SURREY SESSIONS, DEC. 31.

MEETING OF MAGISTRATES.
The General Quarter Sessions for Surrey com-
menced this day at Newington. Among the Ma-
gistrates present were Lord King, Mr. Briscoe,
M. P., Mr. Hawes, M. P., Sir R. Frederick, Sir T.
Turton, Colonel Chaloner, Mr. L. Baker, and Mr.
Elyard.
On the motion of Mr. HawEs a Committee was
appointed to investigate a charge, made against the
Deputy High Constable of the Court, of having
taken a bribe for excusing a person from filling the
office of constable, which he had been called upon
to serve.

Mr. Smallpiece, the county treasurer, presented
his accounts. It appeared that there was a defi-
ciency of 2,0701. for the quarter, to supply which
a new two-penny rate would be necessary. The
new mode of passing Scotch and Irish paupers
would cause considerable expense.--New rate
agreed to.
The report from Brixton Gaol recommended a
scale which altered the usual allowance given to
prisoners on their discharge, and also in furnishing
passes to vagrants upon their liberation. It also
recommended that a piece of land contiguous to the
gaol should be purchased, to prevent the erection
of houses thereon, whereby the free circulation of
the air would be impeded.
Ordered to be printed.
It was agreed that an additional female turnkey
should be appointed to Guildford House of Correc-
tion, in consequence of the increase of female priso-
ners.—Adjourned.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market, which shut on the 20th
instant, opened this morning, and there appears to be a
general inquiry for Aluscovades, as both the wholesale
Grocers and Refiners are out of stock ; the prices are the
same as previously to the holydays; the estimated sales this
day were 500 Ithds.and trs. The stock of West India Sugar
is now 34,903 hbds. and trs., being 6,836 more than last
year. The stock of Mauritius 70,883 bags, being 14,072
more than last year. The delivery of West India is
1,545 blids. and trs., being 168 more than last year.
The delivery of Mauritius is 2,187 bags, being 709 less
than the corresponding week of 1832. In the Refined
Market this day there are no transactions to any extent,
but it is quite evident, from the general inquiries, that
there are very large orders in town, particularly for fine
Crashed, but they are generally limited to 305., and they
cannot be executed; for other goods there is little demand,
but the Market looks firm, with a❑ improving demand.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.—There are no purchases to re-
port. A public sale of 3,000 bags is advertised fur
Friday, new Sugars and of fine quality.
EAST INDIA_SUGAR•—There are no purchases re-
ported.
FOREIGN SUGAR..—NO business.

COFFEE.-There have been no public sales of Coffee
for the list ten days ; by private contract a parcel of good
ord St. Domingo has been sold at 595. and there are
offers now made at 58s. for the same quality, which are
rejected. In British Plantation we have heard of no pur.
chases. The Coffee Market generally looks very firm.
Cocoa.—There have been extensive purchasesof Brazil
Cocoa during the holydays; about 800 bags have sold
21s. 6d. and 225., which is a small advance o❑ the cur-
rency.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Rum Market
opened this day with considerable firmness ; there are offers
to some extent for proof Leewards at Is. I 1 d., but no
sellers ; the holders are firm at 2s. ; for the Jamaica de-
scriptions there is also a general inquiry for the home con-
sumption, which will probably lead to large sales, but none
to anv extent were reported up till a late hour this day,
but the Market looks very firm. Brandy is steady. Geneva
is without inquiry.
TALLOW.—The Tallow Market continues to attract
much attention ; the large fleet has arrived upon the
coast, and a large proportion have already entered Hull
and the eastern ports ; the consequence is a further de-
cline in the prices ; the sales of Tallow on the spot have
been 445. 435. 9d. and 431. 6d., and for January and
February 6d. to Is. under these prices have been reported.
The speculators in some instances have been placed in a
very strange position, having sold, according to report,
through the houses that have failed about 485., and closed
their accounts through other channels about 465.; the
former contract is void, and as they have purchased at
465., the latter to close their accounts, they are left with
the late contract at what must now be considered a high
price; such are the effects of the time bargains, attended
with much confusion, to the destruction of trade, giving a
fictitious price to one of the leading articles of trade. At
a late hour this evening the Tallow Market remains in an
unnatural state, all parties agreeing that, owing to the
depressed priers, Tallow might be returned in bond to
St. Petersburgh, and yield a profit to the shipper; the
price at closing is very uncertain, about 445. 3d., and
some bargains to close accounts reported at 445. 6,1. and
445. 9d. This is settling day in time bargains in Tallow;
it has gone off quietly.
Inrsir PitovisroNs.—The imports in the last week
were of Foreign Butter 7,229 casks, of Irish 5,940 firks.,
and of Bacon 1,359 bales. We quote Friesland and Kiel
Butter at the quay 925. a 965. per cwt., as to quality ;
and as for Irish there has not been scarcely the least alte-
ration since this day se'nnight in either price or• demand,
if any, it has been a trifling improvement in Cork and Li-
merick Butter, which, as to selection of qualities, we
quote the former 725. a 745. and the latter 70s. a 735. per
cwt. landed ; there is at present such a variety in the qua-
lity of the various other descriptions of Irish Butter lying
here, it is difficult to give any thing like accurate quota-
tions. For prime singed Bacon there has been more in-
quiry, and an advance in price of Is. a 2s. per cwt. has
been realized, particularly for purchases on board fur for-
ward shipment, as well as for light weights and very heavy
prime parcels landed, but we cannot note any particular
briskness in the Market. Bale and Tierce Middles, Hams,
Bladder Lard, &c., are much the same as quoted in our
last.

OlLS.—..Fish Oils and Seed Oils are firmer at last
week's prices.
CORN.—The duty on B irley and Beans is Is. 6d. per
quarter higher this week, being the only alteration. We
had but a short supply of Wheat yesterday morning from
Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, though the arrival during last
week was abundant. The trade was altogether Is. per
quarter lower, and at this depression very little doing.
The supply of Barley was very languid ; fine samples sup-
ported the prices of yesterday week, but inferior sorts are
good ; the finest Malting simples readily obtained last
week's currency, but Grinding sorts are rather lower.
We had a large supply of Oats, and prices were fully sup-
ported for fine fresh Corn, but in all descriptions the sale
was heavy. Maple and Grey Pease are Is. a 2s. cheaper;
in Boilers and in Beans there is no alteration. Other
articles remain the same as last noted.

CorroN.—The accounts from Liverpool continue very
favourable for cotton, about 27,000 bags sold last week,
Buweds id. to id., and Braz,ls id. higher. In this
Market Cattons are held firmly for higher prices, but the
sales since Friday are only 500 bags at very full market
prices ; the holders do not appear inclined to sell large
parcels at the present prices. The East India Company
hive declared a sale for the 19th January; the quantity of
Sorats is 2,584 bags, but it is expected to be increased to
3,200 bags, and 450 Madras. There are no Bengali left
in the importers' hands in this Market.
TURPENTINE.-2,000 brls. Turpentine are in direct to
the drawers ; not any tor sale. Spirits are in demand,
and an advance paid.
TonAcco.—There are no sales of Tobacco to report ; the
Market is firm at former prices.
FRUIT —There is no alteration in the prices of Fruit,
the consumption is reported to be rather extensive, and it
is expected that the short supplies will lead to a small
advance in the prices.
SPICES.-Spices are steady in price, but there is little
inquiry except for Cinnamon, which is in demand at
rather higher prices.
_

SALTPETRE.—saltpetre is firm at the former prices,
RICE.—The Market is heavy, the sales have lately been
reported.
INDIGO.—There is little doing in Indigo, but the Market
looks exceedingly firm ; during the holydays small parcels
were forced off at a renuction in prices, the sales made
either from necessity or perhaps for the purpose of depress-
ing pr ices to enable the buyers to purchase at lower rates,
but if the latter it has not succeeded, for the Alatket is
2,966 chests, which it is expected will be increased to
uncotmonly firm ; ti.e quantity declared for n.-xt sale is
4,000. n
