UNION-HALL.

Yesterday a considerable portion of the time of
the Magistrates of Union-hall was occupied in an in-
vestigation relative to the misconduct of a man,
named Myers, and his wife, towards a number of
poor and destitute fem de children, who have been
placed under their protection to learn a sedentary
trade called tamboar-work, by the United Parishes
of St. Giles and Bloomsbury,- and Lambeth.—
Myers and his wife keep a large house at Brixton,
mid for some years past thin officers of the parishes
above stated have been in the habit of sending out
the female children belonging to the workhouse to
those persons.
After hearing evidence at some length, the Ma-
gistrates concurred in the opinion that the conduct
of the defendants towards the children was gross in
the extreme.

It was ultimately arranged that the whole of the
children should be immediately taken away from the
factory, and those who were apprenticed to the de-
fendants should have their indentures cancelled.
basil AFFAIRS.—Messrs. Daniel line and
Timothy Heely were charged with having given
several hard strokes to Mr. Dennis O'Keefe, one of
Mr. Daniel O'Connell's Popish police, who 11115 re-
cently been promoted to a watchmaney, in the Pro-
testant parish of Sr. Andrew, Holborn.
" It was after twelve yesterday morning, please
your Worship," said Mr. Dennis O'Keefe, " myself
was sent by the Enspector to the Red Lion, in
Shoe-lane, for a pint of beer—in regard he was very
drys and to borry the newspaper for Jim, So I
hears a great noise inside of it, end there was Mister
Buckniaster, the landlord, trying to turn out them told
many others—God knows how many there might
be, but it is'nt for me to say, in regard they was
innumerable; but I lent him my ass-Instance to get
out, and these two was in "it; by whiA rnime6
this man's wife gives me a dacint slap in the jaws,
and then hollo'd out that I struck she I—Which,
upon my honour and conscience, I'd scorn to do at
al! to any lady. Then this man comes up and struck
me, Iraq J gpt several strokes arnornst 'cm—very
hard indeed ; and J strongly sn,pect 1 got three of
'em from this other man; but I ran away wjd meself
for tear I'd get more, and my fellow-sarvent Torn
Long, the t'other watchman, can tell your Worship
more about it than meself."

Tor,a .;;I,c. w, the " t'other watchman," deposed
that, hearing A great noise at the Red Lion, hp wept
there and found more. than twenty' 11.4, Men and
women, drinking and shrieking, and refuiing to quit
the honse. Ile also saw his partner, Mr. Dennis
Oqceple, mnong thpn and slily the prisoner Mr.
Dun. Brie strike at Mr. prinis 014 g re, but viket.:
titer the blow took effect, he, this depcnent, could
not say.

" Why then I say he did," cried Mr. Dennis
O'Keefe, " and 1 lost a great deal of my Wood by
bin) I"

Mr. in his !lefcncei said—" your
Ho-
nour 11i get ihe 0,14 of it it ye!ll listen tq me.
Me and wife had been to markerthat time? ,r,(l we
wint into the Red Lion to git some sucktiou to
nourish us. Then, when we got the suektion and
1V45 coming out, I heard a terrible scrame, and saw
friend leading my wife away hack, very weak, and
'ices this opl4 jintiernap (Mr. Dennis O'Keefe)
brandishing a pint pot which it was him that (lig
it, anti I wanted to give him in charge; hut the Pig?
lisp wetelimp (Tom 4opg) wouldn't take him at
all for me."
Tom Long was recalled, and, In answer to a (pies-
tion put to him
by the Court, he said he could not
take Ml'. Dennis O'Keefe in charge, for the land-
lord had put him in the cellar !
Indeed he said Mr. Dennis O'Keefe,"
and very happy I was to get there when I found all
the hard strokes coming upon me.' I couldn't tell
bow many people there was—l couldn't count 'em
i'hey were innumerable and all of them • pelting at
Me because Y lent the 'landlord my
ass-bistance to
get 'em out; and I swear positively to this man

giving me three strokes, and almost to a certabily
that I got several strokes from the t'other."

A niaster tailor, brother to one of- the prisoners,
now mounted the witness box, and declared that
though he was an Irishman himself, he would say
that an Irish watchman was not to he believed.
" An English watchman," said he, " is a man of
honour and conscience; but the Irish will say or
swear any thing, for they don't consider tie oath
you put to them ut all binding upon their con—
sciences."

In consequence of this representation, Mr. Dennis
O'Keefe, was re-sworn " on the Cross;" but 'the
master tailor took nothing by his motion, for Mr.
Dennis O'Keefe still stuck to his text, and the de-.
fendants were held to bail to answer his comptaint
at the Sessions.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Tuesday.)
SUGAR.—The demand for the good descriptions
of Muscovades continued steady and general during
the .last week ; the estimated sales were 3,000
hogsheads and tierces ; the late advance we stated in
the good qualities was fully maintained; the refiners
were considerable purchasers.—The comparative
stock of Sugar rather decreased last week; the de-
liveries from the warehouses have been 2,844
hogsheads and tierces, being 340 less than the cor-
responding week of 1828. At the close of the
Market the estimated sales this day, including the
Barbadoes Sugar, 138 hogsheads and tierces, at
public sale, were 1,100 hogsheads and tierces. '1 he
Refined Market was well cleared of goods during the
last week, but the demand towards the dose was by
no means brisk or extenshe ; there was very little
alteration in the prices. Molasses dull. There are
more inquiries this afternoon for low goods, and no
low Lumps now -offer at 745. Molasses are very
dull, and 6d. lower.

&lases of private contract were reported. At public
sale 400 chests Havannah, all washed, Were offered,
41s. and 425. paid for fine strthig, White; the quality
was very good and strong, and generally they sold
on low terms. 135 chests 31 barrels Brazil were
generally very indifferent Sugars, and nearly the
whole was taken in.

the inferior qualities went off Is. lower, the good C(.)

neglected at present.

tract there were extensive inquiries after St. Do-
mingo, Havannah, and Brazil Coffee; some parcels
ord. St. Domingo sold 375. 6d. and 38s. and yester-
day 395., and it was reported 500 bags fine were
sold at 405., the latter is, however, doubtful; some
very ord. Brazil sold at 375., and generally the busi-
ness would have been most extensive, but the
holders refused to sell at the present currency.

and no purchases by private contract were reported.
The Coffee at the India House sold 2s. higher, since
which Is. premium has been paid.

chests Manilla; 77 chests Java-883 withdrawn;
leaving 4,811 chests for sale, -of which about 500

without much animation, owing to the scarcity of
Foreign orders, and the small attendance of home
