SIIGAR.—To-day there was less desire on the part of importers of West India Sugar to realize, and a fair home trade demand was experienced. Operations are 1,537 hhds, including at auction 50 hhds, 20 tres, and 200 brls Barbadoes, which sold at 29s to 303 for brown, at 31s to 34s for low to mid yellow, and good mid 343 6d to 35sper cwt. Operations for the week are 4,482 hhds. REFINED.—To-day refined Sugar was in excellent de mand for home consumption, and rates closed with firm ness; brown lumps at 43a to 43s 6d, and low to fine grocery 44s to 45s 6d. Crushed Sugar attracts little attention for shipping, and prices incline downwards. MAIIRITIIIS,—This afternoon a fair business was con cluded in Mauritius at full rates, and holders are less inclined to press sales. At auction 2,565 bags were sold at 303 6d to 33s for low to mid yellow, and .mid to fine brown 27s 6d to 30s.

Penang, 1,000 bags realized 28s 6d to 33s for low to fine soft yellow, bat since lots are taken in. FOREIGN.—To-day floating cargoes or duty paid par cels of Foreign Sugar attracted little attention for the home or foreign markets, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms. None on offer at public sale. MOLASSES.—There is a reluctance to operate in West India, and supply is on the increase, Barbadoes and An tigua can be obtained at 14s to 150, St. Kitts and Lucia 123 to 13s 6d per cwt. The prices required for Bengal and Mauritius are 12s to 12s 63, Porto Rico and Cuba 13s 6d to 15s, yet purchases have been trifling, and several parcels on offer. Tamarinds are in better re quest, West India as 233 to 40s, and East India 7s to 12q. For Honey orders are larger, and prices for Jamaica rolo at 353 to 545, Cuba 32s to 40s, and Narbonne 503 to 603 per cwt. . _ C0e0,5..-The dem-nd is on the increase for West India.

Of Tellteherry 630 cases were in part disposed of at 493 to 533 for good to fine ord, being the full worth.

A telegraphic dispatch from Constahtinople of the 17th announces, says the Moniteur, that the arrange ments proposed by M. de Lavalette, relative to the affair of Tripoli and to the other representations of the same kind, with which he was charged, have been accepted by the Ottoman Porte. The Pattie of Tuesday evening published a para graph, complaining of misrepresentations in the Lon don journals of the reception of the Prince President by the people and the National Guards on the 15th inst. This paragraph is given also by the Illonileur of yesterday, and therefore no doubt can be enter tained of its having eminated from an official source. There is also in the iloniteur of this day an article on the subject of misrepresentation addressed in a direct manner to the Times. ROY AL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Dr. Bacbhoffner has just commenced a very in structive and interesting lecture on the mode of pre serving fresh provisions. The Professor drew the attention of his audience to the great advantages which would arise from a more general adoption of the canister mode of preserving food. The learned Doctor then stated that in many parts of the world, of which South Australia, South America, and Mol davia were an example, animals were slaughtered for their hides and tallow, whereas, if the hermetic method of canister preserving were adopted, a source of wholesome food would be provided for consumption in less favoured regions. The Doctor then stated that he felt perfectly con vinced that provisions preserved in this manner would be highly advantageous to families on account of its portability and economy. All plain dishes, he stated, were fully equal in quality to the products of recent cooking, and the soups and made dishes were greatly superior. The main object of Dr. Bachhoffner's lecture was to explain the nature and advantages of preserved provisions, but he also favoured his audience with some interesting details concerning the culinary art in all ages and countries. This subject on edibles by the learned Doctor was followed by a highly appropriate lecture by the chemical professor, Mr. Pepper, on the bitter ale manufactured by Messrs. Allsopp and others ; for good provender should be accompanied by agreeable and refreshing beverage. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. (From the North Britis h Daily Mail.) A correspondent writing from Southend, Kintyre, communicates to us the following romantic inci dents :—" In the district of Southend lived a widower upwards of fifty years of age, and a weaver by his trade. About a mile distance from his residence there resided the widow of a farmer, ten years older than himself, who had a family of grown-up sons. They were both bereft of their partners within a few weeks of each other, and it appears that ever since a tender attachment had taken possession of both their widowed hearts. Frequent sly opportu nities for courtship were afforded the lovesick swain by his aged inamorata, who, in fear of filial vengeance, took the precaution to admit her lover to her bed-chamber by the window after all had gone to rest. Here they talked over their little plans of future happiness, and enjoyed each other's sweet society till the crowing of the cock and prudence induced a cruel parting. Like all other delicate subjects of romance, their true love did not run smooth—' Heigho, the wind and rain !' The widow's two grown-up son.. were the mortal enemies of their mother's sweet heart, and watched his movements so closely that the utmost stealth and caution had to be adopted in managing their tetes-ii-tete. For some time back this cruel annoyance became so oppres sive to these love - smitten ones that they resolved to put an end to all their sufferings by an elopement, for the purpose of getting spliced. A ccor di ng ly, on the night of the B th instant, tbia second Romeo and his Julliet disappeared. Ne x t morn i ng t h e crue l and undutiful sons gave pursuit, and apprehended the fugitives at Campbeltown, when about to take the steamer for Glasgow. Th e w id ow was b roug ht back in triumph by ber hard-hearted children to Southend, where they locked h er u p i n h er room , and kept a strict watch over her. The knight of the shuttle, however, was not to be b a ffl e d so eas ily of his fair prize, and watched his opportunity. The vigilance of the stern song of the widow having some what relaxed, the mature lovers fou n d means o f com municating with each other and laying a plot to de feat their enemies. On the night of Thursday last, the 18th inst., the weaver hired two daring boatmen to be in readiness to row him and his true love across the Channel to Ireland in an open boat, a distance of 20 miles. Having completed his arrangements at this point, the gallant weaver,' as soon as he conjec tured that the household of his fair treasure was fast under the influence of the drowsy god, p rocee d e d, accompanied by a trusty friend, up Glenbrackrie, and stealthily took out the widow's pony from the stable and yoked it to her gig. At a signal, the fair one's bed-room window opened, and a friendly ladder having been placed for her accommodation, she was soon in the arms of her faithful knight, and safely placed in the vehicle, and away. They are game over bank, bush, and scaur; They'll have fleet steeds that follow, quoth young (old) Lochinvar.' Onward they drove with railway speed to Carskey Bay—a distance of two miles—and here the boatmen were waiting steadily at their post. With all haste the now happy pair embarked in their light skiff; the boatmen plied their brawny arms; and the vessel's prow cut through the blue water. But what sights and what sounds are these I The two sons, attired in their trousers and shirts only, are on the beach. "`Come back, come back, they cried in grief, You may have stormy weather, And I'll forgive you weaver thief, My mither! oh, my mither!' But no—on dashed the boat; and the gallant Lotha rio sent back a shout of defiance, while " One brawny arm was round the helm, And one was round their mother;' The pursuers, however, were not thus to' lose their sexagenarian love-emit parents. Foaming with rage, they sprung into a fishing boat, and an exciting chase commenced. Strong arms bend the oars, and the boats near each other before they are more than a quarter of a mile from the shore. " ' Now, gentle lover, hold thy own, No maiden's arms are round thee thrown.' The boats are about to grapple, but the knight o f th e loom had his ' courage screwed to the sticking place,' and was not to be conquered without a struggle. His boat was ballasted with some large atones ; one of these th h e e lifted, and with the force of a Titan hurled a deci s iv e barque of his pursuers. This artillery is ually had effect, for it crashed in the side of the Pursuing i s s i l v . ff 6 ts if it had been a twenty-four pound shot. As b oat th ee lik was in danger of sinking the bold young men, guns, discretion,' and From the disablepdnstt others in naval combat when their craft now rendered unseaworthy by the enemy's concluded that 'the better part of valour was their vessel's prow shorewards. state of the boat it was with diffi cultyßu t t hou ghli ke a s b h e e a t however, were bevoansde. sig they m a d e cubs deprived of their dam; th ey the yekseized and manned they were not defeated, bear's back T ht h . e f S u t g il i l ti t v h e e s another boat and renewed the e the attempt or gallant hearts were resolved to die i save their mother, end wreak their n by this time, vengeance on their would -be stepfather, whom they swore they would im molate to their resentment. After a gallant chase, the boats again came in sight of one another ab ou t In ' id channel. It now became a matter of life and death with the weaver, and he was for againlaunching the ballast at his pursuers ; but maternal affection was awakened in the breast of his companion, who would not permit the risk of sinking the boat and thereby endangering the lives of her valiant sons ; nevertheless, th ey closed in battle, and a terrible'scene arose, in which both parties fought like heroes, dealing fearful blow s at ea c h o th e r with their oars. Again victory crowned the ' old Lochinvar,' who succeeded in wresting an oar from his foes, and, amid three hearty cheers, his FRIDAY EVE'NING,_ .AUGUST t 27, boat shot a-head, leaving .-them far midst the solitary main, with only a single oar to guide their fragile barque. As it was useless to attonip!l further pursuit in their disabled condition the vanquished wights were compelled to scull their boat with a single oar back towards Kintyre, a distance of ten weary milts; while the victor, with soul elate, sang in triumph, Ob, steer my barque to Erin's Isle !' The sun was high in the heavens next morning ere the young men, weak and faint from the hot pursuit and hard-fought engagement, reached their native shore, where a number of anxious friends were waiting to receive them. The amorous couple have not since been heard of, but it is to be hoped that after all their difficulties and 'hair-breadth 'stapes by flood and field,' they have now attained the object of their wishes, despite of their reluctant and naughty chil dren, and that they are now spending a happy honey moon in some corner of the Emerald Isle, undis turbed by fears of molestation or surprise. .L The principal actor in the above ludicrous affair i s a native, we believe, of the parish of West Kil bride, where he formerly plied the shuttle, but ham for a number of years rented a small farm in Kintyre." CITY BRANCH souP KITCHEN HOSPICE, VICTORIA. STREET, HOLBORN-BRIDGE. The ceremony of opening this institution was cele brated yesterday, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, as president, officiating (the chairman and founder being Sir F. Kelly, M.P., her Majesty's Attorney-General). The refectory, or dining.room, was filled with a highly r e spectable company. Shortly after the arrival of the Lord Mayor, who was received by Mr. Charles Cochrane, the Rev. Dr. Barber, and Mr. Lenten (of Leicester-square), &c., the Rev. Dr. Barber opened the proceedings of the day in a very im pressive address and prayer, in which the Rev. Gentle man reminded his auditory of the duty which devolved u pon all classes of Christians to provide for and sustain their poorer brethren, It was only necessary for him to repeat the words of the Scripture—" The poor shall never cease out of the land, therefore I command thee, sa ying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, and to the needy in thy land. Thou shalt surely give, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him, because for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works and in all thou puttest hand unto." The Rev. Gentleman, whose ad dress was listened to with profound attention, concluded by calling on the assembly to join him in the Lord's Prayer—a request which was fervently responded to. The LORD MAYOR said, that pieced as he was in the position of first magistrate of this city, he could not hesitate to lend his assistance, in conjunction with many of his friends whom he saw about him, in originating a plan which had been developed some time since by many gentlemen for whom he entertained the highest respect, and which had for its object the amelioration of the condition, morally and physically, of their poorer brethren.--(Elear.) Rich though many of them might be, yet recollecting that they, not less than those for whose relief they were that day assembled, were daily dependent upon the providence of a Supreme Being, they should be careful to provide for the wants of those who had not the ability to take care of themselves. He hoped that those to whom the management of the insti tution was consigned would be careful at all times to in culcate ,among the recipients a grateful feeling towards those by whom their wants were relieved. He found that there were a variety of objects contemplated in this institution, and first be would specially allude to the lavatories, &c.; and he must say that he held cleanliness to be a great and paramount object in the promotion of the physical and sanitary condition of the poor. Another object was to instruct the inmates in the duties of domestic servants; and upon this point he dwelt upon the necessity of a reciprocity of kindly feeling as between masters and servants. For himself he could only say that he tcok a part in all such movements as this on the broad principle of trying in his generation to effect some good for his fellow-creatures. Another object which would be attempted was to check street mendi cancy. It was the weakness of human nature not to resist an appeal to individual charity, and hence it was that the vast majority of the public could seldom refuse the appeal of the mendicant in the street, whose case might not be worthy of attention. To correct this evil, it was intended by this institution to appoint six officers, who would be called superintendents, whose duty it would be, as far as possible, to restrain such indiscrieni sate relief, by referring all applicants to the institution, where they would be relieved. Another object was the establishment of a free registry for servants, it being understood that the society would give no recommenda tion unless the character of each applicant should bear the most rigid inquiry. He recollected that some 20 or 25 years si nce , su b scr i p tions were raised for the " house less poor," which effort was attended with great success. This institution had the same end in view. Tho tories, which would not bo ready till the autumn, he most confidently anticipated would be productive of vast benefit. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by ex pressing his hope that the Great Giver of all good gifts would bestow his blessing on this vast and Christianlike undertaking. The building is admirably adapted for the purposes required. In the gallery at the top there is a place sot apart where servants are instructed to clean windows, boots, and plate; to weigh, to pack parcels, Ltsc., and we mention with great satisfaction a room in which tables are laid out in regular form for a dinner, with side tables for dessert, &c. The cooking apparatus is eon , strutted by Mescrs. Smith and Phillips, gas engineers and patentees, and it is applicable equally for heating, cooking, and ventilating. The renowned Soy'sr is the su perintendent of the cuisine, we were informed, but we did not see him on the occasion. Tho dormitories con tain 22 beds for mon, which number will be increased to 40; the female wards contain IS beds. Of the efficiency of the gas apparatus in cooki ng we hail undoubted proof in a substantial repast, of which we had the pleasure to partake; and we have to acknowledge the great cour tesy of Mr. Lenten, who acted as chairman, Mr. Smart, the secretary, &c. The proceedings of the day gave general satisfaction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. Captain Shepheard was brought before Mr. Hard wick charged with being drunk, and with assaulting a police -constable. From the evidence of police constable Smith, C 17, it a ppeared that the defendant was found at an early h ou r in the morning k noc ki ng and r i ng i ng at t h e door of a house of ill-fame in Sheppard-street.

Mr. IlAnnwrcx considered such explanation was needless. He could not understand how Captain Shep heard, w ho professed to b e an officer ands gentleman, could reconcile such conduct with his pretensions. It was not creditable to be found in the morning, in a state of intoxication, creating a disturbance at the door of a house of ill fame. Captain Shepheard said he bad not been able to procur e a bed at Fladon g ' s an d o th e r hotels, an d h e to this house and had engaged and paid for had gone but when he applied for admission he was re a bed ; fused by the owner of the house.

She conse n t e d t o do so, and the prisoner left the shop, but did not keep his appointment; and she heuo nothing more of him until a subsequent evening, when a constable entered with a lady's gold brooch in his hand, and having asked her if she knew anything of it, she immediately recognised it as having been stolen from a glass case of jewellery, which was kept at that prt of the counter where the prisoner had been nig at the time of his visit about the studs. Witness then recollected that on coming out of the parlour to attend to the prisoner she Aserved that the glass case, which had been before closed, was then partly open, but the prisoner's appearance seemed to be too re spectable to justify any suspicion, and, not having in consequence examined the contents of the case, she was not aware that she hadiseen robbed until the brooch was brought to the shop by the officer. The brooch in this case was discovered in conse quence of the circumstances attending another charge of a similar nature preferred by Mrs. Jane Rogers, a fancy stationer at Stamford-hill, from whose state ment it appeared that both prisoners called there on Tuesday se'nnight, and asked to be shown some silk purses. A number were placed before them, but they left without purchasing anything, and a few minutes after they had gone she missed a whole package of penknives from the counter ; she gave immediate in formation of the robbery to a constable, who pursued and captured the prisoners, who were transferred to the station, but the stolen property could not be dis covered. The prosecutrix, however, was positive VS to the robbery, and, the gold brooch having been found in the possession of Phillips, they were both detained upon the double charge, although Phillips declared that he had purchased the article, and was confirmed by Adams, who professed to have been present at the time, and also to have made a purchase himself at the same shop. The prisoners protested their innocence and honesty, but Watts, a constable of the N division, identified them both as the constant associates of thieves for the last two years, one of them having, moreover, been con victed of felony, and they were therefore committed for trial upon one charge, and ordered to be brought up again in a week, it having been intimated that other charges of a like description would no doubt be preferred against them, if an opportunity were af forded for that purpose.

John William Taverner, a young man of respect able appearance, was placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, for final examination, on a charge of plundering his master, Mr. Thomas Griffin, a linen draper, carrying on business, at 7, Beckford•row, Walworth. _ _ _ Mr. Griffin stated that the prisoner entered his ser vice as shopman on Friday, the 13th instant, and on the following day witness left town and did not re turn until Friday, the 20th. From what he was then told he charged the prisoner with misconducting him self in his absence, and said he wished to see the contents of his box. On examining the box he found in it three silk handkerchiefs, seven pairs of gloves, and a piece of satinette, all his property. On making this discovery he sent for a constable, and on further examining the prisoner's boxes he found five yards of black silk, four yards of black satinette, 16 yards of glace silk, three yards of Irish cloth, five yards of muslin, seven silk handkerchiefs, and a satin scarf, all of which belonged to him, and which were acknowledged by the prisoner to be his property, and were of the value of ill. Witness also found in his room a concertina and a new box, and the prisoner, when asked how he came by them, acknowledged that he had taken a piece of silk, which he pawned for 205., and a piece of satinette, which he pawned for 15s. The piece of silk now produced, and also the piece of satinette, were his property, and were of the volue of 4/. _ _ _ _ Mr. NORTON—Have you had a character with this young man, Mr. Griffin ? Mr. Griffin—l had, Sir, a very good character; but his former master is here, and wishes to say something about him. Mr. NORTON-Why this seems a wholesale robbery. In one short week the prisoner seems to have robbed you of property amounting to 151. I suppose there Is some gambling at the bottom of it Y Prisoner— No, Sir, there is not. A shopman in the service of Messrs. Spink and Son, pawnbrokers, 2, Gracechurch-street, produced two pieces of silk which had been pledged at the shop of his master on the 16th inst. for 11. 155.; but he could not say that the prisoner was the person who pawned them. The former master of the prisoner said that after he had left his situation a quantity of property had been missing; but he had no means of proving that it had been stolen by the prisoner. Mr. Griffin here said he had no doubt whatever that the prisoner was connected with a gang of bad characters, as a man dressed as a butcher called on him at the shop, and this person, being watched off, was seen to join three or four others in the neighbourhood, some of whom carried bags similar to those used by lawyers—or he might add, " con veyancers." The prisoner, who expressed his sorrow for his con duct, was fully committed for trial. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The health of London is stilt depressed by the prevailing epidemic, and 1,084 deaths have been re gistered in the third week in August. In the cor responding week 2,456 of the inhabitants died thia e years ego ; while in other years the deaths ranged from 842 to 1,057, and were, after correcting for in crease of population, 1,013 on an average. 238 deaths were referred to diarrhoea, 18 to cholera ; of the latter 16, of the former 176 were children under the age of 15. Two old people died of cholera, 19 of diarrhoea, which was also fatal to 13 persons of the middle age of life (15-60). Scarlatina, that enemy of the young child, was fatal to 27 boys and 22 girls, of whom two were 15- 20, twenty-two were 4 and under 10 years of age. Forty persons, comprising 25 adults, died of typhus, 4 only of measles, 13 of hooping-cough, 14 of small pox. Within the last three weeks smallpox has de clined. In the week no death from influenza, scurvy, or ague was registered, and only 2 from infantile re mittent fever. Consumption destroyed 140 lives, tabes 29, hydrocephalus 37 ; 41 pawns died of disease of the heart, 41 of pneumonia, 21 of bron chitis, 2. of cancer, 29 of violence —namely, 2by burns or scalds, 5 by hanging or suffocation, 4by drowning, 16 by fractures and contusions, 1 by wounds, and 1 by other violence. Of child-bearing 8 mothers died. 581 males and 403 females-600 children under the age of 15, 316 men and women under, and 162 above, the age of 60—died in London in the week from all causes, out of about 2,420,000 living. This mortality is much below that experienced in the other large cities in the world; but the untimely age at death, as well as a comparison with other places in England, shows that in this city there is still a great waste of life health, and energy , which ma y be save d by draining ' London, and by other hygienic arrange ments. While cholera is in Warsaw those measures should be carried out which experience has shown cannot be attempted when the epidemic is in London. The following are the returns of the 18 cases of cholera registered in the week. " Summer" has been substituted throughout for " English" cholera, or cholera Anglica, wherever it is used in the medical certificate. At Westbourne-gardens, in the sub-district of Kensington-town, on the 15th August, the son of a carpenter, aged 8 months, " summer cholera (5 days)." At Chepstow-mews, in the same sub district, on the 17th August, the daughter of a job-master, aged 10 months, " summer cholera (3 days)," At 9, Farm-lane, in the sub-district of Fulham, on the 14th August, the son of a single woman, aged 2 months, " diarrhoea or summer cholera (5 days)." The medical man who attended this case states that a great many cases of diarrhoea have occurred in the same place. The houses in Farm-lane have privies adjoining them, they are full to overflowing, and are intolerable. At 1, Graham-street West, in the sub•district of Belgrave, on the 15th of August, the wife of a coach smith, aged 72 years, " cholera (3 days)." At 29, New-end, in Hampstead, on the 14th August, the son of a painter, aged 6 months, " diarrhcea (3 days), summer cholera (30 hours). At 25, Upper Cleveland-street, in the sub-district of Tottenham-court, St. Pancras, on the 18th August, the son of a servant, aged 6 months, " infantile cholera." In the same sub-district, at 4, Kingston (?) Russell-place, spinster, on the 18th August, aged 70 years, " Asiatic cholera (4 days)." At 1, Pleasant-row, Newington-green, in t h e sub district of Islington East, on the 15th August, the son of a coachman, aged 5 months, " cholera infantum (8 dhe ays)." In ,t same sub• district, at 9, Bowman's-place, Upper Holloway, on the 15th August, the daughter of an oilman, aged 3 months, " cholera infantum (48 hours)." At '7, Charles-street, in the sub-district of South St. Giles-in-the-Fields. on the 15th of August, the daughter of a street hawker, aged 5 years, 4 , c h o l era (12 hours)." The registrar, Mr. Faulkner, remarks, that the mortality among children has been very great lately in his district. Of 95 deaths registered since the 18th Au gus t , t h e in the sub-di s t r i c t o f Holy ell 2l July, of all causes , 54 have been those of child ren from one hour to 9 y ears. iktwloll, anS(rinii‘thi'oso-rbi jueiilddsi daughter of a cord wainer, aged 11 months, "diarrhoea (3 weeks), cholera infant= (3 weeks)," At IG, Shaftesbury-street, in the sub-district of Hoxton New-town, on the 16th August, the daughter of a brewer's servant, aged 5 month s , lc infantine cholera (1 4 day s).
