CLE R KEN UTELL.

George Riley, au errand-boy in the service (f Mr.
Drewitt, a jenellor avid fvoldimith, in Ilation-garden,
was brought before Mr. Cotnbe, charged with having
stolen a large qty,utity of rubis, pearls, and turquoises,
an other precious :stones, the property of Mr. William
liazzoll, a jeweller, carrying on business at No. 24,
GloucQster-street, Clerkenwell.

Mr. }laza -11 stated that the prisoner came t > his place
of business on Ttlursday evening, about 5 o'clock, to get
some work, with which the witness had been entrusted
by the prisoner's master, for the purpose of finishing:
It was in another room next to that in which the pri-
soner was, and, having gone in for it, on his return he
perceived that one of the drawers in which he kept the
more valuable description of stones was partly open,
and a number of turquoises scattered on the ground.
The prisoner appeared very much alarmed when he per-
ceived that the state of the drawer was observed, and
said he would go away and come back again in about
ten minutes. The witness, however, detained him, an,i,
upon searching him, found in his pockets two small
boxes, containing between three hundred and four hun-
dred of the above description of stones, which he recog-
nised as his property, and which had been safe in the
drawer some short time before ; and also a valuable
chrystal-handled gold seal, which it was subsequently
discovered the prisoner had stolen the day before from
Mr. Couch, another jeweller, residing on Clerlcenwril-
, green. The prisoner at first denied having stolen any-
thing, and said the seal was his own, but acknowledged
the truth when he was taken into custody by the piice-
man.
Mr. Couch said that the prisoner came to his shop
the day before yesterday with some work from Mr.
Drewitt, and soon after his departure the seal was
missed, but suspicion never rested upon him until the
constable brought it to the shop this morning, as ha had
been in the habit of often coming to the place en errands
before.

The prisoner, who said be had no defence to make to
the charge, .was fully committed fir trial upon both
charges.
His father applied to have him liberated on bail, but
Mr. COMBE said, as it was evident the prisoner had
availed himself of his situation, which afforded him ac-
cess to places where much valtiab!e property was kept,
to plunder wherever he found an opportunity, he could
not think of granting the application.

MARK ET NE WS.-(YESTERDAY

C OZ.N-EXCHAN CI E.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our m arket since Mon-
day having been on a very moderate scale, the show of sam-
plea of that article here to-day was trifling, owing to which,
and the increased attendance of buyer, the demand was
again active, at a further improvement in the quotations of
fully is. per quarter, and at which a good clearance was
effected. The inferior kinds of free foreign Wheat were in
excellent request, for shipment to Ireland, at a rise of from
18. to 2s. per quarter. The best descriptions moved tiff
steadily, at extreme currencies. Bonded Grain was again
higher. Scarcely any Barley was on offer. Those in want
were compelled to give Is to 2s per quarter more money for
malting and distilling sorts, grinding parcels being held at
full prices. The whole of the supply of Malt was readily
cleared off, at an improvement of quite -1s per quarter. In
Oats, a fair business was doing, and the rates must be con-
sidered 6d higher. Beans, Peas, and Flour were looking up-
ward, with a good demand.

Although the supply of Beasts on offer here was very limited,
and of inferior qual►ty, the Beef trade was extremely dull,
and. in some instances, the quotations had a downward
tendency. There were in the market twenty-six Beasts
and thirty Sheep from Holland. With Sheep we were
scantily supplied, yet the sale for that description of
' stock was in a depressed state, at barely Monday's reduced
currencies. Prime small Calves sold readily at full prices.
In other kinds of Veal, next to nothing was doing. The
Pork trade was heavy, at late rates. Mulch Cows were dull
at from 161 to 181 each, including their small Calf.

The show of vritsf7C;;;ViTtitlarger than
for some time past, hence the demand for all descriptions
was in a very inactive state; yet the quotations were mostly
supported. The following were the current rates :—Sus-
sex pockets, 3/ 12s to 41 6s; Weald of Kent pockets, 41
to 4/ 8s ; Mid and East Kent pockets, 415 s to 6165.

(From the London New Price Current of January 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day West Indic met with attention, and a
good business was transacted in all sorts, considering the
small and indifferent assortment, the quantity sold amount-
ing to 200 hhds and trcs. The rates paid were even rather
above those previously quoted, making the rise for the week
Is to 2s per cwt, and the total sales 1,520 hhds and tres.
The market closed with a firm aspect for all kinds of raw
Sugar.
REFINED.—To• day the demand was active for refined
goods for home consumption, and further advanced rates are
paid—brown lumps selling at 64s to 653, and standard lumps
66s per cwt. For Crushed Sugar prices are firm.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
much attention, and 6,374 bags at public sale were all sold at
a further advan'e in prices of is to is 6tl on grey, brown,
and inferior yellow, and 6d to is on the better sorts of yellow.
East' lmna.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 4,495 bags, were offered at public sale,
when the whole sold at fully former rates.

FOREIGN.—The demand has much increased for all de-
scriptions of Foreign Sugar for home consumption this week.
Merchants have confidence, and refrained from supplying the
market lari;-vly, although buyers pH advanced rates with
eadine:-:s. By private contract many purchases have been
made in all kinds, and the rates given exhibit a rise on those
that existed previous to the holidays of is 6d to 2s for Java,
Is for Manilla, is to Is 6d for yellow llavannah, 6d to- Is for
white, and is for brown and white Brazil..

MoLassEs.—A considerable increase has taken place in
the demand for all descriptions of West India this week, and
a rise in the value of Is per cwt took place. The quantity
sold amounted to 400 puns, i‘.nd the operations would have
been upon a larger scale had it not been for the reluctance of
merchants to sell. The demand has been partially specula-
tive, founded on the faith of Molasses being used in the dis-
tilleries and breweries without restriction.
COFFEE.—An increased desire has been manifested to
operate in %Vest India this week, merchants have confidence,
and supplied the market sparingly with all sorts. In the
lower descriptions a good business has been transacted, and
at an advance on the rates of the last public sales of 2s to
3s per cwt. Middirg and good qualities have been much
sought after, and advanced prices are offered, but there is
little remaining in first hands.
Tits.—ln the early part of the week the home trade were
desirous to operate in black Tea, a good business being
transacted in all descriptions at full rates, but merchants were
unable to obtain any advance, in consequence of the quantity
on offer being rather large. Green was disposed of to a fair
extent, but not at better prices.
SPICES.—A large business has been transacted by
private contract, and merchants have obtained prices
they could not previously. At public sale only 1,738 bags
of Slalabar have been offered. In White several purchases
have been made privately, and prices are firmer ; there
being a less quantity on offer. The supply of Pimento is
scanty, and being much in request, buyers are compelled to
pay 4d to 44d privately. The supply is on the decrease of
Ginger, and having a good demand privately, quotations
rule firm for all kinds. For Cassia Lignea there are
few buy ers, - and the tendency of prices is downward,
arrivals being near at hand. -Nutmegs are little wanted,
and holders are inclined to realise. Mace is still in demand.
Cloves are little wanted, and previous rates cannot be ob-
tained. Cassia Buds met with less attention, and can be
obtained upon easier terms. Cinnamon of good and fine
quality fetch full rates, and is wanted, but there are few
buyers of inferior. _ _ _

SPIRIIS.—In Jamaica the purchases made for home con-
sumption and exportation have been extensive, and several
parcels were taken on speculation. Demerara met with ready
purchasers, and the sales amount to 150 puns. Leeward
Island is much wanted, and the prices offered are 4d to 5d
above those previously current. Calcutta met with a free
sale at 3d to 4d a gallon. In Brandy a good deal has been
done in all sorts, and at higher rates. Geneva met with a
much better demand, and prices advanced from 2s 7d to 2s 8d
for common shipping sorts, and 3s 2d to 3s 6d for tine for
home consumption. For British Corn Spirits the demand is
active, and supplies being but moderate, together with the
high rates of grain, caused the distillers to advance the price
of all descriptions—the quotation for Corn: Spirits being now
lls 9,1, Scotch and Irish lis 8d nett cash. English Gin, 22
per cent under proof, lOs 3d, and 17 under lOs 9d per gallon.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India will take place
on the 9th of February ; at present 1,355 chests are declared ;
but it is estimated that in all 8,000 chests will be offered.
Holders are very firm, and insist upon an advance on the
rates of the last auctions of 2d to 4d per lb, and at which ex-
porters and the home trade have taken a fair quantity of all
descriptions.
Rtcs.—Holders of Bengal have confidence, and supply the
market sparingly with all descriptions, as the deliveries are
going on highly satisfactorily, and the stock being on the
decrease. Privately a large business has been transacted in
all sorts, chiefly for home consumption, and further advanced
rates are freely paid.
OlLS.—There has been little desire manifested to one rate in
Cod Oil this week, and having a fair supply, prices have
assumed a downward tendency. Seal has been in ex,mllent
request, and a further rise in the value must be quoted. No
further advance loccurred in the value of Southern, but a
good demand existed, and the stock is small. In Sperm
several purchases were made, and prices ruled firm.
For Olive a brisk demand prevailed, and prices are still
rising, whilst the stock is diminishing. Cocoa Nut is in
small supply, and quotations are still rising. Palm has been
largely dealt in, and holders manifest much firmness. In
Rape Seed Oil a good deal has been done, and quotations
rule firm. Linseed Oil being still plentiful, any advanci in
the value has been prevented from taking place.
T.& ctow.—lirlders of Russian have manifested much
firmness this week; the town and country trade are desirous
to further increase their stocks, and the rates paid are rat her
above those previously current. On the spot large parcels have
been disposed of and.sls 6d to 51 9d paid for fine Petersburgh
yellow Candle. For forward delivery, however, there are
not many buyers at present to be met with, and for the
last three months of the year 45s 6d to 46s is the value.
Home made has been largely dealt in at 51s 6d to 52s nett
cash. All other sorts of Tallow are in good demand, and the
rates paid are rather above those previously current, whilst
there is but a moderate supply.
