MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of,July.2l)

SUGAR.—In consequence of what transpired in the House
of Commons last evening, with respect to the Sugar Duties,
increased dullness was produced in the market for Colonial of
every kind to-day; and reduced rates were submitted to.
REFINED.—To- day there was little desire shown by the
home trade to operate in Refined goods, although there were
sellers of brown melting lumps at 655, brown grocery 65s Gd
to 663, and standard lumps at 66s 6d to 67s per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is cheaper, sales having been made at 33s 6d
to 34s per cwt for first quality.
MAITHITIUS.—This afternoon there was scarcely any busi-
ness transacted privately, and at auction 122 casks 6 hhds
81 trcs were only in part sold at 6d to is per cwt decline.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was much better
supplied with Madras Sugar ; two parcels, amounting to
7,362 bags, were submitted to public competition, and nearly
the whole sold at a reduction on former rates of is per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day the market presented a quiet appear-
ance for all kinds of Foreign Sugar, and previous rates were
not obtainable. By private contract there was very little
business transacted.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced to
operate in Ceylon Coffee, and 1,581 bags 64 casks were
offered at public sale; the Native was taken in at about the
former value. With West India the market was better sup-
plied ; 287 casks 132 barrels and bags being submitted to
public competition, nearly the whole sold, but at a fall in
prices of 3s to 5s par cwt.
TEA.—Congou is not to be had on lower terms, but little
business has been transacted. In Pouchong several pur-
• chases have been made, but holders are compelled to accept
previous rates. In Gunpowder a good business has been
done, but upon lower terms. Several parcels of Im-
perial have been disposed of in consequence of reduced
prices having been taken. In Twankay there has been little
passing, and previous rates are not obtainable. Holders of

Scented Orange Pekoe is little wanted, and 2s to 2s 2d is the
value of the finest. Souchong is dull of sale at 10d to 2s,
and superior 2s 2d to 2s 9d per lb.
RICE.—The market has a quiet appearance IT Bengal, and
the quantity on offer being large, a hill in the value of 3d
per cwt has taken place.

SPICES. —To-day Pimento met with attention, and 308
bags at auction all sold at full rates.. Nutmegs are little
wanted, and 45 chests at public sale only partly found
buyers at barely previous rates, Of Jamaica Ginger 213
bales were offered, and chiefly sold. Black Pepper is not
offered upon further reduced rates; but little business has
been done privately.

has been only a limited busimss transacted in any kind.
The duty fur the Kingdom is estimated at 140,0001 to
150,0001.

SALTPETRE.—TO-day Rough met with little attention, and
2421 bags of Calcutta at public sale were nearly all taken in
at about the former value.

CocuisEAL—Arrivals having commenced to come in more
freely have caused merchants to be desirous to realise, and
they having supplied the market largely, ha; produced a de-
cline on former rates of 4d to Gd on silvers, and 4d to 8d on
black.

SI'IRITS.—To-day a good business was transacted in
Jamaica Rum, and at better prices—several parcels were sold
at 3s 6d to 33 8d for 30 to 34 per cent. over proof. Leeward
Island is sought after, and proof brought 2s 3d to 2s 4d. In
Calcutta sales were made at is 11d to 2s proof, and of
Demerara some parcels sold at 3s to 34 4d for strong descrip-
tions. The market closes with a brisker appearance for all
kinds of Rum.

PRO TEST ANTISM IN POLAND.
Count Valerian Krasinski delivered the first of a series of
three lectures on the Rise and Fall of Protestantism in
Poland, on Saturday afternoon, at Willis's Rooms, to a select
assembly of the nobility and gentry. The lecturer, after a
rapid glance at the introduction of Christianity among the
Sclavonian nations, which was filially established in the 9th
century by the labours of Cyrillus and -bled] udins, concentrated
his attention on Bohemia and Poland, whose close connexion
and sympathy of feeling generally made their struggles for
principle common. He remarked the feeling of nationality
which strongly characterised the Sclavonian tribes generally,
and which in no small degree affected their reception of
Christianity, showing itself so early as the times of Cvrillus
and Methudins, when the Pope -felt himself, in thit age,
compelled to grant that mass, and the rest of the service of
the church, should be performed in the language of the
country. These same two missionaries translated the Scrip-
tures into the native tongue, and did the inhabitants thereby
additional gratification. In 1341 the predecessor of John Huss
in the work of reformation was a Polish barrister at Breslau,
who denounc,d the Pope as Anti-Christ and the Roman
Church as the Whore of Babylon. The fame of Wickliffe,
too, was so great as to elicit from some of his admirers a
hymn in praise of his metaphysics, which was written about
1410. Already Huss was before the public Mind, and his
followers increasing, not only in Bohemia, but in Poland also.
The Lutheran movement extended into Silesia, and produced
great excitement in Dantzic in 1518. The Hussites and the
Lutherans joined, and formed themselves into a church, con-
stituted with bishops, after the order of the Waldenses, and
were known in Poland as the Episcopal Protestant Church.
Throughout the several struggles that were made, and which
were all but national, the Romish clergy still continued
dominant, and did continue so, very much confirmed by the
revulsion excited by the preaching of the anti-Trinitarian
doctrines that originated in the Genevese Church. This
failure of our attempt to establish Protestantism in Poland
was ascribed by the lecturer to the movement not having
been identified with the national interests. Having brought
down his review of events to the year 1570, the Count con-
cluded his first lecture.

INVERNESS SHEEP AND WOOL FAIR.-011F annual
market for sheep and wool—the principal products of the
' northern counties—commenced on Friday, July 10, and
' closed on Saturday evening. The market has been an ex-
cellent one for the sale of sheep. Nearly all our flocks are
disposed of at prices considerably higher than those which
were obtained last year. On Wedders the rise has been from
' Is. to 2s. ;on ewes and lambs from Is. to 3s. The brisk-
' ness of the demand was highly favourable to the mid-
dling class of sheep, on which the advance was greater
than on the very best description. On all, however, there is
an improvement in price, and the demand for lambs and ewes
has been almost unprecedented. The full employment of the
labouring classes, engaged in railways and other works, and
the revival of trade. with the prospect of still further im-
provement, have, no doubt, tended to produce this result.
In wool there has been very little business done. Our
farmers looked forward to good prices, owing to the settle-
ment of the American question and the passing of the corn
bill, which must operate in rendering trade more secure and
giving an impulse to manufactures. But the staplers allege
that the market is overstocked with foreign wool—that the
price of Scotch wool has been too high for the last two or
three years—and that the foreign wools are supplanting it in
the estimation and the use of the manufactures. These
arguments did not convince the fleece-owners, and most of
them have resolved to "hold on," or to consign their stores
to the commission agents.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
ALE TO BE SOLD IN A CIIAPEL.—On Sunday morn-
ing last, the sober and temperate inhabitants of a certain
village near Bradford were quite thunderstruck on entering
the chapel, in consequence of a large card being hung on the
door of the sacred edifice, upon which was printed, in large
characters, " India ale sold here in pint bottles." On making
inquiry as to the cause of this strange announcement, it
turned out that a publican residing in the township bad oc-
casion to place a notice on the door of the chapel on that
day, " according to the statute in that case made and pro-
vided;" and being wishful to give the sexton as little trouble
as possible, he wafered his notice to a card which had been
suspended in the bar of his house, and the wind being stronger
than usual that morning, the legal document had been wafted
away, and the card was left exhibiting its original inscription.
