6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with a better
sale at 28s 6d to 29s per cwt, and the market has a
firmer aspect.
Ms.narrins,—This afternoon the market was more
freely supplied with Mauritius Sugar, and at the public
sales prices declined 64 per cwt for grocery sorts, whilst
refining kinds nearly
esustained the former value. The
total quantity amounted to 7,339 bags, and
nearly the whole sold. F3B:cadnd very fine yellow went

to 36s for good quality. For arrival, however, 5,000 bags
have been sold at 35s to 35s 6d.

for common to good. The value of limed is 2s to 2s 9d.

well supported, whilst 60 pkgs at saction all found buyers
at 515 s to 81 Ils for mid to fine, and inferior 775. Su-
perior sorts of East India are wanted, and would command
stiff rates, but there is still a scanty supply for exportation
kinds; the market is quiet, and 21s to 26a is the value, still
there is not a larger supply. African is in fair request at 33s
to 38s, and is rather scarce. For Cassia Lignea there is a

holders remain firm, and ask fully former rates, as home
trade deliveries continue upon a large scale. Geneva is
held with firmness at Is 9d to is 10d for ord, and fine at
2s 3d to 3s 3d per lb. To-day Rum was dealt in with
greater readiness, and at stiffer rates. Proof Leewards

this day. Before the opening, and during the progress

passed the sale to-day. Good and fine sorts went off
heavily, averaging barely the last sale's rat, s; mid and
detective sorts from 3s 3d to 3s 9d, however, have been
in lair demand, and may be quoted 2d higher, whilst ord
and low remain without alteration. A tew chests of
Madras and Kurpahs brought the last sale'e valuation.
TaLtow.—There are few purchasers of Russian on
the spot for town or country consumption, and a desire
is evinced to sell fine P. Y. Candle at 384 to 38s 3d per
cwt, whilst prices tend downwards. Fur delivery in the
last three- quarters of the year sellers arc ready to ac-
cept 383 6d to 38$ 9d, still few buyers are to be met wi. h.

26s to 28s 6d for ord to good. Lard Oil is dull of sale
at 36s to 40s.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
INCLOSURE BILL—EXTENSION OF POWERS.

This Bill passed through Committee on the motion of
the Earl of CARLISLE.
SITE FOR SCHOOLS BILL.

On the motion of Lord REDESDALE this Bill passed
through Committee.
The Bishop of ROCHESTER presented petitions
from the clergy in his diocese complaining of the manner
in which tithes were rated to the poor.
The Bishop of LLANDAFF presented a petition with
a similar prayer.
FORTPATRICK AND DONAGHADEE.

The Marquis of CLANIIICARDE Laid upon the table
papers relating to the packet service between these ports,
and also to the service between Belfa,t and Glagow.

NEWFOUNDLAND.

The Earl of lIARROWBY presented a petition from
the colony of Newfoundland complaining of the in-
juries they sustained in consequence of the high bounty
given by the French and Americans for the fishing by
the ships of their respective nations on the coast of
Newfoundland, and praying that the House would take
measures to prevent the encroachment of foreign nations
in their fishing grounds, and fur relief from the pecu-
niary burdens imposed on the colony.
POOR-LAWS (IRELAND).
Lord MONTEAGLE, who during the time he was
speaking, turned his back to the gallery, was understood
to complain of the inaccuracy of certain returns made by
the Irish Poor-law Commissioners.
RIVER PLATE.

Lord COLCHESTER rose to put the question of
which he had given notice, in relation to the affairs of
the River PLte. He wished to know what was the pre-
sent state of our negotiations with the Government
of Buenos Ayres relative to the pacification of the
countries bordering on the River Plate?

The Marquis of -LANSDOWNE had every reason to
believe that the negotiations were proceeding favourably,
and he had hoped that ere this he should have been
enabled to announce the conclusion of a treaty, but the
delay had been occasioned by a well-founded
hope that the French Government would join
in a treaty which would secure the future tranquillity
of the countries bordering oa the River Plate, and he
had every hope and expectation that such a treaty would
be speedily concluded.
Lord HOWDEN hoped the House would excuse
the apparent irregularity of which be was guilty
in addressing their Lordships on this occasion ; but
as his conduct, in regard to those negotiations, had
been attacked, he hoped their Lordships would permit
him to defend himself.—(Hear, hear.) It was not his
debire to drag their Lordships back to the commence-
ment of the intervention, because ho could never discover
when it originated. Each Government seemed to be
desirous of escaping from the responsibility of the
commencement of an intervention which had turned out
to be so unsuccessful. The commencement of the
quarrel was the refusal of General Oribe to suffer
Argentine prizes to be confiscated in Monte Videan
ports—that was to say, that he refused to permit the
property of an ally to be confiscated and sold in his
ports.
