LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1851.

prisoner laughed and put them all at defiance ; 2s. lid. ;
were found in his possession at the station house.

The prisoner now laughed, and refused to give any
account of himself.
In answer to a question from the Bench, he said he
had no property of any kind.
He was convicted in the full penalty of 405., or, in
default of payment, one month's imprisonment in the
House of Correction.

Susan Jones, an innocent-looking, decently-dressed
little girl, twelve years of age, was re-examined,
charged with stealing seven yards of printed cotton
from a linendrapers', 29, High-street, Islington.
The prisoner entered the shop between one and two
o'clock in the day, and, with all the affectation of art-
lessness, asked for a little ribbon and a thimble,
which were served to her, and she paid for them.
Whilst the shopman was engaged she managed to
conceal the cotton in her apron. She left the shop,
when the shopwan followed her and asked her what
she had in her apron ? She refused to let him see.
He brought her back to the shop, found the property
in her po,session, and gave her into the custody of
429 N division. On searching her a green purse,
containing l Os., some beads, and two thimbles, were
found.

The officers identified the prisoner as a notorious
young thief, who had been four times convicted of
similar robberies. She was connected with a gang
who went about plundering shopkeepers. There was
no doubt but she had picked the pocket of some lady
of the purse and 10e.
The prisoner screwed up her face and made a great
noise, pretending to cry, but she could not squeeze
out a tear. She said the purse belonged to her
"missis," and the cotton got into her apron by " mis-
take."—(A laugh.)
Mr. COMBE asked if she bad a father and mother ?
Prisoner (bellowing loudly)—Yes, but they are not
here (shrugging up her shoulders and grinning).
Oh, dear ; oh, dear, I am innocent.

•
The officer said she acted with the greatest hardi-
hood before entering the presence of the magistrate,
but the moment her turn came to be placed at the
bar, she then commenced her sham sorrow, and
making a noise to excite the sympathy of the Court.
Mr. Comns said he should commit the prisoner for
trial for stealing the cotton, but remand her for the
police to make inquiries about her, and trace the
owner, if possible, of the green purse and 10s., &c.

LAMBETH.
THE MAGISTRATES' OPINION OF REWARDS tO
FIREMEN.-0a Thursday a number of ratepayers of
the parish of Lambeth attended before Mr. Norton, in
compliance with summonses issued against them at
the instance of the churchwardens, to show cause why
they refused to pay the moneys reimbursed by them
(the churchwardens) to the fire brigademen and
others for alleged fires in their chimneys.
In very few of the cases brought forward was it
found necessary to use the engines, and the defend-
ants considered it a great hardship to be compelled to
pay heavy rewards to the servants to the fire-offices,
that were at present deriving such enormous profits
from the public in the shape of insurances, and there-
fore well able to pay their servants for the preserva-
tion of their property, for such, in fact, it was.
One of the defendants, Mr. Fisk, a furniture-dealer,
said he resisted the claim on the ground that it was
a scandalous attempt at gross imposition. A demand
of 1/. 12i. 6d., he said, had been made on him for an
alleged fire, when there was not the slightest cause
for taking the engines to his house ; and, to prove the
absurdity of the charge, he begged to inform his
Worship that his residence was not a minute's walk
from the engine-house in the Waterloo-road, and that
both engines—claiming first and second rewards--
were brought from the same station.
Mr. NORTON remarked that this being the case he
most assuredly should not allow the reward for the
second engine ; but, as the law at present stood, he
was compelled to make an order on the defendant for
1/. 2s. 6d., thereby taking off the reward for the
second engine. The worthy magistrate added that
it was high time the Aet of Parliament giving these
rewards was repealed, as the insurance offices, as had
been stated, derived enormous revenues from the pub-
lie, and were abundantly able to pay their servants
for the preservation of their property ; and he (Mr.
Norton) wondered very much that efforts bad not
been made by the different metropolitan parishes to
put an end to a heavy and useless tax by getting the
present laws repealed.

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIAN CHINESE. -..The -- e over-
land Singapore Free Press has the following :-..... The chief
event of a local nature which we have to notice this month
is the occurrence of a very extensive movement in the inte-
rior of our island against the converts to Christianity among
the Chinese pepper and gambier planters. A simultaneous
attack was made upon the bangsals or plantations of these
persons in all quarters of the island by their heathen compa-
triots, instigated, it is believed, by the secret societies, which
exert such a baneful influence over our Chinese population.
Upwards of 30 bangsals were plundered, and the unfort-
nate owners and their Coolies driven out. The police in the
interior was augmented, and warrants issued against a num-
ber of persons, but a very determined resistance was offered,
and the police were obliged several times to fire in self de-
fence, by which it is believed ten or a dozen of the Chinese
were killed. A party of military was sent out to strengthen
the police, but it was afterwards deemed advisable by the au-
thorities to suspend the further execution of the warrants, and
to recall part of the military. The Chinese are indisposed to
submit, saving they wish to be alliwed to fight out their

REPRESENTATION OF BOSTON.

BOSTON, FRIDIY, APRIL 18.—Two candidates for
the representation of this borough, rendered vacant
by the death of the Hon. Captain Dudley Pelham,
are now fairly in the field, and the contest will be be-
tween a Protectionist on the one hand and a Liberal
on the other. Mr. Alderman D. W. Wire is the can-
didate on the Liberal side, and Mr. Freshfield, late
solicitor to the Bank of England, bas arrived in the
town, and is soliciting the suffrages of the Protec-
tionist section of the constituency.
Last evening both candidates held meetings of
their friends, and are active in canvassing the electors.
The friends of Mr. Wire assembled at the Town
Hall, Alderman Noble presiding.
Mr. Councillor STEVENS said he had great pleasure
in introducing Mr. Wire to the meeting—not that an
introduction was necessary, for that gentleman had
on previous occasions fought the battle of the Liberal
party in the borough. Those battles had not hitherto
been successful, but there seemed to be little doubt
that on the pre,ent occasion Mr. Wire would be most
triumphantly elected.—(Cheers.) Since that gentle.
man last appeared on their hustings he had received a
high honour from his cello w-citizens, who had
elected him an alderman and magistrate of the first
city in the world. He felt convinced that the electors
of Boston would also appreciate the value of Mr.
Wire's services. He concluded by proposing a reso-
lution which affirmed that Alderman Wire was a fit
and proper person to represent the borough of Boston
in Parliament.

Mr. C. F. BARBER, in seconding the resolution,
remarked that in all the pursuits in wEish he had
been engaged, Alderman Wire bad eshown bimaelf an
exemplary man of business. Such a man they
wanted as their representative.
Alderman WIRE then came forward [and was re-
ceived with repeated rounds of applause. He said he
deeply regretted the circumstances under which he
appeared before the electors on that occasion. He
had, not very many months ago, contested the repre-
sentation of the borough with the lion. Captain Pel-
ham, now deceased, and he would much rather have
met that lamented gentleman to have once more con-
tested the election with him than be present on that
occasion as a candidate for the suffrages of the elec-
tors. Most of the gentlemen who appeared before
him that day knew perfectly well the political prin-
ciples to which be was attached, for he had boldly
and unreservedly declared them when he asked the
electors for their support at the general election in
1847, and again last year, when the contest was be-
tween himself and Captain Pelham. He was deeply
anxious to extend the franchise to those amongst the
community who deserved it, but who had been
so long deprived of it. The people would
would never be properly represented in the House
of Commons until that right was conceded to them.
Along with that extension of the franchise he thought
it highly necessary that the voter should have the
protection of the ballot.—(Hear, hear.) In many
districts voters were intimidated and unduly influ-
enced, which would not be the case if the practice of
voting by ballot were encouraged. The gentleman
who has just announced himself as a candidate (Mr.
Freshfield) had declared himself favourable to a re-
turn to the principles of protection. He (Alderman
Wire) would never consent to the imposition of a tax
on the poor man's loaf, nor would he sanction any
scheme which would cause one part of the community
to be taxed for the benefit and aggrandizement of
another.—(Loud cheers.) While he thought that a
system of protection was injurious to the great body
of the people, he did not believe it was of any real
benefit to the farmer, or ever would be, even if he
could obtain it, which be held to be utterly impossible.
That system had never worked well, and it was in
the highest degree absurd to agitate for the destruc-
tion of that system of commercial policy which the
Legislature sanctioned in 1846, in obedience to the
popular will. He did sot for a moment deny that the
agricultural interest had of late been in a state of very
great depression. It was well known that in the body •
physical no member could suffer without the whole
body being affected by it. So it was in the body politic
—no interest could suffer without injuriously affecting
the other great interests of the community. He would
therefore relieve the farmer, not by returning to the
exploded theory of protection, but by equalising the
burdens on land, and removing every unjust and un-
necessary inspost.—(Loud cheers, and some interrup-
tion.) The farmer would be obliged to do what the
manufacturer had already done, with so much advan-
lege to himself—he must improve his machinery,
apply the aids of science, and make his land more
productive.—(A voice, " How can he do that ? he is
ruined already.") If the farmer adopted that course,
he would find in a short time, when the effects of the
present transition had passed away, that he would be-
come more prosperous, more happy, than he had ever
been under what was falsely called "protection to
' agriculture."—(Loud cheers.) Under that baneful
system the cultivators of the soil had never prospered,
although efforts were now made to induce them to
believe that the free-trade system bad been the cause
of all their trouble and distress. They bad always,
at periods varying from seven to ten years, been
greatly distressed, and had been continually going to
ruin; but they had not been ruined yet, nor would
they be if they took the proper steps to avert such a
catastrophe. He was in favour of an extended system
of education for the people, for the more economical
administration of law, and the abolition of all sine-
cures and unearned pensions. He was also an advo-
cate for direct taxation, in preference to the unjust
and injudicious system which at present prevailed.
Alderman WIRE answered several questions put to
him by various persons in a manner satisfactory to the
meeting, and the resolution declaring him to he a tit
and proper person to represent the borough in Per-
liament was put by the Chairman and unanimously
adopted.
Mr. FRESHFIELD'S friends met him last evening at
the Peacock Hotel, when he declared pretty fully his
political views. He commenced by expressing the
deep regret he felt at the somewhat sudden death of
their late representative. He (Mr. Freshfield) came
before the constituency of Boston as a staunch and
unflinching advocate of British interests. The time
had gone by when an English representative could,
consistently with his duty to his fellow-countrymen,
attach himself to any party for mere party purposes.
—(Hear, hear.) Tnere were at that moment national
objects to be attended to, which a simple desire for
the national welfare could alone secure. It would be
in the recollection of the electors that nearly two years
ago he presented himself for the honour of represent-
ing their borough in the Commons House of Parlia-
ment. Ile was at that time encouraged, although
late in the field, by numerous promises of
kind support. On that occasion he appealed to the
electors as a Protectionist. He would not stop to
translate a phrase so widely understood, but would at
once declare that the opinions he then entertained
were the fruit of long experience and mature delibe-
ration.—(Loud cheers.) Those opinions were adopted
by him for no party purposes, and a further lapse of
time, in which a great shock had been given to °lse of
the great interests of the country, bad strengthened
the convictions he then entertained. He believed that
to enable the British farmer to earn his bread was
both practicable and just.—(Loud cheers.) Neither
humanity, nor sound policy, nor common sense de-
manded that we should ruin any one class in the
country for the supposed benefit of the rest.—(Hear,
hear.) He was firmly impressed with the belief that
the prosperity of the great agricultural body in this
country—and with such the interests of the consti
tuency of Boston were immediately connected—was
essential to the integrity and well-being of all
classes of the people.—(Hear, hear.) As a Protes-
tant, and a member of the Church of England, he
held himself bound not only to tolerate but to re-
spect the religious scruples of all classes of his
fellow-subjects. At the same time, since neither civil
nor religious liberty could exist for an hour with the
violation of established law, he must protest against
the unwarrantable presumption of a foreign priest,
who set the law of the country at defiance in order
to deprive its people ultimately of their spiritual and
social independence.—(Loud cheers.) In reference
to financial matters, Mr. Freshfield .said that, heavily
taxed as this country
was, he regarded financial
economy and frugality as essential to the continuance
of our national prosperity and safety. He would,
therefore, advocate every possible reduction of public
expenditure consistent with national security. To
that extent he would unhesitatingly say that be was
a thorough financial reformer.
After a long catechetical examination, which Mr.
Freshfield underwent with great good humour, the
meeting resolved that he was a proper person to re-
present :them, and accordingly promised him their
earnest support.
Mr. J. Rawson, the mayor of Boston, received the
writ for a new election at a late hour last evening,
and the election will take place on an early day in
the ensuing week.

TRADE AT ANCONA.—Galignani gives the follow-
ing account of the trade at this port : —'• In 1850 the met,
csntile vessels which cast anchor in the port of Ancona
amounted to 2,825, firming an aggregate of 11 :,262 tons
burden. The number of vessels that left the port was 2,686,
comprising 109,100 tons burden. The imports amounted to
13,376,9390. and the exports of native produce to 4,960,085 f.
Foreign produce re-exported amounted to 4,6'7,356E he
nations which took a share in this commercial movement
were as follows :—England imported 6,755,880 k worth of
goods; Austria, 5,874,454 f. ; Greece, 666,960 f. ; Sicily,
501,624 f.; Sardinia, 253,572 f.; and Belgium, 72,000 f. The
exports were distributed as follows :—England, 2,413,756 f. ;
Austria, 5,488,0461. ; Sicily, 480,000 E; Greece, 182,736 f. ;
and Sardinia, 120,000 f."

TAR AND FEATHERS.—Tbe use of tar and feathers
in the punishment of crime is one of great antiquity.
Richard I , in his voyage to the Holy Land, ordained thus :--
" If any one be convicted of theft, let his head be shaved,
like Champion's, let melted pitch be poured upon it, and
feathers shaken over it, that be may be known, and let
him be put ashore at the first land to which the ship ap-
proaches."

DENMARK AND ENGLAND.

(Continued from The Son of Monday.)
COPENHAGEN, APRIL s.—The fatigues of our
journey, lightened as they had been by the kindness
of our conductor, by the general good humour of the
party, and by the civility of the people, firhade,
nevertheless, any very energetic exertion on Wednes-
day, the day of our arrival; so, after we had delivered
our dispatches at the Foreign Minister's residence,
we spent the day in a sort of philosophical but very
idle contemplation of the city, principally from the
windows of our hotel. Copenhagen does not (now)
justify Murray's description of it, for a more stately
city can scarcely be imagined. The streets wide and
long, filled with spacious and lofty houses of un-
spotted whiteness, and built with great regularity, re-
mind one somewhat of B tth, but that the ground is
level ; many of them all but equal, in breadth, to the
Irishman's test of street architecture—Sackville-
street, Dublin. But large squares break up their
continuous lines, and the eye rests on fine statues,
noble palaces, and splendid buildings devoted to the
art•, to amusement, to justice, or to the purposes of
religion in every quarter of the city. Copenhagen-is
hut a creation of the last century, and, after a little
time spent there, a large portion of it gives the idea
that it was built, all of a sudden, by some Danish
Grissell and Peto, according to contract. Sur-
rounded by a deep foss, by ramparts and intrench-
ments, defended by formidable forts and batteries,
filled with the halls of kings, with churches, mu-
seums, and castles, it combines the appearance of a
new cut made by the Royal Commissioners through
some old London rookery with the air of an old
feudal town. The moat prohibits any considerable
extension. Seen under a bright cold sky, the
blanched fronts of the houses, the white walls of the
public edifices, the regularity of the streets, conveyed
an impression of cleanliness which could only be de-
stroyed when one happened to look down at his feet,
or ceased to keep guard over his nose. The paving
is of the style which may be called Titanic, and was
never intended for any foot garb less defensive than
a sabot or a caliga. The drainage is superficial,
that is, all the liquid refuse of the city runs, or
rather walks very leisurely, along grooves in
the pavement aforesaid, which are covered over
by board; in various stages of decomposition. In
summer the city must be worse than Berlin (which,
by the bye, it very much resembles in many re-
spects). In spring time, after rain, my °lvo experi-
ence tells me it suggests forcible reminiscences of
the antique o lours of Fleet-ditch. One thing which
soon strikes the stranger is the apparent want of
shops. Bat they are to be found by those who want
them. Nearly every trader carries on his business
very modestly in his front parlour, and makes a mo-
derate display of his stock in the ordinary window,
so that the illusory and enchanting department o,
trade is quite gone. A Danish gentleman can walk
out with his wife without the least fear that he will
fall a victim to " a stupendous sacrifice," or be im-
molated on the altar of "au imperative necessity to
clear out in a week."

Moving through these streets is a quiet, soberly-
attired population. Bigger than most foreigners and
with great roundness of muscle and eize of bone, your
Dane wants the dapper air of the Frenchman or the
solemnity of the Spaniard, while he is not so bearded
or so dirty as the German. But then he smokes
prodigiously, dresses moderately in the English
style, is addicted to jewellery in excess, and has a
habit of plodding along straight in the middle of the
road with his head down, which must be a matter of
considerable annoyance to the native cabman. He
is, however, amazingly polite. He not only takes
off his hat to every one he knows, but gives any
lady acquaintance the trouble of recognizing him
by bowing to her before she has made up her
mind whether the individual is known or not.
Another of his peculiarities is, that he always has a
dog. I should say more correctly there is always a
dog following him, for I have seen an animal which
seemed to be bound by the closest ties to a particular
gentleman placidly leave him at the corner of a
street, and set off on an independent walk by itself.
These dogs are, in fact, a feature of the place by
themselves. In number they can only be excelled by
the canine scavengers of Cairo or Constantinople, and
in mongreliness and ugliness by no place in the world
—not even by Tuam before the potato rot. They get
up little extemporary hunts through the squares, the
trail being generally the remnant of an old rat, car-
ried away by the foremost, and dash between your
legs from unexpected apertures in walls and houses,
so as to cause very unpleasant consequences to the
nervous or feeble sojourner. On seeking for an ex-
planation of their great abundance, I was informed
that they were kept to kill rats. But this is a mere
delusion. These dogs are far too wise to lose their
health by keeping late hours in pursuit of vermin. No,
they retire as soon as darkness sets in, and with dark ness
out come thii rats in the most perfect security. Such
rats! they are as big as kittens, and their squeaking
under the wooden planks of the gutters as you walk
home is perfectly amazing. The celebrated dog
Billy would have died in a week of violent exercise
in any one street in Copenhagen, giving him his
usual allowance of murder. I must say that in the
matters of paving, dogs, rats, sewers, water, arid
lights, Copenhagen is rather behind the rest of tbe
world. As to the lights, they are sparsely placed,
and as yet gas is not used. With a laudable eco-
nomy the oil wicks are extinguished when the moo❑
shines, and the result is, that sometimes an envious
cloud leaves the whole city in Cimmerian darkness
for the rest of tbe night, in consequence of five
minutes' moonshine in the early part, as, once put
out, they are not again relumed. In the crowd you
meet many pale sorrow-stricken women in mourn-
ing, and now and then a poor soldier limps before
you, with recent bandages on his stump,
or hobbles along limpingly, with perhaps a
eabre cut across the face, or an empty coat sleeve
dangling from his shoulder; and then you remember
sll the horrors the late war must have canted Den-
mark, when out of her small population 90 000 men
were under arms in the field. It can scarcely atone
for this sight to meet dashing Hussars, with their red
coats and sheepskin calpaeks, heavy Dragoons in
light-blue and dark green, Jagers in smart frocks of
olive-green, decorated with stars and ribands, and
swaggering along in all the pride of having smelt
powder and done their duty. They are num-roue
enough, indeed every third man is a soldier, but one
of these sad widows or orphans is an antidote to the
glories of these fine heroes scarcely less powerful than
that of the spectecle of their mutilated and mangled
comrades. This war has roused the national spirit of
Denmark; it has caused her to make a powerful
effort to shake off all connexion with Germany, or
iependence on her Germanic subjects, but it has cost
her 000,000/. of money, and it has left many a
home desolate for ever.

rally known to us. In D,nmerk he 117,s a high re-
puta7loo as a financit-r. The Ceug,t e-apressed a g-eat
interest in the route—inquired into the state of the
roads, and, finally, gave us en assurance, which from
a Minister of Finance was very valuable, that • t'n,
roads through Jutland should be improved. As we
retired we could not but feel how much happier we
were than a deputation of our fellow.citizus would
have been wha had gone up to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer for a little promise of disbursement or re-
pealing a tax. The simplicity, unostentatious frank-
ness, and openness of so high an officer had a smack
of Republicanism about it which was very striking
from some obvious contrasts. Then we visited a
glorious old palace, the Castle of Rosenborg, which
seems to have been built for the purpose of holding
all the curiosities that could he stowed away in its
splendid apartments. Hampton Court, Windsor—l
had almost said Versailles—can scarcely stand com-
parison with this Palace. It is full of wonders
of wealth, and of historic interest, and, with the ex-
ception of portraits and pictures, offers more objects
of decided worth to the notice of the visitor than
any public national entrepot of sights with which I
am acquainted. You can wield the swords of Charles
XII. of Sweden and of Gustavus Adolphus, see the
first set of china ever brought to Europe, quaff
imaginary healths out of the most delicate and beauti-
ful Venetian glass, or out of the gian:-, horn of Olden-
burgh, in which Christian the I. pledged the health of
Charles the Blld in 1447, and whi&l contains on its
sidn's a whole history of the life and manners of the
times, and speculate on the splendours, the follies, end
the extravagant vices of the ancient Kings of Denmark,
who have left behind them so many proofs of their
selfishness, profusion, and licentiousness. Among
these vetusta monumenta are the horse-trappings pre-
sented by Ceristian IV. to his son in 1644, which
cost 1,000,0001. The :node in which the col-
lection is arranged deserves the highest praise.
Each article is placed under the era to which it be
longed, and the result is, that we can form a good
idea of the respective states of the arts, and of their
advance, during each reign. The collection of coins
can scarcely be excelled. There are 1,150 Grecian
and 21,000 Roman coins, and (shame to us!) there
.is a complete and extensive series of the national
coinage, from the earliest periods. In the English
department I was pleased to see specimeiss of those
curious English coins, the late "ifirin," and the
" Victoria crown piece." We were nearly foot-
foundered before we emerged Irons the palace, and
the time which it required to see this collection left
nothing of the day for other purposes. The Theatre
Royal, and a tragedy of CEolenscblager, in a tongue
unknown to us, but in substance rendered intelligible
by the ability of the actors, were all we could ma-
nage. As a matter on which we might take a hint,
I may mention that in the Danish theatres the light
during the performance is almost confined to the
stage, the audience being left in comparative dark-
ness. This must be rather severe on the actors, but
it secures the attention of the audience. If they
want to see anything they must look to the foot-
lights, and the light when it comes between the acts
is' all the more grateful —Times.

LOWESTOFT AND DENMARK CATTLE
TRADE.

LOWESTOFT, FRIDAY.— Yesterday afternoon, at
half-past three o'clock, the Prince, mail steamer, Cap-
tain Hart, entered this harbour on her third return
voyage from Hjerting, on the Jutland coast, which
she left the previous day, shortly before one o'clock, thus
again making a splendid run within seven and twenty
hours. The Prince has now brought 136 cattle, 83
pigs, and 8 horses, all in excellent condition, makinv
a total importation within the present month of 217
cattle, 228 pigs, and 16 horses, together with a con-.
siderable quantity of beef and pork in barrels, besides
cured meat. The Prince likewise brought dispatches
and letters from Copenhagen, which were forwarded
by the evening train, and would have been delivered
in London this morning. Already the establish-
ment of this route has caused the greatest ac-
tivity to prevail all through the cattle-bre,ding
districts of Holstein, Schleswig, Jutland, Funer,
Zealand, and even as far as the Swedish main
land. From the latter country numbers of the
inhabitants are preparing to reach the Exhibition
along the track described in The Sun of Monday,
whence it appears that the distance between the
Danish and the British capitals, iucludiog all stop.
pages, and the time nece-sary to ship the cattle ht
Hjerting, may readily be traversed in little over 70
hours, 61-i hours being the stipulated period in the
company's time bills for conveying the mail bags from
one metropolis to the other. Additional steamers will
be placed on the station early next month, and every
exertion will be made to accommodate the traffic
which is being developed much more promptly and
extensively than could have been anticipmed from the
existing trade of an andogaus naPtv e carrying on bu-
t ween Hamburgh and London. The alacrity with
which the British Post offi e has availed itself of the
new route for the transmission of letters to the North
of Europe is most gratifying and commendable, con-
trasting so advantay.eously es it does with the old
routine at Sr. Martin's le-Grand in matters of this
sort, where the p irrial adoptio❑ of the most ()bylaw,
improvements was only effected by ince!aant applica-
tion on the part of those concerned, and was then ge-
neralty encumbered with such restrictions that robbed
the concession of half its value.

all articles for this day's market. The wheat trade is dull, 01
demand being confined to the supply of pressing wants, and
though last week's prices are generally insisted on, the nlarket
