against the consumption of Oranges, but as the stock is
limited the price has not been affected. Two cargoes.
ex Idea awl Damsel, from St. Michael, sold by Keel-
ing and Hunt at public sale, went at an improve-
ment of is to 2s per box. Tile arrivals from Lisbon
have been large, but as some of the par-
cels have been landed out of condition, tbs
price of those of sound quality has been en-
hanced in consequence. The anticipated drawback to
the vegetation in this country has somewhat improved
the demand for nuts of all kinds, and as the holders of
the article feel disposed to quit stock, buyers have been
met without any advance in price. The demand for
lemons is dull owing to the enbt character of the seasoll.

THE IRISH MEMBERS AND LORD

JOHN RUSSELL

At a meeting of the Irish Members held yesterday,
convened for the special purpose of replying to the pro-
position of Lord John Russell, it was rebolved:
" Thai, as a body, we are not prepared to pledge
ourselves to the adoption of any particular tax to be
impcsed upon Ireland.

We are not unwilling to discuss any proposal for
this purpose, upon its own metits, in the Howse of Coup'
mons; but, without hearing the arguments which might
be adduced upon the question, and ascertaining the caps'
bility of Ireland to bear inereast d taxation, we could
not be in a position to answtr for our constituencies,
and must, therefore, abstain from offering any opinion
to the Government as to the course which it may thiux
proper to adopt.
(Signed)

"Lucius O'BraEx, Chairman."

TIM LONDON HOSPITAL.—The usual annual din-
ner of this long established and valuable charity took
place last night at the London Tavern, where about one
hundred and fifty gentl.men assembled to do honour
to the occasion. Mr. W. Colson was chairman, and
ably advocated the claims of the hospital on public bene-
volence. It appears from the report that during the
past year 4,185 patients, each for any average period of
one month, have been admitted into the wards, and that
364 applications have been refused for want of funds.
The value of the hospital in relieving persons who have
met with serious accidents may be estimated from the
fact that the total number of in-patients during the
past year under that head is 2,442, the number of
out-patients under the same head being 6,574. The
amount of subscriptions announced by the treasurer
d. ring the evening was 1,7201., of which sum the
Hebrew table contributed 5001. Baron Anthony Rothe'
child, who was present, expressed his regret that the
sum was so small. He stated that he had written 2,000
letters soliciting contributions, but so great was the
scat city of money out of the banks he had failed to get
more. The dinner was in the usual excellent style of
the London Tavern. The musical arrangements were
under the direction of Mr. Francis. Mr. Higgs wee
toastmaster.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—The court, which
was to have been held for the dispatch of business yew.
dy, was postponed in consequence of the Lord
