PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending July 6,
1847, is 265. 101/2d. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July 9.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a stronger desire evinced
to operate in all kinds of Raw Sugar, and for all pur-
poses, whilst a rise in the value generally took place,
and some merchants have withdrawn their samples from
the market; that they should have resorted to this might
have been expected. West Indian Muscovado was in
excellent request, the purchases privately amounting to
830 hhds and trcs, at an advance on yesterday's rates of
6d per cwt, so that prices close the same as on Friday
last.

REFINED.—To-day there was a better demand from
the home trade for Refined goods; brown grocery Lumps
at 565, and Standard Lumps 575. Bonded Crushed Sugar
sells freely at 32s to 32s 6d for fine.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of any
kind of Foreign Sugar, whilst privately there was more
business transacted, and at rather higher rates. The
market is decidedly looking firmer.
Manumus.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius, and privately the operations were upon a
more extended scale, and rather higher rates were
obtained for all sorts.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was a brisker
demand for Bengal Sugar, and 1,721 bags at public sale
were sold at full rates; 400 bags fine strong white Cossi-
pore were taken in at 565, which is abovo the value. Of
Madras, 3,937 bags were offered, and nearly all sold at
the full value.

COFFEE.— This afternoon there was little passing
privately in Coffee for home use or export, but prices
unchanged.aresoldmid

26s to 353, low middling sound bold was taken in at 50s.
30 casks Jamaica in part sold at 48s to 60s, middling
bought in at 86s to 88s.
TEA.—No further advance can be quoted in the value
of black; but holders display firmness, and offer only a
moderate quantity for sale. The trade continue to be
inclined to increase their stocks, and a good business has
been transacted in all kinds of Congou this week, at full
former rates. In Green Teas a good business has been
done, but not at higher rates; still the quantity pressing
for sale is less than it was. At public sale Yesterday
4,500 pkgs were offered, of which 2,000 were sold, chiefly
small boxes. There have been no arrivals since this day
week, whilst the deliveries for home use have been upon
a large scale since that time.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with little atten-
tion, and at the public sales prices slightly gave way,
but the whole offered sold.

SPICES.—For Black Pepper former rates are required,
but few sales have been made privately in any sort, and
21d to 2id is the value of Sumatra. At public sale a
small parcel only of 2,760 packets Malabar found buyers.
White has been operated in with caution, and can be
obtained upon the low terms of 34(1 to sd, according to
quality. Pimento is not so much in request, and a slight
decline in the value occurred, whilst privately few sales
have been made. Cinnamon is offering rather under
former rates, but without much attention, as the quan-
tity that will be offered at the next quarterly sales will be
large, and of Ceylon is expected to be 3,000 bales. There
continues to be ready sellers of Cloves, and at a public
sale of 681 picgs Zanzibar prices declined id to fld per lb,
but the whole sold. 10 bags Bourbon were taken in at
9d. Nutmegs have been operated in with caution pri-
vately, although there are sellers even at rather under
former rates. Mace is dull of sale and a little cheaper:
few purchases have been made privately. Cassia Lignea
is held with firmness, the supply being small; but little
desire has been shown to do business privately, and none
was offered at public sale. Ginger is not much required.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was a good de-
mand, and full rates were obtained. At public sale 30
bags Mexican black sold at 5s 3d to 5s 6d, and 50 bags
silvers 5s to 5s ld.
SALTPETRE.--There has been a strong desire mani-
fested to
hforhome consumption and ex-
portation,insisting upon an advance on
bat purchase
holdersrou g
former rates of 6d per cwt operated against business
privately, and at auction 1794 bags of Calcutta were
only in part disposed of.
SPIRITS.—There is a very unfavourable opinion en-
tertained by all parties towards lute, and which is to be
ascribed to the smallness of the deliveries, and the large
quantities that are yet to arrive. Holders have been
eager sellers of all kinds this week upon further reduced
terms, still without inducing exporters or the home
trade to operate with more freedom. Although a re-
duction on former rates of 3d to 4d per gallon
has been submitted to for all kinds of Jamaica; still
the amount of business transacted has been to a small

extent only, and the total purchases made for home
consumption and exportation this week do not exceed
250 puns. Leeward Island suffered a further reduction
of Id to 2d, and the purchases made have been trifling.
Although East India can be obtained at 2s Gd to 2s 7d
proof with certificate, still there are few buyers to be
met with. Demerara has been operated in with cau-
tion, and can be again obtained upon lower terms.
There is a large quantity of all kinds of Rum pressing
for sale, and an opinion exists that prices have not yet
arrived at their lowest point. Brandy has met with
more attention this week, but no improvement in the
value.
Oils.—The demand has been active for Southern Oil
of all kinds this week, and an advance in the value took
place of lOs to 15s per tun. At public sale 140 tuns
were all sold. For Cod there are few buyers, and the
general quotation is still 271 For Pale Seal the demand
has much increased whilst a rise in the value of lOs to
20s per tun took place. By private treaty a
considerable business has been done at 27/ lOs
to 281, at which holders are firm. In other quali
ties the operations are upon a more extended scale.
Sperm prices do not improve, but the operations are
upon a more extended scale privately, and at auction
80 tuns were sold. There are further arrivals of Fish
Oils, but the deliveries continue on the increase. Rape-
seed Oil has been extensively dealt in, and a further rise
in the value took place. The supply is less plentiful,
whilst the consumption is large. For Palm prices tend
downwards although a good demand exists privately. Cocoa
Nutis less wanted, still prices rule high. There are seve-
ral orders in the market unexecuted. For Linseed Oil the
market has assumed a quiet appearance, and a decline in
the value took place, although the supply
continues to
be small. On the spot the home trade operated with
caution, whilst the quantity taken by exporters has
been trifling.

WASTE OF TIME.
Lord BROUGHAM considered that a great waste of
time resulted from the method of giving the Royal As-
sent by commission during the business hours of the
House. Formerly it was given at a much earlier period
of the day, and a saving of public time was effected. He
moved that the Committee appointed to inquire into the
forms of the House should also take the subject of Royal
Commissions into their consideration. lie moved that
Lord Ellenborough, Lord Redesdale, and Lord Shaftes-
bury be added to the Committee.—Agreed to.
JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL—CONFERENCE
WITH THE COMMONS.
Messengers from the House of Commons appeared at
the bar, and requested a conference with their Lordships
upon the Juvenile Offenders Bill.
The following noblemen were selected to act for their
Lordships :—The Bishop of St. Asaph, the Earl of
Devon, the Earl of Eglintoun, Lord Monteagle, Lord
Kinnaird, and Lord Portman.
On their 'return, they reported the reasons of the
Commons' disapproval of their Lordships' amendments.
They were ordered to lie upon the table of the House.
Lord RODEN called the attention of the House to
the third report of the Commissioners appointed under
the Act 10th Vict., cap. 7, for the relief of distress in
Ireland, it having been stated therein, "that in some
cases the very chairmen of the relief committees, being
magistrates, have sanctioned the issue of rations to
tenants of their own of considerable holdings, possessed
of live stock, and who it was found had paid up their
last half-year's rent, and that intimidation—a very com-
mon cause of abuse—has in some cases been openly
encouraged by the committees." He moved that copies of
all informations connected with these transactions which
had been made to the commissioners, together with the
names of such chairmen of committees and justices of
the peace referred to in the report be laid upon the table
of the House. He would occupy the attention of the
House but a very short time, while he directed their
Lordship's attention to the very serious matter charged
against high persons in authority in Ireland, in the re-
port to which he alluded. He hoped their Lordships
would grant the motion which he now made, so long as
such charges were preferred by anonymous writers in
the public papers. He did not consider it his duty to
interfere or endeavour to protect the landed interest from
the base calumnies to which they were daily subjected.
He did not mean to say that there' were not
some persons who had acted in the foul manner
intimated, but he did consider it was but an
act of justice to the resident gentry of Ireland
to lay upon the table of the House the names of the
guilty parties. He would not enter into a detail of the
calamities which had befallen his fellow-countrymen.
There was a sufficient proof in the unbounded charity of
the English people that they were known and felt, and
deeply sympathised in.—(Hear, hear.) The Protestant
gentry had also done themselves immortal credit ; they
had shared their last morsel with their Roman Catholic
brethren, and the Protestant clergy gave up their own
necessary comforts to alleviate the distresses of their
neighbours ; and, in fact, the more he considered
the conduct of the gentry in Ireland, the more
ho was persuaded that the present report was
false, calumnious, libellous, and a one-sided report,
which was wholly unworthy of the confidence of their
Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) The report was regarded
with one universal feeling of sorrow and annoyance by
all classes in Ireland, and many gentlemen who had
given their whole time to the relief of the poor in acting
upon committees, were now quite unprepared to take
further responsibility upon them, lest they might be
considered to be included in the charges made by the
commissioners. It would have the effect of banishing
many of those gentlemen who had so acted. The Noble
Lord then read several letters from influential gentlemen
in various parts of Ireland, who had anxiously laboured
in the cause of humanity for eight months, and who all
denounced, in the strongest language, the report, which
they termed as false and libellous, and unworthy of
credence. The Noble Lord then went on to read
the report, which stated that the objects of the Act
could easily have been carried into effect, if the persons
who had entered upon the undertaking had done so with
honesty and earnestness of purpose, and that a trust-
worthy local management was generally unattainable for
smaller limits than those of a union. The report fur-
ther noticed a gradation from the spirit of perfection
which in general animated relief committees, to a coun-
teracting spirit in the body, " a wrong feeling of one entire
class, a degree of apathy or neglect on the part of some,
or the whole a yielding to intimidation, or seeking for
popularity, leading to the abandonment of any attempt
to check fraud, down to the last degree—namely, thet of
actual connivance at the grossest fr4uds, and misapplical
tion of the means at their disposal." The Noble ,Lord
having read several extracts from the report, con-
cluded by moving his resolution.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he would tress-
pass upon the House for a few moments while he would
explain to the House the reason why

commissioners had not thrown any general censure upon
the country, and they only pointed out some difficulties
which obstructed their endeavours. The commissioners
said that they had been so far effective, and they only
stated that in very many instances—not in the majority,
not in even a large minority—but in many cases, certain
difficulties interposed. The commissioners, in a para-
graph which the Noble Earl had omitted to read, praised
the conduct of those gentlemen who acted on the
Finance Committee, which, be it remembered, was the
highest and most confidential post that could be en-
trusted to any man or set of men. He considered that
when a Commission was appointed to inquire into the
general working of any measure, it would be highly im-
proper for them to descend into particular details by men-
tioning names.. Supposing a Commission was appointed
to inquire into smuggling, and they reported that there
was a general feeling along the coast in favour of smug-
gling. Would it be wise, or prudent, or just, to men-
tion the names of the person's wives and daughters who
felt that sympathy?—(hear, hear.) He could bear his
testimony to that of the Noble Lord, to the humane,
charitable, and benevolent conduct of the gentry and
clergy of Ireland during the calamity which had befallen
the country. They had sacrificed their time, and in
many instances, their lives, to alleviate the sufferings of
their poorer neighbours.—(Hear, hear.) Such an in-
quiry ought not to be granted, if it were only from the
lateness of the session, which would frustrate any useful
end resulting from it. The Government did intend to
inform such of their officers as had been implicated, that
a charge had been made against them, and they would
then have an opportunity of defending themselves, and
making a statement to the Government.
Lord BROUGHAM recommended the withdrawal of
the motion, but at the same time he thanked the Noble
Earl for having brought the question under the atten-
tion of the House. He did consider that if the magis-
trates did not fully exculpate themselves, they shoulp
be removed from the commission of the peace. It would
not do for them to deny the charge upon their honour,
as two Members of the Lower House had done—that
would not do.—(Hear, hear.) They should fully ex-
culpate themselves, or be removed. He did not wish to
know the names of the guilty parties, it would only give
him an opportunity of despising a human creature,
which was always a disagreeable sensation.—(Laughter.)
Earl FITZWILLIts-M said that, with every respect
for the gentlemen who had made that report, he did
think that it would have been better to have conceived it
in a different spirit, and expressed it in different language.
They had arrived at a very eventful period, and he was
sorry to say that very little had been done during the
present session for Ireland. They had promised much,
but they bad performed little ; but he hoped that
another Parliament would effect much greater good. He
had no doubt, a large expenditure of English capital by
the Government would render Ireland an assistance in-
stead of a burden to England ; but at the present mo•
ment he saw nothing but a great deal of want and misery
in that country for some time to come, a small niggardly
outlay would do no good.
Lord MONTEAGLE presented his thanks to the
Noble Lord opposite for having brought forward the
proposition which he had done, and he would support
him if he was willing to go to a division. It would be
utterly unbecoming if some person representing some of
the classes impeached did not refute it ; it was a serious
charge, and one which ought to be investigated, as it
was to those very persons they characterised. The
working of the new poor-law was entrusted. He was
not about to go the length of saying that no instances of
abuse existed, even if such a measure was introduced into
this country, more enlightened as it was, abuses would
arise, more or less numerous according to circumstances.
In the province of Connaught there were persons acting
upon relief committees who could neither read nor
write, nor speak any language save Irish, and when such
a description of persons officiated, was it to be wondered

that utilises should occur? Yet, nevertheless, these
charges would not rest upon such a class, but upon the
landed gentry. The money which was given to the
country was not given in a confiding spirit, and if it had
been a much smaller sum, and given in such a spirit, it
would have done more to cement the union between the
countries than any measure which could hereafter be
effected.

The Earl of RODEN Men begged leave to withdraw
his motion. He considered that the discussion which
had arisen would effect a great deal of good.
The motion was then withdrawn.
