MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of December 27.)
SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation was in a
dull state all last week ; Grocers as well as Refiners
purchased with much caution, taking only ample for
their immediate wants ; the purchases for the three
market days amounted to only 800 hhds and trcs at
prices fid under those previously quoted for the best yel-
low, and Gd to Is par cwt. for all other kinds. To-day
the Sugar market was closed and will remain so until
Tuesday next.
REFINED.—For Refined Sugar prices have further de-
clined, the supply of goods being large, and demand
limited. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the demand has
been excellentat 27s 3d to 27s 6d for first quality. Loaves
large sales have been made at 31s for 14, 31s 6d to 32s
for 10, and 34s to 35s for 61bs. Treacle has been more
in request at 10s. Bastards at 17s to 18s 6d, and Pieces
at 19s to 24s per cwt. Dutch Crushed Sugar at 24s 6d
per cwt, on board in Rolland ; damaged at 22s 6d to 23s
per cwt.

the strongest in the world, because emanating from
the popular will, and firmly rooted in the affections
of a great and free people, and whose fidelity to its
engagements has never been questioned; for such a
Government to have tendered to the capitalists of other
countries an opportunity for a small investment of its
stock, and yet to have failed, implies either the most
unfounded distrust in its good faith, or a purpose to
obtain which, the course pursued is the most fatal
which could have been adopted."
The credit of the United States is no more. It
is worth a moment's inquiry to ascertain the
causes of its fall. We need not delay the inves-
tigation by following the President's attempt to dis-
tinguish between the credit of the Union and the
several credits of the different States of which it is
composed. The Union is a firm, the several States
are the partners in thatfirm, and whether we regard
the causes that have led to the general loss of credit
as founded in dishonesty or insolvency—and they must
be assigned to the one or the other—the effect
must be the same. If the bankrupt members of the
firm are merely dishonest, their dishonesty must re-
flect upon the whole company, which wants either
the will or the power to restrain its members from
the commission of gross fraud, and which may,
therefore, be expected to imitate, in its collective
character, the same fraud when occasion shall arise.
If, on the other hand, the repudiating States can
plead insolvency, the Union must be regarded as
insolvent unless it can be shown that some of the
States are rich enough to make good the defalcation
of their partners. We take, however, the charitable
hypothesis : we believe the repudiating States to be
really insolvent--that it is "their poverty and not
their will consents" to the cheat by which creditors
suffer. These States have borrowed more than they
are able to pay—more than they ever will be able to
pay. This casts a useful light upon the future, as
well as upon the past, of American history. If the
Republicans have been borrowing more than they
have any prospect of being able to pay, they have
been all this time living upon the money and the in-
dustry of strangers. All the riS•osperity—all the im-

to have known, too, without any particular expe-

in which most of the people of the United States
find themselves, are always sanguine, therefore
always eager to borrow, and nearly always
unable to return the money borrowed, how honest
soever their puTpose in borrowing. The people
of England generally have reason to be grate-
ful that so many of the States have resolved to resort
to simple repudiation as a means of wiping out their
debts, rather than to the ruder, more expensive, and
far more mischievous expedient employed by their
ancestors between 70 and 80 years ago—War.
