tons are 1,577 hhds and tres.
REFINED.—To-day the home trade demand is more
active for Refined Sugar, and prices are yet on the ad.
vance for ord good, and it is difficult to purchase brown
grocery Lumps under 518 6d. For Crushed Sugar there
is yet a firm marker, and demand does not diminish..
MAIIIIITIUS.—To-day there was no public sale of
Mauritius Sugar, but privately some parcels were sold at
full rates.

ready buyers, and at public sale 4,780 bags sold

45 bags realized 36s for fine brown rather grainy. Of
Madras several parcels were disposed of at previous rates.
FoREIGN.—Today there was not much passing in the
Foreign Sugar market, but holders would not sell ex-
cept at high rates. None is offered at auction. The
private sales for the week are only 2,000 ,chests Savan-
nah at 238 to 25s 3d for yellow, and a cargo brown
Bahia, the price of which did not transpire.
Mor..Assxs.—Few transactions have taken place this
week, but as the stock does not increase holders require
previous terms of 13s 6d to 16s for low to fine West
India; Ils 6d.to Its 6d for Bengal and Mauritius; and
15s to 15s 6(1 per cwt for fine Porto Rico. •

tish Plantation, and the market looks firm with a good
home trade demand. For Red Trinidad rates rule
at 473 to 525, grey 453 to 475, and Grenada from
43s to 48s per cwt. Of foreign several orders
nave been completed, and holders display' firmness;
Guayaquil rea'izes 32s to 435, Bahia and Para 25s 108.
At auction 115 bgs Bahia were, however, taken in at
30s for good red. The stock is yet less than at this
time last year. _

COPFEE.—This afternoon the Coffee market presented
a dull aspect, and prices are on the decline for both home
trade and export sorts, although there is a less quantity
on offer; the rates taken privately were 52a to 53s for
Native Ceylon; at a public sale of 50 casks 60 bags
Plantation a small part only sold at 63s to 70a for mid
and good, other sorts 54s to 58s.

Youcr, Hyson ord good is 10J; Gunpowder, mid
to gOO% 2s 01c1 to 2s Id.
RlCK.—Holders of East India are reluctant sellers at
lover rates, and refrained from submitting any to public
sale this week. Privately, however, transactions have
been upon a small scale for shipping and home trade
purposes ; there is also no speculation going
on. Fur good and fine white Bengal the value
is lls to 12?, low end mid lOs to 10s 93, broken
9s 61 t.) 9i 9d; Madras pinky white so to So 6d, cargo

rolina sales are to a fair extent at 22s to 28s for town-

realised 68s to 963 for mid to good; 174 cks Jamaica
fine 71 to 71 21 6d, common to good 31 153 to 64
but 83 bags African were taken in at 341 fur
small. Export sorts are rather more in request,
and rates are firmer. At auction 493 Bengal sold at 18s
to 18s 6d for mid rough. Although the market has been
much better supplied with Pimento, yet previous
rates are generally sustained, there having been a
good demand. At auction 989 bags sold; mid and
good 6id to 6i3, a few lots low and good
ord 5,14 to 611, 1 lot good 6,1 d. Cloves not cheaper,
but operations are upon a limited scale privately, and at

nang at Is id to is 3d, Bourbon and Zanzibar 71d.
For Cassis Lignea prices continue high and rule at 97s

quiries have prevailed. Cassia Buds are higher, and
73 cases, at auction, realised 194 s to 1083 for good fresh.
For Cinnamon there are still few buyers. Nutmegs in
good demand, and prices continue to advance, as the
supply is yet limited; brown realized 2s 8d to 3s 6d, su-
perior 3s 83 to 4s, and fair to fine limed 2s 8d to 3a

3s 84, and fine at 2a 9d to 3a. None has again been
offered at auction. Black Pepper has been in exten-
sive request, chiefly on speculation. The value here of
Malabar is 3id to 4d, and clean Sumatra 3id to 344.
At auction 1,290 bags 210 robins in part sold at aid
to 4d for Malabar of good quality. White has been
operated in with greater freedom at 6d to 9d for low to
fine quality. In Pod Pepper there is more doing at high
rates. To-day at auction 100 bags Pimento were sold,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
M A HOUSE.NSION-
Isaac Williams was brought before Alderman Finnis,
charged upon suspicion of having been concerned
with Denham, who was examined on Wednesday
last, in the desperate assault and robbery committed
upon Mr. Cureton, of Alderegate-street, on the 20th
of September. There was a second charge against
the prisoner.
George Trew, of the City police, said—Yesterday
afternoon, at four o'clock, in consequence of informa-
tion which I received, I went, accompanied by
Ilaydon, to the house of the prisoner, in a street in
Hoxton Okl.town, and saw the prisoner there. I
told him I came to apprehend him on suspicion of
being concerned, with, two other persons, in attacking
and robbing Mr. Cureton, of Alderagate-street, on
Friday, the 20th of September. He said, " I know
nothing about it. I was at the Britannia Theatre
that evening with.my wife." I have since seen Mr.
Cureton and several others who have seen the pri-
soner since his apprehension, and they know nothing
of him. I have a further charge against the prisoner
of having in his possession several articles of which he
was not able to give a satisfactory account. I
searched the place, and found a plated silver teapot, two
gold mourning rings, one of which had engraved on
the inside the name, ", Robert Smith, 21st February,
1825," and on the outside, in gold letters, the words,
"In memory of." A watch, having no name but the
chain, a gold key,
number 5,580, two
half a dozen of wnitehandled
airs of earrings, a gold Albert

public sale. I carry it to walk with.
Trew—The prisoner is known to a .metropolitan
sergeant, who is here.
Sergeant Dubost, of the N division of the metro-
politan force, said on the 12th of December, 1843,
the prisoner was in my custody upon the charge of
stealing eight farthings from a till in a shop, and was
transported for seven years. He was at that time 21
years of age.
The prisoner—That's right. I don't deny it. I
was, when a very young man, unfortunately, convicted
of the offence. I was misled then ; but I have since
that time acted in a very different manner, and I was,
in consequence of my good conduct, sent to the coast
of Spain instead of the usual place, and was dis-
charged at the end of six years. In Spain I fell in
with a woman who had some property, and I returned
home determined to lead a proper life. I have done
so, I assure your Lordship ; and I have been living
industriou* since my return. I bought all those
things, as I can prove, from the parties of whom I
purchased them.
Trew said the prisoner stated, upon being appre-
hended, that he had bought the teapot in Petticoat-
lane.
Alderman Forus—lt can be of no prejudice ,to
you to be remanded for a few days, so that you may
be able to satisfy me that you became possessed of
these things in an honest way.
The prisoner—l can send to the parties in the
country from whom I made several of the, purchases,
and show that they were all honestly paid for. I
have never done wrong since I returned to my native
country.
Alderman FINN'S then discharged the prisoner as
to the accusation ,of having been concerned in the
attack upon, and robbery of Mr. Cureton, but re-
manded him upon the statement of the officer, that
there was a possibility that evidence could be speedily
brought forward with respect to the goods found on
his premises.
