MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—There have been but few purchases of foreign
either fors hipment or the home trade, but the holders
are not disposed to sell under last week's- quotations. The
quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the
East and West India Docks was 1,732 hhds 241 tieroes
514 barrels. There were taken for home consumption
1,136 hhds 103 tierces 287 barrels. The stock in the same
places is 9,326 hhds 1,598 tierces 3,131 barrels. The stooks
in London are larger than at this time last year. Refined
has been well supported, with a limited supply. Brown
lumps 44s Gd, and low to fine grocery 45s to 495.
To-day there was a fair demand for British plantation.
sugar from grocers and refiners ; the rates obtained were
equal to those of Friday for both brown, yellow, and grey.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was operated in with
caution for home trade purposes, and rates are less firm—
brown lumps selling at 445, and low to fine grocery 44s 64
to 495.

COFFEE. —The demand has been for native Ceylon at
full rates, and Plantation is taken both for home use and
exportation.
COTTON.—The market is firm, with fair sales.
CINNAMON.—At the quarterly sales buyers do not act
at all freely.
TEA.—There is no alteration, but a fair business has
been done both in black and green.
TALLOW.—There is a firm market for Russian, and a
larger demand exists from consumers and speculators.
Prices rule for first sort P.Y. C. en the spot at 65s 6d to
665. and delivery in last three months of the year at 68e to
68s Gd per cwt. Home melted sells freely, and cannot be
obtained under 65s cash although there is a fair supply. Of
other sorts the quantity on offer is not ample for demand,
and the prices paid were for Australian, fair to fine mut•
ton Gls to GGs Gd, Beef 60s to &is, and South American 608 to
Gds 6d per cwt. Stock of tallow is more than last season
by 14,000 casks ; and deliveries are 4,000 less ; rates rule
higher by lie to 12s per cwt. For auction on Friday 600
casks of tallow are declared.

OlLS.—There are few buyers of seal, and prices have a
I downward tendency—pale selling at 391 to 401, and other
sorts 351 to 381 10s. In Cod little doing, and 381 lOs to 391
accepted. Demand is not better for Sperm, and there are
sellers of mid to fine quality at 102/to 103110 s. In Southern
larger operations at 381 to 401. Of Palm many trans-
tions have taken place, and mid to fine quality realised 45s
to 48s. Cocoa nut in good request—Cochin landed at 49s
6d to 50s, and other sorts 45s to 495. Olive sells readily_
Gallipoli at 571, and other sorts 51/ to 551 per tun. Prices
aro again depressed for linseed oil, 34s 6d to 35s having been
accepted for present delivery; there is now, however, a
good demand. In lard oil larger operations at 53s to 553,

to the discovery at Boston
of a fresh case analogous to that of Mr. Schuyler, the
narty being Mr. Edward Crane, president of the Ver-
?Dont Central Railway, a new line recently in course of
construction. The over-issue in this instance has been
to the extent of 8,000 shares, nominally of 101. each.
With regard to the robbery from the safe of Messrs.
Belmont and Co., nothing further had transpired, except
that the cashier implicated had been discharged from
custody, on the opinion of counsel that there were no
sufficient materials for a successful prosecution.
Numerous investigations were in progress to calm
the prevailing apprehensions respecting the possi-
bility of defalcations in other railway companies, and a
committee appointed in connexion with the New York
and Erie line had already reported satisfactorily con-
cerning that undertaking. The question as to the
liability of the Newhaven Company for the 400,0001. for
false certificates put forth by Mr. Schuyler continued to
be a subject of keen discussion, but no steps had yet
been taken on any side to bring it to a legal issue, and,
unless speedily compromised, it will probably furnish for
years the materials of a costly contest for all parties. In
connexion with general business there was nothinct:

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY.—In moving for the
papers and correspondence of which I have given notice,
I must take the omortunity of vindicating myself and
my honour against a charge which has, been made by
another person in another place seriously affecting my
personal honour and character for veracity. I feel, my
lords, that it may be of little importance to the world at
large what may be the character of so humble an in-
dividual as myself, but, as a member of your lordships'
house, it is a matter of some importance that I should
stand erect before you, and either refute the charge
which has been made, or submit to the contumely which
its confirmation would inflict upon me. I am able, my
lords, to give the flattest possible contradiction to every.
item of the charge which has been made. It will be
within your recollection that some time ago I made a
statement in which I mentioned that during the trans-
actions of the Board of Health a meeting was held at
which a certain noble lord was present, at which I myself
was present, and at which other commissioners were
present--that the noble lord made a proposal, and that
that proposal fell. The noble lord stated that it fell in
consequence of not being seconded. My assertion was
that the term " seconded" never occurred—that it never
was seconded—that the term never was used—that the
peopo-al was made, and that it was met by myself. In
opposition to this, I heard a statement made yesterday
by the noble lord in these words :
" He had gone to the board on several occasions; he went
to them, for example, on the ash of January, 1851, at the
request of the Goveniment in pecial case. • . He went
30th
the Board of Health on this subject. This was on the 30th
of January, 1851. The board read to him a long letter of
seven pages,
which they had prepared, and in Which they
argued the point with the Treasury. Thereupon, as the
minutes recorded—' Lord Seymour moved th ,t a letter

Mark the words ! This is the way in which the noble lord
strikes down another man's honour, and endeavours to
erect his own. He solemnly affirms, in opposition to
my former statement, that I was not present. In the
&et place, I give my word of honour solemnly, and in
7the most emphatic manner that a gentleman can do, arid
under the most solemn obligations of an oath, that I was,
present. I give my word of honour that I
was the per-
son who spoke upon the subjectcolleagues
, and that my colleag
said not a word. The noble lord has committed himself
by specifying the date. It is possible that there might
have been a day on which I was not present; but ha
specifies three times emphatically that upon the 30th of
January, 1351, he went to that board—that he made a
proposal—that I was not there—and that I speaking on
bay honour, when I assert that I was there, have asserted
that which is untrue. Now, I state first, uon m word
of honour as a gentleman, that I was therep. Boar next

The SPEAKER took his seat at the table a few minutes
before twelve o'clock, but he did not take the chair
until 25 minutes to one, there not having been a suffi-
cient number of members present to mike " a house."
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the North Metropolitan
Bill, and the British Guarantee Association (Nu. 2)
Bill, were considered and agreed to.

Mr. George Hartshorn, the occupier of a house in
Seymour-street, Euston-squire, appeared to object to
an improvement rate ordered to be levied on the pre-
mises for three years, to defray the expenses of some
improvements executed under the authority of the com-
missioners, and amounting to 211. He handed into
the court a schedule containing eight objections to pay-
ing the rate, the chief of them being that he was liable
under clause 88 of the Sewers Act for only one-fotirth
of the amount charged. He had paid a former rate,
and had deducted three-fourths of it from his next
payment of rent ; but Mr. James, the landlord, denied
his pay any portion of the amount, and
had sued for
t
t theo whole rent due, and di-trained upon
his goods. He had brought au action against his land-
lord, which was now pending, and if he were called upon
to pay a second rate he should be oblized to commence
another action to recover it from Mr. James. He had
been put to 401. expenses already.
Mr. James, who was in attendance, said that he un-
derstood when he was last at the court that he was not
liable for any of this rate. A pretty warm altercation
arose here between the disputants. Mr. James ex-
pressed a suspicion that Mr Hartshorn was of " un-
sound mind ;" and Mr. Hartshorn replying that there
were two of them there.

The Chairman stopped the dispute by peremptorily
desiring the parties, if they had any question to
put to each other, to put them through the
chair. Mr. James could not have been informed
that he was not liable to this rate, as the court. had
always refrained from expressing an opinion as to the
interpretation of the 88th clause. The commissioners
did not sit there to give advice, but to enforce the !aw.
Mr. James was wrong to go to the expense of defending
these actions ; for as his tenant paid a rack-rent he was
entitled to claim back thiee-fourths of the whole rate
ftoin the landlord. The parties, however, must arrange
that amongst themselves ; the court must order pay•
went. _

Mr. Hartshorn urgently requested the court to sue
Mr. Lines, but was informed that the bUsiness must go
on in the regular course.
Both parties then withdrew.
The Court directed orders to issue on vestry clerks
for copies of poor-rates as bases for district sewer rates.

THE ORDNANCE MAPS.
Sir J. Burgoyne wished to know,whether the profit
on the sale of these maps went to the board or to the
commissioners?

y
The Chairman replied th:it it did not.
Sir J. Burgo
the commissioners of sewers ever paid the Ordnance for
the survey ? ne said that that was a hard case. Had
The Chairman said they had not. (A laugh).
The Court adjourned, after some further formal busi-
ness.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—This a'ternoon the South
American and General Steam Navigation Company's
screw steain-ship Braziliera, Captain Cox, sailed from
the Mersey for the Braz.ls, with a full complement of
passengers
and cargo on freight. She will call at Lisbon
and Madeira. The Lulstania, Captain Brown, with the
immeward mails, is now filly due and hourly expected.
ELECTRICITY AND ITS USES: NEW DISCOVERY.—In
the last number of the Revue des Deux Mondes is an
ex-
cellent article, entitled " L'Electricit4 Ouvriere," by M.
Babinet, member of the French Institute, enumerating
the various effects already produced through the agency
of electricity,
whether artistic, scientific, or industrial.
The learned writer traces his subjint through all its
electro-
phases, physiological, philosophical, chemical, motive
power, light, heat, telegraphic, smelting, and working
of ores for the separation of in tals, moleculaire action,
plating, galvano plastic, &c. The whole article
is one which. every lover of electricity will read with
pleasure, and does infinite credit to M. Babin'et.
At present, the chief, and almost only means em-
ployed in all the various uses to which electricity
has been applied, is the Voltaic agency, which is of too
troublesome and expensive a character to admit of elec-
tricity being more universally used than it is, and un-
doubtedly would be, were a cheaper and easier medium
obtainable. We are confidently assured that this desi-
deratum is on the eve of consummation, and that a
newly-Invented magneto-electric machine has lately been
seen in operation in Onslow-square, Brompton, which
overcomes ail the difficulties hitherto felt, by producing
an immense quantity of fluid at little cost, and less
trouble. Many scientific persons who have seen the
machine speak highly of its astonishing powers and
merits ; and predin; that through its agency electricity
will assume its high rank and proper position among the
industrial agents of manufactures, trade, and commerce:
We hope soon to lay before our readers a more detailed!
amount of this important discovery.
