MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Loudon 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 and Thursday from refiners and grocers,
there was also an advance in prices of Gd per cwt. Brown
realised 34s to 35s 6d, yellow 3Gs to 445, and grey 35s
to 395. The market has been closed since Thursday,
but business will be resumed to-morrow. Of Barbadoes
of the new crop 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
rates—Standard Lumps 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 been disposed of. Of Dutch Crushed a
cargo of 250 tons has been sold, but the price is not
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 39s 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
holders of all descriptions of Bengal Sugar, and the
market has been sparingly supplied with all sorts since
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
realises stiffer rates; there is also a further decrease 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.
FORENIN.—To-day 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.
MOLASSES.—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.—Today the purchases made by private
treaty, in all sorts of Coffee, were upon a small scale
only.
COCOA.—For West India prices are not higher, but
the demand is more active—Trinidad selling at 43s to
455, red 45s to 48s per cwt. The stock is still on the
decrease. 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 we:
not to be obtained. For other sorts of Tea the market
is yet in a very dull state.
IZWE.—To-day a fair demand was experienced for
East India Rice, and rather higher rates were obtained
—middling white Bengal realised 10s, 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 proof at is 7d
to is lid, and Leeward Island is 9d to ls 9id per gallon.
SPICES.—For Pimento the decline amounts to id to 4d.
Of 408 bags offered at public sale, a small part only sold.
Holders of Black Pepper are not disposed to accept lower
rates, and have refrained from offering any at
public sale ; the purchases made privately have
been limited in all sorts both for home use or export.
White is little wanted, and low to fine 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.
FRUIT.—The market for Currants has a more active
appearance, and there is less willingness on the part of
holders to sell. A good demand has been exhibited at
39s to 4ls for new, and at 34s to 35s for old. Raisins
are in better request, Valencia at 38s to 42s for old.
TaeLow.—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 505 3d per cwt are the rates ac-
cepted for tine 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 be 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 SW. nett cash. The consumption is also not so satis •
factory as of late. Other descriptions of Tallow are not
much required, and we have to announce that a further
decline in the value is apparent, as there is a plentiful
supply.
Otes.—There are sellers of Linseed Oil upon previous
reduced terms, although there is only a moderate supply,
and the consumption is still satisfactory. The pur-
chases made have been limited by the home trade,
and the export demand has nearly ceased. There
are sellers on the spot at 22s 3d to 22s 6d—prices,
however, are not expected to be much lower. For for-
ward delivery there are sellers at 23s to 23s 3d, but
the purchases made have been limited. Rapeseed Oil
has not improved in value, but a larger amount of
business has been concluded; pale at 34s to 34s 6d, and
brown :33s to 33s 6d. The supply is not so plentiful,
whereas there is a larger consumptioe. The market for
Olive has a quiet appearance, still prices remain much.
the same as those previously current, as the Supply r
moderate, and the consumption better than of late.
Palm met with more attention, and the stock continues
on the decrease. Cocoa Nut is not much required.
Prices remain much the same as those previously current
for Fish Oils,and the market has been less freely supplied
with all sorts. The imports have been of little im-
portance sinco this day week, but the deliveries
are progressing under favourable auspices. Holders
of Cod are asking 251 to 251 55., but the pur-
chases made have been limited ; indeed there are sellers
for arrival rather under these rates. The purchases
made in all sorts of Seal has been of little consequence.
The amount of business done in Sperm has been limited,
whilst the tendency of prices is to decline.
SALTPETRE.—To-day the market for rough was in a
dull state, and lower rates were accepted. 13ritish Re-
fined is cheaper, and 37s Gd to 38s is the value. For
Nitrate of Soda there are few buyers, and 14s to 14s 3d
per cwt is the value.

INCENDIARY FIRE AT TORPOINT. DEYONPORT,
APRIL 24.—Last night, shortly before ten o'clock, a
wheatstack, the property of Mr. Jeffery, at Borough,
near Torpoint, was discovered to be on fire. Alarm was
given, and engines were sent from the ordinary at Do-
vonport and the town. The country people and those
from Torpoint rendered all possible assistance, but the
wheatstack and also a stack of reed were destroyed. A
man had been seen lurking about the premises on whom
suspicion fell, and he was taken into custody in a field
near the fire, last night, and on neing charged did not
deny the act. He was taken before Mr. Roberts, this
day, at the union workhouse, Torpoint. After a long
examination he was committed to Bodmin on the charge;
he had little to say ; he gave his name Matthew
Vivian, and stated that he had been a soldier, but by
some means he had lost his pension. It appears very
little can be got from him ; he is decently dressed, and
is stated to be an Irishman.

MONEY- MARKET.—The last quotation from Paris
gives the premium on gold at about 40 per mille, which
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 26.16; and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.65, it follows
that gold is 1.99 percent. dearer in Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London
is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng-
land and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 0.08 per cent. against Eng-
land; but the quoted exchange at New York being for
bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference,

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

Dinner at Six o'clock punctually.
The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolenee
under circumstances of more than usual urgency.
It is now two years since the last festival.
During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and
general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and
the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by
high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans
for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the
building. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large
amount.
A reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a
debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been
dependent for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer.

This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the
Dopuions and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open
as a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur-
pose of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen
and ministers officiatlng in the surrounding parishes are invited to
lead patients.
Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing
Moiety is contributed by the Medical School of University College,
about 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital
Contraittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction.
The disbursements amount to 5,0301. ; a deficiency of 1,900/. has to
be provided for every year.
Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
nual expense of supporting the occupan's of 50 additional beds is es-
timated at 1,500!. The Bomber of beds which the Hospital is now
Capable of containin4 is 200.
The number of patients was last year 19,794, of whom 1,403 were
in-patients, and hOls women in childbirth, attended at their own ha-
bitations ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as
casual applicants.
A clergyman of the Church of England officiates as chaplain, but
every patient is allowed to have the advice of a minister of that form
of religion which he himself professes.
The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro-
moted, and much consequent benefit conferred on the public of all
classes by the existence of the School of Medicine, of which this Hos-
pital forms so important a branch.
Tickets, One Guinea each, may be had of the Stewards, of the
Treasurer, at the Tavern, at the Hospital, and at the Office of the
University College, London.
Donations and Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer and
the following Bankers :—Coutts and Co., 59, Strand—London and
Westminster Bank, Bloomsbury Branch—Scott and Co., 1, Caven-
dish-square—Smith, Payne, and Smith, 1, Lombard-street. At the
Hospital the Apothecary, the Matron, and Clerk to the Committee
have printed receipts, signed by the Treasurer, ready for delivery to
Benefactors.
Benefactors and Subscribers who do not make their payments tot
the Bankers are requested to take printed receipts signed by the
Treasurer.
