THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(YESTERDAY.)
DUBLIN.

The evidence in favour of the sitting Members' qualifica-
tion was brought to a close to-day, and the Committee, after
a short consultation, decided that the evidence had succeeded
in proving that Mr. Reynolds possessed a sufficient property
qualification to justify his retaining his seat.
The Committee then adjourned for an hour to enable the
parties concerned to determine whether they would proceed
with the cross petition alleging bribery against Mr. Grogan,
the other sitting Member for Dublin.

At the re-assembling of the Committee, Mr. James an-
nounced that he had been unable to get the parties who
instructed him together, and he must therefore request a
further adjournment.
The Committee acceded to this request, and adjourned till
to-morrow at half-past eleven o'clock.

RICE.—To-day East India was in brisk demand by pri-
vate treaty, and 3,552 bags at public sale sold at a further
advance of 6d, making the rise since Friday is per cwt.
Arracan, mid yellow fetched lOs to 103 6d. Bengal, good
mid dusty white 14s, and damaged lOs to 13s. 73 barrels
Tapioca only in part found buyers at 7d to Bd, and ord 3d to
314 d. 28 bags Carraway Seed taken in at 25s for Dutch.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 8 casks and 121 brls
Jamaica Ginger were only partly sold at rather lower rates.
Pimento met with less attention ; and 350 bags at auction
went rather cheaper, a part only finding buyers. 6 casks
Limed Nutmegs were taken in at 3s for good.
&num.—For Brandy a further increase is apparent in
deliveries, and on the part of holders there is firmnesss,
whilst a good demand exists. For Cognac best brands of
the vintage of 1847, the rates paid are 4s 9d to 4s 11d,
and 1847 ditto as 10d to 4s per gallon. Of Ge-
neva our stock is small, and there is a much brisker
demand; holders are enabled to obtain is Ild to 2s for com-
mon export sort, and 2s 6d to 3s 6d for fine fit for duty. In
British-made Spirits large sales have been made, and an ad-
vance in former prices is expected to take place. To-day
there was less demand for Rum, and former rates are not sup-
ported. Proof Leeward sold at is 7d to is Bd. At auction
105 hhds Ceylon sold at is 6d proof.
INDIGO.—To-day a public sale of 74 serons of Guatemala
went at stiffer rates, and all sold ; low Cortes to good middling
Sobres at 28 Id to 3s 4d.

SALTPETRE.—To-day Rough was sought after, and stiffer
rates were paid for the small parcels sold in the private
market. The value of low to fine is 24s 6d to 275. At public
sale 284 bags of Calcutta sugar, damaged and not refracted,
sold at 20s to 20s 6d per cwt.
COCIIINEAL.—To-day little desire was evinced to do busi-
ness at the public sales, which comprised 177 bags, a part
only sold at 3s 6d to Bs 10d for low to fine Mexican silvers,
being Id to 2d cheaper, but Honduras fetched full rates,
silvers 3s 8d to 4s 3d, and one bag of low black 2s lld
per lb.
OlLS.—Although Cocoa Nut is offered at a further re-
duction, yet on the part of exporters little desire has been
evinced to do business by treaty, whilst a part only of
45 pkgs of Ceylon at auction found buyers. Linseed Oil
does not improve in value, although the home trade
have extensive purchasers, and there is also a good export
demand, but the supply is more abundant.. For
forward delivery several contracts have been entered
into at 22s 9d, and on the part of crushers there is firmness.
For Rapeseed Oil the demand is active. For Olive the state
of the market is satisfactory, large purchases have been made
at firm rates. For Palm there is a brisker demand, and
holders appear less disposed to realise. Lard Oil is held for
42s to 455, and Ground Nut at 36s 6d to 37s ; few buyers are to
be met with. Of Fish Oils arrivals are of little moment since
our last report, and for all common sorts the market looks
firm, whilst the consumption is getting better. Southern
is much: in demand, and realises higher rates. At auction
60 tuns went briskly. Of Cod several parcels have been
taken privately at 23110 s to 241, and at which the market is
firm. Seal is not so much in request, but in the value we
have little variation to make known.

TALLOW.—Prices have suffered a further depression for
Russian on the spot, but soap makers and chandlers in con-
sequence have been induced to extend their purchases, and a
good business has been concluded. The rates paid are 43s 9d
to 44s for new, and 43s 3d to 43s 6d for old P. Y. Candle of
first quality. For delivery in the last three months of the
year several purchases have been made in new at 43s 6d per
cwt, and at which merchants are firm. Home made on the
spot is offered at 43s 6d to 44s nett cash, at which large
parcels have been sold ; the supply is yet plentiful. In the
valise of other sorts little variation has taken place. At
auction 219 casks of Odessa were all taken in at 435 6d for
ox, and at 43s for mutton ; 34 casks N. S. Wales were sold.
Rough Fat is still quoted at 2s 6d per stone, and there con-
tinues to be a plentiful supply.
