MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 28.);
Sucaa.—To-day there was only a limited business
concluded in the West India Sugar market, and rather
lower rates were taken for both grocery and working
kinds. The purchases to-day were 579, making for the
week 2,360 hbds and trcs, and the decline in price for
that time has been 6d to is per cwt. The market for
all sorts of Sugar closes with a quiet aspect.
REFINED.—To-day sale; to a fair extent were made
in refined goods by home dealers, and former rates are
well supported. In bonded crushed Sugar the sales made
are of little moment.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the public sales of 4,800
bags Mauritius Sugar went off flatly, at barely former
rates; brown sold at 33s to 353, yellow 35s 6d to 38s 6,
fine 39s to 40s, and grey 34s to 38s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar submitted to public sale was extensive, and
amounted to 8,4.60 bags. On the part of dealers not
much desire was evinced to make purchases, and only
about half sold at a further decline of 61 per cwt.
Prices ruled as follows:—Yellow like Mauritius realized
from 36s to 40s, low to fine white 38s G 1 to 41s 6d,
grainy brown 37s 6d to 38s 6d, yellow 39s to 44s 6d, and
white 45s to 468. 1,175 casks Ceylon went at 32s to
34s for soft yellow.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was little passing by private
treaty in Foreign Sugar, and at public sale 2j,7
Porto Rico sold at a . t , • - n Ow at
e. 015, ana middling to good 37s 6d to 39s per
cwt.

MOLASSES.—There is still firmness on the part of
holders of West India, and full rates are asked; the
supply at market is moderate. The demand has fallen
off, aid only small parcels have been sold this week at
from 15s 5d to 18s 6d for low to fine quality. Bengal
Treacle is not much in demand, and more desire is
esi ced to sell at 15a to 153 6d.
CocoA.—The inactivity in the market for West India
his further increased, and supplies continue I,large, es-
pecially of inferior sorts. There are sellers rather under
It rm. r rates, but few buyers are to be met with. At
public sale 556 bags of Greneda were nearly all taken in
at 36s to 435, and 50 bags 25 barrels Trinided at 37s to
40s for low to middling grey. The deliveries for home
trade purposes are, however, still larger than the former
year, but the stock is heavier. There are few buyers of
Foreign, and sellers are ready to accept the low rates of
25s to 27s per cwt.
COFFEE.—To- day Coffee met with little attention for
home trade purposes or shipping, and former rates were
barely obtained, although the supply was less than in
the early part of the week. At public sale 172 casks
le2 bags Illantation Ceylon were sold; middling at 57s
to 58s, low middling 50s to 533, other sorts 39s 6d to 49.
6d, pea berry 48s to 535. There are not sellers of good
ordinarn Native under 39s per cwt.
TEA.—Only a limited demand continues to exist for
good and fine Cangou, and sellers are willing to accept
rather lower rates, but ordinary and medium kinds
continuo in excellent request, and realised fully former
terms ; there is also not a better supply. It is
difficult to purchase comman clean under 91
per lb. For Oreeß the market has a quiet aspect,
and most sorts can be purchased upon rather lower terms,
as supplies continue to extend. Scented Teas cannot be
quoted cheaper, but less demand exists.
Ries;.—Te-day at public sale 3,212 bags of Bengal
Rice were for the moat part sold at stiffer rates; making
the advance for the week 6d per cwt, good white realised
Os 61 to 10s.

SALTPETRE.—Former rates are supported for rough,
and sales to a fair extent have been made by private
treaty to supply the wants of shippers and home dealers.
On the part of holder there is firmness, and the
market moderately supplied. At public sale 2,000
bags Calcntta were sold-81- to 3 per cent. re-
fraction at 27s 6d to 28s, and 171 per cent.
at 26s 6d to 27s per owt. Ftt arrival some parcels have
been sold at 27s 6d for 5 per cent, and there are not free
sellers. British Refined meets with a steady sale at
30s 6d to 31s per cwt. Holders of Nitrate of Soda there
is firmness, and sales to a fair extent have been made at
12s to 12s 6d per Cwt.'
COCIIINEAL.—AIthough the supply at market has
been large this week, still full rates have been obtained,
indeed the best sorts of silvers realized a small ad-
vance. There has been a good demand, especially
for Russia, and at auction 550 bags of Hon-
duras silvers were nearly all sold; ordinary went
at 3a 6d to Is Bd, middling and good middling 3s 9d
to 4s, good 4s Id to 4s 3d, fine 4s 4d to 4s 8d; 37 bags of

3s 6d to 3s 8d for ord and mid, and 40 bags of black at
3s 9d to 3s lld per lb. Only small parcels have been
imported this week.
FRIIIT.—Since our last a large business has been done
at an advance of Is. per cwt. The market is well sup-
plied with low and middling qualities, but the stock of
fine Vostizza is reduced to about 30 butts, being the
remainder of the cargo of the " Earl of Leicester,"
which are held for 425. The prices may now be quoted
at 36s for Upper Gulph and new growths, 36s to 37s
for Zante and Cephalonia, 38s for Patras, and 42s for
Vostizza.

hanco.—The quantity declared for public competition
on the 9:h October is 19,691 chests East India. Only
small purchases have been made this week by shippers
and home dealers, still last the quarterly sale's rates
are supported, but large parcels could not be disposed of
upon those terms. The market is quiet for Spanish, and
a small parcel at public sale went at 3s 8d to 3s 10d for
good fibres.
SPIRITS,—A good business has been concluded in
East India Rum this week, but at the moderate rate _of

Is 3d per gallon proof, and low quality at is 2id.
Holders of Leeward Island went up to 18 4d to Is sd,
still only a moderate trade has been concluded, and there
is a fair supply. For Demerara the market is in a quiet
state,and sellers are ready to accept is 10d to 2s 2d for 28
to 40 over, and a further fall in the value is expected to
take rlace. The business concluded in Jamaica has been

small: for all purposes, still holders are not dis-
posed to make any further concession in the valve of
In the Brandy market there has again been much
activity and prices keep on the advance. Sales of
Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1848
vintage of 1848 have been made at 4s 8d to 4s 10d
per gallon, for arrival large sales have been made at
4s 4d to 4s 6d. Geneva is not much in demand, and
sellers are willing to accept is 9d to is 10d for ord,
and 2s 3d to 3s 3d for fine. British made spirit is not
cheaper, but the sales made have been of little moment.

TALLOW.—TO• day prices were further depressed for
Tallow, and not more than 36s 6d could be obtained on
the spot for fine P. Y. C. in largo Imola. At auction

832 pkgs South American were in part sold at from 32s
3d to 36i; 70 chests East India 435, low 30s to 30s 3d;

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF BANK-
NOTES IN LIVERPOOL.
On Monday Jane Mary Maher, a good•looking
woman with a child in her arms, John Maher, her
husband, Roby Maher, his father, and Frances
Sharp, described as their servant, were brought up
at the Police-offiee under the following circumstances,
which were stated by Mr. Dowling, the chief-con-
stable :
On the 10th of the present month, Mr. Hunt, sail-
maker, whose place of business is in Hanover-street,
in this town, went to the Union Bank and received
there the sum of 2281. in two 1001. notes, a 101. note,
and the rest in gold and silver. After calling at the
Exchange news-room and several other places, he
returned to his office and placed the money in a
drawer, which he believes he lett locked. In about
half an hour afterwards Mr. Hunt left the office for
the purpose of taking some lunch, but did not lock
the office, which is situated at the rear of his sail-
room. Whilst absent the female prisoner Maher was
seen to enter the premises by a young man named
Taylor, in Mr. Hunt's employ. She also inquired
for Mr. Hunt, and then left. On Mr. Hunt's return
he discovered, on attempting to unlock his drawer,
that it had been broken open and the money stolen
therefrom.
Nothing was heard of the matter until a few days
since, when the female prisoners called at the shop
of a Mr. Falkner, draper, of Athol-street, Douglas,
Isle of Man, and after purchasing drapery articles to
the amount of 51., tendered a 1001. note in payment.
Mr. Falkner not having sufficient change in his pos-
session, sent the note to Mr. Holmes's bank, where it
was changed, the prisoner Jane Mary Maher endorsing
it at the back with the name of Ann Yates. The
note was sent by Mr. Holmes to a banker's in this
town, when it was discovered to be one of those stolen
from Mr. Hunt. Information was than given to Mr.
Dowling, when he dispatched Bates, one of the most
active of the detective force, to Douglas.
Immediately on landing on Wednesday, Bates put
himself in communication with Mr. Falkner, and an
active search was made in the island, but without suc-
cess on that day. The next morning Bates, accom-
panied by Mr. Falkner, went on board the Tynwald,
and having put himself in communication with Capt.
Gill, that gentleman instantly afforded him every as-
sistance. The passengers brought by the boats were
minutely scrutinized by Mr. Falkner, but no traces of
the prisoner could be seen. The last boat, containing
the mail, had come alongside, and the steamer was
preparing for sailing, when a private boat, containing
lour individuals, was seen to put off from the land,
and steered as if for the steamer. Suspicion was im-
mediately aroused that the boat was freighted with
the parties of whom Bates was in search. This proved
to be correct, for in a few minutes the boat was along-
side, but the prisoners refused to come on board. By
a preconcerted arrangement with Captain Gill, the
steamer was got under weigh, when the prisoners,
fearing that they might be left, got on board. Mr.
Falkner, on examining them as they came on board,
pointed out the two female prisoners as the persons
who had changed the notes. Bates then took them
into the cabin, and on examining them a considerable
sum in gold and silver was found upon them. They
were then secured, and put on shore, and placed under
restraint. On examining their luggage, a great
quantity of jewellery and wearing apparel was found.
The next day the other note was handed to Bates,
the husband stating that he would make all right.
The whole amount recovered is 158/. 15s.
A clerk from the Union Bank proved that the
notes recovered were in the bank on the same day
that Mr. Hunt had received the amount stolen.
Mr. Hunt, H. Taylor, Mr. Falkner, and Bates,
gave evidence to the effect above stated.
Mr. Rushton asked the prisoners if they had any-
thing to say to the charge ?
Roby Maher stated that he would defy any one to
say that he knew anything about the notes being in
the possession of Jane Mary Maher. He had been
for some time in a bad state of health, and had gone
to the Isle of Man to recruit himself.
Frances Sharp said that she was a dress-maker, and
had been employed by Mrs. Maher to make her some
dresses, and had been prevailed upon to accompany
her to the island.
The prisoners were then remanded fer seven days.
