MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, of Jan. 6.)
I SUGAR.—Business in the raw Sugar market was resumed
this day. Importers of West India displayed more firmness;
the trade manifested a greater desire to operate, and a good
business was transacted in grocery and refining descriptions
at prices exhibiting an advance on those current previous to
the holidays of 6d. A much larger quantity of all kinds of
Sugar would have been disposed of had it not been for the
stiff rates that were insisted upon.
Berteen.—Since our last report the market has presented
a firm appearance for Refined Sugar; the demand has been
good from the town and country trade, especially for the
low and middling descriptions, the refiners continuing to
work with caution, have been enabled to obtain rather higher
rates, and Refined is rather cheaper in comparison with
Raw Sugar. Pieces have been purchased freely, but no ad-
vance has occurred in the value; the supply at
.present is but a
moderate one. In low Bastards little busmen has been
transacted, but the better qualities have met with attention.
Treacle has met with a good demand, but better prices are
net obtainable. Bonded Crushed Sugar bas been purchased
with more freedom. There has not been much busmen done
in Dutch Crushes: Sugar. Belgium has been purchased with
caution : in Loaves made here in bond a good deal has been
done, but not at better prices.
Mem-rms.—This afternoon the trade were eager to
operate;_ at a public sale of 5,365 bags and 226 casks, it was
A superior parcel, nearl the whole consisting of middling and
good bright grocery descriptions; the quantity of common
Sugar in the .ale was unusually small, the whole sold estab-
lishing an advance on the rates of the last auction of 6d to
is per cwt.
"T INDIA.-,Thi3 afternoon there were six public sales of
Deng.' Sugar, consisting of 5,070 bags, the chief part of
tvhicli cun'isted of white and the better descriptions of
yell, w ; nearly the whole found buyers at and after the sales,
but prices gave way Gd to is for white, Is to Is Gd for low brown and low yellow, whilst the
better kinds of brown and
r ew
yellow brought an advance of 6d to is per cwt.
FOREIGN.—The amount of businesstransacted by private
treaty in brown Brazil has been extremely
limited, although
there are sellers at the late considerable decline that has
taken place in prices. Of white the only transaction worth
noticing is that of a floating cargo of Bahia to
at Trie-te :it 2.5:; 9d per cwt., which is rather under
.istm
'ered
rates. Yellow Ilavennah is dull of sale, and if pares rweerre
to he proesed, former rates could not be obtained. White
is
neglected, and prices are little better than nominal. Other
teats of Foreign have met with a dull sale.
Currier •
.
Thie afternoon Mocha Coffee was sought after,
but
higher rates being asked checked business,and 100 bales
at public tale
were taken in at 80s for good yellow long berry,
first class 724, second ditto 70s, being above the
Nse'llalt(lleB.rnaol((l2. e.vion. several 'parcels were disposed of privately.
l'e.t._Although the quantity arrived since this day week
has been large, amounting to 17,991 pkgs, still holders have
displayed firmness and refrained from offering any at public
sale; the trade manifested an in( dealcreas hasedd heesireen done,

above those previously quoted. Pouchong has been purchased

his been done. For cleaned Rice, lower rates having been
taken, caused buyers to operate more freely—Carolina at 30s
to 345, and Patna at 18s to 235.
SAGO.—Pearl was purchased with more freedom this after-
noon, and 60 chests at public sale were sold at full rates, good
middling small white bringing 32s to 33s per cwt.
CocumEAL—Prices rule firm, and there has been a brisker
demand privately; Honduras silvers at 5s 2d to 5s 9d, black
5s 9d to 6s Bd, Mexican silvers 5s to 5s 4d, and black 5a Gd
to 6s per lb.
MOLASSES. —This afternoon 52 puncheons and 35 hhds of
Bengal Treacle were submitted to public sale, and taken in at
21s per cwt for thick, but rather foul.
WooL.—For English rather lower rates having been
accepted tempted buyers to operate with more freedom, and
several parcels have been disposed ot. In Foreign and
Colonial there has, however, been little business transacted,
and previous rates cannot be obtained.
Stt.x.—Holders of Italian submitting to rather lower rates,
tempted the trade to operate with more freedom. Piedmont
white has been selling at 28s to 30s, and yellows 25s to 30s.
In East India the operations have been upon a more extended
scale, but at rather lower rates.

Sl,lRlTS.—There was a fair quantity of all descriptions of
Rum on show to-day. Jamaica was purcha-ed with caution
by shippers and the home trade. Holders, however, were
unwilling to reduce their prices, common quality we quote
3s 5d to 3s 6d, middling 3s 7d to 38 9d, good to fine 3s 10d to
4s Bd. The market has a dull appearance for Lee-
ward Island, but there are not sellers of common
quality undrr 9s per gallon proof. Calcutta has been
purchased with caution, but prices remain at is Ild to
2s. per gallon proof with certificate. For Demerara the de-
mand has been only for small parcels. Brandy is still at-
tracting attention, and prices are on the advance. Geneva
for exportation has been sold at 2s Od to 2s 2d for common
quality, and fine for home use 2s 7d to 2s 10d. For English
Corn Spirits prices have declined 3d, the quotation being now
108 6d per gallon, nett cash. Gin is not cheaper, but the de-
mand has been less active.

Ixproo.—There has been little business transa ted in any
description of East India by the home trade; there ha been
scarcely any export demand, and these parties that are in-
clined to sell are still cornpell( d to accept prices 3d to 6d per
lb under those of the last quarterly sale.
TAR.—A much better demand has prevailed, but no ad-
vance has taken place in prices. 2,000 barrels of Stockholm
have been disposed of at 15s 3d, and small parcels at 15s 6d
to 16s per barrel. In Spirits of Turpentine a good business
has been transacted at 63s to 645, and of Rough some parcels
have been sold at 13s. per cwt. Some parcels of the latter
arrived.

Offs.—A considerable business has been transacted in Lin-
seed Oil for home consumption, and prices continue on the
ascendency: the crushers keep working with caution. Rape
Oil has been in good request, and prices keep firm.
Cocoa Nut Oil has been purchased with more freedom, and
prices are on the ascendancy. For Palm a good demand
has
seen experienced, and prices rule firm. Olive Oil is
wanted, and several parcels have been disposed of. Of Cod
Oil the trade have been tempted to take several par-
cels in consequence of holders accepting low rates.
Seal has been purchased with caution. Southern cannot be
quoted higher in price, but a fair amount of business has been
transitcted. privately. Sperm is not offered at any further de-
cline in prices, and the supply is less than it was, but the trade
operate with caution. American Lard Oil has been purchased
with caution.

GUANO is not to be had upon lower terms, but there has
been less busiuess transacted.
TALLOW. The trade entertain a favourable opinion
towards Russian ; prices continue on the advance. For de
livery in the next two months several contracts have been
entered into at 438 to 43s 3d per cwt. Town Tallow has
been in excellent demand, and i rices are on the ascendancy.
Of all other descriptions several parcels have been taken pri-
vately, and rather higher rates are given. The quantity of
Tallow expected to arrive for some time is small, and the
stock in second hands is light.

A few days ago the
attention of the bailiff of Mr.
_gentleman residing
near Chichester, was attracted to
MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANLecsvrn, a,
the
o
hearth-stone of his cottage. This continuedlo-nis such of thean
extent that at last it was necessary to remove the stn
altogether, when great horror was excited by the discovery
e
under it of the remains of a full-grown infant child. On
further examination, it was proved that the earth had been
carefully removed so as to form a perfect grave, and that
quick lime had been thrown over the hotly to hasten
destruction, and prevent effluvia. As, however, decomposi-
tion took place, the earth sank in, and hence the discovery.
An inquest was held on the body, and medical testimony was
given to the effect that the remains were those of a full-
grown infant, and that the period of its death, according to
all appearances, must have been three or four years. It
seems that at that time the cottage was tenanted by a former

1 want of necessary accommodation and
ordinary comfort is
every day more apparent. So severely was the cold felt
yesterday in the Court, that Mr. Bond, Chemagistratltf
magistrate,
a few minutes' sitting, walked about the upper platform
with his great coat and hat on, whilst the clerk beneath,
who had no opportunity of keeping himself in motion, was
shivering with cold, and rubbing his benumbed hands. The
officers and public near the public entrances, which admit
terrible draughts, were in a more pitiable condition, and al-
ternately availed themselves of every opportunity that pre-
sented itself to get to the fires in the rooms adjoining the
Court. To add to the discomfort, two of the chimneys smoke
so much that it is found necessary to have either the doors
or windows open. It is obvious that some alteration must
immediately take place in this respect, as it will otherwise be
impossible, when the weather becomes more severe, to con-
duct the public business.
