Aerday Charles kelson: was indicted for having

~ and it appea-red by the evidence of Mary
Ingham (the second wife) that she had been a
reeper at Bit and was possessed of

appeared by the evidence of the prosecutor's
'entice, who slept in the shop of his master, -a
ir and gilder, that on the night the burglary
tommitted, he was awoke by the prisoners Con-
and Smedley, who came up to his bedside when
;as asleep, and demanded his money ; he told
them he bad none ; they then asked him for some
gold ; he ti.ld them what there was lay about the
shop; they then demanded the burnishing stones,
which he gave them ; they then asked where his box
was ? he pointed to it ; they opened it, and taking
out a tea caddy, in which he usually kept his money,
they broke it open, but there was no money in it
then ; the witness attempted to dress himself, bat tic
prisoners told him if he did, they would murder him;
they then went away, and the witness followed them
down stairs, hut Beaver perceived him, and returned
and struck him a blow ; he then went out and shut
the door after him, by which means Smedley was
shut in, he then grappled with Smedley, and had his
finger in his mouth some time, at length he got
away, and the witness pursued, calling 44 Stop thief !"
on returning, he found two of the prisoners' hats and
two handkerchiefs. The same morning he met two
of the prisoners in Hemmings-row, he took no notice
of what had passed, but merely said " How d'ye
do ;" :41, set a friend to watch them, and obtained
assistance. by which they were taken.
Other witnesses corroborated a part of this testi-
mony, and a part of the property was found at the
lodgings of Beaver, and other parts of it were traced
to the prisoners through a pawnbroker.
The prisoners denied dirk guilt—and, after the
Recorder summed up, the Jury found a verdict of
Golly against all three of the prisoners.
Elizaleth iiihfleld was indicted for taking and car.
rying away Susannah Dawson, a child six years old,
with intent to steal her cloaths.
Ann Dickenson, nine years old, gave a clear ac-
count of the conduct of the prisoner. She stated,'
that she was playing in the Curtain-road, Shot editch,
with the child Dawson, on the 19th ult. The pri-
soner asked her to go with her to the top of the road,
and she would give her a penny, which she consented
to do. When they reached there, the prisoner took
them to Hoston, and there said to the witness, " I
will take care of the child while you go to Mr. Ash-
ton's, and ask for a shirt and shift." On her return,
she missed the prisoner and Dawson; and two men,
who found htr crying, took her home.
R. Upton, a pawnbroker, in Shoreditch, produced.
the frock which lie took in pledge, but not from the
prisoner.
Mary Barker saw the prisoner with the child com-
ing out of the court, without a frock ; she was cry-
ing, and the prisoner said to her, 44 Hush, my dear ;
don't cry—be quiet, and I'll give you some plums."
The witness asked her it the child was her's ? She
replied, " No, it was her sister's." She bought her
some plums.
Kitty Moody went.with the child aftet her return
to the prisoner's lodgings.
J. Armstrong, Police Officer, stated, that the child
(Dickenson), on being spawn into a room where six
women were at the 011 ice, pointed out the prisoner
as the person who had taken Dawson away.
The prisoner, in her defence, admitted taking the
children a walk ; but denied that she had stolen the
frocks.--Guilty.

MID DL ESE X S ESS lON s --Yesterday Andrew Booth was indicted
for obtaining goods under false pretences from Mr. John Grant,
on the .Ith of September last. It appeared in evidence, that the
prisoner had been in the employment of Messrs. Courtney and
Co. Army Clothiers, of the Old Jury, who were accustomed to
deal with the prosecutor, who is a respectable silk twist manu-
facturer In St. Martin's-le-Grand, for articles in his trade. On
the Jay mentioned in the indictment, after the prisoner had been
discharged Irons his master'. service, be went to the prosecutor's
house, and obtained the goods in question, under pretence of
his having been directed so to do by his employers. It turned
out, however, to be a fraud; and the prisoner, on being appre-
hended, conf.osed the fact. The Jury found hint Guilty, and the
Court sentenced hint to seven years transportation.
Elizabeth Wetherell was indicted for stealing a pair of stock-
ings, the i.roperty of Elisabeth Pike. It appeared that the
prtsotier lived servant in the family of the prosecutrix, who had
WA various articles. Suepiciun at length fell on the pr;soner,
and an order was given to her to open her box, which she did,
and the stockings and a handkerchief belonging to Mrs. Pike,
were found there. The prisoner, in her defence, said, the
stockings were put there by stone person out ul spite to her,
without her having ary knowledge of it. There was another
servant in the house, who was suspected of having stolen various
articles, and had been discharged before this time. The Jury,
under these c• rcutostaucio, acquitted the prisoner.
T. Parr was couvic•ed of so :alit% a blanket, the. property of
'l'. HattoJ, a weaver, to whom lie was an apprentice. The
Court sentenced him to be imprisoned one month in the House
of Correction, and to be once privately wlepped during the time
DI his he prisatiment.
800 slae FT.—Monday evening a most daring robbery was
committed at the early hour of half-past seven o'clock, at the
shop of Mr. Foulkes, a linen-draper, in Little Russell-street,
Covent-garden, by violently and feacibly breaking the shop win-
dow ; the robber was caught, an 4 yesterday, after Lis being

LONDON MARKETS, &c. OCTOBER S?.

COTTON.—The late depression of the prices attract-
ed the attention of buyers last week, the enquiries
greatly revived, but the limited quantity of Cotton in
this market tieing in few hands, the low prices sub-
mitted to at Liverpool and the other country markets
had no effect on the London holders, they declined
selling at the currency of the outp6rts ; the estimated
quantity disposed of little exceeded 1000 packages,
viz. 400 Pernams,at 2s 8d a 2s 9d, chiefly at 2s B',J;
a few bags prime realizing 2s lad, 3() middling Ma-
ranhams at 2s sd, 4Q ordinary Bahias 21 sd, 239
Boweds at 2C3d a 214110 at 19%J, 190 Orleans, or-
dinary to good from 21d a 23d, 120 Bengals at 14d
a 13 tl, '2O Surinams at 2s 7d. The only %'vest India
Cotton at market is a limited supply of Surinams ;
of Brazil descriptions, the stock is nearly confined to
Pernambuco Cotton of which the quantity is trivial.
The only Cotton sold since the accounts of last
week's Liverpool and Manchester markets, were re-
ceived (statieg a further depression) arc a few Per-
nens at 2s 80.
LIVERPOOL, Ocr. 28.—1 n the early part of the
week the demand for Cotton was limited, and the de-
sire with some to sell so great, that Boweds approach-
ing in quality to good fair were sold at 19d per lb. ;
on Tuesday, and particularly Wednesday, the market
took quite a different turn, the holders being less in-
clined to sell, except at an advance in Boweds to
average Id per lb., which the dealers readily paid.
Orleans have been in considerable demand, and fair
and good fair qualities have improved (hiring the week
about Id per lb. whilst the ordinary descriptions do
not meet i sale even at 200 per lb. In Maranhams
the sales have been considerable, but at reduced prices.
Yesterday there was very little doing, and Uplands
might have been bought fully id per lb. below Wed-
nesday morning's currency."
SVGA its.—The business done in Muscovadoes du.
ring the last week was extremely limited, several of the
holders refusing to make any sales at the present cur-
rency ; the few purchases node, however, were at a
farther depression of Is a 2s per cwt., brown free
Sugars being sold at 82s. Surinams at 80s, and seve-
ral parcels sold in a private manner are reported to be
even lower than we have mentioned ; the -general
pikes were 84s a 88s for middling Muscovadoes. ;
several of the holders state the depression Of the prices
of Sugar to be owing to the quantity of Washed Su-
gars brought forward to immediate sale, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the damage sustained by the gales
experienced by the late Jamaica fleet, and to, recover
the amount from the underwriters : the injury done
does not appear so extensive as at first apprehended.
There appeared determined sellers of Sugars to-day
at any reduction, at one house between 4 and 500 hhds.
of Muscovadoes were disposed of generally, at the
reduction of 3s a 4s from the prices of last week, free
brown Sugars selling at 81s, good coloured Barbadoes
at 85s a 86s ; some Sugars approaching to fine uft•
maica at 925; at several other houses one or two boards
were soli, middling Jamaica at 85s, good 87s, being
nearly a similar reduction, confirming the decline in
Sugars this forenoon at Ss a 4s. per cwt. ; generally
the holders would accept prices at nearly the present
reduction, yet several houses (and very extensive) will
not sell at the reduced currency.
2157 Casks of Sugar were delivered for the con-
sumption of the country last week, and 447 for
exportation.
The great depression in refined goods has attracted
the attention of the buyers for the home trade ; con-
siderable purchases have been made ; two ships laid
' on for the Baltic also tended to improve the demand,
the prices, however, may be stated 2s a 3s lower :
large purchases of crushed Sugars at 80s, Hambro'
loaves at 95s ; these vessels are uncommonly late in
the season, yet it they succeed in getting into Fort
before the closing of the Baltic, the Sugar , Coffee,
etc. can be sold greatly lower than any previous ship-
ments, from the late great fall in colonial produce,
&c. The shippers appear satisfied with the present
prices, and have been offering to contract f x lumps,
crushed Sugars, &c. deliverable in February and
March, at the present prices ; the refiners, we believe,
generally decline the offers, taking the chance of the
market, and also on account of there being no bond-
ing at present, the uncertainty when the gpods trey
be shipped, and•the bounty received. Molasses
time heavy, several purchases at 3Ss 62d.
In consequence of the depression in prices of Raw
Sugars, Refined may to-day be purchased 2s a 3s
under our quotations.
There has been nothing done in Foieign Sugars
for some time past, the prices are completely nominal ;
several parcels of Havannah Sugars appear at market
in a damaged state, occasioned by the severe hurri-
cane, which did great injury to the late homeward
bound Jamaica convoy.
Foreign Sugars offer this forernoon 3s a 5s under
our quotations; but no business whatever has been
effected.
CONFEL—The shipping season being nearly closed,
and there being little speculation at present, occa-
sioned a very limited demand last week for Coffee t,
two inconsiderable sales were brought forward,
amounting in all to 594 casks and 619 bags, a very
small proportion of which was sold. The first lots
of Wednesday's sale went 3s. a'4s. even below our
reduced quotation ; ordinary clean Jamaica selling
at 635. a 645. 6d. ; good ordinary 665. and, 675. ;
nearly the whole was afterwards taken in ; for thirty
hhds. good middling Dutch only 86s. was offered ;
the price at which the whole was taken, 90s. is,
we believe, since realized by private contract. The
quality was uncommonly fine ; fine ordinary, or or.
dinary middling, taken in at 765. The houses which
have generally the greatest quantity of Coffee did not
bring forward any for sale last week, both on account
of the limited demand, owing to the season of the
year, and also on account of the late great depression
in the prices.
The sale this forenoon consisted of 348 casks plan-
tation coffee; the first lots fine ordinary Dominica
taken in at 82.. 6d. and 83s. 6d. ; the whole of that
description was then withdrawn : good ordinary Ja-
maica, 68.. and 70s. chiefly withdrawn. From the
low prices of the late sales, and from the offers by
private contract, Coffee may be purchased 2s. a 35.
under our reduced quotations.
Coffee delivered fur exportation lasdweek 966 casks
and 3623 bags.
Fauzr.—A public sale took place last week, eon-
sisev; chiefly of old Fruit; 2600 whole, half; and
quarter-chests new French Pliuns, and 142 packs

new 'French Prunes, were, tm*ever, in the sale; thel
latter were withdrawn at 655. ; a few lots of the
Plums soli at 105 s. a 107 s. and above 1(X) quartet-
chests 120 s. a. 1215.; the remainder withdrawn; 41
quarter-barrels new Malaga Figs at 535.; 232 bevels
old red Smyrna Raisins were taken in at 50s. a 535.;
caroteels passed ; 330 quarter-chests old French Plums
taken in 355. a 375. ; half-chests 40s. a 465. ;
140
half-chests Turkey Figs 4.35. a 515.; 40 packs, soft
shell Almonds sold at 1125.; and 7 pipes Currants
100.. A cargo of the latter arrived at Bristol.
Intact PuovistoNs.-The market is nearly cle Ind
of prime Mess. Na arrivals of new Beef are expec-
ted for some time. The demand for Mess Pork has
been brisk. and a general opinion is entertained that
the present currency will be maintained through
season. There are few enquiries after Bacon. Tim
Butter market has been rather heavy, but there is ap-
parently within these few days a greater inclination
evinced by the buyers to do business.
NAVAL Srotrete-The only rough Turpentine at
market, :IWO barrels, imported from America last
week, for which 18s. has been offered and refused,
the whole at present held at '2os. Spit its town-drawn
may be quoted at 90s. ; no foreign at market. The
arrivals of Archangel and Stockholm Tar last week
and yesterday about 2500 barrels, have again damped
the market ; the pikes are a shade lower. No Ame-
rican on sale for some time past. There are about
20(X0 barrels of Pitch reported at the Custom-house,
the prices are at present little varied, but the market
is heavy. Iti other articles there is little variation.
00-s.-The last realized price ofGreenland-whale
Oil of this year's fishing 6.14, but the holders gene-
rally continue to expect higher pikes ; there has, in
consequence been little doing. Pale Seal 04 £2
lower; the Brown Et a £5 lower, on account of the
depressed price of Whale o.ls ,• in Rare nr Linseed
there is little alteration ; pale Rape 01 £37, Brown
£35, Palm a shade lower; in the other descriptions
there is little variation.
AsHEs.-The few American Ashes lately imported
have been sold ; the Pots at fifes. the Pearl Sss. As
there is none left in first hands, the whole are held
for higher prices ; as the demand for Pot Ashes is
,considerable, they continue to rate higher than the
Pearl. Russia Ashes 68s.
HEMP, FLAX, TALLOW, &c.-The demand for
Hemp continues languid ; the prices cannot be stated
any lower, but the market is very heavy. 'fallow
may be purchased a shade tinder the late prices; yel-
low Candle 655. 6J. and 06s. The imports betweep
the 6th and 26th October ate 7051. casks from Rus-
sia, and 1974 serons from South America. The
prices of Flax are little varied, the business doing in.
considerable. The exchange at Petersburg!' has
again declined: the late letters brine; it over at ti
and 10 ; the pikes of the exports, hemp, Tallow, &c.
advancing in proportion to the decline in the rates of
exchange.
Rice.-The inquiries after Carolina Rice have
lately been considerable, en account of the limited
supply at market; 1073 casks arrived last week from
Charleston.
SILK.-We give to-day the particulars of the late
sale at the India House, the prices have gene uncom-
monly low, scarcely realizing what was paid for the
Silk in China.
SPICES continue very heavy, little alteration, how.
ever, can be stated in the prices. Pimenta, in last
week's public sales, went at ICjJ. for the best quAlity.
Ginger continues to command high prices. Tee
quantity lately sold at the India House melli at a
very considerable premium.
TOBACCO.-The market remains very heavy, al-
though the accounts from the Continent arc :mile fa-
vourable thhn for any other article, )et the prices are
at present so high that the shippers are deterred fram
purchasing, fearing direct arrivals from the United
States ; cargoes of Maryland offer at 61s. a 655. ma-
nifest weight, cargoes of Virginia at 905. a V6s. for
the Continental Ports, and for this market I4J. a
15d. Kentucky in parcels Hid. a 12d. per
IxDIOO.-The sale at the Indie House consisting
of 6.581 chests, being closed, the fine qualities sold at
nearly the same prices as the last sale ; the good from
6d. a 9d. per lb. and the middling and ordinary from
9J. a Is. 3d. per lb higher.
Rum, BRANDY, and HoLLANDs.-The demand for
Rum has been exceedingly languid) the purchases
being confined to the immediate wants of the trade:
the exports of last week, 799 puncheons, we believe
are former purchases, or re.saipped by the owners,
on account of the present depressed prices; if offers'
were made, even lower prices would be accepted than
our present reduced quotations; the quantity deli.

Tuesday se'nnight, James Armour, one of the
haler: on the Forth and Clyde Canal, was drowned
in the_Canal, at Dollater Bog. The horse on which
he was riding was however saved. •
We are informed that Dr. COOPER, and three emi-
nent Surgeon:, of 30 years experience in Strictures,
Fistulas, Debilities, &c. &c. have established a Medi.
' cal Board at Charlotte-house, Great Charlotte-street,
opposite ROWLAND HILL'S Chapel, Black!' iar's-road,
where the public are relieved from the most dangt rous
diseases without salivation er confinement. The In-
stitution claims the attention of those who may have
attempted the cure of themselves, or who have been
so unfortunate as to consult men ignorant cf so im-
portant a branch of the profesiion, whose improper
treatment have mercurialized thousands out of ;heir
existence—eruptions on the head, face, and body, sore
eyes, throat, mouth, and nose, vertigo, noise in theears,
deafness, dimness of sight, often ending in blind-
, ness ; pains iii the head and limbs, frequently mis.
taken for rheumatism ;extreme weakness in the knee,,,
swelled ankles, with a general debility, &c. are only a
few oldie dreadful symptoms which frequentlyappear
' years after, and too.often embitter the matrimonial
state. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are consulted daily by
aU ranks of people, from ten till eight or by letter, in-
closing a- fee (for no others are answered), stating
their case, when medicine and the best advice is sent
to all parts of the kingdom. They also cure the
piles and fistula, without burning or cutting ; and
give advice gratis, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sun-
day mornings, till twelve o'clock.
