A respectable-looking lad named M' Grath was charged,
with having picked the pocket of Count Petoyski, a Rue-
sian
nobleman, of a valuable gold snuff-box, on the Bth of
June last, near Mivart's hotel, in Upper Brook-street.
It appeared, from the evidence of a footman in the
service of Lord William Bentinck, and a French groom
in the service of Prince De Borghese, that, in the middle
of the day above-mentioned, the Count, who is at present
on the Continent, was proceeding along Brook-street,
when the French groom noticed the prisoner walking by
the -,:de of the Count, but, from his genteel appearance, the
groom concluded that the prisoner was the Count's son,
and therefore did not particularly notice his movements
until he saw him put his band into the Count's pocket and
draw it out again, but he did not see any thing in his hand,
neither did he put it into his pocket, but immediately ran
down Davies-street, Berkeley-square. The groom spoke
to the Count, and asked him if he had lost any thing, and
the Count, after feeling his pockets, exclaimed that he had
lost his gold snuff-box. A reward of forty guineas was
offered for the recovery of the snuff-box. The Count ap-
peared to have been remarkably unfortunate, for, on the
Bth of June, he had his pocket picked of another gold
snuff-box, of rich workmanship, with fine pictures by
Teniers, on mother-o'-pearl of different colours, and seve
ral diamonds, forming a bouquet to open the box. Ne'
ther of the boxes have since been recovered.
As the Count was at present on the Continent, the pr
loner was remanded.

LONDON MARKETS.

From the London New Price Current of Tuesday. )

SUGAR.—The Market last week continued un-
commonly brisk ; each day buyers coming freely for- ,
ward to purchase as the small supplies were brought
out for sale, and each day the holders obtaining an
advancing currency, the latter evincing much firm-
ness and the arrivals unprecedentedly few. We es-
timate the sales last week above s,ooohhds. at prices
ls. a is. 6d. higher. The deliveries last week were
above 3,700 casks, much the same as the correspond-
ing one of last year, the comparative stock is, how-
-1 ever, greatly changed; the difference of stock is only
74 casks, the landing last week being above 5,200
casks against about 400 in 1826. The change of
stock damped the Sugar Market, the buyers evinced
dispusltlOn to purchase—there was, however, still
a poor supply of Sugars on sale : at the close of the
day the purchase of Muscovades were estimated at
1,500 hhds. ; the market again brisk and at higher
prices. The 'Refined Market last week advanced
ls„ a 25.; the purchases for export being Ossisted by
large parcels taken by the grocers for export (in pro-
portion to their purchases of East India Sugar for
home consumption), and in addition to the quantity
taken for the home consumption of the country.—
Molasses were Is. higher. The Refined Market
this afternoon continues firm, the holders ask high
prices but few sales are reported; low Lumps 83s.
Molasses 265. 6d.

FOREIGN SUGAR.—The sales last week are 375.
a 38s. for good yellow Havannah, good white 48s.—
all for export. The following sales were to the re-
finers :—Brown Brazil 30s. a 315., yellow 335. white
Brazil for export 375. a 445.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—We'announced on this day
week that Grocers could clear Sugars on the same
terms as the Refiners, the consequence was an im-
mediate advance of 3s. a 4s. on East India descrip-

tions. By public sale this forenoon Manilla 2,955
bags. East India 1,512. The Manilla was strong
grey, and sold uncommonly high, 395. a 395. 6d. a
little inferior 375. a 38s. The Bengals, particularly
the white, sold Is. a 2s. lower.
DUTY ON FOREIGN AND EAST INDIA SUGAR.—
What we stated last week as the substance of the
conversation between the Ministers and the West

India Body, has been confirmed to us from another
high quarter. We can now state it is the intention
of his Majesty's Ministers to propose, on the meet-
ing of Parliament, to admit all Sugars on a duty.
On Foreign Sugars, it will be ss. above West India,
and the East India will be 4s. higher; Foreign 325.;
East India 31s.—And as the Government now pro-
tect the Shipping Interest with the greatest earnest-
ness, no Sugars will probably be admitted for
home consumption unless they have been imported

in a British
AVERAGE PRICES OF SUGAR.—The average prices
of Sugar which regulate the duty on Foreign is 375.
per cwt. this week, which makes the duty 295.
and ls. additional duty for all Foreign Sugars sold
above 375.

COFFEE.—The public sales last week went off
with increased spirit, and generally the prices were
Is. higher. A large parcel of Cuba (about 1,200
bags) sold at very high prices, particularly the good
and fine ordinary; the fine fine ordinary reached 555.;
the ordinary sold at 425.; very ordinary St. Do-
mingo 425. a 425. 6d. ; and for quality nearly the
same 435. a 435. 6d.; 600 bags good Manilla sold
last week at 445. a 455. The middling qualities of
Jamaica went off 2s. a 4s. higher, and with brisk-
ness ; good middling 82s. a 845., fine 905.; and ge-
nerally there was much improvement in the appear-
ance of the Market. This forenoon 161 casks, 371
bags in four small Public Sales, and chiefly so mixed
in quality as scarcely to be taken as a criterion of
the Market; Brazil ordinary 435. up to 535. for fine
ordinary; good middling Jamaica 8315.—The Market
looks much more firm.
COTTON.—The only sales worth mentioning are,
350 bags Bowed sjd. a 6d. and 300 Manilla
6d. a bid.
TouAcco.--There are no purchases of Tobacco
worth mentioning.

St. Petersburgh are to the 23d ult. The Exchanges
were rather lower, 10d. 5-l6ths. Tallow 101 rubles,
The market has been very heavy arid rather lower
prices have been submitted to; the fine on the spot
is still scarce. Hemp and Flax continue nominal.
