OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
CORN DUTIES..
Whitehall, Feb. 22, 1842.
Sir,—l am d;rected by Sir Robert Peel to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of 19th instant, transmitting a
copy of the resolutions adopted at a Public Meeting held
in (ork with reference to the proposed Corn duties.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Charles Sugrue, Esq. W. 11. STEPHEN SON.
Whitehall, 22d Feb., 1842.
Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
Your letter of the 19th inst., communicating certain re-
solutions which have been passed at a Public Meeting
of the merchants and others at Cork, on the subject of
th-: duties proposed to be levied upon oats under the re-
solutions now before Parliament.
I beg to state in reply that the attention of her Ma-
jesty's Government has been, and will be, carefully
directed to the consideration of the relation between
the -various kinds of grain, and of the protection
affOrded to each ; and the Government are most de-
sirous that no one description of grain should be placed
in a situation, so far as the law is concerned, of compa-
rative disadvantage.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your
obedient servant, It. E. GLADSTONE.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Frain the London Mercantile Journal of :March 1.)
- -

SUGAR.—There was not much dcinand for West India Alus-
coradoes Sugar to-day, owing to the time and attention of the
buyers being occupied with the pablie sates of Bengal and Mau-
ritius; but the market remained firm, and last Friday's cur-
rency was fully maintained. The transactions did not exceed
150 hhds and tees;

Idouarrius.—Three parcels were brought to public sale to-
day, comprising 7,387 bags, which went at full rates, and all
sold, middling to tine yellow at 62s to 68s, and good brown 57s
to 58s per cwt.

ass.r Isinra.—The public sales of Bengal consisted of 3,484
bags, which sold briskly at last week's rates ; middling to good
white at 65s Gd to 695, brown at 42s to 47s per cwt.
FortElGN.—The prices of all kinds of Foreign Sugars
remain precisely the same as last week, and little or no
business has been done in the market. White Havannah is
neglected, while yellow is scarcely inquired after. Bahia sold
at 17s 8d for brown, and at 22s 6d for white, deliverable at
Liverpool. Brown and grey Surinam Muscovado Sugar for
refining at iSs per cwt.
REFINED.—The market for the home trade goods has been
exceedingly dull ; standard, lumps 79s to 79s 6d per cwt. Fo-
reign Refined Sugar in bend—crashed is flat at 28s 9d to 29s
per cwt; in Hamburgh loaves there has been considerable
business done, and they have become rather scarce--101bs,
are held for 335. per cwt.
WlsT INDIA MoLassrs.—There has been little inquiry for
this article, and sales are with difficulty made even at reduced
prices ; gord Demerara has sold at 25a per cwt.
TEA.—The market has become somewhat firmer, and Com-
pany's Ccmgou has advanced to is ilia per lb. cisb.
'there was a good attendance of the trade and the sales
opened with considerable firmness on the part of the
merchants, who withdrew a large propertion ; the
remainder sold with fair spirit, fully supporting the
prices of the last public auctions, indeed, in some instances
rather higher prices were realised for Congou and Pouchong.
Congou, but mid flat and heated sold at is lld to is II ad,
mid blksh If rather strong at 2s to 2s Id, good mid blksh If at
2s 2d, and Twankly fine 2s 234 d to 2s 3d, but mid at 2s lOid
to 2s 100 per lb.

The cash price of Company's Congou was firm at Is I lid
per lb, but we (lid not hear of any sales of consequence ; a
parcel was, however, sold for a prompt of three months, at
!2s Oid per lb.
COPFEE—The only parcel brought to public sale'consisted of
466 bags Padang, which sold at 36s to 40s for common and fair
quality, being the full value.
Cocoa.—ln the absence of public sales of West India the
market remains quiet ; small lots only have changed hands, but
we do.not quote any further variation in price.
PXPPER.—There has not been a public sale of black, and
very few transactions have taken place by private contract, but
no variation can be quoted in prices ; shippingsorts of Sumatra
have sold at 24(1 per lb. White pepper is steady, 47 bags
offered at public sale boldat 7d for fair even bold, and at 4ad for
very ordinary.
