There had been a moderate demand for sugar, at some-
what lower prices than previously quoted. The shipments
this season bad been 47,507 tons, against 54,200 tons for
same period last season.—Cotton was in good request, the
arrivals from the interior being limited, and scarcely suffi-
cient to meet the demand, in consequence of which prices
were well maintained.—in hides there had been but few
sales, in consequence of higher prices being demanded.—
There was a good demand for English coal.—There had
been few arrivals of manufactured goods : the stock in
importers' hands was estimated at 4800 packages.

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—SERMONS AT ST.
SIMON'S.-Our readers will see, by an advertisement in
another column, that the claims of this society will be ad-
vocated, on Sunday next, by the Rev. R. B. Artily, at St.
Simon's Church. Its claims on the country are very
great. Since the formation of the society in 1836, 886
grants for additional clergymen and lav assistants have
been made for large and widely-extended parishes. In
rather more than 16 years the grants of the society have
led to the erection, opening, or keeping open of 150
churches or chapels ; and 158 school-rooms are now used,
under the license of the several bishops, as_places of public

worship. Grants are at present made to 343 incumbents
(having under their ministerial charge 2,594,622 souls.
one-eighth part of the entire population of England and
Wales,) whose average incomes are £2lO per annum ; and
176 of these incumbents are without parsonage-houses ;
stipends are provided for 317 additional clergymen and
115 lay assistants, and the amount for which the society
is pledged is near £38,333.

INDOLENCE OF THE ROMANS.—The Roman nobility
hunt not, shoot not, read not, write not, think not.
What then do they do? Why—

round of life,

-- through the dull unvark.
They keep the joyless tenor of their way.
Sunk in indolence, they perhaps dawdle through the fore-
noon with their dams, like duteous cavalieri serventi,
and in the afternoon, daily do these unfortunates mean-
der up and down the Corso in their carriages, for two
mortal hours, just before dark, when the evening is set-
ting in cold and gloomy. There is some sense in this in
summer, but none, that I can discover, in the dead of
winter. I have often seen young Italian noblemen per-
forming this dowager-like airing, shut up alone in a
coach. On festal, not only all the nobles who have car-
riages, but all the bourgeois who can hire them for the
occasion, drive up and down the Corso, at this fashion-
able hour, dressed, of course, as fine as they can make
themselves ; for the sole diversion must consist in seeing
and in being seen,—in furtherance of which laudable end
they generally appear in open carriages, in defiance of the
cold winter tramontana, and wear their heads and necks
uncovered. Often when I have been shivering in my
furs, I haye seen the Roman belles at nightfall sitting
motionless in open carriages, exposed to the cutting blast,
in this open drawing-room costume. A drawing-room
costume, however, here it is not ; for, in the evening con-
verzatione, a large bonnet is the usual head-dress, and it
often appears with an exposed neck. In general, indeed,
it is only in the grand academie of music or dancing,
which are equivalent to our private balls and concerts,
that the style of evening dress to which we are habitually
used in England is seen. But these grand entertainments
are rare, and even the humbler converzatione is far from
common ; so that in a town where there is no theatre or
place of public amusement, except during the carnival,
and where dinner and supper parties are unknown, nothing
can be conceived more unsocial, or more gloomily domes-
tic, than the habits of the nobility of Rome.—Rome in the
