WORSHIP-STREET

Charles Reynolds, a man who appeared to have " seen
better days," was charged with having stolen three
sheets from a lodging-house, kept by a person named
Mary Jacksoy, at 52, West Smithfield.

The prisoner was given into custody by Mary Sweet,
the owner of a marine store-shop, in Playhouse-yard, St.
Luke's, to whom he had offered the property for sale.
Upon unfolding the sheets for the purpose of inspecting
them prior to making the purchue, she observed the
words " Stop thief, 72, West Smithfield," painted in large
red letters, in at least a dozen places ; and she stopped
the prisoner accordingly until the arrival of a policeman,
into whose custody she handed him over.
The MAGISTRATE remarked that, it was the first time
he had seen property that was made to become its own
hue and cry when it fell into dishonest hands.
Inspector Barton said that it was customary at low
Felging-houses to inscribe similar warning words on all
the loose property. At eating-honses also, of the same
class, the plates, knivc 5, and forks, were attached to the
tables with good strong chains, to preserve them from the
cupidity of the customers.

The owner of the lodging-house identified the pro-
perty, and said that the prisoner walked away with it
concealed under his clothes on the preceding morning.
In his defence the prisoner said that he once held a
situation in a Government establishment, but he had
been reduced by a series of misfortunes to the lowest
depths of destitution anti misery.
The prisoner was remanded.

THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY,

(From the London Mercantile Journal of July 20.)

SUGAR.—The demand was brisk to-day from both grocers
and refiners, and at the public sales an advance on the rates of
Friday of Is per cwt was established. 94 hhds 12 trcs Barbadoes
and 276 hhds 134 barrels St. Lucia were offered, wl.ich went
off briskly, the former at 63s to 69s for middling to fine yellow,
and low 62s 6d ; the latter fetched 68s to 69s for low to fine
yellow, and good brown 57s per cwt. The total sales of the
vteek reach 1,100 hhds and fres. _ _ _

Al ua ITI Two public sales were brought forward to-
day, consisting of 9012 bags, which went off briskly at an ad-
vance on the prices established at the close of last week of 6d
to Is per cwt for yellow sorts.
EAST INnIA. The demand for white and fine yel-
low qualities of, Bengal continues good, and stiff prices
arc obtained, while the inferior sorts are still dull, and
remain at former rates. The public Yaks consisted of 6,557
bags, which went off briskly and at 6d above former rates, and
all sold; middling to good white at 66s to 71s 6d, low 64s to
655. yellow middling to fine 55s to 63s 6d per cwt.
Fortunti.—There is little inquiry for this article, and
nothing done excepting a floating cargo of mixed Bahia, the
brown at 18s., and the white at 22s per cwt, deliverable at a
near port.

11EFIN an. —The demand for grocery descriptions continues
active, and prices are still looking up, with very few goods ready
for delivery ; sa-es made in Standard Lumps at 95s to 95s 6d,
and in common brown Lumps at 93s to 94s per cwt, and upon
these terms purchases are making for delivery the next fort-
night. Crushed Sugar refined from Foreign is still in good
request, and 30s 9d readily paid for parcels to be delivered im-
mediately.
COFFEE.—The market is still quiet, but importers are not
anxious sellers, and very little is offering. The public sales to-
day comprised only 1,002 bags Ceylon, and 56 frazils 73 bales
Alty.!ha : the Java all sold at 66s 6d to 68s for good ordinary,
being the full value ; the latter went at 97s to 102 s for good
ordinary yellowish, wich are full rates.
TEA.—The public sales to-day consisted of 14,000 pkgs.
There was a fair attendance of the trade, but no spirit was
evinced in the biddings, the merchants for the most part hav-
ing taxed their teas at prices equal to the sales of Tuesday last,
which the buyers were not prepared to give, consequently the
bulk of the quantity put up was bought in. The proportion
sold (about 5,600 packages) however established a decline
of Id per lb on the rates of Tuesday last for Twankay and the
lower qualities of Congou, but showed no variation worthy of
notice in other sorts. The prices at which sales were made
are as follows :—Congeu, good ordinary coarse and flat 2s 30
to 2s 3id, but middling rather blackish H M kind littla strong
2s 3ad to 2s 44d, middling blackish leaf strong Pekoe
flavour 2s 9d to 2s 111,id, good blackish leaf strong
Pekoe flavour 3s, very choice mellow Pekoe flavour
3s l to 3s led; Twankay, but middling coarse end
strong burnt 2413 d to 23 34-d, but middling coarse rather flat.
2s Vhd to 2s 4d; Pouchong 2s Id to 2s 5d ; Orange Pekoe,
but middling coarse and flat 2s 7id to 2s 71/2,1, but middling
brisk burnt 2s 9d, middling strong, rather fresh scented 3s
lldto 3s 3d, and Gunpowder ( Canton) good ordinary faint
2s 9,1-4 to 2s 10d per lb. There was little business done in
Company's :Congou, and the cash price receded to 23 31/2d
per lb.

Sri RlTS.—There has been a slight reaction in the Rum
market this week ; a much better demand has appeared for the
lower descriptions of Rum than for sortie time past, and a
good business has been done. Leeward Island sorts have ad-
vanced Id per gallon, but common Jamaica has sold uponrather
easier terms. The transactions of the week are as follows :
about 100 puns Demerara 30 to 35 over picof at 3s 4d to 3s
8d ; 200 puns Leewards, proof to 9 over at Is lld to 2s Id, 12
to 15 over at 2s 2d to 2s 3d ; and 300 *puns Jamaica. 28 to 33
over at 9s 6d to 4s 9d, 34 to 36 over at 43 10d to 5 r,w th supe-
rior marks at 5s 6d to Gs per gallon. East India rim is more
in request, but the holders require advanced price, which
cheek business ; about 300 hhds of Calcutta have' changed
hands at Is 4d per gallon for proof strength. The Brandy
market is firm, and old vintages are sought after at rather
higher rates ; 4s 8d to 4s 10d paid for first brands of 1838.
There is little inquiry after Geneva, but prices are unaltered.
British Corn Spirits in good de...and at Os lld per gallon.
SA Tarn rtE.—East India Rough continues in good request,
and 1,771 bags brought to public sale sold at full rates ; Cal-
cutta, i* to GI per cent. fetched 26s 6d to 27s 6d; Madras,
104 to 84 per cent. 26s Gd to 27s per ewt.
CASSIA LIGNEA.-100 chests were brought to the hammer
this afternoon, and sold at 95s to 100. s for low to good middling,
which is Is higher.
RlCE—Bengal is inquired after, and 777 pockets offered by
public auction were disposed of at 12s 6d to 133 for good mid
white, being rather higher.
TA LLow.—The demand fur Russian Tallow continues very
limited, to effect sales to any extent lower prices would have to
be submitted to. The nearest quotations thiS afternoon on
'Change were 47s on the spot, and 47s 3d for new to arrive.
Orr.s.—There is little alteration to notice in the value of
eminon Fish Oils, and the market remains much in the sime
state as last week. Southern has met a good inquiry at about
former prices, and the whole of '220 tuns offered at public sale
on Friday found buyers, fine pale at 261 lOs to 26/ 15c, good
at 23/ 15s to 26t, middling at 211153 to 26/ 10s, and dark
at 24/ tri. 241. ]Os , with one lot black 231. Cod has gone oft
slowly at about the prices quoted. Pale Seal continues to be
held firmly at about 311. 15s. to 325. per tun, but buyers not
being disposed to pay more than 31/. 10s., we have hail little
done. Sperm Oil steady, fine quality of British catch brings
951 to 961 per tun. Linseed Oil—a good business has been
done chiefly for export at 28s 3d to 28s 6d, and 28s Od
to Sr Isis now the price generally demanded, the crushers having
but little Oil on hand. Rai e Oil remains quiet at former
quotations.
Paovisimes.--For Irish Butter there continues to be a
limited request only, but no further reduction ran be quoted in
prices ; the buying has been chiefly to supply the want: of the
trade, an opinion being still very prevalent that prices will further
recede. Foreign. Butter in small, supply; piiine qualities go off rea-
