MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London NervPrire Current of June 17.)

SUCAII.—To-day the market was well supplied with'Wec
India Muscovado Sugar; for refining brown and inferior de-
scriptions of yellow there was an extensive demand. In
bright grocery a good business was done. At public, sale
122 hhds and 3 tierces of Barbadoes were all sold upon
rather lower terms, tine yellow selling at 54s to 555, good 51s
to 535, middling 48s to .50s, and low 46s Gd to 475. 483 hhds
8 tierces and 56 barrels of St. Lucia were offered at auction,
and all sold at very full rates, excepting the bright grocery
kinds, which went a little cheaper. The total quantity of
Sugar sold to-day amounted to the enormous quantity of
1,700 hhds and tierces.
REFINED.—To-day the demand was as brisk as ever for
Refined goods for home consumption, and a further advance
in prices took place, brown grocery lumps fetching 72s Gd to
735, standard lumps 73s 6d to 745, and brown melting lumps
71s to 71s Gd per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar fetching
higher rates; sales having been made at 40s 9d to 41s per
cwt for first quality.
Mnumutts—All descriptions have been largely dealt in,
and a further advance in prices has taken place of 6d per cwt
for grey, brown, and inferior sorts of yellow ; whilst the better
kinds fully sustained the former value. By private treaty
many parcels have found purchasers, and at auction 9,221
bags, and 15 casks were all sold, good to fine yellow at 49s
to 52s 6d, mid to good mid 45s to 48s 6d, low 43s 6d to 44s 6d,
com to good grey 43s to 495, low to mid brown 35s to 40s,
and good to fine 41s to 43s percwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day all kinds of Foreign Sugar were much
sought after, and even stiffer rates were offered, but pur-
chases were restricted by the scanty supply at market; for
1,600 chests of low yellow Havannah 24s 6d per cwt paid,
and 26s 6d for a floating cargo of 2,000 chests of good mid
quality, which is rather higher.
EAST IsrnA.—Manilla has been disposed of to a large ex-
tent, and at rather higher prices; the private operations
amount to 14,000 bags of old quality at 23s to 245, but prin-
cipally at 23s 6d per cwt. Java is greatly wanted, and
advanced rates are offered, but few parcels are to be met with.
Holders of Bengal have manifested firmness, and none of any
kind has been brought to public sale; by private treaty a
good business has been transacted in all kinds at a small ad-

i=ance in prices. Of Dobah some parcels have been disposed
of at stiff rates. Madras has been purchased freely, and very
full prices given.

.
TEA.—To-day there was a good deal doing in the Tea
market, and 9,W to 10d per lb were the current rates paid
for common sound Congou cash. The market looks very
firm for nearly all kinds of Tea.
COFFEE. —This afternoon there was less doing privately in
good ordinary Ceylon, but holders were firm, and insisted
upon 48s to 49s per cwt. Jamaica is not so much in request,
and 51 tierces at auction were sold at barely former rates;
middling heavy colory went at 86s Gd to 87s 6d, low mid-
dling 80s to 83s 6d, fine fine ordinary 76s fine ord 61, good
ordinary sls to 525, mixed ditto 47s per cwt.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HoLLANDs.—The demand has been
brisk for Jamaica Rum ; very full rates have been given,
and the quantity sold has been 250 puns. Leeward Island
has been in excellent request, and prices are advancing.
Demerara is wanted, and stiffer rates are paid. For Calcutta
much inquiry has existed, but the reluctance of holders to
sell upon former terms, checks business. Brandy is still
attracting the attention of buyers, and prices are advancing.
For Geneva prices remain at Is 8d to is 9d for 'shipping, and
at 2s 2d to 2s 9d per gallon for home consumption. English
Corn Spirits are lOs 2d.

SPICES.—This afternoon 4,548 bags Penang Pepper were
brought to public sale, and chiefly sold, but at rather lower
rates, half heavy brown free from dust and stalks went at
23d to 20, sea damaged first and second class 2.id to 2id,
and third class 2id per lb. ; 24 brls and 8 casks of Jamaica
Ginger were disposed of at 51 Is to Cl 19s for mid and god
mid, and at 31 lOs per cwt for low quality, being cheaper ;
53 bags of Pimento went at 2id to 3d per lb for mid quality.
SAGO.—There has again been a good business transacted
by private treaty, and prices are still advancing; 140 bores
at public sales this afternoon, were sold at 25s (id to 27s 6d
for good to tine small white Pearl, but chiefly at 27s to 27s
6d per cwt, which is higher.
COCHINEAL—There was little desire evinced to operate
to-day, and privately few parcels of Honduras were disposed
of; at public sale 47 bags of Mexican black and 10 bags of
silvers were offered, the former only partly sold at about the
former value, viz., middling to good at 5s 5d to 5s Bd, fine
5s 9d to 53 103, the latter taken in at 4s 10d to 5s for un-
r;arbled, but a few lots of siftings were sold at 3s 7d to 4s sd,
and 17 bags ofCochineal garblings at Is 9d to is 10d per lb.
SALTPETRE.—The demand for rough is on the increase,
and by private treaty several parcels have been disposed of.
Holders show firmness, and supp!y the market less freely : at
public sale 1,000 bags of Calcutta were offered to-day, and
sold at full rates.

INDIGO.—The purchases made have been extremely limited
by shippers and the home trade, and those parties that are
inclined to sell have been compelled to take prices rather
under those of the last quarterly sales for all kinds, with the
exception of fine Bengal.
Oms.—This afternoon 30 tuns of Southern and 70 tuns of
Elephant Oil were brought to public sale, and went at lower
rates ; the former only partly sold at 291 15s for fine pale ;
the latter was only in part disposed of at 261 to •291 for mid
to fine, and low at 2515 s to 25/ lOs per tun.
TAI Low.—There has again been much activity in the
market for Russian, and a further advance in prices has taken
place. On the spot numerous purchases have been made, and
4039 d to 41s per cwt. are the current rates given for fine P.Y.C.
For delivery the demand has been active, and 41s to 41s 6d
per cwt paid for the last three months of the year; merchants
show much firmness, and at St. Petersburgh prices are still
rising with every prospect of the supply being much less than
the previous season.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S B.ENCII,JuneI7.

Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury.)

BAKER V. DREW.

This action was brought to recover compensation for the injury
which the plaintiff had sustaiined by reason of his leg having been
broken whilst returning upon the defendant's coach from the Derby
in 1844. It happened that upon the occasion in question, the
coach was driven by a person, who was stated by the plaintiff's wit-
nesses to be unskilful, and otherwise incompetent to perform the
duty, and that in returning from the course he not only took the
wrong side of the road, but otherwise drove so badly that some of
the passengers got off and refused to proceed with him to town.
Those persons, however, afterwards resumed their position although
no improvement occurred in the driving, and it happened at last
that the coach was driven so close to the side that the plaintiff's
leg, by striking against some projecting matter, was broken. The
injury affected the plaintiff's health considerably, and obliged him
to relinquish engagements as a bookkeeper, from which he derived
701. a year.

Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. E. James appeared for the plaintiff.
Mr. LUSH (with whom was Mr. Hawkins) appeared for the de-
fence, and called witnesses to show that the injury was partly ac.
cidental, and partly the consequence of the plaintiff's own negli.
gence in allowing his leg to hang over the coach in such a manner
as to meet the obstacle which it Would have otherwise escaped.
The Learned Counsel, in support:of his defence, called witnesses
who gave the coachman a good character in his capacity as a coach-
man, but none of the persons who so testified in his favour had
been driven by him for several years back.
Lord DENMAN told the jury that if the accident was produced by
the neglect of the plaintiff himself, he could not recover any ccm •
pensation, even though the driver was negligent; but if they con-
sidered that the plaintiff was not in fault, they ought to give him
damages adequate to the injury which he sustained.
The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 100/.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 17.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN THE MATTER OF BATT AND BATT, BANKRUPTS.
These bankrupts, who were silk-merchants in Broad-street, came
up to.day for their last examination. The official assignee stated
that he had every reason to be satisfied with the accounts, which
had been rendered with perfect fairness and fulness, and there could
be no doubt that the bankruptcy was entirely owing to a fall in the
silk trade.
No opposition was offered, the creditors having all declared them-
selves satisfied with the accounts.
The last examination was then passed, and
His HoNoua added—lt is not often that I am enabled to con.
gratulate bankrupts on the state of their accounts, as I am happy
to do in this case. The bankruptcy is evidently owing to a fall in
the silk market, and I congratulate you upon there being no rea-
son that you should feel any of that degradation, in the position
you now occupy, which is usually attached to persons who ap-
pear here.

We have been given to understand that the debts and liabilities
of the bankrupts are something less than 170,0001., of which about
130,000/. are fully secured, and the parties will receive 2.05. in the
pound ; upon the remainder a dividend of ss. or Os, Is expected.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Ann Pouller was brought before Mr. Maltby for final exa.
mination, charged with having caused the death of her infant by

violence.

The prisoner, it appeared, was servant at No. 19, Hanway-street.
She was delivered of the child on the 2d of May, and the discovery
was made immediately. The child was found dead under sus-
picious circumstances a few hours afterwards, and the police made
acquainted with the occurrence. As soon as the prisoner could be
removed she was brought to this Court and charged with destroy.
ing her child ; but as the prisoner was in a very weak state it was
deemed advisable to remand her to the hospital for such period as
would enable her to recover strength sufficient to encounter the
necessary judicial investigation.
Diana Hugo, charwoman, said that about six in the morning of
the 2d of May, she went to work at Hanway-street. When she
was let in she found marks of blood on the kitchen floor, and other
appearances, which, coupled with her previous suspicion of the
pregnancy of the prisoner, Induced her to believe that the prisoner
had recently been delivered. Witness called her mistress, who
came down stairs and questioned the prisoner. The prisoner de-
nied the accusation, and said she had been taken suddenly unwell,
but would soon be better. In consequence of hearing the cry of
an infant, witness looked about, and in the coal-cellar found a
female infant newly-born wrapped in a gown belonging to the
prisoner. The prisoner was put to bed, and the child was given to
her. At that time witness saw nothing more than two scratches
on the arm, and two light cuts or scratches on the throat.
Mrs. England, the mistress, proved the finding the child, the
sending for a surgeon, and the subsequent death of the infant under
suspiciou4 circumstances.
Mr. Odling, surgeon, said he was called early in the morning of
the 2d of May. He found the prisoner had just been delivered.
The child was in bed with her and appeared to be doing well. In
the evening witness called and found the child dead, with marks of
violence on its person, particularly about the head.
