MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London if; Price Current of May 5.)
Sucsii.—To-day West India Muscovado Sugar was sparingly
dealt in for groczry as well as for refining purposes, the private pur-
chases amounting to only 200 hhds and tierces ; the rates taken were
rather under those of Friday, although the supply at market is small.
REFINED.—To-day there was a considerable falling off in the de-
mand for Refined Goods for home consumption, and prices are not
so firm—brown Grocery Lumps selling at 65s 6d, and Standard
Lumps at 665. -Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and offered at
33s per cwt. for first quality.
MAUEITIUS.—ThIs afternoon three parcels of Mauritius Sugar,
amounting to 8,157 bags, were submitted to public competition ; the
trade evinced little desire to operate, and a small part only sold 6d
per cwt under former rates.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bngal Sugar was in limited demand,
and at auction 2,705 bags, 40 chests, went at 6d to is under former
rates, but the whole sold.

- •
FOREIGN.—To-day there was a fair inquiry privately after Foreign
Sugar, but holders not being disposed to sell at former rates, business
of moment was prevented. None was offered at auction.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with attention, and at
auction 2,171 bags were nearly all sold after the sale, at an advance
on former rates of 6d per cwt.
Cocos.—This afternoon there was a brisker demand for West
India; at pudic sale 281 bags of Grenada were sold at rather higher
rates.

TEA.—Holders have manifested increased firmness, and a greater
desire has been shown by the trade to operate in all descriptions.
None has again been offered at auction, and since this day week, duty
was paid on the large quantity of 496,749 lbs.
SPlRlTS.—Jamaica has been in excellent request, and in conse-
quence of the falling off in the supply, buyers have been compelled to
pay further advanced rates. Holders of Leeward Island are unwill-
ing to take lower rates, but there has been little business transacted.
Demerara Is wanted, and prices are again rather higher. Calcutta is
not offered upon lower terms, but the purchases made have been trifling.
For Brandy a reduction on former rates of Id per gallon having
been subntitted to, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom,
and a good business has been transacted. Geneva has declined in
value, and little business has been transacted. British Corn Spirits
are still purchased with caution at lOs 6d per gallon nett cash. The
value of Gin 22 per cent. under proof is 8s 10d, and 17 under proof
9s 4d per gallon.

SALTrzinE.—To-day Rough was in limited demand, and I,oBi
hags of Calcutta at auction were only in part sold at a reduction of
6d per cwt.

INDIGO.—Since the termination of the quarterly sale of East iota
the market has presented a firm appearance, there having been a
good home and, export demand ; 400 chests have been disposed of at
fully former rates.

TALLOW.—No further decline at present has taken place in the
value of Russian on the spot, but the purchases made by chandlers
and soap makers have been extremely limited. The business trans-
acted far delivery has been trilling, but 42s 6d to 42s 9d dufy paid
are the prices still asked for the last three months of the year. New
South Wales has been in good demand on the soot and brought full
rates. In the value of other kinds little cnange nas mum Leu.

deer, her Majesty s .rnncip-vi ibEtielaryot slate-for Foreign
Affairs, has received a dispatch from her Majesty's .24.:.,iqter
at At.arm, dated the 24th of April last, in which he incloses
the copy of a note from the Spanish Minister for Foreign
Affairs, communicating to him an edict, issued by the Cap-
tain-General of Galicia, and approved by the Queen of Spain,
by which the coast of Galicia has been placed in a state of
blockade.

Tl:e tenor of the edict is as follows :
"Don Juan de Villalonga, Captain-General of Galicia,
&c. &c. &c., the district of this Captain-Generalship having
been declared in a state of seige by my Edict of the 4th inst.,
and it being known that the rebels have extended the insur-
rection to the province of Pontevedra, and the port of Vigo,
I have deemed it expedient to determine as follows :
" Article Ist. The whole coast of Galicia, comprehended
between the Rivadeo and that of La Guardia, is
hereby declared in a state of blockade, to the effect that
any vessel which may. appear suspicious, and be found
within the aforesaid limits, carrying provisions, arms, or men,
or doing any other service whatsoever in behalf of the insur-
gents, may be pursued and captured. The vessels captured
under such circumstances shall be comprised in the 3d
article of my aforesaid edict of the 4th instant. Should they
hoist foreign colours, they shall also be detained and searched
according to international law, and their masters and crews
shall be punished, if found guilty.
"Article 2d. The blockade of the coast in general is to be
understood as more strictly circumscribed to the port cif Vigo
and its river, and the entry of any vessel whatsoever into
those places is severely prohibited, as long as the insurrec-
tion has not disappeared therefrom.
" Article 3d. The English steamers shall touch only at
this port of Corrunna, for the object for which they are estab-
lished by their quarantine. The vessels subject to quaran-
tine shall also come to undergo it in this port, for which pur-
poses the Board of Health shall adopt the proper measures,
in conformity with the civil and naval authorities. The
merchant and coasting vessels will be allowed to put into
any other ports of the coast, taking previous information, if
possible, that they are not occupied by insurgents.
" Article 4th. The Commanders of the cruizers, destined
to the service of blockade, are charged with the fulfilment
of the preceding measures, and will be made responsible for
any omission or neglect of so important a duty.
" And, in order that it may be made known to all au-
thorities, corporations, and individuals whom it may con-
cern, for the strict fulfilment of this edict, I command it to
be published as an addition to the aforesaid one of the 4th hut.
