MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of this Evening.)
SUGAR.—The good and fine yellow descriptions of British
Plantation have been in steady revest by the grocers, and
have brought fully previous rates, 61s p•zill for Jamaica ; the
importers having submitted to rather lower rates for brown to
mid yellow sorts have tempted buyers to come forward more
freely, and a good deal of business has been done; the refiners
have been the principal operators, and have paid prices from
rios to 535; the private sales yesterday exceeded 1,100 hhds
and trs : at auction 144 hhds Barbadoes with some spirit at
previous rates for the low, but 6d. higher for the Letter de-
scriptions, fine brought 62s to 63s 6d, good 59s to 61S 6d, low
mid and mid 57s to 58s Gd. On the 25th inst. the stock
amounted to 32,346 hhds 3,771 tea and 2,227 brls, against
19,537 hhds 2,084 trs and 1,127 brls cn the 26th Aug., 1837.
This afternoon there was a good demand both for the scale
and pan; in prices there is no further change; the sales for
the week are 3,000 hhds and trs. The Refined mihrket con-
tinues in a dull state, and prices are still on the decline; the
home trade have purchased very sparingly of common as well
as the better descriptions of goods; 74s 6d to 75s have been
accepted for Lumps passing, 73s to 74s for those rather under
the standard, and 70e to 71s for brown ones, which rates are 6d
to is under those of last week. For export the demand has
also been limited, and the purchases have been confined to a
few small parcels of double Crushed at 33s 3d, at which there
are generally sellers : some of the refiners hold for 33s 6d.
INlAuntrics.—There has been only a limited business doing,
both grocers and refiners continuing to take only sufficient to
supply their immediate wants, and for ord. and mid. descrip-
tions rather lower prices have been accepted, hut coloury sorts
have brought previous rates; at public sale 2,997 bags sold
he ,vily, very low brown at 435, mid. grey 50s 6d to 51s, mid
and g.:od mid yellow 53s to 565, good 565. Gd to 575. 6d ; at
present nothing is declared for public competition; 8,227 bags
have arrived since our last; the stock is now 79,540 bags,
against 61,456 last year at this period.
EAST INDIA._The grocers have purchased more freely of
Bengal, and 2,213 bags, at public sale, sold at fully previous
rates—fine white brought 65s to 66s 6d, good 63s to 63s 6d,
ord 60s 63, mid to fine brown 55s Gd to 575, mid to good
yellow 58s to 59; 6d, clamps and washed 54a to 54s 6,1. For
Siam there has been no demand by private contract, and none
has been offered at auction ; but at lower prices there is no-
thing offering. Manilla is held for previous rates. Java re-
mains as last quoted. r This afternoon 50 bags Bengal, at
auction, sold at 62s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—The market has assumed a more lively appear-
ance ; the demand at present has been principally for the Me-
diterranean, and importers have obtained prices which they
could not last week; the private transactions have been 900
boxes yellow Havannah of fair dry quality at 265, 500 boxes
fine strong white at 395, 80 ditto ord at 375, 120 chests low
to good white Pernams at 295, and a cargo of Pernambuco
afloat deliverable at Trieste, at 21s for brown, and 31s 3d for
white, two-thirds of the latter.

MOLASSES.—In West India the operations privately have
been trivial, and at rather lower prices. At public sale 44
puns. fair Demerara were taken in at 25s 6d, and 14 puns.

puns. heavier than at this period last year ; the arrivals this
season have exceeded those :of last by 5,130 puns.
COFFEE.--British Plantation has been much inquired for by
the Grocers, but the demand has been greatly checked by the
scanty supply at market ; there have been no public sales, and
one of the principal selling brokers having advertised 50 casks
for Thusday was unable to make up the quantity. The pur-
chases privately have been small parcels among the dealers at
advanced prices, 115 s paid for mid Berbice. All descriptions of
East India, admissible for home consumption, have been much
sought after, and higher prices have been paid, but large
orders are prevented from being executed by the short supply.
Ceylon has brought an advance on previous rates of is; 39
bags at public sale sold readily, fine ord pale at 995, coloury
100 s, ord country damaged 96s 6d, privately 98s has been paid
for small parcels of good ord, and 1005 to 101 s for fine ord
coloury. For clean garbled Mocha has been obtained.

a fair business doing, first brands of the vintage of 1836 in
puns. at 3s 10d, and 1837 at 3s Bd. In France prices arc on

is some talk of advancing the price.

viously established have been supported ; the deliveries since

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Ellen Murray, a young girl, of rather genteel appearance
and manners, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr.
HALL, on a charge made by policeman Turvey, C 74, of drun-
kenness, and using indecent language.
Mr. CHAMBERS remarked that the girl appeared to,be un-
known at the office, and on that account he should have acted
with her as with all unfortunate women similarly circum.
stanced, by dismissing her with a reprimand; but as it had
bean sworn she had used indecent language, an offence which
he never overlooked, he should send her to prison for a week.
The next case was a charge made by the same policeman
against a Scotch gentleman of highly respectable appearance,
named Robinson.

The policeman said the prisoner, Ellen Murray, made so
much resistance while on her way to the station-house, that it
was necessary for five policemen to carry her there. While
engaged with his comrades in their duty the defendant, Mr
Robinson, came tip to him and obstructed him in the execu-
tion of his duty, by seizing him by the collar, and pullin,-2 him
forcibly back. Being thus assaulted he desired policeman C
176 to bring the gentleman to the station-house.
Mr. Robinson, in explanation, said that himself and a
friend, very recently from Scotland, were on their way home
down Regent-street, after having visited Astley's Amphi-
theatre, when he observed a young female in a state of in-
toxication, being carried alono• with her head downwards by
several policemen. Being of the medical profession, and
knowing that a very serious injury might ensue to the young
woman if the police continued to carry her in that situation,
he went up to policeman Turvey, and touched his arm, with
the view of drawing his attention to the request that he would
let some one hold up the young woman's head. To his great
surprise he was given into custody by the policeman, and taken
to the station-house.

D. Edwards was walking with his friend, Mr. Robinson, at
the time of the transaction. Mr. Robinson, out of humanity
to the young woman, merely requested the police to carry her
head higher, and not to allow her head to dangle near the
ground while in such a dangerous state, when he was immedi-
ately given into custody. He could positively swear that Mr.
Robinson did not lay hold of the policeman's collar and drag
him back as described. At the station-house the charge would
not have been taken, but Mr. Robinson felt too indignant at
the manner in which he had been treated, to allow the matter
to be settled otherwise than before a magistrate.
Policeman C 176 saw Mr. Robinson lay hold of C 74, and
at the desire of his brother constable he took Mr. Robinson
into custody.
Mr. Robinson declared that C 176 told hint when given
into his charge that he had no idea of the nature of the com-
plaint which C 74 bad to make. There was a gentleman,
named Davis, an entire stranger, who had seen the whole affair,
and who had promised to come forward and make his statement
to the bench. _ _

➢lr. CHAMBERS having directed the case to stand over for a
short time, Mr. Davis, tailor, of Bond-street, made his ap-
pearance, and the charge was resumed.
Mr. Davis's testimony was to the effect, that several police-
:nen were taking a girl to the station-house, and not using
sufficient decency or humanity while conveying her there, Mr.
Robinson merely laid his hand on the policeman's shoulder to
ask him to let the girl's head be held up, when he was given
into custody. The policeman was certainly not seized by the
collar as he had stated.

Another disinterested witness, named Clarkson, corroborated
Mr. Robinson's statement in every particular.
Mr. CHAMBERS had the evidence of four gentlemen before
him, and he could not but come to the conclusicn that the po-
liceman had sworn that which was false. Magistrates were
Ilsvays willing to afford constables the fullest protection in the
discharge of their duty, and to discourage unnecessary and
vexatious interference on the part of spectators ; but when it
was clearly proved that a policeman had acted with violence or
impropriety, the Bench would alvtays visit the offence with
nroper s-vcrity. He felt bound, therefore, to receive the
charge as one of assault against the policeman, and he should,
therefore•, impose the tine of three ponnth, or one month's
imprisonment.
Mr. Robinson interceded on behalf of the constable.

Mr. CHAMBERS then remarked, that he had sent Ellen
Murray to prison solely on the testimony of the policeman
whom he had just convicted, and as he now felt considerable
doubts upon the subject, he should remit the punishment he
had inflicted.
Mr. Davis saw the girl carried down Regent-street. The
policeman acted with great indecency, by allowing her clothes
to become very much disordered. He very much doubted that
bad expressions had been used by her.
Mr. CHAMBERS said the girl had already been punished suffi-
ciently, and he should therefore order her to be released.

MAR YLEB ONE.
Yesterday two comical-looking young men, named Renshaw
and Lardner, the former of whom was said to be a tailor, and
tl,e latter a "translator" (not of languages, but of boots and
shoes), were brought before the Magistrates, charged under
the following somewhat curious circumstances :
On the previous evening, the defendants, who domicile in
the vicinity of that classic spot 'yclept the " Seven Dials,"
determined upon breathing a little pure air, and accordingly
consuPed together with regard to the suburban place they
should resort to ; after much consultation between them
as to whether Highgate or Hampstead should be
honoured with their presence, the latter village was de-
clared the favourite, and without loss of time the two friends
provided themselves with a quarter of a pound of the best
returns," and then hastened on. During their progress the
temptations which were held out by sundry flaming announce-
ments in the gin palaces proved quite irresistible, and in con-
sequence of the many calls made the " translator," prior to
reaching St. Pancras New Church, was pointed at by the
passers by as one not merely " agreeably confused," but
gloriously drunk. The pair of worthies (the tailor being com•
paratively sober) kept on until their arrival in Somers Town,
when Henshaw, seeing a wheelbarrow half full of mortar
standing in front of the Duke of York, in Phoenix-street,
tumbled Lardner into it, and gave him a ride to the adjacent
station-house, on reaching which he turned the vehicle upon
its side, at the same time telling the sergeant there wr.s a
charge of intoxication for him, and without further cere-
mony ho made his escape. He was quickly pursued, and,
having been secured, he and the drunken tenant of the one-
wheeled vehicle were locked lip for the night. The coat of
Lardner was completely covered with mortar, and his appear-
ance from head to foot, when shot out of the barrow, was
grotesque in the extreme.
The defendants, who expressed their regret at having con-
ducted themselves in so ridiculous a manner, were admonished
as to their future behaviour, and discharged,
