With bright celestial views. Mine were a lingering death without pain, A death which all might love to see; And mark how bright and sweet should be, The victory I should gain ! Fain would I catch a hymn of love Prom the angel harps which ring above; .And sing it as my partinc , breath Quivered and expired in death— So that those on earth might hear The harp-notes of another sphere, And mark when nature faints and dies, What springs of heavenly life arise, And gather from the death they view, A ray of hope to light them through When they should be departing too." No," said another, "so not I Sudden as thought is the death I would die; 1 would suddenly lay "my 4backles by, Nor bear a single pang at parting, Nor see a tear of sorrow starting, Nor hear the quivering lips that bless me, Nor feel the hands of love that press me, Nor the frame, with mortal terror shaking, • Nor tire heart, where loVe's soft bands are breaking— ' So would I die!

(From the Dublig Record ) We are always gratified when we find the Popish an jour nals making even attempt to defend their people from the heavy charges trought against them, for some gleaM of light may therefrom arise on a few of the bonds Men, several of whom we believe to be unconscious victims of the system - by which they are enslaved. It is not often, however, that such gratification is afroided us: in gene ral, a discreet silence is observed : on all tender points by the Jesiiil press, which is made to pass with their poor, benighted dupes, for dignified contempt toward us igno rant heretics. We have little , doubk, that when an ex ception to this rul e t a k es p l ace ,' it proceeds from some half-trained combatant, who had not previously essayed the temper of his tiny sword. We imagine, :also; that the rash deed draws. down the rebuke of some of the more experienced Janissaries of Popery, for the impru dent attempt is,not speedily repeated. . The Freeman's Journal, one of the least effective, bp - cause one of the most open-tongued advocates of priest craft and revolution, waxed extra-valiant last week on the' presentation of the Protestant petition by Mr. Plumptre. We shall quote the Freeman's explanation and defence of the parliamentary conduct of the Ro= manist members :—. "It may be well, (says our orthodox contemporary) for par ties outside the walls of the legislature to continue their un meaning and absurd attempts upon the Catholic rneinhers—it these can be called attempts which evapOrate in unheeded de nunciations and abuse—but we suggest that it is a most flagrant ofnindonment of die principle of the emancipation bill to PERMIT these insulting demonstrations inside the walls of the House of Commons. (Pretty good this, in the present state of Romanis supremacy Catholic's have been permitted to enter within the gates of the constitution, and some care should he taken to preserve them from such gross attacks upon their character and honour as - Mr. Plumptre has made, through the agency of a pe tition, originating froth a body of fools and ,knaves. [What would our gentle friend think of Some of the minor apparatus of the inquisition—such as thumb-screws and gags—being hung above Mr. Abercrombie's chair ; to be applied by his liberal. whig-radical hands to any person who dare to say thatblack was not white?] The petition (continues our acute contemporary) is in itself so absurd, and the question of perjury has grown so old and worn, that it is scarcely , woith while to allude to the mistake under which the honest reasoners on this subject (if any such there be) most plainly labour. The oath which the Cathdlic members take is binding on them to support the church'as by law established. These words have an anticipative as well as a retrospective effect, for other wise the absurdity would he too gross even for Mr. Plumptre himself. ' The 'Changes which constantly take place' in every establishment are so numerous and unavoidable, 'that an oath - which would bind the conscience Of the subject in 1829 to a certain order, would be nseless'id 1838, inasmuch' as the whole face of things might have silently and almost imperceptibly changed. [Coed—but infinitely better is to follow.] .It is true that the Catholic members disclaim and dicorOw brig W en ti* of disturbing the church 'as by law established, l -4MarkThe Je suit, how he understates the oath t/ey do not disclaim any intention of availing themselves of their legislative character and capacity to change, modify, or ABOLISH the law which 'gives VITALITY to the establishment. flow absurd it would be to be stow the character of a legislator on a man who is prevented by. an oath from availing himself of it! But no such preventative Check was ever designed by Sir Robert Peel—at least he is not found vindicating its existence in the House of Commons." This is pretty well, for so much. NOw we beg to ask the writer of the foregoing in structive observations—whether he be Doctor APHale himself, or the editor of his private -property journal we most humbly beg leave to inquire of him,—lf the oath in question were not intended to bind Romanist members " in their legislative character and,capacity," in what character and capacity was,, it the intention of the legislature of _that, day to operate on the orthodox worthies? Was it proposed to operate on them, outside ,the walls of Parliament ? Not to dwell on the gross ab surdity of such a supposition, we should find matters worse and worse—the perjury committed still more g rr larin—if we adopted it. how many swo rn "joints of the tail" were implicated in the anti:tithe conspiracy ? how many were actual leaders in it—actual concoctork Of it ? . Was the oath to bear any meaning at all ? And if it were, what was that meaning? Will the• Freethan take compassion on our ignorance, and condescend to answer this question ? However, the npshot of the matter seems to be that, according to the Freeman's confession, the Rornanists, swear them as you will, are not to be hound, "in their legislative character and capacity,". from laying violent bands on the Protestant Church. The honest journal of the Jesuits—for we understand that its patron, Dr. APHale, succeeded the late Dr:Dovle as Irish General of the trustworthy order of Loyola—the very candid 'or gan of that order assures us, that our goodly Popish le gislators are not to ,be restricted from depriving the Church Establishment of its " ,vitality," which last rear meant an operation somewhat worse than an " IriSh kill" ! We have always insisted on it that Papists had no se curity to offer to Protestantism, except their total exclu sion from power ! .Welt—the Freeman most uniqoiva cally confirms cur allegation, and to the letter bears us nut in claiming a repeal- of the act of 1829. Doctor Drnmgoole, in his celebrated " Cat-out-of-the-bag" speech, gave similar testimony in 1813. Fli! said, (speaking of Romanists' oaths to abstain from injuring the EStablished Church : " Are these the.securitiea that are sought for the protection of tla'e Protestant church ? If so, she cannot nbtaim them. * • * No ! if the Church of England trembles for ft. safety, it must seek it elsewhere; we have ,no security to give." This was ,an honest, candid man. He spoke the truth, as the Freeman now distinctly assures us, - and as the event has proved.. Ho - Weyer, before ,we conclude, let us refresh the Free man's memory by a question or two. Was it n o t th e , Common reply of .Mr. O'Connell .and others, before " eniancipation" was granted, and when bigots like our selves ventured to hint the fugitive: nature of Popish oaths in a case like that under consideration, was it not their constant gnd indignant answer, " What keeps us out . Of parliament, but our conscie n ! ions scruple at takin g an oat!i?''' 'Was not this also the hackneyed reply of their parliamentary.advocates? When a member of the. parliament of 1829—proposed that Roman Catholics should'not he entitled to vote on any' questionaffecting. the interests of the Pi•otestant chtirch,..was not the pro- Position met by a declaration that the oath intended to be imposed on theca, and which they now tnke,':was far .better security than their abstinence from voting on those questions "because," said their advocates, ." they might -then feel themselves at liberty do influence the votes of ministers and other's, ,by offering . a quid pro quo, but 'when you bind them by an oath, you prevent that ?" ill the Freenuin please to reconcile these sturdy.facts: with its denial that there was any intention rotund them, by the said oath, "in their legislative character anti • capacity ?"

(From the Newry Telegraph ) WRECK OP THE JOHN STAMP INotamAN—FURTHER PAR TICULARS —On Saturday night last, the 17th, blowing a strong S.E., gale, the fated ship, made the li,ght from the Isle of than, and immediately after the last of the topsails was blown away. A trysail was set, but went in ribands—a staysail shared the same fate; a small sail was then set abaft to keep her head from falling off too much. At one o'clock, a.m., the captain went below to look at his chart, and stated to the mate they had just . 25 Miles drift, and that they should go on shore in Dundrum Bay, unless sail could be made. But the topsails were split in pieces, the Staysails torn from the bolt ropes, the topsails gone, and the courses alone left. .Toget down the tacks was the next 'endeavour;" but the crew, from exhaustion at the pumps, to which theytwere lashed for some time, were incapable of board ing ate tacks, eveti.with the aid of the windlass; they could do nothing but haulaft the reels, while the vessel's head lay to the S.W. Meantime the leak was gaining on the devoted ship, and at daylight there was six feet water in the hold. The lead told them they were in seventeen fathom water, and, from the sound irig, they knew they were on a dangerous lee-shore; . but the morning was very misty, and they could see no land till near nine o'clock, when breakers were observed close undertheir tee, and in a few minutes the vessel struck on Ballymartin Point. At thislimethe captain and crew aud . two passen ge r s had . no hope of saving their lives; but, as the sea was heavy to the deck; they took refuge in_lhe cabin. In a.short time, how ever, they were driven, from ibis place of refuge on deck, all but a gentleman passenger, a Mr. Wetherall,. Veterinary Sur geon, a native of Birmingham. This gentleman had been sick from the time he came on board, and bad been confined to his bed: - he was moved by the captain into the after state-bed cabin, as a more'safe place. The captain, also, wished to bring him on deck, but he would not go, being unable to endure the cold and wet; and, when the crew were forced from the deck to the rigging, he perbdied in his bed. The other passenger, Mr. Seri- Yen to son of Counsellor Scriven Dublin, whose grandfather, Counsellor Scriven, died some ,tiine agoin Dublin,)bad a strong pesemptive hope that he should save himself b swiming, At Bi)mbav,.the Richard - Walker, Indiaman, had been m wrecked,. and he then saved himself by swimming —and he told the•mate of the John Stamp, a very fine i - etlog !• 1 .1.11.whq has been saved, that be w,ovh.l swim on ,shol The mate advised hint not to at leinit it; but h`e would net be advised.. lie called on the crew to save C.leinselvei by }saved his hand to the people O'n Shore, and plunged into . the boiling surf.

At presenCtlie appearance of the wreck is most striking. The once good ship is literally broken into fragments, and the biy is furzed with the cotton washed up from broken bales. (From the Cork Constitu(ion.) EFFECTS OF THE LATE. SlORM.—Several pieces of wreck have been taken into . Cove. by the coast-guard within the last three days; ,and on Tuesday part of the stein ()fa vessel, marked "John Harvey," was washed on the coast. The vessel whose wreck at Ardmore, with the loss of her crew, we-mentioned on Tuesday,. was, the. Sir Frances BU; tun. The master's name was Lindsay. There were seen on the mast seventeen men and one woman, all of whom perished, She was bound. for Demerara, and was. out three days from. Liverpool. There has been but little cargo, which was very valuable,- washed ashore as yet. but there is a large quantity of valuable machinery left in shoal water, which it is hoped may be ,saved, The vessel and cargo are the property of Duncan Gilds,. Esq., of Liverpool. What led to the conclusiOn of our. correspondent that the vessel lost,' was the Sir Hov and Douglas, was probably the thcumstance of Ixo boats being washed ashore, marked with that name. These boats, however, had been transferred, to the • Sir Frances Burton from the Sir Howard Douglas. The .schooner ashore near Capel 'slat,' is the John and Eliza, of Beanmaris. The master's name was Parry.. She was hound form Carnaryon to London, with a cargo consisting of slates and hides. It is hoped she' will be cot into Youghal, but part of the cargo must be sacrifi ced. The crew, have not perished, as we supposed. 'With the exception of a cabin boy carried off by a sea, they are all safe. On Thursday and Friday.two vessels were wrecked in Dungar van bay,. one life lost. _ . Three persons—a father whose name was Keefe, his wife and their son—perished in a snow-storm on Wednesday_ They lived in a miserable hut, between Mr. Hudson's mourtain and Lord Middleton's, and when the storm came on,. one of the sons left the but and went to :he house of a man named Duno yan, about twenty perches distant. The others were to have followed, but not . arriving, he supposed them to have gone to the house of a man named;Keily, in a different direction. and on Saturday, when the weather- cleared, le went out there to see after them,- At Keily's, ,however, they had not been ; so he proceeded to their own house, and there, buried in the snow, and standing upright, he found father, mother, and brother—a hand of the latter graiped in one of each of the former—dead, the face, hands, and ears of the child eaten by a dog.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK ANI) Loss of FOURTEEN LIVES. —On the night of the 10th instant, the barque, Nlary, of Lon don, on her passage from Demerara, in the West IndieS, to London, laden with sugar and molasses, sprting a leak under the main chains, between the Western Islands and Cape Clear, and within ISO miles of the main land. Her crew which con sisted of the Captain, ICl`Pherson, 'a native of Edinburgh, and eighteen hands. worked unceasingly at the ptimps•fortive days, but at the expiration of that time, worn out with fatigue, they were obliged to give up, when she filled and went down. Piv - e of the hands were able to get into the small boat, - lint all the , rest, including the captain. met a watery grave. Thelive were shortly after pieled up by the brig John of Cork, which vessel brought them • safely into the Cove of Cork on Saturday last.

LINTERPO . OL MECHANICS' INAtiTUTION: LECTURES ON PHYSICAL GEOGRAPIIY. On 'Wednesday evening Mr. John Smith, the highly popular lecturer on education &c., commenced a course of instructive lectures upon the beauties of geographical science. We were inueh gratified. to behold a still more nomerous audience than any which hai hitherto attended the lectures, a proof of the progress which the Institution is making in public opinion. On this occasion the directors showed their good taste by p'e r mittingthe pupils of the lower school to have a gratuitous ad- Mission, and it was particularly Pleasing to witness their atten tion and orderly behaviour. As a Verbal or written description of any object invariably produces its imaginary representation upon the mind,. it is 'important that such mental picture should, as far as possble, he true and faithful delineation. In order to contribute in some [degree to this desirable result, th e l ecturer h a d ava il e d him self of a number of beautiful views on glass, painted with great attention and by first-rate artists, for Richard Vanghan Yates, Esq., to whom they now belonged, but which he had no doubt would, throtigh the munificence of that gentleman, shortly become the property of the institution, to deliver a coarse of lectures upon a number orinteresting natural phento- Mena. .4,g4, town situated like Liverpool, wh os e inhabitants onifk were ei.ted directly 'or indirectly, with those of the most 'distant -eiiirts, no subject could be more iteportant thap physieal geograPhy,' and the lecturer trusted that whilst the facts - he might lay before them would instruct and amuse" them, they world be induced to give a greater attention to the subject than ihev might have previously, devoted to it. , ' It is exceedingly interesting to contemplate the vast changes which geologY shows us to have taken place upon the earth's surface. To these he should not allude, as they would doubtless be ably desetibed in their forthcoming course of lectures on that science by Mr. 4couter. The changes, however; that are is progress cooling fegititnately under- the head of geographylhe shOuld merely allude to them. Amongst the most important of these,, and th - oSe is hich are continually in progress, mustbe enumerated the a c ti on o f runn ing 'Water, the breaking-demi of prominent hind upon the cbasts;the' encroachment of sand, the formation of 'new islandS, the eruptions of volcanoes, and the phenomena of earthquakes. Nor should the varied labours . of man be forgOtten. • - Taking the globe as we now find it,. there would appear to he only three-tenths ,of it dry land, to seven-tenths of water, a clis, 'Proportion, 'which, to one unaccustomed to observation, would appear startling. Of this t reetent ha of dry , land, eleven-six teenths appear to be situated in the northern hemiSphere, and only fire-sixteenths in'tbe southern. The quantity of water in the bed of the sea deterinines not only the quantity of land Which shall remain uncovered, but the precise level of the sea in-comparison with the land. From that level all our. motto fain, elevations are Calculated. It appears, indeed, that in some places on the earth's surface, the sea does not form the same margin of the laud which. it formerly did, the water having in some instances retired; but it is also ascertained that it bas advanced in other places, thus causing no varia tion in the mean level. It was formerly the Practice to give the height of the tides at Liverppol froman arbitrary level at the Old Dock sill. Such a aalculation afforded no sort Of dentin to persons unacquainted With the loCality of Liver pool, and it is to be hoped that the discovery communicated by Captain Denham, at the last meeting of the British Associa tion, that the half-tide mat k is invariably the sane at spring or neap tides will be aced upon, and that at eVery,post,calculations as well as observations aid be made front this line. The general colour of the ocean is green; arising from the same optical cause as the azure of the sky. There ar e other local tints arising (ruin a variety of circumstances. Thus; the Mediterranean occasionally has a purple tint. Iu the . Gulph of Guinea the sea is white; and -at the Maldive Islands it is black, and in some places it has been obse rve d t o he red. With respect to waves, their velocity has relation to their magnitude. Some large waves proceed at the rate of from thirty to forty miles an hour. It is an error, hoWever, to suppose that, the water ad vances with the speed of the wave. The form only advances, while the substance, except a little spray above, remains rising and falling in the seine place according to the laws of the pendulum, similar to the motion of a field of corn when agitated by the wind, or to that of a shaken rope. 'Of course in a rising tide the water itself travels forward, but waves are formed upon the surface of still water. The magnitude of waves is matter of controversy. According to one party their greatest eleva tion above the ordinary level of the ocean is ten feet ;. ac cording to another, tweay-five, which would give double that amount of feet for the actual height of the wave in a severe storm. In reference to this part of his subject, the lecturer ex hibited a . beautiful view of the Eddystone Li g h t h ouse, the history of which, as well as the destruction of the previous erection by a violent storm, he took the opportunity to relate. He also exhibited the 'appearance of a cave in the Island of Anglesey, looking towards the sea. The bottom of the sea ap pears to have similar inequalities to those upon the surface of the earth, and in some parts it is so uncommonly deep that the ordinary plumb lines hare not been able to reach the bottom. The water of the ocean is of different degrees of saltness, this arises from the quantities of fresh water which are inter mingled with it at different places. We find occasionally that fresh water springs up in the sea; an instance of this kind oc curs near the fort at New Brighton, on a part of the coast Covered by the tide at high water. Springs are generally considered to owe their origin to the filtration of water from higher ground. Sometimes, however, We Meet with springs on the very summit o f lofty hills, still in these cases we have maser' to suppose that they derive their ex istence front higher hills, distant though they may be, the water uniting an unseen passage through various natural channels. In some few cases, probably, we may not be able to account for the formation of springs, except upon the principle of 'capillary attraction. Some springs, such as Bath and Harrogate, have their waters combined with mineral or gaseous substances. Rivers owe their origin to springs, to rains, and to the melt ing of ice and snow on the mountain summits. The union of various springs or meltings forms rivulets, which, following thedeclivity of the grOund, merge at different stages into one great channel called a river, the waters of which are at length discharged into the sea or some great inland lake. The lecturer then presented a view of Dory river, New Guinea. All rivers in this manner take their rise from, elevated positions, and thase are the largest which hove to travel the largest distance, in consequence of the nuinerous contributions which they re ceive in their passage: In South AmeriCa, couriers swim across the mountain streams, taking care to tie their despatches in a handkerchief round their head, so as to prevent their becoming wet. A beautiful * illustration of this was exhibited as of the Mode in which passengers and mules are passednver rivers or deep ravines. Tbia is dime by an apparatus called a Tarabita, which consists of an endlesS rope Passing through a pulley in stakes well fastened on either side of the chasm or river. Sonics tunes nature presents instances of natural bridges across this sort of places. A very remarkable instance of this occurs in Virginia, United States, called Hoek. Bridge, which is des cribed by Me: 'JeffersPri, f o r mer l y President of the United States, as one of the most sublime of th e p ro d uc ti o n' s of nature. w A vie of this was;presented to the audience. Travellers in. England can have but a taunt idea of• the labour and danger of crossing the Andes. :Many of the passes' are nearly, four miles above the level orate sea. lit some parts'irien, who hare made it their sole occupation, carry the passenger up the most steep and dairgerouS paths, Where one false Step would heinstant death do a"kind 'of 'chair fastened, to their hacks; but, in general,' the journey is made by travellers as was . represented in a view which certainly appeared terrific, mounted on that patient and surefooted animal the triple. , In connexion with this portion of his subject, the leeturer exhibited a spirited view of the silver mines of Potosi, which were discovered by accident in the year „15 , 15, and which have been productive to, this day. The silver mountain of Potosi, which, situated. in Bolivia, or Upper Peru, has no equal its the world. It rises to the height of 16,000 feet, is 18 miles in circumference, and forms an almost entire mass of oie. In Cornwall, as well as ininany parts of Bag, hind, theleare mines 1000 or 1200 feet deep, and such is the exhaustion produced by climbing up . the ladders leading into them, that the hardiest sailors have been subdued in the at tempt. It is s a good half day'S work for the miners themselves, and is preferred to the risk incurred in being lowered or hoisted by . ropes. Sometime ago, however, the polytechnic society of Cornwall having offered a premium of ten guineas for the best contrivance of ascension and deScension into the mines, a young meehanic inverted an ingenious instrument for effecting this purpose, a model of which was exhibited, by the lecturer. So important and simple is the invention, that it is in a fair coin'so of being adopted at all the principal Cornish mines. It consists of a series of steps and landirg-places ten feet asunder, so con trived that at each stroke of the engine, the man is deposited on a landing either ten feet higher or .lower he then awaits the return sti oke when he walks on to the step, is carried ten feet farther on his journey, and thus, in a very short time, either reaches the top or the bottom of the mine. There are few objects in nature which affect the imagination when first visited, snore than caverns. They are usually • found in limestone rocks, owing to the f ac ility with . which water dissolves that substance. They generally abound in ataiactical columns caused by the constant chapping of water containing limestone in solution which, upon evaporation, leaves the lime. stone behind. Of these the fatuous Gretto of Antiparos affords an exceedingly interesting specimen. The lecturer presented a view of this cave to the audience, as well as one of the Vale of Aleteora, through which the River luli (the ancient Acheron) pursued its course in silent loveliness. The lecturer next directed the attention of his audience to the cultivation of the tea plant, in illustration of which herex-, .hibited views of a tea garden, of a mandarin, his wives, ser vant, and plantation. The tea plant is a bushy shrtib, somewhat resembling the rose or myrtle, and it shoots out leafy branches almdst irom the bottom of the stem. When culttvated, the , plants are set in rows, four, feet from each other, and for the' convenience of gathering the leaves, they are artificially pre vented from rising above a certain height. The different qualities of tea, arise from the age of the leaves, the, youngest being the richest flavoured. The black and the green tea are produced from two di&rent plants. The leaves being rolled up by hand by females, are dried on thin earthern or iron .plates over a charcoal fire. The merchants give it a second drying, and separate the different qualities. Singularly' enough we owe the origin of sugar to the same cou n t r y th a t we are indebted to for our tea. It was cultivated in China 201)0 years before it was . known in Europe, and for a very long period even before other eastern nations became acquainted with its use. Prom the va rious eastern countries t he cultivation of. the sugar plant gra d-ually proceeded %estward until, after the discovers of America by Columbus, it was conveyed to the West Indies and Brazil, from the former of which England now receives its chief supply ofsugar. tilt. Smith here exhibited a beautiful view of a sugar plahtation and the Banyan tree, of the Cultivation of the former of which he gave a full account; and having illustrated and de cribed the Cape of Good Hope, with its picturesque scenery and Hottentot inhabitants i , he concluded a highly interesting lecture with thO exhibition of beautiful views of the Lakes of Killarney and Loeb Leven. The views .were shown by means of a magic lantern on a screen, and. the room being previously darkened i n th e same manner as theatre, the effect Was exceedingly good. Mr. Smith' detivers his next lecture to-morrow evening, in which• 'he' purpose's making a tour to the 'Arctic regions, of which the. views will be novel and 'characteristic. It is said that th e sea t' f or ' Bridgenorth, which Mr. Henry Hanbur% Tracey usurpe d f or 'Abut six months. cost him six thouganctp* , ,nucis. This ispaying rather dealy for the privilege of franking, and tae honour of , having P• ditched to o n e names. . At four o'clock yesterday evening, a large :American vessel, which had been. bound for New York front Liverpool, was towed into Kinstown harbour by one of the city of Dublin steamers, distualited. . The crew. and .passengers ,were all.:safe. but the vessel will have to undergo-general repair ..befor9 she can pro-' teed on her voyage.—Dublin Eveni ng Mail. THE Use OF SINGING.--It is a striking fact, that in Germany —the country where, above all others, singing is made a r evu l ar -branch of education in the schools, and where-all are taught to use the voice and musical powers with which. their Creator has end Owed them, consumption, the most fatal disease of the lungs in this country, is almost unknown. This is probably-in no small ; degrNi, attributable to the cultivation of the voice, and prfictice . of the lUrags in singing. The cultivation of music, besides col aterally improvin!, the mind itself, is bigiily beneficial to health nd good spirits, as all must be able to testify who have practised •he art of singing. Unfortunately for the young, it is nearly unknown, or at least very little practised by the youth in this country. rmE, LIVERPOOL STANDARD. fi:bipping Intellicsattr. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27.-14 ind E.

The market commenced this morning with a very few Beasts, owing to the still prevailing easterly winds having prevented the arrital of vessels with cattle, consequently there was a considerable advance of prices from our last week's quotations. A few Beasts and Sheep ar rived at a- late hour,which were readily bnught up. There were many country buyers present, but left without making any purchases. owing to the great scarcity and high prices d e manded. The supply of Sheep has been also very limited, but with little or no alteration in price from last week. Good Beef was eagerly bought at from 6d to 64d ; Ulterior quality, sid per lb. Good Wether Mutton sold fully at id ; inferior quality 6I d per lb, and the market cleared up at an unusual hour. Number of Beats at market, 648; • 5heep,.2433. LONDON COLONIAL' MAAKET,k'EB. 27. SuGlAa. - -This afternoon there was again very little activity in the market, the demand having been much checked by the large arrivals of Mauritius and Bengal. and likewise the phblic sale of the former advertised for to-morrow, besides several parcels of the latter for the same and following days ; both the grocers and refiners purchased very sparingly, the quantity disposed of not exceeding 300 hhds. and tees. but importers remain firm, and fOrmer rates were fully sup ported; the quantity on show is still very limited. Three vessels have arrived from Demerara with 1187 hhds. and tees. FORRIGN.—This afternoon a good demand prevailed; at public sale 528 boxes Havana and 305 chests 5 boxes 28 barrels Bahia were offered, Which sold readily at very full prices, the former damaged at 38s to 41s 6d for "low to good, the latter low to fine brown 22s to 255, very ordinary 19s 6d. low tt good soft greyish white 27s to 29s 6d per cwt. CoFvas.—This afternoon British Plantation was less inquired after by the grocers, and although the supply is very scanty, prices declined fid to 2s at a public sale of 43 casks 24 brls 29 bags, and there was very little Spirit in the biddings, Berhice middling went at 106 s 6d, Jamaica good ordinary pale unclean 90s to 955, fine ordinary 101 s. There is less demand for Foreign, but holderS are very firm, and unless at fully former rates it is impossible to purchase. Rum, BRANDY and HoLLANns —For Rum a good demand has pre vailed, and prices have advanced ld. In Brandy a fair business has been transacted at fully late rates ; sales of first brands of 1836 in puns. made at 3s 4d. For Geneva a steady demand has prevailed, and the late improvement in prices has been fully maintained. English Corn Spirits have been ta. en steadily at 9s 8d per gallon. LONDON CORN LXCHANGE. FEB. 28. Our market was only moderately supplied with Wheat this morn ing, there was not much business done in the article, but the few sales that took place realized fully : the quotations of Monday last, and in one or two instances even a small advance was obtained on the currency of that day. Flour was difficult to dispose of, and prices remained unaltered. Superior malting Barley was extremely scarce, 'and being sought after rather more money was made, hitt the thiti and coarse parcels, of which the greater part of the supply consisted, hangs heavily on hand at 'former rates. Of Scotch and English Oats we. have had very few on sale, and rather higher prices were de manded for fine heavy qualities of both, hut baying a fair quantity of Irish, mostly of secondary q ualities, these bar ely maintained previons rates ; Beans and Peas steady at late terms. In other articles no alteration. SMITHFIELD MARKET, LONDON, FEn. 23. Our: market this morning was somewhat larger supplied with Beasts than NV;IS, 111 . 4 of this day se'nnight, whilst the general quality of the supply was good, particularly those beasts which came from Norfolk and Suffolk. On account of the supply being large, the trade with Beef was exceedingly dull, and' last week's . prices were barely supported: There was a trifling improvement 'in the demand for prime South-downs, at full prices; but with other - kinds of Sheep trade was dull, at barely late rates. The supply of Calves was very moderate,- et the sale for, them was heavyi •at the, c urr en cies noteclon . Monday last. . DUBLIN CORN E,XCHANGE,TFb. 23.
