CRICKET

The last grand match of the season was commenced on
Monday, in the grounds of the " nonpareil" bowler, Lilly-
white, at Brighton, in the presence of a large concourse of
spectators. The mach was between nine gentlemtn (in-
cluding Mr. Taylor, the best gentleman player in England)
with Pilch and Clifford, of Kent, and clever!' Sussex players,
and it was made with the view principally of testing the
strength of the county so as to enable the Committee to select
the best eleven for the ensuing season. The Sussex players
took the first innings, and the interest chiefly excited was the
introduction of two new players in the Sussex eleven, Ewins
and Morris. On the side of the gentlemen, the bowling of
Mr. Sayers and Mr. Strange was excellent, and it will be
seen by the subjoined statement that the players did not make
what is termed a good innings, and from the well-known
skill of Pilch and Mr. Taylor, the betting was in favour of the
gentlemen's side. The first innings terminated shortly be-
fore four o'clock on Monday, when the gentlemen went in.
They bad lost six wickets (including Pilch and Clifford;
when the stumps were struck, and had scored only 47. The
second day's play (Tuesday) was not characterised by any
thing remarkable; the principal feature was the excellent
bowling of Mr. Sayers and Mr. Napper, and the day's play
ended in the players getting 70 runs in advance of the gentle.
men. The gentlemen went into the runs yesterday ( Wed-
nesday) morning, and it is a remarkable fact that they lost
five wickets, including Pilch, for only one run. Clifford then
went in, and made some play, and Mr. Taylor and Mr. E.
Napper nearly got all the runs by their excellent play. The
game was over about half- past three o'clock, the gentlemen
having won, with-three wickets to spare.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 19.

John Voller, a tall powerful man, was indicted for assault-
ing William Mason, a serjeant of the G division of police,
during the progress of Bartholomew Fair.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sen-
tenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour in
the House of Correction.
William Heath was indicted for stealing a watch, value 3/.,
the property of Henry Watts.
The Jury returned a verdict of--Not Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN, in the course of the trial, remarked that

brought to that Sessions for trial.
One hundred and nine persons were discharged by procla-
mation, and the Sessions then terminated.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

A carpenter named Stephen Bird was yesterday brought up
in the custody of an officer of the Strand union, charged with
having four different times deserted his wife and child, whereby
they became chargeable to the parish of St. Clement Danes.
In answer to the charge the defendant pleaded poverty, and
promised in future to do everything in his power to support his
family without troubling the parish.
Mr. MINSIJULL ordered the warrant to stand over for a
month, and the defendant to be brought up again in case he
failed to perform his engagement.—He was then discharged.
Wm. Jones, Win. Emery, and James Woods, constant fre-
quenters of Covent-garden-market, were brought up by
Blosset, a constable of the market, charged with having picked
the pocket of Mrs. Cremern, Sun-court, Spitalfields, of some
silver and a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates. The facts
were fully proved, and the prisoners committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A miserable-looking old woman, named. Elizabeth White-
house, was charged with being drunk, and with having created
a disturbance in the streets.
A young man cf very respectable appearance came forward
to give evidence against the woman. He said the woman at
the bar was the mother of himself and three other sons, all of
whom were establishing themselves in business, and each was
likely to have his prospects severely injured by the disgrace-
ful propensity of their parent for gin. They jointly contri-
buted a weekly sum towards her maintenance, and they even
had made arrangements with the parish officers for the further
support of their mother. Such, however, was the woman's
unconquerable propensity for liquor, that she would spend
every farthing she could obtain at the gin-shop, and, though
clothed respectably one day, she would appear the next in
rags, from having parted with her decent garments to raise
money for more gin. When in a state of intoxication she
would make her appearance at one of her son's shops, and
by her disgraceful situation and her conduct she would
cause a mob, and thus create much injury to business. All
her sons had, times without number, been subjected to this
sort of scandalous annoyance, and it now had become neces-
sary to ask the Magistrate to indict some sort of punishment
on their mother. It was useless sending her into the work-
house, as she had discharged herself twenty times from that
refuge. Some more severe mode of restraint must now be
adopted towards her.
Mr. CHAMBERS said it was shocking to see a woman ad-
vanced in years, and a mother of a grown-up family, so dis-
grace herself. He knew of no course to pursue unless the
sons sent her to some village, where no gin was sold, if such
a place could be found in England.
The old woman said she would not go near her sons again
if she were released.

The Magistrate was informed that she had made the same
promise repeatedly, and no later than the previous day had
been discharged from custody upon a similar plea. She was
sent to prison in default of bail.

QUEEN- SQUARE.
In the course of business yesterday at this office, nine
women of loose habits were charged with being found accost-
ing respectable persons in Hyde Park on Tuesday evening.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Partridge, an In-
spector of Police, that women of defendants' description had
infested the park for a length of time, and that in consequence
of complaints made to the Commissioners of Police of respect-
able females being frequently insulted and gentlemen an-
noyed, a party of men were ordered there on Wednesday
evening, the result of which was the apprehension of the de-
fekdants, whose conduct was of the worst description.
Mr. BURREI.L committed the defendants for different pe-
riods, from twenty days to one month each.

DEATH OF LORD CARRINGTON.—Lord Car
rington expired at his house at Whitehall, on Tuesday night.
His Lordship was created an Irish Peer in 1796, and an Eng-
lish one in 1797. He was born in January, 1751. He has
left an only son, who succeeds to his honours and property,
and several daughters, Lady Williams Wynn, the Countess
Stanhope, Lady Granville Somerset, Lady Gardner, and the
Hon. Mrs. Crewe. By his Lordship's death a vacancy occurs
in the representation of the Borough of High Wycombe.
Yesterday an inquest was held at the King William
public-house, St. George's-road, on the body of S. A.
Quire, aged four years. It appeared from the evidence that the
dece ised, while at dinner, had swallowed a small piece of
mutton, which lodged in her throat. Mr. Evans, a surgeon.
residing in Trinity-street, promptly attended, and, having re-
moted the meat, used every exertion to restore animation, but
without success. Verdict, .‘ Accidental Death."

The day mail to Brighton is said to have succeeded
beyond expectation ; carrying more letters than the night
mail, and the latter as many as it did. i
On Saturday evening a man n the employment of
Mr. Drake, timber met chaut, of No. 1, George-street, St
Giles's, called at his lodgings in Church-street, and after re-
maining there some time was seized %vith sudden illness. He
went into the pr,l, and very shortly afterwards expired.
NEW DAIILIA.—In the flower-garden of Lady
Ka•harinc Jormyn, at Ickworth, a dahlia was gathered of two

whole colours, scvcral of the petals were striped with oraege

PRICE OF SUGAR.

COMBINED EFFECTS OF BOUNTY AND OF MONOPOLY.
Table shoeing the ex.duty price of West India Sugar hi Mincing.
lane, and comparing the same against foreign sugars
:
London, Dec. 7, 1838.
The Gazette this day quotes the average price of British Per cwt.
Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 32s. ltd.
Muscovado Sugars raised by free labour in the Manilla have
been sold this week at from 21s. to 235. tid per cwt., being
about 10s, per cwt. less than the average price of West
India Sugar.
The bounty on refined Sugar having been reduced to 8(1.
per cwt., no sales for exportation have been effected this
week in that article.
This reduction still leaves a clear bounty—allowing Is, for

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

ROSS V. sMITII.—ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Mr. Sergeant 13OmPas stated the case for the plaintiff. The
defendant was a locksmith, and the plaintiff a builder, both
residing in York-street, Lambeth, or the neighbourhood. A
lady having died in the house of defendant, where she lodged,
the P Witt& was sent for, by a surgeon named Prior (who had
some
interest in the deceased lady's effects), to fit a key to the
door of one of the rooms which she had occupied. There
bad been sonic dispute between defendant and Mr. Prior re-
spectingwhich appears to have excited some ill feeling
in rent,
the mind of the former. The plaintiff took the lock away
to fit the key to it. The defendant declared he would have
the fellow taken into custody for a felony. And on plaintiff's
returning with the lock and the key, defendant actually sent
for two policemen, and cave him in charge on an accusation
of felony. Ihe plaintiff was dragged to the station-house,
but the inspector refused to take the charge, which was of so
frivolous a character, and plaintiff was dismissed. A more
unwarrantable attack on the liberty of the subject (the
Learned Sergeant said), without the slighteit ground or pre_
fence, was
never presented befire a Court of Justice; and
it was for the Jury to say what damages would be sufficient
conipenasti ,n to plaintiff tor I/14 malicious arrest ; and as a
vindication of his character from the aspersion, which an
arrest for felony would necessarily and unavoidably give rise to.
These facts having been proved by the in rson who was
left in charge of the room in question, and a policeman,
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD a,:dre-ised the Jury for the defend-
ant. He thought the case sh,,uid have ended a hen the
Inspector dismissed the charge. He was sure the
Jury would see there was no malice in the case.
The defendant had acted on the mere impulse of the moment.
If tae affair was ever bruited abroad, it must be by Air. Ruse
biinseu; but for whom the circumstance would remain " under

Turkey itself. In other countries, as our readers are aware,
this immunity can only be purchased by many years of re-
sidence and naturalisation. The fourth article of this part,
by granting a facility of transport, and fixing a specific in-
terior duty, instead of the oppressive taxes and extortions
formerly levied, will give a freedom and extension to
Turkish commerce that must be attended with incalculable
advantage. The fifth article obviates all the delays and
difficulties to which our ships are now exposed in obtaining
firmans. We have on former occasions adverted to the ef-
fect of extending the treaty to Egypt, which is done by the
sixth article. We shall take another opportunity of ad-
verting more fully to this treaty, contenting ourselves for
the present with this brief notice, and with congratulating
the country upon its ratification.—Morning Chrunicle.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1838.

tion of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces, that I
came down here yesterday from Kingston, with four compa-
nies of the 83d Regiment, two 18-pounders and a howitzer,
and made up from the town to a position about 400 yards
from the windmills, and adjoining houses occupied by the
hrigan:l

They did not move or come out of the houses to oppose
my advance. The 18-pounders opened with good effect
upon the stone building near the mill. Capt. Sandon, with
two gun-boats, in which he carried two 18-pounders, took
up a position below the windmill, which he cannonaded,
but not with much effect. After cannonading these
buildings for an hour or rather more, and observing the
brigands to be quitting them and endeavouring to escape, I
ordered the troops to advance ; very little resistance was
offered by the party occupying the windmill, but a smart fire
was opposed to us from the adjoining stone building. It
being dark before the troops got round these buildings,
and the brigands in the windmill having displayed a white
flag, they were summoned to surrender themselves uncon•
ditionally, which they did. Eighty-six prisoners were im-
•mediately secured, and 16 others, who were wounded, Ive
removed from the mill as soon as conveyance could be
found---a large supply of arms, 20 kegs of powder and 3
pieces of ordnance fell into our hands. Some of the bri-
gands effected their escape from the buildings when dark-
ness came on, and hid themselves in the brushwood on the
bank under the mill. I directed the militia to scour this
bank, and several prisoners were thus secured, among others
a Pole calling himself General Van Sault, who, it is under-
stood, was the principal leader. All the buildings adjoin-
ing the mill we destroyed, but the latter I directed to be
occupied by a company of militia, and propose that it should
continue to be so, or entirely demolished.
" I am happy to say the service was performed with the
loss of one man only of the 83d regiment.

SMYRNA.

The Gazette de Sm.yrne, of November 17, coniaies the
Following :

An express which arrived today from Samos brings an
account that some pirates had, on the coast of that island l,
seized an Ottoman schooner, which, after plundering, they;
sunk. All the crew perished with the exception of one
sailor, who contrived to land at Patmos, from whence he•
went to Samos, and made his complaint to the authorities
of this island. The Governor of Samos after the infor-
mation he received, and acting with his wonted. zeal Ind
intelligence, succeeded in arresting two of the pirates. PSI
third individual belonging to the band was seized at Echelle•
Nouvelle. We have besides learnt that two other pirates
were at Patmos, where there has been discovered much..
merchandise, such as wax, carpets, &c. The
isle to
of
Samos hastened to despatch a vessel to this to seize,
if possible, these two men, before they were able to fave
themselves.

PLANTING OF TREES.—The late Duke of Athol
planted in the last year of his life 6,500
acres of mountain
ground solely with larch trees, which, in the course of
seventy-two years will be a forest of timber fit for the
the largest class of ships in the navy. It will have
been thinned out to about 400 trees per acre. Each tree
will contain at least fifty cubic feet, or one load, of timber,
which, at the low price of one shilling the cubic foot (only
one-half of its present value), will give 1,0001. per acre, or
in all a sum of six millions five hundred thousand potthat
sterling? Besides this, there will have been a return at
71. per acre from thinnings, after deducting all expenses,
including the original outlay of planting. Farther still, the
land on which the larch is planted is not worth 9d. or Is,
an acre ; but after the thinnings of the first fifty years the
larch will make it worth at least 10s. per acre by the im-
provement of the pasturage, on which cattle can be kept,
summer and winter.—Segsmax.

rather easier. Hay, 60s. to 117 s. ; Closer, 90s. to 1303. ;

TALLOW MARKET.

P.Y.C., in consequence of news of an advance from St.
Petersburg, received yesterday evening, is now quoted at
535. to 535. 6d. on the spot.

INDIGO SALE.

The quarterly sale of Indigo, consisting of about 11,000
chests, commenced this morning at the London Commercial
Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane. There was a very good attend-
ance of the trade. It is yet too early to speak of prices ;
all that can be said is that the sale opened with considerable
briskness,• and that the lots put up went steadily at the time of
our leaving the Sale-room.

TEA SALE—SECOND DAY.
We noticed yesterday the commencement of this very large
quarterly sale. The attendance of the trade was not quite so
good as that of yesterday. Very much of that which is put
up is bought in at rather stiff prices. The importers appear
firm. Gunpowder is selling to-day at, we should say, last
sale's prices. Other kinds appear to us to be going, when
they are sold, at drooping prices: at present, however, none
of the great brokers have commenced operations; and these
are required before accurate prices can be given. The
sale, as far as it has gone, is certainly a heavy one.
Some parties are pretending to give prices already, but upon
these quotations no dependence can be placed, as they are as
often given fcr lots which are bought in, as for those which
are sold.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
The public sales to. day were rather considerable, but still
not more so than the previous feeling to purchase warranted.
The consequence of this is, that the sales pass off steadily,
and former prices for the most part rule. The Market, there-
fore, presents no new feature. Sugar B. P. goes steadily,
and our last quotations are those of to-day ; Mauritius, 3,400
bags sold at prices varying from 48s. to 655., according
to quality ; Manilla, 6,000 bags realized prices be..
tween 19s. and 265., according to their worth.—
Coffee—The feeling for this article is not quite so good as it
was, and 2,800 bags Ceylon went to-day on rather easier
terms. Saltpetre-1,800 bags sold at from 255. to 275., ac.
cording to refraction. Cocoa-184 bags Trinidad fetched
much about their former value, as did also two small parcels
of Ginger. The sales for to-morrow are 200 barrels and 60
casks British Plantation Coffee, and 200 bags Brazil; 700
bags East India Rice ; 150 bags British Plantation Cocoa ;
two small parcels of Pepper ; 240 boxes Cassia; 120 bags
Pimento.

. an-intent or any other line, can it be perfect at once. It is
generally admitted that the works on the Great Western are
. much better executed than they are even on the Birmingham.
Nor is there a doubt but that the line runs inconceivably
F smoother than it did. Every day, of course, will improve it.
" The rates of travelling, and the number of passengers they
carry, surpass those of any line out of London. Upwards of
600 passengers, we understand, were taken at once by the
North Star on the 15th ult. A gentleman who has very re-
cently travelled on different lines, assures us, that the sinuous
and roiling motion are much less on this line than on either of
the others, and that the motion is vary different in different
carriages. For instance, he found it much less in a six-wheel
than in a four-wheel carriage, which clearly shows that the
carriages are principally in fault. We have also lately been
on the Birmingham line, and can speak to the points of
speed and motion. In going to Watford we were exceedingly
pleased with the easiness of motion ; but we were then 1 hour
7i minutes in going, which was near (if it be 17i miles) 154 miles per hour. We came back, however, in 44 minutes, at
the rate of 231 miles per hour, and then we certainly felt
nearly as much jolting, and considerably more rolling and
sinuosity than upon the Great Western at a velocity of 30
miles an hour. As the Birmingham is in very good order—
, immeasurably better, we are informed, than it was—the dif-
ference of rolling must be owing to the narrower gage, and of
sinuosity either to the wheels having too much play, or to the
rails in some places being within gage. A practical'argument
from the greater rolling is therefore given in favour of the
wider gage.
" This one thing stems at present to be generally admitted,
namely, that the Great Western line will be able to manage
a much higher speed than any other line."
