His bill was not calculated to meet the new circumstances which had arisen, owing to the increased demands of the agitators in that country, and it was therefore useless to pro- g the thanks of the house to the officers who had distinguished themselves in the recent events in Syria, the name of Sir Charles Felix Smith was given as Sir Charles Frederick Smith. Lord DUNCANNON moved that the error should be corrected by inserting theword " Felix" instead of . _ " Frederick," and observed that the error would have been of less consequence had it not been that there was another officer of the name of Frederick Smith in the same service. The motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned.

The antiquity of the system was great, and the duties were greater than was supposed, for the sheriffs principal had to decide all appeals from the county courts. Mr. HUME said the antiquity of an abuse was no recom mendation, and, for his own part, he regarded with great disgust anything that was established one hundred years ago. After some discussion the motion was negatived by a ma- jorqy of 86 to 37 Mr. COLQUHOUN moved for leave to bring in a bill to alter and amend the acts of the Irish parliament relating to the College of Maynooth. He had never been able to vote against the annual grant to this college, because he found that by the acts of the Irish parliament the most complete and important n given to it. Therefore it was that he felt ik the house to alter those laws as a prelimi nary step to prevent a continuance of the grant, now that the government had ceased to have any control over the college.

The bill was accordingly read a second time. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. ACCIDENTS AT SEA.-APATHY OF THE GOVERNMENT. The commissioners appointed, in 1838, to inquire into the causes of steam-vessel accidents during the ten preceding years, enumerate about a hundred such occurrences, and 634 lives lost during that period. Nearly half these accidents ''appened within the last three years of the period; 22, with oss of 137 lives, in the space of 15 months only, from January, 18" to April, 1830. Since that time the number has increased • and three vessels, the Tyrian, the City of Boulogne, and the Governor Fenner, have perished by colli sions alone since the spring of 18-10. In every one of these cases the fatal result might have been prevented if govern ment had thought proper to introduce such legislative reme dies as were recommended by the commissioners and the two committees which precede::: them. The chief causes of the-c) :.,isasters have been the founder ing, &c., of vessels at sea from unseaworthiness ; the bursting lers from the want of strength, or the use of improper and collisions, from the want of an of road," and a uniform system of imers, fit only for river navigation, re often built for sale, puffed off in advertisements as splendid vessels, bought by individuals or companies ignorant of what a steamer ought to be, and afterwards seat to sea. This was the case with the unfortunate Rothsay Castle, in which 119 souls perished. It was equally so with the Aurora, which would probably•have been wrecked on her first voyage had it not been for the judgment and deter mination of an individual passenger. Boilers and machinery are constantly worked after they are completely unfit for use. The Forfarshire, and the Abbey, two vessels wrecked, the one in September, 1838, the other in March, 1839, were both sent to sea with boilers leaking, and patched up in the most disgraceful manner. Those of Abbey were plugged with horse-dung, old ropes, and hemp ! In the Forfarshire, whose owners knew in what condition she was when she put to sea, 45 lives were lost. Numerous and`dreadful explosions have been caused by the practice, which; down to 1839, was gene- safety-valves, ascertained ral in Scotch-built steamers, of using exposed and accessible safety-valves, which worthless engineers frequently overload or tie down for the purpose of gaining an extraordinary de gree of velocity at starting. Accidents have also been caused by the absence of steam-pressure guages and glass water guages, and by the inadequacy of safety-valves in point of size. The employment of unfit persons as engineers has been a fruitful source of mischief. A third class of disasters—as in the case of the Governor Fenner—arises from collision,:and to remedy this the com missioners recommended a way of reducing every different usage to an uniform system by positive enactment. The Governor Fenner and the Nottingham steamer. meeting on the high seas at night (the ship being without any external lights,) attempted to pass each other—there is no uniformly recognised and authoritative rule—the two vessels acted on two different rules, and in fact steered into, instead of away from, each other. The Governor Fenner, with her 122 souls on board, went down. Whether she was or was not sea worthy (emigrant ships are too often the contrary, even un der the compulsory survey system), is not at present the question—she perished by a collision which could never have happened had any uniform rule to govern ships and steamers in passing been established by law. _ The conversation which took place in the House of Com mons on Thursday last is not calculated to diminish the indig nation with which all humane persons must view the apathy of government upon this subject. Mr. Labouchere said, that he considered it more expedient to wait, till the different outports chose to adopt the rule laid down by the Trinity house, which be says may " probably" be " before long," than to settle the question immediately by law. A general custom, he thinks, will soon establish itself ; and when it does, that custom will be noticed in the Admiralty Courts as much as it it were law. But what, we ask, is to happen in the mean time ? Are we to have more Governor Fenners run down, merely to gratify Mr. Labouchere's preference for a custom over a law ? more emigrants expatriated by politi cal economy on shore, and slaughtered by carelessness at sea? Human nature revolts against the policy of " leaning to the side of doing nothing," in .such a case as this : and the British public, who know that a legislative interference on this subject has been recommended by repeated com mittees and commissions, will require some better justifica tion for non-interference than the assertion that such a resolution was adopted " upon consulting the Trinity Board, before the late melancholy accident." The 122 lives sacri d since that consultation are 122 reasons for interfering, 't for the Trinity Board or fifty which it would be ire so- many in the world, town- „DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE, BY AN OFFICER OF THE 60th RIFLES. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING, Six O'CLOCK. Considerable excitewent was created throughout the town this morning, in consequence of a report that an officer of the 60th rifles had made a most determined attempt at self destruetion. at his room, in the infantry barracks, in Sheet street. Upon our informant making the necessary inquiries at the barracks, the utmost mystery was observed respecting the affair, which was attempted to be kept as secret as pos- The following particulars, which may be relied upon for correctness, were, however, obtained : , . The gentleman who made so determined, but, fortunately, ineffectual attempt upon his life, is First Lieut. H. W. Ellis, who is rather more than 30 years of age, and who has been in the regiment about 12 years. It appears that his man servant, upon calling him, this morning, as usual, about nine o'clock, was told to " come in." He noticed that the voice of his master was much weaker than usual, and that he ap peared to speak as if with some difficulty. Upon entering the apartment, he discovered his master lying in bed, who told him he was dyi,ng, but not to be alarmed. On the ser vant going to him, he found the unfortunate gentleman with his throat dreadfully cut from ear to ear, bleeding most pro fusely, and the bed and clothes literally saturated with blood. He immediately gave an alarm, and then proceeded to seek for the surgeon of the regiment. Assistant-Surgeon Fer gusson was almost immediately in attendance. Surgeon H. Irase;aialso speedily on the spot, as well as Mr. Fowler, a medical gentleman residing in Sheet-street, who was sent for to assist the regimental surgeons. Upon exami~iing Lieutenant Ellis, it was discovered that his throat was cut from the left ear towards the right, and that anot:acr similar wound had been inflicted, proceeding from near the right ear downwards. The razor with which the wounds had been inflicted was found lying on the dress ing -table, close to the bed, covered with blood. At a late hour this afternoon his state of exhaustion con tinued to become more and more alarming, and his recovery was considered still more doubtful than at an earlier period of the day. He spoke rationally for some time, but nothing has escaped his lips as to the cause of his present calamitous situation. _ Lielltenant Ellis is a young man of good property ; and upon the decease of his mother, he will come into possession of upwards of £5OOO a year. [We regret to learn, from the papers of last night, that the unfortunate gentleman during the night of Tuesday was seized with violent fits of vomiting, and expired a few minutes be fore noon on Wednesday, with scarcely a struggle. From the moment of his being discovered by his servant on Tuesday morning until the period of his death, the pulsation at the wrist was not perceptible, andhe continued gradually to sink, from complete exhaustion, until his decease. Indeed, from the first moment his medical attendants gave no hopes of his recovery.] Mr. Justice Williams inquired whether there were any counsel for the prosecution. On being answered in the ne gative, the learned judge proceeded in his own person to examine the witnesses, whose testimony, for the most part, was similar in effect to the evidence adduced at the trial of Lord Cardigan. After the conclusion of the evidence Mr. Justice Williams addressed the jury, saying he was ignorant of the cause, and was at a loss to know for what reason no one had appeared on behalf of the prosecution—a circumstance he very much regretted, because it had imposed upon him (the learned judge) the somewhat difficult and arduous task of examining the witnesses, in order to bring the facts of the case as clearly as possible , before them (the jury). Now that the evidence was exhausted, it remained for him.(Mr. Justice Williams) to remark, that there was no case whatever to be submitted to the jury. Not that he meant to say there was no duel fought. They were as well aware as he himself was, that a duel had taken place on the 12'..;1 of September, and at the place in question—Wimble don Common. There was also little or no moral doubt that the gentlemen whose names had been mentioned were implicated in that duel; but they (the jury) were aware, Clot the indictment charged the prisoner with having fired a pistol at and against one Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett, with intent thereby to destroy him, or to wound and disable him. Now it was essential that a man bearing the name of Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett should be proved to be the individual who was shot at on the day in question by the prisoner at the bar. Of the fact there was not one tittle of evidence. He (the learned judge) had spoken of the " card" to which the witness Dann bad alluded, be cause he thought it was, to a certain extent, evidence against the prisoner, but as it appeared that he (Captain Douglas) did not hear what was said at the time the card was delivered to the witness, that could not fix the prisoner as being a party to the production of the card ; but if it could the circum stance would not have the object of forwarding the present inquiry. He (Mr. Justice Williams) had seen the card, and the name of Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett did not appear upon it at all. The name upon the card was Captain Harvey Tuckett. The name of the person shot at, as described in the indictment, was, therefore, without proof. Furthermore, no person bad sworn to Captain Douglas being on the spot when and where the duel was fought. Nay, on the contrary, Mrs. Dann, on being questioned as to the identity of the parties, said she believed him (Captain Douglas) to be the wounded man, Captain Tuckett. The only evidence was, that three quarters of an hour afterwards this gentleman was pointed out by Lord Cardigan, but there was no proof of the identity of the prisoner, nor of the person who was shot at on the day in question. In short the evidence had totally failed to substantiate the charge laid in the indictment, and there fore the prisoner must be acquitted. The jury without hesitation pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoner, after bowing to the judges and jury, left the court in company with the officers who had remained at the bar during the trial. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-SATURDAY MESSRS. WRIGRTS' BANKRUPTCY. Saturday, at one 'o'clock, having been fixed for the ad journed examination of Messrs. Biddulph, Wright, and Co., the court was much crowded with merchants and gentlemen who formerly banked with the firm, and who now attended to prove their debts. The debts proved amounted to nearly £lOO,OOO, and among the principal creditors were the well-known Mr. Crockford, who proved, under a bond, dated the 3d of June, 1839, signed by W. Jerningham and others, to secure the payment of £38,250 to H. Grey Wyar and John Hemming, Esqrs., and by them assigned to Mr. Crockford in conside ration of the sum of £35,750.

Dr. Lushington said the better ? —You are of Of le that he could hat the less that, is th the evidence _ Sentence of separation was then signed. NEW COURT THE LATE DUEL .WEDNESDAY WIMBLEDON-TRIAL OF CAPTAI JOUGLAS About half-past 10 o'clock this morning Captain Douglas entered the court and surrendered himself into the custody of Mr. Cope, the governor of Newgate ; and, in the course of an hour's time, Mr. Justice Williams took his seat on the bench, where the Common-Sergeant was already sitting. . Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, and Mr. Bodkin appeared as counsel for the prisoner. The name of John Douglas having been called by the clerk of indictments, Captain Douglas appeared at the bar, accom panied by several military friends, who, at the instigation of Mr. Thesiger, were allowed to remain with him during the trial. Captain Douglas was then arraigned at the bar,—the clerk of indictments addressing him in these words :—John Doug las, you are indicted, for that you on the 12th of September last, at the parish of Wandsworth, with a certain pistol loaded with gunpowder and a leaden bullet, at and against Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett, did feloniously and unlaw fully shoot, with intent thereby feloniouily and wilfully and of malice aforethought to kill and murder the said Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett. On the second count you are charged with shooting at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett as aforesaid, with intent thereby to maim and disable him. On the third count, with shooting at the said Harvey Gar nett Phipps Tuckett with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Are you guilty or not guilty ? The prisoner answered in a firm and distinct voice " Not Guilty." _ THE EASY MAN There is no human being walks through this life in a way more peculiar to himself than the easy man. The hopes and fears, the joy and anguish, which worry and harass the rest of mankind, are unknown to him ; he came into this world he knows not how—he jogs through it just because he sees other people doing so—he eats and drinks, sleeps soundly, and dies easily—and when he is buried, the sexton, as he stands in the half-filled grave, sticks his spade in it for a moment—and takes snuff. The easy man is generally of a middle stature, stout, with cheeks having a kind of rough ness like a fowl with feathers off, rosy however, and streaked like a winter pear. There is usually a little watery saliva at the corners of his mouth, and in cold weather his proboscis has a drop hanging from it like a diamond in the nose of a Persian queen. He wears an everlasting drab great coat, green leather gloves, and a hat slightly turned up behind. His trowsers in summer—they are a very old pair —are usu ally too short for him, and display glaring white worsted stockings ; his hair appears to obey no sort of arrangement ; and :he was never seen with an umbrella in his life. He speaks always in a kind of cosy whisper, as if he was con versing with his wife under a coverlit. He has a look of uni versal benignity, and breathes heavily through his nose. He is fond of using the word " sir," and sticks it into his sentences oftener than other people. He takes off his hat in banks and attorney's offices, and has a guise of inoffensiveness which nobody can mistake. One of these men, a few months ago, took it into his thick head to write a letter• to the Times. It was a short one, to be sure, but on an important subject, be ing no less than an inquiry why London should not be fortified as well as Paris? "We are getting frightened, Sir, in the city," concluded the easy man, in his cosy, cheeping, shrug. shoulder phraseology. Now, had there been an in vasion, that fellow. and all his kind, would have been of about just as much use as so many bolsters. It is odd, but these men are always married, and have usually a great number of chubby-faced children, with stupid counte nances and dirty noses. How all this came about—how these men could have made love, " popped the question"— to use that abominable way of expressing it—and volun tarily put their necks into the matrimonial noose, is a mys tery and a riddle which staggered Solomon himself. One would think that if woman was banished from the earth, or indeed had never existed in it, it would have been a matter of perfect indifference to him ; and yet they are at once detected by the sex as marrying men. They make good husbands in their way, if they do not happen to marry a lady of " poetic temperament"—in that case, to use a "it is all up with thern•" How ever their capacity for suffering is marvellous; and if the devil should have given them a poetess for a wife, he cannot deprive them of the blessed serenity of a vacant mind. A chronicler of small beer would have made him happy ; yet, bad as matters are, the easy man can yet smoke his pipe, and thank God they are no worse. To look in the face of one of snorers, it is easy to see that he does not care live shillings for the fall of man. Had Eve, indeed, never eaten the for bidden fruit, he would have taken his share of the enjoy ments of Paradise decorously ; but as it is, the easy man is by no means distressed about it. The beauties of nature, the harmony of the universe, and the national debt, are things which never enter into his mind. The rise and fall of em pires—the revolutions of nations—the starry heavens—animal magnetism—and the shortness of human life, are subjects which affect him not—he lives and breathes—he is one of the herd—he dies and is forgotten.—Courl Gazette. common expression SALE OF THE AMERICAN PACKET-SHIP PRESIDENT. — The American line-of-packet ship President, that lately went on the Nore Sand, has been sold by public auction, in the Captains'-room, at Loyds', for £B3O. MINISTERIAL STRATAGEMS.—The exertions of the go vernment to bring up their supporters on the 25th ult. were unparalleled. Sir T. Wilde, though labouring under the most severe indisposition, was brought to the house at the immi nent risk of his life. In fact a room off the lobby—since not inaptly styled " the infirmary" —was crowded with invalids, until summoned into the body of the house by the sound of the division bell. Amongst the invalids were Mr. Byng, the aged and infirm representative for Middlesex ; Mr. Fyshe Palmer ; Lord Charles Russell, with a fractured collar-bone ; Lord Douglas Hallyburton in a state of imbecility ; and, to his eternal shame be it spoken, Sir Thomas Troubridge, w hose daughter, a young lady of seventeen years of age, lies still a corpse in his house. All these voted in the majority, with the exception of Lord Douglas Hallyburton, and he was removed before the division took place. Of course, those who could insist, on a Lord of the Admiralty, outraging every d ec ency of life, by giving his vote under such circumstances, could have no compunction in exhibiting hutriarinit; most degraded and pitiable form, in the person of Lord Douglas Hallyburton, if there was a possibility of ren dering his vote available. And now, to account wby it was that the Treasury whippers refrained from tendering the noble lord's vote : According to the rules of the House of Commons, it is competent to any member to object to another member's voting, on the plea that the member objected to had not heard the question put. In such a case, the Speaker is obliged to call such member to the table, who, on being in formed of the objection that has been taken, is asked from the chair to state what the question is, upon which he is going to vote. Now, Lord Douglas Hallyburton is quite incom petent either to understand the nature of any question pro. posed to him, or even to repeat the simplest question when deliberately read to him. The Treasury whippers having got wind that Lord Douglas's vote would have been objected to on the grounds I have stated, removed the noble lord from the house.—Dublin Evening Mall.

SEA LlFE.—What can there be in the bare abstract sea life, that it is so all-surpassing, so many-seducing? If a man, with reverence be it said, be fond of any one pursuit natural to man or boyhood, he must resign it at sea; if he love angling, or archery, or bells, or belles, or billiards, or his children, or cricket, or dancing, or driving, or elegance, or eating, or his father, or family, or fishing, or fowling, or gardening, or hunting, or horses, or independence, or leisure, or love, or music, his mistress, or his mother, or news, or novelty, or research, or racing, or shooti ng , or se ating, or travelling, or tennis, or his wife, or—or—or—indeed any thing, in short, save salt beef and salt water, let him stay ashore.—Society in India. PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.--A fortnight since, a poor person, residing in Mount-street, Bangor, forwarded a very handsomely carved wooden spoon to Buckingham Palace, with a request that it would be accepted f or the use of the infant princess royal. Ou Friday last she received a commu nication from Sir H. Wheatley, statin g th a t h er majesty had been graciously pleased to receive the spoon, and that he had been commanded to present to the sender the sum of £5. The gracious acceptance of this humble offering, when so many richer gifts had been declined, shows that our gracious sovereign has not forgotten her sojourn in Wales.—Carnar von Herald. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AT THE STEVENTON STATION.—An accideat of a fatal nature, aris ing from excessive carelessness on the part of the unfortunate deceased, occurred to a man upwards of 60 years of age, on the afternoon of Thursday last, who was knocked down (as he was incautiously crossing the line) by the half-past four o'clock train from Wootton-Bassett to Paddington. The poor fellow, who got his living by selling fruit, was struck by a projecting portion of the engine on the head, and his death must have been instantaneous ; for upon his receiving imme diate assistance life was found to'be extinct, arising from a severe wound on the head. But very few drops of blood oozed from the wound. It should be observed that there is a footpath which crosses the lines at the place where the ac cident occurred, where the company's men are stationed to endeavour to prevent accidents occurring through the care lessness of the public. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM THE FLEET PRISON.--On Sunday night Sir William Boyd, who has been confined in the Fleet Prison for debt since November last, made a second attempt to escape from that place of confinement. In both instances, however, through the caution and sagacity of the turnkeys, his endeavours were fortunately (for the warden) frustrated. On the first occasi on (Friday last) having dressed himself in female attire, with bonnet, veil, curls, &c., he managed to pass through the outer gate. The turnkey, how ever, suspecting something wrong, followed him as far as Charing-cross, where, in order, it is presumed, to breathe a purer atmosphere, he raised his veil, when the turnkey, seiz ing the opportunity, stepped forward with, " I beg your par don"—madam, he would have said, but for his having at once recognised in the person of the would-be lady his truant prisoner, whom he instantly, in as polite a manner as possi ble, handed into a cab, and re-conveyed to his old quarters. On Tuesday night he again made a futile attempt to escape in the garb of a Jew, with false large black whiskers, a long beard and wig, and his face saturated with some ingredient wuich gave his countenance altogether a peculiarly Jewish cast. Here, again, however, he was foiled, and the adroit ness of the turnkeys was again apparent, as they instantly recognised him on his making his appearance between the gates. He was quickly stripped of his ornaments, and con veyed to the strong room, where the warden is determined he shall remain so l ong as h e re mains under his jurisdiction. BUSTS OF THE Tw_ILVE CIESADS—SINGULAR DISCO VERY OF SP LENDID WORKS OF ART.—About the year 1518 twelve busts of the Reiman Emperors, executed in terra cotta, beautifully enamelled, and nearly the size of life, were forwarded to Cardinal Wolsley, to decorate his palace of Hampton Court, by Pope Leo the Tenth. Eight of the se splendid works of art h ave a l wa ys existed in the first and s, . cond courts at the palace • but not one of the . remaining foul, to complete the va l ua bl e 'series, could be found until within the last few months, although many years ago very stri c t search had been ma d e f or th e m by thr various authorities connected with Hampton Court. In the reign of George the Fourth the search and inquiries were again renewed, but without any discovery. A few m o - :ths ago one of the missing four was by mere chance discovered in a back-room at Hamp tin Court Palace. attached to one of the private aparments, anotr in a fine state o f preservat i on . Since then series has been r ecovere d, an d that by the merest he chance of the nce also, in a small cottag e c l ose to the stag paddocks in Windsor Great park. It appears that this cottage had just undergone some repairs preparatory to its being occupied by one of the Prince Albert's gamek e epers. The workmen in th e course of their occupation f oun d a bust fixed in the wall, a b out 10 feet from the ground, an d upon this discovery reaching the ears of a gentleman connected with the court, he proceeded to the cottage, when he found it was one of the fo ur long lost works, perf ec tl y f ree f rom injury, and in a most excel lent state of prese rva ti on . It was immediately taken down, and soon afterwards fo r warded to Hampton Court. Wi t hi n the last few days another of these valuable works of art was discovered by Mr. Jesse t h e s urveyor of woods and work s the great park, known a t one of the roy a l l o 'd ge s in inha . bited by one of the a s the World's E n d L o dge, par k keepers. It was f oun d set into the external wall, about ten or twelve feet from the g round, where it m us t h ave been for considerably more than a century. It wa s a l ways c onsidered by the pe rsons living at the . lodge to be a b us t o f Queen Anne. Of so little value was it supposed to. house, be that stones and the boys of the nei g hb our ho o d. as they passed by the frequently amused the ms elves by pelting it with . clay. Notwithstanding this rough usage, it is but very slightly injured. It has been carefully removed from the building, and will be forwarded to Hampton Court Palace in the course of a few d a y s , w h ere , with the other two alluded to, it will be placed i n appropriate niches in the first and second Courts. There is now only the twelfth of the series which remains to be disccovered.

MARKET, MARCH 2. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6 Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour, and par. ticularly of Oats and Oatmeal, from Ireland, have been pretty con siderable, but of all grain from other quarters they have been very moderate. There has been a fair steady demand during the past week for every article in the Corn Trade here and in our country markets, and the prices last quoted have been generally obtained, excepting for Irish Wheat, on which a decline of Id to 2d per 701 b has been submitted to. The only alteration, on Friday last, in the duties on Grain from foreign ports is a decrease of is 6cl per quarter on Rye. Some further parcels of Bonded Flour, here and on the passage, have changed hands, at 25s to 25s 6d per barrel, and some few purchases, for export, have been made at 2os, at which this article is now ge nerally held, and in consequence, the spirit of speculation has a little subsided; in bonded grain little has ,been done, and prices quoted almost nominally. At this day's market we experienced a dulness. influenced by the decline in Mark-lane yesterday, and sales were made only to a very moderate extent of Wheat at a decline of Id to 2d per 70Ib, apd of other articles at barely the prices of this day week.

This morning the Cotton market received a momentary check by the intelligence received of the stoppage of the United States and several other banks; it was all conjecture what effect this news would have upon prices, and the demand almost ceased. The Exchange was inundated with Cotton spinners, who had come down V.l witness the Steeple-chase, more than to purchase Cotton, and though there was an unusual degree of gloom about the market, the demand revived, and we closed the account with 2500 to 3000 bales, at prices a shade lower than those of Monday and Tuesday ; many of the buyers deferring their purchases until the receipt of further intelligence by the packet of the 13th ultimo, telegraphed at an early hour off Great Ormshead. THURSDAY EVENING. It having been pretty generally ascertained that the disastrous American commercial intelligence, given at length in our columns, would have' no material effect upon the prices of Cotton, the gloom we noticed yesterday had considerably subsided, and the market opened with more animation and a decidedly improved feeling. Confidence was partially restored, and we can report upon a business of 4000 bales, at prices much on a par with Friday last, that is a shade lower than those of Monday. Holders show no anxiety to realize, and the supply is not more than is necessary to meet the demand : the purchasers have a natter selection than for the last ten days. Boweds are mok plentiful than Orleans Cotton, and the transactions in the latter description have been very limited to-day. FROM THE LONDON PRICES CURRENT, March 2, 1841. Sugar.—There was an increased disinclination evinced on the part of the trade to purchase British Plantation, and the market was in a dull state so.limited a, - e the transactions that they are not worth enumerating. _ . . _ Foreign.—The market was firm for all descriptions, and brown sorts were in fair demand for, both shipping and refining under bond ; few parcels were offering for sale. Coffee.—There was little passing in either East or West India, and prices have still a downward tendency. Tea.—There was an increased demand for Free trade, and prices improved. Rum, Brandy and Hollauds.—The operations in Rum were on a small scale only, and rather lower rates were accepted; also of proof Leewards were made at 28 4id to Is to 2s 5d per gallon. The Government contract for 100,000 gallons Rum, half to be from British possessions, has been taken by Messrs. Mohon and Simonds, at the low rate of 2s Id 3-l6ths proof strength, being a reduction on the contract of November last of yd per gallon. Brandy, of the vintage of 1836, has been in fair request .for home use, and price§, are firm. For Geneva a fair demand has prevailed, 2s to 25 Id paid for pale, and 2s 6d to 2s 8d for fine, for home consump tion. British Corn Spirits have met with a slow sale at lOs cash. Tallow.—Prices were * firm for P. Y. C. at 46s 6d on the spot, and 46s 3d for delivery, and a fair business was done. Provisions.—The Irish Butter market has been in a dull state and to dispose of small parcels holders 'have been compelled to submit to a further reduction of is per cwt. Prices have improved a little for Bacon, and there has bean a steady demand. Lard has met with a slow sale ; 69s to 70s is the value of prime Waterford bladdered. India Mess Beef and Pork have been in good request.
