brought the waggon close to the footpath where the
men were standing. There was 14 feet to spare in
the road on the east side of the waggon.
Mr. Peter Gowlland, house-surgeon of the London
Hospital, said the deceased was quite dead when
brought there. All the bones of the front of the
skull were more or less driven into the brain, and five
ribs were broken.

Mr. Nathan Caustatt, surgeon, of Bevis marks, said
the deceased was his brother, and that he had iden-
tified his body.
_ _ _

The prisoner made no defence, and said he only
wanted a copy of the depositions.
Mr. YARDLBY said the prisoner was already charged
on the coroner's inquisition with manslaughter, but
after the evidence he had heard, he considered it
was his imperative duty to commit him to take his
trial on the more serious charge of wilful murder.
The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute
and give evidence.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 22.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was firmness in the market for
West India Sugar, and a good business was concluded
both by grocers and refiners at fully former rates. The
sales amounted to 450 hhds and trcs, making 2,259 fur
the week, and prices generally close 6d per cwt above
those of this day week. The market closed this after-
noon for the holidays, and will remain so until the 2d
of January, 1849.
MAURITIUS —This afternoon the demand for Mauri-
tius Sugar was good, and 1,093 bags at auction sold at
stiffer rates. There was fair spirit in the biddirgs.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Ben-
gal comprised 2,918 bags 162 cases ; they went off with
fair spirit, and at full rates, and nearly the whole sold.
FOREIGN.—To-day, at public sale, 90 cases Bahia
Sugar were so'd at stiff rates; low to good damaged
white 37s 6d to 39s 6d, and yellow 35s to 37s per cwt.
MolassEs.—West India has been in better demand
this week, but at present better prices are not to be ob-
tained—low to fine quality selling at 14s to 17s 6d
per cwt.

TEA.—Black is not offered at any further reduction in
prices. There has, however, been only a moderate busi-
ness concluded. Fine new Congou is held for Is 7d to
Is 9d per lb, and is in better supply, but there are now
few buyers. There is much dulness in the market for
Green; the supply is plentiful of almost every kind.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sale of 963 bags Planta-
tion Ceylon Coffee went with animation at higher rates.
Mocha is wanted, and 76 bales went at stiff rates. The va-
lue of good ordinary sound Native is 30s to 30s 6d per cwt,
with a firm market.
COCOA. This afternoon Cocoa was not in brisker demand,
and 406 bags Bahia at auction sold at lower rates.
RICE.—To-day East India Rica met with rather more
attention, and 2,098 bags 800 pockets Bengal at auction

SPICES.—To-day black Pepper was rather more in
demand, and 608 bags at auction sold at the full value;
good light brown at 211 to lid, grey 21d, and damaged
2d to Lid. Of Nutmegs 6 cases went at 2s 3d to 23 4d
for common brown Penang, and at 2s 7d for mid,
FEUIT.—On Thursday there were three public sales
of Currants; the first consisted of 146 butts 145 caroteels
and 203 barrels Patras, all of which were bought in at
34s for butts, 35s for caroteels, and 36: for harrels•, the
second sale consisted of 14 butts Zante, which sold at
33s to 345; and 55 butts 25 crtls Patras, principally
bought in at 34s to 355; and the third sale consisted of
143 butts 145 carotet Is and 90 barrels Cephalonia, all
bought in at 355. The market, of course, Is much de-
pressed by the above sales; but notwithstanding, many
of the importers adhere to farmer prices, as they cannot
see any reason for lowering them. Valentia Raisins
are ht good demand at 36s for the finest, and 34s to 35s
for inferior qualities. Turkey Figs are in better de-
mand this week, except the low descriptions, which are
entirely neglected. Sultanas are steady at 67s to 68s.
There is no alteration worthy of notice in Muscatels or
Prunes.

SPIRITS.—Holders of Leeward Island Rum displayed
firmness and insist upon is 4d to is 4id for proof
strength, but only a small business has been concluded
this week. The sales do not exceed 150 puns. East
India net with little attention, but holders are firm and
obtained is 3ed to is 4d proof for 100 hhds. Demerara
has been in fair demand at the former value, and the
sales for the week are 150 puns at Is Id to 21 2d for 33
to 38 per cent over proof. Fine Jamaica is in good de-
mand at from as 9d to 4s 6d for 33 to 38 per cent
over proof ; in other sorts little business has been done,
still full rates are demanded. We quote 30 to 33 per
cent over proof of plain quality at 2s 8:1 to 25 10J, mid
and good 33 to 36 over 2s lld to 33 2d, and good 3s 3d
to 3s 7d. Deliveries of rum are now nearly equal to those of
last year both for home use and exportation, and prices
rule low, but the stock is much larger. Brandy is in
better demand, and on the part of holders there is firm-
ness. The r

those current at this time last year. British refined is

12s, and holders evince firmness.
