dispensible necessity. We may return to this
subject. At present one thing is clear, that the
enormous pressure of taxation must be re-consi-
dered, especially with respect to those classes of
society—by far the most numerous—who are
least able to bear up against its grievous and
impoverishing tendency.

CITY, Twymr. o' CLOCK.
The following has been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house, dated Liverpool, Nov. 17 :
" Our Cotton Market Las been this day very
The sales amount to 3,800 bags, 1,000 of which have
been t.ken on speculation, at full prices. A considerable
quantity of Brazil has changed hands."
Singapore Papers have also been received at the above
Coeree-house to the 28th of June. _ _ _

(From the Singapore Price Current of June 27.)

In consequence of the deficiency in the circulating me-
limn, and the peculiar mode in which business is con-
ducted in this settlement, scarcely any sales are ever
made in cash ; therefore, it being impossible to give the
cash prices of every article, all sales are effected at two
months, for payment in produce.
EUROPEAN PIECE GOODS.-Large sales have been made,
particularly of long cloths, at our quotations, of the goods
recently imported by the Thomas Parsons.

OPIUM.-Great fluctuations have been experienced
during the week, and in consequence of the principal junks
having sailed, prices have declined. The last sale of
Molwa at Bombay took place on the 30th May. The fol-
lowing is the result:—Highest, 1,815 rupees; lowest,
1,780 ; average, 1,794 93.
THE FUNDS.

Our arrivals this morning are few and not of much im-
portance.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92k t for the pre-
sent account, and 92j, sellers, for January, opened rather
lower, being 92! I for account, and 92! for the next ac-
count ; at present little business is going forward.
The Foreign market is also inactive, Brazil stock is
rather lower.

The accounts from Paris state that a misunderstanding
prevails amongst the French Ministry, owing to a discus-
sion on the choice of the President of the Council ; Polig-
nac was to be appointed ; but M. Bourdonnaye said he
had accepted the portefeuille on condition to fulfill the
above situation, and being disappointed it is said he has
resigned.
Accounts via Madrid state that on the 19th ult. an
earthquake was felt at Grenada.
They state from Glasgow that there appears an indica-
tion of diminished distress among the working population,
and that the rents have been better paid than usually, with
the exception of the bulk of the unfortunate weavers; this
promptitude of payment is ascribed to the public works
being all brisk.
We have an arrival from Rio Janeiro of the 23d Sept.
via Jersey ; the contents of the private letters have not as
yet transpired.

new Bank; their Stock was at 64, and the Exchange on
London 26k. No political news, and all was tranquil in
the above capital.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—A new melo-
drame, under the title of the Brigand, in two acts, was
last night produced at this Theatre. The plot is some-
what intricate, but full of incident, and abounding suffi-
ciently in the improbable to set the wits of an audience on
the stretch. As far as acting went, it was admirably
played in all its parts; nor have we witnessed, for some
time, a more impressive piece of acting than WALLAc K'S
Massaroni. Mr. W. FARREN'S Prince Bianchi, too,
was excellent. The scenery, on the whole, was splendid ;
and the piece announced for repetition to the entire satis-
faction of the audience, which was select and numerous.
BRITISH INSTITUTION, PALL-MALL.—
This noble Gallery was yesterday opened for a private
view, and was frequented by great numbers of con-
' noisseurs and artists. The great objects of attraction were
the copies made from the paintings of the old Masters,
some of which were of first-rate excellence, especially the
portrait of the gentleman by VANDYKE, copied by Mos-
Tort, and the St. John of Aluanto, by E. T, GRZZIi."

IRISH EXCISE AND CUSTOMS.—Notice has
been issued that the Irish Excise Board is to be abolished
on the sth January. The Irish Board of Customs is also
to be abolished.—Dublin 31-wning Registcr.

ELECTION OF THE MARQUIS OF LANS-
DOWNE TO BE LORD RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY.-The
election of the Lean RECTOR for our University took
place this afternoon at 10 o'clock. The candidates were
—the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lord President HOPE, and
Lord MONCRIEF. The state of the votes in the four na-
tions being announced, was as follows :—Glottiana, Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE ; Londoniana, ditto ; Transfor-
than, 'Lord President HOPE ; and Rothsiana, Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE. After the election was de-
clared, the Professor of Divinity, amid the greatest
uproar, which frequently compelled him to sit down,
declared that though extremely unwilling to express any
sentiment disagreeable to the general feeling, yet as a mem-
ber of Comitia, in the present state of the country, he felt
himself bound to enter his solemn protest against the indi-
vidual chosen; Ist, because he Lad no residence in Scot-
land, and was thus disqualified from duly performing the
arduous duties of his office ; 2. His second objection,
of a legal nature, was that, according to the articles of
Union between England and Scotland, every individual
holding office required to be of the Presbyterian religion.
More force would be due to this latter objection, were it
but that three Professors of the Episcopal communion
have been tacitly allowed to take their seats on the bench
from which he spoke, and that the person who has so long
filled the office of Chancellor belongs to the same persua-
sion.— Glasgow Chronicle.
