MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of January 1'2.)
SUGAR.--The trade has evinced less desire to purchase
British Plantation Sugar, still there has been a fair de-
mand from both grocers and refiners since we last wrote,
the purchases for the three market days amounting to
1,400 hhds and tierces ; importers have displayed firm-
ness, and the rates established at the opening of the
market have been maintained, bright yellow and strong
grey descriptions have been the most in request, of
tine sorts of the former tl.e supply is small; Deme-
rara, low middling grey has been selling at 73s to 745,
middling and good yellow 74s to -765, fine 77s to 79s ;
Berbice, low brown 70s ; St. Vincents low yellow 74, ;
Trinidad, middling brown 70s Gd to 71s; Grenada, Ja-
in;ica, and St. Kitts middling yellow 75s to 76s ; good
midd 77s to 783 ; Antigua, good mid and good 79s to 81s,
line 82s to 82s Gd per cwt. There has been no public
and none is declared. There has been only one small
arrival during the past week. The deliveries it-mu the
warehouses hare began to increase.
To day importers of West India evinced firmness, and
the rates previously established were fully maintained, es-
pecially for good and fine yellow descriptions, which were
in excellent request by the grocers, and of such the quan.
tity at market was small, but brown and yellow kinds were
only in limited damand.

MAI:KM:US —This afternoon trade operated with cau-
tion ; the quantity offered at public sale was large, amoun-
ting to 9,176 bags, at which
the biddings were languid,
and the principal part was taken in at full prices ; the
simil quantity sold went at former rates, excepting brown
sorts, which sold Is a Is 6d cheaper, fine yellow went at
SOs to 81s, middling and good 76a to 793, low middling
731 to 7416 d, very low dark browa 44a to 495, low and

EAST INDIA.—For white descriptions of Bengal full
prices have been paid ; tine sorts at 84s 6d to 85; 6d, good

Manilla at stiff prices ; Siam low white 24s 6d to 255,
middling and fine 25s 6d to 28s; Java at stiff prices.
This afternoon several parcels of white Bengal were dis-
posed of by privnte treaty at full prices ; at auction, 300
bags went at 7ls 6d for soft dingy yellow, and washed 695,
being the full value.
FOREIGN.—There are large buyers of yellow Havannah
both for export and refining under bond at former rates, for
fair average parcels 23s 6d have been offered, but holders
for the most part not being disposed to sell thereat has re-
stricted business. Bravil has maintained its former value;
white sorts at 24s to 25s for low and good middling white.
This afternoon the market was firm for all descriptions,
and a fair amount of business was transacted in Brazil
and yellow Havannah by private treaty, at stiff prices ;
but at auction, 208 hhds Porto Rico were taken in at
23s to 23z 6d for mid yelfow.
COFFEE —There has been only a limited demand for
clean descriptions of NV, st India by private treaty, but

are unwilling to submit to lower rates. Ceylon by
private contract at 73; to 74s for good, and 1783
for fine ordinary. For Java there arc buyers rather under
late rates, Mocha, at previous rates.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any descrip-
tion; and by private treaty few purchases were made for
home consumption, prices however were supported ; but
good ordinary Ceylon may be bad at 733, yet few parcels
are offering privatLly. The Foreign market is quiet,
bet prices steady. For auction on Friday, 700 bags
Ceylon and for Tuesday 600:bales Mocha arc declared.
COCOA.—British Plantation has been less in request,
prices have given way Is to 2; per cwt ; fair grey at 48;
to 495, middling and fine red 53; to 58s per cwt. In
Foreign prices remain high.

quality 293 to 30s, Dominica and St. Vincents good 32s
to 335, Carriacou and Grenada ordinary 20s to 31s.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—FOr West India RUM

there has been a briA demand, and pric.•s have improved
Id for Jamaica, which has been the most iu request; other
sorts have brought loaner rates; the home trade have
been the principll operators. Of Jamaica 400 pun-
chrons have been disposed of since this day
weck, favourite marks r.t 7s to 7s 3d, 33 to 38

per cent over proof 6s 6d to 6s 93, 33 to 34 over 6i ad

•
to 63 sd, 30 to 32 over 6s to 6s 2J. The sales of Lee-
ward; have amounted to 300 puns, proof's at 2s 91 to 2s 9-d,
2 to .5 per cent over proof 23 101 to 2s 11d, 83 to 10 over
3s to 33 Id, 12 to 15 over 33 2d to 3s 3d, 16 to 20 over
33 41 to 3s sd, 130 puns Demerara have been sold at 30
to 34 per cent over at 5s 4d to .53 61, 36 to 39 over 5s 7d
to Si 9d, stronger 5; lOs to 53 11d. East India has
been in good request, and prices have advanced id per
gallon ; the sales have mounted to 300 hhds Calcutta,
proofs at 2s 2d and 26 over proof 23 8d ; a parcel of
Mauritius has been sold at 2s 6d proof strength ; the ar-
rivals of Ruin during the past year have been lees than in
1839, but the stock at the close of the yrar waslarger than
in the former one. For Brandy not much demand has cx
isted, still a fail business has been transacted on the following
terms ; Cognac, first brands of the vintage of 1836 in hhds
5s 2d, puns ss, do 1837, hbis ss. puns 4s 10:1, do 1838,
hhds 43 10d. puns 4s 81, do 1839 hhds 43 Bd, puns 43 6d,
do 1840 hhds 3s 91, puns 33 7d per gallon. Geneva has
been in fair request,, and prices arc firm. British Corn
Spirits have been in good request at lOs cash To-day
prices were firm for Rum, and a good demand existed for
all descriptions of West India, proof Leewards at the close
of the market were with difficulty to be had at Is 9id per
gallon.

TEA.—The pacific accounts received from China have
produced much inactivity in the market for Free Trade
Tea, and a considerable depression in prices, the reduc-
tion since this day week amounting from 7d to 8d per
lb, and even thereat the trade has purchased with extreme
caution of both black and green descriptions; Congou, in
small parcels for cash has been disposed of at is 61 to
Is 7d for ordinary and coarse sorts, fair and middling
blackish leaf is 7id to Is Bid, good and fine is 9tl to Is
lOici, and very tine Pekoe flavour is lldtols I 1 ;
small sales in Twannay for cash have been made at la 7d
to Is 8d for common, and Is Ski to Is 9d for good
brightish leaf; Canton Bohea, duty paid, has been sold at
33 81 for good quality ; indeed in the present state of the
market it is difficult to quote prices, buyers as well as
sellers not knowing what course to pursue; for public
sale on Tuesday next :3,000 pkgs are declared—ether
parcels are expected to be shortly advertised. The specu-
lative market- has been in an unsettled stare; Company's
Congou on Wednesday declined to Is 6d to is bid cash,
on Thursday in the early part they rallied to
is Bid, but fell towards the close of the day to
Is 74c1, on Friday is 7d was the quotation, and on
Saturday there well sellers at is 61d, but yesterday the
quotation advanced to is %id cash : upon the whole a good
deal of business has been transacted at the above rates in
this description of Ten. The deliveries of Tca for home
use and export for the United Kingdom during the past
year have been 6,000,000 lbs less than in 1839.
To-day the trade operated with caution in Free Trade,
and the transactions were trifling but holders did not ap-
pear disposed to submit to any further reduction, and fair
common Congou for cash was not to be purchased under
la 61d per lb; but if a large quantity was to be pressed
for sale, it would be difficult to get that price. The spe-
culative market has been inactive all the day, and Com-
pany's Congou closed at is bid cash.
FRUIT.—For Valencia Ra.sins a good demand has pre-
vailed, and prices supported fur the better sorts, other
kinds of Fruit have been in better request, and a con-
siderable portion of business done in several kinds; of
Turkey Figs the stock is large, and a great portion being
inferior quality, the Importers have pressed sales at the
lowest quoted prices.
Sores.- -For Pimento prices continue firm ; midding
coarse quality fetched 3d a 3id per lb. In Pepper former
rates have been supported, fair half heavy Malabar at aid,
Common Sumatra at aid to 3/d per lb. Cassia
Lignca middling quality at 90s, and fine thin quill
95s to 96s per cwt, 50 chests at public sale fetched 80s
for very coarse quality false packet, rather better 86s 6d.
Cloves, Bourbon at is Id to is 2d per lb. Nutmegs at
lull former rates.
RICE. —A good demand has prevailed for Bengal, and
the supply beieg rather small, buyers have been compelled
topay rather higher rates, middling descriptions have been
disposed of in large parcels at 13s 9d to 14s, good and
fine white sorts in small quantities have fetched 14s 6d to
15s per cwt. Siam and Java at stiffer rates. Carolina for
home use at 34s to 86s per cwt.
To-day for Bengal, rather higher prices were paid, large
parcels of middling white were disposed of by private
treaty at 14s per cwt.
TaLLosv.—For Russian Tallow since we last wrote,
prices have still! a downward tendency. On the spot hold-
ers have accepted 46s 6d to 47s for Petersburg yellow
candle. For delivery in the next two and three months
prices hate fallen to 47s to 47s 3d per cwt. Town Tallow
has been in good request ; South American at 40s to 4d5
for low and fine quality.
Today for P. Y. C. prices were firmer : on the spot a
fair business was transacted at 47, and some purchases
were made for delivery at 47s 3d to 47s 6d per cwt.
OILS. —The transactions in common descriptions of Fish
Oils have been limited since we last wrote, and in some
cases rather lower rates have been submitted to. For
Pale Seal by private contract 331 10s have been accepted,
271 to 31l lOs for brown and yellow, and 271 103 to 27/15s
far Cod. At public sale a part only of 120 tons Southern
fonnd at 251 lOs to 291 15s for low to fine quality, being
55 a 10s under forlier rates. The arrivals continue small
of common Fish Oils. In Sperm rather lower rates have
been submittep to, still it is difficult to buy first quality
under 1061 per ton. Linseed Oil at 27s 9,1 to 283 on
the spot, and 28s 3d to 29s 6d for delivery. Rape Oil
has been in good request. sale in pale have been made at
465, and brown 465. Olive at 60/ for Spanish, and 66l
for Gallipoli. East India Cocoa Nut at 38s to 394 for
first quality. Palm 341 lOs to 351 per ton.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

_HANSI ON-HOUSE.

Mr. Wells, the barrister, who is the person princi-
pally concerned in opposing the late proceedings at the
election for the ward of Fartingdon Without, attended
the Justice Room on Saturday last, for the purpose of
impressing upon the Lord Mayor the necessity of con-
vening a public meeting in the City to take means for
alleviating the distresses of the poor, which were immea-
sureably great.
Sir P. LAURIE, who was sitting at the time, said that
he highly approved of Mr. Wells's object, and he enter-
tained no doubt of the readiness with which his Lord-
ship would agree to any proposition of the kind.
Mr. Wells said that in Liverpool, Hull, Boston, Cam-
bridge, and other places, public meetings had been held
with the view of giving assistance to the distressed, and.
he thought that London, at a period, the severity of
which must be felt in some way or other by all, ought
not to be the only populous place in which considerable
efforts were not made. He was glad to have the oppor-
tunity of communicating with Sir Peter Laurie on the
theme of the condition of the poor, and to have his
ea-operation in the task of endeavouring to alleviate it.
He also hoped that his Lordship would . convene a
special meeting of the Court of Common Counell, in
order that some money might be appropriated out
of the City cash for a similar purpose, particularly as
there was always money to an enormous amount in
the hands of the City Chamberlain. If part of that
cash were distributed amongst the members of the Ward
Inquests, for the purpose of being judiciously divided
amongst the poor creatures in eachward, a vast deal of
good might be accomplished. He could not conjecture
how the City cash could be better disposed of.
Sir PETER LAURIE warmly concurred in the idea
suggested by Mr. Wells, of giving the City cash in Min.
He could not help saying that these funds were very
often misappropriated, and within the last year several
instances of the kind had occurred. The Corporation
bad now, he thought, an excellent opportunity of show-
ing that their liberality comprehended the feelings of
charity towards the multitudes of distressed beings at
their very doors.
It was understood that a deputation will wait upon
the Lord Mayor, whose benevolent disposition is well
known throughout the ward of which he is Alderman,
and who will, it is believed, most promptly concur in
the two propositions which Mr. Wells intends to bring
forward.
