crushed Sugar is much in request, avTapritea
34s Gd a 35s fe- first quality.
FonEms.—To-day every kind of Foreign Sugar was
much sought after by exporters, the home trade, and specu=
lators, and higher rates were offered, but business of moment
was prevented by merchants insisting upon a considerable
advance—indeed some refuse to make a price, and several
parcels have been withdrawn from the market.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was animated
for Mauritius Sugar of all kinds, and 7,437 bags at auction
were all disposed of, at no advance on those of Friday of 2s
to 2s 6d per cwt for all descriptions.
COFFEE.—This afternoon most kinds of Foreign Coffee
were in excellent request ; at public sale 2,4.21 bags Costa
Rica were nearly all sold at full rates for the better sorts,
but inferior went a little cheaper.
Tsa.—Duty has been paid on 406,4901bs at this The
during the past week, and 6,000 packages arrived.
market has been in an inactive state for green Tea, and the
low and middling qualities are offered rather under previous
rates, the supply being large; but for good and tine late
quotations are insisted upon. The better sorts of Congou
are little wanted, and can be obtained at a shade under last
Tuesday's rates. Pouchong is not much wanted, and 4d to
9(1 is the value of low to tine quality.
FRUlT.—There has only been some partial business doing
Tnirately ; a parcel of damaged Patras Currants sold at 525,
-Eleines, in cases, from 43s to 45e, and some drums Turkey
Pulled Figs from 44s to 465, and one parcel fine at 565.
SPlCES.—Pimento is in small supply, and being much in
request, a further advance in prices has taken place. In
Black Pepper a good deal has been doing privately in all
sorts, but no improvement in value can be noted. For
White the demand is on the increase, and prices on the ri e.
For East India African Ginger a good demand existed, and
stiffer rates arc paid. Cassia Ligt ea has been sparingly dealt
' in, and prices are going down.
SPiiirrs.—To-day there was little desire evinced to operate
in Rum, and which is to be attributed to the probability of
the unrestricted use of sugar and molasses being allowed in
the distilleries and breweries ; still holders were not inclined
to take lower rates.
INDIGO.—Ean India is held with firmness at an advance
on the rates of last quarterly sale of 2d to 4d per lb.
There has been a fair business transacted, the home trade
being the chief operators.
COCHINEAL.—The demand has fallen off, and the market
having been well supplied, a decline in the value of Id per lb
took place, and 158 bags of Honduras Silvers, at auction,
were only in part sold, at 5s 7d to 6s for mid to fine quality.
NITRATE OF SODA.—There has been more activity in the
market, and prices have advanced to 16s 6d to 17s per cwt,
at which good business has been done.
TURPENTINE.—Spirits have been sparingly dealt in, and
there are willing sellers at 46s to 475, the stock being
large. In Rough the operations are upon a more extended
scale, but not at better prices, lOs being taken. Tar is in
fair request, and the stock is still small.
OILS.—For Linseed Oil rather lower rates having been
submitted to occasioned the demand on the spot to be good
at 25s to 25a 3d per cwt, and the export orders executed
have been upon rather a larger scale. For forward delivery
there are few purchasers, although there are sellers at the
moderate rates of 25s 6d to26sper cwt. Rape Seed Oil hasbeen
in excellent request, and prices are still on the advance. Olive
has been disposed of to some extent, at further advanced rates.
Palm cannot be quoted dearer, but the demand has been active.
For
Cocoa Nut higher rates have been obtained. The ar-
rivals of all kinds of Fish Oil have been again to a small
extent
only, whereas the deliveries are still large, and likely
so to continue.
TALLOW.—The market has a very firm appearance for all
descriptions of Tallow ; the stock is on the deerease, and the
deliveries
are going on largely—although prices are much
above those of this time last season.

THE OPENING OF PARraAMENT

(THIS DAY.)
THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS.
At a quarter before two o'clock, the royal cortege pro
ceeded from Buckingham Palace in the usual order, and
by the accustomed route, along the Mali, through Horse
Guards, Whitehall, and Parliament-street, to the Lords'
entrance in Old Palace-yard. The whole line of the
procession was much more crowded, notwithstanding the
gloomy and uninviting aspect of the day, than we ever
remamber to have seen it on any similar occasion. The
terraces on the Mall, the magnificent flight of Carlton
steps, and the windows and balconies along the route
were thronged; and in the Park itself t ere has scarcely
been so great a multitude collected, since the fetes in
celebration of the great peace of 1815, It was a matter
of general observation amongst the people themselves,
and we heart it attempted to be accounted for by several
on the ground, that there were so many people out of
work. But the cheerful,countenances, the respectable
attire, and the happy and contented bearing of the
general mass, gave a practical and emphatic contradic-
tion to that supposition. Indeed, her Majesty could
have observed nothing, in the appearance of these con-
gregated thousands of her subjects, which must
not add to her conviction that, despite of the somewhat
cheerless character of the time, she continues to reign
over the happiest and most loyal, as well as the freest

of her Parliament to the sufferings of a large por-
tion of the empire.
The conduct of the vast multitude in every direction was
remarkable for good order and good humour, and it is
as just as it may be expedient to observe, that the con-
duct of the police along the route was exceedingly
courteous and forbearing, even when the unintenticnal
pressure of the crowd might give excuse for some slight
ebullition on the part of the younger amongst those en-
trusted with the preservation cl order.
On her Majesty's return from the House of Lords she
was saluted with greetings even more enthusiastic than
.hose which had gratified her on her progress down.

Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen opened Par-
liament this day in person.
The interior of the House of Lords commenced wear-
ing a brilliant aspect, notwithstanding the heavy atmos-
phere, at an early hour. Before one o'clock most of the
seats in the-body of the House, and the galleries usually
devoted to distinguished visitors and to strangers,
and the press, were filled with elegantly-dressed.
and beautiful ladies. There was a numerous attendance
of Peereses. The many-coloured garments and elegant
head-dresses had a beautiful effect.

The corps diplomatique arrived at an early hour. They
occupied seats to the left of the throne.
There was a seat at the right and left of the throne,
that on the right neing the seat of the Prince of Wales,
whose arms it bore.

Amongst the Peers who arrived at an early hour we
noticed the Earl of Charleville, the Bishop of Ely, Earl
of Wicklow, Earl of Gl,nga,ll, Earl of Hatherton, Lord
Carew, the Bishop of London, the Earl of Zetland, the
Bishop of Exeter, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Earl
Dalhousie, and nearly all the distinguished Peers.
The whole of the Ministers who are Peers were pre-
cent.

The following judges were present:—Mr. Justice Pat-
teson, Mr. .lustiek., Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erie, Mr.
Justice Wightman, Mr. Baron Platt, Mr. Justice Colt-
man, Mr. Justice Williams. the Chief Baron, the Chief
Justice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Baron Alderson, and
Mr. Baron Parke.
At half-past on.- o'clock the House became so dark
that the throne could scarcely be seen from the reporters'
gallery. The chandeliers were consequently lit—an
occurrence either at tie opening prorogation
of Parliatllent. We cannot call a similar occurrence to
mind : the general effect was in consequence materially
heightened.
Shortly before two o'clock the Lord Chancellor took
