MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 4.)
SUGAR.--The business transacted in all descriptions
of West India Sugar has been extremely limited ; brown,
grey, and inferior kinds of yellow must be quoted 6d
to is per cwt cheaper. At public sale 23 casks
were taken in, brown St. Lucia, at 51s per cwt.
The decline since this day month has been 2s 6d to 3s
on brown, is 6d to 2s on low mid yellow, but fine sorts
have nearly maintained their former position. The im •
portation has been 3,206 hhds 321 tres and 1,098 barrels
more than in 1844 to this period, and the stock
is heavier than it was at that time. The de-
liveries are 554 hhds 130 tierces and 189 barrels
less than they were in the previous year. Barbadoes Su-
gar is offered upon lower terms, but the trade still operate
with reluctance. Mauritius, Bengal, and Madras, how-
ever have met with increased attention, on account of the
moderate rates that prevail. Raw Sugar is cheaper than
it was in 1844 at this period, by 4s to 7s per cwt.
To-day there was little inclination to purchase British
Plantation Sugar. A public sale of 118 hhds of Barba
does Sugar went off at a decline of to Is per cwt, ex-
cepting for fine, low sold at 51s 6d to 525, mid 53s 6d to
575, good middling 58s to 59s 9d, good GOs to 61s, and
fine 66s per cwt. The total purchases amount to only
350 hhds and tierces.
The stock of British Plantation is now 13,647 Ws
and trcs ; of Mauritius 79,062 bags, which is 59,738
more than last year; the stock of Bengal is now 143,405
bags, which is 99,630 more than last year. The stock
of other East India 137,534 bags. The delivery of Bri-
tish Plantation was 1,359 hhds and tierces ; the delivery
of Mauritius was 7,696 ; the delivery of Bengal was
9,211 bags ; the deliveries of other East India were
4,473 bags, which is 4,414 more than at the correspond-
ing period of last year.
REFINED.—To-day there was very little business done
in refined goods by the home trade; the nearest rates are
71s for brown, and 72s per cwt for standard lumps.
Bonded crushed sugar is wanted at 31s 3d to 31s 6d,
and small packages at 31s 9d to 325, but the refiners
have sold all they can make up to Easter.
EAST lurstA.—This afternoon 1,253 bags of white Ben-
gal Sugar were offered at public sale, and sold 6d per
cwt cheaper--good white went at G2s to 635, good mid •
dling Gls to 61s 6d, middling 60s to 60s 6d, damp
and washed 58s 6d to 61s 6d. 350 bags of Dobah kind

675, damp and washed 63s 6d to 665, good yellow strong
and bright 575, damp and washed 54s to 565. Of
Manilla further parcels were sold privately this afternoon,
making the quantity since this day week 14.000 bags
chiefly at 15s to 17s, and 19s 6d per cwt. At auction
1,809 bags of damaged were sold at the full worth, good

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—An accident Oc-
curred on Friday last, at the Glanwern pit, belonging to
C. H. Smith, Esq., which we regret to state resulted in
the death of two colliers named Wm. Beddow, aged 42,
and Win. Howell, 28, the former having left a widow
and eight children, and the latter a widow, to
lament their bereavement. At the inquest on the
bodies, held on the following day, at the Bony-
maen public-house, before C. Collins, Esq , Coroner,
it appeared by the evidence of William Williams. that
the deceased with two other persons were engaged in
sinking at the bottom of the pit. Witness attended
to the engine, while another man named John
Williams emptied each bucket as it was wound
up by means of a new hempen rope. About
half-past three on the morning in question, the
bucket had been wound to the sheaf of the engine, when
the rope broke, and the basket with its contents were
precipitated to the bottom. Witness could have pre-
vented the occurrence of the accident had not his lamp
been extinguished. Two men who came to their assist-
ance proceeded to the bottom of the pit in another
basket, but by the same rope, and soon brought up
the deceased, bath of whom were then alive, but died
in the course of fifteen minutes. The two other men in
the pit were slightly injured. Verdict, " Accidental
Death."—Cambriaa.
ILFORD. COMMITMENT OF A METROPOLITAN
PoucasiAN FOR FELONY.—George Wynch, one of the
Metropolitan police-constables, was charged with steal-
ing hair from the tails of horses belonging to Mr.
Chilton, a farmer, residing at Chigwell.—James White,
sergeant of police, stationed at Woodford, stated that,
on Sunday morning, the 26th of January. about half-
past four o'clock, near the station at Woodford, he saw
Winch, who asked him to allow another constable to go
to Wanstead with the reports, instead of' him, as he had
hurt himself getting over a hedge from the forest, to
a lane leading to Mr. Chilton's ; in consequence of
this representation another man was sent. On the
same day witness heard that the prisoner was sus-
pected of having stolen hair from the tails of Mr.
Chilton's horses, and the hurt he had received was not
by getting over a hedge, but a kick from a horse ; wit-
ness afterwards saw Mr. Chilton and one of his men ;
and in consequence of the information he received
from them, he went to the prisoner's house and
told him he was suspected, and asked him what hair he
had ; witness knew that the prisoner employed his lei
sure hours in making brushes. A quantity of hair was
produced, which the prisoner said was all he had. Wit-
ness then searched and found more, which appeared like
the hair from one of Mr. Chilton's horses ; on examining
it there was some bean straw in it, and Mr. Chilton's horse
was littered down with similar straw. He examined Winch's
clothes, and found one of the knees of his trousers wet
and saturated with stable manure ; his coat was covered
with blood, and blood was discovered in the stable be-
hind where the horse had been standing ; the hair was
shown to Mr. Chilton and identified by him, Mr. Chil-
ton and his horse-keeper wore examined, and the pri-
soner was committed to take his trial at the next ad-
journed sessions at Chelmsford.—Essex Herald.
MEETING OF TUE PARISUIONERS OF PLYMSTOCIt.
—On Jan. 29 a meeting was held at Plymstook Work-
house, for the purpose of considering the conduct of the
perpetual curate, the Rev. Mr. Coke, who has lately ren-
dered himself notorious, by exhibiting a variety of
Puseyite pranks, and attempting to ride rough-shod
over his parishioners. The meeting was well and most
respectably attended, including among its number the
most influeatial gentlemen of the parish. Colonel Harris
was called to the chair, and the meeting did not separate
until it had passed resolutions strongly condemnatory, of
the conduct of the
present inetunbent.—Devonport bide-
