MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London ffew Price Current of Jan: .27.)

SUGAR.—To-day an increased dullness prevailed in the
market for all description of home trade Sugar, and prices
must be regarded as nominal. In West India there was
scarcely any business transacted. Mauritius was not asked
for, and the only public sale was that of a small one of
Bengal.
REFINED.—To-day the home-trade purchased Refined
Goods with caution, and rather lower rates were taken,
brown grocery lumps selling at 62s 6d to 633, and standard
lumps 63s 5d to 649 per cwt. The market for Bonded
Crushed Sugar is firm at 34s for first quality.
MAarritta—There are sellers, by private treaty, of all de-
scriptions, upon rather lower terms, still the business trans-
acted has been extremely limited, and none has been sub-
mitted to public competition.
EAST INDLL—This afternoon 125 bags of Bengal Sugar in
bond, at public sale, went at rather lower rates.
FOREIGN.—In consequence of what has transpired in the
House of Commons with respect to commercial measures, a
stronger desire has been manifested to purchase all descrip-
tion of Foreign, but holders insisting on an advance of 6d to
Is per cwt. has prevented purchases of moment.
Tza.—ln Congou a good business has been transacted, and
a further advance has taken place, common sound bringing
101,4 d, and good common lld to Is. Pouchong has been
,in excellent request, and stiffer rates are given. In Twan-
kay several purchases have been made, and prices rule firm.
ilyson sales to a large extent have been made, and 2s to
is 2d are the rates paid for ordinary quality. Of Imperial
and Gunpowder several parcels have been sold at fully
former rates.
SPIRITS.—To-day there was a much better demand for
Rum, and several parcels of various sorts were sold at higher
rates. The closing price of proof Leewards was 2s Id to 2s
2d per gallon.
Corium—To-day there was no public sale of any kind of
Coffee ; home trade sorts were purchased with caution by
private treaty, but holders would not take lower rates. Ship-
ping kinds were mach asked for, and prices are still on the
advance.
Hors—The amount of business transacted in all descrip-
tions has been to a small extent only, but factors for the
most part are unwilling to take lower rates.
Rica.—To-day East India Rice met with little attention,
and at a public sale of 1,369 bags of Bengal, prices declined
6d to is per cwt. Low small broken and dusty white went
at 13s 6d to 14s, ordinary yellow cargo rather dusty 12s to
12s 6d, and sea damaged 12s per cwt.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

-
Their Lordships met to-day at Five o'clock.
The Duke of RICHMOND laid upon their Lord-
ships' table a Bill to prevent the sale of spirits at toll-
bars in Scotland.

The Earl of MINTO presented petitions from various
parts of Scotland in favour of a total and immediate
repeal of the corn-laws.
The Earl of STRADBROKE presented 37 petitions
from places in; Suffolk in favour of the present system
of protection.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from
Ross against any alteration in the corn-laws. He would
take this opportunity of stating that a person of the
name of Feargus O'Connor had asserted that he
bad received a proposal from him (the Duke
of Richmond) to induce him to desert his pre-
sent principles, and advocate those entertained in favour
of the corn-laws. Now he begged to say that lie had
never directly or indirectly had any communication with
that individual, that he had never attempted to buy any-
body, and never would, because `he believed that if
men would take money to abandon a cause, they were
not to be trusted.

Earl GREY presented a petition from Forress in
favour of the repeal of the corn-laws.
THE .NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the re-ap-
pointment of the Committee with respect to the building
of the new Houses of Parliament.-ocdered.
RAILWAYS.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to ask the
Noble Earl at the head of the Board of Trade a ques-
tion with reference to the progress of railway Bills in
that House. He understood that in the House of
Commons a Committee had been moved for with respect
L railways. Now he thought that a bad mode of pro-
ceeding, and one altogether unworthy of the Govern
meat of the voantry, because it was in fact shifting the
responsibility of the Government. The labours of the
Committee of the Board of Trade last session
had done little or no good, because instead of reducing
the evil of the gambling system it had imcreased it.—
(Hear, hear.) Now, what he wanted to know was whe
Ih!y any distinction would be made with respect to
Irish
. railways? If the Government were desirous of
providing employment in Ireland they could not do so
batter than by aiding and expediting the completion of
s
such works as Parliament
hould think it proper to
sanction. He wished to know whether the appointment
of the Committee would cause any delay in the intro-
duction of Irish railways?
The Earl of DALHOUSIE said that the appointment
of that Committee would not cause any delaynot eitherr to
the Irish or Scotch railways. He would intod
the question now, as it was his intention one,i'llur
next to bring the whole question before the Hos ay
'rho Noble Earl then gave notice that he should, on
Thursday, next bring before their Lordships the whole
question as to the manner in which that House would
consider the different railway Bills that should come
before it.
On the mot:on of the Puke of BUCCLEUCH, re-
turns were ordered relative to the Dublin metropolitan
police.

_noon (IIaLAND)
The Earl of CLANCARTY gave notice of his inten-
tion, on Thursday, the sth of February, to move for the
appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the
operation of the laws with re,peA LO the destitute and
sick poor in Ireland.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
