MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 21.)

SIIGAR.—Today full rates were obtained tor most
sorts of West India Sugar, on the part of home dealers
not much desire was evinced to make purchases. The
public sales of 170 hhds and 6 tree Barbadoes went nt
steady prices; low yellow at 37s to 37s 6d, middling 38s
to 395, good to fine 39s 6d to 41s per cwt. The market
for raw Sugor closes quiet.
RAPESEED.—Today Refined Sugar met with less de-
mand for home trade purposes, still refiners were firm,
and good brown lumps could not be obtained under 49s
per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for full rates,
and is wanted.

MAIIIIITIIIS.—Tbis afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar submitted to public competition amounted to 1,640
bags. There was not much desire evinced to operate,
and former rates were barely supported; good yellow
went at 395,:middling 37s 6d to 38s 6d, low 36s to 375,
good and fine brown 34s 6d to 365, middling 33s 6cl to
345, fair to good grey 36s to 38s 6d.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon grocery sorts of Madras
were in limited request only, and 2,000 bags at auction
only partly found buyers at about the former value; good
and fine strong white went at 43s to 445 6d, mid. 4b to
425., and fine soft yellow 39s to 39s 6d. 1,500 bags
of other sorts all sold, but at rather lower rates; ordinary
and middling soft brown went at 30s to 325, good and fine
32s 6d to ads 6d, ordinary yellow 33s 6d to 345, and

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, but several parcels are declared. By private
treaty few buyers to be met with, and sales can be made
upon rather lower terms.'
MOLASSES.—Prices keep on the decline for West
India, and buyers operate with caution; the stock also
continues to get larger. The sales are confined to
150 puns, chiefly good Antigua, at 18s 61 per cwt. In
East India Molasses few sales have been made, and
sellers are willing to accept 15s to 16s per cwt. Honey
has advanced in value.

a few lots fine 703 to 71s, and pea berry 59s 6d to 65s
per cwt.

TEA.—Congou, large sales have been made, whilst
holders display much firmness, and higher rates are likely
to prevail. We quote ordinary and good common quality
at 81c1 to 9d, mixed blackish leaf 934 to 10d,
blackish leaf lld to is Old, ditto strong Is ld to is 31d,
fine and Pekoe flavour is 4d to is 10d per lb. Green

cluded in all sorts, whilst an advance is likely to take
place. Public sales of tea will be declared shortly, yet
large parcels will not be brought forward.
RICE.—To-day East India met with less attention
privately, and at auction 2,400 bags white Bengal were
taken in at 103 for good mid white rather broken and
dusty, being the full value.
SPIRITS.—OnIy small purchases have been made in
Leeward Island Rum, and a fall in the value has taken
place; the price is is 4id to Is 5d proof, and on the part
of holders a desire has been evinced to sell. East India
is not much wanted, and prices are receding; only 250
puns have been sold at is 3d to is 31d proof. A good
demand has been experienced in Demerara, but at
rather lower rates, and the sales are 300 puns at is Ild
to 2s 3d for 30 to 40 per cent over proof. 'rho lower
starts of Jamaica have been dealt in with greater freedom
by shippers and home dealers, still better rates are not
to be obtained. About 250 puns have been sold at 2s Gd
to 2s 9d for 30 to 36 per cent overproof. A fair business
has been concluded in the better kinds at 2s 10,1 to 3s 4d,
and choice marks at 3s 6d to 4s, of the latter the supply
continues to get smaller. Former advanced rates are well
supported for Brandy, and the home trade demand has
been active. A further rise is also expected to take
place, and prices rule as follow=; Cognac best brands of
the vintage of 1815 at 3s 101 to 4s, 1847 ditto at 45.4 d
to 4s 6d, 1846 ditto 4a 6d to 4s Bd, 1845 ditto 5s 8d to

chases to a fair extent have been made by exporters ard
home dealers, while the rates paid are fully equal to the
last quarterly auctions. For Spanish the demand is

GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.

The Deutsche Zeitung announces the condemnation
and execution, at Rastadt, of M. Boning, one of the
leaders of the Baden insurrection. He was shot on
the 17th instant. M. Boning was a native of the
duchy of Nassau, and the oldest of the insurgent
chiefs. He was the leader of the Swiss Free Corps,
and equally implicated in the former insurrections
which had disturbed the peace of the Grand Duchy
of Baden. The same paper announces the execution
of Charles Hofer, a schoolmaster from Altendorf, who
was shot at Mannheim on the 16th inst. He too had
been a leader of the Badish insurgents, and by his
terrorism he compelled the population of his district
to enlist in the revolutionary army, and oppose the
advance of the Prussian troops.

1-11-JN GA RY.
We have received a letter from our Hungarian
correspondent, dated Szegedin, the 24th of July.
This communication, which we give below, puts us, at
last, in possession of a clear and coherent account of
Hungarian operations from the 6th to the 24th of
that month. It disposes of the rubbishy bulletin
attributed to Dembinski and to others of a similar
stamp, which previously and since have issued from
the Hamburg mint. It shows us the real position
and prospects of Dembinski up to the 24th of last
month; and by recapitulating the antecedents of
Georgey, confirms and explains the account of his
victory over Grabbe on the 28th of July. That
victory is, we see, now admitted by the Vienna
papers. The Ost Deutsche Presse of the 15th of
August states, that it has learned on good authority,
" that General Grabbe has been driven back upon
Comorn by Georgey."
From the 24th of July darkness again falls over
the events in the region of Szegedin, and from the
28th upon those in the vicinity of Onod. We stated
yesterday our reasons for suspecting the bulletins of
sth and Bth of August, attributed to Haynau, to be
apocryphal. Intelligence respecting Georgey, which
we have since received by way of Warsaw, appears
to us of an equally questionable character, but our
duty as impartial chroniclers of the news f the day
is to communicate what we hear, warning our readers
whenever we may entertain doubts as to its correct-
ness.

According to the Warsaw intelligence, a great
battle had been fought at Nagy-Karoly, between
Georgey and Paskiewitch, in which the Russians had
the better, and took 6,000 prisoners. The date of
this battle is not specified in our despatches, but it
would appear to have taken place (if it all) about the
9LII of August. Nagy-Karoly is about fifty English
miles E.N.E. of Debreczin, and seventy to the S.E.
of Tokay. Georgey is represented as retreating before
Grabbe and Osten Sacken, in a southerly direction,
while Tcheodajeff, with the 4th corps, preceded Pas-
kiewitch, through Debreczin, to cut him off from the
road to Grosswardein. Nagy-Karoly is the point at
which the roads from Debreczin and Tokay meet,
and no doubt Gorgey would be, if defeated. as the
last Russian bulletin gives out, compelled to fall back
on Transylvania by the road of Nemethi Szatmar and
Nagy- Banya.
One reason why we suspect this news to be fabri-
cated is the utter want of any apparent motive for
Gorgey to advance to Nagy Karoly. Another is the
fact that while our Warsaw informant attributes to

this reported victory the 101 guns fired at` Varsav;
on the 13th of August, and the orders issued to sing
Te Deunz in all the churches of the empire, the
Vienna jeurnals which notice these rejoicings either
specify no cause for them, or attribute them to the
victory claimed by the Ruisians for Luder over Beni.

His Excellency M. Van de Weyer, Minister
Plenipotentiary for Belgium, and the Countess of Van-
2ent•erg, arrived on Saturday at St. Katberirm's-wharf
by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship
Triton from Ostend.
