THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. MEETING IN CRIPPLEGATE WARD A meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of Crip plegate was held yesterday, in the Philip-lane School-room, for the purpose of considering the pro priety of addressing her Majesty upon the recent assumption of the Bishop of Rome to exercise spiritual jurisdiction within this country, by dividing the same into bishoprics, and thereby to usurp the prerogative of the Crown. The chair was occupied by Thomas Challis, Esq., Alderman of the ward. The CHAIRMAN opened the business of the day by stating that he had felt great pleasure in calling this meeting, not only because he had received a large and respectably-signed requisition to do so, but be cause he believed that the present desire of Rome was not only to obstruct the progress of Protes tantism, but to aim a blow at the political freedom of this country. Pure civil and religious liberty arose with the Reformation; and though he would not deny to his Roman Catholic fellow-subject the same freedom of thought which he enjoyed himself, he was not disposed to see the dissemination of Romish error without making an endeavour to stop its progress by the aid of Protestant faith. Protestantism was the supporter of freedom, Roman Catholicism its op ponent ; and when he remembered the baneful influ ence which the Pope had exercised over other coun tries, and looked at the secessions which some of our bishops and ministers had been guilty of, he could not help thinking that meetings of this nature were absolutely necessary to secure the integrity of the British nation. Mr. F. BENNOCH was called upon to move the first resolution, and explained the reasons which had induced him and others to propose this meeting. He was not, he said, opposed to every man worshipping in the manner which his own conscience suggested, but as a Protestant Dissenter he could not allow Romanism to be recognised by the law of the land. It was dangerous to the freedom of the subject, but he did not think Rome was so much to blame for its arrogant pretensions as a few bishops he could name, and one of the Universities, which was the hotbed of Romanism. He was not sorry that a Commission had been appointed to investigate the state of both Universities, for it was high time that the abuses which characterised them were remedied. Those in stitutions ought to be closed to no one on account of his religious opinions ; and when he came to compare the state of morality in England with that of America, he was strongly disposed to think that the Church of England had grossly neglected its duties, and that a separation of Church and State would be a great benefit to the nation. Nor was the corporate system of this great city entirely free from abuses, and while they raised their voice ggainst Churchianity of every sort, if he might so call it, let them at the same time struggle to obtain civil and religious liberty for every true born Englishmen, no matter whether he were Catholic or Protestant. He had, therefore, great pleasure in moving them to adopt this resolution :—" That the recent arrogant assump tion of the Pope of Rome to establish of his own authority within this kingdom a Romish hierarchy calls for the immediate condemnation of the people of this Protestant country, and ought to be met with the most determined resistance that the laws and con stitution of the land will afford." Mr. HEVIETSON seconded the resolution. Mr. MORBLY was decidedly opposed to the arro gance of Rome, but he very much feared that if they adopted the resolution in its present form it would be sanctioning a principle that might hereafter recoil upon themselves. Let every man be left to the guidance of his own conscience, and if wished to have a bishop, who could deny that he had every right to receive one? Why, then, declare that the present movement of the Catholics demanded the utmost re sistance of the law and constitution of the land, when in a very short time some of the Bishops of the Established Church might go over to Rome and coerce them in the same way that they now proposed to oppose the Cardinal and Bishops of Rome. He would, therefore, move the following amendment : " That this meeting desires to place upon record the expression of its earnest attachment to the great principles of the Reformation, and of its utter re pudiation both of the practices and principles of the Romish Church. It regards the late proceeding of the Papal Court in claiming spiritual jurisdiction in this country as an arrogant assumption, which, how ever, is the natural result, in the judgment of this meeting, of the fact that there is within the Estab lished Church of the country a large number of the clergy who, while professing allegiance to that Church and partaking of its emoluments, have been traitors to the truth she professes to teach. This meeting would, however, deprecate as both inexpedient and unjust any attempt to repress error, or to promote to uth, by legislative interference, as inevitably involv ing a violation of the rights of conscience, confidently believing that there will be found in the earnest recognition by the whole of the people of the great Protestant principle of the right of private judgment, the best security against the progress of error." This amendment gave rise to considerable dis cussion. Mr. HEALD reminded the meeting that the Catho lic Bishops were opposed to religious freedom ; nay, they had sworn to exterminate, if they could, all who professed different principles to themselves. Those, then, who were favourable to civil liberty, and religious freedom and toleration, would unite with him in call- iota. upon this Government to take "the bull by the horns," and expel the Cardinal and all his bishops. Mr. HESLOP took a similar view of the matter, and pronounced it to be the duty of Government to as semble Parliament together at once if the law was insufficient to meet the crisis. Mr. BENNoca said the amendment was in spirit the same as the resolution. Mr. MORELT did not think so. The law ought not to be exercised against any class, either to extermi nate or enforce their religious views. He did not believe it was in the power of the Throne to do what the original resolution required; it would be despotic. The amendment was then put and negatived, after which the original resolution was carried with only two dissentients. Mr. IVINDG ROVE moved the second resolution as follows :—" That whilst as Protestant Reformers we maintained and secured for our Roman Catholic fellow-subjecta the right of full and equal participa tion in matters of religious opinion (which we are still prepared to maintain), we never intended to concede to any foreign power or potentate any spiritual or temporal jurisdiction whatever within tbis kingdom." This motion, having been seconded, was carried unanimously, after which, an address to her Majesty, founded upon the foregoing resolutions, was agreed to, and the business of the day terminated. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting, which was very numerously attended, broke up. ITALY. Accounts from Rome state that a large crowd had assembled round the hotel of the Count de Manta lambert for the purpose of giving the worthy Jesuit a charivari, but the Papal Sbirri interfered to prevent it, and now all the approaches to the Hotel Cesari are rigorously guarded, and those who approach too near the place of refuge of the pious chronicler of the miracles of the winking Virgin of Rimini, are arrested. The grave of Eugene Quaglierni, one of the vic tims of clerical vengeance, who refused to confess to the priest before he was shot, is every evening covered with fresh flowers, to the great horror of the priests, wbo have, as usual, caused several persons to be arrested. Signior Rossi was, when the French army entered Rome, appointed interpreter to the French staff. In this capacity it became his duty to accompany a French major to a monastery, where he had determined to quarter his troops, as they were in want of shelter. The monks vowed vengeance, and on the return of the Pope and Cardinals Rossi was served with an order of exile. The French'council of war took the matter up; the staff inte rested themselves in his behalf all was, however, in vain, he was forced to quit Rome, and the utmost that General Gemeau was able to do for him was to give him a free passage to Mar seilles in a French steamer. The number of persons exiled from Rome, since the return of the Pope, is 36,000. The Armonia, the clerical journal of Turin, speaks of the charivari intended for M. de Montalambert, at Rome. AERONAUTICS IN AMERICA. ASCENSION OF CAPTAIN JOHN TAGGART'S FLYING MACHINE. (From the N ew Yor k Herald of Oct. 31, 1850.) The announcement that a flying machine would g o up from the Thatch e d C ottage Garden , in Jers e y city, yesterday afternoon, d rew several thusani per sons to that place to witness the exhibition of the wonderful invention. The strip of land lying between the Morris Canal and the bay was the spot fixed upon by the proprietor of the machine to test its capacity, and three o'clock was the hour fixed upon for its ascension. Innumerable cas k s of acids for the generation of the gas were prepared, and the inflation went on finely, while the thousands of curious visitors inspected the machine which was expected to fly. The car was of the shape of a fiat boat, and had two arms like those of a windmill, to be used as a propelling power, and a long rudder, made of cotton goods, with which to direct its course through the air. Three o'clock came, but the balloon was not ready, and the people grew impatient. Pretty soon, however, the inflation was stopped, and the car brought forward. Some diffi culty here occurred, and it became necessary again to put on the gas to give the balloon more power. About four o'clock, all things being ready, the pro wit tor took his seat in the car, and one uni versa l s h ou t tent the air as h e severed the rope which bound the balloon to the earth. The greatest possible curiosity was now manifested, and the balloon waved to north ward with the wind. It rose beautifully for a few feet, and gently descended into the Morris canal, immersing the projector to his waist. As soon as this was done the people yelled, and a cannon on hand for the purpcss was fired, the gunner think ing that everything was right. A boat was at once dispatched, and the man and car taken to the north side of the canal, when two ropes y ere made fast to the balloon for the purpose of taking it to the place of starting, to try it again. When about half way across the canal, one of the ropes broke, and those holding the other becoming fearful lest they should be carried up, let go, and the bal loon and car rose rapidly, leaving the aeronaut on the ground, looking upward at his loss. This mishap, too, was followed by a yell from the people, who seemed to enjoy the sport very much. The balloon ascended in a north• east direc Lion until it was lost sight of in the distance, and the immense crowd dispersed, chuckling over the ill luck of the proprietor of the balloon. The time for the second ascension was not announced." The New York Journal of Commerce has a diffe rent account of the ascension of Captain Taggart. It is as follows :—"Balloon Ascension.—The city was all agog yesterday afternoon to witness Captain Taggart's experiment at aerial navigation. He ascended from Jersey city about four o'clock, in the presence of a large throng of spec tatofs, and passed over the city in a northerly direction, on a bee-line for Boston. The tele graph has not yet announced his arrival. To his balloon he attaches a pair of revolving fans, which he turns with a crank, also an apparatus for steering. The Captain confidently asserts his ability to crossthe Atlantic to Europe in three days." cheaper ; 27 casks at auction selling at 3s ld to 3s 2d for good first, and at 2s 9d to 2s 10d for seconds.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 19. (Before Mr. Baron MARTIN and a Common Jury.) the length of fixing upon the plaintiff some few immodest and indecent expressions, and not one wrong act. From the moment when she devoted herself to the defendant, it was not insinuated that she had kept herself anything but pure and spotless, and, whatever might have been her previous conduct, he asserted that she was quite as capable of feeling the circumstances of insult and degra dation which had been showered upon her as if she had been the most chaste woman. Was it for them, on such evidence as had been brought before them, that by an adverse verdict, or by a verdict of nominal da mages only, that she should 'be cast forth into the world and spurned from every door? That was not the sentence which a just jury would give. If his client hail suffered wrong, she was entitled to compensation for her wrong. In con sidering all the circumstances of this case, he (the Learned Sergeant) implored them to take every circum stance carefully and minutely under their attention. It his view of the law were correct, the plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict, whatever might have been her conduct, if the defendant had known of the circumstances of that dissolute conduct. In consider- Several undefended clauses were disposed of 'at the sitting of the Court, none of which presented any fea ture of interest. ing the amount of damages, let them remember from the first period since they had become acquainted, that the defendant had never contributed one tarthing to her support, except the 2s. U. per week which the parish obliged him to pay for the infant. Not one sixpence had been advanced by him since the time that the attachment had commenced up to the present moment. He had recapitulated all the evidence to them which was of any note, the rest he contendel proved nothing, and he would dismiss them to their verdict, earnestly en treating them to consider the state of things which might be produced by the verdict which they were about to give. If they should hereafter hear that this unfortunate woman, in consequence of their proceedings, was beg ging from door to door, exposed to misery and want, let them give such a verdict now as would justify their con sciences then. The Learned Counsel then sat down amidst some disposition to applaud from the persons pre sent in the court. Mr. Baron MARTIN told the jury that in this case the chief question for them to decide would be the amount of damages, since it was not denied that the contract had been made, and that with a full knowledge of all those circumstance of immodest conduct which were alleged as the reason for having broken it. He called their attention to the fact that it had not been alleged that any person but the defendant had ever had criminal connexion with the girl, while, on the other hand, if she were really a good girl, it would have been very easy to have brought forward witnesses of her good character. If, however, they were of opinion that the proofs of ill-conduct which had been brought forward by the defendant were nothing more than in decencies of speech—more the effects of a limited edu cation than of a depraved disposition—and that being a good girl she bad been debauched by the defendant, they would give her such damages as would, in their judgment, compensate her, and such as would be justi fied by the circumstances of the defendant. The jury, after three hours' deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, IN. (Sittings in Banco.) O ' CONNOR V. BRADSHAW. This was an action for a libel brought by Mr. Feargus O'Connor, M.P., against Mr. Bradshaw, the editor of the Nottingham Journal. A verdict was found for the plaintiff on the first issue on the plea of not guilty, and for the defendant on the plea of justification. The libel conveyed imputations on the plaintiff's character in con nexion with the National Land Scheme. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins obtained, during the last term, a rule nisi for a new trial, upon the ground that the Chief Baron, who tried the case, had misdirected the jury in telling them that the National Land Scheme was an illegal company as being a lottery; that the Learned Judge had impro perly left it to the jury to determine the meaning of the plea of justification; that the Judge was also wrong in directing the jury upon the plea of justification; that the question was the bona fides of the plaintiff and defen dant. A point was also made that the Judge was also wrong in telling the jury that the money in Mr. O'Con nor's hands would pass to his assignees if he should be come bankrupt. Mr. Roebuck, Q.C., Mr. Keating, and Mr. Bagley showed cause against the rule; Mr. Atherton and Mr. Prentice appear e d i n su pp ort f it. On the part of the defendant 'it was argued that the company was illegal, and was prohibited by the 10th and 11th William 111, c. 17, and the 12th Geo. 11., c. 28, and the other Acts of Parliament upon this subject. The point had been before the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of Reg. v. Whitmarsh, the registrar of joint stock companies, but that case was decided upon other grounds. - The counsel for the plaintiff contended that the com pany was not a lottery, and therefore was not illegal; that the Acts of Parliament did not make all decisions by chance illegal, but only a certain description. This case was like that of co-partners dividing their land by lot, which was plainly not illegal. It was also con tended that the jury were misled by tho summing up, as they had found an inconsistent verdict—that is to say, they had found a verdict against the plaintiff upon the plea which imputed dishonesty in connexion with the land scheme, yet had accompanied that verdict with a statement that the plaintiff's personal honesty stood un impeached. The case occupied almost the whole of the day. The Court took time to consider their decision. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Not). 19. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLA NQUE.) IN RE DOYLE. In this case a question of disputed adjudication arose, but as it was only partly heard, the further hearing being adjourned till Monday, we pos'pone our report. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) TIME WITHIN WHICH A FIAT MAY BE ISSUED. Mr. LUCAS applied to the Court to allow a hat to be issued under the following circumstances: —An affidavit of debt had been filed on the 18th of September last; and the 82d section of the new Act required that a pe tition for adjudication in bankruptcy should be filed within two months from the filing of such affidavit ; but, on the parties applying to file the petition, it had been refused to be received, on the ground that the hour of the day WAS later than that at which the affidavit had been filed. There was nothing in the office to show at what hour on the 18th of September the affidavit had been filed; and it was contended that the hour was immaterial, as courts of law only took no tice of fractions of a day when it was necessary to de termine which of two events had priority. Mr. Lucas cited several cases in support, of this view. His HONOUR held that the petitioner was within time, and that the two months were not complete until the end of the corresponding day of the second month. SUERLOCK V. ATWOOD..-BREACH OF PROMISE OF MAR. RI AG E. This case, which was part heard on Saturday, and which was reported at some length in our Third Edition of Saturday evening, was then resumed.

A great nnmber of proofs were tendered, some of which gave rise to discussion, a n d hi s H onour reserved his judg ment thereon. The dividend, it is said, will be about Bcl, in the pound. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ---- GUILDHALL. CARDINAL WIPIEMAN.—Sir Peter Laurie asked Mr. Alderman HumpherY, th e s i tt i ng mag i strate o f t h is court, if he had seen th e report that had gone the round of the daily journals, a containin g statement made from the bench on Saturday last by Mr. Alderman Challis, relative to tho generally anticipated departure of Cardinal Wiseman from thi s country ? Mr. Alderman HU MPHERY said he certainly had seen it, but not without some s urprise, as he had since ascer tained that no such information as that of the Cardinal having received notice to quit Loadon in 48 hours had as yet come before the City authorities, in any form, official or otherwise. Ile had made inquiries, and the result satisfied him that Mr. Alderman Challis had been misled in consequence of reading an incorrect statement that appeared in one of the newspapers to that effect. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN rose to reply. He rejoiced that ,he case had not terminated without an opportunity being afforded to him to do justice to himself, to his client, and to every person concerned in the case. It was unknown in this realm that any previous amount of mmorality should place a person out of the pale of the law. If he were not able to refute piecemeal the evidence on the other side, which he believed he should be able to do, yet still he should stand before them for as full and fair compensation for the injury which his client had ease tained, as if she were pure and unstained. The effect of a verdict against his client, en the evidence before them, would be to expose her to ruin and ill-treatment with impunity and without redress, because she herself was not spotless. The main question, however, which would arise would be the amount of damages, for the defendant had acknowledged that at the time of making the con tract which he had broken, he was perfectly aware of a ll the circumstances which he now urged as a plea for breaking that contract. There was one cit.- cumstance which he begged them to note, and that was that not one of these acts of inde licacy and immodesty had been sworn to as happening subsequent to the formation of this contract. In sifting the defence it was necessary, in the first place, to look at the kind of witnesses which were brought forward. He would take the first witness whom they had paraded forth as a carpenter, and at the time when the facts swore to happened they found him as a shoeblack and an odd lad employed on occasional jobs, then he was a butcher's hack, then an under-gar dener, and now they could scarcely find out what he was. All the time, however, the friend of the defendant, and one who had the inde cency to accompany him during the time that their pro ceedings were pending, to some place of ill-resort, some free-and-easy, where women took the chair and smoked pipes and drank gin. They then had in evidence that he was found in bed with Ann Morgan and the plaintiff. Ann Morgan was 28, and was it likely that a woman of that age would have suffered a child of 15 to be cognizant of any amatory indulgence to which she might give away? Then, again, was it not a monstrous fact that M rs . W ood, the housekeeper, after finding them in such a position, did not immediately communicate it to her mistress—so monstrous as not to be received without some further corroboration? That was the only act of an overt cha racter on which they could proceed, and he asserted that of that they should not have a peg on which to hang a doubt before they acceded to it on the testimony of such witnesses. Next they had the witness Woodiss, who said that the plaintiff had invited him to sleep with her, which, as he said, he declined. Now, with all due deference to that gentleman, than whom au uglier fellow he never saw in a witness-box, he thought it was very unlikely that she should tv,k him to her mistress's house under the old housekeeper's nose, whr-re it would be impossible for him to enter. But whatever it was, it was never pretended that that came to anything. The evidence of Smith and of Challinor only proved in their own conduct so beastly a disregard of all the common decencies of life, that it quite put them out of the pale of belief. No such proceedings could have occurred unless fir the purpose of laying some trap for the plaintiff. However well founded it might be, was that to go to the extent of laying her open to the wrongs and insults which any fellow might throw upon her? As to Mrs. Edwards, who had been so much paraded in the case, there was nothing to fix any criminality upon the defen dant while she had been employed in the service of that . person, None of the evidence in the case went beyond sTL E, Nol3, WINDSOR-CASTLE, FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE 1850.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—There has been much quietness in the trade during the past week, owing in part to the absence of any arrivals of moment (westerly winds having prevailed) and to the landei parcels being held for more money than buyers are at present disposed to give. We had to-day a good attendance of farmers, who, in consequence of the ad vance in Mark-lane yesterday, were asking higher prices than millers would comply with. The market must, however, be written is per quarter dearer. Very little foreign on board ship, and but few transactions in landed parcels. A good demand for grinding barley, at fully the rates of last we -k, and stocks much diminished. Oats the turn dearer. Not much business passing in beans or peas. Only limited transactions in linseed. but cakes have recovered the depression of last week. No rapeseed on the market. Rape cakes are rather dull. The following are the present prices of grain :—. Wheat, English, red 39 to 49 Peas, white and yel. 27 32 Do. white Dantzic and Ko- Linseed, Black Sea 46 48 nigsberg 42 46 Do. Petersburgh ... 40 44 Pomeranian and Do.

Fine oats being scarce, commanded an advance of 1,1 per 45Ibs, and oatmeal brought 3d to 6d per load more money. Barley, beans, and peas were in moderate request at late rates. Indian corn met with a brisk de mand, and may be quoted 6d to 9d per quarter dearer; 31s per quarter being the price of fine yellow and white, and 30s of inferior and mixed. DIANCRESTER TRADE REPORT, Nov. 19.—Although v keeps quiet and i nanimate i n to -d ay ' s mar ekeat,9thheing re is some indication of an improvement in the German trade, which the hope s o f a settlement of the Hesse-Cassel business will tend to i ncrease. T here has been a slight diseoiition to a rise in cotton yarns, which the news from India has che c k e d , and prices remain as they have been during the last two or three weeks, with very little business doing either in mule or water twist. The middling counts are still, however, most in demand, say 30's to 80's or 90's. In goods there is little doing, except in shirtiugs; 36 and 40 inch Madapollanis, and all grey cloths are dull.

The days of fairies, ghosts, and goblins have not yet passed away, notwithstanding the numerous and severe strictures of the press upon the fallacy of such notions as are sometimes entertained respecting them. The su perstitious belief in their existence, and in their ability and willingness to reveal the hidden things of the future, in order to aid a favoured mortal to attain some desired end, seems to prevail to an incredible extent in the mountainous districts of Wales. Of this gross credulity the following case will serve as a sample, and may be relied on as perfectly true. It refers to an alleged disclosure of treasures hidden deep in the bosom of old mother earth. The person to whom the pretended revelations were made is a labouring miner near Mold. He was first, he says, accosted by his unearthly visitant (a female) at midnight. She came to his bedside, gently tapped him on the shoulder, and desired him to get up and follow her, which he unhesitatingly did. Perhaps the appear ance of the ghost in the shape of a middle-aged woman emboldened the knight-errant to obey her behest. Be this as it may, he makes a market of her disclosures. Upon the strength of what this man states, a company of adventurers com • menced operations by opening a new mine. They have sunk a shaft to the depth of forty-two yards, and are, according to the miner's statement of what the ghost communicated to him, within a few yards of the lead ore ; but, as crosses will be the portion of mortals, the agent of the proprietor of the land has strictly prohibited them from continuing the work, and the " land of promise " is destined to be inaccessible for some time to the luckless adventurers. The ghost is upon good, easy, familiar terms with the miner, and has appeared to him about sixty times, occasionally meeting him in some iso lated spot, and accompanying him a mile or so, con versing freely as they proceed, till they arrive at the miner's house, when she quietly opens the door, waits his ingress, then closes the door, and previous to her departure very politely and unostentatiously slips into his band a piece of what is gravely suspected to be gold, but which he most pertinaciously refuses to give a name to. The ghost also gave a minute de scription of the different strata through which they were to pass in sinking, and was so very parti cular as to specify the day, hour, and minute upon wnich each successive change in the soil would take place, and her predictions have been verified to the very letter. This strange set of credulous mortals patiently await the time for permission from the agent to continue operations; and when the " good time" comes, they entertain not the slightest doubt that the earth is certain to yield the much-coveted treasure to them.---Carnarvon Herald. PEDESTRIANISM. GREAT FOOT RACE FORIO6SZW.LH. A. REED, OF LONDON, AND GEORGE SEWARD, THE AMERICAN WON DER.—The two most remarkable runners of the pre sent day met on Monday, at Boxmoor, in Hertford shire, to decide over a quarter of a mile of turnpike road, which should wear the title of " Champion," and receive the " Victories" contingent on touching the goal first. The piece of ground selected was near the Boxmoor statioa on the North-Western line, on the road running from the village towards the rail way arch, near which the stipulated 440 yards terminated. The betting was in favour of the " Lon do❑ man," as he was termed, at 6 to 4 ; but a little before the start 5 to 4 was all that would be laid. At a few minutes past four the men appeared and stripped at the scratch, and certainly two finer models in different styles of speed and power could not have been imagined. Both appeared faultless in cond tier). Seward went away first, almost a yard, but was quickly caught by Reed, who ran with him shoulder to shoulder for 250 to 300 yards. The strenuous and rapidly repeated efforts by which Seward, leaning forward and gathering his clenched fists close to him, seemed to drive the very road behind him, were strikingly con trasted with the style of Reed, who, almost up right, his clenched hands vibrating at every stride, seemed to cover a space of ground at every spring approaching that described in nursery rhyme as achieved by the owner of the " seven-leagued boots." At the distance we have mentioned, Reed seemed for an instant to sway or roll, and next moment the Ame rican was two or three yards in front, and there he kept, winning after a terrific struggle by about three yards, a greater distance having intervened between them a little before the finish. The time was stated at 51 seconds, on a muddy road, be it remembered. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Nov. 19.) SUCAR.—To-day there was firmness on the part of im porters of West India Sugar; and grocers as well as refi uers were buyers to a fair extent, paying prices equal to those of Friday. Of Barbadoes 160 bds 3 trcs at public sale went at the full value; ordinary yellow at 39- , , middling to good 40i to 42s 6d, fine 438 to 445, and one lot supe rior 46s per cwt.

The value of Grenada is 433 to 48s, and the supply is smaller than previously. For Foreign the market is quiet with more desire to sell; Bahia and Para at 30s to 325. Guyaquil at 32s to 345. For auction, 2,500 bags of the latter are declared. COFFEE.—To-day the sales made in Coffee by private treaty were upon a small scale for all purposes, but in prices there is little variation.
