MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of June 24.)
Sucaa.—lmporters of British Plantation Sugar have
evinced firmness, and have obtained fully previous rates for all
descriptions. To-day the West India Sugar market presented
a tranquil appearance; the grocers purchased sparingly, and
the refiners were less disposed to operate. Importers were not
so firm, and in some cases the prices accepted were 6d per cwt
under those of yesterday. Ihe total sales for the week have
been only 1,300 hhds and tierces.
REFINED.—Prices have been firm for Refined Goods this
week, and a good demand has prevailed.
To-clay the grocers purchased less freely of Refined Goods,
but the supply being, small, Standard lumps were not to be pur-
rhamd under 82s 6d per cwt. Crushed in bond has been selling
at the low rates of 215 s 3d to 26s 6d per cwt; upon those terms,
however, many parties are disposed to buy.
Ma uaITIU t.—The rates previously established have been
fully supported this week for all qualities, and the trade have
been free pm chasers. This afrecnorin there was less demand,
and holders were not so firm ; privately few purchases were
made, and 403 bags at auction went 6.1 per cwt. under former
rates ; fine brown fetched 60s, mid yellow 61s to 635, and fine
bright 67s per cwt. ; 8,000 bags are declared for sale on Tuesday.

Manilla at an advance cf 6d per cwt. Siam privately at 18s 6d
r)r low white.

FOREIGN.-At 28s to 30s for good quality, but for inferior old
sorts the market is quiet, and former prices have been readily ac-
cepted; low and mid soft 22s 6d to 26s per cwt. Yellow Elavaunau
and fine quality at 19s to 20s, and 200 boxes low to mid quality
at 17s 6d ; very soft Lrnwn went at 16s per cwt. For Brazli

several purchasers, and stiff rates would be paid, but few par-
cels are to be met with. Foreign Molasses at 7s to 7s 6d per
cwt. Fine' Honey is wanted, and is scarce.
TEA.-The market for Tea has presented a very healthy
appearance since our last report; 'prices have further advanced
per lb. The demand has been active all the week for
block tea. Congou has been disposed of at the following rates :
sound common at Is 8d to Is 81/2, good cot-argon is BzYjd to Is
9d, but mid and mid blackish leaf is 91/2 to Is 10d, good blksh
leaf strong Is 101.1 to Is 114, fine and Pekoe flavour flavour
2s to 2s 6d per lb; common to mid kinds continue to be
the most wanted. A good business has been transacted in
green sorts: Twankay of common quality has realised 13 7d,
mid Is 74d to Is 54, good and fine Is 9d to Is 11d. Company's
Congou has advanced Is 9d to Is 94d per lb : importers have
refrained from offering any at auction, and none is declared.
To-day the trade were anxious to purchase Tea, but the
small quantity available tended to check business, and buyers
were compelled to pay Is 84d to Is 94d, for common and good
sound Common Congou, and Is 94 for Company's Congou, cash.
COMFEE.-The Market for British Plantation Coffee has
presented a healthy appearance since our last report; a good
demand has prevailed for all clean desetiptions to supply the
waists of both town and country dealers, and the prices paid
have been fully equal to those of last week. This afternoon a
good demand exis:ed for all descriptions of Coffee for home
consumption, and holders were firm; 362 bags Ceylon

On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the

The MarquiS of SALISBURY moved that the Bill be

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from New-
foundland against the contemplated changes in the con-

made againgt the House of Assembly in the British Par-
liament, of being. too fairourable to the Popish party' and

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a
petition from certain coca-owners in Northumberland,
respecting the employment of children in coal mines.
On the part of the petitioners and of himself
he denied that any such inhuman practices as were set
forth in the Report of the Collieries Commissioners were
permitted in their works. The Noble Marquis com-
plaim.d in very strong terms of the unfairness with which
he alleged the Commissioners had gone about collecting
evidence. They had communicated only with artful boys
and ignorant young girls, and had put all their questions
in such a mann;:r as to suggest the answers that would
suit their purpose. More than than that, they had ac-
companied their Report with disgusting and indecent
prints, representing things that never took place.
