THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION•HOUSE.

W. Burt" who was examined on the previous day upon
charges of having obtained money from two carriers, named
Kipping and Roberts, under false pretences, was brought
up for final examination.
James O'Connor, of the H division of the Metropolitan
Police, said: I have been nearly seven years on duty in the
Tower, and am acquainted with every person there. I
know nothing of the prisoner. He was not living in the
Tower in August or September last. If he had a room of
Foods or any goods in the Tower to remove I should know
It. It is our duty to take observation of everything of the
kind, and no room in the Tower can be let without the
knowledge and sanction of the governor. I saw the prose-
cutor Kipping produce at the Tower the letter which he
said the prisoner had given to him to keep as containing an
order upon Samerset-house for 451. 10s. 4d., and I heard
him describe the prisoner.
The Lord Mayor—Prisoner, do you wish to say anything
in answer to these charges ?
The prisoner—No, I have nothing to say against either of
them.

It was stated that there were many other victims, but
that they were so laboriously employed they would suffer
great inconvenience by being obliged to appear.
The Lord Mayor fully committed the prisoner for trial,
and directed that proofs of his former conviction as a felon
should be brought forward at his trial.

BOW-STREET.
Mary Aim Limehowe, an elderly woman, who obtained
her living by selling play-bills outside the Lyceum Theatre,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, for obstructing
the public footway.
Mr. Bennett, the box book-keeper of the theatre, stated
that Mr. Charles Mathews, having resolved to abolish the
practice of vending bills in the streets, gave notice of his
intention to refuse any farther supply from the printers for
that purpose. Consequently, several of the persons who
had been accustomed to sell them, had supplied themselves
with spurious bills, which they offered to the public as the
genuine house-bill; and the prisoner was found with several
of these in her possession.
It was stated that Mr. Mathews bad issued orders to the
effect that every person paying for admission to the Ly-
num—whether to boxes, pit, or gallery—should Imo a bill
presented gratuitously.
Mr. Jardine wu very glad to hear of this determination,
for the practice had become a positive nuisance ; and cer-
tainly, he would waist Mr. Mathews er any other manager,
in putting a stop to it, for every person convicted of so ob-
structtying either the footway or road-way, was liable to the
mess the was not pressed in this came, the defendant
eras diamh

MARKETS.

SUGAR.—The average price of Sugar, the proclaim of
the British poescoions in America, computed from the re-
turns made in the week ending the 25th January, 1833, is
2ta. 111 Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 265. old.
Seger, the produce of the East Indies, 304.50. 'the
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Saw,
joiatiy, se 255. 7d.

BRISTOL, JAN. 2s.
StroAa.—The West India market has been quiet this
weds, and the few Into on show being held for prices rather
above the present value, the transactions since our last are
unimportant. In Mauritius the sales comprise about
12,000 mats, all to the refiners, at easier prim.; and about
900 boles of fine yellow Havannah hare also been disposed
of, although at a decline of fully Is. per cwt. The
refined market is very dull, and the grucers show no dispo-
sition to operate beyond their immediate requirements. In
rum we are without transactions to report.

COTTON.—LtvgarooL, JAN. 28.—Notwithataatling the
important feet that the receipts of cotton at the ports ut the
United Stites are 471,000 bales in excess over the same
period of last year, confidence in the article seems to be on
the Increase on this side of the Atlantic as well ea on the
other. Along with thew, statements, we have also positive
&driers and as.urances that the total crop will not exceed
' that of last year. Between the ascertained fact of the
actual receipts, and the probable supply during the ce-
ll malodor of the season, there is no doubt very wide room for
I conjecture. Leaving this import point for the present and
for future development, we have to report that the move-
ment in advance, when reduced to quotation, is only to a
very limited extent, in no case more than 44. per lb. This
applies most fully t t the fair qualities of American, but less
decidedly to all other kinds. Surats, Br.ails, and Egyp-
tians are but little moved in price, and none of them sus-
, eeptible of a raised quotation. They are all, however, more
in demand, and some speculative business has been done in
Egyptian. at 62. to 644., and in Meech* and Bahia. at Sid.
for the very common. to 6d. for middling and middling fair.
10,720 American. 630 Surat, 2.480 Eeyptian, and 470
Basis, are reported to have been taken on speculation; and
2,620 American, 1,780 Surat, 60 Madras, 20 Egyptian, and
100 Bahia, for export. The Committee of Brokers place
fair Uplands, at 61. ; Mobiles, 641. ; and Orleans, 60.
Sales for the week, 65,6,10 bales.

WOOL.—Leepe, J.A.N. 29.—We hare no alteration in
prices, which are firm at last week's rates. A moderate
client of business has been done during the week.

CORN.—CIILLYSFORD, Jan. 28.—The supply of Wheat
was smaller to-day, the condition very bad; all aeseriptions
were rather lower, but the decline mostly applied to
white. White, 481. to 545. ; red, 425. to 4Gs. Barlry rather
gave way, but all the best descriptions about maintained
their price, 375. was made of the best qualities. Beans and
other spring Corn without alteration.
LiNcot.sl, Jan. 28.—Onr market was well supplied with
Wheat to-day. The trade was very dull. To make salts
farmers had to submit to a reduction of 2s. per qr. on last
week's rates; and even at those prices a large quantity re.
maimed unsold at the close of the market, millers not show-
ing any disposition to purchase. Barley dull sale, at Is.
decline. Oats and Beans about the same, but very little
paging in either article. Wheat, red, 445. to 485. ; white,
60s. to 645. Barley, grinding, 271. to 295. ; malting, 14a.
Oats, 18s. to 20s.

W►YE)IILD, Jan. 28.—Our arrivals of Wheat are good,
but by no means large for the season of the year, the trade
however is very inactive, caused no doubt in a great mea-
sure by the extremely bad condition. Soft qualities are
otkred Is. to 21. per qr. lower, and other sorts ls. per qr.,
w.thout leading to any extent of business. Barley is in
supply equal to demand. The =lister' buy etutiously,
and prices have receded Is. per qr. Oits and Shelliug sta-
tionary. Beans are flat, and new the turn lower. No
alteration in other articles.
