What could be thought of a man acting in this manner ? What trust could be placed in such a man ? If this had at first been known the parish would never have permitted him to hold the office of churchwarden for such a term of years. After touching upon several of the matters referred t? by lama.

Croly) insisted that he had always paid the amount of his subscription into the hands of Mr. Gibbs, and that, there fore, this could not be, and he sent, some time after, his col lector to the churchwarden's house, where he was reluctantly obliged to disburse the eight guineas de manded from him.—(Cries of "Shame.") After alluding to the different trusts in which Mr. Gibbs held office, Croly said that he had determined, and he acted now upon that determination, never to pay a shilling into any Charity in which Mr. Gibbs was treasurer.—Hear, hear.)

The prisoner then pulled a letter out of his t a cket, an d sa id h er name was Elizabeth Horrell. He then k„ e4 an to cry.

THE CITY OF EDINBURGH AND LORD JOHN RUSSF,LL. EDINBURGH, MONDAY.—The Lord Provost, magistrates, and • council of this city having, at their meeting on Thursday last, unanimously resolved to confer the freedom of the city on Lord • John Russell, who, with his lady, is at present on a private visit here, the ceremony of presentation took place to-day in the • Music-tiall, George-street (the largest public building in the town), the Council Chamuer being considered too small to accommodate the number of inhabitants who were understood to be anxious to be i present on the occasion. The hall was crowded, long before the . hour announced for the ceremony, with a large and respectable audience, composed of men of various shades of politics, and in . eluding Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Sir James Gibson Craig, William Gibson Craig, Esq., M.P., Andrew Rutherford, Esq., I M.P., William Murray, Esq., of Nenderland, Professor Trail, A. S. Logan, Esq , advocate, &c. kc. The Lord Provost, magis. trates, and council were attired in their robes of office. Precisely at one o'clock Lord John Russell entered the hall, accompanied by Lord and Lady Minto, and was received with repeated rounds of applause. The LORD PROVOST the rose and said :—ln the name of the toisn council and of the citizens of Edinburgh I have now the honour of presenting your Lordship with the freedom of our city. The burgesses of Edinburgh have an honest pride in their roll of citizenship, emblazoned with names illustrious in rank, re nowned in arts and arms, and distinguished in the various walks of science and literature, and we are highly gratified in being now privileged to inscribe another honoured name in our burghal re cords.—(Great applause.) To you, my Lord, who have already reached the most elevated height to which the subjects of a free Government may aspire, this distinction can add nothing. It is, however, the highest mark of approbation we have to bestow ; but humble as it is, we trust it will not be without its value in your eyes, as being the symbol which conveys to your Lordship the sentiments of gratitude and esteem with which you and your family are regarded by the capital of Scotland. When I inform your Lordship that the town council, as representing the community, is composed of men of every shade of political opinion, and that they have unanimously agreed to present you with this mark of their respect, it may be held as sufficient evidence that the merit which calif forth such unanimity of approbation is of a far higher order than that which is elicited by mere political par tisanship. In you, my Lord, we recognise the worthy son of a race of patriots, who have defended and watched over and foe. tered the glorious plant of British liberty, and watered it with their blood.—( Great applause.) In you we have discerned the high-toned principles of honour and virtue ; from your earliest career we have been delighted to observe your aspirations after the welfare of your native land, and the constancy with which you have elevated your great talents and untiring energies to diffuse light, and liberty, and happiness,not only among your countrymen, but through the whale family of man.—(Loud cheers.) I'o at. tempt to enumerate these efforts, even if I were competent, would occupy more time than would be commensurate, and might tempt me to trench on debateable ground ; but surely it would hardly be justifiable to pass over your services in getting wiped from the statute-book that blot which made the most sacred ordinance of Christianity a passport to office.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Presbyterian Scotland, especially, owes you a debt of gra titude for deliverance from the yoke of the test and corporation laws.—(Loud cheers.) I must likewise advert to your great exer tions in another hard-fought field. From the commencement of your public (life, we rejoiced to observe you In the foremost ranks of those who struggled for the abolition of the accursed slave trade, and it is the glory of that cabinet of which your Lordship was a dis. tinguished member that Great Britain is no longer chargeable with that foulest injustice. In you, the friend of education and morality, have we found a steady friend and able advocate both in your pri vate and public capacity. We have likewise to acknowledge our obligations to you for the removal of many restrictions on trade, and for additional facilities to the commerce of the country. I may es. pecially refer to the abolition of the East India monopoly, and the opening of the trade with China. I cannot enter upon that great measure of Parliamentary reform, with which your name must ever be associated in the history of England ; but at a meeting of the Town Council in your presence, it would be unpardonable were we not to proffer our thanks for the boon conferred upon the citizens of this and the other burghs, by which they have now the privi lege of electing from their own number those in whom they can sonfide the management of their municipal affairs.—(Cheers.) Valuable as are the services you have rendered to your country— exalted as is the station in which you have been placed by Provi dence—great as are the talents with which you have been endowed— it is not so much for these that we now testify our admiration, as for the sterling and uncompromising honesty with which you have pursued your onward course in promoting what you believe to be for the best interssts of your country, although that course should weaken your own position and strengthen that of your opponents.— (Applause.) In conclusion, if it is the mind that constitutes the man, allow me to claim for our city some share in Lord John Rus. sell, inasmuch as our university had the honour of contributing from its library and philosophic stores to the formation of his en. lightened mind. This, my Lord, is the last act of the existing Town Couucil ; and surely it could not conclude its labours more gracefully than by testifying gratitude to the statesman whose Cabinet procured for them the privileges they now enjoy. My Lord, in presenting you with the freedom of our city, I address you as the youngest :burgess of Edinburgh. Long may you be preserved to grace our ancient burgh, and long may you live in the hearts of your countrymen.—(Applause.) Lord Joule Russess then rose, and was received with enthusi astic applause. When the cheers had subsided, he . said,—My Lord, I beg to return my most grateful thanks to you and the town council of Edinburgh, as representing the inhabitants of this northern metropolis, for the great honour which you have conferred upon me. You may depend upon it that I shall always value it as expressing their opinion of services which I have in. adequately performed, and, at least, as a testimony that they have appreciated the good intentions which promoted those service's— (Cheers.) My Lord, you have most justly said, at the conclusion of your address, that whatever acquirements I may have made in early life, I owe a great part of them to the education which I re. ceived in the University of Edinburgh.—(Applause) Gentlemen, I cannot stand here receiving the testimony of your approbation— I can hardly go forth into your streets, without having my mind forcibly recalled to the happy scenes of those days when I was a student within your walls. I cannot but recollect with regret, at the same time accompanied with gra tification, the instruction which I received from a man eminent indeed in science, but not less eminent from his character—l mean Mr. Professor Playfair. We know that with respect to others, it may be said that they, in following the lighter paths of literature, may have the accomplishments which are suitable to those paths and those occupations; but it was re. markable in Professor Playfair that while his pursuits were in the abstract sciences, his character, his conversation, and his whole life partook of all that was amiable, of all that was kind, and of all that was engaging.—(Cheers.) After studies and abstract calcula tions on, perhaps, the density of the earth. he would go forth—for I have had the pleasure of accompanying him—to enjoy the sub. lime and remarkable landscapes which abound in the neighbour hood of your city. He would go from disquisitions with respect, perhaps, to the astronomy of the Hindoos, and to all that was dif ficult in calculations, to be the most cheerful, the meat at ease, and the most happy of the society of which he was the ornament. I cannot, in entering your city, but reflect upon the days when I had the satisfaction of being under the tuition of such a man. I cannot but recollect also that in this city I heard the lessons of moral philosophy, adorned by the eloquence of Mr. Dugald Stewart. Within your walls, also, there were many others whose society I had then the happiness of enjoying. I had to admire, in Mr. Mackenzie, in the extreme of age, that liveliness and that spirit which is usually the accompaniment of youth ; and I likewise had the happiness to enjoy the hospitality of a man whose works, which have since been produced, have become so famous in all parts of the world—on the banks of the Don, as on the banks of the Mis sissippi—in all parts of Europe, in all parts of America ; whose works tend to the enjoyment of intellectual pursuits, and to raise men from the sordid and selfish occupations of sense to the pleasure of intellectual enjoyment. These were at that time among the men who were eminent in society in Edinburgh ; and you will, therefore, not be surprised that in referring to the time when I was •a student here I should recal their eminent merits, and reflect upon the hours, many of them of enjoyment, and many of instruction, which I had the happiness here to par take—(Great applause.) I could willingly, if it were not for occupying your time, and because it might seem less proper to the occasion, refer to others of whom we have not to re gret that they Arent) longer among us—men still eminent, in whose society I then enjoyed the view of all that was great, acute, and eminent in literature ; but I will go now to say a few words on those which have since been my occupation, and to which your Lordship did me the honour to allude. Since those days I have been engaged the greater part of my life in the occupations and struggles of political warfare and political debate.—(Loud cheers.) I trust that in the midst of that warfare I have not failed to do justice to my opponents. I trust that, engaged in a party, it has been my object to promote the welfare of my fellow-countrymen of all creeds and persuasions. With me the colour of the negro was no objection to his receiving the rights of a free citizen; nor could I think that a differenceof religious persuasion ought, either on the one hand to deprive men of those political honours and that political power to which they might justly aspire, nor, on the other hand, to deprive them, while so struggling, of the regard and sympathy of those who, differing with them in religion, might still regard their conscientious persuasion, and grasp them with the hand of Christian charity.--(Loud cheers.) It has been the course of my life, in the many important measures in which I have taken a part, to extend the liberties of my countrymen, and to promote the popular power. lam not going in this assembly to discuss whether these measures were rightly framed, but you will permit me here, having received the honour which you have just conferred upon me, to state to you that which I always kept in view in the measures, both those which I have framed, and those in which I have taken a share as a colleague along with other per. sons. I have always kept in view to make measures in which I have taken a part consonant to the Constitution of England. I have always endeavoured so to frame those measures, that they as similate, if I may so speak, with the blood of the existing institu. tions. Wherever there were abuses, I thought those abuses ought to be corrected. Wherever the franchise was narrowed by the spirit of former times, or narrowed, perhaps, by the necessity of a contest with some other body, and required to be enlarged, I have been in favour of enlargement. But I always assumed it to be my bounden duty to endeavour so to correct those abuses, so to regulate that enlargement, that our admir able Constitution should not be weakened but strengthened, and, if possible, perpetuated by the change.—(Great ap plause.) Men differ, as they must do in this free country, with respect to the particular measures that should be pursued. Some think that the prerogatives of the Crown are too much enfeebled, others that the franchise of the people is not sufficiently extended. —(A solitary cry of "Hear, hear.") Far be it from me to enter into any controversy on these topics. What Ido wish to impress on you, at least as my notion—at least, as my conviction—that in any changes that may hereafter be made, the spirit of our Constitu. tion should always be kept in view ; and this I say, not from any bigoted adherence to that which is established; although with re. spect to old institutions, even if they were less perfect than others, it would perhaps be imprudent to endeavour to change, in order to reach some abstract perfection—but I speak of our institutions, bcczuse in looking at the history of the world—in looking at the institutions of nations now existing in the world, I find none— I will not say none in which there are not better laws on par. ticular subjects —none in which there may not be some part of its institutions better than ours—but I find no Constitution so well formed to promote the liberty of man as the Constitution under which we have the happiness to live.— (Cheers.) It was accounted by a R oman hi stor i an a rare felicity of the particular time in which he wrote, that he could both think what he pleased and venture to say what he thought. Now that is not only a great privilege and happiness itself, but it is a mode in which truth can be ascertained, and in which the welfare of the whole community can be best promoted : I will venture to say that in no quarter does there now exist such freedom in form i • opltions and such freedom in expressing them, as now exists in our own country. I need not, I suppose, allude to those coun tries on the continent of Europe where monarchy is still unchecked by representative institutions. In one of these countries, a friend of mine, who was endeavouring to pass some books at the Custom. house, happened to have some of the hocks of Plato in Greek. The Cu dom.house officers said, " these must be stopped, as th ere may be something improper in them." This friend replied that " these were works of an ancient philosopher." The Custom-house officer retorted, "but how do we know that they may not contain some thing against the Government."—( Laughter and applause.) It is not, certainly, worth our while to discuss whether, in those countries, they have greater freedom than we have here ; but if we go to free countries, such as France and Spain, wherethey have representative institutions, we shall find that freedom of expression, and the liberty of the press are checked by laws—it may be neces. sary laws—which have been passed within the last few years. But if I leave Europe, and go to a country which many quote as an ex ample of freedom to all the world—the United States of AmeriCa— even therell do not believe there exists that uncontrolled power of the expression of opinion which we have the good fortune to enjoy in this country. (Applause.) It was but the other day that a gentleman Laving one of those names which are not uncommon in that country—a gentleman of the name of Cassius Clay —set up a newspaper, with a view to argue the abolition of slavery—th a t most detestable, on-Christian, and horrible institution of slavery. His press was seized by force. The persons who seized it sent it away, and told him he was no longer to venture to print anything against slavery; and he was now endeavour.. ing, and probably endeavouring in vain, to recover damages from those persons. They contend that to set up a newspaper which will argue against slavery as an institution is a nuisance which ought to be suppressed by force and violence. Do I ask you, then, without reason—am I not justified its saying, that, of all countries on the globe, there are none where is a greater power of forming public opinion, and of expressing that public opinion, from one extreme to the other; from the extreme of declaiming against our Constitution as too democratical, and proposing to go back to the reign of the Stuarts, and to the other extreme of denouncing the Crown and the aristocracy, and endeavouring to obtain the abolition of those institutions. I say, from one extreme to the other there is no latitude of opinion which men may net dare to form, and men may not dare to express.—(Applause.) Having given this opinion, my Lord Provost, I will not venture to make any observations upon those laws in the discussion of which I have had to take a share, still less upon other laws which it may be the part of Parliament hereafter to discuss; suffice it for me that, If I am right in what I have stated, public opinion will sift, will weigh, will. measure truly—perhaps by a slow process—but will measure in time justly all the proposals of change, of improvement, or, it may be, of restoration, which various persons of various political opir.ions may from time to time propound.—(Applause.) My opinions are, that the Constitution of this country admits of the greatest enjoyment, both of civil and religious freedom. Your Lordship has done me the honour to allude to an ancestor of mine, who laid down his life in behalf of the laws of England, then unjustly suppressed, or tyranically vier_ hated. lam naturally proud of being descended from such an an. cestor. I believe that his blood was not shed in vain, and that it tended to that revolution which a few years after fixed the repre sentative government—fixed the representation of the people as the governing principle of our institutions ; and that blood will not have been shed in vain lithe people of these countries wisely and soberly appreciate the blessings that they enjoy ; will not be either deceived or blinded by the defects of those in which abuses or defects prevail, but will go on from time to time amending and improving, as the spirit of the age requires, constitutionally extending the liberties and promoting the welfare of the people, and making this country not only happy itself, but an example to all the nations of the globe.—(Great applause.) My Lord Provost, I have ventured to make these abservations in answer to the address which you have pleased to make to me. It now remains to me again to thank you and the town council for the honour you have conferred on me, and to assure you that this day will ever be pre served in my grateful recollection. His Lordship resumed his seat amidst the most enthusiastic applause. After a pause, the Loan PROVOST proposed three cheers for Lord John Russell, which was cordially responded to. A similar compliment having been given to the Lord Provost, the meeting separated. RIO DE JANEIRO. (FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) The arrival of German and Belgian immigrants at Rio de Janeiro for the purpose of settling in that province, particu larly on an estate belonging to the Emperor, called " Correg o Secco," who has very generously granted the land necessary for the building of a new city, to be called " Petropolis," ha s given rise to some animated discussions in the Senate, which gave rise to the following notice thereof being taken in the Jornal do Commercio, of the 23d August last : " Some of our politicians have latterly suffered themselves to be carried away by their private interests or party spirits as to prefer discussions relative thereto, to those of vital im portance to the State, uttering frequently in the bosom of the august Chambers of the National Representation the most shameful falsehoods against their opponents, to the great offence of their own dignity of the place which they occupy, and of the people they legitimately or illegitimately repre sent. These, becoming familiar with such gross misrepre sentations, have shown themselves indifferent, placing no confidence in what is advanced justly or unjustly, take no active part in the affairs of their country as they ought to do to counteract and correct such disorders, which have a ten dency to bring into disrepute amongst us the Representative System, which already has lost much of its quintessence. The vessel of the State impelled by a tempest of the passions, and leaky is driven until she strikes on some, God knows what, rocks. " The press—that power which has such influence over the destinies of Governments, in fact, constitutional countries—is entirely abandoned to a party ; or rather has submitted to the,caprices of one man, who like another Proteus, assumes all manner of forms and colours to promote his own interests to the exclusion of every one's else; deluding, to serve his pur poses, the ignorant and incautious, publishing the most atro cious calumnies against all those who raise any opposition to the march of his malevolence through the instrumentality of a periodical, which assumes the title of The Sentinel of the Monarchy,' to the great scandal and disgust of the whole nation, because it daily publishes the most offensive articles, and derogatory to the sacred and inviolable person of the Monarch. "In the meantime the present Government, as if they under valued the support which a periodical could afford them, which very loyally defends their acts, and re-establishes the truth when perverted, not only does not sustain it, but even allowed the many to perish, who came forward voluntarily to support it. Under such circumstances, of what avail is it that a voice should be raised far and near to inform the pub lic on this or that fact, concerning which it had been attempted to deceive them, if a voice in the midst of the apathy which prevails should die away like that of a person drowning ? " But, notwithstanding, in order that there should exist a protest in black and white against such falsities, whenever our occupation will admit of it, we will undeceive the public, at least, in matters which concern the province of Rio le Janeiro, and we shall continue to offer up our prayers that the day may arrive when every public functionary (in his proper sphere), and all taking an immediate interest in public affairs, shall concur in establishing a proper equilibrium, this day, which, if as Mignet says, whenever a reform is be come necessary, and the moment arrived for its being carried into effect, nothing can hinder it ; on the contrary, everything will promote it.' NVe trust in God that it will not long delay its dawning. . . . . . _ "To make a beginning to the fulfilment of our promise, we shall show to-day the injustice of the accusation made in the Senate against his Excellency the President of the Province of Rio de Janeiro, by Senhores Torres and Vasconcellos in regard to the importation of German immigrants. •'Senhor J. J. Rodriguez Torres asserted that the President had very imprudently entered into a contract for the intro duction of six thousand industrious immigrants without having any work to give them and that he had at the same time in fringed the law relating to such immigrants, which required them to be agricultural labourers. Senhor B. P. de Vascon cellos, seconding these charges, said, 'that he much feared the mode adopted by the President would only serve to bring colonisation into disrepute.' " We cannot but believe this apprehension on the part of the Noble Senator to be sincere, springing from the great desire he entertains of banishing from this country, the African race, for, certainly, it was not him who proclaimed, in the Chambers, Africa to be the civilizer of BraziL "sThe Government, by the contract entered into w ith th e house of De la Rue, of Dunkirk, engaged to receive 600 immigrants of different trades and employment, giving a preference to married men. By virtue ofthis agreement there have already arrived 1,300 immigrants, composing about 260 families. What will, therefore, be the probable total num ber of immigrants whose passages the provincial authorities are to advance? It is not required to make any very elaborate calculation to discover the value of this—which cannot exceed 3,000, being less than half the number quoted by the noble Senators. " The Law of the 30th May, 1840, No. 224, not only authorises the establishment of agricultural and mechanic settlements, but also in the Bth article provides that the President may, until such settlements take place, engage 100 families of tradesmen and mechanics for the public works; that of the 11th May, 1844, No. 333, in the 3d article, likewise concedes authority to the Government to engage in Europe workmen to be employed on the Canal Campos and Macahe ; in what, therefore, has the President infringed the law, by ordering mechanic immigrants? Is not such a charge the offspring of hatred, and intended solely to deprive his Excellency of the good opinion he at present enjoys of his compatriots? "The sth Article of the Law of the 30th May, 1840, says,— ' Should it happen that no adventurers nor companies shall appear for the establishment of such settlements, the Presi dent is authorised, in order to promote and facilitate the prosperity of any of those settlements, to introduce indus trious immigrants in all branches of useful employ; and may, in the absence of unowned or national lands, or sesma ries duly granted, procure such as are required fcr distribu tion amongst such immigrants, by purchase, transfer, or any other lawful means.' This is precisely what the Government has done—they perceiving that no companies were being formed for the making of such settlements, and that no indi viduals offered for that purpose, ordered immigrants to be sent from Europe, advanced their passage money, and have established a part of them in ' Petropolis ;' and propose es tablishing others on the land appertaining to the powder mills ; another portion between Petropolis and Parahiba ; and the remainder on the different works in progress throughout the province—some as labourers, in repairing and preserv ing the old roads of the Estrella; others, in the making very important improvements, such as constructing new roads at Itagoahy, or Pica, of the Estrella, of the Policia, of the liodeio, of Malto Grosso, from Cantagallo to the Port of Caxias, &c., in which works about 500 cantos of reis are ex pended annually. " After the above exposition, can any one assert that 6,000 immigrants are too many to be introduced into the province, and that there is no work for them; that his Excellency the President has violated the law, and that his mode of in troducing immigrants will bring colonisation into disrepute? Those who possess a great many slaves and emancipated negros employed on such works, only can attempt to intimi date the parties to whom are entrusted the promoting the immigration of free labourers, because it interferes with the works on which these slaves are employed."

THE POTATO DISEASE-DEPUTATION TO THE LORD-LIEUTENANT. DUBLIN, Nov. 3.—This day a deputation, consisting of the Lord Mayor, the Duke of Leinster, Lord Cloncurry, O'Connell, M.P., Mr. Grattan, M.P., Sir John Power, Pierce Maliony, Esq., Win. Ford, Esq., Aldermen O'Brien, Keshan, and several members of the. corporation, proceeded to the Viceregal Lodge in the Phcenix Park, for the purpose of submitting to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant a series of resolutions adopted by the Committee appointed at the meet ing held on Friday last. At three o'clock his Excellency, who was attended_ by Sir Thomas Fremantle, the chief secretary, the Hon. Mr. A'Court, private secretary to his Excellency, and Captain Begot, A.D.C. in waiting, entered the drawing-room, and the depu tation was admitted. The LORD MAYOR then read the resolutions, which were to the following import:— •` 1. That sufficient evidence of the imminence of famine exists to render it necessary for the Government to take immediate steps to provide food for the people. " 2. That the best mode of distributing such food will be by the encouragement of public works of national and local utility. " 3. That the Lord. Lieutenant be called upon to open the ports for the reception of all articles suited for human food. "4. That the Lord-Lieutenant be also called upon to take measures to prevent the exportation of corn from Ireland. " 5. That the Lord-Lieutenant be called upon to take measures for the establishment of public granaries, in convenient situations, into which grain shall be received and receipts given fur the same at the current prices; and that in the event of famine being averted from this country, the owners of grain so stored shall be permitted to dispose ,of it at any higher prices that it may be possible to realise in other markets. " 6. That the propriety of stopping the distillation of spirits from grain be submitted to the consideration of Government. " 7. That the Lord-Lieutenant be requested to take measures for raising at least a million in aid of the purposes recommended ; and that the payment of the interest and principal be secured upon the receipts of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests in Ireland." BiS EXCELLENCY delivered the following reply : " My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,—lt can scarcely be necessary for me to assure you, that the state of the potato crop has for some time occupied, and still occupies, the most anxious attention of the Government. " Scientific men have been sent over from England to co-operate with those of this country, in endeavouring to investigate the na ture of the disease, and, if possible, to devise means to arrest its progress. They have not yet terminated their inquiries; but two reports have already been received from them, which have been communicated to the public. " 'The Government is also furnished with constant reports from the stipendiary magistrates and inspectors of constabulary, who are charged to watch the state of the potato disease, and the progress of the harvest. These vary from day to day, and are often contra dictory ; it will, therefore, be impossible to form an accurate opinion of the whole extent of the evil till the digging of the pota toes shall be further advanced. To decide under such circum stances upon the most proper measures to be adopted would be pre mature, particularly as there is reason to hope that, though the evil exists to a very great extent in some localities, in others it has but partially manifested itselL " There is no Immediate pressure in the market. I will, how ever, lose no time is submitting your suggestions to the considers. lion of the Cabinet. The greater part of them can only be en. forced by legislative enactment, and all require to be maturely weighed before they can be adopted. It must be clear to you that in a case of such great national importance, no decision can be taken without a previous reference to the responsible advisers of the Crown." His Excellency bowed to the deputation, and was retiring, when Mr. O'CONNELL said he begged to make an observation with regard to the proposition of stopping the distilleries, which had been under discussion at the City Assembly House, and at a meeting of citizens last Friday. The depu tation had resolved upon not calling for any specific inter ference by the Government on that subject, being apprehen sive that illicit distillation might be resorted to, which was an evil to be guarded against. His EXCELLENCY said—You are quite right, Sir; you are quite right. The Government and you are agreed on that subject. The deputation then withdrew. HULL, Nov. 4.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LEEDS AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. We are glad to hear that the preliminary arrangements for applying to Parliament for an Act for this most important undertaking are progressing both rapidly and favourably. The panic which has been felt in the money market has had the effect of checking that wild spirit of speculation which a few weeks ago was running riot at a speed so fearful as to threaten the worst consequences; and will have the effect of bursting most of the bubble schemes which have been pro posed. On bona fide and substantial schemes, however, like that of the Leeds and Carlisle, the effect has been, and will in the end be, productive of good by clearing away im proper and unsubstantial obstructions. The following par triculars, which we have derived from an authentic: source, will be read with great satisfaction by those interested in the proposed Leeds and Carlisle Railway : " THE SURVEY. " I have much pleasure in informing you that the survey of the whole line is already completed; and the engineers have promised that the plans and sections shall be deposited in the Company's offices on or before the 21st proximo. The reports on the line generally are very favourable, and the only point of expensive execution between the junction with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (at or near Horsforth Wood) and the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway (at or near Clifton) will be at Stakefells. " COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDING ORDERS. " I have considerable satisfaction in informing you that the company will be in the position to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, and that notwithstanding the present sensation in the money market, the deposits in the company's shares have been, with few exceptions, paid up, and that such is the estimation in which the line is held that very considerable holders of shares desire additional allotments, whilst renewed applications for shares have been made by highly respectable parties who were overlooked in the al lotment. Six counsel of eminence have been specially retained for the bill, whilst the influence which the company will have among members of Parliament will prevent any vexatious opposition._ " TIIE EXPECTED TRAFFIC ON THE LINE. " I should have said that this head would be probably the greatest security to the success of the bill. Mr. Humphrey Brown is engaged to take the traffic. On the issue of this, one opinion only appears to exist, viz., that it must show a highly remunerative traffic, when we consider that by this line the distance will be shortened between Carlisle and Glasgow and London and Leeds by more than 40 miles; (nor between England and Scotland only will this advantage arise, but the Leeds and Carlisle line will also admit an economy of time in travelling from London and Leeds to the North of Ireland) ; it requires no argument to assert its importance and extent. " ITS POSITION WITH OTHER LLYES. " This line has a peculiar advantage, I conceive, in being as it were Bole possessor of the ground, and unopposed by any line. "The projects which will at all affect it, run either at right or obtuse angles to it, and appear to have objects in dependent of the Leeds and Carlisle. Ido not underrate the value of the York and Carlisle or the Glasgow Union Railways: these arc proposed to run from Carlisle to York, and not to Leeds,—termini between 30 and 40 miles apart. "THE DIRECTION OF THE LINE. "The course of the line will be as direct as practicable from Leeds to Carlisle. It was at first proposed to run through Otley, but arrangements will be entered into with the Leeds and Thirak Railway Company for bringing that town in im mediate connexion with this line and the Leeds and Thirsk -Railway, by a branch, which is proposed to be made by that line to Skipton."—Carlisle Journal, Nov. 1, 1845. [ADVERTISEMENT.J—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S GAICASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons, 119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless. THE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION.—DEATII OF ONE OF VIM SUFFERERS.—LIVERPOOL, ..TVEBDAT.—In this melancholy oc currence a boy named Buckstone was so seriously injured that he died early yesterday morning. He was a native of Liverpool, and aged 14 years. Mr. Jones himself, we learn this morning, is going on as favourably as could be expected. He has partially re covered his eight, and is in other respects better. We cannot, however, as yet state that he is out of danger. COURT CIRCULAR. Wprnsort, TUESDAY.—Prince Albert, accompanied by the Earl of Lincoln, and attended by Mr. Anson, Colonel Bowles, and Lieutenant-Colonel Wylde, left the Castle a few minutes past nine o'clock this morning for Slough, to proceed by spe c►al train to Paddington, where a carriage was in readiness to convey the Prince to Somerset "louse. His Roy al High ness returned to the Castle, from London, at ten minutes past two o'clock. The dense fog prevented the Queen and the Royal Fa mily from leaving the Castle this morning for their early walks and rides. In the afternoon their Royal Highn esses the Prince of Wales and the . Princess Royal were taken for a walk on the Terrace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert walked in the grounds in the vicinity of the Castle in the afternoon. The Earl of Lincoln has taken his departure. Lady Portman has succeeded the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe as the Lady in Waiting to the Queen. Lord Byron has arrived at the Castle, and has succeeded the Earl of Hardwicke as the Lord in Waiting to her Ma jesty; and Major-General Sir Frederic Stovin has succeeded Captain the lion. Nelson Hood as the Groom in Waiting to her Majesty. The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe remains on a visit to her Majesty. There was no addition to the royal dinner circle this evening. Count de Reventlow, the Danish Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. ' Sir Robert Peel is going on favourably. The Earl of Lincoln visited the Right Hon.

(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) RUMMY V. BARBS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) At the conclusion of the arguments, His Honoun gave judgment, declining to grant the in junction, but giving liberty to the plaintiff to bring such other action as he might be advised, to try the validity of hie patent, reserving the question of costs. THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD V. SUISSE. Mr. SCHOMBERG applied ex parte in this case, under the 29th of the New Orders, that the defendant Suisse, whom, our readers will recollect, was the valet of the late Marquis of Hertford, that he might be at liberty, notwithstanding he was out of the jurisdiction of the Court, to put in an appear ance to the bill filed against him by the present Marquis. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, before he made any order upon the subject, he should consult with the Master of the Rolls and the other two Vice-Chancellors as to the con struction to be put upon several of the New Orders, and among the rest to that of the 29th, as he was convinced, un less that course was adopted, and some rule of construction laid down upon which they all agreed, the time of the Lord Chancellor, from the commencement of November to the end of July, would be occupied alone in hearing appeals from their decisions. The case, therefore, stands over for the present. The Court rose at three o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) .Robert Adlington was arraigned upon an indictment, charging that one Thomas Adlington, who had been adjudged and declared to be a bankrupt, did afterwards feloniously embezzle, secrete, and remove a certain portion of his pro perty, with intent to defraud his creditors, and that the pre sent defendant feloniously aided and assisted the last men tioned defendant Thomas in such removal and embezzlement of the property. Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Prentice conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Sergeant Allen and Mr. Parry were for the prisoner. The case occupied the Court for several hours, a consider able time being occupied in the discussion of technical points that were raised by the counsel for the defendant, the whole of which were eventually overruled. The actual facts out of which the prosecution arose lies in a small compass. It appeared that Thomas Adlington had carried on the busi ness of a seed-merchant in the Kingsland•road, and the prisoner acted as his traveller and commission-agent. In March of the present year he became embarrassed, and was eventually made a bankrupt in the beginning of April. It was alleged against the prisoner that, b e f ore the bankruptcy took place, a cart, a quantity of corn, and groats, and other articles, were given by the bankrupt to the prisoner, who took them away, and concealed them until after the last examination of the bank rupt, when all the property in question was brought back to the premises, and the prisoner hi mse lf carr i e d on t h e business. On the part of the defendant it was urged that there was no fraud whatever in the transaction so far as he was concerned; that he was entitled to half the profits of the business ; and that his brother being in difficulties, and unable to pay him in money, had given him the articles in question as a set-off; and it appeared that after the bankruptcy the prisoner had purchased his brother's business of the assig nees, and lie therefore took the property, which he considered himself entitled to, back to the premises, in order to carry on his trade. A number of highly respectable witnesses were examined on behalf of the prisoner, all of whom gave him a very high character for honesty and honourable conduct. The RECORDER having summed up, the jury almost im mediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. There was an attempt at applause in the Court, but it was checked by the officers. There were some other indictments against the prisoner arising out of the same transaction, but it was arranged that they should stand over until the next session, and in the meantime the prisoner was admitted to bail. WINDSOR ELECTION.—WINDSOR, TUESDAY.---This morning the writ from the High Sheriff was received by the Mayor, Thomas Clarke, Esq., and at three o'clock this afternoon the usual proclamation was made, near the marketplace, by the town clerk, in the presence of the Mayor and several of the municipal authori. tics. The election is appointed for Saturday next, and the polling will take place on the following Monday. A public meeting of the electors, !at the Town-hall, is expected to be convened on Thursday next, to which Colonel Reid an d Mr. Walter will bein vited. The Dean of Windsor, the Hon. and Very Rev. Dr. Hobart, arrived at Windsor yesterday, and shortly afterwards proceeded to the committee-room of Colonel Reid, whose interests Dr. Hobart has been actively engaged in supporting. [ADVERTISEMENT,.—BAD DIGESTION.—WONDER UL CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—T. Gardiner, Esq., of 9, Brawn-street, Grosvenor-square, de clares that he has been under four of the most eminent physi cians, besides five of the greatest surgeons is London. lie suffered from a distended stomach, bad digestion, settled pains in tho chest, was very nervous, and greatly debilitated, and scarcely able to walk a hundred yards. Not deriving the least relief f'rem the faculty, he set about rubbing large quantities of Holloway's Ointment i n to Ins chest, and took Holloway's Pills night and morning, which effectually restored him to perfect health and vigour in the short space of three weeks.—Sold at . Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, and by all respectable Medicine Vendors. On Monday, the 3d:instant, a general assembly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Trafalgar-square, when Mr. Alfred Elmore, Dir. Thomas Sidney Cooper and Mr. William Powell Frith, were elected Associates of that Institution. GALWAY COLLEGE. The Galway Vindicator say;; l :Wehave the pleasing duty to announce that Government have, at length, decided upon giving one of the new college s t o Galway. The deci sion has been finally made, and there can be no further doubt upon the matter. In addition to this information, we have also the gratification to state, that Sir R. Peel has in timated to that eloquent and distinguished preacher, and most exemplary clergyman, the ve r y R ev . D r . Ki rwan , Outerard, that he has been appointed president to the Galway College, letters patent to that effect being i n p re p ara ti on t o pass the great seal, Government thus far guaranteeing, that amongst us at least; neither faith nor morals can be endan gered, and that as to Connaught, as long as his appointment continues, the cry of infidelity' can never be raised against the education to be given under his control." THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of this body was held to-day. Mr. Lanigan presided. Mr. O'CONNELL handed in IL, the subscription of an amiable English lady, whose husband was a descendant of Lord Strafford, who was sacrificed to the Titus Oates' con spiracy. He (Mr. O'Connell) wondered very much the Fine Arts Committee had not recommended the erection of a statue to that notorious personage.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL adverted to the state of the registry, and congratulated the burgesses of Dublin on the result, which, he said, gave them a majority in all the wards, except two. Ile entirely concurred in the decision that " Ministers' money" was no tax ; certainly not a tax necessary to be paid to qualify an elector to vote. ThelCorporation of Dublin should be placed in a position to relieve the citizens of a great portion of local taxation to which they were subjected. He could not avoid observing that the influence of the Cor poration had been seriously affected by the conduct of a Mr. John Reynolds, whose attacks had greatly weakened its pro per influence. He (Mr. O'C.) would place that body on its pro per footing. It should get back the power filched from it by the Ballast Board and the Paving Board. When the Cor poration was placed in the position to which it was entitled the people of Dublin would be relieved from the great bulk of the taxes which were now pressing on them.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'C.) was mainly instrumental in bringing about a re conciliation between the rcpealers in Limerick, and he was happy to say the immediate result was the receipt of 63/. from that city.—(Cheers.) In Waterford it was found an impossibility to adjust the differences. The various parties there professing liberal opinions were still in a state of hos tility to each other. He regretted to hear that the popular party had used defamatory language to his Right Rev. Friend, Dr. Foran. As he had to attend on the deputa tion to the Lord-Lieutenant at three o'clock, he should retire, after handing in 101. from the county of Wexford.—(Cheers.) The week's rent was announced to be 3901., and the meet ing adjourned. CONFLAGRATION ON BOARD TIIE STEAM-SHIP MARMORA. We have received, through an express from the Cove of Cork, the following important particulars : " Cove of Cork, Nov. 2d, 130 r.m. " The American screw steamer Marmora, Capt. Page, thirty-six hours from Liverpool for Constantinople, has just arrived here, her coals having ignited ten hours after she left the former port. " She has this moment brought up at the ' Flag Ship,' from which vessel marines andisailors have been sent to assist in : extinguishing the flames, which, owing to the hatches having been closely battened down, have not yet broken through the deck. " Signals have been made from H.M.S. Crocodile, and a gun fired for the immediate attendance of firemen, en gines, &c. " Admiral Sir H. Pigot is now going on board the Mar more, and it is reported she will be hauled alongside the Dock-yard Quay at high water (now young flood), when she will be scuttled." ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. BRISTOL, TUESDAY.—Considerable apprehension was ma nifested this morning, in consequence of the non-arrival of the six A.M. train from London for some time after the ap pointed hour, it being twelve o'clock instead of ten before it reached this city. The delay was occasioned at West Dray ton. The down goods train, which was upwards of an hour behind its time, was backing on to the up-line, to make way for the down passenger train, which was then due, and expected to pass every minute. The transit of the goods train was being made, when the passenger train coming up at the moment ran into a horse box, containing pigs. Very fortunately the engine -driver, in consequence of being a short time previously surrounded by a thick fog, had shut off his steam, and therefore the speed at which the train was going was but slow. How ever, the horse-box was shattered, and yet, which is most extraordinary, only one of the pigs was killed. The engine of the passengers' train also sustained considerable injury, and the delay was occasioned by the necessity which arose for sending for a fresh engine. An inquiry into the cause of the accident will be instituted by the authorities ; but, in the mean time, we are informed that the fog was s o v e ry thick as to render it an utter impossibility fur the driver to see the signal lamps, and the goods train not being out of the way in sufficient time, a collision was the consequence. The passengers waiting to leave Bristol for the west were not detained more than three-quarters of an hour, as Mr. S. Martin, the deputy-superintendaut at the Bristol sta tion, dispatched a special train for their accommodation. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. is through the medium of the public prints alone that public nuisances can be removed, and abuses corrected. The columns of your leading and influential journal offer a ready channel for such correction. Tile five o'clock down train to Ely reached that station twenty-five minutes behind time last evening, and in the general melee the passengers had the labour of hauling their own luggage down the whole length of the platform, and to the Lynn coach below—the ticket-collector anxiously inquiring after their tickets as they passed by him with both hands occupied in removing the luggage. The portmanteau belonging to one gentleman was nowhere to be found, and he was of course, necessitated to put up with the extreme an noyance and inconvenience in the best way he was able. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A CONSTANT READER, AND PASSENGER 111 THE TRAIN. FOREIGN MAILS.—The ing are the postal arrangements for the transmission of foreign mails:--" General Post.office, St. Martin's.le.Grand.—Tha next mails for Gibraltar, Malta, Greece, the lonian Islands, Egypt, India, Sm., rid South ampton, will be dispatched hence on the morning of the 20th inst. Th e next mails for the Mediterranean, Egypt, Ceylon, India, and China, v id Marseilles, will be dispatched h ence on the evening of the 7th inst. •••- ..-- - The Duke of Cambridge arrived at Hanover on the 2.5 th ult., after an a t bsence from that capital of eight years. His Royal Highness, who was received by the inhabitants with loud acclamations, immediately paid a visit to the King, his brother, and next visited the Prince and Princess Royal before he proceeded to the palace called Ernest Augustus, which had been prepared for him. In the evening the Duke went to the theatre. On his en tering the royal box the band played " God save the King," and the whole audience gave kim shouts of welcome. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.— The first ineeting for the winter session was held yesterday afternoon at the rooms in Regent-street. The chair was taken by R. W. Barchard, Esq., in the absence of Professor Lindley, who is at present actively et). gaged in Ireland on the Government Commission for investigating ,he diseases of potatoes. The objects of exhibition were of a numerous and interesting character, particularly those of fruit. The prizes awarded were—silver Knightian medals to Mr. Moore, gardener to Robert Hanbury, Esq., for a fine blooming specimen of Cattleya labiate, and Mr. Smith for grapes ; a Banksian medal to Mrs. Lawrence for a collection of plants ; and certificates of merit to Mr. Chandler, of Vauxhall, for Chrysanthemums, and Mr. Paull, of Cheshunt, for some fine nosegays of perpetual roses in good bloom and scent. The extract from the Meteorological Re gister, kept at the gardens, from 7th October to 4th November, gave—barometer, highest, October 23d, 30'516 inch ; lowest, October 9th, 29'295 ; thermometer, highest, October 14th, 76 deg. F. ; lowest, Novemb,r 3d, 20 deg, F. , and quantity of rain 1'39 inch. HONG-KONG. The British merchants at Hong-Kong have been aim ( plaining very bitterly of the sacrifice of their interests by the Government, and have memorialized Lord Stanley in the " confident hope" of getting redress for their grievances. The parties to the memorial are somewhat sanguine to ex pect relief from the Colonial Secretary on a plain statement of facts being laid before him ; and as the local authorities have already discountenanced the application of the mer chants, they are not likely t o exc it e t h e sympathy of t h e Home Government. The Colonial-office appears to have a facility of-making itself obnoxious to those whose interests are intrusted to its care, and it almost habitually supports the measures and the men that are most distasteful to the colonists. The grievances under which the merchants of Hong-Kong are labouring arise chiefly from a breach of faith, by which they have been required to pay a comparatively high price for land, after an expectation of obtaining it at a very moderate rate had been distinctly held out to them. 'When the island of Hong-Kong was first taken possession of by Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China everything was done to induce the British merchants to remove from Macao to the new settlement. Having got them there, it is alleged that nothing has been done to pro mote their interests ; and the result is, that the merchants are complaining of being subjected to very heavy burdens in a place they cannot convenient'y quit, on account of the out lay they have incurred, and where it will not be profitable to remain unless something is done to give life and vigour to the already languishing trade of the new settlement. It is to very little purpose that colonial possessions are acquired if the policy of the Government cripples their facilities for trade, the peaceful and mutually advantageous interests of which are the only wise and legitimate objects of distant acquisitions. The general sense of this country in the present day repudiates the idea of conquest for its own sake, and the termination of the war ' with the Chinese was not valued as a victory over that people, but as the opening of a new and important channel for English trade to flow into. This was the sole ground of congratulation when it was agreed that there should be a British settlement in China; but it is evident from the com plaints of the merchants of Hong-Kong that the hopes of all parties have not been realised. The grievances to which the memorialists have called the attention of Lord Stanley are numerous, but the hard terms forced by the local Government on the landowners may be regarded as the chief cause of the discontentent pre vailing in the settlement. It is clear from the cor respondence, which we give at length elsewhere, that a pro mise was held out officially in 1841, that lands would be granted in fee simple for one or two years' purchase, or that they should be charged only with a nominal quit-rent ; but in 1843 it was notified that " Her Majesty's Government did not see fit to recognize sales or grants of lands that had been made by any authority whatsoever up to the pet iod of the exchange of the ratification of the treaty of Nankin." This repudiation of the former acts of "any authority whatso ever " may have been convenient to the existing Executive. but must have been very injurious to those who, relying on the promise of the autherity for the time being, had taken their measures accordingly. It is allowable enough to change a general system, but to fly off from a particular promise which, when acted upon by one of the parties should be as binding as a contract, is utterly inex cusable. The only answer that is given on the part of the local Government to this accusation of a breach of faith is, that the lots when sold fetched very high prices, and that "it would be difficult to apply any better test of value than sale in a fair and open market." If it were a mere question of value, this answer would be fall ac i ous ; f or we need only instance thei very recent example of the railway mania to prove that a thing is not always worth what people are sometimes willing to give for it. The "stagging" system appears to have been operating in the distribution of land at Hong-Kong as well as in the allotment of shares at home, and the allegation that the price offered for an article is a test of its value receives from the merchants in China an answer that would apply almost equally well to some recent cases at the Stock-Exchange:— " We may, however, observe, in further explanation, that in June 1841, when the first sale was held, 100 lots having water frontage and 100 suburban lots were advertised for sale; but, owing to the very unfortunate selection of the site of the new town—a matter in which the merchants had no voice—sufficient available ground could be found to admit of only. 50 lots being put up, and great competition was the natural consequence. As no money was paid, or penalty beyond forfeiture of the land incurred by non-completion of the purchase, it is not a matter of surprise that when a num ber of lots, insufficient for one-third of the intending buyers, were brought to sale, the biddinga should have been unusually high! , The Government advertise more lots than they have to sell, just as the directors of a bubble company advertise for distri bution more shares than they mean to issue ; and the result, in both cases, is an eagerness to make extravagant offers, and undertake heavy liabilities, for the sake of a preference. But the premium is only temporary, for the value is forced and fictitious—a case precisely in point to that of the land at Hong-Kong, which was so eagerly sought after, and subse quently unpaid for by those who had agreed to purchase it.. The merchants of Hong-Kong remind the Government of that fact in the following passage of their letter to the offici ating Colonial Secretary : " But of the purchases made at that sale, you, Sir, must be well aware that many of the lots remain unoccupied, and are likely to continue so, as the Government have, we believe, no security under which they can enforce the completion of the agreements." Th; settlement of Hong-Kong is evidently a failure as far as trade is concerned, and the place seems only to be of im portance as a military and naval station. The Chinese po pulation is very scanty, and is likely to be rendered more so, unless certain harassing taxes are removed, which it is the object of the memorial of the' merchants to protest against, The Americans and other foreigners remain at Macao and Canton rather than resort to the much-vaunted " free settle ment" of Hong-Kong, where the merchants are likely to find themselves soon with only each other to traffic with. The establishments in which they have embarked their ca pital are too valuable to abandon, and yet are not a source •f profit commensurate with the outlay incurred. Their appeal to the Government at home is their only chance. however desperate, of changing Hong-Kong flow a mere military station, as it now is, into a thriving settlement, ac it might and ought to be.— Times. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Cu'rent of Nev. 4.) SUGAR.—To• day the improved rates previously esta blished were fully supported for all sorts of British Plantation Sugar, and a fair business was transacted, 400 hhds, &c., finding buyers, making the total sales fur the week 2,260 hhds and tierces. ItEmEn.—To-day Refined goods were purchased freely by the home trade, and higher rates were paid, brown grocery lumps selling at 64s to 651, and standard lumps 65s 6d to 66s pet cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and offered at 36s per cwt for the best. Mautunus.—An increased desire has been manifested to purchase, and for all descriptions there has been a very good demand for the scale and pan; the rates given are fully equal to those previously quoted, and merchants refrain from largely supplying the market, although the stock still exhibits as increase over that of last year. FOREIGN. —This afternoon there was no public gale of Foreign, and the private sales for the week are 40 chests of very fine yellow Havannah at 31s, and 70 chests of middling white Bahia at 27s per cwt. EAST Isata.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in brisk demand, and the parcels offered at public sale were all sold, viz., 3,161 bags at full rates. 111oLassEs.—For West India the demand has been brisk and stiffer rates have been paid for all descriptions. The total purchases amount to 600 puns. TEA.—There has been more activity in the market this week. Holders have shown firmness, and refrained from offering any at public sale. Prices are firmer for black, but any improvements in the value of Green is prevented by the heavy steck. , Congou has been sold to a large ex tent, and at prices which show a small advance on those of the last auctions. Pouchong has been pur chased with increased freedom, and stiffer prices given ; at 5d to 10d for low to good quality, but chiefly at 6d to 8d for clean. Twankay is wanted, and brings full prices. Although Gunpowder may be purchased at comparatively low rates, still few buyers are met with. imperial met with little attention. In ilyson, however, a good business has been transacted, but. at moderate rates. In Young Hyson sales to a fair extent have been made upon former terms. Scented Orange Pekoe has been sold to a fair extent. For public sale on Wednes day 1,500 pkgs of Assam are declared. COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was purchased with increased freedom, and 1,646 bags at public sale were all sold at an advance on former rates of 6d to is per cwt. For Singapore Java the demand was limited, and 578 bags at auction were taken in at 37s for good ordinary pale rather mixed with blacks, being above the value. Of Costa Rica the large quantity of 5,048 bags were offered at public sale; the sound was nearly all taken in at stiff rates. COCOA.—lmporters of British Plantation submitting to rather lower rates caused the trade to operate more freely, and at public sale 474 bags of Trinidad were sold. In Foreign there has not been much doing. A public sale of 1,416 bags of Para is declared for Tuesday. On Wednesday 400 bags of Trinidad will be offered. Rica.—To-day Bengal Rice was wanted, but further ad vanced rates being asked checked business, and 1,400 bags at public sale were nearly all taken in : good white at 22s 6d, good middling 21s 6d, being rather above the value. CINZiAIION.—The good and fine descriotions of Ceylon were in excellent demand at the quarterly sales, and the quantity brought forward being small, merchants were enabled generally to obtain an advance on the rates of the last auction of Id to 3d per Ib; inferior kinds, of which the supply was abundant, were, however, purchased with much caution; although there were sellers at reduced rates—say 3d to Gd under those of the last quarterly sales— indeed, the low and jungle descriptions were almost entirely neglected, although offered at extreme low rates. The do • wand for common Cinnamon was duller than has been the case er. for many years; the supply being gr ea t er an d pr i ma low Fiturr.—Of new Chesme Raisins, the first cargo arrived, there is no disposition to purchase, the prices required being considered too high in proportion to the value of new Wen cias, the best parcels being sold at 40s, and a great propor tion already arrived being much out of condition, have beau forced off at public sale from 38s to 395. Of new Patras Cur rants two cargoes have arrived, and are in the market at 504 but the grocers purchase very cautiously, expecting large arrivals. SPIRITS.—There has been less demand for Jamaica Ruin this week, but holders are firm and have obtained fully pre vious rates, and the quantity on show has become small. Leeward Island is much in demand, and owing to the short supply fetched stiff rates. In Demerara a fair amount of busi ness has been transacted at 2s 10d to 3s 3d for strong qualities. Calcutta is wanted at Is lld to 2s proof a,itll certificate, but the market is still scantily supplied. 'nu market has a firm appearance for Brandy, and a fair demand exists.
