MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 30.)

SUGAR.-The market has assumed a quiet appearance
for most descriptions of Colonial Sugar, and there is
generally more disposition on the part of merchants to
realise. For West India the demand has been
limited for bright grocery descriptions, but at
present no general reduction in prices can be quoted.
To-day buyers of West India Sugar come forward with
more freedom ; the Refiners purchased extensively and
from the Grocers a good demand prevailed ; prices im-
proved and left off the same as on this day week • the
large quantity of 901 hhds,_ &c., was disposed of makingl
the purchases for the week 2,200 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.-Prices are not so firm for refined goods,
but the home trade have been induced to purchase
largely of all descriptions upon the following terms, viz.,
brown lumps at 72s to 72s 6d, standard lumps 73s to
73s 6d, tittlers 72s 6d to 775, fine 78s to 82s, Hamburgh
loaves 73s to 80s, double 81s to 90s, and wet lumps
71s to 725.
To-day large parcels of refined goods were taken by
the home trade at the rates previously established ;
Foreign Refined in bond, owing to the extensive pur-
chases of Crushed, for forward delivery, there is very
little to be obtained at 27s 6d, and the Refiners evince
great firmness in their demands, Loaves are only in
partial demand.
MAURITIUS-There has been little inclination shown
to purchase this description of Sugar during the week,
good and fine yellow kinds have sustained the former
currency, but inferior and brown, of which the supply
has principally consisted, are again rather cheaper ;
of 3,243 bags submitted to public competition a part
only was disposed of-fine bright strong yellow at 61s
to 635, good 60s to 605 6d, good middling 57s 6d to 595,
middling 54s 6d to 56s 6d, low dingy 53s to 545, fine
brown 52s to 52s 6d, good 50s to 51s 6d, and middling
48s to 49s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-There is an increase in the stock of
foreign free labour Sugar as compared with that of last
year of 89,934 bags, still the market is sparingly sup-
plied. Manilla is wanted, but the reluctance of holders
to sell still operates against business ; prices, however,
do not improve.
This afternoon the market was well supplied with Mau-
ritius Sugar ; buyers were more inclined to purchase
and the whole sold with spirit at fully former rates ;
fine bright yellow fetched 615 to 665, good 58s to 593,
good middling 56s 6d to 575, middling 54s 6d to 565,
low dingy 53s 6d to 545, fine brown 52s to 535, good
middling and good 50s to 51s 6d, middling 47s to 48s Gd,
and low 44s to 45s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-Importers of brown and yellow Havannah
Sugar are more inclined to realise, and have submitted to
a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt ; there
has, however, been a large business transacted upon these
terms ; but for white prices have ruled firmer ; at auction
fine white fetched 31s to 31s 6d, good 29s to 30s,
middling 28s Gd, damaged 25s to 27s 6d, good
sound yellow 20s to 203 6d, middling middling 18s 6d
to 19s 6d, low 17s 6d to 18s, damaged 18s 6d to 19s, low
to good sound brown 16s to 17s ; .587 boxes 18 brls of
Cuba went at 27s to 28s for good sound white, 25s to
26s 6d for low to middling, 24s 6d for washed, 20s to
20s 6d for good sound yellow, 18s to 19s 6d for low to
middling, and 195 for good washed.
MOLASSES.-For West India the demand has been
good, and former rates are suppored-Dominica and
Trinidad at 22s to 235, and inferior sorts at 20s to 21s
per cwt ; the quantity offering for sale is, however, not
so large as it was a few weeks back, prices rule nil•
usually low, and are 4s to 6s per cwt under those of last
season at this period. For East India Molasses there
are stiil few purchasers. Honey, at auction, fetched
703 per cwt. This afternoon, 100 puncheons of good
Antigua Molasses were sold privately at 22s 6d per cwt.
Cocos.-For West India, the demand has been brisk,
and a further advance in prices of is to 2s per cwt has
taken place ; at auction Trinidad sold at 40s to 41s 6d for
low red, 42s to 44s 6d for mid and good, and 37 for very
low grey ; 74 bags of Grenada went at 46s 6d for fine
bright red, and 42s to 42s 6d for common, but 340 bags
of Trinidad were taken in much above the value, good
fair red at 453 to 465, and fair grey 42s per cwt. Of
Foreign some parcels have been disposed of rather above
former rates ; the stock is not a large one.
COFFEE.-here has been little inclination manifested
on the part of the trade to purchase West India this
week, and although the market has been sparingly sup-
plied, still a further reduction in prices of is to 2s
per cwt has taken place ; few parcels have been dis-
posed of by private contract, and only 78 casks
of Jamaica were offered at public sale, which
went off heavily-mid at 84s to 85s, low mid 775, fine
fine ord 71s to 735, fine ord 60s 6d to 655, good ord 52s
to 565, ord 50s to 51s 6d, triage 43s to 455, and very low
22s per cwt. Of Trinidad 26 casks were nearly all taken
in at 62s to 65s for fine fine ord, 56s to 60s for fine ord,
and 50s to 51s per cwt for ord. Of good mid and fine mid
Jamaica the supply is unusually small. The consump-
tion of West India is still much interfered with by Ceylon.
Holders of East India have shown firmness, and the
market has been sparingly supplied. To-day there was
no public sale of any description of Coffee. Ceylon met
with more attention, and rather higher rates were paid ;
good ord selling by private contract at 55s to 55s 6:1 per
cwt. Holders show firmness.
TEA.- An increased desire has been manifested by
the town and country trade to purchase most descrip-
tions of Tea this week. The lower qualities of Congou
are much wanted, and large parcels have been disposed
of at very full rates-indeed, the supply of these sorts
is greatly reduced ; common to but middling coarse
have been selling at 10111 to Hid, but middling
rather strong mixed blackish leaf is to is Old ;
mid blackish leaf is Id to is 3d; good and fine qualities
Is Bid to Is 6d. The tendency of prices is upwards for
the fine Pekoe kinds. Pouchong common at 51d to 6i-d,
fairish and good leaf 7d to 10d, and superior lOid to Is.
Souchong of the better kinds is little wanted, and prices
are still going down, but for the lower sorts some inquiry
has existed, at late quotations. Bohea is worth 6d to
61d per lit. The better kinds of Twankay have been
in excellent request, chiefly as a substitute for the lower
sorts of Hyson, and prices rule high---Is 4d to is 8d paid
for but middling to middling brightish leaf, and Is 9d to
2s 5d for superior and Hyson kind, but for common
quotations remain at is 2d to ]s 3d, and several
parcels are offering for sale. For Hyson buyers have
been compelled to pay further advanced rates. For
young Hyson holders are not able to obtain higher rates.
Of Orange Pekoe some parcels sold at 3s 2d to 3s sd,
and there is little undisposed of. In plain Orange sales
to a fair extent made at former quotations.
To-eay several parcels of Tea were disposed of at
firm rates : sound common Congou for cash was with
difficulty to be purchased under lld per lb.
SPICES.-Holders of Pimento show firmness, and have
refrained from offering any at auction. Importers of
Cassia Lignea are not inclined to submit to any
.further
decline in prices, and have rs frained from offering any
at public sale. Holders of Cinnamon are reluctant to
submit to lower rates, and but very little business has been
transacted since this day week. Prices rule firm for Nut-
megs, and some parcels have been sold by private con-
tract-Singapore, good at 3s 9d to 4s, mid and good mid
3s 3d to 3s Bd, low mid brown 3s to 3s 2d ; the value of
limed is is 6d to 2s 6d per lb. Mace has sustained the
former currency. Cloves are in demand, prices ruling
low-Penang and Bencoolen selling at 2s to 2s 7d, Bour-
bon 9d to lOid, and Amboyna is 2d to is 6d per lb.
This afternoon white Pepper was in good demand, and
100 bags at auction were all sold at firm rates-good mid
went at 50, and mid 44d to 40 per lb.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-For Leeward
Island Rum the demand is still brisk, and a further ad-
vance in prices has taken place. The sales amount to
200 puns at 2s 41d to 2s 5 id for proof, and for small
parcels of good brown ditto 2s 6d per gallon paid. For
Jamaica the sales are 100 puns, 28 to 30 per cent over
proof at 3s 7d to 3s 10d, 32 to 37 over 3s 1 ld to
4s 4d, superior 4s 6d to ss, and 20 puns high flavour 50
per cent overproof at 4s per gallon. Demerara at 3s 5d
to 3s 6d for fine quality 38 to 41 per cent over, and in
hhds at 3s 7d per gallon. Calcutta at is 2id to 2s 3d

FRUIT.-By the latest accounts received from the
Morea and the islands that the Currant crop had been
seriously injured by the heavy rains, the merchants
generally withdrew their parcels from the market,
awaiting further intelligence by the next mail, but still

only to a limited extent.
SAGO.-Prices rule firm, and none has been offered at
auction ; the demand by private contract, however, has
been limited, at 13s to 165 for low to mid Pearl, 17s to
20s for good mid to good, and 21s to 24s per cwt for fine.
Of Sago Flour some parcels have been disposed of by
private contract at full rates. There is still a large
supply of Arrowroot.

INDlGO—Although the large quantity of 12,172 chests
of East India is declared fur public sale on the Bth of
October, with every prospect that it will be greatly in-
creased, still holders manifest firmness, and home and
export buyers are desirous to purchase. Bengal good
and fine kinds from 4s 6d to 5s 3d per lb. Picked lots
are selling at a profit of 3d to 4d. Madras, Kurpah and
Oudes are wanted, and some parcels have been sold at
from last quarterly sales rate, to a small advance.
Bengal has been sought after, but a further advance in
prices being required has operated against business.
SALTPETRE.—Importers of Rough show firmness, and
have refrained from offering any at auction this week.
This afternoon it was much inquired for, and stiffer rates
paid ; a parcel of Calcutta sq per cent was sold at 26s 6d,
and sales of common of high refraction were made at
24s 6d to 25s per cwt.
RlCE.—There has been a considerable increase in the
demand for Bengal this week. At auction fine white
pearly at 12s, good Ils 6d to 12s, good mid Ils to lls Gd,
mid lOs Gd to lls, sea dam Ist class lls, 2d do 9s 6d to
lOs Gd, 3d do 7s Gd to Bs, 4th do 6s, and Indigo da-
maged lOs 6d to lls 6d per cwt. Java has met with more
attention, low mid white rather broken at 9s 6d, :Did
9s 6d to 10s, and a few lots of good 10s to lOs 6d, sea
dam fetched 4s 6d to 9s per cwt. Yellow Madras at 8s to
its 6d per cwt. This afternoon East India Rice met with
less attention ; Madras at 9s 6d to lOs for low mid
white Bengal kind, and mid at 10s to lOs 6d, being the
full value.

Ons.—There has been a brisk demand for Southern
Oil this week, and although the market has been largely
supplied, still an advance in prices of 15s to 20s per tun
has taken place ; at auction 381 casks equal to
300 tuns were all disposed of at 311 lOs to 321 5s
for good to fine quality ; and by private treaty
some parcels have been sold at 281 to 301 for
common. Seal Oil, pale, at 341 lOs to 451; Cod at
33110 s to 341; Sperm Oil, prime British, at 851 to 86/ ;
40 casks of American at auction fetched 791 to 80/, and
one lot low 70/ ; Headmatter at 90l 5s to 901 15s per tun
for good. Linseed Oil, 24s 6d to 24s 9d per cwt
on the spot ; Rape Oil, 36s to 36s 6d is the value
of pale, and 35s to 35s 6d per cwt for brown ; Olive
at 451 to 461 for Gallipoli ; 431 to 44l for Spanish, and
40/ to 411 per tun for Barbary. Palm at 26s to 28s for
good to fine quality. Cocoa Nut Oil at 29s to 30s per
cwt ; the tendency of prices is upwards, and there is a
large consumption going on. For common Fish Oils prices
are from 11 to 51 per tun under those of last season ; but
for Sperm they are considerably higher than at that
time. Linseed Oil is 5s to 6s per cwt ' • and Olive 20s
per tun lower than in 1843 at this period.
TALLOW.—The improved rates previously established
are fully supported for Russian on the spot, a good busi.
ness has been transacted, and 41s 3d to 42s per cwt are
the current rates given for Petersburgh Yellow Candle
of first quality. For delivery in the last three months
of the year several contracts have been entered into
at 42s per cwt. Town Tallow at 40s 6d to 41s nett cash.

SANGUINARY AND BRUTAL
ASSAULT.

Late on Saturday evening last a number of Irish-
men, who are at present employed at the iron-works
near Kilbirnie, called at a public-house kept by a
respectable old man named Peter Hughes, on the
road to Dalry, and ordered some whisky. After
they had been supplied, they rose to go without
having paid for the spirits. Hughes attempted to
detain them, when the miscreants set upon him
an I his wife, and commenced beating and mal-
treating them in a most shameful manner. The
cries of the old people brought a neighbour to
their assistance, and on his attempts to interfere
he was likewise attacked with equal fury. The
son of this person, a stout young man, came in at this
juncture, and having seized a poker, he knocked se-
veral of the ruffians down one after another, but was
at length overpowered, and the poker taken from him.
He with difficulty escaped from their hands, and
having returned with some of the noighbours, whom
he had called to the rescue, they found the whole of
the windows burst in, and the furniture broken to
pieces. Hughes and his wife were in a state of in-
sensibility; the former had his legs broken, and his
body covered with contusions ; his wife also had been
dreadfully maltreated ; and the young man's father
had his skull fractured, and was otherwise very
much bruised. The whole three remain in a very
precarious state. The county police were speedily
on the alert, and early on Sunday morning suc-
ceeded in capturing four persons, who un-
derwent an examination before a magistrate on
Sunday. Two of them were instantly identified by
the young man, and their persons bore the marks of
the blows he had inflicted on them with the poker.
The party who made the attack consisted of seven,
and it is expected that they will all shortly be in cus-
tody. Four very suspicious characters, whose accent
betrayed that they were Irish, were seen on the
grounds of Grangehill, belonging to Captain Reid, on
Sunday morning; but before the police arrived, they
had disappeared. They are strongly suspected to
have been of the party ; and it is said the clothes of
one of the four were stained with blood. 'We under-
stand that the inhabitants of the district complain
greatly of the riotous conduct of some cf the parties
engaged at the iron-works ; and it is hoped measures
will be adopted to prevent the recurrence of such out-
rages.—Scotch Paper.
