MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 14.)
SUGAR..—To-day there was little alteration in the
value of West India Sugar; but the business trans-
acted was extremely limited, and which was owing to
the dark state of the weather preventing the samples
from being properly inspected ; a public sale of 106 hhds
3 trcs of Barbadoes was in consequence postponed.
MAURITIUS.—A better demand has been experienced
for this description of Sugar, but the market has been
well supplied, particularly with bright yellow qualities ;
previous rates are fully supported, indeed, in several in-
stances, good and fine yellow fetched 6d per cwt advance.
At auction 8,010 bass 278 casks were all sold—fine yel-
low at 62s to 655, ''rood mid and good 56s 6d to 60s, mid
53s 6d t0'568, low 52s to 535, fine brown 51s to 51s 6d,
low and very low dark brown 36s' 6d to 40s per cwt;
nearly the whole consisted of middling, good and fine
yellow.
REFINED.—LTo-day the home trade were less inclined
to purchase Refined Goods, and there was more 'desire
on the part of. refiners to sell. Brown Lumps at 725,
and Standard Lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded Crushed
sugar is greatly wanted at 31s per cwt, but at which
there are no sellers.
MoLassEs. —West India is much wanted, but a fur-
ther advance in prices being required, has tended to
check business ; the sales amount to 300 puns, chiefly' at
23s 6d per cwt for Antigua, being, fully the former worth.
East India are inquired for at 14s to 17s per cwt. The
stock of all sorts is diminishing, and holders manifest
firmness.
FoßErpN.—Yellow Havannah Sugar has been much
inquired! for, but business has been checked by
the short supply at market, and the stiff rates that
are insisted upon. 1,000 boxes have been sold pri-
vately Since Tuesday last at 21s 6d to 23s for mid-
dling to; fine quality. At auction 1,197 chests were
put up, the damaged amounting to 535 chests sold
at 19s 6d to 21s 6d for slightly, and at 18s to 2Qs for da-
maged, but the sound was taken in above the value,
middling and good middling at 21s 6d to 22s 6d, ordi-
nary 19s 6d to 21s, and fine brown 19s per cwt, but the
chief part has since been sold at. these rates. Brazil good
and fine Bahia realised 18s to 19s, and white 20s 6d to
24s 6d for fine quality. In other sorts there has been
rather more business transacted at previous quotations.
CoFkLE,West India is not much wanted at present
for home consumption, and the market has been better
supplied this day week, still holders have refused to re-
duce their prices for clean sorts, but for unclean Berbice
a decline on the former value of 2s to 3s per cwt has
taken place ; the quantity of Coffee brought forward
has proved more than sufficient for the wants of the trade.
This afternoon at public sale 250 bags of Manilla Coffee
were sold at 36s to 368 6d for fine ordinary pale, 34s 6d
sea damaged first class, 34s for second class, 29s for third
class, and 30s for sea damaged and repacked. Ceylon
met with attention, and 43i bags at public sale were all
sold at very full rates ; good ordinary pale went at 523
to 52s 6d, dark Plantation 55s to 51s, fine yellow 86s Gd,
mid 72i Gd. 165 bags of bulked Bahia were taken in,
good ord 29s to 325, ord 26s 6d to 275, and triage 25a per
cwt.

TEA.—Merchants still show firmness, and none has
been offered at public sale, and at present there is no-
thin declared, but the market is not so brisk as it was.
To-day there was little inclination to purchase Tea, bat
merchants insisted upon full rates, common sound
Congou was not to be purchased under Ild, Twankay
Is 3d, and clean Pouchongid per lb. Duty has been paid
at this port on 419,7001b5, during the past week.
Cocos.—The market has become quiet for West
India, but merchants will not take lower rates, on ac-
count of the smallness of the stock. At auction a part
only of 459 bags of Trinidad found buyers at the former
currency ; good middling and good red at 48s to 50s,
middling 44s to 46s 6d, low 42s 6d to 43s 6d, and grey
41s to 43s per cwt. Foreign, however, is much wanted,
and the supply being small, a further advance has taken
place in prices. At auction 80 bags Bahia fetched 37s
to 39s per cwt for good red.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been a
good business transacted in Calcutta Rum. In Leewards
several purchases made, proof selling at 2s 2i-d to 2s 3d
per gallon. In Demerara the transactions are upon a
more extended scale, at 3s 3d for 32 to 33 per cent over-
proof. In Jamaica 300 puns have been disposed of-28
to 33 per cent overproof at 3s 6d to 3s 8d for fair and
middling quality, and 33 to 35 per cent over at 48
per gallon for good. In Brandy an increased business has
been transacted ; an advance in prices of Id per gallon
has taken place for tho best descriptions ; inferior and
middling are held with firmness. We quote Cognac best
brands, of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 3d, puns
5s Id ; ditto, 1839, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; ditto, 1840,
hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; ditto, 1841, hhds 4s 11d, puns
%s 9d; do 1842, hhds 4s Bd, puns 41 fid; do 1843, hhdi
4s 6d, puns 45 4d; common, 2s 8d to 2s 11d; mid to good
middling, 3s to 3s 10d; and Bordeaux common, 2s 6d to
9s 8d per gallon. Of Geneva the stock here is small;
prices are in consequence firm; shipping sort is 10d to
Is I Id, and fine 2s 6d to 3s 6d. For English Corn
Spirits lOs 2d per gallon, cash, is readily obtained, and
lOs 3d for small quantities. Towday some parcels of

REBECCA AGAIN.—Late on Monday night, or
early on Tuesday morning last, a most outrageous attack
was made on the Vicarage-house of Fishguard, the resi-
den'ce of the Rev. Henry Nathan, the curate, during his
absence from home. Providentially, Mrs. Nathan left
the house between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, P.M.,
otherwise death inevitably would have been the result,
the attack being so severe with stones of huge dimen-
sions. About seventy panes of glass were destroyed,
besides other damage. Strong suspicions fell on threa
notorious characters, who were committed in the autumn
of 1843 for destroying the turnpike houses of the parish
of Eishguard. This enmity against the. Rev. Henry
Nathan arises from the circumstance of his communica..
tions with the Secretary of State on the subject of the
Rebecca riots, the result of which has been tne discon-
tinuance of any destructio❑ of property, save in the pre-
sent instance.—Carmarthen Journal.
