THAMES-POLICE'.

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY IN THE LONDON
DOCK.—Yesterday James Tolley, formerly clerk
to a brandy merchant, but who has for some time
past been jobbing about the London Dock; Thomas
Dalton, a carman ; and IVm. Sneasby, a labourer,
in the employ of Mr. Charles Bannister,cowkeeper,
of No. 46, Colchester-sire. t, Whirechapel, were
brought before Mr. BRODERIP arid Mr. Co3ttal for
re-examination, charged with being concerned in
stealing a hogshead of brandy, worth upwards of
1001., the property of the London Dock Company,
from their premises. The robbery, which was ef-
f,cted with much dexterity, was planned by a man
named Michael Bannister, a plumber and glazier,
who was not long since convicted at this office for
having stolen property in his possession, and who
has absconded.

Mr. BRODERIP, after hearing evidence, refused to
accept of bail for Sneasby, and should remand all
the prisoners for a week.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the" London New Price Current" of yesterday.)

SucAn.—The Sugar Market has been excessively heavy
all the week, and the prices have again declined Is. per
cwt. ; brown J smaica 52e., other browns 515., and some
very low sold under the last price, but the latter could
not be taken as a criterion of market rates. Some coloury
Grenada sold at 535., which in the late highest state of
the market would have sold at 61s. The general decline
from the late highest point may be stated at '7s. and Bs.
per cwt. The cause of this excessive heavy market is the
great falling off in the weekly deliveries from the West
India warehouses compared with previous years, which is
now of such a marked character that, though the import
of this year is 13,000 hhds. and trs. less than last year,
yet the stock here is 9,000 hhds. and trs. more than in
1832 ; the decrease is stated to arise from the Refiners
not buying, their trade being checked by Foreig❑ compe-
tition and the unwise laws of England preventing their
operations with Foreign Sugars, which has continued so
long that the trade is in a manner ruined, and will not
easily recover, even if every measure was resorted to
favourable to their future prosperity. In the Refined
Market there is a great depression in prices and heaviness,
fine crashed is quoted a! 324., but the reports ate that
parcels hare been sold at 31s, : good small lumps 665. 6(1.
Although there have been a good many inquiries yesterday
and this day for the fine descriptions of crashed, the offers
have been mostly 6:1. a Is. under the present quotation,
and the Refiners at present not appearing willing to accept
that reduction, only a limited quantity has been sold ; for
the low shipping and fine grocery descriptions there has
been very little demand.
31Auttims Sucaa.—The public sales this week, 885
bags, went off lower than last sale, 525. a 535. 6:1. for
fine brown, but rather higher than West India Sugars.
Easy INDIA SUGAR.—The low qualities of East India
Sugar are inquired atter for exportation ; brown and also
low white Siam, for the latter 225. is still offered and
refused.

FOREIGN SUGAR.-There are no sales of Foreign
Sugar to report ; about 150 packs were delivered last
week fur refining, but this circumstance has as yet no
effect in improving the prices or the demand.
COFFEE.-There are no sales of Foreign or East Julia
Coffee by private contract or public sale, but purchases
certainly could be made at lower rates ; very fair quality
Brazil Coffee at 604., and sales reported at the latter ;
there are plenty of buyers of fine ord. Brazil at 59s ;
Demerara and Berbice descriptions have fallen 2s. a 3q.
per cwt. ; Jamiica ord. and unclean are rather lower ;
the good clean fully support late prices. There were no
public sales or private contracts of C free this day; the
Market is still very heavy.
Rum, BRANDY, AND IioLLANDS. he Government
contract for 73,000 gallons of Ruin has had no effect on
the Market ; proof Leewards offer at 25., and 2s 9,1. is
refused for Jamaica 34 over of fair quality. In Brandy
or Geneva there is no alteration.

more firm appearance, and the purchases have been made
at higher prices :

TOBACCO. —Fine Tobacco has advanced Id. per lb.,
inferior qualities id. to Id. per lb., in consequence of the
report of short crops, and the advanced prices i❑ the
United States, and also the small stock reported in Eu-
rope; the advance has been realized in the fine qualities
for the borne trade, bnt the exporters are not buying at
present ; no parcels offer under 3il. per lb.
SPICES.—Tliere is little alteration in Pepper. but the
Market is still very heavy, owing to the arrival of litany
