MARKET IN T ELLIGEN CE.

(From the London New Price Current, April 13.)
SUGAR —To-day :the Colonial Sugar market was
closed on account et the holidays, but will re-open to-
morrow; the public sales declared are small, and the
same remark applies to Foreign. A better home trade
demand is looked for, but no general rise in the value is
anticipated. _ _

-
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in good demand
for home consumption, and rates ruled firm; low to fine
grocery lumps at 44s 6d to 48s 6d per cwt. Of Crushed
Sngar several parcels were taken for shipping at the
former value.

MAIIRITIIIS.—Previous terms are sustained, and
several transactions have taken place privately both for
grocery and refining purposes. The rates obtained for
fine yellow were 33s 6d to 365, middling to good 303 6d
to 33, common 293 to 30s, low to flue grey from 28s to
34., good to superior brown 26s 6d to 28s 6d, inferior
and low 223 to 265, fine grainy yellow 37a to 40s, good
35s to 363 6d, and low to middling 31a to 34s 6d. At
auction 2,059 bags were all sold.
EAST INDIA.—To-day a large business was concluded
privately in white Bengal Sugar at full rates, and many
parcels of Khaur were disoored of at 22s to 22s 6d per
cwt.

FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was sought after
by exporters at last week's valuations; but business of
moment was prevented by the few parcels on offer. For
2,000 bags brown Bahia in bond 15s to 16s was paid,
and 21s 6d for a cargo of fine yel'ow Havannab.
MOLASSE9.—There is less enquiry after West India,
and holden:: appear more inclined to sell, although stock
is yet light. The present value is 13s to 13s 6d for Bar-
bs:lees and Antigua, and for other sorts 123 to 12s 6d
per cwt. In Cuba and Porto Itico little has been done,
and prods are offered 13s to 13s 6d. In Bengal and
Mauritius the business done has been small at lis 6d.
Honey finds a free sale, low to middling Jamaica at 403
to 38e, and good to fine 503 to 58s; there is not the least
increase of supply. Several parcels Tamarinds have
been taken, West India at 23s to 345, and East India at
8s to 12s per cwt.
COCOA.—Stock of West India rather exceeds that of

last season by 5,400 bags. There is a reluctonce to
operate, and rates have a downward tendency, although
consumption is favourable. Trinidad, fine can be ob-
tained at 39s to 41s, good 36s to 38s, low to middling,
33s to 355, grey 30s to 335, and 6r.rciaada from 28s to
345. Foreign met with little notice although there are
sellers of Bahia and Para at 23s 6d to 255, and Guaya-
quill at 28s to 293.

COFFEE--To-day there was not the least improve-
ment in the home or export demand for Coffee, and none
was submitted to public sale. The value of good ordi-
nary Nativo Ceylon 15 375 nd to 38s per cwt., and rather
incline downwards.

Edam 343 to 4.1 e, Gouda 283 to 345, and Kants 173 to
183 per cwt.

BENSON'S SAFETY RAILWAY TRUCKS
An improvement of considerable importance in the
present system of conveying goods on railway?, has
recently been effected by Mr. Henson, the success of
which is amply attested by the most competent prac-
tical men in all the details of this description of traffic.
Until the glaring imperfections in the ordinary con-
struction of goods' trucks had been sufficiently exposed
in the gold-dust robberies on the South-Western
Railway, it was not supposed that they contained the
germ of SO much mischief. But robberies of all
descriptions of merchandise bad long been matters of
daily occurrence, as may easily be conceived when
the unprotected state of the waggons is considered,
and it is remembered that a vigilant escort
is only provided when bullion is being con-
veyed, though even then the ingenious thief has not
been foiled. Robbery, however, is not the only inci-
dent of goods traffic by these trucks. The common
practice has been to keep together in them the most
incongruous articles—silks and sugars, draperies and
blackings, firkins of butter, and barrels of lucifer
matches. Over these packages a tarpaulin has been
loosely spread, partly secured by ropes, the constant
shifting of which and the chafing of the goods against
the rough iron fittings of the waggon, have proved
highly destructive. From these causes it has fre-
quently happened that merchandize has arrived in a
damp state, or in tA bad condition ; and we believe it
impossible to estimate the amount of losses thus
arising from theft, and the depreciation of perishable
commodities. These tarpaulins, moreover, besides
being no security against the weather or the thief,
are the occasion of a vast cost to every railway com-
pany, and there can be no question as to the expe-
diency of dispensing with them.
The essential points to be united in the construc-
tion of a goods' truck are, facility of loading and un-
loading when open, facility of opening and closing,
and that it should be proof alike against water, fire,
and thieves. In Mr. Henson's waggon all these con-
ditions have been ingeniously observed, and they have
also been combined with an economy which every-
body of railway directors will be certain to appre-
ciate. By a judicious combination of wood framing
and sheet iron—sometimes plain and sometimes cor-
rugated, as the nature of the traffic may require—a
vast amount of strength has been given to these
structures, and a degree of lightness as yet unknown.
Added to thi,, great attention has been paid to the
form of each carriage, so as to reduce to a mini-
mum the resistance which the atmosphere offers
to its motion at a given velocity. In the con-
struction of the roof the same principles have
been applied, and the result is, a strong and light
covering, which, when fastened down, renders the
truck as completely secure as if it were a merchant's
safe on wheels. Either the whole, or part of the roof
may be raised, to suit the requirements of the traffic ;
but in general, so much of it only as is necessary.
Side doors are likewise provided, which can be readily
opened or closed by one man, whereas several have
hitherto been required to close each truck. By means
of a self-locking apparatus, which can only be
_released
by the persons in charge, perfect security is insured,
and so far as danger from robbery is to be appre-
hended and provided against, the contrivance may be
pronounced perfect. It must be obvious, too, that in
carriages of this description, merchandise ll cannot fe
to come to hand in proper condition—neither mois-
tened or damped by the contact of wet, nor injured
by friction against iron nuts, ropes, or tarpaulins.
To the public in general and to railway companies,
Mr. Henson's waggons must prove eminently advan-
tageous. The superseding of the extensive and in-
jurious tarpaulins is an improvement sufficient in
itself to render the new system invaluable; and it
may be mentioned incidentally, as en illustration of
its great value, in a financial point of view, that this
simple feature of Mr. Henson's arrangement has, on
one railway alone, effected a saving of some thousands
per annum. As regards the working of goods trains,
also, a great economy of locomotive power must
necessarily arise ; for the weight of the carriages
being vastly less, and the resistance of the air upon
them diminished, they require a smaller tractive
force. The mercantile public will also profit largely
by the change, in the greater security of their pro-
perty, and the better condition in which it will reach
them, compared with the state of circumstances which
has prevailed hitherto. Altogether, the improvement
is, perhaps, the most satisfactory that has been intro-
duced for years past into the working system
of our lines of railway, and, before long, will cer-
tainly effectuate some beneficial and important
changes in the cost of the conveyance of goods.

TEA--There is yet a reluctance on the part of home I
dealers to transact business in Colman and export
orders not increasing, purchases in all descriptions can
easily be made at previous low terms. The supply is
plentiful, and there are sellers of low quality at 7d, good
ord sound 71d to Bd, rather blackish leaf to blackish leaf
Enkd to 101 d, fine and Pekoe kinds I Id to is 5d per lb;
under any circumstance little variation from these rates
is looked for. In Oolong little has been done, good to
fine can be obtained at lid to is 3d, and low to mid Sd
to 10. For Souchong a good demand prevails, yet rates
do not improve; fine selling at is 2d to is 7d, and low to
good 81 to is id. Sales to a fair extent have been made
in Pouchong at 4d to 6il, and of this sort of Tea supply
does not increase. Scented Orange Pekoe is offering
at low terms, yet operations are upon a smal
scale, good to fine at is id to is 7d, common to mid 9d
to ls; the lower sorts being almos unsaleable. Flowery
Pekoe is yet in good request, previous low rates being
readily taken-of is to is 61 for low to good, and is
8d to 2s 8d for fine and choice. There are free sellers
of Green at former valuations, but without causing
any increase of demand, and there is a plentiful
supply, mostly of recent importations. The limited
sales effected were Hyson, low to mid at is to is 3d,
good to fine ls 4d to 2s, superior 2s 2d to 2s 81, young

per lb, but scarcely any demand exists. To-day several
parcels of good ord sound Congou sold at the low rates
of 71d per lb. For other sorts there is yet a dull sale.
RICE.-East India is not offered at any further reduc-
tion. The value of good to fine white Bengal is Os 91

Purchases contiuuo small in Caroline at 21s to 275, and
in Patna at from I Is to 164 a reduction is also looked
for. Sago is wanted, small pearl at 15s to 17s, and large
ditto 21s to 245. Sago Flour is in good request, and not
offered under 14s. Orders are on the increase for Ar-
rowroot, Bermuda realiso la to ls 2d, other sorts West
India 3d to Bd, Brazil and East India lid to 21d. For
Tapioca dull sale prevails, and rates incline downwards;
Rio was offered at 21 to 4:11d, and Para lid to ti d per lb.
SPIRITS.-There is a reluctance on the part of ex-
porters and home dealers to operate in Jamaica Rum;
supply remains plentiful, and there are free sellers of
superior marks 34 to 38 over proof at 3s 41 to 4s, fine
ditto 2s lld to 3s 3d, good mid to good/132 to 35 over

FOREIGN MUSICAL, lIN I'ELLIGENCE.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
M. Leopold de Meyer has been distinguishing
himself at a few of our recent concerts, where he has
excited a genuine enthusiasm by the brilliancy and
originality of his playing. Standing perfectly aloof
from all imitation, or even resemblance to the other
great pianists of the day, M. de Meyer displays a
verve and poetry both in his compositions and execu-
tion, which, combined with his marvellous power over
the instrument, render his performance perfectly
unique, and stamp it with the rare gift of genius.
An interesting concert was given a few days ago
by M. Tellefsen, a Norwegian pianist of distinction,
and one of the best pupils of the late Chopin. M.
Tellefsen performed several morceaux in a manner
which vividly brought to mind the style and execu-
tion of the great artist. Besides the benOciaire, M.
Franchomme, the favourite violoncellist, executed
several pieces with a mastery that obtained tor him
loud and unanimous applause ; his son, a lad of 12,
also performed in a manner truly surprising on the
same instrument, and the concert was brilliantly
concluded by Mme. Sabalier, who
gave some of her
chansonnettes in her most popular manner.
M. Berlioz's "Benvenuto Cellini" has been pro-
duced at Weimar, and, according to a letter from M.
Listz, under whose direction it was got up, with
great success. This noble work, which contains
more beauties than any three modern productions
(those of Meyerbeer alone excepted) produced for
years at the Grand Opera in Paris, was sacrificed to
the musical clique who reigned at the opera when it
was brought out, and whom the honest criticisms of
Hector Berlioz had made his inveterate foes. It must
be added that the indisposition of M. Duprez, who
was unfortunately taken ill at the precise moment of
its being brought out, was the immediate cause of
stopping the run of this fine work.
Mine. Alajtno has been singing with success at
Leghorn, in Pachara Medea.
A new opera has been successful at the Careen°, in
Milan, under the title of La Sacerdotessa d'lside, the
music by Maestro Mazza, and the libretto by M.
Torelli. Mme. Leva and MM. Scola, Righini, and
Cervini, are highly spoken of in the principal parts.
At Florence, Verdi's Luisa Miller, with Mme.
Albertini, and MM. De Vecchi, Gorin, and Euzet, is
said to have created great enthusiasm ; the excellence
of the ensemble must, however, needs have been im-
paired, by the fact of M. Gorin having completely lost
his voice.

22, and 17 under proof 9s; indeed a reduction is looked
tor. There are now few buyers of Geneva; sellers are
willing to accept is 9d to Is 10d, and for fine 2s to 2s
4 per gallon, supply being more plentiful.
SPicEs.--bassia Lignea is still scarce, and wanted
from 112 s to 1238 per cwt for low to fine. The market
is, however, without a supply of Cassia Yetis, there are
buyers at stiff rates. Some parcels Cassia Vera have
been sold at 503 to 60s, and the quantity here
is small. Cinnamon finds a more ready sale.
The value of first sort Ceylon is from is 10d
to 3s, and second ditto Is 4d to 2s 3d; third and fourth
ditto is Id to Is Bd. Cloves remain in fair demand, and
rates range firm; Amboyna 7d to Bd, Penang lld to is
2d, African and Bourbon 6d to 6id. A fair business
concluded in Mace. Sales of first sort made at 2s 4d
to 2a 6d, second ditto 23 Id to 2s 3d, and
inferior Is Ild to 2s. Nutmegs are held with firmness,
Sales privately of low to mid brown made at is 10d to
2s 7d, better sorts 2s 8d to 3s, and fine 3s 2d to 3s 7d;
the value of fine sound limed is from is 7d to 2s
2d; but at auction 40 casks were nearly all taken in.
Pepper is in good demand. Malabar realised
3H 3 to 4d: Penang and Sumatra 3id to aid. White is yet
scarce and much in demand at 8(1 to I Id. Pimento is in
good demand privately at from 44d to 48d per lb. In
Ginger the private operations exceed those of last week,
and supply being small, the terms of the past week are
well supported. African selling at 24s to 253; Cochia, low
to mid 30s to 38s, good to fine 403 to 665, Jamaica 50s
to 2101, and low 40s to 483 per cwt.
CCCIIINEAL.—A free sale still prevails, supply is
limited, and rates on the advance for all sorts. Privately
Honduras silvers fetched from 3s 8d to 33 lid, black
43 2d to 5s Id, Mexican 33 9d to 4s 3d, silvers 3s 7d to
3s Bd, Teneriffe black 4s 2d to 4s 6d, and silvers 3s 9d
to 4s Id per lb.
SALTPETRE.—There are now few buyers of rough for
shipping or home consumption in consequence of large
arrivals being near at hand. At present rates are not
lower, and for Calcutta rule at from 25s to 325; Madras
23s fid to 265. British Refined remains in good de-
mand at 29s 6d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda rules at 143 6d
to 148 9d per cwt.
TALLOW.—Operations in Russian on tie spot have
been upon a small scale, and prices incline downwards,
fine old Y.C. being offered at 353, and now at
35s 6d per cwt. At present few buyers are to be
met with for delivery, and at 37s to 37s 3d there are
sellers for the last three months of the year. Home
melted :is not much in request, and can easily be ob-
tained at 39s 6d nett cash. For other sorts of Tallow
there is a quiet market. South American can be ob-
tained at 34s to 355 3d, Australian Sheep 32s 6d to 365,
and Beef 33s to 35s per cwt.

At Naples the revival of Nabucco at the San
Carlo has given great satisfaction, with Mmes. Ben-
dazzi and Gnone; a Mlle. Remcrini, a debutante only
16 years of age, is highly spoken of as Fenena. At
the Fond° L'Elisire d' Amore had been successful,
with Mme. Cortesi, and MM. Gnone and Mon-
tanari.

Mme. Sanchioli is at present singing with success
at Messina, especially as Norina in Don Pasquale.
MM. Prudenza, Monari, and Fieravanti are also men-
tioned in terms of warm commendation.
An Italian journal announces that an operatic
company is in course of formation at Tiflis, in
Georgia!
At the Orient, at Madrid, I Foscari has been
produced with great success, the principal parts
filled by Mme. Cattinari, MM. Sinico and Cresci.
The theatre is said to be on the brink of ruin, the
Queen having withdrawn her protection from the
management, and M. Solera, the impressario, having
been obliged to pay Mlle. Alboni 60,000 f. for 24 re-
presentations, for which his receipts only amounted to
27,000 f.

OILS.—A greater demand exists for Southern Oil, and
prices have improved; middling to fine realised 321 103
to 341; and low 311 15s to 321. Several transactions have
taken place in:Seal pale at 30/105 to 311, other sorts 28110 s
to 301. A gocd demand prevails for Cod at 34/ to 34/10s,
Sperm is much wanted; holders have great confidence,
and obtained 851 to 87/. Headmatter is selling at 901 to
921. Linseed Oil is cheaper; there are, :however, now
many home and export buyers at 25s 9d to 26s per cwt
on the spot. Rape Seed Oil met with little notice, and
rate are receding; brown at 28s 6d to 295, pale 30s;
and Foreign refined 30s 6d to 31s. Cocoa Nut is little
wanted, and prices are going down; of 300 hhds Madras
and Ceylon at auction a small part only sold at 33/ 5s to
331 15s. Sales are limited in Palm, and good to fine
can be obtained at 25s 6d to 26s 6d per cwt. For Lard
Oil the value is 50s to 51s. Olive Oil is cheaper, yet
many parcels have been disposed of; Gallipoli at 43/ to
43/ 103, and other sorts 411 to 421 per tun.
PROVISIONS —A good business has been concluded in
Irish Butter in consequence of low rates that are
taken. Sales of Cork made 68s to 725, Limerick
50a to 60s, Carlow, Clonmel, and Kilkenny 545 to

slow sale; Dorset, fine at 84s to 86s, mid from 60s to
703, low 50s to 563, and fresh 7s 6d to 103 6d per dozen
lbs. With Foreign the market is freely supplied. In
consequence of previous low terms having been
submitted to large purchases have been made;
Friezland, fine at 80s to 84s, surplus and seconds 60s
to 7s 6d, Kiel and Holstein, fine 80s to 82s, inferior 60s

DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE:
LYNN, SUNDAY WIGHT.—The county of Nor`
folk seems likely to meintain the unenviable notoriety'
it has lately gained for crimes of the deepest hue ;
and to the list of tragedies already presented, one of
murder and suicide is now added. The scene of this
outrage is the picturesque village of Castle Rising,
about four miles from Lynn. The perpetrator of the
deed is a man named Daws, a gardener, in the employ
of J. T. Ayre, Esq., and the victims are his wife anti
child. It appears th.st the man had been noticed tto
be in a low state fur some few days, but had been im
constant attendance at his employment, and ola
Saturday last watered the girdea towards evening►
with the child, a little boy aged seven years. This
morning, however, about half-past five o'clock,
a man y* going across the fields observed a body
lying in a river, where the water was shallow,
and which ran near to his cottage. The mall
instantly obtained the assistance of others,
and the body was identified as that of Daws. Some
of the party then proceeded -o the house of the de-
ceased, in order to break the intelligence to his wife.
On arriving at the house of the deceased the doors
were found to be fast, and after vainly endeavouring
to arouse the inmates, they burst open the door. Here
a dreadful scene presented itself. Upon entering the
room, the woman ve.3s found lying in a pool of blood,
with her throat frightfully cut. She was quite dead.
Neer to her was the child, with its head nearly se-
vered from the body. The room bore evidence of s
severe struggle having taken place, anti, from circum-
stances, it is supposed the woman was first attacked
by her husband in bed, and her struggles and cries
awoke the child, who clung to his mother, the night"
clothes of both being nearly torn to shreds. Daw,
was found with nothing on but his shirt, and not far
from him was the knife with which the fatal deed
was done. There was a slight wound in his throat,
which he inflicted, no doubt, whilst standing near the
river, and then flung himself in. No cause can be
assigned for his committing so rash an act except
insanity.

-INCHOLY DROWNING OF yTLVC
DRAGOON GUARDS AT ISLE WORTH
On Sunday afternoon, at about halt-past three
o'clock, an intense excitement and feeling of horror"
was occasioned to large numbers of gentlemen and
ladies promonading on the beau:Val walk leafing frail
Richmond and Kew, by the following sad catastrophe
taking place opposite Isleworth Church

A large number of the 4th Light Dragoons, whose
present quarters are Hounslow and Hampton Court,
had com,i to Isleworth to enjoy themselves, as it les*
Easter Sunday. The principal portion of the soldiers
had taken up their location at the London Apprentice
Tavern, when four of them determined on a row upon
the river. A boat was hired of Mr. Styles at the
ferry, and bad got to a part of the river which is sops'
rated by a small sit or island, from the Grand Junc,
tion Canal, where, it is alleged, from some " larkiui
occurring, the boat was suddenly turned bottom 01);
wards, and the four soldiers were suddenly immerse"'
in deep water. A fearful cry arose from each 810 e:,
and such boats as were proceeding up rowed beetllif
to the spot to render assistance, and several put °
from the ferry. Two of the soldiers were rescued'
but Charles Iviren and Hardy Rouse, two of the ablei
and best soldiers in the 4'h Dragoons, were drowned'
Iviren was only under water little more than a querter
of an hour, and he was taken to the London ApPrel
