The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending Jan. 28, 1844, is 295. 6id. per cwt., exclusive of the liutics of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im portation thereof into Great Britair MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New PI ice Current 'of Jan. 31.) SUGAR.—To-day the demand was extremely limited for West India Sugar, only 150 hhds found purchasers, making the total sales for the week 900 hhds and trs, and the decline in prices is per cwt, excepting for fine yellow, ig which there is very little alteration. EAST INDra.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with attention, and 1,319 bags at auction were all sold at steady rates ; white fetched 65s to 665, good 62s 6d, damp and washed 59s 6d to 63s 6d, good sound ellow at 56s to 58s, middling 54s 6d to 555, low 46s to 48s 6d, damp and washed 44s to 53s 6d, sound brown 42s to 445, damp and washed 41s to 425, the sales were mostly small and irregular, 21 cases of Ceylon were withdrawn. Of Madras 2062 bags were offered at public sale and all sold principally for Refining, da-ep and washed fetched 40s to 49s and fine yellow ditto 51s 6tl to 5256 d per cwt being the fullworth. Rum, BRANDY, AND 11OLLANDS.--1101derS of Leeward Island have been desirous to sell this week, and sub mitted to a reduction on former rates of 1(1 to lid per gallon, still buyers have purchased with reluctance, and only 50 puns have been sold at 2s Id to 2s 2,1 per gallon proof strength. Demerara met with little attention, and a decline in the value of Id to 2d has occurred; ouly 40 puns have been sold at 3s Id to 3s 2d for 33 to 39 per cent. over proof. Jamaica of fine and high flavoured quality is much wanted, and command stiff rates; several parcels sold at 5s to 7s per gallon, but for all other sorts the market is in a very dull state, and prices are drooping, 4s accepted for 20 puns of good quality, 33 per cent. above proof. Although Calcutta Rum can be purchased at 2s per gallon proof, with certificate, still there has been scarcely any business done this week. A Government contract for Rum it is expected will be shortly declared. In Brandy there has been less business done, but purchases cannot generally be made on lower terms. Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 3d, puns 5s Id ; 1839, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d; 1840, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; 1841, hhds 4s 11d, puns 4s 9d; 1842, ht . ds 4s Bd. puns 4s 6d ; 1843, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, common 2s 8d to 2s 11d, mid to good mid 3s to 4s, and Bordeaux 2s 6d to is 9d per gallon ; indeed, upon these terms. some holders will not sell. The supply of Geneva being still small, buyers are compelled to pay Is 10d to is 11d for export, and 2s 4d to 3s 6d for fine fit for duty. The market is firm for English Corn Spirits at lOs 2d cash. COFFEE.—This afternoon three parcels of Mocha Coffee amounting to 773 bales and 30 cases were offered at public sale; the demand was good, and every lot was actually disposed of at fully former rates ; indeed, in sc,me cases, a cmall advance uas obtained : middling greenish clean garbled fetched 60s to 625, low middling 58s to 59s 6d, rather broken 53s to 548 6d, good middling yellow long berry 71s, middling ditto 68s sea damaged 635, small broken 465, middling bright sound yellowish 60s 6d to 61s: 126 bales 14 half bales Padang were nearly all withdrawn— a few lots of black were sold at 14s 6d to 16s. Of Ceylon, 160 bags were sold at Is advance, and fetched 52s to 52s 6d fur good ord colour.). ; 68 casks of West India went at steady prices, fine fine ordinary Jamaica 72s to 755, dingy 50s, Ber bice IoW mid 70s, fine ordinary 655, good ord 62s 6d, but a part only sold. There was more done privately in good ord pale Ceylon at 51s to 51s 6d per cwt. TEA.—The market has presented a brisker appearance for Black and Green Tea this week; merchants have manifested firmness, and none has been submitted to public competition, the general tendency of prices is upwards. The deliveries continue to be as _ large as ever, and there is no kind of Tea pressing upon the market. For the lower descriptions of Congou there has been an extensive demand from the trade, and the rates paid show an advance on those of the public sales of last week of id per :lb, indeed the market has been nearly cleared of these kinds, com mon has fetched 1 lid to Is, and good common Is 04(1 to is Old, in other sorts several purhases have been made, and at stiffer rates, rather coarse to rather strong selling at is Oid to Is 2d, blackish leaf to blackish leaf rather strong is 3d to Is 6d, strong is 7d to is 100, blackish leaf Pekoe kind Is 11d to 2s 6d per lb. In Poucnong there has been a good deal doing, and prices are still going up ; the sorts most in re quest are those from 7d to I Id, clean cannot fie purchased under the former figure. The stock is nearly all in second hands. Twankay is not higher, but at former terms, the demand has been very good, low leaf realizir ' s Is 2id to is 3id, brightish leaf is 4d to is 9d, and Ilyson kind is 10d to 2s sd. 'Tyson has been in excellent demand, and very full rates nre given, common selling at 2s 6d to 2s 7d ; fair to good 2s 8d to 2s lld ; and superior 3s to to 4s 6d at 2s 6d a very large parcel of common yellow leaf imported in 1838 has been sold. Young Ilyson has Wien sought after, Canton and Twankay kind at 2s to 2s 4c, and Hyson kind 2s 6d to 3s Gd. Gunpowder is me lh wanted, but there not being much in the market the trade are compelled to pay stiff rates, sales made at 2s 9d to 3s 2d for Canton, and Twar'.key kind and Hyson kind 3s 3d to 4s Bd. Imperial has net with a good demand at 2s 7d to 2s lld for Canton. and 'fwankey kind and Hyson kind 3s to 3s 6d. Of fi n e scented Orange Pekoe the supply is un usually small, and buyers are in consequence compelled to pay the high rates of 3s 5d to 3s Gd per lb. In Hyson skin sales have been made at 10d to is 6d per lb. The trade are mot overstocked with Tea, and there is only a small guaranty in the hands of speculators. Ilse.—'2Jaere has been an imprcved demand for Bengal Rice, and former rates are supported, although the market bass been better supplied ; by private con tract some parcels have been disposed of, and 2 591 bags were sold at and after the public sales, good amid white at lls to Ils Gd, good white lls 6d, sea damaged, first class 10s 6(1 to I Is, second class lOs to 1.9 s 6d. third class 9s Gd to 10s, and fourth class 8s per cl it. Stocks in second hands are reduced to a low ebb, and there is a good consumption good on. Madras is wanted, and previous prices are well Ells , tained ; by i private treaty several pa sca l s h ave been disposed c.f . , and at auction 1,182 bags fetched 8s 6d for pi nky ratherdusty and broken, 9s Gd for common white Bengal kind, and 6s to Ss per cwt for sea damaged. Jas a ihas been sought after, and full prices offered, but the: supply market is still scanty; yellow is worth 8s Gd tol?s 6d, and white lOs to 12s 6d per cwt. Cleaned Rice in ;good demand, Patna at 13s 6d to 17s, Carolina first sort 28s, inferior 23s per cwt. COLLIERY EXPLOSION and LOSS OF LIFE. (Abridged from the Nottingham Review.) Last Monday, at a quarter past one in the afternoon, a tremendous explosion occurred at the Cinder-hill Col liery, situate on the Alfreton-road, three miles from Not tingham. At the time of the explosion, the men em ployed at the colliery were engaged in their routine labours, and several of them were much injured, but we are glad to have to state that only one of the workmen has lost his life. The buildings in which the explosion took place con sist of boiler and engine-houses, both substantial erec tions ; the engine-house adjoins the former on the south side. Joseph Rolleston, engineman, was standing in the boiler-house at the time the boiler burst. lie states that he had just been trying the boilers—three of which were at work, and one out of use—when the boiler nearest the engine exploded, although there was plenty of water in it at the time. After trying the boiler, he had placed himself in the doorway, when he felt himself affected by a shock, which he compares to an electric stroke. After being whirled round by the concussion several times, he fell to the ground, and was buried under the ruins of the building. At the moment he fell to the ground, he saw the roof flying into the air to some height, and the ma terials of which the walls are composed shooting off in various directions. When the roof dropped, one of the large timbers of which it was composed, fell perpen dicularly over him, and supported the mass of slates, stones, and smaller timbers above. Although much stunned, he did not lose his senses, but as soon as possible began to ferret his way out, and haviag placed himself at the top of a remaining wa ll , h e was quickly extricated by his friends. William Parker, the only man killed, wag superin tendent of the workmen employed on the pit tank. When he heard the explosion he made a start to plsce himself between two coal-waggons near to him, on the side of the pit mouth; whilst doing so, he turned his head to see what bad happened, when a piece of stone struck him on the mouth, and killed him on the spot. The cause of the accident was probably from want of a fresh supply of water, but whether the result of negli gence, or by accident, may never be proved. The loss of property by this accident has been great, in addition to the necessary cessation of the works for at least a month. The whole of the engine-house and boiler-house will require re-building ; half a new boiler will be required ; much new piping will be needed, again to complete the machinery ; and many additional ex penses must be incurred. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body of Par ker, which was adjourned until this day (Friday). TUE COURT.—Should the contemplated arrange ments be carried into effect, and her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert visit the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, at Arundel Castle, during the approaching sojourn of the C our t a t Brighton, the royal visit to the Noble Duke and Duchess is likely to take place on or about the 11th proximo, instead of the 18th, us was stated in our publication of yesterday. THE CHURCH RIOTS at EXETER CORRESPONDENCE. St. Sidwell's, Jan. 18, 1845. Dear Mr. Mayor,—You are aware that last Sunday, as I came from church, I was assailed in a very disor derly manner by a rtob, which bad assembled at the churchyard gate. As it is not impossible that there may be an attempt at a repetition of such proceedings to-morrow, I thought it right to inform you, in order that you may take such steps as will insure the peace of the city.—Your obedient servant, FRANCIS COURTENAY. The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter. Bradninch-place, Jan. 18, 1845. Dear Sir,—Some rumours have reached me, and these have been retailed, as I am told, by the Western Times, that an attempt will be made to-morrow to create a dis turbance not only at St. Sidwell's, but at St. Paul's. As the minister of the latter parish, I write to inform you of this threatened disturbance, that you may take such measures for the preservation of peace as you may think proper. I fear nothing in the morning, but in the afternoon and evening services I think some watchful ness will be required, not only to-morrow, but for some Sundays following.—Believe me, yours faithfully, JOAN ARMSTR . ONG, The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter. Guildhall, Exeter, Jan. 21, 1845. My Lord,—On Saturday I received letters from the Rev. John Armstrong and the Rev. Francis Cuurtenay, intimating that they expected there would be disturb ances in their several parishes on the following day, and requesting me to take measures for the preservation of the peace. Accordingly, the whole of the day police, with a large additional force of constables, were on duty. After the morning service in St. Sidwell's, Mr. Courte nay was met at the churchyard gate by a large mob of persons and upwards of 600 followed him with occa sional hisses and groans till he had reached his residence on Southernhay. In the afternoon, notwithstanding pouring rain, more than 2,000 persons assembled in the same disorderly way, and with increased violence dese crated the Sabbath. The police behaved with the greatest temper and circumspection, and effectually protected Mr. Courtenay from any personal injury, al though at one time, near the Old London Inn, the rush as so great as almost to overpower them. In the even ing, Dr. Coleridge, who preached at St. Sidwell's in his surplice, was also assailed by a formidable mob on his quitting the church. a Hitherto the police has been able to prevent personal violence, and every possible endeavour shall be used for the preservation of the peace ; but it is impos,ible to say what serious consequences may ensue upon a repetition of such unlawful proceedings. I felt it to be my duty, with the concurrence of the magistrates who have assisted me, to give your Lord ship this information ; and respectfully to inquire if your Lordship can recommend any measures to prevent the cause of such disorderly assemblies.—l have the honour to be, your Lordship's faithful and obedient servant, EDWARD WOOLMER, Mayor. The Bishop of Exeter. N.B. There was no disturbance in the parish of St. Paul. Tuesday Evening, Jan. 21, 1845. My Lord,—Since I had the honour of addressing your Lordship this morning on the subject of the un happy disturbances in this city on Sunday last, I have received a requisition, signed, as you will perceive, by a most respectable and influential portion of the inhabi tants of Exeter—an authentic copy of which requisition I enclose for your Lordship's consideration. Having already detailed to your Lordship an account of the disturbed state of the city on Sunday last, I have only to add my prayer to that of the requisitionists, that your Lordship will interfere to prevent a repetition of those disgraceful scenes.--I have the honour to be, your Lordship's faithful and obedient servant, EDW ARD WOOLMER, Mayor. Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Exeter. TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF EXETER. We, the undersigned citizens of Exeter, most deeply deplore the violation of the Sabbaths in our hitherto peaceful and well-conducted city yesterday and on the Sunday previous ; and, whilst we deeply regret such a mode of manifesting public opinion, we should be guilty of concealing our own feelings, and of a dereliction of duty to you, were we not to express our decided con viction that a representation of the circumstances should be ufficially communicated by you to the Lord Bishop of the diocese, requesting his Lordship (who has the power) to restore peace and good order to our city on future Sabbaths. Dated January 20, 1845 _ _ (Signed by 151 Citizens of Exeter. Bisliopstowt', Jan. 22, 1845. Mr. Mayor,—l have this day received the letter of the 2 tat instant, which, with the concurrence of the magis trates who have assisted you on occasion of the recent outrages in St. Sidwell's parish, you have done me the honour of addres s ing to me , " res p ec tf u lly i nqui ring if I can recommend any measures to prevent the cause of such disorderly assemblies." Thus applied to by such authorities, I must not scruple to answer with the frankness which becomes me. You and the other magistrates have not informed me what you consider the cause to be. Thus left to my own conjectures on the subject, I must first endeavour to satisfy myself, on the very slight information vi hich has reached me, what the cause of these violations of the peace has really been. The wearing of the surplice by Mr. Courtenay or Dr. Coleridge in preaching, is cer tainly not, of itself, the cause ; for the surplice was so worn in St. Sidwell's Church, both by Mr. Courtenay and by his predecessor, for several years, without excit ing any popular disturbance, or any intimation, to me at least, of any adverse feeling on the part of their parishioners. It was not till the very extraordinary agi tation which has recently been excited at Exeter, that the use of this vestment in the pulpit was visited with any mark of popular displeasure. It appears to me, therefore, that it is this agitation %Mai has been the true cause of the present disgraceful state of things at Exeter; and as this cause has already acted, I am unable to " recommend measures to pi event" it. It is, indeed, within the ability of every one to recom mend measures which may prevent the recurrence of so fruitful a cause of mischief', the principal of which is the very obvious one, of warning all, in every station, espe cially those whose station and influence may be expected to be greatest, to beware how they venture to excite the fanatical feelings of a mob, which the experienceof every age and every place has proved to be much mote easily excited than allayed. I would not dwell unnecessarily on; matters too noto rious to need to be recounted ; but justice to the mis guided populace on this occasion demands the admission, that their present excesses have been provoked by the unreasonable and culpable violence of many of their su periors, and by the scarcely less culpable indifference of many others. I have myself seen, not only placards on the walls of Exeter proclaiming a " G. eat Protestant Meeting," but even the report of the proceedings of that meeting in one of the most respectable public journals of this or any other county, headed by the same danger ously exciting description. That a" No Popery" cry thus wantonly raised should issue in the excesses which all decent persons must now deplore, cannot be matter of astonishment to any one who regards history as a re cord of the follies and crimes to which the rashness more frequently than even the wickedness of man may conduce. While I am writing to you, I have received your se cond letter, brought to me by an express messenger, containing a requisition to you signed by many (I doubt not) very respectable inhabitants of Exeter, who " ex press their decided conviction that a representation of the circumstances should be officially communicated by you to the Lord Bishop of the diocese, requesting his Lordship (who has the power) to restore peace and good order to their city on future Sabbaths." Your own letter " adds our prayer to that of the re quisitionists, that I will interfere to prevent a repetition of these disgraceful scenes." Both you and the requisitionists are pleased to ascribe to me a "power" which I must in all sincerity disclaim. I cannot undo what has been already done. I cannot recal that spirit of sober piety, of respect for the laws of the Church and of the State, of due regard to the con scientious feelings and indisputable rights of the clergy of Exeter, which it has been the indefatigable lab'mr of many of its inhabitants, who are above the vulgar, during several weeks to chase away. If' the magistrates of your great city are now powerless --if the law is on each succeeding Lord's-day violated with impunity—if the utmost boast of those who ad minister it be (as I understand your letter as manifestly implying) to guard an unoffending clergyman harm'ess through your streets, while no attempt is made to vindi cate justice by punishing a single individual of those by whom his life has been endangered—l cannot flatter myself with the hope that I can do anything towards the restoration of peace, in the legitimate sense of the word —peace, that is, which is based on order, and insures the peaceable enjoyments of the rights of all men. I can, indeed, write a letter to Mr. Courtenay, ad vising him not again to preach in his surplice, unless he conscientiously, and on lull inquiry, is satisfied that he may not do so, withcut violating his solemn engagements to the Church. But even this is a responsibility which I dare not take upon myself. For I much fear that thus to give a triumph to popular violence can only result i n unnerving the law, and exposing its administrators (whether deserving or not) to contein, t. But, while I refuse to incur this responsibility myself, I deem it right so far to comply with the urgent appli cation made to me, as to furnish you, Mr. Mayor, vv,.ose office makes you most responsible for the permit-eat peete and good order of Exeter, wi th a letter to Mr. Courtenay, which you will, or will not connnunicat to him, as you shall think proper. I inclose it unsealed, in order that you may` — and after re a di ng , ma y either deliver or withhold it• it Let me add, that I have bad no cornmun,catiotl extraordinary Courten, either directly or indirectly, on this y occurrence.—l have the honour to b Mayor, Ilith great respect, your mo,t obedient s,e,rvrar Exl4l) , The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter. A Exeter, Saturday*, Jar. 2, 1-1 la , My Lord Bid.lop,—l am in receipt of the letter o the inst., which your Lordship did me th 2 our addiiss to me In reply to my letters to your Lord sbl ifi% the 21st inst., detailing the serious disturbances 3w had taken place in the parish of St. Sidwell's, an d P rI E ing for your Lordship's interference to preven t the co'" of such disorderly assemblies. I have also received lin open letter, addressed to the Rev. Francis Courirdlo which your Lordship inclosed in the one address 0. me, and which I delivered to that gentleman in c° formity with your Lordship's permission.

Mr. Mayor,—l have the honour to acknowledgcto Bishopstowe, Jan. 27, 184 , 5 0 receipt of your letter of the 25th inst., which k u li s d o • day reached me, " requesting my permissio n, st ne„itet sire of the full bench of magistrates, to pu blish mY to you of the 22d." That letter was written, hastily indeed —for P ur ofot senger was waiting for it—but not inconsideratell en d I found myself compelled to write in self-defenceoo; in order to repudiate that responsibility for " tb.Lt ration of peace and good order to the city . of P" — e i c l ett which your own letters of the 21st—then just,rec„,-yoll (the only ones, indeed, which I had received Tr?"", doe ll isio on the subject, though the first outrage a St occurred on Sunday, the 12th)—seemed by prett Y Pos implication, and which the accompanying ret i tils professed in express terms, to cast upon me. T neitil e ! A letter, written under such circumstanc es, at the time of writing it wished you to regard _11,410, vate, nor do I now hesitate in permitting y ou to p o i , " sr Of course, the communication to which it vv il i s b e pub" sorer, as well as our present correspondence, w,"Lat lished with it, and no remarks appended, In t " - , apo° having an opportunity of making any observation ded them which shall seem to me necessary to be In the publication. As relates to Mr. Courtenay's publication of 01 o let s b ier e to him, I knew nothing of his intention till I s e ll a lier letter in the newspaper. But under his P circumstances, I do not blame him for the publicso especially as the letter itself does not cast blai ne nllo r 0 5/ one.—l have the honour to be, Mr. linYur' - rt l obedient servant, EX S " The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exe P.S. lam just informed, that a statement app to to 0. some newspaper, that several gentlemen aPP" st utb, ° ; last week as I passed through Exeter, to 101 . e 7, 0 0 1 ' 14 rity with Mr. Courtenay to prevent his Wi n ri r e. fa in the surplice. This statement is altogether ter. otos " (From the Times.) I,oll d ig or If the Bishop of Exeter loves notoriety , 011 accomplished his desire, but not very aloe, r e consistently.

From the °f pe'pr ence between his Lordship and the MsY;: r ; d e cid e • 0 0 will which we print elsewhere, o u r readers "' 0 00 1- 0 themselves how far the Bishop deserves comet Eye be or censure in the matter of the late turaul t h s at POLIO For ourselves, we think there is ranch termed absurd, and something t h a t carries a sebolVoi, of insincerity in the Bi s h o p' s reply. la item, thrt,/ree the notion to be entertained for one 10 01 ,7,: t erhn s io though not officially informed of the:: a .- tea iis he could be entirely ignorant of t' e- saf e the after their occurrence ?
