SUDA.R.—Today the rites obtained for West India Sugar were equal to those of Friday, and merchants appear firm. The demand was however small for home consumption, cud only 411 hhds, &e., were sold, in cluding at auction 170 hhtls Barbadoes, a part only of which found buyers at the previous currency; good to fine yellow went at 36s 61 to 40s 61, mid 34s 61 to 365, and low 33s to 34s per cwt. REFINED.—To-day the home trade demand for Re fined Sugar is good, yet brown lumps were attainable at 44s to 44s 6d per cwt, there being still a plentiful sup• ply. For Crushed Sugar export orders remain small, and at previous terms they are free sellers. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon a public sale of 7,052 bags Mauritius Sugar proceeded quietly, yet previous rates were generally supported. Fine yellow selling at 37s to 39e; mid to good mid 35s 6d to 36s 61; mid 33s 61 to 355; low 32s 61 to 333; mid to good brown 22s to 30s 61; fine 315 to 375; common to fi ne gra i ny 31s to 375; good to fine grainy yellow 40s to 42s 61 per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced to operate in Bengal Sugar, but holders refused to sell at a reduction. At auction 1,500 bogs were nearly all disposed of. Fine white Benares went at 41s to 425; low to good 363 to 40s 6d; damp and washed 353 61 to 39s 6d; ord and low like Mauritius 31s to 335; mid 33s to 34s 6d: soft yellow 31s; and good grainy white 45s per cwt. Of Madras none was offered at auction, and little was done privately; in rates there is, however, no alteration. FOREIGN.—To-day purchases to a fair ex tent were 27111 40 in Foreign Sugar privately, still holders were dis- P 9 tod to accept last week's terms. Of Java 1,000 bas kets were sold for export at 19s to 193 6d for good grey; a c Argo of white Bahia at 21s; one yellow Havannah of fin "' q"itY at 22s for Bristol equal to number 14.

Of Gre na d a 124 b ags v.ere bought in at 36 3 to 373 for raid and good Found red. Privately a small parcel of the latt er of low quality has ben disposed of at 31s to ~23. Foreign Cocoa is rather more in request; Bahia and Para r ea li z? 26s to 28s; Guayaquil 30s to Ms per cwt. COFFEE.—This. afternoon Native Ceylon Coffee was held for previous rates, but a IClttatallee was manifested to operate for home consumption and exportation. Of 1,163 bags at auction a small portion only sold at 393 Gd to 40s for good aiid real good ord. The damaged went at 313 6d. to 38s 60. Of Plantation 105 casks sold at previous terms, but biddings were biguicl, low mid to mid went at 50s to 535; Triage 31s 60 to 40s; and Pea Berry 60. s to 615 61 Of Mocha 183 bales reali,ed 70a for mid clean garbled; and 45 cases Mysore 41i 6a to 42j 6d fur good ord. Of Tellieherry 322 caws, 1311 bales were only in part disposed ot"ttt ~ 1 _._~ THE SUN, easier terms; good to fine ord went at 40s to 46s 6d; ' Triage 30s 6d to 35s 6d and Pea Berry 44 s to 52 s 6 d; very ord 36a to 38s per cwt. TEA.—In Congou transactions have been upon a I small scale by home dealers and exporters, although rather lower terms have been accepted. Low quality has been selling at Bid to Sid, good ord 9d to Oid, imid blackish leak lid to 11(4, strong ditto is to is id, superior and Pekoe flavour is lid to is 6d. In Soechong purchases have been trifling, and there are sellers of common to mid at 9d to ls, good to fine is ld to is 7d, and superior is 8d to 2s; supply also continues to increase. There are few buyers of Oolong, and merchants are disposed to ac cept from lid to is 3d, and for fine 15 4d to is 7d. In the market for inferior and medium sorts of Green much dulness prevails, ann in consequence of the large parcels on offer prices haat) again given way. A fair demand has been expressed for good and fine qualities, but previous terms are readily accepted. In Scented and Pekoe Teas there is yet little passing, and prices have a downward tendency. To-day there was a re luctance to operate in Tea at the public sales, and former rates are supported with difficulty for Black and Green. Of 10,000 pkgs offered, only 2,200 actually found buyers. Rim—This afternoon rather lower rates were taken for East India Rice ; the consequence was that 5,320 bgs and 139 pks Bengal at auction were nearly all dis posed of—good white went at 9s to 9s 6d, mid 8s 6d, small broken 7s to 7s 6d, and damaged 6s to 8s 6d; but 633 bgs Madras were taken in at 7s to is 6d for sound pinkey. Of Sago Flour 661 bgs were bought in at 14s; but 117 chts Sago sold at 17s to 17s 6d for mid pearl. Of Jamaica Arrowroot 800 tins were taken in at bid to 7d ; 233 chts East India sold at lid per lb.

SPIRITS.—There is a reluctance to operate in East India Rum, and prices have slightly declined, sales having been made at is 3d to is 3i'd per gallon proof, and there is a more plentiful supply. Leeward Island is dull of sale, and can be obtained at is 4id to is sid proof. Operations in Demerara have been upon a small schle, and a desire is evinced to sell 32 to 40 over 2s ld to 2s 3d, and 28 to 30 over is 10d to 2s. There are few buyers of Jamaica for any purpose, and supply is on the increase; in the value of fine there is scarcely any variation, but prices are drooping for other sorts. For Havannah few buyers are to be met with, and Is 2d is the nearest value proof. Brandy has not improved in value, although a good demand prevails, but stock re mains heavy. Cognac, best brands of the vintage 1850: which has been most in request, realised 4s 4d to 4s 6d; there is, however, a desire to sell 1849 at 4s 7d to 4s 9d, 1848 ditto 53 to 5s 2d, older 5s 4d to 6s 4d, low to mid 2s 9d to 3s 9d, and Bourdeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d. The de mand for British made spirit brisk at 9s 5d to 9s 6d nett cash, and Gin 7s 10d for 22 under proof. SALTPETRE.—The demand is better for Rough, and prices have become firm; there is also a less amount on offer. Privately several parcels of Calcutta were dis posed of at 25s 6d to 28s 6d for low to fine. At auction 400 bgs realised 25s ed to 26s for mid lot to per cent refraction. British refined is in good request at 29s to 30a. Several purchases have been made in Nitrate of Soda at 14s 6d to 15s per cwt. INDIGO.—To-day 600 srns Guatamala Indigo were offered at public sale, and about two.thirds sold; good and fine sorts averaged former rates, but low and mid went ld to 2d lower; Sobres sold at from 2s 9d to 3s Bd, and Cortes 3s 8d to 4s 9d. COCHINEAL.—A good business has been concluded, and a small advance was obtained for Silvers; but prices have slightly given way for black. At auction 340 bgs Honduras were nearly all disposed of: low to mid Sil vers went at 2s 103 to 3s 2d, good to fine 3s 3d to 3s 8d; mid to good black 3s 61 to 4s; but 36s bags of Mexican Silvers were taken in at 3s 2d to 3s 3d for good. The value of black is 3s 2d to 3s sd; Teneriffe from 3s 3d to 31 10d. _ _ FRIIIT.—There is already a plentiful supply of new Valentia Raisins, and there are sellers at 37s to 38s, but the trade operate with reluctance; old, however, is wanted at 27s to 28s. A good demand prevails for new Currants at 425, and few parcels are in the market; old, however, met with a slow sale at 32s to 40s, and low 24s to 30s. There are law buyers of new Turkey pulled Figs, Sultanas or Muscatels, and 60s to 65s is the value. TALLOW.—There is less demand for Russian on the spot, and prices have receded, fine old yellow Candle selling at 388 6d to 395, and new at 39s 3d to 39s 6d per cwt. Only limited contracts have been entered into for delivery, and lower rates are acceded to ; sales having been made at 39s 6d to 39s 9d for last three months of the year : and at 405 for the early part 1852. Home melted, however, continues in good demand, and realises 378 64 to 38s net cash, but supply is plentiful. Other sorts are more plentiful, and rather cheaper. Of 1,100 pkgs South American at auc tion not about half sold at 33s to 38s 6d for low to fine; 330 casks Sydney—Mutton 36s to 395; Beef at 35s 6d to 37s 6d. _ . Ons.—Although Seal can be obtained at a further reduction, yet purchases have been upon a small scale—pale at 331 to 331 13s, and other sorts 301 to 321 lOs per tun. Cod is held for 361 to 361 10s ; but only trifling purchases have been made. South ern is, however, wanted, and supply being small, holders are enabled to obtain 311 to 331 10s for low to fine; but a decline is shortly looked for. A good de mand exists for Sperm at 851 to 871, but the market will be more freely supplied shortly. Lleadmatter is still selling at 921 to 911, and is scarce. Olive continues to find a free sale ; merchants have confidence, and obtain for Gallipoli 401 lOs to 411 lOs ; other sorts 391 to 401. Although Linseed Oil is to be obtained at 31s Gd per cwt ou the spot; operations have been limited by exporters and home consumers. For delivery up to the close of the year there are sellers at 30s 9d to 31s; and for the early part of 1852 at 308 3d to 30s 6d, still few contracts have been entered into. In Rape Oil a good business is doing, but at moderate rates; brown selling at 31s to 31s 63, pale 325; Refined Foreign 33s 6d to 345, Of East India Ground Nut 220 casks at auction were nearly all taken in at 31s to 31s 3d. Palm has been operated in with caution; and there are sellers of good to fine at 26s to 275. Cocoa Nut Oil is less wanted, and more desire is evinced to sell Cochin at 32s to 345; Ceylon 31s to 335; Sydney at 28s to 30s 6d. The value of Lard Oil is 423 to 455, and in small supply.

The Great September Sheep Fair was held yesterday on the Wollands, near Lewes. A more brilliant and unclouded day, from morning till night, has not been seen during the whole summer; and that, considering the extraordinary beauty of the season, is a great thing to say. About 27,000 sheep and lambs were penned, and at an early hour the arrival of many distant flock masters and dealers betokened that it was likely to be a day of business. This indication, we are happy to say, was fully borne out by the subsequent transactions. One of the com plaints frequently charged against our Sheep Fair is that no business can bo done in the morning, but that buyer and seller can rarely "come together" till after dinner. On the present occasion, however, matters wore 'a different complexion. Our visitors evidently " meant business," and after a little cautious, but perhaps needful sparring, buyer and seller fairly got to work, and many transactions were closed beforo all the sheep had arrived on the hill. As is pretty nearly always the case, the " top" lots were eagerly sought after, and of these—both ewes and lambs—sales were readily effected at satisfactory prices. There was likewise a brisk demand for strong useful ewes, of which the dealers from other counties were ready buy ers, at prices which, under all circumstances, were not to be complained of. Lambs of fair size and quality were also in demand at proportionate figures. Culls—both ewes and lambs—likewise found buyers at business-like rates. The demand for rams was on the whole rather flat, although some of our professed ram breeders were more fortunate, and effected numerous satisfactory sales. Among the lots which particularly attracted attention were a pen of ten score lambs belonging to Wm. Catt, Esq., of Bishopstone. They were allowed by all to be a " crack" lot, and were sold at 21s. 6d. Mr. Emery, of Thurston, had a pen of very fins ewes for which he obtained 38i. Messrs. Hampton, of Applesham, had a pen of 100 ewes, two score of which were picked at 425., being bought for the Duke of Portland ; the remaining sixty being sold to make up an average of 355., the price for which Messrs. Hampton had last week sold a similar lot of 100, to the agent of the Hon. C. C. Cavendish, Buckinghamshire. Messrs. Hampton had also a pen of nearly two score rams and rain lambs, about two-thirds of which found a sale, several of them being bought by the agents of the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Essex, and Lord Deere. Mr. Tanner, of Patcham, had some capital ewes, for the top lots of which he ob tained 305., and 225. for his culls. A pen of lambs were also sold by the same breeder at 225. We heard of but one sale of lambs above this quotation, viz.—by Mr. Thomas Eilman, who was enabled to score 245. as his figure. A pen of wether tegs sent by Mr. J. Hillman, fetched 30s. Among the general sales we heard quote d—C o l one l P a i ne, ewes, 245. 6 d .; R ev . J. Goring, ditto ; , 255. — Scrase, (Ditchling), ditto, 28s; n Susby, ditt o , 245; W. Tompett, ditto, 245., lambs, 18s. ; J. W a t ers, ewes, 295, lambs, 21s. ; J. Pagden, ew:- a, 25 3. ; Mr. Britton, ditto, 245. ; W. K. Sampsoll, ditto, 255. • Gorringe (Berlin), ditiO, 275., lambs, 20a. ; P. Gorringe, ewes, 2 8s. ; LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1851. W. Shoosmith, lambs, 205. ; W. Elpbick (Newhaven), ewes, 255. 6d., lambs, 20s. ; A. Denman, owes, 255. 6d ; Hardwick (Hangleton), lambs, 19a. ; Turner (Chinton), cull lambs, 17s. 6d. In addition to the above, a good many sales have been effected by our agriculturists during the last few days among their private connexions ; thus Mr. T. Boys sold a pen of very fine ewes at 505., his "seconds" fetching 30s. ; and this practice has, we understand, prevailed in many instances—we trust at equally remu nerating prices. By the above quotations, it will be seen that good ewes ranged from 245. to 305., and even 385., according Ito quality, lambs making from 17s. to 18s., 205., and 225. Culls, of both descriptions, of course went at a low figure; but these are just the sort of transactions of which no one is desirous of furnishing the records, and are, for all practical purposes, comparatively im material. Upon the whole, the Lewes September Sheep Fair of 1851 may bo pronounced to have been a good selling fair. There waa a brisk business throughout the day; and if the prices obtained did not range quite so high as in former years, we believe we are fully qua lified in stating that they exceeded what was expected, and may be considered satisfactory according to the times. Owing to the general briskness, business was concluded at an earlier hour than usual, and at about four o'clock the appearance of the peas showed that there were not many lots remaining unsold. Indeed, so far from sellers having to lower their pretensions as the day waned, we understand that the contrary was the case, the result being a very satisfactory clearance. LANDPORT ANNUAL SHEEP SALE. Mr. Ellman's annual sale of pure Southelowns took place at Landport on Saturday last, being, according to long-established custom, fixeel for the day preceding the Lewes great sheep fair. The attendance was not so numerous as usual, nor, as will be seen by the prices obtained, did the sale go off with the spirit that could have been wished, despite the special announcement at the foot of the catalogue that Messrs. Verrall and Son were " enabled to recommend the aged ewes most strongly to gentlemen wishing to breed rams, as they are the best ever offered by Mr. Ellman for sale." Among the company present we noticed Lord Berners, Sir H. Shiffner, Bart., Sir Edward Baker, Colonel Paine, John Day, Esq., J. G. Blencowe, Esq., G. Molineux, Esq., Woodhouse, Esq., Wilson, Esq. (Cheshire), Rositer, Esq., Messrs. C. Burrell, T. Boys, E. Cane, A. Denman, T. Ellman, G. Ellman, F. Ellman, G. Farncombe, S. Grantham, Gamble (Norfolk), Harvey (Stanmer), H. Hart, Scott Hayward, Lane (Alfrison), W. Rigden, Sadler (Levant), Shoosmith (Berwick), W. Tanner, Ward (Burham), Jones, Webb (Babraham), Withers, &c., &c. The sheep were conveniently arranged in pens on the lawn in front of the house, and were carefully inspected by intending purchasers, as well as by those who came to look on rather than to purchase. According to custom, a handsome collation was served in Mr. Ellman's resi dence, of which, without exception, the assembled party were hospitably invited to partake, prior to entering upon the more important business of the day. Messrs. Verrall and Son, who by a sort of prescriptive right wield the hammer at these sales, commenced pro ceedings by offering the first pen of five full-mouthed ewes, which were speedily knocked down to Mr. H. Hart, of Beddingham, at 80s. a head. Mr. E. Cane secured a similar lot at 755., Mr. A. Denman coming in for a third pen at 7 Os., the fourth and last pen of five being bought by a gentleman named Woodhouse, from a distant county. Lot 5 was a pen of ten full•mouthed ewes of which Mr. A. Denman was the buyer at 585., the second lot falling to Sir Edward Baker at 505., Mr. Denman again coming in for the succeeding lot at 525. After this the prices declined, and 485., 405., 375., 335., 30s , and finally 295., were the figures appended to the subse quent lots. The shearling ewes commenced at 585., Mr. Denman buyer; Col. Paine secured the next lot at 505., after which there was a sudden fall to 445., 425., and 405., the remaining 100 sheep going at prices gradually from 375. even down to 275., notwithstanding that buyers from distant counties were competitors. The rams for letting were then brought forward; but although the number on the card was limited, they more than sufficed for the demand, only three being hired, viz., one at 121. 125., by Mr. Woodhouse; a second by Mr. Gamble, at 131. 2s. 6d ; and the third by Mr. Rigden, at 231. 2s. In the rams for sale but little was done. A three year old, bred by No. 5, fetched 6/. 65., and one or two others were knocked down at 41. 4s. In fact, there seemed no sort of competition for this class of animals. On analysing the prices obtained, the average appears to be as follows: AVERAGES. per head. First 4 lots of 5 full-mouthed ewes... £3 11 3 13 lots of ten ,f „ ... 2 0 10 15 „ „ shearling ewes General average of ewes 2 1 5 If the results of the sale were not equal to the expec tations that might naturally have bean formed, or to those of former years, there was, at least, one part of the proceedings connected with the Landport sales which was not allowed to fall short of previous occa sions. The hospitalities which were wont to distinguish Glynde were duly renewed, and a large party of friends, and of the " buyers," were handsomely entertained by Mr. Ellman at dinner.

Thiers is recruiting himself after the fatigues of the season at the watering-places of the Py renees. The illustrious statesman makes long excursions to mountain peaks, and through ravines, bent on geological re searches. On a recent occasion he was very near falling a victim to the ardour of his pursuits. It appears that M. Thiers's favourite dress, in his character of mountaineer, consists of an entire suit of nankeen—blouse, trousers, jacket, and even cap, are all yellow. On the 22d of last month he was making a reconnoissance on the edge of one of the precipices of the Pyrenees, when he heard suddenly the report of a rifle, accompanied by a certain uncomfortable hissing sound just above his head, which speedily brought the historian of a h un d re d b att l es i nto a very h um ili a ti n g position—a plat venire on the ground. He concluded that he was about to be made a prisoner by the contrabandists, and in mortal agony crouched am ongs t the b rus h w ood, Turn ing out of his hiding-place, however, he saw presently ap proach a band of sportsmen, w h o h a d , not very unnatura lly, when one considers the man and the nankeens, mistaken the ex-Minister for a chamois, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBUIIii.) There was only one case in the list for a cboice of assignees. IMPORTANT TO WITNESSES IN BANKRUPTCY. EX PARTS . An application was made in a case in which a party had been summoned from Bristol to be examined at a private meeting touching the affairs of a bankrupt. The witness demurred to attend unless first paid his costs, which were refused by the solicitor to the as signee in the present stage of the proceedings. His Horsoua asked whether the party was merely called as a witness, or whether to undergo examina tion as to whether he was possessed of property be longing to the bankrupt's estate. The Solicitor to the assignees said the witness had been summoned generally to give evidence. His HONOUR said, that on the question being raised before the Lord Chancellor, his Lordship said that where any doubt existed as to the position which the witness might stand in, the witness ought not to be paid his expenses before he had given his evidence. His Honour said that the decision was founded on the proposition that the party summoned might be proved to have concealed or improperly held in his possession property belonging to the estate, in which case it would be against every principle to allow him his ex penses. Ttie witness must be sworn, and if there had been no impropriety on his part, the expenses would be allowed, and the party bringing him before the Court must guarantee the payment. The parties then retired. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 22. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—IN THE MATTER OF JAMES ELLIS. This insolvent, who had formerly been lessee of Cremorne Gardens, applied to be discharged. Mr. Cooke supported. It appeared that the insolvent bad been a bankrupt, and had obtained his certificate. He was now in pri son on a bill of exchange, arising out of his bank ruptcy. He had latterly kept a refreshment-room at the Chinese Collection, Hyde-park-corner. Mr. COOKE said the insolvent had a speculation connected with the Great Exhibition, which was a complete failure. The insolvent had taken a refresh ment-room near Hyde-park, by which he lost, or rather his creditors, a good deal of money. The insolvent stated that he took 1 ls. 61, and had to pay 121. 103. a week for the refreshment-room. Mr. COOKE referred to the schedule, in which some debts appeared on account of the speculation. The insolvent had lost a good deal of money by the Cre morne Gardens, and he also had the Flora Gardens. In a subsequent part of the day an application was made for an adjournment, to describe the insolvent as of a casino, and to re-advertise. The case was adjourned to the 12th of November, and the discharge on bail enlarged. IN RE THE REV. JOHN GRAHAM PACKER. This insolvent, the incumbent of Peter's Church, Hackney, was opposed in person by a creditor named Bird. Mr. Cooke supported. The insolvent stated that his income was 2901. a year. From the church he had 2001. a year by en dowment, and about 401. from fees. He was chaplain at Warburton Lunatic Asylum, which brought him 501. a year. He had a family of eight children, and was a widower. Mr. COOKE informed the court that some years ago the insolvent was connected with some persons in raising money, which had involved him, and be had paid large sums for interest. The opposing creditor complained that he had lent 6101., and was now a creditor for a large amount. He denied that he had received large interest. It appeared that the insolvent had paid 1001. a year for four years for his creditors, and being sued he had petitioned the Court. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER thought that something should be done for the creditors. There might be a sequestration issued. Mr. COOKE said that there could be no sequestra tion, as it was not in the nature of a benefice. The insolvent was discharged forthwith. IN RE CHARLES FIXAY. This insolvent, an estate agent, was opposed by Mr. Cooke for Sir John Hare. Mr. Nichols supported. An application was made for possession of some pre mises, of which Sir John Hare WO4 the landlord, but now in the possession of a third party. The Chief Comsusslosuut declined to order pos session. The insolvent was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Lennard, a well-dressed man, who said he was graduate of a Scotch university, was brought before Alderman Moon upon several charges. The prisoner walked into the Queen's Head Ta vern, in Darkheuse-lane, between one and and two o'clock on Friday, and dined, and stayed in the house till a quarter to five. He then coolly told the land lord that he could not pay, as he had lost his purse ; said that he lived at No. 6, Myddleton-square ; re• quested the loan of 4d. to pay his omnibus fare, and declared that he would call next day and settle the account, amounting to 2s. Bid. On Saturday he appeared again in the neighbourhood, and was taken into custody for similar misbehaviour at other houses. The keeper of an alehouse on Fish-street-hill said that on reaching home on Saturday he saw the prisoner in front of the bar indulging himself with a cigar, a savaloy, and a glass of ale. Upon being asked for payment the gentleman said he could not discharge his bill, as he had left his purse at home. The landlord told him that the shopkeepers in the City did not relish that way of settling accounts, and followed him to a cigar shop, at which he had called on Tuesday night, asked for three cigars, and began to smoke one of them, and then said he had no money about him, and that his word must answer in payment of the claim. He had subsequently called and asked the owner of the cigar shop whether she was a mar ried woman, and upon receiving an answer which was not agreeable to him, used language for which he deserved to be kicked out of her premises. The policeman, who took the p r i soner i n t o cus t o d y found in his pocket 93. 21d. The ALDERMAN—What account can you give of this business? The prisoner —I am a highly respect able person in my habits and associations. lam a teacher of languages, and have been educated in a Scotch university, and assure you that I have no no tion of defrauding those persons. The ALDERMAN—How did it happen that you walked into their houses, ordered whatever you wished for, and walked away without paying any tbing? Prisoner—Well, the fact is I was in liquor on Saturday and on Thursday, and I could not exactly tell what I did ; but I am positive the first complainant exaggerated the demand. I was just going to call at his house when the officer, to my surprise, took me into custody at his threshold. The ALDERMAN—You have committed several offences. Prisoner-1 am going to a situation on Thursday, and I am willing to selle with these people if you will allow me. The ALDERMAN—"YOU must pay these com plainants, and as you are a respectable man you can find no difficulty in procuring two sureties in 201. for your good behaviour for six months. Prisoner—l shall get two merchants of the city of London to bail me. The ALDERMAN—But as you falsely stated that you lived at No. 6, Myddleton-square, you must g i ve 24 hours' notice of bail, lest they should prove to be like yourself.—(A laugh.) M'Kay, Norton, Mackey, and Jones were brought up for final examination, upon the charge of having robbed a lady as she was going on board a steamer. Mrs. Taylor, of North-street, Herne Bay, said— On Saturday week, as I was hurrying on board the Herne steamer, I felt a pressure from the crowd. Soon after I got on board, and when we were on our way, I missed my purse, in which were a sovereign, two half-sovereigns, and some silver. Scott, of the detective City police, who apprehended the prisoners all together in a public-house, in I3otolph lane, immediately after the robbery, having observed them trying the pockets of several on the wharf, pro duced a purse which he had taken from one of them. The lady at once identified the purse, which was found to contain the exact money she had described. The prisoners were committed for trial, and in formed that the City Solicitor should receive instruc tions to prosecute them. Robert Spencer was placed at the bar, before Al derman Moon, charged with defrauding several coun try females oitrifling sums of money, under pretence of showing them the way to the Westminster steam boats. From the statement of the several parties it ap peared that yesterday morning they were desirous of proceeding from London-bridge to Westminster bridge, and not knowing the way they asked the pri soner, who was standing in Thames-street, which was the way to the boat, when the prisoner said he would take them to the proper boat to take them to Westminster-bridge, the fare for which would be 2d. each, one penny of which they would pay to him, and the other penny whem they got on board. The parties believing his statement paid him the penny each. The police-constable who took the prisoner into custody said the prisoner was constantly loitering about London-bridge, and accosting country people. Alderman MOON said he would discharge the pri soner, as it appeared the parties consented to give the money, but if he was brought there again ho should commit him for 14 days. GUILDHALL. Mrs. Simmons, who has for many years past re sided in that abode of iniquity, Field-lane, Holborn hill, was plac e d at th e bar before Alderman Sidney, charged with having unlawfully in her pobthesaim large quantity of black silk, value about 301., sup- ' posed to he stolen, and of which she did not render a satisfactory account. Mr. Norton appeared for the prisoner. David Hewitt, 233, said—l received information on Saturday afternoon which induced me to go to Castle-street, Holborn, with another officer of the name of Nicholls, whom I placed to watch the en trance to the Castle Tavern. I then went on to my beat in Holborn-hill, when I saw prisoner's husband go down Bartlett's-buildings. I returned to Castle street, and had not been there more than two or three minutes before I saw the prisoner come out of the Castle with three rolls of black silk wrapped in a handkerchief on her arm. I followed her through Norwich-court, Fetter-lane, into Bartlett's-buildings, and there stopped her, and asked what she had in the bundle she was carrying. She said, "It is only a bit of silk." I asked her where she obtained it, and she said, " My husband changed away some silk hand kerchiefs for it." I requested to know will the ex change was made with, and she said, " I do not know, but believe it was with a foreigner." I told her I did not consider it a satisfactory account, and wished ber to accompany me to the station. She said, " Oh, yes ; I'll go with you." At the station I asked her what quantity of silk she had in the bun dle, and if it was about 10, 20, 50, or 100 yards. She slid she did not know. It has been measured, and found to be 234 yards. Cross-examined by Mr. Norton—l bad made up my mind to take her into custody if she did not ac count for the silk satisfactorily. I have known her husband and herself for the last ten years, but never heard anything to their prejudice. I knew he was a housekeeper. I have not yet found an owner for the silk, but I have no doubt I shall if I am allowed time. John Nicholls, 240, said—Between three and four o'clock on Saturday afternoon I saw an omnibus stop at Holborn-hill, and the prisoner alight with a bundle on her arm under her shawl. I watched her into the Castle Tavern, and then waited outside. In a short time she came out without the bundle. I inquired of a man who had been in the house, who informed me that prisoner had left the bundle to be given up to her husband, who would call for it. I communicated what I had seen to the last witness, who went into Holborn and returned in about a quarter of an hour, and we watched the Castle Tavern together. I then saw Mr. Simmons in the public house, but did not see him enter the house, as the house is situated at the corner of a court, and has two doors. I looked down the court and saw prisoner coming up, and afterwards enter th• tavern. We waited a short time, when prisoner came out with the bundle on her arm, and we followed her into Bartlett's-buildings. She said that her husband changed the handkerchief with an Irish hawker who was going abroad, and at the station-house she said it was with a foreigner. Mr. Norton addressed the magistrate upon the in sufficiency of evidence to detain the prisoner any longer in custody. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said that prisoner was charged with having a large quantity of silk unlaw fully in her possession, and if the evidence was not enough to prove that the property was stolen, there was, he thought, sufficient to justify him to remand the prisoner, as the onus now rested with herself to prove that she had come honestly by it. Mr. Norton then applied for the prisoner to be ad mitted to bail. Alderman SIDNRY said he would accept her own recogniz3nces, on pain of imprisonment in default of her appearing, and two substantial bail in 801. each. Bail was immediately tendered, and the prisoner discharged. Ann Haman was charged with robbing a gentle man of a purse, containing five sovereigns, two half crowns, three shillings, and a fourpeany-piece, in Fetter-lane, on Saturday night. Police-constable 804 saw prisoner speaking to two gentlemen on Saturday night; he passed them, and on returning he received information that all was not right, and he followed prisoner accordingly. He saw her walking behind the same two gentlemen, and then cross the road and run up Fetter-lane. Wit ness watched her into the Parcels' Delivery Com pany's yard, in Rolls'-buildings, and took her into custody. On the way to the station she dropped a French purse, in which he found the money described in the charge. Joseph Brown, of 14, Fetter-lane, said—While he was shutting up his shop he saw the prisoner talking to the taller of the two gentlemen. She entered the door of No. 12, while the gentlemen waited outside, and when she came out they walked down towards Fleet-street, followed by the prisoner, who was im mediately joined by a man, who whispered to her a few words and then ran across the road, and pre tended to be looking in at the window of No. 81. Witness gave information to the constable, and pointed out the prisoner to him, and she was then taken into custody. The Officer said—At the station prisoner was asked how much the purse contained, but she was unable to say, and merely stated that it contained both gold and silver. Prisoner said the purse and money were hers, and they had been given to her by a gentleman who was keepiog her.—Remandod to find an owner for the money. THE OMNIBUSES AND TRH CRYSTAL PALACE.— A number of omnibus proprietors were summoned before Alderman Wilson for not having the table of fares painted inside their carriages, in conformity with the Act of Parliament. All that was visible was, " To or from the Crystal Palace, Gd." This, it was stated, was done to enable the driver to stop his carriage at any part of London he pleased —turn all his customers out, stating " he went no further," and make each one pay the 6d. fare, while he would return directly for another load, and serve them the same. It was contended that every pas senger, when he got into an omnibus had a right to know where he was to be taken to, and whether he paid 3d., 41., or Gd. Some of the proprietors contended that they had done all that the Act required of them by putting the one fare they meant to charge. Alderman WILSON said, he should not only protect the public against such tricks, but he would support the honest proprietor against the frauds of the dis honest ones ; for he knew full well from the innu merable complaints, as well as from practical experi ence, that the fares were so set out inside for no other purpose than to cheat the public. The omnibuses which usually ran to the Bank—and some even much further—would, at the close of the Exhibition, and more particularly, if a shower of rain came on, stop at Charing-cross, or Temple bar, or St. Paul's, and say ing, " We go no farther," turn the passengers out in the rain, point to the fare of Gd. on the door, and im mediately return for another load of victims. The proprietors had the privilege of charging what they pleased, either 4d., 6J., or 55.; but then they must at the same time say precisely what this was for, and, indeed, this was generally done, the disreputable por tion of the proprietors forming the exception. He would fine the defendants 20s. and costs in each case, and desired the police to continue their vigilance in bringing up every proprietor so offending. They had had a most profitable time of it, and as the fair was nearly over the public must have their turn. A man in the garb of a farm labourer was brought up before Mr. Alderman Sidney, charged with having driven two cows into Smithfield• market, contrary to the City regulations, he not being a licensed drover. Police-constable No. 2 said that about half-past ten o'clock that morning he saw the prisoner driving two cows into Smithfield-market, he not being licensed so to do. There was no driver with him. The system had been practised to a considerable extent to the pre judice of the regularly licensed drovers. The pri soner was in the habit of attending the market for his master, and was aware that he was infringing the market regulations. The prisoner said that he brought the two cows to Blackfriars, and his master gave him 6d. to get them brought to Smithfield, but as he could not get any drover to take them for Gil. he was obliged to bring them himself. _ _ Alderman SIDNEY inquired if the master himself could have brought the cows to the market ? The policeman said he might. The ALDERMAN thought that tobe a very anomalous state of things. He should have thought that if the master could do so, his servant might do so also, but be would not put his own opinion against the collec tive wisdom of the corporation. He thought, how ever, that a fine of ls. or 48 hours' imprisonment, would meet the justice of the case. BO IV-STREET. George Wyalt, cab-driver, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged with being drunk and incapable while in charge of his cab in the Strand, on Saturday evening. His Wonsnir said that the public were not to be run over by drunken cab-drivers, and fined the defen dant 205., or in default to be imprisoned 14 (lays. James Rilesly, formerly landlord of the Rose and Crown public-house, Drury-lane, was brought up in custody of police- sergeant Thompson, of the F divi sion, and placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with uttering a forged bill of exchange. Mr. John Rains, of Covent-garden-market, fruit salesman, stated that on the 24th of May last the pri soner prevailed on him to render him an accommoda tion by negotiating an acceptance of his (prisoner's) brother, at three months, for 101. 10s. On the 27th of August, the date upon which the bill became due, it was duly presented for payment by a person named Back, whom witness sent, and who was now at Mar gate, but the acceptor said the signature was not in his handwriting, and refused to take up the bill. Police•sergeant Thompson said that yesterday be apprehended the prisoner in Great Russell-street, Covent-garden ; and on stating the nature of the charge the prisoner inquired by whose authority he took him into custody ? To which witness replied that it was on the charge of mac. John Aikins, 'when the prisoner said, "It is all right," and went with witness to the station-house. Charles Rilesly, of Wellington-street, Goswell• street, m;lkman, :aid that he was brother to the de fendant, and authorised him to put his (witness's) name to the acceptance, but did not think he would be called to pay the money. When the bill was presented he was not in a position to pay the bill, and stated the fact that the signature to it was not his. Mr. HENRY—As he (witness) postively swears that he authorised him (defendant) to put his name to the bill, that disposes of the criminal part, and the complainant can sue the witness for the amount in the county court. The defendant is discharged. ~~-- ~- ----~ ;11ARLBOROUGII-STREET. SHOPLIFTING BY A FOREIGNER.-Puzzi Montagu, an Italian female, was brought before Mr. Bingham, for re-examination, charged with stealing three French cambric handkerchiefs, the property of Mrs. Susan Roberts, 41, North Audley-street. Thomasina Goss said she was assistant to Mrs. Roberts, who keeps a baby• linen shop. On Friday last, about three in the afternoon, the prisoner came into the shop, and Mrs. Roberts showed her some cambric handkerchiefs, and she selected five, which came to 15s. 100., and ordered them to be sent to Madame Victorina, No. 7, Albion-street, Hyde-park, with a pair of cuffs she had purchased. She then left the shop, and in a few minutes afterwards, and before any other customer came into the shop, she missed three cambric handkerchiefs, worth 12s. 9d., which were part of those shown to the prisoner. On the same afternoon witness went to Albion-street, and was informed that no such person as Madame Victorina resided there. On the following day she met the prisoner in Oxford-street, and gave her in charge. The handkerchiefs now produced are the same that were stolen from the shop. Crocker, 68 C, took the prisoner into custody on Saturday last, and took her to Mrs. Roberts, who identified her as the woman who had stolen the hand kerchiefs. Prisoner then offered to pay for them. Witness subsequently went to her lodgings, 18, Ra nelagh-street, Pimlico, and found the handkerchiefs produced lying on a table in the first-floor room. The above evidence having been explained to the prisoner by M. Grellier, the interpreter, she declined making any defence, and was fully committed for trial. MARYLEBOIVE. Yesterday John Owen, a stonemason, was brought before Mr. Long, for re. examination, charged with an assault of a most brutal and atrocious nature upon Mr. George Bennett, the proprietor of the Ben Jon son Tavern, Harrow-road. . Mr. nobler, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, attended to prosecute the case. The particulars which transpired upon the first occasion have already appeared, and it will be remem bered that the prosecutor was stated to have been so seriously injured as to be quite unable to come in the first instance to the court, and, in fact, was compelled to keep his bed for several days. Mr. Bennett was now present to give evidence. He seemed to be still in a very weak condition, and his forehead and other parts of the head were strapped up with adhesive plaster. He deposed as follows :—At ten o'clock at night last Saturday week I went into the parlour, where I sat down. The prisoner was then quarrelling with another man, and some other persons who were sitting close by walked to another side of the room. The prisoner then took up his glass and went over to them, and abused them in the grossest language imaginable. I told him I could not put up with such behaviour, and that he must leave, but he persisted in his infamous conduct. I again begged of him to the leave the room, but he coutinued his abuse, and took no notice whatever of the remon strance which I made to him. He had a glass of gin and water in his right hand, and as I feared from his manner that he intended to do some mischief I took it from him, and went towards the parlour door, thinking that he would follow me. He did not do so, and I laid hold of his left hand and brought him out side up to the counter, upon which I put his glass down, and told him that if he behaved properly he might stay there and drink what there was in his glass, but that he must not go into the parlour again. He made no observation to this remark, and I re turned into the parlour and closed the door, when just as I was in the act of taking my seat I was knocked down by some one, and at the moment thought I was stabbed ; blood flowed from me profusely, and I was for some time insensible; when I came to myself I found a surgeon dressing my wounds. Mr. Hobler—Was the prisoner drunk ? Mr. Ben nett—He did not appear to me to be so ; he was much excited ; but my belief is that he was sober. Mr. Samuel Norway, surgeon, 2, John's-place, Harrow-road, and who attended Mr. Bennett, de scribed the nature of the wounds which he (Mr. Ben nett) had received; one of them was two inches long, extending across the upper eyelid ; and a second wound had opened a small branch of the temporal artery ; there was another wound across the forehead, and two more slight wounds over the nose. The portions of a thick glass, by which the head of Mr. Bennett was so seriously injured, were here pro duced by Pamphillon, 115 D. In reply to a question from Mr. Hobler, Mr. Norway said that a glass of the thickness of that which was broken would, from the force of a single blow, be likely to have caused all the wounds which he had described. Mr. LONG, after giving the prisoner the usual cau tion, asked him if he had anything to say ? Prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that the glass was broken before it touched Mr. Bennett's head. He (prisoner) stumbled as he was going into the room, and if he hit Mr. Bennett it must have been quite accidentally. Mr. LONG committed him for trial for the serious offence of cutting and wounding, &c., but consented to take bail, himself (prisoner) in 1001. and two sure ties in 501. each He was not prepared with the required bail, and was locked up. WORSHIP-STREET. A well-dressed man, named Philip Smith, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged with having stolen a carpet hag containing wearing apparel and other articles, from the booking-office at the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Counties Railway. It appeared from the evidence that on the after noon of Monday last a gentleman named Bunn, re siding at Ipswich, arrived at the station with the intention of proceeding to that place by the first train, and having handed over his hat-case and carpet-bag to one of the porters, who deposited them in the booking-office, he entered the refreshment-room, where he observed the prisoner, who engaged him in conversation; but after some trivial remarks about the weather, abruptly left the place. A few minutes afterwards the prisoner was seen to emerge from the booking-office with the prosecutor's luggage in his possession, with which he was hurrying across the platform, when he was stopped by one of the atten dants, in answer to whose questions he stated that the gentleman in the refreshment-room, to whom the articles belonged, was an intimate friend of his, and that he had directed him to take charge of them. The prosecutor, however, on being referred to, having dis claimed all knowledge of the prisoner, or that he had ever authorised him to remove the luggage, he was at once given into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner now stated that he had gone to the station to meet a cousin of his who had come up from Colchester to see the Exhibition, and that he had acted under the erroneous impression that the property in question belonged to that person. • The prisoner was fully committed for trial. LIABILITY OF WATER AND GAS COM PANIES TO PAY LAND-TAX. It has long been held that water and gas companies are liable to be assessed to the relief of the poor in re spect of the land through which their pipes are laid, and in the case of the Chelsea Waterworks Company v. Bowley, 17 Law T., 284, the question was raised whe ther they were not elso subject to the land-tax. The case originally came before the Court of Queen's Bench in the form of an action for trespass, and by consent a special case was stated fur the opinion of the Court. For the defendant it was contended that inasmuch as it had been ruled in many cases that these companies were liable to poor -rate upon their pipes, they were also liable to the land-tax; for there is no distinction in principle between the me le in which the poor-rate and that in which the land-tax is imposed, and that clearly theirs was a holding of land or hereditaments within the 38th Geo. 111., c. 5, s. 4. On the other side, it was contended that there was no such analogy between rate ability to the relief of the poor and liability to the land tax. The Court held that " tho waterworks were not liable to be assessed towards the payment of the laud tax." The reason given in the written judgment was, that the occupation by the water-works was in the nature of an easement, and not of land. " The right in question," said the Court, "when exercised, appears to us to be in the nature of an easement, and not in the nature of the possession or occupation of land or hero ditaments. The right is to convey water through the land of another, whether upon the surface of the ground or in covered drains or pipes, is immaterial. This is a mere power to carry the pipes in the land, and cannot be considered as laud or hereditaments. The Land-tax Acts, in speaking of land and hereditaments, contem plate property to be let by a landlord to a tenant as pro perty the land.tax of which might be redeemed. The company are not owners of the land where the pipes lie, nor arc they the tenants of the land, and there is no rent from which they could deduct the amount of the assessment when paid." Thu Court then endeavours to obviate a consequence likely to flow from thi3 decision, and which we think will naturally follow it—the litiga tion of the question whether these companies are pro perly rated to the relief of the poor? " The cases," said the Court, " touching the assessment of companies to the relief of the poor, in r e spect of pipes for the conveya nce of water or gas, as occupiers of land have been much re lied on, and they appear closely in point; but we by no means feel ourselves at liberty to overrule those cases, or to express a doubt whether they we:e rightly decided. Laud, like the woad inhabitants, which likewise ocmrs in 43 Eliz., c. 2, has various meanings, and mg Qn ' statute, which was passed fur making a c harge UP de occupier, mean the ground on whic h the chattel is abet i h posited in the exercise of an ea , emen t, although s 0° 1: Ac;s of Parliament it means al. al int erest in g 91 4 1 This is the meaning, which we think it has in the tax Acts.—Law 7 :cries. -___----._ THE EPISCOPAL I.NCONES. the 8 Her Majesty has given her assent in Council to ~ cheme prepared by the Ecclesiastical Coratnissiolleol for regulating the inc.imes of the Archbishops /tie' Bishops of England and Wales, its pursuance of th e re of the 13th and 14;h Victoria.
