From the European Nail

The present condition OF the sugar mar
ket may give rise TO anxiety, but improve
ment will come sooner, perhaps, than ex-
pected. The sugar industry of the West
India colonies may still be said to be in II
transition state, and efforts are being made
IN all of them to improve the quality Of
the sugar so as to suit the particular ma
ture of the demand for that article. A re-
cent correspondence in one of the Deme-
rara newspapers shows the attention which
Is given to the subject in chat enterpriSing
colony. The leading idea Of the cores
pOndence seemed to be that the sugar sent
ought to be in such q state AS to be indie
pendent of the home refner. The view is
a sound one, although there seemed a ten
dency, with which little sympathy can be
felt, to say hard things of the refiner who
has filled in past times, and still, indeed,
fills, a very useful position. A greater
part Of the sugar exported from Demerara
TO CHS country is quite fl to 60 into i'm
mediate consumption, without any fur
Their manipulation, and notwithstanding
the favour with which highly refined SUI
gar is regarded, the better classes of raw
sugar are equally available for domestic
purposes, possessing greater sweetening
power, and possibly more nutritious qua
lilies. The preference for white sugar is
TO a great extent purely f%ancifui, AMI the
English public require to be educated to
n better appreciation Of the good kinds Of
produce that come in under the title Of
unrefned. One thing is quite clear, the
consumption ofsugar is steadily increasing,
and the partial failure of any one source
of supply during the present year will ra-

THE POLICE BILI.

Much to the credit Of the Senate, the parti-
8 an bill, interfering with the police appoint
ments CT this city, and attempting to pun
ish the Republican majority of the Coun-
Gil, for exercising the discretion placed
upon them by the Charter, has twice failed
to pass that body. At first, four Senators
Messrs. Riddle and vandergrift, Of this
county, and Mustard and Watson, Of Kent,
voted against it, but subsequently, Mr.. Wander
grift yielded to the party pressure brought on
him, moved reconsideration, which was carried,
and on the second vote, sustained the bill As
it needed two.thirds, however, and Mr.. Shakes
peare was absent, qeducing the Senators pres
ent to eight in number.) the bill again failed.
This is to the credit, we say Of the Senate.
For once its conservative tendencies work for
good. There can be no further motion to re-
consider, except by Mr.. Riddle, Mr.. Mustard, or
Mr.. Watson. OF course, the first will make no
such motion, and we confidently believe that
neither of the other two gentlemen will. Ex-
Governor Saulsbnry, we. are told, spares no eff
fort to force change in their resolution, but
he has discovered this session that his will is not
80 potent as once it was.
