MARKET INTEI.LMENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
- • • '

The Ministers have not yet declared the means they are about
to adopt for the relief of the West India interests, but it is un-
derstood that Exchequer Bills will be given on loan, and that
the Islands adopting the measures of Government respecting
the treatment of the slaves will have, as a bonus, a lesser duty
to pay on the import of Sugar into England, than where the)'
refuse to accede to the wishes of the English Ministers.

had a dull appearance, but the prices were maintained; the
