MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

- -
(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 28.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a fair buiiness concluded
in the West India Sugar market fir both grocery and
refining purposes, but holde?s are compelled to take
former terms for all sorts : at auction 165 hhds Barba-
does wentjwith fair spirit at firm rates; low and middling
yellow realized 37s 6d to 395, and good to fine 39s 6d to
40s 6d per cwt. _

REFINk.D.—To-day Refined Sugar met with a good
home-trade demand, and the market was firm; the sup-
ply has also become small. Sales of brown Lumps
were made at 49s to 498 6d, and fair grocery at 50. to
50s 6d per cwt. Bohdcd Crushed Sugar is unalterd in
value.

DIAUBITIUS.—This afternoon four parcels of Mauri-
tius tiu,gar were 011 red at public sale, amounting to
11,754 bags. There was a slackness in the biddings,
and prices declined 6d per cwt; rather more than half
found buyers, fine yellow at 394 to 40w, middling and
good 37s to 38s 6d, low 36s to 368 6d, ordinary to good
grey 35s 6d to 38s 6d, low and very ordinary brown 298
(
to 33a, middling 33s 6d to 34a, and good to fine 34s 6d
to 35s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market; was more
freely supplied with Bengal Sagar: the quantity offered
at public sale amounted to 4,610 bags ; there was
not much desire evinced to operate, and
the rates taken were rather under thou
current on Friday, but the chief part avid ; su.

probability of their completing their line within the
estimate proposed by the engineer.
From the accounts of the receipts and expenditure,
it appeared that the total receipts were 473.6651.85. 4d.,
and the expenditure was 468,4591. 14s. 7d., leaving a
balance in hand of 5,20`,;/. 13s. 9d.
The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question from a
shareholder, stated that he expected the line would be
open by April or May next.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman and direc-
tors, and the meeting separated.

NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND

HEREFORD RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The sixth ordinary half•yearly meeting of this
company was advertised to take place to. day at the
London Tavern, at twelve o'clock. At one o'clock
there not being a sufficient number of shareholders
present to constitute a meeting it was adjourned
sine die.

The following report of the directors was intended
to be submitted to the meeting had it been formed :
" The directors have, upon this occasion, but little to
report to the proprietors, inasmuch as their attention has
been confined to a reduction of the several unpaid ac-
counts of the company as they hare been respectirdy
applied for, and in a supervision of the working of the
Lb.cvihangel, Grosmont, and Hereford trare-roads—the
revenue of which has been appled to paying off
the interest on the balance of the purchase•money
under the agreements which have been entered
into with these • companies —as explained at
the last meeting. The balance of the purchase•raoney
is 28,730€, mad the annual interest thereon is 1.4361. 10s.
which the directors hope will be met out of the future
revenues of the tram-roads; and the shareholders are
already aware, that under these agreements, this
company has the option of paying off the balance
of purchase-money in July, 1851, or of then can-
celling the purchase, and torfeiting the money already
paid. Since the last meeting of shareholders, arrears of
call have been received, amounting to 2,4551. 10s. As
was anticipated in the last report of the directors, the
lines, north of llereford, are assuming active progress,
and it cannot be too strongly impressed on the share-
holders, that the value of their property will become
greatly enhanced by the completion of those lines to
Hereford. It will be satisfactory to the meeting to be
informed, that the bill in Chancery which had been filed
against this company by the Rhymney Railway Com-
ewnit,thadsrawwneil

tmoent of the deposit of 10,0001. abandoned, on payment
by this company of the costs of the suit. The costs of
all parties therein will not exceed 260/. The
shareholders will perceive by the annexed
statement, the ascertained accounts unsettled, includ•
ing the above 260/, are reduced to 1,4581 2s. 6d., to meet
which, and the balance due to the bankers, there are
arrears of call to the amount of 22,2614 on 7,835 shares.
and which may be estimated to produce 6,0001; be-
yond which there is a sum of 1,3231. 10s. 3d. cash at
the bankers. The directors have only further to add.
that in addition to the entire relinquishment of their own
annual allowances, and a previous reduction of the
secretary's salary, they have succeeded in a further re-
duction of the office expenses of the company, to the
extent of 2301. per annum, to take effect from the 29th
September next; whilst under this arrangement they
will still retain the services of the secretary."
