MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

lFroin the London New Price Current of March 14.)
Sumia.—To-day prices were further depressed for
both free and slave-labour Sugar, as there was a turther
diminution in the home demand, and shipping orders
concluded were trivial. The supply continues to be
good, especially of East India and Mauritius. Although
the rtttcs'accepted for. West India Muscovado exhibit a
reduction of 6d per cwt; still the home trade operated
with reluctance in all sorts. The private purchases did
not exceed 30d hhds and trca. The l üblic sales to-day
consisted of Bengal.
REFINED.—'['u-day the home trade were induced to
operate more freely in refined goods, in consequence of
easier rates being accepted. We quote brown grocery
lumps at 525 to 525 tid, :and standard lumps at 53s to
53s 6d per cwt., at which many parcels were sold; mit
there is a larger quantity on offer, especially of low and
middling sorts. The market tor bonded cruAted Sugar

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius Sugar, and privateiy all sorts were dealt in
with caution. althou:h b•'lders were sellers at prices
rather under thosoof Friday. There are several parcels
on offer, especially- of the better sorts.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of any
kind of Foreign, and the amount of business done pre

of prices is yet downwards.
Coffee is small. None has been offered at pubic sale
since this day week, and the stock is yet on the decrease.
This afternoon native Ceylon was dealt in %%it'll cArtion
in the private market, and the rates taken were 325. to

cheaper. Of E,rcign none was offered at public sale,
and the purchases made were trifling.

advertised for auction is large, reaching to 35,000 pkgs
The market has become more inactive fur Cungou of

SECRET MALADIES.
Treatment of CH. ALBERT, M.D., a Member of the Univer-
sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of
Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and
national rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgenil, Paris.
Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been
considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which In a short time
have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
its superiority over every other means as yet employed. t was for
a ',rig period et time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
adapted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
ful effects of mercury. We are now arrived s: the solution of this
proplalera by the discovery of a node of treatment at once simple and
easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm
to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
or of long standing. The method of sure, according to Dr. Albert, is
economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe hi all seasons
and in all climates.

TUB LATE MURDERER SALE.

Alderman WILSON wished to be informed by the
Sheriffs why a custom which had been observed for
some years in the gaol of Newgate had been departed
from in the case of Sale and M'Coy. It appeared
that the former had endeavoured, in the prison, to
murder M'Coy and one of the gaolers, and if the cus-
tom to which he alluded, of appointing two men to
watch each person convicted of murder night and day,
had been adhered to in that instance, no such despe-
rate attempt could have been made.
Mr. Sheriff HILL satisfactorily answered the ques-
tion. The object of placing two men to watch a
person convicted of murder was not to protect others
from the prisoner's violence, but to prevent him from
laying violent hands upon himself. It was not sup-
posed for a moment by any of the experienced officers
about the prison that anything of the kind was con-
templated by Sale or M'Coy, and the means of pre-
vention were considered quite unnecessary. It was
the custom, he believed, to place keepers over con-
victs of such crime after the day of execution wa,
fixed, but not until then; and the attack described
had taken place before the appointment of that day.—
(Hear.) The Sheriff exonerated every one of the
officials of the prison from the slightest blame upon
the occasion; and he expressed his wish that the au-
thority of the Sheriffs and the visiting magistrates
were more nicely defined than it appeared to be.
Alderman WILSON said the answer of the Sheriff
was quite satisfactory. He thought that what had
taken place showed how necessary it was to appoint
keepers to watch persons convicted of murder from
the very moment of conviction, and he should move
that an order be made accordingly, that the practice
be adhered to inviolably.—Agreed to.

THE ORDINARY'S REPORT.

The report from the Gaol Committee stated that
the ordinary's report on the state of the gaol of New-
gate had been satisfactory, and was calculated to be
beneficial ; but the committee recommended that the
attention of the ordinary might be drawn to the sta-
tistical condition of the prisoners, with a view to
classification.—The report was agreed to.

THE CITY ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.

AldermannlllUSGsovE had given notice of the fol-
lowing motion :—" For leave to bring in the Bill to
extend the elective franchise for Aldermen and Corn-
m'on Councilmen of the City to every person being a
freeman of London, renting and occupying, for a
period of twelve months, a dwelling-house, warehouse,
counting-house, office, chambers, or other premises
within the ward, as a yearly tenant, at the annual
rent of 101 and upwards." He had, he said, since he
had given that notice, lent the subject the closest
attention ; but after having searched the records and
consulted the law officers, he had not. received the
greatest encouragement to proceed in the course
he had intended. A committee of the Corporation
had, it would be recollected, some time ago ad-
vised that the elective franchise should be ex .
tended to all persons rated to the ward-rates, and
rented at 101. a year and upwards ; and the object was,
to have a Bill to that effect originated in the Court of
Aldermen. It appeared, however, upon reference to
the 11th of George 1., that there were objections to
the project not to be overcome in the opinion of the
law authorities, and it necessarily fell to the ground.
The Alderman then alluded to the number of persons
in his ward (Broad-street Ward), of high respecta-
bility, and possessing large property, paying from
1001. to 2001. a year each, and yet denied the privilege
of voting at corporate elections. lie observed upon the
absurdity of allowing such a system of exclusion
to exist. In the ward of Broad-street there were
upwards of 900 freemen, and yet e had
been elected by 150 constituents. In Bas sishaw and
Cripplegate similar anomalies existed. Under such
circumstances it was incumbent upon the Court to
make some effort for the extension of the franchise.
As he had in the course of his researches been dis-
couraged from pursuing the motion of which he had
given notice, he should move that the subject be re-
ferred to a committee, with instructions to consult the
law officers as to the extent to which it would be
practicable to increase the privilege. If the decision
of that committee were unfavourable to the idea of
the practicability of a change likely to satisfy the
public,he shouldapplicattihoenn

without. hesitation propose an
immediate
con-
vinced that the Legislature would willinglylie
wlaisstentoan application of the kind, and he would rather the
proposition came from the Corporation itself than from
the Administration.—(hear, hear.) He then moved
for the committee.
Alderman FINNIS seconded the motion in a few
words, expressive of his opinion that the extension
of the franchise would greatly add to the respectability
of the Court,
The question was then referred to a committee,

ELECTION PETITION.

The Court having been informed that Mr. Joseph
Arnold had withdrawn his petition against the elec•

Common Councilmen for the ward of Bridge,
Sir C. Mutsu-Am. said it was necessary to provide
some remedy against such trouble and inconvenience
as were produced by such a proceeding, and requested
to know the Recorder's opinion upon the subject.
The RECORDER said, it would have been more
regular and respectful in the petitioner if he had
attended at the bar of the court and asked permission
to withdraw his petition ; as it was, it would be
advisable in the Court to dismiss the petition at once.
Petition dismissed.

ments for the past quarter are about the same as the
preceding one. The new regulations recommended
by the Secretary of State, and ordered to be carried
out in the Debtors' Prison by the Court of Aldermen,
will in time produce much benefit, inasmuch as that
the certainty of fraud being now marked and pu-
nished may have a salutary effect in checking it, and
will show that the law makes a distinction between
the fraudulent debtor and one who from misfortune

The competition was good among all classes of buyers
including the Marwaries, who took more than at any
previous sale this season.
After this sale the price of Patna rose to 925 r., and
continued to range at 915 r. to 925 r., until largo pur-
chases made on the arrival of the Anne, and rumours
that the prices in China had gone up to 700 dolls., set
speculation and excitement on the qui vine. Prices rose
1,100 rs. to 1,140 Co.'s rs., and fluctuated hourly,
until the Rob Roy brought the confirmation of the pre-
vious report. Another upward start took place, until
over 1,200r5. was reached, but subsequently a rather
rapid decline has taken place, and we now quote, as the
last rates on Saturday :

SPAIN.

A letter from Perpignan, dated 19th instant, con-
tains the following :—" An important encounter has
just taken place on the Spanish frontier, near Figue-
;as, between General EUNA, who, being joined by
several columns of troops, was at the head of 2,300
infantry and 500 cavalry, and CABRERA, who had under
his orders 1,500 infantry and 300 cavalry. The action
lasted eighty hours, and the losses were considerable
on both sides. CABRERA was obliged to abandon his
position, some say because he wanted ammunition,
others because he was beaten. Thirty Carlists, cut
off from the main body, sought refuge in France,
where they were disarmed."
The Three per Cents. were done at 19 15-16 for
cash ; the Five per Cents. at 10i for peper ; the
Debt without Interest at 3i; and the Coupons at 6

The .Rivista Indipendente of Florence publishes the
following articles, which, it i 3 said, form the basis of
the negotiations for an Italian league :-1. A National
Diet formed by election will sit at Rome, under the
Presidence of the POPE. 2. All the Governments of
Italy will have their representatives there. 3. The
Diet is the supreme power, which regulates the
general interests of the nation, makes pace and war,
sends representatives to foreign powers, and con-
cludes treaties of commerce. 4. The Customs League
shall immediately be established, and all frontier-
hindrances be removed; an uniform standard cf
weights and measures, and money shall be adopted.
5. The army shall be regulated by a common system.

states that when the French Admiral BAUDIN, who
was at Ischia, received intelligence of the fall of hies •

Messina to demand, in the name of humanity, that
hostilities should be suspended, and proposed the me-
diation of France. The English Admiral, who was
at Naples, adopted a similar course, and the French
