Vr4l4. -- orf - A_ P t it r' - otro IT ITALY. _ The sitting of the Piedmontese Senate on the lit pas very animated, in consequence of a question to iklinisters being on the order of the day, which Signor Castagneto had given notice of, concerning the erec tion of a public Protestant church at Turin. The tri bunes were full. Signor di Castagneto declared he Was actuated by no motives of intolerance, but that in demanding an explanation on a matter concerning the religion of the State, he only wished to defend the Constitution of the land. He added that there were barely A 20,000 Protestants in Pied- "pont, who lived in a valley, where no one has meddled with them in so far as their liberty of conscience was concerned ; but that at Turin there were so few, that he thought a private chapel was quite sufficient for their wants. The Minister of the Interior answered that, in a country where the principle of civil equality was recognised, such restric tions as the Hon. Senator proposed were inadmissible. Nevertheless the Government would introduce a Bill without delay on the subject, in order to regulate the 'right of opening Protestant churches. The Senate, after some further discussion, adopted an order of the day, declaring itself satisfied with the promise the day, presented. the Bill in question would be 5 BANK OF FRANCE.

MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this dey.) The preponderating power of capital has never been more clearly shown than in the share market this week, for, notwithstanding the evident tendency to derange ment of all monetary affairs by such events as those which are now convulstug our neighbours on the con tinent, the value and the demand for all mining shares of repute have been considerably augmented, and a large business transacted, in dividend mines in partica tar. Added to this, there has been announced the most important improvement in the workings .if a number of concerns which had scarcely an exist-nce twelve months ag ), and in several instances the value of the shares has been raisel 100 to 200 per cent. It is remarkable, too, that this success comes priccipsliy from the eastern side of the Tamar (the Tavietock district), where, traditionally, it Was said, no ore would ever be found, and thus com pletely stulti , j.inj, by th 4 influence of science and capi tal, the predictions of former years. A particular mice in the west of Cornwall having demonstrated that ore is in sight for nearly two years' workings, has risen in value full 20.0001. the scares even at that advance scarcely to be purchased. Reviewing these facts, we confess that we are mare than sanguine for the future prosperity of mining in this country, since a stimulus to good management results from success, by which alone can a mining property be brought to a standard value. In the speculative class of mines, there are some dealt in at fair prices, and others either quite neglected, or the ahares disposed of at nominal figures. In the Metal Market,-Copper is without alteration, and in fair demand. Lead is in better request: there have been considerable arrivals from Spain, which have met ready sale. English Refined Tin fully maintains its price, and is scarce. Bars and blocks are in good re quest, and the stock extremely low. Foreign Tin has been in very good demand, both for home consumption and shipment to America, and gradually improved from 78s. for Benca to als., at which rate about 800 slabs have been sold, and 82s. is now asked. Straits have been sold at 805., but little is cffering. The quantity upon which duty has been paid amounts to 2,637 cwts. daring Nov., and the stock on the 30th of Oct. was 1,273 tons. The quantity imported was-up to the 30th Nov., 1831, 1,098 tons; ditto, 1850, 915 tons; ditto, 1849, 1,140 tons; ditto, 1848, 127 tons. Delivered for home use and export up to 30th Nov., 1851, 1,060 tons; ditto, 1850, 708 tons; ditto, 1849, 926 tons; ditto, 1843, 441 tons. Tin Plates and Spelter have been in better demand. In the Bullion Market-Mexican and South Ameri can dollars, buyers at 4s. 11*cl. per oz. Bar silver con taining gold, all gold above five grains in the pound to be paid for, ss. Id. per oz. standard. Bar silver, without gold, ss. Old. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. American eagles, 765. 2id. to 765. 3d. per ox. Platina, about 16s. per oz.

This letter, No. 18, was placed before the above officers present, and they have seen Captain Penny, and having afterwards communicated with their Lord ships, my Lords, on a full consideration of the circum stances, declined acceding to Captain Penny's offer.

W. A. B. H. SECRETARY OM THE ADMIRALTY TO MR. PENNY. Admiralty, Sept. 13, 1851. Sir,—Referring to a dispatch from Captain Austin, of her Majesty's ship Resolute, dated the 12th of August last, in which he states that, " having communicated with Captain Penny, and fully considered his official reply to my letters relative to the search of Wellington Strait by the expedition under his charge (unhappily without suc cess), I do not feel authorised to prosecute (even if prac ticable) a further search in these directions," I am com manded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to signify their direction to you to take the earliest op portunity of transmitting to mo for their Lordships' in formation a copy of your official letters to Captain Austin referred to.—l have, &c., (Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. 437, Strand, Sept. 15, 1851. Sir,—l am sorry that I have not with mo a copy of the note to which Captain Austin refers in his dispatch, but I know the words by heart, and they will appear in the following statement which I have the honour to lay before you for the information of the Lords of the Ad- miralty. . I stated verbally to Captain Austin that it was my conviction that Sir John Franklin had gone through the strait leading N.W. out of Wellington Channel (which I have for the present named Queen Victoria Channel), and that he had gone off in clear water, and that ho was beyond our reach. I meant, of course, beyond the roach of my parties and my means. He did not seem disposed to credit my statement. I begged him to give mo one of his steamers, and I would take the Sophia, and would act as pilot, and go up the channel, and wait to 5.: - C if the ice would clear away; that he would thus have the advantage of my practical experience. Capt. Austin declined this request, and went away. Late at night he wrote me a note, saying, "Is Wellington Channel searched, or is it not searched?" My reply in writing was, " Sir, your question is easily answered, I did all in the power of man to do in Wellington Channel. It requires no further search." I feel convinced that I have given the exact words I used, and I limited myself to the question he put to me. Captain Austin is per fectly aware that I had previously put before him all the circumstances, and that I had discovered open water leading north-west out of Wellington Channel. I have, &c. (Signed) *M. PENNY. SECRETARY OS THE ADMIRALTY TO MR. PENNY. Admiralty, Sept. 15, 1851. Sir,—With reference to your letter of this day's date, in which you state that " I begged him (Captain Austin) to give me ono of his steamers, and I would take the Sophia, and act as pilot, and go up the Channel," I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners to acquaint you that my Lords would wish you to explain clearly whether there was not a barrier of ice at the entrance of Wellington Channel, which would have prevented these vessels proceeding in that direction.-1 have, &c. (Signed) W. A. 13. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. 437, Strand, Sept. 16, 1851. Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 15th instant, in reference to my application to Captain Austin to give me one of the steamers, and I would take the Sophia and act as pilot and go up the channel, and requesting me to explain clearly whether there was not a barrier of ice at the entrance of Wellington Channel which would have prevented these vessels proceeding in that direc tion, I beg to state in reply that there was undoubtedly a barrier of ice at the time I made the application ; but I nevertheless was anxiously desirous to go up to it with the vessels I have named, and remain there for the chance of its opening until the setting in of the frost at the close of the season; it being then understood that had the wind remained from the west, as it then was, I could not expect any change, but a shift to the eastward would have made a rapid alteration in the ice. I; is my conviction that to such a sudden change is to be attributed the signs of Sir John Franklin's precipi tate departure from ,his winter encampment. For this reason I was most anxious to be watching at the edge of the ice. I have, ti:c. (Signed) WM. PENNY. SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALY TO MR. PENNY. Admiralty, Sept. 15, 1851. Sir,—With reference to the first paragraph of your letter of the 12th April last, addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, in which you state that, " the traces found of the Franklin expedition were apparently those of a retreating party," I am commended by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to call upon you to define more particularly what is meant by the said ex pression. I have, &c. (Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OP THE ADMIRALTY. 437, Strand, Sept. 18, 1851. Sir,—ln reference to the expression used by me in my dispatch of April 17th, that the traces found of the Franklin expedition were apparently those of a retreat ing party, of which you call upon me to define more particularly my meaning, I have to state that I formed my opinion entirely from Captain Ommanney; but that, as appears farther on in my dispatch, I was afterwards led to a very different conclusion on landing, and finding undoubted traces of a winter station of the Erebus and Terror in 1845 and 1846, of which the date upon the graves is positive evidence, Captain Ommanney had not seen these evidences of a prolonged stay when he formed the opinion to which I have alluded, and which was afterwards rejected by the whole of the squadron. To make the matter sure I took a travelling party to explore all the way to Cape Hurd, without finding anything which could justify the idea of a retreating party. Had it been a retreating party traces would have been found of such in the way to it and in the way from it, i n some quarter or another, whereas the w wh m o . le pE e s ou N n y t . ry has been scoured without discovering any.—l have, &c., (Signed) SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY TO MR. PENNY. Admiralty, Sept. 22, 1851. Sir,—With reference to your letters of the 12th April and Bth September last, and your report of the zealous assistance afforded to you by the several officers and others therein named, as well as to the general good conduct of your men, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that my Lords desire to express to you, and to the officers and crews of the Lady Franklin and Sophia, the sense they entertain of their praiseworthy conduct through out the service they have been employed upon; and the satisfaction of my Lords at the untiring and praise worthy exertions of the travelling parties, as evinced in the space traversed by them, and the geographical discoveries they have made. My Lords are further of opinion that great credit is due to yon and Captain Stewart, and to the officers under your orders, for the state of health maintained on board your respective ships. You will assure Mr. Peterson that the value of his services is fully acknowledged by their Lordships. I am, Sec. (Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. 437, Strand, Oct. 10, 1851. Sir,—l have read in the Times the correspondence be tween Captain Austin and myself, which their Lordships have been pleased to send to the newspapers; without meaning any disrespect to their Lordships, I hope I may bo allowed to say that I think this is not fair to myself, as I had no opportunity of making any explanation of the circumstance, which are quite necessary to a right un derstanding of it. If the object is to show that I thought nothing more could be done than the complete search I bad made of Wellington Channel, it is answered by my having asked Captain Austin for the help of a steamer, which I would pilot up. Captain Austin's own dispatch shows that on a previous occasion he did not afford me the assistance which I might have expected from him in getting my boat up to the open water. But when Captain Austin seemed to wish to throw upon me, after I had done all that man could do, the responsibility of his going there himself, and following up my discoveries, I told him that that my e h o e n h v ie el i g o o u t s m t y h a c t h s a i r r t , j a o n h d u t hFart Franklin k h l a i n d a h l a s d o t o g l o d n e h u i m p channel, in clear water, and begged him to judge for himself. My last words to Captain Austin, when he was going to Jones's Sound, were—" Go up Welling ton Channel, sir, and you will do good service to the cause." Their Lordships know that I have not been doing by Captain Austin in his absence whet he appears to have done by me, but now that he is on the spot I do not hesitate to say that I have received from him very unkind and, as I think, very unfair treatment, and I am sure 800310 of his own officers could bear out my assertions.

Ship Hotel, London, Sept. 12, 1851. Mr. Lords,—On my return from the Arctic regions I beg to lay before my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, at the very earliest moment, on consideration, certain points which are of vital importance to the search in which I and so many others have been en gaged ; and I beg your Lordships to excuse any undue freedom of expression which may occur in putting before you my convictions. First, I have, under a deep sense of duty, to exprese to your Lordships the extreme im portance of the fact, which I have learnt only since my return, that the provisions carried out by the North Star ore lying in Lancaster Sound instead of at Disco Island. Had this fact been made known to the search ing squadron ,either at the time when so deposited, or this year, it must have very materially affected the question of the return of the expedition, whose labour, now that the course taken by the missing ships is known almost to a certainty, could not have been cramped for want of resources to fall back upon. The whole of Captain Austin's squadron are convinced, from my re port, and from not having seen the North Star them selves, that Mr. Saunders deposited his provisions at Disco. I feel bound to add, that had that officer per mitted me to see your Lordship's instructions, I should have been aware that his interpretation of them was not in conformity with the meaning of your Lordships. Secondly. Your Lordships are aware that I have dis covered the course of Wellington Channel lies N.W., a distance of 60 miles beyond the point which I reached, and about 180 beyond the entrance of the channel from Barrow Straits; and that it is my conviction that the ex tensive yet unavailing investigations of the coast of Barrow Strait westward place beyond a doubt that the missing expedition has taken this N.W. channel, and that their course should be therein followed with the utmost energy, determination, and dispatch. The heavy barrier of ice which has blocked up Wel lington Channel near its junction with Barrow Straits prevented all access northwards, both last year and the present, up to the period of our return; and in my opinion a powerful steamer only, to take advantage of the short season, is fit for the accomplishment of the work. It is not possible to overrate the advantages of such a steamer; it would do with safety what nothing else could accomplish. Thirdly. My observations convinced me that, this northern latitude once reached, comparative open water would be found. The climate improves; and in proof of this I may mention, that within Ithis channel at Point Surprise, let. 76 deg. 2 min., long. 95 deg. 55 min., we found ducks on the 17th May— full a month earlier than in the lower latitude; while the sea was even then so free from ice that the water washed our very feet as we stood upon the point. The ed. quantity of drift wood was comparatively large , and among this was found a piece of drift wood of Engl ish elm, e v id ent l y to me a bit thrown overboard from the Ereb us an d Terror. Walrus and seals were also seen and k ill And i from . all these circumstances of improved fuel food and ,it is impossible to doubt that Sir John Franklin' s party may still be living in this most northern region. venture In conclusion I l immediate antreat steps for the prosecution of the importance of t you to send up a powerful to put before your lordships the search; and want of fitting means to do myself fettered by the steamer without delay to have failed to accomplish f ° o l r w w bp the work, which we so. And on account of feelin g should °m n e u: n terms of my instructions ° Lamed in further explanation, that yself bound to state, the' ter instructions I received from your Lordshipsrasthe to leave me no alternative but to retur n it not been for these restrictions I Had t have dared to have done so. At the same time, w i t h sent means, but crippled by the depots of provyistOrne; which have been left on the coast, and with no known resources to fail back upon, I could not have lasted on another year -without great risk to my men.Clure and Since my return I learn that Captain M' Captain Collinson are proceeding eastward from Behring Strait, intending to reach Melville Island, which I have not the slightest doubt of their accomplishing; and being aware also of the opinion of Captain Kellett, which is my, ouv o e wn also, that they would not ret urn westward, I I your Lordships to judge if such a certainty, as I may presume to call it, does not afford additional neces sity for • sending to meet them at the earliest moment. If the promptest possible measures d' are adopted, and a steamer . ispatch, she may easily reach Lancaster Sound before it is closed by ice for the season; ATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1851.

It had, among other things, been urged that they were in the habit of taking briefs and neglecting to attend their client's cause. Now it generally happened that briefs were delivered a week or more previous to a case ccming on, when it was im possible to say at what particular time counsel's attend ance would be required, and if, in consequence of other causes being struck out, or for many other reasons, their duties should happen to clash, it was no fault of theirs. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 201. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. • William Long, an omnibus conductor, who was placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt on Monday last on the charge of stealing a coat, value 31., the property of Mr. Marsden, of the Goose and Gridiron, St. Paul's- Churchyard, was again brought up, and a variety of charges of stealing goods from the London and North- Western and South-Western Railway stations were pre ferred against him. The orignal charge having been completed by the pro duction and identification of the coat, other charges were then taken. From the number of largo trunks, portmanteaus, packages, &c., which had been found at prisoner's lodg ings and yesterday produced in court, it appeared that ho had been carrying on a very extensive system of plunder. The officer said he had still a number of other charges against the prisoner. Alderman CIIBITT said it would bo useless to go on with them on the present occasion, as there were already five or six complete cases, on which he intended to re mand the prisoner.—Remanded accordingly. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ _ Thomas Cammans, a foreigner, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having stolen a piece of silk from the Zollveroin department of the Great Exhi.. bition. Tho constable said he went in pursuit of the prisoner, and took him in custody at the Life Guards public•house. On their way to the building the prisoner dropped a length of satin, which was afterwards proved to have been stolen from a trunk. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully coin witted. • Ann Taylor and Susan Morgan, two well-known thieves and prostitutes, were brought up before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealing three 5/. Bank of Eng land notes from Mr. Alexander Brodie, the master and owner of the ship Woodman, lying in the London Docks. Police-sergeant Macintosh, No. 9 H, said he had been unable to trace the notes, and that the prosecutor was too drunk to appear. Mr. INGISAM ordered the prisoners to be removed till the prosecutor was sober, and they were detained till the afternoon, when they were arraigned in the dock, and Captain Brodie, the prosecutor, reeled towards the witness-box. Inspector White, of the H division, said Capt. Brodie bad been again drinking that morning, and was 6 ‘ half seas over," and not in a fit state to give evidence. A large sum of money in gold, of which he would have been plundered if a woman named Brown had not inter fered, was taken from him, and the sergeant had charge of it. Mr. INGHAM commented on the disgraceful circum stance of the owner and captain of a ship mixing with such company as he had done, and coming into a court of justice in the state he was in. Ho ordered the pri soners to be again removed, and Captain Brodie was led to a seat in the corner of the court, where he remained with his head hanging down in a maudlin condition for another hour, when Mr. White said the captain was going to sail with his ship that night, and there was no chance of his being in a fit state to give evidence that day. Mr. INGHAM directed the prisoners to be sent for, and, after they had entered the dock, addressed them and said—lt was, perhaps, fortunate for them the captain was not iu a fit state to give evidence, and that his ship was about to sail. He discharged the prisoners, and said that, considering the company and the neighbour hood Captain Brodio was in, he was extremely lucky that he had not lost his gold as well as his notes. Captain Brodie, who appeared to have been drinking very freely, and was in a very disorderd state, said he knew he was groggy, and was led out of court by the police, who took charge of him and said they would re store the gold when he became sober. WANDSWORTH. Mr. Benjamin Baugh, of No. 21, South Lambeth New-road, Lambeth, and described on the charge-sheet as a gentleman, was brought before Mr. Paynter and placed in the dock charged with so violently assaulting Charles Cox, aged 14, the son of a gardener, living in Nile-cottages, Larkhall-lane, Clapham, as to render him incapable of attending to prefer the charge. Police-constable Thomas Newman, 250 V, produced the medical certificate, of which the following is a copy:— " Preston-lodge, Larkhall-lane, Dec. 5. " This is to certify that I have attended Charles Cox, who is suffering from the effects of a severe kick on the groin and scrotum, which will confine him to his bed for some days. There does not appear to be any symp toms of rupture consequent upon the injury. "G. S. MlaucaruN, Surgeon." The constable stated that about half-past six o'clock on the previous evening he saw the defendant in South Lambeth very drunk, and running after several boys, who, he believed, had been annoying him. The injured boy, who was coming from a contrary direction, and had no connexion with the other boys, was assaulted by the defendant, who kicked him in a most brutal manner before he (the constable) could interfere. The lad was carried to his home, and he took the defendant to the station-house, who there stated that he was a gentleman of no profession. Mr. PAYNTEIt did not call upon the defendant for any defence, but said he should require him to find two re sponsible bail in 401. each, and himself in 801. The mother of the boy was called into court, and, in answer to a question from the magistrate, said her son suffered very severely throughout the nigh*, The defendant asked the Magistrate if he might speak to the boy's mother. Mr. PAYNTER—You may do so if you choose, but I shall go on with the case. The defendant, after hearing some further evidence, was then removed to the cells, and had not been bailed out when the court closed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 5. ;Sittings at Nisi Prins, at 'Westminster, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Common Juries.) GOODRICK V. SUMMON. In this case Mr. Sergeant C. Jones and Mr. Charnock appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. MilwErd for the defence. _ _ Mr. Sergeant JONES, in opening the case, said that the action was brought to recover compensation for a breach of promise of marriage, the circumstances of which were more than usually distressing. It would appear that the plaintiff is a young woman about twenty four years old, and who, about April or May, 1850, lived with the defendant's brother, who is a draper in Lambeth-road, in the capacity of housekeeper. At this period the defendant was a shopman in his brother's establishment, but had since left that situation, and was now'in business himself. About July, 1850, sho left the employ of the defendant's brother, and went to reside with the defendant, who was then living at a private house in St. George's-road. Previous to this, however, while living in the service of the defendant's brother, the defendant paid her much attention, and at length, under a promise of marriage, succeeded in seducing her. The result of their intercourse was a child, which was born on th© 14th of July, 1851, and which died three days after birth. Several witnesses were called for the plaintiff, and among them the person at whose house the plaintiff was living at the time of the birth of the child. Although it was proved that the defendant had at different times paid sums of money to the plaintiff or on her account, none of the witnesses appeared to bo able to furnish any very satisfactory evidence as to the promise of marriage. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case Mr. Sergeant WiLines, for the defence, submitted to the Court that there was no case to go to the jury. His LORDHIP, however, said that ho did not feel jus tified in stopping the case, although he had seldom heard a weaker one. Mr. Sergeant WILLING then submitted to the jury that this was merely a speculative action on the part of the attorney of the plaintiff, who had made the experiment in order to put costs into his pocket, in case his client was successful. He should be able to prove that the plaintiff was a person of such character es to prevent any man who entertained the least feeling of self-respect from making her his wife. He would show that she had offended against chastity with other men besides the defendant, and had proof of other glaring misconduct on her part. Moreover, she had signed a document which he would read. It bore date, " London, August 13, 1851," and was to the following effect:— "In consideration of sundry sums of money I have received, and also what I have this day received, I hereby exonerate Mungo Slimmon from all further claim, directly or indirectly. " ANNA GOODRICK." This, he hoped, would be sufficient to satisfy the jury that the plaintiff had no just claim, pecuniary or other wise, upon the plaintiff. Samuel George Boyd was then called. He stated, that at Christmas last he was at the defendant's house for about a fortnight, assisting him in his business. Plaintiff was there at the time. He was intimate with her, and had had intercourse with her while living in defendant's house. This was in the kitchen. Upon one occasion about that period she came home in a cab with some man; sho was then in a state of intoxication. Oa cross-examination the witness admitted that he had occasionally been in the company of some members of the " swell mob," conversing and drinking with them, but denied that he was himself a swell mobsman. H e was also closely cross-examined as to the intercourse he had had with the plaintiff, to which, however, his replies were uncertain and unsatisfactory, It was also proved that the handwriting of the docu ment relied on by the defendant was in this witness's handwriting. Some other witnesses were also examined on behalf of the defendant, among whom was his sister, who stated, in the course of her evidence, that during the pregnancy of the plaintiff she had several conversations with her upon the subject of her approaching confinement, and upon other matters connected with her acquaintance with the defendant. At the close of the defendant's case, The CHIEF JUSTICE observed that the defendant's case would have been a much better one if he had called no witnesses, but relied on the efforts of his counsel alone. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—I trust your Lordship does not impute to me— The CHIEF JUSTICE—Nothing, brother, but want of moral courage. You should have followed your own course without reference to the wishes of your client. It would hare been better fur him if you had been per mitted to do so. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—If a counsel in these days relies on his own judgment in opposition to that of his instruc tors, ho is most likely the next day to be held up to pub lic execration in the newspapers. As, however, the hint comes from such high authority, I will fur the future in all cases exercise my own discretion. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, took occasion to observe that counsel were often found fault with and BANKRUPTS.

EXETER, DEC. s.—Cattle Market—As is generally the case, the market previous to the fair was thinly at tended and as scantily supplied. There were very few beasts driven in, and not many sales were effected. Prices were about the same as last week. For prime beef, 7s 9d to 8s per score; inferior, 7s to 7s 6d. Cows and calves were from 91 9s to 144 and in some instances higher. Steers, a very few of which were shown, were offered at about the same as last week. Barreners, 4s to 4s 6d per score. Sheep were more plentiful, and several prime lots changed hands at about 5d per lb for wethers, and 4id for ewes. Pigs, a sfnall supply at previous prices. _ Pork Carcases—The supply was tolerably large, at prices ranging from 6s to 6s 9d per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s to Ss each; geese, 45 to 5s 6d; ducks, 3s 6d to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s ditto; roasters, 4s to 5s each; pheasants, 6e per brace ; par tridges, 2s 9d to 3s ditto; black game, lOs ditto; wild duck, 4s to 4s 6d per couple; widgeon, 35 6d ditto ;:teal, 2s 6d ditto; woodcocks, 4s 6d to 5s ditto; snipes, is 3d to is 6d ditto; pigeons, 10d each; hares, 2s 6d to 3s ditto; rabbits, 10d ditto; butter, is per lb; eggs, 10 to 12 for a shilling. Corn Exchange—Very few samples have been exhibited, and the lateness of the time at which the market commences—which is a source of general complaint—precludes the possibility of our as certaining the precise state of the market. Wheat was quoted higher than last week, at from 55 to 5s 3d per bushel; barley, 3s to 3s 4d; oats, 2s 2d to 2s 3d ditto. Fine flour, 29s to 308 per sack. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 5.--The transactions of the week have been unimportant, owing to the in difference of holders to offer their stocks at present rates; prices, however, are well supported, and in one or two instances a slight improvement has been obtained for good refining sorts, which are wanted. The refined market continues steady, with a fair business doing at previous rates. Rum is still dull, and rather lower. — Bristol Mercury.
