EVEN . ING EDITION HE P 01.ISH EMIGRANTS. The P dish C o'nmittee have frequently assembled in the chambers of the Guildhall, for the purpose of mak ing preparations:, and arrangements for the 17th inst., when the Giui‘ ,dhall will present a scene of almost unri valled splery _tour. The exertions of the citizens will be proport'.oned to the great call upon the public hu manity, "ore earnest as that call has been made by the failure of all the recent attempts elsewhere to check the approach of starvation to those real objects of compas sion. The Committee look forward with warm hope and expectation to the effort as likely to compensate in the issue for the calamitous results adverted to. Mr. PEACOCK, who has presided so often when we 'have had to detail the successful operations of the Com• saii.ttee, acted as Chairman. Lotd DUDLEY STUART handed in a list of patrons ;and patronesses, a great many of whom have pledged themselves to attend, and all of whom are determined to employ the few short days that will remain in exertions in promoting the success of the noble experi ment in behalf of the Poles :—His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, her Royal Highness the Duchess o. Kent, his Grace the Duke of Somerset, her Grace the Duchess of Somerset, his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, her Grace the Duchess of Hamilton, his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, her Grace the Duchess of Beaufort, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marchioness of Lans (Inkrne, the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Marchioness of Breadalhane. the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Earl of Chesterfield, the Countess of Chesterfield, the Earl of Craven, the Countess of Craven, the Earl of Errol, the Countess of Errol, the Elrl of Essex, the Countess of Essex, Viscount Palmerston, Viscountess Palmerston, the Earl of Scarborough, the Earl of Compton, Lady Charles Fitzroy, Viscount San; don, Lsdy Frances Sandon, Lord Wharncliffe, Lady Wharncliffe, Lord Cranstown, Lord Panmure, Count D'Orsay, the Hon. Colonel G. Anson, the Hon. Mrs. Geo. Anson, the Hon. Colonel L. Stanhope, the Hon. Mrs. L. Stanhope, the Hon. Mrs. Singleton, Sir F. Burdett, Bart. MY., W. M. Stanley, Esq., M.P., J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P., Mrs. J. A. Smith, W. J. Patten, Esq , M.P„ Mrs. W. Patten, Mrs. Skinner, Ike. In presenting the list, Lord Dudley Stuart ex pressed in the strongest manner the grateful sentiments of the band of gallant but unfortunate men who once more three themselves upon the benevolent aid of the Corporation of London. He saw in the manner in which that Corporation had granted the use of their magnificent hall an assurance of success, and his hopes were more strongly confirmed upon observing that upon every meeting which had taken place since his petition had been granted, the numbers of the friends of those for whom he claimed their sympathy had increased.— (Cheers.) It was, he confessed, with no ordinary anxiety he contemplated the result of the labours of a Committee, to whom the poor Poles were so deeply indebted, and to whom, if it had not been for the succession of disappointments to which they had been subjected, he would not have fled for succour. But the funds for their support were exhausted, and winter, with all its terrors to the indigent, was at hand.— (Cheers.) He hoped to meet in that Hall once more a warm hearted multitude, assembled to spend one night of elegant enjoyment and graceful hilarity, in the com pany as it were of benevolence itself. It should be generally known, for it could not fail to act as a stimu lus, that all the attempts made since the last ball in the City, to raise the funds nut of an exhausted and lifeless condition, were not only unproductive experiments, but some of them were positive losses, inasmuch as the receipts did not equal the amount of the outlay. The result of the former City ball, was worthy of a great country, and a generous people.—(Loud cheering.) He heard those expressions of approba tion with delight, because they were evidence of the continued efficacy of that power and that feeling to which the poor exiles were already so deeply in debted.—(Great cheering.) But however probable, or morally certain, success might appear to those who had the least means of appreciating the steps taken to insure it, the only safe rule to be observed was for every one to act as if the event depended upon his single exertions. That was an old rule, but not an atom the worse for wear. Modern improvement had not yet suggested a better.—(Cheers.) Again he would call upon the friends of humanity to bestir them selves. What more appropriate present could a brother make to his sister, a lover to his mistress, or even a father to the children et his affection, than a treat to the Polish hall, where they could join in the same scene of gaiety with persons of the highest rank and fashion, and witness a display of magnificence such as only found its equal in the courts of Princes, at the same time that they were conforming to one of the first precepts of their religion, and exercising one of the best feelings of the human heart ? Nor would it tend to lessen their enjoyment of such an indulgence, if, in the midst of the splendid group by which they would be surrounded, their thoughts should glance for a moment at the condition and character of the destitute Poles.—(Cheers.) They were heroes who, after performing prodigies of valour in support of what they felt to be right, had flung themselves upon our shores for protection. They were many of them noblemen, officers of high rank, gentlemen of great in fluence in their own country. In this country they are all reduced to what Burke so emphatically called " the awful equality of misfortune,"depending in a great mea sure on the precarious bounty of the public for support, so that the power of contrast had not been wanting to sharpen the taste of adversity to their souls.—(Cheers.) Our fair countrywomen who loved bravery and pitied misfortune, would not, he well knew, be slow to mark their feelings on such an occasion. —(Great cheering.) They would not forget that the winter was fast ap proaching, and that those who had often stood the shock of battle without flinching, were appealing to them fo protection against cold and hunger, enemies that could not be resisted by the sword.—(Cheers.) Mr. RICHARD GRAVES M‘DONNELL also addressed the Committee, in a speech of strong feeling. He ad verted to an observation which was made in the Court of Canmon Council, when application was made to the Corporation for the use of the Hall, to the effect that it was the duty of the Court to consider the case o their own poor, before they took any steps to relieve the wants of strangers. He would take the liberty of remarking upon that observation, that whilst the poor of our country had many places of refuge, our count less hospitals and charitable institutions for the cure of every disease that could afflict them, and established funds, contributed by every parish for their support, the Polish exile had no such refuge—no such means of subsistence. Again, though many wealthy, many influential and high dignitaries of Church and State were numbered among the subscribers to the funds of the Association, it was no less true that the charity ex ercised by them towards their own poor diminished, and very properly, the amount of their contributions for strangers ; whilst the enthusiasm once awakened through political circumstances had almost grown weak in proportion as the sufferings of the Poles had increased. Thus, though the list of subscriptions towards the funds of the Association presented high names, it pre sented few, and the amount received was con sequently utterly inadequate to meet all the demands of the Association.—(Cheers.) The Association was obliged every week to satisfy calls made upon them of the most heart-rending nature, by those who were suffer ing; from illness, and those who wished to leave the country ; whilst it also endeavoured by leans and other assi,tance, to enable others to earn a livelihood for themselves. The examination of the minutes of the Council of the Literary Association of the friends of Poland, would show, too, that no charitable fund could be distributed with more care.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN of the Committee, who are entitled In zreat praise for the admirable arrangements they arc making, and the continuing zeal with which they have devoted themselves to the cause, congratulated the meeting upon the cheering prospect. He calculated immensely upon the generous advocacy of the other sax, to whom so pathetic an appeal had been made, and who, he knew would, through the glorious humanity of th e press of the metropolis, be informed that almost i.yery thing depended upon their approving smiles.— (Cheers.) No language could, ho declared, do justice to the exertions of Lord Dudley Stuart, whose perse verance at all times, and under all circumstances of (115. coin - eget - tient and depression, exhibibited one of those rare instances of public and private virtue, which were likely to be more praised than imitated.—(Cheers.) The Committee will meet again to close the arrange ments for the ball and concert, and several of the members will address the Chairman on what may be expected. It is quite remarkable that the co-operation amongst men who are on most other occasions at variance, is, in the Polish Bail Committee, without the slightest inter ruption, as if to show that harmony itself was d est i ned to to spring out of the very elements of political discord.

Countess and family early in the ensuing week, at Brighton. A correspondent at Boulogne writes that, a fe w days since, a fishing-boat of that port, having picked tip a t sea one of the trunks of M. Gu;zot, which went down with the Phenix, the crew, instead of landing it at the (1' 1 4,Y, tint it on shore concealed in their nets, and carried it into the house of the owner of the boat, where the contents of the prize were to be divided. The embroidery of M. Guixot's coafs was destined to ornament the clothes for the fishermen's wives, but the captors quarrelled about the partition of their booty. One of them, to whose share i srissiiiothin g but an old pair of slippers was allotted, complained „so loudly, that the police got wind of the affair, and next day made a seizure, not o n l y of the trunk and its contents, 2 1--- but of the owner of the boat and all his men, who are safely l o dged in prison. Before the l oss of the Phenix, another boat found a pian9 fijating at large, brought it to Bou logne, and sold it, +y <~_ REPORT OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. Nov. 4, 1840.—We have not much to boast of in recording the transactions of the month just closed, yet it is some satisfaction that we are not compelled, as on too many recent occasions, to give only a gloomy and discouraging account. Though not so brisk as either of the two preceeding months, still October was marked by tolerable activity, and the business done was no doubt moderately profitable both to merchants and manufacturer. The home market continued to be the principal one ; as although one or two minor foreign markets arc requiring more goods than for some time past, the great market of export, the United States, yet continues, comparatively speaking, closed to our fabrics. The amount of business would, we be lieve, have been considerably greater, had not the appre hension of war, coupled with the tightness of the money market, produced a considerable degree of embarrass ment, and of a further WI of prices. Of stocks we have again to report that they are light. Various causes have contributed to make them so ; and we need not enumerate them, as they are familiar to our readers who are interested in the trade. We may, however, observe in passing, that the proportion of the supply of goods to the demand is not very likely to be soon in excess, and therefore that prices will be steady. Two powerful circumstances secure this—there is some lack of means to launch out in the production of goods, and there is no small dis inclination as well. The manufacturers and mer chants have a vivid recollection of the downward pro gress of prices for two or three years past ; and their caution, at present, bears an exact ratio to the suf fering and loss thereby occasioned to them. They will do well not to forg6t the lesson too soon. It re quires, we think, only moderate caution to insure a fair profit for the ensuing six months at least. We apprehend that there remains but a small stock to be forced on the market, and that when Christmas turns there will be little else but legitimate production and sale. It will then depend on the producers, by appor tioning the quantity they throw on the market, carefully and guardedly to the demand, to secure a profit. The amount of business does not depend on their prudence— the profitableness of that business unquestionably does. We gave an opinion i❑ July that the storm which had swept over the trade for two or three years had nearly spent its force ; and that calm first, and favourable breezes afterwards, might be calculated upon. Four months have elapsed since we gave that opinion, and though, as we then expressed our fears, several failures have taken place in the mean time, and a considerable quantity of cloth has been forced on the market, we consider that our opinion has been borne out. Those failures we then considered inevitable, and, with one exception, they have exercised but little local influence. Neither do they indicate the continuance of pressure and embarrassment in trade generally—they are the results of past causes—the foundering of the vessel, when the storm has passed away. They have created no astonishment or alarm, and have occurred at a moment when solvent houses were doing, not their usual amount of business indeed, but a fair business at a profit. If our belief then was strong that we had got over " the worst," it is even stronger now, and we cannot but think that if peace be preserved, a more prosperous state of things will speedily arrive. The prospect at home is certainly en couraging. Whatever we may think of the qual,.ity of the harvest relatively to the wants of another pe-, the present price of food cannot but act favourably en all our staple manufactures, by causing an additional con sumption of goods, and of course a more geners em ployment of our manufacturing population. It w 1;! be time enough to speculate on the extent of the c'op, when we approach more nearly to another harvest I me, and the probabilities of its amount can be calculated with tolerable accuracy. A more favourable seed time has seldom been known, and if report is to be credited, there has never been a year in which so much wheat has been sown as the present. To these favourable circum stances as to the present and future supply of the first necessary of life, must he added the diminishing proba bility of a continental war. We shall greatly rejoice when all apprehension of so dire a calamity sEall be re moved. We have regarded, with no small degree of surprise, the apathy of the manufacturing classes, with regard to this subject. Perhaps the long duration of peace has effaced from the recollection of our older merchants the disastrous influence of war, alike on capi talists and labourers ; though, we should imagine, there are not a few who can recal the sufferings consequent on the second American war ; and, no doubt, a large pro portion of the present race of merchants have entered the trade since the last war closed ; still we cannot but deem it strange that the sudden and alarming prospect of war did not excite a more intense interest, and call up some expression of opinion from the manufacturing classes. We advert to the subject now, not in any serious apprehension of a war breaking out ; but be cause we think it of great importance that the whole manufacturing community should be most sensitive on this point, and should watch every prognostic or source of the disturbance of peace betwixt this country and any one of the great nations of the civilised world, with most intense jealousy. We fear that neither capitalists nor labourers reflect deeply enough on the very altered condition of the country since the peace of 1615, as a manufacturing nation ; nor arc sufficiently awake to the wide-spread mischief which would be caused by any great revulsion in our staple manu facture, or any large diversion of trade from its wonted channels. Were they so, sure we are that i a general expression of the public voice against war would have issued from all the great hives of our manufacturing population not indeed that expres sion of its unmixed evil and mischievousness, and. of its immorality, which, could we mould it, it would bear ;—but of its utter incompatibility with the steady progression of comfort, order, know ledge, and national wealth ; an opinion which we are glad to see is becoming daily more prevalent in all society. We are not sanguine enough to hope that the perception of the evils of war to a manufacturing and commercial country is so general or so strong as to render the recurrence of that worst of social ills, un likely or impossible ; but of this we are convinced that a general war would bring with it such intolerable evils, that few would remain at its close unconvinced at least of the utter folly of war, if not of its deep criminality. Coupling the decreasing price of food with the dimi nished hazard of war, we cannot but indulge a strong hope that the ensuing spring trade will be far more pros perous than the two last seasons at least ; and our hope is strengthened by the more encouraging aspect of business in the United States. We shall be most glad to change the tone and style of our reports, were it only for the sake of variety ; we are heartily tired of their gloom and monotony. SPLENDID FOX HUNT. An unexpected treat to the lovers of the chase was enjoyed on Friday last near Kendal, which severely tested the merits of the Kendal pack of harriers. They proved themselves, however, true to their game, and ran a distance of upwards of 30 miles in little more than two hours, keeping close upon Reynard nearly the whole dis tance. The fox, hearing their sweet music when hunting in the neighbourhood, stole away from his cover in Lock rigg wood, in Hutton. Mr. J. A,kew, jun., seeing the crows and magpies hovering over a particular spot on Helme, made towards it, and, from a wall, espied bold Reynard seated at his ease, little expecting an enemy so near. Mr. A. cried out to his father, who was at work with him in the field, " A fox ! a fox ! and he's stolen our goose tail and a piece out of its back." After a short consultation, Mr. A. started off for Mr. Itiuth mell's hounds, bat found that gentleman starting for Yorkshire, where he had to attend a set hunt. Mr. R. despatched him immediately for the Kendal Pack. In the meantime, Mr. G. Bateman, of the Dog and Duck Inn, Kendal, was passing Barris-green in a gig, and being informed by the exciseman, that a fox had just crossed the road, and that the Kendal hounds were out near the spot, went immediately in search of them, and came up with the huntsman at End-moor. He immediately took him into his gig, and arrived with the pack on the scent, a distance of two miles, in little more than five minutes. The dogs started beautifully at the high public-house, Thrras-green, and quested him to Oxen Helme-wood into a turnip field, near Hay-close, belonging to Mr. Atkinson. Reynard started cff at a slapping pace over Helme, hut was turned back by two young men—took the west side of Helme—passed the pond down to Natland, the dogs being close upon him. He then entered Mr. Harrison's orchard, and; foiled the dogs for a few mi nutes ; they were, however, quickly put upon the scent again by W. Cassan ; he then passed under Lawkrigg, High Barn, and right through the village of Sedgwick —doubled to the east, but finding the wind blowing strong from that quarter, turned again ; crossed the canal, and made for Leven's Park. Being hard pressed, and evidently distressed, he ran along the park wall side, to High Barns, where Mr. Booking tally-ho'd him, and lie took off direct for He versharn head—passed through Hevershatn, and made up to NIA% Stnithie's summer-house, just above Finding no quaeter, and not willing to Icave our his s et oldoHigh haunts, Bar h n s ;ed t h dou bled hL and e%,e linearly Park, retr acedmade a l ( t i i e s afLonorddtphgreeepstsulear(nnitph:iatkiroednroad,upon gay l crossed it, and entered Heave's .The pack were stea d y at t h eir wor k, and eyn ie ard who appeared note to , take the Park, and was h ed his matter seriously.

At the time w e wr i te a watch is on the spot, and another day's sport expected with him. Mr. Bateman and W.

The polling will proceed from nine in the morning to four in the after noon to-morrow and on Thursd a y, an d commenc in g again at eight on the morning of Friday, will close two hours after, at ten. Where the Thole number of voters ap proaches 3,000-.--ivhere voters are scattered over all part s of the United kingdom—where half the voters, at least, cannot be expected to conquer indifference or aversion to anything which savours of a p o liti ca l s t r u g gl e , or to subject themselves to the inconvenience of coming from a distance, even though a candidate of unsullied cha racter calls upon them to fling away all but moral con• siderations, and on moral grounds to give him their support—under all these circumstances, we say, it is im possible to predict in the of th e contes t. B a t if we judge from the article the Times of this morning, we should say that Lord Lyndhurst' s f r i en d s ex p ec t a d e f ea t. The Chronicle has this mornin g rem i n d e d i ts rea d ers of Lord Lyttclfon"s general support of the Ministry, and of his vote in favour of Lord Fitzwilliam's motion on the Corn-laws. We trust th at t h e Lib era l Mem bers of the Senate did not need to be reminded of this, and we confess that we very much prefer appeal ing to Liberals on those moral grounds on which we understand that Lord Lyttelton has been proposed, than to run a risk of offending his Lord s hip' s conscien tious Conservative supporters by the int ro du c tio n of po litical topics,irrelevantw ineh to the q uest i on. T he Ti mes has, besides b e i ng po li t i ca l , are, to our thinking, the unblushing impudence to assert that Lord Lyttel ton " can now no longer hope to come out of the struggle without defeat and without discredit." The question of defeat we leave to be decided on Friday. As for discredit, we would rather say with the Chronicle that " the circumstances under which Lord Lyttelton has been proposed, the eminence of his opponent, the unanimity of hi s o wn College—Lord Lyndhurst's College—in his favour, the support which he has received from the most distinguished members of all professions and of all parties,—that these circumstances give to Lord Lyttelton a glory whose brightness can neither be brightened by victory, nor tarnished by defeat." Lord Lyndhurst must feel bit terly the injudicious kindness of his friends, who, while he was enjoying a retirement at Baden, undisturbed by political excitement, or the impulses of ambition, com mitted him to a contest with a young nobleman, with whom to have contended (if we only consider their respective positions), must take away all glory from his victory, while no fresh sting can be imparted to his defeat. BOIV-STREET. having fulfilled the condition, put the execution in force, and the goods of the defendant were advertised to be sold to-morrow, or next day, by the Sheriff of Somer. setshire. The Cowart could not interfere, but the parties who enforced the execution, would do so at their peril. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Ivor. NEW TRIAL VAPta.—ELLIOT P. KEMP. Mr. Baron PARKE read 'over his notes of this trial, from which it appeared that a Mrs, Lane died in 1832, possessed of certain furniture, which the defendant, who had married one of the daughters of the deceased, sold off by public auction, and pocketed the proceeds. There was another daughter left, who, some years after, was married to the plaintiff, and then they made a de mand of half the proceeds of the sale of the furniture. The demand was refused, and then the wife of the plaintiff took out letters of administration, and then in that character demanded the goods ; and, upon refusal of the demand the present action of trover was com menced. The jury had found for the defendant, on the ground that the plaintiff had not proved any actual pos session of the property in Mrs. Lane, the presumption being that she had them as the administratrix of her husband, who died in 1829. Mr. HUMPHREY now showed cause against a rule for a new trial. The rule was supported by Mr. Sergeant BomPAs, and Mr. R. GURNEY. . The COURT, after a short consultation, said they would take time to consider their judgment. CONSISTORY CULTRT, Nor. 10. (Before Dr. LUSHINGTON.) RAKER AND OTHERS U. THOROGOOD. The Registrar of the Court reported in this case, which is a proceeding against John Thorogood for con tempt, the bill of costs at 161. 13s. Bd. Her Majesty's Advocate, for the Churchwardens of Chelmsford, contended that before the Court could re lease the party from imprisonment the costs must be paid, and that this could not be superseded. The Court, after a most minute examination of the law, 3 and 4 Vic. cap. 93, decided that the words " costs lawfully incurred, by reason of the custody and contempt of the party," meant the costs incurred in the Ecclesiastical Courts, and directed that when those costs were paid, and likewise the amount of the rates sued for, ss. 6d., in one case, and 3s. Bd. in the other, John Thorogood should be discharge d from prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Eliza 11PClure and Ellen Elen, two elderly women, were yesterday brought Mr. Twyford, charged with breaking and entering the dwelling-house of John Black burn, a cowkeeper, residing in Short's Gardens, Drury lane, and stealing therefrom a box containing a quantity of money and other articles, his property. It appeared from the evidence, that at four o'clock in the morning the prosecutor, accompanied by his son, a lad aged fourteen years, went to the cowhouse, and the boy, returning about five o'clock, discovered that the lock of the bed-room had been forced open, and the box produced taken away. On going into the back yard, he saw the prisoners endeavouring to convey it over the wall into the yard of the next house, where they lived. An alarm being given, the prisoner M'Clure made her escape by the hall-door, but was subsequently apprehended by 73 F, from the description he had re ceived ; and the other prisoner was brought out of bed, having let herself down by the wall, at the time she was discovered assisting to convey the box away. The prosecutor proved that he left the box safe in the room when he went out on his business, and on re covering it he found that it had not been broken open, or any of the money, consisting of 21. in silver, and a great quantity of halfpence, with other property, re moved. The prisoners denied . the charge ; they were fully committed for trial. _ _ John Vosper, 159 E division, was placed at the bar, charged on suspicion with stealing a silk handkerchief, the property of Fanny Roberts, 9, Chapel-place, Duke street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The Superintendent of the E division said that it was necessary to state that the person making the complaint had been charged with stealing two sacks of oats, and was held to bail to appear at the next Ses sions at the Central Criminal Court. The prosecutrix stated that her husband was ostler to James Fowerthick, a cab-driver ; and on Friday, being taken into custody, she left two silk handker chiefs in her room, where Eliza Thorndyke was staying. On the following day she was brought before the Ma gistrate and discharged,on entering bail to appear again, and on her return home the handkerchief was gone. Mr. JARDINE—What was the nature of the charge against you ? Witness—With receiving the oats that had been left on the premises. Mr. JAILDINE-Was any person committed for the offence ? Witness—Yes, the carman, who was sent to deliver the load at another place. . Eliza Thorndyke, who had been taken into custody on Saturday, proved that she left the hankerchief on the end of the sofa, and having taken some breakfast to the other prisoners, it was gone when she returned. After being examined she was discharged, and during her absence, the key of the room was delivered to the prisoner. Prisoner--Who was the person left in charge of the room when you went with the breakfast ? W itness— A person who was working for Thorndyke, the pri soner. Constable Pocock proved that he delivered up the keys to the prisoner, and although he resided in Chapel place, and was known to the prosecutor, ho never heard of the circumstance for several days. Mr. JARDINE said that in the course of his expe rience he never met with a complaint so utterly desti tute of foundation ; and as no particle of the evidence went to establish the case against the constable, it should be dismissed. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (TUESDAY EVENING.) POST.—The leading particulars communicated by us yesterday relative to the stoppage of Messrs: H. and J. Johnston and Co. seem, from what has transpired to-day upon the same subject, to have been substantially, if not literally, correct. A few additional facts have been elicited from the party who took the most promi nent share in the extraordinary frauds practised on the house. This person has not quitted the kingdom for the United States, as was generally affirmed to be the case, On the contrary, it is found that he is not only accessible to his late employers, but that interviews have already taken place between them. No harsh measures are, we understand, to be adopted if such disclosures be made by him as may enable Messrs. Johnston and Co. to wind up their affairs in the best manner that circum stances will at ail admit of ; and it is believed that some of the property declared to have been squandered and lost is not so utterly beyond the reach of recovery as was imagined in the first instance. The sum jeopar dised is said to be from 80,000/. to 90,000/., while the total liabilities of Moms. Johnston and Co. are esti mated at 150,000/. A report was current in the course of the afternoon that the establishment had, before their suspension, provided for the whole of their engagements falling due within the ten days following, and that, in the event of things not turning out materially worse than present appearances would seem to justify the ex pectation of, they will resume almost immediately. This, however, was not commonly credited. The value of the English funds, as quoted at the commencement of business, has not been fully supported. Sunday having intervened at Paris, we have further quotations from the thurse by which to regulate the operations in this market, and the speculators have, for the moment, ceased from going into any bargains of magnitude, much importance, in the present circumstan ces of the two nations being naturally attached to the stock jobbing movements reported trom that capital. HERALD.—The Palmerston policy, as measured according to the editorial Globe, by the unerring test of the funds, is damaged somewhere about 1-16th since yesterday. The singularity is that the policy is com• paratively worse for time than money, the reverse of esterday, which would seem to indicate that the job bers, who are quite as keen politicians as the people in the left Strand, take it that the policy is better in its results now than it is likely to be by and by. A curious scheme is talked about, and said even about to be advertised to-morrow, for the cooking-up Portuguese loan affairs. The outline, so well as it can be gathered f:om report, is something to the fol. lowing effect quarter of a year's dividend, that is 11 per cent., is to be declared and paid upon the run ning dividend. Stock is to be created and given in payment of all dividends in arrear. The Three and Four per Cent. Bonds are to be consolidated under one denomination of stock. Upon the gross amount of stock, and arrears of dividend converted into stock, if is proposed to pay dividends at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum for the Ist term of 4 years; 3 per cent. per annum for the 2d term of 4 years ; 4 per cent. per annum for the 3d term of 4 y ears; 5 per cent. per annum for the 4th term of 4 years ; and for 22 years next following at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. Upon this curious project it is unne cessary to offer any observations until it shall appear, if really intended, in a more authorised shape. In noticing the fact of Mr. Easthope's withdrawal from the chairmanship of the South Western Railway Company, allusion was made to the " great number of joint-stock undertakings in which he is either director or chairman of the board." The fact is denied on the authority of friends of that gentleman, and it is as serted that exclusive of the South Western, he has not belonged, or does not, to more than three joint-stock companies. It may be fairly conceded that a man of business and activity as Mr. Easthope undoubtedly is, would not find the labours of three or even four direc- torships more than could and would be discharged with punctuality and efficiency. The remarks were of course directed against the system, but too prevalent in the City, of the manifold accumulations of directorships in the same individual, the duties of all which it must be clearly impracticable for one person to perform at the same time, although the fees are regularly received as if the obligations of the offices were duly fulfilled. SUN.—The Foreign exchanges were better this after noon, and we trust will not again be subject to a re action. On Paris the rate for bills was 25f. 475 c. to 521 e., on Amsterdam 12 21, on Hamburgh 13 7} to 8, on Frankfort 1481 to h. and on Trieste 10 2. The English Securities were not so firm to-day. Consols brought 881 to 89 for Money and Account, just before business closed this afternoon. There were more sellers than buyers at these quotations. Exche quer Bills brought par to 2s. premium, India Bonds I Is. to 14s. discount, Bank Stock 159 to 100, and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 284 to 5. The Foreign Securities all went up again to-day, if we except Spanish Active Bonds, which were heavy at 215 to 315. Portuguese New Five per Cents. ad vanced from 34 to 341 ; the Three per Cents., from 225 to 221; Colombian Bonds of 1824, from 245 to 25 ; Mexican Five per Cents., from 28i to 29, though the latest bargain was at 28 ; Chilian, at 55 to 56, being a rise of 3to 4 per cent. ; and Peruvian, at 15 to 141 ; French Five per Cents. ranged from 109 f. 50c. to 110 f. 25c. ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. from 515 to 51-5. The Account prices of nearly all the Stocks were rather higher than those for Money. The Railway Shares were not quite so firm to-day, but the sales were only to a limited extent. For the Great Western the quotation was 185 ; for the New, 7 to 7:1 ; for the Fifth Shares 41 to 34 premium ; and for the South Western 131 premium. The Brighton Shares were at 121 to 124 ; the Greenwich at 135 to 133, ; the Croydon at 24; the North Midland New at 3 ; the Birmingham and Gloucester at 211 ; and the Bristol and Exeter at 2.5 dis. Provincial Bank of Ire land Shares were at 19 prem.

(From the Morning Advertiser.) It will be seen from the brief report which we give in another column of the proceedings yesterday in the Consistorial Court, that the case o Mr. John Thoro good was again brought forward. The result was just what might have been expected. The Church exhibits no symptoms of a disposition to relent, but seems re solved to persecute the poor unfortunate man unto the death. Just see the aspect in which the Church ap pears in this matter. When the report of the Re gistrar of the Court was read, " Her Majesty's Advo cate for the Churchwardens of Chelmsford contended that before the Court could release the party from impri sonment, the costs must be paid. This could not be superseded." The Court, as the lawyers say, ruled to the same effect ; and therefore the Church-rate victim has nothing before him but the prospect of perpetual impri sonment. With the Court we have no quarrel. On the legality or otherwise of the decisie , , we do not pre tend to be qualified to form an opinion. But what shall we say of the Church ? Has she no bowels of compas sion at all ? Is her thirst for vengeance on those who dare to di!pute her authority or resist her mandates never to he satiated? Will she be satisfied with no thing short of the life of her victim ? We regret, on ac count of the unfortunate individual himself, that he should be subjected to this living martyrdom ; but, in that solitary dungeon in Chelmsford Gaol to which the Church has consigned him, he is doing more for the cause of Christian liberty than could be effected in many years by the combined efforts of the Dissenters. The living martyrdom of Mr. Thorogood is a species of logic which all can understand : though silent, it is resistless—a discovery which the Church will make ere long, though not, perhaps, until it is too late. We beseech the friends of civil and religious liberty, by whatever name they are called, or to whatever class they belong, to bestow their special attention on the position in which John Thorogood is placed. He is sentenced to imprisonment for life, unless he violates the dictates of his conscience to gratify the caprice of the Church. She demands five shillings and sixpence in the name of rate : he refuses to pay the amount solely from conscientious scruples ; and she forthwith throws him into prison, and subjects him to costs to the extent of more than 801. for the proceedings which she takes in wreaking her vengeance upon him. In the dungeon to which, in her tender mercies, she consigned this unfortunate man nearly two years ago, he has re mained up till this moment ; and, therefore, as already remarked, she seems resolved to retain him until he is released from her cruel clutches by the hand of death. And all this not only occurs in a Christian land, but at the instance of a body of men who represent themselves as the ministers of Him whose religion is essentially a religion of mildness and mercy. Happy c i is a i s t e f s o John ith hi c e, o r o;ngdot thehocal t t c h soh a n t eti t en he p cannot noo o f t we the • il r of the u pursue esehni t C mv, l o u r‘r. r il e td l i her vengeance one injustice to the clergy, or toCould t e n i y r churchwardens It:Lends n 4ll inj assuming that they would, if they could, follow John Thorogood in the spirit of persecution in the worid to come ? To owe the Church five shillings and sixpence is in effect to place a man in a worse position than if he were to commit felony, highway robbery, or any of the other more aggravated crimes against the property or persons of society. A limited imprisonment in this country, or transportation to another land, for a specified period, will meet the demand s of law and justice in such cases ; but he who has the hardihood to question the authority of the Church, or refuses to recognise her claims—though the claim may only be a few shillings—does so with the 'From the Courier.) Elsewhere will be found the copy Of a despatch from Lord Palmerston to Earl Granville at Paris, dated November 2, and professing to be in answer to one of M. Thiers, communicated to his Lordship by M. Guizot on the 10th of October, or nearly a month pre viously. We are indebted for this document to the Foreign Office itself through the Morning Chronicle this time, to which it has been circuitously transmitted through Paris, as on a former occasion his Lord ship's Memorandum was published to the world through the medium of a Brussels Paper. A careful perusal of this State Paper does not certainly justify the ex pectations which might be raised from the uncom mon length of time consumed in its gestation. We have no hesitation, on the contrary, in denouncing it as for the most part a piece of very contemptible casuistry—of special pleading indeed, not transparent only, but replete with puerile absurdities which will im pose upon nobody, either on this or the other side of the water. That we do not pronounce this condemnation in the absence of cause, we will cite one or two passages more prominently in evidence of it. Thus, after two paragraphs of empty compliment and reference to dates, Lord Palmerston proceeds with the followiug statement M. Thiers says that France, in accept ing with a religious fidelity the state of Europe, such as it resulted from treaties (by which it is presumed are meant the treaties of 1815) has understood that the state should not be changed, either for the benefit or to the detriment of any existing Power. In this under standing her Majesty's Government entirely agrees ; and her Majesty's Government conceives that an ar rangement which has for its object to prevent Egypt and Syria from being severed from the Turkish empire is in strict conformity with this understanding, and in accordance both with its letter and with its spirit." Here we have the silly affectation of misunderstanding the plain sense of the note of M. Thiers, and of pro ceeding to reason upon the wilful perversion as if the premises assumed were of admitted correctness. (From the Standard.) We cannot but believe that much of the success which has attended the recent noble efforts of the King of the French to save Europe from the curse of a general war, is owing to the dignified and for bearing spirit which has been displayed almost with out an exception, during the last few months, by the newspaper press of Great Britain. Notwithstanding the violent and insulting menaces and denunciations indulged in by the Thiers press whenever it found occasion to refer to England, British journals of all parties refrained from replying in the style which its insolence was calculated to provoke ; wisely agreeing that abettors of such writers were only to be found among the vilest and most depraved classes of the French people, and that it was neither just nor politic to visit the ill-mannered abuse and lying gas conade of such canaille on a nation with which we had been so long on terms of amity and good feeling. It is only the man whose courage is beyond suspicion that can afford to display a greater degree of forbearance in resenting an injury than his neighbours. Beside, Englishmen are well aware that big words and empty boasting are not the concomitants of dig nity and courage, and they accordingly refrained from reciprocating them. They went even beyond this exhibition of good taste. Looking upon the influence exercised by M. Thiers over the Parisian Press, they ascribed to him, and to him solely, the wild and frantic Anglophobia with which the French Press had been innoculated, and treated it as a disease which, if its rabidness were not exaggerated by pra vocation, would in due time cure itself. Had they adopted the natural and more obvious course of repelling insult by insult, the difficulties reserved for the King of the French and his prasent Cabinet would have been enormously increased. The forbear ance which has been displayed throughout this contest by the British Press has left nothing to retract, now that the result must have satisfied it how small a portion of the respectable classes in France participated in that violent abuse of England which formed for three months the staple topic of a large portion of the French journals. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 10. TALBOT V. THE EARL Or SHREWSBURY. This case came before the Court upon two petitions, one presented by Mr. Horace St. Paul, the next friend of the infant children of the late Hon. Mr. Talbot, and the other by Dr. Doyle, the executor and residuary legatee of that gentleman. The latter petitioner prayed the confirmation of the Master's Report, and the former that that Report might not be confirmed. Our readers, in consequence of the case having been so often before the Court, will not fail to recollect the circumstances. A bill had been filed by Dr. Doyle, as the executor and residuary legatee of the Hon. Mr. Talbot, for the purpos e of the administration of his estate ; and also with respect to the maintenance and education of his two infant children, John Talbot and Augusta Talbot. Mr. Horace St. Paul, the next friend of the infants, also filed his bill for a similar purpose, and the question was which of those suits rras the proper one to be pro ceeded with, having regard to the interest of all parties. To determine this question, a reference wss directed to the Mister, who had reported in favour of the suit, instituted by Dr. Doyle and against that filed by Mr. St. Paul. His Honour the VICE-CaANCELLOR, after hearing Counsel at considerable lengtb, decided in favour of the Master's Report. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 10. STEW ART v. CLUMP. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 354, to which the defence was, that the plaintiff got possession of the bill under pretence of getting it discounted, and that the action was brought for fraud and violation of fl ood faith. The verdict was for the defendant. Mr. Knowles obtained a rule nisi to set aside the verdict. After Counsel on both sides had been heard, The COURT decided that this was not a per rse verdict. There could be no doubt that the Jury dis believed the evidence. However, the case was one of some difficulty, and justice might be done by a re•hear lug ; but a new trial should be g ranted, only upon the plaintiff's paying costs. lIUGIIES V. HANNAN. The plaintiff having purchased at an auction th e ' lease of the King's Head public-house, in Oxford-street, paid into the hands of the defendant, a brewer, the sum of 5361. as deposit, and auction duty, receiving from Hannan an acknowledgment of the receipt, on account of Higgins, the holder of the lease. Hannan subse quently paid over 1401. to Walters and Levigny, she auctioneers, and the remainder to Higgins. But the title of jthe latter not being made out, the sale went off, and the plaintiff, on applying to defendant for his money, was told it had been paid over to Higgins. The plaintiff having given no authority for that payment, brought this action, to compel Hannan to reimburse him, and obtained a verdict. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS moved for a rule (on a bill of exceptions), which the Court refused, on the ground that there appeared to be a good case to go to the jury, and they had found rightly for the plaintiff. HERNIMAN V. SHATTOCK. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS moved for a rule to stay execution which the plaintiff was about to enforce, upon a warrant of attorney, which was given to him on con. dition that he should pay two bills of exchange when due. These bills were now due, and the plaintiff not ADULTERATION OF DRUGS. The following are some of the curious reasons urged by a druggist, in a letter to Mr. Warburton, M.P., on the utility of extending the provisions of his Bill to chemists and druggists, and on the necessity of extin guishing quackery by Act of Parliament. It would appear from this writer that almost every necessary of life, and every species of medicine, are adulterated to an enormous extent. " Many drugs," he says, " arc imported in an adulterated, damaged, and unuseable state ; some are also damaged on the ♦oyage by sea water, and, by leakage and admixture of other things, but they all find a ready sale in the market ; for, in the drug trade especially, every. thing is turned to some purpose or other. Strange as it appears, our paternal Government, as if determined to promote the wishes of the dishonest and rapacious, offer, or did offer, a bounty in the way of a remission of duty (called abatement) on damaged drugs! The sales for drugs generally take place every fortnight, the goods being open for inspection a day or two previously. In the catalogues of these sales you find oftentimes here and there a quarter or a half, sometimes a whole column, devoted to the lotting of bad articles ; some described as damaged, others as sea damaged, &c., the list gene rally ending with sweepings ! And all this takes place without the slightest attempt at concealment ; so far the fact is open to the knowledge of all the world ; and it is found, that, partly from the abatement of duty, and partly from the low price at which they are sold, the damaged goods sell much quicker than the sound. In sending drugs to be ground at the drug mills, the worst are not perhaps on all occasions selected, but it is often the case that they are. As to horse powders, a pro portion of seven, fourteen, or twenty-eight pounds of i,he genuine drug to the hundred weight, is considered suffi cient, the remainder being old bean meal, damaged flour, or guiacum dust, furnished by the drug-grinder, and co loured to the requisite tint. The smaller and damaged jalap is ground, and at times from ten to forty per cent. of guiacum dust or barley meal added ; the latter article serves also to adulterate nuz vomica, hellebore, and other powders, mixed in various proportions. The Russia is adulterated with India rhubarb in the state of powder ; and the India, which is worth eight or ten shillings the pound, is frequently mixed in various proportions, from ten to eighty per cent., with English rhubarb, of four pence or sixpence the pound. Senna stalks are ground instead of the leaves fur Alexandria senna, a portion of the East Indian kind being added, or colour. Colocynth seeds, which are nearly inert, are added to the fruit, for the purpose of cheapening the powder for sale. The inferior kinds of myrrh, although generally adulterated when imported, often receive in addition, when sent to be ground, small gum arabic of a lighter col o u r , to im prove the colour of the powder. The genuine West India cayenne pepper is now made in London, and, if it contained nothing but the ground berry of the piper indica, selected of a good colour, we could desire no better. But coloured s L w dust, salt, vermilion, and other ingredients are added. Peruvian bark of the finer kinds is rarely ground into pow d er ; generally the coarse and small are selected be cause they will not sell so well, and it is generally the case also, that bark rhich has but little taste is to be met with in the market, all of which in an extraordinary quick time disappears ; a great part of this is ground into powder, and sold at inferior prices. This article confessedly is kept in a state of powder, like rhubarb, jalap, senna, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, myrrh, aloes, and other articles of different qualities, to suit the wants and tne prices of all classes of buyers. Squills are adul terated with starch-powder to make the powder of a lighter colour. Ipecacuanha is adulterated in the same way. Gum arabic powder is frequently to be found mixed with starch and arrow-root ; and India gum is generally sold for Turkey in this state, although the fraud is easily detected. Gum arabic is added to gum tragacanth to whiten the powder. Ginger is often adul terated with flour and meal, flavoured with capsicums to give it the requisite warmth. Mustard seed to the amount of one-sixth only, and in many kinds not nearly so much as that, enters into the composition of the best Durham mustard, which is Dur ham only in name ; the rest being composition of some kind, coloured with turmeric, and spiced with capsicums. Snuffs are notoriously adultered with sal ammoniac, pearl ashes, orris powder, dried peat, and other things. Black pepper is mixed with starch powder and English arrow-root, to make white pepper ; alum powder with salt, and cream of tartar with alum powder. Coffee is mixed with the burnt root of the dandelion, known as chicory, which, from Wing ground at the drug mills, is itself liable to adulteration. But we are civilly told this is the French mode, and of course the coffee is much improved by its admixture. Chocolate and cocoa arc mixed with ground sago, often itself unfit for sale in any other state. The subject of culinary adulterations, however, it is not my intention to pursue here ; although it is a part of that " present state of things" which no thing but a thoroughly organized system of medical po lice can effectually put down. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of November 10.) SUGAR.—Since Tuesday last the British Plantation Sugar market has been in a dull state, both grocers and re finers have purchased with much caution, taking barely suf ficient to supply their immediate wants; importers have dis • .played less firmness, and have submitted to a reduction on previous rates of Is ; fine yellow description, of which the supply is small, cannot be quoted more than 63 cheaper; the sales for the three market days amount to only 950 hhds and trs ; Antigua and Jamaica, good and fine yellow at B•4s 6d to 87s, good mid 83s to 84s, strong grey Jamaica 81s 6d, middling yellow 82s; Demerara, low middling grey 795, middling yellow 81s to 82s ; and Dominica of a similar description at the same rate ; for low brown Berbice only 76s 64 has been offered ; some holders are not disposed to force sales, and keep their samples out of the market, the stock being much less than it was last year at this time, and the trade scantily supplied all throughout the country. Tc-day there was no life in the West India market, but the merchants 'submitting to a further reduction of 64 per cwt, led to the disposal of a larger quantity than has been the ease for several days, the purchases, including the auctions, amounting to 450 hhds and tierces ; the principal put was taken by the grocers, tho refiners buying v ery sparingly. At public sale 123 birds Barbadoes and 133 hhds 33 brls St. Lucia were offered, the former was all disposed of, but at 61, and in some cases is under the rates of the last auction, v . z. middling yellow 83a 6d, good middling 84s to 84s 6d, good 85s, and fine 85s 61; the latter chiefly found buyers at and after the sale, but at a reduc tion of 6d to Is, low middling yellow 80a to 81s, good middling 80s to 82i 6d, fine 84, 6d per cwt. The Gazette Average Price is now 57s 101 d, in 1839 it was 37s 1: 1 ,d, and in 1838 31s IFI. REFINED. - To - day the market was in a dull state for Refined Goods, and lower prices were accepted. Stand ard Lumps selling at 99s to 100 s, brown lumps 93s to 985, Tittlers and Hambro Loaves 101 s to 104 s. For Treacle the demand was however good at 38s 6d to 45s 6d. Pieces and Bastards were not cheaper, but the demand was limited. Crushed Sugar sells slowly, but it is difficult to buy at 33s per cwt. afternoon the trade evinced little desire to purchase at a public sale of 4,296 bags, and prices gave way is excepting for fine yellow sorts, which maintained former rates; middling brown went at 74s 6d, good and fine 77s to 79s 6d, low yellow 80s to 80s 6d, middling 81s to 82;, good and fine 833 to 85s 6d. EAST IrroiA.—For Bengal of white quality a good en quiry at previous rates. Manilla at 23s to 24s 6d for low and good yellow. Siam. at 25s to 28s 6d for low and fine white. For Java prices do not give way. FOREIGN.—There has been no public sale of any sort ; Brazil of brown quality has been in fair request privately, principally for refining under bond, and former rates have been supported, but white aorta have been taken sparingly, holders however will not submit to lower prices. Yellow Havannah is still held firmly, but the purchases have been limited, and confined to 700 boxes, good at 25s 6d, and low middling 23s 6d. For white previous rates are required, but there are yet few buyers, and only 500 boxes have been disposed of since we last wrote at 34s 6d for good strong quality, but with not much colour. The stock of Brazil is not above half of what it was last year at this time, but of Havannah it is double ; in the import of the for mer there is little difference as compared with that of 1839, but the latter shows an increase of nearly 26,000 boxes. Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Rum there has been a brisk demand since this day week, principally from the home trade, and prices have further improved Id for the better, and id for common sorts ; the former have been the most in request ; 250 puns Jamaica have been disposed of, 28 to 33 per cent over proof at 5s 11d to 6s 2d, 34 to 36 over 6s 3d to Gs sd, strong and choice marks 6s 9d to 7s 4d ; of Leewards 300 puns have been sold, proofs at 3s 2id to 3s 3d, 2 to 3 per cent over proof 3s 31d to 3s 4d, 5 to 18 over 3s 4i.el to 4s 4d. 22 to 33 over 4s 7d to 5s 4d, 36 to 40 over 55 61 to 6s 2d ; of superior kinds the supply is short; Government have advertised for 100,000 gallons for Thursday—not less than one-half is to be from the West India colonies. The arrivals of Rum during the past ten months have been 4,100 puns, &c. less than in 1839. but the deliveries for home use and export have fallen off this as compared with those of last year to the extent of 6,800 puncheons, &c. The stock of all sorts is 600 puns and hhds under that of last year at this period. Holders of Brandy have displayed firmness and a good demand has existed at the following rates : Cognac, first brands, of the vintage of 1836, in hhds at 55 3d, puns; 5s 1d,:1837, hhds 5s id, puns 4s 11 d, 1838, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d, 1839, puns and hhds 4s 6d to 4s 8d per gallon: the stock is decreasing. In Geneva a fair business has been done for export at is lld to 2s, fine quality for home use is still fetching 2s 5d to 2s 6d ; some parcels of Ger man Gin have been sold at Is 7d. British Corn Spirits have been taken freely at lOs 2d cash. To-day the Rum mai ket presented a firm appearance, and a good demand existed; the better sorts were the most in request; mid Jamaica was sold at 6s 6d to 6s Bd, good 6s 10d, and proof Leewards 3s 2d to 3s 3d per gallon. COFFEE.—For mid and low mid clean kinds of British Plantation the demand has been very limited since we last wrote, and the principal part offered consisting of those sorts, holders have been compelled to submit to a reduction on former rates of 2s ; the finest sorts, however, have been in steady request, and have fetched full prices ; ord and fine ord kinds have maintained previous quotations, but they have been taken sparingly by the grocers ; for unclean sorts scarcely any demand has existed, although they were offered on much lower terms. This afternoon the home consumption Coffee market presented a quiet aspect. There was little business doing privately in East or West India; the only public sale was that of 1.400 bags Bahia from the Cape; the whole was taken in is to 2s above what the trade were disposed to pay—viz., ordinary mixed with blacks at 43s to 455, good ordinary mixed pale 45s 6d, fine 46s 6d to 47s per cwt. TEA.—Since we last wrote the market for Free Trade has presented a tranquil appearance. To-day the public sales consisting of 28,000 packages attracted a large muster of the trade, but in consequence of the non-arrival of the Overland mail they evinced little desire to do business, and the biddings were languid; orr the other hand the merchants from the same cause were for the most part not disposed to sell, and allowed only three thousand packages to pass the chair, after which the sales were postponed until news is received from China. Of the foregoing quantity 1,800 packages were sold at former rates for Twankay and Congou, but Pouchong went Osd higher ; Congou, good middling rather coarse Flung Muey kind but dull leaf at 2s 3id to 2s 4d, Pouchong 2s 3d to 24 6 5 d, Twankay, but middling coarse glazed leaf 2s Gunpowder, middling coarse Twankay flavour 3s ld to 3s flyson, middling 23 61el to 2a 7d per lb. This afternoon there was little business doing in any description of Free Trade Tea but holders were firm, and common Congou for cash was not to be had under 29 31-d. In Company's there was little passing, but on 'Change it was impossible to buy under 2s 3,ial cash. RICE. —Good and fine white descriptions of Bengal have been in good demand at 13s to 14s 6d, but the com mon sorts must be quoted rather cheaper at public sale, 1,300 bags sold at 12s to 12s 6d for middling, and good middling white Java is held for previous rates, but there has been little passing ; small parcels privately, however, have been sold at lOs Gd to 123 for middling and good ; 103 6d to 12s for middling and good bold white; ordinary was taken in at 9s Gd. 300 barrels 60 bags Para fetched 12s 6d to 153 per cwt for low and middling quality Carolina at 34s to 34s 6d. SPICES.—There has been little business done privately in Pimento, but former rates have been supported ; at auc tion, however, 50 bags middling shipping quality fetched 3d; the stock is 2,400 bags less than last year. For Su matra Pepper there continues to be a fair demand privately and prices are firm. Malabar is not cheaper. Ginger held firmly. This afternoon Cassia Lignea is in good request; 300 chests at auction sold rather higher, mid fetched •3s 6d to 84s 6d, ord coarse 80s per cwt. Faoir.—There has been a much better demand for Valen cia Raisins, fine parcels are the most warted; a large portion of the arrivals consists of tender Fruit, price still at 42s ; for Currants there is rather more demand, hut the arrivals are considerable : new Figs and Sultana Raisins have been taken freely at the prices named last Tuesday ; there arc further arrivals reported ; new Muscatel Raisins also have been in fair demand, as well as fine new French Fruit. 106 butts 28 caroteels da maged Patras Currants, 13 butts 10 carotecls Zante do, 700 drums Turkey Figs, 61 brls black Smyrna Raisins, 72 half 360 quarter, 219 one eighth cartoons Im perial French Plums were offered at auction, Patras Cur rants sold at 69; to 745, Zante, 70s ; damaged Figs 60s ; Smyrna Raisins, withdrawn ; Plums sold, half cartoons at 61., qr-do. Si. 12s to 71., one. eighth 71. 10s. Oms. —The transactions in Southern and Cod Oil have been limited since we last wrote both for home use and export, the former has maintained previous rates, hut the latter is cheaper, sales having been made at 28/ 10; per tuu. For Scal prices are firm. Pale at 311 to 31155. Yellow 271 to 201 108 and Brown 261 to 261 105. Com mon kinds of Southern at 231 to 231 10,i. Sperm has been taken sparingly, but holders are not disposed to submit to lower prices. Linseed Oil on the spot, sales at 275, and for delivery at 27s 6d to 28s. Rape pale at 395, and brown 38s. Palm is procurable on lower terms ; at auction 133 tons were all bought in at 36/, quality fine. Olive has been in good request, Spanish in particular, al though no advance can be quoted, still prices have an up ward tendenev ; Spanish at 561 to 57/ ; Gallipoli, 651. ; in Spain the article is worth 551 per tun. E. I. Cocoa Nut on easier terms. This afternoon 130 tuns Southern Whale at auction principally sold at 2'2/ 15s to 241 lOs for low to fine quality. MOLASSKS.-This afternoon 251 purls of West India were offered at auction and all t aken in ; Cariacou ordi nary at 35s 6d to 365; St. Lucia 37s per cwt. TALLOW. —Although importers of Russian Tallow have submitted to a further reduction on the spot of 2s 6d to 3s, still the trade have evinced little desire to do business. Pctersburgh Yellow Candle at 47s 6d per cwt. For delivery next month the price has declined to 47b; for spring months there are ready sellers at 48s 6d.
