Col.Torr.—The holders of Cotton in this market
evinced no disposition to force sales, by submitting to
a further depression in the pt ices, the sales were in
consequence limited last week to 900 packages, viz.
500 lloweds at 19;d a 200, 40 Orleans 21d a 22d,
250 Pernams 2s 8d a 2s sid, 52 Maranhams at 2s
4J, '2O Bahias 2s sd, and 50 Demerara, at 2s 3d.—
The greater proportion of the Pernambuico Cotton
is sold ; the attention of the buyers is, in consequence,
directed chiefly to'Boweds. The India Company
have declared a small sale of Sisrats for the '24th inst.
" Devi:root., NOVENIBER 14.—This week, not-
withstanding the sales of Cotton have been more ex-
tensive, yet we must again make a further reduc-
tion in our quotations ; for although a few sales in
prime Orleans and in Boweds have been effected
at high prices, the inferior and middling qualities of
all kinds have given way, and are in many quarters
pressing on the buyers. The sales since our last con-
sist of 1700 bags of Bowed. ordinary to prime 18'id
a 22d, a few at 220 ; 1500 Orleans, ordinary to
good 19d a 2s, including about 30 bales prime at 2s
Id a 2s 2d ; 150 Sea Island Ordinary to fine 2s fild
a2s ;18 ditto stained, good fair 2s 5d ;25 De-
merara good 2s 5d ; 8 Domingo good 2s Id ; '270
Pernams ordinary to good 2s 7d a 2s 9:1 ; 360 Islo-
r.otham fair to good 2s 2id a 2, ; 120 Bahia fair
to good tair 2s 4id a 2s 5d per lb. amounting all to-
gether to 4.100 bags "
Sudans.—The briskness in the demand for Masco
vadoes, noticed in our last, did not continue ; in the
middle of the week, the anzi.try of the holders to
triect sales was still prevalent, and though the prices
could not be quoted generally lower, yet purchases
might be made a shade' under the former currency ;
the sales were chiefly s.r.,ng Sugars for relining ;
at the same season I..st year there was much briskness
in the demand, though prices were '2O per cent.
higher than at present ; tte• c..us - teas then chiefly
attributed to the large deliveriel, (6 8000 casks
weekly), but there was then a very general export,
the quantity being for several weeks 3 to 4000 casks
for shipping ; there was much speculation, and
15,000 hleds were reported sold during one week ;
the imports of Sugars in both years were very nearly
the same.
The market this forenoon appears apparently'im-
proving, the holders had become alarmed at the
am •tl deliveries from the ware rouse, little exceeding
2500 casks weekly ; this morning the delivery for
last week stated 4400 casks ; this circumstance ad-
ded to there being no more vessels of the late fleet to
discharge, and no snpplies of any consideration till
the spring, hes given much confidence to the holders;
the sales to-day may be estimated between 800 and
900 casks ; brown Jamaica 84s, middling 89s, good
9 is, one board of fine 98s, another very superior rea-
lized 1001. 'The other sales, Grenades, St. Lucks,
and St. Vincents, the prices a shade higher, though
not so decidedly as to make any alteration in the
quoted currency.
In the early part of last week the refined market
was brisk, the request has since given way, and p
chase. r- • wsw made a shade lower ; the market is,
however, sL.llinclifferet.t:; -upplied with goods, owing
to the late t)Lk• ; contracts for
soriitg shipments ctstito:ae on a limited scale. Crushed
SozATS in the lowest time of the market purchased at
76s a 80s, are saw contracted for about the latter
price ; double Loaves 110 s a 115 s; the grocers were
a:io considerable purchasers for the home trade ;
M classes 32s a 32s 6d.
The Refined market yesterday and this forma
is rather heavy; purchases may be made from is a
2s below the prices of last week ; the late mails have
brought few orders, the shipping season being so far
advanced. Molasses 3ls 6d.
In Foreign Sugars little or nn business has been
effected, the holders generally looking for an advance
on-the present currency, and so sanguine of tire im-
provement as generally to decline selling at the pre-
sent prices. At the East India House last week
14,919 bags fine white 73s a 76s 6J, good white 64s
6d a 68s, ordinary and damp white 59661 a 60s 6d,
some uncommonly strong yellow 65s ; the general
price of fine yellow or low white 58s a 60s, damp
57s a 58s, ordinary to good brown Sis 6d a 535, fine
brown Java 54s a 555.
Com.a.—There was only one trivial sale of Coffee
brought forward last week, on account of the lan-
guid demand and the late depressed prices ; it con-
sisted of 248 casks British Plantation Coffee, chiefly
Jam.tica ; 60 lihds. good ordinary Jamaica, 70s a
71s 61; very ordinary, 6+5 6d ; generally it may be
stated that the prices were higher, and more appa-
rent demand than for some time preceding, owing,
no doubt, to the large holders withdrawing their
Coffee from immediate sale, expecting a higher cur-
rency on the approach of the Spring shipments, or
the speculation upon that event.—Delivered from the
warehouses last week 397 casks and 1457 bags Coffee
for exportation. There is no public sale to-day, and
only a trivial one advertised ler the week.
Rum, BRANDY, and I-loLcasns.—The business
done in Ruins since our last may be stated at about
400 puncheons ; ahem 150 puncheons Leewards,
averaging proofs, at 2s 8d a 2s 9d ; a very consider.
able parcel Jam aieas 8 0. P. for money, 3s a 3s Id ;
Pads oder at 4s '2d a •Is 6,l.—The deliveries of Rum
continue extensive ; 863' puncheons for exportation
last week, 321 for home consumption ; the inipertes
continue to ship, on account of the low prices here.
—There is no pale Geneve at market.—There are
considerable arrivals of Brandies; the market is in
consequence heavy, and purchases might be made a
shade lower.
Spices.—The sale of Pepper took place last week,
5,290 bags Company's ; about 1,300 bags sold at
101t1 a I Otd , the remainder, nearly 4,000 bags, taken
in at ICiti, light Sici a 90; 346 bags white, the
ordinary, 12i a I. the better quality, 150 a 1.50.
In Privilege 2.914 bags block, generally ;old a 90 ;
light Si a 81.1.
liosu &c.—The demand for Prime
B-cf continues steady ; the few arrivals of the New
lite continue very interior, both in quality and
-Good Park has been in great request, but the
liar descriptions continue very heavy..—Old Bacon
coutilmes in langnid demand; there are increasing
, enquiries after the New. Thklate extensive arrivals
have for the present supplied the trade with an abun-
dant stock of Butter; the market has been, in con-
sequence, heavy, and some few of the holders are
.h.nating to a small reductive in the curt:ncy.

i RELAND.

Duet*, Nov. 10.-IVioncley se'nnight, the Ma-
gistrates at Clara had a Meeting, atended by Lord
Charleville, General Kemmis, CeunsellorWhiteitone,
Mr. Slator, Mr. Fuller, and others. Some,Resolu-
tions were agreed to, the chief object of which was,
to postpone the Insurrection Act. On that night, as
,if for the coincidence of operation with the Magi-
strates, the Carders had a meeting also, and proceed-
ed upon their system, bat fortunately without success.
It was the fair day of .Clara, and the roads conse-
trendy much crowded by those who had attended
the lair, about seven o'clock in the evening. This
circumstance was considered by the Carders as fa-
vourable t.) their schemes of villainy and depredation,
and a party of them, well equipped, made an attempt
to seize the arms of Anthony Beechman, an active
and loyal yeoman. who, with a few more of his de-
scription, were placed at the outposts of what may
be called a line of defence in the country. Beechman
had left home a very short time before, to join a
party of his corps on night duty, a party which for
some mouths have been unrenuttingli on this very
distressing service, imposed upon them by the rustic
barbarians of their neighbourhood. His wife remain-
ed at home, and omitted to use die precaution of
fastening the door, when three or four armed fellows
rushed in, and demanded arms. The poor woman,
though unprotected, conducted herself with such
spirit, as excited these ruffians to give her several
severe blows ; but during this period, a child, about
seven years old, stole off unperceived, and with much
difficulty, having hedges and ditches to pass, inform-
ed Beechman's party, consisting of four yeomen, of-
what had occurred. They immediately proceeded
towards the house, and on the way met the banditti,
who had leit it, having bronglit off an old bayonet.
The headmost of the yeoman party was attacked by
the ruffians, who seized his musket, but he disengag•
ed himself quickly, and struck one of them a violent
blow with toe but end in the face, who ran off, ex-
claiming ,he was killed. • Another of the party pur-
sued the fellow, and would have made hint a priso.
nor, were it not for the obstruction of a potatoe pit,
into which he fell. Whilst this was going forward,
some shots were exchanged by the other yeomen and
the banditti, who took to flight. closely followed by
this gallant little body, and for the time escaped.—
In about an hour after, however, attracted by the
barking of a dog, the yeomanry examined a field
near the road, and found a man severely wounded in
the thigh, which was shot through in two or three
places. They secured this victim of their intrepidity
and his own crimes, who confessed that be was one
of the ratty that had attacked Beechman's house,
but would make no disclosure of his associates. He
has since cli.:d of his wounds at Clara, to which he
had been removed. His hat, and the bayonet of
which Beechman had been robbed, were found where
he fell. Some suspicion has been expressed that this
marauder was shot by his awn party, either in
mist!::, or in the awkward use of their fire arms.—
:s cecurrence happened within a mile of Clara.
d.a-kiless of the night saved the ruffians from
yarr.:e consequences. The man who has thus forfeit.
h:s by his wickedness, was named Michael
Greenan, and lived near the hill of Knockart, in the
county of Westmeath. Ile was a ringleader of the
Carders.—Since the recurrence of the outrage above
noticed, the Magistrates and Grand Jury, assembled
at a General Sessions of the Peace, at Parsonstown,
in the King's County, have found it necessary to
publish a declaration of their sentiments and opinions
inn the state of that part of the county.
Iron I

Tuesday se'nnight, while Mr. Alexander Reid, who
carried on an extensive dye:work in Glasgow, was
reaching for an article across a vat full of boiling li-
quor, he missed his hold, fell in, and was so dread-
fully scalded that he died the same afternoon.
Thursday, whilst James 'Ferment, engine-keeper at
Shotts Iron Works, was employed in oiling the en.
gine, the skirts of his coat came in contact with the
machine, and introduced him amongst the wheels,
which crushed and tore him in such a shocking man-
ner as cannot be well represented.
A farmer in the neighbourhood of Paisley was
married about eleven months ago to the daughter of
another farmer; the bride, upon occasion of the mar-
riage, got a present of a cow from her father, and
likewise of a fine ewe. The ewe, sometime ago had
two lambs, the cow had two calves, and the lady was
lately delivered of twins.
Mr. WILLIAM GLeN, some time auctioneer, and
latterly dealer in books, was found lying in a close
in Saltmarket-street, Glasgowon Thursday morning,
at two o'clock. He was taken to the Police Office,
where he expired about eight.
Wednesday, Alexander Donaldson, journeyman
slater, fell from the top of a house, three stories high,
now erecting in Sidney-court, Argyll-street, Glasgow,
and was killed on the spot.
Friday, the body of a man named Townley, who
has for several years kept an auction and sale-room
in Edinburgh, was found in a brewery-yard, north
back of Canongate, having apparently fallen from the
high-projecting rock which overhangs the premises.

and nose, vertigo, noise in theears, deafness, dimness
of sight. pains in the head and limbs, frequently mis.

County of Kent.
John Calm, William Brockman, and John Adkins,
were afterwards put to the bar, on suspicion of being

on board the Fix cutter, a few months since. The
two vessels had had a regular engagement, but the
smugglers being more expert in the management of
their vessel and fire-arms than the tevenue officers,
they conquered them, killed four, and wounded seve- '
ral others. The Solicitor informed the Magistrate
