MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of February 3.)

SeeAn.-The request for British Plantation has been very
moderate, and the importers have submitted in some instances
to a reduction of 6d. for the brown and mid. yellow descrip-
tions, but in the prices of the good and fine qualities there has
not been the least change ; the demand has l;cen principally
for the descriptions suitable for the pan, at 565. a 575. ; at
auction, 125 hhds. Barbadoes went at rather law prices, and
sold at 61s. to 675. 6d. for ord. to fine.
For Refined goods there has been an improved request from
the grocers ; 78s. paid for Lumps to pass, a.nd 775. for those
rather under the standard; the export descriptions have been
in rather better demand, and several parcels of fine Crushed,
for immediate delivery, and three weeks on,. brought 365. a
365. 6d., and one refiner has sold about 1,700 e.wt. at Wis., to,
be delivered in all February. Hamburg Loaves were also in
request for shipping at 395.. to 405., which latter price has
since been refused for some just passing the standard, the
Refined wanting 41s. In Dutch Crushed there ha been no-
thing done, and the price remains at 345.

The invitations from the President of the Royal
Society, the Duke of Sussex, were in the course of distribu-
tion on Wednesday. The first party will be on the 11th inst., at
Kensington Palace; and the following ones on the 11th of
March, the 13th of May, and the 10th of June.
Lord Ponsonby, his Majesty's Ambassador at
Constantinople, having obtained leave to come home for a
short time on urgent private affairs, Sir C. 'Vaughan, late his
Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
at Washington, is about to proceed to Constantinople as Am-
bassador Extraordinary whilst Lord Ponsonby is away : it
not being thought right to leave so important a post without
an Ambassador. But Lord Ponsonby's absence will only be
temporary, and will probably not exceed a few months.--
Evening Paper.—[This confirms the information we pub-
lished on Saturday.]
Wednesday the revived burletta of the Two Figaro' s
was again performed at the Olympic Theatre. Madame Ves-
trig and Mr. Liston having resumed their requisite parts, we
need hardly state that the performance went off triumphantly.
There is but little doubt that such a lively piece, so well sup-
ported, will continue to attract—or in the more expressive
technicality of the stage—to have a run. The house was, as
usual, well attended.

Mr. Winston Barron, M.P., has paired off' with the
Hon. Colonel Dawson Darner, until the 14th of Feb. Both
gentlemen are suffering from influenza, and are in Paris at
present.
The Countess of Pembroke and Lady Herbert are
on the eve of leaving for Paris, where they contymplate so!
journing some time.

ERRATA.-In our leading article of yesterday, on the London
Poor Law Union, th,zwe occur two errors, which were over-
looked in the hurry of going to press. In the first line,
instead of " meeting of churchwardens" it should have been
" number of churchwardens;" and in the second line of the
second sentence, the words " they passed" should have been
omitted.
