MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of March 12 )

SUGAR.—To-day, although there was-a large amount of
business transacted in East India and Mauritius Sugar, for
home consumption, no improvement took place in the value.
REFINED.—To-day there was a large amount of business
transacted in refined goods for home use; but the refiners
were willing sellers at former reduced rates, 63s 6d being
taken for standard lumps. Bonded crushed Sugar is cheaper,
and 35s to 35s 6d accepted for first sort.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were six public sales
of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 6,638 bags and 80 chests, the
principal part of which was disposed of, and generally at
former rates for white and the better sorts of yellow, but
brown and inferior yellow kinds went 6d cheaper.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 73 cases and 35
brls Bahia Sugar, duty paid, were offered, and chiefly taken
in and withdrawn.

Mauurrws.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in ex-
cellent request, and 5,600 bags 490 casks at public sale were
sold at fully previous rates, and, in some instances, rather
above.

MorAsszs.—There has been little business transacted in any
kind of West India this week, and the tendency of prices
is downwards for all sorts. There is a fair quantity on offer.
At public sale this afternoon 90 hhds of Cossipore taken in at
275.

TEA.—Public sales are announced to take place on Thurs-
day next, the quantity announced at present is 16,000 pkgs.
None has arrived this week; whereas the quantity on which
duty was paid was very large, and a fair quantity was taken
for exports. There has been a desire generally manifested by
holders of Congou to realise on account of the heavy arrivals,
and they have submitted to a slight reduction on former rates.
COME.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was less in re-
quest. At public sale 1,003 bags Plantation Ceylon were
offered, but a part only sold at full rates.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with little attention
privately. At public sale 2,088 bags Bengal were offered, but
all the sound was taken in at the full value.
SALTriaitE.—There was a good demand for Rough to-
day; and 1,500 bags of Calcutta at public sale were sold at
full rates. English Refined is selling at 30s to 30s 6d.
Nitrate of Soda is yet in good demand at 17s to 17s 6d
per cwt.

SPIRITS.—The demand has been extremely limited for all
swoaretsko;f
but Vi'estnlonlddeiara peaßaurmforrinhlordeiuspsnesaana to and exportation
tn thisany
further decline in prices; whilst buyers, on the other hand,
only take sufficient for their immediate wants. Calcutta can
be obtained at 3s 5d to 3s 6d proof. In Leeward Island there
has been scarcely any business done, and 3s 8d to 3s 9d is
the nearest value. For Demerara the market is in a flat
state, the value of strong sorts is 5s to 55 3d. For Brandy
the market is in a quiet state, and prices tend downwards.
Oms.—Holders of Olive Oil manifest much firmness, and
large parcels have been disposed of. Palm met with little
attention for exportation, but the home demand is good ;
prices do not improve. In Rape Seed Oil a large amount of
bu-iness has been transacted, and at firmer rates. There are
several buyers of Cocoa Nut, but little is yet to be had, and
prices are on the advance. Linseed Oil met with less atten-
tion this week, the prices taken on the spot have been 26s 6d
to 26s 9d. In Cod Oil several purchases have been
made, but holders are still inclined to sell at 271 to 271105.
Seal met with a fair demand, and prices rule high. A good
demand exited for all sorts of Southern, and, the supply
being less plentiful, holders are enabled to obtain stiffer rates.
Sperm met with increased attention, but little improvement
in the value can be quoted.

DISTRESSING SuicmE.—Yesterday morning a
female named Jane Coussans, the wife of an omnibus con-
ductor, residing at No. 2, Cannon's-buildings, Suffolk-street,
Mile-end, committed suicide under the following very dis-
tressing circumstances :—For some time past she has been
leading a very irregular life, and during the absence of hem
husband a man named Cullingford frequently visited her.
This circumstance came to the knowledge of her husband,
and on Saturday last he met Cullingford in the Whitechapel.
road, and accused him with having had an intimacy with his
wife. Cullingford admitted that he had, and Coussans im-
mediately struck him. He was instantly given in charge of
a police-constable, and on the following Monday he was
taken before the magistrates at Worship-street, anti after a
long inquiry he was discharged. On the same evening Mrs.
Coussans endeavoured to destroy herself, but was prevented
by her husband. She continued very low and dejected
during the week, and repeatedly said she should never be
happy any more. Yesterday morning she procured her
husband's breakfast as usual, and in about two hours after he
had left home she was discovered suspended from a nail in
the wall, between the windows. Mr. Anningson, a surgeon,
was immediately called in, and pronounced life to be quite
extinct. She was i 9 years of age, and has left two children.

interview, yesterday, with the Chanceller of the Exchequer.
