'MARKET INTELLIGEN CE.

( From the London New Price Current of July 1.)
Sur:wt.-The dullness in the British Plantation Sugar
market has increased this week, and a greater desire has been
shown by importers generally to realise, but they have sub-
mitted to a reduction on last week's rates of 6d to Is per cwt.
To-day the West India Sugar market presented a dull ap-
pearance, and for either brown or yellow sorts the demand was
very limited the prices accepted are rather lower, making the
decline for the week fully is per cwt, and the purchases 1,200
hhds and trcs. The show of Sugar is better. The quantity
of Sugar, subject to 24s.duty and 5 per cent, upon which duty
has been paid at all the ports, is 8.000 tons greater than last
year.
REFINED.-The demand fir Refined Goods has been very
limited for home consumption this week, although a reduction
on former rates of Is. to Is 6,1 per cwt has been submitted to.
To-day the Grocers purchased with much caution, and prices
'flirther declined, ells to 81:46d accepted for Standard Lumps.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling at 26s for large, and 265.341
for small parcels. Loaves are scarce ; other articles are un-
altered.
MA URITIUS.-The market has become dull for all descrip-
tions, and importers have manifested less firmness; the prices
accepted. are Is per cwt under those of last week.
This afternoon there was no public sale, and privately the
amount of business transacted was very limited.
EAST INDIA.-White descriptions of Bengal Sugar have
been in less request this week ; holders have been more dis-
posed to realize, and prices have suffered a decline of Is to Is 6d
per cwt. Brown and yellow descriptions must be quoted is
per cwt lower. Manilla, low to fine brown at 14s 6d to 16s 6d,
and raid to good yellow 17s to 18s per cwt. Cochin China at
15s 64 to 18s per cwt for brown and grey.
This afternoon Bengal was taxen sparingly by private con-
tract, and none was offered at public sale.
FORFAGN.-This afternoon some purchases ve,e made in
yellow Havannah privately at very f&1 rates. White was in
fair request, and 493 boxes of the new crop at public sale went
at an advance of is per cwt, middling to fine strong quality
fetched 27s 6d to 31s per cwt.
MOLASSES.-For West India this week, the better kinds
have brought full rates, but common sorts may be had on easier
terms. Antigua, good quality at 30s; St. Lucia, good 26s to
26s 64, and common and middling sorts 24s to 25s per cwt. In
Foreign Molasses there is no change.
COCOA.-For British Plantation Cocoa, prices have been
'sustained. Trinidad good red at 39s 6d to 405, good mid 38s
to 395, mid 36s to 375, low mid 355, and sea damaged 33s to
35s per cwt. Guayaquil at 365, and Para 34s to 35s per cwt.

14d to 2d per gallon ; proof common quality at 2s, good
2s 14, 2 to 12 over 2s Id to 2s 4d. Fur Jamaica prices
have assumed a downward tendency, fine quality at 5s 3d
to bs 64, good 5s to 5s 2d, good middling 4s 74
to 4s 11d, common and middling 4s to 4s 6d per gallon. East
India Rum has declined in value, Is sid for proof at the high,
.arid Is 74 to Is 9d at the low rate of duty. Brandy has met
with a dull sale. Cognac first brands of the vintage of 1837,
bds 5s Id, puns 4a lld ; 183 S, hds 4s lid, puns 4s 9d; 1839,

was heavy for all sorts of Rum, and 2s is the general quotation
for proof Leewards.
COFFEE.-11 here has been less activity in the British Plant-
ation Coffee Market this week ; privately few purchases have
been made, and the public sales have gone off quietly, mid and
good sorts have brought previ,us ra e 4, but all interior kinds
have declined in value Is per cwt. ; unclean sorts have been
offend much under forther prices. In Mocha Coffee a good
business has been transacted privately, and at stiffer rates.
This afternoon there was a better demand for Coffee for home
consumption. At r Wit: sale 52 casks Jamaica and 1,486
bags Ceylon were offered; the latter went at full rates, and
all so'd at and after the sale, fine ordinary fetched Fls 6d, fine

to 90s, ord 51s to 565, triage 30s to 50s per cwt. The Foreign
market is firm, but the demand was limited to-day ;at auction
600 bees Rio were taken in at 33s for good ord, being above
the values
Tea.-Importers of Tea are very firm, and have refrained
from offering any at auction, indeed none is yet declared ; it is
an unusual circumstance that such a long time has intervened
since the last sales. The demand has been brisk for black Tea
all the week, and the parcels offering have found ready pur-
chasers at rather higher rates.
This afternoon there were several enquiries, but the small.'
ness of the quantity available tended to check business, and
the trade were ccrepelled to pay 159 d to Is 9id for common
sound Congou, cash, and good ord Is 9Ad to ls 104 ptr lb, at
which rates the market closed firmly. No public sale was de-
clared at the time we went to press.

obtaining previous rates ; 48s to 48s 3d have been the rates ob-

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE- OF LORDS.
IIOYAL ASSENT.
The Roy al Assent was given to-day by Commission
to the Justices Jurisdiction (No. 2) Bill, the Copyright
Bill, the. Publie-houSes Regulation Bill, the Municipal
Corporations (Ireland) Amendment Bill, and the North
American Colonial Association Regulation Bill.
Ile Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the
Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Wharncliffe.
Their Lordships resumed at Five o'Clock.
MEDICAL/ CHARITIES (IRELAND.)
The Duke of LEINSTER presented a petition froth
the county of Kildare, in favour of exempting the Medi-
cal Charities of Ireland, from the supervision of the
Poor-law Commissioners. His Lordship seated that he
totally dissented from the prayer of the petition.
Lord GLENGALL presented several petitions from
places in Ireland, to the same effect.
Lord CARBERY presented petitions, having the same
prayer.
Lord GLENGALL begged to add, that the sub-
scribers to three Charities had no objection to a proper
Supervision, but they had a great objection to the con
troul of the Poor-law Commission.
COLLIERIES.
The Bishop of LONDON presented s:veral petitions
from the_North of England, praying the House to take
some steps to prevent the degrading employment of
females in mines.
MEDICAL CHARITIES.
The Earl of MOUNTCASH ELL presented a petition
from the president and members of the Medical Associa-
tion of Ireland, signed by 79 members of the medical pro-
fession, and sanctioned by almost all the medical pro-
fession in Ireland, complaining of the removal of medical
charities from the management of the gentry of the
country. The whole of Ireland was roused upon this
point, medical men as well as others, all of whom pro-
tested against the statements which they believed had been
put forth from the Worst of motives. The petitioners
objected to the supreme power over the medical men being
vested in the Commissioners, because the petitioners
believed that the-Poor-law Commissioners had done less
good for the money raised on their behalf than any body
of them. When the - Poor-law question was regu'arly
brought before your Lordships, he trusted the House
would pay due attention to the question.
The Duke of LEINSTER defended the. conduct of the.
Board of Guardians.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a similar
petition from a Dispensary- in Cork. • •
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from LiS-
keard, complaining of the taxes on knowledge. -
Lord'CAMPBELL gave notice that it was not his
intention to bring in any Bill _during the present Ses-
sion with respect to the mode of giving evidence in
Scotland. Upon the .most diligent inquiries he had
been able to make he • had discovered that the
law of England and Scotland on this subject were the
same, and that the law of Scotland gave the
same protection to - witnesses as the law of
England did. If he found that the law of Scotland
was not the same as the law of England, upon discover-
ing that to be so, he should feel himself bound to intro-
duce a Bill on the subject.
Earl RADNOR moved for certain returns, relative to
the importation of corn.—Agreed to.
The Earl of FINGALL presented a petition from the
Roman Catholics of Oldham, complaining of the griev-
ances under which they laboured.
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the second
reading of the Bill for the limitation of actions in Ireland
to Friday next. -
• MESSAGE !atom THE. COMMONS.
A Message from the .Commons. brought up • the New
South Wales- Bill, and several other Bills.
