LEEDS.—On Saturday there was a very brisk market for goods of all descriptions calculated for the spring demand, fine and middle qualities of cloths having met with readier sale than has been the case for some months past, but on Tuesday there was less business done ; prices continue firm, and the stocks on hand are low. Business is pretty brisk in the warehouses, considering the extreme coldness of the season, which operates very much against an early demand for the spring. The foreign houses are a little more on the move, and on the whole it may fairly be stated that a full average amount of business is doing in finished goods. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, MARCH 11 . The demand for new goods was again brisk to-day, and a good business was done. The trade in the warehouses during the week has been active. The manufacturers in the district are generally busy to order, and most of the mills are working full time. H ECKMONDW IKE BLANKET MARKET, THURSDAY, MARCH 13.--There have been two flat market-days this week. Wool still maintains its price, but blankets may be quoted a shade lower. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The demand for wool is sluggish, but there is no giving way in price to induce the spinners to buy, and consequently a very limited business doing. Yarns continue in all respects as fur some weeks past. The continuance of the frost tends to retard the operations of the merchants, and and there is less activity to day. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—WC have had rather less doing in all kinds of cloth than of late, but this fact bad no effect on prices of any descrip tion of goods. This is to be accounted for on there being no stocks. Yarns never met more ready sale, and are steadily advancing in value for all numbers.—Leeds Mercu4. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 14.—The trade have shown more disposition this week to get into stock, but the sales are limited to about 250 hhds. and trcs. West India, at steady prices ; for Mauritiusand Bengali, there have also been fair demands, chiefly for grocery purposes, and full rates have been obtained. Rum, very dulL—Bristol Mercury. JAIIES C.

Mem ber for Lambeth's motion, for an allowance of drawback on duty-paid sugars in bond, affords an amusing instance of the freedom with which the Premier treats his followers. Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Cardwell, and Sir George Clerk were put up in succession to oppose the motion ; and, to all appearance, each did his hest to show that it was neither just nor expedient that any drawback whatever should be allowed. We pre sume they were not aware of what was to follow—that they were ignorant of the stultification in store for them. But the justice of the claim was palpable to all ; and in encountering this, the contrast between the veteran hardihood of the elder officials, who met assertion by assertion point-blank, denied the applicability of the clearest precedents, and put the ne gative in the most unmistakable form—and the less direct and more subtle course adopted by Mr. Cardwell in his retreat upon principle, and the possibility of inducing a multitude of other claims, with shades of justice varying downwards in an infinite series—was very amusing, and strikingly illustrative of the relative progress of the parties in the acquirement of that " conscience that will bend and ply, Say aye or no, and not know why ;" which the "wisdom of our ancestors" deemed essential to the character of a statesman. Having taken " the sense of the House," by a sacrifice of the consistency of three of his colleagues, and so felt his way, Sir Robert Peel rose, and expressing his belief " that the Right Hon. Gentlemen the late Chancellor of the Exchequer and the late President of the Board of Trade would not have supported the proposition before the House, excepting that this was a special case, deserving peculiar consideration," at once yielded all that was asked for! How these matters are ar ranged behind the vsenes, it is difficult to conceive ; but we suppose, and indeed hope, for the sake of all parties, that some arrangement is come to which is satisfactory to the amour propre of those chiefly concerned. Sir R. Peel must, of course, take his colleagues as they are. We know that it is hard to make the extremes of official virtue meet. The perfection of obedience will lack judgment. As it ap proaches the confines of servility, it must needs lose sight of discretion ; so when a man begins to do exactly what be is told, he commonly ceases to do anything else. Undoubt edly it is the part of a leader so to marshal his followers as to make the most of their respective abilities; and it may be wisdom in the Premier so to choose and train his colleagues. as to keep them at that end of the scale of usefulness which most favours strict discipline and uniformity of action. Under the circumstances in which he is placed, it probably also favours the most complete division of responsibility which is consistent with a monopoly of official merit, and displays to the greatest advantage that " sublime of mediocrity" which constitutes his claim upon public attention and support. STANDARD.—The discussion on the sugar duties, last night, curiously illustrates one out of many of the evils of indirect taxation. You cannot repeal an indirect tax any more than you can impose or continue one, without com mitting great injustice. It is proposed greatly to reduce the sugar duties upon importation, but there is ne cessarily a great amount of sugar in the country which has paid, or which is subject to pay, these duties ; here is an obvious unfairness towards all holders of sugar, from those who have thousands of hogsheads in the Queen's warehouses bonded, to those who have it in their own refineries or warehouses, their wholesale stores or retail shops—even the chandlers'; and why not to the poor room keeper, who has her frugal store laid up in a canister for a month's use ? All suffer wrong by the change in the law, which compels them to deal in, or use a highly-taxed, while others, less provident, are dealing in or using a lightly-taxed article. But how is this injustice to be remedied ? The chandler's shopkeeper cannot be repaid his five shillings upon, it may be, his half hundred weight of sugar, or the wealthier grocer his fifty or five hundred pounds. This would open a door to frauds absolutely without limit. Ascending, however, to the larger holders, it is possible to remit the whole or part of the duty to the holders of sugar in the Queen's warehouses, but is not that merely narrow ing the injustice to the middle and lower class dealer ?—is it not also aggravating the injustice by letting loose earlier upon them, a more favoured class, and at the same time, by AO much augmenting that class ? There is, however, really no remedy; the taxation is indirect taxation, and therefore mischief and injustice adhere to it to the very last. (From the London New Price Current of March 14.) SUGAR-The market has an improving appearance for all descriptions of Colonial Sugar. To-day there was a good de mand for bright yellow descriptions which fetched fully former rates, and of brown and gray qualities buyers were induced to Purchase on a more extended scale in consequence of rather ower rates having been submitted to. At public sale 469 hhds, 11 tierces, and 137 boxes of St. Lucia, subject to the new duty of 14s per cwt, were nearly all disposed of at and after the public sale at a decline on former rates of Is per c wti fine yellow however brought the full worth, very low heavy brown went at 35s to 365. low 38s. 38s 6d, mid 40s to 40s 6d, good to fine 41s 6d to 42s 6d, low yellow 42s to 43s 6d, mid 44s to 45s 6d, good 495, fine 55s thi to 565, low gray 38s 6d to 40s, mid 41s to 425, and good 43s to 41a per cwt.

REFINED.-To-day there was a better demand for home trade goods in consequence of a further decline in prices having been accepted : brown lumps were sold at 66s to 675, and standard lumps at 68* per cwt. For bonded crushed the de mand is on the increase at 31s per cwt. Ma verrius.-This afternoon 242 bags of Mauritius Sugar, subject to the new duty of 14s per cwt, were submitted to public competition, and went at about the former value, viz., good middling yellow at 465, middling 42s 6d to 455, good brown 39s to 39s 6d, middling 36s Gd, and low 33s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.-.This afternoon at public sale 59 hhds 417 cases Manilla were offered, admissable for home consumption at the 233 4d duty, and taken in above the value, that is-mid yellow good strong grain bond at 225, low 20s 6tl to 21s, fine brown 20s to 21s, mid 18s to 191, low ratter soft 17s to 17s 6d, dabs 15s to 165, and sound grey 19s to 205. ; there were buyers of the best lots at 20s per cwt. 1,097 bags of Madras, and 518 bags of Bengal, subject to the 14s per cwt duty, were brought forward at public sale ; the former sold at the fall value, viz., good mid bright yellow at 445, mid 52s to 52s 6d, low 36s to 375 6d, damp and washed 36s to 441; the Bengal was damaged, and formed no criterion of the market low damp white went at 45s to 465, and washed 41s 6d to 44s 6d per cwt. MotAssEs.-The transactions in all descriptions of West India have been extremely limited ; but holders refrain from pressing sales, and in the value no variation has taken place. The stock is a large one, and is nearly three times of what it was last season. COFFEE.-To-day there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee. For good ordinary Ceylon 46s 6d to 475 were insisted upon, by private treaty there was little business done. Of Costa Rica 1,200 bags were sold at 43s to 445, 400 bags good Singa pore Java at 395, and 1,100 bags of Manilla at 41s 6d per cwt.

The scenes of Court life introduced to the reader are said to convey the most singular revelations respect ing the various royal and noble personages who form the dramatis persona. Among them are the Court Beauties, who give the title to the work, together with the Royal Family, the Ministers, and the various great officers of the Palace, and some of the leading characters, fashion able and literary, of the period, which is perhaps one of the most striking in our social history. Much curiosity has been excited respecting the authorship of the work, which, fJr obvious reasons, has beer► studiously con cealed. ----- THE ALLEGED ATTEMrT TO SHOOT PRINCE AL• nEnT.—As many reports are at present afloat regarding this alleged attempt to assassinate his Royal Highness Prince Albert on Tuesday last, and these reports are all exaggera tions, it becomes necessary to disabuse the public mind, and state the real facts of the case, which are these :—The Prince left the Palace on horseback by the garden gate shortly after 12 o'clock on Tuesday noon, attended by Sir E. Bowater (Equerry in Waiting) and a groom. The Prince had proceeded about half way up Constitution-hill, when a man, who was standing on the pathway, presented a pistol (as it is alleged) at his Royal Highness. There appeared to be no attempt made to discharge it, and the action was unobserved both by the Prince and his Equerry., but Colonel Knight, of 29, St. James's-place, and a Mr. Arnold were on the spot at the time, and having observed what passed noti tied the same to Sir Edward Bowater. The man who had the pistol walked on towards Buckingham Palace, as did a man who was with Win. Sir Edward Bowater. dis patched the Prince's groom in search of a policeman, but he failed to meet with one until he had reached Hyde park corner, when he called police-constable Bolton, 57 1; ' to 1 1 6 assistance and took that officer with him to the Prince's Equerry. Sir Edward described the appearance of the man to the policeman, as did Colonel Knight and Mr. Arnold. These gentlemen also accompanied the constable in search of the man. Ile was traced, through the information of one or the park gardeners, to the little gate by the Duke of gaiter land's mansion, but here all further trace was lost. Th. man was described as being from eighteen to twenty years of age, about five feet six inches high, of sallow complexion, with brown hair; he was dressed as a decent mechanic. Th e constable continued his search until he reached the Mime Guards, where he apprehended a man somewhat an swering the description given him, and took hint to Sir Edward Bowater. That gentleman at once dis covered that he was net the individual who presented the pistol, and he was immediately set at liberty. All further inquiry has proved fruitless. A description was dispatched by route to the different police-stations. The opinion of those acquainted with the fact is, that even sup posing that a man did present a real pistol at. the Prince, it was done without any evil motive. The Police Commis sioners have, in consequence of this occurrence, placed an extra constable on duty on Constitution-hill. It is a singular coincidence that on Monday night, about a quarter to twelve o'clock, as the Queen was returning from the French Plays, and in the act of entering the Palace gates, a woman threw herself on her knees before the carriage, and called out, "Queen Victoria, save your country I" The woman was re moved in custody immediately. It was a miracle that she escaped with her life, as the horses were all but trampling on her, when the coachman pulled up. It appears this woman, who is about forty years of age, Irish by birth, and resides in the low part of Westminster, is well known to the police and soldiers on duty at the Palace, and has been many times driven away from the Palace gates. She was taken to the station house in Gardiner's-lane, but after a short confine ment was set at liberty. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—The whole of the old Fleet Ditch, so long allowed to remain open as a prolific source of miasma and fever to the crowded districts iu the neighbourhood of Cow-cross, on the line of the new street from Farringdon-street, has been covered over, so that not a vestige of the old river now remains. Great activity pre vails in the formation of the new street from Spitalfields to the London Docks, the whole of the houses in the line being pulled down, and the ground made ready for the erection of new buildings. The part between Whitechapel and Spital fields has been paved, the road is being made, and the gas • lamps have been erected. Au appropriate site, near Went ' worth-street, adjoining the line, is spoken of for the erection of a new district church. At the upper part of the line form ing Leman-street the road is traversed by the Blackwall • Railway, over an iron bridge. In Leicester-square, the last house in the new street is levelled with the ground, and it is expected the road willbe opened for traffic in about another month. Nis , 'larch 13, 1845.
