SUGAR.—Although the arrivals of West India Sugar have been numerous, amounting to 10,900 hhds, &c., since this day week, still merchants have shown firmness, and the late demand has been very good for all descrip tions, both for the scale and refining ; the prices paid have been fully equal to those of Friday last. To-day there was less activity in the British Planta tion Sugar market, and from 'uoth grocers and refiners there was only a limited demand, but the merchants re mained firm, and refused to submit to lower rates. The purchases for the w-elt are 1,850 'Aids and trcs. large arriva!s appear to have had some influence amongst the trace but as they are indifferently supplied, a reaction in the market may be shortly looked for. • BEFINED.—The market has presented a firm appear ance for refined Sugar this week ; the demand has been good for all qualities for home consumption ; and full rates have been given.

IN THE MATT ER OF ROBERT ROLLO. The bankrupt in this case was described in the fat as a rrerchant in the Vauxhall -road, but he had bef n, up to the month of May last, a well-known anl x tcnsive wine and spirit merchant and commission agent, carrying on business in Liverpool. This day being appointed for the choice of assignees and final examination of the bankrupt, Mr. Vend sander appeared on behalf of Mr. Webber, the brewer,- of Liverpool, who was a creditor to a large amount, to oppose the admission of several proofs. It appeared that the person who struck the docket originally was Mr. Roberts, an auctioneer, in Dean-street, Finsbury square, upon a bill of exchange drawn by the bank rupt in favour of a solicitor named .Scarborough, re siding in Liverpool. Mr. Scarborough lent the bank rupt various sums of money, for which several mining shares as secu r i ty.

To be had also of all Booksellers. A well-dressed personage, who refused to g,i‘T his name, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Maltby, charged with having assaulted the police. From the evidence of two C division constables it appeared that the anonymous defendant was seen on horseback, in Carnaby-street, about four o'clock that morning, in a state of intoxication, which evidently prevented him from taking due care of either himself or his horse. The police proceeded to stop the de fendant, upon which the defendant struck the consta ble with a stick ; on a second constable coming up to as.ist he assaulted him in a like manner. The de fendant was, however, secured in the station-house, and his horse taken to the green-yard. Mr. MALTBY required the defendant to give his name and address. The defendant wrote on a piece of paper, " W. M. Stanborough, No. 12 A, Belgrave-square." In answer to the charge the defendant admitted he had been " takin6 wine ;" but if left alone his horse would have earned him safely home. The fine of 40s. was inflicted and paid. MARYLEBONE.

SURREY' SESSEONS. (Before Mr. PUCKLI and a Bench of Magistrates.) ~110 f l c :Z ./ all S u rilli totprosecuted,piekin g the ad pocket r . .h was m i r n . d l ic ia t y ed lo fi r ir Wallinger defended the prisoner. The prosecutor. was a countryman from Birming ham, and, being in London, had gone down for the day to Gravesend by one of the excursion boats, on board of which he had met with a female named Black. They became very intimate on the voyage up to London, and, after partaking of divers refreshin g potations at the Old Shades, they went to Black's house in Great Suffolk-street, where they met with the prisoner, and at her suggestion they all ad journed to the Red Lion wine-vaults in the neigh bourhood, where Black, according to prosecutor's ac count, put her hand in his pocket, and took away the money in question. Black had not since been found, but the prosecutor had complained to the police the next day, and the prisoner was given into custody. On his cross-examination, he admitted that he was more than " three sheets in the wind," at the time the occurrence took place, and that when he went to Union Hall .to appear a gainst the prisoner, he was desired to leave the Court because he was in toxicated. He moreover gave his evidence in such a manner that the Jury interrupted the case, and ac quitted the prisoner, as they stated they could not convict on such testimony. The prisoner had been permitted by the, Magistrate to go at large on her own r ecognizances, and she had surrendered this day to take her trial. DARING BURGLARY.—SamueI Slater, a young man, and two others, were charged at this Court on Wed nesday last, with breaking into the house of Mr. Christopher, who keeps " The Lord Hill," North Wharf, Paddington. They were then, for lack of evidence discharged, but subsequent information having been given to the police. Slater was re-appre hended, and brought before Mr. Long this morning. Mr. Christopher said the prisoner, with two others, was drinking till twelve on Tuesday night, when they left, and he closed his doors and went to bed. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASsUll, ANCE SOCIETY, He got up at half-past five next morning and found his bar parlour door broken open, and 125., a quantity of cigars, and two silk handkerchiefs stolen. He sus pected the prisoner and his companions, and gave in formation to the police. Police-constable 34 D said, on Wednesday evening he saw the prisoner and his companions in a coffee-shop, with some cigars, but not having heard of the robbery then took no particular notice of them ; subsequently went to Mr. Christopher's house, and got a duplicate pattern of one of the handkerchiefs stolen ; went back to the coffee-shop, and saw the same pattern drying before the fire. FOREIGN.-The market has a firm appearance for all kinds under this denomination ; importers have re frained from offering any at auction this week, and buyers have been desirous to do business.

Mr. Charles Thorp, of Clifford's Inn, stated that he made a demand upon the part of Mrs. White of the defendant by letter, informing him that unless the four Diamond Steam-packet Company shares were returned, an application should be made to the Lord Mayor to compel him to make restitution.

He instantly gave an alarm, and assistance being procured, the body was got out and conveyed to Camberwell workhouse. She is a remarkably fine young woman about 25 years of age. On examination a severe bruise was found on the bridge of the nose, a second on the left shoulder, and third near the right car. It is supposed she is far advanced in pregnancy.

He replied that he did not, but wished to watch the proceedings himself. He was accordingly seated beside the Commissioner. In the meantime the Major's brother having whis pered to Mr. Jennings, he undertook to attend to the case. Examination resumed—While the Major was at the Lunatic Asylum at Hoxton his brother came to see him, and he (the Major) said that it was not his brother, but an automaton with wire legs. He be lieves that he is under sentence of death fer an abo minable offence, which he said he committed in India, and that he is to he burnt alive. He has repeatedly asked witness to bleed him to death, in order that he might escape burning alive. When he was informed of the fact that a commission was to be held to in quire as to his sanity-, and asked if he would have Counsel, he requested to have paper to write his answer down. Witness gave him paper, and he wrote some rambling and unintelligible lines. The three notes now produced were written by the Major to the witness.—(They were read, and were full of incoherent expressions.) The Major requested that he should be allowed to see these notes, and he read them aloud very collect edly and distinctly. 1)r. Sutherland sworn—ls senior physician at St. Luke's Hospital. First saw the Major on the 9th of August, 1842. He was under the delusion that there was a wire figure at Hackney which communicated with wires connected with Whitmore-house. He said these acted on his face, and made him swear, and that there was a spirit at Hackney which worked the machine, and could compel him to answer any ques tion, and to sign his name to any paper it pleased. He said that the figure was a clerk at the India-house, and could deprive him of his pension, and that it had offered to set him free if he would give it a check for 500/. He said that he wrote checks for the figure, and laid them on the table, and they used to dis appear. Witness saw him again on the 9th of Sep tember, when he told witness that all he had said to him on the former occasion was nonsense, and that all their conversation had been written, word for word, in a book entitled "The Delusions of, a Deluded Mouse." He said, that there was a great deal - about Euphemia Darlington in the book, and that what they were say ing at the moment, and what would in future be said, was written in the book. Witness then asked him if he knew by the hook what would be the decision of the Jury in his own case ; and he replied, that he had not yet come to that part. Witness saw him a third time, on the 14th instant, and asked him why he asked the attendant to cut his throat, and he re plied, that he wanted to get out of the house. He said, the residents at Whitmore-house never died, but that the place was made to wring delusions from per sons of feeble nerves, and that the place made people mad from the nature of its construction, and from a sort of freemasonry that was carried on. On being asked why he had offered to marry the niece of a Mrs. Austin, he said that Mrs. Austin had been in • strumental in getting him out of madhouses before, and would get him out of Whitmore-house if he bribed her. It was the opinion of witness that he had no lucid intervals, and that he would never recover the use of his senses. By the Major—Do you consider that I am a lunatic ? Witness—l do. The Major—And not likely to recover, so as to be able to control myself or my property? Witness—Yes. The Major—Do you think lam speaking like a lunatic at this moment? Witness—No; but you are still under the same delusions. Were I to probe them I should bring them forth. The Major—Whitmore-house is very old, and from its construction, calculated to deprive people of their reason, and make them mad. I was never under any delusions before I went,tO Whitmore-house. Mr. BARLOW—Did you notice any peculiarity in the formation of 'Whitmore-house ? The Major—No; but from its general nature it maddens people. Mr. BaaLow—Are. the. rooms large and light? The Major—Yes, they are large and roomy ; but I have an uneasy sensation while I am in the house. Mr. BARLOW—Is there a garden to the house ? The Major—There is. Mr. I;mmow—And do you feel the same sensation in the garden ? The Major—l feel just the same. Mr. B.A.RLOW then asked him about the wires which he was said to speak of, and he said, that he was not aware that there were any such wires, but from its form and construction the house made its in mates mad. Dr. Sutherland said, that he was of opinion that it would be dangerous to leave the Major at large, for he thought he would destroy himself. He had made several attempts at Whitmore-house. Charles Meddings examined—Resides at Whitmore house, where he is an attendant on the insane persons. Ma',or Campbell is under all the delusions mentioned by the last witness, and also says his brother is Lord Courtenay. While witness was shaving him, he asked him to cut his throat, and had endeavoured to get the razor from witness to open a vein in his arm. Dr. Campbell, the Major's brother by a different mother, was examined. He stated that the Major's mother was at present in Scotland, and his father had been dead some time. The Major is about 50 years of age. Witness conveyed him to Whitmore-house on the 23d of December. About three days before witness did so he (the Major) had been suddenly seized with violent delirium, which increased daily. Witness was at the Oriental Club with him, when he said that a murder had been committed in the house where he lodged. This was the commencement of his delirium. The next day witness was out and re-, mained out until midnight. When witness came again next morning, the Major had gone into Oxford street with only his pantaloons on, and there was a crowd about him. Witness does not consider him fit to manage his property. This was the whole of the evidence. The room having been cleared, the Jury, after about five minutes' deliberation, intimated to Mr. Barlow that they had agreed. The doors of the room were then opened, and the foreman of the Jury (Sir J. Hansler) said, " We find that Andrew Mitchell Campbell is of unsound mind and incapable of managing his own affaidrrsot;hfaastnodhcieehtbaeys, pie b nof e se Whitmore-house, sonibti opinion r thate -s e htbohrhueoas brother h d a;s o if and ennr D tdec e l mlcae,eememttpbblhveieonrlu,k, would hBeha4tat have been bebynleSeprner placedoap e r e im proved care,hesimncaey; yaentdbweceosintreonagulyserfueclommemmebne an placed id, hbeesueenordmeecrpoetinthemen competent nt odaattisurveillancetoennsdmtioollfh be two carriedv kn affairs." ff p keepers , a into as pro- i nr st , 0. ~ th e A c ft o e m r m s o i t s n s e io n n e t c h e e s n sar b necessary forms u s p h . ad been gone through, , The income of Major Campbell is about 7001. per annum.

The winner of the St. Leger was never backed by any individual soul for one copper until the day before the race. No compliment to the gentlemen of the Press, not one newspaper ever included Blue Bonnet in the number of starters. •I will not, like some gentlemen who make a boast of prophesying what will not win, take the slightest credit to myself for declaring my opinion last week about Attila; I opposed him on principle, and it now seems really as if the same horse was never again to win the Derby and St. Leger. My letter, however, of Saturday last, will well bear a re-perusal. I said I would not hear of Fireaway, because an ill-tempered horse; some argue that he would have won if hQ had not (as be did at Goodwood) stopped and kicked when the jockey called upon him ! I said, Fireaway 'was sure to beat Ballinkeele ; he did ! I said, if Seahorse had not run at Wolverhampton, I. should have selected him to win. Many argue that, if he had never gone there, he would have won; there is no doubt in the world that he was amiss on Sunday, and yet he runs se cond !

I should have said the same after the Derby, but I sho u ld at the have told an untruth. Rosalind looked well distance. It is rather fortunate for my reput a ti on I had never heard of the winner. By Touchstonesire of Rosalind, my prediction might have been ct , herwise. Who shall say ? My predilection for the blood is well known. The pace was terrific, and I can only presume Mr. W. Scott thought he was mounted on a Don John. I saidad the Derby was a slowrun ra uni now who c oubt Master Thomas, the horse backed so much at the eleventh u llour, was 'beat early in the race. Overwhelmingover-confident, therefore careless, success has made you Mr. John Scott. The immediate Scott party y are heavy l osers . They backed their horses l men—like sportsmen—and . deserved to win. Air. and St. Leger; Mr; Scott Dawson has now won Oaks Derby. All the good things this year ha ve gone to the North. Lord Eglinton is a large winner. Colonel Peel's luck is terrible, always running second in great races. It struck me f thatthe attendance was not on a par WORSHIP-STREET. THE CASE OF THE WIDOW BRIGGS.—The follow ing donations have been received by Mr. Broughton, to be applied to the use of Charlotte Briggs the widow of the poor cabman, who lately lost his life under the melancholy circumstances detailed in The Sun of Thursday, leaving her with an aged mother and six children in a state of entire destitution :—Mr. Stephens, 1/. ; Major Blamire, 65.; E.

Gosling and Co., from a benevo lent lady, whose name was not permitted to transpire. Mrs. Briggs attended before the Magistrate in the course of the afternoon, and expressed herself in suit able terms of gratitude towards the generous indivi duals' who had come forward with such promptitude and liberality to her assistance. In answer to a question from the MAGISTRATE re specting her former position in society, she said that previously to her marriage she lived for a considerable time abroad, having filled the situation of English governess in different German families of distinction. The pool: woman cordially concurred in the Magis trate's proposal to . keep the money in his hands until a favourable opportunity occurred of laying it out to the best advantage for herself and family. the .,r evening adw he n o f h t e h s e a s u t , h t h inst. e .df h e e n d w a a n s t is on o m duty oi_ sum monsnchargingbiWu,osull'i constable,- o o sta b him e, N w o i t . h 2 f 3 u 3 r , i driving.o d u e s posed that about nine another o'c approaching him at a the drivers were lashing their horses, I most furious and engaged in a violent contest for the lead.—Fined 40s. i h, o lea; c an k ebkio o ntniely evidently • • COMMISSION OF LUNACY. A commission was on Thursday held at the Gray's inn Coffeehouse, before Mr. Commissioner BARLow and a highly-respectable Jury, to inquire whether or not Major Andrew Mitchell Campbell was of sound mind and capable of managing his affairs. The inquisition commenced at two o'clock, when Mr. BARLOW briefly addressed the Jury, Mr. Baker, who conducted the case, immediately called Charles James Beverley, who stated that he is a surgeon residing at Hackney, and is in the habit of seeing insane persons. Knows Major Campbell. First saw him on the 234 of Dec., 1841, when he was brought by his brother, Dr. Campbell, to Whitmore house, Huston, as an insane person. Witness has since conversed with him as to the state of his mind, and has found him to be labouring under extraordinary delu sions. Ile is generally quiet in his demeanour, but he is sometimes very violent. Ile is under the impres sion that there are wire figures which twitch his face into various contortions, • and compel him to swear against his will. Ile says these figures are in the room above him, and also concealed in the walls and chimney. He says that they are galvanic wires. He believes that invisible beings converse with him from the chimney. He said that these beings had told him that witness had the power to set him at liberty- Witness said that he had not, and he then said that the spirits told him that witness's affirmation was a d—d lie. Mr Jennings attended on behalf of the Major, to see what was going forward, without interfering.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, , much alarm was caused amongst the persons assem bled in Billingsgate market, by a man being seen standing on the parapet of the house No. 4, occupie by Mr. Rous, a fish-salesman, in an extensive way of business, making gestures, as if he meditated • throwing himself off, and in a second or two after , wards he precipitated himself head foremost from the immense height, between 80 and 90 feet from the street. The man, as he fell, turned over once or twice, and cam e d own on hi s b ac k on a l inen blind, of very strong texture, in front of the warehouse. It was supported by a strong piece of timber, upheld by stout iron supporters, fixed in iron clamps, but suen was the impetus of his descent, that the blind was torn into ribbons, the timber beam snapped completely asunder, and the iron work bent up in a most curious manner. This check, however, so effretually broke the force of li;s tall, that he came into contact with the foot pavement with not more violence than if he had fallen only a couple of feet. On being raised up, to the great astonishment of the persons around him, h had not a pp arent l y sustained any injury, and was quite sensible. Mr. bus, who a t that instant rushed out of his house to ascertain what had occurred, im mediately recogn i sed the person in question to be a friend of his, who has been staving since Tuesday last at his house on a visit. His name, it appears, is Win. Dunnett; he is about 25 years of age, and an agri culturist, residing w ith hi s parents at Clopton, near Ipswich. No cause is known that could induce him to attempt self-destruction, n or • were his intell ec t s i n any way affected. 'They had breakfasted together buta,short time previously, and Mr. Dunnett then ' proceeded on to the roof to smoke a cigar`and take a view of the river. The , parap e t round the roof is about foUr feet high. I: he yonu g man was ultimately removedlorSt. Thomas s Hospital, and, a s f ar as t h e surgical examination was proceeded with on ills • ad mission, no fracture was discovered, nor even an ab rasion, however • slight, of the skin ; it however soon became apparent that he had sustained some i n j ury of the head; as his speech failed him, end he becam e delirious, arising, most probably, from conc ussion of the brain, or injury of the spine. He remains at pre sent in a very uncertain state. COWLS, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.—The average price of wheat last week was 22f. 50c., and that of Rye, 13f. ,;7c. per hectolitre, wheat is therefore still exempt from import-duty, while Rye is liable to import dutv of 21f. 50c. for 1,000 kilogrammes. The export duty on both is only 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes, (2,0001b5.) The Senate, which' was to meet yesterday for the dispatch of business, was not able to do anything, only twenty Members being present. It appears to be finally settled that the inauguration of the bridge of Val Benoit, and of the iron railway to the Prussian frontiers, will take place during the September fetes, and that to give more eclat to the ceremony, the contractors of the railway from Liege to Perpignan, will exert themselves to complete the portions of the works from the bridge of Val Benoit to that of Chenee. This portion will have to be opened at the same time. It is a pity that the inau guration cannot take place as far as to Chardfontaine ; but it seems that some new works have been ordered which will delay the completion of this part.

Th e troops o f t h e Q ue en's Bays, now stationed at our barracks, were drilling on the exercise-ground, on the Forest, and just before they left it a soldier was thrown from his horse, and had his leg broken from a kick as he was falling. He was picked. up in a state of extreme anguish, covered with sand and dirt, and placed on his hack upon a board, which was procured from the stand. A number of his comrades, who had dismounted, then raised the board on to their shoulders, and carried him on it. Hi s head not being high enough, the officer in co mman d , Captain Custan s , i nstant ly pulled off hi s own military jacket, and rolling it up, placed it under his head. Be • then rode off in his shirt, trousers, and cap, to f etch a fly, and owing to hi s ga ll o ppi ng at full speed, one wag directly on the spot. This act of ki n d ness on the part of o people w' the officer drew f were orth assemloud bl expressi ons of praise from the , and th e gratified looks of the soldiers told too io ed chat they knew well how to prise those who performed a generous it would not be by them ea s u . us deed, and that ) forgotten.—NoWnyhane Review.

Th ese three tribes united w ill be able to defeat any attempts that may be made by the Ben Salmis and will be further s t rengt h ened by the submissions that will be obtained by the column about to be marched to the East. Our markets already begin to feel the beneficial effects of the Issersjoining our hammer, from the quantities of oil and other ; produce which thiS rich and industrious tribe is bringing into them. The column that moved from Medeah upon the Government of Ben Salem has induced the sub mission ofthe whole of the powerful tribe ofßeni SU man, of which we had already gained several frac tion:;. Its Aga, Maid Eldine, who was appointed by Abd el-Fader, came in person with 600 horse o r the Beni Slimans, and swore obedience to the King of the French. He has sent his children as hostages to Medeah, whither he has engaged to send all the grain in forty-two silos belonging to Abd-el- Kader, and will, without delay, come to Algiers with his Kalds to receive investiture. Thus we arc al most every day gaining a firmer footing upon Ben Salem, whose chief, with 150 horse and a few foot, fled to the desert on the approach of our troops. The Beni Slimans declare that, united as they now are, they have nothing to fear from the vengeance of the Kalifa."
