country at large, offered for sale. The ewes with their lambs, and the rams, were put up singly, and were purchased with avidity at wonderful prices. The correct result of the two day's sale was as follows: 124 Merino ewes with their lambs sold for 30 Merino ewes 40 Merino ewe-hogs (or year-} ling ewes) 20 Merino rams 14 Merino yearling rams Thus 228 Merinos sold for no? less than £4786 12 6 992 5 0 773 17 851 30 806 80 9210 39 The distribution of so great a number of Spanish sheep, of the pure Merino or travelling breed of that country, (for in Spain there are various other and inferior kinds of sheep, which are stationary like ours, and not annually driven to and from the mountains for summer-pasture, as the Merino sheep are,) by his Majesty's annual sale, and former and recent donations, and by this sale of Lord Somerville's, and others among the most careful, and experienced breeders of eattle throughout the British island, cannot fail of soon producing a beneficial effect on our staple manufacture of broad cloth.

At Portsea, Mr. James Hay, jun. sculpter, From his earliest days he was much accustomed to the study of the natural his tory and antiquities of his country, in which he acquired a great proficiency, as well as a knowledge of the learned languages. Being an able draftsman, and possessing exquisite taste for painting, he was put under Mr. West, but having a greater inclination for sculpture, he was very soon after pupil to Flaxman. Under this distinguished master two years, he made rapid progress in the art, whilst he likewise studied anatomy and physiology under Sheldon, Brookes, &c. Too intense application to the various branches of science, brought on a lingering disease, which terminated, by a premature death, the life and labours of a rising genius, who would have proved an honour and an ornament to his country. But, he was as much beloved for the virtues of his mind, as he was admired for his superior talents. La conversation he never failed being both entertaining and instructive, for he possessed an uncommon portion of general knowledge. Never, however, did he assume the superci lious positiveness of a conceited pedant. Whilst he was firm in his opinions, and lucid in his representations, he always dise played the mild and amiable features of a mind, that believed and felt the doctrines of the religion he professed. He has left many drawings of the most remarkable antiquite's in Hampshire; and a much greater number of almost the whole zoology of Great Britain, particularly a complete arrangement of all the shells, beautifully drawn and coloured from nature, which were intended for publication. As they are in possession of his respected father, who is an eminent naturalist, and fellow of the Linnean Society, they may yet be given to the public.

WALFS. William Edward Powell, esq. of Nant-eos, the present high-sheriff of the county of Cardigan, has raised a noble emulation among his numerous tenantry, by offering twentyseven premiums of as many silver cups, ta such tenants as may carry the three largest quantities of lime for fallow crops; the same for the three best crops of turnips; the three greatest length of fencing and enclosing; of draining and watering; for raising the three greatest quantities of clover seed and for planting the three greatest numbers of well-selected apple-trees, willows, and white thorns; also for rearing the best draft colts, bulls, heifers, and tups, of the Southdown breed. Such spirited conduct in a young gentlemen, just come into the possession of his estates, gives the fairest promise of his becoming a real blessing to his country -a patriot in the truest sense of the word.

About eight years since, while thatching his little hut, he fell off the ladder, and broke the bone of the lame leg, which was completely healed in a very short time to the astonishment of all who knew him. He was attended by his own daughter, whom he desired a few minutes before his dissolution to turn him in bed, observing to her, that very likely this will be the last time!" after he was turned, he expired without a groan. MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT.. EAST INDIES-Report states that the India company's warehouses are, for the most part, little better than empty; and that the fleet which is announced as being on its way home, is therefore looked for with unusual earnestness. We know not upon what authority this report is founded, but certain we are that whatever may be the dearth of East India goods in our markets, they do not appear to be either in great demand or high estimation. The following quotations of the prices of the day will fully demonstrate the correctness of the lattor assertion. Bohea tea, is. 10d. to 28. 5d.; singlo and twankay, 3s. 7d. to 3s. 1id; congou, 3s. 3d. to 3s. 108.; souchong, 3s. 9d. to 4s. 8d.; pekoe, 4s. 2d. to 4s. 6d.; hyson, sundry qualities, 3s. 7d. to 5s. 9d. and upwards; campoi, 6s. 6d. to 3s. 11d. per lb. That wretched article East India sugar, which can be considered little better than a tea table ornament, being absolutely wanting in the important qualities of succulency and sweetness, is a mere drug. The prices quoted, vary from 31. 17s. to 41. 15s. per cwt. but we believe few sales are made at the latter price. Silk is rather scarce; of China three moss small, there is none in the market; the six moss fetches from 40s. to 44s.; the Bengal sm. sk. from 243. to 438.; the Novi from 30s to 42s.; and the organzine, from 48s. to 60s. Cotton is in tolerable demand, it sells from 1s. 3d. to 1s. 6d. per lb. Rice has lately experienced a rise; the prices of the article vary from a guinea to 26s.; those of saltpetre (rough), from 31. 10s. to 31. 18s.; and of ginger, from 31. 15s. to 41. 6s. per cwt. Hemp, 621. to 721. per ton. Indigo, from 63. to 13s. 9d. according to colour; cochineal, from 6s. to 8s.; opium, from 11. 6s. to 11. 8s.; Jambee and Billapatam pepper, from 11d. to 114.; and turmerick, from 81. to 101. 15s. per lb. At the late indigo sale of the company, which lasted five days, 2451 chests were sold at prices, from 33. 34. to 12s. 11d. per lb. The duties to be paid for homeconsumption. WEST INDIES -The Jamaica fleet safely arrived in our ports about the middle of the last month, since which time the greater part of the cargoes has been landed. We are sorry to be obliged to state that the articles which the fleet brings home, came to a very indifferent market; nay even prior to its arrival we were completely dutted with West India goods. The papers by the last Jamaica mail mention the safe arrival of the outward-bound fleet on the last day of February. The demand for sugar is rather abated since our list report; and what has been brought to public sale, went off without spirit at a small reduction in prices, of middling and good qualities. Antigua, Barbadoes, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Tobago, and Tortola, fetch from 31. 14s. to 41. 5s.; Jamaica, from 31. 13s. to 41, 6s.; and St. Lucia, Demerara, Trinidad, and Surinam, from 31. 133. to about 4 guineas. Rum is in regular enquiry, and it being very scarce, parcels of good flavour command handsome prices. This is particularly the case in the Liverpool market. Canmar Leewards are dull. The market prices at London are, for Jamaica, from 4s. 48. to 6s. 4d.; and for Leeward Islands, from 3s. 8d. to 4s. 4d. per gallon. Coffee continues much neglected; the prices quotad vary from 31. 10s. to 61. 103. per cwt. the former being the lowest price of ordinary, and the latter the highest of fire coffee. Ja naica logwood goes off pretty regularly. The chipt fetches from 371. to 381. 10s per ton; of unchipt there is scarcely any in the market. Jamaica fustik, brings from 201. 10s. to 20 guineas; and Cuba ditto, from 241. to 261. per ton. There is very little done in this article. The demand for cotton is rather limited. Jamaica sells from 1s. 5d. to 1s 6d.; Demerary, from 1s. 74. to 1s. 1041; Barbadoes, from 1s. 74. to 13.814.; Berbice, from 18 8 to 15. 104.; and Surinam, from 1s. 1014 to 2s. per lb. As we have alluded to the public sales of West India sugar, it may not be unnecessary to present the minutes of the sale made by Mr. T. Kemble, within the last few days. On this occasion, 245 hogsheads, 20 tierces, and 43 barrels of Martinico clayed sugar (for exportation) were disposed of at prices from 40s. 6d. to 62s. per cwt. The sales of cotton wool have not been unfavourable; Kymer and Co lately disposed of 550 bags of Surinam at very fair prices, namely, from 1s. 8d. to 2s. 4. per lb. NORTH NORTH AMERICA-A considerable time has elapsed since we felt such reaf pleasure in touching upon this bead of our report, as we do at the present (moment Evert mar ba wishes well to the commercial interests of the nation, and whose heart inclines to favour the cause of humanity, must surely rejoice on being told that the late alarming differences which existed between England and the United States, have at length been brought to an amicable termination; and that the North American legi lature, unsolicited by our ministry, hav wisely abolished that non-intercouse act, which has too long militared against the weir-being of both countries. We cannot, indeed, find language sufficiently strong to express the satisfaction we experience in stating that the trade between North America and Great Britain is ance more thrown open to enterprizing merchants on either side of the Atlantic. That may long continue to flow in the channel of tranquility, uninterrupted by the foul gates of petty animosity, is our most fervent prayer! It is calculated, that within one month after the removal of the restrictions on American commerce, upwards of one thousand vessels will leave the United States for British ports, laden with wheat, flour, cotton, tobacco, &c. We trust that in our next it will be our pleasing duty to state that the manufacturers of the United Kingdom feel the genial influence of this happy state of things. The intelligence from North America has caused the holders of produce to come forward once more, and netwithstanding the expectation of fresh importations, the demand for the commodities is become pretty brisk already. The demand for fresh pot-ashes is particularly animated. Our market prices are from 21. 10s. to Sl. 19s. Pearl are also much enquired for; they tetch from 21. 14%. to 31. 10s. per cwt. The prices of other articles of American produce are as follows: MaryJand tobacco, 5d. to 16d.; Virginia ditto, 6d. to 84d.; Georgia cotton-wool, 15.43. ta 29. 6d. per lb. Far, 11. 14s. to 11. 17s. per barrel. Pitch, from 13s. to 13s. 6d. per ewt. ' Oak, 141. to 181.; ditto plank, 111. 10s. to 151. Pine, 81. to 9 guineas; ditto plank, 11. 10s. to 151. 10s. per last. Wax, 151. 15s. to 141. 10s. per cwt. Turpentine, Esto 50s. per cwt. Linseed, 41. 5s. to 41. 10s. per quarter. Carolina rice, 11. 6s. to 11. 10s. and Tosin, 10s. to 15s. per cwt. SOUTH AMERICA.-Letters from Buenos Ayres of a recent date state that nearly 160 vessels were in the river Plate, which were prohibited from unlading in consequence of ast being provided with licenses from the mother country. From what we can gather by the reports of the captains and supercargoes lately returned thence, it were perhaps just as well that the 160 vessels returned home, or carried their cargoes to some other market; for every account s'ates that Spanish America is perfectly glutted with British merchandize. We are bappy to learn that a treaty of commerce has been arranged with the ministers of the Prince Regent at Rio Janeiro. An abstract of this treaty shall appear so soon as it reaches our hands. It is also known that a commersial treaty is at present negociating between Rutha and the Prince Regent. Our English traders already hail this negociation as the prognostic of a renewal of our intercourse with Russia by an indirect channel of communication. There has no material alteration taken place in the prices of South American commodities since our last Report. Buenos Ayres tallow fetches from 31, 10s. to 3!. 11s. per cwt.; ditto hides, from 7d. to 1s. per lb. Brazil indigo, 2s. 6d. to 5s. per lb.; ditto rice, 11. 5s. to 11. 8s. per cwt. Nicaragua wood, from 561. to 581. per ton. Havannah sugar (white), from 31. to 31. 10s; and ditto (brown), from 21. 5s. to 21. 14s. per cwt. Brazil tobacco (roli), 74. to 8d.; ditto (leaf), 5d. to 6d. per lb. Balsam capivi, 4s. to 4s. 4d.; ditto Peru, 9s. to 9s. 4d.; ditta Tolu, 6s. to 6s. 6d. Jesuits' bark, quill 4s. 6d. to 11s. Od.; yellow, 5s. to 85.; and red, 16s. 6d. to 25s. 63. Brazil cotton wool, 2s. 2d. to 2s. 6d. per ib. TURKEY.-The black sea is at length opened to the English trade; an event which is likely to prove of very great commercial advantage to us. Box-wood is one of the most saleable among the Turkish articles, it fetches from 151. to 201. per ton. Smyrna cottonyarn, 2s. 10d. to 4s. 1d. per lb. Rhubarb, 14s. to a guinea; cpium, 11. 10s. to 32s. 6d. per Jb. Black Smyrna raisins, 2 guineas to 21. 5s. and red ditto, from 31. Gs. to 31. 10s, per cwt. SPAIN. The Spanish consul has issued a notice to all persons trading to the Spanish colonies, setting forth, that as attempts have lately been made to introduce spies and em saries into those establishments, no Spaniard or foreigner shall be suffered to land therein, without presenting authentic documents and passports, granted by the legitimate authorities resicent The supply of Spanish commodities in our markets is tolerably abundant, and the prices which they bear are certainly fair. Jordan almonds fetch from 191. to 201. 10s.; Valentia, from 5 guineas to 51. 15s.; and bitter, from 41. 15s. to 4). 18s. per cwt. Carthagena barilla, 31. to 31. 4s. Belvedere raisins, Sl. 10s. to 4.; bloom, 41. 5s. to 61. 5s.; and Malaga, 21. 11s. to 21. 15s. per cwt. Sherry wine, 711. to 1101.; Mountain, 671. to 901. per het. Calcavella, 901. to 1001. per pipe. there. GERMANY. We learn that the Frankfort fair, which is just terminated, exhibited as fine a show of British manufactured goods, as at any period during our interrupted intercourse with the continent of Europe. The articles, generally speaking, sold well. The principal purchasers were Dutchmen. Swiss cottons and muslins were in great demand. Some houses at Neuchatel did business to the amount of six millions of florins. Current |
