PRICE OF SIIGA.II.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, the
produce of the East Indies. computed from the returns made
in the week ending Jan. 6, 1846, is 365. 90. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, of Jan. 9.)
SucAn.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were
more inclined to realize, but submitting to a reduction
on former rates of 6d to is per cwt, tempted buyers to
operate with more freedom, and in grocery and refining
descriptions a fair business was transacted ; the better
qualities were, however, the most in request.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 3,838 bags;
the trade were desirous to operate, and nearly the whole
sold at full rates. Privately 3,000 bags of Dobah have
been disposed of at 50s to 58s, but principally at 52s to
53s per cwt for coloury soft yellow.
FORElGN.—Although importers of yellow llavannah
are sellers at a further decline in prices, still buyers have
been cautious in their proceedings, and by private con-
tract little business has been transacted ; at auction
1517 boxes have been offered--the damaged amounting
to 380 boxes were sold, but at rates exhibiting a decline
on those of the highest point of the market, of
4s to 5s per cwt. White is neglected, and
it is difficult to quote prices with accuracy.
There are sellers of white Brazil upon further re-
duced terms, still the business transacted has been ex-
tremely limited, and only 50 chests of middling Bahia
have been disposed of 25s per cwt. Brown has been
purchased with caution, by exporters and our refiners
working under bond, although there are sellers at a fur-
ther reduction of prices. The market for other descrip-
tions of foreign qas a dull appearance, and prices are on
the decline.
REFINED.—To day Refined Goods! were not much in
demdnd for home consumption, still Standard Lumps
could not be ob:ained under 655, and brown grocery 64s
per cwt. . _

MAURITIUS.—A considerable improvement has taken
place in the demand this week for yellow, grey, and the
better descriptions of brown, prices have risen 6d to Is
per cwt, although the market has been more liberally
sudplied; common brown has however met with little
attention, but at present cannot be quoted cheaper.
. COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was wanted,
but the stiff rates asked by the merchants operated
against business, and at auction 1,680 bags were chiefly
taken in rather above the value, that is to say, good or-
dinary pale at 50s. The part sold went at full
prices— real good ordinary pale selling at 50s to
51s, good ordinary 49s 6d, low ord ragged 455. sea da-
aged 32s 6d to 525, country damaged 43s 6d to 46s 6d,
triage 40s, low 26s black 12s to 13s. Of British Plan-
tation 76 casks and 34 barrels were offered, but taken in
at stiffer rates, viz. Demerara fine ordinary grey at 48s
!o 50s, low middling colory 565, Berbice middling 665,
fine fine ordinary 545, fine ordinary 47s to 50s, good
ordinary 455, low ordinary 425, triage 30s. 28 barrels
of Rio fetched 60s 6d for middling heavy blue.
TEA—Although there are further arrivals, still mer-
chants manifest firmness, and refrain from offering any
at public sale ; the trade have come forward with in-
creased freedom, and an advance in the value of nearly
every kind has taken place. In Congou extensive pur-
chases have been made, especially in the common and
middling descriptions, a further advance in prices
has taken place. Pouchong has been in ex-
cellent, and prices are on the advance. Twankay has
been in good demand, and prices arc looking up, the
supply at market being small, There has been a large
business transacted in Hyson, the low rates that prevail
tempted the ,trade to get in stock ; the prices paid ev.
hibit an advance on those previously quoted at 2d per
lb. In Gunpower the business transacted has been upon
a more extended scale, but in the value little variation at
present has taken place Imperial has been sold to a fair
extent. Young Hyson is wanted. In Hyson Skin
the operations have been ona snore extended scale.
Flowery Pekoe is more wanted.
MOLASSES.—To-day West India met with attention,
and brought rather higher rates ; 70 puns of good An-
tigua were sold at 24s per cwt.
Cocoa.—There has been little desire shown to pur-
chase any description of West India, and although the
market has been scantily supplied, still a decline in the
value of is to 2s per cwt has taken place. Foreign is
dull of sale, and there are sellers by private treaty upon
lower terms.

SPlCES.—lmporters of Malabar Pepper have been de-
sirous to realise this week, but submitting to a reduction
on former rates of id per pound has occasioned the de-
mand to be good. In Sumatra and Penang a fair busi-
ness has been transacted by private treaty, in conse-
quence of rather lower rates having been accepted.
The limited business transacted privately in Nutmegs
has been at prices showing a decline on those previously
quoted of 2d per lb. Mace has been purchased with cau-
tion privately, and prices are on the decline. In
Cassia Lignea the operations have been more extensive.
In Pimento several purchases have been made privatety,
and the rates paid have been rather above those previ-
ously quoted.
The market is still scantily supplied.
Ginger at present is not much wanted by exporters or
the home trade, but holders are not inclined to take
lower rates, and supply
the market scantily. Cloves are
held with firmness, and a fair business has been trans-
acted. Holders of Cinnamon are not inclined to take
lower rates for any description.

SACO.—There has been a brisker demand, and pri-
vately several parcels have beendisposed of at the f)r-
naer currency: the supply is less than it was. At auction
60 chests were sold at 32s to 33s for good middling
sma:l white Pearl. In Sago Flour the operations have
been upon a more extended s::ale privately at'lBs to 19s
per cwt.

The quantity of Rum arrived since the commencement
of the year has been 333 puns and 553 hhds. Holders of
Leeward Island are nut inclined further to reduce their
prices; but the purchases made have been extremely
limited at 2s to 2a Id per gallon proof strength.
For Calcutta the demand has been only for
small parcels at is 11d to 2s proof with certificate.
Jamaica is not to be obtained upon lower
terms ; but the demand has been limited. The market
has a very firm appearance for all descriptions of Brandy,
and there has been a good business transacted. Geneva
has been purchased with more freedom for exportation,
and prices are firm. The value of English Corn Spirits
is lOs 6d per gallon nett cash ; but there has not been
much business done.

RlCE.—This afternoon 1,400 bags of Spanish Rice
-were offered at public sale, the sound was taken in
rather above the value; fine bold clean white at 21s, good
ditto lOs 6d to 20s, but the sea damaged sold, first class
at 17s to 17s 6d, second ditto 16s, and third ditto 14s 6d
per cwt. _

FRUIT.—The market has a dull appearance for Cur-
rants and Raisins, the grocers only taking such to supply
their immediate wants, and it is difficult to make any
sales.

COCHINEAL.—HoIders of Silvers submitting to a slight
decline on last week's rates tempted buyers to operate
with more freedom, and the parcels brought forward
were nearly all disposed of at and since the public sales.
LAC DYE.—The business transacted privately has
been upon a more extended scale, at former rates, but
not above, low sorts selling at 5d to 7d, middling 8d to
to Is, and superior is 2d to is 6d.
SALTPETRE.—The market has a firm appearance for
rough, and the quantity brought forward has been small:
purchases to a fair extent have been made privately upon
fully former terms. The rates taken for British refined
have been 30s to 30s 6d per cwt. For Nitrate of Soda the
demand has been only for small parcels at 14s 6d to 15s

per cwt.
OlLS.—This afternoon Cocoa Nut Oil met with little
attention, and at public sale 144 packages of Cochin
were only in part sold at 331 10s. for fine white, an good
331 per tun.
TURPENTINE.—Spirits have been in excellent request,
and prices rule firm at 63s to 64s per cwt, the supply
being small. Rough is wanted, and 12s 6d to 13s per
cwt are the rates paid.
TALLOW.— This afternoon at auction 221 pipes 63
hhds of South American Tallow were sold at 38s to 42s
for common to fine quality ; 341 casks of New South
Wales, fine hard 43s to 43s 3d, good 42s to 42s 6d, mid-
dling 40s to 41s 9d, low 39s 6d ; 27 casks of Odessa,
42s to 42s 6d per cwt.

by a police-constable, near the railway arches, between
Ashton-street and Travis-street. Suspicion fell upon four
men, named Samuel Scott, William Grimes, Thomas Johnson,
and John Alarchington, and they were apprehended, and,

remanded to Thursday.—Manchester Guardian.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARY LEBOIVE.

Mary Ann Judd was brought up for re-examination.
Many children who had had property stolen from
them were now in attendance, and no fewer than five
of them identified the prisoner as the person by whom
they had been plundered.
George Henry Chamberlain, a little boy, nine years
old, deposed that a few weeks ago, as he was passing
along Salisbury-street, Portman-market, with a bundle
of linen which he was carrying home to his mother, he
was accosted by the prisoner, who, after walking with
him for some minutes, asked him to go into a house in
the Edgware-road, and inquire if her husband was there,
at the same time saying that she would hold the bundle
for him, and that on his return she would give him two-
pence and an India-rubber ball ; he gave up the said
bundle to her, not thinking there was anything wrong,
and on his leaving the house and looking for the prisoner,
he found that she was gone.
The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the rob-
beries, was remanded.

Charles Wood was placed at the bar before Mr. Long
for final examination, charged with having obtained
goods from Mr. Benham, 19, Wigmore-street, Caven•
dish. square, by falsely representing that they were for
Sir William Baynes, 25, Portland place, in whose service
he had lived as butler, and was discharged from his si-
tuation a year and a half ago.
The case was proved, and the prisoner was sent for
trial. il;1,!9
William John Robinson, describing himself as a "com-
mercial agent," was charged with a violent assault upon
Richard Wilson, a master-baker, carrying on business
in Star-street, Paddington.
It appears from the evidence that on the previous
night, between ten and eleven o'clock, complainant saw
the prisoner assault two females in the New-road ; he
(complainant) remonstrated with him upon the miscon-
duct of which he had been guilty, when the prisoner
immediately struck him several times on the head with
a stick, which he had with him. Complainant added,
that he bled profusely in consequence of the blows in
question, and that as soon as he could meet with a con-
stable he gave the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner, who, in answer to the charge said that
the complainant gave him the first blow, was fined 40s.
Tho penalty was directly paid.
WORSHIP•STREET.

Georgiana Den:psey, the young sempstress who stood
charged with cutting and wounding with a table knife a
man named George Pitt, by whom she had been dis-
carded, after living with him for a considerable time as
his wife, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton,
for final examination.

It will be recollected that the prisoner, who is in an
advanced state of pregnancy, had been remanded for the
production of evidence in support of her statement, that
she had inflicted upon the prosecutor the injuries he
complained of, which were of a very trivial character,
under strong feelings of provocation, occasioned by his
having used to her a scandalous epithet.
The prosecutor still pressed the magistrate to send the
prisoner for trial, on the ground that he should have no
protection from her future violence if she were allowed
to go at large ; but
Mr. BROUGHTON said that, so far from the prisoner
having exhibited any premeditated intention to injure
him, she had exhibited the most affectionate regard for
him, notwithstanding the unfeeling conduct he had all
along pursued towards her ; and he could only attribute
the prosecutor's inveterate animosity to a desire to es-
cape from the responsibility of supporting the child, of
which she would so shortly be the mother. Her whole
conduct evinced an entire absence of malice, and as the
injuries the complainant had sustained were of a very
slight nature, he considered she had already undergone
sufficient punishment for hastily giving way to the ex-
treme provocation she had received, and he should,
therefore, order her to be discharged.
The prisoner, who was much affected, was then
liberated, to the evident satisfaction of every one in
Court.

The Magistrate announced his receipt of a letter,
enclosing the sum of 21. from H. and J. W., for the
poor-box.

LAMBETH.
Susannah Taylor, 'Vary the,, Jane Smith, and
Ann White were charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton
with wilfully breaking two panes of glass, of the value
of 65., at Lambeth Workhouse.
George Newland, the gate-porter at Lambeth Work-
house, deposed that, about half-past twelve o'clock on
that day, he found the prisoners, who were perfect
strangers to him, and who did not belong to the parish,
in the small office, and discovered at the same time that
two squares of glass, of the value of 3s. each, were
broken. He asked who had done it, and all the pri-
soners replied that they had.
William Peplows, an inmate of the workhouse, who
acts as occasional porter at the workhouse gate, stated
that about twelve o'clock the prisoners came to the gate,
and upon his asking what they wanted, they replied
they came for relief. He then told them civilly to go
to the assistant-overseer, in another part of the building.
They went out as he thought, for that purpose, but
mediately afterwards he heard the smashing of glass,
and on opening the door he saw the prisoner Taylor
throw a stone through a pane of glass. lle asked her
why she did it, and all the prisoners replied, " We all
here did it."
The prisoners acknowledged they had broken the I
windows, but said they had not done so until they had
been refused relief, or even admittance into the work-
house.
In reply to the questions of the Magistrate, they said
they were not inhabitants of the parish of Lambeth, nor
