EARTHQUAKE IN SYRIA.-The loss of life, the number of maimed and wounded, the destruction of property, the length of time during which the shecks have beeu continued, the discases to which the exposure of the people to the sun by day, and the cold dews by night, have given rise,-all give to this calamity a peculiarly awful character.

The spirit of travelling having in duced many of our fellow-subjects to visit the eastern parts of the Mediterranean, now desolated by the horrors, which have been the consequence of the long-continued earthquake in Sy-* ria, and our countrymen having been received with generous hospitality; it

cannot be doubted but that so some liberal return will be made to assist them in the deplorable and wretched circumstances in which, they are now placed. It is a high gratification, that so sure a channel as that of the Levant Company is opened for the conveyance. of British benevolence, and that such respectable means are adopting for an impartial and judicious distribution, according to the ascertained degrees of misery of the various individuals. We have heard with pleasure that the Committee for managing the collection, have already forwarded a second sum of One Thousand Pounds to their treasurer at Coustantinople.

The Secretary to the SOCIETY of GUARDIANS for the PROTECTION of TRADE by Circulars has informed the Members thereof, that at the present January Westminster Sessions,

GEORGE SMITH was convicted for fraudulently obtaining Goods from Messrs. Robarts, Griffiths and Crick, Members of this Society, by falsely pretending that he was the servant of Messrs. Harding, Ashby and Co. also Members of this Society. And I am

directed to inform you that the persons undernamed, viz.

PETER UPSDELL, late of 16, Clement's Inn, and now in White Cross Street Prison; and

WILLIAM NORTON, Market Gardener, of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, attending the Market of Watford, Hertfordshire, are reported to this Society as improper to be proposed to be ballotted for as Members thereof.

COTTON.-The Cotton market continues very quiet; the sales since our last are confined to small parcels of Bengals and Surats. The India' sale declared for the 7th proximo, consists now of about 27,000 bags, viz.—14,429 Bengals-6656 Surats-6364 Madras.

SUGAR The demand for Muscovades this week has been steady, and the business done very considerable; the late prices are fully maintained.

The Sugar market to-day has closed exceedingly firm, and we think a general advance of ls. per cwt. since Tuesday may be stated..

In the Refined market there have been few purchases, on account of the navigation being suspended; no reduction in the prices can be stated, yet the trade is very heavy to-day. The price of Molasses 29s.

In Foreign Sugars there have been no purchases reported; few parcels are offering for sale.

COFFEE. The public sale yesterday was considerable; it consisted of 324 casks 83 bags British Plantation, and 104 bags St. Domingo: the former was chiefly Demerara and Berbice descriptions, which sold rather lower than by private contract; the greater portion of the Jamaica Coffee was taken in; good ordinary brown rank 95s. a. 98s. 6d. clean good ordinary coloury 101s. a 104s. 6d.; ordinary pale St. Domingo sold at 100s. Generally of the public sale it may be stated that the whole went off heavily, and generally at lower prices.

This forenoon there were no public sales, and no purchases by private contract were reported.

FRUIT.-A cargo of new Turkey was put up to public sale on Tuesday Jast, prices obtained as follows; fine Carabournas 66s. inferior 63s.; Red

CORN. The business of the Corn market has been completely interrupted by the severe weather; the only purchases reported are a few parcels of Oats for immediate consumption, for which the buyers are obliged to pay an advance of 2s. a 3s. per quarter; the quotations of every description of Grain are nominal.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDŞ.— The Government contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum coming out this morning unexpectedly, has a very favourable effect upon the market; the purchases this forenoon are considerable, and generally at rates which were not attainable previously.-Brandy continues to be held with much firmness-In Geneva few sales are reported, but the holders are asking high prices, on account of the scarcity.

SALTPETRE.-The demand has lately been considerable, on account of the warlike reports; the prices are fully 1s. higher.

Notwithstanding the great consumption of Tallow during the present season, yet the market must be stated tower, and heavy at the decline; the nearest price of Yellow Candle Tallow to-day is 39s.

INDIGO. The fine Indigo, at the India House, has supported the former prices; all other descriptions are tower.
