MACKINTOSHES SUPERSEDED.
BERDOE'S VENTILATING WATER-
PROOF FROCK is the only garment, in lieu of the
" Mackintosh," which effectually excludes the rain without
confining perspiration. It is light, warm, and gentlemanly;
has been in extensive use nearly four years, and is described
by those who have adopted it as the most convenient and va-
luable protection from the weather ever invented. A great va-
riety kept ready. Also of the much-approved WATER-
PROOF TROUSER LEGGINGS, for protecting the legs
from the wet and mud, and preserving the Trousers.

LAW AND POLICE.

The Yorkshire rioters had sentence passed on them
last Monday, at York, by Lord Chief Justice Den-
.nan. The prisoners, to the amount of 150, were
variously sentenced to terms of imprisonment with
hard labour for periods of from two to eighteen months.
The trial of the Clifton rioters took place at the
Salford Sessions on Monday. A verdict of guilty
was pronounced against six of the rioters, and the re-
maining 45 were acquitted. The sentences of the
former are under consideration.

Mary Ann Harvey, a young girl, was on Tuesday
charged at Marlborough- street, by the Honourable
Adolphus W. Chichester, Lieutenant in the Grenadier
Guards, with annoying him while on duty that
morning at St. James's Palace. The prisoner was
fined 10s., or seven days' imprisonment.
The case of George Chapman came on for final
examination in the Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday. It
will be remembered the bankrupt was a few years
since lessee of the dairy and farms of Mr. Rhodes, at
Islington, besides other farms in the neighbourhood
of London, to the amount of nearly 1,000 acres. His
debts and liabilities are estimated at about 20,0001.,
and the assets at 5,0001. Proclamation of outlawry
was made against him, on his non-appearance in Court.

already appeared.

SWEDEN, NORWAY, AND
DENMARK.

Our attention has for some time past been attracted
by rumours of certain projects said to be entertained
by secret societies and political agents in the domi-
nions of the King of Denmark, for the purpose of
availing themselves of the first opportunity, such as
the death of the reigning Sovereign, or a political
convulsion in Europe, to effect a material alteration in
the balance of power among the Northern States.
These rumours have recently assumed a greater de-
gree of importance from the official publication of a
circular dispatch which appears to have been framed
more than four years ago by the Swedish Govern-
ment, for the purpose of discountenancing schemes
which certainly tend to the aggrandisement of Swe-
den. The publicity which has now been given to this
paper is at least a sufficient proof that the projects
which were supposed to be afloat in 1837 have not
been abandoned.
COPY OF A CIRCULAR ADDRESSED BY COUNT WETTER-
STEDT TO THE AMBASSADORS OF SWEDEN AND
NORWAY.

" Stockholm, April 14, 1837.
" We have learned that a society of young German
literati has proposed to publish a weekly journal to be
called the Nordisk Ugeschri ft, for the purpose of
inducing the inhabitants of Sweden, Denmark, and
Norway to renew, under the pretext of their common
origin, the ancient Union of Calmar. As a Swedish
journal has emitted the same idea, and hinted that it
had supporters in Sweden, it has appeared useful to
acquaint you with the King's opinion on this subject.
" The principles of the K ing's policy are of no re-
cent date. From 1814 to the present hour they k2,ve
undergone no change. The past is on this ground the
guarantee of the future, for this policy is mainly
based on the respect due to the rights of others
on the condition of reciprocity. This is the key
of our maxims, their basis, and fundamental condi-
tion. The King knows the mancevres and intrigues
which are put into play throughout Europe, in order
to revive former animosities, and thus to bring about
1-political catastrophes, His Majesty has resolved not

GREENWICH.
Yesterday Michael 111Keon, a tall and powerfully-
built man, was charged with violently assaulting two
women, named Mary Ann Cooper and Jane Haines.
The complainant Cooper stated that she went into
the Beehive public-house, Rotherhithe, accompanied
by her husband, on Monday night. Soon afterwards
a dispute arose between some person present and the
prisoner. Upon witness's husband taking part in it
she interfered, when the prisoner seized a quart pot,
and struck her a violent blow on the eye ; he also
struck her on the head, and various parts of the body.
Several other women were also assailed by the pri-
soner with the same dangerous weapon. The com-
plainant's eyes were very black, and her face cut;
she also complained of great pain about the arms and
breast.

The other complainant, Haines, also bore testimony
t ) the savage conduct of the prisoner.
Several witnesses, amongst whom was an old
' woman, who exhibited her arms to the Court, and
which were much bruised, spoke of the attack made
by the prisoner as most unmanly and cruel.
Police constable 169 M deposed to finding a crowd
of 200 persons outside of the Beehive, and upon being
informed of the prisoner's conduct he took him into
custaly.
The prisoner, in his defence, denied striking the
women.
Mr. GRovE said that a more brutal and un-English
attack upon females had never been brought before
him. lie should fine the prisoner in the full amount
of 51., in default of which he was committed for two
months.

sentenoe, he to observe, that-there were other
cases to he triA of a similar nature to that.

The CHAIRMAN 11:ding consulted with his brother
Magistrates, said they would not sentence those con-
victed then, but they would consider what punish-
ment to inflict. The Jury had made a distinction
between some of the cases. Undoubtedly there were
a few against whom the evidence was slight, but in
other cases he did not see the distinction the Jury
had made. However, he did not find fault with the deci-
sion of the Jury; but it was necessary to inform
those who were acquitted, lest they should leave the
Court with a wrong impression, that parties who
were present at any assembly collected for an un-
lawful purpose (and they could not be so ignorant as
not to know that the turning out hands from their
work was illegal) were liable to be punished for
breaking the law.
The case then terminated, at eight o'clock.

SPAIN.

MADRID, DEC. 10.—The Regent's return is fixed,
it is said, for the 15th, and he will not even enter
Barcelona. He is to arrive here without any military
pomp or triumph. It is anticipated that he will pass
•by Valencia and not by Saragossa, in order to avoid
an interview with the Infante Don Francisco de
Paulo, who, it is reported, has received orders to quit
Spain, as well as his Secretary, Count de Parsort.
The Cortes is to be reassembled immediately after
Espartero's arrival. The loan' of 600 millions of reals
will be the first affair, as upon that depends the cotton
question. Some compensation is to be offered to Spain,
it is whispered, for the diminution of the tariff, by
suppressing the tobacco depot at Gibraltar.
Rumours of a Ministerial modification are very
current, and it is asserted in some quarters that the
Cabinet is to be strengthened by thonecession of Senor
Gonzales and Don Facundo Infante, their oratorical
talents being necessary to pass the measures to be pro-
posed in the Legislature.
The Parliamentary coalition seems to be still com-
pact, and resolved to make a decided opposition to the
Ministry on the late events in Barcelona.
It is generally regretted that the Regent should
have been compelled to resort to a bombardment, and
the state of siege subsequently is much blamed, the
more especially as the address of the Deputies of Con-
gress was to require the observance of constitutional
forms in the suppression of the rebellion, instead of
resorting to exceptional measures. A military dic-
tatorship is feared, although Espartero is believed to
be opposed to it, yet his staff entertain the hope of
this kind of supremacy. At the English Legatiot
is openly said that it will be the only means of sW-.'
tion for Spain.
The report of the iuquiry into the ill-treatment of
M. Lefevre, the French merchant, has been submitted

they ought to form the object it a diplomatic note,

(THIS DAY.)

COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—A fair business has been done in British
Plantation, about 400 hhds having been sold at pre-
vious rates, and the market is rather firmer. The

public sales have consisted chiefly of 81 hhds Barba-
does and 568 bags Bengal. The Barbadoes sold at
64s to 68s for good greyish to fine yellow, being
about previous prices, nearly all the Bengal was
taken in (being chiefly of brown quality), at 52s to
55s for good brown to low bright yellow. There
were none landed last week at the East and West In-
dia Docks ; there were taken for home consumption
1,064 hhds, 90 tierces, 30 barrels. The stock in the
same places was 12,368 hhds, 1,612 tierces, 1,385
barrels.

COFFEE.-795 bags Ceylon, 512 bags East India,
and 400 bags Rio were offered by auction. All the
Ceylon was disposed of (with the exception of a few
lots) at 60s for good ord palish quality, which is a
further reduction of ls; the East India taken in at 28s
to 295, for low good to good ord Padang, being rather
above the value ; the Rio found buyers at 32s 6d, and
one lot 33s for good ord even palish, which are pre-
vious rates.

ltum.—The quantity landed last week at the East
and West India Docks was 2 hhds., and there were
taken for home consumption 206 puns 39 hhds, and
exported 94 puns 3 hhds. The stock in the same
places is 14,573 puns 2,621 hhds.
SALTPETRE.--Of 2,726 bags at auction, the greater
part sold at 25s to 26s 6d, and one lot 275, for 9- to
4 per cent refraction, which prices are on a par with
the decline previously noticed.
SPICES.—One hundred and seventy-one chests
Cassia Lignea, and 401 bags Pimento, found buyers,
the former at 765, one lot 76s 6d, for good mid qua-
lity, being again from 2s to 3s lower; the Pimento
brought 20 to 24d for ord to good quality, which
are former rates.

TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is at 48s per cwt on the spot.
TEA.—Public sales are coming on again to-mor•
row, and private business is consequently quite ne-
glected. Prices are heavy, and expected to go lower,

SPAIN.

MADRID, DEC. 11.—The official accountsfrom Bar-
celona, published in the Gazette thislnorning, are of
the 7th instant. The city enjoyed thatliud of tran-
quillity which defeat and necessity produce amongst
a coerced mob—and which decision and energy on
the part of the Government can preserve. Barcelona
indeed can be kept quiet; but the degree of provin-
cialism manifested on this occasion by thel3arcelonese
indicates clearly that this can only be effected by a
combination of judicious and rigorous measures. The
cry of " death to the Castilians," heard pretty gene-
rally in the streets of Barcelona on the 15th and 16th
ultimo, should not be lost on the central Government
of Spain. To leave arms in the hands of the lower
orders of the population of that city would be mad-
ness. Fifteen thousand muskets, we are told, were
accordingly already taken from the insurgents. It
being supposed that there were still out five or six
other thousands, twenty-four hours more were given
for their delivery. The houses shut.up and suspected
of containing arms were also to be opened and searched
in the presence of the Magistrates in their respective
districts. Of course, for some time at least, a national
guard will be dispensed with in Barcelona, and the
garrison be kept by troops of the line alone. Down
to the date of our latest news, no executions had taken
place. Military tribunals, however, had been appointed,
both for the trial of the officers of the army who had
surrendered, and the prisoners made on the surrender
of the place.
That which has been talked of as news here for the
last few days would be better called lies. Reports,
for example,, of a change of Ministry, and the exile
of the Infante, cried about the streets in all shapes
and forms, come properly under this head. The trash
written in all the opposition journals, too, about our
ships having fired upon Barcelona, and having sup-
plied Montjuich with shells for the destruction of the
cotton manufactories in the city, is all false, and de-
signedly inserted to injure the British name and cha-
racter here. These falsehoods, though most mali-
ciously intended, cannot fail to recoil upon the authors
of them, and the parties who pay for their publication.
From the provinces the news confirm& to be most
satisfactory. With a few exceptions, the municipal -
elections will have gone in favour of the Govern-
ment and of public tranquillity. The old majority of
the Congress, or as it is now called the minority, is
actively employed in preparing for a new election, in
the event of that measure becoming necessary.

MARKET NEWS.

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Since our report on this day. se'nnight, as well as
for our market this morning, the arrivals of Wheat of
home growth from Essex, Suffolk, and Kent, have
been on a moderate scale, but of fair average quality.
The stands to-day were rather scantily filled with
samples, while the attendance of both London and
country dealers was not very numerous. For the
finest parcels of both Red and White we had a fair,
but by no means a brisk inquiry, at prices quite equal
to those noted on Monday last; but the middling and
inferior kinds, though not cheaper, hung on hand.
The imports of foreign Wheat have been small. There
was a fair retail business doing in fine qualities, and
late rates were, in most instances, supported.
The supply of barley was again extensive, nearly
12,000 quarters having come to hand. The best
malting sorts supported their value, without much
difficulty ; but grinding and distilling sorts were
very heavy and the terms cheaper. Malt was in fair
arrival, while the ,ale for that article was slow, at late
currencies. From all parts few Oats have been re-
ceived, yet as most of the buyers held off for future
arrivals, the demand was, on the whole; slow, at last
week's figures. In Oats, under lock, scarcely a trans-
action was reported. Beans and Peas were again dull.
Both town and country-made Flour met a dull inquiry.

Lotorioug mining affairs, has been declared a partner in the
large City House of APLeod and Wright, of Bucklersbury,

THE FORMIDABLE.

By a letter from Barcelona, dated December 2, we
have the following particulars of saving the above
fine man-of-war :—At a quarter before eight on the
night of the. 29th, going four knots, the ship struck
the ground heavily (it appears 14 miles to the west-
ward of Barcelona). A boat was immediately dis-
patched to Barcelona for assistance, and at daylight a
French steam-vessel, many boats, and small emit,
came to assist. The stream had geen got out, and
the steamer carried out a bower. During the day,
30th, two other steamers arrived from the westward,
a French and Spanish ; and at five the Rodney,
much to our joy and comfort, arrived. and anchored
a mile from the Formidable, then in four feet less
water than she drew. The Rodney sent two cables
an end, and the Formidable two to meet them, and
both ships hove together. The water was started
and pumped out, all the lower deck guns thrown over-
board, with three of the main, a quantity of shot, and
at a quarter before 12 on the night of the 30th she was
hove oft; haVingbeen 28 hours ashore. The bottom was
a soft clear sand, but being near the breakers, some
heavy rollers occasionally coming in, made the ship
thump heavily. The weather was fortunately very
fine; the rudder went soon after grounding. The
ship was dragged, by main strength, at least half a
mile, judging from the buoy of the rudder and the
first. gun thrown -overboard. The ship's company,
during the whole time worked well, and their conduct
is said to be beyond praise. The ship was towed to Bar-
celona, from which she has proceeded to Port Mahon.
Damage sustained—(From the report of an excellent
diver.)—The false keel is gone in man places, from
ten to twelve feet in one place ; the forefoot gone ; the
rudder gone; main keel damaged in places; two leaks
forward; a small leak in the bread-room; she makes
eight inches water per hour ; between the main and
mizen masts she hung and thumped heavily. The
Cyclops, steam-frigate, had arrived, and had been sent
to try and recover the rudder and guns. The Belvi-
dere arrived at Barcelona on the 2d inst. The writer
adds, " I am firmly of opinion that, if the Rodney had
not arrived as she did, the Formidable might have
been erased from the Nairy List."—Hampshire

SMITHFIELD.
Considering that the great Christmas market was
held here last week, we had a full average number of
beasts on offer this morning, and, taken as a whole,
the quality not only of the Scots, homelands, Here-
fords, Devons, Durhams, and short horns, the four
latter forming the principal portion of the arrivals,
but, also, of that of the other kinds brought forward
was unusually good indeed, we might venture to
observe that we never saw a better collection of stock
on sale at any previous corresponding period of the
year. Notwithstanding the weather was somewhat
unfavourable to slaughtering, the beef trade was
tolerably steady, yet far from brisk, and in most
transactions, last week's quotations were supported.
However, as a general figure, we cannot quote more
than 4s 6d for beef, though a few very superior
Scots, Herefords, and Durhams sold at higher rates
of currency, and a good clearance was effected
by the salesmen previously to the close of business.
As to sheep, these were rather scanty, but of good
average quality—if, indeed, we except that portion of
the supply suffering from the effects of the epidemic.
The demand for them was rather firm, at about the
notations obtained on this day se'nnight—viz., 3s 10d
4s for the best long-woolled and polled sheep; and
4s 4d to 4s 6d per 81bs for the Downs. The latter,
by the way, was the extreme price. The Veal trade
was steady at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond,
late rates. Prime small Porkers sold freely, but in
other kinds of Pigs little was doing. The importa-
tions of live stock from abroad for our markets have
been, as might be expected, on a very limited scale,
the principal receipts being at Hull and Southampton.
At the former port, 30 oxen and cows have been
received from Hamburgh, per the Transit and
Manchester steamers; at the latter, 50 beasts from Spain,
mostly beneath the middle quality. It is now pretty
well ascertained that the foreign arrivals, owing to
most of the principal rivers being blocked up with
ice, will be very small during the next three months.
From our grazing districts we received, to-day, the
following supply of beasts, viz. :-1,200 short horns
and runts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northampstonshire ; 100 Scots and homebreds, with
a few runts, from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire; 400 Herefords, runts, Durhams, and
Devons, from our Western and Midland districts
300 of various kinds, from other parts of England ;
50 horned and polled Scots, by a sailing packet, from
Aberdeen ; and 40, via Livespool, from Dublin ; the
remnant being derived from the neighbourhood of the
metropoliis, while we had only two beasts from Spain.

In consequence of the near approach of Christmas,
the supplies of prime meat on otter In these markets,
since our last report, have been seasonably good, yet,
on account of the mildness of the atmosphere, causing
the butchers to purchase cautiously, the advance in
the currencies has not been more than about 2d per
81b. In other kinds of meat, however, a fair amount
of business has been transacted, at full prices. The
arrivals of slaughtered meat from Scotland, York
shire, and the West of England, have been large, with
a dragging trade.
