MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London Mercantile Journal of October 26.)
SUGAR.—The West India market has been very active
during the week : large purchases have been made both
by the grocers and refiners, and prices have further ad-
vanced 6d to is per cwt on brown and middling yellow
kinds, and is to Is 6d on the better qualities, of which
the market is now nearly cleared. The total transactions
of the week are about 3200 hhds and tierces.

The demand for West India was good to-day, and the
public sales went off briskly at 6d to is advance for fine
sorts ; other kinds realized fully the rates of Friday.
65 hhds tierces Barbadoes fetched 62s 6d to 72s 6d for
low to fine yellow. 151 hhds 18 tierces and bris St Lucia
went at 61s to 72s 6d for mid to very fine yellow, and
good brown at 55s to 575. The private sales were about
500 hhds and trcs.

'l63l,tuarrius.—The public sales comprised 5900 bags
115 casks, the whole of which found buyers, and with
good spirit, at a further advance of is in almost all cases,
butchiefly on the colory sorts ; fine bright and strong
yellow at 68s 6d to 695 6d, good ditto at GGs to 675, good
middling ditto at 64s to 64s 6d, middling at 595, and
strong low brown at 45s Gd per cwt.
EAST INDlA.—Bengal continues in good request, and
Is per cwt higher prices were again paid at the public
sales for white qualities, while the inferior sorts went at
easier rates ; the whole quantity put up was 3,177 bags,
which sold with spirit as follows :—fine white 72s 6d to
74s 6d, good, ditto, 69s to 69s Gd, low to mid ditto, 62s
to 68, brown 40s to 535.

The market continues very dull, and the public sales
which offered 4,211 bags Manilla and 1,026 mats Siam,
established a fall of about is per cwt on late transac-
tions ; the former sold, middling and good yellow at
16s to 17s, damp yellow at 15s Gd to 16a low dry brown
at 14s, and damp ditto at 13s 6d, a few iots at 14s ; the
Siam was all damp white. and sold at 17s to 18s 6d for
low quality.
FOREIGN.—The market is dull, but at a public sale of
709 bags damaged white P.ernambuc) full prices were
obtained and all sold ; finz white, soft at 23s 6d to 245,
gocd ditto at 22s Gd, and in bad condition at 18s 6d to
19s per cwt.

REFINED.—There is a steady demand for grocery
goods to-day, and stiffer prices were paid ; 28s 6d is
the value of standard lumpi. For export the enquiries
are very limited, and 29s to 29s 2d is the price of
crushed in bond.

MokassEs.—At public sale 210 casks Sugar and Mo-
lasses from Mauritius were disposed of at 21s 6d to 295.
169 casks 60 brls Molasses also from Mauritius were sold
at 17s to 22s 6d per cwt.

COFFEE.—The market for home consumption sorts
continues dull, but we have had little alteration in
prices this week, owing to there being a small quantity
only offering fur sale. The importers of West India
have evinced less desire to realise, and most of the
parcels on offer have been withdrawn from the market,
consequently the little business that has been done pri-
vately has supported former rates. The only parcel
brought to public sale consisted of 27 casks 28 barrels
Jamaica, which partly sold at 57s to 67s for good or-
dinary. Unclean and inferior sorts are quite neglected.
The demand to-day was steady for most sorts of
Coffee, and the public sale went at full rates ; 483 bags
Ceylon fetched 67s to 67s 6d for good ordinary ; 1,483
bags East India 35s to 35s 6d for Padang, and 33s for
Sumatra ; 1,800 bags Rio from the Cape 39s to 40s 6d
for good and fine ordinary. Privately more inquiry
existed for Coffee of all sorts.

COCOA.—The demand for Foreign is yet very limited,
and 1,000 bags Guayaquil at public sale were bought in
at 30s 6d for ordinary mixed with damaged.
TEA.—Privately there has not been any animation in
free trade descriptions, but a fair business has been done
for bona fide consumption chiefly in the lower qualities,
and steady prices have been obtained. The frequent
public sales are the means of preventing large pur-
chases privately, and kept the market in a continued
state of uncertainty ; however, all things considered,
the market exhibits a more buoyant and healthy appear-
ance than could have been expected after the receipt of
the advices representing so large a quantity of the leaf
to have been shipped from China to England.
The market was inactive to-day for free trade des-
criptions, but there were few parcels on offer, and no
change in prices was apparent ; is “d is the lowest
point of the market for sound Congou, and even at that
fiigure the quality is very low.
Cernpany's Congou was in limited request only, and
the cash price remained at about is 10-id to is 101 d
per lb. _

RICE.—The market continues firm, and 1,407 bags 390
sacks Bengal at public sale chiefly sold at lls Gd to
12s Gd for middling to good white.
SAGO.—Easier prices are accepted for this article, and
there is little business doing. 693 bags Peer! at public
sale sold at 12s to 13s for low brownish pinky. 197 bags
Sago Flour of good colour, but musty bought in at 12s
per cwt, _ _ _

SP/lIITS.—The demand for Rum continues steady,
but the preference is still given to the fine and strong
qualities of Jamaica, which, produce former prices. No
sales have been made in I)emeraa, and Leewardshave
met with a partial demand only ; they, however, support
:he previous value. The business of the week consists
of about 500 puns Jamaica, 26 to 30 over proof at
4s 4d to 4s 10d, 32 to 34 over at 5s to 5s 3d, 36 to 38
over 5s 6d to 5s 9d, superior marks at 6s 2d to 6s 9d ;
150 puns Leewards, proof of ordinary quality at Is 10d,
bright at is lld to 2s per gallon. 0/East India Rum
150 hhds Calcutta have been sold at is 6d per gallon.
proof strength. Brandy is very firm in price, and the
best qualities are in good demand. Geneva supports
former rates; 2s to 2s ld is the nearest value for export
sorts; fine quality suitable for the home trade brings
2s 6d to 2s 8d per gallon. British Corn Spirits in (re-
mand at lOs 4d per gallon.
At public sale were offered 250 hhds of Bengal Ruin
and bought in at is 71,(1 for l 7 11, per cent over proof,
and at Is 91d f0r.291!, over proof.
PDIESTO.—There is no further alteration in the value
of this article, and the buyers having pretty well supplied
themselves at the recent large public sales, there is little
enquiry and the business is almost confined to a trifling
parcel of 48 hags by public auction, middling even at
3Ad, and stalky at 24(1 per lb.
NUTMEGS.—There is little business doing in this
article privately, and only two cases sound have been
sold by public auction, viz. one case fair rathe small
Singapore brown Nuts at 4s 6d, and one case inferior
ditto at 3s 9d per lb.

PEPPER.—There are still only partial inquiries
after Sumatra, but the holders remain firm, and few
parcels are on offer-3d continues to be paid for com-
mon sbipping quality ; 357 bags ordinary at public sale
sold at 3d per lb. Malabar is dull of sale, but not
lower ; of 1,398 bags offered at public sale, a few lots
only were sold atind to .Ik, the remainder was bought
in at the latter price. White goes off steadily at pre-
vious rates-45 bags good ordinary brownish much
mixed were sold in public sale at .51d to 6d, one lot at 6i
per lb.

CINNAMON—The quarterly public sales of this article
took place yesterday, they went off with extreme heavi-
ness, and buyers could with difficulty be found even at
reduced prices.

As contrasted with the last sales, these prices are par
to 3d lower for Ist sort, 2d to 4d per lb lower for second
and third sort, and about 3d to 6d per lb. lower for
broken and pieces.

CASSIA LIGHEA.—FuII prices continue to be paid for
this article, and the demand is good ; 200 chests offered
by public auction found buyers, good thin quill at 100 s,
fair middling at 93s 6d, and coarse at 86s Gd per cwt.
GINGER.—There is still very little inquiry for East
India, and prices are yet much depressed ; 601 bags
Malabar were offered at public sale, when good clean
scraped sold at 22s Gd to 255, wormy ditto at 18s, mid
and good mid small of the usual import at Ils 6d to 14s,
and inferior rather wormy at 8s to 10s, two single bag
lots of fine like West India sold at 41s and 45s per cwt.
TALLOW.—The recent failures in this trade have
created very great distrust, and left the market in as
dull a state as can be imagined ; business is carried on
in the most cautious manner, and the buyers take barely
sufficient to cover their necessities.

The few transactions during the week have been at
about 46s 9d to 47s on the spot, and for delivery up to
the eud of the year there are sellers at 46s 6d per cwt.
There are few inquiries for spring delivery, and the price
asked, viz., 47s Gd per cwt., is considered, as quite no-
minal.

At public sale on Friday 215 pipes, S hhds, 3 brls,
South American were sold at 38s to 46s 6d ; 263
casks St. Petersburgh Tallow were also sold, first qua-
lity Siberia Soap at 46s 3d, and second quality Yellow
Candle at 46s 9d to 47s per cwt.
The market remain dull, and prices have a downward
tendency. P.Y.C. was sold to-day at 46s 9d to 49s on
the the spot.
OILS.—The firmness that existed in the market for
common Fish Oils is maintained, and holders generally
demand higher prices, with a good demand, and upon
the whole a large qusiness has been done, but without
any apparent activity. Pale Seal has brought 371., and
Southern Whale, of fine quality, 341. to 34/. los., with
now few sellers thereat. Sperm Oil is in fair demand,
at former prices. Linseed Oil is becoming very scarce,
and the article being much wanted, the price on the
spot has advanced to 355, at which a a good business
has been done, and for further delivery 36s in the price
demanded. Rape and Olive Oils very scarce and prices
looking up.

Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and some of the other
Cabinet Ministers were, busily engaged at the Iloine-
offiFe yesterday until past eight o'clock in the evening.
This morning the same activity prevails at the home-office
and the Treasury. At the former Mr. Hall, the Magis-
trate of Bow-street, and Mr. 'Burnaby, chief clerk,
have been in attendance a great part of the morning. It
is
generally
stated that the inquiry going forward relates
to the Irregularity in issuing Exchequer Bills, but in the
present stage of course nothing is allowed to transpire.
A considerable number of gentlemen from the City visit-
ed the Treasury during the morning.

WOOLWICH-SATURDAY.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.
The Master-General, Sir George Murray, G.C.B.
and G.C.H., since his appointment as Colonel of the
Royal Regiment of Artillery, has secured the affection
and unqualified approbation of the officers of the corps
by the impartial and considerate manner in which he has
bestowed his patronage as a regard for meritorious ser-
vices. When it was made known to the friends of Sir
John May that he intended to retire from active life
after the long period of 46 years' service in the Royal
Artillery, and not in the Royal Engineers, as was inad-
vertently stated, an officer possessing the greatest influ-
ence and excellent testimonials, and nearly related to one
of the members of the present Government, waited
upon Sir George Murray with all these recommenda-
tions to solicit the office of Inspector of the Royal Car-
riage Department in the Arsenal at Woolwich. The
reply of the Master-General deserves the highest com-
mendation, as he observed to the applicant, " In the
event of Sir John May retiring from the office of Inspec-
tor of the Royal Carriage Department, there is a worthy
and meritorious officer, Colonel Lacy, now at Wool-
wich, and he shall have the appointment." In the course
of a few days afterwards, when Sir John May tendered
his resignation, it was with equal surprise and pleasure
that Colonel Lacy received a notification that he had
been selected to fill the office, which he never antici-
pated, as he had made no application. Sir John May
was present at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, and his deco-
rations are a medal and three clasps.

ORDNANCE CORPS AND REGIMENTS IN
CANADA.
The following concise account of the distribution of
the Ordnance corps and the regiments of her Britannic
Majesty at present serving in Canada will be perused
with interest, and prove valuable for reference during
the continued unsettled state of our relations with the
United States of America. The information may be re-
lied upon as correct, having been made up and trans-
mitted from North America on the 27th of September:—

FATAL EFFECTS OF QUACK MEDICINES...—.I
have in the previous part of this chapter, hazarded a con-
jecture as to the annual amount of mortality in England,
which may fairly be ascribed to the agency of medical
empiricism. That it must be great, may safely enough
be inferred from the fact that Government derive a
yearly revenue from the sale of quack medicines of be-
tween 50,000/. and 60,0001. The sources of this revenue
are the stamps, the duty on advertisements, licenses,
patents, and the duty on the paper employed for wrap-
ping up the medicine. Such a quantity of deleterious
medicine cannot be taken without producing disastrous
results. Dr. Thornton made a calculation that some
years ago several thousand children were annually
killed by a quack medicine advertised as " Cakes for
' the Cure of Worms.'—Lights and Shadows of London

UNION OF CHARTISTS AND CORN-LAW
REPEALERS.-It is gratifying to observe, thanks to the
able and conciliatory addresses of Colonel Thompson, !
that the Chartists, without abandoning their principles,
are disposed to make common cause with the Corn-law
repealers. At a meeting held at Carpenters' Hall, on
Monday evening, which was attended by two thousand
persons, Mr. Vincent moved a resolution that the Peo-
ple's Charter was sufficient for the removal of every
abuse, and that the agitation for pbtaining it ought to
be persevered in. A discussion afose in which the ab-
surdity of opposing the Anti-Corn-law movement was
forcibly exposed, and the result was, that the following
resolution was passed unanimously :—" That in the
opinion of this meeting the Charter is just in principle
and ought to be contended for ; and that the Corn-laws
are unjust in principle, oppressive in their operations, and
ought to be repealed."—Manchester Times.

BRENTFORD PETTY SESSIONS.
Yesterday Thomas Bulpit, a man of remarkably un-
prepossessing appearance, who, since the 28th of August
last, has been several times remanded on a charge of
cutting and wounding with intent to kill Mr. James
Peto, about twenty-three years of age, the son of an
opulent farmer at Sutton, in the parish of Heston, near
Hounslow, was brought up for final examination on the
charge.
From the minutes of the previous proceedings, it ap-
peared that on the 18th of September, a medical certi-
ficate being laid before the Bench to the effect that Mr.
Peto was apparently in a dying state, Mr. Baillie, the
Chairman of the Bench, proceeded to that gentleman's
house, and took the following deposition :
" The said James Peto on his oath saith as follows:—
On the last Friday in August I was out in the fields.
The prisoner, Thomas Bulpit, had done his work con-
trary to my wish. I told him he must alter the sheaves
before I, paid him. He told me if anything wanted
doing I might do it myself, for he would not. I told
him I should not think of paying him until he had al-
tered the sheaves. I then left him. In the evening,
when I had returned home from the farm, not having
seen the work, the prisoner came to me again, and I
told him I should not pay him until I had seen the
sheaves altered. He told me he would not leave without
being paid first. I then closed the door, and he rapped
at it violently, upon which I went out the second time
and told the prisoner if he came down in the morning
I would pay him if he had done his work pro-
perly. I then reasoned with his mate, who said
he was satisfied, and was about leaving the court,
when the prisoner said, why should you be afraid of
such a b—y fool as that ?' I followed him to the
gate, when he told me he would split my b—y
skull, and swung a large hoe round over my head ; at
which time I then went to him to take the hoe from him,
when Mr. De Carle drew the hoe from his hand, after
which time the prisoner struck me with the reaping-
hook he bad in his left hand, and then we both fell to•
gether. While we were lying on the road, I told him to
get up, but he would not. On my rising, I found my leg
had been cat very severely. I felt the blow before I fell,
but I did not know of what nature it was. I then felt
my leg very much benumbed, and I said to the prisoner,
' You villain, you have cut my leg;' to, which he replied;
' Oh, it's only mud.' The prisoner then ran away. and
I was taken in a chaise, by Mr. De Carle, to Mr. Frog-
ley,' a surgeon at Hounslow ; and on the way, meeting
Hall, a policeman, told him. I told him to take the
prisoner into custody. I have no doubt, the least in
the world, that he struck me the blow with the hook
• purposely. " JAMES PETO.
" Sworn
.before me this 18th day of September, 1841.
, G. BAILLIE." ,

Mr. E. De Carle and James Kent, and Reuben Hall,
policeman, gave evidence corroborative of the above de-
position.
Mr. Frogley, surgeon, described the nature of the in-
juries suffered by Mr. Peto, which were of a very serious
and alarming character. He could not name a period
when Mr. Peto might be able to attend, and he enter-
tained very great doubt whether Mr. Peto would ever be
able to attend.

The BENCH said, in the absence of Mr. Peto, they did
not see how they could commit the prisoner for trial,
although they were very reluctant to again remand him.
lie was then fully committed to Newgate for trial, and
the witnesses bound over to prosecute.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A cabman, named John Fisher, was charged with hav-
ing stolen a sovereign.
A bricklayer, engaged upon one of tho railroads, stated
that he employed the prisoner to drive him to the City
from a distant part of the town, and that upon getting
out of the cab he was accused by the prisoner of an
intention to bilk his fare. Witness was just going to
pay the amount, when he heard the accusation, and after
re-plying indignantly, three sovereigns, which he kept
for the greater security in his mouth, fell upon the pave-
ment. He immediately picked up two of them, and he
saw the prisoner stoop and pick up something (but what
it was he could not then discern), and then go away.
Witness was tipsy at the time.
The prisoner was seen by another person to pick up
the sovereign, and ran away saying that he had his fare.
A policeman stated that he took the prisoner to the
station-house, and suspecting that the man had the miss-
ing sovereign in his mouth, seized him by the throat and
gave him a squeeze, which had the desired effect of mak-
ing the gold appear in an instant upon the floor.
The prisoner, who it was said, was a respectable lad,
declared that he had no defence to make, but that he la-
mented very much the occurrence, and was remanded.
A young man, named George Hawkins, was charged
with felony, under the following circumstances.
A policeman stated that he took the prisoner into cus-
tody in Mark-lane, having seen him in a waggon there,
to all appearance doing something wrong. Tic prisoner
was pointed out to him by a person who had been ob-
serving the waggon for some time, and a box broken open
was found close to him.
John Cotes stated, that as he was going along Mark-
lane, he saw the prisoner in the waggon stooping down
as if drink something, and suspected that all was not
right. The prisoner seemed to him to be broaching a cask.
Baker, a man in the employment of Messrs. Chaplin
and Horne, carriers, stated, that as he and another man
in the same employment, were proceeding to town from
Camden-town with the waggon, they met the prisoner,
who agreed to assist them, at the request of witness's
follow-servant, in rolling off the, bales of goods. At
Mark-lane, witness left the waggon to go fur sonic ship-
ping orders, leaving his comrade and the prisoner with
the waggon, and upon his return he found every thing in
the custody of the policeman.
W. Mitchell, waggon-man to the prosecutor, stated
that in consequence of illness he had requested the pri-
soner whom he had seen before, and believed to be an
honest man, for he looked honest, to lend a hand. When
they got to Mark-lane, Baker went tier the shipping
orders, and witness, feeling very ill in the bowels, was
obliged to leave the waggon in the care of the prisoner.
The policeman produced a large gimlet which he found
in the prisoner's inside waistcoat pocket, and with which,
he had no doubt, the prisoner had forced out six nails
with which the cover of the box had been fastened.
There were some parcels of buttons in the box, and some
under the prisoner in the waggon.
A clerk of Messrs. Chaplin and Home stated that his
employers were constantly obliged to pay for parcels
which were stolen from their waggons, no doubt by fel-
lows employed by their own men to assist in the manner
described. The men were under orders not on any ac-
count to leave the waggon. It was but the other day
that Messrs. Chaplin and Home were obliged to pay 51.
for a parcel which had been, as was supposed, securely
packed.
Mr. Nobler, jun., appeared for the prisoner, who was
then remanded for further examination.
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday a very respectable-looking young person,
named Henry Mason, was placed at the bar before the
sitting Alderman on the charge of embezzling large
sums of money belonging to the City of London Gas
Company, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street.
The investigation into the case had been entered upon
some time. since, in which it appeared that the prisoner
had been in the Company's employment as clerk, and in
that capacity large sums of money passed through his
hands on their account. When he was first employed
he had procured two securities in the amount of 1,0001.,
and the defalcations since discovered in his accounts were
considered to amount to a much larger sum ; but of this
fact no decided statement could be made, as his accounts
had not as yet been closed.
Mr. Humphreys, who appeared for the prisoner, said
his client was most anxious to afford every facility in his
power to balance the accounts. He applied to have the
further hearing of the case postponed.
Mr. Tyrrell, who appeared on behalf of the Company,
said it was his wish to allow the prisoner every fair
means of defending himself. The Company entertained
no hostile feeling towards him, but they felt bound for
their own protection to prosecute in this case to prevent
a repetition of such conduct. He should not object to
the postponement.
After some further consultation between the solicitors,
the prisoner was ordered to be brought up again on this
clay fortnight.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE PICCADILLY SALOON.-Mr. Beale, the proprietor
of the Saloon in Piccadilly, was summoned by the police
for " knowingly" permitting prostitutes to congregate at
his house.

The case was proved by Inspector Jarvis and police
Sergeant Whall. They went into the saloon at night,
and saw 20 or 30 women of loose character eating and
drinking in the saloon. Some were alone, and others
were with male companions.
Mr. Wontner, who attended for the defence, asked the
police how they proved that the women they saw in the
saloon were common prostitutes ?
The inspector answered that he could swear to having
seen many of the women soliciting gentlemen in the
public streets; in fact, that they regularly walked in the
Quadrant at night. The men and women in the saloon
were not conducting themselves in a disorderly manner,
nor was there any appearance of drunkenness.
Mr. Wontner said a summons had been decided before
Mr. Long exactly similar in principle to the case before
the Court. It had been held that the mere circumstance
of women of the town entering a house for refreshment
did not come within the meaning of" knowingly" har-
bouring improper characters. The occupation of these
sort of women was sufficiently bad he admitted, but then
they must sup as well as other people. Besides, it had
not been satisfactorily proved that the women there were
the loose characters described. •
Mr. HARDWICK said it was useless to raise a clues-
! doe on a matter that there could be no more doubt of
than that St. Paul's was St. Paul's Ile wished to have
the case put upon a broader basis than a mere technical
objection or quibble.
Mr. Wontner replied, he would then take his stand on
the ground that no offence had been committed. There
" Silverthorne v. the Worship-street
was a case in point,
Magistrates," which was tried on appeal at the Middlesex
Sessions, and the Magistrates judgment reversed. if
three or four, or a dozen women of the town went into
a public-house to obtain refreshment, that was not know-
ingly harbouring bad characters, as had been over and
over again decided.
Inspector Beresford said, if a publican allowed prosti-
tutes to congregate in his house in large numbers, he
would be liable to a fine, and though the defendant was
not a licensed victualler, yet his house was liable to the
same rules and regulations as public-houses.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, said there was no
penalty on publicans for serving prostitutes ; on the con-
trary they had a right to serve them. It had further
been held at the sessions that common prostitutes were.
not to be considered as " noteniously " bad characters.
Mr. HARDWICK thought that the Legislature did not
intend to prohibit women of immoral character from
entering houses of public resort for the purpose of ob-
taining refreshment. A penalty was only to be imposed
in cases where disorderly conduct was allowed, and

where drunkenness was permitted. The evidence 01 'Pr
police went to negative the inference of drunk must
disorderly conduct, and, therefore, the summous mu De
dismissed.
Mr. Ilinnwzcx, addressing the Inspector,
thought the police ought to confine themselves to eal.
in which they could prove drunkenness or disorderly con
duct against the frequenters of the saloon• said be
