SMITHFIELD MARKET.

• At this day's market, which exhibited a rather nume-
rous, but not very gaudy supply of Beasts, with about an
average number of Sheep, Calves, and Porkers, Beef went
off tardily at little, if any, variation from Monday's prices,
whilst Mutton and Pork commanded a brisk sale, at full
2d. per stone, and Veal from 4d. to 10d. above them.

CITY MARKETS, Two O'CLOCK.
PLANTATION SUGARS.—At the opening of the
market on Tuesday there • .was 'very little disposition
shown to purchase, but before the close of the day,
between 7 and 800 hhdS.. had been disposed of at
about the prices of last week ; yesterday and to-
day the business done was comparatively trifling.
The stock in the West. India Docks is now only
12,275 casks less-than at this time last year, and
the deliveries for some weeks past have been full
1,000 casks per week less. A public sale of 2,817
bags Mauritius Sugar was brought forward yester-
day, which may in a measure account for the flat-
tiess in the raw market ; the whole were sold, with-
out spirit, at Is. 6d. a 2s. under the prices of the last
sale. Another sale of upwards of 10,000 bags is
also advertized.

In Foreign Sugars there has been nothing done

is week.

REFINED SUGARS:—LOW Lumps, for immediate
shipment, are taken off at the prices of last week,
but there evidently is. not so much eagerness to pur-
chase ; low single Loaves and small Lumps are taken
off more freely 'for packing ; the fine Grocery de-
scriptions continue very much neglected, and might
be .bought at lower prices. In Crashed .there ,is
scarcely anything doing.
COFFEE.—There have. been .no public sales this
week, and the purchases by private contract have
been extremely-limited; Sc; Domingo of good qua-
lity has been enquired after, but no sales are reported.
Delivered last week from West India Docks, 329 Casks ;
364 Bags, &c.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on sth Dec. I`± t;) '
11,294 Casks ; 78,433. Bags, &c,
• FRUIT.—The arrivals of every description of Ne‘V
Fruit since last week have been extremely large, and
the eagerness shown by
,Spjrle ,of importers to
effect saes haS evidterzillytail:the deCt.of lowering
the prices. New 80, Smyrna Aaisius of fine qnit-',
lity, whichlast week were sold a- 525., are. now sell-
ing.a 505.; consequently the Importers of Valentia
Raisins, in order to,effect sales, have been :obliged to.
reduce their price•to 565. Fine pulled Tufty Figs
continue to be much sought after : the Middling
qualities go off quietly, at the price of laSt
.the other descriptions there is no alteration. •
In Rum no extensive bargains have lately been
made : the Market this 'week has, however, exhi-
bited symptoMs of revival. As adVanced prices have
been demanded, not much has been done.
SPICES bear nearly the same value as in the early
part of the week. The demand for Pimento is
languid, and the former prices are barely maintained.
The demand for Cinnamon has rather subsided.

The Market for SALTPETRE, continues pretty
steady at from 6d. to Is. under the highest prices
lately obtained. The deliveries this week from the
warehouse, have been small: the exports to the
Continent have also become less than for the last two
or three weeks.

SILK.—The East India Company's sale, whi.

takeS place in the beginning of February next, will
consist of 2,400 bales. The Silk trade is rather
mere brisk at present than it has been for some time
past : the rates given for weaving are, however, ex-
tremely low. The imports of Italian raw silk, this
week, are Unusually heavy; but the prices have not
given way. Turkey• Silk is held rather less firmly,
the accounts from Constantinople being more
peaceable than was anticipated. After the present
month the manufacturers anticipate a revival of trade.

There are'no.fresh accounts from St. Petersburgh
this morning. Russian produce continues heavy, ut
about the former-quotations. The stock of Tallow,
which is much beyond what will be consumed pre-
vious to the arrival of the Spring ships, will, it is ex-
pected, be much increased by the home produce.
Bristles are heavy, and in Hemp and Flax little-is
doing. Tho deliveries of Tallow this week have
been very small.
CovroN.—There is an increasing disposition
manifested to purchase, .and the business done this
week has been on rather higher terms. Although
the accounts from the manufacturing districts
generally complain of the low rate of sages, still
the demand for Cotton goods for the foreign Market
is great. Egyptian Cotton continues to meet with a
ready sale at an advance of price—ordinary fetching
7d., and fine from Bd. to Sid. East India Cottons
likewise bear higher rates.
During the prcsent week, there have been entered
for exportation to Calais, 250,000 ounces of silver
coin, all foreign.

The celebrated WM. CORBETT, in his. ast
political Register, has developed a plan of paying his
igricultural labourers in food, and urges the farmers in
general to copy his example. The baneful effects of paying
workmen in goods, has been dreadfully felt in this neigh-
bourhood.-2-Nottinghra Review.

COUNTY ELECTION.—The Election for a
Representative fur this County will take place to-day, when
the Honourable JOHN BoYLE, second sou of the Earl of
Coax, will be returned without opposition, iu the room of
the late laineuted Lord Viicount Ennismore,— Cork Con-
stitution, Dec. 4.

CITY OF LONDON LITERARY AND SOI•
ENTIriC INISTITUTION.—On Wednesday evening last, the
first of a course of three gratuitous Lectures .was delivered
at Albion Hall, on
Zoology, or the Natural History of
Animals, by Mr. HENRY AvinANs, a Member of the
Institution, illustrated by -representations of various ani-
mals in phantasmagoria. The attendance of Members was
numerous, and frOm the manner in which they ' testified
their !Ipprobation, they proved the lively interest they took
in the lecture, especially as being delivered by one
of their
society. In all philosophical and scientific institutions it
would be highly desirable if Members, who have acquired
knowledge in any department of science, would give their
servieta to their respective institution" in A similar mono'.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—DFc. 6.

There has been a marked improvement in the betting
for the last week or two, a great number of horses hav-
ing been backed, and a good field made up for all three
Stakes. Merchant was backed yesterday to 7001. or 800/.
at 7 to 71- to 1 ; but the four horses immediately follow-
ing him were very quiet. Lord Grosvenor's stable, 'for
both Derby and Oaks, is in high favour, as they' are all
by Blacklock ; they promise to become good favourites..
The Hampden colt is receding, owing, perhaps, tcy the
breed being proverbially bad temperqd. • The odds on this
Stakes closed thus :
