LONDON MARAZTS, JULY 21*

Ceetotr.-The sales of Cotton, °win to the stop-
page of the mills, and themistinderatanding between
the manufacturers and the workmen, continue very
limited. The purchases since 'fuesday last little ex-
ceed 600 packages--100 Pernambuco 2s. Id. to 2s.
lid. 30 Maranhams 23.84 Carriacou 220. to 231td.
a few Demeraras 210. to 2s: 4d.120 Boweds 20e1- to
206 d. 30 Orleans2o. a few Bourbons 21.10(1. 2110
Bevels 9d. to iqd. and a few Surats at 15d. per
pound. •
Suos.a.-At the opening of the market this mor-
ning the request for Muscovalles was so brisk and so
extensive, that the holders asked an advance of 2s.
the rise was instantly acceded to, and the demand be-
coming more extensive as the day advanced, a fur-
ther improvement was realized. The total sales were
estimated at 6000 casks, which may be stated as
nearly the whole to-day on shew • the market may be
stated cleared ; the advance at le conclusion of the
day 2s. to 3s. per Cwt. DO brown Sugars under 795.
and 80s. and for fine white Jamaica 941. realized :-
brown Sugars are more advanced than the middling
or fine qualities ; the former are Ss. higher, the latter
2s. The refined market was rather heavy last week,
and several holders were inclined to accept prices a
shade lower ; no general depression could however
be stated; the purchases were chiefly for the home-
trade ; the shippers have not yet came to market to
any extent ; there was however still a very iudifFes
rent supply of goods, and geoerally no decline flea
for the present anticipated. Molasses were lesa
request. The refiners, after the advance of Su •
commenced, perceiving the unprecedented demand;
withdrew their refined goqds from sale ; no goods
could now be purchased, unless at an advance of 2s.
to Ss. on the prices lately realized. This forenoon n
public sale of 272 chests Brazil Sugar was brought
forward, of which about half sold at prices Is. to 2s.
higher-fine white 60s. good 645. to 655. ordinary'
535. to 575. yellow 475. to 48s. brown 465. 6d.
Coerzz.--The advance of the prices of Coffee
baffles all calculation ; the rise outstrips the most
sanguine expectation of the holders. Since Tuesday
last Coffee has advanced 14s. to 16s. per cwt. Yes-
terday the antral' of the Foreign Mails with favou--
rable accounts from Hansburgh, Holland, and the in-
terior of the Continent, immediately occasioned a
brisk demand;, the prices advanced in an unprece-
dented manner, fully 10, higher than the prices of
Friday. To-day there was no business done by pri-
vate contract ; the purchasers and the holders await-
ing the public sales to establish a market currency-
the first consisted of 191 casks Plantation Coffee,
with the exception of two or three lots, all Dominila
descriptions; the whole went off freely : the prices by
private contract were not only fully maintained, but
in several instances higher prices were realized-mid-
dling Dominica, in very extensive parcels, £8.145.
6d. to £B. 16s. 6d. good middling £Bs. 17s. 6d. to
£B. 18.-good ordinary Jamaica sold so high as £B.
3s. .fine ordinary £B. ss. ordinary middling exten-
sively at £S. 6s. 6d. to £B. 7s. 6d. middling £B. 10s.
and good middling at £B. 18s. 6d.
SPICE3.-Pepper has lately become an article of
considerable request; the prices are rather improving.
Pimento is also in demand. In other descriptions of
Spice there is little doing, and no variation whatever
in the prices.
Rica.-On Wednesday a parcel of East India,
11,800 bags, was brought forward by public sale ;-
the quantity being so considerable, it was expected
the prices would suffer a considerable depression ;-
the whole went off however freely about Is. higher
than the previcus prices by private contract, and 2s.
below the prices at the late East India House sale ;
the very ordinary 245. 6d. and 255. 6d. middling 265.
6d. and 275. This forenoon there was another pub-
lic sale of 2065 bags East India Rice brought for-
ward, of which only a small parcel was disposed of;
good white at 275. the remainder taken in et 965.6 d.
the yellow at 225. Rice may be stated very dull at
the depression we have mentioned.
Inrsti PROVISIONS.-The prices of Beef and Pork
are without variation. Bacon is steady. The con-
tinued dry weather, and the parched appearance of
' the grass, has occasioned great speculations in Butter.,
It is believe 1 that die make this season will be mate- I
rially lessened.
'NAVAL STORES.-The prices of Rough Turpentine I
are little varied. Spirits continue heavy. Tar is in
good reediest. Pitch and Rosin are unvaried.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TA L Low.-the prices of Tallow
advanced towards the close of last week ; the demand
, was brisk, and few parcels offering ; but yesterday
the request v.-as limited, and the market might be
stated heavy-Yellow Candle 795. for early arrival
775. and for all the season 745. There was rather
mote_demand for Flax. Hemp is rather heavy ; the
prices of the latter have rather given way at St. Pe-
tercburgh.
Outs.-The accounts from the fishery continue ex-
ceedingly favourable ; the former statements are con-
firmed by the recent arrivals, yet the scarcity of Oils
in London is so apparent, that a considerable im-
provement has takenplace ; yesterday the prices fbr
arrival were £32 to £33. Southern OtTmay
at a small improvement. Linseed is little varied.l.-
Rape in request at an advancing currency. Galli-
poli is offered or. lower terms, Without facilitating
sales. Brazil Oil £94.55. per tun.
Tosacce.-There is a revival in the demand for
Tobacco ; considerable parcels are reported to have
changed hands; for Virginia cargoes 695. to 646.-
and Kentucky .525. to 565.
Faeir.-By public sale this forenoon-25 pipes
Trieste Currants 1305. to 1045.-11 casks Sicily Al-
monds, withdrawn.
Russ, BRANDY, AND Hocca.nes.-The Rum mar-
ket last week was heavy : the few purchases made
were at prices a shade lower. This forenoon a pub-
lic sale of 250 puncheons Jamaica, and 17 St. Kites
was brought forward ; the middling qualities ofda-
maica went off about 2d. per gallon lower ; the fine
in request at the former currency ; 29 to SO per cent.

14 per cent. middling 3s. 7d. to 3s. Bd. proofsbought '
in 31. 2d. Leewards may be stated heavy Id. per
gallon lower. In Brandy or Geneva there is little or
no variation.
Inotno.-The public sale of Indigo this forenocr,
27S chests East India, went off much about the last
East India mile prices.

POLICE.

GIMIT ALL.—..Yaltirday ereli/t aldin, A watchinaz
of St.'Dunstan's, Fleet-street, and Mary Anderson
and Sarah l'a.sdor, two common prostitutes, were
brought up for re-examination before Mr. Alderman
WOOD, charged upon suspicion of being concerned
in i most atrocious highway robbery.
tCrespectable young man, named Bassel, was in
Illip-yard, Temple Rar, g an early hour on Friday
/tenting last, somewhat intoxicated, and while stand-
ing there he was attacked by three or four women of
the town, and two men, by whom he was severely
beaten. Among the women were the two female
prisoners, who were most active in the attack ; and
Sarah Taylor struck him with such violence with
some instrument, as to cause the blood to gush from
his eyes and mouth in torrents. He pursued the
woman Taylor into fleet-street, and here he was
again attacked by her and her companions, and
beaten almost senseless. By a desperate effort he
succeeded in extricating himself from their grasp,
and the prisoner Aldin earning up, he desired him
to take charge of the waman Taylor. Instead, how-
ever, of doing this, he seized hold of the prosecutor,
and in conjunction with the gang, dragged him up
Bell-yard, and while the prostitutes and the two
men were busied in rifling his pockets, Aldin struck
him several severe blows with a bludgeon in the face
And on the breast. At this period, the prosecutor
*as robbigi of a five-pound and a one-pound sate,
With a quantity of silver. The work of plunder
s ving been completed, the prisoner Taylor nulled,
Aldin, and gave charge of Mr. Bassel for as-
saulting her. Aldin- immediately seized him, and
with the assistance of the gang, by whom he had
been robbed, dragged him along the street to St.
Dunstan's watch-hcuse, where the constable of the
night took the charge front Mrs. Taylor, and the
prosecutor still bleeding in a dreadful manner, and
completely exhaUsted from the beating he had re-
ceived, was locked up for the night. He was on
the following day brought before Mr. Alderman
Wood, who, upon hearing his tale, ordered him to
be taken from the bar, and the three prisoners to
take his place. The prosecutor related the circum-
stances in a clear and distinct manner, and was most
positive in his recollection of the persons of all the
prisoners.—His statement was further corroborated
by Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway, two respectable persons,
who were going to Covent Garden market on the
morning in question, and were induced to follow the
prosecutor and the gang, by. seeing the blood upon
the pavement ; they spokoparticularly to the conduct
of the two female prisoners, and that of Aldin.—The
latter ptisoner, on the present occasion, brought for-
ward two persons to speak in his behalf; but their
testimony tended rather to his crimination than other-
wise.—Nlr. Bassel, the prosecutor, attended, and re-
peated his former statement, without a single varia•
Lion. He was still in a very faint state, and wore a
shade over his eyes.
Mr. Alderman Wow), after hearing the whole of
the evidence recapitulated by the different witness%
saidhe was clearly of opinion, that the three priso-
ners should be committed for the felony.
Mr. PAYII2 observed, qi,at the main question was,
whether tie prisooer Aldin .had a felonious intent *
the.part whichlie ;oak la the transaction?
Mr. Alderman Woofs thought there could be no
doubt upon that point. In order, however to be
more certain, he would consult the City Solicitor.
In the mean time be directed the depositiqns to be
made out lsy to-morrow, when he should feel it his
duty to commit them for trial. They were accor-
dingly remanded. The office was crowded to excess
during the examination.
Bow.reasa7.—Jeremiah Kirk was committed for
trial on proof of having defrauded the porter of Mr.
Coutts, the banker, of several shillings by a fictitious
tale of distress. His fabricated story was, that his
' wife was lying dead in a hospital, and that he
wanted money to bury the corpse.
Quatter-!sauatajt.—Saturday morning, about seven
o'clock, a tall man, dressed in a suit of dark-brown
clothe's, entered the shop of Mr. Rush, butcher, Re-
gent-street, Vincent.square, Horseferry-road, and
told the youth who was attending the shop that his
master, Mr. Rush (who set off a little before six to
purchase meat at Newgate-market), had requested
him to call at his shop and desire Mrs. Rush to send
him (the shop-boy) with the tray to Newgate-market,
to help to carry home the meat he had bought. The
man left the shop, and the shop-boy called to his
mistress and informed her that his master had sent
for him ; she said that he might set off, for she should
be down immediately ; when she came down stairs
in a few minutes after, she found that some one had
entered the parlour and carried off a dozen ivory
handled knives and forks, some silver spoons, a tea-
caddie, and other articles. The youth returned from
market, as he had learned from his master that he
had not sent for him, and he found that a purse con-
taining 61. belonging to himself, had been stolen out
of the cupboard. There is very little doubt that the
robbery was committed by the man above described,
who invented the story to get the youth out of the
way. Mr. Rush did not credit the boy's statement
'ivbeis he returned 'home, and yesterday he gave him
in charge of a Constable, who brought him to this
Office. He told his story in a very simple manner ;
there was no evidence in contradiction of his state-
ment, and he was discharged.
WORSII I r-ITIt EST.—CRUELTY OP PARENTS.—Da-
NW Thomas, and Sarah his wife, were brought up
' and examined on a charge of cruelty and ill treat-
ment to Francis Otterway, a child ten years old. It
appeared on examination that the unfortunate girl
was the daughter of the female prisoner by a former
husband, and since her second marriage she, the ma
ther, resides with her present husband, in Prince's-
greet, Bethnal-green. The neighbours had been
continually annoyed by the piercing screams of the
Some of them remonstrated with the mother
but without avail. The screams were still heard ra-
ther more piercing than ever, till Saturday last,
when the cry became more penetrating and heart-
rending than usual, and the neighbours Rocked before'
the door, when it was discovered that the mother
was holding her for the father, who, with all his
might, was flogging with a cane till her body was
covered with weals and bruises. The neighbours gave
information to the Parish officers, and a warrant was
obtained against the mother and father-in-law, and
they were now brought forward and examined at
