MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR.—In the early part of the week the increased defi-
ciency in the comparative stocks of British Plantation caused
the buyers to come forward and purchase very freely, particu-
larly the grocers, and the private purchases on Tuesday
amounted to fully 1,100 hhds. and trs., at 6d. a Is. advance
on previous rates, besides 120 hhds. Barbadoes at auction,
which sold with much spirit at the improvement ; fine yellow
at 665. a 675. 6d. ; good, 645. 6d. a 655. ; middling, 625. 6d.
a 635. Gd. ; since then there has bee❑ rather less business
doing, owing to the importers demanding a further udvance ;
still there has been a very fair demand for both refining and
grocery descriptions, and the advance established on the
rates of this day week is fully is. per cwt. Dry brown is
not to be purchased now under 575. a 585., low and middling
yellow 595. a 635., good 645. a 655., and fine G6s. a 695., even
at which rates several of the holders are unwilling sellers ; and
when it is considered that the stock is 14,100 hhds. and trs.
less than on the 31st October, 1836, and nearly to the same
extent when compared to the year before, and that the impor-
tation to the same period differs from last year by 8,100 casks,
but from the year 1835 to a much larger amount, and that the
consumption this year has exceeded that of last by 14,400
casks (to this added the considerable deficiency which is known
to exist in the stocks at the outports), it cannot be matter of
surprise that our market is still in a buoyant state. Sincathis
day week only 371 hhds. have arrived.

This afternoon there was more disposition evinced to pur-
chase than on the previous day, but the increasing demands of
the importers still check business ; however, there was an
improved request, and a very good business done in grocery
and refining descriptions, and rather higher prices were ob-
tained, making the advance on the rates of this day week
Is. 6d. per cwt., sales of strong brown St. Vinccnts at 60s.
The purchases for the week have been 2,900 hhds. and trs.
120 hhds. Barbadoes are advertized for auction next Tuesday.
In the Refined Sugar Market much activity has prevailed
this week, and prices of all descriptions have improved Is. per
cwt. ; goods continue exceedingly scarce, particularly those
passing the standard ; the grocers have purchased with much
eagerness of both ord arid good descriptions, paying 765. for
Lumps passing, and 775. for those rather under the standard;
from the shippers the enquiries have been considerable, but the
scanty supply of goods ready for immediate delivery has much
checked the demand ; sales of double Crushed made at 365.,
at which it is now difficult to purchase, 365. 64. being gene-
rally demanded. Treacle continues to sell readily at fully
previous rates. Bastards and Pieces have been in active de-
mand at fully former prices. For Dutch Crushed Sugar a
further advance is required, and 335. 6d. must now be paid to
purchase.

• MArlamus.—There has been a considerable improvement
in the demand, and the transactions have been very extensive,
particularly in the good grocery descriptions; the buyers have
purchased freely by private contract, paying an advance on the
rates established at the last public sale of Is. to Is. 6d., and
at which rise 8,557 bags at auction, imported in May last year,
and chiefly of good bright qualities suitable for the scale, were
all disposed of with much avidity, low brown at 525., good
brown 575. 63., fine 60s. 6J., mid. yellow 61s. 63., good mid.
625. 6d. to 635., good to fine 645. 6d. to 655. 6d , very fine
675. to 685., and superior white 695. 6d., good grey 645. ; the
stock is now 16,700 bags greater than it was last year; the im-
portation this season has exceeded that of 1836 by 24,000
bags ; no arrivals since last week.

EAST INDIA.—For Bengal an advance of Is has been ob-
tained, and privately there has been a good demand for linnic
consumption, but for shipping there are still no orders : 01
bags at public sale duty paid went at 63a. for low white, 665.
to 675. 6d. for mid., and 70s. for fine with strength ; the im-
portatiosn this year exceeds that of last by 25,800 bags, but
there is a deficiency in the stock, when compared with that of
1830, of 6,700 bags ; in Manilla there has been nothing doing,
the present small stock being held above its value; and for
Siam rather higher prices being demanded, business has been
prevented. This afternoon 517 bags Manilla and 180 casks
Siam were offered at auction, which went at very stiff prices,
the former fine brown at I9s. Gd., and the latter at 12s. 6d. to
Isi. for very ord. soft dabs.
FoaEloN.—There are very few orders, the transactions are
only 200 boxes yellow Havannah at 275. a 28s. for good and
line, and a floating cargo of 670 boxes good for. Antwerp at
235. ; for white there is no demand for Russia, the shipping
season being at end, but the stock here being small, fully
framer rates are demanded ; Brazil of all kinds being scarce
ai.e held firmly for tha rates previously establithed ; 100 chests
and 500 barrels are announced for auction on Tuesday next ;
the stock of all descriptions under this denomination is greatly
under that of last year; from the Brazils a half less has been
received this year than last, but of Havannah the imports ex-
ceed those of last season by 3,000 boxes.
This afternoon at auction 376 boxes white, and 43 boxes
yellow Havannah, all damaged, were offered, and went at full
prices, the former at 325. to 365. for low and good, and the
latter at 255. to 265. for good quality.
MOLASSES.—AII that have been offered for sale of West
India, amounting to 300 puns. Demerara and 100 puns. St.
Kitt's, have been eagerly taken at fully previous rates, the
torrner at 345. 63. a 355. for fine, the latter at 345. for good
quality ; there are further buyers at these prices, but at pre-
sent there is none on the market ; some. arrivals are shortly
expected. _ _ _

Rugg.-Of Jamaica the sales are only one hundred pun-
cheons at unvaried prices; thirty per cent. over proof
at 4s. to 4s. 2d., 31 to 35 over 41. 3d. to 4s. sd.
and in Leewards the transactions have been only 150 puns. at
fully previous prices, 5 to 7 pe" cent. over p. oof at 2s. 64.:0
2s. 7d.., 8 to 10 over 23. 8.. t. to 2s. 9d., 30 to 34 over 3s. Bd.
to 3s. 10c1., and 100 puns. Bahia 19 under proof at Is. 9d.
COFFEE.-The demand for British Plantation has much
increased, particularly for the ord. descriptions, the stocks in
second hands being light having compelled the town grocers
to come forward and purchase freely ; the orders from the
country have also been pretty numerous, and an advance on last
week's prices of 3s. to 4s. has been established for ord., and
Is. Gd. to 2s. for good qualities, at which improvement the pub-
lic sales, consisting of 218 casks 15 bris., were all disposed of with
much avidity ; Jamaica fine mid. at 1195., good mid. 1 1 ls. to
Ills. 6d., low mid. and mid. 995. to 1045., (rood to fine fine ord.
755. to 96.3. ; B2rbice low mid. 965. to 985., fine ord. 80s. to 85s. ;
for auction on Wednesday next 113 casks 11 brls. are adver-
tised ; the stock is now nearly on a par with that of last year ;
the arrivals have been 300 barrels and bags less, and the de-
liveries for consumption are much tho same as in 1836 to this
period. The East India descriptions with certificate have
participated in the briskness with British Plantation, and the
demand from the grocers privately for Ceylon has been ex-
tensive, chiefly for the low ord. descriptions, and an advance
on previous prices of Bs. to 4s. has been readily obtained ; 68s.
has been paid for qualities which were worth 645. only a fort-
night back, and 675. has been refused for a pile which on the
24th ult. was disposed of at 635. Gd ; sales of fair and good
ordinary have been made at 70s. to 725. ; there have been
no public sales, and only one hundred and fifty-three bags are
advertised ; 1,9C0 bags have arrived this week ; the importation
this year has exceeded that of last by 16,500 bags; for home
consumption 12,000 bags more have been taken than in 1836,
but there is a falling off in the delivery for export of 6,200
bags, and the stock is 6,800 bags greater than it was at the
corresponding period of 1836 ; the ord. descriptions of Mocha
have been in improved demand for home consumption, and
2,046 small baskets at auction went with spirit full 4s. to ss.
above the recent transactions for similar quality, ord. poddy
ungarbled selling at 60s. 6d. to 655. ; the import and stock
are one half less than they were last year at this period, but
the deliveries are 5,400 bales less than in 1836 • the enquiry
for export has been confined to Sumatra, of which there is
none at market ; Ceylon and Semarang are held for fully
previous rates; the stock is very light, and the impor-
tation falls far short of that of last year. The demand
for the ord. qualities of Foreign has again been very mo-
derate, but there is no disposition evinced on the part of
holders to submit to lower prices ; the coloury qualities of St.
Domingo and Brazil have been much inquired after, but the
supply being very moderate, transactions to any extent have
been prevented, and only a few small parcels of the former
have been disposed of at 41s. to 41s. 61 for good ord.
coloury ; the importation this year is 560 bags, &c. under that
of last, and the stock is rather less than it was at this period
in 1836 ; the deliveries have fallen off 14,500 bags.
This afternoon there were no public sales of any kind; pri-
vately there was a very steady business doing in British Plan-
tation and Ceylon at fully the rates previously established, at
which in some instances there are no sellers.

Cocoa.-There has been an increased disposition evinced
to purchase British Plantation, and a very good business has
been transacted at a further improvement in prices of 35. to
4s. ; 252 bags Trinidad at auction sold with much animation,
fair and good grey at 45s to 503. 6d. ; for public sale on Wed-
nesday 190 barrels are advertised. Of Foreign there is still
no supply.
COTTON. -The market for East India has again been very
inactive, both shippers and the home consumers continuing to
purchase with much reluctance, but under last week's prices
there are not sellers, and in some instances stiffer rates are de.
manded ; the accounts from Liverpool being of a very favour-
able character causes holders here to have more confidence in
the article : the purchases since last Friday have been only
900 bales Surat aid. a 4d., 220 Madras 4id.
Ott.s.-The market for the common descriptions of Fish
Oils has been very uninteresting Cod and Pale Seal at 49/.
to 501., and Southern at 38/. to 41/. as to quality. In Sperm
the transactions have been very trivial. Linseed is held firmly
at 303. per cwt. Rape has not supported previous rates ; Pale
at 40s. 6d., and Brown at 395. 6d. Olive and Palm are held
for the rates previously established.
SALTPETRE. -The rates for Rough have not been'supported
by 6d. per cwt. ; Calcutta refraction 124- at 235. 6d. to 245.,
8 245. to 245. 6d., 7to 61 good dry white 245. 6d. to 255. ;
British Refined has been taken freely at 295. 6d. in Mids., and
30s. in barrels. This afternoon there was a better demand ;
Calcutta at auction went readily at the rates previously esta-
blished, refraction 5.1 a 31, 255. 6d. a 265. 6d.
TALLOW.-Prices have improved 9d. to ls. for Petersburgh
Yellow Candle; for home consumption orders at 41s. for first
quality. Since this day week 10,000 casks have changed
hands at 40s. 9d. to 415., and there are now no sellers but at
the latter price.
Tsa.-The transactions privately have been vary extensive
at profits on sales prices of 2d. per lb.
COCHINEAL -went at 64. to 6s. 4d. for low to mid, silvers,
being Id. to 2d. per lb. below the rates of last sale.
INoloo.-Prices continue very firm, and the few chests
which have chinked hands has been at fully sales price for
the general runs, and 2d. to 3d. per lb. profit for picked lots.
Rict.-Prices have improved 6d. per cwt. ; sales made at
12s. 6d. for middling Bengal, Middling yellowish white lls.
Gd. to 125., good white 12g. 6d. to 135.,. fine 131. 6d. ; pri-
;ate sales of fine white Java made at 12;. ; Carolina at 30r.
to 325. ; for shipping, 21s. Gd. has been obtained for some
small parcels.

Charles Pair, who was yesterday sentencezl to
be transported for life for uttering a gilt sixpence for a
half-sovereign, when taken back to his cell contrived?
swallow a quantity of laudanum. His intention was
ma
dis-
covered, and by the prompt application of the stoch,
pump his life was saved. A packet of arsenic wasfen°
in his pocket. Tile convict, when sentenced, strongly pro-
tested his innocence ; and his wife, who was in Court,
fainted when the sentence was passed.
Cowper, the poet, was vehemently opposeA ~ to
bal-
looning, believing it to be a sinful attempt to rival the
Deity. " Were I," said Cowper," an absolute legislator,

the moment he could be caught ; and to bring him down
from his altitude with a bullet should be no murder.'
The barque Elvira, of Halifax, from Hatnburgb.
to Jamaica, laden with flour, butter, &c., was dismasteda
between Orkney and Shetland, on the 11th ult., by
heavy running sea, which swept the decks and washed an
the crew, with the exception of one lad overboard, and 3t
ten P.M. of the 14th she was driven on shore at Noss, to
the westward of Fitfil Head, where she very soon went
pieces ; but the only survivor of the crew was again prow
dentially saved.
GitEENocK.—This morning the hills in sight of
our town were capped with snow, and one of our gameh
shops exhibited a couple of fine looking woodcocks, Which,
on being handled, were plump and fat,
evidently none w
worse for their journey hither. These nice birds were te
be purchased for five shillings—a price, it is believed, that
e
many an epicure would gladly give, at this early period of
the season, for a single woodcock.—Glasgow Chronicle.

cases of very severe small-pox. In all these there were

AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE OF THE PRINgPRINCE
PEACE.—When Godoy was first created Prince of Pear'
some 'ears ago, he perceived with much indignation;
that the Grandees of Spain did not pay him that resPcfe
to which be thought his new rank entitled him. A cr"ltYt
Priest, who was much in his confidence, observed the %cal
of respect paid to him by the Spanish Nobility, and to ° t
notice of it to the Prince, at the same time adding, that.
his Highness was of as noble and ancient a family as anY
them, being descended from the Buchan branch of the
Stuart family. The Prince expressed no small surprise
at this, and signified his wish that the Priest could poia-
duce a proof of it. The Priest undertook the affair, au r
wrote to Lady Traquair, a Roman Catholic Peeress ct,
Scotland, requesting her to apply to Mr. Anstruther,
Spcncerfi,•ld, (now the Commissary) to make diligent search
t
in the Herald's or Lyon's Office of Scotland, for a proof 01
a marriage between the Godovs and a female of the Buchup,
family. Mr. Anstruther applied to Mr. Boswell, of the LY°tl
'
Office, and they made out a genealogical tree, in which It
appeared that there were two females of that farnilY °f
wheat it was not mentioned whether they were ever mar-
ried or not. Nir. Anstruther transmitted the genealo-
gical tree to Lady Traquair, adding that if the Priest
chose to unite either of these ladies to a Godoy, he s"r
posed he would not require a dispensation from the Pope
to establish the marriage. The inquiry cost about 361. The
Priest with these credentials was so well received by the
Prince, that he readily obtained the rank of a Grandee°r
Spain for Lady Traquair's husband .—Boulogne Journal'
On Tuesday evening, the Slit ult., an inquest was
held in the Queen's Bench Prison, before Mr. Le PiPre'
Coroner, on the body of Thomas Stone, a prisoner 10r
debt, who died there on the preceding night. From the
evidence it appeared that the deceased when brought t 0
the prison was in an enfeebled state of health. He had
copied bills to accommodate a supposed friend, without
any value received, and had induced his brother to euger
in the same security. After the bills had fallen due,
party for whose accommodation they were drawn, inste.
of fulfilling his own duty, directed the sheriff's officers whet
°
to find the deceased, when on the point of commencing
journey ,
as a commercial traveller. He was consequeut'it
arrested, and from the irritation produced by conflueol
and apprehension of the consequences to his brother, wuo
has a family dependent on him, an already enfeebled constiVi;
tion sank under an attack of fever caught in prison. P_
brother, on whose account he felt thus anxious, was also e,
rested about a week ago by the same creditor, and nowr el
mains a prisoner in the Queen's Bench. The jury returue_a
their verdict—" Died of typhus fever, his death being
celerated by distress of mind and imprisonment."
