MARKET NEWS.-(Y.ESTERDAY

CORN-EXCHANGE.
Since Monday the fresh arrivals of English Wheat have
been trifling; but, this morning, we had several samples of
that day's unsold quantities on offer. Holders were firm,
and in most instances demanded higher figures, which the
millers refesed to give, while the demand may be considered
steady at fully previous quotations. The middling and infe-
rior parcels of foreign Wheat, in bond, produced Is
per quarter more money, the value of other descriptio.as
being well supported. Free foreign Wheat was in good
request, at extreme currencies. Scarcely any Barley
on offer ; hence the rates had an upward tendency.
The suppy-of Malt was readily cleared off on full as good
terms as last advised. Oats were in brisk request, at a rise
of 3s per quarter. Several parcels found buyers for ship-
ment to Scotland. Beans, Peas, and Flour without altera-
tion. Floating cargoes of Egyptian Beans sold at 44s to
455, freight and insurance. Indian Corn was in request, at
69s to 70s for Galatz, and 64s to 66s for Italian, cost, freight,
and insurance.

The supply of Beasts on sale this morning being limited,
and the weather seasonably fine, the Beef trade was very
steady, at fully Monday's quotations. We had on offer 22
Oxen from Spain, together with 11 Oxen and 200 Sheep
from Holland. With 'Sheep we were scantily supplied;
owing to which,' the sale for that description of stock was
firm, and, in some instances, the pritnest old Downs realised
5s 24 per Bibs, at which a good clearance was effected. The
Veal trade was firm, at an. improvement in value of 2d per
81bs. Pigs moved off steadily; but we can notice no ad-
vance in prices. Milch Cows were selling at from 161 to 181
each, including their small calf.

(Prom the London New Price Current of January 15.)
SUGAA.—To-day West India Muscovado of every kind
was much wanted, and the trade were willing to pay previous
advanced rates, but business was much checked by the
scanty supply at market, and in consequence the private
sales amounted to only 100 hhds and trcs. At publie sale
152 hhds 3 tierces and 2 barrels of Tobago Sugar sold readily
at is to 2s above those that prevailed on Friday last. The
total sales for the 'week amount to 1,200 hhds and tierces.
REPINED.—The home trade have been' eager purchasers
of all descriptions of Refined Sugar, but the supply at
market has been far from sufficient for their wants, and a
further advance in prices has taken place. The Refiners
manifest much firmness on account of the large consumption
that is going on, and the continued rise in the value of the
raw article. -
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand .was active for
Mauritius Sugar, and 5,132 bags at auction sold at fully
former rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afterneon the quantity of Bengal Sugar
offered at public sale was very large, and amounted to 10,880
bags and 358 chests, still the trade were desirous to buy, and
nearly the whole sold at fully former rates.
MOLASSES.—AII sorts of West Indiaare much wanted, and
further advanced rates are offered, but business has been re-
stricted by the unwillingness of holders to sell.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 199 brls of Brazil
-Sugar were offered, and went at very full rates. Privately
a floating cargo of yellow Havannah fetched 50s 6d, and
400 cases brown Bahia at 22s per cwt.
Comm.— This afternoon there was no public sale of any
kind of Coffee, and privately there was not much passing in
home trade and shipping sorts. The value of good ordinary
Ceylon is 40s 6d to 41s per cwt. .
TEA.—The market has been in an inactive state for green
all the week, and the low and middling qualities are offered
rather under previous rates. The better sort of Congou are
little wanted; and can be obtained at a shade under last
week's rates, but in the lower kinds a good business has been
done. Pouchong is not much wanted, and 4d to 9d is the
value of low to fine quality. The bidding were very languid
at the public sales, and of the 34,134 pkgs offered, the small
proportion of only 3,800 pkgs actually found buyers.
RICE.—To-day all sorts of East India Rice were much
sought after, and further advanced rates offered, but little
was to be- had ; the value of low to fine white Bengal is
21s 6d to 28s 6d per cwt.
COCOA. —The demand bas increased considerably for Bri-
tish Plantation this week, and, although the market was well
supplied, still an improvement in prices of 2s to 3s per cwt
has taken place. The parcels of Trinidad offered at public
sale were all sold, amounting to 7.51 bags, and brought 42s
6d to 49s 6d. •

SPIRITS. -- All sorts of Jamaica Rum are purchased
freely ; indeed, nearly the whole on offer has been again
cleared off the market, and the rates paid exhibit a further
rise of 3d to 4d per gallon. Calcutta met with ready
purchasers and further advanced rates have been paid.
Leeward Island is much wanted, and prices have risen 2d to
3d. Demerara met with a free sale, and at higher quota-
tions. Brandy has been largely dealt in by the home trade;
a fair quantity was disposed of for exportation, and specula-
tors have been operating; holders evince much firmness.
Geneva met with a much better demand, and prices ad-
vanced to 2s 7d to 2s 8d for common shipping sorts, andps 2d
to 3s 6d for fine for home consumption. For British Corn
Spirits the demand is active, and supplies being but moderate,
caused the distillers to be verb firm. The quotation for Corn
Spirits being now lls 9d, Scotch and Irish lls 8d nett cash.
English Gin, 22 per cent under proof, 10s, and 17 ander
lOs 9d per gallon.
SrxcEs.—The demand has been animated for Pimento,
and the parcels sold privately were at a rise on previous
rates of id per. lb. Ginger is wanted, and the parcels of Ja-
maica and African sold privately were at better prices. Cal -
licot must be quoted 2s higher. Cassia Lignea is little wanted,
the tendency of prices is downwards. Cloves are little wanted.
Nutmegs have been sparingly dealt in. Mace met with less
attention, but late rates are sustained. In Cinnamon few
purchases have been made, and prices tend downwards for
inferior sorts, but for good and fine they rule firm.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon at public sale 158 bags of
Honduras silvers were offered, *but the demand was less
active, arid a part only sold at 5s 7d to 6s fur middling to
line, being Id cheaper.
NITRATE OF SODA.—There has been more activity in the
market this week, and prices have advanced from 16s 4d to
17s per cwt, at which a good business has been done. The
stock is still on the decrease, and likely so to continue for the
present.

TURPENTINE.—Spirits have been sparingly dealt in, and
ihere are willing sellers at 46s to 475, the stock being large.
In Rough the operations are upon a more extended scale, but
not at better prices, 103 being taken. Tar is in fair request,
and the stock is still small.

lau.s.—This afternoon at public sale 50 tuns Southern sold
at 281 to 3015 s for low to fine; 10 tuns of Sperm, low dark,
651 to 7015 s per tun.

EXTRAORDINARY ANII EXTEN-
SIVE ROBBERY IN HARDWICK-PLACE,
1)UBLIN.
On Sunday, a robbery of a very extraordinary nature
took place at No. 10, Hardwick-place, Temple-street, in
the house of Mrs. Irvine. It appears from what could be
collected in the present stage of the proceedings, that at
about half past eleven o'clock on Sunday, Mrs Irvine and
her gamily went out to church, leaving a servant man
named Patrick Donnelly in the house ; some time after
two o'clock the family returned and knocked at the door
several times, but received no answer. At last a man,
was called, who got into the area and so to the kitchen,
. where he found Donnelly with his legs tied to the La, ale,
and his hands by a cord to another portion of the table
• also. There was a rope road his chest which was at-
tached round the table, and in this position he was found,
He was at once liberated, and on being questioned he
said shortly after twelve o'clock a very respectable look-
ing man knocked at the door, and, on his opening it, the
man walked into the hall, and was at once followed by
two other persons. The "respectable" man, he said,
pulled out a pistol, levelled it at his breast, and swore if
he uttered a word he would blow his brains out. He,
(Donnelly) then went on to say, that three persons then
took him to the kitchen, where they tied him in the po-
sition he was found, and menaced him with death if
he called out. They then went up stairs, he said, and
rifled all the house, and that was the only account he
could give of the transaction. The police were called in,
and the story seeming improbable, Donnelly was taken
into custody on suspicion of being cone•rned in the rob;
brry. On examining the house it was found that desks,
drawers, presses, &c., had been forced open by a hammer#
which belonged -to the house, and which was found on
the premises, and the marks fitted. exactly. It was dis-
covered that bank notes to the following amount were
stolen ;—one 501. note, two 201. notes, two 101. note!,
four Si. notes, and five IL notes,
and the following arti-
cles of plate and other valuables :—twelve silver forks,
six table spoons, twelve dessert spoons, a large gravy
ladle, a soup ladle, eight egg spoons, six salt spoons, a
fish trowel, eight large silver spoons, two dozen plated
forks, six tea spoons, a locket set in gold, a gold coroniV,
a Mosaic ring, and a quantity of old coins. The plate
was all crested, and the whole was valued at 1651. 10s.
Besides the prisoner, his sister, Mary Boylan, and her
husband, John Boylan, a gardener, living in Eccles-late,
were apprehended, and a woman, who passed as Don-
nelly's wife. It appeared that this woman went in a
covered car in the course of Monday, to several places,
where herself and her respected husband owed money,
and paid all that was due, and Mary Boylan offered a
101. note in payment of some things which she purchased
at a shop in Dorset-street. The shopkeeper at once had
her arrested, and handed her over with the note to the
police. The whole of the parties were on Monday brought
before Dr. Kelly, at Henry-street police office, where
the above facts transpired, and his worship remanded
them until Thursday, at one o'clock. The police are in
search of the stolen property. It is _remarkable that the
house of Mrs. Irvine is situate quite convenient to
George's Church, and the policeman on duty did not ob-
serve any person enter the house during the time. The
beadle of the church was also outside, and he did not see
any person knock at the door. Ala ly who lives oppo-
s!te, and was looking through the window almost all the.
time, said she did not see any person enter the house
except a woman, whom it is suppased is Donnelly's wife.
The matter stands so at present, but it is supposed that
by Thursday some light may be thrown on it.—Dublin

It is stated by one of our contemporaries that the
French Government is about to take into consideration a
project which Napoleon intended to execute for establishing
a title of signals along the whole of the French coast, so as
to put them all in immediate communication with each other
