MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Front the London New Price Current of February 11. )
St:nee —British Plantation was in steady demand last
week by both grocers and refiners.
To day the show of British Plantation Sugar being in-
different operated against buying, and the purchases were
; bright yellow qualities prices above those of last
week. At public sale 100 libels Barbadoes were offered,
and sold with much animation Is above previous rates fur
r*ii lei in and 6d fer good deseripfice s, middling fetched
66; a 67; lid, good middling 683 a 68s Gd, sad good 694
a 69; 61 per cwt ; there was no fine in the sale.
REFINED. —To day Refined goo Is were in flood request
by the grocers, and standard Lumps were difficult to be
obtained et 793 per cwt. Treacle of common quality finds
a good sale at 32-3 6 1 ; other kinds move off steadily at our
quotations. Bastards and Pieces of all kinds arc in good
request at previous rates. Bonded Crushed Sugar secures
a good sale at 34s 6d for present delivery, and 34; 3d to
wait a few weeks. In Loaves and Pieces small sales were
made at previous prices.
MAURITIUS. —There has been a fair amount of business
transacted privately in all descriptions, at prices on a par
with those of this day week. None has been offered at
auction, but 3.000 bags are declared for to-morrow. One
arrival since we last wrote.
Eesr lerte. —This afternoon the public sales consisted
of 1,000 bags Bengal, 7,716 bags Siam, and 149 bags Ma-
nilla. The Bengal sold with much spirit at prices is above
those previously quoted ; fine coloury white, not very bright,
fetched 71s 6d to 723, good 70a 61 to 71s, bright yellow
683 61 to 693 6J, damps 68s to 693, washed 69s to 71s 6d;
privately some parcels were disposed of on similar terms,
an i the grocers are much in want of this kind. Siam were
all disposed of, but the bidding; were languid, and rather
lower rates were submitted to, bat, upon the whole, pre-
vious prices were supported; good fair white sold at 27; to
27s 6d, mid 26s to 26s Gd, low mid 24; 6d to 25s 6d, low
mid greyish 25s to 25s 6d, soft 23s to 255, fine yellow 24s
to 245 Gd, good 23s 6d, mid 22; 6d, damps 22s 6d to 25s
61, washed 20; to 245. Manilla went at 22? 6d for fine
brown, and one lot middling yellow 235, being very full
prices.
FOREIGN.—There has been some inquiry for yellow
flavannah, but the merchants generally not being dis-
posed to sell on former terms have checked business,
and the sales privately have been trivial; 366 boxes were
offered at auction, and fetched previous rates, viz. brown
21s to 225, low to good mid yellow 22s 6d to 255, damaged
2ls to e3s per cwt ; white is not asked for. Brown qualities
of Brazil are wanted, chiefly by our refiners, who would pay
late rates, but the small supply operates against the execu-
tion of orders ; ord kinds of white have been sought after by
them and small parcels have been disposed of at 24s to 24s
61 for low mid ; good sorts are held firmly, but there are
not many buyers.
Corny,. —Previous rates have been maintained for all
clean descriptions of British Plantation ; unclean kinds have
met with a dull sale at rather lower prices. Igor Mocha
the advanced rates previously quoted have been fully sup
ported.
This afternoon there was more life in the market, and a
fair business was transacted by private contract in East
and West India to supply the wants of the home trade,
and previous rates were maintained ; nearly all the lots
bought in at the lato auctions have been disposed of at the
rates established thereat : there was no public sale. In the
Foreign market there is still little life, but prices remain
firm ; at auction 180 bags St. Domingo sold at 48s to 49s
for good ord mixed quality.
RlCE.—This afternoon Bengal was in fair request pri-
vately at previous rates ; but for other kinds there were
fee buyers; 1.617 bags Siam, and 528 bags damaged Java
were offered at auction, the former sold at caster prices,
viz , 10a 6d to 11s for middl IT yellowish white, the latter
fetched 7s 6d t. 8; per cwt.
Oit.s.—For Linseed Oil prices have advanced to 24s
3d to 244 6d per cwt for immediate delivery, for forward
delivery there are buyers to a fair extent. Rape improved
to 37s for pale, and 36s for brown. Olive, the tendency
of prices is upwards. Palm at 331 lOs to 34l 103. East
India Cocoa Nut 423 to 43; 63. Pale Seal at 291 to 301.
Cod at 28/155 to 291. Sperm, fine quality, 112/ per tun,
RUM, BRANDY, AND LIOLLANDS.—There has been only
a limited demand for Jamaica Rum since we last wrote,
but the merchants remain firm, and former rates have been
supported ; the supply is smell, particularly of fine descrip-
tions ; the sales have been 150 puns, 26 to 30 per cent
overproof at :is 6,1 to 5s 9d, 33 to 38 over 5s 103 to
63, stronger and favourite marks 6s Id to 6; bd. Irs Lee-
wards the operations have been on a small scale, and
prices have given way 1 d for common kinds, but strong
descriptions have maintained former quotations : 200 puns
have been disposed of: proof to 3 per cent cverproof at. 35
7d to 33 Bd, 8 to 12 over 3s 103 to 4s, 30 to 35 over 53 21
to 5s 4d, 36 to 40 over 53 bd to 53 9d per gallon. The
arrivals continue to come in slowly : the stock is nearly on
a par with that of last year. For Ea‘t India 10 pet cent
overproof 3s 9d is asked ; it is reported that it is the inten-
tion of Government to reduce the duty, probably to 9a per
gallon. Brandy is held for rather higher rates, and there
has been a much better demand ; a large business has been
transacted in Cognac at the following rates, viz., first brands
of the vintage of 1836 at bs Id to 5s 3d, do 1837 4s 113 to
53.1 d, do 1838 4,7 d to 43 9d. In Bourdeaux, sales have
been made at 2s 8d to 23 9d; at these rates several holders
are not inclined to realize, in consequence of the negotia-
tion between our Government end the French, respecting
a reduction in the duty ; the general opinion is, that if any
alteration is made, it will be fixed at 15s per gallon ; should
this be the case, it will much increase the consumption.
Geneva has secured a lair sale at 2s to 23'1d. Prices re-
main low for English Corn Spirits, but at the present rate
of 93 10d the demand is good.
To day there was only a limited business doing in
Jamaica Rum, but prices remain firm : Leeward! sell
slowly, but proofs are not obtainable under 3s 7d per gal-
lon. Brandy is in excellent demand at the rates quoted
above.
SPICES.—By private contract Black Pepper is in less
request, but prices remain firm. For Pimento prices are
rather higher ; Cassia Lignea principally for shipping,
rather above previous quotations.
This afternoon 86 bags Pepper. and 20 bags Mace were
offered at auction ; the former were taken in rather above
their value, viz. 4d for good light Sumatra, 3,-1 was bid.
Mace sold at 3s 2d to 3s 4d for very old Dutch. Cassia
Lignea is held firmly, middling quality is not obtainable
under 80s per cwt.
TEA—The demand for Free Trade Tea was extreme]
limited last week for actual consumption ; Capitalistsy
altogether refrained from purchasing, and some parties who
had to meet their prompts were compelled to submit to a
reduction on previous rates, of 2d to 3d per lb, to
dispose of small parcels for cash, and accepted 2s 8d to 2s
Bid for common Congou, and 23 10d to 2s 104 d for
Twankay, nearly all the parcels, however, offering at this
reduction were disposed of; some small holders made con-
tracts with prompts rather under former prices, and ac-
cepted 2s 10d to 2s 102 d for common Congous, and 2s
Ild to 2s 111 for Twankay ; the principal merchants, how-
ever, refused to sell, excepting at previous rates, and cur
general quotations underwent no change : on Saturday,

them was a better disposition evinced on
the part of the ticide to purchase, and a fair business Was
transacted in common Congou at 2s 9d, and Twankay at
2-3 1011 for cash, the latter were the moat in request.
Company's Congou, which was dull of sale in the middle
part of the week at 2s 91 to 2s lid for cash and with a
prompt, was more sought after on liaturday, and a good
many parcels were cliposed of at improved rates, viz.. at
2s 103 for cash, and 2s lid to 3a Id with a two and three
months' prompt : a vessel has arrived from Hong Kong off
the coast. The overland mail is hourly expected, and is
inked for with much anxiety by all parties connectei with
the Tea trade. The deliveries during the past week have
been 400.000163. To-day prices were firna for all kinds
of T.:a, but the demand was limited, buyers waiting for the
overland mail; the latest rates at which business was ac-
tually done was as follows : —common free trade Congoth
money 2s 91, with a prompt 2s Ild to 33, Twankay
10i1. with a prompt 2s 11d, Compasy's Con-
goo 23 101 to 3s m )ney and prompt, but the sales were
on a small scale. Half. past four o'clock—The Tea de-
claration las just been i=sued, and contains the large
quantity of 98,000 pack,ge3, or 6,000,000 lbs; the mar•
Ica is in a very dull state.
TALLOW. —Thera has been an excellent demand for
P. Y. Candle on the spot sinee we last wrote, and prices
have advanced to 50. to 50s 3l for first quality. For de-
livery in the two next months, the improved rice of 50a
per cat ; for delivery in the last three months 49s 61,
there are buyers to a fair extent at 48s, but no sellers
thereat ; at auction. 320 cssks South American so d at
48. 31 to 493 61. Town Tallow has secured a good sale.
To-day there was a large business transacted in P. Y. C.
on the spot as we'l as for delivery in the two sett months
at 593 to 503 61 per cwt ; same sales were made for 00-
tober, November, and December at 491 61 per cwt.

Among the most resplendent of the illuminations
of Monday night, which deserve especial notice, may be men-
tioned the American Wine Stores, Oxford-street. This estab-
lishment, which is one of the greatest architectural ornaments
of the metropolis, was lit from the top to the basement with
wax candles; and even after viewing the more gorgeous dis-
play of oil and gas, had an extremely chaste, brilliant, and
novel effect.
ENGLAND'S AID TO HER ALLIES.--Within
twelve months from the commencement of the war she sent

field artillery, 42,000 rounds of ammunition, 200,000 muskets,
61,000 swords, 79,000 pikes, 23.000,000 ba'l cartridges
6,000,000 leaden balls, 15,000 barrels of gunpowder, 92,000
suits of clothing, 360,000 sets of accoutrements and pouches,
310,000 pairs of shoes, 40 tents, 250,000 yards of cloth, 10,000
sets of camp equipage, 118,000 yards of linen, 50,000 Brea
coats, 50,000 canteens, 50,000 haversacks, with a variety of
other stores, far too numerous to be recapitulated.—Marwelrs

MR. WILLIs'S "I.OITERINGS OF TRAVEL:
—Who that has read Mr. Willis's " Pencillings by the Way,
or indeed any of his works, will not welcome his re-appearance
hi the world of literature? To say that he is a pleasan twriter,
is to say nothing to the purpose ; he is a charming author—an
author ssliose pages are never dull, and with wham the reader
is
lath to part. Let Sir. Willis write on what subject he will, he
is sure to be always lively. He writes well and pleasantly on
the most unpromising topics. What would be no subject to
another, is an excellent subject to him. His imagination is as
fertile as his power of clothing his ideas in pleasant and appro-
priate phraseology is great. " Loiterings of Travel" furnishes
us with a striking proof of the versatility of Mr. Willis's talents.
We have said that the greater portion of the work consists of
tales, legends, and other articles which essentially belong to
that class of literature called fiction ; but the remainder em-
braces personal portraitures, sketches of society, poetry, de-
seriptions of natural scenery, and of the external aspect of the
leading streets of the metropolis.-- Grast's London Journal.
ARREST OF A WELSH CHAftTIST.—The
City of Waterford police have arrested, at Passage, near the
mouth of the Suir, a respectable-looking roan, named John.
Jones, supposed to be connected with the recent proceedings in
Monmouthshire. He is now confined in the gaol of Waterford.
It a;,pears that Jones had taken his passage in a vessel fro=
Liverpool to New York, which, having been driven into Pas-
sage during the late gales, he was recognised by some of the
police as answering to the description given of one of the most
active Chartists in the recent outbreak.
