iet at 33 dots to 31 dols, six

six months. English bars are in better demand, and
.e sales of 200 tons common at 60 dols now held at
50c, refined 67 dols 50c.
• Domestic has come forward more freely, and
.ire about 3c per gallon lower. Foreign is scare, but
prices are nominally lower.
NAVAL STORES: Crude turpentine has been in good
supply, and prices, to a great extent, nominal at 3 dols ;
buyers offer 2,871 dots for large parcels. Spirits turpen-
tine have been offered snore freely, with a fair demand, at
41 dols to 42 dols for large and small parcels. Rosin has
declined about 5c per bl, with a good supply and a mode-
rate demand at I dol 55c to 1 dol 60e for common, afloat
and from yard; 1 dol 75c to 1 dol 90c for No. 2; 2 dols
25c to 3 dols 50c for No. 1, and 4 dols 50c to 5 dols for
pale. Tar is more inquired for, but holders are above
the views of buyers ; most of the sales of prime have been
made at 2 dols 50c. Included in the exports for the week
are 1,443 bls turpentine and 1,315 bls rosin.

PROVISIONS : The improvement in pork noticed toward
the close of last week continued up to Saturday, when
the advance reached was 1 dot 50c per bbl above the lowest
point, which was the 10th inst ; yesterday there was a slight
decline in mess, and was followed by a further falling off
today. Dressed hogs have been in fair demand at 74 dugs to
72 dots, closing at 74 dots to 73 dots for sound. Beef has been
heavy, with sales of 1270 bbls at. 10 dots 621 c to 12 dots for
country mess, 9 dots to 10 dots for country prime, and
14 dots to 15 dots 75c for repacked Western, including 140
barrels to-day. Prime mess has been going forward to
Europe freely, but the shipments are supposed to be
mostly from first hands, as but few sales transpire; 250
tes Ohio sold at 19 dots. Cutmeats have been more active
at firmer rates ; the sales are 1,410 casks at 81 dots to 9i
dols for hams, and 74 dots to 72 dols for shoulders. Bacon
has been in good demand, with sates of 1,250 boxes short
middles, rib in, for Feb., and 500 deliverable before the
25th January, at 9 dots to 91 dols; 1800 boxes on the spot
and all this month at 9i dots; 300 clear at 10 dots, the
latter scarce and wanted ; and 1000 for March at 83 dole,
the same being offered for more. Lard has been in fair
request, with no important fluctuations in price, but
closes tamely at I 1 dots to lli dots; the sales are 3700
brls and tierces at 11 dots to II& *lots, mostly 113 dols to
114. Butter is in demand and a little better in price, to
which we conform our quotations. Cheese is dull at 9
dots to 91 dots.
SUGAR : There has been a very active demand for
refining, and several cargoes of Manilla have been sold at
full prices; there has also been a better demand from the
trade.

TIN : The market has been more active, owing to the
favourable advices by the America, and prices have
advanced.

TOBACCO: The business has been limited, domestic is
scarce and firmer; the supply of foreign is ample, and
prices are hardly as firm.
FREIGHTS have generally been firmer, and there is but
a small amount of tonnage offering, but the market was
less buoyant to-day. To Liverpool 167,000 bushels of
rain were taken at 7i dols to 9 dols in bulk f"'

Tat SitGE OF KARS

On Friday morning Dr. Sandwitb, the sole sojourner in
Kars who has yet arrived in England, was entertained by

his fellow townsmen at Hull to a public breakfast at the
Station Hotel. The Mayor (A. Bannister, Esq.) occupied
the chair, and there was present a very large number both
of ladies and gentlemen. After the usual loyal toasts, the
Mayor proposed the health of Dr% San-d with, inn. Three
enthusiastic cheers were given for Dr. Sandwith. On the

applanse subsiding,
Dr. Humphry Sandwith, jun , said—Mr. Mayor, ladies
and gentlemen : When, seven years ago, I first set nut
from the town of Hull to seek my feetute in a distant
lend, high as were my anticipations, I never dreamed
of the honour w'nich awaited me on my return home.
Gentlemen, my heart is full, but my tongue is feeble
and inexperienced. (Cheers.) To you, Mr. Mayo*, and
those gentlemen who have planned this banquet, my
thanks are chiefly due for the high honour that has
been done me, and the pleasure you have afforded me in
meeting so many of my fair countrywomen, whose bright
eyes and fair complexions I have but dreamed of for the last
seven years—(cheers and laughter) —ehd whom at one time
I never hoped to see again. It is scarcely necessary for me
to notice the delicacies spread out before me, when but a
few weeks ago I was taking a luncheon off a poor old cavalry
horse. Gentlemen, I can do little more than repeat my
thanks for the honours you have this day conferred upon me.
(Cheers). But I cannot accept them as merely given to
myself. I ca-.not forget my gallant old chief— (loud cheers)
—who, though he lost his city, never lost a battle—(con-
tinued cheering) —who, although in one Sense unfortunate,
has crowned his honoured head with unrading laurels, and I
think, therefore, yeti will ttgtee with me when I say that at the
top of that list of glorious heroes this war has called forth,
the name of Gen. Williams stands pre-eminent. Only those,
' perhaps, who have been with him during the whole or that
campaign, disastrous as it itlaY have been in one respect,
yet glorious and advantageous in this—that we may say it
has caved Asia Minor—(cheers)—only those, I say, who
have been with him, and have been enabled to follow his
course, step by step, and to watch him day by day,
can rightly understand the difficulties he has had to
encounter. (Cheers.) When we first went to Kars we
met the army at Eizeroum, a mere rabble. I would not
cast a slight upon a brave and long-sufferin?, ally, but we
cannot disguise the fact that the army to which we went
had been beaten five times, and that the last battle had
been the most disastrous of all. When General Williams
joined that army he did so simply as her Majesty's
commissioner, and not with any authority as a general ; he
had not the commer el of a single regiment in the field ;
his duty Was simply to r 4 p3rt the conree of events to his
government. But General Williams was equal to the

Thompson and Major Teesdale aiding him, they made
that city wt.at it has proved to be—impregnable to
all bat famine. (Loud cheers.) Four forced marches
over a distance of about one hundred miles brought
us to the city. We found the troops no longer what
they had been—poor, neglected, destitute, ragged men
—truly they were ragged men—but their eves were
filled with courage, and their hearts full of " Veeliams
Pacha," whom they recognised as their commander. They
told us at every step that they would stand to the last ;
