MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( Front tla, _London New Price Current of April 5.)
SUGAA.—The Market for West India Sugar has been in a
quiet state since,our last report; grocers as well as refiners havo
operated with much caution. Bengal and Maufitiu, Sugar
have submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to Is

per cwt.
To-day the trade evinced little desire to operate in West
India Muscovadoes Sugar, and the market presented a dull
appearance; the purchases amounted to only 70 hhds and trs,
but the merchants were enabled to obtain Friday's rates.
REFINED.—.Since this day week a 'fair demand has existed
for Refined Sugar for home use, and prices have been steady.
To-day it met with a slow sale, and easier rates accepted.
Sales of standard lumps were made at 80s 6d to 81a. In Bas-
tards large sales have been made at •13s to 60s, for common to
fine. l'ieces moved off stadily at the rates quoted above.

Sugar in fair request at 29s for the best.

scription ; good and fine yellow sorts have declined in value

to good grey 62s to 64s 6d per cwt ; the supply has con-
sisted chiefly of bright strong yellow sorts. The deliveries have
again exceeded those of last year. There have been some ar-
rivals. This afternoon there was a better demand, and 4,555
bags at public sale were all sold at full rates—fine yellow at 68s,
good 658 Gd to 665, mid 64s to 655, low mid 63s to 63s 6d, fine

acted but at rather lower rates : the purchases have been 300
puns at 24s to 27s for Demerara, St. Kitt's, St. Vincent's and
Tortola of common and good. Foreign Molasses are in fair
requestat 83 tots 6d per cwt. Honey has met with less attention.

holders general y have beeen enabled to obtain full rates.

were all taken in *.zs under former prices, viz., good ord at 475,
low good ord 45s ; there were some buyers of the best at 453.

quality. Mocha is not offered at any further decline. In
other sorts of Coffee the transactions hare been extremely
limited by private treaty.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of
Coffee, and by private treaty few purchases were made ;
holders, are, however, firm, and have refrained from pressing
sales ; some small parcels of Ceylon were sold privately
at 76s for good, 77s to 78s for fine ordinary, and good
Co.'s Java at 55s per cwt; stocks of all s •rts are diminishing.

CONJUGAL INFIDELITY.—The inflexible rigour of
the Emperor of Russia in cases of conjugal infidelity was dis-
played in the most striking manner at his last visit to Odessa.
A rich Boyard of the country, Count Skrena, who for many
years had been notorious for his extreme parsimony, appeared
on this occasion with new carriages, the finest horses, the
most splendid liveries, and a sumptuousness which out-
-rivalled all who came to do honour to their Sovereign.
At the same time a young and pretty woman, the
wife of Colonel Muller, who had been on a visit to
the family in the Count's neighbourhood, also was at
Odessa, and made herself equally 'remarkable for the style and
grandeur of her establishment and all its appointments. Scanda
soon imputed all this display of wealth and parade to an inti-
macy of a too close nature between the Count and the lady. On
the Emperor's arrival, Count Woronzow, the Governor of the
province, gave a grand ball, to which the Boyard and Madame
Muller were invited, and were prepared to appear with all the
eclat which money could produce. Mme. N fuller was adorned with
pearls and diamonds, gold and brocade, fin e linen anti laces, to se-
cure universal envy and admiration. Sin • was about descending
from her dressing-room to enter her can iage, when the arrival
of one of the Emperor's aides-de-camp- was announced. The
lady's heart beat high with expectation. of some mark of favour
'horn her Sovereign ; but her exultat ion was in an instant
changed into grief and shame, by an order for her on the in-
stant to rejoin her husband at St. Pets irsburgh, unless she pre-
ferred going to a convent at Moscow, s and amain there in se-
clusion for five years. tsThe made her' election for the latter,
and in a very few minutes was on her way to the ancient ca-
pital of the Muscovites: At the same tin se the aide-do-camp went
to Count Skrera with a'peremptoty order for his being banished
to Koursk for five ears, which was carried into execution
with equal promptitude.
A Lyons journal relates that an inhabitant of a
neighbouring town, some time ago, grassted to another the
use of his wife for nine years, at an aunt al rent. The sum
agreed upon not having been paid, and being precluded by the
immorality of the lease from recovering tie a sum due by course
of law, the husband threatened the perm in to whom he had
transferred his wife with vengeance, and k ept arms about him
with the intent of carrying his menaces is Ito execution. This
disgraceful affair being made known to the police, the husband
was arrested, and tried for unlawfully car- ying arms,
,and con-
demned to imprisonment for fifteen days. •
