FISH MARKET, BILLINGSGATE.

This day's market was pretty well furnished with a ge-
neral assortment of fish, the quality of which appeared
good, and the prices reasonable. Salmon was not so plen-
tiful as yesterday, but there was by no means a scanty
supply. Shell-fish continues scarce and high in price, but
more especially Lobsters.—Tbe following were the prices:

PLANTATION Suaa as.—The Market has not been 80
well supplied this week as might have been expected from
the number of vessels arrived and now landing ; still there
has been a good deal of business done, but not at such very
firm prices as last week, as the buyers for consumption pur-
chase with rather more caution, in consequence of the great
advance which has taken place : the speculators also have
considerably relaxed in their purchases, and several of the
importers having shown themselves rather anxious to secure
sales at the present prices, has rather tended to cause a
pause in the operations, but yet the market may be consi-
dered to ,have closed firmly to-day. The public sale of
Barbadoes on Tuesday last barely supported the prices of
the sale of the previous week : 3,318 bags Mauritius were
all sold at public sale yesterday, the brown qualities being
taken off with great spirit, at very high prices; 17,779.
bags East India were also sold yesterday by the East India
Company, which excited considerable interest. The sale
went off with much briskness at higher prices.
Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 3,286
hhds., 348 trs.
Stock on hand in the West India Decks on the 23d inst.,
21,185 hhds. 2,424 trs.
Stock on hand in the West India Docks on the 25th of
July, 1826, 32,098 hhds. 2,868 trs.
FOREIGN SuoAits.—Nothing material has occurred this
week. The application of the Refiners for an extension of
the time for paying the duties for home consumption has not
yet been complied with.

REFINED SUGARS.-The Market is in that unsettled
state at present, that it is difficult to ascertain the business
doihg. The Hamburgh houses are doing very little, the
last accounts received being very unfavourable. Those
parties who have cleared Foreign and East India Sugar for
home consumption, appear to be the chief purchasers, hay-
ing their bonds to complete for exportation. There are
but few goods on show, and the Refiners are stiff in their
demands. In crashed there is very little doing. Molasses,
buyers at 28s.
COFFEE.—The oloury descriptions of Plantation offered
by public sale on Tuesday and yesterday found ready buyers
Sat full the previous prices; bat the sale of to-day, consist-
ing principally c Dominica and Dutch, did not go off with
quite so much briskness : 794 bags Foreign (St. Domingo
of fair quality) were offered, but bought in at 455. 6d. For
Foreign Coffee there does not appear to have been so much
demand this week.
Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 938
casks, 2,926 bags, &c.
Stock on hand in the West India Docks on the 23d inst.,
11,816 casks, 72,571 bags, &c.
Stock on hand in the West India Docks on the 25th
Ju1y,•1826, 191;840 casks, 75,824 bags, &c.

i'ainT.—The Market remains much the same as last
week. Red Smyrna Raking continue exceedingly scarce,
and have been sold at Os. ; in other descriptions there is no
alteration.

The hay-harvest has been taken in about
ShafteslmrN, and has suffered very little damage. A fort-
night of dry weather would mature the wheat harvest, and
ensure an abundant crop, but there appears no certain•imli,
cation that such a fort.night will ensue. We will not ven-
ture to assert, that there are not among the farmers, as
among other folks, men who are not always sincere in their
devotions ; but we give them, to a man, implicit credit for
sincerity, when they pray for fine weather in harvest time.
—Dorset Chronicle.

GARDEN ROBBERY.—The garden of Mr.
W. Shuck, in 4ritannia-square, having been frequently
robbed, persons were on Sunday morning set to watch;
between one and two o'clock, a man named Thomas Price,
was observed to enter the garden and go up to the onion
bed, in a manner which evidently showed he was not visit-
ing it for the first time ; he was suffered to take some of
the onions, and then lie was apprehended. He was on
Monday taken before the Rev. Robert Clifton, and being
convicted of the offence, the Magistrate adjudged him to
three months' imprisonment to hard labour in the County
Bridewell. The case was the more aggravated, as Price
was living apparently in decent circumstances...-Under the
Act of 7 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29, it is provided, that any
person convicted of stealing, or destroying, with intent to
steal, any vegetable production, in a garden, hot-house,
&c. shall, at the discretion of the Magistrate, be imprison.
ed only, or imprisoned and kept to hard labour, for any
term not exceeding six months, or else shall forfeit, over
and above the value of the articles stolen, such sum of mo-
ney as to the Magistrate shall seem meet, not exceeding
201. Persons convicted a second time, shall be deemed
guilty of felony. By c! 30, it is provided, that persons
maliciously destroying vegetable productions iu a garden,
hot-house, &c. shall be liable to the same punishment.—
These Acts came into operation on the Ist instant, and
the above is the first conviction in this neigbourhood.—
Worcester Journal.

The fashionable world have at last awoke, and
are determined not to suffer gross imposition, by paying
two guineas the pair for WELLINGTON BOOTS, when they
can get those of the very best quality, made to measure, at
ONE GUINEA, at SALE and Co.'s, No. 33k, Strand. This
firm employ a great number of men, and have great diffi-
culty in getting supplies for their numerous customers—so
ready are the public-to patronize fair dealing.

Extract of a letter from Falmouth, dated
July 24 :—" You will no doubt have seen in the news-
papers a copy of the address which was presented by this
town, on Sunday, to his Royal Highness the Lord High
Admiral, on board the Royal Sovereign yacht, together
with a copy of the Duke's reply, which is particularly in-
teresting to this pert, and all parties connected with it, as
it sets at rest the long agitated question of the removal of
the packets to Plymouth or Milford. His Royal Highness
entered into familiar conversation with several gentlemen
of the deputation, and repeatedly expressed his conviction
of the great
,superiority of Falmouth as a packet station,
and the very. considerable advantage it possesses over any
other port in the Channel during the winter season, when
N.W. winds commonly prevail, and with which vessels
could weather Ushant from this port alone. His Royal
Highness also spoke of its importance during a war with
France, as being nearly opposite to Brest : it is a point
from whence a fleet could effectually act, and he regretted
that time would not allow his accepting of an invitation to
a public dinner, which the Mayo.; Corporation, and prin-
cipal inhabitants, were desirous of giving to his Royal
Highness, The Lord High Admiral and suite shortly af-
terwards proceeded in the yacht to Milford.
The British Museum will close on Monday
next for two months.

FAITH AND GOOD \YORKS.-A gentleman
relates that he.once received a carious illustration. on this
important subject from a person with something of a cleri-
cal appearance, with whom he happened to enter into con-
versation, while riding along the sea-shore :—" Sir," said
the stranger, " my opinion of the matter is this: let us
suppose that I am in a boat in that bay with two oars, one
of which I call Faith, and the other Good Works, now
I want to proceed to that town at the head of the bay : if
I put out the oar Faith, and pulp with it, I should only
pull, the boat round and round, without advancing an inch.
If I lay in Faith and put out the oar .Good Works, I shall
just pull myself round and round, only in an opposite direc-
tion. But if I pull with both oars Faith and Good
,Works; and give the boat's held the proper direction, then
I shall be certain of arriving at the wished-for haven."—

INTOXICATION IN ALL Li Quoßs.—Brandy
kills soonest : it Ikea most rapidly to the head, and tinges
the face t%a crimson, or livid hue. Rum is probably the
next in point of fatality, and after gin and whiskey. The
most dreadful of all liquors is rum when it is not very old.
It is such certain death to Europeans in hot climates, that
the sale of new rum is prohibited in our Southern Colonies
by the most severe laws. But whelia man talks of the. ef-
fects of brandy, rum, or gin, or, indeed, of wine of any sort,
he is erecting a theory upon a shadow. What ninety-nine
men in a hundred drink as brandy is no snore that liquor
than. it is champagne. Most of the brandy drank in public-
houses, or bought of inferior retailers, is nothing more than
spirits of wine diluted and flavoured. The Hollands sold
by publicans is a mixture of gin and whiskey. As to gin,
it is .a liquor as different from itself as table-beer is different
from pure alcohol ; much of this liquor is composed of mi-
neral acids, of turpentine, and other rank poisons ; if di-
luted and exposed to the atmosphere, it is covered with a
putrid film ; and one dose to a person not accustomed to
drama.dritiking, may occasion death,—/Vanchefter 11frefid,

TATTER SALL'S.--Ju LY. 26.

*The rooms had a very full attendance to-day, and the
betting assumed a very spirited character. Considerable
alterations, it will he seen, have taken place in the St.
Leger Stakes. Reviewer has completely left the field.
He opened at 20 to 1, soon fell back to SO to 1, which was
taken; 40 to 1 followed, and immediately after the coup
de grace was given to the Ould Boy, at 50 to 1 ; he
partially recovered before the close, but 40 to 1 are the
present odds, and no takers. Mameluke is tottering, and
it was even betting on Granby bein the favourite before
'starting. The latter has got up, and stands his ground
well at 5 to I ; 6 to 5 was offered on the field against any
two. Some betting, though small, took place on the
York Thirty Guinea Stakes. At six o'clock the closing
prices were thus :
