MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, March 23.)
SCGAR.—To-day there was a material increase in the
business transacted in West India Sugar, and full rates
were paid both for Grocery and Refining qualities. The
purchases are 735 hhds, &c., and the market closed with
a firm aspect. There was again no public sale of Bar-
badoes,

REFINED.—To .day, although Refined Sugar was in
good demand for home consumption, yet brown lumps
were easily to be obtained at 43s 63 to 443 per cwt. In
Crushed Sugar rather more business doing for shipping,
but former terms are readily acceded to.
MAuarrros.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with a brisker demand, and the rates obtained were
equal to those of Fridiy. At auction 7,965 bags wero
all sold; fine yellow realised 34s to 35s 61, good mid-
dling to good 323 to 333 €d, lo +v to middling 293 to 31s
6d, middling to good brown 253 to 27e, tine 27s 61 to
283 6d, and refilling qualities from 283 to 343 61.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand for Bengal
Sugar revived. At auction 3,500 bags found buyers,
tine white Bemires at 353 to 36s 61 low, to good 32s to
343 61, damp and washed 313 to 363, ord to mid like
Mauritius 273 to 303, mid and good soft yellow 253 to
283 63. Of Madras several parcels were sold privately
at firm prices, and 977 bags at auction realised 223 6d
to 24s for soft brown, and yellow ditto 243:6d to 28s 6d.
FOREIGN.—To-day some parcels of yellow Hannah
were sold privately, chiefly for shipping, and former
rates were well supported. The market closed with
firmness, and none is offered at public sale.

irlotAssEs.—Fcr West India less inquiry exists, and
prices are not so firm, although few parcels are on
offer. Small sales of new Antigua made at 13s 6d, Bar-
badois 133, and other sorts of West India, at 12i to
133. Prices for Cuba and Porto Rico rule at 133 to
13s 61; Bengal and Mauritius Ils 61 to 123 per cwt;
few buyers are, however, to be met with, yet supply re-
main 3 scanty. Of Tamarinds supply is barely sufficient
for the demand, rates rule at 243 to 343 for West, and 83
to 123 per cwt for East India. Honey sells freely, and
40s to 563 are the Wes paid for low to fine Jamaica; the
supply is yet small.

- -
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was a greater demand
for Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and stiffer rates were ob-
tained. At auction 70 casks and 831 bags were nearly
all disposed of; low middling to middling went at 51s
to 555, fine fine ordinary 483 to 503, fine ordinary 46s to
475, and triage 40s to 455. Native Ceylon was in good
request, and the former value well sustained. At public
sale 220 casks 1,058 bags were nearly all sold at 39s to
39s 6d for good ordinary. Mocha continues to be much
wanted, and rates closed with firmness at from 803 to
1003 per cwt for common to fine clean garbled.
Cocoa.—Although West India is offered at rather
lower rates, the demand has been small for all pur-
poses, and larger parcels are on offer. Of 370 brls and
150 begs Trinidad at auction, a small part only found
buyers; fine red at 393 to 40s, middling to good 34s to
31s, ordinary 33s to 33s 6d, and low to good grey 3ls to
335. Privately Grenada can be obtained at 29s to 345.
For Foreign the market has a dull aspect, and prices are
on the decline. Bahia can be obtained at 235-64 to 245,
Para 24s to 255, and Guayaquil at 28a to 29s per cwt.
TEA.—There is no decided reduction for Congon;
supply is larger and rates have a downward tendency.
There are sellers of low to good ord Congon
at 7fd to Bfd, blackish leaf 91 to 10fd, fine
and Pekoe kinds lid to is sd. In Oolong little
is doing ; goad to fine can be obtained at lld to 2s
3d, and other sorts 81 to 101. Souchong is less in de-
mand, larger parcels are on offer, and sellers are willing
to accept Ild to is 61 for good to fine and 8d to 10d for
inferior. Pouchong is still wanted at 41 to 6d. Green
has been dealt in with much caution. There are sellers of

SALTPETRE.—Previous terms are well sco,a.ned , and
operations have been of a satisfactory nature for all
purposes. At auction 3,500 bags Calcutta wore disposed

96a 61 for common to mid, and 369 bags Madras 23s to

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade,

Whitehall, March 18, 1852.

Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade to transmit to you, for the in-
formation of the Committee for Managing the Affairs of
Lloyd's, the accompanying copies of two notices that
have been received trom her Majesty's Consul at Rot-
terdam, and which were published in the Netherlands
Staats Courant, No. 56, of the sth inet., respecting the
shallows off the Island of Texel, and alteration about to
take place in the existing coast light at West Capello.
(Signed) G. R. PORTER.
Capt. Geo. A. Halsted, R N., Secretary to Lloyd's, &c.

Marine Department, the Hague, Feb. 16.
The Minister ofl Marino having taken :into con-
sideration the numerous strandings and shipwrecks
which occur on the coast of the island of Texel,
hereby informs and cautions mariners that the coast
of the island of Texel is, for the purpose of
avoiding the shallows extending from the said
coast, known under the appellation of the Eyerland
Shallows, and also designated by fishermen as the Gardens
or Orchards, not to be approached within a distance of
two to three German miles,l or a depth of 16 to 18
fathoms, as has of old been intimated and published.
The shallows to the north of the eastern part of Texel
are very dry, and extend about one mile from the shore,
and the ebb stream coming at this part of the coast from
the north-east and east-north-east, by variations of com-
pass is apt greatly to mislead. Ships coming west about
in thick weather and at night are therefore especially
recommended to make timely and careful use of the
sounding line, in order not to approach the coast of
Texel within the aforesaid 16 to 18 fathoms; the result
shown by the sounding line being the safest guide to
keep out at sea, in order to avoid the aforesaid
coast and shallows. As the charts of the North Sea are
in this respect less extensive, and as no special chart of
the Eyerland Shallows is in existence, it is intended
shortly to cause accurate soundings to be made of the
aforesaid Eyerland Shallows, which will then be included
in the Charts of the Mouths of the Sea. The Minister
aforesaid, (Signed) T. ENSLIE.

The Hague, March 20, 1852.
The Minister of Marine hereby informs mariners
that the existing coast light at West Capelle, composed
of argand lamps, with parabolic reflectors, will, in all
probability, have to hcs temporarily extinguished at the
commencement of the ensuing month of May, to be re-
placed by a powerful cstadioptric light of the first class.
From the time when the present light will be ex-
tinguished up to the lighting of the improved light (cal-
culated to embrace a period of about six weeks) an
auxiliary light will be exhibited from the aforesaid
beacon, consisting of a catadioptric lighting apparatus
of the fourth class (small size). The time of lighting
the aforesaid auxiliary light, as also the horizjn thereby
to be lighted, and the distance at which it will be visible
will be published later. The Minister aforesaid,

Light-house on the Punta de, atali:9, province of Para.
Brzzlian Consulate• General, Liverpool, March 17.

Sir,—l am directed by the Brazilian Government to
make public, for the information of all parties whom it
may concern, that a light-house, of which I beg to hand
you the particulars, has recently been erected on the
Ponta da Atalaia, in the Salinas, province of Para, in
the empire of Brazil, and that the said light-house was
intended to be in operation on and after the 15111 of
February last.
(Signed) J. M. BRAGA, Vice•Consnl,
Acting-Consul-General.
Capt. G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's.
Particulars of the light-house recently erected on the
Puna da Atalaia, in the Salinas, province of Pars,
empire of Brazil, lat. 34 S., long. 33 32 of the meridian
of the Ilha do Ferro:—The light is visible at 17 miles
distance, is varied, and presents the following phases:—
Bright white light during 70 seconds—Eclipse of ob-
scurity during 16 ditto—lncreasing and brilliant light
gradually diminishing until it disappears, 12 ditto—
Another eclipse, 22 ditto: total, 120. The phases suc-
ceed each other at intervals of two minutes.

" MUDDLE." Any real endeavour to defeat
" muddle" (expressive and distressing dissyllable) has our
heartiest good wishes. Against muddle—the muddle of
ignorance, the muddle of idleness, the muddle of want of
order, the love-destroying and comfort-killing "muddle of
inexorable cleanliness,' against muddle in the drawing-
room, the studio, or the workshop—we wage war eternal
and unsparing. Unhappy victims of muddle, who shall re-
count your miseries or obtain you redress? Muddle cannot
get for five pounds what Order, Judgment, and Energy can
get for one: muddle makes fortune of little avail, and takes
the shine out of a life which might otherwise be all bright-
ness. "Lucky Jones has married a wife with 300/. a year;
but then she is a sad muddle." Miserable Jones 1 do you
know what you have done? Muddle would be dear at
double the money. Muddle will provide for you no home to
rest in—no sympathising comforter to advise. In the temple
where muddle reigns there will be found no peace, no beauty,
no good. Against muddle the dower weighs not. An ob-
serving eye, a calculating head, a ready hand, a gentle step,
a loving heart, external neatness, internal purity, are more
to be considered than hundreds a year, trashy accomplish-
ments, lofty connexions, and unhealthy apings of the class
