PRICE OF SUGAR.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending September 14
1848, is 235. 44d. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 13.)
SUGAR.— To-day a further depression took place in
quotations of both Colonial and Foreign Sugar, as large
parcels were pressed for sale. In West India a good
business was concluded, but at low and irregular rates,
and refiners were again the chief operators. The
quantity sold was 650 hogsheads, &c. At auction
4 hogsheads, 71 tierces, and 70 barrels of St. Vincent's
crystallized went at low rates; yellow at 36s to 40s,
good 42s to 445, and low brown 32s to 33s per cwt.
The total quantity of Sugar sold for the week is 2,760
hhds, &c.; the decline in prices during that time amounts
to is per cwt, and the market closes with a quiet ap-
pearance.
REFINED.—To day there was much dulness in the
home trade refined market, and prices are further de-
pressed, standard lumps selling at 50s, and brown gro-
cery 49s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is much
wanted, but quotations do not advance.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was not more
active for Mauritius Sugar, and 2,154 bags at auction
went Gd cheaper, but nearly the whole sold—fine brown
33s to 33s 6d, good 32s 6d, low 28s to 29s 6d, ordinary
. yellow 348 to 34s 6d, middling 35s to 35s 6d, good 36s
to 375, fine grey 37s to 37s 6d, washed 29s to 36s 6d,
and syrupy 29s to 365.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
a dull demand, and 62 cases 1,720 bags at auction went
upon lower terms by Is per cat, fine 'white Benares
42s 6d to 43s 6d, good 40s to 40s 6d, low 38s, damp
and washed 38s to 435, middling sound yellow 35s to
358 6,1; low was taken in at 335, and good damp brown
29s to 30s. Of Penang 288 pkgs were offered, and taken
is, low soft damp greyish yellow at 335. Of 297 pkgs
Ceylon, a part only sold, middling greyish yellow at
34a to 34s 6d, low 335, damp and 'washed 323 to 34s
per cwt.
FOREIGX.—This afternoon little desire was shown to
do business in Foreign Sugar by private treaty, and 166
hhds 121 barrels and 9 trcs of Porto Rico at auction
went Is per cwt cheaper; fine yellow sold at 39s 6d to
41s, good 37s 6d to 19s, middling 36s 6d to 375, low
35s 6d to 36s per cwt.
MoiAssEs.---Few sales have been made•by private
treaty, and sellers are disposed to accept rather lower
rates. At auction 100 puns of old West India were
taken in at 15s per cwt; finest new will not fetch above
18s 6d. The stock is still much smaller than last year.
Bengal Treacle is held for 15s to 16s, but few buyers are
to be met with.
COFFEE.—On the part of holders of Jamaica there is
more firmness, and they have scantily supplied the mar-
ket this week. For inferior kinds few buyers are to be
met with; still full rates are insisted upon. The sorts
above low middling, however, met with mote attention,
and realized stiffer rates; of fine the quantity at market
is trifling. At auction 40 casks, &c. Jamaica, consisting
of low to fine ord, were only in part disposed of at 24s
to 32s per cwt. The public sales of Coffee declared to
take place next week consist of 1,500 barrels washed
Rio, 160 trcs, 340 brls, 100 bags Jamaica, 400 bags
Company's Java, 3,000 bags Costa Rica, 1,000 bags, 90
casks Plantation Ceylon, and 100 bags Native. To-day
there was no -public-sale,- whereas few purchases were
made privately by exporters or home trade buyers. In
prices there was scarcely any variation.
TEA.--In consequence of large arrivals of Green,
buyers_ have manifested little desire to do business this
week, and sellers are inclined to accept rather lower rates.
For Black there is a firm market, still the demand is not
so good in consequence of the parcels come to hand, but
sound common Congou is held for 8d to Bid, and good
'common
9d to 9kd per lb. Public sales will take place
next week.
Cocoa.—For West India the market looks firm, and
little has been offered at public sale. Purchases to a fair
extent have been made by private treaty upon fully for-

RICE.—To-day there was no public sale of East India
to 4b4usy,

of

and
Rice, whilst privately scarcely any demand existed, and
prices are little better than nominal; middling and good
white Bengal can be obtained at I Is to 12s 6d, fine 13s to
13s 6d.

SALTPETRE.—British refined is much wanted and an
advance in the value is apparent, sales having been made
at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt, at which there are not willing
sellers. Refiners have many orders on hand, and there is
an enlarged consumption. Holders of rough show much
firmness, and have refrained from submitting any to public
sale this week. On the part of exporters and home trade
buyers much desire is evinced to operate in all sorts, whilst
the rates paid are fully equal to those previously current.
For Nitrate of Soda quotations remain at 13s to 13s 6d
per cwt, and at which several parcels have been sold.
SPIRITS.—For Leeward Island Rum the market has a
dull appearance, and prices tend downwards, the sales
for the week do not exceed 150 puns at Is 7d to is 8d
proof, at which there is a desire to realize. East India is
little wanted, and for 50 hhds is 6d have been ac-
cepted proof with certificate. In Jamaica few purchases
have been made for home trade purposes, whilst export
orders are trifling, and quotations tend downwards.
The value of 21 to 28 per cent, over proof is as to 3i 3d,
30 to 38 over mid and good 3i 4d to 3s 9J, fine 3s 10d
to 45 3d, and choice marks 4s 4d to 43 6d. For
Demerara the market is dull, and sellers are dis-
posed to accept 2s 2,1 to 2s 7d for 24 to 38
per cent over proof, and 2s 8d to 2s 9d for fine. Prices
are well kept up for Brandy, and there is a good
trade doing chiefly for home consumption; deliveries
also exceed arrivals. We quote Cognac best brands
of the vintage of 1846 at 4s 10d to ss, ditto 1847,
at 33 10d to 4s, inferior 2s 61 to 3s 7d, and Bordeaux
2s to 2s 6d. Geneva is selling at 2s to 2s Id for expor-
tation, and fine for duty at 2s 9d to 3s 6d per gallon •
there is still only a small stock. For British made Spirits
there is yet much firmness in the market, and tradeir is
brisk.
SPICES.—To-day at auction 954 pockets and 20 bags
Bengal Ginger sold at advanced rates—good bold export
sort at 24s 6d to 25s 611, mid 22s 6,1 to 235, and da•
maged 22s to 23s 6d ; 1 chest of Alice ; mid sound
2s 3d ; 2 chests Nutmegs, mid brown 2s 8d to 2s 9a,
wormy 6d to Is 8d ; 5 bags white Pepper, good 44d
per lb.

COCHINEAL.—Orders aro getting larger for all sorts,
and holders are less disposed to realize; by private
treaty several parcels have been sold upon full terms.
At auction 69 bags were disposed of.
INDIGO.—For public competition on Tuesday the 14th
of October the quantity of East India declared is now
8,283 chests, and. the inspection has commenced. There
is firmness in the market ; and a fair home and export
demand exist at prices rather above those of the last
quarterly auctions. Spanish is held for fully last week's
rates. At auction 140 serons Guatemala were disposed
of at 2s to 3s 9d for cortes and Sobres.

FaUlT.—The demmailfor Currßeats bas been very

limited this week, and pH-de-flare rather easier, and rule
at 34s to 395. Since our last we have had five cargoes
of New Valencia Raisins. The price opened at 455,
at which prices they still confirm?. The grocers buy
very sparingly, just sufficient to supply their immediate
wants. New Sultana Raisins are selling slowly at 755.
Figs 84s to 90s.

TALLOW.—'Phis afternoon the public sales of Tallow
went off briskly, and at stiffer rates; 133 casks Odessa
sold at 46s 6d to 46s 9,1; 1,146 packages South Ameri-
can 45s to 46s 3d; 576 casks New South Wales 43s 9d
to 478 3d; 101 casks P. Y. Candle 46s to 46s 3d, second
sort 45s 3d to 45s 9d; 41 casks of Soap 42s 3d to 44s
9d per cwt.

OILS —This afternoon, at auction, 191 casks Palm
Oil sold at 29s to 30s 6d for mid to good, and 131
packages Cocoa Nut 39s 6d to 40s 6d per ca►t.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Piton TIEC MORNING PAPERS OF TNIS DAY.
TlMES.—There is really a gnat deal of interest to
he acquired in the seizing of California, just taken by
the United States. We mean that there is something
very amusing in the spectacle of the most inquisitive and
tenacious people in the world turned loose into a huge,
mysterious, unexplored region. It is something beyond
Denon and his brother savants in Egypt, and is almost
equivalent to a meeting of the British Association in
.Japan, with the free run of the islands. It is certain
that at this moment no human being of Caucasian ex-
traction has any concsption of what may be discoverable
on the ten degrees of the globe's surface between the
Rio del Norte and the North Pacific Ocean, and it is
almost as certain that in two years' time there will be a
railroad right across the province, and boarding-houses
at every station. It is something in these dull times to
have a real true terra incognita in gore, with Americans
for adventurers. The truth is, that the Colorado beats
the Oxus:hollow, for there was a time when Baetriana
was a civilized and accessible region enough, whereas
there is no certainty that the spot of ground indicated
by lat. 36, long. 112, was ever trodden by any foot but
that of an Indian horse-stealer. We say no certainty,
because there is mystery in the highest degree attached
to this country. A blue book, stamped with all the
authority of a Parliamentary warrant., positively states
that independent nations, living in large Loans, and
known only by report," are presumed to exist within the
old domains of Mexico, and, as none such turned up the
other day during the forays between Santa FA and Vera
Cruz, we must conclude they lie somewhere hereabouts,
if anywhere. The mystery of the reports is quite charm-
ing. The existence of the cities in question is not exactly
so well ascertained as was that of Paradise by Sir J. Mande-
ville, who, " had not indeed reached the spot, but had
seen the walls thereof ;" it bears rather a stronger ana-
logy to that of El Dorado, of which some Indians told
Raleigh's sailors that they had once seen the reflection
in a lake. Seriously, though, there is actually an enor-
mous indefinite area to bo explored, and fifty thousand
adventurers ready to rout and ransack every corner of
it, like the undertakers at the drawers and cupboards in
Hogarth's picture of the Dead Miser. Perhaps our
readers would like to learn something of the known
state of California, as a point de depart from which to
venture into those interesting details e'hich will no doubt
reachlus by every American mail. Under the old Spa-
nish monarchy, Upper, or New California, was one of
three provinces composing the Viceroyalty of New Spain.
Its settlement, however, was limited to the establish-
ment of some 18 or 20 .` missions" along the coast,
which were ;dedicated to the various saints whose titles
still survive between Francisco and Diego, and which
were calculated, with a precision and certainty attain-
able by none but Spaniards, to render the coloniz ition of
the country altogether au impossibility. San Diego,
the southernmost of these, and the point where the new
American frontier will debouch upon the Pacific, was
founded in 1769, before which year there was no Euro-
pean settlement upon the coast. Between this period
and 1800 were founded the others, all on the same
model, and all running the same course. The aspect of
these presidios was not materially varied under the rule
of the emancipated Republic. When Captain Wilkes
landed at San Francisco. he found, at the chief ancho-
rage of this noble port, a " town," of which the consti-
tuent elements are thus enumerated :—" A large frame
house occupied by an agent of the Hudson's Bay
Company ; a store kept by an American ; a
billiard-room and bar ; a poop-cabin of a ship,
occupied as a dwelling by an Anglo-American captain;
a blacksmith's shop, and some outbuildings." As
this is decidedly the most famous colony on the coast it
would be rather perverting the proverb to say "Expede
Herculent," but we may probably save ourselves the
trouble of describing San Carlos, or Santa Barbara, or
La Purissima Concepcion. In these delightful settle.
ments resides the present white population of the pro-
; vince, numbering perhaps about 3.000 souls, and some
9,000 or 10,000 Indians, as it is calculated, roam abroad
in the mysterious wilds of the interior. The whites are
true sons of Old Spain, with everything of a Castilian
but his bravery. But for the presence of certain English
and Americans, the Indians would infallibly drive them
into the sea. After calm observation and mature re-
flection, Captain Wilkes is compelled to pronounce that
" they may be termed cruel to their wives, in a greater
degree still to their slaves and cattle, and exceedingly
ignorant of everything but extortion, riding horses, and
catching bullocks." A true Yankee graft upon this
valuable stock must yield a wonderful result, and we
shall not be long before we see it. We described lately
the precautions which have been so promptly taken to
bring the new territory safely under hand, and it ap-
pears that the work of discovery has already commenced.
At present the great attraction seems -rather in the
bowels of the earth than on its surface, and hundreds of
independent citizens are at work with their pickaxes,
like treasure-seekers in the Hartz Mountains. Quick-
silver is the main object of search, and we are told,
in a semi-official and perfectly serious report, of one
mine, about 13 miles from San Francisco, "so rich
that the gentleman who surveyed it under the directions
of the Government was so much affected by salivation,
that his mouth was sore for a period of ten days after
he had concluded the survey." It is anticipated that
quicksilver will thus be an article of as regular exporta-
tion from the western, as breadatuffs from the eastern
coasts of the States; several mining companies are al-
ready established, and California is even now spoken of
by Transatlantic journalists in that phrase which so at-
tracted Mr. Martin Cbuz.ziewit, as "one of the most re-
markable provinces of our country, sir." We should
rather conceive doubts from the configuration of this
part of the continent, whether the mineral wealth so
characteristic of the great spinal plateau of Anahuac did
in reality extend so far beyond its termination as to be
met with in North California.' But, like the young
farmers in the fable, who dug for a treasure and dis-
covered it in the enrichment of their farm, which had
followed upon the labour bestowed, the Americans will
no doubt find their account in the improvement and
civilization of this hitherto unproductive country. With
a territory, at least in places, highly fruitful, a climate
free from the noxiousness of the opposite coast, and a
temperature not otherwise than equable, they can hardly
fail of a return for their labour, and, if they do not dis-
cover any new Peru, or any fresh variety of the human
race, they will at least make a vast tract of the earth's
surface subservient to the increasing wants of man.
CHRONICLE.—The debate on ihe "Right to Work"
pursues its dreary course in the French National As-
sembly—" a social, political, philosophic, metaphysical
question," as M. Thiers justly termed it—" dragging at
each remove a lengthened chain," the fetters of panic
and misery, absence of demand, and indigence of employ-
ment, which, concurrently with this waste of words, are
gnawing at the vitals, and festering in the life-blood of
the people. " The saddest sight under the sun," said
poor Burns, who spoke from experience, " is a man wil-
ling to work, but unable to find work." The problem,
which in its solution shall find the remedy of this, we
believe inevitable, evil in the courses of civilization, is as
old as the world ; and it will scarcely, we fear, be deter-
mined in our time by the different schools of Commu-
nism among our neighbours. " Supposing that we affirm
this right," said M. Duvergier de Hauranne, " and in a
time of crisis one million, or, if you pre-
fer it, five hundred thousand
workmen come
with this article of the constitution in their hands to
exact of you their dues of work and wages, when the
coffers of the State be empty, increased taxes shall bring
no return, and credit shall be dead, what will yots do?"
The answer has not yet been given by the Communists,
nor will it ever be so, because it is impossible. It can,
however, be evaded and ignored, and the Reforms be
very funny in calling M. Duvergier do Hauranne a
" seedy Quaker with a perpetual catarrh." The chief
incidents of the debate, hitherto, have been the failure of
M. Ledru Rollin, and the success of M. Thiers. Triumph
and discomfiture were, however, the conditions of their
relative positions. M. Ledru Rollin Was called upon, in
virtue of his advanced opinions, to propose something,
and he proposed nothing; how should he? M. Thiers
was at liberty to criticise, analyse, expose, dissect, scarify,
mangle the crotchets of his unequal opponents,
and he acquitted himself, to the delight of
spectators unaccustomed to skill so dexterous and
assurance so inveterate. If, however, this is M. Thiers's
speech for the Presidency (he has made many a discours-
Ministre far better), we must confess our disappoint-
pointusent. He said nothing in particulars, which had
not previously been said by MM. do Tocqueville and
Duvergier de Huranno ; and nothing in generals, which
is not ABCto us in England. Nor was he so felicitous
in his hits as usual ; he made no point half so good as
his lieutenant's, M. Duvergier de Hauranne, who, in re-
flection on M. de Lamartine's magnificent flight " that
he adored property," remarked demurely, " that it was
quite possible not to respect where one adored." M.
Thiers's position, that the right to work necessarily in-
volves, and in its development leads to, slavery, is taken
mediately from the Abbe Lammennais, and immedi-
ately from M. de Tocqueville. Itis the plain
teaching of reason. If the State is to take upon
itself the distribution of labour, it becomes at once,
and ipso facto, arbitrary and absolute. It regulates at
will, or at caprice, the fitness, the capacity, the condi-
tion, the fortune, the remuneration of its citizens. The
State is master, and its component parts are slaves; it is
a Mahomet Ali, in a nation offellahs. With what ani-
mation, hope, impulse, incentive, can you expect wets
under such circumstances to work? " Tell a person,"
says M. Thiers finely, " to die for his country, and he
will understand you; but tell him to weave cotton yarn
for his country, or forge iron for his country,
and you will see what he will answer." The merit
of this illustration is its suggestiveness ; it carries
one, by no remote transition, to that objection to
Communism which is instinctive in us all—that it de-
stroys the individuality of man. In his defence of so-
ciety, M. Thiers informs us that it rests upon three
princlples—Propertv, Liberty, and Competition. Any
other triology would have done just as well in opposition
to the " Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality," of the new
sectaries, or the "Faith, Elope,
and Charity," of
older ones, whom M. Thiers hates and
nddespises quite as
much. But the observations which he hangs upon each
text, if trite, are not without their value. In reference
to his first principle of property (on which his new book
is in the press, this speech serving at once as its puff and

preface), he showed that improvemetst is invariably
proportion to the more or lese of respect in which this
institution has been held. Ile cited the East, as a ease
in point, in a remarkable passage:—" You will Ind there
cultivation neglected and abandoned to the care of slaves,
because it is the most exposed to the rapacity of despot,'
ism? You will find trade preferred, because it can the
Most easily hide itself from the inquisition of tyranny;
perional property, gold, jewels, moveables, these things
belong to commerce: you see these valuables in the
hands of a proscribed race, who avenge themselves
do you know how? By usury. On the othei
hand, where property is respected, , and prices
are regulated at their legitimate rate, land recovers
its natural value, no industry is preferred more than au*
other—all are alike practised according to their rumpus'
ranee worth, interest falls, and the proscribed race, re:
instated in its original dignity, becomes on a par +vita
all the others." In his definition of liberty, M. Thief,
is as bold in his zeal for the slaw gas. "By liberty,
he says, " I do not mean political, but social liberty ;
that of disposing one's faculties as one likes, of devoting
one's energies to agriculture, manufacture, mining, as
it may be; in one word, of choosing one's prolessionr
Society says to a man, ' You are free, work ; work at
your awn risk and peril ; it depends on yourself, if you
work with application and ability, whether you shall, be
rich or otherwise,'" We remember the Duke of %%el-
lington, in the liouselof Lords, saying much the same
thing a few years ago, and being greatly
abused in; the
facile cant of phrase-ridden Liberals. It requires such
scenes as France has traversed to educe truths, and to feel
their value. Tee third proposition of M. Thiers, that‘one
of the safeguards of modern society is competition, i! fa'
miller to us in this country. The industrial facts, toes
(which he arrays against that sentimental pessimism
still in vogue), by which he shows the great and daily
augmenting amelioration in the condition of the moose!,
have been entertained by all thinking politicians 10
England since the days of Arthur Young and Adam
Smith. " A maid of honour," says Sir F. M.
" breakfasted on roast beef, but the ploughman in
those good old times, as they are called, could, I fear,
only banquet on the strength of water gruel." Such is
the course and the tenor of M. Thiere's argument is
contrasting the demand and the wages of the
day with those of fifty years ago. Let us, however,
hope, that as Thiers has at last become sensible to
the virtues of competition, he intends for the future to,
01
abjure those Protectionist heresies, in vindication of
which he has vied in sophism with Mr. Disraeli, and
am-Lefty with Lord George Bentinck. present
ADVERTISER.—PubIic attention is beginning to be
turned to the approaching State trials in Ireland. Tbei
will be of a much more serious character than the State
trials which took place in Dublin in _1843. When
O'Connell and his seven associates were arraigned at tbe,
instence of Government, the charge Was only one, ot
sedition, and consequently, in the event of convictiet
the punishment could not, at the worst, extend beyond
a temporary imprisonment and a fine. The parties arc'
cased were not only safe, so far as their necks were val,
cerned, but they had not even to fear a seven years
transportation. It is otherwise with the unfortunate
men who are now about to be put on their trial. The/
are to be arraigned on the charge of high treason. 11
convicted they will be. amenable to the extreme penalty
and,.in any case, cannot receive a less severe p11.01e%.
ment than transportation for life. It might be suppose
that, under circumstances of so grave a nature, the
pri-
soners, their agents and their friends, would all look for'
ward to the proceedings at the trial with that seriousness
of mind and manner which becomes the solemn occasion'
It would seem, however, that this is not the case, .0°
far as some of the parties are concerned. It appears
that the agents of Mr. Smith O'Brien have actually situ;
pcenaed Lord John Russell to give evidence on that
gentleman's trial. This must have been done by way °f
joke, for every one knows that the Prime Minister Ile;:
no evidence to give in connexion with the crimes wit.,
which Mr. Smith O'Brien is charged. All we can seJ
is, that it is a wretched joke. It would be impossible tt;
imagine anything in worse taste. Whether or not
has directly emanated from Mr. Smith O'Brien, .
have no means of knowing; but it must at all events,
have received his sanction. The circumstance will
be lost on the public mind. It will greatly diminiskb'e.
not entirely extinguish, whatever sympathy
may "av;cl
been felt for that gentleman. If he is just now diepos
to regard the position in which he is placed as a legitireg°
one for jocularity, he will change his mind before Want
weeks have elapsed. This indecent levity is not confine...l
to Mr. Smith O'Brien, though it has not, in the woe:,
any of the other prisoners, manifested itself in the same
way. Mr. Duffy is described as taking a special des
light light in playing at ball in prison, whenever any °n
is present, and affecting to be as light-hearted es,

spirits, and having no idea beyond that of how he DI

of
It has its origin in the same idea which leads a convict
at the bar of the Old Bailey, when sentence of transpor-
tation has been passed upon him, to express a hope that
the judge may remain in his seat until he returns to
England, atter his " term" has expired. Real fortitude
is dignified in its demeanour. It comports itself with
calmness, and challenges admiration for its unobtru-
siveness. So far from there being real courage in the
conduct of the three prisoners whose names we have
mentioned, their demeanour indicates the existence and
operation of the opposite feeling. They remind us of
the schoolboy of Dr. Blair, who is described as " whist-
ling to keep his courage up" when passing through the
churchyard on his way home on a dark night. With
regard to the subpoenaing of Lord John Russell, not
only is the thing calculated to deprive Mr. Smith
O'Brien of that measure of sympathy which, with all hie
follies and crimes, many persons would still have felt
disposed to accord to him, but it throws an air of dig'
respect around the judicial bench which every one must
witness with regret. It will not only prove an infinite
annoyance to the Prime Minister, but a grave truing
with the seer( dness of justice. And yet, so far as we
know, there is no way of preventing Mr. Smith O'Brien,
or whatever other party the idea originated with, from
gratifying his miserable taste. Lord John must obey the
aummons, just [teeny other person. Though it is well known
to all parties connected with the judicial proceedings, that
the Noble Lord has no evidence to give vvbich can affect the
result of the trial one way or other, no one has the power
to release him from the obligations which the law im-
poses upon him to be present. It would be impossible
to conceive a greater abuse of the right to call whatever
witnesses an accused party pleases than is furnished, ill
this case. The subject is one which may, possibly, 'de;
mend the attention of the Legislature before the close
of the coming session. If so, it is to be hoped that
Parliament will not run to the other extreme. There l 5
a danger of this. Nothing is more common than to see.
