To•morrow evening the grand banquet takes place,
which is to be given :at Covent-garden Theatre, to
Mr. O'Connell. We believe that no spectacle of our
times will surpass it ; indeed, we doubt whether any
will equal it. The Conunittee have been unremitting
in their efforts -to render the arrangements worthy
of the occasion, and _ the eagerness exhibited in
fashionable circles to see the festival is unequalled.
It has been found necessary to enlarge the area of
the theatre to its utmost extent, and even then the
space falls short of the size that is required, The
stewards have made reserves of tickets up to the latest
moment, and to prevent disappointment to strangers
coming from distant parts, have resolved to give up
their own places, rather than exclude any who are
anxious to join in this grand national testimony of
sympathy with Ireland.

ACTIONS OF MAHABAJPOOR AND PUNNIAR.—MF.
Wyld, of Charing-cross, has just published three ex-
cellent sketches-in reference to the two great battles
gained by the British arms at Gwalior. One de-
scribes the route and positions of the Army of Exer-
cise before the commencement of hostilities ; another
gives an outline of the movements of the Anglo-
Indian army under Sir H. Gough upon Maharajpoor
and Choundah ; and the third, a similar outline of
General Grey's engagement in front of Gwalior.
This celebrated place, it will. be seen from the map,
lies between the scenes of action, being about ten
miles from Punniar and eighteen from Maharajpoor.
The rivulets, valleys, and temporary forts erected for
the occasion are exhibited with much precision, and
the sketches altogether will be found very useful in
forming a correct idea of the country around the
strongest fortress in India. They are published to-
gether in one small sheet and are accompanied by
notes pointing out the lines of attack, the positions of
the different regiments in the course of the day, and
the respective camps of the victors after the battle.

MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.).

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIZI.DI3.
For the best qualities of Potatoes, the demand is very firm,
at fully last week's quotations.. In all other kinds, the sup-
plies of which are seasonably extensive, only a moderate bu-
siness is doing, at late rates.
BOROUGH HOP PIARRZT.
Since our last report only a- moderate business has been
doing in this market ; nevertheless holders are very firm, and
have obtained full prices in every instance.
WOOL DIAXICEIT.
The demand is somewhat active, at prices fully equal to
the late advance. No public sales are yet appointed.
TALLOW.
This market remains steady, and fine Y. C. is very firm
and scarce, at 4s 3d. There is no feature to notice, except
that a fair business has been done in new Tallow during the
week at 41s 3d to 41s 6d. Town Tallow is plentiful at 41s

SEIZURE UNDER TIIE INCOME-TAX.—It is well
known in this district, and no doubt almost equally so
throughout the kingdom, that the firm of John Fielden and
Brothers, the largest spinners and manufacturers in the
kingdom, made their return under the Income-tax Act, in
1839, 1840, and 1841—NiL This return, it is also pretty
generally known, was not satisfactory to the Commis-
sioners, and in consequence one of -the partners appeared to
show cause aginst a surcharge of 12,000/. per annum, which,
at sevenpence in the pound, amounted to 3501. The indi-
vidual who thus appealed made oath to the correctness of the
return, i. e., that no profits had been made by the firm
in those years ; and not only this, but the Commissioners
should have access to all books and documents in corro-
ebvoerra,tiwonouolfdtnhoetrbeteutianktenhaats a hasdetboeff again
been mode. a
71i/return. The
All this, how-
result is, that on Tuesday last Mr. Thomas Fielden, it is said,
delivered to the officer charged with the execution the keys
of their warehouse in Peel-street, Manchester, and probably
the officer is now in actual possession. That the Govern-
ment will sell there is no doubt_; that the firm will permit
a sale is equally certain, especially after what the Hon.
Member for Oldham has publicly stated on the subject.
The wisdom of permitting such extreme measures
has been freely canvassed on 'Change, at Man-
chester; but as it is notorious that three of the most
disastrous years (since 1836) were those of 1839, 1840, and
1841, the years from which the profits were calculated, the
general impression is that the case is an extremely hard one ;
no one supposing, who has any knowledge of the extraordi-
nary losses sustained on the immense stocks held by the
Messrs. Fielden in those years (report states the amount at
one million pieces), but that the return was precisely what it
ought to have been. When the sale is to take place has not yet
been stated, but come when it may, the attendance will be
such as was never In itnessed on any similar occasion.—Leeds

PICKLING WITH PYROLIGNEOUS ACID.—The ad-
vantages which this acid has over malt vinegar ought not to
be overlooked : it possesses a very desirable property—that of
hardening or rendering crisp whatever is pickled in it, and
that in a very short space of time compared with vinegar; it
is also suitable where distilled vinegar is required, and more-
over not more than one-fourth the price of the latter. There
is no doubt of this acid being extensively used in the whole-
sale way, although the pickles would not appear of so good a
colour,--Polytechnic Review,
