vour very general y found in cargoes from ;
Virginia, in iken regularly at 43s. 6d. a !
44s. fid. per barrel.—Exportation with res-
pect to our grain market seems rather to
levin to the idea of prices being full as high
in March or April as at present, as the En-
glish new wheats were brought into con-
sumption in quantity, early tills season ;
but their is a peculiar uncertainty attending
tins subject.
" Quercitron bark continues dull. The
usual sorts of first quality may be quoted
15s. a 19s. per c vt. ; but extra fin
lity is .• orth 20s. a ajs. per cwt. and such
being scarce would command a pretty ready
sale.
" As usual at this season, there has been,
little inquiry tor coffee of laie, and any tri-
fling speculative demand sewns no*- altoge-
ther suspended, in consequence of the recent
disastrous events that have taken place on
the continent; rheannexed quotations, 1 here ¦
fore (nay be considered merely as nominal,
and only referring; to the latest partial sales.
In the present extraordinasy state of affairs
in Germany and other countries, to which
is usually exported, it is diffic< to
say how the article may rule ; but I hese are
moderate war pi ices, and our stock being by
no means heavy, we njtay expect some im-
provement in spring ; unless indeed, our in-
tercourse with the continent should be more
circumscribed than has been before experi-
enced
" Our quotations for Havana Sugars may
be considered also' as nearly nominal, the
present export vent being so exceedingly li-
mited, and indeed now likely to be altoge
ther suspended during the winter months ;
we have only therefore to observe, that they
are moderate, and as the quantity on hand
is not large, such prices may reasonably be
expected lobe maintained. Hides are dull,
and doubtful if these prices will be main-
tained. Spanish indigo continues to go off
pretty freely at these prices ; but it. is said
large supplies of East-India may be expect-
ed next year, in which case this article
may become precarious.
" We continue to receive considerable
supplies of Mahogany, and the demand be-
ing limited, the markets remain heavy —
The general vent for dye woods remains dull,
and the speculative demand that appeared
for Logwood (per British ship) for home
use in October, having subsided, that arti-
cle has again declined.—Jamaica and Cuba
Fustic, (per British ship) tor home use com-
mands a more ready safe, but our stock of
Porto Ric > Woood is ample, and there is
no moving with thai sort even at our reduc-
ed quotation. Large fresh solid Nicaragua
wood is scarce and wanted, at £;¦):') a £40
per ton, but the market is greatly over-
slocked with oilier sorts. Dye woods im-
ported per American ship are not. inquired
lor, being affected by the stagnation in ex-
port articles, owing to the stats (if the con.
tinent. and the reason of t he year.
" The successes of the Frelkcli in Prussia
have operated favorably on square timber,
which has again rather improved. A car-
go of pine obtained yesterday as 5d. being
id higher than a similar parcel was sold at to
days befofe. The stock of square timber
here is v( ry fncorisitlefable, and prices are
likely to remain high as also oi Lathw od.
Toe market is still heavily stocked with
European deals, but American plank is pur-
chased more Ireely at this moment than of
late. Good southern staves obtain a pretty
ready sale, and Red Oak and Ash go oil at
our quotations, at which we have sold with
in these few days.
" We have received nearly 7000 bbls.
of tar, in the last, month, viz. 5(3.90 from
America, and 2000 from the Continent of
Europe ; but the aitides i steady, and a
parcel from New-York obtained a is. two
days ago. The import of turpentine in the
last month amounts to 4977 bbls. and the
articles is exceedingly dull—an inferior par-
cel was sold the other day at ios. and a fair
parcel at I is, 6d. per. cwt.

descriptions, of which the stock principal-
ly consists, are dull."

of Washington. AH the judges are in the
city—but judges Chase and Ciishmg, we
understand, are indisposed.
Mr. Alexander, sent from Orleans by
general Wilkinson, under military arrest, is
now at the marine barracks in the city. It
is expected the counsel who appeared for
Dr. Boliman and Mr. Swartwout, will move
the supreme court this day for a writ ol ha-
beas corpus in his behalf.
In the legal code of Prussia it is provided
that the retribution and pay of advocates in
every instance, shall be determined by the sen-
tence, and regulated accordingly to their
labor, and in proportion to the nature and
object of the suit, and the abilities of the
parties.
It is also prohibited to the advocates to
take any fee before the suit is terminated,
to the end that they may have the same in-
terest as the parties, to bring it to a speedy
conclusion. \_London Jta/W.j

j*I.-, Hetties,
Observing an idea expressed of vesting
the proceeds of the Qr.rf' no, as a permanent
¦r il.e benefit of the deserving poor—
others may conceive it best to distribute the
products, in the immediate relief of the
poor : the former to ine appears the mode
best calculated, to ad tffl,ciently~%M there
exists no rcrd necessity for the latter this
season, as I understand there are funds un-
appropriated, in the hands of the mayor
of former collections:—
Objections may arise to funding, because
the sem they say is small : if those object-
ors, are even disposed to favor a permanent
fund, when will there be a larger or any
sum v.. to commence ? The present
is a handsome amount and demands the
grateful thanks of every benevolent mind
—I hope it will hornurnims/y and per;-
ly touch the d li ;v>,.i'ul feelings of gratitude,
in Viewing the extensive good of a perma-
foundt'd on the Charity :f
the II trtnonic V/¦
A permanent fund, vested under the con-
trol of trustees incorporated, will demand
the confidence of the public, receive sup-
port in 'various benevolent forms, and not
utifrequenily in handsome legacies : the
c.M-poiate powers so arranged, as to extend
the operations of the trustees, may in time
prove the germ of a soup house, school of in-
dustry, pr Some other charity*, that may be to
Future generations a bjessing of no small
magnitude, and add another amongst the
numerous .stars of benevolence, that deck
the crown of the citizens of Baltimore.
The propriety has been suggested, of
placing the funds in the hands ef the mayor,
and to be permanently subject, to the annual
afifirhprialion of the mayor and city coun-
cil, to which (as a citizen concerned in the
funds) 1 do positively object If this ar-
rangement is adopted, no establishment can
be projected or pr-Xi'ecuUA' permanently, as
the aj propriation may Be by existing circum-
stances, wriously diverted, which will ef-
fectually prevent a permanent establishment
—and much good.
No doubts can exist of obtaining the con-
sent, of one gentleman from each ward, who
would punctually perform every duty which
an institution of this kind would require :
and whqse feelings are alive to the interests
of the widow, the fatherless and the deserv-
ing poor—Although our worthy mayor and
tin- city council, would cheerfully give their
attention ; jet it is well known that the
duties ol' legislation and the other relative
duties, occupy so much of their attention,
it would be doing them, injustice, to press
them into this business.
If u betler mode is adopted I shall be con-
tented—the best mode to attain the object in
vie-Wj witUse my mode.
BENEVOLENCE.
A message was received from the pre
of t'ne U. S. relative to the claim of Mr. Ds
3eauir.arcb.uis, inclosing a letter from M0115.
Turreau on the subject, with sundry ctiter"
documents.
Mr. Gregg moved that the message and
documents be referred to the committee of
claims.
Mr. Ely wished them to be printed before
they were disposed of at all. He tho't that
the language used by the French minister
was not at all decorous to this nation : that
minister had demanded redress for an indivi-
dual in a tone of authotity which the French
government, nor any other government
on earth had a right to use.
Mr. Basset moved that the message and
documents be referred to a select committee.
Mr. D. R. Williams hoped that the moti-
on of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
) would prevail. He tho't that the
observations of the gentleman (Mr. Ely)
tended to give an importance to the subject
which it did not deserve.
Mr. Ely made a few remarks insnpport of
his motion. He particularly objected to that
part of Mbns, Turreau's letter, where he
says, that the French government " lifted
up its voice," in support of Beau march ais'
claim, &c.
Mr. Burwel! called for the reading of that
part of the letter. It was read.
Mr. D. R. Williams thought the gentle-
man was over-ii'Ce. He said it was not un-
usual for a government to interfere with res-
pect to tiie claims of their citizens. Our
ministers in France and Spain had ''lifted up
their voices" in support of the claims of their
fellow-citizens.
Mr. Al-tonwas of opinion that they ought
to be referred to a select committee, as they
were accompanied by a message from the
president.
On the question being taken they were
referred to the committee of claims.
A message was received from the seriate
informing the house, that they had passed
the bill supplementary to the act .making pro-
vision for the redemption, of the whole of
the public debt of the U. States.
The house then took np the report of the
committee of the whole on the " bill autho-
rising the issuing of debentures in certain ca-
ses."
Mr. Early on*ere*d a new section, which
was adopted.
T'ne question was then put, shall the bill
be engrossed for a third reading ?
Mr. D. R. Williams spoke at some length
against that part of the bill, which, authoris-
es the comptroller of the treasury to grant
relief in certain cases which have already
happened rh which he was followed by Mr.
Eppes and Mr, Sloan.
Mr. J. Clay spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr. Lyon read a long speech in favor of
the bill, which Mr. Sloan said he hoped
would be firinted.
Mr. !.). R. Williams was about to reply,
when t'ne wind blew in one of the sashes, &
also blew down one of the inside shutters,
which created such confusion in the house,
that Mr. W. made a potion to adjourn,
which was carried.
[The wind blew, in fact, a perfect hurri-
cane, insomuch that it was almost impossi-
ble to heara word that was said in the house
of representatives'. Considerable appreheu-
¦ sions were entertained that the sky-lights in
the capitol would be blown in.]
