MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

- -
(From the London New Price Current of April 16.)
&max. —There has been an increased desire shown to pur-
chase West India Sugar, and a further improvement has taken
place in prices. To-day buyers of West India Sugar came
forward with increased freedom ; the demand was brisk for all
qualities for the scale and pan, and the rates given show an ad-
vance on those of Friday of 6d per cwt ; several boards of
Jamaica of the new crop sold at 6'2s to 65s for mid to good
bright yellow. Of bright grocery and strong refining sorts the
supply is far from ample for the increasing wants of the trade :
the market closed with a healthy appearance.
REFINES.—There has been a large quantity of Refined Sugar
taken by the home trade since last Tuesday, and further ad-
vaneed rates paid. To-day the demand was good for Refined
Seßitv for borne consumption ; standard lumps fetched 78s to
78s 6d, and brown 765 6d to 77s per cwt. West India Treacle
""‘eh wanted, and is not to he purchased under 21s 6d.

loess, and none has been brought tot" public sale; a good demand
has prevailed privately, and a
the

those of the last auction of 6d to 1s per cwt. This afternoon
several parcels of Bengal Sugar were id
stiffer rates. sposed of privately at
i
Fottztow.—The market has a firm appearance for
Env-, ar;d none has again been submitted to public
übl c cFornorpeeigtin-

tion. For Brown rather higher rates paid; Bahia at 18s to
19s per cwt; white at 2ls to 23s for common to fine. White
Havannah has been in increased demand, and stiffer rates paid.
COFFEE.—The trifling parcels of West India disposed of by
private treaty have been upon rather lower terms. To-day
59s to 60s asked for common and good common Ceylon, but
very few purchasers were to be met with. Mocha dull of sale,
and prices are still drooping; 70s to 71s is the value of mid
clean garbled. Other sorts of Coffee were little inquired for
by shippers or the home trade.
Cocow.—Foreign at 29s to 30s per cwt, and holders show
firmness. This afternoon Trinidad Cocoa only partly told ;
middling red at 50s, good 52s 6d, and middling grey 47s to 48s
per cwt.
TEA.—The market has a firm appearance for black and
green Tea; importers still refrain from offering any at auc-
tion, and privately a good business has been transacted ;
common qualities, which are the most in request have brought
prices rather above those of the last public sales, and the
better kinds fully maintain the rates established thereat. To-
day common Congon met with a good sale at Is Oid to Is 014
per lb, cash, but in other sorts of Tea there was not much
done.

Snexs.—Black Pepper has brought full prices, and the
demand has increased. For Cassia Lipea rather higher rates
paid. This afternoon East India Ginger, from Li►erpool,
taken in at 20s, and Barbadoes at 46s to 46s (id per cwt, being
above the value ; Cassia Lignea sold at 69s to 70s for middling,
and 63s for good ordinary ; common Sumatra Pepper taken in
at 3d, and one lot better quality 34-d per lb.

22s 64 per cwt. Betgal Molasses 15s to 17s per cwt.

cwt ; Jamaica Arrowroot at 6id per lb.
INnioo.—The quarterly sale commenced yesterday, and
was well attended by home and foreign buyers. The biddings
were very spirited, and the prices fur East India paid show an
advance on those of the last quartely sale of 4d to 6d per lb :
all consuming descriptions were in excellent request at an ad-
vance on January sale's rates of 3d to 4d per lb. To-day
shippers were ready purchasers of Bengal Indigo at the quar-
terly sale, and the advanced rates previously established were
fully maintained ; indeed, in some cases they are rather
higher.

NEW COAL TAX—PROPOSED EM-
BANKMENT- OF THE THAMES.
A public meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor
yesterday, for the purpose of taking measures to oppose
the proposed tax upon coals intended for defray-
ing the expense of erecting the proposed embankment
of the river Thames. The following noblemen and
gentlemen were on the platform :—John Masterman,
Esq., M.P., Capt. bons, M.P., Col. Wood, M.P. B.
Hawes, Esq., M.P., W. Ord, Esq., M.P., Lord H. Vane,
M.P., Sir C. Napier, M.P., David Barclay, Esq., M.P.,
Matthew Foster, Esq., Wm. Bateman, Esq., (Deputy
Chairman of the Chartered Gas Company), N. Pontifex,
Esq., W. Christie, Esq., M.P., and gentlemen con-
nected with and interested in the coal trade.
The Secretary read letters from the following gentle-
men opposed to the proposed tax, who, from various
circumstances, were unable to be present at the meet-
ing:—Lord Howick, Mr. Pattison, M.P., Mr. Lyall, M.P.,
Mr. Duncombe, M.P., Mr. Antrobus, &c.
Mr. MASTERMAN, M.P., (Chairman) explained the ob-
jects of the meeting. A tax of sd. per ton was proposed to
be levied on coals entering London, for the purpose of
erecting an embankment to the river Thames, in addition
to ls. Id. at present levied—not only on coals consumed
within London, but to a considerable distance around it—
and the object of the meeting was to oppose any further
charge upon that necessary article of life, believing that
it would seriously injure the coal trade of the metro-
polis, and throw an additional weight on the consumer.
Mr. HawEs, M.P., proposed a resolution to the effect,
that the additional tax on coal, the cheapness of which
tends so much to the comfort of the poor, and
is so essential to the prosperity of the va-
rious manufactories established in the metropolis and its
environs, is unjust and impolitic. He thought the pro-
posed enbankment was unnecessary, and highly injurious
to the trade of the metropolis, and would prove most
injurious to the navigation of the river.—(Hear, hear.)
There were three reasons assigned for carrying the pro-
posed embankment into effect:—first, that it would
improve the navigation; secondly, that it would give
increased facilities to the coal and river trade; and,
thirdly, that it would present increased facilities
between different parts of the metropolis. Now, he
had attended the various meetings of the Commissioners,
at the request of many of his constituents, and very few
of the witnesses examined before them were in favour of
the proposed embankment. The Commissioners were
desirous of making the city of London like Florence and
other continental towns, so fine were their ideas of
architectural display, and appeared to have forgotten the
trade of the City of London.—(Hear, hear.) The
estimates for the embankment amounted to 366,0001.
He thought Sir Robert Peel and other Members of the
Government too high-minded to express any opinion on
the matter without evidence to justify such a measure.—
(Hear, hear.) In fact, he did not believe Sir R. Peel
was in favour of it. It was said that the tax on coals
was a most equitable way of making improvements ;
but the great mass of the working population
would have to pay it. lie repeated that the tax would
come out of the pockets of the working classes—
(Cheers)—and they could ill afford to pay it. The tax
would fall far heavier on the poor than on the rich, and
on these grounds he felt it his duty to take a strenuous
part in opposing the imposition of an additional coal
tax.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ORD, M.P., seconded the resolution. He
said he felt deeply interested in the subject, re-
presenting, as he did, the persons interested in
the Newcastle coal trade, who, he was sure, would
second in every way their opposition to the pro-
posed tax ; but he considered that the consumer was more
interested in the matter than any other party. The
report of the Commissioners perfectly astonished him,
and he thought they could not be aware of what they
were signing. The proposed embankment was an ugly
dyke, and, instead of proving beneficial, it would prove
most injurious to the health of the metropolis—it
would also be injurious to the various branches of trade
connected with the river. The wharfingers would be
put to additional expense, and additional expense would
thus be entailed upon the consumer.—( Hear.)
Mr. RICIIARD TAYLOR said he was a large consumer
of coals, and he did not object to a small addition to the
present tax if the money derived from it was properly
applied. He thought that those who lived in their villas
ten or twelve miles out of town, but whose avocations
led them daily to London, ought to pay their share of
the proposed tax. He should regret if it fell heavily on
the poor, and expressed a confident hope that it would
not. He ridiculed the idea of the embankment and the
building of the new House of Commons on the river.
The coal owners were chiefly interested in this question.
—(" No, no.") [Captain Ackerly, who had repeatedly
interrupted the meeting, here created some disturbance,
and it was some time before he could be prevailed upon
to resume his seat.]
Mr. COPE moved an amendment to the effect, that
a duty upon coals, however desirable it might be to
avoid such a mode of taxation, was an excellent source
of carrying out metropolitan improvements.
Mr. M`Grmvnair seconded the amendment, which,
after some discussion, was put and lost. The original
motion was then put and carried.
Colonel WOOD, M.P., proposed the next resolution,
that the purpose for which this tax is proposed to be
applied does not justify so obnoxious an imposition. He
thought the tax would be obnoxious, because it was to be
levied upon the second necessary of life—that it would
obstruct the interests of the trade of the metropolis, and
if they neglected the persons who gave employment
to the poor labourers, they would destroy the
very elements of the trade of that city. He
was confident the tax would fall heavily on the
working classes. He then referred to the evidence
and opinions of several scientific gentlemen on the sub-
ject of the embankment, who were unfavourable to the
plan.
_ Captain nous, M.P., seconded the motion. He said
he saw no reason why the consumer should pay for the

was the most absurd plan ever invented by man.—
(Laughter.) It had surely been concocted by the gentle-
men who reside in Privy-gardens—(Laughter)—who
wish to walk as far as they can down the river. Now,
let them have a promenade where coal. heavers and
other poor people could enjoy the fresh air, and no ladies
or gentlemen would be seen there. It might certainly give
more employrsvit to the watermen, who would have
facilities fur landing ; but the navigation of the

and.de.
The tax put him much in mind of a much cow, which
got dry at last, Many persons were desirous of having

a slice of the proceeds of the proposed tax, but he saw
no reason why his constituents should not have a share
of it.—(Laughter.) It would be very injurious to the
poor man, if they put a tax upon coals ; he would have
to burn less if he paid more for it.—(Cheers.) He
thought that was plain to a man who could think, on
the principle, that if they taxed corn he must have less
bread.—(Cheers.) Four shillings per ton was put upon
coals sent abroad, and the imposition of that tax had de-
stroyed that trade altogether. He should do all he could
in the House of Commons to throw the Bill for the levy-
ing of the tax overboard.—(Cheers.)
Lord H. VANE, M.P., proposed the following resolu-
tion, " That the purpose for which this tax is proposed to
be applied does not justify so obnoxious an imposition."
Capt. bus, M.P., seconded the resolution, which
was carried unanimously.
A resolution was then proposed and seconded, " That a
petition embodying the sentiments of the meeting, be
presented to the House of Commons by the Chairman,
and that the co• operation of the eight Metropolitan Mem-.
bars be requested to support the prayer thereof ; and that
a deputation, consisting of the Members of Parliament
- present, be requested to form a deputation to wait upon
Sir Robert Peel on the subject."
The resolution was carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman for his
able conduct in the chair, and the meeting separated.
