MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the New London Price Current of March 28.)
SUGAR. —The transactions in West India on Wednesday
and Thursday last, being the only two days the market has
been open since our last report, owing to the holidays, have
been extremely moderate, both the Grocers and Refiners pur-
chasing sparingly, and prices have given way 6d. to ls. ; the
greater decline has been on the brown and ordinary soft yellow
descriptions ; the purchases have not exceethd 600 hhds. and
trs. There have been no arrivals, and we are still without any
public sale of Barbadoes ; the deliveries have been on a large
scale, and exceed those of last year. This afternoon the Mar-
ket closed, but business will be resumed to-morrow. This
stock of West India Sugar is now 10,657 hhds. and trs., being
271 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now
63,633 bags, which is 4,672 less than last year (including the
East India Dock.) The delivery of West India last week
was 1,752 hhds. and trs., which is 55 more than last year.
The delivery of Mauritius was 6,450 bags, being 1,248 more
than the corresponding week of last year (including the East
India Dock.) Average Price of Sugar 11. 14s. 4i-d. per cwt.,
and at the same time last year I/. 18s. 04d. Refined Sugars
have given way ls., and the home and export request has been
very moderate ; there is still but a scanty supply of goods at
Market, small r;arcels of Double Crushed have been taken at
365. a 365. 6d., and lumps entitled to the double bounty at
775. Treacle has been in good request at the quotations.
Bastards have met with a dull sale. Dutch Crushed Sugar is
offered at lower prices, but without finding buyers.
Matiatrirs.—The importers continuing to be anxious sellers,.
and both the grocers and refiners having purchased sparingly
have caused prices again to give way 6d. a Is. ; at a public
sale of 5,670 bags. mid. and good yellow sold at 565. to 595. 6d ,
ord. and mid. grey 525. to 575. 6d. ; no public sale is at pre-
sent advertised ; there has been an arrival of 5,600 bags.

EAST INDIA.-From the home trade there has been an ac-
tive request privately for Bengal at steady prices, and on the
part of the shippers more disposition has been evinced to do
business ; none has been brought to public sale ; large supplies
may be looked for shortly. Siam has been much wanted at
stiff prices, particularly those of strong white grain, but there
are none in the Market. The high prices for which Manilla is
held has prevented business. Of Java there is none here. A
public of 3,300 bags Manilla is announced for auction to-morrow.
FOREIGN.—The yellow and brown descriptions of Ha-
vannah, particularly the former, of strong grain, have been in
good request and rather stiffer prices have been obtained ; the
private purchases have been 600 chests, fine strong yellow at
275. 6d., and ord. and mid. soft at 255. a 265. ; besides 500
chests good yellow but soft Cuba at 245. 6d., for the white de-
scriptions little demand has existed, but there being few at
Market the holders ask full prices. For Brazil there has been
much enquiry, particularly for strong whites at fully the prices
quoted, but there being few in the Market the transactions
have been trivial ; 500 chests and barrels Brazil and 1,300
boxes yellow Hcvannah are advertised for public sale on Friday.

\Vest India and till prices are the same as last week. 130

for home use for the week eliding March the 25th amount to

and the business done in Leewards has been confihed to 250
puncheons at 2s. 3d. a 2s. sd. for 4 to 11 per cent. over proof.

siness has been done at the quotations. The stock of Rum is
493 puns. less, but 83 hhds. more than it was last year—the
deliveries last week exceed those of the corresponding week of
last season by 183 puns. and 69 hhds.

limited scale at 425. for the last three months.

been pretty good, amounting to 6,000 casks. Bacon for con-
sumption has been taken very sparingly at the prices quoted.
In Lard a steady business has been transacted,.at former rates.
For Hams there is still little request. The transactions in India
Provisions have been unimportant.

On Sunday morning a middle-aged man of the name
of Richardson, residing in Bond-court, Walbrook, coachman
to Alderman Atkins, suddenly expired while in conversation
with his wife. The unfortunate man had just returned from
church, and observing to his partner that it was very cold she
saw him change countenance and turn ghastly white, and be-
fore she could speak he fell. Medical aid was promptly called,
but all attempts to restore animation were in vain—the vital
spark had fled.

It was on Tuesday (instead of Saturday) last, that
the violent and nearly fatal attack was made on Mr. Vance of
Sackville-street, by a lunatic gentleman named Broadlcy.
There is a mere possibility of the recovery of Mr. Vance, but
at present the favourable chances are but few; this well known
and much respected physician has been greatly reduced i t
health and strength since the death of his son, two years since,
occasioned by a fall from his horse.
It is said that one of the witnesses in the late trial
" De Roe v. Cumming," is about to publish a more ample
detail of facts connected with that extraordinary case than ho
had an opportunity of stating in Court.

A kind of newspaper —war has grown up between
the governments of Russia and Prussia. The Hamburg
Correspondenten, an organ of the Czar, after reciting all /10
benefits conferred upon Prussia by the Muscovites, charges dm'
former state with neglecting to co-operate in the oppression of
Poland. This is a charge of which the Court of Berlin need
not be ashamed.

Our readers will recollect that during a storm in
last December the Isabella, of Killough, was strand..d in the
neighbourhood of Cogher-head, when the lives of the crew
were providentially preserved through the exertions of Mr.
Thompson, of the coast guard, and the party under his com-
mand, who at a very considerable personal risk, succeeded in
rescuing the unfortunate men from their perilous situation
after they had been several hours in the shrouds. We have
great pleasure in stating that the Shipwreck Institution have
rewarded this gallant conduct by presenting Mr. Thompson
with a silver medal, and nine pounds to be distributed amongst
h's men. Mr. Thompson, a few years back, saved the crew
of the Raven, which was stranded on the North Bull, and for
which he was also presented with a medal by the same Insti-
tution. This gentleman has, upon various occasions, been
most successful in preserving human life, and has never hesi-
tated to risk his own safety when he witnessed his fellow-crea-
tures in peril. We understand that as many as 23 persona
owe the preservation of their lives to his gallantry.
On Sunday night, a woman, named Jane Red-
grove, living in lien and Chicken-lane, Waluortb, was burnt ,
t-) death while in a state of intoxication, in a room which she
and her husband occupied. On the above night the husband
of the deceased went home drunk, and on entering the room
lie stumbled over something in the middle of the floor, from
which a dente and suffocating smoke arose. On procuring a
light, which he did after some difficulty, owing to the state of
drunkenness in which he was at the time, he found that it was
his wife, and whose body presented a dreadful sight, the
whole of her clothes being burnt to tinder, and her own per-
son, from her legs upward, being scorched in such a manner
by the fire, that it was impossible to discern a feature in her
face. It appeared that the unfortunate woman had gone home
drank on the night in question, and by accident set fire to her
own c'cthes, and that the circumstance was not known to the
ether lodgers in the house until her husband came home in the
state described, and gave the alarm.
The Neapolitan journals state that a young French-
man had thrown himself into the crater of Mount Vesuvius,
in consequence of a female dancer of the Theatre San Carlos
having turned a deaf ear to the passion with which she had
inspired him.
