MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of February 9.)
SUGAIL—To-day there was a falling off in the demand for
all descriptions of raw Sugar for home consumption, and the
quantity brought forward being very large, and exceeding
the wants of the grocers, refiners, brewers, and distillers,
whilst there was no speculative demand, a decline in prices
consequently took place.
REFINED—To-day Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade, although there were sellers upon
lower terms. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with a dull sale
at former rates. In Loaves a good deal has been done.
Mauurritis—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar submitted to public competition was very large, and
amounted to 20,204 bags, and 241 casks, the chief part of
which consisted of the better descriptions. The merchants
were eager sellers, but submitting to a fall on the sates of is
to 2s on yellow and brown, and 6d to Is per cwt for grey
onfra4 h
kinds, induced the trade to purchase the principal part offered.

INDIGO.—The market has assumed a brisker appearance
for East:lndia suited both for home consumption an
ex-
portation, and prices have taken an upward tendency. The
quarterly sales of East India commenced to-day, and con-
sisted
0(9,509 cheets. The sale has ;gone off with spiritfer
the new goods, but those marks that were bought in, in pre-
vious sales, have not sold quite so well.
Foulitmx.—This afternoon Foreign Sugar met with little
attention privately. At public sale 2,596 bags of Pernam-
buco sold under former rates.
CoereE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon met with less
attention, and 1,419 bags at auction were only in part sold,
but former rates were sustained. Native is less wanted. Of
Singapore Java 1,923 bags were submitted to public compe-
tion, and all taken in at 38s to 403 for good ordinary, and at
32s to 32s 6d for damaged, which is above the value.
Cocoa.—There has been much inquiry after West India,
and further advanced rates are offered. The parcels on offer
have been readily cleared off the market; indeed the supply
is not sufficient for the demand.
TEA.—There has been more activity in the market for
Black since the issuing of our last number; holders have
shown firmness, and supplied the market less freely with all
descriptions. n Congou a good business has been transacted
by the town and country trade at the former currency. Of
NeVi. Tea many parcels have been disposed of, and the quality
is superior to that of last season. In Pouchong the operations
are to a larger extent, and at firm rates. In Green Tea of
good and fine quality a large business has been transacted,
and at firm rates, but in the lower sorts only a moderate
business has been dane at present, notwithstanding the low
prices at which there are sellers. The arrivals of Tea have
been less than they were last year, whilst the deliveries are
larger, and the stock is much the same as it was in 1846 at
this time, still all kinds ore cheaper.
SAGO.—The demand has been active, and stiff prices have
been paid. Sago Flour is wanted.
SALTPETRE.—To-day. there was a good desire evinced to
operate in rough, but stiffer rates being asked, checked
business, and 729 bags of Calcutta at public sale were taken
in rather above the value.
SPIRITS.—Today the purchases made in all kinds of Rum
were small, and for all purposes, although the stock exhibits
the large deficiency of 3,660 puns and 280 hhds compared
with this time last year, but holders refused to take lower
rates for an eort.
Wis.—Thy ere has been a large business transacted in Olive
Oil, and holders manifest much firmness, although some
parcels have been received. The consumption continues
prices are much above those of this time last

season. Rape Seed Oil has beenextensive request, and

It was a case which, to use the language of the peti-
tioners, tioners, was likely to reflect great discredit and scandal
upon the Church. The 'town of Manchester was origi-
nally a rectory, founded in the year 1251, of the
annual value of 531. 6s. Bd. It continued so until the
year 1451, when a collegiate Church was founded,
the parish having grow-- n to so large an ex •
tent, and the funds of the existing rectory were
appropriated by the Church of the parishioners
to the support of the new collegiate church, and
by a charter granted in the 9th year of the reign of Henry
V. At that period the funds amounted to 250 marks ayear.
Even at that time great complaints were made of the ap-
propriation of the funds by non-resident rectors; the same
cause of complaint remained unchecked for many years.
After the foundation of the college, and during the reign
e
of Queen Elizabeth, another charter was passed for the
regulation and the enforcement of rectoral residences.

the charter that the rectors receiving the funds of the
college should be perpetua residere et victitare, the peti-
tioners in their petition had set forth the words of the
charter as perpetua residere et visitare—their Lordships
would see that the original words had even more force
than the words used by the petitioners. Under such a
chttrter, therefore, it would be easily seen how
