THE KING M. W. CLARKE.

This defendant, whose case was on l'riday brought
before the notice of the Court of King's Bench, on
Tuesday evening renewed his application at Jlr. Jus-
tice Best's chambers, to be admitted to go at largo on
his oo n rrcognisances. lie pot in an amended affidavit,
in which he swore, that since the former indictments
had been found, he had ceased to sell any of the work
complained of (a blasphemous poem called Qffeea Alab)
and lota not in fact disposed of a single copy, although
the present indictment charged him with having dune
so. However, the solicitor for the prosecution in-
formed his Lordship that the defendant had in fact
given op his interest in this particular work to another
individual, who handed it to the purchaser on all oc-
casions, but still the profits were given to Clarke; the
transaction took place in his house, and he was beyond
all question the publisher. The Learned Judge then
severely commented on the conduct that had been pur
sued by the defendant, and ordered him to find good
and sidid ient securities for his good behaviour. His
Lordship, in conclusion, assured him, that in what-
ever contempt he, and persons of his description,
iiti4ht hold the laws, they would nevertheless find them
too strung fur thee► and their nefarious practices.

LO.V!)UN Af A-RK NTS JULY 3.

CI /TTON.—The briskness we noticed last week in the
Cotton market, at Liverpool has again subsided : the
prices in London have remained steady. The ordinary
descriptions of India Cotton are in demand for export ;
the finer rate rather low in proportion, and are in limit-
ed request fur home consumption.
Livititeont., JIVE 30.—Our Cotton market this
week has been less animated than the last ; there has,
however, been a fair demand, and prices of all kinds have
been fully supported. The arrivals, owing to the con-
tinued prevalence of easterly winds, have only been 954
bags.
- - -

COFFEE.—The public sales of Coffee brought for-
ward last week, were extensive, consisting of 1373 casks
and 2027 bags, but, as the demand appeared chiefly for
tine qualities, fine ordinary, with colour, to tine middling,
the greater proportion consisted of these descriptions,
particularly the large sale of Thursday, which, in a
great measure, regulates the market ; fine ordinary Ja-
maica, with colour, 1255., large parcels middling 1265.
a 1•2!45. Gd.. rood middling 1315.6 d.; the ordinary and
good ordinary sold at nearly the previous low prices.
SUGAR.—The Refined market has been for such a
series of weeks in so languid and declining a state, that
several purchases were made at prices Is. a 2s. below
our last quotations, but, as these contracts were made by
houses of the first respectability, who were induced to
imy on account of the goods offered to them on so very
low terms, we could not take them as the regular cur•
rency of the market, but as these sales have in some
measure transpired, we have been induced to reduce
prices. By public sale last week, 350 elicits of Baran-
nail Sugar were brought forward, and the greater pro-
portion sold at the previous prices, good and fine white
strong 555. and 565., middling white 525. a 525.' yellow
295. a 31s. 1,000 bags East India Sugars were brought
forward; very fine white China sold 50s. and 50s. 6d.,
middling 41s. a 425.: the former were of uncommon fine
quality, but sold 2s. a As. higher than any Sugars we
have seen ; the remainder were Bourbon Sugars, and the
yellow sold at prices a shade lower than the market
currency ; yellow 2-Is. Gd. a 255. 6d., brown at lbs. a
235. 6d.

RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum
market remained last week in the same I4nguid state,
scarcely any business doing by private contract. This
forenoon a public sale was brought forward, consisting
of 71 puncheons, Jamaica, of an uneven quality ; the
whole were 'iron, [turns, averaging 26 a 27 over-proof,
and sold so low as is. 2d.; we have in consequence re-
duced our quotations, but buyers would find it difficult
to purchase at the rates of the public sale. Brandy is
not held so firmly as formerly.--Uoneva continues not
g lee ted.
COCOA.—By public sale this forenoon, 300 bags
Brazil Cocoa, good quality, 525. and 525. tad.
_ _

IRISH PROVISIONS.—Thero is lilt's variation in
beef or pork, and little business doing in skipping, on

account of the few reseals fitting out; Beef being
scarce, maintains high prices:—India Beef 7/. 17-
Navy 61. 10s. ; Prime bless 6/. Ss.; Inferior
U. 10s. The change of weather yesterday and
favourable for butter; the Da al% particularlF,
for higher prices.
HEMP, FLAX. and TALLOW.-..The prices
articles have lately been declining, tire market roans
in the same languid state as fir a series of weeks ,
The holders of Tallow evinced a great (reposition
feet sales last week, and the very reduced prices
which several considerable parcels were offered,
duced the buyers to come forward : several
were reported at 455. 6d., and, we believe, one
455.; the currency of the market may, in came
ge
be stated 4fis. e. 465. 6d.: for arrival contracts •
ported at nearly these prices. Hemp must
quoted 10s. lower.—Flax at the late nominal
—The letters from St. Petersburgh are of dater
later than the Mail: the Exchange remained a
above 94.
NAVAL STORES.—There are no parcels ,
Turpentine at market :—.Spirits remain at 731.1 e
must be quoted at the reduction of 11d. a. IL The es*
tract with Government for the supply alike Dockyards
is taken at a low rate, but when it is calculated
Archangel Tar is taken, end that by the direct
the expenses of landing, &c. are saved, the prices
nearly with the currency of the market.—ln rack
sin, Etc. there is little alteration.

OILS.—The prices of Greenland and other Fish
remain nearly nominal until the success of this
fishery is ascertained ; the first reports are dail► I
for. Rape Oil, from the great scarcity, must be
at the improvement of 11. a. 21. Linseed is
lower.
