total sales for the week are 740 hhds and tres. The
market closes with a firm appearance fur both free and
slave labour.

stiffer rates ; 3,000 bags of low brown Manilla fetched
33s for Muscovadoe kind ; and 350 baskets Java, the
particulirs of which have no► transpired.
MOLASSES.—The amount of business concluded in
West Nadia of all kinds has been limited, and prices
continue on the decline, as the stotk is large. The
value of low to fine quality is 14a 64 to 184 per cwt.
Bengal Treacle is little required, and can be obtained at
lower rates. The stock is also on the increase.

and 18 casks of Pantation Ceylon Coffee were offered

peaberry 50s 6d to 42a. Of Native 1,000 bags were
offered, but a small part only sold at 31s for real good

rather under those previously current. Of 6,400 pigs

RCM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDR.7Th.e . market for

supplies continue to increase. For exportation orders

OlLS.—There are sellers of Linseed Oil at further
reduced rates, yet there is no increase in the home
demand, and on the part of exporters little inclina-
tion has been manifested to make purchases. The
supply is, however, yet moderate, and there is a
large consumption. On the spot the prices accepted
are 23s 3d to 23s 6d per cwt. For forward delivery there
are sellers at 24s to 24s 3d few purchasers are, however,
to be met with. Rapeseed Oil is not much required
whilst prices continue to give way as the stock is
large. Palo is only worth 34s Gd, and brown 33s 6d,
but the consumption is steadily on the increase.
Olive is not much in demand, and sellers are

/willing to make a slight concession in the value;
although deliveries are exceeding the arrivals. Cocoa
Nut is not much in rt-quest, and can be obtained at
,
rather lower rates, as there is a more plentitul supply.
The consumption is limited
and further arrivals are
near at h+nd. Lard Oil has been dealt in with caution
at 47s to 50s, and Ground Nut Oil is dull of sale
at 38s to 395. In Palm the operations are upon
a more extended scale, in consequence of holders
submitting to rather lower rates. Fine quality
has been selling at 34s 6d to 355, and low to good 30s to
345; there is also a larger quantity pressing upon the
attention of the trade. For Fish Oils there is no
improvement in the demand either for home
consumption or exportation, and a further in-
crease is observable in the supply, whilst the
general tendency ofprices is yet to decline, and large
arrivals are expected ; the neliveries are also unsatisfac-
tory. Seal met with little attention, although sellers are
wrlling to further reduce their prices. Cod is held for
251 to 25155, but the amount of business concluded has
been of little consequence, and there is an increased
quantity on offer. In Southern of all kinds the
.les made have been of little moment by private
treaty. Sperm has been dealt in with caution, and
rather lower rates are accepted. Headmatter is selling
at 141 to 84/ 103 for fine quality, but the demand is li-
mited. At public sale 350 pkas of Cochin Cocoa Nut
Oil were nearly all taken in at 50s for fine sort.
TaLLow.—This afternoon lower rates were accepted
for 'fallow. At the public sales 419 packages South
American mostly sold at 43s 6d to 495 for low to fine;
280 of New South Wales, 42a to 50s; 50 of Belgian,
48s to 50s; 47 of French, 47s 3d to 47a 6d; 47 of Tag-
anrof, Sheep, 46s 6d to 49s 9d; 195 of Russian, part
sold, first sort P.Y.C., 50s 3d to 50s 6d; town melted,

CHARTIST CONVENTION.

(THIS DAY.)

AFTERNOON SITTING.
In the absence of the chairman, Mr. Cuffay was
elected to take the chair, which he did amidst much
laughter and cheers.

Mr. WHEELER said he had been requested by Mr.
O'Brien to make an official communication to the secre-
tary of his resignation as a delegate.
Mr. HARNEY considered that Mr. O'Brien had treated
the Chartists of London with great disrespect in acting
in the way he had done. He would, therefore, move—
that this Convention considers that Mr. O'Brien has
treated the Convention with disrespect in the manner in
which he has thought fit to vacate his seat iu this as-
sembly.
Mr. CEFFAY seconded the motion.
Mr. KYDD did not think they had any right to inter-
fere between Mr. O'Brien and his constituents, who
ought to be allowed to settle any matter of difference
between themselves. As his constituents had returned
him as a delegate, they had power to receive his resigna-
tion, and it was their business to see that they were
represented in the Convention. With that view he
begged to move that the question be not entertained.
The amendment was seconded by Mr. WALTER, but
was negatived on a division being taken, and the motion
was accordingly carried.
Mr. HARNEY said he had observed a sneering para-
graph in a newspaper at the end of the report of their
proceedings, stating when the meeting broke up a per•
son stood at the door shaking a money box in the ears
of the public. Now he wished to know upon what autho-
rity the box was placed there? He did not object to any
person contributing towards the expenses of that assembly
out he did strongly object to a man shaking a box at
the door and crying out " Remember the poor delegates
of the Convention."—(Laughter.) He was one who
thought that those who sent delegates to the Convention
ought to be able to support them—(Cheers)—and he
was therefore much against adopting the practice of the
disciples of Daniel O'Connell.
Mr. M`GRATH said, as theirs was a public cause it
ought to be supported by the public, acd he saw no rea-
son why a box should not be placed at the door to give
an opportunity to those who were able and willing to
contribute t 'wards the expenses. He did obj- cr,
however, to a person shaking the box in the ears of the
people as they left the meeting.
It was ultimately agreed that the box should be left
at the door in a less objectionable manner.
Mr. WALTER brought up the address which had been
prepared by the different trades' unions in Great Britain
and Ireland, which was agreed to and ordered to be
printed.
Mr. HARNEY said he had received a communication
from Aberdeen, stating that at a meeting held there of five
or six thousand people, a resolution was come to to enrol
a national guard, and also one expressing their confi-
dence in the proceedings of the Convention. The letter
further stated that the enrolment of the national guard
had already been comna,nced.--(Loud cheers.)

ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.
Mr. ERNEST JONES proposed that the Convention
should draw up a memorial to the Queen, requesting
her to dismiss her Ministers, and to call men to her
councils pledged to the principles of the People's
Charter ; and further, requestin ; her to dissolve
Parliament, as not representing the feelings and
the enlightenment of the people ; and that such
memorial be entrusted to the National Assembly for
presentation to the Queen.—(Cheers.) He believed
that resolution was in compliance with the one which had
been passed by the Convention, not again to petition the
House of Commons should the National Petition be re-
jected ; for after the proceedings in the House of
Commons last night they might look upon the petition as
virtually rejected. The Sovereign was therefore the
next highest court of appeal to which it was the bounden
duty of the people to submit their grievances betore re-
sorting to any ulterior measures. As the conduct of the
House last night was tantamount to a rejection, it would be
humiliating on their part to have any further intercourse
with it, and he contended that they should send no more
petitions on any plea whatever. It had been stated that
the enthusiasm in favour of the Charter was dying
away, in consequence of the events on Monday last, but
on the contrary the Chartists were stronger, more
courageous, and prouder of the cause than they had been
before.—(Cheers.) Would any one venture to assert
after looking round the hall, and seeing the enthusiasm
which prevailed, that the people would have gone, day
after day, and listened with so much interest to the deli-
berations of the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) He
concluded by suggesting that the memorial should be
adopted at the simultaneous meetings on Good Friday.
Mr. WALTER, in seconding the motion, observed that
if the monarchy of this country was ever put an end to,
it would not be so much by the proceedings of that
Convention or even by the act of the most ardent
Republicans as by those who were in the confidence of
the Sovereign, and who prevented her listening to the
opinions and the real wants of the people.—(Hear.)
The motion was unanimously carried, and a Com-
mittee was appointed, consisting of Mr. E. Jones, Mr.
Harney, and Mr. Walter to draw up the memorial.
