MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Lyndon New Price Current of July 10.)
Susan.—To-day all kinds of West India were sparingly
dealt in, only 300 hhds and trcs finding purchasers, although
there are sellers upon rather lower terms, making the decline
in prices for the week is per cwt., and the total sales only
1,460 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To.day there was little desire shown to pur-
chase Refined goods for home consumption, and lower rates
are again taken, brown lumps according to quality selling at
66s 6d to 67s 6cf, and standard lumps 68s to 688 6d. Bonded
34s 6d to 35s per cwt for first quality.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was less activity in the Foreign
Sugar market; 4,703 chests of yellow Havannah were sub-
mitted to public sale, but nearly the whole was taken in at
nearly the previous value.
MAURITIUS.—IMNTIerS still refrain from offering any at
public sale, and the amount of business transacted privately
has been extremely limited in all descriptions, although there
are sellers upon lower terms.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 700 bags of Madras Sugar at
public sale were only in part sold at about the former value.
Privately there was very little business transacted in Bengal,
and none was offered at public sale.
TEA.—There has been an increased desire to operate in the
common descriptions of Congou this week ; a large business
has been transacted, without producing any advance in prices.
Peuchong is held with firmness, and the rates given have
been 3id to 9d low to fine quality. In the better
kinds of Twankay there has been little passing,
and sales can be made upon rather lower terms.
Imperial and Gunpowder are heavy of disposal, and prices
have a downward tendency. For Souchong the demand is
still limited ; although there are sellers upon easier terms.
Scented Orange Poltoe is little wanted. yson is wanted,
but at moderate rates. In Young Hyson several purchases
have been made, but prices do not improve. Scented Caper
has been sold to a fair extent at previous rates.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was only in li-
mited request, and 193 bales at auction were nearly all
taken in at about the former value—of Ceylon 2,459 bags
were submitted to public competition, the Native was all
taken abov,- the value; but the Plantation, of which the
chief part t, nsisted, all found buyers, in consequence of rather
lower rates being taken.

RlCE.—This afternoon at public sale 1087 bags of Bengal
Rice were sold at rather higher rates; but 1350 bags were
taken in much above the value, viz., at 14s 6d to 15s. Pri-
vately 8000 bags has been sold; 100 bags of Brazil at public
sale fetched 17s for good white bold grain, and 15s to 16s 6d
for sea damaged.
SPzcEs.—Although there are sellers of Black Pepper upon
previous low terms, still exporters and the home trade have
purchased with caution by private contract. Of 1,100 bags
of Malabar offered at auction, a small part only was sold.
Although White is cheap, still very few purchases have
been made privately, and none has been brought to public
sale. Nutmegs have been sparingly dealt in privately.
in Cinnamon a good business has been transacted in all kinds,
but the rates paid are not higher. The supply of Ginger is
less plentiful ; by private contract several parcels have been
sold at a shade higher rates for all sorts. Pemento is wanted
and the supply . continuing small, prices rule firm.
Although Cassia Ligna can be obtained upon moderate terms,
still there has been little passing privately, and none has
been qrought to public sale. Mace is much wanted, and
stiffer rates are offered, but the supply is small.
SPIRITS.—There has been an improvement in the demand
for the better descriptions of Jamaica Rum, and stiffer rates
have been obtained. In Demerara there has been a large
business transacted, and at firm rates. Leeward Island has
been much sought after, and stiff rates offered.
Calcutta is held with firmness, and several pur-
chases have been made, and holders show firmness. I
Brandy has been in improved request, and holders are less
inclined to sell, but the old sorts are yet the most in demand.
Geneva in fair demand for exportation, and sales at 2s to
2s 2d for common, and purchases of fine for home consump-
tion at 2s 4d to 3s per gallon. For Corn Spirits the market
is quiet, but prices remain firm. For Gin the value of 22 per
cent. under proof is 8s 10d, and 17 under proof 9s 4d per
gallon.
SALTPETRE.—The market has a firm appearance for Rough,
there has been a good demand from exporters and the home
trade, and the parccels sold privately were at rather higher
rates. At auction 1,292 bags have been offered, the Calcutta,
of which the chief part consisted, found buyers at stiffer
rates ; but Madras was bought in Gd. above the value. For
English Refined a good demand has existed. In Nitrate of
Soda the operations are upon a more extended scale.
Oms.—Prices continue to decline for Linseed Oil, the sup-
ply being on the increase.
.For forward delivery several
contracts have been entered into at 24s to 24s Gd per cwt.
In Rape Seed Oil several purchases have been made, but not
at better prices. In Palm a good business has been
transacted, but holders have submitted to rather lower rates.
Of Cocoa-nut Oil there is little in the market, but a better
supply may be looked for shortly. Olive has been sparingly
dealt in. Southern has been purchased with caution, not-
withstanding the low rates that prevail. For Seal rather
lower rates have been accepted. Sperm is not offered at any
further decline in Drives, but only a moderate business has
been transacted.

TALLOW.—This afternoon at public sale 100 casks of New
South \Vales Tallow went at steady rates; good to fine
at 39s 6d to 41s 6d, low and middling 37s 6d to
38s 3d. 207 casks Palm Oil fetched 23s to 28 per cwt for
low to tine.

BY THE QUEEN.— A PROCLAMATION.

VICTORIA, R.—Whereas by our Order in Council of
the nineteenth of May, in the present year of our Lord,
one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, and in
the ninth year of our reign, we were graci-
ously pleased, for the reasons therein contain-
ed, to annul the Royal Proclamation of His
late Majesty King William the Fourth, of the third
day of February, one thousand eight hundred and
thirty-six, directing that distribution should be
made of the net proceeds of prizes captured
from the enemy, of captures and seizures, under
the several Acts passed relating to the revenues
of Customs, and to trade and navigation, for the
abolition of the slave trade, and for the capture and
destruction of piralical vessels, and of the rewards
conferred for the same, as well as of awards and
allowances of salvage granted to the officers and
men of ships and vessels of war, when not other-
wise specially apportioned by the terms of the respective
awards and allowances: and whereas in the recital of the
said Order in Council in our Royal Proclamation, dated
the said nineteenth day of May, one thousand eight hun-
dred and forty-six, the following words, that is to say, " as
well as of awards and allowances of salvage granted to the
officers and men of ships and vessels of war, when
not otherwise specially apportioned by the terms
of the respective awards and allowances," were by
mistake omitted, and it is expedient that such mis-
take should be corrected : now, therefore, we do
make known to all our loving subjects, and all
others whom it may concern, by this our Royal Procla-
mation, by and with the advice and consent of our Privy
Council, that our said Proclamation of the said 19th day
of May, 1846, shall have the same force and effect, to all
intents and purposes, as if the said words so omitted by
mistake had been inserted therein.

Given at our Court at Buckingham Palace, this
sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and forty-six, and in the
tenth year of our reign.
