MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the New London Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR.—West India has fully supported previous prices,
and in some instances an advance of 6d. has been obtained ;
The market has been very lively, both grocers and refiners have
purchased freely, and the private purchases since our last have
been 2,700 hhds. and tre. Even at the present rates some of
the importers are not inclined to sell, and when it is considered
the great deficiency there is in the stock here when compared
with that of last year at this period, and that at the principal
outports a further falling off of above 9,000 hhds. is known to
exist, it is natural that many of the holders should be very con.
fident, in the expectation of this difference showing itself very
much by the end of the year, and that they cont►nue conse-
quently sanguine in the opinion of a further advance in prices.
At the opening of the market this morning, the importers
demanded rather higher prices than were paid on Friday, which
they again easily succeeded in obtaining, and the market was
exceedingly brisk ; the demand from both grocers and refiners
was extensive and general, and an advance of 6d. on previous
rates has been established, even at which several holders are
unwilling sellers. The deficiency in the stock, and the favour-
able turn the refined trade has taken, has given them increased
confidence. The private purchases amount to 1,300 hhds. and
trs. There was no public sale of Barbadoes, and none is
declared.

The stock of West India Sugar is now 31,527 Wads. and
trs., being 12,861 less than last year. The stock of Mauri-
tius is now 64,995 bags, which is 24,341 more than last year
(including the East India Dock.) The delivery of West
India last week was 2,659 hhds. and trs., which is 273 more
more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 4,567
bags, being 1,447 more than the corresponding week of last
year (including the East India Dock.)
Of Refined goods the grocers have purchased freely, paying
745. for Lumps rather under the standard, and 755. for those
entitled to the double bounty ; for shipping there has been a
very good business done ; double Crushed has been selling
at 345., and there being only a limited quantity ready for im-
mediate delivery, difficulty is now experienced in purchasing
under 345. 6d. Pieces and Bastards have been in brisk de-
mand. Treacle has been taken readily, particularly ord. and
mid. qualities, for which rather higher prices have been ob-
tained, Dutched Crushed Sugar is held for 325. ; 31s. 6d.
has been offered and refused.

This afternoon the market was exceedingly brisk, both
grocers and shippers purchasing freely at an advance on pre-
vious rates of Is., the former paying 7iis. for Lumps rather
under, and 765. for those passing the standard, and the latter
345. 6d. to 355. for double Crushed ; even at which rates
there are now few sellers, goods being extremely scarce.
Treacle and Bastards in brisk demand, at former prices. For
Dutch Crushed Sugar 335. is now demanded.
MAURITIUS.—The buyers have purchased freely of all dc-
scriptior.s; brown and low middling yellow qualities have fully
supported previous rates, but good qualities of the latter

dily ; ordinary to good middling yellow at 575. to 605., very
good 635. per cwt. There has been no arrivals, and no-
thing is advertised for public sale ; the stock is now
chiefly held by one house. This afternoon the. buyers pur-
chased freely, and previous prices were fully. maintained, 748

the grocers by private contract for Bengal, and none has been
offered at public sale, but former rates have been fully sup.
ported. For exportation the transactions have been trivial, at
late prices. 1,700 bags are announced for auction for Friday
next. Manilla has again been much sought after, at fully the
rates previously established, and the private purchases have
been 4,000 bags at 17s. 6d. to 183. 6d. for low to fine brown.
In Siam business has been prevented, owing to there being
no supply at market; there has been several inquiries, at fully

Monday morning, Mrs. Elizabeth Davy, a nlarriet
woman, residing in Old Pye-street, Westminster, was
tacked by a large dog of the Newfoundland breed, bell;
ing to her husband, which suddenly sprung upon heriwtho
such violence that she was forced to the earth, and i";„,
infuriated animal seized her by the front portion of the ''rd
and the nose, most frightfully lacerating the parts, ale
tearing the flesh from the gums, leaviog a portion of the
jawbone and several of the teeth exposed. The dog ill,
made an attack on the unfortunate woman's right chee"
and tore the flesh from the bone to the extent of two °r
three inches, and would no doubt have worried her t°
death, but for the interposition of some neighbours,
alarmed by her shrieks, hastened to her assistance. I'7;
Davy was removed to the Westminster Hospital in a The

A gentleman in Washe

kind of stove for heating carriages of all kinds, whic"nry
said to answer its purpose excellently. It takes LIP
little room, and consumes so little fuel that for a fel' Pein.
it may be kept supplied during a journey of 100 miles, no
sides having the additional advantage of giving 00'" ral
smoke. It has been applied to the carriages on 5e

Transatlantic railways. An American paper, noticing
invention, says—" or a trifling expense, a note driver
