with West India Sugar, chiefly by the recent arrivals;
merchants were desirous to realize, end accepted prices
6d per cwt under those of Friday, :.till both grocers and
refiners operated with caution, and the purchases were 550
hhds, including at auction 327 hhds 12 tierces and 4 brls

good mid and good 35; to 375, mid 333 to 343 6d, and
inferior 30a to 32; 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day there was a reluctance to operate
in Refined Sugar for home consumption, and prices de-
clined, brown lumps selling at 453 to 45s 6d, and ord to
fine Grocery at 46; to 48s per ewt. Crushed Sugar is
in good report for shipping, but can easily be obtained
at previous terms.

Mauritius Sugar by private contract rather under the
teem; of Friday, yet only small parcels were disposed of,
and none was submitted to public sale.

floating cargoes of Foreign Sugar, easier rates being
taken. Since Friday five cargoes of 'yellow Ilavannah

Duty paid parcels continue to be operated in with much
cumin% None of any sort was oflereA at public sale.

to operate in Bengal. Sugar, and supply being more plea-
tiful prices slightly declined. Of 6,900 bags at auc-
tion barely ene:lialf found buyers ; Benares fine

Madras 800 bag; 3314 at 2G3 to 26; 6d for ord soft yellow,
and good brown 254 to 25s 6d; these are barely former
rates.

COFFEE -This afternoon there was a reluctance to
operate in Plantation Coylen Coffee, and a smell reduc-
tion took place. Of 320 casks at auction about one-half
found buyers; fine sorts went at 64s to 676 6d, good
mid to good 583 to 635, low mid to mid 54; to 57s 6d,
other sorts 47a to 533, and Triage 423 to 475. For Native

taken in at 44s for good ord. Only small parcels sold
privately at 43s 6d to 445. Other aorta of Coffee at-
tracted little notice, and 2,900 bags Costa Rica were
taken in at 48s for fine ord, and 15 casks Jamaica cold at
46s to 493 61 for fine to fine fine ord.
MOLASSES.-Operations have been upon a small scale
in West India, supply is increasing, and there are sellers
at rather lower rates. Barbadoes and Antigua can be ob-
tained at 14s 6:1 to 15s, St. hilt's, Trinidad, and St.
Vincent's 133 61 to 14s 6d, and other sorts 123 6cl to 13s
per cwt. The terms required for Porto Rico and Cuba
are 14s 6d to 15s 6d, Bengal and Mauritius 123 to 12s
63; few buyers are, however, to be met with.
COCOA.- West India is not generally offered under
previous terms, but less demand exists, and privately
only small parcels have been sold; red Trinidad at 33s
to 38s, fine 39s to 425, and grey 303 to 335. At auction
34 bugs sold at 32s 6d to 333 for fine grey, 9 trcs low
Dominica 275, and 353 bags Grenada were taken in at
28s to 31s for low to mid. The rates required for better
sorts are 323 to 363. For foreign there is still a firm
market, and several transactions have taken place;
Bahia and Para at 253 to 258 6d, and Guayaquil at
303 per cwt.
TES---The better descriptions of Congou are at pre-
sent only in limited demand, and rather lower rates have
been accepted, there being a plentiful supply; for inferior
a good demand now exists, still there are sellers at pre-
vious terms. The prices accepted for low are 7d to lid,
good common sound 8d to Bid, ra blksh leaf to blksh
leaf 9d to 10id, strong and Pekoe kinds lld to Is 63.
Souchong of fine and good quality sells freely at better
prices, is ld to is 10d having been currently obtained,
but in inferior and mid, sales keep small at 8d to is.
Oolong has been dealt in with more freedom; good to
fine Is to is 7d, and inferior 8d to 11d. Pouchong of
clean quality is wanted at 51 to 7d, and few parcels are
on offer. There is a larger supply of true Young Hyson,
good to fine Gunpowder, fine Imperial and superior Canton
Gunpowder, but there still being a largo demand, previoua
terms are well maintained. Other sorts of Green have
been purchased with caution, especially inferior Ilyson
and Canton Young Hyson, prices for which incline
downwards. The following are the current quotations:

Mr. METCALFE said that by his advice the prisoner
had pleaded " Guilty," for there was no answer to the
charge. He had a wife in very delicate health and two
or three children, o► whom ho was the solo support.
His friends, he might gate, were extremely respectable,
but he (Mr. Metc4tle) did not consider it necessary for
him to drag them butore the public. He then called,
Mr. W. Li. Dodd, a bookseller, who stated that the
prisoner was formerly his apprentice. He left his ser-
vice in 1848, and set up in business for himself.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE inquired of Mr. Bohn if be
had received a character with him?

Mr. Bohn explained that he employed him, knowing
that he had been in business on hia own account, and
proper security was to be given by him, which was not,
however, entered into when he left.
Mr. CLAIIKSON observed that the prisoner communi-
cated to Mr. Bohn, through his attorney, when the ac-
counts were sent in, and through his information about
601. Out oi the 801. he had received was accounted for.
The ASSISTANT•JUDSE said that, as he had pleaded
guilty, the Court had every inclination to deal merci-
fully with him; but the offence he was guilty of was one
of a most serious nature, and it would not do for the
public to think that persons employed like him in confi-
dential situations could get off with hardly cony puni4h-
went because the prosccutor came forward in a kindly
spirit, and because the prisoner himself at the last mo-
ment made
17what reparation ho could by confessing his
guilt.
lie then sentenced him imprisonment with
hard labour for 12 months.
