Some more Petitions were laid on the table 41 the
House of Commons last night,froas individeels com-

and the usual refutation attempted. by reading litters

always ready, when any complaint of this kind doses

complaints can have no foundation in truth. With
respect to the treatment of RILEY in York jail, even
the favourable statement. of. Lord Lascaux+, admits
that he was imprisoned with a man preparing for awe.
tion, which was horrible enough ; and that be bed an
iron of five pounds weight put upon his kg. for
hich there could be no necessity, in the case of
a man neither consigned to punishment, nor-de-
tained for trial. Sir Foams Bustoerr's observa-
tions on these subjects, and that of the question of
Annual Parliaments, were most just and appropriate.
Mr. CALCaMpr's motion for a Committee to enquire
into the Laws relating to the Salt Duties was carried
oithout opposition. In the douse of Lords, Earl
nOsTENOtt gave notice of his intention, on Friday
oest to propose a reduction in the Military Esta-
blishment of the present year.

The question of the price of Porter was last night
brought under the consideration of the House of
Commons, by the presentation of the Petition, so
numerously signed, against the monopoly exercised
by the Porter Brewers in the Metropolis. 'lke
Petition was presented by Mr. I.OOIIIIART, who, in
introducing it, stated the case, end pressed the nab.
ject on the attention of the House. Every one most
agree with the Bust. Member who introduced this
question, that such a monopoly as is known to "slot,'
and is - felt by its effects on the comfort et so
many persons, ought to be put down by the Le-
gislature, as being against every principle of
law and fair commercial policy.—Mr. &odium
actually denied the 'sisterly) of sects a Wimp.
poly, and in a long reply, not remarkable. for
its convincing arguments, asserted that the Real
breweries, instead of being the cause of the present
high price of Porter, were most useful to the Public in
keeping it down. Mr. BARCLAY, however, demi

LONDON MARK 17S, Ahnce 10.

Corrox.—There his been very. little business done
in Cotton ; the holders will however submit to no
depression to facilitate sales. The purchases little
exceed 500 packages, consisting of 90 Pernambuco
21. 2d. ; 40 Carriacou 9.31 d. ;a few Seligman Ss. 01d.;
110 Bahia', for export, at 2s. 04d. and more
would have been liken, but the supply of the latter
quality is very limited; besides these, about 120 Ben.
gals were sold in bond at 101 d. to 120. ; and 60
Swats 141 d. to 154 d.
The East India sale on Friday will consist of 1,358
boles Surat Cotton ; the Bengals recently arrived
cannot be brought forward for sateen so early a flay.
The Imports of Cotton last month were 44,054

3E4:mt.—There was a steady Ind relief extensive
demand for Sugars during the last week ; the prices
obtained continued gradually to be at advancing
prices, and at the close of the week a farther im-
vrnvernent of 2s. per cwt. might be stated on the
middling and fine Sugars ; the very low browns at
the advance of is.; dry brown Demerara sold at 761.
with strength 785.; brown Jamaica 765. up to 90s.
for fine.

There has been spin a brisk and rather eatensive
demand for Muscovedes this forenoon ; good Sollars
are scarce, and the improvement we have mentioned
of 2s. per cwt. since our last Report, is realised with
facility. The deliveries continue so extensive, that
the stock is greatly reduced, and will probably boin.
adequate to the demand for some time to come. Of
the stock in the warehouse it is staled, that there
are only about 5000 Ithels. held by the importers; the
remainder in the hands of speculators.
With the eseeption of the purchases for the coun-
try trade, thew was but little business done last week
is the Refined market.

There continues to be considerable enquiries after
Foreign Sugars, but few parcels are on sale, sad the
holders generally are asking higher prices for the
limited supply at market. There have been few
Bruit descriptions on show-for souse time pest.
This forenoon a public sale of Barbados's sugar
wits brought forward, it consisted .1.177 khds. 36

Corm.--There were enly 'l4 casks of Coffee
brought forward by public sale last week; of course
the quantity was too inconsiderable to constitute any
criterion of the market prices; the demand by Pei-
vote contract continued limited; several parcels were
reported to be offered Is. a ts. under what was con-
