MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 22.)
Sus/le.—To-day the market for all sorts of Sugar was in
a favourable position, and the quantity on offer was smaller
than for some time past. In West India a good business
was concluded by refiners and grocers, whilst the rates ob •
tained are fully equal to those of Friday. 152 hhds 10 trcs
Barbadoes at public sale went at 42s for fine, and at 89s to
41s 6d for middling to good yellow, which are firm rates.
The only public sale of Sugar at present declared is 3,800
bags of Manilla for Thursday.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were in excellent de-
mand by home dealers, and brown grocery Lumps were not
to be purchased under 528 per cwt. The market has a firm
aspect, and low goods are in scanty supply. For Bonded
Crushed Sugar the market is dull at former rates.
bIAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius was in excellent
demand by private treaty ; 3,833 bags were sold at public
sale at stiff rates; line yellow fetched 40s 6d to 425, mid-
dling to good 39s to 40s, low 383 to 38s 6d, good and fine
brown 36s to 37s 6d per cwt.

Bengal or Madras, but by private treaty several parcels were
sold at fully former rates; indeed, in some cases a small ad-
vance was p aid.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon the market for Foreign Sugar
presented afi m aspect. 12,000 bags Manilla at public sale
sold at 38s to 39s for low and middling clayed greyish, and
428 pegs of Santa Martha at 218 to 255, which are fully
former rates. By private treaty two cargoes of Bahia have
been sold at 20s fur brown, and at 23s 6d for white.
MoLassts.—The demand has much improved, and higher
rates are paid for all sorts; several parcels have been sold,
St. Lucie at 20s 6d, ftominica 21s 6d, fine Antigua 225, and
600 hhds of new Cuba at 2ls per cwt. Bengal Treacle is
held with firmness, at 15s 6d to 16s per cwt.
COFFEE. This afternoon Mocha C, fee was in less de-
mand, and at public sale 586 bales 459 halt-bales only in
part sold, but full rates were obtained; middling fetched
52s to 555, lung bean 60s 6d to 735, triage 32s to 40s

has been 36 casks 2,917 bags, but a part only sold upon
rather lower terms; Native ord at 31s, good ord 32s to 335,

acceeded to for Congou, buyers have been induced to operate
with increased readiness, and a good business has been doae.
The value of ordinary and good ordinary soand is 7id to Bid
per lb. With Green the market has been well supplied,
and sellers are to be found rather under former rates; never-
theless, home dealers have made purchases with caution.
There is a plentiful supply. Only a limited demand has been
experienced for scented and Pekoe Teas, moderate as prices
are. The public sales of 25,000 pkgs have proceeded with
flatness, and the quantity sold amounted to 8,000 pkgs.
RICE.—To-day there was not much demand for East India

lower rates, still the aid part sold; Bengal, good white
went at lOs to lOs 6d, broken and dusty 8s to 8s 6d, damaged
4s to 7s 6d, and Madras sound pinky white 8s to 8s fid per
cwt, whilst mid white Bombay was taken in at 9s for small
clean grain.
SPICES.—To day Pimento was less enquired after, and
nearly the whole of 634 bags at public sale were taken
in at aid to 3id for middling to good, but these are fully
farmer terms: but 21 cases Bengal Ginger Sold at 32s 6d
34a 6i for home trade sort; these may be considered
moderate rates for wormy and flinty.

market for East has presented a firm aspect. A fair
home and export demand has been experienced, and former

more extended scale, with every prospect of a continuance.

6d per lb Deliveries are still larger than in the former
year, whilst prices exhibit a reduction for all sorts, and there
is not a much larger stock.
SALTPETRE.— There is a greater supply, and as the de-
mand for all purposes is getting smaller a decline in the
value of 6(1 to is per cwt. has taken place for the
better sorts, but in the value of inferior little variation
has occurred. Of 5,160 bags offered at auction not above

had not yet returned from London, but that ti two sol-

charged on the coroner's inquisition with the wilful

D_xtUl IT- 1_ A 'NE TtlEAi RE
GERIIAN OPERA.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the per:.
formances at this theatre witlh their presence last even-
ing. The house was of course crowded, ,rict no sooner
bud her Majesty made her appearance in her bex than
tne whole house robe and greeted her with the most en-
thusiastic cheering. Her Majesty came to the front of
the box and gracefully acknowledged the loyal greeting.
The National Anthem was then sung, and was received
with the most enthusiastic loyalty, and her
Majesty again bowed her acknowledgments The
opera chosen for the occasion was Flotow's Wrathlla,
one of the weakest compositions of one cf the weakest of
modern composers. All that could be done for it was
done for it last night by the German company, but its
success was not greater than on its production in an
English dress some years since. The performance
concluded with the second and third acts of Der Freis-
chutz, which were gloriously givtn. sever have we heard
the Huntsman's and Bridesmaid's ehurusses so superbly
rendered.
