1 more bu

ness during the past week, and prices generally
have shown a tendency towards improvement.
London and North-Westerns, though quoted some-
what higher than they have been, are still the
heaviest stock in the market. Dovers are very good,
and close this evening at the best of the week, with
the market firm throughout. We anriex this day's
quotations :—Aberdeens, 134; Birkenhead L. and
C., 61 id 11-16 d; late Chester and Birkenhead, 211

-The improvement in the demand
onial produce continues ; and our Markets
generally have an upward tendency. The expec-
tations which we expressed three weeks ago, that
we had seen the lowest range of prices, and that we
were approaching an active business, have been ful-
filled to the letter so far; but it is proper to guard
against undue speculative operations, by offering a
few suggestions as to the causes which may be
affecting the market, other than the abundance of
Money, and the low rate of interest. Freights
have advanced in the Ea ern Markets, the Vessels
expected to have arrive here from Australia not
having been able to p ure seamen for the voyage;
and a portion of our orneward-hound fleet from
the East, and West as well, have had contrary
winds, and are kept out at sea. To-DAY.-The
Markets for the leading articles continue steady.
A moderate business is going forward, and prices
generally well sustained. The sales of Sugar, since
the publication of the " Brokers' Circular," are
about - hhds. British plantation, including 240
Barbadoes, at 325. to 375. 6d., up to 425. for
Grainey; 70 hhds. Jamaica, 31s. 6d. to 335. 6d.;
200 hhds. Antigua, 31s. 6d. to 345. 6d. ; 30 hhds.
Grainey Demerara, at 335. to 335. 6d.; of East
India, 3150 bags Dates are reported at 295. to 345.;
450 bags Madras at 275. to 275. 6d.; 1000 bags
Benares at 375. 6d. ; 260 bags Grainey Bengal at
375. 6d. to 38s. 6d. ; and 4000 bags brown Per-
nams at 15s. 9d. to 16s. per cwt. There are not
any sales to notice in RUM or MOLASSES. The
Public Sales of Jamaica COFFEE, on Friday, went off
with a fair spirit ; 35 tierces realising 445. for
ordinary, up to 965. for fine Middling. TEA is in
good request; several large contracts have been
made for ordinary to good ordinary Congou, at Bid
per lb. on speculation. A better spirit also
exists as to the other sorts, at late rates.
To-day business ruled very stiff, and there was
very common Congou offering at Bd. per lb. The
transactions in RICE comprise 2,100 bags Bengal at
12s. to 12s. lid., and 900 bags low Madras at Bs.
No sales of SALTPETRE reported. On
_ 50 bales JUTE were offered at auction ; 400
were sold at £l3 15s. to £l4 per ton, being previous
rates. Large sales are being made in SAGO FLOUR ;
2,100 bags realised 15s. 3d. to 16s. per cwt. We
also notice sales of 3 tons red GUM COPAL at
ss. 11d. ; 100 bags ORCHELLA WEED at 365. ;
100 chests SHELL LAC, at 435. ; and 20 tons St.
Domingo LOGWOOD, at £4 ss. per ton. _

COTTON.—We had an active market last week,
the sales amounting to 81,750 bales, of which Spe-
culators took 31,190 bales, Exporters 5,060, and
the Trade 45,500. Prices remain unaltered. To-
DAY the market has been but slightly influenced
by the Niagara's advices, although the trade has
had a hardening tendency ; and we close with a
firm feeling and the prospect of an advance in price.
Friday's sales were 7,000 bales, Saturday 6,000, and
to-day 8,000 bales changed hands. Speculators
took during the three days 4,000 bales, and Ex-
porters 500. The import since Thursday is 15,000
the races under the bales.

WooL.—There has been a brisk demand for
WooL during the past week, and several large
lots of Russia Douskey have changed hands at 81d.
per lb. Irish WETHERS have been much sought
after, and some large sales have been effected at

" Bishetowe, 4th October, 1852.
" DEAR SlR,—When I anowledged the receipt from
you of the West of EnglanConservative of last week,
containing a copy of your :`..se," appended to the report

-.-- •
of the recent inquiry, I told )u that I had been nnable
to give to it more than a curry reading—on which read-
ing r added that 1 was pleasewith it. I have now read
it again, and with more atteron.

" On this second reading, hile I do not withdraw my
approbation of it la general, and one passage, on which
I think it necesdry to remarl It occurs in the second
paragraph of the second colua in the last page, where
you deal with " Mr. Nantes'sbjection to your assertion,
that the Church of Englan does not discourage the
general habit of confession."
" You say, ' It is surely t him to show that the
Church of England does discoage this practice by some
authoritative statement in soa of her anthorised docu-

ments.'

" This would, doubtless, ail you in answer to the
charge, if it were made a parbf a criminal proceeding
against you. But in discussinit on the broad grounds
of propriety, the answer seems) me by no means satis-
Our church, as far II can recollect, nowhere
says anything expressly, which cognises such a practice,
whether to encourage or discouge it. But, on the other
band, in the exhortation to t used in giving warning
of communion, it assumes that ersons in general may be
expected to satisfy themselves c the sincerity and fulness
of their repentance, by " examing their lives and con-
versation by the rule of God's onmandments'—and it is
only if there be any who annot, by this means,
quiet his own conscience here, but requireth further
counsel and advice,' that the clrch recommends special
confession to a priest. In sho, the church earnestly
impresses on the party the duty' doing all that he can
himself in the way of self-exaination, self-judgment,
self-correction, in order to attaiunto ' repentance not to
be repented of—and it is only len he has himself done
all he can towards quieting his wn conscience in vain,
that he is instructed to have recirse to private confes-
sion and private absolution. Inny opinion, that is, vir-
tually, to discourage the generahabit ; for, such general
habit would seem to show, eithethat the party adopting
it did never honestly and earnely strive to do all that
he can for himself—or that, havg once received private
absolution, be is so unstable, so ight-minded, so utterly
incapable of all self-control, tha after such absolution,
he is continually relapsing,,into s—and sin of such ma-
lignity, that he cannot of himse*.attain (by the ordinary
grace of God) to due repentance. Surely we must believe
that such cases, if there be any sch, are very rare.

" I say' therefore, now, as I h:e more than once pub-
licly said before, as well as prively told my candidates
for holy orders, that the Church)f England appears to
me to ' discourage confession as general habit.'

" You state ('-t the end of vounext paragraph but one)
—' I have invited our people t have recourse to this
ministration of our Lord's most erciful authority, when-
ever the spiritual necessities of ay of them shall need it,
in accordance with the advice corained in your lordship's
pastoral letter of last year.'
" When you thus reterred, verporrectly, to my advice,
as your authority in one particukr, I must express my
regret that you did not, at the ame time, give equal
weight to the authority of that sake pastoral letter, in the
very passage from which you werquoting, where it con-
demned the habit of going to cofession as a part of the
ordinary discipline of a Christianife.' I even stated, in
the same place, ' that I had warred a clergyman, who had
himself incited a party to have reourse to confession be-
fore him, not being within either-A the two cases, where
it is prescribed in the Book of Comma Prayer.' I had,
I say, warned this clergyman tcabstain from a course
which seems ill-accordant with th teaching and mind of
our Church.' In conclusion, I thre said, Let me add,
that 1 presume not to interfere wits the conscience of any
who (to use the words of our fiat reformed Liturgy)
think needful, or convenient, for the quieting of their
consciences, particularly to open their sins to the priest
at any time. What I deprecate is, that this should be
made a regular observance—still more, that any priest
should advise it as such.'

" If you have kept within the plain meaning of tlis my
counsel, you have a right to claim the authority of your
Bishop for what you have done—if you have exceeced it,
you have not only exceeded, but have run counter to it.
" I shall send a copy of this letter to Mr. Nantes, ;living
to him, as I give to you, full permission to use it a any
way which he may think fit.—l am, Rev. Sir, yours
sincerely, " H. EXEIEF.
" Rev. G. R. Prynne."

ENEMIES OF MEN OF GENUIS.-At every court titre
are men of rank and influence devoid of all taste. Trey
are the natural enemies of men of genius ; genius wlich
they hate and abhor. They well know that men of galls
can never become courtiers, nor bend to titled mourte-
banks, carrying gold or silver sticks, walking backwa-ds
like apes and jugglers before one of their trail felliw-
creatures ; hence men of genius are hated by all such per-
sons; oppressed, crushed down, and, if possible, destrogd,
or treated with sovereign contempt, neglect, or slime,
which amounts precisely to the same in the grand strugle
of life.—Dr, Knox's. Great Artists and Great Anatomists.
