MOT!-TP.:;‘l and 4,--204.ireilERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday, was not quite so active, and clos ed heavil y; p however, were supported. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for exportation; the sales comprised 2,500 American, 700 Pernam and Ma ranbam et eid. to 7d., 100 Bahie at 68d. to 7d., and 200 Egyptian at 7d. to 71d. per lb.—Railway shares were somewhat lower. The Colonial produce e - arketa have been heavier this week, and speculators having gone as far, apparently, as they et present seem disposed, a pause eusues, and there is very proper caution on the part cf the trade. Messrs. Franks and Milliard inform us that— " Only limited parcels of produce have been imported since our last report, still a large number of public sales are declared, consisting for the most part of sugar, tea, and spices. In sugar operations have been to some extent for home trade purposes, but the market has been well supplied, and prices are not so firm as they v ere at the early part of the week. In Foreign there has not been much business done, still, on the part otholders, firmness is apparent, and there is not a more plentiful supply. Of refined goods supply is small, and as the home trade demand is active, former rates are well supported. In crushed sugar not so much has been done, and late rates are not to be obtained. In tea there was a good deal done at an early period of the wet k, whilst an advance was obtained for all stets ; but the market has exhibited a quiet aspect since Thursday, and prices are not supported. In well-informed quarters the impression is that there will be no reduction in the duty on tea, and in this we fully ogre'. Cocoa continues to :ell well, and it is evident that prices will be h iglea The rice market has become dull, and reduced rates are rice , ded to. For spices generally there is a further advance, and much demand exists, whilst supplies keep small. In the spirit trade there has been more activity, and at late rates there are not sellers. In the market for saltpetre much activity has existed, and the upward tendency continues. Of cochineal the parcels sold have been much larger than in the fer nier week. In lac dye the sales made have been upon a large reale, and a further rise in the velue is appa rent. In tallow there has not teen so much business done, and former terms are not to be obtained." , The following, if it be really au impartial statement, is important to trade especially : " The events that have transpired in connexion with the coffee trade (luting the last few days, and those that are on the eve of taking place, have exceeded our most saoguine expectations, and must at once convince our readers that the strin gent remarks made in our last Circular, that there was no real cause for the late rapid advance in price', and 'that the demand had been of an artificial cha racter, were founded upon careful, elaborate, and sound calculations', and so the event is proving. Our views with respect to the unstable position of the market have been diaaetninated extensively by the London and provincial press; our reasoning and statistical stateineuta render ing the matter of fact less . intricate, and far easier of solution to -parties Lot conversant with the movements in the coffee trade. The heaviness in the market has further inereared, and prices suffered a de cline; the chipping demand has altogether ceased, on speculation there has been scarcely any busi ness done; the trade have become apprehensive of the market, and as if by common consent have refrained from purchasing more than their imme diate wants compel them. In this they are fully justified, as it is quite apparent that tae time is ap proaching when an important decline will take place in prices. We are induced to make this hold as sertion upon these facts, that the deficiency with respect to the Rio and Java coffee crops Lai he.: , n greatly misrepresented, and will of the former not exceed five, and of the latter ten per cent. Of Ceylon there will be an abundant crop, whilst in other coffee producing countries the yield will exceed that of t':e three previous seasons. The low prices of that time were the means of keeping hack vast quanti ties of black and Wage coffee at the places of produc tion, but the high prices now current will be the cause of these sorts being sent to this market. It is also known to some of the leading houses in the City that many American vessels are loading coffee for this countr y , quence of which preparations are being made at this port and at Liverpool to receive this addition to trade. This in connexion with other events alluded to must convince disinterested pat ties that in lieu of there being a deficient supply this season, there will actually be a considerable inct eabe over the importation of 1849. It is also a well known fact that in America Native Ceylon coffee is not suited for the consumption by reason of a want of strength, and the coffee used by the chief por tion of the inhabitants is strong Rio, indeed Native Cey lon coffee in the States would not be used even at 30s. per cwt. By accounts just come to hand from Ceylon, it appears that so unstable were prices of coffee consi dered there, that some shipping houses had declined to make advances, consequently a large proportion of the crop will be shipped to this country." Toe accounts from Amsterdam, of the 22d inst., notice a limited demand for home securities, but at firm prices. Mexican, Venezuela, and Grenada, were higher. At Frankfort, on the 21st inst., the Mettllics were 866, and at Vienna, on the same day, 961. In the English Stock Market there is still some flat ness, and a small sale or two for money has had some effect upon it, chiefly because of the inactivity of speculations. The unseemly temper exhibited in the French Assembly is likewise not without its influence here. Consols have ranged from 96 to 96k for Transfer, and from 96* to for Account, the present value being 96k The New Three-and - a - Quarter pe r C ents. have been quoted 981 to and the Three per Cents. 96* to 4.

The foreign imports have amounted to 8,050 quarters-4,000 being from Odessa in of e vessel. Fine parcels were mostly held at late rates, but the middling and inferior qualities had, in some in stances, a down tad tendency.

ROSS S EXPEDI TIOL—The Arctic expedition lately returned was fur nished by the Admiralty : with fifteen chronometers of various makers, which„from the t me they left Eng'and until their return, were rated every day.by comparison and registers befit of their performance. These journals have now been received at the Admiralty, and, accord ing to them, eight were employed on board the Enter prise, and seven on board the Investigator. Tta two selected, after trials on the voyage, as the standards were Loseby, No. 113, f.,r the Enterprise, and No. 119 by the same maker for the Investigator ; and it was chiefly by these that the vessels were navigated - home, as neither the low and variable tem' eratures to which they were exposed, nor the violent shocks the vessels received from the ice, materially affected their rates ; for the longitude as indicated by the m was found, on reaching England, to have been given with great accuracy. Both. these chronometers were of the mercurial construction, invented by Mr. Loseby, which has proved so successful in the trials at the Observatory, Greenwich, for several years past. How USEFULNES S I S T O DE ESTIMATED. — The usefulness of a man is not to be estimated by the length of time during which he is employed, but by the charac ter of the resources, powers, and qualifications, which he combines, and puts vigorously in operation, while he is engaged in any undertaking. Some men will be more useful in an hour than others will in a year. — Eliza Ccoles Journal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. expressing your just abhorrence of the audacious aid the house of Barings is about to give to despotic Russia you have (if I mistake not) cited the excuse which is brought as an argument in favour of such aid, and have condemned it, but have not shown the distinctive difference of circumstances wherein the argument is sometimes good, or wherein, as in this instance, it is as false as it is atrocious. I refer to the argument or proposition that "Barings are not responsible for the purposes to which Russia applies their aid"—that " one person is not responsible for the evil which another commits through the means given him." Now, Sir, you, and many of your readers, know full well that this is sometimes true and sometimes false ; but there is as important portion of your readers (the honest but illiterate) who may, in the instance before us, be misled by the vile Mammon wrought hypocritical misapplication of this argument. Let it then be distinctly set out under what circum stances it is right and under what it is wrong. It is, I apprehend, right when it embraces the fol lowing characteristics :- Ist. Whenever the aid or deed be benevolent and moral. 2d. Whenever the agent is ignorant of, or does not suspect a bad application. 3d. When the act itself is in compliance with an imperative duty. Thus, under the first, if I send or sell my afflicted neighbour " a little wine for his stomach's sake," and he drinks it to excess, I am not responsible. If under the second, I send him arsenic fo r h is ra t s, and and he take it himself s • I am not responsible, fur I was ig, .norant of his intention. ♦nd if,, under the third; I pay my taxes, and " ren der to Caesar the things.which are Caesar's," and he devotes them to bloodshed, I am not responsible, for I obeyed a Divine command. Or, if in saving the life of my friend I chance to disfigure him I am not responsible, for I performed a duty. Under all such circumstances the principle is "Do right, leave Heaven to answer for the rest ;" hut re verse the circumstances, and a man is responsible fur the consequences of his deed. If the druggist knew that the arsenic was for the purpose of suicide, or (what perhaps is worse) for the murder of a third innocent party, would not the villain be responsible ? And, mark you, Sir, that so fully has the very Legislature of this country recognized this principle of responsibility, that every druggist in our land is, I believe, prohibited from selling poisons except under certain regulations, or he is held responsible for their misuse. But what, Sir, are the case and circumstances of Baring Brothers ? They are lending money under a false pretence. They are aiding a despot in his suppression of truth and butchery of innocence. They are sending money abroad that their neigh bours require at home. They rob this nation, and render our expensive fleet necessary, by aiding the very power that fleet is maintained to keep in check. They hold up the odious Jesson, the vile example to a suffering people, that they are not responsible for the powers they possess and confer. They force a dangerous = wish into every noble breast, that if this privilege be allowed to wealth, the sooner the rich be brought low the better. .►nd Baring Brothers! hear it ye slaves of /tam mon and Despotism ! ye do all this for the accursed selfishness of a little gain. You not responsible ? No benevolence demands this aid; no ignorance of the purpose for which it is wanted palliates it ;;no Divine command calls it from you. Not one circumstance which frees a moral agent from responsibility belongs to your case ; but you stand out before the whole world, once and for evermore, a blackened voluntary abettor of cruelty and oppression, hellish in its character, and universal in its object. —I am, Sir, &c., Cheltenham, Jan. 23, 1850. DALETH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—We observed in your paper of Tuesday last the report of a case headed " A pair of Miscreants,' which case was heard before the police magistrate at Marlborough-street, the forenoon of that day, wherein John Munden and Nathaniel Lukina were charged with an indecent exposure. There is a statement in that report, which we will thank you to correct as soon as possible. According to your report, the prisoner Munden represented himself to be a plumber, residing in Coleman-street, whereas the fact is, he was only a journeyman in our employ. The supposition of the prisoner Munden being a partner in our firm is calculated seriously to injure us. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, BUFFAM AND MUNDEN, Plumbers, &c., 20, Coleman-street. Jan. 26, 1850. CONCENTRATED TINCTURE OF CAPSICUM A REMEDY FOR CHILBLAINS AND TOOTH. ACHE. BY A. TURNBULL, M.D. At this season few diseases are so general as chil blains, and the plans that are generally employed for their removal are seldom attended with more than very slight advantage to the sufferers. It is a disease that attacks most generally females and delicate children, and those of a languid circulation. The very numerous and various medicines which hare been from time to time employed, prove very clearly that no very effective or successful plan of treatment has hitherto been found. Such is the present state of treatme - t both of chilblains and toothache. My plan ( f treatment is simply to saturate a piece of sponge or flannel with the concentrated tincture of cap sicum, end to rub well over the seat of the chilblains until such time as a strong tingling or electrical feeling is produced. This medicine possesses an extraordinary power in removing congestion by its action upon the nerves and circulation. This application ought to be continued daily until the disease is removed; relief will be experienced on the very first application, and frequently there will be a total removal t.f the disease after the second or third. This of course depends upon the severity of the cosy. This embrocation when rubbed, never produces excoriation it the skin is not broken. The manner of using it for toothache, is by putting a drop or two of the tincture on coitor, and applying it to the part affected— the relief will be immediate. The following is the formula:— Tinctura Capsici Concentrata. 13 , Capsici Baccarum, Spiritus Vini Rect., 3xij. Macera per dies septem et cola. It may also be made with advantage by displacement. 16, ➢lanchester-square, Jan. 17th, 1850. —From the Medical Journals. DESTRUCTION OF THE SEAT OF THE DUKE OF MONTROSE BY FINE.—We are informed that the pic tures, including that of the " Great Marquis of Mon trose," are saved, and all the family records also. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. —Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave a splendid banquet to the corporations of Hastings and Rye and a select party of his immediate friends. The dinner, which was pro vided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer in the most sumptuous manner, was served in the Egyptian Hall, in which were assembled at six o'clock about 180 guests. The usual loyal and national toasts having been drunk, complimen tary toasts, adapted to the occasion followed, and were enthusiastically received. The entertainment was en livened by the vocal exertions of Mr. Hobbs and his assistants, and the band of the Coldstream Guards, led by Mr. Harper on the trumpet, performed frequently throughout the evening. The Mayor of Hastings pro posed the health of the Lord Mayor; and the Mayor of Rye proposed that of the Lady Mayoress. The guests were all evidently delighted with the brilliant and hos pitable reception given them by the Chief Magistrate of London. LOQUACITY AND RESERVE.-.--The ideas of a great talker differ very much from those of the reserved man —the former being superficial and comparatively value less while the latter (generally vented in proverb s ) are truthful, impressive, and profound. The language of the former skips along as easily and gracefully as the greyhound, while, on the contrary, that of the lat ter proceeds slowly, lumsily, and heavily onwards, like the ponderous and unwieldy elephant. He finds it difficult to give utterance to his thoughts, which rush forward to the portal of his mouth in such crowds that they in fact block it up. Whom ar you meet with a man of this kind, give him time, and do not mistake his tedious tar diness for ignorance or imbecility of mind. In nine cases out of ten he has lived in solitude, and because he has not been habituated to conversation, his tongue grows so rusty that, when he does venture into society, no one will wait till he is drawn out, and therefore his reserve continues to increase. Do not contemptuously turn your back upon him but listen, and he will, in all likelihood, repay your civility with interest. The eagle is a solitary bird, and his voice may be harsh, but still he is an eagle nevertheless. Do not imagine that he is dead or asleep, but be more attentive to natare. The gun is silent until its note is one of triumph ; the tiger's fatal spring and. terrific roar are simultaneous ; the vol cano is silent' liPkire an eruption; and all nature seems dead' before the tornado and the . earthquake. Nature employs, silence to concentrate her energies, that the effect may be more appalling and sublime. As iron, by long exposure to the action of fresh water, has a rusty exterior, but is iawardly improved in quality, so the rust of the reserved man is only superficial, while his ideas, over which the stream of time has passed, are susceptible of a higher polish, and sink more forcibly into the mind of his hearer. The diamond is a rough, dull stone, when first brought from it; rocky bed, yet it receives from the lapidary a brilliancy, almost capable of dispel ling the gloom of night.—Eliza Cook's JournaL THE STATIONERS AND PAPER MANUFACTURERS' PROVIDENT SOCIETY.—The eighth annual bill of this society took place at Willis's-rooms St. James's. on Wednesday evening, and was very fully attended. The. company numbered nearly 400, amongst whom were many leading and influential members of the trade. The efficient arrangement of the secretary and stewars, both in the musical and supper departm ents, appeared d to give general satisfaction, and dancing was kept up with much spirit till a late hour.

WINDSOR CASTLE THEATRICALS. The forthcoming performances at the Royal Palace at Windsor were originally intended (as last season) to consist of file, but, in consequence of the lamented decease of the Queen Dowager, and the Court mourning, have been necessarily restricted to two, which are to take place on Friday the Ist, and Friday the Bth, of February. Shakspere's magnificent drama of Julius Ccesar is selected for the first—one of the noblest creations of his genius, embodying and placing before us, in vivid reality, and with all the graphic identity of Plutarch, the startling incidents of one of the most important periods of the world's history, with the mighty agents that produced them. The selection of such a play evinces a true dramatic discernment and a re • fined taste. Among other points of interest, the two most cele brated actors of the day, Mr. C. Kean and Mr. Macready will appear together for the first, and in all probability for the only time, as the latter gentle man has announced his approaching retirement from the stage. In addition to these two " choice and master spirits of the age," in the characters of Marc Antony and Brutus, the cast will include a powerful array of talent, selected with care and judgment—in cluding Mr. Wallack as Cassius, Mr. Cooper as Caeca, and Mrs. Warner as Portia. The second representa tion was to have been the first part of Shakspere's Henry IV.; but a domestic affliction will prevent Mr. Bartley from appearing as Falstaff, which be was about to undertake at the Royal request. This play would have been most efficiently represented, and doubtless, supported by such talent, have afforded infinite satisfac- tiori. Mr. C. Kean would have sustained the character of Hotspur, Mr. Waßack that of the Prince, Mr. Cooper the King, and MIT. C. Kean the subordinate part of Lady Percy—an example which may be pro fitably observed by other professional ladies, as afford ing in her eminent position a marked instance of the absence of all personal ambition, and a praiseworthy desire to promote the general effect. Under the pain ful circumstances that have occasioned the alteration of this tragedy, Mrs. Kean has been called upon to substitute her exquisite delineation of King .Renf a Daughter, supportsd, as at the Haymarket, by her husband in the trifling part of Sir Tristan, and Mr. Wallack as King Rene ; to be followed by Charles XII., including Mr. Webster, Mr. Wallack, Mr. Har ley, Mr. Leigh Murray, and i‘fr.B. - )yce; Miss K. Fitz william, and Miss Jane Mordaunt. The advantages of this private patronage of the drama, in the highest quarter, are sufficiently manifest. The state visits of Royalty to the theatres, ,on specific occasions, are certainly very beneficial to the treasuries of the managers, iiud gratifying to the public ; but, passing away as thel pageants of an hour, and looked upon as matters ,of course, they produce no permanent effect either on the dramatic art, or the social and public condition of its professors ! On the other hand, the private performances at Windsor Castle are well calculated to enhance both. The Queen and Prince Albert have selected for their domestic recreation a sterling English enter tainment. ; and it. behoves all connected with the stage to afford every facility in their power to promote the present object, the motive of which is as kind as the taste is pure. We congratulate Mr. Charles Kean on being chosen to fill the post of arbiter elegantiarum on these occasions.

REPRESENTATION OF LIMERICK.—TIIO Limerick Reporter says—" It is rumoured that Mr. Lamie Murray is about to stand for the representation of the city on repeal principles." MURDER alai SUICIDE at MANCHESTER The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Novelli was held on Wednesday evening, at the Griffin Inn, Lower Broughton, before Mr. W. S. Rutter, county coroner. Mr. J. H. Hampson, jun., who acted as the soli citor to the execu t ors o f th e ate Mr. Lewis Novelli, husband to the deceased Mrs. Novelli, deposed that he had been in th e h a bit o f see i ng Mr. A. liovelli on business matters; that he had one or two interviews with him on the 15th of December, again on the 26th of December, and several times a ft erwar d s . Th a t Mr. Movelli h ad: said on one occasion when going through a number of accounts, "I must give up this work, it makes my head feel bad ; it makes me ill, and confuses me;" and on two or three occasions after the 26th of December, he said, " Well, this busi ness upsets me ; I hardly know what I am doing, my head is so bad." He also on one occasion said that the medical men had told him that be must not exert himself too much, or it would make him ill. On another occasion we had some conversation as to the transaction of the business with the Stamp-office, in the course of which he became cross and irritable, more so than I had ever seen him before. While I was adding some accounts, he made. a remark which I did not catch, and after I had finished I asked him what he said. He did not rep l y, but continued staring at the fire, and did not look at me. He never spoke again, but jump e d up from the chair, slipped on his coat in a minute, much quicker than I could ever have done, and bounced out of the room without saying a word to me. I remember him at school nineteen or twenty years ago, and he was always looked upon as a weakly soft-headed boy compared with . his brothers. He was decidedly passionate and impulsiVe, and did not control himself. Mr. Charles H. Bowker confirmed the evidence given by Mr. Hampson, that he was extremely irri table and excited by the least thing. He was a tem perate man. He was in business in London on his own account, in partnership with one or two other persons, seven or eight years ago. That partnerehip 1 ceased about four years ago, and since that time /as had been in no business. Mrs. Novelli, his motleer, was insane, and was confined for some years ; and two brothers also died by their own hands ; a sister of his also is not in a sound state of mind. Mr. Custon stated, that in the morning the bed candlesticks were still in the room upon the table ; one of the candles was burnt down to the socket, and the other did not appear to hale been lighted ; and that Alexander .Novelli had blundered up to bed in the dark, as there was no candle in his room. Mr. Harrison, surgeon, said, that not only would it be possible, but extremely probable, that such a person as Mr. Novelli had been represented in the evidence to be would, under extreme excitement, be betrayed into maniacal impulses. There are many cases of that nature. People who are capable of pur , suing the usual transactions of life without showing any external appearances of insanity may, from a sudden impulse, commit either great crimes or some act that would fall under the common denomination of insanity. The Couotsen then summed up the case at some length, after which the jury deliberated for about a quarter of an hour, and then returned a verdict— " That Mr. Novelli had destroyed the lives, first o f Mrs. Novelli, and rfterwards of himself; being at the time of unsound mind."

The daisy that " never dies" is the flower which we are most to.find on a January day, when the sun has melted the snow from the grass. The simple daisy was once a flower of great renown, and was called in England either Herb Margaret or Day's-eve; and it still bears the name of Marguerite in France. It was the device of the un fortunate Margaret of Anjou, and when that Queen was in prosperity, her nobles wore it in wreaths in their hair, or had it embroidered on their robes. That noble minded woman, Margaret of Valois—the friend of Erasmus . and Calvin- = else who could retire from the admiration and glitter of courts to study her Bible and her own heart—she, too, - had the daisy-flower worn in her honour, and was called by her brother, Francis 1., his "Marguerite of Marguerites." The daisy grows in fields throughout Europe, and is as common in the Italian fields as in ours. The children of Italy gather it as an early favourite, and call it Pratolina (meadow flower).—The Gardener's Hive. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION.—The average rate of purchase that may be offered for estates sub mitted for sale by the commissioners has become a subject of anxious speculation. Previous to the pe riod of sale the commissioners are to receive pri vate biddings, subject, of course, to the public sale subsequently. It is stated that there are parties ready to offer twenty-two years' purchase fo_r tte . ex tensive estates of Mr. John O'Connell,. much depends upon first tale under the commission. So hat the amount of rent and situate in the county of Berry, and which o f be peculiar circumstances, such as the amount of rent and the solvency of tenants, that may be difficult to the solvency . of tenants, value from any In that of the 0 Connell estates there a n t; li t h e t e ordinary way to particulaccase., l distinct p roperties, including well-secured are severs l form a criterion of f ot t h e r oth ers c a t r u e a let En hea - d the occupying tenants. But, supposing those estates all round to be very well circumstanced, 22 years' purchase would be an excellent price, proving the existence of full c onfidence on the part of the bidders in the value of Irish land as a profitable investment. DEATH OF THE WIDOW OF DR. CHALMEES.—We much regret to understand that this amiable lady, the relict of the Rev. Dr. Chambers. expired on Tuesday last, thus surviving her distingushed husband but about two years. We believe many of our reverend friends and others will hear of this event with much feeling, from their experience in past times of the now " death divided" family, and the mild, unassuming, motherly demeanour of the respected deceased. Seven daughters, two of whom a7e married, survive their excellent parents. —Edinburgh Evening Post_ MI STERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A FEMALE:.
