THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER is, 1853,

where they were found, and it then appeared that he
must have effected an entrance by one of the back win-
dows, and forced his body through a spaoe over a sliding
shutter only 12 inches deep. The prisoner was trans-
ferred to the station and searched, and there, in addition
to a small quantity of money, among which was a Ger-
man coin, and numerous other articles, a box of confec-
tionery was discovered in his possession, of which he
professed to be able to give no account, but which was
directly afterwards found to be part of the produce of
another burglary committed only a few minutes before
he was taken. The police knew a confectioner named
Day lived close to the first prosecutor, and therefore
rang him up to examine his place, when, upon Mr. Day
coming down, he found that his back parlour window had
been opened, the tills from both his counters emptied of
their contents, and flung on the floor ; and, in fact, that
his house had been very industriously rummaged, as a
card, the foreign coin, and box of confectionery discovered
on the prisoner had been taken from the bottom of a
trunk in Miss Day's bedroom, she not having been at all
disturbed d uring the operation. A cigar-case also was found
in the prisoner's possession, for which no owner could be
discovered, though the police had no doubt it had like-
wise been stolen ; and the prisoner, who stared about
him while in the dock with a half-idiotic expression,
which the constables declared to be purposely assumed,
as he had both conducted himself and spoken rationally
enough till that moment, having declined any defence,
he was committed for the depositions to be taken.

this moment. Carpenters, masons, and men in other
trades, who are earning good wages, are laying by their
savings to form a fund in order that they may be able
to combine against their masters. Such a state of things
cannot be tolerated in this country.
Mr. Pillow said, the standing wages of a lighterman
were 30s. a-week, and they were paid 2s. 6d. extra for
any night-work ; but the men demanded double the
2s. 6d. for night-work. This the masters could not
afford to pay. The amount he himself paid in wages
during the year was 4,0001, and if he were to make the
advance required he should be ruined.
Mr. Combe said, if the men continued to combine the
masters must get the law altered, so that they might be
enabled to employ other men, and break up this corpo-
rate monopoly.
Mr. Pillow—We know what the end of it will be.
We intend to resist these unjust demands, and to appeal,
as your worship has suggested, to the Court of Alder-
men. We also are maturing a plan which will have the
effect of putting it out of the power of these men to oc-
casion such serious obstructions to business in future.
Mr. Pillow then paid the shilling, and, having thanked
the magistrate for his attention, left the court.
The complainant applied for his costs and to be paid
for his loss of time.

Mr. Combe—Certainly not. If you like to combine
together, you must bear the consequences. You are
going the right way to have your trade thrown open.

THAMES.—James Merryfleld, a blacksmith, living
at No. 11, Richard-street, Limehouse, was charged be-
fore Mr. Yardley with kicking Ellen Merryfield, his
wife, in the stomach, striking her over the left eye, and
threatening the life of Mary Anne Merryfield, aged two
years and nine months. The prisoner was a stout
powerfully-made man, while the complainant was of
short stature, and had a delicate appearance.
The complainant, who had an extensive wound on her
left eye, which was much aiscoloured, stated that she
had been married to the prisoner about five years. A
few days ago they were obliged to leave their lodgings
in Catherine-street, as they could not pay their rent and
their goods were seized. The previous evening her hus-
band came home about 7 o'clock in a state of intoxica-
tion, and gave her a black eye with his clenched fist.
That morning he kiched her very dreadfully below the
stomach.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.-LIGHTING OF THE
LIGHT OF LINDESNiES AND THE LIGHTS OF
LISTER.

Referring to the notice issued by this department on the
2d of December last, it is hereby publicly announced that
the light of Lindesnws and the third light of Lister, having
been altered in accordance with the above-mentioned
notice, will be re-lighted in the evening of the 16th Sep-
tember next, at the same time as the other lights in the
kingdom, and will continue, from that time, to be lighted
in the same manner. They will, consequently, hereafter
appear as follows :

LINDESNZS LIGHT.—A revolving light with flashes
every minute of the first order (Fresnel's system) will
show all round towards the sea. The elevation of the light
above the level of the sea, 159 Norwegian feet. Extent
of illumination six miles, longitude East of Greenwich
7 deg. 3 min., lat. 57 deg. 58 min. North.
The light is placed on a stone tower 10 feet high, having
at the top an iron wall seven feet high to serve as a land
mark in the daytime, the stone structure is painted white
and the upper portion, of iron, red.
LISTER LIGHTS.—Three fixed lights of the second order
(Fresnel's system), showing all round towards the sea. The
lighthouses form an obtuse triangle, the apex of which is
turned towards the sea. The centre of the middle light-
house is 150 Norwegian feet distant from the centre of
each of the other lighthouses, while the base of the triangle
measures 282 Norwegian feet in length. The bearings of
the lighthouses in relation to each other are by deviating
compass—The middle and the northern lighthouses in N.
by W. and S. by E., distance 150 feet ; the middle and
the southern lighthouses in N.W. 4W. and S.E. E. dis-
tance 150 feet ; the northern and the southern lighthouses
in N.N.W. W. and S.S.E. E. distance 282 feet—conse-
quently, in the above directions, two of the lights will be
seen in a line.

Mr. Yardley—What did you say when he kicked you ?
Complainant—l said nothing. He was not undressed.
He came home about 12 o'clock, and was so intoxicated
that he lay on the bed with his clothes on. I did not
go to bed, but sat on the stairs. He can be in constant
word, and has good wages, but he gets drunk.
Mr. Yardley—What was the quarrel about between
you?
Com plainant—l gave him no provocation. He is
often in the habit of kicking me in the same place. That
morning he snatched the child from the bed and said
that he would dash its brains out. He then accused me
of improper familiarities with a bricklayer. I observed,
it was untrue, and that I was not afraid of facing any
one upon such a charge.
Mr. Yardley—Did you feel any pain from the kick ?
Complainant —Yes, Sir; I am suffering from it now.
After he kicked me I could scarcely walk, and I called
out "murder." If lam not parted from my husband,
I am sure he will murder me. He calls me awful names.
six weeks ago he seized hold of a razor, and said that
he would cut the child's head off with it. He has fre-
quently turned me out of doors, and threatens that if I
go to my mother be will buy a pistol and shoot us both.
Last Sunday we had no dinner, and but for my mother
I and my child would starve.
The prisoner said that his wife was of drunken habits
and starved the child. On Thursday night the landlady
took the child to Ratcliffe Workhouse because his wife
neglected it.

The elevation of the light above the level of the sea is 125
Norwegian feet in each of the three lighthouses. Extent
of illumination 4i to 5 maritime miles. Longitude east of
Greenwich 6 deg. 32 min. 15 sec. Latitude 58 deg. 5 min.
30 sec. North. The three lights are all placed in high
towers, which are painted white, in order to serve as land-
marks by day.
Ciao Light having been relighted since the 16th of June
last, as stated in the notice issued by this Department on
the 30th of the same month, there remains, consequently,
of the lights mentioned in the Department's notice of the
2d Dec., 1852, and which were extinguished during the
present summer, only one, the relighting of which has not
been notified. viz., lividingsii.

Christiana, Aug. 25, 1853.

The complainant stated that when her husband came
home drunk he always charged her with being in the
same state. The landlady took the child away, as her
husband threatened its life. She was present.
The child was brought into court by order of Mr.
Yardley. Its appearance showed that it had been well
taken care of. The magistrate directed it to be given
to the mother. On being placed in her arms it turned
its head away and cried piteously. The grandmother,
who brought the child in, took it, when it became quiet.
Harriett Miller, the landlady, stated that the prisoner
and his wife came to lodge with her on Wednesday.
The prisoner had since returned home repeatedly in a
state of intoxication. He did so on Thursday night,
and soon after she was alarmed by hearing the com-
plainant's exclamations of "Murder !" That morning,
between 5 and 6 o'clock, the exclamations were renewed.
She bad not seen the wife intoxicated. She took the
child to the workhouse in consequence of the threats of
the prisoner ; the relieving officer would not take the
child in, because the father was able to support it. She
had heard the prisoner say a hundred times that he
would dash the child's brains out. On the previous day
she saw him tear his wife's gown off her back, possess
himself of her pocket, in which were 2s. 6d., and he
then turned her into the street.
Mr. Yardley-----Have you ever seen her drunk ?
Witness--No, sir ; nor have I ever seen any victuals
in their room, except what I and a lodger gave her for
herself and baby. The prisoner was drunk all day on
Thursday.

Mr. Yardley— Have you seen at any time, any bruises
on her ?

Witness—Yes, btt not latterly, as he is in fear of the
late law for the protection of women.
The prisoner said that several weeks ago she broke his
windows.

Witness.—Sbe did not know what she was doing.
Your provocation was such as nearly to turn her brain.
She came to me that day and appeared like a woman
deranged. Last Whitsuntide, he one day, when intoxi-
cated, cruelly used her. He left her wallowing in her
blood. He then took a razor, and said he would cut
off her head and roll it about the floor.

totally untrue. I have no doubt that you not only

struck her, but kicked her. lam glad that you, and
persons like you, fear the new law for the protection of

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK—Mr. John Pillow, wharfinger and
lighterman, of Syraond's-wharf, Tooley-street, was sum-
moned before Mr. Combe for unlawfully permitting and
Whose name is unknown, to navigate a
barge, his
a man,hisproperty, the said man not being a freeman of
the Company of the Master, Wardens, and Commonalty
of Watermen and Lightermen of the River Thames, or
entitled by law to act as a lighterman, contrary to the
by-laws of the said company.
William Savage, a licensed waterman and lighter-
man, stated that between 3 and 4 o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon last he saw one of the defendant's apprentices
and the watchman navigating a barge belonging to the
defendant, laden with cotton, between Horselydown
and London-bridge. The apprentice was pulling one
oar, and the "foreigner " (as men not being freemen of
the Watermen's Company are called) pulled the other,
—he, by law, not being entitled to navigate the river
Thames.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.

SUGAR.—To-day West India sugar was purchased with
caution for home trade purposes, and prices compared
with last Friday in some cases show a decline of Gd per
cwt. Barbadoes rather cheaper, brown sealing at 32s to
33s 6d ; low to middling yellow, 34s to 35s f)d ; good mid-
dling, 36s to 36s 6d per cwt. The auctions for next week
comprise 300 hhds Barbadoes, 200 hhds Jamaica, 70 hhds
Demerara, 10,000 bags East India and Mauritius, and 6,000
bags brown Pernambuca sugar.
REFINED.—To-day refined sugar was dean in with cau-
tion ' • for home trade purposes brown lumps closed at 45s
to 45s 6d, and low to fine grocery 46s to 48s. The export
demand for crushed sugar does not decrease_
EAST INDIA.--To-day Bengal sugar met with more at-
tention, and at auction 15,000 bags were sold at full prices;
middling to good white Benares at 37s to 38s, and like
Mauritius fine 36s Gd to 37s 6d, low to good. 34s to 36s per
cwt.

COCOA.—To-day several parcels of Wed India cocoa
were sold at full prices. In, auction 65 bags Trinidad sold
at 34s Gd to 37s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—To-day several parcels of Native Ceylon
were sold privately, and prices closed firmly at 48s to 48s
6d for good ord.

Mr. Combe asked Mr. Pillow what answer he had to
make to the charge ?
Mr. Pillow said, that personally he knew nothing of
the circumstance ; but he had felt it his duty to meet
the summons on public grounds. In consequence of the
strike on the part of the watermen, master wharfingers
and lightermen were obliged to employ other persons to
navigate their craft.
_ _

TEA.:-To-day there was an increased deny:and for both
black and green ; merchants are also less inclined to sell.
The value of orcl and good sound common COngou is lid
to Hid per lb.
SPICES.—To-day pepper was in active demand and re-
alised an advance of id per lb ; at auction 57 6 bags Mala-
bar were sold at qd. to 4d for heavy, and one lot at
5d per lb.
SPIRITS.--For Demerara rum there are yet many buyers,
and prices continue to advance, supply decreasing. Sales
have been made at 3s 7d to 3s lid for 32 to 42 per cent.
overproof.
TALLOW.—A material increase is apparent in transac-
tions in Russian on the spot since last week .; prices have
also advanced, the ships arrived not having th e quantity of
tallow that had been expected, and the R usso-Turkish
question being less satisfactory.
OlLS.—Prices are steady for seal, 80 tuns a t auction to-
day in part sold. Pale at 34/ 108, tinged 344, and brown
331. 30 casks sunflower oil 401.

M. Combe—But you must be aware that the statute
is against you; and that by the 38th clause of the Water-
men's Act you are liable to a penalty of 101. for employ-
ing any person to navigate your craft who is not a free-
man. What has the complainant to say respecting the
strike ?

The complainant said, that although he had worked
12 years for Mr. Joyce, a wharfinger, yet, as the whole
body of lightermen had struck for an advance of wages,
he had been induced to join them, not liking to be
singular. But he had since offered to serve Mr. Pil-
low, as the disagreements between the men and their
employers had been very nearly brought to a settle-
ment.

Mr. Pillow assured the magistrate that the inconve-
nience arising from the strike was serious to the whar-
fingers, and, unless they submitted to the unjust de-
mands of the lightermen, they must employ whomsoever
they could get to do the work.
Complainant—The strike ended on the day the
",foreigner" was seen to be employed.
Mr. Combe—The question is quite clear. This corn.
plaint has arisen out of a strike for wages on the part
of the lightermen. The offence, however, against the
bye-law is proved. I shall, therefore, inflict a nominal
penalty of is. on the defendant.
Mr. Pillow said he was quite satisfied with the deci-
sion of the magistrate, but he wished to know what
course wharfingers were to pursue ? All his men were
now on strike.

ance that possibly eould be desired.--S. and B. Solomons,

Mr, Combe advised him to apply to the Court of
Aldermen, who alone had the power of altering the bye-
laws of the Watermen's Company, provided the altera-
tion received the sanction of one of the judges of the
superior courts. He had no doubt that if such an ap-
plication were made a clause would be immediately
introduced that would effectual:y put a stop to these
strikes. It could not be suffered for an instant that
these lightermen should put not only the wharfingers,
but the public generally, to such inconvenience. He was
certain that regulations might be easily made to prevent
such proceedings in future.

Pillow said his object was to expose the system
adopted by the lightermen in the use of what they con-
sidered to be their privileges. He had no to-
wards the men, but he could assure them that if they
persevered in their present course they would finally in-
jure themselves more than they now injured their em-
ployers, for the wharfingers were contemplating mea-
sures which would effectually remedy the evil, to the
detriment of the lightermen alone.
Mr. Combe—Let them go on, and they will soon dis-
cover that they are only destroying their own business,
and losing the good will of their employers. But strikes
among workmen appear 'do be the prevailing passion at
