MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yevterday.)

SUGAR.-There has been a steady trade in British Planta.
tion Sugars this week ; the estimated purchases are 3,000 hhds.
and tees. ; the prices are little varied ; the Barbadoes went of
higher. Rather more business has taken place this afternoon,
but the Market remains without any animation, and for some
of the mid descriptions former prices cannot be obtained. The
Refiners have bought very little, no improvement having yet
shown itself in their market; a few dry brown Jamaica were
taken at 485., and very good brown 50s. ; and fair grey Mont-
serrat at 50s. a 525. ; Berbice of low colour has been sold at
505., being dear compared with more coloury grocery sorts of
Demerara and Tobago at 51s. a 535. ; a few boards of coloury
Montserrat were taken at 545. 120 hhds. new Barbadoes were
disposed of at public sale yesterday, and went off at former
prices front sls. a 565, fxl. The total amount of sales this
week is about 3,000 casks. The arrivals bring 4,706 hhds. and
611 tees. In the Refined Market there has been little varia-
tion this week. Large and small Lumps are again dull of sale,
but there are none of the most common to be had under 645.;
for good small 6Ss. a 705., or 335. a 355. on board is asked;' they
are also very little in demand for exportation, particularly as
fine Lumps, entitled to the double refined bounty, can be
bought so much cheaper in proportion ; fine crashed is nomi-
nally the same as last week ; there are, however, but few
buyers, and only for small parcels at the present rates.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.-Yesterday, 7,608 bags Manilla
Sugar were brought'to public auction, which met a brisk de-
mand. principally on speculation ; the parcel consisted of ord.

arrivals bring 9,834 bags. The public sales of Mauritius have
again been very numerous, amounting to 13,35)6 bags, and the

weeks, havedecidedly made a stand during the present, nb fur.
ther reduction having occurred on any description ; fine brown
selling from 48s. 6d. a 495. ord yellow, 495. 6d. a 50s. fid. mid
yellow, 51s. 6d. a 525. fine yellow, 535. a Ms. 6d. ord grey, 495.
tid. and 50s. 6d. In consequence of the importations this year
being chiefly of bright yellows and grays, brown descriptions
are dearer in proportion, and still fetch Os. a 7s. higher prices
than at the beginning of this year, while low and mild yellows
and grays are 3s. a 4s. and fine bright grocery yellows are only
2s. a 3s. dearer. The arrivals this week are 19,199 bags. The
total importation since January last, is 160,994 bags, being
about 20,000 bags more than that of last year, to this period.

sale this week consisted of 168 chesrs yellow Havannah ; the
white were of very superior quality, and of good colour, they
were bought in at 365., and sold at this price immediately after
the sale : the yellows were of good and mid. colour, but gene-
rally soft, and were sold from 245. a 265. ; by private contract
there continues to be a fair demand, and some business doing
at steady prices, 500 chests good white Havannah having
changed hands from 345. a 365. ; Pernams mid. white brought
235. being 2s. profit on the purchase at a public sale about five
weeks past ; low white Pernams have been done at 255. ; for

SECOND EDITION.
SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

At the conclusion of the business of the Court, his Lordship
stated that he would give judgment in several cases after he had
quitted the Great Seal. I trust, said he, after examining all the
cases, I trust none have escaped me which I shall not be able
to dispose of within a very few days. And Ido hope that I
shall not leave to those who succeed me, the task of rehearing,
and to the parties the expense and the delay consequent on a
rehearing, from their not being disposed of. The motions
which now remain to be disposed of, and which are set down in
the paper, are eight, or six—eight, I believe, are now in the pre.
sent paper. But of course the motions I find are of a date
prior, which could have been heard prior to the Ist of Sept.,
when the Court rose last summer. Those motions, as it now
appears, beyond those heard since that period, amount to some_
where about fourteen or fifteen. The motions which remained
at Christmas amount to nearly the same number. The appeals
at Christmas which were set down, amounted only to seven
or eight, and those which were ready for hearing to four or five.
I doubt very much whether any one of those could have
been, without any inconvenience, heard. But there area con_
siderable number of appeals and re.hearings more—l think
upwards of thirty. I have been exceedingly sorry that there
should have been that_number; But I can only say that it is
30. tiudt of mine. I leave been .ease,,iedipst* zsnxious to get
..t...cough them with the eaale despa,ch, which, Of -the k.nd s•
siatance of the Bar and the parties, 1 was nabled to get jhrough
them during the last summer. But undoubtedly my health
suffered much froth the labours of that year-1831. And
though those that remained were entirely got rid of, I have un-
questionably thenbeen prevented since that fromgiving as much
labour on the business of this Court as I could wish, though I
have certainly intermitted my legislative labours for the
purpose of bestowing all the strength which I had, on
the business of this. Court; notwithstanding, I have
not been able to satisfy myself since Christmas,
for the reasons which I have mentioned. I may venture to state
that I could over and over again have been perfectly excused
for not keeping the field, if I may so speak, though I might have
had very good excuses for not coming into court at all, I
felt it my duty so to do, and it is a very great satisfaction to me
that I have been able to leave the business in the state I do.
I had hoped to have been able to perfect an arrangement
without application to the Legislature, which would have pro-
duced in my opinion the salutary and most beneficial effects of
an Act for certain purposes, for simplifying some of the most
important business of jurisdiction composed of the three heads
voluntarily sitting—of the three heads of the equitable jurisdic-
tion of Westminster Hall voluntarily sitting. It is no fault of
mine that that wish has not been accomplished. I hope and trust
I shall live and see it accomplished, as I hope and trust I shall live
to see another wish accomplished, which, it is known to many
of my colleagues, has long been near to my heart—to see the great
and necessary improvement in this country of the equitable
jurisdiction of the Chancellor severed from all his political
fun:tions. Upon quitting this Court I should in ordinary cir-
cumstances feel nothing but the pain of parting with those from
whom, having always received unvaried respect and kindness, I
certainly feel my tribute of kind and respectful thanks most
justly due. But on my voluntary retirement from office, and
after I am separated under the only pain which it gives me,
I mean of the separation that I have mentioned, I am
supported by the principles which dictate the course I pur-
sue—l am more than supported. The personal feelings to
which I have adverted are lost in the public sense of duty un-
der which I act, and which compels me, I trust without any
undue feelings of pride, to regard the abandonment of power to
the commandments of duty, not as a misfortune, but a glory.
His Lordship delivered the above in the most emphatic and
energetic manner, which no one but those who were present
can conceive,
