SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS 01 YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) We have been accused of ill-treating Sir William Molesworth. We are sorry if we have done so ; we made fair and long citations from his late speech. But we did not disguise that its whole assumptions, as to our foreign policy, appeared to us to rest on an entirely de lusive basis ; and as the same assumptions are repro duced by all the advocates of the same views, we think it worth while to take some farther pains in shew ing what we deem their erroneousness. It is assumed by all those advocates that, in the recent transac tions, we have been acting on the principles of the Holy Aliance. It is assumed that the principles of the Holy Alliance (a defunct bugbear) alone counte nance any interference in the affairs of other countries. And, as the leading Powers of continental Europe were members of this Holy Alliance, it is assumed that every alliance with those Powers is a resuscitation of it. Now there are old Holy Alliances, and there are new Holy Alliances. There is the right divine of kings ; and there is the right of aggression of conquerors. It would be convenient for those who hold that the latter ought to be recognised as the basis of a new public law of Europe, if they could impose their dogma (which has a good deal that is Mahometan in it) on all Europe —on pain of an outcry of " Holy Alliance !" whenever that dogma does not meet with implicit subscrip tion. It would thenceforward become lawful to form covert or overt alliance with any potentate, pro vided only he had no regular title to his power ! Ag gressions against the acknowledged boundaries, and balance of power in Europe, would become a necessary ingredient in all future compacts. Otherwise they would be stigmatised as Holy Alliances ; and certainly the new ones might boldly claim exemption from that name. Unholy Alliances, or the law of the strongest, would then he recognised as the new law of Europe. (From the Standard.) The Semaphore of Marseilles contains a letter from Alexandria, dated the Ist last, which states that the last accounts from Syria were more favourable to the cause of Mehemet Ali ; that the mountaineers had taken umbrage at the departure of the Emir Bechir, the trans port of prisoners to Constantinople, and the removal of the mountaineers who had declared for the Sultan to a distance from them. The Semaphore states that the new Emir is in command of the allied forces, and is accompanied by Commodore Napier, who has charge of the Royal Marines. There is, we suspect, sonic mistake in this, as Commodore Napier had, accord ing_ to the last advices, resigned the direction of the allithl forces to Sir Charles Smith. We have a high respi,et for Cornin-idore Napier, whose services in this campaign have added importantly to the reputation he had elsewhere acquired ; but we cannot under stand why a naval man should be placed in the com mand of a gallant and experienced military body like 1 the corps of Royal Marines, when there are oath -1 cers in their own corps equally ready and willing to lead them into action. It is thus that on all occasions the gallantry and discipline of the distin guished corps is made to swell the tame of the branch of the servie,, with which they act in concert. At sea, the captain of the ship must of course hold the command both of seamen and in erines ; but ashore, when collected from the fleet to the number of 1,500, it is a gross in sult to them to assume that among the many pliant veteran officers eligible for command belonging to the corps there is no one capable of leading their battalion into action save a Captain of the Navy !! It would appear from the recent arrivals from Syria, that there is not a single field officer attached to this large and important force, Lord pinto having decided some time since that the field officers were incumbrances to the corps. If be be really serious in this opinion, the sooner he reduces them (taking care that they shall be duly rewarded for their past services) and appoints naval officers to perform their duties the better ; because they will then know what they have to trust to. (From the Courier.) We agree with the Times that, in the recent in vestigation at Kensington into the circumstances con nected with the death of Elizabeth Friry, all the de tails about which have been heretofore reported in this paper and duly commented upon, Sir Edmund Head, the newly appointed Assistant Commissioner for the London district, evinced a degree of feeling, impartiality, and acuteness, the more creditable to him, as contrasting so a dvantageously with the character and one-sided mode of proceedings on other and similar occasions of the tribe of As sistant Poor-law Commissioners, who, as a genus apart, appear to consider it generally as a stringent obligation imposed by the laws of their order to divest themselves as much as possible of what, at head quar ters, might perchance be regarded as " humanity-mon gering:' Tne verdict of the Kensington board of guardians, under the superintendence of Sir Edmund, was recorded by a considerable majority in the following terms : ‘• That the conduct of Mr. Wright the medical officer, and Mr. Madden, the relieving officer, in allowing a period of twenty-two hours to elapse without seeing proper attention paid to Elizabeth Friry, and in not haying her conveyed forthwith 'to the workhouse, is highly culpable, and that they be reprimanded accordingly by the Chairman." As the Times forcibly observes, " another pleasing feature in this inquiry was the praise bestowed by the Assistant- Commissioner, and by the whole Board, upon Catherine Ryan, the poor woman in whose house the deceased breathed her last, for that disinterested charity which had elicited from the surgeon and the relieving officer coarse abuse and brutal menaces, even in the chamber of death." Let us hope that praise, however grateful, will not be all the re compense which this compassionate Samaritan is des tined to receive : and if the guardians as a body have no control over funds from which reward and indemnifi cation can be dispensed, that private beneficence will come in aid, or supply the want, of official capacity, and, so far as the Poor-law Board of Somerset House, of official sympathy.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. project. At the bottom of the prospectus another false pretence presented itself in the announcement of the bankers, Messrs. Ladbroke, Kingscote, and Co., and Coutts and Co., who never authorised the use of their names, and knew nothing at all of the concern to which their names were so unwarrantably attached. The facts which constituted the false pretences consisted of the employment of certain persons to go round with subscription books, and to collect money upon the strength of the names of the individuals thus adopted into the documentary portion of the system of delusion. In these books appeared the following names to the fol lowing sums :—Caldicott, Cheapside, 251. ; Lett and Co., Lambeth, 251. ; Curling and Co., Cheapside, 21/. ; Jones and Williams, Bread-street, 201.: Leaf and Co., Old Change, 1 51 . ; Mair and Co., Friday-street, 101. 10s. ; Rogers and Co., Watling -street, 101. ; Malden and Co., 101. The collectors were instructed to exhibit their books, and, upon the authority of these certificates, to raise similar contributions, although not one of these gentlemen therein named had subscribed one farthing. In addition to all this, there appeared in the Times newspaper 'advertisements from Mr. Byng, which further confirmed, and strengthened the pretence, so that there could be no doubt as to the object or the efficacy of the COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 17. The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning, on coming into Court, gave the following judgments : COTNIAN V. ORTON AND ANOTHER. In thisC;;C — his - I.4ORDSIIIP dismissed the bill with costs, as against Orton, but without costs as against Winterton, the other defendant. :LLINGWORTH V. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAIL- WAY. The object of the injunction against the defendant, MI originally applied for and first granted by the Vice- Chancellor, was to prevent the diversion of the water of the Calder from the mill of the plaintiff, and so de priving the mill of the use of the running stream, stated to be essential to their business ; and secondly, to compel the Railway Company to provide another road for the place of a road called Jacob's-road. This in junction, upon the application of the defendants, the Vice-Chancellor dissolved, from which decision the plantiff appealed, and it was upon this appeal that judgment was given. His Lordship said it was clear from the affidavits that for eighteen months before any application was made to the Court, the plaintiffs were aware of the works of which they now complained. The plaintiffs had failed in proving that there was any intention on the part of the Company to deprive them of the use of the running stream ; and even if they had proved it, the question would arise whether the Company were not entitled, by their Act of Parliament, to deal with the water as they deemed necessary, upon making such compensation as the Act required. There was no proof of any intention on the part of the defendants to evade the provisions of the Act, and it was proved they had no intention of interfering with the navigation without first coming to an arrangement with the Calder and Hebble Navigation Company. With respect to the road, his Lordship was of opinion the plantiff bad failed in proving the substituted road was not as conve ❑ient, " or as nearly as might be," which was the words of the Act, as the old road. Indeed it was free from some of the inconveniences to which the old road had been subjected. His Lordship was of opinion the de cision of the Vice-Chancellor was correct, and the ap peal must therefore be dismissed with costs. This de cision, however, would not prevent the plaintiffs suing for damages at law if they should be so advised. MORTIMER V. FRASER. proof. Alderman Lilo:Ayr; asked whether it could be proved that Mr. Byng had received any money himself under the circumstances detailed? Mr. Chapman replied that the defendant had received money through his collectors, who were ready to swear to the facts. Alderman BROWN doubted the validity of such evi dence. The Counsel for the defendant—Even if all that has been stated could be proved, it would not constitute the false pretence. Mr. Chapman entertained quite a different opinion, at the same time that he admitted there was an appa- rent difficulty. Alderman BRowN was of opinion that there might be ground for indicting the defendant and his collectors for a conspiracy, but there was no possibility of sustain ing a charge against the defendant as an individual ; he therefore thought it useless to proceed in the case. Sir PETER LAURIE was decidedly of opinion that immense good sprung from the exposure of impositions of this kind. He knew several establishments in Lon don which were supported by the most atrocious frauds, and he considered that every person who assisted in dis closing to the public the: character of such concerns were deserving of public thanks. Mr. Chapman observed that the interposal of a tech nical difference or objection was calculated in the pre sent important case to mar public justice. Alderman BROWN—You must know, as a lawyer, that technical difficulties would be started elsewhere, and why should they not be entertained here ? You do not charge Mr. Byng with conspiracy ? Mr. Chapman—No, for he is the only person against whom complaint can be made. Hia collectors who re ceived money for him, are innocent parties, and it was not until we had been repeatedly applied to by the per sons employed in that way by him that we resolved to complain. The following is a letter which we received from two of them _ . _ This case had also come before the Court upon an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor. In Tregosant v. Fraser, which was a suit to administer the estate of the late Mr. Farquhar, Mr. George Mortimer, one of his next of kin, was upon exceptions to the Master's re port, found by an order at the Rolls, indebted to the estate in many thousands of pounds, which he had claimed as gifts. That order was afterwards affirmed in the House of Lords. The present bill was filed by Mr. Mortimer's representatives, and the object of it was to be protected, as between his estate and the other next of kin, against being compelled to pay those debts so esta blished against him ; and the grounds on which that was asked was an alleged contract between Mr. George Mortimer and the other next of kin, by which it was alleged that they, in consideration of his ad mitting the sum of twenty thousand pounds distinct from the sums so established against him was a loan and not a gift, and therefore due from him to the in testate's estate, agreed that ha should not be called on for any other sum. The Vice-Chancellor dismissed the bill with costs and his Lordship was of opinion that the judgment of his Honour was well founded. The appeal was therefore dismissed. "12th November, 1840. " Sir,—We beg leave respectfully to inquire if the Anti-Corn-law Board of Tokenhouse-yard is in any way connected with the Anti-Corn-law Association, the former having advertised for canvassers ? We have re ceived appointments, but do not consider we should be justified in occupying ourselves in the business it there is any opposition that would act prejudicially to the cause we both advocate. " We are, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servants, " HENRY LYON, 22, Felix-street, Westminster-road. MARK CRABTREE, 10, Wych-street, Strand." Alderman BROWN asked Mr. Hobler what he thought of the case ? Mr. Hobler replied that the complainant might bring a bill before the Grand Jury. Alderman BROWN—But could an indictment be sustained in such a case ? TURNER V. BORLASE. This was also an appeal from a decision of the Vice- Chancellor, who overruled the demurrer which had been put into the bill for want of parties. His Lordship confirmed the order of the Court below. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 17. BALL V. SMITH. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS obtained a rule nisi, for a new trial, upon the affidavit of the defendant, that she received no notice aed had no knowledge whatever of any action in the case, until an execution was put into the house, whereupon she paid the money. Mr. Hobler said that men who had employed boys to get forged or stolen checks cashed for them had been indicted and convicted upon the evidence of the par ties employed, and in other cases persons who employed others to obtain goods for them improperly had been also found guilty upon similar evidence. Alderman BROWN said it appeared to him that an indictment could not be sustained. Mr. Chapman submitted that it was part of the duty of Magistrates to give facilities for laying before the public matters the exposure of which would operate as a caution and a safeguard, and he considered the pre sent case to be one in point. Alderman BROWN said that Magistrates had also the duty to perform to take care that a person accused should not be wrongfully committed ; and that in all cases legal evidence should be deemed indispensable. He always acted upon that principle. He then de sired to know what the collector had to say. Mr. T. J. Adams stated that he had been employed by Mr. Byng to collect money, by exhibiting the pro , spectus. He showed it to Mr. Ilooper, of Milford street, Bermondsey, and received from him a guinea, and on the same day he received two smaller sums from other persons. He paid the money to Mr. Byng, who paid him and another collector who accompanied hini, twenty-five per cent. commission. The reports about Mr. Byng's concern, however, were so bad, that they determined not to act any longer without an explana tion, and Mr. Byng having refused to give any, they thought it would be disgraceful to continue in the em ployment, and accordingly threw it up. The collecting books contained the names of the gentlemen who h a d been mentioned by Mr. Chapman, and the various amounts of subscriptions quoted. The LORD MAYou—Where are these books ? Have you got them ? Mr. Chapman—No, my Lord, Mr. Byng has got them. He can produce them. The Counsel for the defendant—This is a dispute between two rival companies, and it is difficult to know what course to pursue. 1, however, would not advise that the books should be produced without notice—we hive had no notice whatever. It appears to me that all the getting signatures and subscriptions against employed nsttOrn i - n laws as well as either of these Societies. Sir PETER LAURIE said that he was satisfied as to the false pretence. There teas no doubt that the money had been got upon the respectability of the names, and that the use of the names had never been authorised. lie saw several of the gentlemen present, and begged to know from them whether they had ever allowed their names to be used. Mr. Warburton, Mr. Ricardo, and all the other gentlemen, replied at once in the negative. Mr. John Durrett, clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Ladbroko and Kingscote, stated that he had been sent to prove that there was no account of Mr. Byng's or his concern kept at his employer's house. Mr. Chapman—Mr.,Leaf, and other gentlemen, whose names are down in the defendant's book as large subscribers, arc here to prove that they never gave, and never were asked for a farthing. _ _ . I : 1 .000 ..... 13,0 1 0 111,000 ......... Alderman BROWN—StiII we are without the books. Sir PETER LAURIE—The defendant may save the trouble of an adjournment, by sending for the books. Mr. Byng shook his head, and intimated that he saw no occasion to produce the books at all. Alderman BROWN—It is competent for Mr. Chap man to indict the defendant before the Grand Jury. Sir PETER LAURIE-4. am sure the public are in debted to ad persons who come forward to expose im postures like this. The Lotto MAYOR—Quite enough has been stated, I think, to put the public on their guard, and prevent them from contributing further. The defendant's Counsel—Why, my Lord, if they prove all they say, they can't make out a false pretence. The LORD MAYOR—Upon my word, Sir, I never saw any thing that looked more like a false pretence, with all due submissio❑ to you.—(A laugh.) Is there anybody present who saw the books in which the sub scriptions were entered ?—Mr. James Wilson, a mem ber of the Committee of the Anti-Corn-law Associa tion, stated that the two collectors present called upon him, and produced a book, containing the names above mentioned, and the sums entered as their subscriptions, and they stated that they had been instructed by Mr. Byng to show the book, in order to induce others to give subscriptions. The LORD MAYOR—Really the matter appears to me to be very plain, but in all probability the whole ob ject is sufficiently answered by the public nature of the accusations, and the exposure of all the details, which I have no doubt will be very extensively accom plished. He did not suppose, from the characters of the gentlemen who attended against the defendant, that there existed any vindictive feeling amongst them. Mr. Chapman—Certainly not ; we have proceeded thus, because the defendant persevered after the first complaint made against him. Alderman BROWN —No doubt the public will be on their guard. My feeling is, that we must not alter the course of public justice, in order to meet a particular case. Sir P. LAURIE.--S 0 I think too ; but, at the same time, I am convinced that immeasurable good results from investigations hare which people are in the habit of saying Magistrates have no right to inquire into. It is impossible until we have all the facts produceable in a case before us to aay whether it is one for trial or not. The LORD MAYOR—Then I declare this case at an end ; and I dare say there will be no further provoca tion given. If there should, why the parties aggrieved will know how to proceed, and what has taken place to day will enable them to supply defects of evidence upon a future occasion. LEE NEW CHURCH. --- The beautiful new church at Lee, near Blackheath, sustained considerable damage from the hurricane which took place on Friday last.

F ou l t a bl ei Coan Cnorsan v THE LATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND AT TEMPT AT MURDER NEAR STAINES.—John Barnes, the second ruffian concerned with John Connell (who has been already committed for trial) in the late desperate highway robbery and attempt at murder near Staines, committed on the person of James Higgins, a general dealer, from Essex-street, Whitechapel, on the night of Saturday, the 7th instant, was on Saturday brought before 11(1;O; of NlagistrAtes at Chertsey, Surrey, for final exdminatiou on the charge, and was fully committed Mr trial. ARCHER V. ENGLISH AND WALKER. This was an action brought by a solicitor, against the assignees of a bankrupt, to recover the costs of preparing the deed of assignment, &c. The Solicitor- General obtained a rule nisi for a nonsuit, on the ground that the resolutions of the meeting of creditors were not sufficient proof of the liability of the two defendants, and that proof ought to have been given that the defendants were present at the meeting, and that they recognised the plaintiff as the solicitor of the creditors, and not, as they proved at the trial, the solicitor of the bankrupt. Mr. JARVIS' showed cause against the rule. The COURT, without hearing the other side, decided that the rule must be made absolute. RICHIE V. WILSON. This was an action for goods sold and delivered. The plaintiff is a timber merchant, from whom a builder named Sutton, residing; at Camberwell, obtained the goods in question, for the building of houses, which he hal undertaken upon a contract for the defendant. Io taking the contract, Sutton stipulated, and Wilson agreed, that the latter should pay for the timber and other material in ready money, from time to time, as the fornier required them, in order that the contractor should have the advantage of obtaining cheap materials for read) money price. After Counsel on both sides had been heard at length, the further hearing of the case was postponed to Thur:,, day, and the Court rose at Four o'Clock. WANDSWORTH PETTY SES. SIONS. (Thfore Mr. A. F. BAINBRIDGE.) A butcher, named Russell, residing at Wandsworth, ittended to answer a summons for using threatening language to a gentler .aan named Smith, also residing at Wandsworth, under rather peculiar circumstauces. It appears that at the hate Quarter Sessions at Kings ton, a man named Chaundy being at Wandsworth, preferred a charge against two labourers and a woman, of having robbed and assaulted him on the highway ; but the Grand Jury ignored the bill. Mr. Smith, knowing the good character of the accused, and being aware of the other circumstances of the case, instructed Counsel on their behalf. Mr. Chaundy ultimately preferred a charge of assault, which came on for trial, and, upon his being cross-examined by Mr. Cham bers, he made some revolting admissions as to his conduct towards women, and in reference to his own daughters ; and, on the part of the defence, it was stated that the assault had been committed by the male defendants, in defence of the female (the daughter of one of them), upon whom Chaundy had comm:tted a most gross assault. All the defendants, it appeared, bore a most e xcellent charac ter ; and the Jury, without a moment's hesitation, re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. It appears that, in consequence of Mr. Smith's hu mane interference on behalf of these poor persons, a few individuals connected with Chaundy have taken means of annoying him in every possible way, and on Friday night an attack was made upon him by several persons in one of the inns of the town, and they attempted to throw him into the river Wandle. A charge of assault, arising out of this transaction, subsequently came before the Magistrates, and as Mr. Smith was leaving the office, after giving evidence, the present defendant threatened that he would throw him into the river the first opportunity ; and this being said in the presence of the Magistrate, he advised Mr. Smith to take out the summons which this day came on for hearing. After evidence had been given, Mr. BAINBRIDGE or dered the defendant to enter into his own recognizances in 401., and two sureties in 201. each to keep the peace towards the complainant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Justice-room was very numerously attended yesterday by gentlemen, in consequence of the appoint ment made by the Lord Mayor and Sir Peter Laurie, to investigate a charge of receiving money under false pretences, preferred by Mr. H. S. Chapman, barrister at-law, and Secretary to the Metropolitan Anti-Corn law Association in the Strand, against Mr. S. J. Byng, calling himself Secretary to the National and Pro vincial Corn-law Board, No. 29, Tokenhouse-yard. It will be recollected that Mr. Byng's scheme was, towards the conclusion of the last Mayoralty, very com pletely exposed before Sir Chapman Marshall, and some surprise was manifested since Saturday last, when the parties appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, that there should be occasion for further investigation into the matter of complaint. Alderman Brown, Sir Peter Laurie, and Sir Chap man Marshall, sat with the Lord Mayor. There were present Mr. Warburton, M.P., Chairman of the Me tropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association ; Mr. Place, Chairman of the Business Committee of the Associa tion ; Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Travers, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Wilson, and several other gentlemen of the Committee of the Association. A Counsel attended upon the part of the defendant. Mr. Chapman, after having made some observations upon technical points started at the commencement by Alderman Brown, stated that he brought the charge of obtaining money under false pretences against Mr. Byng at the instance of the Association. The false pretences were partly set off in th e so rt of prospectus which Mr. Byng had issued, and partly shown by facts which the evidence would disclose. In the paper, or prospectus, the names of the gentlemen who constituted the Committee of the Association were copied, as if they sanctioned the proceedings of that person, and the introductory m atter was such as at the same time told the truth and f a voured the deceptio n . It s aid, " The following distinguished individu a l s , Members of Parlia ment, and other influential parties, have not only assisted in this righteous cause, but are pledged to a continuance of their powerful aid and support towards the accom plishment of this great national benefit." Then ap peared the high names of the Committee at the A6z,o elation, As if they formed the Committee of Mr. Byng's THE AV Y. The following alterations and promotions in the Roya Marines have taken place, viz : Admiralty, Nov. 13, 1840. REMOVED TO RETIRED FULL•PAY LlST.—Captain Charles Gray, Woolwich division ; Captain J.

The Admiralty have transmitted an order to the Board of Customs, to aid them in immediately raising additional seamen for the navy. We are enabled ex clusively to lay the following document on the subject before our readers I— " The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty hav ing signified their opinion that many men may now be obtained at the several ports, in consequence of the Baltic traders, whalers, and other ships having re turned, and requested that instructions may be given to the officers of the Coast Guard on the coasts of England and Wales, in the Friths of Forth and Clyde, at Dundee, Montrose, Aberdeen, Cork, Waterford, and Dublin, to use their best exertions to raise able and ordinary seamen for the Royal Navy, on the terms and regulations set forth in the instructions therein closed ; and their Lordships having further requested that the collectors and comptrollers of the revenue at the several ports may be desired to give information to the chief officers of Coast Guard, or to the officers in charge of the rendezvous, where there is one near them, when ever they are of opinion that good seamen can be ob• tained at any particular port ; " Minute, Board of Customs, Nov. 11, 1840.—That the officers of the Customs are desired to put them selves in communication with the principal officers of the Coast Guard within their district, with a view of giving effect to the intentions of the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty." THE LATE STORM. COLCHESTER.—On Friday last the village of Lexden was visited with a most terrific hurricane from the S. W. by S. Between one and two o'clock a dark narrow cloud was seen to descend over the village, when a thick blue haze appeared, which was succeeded by a deep hollow sound, like the roaring of distant thunder ; in a few seconds it was followed by a storm of hail, accom panied by a tornado, the effects of which were most frightful. It commenced its ravages at the Southern extremity of Miss Papillon's Park, severely damaging two houses. It then took its course in an oblique di rection across to Mr. Mills's Park, blowing down fourteen ►arge timber trees, and in several instances raised from ten to fifteen tons of earth with the roots. Other large trees were literally shattered to atoms, and scarcely a tree in the park escaped damage. In Mr. Mills's park nearly thirty large trees are torn up by the roots, and three times that number are so shattered that they must be taken down. The hurricane crossed the road in the centre of the village, blowing down an immense elm tree in front of the man sion of John De Horne, Esq. The tree fell across the road, and smashing the front and windows of Mr. De Horne's mansion, knocked in a great part of the roof. A large elm tree, in the latter gentleman's plantation, which was blown down, fell upon the stable, and smashed in the roof. In Mr. De Horne's plantation forty-eight of the largest trees arc blown down, others are snapped asunder ups% ards of twenty feet from the ground, and the whole plantation has the appearance of its being cannonaded, scarcely a tree having escaped. The damage in the village of Lexden is estimated at 1,0001 It is somewhat remarkable that Mr. Mills's gar dener's house, which is situated in the very centre of the spot, where the greatest destruction took place, is un touched, although thatched. Such a hurricane has not been experienced since 1795. It did not last two minutes. BOULOGNE, SATURDAY NIGHT.—It has blown a gale here all day and last night—violent beyond experience. A douanier was blown into the Lione and drowned about one o'clock a.m. I can easily believe that the poor man had been guilty of no neglect, for last night I saw his brethren on the quays grasping the posts with their arms to save them from the force of the tempest. There has been a rumour all day of a Calais packet lost—l hope an unfounded one ; but the English mail had not arrived at the usual hour. Our fortifications are at a stand, and will probably never be completed ; however, there are actually six guns mounted, some say twelve, but four must be out of sight. SouTuArarlros.—We are happy to say the damage done to the Southampton Ducks is not so extensive as was an ticipated, In the northern coffer-dam the work is resumed; in the two others the masonry and piling will again be in progress in the early part of next week, and active rues ' sures are pursued for again excluding the water from the close dock.—Hampshire Advertiser. MARKET IN TELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of November 17 .) SUGAR.—Since our last report there has been art in creased inactivity in the British Plantation Sugar market, although importers have submitted to a further reduction of ls, still the grocers have purchased very sparingly, taking barely sufficient for their immediate wants, and the re finers have scarcely made their appearance in the market : thet purchases have amounted to only 330 hhds and tierces, including 102 hhds Barbadoes at auction which sold heavily at the decline noticed above ; middling yellow went at 82s 6d, good middling 83s to 83s 6d, good 84s per cwt : of fine yellow descriptions of Sugar the supply is still short ; at present rates some of the merchants are not disposed to realize, and keep their samples from the market in expectation that a better demand will take place early in the new year. To-day the market was in a dull state, both grocers and refiners purchasing with extreme caution, and the private sales were so trifling that they are not worth enumerating ; prices accepted were in most cases in favour of buyers. At a public sale of 112 hhds Barbadoes the biddings were languid, and prices further gave way 6d per cwt, the principal part was however disposed of, mid yellow at 82s to 82s 6d, good mid and good 83s to 84s, fine 84s 6d to 85s per cwt.

COFFEE.—The Brit;sh Plantation market has again been in a dull state, the trade purchasing very sparingly, and barely sufficient for the supply of their immediate wants, prices are still on the decline, and unclean sorts, which are yet the most difficult to dispose of, have suffered a further depression of 3s ; clean qualities must also be quoted Is 6d a 2s cheaper. This afternoon there existed a fair demand for clean kinds of West India by private treaty, and former rates were supported ; but unclean sorts are difficult to dispose of, although offered at comparatively low prices. In East India there was little passing, but holders do not appear disposed to submit to lower rates : the only public sale was 89 bales fine green long berry Mocha, which went at 135 s to 13411 6d, being the full value. TEA.—To-day the trade evinced little desire to purchase, and by private treat) only a limited demand er.isted for Free Trade; some holders evinced less firmness, and ac cepted 2s 3Ad for common Congou for cash, At public sale, 303 chests of Fokien, 2,519 chests Congou, and 98 half chests black leaf Pekoe were offered ; the merchants being more inclined to meet the trade, led to the disposal of the principal part offered, and 2,600 packages were sold, but at a reduction on Friday of ; Congou, but mid coarse fresh and burnt went at 2s 4d to 2s 41d, but mid rather strong blackish leaf 2s 4id to 2s 44d; Black leaf Pekoe mid lit scntd 2s 6d ; Fokien liohea (duty Is 6d) ord Congou kind fiat and new os llid to 2s I lid, ord 2s I lAd per lb; the 300 pkgs taken in consisted of Congou.
