BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 20.—Our market
' opened rather heavily after the holidays, as the accounts from
London stated a further depression in prices; but towards the
close there was an improvement in the disposition to purchase,
to some extent, from a feeling that sugars might not decline
further at present. The arrivals during the week am—Peru,
4,000 mats, 'Mauritius; St. George, 2,300 bags, Bengals ; Po-
mona, 370 hhds. ; Anna, 580 hhds., 118 tierces. —Bristol
Mercury.
EXTENSIVE THEFT OF BOOK'S, &c.—A few days
ago, two gentlemen--one from Glasgow, and another from
Paisley—appeared at the Police-office here, and stated that a
variety of books,
shawls, &c., had disappeared from their re-
spective premises, and that they suspected a certain M.D. of
their acquaintance, then residing in Edinburgh, of having
stolen them. The police accordingly repaired to the lodgings
of the suspected party, and there found a number of the miss-
ing articles, besides others which have since been claimed as
the property of persons in this city. Having learned also that
the mother of the learned delinquent resided in Aberdeen, a
letter was immediately forwarded to the Superintendent of Po.
lice in that quarter, requesting him to order her house to be
searched. The result was the arrival on Tuesday night of two
large boxes of books supposed to have been stolen from houses
and shops both in Edinburgh and Glasgow, The individual is
in custody.—Edinburgh Paper.
The child of an inhabitant of Motteville, near Rouen,
a few days since swallowed a few pinches of arsenic by
mistake, thinking it to be flour. It was soon seized with
dreadful convulsions, and little hope was entertained of
saving its life, when aphys4cian administered hydrated
peroxide of iron, and immediately overcame the effects
of the poison.
