MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, June 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a decrease in the demand
for West India Sugar for all purposes, but holders re-
fused to submit to any further decline. The sales
amounted to only 160, making for the week 2.270 hhds,
&c. The market also closes with a quiet appearance.
For public sale next week 150 hhds Barbadces, 160
hhds Trinidad, 2,000 bags Bengal, and 4,000 bags of
Mauritius Sugar are declared.
REFINED.—To-day the home demand is less active
for Refined Goods, still in the value little variation
transpired. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with a brisker
sale for exportation at 293 6d to 30s 6d per cat.
sale,{
afternoon there was a good de-
mand for Mauritius Sugar: at public sale 4,000 bags
sold at former rates; the best yellow, however, went
rather cheaper—good to fine at 39s to 40 6d, low and
middling 38s to 384 6d, good am' fine brown 36s 61 to

low 44s to 455, and white 46s to 503 per cwt.
MOLASSES.—Former rates are well supported for West
India, and a fair business had been done; the quantity on
offer is also less than forsome time past, and holders dis-
play firmness. The value of low to fine quality is from
18s to 23=. Bengal Treacle met with a fair demand at
17s to 17s 6d, and there are not free sellers; the con-
sumption also continues to get larger. A decine in the
value cf Honey has taken place.
FoREIGN.—To-day there was little passing in the
Foreign Sugar market, and none was offered at public
sale, still lower rates were not generally accepted. For
the week the private sales are a cargo of brown Pernams
at 18s 9d, and one of Bahia at 20s per cwt.

cellent demand, and at public sale 1,184 bags sold at full

cwt for fine bright red; the value of grey is 27s 6d to 28s.

TEA.—Theriis no advance to record in the value of
Congou, but the demand has been much better this
week, and holders are less disposed to so-11. The
value of ord and good ord is 7id to Sid, mixed black
isd leaf 9J to Ioi, blackish leaf Ild to Is, ditto
strong is Id to Is 3d, and Pekoe flavour is 3d to

Is 9d. Sales to a fair extent have been made in Souchong
at 2s to 2s 9d for fine, and other sorts at 8d to is 9.i,
but Pouchong met with a slow sale at 6d to Bd, still
the supply is not larger. There has been rather
more desire to operate in green, but better prices are
not offered, and the supply at market is still large
of all sorts. We quote Gunpowder, Canton made
at is 4d to is 741, Ilyson kind Is 81 to 4i, Imperial

FRIIIT.—OhIy a moderate business has been conclueed
in Currants; still holders remain firm, and require 35s
to 40s. For Rai-ins the market has become quiet and
more desire is evinced to sell Valencia at 42i, and Deniu
at 31s to 32s per cwt.
t•.PIRITS.—The rates asked for East India Rum are
is 2d to is 3d per gallon proof, but the demand has

several buyers rather under totmer rates. Demerara is
offered rather under former prices; still only small par-
ed' have been sold, and is 10d to 2s 2d is the value of 28
to 40 per cent over proof. Fine Jamaica is still in small

supply-, and wanted by home dealers and exporters
whilst fall rates are offered. The market is dull for low
and middling sorts, whilst prices are on the decline. We
quote 19 to 29 per cent over proof at 2s to 2s 3d, 30 to
36 over 2s 4d to 3s 3d, and superior 3s 4 to 4s per gallon.
Brandy continue s in excellent demand by home dealers,

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS,
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. •
SALE OF BEER ACTS.
The Earl of HARRO WBY gave notice that he should
on Monday move for a Select Committee, to consider the
laws regulating the sale of beer.
DEFECT IN LEASES BILL.

This Bill passed through
ACoDmAm.ittee.
Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that on Monday
week he should draw their Lordships' attention to the
affairs of Canada.
CASE OF MR. RYLAND.
The Duke of ARGYLL rose to present to petition
from Mr. R) land, and to draw the attention of the House
to the circutnaquices of that gentleman s case. This
gentleman's father had been mentiored by successive
Governors of Canada as deserving well of his country,
and he had been appointed Clerk of the Legislative
Council of Lower Canada_ This office had been after.
wards confern d on the petitioner, who had been ap
pointed by Lord Durham, and his appoin•ment had
been selected under the great seal of Canada. This ap
pointmeni had not been re-ported to the Colonial-office,
on learning which Mr. Ryland applied to the Colonial-
taco) for the issm- of the usual warrant under the sign
manual; the answer of the Marquis of Normanby was,
that the appointment had not been reported to his pre-
decessor, Lord Glenelg, hut, that if the then Govt-rnor
of Canada should approve of his appointment,
he might confirm it on the understanding
that if on an union of the two Provinces his
office should be considered unnecessary he was not to
be considered as entitled to compensation. Afterwards
Lord Sydenham became Governor General of Canada,
aced be received a letter from Lord John itasaell) at that

to resign his office, which he aid, on the Understant,
lug that he should be appointed to another
office. He was app•inted to another office,
the emoluments of which were not equal to those of the
office of Clerk of the Legislative Council, but the Go-
vernor undertook to make up his emoluments to such a
sum as should be equal to the income to which he would
have been entitled as a retiring allowance for the office
which he was about to lesle, after twenty-four years
of public service. On this understanding he accepted
the office of Registrar of the diistrict of Quebec.
Six months after his acceptance of this office he found
the expenses of starting that office to be so much, that
he applied to Sir Charles Bigot for an advance; and in
answer to that note Sir Charles Bigot acknowledged
the guarantee of Lord Sydenham, but declined making
any advance until the lapse of his first year of office,
when the emoluments of the office should be as-
certained. Sir C. Metcalfe became Governor of
Canada before the lapse of the year, and
to him Mr. Ryland applied. The answer of Sir C.
Metcalfe was an acknowledgment of the claim, but a
distinction that he had no means in his power of meeting
it, and referring Mr. Ryland to the Provincial Parliament.
