MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current_of August 4.)

SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Muscovado •
Sugar refused to further reduce their prices by private treaty,
and the sales did not exceed 290 hhds and trcs, including at
public auction 118 hhds 6 trcs of Barbadoes, which went off
heavily and at rather lower rates for the inferior sorts, but
good and fine sustained the former value.
REFINED.—To-day further reduced rates having been sub-
mitted to, tempted the home trade to operate with more
freedom, and several parcels were sold, consisting chiefly of
the lower descriptions.
MAnarrius.—This afternoon 7,356 bags 150 casks 19 hhds.
and 28 trcs of various descriptions were submitted to public
competition ; the trade evinced little desire to operate, and
not above 5,000 bags, &c., were sold at prices showing a de-
cline t f 2s to 3s on the brown and lower kinds of yellow,
while on the better sorts of the latter the reduction was
barely is. per cwt.
EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal have shown a stronger
desire to realise, and submitted to a reduction on previous
rates of is to 2s per cwt, of 5,769 bags offered at auction,
not above half sold.
FOREIGN.—To-day former rates were insisted upon for
Foreign Sugar, but the market had a quiet appearance;
there was little passing privately in white or yellow kinds,
and none was brought to public sale.
COFFEE..—This afternoon the market was better supplied
with Ceylon Coffee; three parcels, amounting to 4,113 bags
and 7 casks, were submitted to public competition ; the Na-
tive, of which the chief part consisted, nearly all found
buyers, in consequence of merchants submitting to a reduc-
tion on former rates of 6d. per cwt. Mocha met with little
attention, and 96 bales at auction were nearly all taked in.
COCOA.—This afternoon at public sale 113 bags of Bahia
Cocoa were taken in at 34s to 35s for fine bright red, and at
27s to 32s for damaged.
TEA.—For Black the market has assumed a brisker ap-
pearance, but for Green it is still generally in a quiet state.
In Congou a good business has been transacted during the
last few days, and a slight improvement in prices has taken
place; the lower kinds have been the most in request. In
Pouchong the operations are upon a more extended
scale. In Twankay there has been little passing, and
there are sellers upon easier terms. In Scented
Orange Pekoe there has been little passing, and
holders experience difficulty in getting more than 2s per lb
for fine. Flowery Pekoe is heavy of disposal, and prices are
little better than nominal; several parcels are pressing for
sale. Hyson has been in much better demand, but prices
have not improved. The lower sorts of Imperial and Gun-
powder are heavy of sale, and can be obtained upon rather
lower terms, but in the better qualities several purchases have
been made at the previous currency. Young Hyson is little
wanted. Caper sells slowly, upon former terms.
SPlCES.—Cassia Lignea has been in brisker demand, and
the parcels disposed of by private contract were at rather
higher rates; the market is still scantily supplied. For
Ginger the demand has fallen off for all descriptions, and
prices are looking down. Black Pepper has not,
risen in value, but there has been a brisker demand.
In Cinnamon few purchases have been made since the Tsar-
terly sales, but full rates are asked, especially for Ceylon of
first quality, of which the supply is scanty. Cloves are dull
of sale. For Nutmegs the home and export demand has
been limited, notwithstanding the late considerable decline
that has taken place in the value.
Hors.—Prices have not further given way, but there has
been only a limited business transacted in any kind, and
there is still a fair supply at market. The accounts from the
Plantations continue to be favourable in every respect.
The duty for the kingdom is estimated at 145,0001., and the
Worcester duty at 17,000/.
Srrurrs.—There has been a brisk demand for all kinds of
Jamaica Rum ; some parcels have been taken on speculation,
and a further advance in prices of 2d per gallon has taken
place. Leeward Island has been much sought after,
and further advanced rates are offered, but
few parcels are to be had. Calcutta has been purchased
with increased freedom, and prices are rising. In

Ous.—The market has been abundantly supplied with
Southern Oil, and prices have declined for the lower descrip-
tions, whilst the better sorts brought full rates. Cod is
otrered upon further reduced term!) ; still few pur-

chases have been made. There has been little
desire evinced to operate in Seal Oil. Sperm
has declined in value, the demand, however has been
good. For Linseed Oil the market has a dull appearance. the
supply is on the increase, and prices on the decline. Rape
Seed Oil has teen in letter demand, and less desire to realise.
For Olive a good demand has sprung up, chiefly for home
consumption, and merchants are not so willing to sell. In
Palm severa;purchases have been made, and prices are firm.
Cocoa Nut has been in good request, in consequence of the
small supply.
TALLOW.—There are sellers of Russian on the spot upon
further reduced terms • still few buyers are to be met with.
.50 casks at auction sold at 41s 3d, and 37 casks of Odessa
39s to 41s 3d. For forward delivery few buyers are to be met
with, although fine Petersburgh Yellow Caudle can be ob-
tained at 41s for the last three months of the year.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS,

_
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
Five o'clock.
SALE OF SPIRITS ON SUNDAY.
The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from Dal-
keith, praying for the stoppage of the sale of spirits on Sundays.
CHURCH-BUILDING ACT.

~...
On the motion of the Bishop of LONDON, this Bill was
read a second time.

BURIAL SERVICE ACTS.
The Bishop of LONDON said that these were two Bills to
enable the burial service to be read in chapels which had a
burial-ground common to two parishes, and he had now to
move the second reading of them.
The two Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Thursday.
Several Bills were brought up from the House of Commons,
and forwarded a stage,
ART UNIONS.
Lord MONTEAGLE, in moving the second reading of the
Art-Unions Bill, said the object of this Bill was to render the
temporary Bill of last session a permanent measure, the change
being suggested, not only by the necessities of the case, but
was urged by the petitions of Mr. Mulready, rlr. Stansfield,
Mr. Grant, and several others of eminent standing as artists.
There was every reason that this measure should be passed.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Monday.
PROTESTANT ASSOCIATIONS.:

The Earl of RADNOR begged to bring under the notice
of their Lordships the case of Mr. Shore, who had been cited
in the Eccleaiastical Courts by the Bishop of Exeter. The
Noble Lord, who was exceedingly inaudible in the gallery,
read a lengthened correspondence respecting the alleged terms
of agreement The chapel was to be endowed, but the Bishop
reserved to himself the right of approving the endowment of
the chapel, to which Mr. Store and afterwards Mr. Brown
had been appointed, and that explained the correspondence
between the Duke of Somerset and the Bishop's Secretary. The
Noble Lord then read a letter from a gentleman in the neighbour-
hood of Bridgetown, showing his assent, provided the Duke
would endow the chapel, and the Bishop would consecrate it.
The Duke ultimately declined to endow, and the Bishop of
course to consecrate, and he believed that a Noble and Learned
Lord was about to present a petition on the subject. He re-
gretted that the Noble Duke was not himself present to rebut
the accusations which had been made against him in his ab-
sence, and which were perfectly groundless, and with this state-
ment he would leave it to the House.
The Bishop of BATH and WELLS read a letter from the
Bishop of Exeter to himself, to justify the Duke of Somerset
from bad faith in not endowing the chapels, which he had cast
upon him at Exeter, and also a copy of the Bishop's letter to
Lord Radnor, stating the reasons why he did not appear in
the House of Lords. They were as follows :—Lord Seymour,
who was eldest sou of the Duke of Somerset, had called a
public meeting by handbill to justify his father among his
constituents at Totness. This afforded one cause, but
another arose from his being engaged in legal proceedings
against him there. The Right Reverend Prelate also
read another letter from the Bishop of Exeter to Lord Sey-
mour calling on him to justify his allegations against himself.
The reply was, that Lord Seymour declined all communication
with the Bishop of Exeter, and that he was not disposed to read
the Preston Times.
JOINT STOCK BANKS (SCOTLAND AND IRE-
LAND) BILL.
The Earl of EGLINTON, after presenting a petition from
Scotland against the Bill, said he must earnestly request tbe
Government to pospone the Bill till next session. In the early
part of the present session a deputation from Scotland waited
upon Sir R. Peel upon the subject of this Bill, anti that Right
Hon. Baronet promised to re-consider the measure before
he pressed it forward. They had been in hopes, therefore, that
when the present Government came into office, the Bill would
lave been postponed for .the present, but it was not to be so;
and the Bill had just come up to their Lordships' House
from the House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) He, however,
asked as a favour for Scotland, whose interests were bound
up in this Bill, that it might be put off till next session.
There were 18 joint-stock banks in Scotland, 5 have charters,
and 13 have not. The 13 banks which had not charters
were equally safe with those which had. But the five
which prossessed charters, had certainly an advantage
over the others, and the present Bill was for the purpose of
enabling the unchartered to becomeso. But if they took advan-
tage of this Bill they would lose the power of lending money to
their shareholders upon the security of their shares, a most impor-
tant advantage which the old chartered banks would still retain,
besides their cbarter was only granted for a period of twenty
years, and required that the accounts should be made up in a
most invidious manner. A Bill for a similar purpose had
been passed in the year 1844 for English banks, but there
was only one bank that availed itself of the advantages which
i t conferred, and he had authority for stating that not one
bank in Scotland would avail themselves of the powers granted
by the Bill, in which he recognised the principle of
centralization which was such a favourite of Sir Robert
Peel's, and which he considered a most vicious principle.
He could not conceive that those who adopted free trade prin-
ciples could countenance such a monopoly as the banks of
Scotland. Under these circumstances he must earnestly beg
her Majesty's Government would not allow the further con-
tinuance of this banking monopoly, or at all events postpone
this Bill till another session.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he thought it
would be improper at that late period of the session
to urge on Government any measure which was not known
to the public. But the present measure was not in
that position. It was understood by the other Heuse
of Parliament, and the present Governmena had received a
deputation from the chartered bankers of Scotland. Some
of the Glasgow bankers had certainly opposed the measure.
The bankers of Scotland, however, subsequently gave their
acquiescence in the Bill.
The Earl of KINNAIRD regretted to hear that the Bill
was to be pressed forward this session. It was not only a
banker's question but a landlord's question. It was modi-
fied on one occasion before, and he understood that
it would not be pressed forward without due notice being
given. He knew from what he had seen and heard of the feel-
ings expressed at county meetings, they were very much against
It. The chartered banks were in favour of the Bill, and they
were so because they knew that it would deprive many or all
of the unehartered banks from the advantages which they them-
selves possessed.
Earl GREY said that it would be better to postpone the dis•

cu.sion until they came to the second recond reading. If the

Bill was to pass, it was important that it should do so with
as little delay as possible.—(Hear.) He should, therefore,
suggest that it should be made an order of the day, to
be read a second time on Thursday, and the merits
of the Bill then discussed. He should then be able to show
his Noble Friend that there were reasons for passing the Bil
of which he (the Earl of Kinnaird) was not aware.
The Bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read
a second time on Thursday.
After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR and the
Earl of SHAFTESBURY,
The report was was brought up and agreed to.
