MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London Neu, Price Current of Jan. 30.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was less activity in the West India
Sugar market, which was to be attributed to the public
sales of other home trade kinds; nevertheless, merchants
evinced firmness, and obtained fully former rates for all de-
scriptions.
REFINED.—A much better demand has prevailed for all
descriptions of refined Sugar, for home consumption; since
Tuesday, the refiners have manifested more firmness, and ob-
tained prices rather abuve those previously quoted.
MA (MUTH:S.—This afternoon there were eager purchasers
of Mauritius Sugar, and 9,902 bags 32 casks at auction were
all sold at fully former rates; indeed the kinds at and under
48s. brought 6d. per cwt. advance.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was much better
supplied with Bengal Sugar, four parcels; amounting to 5,785
bags were submitted to public competition; the trade were
inclined to operate, and nearly the whole sold at full rates, in-
deed the better sort of white brought a small advance.
FOREIGN.—Holders of Foreign Sugar have manifested
firmness since our last report, although no change is to be
made in the duties, and they 'refrained from offering any at
auction ; there, has, however, been a falling off in the de-
mand by private contract.
MOLASSES.—To-day West India met with attention; sales
of Antigua were made at 23s 6d, and Demerara at 21s 6d
per cwt, being very full rates.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was better supplied
with Ceylon Coffee. At public sale 1,337 bags Ceylon Plan-
tation were QffeNd ; the trade were more inclined to operate,
and the whole sold at an advance on former rates of is to 2s
per cwt.

Cocoa.--West India has been purchased with caution this
week, and the rates taken were rather under those previously
quoted.
SPICES—There has been little desire shown to purchase
Pimento, and former rates are barely sustained. Black Pep-
per is not offered upon lower terms; although white can be
obtained at the luw rates of 34,c1 to 6d ; still few buyers
are to be met with. Cassia Lignea is little wanted.
Prices have not further given way for Nutmegs, but little
lins*se lies been done. Cloves have been purchased with
cAution, and prices are with difficulty kept up. Mace is dull
of sale. Ginger has been purchased with caution.

MEETING OF PROPRIETORS.—(THIS DAY.)
An adjourned special meeting of the proprietors of
this Company, was held at the Hall of Commerce, Thread-
needle-street, to-day, pursuant to a resolution to that
effect agreed to at the last meeting.
The CHAIRMAN (P. Butler, Esq., M.P.) said, that as
a quorum was present, he, as Chairman, would call on
the Secretary to read the notice convening the meeting,
as well as the original motion, and the resolution read
at the last meeting, to the effect that the meeting having
heard the statement of the Chairman, made at that meet-
ing, with respect to the various plans and extensions, do
approve of the same, and authorise their directors to
take the necessary steps to carry the same into effect in
the ensuing session of Parliament, to abandon any such
scheme in case it should hereafter appear expedient to
do so. It also proposed to empower the directors to
oppose any railway which they might consider would
comdete with, or be in opposition to, their line.
The SECRETARY having read them,
The CHAIRMAN said that the meeting which had
taken place so recently, the discussion which ensued
there, as well as the ternis of the resolution just read,
and which would be submitted to them for their ap-
proval, rendered it unnecessary for him to occupy their
time by any observations. He would merely state in
general terms that all that was asked from the Share-
holders was to authorise them (the Directors) to pro-
ceed with their arrangements with the Carlow and Kil-
k( nny line, on terms which they would submit to
another meeting, convened for the purpose. They also
asked for general powers; and he did think that it was
not presumptuous in him, as the Chairman of the Board,
to say that there was a perfect confidence that they
would exercise their powers beneficially for the interests
of the Company. If they should have to take any steps
against those who were opposed to them, a meeting of
the shareholders would be called for that purpose.—
(Hear, hear.) Nothing remained for him to add, but
that it would be for the interest of the Water-
ford and Kilkenny Company to let the re-
solution pass. He was sorry that the meeting
was not larger, but that seemed to indi-
cate confidence in the Directors. Any question that
should be put would be satisfactorily answered by the
Secretary and other officers of the Company present.
Mr. TITE said it was incumbent on him to take some
part in the discussion there that day, in consequence of
what had fallen from him at their last meeting. Since
then he had made some inquiries in Ireland, and had
obtained information from the worthy Chairman,
but still .the opinion he expressed at the
preceding meeting was unchanged. He had no
doubt that their line was an excellent one, and
all that was required was to secure the means necessary
to carry it out.—(clear.) There was in Ireland, as well
as in England, a spirit of reckless speculatfon, which he
hoped would not operate on their Company. He must
repeat what he had said about the wooden rail, and he
trusted that the directors would consider it in the same
light that he did, and substitute the iron rail. He would
not, however, press the point, and would conclude by
suggesting that in the resolution, instead of the ensuing,
they should say the present, session,
Mr. HULSE proposed the resolution in the amended
form.
