MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of September 17.)

SUGAR.—To-day the market closed rather heavily for West
India Muscovado Sugar, the sales not exceeding 300 hhds and
tres, and prices were full Is per cwt lower for all descriptions,
except the good and fine bright grocery sorts, which, being
scarce, brought nearly the former value. The total sales of
the week are about 2,000 hhds and tres. The stock of British
Plantation Sugar is now 22,137 hhds and trcs, which is 3,321
more than last year at the same period. The stock of Mauri-
tius is 93,377 bags, being 77,751 more than last year. The
stock of Bengal is 75,124 bags, which is 52,207 more than last
year. The delivery of British Plantation Sugar for the last
week was 1,678 hhits and tres, being 163 less than during the
same time last year. The delivery of Mauritius OM 9,858
bags, which is 6,488 bags more than last year. The delivery

bond—of crushed first quality there has been a large parcel
sold at 29s 9d per cwt ; but the refiners are now holding more
firmly at 30s per cwt. Loaves continue neglected.
111AURATIUS.—Good to fine bright yebow sold at 59s to
6Es 6d, low to good middling do at 57s 6d to 58s 6d, good to
fine brown at 48s to 525, and low to middling brown at 40s to
47s 6d per cwt.
This afternoon a public sale of 7,285 bags 85 cks were
brought forward, and the good and fine grocery sorts went off
steadily at previous rates, but all other kinds were again rather
lower ; low to fine bright yellow 'sold at 57s to 655, inferior to
good brown at 48s to 51s, low brown at 37s to 41s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.— This afternoon there was not a steady demand
for white sorts of Bengal, and full prices were paid; other sorts
quiet, but not generally cheaper • the quantity offered at auc-
tion were 5,146 bags, whiCh nearly all sold, mid to fine white at
67e to 71s, soft goo white et 67s 6d, and low brown to good
yellow at 40s to 56s per cwt.
FOILEIG x.—The transactions in this market continues to be
upon a very limited scale, and generally much heaviness pre-
vails, but the merchants will not make any concession as re-
gards prices, and nearly the whole quantity brought to public
sale has been bought in above the value ; 137 chests 114 boxes
285 brls Pernambuco taken in at 20s to 25s for low soft to good
white, at 16s to 17s 6d for low and mid bright yellow, and at
14s to 15s 6d for brown ; 418 bales 127 bags 20 chests Rio at

22s to 245, soft. yellow at 20s to 2 Is, and good and fine brown
at 17s 6d to 19s per cwt. Privately no transactions worth
reporting have taken place, and the market is indifferently sup-
plied, especially with yellow Havannah.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES—_The prices of this article have
given way a little, which has been an inducement to the buyers
to come forward more freely, and about 400 puns have changed
hands, at from 22s to 27s fur low to fine quality ; 60 puns St.
Lucia at public sale went at 22s to 22s 6d per cwt.
Russ, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—FFICCS remain much
the same as last week, and the transactions are limited
to about 150 puns Leewards, proof strength, at 2s ld
per gallon. Brandy continues firm, and a goodde-
mand has prevailed principally from the home trade
and speculators, Cognac first brands of the vintage of 1835
has been selling at 5s 9d in hhds, puns 5s 7d ; ditto 1837 hhds
5s 6d, puns 5s 4d ; ditto 1838 hhds 5s 4d, 'puns 5s 2d ; ditto

7d per gallon, at which rates the merchants are firm; the stock
has decreased considerably of late. Geneva has been in good
demand by the shippers at 2s Id to 2s 2d, and small parcels of
fine fetch 2s 7d to 2s 8d for home consumption. Prices remain
at lOs 4d for British Corn Spirits for cash, and are likely so to
continue for a few weeks, there being a fair demand.
TEA.—We have this week to report a more settled market
for Tea, with a somewhat firmer appearance, and rather in-
creased demand to meet the wants of the trade, who have been
compelled to pay rather stiffer rates for some sorts, but more
especially the low kinds of Congou, which has become
scarce, is inid to Is 10d cash paid for common Congou, and
this price may now be considered the lowest point of the
market. Twankay of low quality has also been sold at is 10d
per lb cash. No public sales have been brought forward, nor
are there any declared at present. Company's Congou, in the
early part of the week, was Is 9-1 d cash, advanced on Wednes-
day to Is 10id,. but have subsequently become dull at is 10d
per lb cash.
To-day there was no new feature in the Tea market except
Company's Congou was sold in the forenoon at Is 101-4 per lb
cash, but afterwards declined to is 10k, at which the market
closed.

COFFEE.—This afternoon the market continued in a very
dull state, andrather
prices were again lower;
the public
sales consisted of 1,030 bags Ceylon, 470 Java, and 54 casks
Jamaica, which went off very heavily ; of the Ceylon a small
part only was sold at 67s 6d to 68s for good ordinary dingy,
and at 90s for fine middling; the Java withdrawn at 65s for
colours' fine ordinary; a few lots only of the Jamaica were
sold, low middling at 104 s per cwt.
To-day the public auctions consisted of 1,334 bags Sumatra
Pepper, 210 chests Cas•da Lignea ; the Pepper only partly
sold, but at fair prices, viz., 3d to 314 d for ordinary to good
light; the Cassia Lignea was all disposed of at full prices.
PROVISIONS.--In Irish Butter the transactions have been
upon a small scale only, the trade taking barely enough for their
immediate wants, and their having been large arrivals prices
have given way Is to 2s per cwt. On board sales of Carlow
have been made at 90s to 935, Cork 87s to 885, Limerick 83s
to 84s, Waterford 87s to 90s. Banded Carlow, from
90s to 94s ; Cork, from 88s to 90s ; Limerick, from 86s to
88s ; Waterford, 88s to 91s. The stock is large. Dutch
has been in good demand, and prices role high, fine sorts sell-
ing at 100 s to 104 s per cwt ; the arrivals were 10,200 casks last
week. The supply is large of Fresh Butter. Bacon has met
with a dull sale, and prices have a downward tendency ; small
sales landed of prime meat have been made at bOs to 635, and
heavy 57s to 59s per cwt ; on board there has been nothing
d-ne, 1,810 bales were received last week ; Middles have main-
Lined the former value, but there has been less demand. Hams
have been in good request, and 66s to 70s paid for small
Irish. Prices are rather lower for Lard, and the demand has
been dull; prime Waterford bladdered has sold 74s to 76s per
cwt. Pi ices have been supported for all kinds of Beef and
Pork, but the operations have been upon a small scale only.

high rates.

FOREIGN CONSECRATION OF
BISHOPS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N.

Sett—An Act of the fourteenth of Charles the Se-
cond, entitled " An Act for the Uniformity of Public
Prayers and the Administration of Sacraments and other
rites and ceremonies, and fur establishing the form of
making, ordaining, and consecrating, Bishops, Priests,
and Deacons in the Church of England," in the form
for " the consecration of Bishops," orders and directs
that when the Bishops present to the Archbishop " the
godly and well-learned man to be ordained and conse-
crated Bishop," he " shall demand the King's mandate
for the consecration, and cause it to be read." How
then can there be any doubt on the question whether the
Archbishop has power to ordain without leave of the
Crown ? If the Archbishop had placed this form of
consecration before the civil lawyers they would not
have been puzzled on this point. If it be intended by a
side-wind in the new " Foreign Consecration Bill' to
repeal the rubric in the " Form of Consecration of Bi-
shops" in the Act for Uniformity, &c. &c,, and allow
the Archbishops to consecrate Bishops without the
King's mandate, it ought to be most strenuously op-
posed. The Church has already too much power in its
hands, and it ought not to have this enormous authority
conceded to it. If Bishops be necessary in foreign parts
it will be quite sufficient that the Crown should deter-
mine pediaell9ccy,orlodfLnelga.lcyh. consecration, and issue

-t ,ewis, a scene of a novel character was
exhibited on Saturday last. A child of Mr. Button's of
the Cliffe havino• died a few days ago, application was
made to the newly -appointed clergyman, Mr. Russell, to
attend at the church on Saturday and perform the usual
service previous to the interment. This was refused 911
the ground that the child had not been christened (its
parents are Dissenters, of the Baptist denomination),
and consequently that it had not been received within
the pale of the church, and that its reception

RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—One week's receipts
tobelavitttneTesse.
from the principal lines of Railway in Great Btitain,
according to our last week's returns, amounted to
97,6701. on a capital of 37,000,000/. Deducting one •
half for expenses, which is full as much as they average,
there remains a balance for dividend of about
seven per cent., proving at once that Railway specu-
Wiens have not been so unproductive as some would
represent ; for although there has been a loss (or rather
no profit) on some lines, it is more than made up from
others. The country at large, therefore, has been ra-
ther a gainer in regard to investment of capital, to sag
nothing .of tile immense benefits conferred on the whole
community in making and keeping those unekrtakings in
repair, ns well as in the cheaper, speedier, cad safer
mode of travelling to which they have given birth.—

TRIFLES ARE NOT TO DE DEsprsED.—The
nerve of a tooth, not as large, :is the finest cambric needle,
will sometimes drive a strong man to distraction. A mus-
quito can make an elephant absolutely mad. The coral
rock which causes a navy to founder, is the work of
worms. The warrior that withstood death in a thousand
forms may be killed by an insect. The deepest wretched-
ness often results from a perpetual continuance of petty
rains. A chance look from those we love often produces
exquisite pain or unal!oyed pleasure.
