on the charge). Savage was apprehended at Black-
thorn, by Goble, one of the Bicester constabulary.
Colliss was apprehended by:lnspector Melton at
Aston. On Sunday the prisoners were examined at
Meton College, before Dr. Marsham' and remanded
till yesterday (Monday) morning. A warrant was
also issued for the apprehension of a third party.
Yesterday the nten were again remanded till Saturday

as to Mr. Broomhead's fate; that evidence it would
not be prudent to give in the present state of the
proceedings.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of October 18.)
SUGAII.—There has been an increased demand for
British Plantation Sugar; yellow descriptions have been
in brisk request at an advance on former rates of 6d per
cwt., indeed the supply of such at market has not been
ample for the wants of the trade; brown and grey quali-
ties have been in good request at previous rates.
To day yellow descriptions of West India Muscovado
Sugar were much sought after, and the market was
nearly cleared at very full rates ; indeed, some difficulty
was experienced in purchasing, owing to the smallness
of the quantity on show ; strong gray met with a fair
sale at the former currency ; but brown moved off
slowly, holders however refused to submit to lower
rates ; the total purchases, including the public sale,
amounts to .600 hhds and trs.

This afternoon 109 hhds of Barbadoes Sugar were
submitted to public competition, and sold with much
spirit, at prices fully equal to 'those of Friday : fine
yellow fetched 68s 6d, good 65s 6d to 675, middling 63s
6d to 655, 10w162s to 63s per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in excellent
request by the home trade, and prices are still looking
up ; sales made at 76s to 76s 6d for standard, and. at 73s
to 74s for brown grocery lumps ; the market closed
firmly. Treacle sells freely, common at 23s 9d to 24s 3d,
and other sorts at 25s 6d to 31s per cwt. Pieces have
been in good request. Of Bonded Crushed Sugar
several parcels were disposed of at former rates, and the
market is firm.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the trade were ready
purchasers of yellow kinds, and other sorts were in good
request ; at ',auction 6,206 bags 184 casks were all sold
at full rates for the former, but at a decline of 6d per
cwt for brown; fine yellow fetched 675, good mid to good
61s 6d to 645, imid 57s 6d to 59s 6d, low 54s to 575, fine
brown 52s 6d to 535, good 50s to 525, mid 48s to 495,
low 42s 6d to 465, common to fine grey 55s to 63s per cwt.

brown at 15s to 16s 6d, and good to fine yellow 16s 6d to

to 635, mid to good yellow 60s to 645, and ord 58s to 59s
per cwt.
FOREIGN.—There has been more life in the market
for Foreign descriptions, and holders have displayed
firmness. To-day the market for Foreign was quiet ;
and 550 chests Bahia at auction went 6d per cwt under
former rates, but all sold at and after'the sale ; viz. mid-
dling to good middling white at 21s 6d to 23s 6d, ordi-
nary 19s to 21s, damaged, 18s to 19s 6d per cwt.
MOLASSES.--For West India rather lower prices have
been accepted ; St. Vincents mid 265, St. Kitts fair 265,
Montserrat 275, Antigua fine 30s per cwt. Foreign Mo-
lasses, at 7s to 7s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—For West India there has been rather more
demand, holders have been less desirous to sell, and
having supplied the market sparingly previous rates have
been sustained. Mocha is little asked for ; by private
contract 70s to 75s have been accepted for mid, and 76s
to 90s for good mid to very good yellow ; other sorts of
East India Coffee are not pressed for sale.

This afternoon there was an increased demand for
Coffee for home consamntion, and prices are looking up:
at auction 1,189 bags Padang, and 300 bags Ceylon were
offered ; the former sold at stiffer rates, good ordinary
at 30s 6d to 325, and ordinary 29s ; the latter went

trade and shippers; the large quantity of 1,200 puns have
been disposed of at full rates, viz., 30 to 33 per cent
overproof good quality at 3s to 3s 3d, 34 to 36
over fine 3s 4d to 3s 6d, finer 3s 9d to
4s 6d, and very superior 4s 9d to 5s 3d per gallon. Lee-

been paid for proof : East India has met with more atten-
tion; sales of proof Calcutta made at is 32d, subject to the
high, and Is 4d to Is 8d at the low duty. The stock of Rum
of all sorts has greatly diminished during the last two
weeks. Brandy sells freely, and holders are firm ;
Cognac of the first brands of the vintage of 1839 has
been selling, hhds at 4s 4cl, puns 4s 2d ; 1840, hhds
4s Id, puns 3s lld ; 1841, hhds 3s I Id, puns 3s 9d per

marks 4s to 4s 4d, and proof Leewards is 9d per gallon ;
prices have evidently made a stand. Jamaica is cheaper
than for some years.
TEA.-Since Tuesday last the market has been in a
dull state for all descriptions of Tea, and prices have
further given way, the trade having purchased with re-
luctance, the quantity pressed for sale large, and much
greater than sufficient for the wants of the dealers. The
public sales, which commenced on Thursday, finished
this day, and throughout have been only thinly attended
by either town or country dealers.
Prices at the sales have ruled as follows :-Congou,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MAIN' SIOIV-HO USE.
A man of very respectable appearance, named Lewis
Lazarus, who keeps a clothes' shop at No. 167,
Houndsditch, was charged before the Lord Mayor
with having robbed a boy named Alfred Billing, of
two yards and a half of cloth, value 2/.125. 6d.
The sister of the boy stated that she was present
when her father gave to the boy the cloth, and she
heard the boy complain that Mr. Lazarus had taken
the property from him under the remarkable circum-
stances detailed by her brother.
Alfred Billing stated that on Friday, the 30th of
September, as he was going along Houndsditch with
the piece of cloth which his father had given to him.
Mr. Lazarus, who was touting at his door, asked him
what he had got under his arm. He replied, that he,
had a piece of cloth, and proceeded on his way to the
ship Alexander Robertson, to which he belonged, and
which was bound for the West Indies. Mr. Lazarus,
without any more ceremony, snatched the cloth from
him, and ran up stairs, and witness followed him and
demanded it. Mr. Lazarus then told his shopman to
bring up a pair of trowsers awl a pretty waistcoat,
but witness said he would not have anything of the
kind, and that what he wanted was his piece of cloth.
Air. Lazarus then said, " Oh, you have stolen this
cloth, and I shall charge you with the police." Wit-
ness was alarmed at such an intimation, and again
asked for his property, but Mr. Lazarus refused to
give it up, and said, "If you do not be off imme-
diately, I shall give you in charge to the police, for
you have stolen the cloth." Witness then took the
trowsers and waistcoat, and went away and told his
father what had occurred.
Lazarus declared upon his honour that he never
knew anything of what had just been stated. He had
never seen the boy or the piece of cloth described,
neither had he ever heard one word uttered about the
transaction.
The LORD MAYon—What ! do you deny that you
ever had any transaction of the kind with this boy ?
Lazarus—Never in my life. I know nothing in the
world of it. Never did anything of the kind occur,
upon my oath.
The Loan MAYOR then proceeded to question the
boy in the most particular manner, but the statement
made in the first instance by the boy varied not in the
slightest degree from the answers to his Lordship's
close and pointed interrogations.
Lazarus—l wish to know whether the boy means
to say I was the person that had the dealing with
him ? Alfred Billing—Certainly you are. You
know it perfectly well. You snatched the cloth from
under my arm, and you threatened to charge me with
a robbery if I didn't go.
Lazarus—l do assure you, my Lord, that I know
nothing at all about the business. I have been a re-
spectable tradesman for 20 years in the neighbour-
hood, and it's dreadful to have a thing of this kind
seid against a person by a boy that nobody knows
naything about.
The LORD MAYOR—Oh, Mr. Lazarus, I have ex-
amined this boy, and I have no reason whatever to
doubt his statement. A Jury shall decide between you.
Lazarus—My dear Sir, I hope you don't mean
that. I trust you will let this fall to the ground.
The LORD MAYOR—lndeed, I will not, Mr. Laza-
rus. I think it a very gross case of felony.
Mr. Billing (the tether of the boy who brought
the charge) here came into the Justice-room, and
upon being called upon said that he gave the cloth
alluded to, which he had purchased at Addington's,
in St. Martin's-lane, for 21. 12s. 6d., to his son to
get made into clothes, and the boy, after the cloth
was taken from him, returned and mentioned exactly
what had occurred between him and Mr. Lazarus.
Lazarus—Oh dear, no ; it's quite a mistake. I
know nothing about it—nothing at all. Really, my
Lord, this is very hard. If a man of character is to
be pulled up by every person that chooses to come
forward in this way, we are all liable to be ruined.
Now really, Mr. nobler, this is dreadful.
Alfred Billing said it was quite impossible that he
could have mistaken any other person for Mr. Laza-
TILS. Mr. Lazarus knew that himself well.
Lazarus—Not at all. I don't know you.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Lazarus, you must
find bail to answer this elsewhere.
Lazarus—l can bring forward my shopman, my
Lora, to contradict this boy.
The LORD MAYOR—No doubt you can bring for-
ward the person who brought up the trowsers and the
pretty waistcoat to supply the place of the cloth.
Alfred Billing—The trowsers and waistcoat he gave
me were old, and of no value at all.
The LORD MAYOR—Oh, then you took the trousers
and waistcoat ? Alfred Billing—Yes, my Lord ; I
thought it best to take them. (The prisoner then
made some strong efforts to get out of the difficulty,
by showing a readiness to compromise the matter ; but)
The LORD MAYOR declared that the case was too
glaring, and directed that the parties should be bound
over to prosecute. His Lordship's decision gave very-
great satisfaction.
A man, named John Green, was charged with hav-
ing received a silver watch from two boys, knowing
that it had been stolen.
It was distinctly proved that the boys had stolen
the watch and sold it to the prisoner, who had been
previously convicted as a fence, for seven shillings and
sixpence. The prisoner told the unfortunrte children,
whom he had evidently encourged to co'nmit the rob-
bery, that the watch was only worth fourpence an
ounce, and if he had even paid them the whole of the
money he had promised he would have escaped prose-
cution, but he was detected while screwing them
about the last shilling.
The prisoner said he knew nothing at all of the
prisoners, and that he was merely giving them a little
charity—a shilling in charity—when he was apple •
hended.—Committed for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.
FURIOUS DRIVING AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—Yes-
terday James Walsh, a cab-driver, who has been se-
veral times fined for acts of misconduct, was brought
on a warrant before Mr. Greenwood, charged with
furious driving and with assaulting the police.
_ The prisoner himself had been several days in Bar-
tholomew's Hospital in consequence of a severe
wound he had received upon the head from a police-
man's truncheon, and the matter had been the cause
of very considerable excitement.
Mr. Hunt, a solicitor, now appeared to defend the
prisoner, the fraternity of cab-drivers having sub-
scribed for that purpose.
Several witnesses were examined, who stated the
following facts:—
On Monday morning last a cabriolet, with three
drunken cabmen on the box, the prisoner driving,
came rapidly along Worship-street, and as it passed
struck against the police-ran, which had brought
prisoners to the Court. Some of the officers ran ate:
the cab, but the men on the box merely looked back
at them, and went off with increased speed to the end
of the street, and there ran against a horse and cart
turning out of the Curtain-road. The force of the
collision was so great that the shafts of the cab were
broken, and the horse killed by one of the shafts of
the cart penetrating its breast. The other horse and
the cart were also damaged. The cabmen were
thrown, and one of them got away, but several police
constables seized the other two. The prisoner now
before the Magistrate, however, made a violent re-
sistance, and thrust his knuckles under the stock of
one of the constables, who then struck him on the
forehead with his staff, and wounded him, so that it
was fund necessary to convey him to the hospital.
The other prisoner was brought before Mr. Green-
wood when taken, but as it appeared that he was not
the driver, and merely on the box, the Magistrate
discharged him.
Policeman Porter, 101 G, who had wounded the
prisoner, was now subjected to a very long and rigid
cross-examination by the solicitor, but he swore that
before he used his truncheon the prisoner had seized
him by the stock, and was working his knuckles into
his throat and held so as nearly to strangle him. He
then drew-his staff and struck over his arm at the pri-
soner, but was prevented from seizing the latter at the
moment by the pain and the twisting of his neck.
Fitzgerald, one of the police-constables of this
Court, who had laid hold of the prisoner at the same
time with Porter, corroborated the statement of the
latter, and said he had himself received a hard hit on
the wrist with the staff, but that was of course acci-
dental, and the prisoner had hold of Porter by the
throat at the time.
Mr. Davis, of Worship-square, surgeon, who had
witnessed part of the occurrence, stated that the po-
liceman came to him, and he found the parts of the
neck inflamed and swollen, as from strangulation.
Mr. Hunt wished him to look at.the prisoner's right
hand, upon which he had received some severe blows
of the staff, besides being wounded in the head. There
was no mark or abrasion Of the skin, however, and it
was stated that the blow on the hand had not been
given by the policeman Porter, but previously, by
Sergeant, 5 G, who was obliged to strike the prisoner
on the hand with his staff to make him let go the reins,
which lie obstinately held tight, although increasing
the dander after the collision.
Mr. 6rREENWOOD said that such injuries as the pri-
soner had suffered, he had brought upon himself by
his drunken misconduct and violence. The police-
man was himself in danger of strangulation when he
struck with his staff, which he was justified in so doing
in self-defence. The Magistrate said he himself
should have done the same in such circumstances. The
dangerous and furious driving of the cabmen, he ob-
served, was becoming worse, and the public must be
protected against it. He had committed one cabman
from Clerkenwell to the House of Correction for two
months on Saturday, instead of subjecting him to a
pecuniary fine, and he would have imposed the same
punishment in this case, but for the suffering which
the prisoner had already felt. He sentenced him to

GENERAL ORDERS.

HORSE-GUARDS, OCT. B.—The corps of Yeomanry
which, during the late disturbances in the northern
districts, were employed under the orders of the
Commander-in-Chief, in co-operation with the regular
forces, and in aid of the civil authorities, having been
relieved from permanent duty, Field-Marshal the
Duke of Wellington has discharged a duty the most
gratifying to himself, by reporting to the Queen,
through her Majesty's Secretary of State for the'
Home Department, his Grace's sense of the prompti-
tude and alacrity with which these corps assembled
for the preservation of the public peace, regardless of
the inconvenience to which a separation from their
private avocations and pursuits, at that season of the
year, must have exposed them.
The Duke of Wellington did not fail to report to
the Secretary of State, for the information of the
Queen, at the time, his Grace's deep sense of the gal-
lantry, discipline, activity, and forbearance evinced
by the Yeomanry in the performance of the delicate
and importaut duties with which it became necessary
to entrust them, for the support of the Magistracy in
the restoration and maintenance of the public peace,
the protection of private property, and the preserva-
tion to every individual of the community of the right
to work as he might himself be inclined, according to
the terms of his agreement with his employer.
The Commander-in-Chief has great satisfaction in
publishing the expression conveyed to him by the Se-
cretary of State, of her Majesty's most gracious ap-
probation of the services performed, as well by the
Yeomanry as by her Majesty's troops.
" Whitehall, Sept. 23, 1842.
" Mr LORD DUKE—I hare the honour to inform
your Grace that I have received the Queen's com-
mands to express her Majesty's high approval of the
good conduce, exemplary forbearance, and steadiness
of the military force employed in support of the civil
authorities during the disturbances which have un-
happily prevailed in many of the northern and mid-
land counties.

" I am further commanded to request your Grace
to communicate to Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Arbuth-
not, Commanding-in-Chief in those counties ; to
Major-Gen. Sir Wm. Warre, Maj or- G en. Brotherton,
and Col. Thorn ; to the officers, non-commissioned
officers, and privates, the expression of her Majesty's
approval.—l have, &c.

" My LoRD DUKE,--I have had the honour of
laying before the Queen your Grace's letter of the
23d inst., and I have received her Majesty's com-
mands to communicate to your Grace her Majesty's
approval of the readiness with which the several corps
of Yeomanry Cavalry, acting under the General Offi-
cers of the districts where the public peace has been
disturbed, have assembled for the service of their coun-
try, at a period of the year which must have been
productive of great inconvenience to them.
" I am further commanded to express to your
Grace her Majesty's high approval of the gallantry,
discipline, and forbearance with which these several
corps of Yeomanry cavalry have performed the duty
which was entrusted to them, of supporting the civil
authorities, and of enabling them, by their active and
successful assistance, to restore and to maintain the
public peace, to protect property, and to preserve to
all the right of pursuing their lawful occupations
without molestation.

" I am, therefore, to communicate to your Grace
her Majesty's commands, that your Grace, at whose
disposal the Yeomanry cavalry on active service was
placed during the late disturbances, will communi-
cate to them her Majesty's approval of their conduct,
and her confident reliance on their zeal, loyalty, and
devotion whenever it may be necessary to call upon
them for their assistance.—l have, &c.
(Signed) " J. R. GRAHAM.
" His Grace the Commander-in-Chief."
The Field-Marshal desires that a copy of this order
may be sent by the Adjutant-General to the com-
manding officer of each of the corps of Yeomanry
lately called out and employed under his Grace's eon'.
mand ; to the commanding officers of the several corps
of Cavalry, Artillery, and Infantry, employed in the
northern district on the service to which it relates,
as well as to the Lieutenant-General commanding
the northern district.—By command of his Grace the
Commander-in-Chief,
JOHN MACD ONALD, Adjutant-General.

TATTERS.ALL'S-YESTERDAY.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.
In the early part of the afternoon Ralph was backed
at 7 to 1, and had by a point the call of the Busk mare,
Florence, and the Knight of the Whistle, their prices
being Bto 1 each, taken. His decline was early and
rapid, and the Busk mare took the lead at the same
figure ; her reign was of equally short duration, as the
Knight of the Whistle's friends came out in force, took
7 to 1 freely, 13 to 2, and in some few instances 6 to 1,
and establislled him first favourite by at least three
points. The layers.against Florence and Ralph were all
powerful at last, nor would the Busk party close with
any offer under 10 to 1. Cabrera was in some demand,
and improved a couple of points on the odds (15 to 1)
first taken. Nothing of consequence was done about the
other favourites. Master Thomas was struck out. Clos-
