MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 15.)
SUGAR.—To-day proceedings in the Raw Sugar
market were of a satisfactory nature, and in some cases
better rates were obtained for Colonial, notwithstanding
the large amount of bag Sugar submitted to public
competition. West India WAS in excellent demand for
home-trade purposes, and former rates were well kept
up for all sorts. A public sals of 150 hhds Barbadoes

prices ru'e at 52 6d, and for standard lumps 53s 6d.
Bonded Crushed Sugar has been dealt in with caution for
former rates.

FOREIGN.—There is firmness on the part of holders of
all sorts of Foreign Sugar. For export the demand
continues to get brisker, and the rates paid aro rather
above those current on this day week. Bonded refiners
made purchases with greater freedom, and for home-
trade purposes there is a brisker sale. 'The private
operations have been a cargo of brown Bahia at 20.5, one

cepted. The market for Green has assumed a quiet as-
pect, and the supply is more plentiful; there are also
sellers upon rather lower terms. For other sorts of
Tea the market has a dull aspect, acrd prices are on the
decline.

MOLASSES.—There is a fair demand for West India,
and full rates are paid; the supply is also small of all
sorts, and 18s to 22s per cwt is the value of low to fine.

desire is shown to sell common at is 9d to is 103
and fine at 23 3d to 33 3d; the supply also continues to
get larger, end lower rates are expected to prevail. For
British made Spirit the value is 9s 83. Gin 8: 33 for 22
per cent under proof, and 10 under at 8s 9d per gallon.

amount is on offer. The value of low to fine quality is
from 27s to 29s per cwt. The market for British refined
is quiet, and 32s to 323 6d Li the value. For Nitrate of
Soda the demand is dull at 12s per cwt, and holders are
willing sellers.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Woo;
sack at Five o'clock.

RATE IN AID (IRELAND) BILL.
The report upon this Bill was brought up and ordered
to be received. _

PETITIONS.

The Earl of STRADBROKE presented several peti‘
Cons complaining of agricultural distress.
The Bishop of CA6HEL presented several petitions
against the Rate in Aid Bill.
ri STANLEY presented several petitions coal-
plait ing of agricultural distress.
CANADA.

The NOBLE LORD asked if the Government had re.
ceived any further information with regard to events in
Canada, than bad been received by the usual sources of
public information, and whether the Government had
received any information as to the outbreak in that colony
of the most formidable of all wars. -awar of races? Whether
they had given any instructions to the Governor as to
his conduct, or whether he acted without instructions, or
with instructions, the Government were responsible.
Earl GREY had received a dispatch from Lord Elgin,
which, when the House next met, he would lay on the
table of the House. It showed that Lord Elgin had
acted throughout with his accus'omcd judgment,
pruder ce, and good sense. That dispatch was
written on the 30th of April. It appeared that a
serious riot had taken place in Mentrcal, and the
Parliament House had been burnt. ILO had no
reason to cpprehend that there was any war of races,
on the contrary, he believed tranquillity had been re-
stored. He was prepared to take all the responsibility
that belonged to his office, but he believed that the re-
sponsibility rested as much with the Noble Lord as
with any other person, for the proceedings in the, House
had contributed in no slight degree to exacerbate
the ill feelings in that colony, and he trusted the Noble
Lord would remember that there was a responsibility
attaching to the opposition.
Lord STANLEY said that no Government had ever
profited more by the responsibility resting on as oppo-
sition than the Government opposite; but no taunts or in-
vectives would induce him to ceae to exercise that
liberty of speech which was the privilege of every
member of their Lordships' House; and he would repeat,
was Lord Elgin left to act en his own judgment, or had
he instructions from the Government?
Earl GREY thought it would be inexpedient to enter
into explanations until the dispatch was laid on the
table. With respect to the Indemnity Bill, he had ad-
visedly 1,-ft Lord Elgin to the exercise of his own judg-
ment. Ilia rule w:s in such cases always to Icave the
Governors of colonies to act in this manner, and to
transmit the Biils to the Government, with any reports
they may thick proper thereon, for the consideration of
the Government.
Lord REDESDALE said it should be recollected this
Bill was a Government Bill, renewed by a Legislative
Council, to which a number of persons had been ap-
pointed who had before been in favour of such a
measure.

Tha Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose to order. He
considered that the discussion should be postponed until
the dispatch was laid on the table.

Earl GREY said that the alteration in the Legislative
Council had taken place in September last, and entirely
irrespective of this measure.
Lord BROUGHAM asked the Noble Earl if the rule
was the same in Canada as in this country, that no
money Bill could be introduced without the assent of the
Crown.

Earl GREY said the coasent of the Crown was neces-
sary before the Bill could become law.

PETITIONS.
Lord REDESDALE presented a petitiou, complain-
ing of agricultural distress.
The E.trl of WINCIIELSEA presented several peti-
tions, with a similar prayer.
Lord SONDES presented. several petitions with a
similar prayer.
The Earl of WARWICK presented several petitions
with a similar prayer.
