MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 30.)
The Colonial markets having been closed since Wednesday
last, we have few transactions to report; but they will be
re-opened on the 6th of January. A fair quantity of Produce
has come in since this day week, and several ships have
arrived oil' the coast, chiefly from the East Indies.
SUGAR.—The stock of British Plantation is now 14,056
hhds and tierces, which is 1,101 less than last year at this
time. The stock of Mauritius is 35,434 casks and bags,
which is 3,518 more than last year. The stock of Bengal
and Madras is now 94,183, which is 20,065 less
than last year, The stock of other East India
sorts is now 31,476, which is 89,659 bags less than
lust Year. The delivery of British plantation was 1,078 hhds
end 'tress which is 358 less than last yesr. The delivery of
Mauritius was 2,835 casks and bags, which is 1,307 more
than last year. The delivery of Bengal and Madras was
3,247 casks and bags, which is 1,206 less than last year.
The delivery of other East India was 296 bags, which is
4,478 less than last year.
REFINED.—There was a better desire manifested by the
home trade to purchase Refined goods, and several parcels
were disposed of. There is still only a moderate quantity of
Refined Sugar being produced, and prices are low in com-
parison with those that prevail for the raw article. Of Pieces
many parcels have been sold and prices are firm. Bastards
are at present little wanted, and lower rates are taken.
Treacle has been in good demand at firm rates; boiled from
West India Molasses selling at 21s to 225, patent 22s to
235, and golden syrup 23s to 25s per cwt. The
consumption continues to be large. The market for bonded
crushed Sugar has a dull appearance and lower rates have
been taken, sales to a small extent having been made at
33s Gd to 34s per cwt for first quality. The market will be
much better supplied shortly. Treacle has moved off slowly
at 14s. In the value of Dutch crushed Sugar little variation
has taken place. Belgium has been purchased with caution
at 30s to 335. The business transacted in loaves made here
under bond is extremely limited, prises looking down.
FOREloll.—There are still very few orders for yellow
Havannah Sugar, and merchants experience difficulty in
keeping up prices. Brown Brazil has been purchased with
much caution by exporters and our refiners working under
bond, and prices are still drooping. White is neglected, and
is upon easier terms. In other descriptions of Foreign there
has been scarcely any business transacted, and the tendency
of prices is still downwards.
SPlRlTS.—Jamaica Rum is held with firmness, but there
is only a moderate business transacted. Leeward Island can-
not be obtained upon lower terms, but the business done has
been limited. Demerara has been purchased with caution.
For Calcutta the demand has been only for small parcels at
Is lid to 2s per gallon proof with certificate. The market
for Brandy has a firm appearance, and a fair business trans-
acted. Geneva for exportation has been sold at 2s to 2s 2d
for common quality.
Hops.—The transactions have been to a fair extent, and at
prices_ differing little from those previously quoted. Middle
Kent Bags met with the most attention, and of such the
stock in first hands is much reduced.
SALTPRTRE.—HoIders of Rough show firmness, and bought
in the whole of 3,670 bags at public sale, at full rates. English
Refined has been in good demand at 30s 6d to 3ls. The va-
lue of Nitrate of Soda is 14s to 15s per cwt, but there are
few buyers to be met with.
CocnrsEAL.—Holders are less inclined to realise, and have
refrained from offering any at public sale; privately a fair
business has been transacted, but not at better prices.
LAC DYE.--There are sellers upon rather lower terms, but
the demand has been only for small parcels ; common quality
at 5d to 7d, middling 8d to ls, good is 2d to Is Bd, fine
is 9d to 2s 6d per lb.
TaLLow.—Holders have confidence on account of the great
deficiency there is in the stock compared with that of last
year, and the large consumption there is going on; the trade
are still inclined to increase their stocks, and the rates given
have been rather higher for Russian. There has been a good
demand from the town and country trade on the spot. For
forward delivery many contracts have been entered into at
42s for January, and 42s 3d to 42s 6d per cwt for February.
and March. Home made Tallow has been in excellent re-
quest at 42s to 42s 6d nett cash.
Cmcony.—There has not been much business transacted,
the value is 54s to 56s per cwt, duty paid, and root 91 to
10/ per ton in bond.
OILS.—The low rates that prevail for all descriptions of
common Fish Oils cause holders to be less inclined to realise,
and they have refrained from offering any at public sale. Of
Cod several parcels have been disposed of at 26/ to 261 lOs
per tun. In Southern the operations have been upon a more
extended scale, but not at better prices. Seal has been dis-
posed of to a fair extent, but holders are unable to obtain any
advance in prices. Sperm is not offered at any further de-
cline in prices, but the trade has been cautious in their pro-
ceedings. Linseed Oil has been in extensive request on the
spot at 24s 6d to 25s per cwt, and for forward delivery many
contracts have been entered into at 25s 6d to 265. Rape Oil
has been in good demand, and the supply being small prices
keep firm. In Cocoa Nut purchases to a fair extent have
been made upon former terms. Palm is held with firmness.
In Olive a good business has been transacted, and in conse-
quence of the smallness of the stock, holders manifest much
firmness. Lard Oil has been purchased with caution at 40
o 431 per tun.

TratrENTlNE,—Rough has been in good demand at 13s, and
at which a large parcel has been disposed of. Spirits h?.ve
been purchased with more freedom, and stiffer rates are
given.

POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE.
MANSION-ROUSE.

Dennis Shine, a young man who had been a police.
man some time ago, was brought up for final examina-
tion, on the charge of having committed several most
desperate assaults in the Bell, in Little Friday-street,
on Friday evening. The person most injured, a
policeman named John Monaghan, was not able, in con-
sequence of the injuries he sustained, to attend until yes-
terday.
John Monaghan (policeman 541) stated that he was
sent for to the house in consequence of a very serious
disturbance there on the evening in question. When he
arrived there were five or six policemen round the door,
and he saw the prisoner inside a nom on the second
floor, through a hole in the panel of the door, and asked
him to give himself up. The prisoner refused, and said
he would kill any policeman who attempted to enter.
Witness at once pushed in the door, and on going into
the room was violently assaulted by the prisoner, who
struck at him with the handle of a fire-shovel, which he

(the prisoner) held with both his hands. Witness re-
ceived the blow across the arm and under the eye. The
prisoner then levelled another desperate blow at the
witness, which broke through his hat, and inflicted a
severe wound on the back part of his head, but witness
laid hold of his assailant, and managed to get him down,
and then the prisoner said he should submit. The wit-
ness was obliged to leave the room immediately after-
wards, and was for a time quite blind in consequence of
the desperate nature of the assault.
It appeared from other evidence that the prisoner had
been previously quarrelling at the bar, where he knocked
down the waiter and jumped upon his face; that when
the police were called for in consequence of that vio-
lence, he ran into the tap-room, seized the kitchen
poker, knocked a man senseless under the table with a
back-handed blow of it, cleared the room of all the cus-
tomers, and then ran up stairs, and fastened himself in
the room, in which he was at length apprehended, and
in which he very nearly committed murder.
The prisoner said, that he had been struck by one of
the policemen above stairs through the panel of the door,
before he touched Monaghan, and that in his rage he
had retaliated, without being particular as to the person
whom he punished.
The LORD MAYOR—I commit you for trial, and I shall
direct the City Solicitor to prosecute you at the Central
Criminal Court.

Prisoner—Won't your Lordship take bail?
The LORD MAYOR—Certainly not.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.
John Loba, a Dutchman, was charged with having, on
the 25th of June last, stolen three watches, worth seve-
rally 65 guineas, 40 guineas, and 30 guineas.
Mr. John Burley, of No. 56, Ernest street, Th. gent's-
park, watchmaker, stated that on the 25th of June he
was sent by a Mr. Viner to No. 3, St. George's-terrace,
Bayswater-road, to show some watches and clocks to a
Mr. Delara. Upon inquiring for Mr. Delara he was
sent up to the first floor, where he saw the prisener,who
was quite at his ease, smoking a cigar like a gentleman.
The prisoner, upon being asked, said that he was Mr.
Delara, and that the watches, but not the clocks, were
for him; but he expected a captain would call very soon
who was going to make a present to the lady of a watch,
and probably his choice would fall upon one of them.
The prisoner then took a watch, covered with pearls,
value 65 guineas, out of the room, for the purpose of
showing it, but soon returned, and then took away the
three watches under pretence of exhibiting them to his
lady. Witness waited, but Mr. Delara never returned.
The servant girl, upon being spoken to by witness, in-
sisted that Mr. Delara was in the drawing-room, hut the
hall door being found open the matter was fully ex-
plained—the prisoner had absconded with the property.
The prisoner—l am not the man ; it is quite a mis-
take. I was in Holland in June, and I never carne h, re
till November.

The LORD MAYOR (to the witness)—Have you any
doubt of the prisoner's identity? Witness—Not the
least.

Inspector Shackell, to whom information of the rob-
bery had been given, and who apprehended the prisoner,
said he had traced the pearl watch to a gentleman in
Regent street, who had purchased it of Mr. Phillips, by
whom it had been purchased of Mr. l)elara. Witness
said he had met with the greatest facilities from both the
parties named in pursuing the investigation.
Mr. Phillips, of Castle-street, Houndsditch, watch-
maker, said that he purchased three watches of the pri-
soner at the end of June or the beginning of July, and
the pearl watch produced was one of them. He was con-
vinced the prisoner was the man.
The father of the last witness also identified the pri-
soner as the person who had sold the watches.
The L RD NI AYOR.—WeII, prisoner, what do you say
to all this evidence ?

The prisoner—Why, I say they mistake the person. I
know nothing about the watches or about them. I can
write to Holland to prove I was there at the time you
speak of. I was there in June and I was not here till
November.

The LORD MAYOR.—You might have been there in
June and here too, and you might have been there in
November too.

Prisoner.—But it is all a gross mistake.
Inspector Shackell said be should be able still more
strongly to confirm the identity, and the prisoner was re-
manded.
GUILDHALL.

A butcher, named Taylor, who sometimes retails meat
at the stalls of Mr. Sadler, a wholesale butcher, in New-
gate-street, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Challis
for vending a kg of pork, unfit for human food, on the
23d inst.

Henry Gatfield, of George street, :Cambridge-heath,
stated that he and his wife came to Newgate market to
buy their Christmas dinner, hoping to fare better than if
they purchased nearer home. At Mr. Sadler's stall they
found what appeared to be a very suitable joint, a leg of
pork, weighing 161 b., for which they paid 7s. 6d. A
good blazing fire was made up on Christmas-day, and
big as it was, the leg was expected to be thoroughly
roasted in four hours. At the end of two hours the
family were astonished that there was no savoury fumes
about the premises, such as might be expected from the
action of a good fire on a nice leg of pork, and it was
examined and found to be as soft and raw as if it had not
been placed at the fire at all. It was curious, and in the
next two hours it was looked at pretty often, but still
presented the same uncooked, be-devilled appearance.
At the appointed dinner hour it was taken up and
strictly examined. The meat had become redder, oddly
red, but it was evidently still raw. A. stronger fire was
made up and it was put down again, And at the end of
six hours it was in the same state of rawness as at the
end of four hours or two hours. It was clear the leg
would not roast, and that something else must be :. üb-
stituted for the Christmas dinner. When he called early
next morning on the salesman, he gave him the name of
defendant as the person who had the use of the stall at
the time. He produced the joint, which had an un-
sightly appearance and a tough skin.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said this story put him in
mind of the nursery rhyme, "fire, fire, won't burn pig."
What aas the reason tne meat would not roast ? The
complainant said he was unable to tell the cause. He
could only speak to the fact.
It was surmised that it was the leg of a very old boar
pig, fattened up for sale, and that he had died of smother-
ing, and without having the blood drained out of him,
upon some railway.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS asked if he could show that the
animal must have been infected with some disease ?
The complainant said he could not.
The defendant said he could prove by the clerk of the
market, and another butcher, to whom he showed a part
of the pig, on receiving the summons, that it was not
diseased.

Mr. Alderman CHALLIS asked him to look at the meat,
and say if it was good.
The butcher replied, he could not say.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS reminded the complainant
that he had been accustomed to buy meat, and if
there was nothing in the appearance of the meat when
fresh cut up to excite suspicion, might not the butcher
be also deceived ? If he ordered the butcher to repay
the whole money, he must help him to recover it from
some otht r party, and he did not know where the pro-
cess would stop. They had both erred in judgment
while buying, and should, perhaps, divide the loss.
Both parties agreed to this, and the matter was settled.
A.B. remitted 21. for the poor box.
LAMBETH.

Thomas Smith, William David Eales, and Ann Jones,
alias Smith, who have been in custody for some days
past, on a charge of being concerned in the robbery at
the house of Mr. Hamblin. an aged and infirm gentleman,
3, Crayford-road, Coldblovr-lane Camberwell, were
brought before Mr. Henry for further examination.
The first witness called was Mr. Thomas Phillips,
who gave his address at the Hall of Commerce,
Threadneedle-street. He deposed that he had seen the
prisoner Smith before, and was perfectly confident of
his identity. When requested by Mr. Henry to state
the circumstances under which he had before seen
Smith, Mr. Phillips said, that on the afternoon of Sun-
day, the 14th instant, he went to visit his sister, Mrs.
Hamblin, whose husband has been a long time bed-
ridden, at her house in Crayford-road, Camberwell.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, while sitting at the
bed-side of his brother-in-law, his sister, Mrs. Hamblin,
came in in a great state of agitation, and beckoned to him
to follow her to the next room. He did so, and Mrs. Ham-
blin then informed him that there was a strange man in
the house, and showed him a letter which he had given
her. His sister then commenced reading the letter to him
in a low tone of voice, lest her husband should hear it; fur,
from the state he was then in, the slightest excitement
must have producA his death. After hearing the con-
tents Of the letter, witness went into the passage, where
he saw the prisoner Smith, and, addressing him, said,
" Pray, what is your business here ?" and while so ad-
, dressing him, he saw that he had a dirk in his hand.
The prisoner replied, " I have come for the money in
the house, and if I don't have it in a few minutes I'll
call in my men who are outside, and the house will be
plundered." On finishing the sentence, he.drew from his
left hand coat-pocket a horse pistol, and proceeding towards
the hall-door, partially opened it and gave a whistle
when a second man, armed as he was himself, with a
pistol and dagger, came in. There was some communi-
cation between them, when the second man stood up in
a corner shaded from the light, that he, witness, should
not see his face, so as to be able to identify him again.
He had, however, a perfect view of the features of
Smith, and had recognised in them at the time a partial
likeness to two friends of his own, with whom he bad
done business, and this circumstance bad so strongly
impressed his mind with the whole of the prisoners'
countenance, that he could have no difficulty, even at a
remote period, of speaking with perfect certainty to his
identity, and was confident he was the man. The pri-
soner Smith spoke to him and said, " If you'll let me
have 101. I'll leave the house, and take my men away,"
and at this Sim! Mr. H. Phillips thought the second man

had left the house. Witness told Mrs. Hamblin what
the prisoner said about the 101., and she went up stairs
in great agitation to look for the money as he supposed;
she had not been gone many minutes, when Smith called
out, " Is that lady coming ? I'll only allow two minutes
before I call my men in." He (witness) here recollected
he had a bank note in his pocket for 101., and followed
his sister up stairs to tell her so, and they returned
together. Witness then walked up to Smith, and ad-
dressing him, said, " If I give you this 101. note will
you be off immediately," and the prisoner replied that
he would. Witness then gave Smith the note, upon
which he turned round, and proceeded towards the street
door, and he (witness) was following him. The pri-
soner, perceiving this, turned round, and when within
about three feet of him, presented the pistol to his breast
and vowed he would shoot him if he followed him, or
even looked after him. In about five or ten minutes atter
witness went to the station-house and gave information
of what had occurred. The inspector came back with
him to the house, and on examining the place they dis-
covered some footmarks in the garden at the back of the
house where Smith had been, and where he had presented
a pistol at Mrs. Hamblin. The note lie had given the
prisoner he had received at the banking-house of Messrs.
Williams, Deacon, and Co., in change for a cheque lor
11/. odd. The female prisoner and the prisoner Eales
were perfect strangers to him.
After some further evidence was given, Inspector
Campbell rut in the original letter presented by the pri-
soner Smith to Mrs. Hamblin on the night of the rob-
bery, and one received since the last examination, of
which the following is a literal copy :
"My lady,—l write these few lines to inform you that
I have been sent here by a gentleman for your money,
and I must proceed in getting it ; and if you refuse me
the men outside (twelve in number), will come in and
plunder the house, and if you make any noise your lives
will be in danger.
" To the lady of the house."
This was followed by a similar letter.
Mr. HENRY expressed his determination to send Smith
and Jones for trial ; but, in order to give the officers
time to procure further evidence as against Eales, re-
manded all of them to a future day.

UNDER SEN-
