MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.—The quantity of West India Muscovades on show
last week was very limited, and the total sales were only 1,200
hhds. and tees., yet such was the languid state of the trade that
the prices of every description, except the very low browns,
were Is. per cwt. lower. The stock of West India Sugar
is now 5,712 hhds. and trs., which is 3,223 less than
last year. The stock of Mauritius 51,649 bags, being
12,977 more than last year. The delivery of West India
Sugar last week 1,403 hhds. and tees., being 878 less than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius 11,402 bags, being 5,167 more
than the corresponding week of 1831. The stock of West India
Muscovades was never so low as at the present moment : there
is, in consequence, scarcely any offering for sale; the purchases
to-day are too limited for enumeration. The prices are the
same as last week. The Refined Market was in a state of great
depression last week ; the exporters would not give the ad-
vanced prices, and the buyers for the home consumption pur-
chased only very small parcels for their immediate wants ; the
prices were 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower. There is no alteration in
Refined this afternoon ; there are few goods on sale.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—Considerable parcels of Manilla
Sugars have been sold 255. a 265. The lower qualities of Mau-
ritius sold at very full market prices ; all the liner qualities
went off at a reduction of Is.; the latter are now very low in
proportion to the low brown of the difference of quality formerly
10s. ; the difference is now only 3s. a ss. This day's public
sales of Mauritius, 2,322 bags, went off at full market prices,
good higher.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—Towards the close of last week the
demand for Foreign Sugar revived, and the prices advanced Is.
a 25., fine white Bahia 275. 6d. This day's public sale 152 chests
8 half-chests Brazil; good white Rio sold so high as 30s. 6d.,
which makes the advance since Tuesday last 2s. a 3s. ; good
white Pernambuco 295. ; 50 trs. 50 brls. Para, specky and little
strength, sold 235., which is Is. higher. Average price of
sugar 11. 9s. B 5/4d. per cwt.

C OFFEK—The demand for Coffee revived considerably to-
wards the close of last week; very considerable parcels were
disposed of by private contract, good ord. Brazil 565. 6d., good
ord. Ceylon As. a Ms., Batavia good ord. 555. a 555. 6d., fine ord.
595. 6d. a 615., ord. mixed Ms. a As. The British Plantation
descriptions at public sale last week went off at full market
prices, Berbice triage 84s. a 665. 6d., fine ord. Demerara 85s.
Very little Jamaica is now offering in the market. There were
no sales of Coffee this day ; the Market is quiet, but the prices
are fully supported.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLT, ANDS.—The Rum Market
has been very heavy, and where sales have been effected lower
prices must be submitted to, about Id. per gallon, but there
are few or no sellers at this reduction. Brandy is still very firm.
In Geneva there is no alteration.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—TaIIow is in more re.
quest, and the prices are again rather higher. Hemp is rather
lower. Flax unvaried.

IRISH PROVISIONS.—In the last week the import of
Foreign Butter was 3,533 casks, of Irish only 90 firks., and of
Bacon 274 bales. Friesland Butter at the quay we quote 90s.
a 965. as to quality ; and for Irish there is a very limited sale ;
Cork and Limerick we nominally quote 80s. a 82s. The stock of
Bacon at the wharfs being now upwards of 20,000 bales less
than it was at this time last year, the cheesemongers purchase
with somewhat more confidence; singed Waterford we quote
495. a 51s. landed, and for this and the next month's shipment
495. a 50s. on board. Bale Middles 465. a 845., tierce Middles
40s. a 505., Bladder Lard 60s. a lids., as to quality ; and fine Irish
Hams 565. a 645. landed. The late quoted prices for both Beef
and Pork are maintained, but the transactions continue very
trifling.

WOOL.—The four public sales of last week were not so
numerously attended as the February sales, but the same prices
were for the most part fully maintained. In private sales,
scarcely any thing doing, as the stocks on hand, though small,
are not of the kinds which are wanted by the manufacturers.
TEA.—The Market is stationary ; the transactions but limited.
COTTON.—The Cotton Market is very firm at the late
improvement. The purchases this week are 1,050 Surat, ordi-
nary to fine 4 syd. a 5 d. ; 30 Bengal, good sd. ; 260 bowed,
fair 6d., good fair 6 IX, d. ; 30 Egyptian, good fair 7 IA d.
OlLS.—Oils steady in prices, except Linseed Oil, which is
a shade lower, owing perhaps to a cessation of export demand
for the moment.

TURPENTINE.—No fresh arrivals of rough, nor any im-
provement in the demand for spirits, though at Liverpool both
are dearer.

SILK.--There is a decided improvement during the last few
days; thrown Silks have been in request at prices rather improved..
FRUlT.—There is more demand for Fruit. Fine Patras
Currants sold at 745. ; Zante, 655. a 665. ; Red Currants in de-
mand for export at 375. Figs arc scarce. A large parcel old
fine Valentia Raisins divided among the trade at 345.
SALTPETRE.—SaItpetre at public sale on Friday went at a
farther reduction, making a fall of 9.5. a 3s. per cwt. during the
week, 4 refraction, good quality, 345. a 345. Gd. 9 refraction,
315. 6d. This day's public sale 413 bags, refraction 7 per cent. 31s.
RICE.—The demand for Rice towards the close of the last
week rather gave way; 1,32.5 bags offered at public sale were all
taken in, This day's sale 501 bags 14s. Gd. a 15s. a part sold.
INDIGO.—The East India Company's cale of Indigo, which
commenced on the 10th inst., and ended this day, consisted of
3,270 chests Bengal and Beitares, 447 chests Madras, 189 chests

TRADE OF BARNSLEY.—WC rejoice to
learn that the linen trade of this place is much improved.
Nearly all the weavers of character in the town and neigh-
bouring villages are employed. The bleaching grounds begin
to exhibit their wonted colour ; and other symptoms of anima-
tion are visible in the town and neighbourhood.—Leeds Merc.

LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening.—Arrived

Egidius, from Ostend ; the Barton, from Barbados ; the Dart
from London ; the Enigheten, from New Carleby ; the Fre_
derika, from Jacobstadt ; the Pacc, from St. Petersburgh.
Arrived yesterday, the James and Jane, from Laguna; and
Frederika, from Ostend.

The following postscriptum is annexed to
many of the invitations for soirees in Paris :—" The cholera
will not be the subject of conversation."

It is not true that the cholera in London has
been exclusively confined to the lower classes. A Noble Earl,
whose life was only preserved by the prompt administration by
his Countess of the remedies prescribed by the Board of Health,
has since been attended by two eminent physicians, both of
whom affirm the case to have been one of decided, unequivocal,
spasmodic cholera.

Certainly the Anti-Reform speakers in the
late debate showed an extraordinary want of tact in the manner
in which they assailed the motives and conduct of Lords Har-
rowby, Wharnclitfe, and others, who are described as the
" wavers" upon the subject. Towards waverers the obvious
policy is to soothe, and not vituperate—to conciliate, not to cast
off; but on this occasion the scruples of the parties in question
were met in a tone which leaves them, happily for the country,
no possibility of retreat.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S SOCIAL CHARAC-
TER. —The social character of Sir Isaac Newton was such as
might have been expected "from his intellectual attainments.
He was modest, candid, and affable, and without any of the
eccentricities of genius, suiting himself to every company, and
speaking of himself and others in such a manner, that he was
never even suspected of vanity. " But this," says Dr. Pem-
berton, " I immediately discovered in him, which at once both
surprised and charmed me. Neither his extreme great age,
nor his universal reputation, had rendered him stiff in opinion,
or in any degree elated. Of this I had occasion to have almost
daily experience. The remarks I continually sent him by let-
ters on the Principia were received with the utmost goodness.
These were, so far from being any ways displeasing to him, that
on the contrary, it occasioned him to speak many kind things
of me to my friends, and to honour me with a public testimony
of his good opinion."—Family Library, No. XXIV, Dr.
Brewster's Life of Newton.
TREATMENT OF CHOLERA IN THE HOTEL
Diets, Dupuytren commences with making five or
six scarifications of the epigastrium, each of them sufficient to
deplete to the extent of two or three ounces ; he then directs
the Patient to be vigorously dry rubbed with flannel, after
which he administers a cup of the decoction of poppy heads,
which is to be repeated every two hours. Meantime the pa-
tient gets, every hour, a dessert spoonful of a mixture of
subacetate of lead (50 drops), in an infusion of mint (eight
ounces), with syrup. A demilatyment of the decoction is also
given every three hours. The dry rubbing to be constantly
employed. M. Magendie, in the stage of collapse, places his
reliance on strong punch made with alcohol and infusion of
camomile. In the stage of reaction, he gives instead, a simple
tisane; and if there be symptoms of congestion towards the
head, he applies ice, or iced water, according to circum-
stances, M. Recamier adopts the system of cold affusion, and
begins with water at the temperature of sixty degrees of
Reaumur. His internal remedies are infusion of mint,
and, at intervals of a quarter of an hour, a spoonful
of a mixture composed of tincture of opium (an
ounce and a half), sulphuric ether (one ounce), and infusion of
mint (six drachms), with mucilage. The patient is rubbed,
moreover, with camphorated liniment, having a fourth part of
tincture of opium mixed with it. M. Breschet gives acetate of
ammonia in camomile tea—an ounce to the pint; and he pre-
scribes also, sulphuric ether (thirty drops), with tincture of
canella and syrup of quinine, to be occasionally administered.
Laudanum injection; and amoniacal frictions. M. Chomel—
Frictions with spirits and acetic acid. Laudanum, in the dose
of twenty drops to the ounce of mint water and syrup. N.
Gendrin doses largely (a haute dose) with opium, and em-
ploys spirituous frictions, &c. They all agree it may be added
in prescribing the constant use of frictions, with the applica-
tion of hot bricks, bottles, sand, and iron; and, in short, the
prevailing theory among the French practitioners seems to be,
that cholera is a non-inflammatory complaint, which is best
treated with stimulants.—Aftelicad Gazette.

The Ecclesiastical Prescripton Bill went through Com-
mittee, on the motion of Lord LYNDHURST.
Petitions against the new system of education in Ire-
land were presented by Lords Rosslyn, Wharncliffe, Roden,
and the Bishop of London.
The Earl of lIAREWOOD presented a petition from
an individual laying claim to a peerage, the title of which
we could not hear ; also a petition from Port-Glasgow,
pravinz for protection to the West India Colonies.
The Earl of GOSFORD presented petitions in favour
of Reform from the Belfast Reform Club, and from the
Birmingham Political Union.
