ZOOLOGICAL-GARDENS, REGENT'S-PARK.—The ever im proving establishment of the Zoological Society at tracted the most enormous assemblage of visitors on Whit-Monday which has ever been received there. From 10 in the morning - until late in the afternoon a continuous stream poured in, whose orderly conduct evinced the interest with which they were inspired by the collection for which the society is celebrated through out Europe. Upwards of 21,000 persons were ad mitted into the gardens hi the course of the day, and this number presents a very astonishing increase as compared with even 1851, when the maximum in any one day, as we are office ally informed, did not exceed 15,000. It must be extremely gratifying to the distin guished body who compose the council of this society to find that their efforts for diffusing the particular branch of knowledge which they cultivate have become so popular among the masses. The extreme backwardness of the season has prevented the usual display of flowers in that part of the garden which is particularly appro priated to this object; but we observed an abundant promise of good things to come. The collection of marine animals, which has been exhibited occasionally to the members of the society, will be opened to the public on Saturday next, and the notice to that effect appeared to attract great attention, as well as some dis satisfaction that the preparations were not already com pleted. There can be no doubt that the instructive and novel display of the animal kingdom will create greater interest than any previous labour of the society. RYE ELECTION.—The writ for the election of a mem ber for Rye was received at Rye on Sunday, and was duly proclaimed in the usual form on Monday. The nomi nation is fixed for Friday next, and the polling will take place on the following day. The town is all on the alert, and preparations are making on both sides for a severe contest. Owing to recent events very strong feelings prevail. There is no question but that Mr. Mackinnon (father of the late member for Rye), who comes forward in the Liberal interest, is the popu lar candidate. The circumstances which have transpired as to the disgrace ful means by which information was furnished . on the late inquiry, and the extraordinary part taken by the Tories in seeking to blacken and disfranchise the borough, have naturally created a powerful feeling against that party, and will no doubt produce a marked effect upon the canvass of Mr. Pomfret, who is said to be the Tory candidate.—Sussex A dvertiser. SENTIMENT IN THE DOCK.—The court martial as sembled yesterday, says Galignani, to try a man named Alexander Perrin, for a violation of the law of recruiting. The accused, it was stated, had led rather an adventurous life. In 1809 he was drawn in the conscription and entered a regiment of artillery. He served in Africa, and obtained the rank of sergeant. On his discharge, in 1847, he entered the schools as a law student. But being rather wild, his father, after a time, stopped his allowance. Being without resources, he, in March, 1848, sold himself as a substitute, obtaining a large sum on account of the grade he had held. He took part in the insurrection of June, 1848, and was condemned to transportation. He was sent to the pontons, but after some month's detention, was released. Instead, how ever, of fulfilling the condition he was under of serving as a substitute, he entered a notary's office as clerk. A warrant was issued for his arrest in 1851, but two years passed away before his residence could be discovered. When he learned that the gendarmes were after him he gave himself up. In his defence he stated that he had not joined the army as a substitute, because the agent de remplacement had told him that the young man whose place he had taken had been called on to serve. He also denied that he had really fought in the insur rection of June. As he was speaking a child cried, and on glancing round he saw a young woman weeping with a child in her arms. He fell on his seat as if overcome with emotion, and then rising, said, " Pardon me—but that is my child ! My father is angry with me because I wish to marry that young woman whom I have led astray—and because I have two children by her whom I acknowledge as mine !" The court, after a paternal remonstrance to the accused, condemned him to a mo nth's imprisonment. KING CHARLES' STATUTE AT CHARING-CROSS.—The hoarding which has enclosed the statute of Charles 1., at Charing-c ross modelling of for some months past, during the a cast of it for the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, h as been removed, the works being com pleted.

Longbow King of Trumps Thirteen ran SAPLING STAKES. Arthur Wellesley Barrel STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, MAY 17.—8 y the Arabia New York steamer of the 4th instant we learn that cotton had declined ic. at New York, and c. to tc. va the southern markets, on receipt of ac c,mnts hence to the 20th of April; middling being c i uoted at New Orleans on the 30th of April 'lo,lc. and freight to Liverpool td. per lb ; and at Mobile same date 10c. with freight to Liverpool, td. per lb. The receipts at the ports for the week show a decrease of 26.644 bales from the corresponding week of last year, and the telegraphic accounts in form us that those for the succeeding week are expected to show a further falling off of 15,000 bales. The exports to Great Britain also show a con tinued decrease, the total excess over last year being now only 90,000 bales, whereas on 6th February the excess was 32-1,000 bales. These accounts, confirming the continued decrease in the receipts, although quoting prices rather lower, have had the effect of hardening the Liverpool market, and the sales of yesterday and to-day are reported to be at the extreme rates of last week, and in some instances at a slight advance. In our market we have experienced an increased de mand both for yarns and goods. Warps and pin-cops suitable for the home trade, from 16's to 36's may be quoted fully !d. per lb. higher than on this day week, and other descriptions are in good request at extreme sates. The turn-out hands continues, and has extended to some mills engaged in the production of yarns for the home trade, the 71eAcriptions thus affected are becoming scarce, especially common 40's for India, for which quotations can scarcely be given. The active demand for light cotton goods which we have experienced for some time still continues, and in most descriptions of printing cloths and jacconets a slight advance oil last week's rates is obtainable. Longcloths and T cloths are rather more inquired for at full prices. Domestics, too, are more ready of sale. Rocim.i.LE, MAT 16.—The flannel market has not been quite so brisk to-day ; the merchants have bought more sparingly, at former prices. The wool market has been very quiet, and the manufacturers have nearly abstained from purchasing, they being deter mined to work up the stocks they have on band. The London wool sales, which open this week, have had their influence on deterring some from purchasing. It is now considered that the manufacturers have greater stacks of wool on hand than was generally supposed. HALIFAX, MaY 14.—We have again had a very dull day in our piece ball, and but little business has been done. In the yarn and wool markets there is somewhat of a lull, and no noticeable change, either as to prices or demand. HUDDERSFIELD, MAY 17.—The market has been comparatively dull to-day, not many heavy purchases have been made, which is perhaps partially owing to its being general holiday time. The supply is about even with the demandras stocks do not seem to increase in the hall. Middle qualities in black and fancy doe skins are the class of goods mostly in request. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. —John Brown was placed at the bar before. Mr. Alderman Hunter, upon the charge of having feloniously forged the name off William Simp son to :deposit receipt for 3001., and with drawing this sum of the North and South Wales Bank at Liverpool. A clerk from the office of Messrs. Roy and Co. appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Metcalfe, the barrister. Mr. David Ritchie examined—l am clerk in the secre tary's office of the Bank of England. I produce three Bank of England notes, one for 1001., No. 14,480, dated Liverpool, May 28, 1852 ; one for 501., No. 85,846, dated Manchester, January 26, 1852 ; and one for 501., No. 9,424, dated Manchester, January 3 0 , 1852 . These notes were brought to the secretary's office as being stopped. I saw the prisoner there, who claimed the notes, and said he had received them from the North and South Wales Bank, by signing William Simpson's name to a document. He did not say what document. The prisoner said his name was John Simpson, of the Victory-road, Stepney, where he sometimes went by the name of Brown ; and that he had given his name as John Brown on the notes. The prisoner at this stage of the proceedings made the following statement, after being cautioned that it would be taken down, and perhaps made use of as evidence against him :—lt is my own money. Simpson put it into the bank, and I could not get it out without forging his name. Simpson ih now away. I only did it to get my own rights. I should like to relate how I came to go to the bank and get the money, but perhaps Simpson may take alarm if he knows anything of this. He has been to Colchester and Ipswich. He placed some money in the bank, which I have an interest in. He took a yroung girl away with him from Colchester, and then w ent to Chester races. He gave me this bill (the blank deposit receipt), and I was very glad to get hold of it. This IKrs. Simpson will tell you if she is brought for ward. ,6impson is now in a vessel lying in Liverpool, going to iNessina. He thought to leave me without any money, whereas we were partners together in a coal field. Daniel May, an officer of the City police, said—On Friday last I was called into the secretary's office at the Bank, and directed 0 take the prisoner into custody. I heard him say that he , had been to various places en deavouring to meet with Simpson, and that he at last found Mrs. Simpson at 3.4iverpool, when she gave him the papers to go and take the money from the Bank, as she herself had done. He further told me that he went to the Bank on the Saturday previously, and signed the n ame of Simpson for the money, but that the people at the Bank did not like his signature ; that he then left the Bank and went again, I believe on the Thursday following, taking another person with him, and getting the money. He said, "I was to give it to Mrs. Simp soTt, but as it was my money, and I bad got it into my own hands, I thought I had better keep it." I then told him there was a deficiency of two 501. notes. He said, "I shall not explain as to where they are." There was another person in his company at the Bank, whom I asked if he had any money which he had received from the prisoner, and he gave me 20/., which lie said the prisoner had given him that morning, and that the prisoner °wad him nearly the amount. I believe the principal witn eases in the case reside in the, neighbour hood of Liverpool. I have heard that another person is now in custody upon this charge at Liverpool, and I believe the information to be correct. Mr. Metcalfe—W r hat witnesses are resident at Liver pool ? Witness—Mrs. Simpson and the clerk at the Bank. . . Mr. Metcalfe—Andwhat witnesses are resident here Witness—There is the clerk from the Bank of Eng land as well as myself. Henry 'Murphy—l am a detective officer of the Liver pool police. I produce a wafrant signed by John Smith Mansfield, Esq., a magb2trate of the borough of Liverpool, against the prisoner for feloniously forging a receipt for payment of money, I believe the prisoner to be John Brown mentioned in the warrant. I this morning asked the prisoner if his name was John Brown, when he replied that it was. I then told him that I was an officer from Liver pool, and that I had a warrant for his apprehension. I read the warrant to him, and told him there was a man named Mudd in custody at Liverpool, who had been connected with the case. The prisoner said to me that he had given Mudd 101. to go with him to the bank. I said to him, " Was that to personate Simp son ?" and he replied, " That will have to be proved hereafter." Either two or three witnesses went before the magistrates at Liverpool in Mudd's case. Mr. Metcalfe—How many witnesses were thero in Mudd's case at Liverpool ? Witness—Mrs. Simpson, a clerk from the North and South Wales Bank, and the officer who apprehended him. Mr. Metcalfe—ls it usual with Liverpool police officers to ask prisoners whether they have given 101. to one man to personate another ! Witness—l did not ask him first. Mr. Metcalfe—ls that the ordinary practice at Liver pool ? Witness—Yes. I very often see it done ; I very often do it. The clerk to the solicitors for the prosecution now applied to Mr. Alderman Hunter to allow the prisoner to be removed to Liverpool, in the custody of the last witness, in accordance with the warrant. Mr. Metcalfe objected to the removal of the prisoner from London, as it would entail upon him the heavy expense of taking his witnesses to Liverpool and main taining them there, especially' as there was no question, as he was instructed, that the money in reality belonged to the prisoner. Mr. Alderman Hunter said he felt it his duty to deliver the prisoner up to the officer who produced the warrant for his apprehension. GUILDHALL.—M. Leo Wertheimber a brandy mer chant of 14, Broad-street-buildings, was brought up for further examination, relative to the charge of uttering a forged acceptance to a bill of exchange for 1281. 10s., with intent to defraud M. Jean Valentine, a manufac turer of eau-de-vie, at Angouleme, in France. This case has been several times adjourned to enable the prisoner to produce "H. A. Weber," the alleged acceptor of the bill, or such evidence as would satisfy the magistrate's mind that the name endorsed on the bill was not that of a fictitious personage ; and yesterday it was stated that although Weber was in Germany, there were witnesses present who would identify his handwriting in the acceptance. Thos. Gibson Brewer, a solicitor, of Philpot-lane, said he knew a person of the name of Weber, who carried on the business of merchant for six months at 23, Philpet lane, under power of attorney, for a Mr. Gordelia, against whom witness was proceeding about that time. Jno. Wm. Muntch, a commission-agent, said he knew Weber, and had seen him in England within the last month. The acceptance to the bill produced was like Weber's signature, and witness believed it to be his handwriting. A letter was here put in, addressed by the prosecutor to a member of the prisoner's family, who are all highly respectable, offering to withdraw from the prosecution if he were indemnified for his loss, in supplying the pri soner with the brandies for which the bill in question was paid, and undertaking to forego his own expenses, if his claim for between 3,000 f. and 4,000 f. were imme diately complied with. Mr. Bush, who appeared' for the prosecution, said he had not heard of that letter having been written until yesterday morning ; but he wished the alderman to take into consideration the motives with which it was written. The prisoner had evidently become acquainted with bad associates, and the prosecutor knowing the high re spectability of the prisoner's friends, and at the same time taking a French view of the English law, offered to arrange the matter without carrying the case to trial, the French law permitting compromises, of that kind. Mr. Clarkson said he had satisfaetcirily shown that the acceptor of the bill was a bona fide personage, and the prisoner was, therefore, entitled to his discharge. Alderman Salomons said that after the production of the letter already alluded to, he should not feel justified in detaining the prisoner, even if the prosecution had maintained its ground on the allegation of the acceptance being a forgery. The prisoner was discharged. Thomas Slater, a dirty and ferocious-looking little man, about 40 years of age, was charged with commit ting the following brutal assault upon his wife: Sarah Slater, who appeared in court with a couple of black eyes, and face swollen and tinged with almost every hue of the rainbow, and a forehead covered with hospital dressings, said she was in her own room when the prisoner came in, and, without any provocation, struck her on the side of the head with his fist. She tried to get away from him, but he followed her round the room and struck her three times more ; not satisfied with having inflicted severe punishment upon her, he seized a large conch-shell, weighing several pounds, and hurled it at her head. His aim, unfortunately, proved too true, for the shell struck witness on the forehead with such force that it felled her to the ground, and, on being picked up, there was a large wound in the flesh from which the blood was flowing in great quantities. She was, however, taken to the hospital, where she was soon restored to consciousness, and had her head dressed. Alderman Salomons considered it a very aggravated assault, and therefore fined the prisoner 51., or, in default, two months' imprisonment, and further ordered him to find substantial bail to keep the peace for a further period of six months. HAMMERSMITH. THE RIGHT OE ADMITTING SOLDIERS INTO A CANTEEN DURING DIVINE SERVICE ON SUNDAY MORNINGS.—Mr. Thomas Williams, the landlord of the canteen in Palace-green, adjoining the barracks, and near Kensington Palace, appeared before Mr. Beadon, to answer the complaint of Inspector O'Brian, of the T division, for having his house open on Sundry, the Bth inst., before one o'clock in the afternoon, for the sale of spirits, &c., the same not being for the refreshment of travellers. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Sergeant Bradshaw, 20 T, said that about twenty minutes past eleven o'clock on the morning in qu estion he visited the canteen kept by the defendant, accom panied by a consteble, and saw a soldier leave the pre mises carrying a half gallon can containing malt liquor. On entering th e ho u s e he found two soldiers standing at the bar drinking, with a full pot of malt liquor. The defendant interrupted Sergeant Bradshaw, and said there w ere f our so ldi ers , an d not two, as he had mentioned. Hi s h ouse was no t th e canteen, but the suttling house for the soldiers at the barracks. Sergeant B ra d s h aw said there were f our so ldi er s, but the her two were at the back, preparing potatoes for cooking. Mr. Beadon observed that the defendant had admit ted serving by stating that there were four soldiers in the house, and wished to know what defence he had to make to the summons. The defendant said he bad served the military or the last 17 years, and this was the first complaint ever made against him. He was bound to serve the soldiers at the barracks while on guard with refreshments, by the direction of the commanding officer, and if he refused his conduct. would be reported to the Horse Guards. He had one of the sergeants of the Guards in attend ance who would confirm what he had stated. The Sergeant was then called, and he said he looked upon it as a matter of right that they should be served with refreshments, and he had never known the land lord of the suttling-house to refuse supplying them at any time of the day. Mr. Beadon inquired if it was not laid down in the Mutiny Act that the military should not be served dur ing Divine service The Sergeant said he was not aware of it being so. The Defendant said he was like serving under two laws. He had a licence from the Board of Green Cloth, at Buckingham Palace, and another from the magis trates. His house was not like a canteen, for, if it was, he would be under the control of the Board of Ordnance. Inspector O'Brien submitted that the defendant's house was under the same regulations as the other licensed victuallers' houses. Mr. Beadon said the subject was a new one to him, and ought to be settled for the guidance of parties here after. He had looked into the Mutiny Act, but could not find that any of the suttling-houses were mentioned. He should like to know the difference between a canteen and a suttling-house. The Sergeant, in answer to questions, said he knew there was a difference between them. A canteen was not licensed to sell spirits, but suttling-houses were. If he saw any civilians served in a suttling-house on Sun day mornings, or during the prescribed hours, he should make a report of it to the commanding officer. In a canteen they cleared the place of civilians, and were re sponsible for the conduct of the house, while in a sutt ling-house the landlord was responsible, and was bound to clear the house himself of civilians. Mr. Beadon was of opinion the statement of the ser geant was the correct one, and under the circumstances he should not interfere with the defendant as long as he continued to serve the soldiers at the barrcks, but if he served civilians, that was another story. However, the police had a right to visit the house, and if the defendant was foun d serving civilians he would certainly be punished. He dismissed the summons, but he should like to see the defendant's license from Buckingham Palace. The defendant said he never served any civilians dur ing the prescribed hours, but only the soldiers quartered at the barracks. He would forward the license for his worship's inspection. CHARGE OF WRITING A LIBELLOUS AND THREATENING LETTER. —Mr. George Jones, a surgeon, of No. 8, High row, Notting-hill, was brought before Mr. Beadon, on a warrant, charged with having unlawfully and maliciously published a defamatory libel upon Mrs. Elizabeth Tur ner and her daughter, Emma Turner, of Church-street, Kensington. A summons was issued in the first instance for Thurs day last, but on that day a professional gentleman at tended and solicited a postponement of the hearing until a future day, as his client could not then attend. The summons was then fixed for Saturday, and after the com plainant had waited an hour the defendant's name was called, but he failed to answer. A warrant was then granted, and Mrs. Turner said "that on the sth inst., she received a letter by post, signed by Jones, in which it stated that both her and her daughter were bad, and that he should publish bills giving their true characters." The defendant now apologised for not attending on Saturday, and said Mrs. Turner was willing to forego all proceedings. Mr. Beadon said he had read the letter, and from the nature of its contents he was bound to call upon the defendant to enter into his own recognisances in the sum of 251., to keep the peace for three months. The defendant did so, and, after paying 6s. costs, was liberated. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY is, 1853. AMENDED CUSTOMS' RESOLUTIONS.

A FOOLISH OLD WOOL DEALER.—Loss OF 1501. Last night, an elderly man, named Hunter, a wool dealer, from Dumfriesshire, was robbe d o f a pocket-book containing 1081. in Bank of England notes, and 42 sovereigns in gold. By his own account,. the old fool had been in company with two girls of the town, with whom he had some drink, and so adroitly was the rob bery effected, that he did not discover his loss until after he had parted with the ladies. He was found by the police in Great Clyde-street, and when brought to the police offioe was able to give a pretty correct aecount of his loss. The thieves, it appears, had not coveted silver, for they left him upwards of g worth, which he carried in his coat pocket. Hunter, it seems, was on his way to Ireland to buy wool, and, when he met with the ladies, was wandering about the Bridge-gate to pass the time until the sailing of the first Irish steamer.—Glasgow Chronicle. COAL IN FRANCE.—The surface of the coal districts in France is 280,000 hectares (upwards of 700,000 acres) and the produce 4,500,000 tons. 32,000 workmen are directly employed in the coal mines, but the' number connected with the works amounts to 60,000, who, under the form of wages, distribute 20 millions. The machines employed represent a power of 12,000 horses. In Belgium the extent of the coal districts is only 180,000 hectares, and nevertheless the production is equal to that of France. In England the surface is 1,700,000 Ihectares, and the production 35,000,000 of tons. France produces 1,606 tons per 100 hectares, Belgium 2,500 tons, and England 2,060 tons. This re lative inferiority of France arises from the difficulty there found in the working, which is much greater than in Belgium or in England, in consequence of the strata'of coal being much smaller in the French mines, and lying more deeply covered. In 1787 the native production was little more than 2 millions of metrical quintals ; in 1802 it was 8A millions ; it reached 10 millions in 1820 ; 18A in 1830 ; 30 in 1840, and now it exceeds 45 millions. From 1787 to 1813 the imports from Belgium remained below one million of metrical quintals ; in 1824 they were 4 millions ; in 1832, 5 ; in 1842, 10, and now they exceed 20 millions. Up to 1835 the importation of English coal remained very trifling, not exceeding 981,595 metrical quintals. In 1842 the quantity was 5 millions, and now it is 7 millions. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills, a wonderful remedy for bilious complaints, indigestion, and dis ordered stomachs. —Mr. Reardon, of Newcastle, who some time since retired from the legal profession in con sequence of ill-health, brought on by over-attention to business, causing great debility, nervousness, indiges tion, and a complete upset of the biliary system, together with palpitation of the heart, was persuaded by his friends to try Holloway's Pills, as all the medical advice that he had obtained was unavailing. He persevered in their use, and attended strictly to the diet as advised, and he is now perfectly restored, and his health is better than it ever was before, although he is in his 65th year.

(Front the London New Price Current of yesterday. ) SUGAR.—Of all sorts of sugar arrivals here are this year 500 tons less than in the previous ono, there is an increase in home trade deliveries of 1,700, but a diminution for ex port of 6,500, and a decrease in stock of 17,000 tons; prices show an advance of 2s to 3s per cwt. The public sales of sugar declared to take place this week comprise 180 hhds Barbadoes, 60 hhds 13 tcs 50 brls Demerara crystalized • 3,000 bxs yellow Havannah ; 8,000 b ags Mauritius • 5,006 bags Bengal ; 680 bags clayed M an ill a , an d 10,000 bags Madras, principally good to fine grocery, and 200 hds Porto Rico. To-day the Colonial Sugar market was closed on account of the holiday s, but will re-open to-morrow with extensive public sales. An impression in consequence exists that prices will rather decline. REFINED.—Home dealers are still much in want of re fined sugar, and supply not being more plentiful, there is a further advance for low and mid sorts, but hater kinds can be obtained at previous terms. Brown lumps aro now 475, tittlers, common to fine, 47s Gd to 40s, double 51s to 535, Hambro' loaves 47s Gd to 525, double 53s to 545, and standard lumps 48s per cwt. To-day the market for re fined sugar presented a firm aspect, and supply is not ade quate for home dealers' wants. The currency is now for brown ]umps 47s to 47s Gd, and low to fine grocery 48s to 50s. In crushed sugar there are is a large business doing for export at previous rates, and with not free sellers. EAST INDIA.—In Bengal purchases have been of im portance at previous prices ; there is, however, a decline of Gd per cwt for white Benares. Total transactions since this day week amount to 8,000 bags ; grainy white at 41s to 445, good to fine yellow ditto 38s to 40s 6d, low to mid 35s 6d to 37s Gd, brown 33s to 355, white Benares, fine 38s Gd to 39s Gd, low to good 35s Gil to 38s, soft brown 27s Gd. to 295, yellow ditto 30s to 34s 6d, Mauritius sorts 33s to 35s 6d, and fine 36s to 37s per cwt. FOREIGN.— Prices have not improved for floating car goes, although exporters are still desirous to do business, and there is a larger demand for other purposes, with no material increase of supply. Since Saturday foreign sugar has been much in request for exportation, and three car goes of Havannah were sold at 21s Cd to 24s for numbers to 14, besides landed 1,000 duty paid at 37s to 40s, and some parcels of other sorts of foreign at full last week's terms. MOLASSES.—There is a large demand, and stiff prices are paid ; purchases have been 700 puncheons West India since this day week. Dominica and St. Kitts, 17s 6d ; Antigua, and Barbadoes, 18s to 19s per cwt. Some parcels of Bengal and Mauritius have been sold at 15s ; Cuba and Porto Rico, at 17s to 18s per cwt. Stock keeps much un der this time last year, and consumption is favourable. Prices are firm for honey ; Narbonne, at 55s to 65s ; Cuba, 35s to 40s; and Jamaica, 44s to 54s per cwt. Tamarinds remain in scanty supply, r.nd are much wanted ; East India, at 11s to 14s ; and West India, 28s to 44s per cwt. ; of fine the quantity here is smaller than for some time past COFFEE.—To-day the coffee market presented a firm as pect, none was offered at auction, and there is only a mo derate quantity declared. Native Ceylon was in good de mand privately, and there are not generally sellers of new import at 47s per cwt. In Plantation several purchases were made, and in some cases the rates obtained rather exceed those of last week. There is more demand for foreign coffee at present terms, and the market presents a firm ap pearance. TEA.---Extensive purchases have been made in Congou for home consumption since our last report, and many spe culative contracts have been entered into, producing an vance of id per lb. The latest rites paid were f or l ow t o good sound common 1144 to Hid, rather blackish leaf to blackish is to is lid, strong to Pekoe sorts is LW to is 104, and choice is lld to 2 s 2d p er lb . ; medium - to good sorts have been most in request ; indeed at present terms some holders will not sell. The following is the general currency for green :—Hyson, ord at is 44 to is 6d, mid is ld to is 84, good Is 94 to is 114, fine 2s to 2s Bd, super fine 2s 94 to 3s, young Hyson Canton is to is 24, Hyson kind is 4d to 2s, Twankay, lld to is 14, Gunpowder Canton to 11 to is 44, Hyson kind is 74 to 2s 9d, fine 3s to 3s 6d, Imperial Canton is to is 4d, Hyson kind is 54 to 2s 44, Hyson Skin 10 to is per lb. To-clay tea was in active demand, and in some cases a further improvement in prices was prices was obtained. Of 9,400 packages in auction, 4,000 sold, nearly all green. The value of ord and good sound common Congou is 110 to is per lb. INDIGO.—To-clay during the progress of the sale 422 chests have been withdrawn, and 1,671 chests (including 611 withdrawn) have passed. The bulk of the goods which have passed the sale this day consisted of middling to good Kurpahs and a few dry leaf Madras, which sold with more spirit ; the former at from last sale's prices to twopence discount, and the latter at threepence under the rates of the February sale. Proprietors have bought in 450 chests, leaving 640 sold. Of the total quantity which has now passed the auction (12,069 chests), 5,674 have been withdrawn, and 3,594 bought in, leaving 2,801 sold. RICE.—On the part of exporters and home dealers there is a reluctance to operate in East India, and previous terms are kept up with ;difficulty, stock being on the increase. At public sale 2,040 bags Bengal were only in part sold at lOs to 10s Gd for middling white ; 8,793 bags Madras at Os to 9s 6d for Coringa grain, and very ordinary 8s to 8s 6d per cwt. Privately purchases have been trifling ; mid. to fine white Bengal at 10s to 11s, Java, white 9s Gd to 12s, yellowish 8s 6d. to 9s, and Arracan 9s to Os 3d. OlLS.—Th ere is a reluctance to operate in Seal, and ac counts from the Fishery being very favourable, a desire is evinced to sell—pale at 321. to 321. 10s., and other sorts 301. to 311. 15s per tun. Cod met with little notice, and is offered at 33/. 5s to 331. 10s. Southern in limited supply, and rates remain at 321. to 3GI. for common to fine, but few buyers aro to be met with.

S. Brent held an inquest in the Strand Union Workhouse, on Thomas Collins, aged 45. It appeared from the evidence that deceased, who was formerly in affluent circumstances, and well known on the turf, had squandered his property in betting, and he became so reduced as to follow the occupation of "touter," or messenger, at the different races, where he gained great notoriety in consequence of his fleetness in bearing the result of the day's run to his employer. He attended the late Newmarket races, and upon their close came up to London, takinc , lodgings at a coffee-house in itupert-street, Haymarket. On Saturday morning, in consequence of deceased not making his appearance, the landlord went to his bedroom, when he found him lying in bed and speechless. Mr. Jones, parochial sur geon, was instantly sent for, who finding him in a sink ing position, had him removed to the workhouse, where he died five hours after his admission, from, as the medical evidence proved, apoplexy. It further appeared that deceased had undergone all the vicissitudes of a sporting life, being one day fortunate, and the next day reduced to the lowest ebb of poverty. Verdict — Natural Death. IMPORTANT ALTERATION IN THE POOR LAWS.—A bill in the House of Lords, brought forward by Lord Ber ners, has just been printed, to "abolish poor law re moval." His lordship proposes that "from and after the passing of this act, it shall not be lawful for any justices of the peace to remove or convey , or to order tol be removed or conveyed, any person to any parish in England and Wales, on the ground that he is legally settled there."
