THE LU

ECTION.

Mr. J. Brookes Revis entreats of his Connection and
Friends, that they will, in a Fpirit of common justice,
delay their judgment upon the part he is now taking against
the Tory Aristocracy of Shropshire. The Reports of the
Proceedings before the Ludlow Election Committee,
~'iven in some of the newspapers, more particularly in
the Conservative journals, are most dishonest, as will be
proved when a full statement—supported by documentary
it'd personal evidence—is completed end submitted to the
Public.

Mr. Revis does not desire to claim sympathy from
those who cannot show it without an appeal ; but he fuels
that many for whom he has entertained the highest senti-
ments of respect, and who have not been made acquainted
with a few of the oppressive and most distressing c►rcum-
stances of his early life—now raked up for the mere gra-
thication of malice and revenge—may form conclusions
from the representations alluded to, which they would re-
gret, after all the.fiicts have been placed before them.
Perhaps it would be only fair, in the present stage of
the proceedings, that it should be borne in mind that
Mr. Revis stands aloes against the whole force of the most
powerful party, in point of wealth, in the country ; that
this wealth is now employed to crush him. They have
iisve once sacrificed him, and would do so again. All the
despicable machinery of a desperate faction arc in full
work ; and it can only be conquered by him, and ulti-
mately used for the confusion of his oppressors, from a
thorough sense of the justice of the motives by which
he is actuated.

Mr. ltevis assures his friends that he has perfect reli-
ance upon the propriety of the course he has pursued, and,
he may add, upon the righteousness of his cause ; and
that he shall come out of the severe ordeal to which he is
now subjected, in a manner that they will be rejoiced to
v:tness.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

From the London New Price Current of April 14. )

SUGAR.—Since our last report a good demand has pre-
vailed for British Plantation Sugar, for grocery as well
for refining purposes, and the prices paid are Is above
those of this day week, the purchases have amounted to
1,300 hhds and tres,:and they would have been to a greater
extent, had the market been better supplied. At auction
68 hhds 6 tres, &c. Barbadoes sold at 67s to 69s Gd for
middling to good quality.
This afternoon the advanced rates established towards
the close of last week were fully maintained, and an ex-
cellent demand prevailed from both the refiners and
erocers ; the purchases amounted to 700 hhds and tierces.
There was no public sale.
REFINED.—There has been a large business doing in
Refined goods for home use, at prices Gd to is above those
of last Tuesday.
To-day Refined goods sold freely for home use, and
standard lumps are now fetching 81s 6d to 82s. Pieces
and Bastards go off well at our quotations. Treacle is
in good request at former terms. Bonded crushed Sugar
is in active request at 34s 9d to 35s per cwt. 200 hhds
Dutch crushed have been sold at 31s on board at Amster-
dam, and the same price refused for 250 hhds, 31s 6d
being required.
MAURlnes.—This afternoon there was a lively demand
and the whole of 6,928 bags at public sale were:readily dis-
posed of at full former rates for yellow kinds, and at 6d
advance for brown sorts ; fine yellow sold at 68s to 69s 6d,
good 66s 6d to 67s 6d, middling to good middling 64s to
665, low middling 63s to 63s 6d, middling greyish 635, fine
brown 62s to 62s 6d. middling to good 598 to 61s 6d, low
middling 57s to 58s per cwt.
EAST IN DIA. —Of Manilla none has been offered at auc-

tion, Refiners have taken 9,000 bags at 22s 6d for low yel-
low : the stock here cmisists chiefly of the better qualities,
for which 22s to 93s 6d is required. Siam, at previous
rates. For Java, previous rates have been maintained;
Bengal, prices have advanced Is.
FOREION.—This afternoon the market was quiet for all
descriptions, but prices remain firm. At public sale 2,026
boxes yellow Havannah were all taken in 6d above previous
rates, viz. good quality at 26s to 26i 6d ; good middling
25s to 25s 6d ; middling and low middling 24s to 243 6d
per cwt.
MOLASSES.—For West India prices have assumed an
upward tendency ; Demerara, good at 33s 6d to 34s ; St.
Vincent's, middling 33s to 33s 6d ; Barbadoes, fine 375,
ordinary 35s 6d : atlauction, 86 puns fine Barbadoes fetched
37s to 373 6d per cwt.

COFFEE —the trade have shown more desire to pur-
chase the better kinds of British Plantation of clean qua-
lity, but the quantity remaining in the merchants' hands
being very small, have prevented transactions of moment
by private treaty, and none has been offered at auction.
Jamaica of good middling quality has been disposed of in
small quantities at 1355, low and unclean sorts, however,
continue exceedingly dull of sale, and prices are still un-
certain.

This afternoon the merchants showing a disposition ge-
nerally to accept the late reduced prices occasioned a much
better demand for Coffee for home use ; sales in good and
fine ordinary Ceylon were made privately at 90s to 925,
and good ordinary Java at 70s to 75s : at auction 3,370
bags St. Domingo from the Cape were all sold, good and
fine ordinary at 513 to 565, ordinary mixed 47s to 495, da-
maged 48s to 535, which prices are 15s under those when
the market was at its highest. 100 bags fine colony Rio
were taken in at 525; and 38 casks very unclean fine ordi-
nary Berbice at 98s ; 31 casks clean Jamaica fetched its
full value, viz., fine middling 1365. The demand for Fo-
reign is limited, but prices are firm ; 940 bags Rio at auc-
tion only partly found buyers at 47s to 48s for fine ordinary
being its full value. The home market closed with deci-
dedly a more lively appearance.
TEA.—In the middle part of last week there was only
a limited business doing in Tea, and prices declined to
2s 2/cl to 2s 3d for Company's Congou cash ; common free
trade was freely offered at 2s 2d, and Twankay at 2s 3d to
23 3id per lb; even at these rates, however, few parties
were disposed to purchase, and the business done was almost
exclusively confined to parcels for money. During the
last few days, however, there has been a much better
inclination shown to do business, and holders have dis-
played more firmness. In Company's Congou the trans-
actions have been extensive in cash parcels, and prices have

advanced to 2s 6d to 2s 6id for long and short prompts a
good many sales have been made at the improved rates of
23 7d to 2s 7iel, and upon these terms it is now
difficult to buy ; the heavy prompt which fell due on
Friday having been partly
,met and arranged, has
greatly relieved the market. For free trade Congou
and Twankay the demand has been brisk for money
parcels, for actual consumption as well as speculation, and
prices have advanced 2d to 3d per lb, the former in large
parcels have been disposed of at 2s 4id to 2s sd, for
common and middling blackish leaf kinds at 2s sid to 2s
6d, the latter has been disposed of to some extent at 2s 51c1
to 2s 6d. In Hyson of common quality a good many
purchases have been made at an advance similar to
that noticed above, 2s 8d to 2s 9d having been cur-
rently paid. In free trade Tea there has not been
much business doing for prompts, still the demand is
decidedly on the increase, and there are now few sellers
of common Congou under 2s 6d, and Twankay 2s 61d
to 23 7d per lb. The trade are still kept in the dark as
to the actual quantity of Tea which can be received from
China before the armament can get there from Bombay;
by some of the letters it is calculated at 7,000,0001b5,
st all events if all the Tea ships lying there could get
cargoes it is estimated the largest quantity of Tea
they could briag would not exceed 14,400,000113 s;
the future state of prices will mainly depend on
the quantity of Tea available at Canton for England, and
upon which subject little is at present known even amongst
the merchants. The stock in the kingdom on the let inst.
was reduced to 45,000,000ibs ; last year at the same
period it amounted to 49,000,0001b5. The deliveries of
Tea during the last week have amounted to 326,000ih5.
To-day large purchases were made in free trade Congou for
cash, and prices are rather higher, for common 2s 5d has been
currently paid, and there is nothing now to be had under
that figure, excepting very low quality not better than
Bohea. Twankay has been taken freely, and prices
have advanced to 2s 6d for common quality. In Com-
pany's Congou a good deal of business was transacted for
money at 2s 61d to 25 6d. Fur prompts several parcels
were disposed of, common Twankay at 2s 7d, ordinary
Congou 2s 6d to 2s 6id, and Company's 237 d to 2s 8,1 per
lb. The sale has been fixed for the 22d, and consists of
only 915,7751b5, 185,320 of which is Canton Bohea,
299,616 Congou, 9,576 Souchong, 3,055 Ning Yong,
3 901 Caper, 8,650 Orange Pekoe, 450 Hung Mucy, and
black leaf Pekoe, 9,600 Flowery Pekoe, 123 622 Twan-
kay, 3,534 Hyson Skin, 133,802 Hyson, 16,424 Young
Ilyson, 38 571 Imperial, 78,463 Gunpowder, 1,191 sorts.
This afternoon for cash parcels thema was an
excellent demand, and the prices left off at 5s 51(1,
for common clean Free Trade Congou, 2s 6d to
2s 6i-d for ordinary brightish leaf Twankay, and 2s -61 d for
Company's Congou. It was reported in the Tea Market
to-day, that an objection would be raised as to admitting
the cargoes of the Alexander Baring, Eliza Stewart, and
the Ann shortly expected with tea, it being placed on
board on Howqua's account ; we cannot, however, trace
this to any authentic source.
SALTPETRR.—For Rough the demand has become very
limited ; at public sale 6000 bags Calcutta were nearly all
taken in 6d under former rates. English Refined has
sold well at 30s 6d in hhds, and 31s in barrels.
011.s.—Common descriptions of Fish Oils since we
last wrote, have been at lower rates, 261 15s to 271 having
been accepted for Pale Seal, and 2815 s to 28/ 10s for Cod.
Southern and Elephant's Oil taken in at 241 to 251 for
good to fine quality ; Sperm tine quality, is not generally
to be purchased under 1081; for Linseed Oil, prices have
declined to '23s 6d to 23s 91 on the spot. Rape previous
rates have been nearly maintained. Palm at 35/ 15s to
361 for fine quality; East India Cocoa Nut, 42s 6d to 435.
Silicas.—A good demand has existed for Pimento, or-
dinary and very coarse quality fetched 3d to 31e1, mid-
dling and good middling bright 3:13 to 33,1 ; middling to
gc.od middling quality at 31d to 31d; and ordinary and
very mixed at 3,1 to 30 per 1b; Cas ia Lignra low and
mid quality at 803 a 82:, and fine thin quill at 904. At
auction 28 chests sold at 82s for middling description.
East India Ginger has been much sought after, and
rather higher rates offered. Middling Bengal for ship-
ping at 18s for cash ; 19s 6d for middling mixed small
clean Bengal, and ordinary wormy Malabar 16s 6d to
17s. Good Malabar taken in at 20s. For West India
prices are improving. Jamaica at 4/ to 71 38 for low to
good middling. For Black Pepper former rates have been
I maintained.
TALLCW.—The transactions in Russian Tallow in the

middle part of last week were on a small scale on the spot
as well as for delivery, and prices gave way a little ; the
stock being ,nearl) all in the hands of one party, he has
succeeded in getting his own price, viz., 523 6cl to 52s 9d
for first quality. For delivery in the last three months at
49s 61 to 49s 9d. Town Tallow has been in good request
at public auction, 150 casks Odessa sold at and after the
sale at 50s 61 per ewt ; privately, several parcels have
been disposed of at 50s 6d to bls 3d per cwt for good
quality'.
