(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 25.)

Sucae..—To-day the home dealers were anxious to
make sales in all kinds of raw Sugar, and on the part of

and the advance in prices during that time is 6d to is
per cwt. The Government contract for 100 tons has
been taken by Merril. I, Field and Co., of Tower-street.

sale for home consumption, and prices closed with firm-
ness—Brown grocery lnmps at 53s 6d, and to pass the
standard 545. 6d per cwt. The market for bonded
Crushed is firm at former rates, and orders are on the

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Earl of SHAFTSBURT took his seat on the
Woolsack at Five o'clock.
ROME.

The Duke of RICIIMOND presented a petition
from the congregation of St. Matthew's, Glasgow,
against diplomatic relations with the Court of Rome.

'DIE NAVIGATION LAWS.

The NOBLE DUKE also presented a number of
petitions from shipowners and sailors of Liverpool,
Montrose, and other places, in favour of these laws.
The Noble Duke said he could not conceive how any
Minister, in the present state of Europe, could be
wild enough to propose any alteration in these laws,
because he believed the stability of the country
materially depended upon their maintenance. It was
unnecessary for him to add that he should vote
against any proposition for their abrouation.
ROME.

Lord STANLEY presented a petition from a place
in Devon against diplomatic relations with the court
of Rome.

NAVIGATION LAWS.
Lord STANLEY presented a petition, signed by
6,0. 00 of the shipowners, merchants, and sailors of
Liverpool against any alteration in these laws. The
petitioners hoped at least that no measure on the
subject mould be introduced until the fullest inquiry
had been made as to the operation of these laws.
The Noble Lord also presented a petition to the same
effect, signed by 500 persons, from Bideford, as we
understood,
