SYDNEY.
Sitting Magistrate for the ensuing Week—
JOHN HARRIS Esq.
Assize of Bread as before.
Yesterday the new Market opened with a toler-
able good supply of all kinds of marketable com-
modities, which sold at the following average prices ;
beef and mutton 15d. and pork 1s. per lb. fowls
4s. to 5s. a couple ; potatoes 9s. to 10s. per 100 lbs.
Wheat 11s. 6d. per bushel ; and other articles in
proportion.
The situation of the market is the most central
spot that could be found that was not too remote
from the landing Wharf ; the plan is neat and
uniform, each class of venders being kept distinct
from the rest ; and if any mode could possibly be
devised for the better correcting of impositions,
this must be it, as a regular Clerk to the market
is appointed to preside over the beam of Justice.
At day break the market people began to as-
semble ; when such as had not yet erected stalls
and shambles on the spots allotted them found
some difficulty in determining their boundaries.
A dispute of this kind produced a storm of words
between two of the market women, which had an
athletic termination. One was from Kissing
Point, the other Concord, and each appeared toler-
ably versed in the science of boxing. To speak
technically, they fought seven rounds stopped and
blocked, hit and parried in the first style of excel-
lence, until at length the championess of Kissing
Point was obliged to acknowledge herself van-
quished, and to solicit to a more reasonable mode
of argument.
The Review of the New South Wales Corps,
which was to have taken place last Friday, was
from the ground not being perfectly ready put off
till Wednesday next.

The following impudent act of infamy was
shortly since effected. — A box sent out
in the Portland and directed to James Atter, who is a
respectable settler in the colony, was applied for and
obtained by a person who gave a receipt for it in the
name of William Jackson, on account of Mr.
Atter, who had authorised no person so to do. This
took place upon the 6th of February ; an information
was laid upon it, and the Police were on the
alert for some days without any palpable clue that
could promise to bring about detection. At length,
from a strange concurrence of circumstances, suspi-
cion fell upon a man of the name of Clayton, who
lived at Hawkesbury, and when taken on board the
vessel was immediately recognised as the identical
person who had taken upon himself the charge of
Mt. Atter's property. He admitted that he was the
person said that he had by mere accident been employed
to go on board for the box by a person who said his
name was William Jackson, and desired him to
give a receipt for it in that name. He at the same
time denied any further knowledge of Mr. William
Jackson, or what he had done with the box ; and
we are sorry to add that several other depredations
of the same kind are since discovered to have been
committed ; but it is not impossible that this de-
tection may lead to something further.
