CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.) Lai
RUSSIAN PRODUCE.-The steam-boat to-day

26th tilt. They state that 96 sail of vessel., had arrife;

the commercial intercourse with Russia would be active.;

Hors.—This market attracts great attention, eseq-
the continued unfavourable nature of the accounts fra_.l.
the plantations. Some letters say the blight is gear;
The advance in the prices on Hops is continuing, an --„e

Holders are indisposed to sell, even at this rise. The ,-

generally on manufactured goods of full ss. per It,
There were numerous buyers in the market from Leaue:
Scotland, and also some foreign agents. The wareheia-
, were generally cleared daily, the manufacturers suiting tea
aupply to the demand. The London trade may be sta.,
as rather better, but Raw Silks are at as low a price "ore
1825 and 1826, and some sorts lower than ever be'''.

The Company's next sale is on the 22d instant: ;

LITERATURE.

THE FAMILY LIBRARY.-AIEMOIRS OF NAPO.

This little work LEON, VoL.
has, we learn, met with an
immense circulation, and it deserves it. Its
mechanical excellencies are great, nor is its lite-
rary department at all inferior. The wood-cuts
are finished in a neat and spirited style, with
much character and vigour about them; the
print is distinct to read and beautiful to look at ;
and the language of the work is, throughout,
apposite, eloquent, and condensed.

QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. 78.
Among the extraordinary changes of the
times--and rarely has there been a time more
Prolific in every species of extraordinary change,
whether as regards politics or literature—may be
humbered the late gradual, noiseless, but charac-
teristic revolutions that have taken place in the
Opinions of this once notoriously Ultra Journal.
'rom being exclusive and Tory, to a degree
bordering on fanaticism, it has become liberal,
temperate, and conciliating ; from being ve-
Mous and sarcastic, it has become kindly and
benevolent ; nothing in fact remains of its for-
mer leaven of uncharitableness, but now and
then a Paper from some veteran, who has grown
old in the service of Gifford, and who is still at-
tauhed to the establishment, more from a recol-
e,cti°4 of the past than any very sanguine hope
et amendment for the future. The great key to
llin public life is a facility of adapting
"e's-self to the prejudices of the day—of floating
easily along the current of popular opinion, look-
111.1g curiously neither to the right nor to the left;
but
a quick-sand here, or a whirlpool there ;
iit't taking the world as it goes, with the
aPpy sang froid of Signor Prococurante, but
Itithout his heartless indifference, or slavish
oand unprincipled sycophancy. The " Quarterly
"lee seems of late to have acted strictly up
~.this principle, it has changed with the changes
114, the day, smoothed away its former dogged
h"Position to existing prejudices, and by so
ing has now made good its old position in
Public arena. Its present contributors are

or two exceptions men well suited to
the times in which they live, men free from the

article in the present number is a long, and we

il°lll they style Bellendenus," as the still
cea.ter Canning styled him in the " Anti-Jacobin."
vollia article, with no slight abundance of twaddle,
Ileh pedantry, and narrowness of thinking, has
'ret in places some sound observations, expressed
,°l.cibly and in appropriate language. Justice is
uteue to the excellent private qualities of the
L(lllHat-
sage, and more than justice to his extensive
It'iutniechanical literary acquirements. But surely
pile public is by this time heartily sick of Dr.

paPhers " The New Colony on Swan River"
4 sensible, and, as it seems to us, an impartial
EBtiMate of the advantages likely to result to
nglishmen from establishing a colony or settle-
, ent on the banks of this, just now, very noto-
rious river. The reviewer describes the site as
ra"larkably salubrious, the pasturage excellent

:e harbours advantageous, and the landscape
c°ft) smiling, and admirably adapted for all agri-
ticaltural purposes. " Letters from the West ;"

to excite a proportionate curiosity. We regret
that our very contracted limits prevent us from
entering further into the subject of this masterly
