tained. At auction 2,833 bags Tellicherry were in part
sold, good clean 31c1 to 30, very ord stalky and shelly 24d
to `lid; 207 bgs 70 rbns damaged Malabar 3d to 3-P. The

auction 81 cs 52 bgs were sold, Tellicherry at 8d to llid.
and Singapore 6ad to 7id. Pimento is in small supply,
and wanted at 5/1-1 to 5d for ord to good. Cassia Lig-
nea is more in request, and being scarce, an advance
has been obtained, 108 s to 118 s per cwt having been paid
for low to fine. Cassia Buds realise 120 s to 1265,
and there is only a trifling quantity here. Ia Cinnamon
sales are trifling; Ceylon, first sort is 10c1 to 3s 3d, se-
cond ditto Is ld to 23 2d, third and fourth sort 9d to
Is 10d. Cloves are iu good request, and holders less
disposed to realise; the value of Amboyna is 7d to Bd,
Penang lld to is 2d, Borbon and African 6/d, to 60.

for first sort at 2s 4d to 23 6d, second ditto 2s 141 to
2s 3d, and inferior Is 1041 to 2s. Although Ginger is
obtaiaable at previous low terms. yet all parties operated
with caution. At auction 123 chests Cochin were dis•
posed of at 25s 6d to 30s for mid, and 58 barrels Ja-
maica at 50s to 60s for mid. For better sorts the rates

megs firm iu price,and more in request privately; good to
fine brown realise 2s 9d to 3s 61, low to mid 2s to 2s 91,
and limed Is Bcl to 2s 71. At auction 22 pkgs wile

ranged 10d to is 81. African Pod Pepper is dull of
sale at 34s to 445, but Cayenne is in fuir demand at 9d
to Is ad. The value of Cassia Pera is 55s to 60s per
cwt, and there is a fair demand.
SinhaTs.—There are now few buyers of East India
Ruin: merchants are less firm, and have accepted is
por gallon proof. Leeward Island can be obtained
at u 5d to is 6d proof. For Jamaica there is a fair
hone trade demand, but inferior must be quoted
rather cheaper. The prices taken for common quality
30 to 32 per cent over proof have been 2s 3d to 2s 6d, mid
and good 32 to 35 over 2s 7d to 3a, fine 34 to 38 over
3s 2cl to 3s Bd, and superior 3s 9cl to 48 3d; but there is
no increase of supply. Demerara is held for 2s 2d to 25
5d for 32 to 43 over proof, but purchases have been upon
a small scale. Sale of Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1850 have been made at 4s 5d to 4s 7d, 1849

5s 6d to 6s 6d, low to mid qualities 2s 10d to 4s 101;
Bordeaux 25 2d to 2s 4d. British made Spirits is in
good request, and previous terms of 93 Bcl to 9s 941 net
cash are well sustained; and Giu 8s for 22 under proof;
indeed an advance is likely to take place. Geneva is in
larger request, common at la 7d to is 81, and fine at
Is 9d to 2s per gallon.
SALTPETRE.—Th. ere is a good business doing, the
parcels disposed of privately realising from 24s 6d to
281 for low to fine Calcutta. At auction 1,306 bgs were
disposed of at 28s for refraction 4i per cent; 634 bags

vious rates are maintained, the quantity on offer being
less than of late. At auction 150 bgs Honduras silvers
were disposed of at 2894 to 2s 1 Id for ord and mid, and
3s lo 3s Id for good ; 20 bgs back 3s 2d to 4s ld for luw

rife 3s 241 to as 7d perib.

freely supplied, but a reduction of 2d per lb having been
submitted occasioned a good demand to exist. At
auction 195 erns Guatimala were mostly disposed of at
from 2s 6d to 4s 7d, and 33 erns Caraccas at 3s to 389 d.
Madras is wanted; other sorts of East India have been
operated in with caution for all purposes, and there are
sellers at last sales rates.
Ons.—A further reduction having been submitted to
for Linseed Oil, occasioned a good demand to prevail on
the spot at 278 6d to 28s per cwt. There are, however,
few buyers for delivery, although sellers are willing to
accept 27s to 27s 3d for the early part of next year, and
26s to 26s 6d for last six months. There is an im-
proving demand for Rape Oil; brown at 30s 6d to 31s,
pale 31s 6d to 325; Refined Foreign 335. In Palm
transactions have been small, and fine can be obtained
at 26s 6sl to 27e. Cocoa Nut is in good request; Cochin
at 33s to 355, Ceylon 32s to 34, and Sydney at 28s to
31s. The market for Olive remains firm, and several

with a great stick with wbdch be had been beating a
boy, whose cries attracted him (prisoner) to the spot.
Alderman WIRE believed, the prisoner capable of
carrying out any of the th► Meats he had uttered, if an
opportunity offered. He, however, hoped that the
Commissioner would put an extra officer on that beat
to prevent the recurrence of such scenes.
Inspector Joy said that part of Field-lane was in
the county, and that the prisoner and his companions
set the City police at defiance.
Alderman WIRE said he was aware that part of
Field-lane was not in the City, or the gang would
have been broken up long ago ; but at all events the
additional constable ou the City boundary would
have a beneficial effect in restraining the violence of
such characters.
The prisoner was then fined 215., or in default 21
days' imprisonment on low diet; and at the expiration
of that time to find two sureties in 201. each to keep
the peace for six months, or in default to be committed
to prison for the same term.
Neither money nor sureties were forthcoming, and
the prisoner was consequently removed to prison.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Ernest Wilkinson, of Charlotte-street, Berke-
ley-square, was summoned fur neglecting to main-
tain his illegitimate offspring.
Mary Hunt said, she became acquqinted with the
defendant at a house where the defendant ussd to visit
some lady acquaintances. libe result was an inti-
macy, of which the fruits were a child, born about a
month ago. The defendant had sent her about 9/. in
all, but latterly had done nothing regular towards the
support of the child.
A witness named Macgusal said she called on the
defendant, and received 2/. from him for the com-
plainant.

Mr. IhNo'um/asked this witness if the defendant
said anything aboat the child ?—The witness replied
he asked if the chield was alive, and on being informed
it was, he said he wished the child was dead.
Mr. BINGHAN considered this was sufficient. No
one but the putative father would make such an obser-
vation. The defendant must, therefore, pay 2s. 6d. a
week and the expenses.
A person of respectable exterior named Merritt,
was charged with having dropped some prints of an
indecent character in Kensington-gardens.
A lady said the defendant dropped prints on two
occasions in the gardens, which she gave to the gate-
keeper.
The gatekeeper, Young, said he kept watch for the
defendant, and saw him drop a print yesterday in the
gardens. He took him into custody.
The defendant protested his innocence in the
strongest manner.
Mr. BINGHAM said, several complaints had been
made of conduct like that attributed to the defend-
ant, and therefore it was necessary to check the
offence.
Fined 405., and to find bail, two sureties in 1001.
each.
