MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of July 21.)
&GAlL—There has been very little improvement in the
demand for British plantation, both grocers and refiners con-
tinuing to purchase sparingly of all descriptions. Barbadoes
sold at 58s. to 655. 6d. for mid. and line yellow, one lot of
very superior 70s. Of refined goods the grocers have pur.
chased freely. Lumps rather under the standard have sold
briskly at 725. to 72i. 6d., those entitled to the double bounty
at 735. to 74e. Sales of double crushed have been made at
31s. to 31s. 6d., below which there are not sellers. This
afternoon there was less business doing in grocery goods, but
to purchase fully former rates may be paid ; for shipping small
:ales of double crushed at 31e. to 31s. 6d.

FOREIGN. —Tho good 'yellow descriptions have been much
in demand at stiffer rates, and sales privately have been made
at 275. to 295. and 30s. for superior; the disposition to pur-
chase white continues very great and 50s. is reported to have
been paid for a floating cargo.

India, but the supply at market being very short, stiff prices
are required by the importers. Small sales made at 28s. to
295. 6d.

6s. 9d. for good bright of first quality, and 6s. 2d. for rather

" BERKELEY MONOPOLY."—The compliment
which the Cheltenham Journal has so strangely conjured up, and
as greedily appropriated to himself, exists no where but in the
imagination of our very ingenious contemporary. For the
far-fetched, unwarranted, and extremely ludicrous inference
which the Journal has prematurely, and with so touch avidity
seized, it is entirely indebted to a misprint—the word "inju-
rious" having, by the mistake of the printer, been substituted for
" ingenious." We regret exceedingly that truth compels us
to add—even at the hazard of depriving our Conservative con-
temporary of his triumphant self-gratulation—that formidable
an opponent as he confessedly is, that he cannot, with all his
talent, ingenuity, and vast mental resources, be injurious to
the distinguished Reformer against whom he has directed his
editorial battery. The letter of the Editor of the Cheltenham
Journal affords additional evidence of the blamlessness of
Lord Segrave, as respects the elections, and confirms us in
the justice of the opinion we before expressed upon the sub-
ject. We repeat that the alleged "monopoly" and the
vaunted " death-blow" are both equally the creations of our
ingenious Contemporary. The charge of monopoly is ground-
less and absurd.

LONDON AND GREENWICH RAlLWAY.—Yester-
day a special meeting of the shareholders in this Company was
held to take into consideration the affairs of the company, and
the propriety of completing the line. Sir William Beattie
was chairman. It appeared that the affairs of the undertaking
(from a report read) were in an embarrassed state, and that
the completion of the line could not be effected until the com-
pany received a further subscription from the shareholders.
Many claims remained unsettled, for the recovery of which
the claimants had commenced legal proceedings. These an-
nouncements were received with great dissatisfaction by the
shareholders, and after a protracted discussion, it was agreed
that the financial and other affairs of the company should forth-
with be inspected by a committee of nine gentlemen appointed
by the majority. The other business of the meeting then
came on—that of the completion of the railway. To effect
this it was plainly intimated that 45,0004 would be required,
which sum it was proposed should be raised by a fresh issue of
shares to the number of 3,750, to bear interest at the rate of
five per cent. per annum to be taken up by the shareholders, or
offered to the public. Money to carry on the works would be,
it was said, immediately required. A calculation had been
made that the company was losing from 50/. to 601. per day by
the non-completion of the line. Ultimately, it was carried
that the new shares should be both offered to the shareholders
and the public, and thanks having been given to the chairman
and directors, the meeting adjourned.
ST. JAMES'S PARK.—In addition to the grand
improvement lately effected in the Bird-cage-walk by enclos-
ing with a strong iron railing and planting out the unsightly
appearance of the backs of the houses there, the immediate
erection of a new ledge in the centre of the mall, near Storey's-
gate, j 4 itlithorised by the Commissioners of her Majesty's
Woods and Works. It is proposed to be of a plain, neat, and
simple style of architecture, and according to tie dosig"tn4
