MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 4.)
SUGAR.--Business in the raw Sugar market was re-
sumed to-day. There was firmness on the part of West
India merchants, and the home trade were desirous to
operate. For both grocery and refining descriptions a
brisk demand was experienced, whilst the rates
obtained were fully equal to those current prior
to the holidays, but no advance was obtained.
The quantity sold amounted to 860 hhds, &c.,
including 123 hhds of Barbadoes at public sale
which went off with fair spirit, and at full rates—
very fine yellow fetched 465, fine 42s 6d to 43s 6d, good
middling and good 32s 6d to 41s 6d, middling 38s to 395,
low 38s 6d per cwt. The market for all kinds of raw
Sugar has a firm appearance. For public sale this week
300 cases brown Bahia, 600 baskets of Java, 256 boxes
yellow Havannab, 258 baskets 50 cases Penang, and 400
bags of Mauritius are declared.
REFINED.—To-day all kinds of Refined goods were
much sought after by the home trade, and stiffer rates
were offered; the supply was scanty—brown grocery
lumps fetched 52s 6d to 53s 6d, standard lumps 54s to
54s 6d ; Tittlers 54s to 60s; Hamburgh Loaves 55s to
645, and Wet Lumps 51s to 535. For Bastards
the demand is more active at 27s to 345, and
Pieces are in good demand at 35s to 475. In the Treacle
market there is yet little passing, and a desire is shown
to sell at 17s to 23e. Bonded crushed Sugar is wanted,
and as the supply is small prices are firm, and rule at
30s to 31s for first, and at 29s Gd for second sort. For
Loaves matle here under bond the export demand is
active, and pritses are on the tidvartee.

numerous constituents in the borough of Lambeth, seek-
ing by this humble tribute to record their acknowledg-
ment of his labours whilst the guardian of their new •
born electoral rights, and the champion of their free
choice in maintaining those liberal principles which be-
stowed on them enfranchisement; their sense of his
public service as their tried and faithful representative
during four successive Parliaments: his zeal and in-
tegrity—his energy and ability, which had rendered him
so tar conspicuous among many contemporaries as to give
impormnce to the constituency he served, and to obtain
for him an office or participation in the snore compre-
hensir duties affucting the welfare of the State at large;
and as a testimonial further to record, that the fund sub-
scribed after his defeat at the election in August, 1847,
Was appropriated in aid of his return to the Commons

'ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

Yk, Dec. 15.
CROWN COURT.or (Bs
ore Mr. Justice ble.ta.E.)
Richard Balderson, in the dress of a labourer, was in-
dicted for having on the 28th day of July last, at Eccles-
field, sear Sheffield, feloniously stolen a horse, the pro-
perty of a gentleman named Smith.
Mr. Overend and Mr. Smith appeared on the part of
thd prosecution; the prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. W. Smith, is a
gentleman residing near Sheffield, who kept for his
family a small dun pony. On the 27th of July his pony
was safe in his paddock, bat the day after he missed it.
In consequence of there being a fair at Alfreton in Der-
byshire soon after, a groom, who knew the pony, and
had clipped it, was sent over there, and on going round
in search of the pony found it put up at the Three
Horse-shoes public-house. lie, accordingly, waited there
some time, until some one went to claim it. At length,
two horse dealers named Abbot went there, and offered
to sell the pony to him for 71. 103., and he told them to
turn it round to show it," which they accordingly did,
and he then gave them into the custody of a police-
man. Aa he was coming along with them on the
road towards Sheffield, they told him they had
bolight it of a man for 5/., and soon after the
prisoner drove past in a gig, and they bath cried out
that that was the man of whom they had bought it. The
prisoner was then apprehended, and they were all taken
to Sheffield; and on inquiries being made, the two 4b-

oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
xposure.

Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of
FOUR NEWSPAPERS,

and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The columns of the DISPATC II will still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of

"-PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSOMUS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice, It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH
ill next year be printed.

Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be

FRAN CE.

The Moniteur publishes the following letters which
have passed between General Cavaignac and the
Pope : _ _

FROM GENERAL CAVAIGNAC TO HIS HOLINESS.
" Paris, Dec. 3.

" Very Holy Father,—l address this dispatch and
another from the Archbishop of Nicea, your Nuncio to
the Government of the Republic, to your Holiness, by
one of my aides-de-camp.
" The French nation deeply afflicted at the troubles
with which your Holiness has been assailed within a
short period has been moreover profoundly affected at
the sentiment of paternal confidence which induc,d
your Holiness to demand, temporarily, hospitality in
France, which it will be happy and proud to secure
to you, and which it will render worthy of
itself and of your Holiness. I write to you therefore in
order that no feeling of uneasiness or unfounded appre-
hension may divert your Holiness from your first reso-
lution. The Republic, the existence of which is already
consecrated by the mature, persevering, and sovereign
will of the French nation, will see with pride your Holi-
ness give to the world the spectacle of that exclusively
religious consecration which your presence in the midst
of it announces, and it will receive you with the dignity
and the religious respect which becomes this great and
generous nation. I have felt the necessity of giving
your Holiness this assurance, and I heartily desire that
your arrival may take place without much delay.
" It is with those sentiments, Very Holy Father, that
I am your respectful son,

" General CAVAIGNAC."
The following is the reply of his Holiness:—
" Monsieur le Goli3ral,—l addressed you a letter
through the medium of M. de Corcelles to express my,
feelings and my extreme gratitude to France. That gra-
titude increases more and more in seeing the new steps
you are taking towards me in your own name and in that
of France by sending me one of your aides de-camp with
a letter, offering me hospitality in a land which has
been, and ever will be, fertile in characters emi•
ninently Catholic and devoted to the Holy See. And
here my heart feels the necessity of again assuring you
that a favourable opportunity will not fail to present
itself when I may extend with my own hand my apos-
tolic benediction over the great and generous French

family.
" Although Providence has conducted me by surpris-
ing roads to the place in which I am at present, without
the least premeditation or the least concert on my part,
that does not prevent me, even here, from prostrating
myself before God, whose Vicar, though unworthy, I
am. supplicating Him to shed His grace and his bene-
dictions on you and on all France.

lURRICANE ON FRIDAY NIGHT

AT ABERDEEN.
(From the Aberdeen Herald of Saturday.)
During the past week the weather was mild and set-
tled, but yesterday afternoon it suddenly changed for
the worse. A southerly breeze, which has prevailed
throughout the week, increased to a hurricane, andja con-
siderable quantity of rain fell. Towards evening the
gale increased in violence, carrying off a great num!rer
of chimney-pots, projecting signs, and gentlemen's hats.
Towards ten o'clock, the hurricane to which we have
referred above, became particularly violent, and we are
sorry to state that loss of life, and considerable damage
to property, has been the result. A deplorable accident
happened at the New Gas Work, shortly after ten
o'clock. The roof of the retort house, which was
constructed with an iron frame, and covered with slates,
was suddenly jerked up at the south side, fell with a
crash, and smashed into fragments. There were eight
men in the retort house at the time, all stokers, and en-
gaged in charging the retort furnaces. One of the roof
beams and a quantity of the roofing fell upon a poor old
man named George Murray, who was at the moment
hurling a barrow, and killed him on the spot. Ano-
ther poor fellow, Charles Clark, had his leg broken; and
a third, Alexander Low, had his arm dislocated and his
head cut. The other five men miraculously escaped
uninjured. The cause of their escape was, that a por-
tion of the broken roof remained leaning against the
south wall, near to which the five were standing.
In less than fifteen minutes, Clark and Low, and
the dead body of Murray, were extricated from the
ruins. This was a work of extreme difficulty, as
the wreck of the roof continued to be driven
about by the wind with such violence. Dr.
Will was sent for, and arrived at the works
within about twenty minutes after the accident
occurred. We are happy to be able to state,that he pro-
nounced the injuries of Clark and Low to be of a com-
paratively simple character, and that no serious result
was to be anticipated. Grant was by his orders, taken to
the Royal Infirmary shortly after twelve o'clock, and the
body of the deceased George Murray was carried to his
own house, at Sim's-square. Murray was about fifty or
sixty years of age, and leaves a wife and family of six
or eight children, most of whom, however, are grown up.
A large quantity of strong new paling lately erected
at the Chemistry Works, Links, has been torn down,
and carried away a distance of 20 or 30 yards into a
field, by the force of the wind.—A currier's shop in
Loch-street, belonging to Mr. John Watt, leatherA
merchant and currier, has been blown down.—An
enclosure in West North-street, for building
-
purposes, has bran blown to
Wood-
yard, at Poynernook, has been blown down and
seriously damaged.—Two wood yards, in Frederick-
street, have been blown open,—One of the windows

PRUSSIA.

__—
Prince CHARLES of Prusia has been dispatched to
011miitz to congratulate the new Emperor of AUSTRIA
on his accession to the throne.

The Prussian Staate Anzeiger of the 15th con-
tains a proclamation of the chief president of the
province of Silesia, dated Breslau, Dec. 11, whereby,
in consequence of the lamentable excesses which have
taken place in the villages of Upper and Lower Rosen,
in which a great deal of property was destroyed, and
M. vox GLADIS, a gentleman who was highly re-
spected, was cruelly murdered, which compelled the
authorities to have recourse to arms three times, the
circle of Kranzburg, the Government circle of Op-
peln, and the surrounding districts, are declared in a
state of siege.

The Berlin Nachrichten again brings forward the
subject of the report which obtains general credit, that
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh intends to make an
exchange of that portion of the Grand Duchy of
Posen (the Duchy of Gnesen), which is now subject
to re-organization for the Duchies of Courland and
Seingalled. This proposal is not at all disliked at
Potsdam ; but Prussia desires to secure certain poli-
tical rights for the Duchy of Gnesen previous to
ceding it, viz., those rights which have been abrogated
in Russian Poland since 1831. The acquisition of
the rich coast-land of Courland, which has affinity
with Prussia both in language and manners, would be
very advantageous ; but if this projected exchange be
really entertained by the two Cabinets, it must, in the
first instance, in constitutional Prussia, be submitted
to the National Assembly, and this cannot possibly be
done till the close of February next. •

SOUTH GERMANY.
The Frankfort Zeitung of the 14th contains the
following under the head Munich, Dec. 10:
"The increasing probability that the King of Prussia
will receive the Crown of Germany has here awakened
reminiscences of the glorious epoch of the Confederation
of the Rhine. The foundatio❑ of the kingdom of Bavaria
and these reminiscences have, in their turn, recalled
others to the minds of men. The report which has pre
valled here for the last fortnight gains ground, that the
frequent and long conferences of our King with the
French Envoy are paving the way to an alliance
of the southern states of Germany with France
against the northern states of Germany, and especially
Prussia."

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, DEC. 16.—At the commencement of Mr.
Duffy's trial, lesterday, the Clerk of the Crown, ad-
dressing the reporters, said, " Gentleman, take notice
that none of the proceedings connected with this trial
are to be reported."

- -
Baron RiCrtAnDS—"Publi shed."
Clerk of the Crown—" That none of the proceedings
are to be published, or any comments thereon until the
final close of the trial." ,

This order has created great surprise and dissatisfac-
tion in Dublin. An instruction to refrain from com-
menting no one would object to, because comments
might influence or intimidate the jury, hut an utter pro-
hibition of publishing mere proceedings of a public
court is unaccountable. The effect will be, if the Court
be obeyed, that the proceedings will not be reported at
all, for their interest will cease when the verdict and
judgment become known.

THE QUEEN V. C. G. DUFFY.
SATURDAY, DEC. 16.—The whole of the proceedings
in this case, this day, consisted of an argument, entirely
of a technical character, as to whether the indictment in
the city ought not to be quashed; Mr. Butt, Mr. Napier,
the Attorney-General, and the Solicitor• General, were
heard upon this point, which turned on the construction
of 6 Geo. IV., c. 51.
The COURT took time to consider.
Inquiries have taken place in consequence of the re-
cent complaints so loudly made, charging the arrange-
ment of the challenges in the recent trials by the Crown
as guided by motives of religious antipathy. The whole
number of Roman Catholics directed to " stand by" by
the Crown was 37; the number of Protestants set aside
was 71. These figures certainly do not sustain the
charge on which the recent memorial was grounded, and
they do sustain the statement in the conclusion of his
Excellency's answer.

A warrant has been received from the Treasury, by
the Board of Works, directing that instead of repayments
into the Exchequer the instalments of the famine loan
now in the hands of the board, and which exceed the
sum of 360,0002, this money may be re-issued, upon
proper security, to the landowners of the several coun-
ties which have paid it, for the purpose of drainage and
other means of improving the land. No applications
from persons resident in counties in arrear to be com-
plied with.

A SMALL RETURN.—The High-Sheriff of the Queen's
County, who had a writ to extcute for 83,0001. against
the property of the Duke of,Buckingham in that county,
has made a return of 41., the property having been pre-
viously conveyed away to trustees.

THE BOURSE.—There was a slightly favourable
tendency for the national funds, and some business
was done in Integrals. In Russian Funds the Five
per Cents. were most offered, while the Four per
Cents. were more in demand. Austrian were in
greater request, and the Belgian Fundy were much in
demand. There was great animation in the two
principal Spanish funds, as well as in the Ardoin
Coupons; the general tendency was favourable.
Mexican and Peruvian funds were slack, in con-
sequence of the realisation of some stock.—Amsterdam

ADULT DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION.--A meet-
ing of the committee of management of this institution
was held on Saturday morning at the Board Room, 26,
Red Lion-square, Bloomsbury. From the sixth annual
report of the proceedings of the charity it appears, " that
there are at present 20 inmates receiving instruction,
and learning the trades carried on is the several depart-
ments of the institution; and during the year 1847-8
temporary relief in clothes, cash, &c., has been granted
to about 200 applicants. There are at present six female
inmates; several have left during the past year, imbued
with moral and religious principles, and other knowledge
of an industrial nature, to enable them to contribute to-
wards their future maintenance. In one instance a young
woman, who entered the institution in 1846 totally un-
educated, and without the knowledge of a trade, was
able in sixteen months, in a considerable measure, to
convey her ideas by writing and in the deaf and dumb
language; she also learned to sew and knit, but her chief
delight consisted in reading the Bible, and attending the
services in the chapel of the institution. Two of the
girls now in the institution having expressed a desire to
be confirmed, the Rev. W. Short. rector of the parish,
kindly took much pains in examining them, and being
fully satisfied with their knowledge, presented them to
the Lord Bishop of London, by whom they were con-
firmed. The committee have much pleasure in stating i
that the number of deaf and dumb children under n-
structi,a) thi oughou- England ru-e en the increase, con-
sequently, a greater number are prepared to take advan-
tage of the benefits of this institution; for however ne-
cessary and important the asylum and schools for deaf
and dumb children may be, yet they form but part
.of a
system of which the institution proves the completion:
the former educating the pupils, and the latter .
taiuing the general instruction, and, at the same time,
teaching such 'rad( s to the deaf and dumb as will
prevent them .11,ra r.:;apsir.;,; into ignorance and vice."
