MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London .New Price Current, July 31.)
StruAu.-To-day there was only a limited business
concluded in the West India Sugar market, although
the rates accepted were rather under those of Friday.
The better sorts are now the least in request. A public
sale of 160 hhds 13 trcs Barbadoes went at a reduction
on former rates of 6d to is per cwt for the beat sorts,
and other kinds at about the former value; fine yellow
sold at 40s to 40s 6d, middling to good 37s 6d to 395 6d
per cwt. The total purchases are 490 hhds, &c.
BEFINED.-To•day prices further declined for re-
fined goods, brown lumps selling at 48a 6d to 495, and
fair grocery at 50s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
met with an active demand at 29s ad to 303 6d per cwt.
MAIIRITIIIS.-This afternoon there was not more de-
mand for Mauritius Sugar by private treaty, and at
auction 60 bags went at 35s to 36s 6d for low yellow
washed and syrupy, which are rather lower rates.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
Sugar were offered at public sale, amounting to 3,414
bags; a part only sold at rather -lower rates; low to good
soft yellow went at 34s 6d to 375, strong white, good and
fine 45s to 47a 6d; middling to fine white Benares 39s to
425, low dingy 38s 6d, damp 38s to 41s. Of Madras
5,300 bags were in part disposed of; soft brown at from
31s 6d to 335 6d,- and yellow at 34a to 855, •whiblx are
easier rates. -
Foannase.-To-aay there was -net -Much-inquiry, for
Is'oreign Sugar by private treaty. ' -At auction '3,200 bags
Manilla, in bond sold- at 163 6d to 18s sa for low to
fine brown. The tendency of prices is- to 'for
Foreign Sugar generally. The experts of Sugar from'
Havaunah and Matanzas to the 30th June have been
591,000 boxes, and last year 607,000 boxes to the same
period. The stock is 120,000 boxes, and the weather is
very favourable for the growing crops. •
MoLAssEs.-Only small purchases have been made in
West India, and prices are on the decline, ruling from
17s to 20s for low to fine quality. There is not much
difference in stock, as compared with the peat year, but
deliveries are upon a greater scale. East India is cheaper,
and only small sales have been made at Iss 6d to 16s.
CocoA.-There are sellers of West India rather under
former rates, and the market is well supplied; dealers
also continue to operate with caution. At public sale a
part only of 500 packages found- buyers-Trinidad red
at from 42s to 495 6d, St Lucia 36s to 485, Grenada 375
to 37s 6d, and Dominion 37s per ewt. For Foreign' the
market is still dull ; and at auction 1,470 bags Guaya-
quil were taken in at 27a for sound. -
COFIFEE.-The public sales of -Coffee declared for this
week are small of both shipping and home-trade de-
, scriptions. To-day Native Ceylon met with little atten-
tion by private treaty; still good ordinary cannot be
purchased under 355. Of Plantation 65 casks 224 bags
at auction were taken in above the value; good mid-
dling at 60s to 625, and middling at 58s per cwt.
TEA.-Holders remain firm, and none has again been
submitted to auction; although imports were upon a
large scale during the past week, amounting to 50,000
packages, still the stock is not equal -to this time last
year. Former rates are paid for Congou, and a good trade
has been concluded, whilst the sorts from 8d to 10d per
lb have been the most in demand. There is no varia-
tion to record in the value of Green, and at former
terms a fair quantity has been disposed of; The general
impression is that the demand for Tea will continue to
get larger.
RICE -To-day the quantity of Bengal rice submitted
to auction was large, amounting to 9,3B7.bags,:and 4,933
pkts. There was less demand, and about one-half sold;
fine realised full rates, but other sorts went rather
cheaper; fine white fetched 103 6d to Ila 6d, good mid
and good 93 6d to 10s, ord and mid 8s 6d to as, and
damaged 5s ad to 10s 6d; 1,381 bags Arracan sold at
7s 6d to 83 for pearl barley, and at 5s to 7s for damaged.
SPicEs.-For Jamaica Ginger former rates are paid,
and at auction 196 pkgs were all sold at from 41 to
Si 103 for ord and mid, and at 61 to 101 33 for good to
fine. Shipping kinds of East India are more in de-
mand at 23s to 265. Pimento continues to be much
wanted, and former advanced rates are well kept
up. At auction thirty-one bags sold at 4d to 44d
for low middling and middling. There is firmness
on the part of holders of black Pepper, and pur-
chases to a fair extent have been made by private treaty;
Malabar shot at 3i-d to 3/(1, heavy 3d to 33d, inferior
2ial to 2id; Sumatra, clean, 2id to 6i(l, and inferior
20 to 2id. White is still in scanty supply, and the
rates paid are from 5d to 92. The value of Cassia Lignea
is from 94s to 100 s, and few parcels aro to be obtained.
For coves the market is still firm; Bourbon and Zanzi-
bar, 71d to Bid, Bencoolen is 4d to 2s, and Amboyna is
to Is 3d. There are several purchasers of Mace at 2s 3d
to 2s Bd, and inferior at 2s to 2s 2d. Nutmegs are
wanted; brown from 2s 6d to 3s 10d, and limed 23 to
2s 10d per lb.
SPIIIITS.-Former rates are freely paid for Jamaica
Rum, and purchases to a fair extent have been made by
exporters and home dealers. The sales amount to 200
puns at from 2s 6d to 2s 10d for 33 to 36 per cent over
proof, and small parcels of better sort at 3s to 4s per
gallon. Of East India some parcels have been
sold at is 3d to is 4d, but there are not generally
sellers under the latter rate. Leeward Island is
held with firmness at is 5d to is 63 proof, and orders
continue to get larger. Of Demerara some parcels
have been disposed of at 2s to 2s 4d for 28 to 40 per
cent over proof, and there are not free sellers. Home
and export deliveries are still getting larger, but several
parcels have been imported since this day week. In
Brandy a large amount of business has been concluded,l ,
and prices are on the advance; the new sorts
have been most in demand. We quote Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1848 at 3s 7d to 3s 9d, 1847
ditto 4s 4d to 4s 6d, 1846 ditto 5s 4d to 5s 6d, 1845 ditto
5s 8d to 5s 10d, inferior sorts 2s 3d to 3s 6d, and Bor-
deaux at 2s per gallon. Geneva is only in limited de-
mand; ord at is 9d to is 10d, and fine for home use 2s 33
to 3s 3d per gallon. The market for British made Spirit
is firm at 9s Bd, and Gin at 8s to 8s 6d for 17 and 22 per
cent under proof.

is getting greater. Only small sales have
delivery in the last three months of the year,
sellers are willing to take 39s 6d per cwt. The mode-
rate rates current for home melted occasions a good
demand to exist, and 37s 6d to 385 is the yen° net

cash. Of New South Wales 350 casks were dis-
posed of at auction at 34s 9d to 38s for low to fine;
1,280 pkgs South American mostly found buyers at 34s
3d to 38s 9d. For auction 1,600 pkgs of Tallow and
declared. There is still a much larger stock than last
year, but prices rule under that time. Imports are likely
to be heavy this season. For rough Fat the value is 2s

Id per stone.
On .s.—On the part of holders of Seal Oil there is
firmness, and a good demand exists; pale at 32110 s to
331, straw and tinged 301 to 32/, yellow and brown
271 to 291 per tun. For Cod the market has be-
come quiet, and prices are not so firm; there are
sellers at 271 10s. Southern is wanted, and the par-
cels disposed of by private treaty were at from
281 to 321f0r low to fine; the supply is also small. A
good business has been concluded in Sperm, and holders
continue to display firmness; for fine Colonial the
rates paid are 791 to 801, and for lleadmatter 80l to
81/ per tun; there is also not a larger supply
at market. For Linseed Oil lower rates are not
acceded to; the home and export demand has become
limited, and sellers aro willing to accept 25s 9d to 26s
per cwt on the spot. Thero is a more plentiful supply,
but no falling off in consumption is visible. For delivery
few buyers are to be met with, although sales can
be made at 25s to 25s 3d. The tendency of prices
is evidently downwards for Linseed Oil. Rape-.
seed has been dealt in with caution ; sellers are
also ready to accept 37s for refined. Sales to a fair
extent have been made in Palm, and the rates paid for
fine are 30s to 30s 3d; the supply is not upon a larger
scale.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 31.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.)
THE ITALIAN OPERA HOUSE, COVENT-GARDEN.—IN RE

E. T. DELAFIELD.
To-day was fixed for the choice of assignees in the
matter of this bankrupt, the lessee of the above-named
theatre, and who was described as of Mivart's Hotel and
Willow-bank, brewer. It will be recollected that he
was a member of the firm of Combe, Delafield, and Co.,
from which he retired with a large sum of money—
about 95,0001.
Messrs. Lawrence and Plews are solicitors to the fiat,
which was sued out by Mr. Eversfield ; Messrs. Lewis
and Lewis to the bankrupt; and Mr. Banks accountant
to the estate.
Mr. Eversfield, described as of Horsham, gentleman,
tendered a proof for 4,896/., which was admitted, with-
out any objection being offered.
Mr. Sirly, a stonemason, next put forward a proof for
487/., for work done at Willow-bank, and a question
arose as to whether it should be proved against the
separate estate of the bankrupt, or that of Delafield and
Webster ?

It appeared that the order for certain work to be
performed was given by Mr. Webster, in the presence
of Mr. Delafield, at Willow Bank, and that it was
understood in the neighbourhood that they were joint
occupiers of the house at Willow Bank, and that an
order given by one was to be treated as an order given
by both.
His HONOUR decided that the proof be rejected as
against the estate of Delafield.
Mr. Blamiere, "property-maker," at the theatre,
sought to prove for a small amount.
The question was whether he should be treated as
an ordinary servant, so as to entitle him to be paid in full?
His HONOUR admitted the proof, ordering a small
portion to be paid in full. The Learned Commissioner
supposed there were no assets?
It was replied, " Not at present."
Debts to the extent of 6,8001. were proved during
the day; and Mr. Eversfield was unanimously appointed
assignee.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HoLnoYD.)
The certificate of a linendraper, named Anderson. was
suspended for six months, with protection, upon the
grounds that the expenses were double as much as the
profits, and continuing trade at a loss.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT.—Lewes, July 31.
Both Courts proceeded to business this morning, the
Chief Baron presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr.
Baron Alderson at Nisi Prins. The entry on the civil
side is numerically light, there being but 14 causes en-
tEred, only 4of which are special jury cases. Mr. Ba-
ron Alderson was engaged nearly the whole day in trying
a common jury cause, " Hurst v. Hurst," involving the
question whether the covenants in a farm lease had been
broken by the tenant, the details being utterly destitute
of interest to the public.
In the course of the afternoon the Grand Jury came
into court with four true bills for murder and attempt-
ing to murder against Mary Ann Geering.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Shrewsbury, July 30.
The civil business closed here on Saturday, and both
Courts were consequently at liberty this morning to at-
tend to the Crown business. Several cases had been
tried on Friday, and on Saturday, by Mr. Justice Erle,
after the disposal of the Nisi Prius for each of those
days. The remainder were all tried to-day. Mr. Jus-
tice Erle rose at half-past three, and- Mr. Baron Rolfe
at, a quarter past four o'clock. Of the cases which arose
before them the following are the only ones deserving of
notice
OBOWN COUB.T.—(Before Mr. Baron RoLsz.)
L. THE BRIDGENORTH MURDER CASE.

At the sitting of the Court,
Mr. HUDDLESTON rose and said that, in consequence
of the intimation which he had received from his Lord-
ship, that he would be prepared to try the case of Mercy
Newton to-day by another jury, he, on .the part of the
prisoner, wished to state that it would be very inconve-
nient to the prisoner to have the trial take place now ;
and that, in consequence of the view taken by his Lord-
ship of the medical evidence, it would be necessary, for
the prisoner's defence, to call medical gentlemen who
could not be now summoned in time; and the Learned
Gentleman handed in an affidavit in support of this
statement.
Mr. PHILLIXORE, on the part of the prosecution,
would not oppose the application.
It was, then arranged that the third trial should be
postponed till the spring assizes, and that an entry should
be made on the record of the facts attending the discharge
of the jury yesterday—the giving of medicine to one of
them, and the sitting of the Court on Sunday. With re-
ference to the last point,
His LoanstuP observed, that though it was not in
modern times the practice to sit on Sundays, yet he had
no doubt that in a case of necessity like this it was per-
fectly competent to hold sittings on Sundays. He remem-
bered some years back a question was made as to whether
a court could sit on the Epiphany.
- The prisoner was then removed.
Charles. Colley, a labourer, aged 40, was indicted for
the wilful murder of John Micklewright, a police officer,
in the execution of his duty, on the 2d of January, at
Acton Burnell, in this county.
Mr. Bailey and Mr. Corbet appeared for the prosecu-
tion. The prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that on the evening of the day in ques-
tion there was a great number of people assembled at
the Stag's Head public-house, in Acton Burnell; and,
a quarrel having taken place between the prisoner and
another man, some confusion and uproar ensued, upon
which the deceased was called in to restore order. He
succeeded in doing so, and the greater part of the
company went away. Colley remained a little time
after the others, but went away on being requested to
do so. The policeman, who, as well as the prisoner,
was a little the worse for liquor, remained in the
house with two or three other men. About twenty

minutes after Colley wanted to get some more liquor,
but the landlord would not give it. The policeman
went
e prisoner,
d away
irect io
same
into a beer-house to toss for a pint of beer. Mickle-
wright spoke to him gently, saying "Now, Charley,
go home quietly, like a good fellow, and do
not stop here making a disturbance," and went
some distance with him. After going a little
further Micklewright left him, and he again turned
from the direction of the home towards the Stag's
Head. He was then making a noise, calling out
and shouting. Micklewright went up to him to make
him go home, and took out his staff.. The prisoner im-
mediately caught the staff with his left hand, and strug-
gled for the staff for a few minutes, and then struck
Micklowright with his right hand, and knocked him
down, and took the staff, and jumped on his legs, and
then fell on him. Micklewright cried out, " Oh, God,
my legs are broken." He was then taken into the
Stag's Head, and Colley came in soon after, and said,
" Here is your staff." Micklewright answered, "You
are a nasty mgn for doing such an action." His legs
were broken, and the inflammation consequent upon that
produced death in a few days.
The prisoner was found Guilty of Manslaughter, and
was sentenced to ten years' transportation.
Samuel Adams, aged 25, a beerseller, was indicted for
having, on the 9th of February last, at a, County Court,
holden at the parish of Wallington, before Mr. Uredale
Corbel, committed wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Huddleston appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Phillimore for the defence.
It appeared that a brother-in-law of the prisoner,
named Thomas Lloyd Haden Jones, gave his promis-
sory-note for 191. to one Sarah Sankey, and that the
prisoner signed his name as the attesting witness. Sarah
Sankey sued Jones on the note in the County Court, and
was obliged to call the defendant, the attesting witness,
who denied that he had seen it executed, or that the
signature of the attesting witness was in his hand-
writing. The plaintiff was thereupon non-suited, or in
plain language, lost her suit, and then instituted this
prosecution. The facts above-stated were clearly proved.
The defence was, that what he had said was true, and
he instructed his counsel to call witnesses in support
of this position, but the first ono called, who was a very
respectable-looking young woman, on cross-examination,
so palpably foreswore herself, that his counsel refused to
call another, or have anything more to do with the case,
and he was convicted by the jury without any hesita-
tion ; and, in consequence of the shocking and aggra-
vated nature of his crime, he was sentenced to one
month's imprisonment, with hard labour, and, at the end
cf that time, to seven years' transportation.
The sentence seemed to take him entirely by surprise,
re and ho burst into tears.

MIDLAND CI llCUlT.—Warwick, July 30.
The commission for the southern division of the
county was opened on Saturday evening as late as ten
at night, the judges not being able to get from Coventry
until a late hour. The business here is light, there being
but 16 causes and about 50 prisoners. Of the former,
one only is marked as a special jury, and there is no
doubt the whole of the business will be gone through by
Wednesday evening. Mr. Baron Parke presides in tha
Civil, and Mr. Justice Coleridge in the Criminal Court.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.--OWEN V. COX.
Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., and Mr. Hayes were the
counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Mellor conducted the
defence,
