MARKET INTELLIGENCE

SuGAn.—To-day there was not the least improvement
in the home demand for raw Sugar, although holders
were disposed to make a further concession In the value

accurate quotations. For Foreign, in bond, there is
a firm market. West India was dealt in with
caution for all purposes, whilst prices compared
with those of Friday show a decline of 6d. A public
sale of 141 hhds and 92 tierces of Barbadoes went off
flatly at a similar reduction—fine yellow sold at 41s to
425, good 40s to 41s, good middling 39s 6d, middling
3Ss to 39s per cwt. The total quantity sold amounts to
only 360 hhds and tros.

position of the market for Refined Sugar ; there was
also a desire on the part of home-trade refiners to sell.

'1 esterday morning, at an early hour, as police-constable
590 was on duty in Hurst, sf reet, he observed a young
man removing pikes and other weapons from a cellar
beneath a public-house at the coiner of Garden-lane.
They were being removed to the garret of a neighbour-
ing house. The officer obtained assistance, and the arms,
which consisted of three rusty pikes, a gun with some
bayonets, a cutlass, and a sword in its scabbard, were
seized and carried to the police-office. The occupant of
the garret and the young man found removing the wea-
pon.), were both taken into custody, and brought yester-
day before Mr. E. Rushton, the stipendiary magistrate.
The above facts were deposed to, and the prisoners re-
manded.

The Duke of Norfolk and the Earl of
Wiltcr-i had in-
terviews yesterday with Sir George Grey.
