MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 16.)
StmAx.—Today the market for West India sugar presented a
firm appearance ; there was a good business transacted in all descrip-
tions at prices fully equal to those of Friday ; indeed in some c ases
grey and bright yellow descriptions brought a small advance..
REFINED.—To-day Relined goods were much wanted by the home
trade, but few parcels of any kind could be obtained, and prices are
still on the advance. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted, and prices
are firm.

Memunus.—This afternoon several enquiries existed privately
and the parcels sold were at rather higher rates, indeed the supply
at market is getting insufficient for the demand.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was a good demand for Bengal
Sugar, and 1,724 bags at public auction sold 6d per cwt above fernier
rates.

SPIRITS.—To-day the demand was good for all kinds of Rum and
prices are rising; proof Leuwards selling at 2s 3d to 2s Wel, Cal-
cutta is 1114 d to 2s proof, and common to fine Jamaica at 3s 3d to
4s 6d per gallon ; the market has decidedly an improving appearance.
FOBEIGN.—To-day the market was much better supplied with all
descriptions of Brazil Sugar, but business was checked by the stiff
rates insisted upon. At public sale 559 cnses 21 boxes 44 brls of
white, and 185 cases 66 boxes 48 brls of ttrown Bahia were offered,
and nearly all taken in 6d to Is per cwt above the value.
TES.—Today there was little desire evinced to operate in black or
green Tea at the public sale, low as prices are ; although there was a
good attendance of the trade, and merchants generally disposed to
make some concession in prices. The quantity offered was larger
than has been the case for some time, and amounted to 34,616 pkgs.
The biddiugs were extremely limited for all kinds, and of the total
quantity passed the chair amounting to 13,000 pkgs ; the small por-
tion of only 1,000 pkgs actually lound buyers upon rather lower terms.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced to operate
in Rio Coffee, and 20 casks 806 barrels and 336 bags at auction were
taken in at moderate rates. In Ceylon there was little passing pri-
vately in any kind, and holders experienced difficulty in getting 42s
to 43s for small parcels of good ordinary pale native. one was
offered at auction. Mocha met with attention.

SPICEF.—To-day Black Pepper was only in limited demand, and
458 bags 347 pockets at auction sold at rather lower rates.

RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice met with less attention, and the par.
cels offered at auction, amounting to 6,688 bags were only In part
sold at former rates.

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT

(THIS EVENING.)

MOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock.
GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.
On the motion for the further consideration of the report
on the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway Bill,
Mr. HOPE JOHNSTONE, moved that it be taken into
consideration upon that day six months. From the
noise that prevailed it was very difficult in the gallery to
catch the precise import of the Hon. Gentleman's obser-
vations. He was understood to call the attention of the
House in the first place to the report of the Board of Trade
on the railway communication afforded by the Caledonian line.
The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to read extracts from a
printed paper to the following purport :
" The Caledonian Railway follows the route which, on public
grounds, was preferred by the Government Commissioners in
1841, and by the Board of Trade and Committees of both
Houses of Parliament in 1845, ' as giving better trunk com-
munication for all the more important streams of traffic.'
"It was unsuccessfully opposed before all of these tribunals
by the promoters of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle
scheme.
" In their report of the 13th of March, 1845, the Board of
Trade stated that it is quite elear that the trhffic from Scot-
land to the south would not be sufficient at present to support
two competing systems; and that if the one be sanctioned,
the other, or so much of the other as directly competes with
it, must be rejected. In this point of view, the 'Caledonian
and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle lines are absolutely
inconsistent with each other.'

" The decision of last year was arrived at by the Committees
of both Houses of Parliament after the fullest inquiry, nearly
one hundred witnesses having been examined in the House of
Commons ; and it having been admitted by both parties
throughout the proceedings that the traffic was insufficient to
justify the construction of both lines.
" Thereafter the Committee on the Bill, in their report to
the House, stated—' A Report by the Board of Trade has been
referred to your Committee, and the decision of your Com-
mittee appears to be substantially in accordance with the re-
commendations contained in such report.'
"Nevertheless, the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme
has been again brought forward this session, and the Committee
on the Bill has declared the preamble of the Bill proved,
thereby directly reversing the deliberate judgment of the Le-
gislature last session, and of the other tribunals before referred
to. They have also rejected certain branches proposed by the
Caledonian Company, for the accommodation of the lateral
traffic, on which their calculations of last year were founded,
and have thus deprived the Caledonian Company of all lateral
traffic for 70 miles of their line, being the portion between
Carlisle and Lanark.

" This decision, if confirmed, is calculated, more especially
during the present pressure on capital, to inflict serious injury
on the Caledonian Railway, which involves an expenditure of
upwards of two millions sterling, and which is new being exe-
cuted with all possible expedition, upwards of ten thousand
men being at present engaged on the works.
" Under these circumstances, the present appeal is respect-
fully made to the House, for the protection of a great national
work which was undertaken and contracted for on the faith of
the preference awarded to it by the Legislature last year, and
on the distinct understanding that the opposing scheme would
not receive the sanction of Parliament. The question is, whe-
ther the decision of the Legislature last year, or the decision
of the Committee this year, is to be sustained, the latter being
entirely inconsitent with, and subversive of the former."
It was quite impossible that the report referred to of the Board
of Trade on that Bill could not but take with the public. It
was very certain that that report was calculated to make a
great impression on the public mind. After the full inquiry
that had been made, the decision of the Committee was totally
inconsistent with the decision given by the Committee during
tahtirser:,adlas session, and also with the report of the Board of
oturf Trade.urede e 0 n
