MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 26.)
SUGAR.—Today there was more firmness OR the part
of holders of all sorts of raw Sugar, whilst a meted/II
decrease was apparent in the quantity brought to
market. On the part of exporters and homt:
trade buyers a greater desire was shown to operate.
In West India a steady trade was con-
chided, and in some cases the rates paid are 6d
above those of Friday last. The quantity sold amounts
to 430, making 1,712 hhds, &c, for the week, and the
market closes with a healthy appearance. At present
,poly one Sugar sale is declared fur next week, and that
consists of 150 hhds Barbadoes.

REFINED.—To-day home trade goods met with less
attention for home trade purposes, still lower rates art
not acceded to. Bonded Crushed Sugar for forward de
livery can be obtained at easier rates, and 28s to 29s per,
cwt is the value.

MATIRITIIIS.—This afternoon a good demand was ex-
perienced for Mauritius Sugar, and 3,140 bags at public
sale were sold at fully former rates, and in some cases
rather above.

EAST INDIA.—Thig afternoon two public sales of
Bengal Sugar took place, ani consisted of 2,164 bags,
but a part only sold, owing to holders asking 6d to 1.
advance.

FOREIGN.—To-day the market for Foreign Sugar
was firm, and a fair inquiry existed privately. None
was offered at public sale. By private treaty for the
week a cargo of fine brown Paraiba has been sold at

18A 9d; 300 chests good middling yellow Havannah at
21s 9d, and 100 tons low brown Manilla 15s. The Java
Sugar taken in on Wednesday has been sold rather under
the buying in price.

MoLsiEs.—West India continues to be wanted, and
former advanced rates are well supported, the sup
ply also continues to get smaller. The sales for thf-
week are 500 putts. There is a fair sale for Bengal
Treacle at I6s to 16s 6d; the market is firm.
COFFEE.—This afternoon several purchases were made
privately in good ordinary Native Ceylon at 34s 6d per
cwt, and there is a firm market. Of Mocha 28 bales at
aution, of low quality, were taken in at 39s to 42s per
owl. Of Rio Coffee 6,000 bags of good ordinary have
been sold afloat at 28s to 29s per cwt.
TEA.—Black met with more demand and realised
firm rates; common sound clean Congou is with diffi-
culty to be purchased under Bid per lb. Green has beau
dealt in with caution, yet holders appear unwilling to
accept lower rates. For Pekoe and scented Teas there
is, however, a dull sale upon former terms.
COCOA.2British Plantation is wanted, and full rates
are offered ; but holders insisting upon an advance
caused the private operations to be of little moment
At public sale the sound of 117 bags of Trinidad was
taken in. The value of Foreign is from 261 to 27s 6d
per cwt; there has, however, been little passing by pri-
vate treaty, and none was offered at public sale.

East India Rice privately at former rates. At auction
160 bags Brazil were taken in at 13s for good bold
white, and 20 barrels Tapioca at 81d per lb. for fine.

fair 335; four pkgs Cayenne is 6d to is 10d. Pimento
is in better supply, and 413 bags went id to id cheaper;
good mid sold at 3id to 3P, mid 34d, ord 34d, and da-
maged 3d to 3id per lb.
FRUIT.—In Currants there has been a fair business
doing this week at a small advance in price. A parcel
Gt Fine Vostizz sold at 395. The demand for Valentia

at from 3s 9d to 4s 4d for ord to gvod, and which are
full rates, but 15 bgs black went 2d cheaper, and sold at

SPIRITS.—Buyers of Jamaica Rum are willing to pay
higher rates, and 34 to 38 per cent over proof is quoted
4s to 4s 8d per gallon. Of inferior sorts there is a large
amount on offer, and sellers are willing to aecep,
rather low rates. Plain and mid quality

Tallow, and fins P. Y. Candle on the spot cannot be
quoted above 40s per cwt. At auction 1,133 pkgs South
America were offered, and mostly sold.

ETRUSCAN VASE.--One of the most remarkable
and beautiful works of modern art which we have ever
witnessed, or which it is possible to conceive, is now
on view at the rooms of Messrs. Hunt and Roskill,
Princes-street. It is a silver vase, about twenty-three
inches in height, and partaking of the Etruscan form.
It is, however, chiefly remarkable for the true artistic
genius which has conceived, and the dexterous mani-
pulation which has executed, such an extraordinary
variety of beautiful ornament on the exterior.
The war of Jupiter with the Gigentes, or giants, is
the subject illustrated, the mighty Jove being seated on
his eagle on the lid of the vase, and hurling his thunder-
bolts against the monsters who on all sides assail him.
This is worked in alto relievo. The most accurate ex•
pression has been thrown into every countenance, and
the idea of muscular action is conveyed with the utmost
fidelity. Various other subjects, in basso relievo and
alto relievo, cover the vase. It is the workmanship of a
German, named Antoine Vechte, and has been made to
the order of Messrs. Hunt and Roskill. It is valued at
2,oool.—Manchester Examiner.

AN UNNATURAL PARENT

.On Monday a man was

brought before the Gorbals Poliee-court, in cotnpan)
with a woman, implicated in the charge of having
thrown his own daughter, a child of tender years, out of
the window of his dwelling-house, under circumstances
of peculiar atrocity, by which she was seriously injured.
The case has been remitted to the sheriff. From the
facts which have transpired, it appears that on Saturday
night heeame into the house, accompanied by the woman
referred to. As he was considerably under the influence
of liquor at the time, his daughter, who is an interesting
girl, not more than ten yt'ars of age, remonstrated with
him; but all the rejoinder she received was a command
to leave the house, or he would throw her out of the win-
dow. The poor girl, terrified at the threat, endeavoured
to leave the apartment; but, as her brutal parent had
unconsciously locked the door, she could not open it, and
told him so. With an oath, the wretched man ran for
ward to where the child was standing, and lilting her in
his arms, carried her towards the window, and thrust
her out, shutting
it down upon her. The girl, in her
agony, caught hold of the window sill with her hands,
awl hung there as long as strength held out. In this
effort her fingers %ere cut and blistered, and her feeble
strength was soon exhausted, and she fell heavily down
on the pavement, where she was picked up. Had she
fallen in any other position than she did, the result, in
all probability, would, have been immediate death, the
window from which she was thrown being on the secund
floor. It is not known yet whether her injuries are
likely to prove of a serious kind. If the spine, as there
is too much reason to fear, has been injured, her ulti-
mate recovery is very doubtful.—Gktsgow Chronicle.
Seven sheep out of a flock which had strayed upon
the Helldal and Windermere line on Thursday evening
week were killed by the mail train from Bit thwaite, or
so mangled that it was found necessary to slaughter
them.—Cumberland Pacguet.

LAW IN
PREROGATIVE COURT, Jan. 25.
(Before Sir JOHN DODSON.)
EVANS V. DUTTON.

Dr. R. PHILLIMoRE applied to the Court to grant ad-
minis' ration to ..t.usaa Evans, niece of Mrs. Dutton, who
mane a will, dated the 19!it July, 1840, bequeathing
various sums to different parties, the whole of which did
nut exceed 200/., and-desired all her debts, funeral ex-
pelises, lice., to be paid by her executors hereinafter
named. These were not named in the body of the will ;
but under her signature and the attesting clause, she
nominated her brother, James Dutton, and Mrs. Evans,
her executors. The Learned givilian contended that
this was not good in law, and quoted the case of Thomas
Owen. in vol. 2, Curteis's Reports, page 242. Therefore
the parties could not prove the will.
Dr. HARDING, for the executors, opposed the appli-
cation, and held the case above quoted not to be the
point, but referred to that of Esther Powell, v01.,1,
Robertson's Reports, page 421 ; also Grant v. Les-
ter, vol. 3, Phillimore ; and Fermis v. the Marquis
of Hertford. If, said the Learned Advocate, a
will is made, and therein the testator desires
that its provisions shall be carried out by his or her exe-
cutors, who shall not be named in the body of the will,
but " whose names," it shall be stated therein, '• will be
found on a slip of paper in my bureau," this wuu!d be in-
corporated as part of the will, and probate could not be
be refused to such executors.

The. Comer would not consent to grant probate, but
would allow the paper to be propounded.
The COUNSEL, on the part of the executors, declined
doing this, and in consequence the application of the
niece of the testatrix was acceded ty, the costs to be paid
to the executors out of the estate.
