ployed in the coal-pits of Earl Granville' to

depressed for some time past, and a reduction of wages has
been in consequence expected. Mr. Lancaster, the agent to

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, July 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was offered at 6d
par cwt under the rates of Friday, still refining and gro-
cery sorts were operated in with much caution. The
transactions are only 535 hhds, &c., including at auction
168 hhds 12 trcs Barbadoes, which went at a reduction
on the previous sale of 6d to is per cwt, mid yellow sel-
ling at 36s 6d to 37s 6d, good 38s to 395, fine 39s 6d to
403, and crystallised 41s 6d to 425. Some lots wero
taken in.
REFINED.—To-day rather lower rates being taken for
Refined Sugar, occasioned the home trade demand to be
good, and prices closed at 46s to 46s 6d for Grocery
lumps. The market for Crushed Sugar is firm and a fair
export demand exists.
MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon there were few buyers
of Mauritius Sugar, and at auction 4,222 bags were
nearly all taken in at 6d per cwt. under the rates of Fri-
day, viz., ord yellow at 35s 6d to 365, mid 36s 6d to
37s 63, goqd to fine 38s to 40s, ord to fine brown 31s to
35s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at auction was extensive, and amounted
to 11,920 bags. The best white Benares was in good
demand, at former rates ; but other sorts met with a
dull sale at a reduction on Friday's terms of
6d to Is. Of the total quantity offered about
half sold ; fine grainy whits went at 46s to 475,
yellow 43s to 438 Gd, ord and mid white Benares 378
to 395, good mid to good 39s 6d to 418 6d, fine and

sort, and on the part of merchants a desire is evinced to
sell. In Jamaica Honey operations have been to a fair
extent at 303 to 35s for fine, of the latter supply is
scanty. To-day at public sale 233 hhds Cossipore Mo-
lasses were withdrawn.

in the demand for Plantation Ceylon. The parcels
offered at public sale were 415 casks and 1,242 bags, the

44s to 48s, inferior 39s to 435. Mocha in greater de-
mand, and 3s to 4s dearer. At auction 230 hf bales

vately at 38s to 38s 6d per cwt.

has been concluded in medium to rather strong
blackish leaf sorts at I lid to Is, and in good
to fine is 0,12-d to is 7d; at these rates mer-
chants are less disposed to press sales. Of Oolong seve-
ral parcels have been disposed of at is to is Bd. A
good demand has been experienced for green; the mar-
ket is, however, leas freely supplied; and Young Hyson
continues most in request. Scented and Pekoe Teas

found a more ready sale at the rates existing previously.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was less in demand,
but full rates were required; the consequence was that
1,360 bags Bengal were all taken in at 94 6d to 10s for
good mid and good white.

SPICES.—To-day at sale 250 packets mid export Ben-
gal Ginger at 16s, and damaged 13s, these are moderate

served, partly sold at Bid to 9d per lb. Of Mace 8 cases
sold at 2s to 2s Id for second sort; 85 bgs Bourbon
Cloves qd to 6id per lb.
SPIRITS.—The amount of business transacted in Lee-
ward Island Rum has been small, and more desire is
evinced to sell at is 5d to is sid per gallon proof.
East India is less wanted, and rates tends downwards,
Is 3d to is 3id having been accepted for proof. In Deme-
rara several purchases have been made at is 10d to 2s 31
for 30 to 40 overproof. Jamaica of fine quality is not
higher, yet the home trade and export demand has been
good at 3s 3d to 4s 4d for 34 to 30 overproof. A desire
is evinced to sell low and mid quality3o to 33 over proof
at 2s 3d to 2s 7d, and good mid to good 32 to 35 over

the low qualities there was a fall of 2d to 3d per lb;
1,000 srns were offered and sold—Sobrea at from 3s 5d
to 4s 9d; Cortes is 6d to 33 sd, low and very ord 8d to
Is 4d per lb.

spot; operations are upon a small scale for all purposes,
and 37s 6d to 37s 9d per cwt is the value of fine
Y.C. There is more disposition to operate for deli-
very, and the rates paid 383 9d to 393 for
last three months of the year, at which the mar-
ket is firm. Only limited transactions have taken
place in home melted, although there are sellers at the

291 103. There are few buyers of Cod and 371 is the

terms are sustained with difficulty. At auction 30 tuns
were partly di4posed of at 831 lOs to 841 for Colonial,
and Headmatter 90‘ per tun. The demand is increasing
for Linseed Oil for home consumption, and several export

EXTRAORDINARY SOMNAMBULISM.—One of the
most extraordinary cases of somnambulism that has pro-
bably been heard of took place during the present week in
New-court, Farringdon-street. It appeared that a person
named Thomas Connor resided at 9 in the before-named
court, and on Monday morning a person sleeping in the
same room was aroused from his slumbers by hearing the
window open. He immediately sat up in bed, and was just
in time to see his fellow-lodger jump from the second floor
into the stone-paved court below, the unfortunate man hav-
ing nothing on but his shirt. The instant Connor reached
the cold stones he became somewhat alarmed, and imagining
fast as
that he had been thrown out of the window, he ran off as
he could to the Fleet-street Police-station, and
claimed the assistance of the police, whilst the various per-
sons residing in the same house in the court got up, dressed
themselves, and made the best of their way to Blackfriars-
bridge, fearing that he contemplated drowning himself.
From the inquiries put to the man by Mr. Inspector Scott,
who was on duty at the station when Connor entered, it
was soon found out that the
poor fellow, whilst asleep, had
a dream that some person was standing over his bedside with
a naked razor, for the purpose of cutting his throat. This
