MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From, the London New Price Current of yesterday. )
SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was much sought
after for home consumption, but a further advance being
demanded operated against business, purchases are 200,
making for the week 2,o77hhds and tierces at an advance
of 6d and in some cases of is per cwt.
REFINED,—To-day large purchases were made in refined
sugar for home consumption ; brown lumps at 465, and
low to fine grocery 46s 6d to 49s per cwt. In crushed
sugar little doing for export, with sellers at previous
prices.
EAST INDIA—To-day several purchases were made pri-
vately in Bengal sugar, and rates closed 6d to is per cwt
above this day week. In auction 1,400 bags were sold,
good and fine white Benares at 38s to 395, ord grainy white
41s to 41s 6d, good and fine yellow ditto 38s to 40s, and
brown from 30s to 345.

FOREIGN.— -To-day there were several buyers of foreign
sugar for export, but stiffer rates being demanded caused
private operations to be of little moment, and not any was
offered at auction.

COFFEE.—To-day the market for Mocha Coffee presented
a dull aspect. Of 78 bales and 960 half bales in auction a
s small part only sold, mid to clean garbled at 69s 6d to
725, ungarbled 48s to 50s, and ord Triage 39s to 44s 6d;
these are barely former rates.
TEA.—There is no decided advance for better sorts of
congou, yet the market is firm, and large transactions have
taken place; rather blackish leaf to blackish leaf at 11Pd
to is ld, strong to pekoe kinds is 16d to is 9d, end choice
is 10d to 2s 2d, but chiefly at 1s to is 6cl per lb.
RICE.—To-day several parcels of East India rice wore
sold privately, and at rates fully 3d per cwt above last
week. At auction 2,000 bags Bengal sold at ios 6d for
mid, and at 10s 6d to 11s for good mid white. Of Tapioca
80 barrels went at 3d to 3id per pound.
COCOA.—To-day prices declined for West India Cocoa ;
and at auction 272 bags Trinidad were sold at 30s 6d to
33s 6d for grey, and at 34s to 34s 6d for ord red.
OlLS.—There is only a limited demand for linseed oil ;
the value is 28s to 28s 3d on the spot, and at 28s 6d to 28s
9d for delivery. The limited transactions in seal have been
at lower prices, pale selling at 33/. to 341. ; yellow and
straw, 31/. to 321., and brown 30/. to 301. 10s. per tun.
SPlRlTS.—Although a further reduction has been sub-
mitted to for East India Rum, yet purchases have been on
a small scale at is 9d proof, and there is an increasing sup.
ply. In Leeward Island little has been done—prices ars
on the decline, and rule at is 9Ad to is 10d proof.
TALLOW.—The excitement in the market continues to
increase, and prices rapidly to advance. Fine yellow
Russian on the spot has realised 47s 6d. to 48s 6cl, and 48s
to 48s 3d per cwt. for the last three months of the year, at
which extensive transactions have taken place.

AT ROTHERHITHE.

On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn
until Monday next,
Sir J. WALMSLEY said it would be in the recol-
lection of the house that when he put a question a few
days ago to the Government respecting the seizure of
rockets at Rotherhithe, he received an intimation that
legal proceedings on the subject were then pending.
Since then he had received a communication from M.
Kossuth, in which he unequivocally stated that he had
no connection either directly or indirectly with the manu-
facture of warlike stores or arms in this country. Other
statements had been publicly made on the same
subject, and they were gaining general credence in the
metropolis greatly to the injury of the reputation of M.
Kossuth. He therefore wished to ask the noble lord
the Secretary for the Home Department, whether the
legal investigation into the seizure of arms or warlike
stores at Rotherhithe, had resulted in substantiating the
charges or insinuations that Louis Kossuth was con-
nected therewith ; and, whether the police had been
employed to watch the residence of Louis Kossuth or
the houses of other political refugees.
Lord PALMERSTON said the house was aware that
one of the proceedings before the Bow-street Magistrate
with regard to the seizure of gunpowder was closed, and
that a decision had been given, and that, with regard
to the other case as to the rockets, the magistrate
interrupted the proceedings, and stated that he thought
the case ought to be sent before another tribunal. The
honourable gentleman had asked him what was the
result of this latter proceeding as regarded certain im-
putations which had been cast upon M. Kossuth.
Now he really could do no more than say, that that
which had hitherto passed in regard to these proceedings
was now before the public, and that every man was in a

SOUTH• W ESTERN RAILWAY.—The chief proposition
to be submitted to the proprietors on the 19th May is to
sanction opposition to the Devon and Dorset scheme,
promoted by the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter.
Should that opposition be successful, it is intended to
renew the rejected extension to Exeter ; but, the board
being divided on the subject, and the shareholders having
twice, within the last twelve months, refused to enter-
tain thew übject,
reties is not anticipated that the meeting
will agr to a al of hostilities.

SOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only
indispensably reauisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes,
but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly
conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari-
ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or
Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing,
purifying, an] preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre-
pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this
country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to
eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the
gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its
aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is
important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre-
vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and diseoloura-
tion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri-
bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth. Price 2s.
9d. per box.
Caarriox.—The words " Rowlands' Odonto are on the Label, and
"A. Bowlani and Son, 20, Hatton-garden," engraved on the Govern-
ment Stamp affixed on each box. Sold by them and by Chemists

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was
chiefly the refuse of 'Monday, and in very middling condi-
tion. Owing to the change in the weather, the demand
for all breeds ruled steady, and, in some instances, the
primest lots produced a trifle more money. We were but
moderately supplied with sheep, in which a fair average
business was transacted, at extreme rates. The best old
Downs, in the wool, were worth quite 5s 2d per 8 lbs.
From the Isle of Wight, 220 lambs came fresh to hand ;
but the supply from other quarters was far from extensive.
The trade was by no means active, at from 5s to 6s per
8 lbs. Calves—the number of which was good—moved off
slowly, and the currencies had a downward tendency.
Pigs changed hands at late figures.
ilch cows were in fair request, at from 151. to 191. each,
including their small calf.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--The accounts of an improved system of com-
pound metallic pavement which the London papers have
recently represented as having been introduced with such
success into various cities of the United States, possess.
ing the advantages of freedom from noise, mud, or dust,
led us to hope for the adoption of some such im-
provement in this metropolis, where evils of this
nature have been so long complained of as not
only offensive to passengers, expensive to ratepayers,
but highly injurious to the goods of most of our
shopkeepers in this street, when we have been alter-
nating from granite to M'Adani, and from M'Adam to
Wood, for a series of years. We have now granite
again, in the shape of an alleged improvement of blocks,
placed in diagonal rows, a specimen of which has but just
been completed. Notwithstanding this alleged improve-
ment, large ruts and holes are already making their ap-
pearance in many portions of the street, which must lead
to fresh disturbances in the way of relaying, and, con:
sequently, fresh expenses to ratepayers, and incon-
venience to passengers.
We are in the habit of priding ourselves in this
country on our common sense ; but, for a practical
people, we are slow in opening our eyes to the importa-
tion of any novelty outside the old rut of routine, whe-
ther from vulgar errors or national prejudices. It is to
be hoped, however, that by the aid of the press, which
gave us this information, the scruples of even parochial
boards, and others interested in confirmed abuses, some
of your more intelligent readers may be induced
to open their eyes to the evils of our paving system, and
to prevail upon those who have control in such matters
to follow the example of our Transatlantic brethren, in
this improved mode of " mending their ways," and who
in this, as in many other instances, have proved them-
selves less scrupulous of a dread of novelty and innova-
tion than the inhabitants of more ancient European
States. Trusting also that we may have your powerful
aid for this purpose:7-1 remain, sir, your obedient ser-
vant,

merchandise on freight.

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was
chiefly the refuse of Monday, and in very middling condi-
tion. Owing to the change in the weather, the demand
for all breeds ruled steady, and, in some instances, the
primest lots produced a trifle more money. We were but
moderately supplied with sheep, in which a fair average
business was transacted, at extreme rates. The best old
Downs, in the wool, were worth quite 5s 2d per 8 lbs.
From the Isle of Wight, 220 lambs came fresh to hand ;
but the supply from other quarters was far from extensive.
The trade was by no means active, at from 5s to 6s per
8 lbs. Calves—the number of which was good—moved off
slowly, and the currencies had a downward tendency.
Pigs changed hands at late figures.
Milch cows were in fair request, at from 151. to 191. each,
including their small calf.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 3,000
were taken for export. The market closed tamely,
and the tendency of prices was in favour of buyers.
The sales comprised 1,400 Pernam and Maranham,
at 6d. to 71d. ' • 20 Bahia, at eid. ; 100 Egyptian
1,800 Surat, at 32d. to 4/d. ; and 150 Sea Island,;
at 2s. to 2s. 6d. per lb. The Railway Share Mar-
ket was very animated, and prices advanced ma-
terially.
In the produce markets there has been a mode-
rate business done this week. Sugar has been 6d.
lower, and coffee has been rather cheaper, tho ugh
firmer yesterday. Rice has been in moderate de-
mand, saltpetre well supported, cotton quiet, but
steady. Indigo at full rates, cochineal in excellent
demand, and Madras rice more inquired after.
Spices have rather tended upwards, and tea has
been active. Tallow firm.

All accounts corroborate the statement of the
danger to which the currant crops abroad are ex-
posed. Messrs. Witherby and Hanson report as
follows :

" Much apprehension and alarm concerning the fate
of the forthcoming crop of currants continue to pervade
all the places of growth, from not one of which is there
a favourable report. Exorbitant prices had been offered
and refused fur 1852 fruit ; prices which, considering the
doubtful and perishable character of the fruit, and the
lateness of the season, could be warranted only by well-
grounded fears of the recurrence of the disease. The
opinion was gaining ground that, as has been the case in
Italy and elsewhere, this visitation will be of three years
duration in Greece. By the end of this month or early
in May, we may look for some positive intelligence."
The official returns of the Trade and Navigation
of the United Kingdom have been completed for
the month ended the sth ultimo. Referring to the
imports, we find an increase in coffee, wheat, flour,
potatoes, flax, clover seed, palm oil, pepper, brandy,
Geneva, foreign timber, tobacco, wine, wool, cot-
ton, and hides.

The articles which exhibit a decrease compared
with the corresponding month of 1852, are fruits,
eggs, flax seed, raw silk, rum, sugar, tea, and
tallow.

The exports of the month ending the sth March
are as under :

1853..
1852..

£6,272,649
5,353,552

Increase £919,097
The articles which show an increase are beer,
cotton manufactures, glass, haberdashery, linen
manufactures, iron, copper, silks, and woollens.
A decrease occurred in cotton yarn.

We have received the Madrid journals of the

the sitting of the Senate which they contain having
been given yesterday from an express Communica-
