MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Ncw London Price Current of Nov. 4.)

St:GAL—The importers of West India raw Sugar have sub-
mitted to a reduction of the former rates of Is. a Is. 6d. for
the brown, and 6d. for the mid. and fine yellow descriptions,
but without having occasioned any increase of business, for
the Market has been in a very languid state, and the purchases
chiefly confined to the grocery descriptions, and for these sorts
the request has been extremely moderate ; the refiners have
only in a few instances, owing to the depressed state
of the refined trade, made their appearance in the
Market ; Jamaica of good dry brown, and mid. grey qua-
lities has been sold at 625., 635. 6d. for good mid. yellow and
grey, and 645. 6d. a 655. 6d. for good and fine mid, yellow
-Antiguas ; a public sale of 100 hhds. Barbadoes is advertised
for Tuesday; the arrivals this year have been 8,190 hhds. and
1,880 trs. and brls. less than they were in 1835, but owing to
the great deficiency there has been in the deliveries this season,
there being 23,000 hhds. less than in 1835, the stock rather ex-
ceeded that of last year. This week there have been no ar-
rivals ; the difference now in the " Gazette" average price is
barely 4s. per cwt.
This afternoon the Market for British Plantation continued
in a state of great dulness, and in some instances even rather
lower prices were submitted to; the sales to-day were only
300 hhds., good yellow Antiguas sold at 675., good grey 615.,
Tobagos low brown 60s. 6d., Jamaica good brown 61s. 6d.
The quantity sold for the week amounts only to 1,600 hhds.
and trs.

We have still to report a dull and declining market for all
descriptions of Refined goods, both the grocers and shippers
having purchased with great reluctance, although the refiners
have submitted to a reduction on the rates of this day week of
Is. a 2s. ; small sales of double Crushed made at 425. 6d., or
83s. 6d., long price for Lumps entitled to the double bounty ;
large Lumps have been sold to the home trade at 80s. a 81s.,
and small ones at 82s. a 83s. There are very few goods in
the hands of the makers, and such is the languor that has for
some time past and still prevails in this branch of trade, that
some of the refiners have come to the determination to relin-
quish the business altogether. Bastards are not in request,
and are offered at 2s. a 3s. decline ; Treacle is not cheaper,
but the demand has been extremely moderate this week. A
reduction of 2s. has been submitted to for the Dutch Crushed
Sugar ; 40s. has been accepted for 75 hhds.
This afternoon reduced prices were again submitted to for
Refined goods ; small parcels of double Crushed sold at 425.,
or S3s. long price for fine Lumps. Dutch Crushed is offering
out from Holland at 38s.

MAURITIUS.—The limited demand which has existed by pri-
vate contract has been at a decline ; a large parcel is offering
at a reduction from the highest point of the market of 65., is.,
good yellow at 635. a 645., but without meeting with buyers ;
there have been no public sales. 4,000 bags more have been
received this year than last ; of the stock now on hand,
amounting to 36,000 bags, full half is held by one importer,
and the remainder principally by the dealers. We are still
without arrivals, and no public sale is advertised for the ensu-
ing week.
EAST INDlA.—There are still no buyers of Siam, Manilla,
or Java, and prices remain nominal ; the demand for Bengal
has been to a very moderate extent at rather lower prices
than those of last week, and the grocers are almost the ex-
clusive buyers, prices being still too high to admit of ex-
port orders to any extent being executed. This after-
noon the request for Bengal Sugar continued moderate,
and the public sale amounting to 1,550 bags, the sound
were all taken in, there being no buyers within 2s. a 3s. of
the taking in prices, low brown bought in at 255., good and
fine strong brown 28s. a 295., good yellow 30s. 6d. ; the da-
maged went cheap, washed in fair condition sold at 255. a 265.
FOREIGN.—The Market is in a dull state, there being but
few buyers at present rates, whilst on the other hand holders
generally are not inclined to accept lower prices than they did
last week, although in some instances Is. decline has been sub-
mitted to for yellow Havannah, a small parcel of good having

been disposed of at 275. 6d. a 285., which is the only busines
done this week by private contract in the absence of public sales.
MOLASSES.-West India have declined in value Is., and the
demand has bcen very moderate, and confined to some parcels o.
good Antig as 31s. a 325., thekater now the highest point
of the Market.
TALLOW.-The demand for Tallesv for consumption has
been vary extensive and general, and the prices are firm on the
spot at 455. 6d. a 455. 9d. for St. Petersbrugh Yellow Candle ;
there has been a good deal of business done for delivery up to
the end of December, as well as the springinonths, at 455. 9d.;
it is supposed that the import of Tallow will be .short this sea-
son, owing to the scarcity of sbip-room, and in :le supply °f
our home produce there is a falling off. The dclivori
first three days this week, have been 1,500 casks for consumption.
TAR.-Three cargoes of Stockholm have been d.io.posed of
at 14s. 3d. a 14s. 6d. es for the
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Brady has b,?en
good request for home consumption, and for arrival much b -
u
siness has been done. Geneva is taken very sparingly at' is.
I ld. for the best. English, Irish, and Scotch raw ..Spirits
have advanced 6d., and there has been a good request at Itig.
6d. Rum remains firm in price, but the demand continues to
be much checked owing to the small quantity held by the inst.'
porters, and the business done has been confined to 200 puns.-
Demerara and Leewards, 5 to 6 per cent. over at 2s. 9d., 7
to 3 over 2s. 10d., 9to 10 over 35., 11 to 12 over 3s. 2d., 27
over 4s. 5d., 30 to 36 over 4s. 7d. a 4s. Bd. ; the samples of
the last cargo of Jamaica not having yet come to hand, not
any business has been done this week in that article ; there
have been no arrivals since our last, but a few parccls are re-
ported off the coast.
SPICES.-The small parcel of 22 chests Cassia Lib
of-
fered at auction went at steady prices, mid thiq gal sold at
61s. 6d., and ord. coarse at 58s. 6d.; there is scarcely any,de-
mend by private contract. Pimento has been taken in limited
parcels only, but at easier rates there are not sellers ; th.e pro-
duction of this article is calculated to exceed considcrab,ly the
consumption. The holders of Pepper have refused to sell,
excepting at fully former rates, but there is still little requ est,
end 951 bags 88 robins Malabar, intended for public sale, w ere
withdrawn. There is not much doing in Nutmegs, but under
7s. 2d. a 7s. 3d. there are not tellers of good consumers. T.be
Cinnamon sales announced for the 14th amount to 1,577 bale s.
A public sale of 1,900 bags Malabar Ginger is announced fcr
Monday the 14th.
COFFEE. -Coffee is rather lower in price.
Paovisums.-Irish Butter, 106 s. a 108 s. for Corks, Dub
lin 1065., Waterford 102 s. a 1065., and Limerick 106 s.
Dutch has been short, and the quality indifferent, sales of the
best Friezland made at 108 s. a 110 s., and other sorts from
945. a 106 s.

Some of our Contemporaries have announced the
death of Jack, the celebrated ourang-outang of the Garden
of Plants ; but a recent visitor to that establishment informs
us that the statement is wholly unfounded, and that Ja.lk
has merely changed his domicile in the Garden. Our in-
formant adds, that he saw the interesting quadrumanus 'en-
veloped in a blouse, to preserve him from the inclemency of
the weather, to which his tribe is peculiarly sensible.

In consequence of the high price of coals, an at-
tempt is about to be made at Leicester to open a mine,
which is said to exist there, and which, it is presumed, will
render that neighbourhood independent of the north. At
Northampton a shaft has been sulk to the depth of 215
feet, and of these 150 have presented what is called blue
cluncb, which in all previous cases has been found the pre-
cursor of coal, and the speculators are confident of finding a
good vein of coal. In London too, the old legend is re-
vived that, as near town as Blackheath, an excellent field
of coal exists, which has not hitherto been attended to.

A few days ago, at the close of a dinner given by
a mantua-maker of Bordeaux to her sister awl two of ber
apprentices, the whole of the party were seized with vio-
lent pains in the lower part of the stomach, and repeated
vomiting fits. Some medical men who were iminediately
called in, declared that the lady and her guests lvid swal-
lowed poison. The usual remedies were administer ed, and
on the following morning it was discovered that the mantua-
maker had, in mistake, mixed some arsenic, instead of pota-
to-flour, with one or her sauces. The mistake proved fatal
to the hostess, but her guests are in a fair way of recovery.
The disappearance of the late severe frost has been
as sudden and unexpected as its arrival. There was a dif-
ference of above twenty degrees in the general temperature
of Saturday last and that of the following Wednesday.
It was remarked by a magistrate at one of the police.
offices, a day or two since, that on an examination of the
charge books, &c., concerning the number of persons taken
up for intoxication, considerably more than one-half proved
to be journeymen tailors !
Thursday morning a genteel-looking youth called at
house of - Selby, Esq., No. 1, Bryanstoie-square, under
pretence of wishing to speak to the cook. The footman
went below in order to summon her up stairs, and on his
return found that the youth had disappeared, taking riith
him a blue cloth cloak lined with sable, which was hang.'ef
up in the ball, and worth upwards of ten guineas.
The hall in Sergeant's Inn being now devoted to
public business, the Judges and Sergeants dined on Wed-
nesday, being the first day of Term, in the hall of Clifford's
Inn, that Society having, in the most handsome manner, of-
fered to them the use of their hall until the new chamber%
for the Judges, which are now in progress, shall be rebuilt.
The collection at the doors of Winchester Cathedral
last week, after a sermon preached by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, on behalf of the County Hospital, amounted to
the almost unexampled sum on such an occasion of seven
hundred and fourteen pounds!
THE GIRAFFE.—It is remarked as a singularity
in
the history of this interesting animal, that they have never
been known to utter any audible sound, expressive of either
fear,. pleasure, affection, hunger, pain, or any other feeling.
It appears by the departmental Journals that Oct.
weather was extremely severe last week in many parts ,°f
France, and the ground was covered with snow several
in-
ches deep. At Angers, on the 29th ult., the thermometer
at noon marked 7 deg. below Zero, Reaumur, or 16i Fah".

Some days ago two young men, at Clermont Fer"
raud, noted for their dissolute habits, were overheard hold-
ing a conversation, in which one of them appeared to be
endeavouring to dissuade the other from committing suicide'
He did not prevail, for the report of a pistol was irom'
diately afterwards heard, and the most resolute of the tsv,e
was found with parts of both his jaws and the roof of I's
mouth blown away. He was carried to the Hotel Vieth
still breathing, but in a hopeless state. His compel
had fled, but in a few hours afterwards the police receive
information that a similar event had taken pkce at Bughe‘'
and on going to the spot found him totally lit:eless. Mc;
ther suicide has lately occurred at Marseilles. A Jewlso
merchant had been married for several years, an :1 hau„,
child two years old. The union was at first perfectly bern;
but, from unaccountable surmises, the wife became ,i.°:"-dg,
of the husband, and adopted such a line of conduct towe
him that he became alarmed for his life, and sued for a e'e;
paration. In the meantime he obtained a licence to ar:.o
pistols for self-defence. The judgment of separation l'eo.
pronounced, and was about to be served upon the wife, wbd
she and her child were both found dead, the infatuate f
woman having committed murder and suicide by meal's °
the fumes of charcoal.
