COMMERCIkL INTELLIGENCE.

a a ais .., /ILIIkuA.

FROM TUC IST JULY TJ I4TU AUG•, 1557.

The Overland Mail of the 10th July from London, per
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Norna,
reached Bombay early on the morning of the sth August.
Our money market during the last fortnight has, as is
usual at this season of the year, become somewhat easier,
and the banks have reduced their rates of iuterest 2 per
cent. all round, awl unless unforeseen circumstances
should arise we are of opinion that a further reduction in
rates of interest must take place ere long.
The Government notification to receive one-half 4 per
cent. paper and one-half cash into the 5 per cent. loan
has not improved the value of either of these securities.
We quote Fours 82, and Fives 92—few buyers. Our local
Joint-Stocks keep firm at about former quotations.
Cutton Piece Goods.—The business transacted has been,
in consequence of the mutinies in the upper provinces, to
a pretty moderate extent, but not as might be expected at
this period of the season. Some of the leading staple
articles have in some instances been sold under the closing
prices of the last season,
Metals.—Tin plates are reported to be very scarce ; a
slight decline is perceptible in sheathing and braziers'
capper; while in iron we have no change worth noticing.
Beer.—The market continue very firm, with a good
demand for that in wood, while in bottle the inquiry is
quiet...

Cochineal.—This may he quoted at lir to 2r per lb.
EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool —The rather limited sock on hang,
coupled with the favourable accounts from England, has
tended towards a general advance in prices, both for
cotton on the spot and that to arrive. We quote Broach
end Surat at 141 r 42 ; Oomervut tee at 135: 3tis."; Dhollera
141 r 42a; Khandeish, 125 r 27a; Compta, 131 r 22a;
Neravel, 131 r 32a; Dharwar Sawginned, 153 r 55a.

Oil Seeds —Transactions on a small scale have taken
place in linseed, varying from 5r 12a to 5r 15% per cent.
Hemp—The gao•atious are only nominal, the stock
being almost nothing.
Pepper.—Tne same as above may be sa`d of this article.
Opium.—There is no stock in the market, except of
inferior quality, and our present quotation is 1,250 r for
both Induce and Mandlesir.

;;,Tonnage.—The rates have continued firm, and may at
present be quotel at .E 2 53 to £2los per ton.
t /cellar-3ga has gone down. the rate ranging betwixt
24 Id 13.16 h and 24 111. and bills somewhat scares. On
Calcutta, sight, 1011; China, 60 days' sight, 227.

COCKRZY SPORTAMEN.—At the Gr.•enwich police court,
Henry Bentham and John Mullindar, respectable young
men appeared to answer a summons charging. them with
uolne fal:y trespassing and shooting game without a
liceuse, on the grounds of Mr James Noakes, of Lewisham.
John Duncan said that on the Ist inst., between six and
seven o'clock in the meriting, he s•iw the defendants in oas
of his master's meadows. They each carded a gun, and a
dog was with them. He warned them off, when Barnham
said, " What is it to do with you ?" Witness replitd that he
was bailiff and keeper to Mr. Noakes, when they wanted
to see his sho +Ong license. There were also eight or tea
men on the railway lemle armed with guns ready to
shoot any birds that defendants might put up. On
witness ordering eefenean's off, telling them there were
several c veys pr. served there, Burnham e.id he shenld go
where he liked, and proceeded along the railway bank
followed by his cempaniors, until they arrived at a fir
plantation, his master's property, where four or five par-
tridges were put up. Five gnus were fired, and one bird
killed. Burnh.im confessed that he was in the meadow,
but he was not aware that he was trespassing. Mullindar
denied having been in the meadow. He was on the rail-
way bank, not in search cf genie, but fur the purpose of
shooting small birds for stuffing. John Brook, a witness
for the defence, sail he could prove that Mullindar was
not the wan who was with Buishani in the meadow.
Mr. Traill : It has been swern that he wes the man. Who
was it, then, that was committing the offence ? Brook :
Why it was me, sir. (Laughter.) Mr. Traill : Do you
distinctly swear that you were the man in company with
Burnham in Mr. Noakes's meadow and fir planation ?
Brook : I do, sir. It was net him but Myself. Mr.
Traill : In that UM I shall dismiss the summons against
Mullindar, and issue one against you. With resp.2.ct to
Burnham, it has been clearly proved he has trespassed, both
is the meadow and fir plantations, the object being a
search for game. I shall thereften itflict upon him a
penalty of 40.., and 7s. cOete. Burnham having paid the
money, a summons against B:ook wee at once issued, to be
decided on a future day.

POLICE I N TELLIGENCE -YEST IRDAY

LIVERPOOL.

lIIIFORE MR. MANSFICLD.

TIME TO GET :ours.—A respectable-looking female,
named Mary Jones. described as the wife of a respectable
joiner residing in Hornby.street, was charged with having
stolen a watch from Mrs. 0 rene, of 22, B•enton-street,
Park. It eitpeered that about three weeks ago, the
prisoner was at the house of complainant, from which she
took the watch, and pie 'ged it for 253. She 1-st the
ticket, and !hen she got en affidavit, and sold that for
15s to a young man, who released it; and thus it was
traced. Detective, fficer Marks said the prisoner was
continually crank. She was drunk for the last seven
days, and her hesband was to be pitied, as he was a
respectable man. His Worship sent her to jail for three
months under the Criminal Jurisdiction Act, and that time
will siebr her.
Are lINMAI LT BL ACKGU k R.D.—Mstthew Fairelough, a
cooper, living in High Park-street, was charged with
having stabbed an intelligent boy named John Hartley.
Mr. Black defended. It appeared that the boy and his
mother lodged in the prisoner's h use, and that his wife
and the boy's mother, had some words about rent. On
Tuesday evenir g, the woman and boy were in their room,
when the prisoner entered and struck the woman a violent
blow, whicn kn -.eked her head right through a window.
The boy iaterfered, when the prisoner took up a knife
and stabbed him in the upper lip Mr. Bluck cross-exa-
mined the boy and his mother, but their evidence aas
not shaken. A surgeon proved that the wound, although
not dangerous, would leave a mark on the boy for life.
The prisoner was sent for trial but bail was accepted for
him on the application of Mr. Black.
NOT THE REAL "Tue." John Walmeeley, a carter, was
charged with stealing 39 sheets of tin. The prisoner was
employed to cart the tin from a Swansea vessel to one
bound for Rio, and broke one of the boxes, and
concealed the quantity stated in a horse rug, but was dis-
covered with it on his lorry. The prisoner pleaded guilty,
and was sentenced to three months hard labour.
Tux CORN ROBBERY.—Martin White and John Morris,
were brought up on remand, charged with stealing eight
bags of wheat, the property of Messrs. A. F. and R.
Maxwell, Brunswick street. The particulars .f the case
have already been published. White was in the employ of
Messrs Maxwell, and on Tuesday, the Bth of this month,
he was engaged in dischargitg wheat in the Nelson dock,
from the ship C. J. Mayer, iato a fist. It was proved
that he and Morris engaged a carter to remove eight bags
of the wheat, and when it was seized by a constable, while
in Morrie's possession, White came forward and produced
a document, purporting to be an order for its delivery.
The warehouseman of Mess-e. Maxwell now proved that
no such order had ever been issued, and the prisoners were
accordingly committed for trial at the sessions. Mr.
Goodere appeared for the prisoners.

BEFORE MESSRS. AIKIN AND HAMILTON.

Mr. S. T. Stoney, ironfounder, of Jordan-street, was Clad
103. and costs for allowing smcke to issue onr of his
premises ; and Mr. Shelton, Bedford street, Park, wag
lined £1 for a like sm,,ke nuisance.

&Lust° Bto I'm:min—Mr. James Flynn, corn and
1 flour factor, of Drnry-lane, appeared on summons issued
at the instance of the Health Committee, to show cause
why a penalty should not be imposed on him far the sale
I of five sacks of unsound flour, c mtrary to the pr, wisions
of the Public Health Act. The cat e was tried on the 27th
of last month before Messrs. Dixon and Ceostliwaite, and ull
that occasion it was fully reported. The magistrates then
decided that the flour was unfit for human use, and the
question now was as to the amount of the penalty. Mr
linGlowan, whe appeared on behalf of the Heath Commit.
tee, said that every day multitudes of po3r penp7e attended
at the Cornwallis-street offices, to complain of the p3ison-
i: one character of the flour and bread sold to them. He felt
grieved to say that it was the general practice of the trade
to sell damaged flour nefit for human use, and the object
of this prosecution was not to squeeze a heavy penalty
from Mr. Flynn, who was in no degree worse thin his
neighbours, but for the purpose, if possible, of
suppressing -a vary nefarious practice, and pro-
, tecting the poor. He believed that Mr. Flynn
bought the flour from a miller in Manchester, who was
lescribed as holding a high position in the trade It
night be so ; it might be that in his own city he was a
provincial magistrate, but ho (Mr. M Gowan) should be
mermitted to say that it was most dishonest
monduct to sell such flour for human consumption with the
serfect knowledge that it was unfit for that use. When
he act came into operation the Health Committee sent a
ropy of the clause nn :er which the present prosecution was
ostituted to each of the c3rn dealers in the borough, and
be committee were ready to aid in every way in their
power in the disposal of uner and corn and flour for the
oannfactare of starch and other like purposes. A number
f poor women attended in court, and exhibit, d bread
lade from unsound flour, but which had been sold to
iem as good and wholesome. The bread was quite unfit
rr.ten,—Q2S appeared for Mr. Flynn, said that 'tie had
lerely sold it on commission, and that at the time he be-
eyed it was wholesome tour, though slightly damaged.
Er. Aiktn said that the bench were quite inclined to
elieve that Mr. Flynn was a mere agent in the matter,
2d that, in the first instance, when he sold the flour, he
id no reason to think it bad. They felt bound, however,
inflict a fine, not so much for the purpose of p tnishing
m, as to let the public know that they should be careful
selling flour for human use, knowing, at the same time,
at it was unsound. The Bench, in consequence, should
pose a fine of 40s and costs.
