THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.'

CORN EXCHANGE.
There are small fresh supplies of all kinds of Corn, and also of Flour.
Very little business has been transacted in Wheat to-day, and the factors
are unwilling to take lower prices than on Monday. Barley is likewise
dull, but not further reduced in value. Beans and Pease remain as last
reported. In the Oat trade sales have been limited, yet Monday's rates
are maintained. Flour continues to meet a very slack demand, at last
quotations.

QUARTERLY INDIGO SALE.—SECOND DAY.
The sale progressed briskly to-day. Prices are from Is. to Is. Gd,
per lb. above those of last sale.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
A fair business doing and prices firm. British Plantation and other
Raw Su4ars support their prices. Refined Sugar equal to the standard
775. to 785., and that rather under 765. to 775. At public sale 2,300
bags Bengal Sugar, with small parcels of Mauritius and Slams fetched
yesterday's prices. Ginger, Cassia, Pepper, Mace, and Nutmegs, sold at
their former value. Coffee-1,800 bags East India at the 9d. duty sold
at 435. and 84s. according to quality; and 50 cks. Jamaica at its previous
value. Rice is 6d. to is higher than it was this day week.

The reported assassination of Col. Sir A. M'Nab
created much sensation yesterday 'morning. Letters have,
however, been received by very respectable firms here, de-
nying the truth of the reports circulated in the lower pro-
vince, and on the United States' frontiers, respecting that
supposed deed of lawlessness. In addition to the denial
in the letters, we believe on good authority that the gen-
tleman who brought despatches to-day from Canada to the
Colonial-office has stated that Sir Allan M'Nab was alive
and well.—Morning Paper.
New writs will be moved the first day of Parliament's
sitting for the Tower Hamlets, in the room of Dr. Lushing-
ton, promoted to the Judgeship of the Admiralty Court ;
and for Sandwich, &c., in the place of Sir James Rivett
Carnac, appointed Governor of Bombay.
Lieutenant-General Sir Rufane Donkin, K.C.8.,
the Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, has started as a
candidate for the representation of the united boroughs of
Sandwich and Deal, in consequence of the retirement of
Sir James Carnac, Bart., Governor of the Presidency of
Bombay. Sir Rufane was the unsuccessful candidate for
Berwick upon-Tweed at the last general election.
It is, we believe, the intention of Mr. Baron Vaughan
to tender his resignation immediately. This will still leave
Lwo vacancies on the judicial bench.

'WORSHIP STREET.

A FELONIOUS FROLIC.—John Sims, a young man of
iery 'respectable exterior, who Was described as an -ar-
tist, was charged before Mr. Grove with having stolen
a boa from Isabella Lyndsay, a woman of the town..
The complainant stated that she was in the City
Ithad at, about half-past I 2 on the preceding night,
when the prisoner came up to her and asked her to take
a glass of wine with him, to which she gladly assented.
She walked with him untl they reached some gardens
near Britannia-street, when he pulled out a clasp key,
with which he' opened the gate of one of thetn,and asked
her in, observing that he resided there. She declined,
upon which he forced her in and began to take liberties
with her against her consent. He war joined in a *tort
time byanother gentleman, who also pulled her abont,an.d
in the struggle she lost her boa,after which- they both left
the gardens and locked the gate, leaving her inside.
She attempted to climb over the railings, but finding
that they were too high for her she raised a loud outcry;
which was at length heard by an inhabitant of one of
the.houses opposite, who crossed over and liberated her:
• —Police Constable Francis, N '2.27,stated that he heard
the complainant's cries in the garden, and arrived at the
gate just as she was released.. She told him that she;
had been'very much ill-used, and was dese4iog.to him;
the prisoner's person when the prisoner elsoie. and
she gave hi-in-into custody. He said that he was going;
into the garden for some tulip seeds.
Mr. Gov (addressing the prisoner)—Although the
woman complaining, against you belougs..te a wretched,
and degraded class, she is as folly entitled to protection
as any other of her Majesty's subjects. Have you any-
thing to say to the charge of stealing bee boa?
The prisoner frankly admitted that . the woman's
statement was substantially correct'. He ccrtainly-Was
imprudent enough to take.her into:his garden, and by'
way of alrolic he pulled off her boa, And, handet: it to
his friend, in whose poSsession he believed, it stilt (was,
but they had no intention of stealing it.
Mr. GROVE—It is my duty to tell 'you that yo
have committed a rotibery„whether you intended it or fJ
not, and if you think your friend can be of ser-
vice to you, you must get him to attend at the OA
Bailey, when perhaps he may be placed at your side.
Let the case be taken.

The prisoner was then removed into the, Clerk's
room, for the depositions to be made out, but he
,was
afterwards brought back to the bar and remanded

SCARCITY OF UGLY WOMEN.--$' Some yea' 1
ago," said an eccentric gentleman, " I made the follow-
ing
experiment :—I caused two advertisements to be it:-
serted in the papers for a housekeeper ; one was for a
lady who should not only be competent for such an office,
but qualified also for a companion, and be a woman of
elegant manners ; the other required nothing of this, it
only stipulated, as a sine qua NOll, that the applicant
should be ugly. In answer to the former advertise.
mcnt,
I was overwhelmed with letters from so many
accomplished elegant ladies, that I congratulated both
the present age and my own country on possessing
h female excellence. But would you believe
so 'nue
it ? To the latter, 1 received not a sqigle reply. And •
I have since more than once inserted the same ad-
vertisement, with exactly the same success."--Library l'

DISTRESSING CASE.—A woman named Go,dfirg,
whose appearance betokened the remains of former re.
spectability, was placed at the bar charged with robbing
her .ready furnished lodgings.

A man named George Thompson was at, first placed
'in the doek with her, but was subsequently removed, as
,it did not appear there Was any charge against hira.•
Mary Smith stated that she was a lodging-house
, keeper, residing in lurnmill-street. The prisoner and
the man Thompson, who passed themselves off as man
find wife, hdd hired furnished apartments of her six
,months ago. On entering the rooms, a day or-two
since, she missed a blanket .and some sheefi, which She
discovered had been pawned by-the female prisoner.'
When the prisoner was at the station-houee'the man
Thompson had applied for her liberation;%nd offeFed,to
be detained himself to save her, endeivouring, in fact,
to take the whole guilt of tbe transaction upon himself.
The prisoner, who was weeping bitterly the whole
time, said that _both Thompson and herself bad been al-
flicted with illness, which had disabled them from work-
•ingcrin fact that she was now only slowly recovering from
a fever, 'from which her mother was stilt suffering.
Driven by extreme suffering she had pledged the articles
in question for 3s. 6d. to save her from starvation, and it
was her full intention to have redeemed them this week,
as Thompson hadheen fortunate enough to obtain em-
ployment.
tlieol-osecutrix said she had no wish to press the case
if she could obtain her property.
Mr. GltEENwoon--This is really a most distressing
case. Can you redeem the property by Saturday ?
Thompson—l hope I shall be able to redeem it before,
Sir.

' Mr. GREENWOOD—I do not wish to detain the woman
in prison longer than can be avoided. shall remand
her until Thursday, and if by that time .-the property is
not redeemed -she must be committed.
Thompson—lt shall be redeemed to-morrow, Sir.
The prisoner was then removed in custody.

TEXAS.

IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES.—The prospects of this
young republic are improving daily. The foundation of
the Government is beyond doubt secure ; and it cannot
be very long before the national revenue of the country
will call in every dollar of its outstanding debts. She
is now in a flourishing condition. Her crops of cot-
ton are already beginning to be of much importance
to the Southern portion of the United States. Fo-
reign capitalists are gaining confidence in the inte-
grity and capability of her rulers to meet all demands,
and it would not be at all surprising, if, before a
twelvemonth expires, the treasury notes of the young
republic should stand at par with those of our
Government. We stated yesterday that the Texian
Congress have passed a law granting 2,982 acres
of land to every good woman, who will marry,
during the present year, a citizen of that Republic, who
was such at the time of the declaration of their inde-
pendence. This may induce many young English girls
to leave their own green isle of the ocean for Texas.
But they must be told one fact , if they reside on the
sea board, they will either die of fever, or be tormented
to death by mosquitos ; if they go far into the interior,
the Indians will kill their husbands and run off with
them. If they like an Indian husband, come on. A
party of religious people have left Baltimore for Texas.
The brig Edwin carried out, among other passengers,
the Rev. Mr. Bayless, a Minister of the Presbyterian
Church, who designs to settle in that country, so that
they'll become pious there in time.

SOUTH AMERICA.

All the republics of this continent arc in a distracted
state. At Buenos Ayres, at the last accounts, the con-
tending factions were on the eve of a decisive battle.
The Bolivian Congress was installed, June 16th, at
Chuquisaca. President Velasco, in his message, says—
" It has been one of the first acts of my administra-
tion to set at liberty all Peruvians, Chilians, and
Ar-
gentines, who were exiles or prisoners in Bolivia, assist-
ing them to return to their countries, if they desired so
to do, by aid from the national treasury-
,‘ The Government, desirous to re-establish peace and
a good understanding with the neighbouring republics,
? n p
rinei
which had been disturbed by the ambition of General
Santa Cruz, has given them a proof of the pacific dis-
positionsc
relations of BBolivia by sendingprinciples of the most perfect and
s
envoys to re-establish our
reciprocal justice.'
Congress passed a law, June 10th, continuing General
Velasco in office as Provincial President, until a Presi-
dent shall be elected or appointed in a constitutional
manner. On the 17th they passed a decree defining
and restricting the Executive power.

SPORTING REVIEW.

There are two engravings in this Number. One
is a sketch entitled " The Hack Stable," and the
other a portrait of the well-known race-horse " De-
fence." The literary contents refer, of course,
chiefly, to sporting subjects, and perhaps the most
generally readable of the articles is the account of
" A Day with the Prince of Wagram's Stag-
hounds," which is from the pen of a writer who
styles himself " Vagrant."

THEATRICALS.

At this present writing, theatricals are at a low ebb
in this country. Every principal theatre is losing
money. The Park and National here, the Chestnut
at Philadelphia, and the Tremont at Boston. The
Bowery and Wallnut-street are making money, but no
others. Miss Shirreff and Mr. Wilson are making im-
mense sums by their concerts in this city ; Forrest is
playing to 250 dollar houses at the National ; the ope-
ratic corps at the Park are a losing concern. Stephen
Price is in a great rage, and has made a great fool of
himself ever since he has been here. Charles Kean
drew poor houses in Philadelphia and the south ;
his last engagement at the National was more
successful ; and his present one i❑ Boston is a
brilliant one. He returns to England early in
the spring. Vandenhoff and his lovely daughter
have created a tremendous sensation in Baltimore
and this city, and will wherever they may play.
Celeste will not play here again ; she is residing with her
husband at Philadelphia ; as soon as he recovers she
sails for Europe, and goes to Baden Baden.
Booth is rustieating on his farm. Abbott and La-
tham are at Charleston. Brough has succeeded well at
the south, with Bishop and Madame Otto. Madame
Lecomte and her troupe are greatly applauded, but do
not draw full houses. Klishnig, the great ape, is much
admired by the New York ladies, who think him
almost equal to the apes of Broadway. Chapman is
well liked at the Park. Miss Poole and Mrs. Mar-
tyn, Signor Guibelei, and Mr. Manvers, are gain-
ing ground nightly in the estimation of their
audience ; but still the houses are not well attended
any where. The new theatre for Mr. Wallack in
this city, it is believed, will be commenced shortly ;
and there is a talk of building a new opera house at
Philadelphia o❑ a plan superior to every other theatre
in this country. No bad women, nor spirits, are to
be seen there, the building will front 240 feet on Ches-
nut, and 147 on Ninth-street. It is proposed that
the basement shall be of marble, 15 feet high, divided
into stores of 20 feet front by 50 feet deep, and that
the upper walls shall be ornamented with Grecian win-
dows richly dressed ; the whole crowned with a chaste
cornice. The stores will be fire-proof, and the row will
be the most elegant in the city. At the National
Theatre, in this city, where the girls of the town are
excluded, the audiences are thin ; at the Bowery,
where they are numerous, the audiences are numerous.
So rum and licentiousness are likely to carry the day.
We long for the arrival of Macready and Fanny Elsler
to stir us up.
SicKNEss IN THE SOUTH.—Not for many years has
the South suffered so much from sickness as during the
past year. Hundreds upon hundreds of its best and
oldest citizens have been swept off by fever. In Frank-
lin, Louisiana, peopled by English, French, and New
England men, only twelve escaped out of the entire po-
pulation who remained there. We notice at Mobile the
death of the wife of W. C. Watkins, of Finsbury-square,
London. The fever has left Mobile and New Orleans,
and is raging at Pensacola.

SCOTTISH HOSPITAL•

On Saturday, St. Andrew's Day, the 174th anniver-.
sary festival of this meritorious charity was celebrated
at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate.street. Mr. Robert
Stewart, M.P., presided, and on his right the Hon.
Gentleman was supported by Colonel Aitchison, and on
his left by Mr. Chisholm of Chisimlin. About I'2o
gentlemen sat down to dinner.
Early in the afternoon a General Court of the Cor-
poration was holden for the purposes ,of appointing the
officers for the ensuing year, and filling uo the vacancie s
which had occurred in the committees of relief and the
Kinloch bequest. The Kinloch bequest was given in
trust to the Hospital for the purpose of granting annui-
ties to 500 soldiers and sailors who had been wounded in
the service of their country, and it amounted orginaliy
to 72,000/. Of this munificent donation it was stated
that a sum of about 60,0001. still remained in hand.
From the financial report, read• by the Secretary of
the institution, it appeared that relief to the amours: of
nearly 18,0001. had been distributed amongst the Scot-
tish poor in the metropolis during the past year, and. a
sum of 1,7541., was voted for the same purpose for the
ensuing twelve months.
Thanks were then voted to the Duke of Sutherland,
the President of the Society, for his late munfficenc3 to
the charity, and regret was expressed that indisposition
should have been the cause of the absence of his Grace
on that occasion.
Due acknowledgment was also made to the Rev.
Dr. Crombie, the Chaplain of the institution, fcr his
constant and unremitting exertions on behalf oi the
Society, and the other formal business having been
uisposed of, the Court separated until the time of dialer.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

The first article, " On National Education," is
more ingeniously than soundly reasoned, and sets
out with the hypothesis that Ministers, by " their
Church education scheme, have burned their fin-
gers." Not so. They have merely given a start-
ling shock to Bigotry, from the effects of which.
though she may rally for a time, she will new r
ultimately recover. Let the Tories do what th,'N'
will, a spirit is abroad that will foster the cause of

----•
liberal Cducation, in spite of them. They my
grumble, and snarl, and make a show of opposition,
but it is beyond their power to check the progress
of mind. As for the vague phrase Christian,"
which is of such frequent occurrence in this Tory
dissertation, it applies only to that class of men
who do their utmost to ameliorate the condition of
their fellow-creatures. A man may be a very ex
cellent Christian, yet refuse to subscribe to tlik
Thirty-nine Articles. A very excellent Christian,
yet think the Bishops are sadly over-paid. A verb
excellent Christian, yet refuse to adopt the Tor)
principle of non-education. In a word, to be a
Christian, is neither more nor less than to be a good
man ; and this is the leading doctrine of the divine
Sermon on the Mount. The " Portrait Gallery"
gives a likeness of Mr. George Petrie, author of a
dissertation on the " Round Towers of Ireland."
The remarks on " Pawn-broking" contain several
useful suggestions.

THIS WINTER.

From present appearances, everything bids fair for a
general rumpus this winter. The states of Missouri
and lowa arc just on the eve of a general fight about a
small portion of territory in dispute between them.
The loafers along the Canada border are making
great preparation for a descent on some part of her
Majesty's colonial territory ; and they will require alt
the exertions of the Great Pacificator, General Scott,
to keep them in subjection. In the state of Maine
they have begun to depredate upon the timber ; and
the Blue Noses and Red Noses are glaring and blowing
fiercely at each other. Maine and Georgia have
quarrelled about giving up some slave stealers ;
and the Governor of the latter state has told the
legislature to pass a law authorising the seizure and
imprisonment of every man from the state of
Maine, upon the presumption that if he is not a
thief or a rogue, he soon will be. In the state
of Massachusetts, there is an awful internal ex-
citement and commotion, about the question of " Rum
or no Rum," and we should not wonder if blood be shed
before rum drinking be abolished. In the State of
New York, the legislature is so nearly matched that '
there will be most awful scenes of contention, the whole
of the session ; which will not be allayed in the least by
the introduction of the contemplated temperance law by
the Whigs. In New Jersey there will be a great
domestic fight about the disputed Congressional seats.
At the city of Washington the session is expected to
open in a manner almost as riotous as the last session
at Harrisburgh, on account of the disputed seats.
In Florida there will be fighting, and murders, and
massacres, all through the winter. And to crown
the whole, and wind up the scene of commotion, the
whole of obr frontier, west of the Mississippi, is
threatened with a bloody, destructive, and protracted
Indian war, on account of the demand on the Chero-
kees for the murderers of Ridge and his friends. There
are 20,000 Indian warriors upon the frontiers, and it is
impossible to foretell what will be the effects of the first
blow which may be struck. In the event of union
among the different tribes, the forces of the Government
upon the frontier would be totally inadequate to the
protection of our citizens.
These are our prospects for the ensuing winter in
the various parts of the country ; and if any one under-
takes to say that matters and things do not wear very
much the aspect of a row all round the compass, to say
nothing of local fights and domestic hubbubs, we beg
leave to say that we differ from them entirely. e w

FIRES.

The cotton and woollen factory of Col. Wm. Gar-
rett, a few miles from Elktown, Md., was accidentally
destroyed by fire on the Ist inst. The loss is esti.
mated at 10,000 dollars, of which only 3,000 dollars
is co%ered by insurance.
A farm house belonging to J. M. French, Esq.,
about four miles from Albany, was fired on Saturday
night and burnt to the ground. A black man, who
calls himself Joe Jackson, has been arrested and put
in jail on suspicion. Loss, 800 dollars ; no insurance.

FIRE AT AUGUSTA.—A fire broke out in Augusta,
Me., on Monday night of last week, in the tannery of
Mr. W. Stackpole. Two buildings and the entire
stock, valued at 3,000 dollars were destroyed. No in-
surance.

FIRE AT VASSALBOROUGH (ME.) AND LOSS OF
LIFE.—The Maine Temperance Gazelle states, that
on Tuesday morning last, the house of James Sturges
of Vassallborough, which has been for many years past
occupied as a tavern, was consumed by fire—and that
Mr. Sturgis lost his life. It is also stated that James
Sturgis, jun., was seriously injured by some article o
furniture thrown from the house, but it is hoped not
dangerously.
