THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 18.

The supply of nearly all sorts of brain since Monday. are
tolerably good, and most of our buyers being in want, occasions
a fair demand for nearly every article of a good quality. Wheat,
m:hicii is fine, supports Monday's prices, as there is rather more
trade for ordinary samples. Barley, Beans, and Peas remain
in price as on last Monday. Oats fully maintain their prices,
but the trade is not brisk.

Importations since Monday :
Wheat B,2oo.—Barley 4,700.—0ats 16,300.—F10ur /200.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, OCT. 18.
The number of Oxen in the market this morning were-not
so numerous as on last Friday, but in Sheep and Lamb- the
quantity were equal to this day se'nnight ; Mutton maintains
its price, and all other, Cattle may be quoted much the amnesia
price as on last Monday, but the trade appears very heavythts

SUGAR FOR PRESERVING FISII.-Dr.lslTutfoch;
of Edinburgh, has ascertained that the antiseptic quality of sugar
is sufficient to preserve fish, in the most excellent condition. He
states, that this substance is so active, that fish may be preserved
in a dry state, and perfectly fresh, by means of sugar alone, and
even with a very small quantity of it. Hellas thus kept salmon,
whitings, and cod, for an indefinite length of time ; and by this
simple means fresh fish may be kept in that state some days,
so as to be as good when boiled as when just caught. It is
added, that "if dried and kept free from mouldiness, there
seems no limit to their preservation; and they are much better
in this way than when salted. The sugar gives no disagreeable
taste. This process is particularly valuable in making what is
called kippered salmon ; and the fish preserved in this man-
ner are far superior in quality and flavour to those which are
salted or smoked. If desired, as much salt may be used as to
give the taste that may be required; but this substance does
not conduce to their preservation. In the preparation, it is bare-
ly necessary to open the fish, and to apply the sugar ,to the
inuscular part, placing it in a horizontal position for two or
three days, that this substance may penetrate. After this it may
be dried; and it is only farther necessary to wipe and ventilate
it occasionally, to prevent mouldiness. A table spoonful of
brown sugar is sufficient in this manner for a salmon of five or
six pounds weight ; and if salt is desired, a tea spoonful or
more may be added ; saltpetre may be used instead, in the same
proportion, if it is desired to make the kipper hard."

A ROBBER SuoT.—The dwelling-house of
COOPER, Esq. of West Ham, had been
burglariously entered, and robbed several times
within the last few months of property of various
kinds to a large amount. A suspicion being
entertained of some of the servants being privy-
to the robbery, Bacwri, the City officer, attended
at the house to investigate the matter; but all
efforts to discover the thief were unavailing until
a few nights ago : while the butler was on the
watch in the pantry, the robber entered the
house ; but finding himself discovered, he made
a hasty retreat, followed by the butler, who
discharged his piece at him, and lodged the con-
tents (small shot) from the back of his head to,
his loins. The robber then turned out to be an
old servant, who had lived many years in the
fainily. lie is now in the Lout:in Hospital.

SWINDLERS.—Three females and a man Of very
dashing exterior, lately took lodgings at a house
in Devonshire-place, where they lived in a most
sumptuous style, and• contracted debts to a con-
siderable amount with various tradesmen in the
neighbourhood. On Sunday week they left
Brighton for a day's pleasure, as they said, to
Worthing, but have not since been heard of; and
the landlord of 'the house, and the tradesmea
have found, to their cost, how little outward ap-
pearances are to be trusted.—A fellow of the
name of Dias, has recently been swindling
,a
number of tradesmen of this town, getting their
property under a variety of specious pretences,
which, as soon as he had possession of, it appears
he converted into money by selling or pledging.
Through representing himself to have greet expec,
tations he succeeded in obtaining from some persons
clothes, jewellery, &c. to a very considerable
amount, but finding himself detected, he sans ce-
remonie took leave of the town. He is gone, we
understand, to Margate, no doubt with a 'view to
recommence his operations there. He is a good
looking young man, about 20 years of age, of
pleasing manners, of a dark complexion, and
dresses in the first style of fashion.—(B right on

THE _LONDON JOURNALS.

"'TRACTS FROM THE D \II.Y MORNING PAPERS,

October 18, 18'22.

[THE TIMES.]
The Report to the Spanish 'Cortes_ by the
Minister at War will read. with deep at-.
iention ;—(see ITHE SUNof this Try)—and
elan we not add, with unmingled admira-
tion of the manly honesty, intrepid frankness,
and calm resolution which-. breathe in every line
of it ? No man is so truly formidable as he who
knows and acknowledges the full extent of the
evils with which he has to struggle ; and no Go-
vernment so well deserves the confidence of its
subjects, as that which tells them plainly that
its existence depends on their affectionate sup-
port. Lopez Banos has; by this appeal, to the
nation, taken the only effectual means to,rouse
them He paints for the Spaniards without dis-
guise the attitude of their own military force
!---of their internal enemies, and 'of foreign
Powers. He shows them that they have a
Ministry capable of contemplating and of, en-
countering danger, and not merely bold to
meet it, but sagacious to provide the means
of its 'removal. Concealment and deception
are at all times the resources of a feeble
cause: In this state paper there is abundant
evidence of a conscionsness'in the Spanish Mini-
ster that the liberties of his. country are about to
triumph. The troops of the line, now 52,000,
are to be increased by 48,000, of which 10,000
are in arrear "to' the old - establishment of the
army. 'fhb whole of the militia are to be corn-:
pleted ; and after crushing the domestic foe,
Spain will be in a condition to expect, without
shrinking, whatever chanceS the fear or folly Of
neighbouring State- may bring about. With re-
gard to these Powers, no intemperate or unpro-
voked expressions have escaped the-Secretary of
the War 'Department. It is clear enough that
the military equipments and supplies of the rebels
are suppeksed -to come from beyond the Pyren-
nees, and that there may " possibly" be views
entertained by the Holy Alliance, against which,
says Lopez Banos, it would be wisdom to pro-
vide, since Spain ought not to " abandon her fate
" to uncertain contingenciei, or to the will of
" foreigners". But beyond this there is nothing
• imputed, and no State or Sovereign is -accused of
hostility to the Spaniards ;. while" it is presumed
." that the Government of Portugal will be
" always ready to furnish to his -Majesty in cases
" of extremity, every assistance it can afford."—
On the whole, we think that this official repre-
sentation cannot fail to animate the ConStitu-
tional Spaniards, and to encourage-further the
:most.sanguine hopes entertained of them by their
'advocates among the free nations of the world.

• [MORNING 'CHRONICLE.]
In another column will be Sound a Report
read to the Extraordinary Cortes of Spain in
their Sitting of the Bth inst. by the- Finance
Minister.—(See Tice Sex. of yesterday.)—We
have no doubt either as to the honour of the
Spaniards- or as to the adequacy of the- resource's
of Spain, under proper management, to meet all
the claims on thern.. The disturbances too which
prevail in several parts of the country, particu-
larly the North, will soon wear- themselves out,
should foreign aid be cut off, and if the English,
Ministry do. their duty, they will oppose all
interference with the affairs of Spain, on the
part of
_any Government whateVer.—But though
the resources of -Spain are, if properly managed,
adequate- to meet all claims, a cont►nuance
of the present , financial system must in a
short time' produce national bankruptcy, and
throw the country into anarchy.—When the
Cortes passed their absurd restrictive laws,
imposing a heavy import duty on manufac-
tured goods, with, -a view to encourage Spanish
Manufactures, we predicted what would be the
consequence ; we stated that little or no. re-
venue would be obtained, while the expence of
_collection would be enormously increased, and
that smuggling would become the order of the
day in every part of the country.

[moarildsio. POST.]
We received French Papers last night to the
16th instant. They contain advices from Corfu
of as late a date as the 20th of September, the
nature of which is highly gratifying. The re-
mains of the Turkish force which had taken re-
fuge at Corinth, had surrendered, and that town
was once more in the power of the Greeks, who,
flaying cleared the whole of the Morea of its in-
vaders, had passed the Isthmus, and were once
more advancing to Livadia and Thessaly to loin
the corps which had remained in the Thermo-
pylw and in Etolia, and to resume the offensive
in every, direction. This sudden turn in the
fortune of the -war had emboldened the Su-
liotes to. break off the negociations which they
had carried on for some time with Omar Paella,
and to make a fresh appeal to the sword. The
appeal, however, if we arc to believe what a let-
ter of the 18th utimo from Cephalonia says, had
not proved successful, and after sending 2000 of
their wives and-children to that Island, the Su-
liotes had capitulated and given up their capital
to the enemy. But this advantage, supposing it
to have been really gained, would be too late to
prove of any material use to the Turkish cause,
and the rapid advance of the Greeks, before the
ieinforcements from the Danube could enable
Chourschid Pacha to form another army, would
probably compel Omer Pacha to relinquish his
conquest, and to confine himself to the defence
of his territories.

PRESS.]

At the Quarterly Meeting of the Guild of
Merchants, held in Dublin on Monday, a Com-
mittee was appointed to propose an Address for
the repeal of the Union. This union is like
many others; it would have been well for Ire-
land it had never taken place. That country
never enjoyed the advantages which she was
taught to expect from the measure. But, as in
many other unfortunate unions, a separation after
an union of twenty years, however desirable, may
be impracticable. Could a separation restore

Ireland to what she was at the time of the Union ?1
could it restore the hopes of prosperity that then
filled her bosom; could it remove the present
heavy burdens that then were light—selfish and
cruel would be the policy that opposed it ; hut
it would be idle, to calculate upon any such re-
sult. The consequences of the original sin would
remain without any of its attendant benefits. It
is somewhat curious that the repeal'of the Union
should become so prominent a question, at the
moment when the attention of Government is
more particularly directed to the means of carry-
ing that measure in body and spirit completely
into effect.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The Spanish Extraordinary Cortes have com-
menced the despatch of public business. The
King opened the Session on the 7th instant in,
person, as-.we have announced. His Speech from
the Throne, without entering much into detail,
gives a forcible and scientific statement of
the chief objects which should occupy the
Spanish Representatives during one of the most
important ,Sessions that have yet passed ; and
the first and principal is increasing the regular
Army Establish Meta. Looking to the proceed-
,ings which took place after the King had re-
tired, we find the existing establishment—not in-
cluding a vast force of militia and volunteers—
is 51,000 infantry, and 6,500 cavalry. To this
force it is proposed to add 38,000 infantry and-
-7,600 cavalry. This proposition was formally
moved by the Minister of War, and referred to
the Committee of that department. The fact
alone of proposing so large an increase shows
that Spain has still great resorces of credit and
revenue; for it is not to be presumed that such
a proposition would be made by a Minister
' without well calculating the means of meeting
it. These means, as far as we collect, are a
further draft upon the public credit of Spain,
and an expected increase of the Revenue,
chiefly by 'correcting the abuses which have
hitherto prevailed ?n the collection of it.—
Great defalcations }Lad taken place from the ne-
gligence or dishonesty of the collectors, many of
whom had been removed or consigned over to the
hands of justice. The two-fold objects of this
addition to the military force are stated with
clearness and energy :—" The country," says
the Royal Speech, " demands the assistance of
numerous and vigorous arms to restrain at once
the audacity of her rebel sons; and the brave
and loyal soldiers who are serving her in the
field of honour call for vigorous and effectual
measures to insure the happy success of the en-
i terprizes in which they are employed."

[NEW TI M ES.]
Many people here look anxiously at the price
of Spanish bonds quoted in Paris—that is, the
price-of one market is regUlated by the price of
another not a twenty seventh part so extensive.
It is obviously well worth the while of the French
speculators to make large sacrifices for the pur-
pose of keeping up their own market, if that will
carry up the London market with it.—Another,
and a still more material consideration is, with
what rapidity the debt of the new Democracy
has increased. It appears that routes have ,
been placed in the hands of Messrs. Arbouin,
Hubbard, and Co., to the amount of 36,713,432
reals, answering to a capital of 734,268,640
reals, or above seven millions three hundred
thousand pounds sterling ; and this in a country
which at the present moment does not actually
raise a revenue at the rate of three millions and
a quarter sterling ! This is nearly in the
same proportion as if Mr. Vansittart were
to increase our National Debt by Loans in fo-
reign countries a hundred and twenty millions
in the next two years and a quarter ! 'But tie
most important consideration of all for the Eng-
lish Lenders is whether they have• any chance of
ever seeing their money again. Now, from what
we have already seen, it seems manifest that the
Spanish Republicans are running so fast in the
road to ruin, that even if their system should not
be overthrown, they must come as their predeces-
sors the French Republicans did, to a National
Bankruptcy. We rather think, however, that
the British 'Capitalists expect that Egoas and
San Miguels and Riegos to be swept away, hut
trust the Royalists, when victorious, will re-
cognise-the debt. We would advise them hot to
" lay that flattering unction to their souls."—
The Spanish Royalists deeply feel that the
money thus advanced has been employed to the
ruin of their country. They know that if M.
Ardouin had not been on the spot, with a large
supply of ready sash, to hire patriots, the 7th of
July would have seen the Democracy annihi-
lated., and the King replaced on his throne. With
these impressions, and with the knowledge how
large a proportion of the debt is held by foreigners,
it is not to be expected that monarchical Spain
will ever recognise loans made to the Republi-
can faction.

BURGLARY.—At an early hour yesterday morn-
ing, the house ofJ. Lutyres, Esq. 56, Burton-street, Burton-cres-
cent, was broke into and robbed ofseveral articles of plate, consist-
ing of table, tea, salt, mustard, and desert spoons, sugar tongs,
pepper-box, and bottle-stand. AVni. Read, jun., one of the
Hatton-garden officers, was sent for to examine the premises,
and after looking all over the place he declared the robbery
was committed by experienced housebreakers. The store
room and heavy plate escaped them ; they took nothing
but what was valuable and could be concealed about their
persons. Previous' to departing they regaled themselves
on a hare, some bread, cheese, and cold meat ; they drank two
bottles of Madeira, left the empty bottles, and carried oft' a
couple more bottles and a neat's tongue.
