LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET.—AuGusr

Scotch :—We have experienced a very limited inquiry for. Scotch
wools generally since our last report, yet prices were tolerably
steady. Should the new clips arrive early. they will realize full
rates. Arrivals this week 243 bags, previously this year 3495 bags—
total 5638 bags. Foreign :—The attention of the trade has been
confined of late to the public sales held in London. The prices
obtained there have caused rather more firmness in our market,
but the sales were few, and prices remain without any alteration.
Ai rivals this week 967 bags, previously this year 36,446 bags—total
37,413 bags.

There has been an improved demand for flannels to-day, and

SUGAR. DUTIES

Mr. HAWES said, that the question of the existing sugar
duties was one of great weight; he trusted that something
would be done during the recess, in order to facilitate the
introduction of this article upon fair duties. There was
.a
strong feeling in the public mind upon the subject, and
.it
would be necessary that some steps shonld be adopted on it.
He moved for copies of any memorials presented to the Board
of trade on the present operation of the sugar duties.
Mr. LABOUCHERE stated that he had not placed his defence
of the present system of sugar duties upon financial or com-
mercial grounds. He was quite aware of their oppressive
nature ; and he should not oppose the return for which the
hon. member had moved.
The return was then understood to be ordered.
PROROGATION.
Sir Augustus Clifford, the usher of the black rod, appeared
at the bar at a quarter past two, and summoned the house

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY

Mr. Fortescue, the new member for Louth, took the oaths
and his seat. The hon. member was introduced by Viscount
Morpeth and Mr. M. O'Ferrall.
Sir C. GEEY gave notice, that in the next session he would
*love for leave to bring in a bill to amend the Municipal Cor-
porations Act.
The house was summoned by the Usher of the Black Rod
(Sir A. Clifford) to attend in the other house, to hear the
royal missixt_gin.ll bY.C9,Milgt9W?Aetraiil session he would
move for leave to bring in a bill to regulate factories in Ire-
land ; also for leave to bring in a bill for the drainage of lands
in Ireland.

NSW WRIT

On the motion of Mr. E. J. STANLEY, a new writ was di-
rected to issue for the election of a burge.,s for Clonmel, in
the room of Mr. Pigot, who had accepted the office of At-
torney-General for Ireland.

LOAN SOCIETIES BILL.
Mr. F. MAULS moved, that this house agree to the lords'
amendments made in this bill.

Mr. HAWES moved, that the clause which prevented the
transactions of loan societies from being carried on at public-
houses be expunged.
Mr. WAKLEY seconded the amendment.

Mr. F. MAULS said, that he by no means approved of the
clause ; but he feared if the clause were now expunged, the
bill would be lost for the present session. lf the clause could
be struck cut without risking the loss of the bill altogether,
he should vote for its expunction.
After a short discussion the house divided, when the num-
bers were.—For the clause, 14 ; against it, 40; majority
against the clause, 26.—The clause was struck out, and the
other amendments were agreed to.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY

The Speaker took the chair at a quarter before two o'clock.
Mr. H AWES presented a petition from certain parties,
complaining of the license allowed to counsel in the manage-
ment of criminal causes, and praying that protection might
be extended to those who had to give evidence on such trials.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that the allegations
in the petition formed more of an attack on the privileges of
the public than of the bar.

The petition was then ordered to lie on the-table.
Mr. FRESHFIELD presented a report of the committee on
public petitions.

- Mr. -EWART gave notice that he should take an early
opportunity, next session, to move certain resolutions for
the better regulation of private business, and of private bill
committees.

Mr. J. STEWART presented a petition from Cumberland,
praying that, next session, a bill might be introduced for the
amendment of the law relating to the enfranchisement of
copyholds.

Mr EWART asked the right hon. gentleman (the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade) whether it was intended by the
government to introduce any measure respecting the law of
principal and factor? The subject was very important, and
he trusted that some steps would be taken upon it.
Mr. LABOUCHERE answered that he was quite aware of
the importance of the subject, and that some measure was
daily becoming more and more necessary, in order to place
the law on a more satisfactory footing. His noble friend
(Lord Clarendon) in the other house had introduced a bill
on the subject; but he had received no encouragement in it,
and had not persevered. He hoped, however, that next
session a measure on the subject would be again brought
forward.

SUGAR DUTIES

Mr. HAWES said, that the question of the existing sugar
duties was one of great weight ; he trusted that something
would be done during the recess, in order to facilitate the

Methinks I hear you, Tobias, asking what affects me in
this unusual manner. Perhaps you may, in the simplicity of
your soul, imagine that, like Lord Byron's lady of a noble
line, I weep over the realms of decay, and have some notion
of slating—excuse me from borrowing a word from the vo-
cabulary of the now ministerial and courtly party of Ribbon-
ism—Lord Palmerston, and contrasting his government with
lories of England of old,

esteem for Lord Palmerston. He writesa very good leading
article himself, which, if, he could put a little sense or truth
into the matter, and some slight dash of grammar into the
language, would be admirable specimens of the art upon

IMPORTANT TO MUNICIPAL VOTERS

To secure .a vote at the next municipal election, the
following is the necessary qualification, namely :
" The occupation on the ensuing 31st August, and
during the two preceding years, of a house, warehouse,
counting-house, or shop, within the borough, for which
the occupier is rated, and on which all rates due thereon,

except those becoming due within six months before the
31st, have been paid before that date."

The occupier must also, during the whole of that pe-
riod, (say two years and nine months,) have been an in-
habitant householder within seven miles of the borough.
The day on which claimants' qualifications must be
completed, and the last day for payment of rates, is the
31st of August. The sth of September is the day on
which the overseers are required to make out the burgess
lists, and to deliver them to the Town-clerk, who is to
fir a copy of them on the Town-hall, during the week
preceding the 15th of September.
A person succeeding to the occupation of a house, 4-c.,
by descent, marriage, demise, (5-c., is entitled to reckon
as his own the occupancy and rating of the person by or
through whom he succeeds.
