LONDON MARKETS

(From the London New Price Current of this Evening.)
SUGAR.—We have still to report an improving market for
West India Muscovadoes ; from the grocers there has been a
good and general demand; the refiners have also purchased
freely, and the advices received from Demerara being of an un-
favourable character, buyers yesterday were compelled to pay
an advance on previous rates of 6d to is ; at public sale on
Tuesday 133 hogsheads Barbadoes and 282 hogsheads 19
tierces 14 barrels St. Lucia sold briskly, the former
brought full prices, fine to fine 61s 6d to 675; the coloury de-
scriptions of the latter went rather dearer, whilst the lower
kinds sold at previous rates, good to fine yellow went at 60s 6d
to 64s 6d, mid to good mid grey 55s 6d to 595, low mid 53s
6d to Ms. 6d, good to fine brown 50s 6d to 535. The average
price which will appear in this night's Gazette is 32s 5.41 d, in
1837 405 771 d, and in 1836 368 6d per cwt.
This afternoon there was a brisk demand for both brown and
yellow descriptions from refiners as well as grocers, and a fur-
ther advance of 6d was obtained, making the rise this week
is a is 6d, and 3,500 hhds, &c.;have been sold.
REFINED.--For home consumption there has again been a
good demand for Refined goods, particularly for ord descrip-
tions, and previous rates have been fully maintained. For
shipping there has been nothing done, owing to the stiff prices
required by the refiners, who ask 39s for double Crushed
whilst the orders here are not above 35s a 365. Treacle
has secured a good sale, and rather better prices have been ob-
tained. Pieces and good qualities of Bastards have sold to a
fair extent at late rates, but ord sorts of the latter continue
neglected. Dutch Crushed is not to be purchased under 33s
per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This article continues to move with the above,
and prices of middling and good sorts are now 3s to 4s,
and brown to low and middling yellow about 2s higher
than our quotations of 30th August last. On Tuesday 4,218
bags were put up at auction, nearly all of very superior
colour and quality, imported in February last—prices generally
above the valuations were offered, but not having had any parcel
so good for some period it was difficult to fix any accurate
worth : about 2,000 bags were disposed of at and immedi-
ately after the sale, from 58s 6d to 64s 6d ; the remain-
der have since been placed at buying in prices, and in
some instances 6d above. Our present stock is 67,000 bags,
being about 30,000 bags more than that of last year.
This afternoon 3,000 bags at public sale were all sold at
stiffer prices; good to fine yellow brought 59s to 635; low
mid to good mid, 54s 6d to 58s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA. —For export there has been a better demand
for Manilla, and 4,000 bags have been sold by private contract
at 22s for good brown. In Siam the operations have been
trivial, but previous rates have been supported. Bengal is
still wanted by the grocers, but the demand has been checked
by the short supply at Market.
This afternoon at auction 300 bags Bengal sold;at previous
rates, low greyish white 62s to 645.
FOREIGN.—White and yellow Havannab have been sought
after, but the demand has been checked by the short supply
at market, and the increasing demands of importers, and
the transactions have been short by private contract. For
Brazil there has been more inquiry, and full prices have
been obtained for the few small parcels which have been sold.
MOLASSES.—West India has been sought after, but the
short supply at market and the increasing demands of the im
porters have checked business; Antigua of fine quality has
brought 30s. The stock is 2,857 casks heavier than at this
period in 1837. The arrivals this year have exceeded those of
last by nearly 5,000 casks.
Tea.—The market continues dull for both Black and Green
Tea. Holders have accepted last sale's prices for the few small
breaks which have been sold this week. For Company's there
is no inquiry, which may be attributed to the superior quality
of the Tea offered at the last Quarterly Sale.
COFFEE.—The middling and good descriptions of British
Plantation have been sought after by the grocers at previous
rates, but the demand has been checked by the limited quan •
tity offered for sale, for ordinary to fine ord sorts there are
at present 'not many buyers, but importers having supplied
the market sparingly previous rates were supported; but un-
clean kinds have met with a dull sale at prices is under
those of Friday last, at public sale 200 casks Jamaica, have
been offered, a part only of which found buyers, the quality
not being suitable to the wants of the trade, low mid 104 s, mid
105 s 6d a 107 s, fine 1255, fine to fine fine ord 983 6d d 100 s
6d, good ord 95s a 965, ord 77s a 81s, there has again been
no arrival, and at present only 150 casks, &c, are declared
for public sale next week ; the stock is now 382 casks, 3,142
brls and bags more than at this period last year, the
arrival, from the Ist of January to the present time have
been 700 casks less, but 2,642 brls and bags more than last
year at this period. The transactions in East India descrip-
tions admissible for home consumption at the less rate of duty
have again been limited ; the grocers purchasing only sufficient
to supply their immediate wants, but they have been com-
pelled to pay 97s for good ord Ceylon, under which there are
no sellers. The arrivals this year have been nearly 18,000
bags less than they were last ; the stock is now 22,693 bags
less than last year at this period. The demand for Mocha
continues limited for home consumption, for export there is no
demand, and some of the holders being anxious to realize,
prices at a public sale of 116 bales gave way is a 6s, fine
yellow clean garbled sold at 107 s 6d, good to fine ord greenish
98s 6d a 103 s.

by private contract, and none has been offered at auction, but
at lower prices there are no sellers; Foreign is held firmly at
35s a 375.

CHICORY.—At public sale 1,000 bags were taken in at 26s
per cwt.

RlCE.—.East India has been in brisk request by private

the advanced prices of 17s 6d a 193 for low mid and white
Bengal.

Currants, damaged, took place on Tuesday, of which the fol-
lowing are the prices; Patras, 75s a 76s ; Zante,
70s a 71s ; and Cephalonia, 69s a 71s ; 50 barrels

71s, but no sellers under 72s ; in new Patras there has been
more doing at 755; other sorts continue to go off steafay, at
about former quotations.

descriptions: Geneva at 2s 4d a2s sd.
INDIGO.—The advices received from Calcutta that the In-
digo crop was not likely to yield more than 80,000 to 85,000
maunds, has caused an advance on October prices of is for
the general run, and is 3d for picked lots; but business to
any extent has been prevented by the limited quantity offering
for sale, several of the holders not being inched to sell at
present.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

(From the French Papers of Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday.)
The Moniteur contains the text of the treaty concluded, on
the 9th of August last, between the Papal and French Go-
vernments, for the transmission of letters between their re-
spective States, and for the regulation of the packets appro-
priated to this service. According to this treaty the French
Government is to transport Roman letters to and from France
and French possessions, as well as various maritime States of
Italy, Malta, Greece, and Turkey ;` the boats destined to this
service being found and kept up by F'rance. Ordinary letters,
sample letters, and money letters, or letters entered on the
Post-office bills, as well as newspapers, periodicals, &c.,
printed in the languages of the respective countries, may be
transmitted between the States of the two contracting Powers.
Ordinary letters and sample letters may be post paid or not, at
the option of the sender; money letters, or letters entered on
the bills, must be paid all the way ; journals and periodicals
must be paid to the limits of the respective States. Several
minor regulations for the service, tariffs, &c. of the Post.offices
are contained in the same treaty. The packets are to he con
sidered as vessels of war, and may land passengers at Civite
Vecchia.
On Monday evening the Saxon Minister and the Baroness
de Kceneritz, the Belgian Minister the Prince and Princess
de Chimay, the Count and Countess de Bondy, M. Dupin,
and General Darriule, had the holiour of being received by
their Majesties. Yesterday General Durosnel had the honour
of being received by the King, who transacted business with
the Minister of the Interior.
The complaint of which Marshal Lobau died was consider-
ably aggravated by the opening of an old wound, which caused
au influx of blood into the region of the lungs, and hastened
his decease.
The following is a brief sketch of the Marshal's public
life :—Count Lobau was born on the 21st of February, 1770,
at Phalsburg, in the Meurthe, of an obscure family with-
out fortune, of the name of Mouton, and at the time of
the Revolution was employed in a commercial house in his
native town. He, however, soon left the counting-house,
and entered the army, in which his talents and bravery
soon made him distinguished. Every step he gained
was earned by some act of valour ; and when, in 1804,
at the camp of Boulogne, he was appointed to the com-
mand of the third regiment of the line, the whole army
applauded the choice of Napoleon, who soon afterwards ap
pointed him one of his Aides-de .Camp. He gained the rank
of General of Brigade by his distinguished conduct during
the campaign of 1805. The immediately following campaigns
gave him new claims to the favour of Napoleon, and on the
sth of October, 1807, he was promoted to the rank of General
of Division. The campaign of 1809 brought his military re-
nown to its acme, and earned him the title of Count Lobau,
when he defended the small isle of Lobau against the Aus-
trians, and brought his troops out of it across the Danube,
gaining a complete victory over the enemy, The Em-
peror used to ray of him " Mon Mouton c'est un lion !"
In the year 1812 he was appointed Aide-Major of
the imperial Guard ; and in 1813 Commander-in-Chief
of the first corps of thq grand army. On the ces-
sation of Lostilities ha returned to France, and on the
Bth of January, 1814, was created a chevalier of Saint
Louis. During the Hundred Days he resumed his post under
the standard of Napoleon, was created a Member of the Cham-
ber of Peers, and was made Commandant of the first military
division. In the campaign of 1815, Count Lobau was at the
head of the sixth corps of the army of the North, and de-
feated the Prussians on June Bth ; but was taken prisoner at
Waterloo, and sent over to England, where he learnt that the
entrance into France was closed against him. In 1818 he was
re-admitted into France, and, after a lapse of ten years, wee
elected Deputy for the Meurthe, and took his scat on tte op-
position benches. The part which he took, in the revolution
of 1830 is too well 1-flown to need repet;.ejee, He was a mem-
bar of the c;bmmittee at the Hotel, de Ville, and on the resig-
nat;.oil of Gen. Lafayette, in 1811, was appointed Command-
ant of the National Guards of Peria and the Banlieue. On
The 80th July, in the same year, he received his baton as
Marshal of France, He lived and died universally respected.
" The destiny of the children of the adopted son of the Em-
peror Napoleon," says the Commerce, is worthy of remark."
One of the sons of Prince Eugene Beauharnais became the
consort of Donna Maria, Queen of Portugal, and the other is
on the point of being married to a daughter of the Emperor
of Russia ; one of the daughters is the widow of the Emperor
of Brazil, and the other is the wife of the heir to the throne
of Sweden."
The National Guard of the city of Metz has been di solved
by royal ordonnance, issued on Monday last.
The Memorial Bordelais says that in the autograph letter
of the Queen Regent of Spain to the King of the French, on
the subject of the intervention of France, an intimation has
been given that, in case of an intervention taking place, an
advantage may result to the Rol alt.) of 1830, from the possi-
bility of a future union with a Princ:, of the House of Orleans,
by which a son of France might be placed on the Spanish
Constitutional Throne, as under the reign of Louis XIV.
It is to be proeusaed," says the Memorial, " that these
diplomatic communications will he followed by no result till
after the meeting of the Chambers ; and we cannot suppose
that the French Government will consent to the intervention
cl, m ;tided, as the Chamber of Deputies was formally opposed
to it two years ago, end may be supposed still hostile to it le
the interest of France."

A Bayonne journal states that a new contract has been en-
tered into by some commercial houses at Bayonne, fora supply
of clothing to the troops of Don Carlos. The contract was
concluded at Tolosa.

The Sentinelle des Pyrenees mentions a daring act of 43
mounted Carlists, who arrived on the 13th instant in a village
called Quijorna, within five leagues and a half of Madrid, dis-
armed the National Guards, pillaged several houses, mal-
treated some women, and carried off the Alcade (from whom
they demanded a ransom of 10,000 reals), a Colonel, another
officer, and some persons from Avila. Maroto was at Aburaza
with eight battalions, and, in advancing upon Navarre, his in-
tention was said to have been to join Garcia's corps at Ma-
iieru, and afterwards to march upon the Carrascal. Both

corps mustered an effective force of twelve battalions. Basilic.,

succeeded the capuchin friar Ignacio Larraga as the Prince's
confessor, and this change is said to have led to the dismissal
of the present Carlist Ministry, who are to be replaced by the
monks Cyrille, Erro, and Ramirez de la Pizina. A Christine
sergeant, at the head of two picked companies, had recently
advanced a league and a half from St. Sebastian into the in-
terior, where he surrounded a party of Chapelchurris. killing
eleven of them, taking twenty-two prisoners, two officers in'
eluded, and subsequently marching his party back without loss.
The Carlist prisoners were afterwards plentifully supplied With
rations at St. Sebastian.

The negotiations between the Austrian and Turkish Go-
vernments for the formation of the canal which is to re-open
partly one of the ancient mouths of the Danube, and partly t°
make a new channel, are stated in the Franconian Nero'll
to be going on with activity. Austria undertakes the Wen'
tion of this important work, which is to commence
below Rassowa, on the Danube, close to Csernavoda and will
proceed thence in a straight line to Lake Lorazo, tit'
mately into the Black Sea at Kustendji, where a port is t°
established. The expense of the works will be, no doubt,
immense, but the corresponding advantages will be great. Thed
distance of the navigation to the Black Sea will be shorten°
70 or 80 German miles, and the existence of the canal,
bined with the new Austro- English commercial treaty,
operate a great change in the trade of the Danube. of
The opening of the lectures of M. Lerminier, Professor
ie
the History of Comparative Legislation at the College
~o
France, gave rise yesterday to a scene of great disorder. I,PO
hall was filled long before the arrival of the Professor, wu
immediately on his appearance was received with unaniogni
hisses, which were continued with such constancy and fora'
that M. Lerminier's voice was completely drowned ; and
not-
withstanding that he persevered for a quarter of an hour, "
a litt.ll
was ultimately forced to quit the chair.
The Moniteur of Wednesday removes by the following P"
ragraph all the fears to which the resolve of the Governmel
to instal M. Lerminier by force at the College of Franceb
given rise on Tuesday :
" An order of the Minister of Public Instruction, dad
this 27th of November, 1838, suspends provisionally the lec*
tures of M. Lerminier at the College of France."
The Courrier Francais states that the Minister of the MI
rine has transmitted to the Maritime Prefect of Rochefort It'
order to fit out three vessels, with provisions for six mont4sl.
Their destination is at prtsent a mystery; and the office°
who are to take command of them, are awaiting their I°-
structions.
