THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOT:18B.

James Whitelass, colleTagcl7ritteliesere. Hickson and
Co., of Queen-street, Cheapside, wholesale grocers, was
charged with having embezzled various sums of money, the
property of that firm.
Mr. It. °Mass, grocer, said—l deal with Messrs. Hickson,
and on the 6th of February I paid to the prisoner on ac-
count of the firm 651. Is. 6d., and he entered his receipt of
it in my book in my presence.
Mr. W. Dutton, tea-dealer, of Watling-street, said—l
also deal with the firm, end I paid to the prisoner on the
sth of February, on their accouat, 261. 13e., the receipt for
which he a in my proems.
Mr. 0. A. Ladd', clerk in the house of Hickson and
Bellinger, the prosecutors, said—The prisoner was in our
employment as town traveller. He was paid by a salary.
It was his duty to pay, in on the receipt of money to me or
any other of the counting-house clerks, the amount. Satur-
day was our regular settling day. In consequence of a
communication which I received from the two witnesses
just examined, I had some conversation with him. He had
sent to me to call upon him in a public-house in the
neighbourhood, in coneeouence of having heard that I called
upon him at his lodgings. He asked me what I
wanted of him ; and I told hint about the two sums above
mentioned. He admitted that he had received the money
and not paid it in. I asked him if there were any other
deficiencies, and he said there were, and he gave me the
particulars ; of which I made a memorandum.
Upon the application of Mr. dAhurst, who appeared for
the prosecution, the prisoner was remanded.

COTTON.—Ltrzionot., FRB. 14.—The tales to-day
amount to 5,000 halve, all to the trade, and comprise 200
Perna= and Maranhao, 61 to 61; 200 Bahia, 600
Egyptian, 300 Stoats, and 70 Bea Islands. The market
closed heavily for all kinds, except solid American, 61 and
upwards; and compared with Friday's rates, all kinds are
little changed, except American, at and under 51, which are
1-16 down.

CORN.—linurronn, Feb. 12.—The supply of Wheat at
market to-day good, the finest samples made fully u much
money, coarse descriptions a dull trade. Barley sold at last
week's prices, supply small. Oats ruled dull. Peas and
Beans fully support late rates. Prices: Wheat, 235. to 371.
per load. Barley, 245. to 36e. per qr. Oats, 15s. to 245.
Pees, 18s. to 22.. per load. Beans, 18e. to 265. Tares, 20s.
to 225. Bye, 18a. to 21s.

CATTLE.—Cusaresv Limy FAT n, Feb. 14.—At this fair
the supply of Cattle was rather more numerous than
usual, as was the attendance. Store Beasts were
much sought after, especially the best descriptions,
which sold quickly, at full prices. For young growing
Beasts and barren Cows trade was brisk, nevertheless prices
ruled rather in favour of buyers. Mulch and in-calf Cows
sold freely, but still there was no advance in their value.
The Pig trade was good, at advanced prices. The supply
of Hones was only of a second-rate description, but there
wu a good demand, and many changed Manch., at high
prices. The Sheep fair was more shortly supplied than we
have known for years. There is every prospect of wool, as
well as mutton, being dearer.

COLCHESTIR, Feb. 12.—1 n consequence of the unfortu-
nate state of the weather there was not much stock at mar-
ket; the sales that took place were effected at about the
same rates as last week. The same may be stated with
regard to the Pig trade. Supply : Sheep and Lambs, 1,680;
Beasts, 135; Pigs, 170; Calves, 9; Hones, 30.
GODALMINO (SUBSIST) Falk, Feb. I2.—The supply of
keeping stock of all kinds wu in short supply, but there
wen many buyers; high prices were demanded and sturdily
maintained throughout the day, and every description of
stock wu sold ; and the sellers describe this as the best
selling fair they have bail for the last six years. Mitch cows
were indifferent in quality, nevertheless they sold freely at
improving prices. The pig trade was brisk, and prices ruled
in favour of sellers. Suckling and weaning Calves in good
demand at Zia. to 304. each.

NonWton, Feb. 12 —Our market ezhibited the largest
and beat show of Scots that have been known so early in the
seamen for many years; of shorthorns and Irish a large
number. Although the attendance of buyers was good, still
the weather was much against the trade, and more than
half the Beasts remained unsold. Scots, 38. 6d. to 4s. ;
shorthorns, 3e. to 3e. 6d.; mid Irish, 2a. 6d. to 34.
per stone of 141b5., when fat ; the market closed at
these prices, the worst ibis semen. Fat Beasts a large show ;
trade Arm. at 6a. 64. to 7s. per stone, and mostly sold. the
pens tolerably well tilled ; Sheep of all kinds maintain late
prime; both Mutton and wool being greatly in favour of
the trade. Good store Pigs and fat pork remain unaltered
in prices.
