44n Stevens was capitally indicted for wounding
George Avery, a police-constable, with intent either
to disable him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm.

The prosecutor stated that he was a constable of the
Gh;idivisi°n, No. 175. On the 13th of March,
bolt-"e on duty in Featherstone-street, in the neigh-
arhood of Finsbury-square, his attention was
ritilled to a noise, and he found the prisoner concernfdl

qtriswered that he would go when it pleased him. Wit-

COLONIAL MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)
BRITISH, PLANTATION SUGAR.—The sales this week
have amounted to 2,500 hhds., and prices are Main-
tained. About 180 hhds. of Barbadoes have been
sold at 58s. to 61s. 6d. per cwt. for good and
fine qualities.

FOREIGN SUGARS.-There is an improved demand
for these Sugars, but holders demand too high prices.
Havannahs to the extent of 1,300 boxes have been
sold at 245. to 265. 6d. per cwt., which is rather lower.

EAST INDIA SUGARS:-The sales have been at a
shade lower in prices. The arrivals have been about
20,000 bags this week. The Company's Bengals
have sold heavily. Foreign qualities are in demand,
and Siams are at an advance of Is. to Is. 6d. per
cwt. Manillas are worth 245. per cwt.
REFINED SUGARS are lower, and heavy fine crashed
is at 31s. 6d. per cwt.
COCOA.—There is a decline of Is. to 2s. per cwt.
in Red Trinidad.

Rum.—The market is heavy, with little doing.
RICE.—The market is slack, and the sales have
been considerable. About 4,000 bags of Bengal have
been partly sold at l ls...__6d. to 14s. 6d. per cwt.

COFFEE.-British Plantation Coffees are lower,
full 2s. to 3s. per cwt. for fine Jamaicas, but a very
large quantity has been taken in ; good middling
Jamaica has brought 925. to 945. ; fine to fine ordi-
nary Domingo 81s. 6d. to 84s. ; and low to coloury
middling Berbice 80s. to 85s. The Continental
markets for foreign and East India Coffees remaining,
generally speaking, very depressed, causes a similar
flatness in ours, and the sales of this latter descrintion,
containing 1,508 bags of Sumatra and Samarang,
have gone off at a decline of Is. to 2s. ; very
ordinary dingy to low good ordinary 41s. 6d. to
445. 6d. ; and good to bright good ordinary 455.
to 465. Good ordinary green Samarang 50s. 6d.
to Ms. The different parcels of foreign put
up to sale, embracing 1,258 bags Brazil, and
180 bags of St. Domingo have been entirely with-
drawn, almost without any bidding, the former from
60s. to 61s. for good to fine ordinary, and the latter
at 58s. for bold good ordinary pale. There has been
a demand for East India descriptions, by private con-
tract, for France, and about 2,000 bags have been done
from 545. 6d. to 555. for good ordinary Ceylon ; 445.
to 465. for ordinary to good ordinary Sumatra ; and
535. to 555. 6d. for low fine ordinary Batavia.
SPICES are steady. Cassia is not so much inquired
for, and might be bought on rather easier terms. Five
casks of good to fine second mace sold from 6s. 7d.
to 7s. Nutmegs are 2s. to 3s. per lb. cheaper. Pep-
per and Pimento are steady.
COTTON.-This morning, by public sale, about 1,300
bales of Surats have been offered publicly, and in gene-
ral have been sold at lower prices, considering the
quality, which was not the best. The sales during the
week have amounted to about 800 bales, at steady
prices.

TALLOW remains very steady at 445. per cwt. There
is not much doing.
TEAS.—The trade continues very active, and at a
profit of about 1/d. per pound.
SALTPETRE.—Within the last month there has been
a decline in this article of full 5 per cent. A new
feature has presented itself in the Market by the ar-
rival of Saltpetre from Alexandria, a new manufacture
there, and tending to show the increasing importance of
the trade to Egypt. It is of as good quality as the
best Calcutta Saltpetre, and the best samples have
realized full prices, viz., from 265. per cwt. The
sales last week of East India qualities were about 800
tons, but this week very little has been done. The
Market altogether is very dull.
WooL.—Since the conclusions of the late public
sales there has been some private transactions in
Spanish Wools at rather improved prices. A feeling
is still indulged that the present heaviness will only be
temporary.

THE DUNDEE STEAM-SHIP.—ThiS mag-
nificent vessel left her moorings at the entrance
of • the London Docks on Wednesday night, after
taking on board a very extensive cargo of mer-
chandise, fifty passengers, several carriages, and a
great number of horses. Since the arrival of the
Dundee in the river on Friday morning not less than
20,000 persons have inspected her. This splendid
vessel has produced a fine harvest for the watermen,
who say that during the memory of the oldest of them
no object on that part of the river has attracted so
much attention. Almost every individual connected'
with steam navigation in the metropolis has visited the
Dundee, and they have all declared that she is the
most complete specimen of naval architecture ever
seen in this country. The size of her berths, the ac-
commodation for families requiring large or small state
rooms, and the elegance of her saloon, called forth
universal admiration.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.----REGIMEN-
TAL ORDERS.—Frequent complaints have lately been
made of the 2d regiment or Coldstream Guards wear-
ing their side arms by order of the commanding-officer,
Colonel Mackinnon, when off duty, as several accidents
have occurred in Westminster in consequence
of the
privates having made use of their bayonets while in a
state of intoxication. It is rather singular that, by the
military orders issued last week, and which came into
operation yesterday, the private soldiers of this regi-
ment, in addition to their side arms, are directed to
provide themselves with sticks or canes, without which
they are not to appear in the streets ; and yesterday
every soldier belonging to the Coldstreams sported
canes and sticks of every description that suited his
fancy. There are no orders given with resrect to the
privates of the Ist and 3d regiments of guards—they
are at liberty to wear their side arms or not, as they
please, in the streets when off duty,
