MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 3.)
SUGAR.—Firmness has characterised the West India
Sugar market
,this week, the quantity on show has been
small, and the quality of the principal part indifferent
To-day there was a good business transacted in West
India Muscovado Sugar, but merchants mere, in some
instances, compelled to accept rates rather under those
previously quoted for brown and inferior yellow, but
mid, good and fine kinds, supported the former currency.
520 were disposed of, making the total purchases for
the three market days 1,490 hhds and tierces.

RETINED.---.-There has been much activity in the mar-
ket for refined. Goods since we last wrote, the home
trade` have been eager purchasers, and the Sugar houses
are, for, the most part, cleared. The consumption
continues , to be as large as ever, and refined
is still muck cheaper,
,in comparison with good
and fine yellow West India ; brown lumps have
been selling at 72s 6d to 735, standard lumps 748 to
74s 6d, Tittlers ord to mid 73s to 748 6d, good 75s to
76s 6d, fine and very fine 77s to 83s, Hanibro' loaves
74s to 82s, double 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 70s to 71s
per cwt. Bastards are plentiful ; fine selling at 48s to
545, good 43s to 475, mid 41s to 425, and low
38s to 40s per cwt ; of the lower descriptions, the stock in
particular is a heavy one. For Treacle there has been
an immense demand ; boiled from West India Molasses
fetching 21s to 225, patent 22s 6d to 23s 6d, and Golden
Syrup 24s to 27s per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar
a further advance has taken place in prices, 30s 6d to 31s
per cent having been paid, indeed, in some cases, orders
have been refused. There has been a lively demand fur
Loaves, higher prices have been given, and they rule as
follows :-Turkey, double refined 1 2i to 4 lbs on
board British ship 38s to 425, Hamburgh Cubs 355, 9 to
10 lbs 33s 6d to 345, 13 to 14 lbs 82s, Tittlers 20 to 301bs
31s to 31s 6d, and Prussian 40 to 45 lbs 41s per cwt.
Pieces are selling readily at 25s to 275, being higher.
Bastards are in good demand at 20s to 21s for yellow,
and 19s for brown. For Treacle prices have risen to
12s 9d to 13s per cwt. The value of notch Crushed
Sugar is 21s to per cwt.
MAURITIUS.-There has been a greater desire mani-
fested on the part of importers to realise, and a decline
in prices has taken place of 2s to 3s for good and fine
yellow, and Is to I s 6d for inferior, middling, and brown
and grey descriptions; the supply has consisted chiefly
of bright yellow qualities; the demand, however, has been
good, and 5,355 bags at public sale were all disposed of-
tine yellow at 60s to 63s 6d, good 57s 6d to 59s 6d, good
mid 56s to 575, mid 54s to 55s 6d, low 52s Cwl, low heavy
49, 6d, good brown 495, ord 425, fine grey 58s to 595,
good 56s to 575, low to mid 52s 6d to 555; and washed
53s to 60s per cwt. The quality of the Mauritius Sugar
is decidedly superior to that of the former season, and it
is now cheaper than West India or Bengal.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 2,451 bags, were submitted to pub
lie competition, and sold at full rates-good mid and
good yellow at 51s 6d to 595, mid 54s to 575, low 52s to
53s 6d, good damp brown 455, mid 42s to 42s 6d, low
39s 6d, damp yedow 55s 6d to 575, good sound white
665, 'and damp and washed 60s 6d to 64s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-To-day there was more enquiry for Fo-
reign Sugar, and 1,400 chests of yellow Havannah were
sold privately at 21s 6d to 23s for good to fine quality,
being full rates. The market generally has a brisker ap-
pearance.
COFFEE.-Importers of West India have shown firm-
ness, and none has been-brought to public sale, but by
private contract purchases to a fair extent have been
made, and full rates are given ; the supply of middling
and good descriptions is very small, but the stock of
ordinary and good ordinary is large ; the low rates that
prevail for such cause merchants to supply the market
sparingly, as there is a good consumption going on, and
stocks in the dealers' hands by no means large. For
public co/. petition 300 casks, the chief part Berbice, are
declared, the quality of this kind of Coffee is decidedly
inferior to that of previous seasons. 'Although there is
a large stock here of all sorts of East India; still the
leading importers are not inclined to press sales, which
may be ascribed to the cheapness of all descriptions.
With Ceylon the market has been sparingly supplied.
aid by private contract several purchases have been
made in Plantation kinds upon former terms, and this
is the cheapest kind of Coffee subject to the 4d per lb
duty ; for good ordinary a fair demand has existed
privately, and full rates are paid. Only 512 bags
have been offered at public sale, good ordinary pale
sold at 52s • to 53s ; country damaged first class
51s, second ditto 50s 6d ' • pale broken 48s ;. pea berry
69s td 69s 6d, and country damaged, first class 65s per
cwt. 'For public sale 1,500 bags nearly all plantation
kind are declared. Holders of Mocha are still reluctant
to reduce their prices. Company's Java is more in esti-
mation, and the, e are buyers by private contract of good
ordinary pale at 50s, but there are no sellers under 51s
and some parties require 52s per cwt. For Singapore
there has been a steady demand at 30s to 365, and su-
perior at 37s to 42s per cwt. Although prices are un-
usually low for other East India sorts ; still few pur-
chasers are at present to be met with ; Padang is 24s to
28s, and Sumatra 20s to 23s per cwt. There are few
orders for Foreign Coffee at present, but holders still
remain firm, and purchases cannot be made but at full
rates. A better demand is shortly looked for only for
Foreign, but also for common East India Coffee.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Of East India, Lee-
wards, and Demerara some parcels have arrived this
week. The market has still a quiet appearance for
Jamaica, and the only sale that has come to our know-
ledge is that of 100 puns, common and smokey, 30 to 32
per cent over proof at 33 6d, 30 to 33 over clean quality
isshe6dld fpoerr3gs9.9ildunto. 4s, good 4s 2d to 4s 6d, and fine 5s to

In Demerara little doing, and 3s
to 3s 4d is the value of strong. For Leewards 2s 2id to
2s 3id is the value of proof strength. For Calcutta the
price is 2s 2d proof, with certificate. In Brandy several
transactions have taken place at firm rates, and the
market has a healthy appearance ; we quote Cognac,
best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ;
ditto 1839, hhds 4s 11d, puns 4s 9d ; ditto 1840,

and shipping sort is in demand at is 10d to is I Id ; fit

lOs 2d per gallon cash.
TEA.-An increased desire has been manifested on
the part'of the trade to purchase nearly every descrip-
tion of Tea ; for black prices are still going up, and for
green they have ruled firm. There has been an exten-
sive demand for Cengou, and rather higher rates have
-again been given for all descriptions ; common and
middling sorts are the most in request, common has
been fetching 1 ld to 1 lid, good common I I id to
is id, but middling to good blackish leof Is 4d to
Is 6d, fine is 7d to is 10d; Pekoe flavour is lld to 2s 7d

made. Twankay has met with ready purchases, at
former terms, common at is 3d to is 3id, brightish leaf
Is 4d to is 9d, and Hyson kind Is 10d to 28 sd; Hyson
cannot be quoted higher, but the demand has been very
good, common at 2s 6d to 2s 7d, middling to good 2s 8d to
3s, and superior 3s 2d to 4s 6d. Young liyson is wanted.
The business transacted in Imperial has been at late
rates. Of Gunpowder there is not sufficient at mar-
ket to supply the demand, and prices keep high.
For Cape there has been an increased demand,
and stiffer rates are paid. Hyson: Skin is fetch-
ing prices rather above those that prevailed of late.
Orange Pekoe, fine scented is fetching 3s 4d to 3s 5d
per lb. This afternoon several purchases were made in
Tea, and the market has still an improving appearance,
common clean Pouchong is not to be purchased under
7d, and ordinary Congou under Ild per lb cash.
FRUIT.-Although there have been some arrivals of
Currants, still merchants remain firm, and require 47s
for Zante and Cephalonia, and 49s to 50s for Patras.
The price of Valentin Raisins is still kept up at 50s, but
the trade at present buy with caution. For fine Figs
there is a good demand, but for parcels out of condition
there are few purchasers.
MOLASSES.-To-day there was a good trade in West
India MOlasses, Antigua fetching 225, good quality 23s
to 23s 6d, flue 255, Nevis 225, and old Barbadoes 25s per
cwt. The total purchases for the week are 500 hhds.

still small, previous rates are supported, none has been
offered at auction, and by private contract only small
parcels have found purchasers ; low white at 1 is to
1 Is 3d, mid lls fid to lls 9d, and good to fine
12s to "12s 6d per cwt. The stock is still

Madras 8s to 8s 6d per cwt; there has been no public
sale. Cleaned Rice is, however, wanted, Patna at 14s
to 18s, and Carolina 23s to 28s per cwt.
SricEs.-Importers of black Pepper are not inclined
to press sales, prices ruling low, none has been offered
at auction ; but at present there are not many pur-
ehasers. Sumatra is held for 2-id to 2id, Penang lid
to 21d, and Malabar at 2id to 3:11d per lb, white is not
much in request, but quotations do not give way. For
Cassia Lignea the tendency of prices is upwards, the

tions are rather cheaper than they were at that period.
OILS.-The transactions in common descriptions of

Sarah Phillips and John Lewis were brought be-
fore the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted
to rob a gentleman on London-bridge.
The woman, it appeared, from a City policeman's
statement, left the male prisoner to follow the gen-
tleman, who evidently wished to be released from her
importunities. After having met with a decided re-
pulse, she returned to the gentleman and tried to get
at his pocket, and the policeman went up and 'liked
him whether he had lost anything. He replied,
upon searching his pocket, that he had. not been
robbed, but he said that he might have been robbed
of a pocket-book containing 501. The policeman
having known the woman to be a thief, and having seen
her for three hours about the neighbourhood in inti-
mate conversation with the male prisoner and another
man, took her and the former into custody.

Sarah Phillips declared that she had Come to town
very lately from Bristol, in the expectation of being
engaged by the celebrated Mr. Moses, in the tailoring
line, but she was unfortunately disappointed, and she
then determined to get into work as well as she could.
The LORD MAYOR—How did you happen to look
for business in the tailoring line on London-
bridge ?—Sarah Phillips replied that she had acci-
dentally met a gentleman, who entered into. conver-
sation with her, and appointed to meet her on Lon-
don-bridge, and when she was speaking' to him the
policeman interfered and improperly accused her of
an intention to commit a rohbery=a thing which
never entered into her contemplation.
John Lewis said he was passing at the time the
policeman took the, woman into custody, and he just
stopped to see what was the matter, when he was
charged as an accomplice in a robbery.
The policeman stated that. Lewis attempted to
escape when he perceived that the woman was ap-
prehended.
The LORD MAYOR said he clearly saw how the
thing was planned between the two prisoners and
their friend, who had escaped, but the evi4ence was
not strong enough against John Lewis to justify the
committal of that prisoner. His Lordship, however,
thought it necessary to mention that he expected to
see Lewis again at the bar. As for Sarah Phillips,
his Lordship was sure there was quite enough to
authorise her committal to Bridewell.
Committed accordingly. ,

A man named Thomas Evans was charged under
the following circumstances :
A respectable stationer stated that the prisoner,
who had been employed by the persons engaged' to
print for him, called and gave up a duplicate for the
amount of money received for a quantity of paper
delivered to the firm in whose service the prisoner
was to be printed. The paper had been delivered
but a short time before it was sent to the pawn-
broker's shop and pledged for twelve shillings, and
the prisoner had left the ticket for the purpose of
giving the owner an opportunity of redeeming it
from its discreditable situation.

The prisoner stated that the printers by whom he
was employed were in the habit of sending him out
with paper just received from the stationers to pawn-
broker's shops for the supply of their immediate
necessities. On the present occasion he had re-
ceived the prosecutor's paper to put in pledge in con-
sequence of his employers' inability to pay him his
wages, and he thought it was most proper for him to
deliver the duplicate to the owners of the property.
The LORD MAYOR—Have your employers always
taken the paper so pledged out of pawn? Prisoner
—Always. They furnished me with money to take
it out.

MEDICAL ,ADVICE.
There ciinNt be a grosser delusion than this. It
is only because4)oetors, in order to make a trade of
medicine, use poisons and anti-medicinal preparations
as medicines for the cure of diseases, that "advice," as
it is called, becomes necessary; but if you do away
with poisons or anti-medicinal preparations, and only
take that which is proper and good, and which acts in
accordance with the laws of Nature, then all advice
becomes unnecessary. This is the reason that all true
Hygeists are their own Doctors, and laugh at what
Doctors term "advice.' Whenever'they feel pain of
any kind they have recourse to the Vegetable Univer-
sal Medicine, which they can regulate without fear,
so as to produce proper evacuations; hence the fact of
staunch Hygeists in some cases taking twenty, thirty,
and even forty pills at a dose, thereby proving the
Universality of the Medicine, as in the case of Lady
Sophia Grey, for disease of the spine, Sir Richard
Sutton's son, for consumption, living monuments to
attest the fact, and thousands of others. But with the
poisons of the Doctors, such as prussic acid, opium,
arsenic, deadly nightshade, &c., &c., if you take even
half a grain too much, death is the consequence ; and
therefore, to those persons who are, from a state of
ignorance, obliged by Doctors' t•eatment to make
use of such poisons, " advice," of course, becomes
necessary. It is by giving advice that Doctors make
a trade of medicine ; and hence their violent and
unjust opposition to Mr. ➢orison's system, because
it does away With all mystery, and enables every man
to become his own Doctor. This should never be for-
gotten by the public.
Issued by Morison and Moat, of the British Col-
lege of Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf
of the body of Hygeists, who contend, that, since all
diseases arise from one cause, namely, an impurity of
the blood, they can be cured by the Vegetable Uni-
versal Medicine, which being composed of innocuous
ingredients, may be taken by any person without the
aid of a Doctor.

The LORD MAYOR—Have you frequently done
business in this way ? The prisoner—l have been
three or four different times a day to the same pawn•
broker, Mr. Grant, of London-wall, with paper for
my employers, and I took this paper in yesterday.
The assistant to the pawnbroker said that he knew
perfectly well the person of the prisoner as an
habitual customer, and that on one day the prisoner
might have pawned, at three several times, reams of
paper at the shop.
The complainant—Does not your Lordship con-
sider that the pawnbroker is very culpable for taking
such an article as paper from such a man as the pri-
soner, who, he must have known, could not be the
proprietor ?
The LORD MAYOR—Certainly ; I do think him
most culpable.
His LORDSHIP then directed an officer to desire the
presence of one of the firm to whom the prisoner
alluded as having employed him.
One of the partners in the printing firm attended,
and stated, in answer to questions from the Lord
Mayor, it was true that upon some occasions they
had, to answer an i:nmediate emergency, sent reams
of paper which they had received from persons who
employed them to the pawnbrokers, but in a few
hours they invariably redeemed the property. With
respect to the present paper the prisoner had uttered
a falsehood, for he had been sent for the paper in the
morning, and he had never returned from the com-
plainant's.
The Loan MAYOR—You owe him wages, do you
not ? Witness—About five shillings.
The prisoner declared that the sum due to him was
considerably more.
The Loan MAYOR—I shall bind over the prisoner
in his own recognisances to appear here if the pro-
perty be not released ; and I shall expect his employers
to appear also. Probably many persons who pawn
goods which are not their own do nut know the se-
rious extent to which they are liable. Now I can
tell such persons that, by the Bth section of the 39th
and 40th George 111., cap. 99, it is enacted that, if
any person pawn any goods or chattels the property
of another, without being employed to do so by the
owner, it shall be in the power of any justice of the
peace to inflict upon the person convicted of so pawn-
ing a penalty not exceeding 5/. and the full value of
the goods, and. in case of the non-payment of such
penalty, to commit the offender to hard labour for
three calendar months, and if, within three days be-
fore the expiration of hat period, the forfeiture be not
paid, the justice may order the convicted person to be
publicly whipped.
This piece of information made a sensible impres-
sion upon several persons in court.
His LORDSHIP said, in conclusion, that he boded
the Act from which he had quoted would not be for-
gotten by those who (night, for a temporary accom-
modation, be tempted to violate it, and therefore be
subject to all the consequences..
