From the 'London New Price Current ut Jan. 11.) Sucisa—To-day a decline in value took place for brown and the lower sorts of grey and yellow, the better kinds, however, sustained the former value. On the part of exporters little desire was shown to operate, but the low rates current induced the home trode to make pur r chases on a large scale. West India Muscovado was in excellent request for grocery and refining purposes, the sales privately amounting to 800 hbds, &c., and full rates were obtained, excepting for brown and inferior sorts which declined 6d per cwt. At auction 104 hhds 2 trs of Barbadoes sold at rather low rates for fine, other sorts, however, fetched full prices. HEFINED.—To-day no variation took place in the value of refined goods, but the home demand was not so good, whilst the refiners were inclined to sell for forward delivery. The tet.dency of pikes is evidently down wards. The market is quiet for bonded crushed Sugar, but tull rates are insisted upon. MAr RITIVS.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Mauritius, but privately some parcels were sold at the former vslite, but nut above. EAST IN lA.—This afternoon there was no public 'ale, several parcels were taken private') , still better prices could not be obtained. FOREION . —This afternoon at public sale 662 hhds 10 half tierce s of Cuba Muscovado, duty paid, were nearly all taken in at 40s tor fir', and at 37s for low yellow, the small part that sold fetched the former rates, good yellow 39s Gd, mid 38s to 38s 6d, and low 37s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Plantation Ceylon off red at public sale amounted to 96 casks, 550 bags, the whole sold—middling and good sorts fetched stiff- r rates, but the lower kinds went ls. per mot. cheaper ; good realised 58s to 58s 6d, middling 4.s ed to 50, 6d, l ow m iddli ng 445, fine fine ordinary 41s r 221i6nd, fine or di nary 38 s to 40 s , goo d or di nar y 35 5 . t o 37 5 , od t , E ) " . 348 , pea berry 40s 6d to 50s 6d, and damaged 63 go d 56s lb Perduty at stiff" rates—fine to 635, 0 inferior 51s 6d to 5 •s ditto 12s to 15 s , dam b a e Gd ; 782 bags of Tellicherry subject to 4(1 was experienced fur Tea, and i yellow, like Mocha, 6.s 6d to 58s, p ea b e e r} 63 6 6d to 66s 6d, 6 c c i l , bold Triage 30s to 355, low the 12 u s bi to 13s 6d. TEA. —To-day, at sales, a good demand proportion on the part of merchants there was firmness. The sold was likewise larger than for some time pail 00 pack ages , of which Catty boxes. Congou 4,600 The total quantity de clared almd,ouninteediwitiong 2,00 12 ' 70 were sold, fetched stiffer rates, and Caper sustained the former value, whilst Hyson sold Id, Gunpowder 3d, and Impe rial Id per lb above former rates--Congou, fair common fetched 8d toBtl,good 11d; Caper, in box es lid to 7-id; llyson, fair is 41 to is sd; Imperial, good and tine Is 3d so is 9P; and Gunpowder, good 2s 3d t o 2s Ild p r lb. RICE.—To-day East India was in good demand pri vately, and former rates were well sustained. At public sale 400 packets of Bengal were sold at 10. 6d to 113 for low broken dusty white, and 8s 6d to 93 6ti fur sea damaged. Of African Arrowroot Is tacks fetched 3id. Motissze.—To•dey there is little passing in Wait India privately, and the rates taken were rather under thore that existed previously. At public sale 29 puns of St. Lucia went at 16s for ordinary. CocoA.—British plantation is more required,but holders insisting upon an advance on previous rates of Is to 2s per cwt, operated against business, and 425 bags of Trinidad at auction were only in part disposed of, fine red at 50s, good 46s 6d to 47's, and middling 45s per cwt. Foreign met with little attention, and 35s to 37s per cwt is the value. SPICES.—To-day Pimento was less in demand, and 200 bags at auction went id per lb cheaper; good middling and good selling at aid to 3d, middling rather coarse and a little mixed 31d. 30 boxes Jamaica Ginger realized the full value. 712 bags of African were taken in rather above the value. INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India is fixed for the Bth of February, and the quantity declared is at present 3,157 chests, but it will be increased to about 10,000 chests. SPIRITS. —To-day there was only a limited business eluded in Rum, although proof Leewards were obtain able at is 6d to It 7d; East India is sd; Jamaica of good quality 30 to 38 per cent. over proof at 3s 6d to 3s Bd, and fine at 3s 10d to 4a 4d per gallon. The market has a dull appearance for all kinds, and there are further arrivals. _ _ SALTPETRE.—To-day rough was only in limited de mand, and 700 bags of Calcutta at public sale were taken in at the former value, viz —middling grey but rather damp 9 to 91 per eent. refraction Sls to 31s 6d, but the unrefracted sold at 30s per cwt. SAGO.—Holders are anxious sellers, and submitted to pi ices is 6d to 2s per cwt under those previously current. At auction 749 boxes were disposed of. Privately there has been little passing, and lower rates are expected to prevail. Although Sago Flour is offered at a consider able reduction, yet few buyers are to be met with, and at auction a small part only of 782 bags found buyers. Ou.s.— For S. al there has been an excellent demand, and a further rise in the value is apparent, whilst on the part of I olders there is firmness, and they have obtained 301 to 311 for pale; at auction 55 tuns were sold. Cod, however, has declined in value, several parcels have been disposed of. Southern cannot be obtained upon lower terms, but the supply is small of all sorts, but the purchases made are of little conse quence ; at public sale 15 tuns realised 3115 s to 311 15s. There has been an improved demand for Sperm, and the parcels sold privately were at improved rates — at public sale 50 tuns fetched 821 to 821 103 for fine quality, and a few lots for export only 801. The purchases made in Linseed Oil have been upon a large scale by the home trade, and a fair demand pre vailed for exportation, whilst a rise in the value is appa rent. Holders of Olive are not disposed to submit to any reduction in value, and the deliveries continue to exceed the arrivals. Cocoa Nut is little required, the supply is on the increase. The operation in Palm are to a limited extent only. The consumption, however, is better than of late, and prices have become moderate. Rapeseed Oil has been dealt in with caution, TALLow.—In consequence of further reduced rates having been accepted for Russian on the spot, buyers were induced to come into the market with more freedom. A good business has been concluded both by soap makers and chandlers, and 44s 6d to 44s 9d are the prices accepted for P.Y. Candle. For forward delivery, however, the operations are of little consequence. Home made is not much required, and as the stock is accumu I lating, there is a desire shown to sell at 46s 6d to 471 net cash. Other kinds are in large supply, and price continue to recede. tbirb laitton SUN OFFICE, Seves o' Clock.

One of those extraordinary events which now and then occur, as if to exemplify the adage of truth being stranger than fiction, has this week taken place at Gravesend, the facts, as communicated to us by a pri vate correspondent being as follows :—On Monday an old " man-of-war's man," the boatswain of a yacht belonging to a gentleman who was about to sail for the Mediterranean, having obtained a brief leave of absence, went up to London in one of the steamers which ply and fro, for the purpose of transactingsome private business. In the boat he met with a young man, a servant to one of the officers at Tilbury Fort, whom he had never seen before, but he did not then take much notice of his fellow-passenger. Upon re turning the next day, however, he found the same man on board, and " Jack" having scraped acquaintance, they entered into conversation. The officer's servant soon became exceedingly communicative, observing, amongst other matters, that he was to start for China in ten days, and that 'he had been to town to see a lawyer respecting some leases of property to which he believed he was heir; but, upon referring to the will, it had been discovered that he was only to inherit the property in the event of an uncle, supposed to be drowned some years since, not coming forward to claim it. The name of a Lord Glanville being mentioned, the sailor observed, " Why, messmate, I have heard and know that name well " Mutual explanations took place, when it turned out that the boatswain was the very missing uncle, and will now inherit the property, worth in all about 8,0001. Notwithstanding this unexpected acquisition to his fortune, the son of Neptune, tar-like,' seems inclined to stick to the ship of which he is now the boatswain, observing that "he'd just as soon sail round the world with his new master."—Bristol Mirror. " Ah, doctor, how is my wife to- day ?" The doctor shook his head, and said. " You must now pre pare for the worst." " What!" said the husband, "is she likely to get over it?" A GOOD REASON.—" Bill,", said Bob, " why is that tree called a weeping willow ?"—" 'Cause one of the sneaking dratted things grew near our school-house, and supplied the master with the sticks that did all the buys' licking." POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Dean was committed for stealing a pocket book containing 11. Bs, and a passport, from the pocket of a poor German cap-maker, named Maks llenoch. He determined to have a good view of Sale's execution, and, with another German, went to the Old Bailey atone in the morning. After spending some time in a coffee-shop, he went to the barrier, and shortly after detected the prisoner in picking his pocket. The book was passed away to confederates, the German only caring to keep fast hold of the thief. This oc curred at lire in the morning, and, being obliged to go to the station to give charge, he lost the front position he had coveted. CLERKEN WELL. William Goodman, an elderly man, was placed at the bar, charged by Mary Goodman, his wife, with a brutal assault, by which she was most seriously in jured. The complainant, whose jaw was broken, and whose flee exhibited a frightful appearance, with considera ble pain and difficulty, deposed that in consequence of the prisoner's violent conduct towards her she was obliged to live apart from him. On the previous day she went with her daughter to the prisoner's residence to ask him for some pecuniary assistance, when he commenced a violent attack upon her, seized her with brutal violence, and having dragged her into the street, struck her a desperate blow on the face, which broke her jaw -bone, knocked her down, and kicked her until she lay insensible on the ground, and he would have killed her had it not been for the inter ference and assistance of her daughter and some pas sengers. 't he daughter, a married woman, gavi confirmatory evidence. The prisoner denied the assault, saying the corn plainsnt fell down and injured herself, and it served her right, as she was drunk at the time. He was fined 51, or two months' imprisonment. George Smith, a pauper, was charged with stealing a suit of the workhouse clothes, the property of th• directors of the poor of St. Pancras parish. It appeared that the prisoner was admitted into the ' workhouse, and supplied with a new suit of work house clothes, with which he absconded, and, after selling them, he returned, and again applied fur re lief, when he was given into custody. He had before committed a similar offence. Mr. TYRWHITT said it was very extraordinary that paupers were being constantly brought to this court by the authorities of St. Pancras parish, charged with this sort of offence, and from no other parish in the district of the court. How could it be accounted for Chadburn, the store-keeper, said that whilst the gate of the stone-yard was open to receive and take away stones, one of the prisoner's own class was placed to watch, and the parties slipped out of the yard. Besides, they were making alterations, and the clothes being quite new, was an inducement to take them away. Mr. TTRWIIITT thought if such inducement existed, it was essential that the authorities should not place one of the prisoner's class at the gate to watch, but somebody else who would show no favour. The prisoner did not deny the charge, and he was committed to the House of Correction with hard labour for six weeks. WESTMINSTER. John Wood was placed at the bar before Mr. Broderip, charged with burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Mrs. Emily Lewis, 27, Grosvenor place, and stealing six 51. notes, a quantity of valuable jewellery, and other articles. The circumstances are briefly these. On Sunday evening Mrs. Lewis went out to visit a friend, leaving the house in charge of Johannah Kelly, her servant. Shortly after the lady had left, the street-door bell was rung violently, and on the girl's answering it, she found a man on the steps, having the appearance of a cabman, who hastily inquired whether she was Mrs. Lewis's servant. On the girl replying in the affirmative, he said that he had been sent from Lowndes-square to tell her that her mistress had been suddenly taken ill, and was in fits, and that she (the servant) was to go to her immediately. The girl hesitated and replied that she could not go, when the man said that she must, that her mistress would never forgive her if she did not, and told her to hurry down and put her bonnet and shawl on, whilst he waited for her. The girl went down stairs to put her things on as desired, and during the time she was so engaged, the man made a great noise, by stamp mg his feet on the door steps, and she thought she heard the sound of footsteps in the passage. She re- turned to the street door in two or three minutes, and ' left the house with the man, taking care to close the street door after her. The man walked at a great pace for some time, during which he said that Mrs. Lewis was very ill; he then suddenly slackened his pace, and at last walked so slowly that she implored him to go faster, as her mistress might be worse, and she was anxious to see her as soon as possible. The man who had, without her having previously observed it, taken her out of the direction of Lowndes-square, pretended that he was out of breath, and in a minute or two afterwards desired her to stop, and he crossed the road. She followed, but he started off at such speed, that, after following for a short distance, she became so exhausted that she was obliged to stop, and the man was soon out of sight. Suspecting that something was wrong, she communicated what had occurred to Thomas Carmoody, 148 B, who came up before she had recovered her breath, and he immedi ately accompanied her to her mistress's house. As they got within sight of it, a gentleman named Delsare, who had been staying there for a short time upon a visit, and who had for some minutes been ineffectually endeavouring to admit himself to the house with the latch key, rang the bell, presuming that the servant had fastened the door. After ringing several times the door was sud denly quietly opened, and the prisoner rushed out of the house, knocking the gentleman down. The latter immediately jumped up and seized the fellow, but he had no idea that he was a thief, until he was soon, however, convinced of his character by seeing him drop a very valuable breast-pin, which satisfied the gentleman that the fellow had been ransacking his carpet bag and pocket-book, which had been two or three hours previously in the house safe. The pri soner, in his struggle to get away, drooped some papers, and threw the gentleman's pocket-book, which contained five 51. notes, some jewellery, and various coins, down in the street. A very handsome bracelet, which had been safe on the lady's toilette table just before the servant was induced to leave the house, was found in his possession, but the gentle man's travelling-bag was found in the house, cut open, and a dove, composed of brilliants, some sove,. reigns,•coins and other articles were missing. Mrs. Lewis had left her house in a carriage, and it is supposed that her orders to the coachman had been overheard by some thieves who bad been prowling about the place and watched her departure. The prisoner made no defence, and was remanded for a week. _ . _ _ BENEVOLENCE.—The annual donation of 101. for the poor-box was received from the Mercers' Com pany. MARY LEBONE. A number of pawnbrokers and other witnesses were from an early hour in attendance at this Court, in consequence of its having been the day appointed for the further examination of a. very respectably attired female, named Isabella Davidson, who was first brought before Mr Broughton, on the sth inst., upon eharges of robbery. The evidence gone into upon the former occasion was to the effect, that in the early part of last No vember the prisoner, upon the representation that she was a married woman, and that her husband was at Bath upon some importantbusiness relative to railway matters, took a ready furnished room, at the rent of 10s. 6d. per week, at Mr. King's Coffee.house, Seymour-street, Euston-square. She remained there until the 10th ult., when she went out early and did not return. Shortly after her departure a gold watch, a gold chain, and a large quantity of silk and other articles were discovered to have been stolen, and information of the robbery was immediately communicated to the police. The prisoner was at length traced, and given into the custody of Sergeant Lennard, 25 S, who produced a number of pawn brokers' duplicates found by him at a house in Lam beth, and it was clearly shown that they had been left there by the prisoner. The ifftwnbrokers now brought forward many arti cles to which the said duplicates referred, and they were identified by Mrs. King as forming a portion of her loss. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Another charge was preferred by Mrs. Edward', Queen-square, Holborn, from whose evidence it ap peared that she was robbed of a table-cloth by the prisoner, who on the 9th of November absconded from an apartment which she had occupied at her residence. Upon her engaging the room she repre sented herself to be the wife of a solicitor, and a gen tleman whom she (Mrs. Edwards) imagined to be the husband, slept in the said apartment every night during the three weeks which the room was occupied. When the prisoner quitted there were two weeks' rent due. Mr. Kendrick 244, Tottenham-court-road, said that the prisoner had worked at his establishment in the millinery department for four months, and that she had obtained from Mrs. Kendrich several pairs of stays, her object being, as alleged by her, that of showing them to some friends, who would most likely be purchasers. She made excuses fr an time to time with respect to her not returning them, and after she had left, without any intimation of her in tention to do so, it was ascertained that she had pawned them. 'The stays were produced and identified, and after some further particulars had been gone into, the case was disposed of by the articles being returned to Mr. Kendrick, upon his paying to the pawnbroker a moiety of the sum for which they were pledged. Upon the first two charges the prisoner, who had nothing to say, was fully committed for trial. James Pickett was charged with the following daring mid-day robbery at the residence of Dr. Drummond, 103, Gloster-place, Portman-square. On the same day (yesterday), at one o clock, the prisoner was observed by the servant of Captain Hen derson, next door, in the area of the house first al luded to. He (prisoner) was questioned as to his business, when he took from his pocket something having the appearance of silver, and hastily placed the same inside of the pantry window, which was partly open, ran up the steps, making his egress in the same way he must have entered, viz., by climbing over the railings. He made off as fast as he could, and, on a cry of " Stop thief" being raised, he was at length captured by Bulham, 180 B. A silver cream ewer was, beyond all doubt, the article which the prisoner had possessed himself of, as before stated. The prisoner, who denied having been in the area at all, was, in order to afford time for further inquiry to be instituted, remanded till next Monday, an opi nion having been expressed that it would probably turn out that he is known to the police on the Surrey side of the water. Win Smith alias King, and George Jones alias Busnell, both of them notorious young thieves, were placed at the bar charged with having been found at an early hour in the morning by 53 S, with pigeons in their possession, supposed to have been stolen. Evidence was given to show that the prisoners were stopped on Haverstock-hill by the fficer alluded to, and that as they gave a very unsatisfactory account of themselves, they were conveyed to the station. house. From their pockets were taken four live pigeons of a curious kind, and upon inquiry being instituted, it was ascertained that they had been stolen from the back part of the premises of Mr. Priest, landlord of the George public house, Hamp stead. They were identified by him (Mr. Priest), who said that he had been robbed of many others. The defence set up by the prisoners was, that seeing the pigeons flying about the road they caught them. In default of paying 155., the value of the birds, and 40s. each for the unlawful possession of them, Smith was committed for two months, and Jones for six weeks to the I-louse of Correction. WORSHIP-STREE T. William Hurst, an interesting-looking boy, only ten years of age, and a stylishly-dressed man named Isaac Simmons, were placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having been concerned, with others, in hustling with intent to rob a lady in the Whitechapel road. Police constable Jenkinson, 53 G, stated that while passing through the above road, at eleven o'clock in the morning, he saw the prisoner Simmons, r ld three other well-dressed men, following a lady, whom they at length so surrounded as to impede her progress, and at the same moment the boy Hurst crept steal thily to her side and dexterously inserted his hand into her pocket. The lady immediately raised a cry of alarm and exclaimed that she had been robbed, when the whole party made off in different directions; but witness succeeded in securing the two prisoners, and brought them back to the lady, who examined her pocket, and discovered that though her money bad been disturbed, she had lost nothing. Notwithstand ing the extreme youth of the younger prisoner, he was well known as one of the most useful instruments in the hands of the male and female members of the swell mob who infested the Whitechapel district, and had only been a few days released from the House of Correction, to which he was committed for three months, by Mr. Arnold, for a similar offence. When called upon for his defence, the boy Hurst, with ass air of well dissembled distress and contrition, attributed his situation to the cruel conduct of his mother, who had turned him out of doors, and forced him to get a living in the best way he could. This statement, however, was positively contra dicted by one of the officers, who proved that he had been connected for a long time past with a notorious gang of thieves, and, in addition to the sentence above specified, he had been convicted of attempted felonies upon two previous occasions. The other prisoner was also known to the police as an accomplished mem ber of the swell mob. Mr. Iligmicr, said that, under these circumstances, however painful it might be to his feelings to consign a child of such tender years to prison, he felt it his duty to commit both the prisoners to the House of Correction for the full term of three months. en ARITY.—The second half of a 51. note, the first half of which had been previously transmitted, was received by the magistrate, through the medium of Sir W. Call and Co., for the poor-box, from " E. P.," with a request that its receipt might be acknowledged in the newspapers. SOUTHWARK. A man named Arthur Pasco, formerly a police constable of the M. division, was brought before Mr. Cottingham on a double charge, the desertion of his wife and three children, and committing a rape on a young girl naned Gains, the daughter of a respectable butcher, residing near the police-court. Mr. Caslake, one of the relieving officers of St. George's parish, Southwark, said that about a month ago the wife of the prisoner came to the workhouse and demanded admission for herself and family. She was at the time far advanced in pregnancy, and had three children in a famishing state. She was taken before the board of guardians, and in answer to questions put by the guardians, she said that her husband was gone into the country in search of em ployment. He (Mr. Caslake) found her statement to be false, as he saw him a few days after lounging about the doers of the police-court, and he ascertained that he had been dismissed from the police. He, therefore, applied for the warrant to apprehend him for deserting his family. The prisoner urged that he could not support his family, being out of employ, but he would as soon as he could obtain employment. Mr. COVTINGHAM—Can you give security to the parish that your family shall not be chargeable to the parish, and can you take them from the work house ? Prisoner—l have friends at Birmingham who will assist me, and I will take my family there if your Worship will discharge me. Mr. COTTINGHANI was about to make some obser vationto him, when Caslake, the relieving officer, remarked that there was a charge of a more serious nature against the prisoner—that of violating the person of a respect able tradesman's daughter, a young girl sixteen years of age. . . Air. Gains, a butcher, formerly carrying on an extensive btuiness near the Police-court, here as cended the witness-box, and said that the prisoner, when in the police force, his usual beat was near his shop. He used to supply him with steaks, give him food and money, and actually treat him as one of his own family One evening he came when all his family were out except his daughter and himself. After some conversation in the shop, the prisoner asked him to go to an adjoining public- house and partake of a glass of grog. He consented, and after they had been in the house a few minutes, the pri soner made an excuse to leave for a short time, but, instead of returning, he went into complainant's house and violated his daughter. Prisoner—Oh, nonsense about that ; it's all false. Mr. Gains said it was quite true his daughter was now in confinement with a child, the result of that man's conduct. Mr. COTTINGHIM said it was a pity he did not make the charge against _him at the time. So long had elapsed, that he thought the charge of violation could not be sustained. He inquired when it was likely his daughter would be able to appear and give her evidence. Mi. Gaines replied, that in about a fortnight's time she would be able to attend. The reason he did not bring the charge against him was, that he did not like the exposure. He also thought that the prisoner was a single man. Mr. COTTINGHAM, after commenting on the con duct of the prisoner, said that for deserting his wife and family, and leaving them chargeable to the parish, he should commit him to the House of Correction for 14 days, and at the expiration of that term of impri sonment the other more serious charge would be investigated. The Magistrate begs to acknowledge the receipt of a 51. Bank of England note from "E. P.," for the poor-box of the Police-court. LAMBETH. Wm Harding, a stiff•built young fellow, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton for final exami • nation, on a charge of stealing a quantity of lead, the property of his master, Mr. Spink, a plumber in South Lambeth. From the evidence of Mr. Collard, the superinten dent of police on the Great Western Railway, it ap pears that the prisioner had been tried at the Clerkenwell Sessions, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, on a charge of stealing a portmanteau from the Paddington terminus. He was subsequently tried for stealing a seaman's chest from the same terminus, and sentenced to four months' incarceration. Since his release he had been in custody for a robbery at the house of Mr. Thorn, the brewer of South Lambeth, and after his discharge Mr. Thorn kindly interested himself on his behalf on account of his sister, who is a servant, and well-conducted young woman in . his family. He ultimately procured him a very good situation with Mr. Spinks, a highly respectable tradesman, but he was not long in his situation when he commenced a system of plunder, and was taken with a quantity of lead belonging to his master in his possession.—He was fully com mitted for trial. Henry Newton and George Mathews, the former a servant to Mr. Pashler, and the latter a butcher out of business, were brought up for final examination on a charge of stealing a.sack of fat, the property of Mr. Pashler. _ _ From the evidence in this case it was evident that the prisoner Newton had plundered his master to a very considerable extent, and that the other prisoner received the plunder. It was stated that Newton, whose honesty had been first doubted, from his declaring that he had nine young women in tow, had been transported for seven years, and that Mathews had also been in custody. Both prisoners were fully committed for trial. WANDSWOR7 H. Mary Ann Damson and Elizabeth Roberts, two women of masculine proportion, who for some years have infested Clapham Common, and been in custody several times for robbing gentlemen, were placed in the dock before Mr. Paynter upon a charge of robbing William Newman, groom to Mr. Pulley, a proctor, living in Nightingale-lane, Clapham. The prosecutor stated that on Sunday night, about half-past eight o'clock, he was crossing Clapham Common, when he met the prisoners. Dawson threw her arms round his neck, and Roberts placed her hand near his right-hand breeches pocket. lie asked them what they wanted; they said nothing, and walked away. lie afterwards missed from his breeches pocket a sovereign and a half in gold, and 3s. 6d. in silver, and some halfpence. He called "Police," when► five or six men, who appeared to be in league with the women, came up, and one of them struck him a blow on the side which knocked him down. lie was afraid of remaining any longer, and went home. Police-constable Tomkins, 119 V, said, in conse quence of some information he received, he appre hended the prisoner between nine and ten o'clock. They denied committing any robbery, but upon searching Roberts he found a sovereign and a half sovereign. Mr. PA/PIER said, after the clear and straightfor ward evidence given by the constable in support of the prosecutor's statement, he must commit the pri soners for trial. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING-, JANUARY ll, 1843. _fib ~ THAMES. William Sheridan, a cowkeeper, of No. 28, Spring street, Shad well, was brought before Mr. Yardley on a warrant, charged with threatening to murder his wife, Emma Sheridan. The complainant, a very respectable young woman, who appeared to be very thin and careworn, stated that on Monday last her husband mislaid his gloves, and he accused her of concealing them, and said he would break everything in the house. She searched in all directions for them, but her husband would not be pacified, and, after striking her in the back, kicking her out of doors several times, and otherwise ill-using her, he threatened to murder her. She then sought refuge in the house of her sister, by whose advice she purchased a new pair of gloves for her husband, who went to a ball with a female relative, an Irish woman, who was formerly his housekeeper, and her brother, and did not re' urn till a late hour, when he commenced ill-using her again, and made use of the mo .; dreadful threats towards her. On Tuesday night her husband went to a raffle with his cousin, and did not return home till three o'clock the next morning. A few minutes after he had get into his bed his cousin entered with a light, and, after making use of a vile expression, laid hold of the complainant's night-cap, and after tearing it off, seized her by the hair of the head, which she tore out by the roots, and beat and scratched her in a most savage manner, without any interference on the part of her husband , who was lying by her side. The cousin then seized a chair, and was about to strike her with it, when she was prevented by the entrance of her (the cousin's) sister, and was with difficulty re moved from the room. In the morning, when she arose, her husband again kicked her and beat her, and threatened that he would murder her on his return. She was so terrified by his threats, and had received so much ill-usage from him, that she took the oppor tunity of his absence a few hours afterwards, to run away from her home, and had since been living with her sister. The complainant then went over an in ventory of her husband's e ff ects, and said she had been married to him 15 months, and brought him a house full of furniture, and 601. in money—that he was possessed of three cows, six pigs, a goat, a mare, and a cart, and that he had done everything in his power to render her miserable, break her heart, and drive her from her home, that he might introduce into his house his Irish counsin, who lived with him as his house keeper before complainant was married to him. Among other acts of brutality he had frequently held knives to her throat, and horsewhipped her in bed. The sister of the complainant stated that Mrs. Sheridan had frequently come to her house for safety, with bruises on her face, and that her person was now covered with marks and discolours.tions caused by the defendant's brutal treatment: The defendant, in reply to the chsrge, said his wife was jealous of his cousin, who ha?been his house keeper before his marriage, and that his wife had slandered her, arid that she came on Wednesday morning to ask for an explanation, and attempted to strike his wife. He caught the blow on his eye in defending her. He denied in the most positive manner that he had ever ill-used his wife, and said the goods she had brought him were still in the house, and that he had - laid out M. in cows and pigs. Bridget Hall, a cousin of the defendant' s , and sister of the woman who appeared to have made all the strife, was then called, and she objected to take the oath. Sheridan—Take hold of the book and swear for me. The young woman was then sworn, and said she had been two months only from Ireland, and was servant to Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan. She never saw her cousin raise his hand to strike his wife, or heard him make use of any threats; but had heard him speak very harshly to her. She heard them disputing about the gloves which her mistress took out of her master's pocket. The witness further stated that her sister came late on Tuesday night to her master's bedside, to inquire about her wages.— (Laughter.) Mr. YARDLEY was not surprised that such a state silent should be received with a smile of incredulity, and he was afraid the defendant had married the victim of his brutality for the money and property she brought him. The parties were ill matched, and he would advise Sheridan to allow his wife a separate maintenance. Mr , . Sheridan said she could not live with such a brutal tyrant again, and would be satisfied with os. per week. Mr. YARDLEY said that was little enough. Sheridan said he could not afford so much. Mr. YARDLEY said if the defendant did not properly maintain his wife, and the parish officers lodged a complaint against him, he would compelled him to support her in a proper manner or commit him to prison. The health of the wife was impaired by her husband's brutality, and he had not heard of a case of such cruelty and profligacy for some time. Ile called upon Sheridan to find hail, himself in 401. and two sureties of 201., to keep the peace towards his wife for the next six months. 2lfary Wall, the cousin, was next charged with assaulting Mrs. Sheridan while she was in bed, on Wednesday morning. Mr. YARDLEY fined her 405., and said the conduct of the defendant and her relative had been most out rageous. STATE OF TRADE. MANCIISSTER.—There is little, if any, change in the market since Tuesday last. Perhaps, upon the whole, less business has been done, owing to an at tempt on the part of spinners and manufacturers to obtain an advance on their production commensurate with the recent advance in the price of the raw mate rial at Liverpool. Buyers, however, and especially buyers of yarn, refuse to accede to these demands; and the consequence is, that spinners are in a worse position than they were two or three weeks ago. We are quite satisfied, that, if the advance should go on, it will not only prevent any further extension, but will very soon cause a diminution in the present hours of labour. We are glad to state that a circular was issued on Wednesday, announcing that a second instalment of five shillings in the pound, on the debts of Messrs. Scholes and Co., bankers of this town, who were compelled to suspend payment about the Ist of No vember last, is now payable to the creditors at the banking house in Norfolk-street. During the last three days a rather gloomy feeling has prevailed here, in consequence of rumours in the first place, and positive statements afterwards, of numerous and extensive failures at Glasgow. These, we are sorry to say, have been to some extent con• firmed by later accounts. The failures in question are, we believe, six or seven in number, the most im portant of which is that of Messrs. John Anderson and Co., a house in the South American trade, whose liabilities are said to amount to 200,000/. The failure is ascribed principally to the suspension of Cotes worth and Co., of Lcndon, with whom Anderson ;and Co. had large transactions. Another failure is that of :Messrs. Gilmour and Kerr, in the Canadian trade, whose engagements were stated at 80,0001., which, however, we are inclined to consider an exaggera tion. he losses of the house are ascribed to un fortunate railway speculations. The other failures are all of inferior importance, and we are not aware that any of them will exercise any ma terial influence upon the trade of Manchester. It is obvious from these and other events of the same kind, either that the trade of Glasgow is itself in an ex ceedingly unsound condition, or that the boasted ad vantages of the Scotch system of banking and cur rency are dearly purchased by some evils peculiar to that system. In all periods of monetary pressure the trade and commerce of Glasgow suffer much more than those of Manchester. The recent failures at Frankfort continue to attract much attention in commercial circles, on account of their apprehended recoil upon Paris, Vienna, and other cities on the Continent, where extensive ex change operations with Frankfort are carried on. We, therefore, give some further particulars respect ! log these failures, derived from a recent letter from Frankfort to a mercantile house in this town :—lt appears that Messrs 1)e Heber and Co. (brothers) inherited from their father a very considerable for tune, with which they carried on the business of bankers at Frankfort, and would most probably have been successful, if they had not fallen into the error which has ruined so many firms in England—namely, that of investing their funds in, and staking their credit to support, large manufac turing establishments. A few s ears ago they were mainly instrumental in establishing, in shares, three of these establishments—namely, a large cotton spinning and manufacturing concern, a machine shop, on a very large scale, and a sugar refinery. The scale on which business was carried on by these establishments may be gathered from the fact that, collectively, they employed from seven to twelve thousand persons. Of course they required a very large floating capital ; and, as the companies themselves did not possess it, Messrs. De Haber and Co. raised it by drawing accommodation bills on three other banking houses at Frankfort. For a time this expedient answered the purpose ; but, at length, the pressure for money rendered their hills unnego tiable ; and then the manufacturing companies, Messrs. De Ilaber and Co., and two of the three accepting houses, came down together ; the third house being saved by the prompt interposition cf the Rothschilds and Montefiores. Great efforts were made to prop up the whole, and meetings of the parties interested, and their friends, were held for eight days consecutively ; bat the amount required for the purpose was found to be so large, and money at the time so scarce, that the catastrophe could not be averted. It is hoped, however, in some quarters, that, as all the manufacturing establishments are at or near Carlsruhe, and as a large proportion of the public functionaries of the Baden Government have invested their savings in them, that Government may be induced, for the sake of its servants and subjects, to give such assistance as may enable the companies to carry on their business. The facts connected with these establishments may, perhaps, serve, in some degree, to explain the efforts' made by the Baden Government to obtain an increase in the Zollverein duties. The public functionaries of that state, hav ing invested their money in manufacturing establish ments which could not subsist without artificial sup• port, might very naturally struggle to keep their own heads above water. The London newspapers have alluded to a report from St. Petersburgh, to the effect that it was in con templation by the Russian Government to make an alteration in the duties on sugar, and also to lay a tax on the import of raw cotton, which is at present free. We have seen a letter of very recent date from the Russian capital, in which the writer says (in ad dition to the above statements), that there are strong rumours of an intended diminution of the present enormous duty (equal to 7d: per lb.) on cotton twist. Whether there is any real foundation for these last named rumours, we may reasonably doubt—at least, so far as the present time is concerned ; but the im position of a duty of a rouble per podd (a fraction over ld. per lb.) on raw cotton, will, to that extent, diminish the protection now enjoyed by the Russian spinners, and may prove a commencement of that gradual relaxation of the tariff, which is known to be favourably regarded by some of the Russian Minis ters, if not by the Emperor himself. The following particulars of the iron trade of Scot land have been furnished to us by Mr. Daunt, metal broker of this town : " The reports from the various quarters connected with the Scotch pig iron trade announce a very con siderable decrease in the amount of the stock beld at the cke,e of this year, in comparison with tha of the two preceding years, at the like period. This has been occasioned, partly by the great increase of the export trade, and partly by the strike among the miners and colliers during a portion of the current year, which has the effect of putting many furnaces out of blast, thus proportionately reducing the quantum of produce. This circumstance, in a great measure, falsified the expectations of a vast increase of stock, that the erection of new works during that period had originated. The ship ments of 1446 and 1847, from the Clyde and Port Dundas, were nearly equal in amount, being, in the former year, 312,000 tons, in the latter 312,834 tons. The estimated stock in December, 1847, was 80,000 tons, of which quantity about 26,000 tons is supposed to be in the hands of the makers, against 64,000 tons last year, and it is presumed their con tracts on hand far exceed that quantity; much of the make of 1848, to the extent of from 20,000 to 30,000 tons, being already contracted for for spring delivery, great reluctance is manifested to enter into fresh en gagemtuts for further delivery at that period. " The total number of furnaces amounts to Ile 1 of which there were in blast, in 1847, only 89; out of blast, 41; total, 130. In 1845, there were in blast 94; and in 1846 there were 97. " The amount of stocks on hand on the 31st of December, 1846, was 144,000 t ons ; th a s t oc k i n store and makers' hands, 31st December, 1847, 80,000 tons ; decrease of stock at the close of 1847, as compared with 1846, 64,000 tons. " Tii - e price for mixed numbers, equal proportions, on the 31st of December, 1843, 765. per ton ; on the 31st of December, 1846, 755. per ton ; on the 81st of December, 1847, 465. 6d. per ton, net cash, free on board at Glasgow."—Manchester Guardian of Saturday. BRADFORD.—WooI----There is no additional activity among the spinners. The disposition to buy does not improve, the prices sought acting as a barrier, par ticularly in full-bred bright haired wools. The sale of mils and brokes is very similar to that of several weeks past. The year has opened with a fair demand for yarns, which will prevent any accumulation of stock ; but the prices are far too low to admit of meeting the cost of production. While this gloomy state of things continues, there is no room for hope of any increased activity in the manufactories. The attendance of merchants at our piece market is a full average one, and a fair quantity of business is doing. There are inquiries by the home houses for new styles for spring ; and the shippers are looking out for cheap lots in silk stripes, and other fancy goods.— Bradford Observer. .NI;TTINGIIAII.—We may, this week, safely report an improvement in our lace market. The demand throughout has been of a varied, and, therefore, of a more satisfactory character than if it had been con fined to one or two leading articles. Goods combining novelty with good taste in their design have sold readily, and we have little doubt will continue to sell in increasing demand, if these requisites of a fancy trade be kept constantly in view by manufacturers. Our hosiery markets are gradually improving in most departments ; and though, for the present, from a variety of causes, this will be but slowly, it is gra tifying to notice, that even with the present improve ment the workme ere beginning to feel the beneficial effects; there is no doubt every week will witness an increase in the amount of work given out, and-prin cipally in those branches which have hitherto been the most depressed. The yarn market, if any change, is rather firmer; most of the spinners having made rather extensive sales, are getting low in good useful yarns, for which there is now a very brisk demand, amounting almost to a scarcity in some numbers.— Nottingham Mercury. LBICESTER.—There is no movement in oar market at present, the wholesale houses being engaged in balancing up their accounts ; some manufacturers have been giving out more work for their unemployed frames, but are proceeding with the utmost caution. A. fair spring trade for cotton goods is expected, but the uncertainty of the cotton market prevents manufacturers laying in more yarn than they re quire from week to week. Wurated spinners are proceeding with the utmost caution. In wools, there is no variation in price, and but little doing.—Leicester Journal. BLACKEURN.—The recent heavy failures in London and Glasgow have deepened the gloom which it was hoped had begun to clear away, and a decided retro gression was experienced in our yarn market on Wednesday. Notwithstanding the recent advance in the value of the raw material, the price of yarns was unimproved, and if changed was rather in favour of the buyer than otherwise.—Blackburn Standard. HATLE.—We regret to state that this place hitherto so busy and prosperous, is suffering severely from the general calamity. A large number of workmen have been discharged or received notice to leave, there is diminished work for the others, with neces sarily reduced earnings ; while, to add to our suffer ing, many mechanics of this place who have been working elsewhere, are returned, having been dis charged from their respective factories, some of which have been closed entirely. Our poor rates have been doubled in the last nine months, and are expected to be still higher.—Cornwall Gazette. REDUCTION OF WAGES.—A reduction of 25 per cent. has been effected in the wages of many of the operatives employed at the Pontypool Iron Works. This unavoidable proceeding is borne with much patience and submission by those who have the mis fortune to 1)3 the sufferers.—Monmouthshire Merlin. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, J. 10.
