HAY MARKETS.

The supplies were moderate, but the demand was tolerably
good. Prices much as before.
TEA MARKET.

The holders would not sell at lower prices, and the buyers
lid not purchase largely. Prices very firm.
TALLOW NIARK

The price of this article fluctuates, and where saki are forced
lower prices are taken, 494. 3d. has been paid for P. Y. C.
COLONIAL MARKET.

But little done in any description of Colonial produce. B.P.
Sugar sells slowly at say 555. to 565. for low brown ; 595. to
635. for yellow; and 68s. for fine. In other kinds of Sugar
prices were firmer. The Coffee market presented no novelty,
and there has been little done in it. Nothing done publicly in
Rice, Cocoa, or Spices. Imports light.

DEATH CONSEQUENT ON DESTITUTION
AND DISEASE.—An inquest was held on Wednesday in the
House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, on the body of John
Pritchard, aged 32, formerly an artillery man in the East India
Company's service. From the evidence it appeared that de-
ceased was committed on the 15th, from Bow-street, as a
vagrant, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. When
admitted, ha was in such a destitute and disabled state that he
could not walk without assistance, and was immediately placed
in the infirmary, where he lingered until the 25th, during the
night of which he was seized with fits, of which he expired.
Mr. Chesterton, the Governor, said when the poor fellow was
admitted he appeared fitter for an hospital than a House of
Correction, which was never meant to be a refuge for the
destitute. The Coroner thought the workhouse would be a
proper place to send persons whose only crime was wandering
ab mit in a sate of destitution and disease, and that the Magis-
trates had the power of insisting on their admission into the
parochial asylums for th? poor. The master of a workhouse
efusing to take in a case of destitution, and devil in the
streets -following that refusal, might, if the law were enforced,
find himself, in twenty-four hours, the tenant of a prison.—
Verdict, " Died in a fit."

•
FATAL ACCIDENT.—A Coroner's inquest was
held on Wednesday evening at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the
body of Mary Ann Penn, aged nineteen years. It appeared
that on Wednesday two men were lowering a bag of wool from
the thin 1 story, when it wafc tunately fell and struck her with
such violence as to fracture here spine and collar-bone. She
was immediately taken in a coach to the above hospital, where
she languished until Monday morning, when death terminated
her suffering. Verdiet—" Accidental death."
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morning,
as the train of waggons was approaching the Brighton terminus
near New England Farm, a railway labourer, named Smith,
incautiously jumped from one of the waggons, and was thrown
with great violence upon the rails, falling upon his head. Mr.
Long, surgeon, was sent for ; but the unfortunate man was
dead before he arrived, having survived the accident only about
a quarter of an hour. The waggons had passed over his body;
and one of his arms was dreadfully crushed.

MONEY A ND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVEIIPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY —The sales
of this day are 2,500 bags at Saturday's prices, buyers not
being inclined to give the advance in prices on Monday.

Two Hamburg mails have arrived ; one still remains due.
HAMBURG, JAN. 21.—Exchange on London 13 51,
higher than the last arrival ; gold same as per last, 430.
Accounts from Hamburg state that there were 70 vessels
at the entrance of the river at Cuxhaven, but the river was
covered with ice, which caused their being detained ; since
which it has thawed, and if it lasted one week the naviga-
tion will again be free.

The D..tch mail of the 25th inst. has arrived ; by it we
have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday, whit'.•:
brings the Dutch prices from Ams erdain a day later, of the
25th January--Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52-; Five
per Cents., 98k; Ardoin's,
AMSTERDAM, JAN. 26.-o,ving to the Funds coming
higher from London on Thursday, our local Funds were
in demand, and a great deal of bw.iness was done in Inte-
grals ; there was also a demand for the Society of Com-
merce Actions, at an improvement of a per Cent. The
French courier had not arrived, and the uncertainty of
Cabrera's death continues, in consequence of which Ar-
doin's Spanish was not in demand, and rather lower, ow-
ing to the price coming lower from Antwerp.
ANTWERP, JAN. 27.—Yesterday, about four o'clock in
the afternoon we experienced a terrible storm, as well as
in the environs, of rain, with thunder and lightning, ac.
eompanied with violent gusts of wind. A person who came
by the railroad from Brussels, states that all the fields:
about Brussels were inundated ; each side of the railroad
appeared like a sea, and a great number of trees have ten
blown down.

By the intelligence from Antwerp, it appears that they
have experienced the same unfavourable and stormy wea-
ther as we had here.

In Holland the Second Chamber of the States General
has been prorogued to the 15th March.
We have several arrivals this morning of foreign mai!s,
French, Ostend, Dutch, and Hamburg, but their contents
are not of much importance, with the exception of the
prices of the Funds from various quarter.

reat expectations were anticipated yesterday on the
result of the meeting of the Spanish Bondholders, but we
are much afraid they will be disappointed, at least for some
time to come; we must repeat again, that all the money
that the Ministers can scrape together will be required for
the supply of the former. Sell preservation is the first
law of nature; the proper time for the Spanish Bondholders
to claim their just debts would have been when the civil
war in the South of Spain had terminated.

We have seen a letter from Cork this morning, stating
that the New York packet ship, which sailed from Liver-
pool on the 7th instant, after being 20 days out, way
obliged to put into Cork, owing to the boisterous state of
the weather. (The above ship is named the New York.)

Extract of a private letter from Amsterdam, of the 27th
Jan. :—" We learn from a certain source, the difference
which existed between the Court of Holland and that of
Brussels on the subject of the sequestration of the property
of the House of Orange, has been entirely arranged to the
satisfaction of both parties."
Accounts from the Hague state that several members o'
the Second Chamber have left their residences, and on
their return the Government will present the financial law.
We are impatient to learn the resolution of Government
on the subject of the :revision of the fundamental law; ac-
cording to report all the sections egree on that point. On

We have received a Charleston Paper a week later, to
the 2i January (the Charleston Courier), brought by
the Silas Richards, arrived at Liverpool.
Yesterday and the day previous were holidays, and the
streets, churches, and places of public resort were filled
with numerous strangers, now in the City; the President's
house was thronged wi:h visitors, and Mr. Van Buren ap-
peared in excellent health and spirits. Latest dates from
Liverpool, 22d November ; latest from Havre, 17th Nov.
EXCHANGB.—The demand has been quite fair during
the week, and it will be seen rates have still further de-
clined, except in New Orleans, which has advanced 1 to
1 per cent.

FREIGHT. —Some activity prevails in this line. Three
ships for Liverpool, a barque for Greenock, and a ship
for Havre, have been taken up during the week.
Little business has been done in the course of the morn.

Mary Stuart was performed at Drury-lane
Theatre last night to a crowded audience. The scene in the
fifth act, between the Queen and Ruthven, made a powerful
impression on The audience. The tragedy was followed by a
comic opera, in one act, called My Lord is not My Lord ; a
sort of version of a French piece produced some five-and-twenty
years ago. The music is not bad, nor is the piece itself.
A meeting of the Peers of Parliament now in
town, and of the Members of Parliament and other landed pro-
prietors of that country, was held on Wednesday last, the
Marquis of Downshire in the chair, to take into consideration
the Bill introduced by Mr. Labouchere, the President of the
Board of Trade, for the repeal of the law which prohibits eth
importation of foreign flour into Ireland.

II OUL4E OF COSIMONS.

(THIS DAY.)

The Speaker tool; the Ch;jr this morning at half-
past ten o'clock, and shortly afterwards, accompanied by
several members, proceeded to St. Margaret's Church.
for the purpose of attending Divine Service, this being
the anniversary of the Death of King Charles I.

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE
MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Herald of this day, speaking of the judi-
cial result of the argument before the fifteen Judges in the
case of the Newport Chartists, observes :—" We take it
that the fifteen Judges did not sit either as a Court of Ap-
peal from the Special Commission, or as a Court of
Error. The other twelve Judges were called in, as we
consider it, to give their advice and assistance to the
three Judges who tried the prisoners; and when we find
that after hearing the question solemnly argued by able
Counsel during several days, before themselves and all
their venerable brethren, the majority of the Judges who
sate on the Special Commission, decided both points fa
favour of the prisoners, it should be followed by the
sime consequences as if the majority had de-
cided in the same way at Monmouth—that is, a
verdict of acquittal should be recorded in all
the three cases."—The Mornin7 Chronicle remarks, with
reference t, Sir John Yarde Buller's motion While
the Tories are mooting in the House of Commons the
question of confidence isv the Government, the people are
mooting, in different ways, the question of confidence In
the Tories. A tolerably distinct answer in the negative
has been given by the late elections. They show no
symptoms of the boosted reaction ; and the reply is not
confined to the electoral bodies. The non-electors have
given their voice by the operative anti-Corn-law meeting,
held at Manchester on Monday night." The Times. corr-
menting on Sir John Buller's motion, observes, with a
shrewd eye to consequences ;—the discussion is in this case
everything—the division nothing. The object is to
expose the disgraceful history of a Cabinet, which
came into office by fraud, and has sustained itself
there by a wicked compact with the sworn enc-
mica of Queen and people. No detached or
partial questions could have served as the fair occasion for
such an act of retributive justice to a Government which
has failed as a whole, and as a whole, has disgraced this
country beyond the measure of all preceding shame." The
Morning Post thus alludes to Lord Howick's speech in
the Commons last night :—" His opinions and arguments
were very Conservative; and if the conclusion he an-
nounced, be that which he will ultimately come to, how-
ever we may respect his Lordship for the consistency of
his ancient friendships, we shall not be able to give him A
very high place as a logician."
