MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London Price Current of Tuesday.)
SuGa R.—The demand for Muscovades continued general
last week, and taking into calculation the small show of
Sugars in the market, the purchases were extensive, they
were nearly 4,000 hhds. and tic ; the prices of strong and
coloury Sugars were about Is. higher, the other qualities
were unvaried. The stock of Sugar is: nearly the same
as last year; the weekly deliveries are increasing, being
3,294 hhds. last week, 392 hhds. and trs. more than on
the corresponding week of last year. At the close of the
Market the estimated sales this day were 1,100 hhde. and
ire., including the public sale of St. Lucia, which went off
at full prices. In refined goods the purchases last week
were chiefly the line and patent for the home consumption
of the country ; the prices were is. a 2s. higher ; in the
middling qualities there was no alteration ; the low goods
sold at a small reduction. Molasses were dull at a small
decline. In the Refined Market there is little alteration
this afternoon.

FOREIGN Suoans.—The only sales were small parcels
of the late public sale, which were disposed of; middling
white Havannah 445. ; yellow, 235. 6d. a 28s.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—About I b,OOO bags are declared
for 3d proximo, which it is believed is the whole of the
unsold Sugars left in the warehouses.
SUGAR DUTIES. —The interview between Ministers and
the West India Planters on Saturday was unfavourable as
to the reduction of duty on sugar, &c. The Duke of Wel-
lington held out not the slightest hopes that any duties on
import would be taken off, or that Ministers could relieve
them in any manner whatever.
COSFEE.—The Coffee Market was rather heavy last
week, and the prices of Foreign and East India were a
shade lower; Sumatra, 275. 6d. a 285., low good ordinary
St. Domingo 31s. The parcels of Jamaica and Berbice
suitable for the home consumption of the country went off
at full prices. There were no public or private sales of
Coffee this day; the market is steady.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND% —The Rum Market
remained very firm last week, but the purchases were in-
considerable, as the buyers refused to accede to the ad-
vanced prices. Brandy and Geneva were neglected.
HEMP, Frtx, AND TALLOW. —The Tallow Market
has been heavy and declining, the prices are 6d. to Is. per
cwt. lower; Flax is without variation ; Hemp at a small
decline.

Corrox.-TLe Cotton Market, towards the close of
lascweek, advanced d. to 4d. per lb. on account of the
favourable reports from Liverpool and Manchester. The
purchases for the week ending last night inclusive consist
of 2,800 Surat 3i-d. a 54d. and 70 Egyptian 6FI.

in Butter except the best Carlow, which is rather higher.
Bacon is rather lower.
FRUIT.-There are few purchases of Fruit, the market
is dull on account of the stoppage of the inland navigation,
and the late arrivals of Fruit in the Channel. This day's

TEA.—The T¢a Maiket is firm; there is more inquiry
for Congous.

INDlCio.—This day the East India sale commenced at
the India House ; it consisted of 5,663 chests, of which
about 269 chests were withdrawn. Previous to the eom-

meneement of the sale, some discussion took place respect.
ing the January sales of Indigo being discontinued; we •
have formerly alluded in'tfie propriety of the East India' -
Company giving way to the unanimous with of both.
Layers and sellers; they again stated their wish, mention...
ing the dull season of the year, and the impossibility of in-
specting the quality of the Indigo, on account of the dark
weather, and the danger to lives in continuing in'the ware-
Liuses during the inclement season. The question that •
t!“! January sale should be discontinued, and one in March
substituted, was carried unanimously, and the Chairman
stated he would represent the strong remonstrance of all ,
t::e trade to the immediate attention of the Board of Di- ,
rectors : 559 chests Bengal have passed the sale this day;
an advance is fully established of 3d. on the mid. and ord.
qualities, and 3d. a 6d. on the good and decided marks,
fi:r which there has been great competition; the range of
the prices Si. 4d. a 7s. per lb. The sale goes off with
much briskness, and was better attended than usual.
SPICES.—The Cinnamon of the late sale bears a pre-
mium of 3d. to 6d. per lb. Pepper continues inquired '
after, and is held with much firmness. The late reduction
in Pimento has occasioned an extensive trade, mid. sid.,
good sid. a 6d.

TRADE.—The tailors in this city are suffer-
ing their full share of the general distress, which pervades
the country. There are at present from SOO to 350 un-
fortunate journeymen tailors unemployed in this
Scotsman.

From an 'authentic return of the slave popu-
lation of tho colony of Demerara and Essequibo, made on
the 31st May, 1829, it appears that up to that period, the
number of slaves of bath sexes amounted to 69,368, the
females exceeding the males by about 1-sth. The mor-
tality in the colony during the three last years up to the
date above-mentioned, wait in the proportion of one in
twelve. More than 7-20ths of the slaves were under 20
years of age The average age among the slave popula-
tion is stated to be about 32k years. But the age under
which we find the greatest number of slaves in May last,
is between 40 and 50 ; it exhibits an amount of l 4,8116 of
both sexes. Of the mixed race, or of colour, 992 males
and 949 females have been returned. Independently of
the above, 126 males and 185 females have been condition.-
ally registered as belonging to the class of domestic slaves,
contemplated in the Abolition Act of his present Ma.rEsTv,
and 100 males and 154 females have been reported with-
drawn by manumission. Mauy slaves have been left, how-
ever, in a condition of reputed freedom, and others hare
purchased it themselves for their own benefit. These,
with their children, have deeds of manumission legally
executed for them by the Protector of slaves, and are in
amount considerably beyond what come to the official
knowledge of the Registrar of slaves. In the course of
the last twelve years the most considerable importations of
slaves into Demerara and Essequibo from other Colonies
took place between 1817 and 1820. They have since
greatly decreased. Of the whole amount of slaves above
specified, it appears that 26,691 are Africans, and 42,677
Creoles. It is remarkable that the number of deaths
among the slaves during the last twelve years has exceeded
that of births by an average of about 1,800.
