TEA. —The public sales were brought to a close yes-
terday afternoon; of 27,900 packages offered, about
9,500 sold. A portion of very ord Congou sold at Sid
per lb.

TALLOW,—The price of this article has declined
gradually from the beginning of October, and may now
be quoted is 6d to 2s per quarter lower than on this
day month. Considerable uneasiness has prevailed here
in consequence of several failures in Scotland of parties
known to have been cennected, more or less, with Tal-
low, and under the impression. that a large quantity
would be furced on the market some operated for the
decline. As the parties who hold the Tallow on the
spot are not affected by these failures, none of the sales
predicted are likely to be realised, New that the stock
of Home Tallow is exhausted (though the weekly sup-
ply continues good), and the weather is now suf-
ficiently cold to enable the trade to work, we may
expect an ii.creasing. demand and a brisk trade for
several mc'nths.
Tohacco.—'-It ia a task of great difficulty to give a
correct and intelligible statement of the market during
last month. On the part of ladders it has been appa-
rently a contest of painful severity who should obtain
the lowest price. Means have been adopted to effi et
sales far too transparent to escape observation, and
which did not much accord with the principles and prac-
tice adopted in the lite period of contemplated mono-
poly and advancing markets. Manufacturers have fol-
lowed the example of reducing prices with very great
alacrity, and the trade may be considered in a state of
general dissatisfaction, arising, in a great measure from
the entire want of unanimity, either present or prospec-
tive. Sales have been about 600 hhds, a very large por-
tion of which have been of ordinary sorts for exporta-
tion. Recent advices from New Orleans state that the
market was still heavy and depressed for low and
middling qualities; good and fine were rather firmer.
Imports, 1,634 hhds; deliveries, 2,580; against 1.198
hhds at same time last year. Stock, 23,525 hhds. Vir-
ginia has been in moderate demand, and, with the ex-
ception of 100 hhds for Germany, and 30 hhds for
Spain, sales have been made to a limited extent. Prices
have given way considerably.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIS DAY.)
Parliament was this day further prorogued by Royal
Commission to the 15th of January, 1852.
The Lord Chancellor and the other Royal Commis-
sioners having taken their seats on the Woolsack in the
House of Lords, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod was
directed to summon the Commons to the bar, and some
of the officers of the Lower House having answered to
the summons, the Royal Commission was read.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then declated the ad-
journment in the name of her Majesty, and the House
broke up.

The commission authorising the prorogation did nol
contain the significant words, " then to meet for the dis.
patch of business."

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-QUEEN V. BURNES AND AN.

OTHER.—DR. ACHILL' AND DR. NEWMAN.
Sir F. THESIGER said he was instructed to apply to
the Court for a rule nisi, calling upon Messrs. Burnes
and Lambert, the publishers, of Portman-street, to show

cause why acriminalinformationshould not be filed against
them as the publishers of a pamphlet reflecting upon the
character of Dr. Achilli, and entitled " The Fifth of a
Series of Lectures on the present Position of the
Catholics in England ; by John Henry Newman,
D. 1)., Priest of the Congregation of St. Philip
Neil." The lecttire bore a secosd title, namely,
" The Logical Inconsistencies of the Protestant
View," and contained very severe reflections upon
the moral character of Dr. Giaeinto Achilli, who was
formerly a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Dr.
Achilli stated in his affidavit that he tad been resident
in this country since March, 1850, and from the month
of May, 1850, down to the present time, be had been a
minister and preacher of the Gospel at the Italian Pro-
testant Church near to Golden-square. He was an
Italian by birth, having been born at Viterbo, in one of
the Roman states, and he was educated in the Roman
Catholic faith. At the age of 16 he entered as a novi-
ciate in a Dominican convent, and after 'his years of
noviciate he became a professed monk. Is the year
1825 he received his priest's orders from Pope Leo
XII., at the . request of the Duke of Lama, and
at the age of thirty-three he obtained the Roman degree
of Doctor of Divinity. From the year 1821, he began
to entertain doubts as to some of the doctrines of the
Church of Rome, but he was very unwilling to leave
that Church, though in his views as a-contessor and
preacher he varied considerably from thedoctrines and
practices of the Church. In the year 1835,
be was de-
sirous of leaving the city of Rome for another Italian
state, and requested permission of the Pope to quit the
monastic life, hut he did not obtain the required permis-
sion until 1839, when he quitted Rome for Capua.
While at Capue. his preaching and confessions attracted
considerable attention, and excited great displeasure
amongst several members of the Church of Rome, but
more particularly amongst the monks of Capra, whose
mode of life he disapproved of, and openly denounced.
In the year 1841 his private affairs called biro to Rome,
where he was taken up by order of the jetprisition, and
confined in prison fur three months. On his release
from prison, in September, 1841, he left Rome for An-
cona, where he openly renounced the faith and prac-
tices of the Church of Rome. The Doctor's affidavit
then went on todirect attention to the pamphlet in
ques-
tion, and to set forth the particular passage which he
complained of, and which occurred in
page'l97 of the
lecture. The passage, after declaring that the Protestant
world flocked to hear the confession of the Doctor.
with the eagerness of ;devotees, proceeded to ask
"Is be the Catholic and infidel? Is be the profligate
Father Achilli who was deprived of ,his faculty of lec-
turer f, ,r au offence which shall be nameless? o Is be the
Father Achilli who years ago earned the reputation of
being a scandalous man? Who, in February, 1831,
robbed of her honour a young woman aged
eighteen,
and who, in September, 1833, was found-guilty of a se-
cond such crime, committed upon another young wo-
man aged twenty-four? Is he the Father Achilli who

entitled him to make this application; but could the

had already been mentioned?
Sir F. THESIOEB replied
that the affidavits proved

name of Dr. Newman

made to that reverend gentleman to admit the author-
ship so that he might be responsible
individually reonsible
for the language complained
of,
but he had declined to
make any such ethulas
ion' and Dr.Achilli had there-
fore no alternative but to seek redress at the hands of
the publishers.
Lord CAMPBELL—Does the Doctor refute the impute-
tions made against him?
Sir F. TILBSIGER said in every instance he denied the
truth of the assertions in express terms, but it was right
that be should mention to their Lordships that in refer-
ence to the imputation that the Doctor made a travelling
companion of a chorister's wife, the Doctor explained in
period his affidavit that at one of his life a chorister,
named Carlo Beni, and his
wife lived with him as his
servants, but he denied most emphatically that he everhad sexual or improperintercurse with the woman, or ever
made her his travelling come wife of a tailor, the Doctorpanion. In reference to the
allegation about seducing the

said he believed it was true that an Italian tailor in one
of the Roman courts refused

becausesbe bad committed adul-
tery with a certain Achilli, but no such charge was ever
proved or ever could he proved as against him. The
Doctor also admitted that he retired from the college
at Malta, but it was no cause of a disreputable nature,
as was insinuated by the lecturer, or that he need be
.
ashamed of, .and having made these admissions the
Doctor positively swore that there was no truth or ,foun-
dation for the charges which tie lecturer made
against him.
Lord CAMPBELL—Yon may take a i ule to show cause.
