MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Frice Current of Sept. 17.)
SUGAR.--Today importers of Raw Sugar were not
inclined to submit to any further reduction in the value,
but all parties were cautious in their proceedings. Of
\Vest India Muscovado the quantity sold in the private
market was c3O hhds and trcs, but former rates were
supported for nearly all kinds. A public sale of 109
hhds Barbadoes sold at 45 to 45s Gd for fine yellow,
42s 5d for good middling and good, and at 40s to 42s
for middling, which are steady rates. The total sales
for the week are 2,040 hhds and trcs.
RFINED.—To-day Refined Goods met with little at-
tention from the home trade, and there are sellers upon
former reduced terms. For Bonded Crushed Sugar 303
Gd to 31s 6d accepted for fine.
MARITHIS.—At a public sale of 3,876 bags and 37
casks of Mauritius, former rates are supported, and the
whole sold. _ _ _

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 3,158 bags; the
chief part sold, and at full rates.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 996 bkts
Java were all withdrawn. 50 hhds and 230 barrels
Porto Rico chiefly sold at steady prices. The private

sales for the week are a cargo of white Havannah at 30s ►
for exiaortation ; 500 chests yellow Havannah on the
spot at 25s for fine, and 1,000 bags low white China at
21s 6d ; 150 hhds St. Eustatius 38; 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—To-day there was not much desire shown
to operate in Ceylon Coffee, and at the public sa.es of
1,457 bags, prices further declined 6d for Native, but
Plantation fetched full rates—good ordinary Native
sold at 35s 6d, real good ordinary 26; 6d, pea berry
40; to 435, damaged 335, Plantation good coloury
62s 6d, middling 53s 6d to 595, low middling 50s to
52s 6d, fine and fine fine ordinary 45s 6d to 49s 6d,
ordinary and good ordinary 42s to 445, triage 33s to
37s 6d, and damaged 27s to 41; 6d. Mocha met with
little attention, and 339 bales were only in part sold at'
about former rates—middling yellow 59s to 61s, da-
maged 32; to 355, triage 35s 6d to 505, and low ditto
16s per cwt.
TEA.—There is not so much desire shown on the part
of holders of the better description of Congou to realise
this week, but the amount of business concluded has
been to a moderate extent only; still the supply
is less plentiful. For the lower qualities there
is, however, a good demand, and full rates are
obtained, as merchants offer but a moderate quantity
for sale. Pouchong sells steadily at 5d to 9d for low to
good. Souchong is little required. Fine Green Tea is
dull of sale, and price; tend downwards, as there is an
increasing supply, but low and middling sorts continue
in good demand owing to the low rates that prevail.
Scented Teas are in moderate demand low as prices are.
The value of Caper is 8d to is 6d per lb. None has
been submitted to public competition since this day
week, whilst the arrivals during that period were of
little moment, but the quantity taken for home con-
sumption was large, whilst the deliveries for exportation
were to a fair extent.
Corron.—There has been a decrease in the demand
for East India this week, whilst holders have been more
inclined to realise, and the limited business transacted by
private treaty_was upon rather lower terms. The public
sales yesterday of 1959 bales of Surat went off with
heaviness, and only 800 bales were actually sold at prices
showing a fall on those of this day week of id per lb.
SPIRITS.—For Jamaica Rum holders succeeded in
getting nearly former rates for all sorts, as the supply is
small, but there has been only a limited demand this
week from exporters or the home trade. The total
sales are 200 puns of Jamaica. Leeward Island is still
dull of sale, and 2s 3d is nearest value of proof. East
India is little required, and can be obtained at is lld

to 2s for proof with certificate. :For Demerara full
rates are generally obtained, but the sale aro only 130
puns at 3s to 3s 2d for 27 to 30 30 per cent over proof of
fair and middling quality, and 3s 4d to 3s 6d for good
and fine 31 to 38 per cent over proof. Of Havannah
Rum there are further arrivals, but the chief part is
being vatted for the purpose of shipment to Greece
and Italy, on account of the importers. The value
of proof is is Bd.. In Brandy of any kind
there has been little passing, and prices remain as pre-
viously, at which there are tree sellers. Geneva is little
wanted, still shipping sorts are to be obtained at 2s Bd,
and fine for home consumption at 3s 3d to 3s 6d per
gallon. For British Corn Spirits and Gin prices are the
same as last week, but with a quiet market.
SPICES.—For black Pepper of all kinds the demand
has been more active. At auction 1,106 bags of Malabar
went at 3d for good heavy brown, 24d to 2id for good
light, and at 2d to 2d for sea damaged. Privately
sales to a fair extent have been concluded. White is
held with more firmness, and none offered at auction:
privately several sales have been made at 34d to 5d for
common to fine. For Nutmegs previous rates are asked,
but exporters as well as the home trade are less inclined
to do business, and 12 pkgs at auction were taken in.
Mace has been sought after, but the supply is small, and
prices are firm. For Cinnamon there are few purchasers;
sales can be made upon terms of last quarterly auctions
whilst there is a fair supply of all kinds. For the better
qualities of Cloves there are not many buyers, but other
sorts are wanted, and of such the supply is small.
Cassia Lignea is still in short supply, and all kinds being
wanted, prices continue on the advance.
RlCE.—There has been a deerease in the demand for
all descriptions of East India this week, whilst importers
have been more inclined to realize, and plentifully sup-
plying the market produced a decline in prices of 3d to
6d per cwt. Of the parcels offered at public sale,
amounting to 12,247 bags, not about half found buyers.
Privately exporters and the home trade have operated
with caution, and on the part of speculators little desire
has been manifested to buy. Patna has been in excel-
lent demand. For Arrowroot there is rather more de-
mand, but prices do not improve.
COCHINEAL is still only in limited demand, and the

market continuing to be liberaLy supplied, prices have
suffered a further depression of ld per lb; indeed the
quantity brought to market is still exceeding the wants
of exporters and the home trade. At auction 291 bgs
Honduras were disposed of.
Ons.—Although there are further arrivals of Fish
Oils, still holders have shown firmness this week, and
refrained from offering any at public sale, but there is
no improvement to notice in the demand from exporters
or the home trade, and a fair quantity is held by Im-
porters. For Cod the rates insisted upon are 271 5s to
to 27! 10s, but there are few buyers to be met with ;
the marl, et will be be better able to sell shortly. On
the past of importers of Seal there is little desire to sell.
Purchases made in all sorts of Southern have been of
little moment, although low and middling quality can be
obtained at 241 to 251, and good to fine 251 10s to 261105.
In Sperm a good business has been concluded. Linseed
Oil is little wanted by exporters or the home trade, and as
the supply continues increasing prices are on the decline.
For forward delivery there are sellers at 26s to 26s 3d,
but few buyers are to be met with. The supply is on
the increase, and is likely so to continue, as
prices are much above those of the past season and are
highly remunerating to the crushers. Rapeseed Oil
is not much required. For Cocoa Nut prices rule high'
as the supply is small, whilst the trade are much is
want of the article. Palm and Olive have been in ex-
cellent request. Lard Oil is dull.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
HAMMERSMITH.

Yesterday Christopher Charles Thurston, a well-
dressed man, who was formerly a conductor in the
service of the Hammersmith Conveyance Company,
was placed at the bar before Mr. W. F. Beadon, the
sitting magistrate, for further examination on a charge
of having been concerned with others, not in custody,
in stealing, on the 3d inst., from the premises of Mr.
William Redkison, the Sussex Arms Tavern, tßroad-
way, Hammersmith, Bank of England notes to the
value of 1001., and a cheque on the banking-house of
Messrs. Drowett and Fowler for 12/. 3s. Bd.

The prisoner was first examined on Thursday, the
9th inst., when Joseph Gardiner, of No. 11, Ely-
street, Pearson-street, Kingsland-road, deposed that
he was a porter, working occasionally at Birch's, the
confectioner on Cornhill. The: prisoner resembled a
man who, on Friday, the 3d inst., about half-past
two o'clock in the afternoon, came to witness on
Cornhill and asked if he was a porter, to which he re-
plied in the affirmative. He then asked if witness
knew the banking-house of Messrs. Drewett and
Fowler, and what his charge would be to go there
with a cheque. Witness told him that he knew the
banking-house, and his charge would be 63., when the
prisoner gave him a cheque for 121. 3s. 8 1., and told
him to go to the banking-house and get it cashed,
saying he had to be at the Cross Keys Inn, in Alders-
gate-street, at half-past two o'clock, and that witness
was to bring the money to him there. Witness told
the prisoner that it only wanted a minute to half-past
two o'clock, and then went with the cheque to Messrs.
Drewett and Fowler's bank, in Prince's-street, City,
where it was stopped, and witness was detained. Had
not seen the priso❑er since that day until he then saw
him in custody. To the best of his belief the prisoner
was the same man. The prisoner had not, however,
the same coat on that he had that day.
The prisoner said it was the same coat he had on
at the time.

iiI.BEADON said, after that admission he should
remand the prisoner.
Yesterday the court was crowded by the inhabi-
tants of the neighbourhood, anxious to witness the
proceedings.
Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, appeared for the prisoner.

The following additional evidence was produced :
Francis Neville, of No. 35, Exeter-street, Lisson-
grove, deposed that,he was a cab driver, badge No.
8,642. On the afternoon of Friday, the 3d inst.,
about five minutes past two o'clock, witness was
standing feeding his horse in Lombard-street, near
the corner of Birehin-lane, when he saw the old porter
whom he saw in court that day, and a man gave him
something into his hand, and he heard him tell the
porter to ask for the name of Roberts. About half an
hour or three-quarters afterwards witness was by the
Mansion. house, and again saw the porter with a gen-
tleman. Both got into witness's cab, but he had no
conversation with them until after they had got to
Hammersmith. While standing outside the Sussex
Arms witness told the ostler what he had seen, who
then told him there had been a robbery committed at
the house that day. Witness was then called in and
questioned as to the description of the man whom he
saw give something to the porter, when he said that
was a stout man, and wore an old velveteen coat or
jacket much worn, and a hat very much worn. Could
not identify the prisoner as the man. Thought the
man was stouter than the prisoner. The prisoner's
hat was like that worn by the man.
Inspector Morgan, T division, informed the magis-
trate that lie should be able to prove, by persons who
were present when he made his first statement, that
he had omitted a very important portion of it.
Charlotte Skinner deposed that she was barmaid at
the Sussex Arms Tarvern. The prisoner had been
in the almost daily habit of frequenting that.house for
the last two years. On the evening before the rob-
bery the prisoner was sitting in front of the bar when
Mrs. Redkison came down stairs into the bar, with
the cash-box in her hand. The prisoner looked at
Mrs. Redkison, and in -a few minutes after wards left
the house. The next morning he returned to the
house about half-past nine o'clock, and sat in front
of the bar. He was sitting in the same place when
the two other men suspected of the robbery came in
and went up stairs, about eleven [o'clock, and also
when they came down and went out, about ten mi-
nutes past twelve o'clock ; and he left about eight or
ten minutes after them, and never came again to the
house until the morning of Thursday, the 9th inst.,
when he was given into custody. The robbery was
committed on Friday, the 3d. inst.
Sergeant Mount, 1 29, deposed that, from informs-

tion he was in possession of he had reason to believe
he should at the next examination have important
evidence to produce which would affect the prisoner
most materially if he was again remanded.
Mr. Wontner objected to any further remandi on
the ground that sufficient time had been already given
the police to produce evidence against the prisoner of
the nature described, if they had any to bring for-
ward ; or that, at any rate, the prisoner would be
admitted to bail, he having come forward by.going
to the house and courting inquiry. The prowler,
on seeing the landlord, asked him for an explanation
of certain words he had uttered about him, and
waited while a policeman was sent for. He had not
evaded justice.
Mr. Redkison, in answer to questions put to him
said, when the prisoner came to the house on the 9th
instant, he asked him (Mr. Redkison) if he had or
tning to say about him. He told the prisoner that
he had nothing to say to him,' but if he went to the
police-station they had something to say to him. The
prisoner wanted him to serve him with some gin, but
he refused to do so.
Mr. BEADON said the prisoner had evidently acted.
like a man who, believing that no evidence agauins'
him had been obtained, was trying to brave it °,t"
A
He should remand the prisoner for a week, and cm__"
not, after the evidence which bad been gone into,
take bail for his appearance.
The prisoner was accordingly again remanded.
WANDS WORTH.
Yesterday Mr. John Henry Spicer, a paper many
facturer, carrying on business in Garratt-lecei
Wandsworth, summonedwa to this court to answer,
an information laid by order of the Commissioners
Excise, charging him with having manufacture?
76,7401 b. weight -of paper, the duty payable on s'hieß,
amounted to 503/. 12s. lid., and which sum not ha
;
ing been paid upon demand, it was now sought the
amount the sum of 1,0071. 4s. 3d., being double t°
amount of duty.
The defendant having been called, and ailed tu
answer to his name, the Excise proceeded to
prove
the case in his absence.
Richard Lawrence, an officer of Excise, said de-
served served a copy of the summons produced on the cic;
feridant's, foreman, at his papeemill, the
the previous morning at ten o'clock; it roe
clock that
