BOROUGH AND BPITALFIELDB, Friday. Full
awerage supplies of home-grown potatoes are on

LoNDOZT PRODUCE MAngrrs, Friday, —ln the
colonial markets during the week the transactions have
been of moderate extent. Public sales were held only
on Tuesday. Sugar baa met `with a better demand,
partly on account of the holidays, and the first
parade of the new crop of Mauritius brought
forward obtained the fall valuations. Coffee Is steady,
and the Continental markets have become firmer,
owing to the reported deficiency of the Jove crop. 'Rio
still attracts attention. A. few sales have been effected
in saltpetre upon last week's terms. All common
clescriptioas of rice have been sold readily at a slight
advance. The tea-market continues firm. Finest
grades of Moning and Kaisow coition obtain full rates,
viome sales being effected in both up to 28. 7d. per lb.
Country green teas are without material alteration.
Oranges scarce, the silvers gales of lato preventing
arrivals; some parcels from St. Michael, sold by
Kneeling and Hunt, went at ss. per package higher.
Lemons without alteration. Almeria Grapes lower.
Black Spanish advanced 2s. per Darrel. Barcelona at
easier rates. Para, little cluing, excepting those of
good quality, which are wanted.

Thounow AGAUCIIT JOHN' 331:ILL.—Row much longer
are we English to assist foreign nations in misunder-
standing us, by holding up
,that ridiculous lay figure
of our race known by the style and title of John Bull ?
I take up a carioature in -which it has been found neces-
sary to present an impersonation of England. Row do
'I find this done? I seen groin over-fed, vulgar, unin-
tellectnal, arrogant, animallsh man, dressed in buck-
skin breeches and top-bbots,lwhich people never wear
now-a-days, except when tbey follew the hounds),
with • heavy knobstick- natter his arm, and a sullen
bull-dog at his side. •lam to aeoept this as the
nationai portrait; and, what is worse, it is sent forth
to loreigp countries with all the .authority of its
native origin. I protest against this detestable object
as anything like a reasonable and correct expression of
the great English race to its totality. A compound of
,a,,P•r, a butcher, a licensed. vietualles, and a backer
a prise-fighters, such as they were fifty or sixty years
ep, is no fit representation of our 'Ang/e-Baton stook.

altlame, it must have arisen with .the present canter";
