MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of April 25.)
SUGAR.—There has been a further increase in the ,
home demand for all descriptions, and export orders
arriving more freely. On the part of holders there
is firmness, and they have sparingly supplied the
market, an advance in the value is apparent for
both free and slave labour. For West India Mus-
covado of all kinds a good demand was experienced
on Wednesday ann Thursday from refiners and grocers,
there was also an advance in prices of 6d per cwt. brown
realized 34s to 355 6d, yellow 363 to 441, and grey 351
to 395. The market has been closed since Thursday.
hut business will be raeumed to-morrow. Of Barbadoes
of the new crops arrivals may be looked for quickly.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were much in de-
mand for home consumption, and in consequence of the
diminished supply, buyers were compelled to pay stiffer
sates—Standard Lu:nps selling at 545, and brown gro-
cery 53s to 53s 6d per cwt. There is more activity in
the market for Bonded Crushed, and 25s 6d to 26s 6d is
the value, according to quality; upon which terms seve-
ral parcels have disposed of'. Of Dutch Crushed a cargo
of 250 tons has been sold, but the price is nut allowed to
transpire.
MAURITIUS.—The stock is less than at this time in the
past year, the deliveries are proceeding largely, and
exports from the Mauritius are likewise much less than
in the former year. Holders here have confidence, and
less freely supplied the market; the demand privately
has been good, and a rise in prices of 6d per cwt is
apparent. We quote low to fine brown at 30s to 34s 6d,
yellow 35s to 425, and grey 34s to 395 per cwt. The
chief part of the stock is in the hands of one firm.
Mauritius is yet cheaper than any other sort of raw
Sugar.
.EAST INDlA.—There is firmness on the part of
holdors of all descriptions of Bengal Sugar, and the
market has been sparingly supplied with all sorts sii ce
our last report. Buyers have manifested an inclination
to do business upon a more extended scale, and large
parcels have been sold. Madras is in good request, and
realizes stiffer rates, there is also a further decrase in the
supply. In Penang the operations are upon a more ex-
tended scale, and enhanced rates are obtained, whilst a
less quantity is on offer of all sorts. For East India
Sugar prices are nearly one half less that at this time
in 1847.
FOREIGN.—Today there was much inquiry after all
kinds of Foreign Sugar, but holders asking rather higher
rates, caused the purchases to be limited for both home
use and export.
MonassEs.—There is no improvement in the demand
this week, and sellers are willing to accept low rates.
Only small parcels have been sold at 14s to 18s for low
to fine. The market for Bengal Treacle has a dull ap-
pearance, and prices are on the decline, whilst the stock
is on the increase.
COFFEE.—For West India prices are not higher, but
the demand is more active—Trinidad selling at 43s to
455, red 45s to 4Es per cwt. The stock is still on the
increase. The market for Foreign has a very dull ap-
pearance, and late rates cannot be obtained, although
there is only a limited stock.
TEA.—To-day the purchases made in ordinary Congou
were upon a more extended scale, but better prices were
not to be obtained. For other sorts of Tea the market
is yet in a very dull state.
RICE.—To-day a fair demand was experienced for
East India Rice, and rather higher rates were obtained
—middling white Bengal realised 105, and cargo 7s 6d to
8s per cwt. Some holders will not sell at these rates,
and several parcels have been withdrawn from the market.
SPIRITS.—To-day Rum met with a good demand, and
prices closed with firmness ; East India proofs at Is 7d
to is 74, and Leeward Island is 94 to is 94 per gallon.
SPICES —For Pimento the decline amounts to id to id.
Of 408 bags offered at public sale, a small part only sold.
Holders of Black Pepper are not disposed to accept lower
rates, and having refrained from cffering any at
public sale ; the purchases made yrivately hare
been limited in all sorts both for home use and export.
White is little wanted, and low to tine can be obtained
at 3id to 6d, but the supply is not so plentiful. Ginger
cannot be called cheaper, but there has been little
passing in home trade or export sort ; former
rates are, however, supported, as the supply is small
The market for Cinnamon is in a very dull state, and
prices are on the decline. Cloves met with little atten-
tion, and there is a desire to sell. Cassia Lignea is
not cheaper, as the supply is light, but the sales
made have been limited. There has been but little
desire evinced to purchase Nutmegs for home use or
exportation.
TALLOW.—Prices have suffered a further depression
for Russian on the spot, and there has likewise been
little desire evinced on the part of the home trade to
operate. Only a limited amount of business has been
concluded, and 50s to 50s 3d per cwt are the rates ac-
cepted for fine P. Y. Candle. For delivery in the last three
months of the year there are sellers at 46s to 46s 3d, but few
buyers to met with.. Home made is not much required,
and can be obtained at a further reduction, as the supply
is on the increase; whilst the demand is limited at 49s
to 50s. nett. cash. The consumption is also not so satis-
factory as of late. Other descritions of Tallow are not
much required, and we hae to announce that a further
decline in the value is apparent, as there is a plentiful
supply.

CLERICAL DELINQUENCY.
The parish of Rawmarsh, near Sheffield, has lately
been the scene of very remarkable doings on the part
of the officiating clergy man. In November last the
rector of Rawmarsh, the Rev. W. R. Mahon, having
resolved upon spending the winter months in Ireland,
took steps for procuring a gentleman to assume his
pastoral duties in his absence, and through the medium
an advertisement in the cclesiastical Gazette was
brought into communication with an individual who
represented himself as the Hon. and Rev. B. C. D.
F. Fairfax. Aarangements were speedily completed,
and Mr. Mahon departed for Ireland early in Novem-
ber, not having had an interview with Mr. Fairfax,
but the latter gentleman having undertaken to appear
in the pulpit on the ensuing Sabbath.
True to the e-rop v.t, Mr. Fairfax : ir,l at Raw-
marsh rectory—his future home—on the Saturday
evening, preparatory to the assumption of those im-
portant duties that had been delegated to him. He
