In other sorts little has been done, and supply is plen-
tiful ; Caper in boxes is 10d to is 2d, Scented ditto 10d
to is 4d ; Orange Pekoe plain 10d to is 3d ; Scented

RICE.—To-day there was no improvement in the de-
mand for East India Rice. At auction 2,135 bgs only
in part sold at barely former rates; fine white at 10s,
good mid to good 9s to 9s 6d, and damaged 6s 6d to 9s.
GINGER.—To-day at auction 1,058 cs Cochin were

demand, and at auction 158 bgs all sold at 2s 10d to
3s 6d for low to fine Silvers, these are full rates.
INDIGO.—A further increase has taken place in the
quantity of East India announced for auction on the
7th of next month, it being now 19,668 chests, which
is greater than was anticipated. There is in
consequence a reduction on the part of exporters and home
dealers to operate, whilst previous terms are sustained
with difficulty. Of Guatemala the quantity brought for-
ward has been again large, and less demand prevailing,
prices declined Id to 2d for mid and inferior, whilst
better kinds generally supported previous terms. Of
747 serons, two-thirds found buyers at from 2s 2d to 5s
4d per lb for ordinary Cortes to fine Sobres.
SALTPETRE.—Importers of Rough are not inclined to
submit to a further decline, and the market has been
moderately supplied during the last few days. Opera-
tions, however, have been upon a limited scale for all
purposes; Calcutta at from 25s to 28e 6d, and Madras
24s 63 to 265. British Refined is held for 29s to 29s 63,
but orders are limited. In Nitrate of Soda purchases
have been upon a larger scale at 143 to 14s 9d.
SPIRITS.—In the better qualities of Jamaica Rum
several transactions have taken place for home consump-
tion and shipping, full rates are also paid; but the mar-
ket is in a dull irate for inferior, and prices are rather
under those current on this day week. The valise of 30
to 33 over proof, of plain and middling quality, is
2s 4d to 2s 3d, mid to good 32 to 36 over 2s 93 to 3s 2d,
tine 33 to 38 over 3s 3d to 4s 4d per gallon. There are
few buyers of Demerara, and sellers are disposed to ae-
cept is 10d to 2s 4d for 28 to 40 over proof. Leeward
Island is not cheaper ; transactions are, however,
upon a small scale at is 53 to is 6d proof.
East India is held for is 30 to is 4d ; but
purchases have been upon a small scale,
Atli the supply does not increase. Operations in
Tfaeannah continue trifling, although there are sellers at
Is 2d to is 2ed proof. There is an increasing demand
for Brandy. Prices for Cognac best brands of the vin-
tage of 1850 at 4s 43 to 4s 6d; 1849 ditto 4s 7d to 4s 9d,
1848 ditto 5s to 5s 2d. older sorts 5s 4d to 6s 4d; ord
and mid 2s Sd to 3s 8d; and Bordeaux 2s 2d to Ss 4d.
British made Spirit is in good request at 9s 5d to 9s 6d;
and Gin at 7a 10d for 22 per cent under proof. Geneva
remains quoted at is 7d to is 8d for common, and fine
at is 9d to 2s per gallon.
FRUlT.—There has been an increased demand for
Currants, and fine realised an advance, 40s to 44s per
cwt having been paid; other qualities brought 32s to
38s, and low 24s to 30s; of the latter, supply is less
plentiful. In Valencia Raisins sales are upon a more
extended scale at 26s to 28s for old. Prices for new
Turkey pulled Figs, Sultanas and Muscatel Raisins
have opened at 703. At Liverpool new Valencia is sel-
ling at 40s per cwt.
TALLOW.—Tbere continues to be a good demand for
Russian on the spot; but merchants are unable to ob-
tain any advance, fine old yellow Candle selling at 38s,
and new 38s 6d to 39s per cwt; at these rates there is,
however, a firm market. For forward delivery many
contracts have been concluded; 38s 9d to 39s being paid
for last three months of the year; and some purchases
have been made for the early part of 1852, at 39s 3d
to 39s 6d. Home melted is still quoted at 37s to 37s 6d,
net cash; yet large purchases have been made. Full
terms arc obtained for other sorts of Tallow, although
supply is more plentiful. At Auction 450 casks were
nearly all disposed ot; Beef at 35s to 375; Sheep
35s 6d to 38s; 500 pkgs South American 34s to 37s 6d
for low to fine; 13 cks North American melted, fine 375;
and 24 cks East India Vegetable Tallow 31s to 31s 3d
per cwt. Stock of Tallow is 6,000 cks more than last
year; and there is an increase in deliveries of 1,000 cks.
Prices are nearly the same as iu the former season.
OlLS.—There is good business doing in Olive, and at
firm prices; Gallipoli realizing 401 to 411, and other sorts
38110 s to 391 lOs per tun; the stock also continuos to de-
crease, and consumption to get larger. In Linseed Oil
transactions have been upon a small scale by exporters and
home dealers; a reduction has also taken place, 318 9d to
32s per owt having been accepted on the spot. For delivery
there are but few buyers, with sellers at 31s 3d to 31s 63.
There is an increasing supply, but a fair consumption
exists. In Rape Oil purchases have been restricted, and
a desire is evinced to sell brown at 31s 6d to 325,
pale 32s 6d to 333; Refined Foreign 345; the market is
yet well supplied. Palm is nt present only in limited re-
quest, and tine is offered at 275; the stock continues to get
larger. Cocos Nut is much in demand, and an advance
' has taken place, although supply is more plentiful. At
F
auction 400 casks were chi. fly sold at 34s 6d to 355; 67
casks Ceylon 31s 6d to 32s 3d; and 18 casks Sydney

having been acceded to for Southern, a good business has
been concluded. At auction 190 tuns Polar, the whole
sold at 33/ to 331 lOs for first, and at 321 to 321 15s for
second and third sort. Sperm is wanted, and full terms

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

John Cooney was brought before the Lord Mayor
for further examination upon a charge of uttering an
Irish bank note, which had been converted from 3/.
into 10/.

City police-constable Jervis, said he had not been
able to procure further evidence against the prisoner
than that he had got the note cashed, receiving value
for it in exchange.
The LORD MAYOR said there was no doubt about
the prisoner having uttered the note. The question
was whether he knew at the time of uttering that it
was forged. As the parties did not appear for the
purpose of pressing the case against the prisoner, and
considering the evidence insufficient to warrant his
committal, he must be discharged.
Ann Bond, Jane Elliott, and John Elliott (the two
last being husband and wife), who were charged with
attempting to pick pockets on Friday last, were again
brought up.
The LORD MAYOR—I shall discharge Jane Elliott,
the evidence against her not appearing sufficient to
justify me in sending her to prison. The other two
delinquents I must send to prison for a month as
regues and vagabonds. The 12s. found upon Jane
Elliott must be given up to her, and the 21. 11s. found
upon the male prisoner will be placed in the hands of
the Governor of the Compter, who will deduct the
amount of his keep therefrom, giving him the balance
at the expiration of his term of imprisonment.
Thomas Winstanley was placed at the bar on a
charge of robbing Mr. Henry Adams Newman, clo-
thier, of 25, Jewry-street, Aldgate.
In reply to the LORD MAYOR the prosecutor
tated that he had employed the prisoner for some
time as clerk, in consequence of his representing
that he was in great distress, and willing to accept
te❑ shillings a week for his services. This was the
!mirth clerk by whom he had been robbed ; in fact to
such an extent had he been plundered within the last
eighteen months that he had been compelled to place
his affairs within the jurisdiction of the Court of
Bankruptcy.

The prisoner was reminded till Thursday.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. George Clarke was charged under the fol-
-1 owing circumstances :
Mr. Hockley Wood, of 75, Basinghall-street,
conducted the case on behalf of Mr. Clarke; and
Mr. Wilkinson, though not instructed, watched the
proceedings on the part of the prosecutor's employer.
Peter Descoe—l am manager to the livery yard of
the Clarence (late Three Cups) Hotel, Aldersgate-
street. About half-past ten this morning Mr. Clarke
entered the livery yard with eight men armed with
sticks and broke into the stables, taking therefrom
four horses, the property of Mr. Oswyn Merlin, the
proprietor of the yard. I, with the two ostlers, re
slated them, and they commenced beating us with the
sticks. Mr. Clarke did not strike any one that I
am aware of, but he was the most active of all and
the prime mover of the affair. Oise of the horses
belongs to a Mr. Carey, and another to a Mr. Gains,
and were both standing at livery. I warned Mr.
Clarke a few days ago.
Cross-examined by Mr. H. F. Wood—There are
no horses entered in the book in the names of Lon-
delle and Bralant. I never had any in their names.
There were ten horses brought into the yard on
Tuesday last and entered in the book on the same
day. They were not brought in the names of Lon-
delle and Bralant. Six of them were afterwards sent
away by Mr. Merlin, and the remaining four were in
the yard this morning. Mr. Clarke applied for these
horses on Saturday last, and when he came this morn-
ing he again demanded them, but in the meantime his
men were removing four horses from the stable. I
refused to give them up without an order from Mr
Merlin; and, on stopping one of the horses, was
struck several times on the haunches with sticks, and
received a blow from Mr. Clerke's fist, I believe, on
the side of the head. I saw Mr. Merlin on Friday
last. I don't know that he has absconded. He may
come back yet, but I believe he has absconded. I was
not with him at the station on Friday ; and I hope you
are not going to class me with roguery. The horses
were in the stables, and the doors were bolted and fas-
tened with cord. I cannot swear they were fastened
I will not swear that an application was or was not
made on Monday for the horses by Mr. Clarke. I told
him I was only Mr. Merlin's foreman, and could not
give them up without an order from him. I received
a notice from Londelle and Bralant desiring me not
to give them to any one but either of them. I be-
lieve the six horses were sent to Robinson's repository.
Six were sent to Dixon's in the previous week, which
Londelle and Bralant also claimed. lam not aware
that Mr. Merlin was indebted to them to a large
amount. I always understood they were merely his
agents abroad to buy foreign horses for him for the
London markets. I hold possession of the yard for
Mr. Merlin, and not Mr. Cook, the proprietor of the
hotel. Mr. Clarke had no stick, and I cannot swear
that he struck me the blow on the head, but I believe
he did. Mr. Cook did not tell me to detain all pro-
perty of Mr. Merlin's.
William Thomas, manager of the CI trence Hotel—
My attention was called to the disturbance in toe
yard, and on going to the door I saw about a dozen
men struggling, and among them six or seen in
blouses. Mr. Clarke was very active in inciting the
men in the work of removing the horses from the
stables and keeping- the gate, cloyed. I seized him by
the collar and dragged him into the hotel, where in
the scuffle a large pane of glass was broken. He was
very quiet, apparently from exhau,tion.
Cross-examined by Mr. H F. Wood—l did net
break the glass in knocking Mr. Clarke over a chair.
William Jarvis, an ostler—l was taking one of the
horses out of bait, when Mr. Clarke came rushing
into the yard with several men armed with sticks and
ropes. I tried to close the gates, but Mr. Clarke
pushed them open. They had no difficulty in getting
the horses out of the stables, as the doors were not
fastened in any way, but merely closed. I did not see
Ar. Clarke strike any one, but received several blows
myself. I was not in the yard when the ten horses
were brought in.
William Mardell, an ostler—l saw Mr. Clarke on
entering the yard speak to Mr. Descoe. I took hold
of one of the horses, but was compelled to quit it on
receiving a blow from one of the men's sticks on the
wrist. The stable doors were not fastened.
John Besham—l am an auctioneer at Robinson's
repository. On Saturday last I was present, and
heard Mr. Clarke apply to Mr. Descoe for the resto-
ration of the four horses remaining out of the ten.
Mr. Descoe refused, and produced a written notice
which he said he had received from Mr. Cook, desiring
him not to deliver them up to any one but him. On
Thursday last Merlin's men brought six horses to the
repository, and left them in the name of Londelle and
Bralant, who have since received 201. on account of
the sale of two of them. The other four are still i❑
the repository.
Alderman SALOMONS said the only portion of this
case that he could take cognisance of is that relating
to the assault. It appeared to him that Mr. Merlin
was the agent to Londelle and Bralant, and not they
his agents.
Mr. H. F. Wood—That is precisely what I will
show if the case is adjourned, and I hold in my hand
a written authority which Messrs. Londelle and Bra-
lant gave to Mr. Clarke, undertaking to hold him
harmless in the whole transaction.

Alderman SALoMoNs—Every man has a right to
pursue his own property is a legal manner ; but if he
go vi et armis, be must go peaceably, or he will render
himself liable to an actio❑ for assault. In the present
instance I think that a fine of 10s. will be sufficient to
meet the justice of the case.

Mr. Descoe here said, I now give Mr. Clarke in
custody on a charge of felony for stealing two horses,
upon which he can have no claim.
Mr. H. F. Wood—We are willing to return them
immediately, as they were taken by mistake.
Alderman SA.LomoNs—l am quite satisfied that
there was no felonious intention in removing them,
and independent of that, I cannot take a charge given
in such a summary way, unless brought up in the
regular way. __ _

BOW-STREET.
Robert Marshall, aged 56, a scissor-grinder, living
at 4, Pitt's-place, Drury-lane, was charged with cri-
minally assaulting a number of little girls under 12
years old.

Caroline Baldacci, the daughter of a modeller in
Clare-market, and three or four other children, were
in attendance, and from their statements to the Court,
it appeared that the prisoner was in the habit of en •
tieing them to his place, and then inducing them to
fetch others. The details were extremely revolting,
and in the absence of a medical gentleman,
Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner to Thursday,
refusing to admit him to bail.
CLERKENWELL.
Patrick Quelp, a repulsive-looking Irishman, was
brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt under the following
circumstances :
For a considerable time past numerous gangs of
Connaught and Munster men have frequently met
near the turnpike, Islington, and desperate conflicts
have occurred between them, to the serious injury of
many policemen who have been required to interfere
to prevent fatal results. On Monday night they as-
sembled as usual to " agree to differ," and after skir-
mishing about upwards of two hours a body of con-
stables, under the guidance of Inspector Thatcher, of
the N division, dispersed them and apprehended
the prisoner, who had been acting as a leader or
captain, and was wanted for being concerned in an
outrage on Police-officer Cooke, 61 N, on the sth
August last.

The latter now deposed that while taking a man to
the station-house he was surrounded by a gang of
ruffians, among whom was the defendant, who in the
first instance struck him violently over the arm and
compelled him to let go his charge, and at the same
instant he received several terrific blows at the back
of his head, and eventually he dropped insensible, in
which state be remained several hours. From the


J4LI ‘MI4

injuries then received he was still suffering and under
medical treatment.
Mr. TYRWHITT committed the defendint to the
Muse of Correction for six weeks without fine.
