LONDON,

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11

from 40s to 81s for ord to good; 10 cases Cochin at 32s
to 32s 6d per cwt. for ordinary.
SPIRITS -Few buyers of Demerara Rum are to' be
met with, although 33 to 40 per cent overproof is being
offered at 2s to 2s Id per gallon, and 28 to 32 over at is
10d to Is lid per gallon. In Leeward Island sales have
been immaterial, and is 5d to is hid is now the value
of proof; but supply is not more plentiful. East India
has been operated in with caution, and is 4d
is the quotation for fair quality. There is no
general decline for Jamaica; still exporters and home
dealers are reluctant to make purchases, and supply is
plentiful. Superior marks 35 to 38 per cent over proof
can be obtained at 3s 4d to 33 10d, fine 2s 9d to 3s 3d,
good mid to good 32 to 35 over 2s 3d to 2s Bd, mid 30
to 32 over 2s to 2s 2d, and low 26 to 28 over is 10d to
Is Ild per gallon. The value of Havannah is ls 3d to is
3d proof. In the British made Spirit trade there is not
much activity, still rates are not lower, ruling at 9s 7d to 9s
8d cash; Gin 812 d to 8s 3d for 22 under, and 17 ditto 8s 8d
to 8s 9d. Geneva met with more attention at is 8d to
Is 9d, and fine ditto at 2s to 2s 3d per gallon. To-
day a large business was concluded in Brandy at
improved prices; sales made at 4s 7d to 4s 9d for Cognac
best brands of the vintage of 1851.
INpino.-Although there are few buyers of East In-
dia for the home or foreign markets, yet holders are
firm, and will not sell under last quarterly sale's terms.
Since
that time operations have not exceeded 800 chests.
Spanish is held with firmness, and there are several
buyers of ord sorts; at present goad or fine are meeting
with little attention.
CoCSINEAL.-This afternoon Cochineal met with little
attention, and rather lower rates were accepted. At
auction 220 bp were sold; Honduras silvers, good ord
to good 4s to 4s 2d Mexican 3s 10d to 3s I Id, and black
4s 2d to 4s 6d,
FRUIT.--Currants continue to be much in demand,
and there is a further advance, sales having been made
at 47s to 53s per cwt. Accounts are still very un-
favourable regarding the crop. Of Raisins many par-
cels have been sold at 33s to 34s for Valencia, and Denis
24s to 26s per cwt.
SALTPETRE.-No further decline has taken place, but
privately operations have been small for all purposes.
Of 1,700 bags Calcutta at auction were sold, refraction

Refineduna is held 29s 6d to 30s. In Nitrate of Soda
41 to 5i per cent at 28s to 28s 6d, 71 ditto 275, and 124

ruling

TALLow.-.A. reluctance has been evinced to operate
in Russian on the spot during the last few days, and
prices have slightly given way. There are sellers of
fine yellow Candle at 38s 3d per cwt. Operations are
rather important for delivery, still purchases can
be made at 38s 6d for the last three months
of the year. Home melted is in good demand, at 37s
to 37s 6cl cash; there are, however, sellers. Other sorts
of Tallow have sold rather freely, and a small advance.
At auction 490 casks Australian were nearly all dis-
posed of; mutton at 34s 6d to 38s 3d, beef 32s to 37s 6d
for low to fine; 350 casks South American 35s to 38s 3d
per cwt. Far auction 600 packages Tallow are declared.
PROVISIONs.-A good sale has been experienced for
Irish Batter, and there is a firm market. Sales of
Carlow, Clonmel, and Kilkenny were at 76s to 795,
Cork 73s to 755, Limerick 67s to 70s, Waterford 70s to
72a, Sligo and Tralee 66s to 68s per cwt. Dutch has
been in large demand, and the rise continues, supply
being limited at present. Friezland, fine has been
selling at 88s to 90s, surplus and seconds 66s to 80s,
Hempen and Zwolle fine 78s to 82s, Groningen 62s to
68s, Leer 68s to 725, Holstein and Kiel 76s to 86s.
English is plentiful, and met with a slow sale at 66s
to 90s, and Fresh 8s to lOs per dczen pounds.
Bacon is offered at lower prices, still dealers have
operated with reluctance, and there is a fair supply.
Irish sizeable is 623 to 68s, heavy 59a to 655, and
Hamburgh sizeable 62s to 68s per cwt. There are now
few buyers of bales or tierce middles, with sellers at
54s to 603. Lard continues to be much wanted, and
there is a further rise, Irish bladdered selling at 62s to
665, keg and firkin 54s to 58s, Hamburgh bladdered 603
to 645, and keg 54s to 575. For hams the market
.has
become quiet, and prices have given way, Irish
selling at 66s to 745, and English 74s to 78s. Navy
Provisions have been operated in with reluctance.
There are sellers of Beef-American India 71 to 71 10s

on a larger scale-Edam at 32s to 41s, Gouda 29s to
375, Kanter 17s to Ils 6d, and American 32s to 40s per
cwt.

FRANCE.
The preparations for the fete of the 15th are ac-
ively
wound its whole length round the column of the
progressing in Paris. The spiral has nearly
Place Vendome, fram the base to the summit, and the
skeleton fabric which is to figure forth the great St.
Bernard already rises over the Pont de la Concorde.
The pedestal, with eagles and statues, and its has-
relief, already covers the rand-point midway from the
Champs Elysees to the triumphal arch. The character
of these ornaments, even in their present incomplete
form, is eminently Imperial. The tradesmen of the
Presidential household are not backward in im-
parting the same tone to the decorations they affix
over their doors and shop windows. One in parti-
cular is evidently anxious for the time when the
needle shall be plied for an Imperial cus-
tomer. At the great tailoring establish-
ment on the Italian Boulevards, at the
corner of the rue Lepelletier, may even now be
seen the Imperial arms in plaster of Paris ; the eagle
issuing from the centre, and grasping in his claw the
star the Legion of Honour ; and the shield, en-

TURKEY.
Steam navigation has lately increased in an incre-
dible manner at Constantinople. More than twenty
steamers now ply daily in the Bosphorus and the Sea
of Marmora. It is said that a Russian company is
about to be formed, which will have twenty vessels to
run in opposition to those now established.
On the 19th ult., at four in the afternoon, a terrible
hurricane burst over Ibraila, in Wallachia. It only
lasted half-an-hour, but did great damage. The
losses along the Danube are immense. Several ves-
sels have gone down, and a number of persons have
been drowned. Every vessel at Ibraila suffered more
or less. In the country districts, for a radius of ten
miles, not a grain of wheat, maize, or barley remains,
all hare been destroyed.

CAPTURE OF JOHNNY BROOME.
(From a Second Edition of the Sussex Advertiser.)
TUESDAY MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.
By a special dispatch from Brussels, dated the Bth
inst., received at this office at the above hour, we learn
that those active and vigilant officers, Messrs. Morten
and Dadson, of Tunbridge Wells, have, after consider-
able difficulty, succeeded in capturing John Broome,
who, it will be remembered, absconded from his bail at
our assizes. It appears that on the discovery that
Broome had " bolted " from Lewes, a telegraphic com-
munication was dispatched to Superintendent Morten at
Tunbridge Wells, who immediately gave chase. His
efforts were, however, unsuccessful ; but steps having
been taken to " blockade the ports" on this coast, it was
suspected that Johnny was still lying perdue in England.
From information which Morten received last week from
the Chief Commissary of Police in Belgium, with whom he
had placed himself in communication, he proceeded to Lon-
don on Thursday last, whence having procured a letter
of introduction to her Majesty's Belgian Consul, and
fortified with a judge's warrant, he proceeded
forthwith to Ostend. It seems Broome bad been recog-
nised by the Belgian police, and, although at large,
was under close but unsuspected surveillance. From
Ostend Messrs. Morten and Dadson went forward to
Brussels, where they apprehended him while he was
sitting at dinner in that town, and he is now lodged
in prison. Broome has employed a solicitor, and pro-
tests against being conveyed to England. He declares
that foreign air is " so beneficial to his health" that he
will not return to this country. The Chief Officer of
Police at Brussels, however, says that he will be given
up. The parties were to have an interview with the
British Consul yesterday. Messrs. Morten and Dadson
fully anticipated reaching England with their protege
this day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
John Thomas Parry, the printer who was charged
at this court on Monday with attempting to commit
suicide, was brought up yesterday before Alderman

Cubitt, having been remanded for the attendance of
ee i eWv ee ts ht eLondon
of the prisoner.
Mr. Chamberlain, the relieving officer, appeared,
and stated that the prisoner's wife called on him on
Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, but having
visited No. 2, Holborn-buildings, the house in which
she was living, on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri-
day previous, and not seeing any signs of the destitu-
tion and distress complained of by the prisoner and
his wife, nor of the eight young children, he was in-
duced to doubt the truth of the wife's statement, and
therefore told her to send her husband. Soon after
she left the office he went to 2, Holborn-buildings,
again, for the purpose of satisfying himself of their
distressed state, and relieving them ; but he found no
one in the rooms generally occupied by the prisoner's
family, and on proceeding upstairs he only saw several
of the other lodgers lying about in a beastly state of
intoxication. If he had found the wife's circum-
stances in accordance with her statements, he would
have taken the whole family into the union at once.
The wife assured the Alderman that the statement
was correct as to the destitute condition of the
family, and added that she had lived five years in the
same house, but was out when Mr. Chamberlain
called.

Alderman CUBITT asked the prisoner for whom he
had worked ? The prisoner said he was working
latterly for Messrs. Woodfall, but that he only earned
2s. 6d. during the whole of last week.
Alderman CUBITT regretted that the prisoner should
have been placed in such a position ; however, some
very humane individual, under the name of "Type,"
had forwarded ss. for his (the prisoner's) use.
The money was then given to the wife, who ap-
peared very thankful for the trifling assistance, and the
prisoner was then discharged.
Mr. Chamberlain said he would immediately attend
to the wants of the family.
In the course of the afternoon Mr. Chamberlain
again attended and said, that since he left the court in
the morning, he had visited the prisoner's lodgings,
and instead of eight children being at home and with-
out bread, he found only four, besides two who were
earning 33. per week each. He had also ascertained
that the prisoner was an idle, drunken, profligate
character, and able to earn 21. per week, but when
he did so be never brought home more than about
12s. per week to his wife, who, at the time she ap-
plied for relief, he (Mr. Chamberlain) thought was
partially intoxicated, and who, he had since ascer-
tained, bad really been drinking.
Jane Moriat, who had lived 11 years in the house
adjoining, confirmed all that Mr. Chamberlain had
stated, and also said that the prisoner had plenty of
work if he would only attend to it-.
Alderman CUBITT said, be was convinced Mr.
Chamberlain had done his duty, and his explanation
had removed any reproach that might have been at-
tached to him in the first instance through an erro-
neous statement.

After the Alderman had left the bench, a letter was
received containing a donation of 51., from " E. H.,"
to be applied for the benefit of the prisoner and his
family ; and, if found not deserving, to be appro-
priated to any other charitable use the Alderman
might think fit. Two young men, printers, called
at the court to inquire if the prisoner was a de-
serving object, as they were getting up a subscription
in their office for him ; but, on being informed of
what had transpired, they expressed an intention to
assist the wife and children, but not to allow any
money to pass through the prisoner's hands. With
regard to the 53. from " Type," an acknowledgment
was requested in the papers.

HUSH EVIDENCE.
On the inquest at Six-mile-bridge, one of the wit-
nesses, John German, displayed a fair sample of the ec-
centricity and shrewdness so frequently displayed by
Hibernians, when on the table of Themis. The follow..
ing is the report of his cross-examination
Cross.examined by Mr. Graydon—l hold under Sir
Lucius O'Brien—long life to his honour—and I have
my receipts in my pocket--that's the chat—(Laughter)
—I couldn't tell how many people were in the lane, but,
Mr. Graydon—Hold your tongue, sir.
Witness—Sure 'cis you that's making me speak.
Mr. Graydon—Tell me, sir, how many people were
there ?—No answer.
Mr. Graydon—Come, sir, answer the question.
Witness—l don't know bow to answer your honour,
for fear of disobliging you.—(Laughter.) The people
in the garden were all standing up like fools, and God
knows I was the chief fool amongst them, for the cross
woman I have desired me to stay in bed that morning.
and if I did I would not see this,—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Graydon—ls your wife a young woman ? Wit.
hess—She was once young.—(Laughter.)
Cross-examination continued—l cannot tell how many
persons were there, for it was not them I was minding.
I cannot say whether, there were five or five hundred,
for I was dazzled. I went near enough not to be there
at all when the ball passed my two poor shins.
Mr. Graydon—Now this is too bad—answer, sir.
Witness—'Tis happy for the woman that owns you.
You're a pleasant man, God bless you.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Graydon—Did you see any women there? Wit-
ness—Arrah, man, how could I notice them when I was
not on the wall while you'd be taking a dust of snuff, if
you take any.
Mr. Graydon—What were you doing while on the
wall? Witness—Looking at the muzzles of the guns,
for they had bayonets screwed on, and I was afraid I'd
get a prod.
Mr. Graydon—How many men were in front of the
soldiers? Witness—l hadn't time, man, to do what you
are asking me.
Mr. Graydon—Were there men there at all? Wit-
nes—lt there were, they were in a bad place, that's all I
know. I wouldn't notice a woolpack there, I was so
frightened.
To the Coroner—There was not an " item" to pre-
vent two children passing through the lane; and as

Mr. Graydon—Hold your tongue, sir.
Witness—l wish to God you'd tell me to hold my
tongue entirely.—(Laughter.)
To Mr. Graydon—l saw no stones thrown in the lane
that day, and didn't see any soldiers struck. I did not
see any of the voters at all, for they were at the back.
The way I'd be on the safe side, I should say there were
from eight to twelve shots in the lane, and three or four
afterwards.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Commodore Lambert, who has been second in com-
mand in the East Indies, with a blue broad pendant in
the Fox, 42, and has conducted all the naval opersiions
at Rangoon, has bean appointed a first class commodore,
which, with his red pendant, will give him the pay and
privileges of a flag-officer. This gallant officer has won
this mark of distinction, and the appreciation of his ser-
vices is highly creditable to the Admiralty.
The commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral Austen, C. 8,,
,
has left the affairs at Rangoon entirely in the hands of
the 11
commodore, for in his ,g-ship Hastings 72, Cap-
tai▪ n Austen, and accompanied by the Sphynx, 6, steam-
sloop, Commander Shad well, and the Rattler, 9, screw-
sloop, Commander Mellersh, he ltft Rangoon, May 10,
for Penang.
Captain Thomas Wren Carter (1831), who last com-
manded the Caledonia, 120, has been selected by Rear-
Admiral Dundas, C. 8., the commander-in-chief in the
Mediterranean, as his flag captain, in the room of Cape
tat▪ n Goldsmith, who has returned to England on private
affairs.

Commander Lord John Hay (1851) has been appointed
to study steam at the factory, Woolwich.
Lieut. Arthur Tower (1842), of the Britannia, 120,
flag-ship in the Mediterranean, has been selected by the
Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, Vice-Admiral the
Hon. Joscelino Percy, C. 8., ai his fl ig lieutenant, vice
Lambert.

Lieutenants—J. A. 11. Boyd (1845), to the Victory
flag-ship, Portsmouth; George D. Murry (1847), to the
Inflexible steam-sloop, Portsmouth.
Mate—J. G. C. Evered, to the Queen, 116. Devonport.
Assistant-Surgeons—John Murphy, to the Jamaica
Hospital; Dr. H. C. Wilson, to the Highflyer screw-
frigate; Charles H. Chambers, acting of the Niger
screw-sloop, confirmed.
Midshipmen—Henry Batten, to the Impregnable flag
ship, Devonport; James A. Poland, to the Excellent;
W. J. Johnstone, to the Queen.
DOCKYARD.—S. R. Laish, foreman of sailmakers at
Sheerness, has been appointed to be master sailmaker at
Portsmouth. George Roome, at Deptford, to be foreman
of sailmakers at Sheerness.

OFF MALAGA, JULY 17.—The squadron, fourteen in
number, with Admiral Dundas; it blowing a good
breeze the Admiral sent the Trafalgar six miles to lee-
ward, and then started all the other ships to sail round
her, and then beat up to him. We rounded the Trafal-
gar in the following order—Phaeton, Vengeance, High-
flyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Albion, Arrogant, Bel-
lerophon, Dauntless. The Phaeton was four minutes
before Vengeance, which was half a minute before
Highflyer. In beating up to windward the latter soon
stepped to windward of ail except Phaeto❑ (White's
frigate), and rounded the Admiral as follows:—Phaeton,
Highflyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Vengeance, Albion,
Bellerophon, Dauntless, Arrogant.
In the afternoon the Admiral made signal for Phaeton
and Highflyer to try rate of sailing. It was blowing
fresh, and Phaeton carried away her maintopgallant yard,
and other little mishaps. The Admiral then annulled the
trial, but it was sufficiently evident Phaeton bad the best
of it; however it was a great triumph for Highflyer.
19/ll—The Admiral employed the forenoon in exer-
cising the ships in different manmuvres, forming orders
of sailing, lines of battle, retreat, &c.; after it was over
telegraphed " Highflyer very well."
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Niger, screw steam-sloop,
Commander Heath, came into Portsmouth Harbour this
morning to be examined; she will probably be docked to
have her paddle-shaft examined.

Vimiera, for Port Philip with emigrants, and the
Marlborough, Indiaman, sailed yesterday morning for
their destinations.

The Irish steam-packet Foyle embarked a portion of
the 7th Royal Fusiliers this morning from the dockyard,
and left with them in the afternoon for Plymouth. She
will return on Thursday for the remainder of the same
regiment. It seems a very peculiar feature in the con-
ducting of the transport service of the State, that whilst
men-of-war steam-frigates are lying ready for sea, but
listlessly inactive, in the roadstead and in harbour, that
the country should be put to the expense of hiring a
mercantile trading steamer to do the national work.
Does this matter lie with the Admiralty or the War-
office?
The Wasp, 14, Commander Pritchard (acting), sailed
from Spithead last night for Woolwich to refit, but whe-
ther before or after paying off is not known.
A survey is being held on the Harpy iron steam-ves-
sel to-day.
SHEERNESS, Aua. 10.—Her Majesty's ship Daphne,
18, Captain Fanshawe, had her powder taken out yes-
terday, and left at noon, in tow of the African steam-
tug vessel, for Chatham, where she will be dismantled
and.paid off.
Her Majesty's screw steam frigates, Amphion, 34, and
Horatio, 22, and paddle-wheel steam -vessel, Cyclops, 6,
have taken on board as much coal as they can stow, so
that they may be ready to proceed to sea, if required, at
the shortest possible notice.

EXPERIMENTS ON ANCHORS.
THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.— the third series of trials,
which were fixed to commence on Friday next, are post-
poned until the 20th inst.
We make this announcement to prevent disappoint-
ment to the numerous persons who have taken so much
interest in the results.
ERRATUM.—Ia the analysis of the results of the
second series of experiments on anchors (a report of
which appeared in The Sun of Monday) Mitcheson
and Sons' anchor was inadvertently stated to possess an
advantage of sixteen feet holding power over Li,,utenunt
Rodgers'd Exhibition prize anchor, instead of six feet.
