MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 28.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was not much inclination shown to
purchase West India Sugar, but merchants evinced firmness,
and the small business transacted was upon former terms.
REFINED.—There has been an extensive demand for re-
fined goods for home consumption, and advanced rates have
been paid ; indeed the market has been nearly cleared, es-
pecially of the low and middling descriptions.
Mauumus.—This afternoon Mauritius met with little
attention, and 4,508 bags at auction were only in part sold,
at rather lower rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was better sup-
plied with Bengal Sugar, and three parcels, amounting to
2,700 bags were offered at auction.
FORElGN.—Although there are few shipping orders for any
descriptions of Foreign, and our refiners working under bond
being supplied for the present, still holders show firmness,
and have refrained from bringing any to public sale.
MOIASSES.—HoIders of West India submitting to rather
lower rates caused buyers to operate more freely, and 500
puncheons have been disposed of.
TFA.—There has been no public sale held since our last
report, but there is a large quantity on offer, by private treaty,
of black and green ; the trade, however, both in town and
country, are not inclined to take more than their present
wants require, notwithstanding the moderate rates that
exist. . . . . .

COFFEE.—To-day there was little desire evinced to pur-
chase Mocha Coffee, and at the public sales of 9 cases 387
bales, prices declined 2s to 4s per cwt; a small part only was
disposed of.
COCOA.—British Plantation is little wanted, and the quan-
tity brought forward having exceeded the wants of the trade,
a decline in price of is per cwt has occurred this week.
SPICES.—This afternoon Black Pepper was purchased with
caution, and 500 bags of Malabar at public sale were taken
in at 314 d for heavy sound, but the sea damaged sold at
2%d to 3d. 30 sacks 85 bags Nutmegs in the shell went at
Is 3d to is sd. 624 bags East India Ginger were withdrawn,
but 30 casks of Jamaica sold at 61 16s for good, 558 to 67s
for middling to good middling, and 49s for low.
RlCE.—There has been little desire evinced to purchase
Bengal privately : three parcels, amounting to 1,451 bags
and 700 pockets, were offered at public sale, and a part only
sold at a decline on former rates of 6d to is per cwt. Madras
is little wanted, and prices are not so firm. Of Java there is
still little to be had. Cleaned Rice is held with firmness and
is wanted ; Patna at 23s to 275, and Carolina 36s to 40s
per cwt.
SPIRITS.—There has been a brisk demand for Leeward
Js id Rum this week, and an advance in the value of Id per
gallon has taken place; indeed nearly the whole on show
has been cleared of the market. For Calcutta the demand
has been active, and higher rates paid; Demerara
has been in good demand, and prices keep on the
advance. The Government Contract for 100,000
gallons of Rum, half East and half West India, was taken
this afternoon by Messrs. Lemon, Hart, and Co., within a
fraction of 2s lid per gallon proof strength. Brandy has
been in good demand; prices have advanced a little.
Geneva has been in good request. British Corn
Spirits are much in demand at lOs 9d per gallon,
nett cash. Malt Spirit according to quality is selling at
12s 9d to 13s 6d. For Gin the demand has been active, and
prices are very firm.
Fnuir.—ln Currants, by private contracts, the importers
having shown a disposition to meet the views of the buyers,
and a large business appears to have been done, Of Turkey
Pulled Figs, in the low and inferior qualities, some extensive
sales have been made at reduced rates, but fine rather scarce,
and obtain full prices; of Muscatels the finer qualities sell
freely, at very full prices.
SAGO.—This afternoon at public sale 391 bags of Sago
Flour were taken in at 20s 6d, but sea damaged sold at 13s
6d to 14s 6d.

Calcutta WPIlt with spirit, at.a further advance of 6d per cwt.

VISCOUNTESS VILLIERS.—It is gratifying to learn
that her Ladyship, eince Wednesday last, has been progres-
sing so satisfactorily Pat further daily accounts from her
medical attendants were ciZs
erred unnecessary. Dr. Seymour
has not been to Upton-hott" since his return on Monday
night last, when he conveyed I:.
Sir Robert and Lady Peel
the welcome news that Lady might be considered as
past all danger. Since Monday me.rning her Ladyship has
slightest doubt but
continued to recover, and there is not
have regained her
that in about a month her Ladyship wit:
strength. Miss Villiers is nearly recovered.
THE GALWAY COLLEGE.—It afKvrds us much
pleasure to be enabled to state, upon autht.
'7 y'
that Mr.
Berwick, nephew of Grattan, of illustrious a-0 patriotic
memory, has really been appointed Vice-Preside,: of the
Galway College. Mr. Berwick is a gentleman of the ‘l'Mst
polished manners, and of the highest literary attainmen:'"
and of whom, if we do not mistake, Mr. O'Connell himseli
some years ago spoke as " that creature of genius." Mr.
Berwick is a liberal Protestant, and his moral character, we
have heard, irrepioachable in every sense of the word. His
appointment, therefore, as Vice-President of the Galway
College, cannot but be hailed with the liveliest satisfaction by
persons of every party and creed in the province of Con-
naught. We are gratified to hear it rumoured, on good au-
thority, that our esteemed and exemplary townsman, the
Rev. Dr. O'Toole, Principal of St. Mary's College, Galway,
will be appointed to one of the Head Professorships in our
new provincial Colleges, an office to which his great literary
attainments and experience as a Professor for several years
in the Irish College at Paris give him the highest claims.—
Galway Vindicator.
CROOKHAVEN, Nov. 21.—As a funeral was passing
to the churchyard of Killmoe, on the 18th instant, the
people observed the body of a man floating near the beach
of Barley Cove Bay, and some of them had it taken out of
the water. It was six feet long, stout limbed; and broad-
shouldered, about thirty years of age, the body supposed to
have been a long time in the water. It was interred in the
churchyard, but there was nothing; in his dress cr appear-
ance to give any clue to identity, or any knowledge of how
he came to his death.—Cork Southern Reporter.
GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE, NOV. 25.—T0-day
several thousand tons of pig iron could have been purchased
at 755.; and we understand that one or two small transactions
were mute at this figure. The principal feature among the
trade to-day was a general reluctance to buy for immediate
cash, which shows that dealers do not look forward to any
immediate improvement. A parcel of about 1,000 tons might
have been had for 725. 6d. nett, which we are not aware has
been sold. Looking at the regular supply coming forward
and the general appearance of trade, we cannot but fear a fur-
ther decline.—Glasgow National.
ALARM OE FIRE AT THE ADELPHI THEATRE.—
On Thursday evening, during the performances at the Adel-
phi Theatre, Strand, an occurrence took place which had
nigh been attended with the most fearful, if not fatal, con-
sequences. Shortly after nine o'clock, during the perform-
ance of Green Bushes, a quantity of smoke was suddenly
seen to issue apparently from underneath the s tage, accom-
panied by a smell of gunpowder. Loud cries of " Fire, fire,
fire," were instantly raised, which was followed by a cry of
" Don't mind your clothes—save your lives." Nearly all the
audience rose simultaneously, apparentlywith a view of rushing
to the doors, and many of the females began to utter screams of
distress, when Madame Celeste, who at the moment happened
to be the only performer on the stage, instantly came forward
and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no danger; pray
keep your seats." Mr. Paul Bedford and others of the com-
pany immediately joined Madame Celeste in their assurances
that there was no danger; but some time elapsed before
order was restored sufficiently for the performance to be re-
newed. A number of persons left the house at the first mo-
ment of the alarm being raised, and one lady was carried out
in'a fainting condition. The cause of the smoke did not
transpire.
VESSELS WRECKED.—We have the following
communication from Stornoway, under date of 14th instant:
—" The two vessels which were driven ashore on the
west coast of the island of Lewis, with their bottoms
uppermost, have not yet been identified, but one of
them is supposed to belong to Sunderland. The Uncer-
tain' of Stornoway, Maclennan, master, was wrecked near
Boldero, on the 23d ult., but the crew, after remaining
fourteen hours on the wreck, were fortunately saved." A
gentleman in Sutherlandshire writes as follows :—" On Mon-
day, 20th ult., a vessel came ashore, bottom uppermost, near
13nlzie Island, about nine miles south of Cape Wrath. She
must have been a sloop of from 50 to 60 tons burden. Her
bottom and sides are new, and she bore marks of tar and
butter. The instant she touched the shore, which is bold and
rocky, she went to pieces. It will be proper to mention this,
as it may attract the notice of some having an interest in the
ill-fated vessel."—lnverness Courier.
