PROVISION MARKET.

There was a brisk business in Butter, and the prices were
firmly maintained. Fine Irish brought 943., and the best
Dutch 98s. Irish Bacon not much inquired alter, but firm in
prices. Lard quiet, at 645.
HOP MARKET.

There was much excitement owing to the bad accounts from
the Hop grounds, and the duty has fallen to 50,000/ A large
business was done in all kinds of Hop, and a general advance
of Iss. to •203. per cwt., the chief part of the purchases have
been by speculators.

TEA MARKET.
There was li,tle demand, but the firmness of the merchants
prevented any decline in prices of free trade, though Com-
pany's Congou was sold in some instances at 2s. ld. cash, being
Id. per pound lower than on Saturday.
INDIGO MARKET.
The quarterly sale proceeded with the same heaviness as
during last week, and the decline which then took place, viz.,
6d. to Is. per lb. upon the April prices, was fully established.
TALLOW MARKET.

The demand was limited, but prices did not give way, owing
to the non-arrival of the usual supplies fr)rn St. Petersburgh.
Price on the spot 525. per -.wt.

THE TORIES AND THE ABO
LITION OF THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.

TO 771 E EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The able and spirited manner in which you
have stood up for Mr. Kelly's Bill, forms a singular
contrast to the line adopted by the Morning Herald,
who with its usual insolence and petulance towards the
liberal party, seeks to convert this Bill into the means
of party warfare. After all the vapouring of this
feeble and dull print about " brutal and bloody
Whigs," " ragged Radicals," " shirtless Reformers,"
&c., what do the division lists show ? Let us hear
the Spectator of Saturday last :
" Very few Liberals vote with Lord John on this
question, aria only three Tories with Mr. Kelly. The
Anti-Ministerial majorities consist of the usual sup-
porters of the Government."
Let us hope, Sir, that as this silly print has endea-
voured, with a singular mixture of cunning and preva-
rication, to bold out the Tories to its readers as the real
friends to the abolition of capital punishment, and the
Liberal party as advocates for the continuance ef laws
of blood, you will, in one of your able and talented ar-
ticles, set the public right on this point, and show who
are the real friends of Mr. Kelly's Bill, though opposed
to him on almost every other political question.
With respect, Sir, your obedient servant,
PETER MILDWAYS.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT (IRE-
LAND) BILL.

Our attention has been called to this Bill by a Mem-
ber of the "Committee of the LAW Society of Ireland,
now in London. It is a much more comprehensive
measure than its heading imports, and alters, in many
most important matters, the existing jurisdiction and
practice of the Courts of Law and Equity in Ireland.
We admit that many improvements are contained in
this Bill (which is now before the House of Lords),
particularly in the clauses as to the initial names of par-
ties sued being sufficient—those as to allowing interest
on simple contract debts, attaching moneys in the.
Funds, &c.—and the one enabling Commissioners to
take affidavits of the perfection of assignments of judg-
ments in Ireland. Other parts of the measure would
perhaps require more consideration than at this period
of the Session may be enabled to be given to the sub-
ject, but the law officers of Ireland, and the Committee
of the Law Society of that country have certainly been
most actively and usefully employed on these important
subjects.

ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS
(IRELAND) BILL.

This is a most just and proper measure, it enables a
properly admitted attorney and solicitor into any one
Court in Ireland to be admitted an attorney of the
other Courts without payment of any additional stamp
dut) as is the case in England. We hope the next step
will be still further to assimilate the profession in the
two countries by giving the Irish attorney and solicitor
his fees in British instead of the late Irish currency.
It is a monstrous anomaly and injustice to say that the
Fish solicitor is to bear every charge which the con-
nexion of the two countries may impose, and that he is
not to receive his just rights in return. All such dis-
tinctions should be done away. The Law Society of
Ireland should persevere as to this, and we are con-
fident they will be successful in the next Session of
Parliament.
