COFFEE.—This afternoon a good demand prevailed
for Plantation Ceylon Coffee, bat shippers were again
the chief operators ; at public sale 356 casks and 150

Native Ceylon there is still little doing, yet good ord is
not offered under 37s 6d. Mocha continues to be wanted.
TEA.—The demand has diminished for ordinary and
good common Congou for all purposes, and supply being
more plentiful prices declined id to id per lb; sales
having been made at 9id to lOid. In other
kinds operations have also been upon a limited
scale, and holders are disposed to sell medium
to rather strong blackish leaf at lid to Is, good to fine
Is Oid to is 7d. Oolong has been dealt in with caution
at is to is 7d, and there is a fair supply. For Green the
market has been in a dull state; large parcels have
been brought forward, and rather lower rates are
taken for good and fine, but no general reduc-
tion is apparent for inferior. Scented and Pekoe
sorts can be obtained upon rather lower terms,
yet few buyers are to be met with. At public sale
11,000 packages were offered, of which 4,400 Congou,

at Is 4id to Is sd, and fine brown at is sid to is 6d. A
good demand still exists for fine Jamaica, for all pur-
, poses, and the rates paid are from 3s 3d to 4s 6d for 35

.
doing, and a desire is evinced to sell low to

9/1 to 28 per gallon.
INDloo.—Since the termination of the quarterly sales
of East India exporters and home dealers have been pur-
chasers to a fair extent, and the parcels disposed of were
at full rates; on the part of holders there is also firm-
ness. In Spanish there is rather more business doing at
the previous value, and supply is not so plentiful. The
rates paid for Sobres are 3* 6d to 4s 9d, and Cortes is
to 4s. Stock is now 2,312 serons, and last season 510.
COCHINEAL.—There has been a better demand; supply

SALTPETRE.—The dulness in the market has in-
creased, and there being a plentiful supply prices have
declined 6d to 9d per cwt, and few transactions are re-
ported privately for any purpose. At auction 1,780 bgs
Calcutta were partly sold; good 31 to 5i refraction at

TAeLow.—There has beea rather more demand for
Russian on the spot, and stiffer rates are paid ; fine
yellow Candle selling at 378 9d to 38s per cwt. For
delivery a good business has been transacted, and
the prices paid are 39s to 39s 3d for last three
months of the year. Home melted sells more
freely at 35s to 36s net cash, and melters are
less disposed to realize. In other sorts of Tallow opera-
tions are upon a more extended scale at stiffer rates.

ROUSE OF COMMONS. July 22.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
CASE OF ERNEST JONES.

On the motion for receiving the report of the Com-
mittee of Ways and Means,
Lord DUDLEY STUART called the attention of the
House to the case of Ernest Charles Jones, as stated in
his petition, presented to this House on 26th May last,
and to move for copies of all rules and regulations which
at any time, from the (year 1840 to the present, have
been in force within the several prisons in England and
Wales, so far as they may affect prisoners convicted of
political offences. Ho owed no apology to the House
for bringing this subject forward, for it was the duty of
every Member to bring a case of injustice before the
House whenever it came officially under his
notice. He had been more than two months
attempting to get this motion on, but hitherto he had
been unable to obtain an open day, and he had, there-
fore, no alternative but to introduce it as an amendment
to a Government motion. Ernest Charles Jones was
a barrister-at-law, the son of a major in the army, and a
gentleman of some literary fame. In 1848, he was com-
mitted to the Tothill-fields prison for a political offence,
and what Mr. Jones complained of in his peti-
tion to the House was, the treatment he re-
ceived while undergoing his imprisonment. Most of
the allegations in his petition were admitted by the au-
thorities of the gaol, and therefore no dispute could
arise on that part of the question. Now these allega-
tions were familiar to the House, and he need not re-
mind Hon. Members that the treatment Mr. Joins had
received was quite contrary to law. More than once
he was kept in solitary confinement on bread and water,
because he refused to pick oakum; and he contended
that the order of the visiting justices sanc-
tioning that proceeding was totally at variance
with the Act of Parliament. Once he was con-
fined in that way for no less than four days,
while the Act of Parliament provided that a prisoner
should be kept in solitude on bread and water only.
L Two other miserable prisoners, whose names were fami-
liar to the House, were put into solitary confinement on
' the same occasion, and for the same cause, and the
result which followed that proceeding was a stain upon
the criminal annals of the country. They died of the
cholera. Ernest Jones escaped that horrible fate, but
the treatment so inspired his health that it was ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether he would ever thoroughly
recover his lost strength. It was useless for the medical
officers of the prison to say that their prisoners did
not suffer from ill health, because in tb"ir replies to the
allegs:lens of Mr. Jones they admitted that he suffered
from chrouiu intlsinmation of the eyelids ; and on one
occasion when he was placed in the refractory wsrd he
lost upwards of a stone in his weight. The report of
the governor charged the petitioner with having used
violent language in the letter which he was allowed to
write from the prison, and that was the reason why his
permission to write was witheld. Now he (Lord
Dudley Stuart) had looked through all the thirteen let-
ters which Mr. Jones wrote while in prison, and he had
no hesitation in declaring that the report of the governor
was utterly unfounded in truth. He denied that this
treatment of Mr. Jones was at all warranted by law;
he was treated not as a political but as an ordinary of-
fender, and that was contrary to all law and usage.
Cobbett, Ramsbottom, and Lovell, when they
were committed for sedition, were treated in
a very different manner. They were allowed
full permission to see their friends, and one of them not
only wrote a history of America while he was in gaol,
but was permitted to be married in prison. Hunt, the
House would remember, was ill-treated while he was
imprisened, but he afterwards recovered compensation
from the governor of the gaol, while the Government
took upon themselves the responsibility of discharging
him for his misconduct. Feargus O'Connor, Cooper,
and O'Connell, when they wore imprisoned, met with
treatment which presented a very strong contrast to that
which had fallen to the lot of Mr. Ernest Jones, but
then they were imprisoned under a Conservative and
liberal Government, while Mr. Jones was imprisoned
by a Whig and illiberal Administration. It was the
basest and most stupid sot for a Government
to confound political offenders with ordinary criminals.
That was the opinion of many eminent statesmen and
judges on the judicial bench, who thought that the pri-
soners had rignts to enjoy and maintain as well as the
Government who imprisoned them. Henry Vincent's
treatment, in being removed from a provincial gaol and
placed in the Penitentiary, where he was compelled to
wear the common dress of the prison, and forbidden to
communicate with his friends, called forth the condem-
nation of Mr. Justice Talfourd and the House ; but
what would the Learned Judge have said had the pri-
soner, in addition to that treatment, been compelled to
pick oakum, or pass his time in solitary confinement,
living upon bread and water? Mr. E. Jones was not
allowed the use of a knife and fork at his meals, but
was compelled to devour his food with his hands, like a
beast. What would the Learned Judge or the Marquis
of Nermanby, who laid down rules for the treatment of
Mr. O'Connor when he was imprisoned, have said of
that? Some time ago, the House had an assurance from
the Government that they would introduce a Bill for
regulating the treatment of offenders, but up to this
very day that pledge remained unfulfilled. Subse-
quently the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the
Home-office promised to give directions that political
offenders should be separated from ordinary cri-
minals; but he had yet to learn that the
promise had been kept. Certainly it had not
in the case of Mr. Ernest Jones, and therefore he
could not help thinking that it was time the House
insisted upon legislating upon this important subject.
How could they hope to change the views and opinions
of a political offender by treating him with so much
'cruelty as was complained of in this case? He trusted,
then, that the next session would not be allowed to
pass without an effort being made to alter the system.
In one instance which had come to his knowledge, a
prisoner had been refused the right of petitioning the
House, which he apprehended was a breach of the pri-
vileges of the House, for by the Bill of Rights Blackstone
and all the legal writers which the country had pro-
duced held it to be the inherent, inalienable right of every
Englishman, no matter in what situation he might find
himself, to lay his grievances before the House of Com-
mons. Now the same right had been denied to Mr. E.
Jones by the visiting magistrates, and he could not help
feeling that the refusal involved a point of deep and
serious importance to the House. lie had, therefore,
brought the case forward. Had it been earlier in the
session he should have moved for a Committee of Inquiry,
but it was too late to do that now, and he should con-
tent himself by giving notice that at the very earliest
period next session he should move the appointment of
such a Committee. Ernest Jones was the only
political offender of the year 1848 who received
no remission of his sentence whatever, but the
Government made him endure his term of imprison-
ment up to the very last day. He had brought forward
the case because he thought it one of gross injustice,
and not because he agreed with the political views and
and opinions of the petitioner. Having said so much,
and apologizing to the House for having detained the
House so long, he begged to sit down moving the mo-
tion of which ho had given notice.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS rose to second the motion. He
considered it a disgrace to the country to imprison a
man and treat him as a common felon merely
fer words spoken, and he fully sinspathised
with the sentiments expressed by the Noble
Lord who had introduced this subject. Tho treatment
of Mr. Ernest Jones was most oppressive and most un-
just, but it was not to be attributed to the visiting ma-
gistrates, beeeNie the form of treatment was pre-

Ou.s.—For pale Seal Oil there has been an increased
demand, and an advance has taken place; several par-
eels have been disposed of at 311 lOs to 321 per ton.
Other sorts are operated in with more freedom at
291 10s to 311, and supply remains limited. There
are several buyers of parcels afloat rather under
present rates. In Cod operations are upon a
more extended scale of 361 10a to 37/, and holders
have confidence. Southern is in improved request, and
au advance has taken place for all sorts. At auction
60 tuna were sold. fine at 311 15s to 321 ss; low to mid
301 to 311 10s. Privately several parcels have been dis-
' posed of at similar rates. With Sperm the market has
been more freely supplied; and buyers not being much
disposed to operate, rates are on the decline. At
auction 47 tuna went at 811 to 831 15s for
Colonial; and low American 72/. For small parcels
of Ileadmatter the rates paid are 901 to 93/.
Cocoa Nut continues in brisk request, and
rates continuo to advance; Cochin selling at 311 to 334
Ceylon 301 to 324 and other sorts 291 to 30/ per cwt;
there is also a further decrease of supply. Linseed Oil
has met with little attention from exporters; there is,
however, a fair home trade demand.

SCARBOROUGH.—The election for this borough,
which took place on Saturday last, will not pass without
being called into question. The Protectionist triumph is
likely to be short. A petition is in preparation ; and the in-
vestigation will show how the MOMS of Mr. G. F. Young
was accomplished. The intimidation and other corrupt
practices which prevailed at the election exceed all prece-
dent, and will be clearly exposed.

REUNION DES Airrs.--On Monday evening the 12th
and last soli& of the summer season was given by this ex-
cellent society at 27, Queen Anne-street. The very elegant
and select company was so numerous that every part of the
spacious apartments was occupied. The choice of the musical
selection was most judicious, for the performance of which
by its own members this society is so celebrated. Amongst
the numerous attendance of our own as well as foreign
artists, we noticed, Miss Day, Miss Mary Rose, Madame Le-
maire, Miss Magner, Miss Lairnia, Mrs. Wallack, Madame
Verdavainne, Madame and M. Tourneur, Messrs. Gollmick,
Day, Schmidt, the two brothers Liitgen, Frederick Chatter-
tan, Wiisterman, Mr. Herbert, J. Thomas, Herr Gregory,
Mr. Case, Herr C. Haag, Kempf, and M. De la Rancheraye,
&c., who severally contributed their best to the entertain-
ment, and who deservedly received the deafening applause of
the elegant company. Lachner's quartet was most exqui-
sitely performed by Herr Gollmick, Day, and the two bro-
thers Lutgen. Herr H. Lutgen's solo on the violoncello was
most enthusiastically encored, as well as M. Rancheraye on
the violin. Amongst the distieguished visitors we noticed
the veteran General Dembinski, attended by some of his
companions in arms. Between the first and second parts the
Hon. Secretary to the Society (Mr. Detkens) addressed the
company, mentioning that it is to the indefatigable exertions
of Messrs. Goffrie and Gollmick that the society is chiefly in-
debted for its foundation, and alluded to the merits and uti-
lity of it, as tending to the co-operation and joint combina-
tion of some of our best vocal and instrumental artistes. It
would be superfluous to add that the evening passed off with
éclat, and with every gratification to the committee and
the members. Let us hope that such an excellent so-
ciety will nut want staunch supporters amongst the English
aristocracy.
UNION BANK OF AUSTRALIA.—The annual
meeting of the proprietors of this bank was held on Monday at
the offices, 38, Old Broad-street, City, R. Brooks, Esq., in the
chair. The report stated that the business of the bank had
increased at all its branches during the past year, and its
present satisfactory condition reflected much credit upon the
zeal and ability of the officers generally. The commerce of
the Australian colonies had been well supported, and the
trade had every indication of being healthy and prosperous.
The result of the accounts enabled the directors to declare a
dividend for the half-year at the rate of 6 per cent. per an-
num on the entire paid-up capital of the bank, together
with a bonus of 10s. per share on the 32,000 paid-up shares
of the third series. It appeared from the accounts that there
was a balance at the present date of undivided profits
amounting to 70,1791., and the reserve fund amounted to
81,8641.—Mr. J. Robinson, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the proprietors on the prosperity of the
bank, and upon the excellent arrangements which had led
to such satisfactory results.—This was seconded by Mr.
Maclntyre, upon which the chairman observed that the
business of the past year had been fully equal to that of the
preceding year, and the bad debts of the past year had been
very trifling. In answer to questions it was stated that the
amount of Government stock they held was the same as at
that time twelve months. They had in all 590,000/. on loan
in this country. The report was adopted, the retiring di-
rectors re-elected, the dividend and bonus declared, and
after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the
meeting separated.
BRUTAL MURDER AT MANCHESTER.OR Mon-
day morning, about five o'clock, the attention of a police
officer on duty in Back Irwell-street, Dole-field, Manchester,
was attracted to sounds of distress which appeared to proceed
front a cellar. He instantly burst open the door, and entering
the place, found a man, named James Wick, a farm servant
froma Burton-upon-Irwell, belabouring a woman, who was
ld on the floor, in a most brutal manner, her face being
covered with blood and her habiliments saturated through-
out. Upon a bed in the place lay what appeared to be the
corpse of another weman, terribly disfigured about the head,
and covered with blood. The officer instantly seized Wick,

secured on the arrival of another police-officer. It was found
that the woman on the bed still breathed, and she was re-
moved to the Royal Infirmary, but died before she got there ;
the other woman was removed to the same place, where her
wounds were attended to, and hopes are entertained that she
will recover, though her injuries are great. The man was
brought up at the Borough Court the same morning, and re-
manded until Wednesday. There is at present no certain in-
formation as to the cause of the ruffian's conduct, but as the
position in life of the women is degraded, there is reason to
believe that it arose out of circumstances of a corresponding
character.
SALE or BEER.—The Bill prepared and brought
into the House of Commons to amend the laws relating to
houses licensed for the sale of beer, by Sir J. Pakington,
Mr. Deedes, Mr. Headlam, and Mr. Brotherton, has been
printed. The principal objects proposed by the Bill are—
to require proper certificates of the character of persons ap-
plying for licences—to restrict licences to sell beer to be
drunk on the premises to real residents or occupiers, and to
houses rated at not less than 201. per annum in cities, towns,
&c., containing •
7 andOo inhabitants, 151. in places exceeding
