nOROUGII 210 P IVIAFLICET.

A few pockets of new Hops have sold at from 95s to
105 s per cwt. Picking will become pretty general by
the end of the present week. In yearling and old
H i
flops, exceedingly little business is doing, and late
rates are with difficulty. supported. Yearlings—Sussex
pockets, 24 53 to 2/12s; Weald of Kent ditto, 2/ 8s to
21 15s ; Mid and East Kept ditto, 21 14s to 5/10s per cwt.
WOOL.
Last week's imports of Wool were comparatively
small, viz , 750 bales from Hamburgh ; 600 ditto from
Algoa Bay ; 106 ditto from Bombay ; and 150 ditto
from various other quarters. A large portion of the
Wool brought to public sale has been withdrawn from
want of buyers, and the value of the secondary qualities
has been with difficulty supported. There are still about
20,000 bales to be offered. In the private contract mar-
ket very little is doing.
TALLOW.
A full average business is still passing in our market,
and the late advance in the quotations is well supported.
The deliveries are seasonably large. P.Y.C. on the spot
is 45s 6d; Town Tallow, 45s 9d per cwt. net cash;
Rough Fat, 2s 7d per 8 lbs. Letters from St Peters-
burgh state that a good business is doing there, at prices
nearly equal to 46s laid down here.

SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY).

These sessions commenced to-day, at the Sessions-
house, Newington-causeway, before Thomas Puckle,
Esq , and a bench of magistrates.
The grand jury having been sworn,
The CHAIRMAN proceeded to deliver his charge to
them. He was happy to say that the calendar of pri-
soners was very light compared with what it usually was
at this period of the year. He did not know what was
the cause of the small number of prisoners, but
he was afraid he could not flatter himself or
the grand jury that it arose from a decrease
of crime. The cases on the calendar, which were only
33 in number, did not present any feature calling for
any particular observations from him. Although it did
not come within or affect the province of the grand jury,
he might mention that since the Court last met, an altera-
tion had been made in the criminal law, an Act having
passed the Legislature, by which all questions of law in
that Court, or the Court of Assize, might be reserved for
the consideration of the judges.
William Holt, 19, pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing, at Camberwell, three silver
forks and three silver spoons, the property of Augustus
Coleman Crocker, and
The CourtT sentenced him to six months' imprison-
merit and hard labour, and to be privately whipped.
Thomas Marchant, 41, a labourer, was indicted with
stealing, at Wonersh, a quantity of timber, the pro-
perty of Henry Drummond, Esq., M.P.
The prisoner said, in his defence, that his wife had
bought the wood for Is. and a gallon of beer.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly re-
commended him to mercy.
The prisoner's master gave him a good character, and
The COURT sentenced him to three weeks' solitary
confinement.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DA
Louis Alphonse Pilou, a Frenchman, and Ernestine
Chevalie, a young Frenchwoman, were placed at tho bar
before Mr. Bingham, charged on suspicion of stealing
fifty-seven yards of glace silk, the property of Mr. John
Walter Pugh, silk mercer, 163, Regent-street.
John Kingley, an assistant in the employ of the pro-
secutor, deposed that on the afternoon of the 31st of last
August three Frenchwoni n came into his employer's
shop, and requested to be shown some rich glace
silk. He placed some before them, and they purchased
two and a half yards, Rhich they paid for and
went away. The following morning, on looking over
the stock on the counter, witness missed a length
of lavender-coloured glac c silk, containing fifty-seven
yards, and worth about 151. 10s., which he had seen the
previous afternoon lying on the counter close to where
the females were standihg. The remnants of the silk
produced are a portion of the length stolen from their
shop, and witness id, ntified one remnant from its having
his private mark upon it.
Win. Penticost, shopman to Messrs. Harrison, pawn-
brokers, 25, Wardour-street, Soho, produced 12 yards of
lavender coloured glat 6 silk, pledged by the male pri-
soner for 303., on the evening of the 31st of August.
The prisoner gave the name of Alphonse, 26, Wardour-
street, Soho.
Mr. Wfist, the linguist, of 8, Rupert-street, who at-
tended for the prosecutor, interpreted this portion cf
the evidence to the prisoner, who could nut speak a
word of English.
The prisoner, through the same medium, admitted
