LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Dec.l. (Sittings st Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice DEN. MAN and a Common Jury.) HANKINSON AND ANOTHER V. ALCOCK. This was an action of debt, brought by the executors of Mr. Morgan, deceased, to recover the sum of 821., received by the defendant to the use of the deceased. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. HUMFREY, who, with Mr. Bovu.L, appeared for the plaintiffs, said the action was brought by the execu tors of Mr. Morgan, deceased, to recover the sum of 821., rind& these circumstances :—The deceased was an in valid; about sixty-nine years of age, living with his sister and her husband, Mr. Babbitt, in Dorchester-place, Blandford-street. On the 25th of October, 1847, the defendant called upon the deceased, and was left alone with him for some time ; and on the afternoon of the same day the deceased having been taken with a fit, the defendant and his brother were sent for. They came immediately, and assisted him up stairs to bed, where, upon undressing him as usual, Mrs. Rabbett discovered that two heavy purses which were,in Mr. Morgan's trousers:pockets in the morning were gone. She immediately made inquiry for them, but the defen dant said nothing for a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes; but at last, on Mrs. Rabbett saying she would send for a policeman, John Alcock said that his brother, the defendant, had got a purse which Mr. Morgan had given him. Mrs. Rabbett inquired. " What for?" To which he replied, "To take care of." A policeman was then sent for, but the defendant having expressed him self ready to give up the money, Mr. Rabbett then went with the policeman to John Alcock's house, where a bag was produced containing the sum of 821. in notes and gold. The defendant then refused to give it up till claimed, as he said, by proper authority. In con sequence the plaintiffs had been compelled to bring this action. Me. and Mis. Rabbett, and also the policeman, were called in support of the plaintiffs' case. Mrs. Rabbett admitted that the defendant had been an acquaintance of the deceased for upwards of thirty years, and that he was always received by him as a friend; but she de ni ed t h at when the deceased was asked what he had done with his money, he had said, " It's all right." Mr. or M al o i r fi a s renwiaas very rich, and hail provided h an dsome y f flops, and had made his sister, Mrs. Rabbett, his resi cibary legatee. Mr. Sergeant Swam, who, with another Learned Gen. tleman, appeared for the defendant, called his brother, John Alcock, who said—"l am the brother of th e d e . fendant, living on my private property. I k new M r. Morgan for many years, and during the latter p ar t o f hi s life I collected his rents. On the 25th of October, my brother called upon me at about two o'clock in the afternoon. He then went to Mr. Morgan's, and returned at 5 o'clock. He b roug h t a purse with him, and l i d it was a present which Mr. Morgan had made to him. We counted the money, and found if amounted to 811. We then put the purse into a bag, and sealed it up. In the evening a egrvaat came to say that Mr. Morgan had fallen eff the eeija is a fit. We went there immediately, and after some time we took him up stairs and laid him on the bed. Mrs. Rabbett held his trousers up, and asked Mr. Morgan what he bad done with his money. He made no ans leer. I then said he had given my brother a purse? Mrs. Rabbett asked what business he had to give my brother the purse? Mr. Morgan said it was all right. Mr. Morgan was conscious of what was passing. We all shook hands with him. On coming down stairs we were detained till the policeman came. The de ceaerd and my brother were always on good terms. My brother never said that he would give up the purse. The bag containing the purse was produced at my house, but my brother retused to give it up. He said it was a present to him, and ho would keep it." lIIIMFREY having replied, Lord DENMAN summed up the case to the jury, and said the question for them to decide was, whether the megby had been given to the defendant by the deceased, or Wggther it had been obtained under circumstances of a suspicions character? The jury, after cotisidering for a few minutes, gave a verdict for the defendant, and, in answer to a question from his Lordship, said they were of opinion that the money had been given to the defendant by the deceased . Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 1. (Sitting at Nisi Prins, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.) 'WILLIAMS V. ROWE. In this case Mr. Sergeant C. Jones and Mr. Udall ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles for the derendant. This was an action of trespass for an assault. It ap peared, on behalf of the plaintiff, that on the evening of the 3d of October last the plaintiff, who is a cowkeeper, and a friend went into the house of the defendant, the Britannia public-house at Chelsea, of which the de fendant is the landlord, and while drinking some gin and-water at the bar and standing in the passage smok irrg the defendant struck the pipe out of the plaintiff's mouth, saying he would have no smoking there, cut and bruised his mouth, and eventually sent for a policeman to take him into custody, by whom he was walked out of the house. Th e is_jraa the case for the plaintiff. l'arie defendant it was shown that the plaintiff, whea he entered the ;defendant's house, appeared to have been in some row, having on a torn coat and blouse ; that he and his friend persisted in smoking at the bar window, and puffing tobacco-smoke in the faces of the customers coming for supper beer ; that the plaintiff refused either to go into a room, or walk out, Until he had finished his gin-and-water, which the pot boy described as " two-penn'orth, and a little drop in it,"l ion which the landlord said he would not have hie c, • ers annoyed, and struck the bowl off the plaintiff's pipe, ',to prevent his smoking. The plaintiff thereupon used violent language, and a policeman was sent for to put him oat ; that he afterwards went to another public-house, where he quarrelled with the landlord, and received the blow which cut his lip. This vas the defendant's case. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—One Itrthing damages. Mere was no other case warranting a report. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 1. (Sittings in Banco after Term.) JUDGMENT.—BURNSEDE V. DAYRELL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as the allottee of scrip in an abortive railway schemed to reco ver the money paid by him as a deposit, it being con tended by him, that the consideration having failed on which the money had been paid by him, he was entitled to recover it from the defendant as a member of the com mittee of the scheme in question. This claim was put forward on the authority of the well-known case of " Waletab v. SpDttiswoode;" but it appeared that the defendant in the present case had only attended the committee on one occasion, having not taken any other part in the management of the affairs of the company. The COURT now said that this distinction between the two cases was such as to warrant them in holding that the plaintiff could not recover. The rule, therefore, to enter a verdict for the plaintiff must be discharged. Judgment accordingly. ADMIRALTY COURT, Dec 1. THE HARVEY.-SALVAGE. In this case the vessel had been discovered on the Matlin Sands, on the 13th of January, and was got off by the assistance of two smacks and two yawls, con taining fifteen men. Zhe owners tendered 701. for the service, which was reft/sed. The value of the property was 1,3501. Dr. LUSITINGTON, without entering into the facts, allotted 1202 THE PRINCESS ALICE.- SALVAGE. This was a suit to recover a salvage remuneration for services rendered by the steam-boat Conquest, of Stockton- on-Tees, to the schooner Princess Alice, Lions Hamburgh, with a cargo of wheat, which had arrived off the mouth of the Tees on the 24th of April last, and wanted (as alleged on her part) only a Pilot, whereas, on the part of the steam boat it was alleged that she bad got entangled amongst the sands, and was in imminent danger, from which she had been rescued by the exertions of the salvors,' at great risk to themselves. The owners of the Princess Alice, admit. ting that services had been rendered to their ship, con tended that they amounted to no more than pilotage (the master deposing in his affidavit that he had been d ecoyed —meaning, apparently, misled—into danger by the signals of the steam-boat), and they had paid 4l Is., the sum due for pilotage, into court. The conflicting statements of the parties defy all attempt to reduce them into a consiatent narrative ; not only were the affidavits, which were very numerous, more than usually contradic tory, but the chart brought in by each party did not correspond with the other, and both disagreed with the Admiralty chart. In short, almost every point in dis pute, except the points of the compass. Jenner and Dr. Bayfo r d were heard for the sal 'r•_ i d Dr. Addams fi n i s h ed his ar gument for th e owners at a late hour, when The COURT deferred bearing Dr. Robinson until next court ay. CENTRAL 11EIV CO MI CRIMINAL COURT. ) UR A T. (Before the RECORDER.) Maria- Carlota Alvez Cabral, aged 50, married, a n d Ma r ia. Rosa, 35, also married, were indicted for stealing a ,8r00c11,41 divers articles of linen, valued at 2/., the proper of Hester Pitman, in her dwelling-house. !fir-)3odkin proseculed, and Mr. ,Parnell defended both Bonilla. ice V elder pri s o ner , who is a singular, masculine-look -11" ng woma n , is a rarLguese Countess in her own right, and the younger prisoner was her servant. The Learned COUNSEL having stated the case to the jary, called Hester Pitman, the prosecutrix, who stated that she Spanish keeps a Portugnese and and her boarding-house in were in Finsbury-square. Th e prisoner boarders in the house, and from watch i whichspicions sh e en tertained that a valuabl e gold lost, had been purloined by e i t h er the el der prisoner Or hee'servant, she obtained theat p t o e l n i ds a c tid e of Ser geant Brannan of the G division of 2d of last month, he w ith her , went up to the bedroom the of the servant, and hav in g , throu g h t he medium of a gen 14 v ing is the house, made her acquainted with the nature of thf... charge, proceeded to search the room, where they found some towels hidden between the bed sewed up in an apron, and also a articles of a similar nature. They the bedroom of the Countess, and found several towels wrapped round skin, and also several pieces of soap lm and under her armpits. The ser 1. about to conceal something in her and, and found it to contain a silver (prosecutrix) had lost some month() eked whether any of the property , had been traced to have been pawned or otherwise made away with ? The prosecutrix said, No. The towels were part of those she used in her boarding-house. In cross-examination by Mr. PARNELL, the prosecu trix stated that the prisoner and her husban boarded in the house and paid a guinea a-day. All ,he towels faund were marked, and there had been no attempt to obliterate the marks. Sergeant Brannan produced the property, which con sisted of towels and linen of the ordinary household de scription. The RECORDER said, it seemed to him more like light headedness thaa larceny on the part of the elder pri soner. He then recalled the prosecutrix, who stated that the elder prisoner came to her establishment in April, and in May she was married to a Portuguese gentleman. She was not aware of her being insane, but previously to her marriage there was a consultation of five physi cians to inquire into the state of her mind, and she had heard of prisoner's confinement in her own country, but she did not know what for. Mr. BODKIN said, it did seem to him a case of eccen tricity. The RECORDER said it struck him as being anything but a larceny; and it was rather hard to charge a per son with felony for having a few more things in use than the regulations of the house permitted. He then directed an Acquittal. Mr. BODKIN, in preferring the other charge, said it was only fair to the prosecutrix to state that the charges would not have been preferred for the trivial articles of a domestic character, but finding the Countess in pos session of a brooch which had been lost, and which she (the Countess) had been spoken to about, they had rea son to suspect she had stolen the watch, which, how ever, had not been traced. Th e watc h was worth 27/ had d t a be c e a n se sta o t f ed sus o p f ic h io er n, ; jury which, fiad e a c ti ce d n t t r h i e c ty j u , s h t e i a ll rd it wh w a a t s he was bound to say, had been borne out, and would take that into their consideration. The • girl had only acted as her servant. An Acquittal was taken upon the other indictment and e discharged from RECORD ER or d ere d the prisoners to b 9 from custody. Susannah Cook, spinster, 19, and Thomas Maiers, 21, stationer, were • • indicted for stealing 120 pictures, valued at 701., the property of Richard Gale, the master of Cook, and Joseph Rowland was indicted for receiving the same. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted; Mr. Ballantine defended Rowland, and Mr. O'Brien Cook. The facts of the case lay in a very narrow compass, though the case occupied some hours The prosecutor is a picture dealer in High Holborn, and, whilst going along St. Mary-axe, he saw some of his pictures exposed for sale in a shop kept by Rowland. Upon instituting inquiries, it turned out that he had bought them of Maiers, who was paying his addresses to Cook. Abun dant evidence was adduced to prove that Maiers had instigated the girl to rob her master, and used to go to the house to carry off the property before the family were up. The RECORDER said the case was one of suspicion against Rowland, but not enough for a jury. The other two prisoners were then found Guilty; and Maiers, having been before convicted, was transported for ten years; and the woman ordered to imprisoned for one year, without hard labour, in the "Westminster Bridewell. Henry Bramwell, 29, surgeon, was indicted for felo niously marrying Elizabeth Tinley, his wife being alive. The;prosecution had been instituted by the City autho rities, and Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie, with whom was Mr. Clarkson, appeared to support it. Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner. Mr. RYLAND having opened the case, Mr. BALLANTINE said, that having consulted with his client, he wished to retract his plea and plead guilty. The RECORDER wished the prisoner to understand, that his pleading guilty would not make any difference in the sentence, and he did not see how he could retract his plea now the case had commenced. After some discussion it was decided that the case should be proved. Evidence was then given of the prisoner's marriage by license at the Prince's-street Chapel, Devonport, on the 18th of August, 1837, to Rebecca Cope, and on the 25th of March, 1843, at Barnstaple, to Elizabeth Tinley. A witness having been called who proved having seen his wife at Liskeard, Cornwall, a few days ago, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The second wife, who was in court (and in such a dreadful state of mental suffering that she was com pelled to be brought in on a chair), said that the pri soner lived with her three months after his marriage, and had nearly ever since been at sea. She had seen him when at home, and he had sent her money when away. Since their marriage he had sold her furniture, plate, and all she possessed. Two other indictments (one for marrying Emma Georgina Rose, at Calcutta, on the 13th October, 1847, and another for marrying Hannah Amelia Bland, in September last, at Liverpool), he pleaded Guilty to. The RECORDER then said that upon the first indict ment he should sentence him to seven years' transporta tion, and added, that it was not under ordinary circum stances that the Court was called upon to pass sentence upon a second indictment. There was no crime that caused so much misery, or so tended to the derange ment of society, as the crime of bigamy, and he did fear that the lenity with which such offences had been visited had contributed to their very frequent recurrence and had failed to deter others from committing them. The facts had disclosed a case of the basest nature ; one properly described by the counsel as resulting from avarice and passion. He should avail himself of the dis cretion the Act allowed, and sentence the prisoner to seven years' transportation upon the second indictment —the second sentence to commence at the termination of the first. Jantes"Miller, aged 34, an engineer was indicted for stealing 5501 b. of lead and a leaden cistern, valued at 61., the property of Harry Nicholls and another. Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prosecution, said that he had looked over the case, and found he could not sustain the indictment. The prisoner was thereupon ordered to be discharged . THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. BULLOCK.) Frances Bar;ett, a very respectable-looking young woman, surrendered to take her trial on a charge of stealing a duplicate, by which she obtained possession of a dress belonging to Frances Lee. Mr. Huddlestone defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner and prosecutrix resided together, and that the latter, having pledged a dress, placed the duplicate in a box, whence she missed it, and, going on the succeeding day to the pawnbroker's, she found it had been redeemed by a person who wore a bonnet and shawl somewhat similar to those possessed by the prisoner. Upon this, prosecutrix went to the for tune-teller's, who, having performed some magic conju rations, told her that whoever had the dress would sell it for more than it was worth. Upon this the prosecu trix communicated her suspicions, when, some further magic spells having been completed, it was decided that the prisoner was the guilty party, and she was accord ingly requested to accompany the prosecutrix to the pawnbroker's, which she did, and the pawnbroker's as sistant having been asked by the prosecutrix whether the prisoner was not the person who had redeemed the gown said she was, and when he heard of the opinion pro nounced by the magic oracle, he became so strongly im pressed in his belief as to induce the magistrate to commit her for trial. His evidence this day was so contradictory and pre varicating, that the jury discredited it altogether, and ac quitted the girl, stating that she left the court without a stain upon her character. William Sale, aged 19, a carman, was indicted for stealing a pair of reins, valued at 65., the property of IVilliam Winter. The case was a very clear one, and the jury found him Guilty. From inquiries instituted by the Court, it appeared that the prisoner formed a portion of a desperate gang infesting the Surrey side of the water, and is brother of the convict of the same name who was executed some time back for the murder of Mr. Bellehambers, at We3t minster. The COURT sentenced him to seven years' transporta tion. John IPPNeiI, aged 26, a printer, was indicted for feloniously intermarrying with Mary ElizAbeth Bonnet, his wife being then alive. The facts proved in evidence were these:—On the 4th of August, 1839, the prisoner married his wife at St. Pancras Church, and on the 13th of November, in the present year, he married the second wife, at Blooms bury. Information having been received of the fact, he was apprehended before he could get home with his new bride. The prisoner, in his defence, went into a long story, and said that he lived happily enough with his first wife until he had occasion to suspect her fi3elity. She, however, persuaded him he was in error, and all went on smoothly until one day he brought home a friend with whom he had been having some drink. After they had been in the room some time he fell asleep on the sofa, and when he awoke he found his friend in bed with his wife. His wife denied there had been anything criminal, but when he told her he had only been feigning sleep for the pur pose of watching her, she admitted her guilt upon that as well as previous occasions. Upon that they agreed to part, and he therefore thought he was at liberty to marry again; besides, his second wife was tome relative to his first, and was aware of his beint , p married man. The second wife, who was present, s a id i n a l ou d t one, Mr. Bnixocic. said, " That's fal se r ewraathneo harm that was no excuse if she did The prisoner said, there know it. done, as he had been taken a short time aft Mr. BULLOCK —That makes no differ ence. The prisoner again asserted there ence. d been no harm done to the second wife. The Learned COMMISSIONER then sentenced him to eight months imprisonment and hard labour. The other cases heard during the day in this coutt did not possess any features of public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-S7REET. Mr. Barr, a Licensed Victualler, was charged with permitting racing sweeps in his house. Mr. Child, of the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, app eare d f o r the defendant. Police -constable 58 F deposed that he went up to a room on the second floor of the defendant's house, on Wednesday, the 15th ult., and saw a number of persons round the table. One of them had a bag containing bone tickets, which were numbered, and the others were drawing them out, previously putting a shilling upon the table. One p erson who drew the h i g h es t number then took up the m oney upon the table. T h at wa s re peated several times in w i tness ' s presence. Th ere w ere about 12 persons there, and they continued wslkiNg. in Ad out. A Mr. Knight sat at the table with a b - Ook, in which he entered the names of the parties winning the I,g u k es , &c. The defendant was not present. Knight was there all the time, and occasionally staked money himself. After this there were two ma chines, used for " racing sweeps," brought into the room, when the defendant wrote upon some larger tickets, and placed them in the ma , chines, which were turned round by means of a handle. Two men then drew tickets from each box, previously depositing money upon the table. Seven or eight of the company had paid a shilling each. When the tickets • were drawn in this way, Knight called out the name of a . " horse." Witness distinctly heard him call out " Cha rity," and other horses' names. When the names were • pronounced some one of the party took up the stakes. • This continued for about three-quarters of an hour, and t the machines were then taken away, and the bag brought , back again. The first game was renewed in the same , way as before, but with heavier stakes, half-a-crown each being laid down. The parties afterwards had up refreshments and cigars, which were not paid for. They were ordered of the waiter in the usual manner. Knight occasionally asked the waiter the amount of what had been brought up. The bags were placed in a drawer and Knight took the book into the bar after the company had broken up. It was about half-past twelve o'clock when witness left. On the following night witness again visited the room, and found precisely the same things going on. Mr. Child submitted that the proceedings of any other night would be irrelevant to the present charge. Mr. JARDINE would receive the testimony, not with the view to a separate conviction, but only as tending to confirm the statements as to the landlord's knowledge of the transactions. Witness continued to state that he went to the house on two occasions afterwards, and heard a conversation among the party as to the intention of the police to put down " racing sweeps." He believed he was suspected by them, and so did not remain. He saw both the land lord and Mr. Knight on these occasions. The landlord was down stairs. Cross-examined by Mr. Child—Witness was not ac companied by any one else when he visited the house. Mr. Child submitted to the Court that there had been no evidence to fix the defendant with a personal know ledge of the transactions referred to by the constable; and, in fact, owing to a domestic calamity (the death of his father) he was not there at the time. He had made up his mind, since the decision of the City case, not to suffer any more sweeps in his house, although he had undouetedly sanctioned the " winding-up" of such of them as were pending at the time their illegality was determined. He had no knowledge whatever of the drawing with the bag. He assured the Court that the defendant had pledged himself since not to allow the renewal Of those practices in the house, which was a highly respectable establishment. The officers admitted the respectability of the defen dant's house. Mr. JARDINE could not allow himself to be a party to any compromise. As the case stood before him there was ample evidence that " gaming" was going on to a great extent among a dozen or fifteen people, who were served with refreshments ; and the landlord, who was in the lower part of the house, should have made it his busi ness to acquaint himself with what was going on. Under these circumstances, he should inflict the penalty of 51., with costs. Hi s Worship said that the second charge against the defendant might be withdrawn. The fine was accordingly paid. CLERKENWELL. A youth, 16 years of age, named North, was placed at the bar charged with having committed a capital assault upon Mary North, a fine little girl, eight years of age. Evidence having been given, The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and was fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. Mr. BURRELL gave judgment in an adjourned case under the " Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Act," in which Mr. W. Winks, of Queen's-road East, Chelsea, was complained of by the authorities of St. Luke's, Chelsea. Fram the evidence given in support of the complaint, it appeared that defendant was proprietor of a house in the New-road, which was let out in separate tenements. In the course of the inspection of this place, four 'feet of stagnant putrescent water were found in the basement of, the house, and in the rear a quantity of soil rising to' the level of the yard, the whole emitting the most offensive smell that could be imagined. There were three families in the house, comprising the number of twenty-six inmates ; four of the children in the house had lately had the scarlet fever, but were now getting better. The defendant's answer to the charge was, that his drain passed into a sewer at the back, and as the sewer had for some time past become choked up, he could not, in any way, be considered to blame. He had resorted to every expedient in his power, and at great expense, to prevent the offensive matters soaking through into the basement of his premises, but without effect. He had had his drain cleansed, but had no power to cleanse the sewer, the state of which, he declared, gave rise to the present complaint. He had written to the Commis. sioners of Sewers on the subject, who, in reply, stated that the matter should be inquired into. Mr. Easdale, surveyor of St. Luke's, Chelsea, said there was a sewer in front, into which defendant was bound to make his drain, by the existing law. Defendant intimated that it was very unreasonable to ask him to run a drain into the sewer to carry off the accumulation of offensive matter from other premises; and further contended that it would be perfectly useless, as, from the situation of his basement, it would be con• actually running into it. Mr. Easdale thought if he were to try the experiment, he would not be annoyed by any soaking from other premises, as the drain into the sewer in front would carry all away. f - Defendant repeated his firm conviction that such would not be the case, and called a witness, who stated that every means had been resorted to for the purpose of keeping the drain water and other matter out, but it stlll came in from under the foundation. The pit of the sewer was four inches above the floor of the kitchen, and the sewer was full up to the crown. Mr. BURRELL, who had taken time to give his deci sion, said he had carefully perused the Act of Parlia ment, and was satisfied that he could not look to any remote cause of the nuisance, but only to the owner or oecupier of the premises where the nuisance was found to exist. The evidence was clear, and the facts undis puted, that there was a nuisance existing on defendant's premises. The law was evidently intended to be peremptory, on account of the object it had in view— that of preventing disease; and if the remote cause were to be inquired into at all, the provisions of the statute would be rendered nugatory. There might be some hardship in defendant's case, but if he could show that he suffered through the default of others, he might seek his remedy at law. The worthy Magistrate then or dbred the defendant to remove the offensive matter within 48 hours of the time of receiving the notice. I In reply to inquiries from Mr. Ryder, the chairman of the board of guardians of the parish, Mr. BURRELL intimated that costs would be allowed for the necessary attendance of professional gentlemen to support cases of this description.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending November 28, 1848, is 225. 84d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Dec. 1.) SUGAR.-There was no improvement apparent in the proceedings in Raw Sugar for home trade purposes, and prices are still drooping, notwithstanding the decrease of supply at market. West India met with little atten tion for either scale or pan, and only 360 hhds and trcs found buyers, making 1,770 for the week, and at prices 6d per cwt lower. The market for free labour Sugar closes with much heaviness. For public sale on Tues -150 hhds Barbadoes, and for Thursday 1,308 boxes Yel low Havannah, duty paid or allowed, and 1,200 baskets Java Sugar, are declared. REFINED.-To-day there was much dulness in the market for home trade Refined Goods, and former rates are with difficulty kept up. Bonded Crushed Sugar is not cheaper, but there was less disposition shown to do business. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon little activity was ap parent in the market for Mauritius Sugar, and 1,052 bags at auction were only in part sold at barely former rates; low yellow went at 335, fine brown 32s to 32s 6d, syrupy 27s to 33s 6d, and washed 27s to 32s per cwt. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar was dealt in with caution, and 1,678 bags at public sale went 6d per cwt lower, but the whole sold; middling white Be nares at 38a 6d to 395, damp 37s 6d to 38s, low soft yellow 32s Gd to 33s Gd, middling 34s to 355, good 375, fine strong yellow damp and washed 39s 6d to 435, good 38s to 38s 6d, middling 36s to 37s 6d, and low 33s to 34s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-This afternoon at public sale 424 hhds 250 barrels Porto Rico Sugar were taken in rather above the value; low greyish yellow at 35s 6d to 365, and mid 37s 6d to 38s. The private operations for the week are 1,000 chests yellow Havannah at 18s to 20s for middling to fine, and a cargo of white Bahia at 20s per cwt for Trieste. CccoA.-There has been more inquiry after West India this week, but holders insisting upon better prices, operated against business by private treaty. Of 445 bags Trinidad offered at auction, a part only sold. The better sort is much wanted, and is in small supply. For Foreign the demand is not brisker, and prices keep low; Guayaquil is only worth 28s to 28s 6d, and Brasil 28s to 29s per cwt. A public sale of 50 bags 41 barrels Trini dad Cocoa is declared to take place on Tuesday. COFFEE.-To-day the dealings in Coffee by private treaty were of little moment both by exporters and home trade buyers, still holders were not disposed to accept lower rates. None was put up to auction. The value of Native Ceylon is from 26s 6d to 28s per cwt. On Tuesday 15 casks 22 barrels Jamaica, and on Wednes day 4,000 bags Costa Rica Coffee will be offered for pub lic competition. TEA.-Public sales to the extent of 15,900 packages are declared to take place on Wednesday, about 600 of which consist of Assam. There is a desire shown by merchants to accept former low rates for all sorts of black, yet the dealings have been upon a small scale only; fair u se f u l common C ongou is offered at 7kd for money. In the market for Green much d u l ness ex i s t s , an d t h e ten d ency o f prices is yet to recede for most sorts ; the supply continues to get more plentiful. For scented and Pekoe Teas few buyers are to be met with, and sellers are willing to make a further concession in the value. The current rates for Tea are es follows-Congou, ord Sid to 7d, good ord mxd blkh if 8d to Sid, bllth if 9.1 to 10d, strong lld to is Id, do and Pekoe fia is 2d to is Souchong, low and mid 8d to is 2d, good and fine is 4d to 2s 4d, and Pouchong 4d to 7d ; Hyson is ld to is 2d, mid is 3d to is 6d, good is 7d to 2s, fine 2s 2d to 35 3d ; Hyson skin ord 6d to Bd, better kind 9d to is 4d; Young Hyson 8d to Is 3d, good and fine Is 4d to 3s Gd; Imperial Canton 10,1 to is 2d, Hyson sort Is 3d to 3s, Gunpowder is to Is sd, Hyson sort Is 6d to 3s 4d, fine 3s 6d to 4s, caper 7d to is 6d; Twankay, ord 3d to sd, brtsh 6d to 9d, and Hyson kind 10d to Is. Orange Pekoe ord and mid quality 7d to Is, good and fine scented Is 2d to 2s, black leaf Pekoe 10d to is Bd, and flowery Is to 3s per lb.

On Wednes day 500 boxes pearl Sago flour, and on Thursday 1,900 bags Rice will be offered at auction. SPIRITS.—There is no advance to record in the value of Jamaica Ruin this week; the demand has been brisker chiefly for home trade use. The total sales arc 500 puns. Of fine sorts there is only a small supply, and the de mand is good, from 3s 9d to 4s 2d for 35 to 38 per cent. over proof. Demerara is not offered at any further decline ; the demand is also good, and 150 puns have been sold at 2s to 2s 3d for good and fine quality 34 to 33 per cent over. Leeward Island is in much better de mand, and cannot be purchased upon former terms. For the week 400 puns have been sold, mostly at is 4d for good quality, and a small part at is 3id for plain. East India met with a more active sale, and about 200 hhds wero disposed of at is 3d proof. Havannah Rum is not much wanted at present, and Is. old. is the nearest value of proof. For Brandy for mer rates are asked, and deliveries still exceed those of last year, but the market is in a quiet state. Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1845 we quote 5s Id to 5s 3d, ditto 1846 at 4s 9d to 4s 11d, ditto 1847 3s 9d to 3s lid, inferior marks 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 2s 4d to 2s 2d; Spanish 2s to 2s 4d, and French 50 per cent over proof at 2s to 2i 2d.

SALTPETRE. —For Rough the market is firm, and a fair business has been done at from 25s 6d to 27s for low to fine. None was offered at public sale, but a large parcel is declared. British Refined sells readily at 28s 6d to 29g. Nitrate of Soda is in fair demand at 11s 6d to 12s per cwt.

Valencia Raisins find a ready sale at 36s to 375. Sultanas meet with little atten'ion, and must be quoted lower; the primest will not fetch more than 70s.

Ginger is not lower, but only a small busi ness has been concluded this week by exporters or home trade buyers; the supply has fallen oft Fur Cin namon few buyers are to be met with, and sales can easily be made upon the terms of the last auctions.

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday are limited, and comprise 300 quarters of wheat, 1,293 quarters of barley, 84 quarters of malt, 1,984 quarters of oats, 72 quarters of beans, 42 quarters of peas, 1,596 loads of oatmeal, and 1,340 sacks of flour. From C ana d a t h ere are aga i n goo d supplies -1,768 quarters of wheat, 2,240 quarters of peas, and 13,651 barrels of flour being reported; and from foreign ports they amount to 5,910 quarters of wheat, 500 quar ters of beans, 13,910 quarters of Indian corn, 158 bar rels of corn meal, 1,747 sacks and 22,256 barrels of flour. The exports in the same time amount to 1,318 quarters of wheat, 167 quarters of oats, 4,027 quarters of Indian corn, 67 barrels of corn meal, 191 sacks and 1,815 bar rels of flour. The transactions in free produce since Tuesday have been on a moderate scale and entirely for consumption, without any further change in the value of wheat, oats, flour, or oatmeal. In barley, beans, or peas there has been so little doing that prices are nominal. Indian corn was sold at 6d per quarter decline; and corn meal was rather cheaper. There have been somo in quiries for bonded wheat and flour, but holders being in different about selling at present rates, no important business has resulted. At this day's market the trans actions were extremely limited for every article. Free wheat and flour were in some instances a little cheaper, but holders generally were not disposed to submit to any further reduction, and few sales were made: 28s to 28s 6,1 per barrel were the current rates for Western Canal. Oats and oatmeal were fully as dear, with a slow retail demand. Barley, beans, and peas may be considered nominally as on Tuesday, with rather more inquiry for boiling samples of the latter. Indian corn was in fair request at the decline stated; 33s 6d being realised for prime American yellow down to 30s 6d per 4801 b for middling parcels of mixed quality. Indian corn meal 16s 6el per barrel. There were inquiries for bonded flour at 255, but none offered under 25s 6d, and few holders were disposed to take less than 26s per barrel. About 1,000 quarters American red wheat were sold at 6s per 701 b in bond. AVERAGES NOR THE WEEE ENDING NOV. 28. Qrs. s. d. Q rs . s. d.

THE MAONET ON BOARD IRON STEAM-SHIPS.— A paragraph has been going the rounds to the effect that the stranding of the Great Britain, in Dundrum Bay, might have been occasioned by the effects of the iron on the compass. This statement 15 contradicted in a letter of the 27th instant, dated Clifton, from Captain Claxton, of which the follow ing is the substance :—" I can only say that they (the Great Britain's compasses) were not found incorrect on previous voyages, as far as my me mory serves me, that they were carefully compensated at Liverpool, that Captain Ilosken was furnished with a card of corrections, that on my arriving at Dundrum he informed me he had no fault to find with them. It is due to Captain Idosken that the statement should be contradicted, as it would have been his duty to have obtained my assistance in ascertaining any error when the . ship was lightened and uninjured, and everything ready for again crossing to Liverpool, and which, as you are aware, nothing prevented our doing on a Tuesday morning early in October but the southerly gale of the night before. The publication of such a state ment is a great deal too bad, as whatever the intent, the effect is to shake confidence in iron ships."—Liverpool Mercury. Lincoln fair on Tuesday last presented a large show of steer beasts, great numbers of which were West country stock brought by train along the Midland line. Those of good quality sold pretty readily, at prices fully equal to the terms of neighbouring fairs ; but those low in condition sold at lower prices than the run of late fairs. Fat beasts were not numerous, and what were offering were generally not of first-rate quality. The show of sheep was small : beef 6s. to 6s. 9d. per stone, mutton 6d. per lb. Useful cows sold readily at good prices. The horse fair presented none of the most in viting class of animals; the few useful nags were pretty eagerly bought up; and, as usual, at the fair of this sea son, the owners of rifY.ra,ff animals were bustling about with all the importance of men who bad a large stake upon the cast of the fair, though their worldly posses sions amounted to three or four shabby horses, or a string of lean and shaggy ponies.—Stamford Mercury.
