CLERKEN IV E LL.

Charles Thompson, alias Charles Thomas, alias
Charles Williams, alias Charles Robinson, alias Chris-
topher Barber, and Mary Thompson, alias Amelia
Thomas, alias Amelia Parish, were again placed at
the bar before Mr. C )ombe, charged by Mr. Charles
John Cox, of 10, South •hank, S. John's-wood,
Marylebone, with having been concerned in a daring
and extensive robbery in his dwelling-house.
Mr. COMBE told the prisoners that he should com-
mit them to take their trial at the Old Bailey, and,
after the usual caution, asked if they wished to say-
thing in their defence?

They treated the matter with levity and reserved
their defence. They were conveyed to Newgate in
the course of the day.

THAMES.

The appearance of James C. Duncan, the Chartist
poet and orator at this court, on Friday, for wilfully
and maliciously destroying property to the amount of
201. and upwards in Sion Chapel, Whitechapel,
brought together a great number of persons anxious
to see the " poet" and to hear the investigation. The
prisoner is a man of about 30 years of age, with an
immense quantity of hair on his head and a large
beard and moustache. To add to the singularity of
his appearance he wore a heavy greatcoat torn in
several places. O❑ being placed in the felons' dock
he folded his arms and put himself in an attitude of
defiance.

Mr. William Lowe said, that a meeting, at which
nearly 6,000 persons were present, was held in Sion
Chapel, Whitechapel, on Monday evening, for the
promotion of Parliamentary and financial reform.
Sir Joshua Walmsley, M.P.; Mr. George Thompson,
M.P.; Mr. W. Williams, late Member for Coventry,
and the leading Reformers of the Tower Ha:nlets,
were present. The defendant was there and made a
great disturbance, and acted more like a madman than
anything else.

Mr. YARDLEY —I suppose he resisted being turned
out ? Mr. Lowe—He did, Sir; his object was to
create a riot

Mr. YARDLEY said, if the prisoner went to the
meeting for the purpose of creating discord and dis-
turbing the harmony of the proceedings, the persons
in authority had a perfect right to eject him. He
was a trespasser no doubt, and he was liable to be
sued for the damage in the county court if it is under
201., and at one of the courts at Westminster if the
damage is above that sum. If I was satisfied he did the
mischief either designedly or wilfully I would punish
him, but I don't think I can treat this as a wilful
destruction of property, and he must be discharged.
The Magistrate then addressed the prisoner, and said
he knew him before, and would strongly advise him
not to misconduct himself again.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Jan. 29.)

SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was purchased
with caution both for the scale and refining purpos.w,
whilst merchants were disposed to realise, and submitted to
a reduction on Friday's rates of 6d per cwt; but the lower
sorts are the most difficult to dispose of. A public ,ale
of 143 hhds 11 trcs Barbidoes went at steady rates for
fine, but at a reduction of 6d per cwt for other sorts;
middling to fine yellow realised 38s to 425, and low 37s
to 37s 6d. In all to-day only 330 hhds and tres oere
sold.

REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with little at•
tention for home trade purposes, and lower rates weir
acceded to; brown Lumps sold at 49s to 49s 6d, and fair
grocery at 50s 6(1 to 51s. The market for Crthhed
Sugar has been quiet, with sellers of British at 29a 6d to
30s 6d.

MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon there was not a bette r

demand for Mauritius Sugar, and at a public sale of
2,546 bags 156 casks, a small part only sold at barely
former rates; yellow at 37s to 41s 6d, brown, very low,
273 6d, ordinary 31s 6d to 328, good and fine 35s to
36s 6d, and strong grainy grey 41s 6d to 42s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was little disposi-
tion evinced to operate in Bengal Sugar. At public sale
5,760 bags were offered, and not above half sold at 6d
per cwt decline ; and fair to fine white Benares realised
40s to 425, low 395, damp and washed 37s 6d to 41s 6d,
fine yellow, like Mauritius, 38s 6d to 398 6d, low and mid
35. to 36s 6d, fine strong yellow, small grain 43s to

565 bags went at easier rates ; low soft yellow at 31s 6d
to 32s 6d, middling 34s to 36s 6d, and fine 37s t) 37s 6d,
whilst a part only sold.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public t ale of Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty little business was con-
cluded in duty paid or bonded sorts, whilst there were
sellers at rather lower rates.
MOLASSES.—West India met with less attention, and
former rates are not to be obtained. The purcha.es
amount to only 200 puns Porto Rico at 17s 6d to 18s,
and 30 puns Sr. Vincents at 15s 6d for ordinary. East
India met with little attention, and can be purchased at
I4s to 14s 6d. The chief portion of the stock is in second

hands.
Cocoe.—For West India there has been a decrease
in the demand by private treaty, and none has been sub-
mitted to public sale, whilst former rates are not to be
obtained. The market for Foreign has assumed a quiet
aipect, and there are not buyers at former terms. At
public sale a large parcel of Para was taken in at 35s per
cwt for fair grey.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the private operations in
Coffee were very trifling by shippers and home dealers,
whilst former iates were not to be obtained, although
the supply at market was small. At public sale 354
bags Ceylon went at a further reduction of fully 2s per
cwt; fine and fine fine ordinary realised 62s to 648
6d, good ord 58s to 60s 6d, ordinary 55s 6d to 575,
one lot of real good ordinary Native only realised 60s 6d.
26 bales Mocha went 35 to 4s ender former rates; long
berry at 75s to 76s per cwt. The rates asked to-day
were 60a to 60s 6d for good ordinary Native Ceylon, but
there was scarcely any business concluded.
TEL—The market has assumed a quiet appearance
for ordinary and good common Congou, still holders
generally are not disposed to press sales, and re-
quire 10Id to lOid per lb, but there is a more
plentiful supply, and prices tend downwards. In
the better kinds a good business has been con-
cluded, and at firm rates—medium realising 110 to
is 2d, other kinds la 2d to is 10d, and merchants
exhibit firmness. Fine and good sorts are still cheap as
compared with inferior. In Green large purchases have
been made, and former terms are well supported, while
Hyson and ordinary Young ilyson have been the mo,t
freely dealt in. Scented Orange has been in good de-
mand, still holders have been unable to obtain any fur-
ther advance.

RICE.—To-day, at public sale, 1,200 bags Bengal Rice
were offered and taken in; fine white at lis 6d per cwt,
being the full value. Privately there was little passing

Mace is still scanted, and 6 cases at auction realised
2. 6d to 2s 7d tor middling, and 2s 10d
for good quality. Pimento is much sought after
by the trade, who appear disposed to pay even higher
prices than heretofore, whilst the supply is less than
for some time past. Sales by private treaty have
he. ,n made at 71d to 7f. per lb. For Ginger the
demand is mono activ.-, and prices have an up-
ward tendency. At auction 700 bags Malabar
were sold at 24a 6d lo 27s f r ord to good export
sort, and 540 bags African at 38s for mid. For Jamaica
the mitre is 5/ to 11/ for low to fine. Cloves continue in

is a scanty supply at present, and the value is 100 s to
106 s, with buyers to 3 fat:: extent. To-day black Pepper
