THE SUN, LONDON, TITESnAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1848.

white Pearl went at 195 to 193 Gd, damaged 8s 6d to
12s 6d, fine sound was taken in at 225. Sixty casks
Farina at 16s 6d per cwt.
Rim —To- day there was a considerable increase in
the supply of East India Rice, and as the demand for all
purposes was less active, holders experienced difficulty
in obtaining the rates previously current; indeed for
middling and the lower sorts they were compelled in
some cases to accept rather less money. Of the parcels
offered at public sale not above half sold.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon a better demand existed,
and at public sale 100 bags were mostly sold at full rates
to ld advance.--Honduras, low to good silvers realised
3s 9d to 4s Id; Teneriffe, middling and good black 3s 9d
to 4s, and Mexican silvers, good 3s ad to 3s 9d per lb.
SPlRlT.—Jamaica Rum has been less in request for
home trade purposes, and the export orders concluded
since our last report have been of little consequence. On
the part of merchants there is less firmness, and rather
lower rates have been accepted for all sorts, whilst
there is a plentiful supply. Only 250 puns have been
sold since this day week. Demerara is not much
wanted, and former rates cannot be obtained ; only 100
puns have been sold at 2s Sd to 2s 9d for 33 to 35 per
cent over proof, and 28 to 32 over 2s 4d to 2s 6d. In
Leward Island only small purchases have been made.
East India is not much wanted, and Is sid to is 60 is the
nearest value of proof with certificate. Havannah is held
Is 5d to is sid, few buyers are, however, to be met with.
For Brandy there is an increased demand, and prices
are on the advance, whilst deliveries are of a more sa-
tisfactory nature. Holders display firmness, and ob-
tain 4s 9d to 45 lid for Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1846, and 1847 3s 10d to 4s per gallon.
Of Geneva several parcels have been taken for
exportation at is 1 ld to Ss; there is a fair demand for
fine fit for home consumption at 2s 6d to 3s 6. There is
much firmness in the market for British made Spirits,
and prices are fully as high, with an extensive demand
and large coasuption. To-day few purchases were made
in Rum, and holders were disposed to accept Is 7id to
Is 8d per gallon for Leeward Island of plain quality.
TALLow.—Prices have not improved foe Russian,
although there has been a good demand from both
soap-makers and chandlers. On the part of merchants
there appears to be a desire to sell fine new P.C.
Candle at 44s to 44s 3d,, and old at 43s 6d to
43s 9d per cwt. For delivery in the last
three months of the year contracts have been
concluded at 43s ad to 43s 6d, but at which there are
ready sellers. Home-made largelS, dealt in at 435 6d to
44s 6d nett cash, there is still a plentiful supply. For
other sorts prices have ruled firm, and the purchases
made are upon an enlarged scale. At auction 460 casks
of New South Wales were sold. Rough Fat is 2s id per
stone.
OILS.—The public sales declared for Friday comprise
40 tuns of Sperm, 75 of Southern, 20 of Seal, and 40
tens of Cocoa Nut. Arrivals have been larger than
in the former week, still the market for common Fish Oils
is looking better, whilst deliveries are on the increase
For Seal the demand has been brisk, and a further ad-
♦ance in the value is apparent. Southern met with a
good demand by private treaty, and former rates
are well kept up, the supply is also less plentiful. At
auction 20 tuns were sold. Cod is rather cheaper.
Importers of Sperm continue anxious sellers, and sub-
mitted to further reduced rates ; buyers are cau-
tious in their mode of doing business. For Cocoa
Nut there is not much demand, and prices are
on the decline, as the supply is more abundant.
At auction 36 casks of Ceylon were sold at
39s to 405 per cwt fur good. Linseed Oil cannot be
quoted higher. Rapeseed Oil is much in request, pale
at 35s 6d to 365, and brown 34s 6d to 355. Olive has
been largely dealt in, and prices are still on the advance.

new species of marine glue. They had the testi-
mony of several eminent officers, who had used the
glue for years in various parts of the world, that it
possessed invaluable qualities, as it was perfectly imper-
vious to "rater, and held so firmly that cases had oc-
curred in which a saw had to be used to separate parts
glued together with it. It also possessed no offensive
smell. The article was not in much favour with the
dockyards, as these great public establishments were
conducted on the principle of "tearing to pieces," instead
of "mending "—of, in fact, making waste, in order that
an undue complement of men might be employed. He com-
plained that the glue had not been fairly tried, and blamed
the Government for the way in which they had treated
Mr. Jeffery and his valuable invention. The Hon. and
Gallant Member read a quantity of correspondence, and
cited testimonials in favour of the glue from various
shipowners, saying that a large saving would be ef-
fected by its use. He trusted the Admiralty would do
Mr. Jeffery justice.
Lord J. HAY denied that masts were pulled to pieces
when they were sound. The objection to Mr. Jeffery
was this, that the timbers of which masts were con-
structed could not be separated in order that a decayed
spar might be taken out if the marine glue were used.
The invention was an admirable one, and the Admiralty
bad given directions that the decks of all new ships
except the lower should be " paid" with it. He thought
the Admiralty were justified in not using it for the

lower decks.
Mr. WARD said discussions of this kind were ex-
tremely inconvenient. Mr. Jeffery demanded 30,0001.
as compensation. Now this appeared to him a most
exorbitant sum—far too high, and one which he
was sure the House would not consent to. The inven-
tion must be judged by its merits alone, and so judging
it the Admiralty considered it not worth that sum; if
high terms were demanded they would preclude the use
of the glue in the dockyards altogether.
Captain PECHELL explained that he had never
mixed himself up with any pecuniary matters.—(Hear,
hear.) He then drew attention to the management of
the Hasler Lunatic Asylum, and complained that many
of the relatives of those unfortunate officers confined in
in it were in the workhouse.
Captain BERKELEY said many of the officers were
I admitted out of charity, and no tunds were at the dis-
posal of the Admiralty out of which to relieve their re-
latives.
Upon the vote for ball-pay officers being read,
Captain PECHELL drew the attention of the House
to the subject, and suggested that, by an arrangement,
a sum in savings might be created, out of which the
widows and families of officers and of warrant officers
might be relieved. H. also observed that the practice
of withdrawing pensions from widows who re-married
was a matter which ought to be re-considered. The
practice, as it appeared to him, operated to prevent
widows entering into the marriage state according to the
rites of the Established Church, their minds being
impressed with the immoral fact that living in an mi.?
married state was the only course by which they could
save their pensions. Upon the ground, therefore, of
morality, he thought the subject should be taken into
consideration by the Admiralty.
Mr. HUME called the attention of the Secretary of
the Admiralty to the necessity of a reform in the ma-
nagement of the dockyard establishments. He stated
that 30,0001. had been foolishly expended by the Go-
vernment in converting good workmen who were em-
ployed in those establishments into bad soldiers, and he
hoped the Admiralty, during the recess, would direct
their attention to the subject, with the view of putting
an end to such a wasteful and unnecessary expenditure.
Mr. WARD thanked the Honourable Member for not
dividing the House, and observed, that as the practice of
drilling the workmen into soldiers had long continued,
it would not be now prudent to do away with it.
The Report was then agreed to.
PAROCHIAL DEBT AND AUDIT BILL.
Upon the motion that the report upon this Bill be
agreed to, a short discussion ensued upon the principle
of auditing the accounts of Poor-law Unions, in which
Mr. Urquhart, Mr. Buller, and Captain Pechell took part.
The report was then agreed to and ordered to be en-
grossed.
RENEWABLE LEASEHOLD CONVERSION

Upon the motion for going into Committee upon this
Bill,
Mr. LAW moved as an amendment that the House
should go into Committee that day six months.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he understood it was the
unanimous feeling of the House that no further opposi-
tion should be offered to the Bill upon the understanding
that it was mot to proceed through all its stages this

cellency the Viscount Palmerston, Principal Secretary

Mr. LAW considered it was his duty to oppose the
further progress of the measure, unless he had a guaran-
tee that the estates belonging to the Irish Society, as
settled and guaranteed by James the First in
his charter, would be exempted from its provisions.
Ho trusted the House would not trifle with the charter
by which the society was established, and deprive the
society of the only character by which it could do any
good, namely, that of landlord in Ireland. The Hoe.
and Learned Member, not persevering in his amend-
ment, the Hoas• resolved itself into Committee on the

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(Frora the London New Price Current of Aug. 15.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a decrease in the demand
for raw Sugar for all purposes, and as supplies were
plentiful a decline in the value of nearly all sorts took
place, and merchants were ready sellers. Ouly a limited
demand existed for West India, either for the pan or
scale, although the rates taken are 6d per cwt under
those of Friday. At auction 216 hhds, 33 trcs, and
68 brls Barbadoes a small part only sold upon rather
lower terms; fine yellow went at 411 to 425, good 39s 6d
to 403 6d, mid 38s to 395, and low 37s 6d to 38s; 458
hhds, 87 trcs, and 299 brls Trinidad were taken in at the
full value; good strong grey at 38s to 38s 6d, mid 37s to
37s 6d, ord 36s to 36s 6d, brown low and mid 35s to

porters at 26s 6d to 27s id per cwt.

Fonztorr.—Today there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, and privately few inquiries existed for hone
use or exportation, prices are also looking down. Two
cargors of flue yellow Havannah at 20s to 20s 6d, and
one of white at 28s per cwt for all the latter purposes.
MOLASSES.—Of West India, the deliveries are upon a
large:scale, and still exeeed:nrrivals. Purchasers to a
fair extent have been made ; fine at.l9s to 20s, and low
to good 16s to 18s 6d. Of all sorts there is a falling off
in arrivals compared with this time last year of nearly
9,000 puns, &c.; but deliveries are smaller by 1,600, and
there is a falling off in the stock of 1,300 puns, &c.
CoNNEE.—This afternoon three parcels of Ceylon
amounting to 96 casks and 2,758 bags were offered at
public sale, but a small part only sold at rather lower
rates. Plantation, good, went at 610 to 645, good mid-
dling 54s to 58s, middling 48. to its, low middling 428
to 465, fine fine ordinary 36s id to 40s 6d, fine 32s to

60s to 645, native good ordinary 29s to 29s 6d, and da-
maged 24s to 275. Of Jamaica 62 tra and 28 bags were
sold at lower prices, middling went at 52s to 555, low
middling 45s to 465, fine fine ordinary 38s to 425, fine
ordinary 34s 6d to 35s 6d, good ordinary 301 to 325,
ordinary 21s to 301, and triage 221 to 27a 6d per cwt.

been satisfactory since Tuesday last last, the demand
limited, and we have to announce a decline in the pricos

THE CHOLERA,
The following instructions concerning the cholera were
addressed to the country people in Russia by authority
of the Government, and are worthy of attention here :
" It has been remarked that just before the appear-
ance of the cholera in a district, the inhabitants are

troubled more than usually by diarrildess and other com-
plaints, trifling under ordinary circumstances, but which
in the presence of the epidemic, are apt, it neglected, to

degenerate into real cholera cases.
" It is well known from the experience obtained in
1830 and 1831 that the cholera is in itself generally nut
contagious, but that it may become so, like some other
diseases, if many sick are kept crowded together.
" The cholera has been found to be most destructive
in villages situated on low and marshy grounds, or near
bogs and stagnant pools, and particularly where the in-
habitants are confined withi❑ narrow space, and live un-

mindful of cleanliness.
" It has been further observed that those dtjected in
spirits and easily alarmed are more subject to cholera
than those who live in confidence and are of good
courage.
" The preceding remarks having been made, the fol-
lowingare the precautions recommended for observance
against cholera:—
" To beware of catching cold, and particularly to pro-
tect the stomach from cold, for which purpose to wear a
broad belt of cloth or stout flannel upon the skin around
the waist ; not to lie upon the bare ground, nor to sleep
at night in the open air. After sleep or hard labour,
when in perspiration, to drink no water or other beverage
cold ; to drink nu acid beverage, and never much
at is draught ; to beware of all things of intoxi-
cation; to use light food and moderately; to eat
no bread insufficiently baked, no crude vegetables, no un-
ripe fruits, nor meat or fish not perfectly fresh, and to
abstain from salted meats and pickled fish that provoke
thirst; to keep the person and the dwelling clean, and to
allow of no sinks close to the house, to admit no poultry
or animas within the house, and to keep it airy by ven-
tilation. Where there are sick let nut the place be
crowded.
" Notwithstanding the best precautions, the cholera
may at times break out. The following are its symp-
toms, and the treatment to be pursued with perseverance
and confidence t—
" A person in good health may be suddenly attacked
by cholera, at first sickness the eye-sight dimmed, then,
after a shiver and rumbling in the bowels, ♦omiting and
purging, with acute pains below the breast, under the
ribs, and on the left side, attended by quenchless thirst.
If the patient be not quickly succoured, cramps ensue in
the legs and arms, which become of icy coldness, extreme
weakness comes on, and a deadly paleness, the whole body
becomes cold, then a hiccough, and other signs of ap-
proaching death.
" On the appearance of the first symptoms let medical
aid be immediately called; but if that cannot be obtained,
the treatment necessary is as follows:
"Let the patient be warmly covered.
" Let his whole body be well rubbed with warm vinegar
or brandy; likewise his hands and feet and pit of the
stomach with clear tar, or, if none can be had, with strong
brandy.
" 3. Let the patient take, in frequent and small quan-
tities, a warm and light infusion of mint, or of the
essence of mint, one or two drops at a time, with sugar.
" 4. If there be no abatement of pain or vomiting, a
' blister of mustard should be applied to the pit of the
stomach.
" 5. If all the same symptoms still continue, and the
patient be of a strong constitution, then apply leeches
to the same place, 12 to 20 for an adult, and for children
6 to 10; but, it of a weak constitution, let no leeches be
used without the advice of a physician.
" 6. A warm bath, if ready and near, may be used
with benefit, otherwise a ♦apour-bath may be prepared
at home thus :—Heat some stones or bricks, and over
them place a bedstead with a netted bottom, upon which
let the patient be stretched, well covered ; then throw
the vinegar upon the hot stones, whence steam will
arise conducive to perspiration, aided by the frictions,
which must not be discontinued. For want of this vapour
bath, place around and in contact with the patient
bags of heated sand or ashes.
" Observations—During the present epidemic no tip-
_ plications have been found so efficacious as strong
frictions, either with the naked hand, with a cloth, or
with a brush, using clear tar or some other irritant.
;„, The essence of peppermint may be used more freely
than heretofore prescribed.
" Great care must be observed during convalescence,
for the cholera is often followed by typhus fever."

had been the means of forming, promoting, and carrying
on rebellion in that country fifty years ago. Now in
modern times, in the reign of the existing sovereign,
secret societies, under the name of clubs, have been
formed all over Ireland, which clubs it was obvious were
the means of organisation and discipline against her
Majesty's Government in that country, and which
dabs could only be pat down by means of that
amendment of the law which was now pro-
posed by the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack,
He (the Duke of Wellington) knew the nature of mili-
tary operations, and he could tell their Lordships that a
measure of this kind was absolutely necessary, and must
be carried into effect with activity, in order to put down
without.-extraordinary-and _enormous bloodshed the state
of things which now existed in Ireland. It had been
said that remedial measures ought to precede this; but
he would remind the Noble Earl opposite (the Earl of
Shrewsbury) that the last forty years had been passed
in adopting measures to improve the condition of Ireland,
and there had not been a single session in which many
measures had not been adopted by all Governments to
effect that object. The Noble Earl had complained of
the oaths administered to their Lordships on taking their
seats in that House, and seemed to think that these oaths
had bees unjustly imposed. Now he (the Duke of
Wellington), having been in this and the other House
of Parliament for a very considerable number of
years, had some recollection of the origin of - the oaths
complained of by the Noble Earl, and if he was not very
much mistaken every one of those oaths was founded on the
propositions contained in the petitions of those who were
afterwards to take those very oaths. Those petitioners de-
manded certain concessions from Parliament, and it was
required that some protection ought to be secured to
that institution which he trusted the Legislature would
never cease to protect—the Established Church. The
petitioners accordingly suggested these oaths, and he could
prove that these oaths were framed on the model which
those petitioners furnished. Therefore, the Noble Earl had
no ground for complaint with respect to these oaths. It
did not, however, signify what had been done or what
remained to be done, he (the Duke of Wellington) con-
tended that the measure now before the House was ab-
solutely necessary to maintain the government and the
state of society in Ireland. At present the whole country
was occupied by clubs, chiefly organised for the promo-
tion of military operations ; and these clubs or secret
societies must be put down.—(Hear, hear.) Let any
man read the accounts which had been given with so
much parade of the review by one gentleman at Cork,
of. from 2,000 to 3,000 men, and then say that these men
had not been assembled by organised signals from Dub-
lin.—(Hear, hear.) If such was the case, was not the
measure necessary ? He. hoped ;the Government were
determined to put down thesis clubs, and to enable them
to' do so he supported this.Bill.—(Hear.)
:The,Earl of DESART expressed his surprise et the
tohe in which the Noble Earl opposite (the Earl of
Shrewsbury) had spoken of the property of the Estab-
lished Church of Ireland. If the principle the Noble
Earl laid down held good, it applied equally to all pro.
peity, and sanctioned the communism by which every
men would be permitted to judge whether his neighbour
hdd enough or too much property. He should have ex-
pected the Noble Earl would have repudiated such a
principle.aln his opinion Ireland had been too long made
the object of conciliation instead of government. Go-
vernment was what she wanted, and that he hoped she
would have.
The Earl of GLENGALL said ho never had heard
a speech in that House which gave him so much satis-
faction as that delivered by the Noble Marquis that
evening. The Bill he thought good as far as it went,
and ho hoped it would have the erect of putting down
those clubs, which he certainly thought could not be
put down by the ordinary operation of the law. But
he regretted that the Government had not resolved
to go one step further, and suppress the Repeal 111110•
elution, to which, and to the agitation carried on through
its agency, and to the pestilential and seditious doctrines
which emanated from it, he entirely attributed the mi-
sery of Ireland. He did not believe that by this Bill,
aided by the common law, the Government had the
power to put down that association, which was only giv-
ing rise to the existence of a group of venal hypocrites
and sordid impostors, and unless they did put it down
they would be doing nothing but an infinity of mischief.
He, therefore, hoped they would apply to Parliament
before the session closed for powers to enable them to
suppress
,that pestilential body, and with it the repeal
agitation. He was satisfied that if agitation were sup-
pressed for even five or six years prosperity would soon
tollow, and Ireland become a source of wealth to the
nation, instead of being forced to look to the public ex-
chequer for support. With these opinions he should
certainly feel it his duty to move a clause when
their Lordships went into Committee, having for
its object the immediate suppression of the Repeal
Association. lie was also of opinion that they
ought to revive the jury clause of the Co-
eteion Bill of 1833 for constituting military juries;
