cester Railway; 201. on forty Direct London
and Manchester Railway Shares; and 260/. upon
twenty shares in the General Maratime Assurance

his last examination.

SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS, Sept. 11.
(Before Thomas PUCKLE, Esq., and a Bench of Ma-
gistrates.)
THE FRAIL FAIR ONE AND THE BENEDICT.—
Ann Scott, 25, a fashionably-dressed young woman,
was indicted for stealing a silver watch and chain
from the person of William Truscott.
Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor, a dapper little man of rather
consequential appearance, said that he lived at No.
4, Dean-street, 'fooley-street, Southwark, and that
about two o'clock on the morning of the 14th
of August, he was proceeding along the Bo-
rough towards home, a little the worse
for liquor, and as he was passing St.
George's Church, the prisoner accosted him
to
asked him to treat her. He refused to do so, and o
her he was going home, when she took hold of his
arm and walked with him some distance. When near
Mermaid-court she suddenly snatched his watch from
him and ran away. He immediately pursued her,
and called out "Stop thief," and as she was running
away a policeman caught hold of her and found the
watch in her right hand.
In cross-examination, witness said he had a wife
and six children, and he told the former he had been
robbed, but did not say by a female.
Alfred West, police-constable 60 M, said that he
saw the prisoner and the prosecutor walking together
for some time. He was drunk, and suspecting that
something was intended, he watched them into Mer-
maid court. The prisoner suddenly ran out, and
hearing " Stop thief," he stopped her, and Sergeant
Brandford came up and took the watch from her
right hand. She said that the watch was her pro-
perty.
In defence, Mr. CHARNOCK addressed the bench.
The CHAIRMAN summed up, and the jury found
her Guilty.
The COURT said that such robberies had become so
frequent that some example must be made; he should
therefore sentence her to twelve months' hard labour
at Brixton.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
George Stanley Mann, the keeper of one of the
numerous eating-houses in Bucklersbury, was sum-
moned before the Lord Mayor, by Mr. Price, clerk
to a stockbroker, under the following circum-

stances :
Mr. Charles Price, who is a young man of gentle-
manlike appearance and address, made a statement,
of which the following is the substance :
The complainant, on the sth of September, dined
at the defendant's house, and received amongst change
for a half-sovereign a bad sixpence from him. The
complainant pointed out the spurious money to the
defendant, who, however, thought proper merely to
it, and walk away. The complainant then
bent the sixpence, and again called the attention of
the landlord to it, whereupon the latter threw down
another sixpence, and began to curse and abuse his
customer without measure. The complainant walked
out of the house, spoke to a policeman, who accom-
panied him back and asked the defendant to make an
apology for such gross language in the presence of
the officer. So reasonable a demand, instead of being
complied with, had the effect of provoking the land-
lord not only to the use of worse language, but to the
exercise of personal violence. To the astonishment
of gentlemen who were in the other parts of the
room the defendant struck Mr. Price with his double
fist on the back of the neck, and pushed him out of
the house.
Mr Joseph Hare, a merchant, who was at a distant
part of the dining-room when this remarkable scene
took place, described the surprise and confusion caused
by the brutal violence of the person charged ; and the
policeman who accompanied the complainant into the
house, when the latter sought the satisfaction of an
apology, stated that the gentleman did not retaliate a
word of the insolent abuse which had been heaped
upon him.
The defendant, who employed a solicitor upon the
occasion, denied that he had struck the defendant, and
stated that he had been exasperated by what he con-
sidered to be an imputation upon his character by the
complainant, as if he were capable of the offence of
uttering bad money.
The LORD MAYOR—I certainly consider the case a
very gross one, which it is impossible not to take
serious notice of.
The defendant here begged leave to apologise to
the complainant, and implored that allowance might
be made for such a departure from his usual course of
conduct.
The LORD MAyou—My decided impression is that
I ought to send the case to the sessions.
The defendant most earnestly entreated that his
Lordship would adjudicate upon the question, and said
he was ready to pay any penalty which the Bench
might be disposed to inflict.
The LORD MAYOR (the complainant having made
no objection to the proposal for a prompt adjudication)
said—Well, as I perceive that you are really sorry for
your conduct, and as you make an apology, which the
gentleman seems willing to accept, I fine you the sum
of 2/. and costs.
The defendant paid the penalty and departed, appa-
rently well satisfied with the result.
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday, a carman, named Mark Grover, of No.
4, Valentine-place, Blackfriars-road, was charged
before Mr. Alderman Lawrence with having violently
assaulted two men under the following circum-
stances :
Lewis Hammond, of No. 4, William-street, Ken-
nington, said that about two o'clock the previous
afternoon he was driving his omnibus in Bridge-
street, Blackfriars, and was about passing the
defendant, who was driving a horse and cart between
him and the rank of cabs, but in consequence of one
of them being rather out of the line, he saw there
was not room, and therefore called to the driver of the
cart to pull his horse nearer to the pavement. Instead
of doing so, he caught hold of the horse's head, and
pushed him against the omnibus, evidently with the
intention of causing a collision, but he did not succeed.
On passing he gave the cart-horse a slight touch with
the whip, to make it move on one side, when the pri-
soner commenced giving him a severe horsewhipping.
He leaped off the omnibus, and was savagely attacked
by the prisoner, who, using the butt-end of his whip,
gave him a tremendous blow over the head, which
felled him to the ground, and he was conveyed in an
insensible state to the nearest surgeon's, where he had
his wounds dressed.
Alderman LAWRENCE—How far was the prisoner
from the edge of the pavement ? Hammond—From
two to three feet.
Alderman LAWRENCE asked for the medical cer-
tificate.
Samuel Kelt, the officer, here handed it up. It was
as follows :
" I hereby certify that Lewis Hammond is seriously
injured, the scalp bruised and cut, and the tempora,
artery divided.

" CHARLES HoLDENS, Surgeon.
" 13, New Bridge-street, Sept. 11, 1849."
Nicholas Curass, the conductor, corroborated the
above evidence, and added that on his attempting to
interfere, the prisoner gave him a very heavy blow,
cutting through his hat and inflicting a severe wound
on the crown of his head.
A letter was handed to the Alderman from the pri-
soner's master, Mr. P. Wood, of the Surrey saw-mills,
why gave him an excellent character.

Alderman LAWRENCE—WeII, prisoner, what have
you to say in defence?
Grover—Why I was not more than half a foot from
the kerbstone. When the complainant called out I
pulled the horse on the pavement, and as soon as ho
had got a little way passed he whipped my horse and
I whipped him.

Alderman LAWRENCE—But what do you say to
using the butt-end of the whip?
Grover—Why he was corning to strike me, and I
used the whip as I did to prevent him.
Alderman LAWRENCE said that whatever the omni-
bus driver did to the prisoner's horse, nothing could
justify him in using the butt-end of his whip, and
breaking the heads of two men. Ile should, there•

fore, fine him 403. for the assaults, or one month's
imprisonment, and he hoped it would be a caution to
him in future.

The money not being forthcoming, he was con-
veyed to prison ; but at a later period of the day his
wife appeared with it, and she was directed to take it
to the Giltspur-street Compter, where ha husband
was. _ _ _

THE BITER BIT. A well-known young thief,
named John Wheeler, was charged with attempting
to steal a pocket.handkerchief.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. George
Spooner, of 28, King-street, Smithfield, that he had
lost several pocket-handkerchiefs lately, and he there-
fore made up his mind to see if he could not detect
the depredator on his pocket. He accordingly took
the precaution of pinning his handkerchief to his
pocket, and on coming out of the Red Lion public-
house he waited for an instant at the door, when he
suddenly felt a tug at his pocket, and on turning
sharply round he saw the prisoner with the handker-
chief in his hand, although it was still pinned to the
pocket. He then gave the prisoner into custody.
Wheeler, in defence, said he knew nothing of the
handkerchief. lie merely pushed against the gen-
tleman, and was given into custody.
Alderman LAWRENCE, not believing him, sentenced
him to three months' hard labour in the House of
Correction.

show the 'gentleman. The shopman unsuspectingly
parted with the dressing-case, and the prisoner rang
the bell, and the door having been opened by a fe-
male servant, he entered with the property. The
shopman waited for a short time, and on peeping
into the parlour window, he found the place destitute
of furniture, and his suspicions being aroused he
rang the bell, which was answered by an elderly
woman, and on making inquiries he was informed
that a man had entered the house to request permis-
sion to get over the wall at the back part of the house,
saying that he had lost a key belonging to a desk
which he had in his possesSion. Witness saw no
more of the prisoner or the property until he was in
custody. On the same forenoon, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, the prisoner offered the desk in pledge
at Mr. Redpath's, pawnbroker, in Seymour-street,
Euston-square, for 51., but being suspected he was
questioned as to whether it was his own property. He
said he had been sent with it by Mr. George Fletcher,
cheese merchant, of Goodge-street, Tottenbam-court-
road. The shopman to the pawnbroker spoke to a
policeman, and said he would go with the prisoner to
Mr. Fletcher, but on the road he called the police.
man, whom he saw following them, and gave himself
into his custody, and in the station-house he gave his
name Wm. Edwards, but when at the bar of this
court, William Grindley.
The prisoner was asked what he had to say ?
The prisoner denied any dishonest intention, begging
of Mr. Combe not to send him to prison. He was
the son of Captain Grindley, who served in the 40th
Light Infantry with Colonel Chesterton, the governor
of the House of Correction, with whom he was on
intimate and visiting terms. He was also the friend
Lieutenant Tracey, the governor of Tothill-fields
prison, the governor of the House of Detention, and
many persons of distinction; and lie did not wish to
be disgraced by being incarcerated in prison on a
charge of felony.
Mr. COMBE, however, remanded him until the
pawnbroker and other necessary evidence could be
produced, and on being placed at the bar yesterday he
affected to be very much perturbed in mind, paced
the bar backwards and forwards, bellowing loudly
whilst holding his handkerchief to his eyes and his
hand on the top of his head.
Henry Hall, 264 S, said he had made inquiries
about the prisoner, and ascertained that he had been
twice convicted of felony.
Mr; COMBE told the prisoner that all his acting and
bellowing nonsense would not suit there. It was all
as umed stuff.

Priscner—l know lam guilty. I have acted dis-
honestly and disgraced myself. May I send for my
friends ?

Mr COMBE—You would not send for your friends
yesterday. You then claimed acquaintanceship with
Colonel Chesterton, of the House of Correction, say-
ing your father was with him in the 40th Light In-
fantry. You may now send to your friend, Colonel
Chesterton, if you like; and also to Lieutenant
Tracey, of Tothill-fields.
Prisoner—l can assure your Worship that what I
have said is true; I have been on friendly terms with
Colonel Chesterton; I have visited and dined with
him in the prison ; and was on a visit to him at the
time that Medhurst, the murderer of his schoolfellow,
was confined in the House of Correction ; but I was
never in the prison as a convict.
Mr. COMBS—You may say what you like, hut I
shall not believe you after the many lies you told me
yesterday.
Prisoner—lf I did tell lies yesterday, it was only
to clear myself of the charge against me. I can
assure you I would not tell a gratuitous lie. Cir-
cumstances caused me to do what I have done.
Mr. COMBE—Were you ever charged at Maryle-
bone Police-court ? Prisoner—Yes, but it was a
false charge.
Mr. COMBE—Were you charged there more than
once ? Prisoner—Yes, twice; I borrowed a glazier's
knife to put in a pane of glass, and they said I stole
the knife.

Officer—Yes, and a hammer too.—(A laugh.) Do
you remember being charged with stealing a sove-
reign ? The prisoner hung down his head and said
nothing to this.
Mr. COMBE—Do you remember t hat ? Prisoner
(hesitatingly, and in an under tone)—Yes, I do.
Mr. COMBE-Why, I never met with a more
impudent thief in all my life.
The prisoner was about to say something else, when
Mr. Mallet, the clerk, told him that nothing he
could say here in reference to the charge would
serve him.
The several witnesses were examined in confirma-
tion of the evidence, and the property was identified.
The prisoner entreated Mr. Combe by name not to
remand him to prison.
Mr. Commi-1. shall fully commit you for trial on
the charge.
Prisoner--013, pray, do let me send for my friends.
Mr. COMBE said he would eventually be committed
to Newgate for trial ; but he would remard him, to
allow him an opportunity to send for or communicate
with his friends.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price current, Sept. 11.)
SUGAR,—To-day the West India Sugar market pre-
sented a firm appettrance, and the rates of Friday
were obtained for all sorts. There was a much
better demand for refining purposes, and grocers
were buyers to a fair extent. The pur-
chases amounted to 700 hhds, &c., including a
public sale of 105 hhds Barbadoes, which went at
steady rates; fine yellow at 39s 6d to 40s 6:1, and &I:i-
-dling to good at 37s 6d to 39s per cwt. The quantity
of Sugar on offer to-day was less than for some time
past, and holders have more confidence.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was dealt in with
caution for home trade purposes, and rather lower rates
were accepted. Sales of brown Lumps were made at
47s 61 to 48s, and fair grocery 48s 6d to 491. Bonded
Crushed Sugar met with a brisker sale at 293 to 30s
per cwt.
Mkuurrius.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was
dealt in with more freedom by private treaty at former
rates, and none was offered at public sale.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was more activity
in the market for Bengal Sugar; 3,744 bags at auction
all sold—good yellow, like Mauritius 38s tScl to 395, fine
39s 6d to 40s 6d, middling 37s 6d to 38s, fine strong
Yellow 41s 6d to 42s 64, mid soft yellow 35s tc 365. good
37s to 38s, fine grainy 43s 6d to 44s 6d. Madras met
with a better sale by private treaty, and full rates were
paid.

FOREIGN —To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty little business was con-
cluded; there are also free sellers at former rates.
MOLASSE3.—OnIy a limited business has been con-
cluded in West India, and a desire is evinced to sell at
from 16s to 18s 61 for low to fine quality. East India
Treacle has been dealt in with caution, and sellers are
ready to accept 15s to 15s 6d per cwt: there is a fair
amount on offer. _ _

COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sale of 503 cases of
Tellicherry Coffee, at 4d duty, went at stiff rates, fine
fine ordinary at 59s to 59s 6d, fine ord 563 to 58s, good
ord 48s to 50s, inferior 42s 61 to 445, and pea berry 61s
to 64s 6d. Native Ceylon met with less attention, but
holders were firm, and 2,040 bags at auction partly
sold at full rates, good ordinary at 39s -64.1 to 40s,
real good ordinary 403 Gd to 41s, and damaged 34s to
393. Of Plantation 140 casks 446 bags were offered and
all disposed of at ab3ut former rates—fine fine ord at
50s to 543 6d, good and fine ord 41s 61 to 495, and pea-
bn•ry 56s to 58s 6d, but a:0 sales went less brisk. 162
bags Madras sold at 36s 6d to 383 for low good ordinary
mixed.

COCOA.— Foreign continues to meet with little atten-
tion, although there are sellers at the moderate rates
of 26s to 28s per cwt, and the stock does not get
smaller. Fine red West India is still in scanty sup •
ply, and is wanted at late rates, but inferior is
plentiful, and as there is not many buyers prices
are on the decline ; there is, however, still a greater
consumption than in the former year, but the stock is
heavier. For grey Trinidad the value is from 38s to
425, and red 40s to 50s per cwt. From present rates
little variation is expected to take place, as there is no
prospect of a falling off taking place in the consumption.
TEA.—There is no variation to record in the value of
Black, and the uvula has a firm aspect, but only a
limited business has been concluded during the last

few days. The value of common and good ord sound
Congou is 9d to 10d, and only a limited quantity
is ou offer. Full rates are asked for Green, yet
only a limited trade has been, done since our last
report. Scented Caper and Orange Pekoe have been in
good demand, and stiff rates are paid. Public sales of
Tea are advertised for Tuesday next; at present 10,000
pkgs are declared.
RlCE.—Holders of white Bengal are desirous to
realise, and submitted to a reduction on former rates of
6d per cwt. At auction 3,500 bags went from Os to lOs
for mid and good white, and at 7s 61 to 8s for low
broken. Other sorts of East India are not much wanted,
and must be quoted rather cheaper. At auction 860 bags
of pinky white Madras were sold at 8s to 8s 6d. The
value of cargo is 7s 3d to 7s Gd, and pearl barley 8s to
8s 6i per cwt, but the supply consists chiefly of white
Rice of the better sorts. Cleaned Rico continues in ex-
cellent request; town dressed Carolina at 23s to 28s, and
Patna of low to fine quality at 12s to 20s per cwt. Sago
Flour is worth 23s to 245. Tapioca is scarce. For
Arrowroot rather lower rates have been acceded to.
SPIRITS.—The sales made in East India Rum have
been small, and there is a desire to sell proof at is 3d to
is 30. Of Leeward lsland only small parcels have been
sold at is 4 I to is sd. Demerara has been operated
in with caution, and can be obtained at Is 10d
to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 per cent. over proof. For
Jamaica the market is still in a quiet state, shippers and
home dealers purchasing with caution, and the market
is well supplied with low and good mid, but fine is in
small supply. There ere sellers of 20 to 29 per cent
over proof at 2s 2d to 2s 61i 30 to 29 over 2s 7d to 35.,
and favorite marks 3s 3d to 4s. Brandy continues in ex-
cellent demand, and an iaipression exists that prices will
rule higher. The value of Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1848 is 4s to 4s 2d, 1847 ditto 4s Gd to 5s Bd,
1846 ditto 5s 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 ditto 5s 101 to 6s,
inferior marks 2s 6d to 3s 10d, end Barceaux 2s 2d to
2s 3d. Geneva has been in fair demand at is 9d to
Is 101 for exportation sort, and fine at 2s 3d to 3s 3d.
For British made Spirit the market is still firm at
9s 81, for fine at Os Bd, and for Gin at 8s to 8s 6a for
17 and 22 per cent under proof.
SPICES.—For Black Pepper the demand has been
limited by private treaty, both for home use or exporta-
tion. Pod is cheaper, and a public sale of 400 bags
went at from 34s 6d to 38s for low to middling,
but the whole sold. For white a fair sale
exists at 4(1 to Bd. A good trade exists for
Nutmegs, and full rates are paid. A public sale of
30 cases went at from 2 10d to 3s for mid and good mid
brown. Ginger is still in fair demand by some dealers,
the rates paid are fully equal to this day week. At
auction 100 cases Cochin were sold at 83s to 108 s
for mid to good bold, and 180 packages of Ja-
maica at 31 13s to 5/ 5s for ord to good mid. 350
pockets of Bengal went at 21s to 22s 6d for shipping
sort. Pimento is still in small supply, and much wanted
at 4d to slid. The rates paid for Cloves are fully equal
to this day week.
SALTPETRE.—To-day full rates were asked for Salt-
petre, but less business was concluded by private treaty.
At auction 297 bags Calcutta were taken in at 27s 6d for
6 per cent. refraction.
FRUIT.—To-day the price of New Valencia Raisins
opened at 46e. A vessel has arrived with about 60 tons.
INDIGO.—East India continues to be operated in with
caution for home trade purposes, but there exists a fair
demand for export, and last sales rates are supported, but
good and fine qualities from 4s 3d to 4s 10d per lb have
been the most in request. Of Madras a fair quantity
has been disposed of at the previous value. The quantity
declared for public competition on the 9th of October is
17,965 chests.

TALLOW.—A further reduction has taken place for
Russian, and home dealers col:Aimee to operate with cau-
tion. There are sellers of fine P.Y.C. at 385 3d to 385 6d
per cwt. Only a limited business has been concluded for
delivery in the last three months of the year, and sales
can be made at 37s 6d to 38s. Other sorts of Tallow have
been further reduced in value, as the supply continues
to exceed home dealers' wants. At auction 440 casks of
Sydney were only in part sold at 333 to 37s 9d
for low to fine quality ; 316 casks and 284 boxes
South American 34s to 4Gs 3d; 4 casks of Gibraltar
40s, and 3 casks Oporto at 35s 6d. For auction on
Friday 1,600 casks of Tallow are declared nearly all
South American. Fat is 2s lid per stone.
Oths.—An extensive demand has been experienced
for Linseed Oil for home trade purposes, and the latest
rates paid have been 27s to 27s 3d per cwt. For
forward delivery several contracts have • been
entered into ; the market has a firm tone,
and there is also still a large consumption. Rapeseed
Oil is still in good request, and the market is firm: pale
at 39s to 40s, and brown at 38s to 38s 61 Cocoa Nut
continues to meet with little attention, and sellers are wil-
ling to accept 32s to 35s for fair to fine quality,and several
parcels are on offer. The market for Olive is firm, and
there continues to be a good sale ; Gallipoli at 431 to
44/, and other sorts 421 to 431. Palm is only in limited
request, still consumption does not fall off, and 30s 6d to
31s per cwt is the value of first sort, whilst the sup-
ply is moderate. Seal met with a good home trade
demand, and there is firmness i❑ the market. Sales of

pale have been made at 331 to 341, straw and tinged 311
to 321 10s, yellow and brown 281 to 301. Purchases
to a fair extent have been made in Cod at 271 5s
to 271 10s, and the market is firm. For Southern
sales of low and mid quality have been made at 281 lOs
to 291 lOs for low and mid, and at 301 to 311 for good to
fine. Holders of Sperm have confidence, and more has
been offered at auction, whereas a fair business has been
concluded by private treaty, and for fine Colonial the
rates paid are 801. to 811 per tun.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—We
have a large arrival of all descriptions of grain during
the past week, the prevalence of easterly winds having
brought in the Baltic fleet all at once, some vessels
having even beat the advice of their clearance at the
Sound. A good deal of the wheat is for inland account,
and does not come on this market; and a further pro-
portion being of inferior, and for the moment wholly
unsaleable, quality, the amount of really fresh useful
wheat is by no means large; still the trade must be re.
ported as dull in the extreme, and concession even upon
the low rates of last Tuesday has been necessary to effect
sales. The weather has been favourable, and harvest
progresses rapidly. We had again a small attendance of
tarmers at to-day's market, and the little old wheat
shown was taken off at about last week's prices. More
now wheat offering, the quality various, not much
fine, but the condition improved, and yield reported to
be satisfactory. We cannot quote the best runs of
foreign red any lower, indeed they are rather worse to
buy, but the sale of any other description is difficult in
the extreme. There is less pressure on the barley
market than so large an arrival would have led us to an-
ticipate, and consumptive demand is good for useful
grinding qualities. Malting is not good to sell, so few
maltsters having begun work. Beans of first quality are
saleable at our currency. Peas, except interior for
grinding, are difficult of sale, as is also the case with
oats, for which the demand is very limited. d
moderate arrivals of linseed, and an improved dema tn
for oil, the market must be written is to 2s per quarter
dearer for all descriptions. Cakes on the contrary are
easier to buy. There is no rapeseed, except small
cotchels of new English on the market; rape cakes are
worth fully 85s for best quality. Somewhat more in-
quiry, on speculation, for bones, and an advance on late
sales is obtainable.
The following are the present prices of grain :
