ARKET IN TELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday.)
SUGAR.—The British Plantation Raw Market in the early
part of the week was exceedingly brisk for all descriptions, both
the grocers and refiners purchasing freely at fully previous
rates, and the purchases amounted to 1,000 hhds. and trs., since
which, owing to the importers generally demandin, stiffer
prices, there has been rather less business doing ; still the de-
mand has been very good at previous rates, and in some in-
stances rather higher prices have been obtained, particularly
for the fine yellow descriptions, of which there are scarcely
any on show. This afternoon the prices continued very firm,
and the demand was very good from both grocers and refiners ;
the purchases for the week, including the public sales, amount
to 2,700 hhds. and trs. The Refilled Market continues brisk ;
the supply of goods is still extremely short, and the buyers have
paid fully former prices. On the part of the grocers there has
been much inclination evinced to purchase, and they have freely
paid 725. to 725. 6d. for lumps rather under, and 735. 6d. to
745. for those passing the standard. This afternoon of goods
ready for delivery there are scarcely any parcels remaining on
hand ; small sales of fine crushed made at 325., and this price
has been refused in several instances by the refiners ; the gre•
cers continue ready buyers at former rates.
Mituames.—The prices continue to improve, particularly
for the best yellow descriptions ; there has been a brisk demand
privately for both the scale and pan. This afternoon the de-
mand continued very good, and former prices were fully main-
tained at the two public sales of 5,116 bags, all of which said
readily.
EAST INDIA.--The grocers have been ready buyers of Ben-
gal, admissible for consumption at the low rate of duty, at im-
proving prices.
FOREIDN.—The Market has been quiet; there have been
no public sales.
COFFEE.--There has been a good demand from the grocers
for British Plantation this week, and fully former rates have
been obtained, and in some instances rather stiffer prices havo
been paid.
Russ, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND% —.The Rum Market bat
been exceedingly brisk ; the buyers have purchased freely of
all descriptions, and previous prices have been fully maintained;
the purchases have been extensive, amounting to 350 puns. Ja-
maica, and 300 puns. Leewarda. Brandy continues to be taken
sparingly. Geneva is in steady demand.

GRAVESEND.. TIIIS favourite watering-place, and
now daily resort of the people of this great metropolis, pro'
mises to become a large city, and has already quite out-
grown
its ancient limits. New streets, terraces, crescents,
and squares, are forming in the eastern part of the town is
the neighbourhood of that delightful promenade, the Ter-
race Gardens, while to the west of Gravesend, a quarter of
a mile from the old town, and situate in Northfleet
rish, a new town, under the name of Rosherville,
si-
tuate on the heights above the chalk excavations, is now
forming, and several large mansions and villas have alree4
been completed, together with a commodious wharf and
pier for the landing and embarkation of steam-boat and
other passengers. The new town and pier will prove powerful rival to the old one, without any of ite narrol
streets and close alleys, and it will have the additional
attraction of zoological gardens and museum, which were.
opened yesterday by a public breaktitet in honour
of the birth-day of her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent. A magnificent betel is building near the
baths fronting the river. As a drawback to all these ill)"
provements, the Windmill-hill, tho favourite resort of the
visitors, has been partially inclosed and built upon, and by
the erection of a hoard on one side of it the public are de'
prived of the extensive prospect in that direction. An at'
tempt was lately made to shut up the hill altogether, but
a right of way, of eighty years' standing, was claimed, and
now a narrow path has been fenced in, over which people
are to be allowed to pass ; but the proprietor has, we un-
derstand, threatened to try his right of excluding the public
from the hill altogether. This beautiful spot, and the de-
lightful view of the surrounding country, have always at-
tracted great numbers to Gravesend, and there is no 'doubt
that the closing of it wiil be of serious injury to the town,
which, with the exception of the Terrace Gardens, now very tastefully laid out, and enlivened daily by a trilitarY
bind, does not possess a single public promenade for the
visitors. The corporation were anxious to purcl-,ase Wind-
mill-hill for the public, but the demand of , the owner was
more than they felt justified in complying with.•
The King of the Netherlands has appointed a
mission for devising plans for dra.lning the lake of Ilaarleol.
which was formed by an irruption, of the sea, and in .which,
at the present day, when the tide is out, may be seen traces
of cultivation, and even the remains of public buildings and
houses.
STATE OF SICILY.---In addition to the intelligence
of yesterday, respecting the troubles in Sicily, the follow-
ing has been collected from a journal of some authority
Naples, August .—The insurrection in Sicily does not
appear to be at all organised ; that is to say, there is neither centre nor union ; but the utter contempt
which
exists of the public authorities is such, that in the wlO,llll
The
island not one can obtain the slightest obedience, e
public treasuries are empty ; taxes are not paid ; and the
armed forces cannot leave the garrison towns in whick
they are (ILIA.' d. The guards on the preventive ser-
vice do no duty, and the half of the soldiers under the
soldiers under the orders of Brigadier Desanget refuse to
serve. This state of things is alarming, particularly wile's Joined to the unquiet spirit existing in Calabria, the utter
apathy which paralyses every use of the means at the
disposal of the government, the prejudices of the ..Kior'
and the absurd measures which they sometimes persuade
him to adopt. The fermentation excited by the choler:
will not give way, even when the disease gives way, exeeP
before the force of Austrian bayonets.
