to 93 lc per. Of Cinn^...mon importations are
1 000 packages uel. r 14st season, deliveries for home
consumption rather ab-,ve, but 800 less for exportation;
stock is rather larger and rates 41 to 8d lower. The
imports of West India Ginger during 1851 exceeded
those of 1850 by 1,300 cask, deliveries for home con-
sumption were 1,000 more ; stock is 1,000
casks larger, and rates much lower for in-
ferior and middling, bat in good and fine there is
little difference. Ot East India and African the quantity
imported during the past year was 15,000 bags &c., less
than in the preceding one; in home trade deliveries little
difference is apparent, bat there is a decrease for expor-
tation of 15,000; the stock is 3,000 bags larger, and
rates much lower for home trade sorts, but in export
kinds there is scarcely any difference compared with
1851.
Ismicto.—There is an excess in arrivals of East India
here over the year 1850 of 5,000 chests; deliveries for
all purposes exhibit an increase of 600 chests; stock is
3,000 chests more than at the close of last season, and
rates from 6d to is 6d per lb lower. There is still only a
trifling home and shipping demand, and those parties
disposed to sell are compelled to accept terms 2d to 3d
per lb under the last quarterly sales. An improved de-
mand is, however, expected to take place shortly for
real consumption, as stocks in second hands are light.
Although little is doing in Spanish holders are firm, and
require for Flores 4s 101 to ss; Sobres 4s to 4s 9d;
Cortes, good to fine, 3s 6d to 4s; mid 2s 8d to 3s 3d;
very low and ord la to 2s 6d. These rates rule under
the preceding season. by 6d to is per lb. Imports in
1851 were 4,400 serous more than in 1850; the increase
in deliveries 5,800, and the decrease in stock amounted
to 600 Berens.

COCHINEAL.—The present value of Honduras Silvers
is 2s 8d to 43 2d, black 33 2d to 4s 4d; Mexicon 3s to
3s 61 Fr lb. An improved demand is expected to take
place shortly.
SALTPETRE.—At present little business is doing, but
holders are firm, and require 24s 6d to 28s 6d for Cal-
cutta, 24s to 26s for Madras. British refined is held
for 29s to 293 6d, and at the same time last year 31s to
31s 63. Of Nitrate of Soda imports fall short of last
season by 1,500 tons, deliveries are rather less. Few
buyers are to be met with, and there are sellers at 133 to
134 6].

TALLow.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow
went off at full rates. Of 4,000 casks Australian tho
chief part sold; good to fine mutton 353 6d to 37s

fine 344 to 35s 9d.

Oms.—There is at present little business doing in
Fish Oils, at the same time holders are not disposed to
press sales. Cod is held for 32/ to 321 103, psle Seal 321
to 321 53, other sorts 29/ to 311 10s, Southern 32/ to 351,
and Sperm 851 to 861. Of Seal the stock is 220
and of Cod 250 tons; Rape Oil met with a slow sale;
brown at 30s to 30s 6d, pale 31s to 31s 6d, and Refined
Foreign 333 to 33s 6d. There is at present little doing
in Linseed Oil, and 26s 6d to 26$ 9d is the value
on the spot. Palm met with a slow sale, fine at 263.
The demand for Cocoa Nut is good; Cochin and Ceylon
32s to 353. The value of Olive is 401 to 43/ per tun, but

J ANUARY 8, 1852:

(B3f)re Mr. Commissioner Purrmr3 )
IN RE V.)EIN HALL TIIOMPCON.
114 insolvent was a tailor at Camden Town.
Mr. Cooke opposed for two creditors, and Mr.
Dowse supported.
The opposing creditors had offered to settle their
complaints before the bearing, and the Court held that
they had in consequence no individual ground of
coalpialut. It app-I,.,red that the irrF4olvent l;een
'nixed up in bid transactions and liabilities for other

persons.
His Honour considered that he should be wonting
in his public duty if he did not give a remand for six
months, under the discretionary clause, for the liabi-
lities. They must be stopped.
The insolvent was remanded nen irdingly.
The Courts sat till nearly six o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
MANSION-HOUSF,.
Henry Richey, town traveller to Messrs. Berens
and Blumberg, of St. Paul's Churchyard, foreign
goods importers, was brought up in the custody of
Trew the officer, enarged with having robbed his
employers.
Trew said—ln consequence of information received
by me, I went to the warehouse of the prosecutors,
and saw the prisoner come out at a quarter past nine
in the morning with two paper parcels, one under
each arm. He went to a coffee-shop in Lomberd-
street, and after having remained there an hour and
a half, walked into Cornhill and returned to Bow-
lane, where, at the corner of Basing-lane, he waited
some time walking backwards and forwards. I then
saw a Jew whom I know well come towards him.
The prisoner, when he saw the Jew turned up Ba-
sing-lane, and I followed the Jew, being aware that
he knew me. The Jew turned round: Distaff-lane, and
the prisoner passed. I observed the Jew make a signal
with his hand, and the prisoner passed on rather
quicker, and went to Old 'Change and waited again.
I then went up to the prisoner and asked him what he
was doing there ? He said, " Do you know who I
am ? lam Berens and Blumberg's traveller." I said
"I am aware of that," and I told him that I saw
something suspicious between the Jew and him, and
I wanted to know what the business was. He said
he had seen no Jew. I asked him if he had any
other property about him besides the two parcels he
carried. He said " No." I then felt something in his
coatpacket, and asked him what that was? He made
no answer. I then put my hand in, and found that
it was a musical-box, and be said it was all right, as
he had to sell such things. I then took him to the
warehouse of his employers, where, in the presence of
Mr. Wood, the principal manager, he said he had had
the box three years. He afterwards produced a
cigar-case from his pocket. The parcels which the
prisoner had in his possession were correct. They
were samples which had been regularly entered, and
he had to take them out.
The prisoner—l declare solemnly that all the officer
said about the Jew is false.
Webb, the officer—l was with Trew, and I saw
the Jew. I received the address of the prisoner from
Mr. Wood, and proceeded to his house, and in the
back parlour I found a number of articles, which the
prosecutors identified as part of their stock.
A warehouseman to the prosecutors said he was
with Webb, the effiaer, when the articles produced
by that witness were found. He believed they were
all the property of the prisoner's employers ; and,
although he could not swear to the musical-box and
the cigar-case, he believed them to belong to Messrs.
Berens and Blumberg.
The prisoner, after the evidence was concluded,
slid," I admit that I have taken all the property
produced, and that the articles belong to my em-
ployers."—He was committed for trial.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Henry Wolfe and Mr. Isaac Lyons, umbrella
and parasol manutecturers, of E irl-street, Blackfriars,
were charged with obtaining, under false pretences,
a large quantity of silks and other goods on credit,
within three months of their bankruptcy, with intent
to defraud their creditors.
Mr. Ballantine stated that the prosecution had been
directed by Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque. The
prisoners had been carrying on business in Cripplegate
from October, 1850, until November, 1851, when
they became bankrupt, and their accounts, on being
examined by Messrs. Farrington, showed a deficiency
of 3,0001., which had doubtless been laid by to meet
this contingency. The charge would be that
of obtaining goods, even within a few days
of the date of the fiat in bankruptcy, of Messrs.
Ellis and Everington, to the amount of 5001.,
which bad since been pledged, but in this instance
Messrs. Ellis and Everington invited the prisoners to
purchase the goods, and therefore it might be con-
tended that there was no false pretence. That,
however, was only one case out of a great number,
and he would not dwell upon that, but proceed to
another, in which the prisoners had obtained a large
quantity of goods of Messrs. Pawson, of St. Paul's
Churchyard, and pawned them at Muncaster and
Warre's.
Mr. Warre was then called, who stated that silk
goods had been pledged with him on the Bth, 9th, and
12th of September, 1851, for about 1201,, and re-
deemed on the 28th of October, and that his transacs
tions with John Moss, who pledged these goods, and
represented himself as the agent of Moss Davis, of
Earl-street, Blackfriars, amounted to about 1,0001., on
which he charged 15 per cent., whether it was in for
one month or a year.
Mr. Pollock, the registrar in Commissioner Fon-
blanque's court, produced and verified the proceed-
ings against the prisoners in bankruptcy, and identi-
fied the prisoners as the parties against whom the
Commissioners had directed this prosecution. The
date of the fiat was the 19th of November, 1851.
Mr. Ballantine then stated that he would be able
to show that the goods alluded to by Mr. We.rre as
having been pledged for the amount stated formed
part of the 3,0001. that was entirely unaccounted for,
the whole of which goods were obtained and disposed
of within a period of five or six months. He there-
fore applied for an adjournment, and that the amount
of bail should be somewhat larger than that fixed in
the cases of Davis and Boyd.
Alderman FABEBROTEIER then said he thought
that two bail of 250/. each, and 5001. recognizences
for each of the prisoners would meet the wishes of all
parties.
The usual notice having been given, the prisoners
were remanded for further examination.
BOW-STREET.
Henry Attwoed, a constable of the F division, and
Richard Moss, of the P division, appeared before Mr.
Hall, to answer a charge of committing wilful perjury.
The prosecution arose out of a case heard before
Mr. Hall, on the 11th of December last, and reported
in The Sun of the following day. The two constables
had been placed on duty the previous evening at
Jullien's promenade concert (the last of the series) at
Drury-lane Theatre, and at the close of the enter-
tainment they took two young men into custody on
the charge of picking pockets. The prisoners,
Thomas Wilkie Adam and Ernest Francatelli, were
placed at the bar, and the statements then made on
oath before the magistrate, and upon which the young
men were committed for trial, were those to which
the present charge of perjury relates. With regard
to the charge against the young men, the bill was
ignored by the grand jury at the Westminster ses-
sions.
The alleged wilful misstatements of the policemen
at Bow-street were to the effect, that they had seen
the two prisoners together during the whole of the
evening, excepting a short interval of a few minutes,
in the pit or promenade of the theatre, where Adam
was "steadfastly watching the pockets of several la-
dies," and both of them occasionally touching the
dresses of the ladies, apparently with the view of feeling
if there was anything in their pockets. Richard Moss
further swore that he saw Adam" pass something shiny,
like a watch, into the hands of Francatelli," and
when the young men were leaving the theatre in the
crowd, one of them said to the other, " Push me,
Tom," to which a reply was given, " o along, Ro.
bert." Both the constables swore to the fact that
" they distinctly saw Adam's hand in a woman's
pocket." The prisoners were searched at the police-
station, and an empty purse and a pair of gloves were
found on Adam, and produced in court by Attwood,
who informed the magistrate that the gloves did not
fit the prisoner, but were too large for him. The
prisoner Adam denied this statement, and said that
the constable had never ascertained if the gloves fitted
him; upon which Attwood said he had tried them
upon himself, and as they were too large for him, he
c mthuesnt
on
prisoner.clude d
mthar.t eHally gave
abvee also
the tprisoneroo l large for
oppor-
tunity of putting on the gloves, and it was found that
they fitted him exactly, while it was further proved
that the gloves were in Adam's possession before he
went to the concert, having been in fact purchased for
the occasion. The magistrate consequently repri-
manded the constable Attwood for having made such
a conjecture to prejudice the case, and directed a
note of such reprimand to be appended to the de-
positions.

The Learned Counsel for the prosecution having
opened the case with a statement of the above particu-
lars, and observed that the present proceedings were
instituted by the respectable parents of the young
men to vindicate their characters,
Ernest Francatelli was sworn and examined. He
stated that he was 17 years of age, and lived with his
father (the cook of a club-house) at 10fi,
He had known Adam for 10 years, and, although
not in the habit of being out together in the evening,
he accompanied:him to Jullien's on the night in ques-
tion. They were together during the whole titre,
ex.ippting a few minutes, when Adam left him to go
round the other side of the orchestra. They neither
of them locked at the pockets or touched the dresse
of any lady present, and nothing " shiny, like a
watch, had passed between them." Once during the
evening 2d. was handed from one to the other to pay
a waiter, and that was all.
