PRICE OF SUGAR.
The Average Price of Sugar computed from the Returns
made in the week ending Oct. 28, was 355. Sid. per cwt., ex-
clusive of the duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on
the importation thereof into Great Britain.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Cu, rent of Oct. 31.)
SUGAR.- To-day the improved rates previously established
were fully supported for all sorts of British Plantation Sugar,
and a fair business was transacted, 400 hhds, &c., finding
buyers, making the total sales for the week 2260 hhds and
tierces. Some of the brokers have scarcely any Sugar on show.
REFINED. -To- day Refined goods were purchased freely by
the home trade, and higher rates were paid, brown grocery
lumps selling at 64s to 655, and standard lumps 65s 6d to 6Gs
per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and offered
at 36s per cwt for the best.
MAuttertus.-An increased desire has been•manifested to
purchase, and for all descriptions there has been a very good
demand for the scale and pan; the rates given are
fully equal to those previously quoted, and merchants
refrain from largely supply ing the market, although
the stock still exhibits an increase over that of last year.
At public sale 5343 bags were all disposed of, fine yellow at
53s 6d, good 52s Gd, good middling 51s 6d, middling
49s 6cl to 51s, low 46s to 48s, fine brown 455, middling 425,
middling to good grey 46s to 51s, washed 43s to 51 s 6d, and
syrup 38s Gd to 47s 6d per cwt. By private contract some
parcels were disposed of at similar rates, a larger quantity
would have found purchasers had it been ffered for sale.
EAST Ist-sta.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in brisk
demand, and the parcels offered at public sale were all sold,
viz., 3,161 bags at full rates, very fine white brought 60s to
61s, fine 57s 6d to 58s. good, 55s 6d, middling 54s Gd to 555,
low 53s to 51s, middling yellow not grainy 51s: Gd to 52s
6d; good strong Mauritius sort 52s 6d to 53s 6d, middling
50s to 525, low 45s 6d, damp of the various sorts 53s to 61s,
interoir 44s to 50s, washed 42s to 50s. Sugar drainage
damaged 50s to 525, good damp brown 41s, middling 38s, and
low washed 365.
MOLASSES. -For West India the demand has been brisk,
anc stiffer rates have been paid for all descriptions. The
total purchases amount to 600 puns, Antigua fine 24s to 255,
Demerara low old 20s, Dominica 255, and St. Vincents 21s.
At auction 71 brls. and 80 tuns of Mauritius were sold at 17s
to 16s per cwt. The stock of Molasses in first hands is much
reduced. Bengal syrup is much wanted. For Honey prices
are on the rise.
FRUIT.-Of new Chesme Raisins, the first cargo arrived,
there is no disposition to purchase, the prices required being
considered too high in proportion to the value of new
Valencias, the best parcels being sold at 40s, and a great
proportion already arrived being much out of condition,
have been forced off at public sale from 38s to 39a.
Of new Patras Currants two cargoes have arrived,
and are in the market at 50s, but the grocers purchase very
cautiously, expecting large arrivals. The low prices at
which the new Turkey Pulled Figs have been forced off, in
consequence of the great proportion of the resent arrivals
being of a very inferior quality, has caused a very extensive
demand. For new Sultanas there is very little demand at the
present high prices, nearly the whole of the stock on hand
being in one importer's hand; further arrivale are daily ex-
pected. In old Fruit little doing.
FOREIGN. -This afternoon there was no public sale of
Foreign, and the private sales for the week are 40 chests of
very tine yellow Havannah at 31s, and 70 chests of middling
white Bahia at 27s per cwt.
COFFEE.-This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was purchased
with increased freedom, and 1,646 bags at public sale were all
sold at an advance on former rates of 6d to is per ewt, and
went as follows :-Middling pale 75s 6d, fine fine ordinary
60s, • fine ordinary 558 6d to 575, good ordinary 53s to 575,
fine fine ordinary grey Demerara sort 67s 6d, fine ordinary
57s to 61s Gd, pea berry 65s to 68s 6d, superior
765, sea damaged, of the various sorts 37s to 625,
country damaged 46s Gd to 60s 6d, triage 42s to 445, low 18s,
and broken 36e to 36s Gd. Of Padang 161 bags sold at 23s
to 23s 6d for good ordinary brown, which is the full value.
For Singapore Java the demand was limited, and 578 bags at
auction were taken in at 37s for good ordinary pale rather
mixed with blacks, being above the alue. Of Casta Rica
the large quantity of 5,048 bags were offered at public sale ;
the sound was nearly all taken in at stiff rates; and Oil
damaged 31s to 41s 6d per cwt.
CocoA.-Importers of British Plantation submitting to
rather lower rates caused the trade to operate more freely,
and at public sale 474 bags of Trinidad were all sold; middling
bright red at 43s to 445, middling grey 39s to 40s, low 38s 6d
to 395, and sea-damaged 38s. In Foreign there has not been
much doing.
TEA.-There has been more activity in the market this
week. Holders have shown firmness, and refrained from
offering any at public sale. Prices are firmer for black,
but any improvement in the value of green is
prevented by the heavy stock. The deliveries of
Tea keep very satisfactory, and for this year up to last Sa-
turdey amounted to 20,569,455 for home consumption at this
port, 4,494,162 at Liverpool, 707,330 at Bristol, and 349,046
at Hull, making the total quantity 26,119,992 lbs, against
25,342,829 lbs to the same period in 1844.
RICE.-To-day Bengal Rice was wanted, but further ad-
vanced rates being asked checked business, and 1,400 bags at
public sale were nearly all taken in.
SPIRITS.-There has been less demand for Jamaica Rum
this week, but holders are firm, and have obtained fully pre-
vious rates for every description, and the quantity on show has
become small. Leeward Island is, however, much in demand,
aid owing to the short supply fetched stiff rates, in all 400 puns
In Demerara a fair amount of business has been transacted
at 2s 10d to 3s 3d for strong qualities. Calcutta is wanted at
is 11d to 2s proof with certificate, but the market is still
scantily supplied. The market has a firm appearance for
Brandy, and a fair demand exists, the accounts come to hand
from France, state that the quantity made this year would
be much under that of former seasons, and the quality very
indifferent. Geneva has been sold to a fair extent for ex-
portation at 2s 2d to 2s 3d, fine for home consumption being
2s 7d to 2s 10d. The market is very firm for British Corn
Spirits at 10s 6d per gallon, nett cash. Gin at 8s 10d for 22,
and at 9s 4d for 17 per cent under proof.
TALLOW.-This afternon at public sale 226 cks of South
American Tallow sold at tOs to 41s, 438 pkgs of New South
Wales fine bard 41s 9d to 42s 9d, good 40s to 41s,
low and middling soft 77s to 78s 9d, 35 pkgs
Cape 41s 6d to 435, 84 csks Ibrail 40s 3d to 425, low 37s to
395, 55 csks St. Petersburgh soap Tallow 38s 9d to 39. 6d,
27 tons loose wrecked pieces yellow candle 358 3d to 35s 64
per cwt.
SPICES.-To-day Nutmegs met with attention, and 10
casks at auction were sold at 5s 6d for common limed, at the
high rate of duty.
CINNAMON.-The good and fine descriptions of Ceylon
were in excellent demand at the quarterly sales, and the
quantity brought forward being small merchants were en-
abled generally to obtain an advance on the rates of the last
auctions of id to 3d per lb, inferior kinds, of which the supply
was abundant, were, however, purchased with much caution,
although there were sellers at reduced rates.
:::Ismoo-The purchases made in East India have been ex-
tremely limited since the termination of the last Quarterly
Sales ; good and fine sorts of Bengal are held for the rates
of that period, but the lower kinds may be had upon easier
terms.
Oms.-This afternoon at public sale 25 tons Palm Oil, low
arid middling went at 281 to 311; 75 pipes 30 hhds Cochin,
good and fine, 33/ to 331 15s. Sperm went at full rates.
Southern met with little attention, and 160 tons at auction

IN RE ALFRED CARLILI.
It will be remembert;! that this defendant was convicted at the
sessions of September last of j.74POing for sale divers indecent
prints and engravings. The Recorder, !iefore whom the case was
therefore respited
tried, wished that inquiries should be made, am.:
the sentence until the present session. During the interval the
defendant has remained in custody in Newgate.
Several persons came forward and gave the prisoner an excellent
character for decency and morality of conduct.
The RECORDER sentenced him to be imprisoned in the House of
Correction for the city of Westminster for six calendar Months, to
be dated from the 16th of September last.
THE QUEEN V. ANNE CRAFT.—COMMUTATION OF SE2.TENCE.
This prisoner, who was convicted on Tuesday last, in the Old
Court, on a chare of stealing several articles of wearing apparel,
the property of the Rev. Mr. Reeve, was this day brought up in
this Court.
The RECORDER informed her, that, instead of allolving lice to
fulfil the entire period of her imprisonment (fourteen day.,, ihe
Court had come to the determination of commuting the sentence td
seven days' imprisonment, to be dated from Monday last.
The prisoner, who appeared very ill, was then removed from
the bar.
It was rumoured in Court that the trial and sentence had had
such an effect upon the poor creature that it was not deemed
prudent to allow her to fulfil the entire period of her punishment.
John Thomas Beak, aged 28, was convicted on a charge of
embezzling and stealing $l. 2s. and other sums, the property of
Messrs. Hewes and Co., and sentenced to be transported for seven
years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr. Michael Scales, the extensive carcass butcher at White-
chapel, whose contest for the aldermanic gown has been so re-
peatedly under the notice of the public, was brought before Mr.
Broughton, charged with committing the following assault upon
the Rev. William Symes, and also with wilfully breaking several
panes of glass in that gentleman's window.
The complainant stated that about five o'clock on the preceding
evening he heard a great uproar at the back of his residence, at
Old Ford, near Bow, which he found proceeded from the de-
fendaut. who was endeavouring to force his way into the stable.
Finding his efforts at obtaining an entrance in that direction in-
effectual, the rear of the house being bolted, the defendant then
made his way round to the front of it, and, scaling some iron
palisades, ran across the court-yard to the street deor, against
which he thrust himself, but being foiled there also, 'tie next pro.
ceeded to the parlour windows, inside which witness was standing,
and which reached nearly to the ground, and imperiously de-
manded admittance. Witness refused compliance with his request,
on which the defendant expressed his intention to force an en-
,
1 trance, and without further parley raised his foot, and plunging
it through the lower half of the window, dashed in, the centre of
the sash of it, and smashed out five or six large se pares of glass.
Witness instantly lifted up the window, to i irevent further
damage, and, stepping out into the court-y aid, demanded
hat right he had to alalto sick i riot awldia turbance at his
