FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The project for the establishment of baths and washhouses for the labouring poor is now so far advanced, and so extensively supported, that the completion of the undertaking may be reasonably anticipated. We have, however, reason to believe that the ideas prevalent among those who have so honourably distinguished themselves in the promotion of this project, as to the precise manner in which they are to effect their object, or even as to the nature of the obstacles they may probably have to con tend with, are yet exceedingly undefined. They propose to put themselves in direct and imme diate communication with a class of persons with whose habits and notions they most probably pos sess a very imperfect acquaintance. The daily life of the poor and the destitute in our courts and alleys is as little—perhaps less—known to those whose names appear most prominent in the list of subscribers to this benevolent scheme than the habits of the aborigines of New Zealand or Labrador. Tact and intelligence, in addition to an untiring spirit of philanthropy must be employed to make the means of cleanliness, about to be offered to the poor, available for good, to an extent in any degree commensurate with the expectations of those who have taken so warm an interest in furnishing them. It is not enough that the means be there. We must also have, in those for whose use they are in tended, a disposition to use them. One of the most constant results of a life of poverty in a large city is an indifference to personal cleanliness. Such an indifference is, we believe, at this mo ment, almost universal among the poor and labouring classes of London. It would, indeed, be surprising if it were otherwise. In the first place cleanliness is scarcely compatible -with the miserable domestic arrangements, and the priva tion of light, air, and water, to which the poor of a city are always, more or less, closely habituated. Their occupations also, which, with the industrious, fill up nearly the whole of their waking hours gene rally oppose a barrier to the cultivation of a taste for cleanliness. If it could be supposed that there is in man, as there seems to be in some of the lower animals, a natural tendency to be clean, we might perhaps depend upon its displaying itself whenever the obstacles to its indulgence might be removed. But experience and observation show that this is not so. Where food and warmth are scarce, there is, on the contrary, a strong tendency to shun leanliness, as a positive infliction. There is an old Scottish proverb—"the clartier the cosier"—which recent researches in animal physiology have stamped with the authority of a scientific truth. It is found that men who are insufficiently fed and clothed are lite rally not fitted to bear cleanliness. It augments the rapidity of the process by which the vitality of the body is in a constant course of reduction, and renders an in creased supply of food and warmth essential to its preservation in a state of tolerable comfort. These, we apprehend, are causes which will greatly reduce the numbers of those who are expected to take advan tage of the establishment of the proposed baths and washhouses for the improvement oftheir personal habits: There are also other circumstances worthy of careful consideration in reference to any attempt to make such an establishment generally useful. Among those of the poorer classes who may be least affected by the causes we have already enumerated, we may expect to find many whose desire for cleanliness is one of the rem nants of a mode of life adopted in a station from which they have been reduced. But in dealing with this class we have to encounter another obstacle, and one less likely to be readily obviated than any of those yet referred to. Such persons will usually be found to cherish strong objections to the receipt of public bounty in any form. The preservation of any portion of the habits and feelings of a station from which they have sunk, is generally accompanied by an unwillingness to acknowledge the depth of their fall. They cling to all that remain of the past, as something distinguishing them from those by whom they are surrounded. And the same course of feeling too commonly urges them to reject everything which, however beneficial in itself, might seem to place them upon a common level with those who have no such remem brances to give dignity to the present, or to cast the light of hope over the future. These are undoubtedly the very persons to whom the benefits of the scheme would be most acceptable, could they be accepted without a sacrifice of the feelings which tend to make them so. They form, probably, a large majority of those who, in the present condition of the poor, will recorise the value of the proffered advantages; but we fear they will also be found, in reference to this and all similer schemes of public benevolence, most difficult to reach and to relieve. There is much in the nature and object of the plan alluded to, which must secure to it the warm approval and hearty co-operation ( f every intelligent and humane observer of the state ee the poor in this country. It reflects the highest ho nour upon all concerned in its formation and pro motion. But, with our best wishes for its success, we cannot but mingle some portion of anxiety. Should this effort fail, its failure will long be found an obstacle in the way of any similar scheme. We should he sorry to see any movement, resulting from the awakened attention to the manifold miseries of the poor, frustrated by a want of care in con ducting it to a definite and beneficial result. And there is probably no subject upon which the want of accurate information is more general, cr less appa rent, than upon the actual state of the lower classes of society. Our past indifference to their sufferings has indeed only one excuse—our ignorance. The first motive to a change of our conduct has been fur nished by a partial removal of that ignorance. We already see enough to discover our error ; but we fear it will be necessary to push our knowledge much be yond its present extent, before we shall be in a fit condition to amend it. STANDARD.—The rapid decline of the repeal rent for some weeks past appears to have filled the arch-mendicant with unfeigned alarm, and to have induced him to break th e " sagac i ous pause i n di rect ' agitation which he had p rescr ib e d 'fb r himself. The daily subsiding fanaticism of his followers, and the dissensions which have arisen among them, have imposed upon him the necessity of reviving, coute qui coute, the expiring agitation. Another motive. hardly less cogent, has doubtless had something to do with his decision. Next Sunday will be tribute day, and unless he makes some show of not having alto gether abandoned his trade, he seems likely to have a Flemish account from the " begging brothers" of his order. Influenced by there very sufficient reasons for bestirring himself, he has, in a long and wordy letter to the Repeal Assoiciation, an flounced his intention to be present at the Concilia tion Hall on the 25th instant, and to bring for ward two subjects of " great vital importance." The first (risurn teneatis) is his `• proposal to impeach the persons principally concerned in the late monster prosecution," and to procure the 64 of the people of Great Britain in enforcing in Parliament the necessity of such impeachment. This little interlude will of course involve a sub scription, the alpha and omega of all his speculations. But his grand object is the organisation of the Preservative Society of 300, who will be re quired to subscribe 1001. a-piece, for the doubtful honour of rendering themselves liable to prosecu tion; and who will form a sort of provisional par liamen until a repeal House of Commons be elected. It is confessed that the legal difficul ties whic h ir m . ,us e t se at e t a e n n norc h a scheme are great, and that, proc i e n ed no further satisfactorily overcome, it will e o r f than the deposit of the " sum and front" peculation—th e collection of the cash. Ilere,reepethaesine„mis something with which to amuse the 25th. With regard to repeal O'Connelll nti e l a l th e e intimates that if the substitute he h as prop o sed does not yield him a little more profit tha n a has bitherto done, he will fall back on his original idea. He admits, moreover, that the federal experiment has, so far, proved unsuccessful ; for Protestant gentlemen of rank, talent, and patriotism, have not flocked to its standard in the numbers that might have been expected. Mr. Grey Porter had, to be sure, promised to enlighten his countrymen on the subject, but the mountain is still in labour. Mr. Sharman Crawford has treated us with an outline of the benefits which federalism is to realise for its adherents, but with all this there have been no public meetings, no agitation, and worst of all, no subscriptions. Such a state of things can not, of course, be tolerated any longer. Mr. O'Con nell has accordingly 'come forward to inti mate to his countrymen that federalism is but a name for another sort of agitation, which will not only eventually give them " simple repeal but something more: He ascribes the present failure of the movement to Whig disaffection from its ranks, and reprobates the conduct of the Tory press in having ascribed to him an intention to coalesce with them ; whilst he admits that they had "countenanced every effort of his to procure a de claration from the federalists," with the view, of course, of taking a part in the speculation. We were, therefore, not so far wrong when we expressedour bel;ef that a coalition was in course of negotiation, and would have been effected had not Mr. O'Connell demanded exorbitant terms as the price of his ad hesion. Looking at these disappointments and mortifications, he proposes to consider federalism as merely an interlude of the grand drama of repeal. With these opinions, and with an eye to some defections from the cause, and more especially to that of Mr. Duffy and his newspaper fellow-labourers, he proposes that federalism shall no longer be one of hi% Cabinet questions, but shall be thrown open. Looking to the unprofitable results of the compromise, he now expresses his determination not to be content with anything short of the repeal of the union, the restoration of the Irish House of Lords, the reconstruction (on reform principles) of the Irish House of Commons, and its investment with all the power it enjoyed (and abused) before the union ; that is to say, complete legislative and judicial authority in Ireland. subject always to the preservation of the connection (ad libitum) be tween great Britain and Ireland, through the means of a sole executive and the golden link of the Crown. This is what he is pleased to consider simple repeal. and those who do not care to call it by that name, may call it federalism, or anything else they please. His sole object in giving it that title was, he can didly confesses, to conciliate certain Protestant noble men and gentlemen who had held aloof from the ori ginal movement ; " seeing that repeal, to be useful to Ireland, should have their assent." It is thus clear, that he has not yet given up the hope of a coalition with the Whigs, and that the " sagacious pause," of which he has just spoken, was designed to afford op portunities for further deliberation and negotiation. _ STATE OF TRADE. (From the Mancheskr Guardian.) The Yarn Market continues without change ; indeed the spinners are under contract to so great an extent, as to leave very little yarn for present sale ; and prices are very firm, except for some few of the finer counts suitable for doubling, which are rather easier to buy. Goods are steady at previous rates. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Nov. 11. —There has been very little change in the piece market to-day, except, perhaps, it may be said, that the buyers have shown a greater desire to purchase. The manufacurers have complained that the forced sales of last Monday were quoted in the Guardian, as it is well known that prices are submitted to by some parties (at a slack time) in November, which are, perhaps, not a fair criterion fur those who can hold their goods. It appears to us, however, that the prices at which business is done are the market prices, and as such ought tube quoted. The wool market is much the same ; manufacturers buy for immediate use only. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE MAGISTRATES OF BERKSHIRE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) The COURT took time to consider their judgment. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) IN RE THE REV. JAMES MEDE NISBETT. A writ of habeas to bring up the body of the de fendant was obtained in this case. As far as the facts were disclosed it appeared that Mr. Nisbett was imprisoned in this country for a debt due to Mr. Bucannan, who discounted some bills for him. He was in prison for sixteen months but lately applied and obtained an order for his liberation, under the late statute for the relief of insolvent debtors. He was, however, detained under a warrant issued by the justices of the peace for the county of Tippe rary, which was backed by Mr. Jardine, the police magistrate of Bow-street, for a riot with which he was charged. The warrant stated that the defendant was " indicted at the peace-office" for a riot, and " it charged and commanded the police-constables of Tipperary to apprehend the said James Mede Nis bett, if found in Tipperary, and him in safe custody keep, so as to have his body before the justices of peace at Nenagh to answer for the said offence." Mr. Humphrey, with whom were Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Sturgeon, appeared in support of the discharge. Mr. Doudeswell appeared to oppose the discharge. Mr. Justice PATTESON, in giving judgment, said that in this country there would be two fatal objec tions to the warrant. The first was, that it stated the defendant was indicted " in the Peace-office." He did not know what the Peace-office was. If the indictment was preferred at the Court of Quarter Sessions, it should be so stated. If it was not, then the justices of Quarter Sessions had no jurisdiction. The other objection was one which arose from the extraordinary nature of the warrant. It directed the whole body of the police of the county of Tipperary to appre hend the party if found within the county, and him in safe custody keep, so that they might have his body at the Quarter Sessions. It was clearly contrary to law to give the police any such authority unless there was some Irish statute to justify it. If the offence was a bailable one the party was to be bailed by the proper authorities, if not a bailable offence he was to be impri soned and kept in the custody of the Sheriff. But accord ing to this warrant neither of these things was to be done, but the party was to remain in the custody of the police till the next session. It appeared to him very ex traordinary. The party must be discharged. The prisoner was discharged accordingly. THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BLACKWALL. CORONER'S INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) Precisely at half-past twelve o'clock, this day, the Coroner for the Eastern District, 'William Baker, Esq., attended at the Queen's Head, High-street, Poplar, where a jury, composed of the most respec table inhabitants of the division, were met to inquire into the cause which resulted in the death of Jacob Samuda, Samuel Dodd, James Sclanders, Henry Scovell, Thomas Nuent, John Newman, and Arthur M'Gee. The jurymen afterwards proceeded to view the re mains of the sufferers, which lay in the bone-house of the parish. The exhibition was truly a painful one, for, in addition to the sad relics of mortality, the re lations of the deceased were in the immediate neigh bourhood, and their unaffected sorrow, if silently ex pressed, was only the more touching. As the room in the Queen's He - ad was not suffi ciently large to accommodate the parties who, from curiosity, or more generous motives, attended the inquest, the jurymen retired to the Town-hall, where the following evidence was taken before the worthy Coroner : (It is since ascertained that two of the unfortunate men removed to the London Hospital have died, but the jury will not take mgnisance of their deaths to day.) The names of the jurymen having been called over, the first witness called was an engineer, a workman in the service of Messrs. Samuda, whose evidence was merely taken to identify the bodies. Joseph Reed, Blackwall, pattern-maker, knew the body of Mr. Jacob Samuda, who was an engineer, residing in Summer- street, Southwark. His age was somewhere about thirty-one. Also the bodies of Henry Scovell, aged 44, residing at 14, Earl-street, Poplar; James Sclanders, aged thirty-seven ; Thomas Nugent, aged eighteen, of 157, Union-street ; John Newman, fireman, aged thirty-seven; Arthur M'Gee, labourer, aged thirty-five, also of Poplar; and Samuel Dodd, aged twenty-seven, of Blackwall. The bodies were those lying in the dead-house. George Low, 14, Hamilton-street, Deptford —I am an engineer in the employ of Messrs. Jacob and Joseph Samuda, the former the deceased. They are builders of iron boats, as well as engineers. They built and placed the engines in the Gipsy Queen, which I believe belonged to an Irish company. A ship of her size and measure might be worth about 15,000/. The engines were double, but moved by one shaft. I believe the engine is patented. It is generally known by the name of the "bell-crank" engine. The engines stand fore and aft, instead of across the vessel, the object being merely to save room. The beam of a common engine revolves upon its centre, but the beams of Messrs. Samuda's have their motions at the end, and not in the centre. I cannot say what effect the difference of engine may have in causing the accident, but from my glance at the remains of it I should say that the steam pipes look as if they had been taken from an old vessel in stead of being new. The engines were condensing ones and worked all day yesterday. The valve would not rise at 101 b. to the square inch, and before mis chief could arise it was calculated to work 401 b. to the square inch. The horse power would depend upon the 200, as the diamet o pressure, b u t I su ppose of the t the cylinderaverage waspo power 4 7 5 to o inches. b e b s o h u et started at a quarter to three yesterday for the second trial, she having first tried from her moorings on Friday last. She turned when off Woolwich, and arrived at Blackwall at ten minutes past five, when she was moored to a buoy off Brunswick Pier. I worked during the trip one engine, and the deceased Mr. Samuel Dodd the other. The power was kept up till the vessel was fast at her moorings, and then the deceased Mr. Samuda said to me, " That will do with the engine." I replied, " Then I will draw the fire and blow the boilers off," which meant that I would throw the water off. lie said, " Don't do that." I want to see 251bs. upon the boilers, meaning of course 251bs. to the inch. He added " fetch me a candle," and I did so, and we then looked at the gunge, and found it 101 b. to the square inch. He told me to go and see if the steam was going strongly off. I or dered one of the firemen to go, but deceased would not permit it, saying, " I cannot depend upon any one but you." I then went, but had not gone 40 inches or four steps on deck, when 1 heard the explosion. I cannot tell what caused the explosion. By a Juror—No steam could blow off without a pressure of 26 lbs. to the inch upon the boiler, for then only would the safety-valve lift up. There was a little steam blowing out when I got on deck, so that, instead of the 10 lb. pressure which we had when we got under weigh, we had a pressure of 25 lbs. The main steam pipe has given way—it is jointed, and the explosion has lifted it out of the socket. It was only fastened by a packing, in the customary mode, with cast-iron steam pipes. Messrs. Samuda were under a contract to use up such parts of an old engine as was fit for the purpose. By the CORONER—The cast-iron pipes, the air pumps, &c., used were of that old material. By a Juror—l am not aware of the conditions of the contract. I should think that the Messrs. Samuda need not employ any part of the engine that was defective. The CORONER, said that now, as he understood the case, there did not appear to be any bursting, but a giving way, if he might say so, of the socket. By a Juror—The socket wa s fourteen or fifteen feet from the boiler, and had the pressure never been more than 101 b., there would have been no danger in working with such a joint, but with the increased pressure it was not safe.' The CORONER did not see how the same accident should not happen every day, if the main pipes were only connected with the engine in the way described ; and if the witness, as a practical man, would mention some other way more safe, they should feel obliged to him. Mr. Low's examination continued.--The state of the engine could not be seen for above an hour and a half, in consequence of the dense volume of steam there. If Mr. Samuda had remained where I left him, beneath the joint, the steam would rush upon him at its first escape. The deaths of all would, no doubt, be instantaneous. Some men escaped. Holes were cut in the deck to get at the deceased persons; but, as I have said, it would be more than an hour and a half before the first of us could go down. I have no doubt it was entirely accidental. By James Pim, jun., Esq., of Monkstown Castle, who appeared for the Brothers Samuda—The cause of the accident was not in any way to be attributed to the construction of the engine or boiler, neither had the material itself of which the steam pipe was composed anything to do with it. The sole cause in my opinion was the mode in which the joint was made. I could not, however, with the same pipe resist any possible pressure of steam that these engines could generate ; but, by altering the pipe, I could make it capable of withstanding any pressure. The CORONER said there was no question of the solidity of the engine or material, the only question was in the socket itself; and he wished to know if any person in court differed from the witness as to the cause of the accident. None appearing, the inquest was adjourned till Saturday next, at 10 o'clock. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1844. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's, from their agent at Gibraltar, dated the 4th of November : " By private intelligence received here from Morocco, it appears that the state of that country is very unsatis factory, particularly in the neighbourhood of Mogadore, where there was a scarcity of provisions, owing to the disorders amongst the Kabyles in the interior. How ever, very little reliance can be placed on such unauthen ticated reports." NOTICE TO MARINERS.—POSITION OF THE PIER AT NAPLES.

COLONEL MAXWELL'S " ADVENTURES." - This work, which has been so long announced, from the pen of Colonel Montgomery Maxwell, commanding the 36th Regiment (brother of Sir Murray Maxwell). is to ap pear, we understand, in a few days, and' will, no doubt, create very considerable interest. The following is an extract from the Prospectus :—" These Adventures, (transcribed from the author's manuscript journals) will comprise the facts and experiences of more than twenty years of a life spent amidst the most stirring scenes, and in immediate connexion with the most im portant and interesting events that have agitated Europe during the most remarkable period of modern history. They will include the minute details of the writer's many Louise, King personal interviews with the most disti n g uished crowned heads, male and female, of Europe ; among others, hers ki t n h g e ofspai Emperor n, te r Napoleon, ope: theueQueen Caroline Empress Marie o f En Joachim of Naples and his Queen , the King and Queen of Sardinia, the king and Queen of Etruria, the Em peror of Austria, the Archduke Charles, the King of Prussia, &c. The following are among the various countries (besides England), the manners and customs of which are illustrated in the course of these Adventures, namely, Italy, Sicily, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, the West Indies, North America, &c., in each of which the author resided under circumstances which necessarily imparted to him the most intimate knowledge of their people, their manners, and their social and poli tical institutions." THE MATHEW FUND. -- Yesterday evening a meeting was held in the Hall of the National Associa tion, at half-past eight o'clock, for the purpose of adopt ing measures, in conjunction with the several other bodies formed for the alleviation of the pecuniary em barrassments in which the Rev. Theobald Mathew had been involved by his exertions in promoting the cause of temperance amongst his countrymen more immediately, and generally amongst all classes in Great Britain. The , Rer. J. Janel having been unanimously called to the chair, proceeded to dilate, at considerable length, an d with much' powe r , upon the benefits which Mr. M a th ew had conferred up on the community, and the vast sacri .fices he had made, both of personal ease and f am ily affection, and concluded by expressing an ardent hop e th a t Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotchmen, and Germans, hi s (Mr. Janel's) own countrymen, would unite, heart a n d hand, to rescue so noble and pure-minded a philan thropist from the painful pecuniary difficulties in whiol his own generosity alone had placed him. A series of resolutions, embodying the anticipations of the Chair man, were adopted with Reclamation, after which the meeting separated, MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 12.) SUGAR.—T© day all descriptions of West India Sugar were in excellent request. Merchants manifested firm ness, and have obtained prices 6d per cwt above those of Friday ; the business transacted would have been to a larger extent, had the assortment at market been better ; the Sugar on show consisted principally of brown low grey and dingy yellow ; there are many orders unexecuted for good and fine yellow sort, the stock of which is smaller than has been the case for some years at this period. The total purchases amounted to 800 hhds, including a public sale of 100 hhds of Barbadoes, which went off at very full rates, and the biddings were spirited, fine yellow fetched 665, good 6ls to 645, good mid 60s to 60s 6d, mid 57s to 595, and low 54s 6d to 56s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—To-day numerous purchases were made in Refined Goods by the home trade, and a further advance occurred in prices, indeed the market was nearly cleared; brown lumps fetched 71s 6d to 725, and Standard lumps 72s 6d to 73s per cwt ; at these rates it was even diffi cult to purchase towards the close of business. For bonded crushed Sugar prices are again higher, sales having been made for forward delivery at 29s to 29s 3d per cwt. _ MAURITIUS.—This afternoon some parcels were sold privately, at prices rather above those of Friday. There was no public sale, and the stock is nearly all in the dealers' hands. The supply is not ample for the in ising wants of the trade. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the only public sale of Bengal was that of 134 bags, which went at 57s to 57s 6d for washed yellow, 65s to 67s 6d for grainy ditto, 46s for sound brown, 40s for low ditto, 39s to 403 for damp and washed, and 61s for damp white. By private con tract there was a good deal doing at further advanced rates—white fetched 60s to 68s, yellow 55s to 635, and superior 64s to 70s per cwt. There was a better demand for Manilla Sugar by private contract, prices advanced 6d per cwt. MoLAssEs.—West India of good and fine quality are held for previous rates, but little business has been transacted, there has been more inclination to sell low and middling sorts, and 20s to 22s per cwt have been accepted for small parcels, being barely former prices. For East India there has been scarcely any demand, and parcels are offering at low prices. To-day there was rather more demand for West India Molasses, and former rates were paid. SAGO has been in good request by private contract at firm rates; low at 13s to 14s, middling 15s to 17s, good middling and fine 18s to 24s per cwt. Of Arrowroot 95 pkgs were partly sold at public sale; Bermuda at 8d to Is 24d; Jamaica, 4s to 6d; St. Vincent's 41d to 6d. 20i brls of Tous-les-Mois, Gd. 96 brls of Tapioca 41d per lb, and 10 chests Cuba Honey 34s to 38s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day the inquiries were numerous for yellow Havannah Sugar from shippers and speculator; ; the rates offered were 6d to is per cwt above those of this day week, but business of consequence was pre vented by the chief holders withdrawing their Sugars from the market. For 800 boxes common greyish yellow 21s have been paid. Holders of white are not inclined to sell at present. For all sorts of Brazil stiffer rates are asked, indeed several parcels have been withdrawn from the market; there are several buyers at former prices, but no sellers. That the Havannah Sugar crop has been much injured there can be no doubt, and the next crop is not expected to be more than 600,000 boxes, whereas last season it was 850,000 boxes. COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was much better supplied with East India Coffee. The public sales com prised 3,532 bags Singapore Java, 1,689 bags Padang, 108 bales Mocha, and 961 bags Ceylon; the Java of sound quality was taken in above the value—good ord brownish at 38s, ord damp brown 335, very ord brown 32s ; the sea damaged, amounting to 182 bags, sold at moderate rates , first class at 28s 6d to 355, second 25s to 335, and third 21s to 29s 6d ; of the Padang 994 bags were sea damaged, these sold at low rates, first class at 23s 6d to 24s 6d, second and third 22s to 23s 6d, fourth 18s, sea damaged and repacked 18s to 225, but the sound was taken in at more than it was worth, good ord brown at 27s ; the Ceylon went off quietly, and a part only sold 6d under former rates—good ord pale went at 545, good ord bold rather colory 55s to 55s 6d, and ragged 48s to 51s ; the Mocha was all sea damaged, and sold at 49s to 675, being cheap. There is still little demand privately for Foreign Coffee ; at public sale 43 brls of Rio were taken in at 43s 6d to 44s for fine ordi nary colory. TEA.—The market has still a firm appearance for nearly every desciption of Tea, and none has been offered at public sale. Holders of Congou show firmness, and have obtained former rates ; there has, however, been less demand from the trade, and few purchases have been made by speculators—of fine the supply is scanty, and of ordinary qualities few parcels are offering for sale—common at 10id to 11d, good common 1 lid to Hid, mid coarse is to is Old, but mid and mid blksh leaf Is Id to is 2, d, good blkish leaf is 3d to Is sd, fine is 6d to is 9d. Pekoe flavour is Is 9d to 2s 4d, and very rich 2s 5d to 2s 6d per lb. Pouchong has met with increased attention—clean has been selling at 6d to 9d. Scented Orange Pekoe is fetching 3s 4d to 3s 4d—the stock is nearly all in second hands. Hyson has met with eager pur chasers, and further advanced rates are paid, common fetching 2s 6d to 2s Bd, but mid and mid 2s 9d to 3s, and superior 3s 2d to 3s 6d. For Imperial and Gun. powder there has been a good demand. To-day there was not much business transacted in Teas, but prices were supported ; common scm' Congou for cash was with difficulty to be purchased under cold per lb. SPICES.—This afternoon white Pepper was in request, and 50 bags good bold heavy at public sale were sold at GO, and one lot low middling 41(1 per lb, being the former value. For Nutmegs prices advanced ld to 2d per lb, and 39 chests two boxes at auction were all sold : Singapore fine brown bold fetched 4s 28 to 4s sd, good 3s 9d to 4s ld, good middling 3s 7d to 3s Bd, mid 3s 6d, damp 3s 8d to 4s Id, worm eaten is 6d to is Bd, mouldy 3s to 3s 6d. Cloves were not much in request, and 32 chests Penang at auction went at rather lower rates, fine bold bright at 2s 3d to 2s sd, good ditto 2s to 2s Id, damp 2s 2d. Of Mace 13 chests were sold at lower rates, good bold went at 3s to 3s 3d, and mid 2s 98 to 2s I Id. Of Barbadoes Ginger 46 bags were taken at 435. COCOA.—To-day West India was sought after, and stiff rates paid by private contract. At public sale 48 bags and 6 barrels of Trinidad were sold at 43s to 44s for middling red, and 42s per cwt for grey. Russ, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rum is not to be purchased upon lower terms, but the market has still a quiet appearance ; there are few home or L O. ee P w . , a r a d n s d a 5 are 4d h e l t d o with firmness, but at present there are few orders ; ex port purchasers ; the market is but moderately supplied, especially with the better qualities : 35 10 d to 5 s per so cent r ts. superiorthehe 2s 4i-d to 2s 5d is the value of proof strength : at 2s 4d g6salfloonr is valu g of h 3 to flavoured 36 per there are, however, several purchasers. Demerara at 3s 3d to 3s 6d for strong qualities. Calcutta, 2s 2id to 2s 3d. For Leeward Island Rum prices are 8d to 9d, and Jamaica is to 2s per gallon higher than they were in 1843. For Brandy the demand has been brisk for the best description ; inferior kinds are in good request. Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds at 5s 2d, puns 5s ; ditto, 1839, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d ; ditto, 1840, hhds 4s lid, puns 4s 9d ; ditto, 1841, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; ditto, 1842, hhds 4s 7d, puns 4s 5d ; ditto, 1843, hhds 4s sd, puns 4s 3d ; common 2s 10d to 3s 2d, and mid to good mid 3s3d to 3s 10d per gallon. Of the vintage of 1843 the quantity in the market is small. Geneva shipping sort at is 9d to Is 10d, and fine 2s 4d to 3s 6d per gallon. English Corn Spirits at lOs 2d per gallon, cash. RICE.—A good demand has existed for yellow Madras Rice by private contract, and several parcels have been disposed of rather above former rates, 8s 3d to 9s per cwt having been paid, the supply has become small. Java at 9s to 9s 6d for yellow, 10s to lls for white, superior would fetch 11 s 6d to 12s per cwt, but there is at present none in the market. Bombay Rice, at auction, at lOs 6d to lls for mid white, and 9s 6d to 10s per cwt for sea damaged, being the full value. Bengal middling white was sold at Ils, and good middling to good Ils 6d to 12s per cwt. Cleaned, at 13s 6d to 18s for Patna, and 23s to 27s per cwt for Carolina. For East India prices are 6d to is per cwt above those of last season at this period. FRUIT.—The purchases made in Raisins were exten sive. New Red Smyrna in barrels fetched 455, cases 465, Elemo in cases 51s to 525, Malaga 40s, Sultanas 655, and Valentias 50s. The value of Turkey Pulled- Figs is 60s to 80s. Currants are much wanted : new Patras are fetching 49s to 50s, and old Island fruit 435. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal met with more attention, and 118 bags of Honduras at public sale were all sold at fully former rates, low silvers fetched 4s Id to 48 2d, and middling to good 4s 3d to 4s 7d per lb. INDIGO.—The dullness in the East India Indigo market has increased, and some holders are more in clined to realise; the home trade have purchased with much caution, and for exportation there are few orders ; the rates accepted show a decline on those of the last quarterly sale of 2d to 3d; indeed, ono parcel of 40 chests of Bengal has been forced off to close an account at a discount of 5d per lb, but at this rate there are not further sellers. Spanish has been little inquired for. TALLOW.—There has been a good demand for Russian on the spot in consequence of importers again submit ting to rather lower rates; 40s 6d to 40s 9d were the current prices taken for P Y Candle to-day. New South Wales at auction went at 38s 6d to 41s 6d. South American at auction at 37s 3d to 40s for good and fine quality.

With brown Seal the market is scantily supplied at present. Sperm at 88/ to 90/ per tun for British. Holders of Olive Oil are inclined to realise on account of the heavy stock ; Gallipoli at 43/ to 444 Spanish 41/ to 421, and Barbary and Levant 39/ to 401 per tun. Cocoa Nut Oil is wanted, and prices keep firm, 61 casks at public sale fetched 27s 6d to 28s 6d per cwt. American Lard at auction went at 40s to 41s. Palm has been in good request at former rates. Rape Oil pale at 355, and brown 34s per cwt. Lin seed Oil 23s 6d to 23s 9d on the spot. [ADvEmisEmENT.]—A POOR MAN'S LIFE SAVED BY HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—Jeremiah Laughlin, a porter about the quays of Dublin, was afflicted for years with shortness of breath, spitting of phlegm, night perspi rations, and general weakness of body, a want of appe tite, sick headaches, besides suffering much from the liver. This man was in the second stage of consump tion, and not expected to live three months, when he commenced the use of Holloway's wonderful pills, and by their means alone he is now as strong, as hale, and es well as ever he was in his life.—Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at the establishment of Professor Holloway, 224, Strand (where advice may be hat' gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised world. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday Mr. Cooper, the honorary secretary to the Waterman's Company, attended before the Lord Mayor to prefer a complaint against a man named Young, for having carried fish in his skiff from a vessel in the lower part of the river to Billingsgate, he not being free of the Waterman's Company. He stated that the free watermen of Wool wich and Greenwich, who had served their time, and were entitled to certain privileges, felt in a severe manner the consequences arising from the constant invasion of those privileges by men who had no claims at all, so that if they did not meet with protection from the magistrates of London, their means of support, already greatly diminished by a great variety of inevitable causes, must be altogether extinguished. James Dowse, a free waterman, stated that he re sided at Greenwich ; that on the 21st of October he observed the defendant go alongside a vessel which had fish on board ; and witness applied to the captain for an engagement to do the work. The captain said he did not want any man, as he had one (the de fendant). Witness said the defendant was not a free waterman ; but the captain did not care about that objection, and employed the defendant, who took the fish on board his skiff, and landed it at Billingsgate, for which labour the captain paid him, next day, the sum of 1/. is. The evidence having been confirmed by another free waterman, J. H. Howe (of the Waterman's Company) was called upon to prove that the defendant was not a freeman of the IVaterman's Company. The proof was given ; and The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant what he had to say in his defence P—The defendant declared that he considered himself to be as good a waterman as any freeman of the Waterman's Company. It was true he did not belong to that Company, but he had a license, which had been granted by the Elder Brethren of the Trinity, who informed him that it made him equal to any free waterman, and that he was at liberty to ply his fare, and do everything else they did. Mr. Cooper said the Trinity-house license allowed the owner of boats to carry passengers, but not goods. The LORD MAYOR said there was no doubt what ever of the violation of the law by the defendant, the ,very wording of whose license by the Elder Brethren of the Trinity proved that he was not empowered to carry goods for hire, whatever he might do with regard to carrying persons. As, however, the de fendant might not have known that he was actually transgressing, the penalty which the magistrate had the power to inflict should be greatly reduced. The defendant said he felt inclined to take the case to the Quarter Sessions. The complainant, Dowse, said the defendant, and other men similarly situated, not only constantly in terfered with that privilege of the free watermen, but added insult to injury by threatening to inflict per sonal chastisement upon them. The injury was the actual loss of the means of living. The LORD MAYOR said the defendant was con victed in the penalty of ten shillings. The defendant repeated that he wished to appeal. The LORD MAYOR—You had better consider well before you appeal. You must, if you appeal, produce this day security in 201. that you will prosecute the appeal ; and if you do not prosecute it, you, or your security, must pay that 20/. I have inflicted a very slight fine, when I had it in my power to inflict a penalty of 101. The defendant took the advice, and his promise to pay on Saturday next was accepted. A respectable elderly man, named Richard Hold ing, appeared to prefer a complaint against one of the crew belonging to the omnibuses which ply to and from Gracechurch-street. By some accident the wrong person was summoned, but that person also proved to have offended. His name was John Fox, and his badge number was 906. _ _ Mr. Holding, who described the affair in so lively a manner as to cause some mirth, said, " My Lord, as I was passing along the Cross Keys Inn, in Grace church-street, I saw several of the omnibus con ductors about the neighbourhood, and one of them, but not the man at the bar, came up to me, and, taking me by the shoulder, he said, I say, your name is Watson, ar'n't it ? Why, you are my father.' No, it isn't my name,' says I, and I'd be very sorry to have such a son.'—(Laughter.) So he shook me again, and said he knew I was his father. Well, I got away from that gentleman, but not far, when I saw the defendant, and who was one of the party. Why,' says the defendant, your name is Watson ; I know it is. You are Watson. You are a lawyer. I hate lawyers.'—(A laugh.) I again said that my name was not Watson. I know it is Watson, you old —,' says he, and he put his face up to mine ; and you are a lawyer, and I hate lawyers.' Now I am no lawyer; I am a miller."—(A laugh.) The defendant, who had all the appearance of a larking gentleman of the omnibus fraternity, denied that he had said a word of an offensive kind. The LORD MAYOR—The summons charges the defendant with an assault, which was committed by another person. If you can find the party who shook you I shall deal with him, and if you had summoned this man for using language calculated to lead to a breach of the peace, I could now fine him to the amount of 2/. As it is, I must discharge him. Mr. Holding said he should endeavour to bring the first offender, who called him father, before his Lordship. The LORD MAYOR informed the complainant that the police would render him every assistance. CLERKEN WELL. John Cayford, the driver of the cabriolet 742, was charged with having been drunk and assaulting Mrs. Louisa Meetydrd and Miss Adelaide Knight, the wife and sister-in-law of Mr. Horace W. Meet yard, barrister-at-law, No. 3, Verulam-buildings, Gray's Inn. Mrs. Meetyard stated that on the previous night, between six and seven o'clock, herself, sister, and husband, having dressed to go to a dinner party, she sent the servant for a cab to convey them thither. The prisoner came; witness and her sister got into the cab, but they had not proceeded more than a few paces when the door of the cab flew open. The prisoner, jumping down from the cab, said witness's servant had damaged the door in shutting it, and thereupon used the vilest language. Witness, being alarmed, told him to drive on, and she would hold the door. He refused, and said he would not go a step, and again used the most dreadful language. Witness, being greatly terrified, as they could not account for his frightful conduct, jumped out of the cab with her sister; they had no bonnets on, and their necks were bare. They had not gone more than a few yards when the prisoner ran after them, and seizing her neck in his hand shook her. He seized her sister in the same manner ; he demanded money, but she was so dread.. fully agitated that she could not tell what she said. Mr. Meetyard at that moment came up. She had not refused to pay him. Mr. Meetyard said, when he came up the prisoner had hold of both ladies, and Miss Knight was just on the point of falling in the mud from his violence; both ladies were terribly frightened, and were crying all night. They had not gone 50 yards from his residence when this conduct took place. He was mauling about the ladies shamefully, and witness gave him into the custody of a police constable. Police-constable 97- E captured the prisoner, who was drunk. Mr. COMBE—What have you got to say, prisoner ? Prisoner—What do I say ? Why, I know I did not use any bad language; but I have no recollection of the assault. I wanted my fare (Bd.) for taking ma from my stand. The prisoner's master was not present, but the yard. keeper came forward and gave him a good character. Mr. COMBE—WeII, Mr. Meetyard, it appears this man has a good character. I suppose you don't wish him to be very severely punished ? Mr. Meetyard• said he would leave it entirely to the magistrate. The ladies were shamefully pulled about. Mr. COMBE, after telling the prisoner that he had subjected himself to two fines of 51. each, and two months imprisonment, with or without hard labour, sentenced him to pay a fine of 1/. The fine was paid in half an hour after. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Anne AP Cormack, a young Irishwoman, was charged with stealing a sovereign, the property of Leah Aarons, her fellow-servant, at the house of Mr. G. Da Silva, a foreign merchant, who was deeply affected, and, on entering the witness-box, stated that the charge upon which the prisoner had been given into custody would sink into insignificance in com parison with that which he himself had to prefer against her, which was that of decoying away from her home one of his own daughters, a child only ten years of age, with a view of introducing her to a life of infamy. While at his counting-house, in the City, about noon on the preceding day, he received a message from his family, requesting him to return home instantly, as the child was missing, and, on reaching his house, and finding that that was the case, he, in, extreme anguish of mind, went in every direction he could think of, in all parts of the town, for several hours, in search of her, but without suc cess. On again returning home, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, he was informed by one of the other servants that, during his absence, the prisoner had suddenly 411M:4111:led from the house, and that a sovereign had been stolen from a box belonging to another domestic. Mrs. Da Silva also showed him a letter which had arrived by post that afternoon, addressed to the prisoner, and in the handwriting of his daughter, requesting the prisono to p rocee d to her immediately ; it hops in Charles -court, S t. Ikfartia4-lapp. rrevious to his seeing this letter, his eldest daughter, on being apprised of its contents, had, by direction of her mother, gong to Olt house in question, in the company of an upper-servant, an soon after returned, bringing the child with thew , which they had found at the house. The prosecutor here handed the letter to the cna• gistrate. It was written in a neat and rather elegant hind for so young a child, and was to the followag effect : 4, Charles-court, St. Martin's-lane. " Dear Anne,—l write to inform you that I have gl e e to the West-end, but I hope y ou w ill come t o - n ight, I du not know what I shall do without you; for, now have gone, I cannot come back. Come about serer o'clock. Now, do come, for Ido not know what I she' do without you. lam obliged to take any place till you come. I have no mo' (sic) to say, but believe me to re' " Your affectionate, " JULIA DA SILVA' main " P.S. Pray come." Policeman Marks, 61 L, said, that between fire and six o'clock on the preceding e v e n i ng h e was ac• coated by the sister of the little girl in St. Martin's' lane, and requested to go to the house in Charie r court, where they suspected the child to be. He WY mediately accompanied them to the house N 0... which he found occupied by a man o f a pp a rent re,: spectability, and who, upon being informed of F a l business, took him into one of th e ro oms an d points out to him the child there. The man t o ld him t'w, the child had been brought t o hi s h ouse by a worn living in Chandos-stnet, who told him that she applied to her for leave to write a letter in her housel and that she, believing from h e r e l egan t d r ess an . 1 manners, that she had run away f rom h0me,,,.. 1 % brought her there to be taken care of. era after the little girl's arrrival she had es," e ,, for writing materials, and a dd resse d the g o. ' ter already read to the servant, w hi c h a t her r e quest was put immediately into th e p os t. Witness ( policeman) remained at the door until six o'clo ck ' when the prisoner arrived and inquired for the chile , and as soon as she had done so, he took her into eusi tody. On asking her if she kne w an ything ab out the sovereign she positively denied all knowledge °, the money, but on her way to the s t a ti on said the the little girl had herself taken it out of her felluir j servant's box, and added, that the other servants ft persuaded the child to leave her home, and that sol had merely gone to the house to l oo k a ft er her, an bring her back. The child herself, who appeared very intelligen t, was then put into the witness-box, and stated that the prisoner had repeatedly importuned her to leave he r father's house, but that she had resisted her overture' until the preceding day, when she had agreed to g ° away with the prisoner that night. About NI however, the prisoner told her that she ( w it ne ss) mu st go on first, and gave her a sovereign for the purr of buying clothes and paying e x p enses; a fter W she placed her in a cab, and told her to go on to 11 ' s Strand and wait for her there. On being set down' the Strand, she became greatly alarmed, not knewd!!! where she was, and wandered into Chandos-street , "; the door in one of the houses in which she set woman standing, whom she accosted, and asked PS: mission to write a letter in her h ouse t o th e prison„ The woman, however, after putti ng some ques tions , a w her, took her to the house in Charl es - cour t, wherein" wrote the letter in question, and whe re s h e rerasio until she was rescued by her friends. eete The prosecutor here, in a state of great exciter.a said, that the landlord of the house in Charles-cou rt ' whom he had ascertained to be a re s p ec t a ble Toa had informed him that he had learn e d th a t a t: 61 2 1.,' ve keeping a house of notorious character in' the 07, - 1 court, had made arrangements for the r ec eption; the child, and was to give ten guinea s f or poss esS'°, of the child's person, and whose ruin wou ld h a ve bee effected that night but for her pre,vidential discoverc If the Magistrate would adjour ii th e case f or an othe r examination, he should be abl e t o b r i ng f orwar d the most positive evidence to that effect. Mr. I3INGHAM then asked the prisoner if she to say anything in answer to the charge ? The Pi o goner said that it was all a consp i racy entere d ja i against her by the other servants, that she never 0 0 1 the sovereign, and that she knew nothing whatever.% the letter put in, as, in fact, she could not read 14 _ 1 ", In answer to this, a pretty Jewess, 15 years of RI nursemaid in the prosecutor's service, was called, proved that the letter, which was inclosed in ae env" lope superscribed to the pri soner , was d e li vere d to 9j at her master's house at half-past one o'clock, !" be that she immediately handed it to the prisoner. b Aug afterwards found the letter lying 'pen upon i kitchen table, without it s envelop, and, as the Ili Boner had absconded, delivered . it to her mistress._ d ; reply to questions from the magistrate, the edolard stated, that the prisoner had on numerous ocean attempted to seduce her f rom th e h ouse i n or d er she should resort to a lif e o f prost i tut i on, b u t I n S she had indignantly rejected the prisoner's ;,rap v ;e3 nities. On one occa s i on , w h en c l ose l y Fe e ssed the prisoner on the subject, she declared she inform her mistress of the prisoner's ',conduct, p.. ran up stairs for that purpose, b u t th e ..: .oner p 4 sued her, and, seizing her a t th e read of the jeO P , flung her violently down th em , And used s uc h d n ful threats towards h e r, if s t ie divulged her offers her master or mistress, ttiat the witne ss had 1 0 " afraid to do so till the present occasion. Mr. BINGHAM said ; that he had heard quite eno to warrant him in remanding the prisoner, in to that a searching investigation might be made such an abominable transaction, and the officers ro•T h o between this and the next examination, make most rigid inquiries into all the facts of the case use strenuous exertions for its completion. The prisoner, who behaved with extreme bow' throughout the hearing, was then removed.
