AIARKET INT ELL

(From the New London Price Current of Dec. 15.)
Suonn.—The West India Sugar Market has at length re-
covered from that depression which has been experienced for
several weeks past ; the prices of our last have been fully
supported, and in some instances a slight advance has been ob-
tained ; the refiners have appeared in the Market, and have
purchased to a fair extent, and from the grocers there has been
a good demand ; the quantity of Sugar on show is by no
means large, some of the importers having withdrawn their
samples ; a public sale of 119 hlids. Barbadoes, which oc-
curred in the early part of the week, went at 625. Gd. for good
and line, being full prices for the best lots, but Gd. decline on
the other descriptions ; the arrivals have been 1,890 hhds. and
100 tie, and brls. since this day week ; no public sale of Bar.

Undoes is advertised.
This afternoon the Market continues to wear on improving
appearance; there was a brisk request for the scale as well as
for refining, and an advance of 6d. a ls. on last week's prices
has been generally established ; the sales during the week
amount to 2,600 hhds. and trs.
At length the prices of Refined Sugars have come to a
stand. From the shippers there has been an improved request
at prices fully equal to those of last week, and several parcels
have been taken at 355. a 355. 6d. for double Crushed, and
765. a 765. 6d. long price for Lumps entitled to the double
bounty, and large parcels of Hamburg Loaves for packing at
38s. a 40s. From the grocers the demand has been extremely
moderate, but owing to the quantity of goods ready for im-
mediate delivery there are no sellers at any decline, and 755.
have been obtained for good Lumps rather under the standard ;
a parcel of small Lumps have been taken by the melters at
70s. Bastards neglected, and the ord. descriptions offered at
2s. decline; the demand for Treacle has been moderate. Of
Dutch Crushed Sugar there is none at present in the Market

to offer for sale.
This afternoon there was a good export demand for refined
goods at rather stiffer prices ; sales of double Crushed made
at 355. Gd. a 365., and 365. now generally required, contracts
have been made for delivery in the spring at 355.; there is
an improved request from the grocers, and 755. a 765. paid
for Lumps rather below the standard ; Bastards and Treacle
remain heavy of sale.
MAURITIUS,-This article looks better than has been the
case of late ; no public sales have taken place, but by private
contract there has been a steady demand from the grocers
at fully former rates for the mid and good yellow qualities, but
for a few small parcels of very ord soft brown rather lower
prices have been submitted to.
EAST INDIA.-There have been no public sales of Bengal
brought forward this week, and the demand for parcels pri-
vately for export or home use have been only to a limited ex-
tent at Gd. a is. decline on former rates, 295. 6d. accepted for
good mid. white ; Siam and Manilla are held for our quoted
prices, but of which there are not buyers.
FOREIGN.-The Market has been extremely languid this
week, the demand for yellow Havannah having ceased, and
for white or Brazil there continues to be no request, but at any
reduction on late prices there are not sellers ; there have been
no arrivals.
MOLASSES.-West India this week are not to be purchased
but at fully former rates ; there has been very little business
done.
COCHINEAL,-There has been less business done this week ;
in the prices there has been no alteration for the small parcels
which have been disposed of by private contract. This day
there were several buyers at the prices of the last public sale,
bu slew sellers.
RICE.-For middling and fine qualities of East India the
Market is dull, but at any decline in prices there are no sel-
lers ; for the ord. descriptions there are some export orders in
the Market, which at present are prevented from being execut-
ed, owing to their scarcity. A public sale of 2,500 bags,
which was to have taken place yesterday, has been withdrawn,
This afternoon a public sale of 8,375 bags Java was brought
forward, the sound, of which it principally consisted, was taken
in at full prices, ord. and good mid, white at 12s. 6d. a 145.,
the damaged went at es. 6d. a lls.
TALLOW..-The market has not yet recovered from the ef-
fect produced by the heavy arrivals, and prices have again
given way ; the demand for parcels on the spot has been ex-
tremely moderate for immediate consumption, although there
are free sellers at 425. Gd. for P Y C ; the deliveries for home
use during the first three days of the present week have been
only 1,000 casks ; a public sale of 600 casks Petersburg is ad-
vertised for Friday next ; the operations for forward delivery
have been only to a very trifling extent at 435. a 435. 3d. for
the spring months. The total quantity of Tallow arrived
since last Friday has been 25,000 casks. There continues to
be a large supply of home produce, but there is very little de-
mand for the same, and prices are rather lower of Town.
Russ, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Market for Rum
has become dull ; there has been very little disposition evinced
on the part of the buyers to purchase this week, and although
the supply at Market is short, yet there are sellers of Jamaica
and Leewards at rather lower prices, and there has been
scarcely any business done; 749 puns. and hhds. have arrived
since last week. Brandy has secured a steady sale. Geneva
is neglected.
Wooe.-There has been a pretty good business done in the
English Market ; the transactions in the Foreign descriptions
have been unimportant. Public sales of Colonial are expected
to take place about the 20th of next month.
INDIGO.-The transactions in the East India descriptions
have been very limited this week ; the prices remain firm. The
quantity declared for sale in January amounts to 1,300 chests.

several shillings, particularly the best qualities, Friesland sell-
ing at 100 s. a 108 s., and Kiel and Holstein 100 s. a 112 s. In

White's, Dec. 8.
MY LORD,—Being legally advised that a prosecution of
the Satirist will not afford me an opportunity of calling wit-
nesses to substantiate the distinct charges I havo made
against you, and that it is inadmissible that my reputation
for veracity should be made in the slightest degree contin-
gent on the defence of a third party, over whom I can have
no control, I take the liberty of submitting to your Lord,
ship the propriety of bringing an action for defamation
against myself, if you wish a legal investigation of our accu-
sations, and not merely an easy verdict over a Sunday news-
paper for an acknowledged mis-statement.
I have not the least dread of being brought before the
public; but should, on the contrary, seize with eagerness
any opportunity to explain and prove my whole conduct in
this deplorable affair, feeling confident that if I have com-
mitted any error during its progress, it is not one which
would be judged severer), by others, or with which it becomes
your Lordship to reproach me.
I shall not now attempt to etunbat the statement or imi-
tate the tone of your Lordship's last letter, my wish through-
out being to avoid angry and premature discussions, and to
bring the whole question fully and fairly before any impar-
tial tribunal.

Your Lordship prefers a legal one. A legal one let it
be ; but one where I can prove my own allegations, call
my own witnesses, and appoint my own legal advisers. Any
other trial must be a mockery, as far as I, and those
whose names are associated with mine in a recent appeal
to your Lordship ,are concerned.
We proposed a committee of gentlemen, because publAie
opinion pointed it out as the fittest ; and, to avoid all 'Anis-
apprehension, I must add, that we did not mean a comrAlittee
of Graham's Club, but one composed of persons selected by
mutual consent, and which we should be happy to see pre-
sided over by * * *

I offer to take the whole onus probandi on myself indivi-
vidually, because two of the other parties who sigped the
former letter are in the country. Should you prosecute
us collectively for the purpose of neutralizing part of the
evidence, we have still sufficient to prove the case.
I have only to repeat, that I am ready to prove the
truth of my own allegations whenever I may have, a fair
opportunity of doing so, and that your Lordship vim not
disprove that which I assert to be true by briuging me for-
ward to prove what I admit to be false.

I remain, my Lord, your most obedient servant,
Lord de Ros. JOHN CUMMING.
(We have reason to believe that the names submitted
were the Duke of Wellington and Lord Wharncliffc.)

Park-place, Dec. 9.
SIR-I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
`the Bth inst. I promptly replied to the letter signed by
you and three other gentlemen, containing the charge
against me, but I must decline any further correspondence
upon the subject of that charge.
The matter has been for some time in the hands of my
solicitor, and you will hear without any unnecessary delay
what the course is that I am advised to pursue.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
J. Cumming, Esq. DE ROS.
(We have authority to state in conclusion, that Lord De
Ros's solicitor has intimated to Mr. Cumming his Lord-
ship's intention to proceed against him for a libel.)

The following ingenious lines were written to de-
scribe the constant rain on Dartmoor. A correspondent
suggests that they may apply to a certain place in South
Wales

" The West wind always brings wet weather,
The East wind wet and cold together,
The South wind surely brings us rain,
The North wind blows it back again.
If the sun in red should set,
The next day surely will be wet ;
If the sun should set in gray,
The next will be a rainy day."
Thus every wind brings present rain, and every sky por-
tends future.—.Merthyr Guardian.

THE STORM OP FRIDAY.—This island, though it
most fortunately escaped the severe effects of the hurri-
cane which raged in England, and even in Guernsey, on
Tuesday week, was visited last Friday afternoon with a
most violent thunder-storm—such, indeed, as had not
been witnessed here for many years. It commenced at
about a quarter after three o'clock, when the sky was
so obscured as to necessitate the lighting of the gas in se-
veral of the shops in town. The rain and hail descended
in torrents for about half an hour, when the storm gradually
passed off, We have not heard of any accident happening '.°
St. Helier's ; but regret to say, that two of the crew of his
Majesty's cutter, the Cracker, which was then lying in Gorey
harbour, were struck by the electric fluid, and lay on the
deck insensible for some time. Doctor I\i'Dougald was im-
mediately sent for, who soon afforded them relief ; but it was
nearly two hours before one of the poor fellows could alto-
gether recover his sight. A person on the pier at the time,
and not far from the cutter, was struck down, as well as
another man working in a quarry, though we aro not aware
that they received any material injury. It is worthy of re-
mark, that a very strong smell of sulpher was perceptible
during the raging of the storms—Jersey Argus.
The public procession, to escort Feargus O'Connor
into Glasgow, took place on Monday evening by torch light.
The arrangements were conducted by a Committee of the
Scottish Radical Association, who met him at six o'clock
at Port Eglinton, where the procession was formed, five
a-breast, with torch bearers, arranged at equal distances
along the two sides of the line. Mr. O'Connor was seated
in a carriage and four, in which were Dr. Taylor and severe.
gentlemen. The whole were preceded by a band of music.
On account of the unfavourable state of the weather, neither
the numbers in the procession, nor those looking on were
great ; in other respects, the demonstration went off well.
It is but fair to Mr. O'Connor to announce that he spoke
with fluency, occasionally with considerable eloquence and
power, that he avoided the most distant approach to per-
sonal reflections of any sort, and that in the advocacy of
his particular political doctrines, he was guilty of no vio-
lation of taste, no impropriety of thought, no harshness of
expression. He answered in distinct terms that be was
no revolutionist ; and when he spoke of the Reform of
the House of Peers as to be accomplished in only one of
two ways—revolution, or overwhelming majorities in the
House of Commons—he broadly stated, that he was de-
cidedly hostile to the first, and that he clung to the last es
not merely Constitutional, but also perfectly efficient, and
if the people thought with him, quite practicable.—Scots
Times.
Lady Jemima Wykeham Martin, the lady of
Wykeham Martin, Esq., and only remaining child of the
amiable and benevolent Earl Cornwallis, is now lying in the
last stage of consumption at Cowes, Isle of Wight. The
Countess has recently joined her, but the Earl is prevented
from doing so by his late accident.
The London mail was upwards of an hour beyond
the usual time of arrival at Glasgow on Monday, and Yes"
terday it was nearly two hours. The weather, since
Sunday afternoon, has been exceedingly boisterous.—Se°4
