MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 15.)
SUGAR.—Io-day a further fall took place in the value
of Sugar, as merchants were free
sellers, allller kindss,andallofpßaartres showing little disposition to do
business. West India, Muscovado was operated in to a
moderate extent, both for scale and pan; whilst easier
rates were taken, and the sales amounted to 680, mak
ing the total quantity sold for the week 1,970 hhds and
trcs, whilst the fall in the value during that time
amounted to 6d to is per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day further reduced rates were taken
for refined goods, still the home trade operated with re-
luctance, and prices closed at 52s 6d to 53s for standard,
and 51s 6d to 52s for brown grocery lumps. Bonded
crushed Sugar sells readily at 28s 6d to 29s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was only
in limited request, gad 3,251 bags at auction went at a
decline on former rates of ls, the chief part sold.
Madras met with little attention, and 3,077 bags were
only in part sold at easier rates, or at a fall on the prices
of the last public sale of is to is 6d.
MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon importers of Mauritius
Sugar were willing tellers, and 4,788 bags, 228 csks and
78 trcs went at a further fall in the value of 6d to is
per cwt.

FOREIGN.—There has been a decrease in the export
demand for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar this week,
and although there are sellers at rather lower rates,
still the purchases made by private treaty have keen
upon a small scale only. The home trade operated with
caution, and the demand from our refiners working under
bond has been trifling. The supply is yet plentiful of
all kinds, and on the part of merchants there is much
desire manifested lo sell.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was operated
in with caution, aid 147 bales 23 half ditto at auction
went at full rates for fine, but other kinds sold at rather
lower prices; fine yellow went at 71s to 795, good 63s 6d
to 665 6d, middling 57s 6d to 61s, low middling 555,
good ordinary 51s6d, triage 14s 6d to 31s 6d, and da-
maged 14s to 565. The market for good ordinary Native
Ceylon is dull at 333 per cwt.
COCOA.—Altholgh West India is offered upon further
reduced terms, sal all kinds have been sparingly dealt
in, and 338 bags )f Trinidad at auction were only in
pare sold. Foreigs is not much required, but as the
stock is nearly all in the hands of one party, we have
little variation to make known in the value, and 35s to
39s is the worth according to quality,
TE4.-41though C"g" canobtai4ed at a further
reduction in the value, still all kinds have been operated
in with much caution privately, although prices have

-
given way during the last three week id for low and
middling kinds, and lid to 2d per lb for good to fine ;
still the town and country trade only purchase sufficient
for their present use, low as prices are, and large as
the consumption is. Pouchong is dull of sale, the ten-
dency of prices is downwards. Souchong is little re-
quired, and can be obtained upon rather lower terms.
Green is dull of sale, and there are sellers at a further
reduction in prices, making the decline during the last
three weeks Id to Id on common, and 2d to 3d on the
better sorts: still the purchases have been to a limited
extent only in all kinds. For Pekoe Tea the market
has a dull appearance, and there are sellers upon low
terms,

RIOE.—To-day East India Rice was operated in with
much caution privately, and 1,364 bags Bengal at public
sale were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of
6d, good bold white but rather dusty selling at 13s 6d
to 14s.

SPICES.—The supply of Cassia Lignea continues to be
small, and all descriptions being much in demand, buyers
are compelled to pay further advanced rates. None has
been submitted to public competition, whilst the stock in
first hands is unusually small. Although the rates
asked for Pimento are high, still all kinds are wanted,
and the parcels disposed of privately were at stiff rates;
whilst the quantity on offer is small. Black Pepper is
offered rather under previous quotations. Mace is held
for the former value, viz., 2s 8d to 3s 4d, and fine 3s 6d
to 4s; at auction six cases were trken in at 3s to 3s 2d
for middling and good middling. There is but a mo-
derate quantity on offer of any kind. Nutmegs cannot be
obtained upon lower terms, still the home and export de-
mand has fallen off, and privately only a limitei business
has been concluded ; whilst 13 uses 6 caskes at auction
were only in part disposed of. Cloves are wanted, but at
moderate prices. Prices remain low for Cinnamon. For
Ginger prices remain much the same as those previously
current.

SPIRITS.—On the part of importers of Jamaica Rum
a strong desire has been shown to realize this week, and
the rates taken by them exhibit a decline on those that
existed previously of 2d per gallon, still all kinds met
with little attention from exporters or the home trade,
and the total sales for the week do not exceed 150 puns
Demerara met with a dull sale, and suffered a further
decline. Leeward bland met with little attention, and
is offered upon further reduced terms, for 100
puns is 10d have been taken for proof
strength. East India is little required and must
must again be quoted cheaper, only 140 puns
were sold at is 8d to is 9d proof with certificate. Ha-
vannah is heavy of disposal, and scarcely worth is 6d to
Is 7d for proof. There are further arrivals of Rum.
Brandy is offered at further reduced rates, but there are
few buyers to be met with for any purpose.
INDIGO.—TO- day during the progress of the sale 1,685
chests were withdrawn 596 chests passed the sale.
Nearly the whole of this quantity consisted of ordinary
and low kinds of Bengal and Oudes, which went off
heavily at the rates previously established, viz., 4d to 5d
discount. Proprietors bought in 213 chests.
Ls.—Although there are sellers of Linseed Oil at
further reduced rates, still the purchases made by the
home trade have been to a limited extent only, whilst
the shipping orders entered into are unimportant.
There is a desire on the part of the crushers to
sell at 24s 6d to 24s 9d on the spot. For forward de-
livery not many buj ers are to be met with at 2.5 s
per cwt there are sellers. The supply is on the increase,
and will continue so as prices are yet encouraging to the
crushers. Rapeseed Oil is not much required, and holders
are less firm. Palm has been only in limited request, and
fine can be obtained at 33s 6d to 345, low to good 30s to
33s 6d, although there is but a moderate stock here, still
holders are desirous to sell. For Cocoa Nut Oil prices
rule unusually high iti consequence of the scanty sup-
ply, and there being several purchases for home consump-
tion. The sales made in Olive for all purposes have
been of little moment, and the stock is on the increase,
whilst there is a desire on the part of holders to sell.
TALLOW.—This afternoon prices further declined for
Tallow, and 46s is the value of fine new P. Y. Candle
on the spot. At public sale 78 casks Australian sold at
42s 6d to 455; 142 chests of old Petersburg yellow
Candle 455; 30 casks Melted taken in at 46s 9d; 68
casks Italian sold 43s 6d to 44s 61; 510 casks Taganrog

WORSHIP- STREET.
MISCONDUCT OF A POLlCEMAN.—lnspector Ellis, of
the H division, made a communication to Mr. Arnold,
the sitting magistrate, relative to a policeman named-
Jessop, who appeared before Mr. Hammill a few days
since to support a charge of assault against a man
named Hurley, but which charge was met by a
counter-imputation of excessive violence on the part
of the constable, who it was alleged had in the first
instance kicked and knocked down the son of the de-
fendant, a child eight years old, and subsequently at-
tacked the mother of the latter with his truncheon,
and inflicted a severe wound on her head. After
hearing several witnesses to substantiate the defence,
Mr. Hammill dismissed the complaint against Hurley,
and after strongly animadverting upon the conduct of
the policeman, desired that a statement of the case
might be forwarded to the authorities at Scotland-
yard, with a view to ulterior proceedings.
Inspector Ellis now intimated that the report had
been laid before the Commissioners, who at once sus-
pended the policeman, and directed an immediate in-
vestigation of the matter to be proceeded with before
the magistrate ; but upon calling that morning upon
the man Hurley, and requesting him to sign the
charge-sheet, he declined doing so, and expressed his
intention to forego any further proceedings against
the officer.
Mr., Vann, the solicitor for Hurley, entered the
Court soon after, and confirmed the above announce-
ment, stating that his client had acted under the
charitable suggestions of his wife, who had been in-
formed, since the previous examination, that the con-
stable had a wife in delicate health, and a large family
dependent on him for support, and that his conviction
must inevitably result in the loss of his situation.
CLERKEN WELL.

John Haynes, whipmaker, residing at No. 16, St.
James's-buildings, Clerkenwell, was charged with
having committed a brutal assault upon his wife.
It appeared from the evidence of the wife, whese
eyes were dreadfully blackened and swollen, and who
was in a weakly state in co733equence of other inju-
ries she had received from th 2prisoner's violence, that
she had been married to the prisoner twelve months,
and she was enciente. She lived in the same house
with the prisoner and her mother. He was in the
habit of quarrelling with them and treating them with
great violence. On the previous evening he returned
home and renewed his quarrels, when he beat her,
knocked her down, and jumped upon her body. He
also made an attack upon her mother, who was very
much injured, and they gave him no provocation for
such brutal conduct.
Mr. TYRWHITT said that the prisoner's conduct
was cowardly, wanton, and brutal, and he fined him
in the penalty of 51., or in default of payment, two
months' imprisonment in the House of Correction ;
and also ordered him to find two responsible sureties
for his good behaviour after he had paid the penalty,
or suffered the imprisonment.
He was then conveyed to prison.
SOUTHWARK.

John Cook, a regular Jack Sheppard-looking
young fellow, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cot-
tingham, charged with attempting to rob a gentleman
in the Blackfriars-road.
Police-constable 127 L said, that a little after eight
o'clock last evening he perceived the prisoner behind a
gentleman at a picture-shop window. Knowing him
to be a thief, he watched him, and saw him put his
right hand into the gentleman's pocket, when he
seized upon him and took him into custody.
Mr. COTTINCIIIAM-15 the gentleman in attendance?
Officer—He is not, and he stated his unwillingness
to come forward, as he had not been robbed of any-
thing. The prisoner, however, was well known, and
had been out of prison only a week, after being com-
mitted for two months at Bow-street for a similar
offence.

Mr. COTTINGHAM told the prisoner that it was
fortunate for him that he hadinot stolen anything from
the gentleman'; had he done so it would have been his
(the magistrate's) duty to have committed him for
trial, when transportation must have been the result.
He hoped that escape would act as a caution to him,
and cause him to alter his mode of life, and become
an honest member of society. As he was a character
that could not be let loose upon the public without
same punishment, he should sentence him to two
months' imprisonment.

Ann Edgar, a thin, delicate-looking woman,
dressed in faded black, with a child in her arms, and
described on the police-sheet as a ballet-daneer, was
brought before Mr. Cottingham charged with steal-
ing a blanket and sheet from her ready-furnished
apartments.

Elizabeth Fullaway stated that she lived in Queen-
street, Lambeth, and that the prisoner took a ready-
furnished room in her house at ss. a week, stating
that she had an engagement at one of the theatres,
and on . that account was generally occupied
in her professional business late at night.
The prisoner took possession of her apartment
last week, and brought a child with her, and, ac-
cording to her statement, she went out every evening
and remained out late, leaving the child at home in
bed. On Saturday last, during the absence of the
prisoner, complainant went into the room she occu-
pied and missed a blanket and sheet off the bed,
and on her return home when questioned she admitted
she had pledged them at the pawnbroker's shop, and
promised to redeem them immediately. Not keeping
her promise complainant gave her into custody. The
articles having been produced were identified by the
owner, and when the prisoner was asked why she had
acted so dishonestly, her reply was that she and her
child were in great distress, and that she took the
blanket and sheet, intending to redeem them the
moment she could get a little money. She was en-
gaged as a ballet dancer or figurante at the Strand
Theatre, which she quitted about a month ago, the
manager being in her debt, and although she had
made application for the money repeatedly, she could
not obtain it. Since she left the theatre she had been
gaining a scanty subsistence for herself and child by
needlework. Her salary as ballet dancer was 63. a
week.

Mr. COTTINGRAM said the prisoner's situation was
to be deplored, but still she was not justified in taking
her landlady's goods. Under all the circumstances
of the case he should only fine her 6d., but she must
pay the money which she had obtained on the goods,
amounting to 4s. 6d., before he should discharge her.
The prisoner was locked up until four o'clock,
when a female relative being apprised of the unfortu-
nate position in which she was placed, paid the money.
She was then discharged.
