ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

HOME CIRCUIT, LEWES, AUG. 13.

The „Assizes at thin place are very light, only 17 pri-
soners being placed in the calendir, and very few of those
for capital offences. The commission having been opened
on Saturday by Mr. Sergeant SeANKIE,
This morning Mr. Justice Past addressed the Grand
Jury, and commenced trying the prisoners.
Jacob Moses Cohen, aged 22, was indicted for forging
a cheque for 231., upon the Brighton Bank, of Messrs.
Hall, West, and Barrer, with intent to defraud, and in
other counts, for uttering the same, knowing it to be
forged.
Mr. ADOT,TITUS, in addressing the Jury, almost admitted
that he could not bring the offence home to the prisoner.
The Learned Judge was of the same opinion, and directed
the Jury to acquit the prisoner, which was instantly done.
Mary Pick and Philip Wicks were indicted, the first
for stealing a watch and some silver money from John Cop-
ley, at Brighton, on the 18th of July, and the male pri-
soner for receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen.
The Jury found them both Guilty, and the Learned
Judge sentenced Mary Pick to seven years, and Philip
Wicks to fourteen years' transportation.
Mr. Justice PARK observed, that as the prosecutor was
in some degree guilty, he should not grant him his expences.
Mr. Justice GAzELEE sat at Nisi Price, but nothing
occurred of public interest.

SALE AT THE EAST INDIA HOUSE.
(THIS DAY.)

SALTPETRE.—,-The quantity offered for sale was by no
weans considerable, and a great deal of competition arose
betwt•een the brokers. The prices obtained were from
235. W. to 255., with an inclination for an advance on
the latter quotation.

CASSIA Buns—Principally of the growth of 1825,
brought from 6s. to 7s. 2d., but they were rather dull of
sale at the latter price. •
NUTMEGS.—The quantity offered was small, and the
prices obtained were from 3s. 4d. to 3s. 7d. ; the pur-
chases being nearly all made by the same person.
GINGER from 18s. to 195., and plenty of purchasers.
CASSIA WOOD for exportation only, from 70s. to 80s.,
and in one instance 825., were obtained for a prime sample.
S;Go from 17s. 6d. to 18s. 6d., very little demand.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—Auo. 13.

There was a pretty good muster yegterday of the betting
meu, and some few of the grandees, but the business done
was not by any means commensurate to the attendance.
Material alterations have taken place in the positions of
the favourites. At one part of the afternoon Granby was
decidedly the favourite, but towards the evening, Mame-
hike rallied, and got at evens with him. Nonplus and
Matilda are close together, which we should not consider
:is being in exact accordance with the York running.
Translation has advaaced several points, and 1000 to 800
was betted on Matilda against her. The odds at six
o'clock wore thus
