SURREY SESSIONS, JULY 10.

James Colwell, a common informer, was indicted
for stealing 81bs. of ham, value 45., the property of
William Copelin, of Newington.
John Green, a policeman, said he was on duty in
Walworth on the 27th of June last, and was cane]
to the prosecutor's shop, where he took the prisoner
into custody on the charge named in the indictment.
The prisoner was tipsy, and said he bad given two
" bob for it. The bone now produced is the
stolen property; it is not all here—a good deal has
been cut off because it " run about."—(Laughter.)
In fact, it was alive !

The prosecutor sta!ed that the prisoner came to
his shop, and after remaining in it a few minutes,
stepped out with the ham-bone, while witness was
engaged with a lady at the farther end of the shop.
Witness called to his brother, who followed hi:n,
and brought him back. lie then appeared to be
very drunk.
Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—Knows the
prisoner, hut not perfectly well; has sold Ihim se-
veral " ham bones ;" sold him one a few days before
this affair, but don't know what was the matter
with it. The prisoner did not complain to him that
it was bad, though he might have done so to
brother. Knows the prisoner is an informer, but
can't recollect any thing about light weights.
The brother to the last witness corroborated his
statement.

Cross-examined—The ham bone he sold to the
prisoner was a very fine one indeed—(Laughter.)
Don't recollect his complaining of its being bad, and
saying he would have another. The bone was
neither strong nor mity.—( Loud laughter.) The
prisoner was " more drunker" after he had the bone
than before.—(Laughter.)
The prisoner said he bought a ham bone at the
prosecutor's shop on the previous Saturday, for
which he paid Is. 6d., but it was so bad it was
thrown away; on the day mentioned in the indict-
ment he was out and drank rather freely, and in re-
turning home went into the ham-shop, where he
complained of the bad bone, and asked for a good
one. The younger Copelin showed him one which
stood on the counter, for which he asked 35., and
he threw down 24., saying, that will be right with
the queer bone. He was going out of the shop, but
was stopped. This was a vindictive proceeding on
the part of the prosecutor, who had been twice fined
for short weights, and owed him a grudge.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the
Court sentenced him to one month's imprisonment
and hard labour.

The policeman, who kept the barn bone in his
hand during the trial, was directed to remove it as
soon as possible, for it had a very unpleasant odour
in the nose of the Court.

Mary Ann Highanz, a genteel-looking young wo-
man, aged 19, and rather gayly dressed, was indicted
for unlawfully intermarrying with Wm. Parsley, at
St. Mary's, Lambeth, on the 24th of June last,
her husband, James Thomas Higham, being then

The prisoner appeared greatly affected, and the
Court directed that she should be accommodated
with a chair.

The witnesses, William Williams, Mary Ann
Clutterbuek, and Samuel Jefferson, who were to
have proved the first marriage, were called in suc-
cession, but did not appear.
The COURT then ordered their names to be again
cilled, and no answer having been returned, their
recognizances were declared forfeited.
The CHAIRMAN addressed the Jury, and said, as
there was no oil t present to prove the first marriage,
it was useless to go into the case, and the prisoner
must have the benefit of the neglect. She was ac-
cordingly acquitted.

A few minutes after the prisoner was discharged,
the absent witnesses hurried into Court, and were
informed they were not wanted.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market iir,rs very languid all the
last week ; the purchases did not exceed 2,500 hints. and
trs. ; the prices of low brown were rather higher—all
other descriptions heavy at the previous currency. This
afternoon the market must be reported steady in price;
the sales do not exceed 700 hhds. and trs. The stock of
West India Sugar is now 25,440 hhds. and trs., which is
15,273 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is
73,817 bags, being 52,170 less than last year. The de-
livery of West India Sugar is 3,250 hhds. and trs., being
630 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 8,534
bags, 2,574 more than the corresponding week of 1831.
In the Refined Market last week little or no business has
been reported ; purchases could be made on rather lower
terms. This afternoon the Refined Market remains in a
very languid state ; low Lumps 64a. a 64W. 6d.
MAURITIUS SUGARS.—The Mauritius Sugars at public
sales last week went off steadily at former prices. This
day's public sale 547 bags Mauritius went off steadily at
full prices.
EAST ItiniA SUGARS.—The sales of Siam and Manilla
Sugars have been very considerable; very full prices have
been realized. This day's sale 1,147 bags 200 baskets
Siam sold Is. higher.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—Tbe sales of Havannah Sugar last
week were at prices 2s. higher ; 500 boxes white Havan-
nah sold at 38s. ; 1,300 boxes damaged white 29e. a
335. 6d., very low 28s. a 265. 6d. ; 700 boxes good
white were withdrawn from public sale at 31s. and 38s.
This day's public sale 55 chests three barrels Brazil were
all damaged, forming no criterion of the market prices;
107 bags soft white Havannah all taken in 355. a 365.

COFFEE. —The ordinary descriptions of East India and
Foreign Coffee are again la. a 2a. higher; in the other
descriptions and in British Plantation there is no altera-
tion in price worth reporting ; Ceylon sold 591. a 61s.
Sumatra 565. a 595. ; Semarang 560. a 575. ; Batavia
60s. a 635. ; Brazil 60s. a 625. ; -ordinary St. Domingo
61s. 6d. This day's public sales 1,344 bags Havannah
went off heavily, the first lots Is. a Is. 6d. lower, but
afterwards nearly recovered to previous market prices ;
818 bags East India, Sumatra, and Semarang, sold 565.
a 595. at market prices ; 151 bales Mocha 755. a 755.
6d.—The Coffee Market is flat to-day, but we cannot
quote it generally lower.
Russ, BRANDY, and Homarms.—There were exten-
sive sales of strong Jamaica Rum last week, 32 to 35 over
at 2s. 10d. a 3s. ; the latter was the only price at the
close of the Market ; very few parcels of the low Ja-
maicas are left on sale, and few parcels could now be pur-
chased under 2s. 6d.; in Leewards last week there were
few sales, as the holders were not inclined to sell ; proof
Leemards were, however, sold at ls. 7d., and few par-
cels were left on sale at that price, 5 over sold at Is. 8:1-.1.;
the Market was firm, but a Government contract for

100,000 gallons of Rum was announced on Friday last,
which, in place of adding to the firmness of the Market, as
usual, had a contrary iffect, as these contracts lately have
been taken under the Market rates, and have had the
effect of depressing the prices. In Brandy or Geneva
there is little alteration to notice.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-The Tallow Market has
lately been languid; yellow Candle Tallow at 41s. 3d.
and 41s. 61., yesterday and this day there has been more
firmness, and the prices have advanced. In Hemp or
Flax there is no material alteration.

IRISH PROVISIONS. —ln the past week the import of
Foreign Butter was 6,383 casks, of Irish only 886 firks.,
and of bac,n only 428 bales; we had, however, a further

is a nuke is
iepresented to be unusually large. For bacon there
very fair demand, the holders of fresh prime singed are
l'wking fora little advance in price; except, however,
in some partial instances Waterford has not been sold over
31s. a 525. nor Limerick over 495. a 50s. landed ; for
Russell's very prime Limerick 525. has been refused.

It is expected that should the present favour-
able weather continue Lord YARBOROUGH, in his frigate
yacht the Falcon, will reach the Tagus about Sunday or
Monday next, his Lordship having sailed from Portsmouth
on Thursday last. Lord YARBOROUGH is the bearer of
despatches from Lord PALMERSTON to Lord GEORGE
WILLIAM RUSSELL, who, it is generally believed, in the
event of the success of Don PFDRO, will be accredited to
act immediately as Minister from our Court.

About a quarter after eleven o'clock on Friday
night last, a meteor of a remarkable description was seen
by severargentlemen of Devizes. They state, " that it
at first appeared as a very small luminous body, descend-
ing perpendicularly in a south-western direction; that for
a few seconds it was lost in a cloud, and afterwards
re appeared at an angle of about 40 degrees, of great snag•
nitude and brilliancy, emitting a bright light, and illuini.
nating the atmosphere. The meteor at this time ap-
peared about three feet long and one broad at its base,
which was a globular shape, terminating in a sharp point
at its upper end. On its re-appearance from the cloud it
seemed suspended for an instant, then slowly descended
and exploded."—Cheltenham Journal.
DUCK HUNTING IN THE NEW COURT
OF THE OLD BAILEY.-On Monilay evening during the
trial of a young lad, named WILLIAM MADDOX, for
stealing some ducks in the neighbourhood of Brentford, it
was necessary to produce the ducks, that the prosecutor
might identify them. From the clumsy manner in which
the basket, containing the ducks, was handled, one of
them escaped from it, and the officers of the Court, aided
by several individuals, were occupied a considerable time
before the duck was recaptured. The bird, after having
visited nearly every corner of the Court, to the no small
amusement of every ore present, was at length replaced in
the basket from which it had escaped.

SIGN PAINTING.--Sixty or seventy years
ago the trade of sign painting gave employment to nisnY
of our best artists, and was, indeed, generally a part of
the profession. Since that period fine signs have been legs
in fashion, and the task of executing them has devolved oa
inferior artisans. We observe in a New York Journal that
a Bull's Head, one of the eatliest productions of Wss'r,
and which has hung there about seventy years, was latch,'
purchased by an English gentleman, and is destined for
our Royal Academy. On this sutject we may notice that
the Gout in Boots, at Little Chelsea, on the Fulham"
road, is said to have been painted, in one of his tipeY
freaks, by GEORGE MORLA ND ; and the Queen's
