MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of April 26.)
SUGAIL.—There has not been so much activity in the Colo-
nial Sugar market this week, as some of the trade have come
to the determination not to do more business than they are com-
pelled until after the Chancellor of the Exchequer has brought
forward the Budget. To-day buyers were more inclined to pur-
chase West India Sugar, and 300 hhds were disposed of at full
rates ; the operations would have been upon a more extended
scale, had there been a larger show. The total sales for the
week are 1,210 hkds and tierces. The market closed very
firmly.

IMPORTANT.—TO THE LADIES.
(From Punch.)
The great success which the " Strong Wind" has met
with in the lottery of wedlock, has induced kis companions
in arms and paint—the Ojibbeway Indians—to advertise
for English wives; and as the said Indians are very
shortly about to leave tho country, early applications
on the part of the ladies are desirable. The Indians
have already at least one wife, but they promise, even as
" Strong Wind" promised, to remain constant to their
new helpmates; a promise which, upon their return to
the back woods, they will doubtless most honourably
perform. We subjoin the advertisements :
;0.1.
" An-QuE-wE•zaNrrs--the Boy Chief The adver-
tiser is in his seventy-fifth year, and shall be happy to
form a matrimonial engagement with any English lady
of known property. The Boy Chief, in his admiration of
the martial character of England, will have no objection
to the widow of a general officer, if under forty. Her
property must not be secured upon herself She must
know how to cure bear's flesh, to hoe, and rake, and
dig, and reap. She must also be able to skin rabbits,
and clean pipes. Principals only treated with. Apply
from tea to twelve.
"N.B.—The squaw must have been vaccinated.
• No. 11.
" PA-TAN-NA-QUET-A-WER-DE—the Driving Cloud.
The advertiser is the War Chief, aged 51, of a remarkably
placable and humourous disposition. Ile has no objection
to treat with a young English lady, and he will, on a mar-
riage settlement, secure to her his scalps. The lady must
have been tenderly and affectionately brought up, as she
will have to carry the wigwam poles of the Driving Cloud
upon all journeys. She must bring:a sufficient income to
keep her husband in tobacco, rum, and laziness. English
securities preferred: no holders of Pennsylvanian bonds
will be treated with."
