Publin Wriei ly Magazine. Curry, Dublin : Liverpool The conclusion of " Charles 0' Malley " commences the number•for " dark and drear December. " The " Letters from the coast of Clare " are concluded also. They have been written in a good spirit, have abounded with anecdote, and will, no doubt, do the " coast of Clare " good. Many ) Kilrush could they but enjoy the pleasure of the company of the writer of these clever letters. The " Por trait Gallery ".is occupied by Sir Henry Marsh, Bart. " His counterfeit resemblance " does not flatter him on the score of beautyf The Rev. Mr. Gleig's work—" Memoirs of War- would go t ren Hastings "comes again under the notice of the reviewer, whose opinion may be thus summed up : Mr. Gleig's " Me moirs of Warren Hastings' form, unquestionably, a valu able contribution to the history of British India. This, we is chiefly owing to the number of original papers. ss of these closely printed documents, must s There is a r, in our judgment, most perfectly the main object of their publication ; namely, the vindication of Has tings. Mr. Gleig has, we believe, done wisely in allowing Hastings to be his own biographer, but the papers, numerous and they ans —though not too many for their purpose—give the volumes a broken and unconnected appearance, and very much lessen the appearance of the narrative. The work will always be of value for the library. The author will still further serve the memory of Hastings by giving those who have not lei sure for large books, a more compendious account of him. Professor Wilson and Mr. Chalmer's " Land of Burns" is again noticed. " The Tale of the Indian Seas" improves ; the interest increases. The neat article is_part 3 of " The Proposal for the Reconciliation of the Protestant and Roman Catholic Churches." The writer may, and no doubt does, mean well, but he has a " bee in his bonnet,"—a brief, and as it appears, a hasty reply is made to the proposal : the letter - and reply are, however, worth consideration. " Sir Thomas • ; Molyneux's Life" is concluded. The lover of biography will read this paper with equal pleasure as those that have preceded it on'the same subject. Three recently published pamphlets on Ireland are next reviewed, con chiding this number. Blackwood. December.—Blackwood, Edinburgh One of the most interesting papers that have appeared in Blackwood for some time, is that which attracts our atten tion on first'opening the number. It is entitled "Modern Schools of Art in France, Belgium, and Switzerland." To this paper we draw the attention of all our countrymen who have a love for the arts. It shows the rapid progress making abroad in all'departments. It is devoutly to be wished that the British Government would follow the example of the French, whose encouragement to arts and artists is produc tive of'the very best results. The commission just appointed to inquire into the subject of the state of the Fine Arts in this ,country may, perhaps, lead to something beneficial taking' place-, and be the means of elevating the British school'. In the paper before ns we have a complete history of the painters of the above named countries, with their various styles,-capabilities, and excellencies. The writer awards the palm to the French painters who, it appears, are making great efforts in their various departments. We have lately in spected some French works of art of a very brilliant charac ter, 'beautiful both in conception and colouring, surpassing certainly anything we have seen proceeding from an English easel., We should nave given this article entire, but its extreme length will• prevent us. We, however, recommend careful perusal of it. Our academicians here should, by all means, study it. 1 ! Hints to Authors," second series, is on the epistolary. Some laughable specimens in the science of letter writing are given. " Sketches of Italy" are continued. The antiquarians , of Ancona are smartly shown up and ridi culed, as, is also the opera in that place. The sketch of Bologna .is extremely entertaining. The accounts of the celebrated shrines there are curious enough. Mr. Simmons contribiltes a poem entitled the " Peak of Darra." It is written with much ability. " Philosophic Nuts," is a re view Of a work by Mr. Johnson. The author of Philosophic Nut.i appears to have,a capital opinion of himself. Whether that-opinion will be lowered a peg or two by the review of his work, or not . , remains to be seen. The student will be glad to find " The Verdict on the Homeric Questions" delivered. .These interesting papers, we suppose, are now closed. Thomas Aird contributes a' Churchyard Eclogue,' in which half a - dozen ghosts hold a spiritual conversation. " The World of London," part 7, gives us some account of the strangers' constantly residing in it. This paper contains some unjustifiable and untrue observations on the character of the high. It is gate clear the writer has lost his money through the agency of some Patlander—perhaps been laughed at into the bargain —or- has taken a violent prejudice against a whole nation. He condemns with a very broad sweep of the pen. No wonder Sandy should be pre ferred to Paddy, when we reflect where Blackwood comes from. There are as' many good Irishmen as Scotchmen, only the writer of the " World of London" does . not, or will not, 'seem to know it. " Tittle-tattle of a Philosopher" is a review of a German work, enti tled'Meine Lebensreise (My Journey through Life), in six stagei. It is amusingly told. The late disastrous fire in the Tower of London has prompted a very cleverly written and highly interesting article on that celebrated fortress. In fact, it is a concise history of it, and will be read with avi dity. Some of the particulars are curious. Mention is made of Blood's attempt to carry off the crown jewels. A full account of this piece of daring atrocity will be found in Lambert's Survey of London. We have often been sur prised -that some of our novelists, who appear to delight in dressing up villany in the most choice and fashionable garbs, have not taken this circumstance as a groundwork for a story, or interwoven it in a recital. William Aytoun's poem of " Blind old Milton" is cleverly written. It abounds with poetic beauty. Colonel Maxwell's work, entitled " A Run through the United States," is reviewed. Many of the re viewer's opinions appear identical with those expressed by a local contemporary, whose love for the Americans and Ame rica often draws from him articles of great ability and refine ment. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. No. XXXIV, Blackwood and Sous, Edinburgh. This number contains the conclusion of the history of the county of Stirling, and commences with part of that of the county of Orkney. It is illustrated by an excellent map of Kirkcudbrightshire. The number abounds with interesting and valuable statistical details. The accounts of the Orkney Islands are especially well worth reading and remark. We have their topography, natural history, antiquities, &c., fully given ; as well as statements relative to the manners, occu pations, and customs of the people. The fine effects of the free trade system are shown in this work. In the manufacture of kelp a few years ago the popu lation of the Orkneys derived an excellent living, and found constant and profitable employment. The introduction of Spanish Lardla at a very low duty, through the instrument ality and at the instigation of the late Lord Sydenham, then Mr. Poulett Thompson, completely destroyed the kelp trade, and reduced the population of these islands to comparative if not positive poverty. It has had this effect, however—the islanders are, now prosecuting the fisheries to some extent, and turning their attention to the cultivation of land, which offers great inducements, being capable of immense improve ment., It really appears to us surprising that persons should turniheir thoughts to the far west—endure long voyages—run great-risks, toil and hardships—when, if they would look nearer home, they might find good employment for their ca pital. In the Orkneys it is clearly shown by the statements made in this work, that men of small capital, of industrious habits and experience, would find great advantages, and the results of their settlement would be beneficial in an extraor dinary degree, both CO themselves and the islands. Labour is cheap, a ploughman getting 1.7 is., and meal, &c. ; a day labourer only Is. 3d. Meat is but 3d. per lb ; poultry Bd. each ; eggs 2d. a dozen. To the sportsman the islands offer great inducements, as it seems that all sorts of fish are in abundance, from a trout up to a whale; while birds, from a starling to an eagle, are objects for the shooter's skill, in great numbers. A perusal of this work will repay any one. Very much ignorance prevails, in England at least, respect ng these islands, and we recommend this number especially to general notice. If our legislators would turn their attention to the Orkneys, great improvements are capable of being ef fected in them, and the state of distress in which the inhabi tants are occasionally thrown, might be obviated. This sta tistical history of Scotland is one of the most valuable addi tions that can be made to a library. The Anti-Socialist Gazette. Edited and published by John Brindley. Davies, John-street. Liverpool. Mr. Brindley comes out in full force this month. He is the most persevering and undaunted champion of a cause we ever met with; he appears to " run a muck" at all denomi nations of infidels, and no sooner does he upset one class, than his lance is set in the rest and he charges at another. He has enough on his hands at present—Socialists, Mormon ites, Atheists, and Chartists—are all the objects of his attack, and most ably does he carry on his war of extermination. We only 'hope the public will support him in his good cause and meritorious labours. His opponents cannot say he is afraid of them, for whenever they do him the honour to wish for a meeting, then up he starts, face to face with the best of them. The Anti-Socialist Gazette, we perceive, is rapidly extending in its sale —every where it is becoming asked for. In the present number we have some able arti cles and curious particulars. Mr. Briudley' s letter to Sir Robert Peel is a most talented production : it shows up the t that clever T he wretched old sinner Ro bert Owen, in true colour s . letter to Publicola is a s earching exposition of writer's follal:ies and sophistries.

We re commend this publication to n o ti ce , w hi c h for fearlessness, de- termination, boldness of style and spirit, is equal to any of the present day. Charles O'Malley, XXI. and XXII. Walmsley, Liverpool. The present part concludes the story of " Charles O'Malley." In it we find the hero hurried from the Duchess of Richmond's ball, at Brussels, to carry orders to the troops of Lord Wellington, to meet the French, under Buonaparte. We find O'Malley engaged at Quatre Bras, taken prisoner, and having an interview with the Emperor, who tries, but in vain, to sift him of his information. While a prisoner, he finds Sir George Dashwood, also a captive, and aids in his escape. Scenes in the French lines are cleverly narrated, previous to, and during, the battle of Waterloo. This is, we consider, a happy turn of the story, as it gives us an insight into the conduct of Buonaparte during that eventful period. An animated description of the battle of Waterloo follows; and the brilliant charges and conflicts which took place are detailed in a masterly manner. How the heart sickens at the recital of that bloody day, when man met man in bitterest hate : and for what? To satisfy the ambition of one man, who could, as described, see thousands mowed down like grass. The marriage of the gallant soldier, and his settling down quietly " in Galway," wind up the number ; and thus is concluded one of the most spirited, amusing, and enter taining stories of the day—and which has proved the author to be a man of unquestionable talent and ability. The illus trations are good, as usual. In this part we have three sketches and a vignette. The cool impudence, but disgraceful imposition, of the New York Sunday Timee, in publishing a story with Harry Lorrequer's name attached as the author, has drawn forth some clever and droll remarks in L'Envoi. The Comminioner, de Lunatico Enquirendo. Curry, Dub lin : Walmsley, Liverpool. A. new publication, under this title, has made its appear ance. It is written in a caustic, satirical style, and hits hard at men and manners. We must see more of it before we give a decided opinion. It is illustrated by sketches, in the manner of 0' Malley and Lorrequer. DEATH OF DR. BIRKBECK (Front Thursday's Standard.) This well-known medical and philanthropic individual expired yesterday morning at a quarter before six, at his house 38, Finsbury-square, after the most prolonged and severe sufferings, which he, however, bore with extreme fortitude, and even cheerfulness. For many years the doc tor bad been afflicted with an internal disease of the most distressing description, which did not, however, though of so painful a character, prevent him following the most active pursuits. Although Dr. Birkbeck was fully persuaded that the disease would terminate in death, yet till within the last six or seven days the near approach of dissolution was not anticipated by either himself or his friends, and he had been able to receive patients so lately as this day week. Dr. Birkbeck had, at an early period of his life, established a mechanics' class at Glasgow, which was so successful as to induce him, in the year 1822, to found the London Mecha nics' Institution in Chancery-lane, and to which society he nobly lent the sum of £3,000, to enable them to erect a the atre suitable for the purposes of delivering lectures, &c., of which institution he was elected president, and continued to hold that office till his decease. From this, the parent insti tution, various other similar societies have been established in almost every considerable town in Great Britain—some attended with more, some with less, success. Although Dr. B. did not hold office in any of the many benevolent institutions with which this metropolis so happily abounds, yet, as an honorary member, he was attached to almost every one. As a politician, the doctor belonged to the whig school ; but he never allowed politics to interfere with his benevo lence. Dr. Birkbeck was in the 66th year of his age ; had been twice married, and has left behind him a wife and five chil dren—three sons and two daughters —one by the first wife, and four by the second. This evening a public concert was to have taken place at the Mechanics' Institution in Chancery-lane, to commemo rate the 18th anniversary —but which, in consequence of the doctor's death, has been postponed ; concerning which anni versary, the very last act of his life was, on Monday last, to dictate a letter to the secretary, expressive of his sorrow at not being able to attend, from severe indisposition. The doctor was highly appreciated by a very large circle of private friends, and was held in the greatest esteem by the most eminent public, literary, and scientific men of the day. A STRANGE STORY. (Abridged from the Manchester Guardian.) On Thursday afternoon last, considerable excitement pre vailed in the neighbourhood of Cooper -street and Dickinson street, by a report that the voice of a man had been heard as coming from one of the soughs in that vicinity, imploring help and rescue from his noisome and perilous situation. Be tween two and three o'clock, an Irish labourer, as he was emptying a bucket of sludge down the privy of a house in Dickinson-street, which is under repair, heard, or fancied he heard, a voice somewhere below calling to him. At first he thought some one was playing him a trick : and as there was a sort of dunghill at the other side of the wall, on the next premises, he supposed some one was there. However, on emptying the next bucket of sooty puddle, he again heard what seemed to him to be the voice of a man, calling to him from below, beseeching him not to throw any more sludge down, as it was choking bim. The man was a good deal alarmed ; and the painters and charwoman also, (as they say) heard the voice.—The labourer asked what the man was doing down there ; and the answer was, that he did not know, but that he had lost his way, and could not get out ; and he entreated the man to get a rope, and let it down to him. The labourer got a cord, and fastening a lighted candle to it, lowered it down a small aperture ; but then the voice was silent. Subsequently, however, it was heard again ; and the labourer and one of the painters asked, how the man had got down there. The voice replied, that he had fallen down the main sewer somewhere in Deansgate the day before, and had been a day and a night wandering about in the sewers and soughs, but could not find any way to get out. They then asked him his name ; and the reply was, " Bill." " What is your other name ?" " Gregson." On representation being made to the authorities, after some deliberation, it was determined that men should open the sewer at the corner of Dickinson and Cooper-streets, and descend and search. This was done ; the men and woman in the house still de claring that they heard the voice at intervals. By about six o'clock, the sewer was opened sufficiently to allow the des cent of three men into it ; and they proceeded to explore it in different directions for some time, but without success. Before the street was excavated to the sewer, one of the men stated that he heard the voice from the grid to the eye, ex clain, very faintly, " Make haste ; I'm done.'' After keep ing the sewer open all night, the authorities began to suspect that they had been hoaxed by a trick of ventriloquism, and suspicion pointed to two of the painters who had been em ployed in the house, who were taken into custody, but dis charged upon giving bail for their appearance. Our readers may remember a scene in one of the recent numbers of " Charles 0' Malley, the. Irish Dragoon," in which one of the personages of the story, an Irish Co rinthian Tom," named Frank Webber, is made to conceive and execute this very device of leading people to suppose that some unfortunate creature is down in a sewer in one of the great thoroughfares in Dublin, and to laugh heartily at his having so far worked on the ardent feelings of his ex citable countrymen, by means of a little dexterous ventrilo quism, as to induce them to pull up the pavement, and block up the street, in their fruitless endeavours to Lind the ima ginary being whom they supposed to be dying of suffocation in the sewer. Such, no doubt, will prove to be the real na ture of the Manchester story, in all probability, suggested by reading that in " Charles O'Malley." THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND (From the Glasgoto Courier.) LETTER FROM THE REV. DR. COOKE, OF BELFAST, TO THE MEMBERS AND ELDERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND Fathers and Brethren,—When first requested by one of our presbyteries to convene, at an early day, a meeting of assembly, to consider the position of the church of Scotland, I took the liberty of publishing my reasons for declining such immediate call. Since the publication of these reasons several presbyteries have requested me to call a meeting, either " at a convenient day," or " at such time as I might judge best and most convenient;" or, " at a convenient time, previous to the meeting of parliament ;" or " an early day in December." Now, with every respect to these seve ral presbyteries, I beg leave to say that my mind, as ex pressed in my former letter, remains totally unchanged. And I now feel it my duty to submit such of my reasons as are of a public character. 1.--My confidence in Sir Robert Peel, as stated in my for mer letter, remains altogther unshaken. I believe him to be the sincere friend of the church of Scotland—willing and able to extricate her out of her present difficulties, and to reinstate her on the basis of her imperishable constitution. But, did I believe him indifferent, or an enemy, he is the last men upon earth against whom 1 should direct the artillery of public meetings and of platforms. He must be dealt with on other terms. I believe him to be the most reasonable, but at the same time, the least "squeezable" politician that ever stood at the helm of the state ; and I therefore still think that, instead of appearing to obtrude our opinions, which he already full well knows, through our representatives, our petitions, our deputations, and public resolutions, we should wait the development of the government plan, and see whe ther it satisfy or dissatisfy the church of Scotland. If it satisfy, as I believe it will, all is well; and if not, the forms of parliament are not so electric as to deny us time enough to arm for the rescue—should that danger occur, which, I confess, I neither dread nor anticipate. 2.—My declining to call an immediate meeting of assem bly has been fully approved by those in Scotland best quali fied to judge, and most deeply interested in the result. And for this assertion, I shall produce, at the proper time, the most satisfactory evidence. 3.—1 cannot even attempt to fix any time for calling the assembly, because I do not know what specific proposal the church of Scotland has at present before government ; and until I be explicitly informed upon this subject, I shall con tinue to decline calling any meeting of assembly ; but the moment I receive this information I shall hold myself pre pared to consider the various applications I have received, or may yet receive, for a (then) early call. 4.—Presuming that, through some channel, I shall in due time receive this information, I shall be guided by it in se lecting the time for calling the assembly. In my present state of ignorance, joined, however, with hope of early in formation, my own opinion is, that soon after, and not be fore the meeting of parliament, is the proper time. The rea sons for this selection I shall not argue ; but if the brethren be not satisfied with such delay, I shall not attempt to exer cise the discretionary power of refusal with which my office is invested. Let such presbyterians as are anxious for an early meeting, join in a requisition for a specific day, when and where they please ; they will then have done what they believed to be their duty, and I shall do what I believe to be mine.—l remain, fathers and brethren, your servant in the Lord. H. CooKE, Moderator. Belfast, 26th Nov., 1841. George Wall, the postmaster of Cheltenham, has under gone several examinations before the magistrates there, on a charge of embezzlement. According to the evidence of the chief clerk of the post-office, the prisoner has been detected in altering the numbers of the paid letters received at the post-office, and accounted to the post-office authorities in London for a sma ll er number than had been actually paid The for. examination took place on Monday, and was ad journed till Tuesday, when the magistrates decided on com mitting all for trial at the sessions, but agreed to take bail for his appearance if he could find two sureties to the amount of .X 250 each. MISCELL ROUS The Earl of Derby, who, with Lord and Lady Stanley, is passing the winter at Knowsley, is in the enjoyment of better health than for some years past. It is confidently rumoured in the political circles that Col. Bruen, M.P. ; Colonel Verner, M.P., and Mr. James E. 'ferment, M.P., are about to be created baronets. AWFUL ACCIDRNT.—On Friday last a man of the name of John Cook, was banking at a pit in the old Buffery col liery, near Dudley, and by accident fell ln. lie was literally smashed to pieces, and his mutilated body was compelled to be carried home in a bag.—Staffordshire Gazette. Tue Wellington statue, the commission for which was in the hands of the late Sir Francis Chantrey, will be completed by Mr. Weeks, who has for some time had the entire execu tion of the models brought under the superintendence of the late lamented artist. THE PRINCE ROYAL—A candidate for the laureateship has perpetrated the following : The first of all the royal infant males Receives the title of the Prince of Wales; Because, 'tis clear to seaman and to lubber, Babies and whales are both inclineil to blubber! Two BROTHERS DRowNED.—On Friday morning, two brothers, named Brock, fishmongers, of the Fulham-road, Little Chelsea, were drowned in the Thames, nearly opposite the Old Ranelagh-gardens. The unfortunate men were on their way to Billingsgate.tnarket, when, from the darkness of the morning, they ran foul of a barge, and capsized their boat. All efforts to save them were, from the same cause. vain. THE FUER SEASONS IN A DAY.—On Monday, last week, the cuckoo was heard in the neighbourhood of Radstock, by a correspondent who has given us his name ; in the same day there was heavy thunder and lightning at .Bruton ; snow fell here the same day, and on that day, also, strawberries and raspberries were gathered in this immediate neighbourhood, where also the apple trees, in several gardens, are to be seen in full blossom.—Bath Herald. The following are the receipts of the principal railways for the last week—that is to say, up to the date to which the re spective returns are made :—Blackwall, £557 ; Brighton, £1,397 ; York and North Midland, £1,463 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, £1,330; North Midland, £3,508; Midland Counties, £2,126; South Western, £4,106; Birmingham and Derby, £997 ; Great Western, £9,827 ; Birmingham, £12,988 ; Eastern Counties, .£6-11 ; Hull and Selby, £7BO ; and Great North of England, £1,321. PEDESTRIANISM.—The great match between the North Star and Brian, to run two miles fora stake of £lOO, came off on Tuesday last. The place chosen for the contest was Lord's Ground, St. John's Wood, which was staked out so as to make the distance five times round, with a few yards added. Brian took the lead at an enormous speed, but held it only a hundred yards, when the Star dashed by him, and gradually went in advance, winning by a hundred yards or more, completing the two miles under 11i minutes.—Leeds Intelligencer. ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR JEMMY WOOD'S PROPERTY.— It is reported that a Colonel Wood, till lately residing at Natchez, in America, had packed up his traps, and sailed for England, with documents which will prove him to be the heir-at-law of the eccentric and wealthy banker of Gloucester. It will be singular if this Colonel Wood should prove to he the heir-at-law, for whom such anxious search—such exami nation of records—has for years been in vain. The affair is by no means settled, and a little more law will be found ne cessary. ORDINATIONS TO BE HOLDEN.—Dec. 12, Bishop of Win chester, at Winchester ; Dec. 19, Archbishop of York, at York ; Dec. 19, Bishop of Durham, at Durham ; Dec. 19, Bishop of Worcester, at Worcester ; Dec. 19, Bishop of Lichfield, at Eccleshall ; Dec. 19. Bishop of Lincoln, at Lin coln ; Dec. 19, Bishop of Bath and Wells, at Wells ; bec. 19, Bishop of Chichester, at Chichester; Dec. 19. Bishop of Gloucester, at Gloucester; Dec. 19, Bishop of Hereford, at Hereford : Jan. 9, Bishop of Ripon, at Ripon ; Jan. 16, Bishop of Norwich, at Norwich. SYMPTOMS OF PUSEYISM AT ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.—A new form of administering the Sacrament has lately been in troduced at St. John's Church. A bracket has been fixed at the south side of the " altar," upon which the unconsecrated elements remain during Divine service, without any fair linen cloth to cover them. At the time for the performance of the communion service, the elements are removed by the Rev. A. Watson from off the bracket, and placed upon the altar. When the service is over, the remaining portion of the conse crated elements are covered with a fair linen cloth. The above forms, we are told by the rev. gent. who carries them into effect, are strictly in accordance with the " Rubric.”— Cheltenham Paper. GAS SENT BY POST.—A correspondent of the Cambridge Chronicle says—" Among the numerous articles for the conveyance of which the present system of postage affords facilities, may now be classed a bladder of gas, which was sent this week by a practical chemist in this town to the post office, to be conveyed to a philosophical society at Edinburgh. Although of capacious dimensions, (measuring two feet in length and eight inches in diameter,) this bladder and its contents weighed only two ounces, and of course, according to the present regulations, ought to have been conveyed the 400 miles for 4d. Four of such letters would have filled the largest mail bag. This shows the inconsistency and defect of the present universal rates, and proves that space as well as weight ought to be a test of charge. In the present instance, our postmaster (Mr. Barsharn) refused to take the strange packet, on the ground that its safe delivery could not be insured, and that its contents, if they escaped, would be deleterious." SCRIPTURAL EDUCATION.—One of the most numerously attended and influential public meetings ever held in the county of York took place in the Court-house of this town on Thursday, to consider the propriety of forming a diocesan board of education, in accordance with the principles of the established church. The meeting was called by the Bishop of Ripon, in compliance with a most numerously signed re quisition, which was presented to him a short time ago. At the head of the list appeared the name of the late lamented Earl of Harewood, lord-lieutenant of the Riding, who had been particularly anxious for the accomplishment of the object the requisitionists had in view, and promised, indeed, to take part in the proceedings of the day. There were also attached to the requisition the names of the Earl of Scarborough, Earl of Tyrconnell. Earl of Mexborough. Earl de Grey. Earl of Ripon, Viscount Grantley, Lord Prudhoe, and Lord Wham chile, besides a number of members of the House of Com mons, and all the influential members of the church in the diocese. SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR G. FREELING, BART.—On Wednesday evening an inquisition was taken before Mr. T. Wakley, M. P., at the Victoria Tavern, Chester-place, Hyde Park-square, on the body of Sir George Henry Freeling, Bart., aged 52, one of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, and eldest son of the late Sir Francis Freeling, Bart. Ophelia Gillingham, housemaid in the service of Mrs. Lang, No. 7, Hyde Parke-gardens, deposed that the deceased Baronet, whose residence was in Connaught-place West, had, for the last six week, been staying on a visit at her mistress's house. Witness, at deceased's request, had been in the habit of calling him every morning. On Tuesday morning last, about half-past seven o'clock, witness as proceeded to his sleeping appartment, and having kr *eked at the door several times and received no answer, she upeoed it, and on entering the room saw the deceased lying on his face on the floor, in his night dress. On raising his head she found it quite cold. A surgeon was sent for, who pronounced life to have been for some time extinct. Witness last saw deceased alive on Monday morning, when he was, to all appearances, well in health. Mr. Barker, surgeon, said that the deceased Baronet's health had been such as to leave no doubt that he died of disease of the heart. After some further evidence, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased Sir George Henry Freeing was found dead, and that the cause of his death was natural." DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A SLAVER.—We learn by the Herald, Captain Goldsmith, from Princess Island (Africa), sth September, " that her Majesty's sloop of war Iris, Capt. Tucker, touched about Ist September, for water, &c., and sailed again on a cruise. A short time previous she had an engagement with a large slaver in the Bight of Benin, and was beat off with the loss of several men killed and wounded— among the latter was the commander." Captain G. obtained the above information from a letter which had been sent by Captain Tucker to the Governor of Princess Island previous to his arrival. The officers and crew of the Iris appeared to be crest-fallen and unwilling to hear any allusion made to the engagement. Those engaged in the slave trade have doubt less found it impracticable to carry on their operations in the old way, and have had recourse to a new systern.of tactics. Heretofore they have placed more dependence on the sailing qualities of their vessels than their ability to fight ; now, it appears, they have vessels which are equal if not superior to those which are on the coast to interfere with their traffic. The Iris is rated to carry 26 guns, and have a crew of per haps 200 men ; a slaver, capable of successfully opposing such a force, must be much larger and better armed than the vessels heretofore engaged in the trade. Long low schooners, carrying a large gun amidships, and p er h a p s one or t wo sma ll swivels forward, are of the description of vessels generally engaged in this trade. Perhaps some daring speculators in human flesh have vessels of a size and armament sufficient to force the trade in the face of all opposition, and by this means acquire a fortune before vessels qualified to cope with them can be sent to the coast.—Boston Post, Nov. 6. HORRID MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND, IN SHEFFIELD.—It is our painful duty to record another of those awful blots on humanity which have recently appeared to become more common, and which bespeak the gross de pravity of a portion of the population of our large towns — the violent taking away of human life. The case now before us is the murder of Mary Nall, by her husband, to whom she had been married about eight years, though from domestic differences she had scarcely lived with him half that time, and had on several occasions brought himibefore the magis trates on charges of ill-usage. After living separate a long time, they met on Saturday week at a beer-house in the Wicker. They met again on Saturday last, and slept to gether at another beer-house in the same part of the town ; and on the following day (Sunday) they went to his sister's, (a house of ill fame,) in a lane somewhere about Charlotte street, on Glossop-road, where they retired to bed about nine o'clock in the evening. The sister then went out, and locked the door ; and on returning, after eleven o'clock, found Nall on the hearth, putting on his boots. Upon asking him where Mary was, he replied they had been having words together, in consequence of which he had murdered her. She told him he should not go away until she had fetched some one in ; and again locking the door, she proceeded to her mother's, in the Wicker. Owing to some delay in getting her mother up, the sister did not get back till about one o'clock, when she also brought with her a female acquaintance from ano ther part of the town. On going up stairs with a watchman, they found Mary Nall quite dead on the bed, and the hus band (her murderer) lying by her side. Five stabs had been inflicted about the miserable victim's stomach, throat, and breasts, one of which it appears had pierced her heart. On the watchman taking Nall into custody, we understand he said he had decided upon giving himself up to the police. Of course, he is under the care of the town jailer, awaiting the inquest, which it is supposed will be held this day (Tuesday.) —lris, Nov. 30, TILE NIGER EXPEDITION.—Further accounts dated the 10th of September, but reaching to the 22nd, have been received of the _Niger expedition, which had at the former date ascended the river to the confluenc e o f t h e Tchadda and Quorra ; and at this point determined up on a change of ope rations. The original plan, to be guided, however, by events, was that the steamers should proceed in company ; but cir cumstances have led to a resolution, that the Prince Albert, Captain Trotter, should ascend the Quorra, an d t h e Wilber force, Capt. W. Allen, should navigate the Tchadda. The Soudan, Capt. Birn Allen, had returned down the river with invalids ; for we regret to say that considerable sickness had prevailed, in spite of all the precaution s ta k en to prevent it; and h since the expedition left England.eigt Europeans, Captains Trotter li a d died ndi li. Allen had b o th kept their health; but Capt. W. Allen had been ill, but was reco vered. The sickness which attacked the crews attended the vessels all the way up to Attah, about 2 00 miles, abo ve which we do not hear that it continued ; whilst the Prince Albert and Wilberforce made their way up the additional 70 m il es to the site we have indicated as the junction of the two grand branches—viz., the Quorra or raiger, flowing from nearly the north or north-north west, and the Tchadda, or Chad, from the eastward. The Soudan, from Attah, had got down to the coast in three days, and provid ent i a l ly found the Dolphin, Lieut. Littlehales , cruising off the mouth of the river, and put the sick on board, to be carried, we b e li eve , to the Isle of Ascension. Such is the latest intelligence received. A previous letter from Mr. Cyrus Wakeman, the purser of one of the steamers, states that the patent prepared potatoes, of which the Literary Gazette spoke as likely to be so useful in such voyages, had turned out an inv a l ua ble blessing in affording fresh and nutritive provision for the ships' CQll3Pallieb.—Literary Gazette.

LOYGEVITY OF SLAM,. - Out of 14,189,108 free white in habitants of the United States, as shown by the last census, there are 791 cf 100 years of age and upwards. Of 2,487,213 slaves, there are no less than 1,333 of the same age.—Anew York Paper. The line of packets for the West Indies is announced as ready, four being placed on the berth to leave Southampton on the 15th instant—one for Barbadoes, one for Jamaica, and two for the Havannall, each of the latter taking a different route. APPRENTICES TO INSOLVENTS.—It has been recently decided by the justices in sessions, that an insolvent, after his discharge, cannot require his apprentice to continue to serve him, he not having tools and business to properly teach the boy his trade, and the indentures were ordered to be cancelled. The ironmasters of Scotland have resolved to blow out for six months one-fourth of their furnaces. This is a resolution of dire necessity on the part of the masters, and will of course be felt with great severity by the numerous body of operatives in connexion with this branch of industry in the west of Scotland. FATAL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT.—On Friday week, a fatal accident happened to a man named Thomas Wirnpenny, a coal miner, employed at Messrs. Charlesworth's pit, at Deal Wood. Whilst the unfortunate man was at work, on the afternoon of that day, a ponderous atone (weighing near three packs) fell from the roof of the pit upon him, and crushed him to death almost instantaneously.—Leeds Intelligencer. Mr. Harris, a very pious and learned minister of the In dependent Chapel, Alford, has relinquished his charge as dissenting minister, and, along with not a few of his late bearers, joined the church and renounced dissent. As far as our observation has extended, these secessions from dissent ing bodies to our Apostolical Church are invariably found to include the most peaceable, pious, and learned individuals heretofore connected with such dissenting bodies.—Crrres pondent of Leeds Intelligencer•. A TRUSTWORTHY ESCORT.—The Memorial des Pyrenees says—" A few days ago, as a detachment of volunteers of Estremadura was removing some criminals to Badajos, they were attacked by eight men Cu horseback, whose object ap peared to be to rescue the prisoners. Uncertain as to the issue of the combat, the volunteers began by shooting the men under their charge, and then attacked the horsemen whom they put to flight." THREE LIVES LOST BY THE BREAKING OF ICE.—A melancholy accident happened at Grahamstone, Falkirk, on Friday, on one of the Carron dams. A number of children were sliding, when the ice gave way, and two of them were drowned. Some say a third went down ; and, to add to the catastrophe, two men (father and son) went to their rescue, when, lamentable to relate, the son sunk and was drowned. —Scottish Guardian. Tire ROYAL CHRISTENING.—The baptism of the infant prince, it is rumoured in circles likely to be well informed, will not take place until February, immediately after parlia ment assembles. In confirmation of this rumour, we have reason to believe, the instructions received at the Earl Marshal's Office, where all such state ceremonials are ar ranged, are not of that urgent nature as if the ceremonial were to take place this month. The ceremony will be per formed in town. SINGULAR CONTENTS OF A LETTER.—A singular in stance of the strange things conveyed through the Post-office since the penny system was established, occurred in Bath on Friday. when a letter was received from Devonshire contain ing a portion of the branch of an apple tree, with the leaves and three young apples upon it ! Another singular circum stance is, that the apples should have been growing at this season of the year.— Western Luminary. The Carnarvon Herald gives the following as worthy of at tention, from " an esteemed correspondent :"—I would re spectfully suggest that the petition should also pray that one of the Prince's names, if not the first, should be one of our own euphoneous Welsh ones, such as Llevvelyn or Cad waladr (Cadwaladwr). The Prince of Wales should have a Welch name. and if he live to ascend the throne of these realms, what would sound better than " Llewelyn the First ?" MARRIAGE OF A CATHOLIC PRIEST.—The Breton of Nantys states that at Porille, near that place, the banns of marriage have been published between a young woman and a Catholic clergyman, who was regularly ordained priest some years ago, but has since left the Catholic church for the sect of the Abbe Chatel. "It remains to be seen," observes this paper, " whether, according to the laws of France, a priest can abandon the ecclesiastical condition, and marry. The Court of Cassation has twice decided in the negative.' STATE OF STOCKPORT.—A more significant sign of the times need not be witnessed than the positive fact that, in the street in which we live, and within the distance of 100 yards from our door, there are not fewer than NINE excellent dwelling-houses and shops vacant; and to render the scene still more gloomy, if possible, they are all on the same side of the street. Besides this, every principal street in the town is not more tha❑ a fourth occupied, and in the cross and back streets the instances of over production and com petition in building, during the ten years of mis-rule and spe culation of the whigs, amount to no less than two thousand empty dwellings : being one-fourth of the whole borough assessments. And, as though all this were not sufficiently illustrative of itself, some wag has written on the walls, in different parts of the town. " STOCKPORT TO LET. IN QUIRE OF THE TOWN CLERK.—Stockport Advertiser. EXTRAORDINARY SENTENCE.—WiIIiam Henry Mence, aged 27, who held a situation in the London Postoffice, was indicted at the Central Criminal Court, London, on Thurs day last, for stealing a general post letter containing a penny piece, the property of the Postmaster General. It appeared from the evidence that a letter addressed to Mr. H. Day, so licitor, Queen-square, Bristol, was put into a postoffice re ceiving house in Drury-lane on the evening of the 27th of October; the person who posted the letter, finding that the office was closed, and being consequently unable to pay the postage, placed the penny intended for that purpose inside the letter, and having fastened it with a pin dropped it into the letter-box. On the following morning the letters were in due course conveyed to the General-office, where the pri soner was on duty. The letter in question was noticed by one of the clerks, who, in a minute or two afterwards missed it ; the prisoner was suspected of having taken it and accord ingly instantly seized by the constable, when, after a severe struggle, the letter was forced from the prisoner's hand. Lord Denman, after some appropriate remarks, sentenced the prisoner to transportation for life. The prisoner fainted on hearing the sentence. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY or NOTES.—Yesterday week, Jane Smith and Elizabeth Dale were charged at the Borough Court with having uttered in Liverpool a £lO bank note, knowing it to have been stolen. A policeman from Liver pool deposed, that the prisoners went into a shop in Liv.te pool to buy a shawl ; and the shopman, suspecting soMe thing wrong, called in witness, who took them into custody. The note was identified as one of 75 contained in a pocket book, lost by a gentleman at Manchester. The loser ap peared, but could not say whether he had lost the pocket book, or whether it had been stolen from him. Mr. Harding, who defended both the prisoners, contended, that there was no case of felony made out, and that the prisoners should be discharged. They were remanded till Monday, and after wards till Thursday, when a police officer from Liverpool produced another of the lost notes, and proved that it was paid by the prisoners. The owner of the notes admitted, on his cross-examination, that he had never seen the prisoners. Mr. Harding pressed for a discharge, on the ground of in sufficient evidence against them, and the court, after some consideration, acceded to his request.—M anc h es t er Guar dian of Salurday. THREE SUDDEN DEATHS FROM EATING FROZEN GREENS.—Much excitement has been caused in the village of Leigh Linton, within the last few days, by the sudden seizure of a whole family, of the name of Jones, father, mother, and three children, with v i o l en t s i c k ness an d purging, after partaking of some bacon and boiled greens, on Tuesday se'nnight. It was at first supposed that poison must have been mixed with the food of which they had par taken ; but it was at length ascertained, that the greens they had dined off had been in a half-frozen state, and that they had been put into warm water before they had been properly thawed by soaking them in cold water; the consequence , was that they became, through deco m p os i t i on, o f a poisonous quality. Although medical assistance was promptly called in, out of the five persons attacked, the father and two chil dren died. An inquest was held on the bodies on Monday ; when, the wife of Jones and several other witnesses having been examined, the jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict that the deceased had died from exhaustion, pro duced by violent sickness and purging, caused, it is supposed, by eating greens. The medical witnesses examined stated it as their opinion, that the putrid greens had brought on what is commonly termed British cholera. The mother re mains exceedingly ill, and is not expected to survive.— Wor cester Journal. MURDER AT WARRINGTON. ---On Monday last, the ex amination of a sweep, namedClo ug h , was added to the num ber of depositions already taken against John Gill, the young man committed for trial on the charge of murdering Sarah Moulds, in the fields adjoining Warrington Church yard, on the night of Saturday, the 13th of November. The testi mony of this witness, if true, goes seriously to affect the life of the accused. Soon after the coroner's inquest, Clough came, late one night, in a state of intoxication, to the police office, Warrington, and, to the surprise and astonishment of the parties then present, declared that he had. on the night of the murder, met Gill (whom he knew) in company with the deceased, in Howley-lane, and to having seen them to gether in the fields in which the deceased's boa was after wards found, and also to hearing two distinct cries of mur der in the direction in which the body of the deceased was found, and about the time spoken to by Miss Kitchen and Miss Caldwell in their evidence before the magistrates. This at the time was considered to be nothing more than the bom bast of a drunken man. He was asked to attend at the po lice station or before the magistrates on the following morn ing, when reason may have been expected to have resumed her seat, to repeat the same statement. He failed to do so, and but little heed was paid to him until he was next found making a somewhat similar statement at St. Helens. Th e necessary steps were the n t a k en t o secure his attendance as a witness before the magistrates at Warrington. In his de position he detailed the circumstances already narrated, and accounted for his being in the fields at such an unseemly hour of the night, by stati ng th at h e h a d b een engaged in cleansing the flues at Wharf Meadow factory, and had gone home by way of the Howley ware h ouses w i th t h e i ntent i on of taking with him some apparatus appertaining to his calling as a sweep, which he had that day, after sweeping some chimneys at Howley, concealed in a hedge row. On being asked why he did not go to the rescue of the person from whom the cries of murder proceeded he said he knew Gill to be a strong re solute man, and did not think it prudent to endanger his own life by coming in contact with him.—Manchester Courier. In the course of a fe w d ays a case o f b reac h o f prom i se of marriage, of a singular and extraordinary character, will be brought before the Court of Queen's Bench. Briefs, almost unprecedently voluminous, have been placed in the hands of the solicitor-general (Sir W. Follett) and Mr. Platt, with a fee of 150 guineas each, for the plaintiff; and to Mr. Thesi ger for the defendant, with a similar fee. Junior counsel are engaged on both sides, with proportionate fees. The fair plaintiff, who is beautiful and highly accomplished, but who has been some seven or eight years out of her teens, resides in the vicinity of Hampton Court ; the defendant is an octo genarian, a gentleman of wealth and professional eminence, and resides in one of the fashionable squares in the metro polis. The damages are laid at £5,000. The defendant pleads that he never promised, but that if he did he has given several sums of money in satisfaction. The venerable de fendant, who in one of his letters describes himself as being constitutionally in all r es p ec t s equa l to a man of thirty, has paid Attentions to the lady for a period of nearly four years, during which period he has written nearly 700 letters, of a most extraordinary description, but clothed in language of superior eloquence ; their contents, however, strongly indi cate that the writer's love was subject to uncommon fluctua tions, as, while at one period they would breathe vows of eternal constancy, at other ti mes they were imbued with theological subjects, and their love would be termed celestial, and the lady would be compared to an angel ; in the former case the love would be termed terrestrial, and prospects of a happy union be held out as also observations made relative to the regulation of the household ; from this the style would change to one of a frigid character, and then the defendant would describe himself as h er p l aton i c l over . In th ese va rious fluctuations had th e greater par t o f the time been occu pied, until at length the defendant thought proper to with draw himself wholly from the plaintiff's society, to discontinue visiting Hampton, or of continuing to write those singular but elegant epistles, and ultimately wholly ceased to corres pond with the plaintiff. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEc. 3. The duties for the ensu i ng week are reduced on foreign Wheat to 21s. Bd., on Rye to ll s ., on B eans an d Pease to 9s. 6d. per qr., on Flour to 13s. od. per barrel ; remaining upon all other foreign, and on British colonial produce gene rally, the same as last week. We have recived into this port since Tuesday last a scanty supply only of Grain and Flour, either coastwise or from Ireland, and of Oatmeal the quantity, compared with the large arrivals in previously, is but moderate,—whilst from abroad, during the same period, we have merely to notice 1100 qrs. of Wheat imported from Leghorn. Within the last two days the transactions in any branch of the Corn trade here have been very limited in amount ; ex cept for Oatmeal, which, having met a speculative inquiry, 8000 to 9000 sacks changed hands on the spot and to arrive, at, and in some instances a little above, late prices. Having b u t f ew country b uyers at t hi s day's market, and our house millers being very inactive, all descriptions of Wheat were in rather moderate request for consumption here ; several further sales of Foreign, however, were effected for shipment to Ireland, and very fine qualities, in one or two instances, realised a trifle over Tuesday's rates ; but in any other kind of this grain no amendment was obtainable. The trade for Flour remained in the same languid state as before, and was generally the turn lower. Barley, M a lt, B eans , an d P e ase, likewise, appeared to command very little attention, and scarely retained our last quotations. Oats were held rather more firmly, but, in th e a b sence of country demand, v er y little business was do ne, and prices, therefore, remained unvaried.—Oatmeal, b eing held on ra ther higher terms, the inquiry on speculation appeared to subside, and the dealers refusing to pay an a d vance, 28e for the best marks of Irish was with difficulty sustained.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, DECEMBER 6. The arrival of Potatoes since the 2nd instant is trivial—the boisterous weather having prevented vessels from proceeding to sea. The demand for town consumption still continues limited, being influenced by the large supplies brought into the Hay market by our neighbouring growers ; but there is an improved vend for the interior, in consequence of which, coupled with the decreasing stock in dock, the currency of the 2nd is fully sustained. Manx, Scotch, and Irish Cups 1 s gd to I °dyer 90 lbs. In consequence of the very wet weather the condition of the produce brought into the Hay market is bad and difficult of sale. Pink Eye Potatoes Is gd to Is Ild ; Cups Is 7d to Is lad; Short Tops Is 5d to Is gd; Cattle is to Is 4d per 90 lbs. Turnips 23s to 24s 6d. Manglewurzle 2, s Ed ; Carrots 40s to 45s per ton.

WitICErIFLD COR: MAT KET, DEC supply of Wheat th'Of Id Moderate, but there it Wale quantity offering from vessels at hand, Our millers showedino position to increase their stocks, and we have to report a slow sale at last week's prices, the qualities most in request being the finest samples of old and new. The quantity of Barley offering exceeds the demand, and this article again declined is per quarter. Beans Is per quarter lower. Oats and Shellings support their late value. Averages—Wheat, 3,113 qrs., 64s aid ; Barley, 1,466 qrs., 34s °id; Oats, 117 qrs*, 24s aid; Beans , log qrs., 42s 6id -; Peas, 40 qrs., 47s laid. CORN The Wheat LONDON trade is without X variationCHANGE from Monday, but very slow on that day's terms. The trade for Barley is as dull as possible. Inferior Irish Oats are the turn cheaper. Beans, Peas, and other grain without alteration. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 3. The continuence of wet weather prevents a good attendance of butchers, and those at market were very backward in consequence in purchasing. The general trade was therefore very dull, and prices in all instances declined 3d per stone. Inferior Beef sold heavily at 3s 2d, and prime Scots 4s 4d. Prime Mutto❑ (Downs) realised 4s Bd. Many head remained unsold at the close. (Per stone of 81b., sinking the offal.) a. • LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET ; D EC . 6. — Consumers confine their attention entirely to the better and fresher sorts of Butter, which being very scarce, continue to com mand a high figure. On the whole, however, there is much apathy in the trade, nor need any brisk speculative operations be expected until Christmas has turned. Belfast, Kilkenny, and Carlow Butter we quote at 100 s to 105 s. Derry, Coleraine, &c. 94s to 98s. Banbridge are 90s to 925. Pickled Butter very quiet, seconds 87s to 88s. Pickled Butter very quiet, seconds 87s to 88s. Provisions dull, but not Cheaper; and but littte doing in Bacon. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, DEC. 3. There has been a general and extensive demand for all descrip tions, and 400 hhds. B. P. have been sold at rather higher prices. There has also been a good inquiry for Khaur, and 10,500 bags have been disposed of at 44s to 56s per cwt., (which may be considered 2s to 3s above previous rates ;) 3000 bags white Bengal and a small parcel of Mauritius have also been taken at a corresponding ad vance. Foreign.—The Refiners have purchased more freely this week, and the sales amount to 330 cases and too brls. bags and boxes of Pernambuco, at 14s 6d to 15s 6cl for brown, 17s for good yellow, and 18s to 20s 6d for low to fair white; also 620 boxes middling to good yellow Cuba at 19s per cwt. The sales of Molasses are 70 puns. very ordinary Demerara at 23s per cwt. Coffee.—The sales of Plantation have been to a fair extent, and comprise 220 casks Jamaica, at tolerably steady prices; the Trade at present being pretty well supplied, evince less disposition to increase their stocks. 45 bags of good Java brought 70s per cwt. 330 bags damaged Trinidad Cocoa sold at 33s 3d to 34s 6d, and 300 bags black Pepper, at 2id for Eastern, and 4*d for half heavy. No sales of Ginger or Pimento. Rice.—A small parcel of fine Carolina sold at 365, and 800 bags Bengal at 13s dd per cwt. B. P. Rum.— There is a good demand for the finer qualities, but the small quantity offering limits the busitiess to 30 puns., chiefly strong Demerara, at the quotations. Tea.—The market has continued quiet throughout the week, without ahy alteration in prices. The transaction in East India Drysaltery Produce are extremely limited, being confined to a few chests Indigo at last sale's prices, Shell Lac at 35s to 445, and 450 bags Saltpetre at 26s 6d to 295. Small sales of Nitrate of Soda are making at 25s 6d, but for a cargo to arrive 24s,per cwt. has been accepted. - - The sales of Dyewoods are at previous rates, but too trifling to notice. There are no sales of Turpentine reported this week, and prices remain without alteration. A cargo of 1001 brls. Stockholm Tar has been sold, but the price is not stated. Montreal Pot Ashes are dull, and the quotations must be considered nominal. Some small sales of Montreal Pot Ashes have been made at 32s 6d per cwt. Hides.—At the public sale last Friday, 1050 dry salted Buenos Ayres brought 4id, 400 dry 60 to 7id, 455 salted (heated 340 and 300 dry salted Pernambuco 6ici per lb; and about 0000 salted River Plate have since been taken at 4d per lb. Tobacco.—No improve ment has taken place in the demand, and the sales effected are chiefly by retail. During the last month 690 hhds. were sold, of which 300 were Virginia leaf and Is() stemmed, 50 Kentucky leaf and 190 stemmed ; of these 129 hhds. were for export, 270 for Ireland, and 300 to Manufacturers. The prices annexed may be considered as about the rates of the day, though in some cases rather less has been accepted. The Harkaway, with a cargo from Virginia, arrived yesterday. There is no change to notice in the Brimstone market, consumers only purchasing in small quantities for their immediate consump- tion ; the purchases this week are sso tons. The sales in Sumac continue limited; a few bags Sicily are reported at 95 6d per cwt. Cream of Tartar, in small parcels, has been sold at 68s, and brown at 515, and 20 boxes red Argols at 48s per cwt. Flag Annato has been more inquired for, and a few casks have been sold at the quotations. Nothing done in Madders or Roots. Some small sales of Quercitron Bark are reported at the quotations. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 3, The demand for Cotton to-day has been again but-mode rate ; the quantity sold is estimated at 4000 bales. Few sales made for the packet to-morrow, at rather easier prices. The weekly sales amount to 28,450 bales, of which 2500 are for speculative account, and 1100 for export. The mar ket closes heavily. COTTON MARKET, DECEMBER 6 We continue to experience a very fair demand for Cotton, yet the market wears the same inanimate and heavy appearance. The quantity sold on Saturday was 4,00,4 and to-day, 5,500 bales at last week's prices. Surats are much sought after, and fetch f u ll pr i ces. This eagerness after low-priced Cotton is an evident symptom of bad trade, and incontestably proves that Spinners are laying their winter stocks as low as they possibly can. COTTON MARKET. -WEEKLY REPORT At the commencement of the week there was rather au improved demand, and the full prices of last Friday were obtained ; since the arrival of the Halifax steamer, however, holders have offered their stocks more freely, and prices have had rather a downward tendcny, though little:or no change can be made in the quotations. Speculators have taken 2500 American, and Exporters 250 Surat, 36 , Carthagena and 500 Peruvian ; and there have been forwarded into the country unsold 850 American, 50 Egyptian and 200 Surat.
