are still prevented by the short supply, and the stiff prices,
asked : for a cargo afloat of good quality 28s has been

Rom, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS._There has been in!
creased inactivity in the Rum market; in Jamaica the
purchases have been only 150 puns, at former rates; 30 tO
32 per cent overproof have been sold at 6s to 6s 2d, and
33 to 35 over 6s 3d to 6s 4d. In Leewards scarcely any-
thing has been done, and proofs may be bought at 3s Gid,
but for strong qualities former rates are required : in East
India some small purchases have been made at 3s 10d for
10 per cent overproof. Brandy of good quality is in better
request, and command rather higher prices ; but in com-
mon sorts there has been little passing. Geneva has sold
to a fair extent, at the quotations. British Corn Spirits
are less in demand, and sales have been made at lOs 2d.

WHAT'S IN A NAM.E ?—lt appears from the
calendar containing the names of persons now in West-
minster Bridewell, that Liberty and his wife have both
been sent there for creating a riot; Martin Luther fot
being disorderly ; and Mary Music for being drunk and
creating a disturbance in the public streets.
CHARTISM.—CORN-LAWS.—Two publioneet-
ings have been held in this town during the week—one to
hear Mr. Acland on the repeal of the Corn-laws, and a
Chartist meeting to hear a lecture from Mr. Bronterre
O'Brien. The objects of these meetings, pretty full re-
ports of which will be found in other columns of our parr'
were widely different. Mr. Acland endeavours, by fair
reasoning, to show all classes the grand blunder the LeOs•
lature made in political economy by enacting Corn-laws,
which, whilst they inflict immeasurable injury on every
class of society except the landlords, do not, fulfil even
their professed object—to keep up the price of food. Mr.
Bronterre O'Brien is one of that crotchety Robespierrean
school which the French Revolution generated, and, like
Robespierre, could be have his way, would commit the
most enormous and palpable blunders in political economy,
—not, perhaps, from an evil intention, but from sheer ig-
norance.—Brighten Herald.
