A Grand Dinner was given on 'nat.:day last, at
Lyndhurst, to Mr. Ssuaoas 800 1311, on his sueceedinrthe lateDule
of Yost in the Wassiewship of the New Forest.

It gives us much and sincere pleasure to witness the
prevalence of those sentiments of respect and veneration
for the memory of the late PRIMER, to which we have
been anxious to give locality and a name, by the erec-
tion of a monument, worthy at once of him that is gone
and of those that remain. A Meeting was held at
Birmingham on the sth instant, with the view of co-
operating with the Noblemen and Gentlemen who, its
London, have done themselves so much honour in
coming foward to patronize the plan. That this ex;
ample, which is every way worthy of the intelligence
and wealth of that great and flourishing town, will be
generally followed, we have no manner of doubt.—
There can, indeed, be but one opinion on the subject,
unless with those who would seek to deny the highest
posthumous honours to the first orator, the first poet;
the first 'statesman, and the most flushed Gentleman
of our •timea.
Captain Lewis Davits, of the Rose corvette—who
is so honourably mentioned by Admiral.oz Ricinr for
his important services in engaging and•silencing twp
Turldkh corvettes in the late action at Navarin, anii.
thereby relieving the French frigate Armide from, the
dangerous situation in which she was placed by being
exposed to the fire at once of no less than five of the
enemy's ships—is a brother of Lieutenant Colonel
Davies, of the East India Company's service, whose me-
lancholy death we had occasion to record a few weeks
back. It will be remembered that Lieutenant Colonel
Davies (known throughout all India by the ap-
pellation of Tiger Davies, from his frequent daring en-
counters with tnat animal) was assasinved in May last at
Morn;nabad, by a party of the Nizams Si Regiment of
Native Horse, while endeavouring to quell, by remon-
strance, a spirit of insubordination which they had
manifested. His death, however, was avenged by the
lit and the remainder of the 3d Regiment of Native
Horse, who instantly charged the mutineers and put
them to the sword. Lieutenant Caonel DAVIU was
idolized by the native troops, and that circumstance,
combined with the fearless Eastrepidity of his character,
induced him to trust himself unattended among the
deluded men at their moment of greatest excitation—
a co .fidence which was attended loy SO unfortunate a
result.

In proof of the efficacy of an Act of the last Session,
to extend the sum to 201. upon which all arrests oa mesne
process were in future to be made, the decrease in the
number of persons sent io the Fleet Prison haskwen con-
siderable. During the first week of Michaelmas Term
preceding the passing of the above Bill, the number of
renders to the Fleet amounted to 111: while in the
first week of the present Term, it was reduced to 57
a difference of nearly a moiety in the whole owasber of

INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.
The Markets far Colonial Produce have not exhibited that de-
gree of which the warlike &sprit of our fordo relations
would appear to warrant; and either the deliveries from the Wale-
nooses of West India Sugar have been so very cellist, cote this
day week, the prices have not recovered materially from the heavi-
ness to which they were subjected in the afternoon of Friday last.
The stock of British Plantation Sugar has not been much keened
since last mat het day,and N about 15,600 casks lees than at this period
last year. But little is doing this morning. Good Brown Jamaica
is quoted from di.. to 675. per eel. middling Barbadoce from us
to 6111 w per cwt. The stock of Senegal Sugar is on the increase';
East India is much neglected. There will be a sale at the India
House on th: 28th instant oT 5,448 bags. For•lteased Sugars the
demand is steady, and the former prices.

Cortes continues heavy in Gibe absence of any bargains of coo-
.
sequence.

The Sew( Meltzer is steady, but no large purchases have been
erected since the last India Sale. As a war would tend to increase
the present prices very considetably, the holders appear disposed to
await the arrival of information from Constantinople. Orders have
hems received Nom the Continent for large purchases, in the nest
of the breaking out of hostilities. Sbould speculation be revlveal in
Spices, there can be nil doubt that an advance of from 50 to 100 per
cent. would soon be realised.

In Satterraa we have not heard of any bargains above 95a. 6J.
within the la‘t two dam the rumours relative to the affairs of
Grace and Turkey not having had so much effect on the market a
Wasexpected. Should war be commenced, an advance of 100 per
pot. may he safely calculated upon.
Inicau.uw simulation is extremely languid, but the demand for
don continues steady, and this, added to the provretelciae
wing setting In of the frost at St. Petersburgis, has rendered prices
Vl:from 7.75. 6ii. to 373.9 d. per cwt. .:he imports in the week
g last night hava.beeri.s3st cwt. and the deliveriesl7. 'cwt
nay is firm at the late advance, and the deliveries, itaveeiieeded
fioloo cwt. since this day week. Bristles remain at the Same prices
M last week.

SILL— The demand for Turkey Silk is brisk, Mere being a pro-
bahility of the supplies being impeded. The advance Is stated at
from is. to Is 6d. per lb. Italian, however, does net participate in
the improvement.

. Hoes.—The briskness noticed in the Hop Trade last week has
noc continued. The declaration of the duty is looked for with
greet anxiety : in sonse quarters it is muted as high u 144,0001. but
the Mere general opinion is that it will not exceed 140,000 f Kent
bags are quoted 86s. to too's. Sussex do. from The. to Ms. per cwt.
Tom are sales going on at the India House this morning of
Hemp, Klephante Teeth, China Ware, Mother-of-Pearl, Eke. The
Company have declared fur sale on the 2U January 1,054 cheats
of Indigo. .

The puke of WaLt.tuorost is expected to visit [the
Marquis of Crilaroaox. at Wotton, the middle of nest-
month. On this occasion it Is the intention of Gentlemen
in the neighbourhood of Buckingham to invite his Grace'
to partake of a cold collation in the town, and so present
to him an address, expressive of the respect they cetera
tain of his Grace's high character and splendid military
achievements. The Aylesbury troop of Bucks Yeo-
manry Cavalry have received directions to get their
accoutrements in order, in expectation that-they may
be requited to escort his Grace.—Bucks Chronick.
THE,LATI MARQUeSS OP HERTPORD.—The inscrip-
tion on the ns-..nutesent of the late Lord HERTFORD,
executed by CHASTEST, is now introduced, and' runs
thus : " To the memory of her justly and deeply
lamented husband, Francis Ingram Seymour Conway,'
Marquess and Part of Hertford, Earl of Yarmouth,
Viscount Beauchamp, Baron Conway, of Bagley and
of Killaltagb, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the
Garter, and Lord Lieutenant of the county of War-
wick; Isabela Anne Ingram, Marchioness of Hem,
ford, has dedicated this monument. He was bornitulo
174, and died February, 1822.* .
Mr. HISIBERT B.GRA sr, of his Majesty's ship Genoa.
and Mr. FREDERICK GRAY, of his Majesty's,-.ship'
Albion, Midshipmen, both of whom are reported
severely woupded in the late brilliant battle of Nava-
rin, are the elder sons of the late Lieutenant T.GRAY,
who diet in 1825, while Ist of his Majesty's ship
Bulwark, and within a few days of that ship's being
paid off. This respected and unfortunate officer left
a widow and ten orphans, who ate living in the neigh-
bourhood of Oevonport.
" The Turkish ships were moored in the form of a
crescent, with springs on their cables."—Sir E. Codring-
lon's Letter. A spring is a hawser or rope passed out from
a ship's stern, and attached to a cable proceeding from
her bow, u hen she lies at anchor. It is usually put on
for t'se purpo e of bringing the ship's broadside, or bat-
tery of cannon, to bear upon some distant object,
as another ship, or a fortress on the coast, itc. -and
to keep her in a iequired position ; or, in other words,
to prevent her swinging about, according to the action
of wind or current. Hence, if a ship rides with her
heal northerly, and is required to cannonade a fortress
to the south or south-east, a hawser is sun out from the
stern ; and, being carried forward without her side, is
attached to the cable, at a competent distance ahead
of the ship; the hawser is then tightened by the cap-
stan or tackles, and the cable being then slackened, the
ship immediately turns her side towards the object in-
tended-to be ba tet ed.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. George Green went up with
his brother in his balloon, from the boisling-green of
the Eagle Tavern. He remained only 25 minutes ih the
air, and. descended safely in Barnsley Park, between
Islington and Copenhagen House.
r•- Saturday last several butchers (strangelVattended
rtayley Bridge with a large quantity of -,excelleift
mutton, which they offered at 3d. per pound.—This'
created a considerable sensation among The 'rerident
butchers, and they, in their turn, were obliged to study
the rule of reduction. To encourage the strangers to
continue this system, the master-spinners putshased the
whole, amounting to upwards of 60 carcases, and sold
it to their work people at prime cost...--Stockport Ad-
vertiser.

Sunday evening, between tea and' eleven o'clock, as.l
Mr. William Drew, a respectable tradesman, of Chelsea..
Comm 'a, was on his return home from Brompton•rbw,
he was accosted by a soldiei and three other fellows,
who pretended to recognize him as an Old acquaintance.
This was a mere pretence,- for the villains finding the
coast clear, soon hustled Mr. Drew, and extracted from
his fob a valuable watch, with a gold chain and seals,
of the value of 201. with which they ma!e their escape.
Thqrsday last, forty poor old women of St. Asaph
and the neighbou►hood, every one of whom exceeded
70 years of ase, were entertained with an .excellent
dinner, given in the National School, by the Bishop
of St. ASAPH, in honour of his son's (the Rev. J. H.
M. Luxuries, Rector of Marchwiel) marriage with Miss
E. Bouvzate. eldest daughter of the Hon. PHILIP and
Lady Lucy POSEY, at Pusey, in this county. Portions
of meat and money were besides sent to such poor aged
persons as were, from age or infirmity, not •able to at-
tend. Atter the dinner, the children of the School, about
100 girls, sat down, a lively party. at tea, cakes, &c.
Labourers, with their wives arsd families, had a dinner
given them, and in the evening the dcinsestics at the
Palace entertained a very numerous party of friends in
the neighbourhood.—Gloatesfer Journal.
