like Mauritius 30s to 345. Madras of soft quality is lass
wanted. and must be quotsd rather lower; at public
sale 1.700 bags were sold, sat brown went at 21s ad to
23 6d, ()sit and mid yellow ditto 24s to 255.
FOREIGN.—To-day further parcels of yel ow Haven-
nab were sold by private treaty, mostly for exportation,
and full rates were obtained. Of Manilla 500 bags at
auction were, however, taken in at 32s for clayed, being
above the value.
COME.—This afternoon several purchases were
made privately in Native Ceylon, and good ordinary
was not to be obtained under 38s 6d per cwt.; at public
sale 197 bags sold at that rate. For Plantation Ceylon
there is an increasing demand privately at full rates,
but et auction 114 casks (seconds) were taken in above
the value, mid to good 52s to 565, low mid 485 to 50s,
other sorts 42s to 47, triage 35s to 41s, and per berry

attention, and at public sale 235 bags were sold at firm
rates; fine red went at 39s to 42s 6d, low to good 33s to

TEA.—A slight improvement has occurred in the de-
mand for Congou this week; there is, however, no de-
crease of supply, and merchants are desirous to sell at
previous low rates; old quality can be obtained at 7d to
7id, good ord 8d to Sid; blackish leaf 9d to lOid;
fine and Pekoe kinds lld to is sd. Some pals of low have
been taken for shipping. Oolong is not offiring at a fur-
ther decline; yet operations have been small low to mid at
8d to 10d, and good to fine lld to is 3d. In Souchong
sales are trifling, although good to fine can be obtained
at lld to is 6d, and low to mid 8d to 10d. In Pouchong
rather more business is doing at 4d to 6d. The low and
mid qualities of green are in brisker request at previous
valuations; but transactions in good to fine are small,
with sellers at last week's terms; there is no decreaos
in supply of either. Prices for Hyson rule for low to mid
quality at is to is 2d, good to fine is 3d to 2s, superior
2s 2d to 2s 7d; Young Hyson, ord 10d to 11d, mid to

to fine selling at Is to 13 7d, low to mid 8d to 11d.
Flowery Pekoe is still difficult of sale; fine and choice
at is 8d to 21 Bd, and low to good is to Is 6d per lb.
RICE.—To-day the demand for East India Rice was
not better by private treaty, and 900 bgs of Bengal at
public sale were only in part sold at 9s 6d to 10s per
cwt for mid to good mid white, being easier rates.
SPICES.—To-day Pepper was in active &eland, and a
publi,• sale of 3,200 bgs went at stiff rates; Malabar shot
at 4d to 4id, Tellecherry clean 3d to 3id. Penang

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS:
The LORD CANCULLOrt took his seat on the Woolsack
at Five o'clock.

THE MEGJER.A.
Lord MINTO wished to explain a misapprehension as
to the statement which he had made the other night. It
had been represented that he had blamed the meter of
the ship for not keeping in the middle of the
Cl:mnnE.l instead of putting into Plymouth for
shelter.. Fie certainly had blamed the master, but it
was for'not putting into some nearer port; he never
could hare supposed that it would have been butter for
him to keep in the middle channel. The master had,
however, fur purposes of his own, predetermined to go
into Plymouth, and he had Warned him for doing so
in defiance of the state of the i‘eather, 4.nd
thereby putting the soldiers to great inconvenience.
He had made this explanation in consequence of a letter
which had appeared in the public prints, written by a
certain individual, who, of course', had been led away
by the misztatement he had seen, of his (the Noble
Lord's) speech. He did not blame the reporters for
their misrepresentation, but he attributed the error to
his own imperfect method of expressing himself.
Lord REDESDALE said it was perfectly clear that
the master had gorse to sea wilbovrz a sufficient stock of
provisions, thinking that he might buy them cheaper at
Plymouth.
