COLONIAL MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The markets for most descriptions of raw and manufactured
goods, continue in a buoyant and promising appearance, and
the most sanguine expectations are indulged that, in the event
of the country not being again placed in a state of excitement
by the defeat and resignation of Ministers on the Irish Church
Temporalities Bill, the condition of the working and other
classes of the country will be materially improved by the in-
creased demand for manufactured goods, not only for home use
but for exportation.
The advices from the Continental markets, received yester-
day and to-day, notice an increased demand there for Sugar,
Coffee, &c., at advanced prices.
In British Plantation Sugar there is not much doing, and
prices are less buoyant than other articles. The deliveries
from the West India Dock last week were nearly 1,900 hhds ;
Brown Jamaicas have been sold at 51s. (id. to 525. ; and low
middling at 525. to 535. per cwt.

The demand for Foreign Sugar has rather improved to-day,

THE TEA TRADE.—Since the declaration for the Corn-
pany's sale of Teas was issued last week, there has been an
active demand for Boheas at a profit of 9.d. per lb. on the last
sale prices. Other Teas are firm.

COFFEE.—The favourable accounts of the markets on the
continent have increased business in foreign Coffees. Jamaicas
are extremely high, for the finest not less than ll9s. to 1245.
per cwt. is demanded, and for low middling 38s. to 108 s. East
India Coffees are in demand ; Mocha sells more freshly.
COCOA.—British plantation Cocoa is firm at an adanvce
of Bs. per cwt. noticed on Friday.
THE INDIGO SALE.—The Company's sale will conclude to.
morrow. The purchases for home consumption have been
numerous; this is another proof of the activity which exists
in trade.

RUNL—The deliveries are on the increase for home use.
Fine Jamaicas are highest.
CorroN.—The market is less brisk than last week, specula-
tion not being quite so active.
WooL.—Since the last sales, the private contract business
has been large.
TALLOW.—The stock is reduced to 2,117 casks, and the
price has risen to 475. and 475. 3d. per cwt. The delivery last
week was only 837 casks.

STATE OF TRADE.—The woollen cloth
trade at Leeds and the neighbourhood continues brisk.
&ue of the merchants find it difficult to execute the or-
ders they have received at the terms prescribed, on account
of the advance in the raw material. Bradford market on
Thursday was again very brisk, the demand being still
above the supply for six-quarters werinoes, which were
bought up with avidity. Indeed the merchants say they
may command price. Wool is rapidly advancing, and the
growers hold firmly. We are informed by several wool
staplers.that wool has risen from 6/. to 71. per pack above
the price which prevailed at the corresponding period of
last year; and it is expected that 2s. per lb. will soon be
realized. Some fine sorts sold for Is. I ld. on Thursday.
Much apprehension exists lest this rapid advance should
prove temporary, for in case of sudden decline, ruinous
consequences to many would be the result. The blanket
trade in Dewsbury, Llecktnondwike, and the neighbmir-
hood, continues very brisk ; but there is still a compl 'int
of want of profit.—Leeds Intelligencer.

The signal success obtained by the Pedroite
fleet in the capture of the Portuguese squadron at Cape
St. Vincent, diffused general joy in the city yesterday—no
event since the landing of Don PEDRO at Oporto preduced
so strong a sensation as that which has been just an-
nounced, coming as it did in an official shape, instead of
being preceded by any vague rumours by which public
expectation might have been kept in a state of suspense
by no means agreeable. We understand that Lord Dux-
nn/cam) (late Lord COCHRANE) recommended to the
notice of Don PEDRO Admiral NAPIER, as being an officer
;cost likely to be of service to the cause of the young
QUEEN, from his enterprising disposition, and that his ap
poinctnent to the command of the squadron was very much
owing to the interest thus used in his favour. His Lord-
ship was one of the first persons mare acquainted with the
joyous intelligence, and it is said that his feelings were
worked up to an extraordinary pitch of excitement on the
occasion.

The arrangements for lighting Dorchester with
gas are in a very forward state. The main pipes have
been laid throughout the principal streets; and every
thing is so far advanced that .it is confidently said that
the town will be lighted by ►his superior mode in the first
week of October.

POT .!(E IN

111ARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GROSS OuTuaGE.—Mrs. Murray, of No. 29, Arunfh,l-
street, Strand, a young widow lady, whose appearance
indicated great respectability, was yesterday brought before
1-Ir. DYER, the sitting Magistrate, upon the following
charge:—
George Cummins, policeman, C 98, said, as he was oo
luty about twelve o'clock on Sunday evening, in the Hly.
market, the defendant came up to him, and, without saying
t word, struck him a blow in the face. For this assault
he caused her to be taken to the station-house, and had to r
locked up.
Mrs. Murray, who appeared greatly agitated, said sl,e
had to complain of the most infamous treatment from th,,
police. Her youngest sister, who was present in the
office, came to spend th 3 day with her on Sunday, and
having to go to another sister at the West•end of the
town, where she resided, she determined, as it was rather
late, upon accompanying her part of the distance. They
left her residence in Arundel-street about twelve o'clock,
and when in Suffolk street East, the policeman, C 98,
came up to her, threw his arms around her neck, and
thrust his band into her bosom. She pushed him off
indignantly, and with some warmth said, " What do yen
mean by this conduct, you insolent fellow ? If you do
not know your duty, you ought to be taught it. I shall
take your number, and complain of this treatment."
The policeman said, " Oh, you want my number, do
you ? Then I'll take you to a place where you shall get
it, and in the morning I'll have you fined by the ma-
gistrates." He then pushed her before him with the
greatest violence, and so continued to drive her forward in
this public manner, when, overcome by terror at the
brutality she was experiencing, she screame i for assist-
ance. Another policeman came forward, whom she
implored to protect her, stating her willingness to go
any where, so that she was not left alone with the other
policeman. Policeman C 98 insisted upon going to the
station-house, and defendant accordingly proceeded with
the C 67 policeman to the Vine-street station, and a
charge of assault was made by the first policeman, ant
entered by Inspector Drew. She stated to the inspector
the real circumstances of the case—informed him of the
gross assault she had sustained, and begged him to send
to her residence, and ascertain her respectability, or
at least acquaint her friends with her situation. The in-
spector, however, would take the charge of the policeman,
and she was then taken and thrust into a filthy dungeon,
amongst a number of the lowest description of drunken
women, whose horrible imprecations and conduct so over-
came her, that she went into strong hysterics. She con-
tinued relapsing into fits until about four o'clock, when
her mother came in the utmost consternation to the sta-
tion house, to know what was to be done, having been
unformed of the occurrence by her other daughter. The
officer on duty then was Inspector Abrahams, who c !n-
-sented to take her mother's bail for her appearance, and
she was released.

Mrs. Murray said that while she was in confinement a
policeman, she had learnt, had called at her residence,
and had made some most offensive inquiries.
Inspector Abrahams said he did not think tie lady
would have been locked up, had she not cried a great deal
and mad.. much more noise while the charge was being
heard. When she fainted, however, he took care that
she had a doctor sent foe, and every proper attention paid
her.

Ails. Murray—Yes, you are the inspector who put a
bill into my hands thi; morning for one guinea, as the
charge for the medical attendance which I exprienced.
MI I had was a little ether in a tea cup.

Miss F. Maddox corroborated the statement of her
sister, Mrs. Murray, as far as related to the indecent
attack by the policeman in Suffolk-street, and the sob-
sequent violence used towards her. As soon as she saw her
sister under the protection of the second policeman, she
took a hackney coach and drove to Arundel street, to
acquaint her mother with what hid occurred.
Policeman C 67 said he ran into the Haymarket on
hearing some one scream, and the moment he made his
appearance, the Imy laid hold of his arm, and begged him
to protect her. She accompanied him without any hesi_
tation to the station•house. .

Mr. DYER had no hesitation in avowing his to•al dis-
belief of the charge made by policeman C 98, and as In
considered that the statement of Mrs. Murray was com-
pletely confirmed by her undoubted respectability, and
the evidence she bad produced, he should direct the clerk
to take down her charge upon oath, for the purpose
holding the policeman Cummins to bail for the assault.
Mr. Fitzpatrick inquired if the lady had not another
charge to make?
Mrs. Murray said she had intended to have made a
charge respecting the loss of a valuable ring, which
she had been robbed of while in the station-house, but
she did not wish to say anything further at present on
that subject, having reques►ed Inspector Abraham; to offer
a reward for the recovery of it.
Inspector Abrahams said it was, perhaps, likely that
some of the girls who were in the lock-up room, and
,vlio assisted her during her fainting, had drawn it off her
finger.

;Irs. Murray said she did not believe that was the way
in which she bad been robbed of her ring. It must have
been taken off her finger when her gloves were removed,
And they, she believed, had been taken from her hands by
some of the police.

THE LORDS OPPOSED TO CHEAP JUSTICE.
—The House of Lords has rejected the Local Courts Bill
—a Bill which gave to the people an opportunity of ob-
taining justice somewhat more cheaply than before, to an
extent of 501. only ; for the jurisdiction of the proposed
new Courts was not intended to embrace higher sums.
Coe House of Lords have rejected the third reading of
this Bill by a majority of proxy votes ; for it is a fact not
mote strange than true, that the number of Lords pre-
sent, for and against the measure, were, on the first divi-
sion, of precisely the same amount-81 : the Bill was,
then, defeated by the abuse which admits of a Peer send-
ing his vote to the House in the pocket of another, to be
employed upon questions upon tilts merits of which he is
too idle to attempt to inform himself by a personal attend-
ance. The only argument which the mover of the amend-
,nent, Lord WHARNCLIFFE, siw fit to offer, in justification
of the course he adopted, was, that " in all cases of as-
sault, libel, slander, or personal quarrels of any kind, par-
ties well knowing that they had at their hands the ready
neans of commencing actions, would be also sure to do
so, and petty suits would be multiplied without end."
Hear to the wisdom of Lord WHARNCLIFFE! It is of the
rue aristocratic character. The rich man may rejoice in
the wide field of litigation ; the poor must not follow him
there. If under a system of cheap justice, petty suits of
assault, libel, and slander would be multiplied without
end, it follows that the poor are now assaulted, libelled,
and slandered without end, because justice is not cheap ;
which is, in our estimation, a better argument in favour
of the Bill than against it. The arguments employed by
Lord LYNDHURST were, we freely admit, of a better de-
scription ; and though many of them were completely dis-
proved by the LORD CHANCELLOR, we have no hestta-
Con in stating that the ex-Chancellor pointed out several
defects which might have been remedied to advantage,
though, if suffered to remain, not of sufficient importance
to warrant the rejection of the measure. The decision
cannot be looked on in any other light than that of a
party victory. The Lords are opposed to cheap justice
as they are opposed to everything calculated to prove
t benefit to the country ; and the rejection of the Local
Courts Bill may serve to indicate the degree of favour
which it is likely the Irish Church Reform Bill will
receive at their hands, on its second reading. It
It appears to us little short of folly to expect any favour
towards that measure from the hands of the Lords ; they
will reject the Bill, or make it yet more inefficient. It
is now evident to every man but a few distracted Tories
that the people and the Peers, yoked together as they are
by the theory of the Constitution, are, practically, waking
at paces unequal to each other. The first is a racer, al
blood and nerve, straining forward, and intent on nothing
but the winning-post; the second is the old state horse,
accustomed to one dull, sluggish pace, and with his
houghts evidently occupied with nothing beyond his
~ersonal security and ease,—his gilded trappings and his
well-filled corn-bin. There are but two ways of saving
'he poor old horse from being hung in his harness ; he
must accommodate his paces to those of his more active
companion, or some kind hand must cut the traces which
hind them together. It is impossible that the people
should submit to be eternally wronged to pleasure a kw

ARREST OF A MURDERER.—Captain SIN-
GLETON, Chief Magistrate, has fully committed to Mary-
wrough gaol PATRICK WHELAN, charged with the
murder of Mr. JOHN BAILY, on the lands of Inch, near
Stradbally, in the month of March, 1832, and for which
off•nce JOHN DELANY was found guilty at the special
commission and executed. Mr. BALLY was shot in open
!ay whilst superintending his men ; and, although mortally
wounded, fought hand to band with the assassins, until
he fell from loss of blood and covered with wounds. This
Alagistrate has also committed to Marybor?ugh a noted
