BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JAN. s.—The sugar
markets have re-opened with very little disposition on the part
of the buyers to proceed to business ; this is the ease in Lon-
don, Liverpool, and Bristol. The deliveries are falling off
(on a comparison with last year), and prices are declining.
We have anticipated this result fur a long time, and we prove
to be correct. The state of the refining trade is not such as to
tend to any improvement. While all other usually influencing
causes lead us to expect nothing but a still further depression.
Bristol Mercury.
The typhus fever is said to be raging with some se-
verity in the vicinity of Shadwell and Limeliouse.
PRESENT STATE OF THE CANADAS.—In the
debates on the Canada Coercion Resolutions, we were assured
that halcyon feelings prevailed in the breasts of all the North
American Colonists save those of the Lower Canadian French.
Unluckily, the self-complacent assertions of ignorant Wh;g-
Tory officials, are contradicted by the statements of a Tory
observer on the spot, and drawing from the life before him.
elr. Slick in his " Sayings and Doings," has composed his
most laboured passages with a view of persuading the people
that their discontent is unre.,sonable : but he is too shrewd a
judge to assert that the Council and the other institutions com-
plained of are faultless. " The Cioekmaker, or Sayings and
Doings of Sam Slick," is a decidedly clever hook. The
humour is rich and dry, the satire broad and sharp without ill-
nature. The character of Mr. Slick is strongly drawn, well
susteiaed; and persons and things throughout are clearly
characterise d. Spectator.
STATE OF TRADE.,---The demand continues good
for home consumption, an 1, although the recent advances in
wools and yarns are not yet realized upon the goods, there is
every prospect of their being so soon, as tl.ere arc no stoeks on
hand of any consequence. In shipping goods for the spring
trade in the United States a little mere has been doing.__
Leicestershire Mercury.
COUNTY DUBLIN.—An onslaught is to be made
on the representation of the county Dublin. The Mail has
sounded the note of preparation, and calls all good men and
true to the rescue. We trust the intimation will not be thrown
away upon the Liberals. " The plot is a good plot— a most
excellent plot—and full of all expectancy ;•' but if the men for
whom notices have been served only conic forwar.l and claim
the franchise, it will' end like Hotspee's—in the bitter disap-
pointmeet and defeat of the plutters.—Freemum's Journal.
The noble owner of Wentworth, following up that
benevolent feeling for which he is distinguished, cued on the
40th ult. sixpence and a piece of beet to be given t each
workman in his employ. The number served was nine hundred
and forty-eight. On St. Thomas's Day, eighteen hundred
persons also received sixpence each. The quantity of beef
distribu:ed amounted to upwards of four hundred and ten
stones, and the money to 681. 143._york
ANECDOTE OF NELSON.—Being on a visit, when
when five or six years old, at his grandmother's, he one day
went out one day bird's nesting, with a companion of about his
own age. The hour of dinner arrived, but Horatio never
made his appearance. The old lady became Alarmed, and de-
spatched messengers different ways on horseback and on foot,
in quest of him. The voting rambler, whose companion had
left him, was at length*discovered sitting composedly on the
bank of a brook, which he could not get over. His grand.
mother began to scold him for being absent without permission,
and concluded her lecture with saving--" I wonder, child.
that fear did not drive you home" " Grandmother." replied
Horatio, innocently, " I never saw Fear."—Naval Keepsah

MARKETS.-(THIS DAY )

CORN EXCHANGE.

In the lia.4 week the arrivals of most kinds of Grain, also of Flour,
were tolerably good; and the prices of every article underwent no
change from the previous Monday. This morning the fresh supply of
Wheat is fair; of Barley considerable; of Beans, Pease, and Oats mo.
Berate. The weather having income frosty, the factors in consequence
ma!r, efforts to obtain higher prices for all descriptions of Corn, The
best parse's of Wheat, both o'd and n. w, were tak,•n eA by the Miller.
at Is. per quarter a.:vance on last Monday's terms, and all nth• r qualities
were firm at tt.er pree,ding prices. Malting 13,:rlev is liTnited in fltiari,
city, and such has obtained last week's terms without muds hesitatinn )
but of the diit:llers sorts the show Of samples was large, and the buyer
left them without purchasing to.day, though offered at less priceor
Beans that are dry, as also good parcels of Feasc, maintained their la-
mer currency. Oats are becoming less plentiful, and having a good
demand this morning the sellers c!btained Cd. per quarter more than on
this day se'nnight, There is a fair business doing in Flour, without
variation or value.
