MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of October 4 )
SUGAR—From the grocers there has been a good de-
mand this week for bright yellow descriptions, and for
which former rates have been obtained, but in brown
and low yellow qualities previous rates have been barely
supported. For refining purposes strong sorts have com-
ic ended former prices, but soft sugars have been taken
sparingly. Barloadoes, fine, fetched 68s 6d, good 66s to
675. middling 65s to 65s 6d per cwt.
This afternoon 126 hhds Barbadoes ; good fetched
66s 6d to 675, mid and good mid 64s 6d to 665, very or-
dinary 63s 6d to 645, washed and sifted 59s to 66s : 73
hhds Trinidad sold at 59s 6d to 603 6d for low greyish
yellow, which is rather cheaper.
REFINEn.—For home consumption a steady demand has
prevailed for Refined Good. Stiffer prices have in some
instances been obtained for the better descriptions, but in
the value of common kinds little variation has taken place.
Standard lumps have been sold at 80s 6d to 81s, and
brown lumps, 78s to 793 6d per cwt. Pieces have been
in improved request.
To-day there was a fair demand for the grocery trade,
and full prices are realised ; of good refined in bond for
export a few sales have been made, at 345. 3d to 34f 6d
for fine crushed, and there are more extensive buyers 3d
under that quotation. In loaves very little done.

COFFEE—The merchants have supplied the market
freely with British Plantation, and have offered 660 casks,
barrels, &c. for public competition since this day week,
580 casks, &c. consisted of Jamaica ; a good demand pre-
vailed for the home trade, and former prices ►were main-
tained.
This afternoon the biddings were languid at the public
sales of West India, which consisted of 82 casks and 34
brls, the whole of which were imported by Sugar ships, and
were in small mixed lots ; Jamaica of mid quality went at
117 a 117 s 6d, good ord 97s a 101 s, ord 84 a 88s, fine was
taken in at 137 s ; 311 bags East India were offered, com-
mon Sumatra fetched 05s ; fair, 50s ; good Batavia, 683 ;
and ordinary Ceylon, 99s 6d per cwt.
Cocoa.—The small parcels of Trinidad offered to-day
at public sale sold rather lower, good red went at 533 to
54s per cwt.

TEA.—The merchants generally ev;nce much firmness,
and have refused to sell, excepting at fully former rates,
in some instances, however, rather lower prices have sub-
mitted to, is 7id having been accepted for ordinary Con-
gou, Is l9d for low Twankay, 2s 4d to 2s 5d for common
Hyson, and for Company's Congou, Is Sid per lb.
This afternoon buyers came forward more freely, and a
fair business was transacted at prices equal to those of
last week.

TALLOW.-The demand on the spot has been limited,
and prices are rather lower, first quality selling at 49s 93.
but at this figure holders are not anxious to realize.—
Fer delivery up to the end of the year there are no
sellers under 49s Gd, but the operations have been on a
small scale ; for the threelfirst months of next year 493 9d
to 503 is asked, but at present there are not many buyers.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The market for

Rum has been very quiet since this day week ; the pur-
chases in Jamaica, as well as in Leewards, have been on a
small scale, and not worth enumerating, but in prices lit-
tle variation has occurred; common Jamaica has been sold
on easier terms. The arrivals have been on a small scale :
27 puns and 50 hbds Guadeloupe at public sale were taken
in at Is lld for 1 per cent under proof. Brandy has
s cured a fair sale, and p:ices continue firm. Geneva has
been in steady request at the rates quoted. For British
Corn Spirits there has been a good demand at the rates
quoted.

-01 Ls.—Fish Oils of common quality have been more
sought after, and a good demand has prevailed for all
kinds at the rates quoted. Southern of dark quality rather
under 241, Sperm first quality fetches 941 a 951. Linseed
Oil 24s 3d a 24s 6d. Rape at late advanced quotations.
MOLASSES.—In West India the purchases continue
limited, and we reduce our quotations 6d a Is per cwt;
180 puns have been sold, good and fine Antigua at 33s 6d
a 345, supecior 34a 6d, middling Trinidad 383, and Nevis
31s 6d per cwt.

Sricis.—Black Pepper has been sought after chiefly for
the Mediterranean, Sumatra principally of fair quality, but
the stiff prices asked have restricted business.
This afternoon 4,158 bags of East India Ginger was
offered at public sale, and anly partly sold at reduced
rates ; mid Bengal rather shrivelled went at 14s 6d to
15s, very crd Malaba 13s 6d, good bold Bengal was taken
in at ISs, and superior Malabar at 35s ; 653 bags Su.
matra Pepper sold at 34d to 3-d for fair quality, being
full prices ; 120 boxes Cassia Lignea brought 63s 6d to
tit to 66s for mid to good quality, beiug its full value.
SALTPETRE—In Rough 11 per cent refraction of very
good quality fetched 245, and 8 per cent good fair 23s to
23s 6d per cwt ; English Refined has supported previous
rates.

This afternoon, 614 bags Calcutta at auction brought
previous rates ; good white but damp 41 per cent refrac-
tion went at 255, good dry grey 31- per cent 25s 6d.

DR. JENNER AND ROIVLA ND HlLL.—Row-
and Hill, the once eminent preacher, ably defended Dr.
Jenner's discovery against its opponents. " This," he
said, is the very thing for me ;" and wherever he went
to preach, he announced after his sermon, " I am ready
to vaccinate to-morrow morning, as many children as
you choose ; and if you wish them to escape that horrid
disease the small-pox, you will bring them." Once a-
week he inoculated the children who were brought to
him from Wottou and the neighbourhood ; and it is well
known that one of the most effective boards in London
was established, and still continues in operation, at Sur-
rey Chapel. Mr. Hill once introduced Jenner to a
Nobleman, in these terms :—Allow me to present to
your Lordship my friend Jenner, who has been the
means of saving more lives than any other man." " Ah !"
said Jenner, " would that, like you, I could say sou/s."—
Physic and Physicians.
THE ROYAL NAVY.—PORTSMOUTH.—The
battalion of Royal marines serving on shore in Spain are
ordered to prepare to return to England ; Colonel Aslett,
second in command, will go to Plymouth, being appointed
to that division. The Blenheim, 72, Capt. Sir N. Sen-
house, and Belleisle, 72, Capt. Nico;as, have been de-
spatched from Plymouth to Lisbon, where they will re-
main pro tent., and bo followed shortly by the Revenge,
Captain Waldegrave, from Cork, as soon as she has
completed her complement of men. The Imogene, 26,
Captain Bruce, is daily looked for from Brazils, with a
large freight of dollars on merchants' account. Com-
mander Thomas Ogle, promoted to Captain, from the
President frigate, is expected home in the Imogene.
She has nearly 2,000,000 of dollars on board.
The number of passengers, of the better class,
proceeding to the United States is unprecedentedly
great. Notwithstanding the numbers carried out by
the steam-ships, the sailing vessels get a fair share.
The packet-ship, Independence, which sailed yesterday,
was quite full, Captain Nye having had more applica-
tions for berths than he could accommodate. The
London packet, the Toronto, was also full to overflow-
ing. The packet-ship Virginian, Captain Harris, which
Kill sail to-morrow, has, we hear, a good number of
berths engaged.—Liverpool Albion.
We are happy to state that a Reform Associa-
tion has been established in the borough of Hertford,
and that a considerable number of electors have already
enrolled their names as members. The object is to
promote the cause of Reform, and to establish a system
of co-operation amongst all classes of Reformers, and we
think no sincere Reformer can hesitate to give such a
Society his support.—Herts Mercury.
A CURE FOR " DELIRIUM TREMENS."—In
the course of an inquest held on Tuesday before Mr.
Wakley, at the Marylebone Infirmary, on the body of
a man named Anthony, the bell-toiler at Christ Church,
who died of " delirium tremens," the Coroner remarked
upon the various opinions relative to the treatment of
that extraordinary disease. In the opinion of several
medical men of eminence, the stimuli practice was con-
sidered most efficient ; others, on the contrary, were in
favour of the sedative ; and as he understood from the
surgeon under examination, the practice was in that in-
firmary at times to combine both. He (the Coroner)
knew an extraordinary instance of the beneficial results
of the latter practice. A man, as in the present case,
was conveyed to one of the metropolitan workhouses,
labouring under a most frightful and violent attack of
" delirium tremens." His friends not liking the place,
in a short time after decided upon having the patient
removed to Dr. Warburton's madhouse at Hackney,
and took a hackney-coach to the door of the workhouse
for that purpose. The medical man at the workhouse
finding it was a violent case, thought he would apply
remedies equal to it, and gave the patient on his ad-
mission a combination of opium, gin, and porter, which
had so great an effect upon his system, that before an
hour had elapsed, and whilst on his journey in the coach
to Dr. Warburton's, the patient became entirely con-
valescent, and was conveyed to his home perfectly
cured ; whereas, if he had got within the walls of a
madhouse, and placed under rigid restraint, the proba-
bility was that he would have been a corpse in a very
few days.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Monday evening
an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, at the Benchers'
Chambers, Gray's Inn, on the body of Mr. J. V. Moore,
late a clerk in the firm of Martinez, Jones, and Co., Mark-
lane. It appeared that deceased lately threw up his
situation, assigning as his sole reason that he considered
himself too highly remunerated for the services he ren-
dered ; that since that time his conduct had been very
flighty, and on Friday last he complained of depression
of spirits. He lodged at No. 1, Verulam-buildings, and
on Saturday night did not return to his lodgings, On
Sunday, between two and three in the afternoon, he re-
turned, and entered his sitting-room, in which were his
brother and another gentleman (the principal witness).
He held a pistol in his right hand, which he flourished
and pointed at the gentleman, exclaiming, " This is
pretty barker." The gentleman said, " Yes, is it
loaded ? " He said, " No, only capped," and immedi-
ately turned the muzzle of the weapon and discharged
it into the right side of his throat. He fell, and when
medical aid arrived, in about five minutes after the act
was committed, he was pronounced to be dead. A letter
was read, written by deceased, in which he stated he
was about "starting on his last cruise on his own account,"
and added that he was sick of life, and determined to
destroy himself. The letter contained au enclosure of
151. due to the party to whom it was addressed. Ver-
dict—Temporary Insanity,
In working a limestone quarry at Rock, near
Alnwick, a stone was discovered, bearing urn it all
the marks of a petrified nest of snakest
