ROMAN CATHOLIC SOLDIERS.

Mr. MACAIU'HY inquired whether the Hon. Gen-
tleman the Secretary at-War intended to take any vote
for the purpose of finding Roman Catholic soldiers with
religious consolation from the ministers of their own
religion ?
Mr. MAULE said provision was made for Roman
Catholic soldiers receiving the concilation of
their religion both at home and abroad.
It would be too bad to let this matter rest without insti-
tuting some further inquiry into it. Good effects would
be produced by the publication of these cases. It was
well known that the principal landed proprietors were
absentees, and until lately they had nut been called
upon to act in public capacities. The administra-
tion of the poor-laws was the first public duty they
were called upon to perform, and he was quite
sure that these cases of fraud had occurred through
ignorance, or a strong desire to avoid refusing relief
when it was asked for. The publication of these cases,
however, would have the effect of inducing the mo gis-
tracy to be more cautious in future, and he trusted there-
fore that his motion would not be objected to. No doubt
they had no desire to do more than what was right and just,
and if publicity were given to those who were defaulters
he was confident it would to the exercise of more dis-
crimination in the system of relief adopted in Ireland.
No greater benefit could be done to the Irish nation
than by teaching them the value of character and repu-
tation, and nothing could more tend to give them such
instruction than by holding their defaulters up to public
opinion.—(Meer, hear.)
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN did not blame the Hon.
Member for Mallow for bringing the subject before the
House, but he did not think it advisable to publish
these cases now that Parliament was about to break up,
and the parties who might be falsely accused would have
no opportunity of making any explanation to that house.
Messengers from the Lords appeared at the bar and
summoned the House to hear the Royal Assent given by
commission to a number of public and private Bills, for
the names of which see our Lords report.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN, in continuation, said that 'he
should feel it his duty to resist the motion of the Hon.
Member.
Mo. LABOUCHERE was ready to admit that the
Relief Commissioners had stated to the Government
that some of the relief committees were not in the
habit of discharging truly and faithfully their
duty. These cases, however, he was happy to say,
formed the exception and not the rule. He thought
that the motion of the Hon. Member, that there should
be laid before the House so much of the correspondence
or reports of the inspectors under the Act 10 Vic. c. 7,
(with the name, rank, and residence of the parties re-
ferred to), as contains the statements by the Commis-
sioners of relief in their communications to the Govern-
ment, would, if carried out, be attended with a good deal
of useless and most vexatious inquiries.
He could not agree with the statement that there was a
wide difference between the conduct of a person in the
magistracy and a party in a lower station of life. He
did know that he need trouble the House any further
upon this subject. He did not agree with his Hon.
Friend the Ittenal3er for Mallow that this inquiry would
be snort and sattstactin-y, aau vviibn he remembered that
the inquiry into the conduct 'Of Captain Wynn had
occupied the attention of a Committee up stairs more
than thirteen week, and had involved the Government
in an expense of 20,0001. He did hope that the House
would not agreed to this motion.—(Hear, hear )

ing in the Long Gallery immediately.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
Me returns made in 1.1..3 weak endiJaa. July 6,
1347 i ill 263. 1.01/2d. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July 6.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a stronger desire evinced
to operate in all kinds of Raw Sugar, and fur all pur-
poses, vaiilst 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
fid 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
seels freely at 32s to 32s 6d for fine.
FOREIGN.—Today 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.
MAURITIUS.—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 strung white Cossi-
pore were taken in at 565, which is above 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
are unchanged. At public sale 121 bales 14 half-bales
Mocha sold—middling pale greenish at 60s to 61s, fine
long berry 75s to 80s, mixed peas 65s 6d to 66s 6d,
ragged 45s 6d, broken 29s 6d to 36s 6d 409 bags La
Guayra in part sold ; fine bold grey 43s to 455, damaged
26s to 355, 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 filinness, 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 hothe 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
2-1 d 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 3d 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 pkgs Zanzibar prices declined id to id 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 Id.
SALTPETRE.—There has been a strong desire mani-
fested to purchase rough for home consumption and ex-
portation, bat holders insisting upon an advance on
tormer rates of 6d per cwt operated against business
privately, and at auction 1791 bags of Calcutta were
only in part disposed of.
SPIRITS.—There is a very unfavourable opinion en-
tertained by all parties towards Rum, 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 pnns. 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 6d to 2s 70
proof with certificate, stijl 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 27/. For Pale Seal the demand
has much increased whilst,a rise in the value of lOs to
20s pvr • tun took. .place,, By private treaty- - a
considerable business 'has bison ,lone at 271 108
to 284 at which holders were 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
Nut is less wanted, still prices rule high. There are seve-
ral ordi rs 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.
