MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Pram the London New Price Current of Sept. 22.)
Suc.k.a.—Today the market presented a more favour-
able appearance for raw Sugar, whilst for nearly all sorts
th.v.er rates were obtained, and buyers generally ap-
peared desirous to get into stock. West India Musco-
vado realised an advance on former rates of 6d per cwt,
and was in excellent request, both for the pan and scale.
The quantity sold amounted to 766 hhds, &c., including
a public sale of 106 hhds Barbadoes, which went off at
stiffer rates, fine yellow fetched 41s, good 38s 6d to
39s 6d, middling 37s to 38s, and one lot very low brown
338. .38 barrels and 1 tierce of St. Nevis sold fully 6d
g(.5,r8 cwt higher, good yellow went at 37s 6d to 38s, mid
6d, low 34s 6d, and middling brown 34s per cwt.
For the week the total sales are 3,100 hhds &c, and the
market closes with a firm appearance.
REFINED.—To-day refined Sugar was dealt in with
greater freedom for home trade purposes, and prices
are firmer, brown grocery lumps selling at 48s 6d to
Os, and Standard lumps 50s per cwt. For Bonded

SPIRITS.—There aro sellers of East India Rum at
Is 54d to is 6d proof, still the purchases made have
been of little moment. For Leeward Island the market
is dull, and prices keep on the decline, they rule at ls 6id
to is 7d for proof. Demerara is little wanted, and sellers
are disposed to accept 2s 2d to 2s 8d for 24 to 38 per
cent over proof. Jamaica is little wanted for home trade
purposes, and the export purchases made this week i❑
all kinds have been trifling, whilst the tendency of
prices is to recede. The value of 28 to 33 per cent over
proof of plain middling quality is 3s 2d to 3s sd, 34 to
38 over, good mid and good 3s 6d to 3s 9d, fine 3s
10d to 4s, choice marks 4s 2d to 4s 4d. There
are further arrivals of Rum, and deliveries keep of a❑
unsatisfactory nature. Brandy continues in excellent
request, and former rates are well kept up, as deliveries
keep large, with small arrivals. Cognac, best brands of
the vintage of 1846 is selling at 4s 10d to ss.
INDIGO.—A steady home and export demand has been
experienced this week for all kinds, whilst the rates paid
axhibit a small advance on the last quarterly auctions.
There is decidedly an improving demand for all pur-
poses, and prices are looking up. In Spanish
the business concluded this week has been upon fully
former terms, and only a small quantity is on offer.
SALTPETRE.—For public sale on Tuesday 1,000 bags
of Saltpetre are declared.
Oils.—This afternoon, at public sale, 42 tuna of
Southern Oil sold at 251 to 27 15s for ordinary to fine,
which are higher rates; 9 tuns Sperm—good 691 to 691
10s, and 17 (tusks Lard Oil 43s to 43s 3d per cwt.
TALLOW.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow
went off with spirit, and at firm rates, 193 casks of
South American were sold at 45s to 475; 474 casks New
South Wales 45s 6d to 47s 6d; 100 casks of Odessa 46a
6d to 46s 6d; and 58 casks of Australian at 46s per cwt.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending September 19,
1848, is 235. 2d. per cwt.

FRATERNITY EYEMPLIFIED.—A rather singular
instance of Fraternity was exhibited the other evening,
at the London station of the South• Eastern Railway
by some members of the French National Guards•
It appears that several officers and men belonging
to the National Guards of Paris and other places had
come over from the fete at Boulogne to have a peep
at the Great Metropolis, ; and on their return
went promiscuously into the same or second-class
carriages ; but on the officers thus finding
themselves on an equality with the men
they suddenly jumped out and took the liberty of
getting into the first-class carriages! This is another
beautiful illustration of the difference between theory
and practice !

THE CHEVALIER. JOHN MARTIN.
Those who have visited the Polytechnic Institution
of this town, and who have devoted a critical and
well-matured judgment to the pictorial embellish-
ments of this magnificent exhibition, must have been
charmed with the numerous works of art which decorate
the various rooms set apart for this purpose, and
which so proudly mark the progress of painting
in this country ; amongst which must have been ad-
mired, as gems of the first order, those by the cele-
brated Chevalier John Martin, a native of our own
locality, and whose well-earned fame, will, in due
time, be justly appreciated, and claimed by his native
county, as a portion of the laurels which wreath the
history of Northumberland. And it is because we
should love to see this laudable progression of the
line arts fostered and promoted by all the natural and
legitimate stimulants on which they subsist, and
without which they languish, that we apologize for
giving our readers the following extract from a me-
tropolitan contemporary, in the apposition of whose
strictures, both on the score of justice and reproach,
we must say we most heartily concur :
"We have had the gratification, in common with
many other lovers of the fine arts, of viewing a splendid
collection of paintings, in oil and water colours, by the
well-known and highly-esteemed Chevalier John Martin.
That gentleman has lately removed from Alsop-ter-
race, New-road, where he has resided for nearly thirty
years, to Lindsey House, a spacious mansion in Chel-
sea, on the banks of the Thames, with a splendid view
up and down that river. This dwelling has been fitted
up with great taste, and its walls are decorated with
many of the paintings which have obtained for Martin a
reputation which the world will not willingly let die.'
There we saw the original of The Deluge, one of the
most effective of modern compositions, with its marvellons
combinations of colour and composition, its wonderful
contrasts of light and shade. There is the fall of Nine-
veh—which (painted as it is on Titian's principle of the
light from within) looked fresher and brighter than it
did when we first saw it years ago. There we saw three
of the paintings illustrative of early Scriptural story—
The Prayer in Paradise; Eve tempting Adam with the
Forbidden Fruit, and Our First Parent's Discovery that
they were Naked. There, too, hangs that striking epe-
sode at the Coronation of Queen Victoria, when the
aged Peer, Lord Rolle, hastening to pay homage to his
Sovereign, stumbled almost at her feet, and the
Crowned 'Lady of the Isle' yielded to her natural
impulse of the courteusness, and hastened to raise
him with her own hand. Nor, master as he is of Space,
and wonderful as he combines minuteness of detail with
breadth of execution—so that his historical paintings
will boar close examination as well as that more distant

ARCADES AMRO.—A respectable Beadle calls the
ThameslTunnel " the Exeter Change Arcade seeu under
the water."—Punch.

Mr. STURGEON submitted that, as an action had
been brought and a judgment recovered upon this
bill, there could be no doubt of Mr. Joel's right to
oppose.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he intended to re-
quire the production of a bill of exchange in all cases
where it formed the foundation of a debt.
Mr. Joel's opposition was then refused.
Mr. Morland, army tailor, Jermyn- street, com-
plained that the insolvent gave them a bill for 1601. in
May last to cover a debt of 691. due by himself, and
941. from his brother who had gone out to India.
The insolvent had stated that he expected to have a
large sum of money paid into Cox's to his account.
The insolvent, upon being examined, said the
money he expected was a sum of 1,3001., which he
had a power of attorney from his father to receive.
He had paid 401. on account of the dishonoured bill.
Mr. Commissioner Hamm said he saw nothing in
Mr. Morland's complaint to prevent the insolvent
being discharged.
Mr. NicaoLs prayed the Court to.:adjourn the case
for a few days, as Mr. Fumes, who was a material
witness, was at present prevented from attending by
reason of illness.

After some discussion, the case was adjourned
until Thursday next.

IN RE GEORGE SUTHERLAND.

This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, and was
supported by Mr. Dowse.
The opposition was twofold, on account of .a vexa-
tious defence whereby the creditors had been put to
401. law costs, and on account of a making away of
property by giving a bill of sale to a Mr. Moir shortly
before his arrest.

The COURT considered the complaints proved, and
remanded the insolvent for a period of 12 calendar
months from the date of his vesting order.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice ERLE and:Mr. Justice WIL•
LIA 1145.)
Theodore Piedfort, the Frenchman who was con-
victed on Wednesday of a felonious assault upon a
woman, was brought up for judgment.
The prisoner addressed the Court in :French, and
prayed their Lordships to have mercy upon him for
the sake of his wife and children. He declared to
God that he was innocent of the crime. _
Mr. Justice ERLE said the jury had paid great
attention to the case, and had considered it most
carefully, and they had come to the conclusion that
he was guilty of the offence imputed to him, and it
appeared to him that it was of an aggravated cha-
racter. He had deliberately taken advantage of the
defenceless position of the prosecutrix to commit the
crime, and he (the Learned Judge) considered that
he should be neglecting his duty if he did not pass a
severe sentence. A very short time back the offence
was a capital one, and at present any person con-
victed of it was liable to be transported for life. lie
should not go to that extent, but taking into con-
sideration the character of the offence, he felt called
upon to sentence him to be transported for twenty
years.
Wzlliam Stennett, the postman who yesterday
pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a letter con-
taining money, was also brought up for judgment,
and he was sentenced to be transported for ten years.
Nary Ann West, 27, a married woman, was in-
dicted for the manslaughter of her mother, Elizabeth
Shields, by striking her on the head with a brick, and
by beating her, and casting her upon the ground.
Mr. O'Brien prosecuted, and Mr. Prendergast ap-
peared for the prisoner.
Martha Foster, a little girl nine years old, deposed
that she lived at No. 10, Lower Marsh, Lambeth,
and the prisoner lodged in the same house. The
deceased lodged next door, and on the afternoon of
the 30th of August she was in the back yard of her
house, and the prisoner was in the garden of No. 10.
They were quarrelling, and after they had talked
some time, the prisoner picked up a brick and threw
it at her mother, and it struck her on the back part
of the head. The deceased picked up an oyster-shell
and threw it at her daughter, and then went into the
house. The prisoner followed her, and then there was
a great noise in the passage, and witness went into
the house and saw the deceased, and at that time her
head was covered with blood.

Cross-examined—The old lady called her daughter
a very bad name, and said that she had robbed her
of 101.

Mr. R. Hemmings deposed, that he occupied the
house No. 11, Lower Marsh, and the deceased lived
in his back parlour. She was of very intemperate
habits, and was continually drunk. Upon the after-
noon in question he heard a noise in the passage of his
house, and on going down he found the prisoner and
deceased struggling together, and the latter had her
hand fast clenched in her daughter's hair. The
prisoner appeared to be struggling to get away, and
at length the deceased fell down heavily backwards,
and her head struck against a step in the passage, the
prisoner being dragged down on the top of her by
her hair. He endeavoured to separate them, but
found it: mpossible to do so, and he sent for a police-
man, and when the deceased got up he saw that her
cap was completely saturated with blood. He saw
the deceased the next morning, and observed that her
face was very much swollen, and that her eyes were

Cross-examined—When he first saw the prisoner
and the deceased the former appeared to be trying to
get away, but her mother held her fast by the hair,
and dragged her down with her, and the prisoner
repeatedly begged her to loose her hold. The de-
ceased was quite drunk at the time, and in fact she
was constantly drunk during the period she had
lodged with him. She was frequently quite drunk
so early as six o'clock in the morning, and she would
then stop in her rooms a short time, and when she got
better she would go out and get drunk a second time.
When she was in that state she would always aggra-
vate her daughter and call her bad names, and also
charge her with robbing her.
Norman, the police-constable who was called in,
deposed that the deceased gave her daughter into
custody for assaulting and robbing her, and upon in.
spiry before the magistrate, the prisoner was ordered
to find bail to keep the peace towards her mother.
Mrs. Humphreys, the wife of the former witness,
deposed that she never saw deceased sober, and that
she was in the habit of falling down frequently, and
she heard she had had a severe fall about a week be-
fore this affair happened.
Mr. U'Shee, a surgeon, who saw the deceased on
the Sunday after the occurrence, proved that her
death was immediately caused by erysipelas. He
observed marks of injuries upon the back of the head

Thomas Pyle, aged 42, a smith, Was indicted for
stealing a quantity of tools, valued at 71., the property
of Thomas Jackson.
Mr. Robinson defended the prisoner.
Mr. PARNELL stated the following case to the jury :
The prisoner was foreman to the smiths in the employ
of the prosecutor, who is the well-known builder and
railway contractor, residing at Pimlico. In conse-
quence of the slackness of trade the prisoner had been
for some months past engaged in making tools, and,
upon his receiving notice to quit the service, he was
requested to give up the tools named in the indict-
ment, which, not being forthcoming, his lodgings
were searched, and the things found. The prisoner
then said that he was about to leave, he had taken the
things to assist him when he set up in business. The
prisoner gave up the whole of the property voluntarily,
none of which had been defaced or made away with,
and could not have been identified by the prosecu-
tors, but for his stating that it was their property.
Mr. ROBINSON denied any felonious intention on
the part of his client, and called a number of witnesses
who gave him a high character for honesty for a great
number of years.
The RECORDER, in summing up, said the prosecu-
tors were quite right in sending the case for trial, but
that however irregularly the prisoner had behaved,
his subsequent conduct went a long way to negative
the supposition that his intention was felonious, and
as the tools were unfinished and the prisoner had a
right to:keep them in his custody, he did not consider
the charge could be sustained from the simple fact of
the things being removed to his lodgings, especially
a 3 the term of his service had not expired.
The jury, after a short consultation, Acquitted the
prisoner.

Henry Curzon, aged 24, a labourer, was indicted
for stealing nine sovereigns, the property of William
Bennett, in his dwelling-house.
Mr. Parnell prosecuted, and Mr. Payne defended
the prisoner.
Mrs. Matilda Bennett, the wife of the prosecutor,
stated, that they lived at No. 3, Queen-street, Horse-
lydown, and her husband is the owner of the Clemen-
tine, a vessel trading between England and Ireland.
The prisoner is their cousin by marriage, and lodged
with them ; and upon the 10th of July witness gave
to prisoner the money named in the indictment for
the purpose of paying some rent that was due, she
being about to accompany her husband upon his
journey. They returned upon the 16th of August,
and when witness got home the prisoner was absent.
lie returned in the course of the afternoon, and
then said that he was going out, and should be
detained late, and wished to have the street-door key,
which witness refused to let him have, and said
her sister should sit up for him. She retired to rest
early, and about 11 o'clock the prisoner came home,
and made a statement to her sister which caused her
to go down stairs ; and she then learnt from the pri-
soner that he had seen two men leap from the top of
the street door, and that he had found they had been
into the room he occupied and broke open his box.
On the next morning she gave him notice to leave
the house, and he then told her that he had not paid
the rent, and that the money which had been left for
that purpose had been stolen on the previous night.
Miss Curtis, sister to the last witness, corroborated
her statement, adding that no one could have entered
the house as alluded to by the prisoner; and that
two policemen (whom he fetched in to see the place
that had been broken into) said no one had ever
been in the place, and that the ,story was a fabri-
cation.

The 'other evidence went to prove that when the
landlord's agent called for the rent, the prisoner
made a variety of excuses for not paying him, and
that on the day previously to the prosecutor's return
he had made .a similar statement about a robbery
having taken place by which he had lost the money.
Mr. PAYNE contended that the money having been
voluntarily given to the prisoner, who was in the
capacity of a servant, the fact of his having appro-
priated it to his own purposes would not constitute a
felony.

After some argument, the RECORDER left it for the
jury to say whether the prisoner took the money with
an intention of depriving the prosecutor of it, or
whether he only intended to appropriate it to his own
purpose for a time, and whether they believed the
prisoner had been robbed, as he stated.
Eventually the jury returned a verdict, that they
did not believe the story of the robbery, and that they
thought, having appropriated a portion of the money
to his own use, he was unable to make good the whole
payment.

The RECORDER said that, under these circum-
stances, a charge of larceny could not be sustained,
and directed his acquittal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday William Nash was brought up for final
examination on the charge of stealing a horse and
gig, the property of Mr. Stapleton.
A fresh case was entered into where the prisoner
hired a one•horse britzska for the purpose of taking
a drive into the country. The coachman drove him
to the Eagle at Snaresbrook, as he wished to enjoy a
dinner in the country. The dinner was ordered, and
partaken of both by the prisoner and the coachman ;
after which the former, as usual, said he was going
to take a walk, and ordered tea to be ready, at the
same time very considerately telling the landlord to
let his servant have whatever he wanted. Before
leaving, however, he went to the coachman and
borrowed 25., promising to repay him when he paid
his bill.

Mr. R. T. Peters, the landlord of the Blue Boar,
Holborn, deposed to the fact of the prisoner entering
his service about four or fire months back under the
nome of Selvey. He was discharged about a month
ago for irregularity.
Alderman LAWRENCE said he should send him for
trial to the Central Criminal Court.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Alphonse Pilion and Josephine Raoul were brought
before Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged
with being concerned in a robbery of 57 yards of
silk, value 161., from the shop of Mr. IV. Pugh, silk
mercer, No. 163, Regent-street.
The woman Raoul has been long known to the
police. It appeared that she was one of three French
persons who went into the prosecutor's shop to make
a purchase of silk. After the three French women
had left the shop the silk in question was missed.

"Norwood, Sept. 21."
In reply to a question from the MAGISTRATR, th
Mr. Robinson, the superintendent of the WalviOr.o
division of police, and who is taking much painsid
assisting in the investigation of this singular, The
highly suspicious case, said there were some 0' 10
neighbours of Mrs. Linfield's in attendance whorl
wished to have examined.
Mr. Elizabeth Baker, the wife of a baker, here Pre
into the witness-box and stated she resided next cl°°
to the house of Mrs. Linfield ; that she had seen..!
number of women brought to the prisoner's house I,r'
the family-way, and all, or at least the great mkinrilij
of them, left in about a fortnight. They general
came in cabs, and were taken away in similar 'Thiel";
some of them by gentlemen.
Mr. NORTON—Have you noticed that some of the
females were more advanced in pregnancy that 'the
others ? Witness—l have, Sir.
Mr. NORTON—And yet you say that all left OW°
in about a fortnight ? 'Witness—Yes, Sir, that
about the time.
Mr. NORTON—Have yeu noticed that infants 110!
been taken from there ? Witness—No, Sir, I nevi
saw a single baby removed from the house.
(This answer produced a considerable sensatio°
amongst the crowd in the court.)
Mr. NORTON—Did you not observe any of dull
numerous women take away their infants with than( ri
Witness—Not one of them, Sir. As I have ms'
before, I never saw a baby removed from NO'
Linfield's.

In her cross•examination by Mr. Games, the N 61'
ness acknowledged that she had known Linfield for
many years, and that she had once attended herself la
her confinement, when she acquitted herself with
skill and judgment. She (witness) was not aw.oo
that Mrs. Linfield was a parish midwife, but believed
she was engaged as such by some charitable institni•
tion. She did not think it likely that women who weixt
to the house to be confined privately and conceal their
shame from their friends were likely to take their off:
spring home with them, nor did she sit up all night
to see whether the infants were removed then or not.
In conclusion the witness said, that she was not singe''
lar in her remarks, for that many of her neighbour;
thought it strange and suspicious while women wen;
evidently confined there, no infants should be seen.
Mr. J. Clark, a tea-dealer, also residing next door
to the prisoner Linfield, corroborated the testunoixf
of the last witness as to having frequently seen
men in a state of pregnancy brought to the prisoner!
house, and leave there in a few weeks, but he did no;
take particular notice as to time. He had observe('
women at the back windows of the house while i&.
was in his garden, but had never seen any infants, al,
heard their cries. For some considerable time himself
and his family were annoyed by a nuisance of an Inv
tolerable description, and having strong suspicions sal
to the cause, he had a drain which led from the cess:.
pool in the prisoner's garden, and passed under NO
kitchen, opened, expecting to find something in?'
proper there, but did not find anything of the descripo'
tion he anticipated. He had a grating placed in thi,
drain so as to prevent any substance passing throne
it, and since then the stench, as of putrid matter, Iv 04
not so bad.

Another neighbour, a cow-keeper, described dist
effluvium arising from Mrs. Linfield's premises, anal
which he said was not of an ordinary description.,
but appeared to him to be occasioned by the decom•
position of some putrid matter, and was most intolir•
rable. _

The next and last witness was the brother of the
unfortunate girl, who said that he took a letter fr 01331
his sister to Linfield on that day week, when th at
person told him she was merely treating his sister fot
a liver complaint.
The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was
again remanded, and Mr. NORTON gave particular
directions that the house, garden, and premises
Linfield should be strictly examined.
Mr. Robins, in reply to a question from Mr. Nos-'
TON, said he had placed the instruments found at the,
house of Linfield before Mr. Flower, the divisional.
surgeon, and that gentleman informed him that they'
were such as might be found with a midwife; but
still, that in unskilful or improper hands a very
dangerous and fatal use might be made of them.
