MARKET IN TEL LIGENCE.

(From the Loncbn New Price Current, Jan. 3.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of raw Sugar were firm,
and offered only 858 bags Bengal at public sale, which
'
sold at full rates, from 41s 6d to 42s 6d for fine yellow
like Mauritius. In the West India market there was not
much doing in grocery or refining sorts, and only 208
hhds and tics were sold; but full rates are obtained. The
purchases aro 611 hhds, and trcs for the two market
days; but holders are firm, although the demand is
limited. On Tuesday 150 hhds Barbadoes, 120 hhds
Demerara, 329 bags Bourbon, 1,509 bags Bengal, 1,300
bags Mauritius, and 3,700 bags grainy Madras will be
offered at auction.
MAUAITIIIS.—The importations into Great Britain for
the past year were 47,000 tone, against 44,000 in 1849;
and borne trade deliveries in 1850 amounted to 50,500
tons, whereas in the previous year they were 47,900;
the stock was 7,000 at the close of 1850, against 10,300
tuns in 1849. Merchants have confidence, and the rates
obtained are rather above those current previously.
Only 399 bags have been offered at auction, and sold at
39s 6d to 41s fur mid and good yellow. The current
rates are, for brown 31s to 378, yellow 37s to 42s 6i,
and grey 36s to 403.
REFINED.—The market has a firm appearance for
Refined Sugar, and there has been a good home trade
demand with only a limited supply, brown lumps realize
504 6d, Tittlers low to fine 51s to 55s 6d; Hambro
Loaves 51s 6d to 565, and wet lumps 473 to 495. Bastards
are only in limited request at from 30s to 328 6d, and
yellow 33s to 378, but there is a good demand for
Pieces at 38s to 41s. Treacle remains dull of sale at
13s to 14s for common, and at 14s 6d to 18s for better
sorts. In Crushed Sugar only limited purchases have
been made by exporters, still rates are firm. British
at 28s 6d to 30s, Dutch 25s to 29s 6d, and Belgian 26s
to 278 6d. The export value of Treacle is 12s 6d to 148,
Bastards 19s to 225, and Pieces 26s 6d to 275,
with few purchasers. In loaves a fair business has been
concluded; prices are also firm, ruling for Turkey 1 to
sllbs at 40s to 455, llambro 6 to 7lbs 33s 6d to 345,. 10
to lOilbs 32s 6d to 335, 14 to 151bs 325, Tittlers 22 to
301bs 31s, Prussian 40 to 451bs 30s 6d, Dutch loaves 9
to 101bs 31s to 335, and Belgian lolbs 30s to 30s 6d per
cwt. To-day the Refined Sugar market was quiet, and
50s to 51s is the value of grocery lumps. Of Dutch
made goods several parcels on offer to-day at rather
lower rates.

EAST INDIA.—The market has opened with a good
demand fur Bengal, and stiffer rates have been obtained
for sorts suited to grocery purposes. At auction 2,184
bags were disposed of, good and fine grainy yellow re-
alized 44s 6d to 465, fine white ditto 50s, common white
Benares 43s to 43s 6d, fine soft yellow 41s 6d to 42s 6d,
common soft 33s to 34s 6d, and fine brown 325. The
value of good and fine white Benares is 44s to 46; per
cwt. Of the better sorts of Madras some parcels have
been sold piivately at stiffer rates, but lower qualities
met with little attention, still• holders will not sell, but
at full terms.
FOREIGN.—The total importations into Great Britain
of Foreign Sugar during the past year were 65,000 tons,
and in the previous one 83,000; deliveries were for home
consumption 43,500, and in 1849 they amounted to only
22,300; for export the quantity taken has been 22,000,
and in 1849 it was 29,300; stocks at the close of the
year amounted to 43,000, and in the previous season
they were 56,300. There is confidence on the part of
holders, and none has been submitted to public com-
petition daring the week.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale,
and by private treaty little desire was evinced by ship-
pers or home dealers to operate ; but good ord Native
Ceylon is not to be obtained undr 56a per cwt.
TEA.—The quantity taken for home consumption in
the United Kingdom during the past year amounted to
48,748,000, in the previous one to 47,743,000; for export
and stores deliveries were 5,600,000, and in 1849 dur-
ing the same period 5,000,000; the stock was 5,400,000
lbs leas than at the close of 1849. Dealers have evinced
little desire to operate in Black this week, and prices
have declined %d per lb for the lower sorts of Cougou,
sales having been made at is to is Oid for common to
good ord, and is Id to Is 2d for medium, but for better
kinds previous rates of is 2il to Is 10d per lb
are demanded. Green has been operated in with
caution and fur inferior sorts holders are disposed to make
a slight concession, but in the value of better kinds there
is no reduction. Scented and Pekoe sorts are held for
Lite terms; there has, however, been little doing. The
public sales declared for next week comprise B,ouo pkgs,
()I' which 779 consist of Assam.
RicE.—To-day the market was quiet for Rice, but
prices are not lower. At public sale 420 bgs of Madras
were taken in at 84 Gd to Ss fur piolcry; 200 casks

but little has been done. A good business has been
done in Jamaica, but at rather tower terms, plain and

good mid and good 34 to 38 over 23 10d to 3s 6d, and

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKP,UP7'CY, Jan. A.
(Before Mr. CoOThliSSioller FONBLANQUE)
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF W. T. SAUNDERS.

The bankrupt, an engineer , came up on the que.tion
of passing his last examination, supported by Mr. Ford,
and opposed by Mr. Wilkins. The case has been re-
peatedly- before the Court, and reported. His Honour,
in giving judgment, remarked that the accounts were
unsatisfactory, and that some of the bankrupt's state-
ments, to be believed, required an extent of credulity
which one who witnessed the proceedings of bankruptcy
courts could not be expected to possess. The last ex-
amination was therefore adjourned sine die. Protection
was applied for and refused.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvAtis.)
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF E. BREWSTER.

The bankrupt was a printer in Hand-court, Dowgate-
hill. The question at issue was, whether a pianoforte,
value 861., furnished to Mr. Brewster by the Messrs,.
Collard, of Cheapside, ought not to be delivered up to
the asignees.
Mr. Morgan was counsel for the assignees; Mr. Law-
rence supported the claim of Messrs. Collard.
It was contended upon the one hand that the piano
had been merely hired, whilst it was alleged upon the
other side that there had been a bargain and sale, and
that the instrument was, to all intents and purposes, at
the order and disposition of Mr. Brewster at the time of
his bankruptcy.
The COMMISSIONER finally decided in favour of the
assignees.
Mr. Morgan then applied for costs, which his Honour
granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

James Timms Newland, Henry Hart, and Lewis Levy,
were brought up for further examination before Alder-
man Lawrence.

The following additional evidence was taken:—
James Swain—l am assistant to Ann and Barbara
Reeves, pawnbrokers, in Redcross•street. I produce a
child's cloak and hood, pawned on the 26th of December
last by the prisoner Newland for ss. in the name of
John Lixton." I gave this ticket to the person pledg-
ing. The articles were in this paper box when I re-
ceived them.

Sarah Shaw—l am saleswoman to Messrs. John
Welch and Sons, in Gutter-lane. The hood and cloak
produced by the last witness are the property of my
employers. The value of the articles at the wholesale
selling price is 235. I missed them from the warehouse
on Saturday week last, and I had seen them safe on
the Tuesday previous. I know they have not been sold.
Cross-examined by Mr. H. F. Wood—l lean identify
them by the quality of the material. The box is also
the property of my employers, and the same that we use
to keep them in in stock.
James Swain recalled—l produce four children's coats,
pawned on the 28th of December last by Newland for
65.; also a child's frock and cape for 35., on the 18th of
December; and a frock, on the 17th of December, for
is. 6d., pledged by Newland, and all in the name of
"John Lixton."

Mr. Wellington Williams—These goods are a portion
of my stock, but I am not at present prepared to swear
positively that they have not been sold; at the same
time, I have not the slightest doubt but that they form
part of my unsold stock. The value of the articles
produced, at the wholesale selling price amounts to
about 31.

Alderman LAWRENCE was glad to see that the pawn-
brokers had acted in such a creditable manner in render-
ing every assistance to forward the ends of justice,
although in doing so It militated against their own pecu-
niary interests.
Henry Sears—l am salesman to Louis Silberb,,rg,
tobacconist, I!, St. Martin's-le-Grand. I know the
prisoner Newland. I have seen bim occasionally at
our shop. On Friday, December 27, between eight and
nine o'clock in the evening, he brought a canvass bag
into the shop and threw it on a chest and said, " That
bag will not be in your way tilt to-morrow morning, will
it?" I told him it would not, and he then left the shop,
I was removing the bag into our little back parlour,
when a packet of about a dozen collars tumbled out.
The bag not being tied up, I looked into it, and saw a
quantity of ladies' collars and habitshirts and gentle-
men's shirt fronts. Seeing clean goods put into such a
bag, I suspected they were stolen property, and accord-
ingly communicated my suspicions to the police. On
Saturday morning early the officers Webb and Wardle
came to our shop, and I told them the particulars relat-
ing to the bag. Webb then examined the bag, and took
an inventory of the articles it contained. He then put
his private mark upon all the things, and returned them
into the bag in my presence. Webb remained on the
premises watching. About half-past three o'clock on
Saturday afternoon Newland came in and had six-
pennyworth of Cubas and a packet of Bremen
tobacco. He said he would not take the bag then,
but would call for it about a quarter to five o'clock
on th• same afternoon. He did not come again
until Monday morning, about eleven o'clock. He said
he would have sixpennyworth of Cubas, and I asked him
if he would take the bag with him. He said he would
not take it then, but would call fur it about half-past
two in the afternoon. Webb was in the parlour at the
back of the shop watching the prisoner at that time.
He went out, and returned at the time he stated he would
call again. I was sitting in the back parlour. Webb
took out some of each of the articles in the bag before I
took it to the prisoner. I threw it on a cheat in the
shop, and he (Newland) asked me for a knife. I gave
him one, and he cut off the top part of the bag, and asked
me fur a piece of string to tie it with. I supplied him
with the string, and he gave me the top of the bag; it
was marked " W. W.," and " Griffin, 34, Gutter-lane."
He then left the shop with the bag under his arm, end
Webb and Wardle followed him. The piece of the bag
produced is the same that the prisoner gave me. I handed
it over to Webb as soon as the prisoner left.
Some delay here took place in consequence of a diffi-
culty experienced in bring up a witness, who positively
refused to attend, although summoned in the usual
manner.

The Alderman accordingly granted a warrant to
compel tho attendance of this important witness, and in
the course of the afternoon she was brought up on the
warrant, and placed in the witness-box to be sworn.
Helen Conway, a tall brawny Irishwoman, in answer
to questions put to her by the Alderman, said—l am
servant to Mr. Garton, who keeps a public-house in Spi-
tatfields.

Alderman LawaExot —What is the sign of the house?
Witness—Sure, then, I don't know what the sign is. I
have only been in the house about a month.
Alderman LAWRENCE—What is the name of the
street? Witness—Sure, then, I can't tell you the name.
It's quite a strange place to me.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Perhaps you will tell us if
you know either of the prisoners at the bar? Witness
—I never saw any one of them in my life before.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Now, woman, remember you
are on your oath, and you must answer my question.
Do you mean to swear that you have never seen the pri-
soner Hart before? Witness—Sure, then, I never set
eyes upon him in my life. But now I see, ho be a Jew
man.—(Laughter.)
Alderman LAWRENCE—And do you swear that you
have never seen that young man, Newland? Witness
—Faith, then, all men are alike to me. It isn't myself
that would take any notice of any man.
Alderman LAWRENCE—WiII you swear that you never
saw Webb before, or the other officer, Wardle? Wit-
ness-I'll tell you the truth, yer honour. I never saw
the man you call Webb in my life. I have seen Wardle,
yesterday.
Alderman LAWRENCE—You bad better be careful
what you say; for, it you do not tell the truth, we shall
know how to deal with you.

Henry Webb—Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock,
I went, in company with Wardle, to the Wellington
public-house, in Shepherd-street, Tenter-ground, Spital-
fields, and saw the landlord of the house, and asked him
if be remembered Newland coming into his house on
Monday afternoon. He said he did not, and called down
the last witness to me. I asked hor if she remembered a
young man coming into the parlour on last Monday
afternoon. She said, " Whatl do you mean the young
man with the bag under his arm?" I answered her in
the affirmative, and asked her if she saw any one with
him. She said, " Faith there was—a full-faced man as
plays cards every night in the taproom." She said,
" They call him Hart." I asked her what they had to
drink, and she said, " A pint of sixpenny ale, and I
gave the young man a sixpence and threepence change."
I asked her if the bag was left there, and she said," Yes,
and Bill Keates fetched it away, and sure, then, what of
that?" I told her not to say anything to any one about
it, and she said, "Faith, I shan't." I then spoke to the
landlord, who was present during this conversation, and
then left the house. The landlord is a very respectable
man, and has afforded us every assistance in his power.
George Wardle corroborated Webb's statement.
James Garton—l am the landlord of the Wellington
public-house. I was present at the conversation that
pried between Webb and the witness Conway; all that
Webb has stated is quite true, as far as I can remember.
I did not see Hart on Monday afternoon at my house,
but he might have been there without my seeing him, as
I was asleep at the time that the officer states ho was
there. Hart frequently comes to my house of an even-
ing. Ido not recollect Conway mentioning the name of
Hart in her conversation with Webb. I never saw Levy
before.

Helen Conway recalled—l never saw any of the pri-
soners at the bar before in my life.
Alderman LAWRENCE--I will keep you, then, until
your memory is improved a little.
Witness (somewhat alarmed)—Sure, yer Honour, what
will you imprison me for?
Alderman LAWRENCE—I can commit you to prison
for seven days unless you will answer my questions.
Witness—Eh, then the Lord save me, yer Honour;
why don't you ask your questions, then?
Alderman LAWRENCE—Do you remember saying to
Webb that Bill Keates came for the bag? Witness—
Yer Honour's a gintleman, and now that ye asked me
about Bill Kates, I'll tell ye the whole truth about it. A
man came in with a bag, and I thought be had rats in
i:, and served him with a pint of ale, and he paid me
with a fourpenny piece; but I didn't know who be was
no inure than the man in the moon.

(The prisoner Newland was here requested by Webb
to put his hat on.)
Alderman LAWRENCE—Do you know the prisoner
Newland now ? Witness—Sure, then, I never saw him
in all my life.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Did he drink the ale ? Wit-
ness—They went into the parlour.
Alderman LAWRENCE—You saw Bill Keates take the
bag away ? Witness—l saw a man take the bag away.
Alderman LAWRENCE—And his name was Bill
Keates ? Witness—lt think it was, then.
Alderman LAWRENCE—You know Bill Keates ?
Witness—Sure, then, I do, Sir. I have seen him many
times.

Alderman LAWRENCE—And was the man who took
the bag Hart ? Witness—l can't say your Worship.

Alderman LAWRENCE—Was it Hart that played at
cards ? Witness—Eh, then his name may be Hurt; but
I didn't know any on--'3 nnme but Bill Kates.
Alderman LAWRENCE—You said just now that the
an who took away the bag vt as Bill Ideates, and that
it was not Hart. Now, on your oath, woman, W 23 it
Bill lieges or Hart ? Witness—Sure, then, don't
remember saying so at ail.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Did Webb tell you that the
man that played at cards in your house was called
Hart? Witness—Faith, then, I never saw Webb before.

Alderman LAWRENCE—Did you toll Webb tbat the
man was called Hart? Witneii—l dare say I did, your
Worship.
Alderman LAWRENCE—NOW, woman, on your oath,
did you tell Webb so? I will have your answer. Witness
—I did.

Alderman LAWRENCE—Was the young man who paid
for the ale the prisoner Newland? Witness—l know
nothing about him; I did not look at his face.
Alderman LAWRENCE—But you said just now that
the young man had the ale. Witness—l don't know.
Hart did not have the ale; it was the young man that
brought the bag that paid for it. Hart went into the
parlour.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Did they go into the parlour
together? Witness—They did go in together.
Alderman LAWRENCE—We will speak by the card.
Did ono tollow the other into the parlour? Witness—
Yes, your Worship.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Is the prisoner that stands
before you the man Hart, that you saw go into the par-
lour with the young man? Wiiness—lt is so scattered
in my mind, that I can't recollect if it is or not. 1
don't know that I ever saw him before.

Alderman LAWRENCE—I must have that question an-
scsered, and I shall keep you till your memory gets a
little batter. Witness—l cannot help it, your Honour.
Alderman LAWRENCE—What kind of a man is the
one they call Hart? Witness—A short thick man.
Alderman LAWRENCE—What colour was his hair?
Witnesa—l declare to God I don't know.

Alderman LAWRENCE—Was he a bigger man than
the one before you? Witness—lf he is not bigger he is
not loss.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Is he a bigger man? Answer
the question. Witnesa—l believe nor.
Alderman LAWRENCE—Was he a less man? Witness
—I don't know. He was a short thick man.

Alderman LAWRENCE—If you do not answer the
questions I shall commit you to prison. Did you tell
Webb that the young man brought the bag with a man
who played at cards at the house, who was called Hart?
Witness—Faith, then, I did, your Worship.
Alderman LAWRENCE—And did you see Newland on
last Monday afternoon? Witness—l did, Sir.
Alderman LAWRENCE—And Hart and Newland you
saw go into the parlour on Monday afternoon? Witness
—Faith that is true, your Honour.
Alderman LAWRENCE—You may stand down now,
but you must not go away just yet, for we shall want
you again.
George Wardle—When I went to serve the summons
upon the last witness this morning she said she would
not come for any magistrate. Her master tried to per-
suade her, but she positively refused. I sent down to
the magistrate here and got a warrant, and brought her
up without any violence on her part.
James Saunders, a porter at 35, Gutter-lane, said he
saw Newland and Hart in conversation together about a
month or six weeks ago, and Newland told him after-
wards that he had sold a jacket to Hart, but did not get
more than about 4d. tor it. He had often seen and
heard Hart in Gutter-lane early in the morning.
Edward Lawrence Levy, solicitor, here stated on oath,
that the prisoner Levy ad been in his house, near Bed-
ford-square, from eleven o'clock in the morning until
seven o'clock in the evening of Monday last, the day on
which Webb and Newland both stated they saw him in
company with Hart. This was also corroborated by a
servant of witness's, who stated that Levy was occupied
on the day in question cleaning the windows, and knives
and forks, &c. About two o'clock she gave him his
dinner.

Webb here said, that although he was almost certain
that be was not mistaken in the identity of Levy, yet
he was not so positive as to induce him to swear that
ha had actually seen Levy.
Alderman LAWRENCE, under these circumstances,
thought that Levy must have the benefit of his master's
statement, and he would therefore discharge him, but
he would remand Newland and Hart, in order that fur-
ther inquiries might be made to endeavour to get pos-
session of the missing property.
As these persons were leaving the court, Webb ap-
pealed to the Alderman to protect him from the insults
of Mr. E. Lawrence Levy, the late wituess4 and the son
of Lawrence Levy, the Sheriff's officer.
Alderman LAWRENCE accordingly called them back,
and reprimanded Mr. Levy for his indecorous behaviour
towards the officer.
Mr. Levy—l only said it was a shame for him to try
and swear away the liberty of a man.
Alderman LAWRENCE—But you were wrong to ad-
dress him in that style. Webb has only done his duty,
and your client cannot complain of that officer's conduct
towards him, for he does not swear positively as to his
identification of him; therefore I would advise you to say
no more about it.

The prisoner Levy then left the court with his friends,

IVIARLi?OROUGH-STREET.

John Edwards, a stout, determined-looking man, was
brought before Hardwick, charged with having com-
mitted a burglary at the house of Mr. Libra, tobacconist,
No. 2, Old Compton-street.
Police-constables Williams and Peisley, of the C di-
vision, prov©d the taking of the prisoner into custody
and searching him. In the prisoner's possession wore 11
skeleton keys, one of which opened the street-door of
the prosecutor's house.
The prisoner declined to make any defence, and Ras
fully committed.
WESTMINSTER.

Charles 111'Cuffrey, Theresa, his wife, and Ann Webb,
all of whom bore marks of having been engaged in
some recent fray, were charge with having so severely
wounded and injured Joh❑ Alley, a mulatto, as to place
his life in considerable jeopardy.
The following certificate was handed in :
" St. George's Hospital.
" This is to certify that John Alley is an in-patient,
and at this time afflicted with scalp wounds and severe
contusions of the back. _ .

"JAMES ROUSE, House Surgeon.
Mr. Cummings said that the wounded man had lock
jaw, and had been in a very dangerous state since his
admission.

Mr. BURRELL observed that it appeared to have been
a most desperate affray, and it was his duty at present
to remand the accused, which he did until Wednesday
next.
