CALCUTTAIIIARKETS.
(From the Calcutta Price Current of January 13. )
OPIUM.-The Market, as regards sales, has been al-
most without action in the past week. The purchase of
a lot of Benares, at rupees 955 per chest, is reported. The
price of the drug may be considered to be something under
the following quotations :
Patana, Rupees 975 per chest.
Benares, Rupees 945 per chest.
Corrori WooL.—No operation of purchase respecting
this product on the returns for the past week.
Grain has engaged the attention in the past week, owing
to the supplies of the new crop of Rice.
RAW Sitic.—No purchase of this product in the past
week.
SILK PIECED Goons.—A purchase of 200 pieces at 134
rs. for the American market is the only transaction re-
specting this trade.
PusLic SECURITIES.-The following shows a decline
of 4 rs. per cent. on the remittable, eight annas on the first
class, and two annas per cent. on the third class of the
first 5 per cent. loan ; also a fall of two rs. per cent. The
remittable paper is quoted in the Bazaar from 19 and 20
per cent.
Quebec papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house to the sth February, but
they do not contain any news of consequence.

HOUSE TAX REPEAL.—It was supposed
in the gallery, yesterday morning, that the House Tax
Repeal Bill was read a second time. That was not
the fact ; the second reading was again postponed till
Friday next (to-morrow), the day also fixed for the
second reading of the Poor Law Bill.
By the report of the proceedings of the legis-
lature of Antigua relative to the Slavery Abolition
Bill, the Government of that island still adhered to
their original determination of absolute and entire
freedom on the Ist of August next.
BCOTTISII HOSPITAL.—Last night the
spring festival of this excellent charity was celebrated
by a dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern ; the President
of the institution, the Duke of Gordon, in the Chair.
The attendance of the Scottish nobility and gentry
was not in accordance with the worth and importance
of the charity. With the exception of his Grace the
President and Lord Saltoun, not a Scotch peer at-
tended, and we did not see a single Scotch member of
the House of Commons in the company. This we
think is disgraceful, considering the unequivocal ad-
vantages of the charity. The subscription, however,
last night did honour to the liberality of public feeling
in both countries, if not to the higher ranks in Scot-
land, as the collection amounted to 500/. We are as-
sured from the best quarters that the whole charity is
admirably distributed.

JEWS' HOSPITAL.—The supporters of this
establishment celebrated the return of their anniver,
sary meeting by dining together at the London Ta 2
vern, in Bishopsgate-street, yesterday. The meeting
was highly respectable, and the contributions, which
amounted to upwards of 4001., evinced the liberality of
the gentlemen who were assembled on the occasion.
It had been announced by advertisement that his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex would take the chair,
but it was stated to the meeting that, in consequence
of continued indisposition, he was prevented from at-
tending. John H. Helford, Esq., was therefore called
to the chair. The company assembled amounted to
about 100 persons, among whom were the most re-
spectable and opulent of the Hebrew persuasion. The
objects of the charity in the course of the evening
were introduced to the comppny. The subscriptions
amounted to 457/., the receipt of which was announced
by the treasurer, and received by the company with
the most enthusiastic applause.
