CITY
.MARKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

Itai►r.—The dealings are not on an extensive
scale, and the quotations rather heavy. The de-
livery last week was 534 puns.; the stock 19,416
puns. and 1,515 hhds. In Brandy no variation.
SPlcEs.—The demand is steady for most descrip-
tion of Spices, but this morning not much is doing;
buyers waiting the result of rather an extensive public
sale to take place this afternoon.
SALTPETRE.—SaIes have been effected at a re-
duction on the East India Company's prices. The
nearest quotation is 255. 6d. per cwt., buyers.
HOPS.—The market is dull. The amount of
duty of the kingdom is not yet ascertained, but is
expected to come near 180,000/.

INDIGO.—The accounts from India relative to the
probable produce of the Indigo crop are very con-
tradictory. In some districts the plants were nearly
scorched up, while in others the planters anticipate
a fair produce; " The general opinion was, that
90,000 n►aunds would be the extent of the crop.
The business doing in Indigo is more limited at
former prices.
BALTIC PRODUCE.--A new turn has taken place
in Tallow, the price having
;fallen to 395. Very
heavy arrivals are expected in a few days, which,
added to an aliesence of real business, has produced
the decline. The speculators were anticipating a
rise to 4.25. The home produce will also be larger
this year. The accounts from St. Petersburgh to
the 2d inst. state that Tallow there was at 104
rubles. Shipped off 153,900 casks, freight 375. 6d.
The delivery last week was 2,110 casks. Exchange
at St. Petersburgh, 10 15-32ds. There is very
little doing in Bristles, some large arrivals being ex-
pected shortly.

TOBACCO.—Some speculation is going forward
in Tobacco, and prices are looking up.
01L5.—The market remains very steady, Greea.
land at 261. per tun.
CoTToN.—Very little doing except in Surats
The Company's sale takes place on the 19th.
The entries for the export of Bullion since Friday,
have been 212,000 oz., viz. 176,000 oz. of foreign
gold and silver bars and coin, and 36,000 oz. of bar
gold and silver.

Among those merchants and traders who have
connexion with Glasgow, the late heavy failures
there have produced some alarm ; but it is gratifying
to find that the disasters in Scotland are not likely
to have any extensive effect in London—at least such
is the present. opinion. Business, however, had re-
ceived a check, and a partial want of confidence is
observable.

TATTERSALL'S.

In the Derby betting the three favourites hold a negative
-position, for although first in the odds, neither his Ma-
jesty's colt, Prince Eugene, nor Will-o'-the-Wisp, 'is
backed; indeed most of the influential men evinced a
most disloyal anxiety. to lay against the King and the
Prince. Towards the close of the afternoon they were
evidently on the totter, IS to 1 being freely offered on the
field—Electress having the call. At the same time Can-
vas, Espagnolle, and the Exquisite (the latter is now in
Chifney's stable), should be mentioned as having receded,
while Brother to Sontag, Augusta, Ombre, and Less, were
severally backed to a considerable amount—the latter was
also in great request for the Oaks, and from the character
of the party backing her, there is little doubt of her .be-
coming a better favourite. Lord Exeter's Green Mantle
was backed by a gentleman of some weight, who may
fairly. be supposed to know whether she is any the worse
for having bandages on her legs. Varna appears to be
giving way to Luss. A busy day closed thus :

LITERATIAt.

FOREIGN REVIEW, No. IV.

A marked improvement,- both as regards mat-
ter and manner, has taken place in the two last
Nutribers of tbis iairy deserving periodical. The
comintinications have a more eondenszd spirit
about them ; there is less of display, and more
of real unaSsUming utility ; iii fad, the
Review altogether is far More readable than
formeily. Its success, we are delighted •to hear,
is commensurate with its ekpectatiOns i d its
deserts—consequently it has no stinted circula-
tion. The first article in the Number is ofa
comprehensive character, embracing the history
of Russian • literature and poetry down to the
present period. The subject may, at first glance,
appear unpromising; but those who remember Mr.
Bowring's spirited translations of Russian poetry
will gladly embrace the opportunity of knowing
more about it. • Of • Lomonosov, whom we had
occasion to mention some time since, in our no-
tice of one of these foreign Journals, the Re-
viewer gives a highly interesting account; he ap-
pears to be the one great name in Russia. The
following sketch of him therefore will need no
apology :

" We proceed now to Lomonosov, who has been com-
pared, not unaptly, to the splendour of the Aurora Bo•
realis, whose fafitastic coruscations illuminate the polar
regions. Lomonosov is a brilliant example, proving that
real genius will burst through'every obstacle, and defy the
counteracting influences of climate, and all the enthralling
circumstances of life. Neither the blue skies and rich
vales of Greece, nor the sunny plains of Italy, could have
yielded him nobler inspiration than has the wild storm on
the shores of the White Sea. Few poets are more sublime;
still fewer have displayed such universality of power; for
poetry was but one of the talents possessed by this richly-
gifted niind. The stores of history, criticism; oratory,
chemistry, mineralogy, natural philosophy, astronomy,
were, in turn, increased by this enthusiastic student. In
poetry, too, he displayed equal variety, there being scarcely
any form of composition of which he has not left specimens.
It has been beautifully and eloquently observed by one of
his countrymen, that what Peter was to the politics of
Russia, LOIOOI3OSOV was to its literature : he found his
native language rude and unpolished, and imparted to it
harmony and symmetry, remoulded it, gave it new laws,
banished its barbarisms, breathed into it a fresh spirit, and
transmitted it as an eloquent vehicle of thought to his suc-
cessors." •

The " Works of Oehlenschlager," the Danish
Dramatist, contains some novel information—
more novel however than entertaining. Never-
theless, the article will repay attention, only
for the spirit and elegance of its translations--in
which, by the way, this Journal eminently
excels. " Dumas' Military History" gives a
delightful picture of some of Buonaparte's
Italian campaigns, interspersed with a variety
of sound and judicious comments. " The
Works of Ugo Foscolo" has been evi-
dently drawn up by one well acquainted with
that irritable and eccentric genius, who rarely
made a friend by his intellect one day that he
did not lose by his temper the next. His novel,
however, of Jacopo Ortis is, we think, over-
rated ; that production is assuredly more to be
admired for its extravagance than its genius.
In this Review occurs the following cursory re-
mark, which proves its author not unacquainted
with human nature :—" That Foscolo was like-
wise personally, though slightly, acquainted with
Alfieri, we are well assured, from the best autho-
rity, that of their own testimony ; but there
existed, perhaps, too near resemblances in cha-
racter to have rendered their friendship lasting."
TheatimMing up of Foscolo's character is neatly
done ; we ourselves can speak to its truth ; it is,
however, quite favourable enough :

" To his natural frankness and love of independence
Foscolo may be said to have chiefly owed the misfortunes
of his life. Re never could acquire. that degree of worldly
deference requisite to accommodate himself to the prevail-
ing tone of fashionable life, and to all persons, seasons, and
places with equal ductility and ease. Nor did his political
enemies more severely visit the sins of candour and courage
upon his head, by closing against him all the doors of pre-
ferment and success, than did the exclusive system and dic-
tation of fashionable life, in which he at one period moved.
It seemed to be expected that a man of ardent genius, and
strong feelings, disappointed in all his efforts, awl just
escaped from the wreck of his country's hopes and inde-
pendence, fresh front the strife and storms of revolutions,
should at once show himself in possession of all the little
observances of polished life, so peculiar to those fashionable
and silken circles which first courted his society. The
result may be easily anticipated ; nothing could be a se-
verer punishment upon Foscolo than not to speak of per-
sons and things as be thought and felt ; but the fine car of
high-bred society was still less capable ortolerating truth
than that of a Viceroy. The resolute and consistent spirit
of Foscolo soon whispered to him the propriety of re-
tiring more within the circle of his own studies and pur-
suits: unlike other splendid but less magnanimous spirits
who burnt out the light of their genius to the very socket,
to enliven the duller circles of milk and fashion by which
they way at last consigned to destitution and neglect. In
short, the faults of Foscolo, both as a writer and as a man,
seem to have existed in the original con,truction of his
mind ; in the irresistible impulse, and bold unconstrained
avowal of his thoughts and opinions, as they arose in a
highly-gifted but nut worldly-regulated mind.. Indeed, his
whole errors, his imprudence, and his misfortunes, ori-
ginated in the same generous source; and thus it was con-
sidered little short of a crime to oppose the oppressors of his.
country, and to offend the hienseance of polished lit;!. He
was a 6 warm friend, generous, grateful, though his vir-
tues appeared those of savage nature, when compared with
the sophisticated reasoner,, cf our times,' "
The remaining articles we must perforce dis-
miss with this expression of general praise, that
they each will reward perusal, especially the ad-
mirably written life of Heyne.

A public Dinner took place on Friday last at
the Albion Hotel, Ranisgate, in order to testify the attach-
ment of the inhabitants to the Protestant Constitution of
these realms. Sir THOMAS GREY presided. The com-
pany were honoured by the attendance of the Duke of
NEWCASTLE, the Earl of WINCIIELSEA, Sir E. KNATCII^
aura, and Sir W. Cnivrts, each of whom disburthened
himself of much superfluous eloquence. A few shillings'
worth of mob were in attendance to cheer these illustrious
sages as they passed to and from the hotel.
