MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last evening.)

SUGAR.—The demand for West India Muscovades last week
was general and extensive, particularly on Friday last, the
purchases exceeded 3,400 hhds. and trs. and as the prices
have been stiffening. fur some time past, ;here was a decided
advance realized within a week, the ord. brown descriptions
6d. higher, the good and fine 6d. to Is. higher, and very diffi-
cult to procure suitable Sugars, but the arrivals since are con-
siderable ; better supplies may therefore be expected. -
This clay the Sugar market was very firm, the estimated
purchases including the public sales this day, are 1,300 hhds.
and trs., the Barbadoes 130,hhds. ; and 113 hhds. 14 trs.
67 brls. Trinidad sold at full prices, the latter 51s. 6d. a 575.
The late advance in price is fully maintained. The arrivals
are now considerable.
The stock of West India is now 19,709 hhds. and trs., be-
ing 11,564 less than last year. The .stock of Mauritius
93,963 bags being 12,537 lesS than last year. The delivery of
West 1ndia,2,922 hhds. and trs., being 119 more than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius 4,972 bags, being 126 less
than the corresponding week of 1,834.

The refined market was brisk last week, and goods, particu-
larly parcels entitled to the double bounty, so scarce, that
contracts for delivery a month hence, were made at 355. free
on board, and further contracts at the same rate were refused.
The wholesale grocers were also-large buyers of goods at 765.
and Ilambro loaves 78s. a 795.. The goods continue so scarce,
that the Refiners this afternoon demand a further
.adyanee.
Mauarrius.—The sales of Mauritius Sugar are confined to
small parcels by private contract, at very full prices. The im-
portations up to the 30th ult., are nearly the same as last year,
the stock is 7,000 bags less.

EMT INDIA.— • ast India Sugars are more enquired after,
Air
and at rather li. r prices, on account of the scarcity and
rapid rise in F*et • n descriptions.
The iiports this year up till the 30th ult. exceed those of
last year about 80,000 bags; the stock is now nearly the same.
FolatuN.—Nearly the whole stock of Ilavantqh Sugar in
th.o market is held on speculation for higher prices, for yellow

refused.

The imports of Brazil up to.3oth ult. are 1,240 chts Brazil
against 2,456 chests last year, and of Havannah 8,622 boxes
in 1834, the stock of. the former 5,500 chests less, and of the
latter 13,000 boxes less than last year.
The enquiries for Foreign Sugar continue general and ex-
tensive, and prices 2s. higher. are realised. This afternoon a
parcel of old white I-lava:mall sold at 365. Average price of
Sugar 1/. 10s. 10:1d. per cwt.
WnsT INDIA MOLASSES.—By public sale this day 53 pun-
cheons very good Trinidad Molasses sold 21s. 6d. a 225.

The import of British Plantation Coffee up to the 30th ult.,
has fallen off considerably compared with last '-car, the stock is
also considertibly less. The imports of Foreign and East In-
dia have also decreased, the stock of the former is 10,000 bags
less, the stock of the latter 6,000 bags more, the precent stock
consists of 700 casks and 11,500 bags Ha:vac-limb, 37,000 bags

Hors.—The accounts from the Hop rlantations continue
very favourable, the estimated duty from 205,0001. has ad-
vanced to 215,0001.
TEA.—The Tea sales were stopped this morning and ad-
journed till to-morrow on account of the Commissioners of the
Customs having ordered all Fokien Baca Tea to be in future
liable to the Congou duty of 2s. 2d. per lb. in place of Is. 6d.
per lb. This question was settled about a year ago by Mr.'
Charles Grant (now Lord Glenelg), the question was put
plainly to him, and his reply was, that all Fokien Bobca Tea
should be liable to the low duty of Is.- 6d., and certainly if the
East India Company's Tea were liable to the low duty, Go-
vernment would not be-so!unjust as to charge the high duty of
2s. 2d. per lb. to the free trade, it would be an unjust act to
the me. chant, to the dealer, and all who bought and scAd the
Fokien Tea, and they could no; have a better or clearer docu-
ment than the official letter of the .minister. The trade have

mated crop 104,000 .maunds, which is-, above an average, the

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS AT THE COURI,
BASINGFIALL-STREET, TO-MORROW.

. (From f.!), Lfmitan Gazette.)
Tartan, Ilk-Tratrafacture.,, Stewird-street,

At Guildhall yesterday a hay-salesman of Smith-
field was fined in the penalty of 4/. los. and casts, for selling
several trusses of hay which were deficient' in weight.
IRELAND AND THE IRISH.—Sir. Jonah Barring-
ton's national works, " Memoirs of Ireland and the Uuion,"
now attracting so much attention, is illustrated by engraved
portraits of almost all the iadividuals- distinguished in the af-
fairs of Ireland during the last forty years. Among these
portraits, whiCh are remarkable for their spirit and fidelity,
are the Duke of Leinster, Marquis 'Cornwallis, Earls of
Clare, • Charlmont, Ross, Granard, and Moira ; Lords Cas-
tiorcagh, Kilwerden, Hutchinson, De Blaquicre, and Edward
Fitzaerald ; the Bishops of Waterford .and 110-,‘ ; the Right
Hon. John Philpot Curran Plunkett, Hussey, Burgh, and
Grattan. Considering all these expensive embellishments, the
small cost at which this new and complete edition of so va-
luable an historical work (comblning all the advantages of the
first), may be purchased, is really surprising.
BILBOA, THE CAPITAL OF BISCAY.—A short
but accurate account of this " ancient city of the .Basques"

may not be unacceptable to our readers at this moment. It
is situated in a pleasant and hig‘o!y,cultivate.dplain, surrounded
at some distance by heights of consider able elevation. This
plain is watered by the river Ybaizabal, which is navigable for
large vessels up to Bilboa, that is; nine miles from the sea : it
is 46 miles from St. Sebastian, 210 north of Madrid ; it con-
tains between 800 and 900 houses, and, perhaps, 15,000 of
inhabitants, who are nearly. all actively engaged in manufac-
ture and commerce. • Woollen manufactured goods to the
amount of more than 5,000,000 of dollars used to be exported,
besides a considerable quantity of wool, chesnuts, oil, iron,
hardware, and nther articles of Spanish produce ; the imports
were chiefly Baltic hemp, tar, train oil, linen, and colonial
produce ; the navigation of the port depends upon the tides,
which flow up to, and beyond, the city, and the harbour is
reckoned one of the best on the lanrthern. coast of Spain. The
average number of vesselS frequenting this port has hitherto
been from 500 to 600 sail; there:ere- many Germans settled
here, chiefly in the glass trade. , About half way between the
`sea and the city is the small tewnx.f.Portagalette, where there
is a fort, and where very large. vessels sometimes lighten their
cargoes ; the ground. between this place and Bilboa is very
strong in a military point of view, and if well defended, would.
present serious obstacles to • the approach. of a hostile force.
Vittoria, the capital of Alava, the,.Socond division of Biscay, is
not so large as Bilboa, from whiCh it 13 distant in a south-
eastern direction, tkirty-seVen miles ; its distance from Ma-
drid is about 170 miles, and from Burgos, the capital of Old
entile, it is distant. aboAtforty miles in a northerly direction.
