THE MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of last night.)
SUGAR.—The refiners and grocers have purchased West
India Raw Sugar very froely, paying an advance on previous
rates of fully Is. ; the sales during last week amounted to
2,000 hhds. and trs. Jamaica of brown quality sold as high
as 635. to 645. The stock of West India Sugars is now
10,078 hhds. and trs., being 520 less than list year The
stock of Mauritius is now 89,009 bags, which is 27,110 less
than last year. The delivery of West India last week was
2,373 hhds. and trs., which is 371 more than last year. The
delivery of Mauritius was 8,768 bags, being 145 less than the
corresponding week of last year. The stock of British Plan-
tation Sugar is to-day 520 hhds. and tierces less than last
year; next week it will be the reverse, but the increase will
not be very material ; but the probable change appears to have
some influence on the minds of the buyers, for there is much
less disposition shown to purchase, and the estimated sales this
afternoon were only 500 hhds. and trs., at fully the prices of
Friday. The public sale this afternoon of 141 hhds., New
Barbadoes sold readily at former prices, and in some cases,
even at an advance of 6d., low middling to fine bright gro-
cery, selling at 655. 6d. to 695. There have been several ar-
rivals from the Indies since Friday, 12 vessels, with 3,810
hhds. and trs. and 60 barrels, principally Jamaica. T\he ad-
vance in the price of refined goods last week, was Is. on the
grocery descriptions, and Is. 6d. on the shipping qualities ;
there was a very brisk demand by the home trade, the cnqui
ries by exporters were considerable, but owing to the scarcity
of goods that would pass the standard, the actual transactions
were confined to 200 hhds. of lumps for crushing, at 85!., long
price, which is 445. on board, and also some small parcels of
fine crushed at 445. 6d., but those prices have since b-en of-
fel ed and refused. For Dutch crushed Sugar fee delivery,
425. 6d. is asked. This afternoon refined goods to pass the
standard continues scarce, the shippers are f oely olicring 85s.
6ci. for lumps, which is 445. 6tl. on board, but at these prices
the refiners are not sellers. This afternoon 42s ,was offered
for Dutch Crushed Sugar and refused.

EAST INDlA.—There is a good disposition shown to buy
East India Sugars, but owing to the supply at market being
small, extensive transactions have been prevented ; the pur-

vious rates of Is., and consist of 600 bags Siam, by private
contract, 355. to 375. for middling white, 200 baskets Java,

sales arc 500 bags Brazil at 525. to 525. Gd. for good ordinary,
and 1,800 bags St. Domingo ,at 535. For Floating cargoes
of Rib 555. is wanted. One reason for the decline in the
prices of Ceylon Coffee is ascribed to the letters from
that place, stating two vessels loading with Certificate
for Coffee, and would sair the end of January, and of
course entitled to entry at the low duty, and will probably
arrive early in next month. The public sale of 781 bags Brezil

price has not transpired, but it is above 4s.

good by private contract, and the public sale of 98 begs went.

PROVISIONS.—There has been a great demand fur Bacon
and prices have advanced 25., 523. paid for parcels of fine
small sizeable Waterford on board and landed. Irish Butter
meets with a steady sale at fully the pricess quoted, but owing'
to the stock!, in first hands being light, and there being few ar-
rivals from Ireland, extensive orders arc prevented from
being executed; there is a steady business doihg in Dutch at
fully previous rates, notwithstanding the great supplies. In

no alteration in the quotations for forward delivery,
but
the market is stilt very dull. This afternoon Tallow sold
for nrriral at 455., beirg.." 3'l. to 6d. lcwer ; on the spot
small sales at 445. Contrary to general expectation, To-wit

crease in the home supply.

criurch of Villeneuve le a fcty days since, a lighted taper
accidentally fell on some drapery, and in a very :,.Mort time
everything in the chapel was destroyed. Arnon,rst the objects
most, to be regretted i 3 the loss of a beautiful°stained glass
painting of our &mei, of the 14th century.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair this evening at the usual hour.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

Colonel SIBTHORPE wished to ask a question re-
lative to the Great Northern Railway, on which the
House had come to a decision last night. He thought
when the Noble Lord brought forward the question, he ( Colo-
nel S.) had settled the line proposed by Mr. Gibbs, but he
found this gentleman appeared before the Committee this mor-
ning, claiming to be heard as a party bringing forward aline in
the next Session of Parliament. It appeared, however, instead
of killing the snake, he only scotched him—that he was not
killed, only kill.—(Laughter.) He wished for Ithe opinion of
the Speaker, whether or not Mr. Gibbs had a right to be heard
before the Committee. If so, any individual might come be-
lore them, and certainly if one dead man must be heard, any
living man had an equal right to be attended to.
Mr. WARD, as Chairman of the Committee, begged to say
that they acted on the belief that the meaning of the sixth
resolution was to give the public the benefit of knowing
the merits of every line, whether before or intended
hereafter to be brought before Parliament, but with the dis-
tinct understanding that Mr. Gibbs could not expect any
Legislative sanction for his plan in the present session of Par-,
liament.
The SPEAKER sad the meaning of the 6th resolution
evidently was to give the public the benefit of knowing
the merits of every intended line of Railway.
Mr. JEPH SON begged to ask for information-sake, whe-
ther a Committee was not bound by the six resolutions of the
House to report on any line of Railway, the plans of which
were submitted to them, in accordance with the regulations
laid down.
The SPEAKER said that questions of this nature ought
to be left, in a great measure, to the discretion of the Corn
mittee.
