COLONIAL.
TEA.—There has been a moderate amount of business
transacted, and at public sale late prices have generally
been well sustained for good and fine qualities.

have remained without change of importance. Refined
descriptions have in some instances slightly advanced.
COFFEE.—OnIy limited transactions have been recorded.
Full rates, however, are demanded for good and fine de-
scriptions of colonial; other qualities have exhibited little
variation in values.
RlCE.—There has been a moderate inquiry, and late quo-
tations are in most instances well maintained.

bargains entered into have been at about former prices.

for both present and forward delivery having been restricted.

M. Kossuth has addressed a letter to the Italian
journals, dated Lausanne, 28th ult., in which he
strongly disapproves of Garibaldi's conduct, and
advises the Hungarians not to obey his appeal to
arms, since the General is not in arms against
Austria, but against his own Government, with a
view to a collision with the Emperor of the French,
which would be the ruin of Italy.
THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—His Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge and suite arrived on Friday at
Drummond Castle, near Crieff, the seat
.of the Right Hon.
Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby. The duke and other
illustrious personages will spend a few days in deer stalking
and grouse shooting on the extensive preserves of Lord
Willoughby.

THE ARCHBISHOP or CANTERBURY.--The Arch-
bishop of Canterbury's health has been for the last fort-
night, and still continues, in a most precarious state.
THE TEA TRADE, Sept. I.—The deliveries in
London estimated for the week were 908,2291 b., which is a
decrease of 48,0861 b. compared with the previousstatement.
THE PROVOST-MARSHAL'S WlT.—The Rev. Dr.
White, rector of an Episcopal church in Memphis, called
on the provost-marshal to inquire whether it would be con-
sidered treasonable to pray in public for the President of the
rebel Confederacy. " I guess not very," coolly replied that
officer ; "you have been praying for him for two years, and
have not done us much harm ; and I don't know but that
you might as well keep at it."

THE MYSTERIOUS' 290."—LIVERPOOL, Monday.

Walsh, the accomplice of Beckham in the assas-
sination of Mr. Fitzgerald, at Kilmallock, was executed
at Limerick, yesterday,

PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION.—A return
just issued states that in the your 1861 tho county -voters of
England and Wales were 519,348 in number, and returned
160 members. The borough voters were only 467,663 in
number, but they returned 338 members. 68,798 county
voters were known to be resident in Parliamentary
boroughs, and 86,363 county voters were known to have
their qualification within the boroughs, but neither of these
last two returns is complete, and both numbers therefore
are below the fact.
CONSUMPTION OF SPIRITS.—The trade and navi-
gation accounts show that the quantity of home-made
spirits retained for consumption in the United Kingdom,
as beverage, was 11,398,711 gallons in the first half of the
year 1860, 9,153,873 gallons in the first half of 1861, and
8,940,857 gallons in 1862. The quantity of foreign spirits
entered for home consumption here in the first half of the
year was 2,656,521 gallons in 1860, 2,415,653 in 1861, and
2,366,125 in 1862.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Sept. I.—The ex-
citement in the cotton-market continuos unabated, and this
day's transactions exceed 12,000 bales-10,000 on specula-
tion and for export. Prices of American and Brazil are
id. per lb., Egyptian 4d. to 16. per lb., and Surats fully id.
per lb. higher than last Saturday.
SIR ALLAN APNAB.—Sir Allan was buried ac-
cording to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, into
which he was received on the day before his death. It
seems that he had attended at the same Protestant church
for 27 years, and was there on the Sunday but one before
his fatal illness ; but it is stated that he had some months
since expressed his intention to die in the fold of the
Roman Catholic Church.

Mr. Mason, the Commissioner from the Southern
Confederacy, is at present paying a visit to Scotland. On
Thursday he was at Glasgow, and on Friday proceeded to
Glenquoich, the residence of the Right Hon. Edward
Ellice. He had previously been the guest of Mr. Stewart,
Murdostoun Castle.
THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—The Scottish
Farmer publishes about 40 reports regarding the state of
the crops in 22 of the counties of Scotland, supplied by the
gentlemen who acted as enumerators inthe collection of agri-
cultural statistics by the Highland Society. It will be seen
(says the Fat mar) from the repot is that the harvest gene-
rally is late, and in wheat, especially, unusually unproduc-
tive. On heavy lands barley and oats are also generally
poor, though pretty fair on slight soils. Potatoes are show-
ing symptoms of disease, and in many places are very defi-
cient. Altogether, however, there is sufficient evidence that
this will be a bad year for the farmers in Scotland gene-
rally. The past week has been very fine for ripening, 1211,
the good weather came too late to increase much the Pi
of the cereal crops.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The Era states smith

Shipley says the fight was most fierce and obstinate,
Mr. is e •
the vesseengaging at close quarters, and the horizon, the
,ight being dark, was all but illuminated with the flashing
,f the guns. All the Crew of the Mary on deck at the time
witnessed the engagement, and Capt. Marshall, who was in
bed at the time, was awoke by the loud report of the guns
of he
combatants, and rushed on deck to ascertain the
cause of the noise. ' After a time,' Mr. Shipley—who only
arrived in Liverpool on Friday night—states, ' one of the
Vessels appeared to bo retreating, but at the same time keep-
ing up a running fire, in fact fighting as if her case was
most desperate, the flash of the guns being most vivid and
the roar terrific, making the Mary tremble in every tim-
ber.' There is little probability but this engagement be-
tween Federal and Confederate vessels is in all respects true,
for on Wednesday morning Mr. Shipley spoke the Tasma-
nia, Capt. Banks, outward bound from Liverpool to Quebec,
and in answer to the inquiry if they had witnessed any-
thing of the engagement, replied ' Yes, we saw it as well
as yourselves.' "
