MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the Laudon New Price Current of .Tanutiry 19.)

SUGAR.—To-day the,P was much desire manifested to
purchase all descriptions of West India Muscovado for every
purpose, and advanced rates were offered ; but the high prices
insisted upon by merchants operated considerably against
business, and the quantity sold in the private market
amounted to only 30 lihds and tierces, for which an advance
on the quotations of Friday of 2s to 3s per cwt. was given.
There was no public sale of Barbadoes. If holders had taken
a small advance on Friday's prices the market would have
been cleared.
EAST INDIA. —This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in ex-
teniive request ; and at public sale 3.624 bags were all sold
at an advance on the rates of Friday of Is per cwt.
REFINED.—TO day the inquiries. were numerous after all
sorts of Refined goods for home consumption, and further
advanced rates were offered, but the supply scanty. Bonded
crushed Sugar is much in request, and prices have risen to
34s 6d a 35s for first quality.
FOREIGN.—To-day every kind of Foreign Sugar was
much sought after by exporters, the home trade, and specu-
lators, and higher rates were offered, but business of moment
was prevented by merchants insisting upon a considerable
advance—indeed some refuse to make a price, and several
parcels have been withdrawn from the market.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was animated
for Mauritius Sugar of all kinds, and 7,437 bags at auction
were all disposed of, at an advance on those of Friday of 2s
to 2s 6d per cwt for all descriptions.
COFFEE.—This afternoon most kinds of Foreign Coffee
were in excellent request ; at public sale '2,421 bags Costa
Rica were nearly all sold at full rates for the better sorts,
but inferior went a little cheaper.
TEA.—Duty has been paid on 406,4901bs at this port
during the past week, and 6,000 packages arrived. the
market has been in an inactive state for green Tea, and the
low and middling qualities are offered rather under previous
rates, the supply being large; but for good and tine late
quotations are insisted upon. The better sorts of Congou
are little wanted, and can be obtained at a shade under last
Tuesday's rates. Pouchong is not much wanted, and 4d to
9d is the value of low to fine quality.
FRUlT.—There has only been some partial business doing
privately; a parcel of damaged Patras Currants sold at 525,
Elemes, in cases, from 43s to 45a, and some 'drums Turkey
Pulled Figs from 44s to 465, and one parcel fine at 565.
SricEs.—Pimento is in small supply, and being much in
request, a further advance in prices has taken place. In
Black Pepper a good deal has been doing privately in all
sorts, but no improvement in value can be noted. For
Whit. the dornond is on the increase, and prices on the rue_
For East India African Ginger a good demand existed, and
stiller rates are paid. Cassia Lignea has been sparingly dealt
in, and prices are going down.
SPIRITS.—To-day there was little desire evinced to operate
in Rum, and which is to be attributed to the probability of
the unrestricted use of sugar and molasses being allowed in
the distilleries and breweries; still Tiolders were not inclined
to take lower rates.

INDxGo.—East India is held with firmness at an advance
on the rates of last quarterly sale of 2d to 4d per IL
:ere has been a_ fair business transacted, the home trade
being the chief operators.

CocniNEAL—The demand has fallen off, and the market
having been well supplied, a decline in the value of Id per lb
took place, and 158 bags of Honduras Silvers, at auction,
were only in part sold, at 58 7d to 6s for mid to fine quality.
NITRATE OF SODA.—TLere has been more activity in the
market, and prices have advanced to 16s 6d to 17s per cwt,
at which good business Las been done.
TURPENTINE.—Spirits have been sparingly dealt in, and
there 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.
OILS.—For Linseed Oil rather lower rates having been
submitted to occasioned the demand on the spot to be good
at 25s to 25s 3d per cwt, mid the export orders executed
have been upon rather a larger scale. For forward delivery
there are few purcha.ers, although there are sellers at the
moderate rates of 25s 6d to 26sper cwt. Rape Seed Oil has been
in excellent request, and prices are still on the advance. Olive
has been disposed of to some extent, at further advanced rates.
Palm cannot be quoted dearer, but the demand has been active.

TALLOW.—The market has a very firm appearance for all
descriptions of Tallow ; the stock is on the decrease, and the
deliveries are going o❑ largely—although prices are much
above those of this time last seaon.

TEMPTATION AND ATONEMENT. Mrs. Gore's
clever novel " Men of Capi:al," is to be succeeded by
Temptation and Atonement,"---a tale written in a very
different style, and which exhibits the extraordinary
versatility of the author's genius. The heart stirring
earnestness of Godwin is said to be rivalled in the pages
of this story, which is one of the most thrilling interest,
and appeals to all the better sympathies of' our nature.
Its appearance will, doubtless, be hailed with satisfaction
as affording proof that one of our most popular writers
has nut been slow to profit by the hints of the press,
and is turning her unquestioned talents to sterling uses.
" STRAWBERRYHILL" is once more attracting atten-
tion, but instead of being invited to a sale of its literary and
artistical treasures, the public is entertained by an introduc-
tion to its personal celebrities, in a very remarkable work,
just published, under this title, from the pen of the author of
" Maids of Honour," " Shakspeare and his Friends," &c. In
its lively pages Horace \% alpole makes an extremely in-
teresting hero, and when we say that his associates, in the
clever and amusing story in which he figures so prominently,
are the facetious George Selwyn, the brilliant Charles
Townshend, the famous Bubb Doddington, the witty Sir
Charles Banbury Williams, with Bolingbroke,Pulteney, Pel-
ham, and the other active spirits who were such prominent
features in the society of a century since, and that among
their fair contemporaries we find the eccentric Lady Town-
shend, the gay Lady Archibald Hamilton, and such of their
celebrated rivals in wit and beauty as were regarded as the
chief ornaments of the rival Courts of George H., and his Heir
Apparent, we have sufficiently indicated the great attraction
which " Strawberry Hill" possesses for all novel readers. As
an historical novel, indeed, there can be no question that it
is one of the most amusing that has been published for
some years.
THE OBSERVER OF SUNDAY, JAN. 24.—1 n order
to give a full report of this week's very important debates,
the Observer will publish a gl atuitous supplement of twenty
columns. Price of the Observer and supplement sixpence.
A sixpence enclosed to Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand, Lon-
don, will insure a copy by return of post.
GILROY'S ART or WEAVING.—We are glad to see
re• issued, at a price (nearly one half its original cost) com-
mensurate with the means, not only of the master, but the
working manufacturer, this valuable And important work
compriseing a Practical Treatise on the Art of Weaving, by
Hand and by Power, with recent improvenients, English
arid Foreign, and a History of its Rise and Progress in
Ancient and Modern Times. Illustrated with numerous
engravings, with Calculations, Tables, &e., adapted to the
use of the Master, or Working Manufacturer and Weaver.
REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF LINCOLN.—
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton has intimated to his friends in '
Lincoln his intention of again presenting himself as a candi-
date for the representation of their city at the next general
election. There are, therefore, already four candidates in
the field—viz., the two sitting Members, Colonel Maori)
