CRIPATIA.

The Osservatore Triestino of the 12th gives an
account of an attack made on the 3d inst. upon the
village of Bescavalle, in Austrian Croatia, by a body
of about 30 brigands. The miscreants, after having,
by threats and acts of brutality, forced all the inhabi-
tants to rrrnain within doors, assailed the house of the
curate, am Decanich, and committed all kinds of
atrocities. After ransacking every corner of the
house, they at last decamped with about 2,600 florins
(6,500 c.) in cash, besides plate and other valuable
articles. Tne authoritiQs of Bescanuor, on receiving
informaion of this daring outrage, immediately
dispatched three armed vessels after the brigands,
who had been seen getting on board a small vessel,
which they had concealed in a nook at a short dis-
tance from Bescanuova. The result of the chase was
still unknown when the mail left.

MARKET • INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 26.)
Su°Aa.—To-day importers of West India Sugar wero
not disposed to sell at any further reduction, but the
market presented a dull aspect, both grocers and refiners
operating with reluctance, a decline would have taken place
if sales had been pressed. At auction 169 hhds Barbadoes
went off flatly at previous terms, fine yellow selling at
39 to 403 64, middling and good 35s 64 to 38s 6d, low
33s to 345; 90 hhds 16 trcs Demerara crystalized went
at moderate terms—good to fine yellow at 39s to 443 6d,
low to middling 35s to 38s 6d, and brown 33s to 34s
per cwt. The total purchases today were only 590
hhds, &a.

REFINED.—To-day operations in Refined Sugar were
upon a small scale by home dealers, and there are sellers
of brown lumps at 45s to 45s 6d per cwt. For Crushed
Sugar the export orders are still trifling, and easier terms
wero acceded to.
MAURITIIIS.—To-day there was no public sale of
Mauritius Sugar, and the small parcels sold privately
were rather under the rates of Friday.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Ma-
dras Sugar went at rather lower rates, but the parcels
offered amounting to 7,727 bags were nearly all disposed
of; low and middling grocery went at 33s to 353 6d, good
to fine 364 to 393, soft brown from 26s to 28s, and yel-
low 283 6cl to 325. Bengal sustained the former value,
the quantity ou offer being small, but there is less dis-
position to operate. At public sale 200 bags sold at 38s
6d to 43s for middling to fine white Benares. The
market for other sorts of East India also has a dull ap-
pearance.
Foamost.—To.day the market for Foreign Sugar pre-
sented a dull aspect, there was no public sale, and pri-
vately operations were small for all purposes, although
there are sellers rather under the terms of Friday.
MOLASSES.—The transactions in West India are yet
upon a small scale, and prices are rather under those of
this day week. Only 200 puns have been sold ; Anti-
gua new at 143 to 15s, old 13s 6d; Nevis and St. Vin.
cent's 12s 6,1; and Other sorts of low quality at lls 6d
to 12s. Bengal and M turitius are dull of sale at 115 to
115 6d; Porto Rico and Cuba 133 to 13s 6d. West India
Honey is wanted, and the prices paid are from 36s to
56s for low to fine.

COFFEE.—To-day there was an improved demand for
Coffee, both for home consumption and shipping; on the
part of merchants there was also firmness, and the
market was sparingly supplied with all sorts. The pub-
lic sales of 126 casks and 41 bags Plantation
Ceylon went at fully former term 3 ; good and
fine qualities realizing 60s to 64a, mid 53s to 545, low
mid 51s to 525, fine fine ord 48s to 503, good to fine ord
44s 63 to 475, fair triage 41s to 425. Of native Ceylon
several purchases were made privately, and good ord
fetched 39a to 39s 6d. At auction 106 bags realized
40s 6d for fine ord, and 35s to 39s for damaged.
COCOA.—To-day at public sale 40 pkgs Trinidad have
sold at 42s 6d to 493 for mid to good red, and at 39s to
4 1 s for grey; these are steady rates.
TEA.—Since this day week large arrivals have taken
place here, and important public sales will be announced
shortly. There has been a reluctance on the part of
town and country dealers to operate in Congou, and the
export orders executed have been trifling; the market
is well supplied, and merchants are disposed to sell, low
to good ord at 9id to 10Nd, medium to rather
ttroug blackish leaf 101 d to llid, and good to fine is to
