seeing that out of 1,00 consists, only 25 acres are proposed to be temporarily appro priated for the exhibition of industry, this committee has witnessed with astonishment and regret the attempts made to interfere with the plans of the Commissioners, so far as re lates to the site for the building; an attempt to prevent the occupation of a small part of a park belonging to the public for an exhibition so national in its character, one in which the general public are so much interested, and one for which invitations have been issued to the whole civilized world. That this committee approves the site selected, and is of opinion that the objections urged by interested parties are entirely di spose d o f b y the temperate but unansw er a ble re port transmitted to the Lords of the Treasury by the Com missioners of W oo d s an d Forests."

For the time of year, the numbers of Sheep were good; nevertheless, tho demand for that description of stock ruled tolerably firm, at Monday's decline in value. Prime Down Lambs were scarce, and in moderate re gut•st, at late rates. Otherwise, the Lamb trade was inactive. Calves—the supply of which was good — moved off slowly, at late rates.
