POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday,lianz Thomas, a young man of
fashionable appearance, was brought to this office,
charged with having stolen a valuable great coat,
the property of Henry Patching, E,A., merchant,
and on suspicion of having committed several other
robberies.

Thomas Baites, a porter at the Golden Lion, St.
John-street, Clerkenwell, stated, that yesterday
morning, about half-past eight o'clock, the prisoner
entered the coffee-room, and called for a glass of
ale, which was served. Shortly afterwards, witness
saw the prisoner leaving the place with a great coat
across his arm, and being aware that he had no such
article on his going into the coffee-room, he ques-
tioned the waiter, who informed him that Mr. Patch-
ing's great-coat was hanging in the eoffee-room.
tie immediately ran after the prisoner, whom he
saw, at some distance from the house, and
called out " stop thief ;" when a gentleman tripped
the prisoner up while he was running, and secured
him. He was afterwards given into the custody of
a policeman, who took him to the station-house.
John William Turner, police constable, of G divi-
sion 218, stated that the prisoner was searched on
his arrival at the station house, but nothing was
found upon him. The coat was in his possession
when he was apprehended.
The proprietor of the Golden Lion suspected the
prisoner of having committed other robberies; a
person answering his description entered the Cross
Keys tavern a few days before, and shortly after his
departure property to a considerable amount was
missing, and there was little doubt that he was the
person who had committed the robbery. Other
places in the neighbourhood had also been robbed in
a similar manner.

Lloyd, the officer, had received information of a
robbery of an extensive nature having been commit-
ted at the Windmill tavern, St. John-street, on the
2d of June, by a person answering the prisoner's
description, who visited the place, and not being
suspected in consequence of his superior manners and
appearance, the door of an appartment, adjacent to
that in which he was accommodated, was left open,
and property consisting of wearing apparel, plate,
and 50 sovereigns were stolen.
Mr. ROGERS asked the prisoner if he wished to
say any thing ?—The prisoner simply replied,
" Nothing at present ;" and he was remanded till
Wednesday next, when Lloyd was directed to bring
forward the proprietors of the Cross Keys and the
Windmill, and to make necessary inquiries prepara-
tory to the next examination.

The prisoner was dressed in a blue coat with gilt
buttons, grey trousers; his hair and eyes were black.
He is about five feet eight inches in height.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

emand for Muscovadea last week was
general and extensive ; the arrivals were large, but there
was no adequate supplies brought forward, on account of
the necessary time required in unloading the ships and
sampling the Sugars; the new descriptions brought for-
ward met an immediate sale at full prices. The estimate
of sales, 3,000 hhds. and trs. The market was shut this
forenoon on account of the holyday. The imports were
large last week, but both the wholesale grocers and re-
finers are out of stock, and the quantity in the grocers'
hands in the country is reported to be very low indeed,
and as there will be a short supply, the prices are ex-
pected to be maintained. The great appearance of Fruit
is also favourable for the Sugar market. The stock of
West India Sugar is now 17,017 hhds. and trs. which is
1,275 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius is
72,035 bags, being 1,378 less than last year. The deli-
very of West India Sugar is 2,919 hhds. and trs. being
three more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is
11,318 bags, 3,867 more than the corresponding week of
1831. The Refined market was very firm last week
towards the close, when there was some heaviness, but the
late advance was fully maintained ; low goods were taken
off at 665. ; fine crashed was in good demand. There is
little doing this afternoon on account of the holydays.
FOREIGN SUGAR.—There were no Foreign Sugars of
any extent sold last week ; a smell proportion of the Rio
Sugars offered at public sale on Tuesday last were taken
afterwards at sale prices; the market is firm.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—There was no alteration in the
price of Mauritius Sugars last week, except that the
brown, 50s. and 515., were rather higher, and the very
tine were also in more request, and realised rates a shade
higher. In Bengal, Siam, and other Sugars, there is
no alteration to notice. Average price of Sugar, 1/. Bs.
9id. per cwt.
COFFEE.—The inquiries for the low descriptions of
Coffee, particularly East India, were renewed yesterday;
the market was very firm, and rather higher, both for
East India and Foreign Coffee. The British Plantation
has been steady, but the buyers are not anxious to pur-
chase, on account of the expected large arrivals. The
sales last week are aboutB,ooo bags; Sumatra sold 525. a
555. ; Ceylon, .50s. a 51s. ; Batavia, 575. and 58s. ; St.
Domingo and Brazil, 595. and 60s. ; coloury St. Do-
mingo, 635. There were no public sales this day, and up
till a late hour no purchases by private contract were re-
ported ; the market, however, looks very firm.
BUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS......The Rum market
continues firm. The sales of Jamaica are inconsiderable,
but sarge sales of Leewards have been reported ; one and
two over at Is. 6d. ; five per cent. over at Is. 7d. ; 30
per cent. Demerara, 2s. 4d. and 2s. 5d.; and 32 over at
2s. 6d.—Brandy is heavy, and the sellers anxious to
..ffect sales.--In Geneva there is little variation.
_Hers.—The late mina and hot weather have ma-

.ioned the Hop plant to look vigorous, but there le much
fly. The estimated duty has commenced at 135,000/. to
140,0001.

FRUIT.-There is a little good quality left; the late
sales are quite inconsiderable.

publit::ares of New South Wales and
Van Diemen's Laud Wool went oil' briskly at advanced
prices, particularly on the two last on Friday, which ave•
raged 2d. per lb. higher than last year's prices for the
same flocks. This was partly owing to a great improve.
went in the condition of the Wool, the fleeces generally
being cleaner than formerly. The Cape Wool sold from
6:i to Si per lb. ; the market otherwise is not so brisk, the
buyers holding off for new Wools. The stocks on hand
are old, and not of a selling kind, so that for want of
better choice the buyings are very sparingly made. The
German Wools are very dull, and much lower, on account
i,f the competition of the Va❑ Diemen's Land and Sydney
Wools, particularly the former, belonging to the Austra-
lian Agricultural Company; the latter is rapidly impro.
ring, and will likely be a favourite article in this market
TonAcco.—The sales of Tobacco continue confined to
small parcels for export (strips) and some small lots for
Ireland.

RICE.-In Rice there is no alteration.
INDIGO.—There is no alteration in Indigo; the East
India sale, it is reported, will be increased to 7,000 chests.
SILK.-Our market still continues steady, and the de-
mand is but limited, but, on the whole, Silks are a shade
higher ; the alteration is but trifling. Manufactured ar-
ticles are selling at better prices.
