MARKET INT ELLI GEN CE.

( From the New London Price Current of April 25. )

St:GAL—Last week the British Plantation Market was
barely supplied with Sugar; however, the several arrivals,
consisting of Jamaicas, Antiguas, Trinidads, and Mauritius,
which will no doubt be announced immediately will meet the
demand. The sales have been confined principally to Berbice
and Trinidad, low browns sold at 515., good ditto 535. to 555.,
and coloury 58s. to 60s.

The letters received last week from Jamaica and other
islands of the West Indies, state that the crops were universally
considered short of an average one ; the effect of this intel-
ligence, together with the present limited stock had the effect
of rendering the Market firmer, and full prices were obtained ;
the sales last week comprised 500 casks.
Rather a novel parcel of Sugar was offered on Friday, con-
sisting of 2,673 loaves and 1,202 bags, partially Refined in
Lumps, and some not unlike Bastards, a sort not calculated to
be admitted into the Foreign Markets, and, of course, not ad-
missible here, the broken Lumps brought 21s. to 21s. 6d., and
the moist and pieces in bags 16s. for ord. to 20s. for good
yellow ; the parcel was lately imported from Calloa.
There was rather a better show this morning of the West
India Sugars just arrived, but the demand was moderate at
former prices ; the smallness of the stock will very likely
enable the importers to keep up the prices ; we quote coloury
Jamaica 595. to 605., good coloury Grenada 615., bright An-
firma 61s. to 635., middling Trinidad 565, tid., and low brown
Berbice 51s. per cwt. The sales of raw Sugar this day com-
prise about 350 lihds, •
The stock of West India Sugar is now 3,940 hhds. arid
trs., being 6,128 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 60,076 bags, which is 28,331 less than last year (in.
eluding the East India Dock.) The delivery of West India
last was week was 1,850 hhds. and trs., which is 523 less than
fast year. The delivery of Mauritius was 10,049 bags, bein g
1,281 more than the corresponding week of last year, includ-
ing the East India Dock, _

ecn sold at 345. to 3-I=. 6d. ; Lump to pass the standard
755. to 755. 6d.
MAURITIUS —The chief feature in the Market to-day was
two public sales, amounting to 3 368 ban-5; the first sale (852
bags) consisted of a very fair parcel, and holders took in a
part rather than submit to lower prices ; the second talc con-
tained some good quality, but in general not much to boast of,
aad the whole went off at a declin, of 61. to Is. per cwt., good
yellow 575. 61. to 603. 61, mid. 535. 6d. to 565., inferior and

brown 50s. 6d. to 533.
EAST INDIA.—Of East India Sugar the sales last week
were considerable ; they consisted of 2,100 bags Bengal Sugar
in bond, which sol.•l Is. 6d. lower, mid, white soft and damp

the quality, which was mealy and without strength, prices were
fully supported. A floating cargo of Bahia was sold at 19*.
for brown, and 30s. per cwt. for white deliverable at Ham-
burg. White Havannah inquired for, and sales made at 38s.

MOLASSES.-The total deliveries of West India Melassea
from the warehouses for home use, for the week ending April
22, were 7,979 cwt.
COFFEE.-The sales last week consisted of some few parcels
of Brazil by private treaty, at 40s. for good ord. pale quality:
the demand for other sorts of Foreign as well as East India Is
so limited, that if sales were forced, prices would decline mai
terially. Of British Plantation 45 casks were offered, hilt°
a sort which is not suited to the wants of the dealers, cense-
sequently low prices were offered, which the holders relucte
antly accepted; fine ord. foxy Jamaica 70s. to 725., ord. 455• •
to 50s. per cwt. ; 3 lots fine ord. grey Demerara sold at 799.
to 813. per cwt. ; good clean coloury qualities continue in de"
mand, and support former prices.
The Market continues very dull, and scarcely a transaction
has occurred worthy of notice; the prices are unaltered, but
in the absence of business must be considered nominal.

consumption for the week ending April 22 are 156,163 lbs. 01
East India, and 177,243 lbs. of West India.

PRESENCE OF MIND.---If you should happen f
meet with an accident at table, endeavour to preserve 1° 0
1.
composure, and do not add to the discomfort you have crelltea
by making an unnecessary fuss about it. I remember hcer,„,l
it told of a very accomplished gentleman, that when carvillkof
tough goose, he had the misfortune to send it entirely OA
the dish, and into the lap of the lady next to him ; on olio,
he very coolly looked her full in the face, and said, " Ma s
g
I will thank you for that goose." This manner of beel.
sach a mortifying accident gained him more credit ills!)
lost by his awkward carving.
