CITY MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUGA itS.-There has been a good deal of
business done this week, in some instances at an advance of
Is. per cwt. The deficiency in the Stock, compared with
the corresponding week last year, has this week increased
to 11,363 casks; up to this afternoon, about 3,400
hhds. had been sold, also by pnblie sale yesterday ,(.;83
bags Mauritius (which may be considered as fully equal to
900 hhds. more) the whole of which went off very briskly
at full prices.
Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 2,764
hhds. 313 trs.

Stock on hand in the West India Docks on 29th ult.
.49,089 bhds. 4,549 tea.
Stock on band in the West India Docks on Oct. 31, 1826,
62,396 lilids. 5,405 trs.
FOREIGN Sc GA Rs.—There are some inquiries for brown
and yellow Brazils and Hava.nnalls, but at present ;there
appears to have been very little done.
REFINED SUGARS.--Although the accounts received
this week from Ifamburgh have been again unfavourable,
low Lumps continue to be sought after, and are taken
quietly out of the market at an advance of 6d. per cwt. ;
the business done in Crashed has lately been so trifling.
that the middling descriptions, which are chiefly taken for
Crashing, havofbeen a very dull sale, and at prices very
much out of proportion to those of the lower qualities ; in
the Grocery descriptions there has been rather more doing,
but upon a very cautious system.
CorrEr.—The public sales of Plantation brought for-
ward this week (altogether about 620 casks) have gone off
at rather low prices; they consisted of very irregular par-
cels, chiefly the ordinary to fine ordinary descriptions of
Jamaica, for which at present there is nut a limited de-
mand. Some lots of middling qualities were also o'J-red,
but the prices obtained were barely equal to those of pre-
vious sales. The public sale of 1652 bags St. Domingo,
on Friday last, attracted much attention, and went of;
with briskness at from 38s. 6d. for ordinary pale to 40s.
6d. a 41s. for good coloury quality.
There has been no public sale of Foreign since, but pri-
vately there have been many inquiries, and some parcels of
fair St. Domingo have been sold at 40s. ; 395. and 395.
6d. has been bid for some very ordinary samples, but
refused.

Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 614
casks, 1,0:35 bags.
_ _ .

Stock on hand in the West India Docks on the 29th ult.
y,512 casks, :72,300 bags.
Stock on, hand in the West India Docks on the 31st of
October, 1826, 12,547 casks, 80,182 bags.
Faurr.—The first cargo of new Currants has been
taken by the trade ; butts a 925., and caroteels at 945.,
quality fine : another cargo, per Express, is arrived in the
Downs. In old Currants there is scarcely anything doing:
nearly the whole of the quantity of new pulled Figs, Sul-
tana Raisins, Sze. offered by public sale on Monday last,
were bought in, but the following arc the prices at which
they are now on delivery, viz.: new Turkey pulled Figs
655. a 70s. ; flat ditto 60s ; new Sultana Raisins 755. ;
new Red Smyrna ditto 565.: and new Carabournas ditto
a 58s. ; also new large Valentia Raisins in boxes and
half boxes a 60s. ; and new Denias in baskets a 425.
The demand for Fruit generally is rather improving, but
the system which is at present adopted, of forcing it off by
public sale, tends to render the buyers more cautious, and
they are fearful of buying more than they have orders for,
lest what they buy one day should be at a discount the next.
COTTOK.-The market to-day remains without much
animation, and during the whole of the week the sales
have not been extensive. A declaration of about 700 bales
of Surat, by the East India Company, is expected to be
announced for the end of the present umnth. The prices
this morning are, Bengal ;n bond from 4(1. to Surat,
good, from 4d. to lid. Pernambuco, good fair, S. The
export of Cotton goods has for the last month or six
weeks been extremely great to nearly all parts of the world.
The advises from some of the manufacturing districts are
however less favourable than latterly.
SPICES meet with an increased demand, and during the
week a good deal of business has been done in Nutmegs,
Mace, and Cloves ; but more particularly in the first men-
tioned, at an advance of from 2d. to 3d. per lb.
.Pepper
Rum.—The notice given from the Victualling
d redthe

ninctted submitted to. s'
may be quoted at 2s. sd. The total quantity imported this
year, is less than that in the last year, amounting to
54,144 puncheons.
SALTPETRE continues in demand at a shade above the
former price, viz. at 25 per cwt.
ie
SILKS.—The demand for raw silks has been rather flat
since the conclusion of the East India sale, not the effect
of any falling off in the manufactures, but the indisposition
felt by the trade to give the high prices asked by the
holders. The stock of East India Silks in the warehouse
is comparatively small, and without further considerable
arrivals before the next sale, will be inadequate to the
probable demand. The coarser sorts of silks are much
sought after. The imports from France in the last week,
both of thrown and raw, have been considerable.

INDIGO meets with a ready sale for vportation, and the
advance noticed in cur last is fully maintained.
Oms.—The market latterly has been in a very drooping
state, and sales have been forced to some extent of Whale
Oils, but Seed Oil is steady. The speculators for a rise in
the former have lost large sums, as they purchased largely
on the prospect of a bad fishing season.
Although the deliveries of Hemp have been considerable
of late, the demand continues extremely brisk, at 381. per
ton. Bristles are rather heavy, but at no material reduc-
tion in price.

!iave exerted themselves to prevent processions on the ap-
proaching 4th of November.—Dublin Evenins v,PoBt.

LEEDS CATTLE FAIR.—As we were the
first to suggest the late change of the day for holding this
fair, from that originally appointed to the one now adopted,
we feel particular gratification iu finding that the alteration
has, hitherto, been attended with the hest success. Incon-
sequence of the great number of sheep brought for sale yes-
terday week, additional pens hare become necessary, and
measures are taking to have the free market paved and ren-
dered in every respect comfortable to those who attend it,
as well as suitable for the purposes to which it is assigned.
We fear, however, that we should be only misleading our
readers if we taught them to expect that the state of the
Leeds Fortnight Cattle Fair, at this season, presents a fair
average for the whole year.—The principal supply is now
afforded, we understand, from the west country, and con-
sists of sheep and beasts fed on pastures, which till the
corresponding season to the present next year, will be able
to furnish very few of either fit for the butcher. But still
we have every confidence that if it prove a ready and profit-
able market, in the first instance, from whatever acciden-
tal circumstance, the interest of graziers and cattle-dealers
will not fail to keep up a supply afterwards.—Leeds In-
telligencer,

The St. Katharine Dock Company have put
forth a notice, contradicting the exaggerated accounts of
the damage done to the works by the late irruption of the
water of the River into the excavation. No damage is said
to have been done to the coffer-dam or buildings, and the
only inconvenience to be apprehended 'is from the delay of
some works in the engineer's department.
HARROGATE.—It is not, perhaps, generally
known to the Sporting World, that Harrogate forms one
of the best situations for hunting in. the kingdom: it lays
in the centre of five packs of hounds—namely, the Mar-
quis of CLEVELAND'S fox-bounds, the Earl of HAsa•
woon's, the York and Ainsty, the York City harriers, and
the idoreughbridge hounds.—Leeds Intelligences.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Press of matter has hitherto precluded us
.om referring to the Wateilbrd Chronicle of

Le 23d ult., which records another of those de-

plorable instances in which the working of the
Established Church of Ireland, and of the tithe

fund which supports it, upon a half-barbarous
population of Catholics, has been rendered, by
arts familiar to the itinerant orators and dema-
gogues of that country, an instrument for inflam-
ing, against the Church and State, the angry
passions of the multitude. A clergyman of the
name of Morgan had—if we trust any, statement
made on such authority as that of Mr. Shiel;
and of Mr. Shiel employed as counsel—,-obtained
from the Ecclesiastical Court of the diotess

Ferns, monitions against certain of his pa:,
rishioners for arrears of tithe ; and founded on
these proceedings, in the Diocesan Court, a num-
ber of actions by civil bill at the Sessions. -Vist
defence was,. or ought to have been, that the
tithes had been actually paid, and that Morgan's
demand was iniquitous. Evidence of this fact
was offered by Mr. Shiel, but the Chairman of
the Sessions refused to hear it, on the ground
that they had no jurisdiction over a case already
decided by the Ecclesiastical tribunal—the Act
of Parliament having made " the monition con-
clusive evidence of the sum due." The pa-
rishioners, therefore, were left without relief—
taking for granted that their counsel's allegations
were well-founded, which there seems, neverthe-

less, considerable reason to doubt. This is a
short description of the case, so far as law and fact
are concerned : but the characteristic of the whole
proceeding which strikes a dispassionate reader a%
most worthy of attention from the Government.

is the unfortunate relation into which the Protes-
tant Church is thrown towards the people
of Ireland, not merely by the nature of the
funds which it subsists upon, but by the suspi-
cious constitution of those tribunals where the
conflicting claims of parson and parishioner are
tried—where one clergyman_sits, in the last it,
sort, upon tithe questions, in which, anutetti,
enutandis, he himself may be looked upon as a
party, and where a pregnant occasion is afforded
to the aggravators of wrong and incendiaries of
faction throughout the country, to work up every
dispute between man and man into an engine of
political and religious animosity. Shiers speed:
for the defence, in this case of Morgan, was a
continued appeal to the fury of the peasantry
against the whole body of the Established
Church. But it is not so much for the particu-
lar example that we think it worth while to notice
this man's turbulence, as because of its illus-
trating the mischief which must always result
from political relations like tbose now subsisting
between Protestant and Catholic in every county
of Ireland. So obvious, and of such a plasti:
nature, are the elements of popular excitement
throughout the southern counties, that it is
hardly possible for an ingenious babbler to re-
frain from sticking; them on every question that
arises, whether .of interest or even of opinion
between man and man ; and where the difference
can be traced to any, no matter what, enforce-
ment, or transgression, or construction of the
statute-book, to incorporate some public griev-
ance with the subject, and work up both into
matter of disaffection. This unnatural posture
of the Irish nation does not seem susceptible of
any useful change, until the great question of equa-
lity as to civil rights between the now hostile
parties shall have been carried. If Ireland be
kept in a constant - ferment, and England in a
state of unrelaxed suspicion and anxiety, it is

that the Catholic gentleman, the priest, and the
peasant, are leagued together by a single wrong,
to forget their mutual and pre-existing jealousies,
and to shake off a common oppression. Give
the Catholic landed proprietor that Constitutional
eminence which is the general badge of property
in this kingdom, his new sympathies will be
those of a proprietor, not of a Papist: He will
cease to court the mob, or to 'excite them, for
he can have no end to gain by it. He may be
a party man, liberal, or Tory, Ministerialist, or
opponent of the Minister, but he will be all or
any of this under the influence of precisely the
same order of opinions, tastes, caprices, or other
motives, as would actuate a Protestant landlord,
lawyer, or merchant. The Catholics hitherto
have been like so much bonded corn, of much
intrinsic value, but prohibited at home. The
public interest requires that the lock should be.
removed, and the sound and wholesome article
thrown into consumption. Take off the brand
which now sears the Catholic and disgraces him,
and five .years hence his creed will be discover-
thatwhole
discover-
able only by his going to mass. If emancipation
dLik crushe a thunderboltbu in-
deed operates as an hardship any where, it will be on
thelriitshwidlleifnaallgoupguoe: an.
sy
and blustering race. Where then will O'Connell
find an audience ? Whom will he seek to
make his instruments, and for what ? What
national purpose can then offer itself to the
fancy of Mr. Shiel, as worth the crime of
positive falsehood in his representation of a
fact officially recorded, or as a sufficient coun-
terpoise to the meanness of excusing himself
when detected, by the plea of "a rhetorical
figure ?" What becomes of the Association ?
—of the rent ?—of the transitory worship, which
for a temporal good is now professed by the
Irish agitators to the Priesthood ? All vanishes
within one short hour from the passi • •
ng of the
Catholic Bill. The Priests of
that communion
we have seen abundant reason to
distrust ; but
strip them of the laity, make the laity ours, not
theirs, and where is the formidable hierarchy to
any mischievous object ? Grant the Priests, as
moral teachers, a decent maintenance' from the
State : and, better than to neutralize their:powers
of evil, we render them the aciiva dissermualois
of peaceful and loyal feeling- It is not long
since a question arose in Belgium, between the
See of Rome and the Protestant Government of
the House of Orange. In Belgium the Catholic
Church is by law established; but, by the same
law, the Catholic laity legislate in common with
Dutch Protestants for the whole nation. The
Court of Rome was, no doubt, desirous to force
a measure which could give the Jesuits a footing
in the Netherlands. The King, being equally
wise and pious, resisted the Church, and defeat-
ed the Jesuitical project, What part, then,
have the Catholic laity taken in this dissension
between the Protestant House of Orange and the
Church of Rome ? Have they associated, and
disclaimed, and threatened, and stirred
up disaf-
fection like the Irish Catholic? No, but the
reverse of any such proceedings. They value
their own dignity and freedom too well to be
tools of an ambitious priesthood. They have
supported vigorously the spirit of the Ad-
ministration ; and, one and all, they bless
King their Protestant •
g for tins, the most
popular act of his liberal and enlightened
Government. So much for the difference
of character between Catholics emancipated and
enslaved. One word more : it has never ceased
to strike us with wonder, that in a state like
