given at the last-salk.' The deliveiiis from the East India
Warehouse are large, and some heavy shipments have bee°
made to the Continent.
The deliveries in TALLOW have been large this week
amounting to 5,240 cwt. The price remains ahont the
game. The delivery of Bristles in the last seven days, hai,
not exceeded 23,000 hogsheads. Hemp and flax renal"
firm.
Business in TOBACCO has rather increased. The Oho'
ries in the week ending last night, are very great,
about 100,000 hogsheads : nearly all the prices are about
the same.

Woot..—The demand noticed .in our last report for
Spanish Wool continues, the' deliveries of this description
in the week ending last uighti have exceeded 55,0001ba.
The arrivals of German Woola have fallen off very_ consi-
derably. Spanish Wools are from W. to 6d._higher.
SALTPETRE—Clantimies in steady demand for 'con-
surnption, at from 245. to 248. 6d. The deliveries have
increased, and are 1,595 cwt. this week. The sale at the
India House of 500 tons, is declared for the begioning of
mext month.

StLx--.Maintains the late advance, in manufactured
goods an increasing demand may be noticed this week•
The Throweters are now the most eager purchasers of rot
Silks. Turkey Silk is much inquired after, and the quo-
tation of Brutin, is from 14s. 6d. to 14s. 9d. ; the holders
demand the latter price. There are few arrivals of French
manufactures reported. The stock in the country of Os
description is however large, and little or no profit can be
made by exporting.

CoTiow.:L-The sale at the India House, which com-
menced this Jnorning, was well attended. During the
week not much business has been done, but prices are firm.
East India Cotton-is in demand. The deliveries have ex"
ceeded 35,00011 A. this week. Of other descriptions the
deliveries have been since this day week 141,8971b5.
Egyptian is much inquired after at the former advance.
The East India Corrox sale of to-day, consisted of
8,900 bales, nearly the whole of which was inferior Surats.
For these there was no demand, as the selling prices were
considered too high, and the major part was bought in,
Of Manilla there were 600 bales of good quality—these
sold readily at from 7d. to 7d., rather under the last sales
as the quality was superior to that last sold. Of Bengal
there were but 24 bales, all inferior, and they- with difficult,/
obtained 3id. to 4d. per lb. The sale went off very flat,
and quite different from what was expected. There are
several other sales of Cotton to-day. Twelve hundred
bales of American were attempted to be sold, but nearly
the whole was bought in, and the actual sales were a shade
below the Market price. The other sales have not yet
concluded.

town in the course of the ensuing week. A Council is ex-
pected to be held to-morrow or Saturday at the Royal

ANOTHER PO-TEMPORARY.—SOTtIe mem-
bers of the Scottish Bar, strenuously endeavour to imitate the
pronunciation of their Southern neighbours—whilst others
doggedly adhere to broad Scotch. One of the former class,
when pleading before the Court of Session, observed, that
he had seen so and so in the Coureay ( Courier) of
that day,' upon which a well-known Barrister inter-
rupted;

in his perusal of the Morning Pd.

Saint Gregory were proceeding to church, the indistinct
cries of some persons in distress were heard from the flood- .
4 part of the moors, and, at first, without its being dis-
covered from what particular spot they came; at length, a
person imagined he saw at a very great distance, something
like wood floating in the water ; a telescope having been
procured, it was ascertained that what appeared to be logs,
were the heads of two men, the other parts of their bodies
being immersed. A beat was soon provided, which put
off to the rescue of the sufferers ; but, snch was the dis-
tance of the spot, the centre of an immense lake,
that it was nearly an hour and half before they
could be taken up. It appeared that the men bad

a place seven or eight feet deep ; one of them had supported
himself on some concealed bars of wood, while the other
.held by both hands on the end of one of their oars, which
had fortunately stuck upright in the mud. Although in a
most distressing state of exhaustion, having remained in'
their perilous situation a considerable time before their cries
were heard, the poor fellows, from the promptitude with'

TIIE LATE STORM.—TIic extraordinary
1824, is worthy of remark :
ever considered that the changes of the moon invariably
operated (not only in this country but in all parts of the
world) in causing changes in the weather and fluctuations
in the tides. Destructive storms usually took :place with
spring tides ; butssince the memorable storm of 1824, all
was at a quarter before one o'clock in the
the gales in this part of the country, worthy of notice,

to have been at three o'clock M. the morning, at which
time the surface of the water ought to have been about 13
feet above the level of low water mark. The lower part

borne out in what we stated last week, and that no im-
