MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. E.)
SUGAR.—To-day the market presented a firm aspect
for raw Sugar, notwithstanding the increased quantity
brought forward, and shippers as well as home-trade
buyers were desirous to do business. The demand was
active for West India Muscovado, both for the
pan and scale, whilst the rates paid are fully equal
to those of Friday, and for all sorts. At public
sale 197 hhds 14 tierces and 146 barrels Barbadoes went
upon full terms, and all sold—fine yellow realized 425,
good middling and good 40s to 41s, middling 38s Gd to
39s 6d, low 37s to 38s, and brown 365; 534 hhds 36
tierces and 91 barrels Trinidad were disposed of at and
after the sale upon full terms—good yellow fetched 395,
middling 37s 6d to 38s, low 3Ga Gd to 375, good and fine
brown 35s to 36s per ewt. The total purchases to-day
reach 650 hhds and tierces.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods met with less atten-
tio❑ for home trade pirposes, and prices are not sup-
ported; brown grocery lumps selling at 53s to 53s 6d,
and to pass the standard 545; bonded crushed Sugar is
wanted for exportation at 26s 6d to 27a 6d.
MAURITIVS.—This afterncon Mauritius Sear was in
excellent request; and two parcels offered at public wale,
amounting to 90 casks and 1640 hags, sold upon full
terms: fine yellow went at 40s to 41s, good 39s to 39s
6 t, middling 37s 6d to 38s 6d, fine brown 365, washed
and syrppy 36s 6d so 40s 6d, brown ditto 28s 6d to 84s
7d per cat.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was much
better supplied with Madras Sugar. The quantity of-
fered at auction amounted to 7,030 bags, still the whole
sold upon 1 ull terms. Bengal is wanted, and 1,473 bags
,vent at the full worth.
FOREIGN.—TO, day there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, but privately several inquiries existed, and
two cargoes of yellow Havannah were sold afloat at 18s.
to IBs. 3d per cwt. for low quality.
COFFEE.—This alternoon the public sales of 2,035
bags and 7 casks Ceylon Coffee went off flatly, and a
r•tnail part only sold at barely former rates; 35 bales
Mocha sold at better prices; fine clean yellow at 65s 6d,
middling 525, and damaged 40 to 61s per cwt.
TEL—There is less activity in the market, which is
to be ascribed to the announcement of the public sales.
Holders display firmness, and insist upon full rates for
all sorts. None has been imported since this day week.
Congou of ordinary clean quality cannot be obtained
under 8d; Hyson Is, Gunpowder Canton is, and Im-
perial 10d perlb.

Ricz.—Today greater desire was shown to do busi-
ness in all sorts of Rice, and 3,581 bags Bengal at pub-
lic sale were nearly all sold at an advance on former rates
of 6d per cwt. Of Sago Flower 1,158 hags were all
taken in at 15s for good, but damaged sold at 8s 6cl to
13s 6d ; 47 bags Borneo Sago withdrawn ; 105 pkgs of
Arrowroot in part sold.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 405 pockets of Ma-
labar Pepper sold at kd per lb advance—fine heavy

3kd; 15 cases Nutmegs sold at stiffer rates; 190 bags

market, and prices are not so firm. Proof Leewards can
be obtained at Is 8d to Is 83d, East India Is 5d to Is 6d,
and Jamaica low to fine 28 to 38 overproot; not high
flavoured, 3s 3d to 4s 3d per gallon.
SALTPETRE.—A material increase has taken:place in
the demand for Rough by private treaty, and we have to
announce a rise in prices of 6d per cwt. On the part
of merchants there is firmness, and the market has been
less freely supplied, but some buyers continue the chief
operators. At aution 1553 bags Calcutta were sold.
English Refixed sells more freely at 28s 6d to 29s per cwt.
OILS.—For common descriptions of Fish Oils the
market has shown a brighter appearance, and on the
part of holders less disposition is manifested to sell. The
imports are nut of much moment since our last report,
but deliveries are upon an enlarged scale. Southern is
much in request, and former rates are well sus-
tained. At auction 74 tuns were all sold at 22/ 103
to 25/5s for ord to fine, and very low 2115 s to 221. Seal
has been largely dealt in, and a riso in the value is ap-
parent. In Cod several sales have been made at 24/ to
24155, aad at which rates there are not free sellers.
Sperm is brought freely to market, and holders are will-
ing. to make a further concession in the value, still
0 offered buyers

demand is good at 22s 9d. Rapeseed Oil finds a ready
sale at 35s 6d to 36s for pale, and 34s 6d to 35s for brown.
We have to announce a material improvement in the de-
mand for Olive. and an advance in prices. For Cocoa
Nut the demand is brisker, and holders appear less dis-
posed to press sales. Palm is held with firmness, and
there is a good trade. Lard Oil moves off slowly.
TALLow.—To-day there was less activity in the mar•
kat for Russian, and on the spot prices declined to 44s 3d
to 44s 6d for new, and to 43s dd to 44s per cwt. for old.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE

OF LORDS.

Their Lordships ;Ambled at Five o'clock.
The Salmon Breed Preservation Bill was road a third
time and passed.
The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was read a third
time and passed, after a few words from the Earl of
DESART and the Marquis of CLANRICARDE.
COPYHOLD BILL.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE asked what course it was in-
tended to pursue with regard to the Copyhold Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was not his in-
tention to proceed with the Bill during this session.
SICILY AND NAPLES.
Lord STANLEY, while he hoped to obtain an answer
to the question of which he had given notice last
night, thought it would be better to make a mo-
tion for papers, as it would enable him to ask
the Noble Marquis to enter more into details with
regard to the question of Sicily than ho would in giving
answers to a question. The success of the French re-
volution and the acknowledgment of the French republic
had given rise to an insurrection in Sicily, which for the
time had been successful. It was an acknowledged
principle that in all such cases foreign Governments
should maintain the strictest neutrality. On this
principle we had abstained from interfering in the affairs
of Italy, we had condemned German interference in the
affairs of Holstein, and we had praised the answer of M.
do Latnartine to the Irish deputation, mud if there was
any country in the world in which it was incumbent
to maintain the doctrine of non-interference it
was England, which had Ireland at its door,
with a large portion of the population al-
ways willing to accept foreign intervention to
shake off what they were unjustly taught to consider
the yoke of the mother country. It was most unfortu-
nate that at the period when the affairs of Naples re-
quired
great tact and judgment, the British Minister
should have been absent from his post, and the
conduct of affairs should have been left to an able
but an inexperienced young man. He believed the
the Noble Lord opposite, who had a roving nommission
to all the Southern Courts, happened to be at Rome at
the time of the Sicilian outbreak, and that he had been
invited, to come to Naples by the King, and to interfere
between the King and his revolted subjects. He believed
that although the Noble Earl had been invited to inter-
fere his advice had been disregarded by both parties. His
mediation was disregarded, and the Neapolitan troops
had been driven from Sicily. An insurrection followed
in Naples, which was at first successful, but afterwards
a reaction took place, and an agreement was come to be-
tween the King and the liberal party of Naples.
Measures were then undertaken by the King of
Naples to subdue his revolted subjects in Sicily,
With regard to the recognition by Foreign Powers, of
the independence of any revolted State, he thought that
no friendly Power should recognise such independence
so long as there was any chance of the friendly Foreign
power to which such revolted subjects owed alle-
giance, being enabled to make its supremacy re-
cognised.—(Hear, hear.) The self-constituted provi-
sional Government of Sicily proceeeded to consider the
form of government be established. Communications
were opened with the British authorities ; and it was
stated that a communication was made through the me-
dium of Mr. Fagan, an attachh of the British Embassy
at Naples, that it was the pleasure of the British Go-
vernment that the Sicilians should adopt the monarchical
form of government, and that they
.should choose as
their king the son of the King of Sardinia.
