(From the London New Price Current of May 15.)
SUGAR.—The scanty supply of British Plantation Sugar
is much felt by our Refiners as well as grocers ; they have
been very desirous during the last two days to purchase all
descriptions, but more particularly brown and middling
yellow sorts, and have offered prices equal to those of Fri-
day last, and in some cases even rather above, but owing
to the cause above stated buying has been much restricted.
New St. Vincent's at 725, middling grey and Jamaica of
strong quality 703, and from that downwards to Gss for
very low brown Berbice.

This afternoon the small quantity of Sugar on show
prevented purchases of moment, either for grocery or re-
fining purposes. The sales amounted to only 100 libds
at stiff prices, making the rise 6d during the week, and
800 hhds and tierces disposed of.
REFINED.—The home trade bought sparingly of Re-
fined goods in the early part of the week, and prices gave
way 6d to is per cwt., but during the last two days
they bare shown more desire to do business, and there
has been a good demand for all descriptions' of goods.
Prices have improved, and are now equal to those of this
day week, standard lumps readily fetching 86s to 86; 6,d
good and fine Titlers 87s to 89s Gd, mid to good brown
lumps 83 a to 85s 6d, low ditto 81s 6d to 828 6d, and there
is nothiug of patent goods now to be had under 553 6d
per cwt ; the supply is very small, few of the refiners being
at work.

To-day Refined Goods sold freely for home use, at the
rates quoted above. Pieces, Bastards, and Treacle at
former rates. Bondedcrushed at 34s 6d to 343 9d per cwt.
Mauer-rtes.—This afternoon there was a good demand,
and 5,691 bags at public sale were all disposed of with
avidity at prices fully equal to those of Wednesday, and even
rather above in some cases for brown and mid yellow sorts,
fine yellow fetched 70s a 72s 6d, good 69s a 69s 6d, mid-
dling 68s a 68s 6d, low 67s a 67s 6d, fine brown 66s a 66a
per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal was in active re-
quest by the home trade, and 1,400 bags at auction sold
at full prices, fine white fetched 72s a 72s 6d, middling to
good G9s fid a 71s Gd, damps 61s a 71s Gd, washed 603 a
G9s; 15 casks low bright brown fetched 57s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—White Havannah at 32s to 39s Gd, for low
to fine quality, being rather higher ; damaged 28s Gd to
34s for low to good. Yellow, low to fine quality held for
23s to 26s 6d, and brown 21s to 22s Gd, yellow Havannah
Muscovadoes taken in, middling at 24s to 24s 6d. ordinary
21s per cwt. White Brazil at rather lower rates. Per-
narns at 25s 6d for good quality. Good white Bahia at
26s to 275, middling 24s 6d to 25s Gd, low 23s to 245.
Brown and yellow qualities have been only in limited re-
quest, the former of low and middling quality having been
disposed of at 183 6d to 203, and the latter at 21s for fair.
COFFEE.—The clean qualities of British Plantation
have maintained previous rates, the supply being very
short, and all offered have found buyers; a large quantity,
however, could only be disposed of at lower rates : un-
clean sorts have sold heavily, although offered 33 a 4$ un-
der previous rates. Java, dull of sale, and 850 bags at auc-
tion went 3s to 4s under previous rates, good ordinary
small berry selling at 61 eto 64s 6d ; and by private contract
there has been scarcely anything done. Brazil, from the
Cape, is quite neglected.
This afternoon the home consumption market was very
dull, there was no public sale, and scarcely any businc:s
doing by private contract; there are not sellers, however,
at any further reduction.
Taenow.—For Petersburgh yellow candle first quality
has realized 433 91 to 49s per cwt. For delivery in the
last three months the trade generally are yet disinclined
to operate, and the transactions have been on a small
Beale, but under 49s 3d there are no sellers, and some par-
ties asks 49s Gd. To-day the market is very dull ; 49=
is the price on the spot, and 49e 3d for arrival in the last
three months. At auction 156 casks South Ainetican found
buyers at 45s to 48s for good to fine.
Oine.—For Cod Oil former rates have been fully main-
tained, some parties are not disposed to tar! 28/ Seal
pale of first quality 251 10$ for small parcels on the spot
261 to 261 53 per tun. In Sperm prices have still a
downward tendency; fine quality is selling at 1001.
Linseed 0:1 for present delivery at 24s 6d to
24s 9d, for forward delivery 253 to 25s 3d.
Rape al tiller prices, pale selling at 36s 6d, and brown

PRICE sd.

35s 6d; Palm there arc not sellers under 341 for first qua-
lity. East India Cocoa Nut at 36s to 38s per cwt, duty
paid. In Olive prices remain firm.
This afternoon at public sale 120 tuns Southern were
all disposed of at 231 10s to 24110 s for middling to fine
quality.
TEA.—..The market for Free Trade Tea has been in a
dull state all the week, sad the trifling business done has
been exclusively for cash ; the merchants generally have
refused to sell excepting at former rates, but in some
cases a reduction of id to Id has been submitted to as
compared with the prices of this day week, common
Congou in small parcels selling at 2s 3id to 2s 4d, and
Twankay 2s 4d to 2s 41-d per Ib, but iu the present inactive
state oldie market it is difficult to quote prices accurately,
buyers waiting to see if the Cordelia' from Hong Kong,
arrived off Liverpool, has brought any private letters from
China, by which an idea may be formed as to the season's
supply. In Company's Congou hull business has been
done, and prices have fallen to 2s 4i4 for cash, being a re-
duction since last Friday of lid per lb. The Alexander
Baring has arrived with 8,900 packages of Tea. Opinion
seems to be much divided as to the supply from China for
the season; by some it is stated that it will not exceed
12,000.0001bs ; several parcels have been received from
New York since we last wrote. The next quarterly sale
has been fistd for Monday, and contains the small quantity
of only 1,030,6671bs of Tea ; 458,852 of which is Canton
Bohea ; 28,416 Fokien ; 343,148 Congou ; 44,771 Sou-
cbong ; 6,290 Ning Yong ; 113,912 Caper; 3,008 Orange
Pekoe ; 1,620 Hung Aluey and Black Leaf Pekoe ;
15,453 Flowery Pekoe ; 145,764 Twankay ; 93,017
flyson ; 58,442 Young Hy son ; 34,924 Imperial ; 92,650
Gunpowder; in addition to which 8,000 packages are de-
clared for Ist June.
To-day there
.is scarcely any buiiness doing in Free
Trade Tea ; the near approach of the sales, and the non-
arrival of accounts from China, cause the trade to buy
with caution, but at the same time there is not much Tea
pressing on the market. For Company s Congou very
few buyers.

This afternoon the market closed dull for all descrip-
tions of Tca. The nearest prices were 2i 3icl for *tom-
mon Free Trade Congou for cash, rwankay, 2s. 4d, and
Company's. Congou 2s 4d to 2s 2:kd per lb.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica is held firmly,
but rather lower rates have been accepted for common
Lecwards, proofs selling at 3s 8d to 3s Sid; Demerara,
at 5€ 8d for fine quality. In Brandy the prices arc rather
stiffer; large sales have been made in Cognac of the vin-
tage of 1836 at 5s 7d in hhds for first brands, and
puns 553, ditto 1837 53 5d in lihds, 5s 3d in
puns, dittp 1838 hhds 5s 3d, puns 5s Id,. ditto 1839
hbds 5s Id, puns 4s lld to 53; at the above rates some
parties were not disposed to sell. Geneva has sold steadily
for export at Is lld to 2s, and for fine quality the home
trade still pay 2:3 4d to 2s 6d. British Corn Spirits at
9s 11 d to lOs per gallon.
MOLASSES.—West India at previous rates ; fine Anti-
gua has realised 37s 6d to 38s, Demerara ordinary, 335,
St. Kitts 33s 6d to 34s 6d per cwt ; Mauritius at 34s 13.%cl
to 353 6d, very fine 38s per cwt.
This afternoon there was a fair business doing by pri-
vate treaty at stiffer rates; 87 puns Berbiee at auction
were taken in at 31s to 32s for very low dark.

THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

We were quite prepared to expect that Lord Aber-
deen's Bill would not satisfy the dominant party in the
Church. It is far too just and constitutional a measure
to please the Non-Intrusionists. Accordingly, the very
few Journals that advocate that cause, have lifted up the
standard of opposition, and raised the war-cry of re-
sistance to the knife. The Caledonian Mem:7y ex-
claims " Away with Lord Aberdeen's Bib ! the people
of Scotland will not be satisfied, and will not be gullfd
by its plausible and moderate provisions." Another
Edinburgh paper, a new recruit of the same party, de-
votes a brace of articles on Saturday, of three columns
length, in downright. abuse of the measure ; sounding the
horn of " active uncompromising hostility," and telling
its readers that the Church of Scotland had far better
swim a few years longer in her present sea of
troubles, or even cut her cable of State connection,
and betake herself to Voluntaryism on the hills, than
accept of this " moderate" Bill.
We had intended to give the opinions of some others
of our contemporaries, but this we must defer till next
paper. It will be found, however, that nearly the entire
newspaper press in Scotland is in favour of the measure.
The Glasgow Constitutional, which the non-iutrusionists
reckoned one of their partisans, is delighted with the
bill ; and we have little doubt that others will be found
to give in their acquiescence to it, seeing in its adoption
the only possible chance, not merely for restoriig tran-
quillity to the country, but for saving the Church
of Scotland from committing an act of suicide. We

_ • •
have given extracts from- several of the Y London
Journals, from which it will be seen that they
treat the dispute as a political party question. The
Globe is temperate ; but the Chronicle writes absurd
nonsense, and has been completely answered in the ex-
cellent remarks of the Morning Post. The Times,
which has frequently erred in this controversy, takes a
sound view of the object and effect of Lord Aberdeen's
Bill. The great and important question now is, will
the majority of the Church accept of it ; and if not,
' what are they to do ? They cannot get the Lord Ad-
vocate's Bill, nor any other that embodies its principles.
Government has rejected one and all of these. Will
they still cling by the illegal Veto Act, and continue for
another year to inflict upen the country the moral pes-
tilence of the Non-intrusion agitation ? This is an alter-
native which we fondly hope every rational man, every
minister of the gospel of peace, every sincere well-wisher
to the Church and people of Scotland, will pause before
giving it his assent.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
The high-flyers have resolved, if they can, to put a
veto on Lord Aberdeen's Rill. The Non-intrusion
Committee has emitted a series of resolutions condem-
natory of its entire principle and provisions, and the
Non-intrusion Journals are open-mouthed against it.
From this last assertion indeed we mutt except the
Constitutional and Guardian of our own city. The
former, with an inconsideration which we suspect it has
since repented, became an abettor of the Non-intrusion
nonsense, in the hope of thereby aiding the cause of
Toryism ; but it is now in raptures with Lord Aber- I
deen's Bill, and looks upon it, we have no doubt, as a
most fortunate occasion for declaring oE from an un-
congenial connexion, A very able article, by a Corre-
spondent of the Witness, proves beyond all denial that
the Bill of Lord Aberdeen makes no " concession" to
the Church, but confirms the supremacy ate; control
which the State at present exercises, and, as we think,
ought to exercise over it. 'We abstain at present from
adding any remarks on this subject, addition to those
contained in our last publication.—Glasgow Chronicle.
The Earl of Aberdeen brought forward a motion the
other day for a compromise between the Intrusion and
the Non-intrusion party, which, we confess, we cannot
well separate from former attempted arrangements be-
tween the people and the Church authorities. It is
another scheme to give the ecclesiastical authorities a
power, which, in our humble judgment they ought not to
possess. It is a plan to quench the spirit of the volun-
tary principle in Scotland, which they may as well endea-
vonr to extinguish as to plant the Eildop hills on the
top of Arthur's seat. And look at the master in which
Noble Lords view the measure themselve,s ; the Duke
of Buccicuch says the people arc the peeper judges of
their pastors, but they should not be al trod to decide
without the authority of the CTlizirch ! new, truly this I
allows vast freedom of decision! It is precisely like the
celebrated artist who said to Richardson the novellist :
" 1 wish to have the most impartial idea of my pic-
tures that men can give me, but if any one says tthat
this is not the best picture that. ever was painted, j
will knock him down! ihfr. Rwhardsott, what is ,our
opinion. • 9" The people arc to he the jetdges, but the
Church is to judge the judgment of the people T. Who
talks of Catholicism after this ? Compared to this the ,
Church of Rome is mildness and condestension, meek.
ness and kindness of spirit. The Earl of Galloway

hoped their Lordships would never sanction the Church
in giving the people "an arbitrary lrt.;-
trary right I The power of judging who. is or who
not fit to be their Minister I If it be a right, bow can it
be arbitrary? if it be a right, it most be both inherent and
just, which qualities are altogether incompatible with
powers conferred, or with privileges unjustly and wrong-
' fully possessed. The Government are much blamed by
some parties in the debate for not having introduced such
a measure as this of the Earl of Aberdeen, but Lord
Melbourne said "a Ile considered that after a time it
would be demonstrated that the Government on tbis
question had displayed a proper degree of prudence."
We are pretty much of the same feeling with the Noble
Lord.—Tyne Afercurv.
