MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( Front the London. New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR—The public sales announced for next week
already comprise 200 hhds Barbadoes, 4,000 chests yellow
Havannab, 1,400 hhds Cuba and Porto Rico, and 6,000
bags Mauritius. A large amount of business was con-
cluded in British Plantation to-day, and rates closed fully
equal to those of Friday last; for brown they are, however,
barely up to that time.
FORElGN—Privately several parcels were disposed of at
full prices, and the market has a firm aspect. There was
no public sale.
MAimmus—Mauritius met with a good demand, and at
auction 2,959 bags went at rates fully equal to last Friday,
very ordinary to fine brown at 25s to 30s, low to good
yellow 30s Gd to 34s 6d, and fine grainy yellow to good
white ditto 41s Gd to 42s 6d.
REFINED.—There are still ready buyers of home made
goods, and rates closed firmly, brown lumps at 43s Gd, and
low to fine grocery 44s to 493. In crushed Sugar export
operations are on a more extended scale, and rates are
well kept up for Dutch.
COFFEE.--Plantation Ceylon was much in demand to-
day, and at auction 234 casks 18 brls, 497 bags went at
rather higher fates, making an advance of is for the week,
fine fine ord realiiing 56s 01 to b7s, low mid to mid 57s
6d to 61s, and triage 46s to 535.
TEL.—There was less desire to operate to-day, still
holders remain firm, and ordinary sound common eangon
was not to be obtained under lid per lb.
Cliftcni7.--Supply does not extend of Foreign Root, and
prices are firm at A/ 103 to 10/ 15s in Bond.
PIMENTO.-560 bgs wale placed in auction at 5),d to
50, being about former prices.
TALLOW.—There has not been much fluctuation in
prices during the present week, but as usual on the Ist of
the month buyers haVe acted on the reserve, and an oc-
casional speculative parcel on the market has given prices
A G'23 41.1 , and generally at 62s
the bias in the consumer'? favour. ;New tallow has ranged
from 62s di to 63s 611 on the spot, and old from 63s 6d to
62a 9d ; all the year 62
6d for January to March., The. reported successes in
the Crimea as portending a most rapid executive,
and consequent speedy termination of the war, added
In the early part of the iweek to the inactivity
et the market, but the subsequent doubts and final
contra.dictien ef the rumours by tho Government
Gazette have imparted a firmer tone, and this is farther
strengthened by the bad 'tenants of the roads by which
supplies are finding their way overkmd. Australian and
South American sorts aro from their scarcity compara-
tively dear, and firmly held. Home tallow has been in
improved supply, but there has not been much brought an
00_111101d, and 62s is the current rate net cash.
OiLdeArlttseed has not been very active, but a good
current businesthie been concluded at the steady rates of
34s to 34s Gd on the spot. Pape oil has become flat, espe-
cially the brown descriptions, and purchases might be
made on slightly better terms, 45s to 450 6d has been the
range for brown, 47s to 47s Gd for pale, the tatter figures
being Closing prices. Fish oils continue to engage little
Attention privately, as public sales are freely brought for-
ward, We have again several parcels to-day. Sperm,
however, turn§oroth much firmer than was expected, and
some inquiry has fectind the terms of holders enhanced to
1081. Cocoa-nut oil has bean in some measure influenced
by the tallow market, and there has been little disposi-
tion to buy, except at easier prices, which have in very
few instances been accepted. Palm is without quotable
alteration. Olive oil has continued steady at the quo-
tations.

ADJUTANT MACALISTEN TUN 46TH REGIMENT.—
Mr. Voules, the solicitor employed by the friends of the
youth Simms, to prosecute Adjutant Macalister for false
imprisonment, on the occasion of the lad calling out, "I
don't remember," &c., after having served the usual no-
tice on the defendant, had a meeting with Mr. Long,
solicitor. This gentleman, on the part of Adjutant
Macalister, apologised for the hasty and unjustifiable
proceedings of his client, and" offered to pay ten pounds
to settle the affair, which was ultimately agreed to, and
thus ended the matter.

FATAL LANDSLIP.—A few days ago, about a quarter
of an acre of land fell in upon three men who were
working in a quarry near Kingsbridge, in the south of
Devon. A blacksmith's shop, which was erected near,
also fell in, and, although the utmost exertions have
been made to rescue the unfortunate men, all attempts
have failed to discover them.

POOR LAW OFFICERS IN DIIBLIN.—The Lords of the I
Treasury, in a recent instruction sent to the Irish poor
law commission, have fixed the amount of compensation
at 251. to each extra clerk who may henceforth be dis-
continued, or who may resign, as has been the practice
heretofore. The result of this arrangement has been,
and will be, to place clerks, five, six, or seven years in
the service on a par with those of a few years' standing.
The rule, it it is in this instance acceptable to some, is
most unjust to others, and cannot fa,il to work injuriously
as a precedent in the other public department% in Ire.
