MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July 16.)
SUGAR.—To-day the home trade purchased Raw
Sugars with increased freedom, whilst exporters were
more inclined to do business, and better prices were
obtained for all sorts. The purchases made in West
India Muacovadoe were extensive, and for bright gro-
cery kinds the rates obtained were 6d above those of last
Friday ; for grey and brown mere money was obtaired,
so that for tbese sorts prices close the same as on Friday
last. At public sale 110 hhds Trinidad were sold at
38s to 38s 6d for low and mid yellow.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were extensively
dealt in by the home trade, and prices further advanced,
brown grocery Lumps selling at 57s 6tl to 58s, and
Standard Lumps at 58s 641 to 595. Bonded Crushed
Sugar is little required, and 31a 6d to 32s is the present
value of the best.
MAUnITIL'S.—This afternoon, at public sale, 942 bags
'and 49 casks Mauritius were offered, and taken in at
rather above the value—good and fine yellow at 43s to
465, middling 40s 6d to 41s, low 36s to 39s 6d, fine
brown 37s to 37s 6d. 52 puns Trinidad Molasses at 20s
per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bengal Sugar niet
with attention, and 1,579 bags at public sale were all
sold at rather higher rates—fine white Benares at 48s,
good middling and good 45, 6d to 46s 6d, damp and
washed 42s to 47a. Madras is not much required, and
419 bags were taken in at 34s for damp yellow and
brown.
FOREIGN.—There has not been much desire evinced
on the part of exporters to do business, whilst the home
trade purchased only small parcels by Private treaty, al-
though there were sellers upon former lower terms. 'I he
refiners working under bond are not much in want of
Sugar at present. At public sale 3,788 bags and 145
chests Pernambuco were offered.
MOLASSES.—In West India the business transacted
privately has been trifling in all sorts. In East India
little business has been done, and prices still tend down-
wards, whilst there is a fair supply.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was wanted,
and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to
1,435 bags were nearly all sold at full rates. 12 casks
and 539 bags Plantation Ceylon were chiefly disposed of
at steady rates. Of Jamaica 17 trcs 82 barrels 6 bags
veers sold at full rates. 25 bags St. Domingo sold at
32s 6d for pale. Of Mucha the quantity offered at
Public sale was large, and amounted to 519 bales 365
half bales ; nearly the whole was taken in above the

SPIRITS.--There is a plentiful supply of Rum, and the
quantity on offer far exceeding the demand, a further
fall in the value must be quoted. The deliveries con-

use at 35 to 33 3d. For British C6rn Spirits the demand
is dull. •
Noroo.---The quarterly
commenced on Tues sale of East India which
pacted, 40134611 day has gone off better than was ex-
14AD lalv duluess that Pr fled in

trade generally. Importers of Bengal shewing a desire
to realise occasioned the home and export demand to
be good for all sorts, whilst the principal
portion passed the hammer has been sold ;
anod and fine qualities brought last sale's rates.
Kurpah has been only in moderate request at
from last sale's quotation to 21 per lb in advance.
There was little disposition evinced to do business in
Madras, but buyers are compelled to pay the rates of
the May sale to 2d per lb advance. There has been only
a moderate attendance of exporters or the home trade.
To-day during the progress of the sale 91 chests were
withdrawn, and 906 chests have passed. There is no
alteration to notice in the prices of Bengal, which remain
very irregular.
SALTPETRE.—AII qualities of Rough are much re-
quired by exporters and the home trade, and in conse-
quence of the scanty supply, buyers are compelled to
pay stiff rates. In British Refined a good deal has been
done at 33s to 33s 6d, at which prices are firm. Nitrate
of Soda is in little request.
OILS —Although the supply of Linseed is not large,
still there are sellers upon further reduced terms.
On the spot the home trade operated with caution,
and only small parcels were taken by exporters,
whilst 27s per cwt was accepted. There are sellers for
forward delivery at 26s 6d, but few contracts have
been concluded. The consumption, however, does
not decrease. There is no further advance to notice in
the value of Rapeseed Oil, but large purchases have been
made. Olive Oil cannot be quoted higher, but the
demand is good both from exporters and the home trade.
Of Palm the stock has been further increased, still
the market is firm, and many purchases have been made.
Cocoa Nut is less required, whilst the supply is on the
increase, and prices are on the decline. The value of
Lard Oil is 43s to 475, end of African ground Nut Oil
415 to 428 per cwt; but little business has been done. Of
Fish Oils there are large arrivals, still holders are firm,
and there is no decrease in the demand. Southern of
ad sorts has been in excellent request; at public sale 100
tans were all sold. In pale Seal a good deal has been
done, other kinds have been sold to a fair extent. For
Cod a fair demand exists, and there is but a moderate
quantity on offer. Sperm does not improve in value, as
there is a plentiful supply, but by private treaty several
purchases have been made.
TALLOw.—Russsian on the spot is offered upon fur-
ther reduced terms; still the town and country trade
have purchased with caution. There has been little
business transacted: for forward delivery. Other
sorts of Tallow are little wanted, and can be obtained
upon rather lower terms. The value of rough Fat is
2s 9id per stone of Blbs. The supply from St. Peters-
burg h this:season is estimated at from 135,000 to 140,000
casks.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The .40RD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at Five o'clock.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from an in-
dividual, complaining of the Tithe Commutation Act.
The Noble and Learned Lord also presented a petition
from Mr. Robert Owen, praying their Lordships to ap-
point a Select Committee to inquire into the plan he
proposed to adopt for the improvement of the condition
of the people of Ireland.
CONFERENCE.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL appeared at the bar, and
requested, on behalf of the Commons, a conference with
their Lordships, on the resolutions adopted by their
Lordships with respect to the reception of Bills.
The .LORD CHANCELLOR informed the Noble
Lord that their Lordships had agreed to the conference.
The following are the Noble Lords composing the con-
erence:—The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of
Radnor, Lord Monteagle, Lord Sidney, Lord Strafford,
the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Colville, and the Earl of
Redesdale.

Their Lordships having retired for a few minutes, re-
turned, when the Marquis of LANSDOWIsTE stated that
the Commons had agreed to the resolutions proposed by
their Lnritsh;ps.

DRAINAGE OF LAND (SCOTLAND) BILL.
This Bill went through Committee.
PUNISHMENT OF VAGRANTS (IRELAND)

BILL.

A conference with their Lordships having been re-
quested by the Commons, with respect to this Bill,
the above-mentioned Noble Lords were appointed for
the purpose.
On their return,

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE reported that the
conference on the part of the Commons was conducted
by Sir G. Grey, and that the conference left with them
their reasons for diagreeing with amendments which
their D•rdships had inserted in the Bill.

A vast number of Bills were brought up from the
Commons, the titles of which were read by the Clerk
at the table; the whole of them having been brought up
under the new rule—namely, by list. Olcourse, a con-
siderable saving of time was the result.
MUSCLE FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL moved the committal of this Bill,
and explained the nature of it, and defended its pro-
visions. He said, under the present law persons poaching
on oyster beds rendered themselves liable to twelve
months' imprisonment, and that the present Bill would
simply assimilate the law with respect to muscles to that
of oysters. Muscles were now most inadequately
protected.
Lord
_BROUGHAM opposed the Bill on the ground
that a person who simply fished up a mussel, or who
fished for one ineffectually, would render himself liable
to most severe punishment, far more severe than the
nature of the offence required. Snails and suckles,
which he had been blamed for calling a mixture of
leather, salt, and tand, and as wanting in his apprecia-
ti. n of the fine arts—(lleac, hear, and laughter)—
were a respectable class of society, and he really
was at a loss to understand why they should not be pro-
tected.—(Renewed laughter.) Why, the Lord Advo•
care, from the Bill had eminated, by his anxiety to pro-
tect muscles would be entitled to have a muscle embla-
zoned on his banner at the next election.—(Laughter.)
It was quite ridiculous to frame such stringent
promises for the protection of such unimportant
property. Why. if a boy on his way to school
took a muscle out of the water and ate it with his knife,
he would be branded as a felon. He hoped the Bill,
thereto, e, would not pass.
Lord CAMPBELL said fisheries were granted by
the Crown to the persons who held them, and surely
they ought to have that protection at the hands of the
law which other property, such as canals, &c., enjoyed.
Their Lordships then went into Committee on the
Bill. and the clause having been agreed to, the Chairman
reported the result to the House.
(LEFT SITTING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKF It took the Chair shortly after Three.
NEW MEMBER FOR CORK.
Dr. PowErt was introduced by Mr. Maurice O'Con-
nell and Mr. Callaghan, and took the uaths and his
seat for the couhty of Cork, in the room of the late
Daniel O'Connell. Esq., deceased.
PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS BILL.
Sir DE LACY EVANS, after some discussion as to
the incorrectness of the division that took place upon the
Parliamentary Electors Bill, withdrew the measure fur
the present session.
