cept of Turbot, which was scarce. Top price of that fish
wa, 255. Soles, 6d. to 2s. 6d. per pair; Salmon, 9d. to Is.
per lb., which is lower; Cod, 2s. to Bs. ; Whiting,.3d. to 6d.
each; Haddock, 4d. to Is._

HAY MARKETS.
Supplies were to a fair extent, and the demand continuing
good former prices ruled. The Market presented no novelty.
OIL MARKET.
The only novelty in this Market since our last quotation is
a public sale of 160 tuns Southern, which sold at the easier
prices of 291. to 301. 15s. for the second and best qualities.
TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. to-day is 525. both ways, and nothing doing of any
moment.

SILK AND WOOL MARKET.
Both these markets are very quiet, but prices arc firm.
COLONIAL MARKETS.

To-day again we have but little business doing, and for to-
morrow but little advertised in the primary commodities.
Buyers purchase now from hand to mouth only. British
Plantation Sugar sells languidly at yesterday's prices of from
485., for the lowest price, up to 625. 6d. for the highest.
Quiet rules the refined market still. To-day we had public
sales of 1,355 bags Mauritius Sugar, which sold at steady
prices, which are quoted at 425. to 495. 6d. for brown ; and
50s. to 61s. for low to fine yellow. Small parcels of Cassia,
Ginger and Pepper fetched former prices. Coffee-40 bales
of filocha went steadily; in fact, Coffee continues one of the
liveliest articles in the market. A very small parcel of Salt-
petre, 200 bags, only fetched former rates of 225. 6d. to
255. 6d., according to quality. For to-morrow we have public
sales of 2,100 bales of Cotton, 3,000 bags Malabar Pepper,
small parcels of Cloves, Mace, and Nutmegs, and 200 bags
B. P. Coffee, and 41 casks 316 bags at 9d. per lb. duty.
The imports are not heavy.

IRELAND.

The Irish Papers of Tuesday, which we have received to-
day, bring favourable reports of the state of the weather, and
now speak sanguinely of the improved prospects of securing a
fair average crop.
POLITICAL BILLINGSGATE.—TIIC Packet's bill of fare on
Tuesday, boasts of the following long, but not very substantial
articles :—" The Cormorant Tail,"--" The Precursor Hum-
bug,"---and the " Betrayal of the Irish Peasantry by O'Con-
nell." The Packet is after all but a poor purveyor, and does
not provide such an abundance. of personal and highly spiced
vituperation as is dished up by the Mail in its calumnious
columns.

O'CONNELL ANNUITY.—The collection for this great
national object, as regards the Annuity for the past year, is now
fast drawing to a close. fa Carlow, Killarney, and some other
parishes of the interior, the active friends of the measure are
engaged in getting in the promised contributions, preparatory
to the publication of the yearly report.
MR. O'CONNELL'S LETTER.—We believe we can positively
promise another letter from Mr. O'Connell on Friday.
—Pilot.

PA/ MENT TO MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. —We agree with
those amongst the ranks of the Reformers who insist on the
necessity of paying our Members of Parliament in future for
their services. This is a most reasonable proposition, agree-
ing with common sense, and one which we should hope no
Member of the Hon. House will be mad enough to vote against.
It is, besides, a question of comparatively easy attainment—
being a " Money Bill," the Lords will have no finger in it,
and of course it will pass. It is a monstrous thing to ask or
expect any man—we mean any man whose services are worth
anything to the people—it is, we say, a monstrous thing to sup-
pose that a man of this stamp can abandon his business, or hie
pleasures, or his family, for 9 months out of every 12, to advocate
or to watch over the people's rights, without any return or hope
of return. In the old days of Toryism scats in Parliament
were purchased for as high a sum as 70,000/., but for the
purpose of selling to the Minister again. To be sure, it has
been abolished by the Reform Bill ; but a part of the old rotten-
ness remains. This must be swept away, and we therefore
mark it down in the people's schedule for total abolition.
We shall insist on this, that every Member of Parliament
be paid at least 1,0001. a-year during the time he continues to
represent the constituents who return him. This is the way
to outbid corruption. An honest and true-to-the-people
House of Commons would be " dead cheap" to the people at
650,000/. a-year ; but we would place the " living" quite in
the hands of the people. Let the salary be granted and
fixed, as in the case of our Judges; but let the people have
the right of presentation. A measure of this sort and short
Parliaments would do wonders; and if Judges, who only ad-
minister the law are found nothing worse for being salaried,
we should be glad to have some reasons why Members of
Parliament, who mile these laws, are not to be paid also ?
Pay your Parliament-men, we say, and require them to do the
work well.—Pilot.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE MR. UNIACKE.—What a glo-
rious splutter was made by the Orange Press about a shot fired
into the residence of Mr. Uniacke, of Woodhouse, county of
Waterford, during the absence of that gentleman, which was
set down as an "atrocious attempt to assassinate Mr. Uniacke."
Well, the Magistrates of the district assembled with the Lord-
Lieutenant of the County, Mr. Villiers Stuart, at their head,
and after two days' inquiry, they came to a unanimous resolu-
tion that " the shot in question was a random one (most pro-
bably discharged by a sportsman in the neighbourhood), and
was not fired by any individual with malice prepense." Thus
has this base calumny upon the people of the County of Wa-
terford been most completely and satisfactorily refuted. We
should add that Mr. Uniacke is himself one of the subscribing
Magistrates to the resolution. If Magistrates in other places were
equally prompt and active, similar exposures of fabricated
outrages would come more frequently before the public.

Yesterday information of the following robberies was
circulated throughout the various divisions of the metropolitan
police :—On Monday, the 3d instant, a boy entered a house
by a window, on Mutley Plain, near Plymouth, and stole a box
containing six 51. Bank of England notes, five or six sovereigns,
a gold ring, a diamond brooch, and other property. On the
sth instant the house of Mrs. Shirley, High-street, Barnet,
was broken and entered, and six silver teaspoons and a pair, of
silver sugar-tongs stolen therefrom. Onithe night of the 6th
instant various articles of glass, &C., were stolen from the
house of Mr. G. Bebby, Hatfield-road, near Barnet. On
Monday last a pony and cart, the property of Mr. Joseph Car-
ter, Schoolhouse-lane, Rateliff, were stolen from Harlow-bush
fair; and the same afternoon the house of Mrs. Isom, Holly_
place, Hampstead, was plundered of a watch and a quantity of
plate by a well-dressed man about twenty-five years of age,
who called under pretence of looking at some apartments.
