MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 14.).
Suann.—To-day importers of West India Sugar mani-
fested more firmness, and the trade came forward with more
freedom, a good business was transacted in all descriptions,
and the rates given were equal to those of Friday.
REFINED.—lb-day Refined Sugar was pm chased largely
by the home trade, brown grocery lumps brought 64s to
658, and standard lumps 66. to 66s 6d per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar has fwther declined in value, but at 37s 6u
the operations were upon a more extended scale.
MAuninus.— I his afternoon Maul itius met with more at-
tention, and 435 bg-, 6 cks at auction sold at fair market rates
but it was an indifferent parcel, yellow syrupy went at 46s
to 46s 6d, good middling sound 51s, low dark brown 36s 6d
to 37s 6d, and very low 33s per cwt: Privately some parcels
were sold at the former value.
RA ST INDIA.—This afternoon at auction 604 bags of Bengal
Sugar sold at full rates; viz., middling yellow at 52s to 535,
low middling, 51s, damp, 48s to 52s 6d, and washed, 49s to
525.
FOREIGN.—There has been no public sale of yellow

Havannah, and the business transacted by private treaty
has been extremely limited, .28s to 31s is the value of good
and fine, 25s to 27s for low and middling, and 23s to 25s per
cwt for brown. White is little wanted, and there are sel-
lers of fine at 40s to 41s, good 38s to 395, low to middling
34s to 37s per cwt.
MOLASSES.—Prices continue firm for West India, and sales
to a fair extent have been ade.
COCOA.—The stuck of West India baying accumulated
considerably of late, a stronger desire has been shown by some
parties to realise this week, and the limited business trans-
acted has been at a decline on former rates of 2s. per cwt.
COFFEU.—This afternoon the market was well supplied
with Ceylon Coffee, the trade evinced little desire to pur-
chase and a part only sold; but fernier rates were generally
sustained. With Java the market was much better supplied.
TEAS.—Thei e has been a falling off in the dernadd for Black
and Green since last Tuesday, occasioned by the announce-
ment of large parcels for public sale, but holders still show
firmness, and refuse to sell but at previous rates. Congou has
been purchased with caution, but buyers are compelled to
pay 10d to 101/id for common, and lid to is tor good
common quality.
Slum. —This afternoon at auction 126 barrels of Jamaica
Ginger were only in part sold at low prices ; good went at
55s to 70s, and middling at 52s per cwt.
RlCE.—This afternoon at public sale 117 bags of Bengal
Rice sold at 19s 6el for good middling white, and very small
15s 6d, which is the full value; and 127 bags of Mantling°
Flour were taken in at 12s per cwt.

very low to good. 724 boxes 830 half boxes 154
quarter-boxes, new layer Muscatel Basins were mostly taken
ia at 688 to 82s; and 214 boxes 27 halt-boxes new bunch
Muscatels 63s to bids.
COCIIINEAL.—TtIis afternoon there was a good, demand for
Cochineal, and 80 bags of Mexican at auction were sold at
full rates; ordinary to good black went at 55 8d to 6s 2d,
and low to good silvers 5s 5d to 54 7d per lb.
SPIRITS.—To-day Leeward island Rum met with eager
purchases, and higher rates were paid. East India is wanted,
and proof being is lld to Is 111/.2d. In Jamaica a good deal
was done at from 3s 6d to 4s 6d for 33 to 38 per cent. over
proof. Of Demerara some parcels were sold at 2s lldto3s 3d

fur strong.
INDwo.—To-day during the progress of the sale 770 chests
were withdrawn, and 1,021 chests have passed the sale. Pro-
ietors continue to give strong support to their marks of
Iteugal, but prices remain the same as previously quottd,
and without animation in the biddings. several large marks
of Madras and Kurpahs were bought in at about 2d advance
on the July valuations.
TALww.—Tne market has still an improving appearance
for 'Tallow; there has been an extensive business transacted
in Russian v. the spot by chandlers and soap makers.
Town Tallow has been in excellent request, and prices are
firmer, 4h tid to 42s having been paid nett cash., For
all othsr descriptions a good demand has been exprienced
privately, and the public sales went at stiffer rates.

M. TIMERS.— It is said thit lri. 1 biers does not
intend to proltpg his stay in England beyond the close of
the week. He will visit Lord Lansdowne, and will to-
morrow leave Mivart's for the Grange, Hants, on a visit
to Lord and Lady Ashburton, accompanied by Count
Walewski. Madame Thiers and Madame Donne take their
departure to-morrow for Paris. Count W aiewski, natural
son of Napoleon, who has been the compagnen du voyage om
M. Tillers, is son-in-law of the Dowager Countess of Sand-
wich, and consequently nearly connected to the Earl of Sand-
wich. M. Thiess and Count Walewski were to have gone
on a visit to the Earl and Countess of .sandwich, at Hincliiii-
brooke, near Huntingdon, but owing to the sudden death of
Lady Agnes Byng, of course they could not receive company

there.
FATAL ACCIDENT OFF BATTERSEA.—Yesterday
evening, between five and six o'clock, another melancholy
and fatal accident took place nearly opposite the Red House
Tavern, Battersea, by which an elderly gentleman named
George Rutten, f the Vauxhall-bridge-road; lost his lite.
It seems that the unfortunate deceased and a friend hired a
small pleasure boat tor the purpose of proceeding down the
river. They were rowing very gently down with the stream
when they, by some means, came in contact with a heavily
laden barge. The force ot the coliision turned their boat, a
" funny," completely over, immersing them in the water, in-
stantly. Au alarm was immediately made by the persons
who witnessed the accident on shore, and several boatmen
rowed to tie spot, but before they could get to them the -de-
ceased had disappeared. The other gentleman was fortu-
nately saved from a watery grave by clinging to the head-
part of the barge.
THE NEW GAMING ACT.—It was stated in a para-
graph relating to the new Gaming Act, which appeared in
this paper of satui day, that the magistrates at biarlbui ough-
street Police-office, wt.() had look, d into the Act, were of
opinion that au oversight had been con.mitted, inasmuch as
it appeared, according to the wording of one of the clauses,
that licensed victuallers could claim the a, vantage of keep-
ing their Douses open all night (Saturday excepted) for play-
ing billiards, and consuming excisable liquors. This con-
struction of the Act appears, however, on re-consideration, to
be erroneous. There is a subsequent clause which prohibits
licensed victuallers from keeping open their houses for bil-
liards between the hours of one and eight in the morning. It
is necessary to correct the statement in the former paragraph,
as it may otherwise mislead those must interested iu the
matter.

THE LAST DAT PROPIWS.—Messrs. Dealtry
and Burgees, the parties whosi preaching have recently
created considerable sensation in these towns and the neigh-
bourhood, and according to whose interim etation of prophecy,
yesterday (Friday) was to be the day fur the second appear-
ance of Christ, left by the coach for T,vertun, it was under-
stood, on Thursday. About sixty persons were baptised by
these fanatics at Leadenan's-bay on Wednesday.—Plymouth
Times.

Queen Dowager, and the it on. Anne Gore, daughter of the
late Admiral Sir John Gore, and one of her Majesty's Maids
of Honour, were solemnised on Thursday last, in the parish
church of Great Willey.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette.
QUICKER THAN 'LIME.—The St. Louis papers are
felicitating themselves upon the prospects that, when the
magnetic telegraph is completed from Washington to their
city, they will be able to report the speeches in Congress
a few minutes before they are delivered, in consequence of
the difference of longitude between the two places.--Ameri-
can Paper.
