MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July 14.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Muscovadoe
Sugar manifested more firmness, and insisted upon prices
equal to those of Friday for all descriptions; refiners and
grocers were more inclined to operate, and a good business
was transacted, the purchases amounting to 600 hhds and
trcs, including the public sale of 97 hhds 22 trcs of Barba-
does and 67 hhds of Trinidad.
REFlNED.—Further reduced rates having been submitted
to for Refined goods, caused rather more demand from the
home trade, and an opinion is getting current that prices for
the present have nearly arrived at their lowest point, although
the refiners continue to work freely, as stocks in second hands
are small, and the consumption continues to be as large
as ever.
MAURITIUS.—There has been little business transacted
privately in any description, and none has been brought to
public sale, but holders are not disposed to submit to any
further decline in prices, as the stock is still less than it was
last season, although further parcels have arrived. The de-
liveries of this kind of Sugar continue to be on a large scale.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was more
sought after, but stiffer rates being asked operated against
business, and at public sale 1,108 bags were nearly all taken
in rather above the value.
FOREIGN.—Today there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, but 484 hhds 50 trcs 82 brls of Porto Rico are declared
for Thursday.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 2,591 bags of
Ceylon Coffee were offered ; there was less demand, and the
native was all taken in at 42s for good ord pale ; the planta-
tion, however, nearly all sold, but upon lower terms.
TEA.—Congou has been purchased with caution, but pre-
vious rates are insisted upon. For Pouchong the demand
has been only for small parcels at 3d to 6d for low and mid-
dling, and 7d to 9d for good to fine quality. Twankay has
met with little attention, but prices are sustained. Hyson is
not to be had on lower terms, but there is a pause in the de-
mand. Scented Orange Pekoe is heavy of disposal. Impe-
rial and Gunpowder in small parcels have been taken at late
rates.
SPlCES.—Although there are sellers of Nutmegs upon
lower terms, still little business had been transacted. Mace
has been much sought after, but prices are firm. For Black
Pepper there are few buyers, low as prices are. White is
only worth 4d to 6d for low to fine quality. Cloves are
heavy of disposal.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was less in request, and 4,369
bags at auction were only in part sold at 3d per cwt decline.
SALTPETRE.—To-day a good desire was shown to operate
in rough, and 1,990 bags of Calcutta at auction were all sold
at full rates.

SPlElTS.—Jamaica Rum of common quality has been pur-
chased with caution, but the better kinds have brought im-
proved prices. Leeward Island is still wanted, and prices
continue high. For Calcutta the market has a firm appearance.
Demerara has been in increased request, and brought fully
former rates. Brandy has been purchased with increased
freedom, and holders are less inclined to realise. Geneva in
fair demand for exportation. For Corn Spirits the market
is quiet.

INDIGO.—The large quarterly sale of East India, consisting
of 15,875 chests, commenced this day. Before the beginning
and during the progress of the sale, 1,011 chests were with-
drawn from various parts of the catalogue. The quantity
which actually passed the hammer is 924 chests. The sale
began without animation, and the first marks in the cata-
logues, although firmly supported by the proprietors, sold
very unevenly at from last sales' prices to 3d advance.
much better demand has prevailed for Rapeseed
Oil, but no improvement has occurred in prices. Holders of
Palm show less firmness, and have accepted prices rather
under those previously current. Prices of Linseed Oil have
suffered no further depression. For forward delivery there
has been little passing. Olive has been rather more in de-
mand, but prices are prevented from rising by the continued
arrivals. Lard Oil is little wanted. For Seal Oil lower
prices having been taken tempted buyers to ope-
rate with more freedom. Cod Oil has met
with little attention. Notwithstanding the low
terms upon which there are sellers of Southern, still
exporters and the home trade operate with caution. Sperm
has been sparingly dealt in, but merchants are unwilling to
further reduce their prices.
TALLOW.—A brisk demand has prevailed for home made
Tallow, and prices are firm at 40s to 40s 6d per cwt net cash,
although the market is still well supplied, but at these mode-
rate rates several parties are disposed to get well into stock.

ROMANTIC ESCAPE.--A corresplndent of the Evening
Packet gives the following account of a romantic, and, I may
add, singularly delightful escape from drowning : Lieut.
Fraser, of the 56th Regiment, and Mr. John Swift, of. Fort
William, Mullingar, while boating on Lake Owel, on Thurs-
day last, was upset, and saved themselves from immediate
death by clinging to the keel of their boat. They were in a
very exhausted state, when three young ladies, who hap-
pened to be in a boat in the offing, perceived the accident,
and with the utmost promptitude plied their oars, and came
in a most dexterous manner to the rescue. The heroines
took the young gentlemen on board their boat, and, in a
short time, landed them safely at Clonohugh, where they re •
ceived every attention from the owner of that hospitable
dwelling. The ladies are Miss Swift, sister of one of the suf-
ferers, and the Misses Hamlin, of Belville-lodge,
