FOREIGY.—To-day holders of Foreign Sugar were

n2ss concluded by private treaty was of a limited charac-
ter, by shippers and the home dealers. None was offered
at auction.

MoLAssEs.—A reduction has taken place for West
India, but sales are upon a more extended scale, and
amount to 250 puns—St. Kitt's at 13s 6d, Tobago 13a,
and Vincents at 14s per cwt. East India is held for 14s
to 13s, but few buyers are to be met wi►h, still there is
not a more plentiful supply.
COCOA.—Holders of West India are firm, and continue
to supply the market sparingly. None has been offered
at auction since this day week. Former terms are well
supported, and sales to a fair extent have been made by
private treaty. In Foreign there has been little done,
and the rates accepted are 27s 6d to 28s 5d per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon holders of Plantation Ceylon
Coffee were more disposed to realise, and prices declined

mand for common Cougou, and shippers have taken
several parcels, supply is not more plentiful, and rates
are firm at 10d to lid. In sorts from is to is 3i a
good deal has been done, but superior qualities have
been only in moderate demand at is 4d to is ad.
For low and mid Green former rates are well supported,
and large parcels have been disposed of ; shippers are
also operators to fair extent. Fine and good qualities
are not much wanted, still holders generally will not
sell, except at full rates. Scented and Pekoe Teas
realised last week's prices, and many parcels have
been sold. Of 7,409 packages at public sale 3,500 were
disposed of.
RlCE.—Cleaned Rice sells with more freedom, town
dressed Carolina 22s to 28e, American 20s to 21s,

root is not much wanted, and 500 pkgs at auction only
in part sold, Bermuda at is Bd, other aorta of West India
214 to 9id. Sago has been in fair demand
at the former value. At auction 500 chests sold at
21s to 22s for small pearl, but 414 bags Sago Flour
were taken in at 17s 6d to 19s 6d per cwt. To-day
East India Rice was held for full rates, but there is less
demand. At auction 1780 bags Bengal were taken in
at lOs to lOs 6d for good white, and at 8s 6d for cargo.
SPlCES.—Nutmegs have been more in demand, but not
at better prices. A public sale of 10 cases Penang went
at 2s 6d to 3s 4d for ordinary io good. Jamaica Ginger
has further declined, but at auction 340 barrels sold ;
good and fine 4/15s to 71 13s; ord and mid 3112 s to
to 41 12s; but the whole sold. Export sorts of
East India met with little attention, and 16s 6d to
17s 63 is the value. Of Pimento none has
been offered at auction, only small sales have been made
privately at 6d to 6jd per lb. Black Pepper is not
cheaper, and none has been brought to public sale, but
private operations are limited. Malabar at from 31d
to 3d; and Sumatra 2d to 3d. Prices are steady
for white, but there are not many buyers. At auction 30
bags sold at 6d to 68d for mids and at 4id for low. In

2s to 2s 9d. The demand far Cloves continues limited;

per lb. For Cassia Lignea rather more demand has
been experienced, supply continues scanty, and 85s to 90s
per cwt are the rates paid for ordinary to good. For
Cinnamon the market is dull. Cassia Buds 90s per cwt.
SPlRlTS.—Previous terms are well supported for Ja-
maica Rum, and there has been a good demand. The
sales amaunt to 300 puns at 2s 9d to 3s 8d for 33 to 38
per cent. over proof, including small parcels of superior
quality and high flavour at 3s 9d to 4s 4d per gallon.
East India has not improved in price, but operations
are upon a large scale, and amount to 1,000 puns at is 3d
proof, at this rate there are not free sellers. Leeward
Island is held with firmness, and 200 puns have bee n
disp. sed of at Is 4d to Is 4id proof, Fine Demerara is
wanted, and full rates are offered, but inferior met with
hate attention. About 200 puns have been sold at is lid
to 23 for 32 to 32 over, rather cloudy, and better sort
2s to 2s 2d for 32 to 38 over. Brandy has been ope-
rated in with more freedom, and holders display firm-
ness. The value of Cognac best brands of the vintage of
1849 is 4s 5d to 4s 7d, 1848 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1847

ported for British made spirit.

ness; prices for 9ae shipping rule at from May's rates to
2d advance, mid and good 3d, good and fine con-
suming 3d to 4d, and ord 3d to 4d above. Kur-
piths sold freely at la rise of 3d to 4d. Madras has
not met with much attention during the last few days,
For dry leaf Madras the market has presented a quiet
aspect. Spanish has met a much better demand, and
former terms are well supported. The public sales of t5O
stns Guatemala wect at 3s Id to 33 6d for Cortes, and 3s
7d to 4a 4d for Sobi es. The Indigo market has a very
firm appearance.

SALTPETRE.—SaIes have been upon a limited scale by
private treaty for all purposes, still holders are firm, and
offered none at auction since our last report. The value
is 25s 6i to 27s 6d for low to fine. Bi itish refined, how-
ever, has been in good demand at 29s to 29s 6d per cwt.
Nitrate of Soda is to be obtained at 13s 6d to I4s per
cwt, but there are ft w buyers.
TALLow.—No change of importance is to he men-
tioned in the price of Russian on the spot since this day
week. First sort yellow Candle is obtainable at 36s 6.1
to 37', and for inferior 3d to od per cwt less. For deli-
very in the last three months many holders are willing t,
supply the article on rather lower terms; but only a
small business has been done at 37s 6d to 37s 91 Al-
though home melted is to be obtained at 35s to 36.;
nett cash, ytt, transactions have been upon a limited
scale; large parcels are brought forward. Other
descriptions of Tallow barely supported previous terms.
At auction, however, 540 pkgs South American were
nearly all sold from 32s to 364 for low to fine; 600 casks
Sydney at 323 6d to 353 91; and 25 casks of North
American at 36s to 36s 3d per cwt. For auction 1,200
pkgs Tallow are advertised.
OILS.—The market has a firm appearance for Seal
Oil, and a good business has been concluded in pale 1
at 311 to 32/ per tun. Other kinds are sought after
at 291 103 to 301 10s, but there is yet a small
supply. The stock of Cod is light, and 341
lOs must be paid before any business is settled.
Fur Southern holders require 31/ to 331103 for low to
flue. For Sperm the rates obtained are 841 to 841103 per
tun for Colonial of first quality. Ileadmatter has teen
selling at 901 to 941 per tun, and is yet scarce.
In Rapeseed Oil the sales made are more extensive ;
brown is quoted at 351 to 35s 61, and pale 36s 6d
t 37:, but, for delivery, parcels may be bought under
these figures. An active demand continues to exist
fur Linseed Oil to supply the wants of the home
trade, and several export orders. haves been coals
p'eted ; the market is only indifferently supplied, and
quotations are firm at 32s 9d to 33s per cwt. For deli-
very the transactions have been to a fair extent at 32s
to 32i 6.1. Cocoa Nut has not been much inquired
after, and sellers are willing to dispose of Ceylon and
Cochin at 29s to 31s. Another reduction hat taken
place in Palm Oil, owing to a large quantity
pressed for sale and ' the restricted demand fur
the article. At auction 150 tuns changed bands from
263 9,1 to to 28s 3d ; and 38 casks Gingelly Oil at 33s
6t. Olive continues to meet with little attention, and
there is no difficulty in finding sellers at 421 to 41/ 10a
for Spanish and Gallipoli, and 401 103 to 411 10s, per
tun tor other descriptions. Imports of Cocoa Nut,
Olive, and Fish Oils have been important.

PETITIONS.

Lord EGLINTON presented several petitions from
places in Scotland against the Marriage Affinity Bill.

moreland against the Coal Inspectors Bill.

petitioners were opposed to
the concurrent jurisdiction clause.
The Earl of ETLBLEENKBYOBREORUPGAIISS seeing the Noble
Marquis the Lord. President in his place, wished to ask
him if Government bad received as
dispatchto the
b e r Passln India
i
thatsof i t
on the subject of the late expedition
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE replied
dispatch had been received, but there were p
oni o
n such ta
which he did not think it would be advisable to lay be-
fore the House.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH okected to its being
produced in a mutilated form , as such a course was cal-
culated to produce much misapprehension.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE'S answer was in-
audible in the gallery.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH hoped the Noble
Marquis would read the dispatch himself, and decide.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would read the dis-
pa'ch himsel£
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH would be perfectly
satisfied if the Noble Marquis would do so.
TEE RETRENCHMENT MOVEMENT.
Lord BROUGHAM said he rose to ask the Noble
Marquis whether the office filled by the late Sir Thomas
Motohoa/.
tariable, and the salary of which wasl,
a year, had been filled up. He understoodgreat reductions were in contemplation in several
important breeches of the public service. It was, he
understood, in contemplation to reduce the salaries of our
Foreign Ambassadors to such an extent as was abso-
lutely imcompatible with a due regard to the interests
cf, the country. At the same time he understood
that it was in contemplation to reduce the salaries
of all persons connected with the judicial establishments
of thf I country, in order, he supposed, to bring the same
ruin upon our domestic affairs which the first•named
reduction would bring upon our foreign affairs. It was
desirable if ill-judgel retrenchment was the order of the
thy. that it should take place throughout—that
it should commence at the top, and that no rank in the
country should he exempt from retrenchment. He would
give notice that he should, on Thursday, move that a
humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying
her Majesty that she will be graciously pleased
to be caused to be laid before the House

an account stating the amount of savings made
in the civil list sine.) 1833, diringuishing each year. and
the savings made in each year. lie knew that there was
a bargain made with the Crown at the cornmercemirit
of each reign; but that bargain was made upon the
supposition that things would remain nearly in
their then position, and if retrenchment to.,k place
in any department of the public service, why
should it net take place in all? It was painful to him to
add another ob:ervatit.n, which, however, he felt himself
compelled to make. If any person should say, as had
been said to the late Duke of Cambridge, and been by
him repudiated with indignation—if any one should dare
to say that the time had arrived for lowering the English
aristocracy, then he would say that the person so speak-
ing was guilty of the greatest imaginable folly, fur that
Parliament had resolved that the English aristocracy
should not be lowered—(Hear, hear)—but the English
aristocracy would be lowered if such things were per-
mitted to pass as were now passing. A lady of the
very highest rank, who was neatly and intimately con-
nected with Dukes and Marquises, had been reduced to
the humiliatir g necessity of advertising for employment.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the
office alluded to had been filled up by the ap-
pointment of a most meritorious functionary
but from the low tone in which the Noble Marquis
spoke it was impossible to catch the name of the
person so appointed, neither can we be certain whether
or not the name was mentioned.

The Marquis tf WESTMINSTER, who spoke :in a
very inaudible tone, was understood to say that the
lady alluthd to had bf en appointed to some sittrition.
Lord BROUGHAM had understood that the appoint-
ment had been made but not confirmed.
LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL.
Lord PORTMAN, in moving the second reading of
this Bill, which came from the House of Commons,
observed that it had been introduced for the purpose of
improving the relations between landlord and tenant.
The only difference between this Bill and the one
which was proposed last session consisted in its being
extended to Ireland. The object of the Bill was to
permit tenants for life to make agreements which would
be binding on their heirs and successors; and though
perm a~i~ e in one sense it Ras not so in another.
Lord BEAUMONT observed that though this was
called a permissive measure, it was only so in regard to
those who would profit by it, while it was compulsory
on those who succeeded the tenant who made an ar-
rangement under the Bill. There was not a single pro-
vision in it which could be commended, and believing
that it would be injurious to the interests it was pro-
posed to benefit he would move that it be read a second
time this day six months.

Lord BROUGHAM opposed the second reading a
the Bill.

Lord MONTEAGLE said whatever legislation it
pleased their Lordships to introduce on this subject in
relation to England, the people of Ireland were willing
and ready to accept in relation to the latter country.
He objected, however, to the power given in a Bill on
their Lordship's table, which enabled a tenant for life to
grant leases for ninety-nine years of the estate which
was settled upon him.

.
After a word or two in explanation from Lord
BROUGHAM,
The Bill was thrown out.
LIVERPOOL WATER-WORKS BILL—BREACH

OF PRIVILEGE.
The Earl of EGLINTOUN called the attention of
the House to a petition complaining of the mode in
which signatures had teen obtained in Liverpool to
petitions a,;..ainst the Bill introduced for the purpose of
giving a better supply of water to Liverpool. His
Lordship referred to the statements of several persons to
show that a great number of fictitious names had been
added to those petitions, and that several indi-
viduals had been employed to go about the
town to procure signatures. His Lordship, after allud-
ing to the serious nature of the proceedings in question,
moved that Mr. Joseph Byrne, Mr. Joseph Hind, and
Mr. Duncan M'Arthur should be called before the bar
of their Lordships' House.
Lord LANSDOWNE thought the House was much
indebted to the Noble Lord for bringing the subject
under its attention, as there was no greater abuse of its
privileges than that of forging names to petitions, and
he should cordially second the motion of the Noble Lord.
After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE and Lord
STANLEY, the motion was agreed to, and the three par-
ties mentioned above were ordered to be brought to the
bar on Friday next.

ELECTIONS (IRELAND) BILL.
The House then proceeded to consider the report on
this Bill, and was
