MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price' Current of November 8.)
SITGAL—To-day the market for West India Mus-
covado Sugar was firm ; colury descriptions were taken
readily by the Grocers at prices fully equal to those of
Friday, indeed the supply falls short of the demand.
Tis afternoon a public sale of 93 hhds 7 tres Barbadoes
went off steadily at full rates ; good yellow at 67s to
68s 6d, mid 64s to G6s, and low 62s to 63s 6d per cwt.

Crushed Sugar, at 25s 3d to 25s 6d per cwt. Loaves met
with ready purchasers; 10 lbs and 14 lbs at 30s 6d to 31s
per cwt. Refined goods were less in request for home-
use, but prices were sustained, and the supply is but
moderate. Refined Sugar is cheaper in preportion to
the raw article. In other articles theire is no variation.
MAURITIUS.—This afterwards there was no public
sale, but privately yellow sorts were sought after, and 61s
6d paid for a parcel of middling dingy yellow.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand for Bengal
was good, and 3,000 bags at public sale were sold at full
rates, fine white at 70s, good 68s 6d to 695, mid 64s 6d
to 65s 6d, good yellow 63s 6d to 645, mid 62s to 635, and
good mid Dobah 67s to 67s 6d per cwt.

India, still the trade have operated with much caution
by private contract, Trinidad at 33s to 33s 6d for mid
Red. Foreign has sustained the former value.

from the home- trade, and holders were less desirous to
press sales. Padang at 27s 6d for good ord ; Porto

mon at 2id per lb ; for Ireland about 130 hhd" at from

at from aid to 54d. Stripped Leaf has been in steady
demand, at from 54d to 7d, for a few of Pew selected as

has been done ; in all about 2,000 hhds sold, a propor-
tion of which are for re-sale, the price paid re-
ported to be about 2d per lb ; about 400 hhds for
export at from 2icl to 4d per lb ; the remainder for

winch have been sampled, turned out of fine strong qua-
lity and in very good condition, but veryi few of a
silky free, or with much nature or pliability : no cargoes

been taken by the home trade, mostly of the late

importation, at from 41-d to 7d, which have turned out
of a good strong :quality. In Maryland but little done.
Negrohead, common 2d to 3d, mid to good 4d to 5d ;
for the finest brands 7d to Bd. Such qualities of Havannah
and Cuba, Columbian leaf and roll, St. Domingo, as suit
for our home purpose meet with a steady sale at former
prices. Fer export little done, the holders demanding
more than buyers can afford. Segars, good qualities and
sizes meet with a ready sale for home trade at full prices,
and common in good demand for export at from 4s to
5s per lb.
INnico.4—This afternoon East India Indigo was much
enquired for, and towards the close of the market Ben-
ual could not be purchased under an advance on last quar-
terly sales rates of 6d, and other sorts were held for 4d
per lb advance. The purchases since the arrival of the
mail amounts to 700 chests.

appearance, and lower rates were accepted ; P. Y.
Candle on the spot selling at 48s 3d to 48s 6d
for new, and 48s 6d to 48s 9d for delivery in
spring months. The shipments from St. Peters-
burgh being larger than •Was expected together
with the weather being mild, tends to restrict
business in this market. The export from St. Peters-
burgh has been 109,000 casks, against 128,000 in 1841 ;
137,800 in 1840, 149,200 in 1839, and 141,270 casks in
1838. For auction on Friday 35 tons Hudson's Bay
Tallow are declared.

INDIAN DISPATCHES.
(From To-night's Gazette.)
INDIA BOARD, Nov. 8, 1842.
The following notifications, issued by the Governor-
General of India, have this day been received at the East
India House :
NOTIFICATION.—SECRET DEPARTMENT.
Kurnaul, Sept. 3, 1842.
The Right Hon. the Governor-General of India has
directed the publication of the following copy of a dis-
patch from Major-General England, K. 11., 'dated the
19th ultimo. By order, &c.
T. H. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of
India, with the Governor-General.
FROM MAJOR-GENERAL R. ENGLAND, K.H., TO T. H.
MADDOCK, ESQ.
Camp, near Killah Abdoulah, Aug. 19.
Sir—l have the honour to report for the information
of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council,
that the British force at Candahar having evacuated that
city on the 7th and Bth, I moved from my encampment
near its IN alls on the 10th, pursuant to instructions, with
the detachment under-mentioned, en route to Quettah,
and that I arrived on this ground yesterday:—One trorp
late Shah's Horse Artillery; seven guns, drawn by bul-
locks; two Ressallaha Irregular Horse; one ditto J'oona
ditto; 25th Bombay Native Infantry; late Light Batta-
lion Native Infantry; Ist, 2d, and sth Regiments late
Shah's Infantry.
2. It was communicated to me on the 9th and subse-
quently that the insurgents were preparing to attack the
column and convoy under my charge in its. passage, and
especially that they would make efforts to intercept it in
the strong country of the Kojuck range, at the northern
extremity of which I arrived with little molestation on
the morning of the 16th.
3. Whatever might have been the intentions of the
enemy, it was ascertained by reconnoitring that the
highest points of the mountain were not yet occupied by
them, and I thought it right, therefore, notwithstanding
that the troops had just completed a night march of
twenty-four miles, to push forward a light column to
seize the summit at once.
4. This operation was perfected by three battalions,
and the most important ridge and all the peaks com-
manding the principal passes were gained by the troops
before dark.
5. On the following morning the insurgents began to
appear in small bodies on different hills, but the route
being flanked they did little mischief, and the baggage,
artillery, and immense retinue under the protection of
this camp, including nine or ten thousand beasts of bur-
den, began the ascent, covered by a rear-guard of two
battalions and the cavalry, and I was soon made aware
of our good fortune in having seized the heights on the
previous evening, for the number of the enemy gradually
increased, but all their efforts to capture the baggage, or
indeed to interrupt us to any serious extent, were frus-
trated, and the passage across the Kojuck mountains may
be said to have been perfected by noon on the 18th.
6. I have had the highest reason to be gratified with
the exertions of all the officers and troops on this occa-
sion, and it is entirely owing to their incessant efforts in
duties or great fatigue, under a privation of water, both
in climbing up the extreme points of the range to drive
off the enemy whenever they appeared, and in dragging
thirteen pieces of artillery over the ridge, that this ser-
vice has been accomplished with so little loss on our side
of life or of convoy.
7. I beg to inclose a list of the casualties in killed and
wounded of this column which have occurred since I left
the immediate vicinity of Candahar.
8. My last accounts of Major-General Nott were of the
13th, three marches north of Candahar.
9. His Highness Prince Timoor and his family are in
my camp, and every possible attention is paid to his com-
fort and safety.
10. The Right Honourable the Governor-General will
have been informed that the Chief Saloo Khan, who had
taken service with us after the affair with the enemy of
the 28th April, near Hykulzie, suddenly absconded from
the military post held by us at this place, on hearing of
our abandonment of Candahar, and it was presumed that
he was at the head of the insurgents in the Kojuck hills,
but I am not inclined to believe that lie was thus em-
ployed, and I think it more probable that he may have
proceeded to join Prince Suftur Jung, who had placed
himself at the head of affairs at Candahar.
11. I have no information to warrant the expectation
of any serious opposition between this mid Quettah, es-
pecially as the Brahoe connexion with the Affghans
seems severed for the present, and I hope to be enabled
to report my arrival at Quettah to his Lorpship on the
27th or the 28th instant.
12. Pursuant to the instructions of Government of the
19th of March, I have assumed the political responsi-
bilities as well as military command, vacated by the
casualty therein contemplated in the departure from
these countries of Major-General Nott.—l have, &c.,

On approaching the ground a few horsemen appeared,
but retired as we advanced. I soon learnt that the
enemy, under the chiefs Hadji Alli and Khyroollah
Khan, occupies the village and fort of Mammoo Khail,
about two miles from Gundamuck, and I determimed
upon attacking them the following morning.
I ordered up a squadron of the 3d Dragoons and Cap-
tain Broadfoot's corps of Sappers and Miners from
General Sale's camp, and they joined before daylight the
following morning.
At four A.si. yesterday morning, I moved towards the
enemy with the following troops : 1 squadron sth Light
Cavalry, 1 squadron 10th ditto, No. 6 Light Field Bat
tery, sth company Sappers and Miners, her Majesty's
9th Foot, 26th Native Infantry, 60th Native Infantry,
Broadfoot's Sappers. On clearing the broken ground in
front, I divided the infantry into two columns, with a
wing of her Majesty's 9th loot at the head of each, and
skirmishers in front. I directed Captain Broadfoot with
his corps to go the right. The cavalry also advanced on
the right to cut off the retreat of the enemy.
Captain Abbott's battery accompanied the columns,
and, as we advanced, occasionally opened on the enemy,
who continued in position so long we hoped they would
oppose us with their whole force ; but they retired on
our approach, and we entered the village.
The fields in front of the village were purposely flooded
to prevent our advance. The left column then went to-
wards the fort of Mammoo Khail, and the right column
proceeded to Kookhi Khail ; the ground was impracti-
cable for cavalry near the whole distance ; but on one
or two occasions an opportunity did offer, and the enemy
suffered accordingly. Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, with
some companies of the 9th Foot and 26th native Infantry,
occupied part of the heights in front of the village of
Kookhi Khali, while Captain Broadfoot and some of the
26th Native Infantry cleared the hills to the left of Lieu-
tenant Taylor's position. As Kookhi Khail is about two
miles from Mammoo Khail, and as a position there might
have been attended with risk, unless very strongly sup-
ported, I directed Major-General M`Caskill to retire on
Mammoo Khail. As I considered it of importance to
hold Mammoo Khali, which was the enemy's position, I
wrote:for the whole camp to be brought here, and it ar-
rived in safety yesterday afternoon.
I left the camp standing, and selected Major Davis, of
her Majesty's 9th Foot, to command the following party
for its protection :—Three companies 26th Native In-
fantry, three companies 60th Native Infantry, and 50
sowars of the 3d Irregular Cavalry. The duty was one
of considerable importance, as it was by no means im-
probable that the enemy would take advantage of our ad-
vance to send a party to the camp. The squadron of
Dragoons having arrived just as I was starting, their
horses would not have been equal to a day's hard work,
which induced me to leave them in camp. The over-
throw of this part of the enemy must, I conclude, have
been very unexpected, as the whole of their camp equi-
