TSB POLICE COUR=

MARLBOROU 011-8 T RE ET.
Theme Shepherd was charged with having attempted to
obtain money from Colonel Petri* Cole Paget, of the Soots
Fusilier Guards, by false and fraudulent pretences.
Colonel Paget said he was at his apartment', 64, Jermyn-
street, on Wednesday afternoon, when his servant informed
him that a Mr. Willie wished to speak with him. He told
the 'servant to admit Mr. Willis, sad in a minute or two
afterward, the prisoner mitered the room, and asnounced
himself as one of the oveneers of St. James's. The prisoner
said there was a poor man belsogieg to the parish very ill in
the infirmary at Brampton, and that several benevolent
persona were interested in the sick man's ease, and they
wanted to raise a suns of mosey to sand him into Devon-
shire for the benefit of mild air. He told the assumed

overseer that be was sot a resident, sad only occu.
pied temporary lodgings; that he had quite enough
to do in his own parish in the way of chi'.
rity, and that the applicant had better apply to
the :actor, who possibly might have funds at his
disposal wherewith to avast such cases. The prisoner said
he bad been with Mr. Kemp, the rector, that morning, and
that gentleman pee Ma a sovereign for the poor man.
The prisoner began to talk about complainant being an
Angles's man, which was not the fact. and to speak of the
Mb:lslay and sandesart families, as the Rugly and Sew.
dwarf families, which excited suspicions unfevourable
to his statement, and be woo sent sway without any contri-

Webb, one of the hiesdicity Society's akar, took tke
prisoner into custody the moment he left Colonel Paget's
house. It appeared that ha bad seen the prisoner go in—
that knowing him to be a regular begging petition impostor
he wetebed him. end ea soon u the pesoner made bis ap-
pearance he took him into custody on suspicion. He went
into the house and heard from Col. Perot the substance of
what passed at the interview.
Mr. Don, *trolleying overseer, proved that the poisoner
was not one of the St. Jannis overseen. . _

The prisoner made no detente, and wu eorsesitted fur
three months. _ . _______

LAMBETH.
It will be recollected that on the 21st of June last Wit
Uses Mapiserii, an invalid soldier, who was badly wounded
at the battle of Inkermaarin—a rifle ball having carried away
the bridge of his nose, his right eye, and a part of his temple
sad cheek—was charged at this court with a most fearful
attack on Joseph Jordao, a poliee-oonstable, 88 L, who was
so seriously injured that his life was for some tints placed in
great danger. In the course of investigating the ease Mr.
Norton discovered that a conviction of the prisoner would
deprive him of his well-earned pension, and aware also that
drink and the madness consequent ou his serious Injuries
bad led to the unfortunate outrage, he felt considerable
difficulty in the matter. Ile remanded the accused from
time to time, in the hops that Jordan would recover suffi-
ciently to justify him (Mr. Norton) in discharging the
amused.

Yesterday, after three months' adjournment, Maynard
appeared in discharge of his bail to meet the cue, end Mr.
Scott, the banister, attended for him. Jordan was also in
attendance, with Mr. Roger, his inspectcr, and the latter
handed in the following medical certificate:
"I hereby certify that Police-constable No. 88 L, Joseph
Jordan, continues under my professional care. Although
much improved in health, and I am in hopes he will be
a►le to take some light polies duty in a short time, he still
complains of pals in the back. 'Tee kidney is evidently
I injured. W. F. Wan AAAAA Slayton.
"Lambeth, Sept. '2.7, 1866."
After reeding this certificate Mr. Norton remarked that
the fact of having the charge hanging so bony over his head
must have been some punishment to Maynard, and he was
very glad to Sod by the improved state of Jordan that he
was justified in discharging him out of custody• In doing
so, however, be hoped that he would not forget the serious
injuries he bad inflicted on the officer, and that he would
make him all the reparation in his power. He regretted
very much that there was no fund out of which officers like
Jordan and the two eons:able, so severely injured at Pangs
could be remunerated, but hoped the commissioners would
behave liberally to them. The gentleman who had attended
for Maynard (Mr. Scott) had kindly and liberally placid a
sovereign In his (Mr. Norton's) hands for Jordan. To this
he should add a sovereign of his own and another from the
poor-box, and the rest he should leave to the public feeling,
satisfied it would respond liberally to a most deserving and
excellent officer.

Boulogne sod London, was charged with obtaining seventy
thousand fire bricks, value 3001., from Mr. Patriot John

MARKETS.

SUGAR.—The average price of sugar, the produce of the
British possessions in America, oomputed from the returns
made in the week ending the 26th day of September, 1865,
is 30e. 4d. per cwt., exclusive of duty. The average price
of sugar, the produce of the blauritiur, In the week ending
as above, is 281. os. per ewt., exclusive of duty. The
average price of sugar, the produce of the But Indies, in
the week eadiog as above, is 31e. 10$. per cut , exclusive
of duty. The average price of the those foregoing descrip•
Seas of sugar, Jointly, is 301. 3td. per ewt.

SUGAR.—BRISTOL, SIP?. 213.—The market continues
animated, and prices are still advancing; the late arrivals
from the West ladies having afforded a better supply, eve-
chilly of scale descriptiuns, a fair:amount of business has
been transacted sines our last in Bubadoes,
Antisinas, and Nevis, at a further advance of 6d. to Is. per
cwt.; and several parcels of grocery Mauritius have also
found buyers at a similar improvement. In foreign we are
not aware of any transactions this week, but few floating
cargoes being now offering. Refiners' produce continues to
and a very ready sale, and prices are again dearer this
week. Rums are inquired fur, but the few parcels on show
being held above the present market value, the transactions
of the week are very unimportant.

SUPT. 28.—Tb. eantiasid rt-

strtetion of the money market and the higher rata charged
for the discount of commercial paper km had a serious
effect upon our cotton trade. The same consideration that
drives the speculator and importer into the market as
sellers of cotton not only deter, the consumer from taking
advantage of this state of things, but induces a conservative
proceeding on his part by Hasidim the outlay of ready money
as much as may be necessary for carrying on his business.
In this state of the market, without anything new on the
subjects of supply and consumption, prises have given way
a full ed. per lb. on most kinds of Americans ; &mats,
ii.; nor would the decline be frond less on Bruils,
Egyptians, and long stapled of all kinds, were buyers to
present themselves for these socts. In the meantime the
stock declines in quantity ; and the present depressed state
of our market, when transmitted to the United States, will
not be very encouraging to the skippers of cotton. We
qaote "middling" Uplands at bid. ; Mobile, 6d. ; sod
Orleans at 60. This quotation we regard as the average
state of the market; there may have been salts during the
week at lower rates, but we have no assurance that they
could be repeated at this moment, as there is more demand
this morning and less choice of cotton for sale. The com-
mittee of brokers place " fair" 'Uplands, 61d. ; Mobile,
611.; and Orleans, 60. 730 American and 1,670 Surat are
reported to have been taken on speculation; 1,660 Ameri-
can, 80 Madras, 1,470 Beret, and 130 Bengal for export ;
so MU the deliveries to the trade for the week have been
about 30,400 bales. Sales to-day, 600 bales, 1,000 being
on speculation and for export. bales of the week, 35,960
balsa

THE IRON TRADE.— Bilutittotteu, Barr. 28.—The
preliminary meeting of the ironnuaters of this district was
held at Ilandsworth yesterday, and not at Wolverhampton,
as reported in to-day's paper. All the leading numbers of
the trade were present ; Hr. Philip Williams in the chair
The principals of one or two large houses were in favour of
an advance of 605., others of a rise of 30s. per ton is the price
of bars; these, however, were obliged to give way, and thrl
final resolve of the meeting was an advance of 11. per ton,
making ban 91., and sheets, plates, and hoops in proportion.
At these figures, there will be a fair demand for the commo
dity ; there will be few undersellers, and prices will be well',
maintaised ; whereas, had the larger advance been persisted
is, a sort of panic in the trade would have been inevitable
in a few weeks, and much mischief would have been the
eonsequence. There are some good orders in from
America ; these will be kept up at present prices,
although, if anything beyond had been attempted, it
ie moat likely that provisional ODIN would have been with•
drawn. l'ig iron commands from 41. 10s. to 51. a ton, that
is for best qualities ; and material of all kinds is scarce.
Upon the whole, the trade may be regarded as in a healthy
state, and especially so having in view recent occurrences.
The demand for coal is still brisk, and prices have an upward
tendency.
