SUGAR DUTIES.

The rumours which have circulated during the day with
respected to Lord John Russell's intentions respecting the
sugar duties, have been numerous and varied. A report
which gained some credence in the outports a few weeks ago,
has been revived in London, to the effect that three rates of
duty will be adOpted :—One on colonial sugar, one on foreign
free-labour, and a third on foreign slave-labour. The rates
named have been 10s., 155., and 20s. per cwt. respec-
tively. Now, it requires no particular knowledge of Lord
John Russell's intention with respect to the sugar duties, to
know that their cannot be a word of truth in this rumour.
If a distinction be kept up at all on slave-labour sugar, it
can only be on the ground of excluding it from con-
sumption, but the moment the rate is reduced for the purpose
of admitting it to consumption, and with a view to increase
the revenue, it is impossible any longer to defend a different
rate. Lord John Russell's principle distinctly is, that
free and slave-labour sugar should be admitted on the same
terms. In the meantime the market for British Plantation
is somewhat duller, from the belief that foreign sugar will
be more freely admitted. The second sale of Chinese sugar
took place yesterday, but the prices obtained were scarcely
so good. We regret to find that the deliveries of sugar for
consumption in the ports of London, Liverpool, Bristol, Hull,
and the Clyde, show a falling off compared with the same
period last year. The following is the comparison to the
20th of June in each year :

There are several cargoes of foreign sugars reported in the
Channel ; but in the present state of uncertainty no transac-

bond, take place.—Chronicle.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JUNE 26.—The sup-
plies are again small. To-day there was a retail demand for
the best samples of fresh wheat for immediate consumption
at last week's prices ; for other descriptions scarcely any in-
quiry. Beans are held firmly for more money. Oats and
shelling each the turn lower. Malt again sold better.
THE PASSING OF THE CORN BILL.—The news of the
passing of this important measure arrived in Leeds yester-
day morning, at about ten o'clock, by the electric tele-
graph. Though there was no public demonstration on
the receipt of the glad tidings, we believe we may with
safety say, that individual rejoicing and congratulation have
seldom to a greater extent been manifested. By nearly all
parties the measure is hailed as a boon. It was the topic
of conversation for the day. By the free- traders it was re-
ceived with a strong degree of gratitude, like an old friend
after a very narrow escape. Rumours are afloat of general
illuminations on an early day in London, Manchester, Li-
verpool, Birmingham, Sheffield, Rochdale, &c., on a scale of
great magnificence ; and we believe, from the spirit already
manifested, that Leeds and other towns in the West Rking
will be prepared to show their appreciation of this important
commercial measure, either in the same or some other
public manner. Huddersfield, it is said, has determined
upon an illumination. In Leeds, as soon as the intel-
ligence arrived, a salute of 21 guns was fired at the
establishment of Messrs Kitson, Thomson, and Hewitson,
engineers, Hunset-lane. and all the men immediately tyraoyed
.
out, and gave three hearty cheers in expression of
