COVENT GARDEN CIIURCUYARD.—As your remarks
upon intramural interment, and the state of our grave-
yards, have been so pertinent and seasonable as to cause
universal attention, allow me to relate what occurred in
Bedford-street, Covent-garden, on the 19th and 20th of
this month. Eight double loads of the consecrated
ground, full of human remains (as might be expected)
were wheeled from Covent-garden Churchyard, where a
brick grave had been dug, to the bottom of Church-
place, and there remained till removed by carts, to the
horror of the inhabitants and persons passing in that
street—the various bones of the human body being
played with by boys, and jaw-bones, with the teeth per-
fect, taken up by various individuals. On inquiry, you
will find the facts worse than my representation. The
waterman for the coach-stand, who was on the spot the
whole time, was horrified at the desecration he was
obliged to witness.—Correspondent of the Builder.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday evening
last, as Mr. Speed, farmer, of Burton, near I'arkgate,
was returning home from Liverpool with Mrs• Speed
and Miss Jones, the shandry which he was driving came
in contact with a large stone which projected on the
side of the road, and they were all forcibly thrown to
the ground. Miss Jones was unhappily killed on the
spot; Mr. Speed has since died from the injuries he re-
ceived; and Mrs. Speed is still severely suffering from
the effects of the accident. An inquest has been held
on the two persons deceased by Mr. Churton, and a
verdict of " Accidental death" returned. Chester
Courant.

GLASGOW.—THE WEATllER.—Yesterday was the
coldest day we have yet experienced this winter. The
frost throughout the day was most intense, tho ice re-
maining firm on the streets in the very centre of the
city, notwithstanding a clear and bright sunshine. We
understand that, for the last two days, the skaters of the
city and neighbourhood have had an opportunity of en-
joying their favourite sport at the fine shut of water at
Priesthill. Should the present keen frost continue, the
lovers of this manly and health-giving exercise will have
an agreeable prospect before them.—Glasgow Paper.

HEROIC; CONDUC t OF THE
RECTOR OF FALMOUTH.
Early on Friday morning a schooner was observed
to be entangled on the coast between the Manacle
rock and Pendennis Castle, with a pilot cutter near
her. Later in the morning she stranded directly
under the cliff, above which is the mansion of the
Rev. W. J. Coope, the rector of Falmouth. She
proved to be the Mary, of Dartmouth, of 123 tons
burden, Thomas Jarvis, master, from Acre, on the
coast of Africa, 10i days, for this port for orders.
Her cargo consisted of palm oil, the property of W. B.
Hatton and Sons, of London. Her crew were seven in
nun, her,of whom two were blacks. They had born four-
teen days without any provisions, except an allowanee
of two table spconiuls of flour daily, end it had been
agreed to kill the dog on board on Friday for ins.
tenance, unless relieved. The pilot cutter had joked
her at Mawnon Head, when the pilots requested the
master to pass the hawse aft, that they might take
her in tow ; this was not attended to, probably from
the exhaustion of the "crew, of whom two were
laid up, or it might have been from their attention
being engaged with the sails, which, one after the
other, were blowing away. In the meantime the
vessel had become entirely embayed, and could not
not get out, from the delay which had occurred. At
length the pilots told the master to let go his anchors,
for assistance was then too late, she must go on shore.
It was evident from the larboard anchor being stowed
the schooner was not prepared to meet this casualty,
but the starboard anchor was let go with 40 fathoms
of chain, but from some cause it merely temporarily
checked her going dead on the shore, the sails being
of no use from their damaged state, and at length she
was driven within 100 yards of the cliff, over the
rocks. It was by this time nine o'clock, and some
hundred persons had begun to assemble at Gyllyndune
and on the cliff, under which the stranded schooner
lay, the waves dashing over her at each return, and
the crew clinging to the lee side, making earnest ges-
tures for assistance. At length the expedient was
adopted of throwing the log line from the ship,
as a primary means of establishing communica-
tion. The rector, haring a great knowledge of
the footing on the cliff, attempted to catch the
line, for which purpose he waded into the
water some feet, and was nearly carried off
by a sea. To the log line a large rope was attached,
and to it a hemp cable ; the end of the cable was
fixed round a bridge in Mr. Coope's walk, near the
bathing place. The first who ventured and succeeded
in reaching the shore by the cable was the mate. It
was a passage of much hazard to himself and most
considerable excitement to the bystanders, being some
seconds suspended midway, owing to the rope not
traversing the cable, and by every lurch of the vessel
dashed into the surf on the rocks. The remainder
of the crew were got on shore one by one in a barrel,
hung by a hank to the cable. As they landed they
were taken to the mansion of Mr. Coope, in which
act of benevolence the ladies of the reverend gentle•
man's family took a most prominent part. Soup,
brandy and water, coffee, and a joint of meat,
were placed before them ; the greatest care being
taken to guard against the danger to be appre-
hended from the incautious feeding of long famished
men. To those who were inclined to take rest,
beds were offered, of which three of the men took
advantage, including an African, whu appeared quite
exhausted. Mr. Coupe, throughout the entire day,
remained in the vicinity of the wreck, offering every
assistance in his power. By three in the afternoon
the tide had receded from around the wreck, which
enabled a free footing to her for those employed in
landing her stores, and to the thousands of curious
persons who wished to witness more minutely the
havoc of the morning. The vessel was found to have
lost her false keel, her rudder was broken in two, her
stern-post started, her bow larboard streaks entirely
carried away, and her bottom smashed. On Saturday
71 casks of palm oil were brought round and deposited
in the cellars of Messrs. Broad and Sons. On Sunday
the weather was boisterous, and nothing further could
be saved ; but on Monday a great part of the remainder

THE HUMxARIAN PATRIOTS IN

NEW YORK.

On Saturday evening the steam-ship Hermann,
Captain Crabtree, arrived in our port from Bremer-
haven, in Germany, via Southampton, having on
board General Count Ujhazy, the late civil governor
of Comorn ; Miss Apolunla Jagello, and other distin•
tinguished refugees from Hungary. We went early
aocncotpar2ie
dnodn
them to the I
Sunday morning last
and Astor astto meet them,
Houses,hem,and
where they had been invited to take up their quarters.
Here we were introduced to the noble refugees, and
had the pleasure of taking them by the hand. The
Governor, Ladislas Ujhazy (pronounced Wehazy),
is a venerable-looking old man, apparently about
sixty years of age. He wears a long flowing grey
beard, and had a singular striking and venerable
appearance. His manners are simple, unaffected, and
unostentatious ; yet be is a nobleman by birth,
and was the possessor of a large hereditary
fortune, the greater part of which has been
seized upon and confiscated by the Austrian Govern-
ment. His lady and daughters are like himself in
manners—simple and unpretending—though belong-
ing by birth, habits, and education, to the highest
class of European aristocracy. We were much pleased
with the personal appearance of Miss Apolonia, the
Hungarian heroine,who as rumour reports, has fought
in many battles for the liberties of Hungary. She is
at the Irving House. She is a fine blooming, hand-
some young lady, about 24 or 25 years of age, of
pleasing address and manners, with a fine colour on
her cheeks, and quite feminine and ladylike in her
manners. No one would suspect on seeing her that
those delicate hands, enshrouded in delicate white kid
gloves, and that slender form, had ever been seen
dashing among the crowd of combatants on
the field of battle, mounted as a hussar on
horseback and dealing out wounds and death
to the enemy with flashing sword in hand. She
seemed herself quite unwilling to admit the fact, or
speak upon it, yet she showed us her hussar jacket, in
which she was attired. She would not, however, tell
us how many men she had killed. We learnt from
other sources, however, that her chief participation in
the Hungarian war had been at the head of one of
the military hospitals, where, with her own hands,
she had waited upon the sick and wounded, and had
nursed „And taken care of them with all a woman's
tenderness. The calls yesterday to see these distin-
guished and amiable sufferers at the Astor House
were very numerous- In the evening, at ten o'clock.
a grand serenade was given them, which was executed
in their honour in front of the Astor, underneath
their windows, and drew together a great crowd.
There were some fifty or sixty vocal and instrumental
performers, principally German amateurs, who per-
formed iseme of the beautiful soul stirring airs of
" Fatherland." We understand that to-day. the Hon.
Daniel Webster is to visit the refugees.—New York
Herald.

SIR JOIIN BARROW'S MONUMENT.—The site origi-
nally suggested as being in every respect the most suit-
able for the erection of the proposed monument to tho
memory of the late Sir John Barrow, Bart., has been

Hill of Hoed. The height of the monument is to be 150
feet. From every portion of Morecambe Bay south-

ACCIDENT AT 13R1TANNIA•BRIDGII.--CIANARTON.
MONDAY.—Owing to some inadvertence, correct infor-
mation had not been conveyed to Liverpool, on Saturday,
as to the postponement of a six-foot lifting" of the
second tube, now daily progressing towards its final
resting place; the consequence of which was that the
smack Robust, Captain Edwards, of Aberystwith, on
returning from Liverpool with a general cargo, whilst
passing the Swillies under canvass, as was necessary at
the time, struck her masts against the tube, and received
serious damage. She succeeded, however, in reaching
this town, where a great number of hands were em-
ployed, during the whole of Sunday night, repairing as
far as possible the effects of the casualty, that the !veld
may proceed on her voyage without delay.

Mr. Pullman replied that the account was covered

There was also one remark in witness's own hand-

When the depositions had been completed,
Mr. Campbell, the solicitor concerned for the Lon-
eon and Dublin Bank, applied to have the bill given
1.,,c1c into his possession, as he had only parted with
on the understanding that it would be returned to
nini when the evidence was closed. It was indispen-
ible to have the bill in the proceedings now pending
he'aalf of the London and Dublin Bank.
Mr. Humphrey objected to the bill being given up bill had been made part of the evidence in a case
LA' prosecution by the Queen, and therefore it must
remain in the custody of the proper officers.
Mr. BINGUAM said, the solicitor was under a wrong
impret.sion about any und(rttanding that the bill
wou!,l be given back to him. Nothing of the sort
toa place. The bill would be kept in safe custody,
bu' would be forthcoming fur the purposes of the
olit:itt,r whenever it might be required.
Mr. Campbell sail, in a recent case &different deci-
.,ion had been arrived at.

Mr. BINGRAM said, the case referred to was one of
misd,meancur only. The present was a case of felony,
and that made all the difference.

The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute.
The second charge, for fraudulently obtaining three
bills for 7501. from Lieutenant: Garland, was about to
be called on, when

Mr. Ballantine rose and said, his client wished the
case to be further adjourned, in order to give him
further time to consult with his friends, and prepare
his answer to the charge.

PUBLICITY TO CASES UNDER TUB INSOLVENT
PROTECTION ACT.—Complaints have been made on the
part of persons who have petitioned under the Protection
Act, that their names appear in the newspapers as appli-
cants four times within the year. In the cases referred
to, proposals have long been made to pay the creditors
by quarterly instalments; and protection being granted
for three months at a time, the cases have hitherto
appeared in the printed lists. In order to obviate the
nocessity of so much publicity, it has been suggested
that if the quarterly payments are made about a week
before the date of the protection, the names need not
appear in print. There are a great many insolvents,
especially Government clerks, who will gladly avail
themselves of the regulAtion, and escape appearing
before the public. The payments must be wide before
the lists of the wee,k are print, d. The subject has
been ssyr( ral times before the Cutnmissioners, and they
have expressed their willingness to adopt a plan to avoid
frequ. nt notice of cases, provide d no harm was done to
creditors. Persons who were anxious to pay their cre-
ditors were not to be placed in a worse position than
those applicants who made no proposals to pay their
debts.

PROVIDENTIAL. ESCAPE.--OD Monday evening, a
gig belonging to Mr. Reynolds, of Truro, was at Chace-
water, with his son in it (a lad ten years of age), when a
carriage returning from the west, and coming down the
village rather fast, came in contact with the wheel of
the gig, and turned the vehicle completely bottom up-
wards, with the child underneath; strangely, however,
neither the child, horse, nor gig were injured.— West

DEATH FROM WANT AND EXPOSURN TO THE COLD.
—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr.
M. Wakley, the deputy coroner, in the board-room of
Ilolborn workhouse, respecting the death of a male
person, apparently about forty years of age, at present
unknown, who died from want and exposure to the cold,
under the following very shocking circumstances:—Tbe
body of the deceased presented a most frightful appear-
ance, and was entirely covered with filth and dirt. It
appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that,
shortly after nine o'clock on Friday morning last, Mrs.
Martha Gibbs, a married woman, residing at No. 11,
Tyndall-buildings, Gray's Inn lane, was suddenly
alarmed by hearing some person moaning in the cellar
at the basement of the house. She instantly went to
the spot, and found the deceased lying in one corner
of the cellar, huddled up in a quantity of filth and
dirt. The decased appeared perfectly insensible, and
Mrs. Gibbs immediat. ly obtained the assistance of
several police-constables, who had the deceased removed
to Holborn. workhouse. He was literally black from the
dirt in which he had been lying, and his body was ex-
tremely emaoiatt d. He was instantly stripped and
placed in hot blankets, and the usual remedies were
applied, which consisted of ammonia and brandy; but
the deceased never rallied, and died shortly afterwards.
Two penny pieces wt re found placed upon two ulcers on
the deceased's legs, and a few pieces of stale bread were
also discovered in his pockets. The deceased obtained
admission to the cellar by means of the window which
looked into the street. The coroner remarked that the
cellar appeared to be in the sam' bad condition as before
the cholera broke out. The parochial authorities ought
to have the place thoroughly cleaned every week. The
jury returned a verdict of death from exhaustion, caused
by exposure to the cold, and the want of the common
necessaries of life.

There is still little disposition to operate in Pieces or
Bastards, whilst the former are offered at from 22s to

Crushed Sugar not much has been done, still prices .re
firm at from 26s to 29s for low to fine. The value of
Hambro Loaves, for 10 and lslbs, is 31s to 321 6d
per cwt : at present there are not many purchasers.
To day a fair quantity of Refined Sugar wes sold, and
former rates were well kept up, whilst there was not a
larger quantity on offer. The market for Bonded
Crushed Sugar is still firm.
FOREIGN.-There has been several inquiries after duty
paid parcels, but holders refusing to accede te previous
terms cans-d operations to be of little impertence
and c.,nfined to 600 cheats of yellow Havanna!),

India; still the sales made have not. le-en of much
moment since this day week, but an improvement, is
generally looked for.
Cocoa.-Holders of Foreien display firmness, nee
req•aire from 29s to 31s per cwt. whits,. there is ever)
prospect of a material increase in the demand taking
place shortly. Of West Jodie there is only a Lame,'
quantity on offer; the value of grey is from 38e to 43s
and red 403 to 50s per cwt, end th, re is some prospect
of a much better demand existing ',inertly,
COFFEE.-Deliveries have aga;'s exesedert
and the stock exhibits a material deficiency- a. c?napetee
with this time last year; a further decrease in ntipuffu
Lions is also expected to occur, with the exception of
Ceylon. Prices rule much above those current last year
at this time, but proceedings at the Continental markets
continua of a satisfactory 'suture. Native Ceylon
met with a goad demand here, and realised
553 to 55s 6d, whilst superior sorts in small parcels
realised 56e to 66s 6d per cwt. On the part
of holders there is much firmness, and few par-
cels are on offer, whilst au impression exists that prices
have not yet arrived at their highest point. Although
the stock exceeds that of the former year, yet it is
nearly all held by speculators and on Foreign acceunt.
Of Plantation several parcels have been disposed of at
rather higher terms. The value of low to good ordinary
sound is from 54; to 565, fine to fine fine ordinary 56s
to 603, low mid and mid 62s to 675, goad 68s to
70s; fine and superior, 72s to 90s per cwt; but sort;
under 70; have again met with the most attention: fine
sorts are moderate in value compared with inferior, this
is however not expected to be the case long. Mocha
continues in excellent request, and few parcels are on
offer. The value of good and fine clean garbled
is from 75s to 85s, low mid and mid 66s to
745, and mixed descriptions 60s to 65s per cwt.
An impression exists that higher rates Hill pre-
vail, as the stock in first hands is greatly reduced.
With respect to other East India sorts supplies are
not sufficient for the demand, and stiff rates are paid.
Sales of Singapore and Java have been made at 52e to
555; Company's 56s to 58s; Padang and Sumatra 45s
to 47; per cwt, indeed some holders will not sell at
these rates. There are many purchasers of Foreign
Coffee, and stiffer rates are paid, but the supply is
small, and not sufficient for the demand. For ord
and good ord Rio the value is 443 to 48s, and bet-
ter sort 49; to 60s per cwt. The stock is nearly all
in second hands, and for the most part consists of the
better kinds. The deficiency in the Coffee crops will
this year be most apparent in Java. Prices at the con-
tinental markets still rule above those current here for
Coffee. Export deliveries are far larger than in the
previous year, but for home trade purposes there is little
difference ; an increase is, however, expected to take
place in a short space of time. To-day there was much
Inquiry after Coffee, and higher rates were offered, but
business was prevented by the limited parcels on offer.
The present value of good ordinary Native Ceylon is
55s 6d to 56s per cwt.
TEA.-Operations in Congou have been upon a large
scale since our last report. Common kinds met with the
most attention, and realised an advance of id per lb,
whilst other sorts brought rather higher terms. Holders
display much firmness, and prices rule as follows:-
ord at 9id, good ord 104, mixed blackish leaf loid to
11d, blackish laid to is lid, ditto strong is 2d tc
Is 4d, flue 'and Pekoe flavour is 4d to is 104 per lb. Iu
Souchong the sales made are upon an enlarged seeks at.
from 10d to 2s, and superior at 2; 24 to 2s 64. Fur
Green Tea a better demand has been experienced, and
prices are on the advance, whilst less is on offer. Hyson
ruled at from is to Is 3d for ord to good ord, better
sort Is 4d to 3s 23, Young Hs sen 8d to is 93, better

sold to a fair extent ; fl,wery Pekoe at is to 2e 6d,
black leaf ditto at 9d to is 3d, and plain Orange

RICE.-To-day Rice was much sought after, but there

SPICES.-For Pimento prices rule at 5/d to 6d per lb,
but a public sale will take place! on Wednesday of
450 bags. when the real value of the article will be
tested. Black Pepper is held with firmness; Malabar
shot 3id to 30, other sorts 3d to 3d, and
Sumatra aid to 3id per lb. White Pepper is worth 4d
to 9.1 for ord to fine. Mace has been selling at 2; 2.1 to
2s Bd, and brown Nutmegs at 24 6,1 to 4s for old to fine.
On the part of holders of Cloves there is firmness. For
Cased!' Lignea prices rule at 96s to 104; for ord to

and full terms are paid.
SPIRITS.-There has not been much passing in Rum,

IRELAND.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.—The frost still con-
tinues with an almost Russian intensity. This even-
ing the thermometer stands 4k deg. below freezing
point. Of course all the ornamental and other stilt
waters are frozen over, and the canals and even por-
tions of the Liffey present a coating of ice. Skates,
which had been scarcely a day in requisition for the
last 11 years, are now all the rage, and the pond at the
Vieeregal Lodge and all the other pieces of water about
were yesterday and to-day crowded with skaters. So
intense is the frost, that the inside window-frames of
rooms in which no fires are lighted are covered with a
thick rime, which, when removed by a knife or the
finger. nail, comes off in crisped particles of ice. The
weather has not been so severe since the memorable
frost of 1838, which continued fur seven weeks, and
the break-up of which on the sth of February, as
luckily guessed in " Murphy's Almanac," secured for
that illustrious compilation a brief but most profitable
celebrity.
In the absence of other local news it may be as
well to disclose certain particulars I have learned,
from the best authority, regarding a conspiracy which
exists here against the poor—indeed against society
in general. As I perceive the monopoly of the
butchers forms matter of complaint in the London
press, the revelation of the mode in which the
combination is carried on here may prove
of interest, as I have little doubt the means
employed by the conspirators at both sides the Chan-
nel are analogous. At the bead of the conspiracy are
the salesmasters, through whom every animal brought
to Smithfield must be sold, no farmer or grazier
daring to sell to a butcher, nor the latter daring to
buy. The salesneasters, who are generally very
rich, and sustain one another, hold over or bring into market just as they please; they
advance money on the lot to farmer or grazier,
and " account" when the sale is concluded. To the
butcher they give credit, and as they are always sure
to have cattle on hand, so that the butcher can never
want meat for his customers, he has less inducement,
even if he had the courage, to have recourse to a
precarious supply from the few approachable farmers
or graziers unconnected with the Smithfield safes-
masters. Then, the butchers having killed their
meat, a meeting of delegates from all the masters
in Dublin meet every Thursday night, to
regulate the price; and woe to the man who
takes less than the indicated figure. The lowest
rate is pointed out ; beneath that he cannot go,
but he may, of course, get as high a figure as he can.
Hence there is often a difference of threepence in the
pound between the prices of the very same article in
the " grand stalls," as they are termed, and those fre-
quented by the working classes. Again, no person can
set up as a butcher except the son or brother of
a butcher; to such a person no salesmaster
would sell, no chandler purchase his suet, as, if
he did, the victualling fraternity would sell him none
of theirs. Lastly comes the combination of the
journeymen. If any citizen, or number of citizens,
purchased an animal in Smithfield, they might
slaughter it themselves, for they would not get a
journeyman butcher in Dublin to do it —so perfect
is the organization. Thus, with the Corporation,
utterly powerless over Smithfield, although by a
fiction of law, it is " the Corporate Market," the
people are left at the mercy of this triple conspiracy.
The following letter from the Hon. Member for
Manchester appears in the Galway Mercury, in reply
to an address from Miltown Malbay, county Clare,
forwarded to him by the secretary :
" Rochdale, Dec. 24. 1849.
" Dear Sir,—l have received your letter of the 18. h
of this mouth, and observe the signatures of several of
your neighbours appended- to it in token of their
approval of its contents. I have also received a copy of
the newspaper which contains a long address to me on
the subject of the sufferings of your country, and the
remedies which have been proposed or may be applied.
I can assure you that it gives me unfeigned pleasure to
know that anything I have said or done for Ireland
meets with the approbation of yourself and your
friends.

" It is a matter of deep regret to me that my time has
hitherto been so occupied, and that my efforts have been
so little availing ; but now, united with others who are
anxious for the restoration of your country, I have every
hops that each session as it passes will show that a new
policy must be adopted for Ireland, and that you are no
longer to be sacrificed to the arrogant pretensions of a
dominant minority, or your industry destroyed to up-
hold a reckless and bankrupt territorial aristocracy.
" The first duty of all Irishmen is to procure the libe-
ration of the soil of Ireland, so that her pauper people
may be employed, and that her tenantry may have
security for the results of their labour. This done your
national wealth pill increase, and you will every day be
obtaining greater power for the redress of your
political and ecclesiastical wrongs. There is a
party now in England and Scotland becom-
ing every day more numerous aid united, who are
most anxious for the good government of Ireland, and
if all'honest Irishmen will unite with them and me, I
cannot doubt that the future of your country will in
tone for the misfortunes of the past.
" I beg to thank you and your friends for your very
kind letter, and to subscribe myvelt, dear sir, you's
faithfully, " JOHN BRIGHT.
" W. Armstrong, Esq., Miltown Malbay."
I have reason to believe that efforts will be made
in several districts this year to introduce the cultiva-
tion of beet-root, with a view to the manufacture of
sugar. Mr. Copland, an eminent chemist and agri-
culturist, recommends it strongly, in fact, prefers it
to wheat :
" The beet-root (he says) arrives at maturity in five
months, and from the land, after it is not wanted; other-
wise a crop of tares or rape, for spring feeding, may be
taken. The wheat requires ten months to mature, is an
exhausting crop, and is liable to many casualties. At a
moderato estimate, therefore, the beet-root, which does
sot scourge the soil, is more profitable than the wheat."
He then expresses his belief that
"The extensive cultivation of this root, and its con-
version into sugar, will in some degree tend to extricate
the agricultural interest of Ireland from the dilemma in
which they now find themselves, and confer immense
advantages on the country at large. The soil and
climate are better adapted to it than those of any other
country in Europe; the mode of cultivation is already
well known, and its subsequent manufacture
into sugar is effected by a simple and rapid process;
whilst, by its adoption upon an adequate scale, a large
amount of money now annually paid to foreigners will
be retained and disseminated through the country."
The provincial papers received to-day contain very
few items worth extracting. The High Sheriff of
the county Wexford, according to the local paper,
has on the requisition of the Earl of Arran, and
several of the gentry and clergy, convened a
meeting for this day, to adopt a petition to
Parliament for the "protection of native
industry and capital." I anticipate a thorough dis
comfiture for the requisitionists. I perceive, by the
Tipperary papers, that Sir John C. Carden, High
Sheriff of that county, has called a protection meet-
ing in the Courthouse, Nenagh, on the 9th January. From the violent ill-feeling subsisting between the
landlords and the people of Tipperary, I expect not
only a defeat of the Protectionists, but personal danger to many of them.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Jan. 1.)
SUGAL—Since our last report no public sale of Co •
lonial has been held, still purchases to a fair extent have
been made by private treaty, whilst rather higher rates
are paid, and there is every prospect that the upward
tendency will continue, as dealers hold limited stocks, and
home trade deliveries are of a satisfactory nature. The
production of Foreign and Colonial is not expected to be
much larger than in the previoui season ; but of Beet
Root Sugar the production is expected to be much
greater. Prices of Sugar differ little from late years,
and yield only moderate profits to growers. The gene-
ral belief is that consumption of Sugar in this country,
on the Continent, and in America will be greater
than during the past year, and that higher rates
will prevail. The value of Brown West India
is from 353 to 36s 61, yellow 36s 6d to 41s,
grey 36s to 39s ; Mauritius, brown 30s to 35s 6d,
yellow 35s 64 to 40s, grey 35s to 395; Bengal, lo
fine white 39s to 434, strong ditto 45s to 48s, yellow
ditto 39s to 445, brown 36a to 389, soft yellow 33s to 355,
brown ditto 303 to 325, and yellow of a Mauritiu4
description 35s to 399 per cwt. There is every appear-
ance the quality of the Sugar will be superior to that of last
season. There is still a smaller stock of Colonial than at
this time last year, but of Foreign it is larger. The stock of
Sugar at the Continental ports is not much heavier than
in the previous year. Holders here appear to have come
to the determination not to over supply the market, and
with a few exceptions the public sales declared to take
place are of little moment. For public competition the
quantity of Sugar declared is 7,800 bgs Manilla, 150 hhds
ut Barbadoeti, 2,000 bags Bengal, 700 bags Mauritius, and
580 tihda Porto Rico. We find, by reference to the file
of the now closed year, that the highest average price
of British West India Sugar was on the 10. h July, when
it reached 27s 3id; nod the lowcst on the 9th January,
21s 1 lid. Of British East India, the highest was on the
11th Sept. 30, 3id ; and the lowest on the 9.h January,
23, 6d.
itEllNED.—Previous advanced rates have been freely
paid for lump Sugar by home dealers, and there is a
small supply, especially of common sorts, On the part
of refiners much firmness is apparent, and there are few
sellers for delivery at present rates. We quote brown
lumps at 49. i 64 to 50s, Standard lumps 51. to 51s 64;
Tittlers, low to fine 51s to 54a, double 543 64 to 555;
ll.itnbro Loaves 51s 6d to 54s 6d, and' double 55s to 565.
Of Wet lumps several parcels have been taken at from
4ti to 49s 61 for low to fine. An impression exists that
higher rates will prevail for refined Sugar. In Pieces
the sales made have been small, still quotations are
firm; good and flue at 41s to 465, and low to niiddling
384 to 403, but there are not ready sellers. For
[leotards the market is firm, and a good busi-
ness has been done, chiefly in ordinary sorts; the
value is from 301 to 335, and better 34s to 375.
Orders for Treacle have further increased, and all sorts
are held for higher terms. Sales of boiled from West

_, '2.;1:

11.

FRIIIT.—There has been little passing since our last
report, yet holders for the most part are not disposed to
press sales. The ♦alue of sound Currants is from 38s to
435, and of Valencia Raisins 47s per cwt.
INDIGO.—This afternoon 11 chests of Kurpah Indigo
at public sale went readily at from 2s 9J to 3s 4d ; these
are better prices. Of yellow Berries 40 bags Persian
were taken in at 71 to 71 5s ; 40 bags Turkey Galls 853,
but 17 bags of Turmeric were sold at 153 6d.
SALTPETRE.—The rough operations have been upon
rather a- larger scale by private treaty, and holders
exhibit more firmness. The value of low to mil is from
26s to 275, and good to fine at 27s Gd to 28s 6d per cwt.
An increase in home-trade deliveries is expected to take
place shorrly. Of British refined a fair quantity has
been disposed of at 29s 6d to 303. For Nitrate of Soda
thee., is )et a good demand, whilst few sellers are to be
met with under 13s 6d per cwt.
CoCHINEAL.—To-day the quantity:of Cochineal offered
at auction was large and amounted to 500 bags, still the
whole found buyers at full rates. Honduras silvers went
at 4s Id to 4s 9d, black 4i 10d to 5s 3d, Mexican 4s 2,1
to 4s sd, and silvers at 48 Id to 4s 3d per lb.
TALLow.—For public competition on Friday the
quantity declared is 1,6(10 pkgs the principal part
South American. There has been a decrease in the de
mend for Russian for all purposes, and previous rates are
not to be obtained. There are sellers of fine P.Y.C. on the
spot et 38s, and fur delivery in the next two months
at 38s 3d to 383 6d per cwt, but only limited purchases
have been made. Home melted is quoted, at 42,, but
subject to the usual discount for cash payments, and
there is still a good supply. Other sorts of Tallow are
not much wanted, and can be obtain( d at rather lower
terms. Prices continue to rule under the previous year;
but the stock:is greater; R.,ugh Fat is worth 2s 3d per
stone of 8 pounds.

OlLS.—there is a greater firmees in the market for
Linseed Oil, and a goad trade has been concluded
chiefly by home dealers. The rates paid have been
30s to 30s 6d per cwt on the spot. There are se-
vend purchasers for delivery at 295 61, but tew•
sellers are to be met with. Aa impression ex-
ists that the consumption of Linseed Oil this season
will exceed that of the previous one. Rape Oil is
not much wanted, and sellers are willing to accept
42s for pale, and 415 6d for brown. Cocoa Nut is
held with firmness, and several parcels have been
sold at from 33s to 355. For Palm the market is firm,
and sales to a fair extent have been made,
whilst good and fice arts have realised 32s to 335,
01,ve continues to be held with firmness ; Gallipoli at
441 to 451, and other sorts at 421 to 441 per tun, and an
extensive business has been conclud d. Sperm Oil is
still wanted, and there are not tree sellers of fine Colo-
nial at 831 to 84/. Headmatter is scare and worth
86/ to 88/. Seal Oil has been bought with
caution, pale at 381 10s, straw and tinged 341
to 371, yellow and brown 311 to 33/ 10s. Cod
is not to be purchased under 301 10s, 3 et few buyers are
to be met with. For low to fine Southern the rates
asked are 311 to 341, but only small parcels have been sold.
The stock of mast sorts of Fish Oil is light. For auction
20 tuns Palm and 20 casks Cocoa Nut are declared.

FOREIGN PAPER.—An importation having taken
place of a quantity of paper, for letter-writing, having a
name and address in the top left-hand corner, it WAS at
first cunsidere 1 to be an illegal importation, as havin,,
the names, marks, or brands purporting to 'be those ofb
manufac:urers in this kingdom, but it being subse-
quently found to have been imported merely for the
parties' IN ivate use, and that the name and address in
the margin were his own, which he affirmed to be the
case, directions were given for the piper to be delivered
on payment of the proper duties leviable thereon.
TRINITY-110USE.—We have to record the demise
at his residence at Woodford, of Captain Abel Chapman,
the senior of the elder brethren of the Corporation of the
Trinity-house. The deceased was in his 98th year, and
had been a member of that corporation upwards of half a
century, having been elected one of the elder brethern in
1795. He was most deservedly respected by a very
numerous circle of friends.

Is to 2s over the improvement of last week, but interior
qualities did not participate; our mill,Ts were tolerably
tree buyers. In foreign but little business transpired
landed parcels being held fur some advance. Very little
Ooing in malting barley, but rather more inquiry for
grinding qualities at late prices, and not much offering.
In other descriptions of spring corn but little doing.
The linseed market is fully as dear, with depressed
supplies; linseed cakes are much the same in value, but
demand is slow for the season of the year. No rapeseed
on the marker, and cakes, being mostly landed, are held
for a smart advance on late low rates. Without arrivals
of bones, th market is inanimate.

Died, on Saturday, the 3d of November, on board be'

John Duncan, the African traveller. Mr. Duncan wai
the son of a small farmer in Wigtonshire, North Britaio,
At an early age he enlisted in the First Regiment P
0.;
Life Guards, in which he served with credit for eighte
years, and discharged himself with a
high character far good conduct about the year 1840. In the voyage to the
Niger, in 1842, Mr. Duncan was appointed armourer!
and during the progress of that ill-fated expedition 13:
held a conspicuous place in all the treaties made by tb,,
c ,nmissioners with the native chiefs. He returned t"
England, one of the remnant of the expedition, with •
frightful wound in his leg and a shattered body, foil'
which he long suffered. With a return of health, how'
ever, came a renewed desire to explore Africa, alPi
under the auspices of the Council of, the Geographies'
Society, he started in the summer of 1244, not withal,
substautial proofs from many of the members of the
interest they took in his perilous adventure. The pin:
ticulars of his journey along the coast until lir,
arrival in ashorney were detailed in letters to 111,
f,iends, and published in the " Geographical Societi.
Journal of that period. From Dahomey he agsil;
retliLed to the coast, having traversed a portion 0
country hitherto untrodden by European, but brukel
down in health, and in extreme suffering from the 01
wound in his leg. Fearful that mortification had coo'
m
he at one time made preparations for cutt.ng
his own limb, a fact which displays the wonderaull7
great resolution of the man. All these journeys wet.

on his arrival at Whydah, was not only totally exhaush
ted,
but he was compelled to place himself in "pawn," as he
expressed it, for advances which would takepars of
labour on the coast to liquidate. From that disagreeable
position his friends of the Geographical Society soon
relieved him by an ample subscription, with which be
proposed to make a journey from Cale Coast to Tim'
buctoo, but the state of his health compelled him to re;
turn to Englind. lie was lately appointed Vic, eConse'

but poorly provided for.—Liverpool Albion.
