ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
KINSALE.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Bridget Heeley stated that she was a servant, in the
service of Mr. Murphy, of Kinsale. She remembered
that shortly after the last election Dr. Jago called upon
her :master and paid him some money. She believed
that it was for voting against Mr. Watson. The witness
was proceeding to state in cross-examination that her
master was greatly reduced in his circumstances,
or he would not have voted against his own prin-
ciples. A question was was then put to the witness, as
to whether she did not remember the priest saying
something about the election shortly before it took
place, but before she had time to answer she fainted
away.
Mr. A. B. COCHRANE interrupted the proceedings,
remarking that the fainting of the witness was preceded
by a severe glance that an individual standing in the
crowd had cast towards her upon the question being put.
It had already been intimated that the individul was the
Roman Catholic priest stationed at Kinsale, and if ho
did not immediately retire without further intimidating
the witnesses by his looks and gestures, the Honourable
Member hinted that he should feel it to be his duty to
move that he be taken into custody.
Mr. CRIPPS and Sir J. AI:TAGGART, two other Mem-
bers of the Committee, said they had remarked the con-
duct of the priest, and concurred in what had fallen from
Mr. Cochrane.
A stern-featured personage, who appeared to apply
these observations to himself, slunk out of the room, and
the proceedings were resume].
Several witnesses deposed to having bad money offered
to them to refrain from voting.
The Committee then adjourned.

LYME REGIS.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Several witnesses gave similar testimony, and the
Committee adjourned.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 18.)
SUGAR.—To-day the home trade were more inclined
to operate in Raw Sugar, merchants also manifested more
firmness, and less freely supplied the market. OR the
part of exporters, however, little disposition was shown
to do business. Of West India Muscovado the private
sales were 180 hhds and trcs, whilst the rates ob-
tained are equal to those that existed previously; re-
finers as well as grocers showing more desire to operate.
The total sales for the week are 1,010 hhds and tree.
The market for raw sugar closes with a firm aspect.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were dealt in with
more freedom by the home trade, Standard lumps at 545,
and brown grocery 53s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
is wanted at former rates. _

MAußlTlus.—This afternoon there was more inclina-
tion shown to make purchases in Mauritius Sugar.
At public sile three parcels amounting to 5,788 bags,
353 casks, and 12 barrels were offered, consisting chiefly
of good and fine yellow sorts. The whole sold, and at
fully former rates.
EMIT INDIA.—This afternoon two parcels Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 2,931 bags, were offered at public

of Foreign Sugar, and none was offered at public sale.
The private operations for the week are 300 hhds Cuba
Muscovado at 38s to 395, and 200 cases of brown add
yellow Bahia 35s to 38s per cwt.
COFFEE. —This afternoon holders of Native Ceylon

sold is per cwt under former rates, really good ord bold
went at 34s to 34s 6d, damaged 30s 6d to 33s 6d, triage
295. The market is quiet for Plantation, and prices are

middling 48s 6d, fine fine 43s to 455, fine ordinary 395,
good ordinary 35s 6d, pea berry 48s, and damaged 34s

treaty are 3,000 bags for the week at 27s 6d.
TEA.—Today the public sales were brought to a
conclusion; the trade again operated with reluctance in
all sorts of Tea, and in some cases the rates taken were
rather under those of yesterday. Of the total quantity
offered, amounting to 16,300, only 6,900 pkgs were
actually sold upon the following terms :—Congou, fair
common at 8d to 81d, middling 9d to Sid,

- Sexes. —A favourable opinion is yet entertained to-
wards Pimento, supplies are modsrate, and the demand
having been active this week, we have to announce a
further rise in the value of id per lb. The parcels offered
at public sale were all sold, and amounted to 463 bags,
By private treaty several parcels have been taken, and
the stock hero is nearly all in second hands. There is a
falling off in the supply of Black Pepper at market this
week, and having a good demand privately, prices tend
upwards. White is wanted, but not much is to be
obtained. In Nutmegs the sales made privately are
upon a more extended scale, and holcrs display firm-
ness. None has been offered at auction. Mace sells
more readily, and at stiffer rates. For Cloves
the demand is getting brisker, but prices re-
main much the same as_ previously curreuL.g4t-la"Yea.k
te7n?,7,r, rolikht alter, but as the supply at market is
small, buyers are compelled to pay 62s to 725, according
to quality. A large parcel will, however, be de-
clared for public sale shortly. Cassia Buds
are scarce, and held for the high rates of
93s to 100 s, but there are few buyers. For
Cinnamon better prices are not to be obtained, a !fair
demand, however, has been experienced this week, but
supplies are good. Ginger met with little attention this
week from exporters or the home trade, and holders ex-
perience difficulty in getting former rates.
SALTPETRE.—The market for rough has a dull ap-
pearance, and 2,455 bags of Calcutta at public sale to-
day were all taken in 6d per cwt. under former rates,
good strog grey small crystal 5} to 41 per cent. refrac-
tion at 303, middling ditto 11 per cent. 295, 13i ditto
28s 6d, not refracted 28s, the damaged, however, sold at
24s to 27s 6d per cwt.
SPIRITS. - Prices cannot be quoted higher for
Jamaica Rum, but there has been a brisker demand,
chiefly from the home trade. The sales for the week
are 200 puns, fair quality 27 to 33 per cent overproof at
33 8d to 3s 10d, middling and good middling 34 to 36
over 3s lld to 4s, good and fine 30 to 33 over 4s 2d to
4s 4d. Leeward Island is in good demand at the former
value, and the sales aro 250 puns at is 8d to Is 9d
proof. In East India the sales are upon rather a more
extended scale. On the part of holders of Demerara
there is firmness, and buyers operate more freely, paying
2s 10d to 3s 4d for 28 to 36 per cent over proof. Brandy
is in fair demand, and last week's rates are well sup-
ported. The deliveries are good, and arrivals keep
small. Geneva sells slowly at 23 3d to 2s 4d for ordi-
nary, and at 33 to 3s 4d for fine. The value of British
Corn Spirits is 103 per gallon net cash.
