COMMERCIAL REPORT. Lloyd's Coffee House, Jan. 24th, 1823. THE severity of the season deprives the Report for the present month of almost all interest. The commercial concerns of the country are chiefly confined to the cautious activity of a few persevering speculators, and to the necessary preparations for taking the earliest advantage of a remission of the present intense frost, in favour of vessels bound to the southward. The sales are no criterion of the state of markets; for the buyers are at home, keeping themselves warm by their fire-sides and the sellers hold fast to their prices, because they expect to realize, at no distant day, the utmost extent of their valuation. They had rather take in what articles they offer, before they are submitted to the no-company in attendance, than run the hazard of their being undervalued, and the market currency lowered, in consequence. For this reason, among others, the greater proportion of the China SILK, included in the present sale at the India House, is crossed out of the list of particulars; and to say truth, the rate at which what continues is disposed of, offers no great inducement to the holders to accept the terms generally obtained. The prices at the last sale were, in many instances, ten to fifteen per cent. better than some of the same description of goods have brought in the present sale. On the other hand, the INDIGO is going off about threepence per lb. higher than at the last sale, especially the superior qualities, which, only, have excited any competition among the bidders. The coarser kinds have been passed over without interest, and report affirms that the apparent purchasers are the real holders. The damage done by the late overflowings of the rivers in India, does not prove to be so extensive as the first alarm had conjectured; which, when the estimated loss of lives, as well as of property, is adverted to, affords considerations of relief to humanity as well as to commerce. It is well known, that there are consider able orders in town for SUGAR: the qualities suitable for exportation have, therefore, experienced an advance, and though few transfers of this property are realized, yet the holders continue exceedingly firm, and have every reason to conclude that their expectations will prove correct. Foreign sugars, also, have taken a start of from 3s. to 5s. per cwt. and the enquiries continue so brisk-the state of the weather, &c. considered that although buyers are not numerous, yet the prevailing opinion is, that the higher currency will fix itself. In fact, the rise has been coming on during some time, and is, therefore, the more likely to be steady. In the refined market few parcels are on show, as yet: the business that might be done would be extensive, but, partly the exhausted state of the former stocks, and the unfinished condition of the stocks advancing, have rendered this market almost a blank. What few samples are forward, and ready for delivery, obtain an advance of one or two shillings per cwt. COFFEE, like every thing else, is at a stand; the holders are firm at an advance, but as no exportation can take place, and the communication by internal navigation is suspended, buyers do not come forward. At Liverpool, the demand for COTTON has considerably improved; the sales of one week amounting to 15,000 bags. About one-third of this quantity has been bought on speculation, so that prices are expected ro rise. This does not always follow, it must be allowed, but those who should have the best information very well understand the hint, which they never fail to combine with what they learn of the quantities probably coming forward to meet the demand, and of the probable exhaustion of the leading houses, manufactories, &c. In London, "nothing doing "would be the fairest report that can be made. BRANDY continues very high in France, nor is there any appearance of a diminution of its price; consequently, what is in the hands of the holders here, is valued accordingly; nobody will sell, to replace his stock on higher terms; and the speculation that has taken place continues its operations without intermission. RUM is little varied: contracts are made for quantities that are to arrive, so that the market cannot be described as absolutely stagnant, while, nevertheless, there is little to communicate either as to change of hands, or variation in price. The progressive preparation of vessels for the return of milder weather, with the necessity for providing stores, in good time, keeps up the market for provisions at a fair currency: higher prices are asked for India Beef, in quantity; and this, with Pork, &c. is very firm. New Mess is steady, and in demand; so is Butter of good qualities; but Bacon is very dull. We need say nothing on the state of supply for the metropolis; it is well that the warehouses and stores near this prodigious scene of consumption are well filled, and now are, more or less, discharging their contents. 1823.

Governor of the House of Correction. Last month the Magistrates of Middlesex assembled at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell Green, to elect a fit person to fill the office of Governor of Coldbath-fields prison, vacant by the death of the late Mr. Atkins. Only four candidates offered themselves, namely,-Mr. Vickery, Mr. There have been executed in London and the county of Surrey 24, of which number 8 only have been reported to be buried within the Bills of Mortality. Field, Mr. Fruchard, and Mr. Hassell. At two o'clock the poll was closed, and Mr. Vickery was declared elected. Improvements at Westminster Hall.The workmen have proceeded to complete the Royal entrance to the House of Lords, which will be finished by the 4th inst. The stone staircase is fast completing. The passage is vaulted, and has an imposing effect on the spectator, and suggests ideas connected with those processional scenes of grandeur for the display of which it is evidently built. New ventilators are prepared for the House of Commons, but nothing more. The building of the several new Law Courts is rapidly in progression. The new Chancery Court has been roofed, and will, when finished, be more commodious and handsomer than the ancient. Prison Discipline.-The fourth Report of the Committee of the Society for the improvement of Prison Discipline has been published. It is highly satisfactory in all its details, and shows clearly that the exertions of the supporters of this excellent Institution have not been in vain. Following the Report there are accounts of the present State of the Prisons of Great Britain, Scotland, and Ireland; together with that of others in France, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Prussia, and Norway, which will be found highly interesting. Our limits do not at present admit of our making copious extracts which, but for this cause, we should gladly admit. We cordially recommend the report itself to the consideration of all who feel interested in the important question of which it treats. ECCLESIASTICAL PROMOTIONS, &c. Preferred.-The Rev.
