MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of this Evening.)
Suomt.—ln the early part of the week the transactions in
the British Plantation market were principally confined to
the good and fine yellow descriptions taken by the grocers,
which owing to the supply continuing short brought rather
higher prices. whilst brown and low yellow sorts were sold
on
-rather easier terms, but since then buyers have come forward
nore freely; there has been a good and general demand and
the' depression which the litter kinds suffered has recovered
itself; the refiners have also evinced a better disposition to do
business during the last two days, and a pretty good demand
ha-sprevailed at the rates of Friday last, the private purchases
yesterday reached 1,500 hhds and trs. At public sale 200
hhds. Barbadoes sold with avidity, good and fine yellow de-
scriptions at 6d a is advance, whilst low and mid sorts main-
tained their former currency, fine went at 65s a 665, mid to
good 59s 6d a 645, ord 56s a 575. The impoerrtaatbiloen, this year
p to the 31st October, had exceeded that of last by
18,200 hhds, and 5,660 trs and brls, the stock at that time was
compared to

This afternoon there was much activity in the market,
grocers as well as refiners purchased very freely of both brown
and yellow descriptions ; the quantity sold reached 1,000 hhds
and trs at prices fully equal to those of yesterday ; the sales
for the week amount to 3,800 hhds and trs; for auction on
Tuesday, 120 hhds Barbadoes are declared.

REFINED.—From the grocers there has been a good demand
1)r both common and the better descriptions, and rather
higher prices have been obtained for the former :sales of good
strong lumps have been made at 745, fair 725, brown 70s a
71s. For export there have been several inquiries, and 35s
offered for double crushed in the docks, at which there are no
sellers, 35s 6d being now required.
MAURITIIIS.—There has been rather more business doing in
this article, and prices have improved 6d a is for good and fine
yellow descriptions ; brown and low yellow sorts have
maintained their former currency ; at public sales 947 bags
sold readily, fine yellow at 63s a 63s 6d, good 59s 6d, mid
545, very ordinary 525. The import this year is 56,000 bags
greater than in 1837, and the stock is 15,000 bags more than
the last year at this period, 5,600 bags have arrived since our
last, supplies of the new crop may be looked for about the
middle of January next.. No auction is yet declared but one
may be expected shortly.
EAST INDlA.—Bengal has been in good request for home
consumption, and prices have improved is for coloury descrip-
tions. 2,198 bags at public sale sold with spirit; fine white at
66s 6d a 67s ; mid. to good, 63s a 665; the quantity offering
for sale is still small. In export the operations privately have
been trivial, and 700 bags Manilla at public sale were
bought in above their value, low yellow 235, no offers being
made within is of the last sale. The arrivals this year of all
descriptions under this head have been upwards of 109,000
bags greater than in 1837. The stocks of Manilla and Siam
are much larger than at this time last year, but of Bengal it
is rather less.
MotAssEs.—West India have been in good request at
former rates ; sales of Demerara have been made at 255, St.
Vincent's 26i, and Antiguas 28s per cwt.
COFFEE.—At public sale 261 casks and 394 brls and bags
have been offered, a part only of which was sold at prices
Is 6d a 2s under those of last Friday, for ord to fine ord de-
scriptions, but the decline on middling sorts was not more
than ls. Berbice good mid went at 108 s 6d a 110 s,
middling 106 s a 107 s, low middling 103 s, fine ord 995;
Demerara good to fine ord 90s to 955, low middling 1053;
Jamaica mid to good mid 110 s to 112 s 6d, low mid 104 s 6d to
105 s, fine fine ord 100 s 6d, good and fine ord 94s 6d to 97s 6d ;
Trinidad good ord 96s to 98s 6d. In the stock and importa-
tion of this year as compared with that of last year there is no
material difference, since this day week 688 cks 30 bgs have been
imported, at present only 100 casks 100 bags are adver-
tised for auction next week ; Ceylon prices gave way 2s,
the quantity brought forward amounted to 800 bags, all

the demand. Of Foreign the stock is 6,600 bags Guayaquil,
which is all held by one party, who is not inclined to sell at
present. _ .

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Rum no further re-
duction in prices have been submitted to, but the demand has

IVIESNE PROCESS AGAIN ! !

In reply to " C. D." (writes
curtail)porti ns of
m awhoseyb be observed
elongated t a t
ifthe communicationodl
e d
law
writes
had o n
notsi a Correspondent, the fair pro.
considerably
found faulty in some respects, we should not have had a new
one as certainly faulty in other particulars. Ido not impugn
c
the accuracy of C. D.'s statement—such an atrocious case is
within the limits of possibility, and may have occurred about
as frequently as murder, or any other individual crime against
society. Arrest on mesne process was, no doubt, often a
weapon of much mischief and oppression in the hands of petti-
foggers, but to argue from the occasional abuse against the
legitimate use is certainly not overwise. C. D. states an evil
growing out of the old law—l feel that an enormous amount
of mischief has been occasioned by the New Act. Let a ba-
lance be struck between the two different measures, and if
the preponderating sum of evil and inconvenience be not found
flowing from the innovation, I much miscalculate the mis-
chievous extent of its operation. In predicting that before
many months have elapsed few bills given by small traders will
be punctually paid, I am fully borne out by the expressed opi-
nions of Mr. Commissioner Fane, Sir F. Pollock, and other
eminent legal authorities. Why, even Lord Brougham, and,
indeed, all those alike favourable to the principle of abolishing
imprisonment for debt, said that the mangling process the Bill
had undergone introduced so many mischievous anomalies and
damnifying defects, that but little good could be expected
from it. We shall soon see whether all these eminent and
learned men were wrong in the view they took of this bungling
piece of Legislation, or whether C. D. alone is right.
The New Bill, no doubt, will work well for knaves ;
but honest men, I apprehend, will often find it urge them
through all the bitter stages of pinching poverty, and finally in
the dreadful state of destitution to which they have been re-
duced, force them into a workhouse, there to remain until
death and the parish coffin have left them nothing more to
suffer, whilst those prosperous persons who contract debts,
without caring to pay them, may profligately wallow in luxu-
ries and superfluities, the produce of other men's capital and
labour.
