MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 11.)
SUGAR—To-day the West India Sugar market was
well supplied. At auction 283 hhds 35 tierces and 11
bris Barbadoes were sold at the previous currency; fine
yellow went at 393 to 405, good middling to good 36s 6d
to 383 6d, middling 34s 6d to 363, ordinary 32s to 348,
brown 31s; 60 Welds Demerara crystalized realised full
rates, fine went at 423 6d to 43s 6c.1, middling to good 38s
to 40s, and washed 333 to 393 6LI per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with a lively
home trade demand, brown lumps selling at 46s 6d, and
low to fine grocery 47s to 50s per cwt. Of Crushed
Sugar many parcels were taken for shipping at former
terms. _ _

MArrnirrius.-This afternoon the parcels of Mauritius
Sugar offered at public sale were large, and amounted
to 14,000 bags, but the whole sold; in some cases the
rates taken were, however, rather under those of Fri-
day; fine and superior yellow went at 36s to ails, good
343 6.1 to 35s 6d, low to mid 33s to 345, middling to fine
grey 33s 6d t0'363 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the public sales of Ben-
gal comprised 2,500 bags; white Benares, of which nearly
the whole consisted, went at stff rates, and realised 37s
to 40s for fine and superior, damp and washed 36s to
38s Gd; a small proportion of Khaur sold at 24s to
255, and ordinary soft yellow 25s Gd to 26s 6d; these
aro rather lower terms. The former value is barely
supported for Madras, and the public sales of 2,000 bags
went at 25s to 26s for middling to fine soft brown, at
263 6d to 28s for low to good yellow, and bettor aorta
293 to 303 6d. Penang realised the full value, and
2,200 bags at public sale all found buyers, ordinary to
good soft yellow 27s to 293, fine 303 to 325, and like
Mauritius 33s to 355, middling to good white 35s 6d to
36s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-To day there was again an active demand
for foreign Sugar, chiefly for shipping, but no further
advance has been established. Since Friday the opera-
tions are 3,000 chests yellow Havannah from 35s to 393
6d, and 25,000 to 30,000 bags clayed Manilla in bond at
19s 6d to 203 per cwt
COFFEE.-To-day Native Ceylon was in excellent re-
quest. At auction 672 bags sold at 433 6d for good
ordinary, and at 32s 61 to 40s Gd for damaged. Plan-
tation Ceylon met with a good demand and realised the
full currency. At auction 327 casks and 196 bags were
sold, superior realised 725, fine 63s 6d to 655, good and
middling 573 to 593, low middling 55s to 565, other sorts
503 to 553, triage 58s 6d to 69s 6d per cwt.
Cocoa.-Sales of Trinidad, fine red made at 39a to
443, good 363 to 38s, low to middling 333 to 355, grey
30s to 335, and Grenada from 29s to 345. There is yet
reluctance to operate in Foreign and a desire evinced to
sell at previous low terms. At auction 694 bags Para
were taken in at 255. The value of Guayaquil is 28a to
29s per cwt.
MorassEs.-To-day Molasses met with leis attention,
and at public sale 162 puns of Demerara Molasses were
taken in at 13s per cwt, being the former value.
TEA.-To-day several thousand chests of Tea were
sold at stiffer rates, and low to good ord Congou realised
8d to 9id per lb.
RICE.-Prices have not improved for Eaat India, but
the demand has been rather better. The private ope-
rations are 4,000 bags, and rates for good to fir? white
Bengal rule at 9s 93 to 103 6d, mid and good mid 9s to
Os 6d, Broken Ss 63 to 8s 9d, Cargo Bs, Madras, pinky
7s 93 to 8s 6d, Coringa Grain 8s 6cl to 9s; Pearl Barley
and American 8s 6d to 93, and Moulmein 9a to 103. At
auction 3,352 bags Java were sold at 103 6d to Ils for
good sound white. For Patna a good demand prevails
at 1 Is to 163, and town-dressed Carolina 21s to 27s per
cwt. Several parcels of Sago have been taken privately;
small Pearl at 15s to IBs, largo and medium 21s to 24e.
For Sago Flour the market is quiet at 14s, and Farina at
15s to lis per cwt. Of Arrowroot, supply keeps light,
and the rates paid for Bermuda are la Id, St. Vincent's
3117(1, Brazil and East India 111 to 2:11; orders are
on the increase for Tapioca, and rates for Rio range at
2d to 31d, Bahia and Para lid to 3d per lb.
INDIGO.-The quantity declared for sale was 6,171
chests in the A, and 1,185 in the B catalogue, total
7,356 chests; of which 255 chests were not printed, or
withdrawn previous to the commencement of the sale,
leaving the quantity to be brought forward 7,101 chests.
930 chests have passed the sale this day. The attendance
of foreign and home buyers was larger than usual in the
May sale. The first 400 chests in the catalogue were Kur-
pahs of European manufacture, and well suited for export
orders; they sold with considerable spirit at an advance
of 61 to 9d on the prices of the last sale. A few small
marks of dry leaf Madras followed, and went off un-
evenly at 4d to 6d advance. The latter part of the day
was occupied with a few marks of Bengal, which sold as
follows, as compared with the February sale's prices:-
Good and fine shipping 5d to 6d advance, middling 6d to
Bd, and ordinary 5d to 6d. Proprietors bought in 200
chests, leaving 730 chests sold.
SALTPETRE.-The market has a dull aspect, and there
is a more plentiful supply; a decline took place to-day
of is per cwt for the better sorts. Of 500 bags Calcutta
at auction a small part only sold, 6} per cent. good
quality at 283 61, Si ditto 275, and mid 10{ at 263.
Privately the lower sorts are offered at 24s 6d to 253 6d
per cwt. British Refined met with a slow sale at 29a
61 to 303, and is likely to be cheaper. Nitrate of Soda
is 14s 6d to 15s.

OlLS.—This afternoon the public sale of Palm Oil
went off at an advance, and 100 tons sold at 26s 6d to
27s 3d for good to fine quality.
TALLow.—Notwithstanding the time of year, and
heavy stocks, there has been a good business concluded,
and prices are higher on the spot; fine yellow Russian
realizing 363 9d to 375. A larger demand exists for de-
livery, and 37s 9,1 to 383 is now the value for the last
three months of the year. Home melted is dearer, and
sales are to a fair extent made at 36s 6d net cash. For
other sorts of Tallow there is also an advance. Of Aus-
tralian 320 casks at auction were nearly all sold—beef at
333 to 355, mutton 33s 6d to 363 9d; 166 packages South
American 33s 6d to 35s 6d; 46 casks grease 27s to 325;
and 72 casks Italian Tallow 363 to 37s per cwt. For
auction 700 packages are declared.
PRoTlSloNB.—Although new Irish Butter is offered
at low rates, yet operations have been upon a small
scale; fine Waterford at 75s to 785, Limerick 703
to 725, and fourth Cork at 58s, landed. Of Fo-
reign there is still a plentiful supply. There has
been a large demand ; Friezland, fine at 74s to
763, sarplus and seconds 60s to 703, Holstein and Kiel,
flue 76s to 783, Holland 68s to 70s, Goningen, 58s
to 603, inferior 50s to 543, and fine Leer 66s to 68s. A
good sale exists for English; fine Dorset 76s to 90s;
other kinds 58s to 70s, fine Devon 703 to 745, and fresh
7a 63 to Ils per doz-m lbs. Bacon met with a more
ready sale during the last few days, and rates
aro firm; Irish small meat at 49s to 535,
heavy 47s to 50s, Hambro' sizeable 49s to
545, heavy 47s to 48s, and Dutch 44s to 465. In Mid•
dies many purchases have been made at rates ruling
from 44s to 465. A lively demand exists for mess Pork,
and supply being light, rates have advanced, Irish prime
selling at 75s per barrel; and Bacon mess 72s 6d. Irish
India is much in demand and 1203 to 122 s 6d per tierce
is the value. Beef is wanted, and is in small supply; the
price of Irish India is 115 s to 120 s; mess 95s to
1003; American ditto 90s to 1003 a tierce. A free
sale exists for Hams; Irish from 46s to 58s; English
60s to 645, Westphalia 463 to 48s. There is a reluctance
to operate in Lard; Irish bladdered can easily be ob-
tained at 54s to 595, keg and firkin 4Gs to 523, Ham-
bre' bladdered 55s to 58s, and American 53s to 545.
Only a limited demand exists for Cheese; Edam 34s to
425, Gouda 318 to 40s, Kanter 18s to 183 6d, and Ame-
rican from 303 to 428 per cwt.

PETITIONS.

The Ezrl of HARROWBY presented a petition from
tho couitty of Deily in favour of tt.:e enfranchisement
of copy holds.
Ilia Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition from
Londonderry, praying for amendments in the criminal
14W of Ireland.
PENAL DISABILITIES REPEAL BILL.

On the motion of Lord LYNDIIURST this Bill
passed through Committee.
REPAYMEN r OF ADVANCES (IRELAND) ACTS

AMENDMENT BILL.

On tho motion of the Elrl of LONSDALE this Bir
was read a second time.

Lord REDESDALE, pursuant to a notice, presented
a petition from an individual, complaining of the inter-
ference of the Commissioners of Excise with the sale of
a preparation of mangel Wurzel or beet-root, called
books, and praying that it may be put on the same foot-
ing with chicory.
The Earl of DERBY said that there was no prohibi-
tion against the sale of this preparation so long as the
petitioner chose to call it by its own name; the only ob-
jection was to his mixing it with coffee and selling it by
that name.
After a few words from Lord RSDESDALM and the
Earl of WICKLOW the petition was ordered to lie on the
table.
MAYNOOTH.
The Duke of ARGYLL rose to present several peti-
tions from Scotland against the grant to May-
nooth. All these petitions proceeded on the ground
that it was morally wrong for us to grant sums of
money to support institutions for the propagation of a
religion which we did not believe to be the true one.
For his own part he must say that he did not concur on
this ground for the abolition. To his mind the question
was one of policy merely. He was deeply grieved to per-
ceive the course which had been taken by the great
constituencies of Scotland on this question in exacting
pledges from the candidates now canvassing to vote in
favour of this abolition, and he considered it to be the
duty of their Lordships, placed as they were above the
necessity of mingling with a popular constituency,
whenever they considered that the course which popular
agitation mieht take on any particular question to
be likely to ba dangerous to the public policy, to enter
their protest against it.
NATIVE INDIA.
Lord MONTE AGLE rose to present a petition on
the subject of the position and political rights of the
natives of India under the last Act for the renewal of the
charter.
