COLONIAL.

TEA.—There has been only a limited business 'trans-
acted ; prices, generally, however, are well maintained.
SUGAR.—Business has been dull, and for all descriptions
rather less rates have been accepted by holders. Refined
descriptions have continued at about previous quotations.
COFFEE.—A good business has been transacted, and
prices have shown a slight advance, particularly for good
and fine descriptions of Plantation Ceylon.

We understand that a soiree, under distinguished
patronage, for the sale of works of art, ladies' work, &c.,
with music and singing, will be held on Thursday evening,
the 10th April, at the Female School of Art, 43, Queen-
square, Bloomsbury, in aid of the Building Fund. Lady
Goldsmid, Mrs. Milner Gibson, Mrs. S. ,C. Hall, Mrs.
Temple Bowdoin, and other ladies have kindly promised to
assist. We hope that the public will give their support on
this occasion to this excellent institution.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day;)

BOW STREET.

A dirty looking woman named z;ZnelEmily Brown, was
charged with stealing a pair of trousers, a watch, and other
articles, the property of a young man named Garnish.
The prosecutor said last evening he had been with a few
friends, and as he was passing down Parliament-street, on
his road home he met the prisoner. She induced him to
accompany her home, and he supposed he consented, as
when he was awoke by the constable in a low brothel he
did not know where he was. After he got out of bed he
found the constable had got his trousers in his hand. He
had been undressed by somebody, and put into bed.
Police Constable F 13, said he was on duty this morninZ
about three o'clock in the Coal-yard, in Drury-lane, when
in consequence of a noise proceeding from a low brothel, he
went in, and while there he saw the prisoner pass the par'
lour door with something in her hand. He went out and
found her with a pair of trousers, in the pocket of which
were a silver watch and chain, a gold pin, and a bunch Of
keys. Ho asked her where the man was who owned the
trousers, and she said she did not know. He (witness)
went to the opposite house, No. 8, and there found the
prisoner in bed. He roused him up, and asked him if he
had lost anything, and he said he did not know. He
showed him the trousers, and he at once identified them a°
his property. The watch, pin, and keys, he also said, be-
longed to him. When he took the prisoner into custody
she denied robbing the man.
Prisoner—l didn't rob him ;he gave me the watch, a°
he had no money to pass the night with me.
Mr. Corrie—Well, but he did not give you his trousers.
Prisoner—You see, sir, the watch was in the pocket of
the trousers, and I thought I had better take the things
as they were to a friend of mine, to see that the watch was
worth anything.
Mr. Corrie—l don't believe a word you say. I shall
commit you for trial.
Prisoner—Very a% ell. I still say he gave me the watch.
The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute the
prisoner at the Sessions.
