CORN EXCHANGE.
There is still a suspension of business here, on account of the conti-

The public sales advertised for to-day, were of Groceries very slender
indeed for a Friday, consisting only of a little British Plantation Coffee,
and some Barbadoes and Bengal Sugar. The market is in much the same
state as it has been all the week-none but the most needy buyers in R. B.
P. Sugar wears a finer appearance, and has secured more business until to-
day, when it was more quiet. We should think that there had been
about I,boo hhds. and Ire sold during the week when we lett. The
article we could not quote higher, but it was firm. Brown, 595, and
6s. 6d. ; Lew to good Yellow, 625. (Id. and 635. 6d. ; Fine, 645. 6d.
and 655. 6d. Refined Sugar is languid at 395. Od. for fine Crushed.
Coffee ; Ceylon must be quoted higher, 83s. having been paid for good
ordinary. British Plantation is quoted at 78s. to 102 e.; for good and
fine ordinary 104 s. to 108 s. for low middling and middling ; and 100 s.
to 1245. for good middling to fine. Bengal Sugar is firm, and to us
it appears that it will be higher. The quotations when we
left were 50s. to 641. for the brown and yellow, and 611 s.
to 675. 6d. for White. Tea continues brisk, and looking up. Rice,
Cotton, Cocoa, and Spices, are securing no public business. There is a
rumour that extensive business has been done on speculation in Saltpetre
at about 295. per .cwt.- Rum is very firm. The imports of produce
are scarcely worth speaking of; and the business advertised forward in
the Market is mostly Spice, with some sales of Cinnamon. i
There is a further sale to-day of some Canadian Quebec Yellow Pine
Timber, but it does not come on until late in the evening.

It will be seen from our Parliamentary Report that in an-
swer to a question from Sir Robert Peel, " whether it was the
intention of her Majesty's Ministers to institute any inquiry
relative to the combinations of workmen now going on to such
an extent in all parts of the kingdom," Lord John Russell
said that the subject was one which had engaged much of his
attention, but that he could not give a decided answer to the
question of the Right Hon. Baronet until he had seen the Lord.
Advocate (who is expected in town soon), and heard from him
various particulars as to which he was yet uninformed. The sub-
ject is one of great importance, and, as soon as the Canada
question is disposed of, must occupy the attention of the Le-
gislature. We wish to see the rights of all classes respected,
and the-labour of the poor man being his property, is as much
entitled to the protection of the law as any other property.
But we contend that the right of the poor man is invaded if
unions be allowed to subscribe funds to be disposed of by
secret societies appointed for illegal purposes. There is, un-
fortunately, but too satisfactory evidence that secret societies
in Glasgow and Dublin, at least, have employed the funds at
their disposal in hiring men to commit murder. . The in-
dividuals belonging to the unions affect a horror of murder,
and no doubt very few of them would themselves be
guilty of murder. 'But. we cannot understand how
such individuals can reconcile it to their consciences
to contribute sums to secret societies, when, though per-
sonally they may not be cognisant of the horrible applica-
tion of the money, they yet are sufficiently aware of the pur-
pose for which it is required. No unprejudiced individual can
read the reports of the proceedings at Dublin, in which Mr.
O'Connell has acted so honourable a part, without becoming
satisfied that the trades of that city, so far from looking on mur-
(ler with proper abhorrence, seek, by all manner of disgraceful
subterfuges, to abet the system. This must not be. Is this a
moral and religious country, and yet these things suffered to
continue. —Morning Chronicle.
