MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 10.)
SUGAR.—To-day the demand decreased for all kinds
of raw sugar both for home consumption and exporta-
tion; holders, however, refused to submit to any further
decline in prices. The market throughout the day pre-
sented a heavy appearance. West India was operated
in with caution, and for all purposes, whilst only 320
hhds were sold at the former value, and which is gene-
rally 6d per cwt under Friday last. The total sales for
the week are 2,020 hhds and trcs.
RLFINED.—To-day there was less demand for refined
goods for home consumption, in prices, however, no
variation took place, but there was a desire to sell all
qualities. The market is quiet for bonded crushed
Sugar, still first sort is not to be had under 30s per cwt.
ISIAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was little dispo-
sition manifested to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and of
1,839 bags, 170 casks, and 89 tierces offered at auction,
a small part only sold at the former value.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand was limited
for Madras Sugar of all kinds, and of 4,450 bags at auc-
tion a small portion sold at about the former value.
FOREIGN.—There is no improvement to notice in the
market for any kind of Foreign Sugar, supplies continue
large, and holders are yet willing sellers, whilst the
advices from the Continental markets are of an unsatis-
factory nature,both as regards the demand and prices.
MOLASSES.—For West India there are few buyers;
still :holders decline to make any further concession in
prices, and offer a less quantity for sale: the value of
low to fine is 15s to 18s. East India Treacle met with
little attention, and 17s to 18e is the value. Of Barba-
does Molasses 31 puns at public sale were taken in at
18s per cwt.

TALLow.—This afternoon higher rates were obtained,
notwithstanding the large parcels at public sale, 24 pipes,
62 barrels, and 452 boxes South American, were sold at
40s 6d to 42s 3d, fine 45s to 475; 52 casks African 36s
to 40s 3d; 467 casks Taganrog and Odessa 40s to
45s 3d; 367 casks of Australian 41s to 46s 3d for low to
fine.

to re-consider the arrangements of the prize sheet,
was read, and, after some discussion, adopted. The
chief feature it contained was, a proposition to do
away with all restrictions as to feeding the cattle
classes. After other formal business the pr,ceedings
terminated.

The anniversary dinner took place last evening, at
the Freemason's Tavern. The Earl of Hardwicke
presided, in the absence of the Noble President, who
was prevented from so doing by slight indisposition.
There were present the Earl of Yarborough, Presi-
dent of the Royal Agricultural Society of England ;
Captain the Hon. Dudley Pelh-am, Colonel Sibthorp,
M.P.; and General Wemyss, &c. The cloth having
been removed,
The CHAIRMAN, proposed the toast of the
evening, " Success to the Smithfield Club." His
Lordship, in proposing this toast, dwelt at consider-
able length on the objects of the club, which he held
to be a society having intentions as honest and ai
zealous as any ever established. It was one having
for its principle the discovery of the best means of
supplying the people with food at the cheapest rate ;
and in that object, he added, it had been eminently
successful. The object of the Smithfield Club, pro-
ceeded the Noble President, was to encourage the
production of cattle of every description at the
earliest possible period, and at the cheapest possible
rate.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN next read the awards,
After which the following toasts were drunk :
" The Unsuccessful Candidates," " The Judges,"
" The Stewards," " The Father of the Club, Mr.
Gibbs, sen.," " The Royal Agricultural Society of
England," " The Earl of Yarborough," " The
Butchers and the Labouring Classes."
The proceedings then terminated. The attendance
at the banquet was considerable.

RAJA OF SATTARA.

Petitions in favour of an inquiry into the case of
the Raja of Sattara were presented by Mr. Lloyd; by
Mr. Bright, from the boroughs of Westminster and
Finsbury ; by Mr. G. Thompson, from Finsbury,
Poplar, and several portions of the Tower Hamlets ;
and by Mr. Wakley, from the parish of St. Mary,
Islington, and the borough of Finsbury.
SECRET POISONINGS.
Colonel SIBTIIORP presented a petition, signed
by the clergy and inhabitants of Lincoln,
stating that the increase of secret poisonings was
most alarming, and praying the House to pass
some enactment under which a heavy penalty should
be levied upon the retailer of poisonous drugs in any
quantity, or to any individual, without some person
well knowing the individual applying for such drugs,
and stating for what purpose they are required.
COERCIVE MEASURES FOR IRELAND.
Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from Man-
chester, signed by 20,000 persons, praying the House
not to pass any coercive measures for Ireland, but to
adopt such remedial measures as might give the
labourers that right upon the land which they ought
to possess.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented petitions to a
similar effect from Leeds, Preston, Southall,
Paisley, Wakefield, and Staleybridge. The Hon.
Member also presented a petition signed by the re-
latives of the six persons who were shut up in a
mine in consequence of the eruption of the waters
of the river Douglas, into the mine in which they
were at work. There was reason to believe that those
'persons might yet be lingering in their misery, and
the .petitioners prayed that the Secretary of State
would adopt some immediate measures in order to
ascertain whether any relief could be afforded to the
sufferers. ,

MAJORITY-NOES, 203.

NEW WRITS.—The writ issued on Ti.ursday night
for Newcastle-under-Lyme, was On account of some
doubt having been thrown on the J.- ality of Mr.
Christie retaining his seat, the firm with which he it,
connected having entered into a contract which, it is
supposed, might be considered within the meaning_of the
Act against Government contractors sitting in Parlia-
ment. Mr. Christie returns to his constituents for re-
election, and, as is usual in such cases, it is supposed
no opposition will be Offered to his return. There will
be a new writ soon issued for Wejmouth. The Sherborne
Journal states that W. D. Christie, Esq., has determined
to retire from the representation of that borough. An
election to supply this vacancy will probably take place
during the coming week.
MR. COBDEN RETIRING FROM BUSINRSS.—The

ment of the dissolution of partnership between " Richard

Woor.wicn.—An order has been received at this
establishment to prepare 90 field guns, 9-pounders, with
carriages and timbers, for the dock-yard battalions; but
the works already on hand are so great that it will be
some time before the above order can be completed, and
an number .1 hands will be required. Seve-
ral members of the Board of Ordnance visited the Royal
Arsenal lust week, lor the purpose of examining the
various workshops in the carriage department, and con-
sidering the best mode of increasing the accommodation
for the extra number of men who will be required to
acceliFrite the works, and to enable the members of
the beard to frame the estimates for the ensuing year,
which will be considerably increased, as it is now decided
upon to enlarge the workshops, and also to build new
and extensive premises for facilitating the progress of
the works, and employing the best machinery that can
be obtained to assist the manual labour. Six guns,
mounted on field carriages, are in hand at present for
the Sheerness dockyard battalion, and four guns fur the
Clarence Victualling-yard battalion, at Portsmouth,
these being required immediately.
RIVEN PLATE. Advises of the 9th of October
appear to have reached Havre from Monte Video ; but
we have no news excepting that Rivera had been
banished by the Montevidian authorities, and sent to the
island of St. Catharina. So much for Lord Aberdeen's
protege, whose virtues were so much extolled by the
parties who now drive him from their shores.
HAMIVIERSMITIL—Thursday a public meeting was,
held at the :hill in the Bridge-road, at which a resolu-
tion was agreed to that a petition should be presented to
Parliament, praying that the extensive parishes of Ham-
mersmith, Kensington, Fulham, and Chiswick should be
constituted into a Parliamentary borough.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF

FRIDAY.
DOWNING-STREET, DEC. 10, 1847.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to give orders
for the appointment of the Marquis of Normanby, her
Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipoten-
tiary to the King of the French, to be an Ordinary
Member of the Civil Division of the First Class, or
Knights Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of
the Bath.

tegrity and independence of the Confederation, acquired,
as the note expresses it, at the price of its blood and
guaranteed for ages past by Europe, as well as by the
treaties of Vienna. A brilliant serenade was given last
night to General Dufour, at which an immense crowd
was present. An address was then presented by the so-
ciety of the Liederta fel to him, expressing their warm
admiration of the able manner in which he had fulfilled
the important duties confided to him as Commander-in-
Chief. The General returned a suitable reply, declaring
that all the merit of the late successful events was to be
attributed not to him but to the troops under his com-
mand; and still more to the Diet which had by its energy
proved that • they knew how to put down insurrection at
home, as well as that it could successfully oppose in-
trigues coming from abroad. That body had shown to
the world that Switzerland was capable of causing itself
to be respected by foreign powers, and could repel all
attacks on her independence, from whatever quarter
they came.' Loud applause greeted these observations.
Colonel Ochsenbein gives to-day a grand dinner to the
General and to the principal officers of his staff."

A letter from Modena announces the arrival in that
city of the Archduke FERDINAND, brother of the
reigning Duke, and of his newly-married wife, the
Princess ELIZABETH. The Government, it is said,
had sent a body of troops to Ceserano and Fivizzano,
to prevent these places from being attacked by the
inhabitants of Pontremoli. It was rumoured at
Massa that the Duke of MODENA was about to arrive,
and to accord a general amnesty.

The Diario di Roma of the 27th ult. announces
that the appointment of Cardinal ALTIERI to the
Presidency of Rome and the Comarca, having vacated
the post of Secretary of Memorials, the POPE has
conferred it on Cardinal FERRETTI, Secretary of
State.

GREECE.

In reply to Mr. B. COCHRA.NE,
Lord PALMERSTON said that a half-yearly in-
stalment of the loan made by this country to Greece
had been paid. Another instalment, due in September
last, had not yet been paid. The entire
amount of the loan was, he understood, 990,0001. No
immediate demand had been made for the repayment
of the money, because, though the Greeks might not
be unable to pay it, they might nevertheless be
unable to pay it at once. An arrangement would
be made for the gradual liquidation of the amount.

Mr. GLADSTONE inquired if the Government

Friend at the head of the Government would not
bring it forward that day.

SOUTH WA RI.
John Witty, a tall, powerful-looking young man, was
charged with stealing a quantity of cigars from a to-
bacconist's shop in Gravel-lane, Southwark. In effect-
ing the prisoner's apprehension, one of the policemen
was seriously wounded on the head with a quart pot.
Mrs. Maria Baker, who keeps a tobacconist's shop in
Gravel-lane, said that on the preceding night between
seven and eight o'clock, while sitting in the parlour, she
saw the prisoner in the act of quitting the >hep
with a quantity of cigars. A policeman took
her to a public house in the same lane,
called the " Red House," when she pointed out the pri-
soner, who was drinking and smoking in company of
several other persons. The moment the policeman at-
tempted to lay hands upon him he snatched up a pewter
pot and made a blow at his head, which, however, did
not take effect, but his companions succeeded in rescuing
him. In about three hours afterwards the prisoner
was again found in the same house, surrounded
by his associates, and before he was secured
one of the policemen was attacked with a pewter pot,
and severely wounded on the forehead.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed
for trial. He has only been out of gaol a week.
CLERKENWELL.
A lad named Thomas Williams was charged before
Mr. Greenwood with stealing a pair of boots, the
property of Mr. Edward Hailes, bootmaker, of Denton-
buildings, Somers town, to whom he was apprenticed,
and also with obtaining by fraud one sovereign and two
sovereigns severally from Mrs. Hodgson and Mrs.
Gibson, the aunt and cousin of Mr. Hailes.
It appeared that the prisoner bad been convicted at
the Old Bailey sessions, about nine months ago, of
robbing his master, but in consequence of that gentle-
man recommending him to mercy he received only a
nominal imprisonment, and was again taken home by
him, in hopes of affording him on opportunity of retriev-
ing his character. On Wednesday last the prisoner ab-
sconded with a pair of boots, and on Saturday the pro-
secutor ascertained that he had called upon his cousin
(Mrs. Hodgson), saying he (Mr. Hailes) had sent him
with a present of a pair of boots for one of her children,
and at the same time desired him to ask her fur the loan
of a sovereign, which she gave him. He then went to
the prosecutor's aunt, and told her that Mr. Hanes was
confined to his bed with a dangerous attack of illness,
and a quantity of work had been sent to him on the day
before, and he was in the greatest distress, not having the
means of paying for it Upon these representations
Mrs. Gibson gave him two sovereigns, with which he
went down to Greenwich with a number of other boys
and spent the greater part of the money.
He was fully committed for trial at the Old Bailey
sessions on the charge of robbery and obtaining money
by fraudulent repre,entations.
