MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 7.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was more confidence on the
part of importers of West India Sugar, the demand was
brisk for home trade purposes, and the rates obtained
61 per cwt. above those of Friday. Operations are 900
hogsheads, including at auction 184 hogsheads Barba-
does, which went at a similar improvement; fine yellow
selling at 37s to 38s, midding to good 32s 6d to 33s 6J,
low 303 6d to 323; 100 land 3 GO trca Jamaica, brown
303 63 to 31s 6d, low to middling yellow 328 to 345,
and 97 brls Tobago common yellow 31s 6d to 325, and
middling to fine brown 303 to 31s per ewt. The market
for Colonial Sugar closes under favourable circumstances.
REFINED.—To-day there was a reluctance to operate
in Refined Sugar for home consumption, brown lumps
were offered at 433 to 43s 6d, and common to fine
grocery at 443 to 4556 d per cwt. Crushed continues to
attract little attention from exporters.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon several parcels of Mau-
ritius Sugar were cold privately, and at auction 2,117
begs were disposed of at stiffer rates—fine yellow went
at 35s to 36s 63, good 34s to 34 6d, mid 32s 63 to 33s
6d, low 31s to 325, good to fine brown 233 6d to 30s 61,
and refining sorts from 3041 to 35s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was an increased
demand for Bengal Sugar, and prices advanced 63 to Is
per cwt. At public sale 2,250 bags were sod—Benares,
good white at 36s 61 to 373 6d, low to middling 34s Gd
to 365, fine like Mauritius 345 to 36s per cwt. Of
Madras several parcels found buyers privately at stiffer
rates. At auction 210 bags went at stiffer rates, viz.,
at 36s 6d for good grocery. Orders are on the increase
for Penang, and 2,042 bags at public sale sold at very
full rate, low to middling soft yellow at 27s to 295, and
fine brown at 26s to 26s 6d.

FOREIGN.—To-day privately little was done in Foreign
Sugar, still holders declined to sell under previous rates.
None was offered at auction, but 2,250 bags brown Per-
nambuco, and 1,200 cheats yellow Havannah are declared.
MOLASSES.—Previons prices are required for West
India, yet little has been done; sales are only 160 puns
Antigua, at 14 61 to 15s, and a small parcel St. Lucia 12s
to 123 61- The rates demanded for Bengal and Mauri-
tius are 12; to 123 63, and 133 6d to 153 for Cubs and
Porto Rico; at present few buyers are to be met with,
and supply is mere plentiful. Of Tamarinds several
parcels have been sold, East India at 7s to 12s, and
West India 24s to 425. A good demand exists for
Honey, Jamaica 35s to 545, Cuba 34s to 403, and Nar-
bonne 50s to 60s per cwt, but there is a more plentiful
supply.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee
was in excellent demand, and stiffer rates were obtained.
At auction 86 casks, 12 brls, and 1,500 bags were dis-
pased;of; good mid to good realised 60s to 635, low mid to
mid 54s to 595, other sorts 50s to 53s 6d, small 48s to 493,
triage 44s to 48s. Of Costa Rica 1,000 bags went at
very full prices, good to fine ord at 458 6d to 535. Of
Tellicherry 70 cases realized 56s for fine ord; but 450
bags Singapore Java were taken at 463 6d to 478 for
good ord, being above the value. Native Ceylon met
with more attention, and the parcels sold privately were
at 435 61 to 44s 61 for good to fine ord. Mocha is wanted,
and at former rates there are few sellers.
TEk—There continues to be a large home trade de-
mand for low to good common Congou, with several ex-
port buyers; rates rule firm at 81 to 80 per lb. The
better sorts are held with firmness, but have been ope-
rated in with caution—rather blackish leaf to blackish
leaf at 91 to 100, strong and Pekoe sorts lid to is 6d:
at a small reduction there are many buyers. Souchong is
still wanted, but no advance, supply being more plenti-
ful—the rates paid for common to mid are 81 to Is, good
to fine is to Is 101 In Oolong little has been done,
still prices remain at 3d to 1 Id for low to mid, and is to

clean Pouchoug at 5d to 70, and there is no increase of
supply. Operations in Greco }lave been upon a small scale

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Louisa Payne, carrying on the business of a butcher
at 75,
Snow-hill, was summoned under the City of
.London Sewers' Act of 1851, for slaughtering sheep
in a cellar that was more than 18 inches below the
surface of the street, and unregistered, against the
statute.

The inspector of slaughter-houses for the City gave
evidence to the effect that on Friday, the 27th of
August last, he saw three slaughtered sheep in the
defendant's cellar, several ready for killing, and men
in the act of slaughtering others. The cellar was six
feet below the surface of the street.
Defendant said that she was merely conducting the
business for the creditors of her brother, who died
about 12 months ago, and had used the cellar as a
slaughtering. house without complaint for 20 years,
and that she had only continued the same thing in
total ignorance of acting illegally.
The inspector said there was a penalty for putting
live sheep in a cellar.
Alderman MOON said, es this was the first case of
the kind under the new Act, he should like to have
the advice of a brother magistrate, and Sir Peter
Laurie accordingly was sent for, when the defendant
was informed that she had incurred several penalties ;
but, as she bad promised to discontinue the use of the
cellar, she would be leniently dealt with. Tee de-
fendant was then fined 51., half the maximum penalty
for the principal offence ; but, on her circumstances
being represented to the magistrates, they mitigated
it to 21. 10s. and costs, which were immediately paid.
BOW-STREET.
William Clout and William Dowding were brought
before Mr. Henry for final examination on the charge
of stealing official forms and stationery from the War-
office. William C. Bussell and John Ladd appeared
on their recognizances to answer the charge of having
knowingly received the stolen property.
Mr. Clerk, as counsel for the Crown, stated that
after a minute investigation into the circumstances of
the case, they had resolved to abandon the charge
against the alleged receivers ; and he suggested that
they should be examined as witnesses to strengthen
the evidence against Clout and Dowding. As a state-

Parry, counsel for Bussell, hoped it would go
forth that his client was entirely exonerated from any
a the person accused had
imputation of criminality in these transactions,
although blameable to some extent, perhaps, for
having made such purchases without sufficient caution.
Mr. Hessler—That may he inferred, I presume,
from the course which the Crown has taken in with-
drawing the charges against Bussell and Ladd.
William Gell, the messenger referred to, was then
examined—He stated thatehe had been sixteen years
in the War-office as messenger and librarian, having
the entire charge of the books. Ile had known the
two prisoners, Clout and Dowding, for eight months
past, during which they had been employed in remov-
ing books and papers from one floor to another, owing
to a change of rooms. The bulk of the papers and
printed forms,, now produced had been kept in the
4, form-room, an were part of the stock which
witness authorised the prisoners to remove from one
room to another. FT
eses never gave either of them
authority to sell any of it as waste paper. While
the alterations were going on witness gave Dowding
a number of printed pamphlets to sell for him as
waste paper, but they were upon a private subject,
and had nothing whatever to do with the War-
()flee. They have been in his (witness's) possession
about two years, having been originally given to him
by Mr. W. Brown, a clerk in the. accountant-depart-
ment. Before sending out those pamphlets, witness
took the precaution to show them to the chief mes-
senger, Mr. Griffin, in order to satisfy him that they
were not official pipers. Dowding sold them for
7s. Gi., and witness gave him 8i for his trouble.
Witness also asked Dowding to sell some old almanac
frames, which Mr. Griffin had given him. Formerly
it was usual for the Government stationer to supply
new frames with the almanacs every year. Two or
three years ago an order was given to have the new
almanacs pasted in the old frames, to save expense.
Last year it haying been found that the pasting cost
as much as the new frames, a Treasury order was
given Thefor the latter. old frames were then given
to witness as perquisites, because he had had the
trouble of pasting the almanacs upon them ; and
these were the frames which he asked Dowding to
dispose of.
William John Griffin, senior
messenger and house-
keeper at the War-office, confirmed the statements of
Gell respecting the pamphlets ,
which were upon the
subject of the` Eton question," and had nothing to
do with the office. Witness also proved that the
regarded as •
almanac-frames had been their perqui-
sites for 50 years, and longer, by tradition.

stated that he had occasionally called Mr.

knew, getticg about 31 a pound for it. (The pri-

Mr. Strange, 14, Broadway, deposed to having
purchased a quantity of similar paper from Dowding
and Mr. Housego, butcher, Mr. Mirley, and other
tradesmen, who had purchased of Ladd, gave evidence
of the facts.
Mr. Scott Robinson, of the War-office, identified
all the property produced, as well as some additional
quantities which had been found by Sergeant Prit-
chard in a vault under the War-office, a key of which
was taken from the pocket of the prisoner Clout.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
