THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

HUNGERFORD MARKET.
The market was tolerably well supplied to-day with most
descriptions: Turbot, 6s. and 7s. to 21s. ; Soles, 10d. to 3s.
per pair; Lobsters, 10d. to 2s. 6d. each. Meat in fair supply,
and a brisk business done. Beef, lid. to 84d. ; Mutton
71d. to Bd. and 81d. ; Veal, Bd. to ?id. ; Pori, 71d. to Bid., Vegetables rise in price as they diminish in quantity.
CITY FISH MARKET.

Supplies of good Fish slender, and prices high. Tur-
bot, 6s. and 7s. to 225. and 235.; Soles, 9d. to 2s. 6d per
pair; Crimped Salmon, 3s. sd. per lb.; Cod, Is. 6d. and
2s. to 10s. and 12s. each. Owing to there being little to
eat with Lobsters, they are cheaper, ranging from 10d. to
3s. each; Whitings, 3d. to 6d. each ; Haddock, 4d. to Is.
HAY MARKETS.

Supplies to-day were moderate, but the demand is much
about as brisk as it was. Hay, 80s. to 110 s. ; Clover, 955. to
1265.; Straw, 30s. to 38s. per load.
SPIRIT MARKET.

This department is very quiet. Price of Rum is rather un-
certain, the nearest quotation that can be given for proof Lee-
wards is 3s. No variation has occurred in the price of Brands,.
Last night 2s. 6cl. was the quotation of Geneva; to-day it.is-
2s. 4d. British Corn Spirits are 10s. 2d. per gallon.
PROVISION MARKET.

The only variation in prices to notice is in Irish Butter,
which in some instances has sold at Is. higher. Bacon con-
tinues in good demand, and in most other descriptions there is
a steady business doing.
OIL MARKET.

This department is very flat for all descriptions, not even
excepting the fine descriptions of Fish. Considerable uncer-
tainty attaches itself to prices.
COLONIAL MARKET.
_ _

To-day we have not had any sales of magnitude, except
those of Coffee. which were rather large. The market con-
tinues quiet. B. P. Sugar sells rather slowly at about the
prices of last week, say from 48s. 6d. to 645. 6d. The quo-
tation
of Barbadoes is from 575. to 653. Coffee about 200
casks, and 312 bags B.P. were put up in three different sales.
This quantity was large, and consequently it sold accor-
dingly, both as to spirit and price. No variation of im-
portance occurred in prices up to the time we lett the
sale room, and none was expected. 642 bags Cey-
lon Coffee were also put up, and fetched about the
previous quotations, 1003. to 105 s. There is nothing fresh
in Tea; low Congous are Is 31 per lb. Rice.—A small
parcel sold at fully the former rates of 14s. to 18s. for Ben-
gal. Cocoa.—Fifty bags Grenada fetched much its previous
value of from 38s. to 515., according to quality. Some small
quantities of Ginger and Pepper realized about the previous
value. Looking at the whole of this Market we should say
that it remains very much in the same state as it was last
week. The imports are rather heavy. For to-morrow we
have public sales of 500 bags Bengal Coffee, 39 casks of
Jamaica, and 85 bags of Ceylon ; 2,700 bags Bengal Ginger,
80 casks Jamaica, and 20 bags Barbadoes ; and 80 hhds. Bar-
badoes Sugar.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
By the arrival of the Royal William steamer, at Liverpool,
we have received New York papers to the 21st of October.
The most important information they contain is the proclama-
tion of the Earl of Durham, which is of great length, and
will be found in another part of our Paper, with various other
information from the United States and Canada. The Ex-
change comes 91 to 9L; Bank Shares declined to 119+.
" MONEY MARKET, FRIDAY, OCT. 19.—The Money Market
is in a most interesting and curious position since the sailing
of the Great Western. The fluctuations and decline of the
Stock Market have been considerable. To-day there was
some firmness, with a tendency to rise, but the general character
still remains the same. Since the resumption of specie pay-
ments, the general prices of commodities have held their
ground, and some of them have even advanced. Tobacco is
rising ; the other elements of price generally are healthy.
" To.day considerable transactions took place in foreign ex-
change for the Royal William steamer.' The United States
Bank has been drawing for several days at 1091; this caused
all other drawers to come down to the same rates. But for
the United States Bank the rates of bills would advance at
once to 110+ ; yet this rise would only ha temporary. A ge-
neral opinion prevails that foreign exchanges will fall to 107,
108, or 109, as soon as the bulk of the southern cotton bills
are precipitated into our market. The Ist of October is the
close of the year of the south, but cotton exchange will not
become plenty for some weeks to come.
" The movements of the United States Bank are therefore
looked to with great interest, and have become matters of
great speculation. That institution has a large amount of
funds in Europe, probably fifteen millions of dollars, in addi-
tion to the cotton consignments.
" The position of money affairs in the Northern States are
steady and healthy, in spite of the untowardness of the elec-
tions.

" In the Southern States efforts are making by the Banks to
resume in January next.
" On the whole, we must say, that in spite of politics, this
country is gradually, we may say rapidly, recovering from the
extreme depression of 1837 ; we have the elements in greater
abundance than any other ; our elasticity puzzles and mystifies
all English financiers.—New York Herald, Oct. 20.

We have received the Quebec Papers to the 16th of Oct.
Some of the Ministerial papers state positively that Sir John
Colborne will establish his head-quarters at Montreal, and
occupy Mr. Bingham's house, which has been fitted up for his
Excellency the Governor-General. Some of the civil officers
will also be transferred to Montreal. Quebec at least will be
quiet during the winter.
We have received private letters from the river Chambly of
the Bth inst. from a gentleman. Alluding to the reports in the
newspapers of disloyal conspiracies in that quarter, he assures
us that there is not the slightest foundation for that assertion.
The news received from the Black Sea, of a large Russian
naval force assembling there and coming to Constantinople, is
not credited. It originated with the Hamburgh Papers, re.
ceived by the Hamburgh mail, and has not had any effect on
the British funds this morning.

YELLOW FEVER IN CHARLESTON.—Private accounts were
received yesterday, 19th Oct., at New York, stating that the
epidemic was unquestionably the yellow fever, and is more
severe than has been known for twenty years. Numbers GE
native citizens were daily falling victims to its ravages.
A New York Paper of the 20th ult. says-4, The dispute
between France and Mexico is not yet adjusted. The Board

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of this Evening.)

SUGAR —The transactions in the British Plantation mar-
ket on Wednesday last were extremely limited, the pur-
chases amounting to only 100 hhds and trs, at prices 6d
under those previously quoted for brown and low yellow
descriptions, but good and fine yellow s. its maintained
their former value, the supply continuing short ; on Thurs-
day and Friday, however, buyers came forward more freely,
and a pretty good demand was experienced for grocery and
and refining descriptions, the operations amounting to 1,300
hhds and trs at the rates of the previous day, besides which
123 hhds 17 trs Barbadoes at public sale sold at former
prices, mid to good yellow at 583 to 63s 6d, ord brownish,
553 to 563; privately greyish St. Vincent's, have been sold
at 51s 6d, better, St. Kitt's at 525, mid Demerara, Jamaica and
Antigua 53s a 545, good mid and good 553 a 57s 6d, fine up
to 643 a 633; the stork continues on the increase; the deli-
veries are still falling GIT, and are likely to continue so, at
lca't for the present, the Fruit crop having proved very de-
ficient, and only a few of the refiners ate at work ; the
imports this year have exceeded those of last by upwards 20.000
hhds and trs : the average Gazette price is 5s 9id less than it
was at this time last ,ear, and when compared with that of
1835 it shows a decline of Os 61 per cwt. The last accounts
received from Jamaica and other places represent that the
negroes were working peaceably.
This afternoon good and fine grocery descriptions were in
steady request by private contract at full prices ; but the re-
mand for brown and low sorts was very limited ; Importers,
however, refuseclao sell under the prices of Friday ; the pri-
vate purchases amount to 600 hhds and Ira ; at public sale
123 hhds Barbadoes sold readily, low to middling qualities at
fully previous rates, but the better sorts brought 6d to Is ad-
vance, fine yellow sold at 651 to 663, middling to good 59s 6d

being 18,996 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 71,440 bags, which is 21 547 more than last year.
The delivery of West India last week was 2,371 hhds and
trs, which is 155 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius
was 2 912 bags, being 1,229 less than the corresponding week
of last year. The Gazette Average Price is now 31s 7d,
against 37s 44d in 1837, and 41s in 1836.

descriptions of Refined goods, and previous prices have not
been supported by Is; for good strong Lumps 735, and
for fair 71s to 721 has been accepted. Exporters keep

Counsel contended that, as the defendant was virtually in cus-

the motion was ivitnintbe equitable construction of the late

DESTITUTE POLES.—Eight Polish refugees came to this
office yesterday to ask Mr. Twyford's advice under the fol-
lowing distressing circumstances :
After mentioning the destitute state in which they were,
one of them presented the following paper to the Magistrate :
