THAMES:

Mr. Ingham decided a point on the new cab law, upon
which there is IMOD to believe a isissocossiosk is gene-

rally prevalent. A cabman who had allowed four persons
to ride in his vehicle claimed the magistrates aseistance to
enforce payment of Is., namely, 64. for each of the extra
passengers. The magistrate explained to him that he was
not bound to carry more than two adult persons in his
cab, hot that if he did he could only charge sixpence errs
(or the whole hiring, and not sixpence for e..ch extra per-
son. The words of the act are When more than two
persons shall be carried inside any hackney carriage one
sum of 6d. is to be paid for the whole hiring in addition to
the above farts. Two children under ten years of age to
be counted as ono adult person."

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.
EDI:MI.110U, JULY 21.
CONDININATION or THREE PRISONERS.

Haw Smith MFarlano, Helen Blackwood, Mary
Hamil-
ton, and Ann Marshall, or Young, were placed at the bar,
charged with robbing and murdering Alexander Boyd, ship
carpenter, in a house of ill fame, in the New Vinnel, Glas-
gow, on the morning of Sunday, the 12th June last.
. .

The prirnners, who all had an abandoned and hardened ap-
pearance, pleaded Not Guilty. The cue accordingly went
to trial, and the chief witness', were William and Jamca
Shillinglaw, two orphan ragged school boys, who were wont
to and a nightly shelter in the house occupied by the pri-
soners, and slept below the bed. The boys had bees
awakened by the stir in the house on the night in questinn,
and raw two men (named Law and Boyd) brought in by
two of the women. They were both drunk, but the latter
gave money to buy more drink. After drinkin some time,
and while Boyd had fallen half asleep, Hamilton mixed
snuff in a cup with whiskey, and gave it to linyd, who drank
it. He appeared (deponed the boy Wm. Shiliinglaw) to get
sick from it, and stupid like. He rose up, and attempted
to strike Helen Blackwood. She was standing near the
bed. She lifted up the chamber-pot, and struck him on the
side of the head with it. When he got the blow, he fell
back all his length, and his head came on a atone which was
used for a stool. The man lay there gasping for some time.
Blackwood and Marshall said to Macfarlane, Oh, what'll
we die (do) wi him." Macfarlane said, " Nobody will
see, heave him over the window." Before Macfarlane said
this, the man's clothes had been taken off. Blackwood pro-
pond to strip him, and they took off him a pair of mole-
skins, a dark coat and waistcoat, and a cap. Black-
wood took out of his pocket a handful of money.
The man made no resistance while they were stripping
him. He appeared to be quite unable to resist. It was
after the man was stripped that Macfarlane said, "throw
him over the window." Blackwood took one of the arms
of the man, Marshall the feet, Macfarlane the other arm,
and Hamilton looked on. They " hove," him over the
window. The head went foremost. Hamilton made no
resistance to what was going en, and said nothing. Hamil-
ton lad Macfarlane went first out of the room. Marshall

commenced wringing her hands, and went to the window,
crying, " Oh, my man's dead ; he went to the window, and
feU over."
Besides the boys who were peeping out below the bed
two women testified to witnessing the deed through chinks
in the door. The man seemed to have died from the fall
immediately. The height of the window was 13 feet.
After various other evidence and addresses from counsel,
The jury brought in a verdict of Guilty as libelled against
Hans M'Farlane, Helen Blackwood, and Ann Marshall,
but recommended the latter to mercy as being less deeply
implicated. The cue against Mary Hamilton was found
Nut Proms.

The Lord Justice General sentenced the three convicted
prisoners to be executed at Glasgow on the 11th of August
(Thursday).
The court then adjourued till next day.

METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular states that rails
=minutia their position with an upward tendency. Scotch
pigs: Considerable advance bee taken place during the
week, the prices having fluctuated from 325. 3d. to 565. 6d.
for mixed numbers, immediate cull ; the market leaves off
with buyers at 555. 6d. ; there can be little doubt that as
soon as the Turkish question is settled, a further advance
must take place ; the stock is diminishing ; Girt:the rr irr
No. 1, may be quoted at 575. Spelter continues inactive ;
the last rale effected was about 150 tons, at 211. on the
spot, and holders are very indifferent about realising at
present rates, as large quantities must be required for
France as the winter approaches. Copper continues very
firm, although the standard has been lowered at Swansea.
Swedish iron and steel are more inquired after. Banes and
Straits tin is very firm. Lead is without alteration. Tin
Plates: Several thousand boxes of charcoal have changed
hands ; coke plates are now becoming very scarce, many of
the principal manufacturers have discontinued making. The
lees on production, caused by the present high rates of tin,
iron, tallow, and labour, has been estimated by some of the
manufacturers at 4s. per box.

SUGAR.—The average price of Sugar, the produce of
the British poseeuions in America, computed from the re.
turns made in the week ending the 19th July, 1633, is
23e. Iltd. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 245. Ild.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 26.. 41d. The
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar,
jointly, is 24a. Bd.

BRISTOL, JULY 22.
Suosa.—We continue to experience a good and steady
demand for sugar, refiners and grocers seeming disposed to
keep well in stock ; and a fair amount of business has been
transacted since our last, both in West India and foreign, at
prices fully equal to those current last week ; of Mauritius
them are none offering, and the supply of other descriptions
oa show is very limited. Refiners' produce finds a ready
sale, and prices are well supported.
RUM is badly wanted, but there is scarcely any offering;
proof Leeward, are worth 2a. Id.

SlLK.—With reference to the market for silk, the
monthly circular of Messrs. Durant and Co. observes u
follows The position of the silk market continues fa-
vourable—generally improved prices with undiminished
consumption and large deliveries. In China silk the market,
relieved from the heavy pressure of the early months of the
year, has become at lut almost buoyant, and prices have ap-
proached very closely to those of 1850—the highest point
known for many years—in Taysum we have already ex-
ceeded this point by 71 to 10 per cent. In Bengal silk fair
business has been done at rather better prices. In Italian
silk we are almost without stock—the reports as to the crop
are various, but upon the whole leu fa'oarable than a
month since ; high prices are talked of for new silk, and
some few small parcels have been bought for arrival at about
10 per cent. above the opening prices of last season—they
are now beginning to coins forward. In Brutia silk the
arrivals have been only 31 bales, and these bad been pre-
viously sold. In Persian silk the market has been quiet,
but prices firm ; the arrivals are 287 ballots, of which about
ball have been sold."

WOOL.—Lanno, JULY 22.—Our market is becoming
pretty well supplied with wools of all descriptions, and as
manufacturers, almost without exception, are run out of
stock, we may soon expect a considerable increase of busi-
ness. Prices are pretty firmly supported on the basis of
last May sales.

CORN.—CIiELYSTORD, July 22.—There was a good
supply of Wheat at market today, and the weather being
unsettled, with some report of potato disease, caused a brisk
demand at an advance of 2s. per qr. Wheat, red, 50s. to
545. ; white, 58s. to 60s. ; extra, 611. Barley nominal ;
grinding, rather dearer. Beans Pearce, and fully maintain
their prim,.
- -

LI;COLN, July 22.—With a good supply of Wheat, our
market was ls. higher to-day ; red, 535. to 575.; white,
675. to 60s. The weather very unsettled, and fears entertained
for the growing crops.
LIVERPOOL, Aux 22.—The arrivals since Tuesday from,
Ireland and coastwise are light, but from foreign ports and
Canada there has been reported 10,321 quarters wheat, 718
quarters beans, 5,999 quarters Indian corn, and 3,243 brie.
four. The exports comprise 1,128 quarters wheat, 919
quarters Indian corn, 942 sacks and 2,662 barrels flour. A
good deal of rain has fallen in this neighbourhood during
the week, and we have had, in consequence, an active de-
mand for wheat and flour at an advance of Id. per 701 be.,
and 6d. per sack and barrel. Cargoes of wheat afloat are
held for rather more money. Oats are in request for ex-
port, and must be quoted 15. per 45 lbs. dearer. Arrived
cargoes of Indian corn are obtainable on rather lower terms,
but those at a distance are saleable at a small advance.
Parcels on the spot are without change in value. At this
morning's market there was a good attendance of town
dealers and of millers from the country. A large business
was done he wheat and flour both on speculation and for
holding over, at an advance upon Tuesday's prices of 2d.
per 701 b., and 9d. to le. per barrel and sack. Oats of good
quality, being very scarce, must be quoted fully Id. per
451bs. dearer. Oatmeal without change, and the demand
limited. Barley, beans, and peas brought rather more
money. Indian corn on the spot met with a little more
inquiry: cargoes at porta of call were quite neglected and
easier to buy, but those at a distance were in request, and
held for slightly higher rates. We quote American white
wheat Be. 2d. to 81. 3d., and red 7s. 11d. to Bs. ld.per 701bs.
Western canal flour 275. 6d. to 285., and Baltimore and
Philadelphia, 28s. to 28s. 6d. per barrel. Arrivals into Li-
verpool from the 19th to the 21st July, infinsive : Wheat,
10,9e6 cos.; Barley, 19; Malt, 119; Oats, 665; Beans,
1,138; Peas, 768 ; Indian Corn, 5,999; Oatmeal, 554
sacks ; Flour, 313 sacks ; 3,243 barrels. Exports to Ire-
land: Indian Corn, 863 qrs; Flour, 662 sacks, 853 brie.
WANATIELD, July 22.—We have moderate arrivals of
Wheat this wet k; the late storms in the South have
tended to increa.e the disposition of farmers to hold back
supplies, and prices in the agricultural districts are quite
above those obtainable hero ; to-day our buyers follow any
advance upon last week's rates reluctantly, and only a few
fine fresh parcels are disposed of at an improvement of Is.
to 2s. per qr. ; holders are Arm, consequently only a limited
basilicas is done. Barley nominal. (late and Shelling each
fully as dear. Beans without alteration. Fine malt is in-
quired for and rather more money is obtained. The weather
during the week has been unsettled, yet not so unfavorable
as to prevent some quantity of hay being secured in made-
rate order. We have showers again to-day. Imports during
the week :—Wheat, 10,315 qrs.; Barley, 100; Oats, 1,362 ;
Beans, 411.
