ELECTION FOR ALDERMAN OF PORT..
SOKEN WARD.—At five last evening the poll was closed,
and the following were th' number 4 :—For Mr. SCALES,
155—for Mr. JOHNSON, 70—mujority for Mr. SCALES,
S 5. The LORD MAYOR then declared " MICHAEL
SCALES, Esq., citizen and butcher, duly elected Alder-
man." Mr. SCALES, in returning thanks, said he should
not carry with him from the place a single recollection of
the past, but be would use his best exertions to reconcile
all party feelings and prejudices of friends and opponents.
He expressed a hop, that the Court of Aldermen would
now give way to circumstances. Mr. SCALES moved a
vote of thanks to the Lotto MAYOIt, and mentioned a cir-
cumstance not generally known : the LORD MAYOR paid
the whole of the • expenses incurred in entertaining the
QUEEN and suite out of his own pocket. The LORD
MAYOR, in returning thanks, said the circumstance of
entet tain'ng her MAJESTY would be to himself a source
of gratification through life. He had thane so with all
the digni'y which he pos•essed—(Much laughter)—and
the only circumstance which at all annoyed him on that
occasion was, the introduction of one of the Common
o,tricilinen, whose name he did not wish to repeat.
" Only think," said his Lordship, " of the idea of intro-
ducing to the QUEEN, while under the roof of tie Man
sion.house. Mr. DEATH."-(Loud laughter.) The ward-
mote was then dissolved.

THE SMUGGLER.—TO the number of those
distinguished writers whose productions have already been
hrought out in a cheap and ports le form in " The Stan-
dard Novels," is now added the names of Mr. BAtaist, the
well-known author of " Toe O'Hara T des." " The
Smuggler," which forms the volume just published, will
now be within the reach of all classes. In this story, Mr.
BANIM has entered a new field, and drawn the English as
he drew the Irish, evidently from life; vigorous paintings,
such as we might imagine HOGARTH outlined, and REM-
BRANDT coloured. The reality with which he invests his
scenes is that of life ; his peasants and smugglers are all
identical individu ils, and brought into strong relief. The
novels of COOPER—of GODWIN—of Miss AusTEK—all
betraying genius of the highest order, but of a different
kind, show that variety is not wanting to suit the taste of
the reader, who is at liberty to select not only the works
~f any particular writer, but even any volume he may think
fit from among this admirable collection of modern novels
and romances.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—EAST RETFORD,
JUNE 27.—We have little to communicate this week,
more than was given in our last; the growth of the
plant has remained nearly the same, owing to the cold
winds which had prevailed, and which in some exposed
situations have certainly been productive of some injury.
In some of the plantations, too, the growers either have,
or suppose they have, an increase of fly; this is, however,
by no means general ; there is nothing particularly amiss
with them yet, providing the weather prove more warm
and genial ; there is no doubt, however, that should the
present cold nights continue, the pr,gress of the plmt to
maturity will be retarded, and the crops of course much
lessened in bulk. Some forwarded trines are getting into
blossom ; but the prices cc old hops are very firm.—
Doncaster Gazette.

HORRIBLE BARBARITY.—In the Spacious
paddock fronting the Crescent houses, in Taunton, are
several beautiful deer and foreign goats, and among them
was a full-grown fawn, which, having attracted general
notice, by its gentleness, hail become a pet animal with
the respectable families of that neighbourhood. On
Monday week last, some brutal villain committed the
monstrous cruelty of cutting out its tongue! and other-
wise so mutilating it as to occasion its death.-,—Bath
Herald.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the" London New Price Current" of yesterday.)

suGke.—The large arrivals, averaging about 6,000 hhds. per
week, and the determinatioe of the buyers to purchase only
for their immediate wants, has given the market a languid ap-
pearance, and the purchases of the week are limited to 2,700
hhds. and trs., yet the holders are firm, and will not submit to
any reduction in price. In the Refined trade there is no va-
riation; the purchases are quite inconsiderable—the prices
steady. It ought to be observed that the wholesale grocers
are entirely out of stock, and that for a length of time no pur.
chases have been made, to any extent, for export. Refined
Sugars at present appear to be quite neglected, there being
scarcely any business doing either for the home trade or for
shipping; in prices, however, there is no material ateration to
quote; the fine descriptions of Crashed are offered more freely
at 305., and one or two small parcels are reported to have been
sold a shade under that price.
MAURITIUS SUGAR —The sales of Mauritius this week are
about 11,000 bags; the yellow about 525. and 535. sold lower, on
account of the great quantity of that description brought for-
ward ; all other qualities went off at full market prices. This
day, by public sale, 4,547 bags Mauritius Sugar, low brown 50s.
a 51s. fid., yellow 535. a 555., fine yellow 575. 6d., all sold about
6d. dearer.

EAST INDIA SUGAR.-There have been inconsiderable sales
of Siam Sugars, mid. to good white 225. 6d. a 2`.35. 6d., and Ben-
gals also at previous rates.
FOREIGN SUGAR.-There are no sales of Foreign Sugars to
report; the shippers offer low prices, which are refused.
COFFEE.-The late advance in British Plantation Coffee is
fully supported ; some good and fine mid. have been sold
rather higher. Foreign and East India are held with great
firmness; 58s. is now asked for St. Domingo; Ceylon has sold
Is. higher, good ord. sold 58s. a 595. 6d., Sumatra ord. to good
ord. 475. a 50s. ; Brazil ord. mixed with black 51s. This day

a 59; 68., triage 41s. 6d. a 575. 6d., about 6d. higher, all sold ;
Mysore, good ord. yellow sold 70s. 6d., being considerably higher.

have been offered, ord. to good Grenada 495. 6d. a 525. 6d. ; ord.

Brazil bought in at 20s. 6d.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There has been some
bustle in the Rum Market, in consequence of the Government
contract for 75,000 gallons of Leewards, 5 per cent. under,
which was taken at Is. 11 d. The prices of Rum are about
Id. per gallon higher, proofs having been sold at Is. 1114 d.,
but we believe there are no sellers at that price, 9 over
2s. 11/ d.; the demand for Jamaica Rum has been general and
extensive; 300 puns., 26 to 36 over, common quality sold at
2s. Bd. a 2s. 11d., good quality 32 over at 3s. a 3s. 68. has been
offered for favourite marks and refused. In Brandy there is
little alteration. Genevais still neglected.
SALTPETRE.-There has been little doing in Saltpetre ; for
rough at public sale not refracted 38s. was offered and refused ;
ord. Madras not refracted sold at 28s.

RICE.—The price of Rice continues firm ; 2,021 bags Ben-
gal of Patna kind at public sale all taken in 14s. 6d. a 15s. 6d.
COCHINEAL—A further speculation has taken place in this
article at 2d. advance. There have been no public sales.

this week—some large parcels of Zante (upwards of 200 butts
and 120 caroteels) having been sold at 655. a 665., ar I the
holders now demand Is. per cwt. advance upon those prices;
Valentia Raisins also continue to be taken off at low prices,
but for other sorts there is scarcely any demand.

TEA.—There is a considerable demand for Boheas in the
Market—the large chests are at 3/, d. per lb. prem.
SILL—The Silk Sale finished this afternoon ; the average is
about sto 10 per cent higher. Ths finest sorts were mist in
demand ; good coarse Silk, being scarce, went off with spirit.
INDIGO.—The Market remains firm at the late advance.
