MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 25.)

Congou a good business has been transacted
during the last few days, and in some cases rather higher
rates have been obtained; the sorts at and under Is per
lb meetinc, with the most attention. Of Green large
parcels of various sorts have been sold, at fully former
prices, and there is a less quntity on offer. Scented
Teas are in brisker request, and held with more firmness.
RICE.—To-day the market had a dull appearance for
every sort of Rice, and for East India prices further
gave way : at public sale 985 pkts 1,656 bags Bengal
were sold at a reduction on former rates of Is, making
the fall for the week 2s ; 170 bags of Italian sold at 20s
to 20s 6d for good bold sound white.
SPICEW—To-day at public sale 25 barrels Jamaica
Ginger were sold at 51s to 60s for good ordinary and
middling, which is cheaper; 75 bags African sold at 4s
to 5s under former rates ; good bold went at 35s to
35s 6d, middling 335, and damaged 20s to 32s 6d. Pi-
mento met with attention privately, but 150 bags at auc-
tion were taken in at 5d for middling, which is above the
value.

COCEUNEAL.—This afternoon the demand was limited
for Cochineal. At public sale 34 bags of Mexican sold
at full rates. 40 bags Honduras sold at 5s 3d to 5s 10d
for middling to fine silvers, which is ld to 2d higher.
Rum, BRANDY, AND LIOLLANDS.—AIthough there are
sellers of Leeward Island Rum at a further reduction in
the value, still the purchases made have been trifling,

SEEDS.—A good business has been transacted in

WESTMINSTER HALL.—Her Majesty and Prince
Albert, accompanied by the King and Queen of the
Belgians, and suite, inspected the cartoons in Westmin-
ster Hall this afternoon. Her Majesty remained some
time in the Hall, and afterwards spent a few minutes in
the House of Lords.

The prosecutor in this case was Monsieur Encoutier,
a merchant residing in Paris, and the defendant Monsieur
Fonteine de Morcean, who carries on the business of a
patent agent in London. The indictment charged the
defendant with having on the 18th February, 1846, com-
mitted wilful and corrupt perjury, by making an affidavit
in which he stated that the prosecutor was indebted to
him in the sum of 544, knowing at the same time that
there was no ground whatever for such a statement.
It appeared that in 1844 the prosecutor had certain
transactions with the defendant, relative to the procuring
of some patents in this country, and also relative to
the disposal of some brandy which had been entrusted
to the care of the defendant. A dispute arose between
the prosecutor and the defendant concerning the charges
made by the latter, particularly with regard to two
items of 271. 2s. 10d. and 11/. 12s. ld., the expenses in-
curred by landing the brandies at Nicholson's wharf,
and for which the defendant contended he was liable.
It was agreed by the parties that the brandies should be
entered in the name of a third party, a friend of the pro-
secutor, who should become liable for those last two
amounts, and with that and some other reductions the
prosecutor settled the defendant's account. Subsequently,
however, a claim was made by the defendant of 541.,
which included these two sums, and when the prosecu-
tor visited this country again in February, 1846, the
defendant made an affidavit for the purpose of holding
him to bail for the amount.

The jury, after an investigation which lasted the
whole of the day, returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence
deferred.

FINING JURYMEN.
No less than eight special jurymen were ordered by
Lord Denman to be fined 101. each for non-attendance.

SUGAR.—To-day importers of Raw Sugar were stik
willing sellers, and in some instances actually further
reduced their prices; the consequence was that there was
a good demand from the home trade, and exporters pur-
chased a fair quantity. Of West India Muscovado the
private sales amounted to 310 hhds and trcs at rather
lower rates, making the fall for the week is to is 6d
per cwt.

REPINED.—To- day there was a brisker demand for
Refined goods from the home trade, in consequence of
58s to 59s being taken for brown, and 59s 6d to 60s for
Standard Lumps. The market for Bonded Crushed
Sugar is quiet at 33s 6d.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was not much
desire shown to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and 460
bags at auction were only in part sold at the reduced
rates previously quoted, viz., fine brown 38s, middling
40 to 41s, good middling 425, washed 36s to 41s, and
syrupy 37s to 40s.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was not
much in demand, and 1,00 bags at auction went at
barely former rates.
FOREIGN.--To-day two cargoes of yellow llavannah
' were sold privately at 25s 6d to 26s per cwt.
MOLASSES.—There are sellers of West India of low to

fine quality at 18s to 225, but few buyers are to be met
with. The stock continues on the increase, and is far
greater than it was last season. In East India little
business has been done, and prices are on the decline.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 481 bags and
3 casks of Ceylon were offered, and all sold at about
former rates. Jamaica was not much in request, and
129 casks at auction were only in part sold at about
former rates, good middling 81s to 83s, middling 675,
low middling 57s 6d to 61s Gd, fine fine ordinary 523 6d
to 535, good and fine ordinary 41s 6d to 465, triage 31s
to 395, superior quality was taken in at 90s per cwt.
COCOA.—The market for British Plantation is in a
dull state, and prices are on the decline; whilst the
arrivals are on the increase and amount to 900 pkgs
since this day week. At public sale 605 bags Trinidad
were only in part sold. A further fall in the value is
looked for, as there is a large quantity to arrive.
Foreign is dull of sale, and previous rates are not ob
tainable.
