MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London Neu; Price Current, Sept. 25.)
SUGAR —To-day the market was much better supplied
with free-labour sugar, and as merchants were desirous
to realise, prices gave way for most descriptions. In
consequence of a reduction on former rases of 6d per
cwt having been submitted to for West India
a good business was concluded in both grocery and
refining sorts. The purchases amounted to 950 hhds
and trcs, including at public sale 160 hhds Barbadoes,
which went at 39s Gd to 41s 6d for fine and superior
yellow, and at 37s to 38s for ordinary to good. Ot other
sorts 222 hhds 33 trs and 354 brls were offered,
and sold ; Jamaica, fine brown at 365, low and middling
yellow 363 6d to 37s 6d, good 38s to 395; St Kitts,
low and good yellow 36s to 38, flue brown 35s 6i ;
Nevis, good yellow 38s; Tortols, low and good yellow
35s 6d to 38s, brown 34s to 355, and St Martins, yellow
38s to 393 63 per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day the purchases made in Refined

Ino improvement took place. For Bonded Crushed
Sugar the market has a quiet aspect, and sellers are
ready to accept former rates.
DIAURITIUS.—This afternoon two parcels of Mauri-
tius Sugar were offered at public sale, amounting to
3,713 bags; there was less desire to operate, and not
above half sold at a decline on last week's rates of 6d
per cwt; prices ruled as follows:—Fine yellow at 39s to
39s 63, middling and good yellow 37s to 38s 6d, low 35s
6d to 36s 6d, fine brown 34s 6d to 35s 6d, middling and

low to good grey 34s to 38s.

than half found purchasers at a decline on former rates
of Cd pct. cwt. For whites prices ruled from 39s to 425,

been 500 puns, Sr. Kitt's, St. Vincent's and Trinidad at
15s 6d to 16s 6d, and fine Antigua 18s to 18s 6d per cwt;
indeed some parties will not sell at these rates. Bengal
Treacle has been dealt in with greater freedom at 15s
to 15s 6d per cwt., and on the part of holders there is
firmness ; the quantity on offer is also less than is the
former week.

better supplied, and there are sellers at rather lower
grices, still few buyers are to be met with, and the
trade has a dill aspect. For ordinary and middling
sorts of Congou there is still a brisk demand, and
former rates are well supported I the business con-
cluded in good and fine has been limited, and
easier rates are acceded to. In scented and black leaf FOREIGN-OFFICE, SEPT. 25, 1849. Pekoe few sales have been made, and there are sellers

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 24.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS )
IN RE HORATIO CLAGGETT.
This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Lucas, on the
part of Mr. Marks and Mr. Lawrence Levy. Mr.
Cooke, with Mr. Sargood, supported.
Upon examination by the opposing Counsel, the
insolvent stated that he had been "out of the way "
for the last eighteen months. Ile had been insolvent
before, in 1836, and again in 1845, on which last oc-
casion his debts were 27,000/. The debts in the
present schedule were about 4,0001. In July, 1847,
had borrowed 2001. of Mr. Levy, and gave a judge's
order at the time. Did not then tell Mr. Levy that
he wanted the money to pay some tradesmen's bills,
which were the only debts he owed. He had bor-
rowed 100/. of Mr. Marks, but did not say that the
money was to buy up an annuity. The furniture in
his house at St. John's wood, and the carriage and
horses, were the property of his wife, who la I an
annuity of 3,000/. a year.
In reply to Mr. CooiE, the insolvent said he had
borrowed the money of the opposing creditors at the
rate of 60 and 40 per cent. • • • •
The Learned COMMISSIONER asked how the insol-
vent could expect to keep out of difficulties if he
raised money at that rate ?
Mr. LUCAS said he was instructed that 101. only
had been deducted by Mr. Levy from the 2001. bill.
The Learned Counsel was about to address the Court
upon the case, when
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS invited the opposing
counsel to produce bis clients, that they might (if they
could) disprove the insolvent's assertion of their having
taken such interest.
Mr. LUCAS replied that his clients had asked him
if they could absent themselves for a short time, and
he had consented, believing that the case would not
come on so soon.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought their attend.
ance so important that he let the matter stand by for
a short time to enable them to attend.
The case was accordingly suspended for an hour
and a half, at the expiration of which time
Mr. Lucas announced that the opposing creditors
1 had not arrived, and admitted that the insolvent had
! been correct in stating Mr. Levy's rate of interest,
101. having been deducted from the bill of 2001. at
one month. At the same time he could not see why,
when the law allowed it, such opprobrium should be
cast upon a man upon 60 per cent. upon hard money,
while a west-end tradesman was allowed to charge
300 per cent. profit upon goods without complaint.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS did not refuse to
grant the creditors what the law allowed them, but
at the same time he thought that a person who took
60 per cent. interest could have but slender hope of
ever getting his principal.
Mr. COOKE said the insolvent had already paid
away large sums to persons of the class who now
opposed him. He had been left a fortune of 60,0001.
or 70,0001. from his father, which, as well as a large
portion of his wife's income, had gone that way, as he
had been sued continually upon an annuity transac-
tion, which was now fortunately terminated by the
bankruptcy of the grantee.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said that no case bad
been made out against the insolvent, and it would be
fur the insolvent's own benefit that the Court should
say no more. He could not understand any excuse
for a gentleman borrowing money at the rate of 60
per cent. discount, and it was a practice the Court
could not look upon with approbation. As no case
had been established, the insolvent was entitled to
the benefit of the Act and to his discharge forthwith
