VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before 'dice-Chancellor Sir KNIGHT BRUCE.)
GIIINESS V. HORNBLOWER.
An injunction was moved for and obtained against
Mr. E-ornblower, a printer, to restrain him from print-
irig labels similar to those used by the plaintiff, and
affi,:ced to his bottled stout. It was stated that there
w`As only one agent in London authorised by the plaintiff
'co use his labels, but that George, Turner, Clapham,
1 without authority, had been detected using spurious
' labels, and when an injunction had been obtained
against him, had given up a sheet of these spurious
labels, and the name of the defendant as the printer.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
This Court was unoccupied during a portion of the
time set aside for hearing motions from want of busi-
ness. Those motions which were heard possessed no
feature of public interest.
The Court afterwards sat at nisi prius, but no case of
any importance occurred.

EXCHEQUER.-( T HIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court was occupied during the whole of its
sittings in hearing arguments on demurrer, none of
which presented any feature of public interest.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May 28.)
SUGARS.—Today prices further gave way for Raw
Sugar, as the quantity brought forward was extensive,
and proved more than sufficient for the demand. In
West India Muscovado, only a small moderate of busi-
ness was transacted privately, the purchases amounting
to 670 hhds and trcs, although the rates accepted exhi •
bited a reduction on those of last Friday of is to is 6d.
REFINED. To-day the market for Refined Sugar
had a dull appearance, and prices further declined.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is still wanted, and first sort is
not to be obtained under 33s per cwt.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 3,106
bags China Sugar were sold, but at very low rates ;
exporters were the buyers. Madras met with little
attention, and 2,559 bags were all taken in.
MAIIRITIIIEL—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri-
tius offered at public sale amounted to 8,179 bags, 307
casks, and 217 barrels ; but there was little desire
evinced to operate, and a small part only was sold, at a
reduction on former rates of is to is 6d.

FOREIGN.—The market for all descriptions of foreign
Sugar has presented a tranquil appearance all the week,
whilst the quantity on offer exceeds the wants of all
parties. Importers are still desirous to realise, and have
again plentifully supplied the market.
MOLASSES.—HoIders of West India are not inclined
to accept lower rates, although the stock has been fur-
ther increased ; but the purchases made have been
limited, and 20s to 24s is the value of common to fine.
TEA.—Although there are ready sellers of all kinds of
Congon upon previous low terms, still the purchasers made
have been trifling this week, and the market is well supplied.
In Pouchong there has been very little business done.
Green has met with little attention, and many parcels are
on offer. For Scented Tea the market is in a very dull
state. There are further arrivals. None at present has been
offered at public sale.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 41 casks of
West India Coffee were sold at barely the former value.
Dominica middling 60s, pea berry 755, Jamaica low mid
635, black 21 to 30s, Berbice fine ord 445, Demerara
good ord 41s; 380 bags Ceylon were disposed of at
about the former value. Plantation low mid 54s to 554
6d, fine fine ord 49s 6d to 50s, ord and good ord 41s to
455, pea berry ord 465, red 34s to 375, triage 15s 61 to
24s 6d; 71 bags La Gusyra wera taken in at 45s per cwt.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was offered upon
further reduced terms ; still scarcely any business was
transacted privately, although white Bengal, of low to
fine quality, cculd be obtained at 20s to 225, and yellow
at 18s to 19s per cwt. 10 boxes African Arrowroot, at
public sale, were taken in at 3id to 4d ; 160 tins Jamaica
6d to 7d ; and 113 boxes Barbadoes 3d to 3id per lb.
SAGO.—The supply is still large, and exceeding the
demand, a further decline in the value has taken place.
Of 1409 chats of small Pearl offered at public sale a part
only found buyers. There are yet large parcels to
arrive, and a further fall in the value is expected to take
place. Sago Flour is dull of sale. Tapioca sells slowly.
Of Arrowroot the supply yet exceeds the demand.
SPICES.—To-day: at public sale 8 cases 2 bags Nut-
megs were taken in—mouldy garbled therefrom, good
brown 3s to 3s ld. Four cases Mace, good sound 3s 2d
to 3s 3d, middling 3s, but slightly mouldy sold at
2s 10d per lb.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Jamaica Rum

the market has exhibited a firmer appearance, and since
our last report the rates obtained are equal to those pre-
viously current for all sorts, and a very good demand has
been experienced, chiefly from the home trade. The
total sales for the week are 200 puns. The market is
well supplied with the middling sorts. Leeward Island
met with little attention, and the business transacted this
week has been much less than in the former—whilst
holders are more inclined to sell at 3s 3d to 3s 4d proof
strength. There is a fair supply at market. East
India is little wanted, and holders are not so
firm : the small parcels sold were at 3s to 3s 2d for
proof with certificate. For Demerara a good demand
exists, whilst full rates have been obtained, and the total
sales for the week are 200 puns. There are ready sellers
of Brandy upon further reduced.terms; still few parcels
of any kind have been taken for exportation: whilst the
home trade have operated with much caution. Geneva
is wanted for exportation. For British Corn spirits the
demand is very good at the late advanced rates.
Ou.s.—This afternoon at public sale 43 tuns of Sperm
Oil sold at 861 103 to 17/. 110 tuns of Southern at
241 lOs to 2615 s for middling to fine, being cheaper.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal was in excel-
lent request, and 122 bags at auction were sold at 4s 9d
to 5s for good ordinary to good bold Teneriffe silvery
black, which is the full value. .

,
TALLow.—On the spot there has be( n a material:in-
crease in the demand this week for Russian; pi ices have
advanced, and 48s 9d to 49s paid for fine Petersburgh
Yellow Candle. For delivery in the last three months of
the year the operations are upon a large scale at 47s Gd
to 47s 9d. For home made a good demand exitsts at
48s to 48s 6d, nett cash. Other kinds of Tallow met
with rather more attention, and have improved in value.
