THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

HUNGERFORD.
There were average supplies, to-day, of most kinds, at this
market ; and a fair business was done. Turbot, 6s. to 21s.
and 265. ; Soles, ls. to 4s. per pair ; Cod, 2s. to 10s. and
12s. Meat—Beef, 71-d. to 83-4. ; Mutton, 7d. to Bid. ;
Veal, Bd. to 9/el. ; Pork, 7id. to Bi-d. per lb. Vegetables in
fair supply for the season, and prices high.
CITY FISH MARKET.

Supplies to-day much as they were esterday, and the quo
.ations show no important variation. Trade tolerably good.

HAY MARKETS.

The farmers, expecting higher prices, keep supplies back
of old Meadow Hay. The quantity of Clover at market was
large ; Straw in short supply ; Hay. 80s. to 105 s. and up-
wards; Clover, 90s. to 115 s. and upwards; Straw 325. to
355. per load.

SPIRIT MARKET.
There is very little doing in this department of business,
and prices of all kinds are without variation.

TALLOW MARKET:"
P. Y. C. to-day was 58s. od., with but little doing.
DYE MARKET.
Indigo continues to sell on an average at about ls. per lb.
advance on last sale's prices. Logwood is high ; Jamaica is
quoted at 101. to 101. 103. The stock is 846 tons only of
every kind.

COLONIAL MARKET.
To day we have had no public sales in this Market, and
by private contract there is but little passing, very little.
For almost three weeks longer we expect to continue in this
state. For to-morrow we have public sales of 4,000 hags
Mauritius Sugar; 111 bags Bengal; 47 casks and 272 bags
St. Domingo Coffe.e. About 700 bales Colonial Wool, and
2,000 bales Surat Cotton. The imports continue light.
British Plantation Sugar is in very slender request, but prices
are firm.

The Gloucester Hotel, at Brighton, has realised a
fortune in double-quick time, and the proprietor is recently
deceased ; and the consequence is this favoured property
is in the market. Our advertising columns to-night will
enumerate a few of the manifold advantages, and Mr.
Robins's appeal is likely to ensure much competition. We
quote his concluding lines :—" If the motto If comfort and
moderate charges" be appended conspicuously, so as to
welcome every guest, a fortune must be realised, and at a
" railway pace."

REPRESENTATION OF DEAL AND SAND-
wiclL—Sir James Carnac having been nominated to the
Presidency of Madras, and thereby having vacated his seat
as M.P. for the borough of Sandwich, Deal, and Walmer,
a meeting of the electors was held on Thursday week at
Deal, when Sir Rufane Donkin was introduced to them
by Sir E. Troubridge, Bart., as " a fit and proper per-
son, and everyway qualified, to represent the Liberal bur-
gesses" of that very liberal borough. Sir R. Donkin has
since canvassed the electors, and in his Address expresses
himself fully satisfied that he shall be successful.—Canter-
bury Journal.

MEETING OF UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE DELE-
GAIES IN EDINBURGH.—On Wednesday evening a pub-
lic meeting of the advocates of Universal Suffrage, &c.,
was held on the Calton Hill by torch-light, for the pur-
pose of considering the propriety of adopting a series of re-
solutions condemnatory of appeals to physical force, and ex-
pressive of " their unshrinking confidence in the efficiency
of the many moral means which the people possess for the
achievement of their rights," which resolutions had been
framed and agreed upon at a meeting of Delegates from
various Universal Suffrage Associations in Scotland, held
in this city on the previous evening.—Scotsman.

Men are now employed planting young trees in St.
James's-park, in the room of those which had been blown
down, and others decayed by age.

Since the 'Whigs came into office they have had the
appointment of eight English Bishops, a third of' the whole
number, (exclusive of the two Archbishops,) m I.
—aituY, Otter,
Allen, Musgrave, Butler, Stanley, Longleb and Denison.
