The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, the pro-
duce of the British possessions in America, computed from

[Dividends, &c, in our Next.]

MARKET INTELLIGENCE
(From the London New Price Current of June 19.)
SCGAR.—To-day there was no public sale of 11,1 y description of
raw Sugar, but West India Muscovado of every kind was In excel-
lent request privately, and brought further advanced rates, making
the rise compared with last Friday of Is to is 6d per cwt.
RErin-Fn.—To-clay the home trade were compelled to pay further
advanced rates for Refined goods, owing to the scanty supply.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted, and there are few sellers of first
quality under 33s 6d per cwt.
Mamttrius.—To-day several parcels of all kinds of Matuititts
Sugar were sold privately, and at higher rates, making the rise since
last Friday Is to is 6d per cwt.

EssT INDIA.—To-day Bengal was in good demand by private con-
tract, and the advance in prices for the week has been Is. per cwt.
Rics.—To-day the market was well supplied with Bengal Rice,
three parcels amounting to 6,783 bags were submitted to public com-
petition; the demand was active, and the whole sold at and after the
sales at an advance on former rates of 3d per cwt.
FonMtg.—White Havannah has been purchased with mere free-
dom this week, and rather higher rates have been obtained, although
the market has been more liberally supplied with all descriptions.
For yellow the inquiries have increased and stiffer rates are offered,
but business of moment has been prevented by the unwillingness of
merchants to sell. A considerable increase in the demand has taken
place for white Brazil, and prices have risen 6d to is per cwt :
brown has met with increased attention, and an advance in the value
of 6d per cwt has occurred.
COFFEE.—The arrivals of East India have considerably increased
since our last report, and home trade sorts are yet brought freely to
market, notwithstanding their cheapness ; but export kinds are not
pressed for sale, in consequence of the low prices that exist, still the
demand does not increase, although the stock still exhibits a decrease
in comparison with that of last season. Mocha has been purchased
with increased freedom, and which is not to be wondered at, con-
sidering its cheapness ; the trade are increasing their stocks, and
speculators are operating.
TLL—The dulness in the market has increased this week, and the
business transacted in all descriptions has been extremely limited;
but in the value scarcely any variation has taken place.
Serene.—Prices ruling for Ginger occasions the demand to be good
by private contract for all description.s, and the supply is net so large
as it was. For Black Pepper the demand privately has been limited
for all sorts from exporters and the home trade. White has sustained
the former value, and several parcels have been disposed of privately.
Holders of Pimento show firmness, and refrain from offering any at
auction. The stock is still much less than it was last year, but
prices are higher for all qualities. For Cassia Lignea, quotations
ruling moderate, occasioned several parcels to be disposed of by pri-
vate treaty, as there 19 an impression existing that prices have
arrived at their lowest point. Holders of Nutmegs evince more firm-
ness, and refrain from offering any at auction. Mace is in short
supply, and is wanted. In Cloves few purchases have been made.
Set-ans.—The arrivals of Rum have been on a larger scale since
this day week, but they consist chiefly of West India. Jamaica has
been less in demand, but for the few parcels sold holders have been
enabled to obtain frill rates. Leeward Island is much wanted, and
prices are looking up ; but business has been checked by the small
supply at market. Calcutta has been in fair demand. There has
difficult to quote prices with accuracy ; the stock here being a large
been very little business transacted in Brandy of any kind, and it is
one. In Geneva several small purchases have been made. The
supply being small of British Corn Spirits prices are sustained, but the
demand has been limited.
,_Otts.—Although Linseed Oil can be obtained upon rather lower
still the home demand has bzen limited on the spot, and
Sc4reely any export orders have been executed. For Rape Seed Oil

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT
wEsTxxx Iten.war.—Testerday morning an accident of a most de-
plorable character, which has resulted in the death of an excellent
servant of the company, happened near the terminus of the Great
Western Railway, at Paddington. It appears that the deceased, John
Vaten, was a painter in the service of the company, and was about
thirty or forty years of age. He was engaged at his work on some
carriages at the time of the occurrence, and it seems he was much
afflicted with deafness, so that the signals were not very readily
heard by him ; and while thus occupied one of the trains came up,
and before be could get out of the way he was knocked down, and
the wheels of the carriages passed over his legs and arms, which
were severely fractured. He was immediately conveyed to St.
greFrge.s H9sPital, where he died in about try Wars.
