chiefly for home trade purposes. Holders of Brandy re-
main firm and purchases to a fair extent have been

SALTPETRE.-Importers of Rough display firmness,
and continue to supply the market sparingly, exporters
and horn^ trade buyers are desirous to do business, and
the parcels sold privately were at better prices. The
value of low to fine CaleuLto, is 25s 6d to 275.
TALLOW.-Russian on the spot has been dealt in with
caution, and former rates can be obtained, there is like-
wise a desire manifested by merchants to sell fine P.Y.
Candle at 44s 9d to 45s per cwt. For delivery up to
the close of the year, or for the early part of
1849 few sales have been made, and 44s 9d per cwt are
the rates taken. Home made has been only in mode-
rate request at 44s 6d to 45s nett cash ; the supply ex-
ceeds tho wants of the trade. Other sorts of tallow
met with little attention, and quotations tend down-
wards, there is also a falling off in the quantity offering
for sale. At auction 57 cass of Italian were sold at
41s to 43s 3d; 19 casks Sydney 41s 6d to 425; 218 pkgs

the proceedings in the market are of a less satisfactory
nature; at present, however, we have little variation to
make known in tho value still deliveries do not dimi-
nish. Cod is only in moderate request and the rates
taken are 231 5s to 231 lOs per tun. Southern

active demand still exists and prices yet tend upwards;

smaller. Palm met with less attention, and as there are
largo arrials lower rates have been submitted to.

I IRELAND.
DUBLIN, DEC. 4.—The weather has been truly wintry
for the last few days. We have had frost and snow, rain
and storm, all in rapid succession. The Dublin moun-
tains are covered with snow.
The Belfast mail, due at 5 P. N. yesterday evening,
owing to the depth of snow on the northern line of
road, did not arrive at the Post-office until 10 o'clock
last night.
The mails from England have all been several hours
after time, in consequence of the storms.
Their Excellencies the Lord-Lieutenant and the
Countess of Clarendon are expected at the Viceregal
Lodge, in the Phoenix Park; this evening, on their re-
turn from his Excellency's seat, the Grove, at Watford,
Herts.
Lieutenant-Colonel Carruthers, C. 8., has arrived at
the Richmond Barracks from leave of absence, and re-
sumed the command of the Queen's Royals.
The Earl of Enniskillen' the Marquis of Ely, Mervyn
Archdall, Esq., M.P., and several other noblemen and
gentlemen of distinction, are expected to spend the forth-
coming Christmas at their respective family seats in the
county Fermanagh.
A Dublin commercial statement for the past week re-
ports as follows :—" There has been rather a large amount
of business done in produce, unaccompanied, however,
in a single instance with improvement in price; indeed
the uniformity with which every article either remains
stationary or retrogrades is most remarkable. Most of
the principal articles of commerce can be purchased on
cheaper terms, although the stocks are not large, the
consumption fair, and money easy. Credit is, however,
very well supported, and it is satisfactory to have no
failure either among the merchant or retail trade to re-
port, considering that the losses upon produce of every
sort during the present year must have been enormous.
As for the last two or three weeks, we have again to report
a slight advance in the price of Government securities,
with a quiet market, and very limited amount of busi-
ness. The transactions in shares have not been either
numerous or important, and prices generally are with-
out variation. The tendency of railway shares is, how-
ever, still downward, and they lose a little ground every
week."

The Lord Chancellor has set aside the commission of
bankruptcy sued out against Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy.
By the proceedings in the Court of Chancery on Satur-
day, it appears that the claim which Mr. Duffy disputed
has been withdrawn, and the commission of bankruptcy
superseded, and superseded at the cost of the person on
whose affidavit it was issued.

In addition to those already named, Messrs. James
Doyle, Eugene Martin, Lalor, Hanvey, and Dr. M`Car-
ron, have been liberated from Newgate, on their personal
recognisance. There does not now remain one political
prisoner in that gaol but Mr. Duffy. Smith, the last of
the Ballingarry men (except a man in hospital), has also
received a letter from the Castle, admitting him to bail,
making a complete gaol delivery.
The resistance to poor rate is reported to have ceased
in the Gort Union. In the last fortnight the collection
has proceeded much more favourably, and about 1,5001.
has been received weekly, which, considering the im-
poverished state of the union, is a considerable amount.
Some very beneficial changes have been effected in the
workhouse arrangements.
THE HERO OF SINDE.
LIMERICK, SATURDAY.—The distinguished warrior,
Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier, arrived in this
city, and was entertained by his counsin, Major-General
T. E. Napier, commanding the district, who had all the
staff and commanding officers of the garrison to meet him
at dinner.

On Thursday morning the Gallant General received
some visitors at Cruise's, from whence he departed at 11
o'clock, in company with his friend Captain Kennedy;
R.E., to Newcastle-house, where he sojourned until this
forenoon.

At two o'clock the splendid regiments composing this
garrison, Royal Horse Artillery, squadron King's Dra-
goon Guards, 3d, 47tb, and 92d, will be reviewed at the
square of the new barrack. _

'ln the course of the day Sir Charles will receive depu-
tations from the Mayor, Magistrates, and Masonic Lodge,
who is not only the conqueror, but the pacificator of

Sinde, where' his subsequent wise administration con-
verted a race of warlike and predatory tribes into indus-
trious and peaceable subjects.
At seven o'clock the first banquet ever given by the
united corps in the garrison of Limerick will bo honoured
by Sir Charles, accompanied by Major-General Napier.
The chair will be filled by Colonel Cox, the Quartermas-
ter-General of this district, senior officer, and who has
distinguished himself in many a well-fought battle.
Upwards of eighty will grace this martial board.
It is much to be regretted that the Gallant General
cannot avail himself of the many festive and hospitable
testimonials intended for him, as we understand he de-
parts to-morrow for Dublin.
The following congratulatory address was presented
this day to Lieutenant-General Sir Charles J. Napier,
G.C.8., Colonel of the 22d Regiment :
" We, the Mayor, Magistrates, and High Sheriff of the
city of Limerick, gladly avail ourselves of the unexpected
visit of the gallant and distinguished Sir:Charles Napier,
hero of Sinde, to congratulate him on his ar-
rival in this ancient city, and to express the
gratification we feel at the victorious of
his late arduous campaigns in India,
when, inresults command
of the British troops, he so successfully achieved a noble
and memorable conquest which has shed additional lustre
on the bravery and attachment of her Majesty's troops,
and evidenced the high martial attainments of their chi-
valrous and courageous general.
