THAMES.

Janus Butz, a well known thief, was chugged with being
concerned in the othinsusion of a verrelarang 'robbery
Ti. eriviser ended at the house of Mr. Thomas
Alden, 9, Tarling strut, St. George in the-East, at noon,
oa Tusedsy. Toe door was opened by Mrs. Alden, an old'
sad infirm woman, sod very imbecile. The prisoner
accosted bra Wit 4... Ho do you do, sane P" to whieh the old
woman replied that she did not snow him. He stated that
he was married to Jeanne?, sod the old lady having a niece
of that name, whom she had not seen for a long time, sod
believing the prisoner'. representation that he was her
niece's husband, invited him into the kitchen at
the beck of her parlor. He then entered into con-
versation with her, and lulled her suspicions by
stating many events of her niece's life which the knew to
be cornet. He said that J is father had forbidden
him his house, end did not like the match. Mrei. Alden ex-
pressed surprise at this, and said she had heard that Jean-
net's Unbend was a respectable, sober yonog mon. The
prisoner then said J was waiting in the street, and oa
the old lady expressiog a wish to see her the prisoner went
to the door, and opened it ; bat, instead of admitting lean-
est, he let to a confederate, Denied Jones, who immediately
began filling a beg with shells, glass, china cope and sea-
ms, decanters, a teapot, ornatneete, sad other property.
While Jones was thus engaged in the parlour, Bases kept
Mrs Alden in conversation. He said that Jesanet would
remain in the street, for she was afraid she bad offended her
aunt by getting married. Jones having removed every
portable article from the front parlour, opened the street
door, and was prepsring to leave the Muse when au one:-
pelted alarm was given. A Mee. Perryman, who occupies the
upper put of the house, had descended the stairs
when Beath first entered, ,beerred all his manteuvres,
and overheard every word of his non ion. Her first
inspires ion was that the prisoner Rama was lying, as "he
had such a hang-gallows lace," that she was quits sure
leasset would not have such a husband. Her 'minium:is
were confirmed let es be admitted Jones, sad she saw him
begin to tilt his bag with Mr. Alden's property. Jones no
sooner opened the door to go away than Mrs. Perryman
called out'' Thieve.' thieves! murder, murder!" Essex
I left the kitchen, darted out of the Mouse, and soon
disappeared. Jones, being pursued, let fall the beg con-
taioing the principal part of the booty, and amputated
?eking other articles front his pockets and throwing them
away. Alter a long parsui, be was st pped in the Commer
cial•road by two police-constables, and he was convicted and
s ,fitenced under the new act to tour months' imprisoannot

and hard labour, within an hour of his oominitting the
°Lim. Bentz was taken into oo•tod1 on Thursday night.
Mr. Ingham said he should commit the primates tot triel
at the se:steas.

MARKETS.

SUGAR —The average price of sugar, the producer of the
British possessions in Ameriee, computed iron the return
made is the week ending the 11th day of SereisSer, 1865, is
26. Std. per owt., eselueive of duty. The average price of
auger, the "induce of the Mauritius, in the week ending as
above. is 291. Ild. per ea t , exclusive of duty. The ge
price of eager, the oroduce of the East lodic, in the week
endisg *above, 294. 3I 1. per cwt., exclosivc Of duty. Toe
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of sugar,
jointly, is 27v 4ld.

IBUGAR.—BILIRTOL, 81PT. 14.—ne market has still an
upward tendency, ands further advance of fully Is. per cwt.
lies again been established this week. The transactions in
West ladle are unimportant from the very limited supply
is the port; and the sales in Mauritius are restricted owing
to the high pretensions cf h,lders as a very large business
might here been done in this elsm of sugar, at a trill"
under the prices demanded. In foreign, about 5,000 boxes
are reported at the abOVO advsnee. &finer's produce eon
tins.. to advance, and the manufacturer are cautions
Wien. Rum more enquired for, but very little offering.

COTTON.—LivinvooL, Garr. 14.—Some slight midi&
eatioa of the advice* which came by the last steamer as to
the rod prospects of the growing crop of cotton in the
United States, gained • little attention at the NO:nips of
week. Hitherto we have gone on eonhdently under the
almost perfect marines that everything on that all
important point wee progressing meet favourably to pro
duce a large crop; and, go fares we can judge in the matter,
we see no just ground (or changing that opinion. Still, a
little talk has been made on the subject. At the same time
came the plotless account of the fell of Sebastopol. This
spirit...deride( news (which in this place we must only regard
for its commercial bearing), combined with other consider-
'Noss, and condoned fair Ingather for harvest work, gave
the market, at the beginning of the week, a Srm and inn
fidget appearance. At tbs same time there was the
very significant hint made to the commereisl world
by the Bank of England again raising the rate
of discount, of the neeesiity of keeping a loolvont on every
side. The result has been that with • fair demand from the
trade, and no worse state of things in Manchester, we ter-
minate the week Inn when we began it, with prices of all
kinds steadily maintained at the quotations of Friday last.
Egyptians, Sante, Brasile, es the better class of Americans,
for export, have bean in fair demand ; hut it may be
observed that the market is still abundantly supplied with
all than dessriptioes at the rates. Middling Uplands,
6 3 16d.; Mobile, 6id.; and Orleans, 6 7.164. The noun
mitts, of broken pleat fair Uplands at std. ; Mobile, 61.1
and Orleans, 20. 6,420 bales American. 470 Surat, and
40 Egyptian are reported to have been taken on specula-
tion;- 3,262 Aineriesn, 3,460 Stunt, 120 Bengal, 20 Egf P-
lias', sad 40 Bahia, fee export; so that the deliveries to the
trade foe the week have been about 34,600 bales. Sales
to-day, 6,000 hales. Sales of the week, 46,330 bales.

TALLOW.
The statistics of tallow m►y be thus briefly maned up :
The stook on Sept. 10, 1864, was 34,000 casks ; the arrivals
up to Dec. 31, 32,000 casks; and the deliveries. 31.000
auks ; leaving a stock on the Ist Jas. last of 36,000 casks.
Taking the arrivals to be the same as Mat yea► (and we have
so ground for believing they will be more), the main point
is our probable deliveries; and lookiog at the deficiency of
lard, the prices of rape and linseed oils, the deficiency et
greasy materials on the continent, the shortness of our own
bone palace, and the difference in the pries of tallow this
year (675. 6d.), compared with last year (66e. 61.). we
think we may reasonably entails:4 on the deliveries amount-
lag to 44.000 maks, which will leave us a stock on the
Ist of January neat of 22.000 casks. Oa Tae•day the
market opened at a decline of 6d. per cwt. for T. 0. as the
spot, and 91. for October and December, on the prime of
the day before; so improvement thee took plate, and we
left off at 670. 6d. to 91. spot, and 575. 31. October and Dc.
comber. On Wodaerday, prices were without alteration.
Yesterday, 584. and 575. 91. were paid for December and
January, and 675. 61. to 91. on the spot. The large delivery
foe the four days (2,305 casks) is due chiefly to the fulfil
m►at of nostreate previously made, the trade refusing to
purchase, under the erroneous impression that the fell of
Sebastopol alma lead to peace. Our concluding prime ere
soot, 67e. 6d.; October and December, 675. 34.—From
