quietly. For public sale on Tut sday 150 hhds 13arbadoes
and 3,000 bags Bengal Sugar are dcclartd.
REFINED.—To-dey there was less desire cvinud to
operate in Ittfincti Goods for home trade purposes; still,
in the value no variation took place. For Bonded
Crushed sugar tl.e nyliket is in a viet state at former
rate's.

YAURITIUS —This afterno, n the market was better
supplied with Mauri.ius sugar, and four parcels were
offered at public sale, amounting to 10,614 bags; the
whole, however, stud, and at full rates, but in some
cases the lower sorts went rather cheaper; fine and very
superior yellow realised 40s to 4.3 s 6d, middling and good
383 to 395 6d, low 36s 6d to 37s 61, good and fine brown

Of AlanilLs 633 bags were taken in a 1 16s for low soft
brown.
FOREIGN.—To day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, anti by priva'e treaty the purchases made were
of little moment. The tendency of prices is to decline.
MoLAssEs.—For West Itidia, the market is firm, and
sales tto a tair extent have been insdc from lis to 21s 61.
On the part of holders there is firmness. East India
Treacle is held firmly at 15s Gd to 163 per cwt. There
is, however, not a brisker sale; but deliveries are exceed-
ing arrivals. A further advance in the value of Honey
is observable.
COFFEE.—To•day there was no public sale of Coffee,
aed privately little desire was evinced by exporters or
home dealers to do business. The value of Native
Ceylon is from 30i to 323 6d per cwt. The market for
all sorts of Coffee has a dull aspect.
COCOA —For British Plantation the demand on the
decrease, and rather lower rates have been accepted this
week for all sorts; the stock also continues to get larger.
At public sale 92 bags of Trinidad went at from 37s 6d
to 423 6d. Foreign is held for 27s 6d to 30s; there are,
however, not many buyers.
TEA.—There are again large arrivals, and for the public
sales which will take place on Thursday 20,000 packages
are declared. Black can be obtained upon rather lower
terms, yet town and country dealers have evinced little dis-
position to do business, and a larger amount is offered.

SPICEB.—NILce is not much wanted, and can be 'ob-
tained at a I.< ductie.n; the stock is also getting larger.
Pimento is held with firmness, and the mat ket is less
freely supplied, but the demand fur all purposes
has fallen off. There has not been much desire
to do businers in black Pepper for home use or export...,.

SPIRITS.—The rates asked for Leeward Island Runt
are is 4d to is 5d proof, still the sales made have been
small for all purposes. East India has been dealt in with
caution, and prices are on the decline. The value of proof
is l' 3d to is 31d, and a larger amount is on offer. For
Dr'merara the market is quiet, and prices rule at Is 101

sellers of low and mid sorts of Jemaica Rum at rather
lower rates, as the supply is sbutidsra, still only a
limited home or export ee tu n d has been experien;:ed.
Fine and good sorts met with a fair sale, and
realised full rates. There is a larger Stock
of rum than last year by 10,000 pkgs, and home as well
as export &liveries are moderate. Brandy has been
operat d in with caution, and there is a desire
to sell. Cognac Lest brands of the vintage

is quiet, still holders ask Is 9d to Is 10d for psl,., and
2e 4d to 3s ;or fine home trade sort. There is no variation
iu the value of British made spirit, and the market his a
quiet aspect.
TALLOW.—TO day there was little desiro evinced to
do business iu Tallow, and fine P.Y.C. on the spot
cannot be quoted above 38s 6,1. At auction 550 pkgs
South American in pat t sold at 34s 3d to 39s ; 279 ditto
New South Wales, 333 9d to 39s ; and 50 casks Peters-
burgh Soap Tallow 36i 3d to 36s 61
OILS.—For home consumption a brisk demand has
been experienced for Linseed Oil this week, and ship-
pers have taken several Freels. Prices are higher, and
rule at 26s 6d to 27s per cwt on the spot. For delivery
operations are on an enlarged scale at 27s to 27s 6d
per cwt. The production is barely equal to
the consumption. Rapeseed Oil finds a ready
sale, and prices are on the advance, as the supply is get-
ting smaller. Pale is selling at 38s 6d to 395, and brown
378 6d to 38s. The market is quiet for Cocoa Nut,
and more desire is evinced to sell at from 34i to 36i;
there is a lair consumption. Olive met with less
attention, and on the part of holders a desire
is evinced to sell; Gallipoli 421 to 431; other
sorts 40/ to 411 lOs per tun; there is no falling off
in home consumption. Palm is held for former rates,
the supply being email at present, still there is less de-
mand. Fine quality is quoted at 34s to 34s 6d.
Lard Oil has been dealt in with caution at from 39s to
425. For Oils the market is still in an unfavourable
position. Seal has been operated in with reluctance;
pa!o is offered at 30/, straw and tinged 28/ 103 to
29/ yellow and brown 261 to 281; the tendency of
prices is to recede. Cud is cheaper, and only small
parcels have been sold at 261 to 261 10s. There are few
buyers of Southern; holders ask 271 to 31/ tor low to fine,
as the supply is still scanty. Fur Sperm there is not much
demand, and no difficulty is experienced in purchasing
fine Colonial at 801 to 801 lOs per tun, as the stock is
large. There has been no public sale of oils this week,
and arrivals have been of little moment.

TURPENTINE-There has be en little passing in rough,
and sellers are ready to accept 32s Gd to 33s tor British
drawn. The supply continues to get larger. Spirits
are held for 7s Ga to 8s; few buyers are to be met with,
and there is a lair supply.

THE STANFIELD HAIL MURDMIS.—We have re-
ceived the following strange letter, which we print just
as we rcceived it. Whether it is a more hoax of some
witless fellow, or is really viritten by some tool or friend
of the convict, we cannot even guess. The handwriting
is about es bad us the spelling, but it does not appear to
be feigned. It bears the Liverpool post-rnailr, pith the
following superscription, and is as follows:

LORD CLARENDON—A it umoun.—A rumour is
again abroad that Lord Clarendon contemplates an im •
m diate retirement from the administration of Irish
affairs. We have not been able to trace it to an suihen-

tic s...urce; but a less thing than his Excellcnc)'s !milked
incivility to co many as 25 of his honourable friends at
one fell swo4 p, is enough to set idle people tuna! g. It
is surmised, accordingly, that he never woul t have

made previous arrangements to cut their tociety altoge-

'rift; N PACKET SHIP CONSTELLATION, OF
NEW YORK his ve: sel is 1,600 tuns Geverrmeet,
or eeeie caretmere' measure 'Dent, aid is said to be
the largest trierchaet ship in the world. Her length
on deck (Custom-home meteburenieni) is 204 feet,
breadth 31 (extreme 43), and depth 28 feet
9 itches. She las three decks, with oak
hanging rand lodging knees, and diagonal trutengs
between the hanging knees of both decks, which
must add very matt rially to her strength I...rgitudinally.
The inane ot the Constellation is equal in size to that of
a ship of the line, and she is planked and fastened in the
most approved 81)10. Her mod, 1 ter beauty, buoyancy,
and F peed is all that 1,I;e eye could desire. A full figure
of Cos-mmodore Truxton ornaments her bow, and her
stern is, in itself, a gem of exquisite workmanship, set ofF
wi•li quarter galleries. The pumps of the Constellation
are of the frost approved kind, end are designed to force
out the foul air from below, while they ere in use pump-
ing ship. Her masts will bo fitted with lightning con-
ductors, agreeably to the plans of Sir %V. Snow airris,
except that the fore and main lower masts heing made
sticks, the conductors pass through their c( tyres and
through the ket lsons and keel. The (.'onmtellation'will

the well known packet ship John H. t'kiddy. The Con-
stellation wili leave this port for New York on the 26th

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIIING.—The ship America,
Captain Harrison, which sailed from Bristol on the 21s:
and Ilalifex on the 231 ult., reacted the Mersey early
on the morning of the 3d instant, after a rapid run of
little more than 9 days from the latter port. Messrs.
%Vintner end Smith had a summary of the news brought
by the America placed in the hands of a clerk in charge
of the electric telegraph here about three o'cleck; but
from mismanagement and bungling a delay of 6i hours
took place in the transmission of the message, much to
the annoyance of the London press, and the great dis,p-
pointment of the commercial community. Notwithstand-
ing this unwarrantable delay, the company's chief clerk
here refused to make any abatement in the charge. On
the contrary, by a species of ingenuity any thing but
commendable, he endeavours to force Messrs. Willmer
and Smith to pay one-half more than they have been
hitherto charged for such communications. We deeply
regret to be obliged to stigmatise the manner in which
the Electric Telegraph Company's officers carry on the
business connected with this wonderful and highly-im-
portant invention. To advertise " instantaneous com-
munication," and yet take 6i hours to transmit a message
of 60 words, is really too bad.—European Times.

named Mary linlaun, was killed, arid several others
very ceti eis4 injured; oot them, whose legs were

VITSA.N CIAL
A REFORMEED 3IEETING
T LS.

VISIT OF Mil. COBDEN, M.P.
LEEDS, FlitrDsY, Noon.—At the Music Hall, Leeds,
last night, a very crowded meeting was held to receive
31r. Cobden, M. Y., Colonel Thompson, M.P., A. Henry,
M.P., and other guests of the Cobden bahquet, held on
the previous evening at Wakefield. During the proceed-
ings very great enthusiasm prevailed. Mr. J. G. Mar-
shall, M. P., occupied the chair, and was surrounded by
. nearly all the leading Liberals of the district. "
Mr. COBDEN, who, on rising, was greeted with the
warmest enthusiastic plaudits, spoke as follows:—Mr.
Chairman and Gentlemen—l am sorry to say that, be-
ing a little out of practice, and having had last night oc-
casion to address an assembly of friends met at Wake-
fisl l, I feel myself rather hoarse, and am therefure quite
unable to speak but in a conversatiot al way; but as e
are met here to talk over matters of business, and as it
may he called a sort of domestic inquiry into the aff iirs
of the state—(Laughter)—we shall be able to get on,
I dare say, by preserving the conversational tone. In
fact, our sitnation cow, as it seemsto me, lik
e
that very
that of certain railway shareholders—(Laughter)—who
have had ecca,i .ri to call meetings of the proprietors to
ppeiet con..eaittees of inquiry into the management of
siledirettors.—(Cheers and laughter.) And the people
tof 'Peogland leave also had public meetings to form finan-
cial reform associations to inquire into the conduct of the
Government. —(Eleer, hear.) And really I think it
washigh ; time • for the resolution which has been
moved, and in the sentiment of which I cordially con-
rule has correctly told us that during the period since
1835. the national, the public expenditure of the
eeeintry has been increased nearly ten millions. It was
quite ten millions when we began to appoint these
committees to inquire.—(Laughter.) Now, mark me,
the increase in our expenses since 1835 is as great
as the whole expenditure, nay much greater
than the whole expenditure of the United States for
the government of 20,000,000 of the people there—
(Cries of " Shame.") Well, how has this arisen? Some
people account for this in one way and some in another.
We know that the money has been raised, and as it has
been truly said by this resolution that it has been vainly
spent in warlike establishments. But how is it that this
esependiture has gone on without being checked by one
puny or another? Why, it is simply because the people,
after' 1835, having withdrawn their attention from the
condeeet of their representatives, the old system which
prevailed before the Reform Act passed was renewed,
and the 6 overnment made and the Parliament sanction( d
this increaso of expenditure, partly and mainly, I believe
for the purpose of increasing the patronage of Govern-
ment.—(]dear, hear.) Now, down to 1835, after the
passing of the Reform Act, there was a very considerable
amount of retrenchment. I do not attribute to the Re-
form Act that it was like the new broom sweeping clean;
but I attribute it to the low price of agricultural produce
in 1835, and a year or two previous. It is a singular
fact, but if you look back for the last thirty years
you will find that whenever the price of agricultural
produce has been low the Government expenditure has
been cut down; and, on the contrary, when the prices of
agricultural produce has been high, notwithstanding the
terrible distress which has been coincident with that fact
in our manufacturing and commercial districts, I repeat,
that when the price of agricultural produce has been the
highest the expenses of Government have increased. This
is so remarkable, that if you take a list of the expendi-
ture of the Government, and put it parallel with the
price of corn for the last thirty years, you will find that
the one is a pretty good barefreeter of the character of
the other. And the solution I derive from this fact is
this, that the Government of this country is mainly in
the hands of the landed proprietors; that in times of
great excitement, which must in thir very nature be
evanescent—for the people cannot always be in a state of
popular fever —in times of popular excitement, no doubt,
the great communities—such as I have now the honour of
addressing—the great and popular communities, exercise
a great power, because, when they express their opinion,
it either convinces, or if it does not convince, it alarms
the agricultural interest into an acquiescence in re-
form. Bat as the rural and landed interest governs this
country, when they are doing well and getting high
prices they are willing for taxation to be high and ex-
penditure to be lavish; but when prices come down they
look for a diminution .of the national expenses. It is
one of the great advantages which I should calculate on
from the repeal of the corn-laws, that it will put the
agricultural interest in the same boat with the rest of
the community.—(Applause.) Although they may for
a time try to delude themselves—or the landlords may
try to delude the tenantry—with the idea that they will
get back protection again, and they will return to
high prices once more, yet when they are once con-
vinced, and they will very soon be convinced, that they
cannot return back to the tax upon corn, then, in spite
of all you may hear to the contrary, you will see the
Members fur the rural counties walk into the same
lobby with myself and Joseph Hume.—(Applause.)
They tell Us they cannot compete with the foreigners
in the present state of taxation, and therefore I am
very glad that we losve been the first—that we, the pre-
tenders, have been the first—that the manufacturing-dis-
tricts have been the very first—to come forward and offer
to help the agriculturalists to reduce taxation; and more,
if they will co-operate with us—that those taxes shall be
reduced which I believe press particularly upon that
interest. But I don't want this to be misunderstood.
Our . excel], nt triend, the chairman, very properly said,
that we have burdens upon our shoulders which will im-
pede us in the path even of free-trad-; and to have the
full advantage of free-trade—it is to be sure not perfect
freedom of trade yet, but I suppose we shall soon mike it
so (cheers)—to have the full advantage of that freedom
of trade we must remove the burdens from our shoulders.
But I don't want it to go forth, or to be understood by
our opponents. that we are making this outcry because
we think we shall not be able as well to compete with
foreigners without corn laws as with them. It was
always my opinion, before the corn-laws were abolished,
that whatever texati in we might have to bear, and what-
ever our competition with foreigner: might be, 3ou will
bear it all the better without the bread-tax than with it.
And I say so still.—(Loud cheers.) But if the agricul-
turists complain that, now that they are for the Knit
time suffering under competition, they cannot carry on
their business without reduction of taxation, we have not
placed ourselves in opposition towards them, but we
have been the first to come out and offer to aid them in
reducing taxation. I had occasion last night at Wake-
field, to allude to the attempt that is now being made to
raise the outcry in favour of reaction; that the people
are tired of having corn at 455. per quarter; whereas
they would have had it at 70s. if they had had the late
sliding scale.—(Loud Cheers.) I had occasion, last night
to say a few words upod this subject, because lam
anxious that these people, these parrots, who keep re-
peating words till they themselves believe them to be
true—that they should not run away with the delusion
that the people of the West Riling, who, more than any
others, have contributed to the repeal of the corn -laws—
I say I am anxious that they should not delude them-
selves with the idea that you are in favour of a return to
the old system of corn laws.—(Hear, hear.) They tell
us all sorts of things have happened in conscepence of
the repeal of the corn-lags. There is nothing that is
mysterious that has happ,ned, but it is said was in
consequence of the repeal of the corn-laws. They
have lately hid the impudence to tell us that Ireland is
suffering in consecrance of the repeal of the tax upon
corn. I thought ee had had some irviries into the
state ie. Ireland before the corn-laws were repealed ; I
thought I had read some letters of Edmund Speoser, con-
taining a description of Ireland three hure'red years ago,
much the same as if they had bran Written yesterday. I
tholiglit I had read something in Dean Swift. which
might have been received from a correspondent a work
ago; and I thought that there had been a Devon com-
mission, producing three blue books that disclosed a
state of things most disgrec:ful to this country, and un-
paradcli d on the flee of the earth.—(Hear, hear.) Aud
yet they now come forward to tell us that free-trade has
ruined Ireland. Why, if any country has been in a state
of ruin for 300 years, it is Ireland. What has ruined
it? Ireland has been reined because she wanted some-
thing be.ter than potatoes for her people to eat. And
what has helped them to live? Why, Indian corn, which
was brought cheaply from abroad. Why ? Because
you had removed all obstructions to its importation.
I have heard that some graceless wight once said
that the best remedy for the evils of Ireland was to let
the Atlantic over it about ten feet for twenty four hours.
My nostrum is different. I say inundate Ireland with
Indian corn and good wheat, and that will cure them
better than by letting the ocean upon them.—(Loud ap-
plause, and a voice—" If you feet them, they won't
work.") Oh, yes they will work, if you will give them
two shillings un 1 sixpence a day.—(Vehement applause.)
Well, then, gentlemen, these people who want to per-
sune!e us that there is a great reaction in favour of an-
other corn-law, complain to us in agricultural meetings
in the south of the low prices oF their produce. They
say they have got sprouted wheat. I read this account
in a report of an agricultural meeting iu Suss:-x, where
one of the Duke of Richmond's friends got up and said
—" I have had to sell my sprouted wheat for 325. 6d.,
and to give some to the pigs, as no one will buy it now,
but before the repeal of the corn- laws I could have sold it
at a good price for the people to eat."—(Hear.) This
may be very well for the farmers; but you will not have
to complain that instead of eating sprouted wheat, which
might produce cholera or dysentery, or some bad disease,
you can buy good a

this, that if these farmers in the West of England havelas

the breaking of machinery ; at the new inventions of

oetbreek in Chine and many other things which have
happened in our experience—look at all these thiegs,
which rnay operate upon and interfere with our trade
