MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 27.)

TO-day the market for all kinds of Sugar subject to the 14s
per cwt duty, presented a tranquil appearance. British Planta-
tion was purchased very sparingly for the scale and Refining
purposes, the quantity disposed of amounting to only 110 hhds
and tierces; prices closed 6d to Is per cwt lower for mid to
fine yellow sorts, but in the value of other kinds scarcely any
variation is perceptible at present.
R EFINED. —To-day the marked for home trade goods was
quiet, and pries not so firm ; brown grocery lumps selling at
725, and standard lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
is held for 40s to 41s per cwt, but not much business done.
MAURITIUS.—At public sale only 485 bags were offered on
inferior parcels, which sold upon tfie following terms ; viz., low
soft yellow at 42s bd to 43s 6d, and low foxy brown 38s.
EA ST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 1,901 bags of
Bengal Sugar were brought forward, and the chief part sold at
about the former value, but there was a slackness in the bid-
dings; fine white brought 575, good 53s 6d to 545, middling
52s to 535, damp 51s to 56s 6d; sugar drainage damaged 495,
mid sound brown 455, and damp and washed 43s to 44s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—AII descriptions of Foreign Sugar have met
with much attention from exporters during the week : our re-
finers working under bond are not oet supplied ; a further ad-
vance in prices hrs taken place.
MOLA SSES. —There has been a falling off in the demand for
West India this week ; but the supply being small, merchants
are enabled to obtain full rates.
SPIRITS. —There has been a lively demand for Jamaica Rum
this week, and an advance in prices of Id to 2d per gallon has
taken place ; nearly the whole on offer has been bought up.
Leeward Island has been in excellent request, and stiffer rates
have again been paid. Demerara is wanted, and prices
are still on the rise. Calcutta hss been much en
quired for, but business has been checked by the unwillingness
of holders to sell. In Brandy there has been less business
done, prices are not so firm. Geneva has been in excellent
request for export at is Laid to is 9d, and fine fit for duty is
fetching 2s 2d to 2s 9d. The price of English Corn Spirits is
still lOs 2d psr gallon nett casn.
COFFEE.—This afternoon 603 bags of Native Ceylon were
sold ; the price commenced at 48s 6d for good ordinary pale

is good. In Raisins several purchases have been made at firm
rates.

common sound quality at yid to 10d cash. For Pouchong of
the lower sorts there is a good export demand at 5d to 6id
per lb.
RICE.--To-day Bengal Rice was much sought after, but
higher rates being asked checked business, and 2,140 bags at
autiun were only sold at rather higher prices; good middling
white but rather duty, fetching 12s 6d, sea damaged, first
class lls 6d to 12s, second class sea damaged and repacked
lOs to lls per cwt—full market rates were offered for the
whole.

Sriccs.—Pimento has met with ready purchasers upon
former terms. For Nutmegs the market has a firm appear-
ance, and at previous rates several parcels have been sold pri-
vately. Ginger is still in a dull state, and prices
are drooping. Black Pepper has sustained the former
value. In Mace the operations are upon a more
extended scale, but not at higher rates. In Cinnamon of in-
ferior and coarse quality there has been scarcely any business
transacted, althoudh prices rule very low, but in good and tine
sorts sales to a fair extent have been made at the rates of the
last quartelry sales. In Cassia Lignea little business has been
transacted this week. Cloves have been purchased with
caution.

at public sale, middling grey fair crystal 7i per cent. refrac-
tion was sold at 24s 6d to 25s per cwt which is a shade higher,
but good strong grey 2 per cent refraction was taken in at
26s 6d, unrefracted stained with Indigo at 25s to 25s 6d, 3 per
cent ditto 25s 6d, which is the former worth.

very sweet free from foot went at 28/ to 28/ ss, and middling
to good 271 to 271 lOs per tun, but the chief part sold at 281 to
28155. Seal is less wanted, and prices have assumed a down-
ward tendency. Cod is held 31/ to 31/ 10s, but only a limited
business has been transacted. Sperm has declined in value :
55 tons at auction went at 82/ for British of first quality, and
at 791 15s to 80/ per ton for second sort. For Olive further re-
duced rates have been taken. Palm in excellent request, and
fine fetch 26s 6d to 27s per cwt. With Cocoa Nut the market
is still scantily supplied, and the best Ceylon brought 28s to

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

ROUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
SCOTCH BANKING.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the
own council, bankers, merchants, and inhabitants of Dingwale,
n Ross, against any alteration in the Scotch banking system.

LANDLORD AND TENANTS BILL.

The Marquis of NORNIANBY presented a petition from
the Guardians of the parish of Kilrush in favour of what they
consider a good landlord and tenant Bill.
LAW IN THE ISLE OF MAN.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from John Walters
Caldecott, complaining that he had been imprisoned for eight
months in the Castle Rusbington in the Isle of i%ian, because
he had been unable to procure surety in 1001. for his good be-
haviour. It appeared that he had assaulted his wife, and had
been committed to prison until he could procure bail in that
amount. The petition prayed for inquiry, as he had
been committed to prison without having been heard.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said inquiry had been made,
not only by himself, but his Hon. Friend, the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, and it appeared that the
petitioner after committing a rape on his daughter, assaulted
his wife, for which he was committed to prison in default of
bail. He understood that he had been confined for eight
months for debt.

Lord BROUGHAM knew nothing whatever of the peti-
tioner who had sent him the petition to present to their
Lordships.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was informed that the
proceedings were strictly in accordance with the law of the
Isle of Man. If the law was bad their Lordships might
amend it.

Lord BROUGHAM said it was contrary to common sense
that a man should be imprisoned without being heard.
The LORD CHANCELLOR repeated that the most anx-
ious inquiry had been made, and that the course adopted was
quite in accordance with the law of the land.
Lord CAMPBELL said the petition ought to have appealed
to the proper tribunal, which would have afforded him redress.
If the law of the Isle of Man authorised the authorities to im-
prison a man for eight months, without allowing him to be
heard in his defence, the sooner it was altered the better.
UNIFORM RAILWAY GAUGE.
Lord REDESDALE wished to ask the Noble Lord at the
head of the Beard of Trade, when the Commission for the selec-
tion of the uniform railway gauge would be appointed, and how
soon their report would be given in.
The Earl of DALHOUSIE said that steps had already been
taken by the Government to appoint the Commission, but he
was unable to say when the report would be ready.
Et Lord CAMPBELL gave notice that he would put a ques-
tion to the Noble Earl on Monday next relative to Railway
Companies buying up competing lines, and thereby creating
monopolies. _

The Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition from
the Legislative Council of New South Woles, praying for an
alteration in the sth and 6th Victoria, relative to the disposal
of land in that colony.
RAILWAY BUSINESS.

Lord BROUGHAM moved the adoption of the three resolu-
tions of the Select Committee appointed by their Lordships for
the devising the most effective means to get through the rail-
way business.—Agreed to.
