RICE.—To-day the market for East India Rice presented
a dull appearance, and the sound of 2,327 bags of Bengal at
public sale was taken in at further reduced rates, viz.: good
white 19s, middling 18s to 18s 6d, and common at 17s, but
the sea damaged sold at 16s to 17s 6d for first class, 15s 6d
for second class, 1-1 s Gd to 15s for third and fourth class, and
other kinds of damaged at 15s per cwt.
INDIGO.—To-day during the progress of the sale 1,331
chests were withdrawn. 929 chestshave passed the hammer.
The biddings continue to I4e as languid as they were last
week, and prices remain the same as quoted, ranging from the
last sale's rates to 3d advance for Bengals, and a shade above
the average of the July sale for Madras and Kurpah.
COCIIINEM..—This afternoon all kinds of Cochineal were
in much better request, and 337 bags Honduras silvers at
auction were nearly all sold at 4s 8d to 5s 8d for low to fine,
which is Id to 21 per lb higher; three bags fetched 6s 6d for
good quality.
FRUlT.—Prices are firm for New Currants, but the demand
has not been so active ; the value of Patras is 565, and Zante
5-is per cwt; the quality is not so good as it was last year.
Of Old Currants scarcely any remain unsold. Valencia
Raisins have been much in demand, and the market has
been again cleared at 45s to 46s per cwt. Muscatels have
been in extensive demand at from 52s to 70s, and very fine
has fetched 80s to 90s percwt.
SALTPETRE.—Rough has been more sought after, but
business of moment was prevented privately by stiffer rates
being asked, and 1,106 bags at public sale of Calcutta were
taken in at 25s 6d for common grey small chrystal, 101,4 to
714 per cent. refraction, being fully 6d above the value. For
English Refined the demand has been active, and prices are
firm at 29s 6d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is little wanted, and
can be obtained at 16s to I6s 6d per cwt.
TALLOW.—The home trade are still eager purchasers of
Russian on the spot, and in consequence of arrivals keeping
small, the stock being much less than it was at this time
last year, the deliveries being on the increase, and the quan-
tity between here and St. Petersburgh only 8,000 casks, a
further advance in the value has taken place, fine new P. Y.
Candle bringing 47s to 47s 6d per cwt. For forward delivery
the operations have been upon a large scale, and at stiffer
rates. For home made prices may be considered as mode-
rate; the supply is less than it was. All other kinds have
been much in request, and prices are still rising.
Ons.—The market for Seal Oil has an improving appear-
ance; large purchases have been made, and further ad-
vanced rates are paid. None has been offered at auction.
Holders of Cod accepting 261 10s, occasioned a good
business to be transacted privately, but the supply is on
the increase. Southern has been purchased with increased
freedom, and the parcels sold privately were at rather
higher rates. Sperm has been taken with more
freedom, and prices have improved lOs to 20s per tun ; se-
veral parcels were disposed of privately. The arrivals of
Oils have not been of much consequence since last Tuesday,
but a further increase has taken place in the deliveries fir
home consumption. Cocoa Nut is much wanted, and the
parcels sold by private contract were at stiff rates. Palm
has been largely dealt in privately. In Rapeseed Oil a good
deal has been done. Olive has been in excellent request,
and prices are very firm.

THE NEW PLANET.—The present distance of the
new planet, expressed in common measure, is about
3,200,000,000 English miles from the sun, and about
3,100,000,000 from the earth. Its distance from Uranus
—whose motions it disturbs—is about 150,000,000 of
miles'. Its diameter is estimated at 50,000 miles. That
of Uranus is about 35,000 ; of Jupiter, 86,000 ; of
Saturn, 79,000 ; of the earth, 8,000. Its cubic bulk is
to that of the earth as 250 to 1. The new planet is the
largest in our system except Jupiter and Saturn ; and
since these two planets, as well as Uranus, are each at
tended by a train of satellites, it is extremely probable
that the new planet will have a similar accompaniment.
We had the pleasure of seeing the planet on Thursday
night from the Carlton Hill. It comes to the meridan a
few minutes before nine, and is within a short distance of
Saturn. With a power under 200 it is not distinguish-
able from a fixed star.—ScotEman.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
TVORSHIP-STREET.
THE ALLEGED MURDER IN SPITALFIELDS.—Ann
Linner, alias Nance Ruffey, who had been remanded
from last Monday upon a charge of stabbing a young
Irishman, named Daniel Crawley, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Broughton for re-examination, charged now
with wilful murder, the man having died last Saturday
in the London Hospital.
The deceased, it may be remembered, stated in his
dying deposition that, about one o'clock in the morning
of Sunday se'rmight, he went into the prisoner's shop,
in Spitaltields, to purchase some cooked meat, which
was cut for him by an Irishman, a stranger to him, who
was then with the prisoner. The latter told him the
price of the meat was 22d., and he said he hai not
enough by a farthing, but he would call as he passed by
and pay the farthing. The prisoner, however, took the
knife from the Irishman and thrust it into him, swing,
" Take that you —." Ile declared that he had not
uttered a word more to provoke her.
Sergeant King now informed the magistrate that he
had got the Irishman spoken of by the deceesA, end
another man :Aso present as witnesses, but he was sorry
to say that they were under the influence of liquor.
George Brown, who seemed half stupified sit.li drink,
was arm examined. He said he knew the prisoner, but
could not now tell the name of the street in which she
lived. On the Saturday evening before last Fe went into
the shop between the hours of seven and eight, to get
something to eat. and he remained about the shop until
about half-past one. Ile was standing behind the counter
with the prisoner, when the man now dead came in and
ordered a quarter of a pound of meat, which the pt :loner
asked witness to cut for him. He accordingly cat and
weighed it, and the prisoner said the price of it was 22d.
The deceased put only 21 into the hand of the wanes!,
who placed the money on the counter, bat the nrisoner
said that was not the price. The decealed said to wit-
ness, " It's all right, is it not ?" and leaning upon the
counter endeavoured to persuade the prisoner that he
had paid for it. She said that he had not, and should
not have it till he paid 20. ; and patting her hand to-
wards his face, called him a blackguard, and told him to
be off, and that she did not went his custom. She after-
wards took up the carving knife now produced, and cut
a bit of the meat off, telling witness that he had cut too
much, and he then saw he:. strike the deceased with the
carving knife, saying, at the same time, " There's the
ha'porth for you." The deceased clapped his hand to
his breast, and the witness then saw the blood gush out
between his fingers.
In cross-examination he said that the deceased did use
abusive language to the prisoner.
The magistrate was informed that the surgeons were
that day making their post merlon examination prepara-
tory to the inquest being held, aid he remanded the pri-
soner for a week.

WANDSWORTH.
OVER-VIGOROUS ExECUTOBS.—Mr. Richard Brown,
of 7, Chanel-street, Edgware-road, baker, and Mr.
Edward Den, of 18, Titehtield-Areet, Marylebone,
agent, were charged with baying broken into the house
of Ellen Darby, a pour widow living in the Bridge-
road, Battersea.
Mrs. Darby, who is an aged woman, very deaf, and
who was greatly agitated, said that about half past ten
that morning the two prisoners and another man came
with a van to take her goads away. She had rented the
house for 33 years, and had paid her last quarter's rent.
Brown Priding. the street-door fostered, took a pickaxe
from Dell and broke it open, as also anothet inner door.
She previously told him not to do it, and to go to her
solicitor.
Mr. CLIVE wished to kiiow why the defendants should
have resorted to so extraordinary a proceeding.
The complainant said that her son, who had been for
some time insane, died ou the 27th of August, and made
a will, leaving to a worivn he was living with, and her
sister, a house in James-street, Chelsea, and some of the
furniture in her (complainant's) house. She had a lien
of 61. upon the furniture, and she hed been told by her
solicitcr to resist any attempt on the part of tho execa-
tors to obtain pos.cssion.
The defendant (Brown) said, be was ore of the execu-
tors, and produced a probate of the will. He arid he
had been aathoi;sed to do what he did by Mr. Tibb.?,
o: Doctor's Commons, who told him if he found the aront
door closed to force it open with his foot.
Mr. CLIVE said Mr. Tibbs was wrong in giving such
advice, and defendant equally so in following it.
Joseph Larkin, a neighbour, said, had he not fetched
the police the poor woman would have been dept:vad of
everything.
Mr. ants remerkrd, that it was monstrous for the
defendaats to supporn they could force a door open with
. s pickaxe; and the consequence of this proceeding on
their part would be, that if the complainant thought fit
to bring an rition against them a jury would give very
h^avy damages. The only question he had to deal with
was the act of wilful damage, and to ascertain the amnunt
done he would remand them to Wednesday, and they
must find good bi4l. to sprar on that day.
It was ultinaataly arranged that the defendants should
enter into their own recognisances of 10/. each to appee
on Wednesday, and in the meantime, if the damage wee
repaired, and the complainant satisfied, there would be
no necessity for their attendance. •
HAMMERSMITH.
MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Two labouring men, named
Arthur Keefe and David M00..e, were finally examined
on a charge of having been concerned with a third man
not in custody, in committing the following murderous
assault.
David Molly, who appeared in a very weak state, de-
posed that he lived at No. 14, Stephen street, Lisson-
grove, and was foreman over the labourers in the employ
of Messrs. Wright and Co., cement manufacturers,
Blackiriars. The prisoners, who had also been in
Messrs. Wright's employ,•but had been discharged about
a fortnight before, came on Tuesday, the 29th ult., to
the new buildings in the Clarendon-road, Kensington-
park, Notting-hill, where witness is employed, with a
third man, who is not yet in custody. The prisoner
Moore said he wanted to speak to witness in the kitchen.
Witness told him he must do so outside the building.
Moore then complained of having been discharged
through witness, and made a blow at him with his fist, bat
missed striking him. He ran away, when Moore took up
a piece of quartering, three feet long and two or three
inches thick,.and ran after witness, as did Keefe and the
third man, Keefe throwirg a large stone at him, which
struck him on the right ear. After chasing him some
distance, they at length came up to him, and drove him
into a portico of one of the houses, where they beat him
dreadfully, and after they had knocked him down he was
kicked by Keefe in his left side; he was afterwards
kicked by all of them on different parts of his body. He
cried out for assistance, and on the prisoners seeing
persons coming, they all ran off. He had since kept
his bed tripe days, and still felt the effects of the in-
