MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, July 27.)

Sugar..—To-day importers of West India Sugar were
disposed to submit to any further reduction, yet the
demand was limited both for the scale and refining pur-
po es. The purchases amouoted to 400, making for the
week 2,000 lihels, &1., and the decline in prices during
thit time has been 6d per cwt.
REFD:ED.—To-day there was more business doing in
Refined Sugar for home trade purposes, but at former
rates there are free sellers. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
in excellent request at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt.

of Mauritius Sugar, and by private treaty only small
purchases were made : at former rates there are free
sellers.

with little attention, and a small part only of 3,860 bags
at public sale found buyers at barely former rates; good

, MOLASSES.—For West India the demand has been
extremely limited by private treaty, and prices are on

and the best realize above 20s per cwt. At auction 22
puns of St. Vincents were taken in at 183. East India

These bulletins are in a manner explained b"BEy
following news from Constantinople : „
"On the 21st of June, General Liilers took D-r 2
stadt, after a violent contest with 400 Hungarians that
had been left in that town. After taking Kronstadt, ,_
Russians marched upon Hermanstadt. The Hungarians
advanced to Togarash to meet them. After a bloody battle,
which lasted 36 hours, General Luders being totally de'
feated, retreated to Kronstadt, which city is filled with
the wounded and flying. Another Russian corps, which
was to force an entry from Moldavia into Transylvania
at Aydosh, was likewise roughly handled, and thrown
back into Moldavia."

The following are extracts from a private letter,
dated Vienna, the 20th:—

" BISTRICZ, JUNE 26.

a blow. The enemy retired. I shall go in their pursuit
to-morrow, and I hope to drive them before me.

Bern writes from Bistricz on the 2d 'July, to "'i
e
effect that, after having advanced on the Gres
Sajo, Vasachely, Ujfalu, and Bistricz, he kept
the Russians shut up in the defile near Borg%
without having taken a single man from the
army operating near Carlsburg or against the Wa.
lachians. The Commissioner of the Hungariall.
Government writes from Hermannstadt, under da,'
the 31 July, that the Russians have been forced to
retreat to Cronstadt. Bern was preparing to attack
that city on the Bth or i:th July
The seat of the Hungarian Government has been
transferred to Arad on the 14th July. This last
circumstance proves the assurance with which 13e.ril
hopes to finish with the Russians in Transylvan't
and, on the other hand, it confirms the defeat
of Jellachich, because if the army of the south
still formidable, the Hungariani Government WOW
never dare to select the city of Arad for its residence'
as it would be between two fires.
