POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—Eleven disorderly females were brought to
this Office, from the vicinity of Covent-garden. The eldest of them
did not exceed 18, and several of them were not more than 12 and
13 years of age. They were charged with following and insult-
ing Ledbetter, an officer of this establishment, as he was passing
with his wife under the Piazzas the previous night. He was fol-
lowed, on being recognised by a crowd of thieves and prostitutes,
and it was with great difficulty himself and the watchmen succeed-
ed in apprehending them.
Sir R. BIRNIE, after remarking on the extreme youth of some
of the prisoners, and the well known profligacy of the whole ; sent
them for one month's hard labour to the House of Correction, ob-
serving that the most of them, though young, were old offenders,
and nothing but severity could prevent them from infesting the
neighbourhood.

MARYLEBONE.—Mary Collins, a respectably dressed female,
and the wife of a gentleman's coachman, was committed for steal-
ing a piece of beef from the shop of Mr. Baker, butcher, in Tot
tenham Court-road.

HURST, ROBINSON, AND CO.'s BANKRUPTCY.

Yesterday morning, a meeting of the creditors was held before
the Commissioners, in Basinghall-street, for the purpose of audit-
ing the accounts of the assignees. From the balance-sheet, it
appeared that the bankrupts' stock was originally valued at
208,0611. 12s. 7d. Cash had been obtained by sales to the
amount of 2,8301. 15s. 9d. ; by bills, 5, 7871. 9s. ; and, on cre-
dit, 5,0001. A dividend had been declared on two accounts ;on
which cash had been received, viz.—J. Ogle Robinson, of 1,4611.
3s. 5d.,1 and Thomas Hurst of 1,7691. 4s. 91d., which will
make about three-pence in the pound.
Mr. RICH ARDSON drew the attention of the Commissioners to
one item, viz. the sale of the Edinburgh Gazettes, for 1,6261.
10s., valued at 2,8501. He then read a protest against this sale
by the Assignees, dated Nov. 24, in last year, on such low terms.
Mr. MoNrAcu (the Commissioner) read the 106th section of
the Act, and said that an inquiry into such a sale could not be had
before them.

The meeting then adjourned, and a special meeting of the cre-
ditors will he called, to inquire into this as well as other subjects.

THE MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—There was considerable briskness in the Sugar Market
on Tuesday, above 1,200 casks were sold ; and the good Mus-
covades went off 6d. to Is. per cwt. higher ; since then the re-
quest has become languid, but the improvement in the prices
has been maintained. This forenoon there was the same languor
in the Sugar Market, and the sales were only 400 casks ; some
low brown Jamaica sold at 575. Stock, 20,215 hhds. ; 1,265
higher ; 2,095 tierees
11er than at the
andte barrels.es.andbar7ls.

same period in 1826. There was a good demand for _Refined
Goodl early in the week, but the request since subsided ; there is
no Alteration in the currency. This day there was a good demand
for export goods, and they are still very scarce; the goods suitable
for the home consumption are very heavy. In East India or in
Foreign Sugars there is no alteration.
COFFEE.—The public sales this week have gone off heavily;
the British Plantation descriptions (both Jamaica and Demerara)
at a further reduction of ls. a 2s. on all qualities below middling;
the few of that description on sale have gone off freely at the
former prices. There has been no Foreign Coffee disposed of
either at public sale or by private contract till this da ; the quo-
tations were, in consequence, nominal. Stock in the West India
Warehouses :-9,181 hhds. and tces. ; 78,947 bags and barrels ;
last year 12,877 hhds, and tees., 70,919 bags and barrels. The
present prices are 3s. a 4s. lower than in 1826. The large pub-
lic sales of 51,000 bags in Holland, of which 46,000 bags sold,
have had no effect on this market. The public sale this forenoon
attracted some attention, as 395 bags Foreign were brought for-
ward ; the good ordinary coloury Brazil was taken in at 48s. ;
some St. Domingo good withdrawn at 475. 6d. to 48s. ; about
100 packages British Plantation, chiefly Demerara, sold at the re-
duction we have stated, middling 755.; the market is exceedingly
languid and rather lower.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HoLtaNns.—The Rum Market has be-
come more firm ; the chief sales have been parcels of Leeward
Island Rum for export, and parcels free on board, which last week
sold about 2s. 6d. 3 and 4 over, have realised this week id. per
gallon higher ; the Market is, however, far from brisk.
Stock . 14,014 puns. 847 hhds.
Last Year 15,459 puns. 1,337 hhds.

The demand for Brandy has been confined to parcels for ex-
port, of which about 200 puncheons have been sold, chiefly new
and inferior, for the United States.—For the Geneva arriving the
holders are asking about 2s. 7d.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—The rise in the prices of Beef and Pork
in Ireland has no effect on this Market. The trade continues lan-
guid, but the holders expect an improvement in the demand for
shipping, on account of the vessel* taken up yesterday by the East"

India Company. The freights are low, about 101. to 11/. ; last
year they were about 151. Bacon is rather higher. Butters con-
tinue exceedingly scarce, and if there had been the usual demand,
the prices would have been very high.
COTTON.---The Cotton Market continues without briskness.--
The sales for the week ending last night were quite trivial, and
the market will probably continue dull till the result of the India
House sale next week transpires.
Hyson, contrary to the general expectation, went off Id. to 21.
per lb. lower—say 4s. 7d. a ss. 4d.

- raTETRE.—:The public sale on Tuesday above 2,000 bags
Saltpetre, refraction 4 to 6, went off at 235. a 235. 6d. ; since
which the market has become heavy.
TEA.—The tea sale closed this afternoon.
HEMP, FL Ax, AND TALLow.—The Tallow Market has become
heavy, the prices are lower. In Hemp or Flax there is little al-
teration. At the close of 'Change this afternoon, the Tallow
Market rather revived, the price which yesterday :vac Si's. 3d.
to-night is 375. 9d.

Tt7RPENTINE.-The Market prices support the public sale of
16s. for good quality.
SPICES.—East India Spices continue neglected. By public
sale this forenoon 50 bags white Pepper taken in at 35., 70 bags
good black withdrawn at 4kd. a 41(1. ; it is reported 800 bags
good light have been taken privately at Sid. in Company's bags.
OILS.—The Oil Market is rather heavy.
Toßacco.—The sales of Tobacco this week are about 150
hhds. for Ireland, chiefly of the low Irish descriptions.
INDIGO.—The demand for Indigo rather revived this week,
about 300 chests changed hands at full prices. There was a
public sale brought forward this week ; a small parcel of East
India, probably to try the market, but it went off without pro-
ducing any effect; the whole was taken in much above the pre-
sent currency.

FRuir.---In the late arrival of Currants there appears to be
rather a large quantity damaged ; some small parcels of sound
have been sold. The quality of the late arrivals generally is very
good. A large parcel of Denial in baskets, of fine quality, has
been sold at 355. The demand for Fruit generally continues li-
mited. The public sale of Currants this forenoon, about 120
packages, all more or less damaged, sold 81s. a 87s.
