HONDURAS.

According to letters received from Honduras, dated 20th of
November, it appears that proclamations to the following effect
have been issued-by Colonel Francis Cockburn, the Commander-
in-chief of that Island :—The Orst orders, that any vessel laden
with wood, the growth of a foreign country, shall be duly re-
gistered at the public offices of that settlement as at the ports of
central America, and that a non-compliance with the terms of
the proclamation will subject the vessel to confiscation. The
second proclamation is against any wood being cut without the
limits of the British settlement, and shipping the same without
making any distinction between it and British wood, thereby
evading the duties imposed on foreign by British act of Parlia-
ment: it fiirther orders that from the date of the proclamation
(November 8) the consigner and captain of every ship clear-
ing from that port, laden with mahogany, shall make oath and
give bond in the office of the secretary of entry and clearance
that the wood shipped on board their several vessels is the
growth and produce of lands actually in the occupation of Bri-
tish subjects, and cut within the limits of the settlement. In-
structions will be given to clear out foreign wood from this
settlement, on the real growth and character of the said wood 1
being stated in the manifest of the cargo.

RUSSIA.

The German mail of Monday morning brought an indignant
article, dated St. Petersburgh, Dec. 27, contradicting, in the
most positive language, the charges brought against the Rus-
sian government by the Journal du Commerce of the 22d of Nov.
It denies the transporting► of the inhabitants of IV ilna and adja-
cent provinces to. the Ukraine—the sending of 40,000 Polish
possessors of land to the Caucasus—the desecration of the ca-
thedral of Wilna—the wanton destruction of monasteries ; ad-
mitting that, in compliance with a canon prescribing that mo-
nastic bodies must be composed, at least, of eight persons, seve-
ral monasteries containing but two or three monks have been
legally dissolved, with due attention to their interests, pecuniary
and religious ; and, in general, contradicting all the accusa-
tions tending to foster the charge of tyranny against the Rus-
sian government.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

At a meetinf, of the proprietors of the Bank of New South
Wales, held on Saturday last, a dividend of 94 per cent. was
declared for the half-year ended the 30th of June last; 8 per

be added to the Accumulation Fund.—Sydney Herald, July 23.
A gentleman of capital is about to leave Launceston, by the
first ship for England, with the view of purchasing a steam
vessel to ply from that port to Hobart Town. It is believed that
in the first instance he will proceed direct to Greenock, in Scot-
land, where steam boats were first introduced into Britain, and
where they are still built in a superior manner. He will pur-
chase one qualified to make a voyage from the mother country
in the first instance, to Van Dieman's Land, either by wind or
steam, and will probably load her with goods and passengers.--

learn, by letters from the Islands, that war has taken
place between Tahaa and Raiatea. A sanguinary engagement
ensued, in which 50 men were killed. The war was still raging
when the Zebra left Otaheite, and the Missionaries were alarmed
for the consequences, as it was feared their influence was on the
decline. We much regret this, as every well wisher of these
Islandi must do ; the Alissionary influence, in the absence of
direct agency from Britain, being the only means of diffusing
civilization amongst their inhabitants. 'Phis war is the first
which has occurred since the change of religion of Otaheite-and
the adjacent Islands ; and from the ferocity with which it is con-
ducted, it proves that the warlike and barbarous practices of
these ingenious people are unsubdued.—Sydney Herald, July 23.

THE CORN TRADE.

Thursday Evening, 17th January, 1833.

There was a fair attendance of the town trade, but few country
dealers at Tuesday's market, which went off without animation. Fine
lied Wheats, which are comparatively scarce, found buyers at full
prices ; but for other kinds the enquiry was limited, arid white samples
in a great measure neglected. Oats were very heavy, and could have
been bought rather cheaper than last week. Barley gave way ld. to
zd. and Flour and Oatmeal barely supported our former quotations.
In other articles few sales were made, and prices steady.
Since Tuesday there have been very few arrivals, and hardly any
business done, but holders not pressing sales at any reduction in
prices. The Wheat, Oats, Barley, Indian Corn, Oatmeal, and Flour,
free and in bond destroyed by the fire on the 14th and 15th instant.
are estimated at a quantity equal to 10,000 Quarters of Grain, but the
particulars have not yet been accurately ascertained. The whole is
reported to have been insured.

MADAGASCAR.

His Majesty's ship Isis lately visited the Island of Johanna,
lying off the east coast-of Africa, and found it had recently been
pillaged by a Madagascar chieftain, named Rhamanica, a fol-
lower of old King Ithadama, on whose death he thought proper
to retire from court to prevent decapitation, a favour bestowed
on the relatives and friends of a deceased monarcha. by the suc-
cessor. He was at first received at Johanna as friend, and
had a quantity cf ground allotted him, which he partly cultivated ;
but the life of a brigand appearing to have been more conge
nial to his feelings, he obtained a dow, went over to Madagis-
car, collected a number of slaves, which he ostensibly landed
for his estate, attacked the capital of Johanna, deposed the
King, placed his successor ou the throne, levied a contribution
of 2,000 dollars (i,400), which must have been a larger sum than
the place could apparently furnish, and retired to the Island of
Monaca, where he is now despotic. To prevent a repeti-
tion of these events, and also as a reward for the kindness and
hospitality shown by the people to the crew of the Borneo, the
King was presented with a quantity of arms and ammunition.
On several, occasions, during the last two centuries, the greatest
acts of kindness have been shown by the people of this Island
to the wrecked Europeans. They are of Arab origin, send a
pilgrimage to Mecca three tmes a-year, and decidedly adhere
more strictly to the laws of Mandmet.than his faithful followers
at Constantinople. Their manners appear simple, kind, and
generous, but a custom prevalent here, of present for present,
generally terminates to the disadvantage of the stranger. They
consider themselves in some measure under the protection of
the British East India Company, by whom a present is annu-
ally made to them.
The Queen of Madagascar has lately manifested a disposition
to cut off all communication with Europeans, and it was sup-
posed she would interdict the cattle trade between her subjects
and the Mauritius. This, however, is now of little consequence,
as a very successful trade has been opened for live stock with
the settlers of New South Wales and that Island. The cause
of that interdiction was supposed to be, that the slave trade was
effectually stopped, and Her Majesty had thereby lost a consi-
derable portion of her revenue: she had no objection to sell a
bullock and a human being together. So difficult was it to get
rid of slaves, that at Mozambique the slave vessels were offering
them at one dollar each, and no purchasers. At this place. the
Portuguese had divided themselves into Pedroites and Miguel-
ites, and were about to proceed to open rupture. The Miguel-
ites had possession of the fort, but the otherparty was most nu-
merous.—Humpshire Telegraph.

lIUNGARY.

The proposition made by the Emperor of Austria to the
Hungarian Diet, contains five recommendations. First, that
the relations between the landowner and his subjects should be
determined by a special law. Secondly, that the course of jus-
tice should be expedited, a criminal code framed, and the ambi-
guities to which processes have hitherto been subject, be super-
seded by a proper organization of courts of justice, and of
legal proceedings.. The extension of this recommendation to
an improvement in civil law, particularly in matters relating to
bills of exchange? and to the rights of creditors, was the more
called for, as it is notorious that whatever may be the extent
of the debts contracted by a nobleman of Hungary, his person
is safe as soon as he has entered that kingdom. The third
clause recommends an equitable distribution of the public bur-
thens among those who pay them, as well as a reasonable dimu-
nition of the taxes raisedfor the private treasuries of counties.
The fourth clause, assuming the long duration of the Diet,
recommends that the burthen of the daily pay of the deputies
should not be exclusively laid upon that class which already
pays so much. The fifth clause contains a request for the re-
payment of a sum of £27,000 advanced by the Archduke Pala-
tine out of the Imperial Treasury.

TURKEY.
Through Holland intelligence has been received from Frank-
fort to the 9th instant. Letters had been received there from
Constantinople dated the 20th of December, which gave a very
unfavourable picture of the Sultan's affairs. It is stated that
Reid Pacha, who had been expected to defend the strong posi-
tion of Koniah, had, in consequence of the hostile disposition
manifested by the inhabitants, found it necessary, on the near
approach of Ibrahim Pacha, to retreat upon Ackshebir, aban-
doning a great part of his ammunition and baggage. The
Grand- \rimer, Redschid Mehemed Pacha, who soon after ar-
rived at the camp, undertook a reconnoissance at the head of
10,000 cavalry, to ascertain the enemy's strength. The result
was, that he concentrated the whole of his force in the neigh-
bourhood of Achshebir, where he is resolved to fight a battle, on
the result Qf which the fate of the Turkish empire may depend.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 3.—The capitulation of the citadel of Antwerp
is a most vexatious event for Many persons, especially all those
whose confidence in the Dutch Journalists led them to join in
the language of the Journal de la Haye, according to which a
surrender was not to be thought of, but that General Chasse
would devote himself and garrison to destruction, together with
the city of Antwerp itself. Experienced military men were of a
different opinion from the beginning ; they admired the brave
defence of the Dutch general, and find the less reason to blame
the capitulation, concluded on honourable terms just before the
storm.would have been attempted, as General Chasse intimates
in his report that the contest in the breach could not have been
of any advantage to the Dutch arms. The military question
may be discusssed or not : what we are now concerned with is
the political question. The diplomatists do not find their in-
terrupted labours at all advanced by the interlude that has
taken place. The whole task lies still unchanged on their
shoulders, and we are curious to see what will be the first lever
applied_ to put our heavy load in motion again.—.llleyemeine

SLAVERY.

Mr. F. BUXTON begged to say, in consequence of what had
fallen from the noble lord, the member for Buckinghamshire,
on a former evening, that he had not withdrawn his notice of
motion with regard to colonial slavery, which stoodior the 19th
instant. He would not withdraw it unless his Majesty's go-
verntiaent would come forward with a satisfactory measure upon
that subject, and no measure would be satisfactory that would
not embrace an entire and immediate abolition of slavery.—
Whatever measure government had to propose should be
brought forward immediately. Now that so many dangers
pressed with regard to the colonies,—now that there was a pro-
bability of a servile war unless this question was speedily set-
tled, no delay whatever should be interposed to obstruct that
settlement., and he would warn the West India proprietors not
to lose the opportunity which was now held out to them.

They say that other cheeks are fall:

SUPPLY.-SUGAR DUTIES.

The house having then gone into committee of supply,
Lord ALTHORP rose, and said that the first resolution which
he had to propose to the committee was one with respect to the
sugar duties, and he did not feel that it would be necessary for
him to go into any detailed arguments upon that question. As
he was about to propose a resolution which went to continue this
tak upon sugar, he begged t.) observe, that he proposed it upon
the ground upon which ail taxes must depend—namely, that it
was required for the service of the state. He did not think that
the state of the revenue was such, taking into account, too, the
other questions of a fiscal nature that were likely to come under
the consideration of the house, as to enable him to propose such
a reduction in the duty on sugar as would be calculated to give
any substantial relief either to the West India colonies or to the
people of this country. Aware as he was of the distressed con-
dition of the West India proprietors, he would have been ex-
tremely glad if he could, consistent with his duty, propose a
large reduction of the sugar duties. A small reduction of the
duty would be productive of no advantage whatever to them, as
unless the duty was so far reduced as to reduce the cost of sugar
all over the world,, or to give them, in effect, the monopoly of
the market in this country, a reduction of the duty, without
doing them any good, would only cause a diminution in the
revenue of the country. Under these circumstances, he begged
to propose as a resolution for the adoption of the committee,
that the duties upon sugar and molasses imposed by au act pas-
sed in the first year of the reign of his present Majesty should
he further continued. He would add that though this resolution
did not specify the time that the duties were to be continued, it
was intended to continue them for a year.
This resolution gave rise to a desultory conversation between
Mr. W. Whitmore, Lord Althorp, and several other members,
in the course of wich,.
. .

Mr. ItUTHVEN moved that the chairman do report progress,
which was negatived by a division of 8 in favour, and So against
the bOn. gentleman's motion.
The resolution was then agreed to, and the remaining reso-
lutions having been put and carried without opposition, the
house resumed, and the reports of the committee was ordered
to be brought up this day.
The Solicitor-General brought up a bill for the limitation of
suits and actions relative to real property; also a bill to amend
the laws relating to dower; also a bill to amend the law of
courtesy; and a fotirth to amend the law of inheritance. They
were severally read a first time, and ordered to be read a second
time on Wednesday next.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned at one o'clock.

slack, however fine Wheat is held at a trifling advance. Grinding
Barley nominally as last noted. Oats sell on terms fully equal to last
week. Boiling Peas are not much inquired for. Beans are offering
in abundance, prices as on this day week. There is a great quantity
of weathered Malt on sale, the demand for which is limited. We
have a great deal of Flour offering, prices unaltered. Oatmeal fully

THE LIVERPOOL" STANDARD.

IRISH PRIVY COUNCIL.

On the motion of Mr. O'DWYER, a return was ordered of all
the salaries, fees, &c. received by the members and officers of
the Privy Council in Ireland.
Upon the order of the day for going into a committee of supply
being moved by Lord Althorp,

Mr. O'CONNELL took that opportunity to ask the noble lord
whether he would be able to fulfil his engagement with regard
tothe Irish church reform bill, and whether the bill would be
the aPer this week.
Lord ALTHORP said that the only delay that now intervened
was occasioned by the copying out of the bill, which would be
ready immediately.
Mr. Hums wished to know whether his Majesty's govern-
ment intended to act upon the report of the committee which
had been appointed three years ago with respect to the laws of
debtor and creditor, and whether there was any bill to be
brodght in founded upon that report.
Lord ALTHORP said, that in a conversation which he had
recently with the Lord Chancellor, he told him that he (the
Lord Chancellor) had been considering the subject, but it
certainly had not as yet been under the consideration of the
cabinet.

Lord G. SOMERSET asked when the report of the poor-law
commissioners would be ready to be laid before the house ?
Lord AL•rnoRY said he could not answer the question at pre-
sent, but if the noble lord would repeat it in a few days hence,
he (Lord Althorp,) having had in the mean time an opportu-
nity of communicating with the commissioners, would be ena-
bled to answer it.

Mr. HANDLEY, in reference to the Arbitration Bill, which
had been in the last session introduced by Lord Tenterden in
the House of Lords, and passed through that house, wished to
know whether it was the intention of the learned gentleman
opposite to bring forward that measure again this session ?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that, as it was, he had really
too much already upon his hands to accede to the request of
the hon. member. He begged to observe, that he considered
several clauses in the bill alluded to as extremely objectionable,
such, for instance, as imposed a forcible arbitration. If, how-
ever, any hon. member would select the salutary clauses from
that measure, and embody them in a bill, he would give it his
support.

the latter the Marquess of \V'ESTMEATH said, that he was not

the parties, under whose orders they were got up, wero con-
sidered.

We are glad to learn that a currency club is about to

head. Messrs. Mathias and Thomas Attwood will be
