COLONIAL
StrGAß.—The market for British Plantation is deci-
dedly more firm, and after the public sales some parcels
were disposed of at rather better prices ; about 450 hhds
have been sold. There has been rather more dispositicrn
shown to purchase Molasses, but as holders demand
higher prices, no transactions have taken place worth
reporting. The public sales have consisted chiefly of
12,151 bags Mauritius and 1,094 bags Bengal. The
whole of the Mauritius sold, and went off with spirit
(nearly one-half was taken by one broker, supposed
to be on speculation), at fully previous prices, and in
some instances rather dearer; very low to fine brown
brought 43s to 54s 6d, and low to fine yellow, 55s to 65s
6d. Nearly all the Bengal also found buyers, the
greater part at comparatively very high prices ; viz.,
68s to 71s for good to fine strong grainy yellow (Dhobah
kind), and the remainder at 53s to 61s for low soft
yellow (Date kind) to mid soft white Benares, being
about previous rates. The quantity of British planta-
tion landed last week at the East and West India Docks
was 1,037 hhds 222 tierces 332 barrels, and there were
taken for home consumption 1,268 hhds 122 tierces 309
barrels. The stock in the same places is 12,748 hhds
1,914 tierces 2,936 barrels.
COFFEE.—Of 970 bags Ceylon and 106 bales Mocha
at auction, only a small portion was disposed of at 54s
for good ord Ceylon, vv hich is the former value ; the
remainder was taken in at 65s to 76s for fine ord to fine
fine ord British Plantation kind, being comparatively
very low prices, but at which there were not purchasers.
The Mocha was likewise taken in at 78s for good deem
garbled. A large parcel of Ceylon has been disposed of
privately (amounting to about 3,500 bags), the exact
price of which has not transpired, but is supposed to be
54s 6d or 555.
MM.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 465 puns 59 hhds. There were
taken for home consumption 176 puns 30 hhds, and ex-
ported 190 puns 97 hhds. The stock in the same places
is 10,070 puns 1,782 hhds.
SALTPETRE.-971 bags Bengal, at auction, were nearly
all taken in at 25s to 27s for 71- to 2i per cent Tefrac-
tion, being again cheaper.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is steady at 41s to 41s 6d per cwt
on the spot, and Town at 43s 6d per cwt.
TEA.— The private market is very firm. There are
public sales declared for Thursday next.
PINE APPLES.—A bout 4,000 were disposed of yester-
day by Keeling and Hunt, being the remainder of the
cargo of the Fear Not, from New Providence. The at-
tendance of buyers was exceedingly good, and many
private purchasers were present, and much judgment
was shown in the distribution of the Pines, as regards
size and quality, which was apprec;ated by the dealers
and others, who purchased without reserve, at prices
averaging those of former sales. Several exportations
have been made to the Continent; and from this, in con-
junction with the large sales made for home consunsp-
tion, it is clear that the exportation of the Pine from
the West India Islands to England will shortly become
a more important feature.

IMPROVEMENTS AT BANKsroE.---During the last
few days extensive alterations have been going on at
Bankside, Southwark, from the east end of Holland-
street, extending as far as Messrs. Barclay's brewhouse,
Bank-end. The principal portion of the roadway, which
has been in a most dangerous state for some years,
114 s open newl.y laid down on the most improved system.
In some parts lacing the rip= theroad-way has been
raised three feet, chiefly as a proientinn against he good
tides, which frequently inundate this portion of the river
side to an alarming extent, causing the most serious
destruction of property.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE:LEWIS JOHN JACKSON.
Mr. NrcaoLLs said he appeared to oppose the bank-
rupt's interim order, on the part of a Mr. Riches, who
was a creditor to the amount of 1101. He opposed the
insolvent on two grounds; first, that this debt had been
contracted in a fraudulent manner; and, secondly, that
when an action had been entered in the Court of Queen's
Bench, the bankrupt by defending said action had in-
curred expenses to the amount of 601., without any
reasonable expectation of being able to pay the same.
Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN—There was an action,
then. What were the damages given ?
Mr. NICHOLLS-501.

The Learned Counsel then stated that his client Riches
was a coal dealer and collector of rents. He afterwards
took out a license as a broker, and employed the bank-
rupt as his man to take possession at a salary of 2s. 6d.
per day. Some time after this connexion, the bankrupt
proposed that the opposing creditor should advance some
money to buy furniture, on which a profit might be
realised on its subsequent sale. Riches acceded
to the proposition, and an agreement was en-
tered iuto that the bankrupt should have two-thirds of
the property for his trouble, and the creditor, Riches, the
remaining one-third for the use of the money. The con-
nection realised a profit, and continued for about twelve
months ; when one morning it was discovered that
the bankrupt was removing furniture, amounting
to 1501., from Newport-street, where their place
of business then was, to Cambridge road, where
the bankrupt now resided. He succeeded in re-
moving it, and Riches not being able to procure a settle-
ment, entered an action in the Queen's Bench, and found
damages in 501. Such were the simple circumstances,
and he contended that this fully established his grounds
of objection. Evidence was called to the facts.
Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN thought that the bank-
rupt in this case came clearly within the wording of the
Act, he having contracted the debt to Mr. Riches in a
fraudulent manner, and was therefore not entitled to the
protection of that Court. The goods were delivered
upon trust, and there being 110 sale shown or established,
it implied clearly a breach of that trust. He (the Com-
missioner) was therefore obliged to reserve the conside-
ration of the bankrupt's final order, giving him the
protection of the Court.

• There was no other case of the slightest interest heard
this morning.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
ROBBERY FROM THE POST-OFFICE.—Ann West, a
very neatly-dressed girl was this day placed before
Alderman Farncombe on suspicion of stealing forty-
seven sovereigns from Mrs. Larkins, a female residing
at 141, Bell-alley, Golden-lane.
The evidence of 132 City constable, went to show that
at half.past five last night, he had been called into a
public-house in Golden-lane, kept by Mr. Duffy, in con-
sequence of Larkins charging West with stealing forty-
seven sovereigns. He took them both into custody, and
then accompanied by Sergeant Merry and Mr. Duffy, he
went and searched the premises of Larkins. While
searching, Mr. Duffy pulled a glove from among the
ashes of the fire-place, containing fifty-four sovereigns.
After a long conversation between the sitting Alder-
man, Alderman Gibbs, and Mr. Duffy,
Mrs. Larkins was placed in the witness-box, but not
sworn. To questions from the Bench she said that she
had known the prisoner for about a week, but her sister
for five years. The prisoner was in service in 14, South-
' street, Grosvenor-square. The fifty-four sovereigns
were Mrs. Larkins' own property, the fruits of
nine years' industry. Her husband had been
a policeman, but was latterly a letter-carrier in the
Post-office. She had not seen him since the day before
yesterday, but had received a letter saying that he had
gone to the country. Her husband knew nothing of the
sovereigns, as they were her own winning. She had no
wish to charge complainant. The policeman was called
in by Mr. Duffy.
Matthew Peake examined—Was a constable attached
to the Post-office, and took the husband Larkins into
custody yesterday, on suspicion of stealing a letter on
the 10th of July last, containing notes to the amount of
551. The notes had since that period been changed, and
he had no doubt that the present gold was part of
the plunder. The husband was remanded till Thurs-
day next, and he prayed that the present prisoner, and
Mrs. Larkins, might be also remanded for further
inquiry.
The prisoners were in accordance with his request re-
moved, to be brought up again when the evidence will
be completed.

CLERKENWELL.—(T HIS DAY.)
Two men, named Cokeley and Foley, were charged
with violently assualting Mary Began, and police-con-
stable 74 E.

The constable deposed that on the previous evening he
was alarmed by cries of murder, and on running into
Lamb's-court, Bloomsbury, saw Foley beating Mary
Regan violently. The woman was laying on the ground
bleeding profusely. Witness immediately seized Foley,
who at once knocked him down, and both struggled on
the pavement. At length witness got upon his.legs
,but
had no sooner done so than Cokeley ran over':and felled
-
witness with a blow. Both prisoners then attacked him,
and be would have been injured severely had it not been
for the immediate arrival of other constables.
The woman Began, either from illness or fear, declined
to come forward. The constable seemed to be severely
injured.

'Waddington, the gaoler, said Cokeley had been con-
victed at this court 19 times, and Foley 15. Cukeley was,
familiarly termed " the Jack of Clubs" by his vagatlohiF
associates, and he was the terror of the neighbourhood
in which he lived.

Mr. COMBE sentenced the prisoners to seven days'
imprisonment in the House of Correction, without the
power of releasing themselves by the payment of fine.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
The Secretary of the St. Olave's Society of " Odd
Fellows" attended for the purpose of giving information
of the following extensive robbery committed on the
funds of the society :—The applicant stated that an iron
box, containing four 1001. debentures, together with
three savings' banks books, containing entries of
1501., was intrusted to the care of Mr. Steven.
son, the treasurer of the society, who lived in
Loman's-street, Loman's-pond. The box and its
contents were kept in Mr. Stevenson's bed-room, and
on the preceding evening, during his and his wife's ab-
sence from home, the house was entered. The iron box
was broken open, and the whole of the contents taken;
the discovery having taken place on the return of the
parties to their house. The applicant added that there
appeared to have been no force used in entering the
house, the thieves having got in by the aid of a skeleton
key, with which they opened the street-door. The ob-
ject of the present application was to be made acquainted
with the best plan for the detection of the thieves.
Mr. COTTINOHAM advised the applicant to lose no
time in giving instant information of the robbery to the
police, and he also recommended that notice of what
had taken place might be given at the Bank of England,
as well as at the Savings' Banks, where a portion of the
Society's money was deposited.
The applicant, having thanked the magistrate, retired.

PETERHEAD, AUG. 9.—The following vessels left
Greenland on the 17th ult., in company with the Union,
which arrived here yesterday :—Anne, of Hull, two
whales, and 2,000 seals ; Hanover (foreign), clean ;
Altona (foreign), three small whales ; Augusta (foreign),
one whale.

THE LATE FIRE NEAR GRAVESEND.--CORONER'S
INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon a jury was empannelled
at the Rose and Crown, Upper Thorne, near 4ochester,
in Kent, before John Noble Dudlol.v, Esq., on the body
of James Miller, aged G 7, who died from injuries re-
ceived at the late fire. After hearing the evidence the
coroner summed up. It was quite clear that the acci-
dent happened from some defect in the flue ; the fire
thus communicated with the thatch of the roo, which
falling in upon deceased he thus met his end. The
jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death."
