Although the cousuption is very ,arge, yet prices rule high in comparison with those that exist for Raw Sugar, and the refiners are making preparations to produce an increased quantity. The operations in Bastards have been upon a small scale only, and there is more desire to sell, as the stock is accumulating. Pieces have been in excellent request. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with less attention for ex port, and there are sellers upon reduced terms ; only a moderate business has been transacted for immediate or forward delivery ; prices are, however, encouraging to the refiners, and, in consequence, they are producing an increased quantity. In Treacle several purchases have been made. Wet Lumps moved off slowly. Dutch Crushed Sugar has been only in moderate demand. Belgian is little wanted. For Loaves made free under bond the export demand is not quite so good, but the su pply being small of all sorts we have very little varia tion to notice in the value. Maumee - ea.—Merchants continue to be ready sellers, as the arrivals: are not all in for the season, whilst there is a heavy stock here, much exceeding that of last year up to this time. There are sellers by private treaty of all sorts, and at prices rather under those that existed previously, but grocers and refiners have Operated with caution. EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal Sugar have been anxious sellers, and having abundantly supplied the market, produced a decline on previous rates of is per cwt ; the demand, however, has been good, and the whole offered at public .ale, amounting to 4.193 bags, found buyers. Of Sugar there is a large stock here. FOREIGN.--Since our last report holders of Foreign Sugar have been eager sellers, and abundantly supplied the market. Although they submitted to a reduction on former rates of Is percea, still only a limited demand has been experienced from the home trade, whilst ex porters and our refiners working under bond bare operated with reluctance. The quantity brought for ward has been greater than for some time, and exceeded the wants of all parties. At auction 953 bags of China were sold. COFFEE.—Of West India none has been submitted to public competition since our last report, but privately there are sellers of all descriptions at a further decline in prices; the home trade, however, operated with re luctance, whilst the stock is accumulating, and West India is still dearer than any other kind of Coffee. Plan tation Ceylon is offered rather under previous rates; still the home trade have operated with caution in all sorts by private treaty, and the pa,cels offered at auction amount ing to 2.000 bags were only in part sold. Ceylon is cheaper than any other kind of Coffee, and the con sumption is in consequence by far the greatest. Mocha is little wanted, and prices tend downwards. None has been oti, red at auction, whilst by private treaty only small parcels have been sold. TEA.—Prices have not improved for black Tea, es there is yet a large supply, but the demand is on the increase. Iu green many purchases have been made, but there is a heavy stock, and ready sellers at former low quotations : the common and middling sorts are the most pressed for sale. There has beenli p a r l i e ee d s e a si r r e e . evinced to operate in Pskoe Teas, low as None has been pffered at auction since our laq report,, whilst, during that time 15,000 pkgs h ave arr i ve d , and . duty was paid on 460,460 lb. • - RICE.— To-day the market had a very dull appearance , fer alt kinds of Rice, and there were sellers upotereduced terms. White Bengal of low to fine qttality can be ob tained at 21s. to 22s 6.1, and yellow 20s to 20s 6d pr cw*. SPIcEs.--To-day,. at F.dalic sale, 590 bags of Surat Pepper were sold at - rat I: er • lower •rates, clean black at 2fl to 24ki. fine ditto 22d to 211, and :sea damaged 2id to 2il per lb. . cOCUINEAL.—This afternoon there was a better de mand, and 59 bags of Honduras at public e:de wire sold at 4s 81 to 5§ Id fur ordinary to good silvers which is the full. value.. SPIRITS —lmporters of Jamaica Rum manifest.flehi neas; and insist upon previous-rates for all descriptions, but, the home and export demand has fallen off, and only a limited business has. been transacted since this day Week. Leeward. Islaud islreld for 3i 4 , 1 to 3s 5d proof strength, but, few parcels have.been sold,- and the stock is ieccuinulating.::: . ..Bast l i pdia has been operated in with caution.

The deliveries are ripproving; still for home consumption or exportation they do not come up to those of the prov,lous year, whilst quotations are higher-by Is 6tl to 2s .per gallon. Prices of all sort, are hlghly remunerating to the importers. That the importation will be greater this year than in the previous one, there is every appearance, and an impression exists that present price. cannot be sustained.. Holders of Brandy are unwitting to further reduce their prices although the stock is large, and arrivals being. near at hand, but exporters, as well as the home trade have operated with caution in all sorts. The home deliveries ere, however, still exceeding those of last year. Geneva is wanted fur exportation. For. British Corn Spirits the demand is very good at the late advanced rates of 1 Is 6d for English, nett cash ; Scotch and Irish Ils 5d to lls 6d. INDIGO.--The quarterly sale of East India was brought to a close this day. The quantity declared was 14,340 chests. For.some . time previous to the opening Of the sale the extreme distress prevailing both in this country and on the continent, caused .by the scarcity and extraordinary high prices Of food, and the consequent eerangement of the Money Market, threw such a . ; loom on commerce generally that all transactions were stopped except for the abso lute wants 'Of consumption. The prospects there ' fore for such a large sale were most gloomy, and it was evident, that to effect sales to. any extent a material decline must be submitted to. The attendance both of foreign and home buyers was unprecedentedly small, .. and although proprietors gave strong support try with drawing and buying in largely we do not remember so uneven and flat a sale: during the first three days prices Were Most irregular, and varied from 4d to 6d disconnt on the February sale for 13,..mga15, and 3d to 5d for Madras and Kurpahs, but siecethen buyers appeared to have mere confidence, and the sale proceeded with a . betterfeeling at, in some instances, a slight improvem en t in prices; this was psr:.icularly the case for the small quantity of good -and fine shipping qualities left in the catalogue,.the bulk of those sorts having been withdrawn. The proportion of Madras was large, and th.. assortment rath_r better in ittalitY than usuol; the demand, however, appeared liMited to the ordinary and low sorts at and under 2s 3d, and . for a few lots of very fine quality; the remainder was neglected, and chiefly bought in or withdrawn. Korpahs sold heavily at an average dis- Count of 3d to 4d, except for a small proportion of fine quality, Which' realiied very high_ prices. Of the glint.- tity put up 7,019 chests were withdrawn and 1,786 bought in, leaving 5,547 actually sold, of which about 1,000 arc supposed to be for home consumption, and the remainder for export or resale. TIIpESZTINE.—Ecitikh is little wanted, and there are sellers at lls 6d per cwt, although there is but a mode rate stbek here. . Spirits are offered- at a further reduc tion, still few buyers are to be met wish. Of American there are further arrivals. Tar is less wanted and easier to buy. • . Uns. —With S;mthern Oil of all qualities the market continues to be largtily supplied, and merchants having Ibeen - willing sellers, prices suffered a further depression of ttOs per tun; nevertheless, the home demand has been good, and exporters have taken a fair quantity. At puhlit sale 70 tuns all fo un d buyers. Th'e arrivals con tinue on the increase, and will keep so for some time. Seal of all kinds has been operated in With caution ; although • there are sellers at a further reduction in the value. Sperm is not much wanted ; whilst the supply is good, and a further fall in the value ensued. The stock of Fish Oils is much larger than it was a month back, and thero is every prospect of t”e importa tion this season being greater than it was in the pre vious one. Palm is not much wanted by exporters or the home trade, and prices are on the decline. By pri• vale treaty only a small quantity has been sold. Rape Seed Oil bas fallen in value, and the purchases made have been limited at 34s for brown, and at 35s for pale, whilst there is a plentiful supply. Cocoa Nut is little wanted by exporters or the home trade, but in conse quence of the scanty supply, prices keep high, fair and tine quality in small parcels fetching 48s to 50s. There are hoWever arrivals near at hand, and lower rates may be expected to prevail shortly. Lard Oil is in fair demand at 44s to 48s. The business transacted in Olive' has been trifling by exporters and the home trade ; whilst merchants are willing sellers, and the stock is on th e increase. _ Linseed Oil has been- extensively dealt in by the home trade. Temolv.—The demand for Russian on the spot has been brisker, and as improvement in the value took place, nevertheless Soap-makers as well as Chandlers are not inclined to purchase more than their immediate wants require. For home a good demand exists ; but there is a desire to sell for forward delivery. Other kind of Tallow met with rather more attention, and have slightly improved in value. THE LONDON GAZIETTF. (THIS EVENING.) DOWNING- STREET, MAY 22, 1847. AWFUL EFFECTS OF A THUN- DERBOLT. At this early season of the year we hardly expect to hear of thunder, much less of any serious damage from its ffects, yet it has paid us some flying vi-its for the last week or two, and on Friday was atteneed with the most frightful results. On Friday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Humble, of Quarry-cottage, Idle, were with Mr. Ryland, of Bradford, sitting in their: dining roam, and were just remarking upon the distant thunder that had occurred a few minutes befize; when, in an instant, a crash appeared to be tearing down the side of the house, and smoke and flame filled the room. Mr. Ryland im mediately opened the door opposite the fire-place round which they had been seated, and, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Humble, reached, through tuccessive doors, the hall entrance, on the other side of the house. Hardly knowing how or what they had escaped, they hurried to the kitchen, which they found enveloped in sulphurous vapour, and strewed with ruins, but the servants, like themselves, most miraculously saved. On returning to the dining-room, their own escape seeme I perfectly in credible. They had been seated about the middle of the room's length; the lightning had penetrated at a lofty corner cupboard at one end; and, in its passage to the window opposite, had carried its upper door over them, and deposited it on the fluor between them and the window; the lower door was thrown against the fire place, chairs near the cupboard were thrown down, a piece of solid mahogany torn off one, and thrown to a distance; plaster torn front the cupboard sOle, and from the ceiling adjoining; the window (reaching to the ground) was bent outwards both in the upper and lower sash, and almost every pane blown far out to the lawn. The cupboard, whence the electric fluid had thus en tered the room, saes immediately behind Mr. R) land's chair; and its passage was, almost of necessity, full in the face of Mr. and Mrs. Humtic. How they escaped is a mystery indeed. As they stood at the window look ing at the wreck, yet still scarce able to breathe from the suffocating fumes, a most brilliant and perfect double rainbow spanning the lawn, had something in it like the promise of the first. • In the kitchen, the lightning had taken diagonally down a side-wall; then bursting out some yard of plaster just above the floor, seemed to have escaped directly across to the window, which was entirely smashed. Pre. cisely in its course was the younger servant, a child of twelve years old, cleaning the hearth-stone. In the same direction utensils of tin and copper were thrown to the window. Behind her, the crockery-frame fell from the wall; yet she, too, escaped, and that through the great fall of ruins which must simultaneously have taken place at the garden door, through which she ran. The elder servant, who had been standing by the window, escaped by another door into the yard. The escape, both in parlour and kitchen, was the more mar vellous, as they are neither of them of great dime isious IRELAND. FUNERAL OF THE LATE LORD-LIEUTENANT. DUBLIN, MAY 22.—Yesterday being the day appointed ror the removal of tbe•body of his late Excellency from the Castle to the family buryinglilace, at Besborough, county Kdkenny, immense numbers of the citizens eon gregated tege her in the streets through which the pro. pssion was to pass. At half-past two o'clock l ra.cisely the procession left the Castle chepel in the order pre 4cribed by Sir William Betham, Ulster King at Arms. The hearse was a light open vehicle, cenetructed for the , ccasion, surmounted by a canopy of black, and orna mented on the sides with armorial bearings. The horse were covered with mourning, clothes, to which were appended escutcheons bearing the arms' of the Poresonbe teraily. It was naturally an object at attraction, and so great was the crowd that pressed forward to view it, a body of policemen were stationed at the door of the ,tab!es to allow only a few persons in eta , Mutes were stationed at the grand and private entrances of the Chapel Royal. The first coffin was raised upon a trestle near the d00r.,. It was very massive. seven feet long, two feet in depth, and two and a halt eet wide, consisting of an inside shell, made . of cedar , vOA, lined with white satin, and ceshioned with a pillow of the same material. The seemed was a pen dereus leaden coffin, the whole each sed in ae solid mahogany case, covered with rich cri z esen velvet, the . edges studded with a treble row of very rich gilt 'laity, and the handles, side plates, and other mountings solid and massive gilt brass. The pulpit, communion table, reading desks, and the organ gallery, were hung with l?tele . At either side.of the coffin banners were suspended, upon which were painted the armorial bearings or the nouse•of Ponsonby, together with those of the illustrious trder of St. Patrick, of which the late Ea; was ex officio Grand Master. A few persons only were permitted to visit the Chapel Royal. A public and formal funeral procession should not interfere with, or obstruct the seclusion and sacredness of the domestic sorrow, and the Dean very properly restricted the admission to a few, lest the immediate family and relatives might be intruded upon in those moments of grief and meditatiot' ,which afford a mournful consolation to the afflicted heart, ere the remains of him whom they honoured arid revered were removed for ever from teeir eyes. The windowS in the different offices of the Castle were filled with spectators—and save upon the entry of the Vice roy into Dublin, when he came accompanied by all the pride, pomp, and circumstance of royal splendour—we have not seen such a concourse of persons in the streets, nor the windows of private houses and public buildings so densely crowded. Essex-bridge was almoet blocked up by carriages and passengers, and those who found it impossible to make way through the multitude in that locality, were obliged to go round by the Metal-bridge, or drive hastily upon cars down to Carlisle-bridg., in order to reach the procession from the north side of the river. The conduct of the populace was respectful and becoming; and we did not hear of any accident except the fall of a cavalry officer from his horse, in the Lower Castle-yard, and some trifling injuries sustained by a child near the Great Southern and Western Rail way, from coming in contact with a restive horse, but no serious damage was done in either case. At half past two o'clock the procession left the Castle. At this moment the guns from the Wellington Testimonial cem menced firing sixty-six rounds in minute time, the num ber corresponding with , the age of the late Viceroy. The fine-toned bell of the Ravel Hospital pealed forth its solemn knell at the same time. The course taken was through the Upper Castle-yard, down Cork hill, through Parliament-street, and from thence onwards to the railway. Amongst th,ase who lett their cards with the Chamberlain and joined the precession, were— . The Chief Justice, Baron Pennefather, the Master of the Rolls. the First arid Sencnoen)d, Sir ße Randolph membranc south, the Talbot, Sir Thomas WM-. the High Sheriff, the Hon. Major Southwell e Sir George Morris, Colonel Lewis, Morgan J. O'Connell, M.P., the President of the Queen's College of Belfast, Sir Thomas Usher, Master Litton, Dr. Kennedy, Sir John Power, the Hon. Mr. Plunket, Major Deane, Right Hon. Sir J. Kennedy, Hon. Patrick Plunket, the Dean of Armagh, Sir George Cockburn, Sir J. Dom brain, Major Cottingham, Rev. Dr. Wilson, Hon. St. John Butler, Si Nicholas Fitzsimon, Sir Thomas Es monde, Dr. Corrigan, Sir Robe rt K ane , L or d A rran, Colonel M'Gregor, Rev. Dr. Lloyd, Sir J. K. James, Bart., Lord Charlemont, Sir Henry Marsh, Sir Henry Meredyth, Sir Philip Crampton, Dr. Stokes, Sir Thomas Staples, Judge Keatinge, Sir Richard Lengrishe, Chief Justice of the Queen's . Bench, Justice Ball, Attorney- General, &c., &c. The streets were lined by the Royal Artillery, the 4th Light Dragoons, 13th Light Dragoons, the 17th Lancers, the 3d or buffs, the lath Light Infantry, the 2fith Came ronians, the 68th Light Infantry, and the depot of the 7th Fusileers. The bands of the 4th Light Dragoons, the 13th Light Dragoons, and the 17th Lancers a!tended at the CA,tle at two o'clock, and played the usual solemn sirs, which impart to such an occurrence as that of which we write, much of the moral and beneficial effect %, filch it is calculated to have upon the public mind. One of the best points of view from which the procession was witnessed was from the King's-bridge near the railway. The glittering arms of the infantry, the nodding plumes and brilliant lances of the cavalry, and the showy equi pages, forming a strong contrast to the melancholy sym bols and trappings of death as the precession moved slowly and solemnly on, presented features of mournful interest to the spectator, as he locked upon them from the peaceful placid river. The private carriages of his Excellency's faraily,which were conspicuous in the group, were the most elegant and most suited to the solemnity of the scene. The coachmen and footmen were dressed in deep mourning, and the absence of all ,appearsnce of ostentation and pomp in the equipments contributed greatly to render the ceremony impressive. We cannot omit referring to the very excellent manner in - Which the bands discharged their part of the fluty. The sacred music which they played, chiefly " The Deael.March in Saul" was well chosen and admirably . executed. When the funeral cortege arrived at theterminus of the Great Southern a n d W es t ern Railway, tke . baled of the 13th Regiment formed under the covered way, and continued to play the solemn air of " The Dead March in Saul," while the necessary preparations were being made for the transference of the coffin, &c., to the hearse intended for its reception, which was fixed upon one of the railway traffic carriages. The privat e carr i ages of the h ouse hold, as well as the mourning t At a qu arter b efore four, the spec i a l train was set in motion, and m ove d along to Carlow, where h or ses wer e stationed to convey, were also fixed upon similar machines. y h the Fiddown e funeralappliances burehyar i (. The direct ors o f t h e ra i lway were in attendance, most to their ulti mate destinati on , anxious i n every way to promote t h a t or der and deco rum befitti ng t h e solemn occasion—Sir D.

Guinness, Esq. ; as a lso the engineer-in chief - , Sir John Macneill. The new termin us in progress of erection, was ailed with pe rsons anxious to obtain a view of the proces4on, and-every f ac ili ty was afforded, through th e courtes y of the Messrs. Willi ams in erecting tempora ry platforms to accommodat e t h e public in this respect , so far as the limited space afforded. The cond uct o f the funeral re fl ec t e d much credi upon Mr. Willi ams—it was inevery way befitt in g occasion. The banners used on the occasion were most his late Excellency's Arms, &c. They were executed by Mr. Phillips and Mr. Clapperton, under the s uperintendence of Sir William Betham. hmore, OUTRAGES.

ROBBERY OF A MAIL (AR.—CAIIIRCIYEEN, MAY 17. —lt is to me a most painful task to have to acquaint you that the in-coming mail car to this town was robbed this morning, about one o'clock, at Bowler's-hill, about a mile to the west of Kells, by two armed men, and six bags of letters taken; and though the police and others are out in search of the robbers, I greatly fear they will not be traced. Unfortunately there were no passengers on the car, and the driver not being armed no resieance could be made.—Cork Examiner. STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—The accounts from the provinces this morning are feaeul beyond all former pre cedents. Fever is rapidly on the increase, and, it is to be fearer', will continue to increase with the advance of summer. _ _ _ ^ln the Kilkenny Union more paupers have died within the last three months than during the preceding five • years. In the parish of Ca,tletnain there have h.?en 420 deaths, of these upwards of 300 were caused by famine. In this locality there was a landlord clearance in the month of April, by which 128 individuals were rendered house less and homeless. In Ktlmain, county Cork, the mortality presents an increase of 300 per cent, over that of last year ; and here, too, the disease is to be seen at work every day. In Kilcreest, county Galway, there has been au in crease of 1,400 per cent. In Ardfort there have been 910 deaths, of which 416 were caused by famine. Instances such as the foregoing could be accumulated without number or end. One more will suffice for the present. In Crookhaven, Coik, the Southern Reporter says, the people in the neighbourhood have perished — are perishing still from sheer want of any kind of nu triment. There are deaths from pure starvation. A woman, whose father and family died of hunger, has prolonged her own miserable existence on dog's flesh. She has drunk dog's blood ! ! Merciful Providence ! why should these horrible expedients be slowed by Christian men? BANKRUPTS.

WINDSOR, MONDAY. EVENING.—IIER, MAJESTY'S birthday was celebrated in Windsor to-day by the ring ing of bells, the firing of cannon, ani a more than ordi nary consumption of " creature comforts." To write by the card, the morning was ushered in by joyous peals from the bells of St. John's Church, well seconded by those in the tower on the Castle walls called " Julius Caesar's Tower," and between them they continued ringing nearly the whole day. At noon the corpora ion ordnance thundered forth a royal salute in the Bache lor's-acre, answered by the royal guns on the Belvidere battery in the Great park. At five o'clock, P.M., the Mayor and Corporation, assisted by one of the borough Members (Colonel Reid). and a large party of the prin cipal inhabitants and neighbouring gentry, did ample justice to a splendid dinnersetbefure them by the artistes de cuisine of the White Hart Inn, after which mar t ‘ loyal toasts were given and heartily responded to. There were many other dinners in hononr of the day. As the evening set in all the inns and princ , pal shops were very evening illuminated. Company still continues to flock into Windsor, notwithstanding the state apart ments have ben closed, in order to prepare them for the reception of the illustrious and distinguished persons ex pected to visit her Majesty and the Prince Consort pending the races at Ascot; but the public generally, however they may be disappointed at not seeing the in. terior of the Castle, have had the unusual gratification of being allowed free admission to the private parterre and both terraces for the last three days, and the same pri vilege may also be enjoyed to-morrow. On Sunday afternoon the parterre was so crowded with well-dressed compsiiy that the band of the Ist Lite Guards were glad to retreat up the flight of steps leading to the °Astern terrace. To-morrow (Whit-Tuesday) is the natal day of the infant Princess Helena Augusta Victoria, now with tffe Court at Claremont, and it is possible, there fore, that the Court will remain at Claremont until the following day, instead of returning to Buckingham Palace, as stated. TUE LATE Loss Or ELEVEN LIVES AT SEA.—We lately quoted from the Inverness Courier an account of three seamen and a woman having arrived at Inverness, stating themselves to have been saved froni a ship burned at sea. The account given by, the parties was circum stantial enough; but, unfortunately for the credulity et our northern neighbours and the parties moat interested, it turns out to be a gross fabricati o n. The I nverness Journal says—" The parties are still inmates of the in &way ; but all the ingenuity with which they concocted their tale of buffering was not sufficient to shield their imposture from the suspicion of Mr. Macbean, our super intendent of police. He chanced to be in the country when they arrived in town; but, on hearing the nature. of their statements, he pronounced theta false, and com menced his inquiries. Tracing them from Beuly, he found that they bad regaled themselves with three half mutchkins of whisky at Bogroy Inn, very likely to pre pare them for their debut at Inverness. Mr. Macbean has since learned from his subordinate at Campbeltown that some time ago persons answering to the description of the impostors were crossed at Fort George ferry to Ross-shire. The Campbeltown officer is expected in town to-morrow, when be will confront them in order to their identification. We hope that this gross attempt to tamper with public sympathy will be punished with such a severity, as will really deter others from committing the like offences in future." THE LATE ' FIRE FEAR THE POST-OFFICE.—Last evening Mr. Wm. Payne, the City Coroner, and a jury , assembled at the Bell Inn, Noble-st ree t, f or t h e purpose : of inquiring into the circumstances connected' with the outbreak of the recent fire in Staining-lane, near the General Post-office. Ann Taylor, of -9, Staining lane, said that her house adjoined the one in which - the fire originated, and which belonged to Mr. Falshaw, a paper box manufacturer. On Friday night, about a quarter past eleven o'clock, her attention was directed to the premises by smoke issuing from the doorway. She immediately gave the alarm, and informed Goddard, the ward-beadle and engine keeper, of the outbreak. Police-constable White Henderson (City force) said that when the fire broke out there was nobody at home. Mr. Falshaw, however, came home about three next morning. He met him at the corner of Falcon-square, and said to him, "You were wanted three hours ago ; something has happened at your house." He inquired what it was, and witness replied " The place has been on fire." Mr. Fahhaw then said, " Why,l left no one there ; how can that be ?" Witness was unable to tell h-iw the fire began. John Scott, engineer at Watling street fire-station, said he was called to the premises at ten minutes past eleven o'clock. lie repaired imme diately to the place with a couple of engines, and he found the shop on fire, and the heat was Fo intense thAt he could not stand upright. The flames were then burning round the shop. Witness got on his knees, and Tv.i by that means enabled to pour buckets of water on the fire until the engines were set to work. After some farther evidence the inquiry was adjourned for a week. TESTIMONIAL TO THE EARL 01 HAREWOOD.— Upwards of 700 guineas have been subscribed by the gentlemen of the 13ramhana Mour Hunt, for the purpose of presenting to the Earl of Harewood, the present master of the hunt, an equestrian portrait of bis Lord ship. The subscription was recently origirated, and is expected to amount to 1,000 guineas.— Hull on A th :Tlc iz E .,..h i o To i :l n s:.— asen : rd : lhp A r l o a a na id tna th sai:l l fellow.,n2, W sw " i mother ahovel aenat I : ll ns a a a i s i n t.a f: to: forbade a b- nice h house . i hits drawing . 11 ;a r4 r: s B an a d ck s e li t i t i" e s i e can get any fun at all.* eullcay.ruptetthtebigirieraendwerideetutilrtl THE DISTILLERIES. The reduction of the duty on rum, consumed in Ire land, has put a stop to distillation at a much earlier pe riod this year than us :al. Trie North Mall .Distillery will discontiue distillation for the season after this week, and will be quickly followed by that of John-' street. All the Cotk dis.illeries will then have ceased working at an minimally early period of the year. The discontinuation of those distilleries will throw a con siderable number of poor men, all labourers, out of em ployment.' It will be bad tr:o fur the dairy farmers re siding near Cork, who were enabled to supply their cattle with grains and wash during the dearth of fodder this spring. It appears that the heavy stocks of whisky in the hands of the retailers, purchased some months since, when that article was expected to reach half a guinea Ver gaThn, and not yet disposed of, have tended ro cheek the demand at the distilleries; and rum behlg now sold at little more than the price of whisky. has also contributed to cause a stagnation in the trade,whicb it is not likely to recover for some consideri,bl. time. MAny apprehend that it hill be long before retailers get rid of their - stocks, the dram drinkers being more likely to give a preference_to rum than- their native whisky. )I' (3,lmm . ..the high price of barley must have consider :Wk. influence with the ektillers iu causing them to ,'ea..e working their concerns. IRISH LANDLORDISM. • The Kz7lienny j6urnul of this day stab's, on the authority of a correspondent, that the bailiffs of the Right Hon. W. F. Tighe were out on Tuesday, for the purpose of distraining tor . tent.. They commenced, it is said, at the side of Brandon Hill, determined to sweep the entireßber property before them; hut. happily, some of the tenants hold land front the excellent LordMount gtrre% and having had some presentiment of "Bob's visit," they dritVe. the cattle for seen-4y, into the pro perty of thi;i.nobleman. The same Correspondent speaks in high terms of piaiFe of the conduct of Lords Mountgarret and Clirden; the latter, who is a nqh , ?vv of Lord Morpett, has given employment to a great number of men for the last three years—distributed food. and clothes before—treated his tenants.with, the greatest indulgence, in this season of rimirie and of death, and no man under him need fear for his cosy'.

This day being the first of Trinity Term, the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and the Judges of several Courts, opened term with the usual ceremonials. At two o'clock the Lord Chancellor entered the Court of Chancery, and having talc.-n his seat on the Bei,ck, the following gentlemen having been previously sworn by Judge Perrin, in the Court of Qaeen's Bench, were called to the Bar :—Francis Evans, Esq., only son of Francis Evans, of Mallow, in the county of Cork, Eiq.; John Hickion, Esq., second son of John James Hickson, of Tralee, in the county of Kerry, Esq.; Juhn Hatch Synge, E3q., third son of John Synge, late of Glanmore, in the county of Wicklow, Esq., deceased ; Samuel M'Gouran, Esq., only son of R.

CORN EXCHANGE. Our arrivals this weea have been moderate, and as ade :sand from the. interior continues to increase our stock of bread stuffs is much reduced, and prices exhibit a . strong upward tendency. This day's market was well attended, and holders commenced by demanding higher prices than were actually realised. We note, however, an advance in wheat of 25., oats Is., and barley Is. 61. since last Friday; while for Indian- corn 6s. to Bs. more money was paid. Corn meal is fully 3s. dearer, peas 25., and beans about Is. The sale of flour is improved, sacks and barrels being 2s. and 3d. reinctively higher. Oat meal without change. Coarse flour meets inquiry. Starch extremely scarce, and high rates demanded. RECENT DiSCOVERIES IN AUSTRALIA. In our last we reported the return of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governer and suite from a voya 4 e to the head of Spencer's Gulf We are now enabled to give some particulars of an examination of the various harbours in that gulf which have hitherto been only partially known to the public, and the discovery, if we may so call it, of a new harbour situated close to Mount Remarkable, in which the largest ships can lord and discharge in perfect secu rity. Atter a careful examination of Port Germain in lat. 33 3, it was ascertained that that• harbour is not only very difficult of access but is not available for shipping drawing more than 12 feet water. Port Ferguson, also, did not appear to be available for large ships ; but it was found . that that portion of the gulf immediately north of Point Lowly, lat. 32, long. 57, extending to the latitude of Mount Remarkable, 32 43, contains a fine harbour with a depth of from four to seven fathoms. It is sheltered on the south by.a sand bank, which runs from the point (not named) opposite Point Lowly, and close to the latter point there la a chinnel of seven fathoms leading into the harbour, to which therefore there is an easy ac cess. On the west side of the Gulf, near Point Lowly, the depth of this harbour is seven fathoms, and it shoals gradually towards a sandy beach on the eastern side, distant fifteen miles from Mount Remarkable. At one mile and a half from the shore, there is an excellent well-protected anchorage in four fathoms water. The land close by the Gulf at this part was traversed by .Mr. Lyre in 1839. From his report we should consider it a country favourable for land carriage. On the Mount Remarkable range the prevailing rock is a very hard white sandstone; on the west coast a coarse red sandstone prevails. The Governor was of opinion, from the nature of the country, that the range of mountains, as fir as Mount Arden, abounds in minerals.— From the South Austra lian, Dec. 8.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 24. POLICY OF INSURANCE ON A SHIP.-BOYD V. THE ROYAL EXCHANGE INSURANCE COMPANY. This partly heard case was resumed this afternoon; and the remainder of the depositions taken in the colony and at the trial having b?en read, Sir FREDERICK THESIGER (who with the ATTORNEY GENERAL appeared for the defendants) proceeded to show cense against a rule which had bet n obtained by his Learned Friend Mr. Sergeant Shee, which called upon the defendants to show cause why the verdict which they had obtained should not be set aside anl a new trial had, on the ground of the re jection of evidence, misdirection by the Learned Judge, and that the verdict was contrary to the evidence ad du, ed at the trial. Ile said the action was brought upon a time policy upon a ship called the Seahorse, Atom the 28th February, 1843, to the 27th of August in the same year. It was a value policy upon the ship for 11.2501., and upon the machinery, which was valued at the same amount, making a total of 22,50001. The pleas were—in the first place, the payment of 1,250/. into Court, and 251. per cent. upon the value of the ship, pleading, at the same time, that as to the residue the plaintiffs ha I broken their covenant ; 5.6251. was paid by the under writers, and the whole amount paid upon the policy was 8,437/ ; but the plaintiff contended that there had been a total loss of the ship, and that he was entitled to re ceive the whole amount for which the ship was in sured. The vessel was a trader between Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales. On the 6th of June, 1843, being within the period mentioned in the policy. She was proceeding on a voyage from Launces ton, in Van Diemen's Land, to Sidney, in Now South Wales. She had proceeded down the river Temur as tar as George-town, where she came to anchor. She soon after weighed anchor, but had not pro ceeded far down the river when an ebb tide took her, cast her upon shore, and threw her upon her starboard "bilge," by which she was consider ably strained ; but when the tide flowed, and as there had-been fine weather during the whole time she was aground, she was got off without any assistance—with out even removing her deck load. After some trifling repairs to her machinery, and after some oakum had been put into the seams which had started, she sailed on the 9:11 of June from George. town to Sidney, where she arrived after a voyage of three days, or three days and a half, the ordinary passage being completed in three days; but she took in coals on her way, and, consequently, s' delay took place. On her arrival at Sidney on the 13th. of June, there was a protest made; and on the 15th of, June a survey was made, which was not, however, at tended by the captain, by the mate, carpenter, or ' engineer of the vessel, and upon that survey the owners determined upon abandoning the vessel the next day—namely, the 16th of June, and a letter to that effect WU3 transmitted by him to the under writers, and claiming the full amount of the pace. The protest was extended to the 28th of June, to that this was due twelve days before the expiration of . that period. After the survey, the vessel remained in the possession of Mr. Boyd fur two years, during which time he entertained a number of his friends on board; but no means were taken to ascertain the real nature of the injuries she had received. Under these circumstances the plaintiff came before a jury, chiming the value of the policy as for a total toss; but the jury, after hearing the case of the plaintiff (no witnesses were examined on the part .of the defendant). and the case lasted . the greater part of two days, found a verdict for the defendants, on the ground that there was not a total loss, and • that the plaintiff .could not recover the whole amouut of the policy. • 1-li3 learned Friend contended that the evidence rejected consisted in the 10th and 11th interrogatories, and that :their admission was most important ; but it appeared that he adopted the 11th for the 10th by mistake, which was to this effect—Was it practicable to heave down the bottom of the vessel at y dney, in order, to ascertain whether she was in a fit state to proceed on her voyage ? He admitted that this interrogatory was rejected, but it w , ,s re,jectedbecause it was not asked from a person who could treat it in a scientific: manner, and because it wds an in. portaut question, on which it was the province of the jury to decide, and that their minds ought not to lave then biased by having it answered. The Learnei Gen tlernan: here quoted a number of cases .to show that this . view had in.en - taken by the. Courts with reference to que:tions of this kind. Then with respect to the allegtd misdirection of the Learned Jinlge (L o rd I) eh h ) , h ) w h o tried the ca,e. Here i , is Learned Friend had fallen into an:extraordinary error as to the proposition which ha (Sir:Frederick Thesiger) was alleged to have maintain , (I, anti which his ,Lordship was supposed to .bas e adopted. That where,a person abandoned a vessel hastily, after injury to it, anti without examination, and brou;4lt, his action, and showed upon the trial that. the vessel was in such a state, or that the eircumstances of the place were such that she could not be repaired, except at an tx• pence which would have exceeded her value, that the assured was not entitled to recover in co nseqncnce having abandoned her hastily. The-short hand writer's notes would show that he did not make the proposition in this way, and that his Lordship did not adopt it. What be said was this—that those cases of censtructhe total loss upon the value of policies were eases wh.ch required to be strictly and narrowly watched—that where the parties had the opportunity of ascer taiiiing the real nature of the injury the vessel had sustained, that it was their bounden, duty to adopt those means to ascertain the nature of those injuries ; and that they had t.o right to speculate in the matter, and to come before the jury with a speculative case. These were the words he used, and the whole- burden of his argument was, that it was the duty of the plaintiff to use every means in his power to inform the jury of the real nature or the injuries ; and that in - this case, that nothing had been dune by him, and that the case he presented to the jury rested merely upon speculation ; and th,t the ves• sel, at the moment the trial was proceeding, might have been perfectly sea-worthy. This wai a fair and proper way to put the case, because it was the duty of the pl4in tiff to show this to the satisfaction of the jury, and he con ceived that their Lordships would be of the same opinion. Then with respect to the other point--that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. Let their Lordships hear in wind that the wh,.le of the evidence on which the jury decided was adduced by the plaintiff, and that the jury was a .I),!cial one, and there was no hurry, no cursory view taken of the case by which the jury might possibly have been misled. -Their Lordships knew how d►fficult it was for underwriters to obtain a verdict, and they must also see how strong a case must have been pre sented to the jury to have induced them to decide in the way they did. His Lordship did not express himself dissatisfied with the verdict, and now the plaintiff came forward and sought them 'to revise their verdict. Lord DENitiN.L-We wid heir the arguments of . the ether side on the -point, and-if we are not satisfied we will call upon you to resume. • Sir F. THEIdEIt said his arguments were, therefore, at an end. _ _ _ . Mr. WILDE Followed on the'sozne side, and reiterated the main arguments of Sir Frederick Thesiger. He dwelt p!,rticularly upon the sudden abandonment of the ship. Mr. Sergeant SHEE then proceeded to address the Court in support of the rule. I-le said the rul4to which he referred, and the rejection of which he con,idercd most important for the plaintiff, was to the fidlowing effect :—What do you think would have been the best thing to have done with a tiew to the interest of the assurers and the assured, considering the state of tile vessel and her machinery at the time in cpirAion ? was true there was not a total loss of the stop in t!.e comraonintcrpr;ta knot the word, because she was visible to the eye; out the great important questions werv, was or was not the vs es. 1, a total wreck, utterly value less from the want of Proper merits for rer repair Sydney; or if th , ye were, would or would not the cx • p,nse, have been greatrr than her value? Was t..ere sofficit , nt dock roars there? \Vvs there a mitoufactory in which a cylinder such as the one bruken could be made? Was there a " patent slip?" and could or could not a " hogged" ship procei el safely to some in ighbour ing port where all her repairs could have been done? Could she'safely heve,undergone a voyage to Bombay? It tees therefore quite imposi.ible for the jury to futon a correct opinion upon all these questions unless this ques tion were asked und replied 'to. EVery one of the cir cumstances to which the attention of the jury was neces sarily directed partook of a scientific nature; and it was quite impossible that they could form a correct opinion without the evidence of competent persons in the matter on which they were called upon to decide. It was not sufficient to say that a number of questions had been asked of other witnesses, and that the jury had an ample opportunity of arriving at a clear and decided opinion, tromahe evidence adduced, and it was the duty Of , the defendants to show that the question was one which was improper. This they had clearly failed to do, because it was just possible that they might have learned from the question that the ship might have been economically and satisfactorily repaired at a neighbouring port. Then with respect to the misdirec tion of the Learned Judge—abandonment of a vessel consisted in writing a letter to the assurers, and they had done nothing more in this case ; they had acted fairly , and honourably, and had afforded the agents of the As surance Company un opportunity of surveying the ship, and of ascertateing v.hether the survey of the owners was correct. Formerly, persons could not abandon a ship soon enough, and the Learned Sergeant cited cases to show that ships had been abandoned immediately after the survey. The survey was made by the Port Master. Lloyd's agent, the agent of the Australian Bank, and others, and abandonment having been decided upon, she was ac cordingly abandoned next day; therefore it could not be said that the plaintiff acted precipitately or impru dently, and that he had not done all that it was his duty to do under the circumstances; and an opinion of that kind, from one in the high poeeion of the Noble Lord could not fail to prejudice the jury against the plaintiff. The Noble Lord left it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff had or had not acted pru dently, and the jury in the face of the most of the evidence of competent parties, that the plaintiff had acted fairly and prudently, decided against him.. The Learned Counsel then addressed himself to the third point, 'namely, that the verdict was against the evidence and referred to an abstract of the evidence of the different witnesses, who agreed in stating that there was no dry dock at the place, that the patent slip there was too small for her, that a new cylinder could not be cast for her in the colony, and that it would have cost 16,0001. to have ascertained her injuries and to have conveyed her to the nearest place where she could be repaired. It appeared, further, that the accident had corrugated her copper; and completely altered her build. Then the defendants hail sent out a commission to the colony, anti hal had an ample epportnnity of investigat itee the corditi , n of the ship . ; rtviel,.:n.cc rad been taken by them.- . Mr. W. ILDE said they bad seen. no..p.Vidence. ISIr. Sergeant - SUEZ Said it was unlikely that they would have paid 6,500/. into court, unless they believed that the ship had sustained some serious injuries. He submitted, on these grounds, thcq the rule s hould ,b , made abso. At the c lute onclusion of the Learned tiergeant's case, the? Court rose, on the understanding thit. the f u rther a .rgw meats should be resumed and complex4ed t°"ll2l3ll.°w ALARMING FIRE in MAN MANCIIESTER, MONDAY.—Great alitr. l2 w as exci ' 4d about ten o'clock on Sunday evening in neighbccr -CHESTER hood of Oxford-street, Chorlton-upon -3 i.

The first attempr:l° the watcn men was to rescue the pipes from the room ab" r ' e t the shed; but the fire had already obtained too gr e n d mastery to render this practicable.
