MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Dec. 20.)
SUGAR.—The West India raw Sugar Market has under-
gone much improvement during the past week, the refiners
having at length been compelled to come into th• Market, and
purchase freely ; from the grocers there has been a good de-
mand, and the importers have obtained an advance on all de-
scriptions of 6d. a Is., at which rise 2,600 hhds. and trs. have
bean disposed of, mostly of good and fine yellow qualities ;
there have been no public sales of Barbadoes, and none are
advertised. _ _

The stock of West India Sugars is now 33,983 hhds. and
trs., being 8,876 more then last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 28,142 bags, which is 8,194 less than last year (includ-
ing the East India Dock.) The delivery of West India last
week was 1,898 bhds, and trs., which is 380 less than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius was 2,189 bags, being 712
less than the corresponding week of last year (including the
East India Dock.)
This afternoon we have again to report an improving Market
for British Plantation ; for the grocery qualities there was a
brisk request, and in the refining descriptions there was much
business done, the refiners being all again compelled to come
into the Market to purchase, they having several orders on
hand to execute for Refined goods, and the importers of West
India have obtained an ad6nce on the prices of Friday of 6d.
for the 1,400 hhds. and trs. disposed of, the principal part of
which was taken by the refiners ; sales of good brown Berbice
for the pan made at 545. 6d., Jamaica mid. yellow at 605.,
Antiguas good 645.
At length the Refined Sugar trade has assumed a rather
better appearance; from the shippers there has been a good
demand at an advance of is. ; sales of double Crushed made
at 365., and Lumps to pass the standard at 775., but there are
few goods now to be purchased for immediate delivery under
465. 6:1. a 475. for Crushed; contracts have been made for
1 arge parcels to be delivered in January at 355. a 365. ; the
grocers have purchased more freely, and at rather improving
prices, 755. a 765. paid for Lumps rather under the standard,
and goods are extremely scarce. Treacle is not cheaper, but
the demand moderate. Bastards continue dull of sale at the
quotations. In Dutch Crushed nothing has been done, and
prices remain as last quoted.
This afternoon from the grocers there was a good request
for Refined goods at steady prices ; of the export descriptions
but few parcels remain in the hands of the refiners, and double
Crushed is not to be purchased under 365. 6d. a 375. for im-
mediate delivery.
MAURITIUS.—There has at length been some improvement
in the demand; from the grocers there has been a good re-
quest by private contract, particularly for the mid. and good
yellow descriptions, for which they have paid prices fully equal
to those of last week ; there have been no public sales, and at
present none are advertised. No further arrivals have entered
this port.
This afternoon there was a good enquiry from the grocers.
EAST INDIA.—In Foreign East. India there has been no-
thing done, the buyers beinr, averse to purchase at present
rates, whilst on the other hand holders are not sellers at any
reduction ; for Bengal there has been but little request from
the shippers, still the holders are firm in requiring fully pre-
vious rates, and have offered none at public sale ; from the
grocers there has been a good demand at unaltered prices.
FOREIGN.—The Market for all descriptions has been in a
very inactive state, there continuing to be no request for Brazil
or white Havannab, and the demand for the yellow qualities of
the latter at former prices' has subsided, but at the reduced
offers made of is. a 2s. there are no sellers. Two cargoes of
400 chests Bahia has arrived.

Rum, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market has been
heavy, and although there are sellers of Jamaica and Leeward
Island at a reduction on rates rate of Id. a lid. per gallon.
CorFEE.—Jamaica, good mid. at 103 s. a 1 1 ls., low mid.
and mid. 925. 6d. a 945. 6d., good and fine fine ord. unclean
635. a 926. ; Demerara, mid. 903. a 915., fine and fine ord. 81s.
a 865., unclean fine fine ord. and mid, 81s. a 88s., triage 635. ;
SI. Lucia, mid. 925. a 93. ; Berbice, mid. 89s. Gd. a 91s. ;
Sumatra, 403. has been paid for fair quality; Ceylon of good
quality is much wanted at 485., but the holders generally refuse
to take less than 495. a 50s. ; Samarang would sell readily at 435.
a 445. forgood, but there is scarcely any in the Market offering for
sale. In the Foreign Market St. Domingo has been sought after
at 483. for fair quality, being no sellers within 2s. of that price,
no business has taken place ; Brazil is much wanted, but it is
impossible to purchase under 48s. a 49. ; Valparaiso good and
tine foxey, at 465. a 585., damaged went at 465. a 585., da-
maged went at 465. Gd. a 495.

TALL° w.—There has been rather more demand for parcels
on the spot for consumption at 425. 6d. for P. Y. C. For de-
livery the operations have been also on an extended scale, and
435. paid for the spring months.
TUPENTINE.—Rough is rather cheaper, IBs. 3d. has been
accepted for a small parcel—Spirits have sold heavily at 81s. a
82s.

MOLASSES.—The importers of West India demand former
rates, but there has been nothing done.
The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the ware-
houses for home use for the week ending December 17, amount
to 3,530 cwt.

COCOA.—There has been nothing done in British Planta-
tion, either by public sale or private contract, and prices remain
the same as last quoted. For Foreign there continues to be no
request.
The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from the ware-
houses for home use for the week ending December 17, are
6,669 lbs.

RicE.—The demand for East India has been very moderate
by private contract, and 8,375 bags Java at auction, the sound
was all taken in at 6d. decline, from 12s. 6d. a 13s. for low
and good middling white, with the exception of one lot which
sold at 13s. 6d. ; the damaged went cheap and sold at Bs. 6d.
to 1 ls.

COTTON.—The private purchases consist of 1,800 bales
Surat at aid. a Sid., 150 Bengal at 4,11 a 4id., and 130
Boweds at Bd. a 90.
OILS.—In Linseed Oil there has been rather more business
doing on the spot at 355. 6d. at 365., and for delivery next
year there has been a great deal of business done. Rape sells
slowly at previous rates. Olive Oil dull of sale at the reduced
prices quoted. The public sale of 200 tuns Sperm and Head-
matter was all bought in at reduced prices, the former good and
fine at 781. a 801., and the latter at 841. a 85/.

aPROVISIONS.-the demand for Irish Butter has been con-
fined to limited parcels to supply the immediate wants of the
trade. Dutch has given way in value 2s. ; at 108 s. a 110 s.
for the best qualities. The request for either English or
Foreign Cheese has been on a very limited scale.

MONUMENT TO MRS. HEMANS, THE POETESS.
—The monument consists of a small Grecian tablet in sta-
tuary, on a black ground. In addition to the statement,
" Felicia Hemans, died May 16, 1835, aged 41," the fol-
lowing beautiful and appropriate lines are inscribed thereon,
from her own solemn effusion, known as " The Dirge " :
" Calm on the bosom of thy God
Fair spirit, rest thee now I
E'en while with us thy footsteps trod,
His seal was on thy brow.
Dust to its narrow home beneath !
Soul to its peace on high
They that hare seen thy look in death
No more may fear to die."
—Chester Courant.•

On the evening of Saturday week, as the Whitby
and Pickering railway coach was descending the
the rope broke, and the coach proceeded downwards with
fearful rapidity : fortunately the man who had the charge
of the waggons ascending, attached to the other end of the
rope, was able to lock the wheels, and so prevent their re-
turning down _the hill. Great credit is due to the driver
and guard of the coach, for their presence of mind in
checking the carriage with the breaks, as well as in not
alarming the passengers, who were numerous—scarcely any
of whom were aware they had been in a situation of dan-
ger.—Shields Observer.

On Saturday last, Ann Hamilton, aged 92, of Sai-
lors'-alley in this town, when near John-street, Bishopwear-
mouth, dropped down, and instantly expired.—Sunderland
Herald.
