Oil is less required, and prices have declined
For Palm prices have slightly given way, and
the stock been further increased, but a good business
has been transacted. Linseed Oil is little required for
home consumption at present, whilst only trifling parcels
have been taken for exportation. For forward delivery
few buyers are to be met with. The market is better
supplied with oil, but the consumption does not decrease.
Prices are very remunerating to the crushers, and are
above those of last year by 3s to 3s Gd. Holders of Olive
evince firmness, and the demand is on the increase.
Lard Oil in small quantities fetched 43s to 495, and
African ground Nut 41s to 425. For all sorts of Fish
Oils prices have ruled firm, although there are again
large arrivals, whilst others are near at hand, and the
Lock here being heavy, but the consumption is going
on satisfactorily. Pule Seal has been in excellent
request. In Southern purchases to a fair extent
have been made upon former terms. Sperm does
not improve in value, but there is a good demand.
There is stil a plentiful supply. The value of Head-
' matter is 87/. to 88/. Seal and Sperm are lower in place
than last year, but Southern is higher by 40s to 50s per

Commons, having but very lately declared that they
thought the sliding scale essential for the interests of the
country; yet, when a wise Minister declared that the
corn-laws should be repealed—(Great cheering)—l have
seen them follow that Minister, and utterly forfeit the
pledges they had given. I think, therefore, gentlemen,
generally speaking, that pledges are not for the credit of
those who give them, and they tend nothing to the se-
curity of those who require them.—(Cheers.) But,
gentlemen, I will say further, that standing in the posi-
tion which I do as the Minister of this great country, I
should think myself undeserving of that trust if I
fettered my own hand, and were not at liberty
to give to my Sovereign at any time that advice which
I think most conducive to the public welfare.—(Loud
cheers.) And now, gentlemen, I will only say further,
that I think pledges which have been required on the
subject of Roman Catholic endowment are peculiarly
unnecessary— (Cheers)—J3ecause, as far as I am ac-
quainted, there is no intention of proposing any measure
tor that purpose to Parliament, nor do I know that there
is any probability of its being proposed.—(Cheers and
counter cheers.) Thus much, gentlemen, I have said,
but I must say further, with respect to all these subjects,
that I think the Roman Catholics are fully entitled to all
the privileges which the rest of the community possess.
I and that a man's religious opinions should be no bar to
his obtaining that to which he would otherwise have a
fair and just claim.—(Great cheering). Now, gentle-
men, with respect to general subjects I can only profess
that which I have always professed—that I am upon the
one hand zealously attached to the institutions of the
country —and, upon the other hand, I wish to see those
institutions from time to time conformed to the spirit of
the age and to the advance of knowledge and liberty—
an advance which must take place.—(Tremendouscheers.)
Gentlemen, I ask you then for your suffrages upon the
ground of the general agreement of our opinions.—
(A Voice—" No endowment.") I will not be bound to
endeavour to make every opinion of mine—to make
every advice which I may give to the Crown—to make
every measure which I may propose to Parliament
square with the opinions which may be the prevailing
opinions among my constituents. All I say is, I trust
that th, re is identity in our general opinions. I think
that you would gain no advantage by having merely
servile representatives, to exercise no judgment of their
own-11 h° will not venture, if the occasion calls for it,
to state what in their opinions the safety of the country
requires, and trust to that country to confirm or to
reverse that opinion.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I stand, as
I said, in a position which is one of great responsibility—
one of great eminence—but one which is by no means
one of ease or pleasure.—(Cheers.) It has been asked
poetically

tun.
TALLow.—Althou.l.h Russian on the spot is offered at
a further reduction in prices of Is to is 6d per cwt, still
the amount of business transacted has been to a small
extent only. For fine Petersburgh yellow Candie
47s 6 I to 48s are the prices taken, and at which there is
a desire to realise. For forward delivery little has been
done. Home made moves off slowly at 47s 6d to 48s on
the spot, and the supply, is large. Other sorts met with
little attention, and are offered upon lower terms.

" What is grandeur, what is power,
But heavier toil, superior pain ?"
I confess, however, with that very " toil"—with that
" superior pain"—there are charms in power to which I
do not profess myself insensible. It is a charm to be
able to advance in any way the prosperity, to promote
the interests, or to enlarge the liberties of such an
empire as the British empire.—(Loud and protracted
cheering.) It is for such objects, pursuing my own
conscientious course, taking counsel always from
all that public opinion can teach me, of that
which is just among an enlightened public, but
judging of that opinion with the force of my own un-
derstanding, however imperfect that force may be ; but
thus judging, and by the dictates of my own heart, and
the results of my own understanding, I shall endeavour
as I have hitherto endeavoured, to promote those great
objects.—(Loud cheers.) And as in former days I have
had the honour of moving and carrying the repeal of
those disabilities which affected the Protestant Dis-
senters with degradation—as in former days I have had
the honour of opening to Manchester, to Leeds, to
Birmingham, and to the vast proportion of the house-
holders of this country the power of the franchise, while
at the same time I succeeded in disfranchising Gatton,
Old Sarum, and other seats of corruption, so it is in the
same spirit that I shall hope in the future, if elected by
your suffrages, to endeavour to subserve the best inter-
ests of the country.— (Loud cheers.) It will be for you,
gentlemen, to decide. So long as I can hold power—so
long as I hold the post of being a representative for the
benefit of this great country, I am content, and even will-
ing to hold it ; when I can no longer do so, I shall refer
with proud satisfaction to my having acted with a pure
conscience in every respect.
The Noble Lord sat down amidst loud cheers, which
lasted for some minutes. When the cheering had par-
tially subsided,
Mr. PATTISON came forward, and was received with
renewed cheers, and stated that the meeting had heard
the speech of his noble colleague, which he believed
would not soon be forgotten ; and when they would read
it to-morrow in the newspapers, they would think over
it again and again. For himself, the Hon. Member said
he had but little to say to the meeting. He was
as he had always been, except that he was a
good deal older.—(Cheers.) The Honourable Member
then proceeded to state to the meeting the course which
he had telt it his duty to adopt with respect to the prin-
cipal measures which had been recently brought before
the public.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by Sir G.
Larpent, and Baron Lionel de Rothschild, who having so
recently publicly addressed the electors upon various
occasions, their sentiments must, of course, be well

lower rates, but the demand has been less active for all
kinds, and only a small amount of business has been
transacted during the last few days ; still common
quality cannot be obtained under 9d, and good
common 9id per lb cash ; there is not a large
quantity on offer of any sort. - Pouchong is dull

Cloves were all sold, but a fall in prices of Id per lb.
SPIRITS.—There are still willing sellers of all descrip-
tions of Jamaica Rum, and the rates accepted show a
further decline of 2d per gallon, making the fall from
the highest point of the market this year of is 3d to is

11%J PERI A L PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The House met for public business shortly after Five
o'clock.

A message from the Commons brought up several
Bills, and another message requested a conference with
their Lordships, with respect to the Lords Amendments
on the Poor-law Administration Bill. The conference
having been granted, on the return of the messengers, on
the part of the Lords,
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE stated that the
Commons agreed with some of the Amendments, and
and disagreed with others. •
BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
Lord BROUGHAM then rose to call the attention
of the House to the manner in whibh the business of
Parliament had been conducted during the present ses-
sion. He did so with no factious design. His intention
was to bring under the consideration of their Lordships
the course Legislation had pursued during the preseut
session, and in doing so his only object was to gather
lessons for the future, and
.prevent Parliament from
undergoing such another session as that which was
now about to close. He would call their Lordships' at-
tention to the ,measures that had been introduced,
those that had been withdrawn and those that had
passed. Of the latter he felt bound to say that he had
never known a session in which such calamitous mea-
sures had passed. Of the English Poor-law Bill which
they had passed this session he could not say much.
Another measure was the Poor Relief(lreland) Bill. How
long that measure was to last he could not say; but he
believed, that in bringing it forward, they were only
putting off the evil day. It was one thing to give relief,
and another, after they had taught men to be beggars,
to withdraw it.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Three o'clock.
LORDS' AMENDMENTS.

The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were
considered and agreed to:—

Birkenhead (Commissioners) Dock Acts Amendment
(Construction of New Docks and Alteration of
Culvert).
Birkenhead Commissioners Docks Acts Amendment (as
to Construction of Sea Wall along Wallasey Pool).
Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction
Railway Deviations.
Royston and Hitchin Railway (Sale or Lease).
THIRD READINGS.
The following Bills were read a third time and passed:
—Dean and Chapter of Westminster's Estate—Jesus
Hospital (Newcastle) Estate—Passingham's Estate.
Mr. REDHEAD YORKE presented a petition from
a person employed under Dr. Reid, praying for the pro-
duction of certain documents relating to the ventilation
of the New Houses of Parliament.
Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from Brixton,
praying for the repeal ..f the Septennial Act.
TRINIDAD.

In reply to a question from Mr. HUME,
Mr. HAWES stated that instructions bad been sent
out to Trinidad, directing that the island should be
partitioned out into districts, w►th the view of esta-
blishing municipal government, which might here-
after become a foundation for the erection of a General
Legislative Assembly.
