Pkoj '-aSt Week the arrivals of all articles of home
„earriiip 'Qr our market, coastwise as well as by land-
of 44d sample, were on a very limited scale. From
but fro- ttnd Scotland scarcely any grain came to hand,
ee whek.abroad we received upwards of 44,000 quarters

posed, and by no means a wickedly inclined young man,
notwithstanding all he had done. She recollecten that
he was found guilty of sending a packet of oxalic acid
to a young woman, and that there were two other
charges against him, in one of which Miss Spriggs was
a party, but it was not tried. He was in the habit of
reading novels.
Mr. BRIERY.—He was in the habit of reading stories
about young ladies being carried off by young men into
caverns.—(Laugh ter.)
The RECORDER.—ReaIIy we cannot have the contents
of the hooks read.—(Laughter).
The RRCORDER summed up, and explained the
law. It was for them to say whether the prisoner
sent the letter with a malicious intention or not. They
would recollect that no issue of insanity was set up.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty. -
The former conviction was proved.
Mr. Chanceller stood forward to recommend the pH.
soner to the mercy of the Court.
The RECORDER—On what ground ?
Mrs. Chancellor replied, ou the ground that the pri-
soner was nearly the sole support of his widowed
mother ; and because his father had been killed on the
railway.
The RECORDER in an appropriate address, sentenced
the prism-er to twelve months' hard labour in the House
of Correction, and to be once publicly whipped—" To
show," said the Learned Recorder, " the sort of person
you are. That is the end of the notoriety which you
have sought—contempt and ridicule ! The contempt
and ridicule of your neighbours ; for you will be pub-
licly, disgracefully, flogged like a felon."
The prisoner was removed shedding repentant tears.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Michael Doring, described on the charge sheet as a
printer, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with
robbing his furnished lodgings.
Mary Ellen Langluis stated that she resided with her
mother, at No. 25, Cumberland-street. The prisoner
and a female, who passed as his wife, occupied a fur-
nished room in their house. On Saturday night last
witness missed a dress from an adjoining room to that
occupied by the prisoner, and having her suspicions
that he had taken it, she gave him into custody. Whilst
the prisoner and the female were at the station, com-
plainant's mother entered the prisoner's room, and
found the bed stripped of every article of covering.
Subsequently the prisoner returned from the station,
when on being taxed with the robbery, he immediately
admitted it, and said if they would forgive him he
would restore all the property. She made no reply to
his request, but gave him into custody.
Police-constable 149 E, said he took the prisoner into
custody about ten o'clock on Saturday night. On
searching the room he occupied in complainant's house,
he found a number of duplicates, relating to varit us
articles of bed clothing pledged at different pawnbrok. rs,
some in the name of the prisoner, and others in the
name of the female whom he was living with.
The prisoner, who did not neny the charge, was
remanded.

THE SUN, LON'D►ON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1847.

has been found almost impracticable to assemble a
jury of twelve, and it is now proposed to legalise a
jury of three. This measure, if carried out, will be
a bold but justifiable innovation on time•honoured
prejudices.
" A notification has appeared in the Gazette an-
ouncing that henceforth imported salt may be bonded
in private warehouses licensed by the controlling
Board.

The state of commercial matters is anything but
cheering. With the exception of rice, which is in
great demand, all heavy articles of export are entirely
out of demand, partly in consequence of the unfavour-
able news brought by the mail of the 7th cf May,
and partly from the exorbitant rate of freights which
are quoted at 101. per ton. The mcney market is still
excessively tight. Exchange is quoted at 2s. Oid. to
2s. Oid. for ten months' bills.
" The abundance of rain during the past month
has not been favourable to the Indigo crop, which
cannot now be expected to rise above the average,
unless, indeed, fine weather in this month should im-
prove its chances.
" The weather in Calcutta has been seasonable and
pleasant, frequent and sometimes very heavy showers,
with a moderate temperature. The fall of rain regis-
tered during the past month was 12.01 inches. At
Bombay there fell in one day, the 12th ult., not less
than 13i inches I
" The English mail of the 7th of May came in on
the lath inst. ; that of the 24th may be looked for
immediately."

4,500 maunds or 5,000 maunds finding its way to the
English markets, which will be a very short supply
compared with that of the two past years, which were
for seasons 1845-1846, 19,100 maunds, and 1846-1847,
15,227 maunds. _

Oil Seeds—We have not heard of a single purchase
having been made in any description of goods under this
head for the English market, the continued high ruline:
of freights having apparently acted as a complete check
to operations. The Americans and French have been in
the market, and both linseed and mustard seed have
maintained their price, and for the former a slight ad-
vance is being paid for superior cleaned lots.
Hides—Transactions in this staple have, during the
past month, been almost. suspended for the British mar
ket, and prices of such descriptions as are adapted for
that market may be considered as merely nominal. Some
of the shipments gone forts ard on account of natives are
said to contain very inferior quality of hides, which, it is
feared, will not repay the sums advanced. The Ameri-
cans in the early part of the month made several pur
chases of cow hides, but have lately confined themselves
to buffalo hides. For France very little has been bought.
The stock here is now very large, and will be further in-
creased by the large quantities now on their way from
the provinces.
Opium—The public sale of opium, which took place ou
the lith ultimo, exhibits the following result :
Chests. highest. Lowest. Average. Proceeds.
Patna 1,690 1.315 1,290 1,300 12 6 21,95.325
Benares 715 1,260 1,250 1,253 6 9 8,96.200
Since the above sale prices have a little rallied, and we
now quote Patna opium 1,290 rs., Benares, 1,245.

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
British Cotton Piece Goods.—We have again to report
a quiet market for nearly all descriptions of goods under
this head, the sales of the month being principally con-
fined to the demand for local consumption, the demand
for the upcountry marts generally felt at this season of
the year not having yet taken place, the greater amount
of sales reported have been in low gray shirtings,
which continue inquired after, being light in stock ;
the better sorts can only be passed off by impor-
ters submitting to a - decline on the low prices
ruling previously, which in some instances has been
done, and considerable parcels have found buyers.
The lower descriptions of bleached shiitings have
also been sold to some extent, but the finer
sorts cannot be placed except at a considerable sacrifice.
Grey MadapallanF of low qualitie tire saleable, but b, tier
sorts are neglected; whites are also difficult of sale. Low
grey jaconets have met with a ready sale, in some in-
stances a slight advance on former rates, but in these, as
in nearly all cloth, the finer sorts have been neglected,
and are difficult of sale unless at a sacrifice ; there is a
slight inquiry for the finer threads of bleached, the
stuck of which sort is light.
Cokured and Printed Goods—There continues to be
a slight demand experienced for thes•• goods, hut the

submitted tc. Turkey red cloths, both plain aid printed,
meet with a ready sale at remunerating rates.
Woollens—Our market for these goods has been un•
usually dull at this season of the year, which is gene-
rally looked on as the briskest, and sales can only be
effected by importers submitting to a discount of 15 to
25 per cent. on invoice.
Mule Twist—Holders having shown more disposition
to reduce their stocks by submitting to a slight decline
on former rates, sales to a considet able extent have been
made, consisting principally of No. 40.
Coloured Yarn—There has been a slight improvement
in the demand for German dye Turkey red, which has
been placed to some extent at Ir. Ba. per lb. Sales are
also reported of English dye at Ir. 4a. per lb., but the
latter is in moderate demand. In other colours we have
not heard of any transactions.
Beer—A large sale et Allsopp's brand has taken place
at 7Ors. per hhd., which figure importers were induced
to accept on account of the extent of the purchase, say
1,500 hhds.; since which, however, they have shown no
anxiety to sell, and prices may be quoted at 80rs. per
hhd. In Bass's, considerable sales were made at 85rs.,
but in order to close a shipment 80rs. was accepted for a
small parcel on hand.
Metals—We have little, if any, improvement to notice
in the position of our market for metals, it being still
seriously affected by the continued pressure on our money
market, and the difficulty the bazaar merchants expe•
rience in disposing of their sugars. Copper has been
placed to a moderate extent; sheathing may be quoted at

per md. In speller we have heard of but few transac-
tions, holders being firm, owing to the lightness of
stocks; some small sales are, however, reported at Ct. Rs.
10 3 per md. Iron has been in rather better inquiry,
sales of flat, bar, and bolt having been made at Rs. 3-8
per red., and sheet has been sold to arrive at Rs. 6-2;
hoop may be quoted at 5-14 to 6, at which figure it is
readily saleable, stocks of this kind being light.
Salt—Government, by a public notification, announced
the new modifications in the rules for bonding salt. A
portion of the Government Golahs on the opposite side
of the river will be available at a fixed rent for bonding
imported salt, but parties desirous of bonding it in pri-
vate warehouses will be permitted to do so upon a fa-
vourable report of the collector of customs and the
is to' be 4..,vie Salt Board. The rate of wastage allowed
the ship's side, but the impoit duty "4111—t3 'NitieB`N:
the quantity so delivered. All expenses attendant on
receipt, storage, custody, and delivery at warehouses
so licensed, are to be defrayed by parties bonding.
The total bonding rules of the 28th of September, 1841,
will continue to govern the practice in all cases in which
the new warehouses are not concerned, or where license
is not granted. We trust that these facilities afforded
by Government will give a new impulse to the impor
tation of salt from England, though under present cir-
cumstances the advantage now gained seem. more ima
Binary than practical.
Exchange—The fluctations which have prevailed in
the rates of Exchange since our la-t report, have bt en
checked by the falling off in the remittances from home
and the impossibility of shipping predate to Europe
for want of available tornage. Buyers have, therefore,
been forced into the market, and the bulk of the trans-
actions for the present mail may be qu,,ted at 2s. per
rupee for six months, sight drafts ; amid from 2,. Off.
to 2s. Oid. for 10 months, date bills. Although we
have heard of some ; urchasea having been made of un-
exceptionable bills on much better terms, yet these
solitary transactions do not come within the scope of
he prevailing and current rates

stagnation in business generally. Our London advices
to the 7th of May were not calculated to mend matters,
for whilst commercial affairs at home remained in such
an unsettled state, any improvement could hardly be ex-
pected in our mat ket. The unsatisfactory report, there-
fore, weich we must now proceed to give, wel be a mat-
ter of but little surprise to our friends at home, though
as regards our import trade, some improvement might
have been looked tor, considering the low prices current
here for most stap!es compared with their actual ccee, as
also in consequence of the advance d period of the season.
which, owing to the opening of the river navigation, has
for past years always been characterised by censiderable
animation in the exchange of European and Indian come
modifies. This circumstance can navy be aceeueted for
by ihe great pressure in the money market, anti the high
rates of freights current, which render meet of our
staples almost un-aleaule, whilst the naive dealers, de-
pending for funds upon the sale of their produce, are
thus prevented from making their annual purchases of
European manufactures.
Our money market continues still very tight, and the
bank maintain their highest rates of interest and dis-
count; we are, however, hapey to say that the home
accounts have not had the effect upon our monetary
matters which might have been anticipated, and, though
accommodation continues in much request, a better feel-
ing seems to exist, which has given to Government secu-
rities a tendency to a slight advance.
Exchange on England has somewhat fluctuated. On
the Bth ult. our quotations were 2s. Old. to 2s. Oid. per
rupee, for ten months' date, and about 2s. ior six months'
sight bills, bus l rincipally owing to the falling off in the
remittances by Treasury draughts (those by the Had-
dington only amounting to about 97,0001.) these rates
could not be maintained; and, ere the closing of the
express, business was done at an advance of about 2 per
cent. On the receipt of the mail of the 7th of May the
rates again became unsettled; and, notwithstanding that
the amount of remittances was even more moderate than
by the previous opportunity, the impossibility of making
returns in produce, owing to the scarcity of tonnage,
forced buyers into the market, and our rates may now be
quoted at 2s. for six months' sight bills, and 2s. Odd. to
2s. Oid. for those of ten months' date.
An almost unprecedented inactivity, for the season,l
has prevailed in our produce markets, and the transac-
tions appear to have been mostly limited to rice; for the
high rates of freight, which the large shipments of that
article has kept up, precluded extensive operations in
any of the other bulky staples, whilst the other more
valuable produce, which can comparatively bear higher
freight, is chiefly such as is most affected in the home
markets by the prevailing distress and tightness of money
there.
The transactions in imports have been on a very mo-
derate scale, but little inquiry being as yet manifested
for the upper provinces. Considering the present scarcity
of money—the uncertainty as to pecuniary relief—and
the limited demand for produce, all of which seem likely,
to continue for sonic time to come, it is difficult to fix on
any definite period for a favourable reaction in the pre-
sent state of affairs, particularly so when the nfaitimial
shipments to arrive within the next two months, which
will add considerably to our present stock, are taken
into consideration.
e...rkireascetteneedeettecinntrifeetie'o3 hee'ettb&ekeeThe Refls
and the great scarcity of shipping in our river still con-
tinuing, freights have been steadily advancing, and we
may now quote our rates as follows:-91. los. to 91. 15s.
for sugar and rice, at which almost all vessels here, and
expected to arrive, have been taken up. Under these
circumstances we do not see any possibility of a mate-
rial decline taking place soon, particularly as the large
quantities of produce rapidly accumuletirg in the bazaar
must eventually find their way to Europe, whilst the
,hipping lists from England show comparatively but few
vessels bound to India.
We have to notice the total loss of the Roberts, which
vessel was Mara to the water's edge, off Saugor,
esn
the 29th ult. She was bound to China, and the prin-
cipal portion of her cargo consisted of about 3,700 bales
of cotton, and 1,150 bags of saltpetre. Crew saved.
Itafigo—ln our last issue of the Bth ultimo we stated
that at that time prospects were for a full average
crop. We now regret, for the sake of our planter
iriends, to be obliged to report continued heavy rain
P over nearly every district in
Bengal. In Jessore, where
the sowings were somewhat late, we fear it has done
irreparable injury, and few, it any, of the planters in
that district are likely to turn out more than last
year. In Dacca, Mymensing, pubna, and Rajahye, they
had a splendid show of plant, but have suffered equally
from the heavy rain, and within the
the rivers have been rising
with unusual rapidity, and
much of the plant had been destroyed, particularly in
the two first-named districts. Kishnagbur has been
more fortunate, and chiefly ;
at the southern parts, the
land being high,
and consequently better able to bear
the heavy rains; to the northward, however, and to-
wards Jungypore, the; past eight days
prospects are indifferent. From
Bhaugulpore also our accounts are bad, the greater part
of the low lands having been completely
swamped, and
none of the planters look forward to an average season
under the most favourable circumstances. .Poorneah
has also suffered from the same cause; some concerns in
Maldah will do pretty well, but it is doubtful if any of
them will make a large season. The accounts from Tir-
hoot are diversified; from some parts we hear of con-
stant heavy rains injuring the plane—from others, that
li they are suffering from drought, whilst at more fortu-
nate concerns prospects continue good. In Benares and
the north-west provinces they had commenced sowing,
and much will depend upon the state of the weather
during the next twenty days, but as yet the expectations
of the planters are good.
Upon the whole, we think that there is no reason to
anticipate a larger crop than an average one, under the
most favourable circumstances, while a return of bad
dswwe
ith
weather may make it less. For the last
showers of rain, and we trust the same has extended to
the interior.

prospect of improvement, unless holders submit
very considerable decline in order to compensate for the

high freights which shippers are obliged to pay, and of
this there is little probability, as the present prices are
lower than they have been for a length of time. In the

is no demand. Experts in all June were 56,000 maunds.

The tightness in our money market still continues,
and the banks maintain their highest rates of interest
and discount. It was feared that the news of the mone-
tary derangement at home would seriously affect our
market, but those apprehensions seem to have been
groundless, for on the %%hole there appears to exist a
better feeling, and we confidently hope that after the
next opium sale, which is the last of the season, money
will become comparatively more easy. Public securities
show a slight tendency to an advance, and considerable
amounts of the new Five per Cent. Loan have changed
hands during this week.

gave way. Flour fell to 5 dolls. 50c. for Genessee,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCZ#
PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 22.—1 t is a long time since
we had any occasion to find fault with the besONCal,
of Admiralty favours, and we had hoped a more
partial era had dawned on the administration of naval
affair. when the present First Lord was appointed to-
office. It is with extreme regret ..e find ourselves
mistaken in our supposition, as the two promotions
which head the list below exemplify. We know
nothing of Captain Broun or Captain Clifford person.
ally, and the world is equa'ly ignorant of the services
they may have performed to have entitled them to be
promoted over the heads of so many other deserving
men. They may be good officen—assuredly are very
fortunate ones— but where promotion can only he
obtained by death vacancies, certainly some more dis-
crimination than has been evinced in th e cases under
notice ought to guide the naval Cominancier-in-Chief
in his bestowal of rewards. As parallels .to the two
cases allud,d to, we will just instance two t:nfertos
mites on the per contra side of Fortune's day- look.
Commander William it Acliffe (1830) of the Ap,;110
troop-ship, refitting iii els harbour, and Commande:
Arthur Morrell (1823) late of, the Tortoise store and
guard ship at, and Governor of ,the I.lend of Ascen-
sion. The former is a lieutenant of 1816, the latter a
lieutenant of 1809. In neither of the official re-
sources at the public disposal are any services what.
ever recorded of either Of the officers yesterday
promoted from the rank of commander to that
of captain. Now look at the per contra
cases :—Commander Radcliffe entered the service
in 1809, served all the war ; was promoted
to the rank of Lieutenant for his gallantry at
Algiers; served in the Tyne under Captain Goss.
don T. Falcon; in the Hind, under the Hon. Captain
Rous ; in the Marten, Captain Henry Eden (now
private secretary to the Fiat Lord of the Admiralty);
and in the Undaunted, under Sir A. W. Clifford ; in
the two latter as First Lieutenant. He was promoted
to the rank of Commander in 1830 ; has since been
very actively employed in the Apollo in various parts
of the globe, particularly at Monte Video, where the
Apollo landed her guns and her crew (in conjunction
with the crews of the Eagle and French steamer Ga-
aendi) by throwing tip a battery, and defending the
east point of Maldonado for several days against G
strong force of Oribe's army. He (Commander Rad-
cliffe) also received a letter from the Lords of the-
Admiralty, stating that they had recorded his services
in bringing the Apollo safely out of Waterloo Bay,
Cape of Good Hope, after losing all her anchors, in
consequence of tremendous " rollers" setting in ; the
ship, at the time, having her Majesry's 73d Regi-
ment on board. He still, we believe, remains the
Senior Commander actively employed afloat. Captain
Clifford (promoted yesterday), was a Midshipman in
the Undaunted, his first trip to sea, when Comman-
der Radcliffe was first Lieutenant in the same ship.
He (Captain Clifford) appears in the Navy List a
Lieutenant on the 7th of May, 1838; and Commander
on the 7th of March, 1842 ; and has been a short
time in the East Indies as Commander of the 16-gun
sloop IVolverine, recently paid off at Chatham. Cap.
tain Broun was First-Lieutenant of the same Une
daunted in her next commission, after Commander
Radcliffe had been promoted; and has served a little
more than one year as Commander of the St. Vincent.
With regard to Commander Morrell, 1823, the
Senior Commander of that year, in the .Nary List,
his, if possible, is a more. melancholy case than that
of the officer whose claims we have just recapitulated.
He was mate of the Polyphemus, and commanded one
of her boats at the capture of a privateer off St.
Domingo, in NM Was Senior Lieutenant of the
Termagant, at the reduction of Genoa, and of the
Revolutionaire, and in command of her boats, at the
capture of tvi o piratical vessels. He subsequently
served in various parts of the world, and was, in De-
cember, 1844, appointed Governor of Ascension as a
permanency, but in less than two years from the
date of his appointment to that post was dispossessed
of it, and came home in the Hydra steam sloop some
months since, after being put to much expense la
sending for his wife and family out, and establishing
them at Ascension.
The Agincourt- flap. of
Commander-in-Chief on the China and East India
Station, arrived at Spithead at seven o'clock this
morning ; Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-
Chief, being absent on leave, and his flag struck,
Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., the acting Com-
mander-in-Chief, who is junior to Rear. Admiral
Cochrane, had to salute that officer first, thus revers-
ing the usual order of that ceremony, although the
flag (blue) at the mizen of the Agincourt was neces-
sarily junior to the white one of Rear-Admiral Par-
ker. This arose from the circumstance of Sir Thomas
Cochrane not having rec•ived any official in-
formation of his promotion from blue to white and
from the white to the red squadron of the fleet. As
he is now senior officer so lone as he remains at this
port, Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker's authority as
Commander-in-Chief is superseded. The Agincourt
has been in commission five years and seven months,
and has of course been employed in all the operations
against the Chinese and the pirates of the coast.
Five years being the maximum time appointed for a
ship's term of commission on a foreign station, many
of her crew who have been in her the whole term
will receive double pay for the overtime. The ship
is in splendid condition internally, but her out
appearance resembles that of an immense niercha_n
man, on account of her fantastic port streak,

The political accounts are unimportant, and leave
still in doubt the reported appointment of peace corn-
commissioners by Mexico.
The health of the city of Vera Cruz bad been re-
established. The Governor of Vera Cruz is said to
have received information that an attack would be
made on that place immediately after the departure
of General Pearce. The necessary preparations for
an effectual defence had been made by the Governor.
Letters from authentic sources have been received
at Vera Cruz from the city of Mexico, which posi-
tively state that Santa Anna is in favour of peace,
and is only waiting until the peace party shall ac-
quire undisputed ascendancy before publicly de-
claring his sentiments.
It was not known at Vera Cruz whether Santa
Anna or the Mexican Congress had selected the
commissioners to confer with Mr. Trist. Indeed it
was not positively known that the Congress had even
assembled at all, but it was understood that the peace
commissioners were assembled o n the 7th of July,
by order of the congressional body. The Sun of
Anahuac avers that the commissioners represent thi-
views of Santa Anna, and therefore draws the corn
elusion that the latter is decidedly in favour of the
re-establishment of peace between the two Go•
vernments. The Fico Iris of the 13th asserts that
the commissioners had accepted of their appoint-
ments, and taken their dep rture for the purpose of
discharging the duties entrusted to them. This
course, observes the Iris, is approved by a large
majority of the most influential men in the republic,
and whose exertions, in a great degree, contributed
to this result.
Santa Anna still remained in power, and no change
in his cabinet had occurred. A majority of his
ministers were said to be in favour of an immediate
adjustment of the difficulties between their own
country and the United States of the north.
General Pillow arrived at Puebla on the Bth July.
Negotiations for peace were under consideration as
late as the 11th, up to which time General Scott had
not moved towards the capital.
The New Orleans Commercial Times states, that a
French gentleman at Tampico, who left the capital
on the 6th of July, declares that the Mexican Con-
gress was not in session at that time, and that nothing
was known relative to the appointment of commis-
sioners.
The New Orleans Bee represents the accounts from
Mexico as conflicting, but those from the most
authentic sources indicate a disposition to negotiate.
The terms conceded by the United States, however,
must, it says, be very liberal.
The Great Western was at Tampico.
The Spanish steamer Leon, formerly the Mexican
Guadeloupe, had left New York for Cadiv.
The French steam-ship Philadelphia arrived at
New York on the 2d instant, from Cherbourg, after
a run of seventeen days. She took out no news of a
ate date.
Our Canadian accounts are unimportant.
