MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 27.)
SUGAIL—To-day importers of raw Sugar exhibited
greater firmness, and a further decrease was apparent in
the quantity brought to market, of both free and slave
labour sorts; the tendency of prices are also upwards for
all kinds. West India was in excellent request for
home consumption and realized an advance of 6rl
per cwt on former rates, whilst the quantity sold
was 720 hhds, Sic. At public sale 74.1thds of Barbadoes
were taken in, fine yellow at 40s to 41s, middling and
good 36s 6d to 37s 6d per cwt. The market for Raw
Sugar closes with a firm aspect, and the sales of West
India for the week reach 2.999 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were dealt in with
greater freedom for home:6lde purposes, and realized
better prices, brown grocery lumps were sold at 47s Gd
to 48s, and Standard lumps 49s per cwt. In Bonded
Crushed Sugar there is no variation In the state of busi-

ness or in prices.-

from 14s to 17s. Of Cuba 200 puns sold at 16. In
Bengal Treacle a large business has been concluded,
but at the low rates of 15s to 15s 6d, and exporters were

increased quantity is on offer, the demand continues to
diminish for all sorts. Congou is offered rather under
former rates, dealers operate with reluctance; ordinary

to Bd. middling Sid to lid, good middling and good
1144 to Is lire fine is 24 to Is sd, pekoe

tion, and sellers are willing to accept 8d to 94 for com-
mon, Is to is 6d for middling and good, and Is 8d to
2s 6o for better sort. The value of Pouchong is 4d to
8 few buyers are to be met with. There is much dull-
ness in the market for Green, whilst quotations tend
downwards.
SPICES.—BIack Pepper met with leas attention even
than last week, whilst prices tend downwards, as there
is a fair amount on offer. At auction 1,560 bags of
Sumatra were offered seurid, was nearly all taken in at
2-,id for good clean black, and at 24d for grey, but da-
maged sold at lid to 24d; 389 bags went at 2d to 2id

from 4d to 9d according to quality; not much demand ex-
perienced this week. The value of Cayenne is 10d to
2s, and of African Pod 30. to 60s per cwt. Prices con-
tinue to rule under that time. Of Pimento the supply is
extremely small; there ate several buyers, whilst the
rates paid are 4id to 5d per lb. Of Cassia Lignea there
is still scarcely any here, and prices are nominal at 903
to }JOs per cwt. Cassia Buds find a dull sale at-661etc, 70e.

proving demand. For. Mace there is more demand this
week at is 10d to 2s 6d, and fine 2. 84 to 2s 10d. At
auction one case of wild realised is 6d. In Nutmegs
several purchase* have been made in the private market,
and at firm rates. For Ginger the market is quiet. Of
Jamaica 83 pkgs at auction were disposed'of.
RlCE.—There has been rather more disposition mani-
fested to make purchases in all sorts of East India
during the hest few days, and full rates have been paid
quoted for white Bengal, but other kinds must be' a little
cheaper. By private contract a fair extent of business

JAMAICA..
REVIEW OF MARKETS.
(From Dc Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
Another fortnight has passed since our last issue, and
we regret extremely to state that instead of being able
to report even a trifling improvement in the state of
trade, era are compelled to note increasing dulness in
every branch of commerce. Matters are daily growing
worse and worse. We have made it a point of duty, on
this occasion especially, to gather the statements of all
classes of persons—merchants, storekeepers, trades•
People, mechanics, and labourers—and the result of our
inquiries has been one universal tale of gloom and dis-
aster. We do not believe that there is any person in
England who has ever considered the subject who is not
conscious that the most deplorable state of affairs is
consequent upon the manner in which this island, in
common with the other colonies of Great Britain has
been treated by the mother country. There is no
o
doubt whatever that bad as the principle of Fr
Trade has proved itself, so far as these islands are
concerned, its partial application has been worse a
hundredfold. And there is but one remedy for our
distress in the absence of that protection N% hie!' has
been denied us. There is but one means by
which England can remoro at least some portion of tho

evil she has inflicted. We allude to the unrestricted ad-
mission of colonial sugar into the home markets. The
colonists make this demand in the shape of a claim upon
England, and while they clamour for it as the only
means of their salvation, of their redemption fromutter
ruin, they base their arguments on the most solid and
were foundation on which it is possible to build up a
case for compensation—tbe basis of justice. Slavery is
unknown in Jamaica ; it was abolished by the mighty
will of England Free labour, as has been proved be-
fore a Committee of the House of Commons, and as is
obviously evident, is dearer by far than slave labour ;
notwithstanding which, the British Governmert; has
determined to admit foreign slave-grown sugar at the
same rate of duty as is charged on British free-labour
sugar, by which uct England not only drives the produce
of her own sons' industry out of her markets, after tak-
ing from them the means of competition, but actually
offers a high bonus for the continuance of a traffic
which she has abolished in her own soil, and which she
declares to be inhuman and illegal. Her ostensible
object in this measure is purely and entirely the
comfort of the English labourer, who must have cheap
sugar, at least so we understand it, for we cannot sup-
pose that a nation like the English could have been
swayed by the consideration of commerce with the slave.
trading countries, at the expense of her colonies, and in
opposition to the interests of humanity. Now, the ad-
mission of colonial sugar into the home markets duty
free will be of material advantage to the English labourer,
and will do no harm to any interest except the revenue;
and England must make up the deficiency a hick this
must cause from some other source, if she wishes to pre-
vent an abandonment of these islands; and for this simple
reason—if we do not export, we cannot pay either for
our clothing and other necessaries, or for the mainte-
nance of our institutions. We are already in an awful
state of poverty, and unless something be done, and that
speedily, for the benefit of the colony, the result will be
that every one who can leave the British colonies to seek
a home in the land of the stranger will do so. Heaven
help those who cannot! If, on the other hand, our sugar
be admitted duty free, there wili still be a glimmering of
hope for us. We may then be permitted, post tenebras
lucent sperare, to look forward to the blessing of a calm
after a storm under which we are now being wrecked
shall have passed away.
The business of the past fortnight has been marked
by increasing dulness. It is found impossible to effect
anything like large sales of any article, and a cloud
seems to hang over any attempt at business. If some-
thing be not speedily done for the colonies it is im-
possible to say what will be the result of the present
stagnation.
Flour—ln our last we noticed that prices were tending
downwards; at low as•3os. had been accepted for New
Orleans, and 32e. for Baltimore, while Alexandria and
Georgetown had been disposed of in lots at 35a., and for
a lot of 350 barrels to arrive in the Glamorgan from
Baltimore 31s. was accepted. After the sailing of the
last steamer the prices ranged as follows:—New Or-
leans, 30s. to 315.; Baltimore, 325. to 335.; Georgetown,
355. On the arrival of the home packet, which brought
the news of the potato disease having again broken out
in Ireland, some little excitement occurred in the flour
market, and holders of Baltimore and New Orleans are

now asking from 2s. to 4s. advance on the above prices.
We have not, however, heard of any sales at these rates.
Meal-200 barrels Georgetown have been sold at 18s.
The stock is light.
Rice—The 300 bags E. 1., reported in our last as sold
to arrive at 11i. 6d. per 100Ibs., proved in landing to be
of mixed qualities, and a reduction was made to 16s. for
broken Bengal, and 15s. fur best Madras. E. I. may
now be quoted at 16s. 6J., with a light stock. Caro-
lina, of which the supply is heavy, is dull at 19s per
1001bs.
Bread—The stock is enormous, and it is extremely
difficult to effect sales, owing principally to the inability
of the labourers to purchase, the want of employment
compelling them to subsist on the:produce of their
grour.ds. 375 barrels New Orleans navy and rilot have
been sold at 13s. per barrel. The article may be quoted
excessively dull at 12s. to 14s. for pilot, and 13s. for

navy.
gutter—The stock of United States and of Nova Sco-
tian is heavy. Irish is moved at 1 I id. per lb., but only
in very quantities. Bd. to BAd. and 9J. have been
obtained lor United States in small lots. Nova Scotian
may be quoted at Bd. The last mentioned description
is much complained of as having been put 'up -with too
much salt.
Lard—A. small parcel of very superior quality brought
7d. per lb. There is not any now at market but what is
soft and inferior. Prime is wanted and would command
7fd, per lb.
Pork—American prime :(rumps) has been placed at
60s. ter barrel, prime mess at 665, and mess 70s. per bar-
rel. There is nothing to report in Irish.
Hams--American, of superior quality, have been sold
in small lots at 7kd. per lb.
Cheese—D. G. is worth 11d. and American 6d.
Brandy—Martell's dark commands ss. 6d. in bond.
Tobacco—Cavendish is very scarce, and much wanted.
Rum—Proof 21 has been taken at 3s. 9d., equal to
29. 3d. for exportation. We quote 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. for
consumption.
Sugar—Ranges from 15s. 6d. for dark, to 19s. to 20s.
for fair.

Corn—Carthagena yellow sells in small lots at 3s. per
bushel.
Peas—Carthagena lslack-eyed change hands in trifling
quantities at Os. per bushel.
Pimento is freely offered at 2d. per lb.
EXCHANGES ON LONDON.—Commissariat bills, 30
days, not under lt per cent. premium ; Colonial' flank,
90 days, 1 per cent. premium ; Jamaica Bank, 90 days,
1 per cent premium.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Dc fore Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Justice WICHTMAY.)
TRIAL OF MULLINS, TILE CHARTIST.
(Contiuued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The witness (Powell) underwent, as on the previous
occasions,.a very severe cross-examination. He said he
went by the name of Johnson among the Chartist body.
Ile joined them for the purpose of communicating to the
police what was going on, and he did, from the begin-
ning of his connexion with the Chartists, communicate
to the police everything that was done. Besides the
name of Johnson, he said he might have been called by
the name of Robinson by some of the Chartists, and he
said he told them they might call him what name they
pleased. He was questioned as to his connexion with a
gambling booth at the races, and he admitted that he
had acted as a " decoy duck " upon one occasion to in-
duce other persons to gamble. He said that some money
was given to him, and he was nodded to when he was to
put money on the board, and he was aware that he was
not playing in reality, but merely to induce others to
play. He then went through the story he told on the
former occasions about his having walked matches as
the " Welsh Novice," for the purpose of drawing custom
to a public-house, but he denied having betted upon any
of them, and said that he received no other remuneration
than refr,sbment. He said he went to America some
years ago for the benefit of his health, and did not in-
form either his wife or his father of his intention to do
so, but he denied most positively that he bad committed
a forgery upon his father before he started. He denied
having told a man named Watson that he had com-
mitted a forgery upon his father, or that he wanted
him to watch some people who were passing bad
money, and told him if he did so, and was a witness for
the police, he would get 3s. 6d. a day. He admitted
having told a man named Osborn that he could point
him out a man who would make him a pike. lie denied
ever having said that he should not go ad.& witness any
more for the police, for he only got 3s. 6d. a day, and he
could get more money from the thieves. He likewisedenied
that upon an occasion, when a man named Pennell told
him they should never get the Charter by violence, he
replied that the Government was a weak Government,
and that they would blow Lord John Russell and Sir G.
Grey to hell within a month. He said that he did not
believe he had stated to a man named Bennett that be
bad arranged a plan to take the Artillery-ground, and
that he would carry it out if three or four more would
join with him, but he would not state positively that he
had not done so. He said that he was present at the
meeting in Bonner's-fields, and he would not deny that
he went about among the crowd and asked if they
were armed, or that he did not say to a man
named Green that he was not worth a as a
Chartist if he had not got arms. He said he knew a
man named Westmoreland, but he did not remember
telling him that he had organized a plan for taking
London and carrying out physical-force operations.
He denied that a plan shown to him was one which he
had himself made, and which he had shown to West-
moreland when he made the statement to him. He ad-
mitted that he had carried pistols and a sword about
with him, and said that he did so to protect himself, and
he also said that he had made a great number of ball-
cartridges, but that he did so for Gurney, one of the
conspirators, and he also said that while this man was in
custody he went to the cell where he was confined, and
told him that if he would give evidence for the police. in
this case, he would be paid a guinea a week for the rest
of his life, but he said he did to upon his own responsi-
bility, and without any authority from the police
authorities, and his object was to induce him to give
evidence. The witness, in conclusion, declared, that he
had come forward upon this occasion on his own respon-
sibility, and that he did not expect any reward for what
he had done.
Mr. Wilson, the landlord of the Black Jack, was then
called to prove that a room in his house was engaged by
Rose, on the 17th of July, for the purpose of a trade
committee meeting,
George Davis, the other approver, was, next examined,
and he repeated the evidence given by him on the former
trial. Ile stated that he joined the VVat Tyler brigade of
Chartists at Greenwich on the 24th of May, and he said he
was present at a meeting of Chartists at the George in the
Old Bailey on the 10th of July, the day on which Ernest
Jones was tried in this court for sedition. About 20
persons were present, and the prisoner was among them,
and after a short time he said it was a shame that the
prisoners should go to prison without some attempt
being made to rescue them; and he added that the van
would go through Cow-cross on its way to Coldbath
fields, and that it would be a good place to attack it,
and he said he knew a friend, who he understood to be
a man named Daly, who would lead out the Irish living
in the neighbourhood for that purpose. The witness
went on to say that he was present at the meeting at
the Black Jack public-house on the 20th of July, and
said he saw Powell, whom he knew by the name of
Johnson, present, and he confirmed his evidence as to
what took place on the occasion, and particularly as to
the fact of the prisoner being appointed one of the ul-
terior or secret committee.
Inspector Mark, of the R division of pace, was
here examined, and he stated that he was in communi-
cation with the last witness upon the subject of the
Chartist proceedings, and that he reduced to writing
the statements he made to him, which he signed, sifter-
wards. He added, that he knew nothing of 'Powell at
the time he was in communication with the witness Da-
vis. He identified some documents put into his hand as
the same he so drew up.
The ATTORNEY. GENERAL then proposed to put these
papers into the hands of the witness Davis, to refresh
his memory.
Mr. PARRY objected to this being done, but
The COURT ruled that the course suggested by the
Attorney-General could be adopted.
The witness Davis was then recalled, and the papers
were put into his hand for the purpose stated by the
Attorney-General, and he continued his evidence, giv-
ing the details of the various meetings at which he was
present, when the prisoner and the other persons men-
tioned by the witness Powell took part in the proceed.
ings. He stated that the prisoner at one of the meet-
ings proposed that barricades should be erected from
Tottenham-court-road to the Seven Dials, and that the
whole of the Seven Dials should be barricaded ; and
Holborn should be barricaded to a brewhouse at the
corner of Liquorpond-street, which they were to make
themselves masters of ; and then they were to barricade
St. Martin's. le-Grand, and to take possession of St.
Paul's Cathedral, and if they could not do so they were
to burn it. They were then to go to Doctor's commons,
and along the back streets to the Temple, pulling down
Temple-bar, and erecting a barricade thereon. Thence
they were to go to Somerset-house, and then to Covent-
garden, sad so round to the Seven Dials again. The
prisoner also suggested that when the barricades were
erected the stones should be placed diamond fashion,
and that a portion of their body should be specially em-
ployed to break open the gunsmith's shops and fire the
houses and other premises. At the time of these pro-
ceedings, Brewster, who took an active part in them,
was a special constable in the service of the East India
Company. He likewise said at another meeting, when
a proposition was made to break open the prisons, it was
stated by Lacy that the men of Westminster did not
require any assistance in this respect, for that the re-
spectable inhabitants of Duck-lane and Pye.street had
friends within the prisons were Ernest Jones and their
other friends were confined, and they were as
anxious to
get them out as they could be themselves.—(A laugh.)
After the witness had given some further evidence,
the Court adjourned, the jury being taken, as on the
former occasion, to the London Coffee-house, in charge
of an officer.
Just before the Court adjourned, Mr. Harker,the
chief usher, stated that while the jury had retired to
take refreshment in the middle of theday the coat of
one of them had been stolen from the jury 1; ox.
s.

NE IT COURT.
William Parsons, aged 44, plasterer, was indicted for
stealing the sum of 301., the property of Sarah Adams.
The prosecutrix stated herself to be a servant out of
place, having last been in service in Paris, where she
had saved up the sum named in the indictment, On 'the
3d of October she arrived in this country, and met the
prisoner in the New-cut, and asked him if he could re-
commend her a lodging; upon which he took her to a
lodging house in Whitehorse-street. After she had been
in bed a sbort time, she saw him come into the room and
take her pocket, containing the money, with which he
went cff before she could stop him. On the following
morning she informed the keeper of the lodging-house,
and gave such information as led to the prisoner's
apprehension.

The other evidence proved, that when the prisoner
introduced the woman to the lodging he did not make
any secret of who he was, but, on the contrary, told the
daughter of the lodging-house keeper that he was a
member of the same club that her father belonged to,
which turned out to be true. _

The police having pri;;;d that when the prisoner was
charged the prosecutor offered to compromise the matter
for a sum of money; and the other testimony not being
at all conclusive, the Common Sergeant directed the
jury to Acquit the prisoner.
James flare, aged 37, mercer, and Charles Rehden, 20,
collector, were indicted, the former upon four charges of
larceny, and the latter with receiving the property,
knowing it to have been stolen, and also with harbour-
ing and assisting the first-named prisoner in the com-
mission of the offences.

Mr. Ballantyne defended the prisoner, and Mr. Clark
son prosecuted. .

obtaining goods upon sale or return, which he pawned
as soon as in his possession. Information of his depre-
dations having ;been given to the police, Hayden and
Webb, two officer,s of the City, were instructed to ap-
prehend Hare. On the 3d of October Haydon re-
ceived a communication from Rehden, requesting
him to meet him at the Red Lion public-house in
St. John-street, where he would give him information
that would lead to the recovery of the greater portion of

told him, that, if he would give him three sovereigns,
he would give him information that would en-

Haydon upon that gave him the money, which he had
