QUEEN'S BENCH.—(T HIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice
ERLE and a Common Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. CECIL AND ANOTHER.
This was an indictment preferred against the defend-
ants for conspiring together to defraud a loan society
of 571.
Mr. Charnock appeared for the prosecution, Mr. E.
James and Mr. iluddl&stone for Cecil, and Mr. Ball for
Sedgey, the other defendant.
It appeared from the evidence which was adduced on
the part of the prosecution that Cecil was a trustee and
oodgey the secretary of the City Good Intent Loan So-
ciety, which was held at the Star Coffee-house in Gol-
den-lane. Sedgey admitted to some of the witnesses that
he and Cecil had entered fictitious loans in
the books of the society, when, in fact, the
Money was received by themselves. A person named
H'Arthur, who was entered as having obtained a loan
of 121., proved that he had never received the loan; and
another individual called Ellsley, who was represented
as having been lent 102., stated that he only received a
loan of 21. Sedgey had since been placed in White-
cross-street prison for a debt he owed to Cecil, and his
affairs were now under the investigation of the Insolvent
I)Qbtors' Court. On the other trustee, Mr. Bennett,
Waiting upon Cecil's solicitor, in regard to the transac-
tion, the solicitor said he did not think the society had
Much to complain of.
Mr. JANES contended that the evidence against Cecil
Was inconclusive, as it rested only on the admissions of
the other defendant, Sedgey. This prosecution had
been instituted to extort money from Cecil, and for no
other purpose, as he had lately come into possession of
B. considerable sum of money, and, being an illiterate
person, was most likely to be influenced by such a pro-
ceeding.
Mr. BALL contended also, on the part of Sedgey, that
the charge of conspiracy had not been proved against
hire,
The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Solomon Hyams, aged 40, described as a dealer, and
Sarah, his wife, aged 27, were indicted for stealing 165
Yards of silk, value 701. 2s. 6d., and other goods, the
property of Richard Attenborough, in his dwelling-
house. The prisoners pleaded not guilty.
Mr. CLARRSON appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantine defended the female prisoner, and Mr. Parry
the man.
On the evening of the Ist of April, about seven o'clock,
the stolen goods, which had been pledged with the pro.
secutor, were safe in his warehouse, but on the follow-
ing morning they were gone. Information was atter-
vards given to the police, and they were ultimately
traced to the house of a man named Lyons, whose wife
stated that the female prisoner brought them there,
folded up in a quilt, like a bed. The prisoner told
Lyon's wife that she had had some words with her hus-
band, and she had brought her bed to sleep there, 83
she was determined not to go back to him again. The
police took Lyons and his wife into custody, and carried
them, with the goods, to the male prisoner's house in the
Minories, where, upon being taxed with the robbery,
the prisoner claimed the goods as his own, and declared
that he had purchased them a few days before.
Mr. PARRY addressed the jury for the male pri-
soner, and contended that, as there was no evidenee to
'show that the property had been in the possession of his
client, he ought to be acquitted.
Mr. BALLANTINE, on behalf of the female, insisted that
the story of Mrs. Lyons about the bed was unworthy of
credit. The fact was, the female prisoner was a Chris-
tian who had married a Jew, and as she was looked upon
by the Jewish people as an interloper, no doubt the
Lyonses, who were Jews also, were not scrupulous about
giving evidence against her to screen themselves.
The Learned RECORDER summed up, and the jury
after a brief consultation, acquitted the woman and con-
victed the man of receiving the property well-knowing
it to have been stolen. The Court deferred passing
sentence.

NE W COURT.
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.—James Kelly, aged 20,
described as a labourer, and William Carter, aged 20, a
'waiter, were convicted of receiving a number of coats,
`Waistcoats, trousers,and waistcoat-pieces, value 301., well
?mowing them to have been stolen from the dwelling-
L ouse of one Henry Paine, and they were sentenced to
he transported for seven years.

THE SUN,

unaltered rates. Nothing- -has been doing in Choppas
and Bandannas. Operations in jute have very much
fdler, away, and, except for realiy superior qualities,
which are hardly procurable, prices are easier. Exports
continue to show a falling off. It is not likely that anything
like an extensive business will be done in this article for some
time to come. Hides have remained in favour, and a good
business has been reported at prices which show great firm-
ness. Castor oil has been quieter, and though procurable at
lower rates, little business appears doing in it. Shipments
go forward on a moderate scale on manufacturers' account.
Cowries remain in good esteem, and prices are without
alteration. Demand continues excellent, both for shell lac
and lac dye. A fair business has been doing at very steady
prices.
In minor articles of produce, a very moderate scale of
business has been done.
The Import Market—Under this head we have little al-
teration to report ; not the smallest improvement has taken
place in the position of the market, but on the contrary,
transactions have been at lower figures. Some short time
since holders began to show firmness, and prices were a
little stiffer, but they have latterly relaxed and shown more
desire to realize. These remarks apply to the market for
British manufactured goods. Mule twist has been more
active, but at a concession in value. The metal market wears
a more promising appearance.
The Money Market—We have not the least change to no-
tice as regards monetary matters ; the tendency to an easier
position has continued, and supplies are readily procurable.
Rates of interest and discount, however, have experienced
no further decline. The value of Government Securities has
improved, and a pretty considerable amount of business is
reported in them—value remains firm, at present quotations.
Bank of Bengal Shares keep up their value, but we have
heard of no operation in them ; little disposition is manifested
to realize, though there is no want of purchasers.
Exchange—A still further decline has taken place in ratat
es
of exchange on England. We quote Document Bill s
2s. 04. to 2s. ld. per rupee. Transactions have been on a
moderate scale in them. Some demand has been making for
credit hills, which we
,quote at 2s. OAd. per rupee, at six
months' sight.
Freights—For some years such a scarcity of tonnage has
not been felt, as now prevails, particularly for dead weight.
Rates have risen considerably within the past few days, but
quotations can hardly be called more than nominal, as ton-
nage is not procurable except to a very small extent. We
do not think:these rates can be maintained, as some heavy
arrivals are expected.
Indigo—The market, as might he expected, is very quiet,
having nearly arrived to the close of the season. There has
been no business done by private contract, and but one pub-
lic sale is reported. Owing to the decline which has lately
taken place in rates of exchange, holders of the few remain-
ing parcels have enhanced their demands, without, however,
yet meeting with purchasers at their terms.
Sugar—An active demand has continued to be made for all
descriptions of this staple ; but business has been confined
principally to operations in date sorts, which have ruled at
high figures. The new crop of Benares has been coming in
very slowly. The market had opened high, but as the crop
is expected to ,be an abundant one, and money tight, prices
must decline, notwithstanding the brisk demand here.
IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
British Cotton Piece Goods—Under this head of our re-
port we regret we are unable to notice any improvement.
Latterly holders of these goods generally have slightly re-
laxed in their firmness, which has caused prices to rule a
shade easier, except in the instance of some of the coarser
fabrics. A still further decline in the rates of Exchange
on England has caused holders to show more anxiety
to realise, and we consequently expect a little improved
scale of business to result, although at a further sacri-
fice in value. Grey shirtings have been placed to a
very fair extent, business being principally in the lower
reeds. Prices show a shade of improvement. White shirt-
ings, on the other hand, have been more moderately looked
for, and the sales show a decline in prices. Grey and white
jacconets have been placed to a Earl extent, and prices show
a slight improvement, particulay in the lower qualities.
In Madapollams we have only a very moderate business to
report, without the smallest improvement in the scale of
value. Business has been confined to the lower sorts. The
finer ones are more firm. Mull-mulls, cambrics, and book
muslins indicate not the least alteration since we last re-
ported. Very little has been done, and at former figures.
Lappets have been quiet, except a little business in the
lower qualities.
Woollens—The market for all sorts of goods under this head
has been remarkably quiet. Prices are nominal, and at even
lower figures buyers cannot be found. Hardly a sale has
latterly been reported.
Printed and Coloured Goods—Dulness prevails in the
market for these likewise; a very moderate scale of business
has been done, and inquiry is far from being brisk.
White Cotton Mule Twist—Owing to some little conces-
sion in prices on the part of holders, a more extended and
general business has been gone into. The market looks
healthy, and will be relieved by the present business doing.
Coloured Yarns—Market for these yarns is dull ; a very
moderate business is reported in Turkey red, but other
colours are neglected.
Metals—Copper has been quiet, demand is languid, and no
business has been doing of late.
Spelter—This article has also been quiet, but inquiry
begins now to make. A single sale is reported at current rs.
6-2 per md.
Iron—This metal has continued to improve, and demand
is increasing ; prices show a further shade of advance. A very
fair scale of business is reported.
Salt—Sales are reported— Bombay, 4,000 mds. at 44 ;
Liverpool, fine, 11,000 mds. at 79 ; ditto ditto, 11,000 mds.
at 18 ; butter, 11,000 mds. at 75 per 100 mds.

REPORT ON THE STATE
KETS. OF THE BOMBAY
MAR
FROM THE 3D TO THE 16TH Or APRIL INCLUSIVIZ.
Bombay, Wednesday Evening, April 2, 1851.
THE MONEY AID SHARE MARKETS.—We have much
satisfaction in stating that the Five per Cent. Loan of 1841-
184'2, which was re-opened four years and a half ago, has been
closed. This satisfactory intelligence reached Bombay by
express from Calcutta on the 14th instant, and since then
all securities have been looking up a little. The following
are the quotations :—Transfer Loan, 115 ; Five per Cent.
Sicca, 1054; Four per Cent. Sicca, 91; Company's Fours,
89 ; Company's Fives, 101. The money market is still tight
in the Bazaar, and is likely to continue so for a month to
come, after which it may be expected .to become more easy.
Bank Shares are at the following quotations :—Bank of Bom-
bay, 16 per cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 1634 discount;
Commercial Bank, 17 per cent. discount ; Agra Bank, 6 per

cent. discount.
Our export market has been characterised' by much
activity during the past fortnight, and a large business
has been done chiefly in grey goods and yarns. In exports
too a good business has been done, particulary in cotton, at
advanced rates.
Cotton Piece Goods—Notwithstanding the recent large
arrivals during the last eight or ten days, a considerable
business has been transacted, and prices have been well
supported, though in some instances the transactions have
been in favour of buyers. Grey shirtings have sold to
the extent of 50,000, and the same prices which were
ruling at the time of our last report have beon obtained.
Grey Madapolams have been in good demand, and large
sales have been effected at maintained prices. The sales
amount to 28,575 pieces. Grey and bleached Jacconets
have had a good sale, 10,000 of the,former and 14,850 of the
latter have been disposed of. Grey domestics : sales 2,650.
Only the heavy makes have been in request, and now that
the Arab and Persian merchants have gone out of the
market, are difficult of sale. Long and T. cloths have f
the
been
in some demand. The sales reported are 1,000 pieces o
former, and 10,800 of the latter, for which full rates have
been realised. Grey Dhoties have been little inquired for.
Fancy dyed goods and prints continue as last reported.
There is a slight inquiry for common jacconets, chcloth
ecks,
lappets, scarfs, and low lappets. Turkey red plain
there is a good inquiry for, and 1,900 pieces have been sold
at 8 rs. per piece.
Cotton Yarn—There has been a brisk demand both for
mule and water twist. Considerable sales have been made
at full prices. For Turkey red and orange there is scarcely
any inquiry.
Woollens—There has been little inquiry during the last
fortnight.
Metals—For some kinds of iron we have had a rather bet-
ter inquiry, though little business has been done. The same
reraark will apply to tile copper.
Cochineal—A sale of 7,0001 h. has been made at Rs. 1-12
per lb.
Beer—The arrivals have been 300 hhds. Alsopp, 500 Bass,
and of other brands 300, within the last fortnight. The
whole of Alsopp's has been sold at Rs. 80, at 85 per hbd.,
and a further supply is anxiously looked far. Of Bass's about
130 hhds. are reported sold at Rs. 80, and of Tennant's 125
hhds. at Rs. 50, and 40 hhds. porter of the same brand at
Rs. per hhd.
Wines and Spirits—The sale of 15 lards. British brandy
and 80 kilders of gin at Rs. 11 per case is reported at Re. 2 4
per gallon. Wines are dull of sale.
Marine Stores—There is little or no demand for both
bleached canvass, as well as sewing twine. A sale of 300
bolts at Its. 5 a Rs. 13 per bolts is exported. Cordage is in
good demand. Spirits of turpentine, oil of linseed, and
paints of all colours are dull of sale, and no sales reported.
Cigars—No sales reported.
EXPORTS.

Opium—Although prices advanced a little they have now
come down to nearly the same position.as our last report ad-
vised. We quote to-day's rate Rs. 1,089 per chest.
Cotton Wool Purchases to the extent of 12,000 bales
have taken place within the fortnight, and prices have ad-
vanced from Rs. 4to 5 per candy. The arrival of the Eng-
lish mail on the 4th inst., bringing accounts of large sales
at Liverpool, gave prices an upward start, and holders now
exhibit much firmness.
Rates to Liverpool have advanced, and for first-class ves-
sels 31. per ton is the rate of the day, and '2/. 10s. to 21. 15s.
for inferior vessels. To London we quote 21. 10s. to 21. 155.6 d.
To China, Rs. 10 to Rs. 11 per candy.
