TIIZ RECOGNITION.

Lalla Rookh, surrounded by her ladies, and led forward
by Fadladeen, advances. But such is the agitation of her
heart and frame, that it is with difficulty that she walks up
the marble steps, which are covered with cloth of gold, for
her ascent from the barge. Aliris, the youthful King of
Bacharia, is seated on a throne, by the side of which is an-
other, destined in a few moments for the most beautiful
princess in the world. Immediately upon the entrance of
Lalla Rookh the monarch descends from his throne to
meet her, but scarcely has he time to take her hand in his,
when she screams with surprise, and faints at his feet. It
is Feramory himself who stands before her—Feramory
himself, the sovereign of Bacharia, who in this disguise had
accompanied his young bride from Lahore, and, having won
her love as a humble minstrel, now amply deserves to enjoy
it as a king. The consternation of Fadladeen is pitiable ;
but, to make up for the false step he had taken, and to propi-
tiate the favour of his new master, he swears by all the saints
of Islam that never has there existed so great a poet as the
monarch Aliris. The ballet concludes by the rejoicings and
the floral dances of the "Feast of the Roses"

PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or . Muscovado Sugar, the pro-
duce of the British possessions America,computed from
the returns made in the week ending June 2, 1846, is
355. Bd. per cwt.

MIDDLEBURG, MAY 22.—What we learn from this and the
other provinces, as well as from Belgium, respecting the state
of the standing crops, is in general very satisfactory, and
gives every reason to expect a very abundant haryea.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 5.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a good business transacted in
West India Sugar for the use of grocers and refiners, but the
rates taken were rather under those that previously existed,
maken the decline for the week 6d. to I.s.

REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with
eagerness by the home trade, and higher rates were paid,
brown lumps selling at 67s to 68s, and standard lumps at
68s 6d to 695 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted,
and it is difficult to purchase first quality under 32s 6d
per cwt.
MAIMITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was pur-
chased with more freedom, and 7,671 bags at public sale were
all sold at full rates, but not above.

EAST INDIA.--This afternoon at public sale SLO bags of
Bengal Sugar sold with more spirit, and steady rates; line
white bringing 54s to 565, damp 53s to 555, and washed
54s 6d.

FOREIGN.—For yellow Havannah there has been a good
inquiry this week, but holders requiring rather higher rates,
business of moment has been prevented; brown is wanted,
and there are not sellers upon former terms, white is not
offered at any further decline in pri:es, but there :are few
orders in the market at present.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no improvement in the
demand for Dl.)cha Coffee, and 42 bales at auction sold at
barely former rates. Native Ceylon was only in limited de-
mann, but Plantation was in fair request.
Cocoa.—There has been less inquiry after West India this
week, and a public sale of 450 bags of Grenada went off
heavily at rather lower rates.
TEA.—Of Congou of various descriptions many parcels
have been dipoosed of, but holders are compelled to accept
easier rates. In Pouchorg a fair business has been transacted,
but prices keep up. Hyson is less in request, and quotati ms
are not so firm. In Imperial and Gunpowder we have little
variation to notice, but the demand has been less active.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was purchased with increased
freedom, and at public sale 1509 bags went with spirit, and
an advance on former rates of 6d per cwt.
Smnrrs.—Leeward Island Rum is wrnted, but holders ask
log further advanced rates, business of moment has been
prevented, and only small parcels have been disposed of. In
Calcutta a fair business bas been transacted, and prices are
rising. Jamaica has been less in request, but holders are un-
willing to reduce their prides. Demerara has been in steady
demand, and former rates are well sustotined. A further in-
crease has taken place in the stock of Brandy; and there are
sellers upon further reduced terms ; still the home and export
demand has been very limited. The market for Geneva is
firm, and the home trade have taken several parcels, paying
2s 6d to 3s for good and fine. Prices do not give way for
Corn Spirits, British selling at 10s 6d; Irish azd Scotch,
lOs 4d to lOs sd.

SPICES.—To-day the quantity of Malabar Pepper brought
to public sale was large, and amounted to 1,528 baggy, and
6,309 robins, but there was little desire evinced to operate,
and nearly the whole was taken i❑ at rather lower rates.

MOLASSES.—The inquiries have been numerous after all
descriptions of West India, and further advanced rates are
offered, but the supply at market being small, business of
moment has been prevented.
On.s.—This afternoon prices declined for Southern Oils,
but the demand w•as good, and 210 tuns at public sale nearly
all sold. Sperm is cheaper, and at auction 20 tuns sold a:,
7715 s to 791 for Colonial, and lleadmatter 80'.

TALLOW.—This afternoon at public sale, 166 casks of
Odessa Tallow were taken in ; 122 casks of New South Wales
Fold, fine 425, good 41s 3d to 41s 6d, middling 38s to 40s; 73
casks 8 bxs Zanzibar 38s to 41s; 170 brls 25 cks North
American Melted 40s 9d to 42s 3d fur good and fine, low and
middling 36s 6d to 395; 7 cks South American sold at 39s to
39s 6d per cwt.
TunpENTlNE.—Although there are sellers at the reduced
rates of 39s to 4Us per cwt for spirits, still little business has
been transacted, and the market is well supplied, that prices
will further give way is the general impression.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the wool-
sack a few minutes before five o'clock.
RAILWAY TRAVELLING ON SUNDAY.

The Bishop of LONDON presented a fiumerously signed
petition, complaining of the desecration of the Sabbath by the
present system of railway travelling on that day. The Right
Rev. Prelate proceeded to make some observations on the
subject, and was followed by
The Earl of FITZ WILLIAM, who said he entirely concurred
in everything which had fallen from his Right Rev. Friend.
He was decidedly opposed to all commercial traffic passing on
railways on Sundays, and he thought it was the duty of Par-
liament to prevent the present Sabbath desecration on rail-
ways.
Lord CAMPBELL addressed a few words to the House in
favour of some restriction being made between commercial
and passenger traffic on the Lord's day.
The subject was then allowed to drop.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
Messengers from the Commons brought up certain Bills.
NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.
The Earl of H ADDINGTON presented a petition from
the inhabitants of Coldstream, against the proposed branch of
the North British Railway from Berwick to Wooler, which
was ordered to be referred to the Committee on the Bill.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS ACT.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the
rate-payers of Ross, in the county of Hereford, complaining
of the operation of the Lunatics Asylum's Regulation Bill, to
which he would call the attention of the Government. The
Bill, he thought, was the worst of the many bad Rills that had
been introduced into that House, and one which he thought
should have been referred to a Select Committee at the
time. There was one clause at the end of the
Bill to which the petitioners particularly referred.
It declared that every idiot was a lunatic. In Consequence of
this great Warm was excited in the minds of the petitioners, as
well as throughout the country at large, as through that in-
terpretaVon harmless idiots, instead of staying with their
relations or being maintained in an inexpensive man-
ner in the workhouses, were sent to lunatic asylums.
He considered that in the majority of ca es a great affection
was entertained by the parents for their children affected with
idiocy, and they would feel an insuperable objection to having
their children taken from them. He considered that Govern-
ment should take under their charge all the lunatics
of the country, and that they should establish a
separate institution for those persons affected with
the earlier stages of madness or idiotcy, where, by a system of
kind and gentle treatment, the inmates might be restored to
their right and proper senses. The Noble Duke also presented
a potition from the board of guardians of the Ross Union to
a similar effect. The petitioners stated that their expenses,
which now amounted to 8001. per annum, would be increased
to 3,600 . solely for the charges of the maintenance of these
persons.
Lord ASHBURTON presented a petition to the same effect.
Earl KINNAIRD presented a number of petitions from
manufacturing towns praying their Lordships to pass the New
Corn-Bill as speedily as possible.
