MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of June 4.)
SUGAR.--The British Plantation Sugar market has
become very quiet; the demand since our last has been
principally from the grocers, and they have purchased only
sufficient to supply their immediate wants, although the
merchants have submitted to a reduction on previous rates
of is per cwt.
This afternoon 118 hhds Barbadoes Sugar were sub-
mitted to public competition, all of which were disposed of,
but there was no spirit in the biddings, yet former rates
were supported, fine sold at 68s a 69s 6d, good 67s a 67s
6d, mid and good mid 64s a 66s 6d.

descriptions of Refined goods, and rather lower prices have
been submitted to ; for Lumps equal to the standard 82s has
been accepted. For exportation the demand is now con-
fined to goods manufactured from Foreign Sugar in bond;
sales in Crushed have been made at 365, and 10 lbs Loaves
at 465; Bastards have been less in request, and prices are
rather lower. Pieces have been taken sparingly, and sales
have been made on rather easier terms. Treacle has been in
good request, and has brought former rates. For Dutch
Crushed Sugar the quotation is 345, at which some small
sales have been made.

three public sales, consisting of 13,400 bags, all of which

SAINTLY SLANDER.—Anotl►er name may be
added to the list of gross and indecent slanderers of Ire-
land. The Rev. 'Ali% Morgan, of Belfast, has ventured
to stake his character on the assertion that the life of a
man—" of any man, however estimable"—may be taken
away in Ireland for a few pounds. This is the cool and
deliberate statement of the teacher of a Christian Congre-
tion. His other statement is the old lie out of date, `• as a
spent sky-rocket," that the Bible is not circulated among
the Catholic people of Ireland. Now, we have a circula-
tion of thirty-five thousand copies of the New Testament,
and ten tho:isand copies of the Bible in a single di:tricto in
less than half a dozen years.—Belfast Vindicator.
