SMITHFIELD.
For the time of year the supply of Beasts on sale t 43,1
day's market was tolerably good, both as to number at.
quality. Owing to the small number of buyers 10• es
teadance, the Beef trade ruled very inactive at
barely equal to those obtained on Monday, and a
n..
clearance was not effected. With Sheep we were sci!
Lily supplied; nevertheless, the demand for that d,
Lion tion of stock was far from brisk, at about stationary 4a
gures, the best old Downs in the wool tolling at 45,b0
per 81bs. There was a decided improvement in "
Lamb trade, but we have no advance to notice in value'
Calves were in full average supply and moderate reqtl..°o36#
at late rates. In Pigs very little was doing at our tiL•ii,
tations. Mulch Cows sold heavily at from 141 to 181eac
including their small calf.

SEGAL—The transactions have, upon the whole, been
again inconsiderable, but holders have continued firm.
British Plantation has been much neglected. Jamaica,
at auction, realised 35s 64 for fine brown, and 36s for
low yellow. Refined has been dull, but not lower.
EAST INDlA.—Mauritius at public sale went rather
More freely. 6,970 b.,gs and 12 casks nearly all finding
buyers at 35s to 39s for yellow, at 31s to 34s 61 for
brown, and at 34s to 38s for grey. Bengal realised
also toil quotation:, 1,248 bags selling it 373 6Li to
393 61 for low to good white &flares. Madras was
rather dull, and 1,920 bags only lartly sold at 29s to 30s
for soft brown, and at 31s to 34s for yellow.
FOREIGN.—Very little has been done priva'ely. Cuba
by auction realised 38s 6d to 40s for mid to good, and
41s for fine. Yellow Havannah was taken in at 40s to
43s for mid to fine.
COFFEE.,—This article has been very depressed with
ar. extrema paucity of business by titivate contract in
the entire absence of public sales. Native Ceylon has
been sold at 4Ss to 48s 6d for good ord, and nominally
other sorts have sustained a corresponding decline. It
is impossible, however, to judge from the limited busi-
ness doing what prices can
.be obtained if sales were
pressed.
Cocoa.—There has been only a limited sale. Guaya-
quil has been taken in at 325.
RICE.—The market Las been quiet at about previous
-rates. Bengal good mid. white 9i 6d to 106.
SALTPETRE.—CaIcutta has realised full quotations, 31
per cent refraction going at 28s, and 71 and 64 at 26s to
26s 6i.
Corrox.—There is nolift in the demand for this staple.
RUM.—The quotations are nominally without altera-
tions.
TALLOW.—P. Y. C. is 37s to 37.1 3d per cwt, on the
Spot.
TEA.—A limited business only is doing. Common
sound Congou realises 911 to 10d per lb.
GREEN FRIIIT.—The market is completely clear of
Oranges, contrary winds preventing arrivals. Lemons
dull of sale; 500 packages, ex Sandwich from Messina,
offered by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, were bought
in at limits. Some holders of Barcelona Nutt have ad-
vanced the price one shilling per bag. Chesnuts are
selling freely, the cold weather assisting consumption.
Grapes 2s to 3s per barrel lower.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
PHILLIPS V. COOPER.

COMPLAINT BY THE JURY.—The plaintiff in this ac
tion is a tobacconist, the defendant is an auctioneer
at Reading, and the claim was 51. Be. fir cigars supplied.
On the case being called on none of the witnesses wore
present, and . after some delay a messenger was dis-
patched in a cab to fetch them from the City-road.
After having been detained for half an hour several of
the jury complained of the inconvenience they were put
to, and considered they ought to be discharged. They
said it was very hard that forty-eight men of business
should be called away from it, and lose their time.
Sometimes when they attended the causes were with-
drawn.
Mr. litipsorr said this was a writ of inquiry, and the
jury could not be discharged, as the notice was for be—
tween the hours of eleven and one.
The jury said some alteration ought to be made in
the practice.
On the arrival of the witnesses the case did act last
five minutes, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff.
Another case by the same plaintiff was withdrawn.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
John Thomas, who represented himself to hare been
formerly an officer in th• army, and Mary, his wife, were
charged before Mr. Henry with stealing and pledging
the furniture of their landlord.

Mr. Preston, 4, Arbdur-street, Tottenham-court-road,
stated that he let the upper portion of his house out in
lodgings, and the two prisoners occupied a furnished
third floor, for which they paid ss. a week. He knew
that; their circumstances were rather straitened, and
that induced him to watch them more closely than he
otherwise should have done. For the last week they
bad not been out of the house, and, as he was at a loss to
know how they lived, he went up into the room and
found the sheets, counterpane, and blankets missing
horn the bed. He taxed the prisoners with having stolen
them, when the male prisoner exclaimed, "No, do not
say that I have stolen them; I have only pawned them,
and I will replaceithem to-morrow." He, however, felt
it to be his duty to give them into custody, and did so
accordingly.
The male prisoner, in his defence, said his friends
Were well off', and formerly be held a commission in the
army. Since then he had travelled on the Continent as
agent for a commercial house, but of late he had been
unable to obtain any employment, and it was distress
which drove him to commit this offence. For several
days they 610 been without food or coals, and the arti-
cles were pawned to keep them from starving.
The female, who sobbed and cried durinc, the whole
examination, said what her husband had' stated was
quite true.
Mr. HENRY observed that their situation was a sad
one. The wife, it seemed, had acted under the direc-
tion of the husband, and she must then. f)re be dis-
charged; but the male prisoner must be remanded until
Wednesday, in order that some inquiry might be made
into the truth of his statement.
Mr. Preston said he was afraid it would turn out that
he was a writer of begging letters.
Mr. HENRY said that should be ascertained before he
was brought up again.
The female was then discharged.

IiARLBMY-STREET—(THIS DAY).
DEFRAUDING AN M.P.— Charles King and John Cooper,
the former 17 and the latter 14 3ears of age, were
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with obtaining,
by false and fraudulent pretences, the sum of 15s. from
Charles Wykeham Martin, Esq., M P. for Newport, Isle
of Wight.
The prosecutor deposed that he resided at Leeds
Castle, Kent, but was at present staying at No. 3, Suf-
folk-street, Pall-mall, and that on the previous morning
on his descending to breakfast the document produced
was banded t him. On looking at it he saw it was a
receipt for 15., for a copy of a work called " Burder's
Religious Ceremonies." He never ordered the work,
nor was he indebted to any one for a copy of such a
work.
William Henry Alderman, servant to the prosecutor,
stated that yesterday morning the prisoner Cooper
brought the receipt produced, and said he had called for
15s. for Mr. Martin's copy of "Burder's Religious Ceremo-
nies." Believing the prisoner's statement to be true,
witness gave him 15s. on account of Mr. Martin.
Thomas Field, an officer of the detective police, said
from information he had previously received he followed
the prisoners yesterday morning into Suffolk-street.
The prisoner Cooper left. King, and went to No. 3 in
that ►treet. After stopping there about five minutes he
came out and joined the prisoner King, to whom he
gave somo money. Witness then went up to them and
took them into custody. On telling them the nature of
the charge against them, the prisoner King said he was
the guilty party and the sole mover of the plot. Wit-
ness then conveyed them to the station, where they
were searched, and on King witness found about 17
receipts ready filled up, and on comparing them with
the one produced he found the handwriting to be
the same. These receipts were made out in the
names of Lord John Hay, Lord Grey, and other noblemen
and gentlemen, and witness had not the least doubt, from
the systematic way in which the papers he found upon
them were arrranged, that the prisoners, although so
young, had been carrying on a most successful trade;
and if they were remanded he thought he should be en-
abled to produce several other charges against them.
The prisoners, who offered no defence, were remanded
till Thursday nex'.
A DRUNKEN PARSON.—Mr. George Evison, who
stated that he was a clergyman residing at Hyde, Mid-
dlesex, was charged with being drunk and incapable.
Mould, 128 C, said about a quarter-past two this
morning he found the defendant in a beastly state of
intoxication, in King•street, St. James's, and in order to
secure his personal safety he put him into a cab and
conveyed him to the station.
Discharged with a caution.
A DRUNKEN DRAPER.—John Hughes, a draper, re-
siding at 33, Dean-street, Soho, was brought up on a si-
milar charge.
The defendant, about four o'clock this morning, was
seen by C 138 lolling about St. Martin's-court as drunk
as " a fiddler," and as he could not keep his equilibrium
the constable took him to the station-house.—Discharged.
A DRUNKEN DRUGGIST.—Joseph Smith, a druggist,
staying at the Garrick's Head, was also charged as
above.
Boyce, 181 C, said, about four o'clock this morning he
was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw the defen-
dant lying on his back, dead drunk. He procured as-
sistance, and took him to the station.
The defendant, whose face was much cut and bruised,
was discharged.
