ed villain. Taking every word of this statement
to be true, what would it prove, but that he had by
delusive arts so worked upon the imagination of a
girl of sixteen, just let loose from the restraints of a
boarding school, as to lead her to acts of levity,
with which he has now the baseness to upbraid her ?
Every step, therefore, that he takes only plunges
him deeper in crime; and though the House of
Lords will naturally hear him, if he desires it, before
it passes the Bill to set aside this mock contract, we
should think he may spare himself the pains, if he
has not both better facts and arguments to offer than
those to which we have alluded; and to which, by
the by, we should riot have alluded at all, if the ap-
peal had been confined to the proper tribunal, instead
of being made public, apparently for the double pur-
pose of catching the stray votes of weak and wrong-
headed people ; and of throwing unmerited odium
on a quarter which no man, with the feelings of a
man, would, under suds circumstances at least, at-
tempt to stigmatise.—Morning Herald.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday.)

SUGAR.—There is no particular alteration in the Sugar
Market this week ; the demand for Muscovades has been
steady and considerable, and we think the prices of good
and fine Sugars are rather higher.—The public sale of 120
hhds. Barbadoce, the first new Sugars from that island,
sold yesterday with briskness at very full prices, 595. a 70s.
—There is no alteration to-day in Muscovades, the de-
mand is considerable, the prices rather higher. The sales
this week nearly 3,000 hhds.—ln the Refined Market
this week, the demand fur low goods for export 1, s rather
increased, and the prices are again rather higher. No
Lumps offer under 81s.—Molasses are 245. 6d.—The
Bengal Sugars this week have sold rather lower.—The
Benares, 1,000 bags, nearly all taken in 335. a 565. A
small parcel of 148 chests White and Yellow Havannah
were offered at public sale ; the White was of good quality
and colour, and brot:ght from 43s to 445. 64. whiCa is Is.
to Is. 6d. under the previous prices obtained by private
contract ; the Yellows were likewise of good quality and
colour, and brought from 345. 6d. to 355., which also
may be considered rather under former prices.—The
Mauritius sale, 1,600 packages, to-day sold Is. higher ;
the Yellows particularly were high : the price 555. 6d.
for dry Brown, up to 635. for fine Yellow.
COFFEE. —The public sales this week have gone off
steadily at full prices ; Domingo 455. 6d. up to 465.
PROVISIONS.—There bag been no final settlement as to
the duty on Foreign Provisions, the g-eneral report of the
Market is that the transit duty will be about I Is. per cwt.
payable on the shipment of the provisions. In Irish Beef
and Pork there is no alteration, the purchases still in a
great measure suspended. Some India Hamburgh Beet
has been sold at Si. 10s. In American no purchases are
reported. Bacon continues in good demand ; some new
Irish Butter has sold at 105 s. ; Dutch 100 s.
INDIGO.—The Market is rather heavy, but no parcels
are forced for sale at lower prices. The accounts from
Calcutta to the 25th January, state the estimated crop at
75,000 maunds, the quality very inferior.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market
looked firm and improving, and the price had advanced to
38s. 3d., when extensive sales for future delivery took
place, which lowered the Market ; these contracts were
made in some instances 3d. to 6d. under the market prices,
with the privilege to the seller of making the quantity
double, if he thought proper. In Hemp or Flax there was
no material alteration.

SlLKS.—Bengal Silks are selling, or rather they are
offered, :at is. a Is. Eid. below last sale's cost; but little is
doing in the Market. The general opinion is, that a fur-
ther reduction must take place, the trade is so flat.

COTTON—The sales of Cotton in London for the week
last night inclusive, consist of

100 80wed...6d a sid I 230 Bengal... 4d a 4-id
1,000 Surat...4id a Sidl 100 Smyrna . 9id duty paid.
" Manchester, 23d May, 1827.

" The demand for Calicos for printing (both for home
consumption and exportation) as well as for Ginghams and
fancy Muslins, during the last five or six days is without
precedent, and the prices and those asked last week, and
with some difficulty obtained, may be easily got to-day.
The Stocks of manufactured grey goods have not been
known so low during the Dist five years. It is in contem-
plation, at Blackburn, to advance weavers' wages again thi,
week 3d. per piece. lam of opinion it will be done, and
from the present appearance of things, I think the Market
will support or warrant the manufacturers in doing it."
SPICES—East India Spices continue neglected. Pi-
mento sold rather higher, very ordinary 91d. to 10d. for
good.

Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND6-The Rum Contract
with Government was taken yesterday, 60,000 gallons; at
Is. Hid., the remainder, 40,000, to be brought from an
outport, a shade above Is. 11d. ; it has an unfavourable
effect on the Market, bringing the prices of proof Leewards
down to 2s. a 2s. Id. ; the sales of Rum previously well
too inconsiderable for enumeration. Brandies are not quite
so heavy : a few purchases are reported. 1826 about 3s.
7d. : 1825 and 1824 3s. 3d. a 3s. Id. Sorge Spanish
Brandy sold at 2s. 3d.—ln Geneva there is no alteration.
At a late hour a parcel of fine Jamaica so high as 4s. 3d.-
2s. has been repeatedly refusedifor proof Leewards.
• Cocoa—By public sale Grenada Cocoa sold 455. a 60s.
