MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Front the London New Price Current of July 7.)
&MAR.—Since this day week there has been a cessation
in the demand for British Plantation, and both grocers and
refiners have purchased very sparingly of all sorts; but the
merchants have remained firm, and former rates have been
fully supported: at a public sale of 88 hhds 6 tierces
mad 26 barrels St. Lucia prices however gave way 6'l
for yellow sorts, but other kinds maintained former
rates; fine brown fetched 79s to 79s 61., low middling
yellow 80s 6d to 81s, middling 81s 6d to 82.3, good 83; to
23s 6d, 17 tierces fine brown and middling grey Demerara
went at 793 6d to 818 6d per cwt : the total sales f,,r the
three market days did not exceed 950 hhds and tierces.—
The arrivals continue light, and chose during the past week
have not been equal to tbe,se of last year daring the same
time; 1.5,000 hhds. less have boon imported this
than last year. The stocks of Sugar in the kingdom sub-
ject to the lose rate of duty, are 28,000 tons less than last
year at this time.

and yellow descriptions ; for refining purposes a fair busi-
ness was done, and the imparters obtained an advance on
the rates of Friday of 6d to is upon all qualities: the private
sales amounted to 450 hhds and tierces, which comprised
the chief part on show; brown descriptions left off
at 754 to 813, low to middling yellow 82s to 841,

the comparative stocks, and also the increasing deliveries,
have given buyers as well as sellers more confidence as to
the future prospects of the article. The arrivals are still
small. One hundred and ten casks new Barbadocs were
offered at public sale, and all sold is above former rates ;

On Friday night last, about twelve o'clock, a
newly erected cottage, near the railroad station at Romford,
occupied by the widow Belse', was broken into. Mrs. Belsey,
who was the only inmate, being awoke by a noise down stairs,
rout of bed, and took hold of the handle of her bed-room
, which was locked : she then heard the footsteps of some
person on the stair, and called out" Who's there?" She was
answered, and commanded with an oath to open the door ; this
so alarmed her that she ran to her chamber window, got out
an the kitchen, and, letting herself down into the back-yard,
went inte an empty house adjoining. Whilst there she heard
the person breaking her chamber door, and ran for assistance,
in her night dress, to the landlord of the Liberty Arms, about
MO yards distant ' • he proceeded with others to her cottage, and
osa going np stairs discovered the bed-room door forcibly broken
epee, but could find no person about the premises. There is
no doubt, on the man's obtaining admittance into the room, and
set finding Mrs. Belsey there, he made a precipitate retreat.
On Mrs- Belsey's return to her bed-room she discovered that a
ailetr watch, which she had deposited under her pillow, had
hilin stolen. A man in the employ of Mr. Withers, who had
been working on the premises, was apprehended on Saturday
enspieion, but there not being sufficient eridenetTgninst him
°so was 41W/barged.
