(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 26.)
SUGAR.—The transactions in the West India Sugar market
have been upon a small scale only this week. To-day the small
parcels of good and fine yellow West India on show sold readily
1 at full and in same cases at rather higher rates; inferior de-
scriptions brought fully as much money, and more desire was
shown to do business ; in all 1,150 hhds have been sold for the
week.
REFINED. —Only a moderate demand has prevailed for Re-
fined Goods for home consumption. this week, and rather lower
rates have been accepted in some instances. Prices are still
going down for Bonded Crushed Sugar, and the purchases
made have been upon a small scale only at gas 6,1 to 25s 9d per
cwt for first quality. -The market is still firm for Loaves.
Treacle has been more in demand at 10s 6d to I la.
Bastards ISt to 19s for yellow, and at 14s to 15s 6d per cwt for
brown. Pieces at 20s to 23s per cwt. To-day the home trade
were large buyers of Refined goods, paying 75s 6d for Standard
and 74s 6d for brown grocery Lumps.
Jilauttyrzus.—Sugar of direct importation and of good
quality has been sought after; several parcels have been sold
at former rates ; in one contract 800 bags were disposed of, tilt)
bulk at 63s per cwt for strong grey.
EAST INDlA.—Manilla Sugar has been little inquired for,
and went rather lower. In Java prices are unaltered. This
afternoon the demand for Bengal was checked by the advanced
rates asked; at public sale, 1,334 bags were offered, the sound
nearly all taken in Is to 2s above the value—viz., good whites
at 68s t;cl to 69s 6d, middling 67s 6d to 68s, ordinary yellsm
60s 6d, middling 635, damp partly sold at 61s 6d to ir;9s,
washed 60s to 65s 6d, and damp yellow 57s to 60s per ewe.
Foartc sr.—Yellow Havannah is held for late prices*, white
may bo had at low terms; brown and yellow Brazil art held for
the former currency.
MoLassas.—Purchases in West India cannot be ras.de upon
lovier terms, but the amount of business done has been, trifling
during the week.
COFFEE.—AII clean qualities of West India are much
wanted by the town and country trade, and rather hig'ner rates
have been paid. This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was d isposed of
at 6d to Is advance; unclean Berbice low middling
at 88s, good and fine ordinary 60s to 655, low 46s to 50s;
Mocha, mid bright yellow 700 6d to 71s 6d ; Costa Brim taken
in at 50s for good ord. Company's Java sold at 47s to 48s for
good ord pale yellow ; sea damaged 43s to 43s 6d for fir st class,
and 36s 6d for second and third class. Sound good ord Ceylon
at 64s 6d to 6.5 s per cwt.
COCOA.—The good and fine qualities of West IndiA have
commanded former rates, but interior sorts are difficult e.f sale.
In Foreign little has been done privately, Bahia taken in. at 31a
for good red.
TsA...The largo public palm wore brought to a convituiva

Yesterday was 'appointed specially for hearing ap-
peals, of which thirty stand upon the list.
Out of the thirty cases which stood upon the list, no
fewer than twenty-eight were appeals between several
arishes, one against the other, with regard to the set-
gement of casual paupers, the support of illegitimate
children, most of which were quashed in consequence
of technical informalities. The sums expended upon
these appeals, including attorneys' costs, lawyers' fees,
and the attendance of agents and witnesses, must have
been enormous ; and if even they had not been
quashed, one or other of the parishes must have taken
the burden of the pauper, and thus the rate-payers'
pockets suffer for the litigation.
Henry Smith, of the White Hart, Catherine-street,
Strand, appealed against a conviction by David Jardine,
Esq., of Bow-street Police-court, which concerned the
convenience of a large body of men, whose business-
hours were those when others were at rest—namely,
the newspaper compositors.
The first witness called was Mr. Inspector Mullins
of the F division. He stated that on the night of the
27th of May, he entered the appellant's house, and on
entering a parlour where there was no light he found
four or five men and two women ; one woman and two
of the men were lying asleep on the bench. The par-
ties inside the bar, and in attendance, professed igno-
rance of any person being in the room at the time,
and said they always closed it at twelve o'clock. Mr.
Smith had gone over to the Morning Post newspaper
office, to receive his weekly paTments for the refresh-
ments supplied to the printers of that establishment, at
the time. Several prostitutes were in front of the bar
when he (the inspector) first entered the house. The
waiter at once brought in a light when it was called
for. He believed it was a house where a great many
printers connected with the Morniwi Chronicle, the
Morning Post, and most of the weekly papers, were in
the habit of going to have refreshment after their
respective papers were " made up."
Mr. BODKIN, for the appellant, said he thought the
Bench should, taking even the wording of the convic-
tion, quash it. It said the house was disorderly, and,
in support of that, stated that some men and women
were asleep, but it stated nothing about intoxication or
riot.

The CHAIRMAN said that this decision would press
hard upon a landlord. Surely they could not designate
a sleeping person as disorderly.—(A laugh.)
Several witnesses were called, who proved that the
room in question was always closed shortly after the
theatres, and not opened again until seven o'clock in
the morning. On the morning in question Mr. Smith
had gone over to the Morning Post office to get his
weekly accounts from the printers, and at that time
several persons were outside the bar, so that individuals
might have entered this room unperceived by those in-
side the bar. It was proved also that the coffee-room
was frequented by a number of printers from the Post
and other morning papers, who were never done work
before four or five o'clock in the morning.
The CHAIRMAN said it was the unpleasant lot of a
most useful and valuable set of mwn to be compelled to
stop up all night in their honest and respectable voca-
tion. It would be most unfair to prevent them from
having some place where they could get refreshment,
both during and after their working hours. Such being
his opinion, and also that the premises upon which the
conviction had been made were ill-founded, he should,
with the concurrence of his brother magistrates, order
the conviction to be quashed.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN—EXCHANGE.
We have received about an average time-of-year supply of
English wheat up to our Market since Monday, yet the show of
samples was trifling. The finest parcels found buyers, at full quo-
tations ; but, in other kinds, exceedingly little was doing. [he
transactions in Foreign Wheat were wholly retail, at previons
rates. The supply of Barley was not larger. Superfine malt-
ing parcels were quite as dear ; but grinding and distilling sorts
had a downward tendency. The quantity of Malt on show was
small, yet the transactions in it were trifling, at late rates.
'I here was a large supply of Irish Oats on offer, which kept the
Market in a dull state, yet prices were not lower. Other Grain
as on Monday.

Although our market was very scantily supplied with Beasts,
the demand for that description of stock was extremely dull.
However, the primest Scots found buyers, at prices about equal
to those obtained on Monday, but the value of other breeds
suffered a depression of 2d per Blbs. The numbers of Sheep
were comparatively small, yet the Mutton trade was heavy, at
barely stationary prices. In Calves, only a moderate business
was doing, but previous rates were supported. Pigs were in
fair average supply, and steady demand at late rates. Mitch
Cows sold slowly at from 161 to 1915 a each.

2s per cwt. ; the value of other kinds being firmly supported.
Old Hops command a brisk sale, at an improvement in value
of from 2s to -ks per cwt.

SooAa.—The business done in British Plantation continues

termed low prices for black Tea. To-day there was little de-
sire shown to purchase Tea ; at public sale 5,777 packages
