COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

There was a good supply at this morning's market, but
the trade was dull, and prices about as on this day se'n•
night. There were a few Green Pease, Green Goose-
berries, and Green Currants, in the market, but as these,
to use the language of a market gardener, were only in the
hands of one or two of the Dons, their prices were a secret.

embarked—the various attempts of individuals to encraic
upon the privileges of the trade, which have been c(4l,
ferred only to the public good—the painful instances of w;
destruction of licensed property by the doubtful decisi
of irresponsible authority, all concur to prove the nor
T;
city of a paramount and effective union among all t'
branches of the trade."

Mr. LAtter proposed the second Resolution, and cA)l';
