might have acquitted themselves better, but no one could
have done it with more sincerity or with feelings of
higher admiration for the noble military service in
which you are a distinguished officer."
At the close of Mr. Hamilton's address, each officer
and private received from the hand of the Resident his
medal. Owing to the immense number to be given, the
shades of evening had set in before the distribution was
ended. This interesting ceremony being over, the
troops marched past, and proceeded to their respective
lines. A dinner was given to the Resident by Colonel
Woodburn, C. 8., and a grand ball took place at the
mess-room, at which all at and around Mhow were as-
sembled. Preparations for the march of the Bombay
troops are in active progress, but it is feared they will
be subjected to great inconvenience, owing to the great
scarcity of water below the Ghauts. Colonel Finish,
C. 8., and Major Jones, arrived at Mhow on the 23d
instant, from Bombay.

and the public to meet for the purpose of recording in a

so disintereatedly.—(Cheers.)
Alderman THOMPSON, M.P., rose to move the first re-
solution. "It afforded him, he declared, great pleasure
to meet with those who had assembled for such a pur-
pose.—(Hear, hear.) He had often thought that the
corporation had neglected their duty in not having,
while Mr. Jones was amongst them, done something to his
honour, but as that had not been done, he thought it was
necessary for the public to come forward and do honour
to'such high public exertions as had been made for the
advantage of London by that able and zealous friend of
the citizens. He regretted that he could not in a short
speech express the obligations which, as a mer-
chant, an alderman, and a citizen, he owed to
Mr. Jones.—(Loud cheers.) To him this great
city owed much. Its bridge, inconvenient, old,
and dangerous, had been replaced by an elegant
structure, the admiration of all, and in every respect
highly beneficial to commerce. The streets had been
widened and improved, and new streets had been opened.
A new Exchange had been erected, and notwithstanding
all the vast outlays occasioned by these improvements
the finances of the Corporation had sustained no dimi-
nution. Much of all this had been done by the advice
and under the superintendence of Mr. Jones, and to that
excellent individual he was satisfied his fellow citizens
owed a debt of lasting gratitude. He cheerfully moved
the resolution.
RICHARD THORNTON, Esq., seconded the resolution,
in a neat but energetic speech, in which he dilated on
the service rendered by Mr. Jones, and concurred in the
sentiments of his friend, Mr. Alderman Thompson.
which was put and carried unanimously.
PHILIP GREEN, Esq., moved the next resolution, and
in so doing said, even on grounds of honesty, Mr. Jones
was entitled to praise, for before the removal of old
London-bridge many accidents had occurred, but he had
not heard of one since the new structure had been
erected.
JAMES HUTCHINSON
speech full of ability.
Jonas' DENT, Esq., moved the third resolution, and
said that as a neighbour and a friend and a citizen, he
perfectly concurred in all that had been said of Mr.
Jones's services, and was glad to find that others as well
as himself appreciated public service, rendered with such
a cheerful spirit.—(Hear, hear.)
Alderman CHALLIS said be was glad to find that
public attention had been directed to the subject. He
felt assured the best way to reward public men was to
give them public honour. Benefactors to their race
were entitled to praise, and he was glad to find, in the
life-time of Mr. ,Tones, his fellow citizens were doing
themselves honour by honouring one who had worked
well for the public.—(Great applause.)
Several other addresses were made by Mr. Chamber..
lain Brown, the Common Sergeant, Alderman Wood,
John Dillon, Esq. (of the fiim of Morrison, Dillon, and
Co.) and others ; and, after an unanimous vote of
thanks had been passed to the Right Hon. the Lord

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 9.)

SuGAa.—Although there were sellers of all descriptions
of West India Muscovadoe Sugar, at a reduction on the rates
of Friday of 6d per cwt, still the trade were even less inclined
to operate, and the demand for Refining as well as for Gro-
cery purposes was rather limited.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were much sought after
by the home trade, but few parcels were to be had. Bonded
Crushed Sugar met with ready purchasers and higher rates
were paid.
MAuurrius.—This afternoon there was no public sale of
Mauritius Sugar, and the small parcels disposed of privately
were at barely former prices.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon cf Bengal Sugar 3743 bags
at public sale were sold at a decline on former rates of 6d to
Is for white, and brown quality 6d per cwt cheaper.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 100 barrels, 3
cases of Bahia Sugar were sold at stiffer rates, very fine
yellow at 21s, tine brown 20s to 20s 6d, middling 18s, and
low at 17s 6d ; 103 brls of Bahia Rapadura taken in at 16s.

COFFEE.—this afternoon three Parcels of Ceylon Coffee,
amounting to 2176 bags, were brought to public sale ; mer-
chants were inclined to realise, but submitting to a reduction
on former rates of 6d to is for Native and 6d per cwt
for Plantation caused the whole to find buyers.
TEA.—In Congou purchases to a fair extent have been
made, but holders are unable to obtain any advance in prices,
they accept 9d to 91-d for common sound cash, and 10d to
lOid for good com ; there is a fair quantity of all kinds on offer.
In Pouchong several sales have been made, but holders are
compelled to accept 4d to 6d for low to middling, and 7d to
9d for good to fine. Hyson is wanted upon former terms.
For Twankay former rates are insisted upon, but there has
been little passing.
Rica.—To-day Bengal Rice was sought after, but holders
insisting upon a further advance, operated against business,
and at public sale the sound of 3,723 bags were taken in at
12s 6d for good middling and good white, being above the
value ; there were buyers at former rates ; the damaged,
however, sold.
