I prefer a second indictment against the accused gentleman,
if the prosecutors had thought proper m do so.—Baron Platt
raid he thought he was b4unrl to so* that the interests of
justice were not defeated, by allowing a person, placed in the
position of the prisoner, to be set at large. lie considered
the application was a reasonable one. Hu lordship then gave
a formal order that the prisoner should he detained until the
grand jury were discharged.

NEW COURT.
ROBBERY IN THE TOWER. —A person maned Henry
Allen, was charged with stealing in August last several shirts
and other articles of weasing apparel, the property of Jessey
Jane Mynas, a resident within the Tower of London. It
appeared that the prisoner, who was a steward of a steamer,
hired a lodging fora temporary purpose at the prosecutria's
house. she being a laundress in the tower, and washing for
A number of the officers stationed there. After he hnd left,
she directly missed a bundle of linen, which consisted of the
shirts and other articles then produced, and which were
eventually traced to the prisoner. The prisoner declined
saying anything iu his defence.—The Jury, otter consulting
for a Short time, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Recorder I
sentenced him to nine mouths imprisonment with hard
labour.

RomsrßY or Cort:s.—Four persons, named Simpson,
Jacobs, Palmer, and Kirg, were charged with stealing a
quantity of oats, value 305., the property of Mr. E. Perronet
ells, and others. It appeared from the evidence adduced
that Simpson (who is a master carman), with hi, servant, in-
duced the other two prisoners to allow them to convey some
sacks of corn from their master's stable into Simpson's. On
the robbery being discovered part of the oats were fomad in
a bin on Simpson's premises, and identified. For Simpson it
was asserted that he had a contract to supply 160 tons of
coals, and being short of sacks only, went t•., borrow the corn
sacks from the other two prisoners on the tr.orning it was
ti,serted the robbery was committed. Witnesses were called
as to character respecting Simpson. The jury found them
Guilty, and the Recorder, to mark Simpson's conduct in the
affair, sentenced him to eighteen months' imprisonment, and
the other three to six months each.

PRODUCE.

MINCING-LINE, -part reco.—The &gat
continues steady, with a fair amount of bylines done,
sjo Wide. sold. There has not been a public sale to-day.
Refined has been firm.
Cojle.—The public sales have been large, 2000 bags La
Guars, 4000 begs Costa Rica, and 50 casks of Jamaica.
There was evidently a want of confiderce in the buyers, and
the trade bought wry cautiously. A large portion of the
Costa Rica was tahrn for exportaCrm, chiegy 44r.
Saltpctre.-1,400 bags were offered, and chiefly sold at
previous rates.
Cotton has again been active, a large amount of business
dune, and the &chance since the news from America arrived
must be considered fully Id. per lb.
Tca.—The public sales went off heavily, all the current
qualities bought in, so that we cannot give fresh quotation',
but the market wears a heavy appearance.
Piny nto sold 3f 31 lb.
Runk continues very dull.
Rice.—The demand for this :allele has very much abated,
but prices remain steady.
The Penlight's Lrug sales went off without spirit ; allege
portion bought in.
Tallow continui 3 in good dcrnaud, at rather better prices :
new, 435. 3d. to 435. 6d.; old, 12". fld. to 435. ; late delivery,

HoNDt:n.ts.—The papers of this settlement to the
oth of August, contain a review of the prospects of the
mahogany trade, some particulars of which it may
be useful briefly to extruct. After remarking upon
the downward tendency cf the trade from the bewin-
ning of the present year, and the heavy accumulation
of stocks, principally of small wood, in the bands of a
few speculators in London and Liverpool, who bad
paid " long prices" for this inferior article, and
that little, therefore, was trouglit to public sale,
it is stated that in May last large sales, however,
were made here, to the extent of nearly one million
feet, by which stocks were reduced one-fourth. What then
remained on hand here is said to have been " for the most
we small trashwood, which ought never to have been cut."
Very litJ.e weed, in consequerce of this state of markets
here, had been sbiped from Belize. From the Ist of May
to the Ist of August this year, only 2,470 M. had been
shipped against 3,!.643 M. lust year for the same petite'.
I Supposing the sales Cl have continued here in the same raio
as in May, it WAS eslculated that stocks must be greatly
reduced. Apprehensions had been entertained, both there
and here, that an enormous quantity at wood would be tut
this year, on account of the increase of the working gangs ;
