CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.)
I;catt..—The deliveries of Plantation Sugar last week
Were limited, but still more business, on the whole, was
traasacted than might have been expected. From the

scarcely any thing has been done, and psies's, up to this

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-- Mr. G.
riR24NETT, after an absence of, we believe, four years,
re-appeared.on these boards in the character of the Earl
of Essex, inJONES'S Leavy tragedy of that name. He
Played the part.with spirit and intelligence, but the drama
made no impression—not the finest acting of the finest
actor of any age can now lend it interest. Its day is
gone by.
Mr. FAWCETT, the veteran comedian, at the
end of the present season not only retires from the stage,
but quite London, to reside in the country altogether.
Last week the Marquis of HASTINGS had
a- grand baths at Douningten Park, when his Lordship
and friends killed 300 bead of game, in three hours and a
half; the shooting was excellent, the party consisting of
the following noblemen and gentlemen :—Lords Hater-
tuns and OSSORT ; the Honourable' Atatt.Ev, STANHOFE,
and DUNDAS ; Messrs. CHESLYNS, RICHARD Gomm,
and HOLDEN.—Nottin;hum Journal.
Mr. EDWARD DAVIES, whose case has ex-
cited so much interest pending the inquiry which termi-
nated on Saturchy, it is said, has given instructions to
has solicitor (Mr. Hozeza, jun.) to commence actions
against Dr. BURROWES, Mr. HANLEY, Mr. BYEWATER,
and others.--Morning Herald.
The cold in the night between Sunday and
Monday was very intense. A register FAHRENHEIT
thermometer, in the higher part of the town, indicated 15
degrees, or 17 degrees below freezing.
THE SERPENTINE.—Yesterday the ice par-
tially bore on the south aide; and one of the most adven-
turous akaiters was immersed to the waist, but he extri-
cated himself in time. The surface had improved ; but it
*as only in those parts recently frozen. A few of the
alttiters'wereof a better class thin those who were there
net Sunday: we saw Mr. HERBERT, Captain LLOYD,
Mr. MICELETNWAITE, and M. MARS, among the
figure performers on the North Bank. There were few
carriage., for the day was dreary and intensely cold.
Some of the letters from Calcutta received on
Saturday, state that the greatest confusion prevailed among
the merchants and other trading classes, in consequence of
the extensive forgeries lately discovered. Eighteen lacks
(Montt 1S0,0001.) is said in these letters to be their sup-
puled amount, ,Several Europeans were sufferers, some to
a considerable amount, but none of the agency houses are
of the number. No business had been done at the
Treasury for three days, and dreadful discoveries were ex-
pected in the Moolusil treasuries, and at the other presi-
dencies. A great sensation had been excited at the Bazaar
of Calcutta, but it was not unfavourable to private credit.
Pepir and Bank Stock, however, were at that moment quite
unsaleable. The forgeries had been so skilfully executed
that interest was often paid at the Treasury on false notes.
No individuals were implicated besides the two or three
natives mentioned this morning.
Some curiosity has been excited to-day to
learn in what manner the new Bank measure, fir the relief
of the agricultural interest, has been received in the dis •
tricts wkere branch banks have been formed, and whether
advantage of it has been taken to any extent. Having
made very particular inquiries on the subject, because we
conetived it material in determining the actual degree of
distress existing among the agriculturists, we can venture
to state, on authority of the best description, that the
offers of assistance from the branch banks have hardly in
any ease been needed to. The remark of the managers of
the branck banks to those who sought information from
them was, that they had few or no applications, and that
they -really found no agricultural distress to relieve. What--
, ever was wanted the local banks were perfectly ready and
willing, -as in ordinary times, to furnish. We have rea-
son to believe that the official accounts transmitted to the
parent establishment in London concur nearly in state-
ments tit the effect above described. This fact is of much
imp.rtance 'when it is considered on what favourable
terms the branch banks were authorized to make advances ;
for the Directors in LOndon, in their desire to relieve AO
implirtiiit a inancli of the national industry, bad deviated-
from their usual practice, and instructed the

EX-PARTE DAVIES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sitt,--7I find in reading this case, that your Re-
porter has stated " that a young man who joinvi in
the applause was brought before the Coamosvioners
and reprimanded." lam the person alluded to in
your Journal, and I beg most unequivocally to state
that I was not reprimanded, but the conduct of the
Sheriff's officer was disgraceful. I only joined in
the general applause when the verdict was returned,
and which gave entire satisfaction to every person in
the Court; when I was instantly seized by the
officer who stood at my arm, only, as I have before
observed, for joining in the • applause. Your early
insertion and attention to this will be esteemed a
favour by,
Sir, your very obedient servant,
Back-hill, Batton-garden, H. SIMMERS.
