MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of March 17.)
SUGAR.-The transactions in the British Plantation Market
have been very limited, either to supply the wants of the re-
finers or grocers, which in a great measure may be attributed
to the indifferent and scanty supply of the good and fine
descriptions, the prices of which have been fully supported,
and in some instances even a slight advance has been ob-
tained ; the ord. and soft qualities have been taken spar-
ingly, but the buyers have been compelled to pay fully last
week's rates ' • not above a third part of the present stock re-
mains in the hands of the importers ; the deliveries have been
on a large scale, and last week they exceeded those of the
corresponding one of last year by 1,300 hhds.; the arrivals
since this day week'have been 1,993 hhds. and trs.; there has
been no public sale of Barbadoes, nor is there any advertised.
This afternoon the Market was quiet, the grocers and re-
finers, owing to the supply being still indifferent, purchasing
sparingly ; the prices continue firm, and the purchases for the
week have been 1,500 hhds. and trs.
Of Refined Sugar the grocers have purchased very sparingly,
and although the Market is scantily supplied with goods a re-
duction on former rates of Is. has been submitted to. Lumps
rather under the standard selling at 785., and those that
would pass at 80s. ; the export descriptions have given way in
their value, and they are scarce, but the business done
has been on a very limited scale, and confined to a few small
parcels of double Crushed at 375. to 38s. for immediate, and
365. 6d. forluture delivery ; Hamburgh Loaves has e been sold at
425. free on board; for Bastards there has been a good re-
quest, and former rates have been fully supported. Ja the
prices of Treacle there is no change ; the demand has bs:en
good, and the supply at market is- still scanty. In Dutch
Crushed Sugar nothing has been done, but former rates are
required.
Maufterrus.-There has been a good request, chiefly from
the grocers ; the prices of last week have been fully main-
tained for the mid. descriptions, but for the goad and fine qua-
lities an advance of 6d. has been obtained ; at public sale
6,554 bags went at 625. to 665. for good arid fine yellow, and
575. 6d. to 60s. 6d. fur mid. and low mid. The arrivals hare
been heavy, amounting to 17,430 bags. This afternoon there
was a less request, and 5,150 bags at public sale went sixpence
cheaper, good yellow at 625. to 645., low and mid. yellow,
575. 6d. to 605., and mid. brown, 555.
EAST INDIA.-For Manilla the request has been very mode-
rate, but the holders require full prices; and of 2,037 bags at
public sale, only the damaged, of which it chiefly consisted,
found buyers, low to good brown 15s. to 18s. ; the sound was
withdrawn. For Bengal for home consumption there has been
an active request at fully former rates, but for export little has
been done ; 3,300 bags are announced for auction on Tuesday
next. There have been eager buyers of Siam, but there being
none in the market, nothing has been done. 120 bags good
brown Manilla have been taken at 205., and 160 bags Siam
at 235.
This afternoon the public sales comprised 1,083 bags Ben-
gal, and 38 casks 1,242 bags Siam-the former went readily
at unaltered prices, washed 235. to 295., low and mid. white
at 295. to 325., ord. brown 17s. to 235., and 245. to 28s. for
mid. ; of the latter a small part only found buyers, low dabs
at 13s. to 13s. 6d., good mid. white damps at 255., ord. yel-
low 15s. 6d. to 17s. 6d., good 18s. 6d. ,
FOREIGN -The Market continuing to be very scantily sup-
plied with the good strong white descriptions of Brazil mild
Havannah, has again prevented business being done by private
contract. At public sale 2,749 boxes Havannah met with ready
buyers, good yellow 265. 6d., mid. soft 245. washed 245. to 255.,
good brown 225. 6d., mid. and good white 365. to 375., ord. and
soft 28s. to 325., washed 235. 6d. to 355. 6d. ; 215 chests and
barrels soft Pernambuco also at auction were nearly disposed
of ; in barrels ord. to mid. white 265. to 315., good yellow
235., in chests ord. brown 165., low yellow 18s., very ord. mid.
white 225. 6d. to 255. ; 458 boxes soft Cuba were taken in at
stiff prices, good yellow 245. to 265. 6d. ; on Tuesday next 80
chests Brazil and 1,000 boxes white and yellow Havannah will
be offered at public sale.
Moeesses.-West India have undergone no change in va-
lue, but there has been little request, and the only sale re-
ported has been that of a small parcel of Barbadoes at 295. a
30s. At auction this afternoon 286 puns. and 11 hhds., only
a small part of which were disposed of at full prices, mid.

steady rates; 147 bags of the latter consisted of Sumatra,
and was taken in at 38s. for good ord., and 355. for very ord. ;
the remainder was Mocha, and was partly sold at 735. for good
clean garbled.
.TEA.-The public sales of Free Trade arc going off at
rather stiffer prices for the fine sorts, and at about former rates
for the low descriptions; the biddings are by no means brisk.
Wooe.-The stocks of all descriptions remaining in the
hands of the manufacturers arc small, but owing to the state of
the Money Market, and the want of confidence occasioned by
the late failures, the market for both English and Foreign
continues in a very dell state.

The title of " Atticus ; or, the Retired Statesman,
which forms a portion of Mr. Ward's new work " Human Lillie
will excite no small degree of curiosity and interest as to the
original of the picture; for there is no, doubting that, 11"
most if not all of Mr. Ward's literary portraits, it will b?
from, as well as to the life. Yet what " Retired Statesman'_
of our own day there may be, whose character and pursuits ar'',
likely to have occupied the pen of the philosophic author 0'
" Tremaine," we are at some loss to conjecture.
