,PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Notwithstanding the eagerness of the Tories for office,
were Ministers, on the rejection of the Irish Municipal
Corporation Bill in the House of. Lords, to leave the course
open to them, we are at a loss to see how they could pos-
sibly carry on the:Government. We say nothing of the
difficulties in the way, of Sir Robert Peel created by his
new alliance with the Dilly, and the split which it must
occasion amongst his old friends when the division of the
spoil. comes to be discussed, though it is obvious that the
occupation of some of the principal parts by Members of
the Dilly will leave little wherewithal to satisfy the craving ap-
petites of the ancient colleagues of the Right Hon. Baro-
net. But the Government must be essentially Orange,
and the sword the substitute for conciliation and an impar-
tial administration of the laws. The " aliens in religion,
fit langtiage, and in blood," if treated as aliens, and provoked
by injustice and oppression, the only treatment they can ex-
vet from an Orange ascendancy, will, no doubt, afford fresh
.cerifirmation of the truth of the saying, that patience has its
limits. The Tories can hardly conceive that the Duke of
Wellington, great- as lie has proved himself in the field,
with an army which was " so mounted" as to be equal to
any undertaking, will be able to coerce Ireland with an un-
willing army. If, in 1829, he knew from tl.e most careful
inquiries that the army could not be trusted with butcher-
ing their fellow-countrymen, he must know that the " aliens"
form still more at this time the staple of any force he could
employ. We put humanity out of the question, for all his-
tory proves that there is no cruelty of which an ascendant
caste is not capable to preserve its unjustly usurped domi-
nion. But, with the will to be sanguinary, the Orangemen
are without the means to give effect to their wishes. Ire-
land cannot be held as a conquered enthralled province.
The. Irish are better organized and more powerful than
in 1829 ; and the Orangemen may have still the same
'unconquerable hate to the great body of their coun-
trymen, but they have been shorn of much of their
power. By brute force they cannot coerce the millions.
But let us assume that the Tories are blind to
these considerations, and determined on deluging Ire-
land with blood, is there a man not qualified for ,Bedlam
who supposes that the conquest of Ireland, as they phrase
it, can he 'effected. without producing the most disastrous
effects'in this country ? The moment the sword is drawn
in Ireland the commerce between the two islands is pa-
ralyfied, the exportation of food to the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the North of England and Scotland is suspended,
commercial confidence in all parts of the empire is shaken,
and thousands of unemployed workmen in every town will
spring up to curse the Tories, and, if possible, to take ven-
geance on them. If the' Tories can command bayonets in
abundance for Ireland, they cannot also have bayonets for
Manchester, for Birmingham, for Leeds, and Glasgow.
Violence cannot be confined to Ireland. If the Duke of
Wellington durst not in 1832 make head against the people
'in England and Scotland, would circumstances prove more
favourable with his army employed in Ireland ? But let
us suppose the suffering people of England and Scotland
more patient under their own wrongs, more indifferent to
the wrongs of their Irish brethren, than we •appre-
bend they would be,—can the Tories suppose for a
moment that they would not avail themselves of their con-
stitutional rights to associate from one end of the island to
the other, and drive with ignominy from power men who
had proved themselves so unfit to be entrusted with it ?
They cannot surely be so silly as to suppose that the ope-
ratives whom they bribed with food and drink to attend
their Conservative feasts would rally round them in the
hour of trial. In the people they can place no hope.
Bribery and intimidation are alone effective in a time of
tranquillity and prosperity. In a period of intense agitation
all low and sordid considerations yield to 'more generous
impulses. The Tories would find to their cost that privi-
leged classes, backed by parsons, are as nothing when men
are under the influence of strong passions. That the
Tortes did not put themselves to the expense of so many
feasts during the vacation without having in view a
Speedy. advent to power, we can believe. But when
the critical period approaches, the appalling truth must
flash across their minds, that to take office with the
prospect offered to them in Ireland, would be at-
tended with results which it would be madness to encounter.
We have hitherto said little of the " united" party *which
is to supplant the present Government. Sir James Gra-
ham has been labouring haad to conciliate the Orangemen,
and we can conceive they may deem his present High
Church intolerance and bigotry an atonement for his former
ultra-Radicalism, and his endeavours to rob the public cre-
ditor. But Sir James Graham is not a man on whom
confidence can be reposed in the hour of trial. The Duke
of Wellington, whose experience of men has taught him
ta• read character with intuitive quickness, would never
think of placing himself in a rough sea in the same boat
with Sir James. He boasted of 'flying at high game, but
there is more of the dunghill fowl than the eagle in him.
Robert Peel might wish to persuade the people that
his administration would be liberal, and by way of a tub
to the Oiliale might announce two or three liberal-sounding
measures ; but then where is such a Government to find
support ? Throe-fourths of the "united party" in the House
of Commons detest liberalism under any Government, and
are already more than suspicious and jealous of Sir Robert.
They have infinitely greater confidence in Sir James
Graham. How Lord Lynciburst is to be disposed of by
the " united party" does not exactly appear ; for their
disposition is to place Sir Edward Sugden on the English
Woolsack. But we leave the parties to settle these ques-
tions among themselves. It is enough for us to know that
distribute places as they may, and whatever the pretences
with which they may attempt to mislead the public, if the
Great Duke and his military satellites imagine that they
can insult with impunity " the aliens in blood, in language,
and religion," their tenure of office will be as short as it
will be ignominious to themselves and fatal to their party.
We fervently pray that the country may escape the cala-
mity which a Tory Ministry must infallibly entail upon it.

Lord John Russell moved on Wednesday night for the ap-
pointment of a Select Committee " To examine precedents
with respect to the circulation and publication of reports
and papers printed by order of:this House, and to ascertain
the law and practice of Parliament prior to and since the
order for the sale of such papers." This motion arises out
of the case of" Stockdale v. Hansard," in which Lord Den-
man, highly to his personal honour, and nobly discharging
the duties of the important station he fills, made use of the
following memorable words :—" The questions which I
shall leave to you upon the general issue arc—first, whe=.
ther the publication now complained of. was made by the
defendants ; and, secondly, if so, whether that publication
is libellous. On the third ground which has been submitted
td you—namely, that this is a privileged publication—l am
bound to say (as it comes before me as a question oflaw, for
my direction), I entirely disagree from the law laid down
by the Learned Counsel (the Attorney-General) for the
defendants. I am not aware of the • existence in this
country of any 'body whatever which can privilege
servant of theirs to publish libels on any indivi.
dual. Whatever arrangements may be made be-
tween the House of Commons and any publishers whoni
they may employ, I am of opinion that the person who
publishes that in his public shop, and especially for money,
which can be injurious and possibly ruinous to any one of
his Majesty's subjects, must answer in a court of justice to
that subject, if he challenges him, for that libel. I wish
to say so emphatically and distinctly, because I think, if
on the first opportunity that arose in a court of justice on
such a question that point were to be left unsatisfaCtorily,
explained, the Judge who sat there might become' an ac-
complice in the destruction of the liberties of his country,,
end 'e.vpose every individual who lived in it to a tyranny
no man ought to submit to." We have certainly no right,
nor have we any inclination, to find fault with the re-
ference of this matter to a Committee of the House of
Commons ; but we confess that we have seen with the ut-
most surprise that some Members of that assembly have
riot only disputed the law of the Chief Justice, but have
even expressed an opinion that his dictum is an encroach-
went upon the privileges of the House. Now, yielding to
no man in the strength and the sincerity of desire that the
privileges of the Commons should flourish with vigour un-
impaired, and be strenuously maintained against all en-
eroachinents from .whatever quarter, we nevertheless are
much more jealous of the rights of the community at large
than of the privileges of any body of men, however high—
not that we love the Commons House of Parliament less,
Ysut that we love our country more. And in this spirit it
is that we beseech all dispassionate men, of whatever party,
whothcr in or out of Parliament, to consider the.question
closely as well as calmly, and to ponder well upon the
consequences that must inevitably result to the pub-
lic, if Lord Denman's doctrine be not held to be
as sound in as we shall have no difficulty
in demonstrating it is in justice and in reason.
A Me,nber of the Mouse of Commons has perfect
- liberty of speech, subject only to the rules and orders
that govern the proceedings of the House. So far as re-
gards the community he is unrotrainod and unrestricted.
He may libel a man as foully azid as furiously as he
pleases, in addressing the House of Commoiss with impu-
nity. But let that Member publish his speech, and the
xaan lie has so libelled may instantly proceed against him,
criminally or by civil action. That such is the law we
apprehend no one will dispute. If we mistake inst, it has
been laid down and administered several tunes in their own
recollection, and has, moreover, more than once received the
-sanction of the House of Commons. Well, then, why should it
be thought that there is any difference between this case and
the case of the publication of a Parliamentary paper? As
...long as such matters are printed and circulated for the'use
•sof Members only, nobody would think, nobody has ever
thought, of proceeding against the printer of the House
-for libels that may happen to be contained in documents
of this description. The information they afford may

'

be as necessary to the House as the liberty of speech is ;
at all events, the right of the House to both has never
been disputed. Suddenly, however, the House makes an
order that their papers should be published for sale to any
one who chooses to buy them, and that, too, at a mnch
smaller sum than any individual printer can afford to let

the public have them for. Now, let it be recollected
that (except in certain election cases) the House of Com-
mons do not receive evidence on oath : let it be borne in
mind that a witness of theirs may slander and vilify, and
lie with impunity : let it never be forgottort that such
witnesses., have appeared before. Committees jof the

House of Commons, and that, when examined 'en oath
before Committees of the House of:Lords, they have not
only refused to swear to the truth of what they said
before the Commons' Committees, but have admitted
that it was false, and to have given other and different
evidence when sworn to speak the truth. And why ?
Because they could be prosecuted for perjury—because
they were legally liable for the consequences of what
they swore to before the Lords. Is it to be endured,
then, that evidence taken under such circumstances by
Committees of the House of Commons shall be cir-
culated with impunity at a cheaper rate than
even Mr. Catnatch of the Seven Dials could afford to
publish it at ? Is this either creditable to the House of
Commons, or safe to the community ? If :it be replied to
us that the House of Commons might punish the false wit-
ness, we. answer that all the House could do to him would
be to imprison him for the session, and that the process by
which they must decide upon his committal would render it
necessary that they should turn themselves into a sort of
court of justice—still without the power of administering
an oath ; while on the other hand, the injured party, who may
have been actually ruined by the publication of the false
testimony, remains ruined without redress, without recom-

pense. When we add to these considerations the recently
proved fact, that witnesses before Committees of the
House of Commons have been allowed to garble the evidence
they gave, and to add to it and to take from it in the course
of its publication, we think that we shall have demon-
strated to all impartial men that nothing can be more un-
just, nothing more dangerous, nothing more utterly inde-
fensible, than to suffer whatever a witness before a Com--
mittee of the House of Commons may choose to say to be
published with impunity, at the smallest possible price, and
to the injury of no..matter whom. We have thought it
our duty thus temperately and dispassionately to call the
attention of the public to these points, in consequence of
the vast importance of their bearing- upon the property
and the character of every individual of the com-
munity, and in order that all who have anything either

of property or of character to lose, may be able to
see how much they have at stake in the issue of the
question that was referred on Wednesday to the consi-
deration of a Select Committee of the House of Commons.

Further, we must be allowed to add, that the contrast
between the eagerness with which the constitutional obser-
vations of Lord Denham have been seized upon and sent

for inquiry to a Committee, and the quiet submission with
which (no matter what the merits of the individual case)
the anything but constitutional exercise of the anything
but constitutional power of the Court of Chancery has
been so readily and iso meekly bowed down to in the case
of Mr. Charlton, has forced itself upon our notice most
painfully. There is much in manner ; and if even care-
lessness or awkwardness in that should induce men to be-

liere that the authority, of any Court will be respected, and
the authority of any disputed, at the caprice of party spirit,
or at the suggestions of vain and extravagant ambition of
privilege, we think that caution and decency would in such
a case be convertible terms.--Times._

The fifty-pound franchise clause foisted into the Reform
Act by the Marquis of Chandos, keeps the English counties
almost as much under the domination of the Aristocracy as
they were previously to the enactment of that measure. To
this,, as well as to the threats, bribes, feeding, and flogging,
detailed in our report of the election for Buckinghamshire,
is to be attributed the so-much vaunted victory which the
Tories have gained in the contest for the representation of
that county. Neither Mr. Dashwood nor his friends, how-
ever, had any expectation of his succeeding on the present
occasion, in freeing the representation from the thraldom in
which it has long been held by the Buckingham interest, to
which the fifty-pound clause has lent a truly filial assist-
ance. The object of Mr. Dashwood's coming forward as a‘
candidate was to 'stimulate the drooping energies of the
liberally disposed electors of the county, and to show them
that if they will co-operate amongst themselves, they may,
though now unsuccessful, .ere long break their bondage,
and instead of being cheated of their representative rights
by the nominee of a faction, have their rights sustained by
a spirit as liberal and independent as their own. It is
the fifty-pound clause which curtails the county constituen-
cies of their just proportions, and we should strongly re-
commend some liberal Member of the House of Commons
to move for its abrogation, did we not know that until other
reforms be passed, it would be mere waste of time to bring
forward in one branch of the Legislature measures which,
in its present constitution, would be certai❑ of being re-
jected by the other. Since writing the above we have
seen the spirited address of Mr. Terry, the able and en-
lightened chairman of Mr. Dashwood's committee, to the
men of Buckinghamshire ; and we beg to point to it the
special attention of our readers, as one of the most able
productions of the kind which we have ever perused. The
Reformers of Buckinghamshire have been beaten, but they
had every disadvantage to struggle with ; and, if we be not
mistaken, they will upon another occasion prove to their
oppobents, that however much they may labour under the
tyranny of the fifty-pound clause, the county :will be
once more opened to fair and honourable competition, in-
stead of being, as it now is, almost hermetically sealed.—
Morniiig Advertiser.
TO-day the Protestant meeting relating to Church-rates
takes place at the Freemasons' Hall. It is time for the
friends of the. Church to speak out on this subject.
There can be no doubt that the simultaneous attacks of

the Roman Catholic agitators and political Dissenters,
upon tithes and rates, is for the purpose of destroying the
Establishment, by taking from the National Church all na-
tional support. The question really to be determined is,
ought the Protestant religion be united to the State, or di-
vorced from it ? Is a godless Government, or a Christian
communion between Church and State, more likely to im-
prove the morals and promote the happiness of the people ?
Can the religious instruction and consolation of the poor
be provided for without a religious establishment nationally
endowed ?• The Crown is limited by the Act of settle-
ment, upon the same principle that connects Protestantism
with the State in these realms. Can the Church be sub-
verted without shaking the: foundations of the throne ?
Is anarchy in religion more desirable than anarchy in
politics? Those Dissenters who say that they are
,wrong-
fully obliged to pay rates to the national Church might as
well allege that it is wrong to make any man pay taxes to
the State who happens to hold political opinions not exactly
the same as those represented by our constitutional system.
There are persons in England who would prefer an abso-.
lute Government—there are others who would set up, if
they had their will, a republic ; yet all are rightly compelled
to pay taxes to the support of a limited monarchy. Were
it otherwise, the practical solecism would exist of a national
Government without a national revenue—so a national
Church without a national provision is a mere fiction. The
present attempt of the Dissenters to have Church-rates not
commuted on a fair principle, but abolished, is to dena-

'onali:ze the Church, and so to divorce Protestantism from

the State! When applying for the repeal of the Test and
Corporation Acts, the Dissenters professed the greatest re-
spect for the Church, and solemnly disclaimed any intention
of disturbing or weakening the national Establishment.
Similar deelarations of respect for the Church, and similar
disclaimers of hostility to its existence or interests, were
made by the Roman Catholic Bishops and agitators, when
applying to the Protestant Parliament for admission to
Protestant rights and privileges. The people •of England
now see with what good faith these declarations and dis
claimers were made. Both parties, hating each other as
they do, have united to subvert the Church ; and should
they succeed in that, the struggle will then take place for
ascendancy between the despotic Church of Rome anti the
voluntary system of the 'Dissenters. When the country
is tired, and, perhaps, desolated by such strife, it will then
wish to return, as it did once before, to the bosom of a
mild and tolerant system like that of the Church of Eng-
land. Obsta principiis is a sound rule in morals as well as
in medicine.—Morning Herald.
Lord John Russell took occasion on Thursday evening
to notice• a charge lately delivered to his Clergy by the
Bishop of Exeter. Complaint having been made to the
House of Commons of a breach of privilege committed
by a journalist, vvlie had designated their Committee of
Privileges " a packed:special jury," Lord John Russell re-
torted by a reference to what he deemed a far worse and
grosser breach of privilege, committed by a Prelate, who
had ascribed to the Catholic Members of the House

" treachery, aggravated by perjury:' The mind which
could discover such an analogy between the two cases as to
render their comparison in an argument reasonable, niivlit
trace similarities between things the most dissimilar—be-
-

,ween the scat for South Devon and the seat for Stroud ; be•

tween the essays on the British Constitution, and the speeches
on the Reform Bill ; between Othello and Don Carlos. But
let that pass. We arc too grateful for the opportunity of re-
curring to the subject of the O'Connell oath to be very
angry or very critical with the Noble Lord for the clumsy
spite by which the opportunity has been created. It is a
gross breach of privilep, according to Lord John Russell,
to call the conduct of O'Connell and his gang„in voting an
injury to an-Establishment which they have sworn not to
injure, " treachery, aggravated by perjury," Is Lord John
Russell aware how often, and how distinctly, the same
treachery, the same perjury, have been imputed to O'Con-
nell and his gang by Members of the House of Common.; ?
, Is he so forz,etful of the grave reprimand of Sir Rlbt. Ingiis,

so unmindful of the solemn arraignment of Sir James Gra-
ham ? Does he mean to-affirm that a Member of the Upper
House violatei the privileges of the Commons by making a
statement which a Member of the Lower House may re-
peat nightly without a violation of their orders ? And what
is this breach of privilege which shocks Lord J. Russell ?
Oh, the astonishing courage, the superhuman effrontery, of
this little Lord ! Papists represent in evidence before num-
berless Committees, in harangues before multifarious assem-
blies, that they have no desire to injure the Protestant
Establishment ; that those with whose sentiments they are
acquainted, have no such desire ; that scats i❑ Parliament
would not be used by them, for the promotion of any such
end. Papists thus obtain seats in
.Parliament ; and upon
entering its walls they bind themselves by the sacred obli-
gation of an oath not to injure the Protestant Establish-
ment—declaring, at the same time, that they take that
oath in the ordinary acceptation of its terms, without any
mental reservation or equivocation whatsoever. Papists,
after making these declarations, and swearing these oaths,
vote for a Bill which deprives the Protestant Establish-
ment of 50,0001. a year, and vote for it with an- Undis-
guised belief that it is but a first step towards the confica-
tion of the whole revenue which the Protestant Establish-
ment now enjoys. And it is breach of privilege, forsooth,
to say that Papists, after these declarations, these oaths,
and these votes, have been guilty of " treachery, aggra-
vated by perjury." It is time that this matter should
be set at rest. We will proffer an ordeal, to which the
dispute may be brought. A motion to cemmit a Bishop or
an editor for a breach of privilege, .would hardly satisfy
us, or any man. He who accuses others of odious guilt
does not desire to be tried before a tribunal filled partly
by those he impeaches, and partly by those who hold place
and pay by their aid. We will suggest 'a less partial in-
quest. To say that the Papist Members of Parliament are
'guilty of " treachery, aggravated by perjury," is, in the
opinion of Lord John Russell, a breach of privilege. In
our opinion it is worse than-a breach of privilege-7—k is an
abominable,apd atrocious libel, if it is not true. .We desire
to stand upon that issue. We assert fully and firmly, the
conviction which the Bishop of Exeter has maintained in
his admirably eloquent charge. We are willing, if we as-
sert what we cannot justify, to be punished for the asser-
tion: We are most ready, most anxious, to ask twelve
honest Englishmen, assembled in a jury-box, whether
Popery in the House of Commons is or is not treacherous
and perjured ? That there may be no difficulty in meeting -
our challenge, we tender it to an indiVidual by name. We
hold Mr. Daniel O'Connell, the MeMber for Kilkenny, in
his vote of last session upon the liish ChurCh Bill, to have
been guilty of " treachery, aggravated by .perjury."- Let
Mr. Daniel O'Connell ask for damag,es before an inde-
pendent jury and an upright Judge.—Morning. Post.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From tho New London Price Current of Feb. 17.)

SUGAR.—The demand for the brown and low,yellaw quali-

ties of West India has been very moderate, but in the prices
no reduction has been submitted to, but for the middling good
and fine yellow descriptions there has been a good regtiest
from both refiners and grocers, and the supply at Market of
the latter being short, an advance of 6d. to is. has been.ob-
tained ; on the whole there has been rather more business done

this week than last ; ordinary brown has been disposed of at 525.
to 535., good 545. to 555., mid. yellow, 565. to 585., good 595. to
605., and fine 645. to 665. ; the weekly deliveries have again been
more than they were this time last year; only 620 hhds. and
trs. have arrived since our last report; by the Gazette. the
last average price was 445. 01-d., and in 1836. at the same pe-
riod it was 38s. sd. ; 120 casks Barbadoes are advertised for
auction on Tuesday next.
This afternoon the prices of West India remained firm, but
the business done either in the refining or grocery descriptions
was very moderate ; the estimated purchases for the week are
2,000 hhds. and trs.

The prices of Refined goods have been fully supported, and
in some instances arc rather higher; there has been much in-
quiry from the shippers to execute immediate orders at 365. to
365. 6d. for double Crushed, but owing to the supply at Market
being extremely short, but few transactions for immediate deli-
very have taken place, but for future several contracts have been
made at 355. 6d. to 365. ; on the part of the grocers much dispo-
sition has been evinced to do business, and they have paid former
rates. Lumps that would pass the standard at 785., rather
under 775. ; Prussian Lumps, 745.,t0 755. ; and 745. to 775. for
single Loaves; for molting Lumps 71s. to 745. has been paid
for large, and 745. to 775. for small. The supply of Treacle
at Market is still short ; the deinand continues brisk, and the
ord. descriptions have advanced Is. Bastards have Leen taken
very sparingly, but in the prices there has been no particular
variation. There has been rather more doing in Dutch
Crus'ied, and the price remains at 345., at which 100 hhds.
have been taken.

MAURITIUS.-The prices have at length become steady, and
there has been an improved' demand; at public sale 6,788
bags were nearly all disposed of at prices equal to those of last
sale; good yellow selling at 635. ; ordinary and middling 565.
to 575. Gd. ; fine grey brown, 545. Gd. ; 1,500 bags will be
offered at auction on Tuesday next ; the only arrival has peen
3,636 bags.
Easy INDIA.-The grocers continue to be almost the exclu-
sive buyersof Bengal: the request by private contract has
been moderate, and 4,393 bags at auction went 6d. -under
former prices ; good mid. white sold at 30s. 6d. to 315., fine
:325. 6d. to 335., ord. 295. to 295. 61., damps 28s.
to 303. Gd. ; in Manilla no sales are reported; the prices of
Siam arc unaltered, but there has been very little demand
by private contract ; at auction 580 bags were disposed of,
good strong white 275. 6.1. to 285., mid. 265. to 275., ord.
255. 6d., good and fine yellow 235. Gd. to 245. ; 650 bags
Cochin China were taken in at 21s. 6d. to 245. for very ord.
FOREION.-There has been nothing done by private con-
tract ; the strong white descriptions of Havannah and Brazil
would find buyers •at former rates, but there being little at
Market, business has again been prevented. For brown and
yellow qualities there has been no enquiry, and in some in-
stances there are sellers at easier prices. The only parcel
offered at public sale hale been 60 chests ord. Bahia, which
were taken in, there being no bidders.
MOIASSES.-The transactions in West India have been on
a limited scale at prices Gd. under those previously quoted ;
parcels of very good Demerara have been sold at 265. 6d. to
275., fair 265. and mid. Antiguas at 261. 6d.
COFFEE.-Jamaica low mid. 935. to 975., mid. 103 s. to
103 s. 6d., goOd and fine ord. 725. to 934., triage 60s. to 755, ;
Berbice mid. and good mid. 89s. to 935. 6d., good and fine
ord. 80s. to 88s., triage, 78s. ; Demerara good mid. 88s. 6d.,
fine fine ord. 80s. ; for Ceylon admissible at the 6d. duty, 249
bags at auction went off with spirit at 68s. to 70s. for mid. and
good, 735. 6d. to 745. fur fine ord. ; Mocha at 2s. to 3s. advance,

PROVISIONS.-For Irish Butter there has been a good de_
mend, and the arrivals having been rather short an advance of
2s. to 3s. has been obtained, the rise has been more particu-
larly on the best descriptions-sales of Cork first quality landed
have been made at 94g. to 965., Dublin 865., Sligo 86s. to 88s.,
Waterford 90s. to 925., Carlow 945. to 100 s., Limerick 88s.
to 90s. For Dutch there has been a brisk request, at gradually
improving prices--Friezland selling 'at 96e. to 985., Kiel 100 s.
to 1125., Embden and Leer 863. to 925., and the arrivals
have been very short. In the Bacon Market a steady business
has been done ; the prices previously quoted have been fully
maintained, and there is little offering for sale, the stock here
being light. For Lard rather higher prices have been de-
manded, but there is still little business doing. ln Irish Hams
scarcely any thing has been done.. The prices of Foreign
Cheese are without chatige ; English is rather cheaper.
