CITY MARKETS.-MAY PLANTATION SuGans.—The Market opened rather briskly this morning, and considerable business has been done at very full prices, the good qualities continuing to fetch higher prices. Owing to the scarcity, and being most in demand, the Barbarloes sale this day has also gone off very brisk, and the prices of the good qualities arc dearer. FOREIGN SUGARS.—The sales made yesterday and to day, privately, have been very extensive in Brazil and Ha vannah. Cori re,—.Privately there is but little doing; the pub lie sales of to-day have not come on as yet. Palm—Remains the same as last week. Rust.—There is rather a better demaud for exportation. The stock is lower than last week, being yesterday 8,454 puns. and 927 hbds. The quotations are those oflast week. Drrwoons.—The Company's sale is now going on rather flatly. In general, all sorts of Dyewoods are heavy. SPICES.—CIoves and Cinnamon are in request ; but other articles are not much inquired after. In TEAS EWE is doing. The sale at the India House commences on the 2d of June, and consists of 7,700,0001b5. the chief of which is composed of Congou, Souchong, Pekoe, and Campoi. TaLLow.—The deliveries of Russia Tallow last week were much smaller than for a long time past, viz., only 655 casks. It is probable, therefore, that instead of the stock not being adequate to the demand, there will be 3,000 or 4,000 casks on hand when the new Tallow ar rives. The market continues to decline, and is to-day not higher than 375. 6d. to 375. 9d. for immediate delivery, and 365. 6d. on arrival of new Tallow. At St. Peters burgh, according to advises of the 3d inst., very little was deing there. Tallow remained at 97A- rubles. Hors.—ln Friday's report, the bettings on the duty should have been 125,0001., and not 115,000/. It now appears that the fly has only appeared in one or two dis tricts, and that in general the b►nes are going on most prosperously. This shows how careful persons should he not to trust to reports spread by these speculating on the amount of duty; and it is to be hoped that the severe losses sustained by respectable houses last year, by betting against the duty, will put a stop to such transactions. The duty is now called at 130,000/. Fine samples are in demand, and prices very firm, and will probably improve, there being but a limited quantity in the market. SALTEETRE.-The speculative business in this article hs not much increased, under the supposition that the 's ar in the East will be of short duration. The CorroN Market remains in the 'sine state as last week. The purchases are limited, but prices have not given way. COTTON WOOL. LIRP OF IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. 'Whitehall, May 13.

The Noble 1 Marquis begged to draw the attention of the House to the extension of the law of sewers, and read an extract from a work which he rcuisider,sl of great importance, showing the advantages derived from such au extension, and strongly recommended the adoption of it with respect to Ireland.

By mistake another petition for it had been put into his carriage, and he would new present it to the Muse without repeat ing the observations he had made last night. The petition prayed for the removal of the disabilities under which the Rorman Catholics laboured. Lord ICING presented a petition from the Roman Ca tholics and inhabitants of a parish in Donouglimore in favour of the Catholic Claims. _ _ _ Lord WIIARNCLIFFE moved the order of the (lay for receiving the Report of the Committee on the Night Poach ing Bill, which was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND presented a peti tion from the breeders of sheep and growers of wool in the county of Northumberland, against the importation of foreign wool. The Dukc of NORTHUMBERLAND presented a pe tition from the owners and occupiers of land in the county of Northumberland, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. _The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented petitions from the I'rotestant Dissenters of five or six parishes in the county Cavan, against further concessions to the !Inman Catholics. SURREY COAL METERS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the third reading of the surrey Coal Meters' Act. The Duke of WELLINGTON proposed an Amendtnent limiting the Metage Lill for one year from July next, and adding that it was the intention of his Majesty's Government to take the subject fully into consideration in the course of next Sessions. Lord KING was glad to hear this fall from the Noble Lord opposite, because he believed that the coal-meting system put the public off their guard : they were led to be lie►e their interest was guarded by it, but though money was taken from them to support it, instead of benefittrng, it injured them. He thought that some mea_•ure ought to he adopted, whereby the public might know what a dial (lron was; he believed no one knew the cubic contents of a ehaldron, which the public ought to know, and there would be some difficulty in taking the chaldron by weight. Lord WHATINCLIFFE, as being connected with the coal trade in the north, thought he tnight make one ob servation. In consequence of the metage practice in Lon don, a slur had been thrown on the coal owners of the north, but he could assure the House and the public, that no set of men could by possibility be more anxious than the coal-owners, that an enquiry into this subject should take place, and some measure be speedily passed by Parliament, to relieve them from the enormous expense they are at in delivering their coals in London. After some observations from the Earl of SHAFTES BURY, the Bill was read a third time and passed. Earl GROSVENOR presented a petition from the Ro man Catholics of Hollowell, praying for Catholic Eman cipation.—Ordered to lie on the table. PENRYN DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. Counsel were called in, when Mr. Harrison stated that in the exercise of his discretion he should refrain from calling any witnesses to contradict the evidence, although his clients were anxious to relieve themselves from the imputations unjustly cast upon them. On the motion of the Earl of CARNARVON the fur ther consideration of the Bill was postponed.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, M 20. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Manchester and Salford against the Slave Trade. Mr. CLIVE presented a similar petition from Hereford. Mr. WM. SMITH presented a petition from the Ma gistrates and Wardens of Norwich, in favour of the Hiring by Service Bill. Also a petition from the Gentry, Traders, and Ship-owners of Norwich, in favour of the Aire and Calder Canal Bill. Lord HOTHAM presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Leominster against the Slave Trade. Mr. Crafer, from the Treasury, brought up papers re lative to the land tax. Lord W. PAULETT presented a petition from the merchants, traders, &c. of Sunderland, against the Small Note Act. Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from the Maltstecs of Wslnn, praying for an alteration ö the Malt Act. Mr. JONES moved the reading of the Fermanagh and Blackwater Canal Bill, which was accordingly read a third time and passed. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from cer tain manufacturers at Warminster concerned in the woollen trade, praying that the House would interpose to prevent manufacturers paying their workmen in kind instead of money. Lord STANLEY stated that abuses similar to that al luded to in the petition were also prevalent in Lancashire. It was certainly desirable that some measure should be en acted to put a stop to such practices. A bill for that pur pose had, however, been already brought in, but was found completely nugatory, as ma nufacturers were unwilling to come forward and mention th e grievances tnei complained of.—Petition ordered to be printed. Lord W. PAULETT moved for a return of the quantity of Foreign Lead Ore imported into Ireland within the last year. ADMIRALTY COURTS IN IRELAND. Sir JOHN NEWPORT, purtuant to notice, moved that the Commission of Inquiry in Ireland be directed to inquire into the state of the Admiralty Court in Ireland, to report thereon to the Meuse ; also, as to the Securities of the Court, and the comparative expense of trying a cause in that and the other Law Courts in Ireland. The Court was at present in a state of the greatest irregu larity. The duty had been performed by deputy, and the sittings of the. Court were so irregular, as to have the bu siness protracted to the great inconvenience of the suitor. In 1 822, the sittings of the Court were at two o'clock in the day, but even at this late hour they were not regular in their sittings, for they va ried in a most extraordinary manner, sometimes sitting at one, Sanetlines at ten, then at twelve, then at eleven, then at one, and finally again at two. The ex.. penecs, in consequence of this irregularity, became very heavy, and in one case that came to his intiormation, that. of a suit for the recovery of a seaman's wages there were four Counsel employed. The sum fru be recovered wis 20/. and the costs came to no less than Itiof. It also appeared that a large quantity of dollars had been brought into the Court with other monies, in the year 1821, and remained in the custody of an officer who gave no security for the performance of the duties of office. He had heard complaints from Liverpool and other places relative to this Court ; one of which he would state to the House. A merchant at Liverpool had char tered\ire a vessel with a cargo of hides in th e y ear 1825, an d a dispute arising relative to them in D u bli n, t h e matte referred to the Magistrates, by wh om it coal al most immediately arranged. There was one era tion of th e c a rg o , however, which the o wners t advised to submit to the decision of the Admiralty Cou r t, and following this advice, proceedings were instituted. there. It was two years before the decision of the Court could be obtained, and then it was found upon calculation that after deducting the value of the 'irides, there was a loss of 7001. to the merchants at Liverpool..` it would be far better that there was nu Admiralty Court in Ireland at all, but that the business should be transacted by the Courts in England ; but thy: was no Use in dwelling upon that, for it could not be remedied, because, by the Act of LT on, the existence of the Ad miralty Court in Ireland was guaranteed. The Right Honourable Baronet then concluded by 'moving to the effect above stated. Mr. LAMB spoke in so lwr w ttne of voice that ‘ , .e could scarcely hear what he said, but we understood hint to say that the Commissioners were already engaged iu that enquiry. • After a few words from Mr. CIWICER, and Dr. MORE, the motion was acceded to. A Met4senger from the Lords announced that their Lord ships 'had agreed to several private Bills.—(See Lords' Repert.) USURY LAWS. Mr. POULET THOMPSON said, he was aware of the difficulties which he had to contend with in rising to address the Home in support of the motion of which he had given notice. In the first place he was aware that the question of the Usury Laws had been so often dis eusaed in that House, that it was impossible for him to urge any argument which could appear new to the House, and he had at one time thought that the best plan which he could adopt wan to submit at once to the House the stature of the attentions which he intended to propose, and to abstain from going into the general system of the usury Iowa; but upon further consideration he thought, that as the question bad not undergone any discussion during this Ses sion, it would be unwise in hint to adopt a plan which might have the effect of depriving him of the support of some Honourable Members, who opposed a total alteration of the law, but who might be disposed to adopt a partial alteration of the present system. He asked the indulgence of the House, because he felt that he was fairly open to the charge of presumption in originating a measure while he was so little able to take part in measures brought forward by others, but he trusted that his firm conviction of the necessity of an alte ration of those laws, and the nature of his avocations, which gave him an opportunity of knowing the vexation and tnivety which those laws inflicted upon society, would be suffic:eot excuse for his venturing to offer a. few observations to the House. It would be in the tecollection of the Douse that in ISIS, a Committee was appointed to examine into the state of those laws, and to take evidence and snake a report to the House ; and although be should he much better pleased that this ques tion had been brought forward by the Honourable and Learned Gentleman (Serjeaut Onslsw) who had first advocated an alloration in those laws, and whose advocacy had done hint so much honour ; or that his Majesty's Go vernment had, by bringing forward this measure, redeemed the pledge which they had given when the report was made, still as Government had not done so he felt that he was not exceeding the province of an independent Member of Parliament iu bringing forward a partial measure, which would secure hint the support net only of those who advocated the general measure, but of those who, from a mistaken sense of duty, bad opposed a complete alter ation of those law a. Whatever might be his own defi ciency he felt great confidence when he looked at the evidence, and the report of a Committee composed of all parties, and at the names which formed the Committee. Out of twenty-one witnesses examined before the Committee, eighteen had given it as their decided opinion that those laws were inoperative for the purposes fur which they were passed, and were only operative for mischief, and ought to be repealed ; of the other three persons of a dif ferent opinion, one was Mr. Gurney, a gentleman whose opinion in matters of this kind was entitled to the highest respect. Although that gentleman at the time was opposed to the repeal of those laws, he had since changed his opi nion ; and had, with that candour which did hint honour, authorised hint (Mr. T.) to state to the House, that it now called to the Bar, or helot e a Committee, he would in consequence of the experience derived during a period of considerable pecuniary difficulty, namely, the year 18t5, give different evidence from what he had formerly given. As the Report of the Committee was clear and decisive upon the point, he trusted that Honourable Members would read it before they voted against his proposition. The report was divided into three parts—the first said that the laws were loaded and must continue to be so ; secondly, that they were most mischievous in their operations on so ciety; and thirdly, that the present time (1818) which resembles this year, when the rate of interest was lower than the legal rate, was the best opportunity for carrying the re peal. His confidence in the success of the motion was in -creased when be looked upon the names of the minority on the second reading of the Bill, and in the Com mittee. The names consisted of—the present Colonial Secretary, the President of the Board of Trade, and the Master of the Mint. In addition to those, be had the names of Government, with one exception, and if the House wished for more authority en the subject he must refer them to the words used by Lord Liverpool, in the House of Lords, in 1826. "He was aware that there were obstacles ex.• istingin ofthe way of abrogating thos e l aws , in con sequence their bearing upon particular interests, bat their Lordships must he satisfied that the day was not far distant when they must of necessity give their best con sideration to the subject. The question was one of diffi culty ; bat the present state of the law could not be de fended on any sound principle." Thetlon. Member then having said it was not his intention to go into a history of those laws which were not enacted upon any political or commercial, but merely upon religious grounds, at a pe riod when it was thought wrong to take interest for money, or to use the language of those days, when money was " a barren commodity, and could not fructify," contended, that if the object of the laws was to prevent prodigality, that object had failed, and most ruinous events had followed. He adverted to the advertisements in the newspapers for the express purpose of evading those laws, and to the case of Howard and Gibbs,who derived an income of 25,0001. a year, by lending money in evasion of those laws. As an instanee of the impolicy of interfering •by legal e nact- ment with the interest of money, the Hon. Gentleman slid that in Livonia, where he had spent part of his life, the market interest of money was 6 per cent., whilst the legal interest was also the same. The wise legislature of that country, however, thought proper to reduce the legal in terest from six to five per cent., and the c onsequence ww„ that the real interest rose almost immediately to s even per cent.—( Hear, hear.) He had been inform e d of a case which occurred in this country in 1816, and as it was strongly exhibitive of the mischievous eff ec t s of the Usury Laws, he would state it to the Mouse. A gen tleman of landed property, valued at 18,0001., wasted to borrow on it 8,0 00 /. ; but as he could get nothing in the market at fiv e per cent. h e was (Adige() o have The a rrangemen t was a long time in op eration, and it happened that before the affair was finally arra n ged , the price of s t oc k s rose t: o .e recourse to lend to an u sold consi derably, and the lender insist ed that the difference should be d a out annuity. to it c ) k . the u.e.. The gentl eman w h o h a d made u p by time borrower. The amount of the annuity was 7761. which was at the rate of ten per cent. per an num. The difference between the price for which the stock sold, and what it would bring was 1,200/. The law expenses amounted to 5041., so that the gentleman actually received only 6,2961. for the annuity. In Hamburgh, where the landed interest were still more in the habit of mortgaging their estates than here, there was no legal rate of interest fixed, and the consequence was, that it was in general snore steady than in other countries, though eometiinee, in cases of extravrdinary also, 'that during the panic in 1825, ao much as SC per •cent. was'given for money seemed on the publi He knew that in the city now, though good done at two and a half per cent., sniall tradcsm dhurged at the rate of 20 or 30 ; and he knew house alone which made 6,000/. or 6,000/. a such transaction& During the panic in ila the rate of interest ruse to 10 per cent. but as was no impediment from Usury Laws, the niaril 'found its leeca s and in the course of a few wee! interest felt to four per cent.

In fact, the penalty was nut only double tle on which the usurious transaction arose, it inclual other sums which could in any way be concreted witl transaction. There was but one security against the hart of suck a code, and that was, that their own aevelit , vented frequent convictions under them. Men coal be found to bring in verdicts in particular cases they knew that the same thing was done every day. commercial world. Under these circumstances, the which he should propose was to du away with that p; the law which voids the engagements entered into. any rate of interest above that which the law admit to change the present penalties, allowing persons a sue for the legal interest of five per cent. and not it. The immediate effects of this would be, to afford relief to persons whose necessities might require intuit assistance. The next advantage would be, that, th dividuala, being no longer liable to pay the enormous ties given by the present laws, but only the addition of interest above the legal rate of interest, would lie to advance money, on higher terms than the rate, to those individuals of whose moral charactse. were secure, and whom they believed to he too Ito able to take advantage of the law over them.. next, and perhaps the greatest, advantage of all was, it would put the transactions of coinnierce on a loon security, and would give them a stability which it wf possible they could acquire under the present law: B this, no one, under the amended law, would be at turn the misfortunes of individuals to his own profit to procure from them grinding cngagewents for $ term of years, because individuals thus called upon t money might at any time bring their cases into Cool get the usurious interest avoided.

Not the proper time ! Why, if there could be a proper time, it was the present. market-rate of interest on mortgages was only 4. per and on good bills only 2or 2 per cent.

The Honourable 'Member, recapitulating the chief advantages which be antic from this Bill, and after drawing a pathetic picture s misery, and poverty, and ruin, which the existing la flicted on many opulent and respectable persons in th of the panic, concluded by moving for leave to bring Bill to amend the laws affecting usury.—(Loud cr .$ Hear" from all parts of the House. ) The CHANCELLORof the EXCHEQUER.--N could have heard the able speech of the Hon.
