COMMISSARIAT RELIEF.
IRELAND.

The following circular has been issued by order of
the Commissary General--
"Augmented ratio of donations on subscriptions for
affording gratuitous relief, and providing food for
sale, .at first cost, &c.

"TO THE SECRETARY OF EACH RELIEF COMMITTEE IN

IRELAND.

"Commissariat Relief Office, Dublin Castle,
20th January, 1847.

"Sir,—Commissary General Si; R. Routh desires to
state, that in consequence of the distress prevailit.g in
districts where the union workhouses are full or unavail-
able, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has authorised
the recommendation of grants in an augmented ratio on
subscriptions, having reference to the extent of destitu-
tion in each district.
" Where much distress exists, the grants will be equal
to the subscriptions. In some cases a greater amount
will be recommended.
"Under the circumstances adverted to in the first pa-
ragraph, the Government regulations allow of gratuitous
issues to the infant poor, to widows, orphans, and chtl,
dren where the supporting member of the family is inca-
pable from sickness or other cause to maintain them.
"To persons requiring relief on such grounds, the
food is a free gift of charity ; but when the committee
sell, it is not desirable to do so under cost price, for it.
is an object to maintain the funds of the committee as
unimpaired as possible, so as to make them applicable to
the whole season.
" Donations granted before the present regulations
was made cannot now be enlarged ; but the lesser ratio
of such grants will be considered whenever lists of ad-
ditional subscriptions shall be received from the same
relief districts. _ _ _

" Subscriptions and donations in aid of them, may be
appropriated, where a distinction is necessary, to loca-
lities for which the sums subscribed shall have been in-
tended by the contributors ; but must still be managed
by the committee, or a sub committee of its members.
"It is particularly requek-ted that the certificate re-
quired by the 27th article of the general instructions may
be affixed to each subscription list.
" Grants are only given placed the

of counties, th„anner pointed out by t_
of Government, issued through this office.
" Where such committees do not exist, application may
be made to the lieutenant of the county, to form them
when necessary.
" The food considered to be best suited for gratuitous
relief is soup. This should also be provided for sale,
where practicable, with a view of economising the con.
sumption of corn..
"Inquiries being frequently made as to the payment
of salaries to the secretaries of relief committees, this
opportunity is made available for recommending, that
in future a member of the committee be requested to act
as secretary, and that a clerk be employed occasionally,
as required, and paid out of the relief fund.
" Where secretaries have been already employed in
expectation of receiving salaries, these can only be paid
where relief funds have been formed, there being no
other source from which the expo uses incurred by com-
mittees can he defrayed.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
your obedient servant,

" W. STANLEY, Secretary."

SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

The slaughtering of animals in town is necessarily
attended, by circumstances which render the practice in-
jurious to the health of zhe community; and it is very
questionable whether any regulations, short of prohibi-
tion, will materially amend the present state of things.
It is no doubt possible to abolish private establishments
of this kind, and to compel all parties to make use of
those specially provided tor the purpose; but, as long as
the practice itself is permitted within the precincts of
towns, so long will it be a public nuisance, requiring
removal.

The views expressed on this subject, in the second re-
port of the Sanatory Commissioners, are very decided,
and, we think, perfectly warranted by the facts of the
case. The Commissioners state that—

House by her Royal liiihness.

JACOBSON V. HUNTER, AND ANOTHER.

The Court was engaged all the morning with a case
arising cut of the sale of a sword belonging to the
lee Duke of Sussex. It had been bought at the
sale of the effects of the Duke of Sussex by
Mr. Jacobson, a jeweller, of the Jewish persuasion, residing
hi Oxford-street, and subsequently sold to the defendants
for 1351. The transaction was conducted by a Mr. Lazarus,
and the question now raised was, whether, in the negotia-
tion with the defendants, Lazarus acted for himself, as con-
tended by the defendants, or as the agent of Mr. Jacobson?
After the examination of a number of witnesses, the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount
claimed.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Landon New Price Current of February 2.)
SUGAR.—To-day the quantity of Colonial Sugar brought
forward being large, and exceeding the wants of the trade,
a further decline in prices took place, as merchants were
willing to sell.
REFINED.—To -day Refined Goods were purchased with
much caution by the home trade, although further reduced
rates were submittal to—brown grocery lumps selling at
66s 6d to 675, and Standard Lumps 675 6d to 68s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.--This afternoon there was little demand for
Mauritius Sugar ; and 5,846 bags at public sale were nearly
all taken in at easier rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was little desire
evinced to operate in Madras Sugar at the public sales,
which comprised .1,603 bags, and the whoie was taken in and
withdrawn—good damp foxey brown at 425, and mid 41s.
Bengal met with little attention ; and 3,780 bags at public
sale only partly sold upon rather lkwer terms.
FOREIGN.—The demand has fallen off considerably fox
all descriptions of Foreign Sugar for home consnption. The
limited business transacted has been at a reduction on former
rates of 6d to is fo white, and is to is 6d for brown and
yello
Te4—The arrivals amounted to 12,000 packages at this
port during the past week, and duty was paid on 496,890
lbs during that time. Importers have displayed firmness,
and refrained from offering any at public sale. This in some
measure is to be attributed to the advices from China stating
that the shipments had fallen off to the extent of 7,000,000
lbs, as compared with the former season. The lower qualities
of Congou are held for the former value. In Pouchong
several purchases have been made, and 5d to 9d paid for low
o fine (vitality. For the inferior sorts of green the market
tins a dna appearance.
COFFEIL—This afternoon there was a lively demand for
Plantation Ceylon, and 990 bags at public sale were sold at
stiff rates. In Native several purchases were made privately
at 433 for good ordinary. Foreign Coffee met with attention; ,
at public sale 71 barrels washed Rio sold at firm rates.
MotaasEs.—The market has a dull appearance for all
descriptions of West India, and prices are on the decline, as
the supply is on the increase, and 23s to 28s is the value of
common tine quality. Bengal Treacle can be obtained upon
lower terms ; siill little inquiry existed privately. 24 butts
and 16 hhds at auction add at 23s 6d.
Rim—To-day the market had a dull appearance for all
sorts of Rice; 606 bags Y 95 pockets Bengal were offered at
public sale—the sound was taken in at 25s for middling, and
at 25s to 2.5 s 6d for good middling white, being barely the
former value.

Sentrrs.— The high prices that prevail for Jamaica Rum
operates against business all descriptions : only small pur-
chaser have been made by exporters or the home trade.
Leeward Island is held for the stiff rate of 4s per gallon, proof
strength, bat little business has been transacted. For East
India the demand is limited, owing to 3s 10d being insisted upon
for proof with certificate. Of Demerara a fair quantity has
been disposed of at 5s 2d to 5s 4d for 33 to 36 per cent over proof.
Brandy has not risen in value, but a good demand prevailed
for all descriptions for home consumption, and exporters
have taken a fair quantity. Geneva has been in excellent
request ; common shipping sort at 23 7d to 23 Bd, and line
for home consumption at 3s 3d to 33 6:1 per gallon proof
strength. Oar distillers are more inclined to receive contracts
at Ile 9d for Corn Spirits, and at 103 3d for gin 22 per
cent underproof; and lOs 9d for 17 per cent under.
Otts.—There has been an extensive demand for all de-
scriptions of Olive oil since our last report, and a further
advance in the value has taken place. For Rape Seed Oil
the demand has been brisk, and further advanced rates have
been obtained. For Linseed Oil the home demand
has become brisk, and exporters have taken several
parcels; an advance in the value has taken place.
Palm is not so much in request, and as several
arrivals are near at band, there are sellers upon lower terms.
Foe Cocoa Nut Oil no further advance in the value has taken
place. Lard Oil has been in excellent request. Cod has not
risen in value. Seal is held with firmness, and a good busi-
ness has been transacted. Sperm is held with firmness.
TaLnow.—Holders of Russian are desirous to realise on
the spot, and have submitted to a further reduction in prices.
For delivery in the next two months there are sellers at 51s,
but few buyers are to be met with. Home made met with
leas attention, and can be obtained at 52s to 52s 6d nett
sash. Other sorts of Tallow are less wanted, and can be
obtained upon rather lower terms.
