SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TUE EVENING PAPERS OY THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—We presume our readers have not for-
gotten Lord Lyndhurst's triumph over Lord Campbell
in the House of Lords, on the occasion of the latter
Nobleman's proposing a measure for shortening con-
veyances of land. On Lord Campbell's exhibiting a
form of conveyance on the palm of his hand, to show
what he could do under his Act, Lord Lyndhurst im-
mediately thrust forward another specimen, to show
what he could do without any Act at all ! To be sure,
by Lord Lyndhurst's plan the purchaser was to be eon-
tent to take his land without the usual accompani-
ments of light and right of way, and such little conveni-
ences which are—mistakenly, of course, but still com-
monly—supposed to help somewhat towards the com-
fortable enjoyment of the property ; while by Lord
Campbell's draft, all these, with no greater
length, were carefully, and even strictly,
preserved. And if we remember rightly, there
was one other difference • so trifling as, perhaps,
to be scarcely worth recalling; namely, that under
Lord Campbell's plan, if the purchaser did chance to
find himself in a hobble, he was not under the neces-
sity of lodging the property in Chancery, with the
hope that in about half a dozen years' time it might,
perhaps, be restored to him. Under Lord Camp-
bell's plan this was not necessary. The purchaser
was to have a complete chain of covenants
for title secured to him by Act of Parliament ;
and if any of them were infringed, he had a
cheap and speedy remedy by the old common law
of the realm. But Lord Lyndhurst interposed ; and
the House of Peers threw out Lord Campbell's mea-
sure. The public had been taught latterly to expect
something in the way of cheap ana concise convey-
ancing; and we grumbled a little at being disap-
pointed, without any apparent cause. But still the
thing seemed inevitable ; and we resigned our-
selves to it, with the best good temper we could
summon up at so short a notice. But just as
we had fairly given up all hopes of seeing
our title-deeds reduced to a reasonable length, such as
we might con over of an evening for an hour's
amusement, Lord Lyndhurst hurls an Act at us,
without note or comment; and tells us we may go and
simplify our conveyances and make the best of it !
The boon was unexpected; and, as we were half
asleep when it came, we were almost inclined to grutn-
ble at its arrival. But still, there it was. So we deter-
mined to do as we were bid, and make the most of it.
It is not exactly what Lord Campbell proposed. Those
long " general words," and the long covenants for
title, are just as necessary as ever. But we are
bound in common honesty to admit that it confers
benefits which we really believe Lord Campbell did
not think of. In the first place—we love to begin
at the beginning. Most of our readers, we hope,
are the owners of title-deeds; and most of them,
we dare say, have had occasion, at one
time or other, to look at their contents.
They most probably observed the waving boundary-
line, which the professors of our jurisprudence—
keenly alive, no doubt, to the deliciw of Hogarth's
line of beauty, which it so closely resembles ; and
ever solicitous, it must be admitted, to blend the utile
cum dulci—have placed at the head of most of our
parchments. Perhaps they wondered what it was
for. Perhaps they did not think at all about it.
At all events, they have Lord Lyndhurst's free per-
mission to snip it away, at once and for ever. We
now proceed to unfold higher mysteries • which none
but the initiated, we fear, will be Ale fully to
understand. Such of our readers, however, as have
attained to years of discretion may remember that,
in what Cleopatra calls their " salad days," they
were sorely puzzled to know why two deeds should
be necessary to convey one property. They were,
perhaps, told that, owing to certain technical reasons,
which they could not understand at all, the
purchaser was obliged to take a lease of
the land for one year before he could ac-
quire it out and out. He was further informed,
probably, that the method was invented by a great
lawyer, and not in other respects unknown to fame—
by no less a man, to wit, than Sir Orlando Bridge-
man. And, what is more probable than all the rest
is, that when he was told all this, he knew nearly
as much about the matter as he did before. Three
years ago, however, a learned conveyancer, anxious
to simplify the transfer of property to common under
standing—he could have no other possible motive for
what he did—drew an Act, and after some little
trouble passed it through both Houses of Parliament,
to make one deed sufficient for all time to come for
one property. To conciliate the " Stamps and Taxes,"
he enacted that the one deed should pay duty for
two; and, to gratify a very pardonable vanity, con-
sidering the consideration he had evinced for the
wishes and feelings of the public, he enacted that a
clause should be inserted in future conveyances, stat-
ing that they were made in pursuance of Stewart's Act!
This clause, gentle reader, has Lord Lyndhurst—
c.'ntriving, we fear, and unlawfully, wickedly, and
malieit;:3slY intending to injure and prejudice the skid
J. S., and i",;" deprive him of his good name, fame,
credit, and reputtition— enacted shall be used no more.
We come to the end. If any of our readers ever
happened to read through to the end of one of their
deeds, they noticed a clause of tv;7) lines and a half
(neither more nor less), providing that the trustees
should have power to give valid discharges for such
moneys as might come to their hands. This clause will
henceforth have to be expunged. Of course, we can
have no manner of doubt that Lord Lyndhurst's Act
will do just as good service as that clause; but we
must own we are surprised that the three estates of
the realm—who, to be sure, make Acts of Parliament
now-a-days, like Mr. Wakley's poetry, by the mile—
should have given their solemn sanction to an Act
which, by way of simplifying the transfer of pro-
perty, cuts off a crooked line from the top of a deed,
three more straight lines out of the middle, and two
and a half at the end !

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND.—We learn
from a quarter on which we place reliance—without,
however, undertaking to vouch for the fact—that the
long-looked-for visit of her Majesty to Ireland will cer-
tainly take place during the present autumn. Our inform-
ant states that the first week in October is actually named
for this gratifying excursion. We are also assured that,
in the event of the judgment against O'Connell and the
other State prisoners being affirmed by the House of
Lords, an act of Royal grace in their favour is contem-
plated, and that the remaining term of their imprison-
ment will be remitted, Such an act would be as ap-
propriate to the occasion as it would be conciliatory in
its influence upon the Irish people, and would cer-
tainly conduce to the public tranquillity. We under-
stand that, should the weather prove favourable, her
Majesty is desirous of taking a short aquatic excursion
in the early part of September. The arrival of the
King of the French is expected about the 17th, and will
extend to a week or ten days ; during which every
means of welcoming and entertaining his Majesty, on
a scale suited to his dignity, and the magnificence and
state of our beloved Sovereign, will be employed. On
the departure of the French King, the preparations for
the royal visit to Ireland will commence. The royal
yacht has been ordered to be in immediate readiness.
E vening Paper.
We understand that the Judges are expected to
assemble on Monday to consider their opinions in the
case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others. The judg-
ment, as has already been announced, will be delivered on
the Monday following, September 2.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 23.)

SUGAR.—The market has presented a firmer appear-
ance for all descriptions of Sugar subject to the 24s duty
and 5 per cent. this week. To-day there was no public
sale of Colonial Sugar of any sort. For Westlndia pre-
vious rates were sustained, and a fair demand existed ;
bright yellow sorts are still the most in request. Th.
total purchases for the week are 1,750 hhds and trcs, the
market closing with a firm appearance.
REFINED.—There has been a much better demand for
refined goods for home consumption this week, the re
finers are not so eager to sell, and large parcels have been
disposed of, but at no improvement in prices. Brown
Lumps have been selling at 72s Gd to 735, Standard
Lumps 73s 6d to 745, Tittlers 73s to 80s, Ham-
burgh Loaves 73s 6d to 81s, double ditto 82s
to 925, and wet Lumps 70s to 73s per cwt.
To-day several parcels of refined goods were taken by
the home trade; brown Lumps at 73s to 73s Gd, and
standard 74s to 74s 6d per cwt. For crushed Sugar
made under bond there continues to be a good demand,
and it is difficult to purchase first sort under 27s 6d per
cwt. Of Loaves large parcels have been disposed of at
rather higher rates.
FORElGN.—Previous rates have been fully supported
for yellow Havannah Sugar, the demand has been good,
and the private purchases are 1,300 chests good quality
for refining under bond here at 21s, and 600 chests for
exportation at 19s to 22s for middling to fine.
Brown Brazil is much wanted, and prices remain firm ;
the private transactions are 200 chests Bahia at 18s 3d
to 18s 6d per cwt—in white rather more business trans-
acted.
MAIIRITIUS.—Importers are less inclined to realise,
and have supplied the market sparingly this week ; more
inclination has been shown to purchase, and privately
several parcels have been disposed of—the better
.quali-
ties are the most wanted, but of such the supply is still
small. This afternoon there was no public sale, but pri-
vately some parcels were sold at very full rates ; the
quantity remaining in first hands is greatly reduced.
EAST INDlA.—There has been no public sale of Foreign
East India Sugar this week. Holders still manifest
firmness, and nothing is pressing for sale privately. The
currency
has been only for small parcels, at the previous
; there are, however, purchasers of Dlanilla
and Java to a large extent at a slight reduction in prices.
To-day at public sale 290 baskets of Java Sugar were
sold at the full value, middling foxey yellow at 17s 6d

MOLASSES.—Awer
were sold
go
been transacted in
West India, but at low rates. The purchases amount to
300 puns St. Vincent at 225, Antigua, 24s 6d, St Kitt's
20s to 22s per cwt. The demand is still principally for
the outports. East India Molasses could only be dis-
posed of but upon low terms.
COCOA.—Foreign is held with firmness, and the de-

inwad is on the increase ; some parcels have been dis-
posed of privately at full rates, none has again been
offered at auction ; West India has met with increased
attention, at stiffer rates. Grenada sold at 44s to 44s 6d
for fine red, 43s to 43s 6d for good, 42s Gd for middling
rather dark and 31s to 43s 6d per cwt for sea damaged ;
Trinidad fetched 46s 6d for good bold red 45s to 45s 6d
for good middling gray 36s to 38s for old wormy, and
28s to 34s for very inferior ditto.
RICE-Bengal has met with less attention this week ;
Importers are more inclined to realise, and have sub-
mitted to a reduction on previous rates of 3d per cwt ;
by private contract, the operations are upon a small
scale, middling white at lOs 6d to 1 ls, good middling
bold Ils to lls 6d, good lls 6d, sea-damaged 5s to
11 s, and Indigo damaged lls. The market has become
viet for Foreign East India Rice, and at a public sale
Madras declined 3d to Gd per cwt ; low to good yellow
sellow selling at 8s to Gs Gd, and small pile of middling
white lOs 6d per cwt. Carolina at 21s to 265, and
Patna at 14s to 18s per cwt.
COCIIINFAL has brought full rates, and a fair busi-
ness has been transacted by private contract. None
has been offered at auction, but 40 serons Honduras are
declared for Tuesday.
COFFEE.-With West India Coffee the market has
been better supplied this week, still the trade have pur-
chased sparingly, and the limited business transacted has
been at a reduction on former rates of 2s per cwt. This
afternoon Rio partly sold at 30s for ord rather mixed,
and 28s for sea damaged, being the full value ; Savanilla
fetched 28s, and triage 20s 6d ; Ceylon mid coloury
B.Y. went at 81s to 85s 6d, low mid 71s to 73s 6d, fine
ord 62s 6d, pea berry 73s to 92s 6d, triage 42s to 52s ;
Mocha was nearly all withdrawn ; Havannah privately,
37s 6d to 40s per cwt.
TEA.-There has been more activity in the market
this week, and importers have shown firmness. The
rates previously established are fully sustained for
Congou, and the demand has been good for all descrip-
tions: 10 id to lid paid for large parcels of common
sound, I lid to is Oid for good common, is id to Is 6d
for middling and good blackish leaf, and is bid to 2s 4d
for fine and Pekoe descriptions. Pouchong has met
with increased attention at 5d to 9d, and for superior
sorts 10d to Is per lb have been paid-this is still the
cheapest description of Tea. Souchong, however, is not
much wanted, and the supply exceeds the demand.
Scented Orange Pekoe is greatly wanted, and prices
rule high, owing to the smallness of the supply; sales
made at 3s Id to 3s sd. Plain Orange Pekoe at is 7d
to 2s 4d ; Twankey at is 2d to is 3d per lb ; the better
kinds is 4d to is 8d ; and superior Hyson kind Is 9d to
2s sd. Imperial and Gunpowder are in good request.
Hyson common at 2s 4d to 2s Gd per lb. For Caper
there has been a much better demand. In Flowery
Pekoe and young Hyson the operations are upon a more
extended scale, and prices rule firm. To-day the mar-
ket was firm, and a fair business was done in most de-
scriptions, common and good common Congou cash
fetched lid to is old per lb.
SPICES.-Holders of Black Pepper have shown firm-
ness this week, and none has been offered at auction.
To-day Cassia Lignea met with more attention at public
sale, but a decline on former rates of is to 2s per cwt,
good middling l lb bundles went at 58s 6d to 61s,
mid 56s 6d to 58s, good ord 50s 6d to 51s, half bundles
51s to 545, mouldy 48s 6d to 53s 6d, cockroach
damaged 49s 6d to 54s 6d, sea damaged 445,
broken 47s 6d to 48s 6d per cwt. Of Nutmegs
16 casks were offered, and mostly sold at firm rates,
good mid brown Singapore fetched 3s 6d to 3s 7d, good
3s 8d to 3s 9d, fine 5s 2d, mid 3s 4d to 3s sd, low mid
3s. and worm eaten 6d to is Id ; sound for exportation
only taken in at is 6d to 2s 2d. Mace, good bright Sin-
gapore fetched 5s 7d, good mid 4s 6d to 4s 9d, mid
3s 2d to 3s Gd, ord 2s Bd, add mouldy la 10d.
Cloves were not much in request, and 41 chests Penang
at public sale sold Id to 2d per lb cheaper, and went at
2s 5d to 2s 7d for fine bold bright Penang, and 2s to
2s 3d for good. Pepper was little inquired for.
SACO has been inquired for, 112 bags at auction wore
bought in at 14s per cwt fur middling small brown Pearl.
Sago Flour at 18s to 20s per cwt. Holders remain firm
and supply the market sparingly. This afternoon of
Sago 190 chests at auction were all taken in at 24s for
fine small white Pearl, and 21s for fine large Brown
being above the value.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Of Jamaica Rum,
in second hands, extensive parcels have been taken by
the shippers and the home trade, at prices showing an
advance on those previously quoted of Id to 2d per
gallon. The purchases amount to 400 puns at 3s 8d to
4s 6d for 32 to 38 per cent over proof. Leewards at
2s 4id to 2s 5d per gallon proof. Demerara at 3s 5d to
3s 7d for choice marks 36 to 41 per cent over. Calcutta
Rum at 2s 2id to 2s 3d per gallon proof, with certificate.
The arrivals of Rrum are still small. Brandy-Cognac
best brands, of the vintage of 1838, hhds at 5s 4d, puns
at 5s 2d ; ditto 1839, hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ; ditto 1840,
hhds 5s Id, puns 4s lid ; ditto 1841, hhds ss, 'puns
4s 10d; ditto 1842, hhds 4s 9d, puns 4s 7d; middling and
good middling 3s 3d to 4s 6d, and low 2s lld to 3s Id
per gallon; of the last mentioned sort the supply has
become scanty. Geneva fine for home consumption is
fetching 2s 6d to 3s 6d per gallon. English Oorn Spirits
remain at lOs 2d per gallon, nett cash.
FRUIT-Grocers have taken several parcels of Cur-
rants, paying 47s to 49s for Patrass, and 41s to 43s for
Zante and Cephalonia. Importers show much firmness.
INDIGO. -An increased desire has been shown to pur-
chase East India this week. All descriptions have been
in excellent request for exportation, and several parcels
sold for home consumption. Picked lots are fetching a
profit of 2d to 4d per lb ; at public sale, however, 100
chests were withdrawn at stiff rates ; Madras at 2s 3d to
2s 4d per lb for low quality. Spanish is wanted, and the
tendency of prices is upwards ; the market is sparingly
supplied.
SALTPETRE.-In the early part of the week the mar-
ket for rough, without any apparent cause, suddenly be-
came dull, and previous rates were with difficulty sus-
tained. To-day some purchases were made privately.
At auction, 850 bags Calcutta were taken in at 6d per
cwt above the value, 5 per cent. refraction good dry yel
lowish white at 26s 6d, the remainder, however, sold at
very full rates ; and fetched 24s to 24s Gd for middling
grey, rather damp 131 d per cent. refraction.
OILS.-In common descriptions of Fish Oils few pur-
chases have been made this week, and former rates are
with difficulty maintained. Pale Seal at 35l to 35155,
and Cod 331 15s to 34/ per tun. Sperm Oil is wanted,
and prices rule high. Linseed is again cheaper, but at
25s per cwt a good business has been transacted ; the
supply is, however, on the increase. Rape Oil at 36s 6d
to 37s for pale, and 35s 6d to 36s per cwt forbrown. Olive
Oil at 451 to 461 for Gallipoli, 431 to 441 for Spanish, and
Barbary 401 per tun. Holders show firmness. Palm
at 26s to 28s per cwt for good and fine quality. Cocoa
Nut Oil at 28s to 30s per cwt. This afternoon at public
sale 140 tuns of Sperm Oil went at 831 15s to 851, and
Headmatter 90? to 911 15s ; of 130 tuns of Southern a
small part only sold at 291 lOs to 31/ for good and fine,
and 261 10s to 28/ lOs per tun for inferior.
TALLOW.-An increased desire has been shown to
purchase Russian Tallow; on the spot the demand has
been very good, and an advanced rate paid, P Y Candle
selling at 41s 3d to 42s per ewt for fine quality. For
delivery the operation are upon a more extended scale
at 42s per cwt for the last three months of the
year. Town Tallow has brought stiffer rates and
the market has been r.early cleared at 40s 6d to 41s per
cwt nett cash. For other sorts of Tallow prices are still
improving. This afternoon at public sale New South
Wales Tallow sold at 36s to 42s 3d ; Taganrog 3E's Gd
to 403 3d ; South American 35s to 39s 6d ; fine Sheep
Odessa 40s 3d to 40s 6d ; and East India 42s to 42s 9d
