JOHN. rOLITICAL SUIVIMARY OF THE :MORNING JOURNALS. The Times of this morning, alluding to the debate in ( Lords on Thursday night, observes: The grievance e country is, that this Ministry, unprincipled prodigals the public money in favour of their own dependent com missioners and partizans, have so wasted the revenue and oroken down our whole system of finance, from a low minded submission to the blind will of clamorous demo cracy, that they have left themselves no means of keeping up our establishments at that level which the honour and safety of the country rencler absolutely necessary."—The Morning Herald, for lack of a more seasonable topic, in dulges in the following querulous Jeremiad —"Amidst the rejoicings which are well adapted to "he present season, it is to be hoped that the leaders of our various political parties will not conspire to overlook altogether the alarming circum stances in which the country is placed. Trade languishes. The agricultural classes arc marked out for plunder. The labourers are filled with discontent. They brood over schemes for the distribution cf property en new principles, schemes which never before were familiar to the minds of masses of the people. Ireland is volcanic. The colonies are insecure, and to some extent, disaffected."—The .Morning Post, commenting on a leading article that ap peared in a Ministerial print on Monday, says :—‘ l We like to see British royalty supported with becoming mag nificence, and though we feel no particular delight in the payment of taxes, yet we had far rather pay for the sup port of the Royal grandeur, than that there should not be Royal grandeur to pay for. At the same time, however, we detest the glazing dishonesty of Palace parasites, who would pretend that Royalty is not, after all, very amply provided for, when in truth it is."—The llloruirg Cltro. nicle thus expresses itsef on the subject of the recent Tory tactics in the Commons :—." We have now a patriotic Queen and King Consort with a smsller net re venue at their joint disposal than that of a Tory Queen Dowager, who has not, unless she so please, any public state to maintain. Whatever may be said in praise of the economy, nothing can be said in praise of the proportion. Toryism recognizes no proportion, save the proportion of subserviency to its own purposes ; for that, whenever it can reach the public money, it bestows bounties and in flicts penalties. In this way has it aimed at making Prince Albert feel its power." FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (Flom the Globe.) We have never questioned the right cf the House of Peers to deal with any bill which comes before them as they may deem fit. Mutilation or strangulation is within their province, as each has been of late their practice. But though absolute in power, they are yet responsible to public opinion ; and whenever they commit a flagrant violation of decency in their mode of operation, they expose themselves to, and can not escape, censure in a free country. The precedency clause in the Bill for Prince Albert's Naturalization was, we need hardly say, an important preliminary to the Royal nuptials, and one in which the Queen must neaes sari!), feel a deep personal interest. Was it - not, then, an indecent disregard of the courtesy due to the feelings and dignity of the Queen, to postpone for an entire Par liamentary week tire consideration of such a Bill, in order to afford tinze for the attendance of an individual Peer, who was enjoying the hospitalities of the" Royel" House of Stowe, instead of attending his place in Parliament ? Lord Lyndhurst's convenience was thus consulted by the Tory Peers at the expense of the deference due to the Queen as a lady and a Sovereign. This we have designated an " insult"—forming one of many her Majesty has received from the Tory party ; and this the Ministers very properly resented on the part of the Queen, by withdrawing the precedency clause from their consideration. (From the Standard.) The Queen's marriage must greatly change her position ; and this is all that can be desired for a Princess in whose personal qualities any alteration must be for the worse. Hitherto her Majesty has been se cluded to the society of a description of persons ill qua lified to permit the development of her noble disposi tion. We aced not canvass the personal merits of her Majesty's female household. Two wise men have gone before us in telling what the female household of a more experienced Queen regnant was, and what every female household must, we fear, be. Let us not be charged with want of gallantry in quoting the ob servation of the most accomplished and polite cavalier of Queen Elizabeth's Court, or be supposed to labour with prejudice when we reprint what the " wisest, brightest of mankind," has deemed worthy of a perpetual record. It is from the works of Bacon we take the following passage :—" Sir Walter Raleigh was wont to say of the ladies of Queen Elizabeth's Privy Chamber and Bedchamber that they were like witches ; they could do hurt, but they could do no good." Queen Victoria then, since her accession, has been confined to the society of persons who could do hurt but no good, as far as the female part of her Court was concerned. How much this society, potent for evil, but powerless for good, was im proved by the accession of Lords Melbourne, Head fort, and others, whose own private history, other considerations apart, must have made them desirous to keep their Sovereign in a state of general ignorance, the public can judge. The public is aware, too, that it is by an influence which, upon the high authorities of Raleigh and Bacon, we must know to be powerful only far evil—that the present Ministers have been continued in office since May last. The Queen's marriage de. stroys this influence, and renders her Majesty what the Sovereign of a free people ought to bc—a free woman. It is reported in military circles that Captain H. Stephens, who had the honour • of commanding the squadron of the 14th Dragoons Nshich escorted his Boyal Highness Prince Albert to Buckingham Palate, will receive the rank of Major. We understand that a petition from the inhabitants of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, to the House of C oalmen! , dischargefur the of the Sheriffs 'of Middlesex, is in course of signature, and is already most respectably and numerously signed. _ _ - One thousand guineas will be given to any per son who may have any kind of eruptions or inflammations of the skin, as erysipelas, lerra, scrofula, or king's evil, ring-worm, or scald-heads, and who shall have persevered for some time in the use of Holloway's Ointment and his External Disease Pill, and shall prove that they have failed to produce a radical cure - . These two medicines must be used together. They certainly are the most. wonderful and extraordinary remedies that ever were known. They are now being used in many of our greatest hospitals. They are sold by the Proprietor, 13. Broad-street buildnigs, City, and by all respectable patent medicine venuors throughout the kingdom. HORRID MURDER.-BODAIIN, (CORNWALL) FEB. 9.—Mr. Nevil Norway, who is a timber and iron mer chant, of Wadebridge, left Bodmin about half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night, to return home ; he had been attending the market here, and is supposed to have received some considera ble sums of money, which be bad about him. His horse, about half-past ten, came home without its rider, with a quantity of blood about the saddle. An immediate search was made, when he was discovered with his brains knocked out, near the four-mile-stone between Bodmin and Wadebridge, and pitched head foremost into a mill leat, which runs close by the side of the road. His pockets were rifled, and but ls. 6d. was found about his person. It is supposed that he must have been knocked off his horse with the butt. end of a gun, as part of a lock of a gun was found dose by the spot, and there is every appearance of two persons having been concerned in it. He has left a widow and eight small children, and was a person uni versally beloved. His death has cast a gloom over all the neighbourhood. The spot where the murder took place is between two small villages, and not more than one hundred yards from eithe r , an d a b out t h ree m i les from his home. P. S. Ten, p.m.—l have just returned from the Coroner's inquest. A verdict of .‘ Wilful Murder" has been returned against some person or persons unknown. Four persons are in custody, but nothing came out in evidence before the ii.quisition to impli ate any one.

OPEN ENG THE SWEDISH DIET. -- ll* speech of the King of Sweden, on opening the Dict at Ste,elholen, on the 25th ult., which is of unusual length, represents the kingdom as in a state of high pros perity, and states that, although the taxes have been ar - nuilly diminished, there lira since 1814 been expended 'n public works upwards of 15.'-k millions of thalers, or about 80 millions of francs. Particular attention, it says, has been paid to the moral and religious education of the people, and the States are recommended to authorise the establisl - roent nfa primary school in each ofthe I,2ooxisting parishr F. His Majesty enumerates all the improvements made in the government since his accession. Among these if: the extinc tion of the whole of the foreign and a great part of the home debt ; an increase of the profits of the Bank from 248,000 thalers banco to 700,000 ; the formation of an army of 100,000 effective men; the creation of a coast.. guard of 250 gun-boats ; an augmentation of the fleet ; an increase of commerce and n anufactures aAd general industry ; and finally, a perfect union between S xeden and Norway, which had been previously divided by a mutual spirit of an i mos i ty : Hi s M a j esty, at t h e conclusion of his speech, made a feeling allusion to his own advanced ago, and the great happi ness w hi c h the actual condition of the country afforded him. THE DREADFUL AFFAIR AT DUNKERTON. (LATEST PARTICULARS.) It appears that Silcox went to the parsonage-house about seven o'clock on the evening of Thursday, and, after entering into conversation with Thomas Jordan and his wi l e, who were left in charge of the house, Mr. Bampfylde generally residing at Bath, he was invited to take a glass of elder wine and some cake. He stood some time against the fireside, entering into general conversation, and offered to take a wager that Frost would not be executed. Jordan has only one child, a very intelligent lad, about fifteen years of age ; and whilst Silcox, the deceased, was talking to his father, the boy observed that he would go to bed. Immediately upon this observation, Silccx aimed a violent blow at the father, which stunned him, and then com menced an attack en the poor boy. The lad en deavoured to get out of his way, creeping under the table. Silcox next commenced attacking his wife, when the boy said, " If you strike falter and myself, don't hurt my mother." By this time the miscreant had inflicted several severe wounds on Jordan and his wife ; and the boy coming from his hiding-place, he stabbed him in the lower part of the back with a sharp instrument. The lad had a candle in his band, which was knocked out in the acuffle. He then concealed himself in the library. The assassin, supposing he had escaped, went and searched for him all over the house ; he entered the library where the poor terrified lad was concealed ; but not finding him, he took a light and again went up stairs ; in the meantime the boy effected his escape, and ran to farmer Willis and gave the alarm, in consequence of which, about a quarter of an hour after, the constable repaired to the rectory, when they beheld one of the most dreadful sights it has ever been our pa'nful duty to record. Poor Jordan and his %rife are dreadfully mangled, and there are not the slightest hopes of their recovery. There are no less than fifteen different wounds on the head of Jordan ; the wife is also frightfully mutilated. The walls are literally splashed with blood ; the floor of the ball is also flooded with the gore of the victims : detached portions cf the hair and scalp adhere to various parts of the room. Intelligence was imme diately conveyed to Mr. Bampfylde, who lost no time in repairing to the spot. The constable instantly went in search of the culprit, who, after having called at his sister's house in a state of extreme agitation, had repaired to his own home near the parsonage. On the entrance of the constable it was perceived he had already commenced the work of self-destruction by inflicting a frightful gash on his throat. The wretched man seized a formidable weapon (known to the trade as a horse shoe), with which he struck the constable a violent blow on the head, who fired a pistol at him without effect, and, starting off in the direction of the canal, a distance of 200 yards, threw himself into the water, from which he was taken out dead within a quarter of an hour, and conveyed to the parish church. An inquest has since been held on the body, when the above facts were put in evidence, and a verdict of felo de se has been re turned. Not the slightest hopes were entertained of the life of either Jordan or his wife. THE WITNESSES ON THE LATE TRIALS AT MONMOUTH. (From the Times.) NEWPORT, SATURDAY. It Will be recollected that about a fortnight since several of the witnesses who had given evidence against the traitors at. Monmouth came down to Newport and stated, that in consequence of the dreadful threats held out to them, they were afraid to remain at their homes, and they claimed the protection of the Magistrates. Not only did the Magistrates promise them their protection, but several gentlemen desired them to go to their agents, and they should have immediate and constant work in their collieries. Arms were also given to the men with which to defend themselves, and they returned to the hills determined to do the best they could. The men have again come down here, and from their state ment, which is confirmed by the report of the agents, it appears that as soon as they ,vent into the levels to work, all the other men instantly turned out, and de clared their determination not to work in the same levels with the witnesses. Every remonstrance vvls used, but i.] vain ; nothir.g would induce them to alter their determination ; and of such importance is it to the proprietors to lec. , ep their collieries at work, that they have been obliged to submit to this unwarrantable conduct, and the result is, that these witnesses, through whose evidence the traitors were convicted, are driven front their homes, and will be obliged to leave that part of the country. The accounts from Merthyr are very bad ; the men there are represented to be ready for anything. ~, ~- ~' TH E SUN, LONDON', WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 12, 1840. DIABOLICAL MURDER. A most atrocious murder has been committed during the week. A poor and very old woman had been em ployed for many years as a letter-carrier between New bridge and the parts adjacent, and on Wednesday evening she left Newbridge with the letter-bags as usual. No thing more was seen or heard of her till the next morn ing, when her body was found in the river, and upon examination it was found that her head had been most dreadfully beaten, and that she must have been dead before she was thrown into the water. It would seem that the perpttrators of this horrid deed expected to have obtained a rich booty, as it. was the day on which the money (upwards of 3,0001.) was usually sent up to one of the works to pay the .men. On this occasion, however, it fortunately happened that a special messenger had been sent down and had taken the money with him. There is not the slightest clue upon which a hope can rest for the discovery of the murderer. It is said that the people on the hills, being now fully persuaded that all capital punishment is done away with, these things will Lot be unfrequent, as they care not for secondary punishment, thcir observations being that they work so hard here that transportation cannot place them in a worse condition.

This entertlinment, given upon the occasion of the Queen's nuptial. - r., was of the most, mignitieent character, was admirably managed, and went with the greatest eclat. The only circumstance which occzsioned regret was the limited dimensions of the dinner-room, wh;chhas rendered necessary a rule to the effect that the number of convives at any barquet shall not exceed 60, a number vastly disproportioned to that of the members of the club, not less, we understand, than 1,'20a. The rule was relaxed, however, in the present n.tar.ee, as far es tie size of the room would admit, wit' out risking the chance of confusion and incurring the cert linty of disc o mf ort . The 64 noblemen and gentlemen whose games we i nser t were at the table. How many were deprived of the gratification of joining the party may be eoejecturerl when we say that, with very few exceptions, every member of the club now in London was anx'ous for a seat. The ex cAlent club rule of yielding to priority of application its just claim to preference was, however, strictly adhered to. The party consisted of the tailoring : Sir Robert Peel, Bart., in the Chair. ON HIS RIGHT. ON HIS LEFT.

Baring Mr. Borthwiek Mr. Sterling- We think we may assert, without any breach of modesty or discretion, that the above, of all the numerous convivial parties to which the occasion of her Majesty's marriage may have given rise throughout the boundless dominions of the Queen of England, was the most distinguished —the most distinguished, Oct for the rank and station of its mem bers—though this also, we believe, ae might fairly claim, but for the qualities which nations honour with their appro bation and esteem, and which the inheritors of thrones who best understand their own position and the interests of their people, always appreciate the mcst highly. We may not so far forget the sanctity of private society (the meeting being strictly of this character) as to attempt any details respecting the toasts, the manner in which they were introduced, or any other occurrences incidental to such an assembly. The name of the distinguished Chairman, and those of the noblemen and gentlemen over whose festivity he presided, render it needless for us to say that all breathed the true spirit of English loyalty and courtesy—a loyalty founded upon constitutional attachment to a constitutional throne, and remote alike from coldness and from adulation ; and a courtesy which yields to that of no nation in the world in generous and affectionate regard to tenderness of sex and age. The materiel and arrangement of tt,e banquet were in the highest degree sumptuous and elegant. We suppose these matters were under the direction of a committee. But, by whomsoever they were conducted. they evinced a determ►nation that in these minor particulars, as in others of far greater importance, the Carlton Club should far outstrip every competitor.—Standard. HER MAJESTY'S PRIVY PURSE. ( From the Chronicle.) With respect to the civil list, with one exception, the whole is appropriated to particular services, fJr which par. ticular officers are responsible, and with which her M , jesty cannot interfere, The only sum voted by Parliament for the Queen, over which her Majesty has personally any contr:l, is the 60,0001. for the privy purse. Out of this sum the Queen pays all the pensions that were granted out of it by George IV. and William IV., consideting it more respectful to their memories to do so than to discon tinue them, or to transfer them to the Civil List Pension Fund, which is made public by being laid annually before Parliament. These pensions range through a variety of cir cumstances, from that of Mrs. Fox, the widow of Charles James Fox. who receives 500/. a-year, to the servants of the late Mrs. Jordan, and amount in all to 10 0001. per annum. But these are far from being the only claims on the privy purse. Her Majesty, with kind consideration for the children of the late King, soon after her accession to the throne, granted from the privy purse no less a sum than 7,800/. per annum to the Fitzclsrences. She gave also 3,000/. per annum to Sir John Conroy, and placed upon it some small pensions which the Duchess of Kent had hitherto paid. In fact, the fixed charities and racing plate paid an nually out of the privy purse, amount to 35,000/. per annum ; which, sub.racted front 60 0001., leaves only 26,0001. at her Majesty's own disposal. Out of this com paratively small balance, the Queen has riven away con siderable sums in occasional charities, and has paid the remaining debts of the Duke cf Kent, her father, to the amount cf 50 0001, It has been customary to exhaust the language of pane gyric in the case of Gcorge 111. The instance of filial regard we have just alluded to furnishes a very favourable contrast to the conduct of Gearge 111. The debts of his father, the Prince of Wales, wore very considerable, and had been incurred not very long before his accession to the throne ; but these debts be suffered to remain unpaid. Her Majesty has at the same time patronized the arts, so far as her means would allow, though not certainly to tl.o extent which she could have wished to have done. We have deemed it only just to the Queen to efface the impressions which some of the statements in the debate on the allowance to Prince Albert were calculated to produce. By her personal economy, her considerate kindness, and her filial piety, she has justly entitled herself to the admi ration of her subjects. From a reign thus auspiciously commenced, what may we nor anticipate? CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.—On Sunday a coupleof paupers from Calverly workhouse, near Bradford, con trived to elude the wa'chfulness of the master, and eloped to the parish Church, Bradford, where they were married before the nature of their condition was discovered. We suppose that the banns had been re \r,ularly put up ; and 3•et there are those who urge that the putting up of banns in churches is a pre ventative of secret and improper marriages. —Halifax Ex pres:r. Dr. Alexander Turnbull, formerly of Carlisle, is now in the enjoyment of great celebrity in London, especially for his astonishing success in communicating to deaf and dumb paients the sense of hearing, which leads, of course, to the ac quirement of speech.— Gateshead Observer. Bacon curing (says a Correspondent), appears to be very little understood in South Wales, as it is difficult to get any but will turn yellow or rancid in a few days. This is not the case in Hampshire, Wilts, or Gloucestershire, as the system of drying there will keep the meat perfectly sweet, the fat perfectly white, and the lean red. In Dorsetshire and Cornwall drying bacon appears to be unknown. The plan there is to put the green pork in pickle, and there it remains till re quired for use. - Mr. Thos Devyr, the conductor of the Northern Liberator, who has been twice committed for trial at the en suing assizes, on a charge of sedition, and on each occasion liberated on bail, absconded from Newcastle a week or two ago ; and, as we have since been informed, sailed from Liverpool for the United States on Saturday morning last. He was accompanied by his wife, and also by Mr. novas , le, late of the Side, New eboloakttsears, c fr a L tle t e u h d e e m n s i at m a ollv wel e l z kn e o n w te n re C d hhai himself agitator. hi r p f , h s " Mr. Johnson."

His quondam associate had sailed from England— " And he was left lamenting." Mason, another of the bailed Chartists, is als3 a fugitive; and we therefore cannot be so surprised as Master Gilchrist, that Ayre cannot find bondsmen.— Gateshead Observer. SUMMONING FOR CHURCH-RATES.—Several persons having refused to pay the Church-rate for the Pariah of - St. Mary, the Churchwarden s , on Monday last, summoned Mr. Tho mas O rme, one of the inhabitants, who had so refused payment. Mr. Orme, in reply t o ques ti on s from the Magis trates, stated th a t the reasons therein given were bona fide his objections, and that they were true. Mr. Greenway asked him whether he meant to dispute the rate in the Ecclesiastical Court, and he replied that it was his intention to do so. 'I he summonses were dismissed en the ground that, after the notice and declaration of the defendant, the Magistrates had no fat they power to act.— Warwick Advertiser. WARRANTY OF HORSES.—In the case of Mallileu v. Fusting, tried last Friday, Lord Denman held that a general warranty of being quiet in harness meant quiet in double as well as single harness. With reference to the facts, he expressed his opinion that the evidence showed the horse to have become a kicker, so that in fact the warranty had not been supported. Horse.sellers will, perhaps, be somewhat surprised as this decision, so contrary alike to their practice and notions of right. The legal meaning of warranted " quiet in harness, not only includes both single and double, but seems to guarantee the present as well as the future behaviour of the harness-horse. This is " riding over " horse-dealer's-law. The mansion taken by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, for a temporary residence, is No. 36, Bel grave-sivare adjoining the Duchess of Gordon's and Sir John Shelley's. The mansion belongs to I.ord Ingestrie, who let the house last season to the Prince of Capua. The Duchess will remove, it is understood, from Buckingham Palace to her new abode in about three weeks, We have heard it reported that two of the Chartist leaders, for whom rewards have been offered, but who have hitherto succeeded in eluding► justice—Jack the Fifer, aid Davy the Tinker—have at length been apprehended.—Mon mouthshire Merlin.

Solomons, Nor 36, Old Bond-street, and I, Old Jewry, City, rank in importance among the greatest of modern inve:. tions, which is of the greatest importance to the public, in conse quence of their improving and preserving the sight; and their being of less specific gravity than any others, will be found highly advantageous to all persons having a determination of blood to thehead or eyes. Their great efficacy, is most satis factorily authenticated by the concurrent testimony of thousands of living witnesses of the first respectability, in this and the sister kingdoms, added to which, the documentary proofs sub mitted through the medium of the daily journals, decidedly es tablish Mr. Selemon's reputation as an optician and scientific man. His voice conductors, recently invented, are tl e most powerful instruments hitherto discovered for defective hearing. beaf persons are enabled from their minute construction, (being only one quarter of an inch in diameter) to wear them entirely unseen; they are inserted and removed with the greatest facility. By their use musical sounds, and the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembV, vibrates on the organs of hearing in suel4 a pleasing manner, as to afford the greatest relief to those afflicted with the distressing ailment of deaf ness. Owing to parties of the same name fraudulently adver tising Spectacles as " newly invented," the public attention is particularly directed to the address of the above establishments.

(Front the London New Price Current of February 11. ) St:nee —British Plantation was in steady demand last week by both grocers and refiners. To day the show of British Plantation Sugar being in different operated against buying, and the purchases were ; bright yellow qualities prices above those of last week. At public sale 100 libels Barbadoes were offered, and sold with much animation Is above previous rates fur r*ii lei in and 6d fer good deseripfice s, middling fetched 66; a 67; lid, good middling 683 a 68s Gd, sad good 694 a 69; 61 per cwt ; there was no fine in the sale. REFINED. —To day Refined goo Is were in flood request by the grocers, and standard Lumps were difficult to be obtained et 793 per cwt. Treacle of common quality finds a good sale at 32-3 6 1 ; other kinds move off steadily at our quotations. Bastards and Pieces of all kinds arc in good request at previous rates. Bonded Crushed Sugar secures a good sale at 34s 6d for present delivery, and 34; 3d to wait a few weeks. In Loaves and Pieces small sales were made at previous prices. MAURITIUS. —There has been a fair amount of business transacted privately in all descriptions, at prices on a par with those of this day week. None has been offered at auction, but 3.000 bags are declared for to-morrow. One arrival since we last wrote. Eesr lerte. —This afternoon the public sales consisted of 1,000 bags Bengal, 7,716 bags Siam, and 149 bags Ma nilla. The Bengal sold with much spirit at prices is above those previously quoted ; fine coloury white, not very bright, fetched 71s 6d to 723, good 70a 61 to 71s, bright yellow 683 61 to 693 6J, damps 68s to 693, washed 69s to 71s 6d; privately some parcels were disposed of on similar terms, an i the grocers are much in want of this kind. Siam were all disposed of, but the bidding; were languid, and rather lower rates were submitted to, bat, upon the whole, pre vious prices were supported; good fair white sold at 27; to 27s 6d, mid 26s to 26s Gd, low mid 24; 6d to 25s 6d, low mid greyish 25s to 25s 6d, soft 23s to 255, fine yellow 24s to 245 Gd, good 23s 6d, mid 22; 6d, damps 22s 6d to 25s 61, washed 20; to 245. Manilla went at 22? 6d for fine brown, and one lot middling yellow 235, being very full prices. FOREIGN.—There has been some inquiry for yellow flavannah, but the merchants generally not being dis posed to sell on former terms have checked business, and the sales privately have been trivial; 366 boxes were offered at auction, and fetched previous rates, viz. brown 21s to 225, low to good mid yellow 22s 6d to 255, damaged 2ls to e3s per cwt ; white is not asked for. Brown qualities of Brazil are wanted, chiefly by our refiners, who would pay late rates, but the small supply operates against the execu tion of orders ; ord kinds of white have been sought after by them and small parcels have been disposed of at 24s to 24s 61 for low mid ; good sorts are held firmly, but there are not many buyers. Corny,. —Previous rates have been maintained for all clean descriptions of British Plantation ; unclean kinds have met with a dull sale at rather lower prices. Igor Mocha the advanced rates previously quoted have been fully sup ported. This afternoon there was more life in the market, and a fair business was transacted by private contract in East and West India to supply the wants of the home trade, and previous rates were maintained ; nearly all the lots bought in at the lato auctions have been disposed of at the rates established thereat : there was no public sale. In the Foreign market there is still little life, but prices remain firm ; at auction 180 bags St. Domingo sold at 48s to 49s for good ord mixed quality. RlCE.—This afternoon Bengal was in fair request pri vately at previous rates ; but for other kinds there were fee buyers; 1.617 bags Siam, and 528 bags damaged Java were offered at auction, the former sold at caster prices, viz , 10a 6d to 11s for middl IT yellowish white, the latter fetched 7s 6d t. 8; per cwt. Oit.s.—For Linseed Oil prices have advanced to 24s 3d to 244 6d per cwt for immediate delivery, for forward delivery there are buyers to a fair extent. Rape improved to 37s for pale, and 36s for brown. Olive, the tendency of prices is upwards. Palm at 331 lOs to 34l 103. East India Cocoa Nut 423 to 43; 63. Pale Seal at 291 to 301. Cod at 28/155 to 291. Sperm, fine quality, 112/ per tun, RUM, BRANDY, AND LIOLLANDS.—There has been only a limited demand for Jamaica Rum since we last wrote, but the merchants remain firm, and former rates have been supported ; the supply is smell, particularly of fine descrip tions ; the sales have been 150 puns, 26 to 30 per cent overproof at :is 6,1 to 5s 9d, 33 to 38 over 5s 103 to 63, stronger and favourite marks 6s Id to 6; bd. Irs Lee wards the operations have been on a small scale, and prices have given way 1 d for common kinds, but strong descriptions have maintained former quotations : 200 puns have been disposed of: proof to 3 per cent cverproof at. 35 7d to 33 Bd, 8 to 12 over 3s 103 to 4s, 30 to 35 over 53 21 to 5s 4d, 36 to 40 over 53 bd to 53 9d per gallon. The arrivals continue to come in slowly : the stock is nearly on a par with that of last year. For Ea‘t India 10 pet cent overproof 3s 9d is asked ; it is reported that it is the inten tion of Government to reduce the duty, probably to 9a per gallon. Brandy is held for rather higher rates, and there has been a much better demand ; a large business has been transacted in Cognac at the following rates, viz., first brands of the vintage of 1836 at bs Id to 5s 3d, do 1837 4s 113 to 53.1 d, do 1838 4,7 d to 43 9d. In Bourdeaux, sales have been made at 2s 8d to 23 9d; at these rates several holders are not inclined to realize, in consequence of the negotia tion between our Government end the French, respecting a reduction in the duty ; the general opinion is, that if any alteration is made, it will be fixed at 15s per gallon ; should this be the case, it will much increase the consumption. Geneva has secured a lair sale at 2s to 23'1d. Prices re main low for English Corn Spirits, but at the present rate of 93 10d the demand is good. To day there was only a limited business doing in Jamaica Rum, but prices remain firm : Leeward! sell slowly, but proofs are not obtainable under 3s 7d per gal lon. Brandy is in excellent demand at the rates quoted above. SPICES.—By private contract Black Pepper is in less request, but prices remain firm. For Pimento prices are rather higher ; Cassia Lignea principally for shipping, rather above previous quotations. This afternoon 86 bags Pepper. and 20 bags Mace were offered at auction ; the former were taken in rather above their value, viz. 4d for good light Sumatra, 3,-1 was bid. Mace sold at 3s 2d to 3s 4d for very old Dutch. Cassia Lignea is held firmly, middling quality is not obtainable under 80s per cwt. TEA—The demand for Free Trade Tea was extreme] limited last week f o r ac t ua l consumption ; Capitalists y altogether refrained from purchasing, and some parties who had to meet their prompts were compelled to submit to a reduction on previous rates, of 2d to 3d per lb, to dispose of small parcels for cash, and accepted 2s 8d to 2s Bid for common Congou, and 23 10d to 2s 104 d for Twankay, nearly all the parcels, however, offering at this reduction were di s p ose d o f ; some small holders made con tracts with prompts rather under former prices, and ac cepted 2s 10d to 2s 102 d for common Congous, and 2s Ild to 2s 111 for Twankay ; the principal merchants, how ever, refused to sell, excepting at previous rates, and cur general quotations underwent no change : on Saturday, them was a better disposition evinced on the part of the ticide to purchase, and a fair business Was transacted in common Congou at 2s 9d, and Twankay at 2-3 1011 for cash, the latter were the moat in request. Company's Congou, which was dull of sale in the middle part of the week at 2s 91 to 2s lid for cash and with a prompt, was more sought after on liaturday, and a good many parcels were cliposed of at improved rates, viz.. at 2s 103 for cash, and 2s lid to 3a Id with a two and three months' prompt : a vessel has arrived from Hong Kong off the coast. The overland mail is hourly expected, and is inked for with much anxiety by all parties connectei with the Tea trade. The deliveries during the past week have been 400.000163. To-day prices were firna for all kinds of T.:a, but the demand was limited, buyers waiting for the overland mail; the latest rates at which business was ac tually done was as follows : —common free trade Congoth money 2s 91, with a prompt 2s Ild to 33, Twankay 10i1. with a prompt 2s 11d, Compasy's Con goo 23 101 to 3s m )ney and prompt, but the sales were on a small scale. Half. past four o'clock—The Tea de claration las just been i=sued, and contains the large quantity of 98,000 pack , ge3, or 6,000,000 lbs; the mar• Ica is in a very dull state.

For de livery in the two next months, the improved rice of 50a per cat ; for delivery in the last three months 49s 6 1, there are buyers to a fair extent at 48s, but no sellers thereat ; at auction. 320 cssks South American so d at 48. 31 to 493 61.

This estab lishment, which is one of the greatest architectural ornaments of the metropolis, was lit from the top to the basement with wax candles; and even after viewing the more gorgeous dis play of oil and gas, had an extremely chaste, brilliant, and novel effect.

MR. WILLIs'S "I.OITERINGS OF TRAVEL: —Who that has read Mr. Willis's " Pencillings by the Way, or indeed any of his works, will not welcome his re-appearance hi the world of literature? To say that he is a pleasan twriter, is to say nothing to the purpose ; he is a charming author—an author ssliose pages are never dull, and with wham the reader is lath to part. Let Sir. Willis write on what subject he will, he is sure to be always lively. He writes well and pleasantly on the most unpromising topics. What would be no subject to another, is an excellent subject to him. His imagination is as fertile as his power of clothing his ideas in pleasant and appro priate phraseology is great. " Loiterings of Travel" furnishes us with a striking proof of the versatility of Mr. Willis's talents. We have said that the greater portion of the work consists of tales, legends, and other articles which essentially belong to that class of literature called fiction ; but the remainder em braces personal portraitures, sketches of society, poetry, de seriptions of natural scenery, and of the external aspect of the leading streets of the metropolis.-- Grast's London Journal.
