MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

( From the New London Price Current of this Evening.)
SUGAR.—The estimated purchases of West India Muscova-
does last week were 3,000 hhds. and trs. ; there was not the
slightest alteration in the prices. There were no West India
Muscovadoes on show this day ; the sales are nearly equal to
she landings, and the market continues to have a very firm
appearance, the arrivais are fully as late as we anticipated, they
are fully a month later than last season, and the reports are that
the quantity will be less than what has been generally ex-
pected. The stock of West India is now 17,473 hhds. and
trs., being 415 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius
110,098 bags, being 26,196 more than last year. The deli-
very of West India 2,691 }Aids. and trs., being 720 less than
last year. The delivery of Mauritius 8,293 bags, being 1,608
more than the corresponding week of 1834. In Refined there
was no variation last week, the quantity on sale was still in-
considerable, and the few purchases made were at the extreme
prices 755. 6d. and 765., for the long price, 355. and 345. 9d.
for the short price. There is no business to report this after-
noon in Refined Goods, on account of the holiday.
MAURITIUS.—There was no alteration in Mauritias Sugars
last week, the former prices were firmly maintained.
WEST INDIA.—The sales of East India Sugar were exten-
sive last week, they were about 11,000 bags, of which the
great proportion was Manilla, which sold in some instances
6d. per cwt. higher, mid. to fine brown 245. 6d. a 275., good
brown to mid. grey Java 245. 6d. a 275. 6d. damp, mid.
white Siam 275. 6d. a 295.
FOREIGN.—There were no sales of Foreign Sugar reported
last week. Average price of Sugar 11. 10s. tad. per cwt.
COFFEE.—There was no alteration in British Plantation
Coffee last week, the ordinary to fine ordinary for the home
consumption were in great request at full prices, and the finer
qualities were also enquired after. In Foreign the only sale
was a cargo of St. Domingo at 535. for Hamburg. The only
alteration in East India Coffee was a further advance of 25.,
in Ceylon Coffee ord. sold at 515., good ord. 60s. a 625.
This day there was only one public sale of Coffee : in the
market there are great speculations as to East India Coffee
coming more into demand for home consomption, by the ex-
pected reductionin the duty, of which there is much con-
fidence that this event will be announced by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer in bringing forward his budget, which is
looked for next week, the sales are chiefly in Sumatra and
Ceylon Coffee, the latter of good quality has been sold at 635.,
the former 445. a 475. By public sale this day 34 bales Mocha
sold at full market prices, 70 bags Demerera at previous rates.
COCOA.—There is no alteration in Cocoa. The Govern-
ment contract for 50 tons attrrct some attention.

The town of Wimborne, in Dorsetslaire, was all
astir by the elopement of Miss Barrett with a Mr. Stevens on
Wednesday evening last. A loving swain expected to be

blessed with the lovely fair on Whit Tuesday, as the necessary
arrangements were being made for that purpose.

A FORTUNE-HUNTER AT SCARBOROUGH.—A
person of gentlemanly appearance and address, who seemed to
be about twenty-six years of age, favoured this fashionable
watering-place with a visit towards the close of last season,
and with surprising aptitude gained an introduction into the
first circles. He came from the North by the steam-packet,
and established head-quarters at Mr. Hooper's, the Bell Inn,
where he remained nearly three weeks. He then fixed on
lodgings of no ordinary respectability, in Huntriss-row. He
represented himself as J. 11—, Esq., arid the son of a large
landed proprietor in Roxburghshire, in Scotland, who was an
intimate acquaintance of the Duke of Buccleuch. His father,
he said, allowed him 5001. a year. He attended the billiard-
rooms during the winter evenings—spoke loudly of his con-
nections and respectability—and introduced himself to different
gentlemen, and, from his liberal conduct, gained several ac-
quaintance. Being furnished with a genteel figure and neat
address, he turned his attention to the female world, and in
the warmth of vanity and pride, purposed the possession of
riches and beauty united. To secure this object he wrote se-
veral letters to different ladies of fortune, offering terms of
matrimony, but all ended in defeat and disappointment. At
last, however, he became acquainted with the daughter of a
respectable ship-owner, who sanctioned his approaches, and
associated with him. The amorous Caledonian soon became
tired of love and turned his attention to marriage; and never
doubting but that the lady's father, although at first displeased
with a clandestine marriage, would soon become reconciled
to the merits and prospects of himself, without any stipulations
as to jointure or settlement, pin money, or other minor affairs,
the nuptials were celebrated in the gloomy month of March,
at St. Mary's Church, by the Rev. Mr. Miller, the vicar. The
father, hearing of the circumstance, hastened to the church to
stay the proceedings, but he was too late. The next day the
newly-married pair were invited to her father's house, and the
old gentleman became strongly attached to his son-in-law, who
talked much of his family and friends, and the large estates
his father enjoyed. But he required the trifling suf. a 1501.
for some purpose or other, which, of course, was immediately
granted, and the happy pair went to Liverpool to visit a rela-
tive. He then proceeded to the Isle of Man, and purchased
horses, which were forwarded to Scarborough for sale, but no
one seemed inclined to purchase horses of that breed•. He
then took stables at Bridlington, and the Roxburgh gentleman
then let out haek-horses ; but fortune sunk him still lower—
his horses were sold by the hammer, and he returned to Scar-
borough, delivered over his lady to her parents, and went in
search of a living I
