MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of July 21.)
SCGAIL—In consequence of what transpired in the House
of Commons last evening, with respect to the Sugar Duties,
increased dullness was produced in the market for Colonial of
every kind to-day, and reduced rates were submitted to.
REFINED.—To. day there was little desire shown by the
home trade to operate in Refined goods, although there were
sellers of brown melting lumps at 655, brown grocery 65s 6d
to GO, and standard lumps at 66s Gd to 67s per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is cheaper, sales having been made at 33s 6d
to 84 per cv.t for first quality.
MAURITIUS. —This afternoon there was scarcely any bus...
ness transacted privately, and at auction 122 casks G hhds
81 trcs were only in part sJld at 6d to is per cwt decline.,
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was much better
enpplied with Madras Sugar ; two parcels, amountirg to
7,362 bags, were submitted to public competition, and nearly
the whole sold at a reduction on former rates of Is per cwt.
FOREIGN. —To-day the market presented a quiet appear-
ance for all kinds of Foreign Sugar, and previous rates were
not obtainable. By private contract there was very little
business transacted.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced to
operate in Ceylon Coffee, and, 1,581 bags 64 casks were
offered at public sale; the Native was taken in at about the
former value. With West India the market was better sup-
plied ; 287 casks 132 barrels and bags being submitted to
public competion, nearly the whole sold, but at a fall in
prices of 3s to 5s per cwt.
Tact.—Congou is not to be had on lower terms, but little
business has been transacted. In Pouchong several pur-
chases have been made, but holders are compelled to accept
previous rates. In Gunpowder a good business has been
done, but upon lower terms. Several parcels of Im-
perial have been disposed of in consequence of reduced
prices having been taken. In Twankay there has been little
passieg, and previous rates are not obtainable. holders of
Dyson are unwilling to lower their prices, although the de-
mand has been limited. Young Ilyson is little wanted.
Scented Orange Pekoe is little wanted, and 2s to 2s 2el is the
value of the finest. Seuchong is dull of sale at 10d to 2e,
and superior 2s 2d to 2s 9d per lb.
IlicE.—The market has a quiet appearance for Bengal, and
the quantity on offer being large, a fall in the value of 3d
per cwt has taken place.
SPICES.—To-day Pimento met with attention, and 308
bags at auction all sold at full rates. Nutmegs are little
wanted, and 45 chests at public sale only partly found
buyers at barely previous rates. Of Jamaica Ginger 213
bales were offered, and chiefly sold. Black Pepper is not
offered upon further reduced rates; but little business has
been done privately.
Hors.—ln the value no change has taken place, but there
las been only a limited business transacted in any kind.
The Duty fur the Kingdom is estimated at 140,0001 to
150,000/.
SALTPETRE.—TO-day Rough met with little attention, and
2421 bags of Calcutta at public sale were nearly all taken in
at about the former value.

COCIIINEAL.—ArrivaId having commenced to come in more
freely have caused merchants to be desirous to realise, and
they having supplied the market largely, has produced a de-
cline on former rates of 4d to Gd on silvers, and 4d to 8d on
black.

SPIRITS —To-day a good business was transacted in
Jamaica Rum, and at better prices—several parcels were sold
at 2s tid to 3s 8d for 30 to 34 per cent. over proof. Leeward
Island is sought after, and proof brought 2s 3d to 2s 4d. In
Calcutta sales were made at 15 lld to 2s proof, and of
Demerara some parcels sold at 3s to 3s 4d for strong descrip-
tions. The market closes with a brisker appearance for all
kinds of Rum. _ .

INDIGO.—To-day, during the progress of the sale, 83 chests
were withdrawn, and 879 chests have passed. There is little
alteration in the Frices,.which continue to be exceedingly
uneven for all the qualities of Bengal. Madras and Kurpah.

i
The quantity brought nis 256 chests. 8,464 chests have
now passed the hammer, of which about 4,500 are sold.
Oit.s.—Fur Seal further reduced rates have been sub-
mitted to. Holders of Southern at present are not inclined
to further reduce their prices, but exporters have been
cautious in their proceedings. Cod has been sparingly dealt
in. Spearni is little wanted, and prices are going down. Rape
seed oil has fallen in value. In Linseed Oil there has been
little business transacted on the spot. Olive has met with little
attention. Cocoa Nut has been in demand, but the market
is sparingly supplied. Palm has been in good demand.
American Lard Oil is heavy of disposal at 371 to 381 per tun.
TALLow.--The purchases made in Russian on the spot
have been trifling, and previous rates are not obtainable.

to 42s per cwt. For forward delivery few contracts have
been entered into. New South Wales is little wanted, and
prices are looking down. For other sorts of Tallow the

SITES OF CHURCHES IN SCOTLAND.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE stated that he
wished to call the attention of their Lordships to a peti-
tion of which he had given notice. The petition ema-
nated from several different synods of the Free Church
in Scotland ; and there were also petitions from other
places. There were 135 petitions from different con-
gregations, making the amount of signatures
18,136. There were 114 petitions from district towns,

From the great number and respectability of these peti-

general and anxious
feeling prevailed .on this question in
Scotland, and their
Lordships must come to the opinion that, however anxious
they might be to support the Established Church in
that country—however much they might lament the
separation which had taken place ;
and however unim.
portant they might consider the causes which led to the
destruction of that clan ch now that that destruc-
tion had taken place—that the great bulk of the
people of Scotland had seceded from the Establishment—
no hindrance should be given to them in the exercise of
their religion according to the dictates of their con-
science. This was in accordance with the prin-
ciples of the constitution of this country, and also in
conformity with the Toleration Act of Scotland.
