COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 12.—We continue to expect
' rience a steady demand for middling and good gro-
cery Sugar for the home trade, of which description
the sales this week (about 700 hhds.) principally con-
sist : the brown qualities are still neglected, and
prices may be quoted ls. per cwt. lower. Beside3'
the above, 600 bags good white Bengal Sugar were
taken by the grocers at 745. to 745. Gd. per cwt.
There is a partial inquiry for Foreign Sugar, and a
small parcel of yellow Havannah has been sold at
335. Gd. per cwt. West India Molasses are in limited
request ; two small parcels of Demerara and Barba-
does have been sold at 245. 9d. to 255. 3d. per cwt.
The business doing in Coffee is still confined to the
home trade, and is only about 120 casks Jamaica,
taken at our quotations. Nothing worthy of notice
done in Cocoa, Pimento, or Ginger. About 250
punchs. of Rum have been sold, principally for ex-
portation ; common Leewards at 2s. 2d. for proof,
2s. 4d. for seven over proof, and Jamaica of common
flavour at 2s. 11d. to 3s. per gallon for sixteen over
proof.

The demand for Cotton was more active in the
early part of the week than for some time past, and
since Wednesday it has been very animated ; the
dealers and spinners have bought freely, and more
business would, have been done had the holders been
disposed to accept of the offers made. An improve-
ment has taken place in the prices of American
Cotton of about id. per lb. but it is principally eon-
fined to the lower Linds of Bowed and Mobile;
Brazils and other descriptions are without altera-
tion. The sales (of which 3,000 bags American
have been taken on speculation, and 1,000 Ameri-
can and 200 Brazil for export) amount to 20,330
bags, consisting of
9640 sowed, at 6d. to 74-d. (12 at 7P.) chiefly at 6.4,1.
to bid. fir inferior to fully fair.

190 Surat, at 4d. to 41d.
110 Bengal, at 4d. to 41d.
The artivals are 1,3,194 bags.

The demand for Tobacco has been limited, and
we have no alteration to notice in prices.. 'llicre is
very little inquiry for Rice, and only a few casks
Carolina sold at 17s. to 18s. 3d. per cwt. The Core
market is without animation, and the prices of.
Wheat and Oats a shade lower than last week.
The only sale reported in Quercitron Bark is :211
casks (old) at lOs. Od. per cwt. Tar and Turpen
tine have been in more demand : 450 brls. of the
former :sold at an extreme price, and 2,100 brls. of
the latter article at l ls. 3d. per cwt. Our market
for Ashes continues very dull, with declining prices :
the sales of the week consist of 135 brls. Unitcd
States Pot (1828) at 30s. 6d.: 25 brls. Peat!
(1828) at 285., and 80 brls. Canada Pot at 295. bd.
to 30s. per cwt.
In Dyewoods the business has not been extensive,
being confined to 45 tons Campeachy Logwood at
71. 10s. to 71. 12s. 6d., and about 40 tons Jamaica
at former prices; a. ew tons of solid Nicaragua
Wood at 12/. 10s., and 20 tons Lima at 16/. and
174 per ton.-In Fustic, Camwood, or Barwood, no
sale*. are reported. For Indigo, Cochineal, and
Lae Dye, the demand is nearly suspended. There
is no alteration in Safflower; a parcel of seven baler;
East India has been sold at 61. 2s. 6d, per cwt.
Small lots of Sicily and Malaga Shumac have been
taken at 10s. 3d. to I Os. 6d. per cwt. for the former,
and 1 ls. per cwt. for the latter; and 20 tons Morea
Yalonia at 14/. per ton. Madder Roots continue
steady. Madders are dull of sale; one parcel of 20
casks French brought 445. per cwt. Nothing report-
ed in Cream of Tartar, Argols, or Brimstone. The
saleS of Saltpefre amount to about 300 bags at 235.
to 245. 6d. per cwt. There continues a demand for
Olive Oil in small quantities at. 32/. for Gallipoli,
and 28/. to 30/. per ton for Spanish and Messina.

to the sale which has just commenced. It consists of a
pathological and zootomical subjects, and
preparations, which represent
every part of the human body, and almost every indication
of disease. It is impossible in words to give an adequate
idea of this very extensive collection. Mr. Buocucts was
occupied thirty years in making it, and the few hours that
we could devote to its inspection only served to impress us
with the impossibility of doing any thing like justice to
its contents. To attempt description would bz to
invite failure. We may state generally, however, that
the scientific and the curious will meet with great
temptation in the wide and diversified mass of particulate;
which has been accumulated by the industry of an indi-
vidual. The rooms were greatly crowded, notwithstand-
ing the unfavourable state of the weather, but unfortu-
nately, the model-room, which formed the great attraction,
was so small, as' not to contain more than a dozen persona
at a time. Upon the whole: we have seldom been more
gratified than by the view of Mm. liriooKEs's museum, and
never more so by the view of any exhibition of the baffle
kind. We could not help regretting once or twice, that.
so noble a collection was about to he separated.—Vide the

`Tivrr Or THE PUBLIC SOURNALS.

(THE 'TIMES.)

The Chancellor a the Exchequer's Budget is
betore the country. We will not now speak more
of the imputed demerits of the old sinking fund.
We really think, that leaving those totally out of
the question, its abolition was desirable on the mere
principle of simplifying the public accounts; and
these accounts being once rendered simple and intel.
ligible, we trust that one step will be gained ,wards
the reduction of cxpences, as men are less likely to
err by extravagance who know clearly and under-
stand their circumstances. Much, however, remains
to be done in this sense. That monument of
financial puzzlepatedness, the dead weights Must be
first worn out ; and the system of issuing deficiency-
bills abolished, and the unfunded debt reduced.
Respecting the unfunded debt, it was inquired whe-
ther the 3,000.0004, now the acknowledged (7.triSS
Of income, and the only sinking fund, wc.s:re to be ap-
plied to its redemption. To this it was answered, that
the Bill to be brought in would allow of the applica-
tion of the 3,000,000/. either to the redemption
of the funded or unfunded debt; but Mr, Her-
ties had previously said, that though the state-
ments of the Chancellor of thu Exchequer on a
former occcasion " ought to hare expelkyl from all
men's minds any apprehension of the approaching
withdrawal of the I/. bank-notes, yet, as there was
still a certain degree of feverish feeling on the sub-
ject, it would be unwise at the present moment to
press any measure that was liked to produce any
immediate effect on the circulation.' With so much
ease is the extinction of small notes now spoken of,
which we were told that all the power of Gods and
raett could not effect In the first instance, there-
fore, the 3,000,000/. will, we suppose, be applied to
the redemption of unfunded debt ; and it is now to
be understood that the fund is always to be kept up
to 3,000,000/. of absolute excess of income over ex-
penditure : to this there can be no objection, if the
principle which is proceeded on be, that expenditure
shall always be ris..dly kept 3,000,000/. below in-
come; but tic imposition of taxes to cover an ex-
travagant p xpenditure by the proposed excess of
."-,00::),000/. would be scandalous indeed.

(MORNIN(4 I(ERALD.)

The Master of the Rolls, it would seem, is giving,
as he has before done, mortal offence to some of the
Gentlemen of the Long Robe, by a rule which he
has propounded in this Court, Hunting the number
of Counsel to be heard on a motion for a new trial.
If we except Sir William Grant, Lord Eldon was,
perhaps, the most patient listener to Counsel that
the Courts ever produced. At the same time it was

amusing to observe, that while a Learned Gentleman
was engaged in splitting a hair, or spinning out the
merest nothing into an argument of some hour's
duration, Lord Eldon would he sedulously employed
in poring over the papers in the cause—considering,
as no doubt he did, one page of facts worth a whole
volume of argument. In saying this, we are far from
meaning to undervalue the real services of an en-
lightened, zealous, and fearless advocate. The
press itself owes too much to such men to incur the
ingratitude which would attach to any, thing like a
slur upon the services which they have rendered to
public liberty, and to private property and character.
It is against the extreme and overloaded use of
Counsel that we complain ; and it is against that
alone we apprehend that Sir John Leach's efforts
are directed. It would be well if the reform which
the Duke of Wellington is introducing into Parlia-
mentary speaking could find its way into our Courts.
His Cirase's eloquence consists of facts, briefly
stated, and closely applied ; and, as compared to the
three and four hour harangues of his wordy prede-
cessor, is likely to be quite as useful to the country,'
though not to the literati who had the editing and
altering of them.

(MORNING CHRONICLE.)

.Nlost of the Speakers on Friday night compli-

mented Mr. Goulbuin on the honesty ana fairitc.s's
of his itatenient. Mr. Maberly said he " was willing
to allow that the Right Hon. Gentleman had dealt
Avith the whole subject fully and fairly, and that the
whole circumstances of the country had been ho-
nestly and impartially brought before the House.
This was the first time, after so many years of dis-
cussion, that the Sinking Fund was acknowledged
by a Minister not to be what it pretended to be—
the first time that a Chancellor of the Exchequer

had acknowledged the Sinking Fund to be created
by borrowing, and to be a delusion. He was glad
they had come at last to common sense and plain
dealing on the subject." Mr. Hume said what,
when the dryness natural to a Scotchtnan is con-
sidered, amounts to an equally high compliment.
" He would begin by admitting that the Right Hon.
Gentleman had stated pretty correctly, in figures,
how the country was financially situated." Sir
Henry Parnell " commenced by praising the
lair and candid statement of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer." Mr. P. Thompson " con-
cluded by complimenting the Chancellor of
the Exchequer on the manner in which he
made his statement in the early part of the even-
ing, and declaring it not to be his wish to refer to
any memorials of very different proceedings, and the
very different language of former periods." We re-
member once hearing a compliment paid to a lady
by a Frenchman which embarrassed her very much.
• Honnete, in French, as many of our readers must
know, amongst its other significations, means " kind"
and " polite ;" and the Frenchman, to whom the
lady had done a kind act, translating the word into
what be deemed its English synonim, observed,
" Madame, you are very honest." " I hope I am,"
answered the lady, puzzled to account for the French-
man's laying such a stress on a virtue, the want of
which would have been disgraceful enough, but the
possession► of which she could hardly look on as a
merit. It does seem strange that in an assembly of
English Gentlemen it should be attributed as a merit
to any man that he is fair and honest, that, in short,
he does not lie. We praise only what is rare—what
there is merit in achieving. Truth to men and chastity to
women have usually been supposed to be indispensible,
and in any other place than Parliament a gentleman
would not feel very much at his ease on being com-
plimented on the truth of what had fallen from him.
Neither, we presume, would a husband feel over
grateful for any one who should, by way of compli-
menting his wife, observe to him, " I do not believe
she has ever gone astray with any one." It is true
you will occasionally hear, in passiu 74n old clothes
shop, five or six Hebrews around a eJantrytnan, as-
suring him that their friend Moses is telling God's
truth—that be never slicats, and would not tell a
lie for the world. But, if common fame be to be be-
lieved, it is not without reason that truth is held in
high admiration among the Hebrews. But the House
of Commons' How happens it that in that abode
of purity it should be deemed such a wonder if a
Chancellor of the Exchequer should not practice
delusion—should be fair and candid ? How comes
it that such a number of gentlemen one after another
should attach such merit to the telling of the truth ?
We will do the gentlemen who bore testimony to Mr.
Goulburn's veracity the justice to believe that
their admiration was not what the Logicians would
call subjective, but was caused by the novelty of the
phenomenon in a Chancellor of the Exchequer. A
Chancellor of the Exchequer has hitherto considered
himself something like a Priest with the blood of St.
Januarius. He considered himself bound to cheat
and delude the public, for the supposed good of that
public. Mr. Goulburn having ascertained that the
credulity of the public would no longer swallow his
St. Januarius, has had the good sense to throw away
his Saint, and to tell the people fairly, " Well, I
know that my predecessors have hoaxed you at a
sad rate, but I will deal honestly with you, as you
now see through the trick." Truth, it has some-
times been said, is at the bottom of a well. In
some cases it is difficult, no doubt, to get at it.
But when truth is arrived at with difficulty, we
give the men who find it credit for very different
merits from those of fairness,honesty, and candour.

This praise of Mr. Goulim) c,:idently
not that he had any particular dilticitity iii arriving
at the truth; but that hit: predecessors took some
pains to get ont of the way of it.
