MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of De c. 20.)
.SUGAR.—There has been more life in the British Plan-
tation market this week, than has been the case for some
time; this is probably on account of next and part of
the following week being a holiday. For refining pur-
poses a fair demand has prevailed, and we advance our
quotations 6d per cwt. Berbice, very low dark grey-
ish brown has been d;sposed of at 555, rather better
56s to 573 ; Jamaica, good strong brown 583 6d, good
middling yellow 62s 6d, fine middling with a good deal of
colour 675; Antigua fine not strong 675; Grenada, low
middling yellow 59s 6d ; Tobago, middling to good mid-
dling 60s to 61s per cwt. Barbadoes good to fine fetched
67s to 68s 6d, middling to good middling 65s to 66s 6d,
one lot low middling 64s per cwt.
This afternoon the merchants requiring higher prices
checked bnsiness, still there was a good business doing,
and prices is higher than on Friday last. 118 hhds Bar-
badoes at auction sold briskly at previous rates, good to
fine fetched 67s a 6ds 6d, iow mid and good mid 64s a
665 Gd per cwt.

REF INED. —There has been no improvement in the de.
mand for Refined goods for home consumption, and the
refiners have accepted 76s to 76s 3d for standard lumps.
Bastards of good ouality at ptenious rates, common kinds
are offered at easier prices. For Treacle of common
quality 31s to 31s 3d per cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar
at 34s to 34s 3d per cwt. Bastards at 18s 6d for good

111AualTit:s.—Brown and low yellow descriptions have
commandod previous rates for middling, good and fine
yellow qualities, importers have obtained an advance of
6d per cwt ; fine and fine fine yellow at 67s to 67s 6d,
good 66s to 66s 6d, good middling 64s to 655, low yellow
but bright 60s to 61s, middling brown 54s 6d.
EAST INDlA.—Middling and good white descriptions of
Bengal with colour ; buyers have been compelled to pay
rifler rates for small parcels. Brown sorts at public sale
fetched for the bulk 46s 6d to 48s 6d for very low heavy
dabs ; washed sold at 45s to 47s per cwt. Manilla at 19s
di to 20s for middling brown, and 21s 6d per cwt for low
yellow. Java 22s 6d to 23s 6d for low to good strong
greyish yellow.

FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah at 26s for good, and 23s
6d for low quality ; 21 chests very soft Bahia at auction,
were taken in at 21s 6d to 23s for low and middling greyish
white. Old Pernambuco at 20s to 24s for low damp grey
to middling white; and 30 chests Babia at 21s for fine
brown.

COFFRE.—Prices continue to improve for all clean qua-
lities of British Plantation, and they must be quoted at
4; 6d to 2s higher this week. Jamaica of good ord qua-
lity has fetched 1103 a 1225, fine and fine fine ord 1115 s
a 130 s, mid and goood mid 124 s a 130 s ; fine and

73s a 84q, and fine old at 945 a 100 s per cwt. Mocha in
small parcels have fetched 104 s for common green.
This afternoon there was little inclination to buy Rio at
a public sale of 3,167 bags, the whole of which was taken in
at fair market rates, viz., 45s to 47s 6d for low and good
ord, excepting about 250 bags, which were sold at 455 to
47s Der cwt.

I Rt st,BRANDY, AND HOLLAND3.—The market continues
CJ
Vt ry quit for Rum, but the merchants arc not inclined to
accept lower prices. The purchases in Jamaica and Lee.
wards have not exceeded 100 puns at former rates ; 700
puns have arrived. Geneva sells steadily at previous
prices. In Brandy scarcely anything has been done for
export, but a fair demand has prevailed for home use.
British Corn Spirits sell steadily.

tained previous rates ; Bengal refraction 111 to 81 per
cent. fetched 23s 6d 5,}- ditto 24s ; Calcutta 51 per cent

good grey 3 per cent refraction at 25s 6d to 265.
TeX.—The market has been in a dull state for several
days past, the trade not being inclined to purchase
more than sufficient for their immediate neeesi-
fe;, and the small parcels disposed of have been
at rather lower rates ; common Free Trade Congou has
been disposed of at 2s 4,:id to 2s 5d ; Twankay 2s 7d to
2s 71d ; Canton 11Thea at the is 6d duty 2s 2d, some of
the merchants are not disposed to sell at these rates. For
Company's Congou for cash 2s 3d has been accepted : the
general opinion is that the market will continue in its
present state until accounts are received from Canton.

This afternoon there was very little business doing in
any kind of Tea, and common Free Trade Congou has
been sold at 2s 4d, and inferior at 2s 35,:1; Twankay com-
mon 29 51d for cash, 2s id with a prompt.

im...org within (id to h or these rates.
Tr.llow prices have undergone
scarcely any variation, hue P. Y.C. having sold currently

at 49s to 49s 3d on the spot, and at 48s 9d to 49s for deli-
very in the early part of next year. For the last three
months of 1840 some sales have been made at 47s 3d per
cwt. Town Tallow in fair request.

fetching 31d White at 9d to lOid for good mid-
dling. Nutmegs at 3s 7d to 3s 8d for ord first quality ;

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last evening Der Frcyschutz was repeated at this
theatre. Miss Delcy having overcome her nervousness,
was enabled to do her powers full justice, and she
made a better Agatha than we have ever yet seen.
Mr. Hammond has been fortunate in securing the
cervices of this young lady, who is now the prima donna
of the English stage. He has also secured Phillips,
who appeared in his old character of Caspar—this was
the character which first made H. Phillips—he still
plays as well as sings his part with all his original
dare-devil energy. Frazer, as Rudolf, sang very sweetly,
and has added to his already well-earned fame by his
performance of this very arduous character. With such
a company, if Hammond makes opera a principal fea-
ture, he must eventually succeed. The piece is got up
in very good style, and cannot fail to draw. The house
was very well filled before the rising of the curtain,
which we were much rejoiced to perceive, as Hammond
deserves a larger share of public patronage than he has
hitherto enjoyed. The little piece of Monsieur Mallett
followed, in which Hackett delineated the Frenchman
in admirable style. The performances concluded with
the divertissement of La Foire de Naples, for the
purpose of introducing as candidates for public
favour the Chiavri family. This family consists
of five persons, the elder ones grown up, and the
youngest not apparently exceeding six years of age ;
they gave lc pas de coco, a negro cocoa-nut dance,
which is one of the most comic affairs of the sort we
have witnessed for a long time. The audience testified
their delight by vociferous applause and continued roars
of laughter, and at the conclusion they were unani-
mously called on to repeat it.

SACRED iiAItiVIONIC SOCIETY

NEW GRAND ORGAN.

Mr. Walker, of Frances-street, Tottenham-court-
road, has just completed a magnificent organ for the use
of this Society in their concerts, and yesterday a number
of artists and members of the Society, were invited to at-
tend a private performance previous to its removal to
Exeter Hall. The place in which the organ was built was
fitted up for the occasion, and as the space was
very confined it is hardly necessary to say that
neither the organ nor its maker had fair play.
The low notes were too powerful, so much so that they
produced an effect on the body like rolling thunder, and
the higher and sharper notes were not mellowed by
distance and by a wide extent of space, for which such
an instrument is intended. As it was, however, the
effect was beautiful. Mr. Adams performed a number
of overtures, choruses, and extempore pieces,
chiefly for the purpose of exhibiting the vast
powers of the instrument, and he succeeded perfectly.
The air, " Hush, ye pretty warbling choir,"
and the chorus, " When his loud voice,'' both by Handel,
formed a striking contrast, and left no doubt that it is
almost as much adapted for the gentler and more playful
strains, as for that sort of solemn music more peculiar
to the organ. The performance seemed to give great
satisfaction, but it would be premature to decide on the
merits of the instrument till tried in the place for which
it is intended in Exeter Hall, where we understand it
will be erected in the course of next month. It is the
largest in London, and next in size to those of York
and Birmingham. It has two double diapasons,
one of wood, the other of metal, and a Posanne double
trumpet, sixteen feet high each—has cost from 1,8001.
to 2,0001., and cannot fail to add greatly to the effect of
the Exeter Hall Concerts, now become so justly popular.

The
.Queen's marriage will be forwarded with
every possible expedition ; and so will the Penny-
postage. 'We suggest that they take place on the same
day.—Cheltenham Examiner.

It is confidently stated, that in the event of a
dissolution of Parliament, Mr. W. Tooke, late M.P.
for Truro, will be invited to come forward as a candi-
date to represent the borough of Finsbury on the inde-
pendent interest.

DREADFUL MANSLAUGHTER.--An inquest
has been held on the body of Mr. Drage, who was
accidentally shot by Mr. Western, a pupil of Mr.
Jackson, land-surveyor of March, and a verdict of
manslaughter returned against Mr. Western. It has
been inaccurately reported that Western was a nephew
of Lord Western's. That Nobleman had only one
brother, who died several years since unmarried.—
Cambridge Advertiser.

We understand that the elephant exhibited in
this place last week killed an individual on Sunday at
Low's tavern, about 12 miles distant hence. The ele-
phant was fastened iikihe neighbourhood of the house,
where some foolish pi rions undertook to amuse them-
selves at the expeue Of the sagacious anirijial. His
keeper, knowing the *Tiger of such a proceing, re-
moved him to a retire spot about one-fourth-af a mile
off, and chained him to a tree. The same heedless and
reckless individuals followed him there, when one of
them was taken up-lot the elephant in his trunk and
thrown several rods.,: Another then advanced to within
reach of the enraged' d insulted beast, when he was
seized and thrown in a similar manner, his body pierced
through with the enormous tusk of the elephant, which
caused the immediate death of the unfortunate man.—
Port Deposit Rock.

PERILOUS SITUATION.-About ten days ago,
a party of fishermen, who earn a varying subsistence by
harvesting fins from the Solway, nearly the whole year
round, were placed in a highly perilous predicament.
At Caerlaverock, and further round the shore, it has
been the practice for some time to fish cod and skate by
set lines ; and hence one source of the supplies of fish
which, during the proper season, find their way, twice
aweek to the Dumfries market. When bent on these
expeditions, the friendly piscators generally take pan-
niered donkeys along with them, and sometimes one or
more light carts—that is when the hawl, from the state
of the winds and tides, is expected to be large. The
fishing ground lies as near as may be five miles to the
south of the old castle ; and, generally speaking, our
hardy brethren find little difficulty, soft as the sand may
sometimes be, whether in going or returning. But when
fogs occur the danger is imminent. The beds of the
Esk and Eden may be more open to the action of south-
westers than the bed of the Nith, but neither is to be
trusted in certain seasons, and hence the well-known
saying :

"Love flows like the Solway, and ebbs like its tides."
The sky was pretty clear when the fishermen went forth ;
but scarcely had they drawn and re-set their lines, when
Criffel became viewless, and enshrouded every object for
miles around in his own Cimmerian gloom. For a time
the party yielded to the hope that a breeze would spring
up, and brush the fog away, and thinking it needless to
detain the laden donkeys, they adjusted the reins and
allowed them to find their way as they best could. And
it would have been very fortunate, as the event proved,
had they been induced to follow in the wake of their
burden-bearers. But they were as often deceived by
what seemed a lane in the sky as Captain Ross was by
lanes in the ice ; still as the tide was making, and might
perchance overtake them, it was necessary to return at
all hazards. The slightest reflection dictated the ne-
cessity of keeping together as closely as possible ; and
after groping their way for a considerable time, they
knew not well how or whither, one of the party came
upon a broom-cow or bush which he had accidentally
left behind in crossing a small runner, and this fortuitous
circumstance saved the lives of the party. They now
knew their bearings northward, and after further scramb-
ling got to the shore, where they found anxious friends
awaiting their arrival—friends who, in apprehension of
the consequences of further delay, had been firing not so
much guns of distress as guns to the distressed. From
these neighbours they learnt that the cuddies had re-
turned more than an hour befbre ; a proof of brute in-
strict which may furnish one useful hint for the future.—
Duntfi•ies Courier.
Woo', .--.The price of this article has reached a
very low depression in this county, having fallen about
one shilling per stone in the course of a month. Fleece
wool is now selling at Is. 3d. per lb. The depression is
awing to the failure of the American trade and the high
rate of interest demanded for money in this country.
It is thought by commercial men that wool will be yet
lower in price.—Hereford Journal.
