THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1835.

right to say that the first of the foregoing quotations
implies that marriage, in its best estate, is an evil—an
assertion consonant, no doubt, to the experience of the
ancient Grecian, or he would not have made it, and to
that of our author, or he would not have repeated it.
The second means that if M. Anichini had a hun-
dred mouths, a hundred tongues (in each mouth we
presume), and an iron voice, he could not describe all
the forms of connubial transgression, nor estimate the
amount of damages proper to be awarded in such cases.
The third, being in the vernacular tongue, speaks
for itself. Certain coming events, we admit, do cat,
their shadows before, and we congratulate M. Ani-
chini on his happy, and we may venture to say, ori-
ginal application of this beautiful line, though we
cannot avoid expressing our surprise that one so well
acquainted with our literature as be is should not have
known that the initial letter of the poet Campbell's
christian name is T, and not J, as he has it—but we
dare say he will be forgiven for the mistake. For our
own part we do not like to see the christian name of a
poet at all.
The reader is next introduced to Ebenezer Elliot, the
author of Corn Law Rhymes, to whom M. Anichini
dedicates " these strictures on the favourite pastime
of the wealthy" (meaning marriage and adultery), the
infamy of which he says he has denounced in " the
humble simplicity of prose"—a position which we must
beg leave to deny, for more sublime prose we have
never read ; but modesty ever accompanies true genius.
Before the author proceeds to his main business, he
gives a few pages—not more than seven—of rather
desultory but very interesting discussion, commencing
with an expostulatory address to Lord Brougham, in
which the learned Lord is accused of some things in
which he is greatly to blame, and others of which we
are bound to say he is perfectly innocent. " The
world complains," says M. Anichini, " that the si-
lence of Henry Brougham in the British House of
Commons is an European calamity." Now this is
about as groundless a complaint as ever we heard.
The world, we think, must be very ignorant if it does
not know that Henry Brougham left the House of
Commons five years ago ; or very unreasonable, if,
knowing this fact, it expects him to speak there. We
are the more surprised that M. Anchini should re-
present the world as making this complaint, because
it is clear that he knows better himself, for we find
him immediately after remonstrating with his Lordship
in the following strain :
" How could you, my Lord, forsake the temple of your
glory, luxuriating in so many exquisite associations, for that
lordly Trophonius's cave faintly illuminated by the eva-
nescent
glittering of coronets and mitres. the stage for the
oratorical gambols of Londonderry, Winchelsea, and Wick-
low ? How could you consent to chain your genius with
the manacles of office, and sit on that moth-eaten wool-
sack, swarming with the vermin of technicalities ? Have
you forgotten the heart-rending lamentations, and the tardy
repentance of one of your predecessors, the immortal
Bacon, who, like you, bartered the sweet independence of
knowledge for the supercilious pride of rank ? And can
your soul, accustomed to bask in the pure atmosphere of
independence, breathe the foul, musty exhalations of the
House of Lords ?"
The exhalations of the House of Lords are foul
and musty enough, God knows, either for soul or
body to breathe ; but the exhalations of the House of
Commons are fully as bad. Lord Brougham has
therefore been no loser in this respect. Neither do
we think he has lost any thing in point of fame ; for
his unrivalled powers were never displayed to more ad-
vantage than they have been since he entered the
House of Lords, while the public cause has gained
immensely by the change. Lord Brougham was, and
would have continued to be, the first man in the
House of Commons, as he must be in any assembly
of which he is a member ; but who else was there to
fight the battles of the people in the House of
Lords? Who but he could have bearded that fierce
and tyrannical aristocracy which is the sworn enemy
of every popular right ? To say nothing of the many
great measures of Reform which he was the means
of carrying when in office, we would beg those who
regret Lord Brougham's elevation to the Peerage to
look at the proceedings in the House 'of Lords during
the last Session, and say whether such a thing was
ever seen before as a single man grappling, night after
night, with a whole faction, and putting them to the rout?
It would, no doubt, have been more agreeable to the
Londonderrys, the Winchilseas, the Wicklows, and
others of their kidney, to have been allowed to " play
their oratorical gambols" unchecked by the presence of
one whom they feared even more than they hated, but
unfortunately for them this could not be.
There is one thing, however, in which we do think
Lord Brougham was to blame. It appears the Wool-
sack was far from being in a sound condition. M.
Anichini tells us it was " swarming with the vermin
of technicalities." What particular kind of vermin
these may be, we do not pretend to know ; but, looking
to their birth and parentage, and, considering under
whose immediate auspices they were hatched and fos-
tered, we have the fullest assurance that they were of
a venomous nature, of ultra Tory sentiments in poli-
tic's, and bearing, for various reasons, no good will to-
wards Lord Brougham. Look, too, at the facility of
tormenting, which these evil-disposed vermin possessed.
They had only to pop up their heads through the
moth-holes in the cover, and victimize the learned
Lord ; and before you could say Jack Robinson; off
they were to their inaccessible retreats. We no longer
wonder at the fidgettiness which Lord Brougham is
said to have sometimes exhibited while presiding in
the House of Lords—the secret is out. Here, then,
Lord Brougham was greatly in fault. He should have
bundled the old concern into the fire, and treated him-
self to a spick and span new Woolsack.
We have remarked that our author's modesty has in-
duced him to under-rate the qualities of his style. Let
our readers judge whether " humble simplicity," or
,owering sublimity, is the true characteristic of the fol-

lowing passage :
" Let the Press point against your great character the
Fieschi-like machine of its enmity ; its glare will only serve
to illuminate your journey on the road to glory, and its de-
tonation herald your entrance into the temple of immor-
tality."
It is, doubtless, extremely pleasant for those who
travel on the road to glory to have it thoroughly illu-
minated, and we have a great longing for immortality ;
but Heaven defend us from such glaring illuminators
and detonating heralds as those of Fieschi.
The whole of M. Amchini's prefatory address is an
exquisite treat—a perfect plum-pudding for the rich-
ness and variety of its contents—and we are truly sorry
we have not room for it in its entire and primitive state ;
but our readers will be able to form some idea of it
when we inform them that it contains, in addition to
Fieschi's machine, a state earria,_,,c—an iron roller—the
character of the British nation—a struggle between
principle and despotism—a few tattered garments of
feudalism—a halter and a sword—the fulcrum of
liberty, and the hallnce sheet of the interests of so-
ciety—the day of general retribution—a dread of ochlo-
cracy, and a wretched night-mare—the mouth of the
Bosphorus, the romantic fields of Spain, and the
wrath of Achilles—the juste milieu system—the dis-
distempered minds of Thiers and Guizot—the King of
the Barricades, a highly spiced cake, the Quasitnodo
of despotism, and the beau-ideal of deformity—the
religious tenets of O'Connell and Sheil, and the dark
conscience of Ferdinand VII.--the hungry hounds of
, Rome, Don Miguel, Don Carlos, the Duke of Mo-
, Jena, and David Salomons.

LONDON MARKETS-THIS DAY.

(From the New London Pxice Current.)
SUGAR.-There has not been so much briskness in the Sugar
market this week ; the prices, however, remain very firm ; the
market VS very steady, and 60s. to 61s. has been paid for
Jamaicas of good dry brown quality. The demand for Sugars
is general and extensive this afternoon ; the estimated pur-
chases for the week are 3,000 hhds. and trs. We cannot
quote the Market higher, but it is difficult to purchase at former
rates, and the public sale this afternoon went off higher than
the purchases by private contracs ; it consisted of 192 hhds.
25 trs. 14 brls. St. Lucia Sngar sold very firmly at the ex-
treme prices previously obtained, brown 605., yellows from 61s.
a 645. 6d. The highest price of West India Muscovades may
be quoted at 665., the lowest 605., the latter being rather
higher.
In the Refined market considerable purchases have been
made in crushed Sugar, the price reported about 40s. 6d. ; a
a fern purchases are reported in large Lumps at 745., but ge-
nerally the price now asked by the Refiners is 755. There is
no alteration in Refin goods this afternoon.
MAURITIUS.- A ed
public sale of 8,769 bags Mauritius was
brought forward on Tuesday, which excited considerable in-
terest, the Sugars generally being of good quality ; the sale
went off with great briskness at an advance of 6d. to ls. per
cwt., fine brown to fine fine yellow 60s. to 665. 6d. ; the whole
averaging about 625. 9d.
EAST INDIA.-There have been no public sales of East
India Sugar, and few purchases are reported by private contract.
FOREIGN.-There are no transactions worthy of notice in
Foreign Sugar : the prices are nominal.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.-By public sale about 200 casks
good new Antigua Molasses sold 295. to 295. 6d. ; a parcel
of very good Demerara has also been disposed of at 28s.
A parcel of Antigua in second hands sold this afternoon at
295. 6d.
COFFEE.-There is but little alteration in British Planta-
tion Coffee : the public sale on Tuesday, 30 casks Berbice,
chiefly mid. quality went off at former prices, 102 s. 6d.
to 103 s. ; yesterday 132 casks 56' barrels 676 bags ware
brought forward, the great proportion Jamaica descrip-
tions were taken in at high prices. The public sales
of East India have contained 72 bales of Mocha, and
1,327 bags Ceylon : the former was of inferior quality, and
sold at 675. 6d. ; the latter was partly bought in;
dark dingy ord. (an indirect parcel) at 605., greenish even
ditto bought in at 625. ; palish fair good ord. sold from 625. 6d.
to 635. Of Foreign 1,300 bags of Brazil were announced for
public sale, but the greater part were either withdrawn or ta-
ken in ; a small proportion of palish mixed good ord. sold
from 50s. 6d. to 515., and low ord. with blacks at 48s. 6d.
By private contract considerable parcels of Brazil are re-
ported sold at 51s. for good ord. coloury, which may be stated
at a further reduction of 2s. per cwt. on the previous nominal
prices.
The British Plantation Coffee by public sale this afternoon,
159 trs. 43 brls., went off very heavily, and the greater pro-
portion taken in; the small quantity sold went off at- keduced
prices ; mid. Berbice, 106 s.
COCOA.-The transactions in Cocoa are 54 bags fair Trini-
dad at public sale, which went off with aninpation at 575. 6d.
to 58s. 6d. By private contract 550 bags Brazil are reported
to be sold at 365. and 375., the greater proportion at the latter
price. The stock here is stated at 1,800 bags. a considerable
portion of which goes to government, leaving about 1,200 bags
upon this market.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Rums in this market
are held with greater firmness ; Jamaicas, 34 over, have been
sold at 3s. sd.' and it now would be very difficult to purchase
Leewards proofs under 2s. 2d., but the sales are not extensive.
Brandy has advanced in France, but it has had no effect on this
market. Geneva maintains the late rise.
The sales of Rum this eveeing are, Demerara, 36 over,
3s. 3d. in puns, 34 over in hhds. Bs. 4d., 29 per cent. 35. Id. ;
Jamaica, 35 over, 3s. 5d., 36 over, 3s. 6d.

being so very low, and the speculation in Tallow by the
Russians continued till 1830, has had a considerable effect
upon the market, and the trade appear more inclined to go
into stock at the present prices.
By public sale this afternoon 600 casks fine Odessa Yellow
Candle Tallow 41s. 9d., about one-third sold.
SPIcEs.-Pepper remains very heavy ; about 400 bags were
brought forward by auction and bought in. Pimento is very
flat; at public sales yesterday 399 bags, a part sold rather
easier, even good ord. sold 44d. to 41d. The late sales of
Cassia Lignea have contained about 1,100 chests; nearly the
whole has been sold ; dingy inferior, 575. ; better colour, but
coarse, 58s. 6d. ; fair even quality (of which the sales mostly
consisted), 60s. to 61s. 6d.
By public sale this afternoon 249 bags Pimento mostly sold
41d. a 4d., rather lower.
SILK.-There is no alteration to notice in Silk, the Market
.s quiet and the prices are very firm.

A vacancy has occurred in the number of aides-de-
camp to his Majesty, by the death of the regretted Captain
Sir Henry Duncan, K.C.H., Captain Earl Cadogan, First
Extra Aide-de-Camp, will, it is expected, be appointed in
the room of Sir Henry.
LINCOLN SHAKSPERIAN DINNER.—The third
celebration of this annual festival took place on Tuesday
last, at the City Arms, Hotel.
THE LORD LIEUTENANT'S TOUR.—His Excel-
lency and his amiable Countess have returned to Dublin in
health, and, as they may well be, in spirits--pleased with
the country—delighted with the honest and enthusiastic
afection, for that is the word, with which they have been
received—and gratified that the character of discourtesy,
baseness, and disloyalty, which the Orange organs have en-
deavoured to fasten on the Conservative Nobility and gentry
of the North, has been demonstrated by their Excellencies'
reception to be a scandalous libel on the honour and hospi-
tality of Irish gentlemen. We shall only add, in conclusion,
