MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 1.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were
less inclined to realise, and the demand being good they
obtained prices rather above those of yesterday for the
lower kinds, and former rates for the better qualities, so
that prices closed the same as on Friday last ; 500 were
sold to-day, making the total sales for the week 2,200
hhds and trcs.
REFINED.--A further reduction in prices having been
submitted to for Refined goods, the Home trade have
been induced to purchase largely ; brown lumps have
been selling at 7ls to 71s Gd, standard lumps 72s to 72.

MAURITIUS.—The supply at market this week has
been principally of brown, low yellow, and grey sorts,
which are not much wanted, and a decline in
prices of is to 2s per cwt has taken place; mid-
dling good and fine yellow kinds, however, have
sustained the former currency, and are in demand, but
few parcels are to be had privately. At auction, 1,631 bags

IRELALD.
THE EARL OF BESBOROUGH.

DITIOLIN, OCT. 30.—1 t appears by the following com-
munication, addressed to us this morning, that Lord
Besborough is not likely to suffer any serious conse-
quences from his recent accident :
" Carrick-on-Suir, Tuesday Evening.
" In reference to the accident met with by the much-
esteemed Earl of Besborough, mentioned in my last com-
munication, I am now happy to be able to inform you
that the symptoms have much abated—that his Lordship
is greatly relieved from the severe pain under which he
has been suffering for the last three days—and, also, that
the apprehensions which his ..medical attendants enter-
tained at first of serious injury being done to his hip
joint, are now nearly removed. That your readers in
general will rejoice at this, and that they will unite with
the people of this locality in cordially wishing for his
Lordship's perfect and speedy recovery, I can have no
doubt."
