MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 17.)
SUGAR.--To-day there was less demand for raw
Sugar, not only for home consumption, but also for ex -
port, and for inferior sorts prices again went dovva
which is a matter of surprise; whilst for the bette r
kinds previous rates were not generally sustained; of ai
sorts there is a greater quantity on offer. Tb e
amount of business transacted in West India Muscovad o
was to a small extent only, either for the scale or re -
fining purposes, and the private sales did not exce© d
300 hhds and trcs ; the better sorts mostly brought tiv e
rates that existed on Friday, but for inferior and brow
rather lower rates were accepted. A public sale of 1540
hhds 11 tres Barbadoes went off with heaviness, and a t
a decline of 6d per cwt on the middling sorts, but th e
better kinds sustained the former value.
REFINED.—To day refined goods were offered at fur -
ther reduced rates, still few buyers were to be met witt
The value of Brown Lumps is 53s to 545, and. ,of
Standard Lumps sis6d to 555. The market is in a dull
state for Bonded Crushed Sugar, and 31s 6d to 32s pe r
cwt is the value of the fine.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bonares met wi th
less attention, and 1,298 bags at auction sold at a fall on
former rates of Is, good went at 46s to 46s 6d, go od
mid 45s 6d, mid 43s 6d to '44s 6d, low dingy 42s to 4; 3s,
good soft yellow 41s, good strong 44s 6d, damp s nd
washed 41s to 455. Of Madras, 109 bags fetched 323
6d for low damp yellow, being is lower.
MAURITIUS.—IIis afternoon there were two palic
sales, consisting of 5,234 bags, 20 casks, and 17 I,als ;
the whole sold. Middling and the better qualitios of
yellow
feriot and
brown
greya nds wentuga at ther
s
out
of
condition
currency,pric ebsuet
efeib in-ed6d to Is.

FOREIGN.—To-day at public auction 100 hha.4 of
Porto Rico Sugar were sold at about the former valar.
COFFEE.—To-day native Ceylon met with lath/ at-
tention privately, whilst good ordinary can be obta.i7ied
at 36s 6d to 37s per cwt. Plantation met with more de-
mand, and 150 cases 1,161 bags at auction were n,ear•ly
all sold at the full value.

TEA.—PrivatQly a fair amount of business had been
done in Congou at former rates. 01 Pouchong some
parcels have been sold at 5d to Bd, whilst Souchong met
with a fair sale. The good and fine qualities of Green
are required, and many parcels have been sold at about
last Tuesday's rates, but tor the lower sorts the market
has been in a dull state, and some merchants are inclined
to take rather lower prices on account of the large stock.
Scented Orange Pekoe has been in fair request at is 2d
to is 10d for middling to fine, and plain Orange 8d to
10d per lb. At public sale the quantity offered has

been 7,786 pkgs, and of which 2,750 were sold. Canton
made Imperial and Gunpowder went at a decline On
former rates of Id, but all other sorts of Tea mostly
sustained the former value. For public sales 13,000
packages are declared.
SAGO is little wanted, and 116 boxes at public sale
to-day were is per cwt decline, fine small Pearl went at
19s 6d to 20s, good 19s to 19s 6d, middling 18s 6d. Of
Jamaica Arrowroot 100 tins were sold at 8d per lb.
Ries —To-day there was little desire shown to pur-
chase East India Rice, although there were sellers upon
further reduced terms. At auction only a small part of
2,662 bags Bengal sold. Of Madras, 2,000 bags were
nearly all bought in at lower rates.
SPICES.—To-day Pimento was in good request; but
198 bags at auction were only partly sold, owing to
stiffer rates being asked. Nutmegs are more required,
and 26 cases 32 chests 8 pkgs at public sale sold at
stiffer rates. Of Mace, 8 chests sold at 2d advance.
HGPS.—There are sellers at a further reduction in the
value, still all kinds have been operated in with much
caution, and there are several parcels pressing for sale.
The accounts from the Plantations are of a satisfactory
nature. The duty for the kingdom is estimated at
185,0001.
SPrarrs.—To-day the limited business concluded in
Rum was at prices in favour of the buyers, and for proof
Leewards 2s 4d accepted. At public sale 102 casks of
Madras only fetched 2s for proof with certificate, and
which is fall on former rates of 4d per gallon.
COCHINEAL—The small parcels disposed of privately
were at prices in favour of buyers. Of 80 bags offered
at auction a part only sold. Mexican sold at full prices.
The value of Mexican black is 5s to 5s 6d, and Hon-
duras 5s 4d to 6s Bd. Of fine of the latter the supply
is still scanty.
SALTPETRE.—HoIders of rough are not disposed to
accept lower rates at present ; although large parcels
have been imported since this day week. On the part
of exporters and the home trade less desire, however,
has been shown to operate, and privately only small
parcels have been sold at 27s 6d to 283_6d for low to
mid, and at 29s to 30s for good to fine. British Refined
has been in excellent request at 33s 6d to 345. For
Nitrate of Soda the demand is on the increase, and there
are no sellers under I3s per cwt.
wooL.—The market has assumed a brisker appear-
ance improvement in prices has been
prevented f
wo
anysuers were desirous to purchase
pply. The public sales have
been
lall all kinds,
the
attended,lbge
aurt
bu
Colonial, and neatly the whole passed the hammer up to
re
the present time has actually been sold. The rates ob-
tained have been equal to those of the last auctions, al-
though the quantity declared was very large, amounting
to 30,000 bales.

Oir.s.—All descriptions of Southern Oil are wanted,
and the rates paid are equal to those that existed pre-
viously. Privately some parcels have been sold, and at
auction CO tuns all found buyers. Cod har been sold to
a fair extent at 2715 s to 271105, but for arrival sales
can be made' under these rates. Holders of seal mani-
fested firmness, and for pale the demand is good at
271 10s, indeed for small quantities 271 lOs to 281 have
been obtained. Other sorts move off steadily. Sperm
has met with attention, and the parcels sold privately
were at previous rates. At auction 43 tuns found buyers.
There are further arrivals of Fish Oils, but the con-
sumption is going on satisfactorily. The market for
Linseed Oil has assumed a quiet appearance, and there
being a better supply a fall in prices of 6d per cwt has
taken place, exportErs and the home trade have operated
with caution, and 27s 3d per cwt is the quotation on the
spot. For forward delivery purchases to a fair extent
have been made in consequence.
TALLOW.—The purchases made in Russian on the
spot have been limited by the town and country trade,
and the rates taken are 47s 6d for old, and 47s 9d to
48s for New Petersburgh Yellow Candle of first quality,
upon which terms there are ready sellers. For de-
livery there are few buyers to be met with,
although fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle can be ob-
tained at 47s at the end of the month, and at 46s 6d per
cwt for the last three months of the year. Ilome-made
is little wanted. For other kinds of Tallow the market
is in a dull state. and prices are on the decline.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VIOE-CHANCELLOii'S COURT, Aug. 14,
(Before Sir L. :..lIADWELL.) •
PITMAN V. BURGE.

Mr. %via moved for an injunction to restrain the de-
fendants, Mr. Burge, Queen's Counsel, and Messrs. &li-
ning and Co., law publishers, from printing, publishing,
selling or disposing of a book called "Commentaries on
the Law of Suretyship, and the Rights and Obligations
of the Parties thereto," or of any other book containing
passages copied or taken from the plaintiff's work
called " A Treatise on the Law of Principal and Surety."
It appeared from the affidavit read in support of the
motion, that the defendant's work, which was published
in June last, contained many passages taken verbatim,
and many others colourably altered, from the plaintiff's
work, which was published in June, 1840.
His Hortourt having inspected copies of each of the
above works, immediately granted the injunction in the
terms of the motion.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 16.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE COGHILL.
This insolvent, who was a surveyor in Aylesbury,
came up for his interim order.
The debts are about 40L He petitioned this Court
some time back, and in due time came up for a hearing.
It appeared that he had accepted a b;11 for his brother
whilst in insolvent circumstances. The first petition,
owing to an informality in the wording, was dismissed.
Having been several weeks in prison, he was released
e gto ay off the debt in instalments of 51.
-‘22.-atrien-ipald ttd firet-instathient;trut railing to pay
the second was arrested again and thrown into prison.
He again petitioned the Court, and this being the day
appointed for the hearing of his interim order, he was
brought up in the custody of the gaoler of Aylesbury
prison.
After hearing the case, the Commissioner adjourned
the meeting for a month.
The gaoler applied to the Court for the costs he had
incurred in bringing the insolvent from Aylesbury to
the court, in obedience to the order of the Commissioner.
Ho hoped his Honour would grant him the money he
had been out of pocket.
The COMMISSIONER said he could not interfere.
The gaoler asked if he was to be at the loss of the
railway fare from Aylesbury up and down, and the in-
solvent's maintenance.
The COMMISSIONER said he could not interfere, as
there were no assets.
The gaoler said it was an extremely hard case. If he
disobeyed the order of the court he might be punished
legally, and by obeying it he was money out of pocket,
The COMMISSIONER said there was no fund from which
he could order his expenses.
The gaoler said he supposed he must put up with the
loss.

The insolvent was taken back to Aylesbury prison.
It seems singular that some provision was not made
for a case of this sort, but it is not likely to occur again,
as on and after the 16th of next month insolvents like
this will, under the new Act, which will then come into
operation, be dealt with in the districts in which they
are imprisoned.
EXTENSIVE FAILURES IN THE CORN TRADE.
It was yesterday rumoured that several heavy cases of
failures in the corn trade will shortly come before this
court. A fiat was yesterday opened before Mr. Com-
missioner Fonblanque in a case in which it was said the
debts and liabilities are very heavy, occasioned by specu-
lations in corn. We forbear mentioning the name of the
house, although the fiat was opened in public court, as it
aw, be superseded within the next
fimvaeyd,
aayccs.ording to the I

A CHILD
BURNED ALIVE BY ITS PARENT.—A
military
pensioner, named Darmody, rider to a posting
establishment at Bird Hall, near Nensgli, returned horse
one night this week in a state of beastly drunkenness,
when be went into the bedroom where his two children
slept, and taking one of them, a little girl, out of bed,
put her on the fire, and there kept her until she was
burned to death. The other 3hild rushed screaming out
of the home to the police barrack, and gave information
of the dreadful act her father had perpetrated. Upon
the police entering the house, they saw the wretch
stupidly gazing upon his daughter's calcined remains,
and apparently ut.conscious of what he had done. The
brute has been gonnaitted to Nenagh gaol.
