MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, July 5.)
SucAa.—To-day the alteration in the Sugar duties
took place, and the difference is nearly divided between
the seller and buyer. There was very little business
done in West India Sugar, still holders for the most
part would not accept lower rates, and only 180 hhds,
&c., were sold, including at auction 97 hhds 5 trcs and
55 barrels Barbadoes, which went at easier rates, low to
goods yellow 35s to 395, and fine at 41s per cat.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods are operated in
with caution for home trade purposes, and there are
sellers of brown grocery Lumps at 48s 6d. Crushed is
still little wanted.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon, at a public sale of 5,389
bags Mauritius Sugar, former rates are barely supported,
but the whole sold, fine yellow at 38s to 39e, low to good
34s to 37s 6d, and fine brown 33s to 34s per owt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 534 hhds
137 boxes Porto Rico Sugar went at steady rates, low to
mid yellow at 36s 6.1 to 36e, and better sorts 39s sa to
43s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon brown Bengal Sugar
met with little attention, and at public sale 3,200 bags
went 6d to is cheaper, low soft selling at 26s 6.1 to 27s
6d, and mid to good 28s to 303. Of fine grocery Madras
3,300 bags went at 43s 6d to 445, being barely equal to
the valuations.
MOLASSES.—Thero are ready sellers of West India
at former terms, but few buyers are to be met with;
is
so
tthh eery aklitined of
Bfi 'leen gnael new Antigua,
and
tlo33l6tns 61d5spe6rd cwtfor is
not to be obtained under 12s per cwt, but the demand
continues limited.
COFFEE.—To-day the market for Coffee was in a
quiet state; there was no public: sale, aad by private
treaty purchases are -limited by shippers and home
dealers, still holders of good ord Native Ceylcn require
42s to 42s 6d per cwt. The quantity of Coffe3 declared
for sale next week is already 100 casks Jamaica, 1,000
bags 1,000 casks Plantation Ceylon, and 410 bags Native.
COCOA.—Holders of West India are firm, and none
has been offered at auction this week; full rates have
been obtained, but operations are limited by private
treaty; the value of Grenada is 37s to 423; Trinidad
grey 38s to 41s, and red 403 to 47s per cwt. The rates
asked for Foreign are 284 to 295, but operations continue
upon a limited scale; there are, however, several buyers
et a slight reduction.
TEA.—Previous rates are well supported for Green of
the better qualities, -sad a good business has been con-
cluded. In common and mid sorts sales have been upon
a large scale; holders obtain rather higher rates. The
home trade demand continues active for ord and good
common Congou, and further parcels have been taken by
exporters; in consequence of a limited supply, buyers are
compelled to pay 10Id to lld per lb. In the sorts from
Is to Is 3d a good deal has been done; other kinds find
a more active sale at is 4d to is 8d per lb. Scented and
Pekoe Tea met a fair saLl at stiffer rates.
SPICES —To-day at public sale 161 bags Pimento sold
at full rates, and realised 53d to 6id fir sound, and 414
to 6kd for damaged. Of Malabar i'epper 780 bags went
at steady rates; half heavy at 30, and good light 30,
but a part only sold; 30 bags white taken is at 6id to
bid per lb. Of Ginger 75 cases Bombay sold at 28s to
295, and 13 pkgs Jamaica at 51 to 91 for good to fine, and
at 31 18s to 100 s for other sorts.

—RICE.—To day the market for East India was in a
quiet position, but easier rates were taken. Of 2,178
bags 445 pkts Bengal a', auction not above half sold,
good white 105 to 103 6tl, mid broken 8s 61 to 93, and
damp 6s to 9s 6d, whilst fine sound was taken in at 1 is 6d
to 12s 5,1 per cwt.
COCHINEAL —The market has been quiet this week,
and prices must be quotei rather lower, although there
has been a decrease of supply. By private treaty the
sales made have hem small for all purposes. At auction
a part only of 73 bags found buyers, Honduras silvers,
ord and mid went at 33 8d to 3s 9d, low
midblack 4

s,Tenes 8d to

ri ff silverye
9d per lb. black 3 s 10d to 3s 11, and

INDlGO.—Prices remain firm for East India, but the
sales made have keen limited for all purposes, which
must he attributed to the quarterly sale of 12,225 chests
commencing on Tuesday. A limited business has been
concluded in Spanish at the former value.
SPIRITS.—There has been a falling off in the demand
for Leeward Island Rum this week, but holders are firm,
and will not sell but at full rates. The sales are only
150 puns at is 4d to is 4id prop", with small parcels
of fine brown at is sd. In East India there has been
very little done, still sellers will not accept less
than is 3d proof. In Demerara sales have been small at
2s to 2s 3d for 30 to 40 per cent. over, still holders are
not disposed to press sales. There is no variation in the
value of Brandy, at the same time, however, operations
were limited for all purposes. Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1848 at 4s 61 to 4s Bd, and 1849 ditto 4s 41 to
4s 6d.

SALTPETRE.—There was not much desire to-day
evinced to do business in Saltpetre, and at the public
sales of 1,809 bags, former rates were barely supported;
131 to 2i per cent. Calcutta Polling at 25s 6d to 27s 6d
per cwt. . . _

NIETALs.—To-clay there was a much better demand
for Tin, Banos. at 723 to 733, and Straits 71s. In the
market for common Bar Iron there was more demand at
41 124 6d to 41 15s per ton.
TALLOW.—This afternoon there was not a better de-
mand for Tallow ; of 680 pkgs South American at auc-
tion a part only sold at 33s 91 to 36s 3d;2

COCOS Nut is not cheaper; at auction 74 butts 190 hbds

Olive continues in a quiet state, with sellers of Spanish

and Portugal at 391 103 to 401 103. A good demand
exists for Seal, and prices are firm. Pale at 311 to 311
10a, and other sorts 291 to 301 103, but pale is yet
in request. There are buyers of Southern to a fair ex-
tent at from 31/ to 331 103 for corn to fine, but the supply
has again become small. Cod is still qulted at 341 103
to 351, but is yet purchased with caution. With Sperm
the market has been less freely supplied this week, and
former rates are well supported with a good demand;
good and fine Colonial realised 841 to 85/ 103 per tun,
and prime HeadcoattP,r 901 to 931 per tun. At public
sale to-day 30 puns Palm Oil taken in at 30s per cwt.

NEWBURY, JULY 4.—The heavy rains .1 to-day very much
interfered with business, as well as having led to much higher
rates being dmanded. What sales have been effected have
been at an advance of fully Is per quarter ; but some quantity
is held for higher rates. Barley, but litte in offer, and late
rates supported. Beans, Peas, and Oats, short supply, and in
fair demand at rather enhanced rates.

LtvEltroeL, JULY s.—At this daay's market there was a
good attendance of town and country dealers, who brought to
a moderate extent of Wheat, at an advance of fully Id per
701bs. Flour met with a retail demand at late rates. Indian
corn was not so much pressed for sale as of late, and good
American yellow could not generally be bought under 275.
In other articles there was little business done, and no change
in price.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 5.

, •,
(Sitting at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE,
and a Special Jury.)
The COURT resumed the case of Stansfield and others
v. Gladstone, which occupied a part of Thursday, and
the proceedings lasted the whole of the day. The cir-
cumstances of the case presented no feature of general
interest.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 5.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLVROTD.)
EX PARTE THE TRUSTEES OF THE DARTFORD SAVINGS
BANK IN THE MATTER OF :MPH JARDINE. A BANK-
RUPT.-JUDGMENT. _ -

Mr. Laurence appeared for the trustees of the Dart-
ord Savings Bank, Mr. Jones for the assignees, and Mr.

Linklater for the bankrupt.
His HONOUR gave judgment as follows:—This was an
application under the 28th semi= of the 3d and 4th
William IV., cap. 14, by which it is enacted (amongst
other things) that if any person appointed to any office
in a savings bank, and being intrusted with the keeping
of the accounts, or having in his hands or posssesion by
virtue of his said office or employment, any monies or
effect; belonging to such savings bank, shall become
bankrupt, his assignees shall, within 40 days after de-
mand made by two of the trustees of the savings
bank, deliver and pay over all monies and other things
belonging to the savings bank to such person as the trus-
tees shall appoint, and shall pay out of the estates,
assets, or effects of such person all sums of money
remaining due which such person received by virtue of
his said office or employment, before any other of his
debts are paid or satisfied. Now, it appears that Jardine
(the bankrupt) had been for many years, and was at the
time of his bankruptoy, actuary of the hack for savings
for the town of Dartfkod and its, vicinity, and whilst

holding sach office he received at different times monies
from depositors for deposits in the bank for their benefit,
which he applied to his own use, and the trustees of the
bank, having made the demand required by the above
section, claim to be paid by the assignees the whole
amount of the assets of the bankrupt's estate, upon
the admission of the bankrupt that the sum of 2,1301.
now remains due from him, which sum the trustees of
the bank say he received by virtue of his ofti:e or em-
ployment of actuary. The gross assets of the bank-
rupt's estate amount to about 1,3001., and the debts of
the creditors who have proved to about 1,2001. By
the terms of the 28th section of the 3d and 4th Wil-

ham IV., c. 14, which I have just stated, the assignees
of the bankrupt (Jardine) are bound to pay out of his
estate all monies remaining due to the savings-
bank which ha received by virtue of his said
office or employment of actuary, before any other
of bis debts are paid or satisfied ; and the
question which I am called upon to decide is, whether
all, or any, or what part of the sum of 2,1301.,
claimed by the trustees of the bank, was received by
Jardine by virtue of his office of actuary to the bank.
The Dartford Savings Bank was established about the
year 1816; and by the existing rules and regulations of
_ _

the !oink, made on the sth of December, 1844, the in-
stitution is to be continued under the management of a
president, vice-president, trustee;' and a committee. The
Commissioner having stated such parts of an Act of Par-
liament, and of the rules of the institution, as appeared
to be material to the consideration of the case, proceeded
with the facts. The bankrupt, who had been actuary
from the first establishment of the bank in 1816, for the
first three years acted in conjunction with his father;
then, upon the proposal of his father, the bankrupt was
appointed at a fixed salary; and subsequently, in 1830,
he entered into a bond in the penal sum of 1501. (with
his father as his surety) for the faithful execution of his
office. The bond was given to the clerk of the peace for
the county of Kent, as required by the Act 9th George IV.,
c. 92, s. 72, and transmitted to the Commissioners for the
Reduction of the National Debt, in pursuance of the 7th

and Bth Victoria, c. 63, s. 16. It is recited in the bond
that the bankrupt had been duly appointed actuary
and cashier of the savings bank established at Dart-
ford. The bankrupt performed the same duties after 1844,
when the existing rules were made, and wherein he is
called "actuary," as he had previously performed from
1316 to 1544 as "actuary and cashier." The Commis-
sioner then read lengthened extracts from the exami-
nation of the bankrupt, to show the nature of the
duties performed by him as actuary. No (continued
the Learned Commissioner) evidence, however, has
been adduced before me to enable me to say to what
amount the bankrupt has been a defaulter in respect of
monies received by him under the authority with which
he considered that he was invested. Mr. Laurence,
indeed, contended that, under Rule 18, which says that,
for the convenience of persons residing out of the town
of Dartford, their deposits may be received by any one
of tho officers or committee of their respective pa-
rishes, the bankrupt, as-an officer of the bank, was au-
thorised to receive moneys from persons residing out of
the town of Dartford ; but I am of opinion, that the
words " the officers," as used in conjunction with
and before the words " and committee," in
that and several other of the rules, means the
officers having direction in the management of
the institution, and does not include the paid
officers of the institution, as the clerk, secretary, and
actuary, who, under Rule 10, are appointed by " the
officers and committee." For these reasons I cannot
order the assignees of the bankrupt's estate to pay the
trustees of the Dartford Savings' Bank any part of their
demand. The deg) importance which must always
attach to societies established for the safe custody and
increase of small savings belonging to the industrious
classes of the country, and the many instances which
unhappily' have lately occurred of defalcations by officers
of savings banks and other like institution, have induced
me to give a more lengthened judgment in this case
than I should otherwise have thought necessary; and
there is still one further point which I feel bound to
mention, but as it was not raised before me by the
assignees, I do not at present do more than shortly
advert to it. As in the course of the inquiry in this
case it appears that the sum which the trustees of
the savings banks say is due to them is for money
received by one of their officers by virtue of his
office, or in respect of money which such officer has
feloniously embezzled, it becomes a serious question
whether the trustees of the bank can seek civil redress
before the matter has been heard and disposed of before
the proper criminal tribunal, in order that the justice f
the country may be first satisfied in respect of the public
offence. I a-n aware that in "Ex part., Jones," 2M. and
A., 204, Sir John Cross seemed to think that the re-
lation of master and servant did not exist between the
trustees of a savings bank and their actuary or cashier;
his Honour considered the actuary or cashier to be a
public officer; but Mr. Justice Erskine (the chief judge)
does not intimate a like opinion, and in " Rex v. Jfn.
son," 1 Mood C. C., the prisoner, who was clerk to a
savings bank, was indicted for embezzlement under the
7 and 8 George IV., 0. 29, sec. 47, and it was held thathe
I was properly described 88 clerk 19 at Sitilleffr 01910
