MARKET INTELLIGENCE.'
(From the London New Price Current, March 4.)
SUGAR.--The smallness of the quantity of West India
on show to-day enabled holders to obtain Friday's rates
for all sorts, but the demand was trifling, both for the
pan and scale; only 84 hhds, &c., finding buyers. There
was no public sales of Barbadoes.
REFINED.—To-day only limited purchases. were made
in Refined goods by home dealers, and prices are on the
decline; brown lumps selling
at 47s 6d to 483 6d, and
fair Dutch made loaves 48s ed to 49s per ewt. In the
value of Crushed tdere is no variation, but little was
done.
.MAtininus.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri-
tius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and ,amounted
to 15.391 bugs; the *oats up to 38s per cwt realized fall
es, good to fine 39s 6d to
sates, but above that price there was a reduction of fid
per mt. The biddings were languid, and about two
thirds found buyers—brown at 32s 6d to 36s 6d, low
4a n2ds,
greymiddli
snogr t s yellow 37 s t03470s to 6
j 3, And grainy yellow 40s to
43s 6d.
LAST Isota.=-This afternoon the market for Bengal
Sugar presented a quiet aspect, and the public sales in
s
some cases went at rather lower rates. The quantity
offered ,was 4,428 bags, but the chief part sold--middling
and fine white Beeares went itt 41s to 445, damp
39s to 42s 6d, good and fine grainy yellow 42s to 445,
low and middling soft yellow 33a t 0.355, common to good
brown ditto 29s to 31s. Of Madras 821 bags sold at

Manilla were taken in at 37s to 37s 6d for yellow. A
cargo of brown Bahia has been sold at 37s 9d per eWt for
the new crop.

trifling for all purposes, and some parcels of Foreign

s
.per cwt. Of Plantation 146 casks at auction were tali
.021
~ ,

in at 563 per cwt for low middling and middling. The
uncertainty that exists with respect to the duties is the
cause of the dulness in the marktt.

TEL.—In common Congou a good deal has been done
at I*l to is per Ib, and medium have been sold to a
fair extent at is Oid to ls -14 d, the_market is also firm.
In other sorts transactions are also upon a more extended

vails at the previous currency.

dull aspect, and former rates supported with difficulty.

nea is not much wanted, but buyers are compelled to pay
92s to 100 s for small parcels, owing to scanty supply.

LADY FRAIVKLIA"S ARCTIC EXPEDITION:
The intense inteiesi and anxiety still felt in the safety
of Sir John Franklin, and the heroic crews of the Erebus
and Terror--in particular the anxious solicitude of Lady
Franklin—and probably the fact of the Government
reward of 20,00 W. for • the discovery of the missing
voyagers being still obtainable, have led to the un-
dertaking of another expedition to sail from this
port. It will be recollected that the Prince Albert—,
a manageable little craft—arrived here in October last,
after about three months' absence in the Polar Seas.
During the period she was in these northern regions,
much, in the circumstances, was accomplished, traces of
the missing expedition (the only distinct and unmistak-
able ones that had ever been found) having been
discovered. Circumstances, however—and chiefly, per-
haps the state of the ice—prevented Commander For-
syth and his crew from fully accomplishing what
bad been intended in the way' of a search for
Franklin and his, gssoeiates., An attempt under hopeful
auspices is, however, to be made this season to effect, if
possible, -a search in the same quarter and to the full ex-
tent as Proposed Jest year, The Prince Albert will
again be fitted out and manned, and will proceed to
Prince Regent's Inlet, where' the ship will be laid up
in such safe and convenient harbourage as can be
found. The party *will then preCeed in boats so far
as can be reached by open water ; they will
cross the' Isthmus of BoOthia, and follow out their
search as far to the westward as possible. Where
boats cannot be worked, " kyacks ' will be used,
which, with the assistance of the Esquimanx, will enable
the party to proceed 100 or 200 miles further than boats
could carry them, as the, " kyacks " can be rolled up
and dragged over the ice. It is proposed that the, ex-
pedition shall remain. out one season, and; if the state of
the weather and the ice be favourable, it is expected that a
very extensive search will be effected. The Prince Albert,
which has lain here all winter, will be got ready as soon
RS possible, and it is hoped she Will be able to reach
LancaSter Sound by the 'middle of June. The expedi-
tion will be under the command of Captain W. Kennedy,
who hag come here from Aiiierica for that purpose. Mr.
Kennedy has a very intimate acquaintance with the
Arctic regions, having served. for a considerable period in
the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company. He wintered
eight years in Labrador, and was the first 'European who
explored ,the northernmost pointof that icy coast. Captain
Kennedy who passessesinfleiibledetermination, cuorage,
and enthusiasm, is very hopeful of success. He 'speaks
highly Of the courtesy, and even affection everywhere
shown 'him, and. which the Sympathy felt, both in Ame-
rica and this country, for the •auccess of his noble object,
has inspired. He proceeds to •Oi kney, probably on
Thursday (Feb. 27), to engage landsmen for the expe-
dition. Those who have ,been in the service of the
Hudson's Bay Company will be chosen. They will be
twelve in number, and with six able-bodied seamen and
the comraander,will complete the expeditioti..'Weheartily
pray that they may succeed in their noble enterprise.—

TnE A.

TLANTIC STEAMERS.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—. Tha first time during many
months no steam-ship can ;for the week be expected
at this port with mails from New York. Formerly
the rnereantile public were accustomed to 'ieceive
during the winter menthe, December, january,
February, and 'March; only - fortnightly Mails; but
since the United States mail line started the or-
dinary vacuum, much to the public satisfaction, has been
filled up; and hence the present accidental breakis
• felt as . a proportionately more; irksome and unplea-
sant occurrence. It: was at one time hoped that the
royal mail steam-ship Cambria might , arrive out at
New York in. time. .to carry the European mails des-
tined for the eastern voyage of." the Atlantic; but
as she left Queenstown only On' the 4th, and would
scarcely arrive out' at New York before the 18th ult.,
it would' be 'impossible for her "to leave that port on
Wednesday,' the 19th; with 'the 'mails of the week
ensuing since the departure of the -Royal Mail steam- ,
ship Canada. ' It is understood, also, that the Cansbris,
although open to receive such an offer, was not on her
departure hence chartered for a 'return voyage by the
United States Mail Steam-ship. Company- Her cargo
being also utrumally heavy would require some time
•for discharge, so that .tio ,prqhability exists of the usual
intermediate mail being received; Several packet-ships
are, however, due, and the Royal, Mail steam-ship Africa,
with mails of ihe 26th ult., may be expected on Sunday
next. She will be succeeded, according to present
arrangements, by the United States steam-ship Bal-
tic, unless that ship should be detained in New
York, as some time ago arranged, for altera.
tions ki her cabin accommodation, &c.; it is not im-
probable,, we are told, that such would be the case, the
Cambria being
again brought into requisition to fulfil the
compave °corps in ,tho.,. meantinae. We question,

however, whether anything decisive can yet be stated,
and it is at least certain that great embarrassment must
have been experienced by the managers of the line in
meeting the difficulties caused by the Atlantic's disaster.
Great efforts are being made to repair the Atlantic's
machinery, and it is hoped that in a few weeks she will
be again ready for sea, though scarcely in time to render
effective service during the earlier days of the Exposi-
tion period.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT: -
• ' HOUSE OF LORDS', Marsh 3.
(Continued from our Third Edition of. last night )
- • - PAPAL AGGRESSION.
The Duke of ARGYLE, in presenting a petition from
Glasgow, on the subject of Papal aggression, deelated
that, in the event of such an aggression taking place in
Scotland, the difficulty would be not to excite, but to
restrain popular • indignation. He could not agree that
the Papal power was a dead power, but a living and an
aggressive power; and he rejoiced to find' that' it had
been impossible to form an Administration on the basis
of passing over the aggression unnoticed. He supported
the measure of the Government.
- Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition-from the
Roman Catholic inhabitants of Cork against the Go-
vernment- Bill for repressing Papal aggression.
This petition characterised the. Government mea-
'sure as tyrannical e in • that he • could not
agree, neither could he. -agree in the - -other
terms in which' the petitioners characterised that Bill;
but,considering the present state of agitation, he be-
sought-their Lordships and the Government not to le-
gislate at piesent' on the subject, but to content them-
setvei with resolutions of both Houses of Parliament, in
order to-afford an opportunity for the present‘ heats to
subside.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented several
petitions against the Papal aggression, and could
assure their Lordships that the people of Scotland
Would have tolerated no such aggression.. He thotight
that a more complete inquiry ought to take place-into
this subject before legislation, so as to, ascertain pre-
cisely the powers which the person lately arrived in this
country—who was at the same time a British• subject
and a foreign Prince—claimed to exercise. He considered
that the existence- of nunneries was incompatible with
civil liberty, and theyshould introduce some measure to
make the law of this country paramount over,the civil
and every other law.
Lord BROUGHAM explain'Od.
The Earl of ABERDEEN had beau 'misappre-
hended by the Noble Dukea He had not recom-
mended 'this aggression to be- pissed over in si-
ence ; on the contrary, he had said' that he thought
it might-engage the attention of Government and of Par-
liament, and he was of opinion with his Noble and Learned
Friend,• that the proper .way of proceeding would be
by resolution of both Houses, carried to the foot of the
Throne ;° but that he did not think it was a fit subject of
legislation.—(Hear, hear.) He was mach mistaken if
the experience of their Lordships and the other House
of Parliament did
.not convince them of the difficulty of
legislation on this subject. The-Noble Lord'who was
again at the head of the GOV6rnment had already pro-
pesedidalter the Bill as introduced very Materially,
and he 'believed that as further advances were made in
the prosecution of the measure, it would be found, as in
all cases of the kind, that greater difficulties would daily
ariseSL-(Elear, hear.) The Noble Earl (the Earl of
Rodeti)'had thought fit to allude to his having styled
the measure a penal one. carrying persecution with it.
Now, no doubt, whether they imposed a` penalty of 1001.
or imprisoned a man, it was a penalty;:and a Bill inflict-
ing either was a penal Measure. It'Swas another ques-
tion how far it might be severe or..nottsbut he would re-
mind the Noble Earl, that persecution was very different
at different periods. People entertained differenthotions
of what persecution was according to the age in
which it was exercised, and according to the
state of society in which they lived. He did
not doubt , that when Archbishop Crannaer •burnt a
poor wretch for denying the King's supremacy, he had
not the slightest idea that he was a persecutor, or that
Calvin when. he burnt- Servettis thought himself guilty
of persecntiai. He doubtecinot' that Philip 11. and the
Duke of-Alva believed that what they did in'the -veay of
persecution 'w'as •redeetiaell by 'their tender r4atil for
the salvation of souls; butthese
