COMMERCIAL AND M.ABSET.%

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANE, SATVILDAY MOILVINe.
In the colonial markets this week a for amount of busi-
neu has been transacted, and prices do not exhibit any
material alteration. The sales of Sugar bare not gone off
briskly, and occasionally the low qualities have been
sold at a decline of 61. per elec.; for foreign de-
scriptions, however, there has been a gots' de-
mand, at full rates. Coffee has again Leen offered
sparingly, and holders have been enabled to sell at rather
advanced rates, especially for the Costa ltica sorts. The
demand for rice has not been quite so active ; but at public
sale yesterday white Bengal sold at extreme quotations.
The tea market Las scarcely maintained last week's im-
provement. A public sale is announced for Wednesday
next.

WOOL NIARKET.—THIS DAY.
The business doing in all foreign Wools is very limited,
especially fur the home trade. The Wools bought ut the
late public sales for the continent arc Leing shipped w ith all
speed, and the docks and wool wars houses are getting very
bare of Wool, go that it is a fortunate cirmunstance that the
present demand is not very active. It is expected with the
change of wind we shall have largo arrivals from Australia.
There is a fair stock or German Wool resting, and holders
are firm. Certain flocks iu Austria have lately been con-
tracted for, at much higher prices than they would fetch
here at tho present time. The imports of Wool into
London this week are limited to 87 bales from llamburgh.

COVENT-GARDEN.—TIIIB DAY.
Although the weather still continues cold, the market
is well supplied with vegetables and fruit; but trade is
dull. English l'ine•apples are plentiful, considering the
season. New Hothouse Grapes have made their appearance;
foreign ones are a trifle dearer. The best English Pears
fetch "rood prices. They are now confined to Beurr6 Rance
and Laster Beurre. Oranges are plentiful and good. Nuts
arc nearly the same as last quoted. Strawberries are still
supplied. Carrot., Turnips, Cabbages, &c., are sufficient
for the demand, and there is some fine Cornwall Broccoli

On the motion of Lord IiaDZIDLLI the report on this
bill, with ameudincnts, wee brought up and agreed to.
PRIVATE BUSINESS OF TUE HOUSE.
Lewd ILIMIDIDALI moved that no private bill shall be
read a second time after Tuesday, the 6th of July, unless
the chairman of the committees shall report to the house
special 111110001 for extending the tiros to any such bill.
Ilia lordship also snored that so bill, continuing any pro.
visional order of the Board of Health, shall be read a second

NOTICE OF MOTION.—TIIE CORN LAWS.
Lord NEAL:MONT gave notice that he should, on Mon-
day next, present petitions complaining of the injury which
the petitioners suffered in consequence of the uncertainty
which existed with regard to the intentions of the govern-
ment as to the importation of foreign corn ; and in present-
ing the petitions he should *veil himself of the opportunity
of asking the First Lord of the Treasury whether it wsa
the intention of her Majesty's government to le
commend to parliament any alteration in the present
policy regarding the Importation of foreign corn as soon
as another parliament could be assembled.
The Earl of ESSEX exproeed his regret that,
owing to indisposition on the evening when the
noble earl at the head of the government
stated his views and intentions, be was prevented
from saying how cordially he agreed with the noble earl
star him (the Earl of Aberdeen), when he declared, in his
usual straightforward manner, his entire adherence to the
commercial policy transmitted to them by that great
statesman Sir Robert reel. (these.) As regarded other
questions of • general nature, he should be most
happy to give his di•interestcd support to the
government, as lie would to any government, whenever he
felt that he could do so with satisfaction to himself. Most
firmly and strongly, however, should he oppose them at
that or any future time if that' proposed the re-imposition
of a duty on corn, great or small be it, for the purpose of
revenue or protective. (Mar)

EAltLi DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.
Lord LYNDHURST wished to call the attention of their
lordships to various important measure', many of which
were connects) with the reform of the law, now pending in
that and the other house of parliament. And ho
wished to do this in consequence of reports in
circulation arising from the catheting of a piety
yesterday and partly in consequence of the congregation
of certain agitators—he used that title because they assumed
it to themselves—assembled for the purpose of endeavour-
too, by the influence of large numbers and certain pecu-
niary subscriptions to &considerable amount, to effect if
possible the speedy termination of the present parliament.
Now, their lordships were aware that it this parliament was
to be terminated in April, it was impossible that • future
parliament again &wattled for business could meet until
the close of the month of June or the beginning of July ;
sad it would follow that the measures to which he was goinq
to advert, or the greater part of them, swot be postponed
to another year, which he conceived would be cons tiered
by toe nation as • great misfortune. First, as to the pri-
vate blamer sow depending before parliament, it appeared
this year to be greater than on former occasions, for there
were no less than 210 bills of • private nature to be
brought before parliament. Many of them applied to local
districts of great eatent—several of them to societies and
oesociatiessa, consisting of large babas of persons and
thictilchendillff very !ROM pecuniary isterests. He
would leave it to tide keihipe to consider what
great deter. ineonvesimook and impasse would arise

LEGAL REFORM. - -

The LOUD CHANCELLOR, who was throughout eery
inaudible, said it might be expected that he timid take
the earliest opportunity of stating what the intentions of
the government were with regard to the measures of law
reform which bad recently been brought forward. He
believed there never was an occasion when these whammed
to reform the law had a fitter opportunity than the present
of carryin; their views into effect. One of the chief inessures
of legal reform had been proposed by a commission, wisely 11
directed and executed by learned men, and they had been
matured to • considerable extent by the late goverment,
than whom, he believed, never did a set of men exist es
ready to carry into effect a reform of our civil institutions.
One of the bills was called the Suitors in Chancery Relict

The LORD CHANCELLOR could not quite adopt the
words of his noble sad learned friend. It we impossible,

Lord Chancellor) might use the expression, become his own
