MARKET INT ELLTGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Allrch 14.)

Suoart.—The prices of West India
.have undergone no
change, but the market has become rather quiet, the grocers
and refiners having purchased rather sparingly, particularly of
the ord descriptions ; the total purchases have been only
F 600 hhds and trs: at the present prices there is little
disposition evinced on the part of the iMporters to ; the
the market is still scar.. ily supplied with the good and fine yel-
low descriptions; there has been no pullie salt! of Barbadoes,
nor is it expected that any will be brought forward for some
some time ; the deliveries last week have again exceeded those
of the corresponding one of last year ; prices are nor 7s.
under those of last season; for a small parcel of chyrstalized
Demerara 70s. has been obtained.

This afternoon the pries remained firm, but the Market was
quiet, the Grocers and Refiners evincing very little disposition
to purchase. The purchases have been only 500 hhds. and ti;;;,.
The stock of West India Sugar is now 12,889 hhds. and
trs., being 500 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 59.555 bags, which is 10,191 less than last year, (in-

last s ear. The delivery of Mauritius was 7,605 bags, being
303 less than the corresponding week of last year, (including
the East India Dock. )
The Market for Refined goods has become quiet, both shippers
and grocers evincing little disposition to purchase, but owing to
the supply of goods xt Market b:ing short, they have been com-
pelled to pay full prices; small parcels of Lumps that would
pass the standard have been taken for the scale at 81 to 825.,
and those rather urukr at 89g., and ticule Crushed at 38s. to
39i. for immediate delivi ry. For Treacle there has been a good
request, and the prices remain firm. Bastards have met with a
steady sale. There is still nothing doing in Dutch Crushed
Sugar, and the price remains as previously quoted.
MAURITIT'S.—The prices previously obtained have been
fully supported, but there has been less disposition evinced on
tt.e part of the buyers to purchase, and 6,152 bags went off
without spirit, but all found buyers, ord. brown at 525. to

ment there has been rather more demand ; the supply at

inquiry after white Siam of good quality, but in the ab-
sence of public sales, and there being very little offering pri-

Cochin China, rather lower prices have been accepted, 1,500
bags having been disposed of at 20s. to 225. for ord. white and
damp yellow, and I9s. for grey ; for Manila there has been
no request, the supply at Market being for the most part of
ord. quality ; 2,000 bags, principally sea damaged, are adver-
tised for auction to-morrow.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Miw 13.
POLICE MAGISTRATES.

Mr. E STCOURT felt it necessary to ask a question of the
Noble Lord the Secretary for the Home Department, in con-
sequence of the office he held a few years ago as Chairman of
the Police Committee. That Committee had investi-
gated the whole case, and had recommended that
no police magistrate should , he appointed except from
the gentlemen of the Bar. That practice had been laid
down, and, he believed, had been invariably acted upon.
A few days ago, he saw in the usual channel of in-
formation, that the Noble Lord had made one appoint-
ment, and that the Gentleman had not been brought
up to the Bar. He wished to know whether the report was
true ; and if so, why the Noble Lord had departed from thal
invariable practice of the office in such appointments?—( Hear. )
-Lord John RUSSELL said it was quite true that a gen-
tleman had been appointed to the situation of a Police Magi-
strate who had not been brought up to the Bar. He had acknow-
ledged the practice, and he considered that it was better that it
should be adhered to ; but circumstances might make it advi-
sable to depart from it.— ( Hear, hear.) When Mr. Codd
applied to him, he refused to appoint him, on the ground
of his not having been bred to the Bar. Upon that he sent
him (Lord John Russell) many recommendations, and re.

;1...f0l Ilia: to Mr. Seniol. and Mr. ;_.'tepile:is, ti:c Co-
lonial Office, who both declared that he was a man emi-
nently fitted for the situation, as he had had much expe-
rience on the Bench in Kensington. He (Lord J. Russell)
asked for a return of the cases over which he had presided ;
they were examined into by the Under Secretary, and the Re-
port was perfectly satisfactory. Under all these circum-
stances, he had been induced to depart from the usual practice.
Mr. ESTCOURT would inquire whether the Noble Lord
intended now to abide by the practice, or would he again de-
viate from it ?

Lord J. RUSSELL thought it would be very desirable
to adhere to the practice; at the same time he would ask the
Hon. Member _if he was aware of the thousands of persons
who were tried and transported by gentlemen who had never
been brought up for the Bar. _
