CITY MARKETS.-(TWO O'CLOCK.)
SUGAR.—The market this morning was rather fully attended
but not much has as yet been done. Prices low and heavy. The
delivery last week from the West India Docks amounted to about
2,200 casks. In the foreign, East India, and refined Sugars there
is no alteration. .

COFFEELY.fhis market wears rather a better appearance this
morning, but still prices are heavy at the reduction of last week.
Good middling are at from 91s. to 935. ; fair ordinary, from 84s.
to 955. per cwt. In foreign Coffees there is scarcely any thing
doing. The Dutch Trading Company have declared 99,000 bags
for sale next month.

RUM AND BRANDY.—The Rum market wears a more brisk
appearance. The demand-for home consumption is increasing.
Last week about 430 puncheons were delivered from the Nest
India Docks, of which 315 were for home use. The stock in the
West India Docks is now 25,500 puncheons. Proof Leewards
are at Is. sd. per gallon. Brandy is very firm.
INDIGO.—There is but little doing at present, owing to the
near approach of the Company's sales.
PEAS.—The market continues brisk. Low qualities are in
steady demand at the late advance in price. The consumption of
the country continues steadily to increase.
EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SALES.—This morning the
Company's periodical sales of Spices, Saltpetre, &c., took place
at the East India House. The sale was very fully attended.
10f Saltpetre 533 tons were declared of different refractions.
The whole sold freely at from 365. 6d. to 375. 6d. per cwt., and
41% tons not refracted ;etched 345. to 355. per cwt. These prices
establish a declining market, as compared with last sale, of from
2s. to 3s. per cwt.
The appearance of the cholera in London has tended much to
paralyze commercial activity, and great fears are indulged that
serious consequences will result, should the disease spread itself
extensively.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM, we are informed, has
conferred the valuable appointment of General of Marines
on Admiral Lord de SAUMAREZ, who, it is understood,
will be succeeded as Vice-Admiral of England by Viscount
EXMOUTH. The First Lord of the Admiralty, in com-
municating the appointment to Lord de SAUMAREZ, stated
that his MAJESTY had bestowed it as a testimony of Royal
approbation of his Lordship's eminent public services.
It is evident, from the contents of the letters
from the interior of the country, that every day the passing
of the Reform Bill is delayed, adds not only to the dim_
ti eases of the manufacturing districts, but to the de-
pression of trade in general, and this should teach the
Opposition the responsibility which they incur by delaying
and obstructing its progress through Parliament. If it
were absolutely known that by the creation of Peers or
otherwise, the Bill was certain of being carried, trade
would revive, the distress of the working and industrious
classes would be mitigated, and it would also prevent a
,onsi.lerable addition to the poor rates.—Morn. Advert.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY)

NEW BANKRUPTCY COURT JURISDICTION.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL obtained leave to bring again
to his Lordship's attention the subject of the jurisdiction
assumed by the new Bankruptcy Court. He believed he
was concerned in two petitions whit .h he was anxious to
have an early opportunity of bringing before this Court.
As he thought they would raise all the questions now re-
quiring to be considered.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that he would afford
all the facility in his power.
Sir EDWARD SUGDEN said that the new Cilia had
heard an elaborate argument on the extent of their juris-
diction, and in the result had decided that they
had the power, and that they ought to proceed to
hear (as they were at this moment hearing) appeal
petitions from the Vice• Chancellor to the Lord
Chancellor. The two questions, therefore, to be decided
by this Court were, whether the new Court had a right
to review the decisions of the Vice-Chancellor, and
thereby to interpose that Court as a Court of Appeal
between the decisions of the Vice-Chancellor and the
decisions of the person who holds the Great Seal ;
and next, whether that Court had the power to review
the decision of the holder of the Great Seal ? It was
highly important these questions should be disposed of,
because the new Court had actually assumed jurisdiction
in the matters that had been disposed of by Lord Lyndhurst,
and which had stood by petitions of appeal for hearing
before the present holder of the Great Seal.
The Loan CHANCELLOR considered that such instances
could scarcely occur again.
Sir E. SUGDEN was by no means of that opinion. There
was not a decision that the Vice. Chancellor had come to
for the last two years, that might not be appealed to the
new Court if the parties were so litigiously disposed, and
should the newly-assumed jurisdiction be permitted to
continue.

The LORD CHANCELLOR only meant his observation
to apply to the cases now pending. He was pleased to
appoint Saturday morning for any petition to be brought
before him on which the bar might think the necessary
questions to lo disposed of could be raised.
