were so, he apprehended that he laid a strong specific
ground for a re-consideration of the question. He would not
now argue the strength and importance of that ground ; that
could be only done when they came to argue the case itself.
He would snow from the evidence that the warrant for
the city rate was not made till the 16th of January,
whereas by the presumption of law it should have been made
on the Ist of December, and that no legal list was returned by
the Treasurer as required by the 12th section of the Act. He
could not well state the grounds without being opento a charge
of unfairness from the other side. He should also mention that
there was a requisition for a list, but that there was no list as
required by the Act.
Mr. YOUNG said his opinion was that Le might shortly state
his facts.
_ _

Mr. AUSTEN proceeded to do so as above given. •
Mr. TH ESSIGER was heard in opposition, and at the conclu-
sion of his observations, the room was cleared; and the Com
mittcc, after deliberation, resolved, " That no specific grounds
have been adduced sufficient to induce the Committee to re-
consider their resolution of the 14th instant."

The Committer then adjourned till to-morrow (this day)
at twelve o'clock.

THE MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of last night.)
SUGAR.—There has been a very animated and general de-
mand for West India Raw Sugar from the grocers and refi-
ners at prices Is. above those of last week ; the sales during
the last three days have averged 1,000 hhds. daily; the quo-
tations are now fully equal to those previous to the holidays,
and a shade higher for the low qualities for the pan ; at auc-
tion 141 hhds. of Barbadoes of the new crop sold with spirit at
645. 6d. to 68s. 6d. for mid to fine quality, being 6d., and in
some cases ls. higher; Demerara good strong brown has
fetched 61s. to 625. ; Grenada and Jamaica from 625. 6d. to
645. ; Antigua good and fine grocery 655. to 683. ; some of
the refiners have contracted for British Plantation Sugar for
delivery, and 160 hhds. have also been taken for export at 395.
Since Saturday, there has not been a single arrival from
the West Indies. A public sale of 130 casks new Barbadoes
is advertised for Tuesday. At the close of the Market this
afternoon, the estimated sales of the week were 3,300 hhds.
and trs., the prices Is. to Is. 6d. higher since the holidays.
There has been a great deal of business done in Dutch Crushed
Sugar at 41s. 6d. ; the sales this week are nearly 300 hhds.,
but the owners are not further sellers at that price, and for
the parcels now offering in the Market 425. is required. The
inquiries by the shippers for English made goods have been
very great, but owing to the stocks in the refiners' hands being
still extremely small of goods that will pass the standard,
much business has been prevented from being done, and the
sales are confined to small parcels of double Crushed at
425. 6d. to 435., but at that price there are now no sellers ;
435. has been offered and refused. The grocers have been
purchasers to some extent of the scale descriptions at ad-
vanced prices. This afternoon the inquiries for fine Crushed
were considerable at 435., but the great scarcity goods pre-
vents much business from being done ; at the long price 84s.
has been paid ; at the close of the Market that price was re-
fused.
