COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.- B•TCRDAT. _ tbaugianomn TANI, lx RR DIIMP:1111:147:7,11101; A; .: 1; lii - 11 - 8/Aftrii or LINIITATIONS. A question had been raised in this CLIP 011 a proof ten dered by the mother of the bankrupt, on which his Honour ease the follow iiig judgment lei. was on eppsication by Mrs. Brewer, the mother of the bankrupt, to prove for principal and interest on two promissory net a, one for 2001., dated March, 1810, and the other for 40W., dated January, 1841, and fur interest on each at 3} per nat. It is clear that the notes ere genuiae, and that intermt was reckoned up to Christmas, 1843, and settled on the Ilth April, 1814. From that time, however, till the bankruptcy is this yeer, no notice appears to have been lakes of the princisal or interest on eh. nue., nee does it Oran, sp...r that any sum was ever paid by the bankrupt expressly for inertial on the notes, or either of them; sad under such circumstances it is clear the stain's, of limitations would run in favour of the bankrupt's cre ditors, and p proof under the notes. But it ap pears that the bankrupt was also tenant under his mother of SOMMI premises at 331. a year; sal in respect of this and mother subject matter it is stated that there was an account between them, and that he paid her at different times small sums of money, the whole, however, not amountia,/ to any thing like the amount due for rent; sad under these ar• camitantie it was urged before me, that as it is a prineiple of law, that when a debtor pays mosey without limeade ap• propriatiou at the time, the creditor may at any subsequent time appropriate such payment to any of several debts due to him, the mother might in this case appropriate any of the same so paid to her as part payment of the principal or interest en the Dow, and thus revive the notes Is &Mose of the statute of limitations. I cannot me that its Ab sieges in th is ar gument ; for it seems to et would aned be in every ease, emu whem wane old de lad been paid, bat the *M em* Of payment lest, if there happened to be an Mama! Weems the parties am to sense modern dealings entirely distinct from the principal and interest on the old end stale demand, the creditor might put his debtor on proof of the discharge of the old demand, although a receipt in full may have been given years before, end either lost or destroyed as useless. This would prut.eally supersede the Statute of Limitations, and would be a most dangerous doctrine. I cannot ac quince in it, nor do I think that any of the modern cues sanction it. My opinion is, that to exempt a stale demand from the effect of the Statute of Limitations, them must be either a recognition of its existence by the party to be charged in his writing, or a part payment within the six years clearly referable to either the principal or interest on the stale demand. There is nu pretence for saying in this case that any onto( the modern payments is clearly refer able to the principal or interest on the old demand, aad therefore the prootmsest be rejected. Thus views seem to me to be sanctioned by what fell from the jadges in " Cato* v. Partridge" (4 Scott's N. It., 819-1842), and " Clarke v. Aleuader ' (8 Scott's N. 8.,147-1844). The ease was argued by Mr. It. Ellis fur the creditor, and Mr. Moll fa the assignees. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-841111DAT.

Mr. Cooke raised the question that the petition could not be sustained, as the insolvent bed made an easigament within'three months of its being filed, and not oa weeount of one of the objects mentioned by the set. The insolvent said he made the assignment to save the p rt for all the creditors. Mr. Cooke remarked that the insolvent could have filed his petition, and given up his property without making an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Dowse admitted that the ease did not come within the receptions mentioned. He could not say that the as signment was for the support of the insolvent's family, or in the ordinary coarse of his trade. But the court would consider that it was done for the benefit of the creditors. Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that the as signment did not come within the exceptions of the act, sad that he was bound to dismias the petition, as it was executed within three months of the date. The insolvent might, however, file another if be was advised. The petition was accordingly dismissed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, FEB. 19. Niel Paws Cover.—Bowe Xs. &MOP Were.

At the time he asked me to discount the bill he said be wee a landed proprietor, and that he had got it frost Mr. Dishiest, the drawer, Lir prop , rty which that g.n tl.maa had sold on his account. I have reason to know that the acceptor and drawer have, upon being written to, stated that the bill is a forgery.

It. did not, he said, know he bad any question to pet to Mr. Baser, or to say any t'..iag except to same Lim that the bill was genuine. Mr. Merest Deyed, managing clerk to Messrs.

When I arrived there I saw Brostin in conversation with Mr. Samloft Five minutes afterwards, Mr. Seimloff directed me to take Bruetin into custody upon the charge of uttering two forged i bills of exchange, each for 5 ,0 00 trance. I told the pri soner that he must come with me Cu the station-house. He' said ha wished first to go to Mr Bauer to pay 40t., which he owed to that gentleman. I told him I couki not allow him to go. He then said he wished to meet • friend near the Monument, who was waitind for him. I then put him into a cab, aad, accorapauied by another otiLer, and Mr. Seyed, we drove to the Metro tavern ! by Brustin's diree• taoo• BrAitin went into the parlour of the tavern, followed by me, and sat down next to the prisoner Annet, who was sitting there, and entered into conversation with him. They talked together in French. I asked An ima his business there, and he said he was waiting fur the other prisoner, with whom he had none into the City for the purpose of transacting business. I took them both to the station-house, and searched them. Upon Brostin I found a purse containing 91. 7d.; two pistols loaded with powder and balls, and capped. One •f them was in his trousers' pocket, the other was in the left breast pocket of his coat. I also found upon him • pack of cards, 15 pawn brokers' duplicates, and several letters aad papers, amongst which was a passport, dated 20th July, 1852. On Annet I found a purse containing W. 70., and 30 duplicates. Annet pee as his address 17, Shafteshwy- crescent, Pim lico, and 1 went there an d: found the two documents I produce. I have no knowledge of Anner, but lem prove that the two prisoners have been in constant communica tiaa.

He was unable to speak, and was quite insensible, his windpipe having been cut right through. The surgeon thought the prisoner was in too dangerous a state to be removed then; but he was subsequeady taken to the hospital.

It was proved that for several weeks past the defendant had been in the habit of visiting a wax-work exhibition in the Strand. lie originally introduced himself to the porter, andsubsequently to Mrs. Springthorpe, the proprieten, and some of the assistants and musicians, as an officer of the detective force, whose duty it was to drop in everywhere occasionally, and see what was going on. As it was usual to afford the police every facility in the discharge et their duties, the doors wire freely opened to the prisoner, who walked in an out when be liked, occasionally indulging in such remarks as, " I've got a heavy business in hand Just now ;" " Would give 21. for the man I am after now '•" " Gering to Germany next week oa stunning business," rim In conversation with the assistant in charge of the wax figures he once or twice commented upon the private tac tics of the " force," but the imposition was at length de tected, and he was given into custody.

IToOson P.;lo;;;:leseriiei - u — ;; botanist and her balist," living in Brunswick-street, Hackney-road, but who had been stated to be also a cigar maker, was charged, upon his own admission, with being the individual against whom a coroner's jury had returned a verdict of man slaughter, for having, by the improper administration of powerful drugs, caused the death of Mrs. Charlotte Cardwell, of Shrubleod-road, Ashton. The deceased, as appeared in the investigation before the coroner, was believed to be suffering from a disease of the chest, and having met with a quack pamphlet—Dr. Coffin's (laid. to Health"—was induced to place Ilene' in the hands of the prisoner, one of Collin's advertised agent., and, under his directions, took largo quantities of what be called medicines, but in a short time was reduced to extremity beyond the aid of the most skilful medical man, sad died. The greater part of the stuff which the had taken proved to be lobelia. The coroner's jury at once found a verdict of manslaeghter against the prisoner, ;who had bees present during the inquiry, but on hearing the very decided medical testimony, disappeared from the jury room before the coroner's warrant was made out for his committal. Pegs One; wished to be released on bail, but Mr. liammill said he was charged, upon his own confes sion, with being the person named in the coroner's warrant for committal, upon the finding of a jury ; and under such circumstances the application for bail must be made to the judges of the superior courts, and not to him. The prisoner was, therefore, handed over to the custody of Meadows, the coroner's (dicer. who held the warrant, and was forthwith conveyed to Newpte to await his trial, unless bailed in the meantime by one of the judges. LAMBETH. Amelia Pullen, a young woman, applied to Mr. Norton for his advice and masetanee under the following circum stances:—The applicant stated that she had been in the service of a widow lady is the district, and had become ac quainted with a constable of police, named Samuel Skinner, 1:12 L, and that person, in a short time after their acquain tance, had promised to make her his wife. Relying on his promise, she had given him 71., her savings, and he declared that ho should provide a license, and they should be mar ried at St. Saviour's Church on the day befere (Friday). She prepared herself for the wedding, and expected that Skinner would have called to take her to church, but he never made his appearance either at her lodgings or at the church. She then made inquiries at the station home of the div'aion to which he belonged, and there as certained that, having given previous notice, he was dis charged from the pubes on Tuesday morning last; and,beyond this, she could get no account of him. In reply to the questions from the magistrate, the applicant said, that bkinncr had induced her to leave her situation a fortnight ago, at.l having fully relied on his making her his wife, she left herself without a penny, and knew not what to du. Mr. Norton— What representations did this constable make to ynu to induce you to give him your money ? Applicant-1 he last 21.

About half-past eleven o'clock, last night, a house of ill-fame, in New , in this town, was the scene of one of the most horrid and determined murders which it has ever been our lot to record. The victim of the foul deed is a Rirl named Catherine Sheardon, a prostitute, liv ing in the house of Ann Clough, generally known ae " Farmer Ann," and the person who committed the horrid crime is la man named ',teary Dobson, a cabinet-maker, about 24 years of age. Deceased was found lying across the room, on her right side; • wound, two or three inches deep, had been in flicted on the left side of the neck, severing the jugular vein entirely, and giving evidence that death had been in atantaneous. A razor, covered with blood, was found on the floor; and in one of deceased's hands was found the street-doer key. Having entered the house, it is conjectured that Dobson caught deceased ia his arms, and using, perhaps, some ex pressions of endearment towards her, for she appears to have made no struggle, while holding her in his left arm, be cut her throat iu the manner we have above described. He at once made his escape from the house, and on the entry of Clough she found deceased oa the floor, quite dead, no one else being in the house at the time. The tragedy must have taken place within a very short time, as Clough asserts she was not absent from her house more than 20 minutes in all. Information of the affair was at once given to the police, and within an hour Dobson was apprehended. Prisoner, while on the way to the statio n -ho us e, asked repeatedly if the girl was dead, and on being told she was, he replied" And I have done it, what more do you want ?" He further adds 1 , " You are a pretty set of devil., you police; I have been within twenty yards of the place all the time." He also stated that he had kicked the deceased violently. Prisoner was much excited, and appeared to have been drinking; be was not, however, at all drunk. He appeared to have no idea of the awful p osition in which he bad placed himself, and passed his time is his cell in singing, &c. IPII ARRYIRLD, SATURDAY, 6 ~w. The inquest on the body of the unfortunate victim of this horrible and brutal tragedy was commented by Thos. Taylor, Esq., deputy coroner, at the Albion Hotel, West- moreland-street, Wakefield, soon after sin o'clock on Satur day evening. The jury, after a patient investigation, re. turned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Henry Dobson. The Coroner filled up the necessary documents, and committed the prisoner to York Castle for wilful murder. THE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL The Camilla, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Captain Brownie's, belonging to the Waterford Steam-ship Com pany, left London on Wednesday, and Southampton on Thursday, fer Plymouth, and on Friday morning, at about 20 minutes before 5 o'clock, when about six miles from the Start, which was bearing 8.N.8., she cams into collision with the brig Dawson, of Sunderland, bound from Cardiff for London, with coals. Mr. Bardileld, the mats of the Camilla, who warn officer of the watch at the time of the ac cident, states that it was a floe starlight morning, the Camilla was going at good speed, steeriag W.N.W. N., and bad the lights all right as required by steam-vessels, when he saw • brig ahead, bearing about half • point on the starboard bow. The helm was put a port with the in tention of leaving the brig on the port side, agreeably to the regulations in that case provided. It is presumed that no look-out had been kept on board the brig, for she come directly on for the steamer, and notwithstanding the Camilla bad been brought round with her head N.N.W.,the ran with her bow on the sponsen of the steamer. It is presumed that bat for the speed at which the steamer was making her way through the water, the conse quences that followed would have been much more serious than they were; as it was, considerable damage was done. The mate of the downer went on board the Dawson directly after the collision, and found that the damage was almost limited to the carrying away of the bowsprit and a rt of her bulwarks, and that she was not leaking. Ms' larboard paddle-box of the steamer was considerably da maged, and it was found on attempting to disconnect the engines that she could not be worked. Under these dr enmstances, Capt. Brownies' engaged one of the pilot boats to take the passengers, about thirty in number, into Ply mouth, and pat the Castilla under 'ail and kept along by the land ; and on Friday evening the Preumiseher Adler, the Cork Company's steamer, boned for London, fell in with the disabled steamer, and towed her into Ply mouth harbour, where she now remains, alongside the Millbay Pier, repairing. It was nearly midnight on Friday when these vessels arrived at Plymouth. There was no noise or confusion on the occasion of the eollisioa, sad no feelings of alum appear to have been cashed. Several of the passengers were at the timeseawall, wear the paddle boa, and saw the brig come on ; tM whole of whom, in cluding a gentleman connected with the royal naval service at Malta, unite is the opinion that no blame can be attached to the officers or crew of the steamer. When Mr. Bardlield went on board the brig some surprise was ex pressed at the supposition that a leaded coal vessel should bear up for a steamer. This must have arisen from ignorant* or affectation. By the position of the brig's light in her rigging, to the windward of the weather ;of her foresail, it is thought that she would have cleared the steamer if she had been kept on in the course she was steer ing when first seen. It is believed that the brig was towed into Dartmouth harbour by two snacks. The position in which the steamer was struck was the very best, because the strongest part in the vessel. The steamer was at the time of the collision going at ten knots, and the brig, it Is thought, at about eight knots the hour. COTTON.—Ltvaapooi, Fan. 19.—The sales of cotton to-day are estimated at 5,000 hales, aad comprise about 4,500 American (500 of which are taken by exporters, and 600 on speculation) ; 250 Egyptian, 6d. to 121 d. ; 260 Stunt, 4d. to 40. The market eland heavily, without change in yesterday 's quotations. Ifaacumna, Fan. 19.—We have had a quiet and ra ther drooping market throughout du week. On Tuesday the advice. of a declisini men assibst in the United States, with large receipts at the peels, sad of a legs satis factory state of business at Calcutta and Bombay, had the effect of checking business; and in 20's water twist, and in 30's and 40's mule, a decline in price of from id. to td. per lb. was quoted in the trade lists of some of the leading homes. Since then other causes have operated to the fur- Our contraction of business. The frost has to a considerable extent put a stop to the transit areas to the north of Eu rope ; letters from Batavia have shown a suspension of busieees there owing to the failure amoral Dutch house; the mail from South America has brought news of fresh re volutionary struggles at Buenos Ayrm, which must lead to an interruption of commerce; and Qom, again, we hays this morning a second mail from the United States by the Baltic steamer, bringing advice. of a further decline in the cotton market. These advices generally have bad a ten deney to tumuli' business, and have led to some irregularity in prime. Many of the spinners are working to order, and are not affected by it, and manufacturers can in some eases show a good list of contracts on their books (makers of printing cloths, for jaguars), but buyers are unwilling to place new orders without a concession of prime, which they will probably hold back for till obtained. There has been legs aninsatioa this morning than on either Tuesday or Thurs day, and the buaiuss has been of a very restricted cha racter. Prices are easier, but there will not be much busi ness before Tuesday, and probably not then, other things remaining as at present, unless a more decided reduction be submitted to. WOOLLEN CLOTH, LENDS, FEB. 19.—We have had a very good market to•day ; wool dyed black cloths, mix ture pruuell, in various colours, and white cloths, have been in demani, and a good business has been done in all these kinds of goods. The stock of cloths was never lower than it is at present. Prices are very firm with= upward tendency, consequent a the heavy advance in the price of wools at the stiles now taking place in London. There have been some of the principal Loudon buyers in the town dur ing the present week, which has given a better tone to the home trade. The shipping houses continue pretty brisk. On the whole there is a very firm business doing in the warehouses. HARDWARE.—Biastrwounw, Fin. 19.—A further rice in the price of copper during the week, accompanied by indications of another advance on no distant day, has excited very serious apprehensions for the effect of tha un precedentediy high price of this metal, as regards some of the most important branches of our trades, for although there are still large orders in the hands of mast of the manu facturers, and advanced prices and reduced discounts have been freely given and accepted, it is quite certain that before many weeks have gone by a ►e-action will be felt, and the manufacturing interest will be crippled, especially those with limited capital, to • much greater extent than has hitherto been enticipated. At the present moment the actual scarcity of copper is so great that it is impossible to calculate with any degree of certainty to-day what its price may be next week, or indeed whether it can be obtained et all ; the manufacturers ere ctonoqueetly unable to accept orders at any fixed prices. Many tonic° orders, too, will be withdrawn, and such of the merchants as ere doing a commission trade who hare received orders, very common prudence will induce them to withhold these fr.•m the ma nufacturers because of the great advance which has Taken place in prices since those orders wi re la ur.tted to this country. For the future (se regards the prieint y ar at least) we believe th• re is vary little probability that prices will subside, so elicit:initial- Vt. clernat.d for Vie metal and so limited the supply. o..ty f••w mouths -ince toe idea that copper would go up to 15111. a ton was u good deal ridi culed ; at the present m•.ment it is can event of Ivy probable occurrenee.

Vo• smelter's pro. cow The brass foundry and other vitch trains will suffer from the cause here referred to, indeed the action is already felt, for although it hue been noticed there are plenty of orders on the books, we are assured that during the last ten days very few have come in. During the last week or two large quantities of old metal of all sorts have been' scraped together and re-converted, many parsons thus unexpectedly turning to a very profitable account much of hitherto unprofitable material. Meet of the manu facturers have ceased issuing their circulars for several weeks, and such as are still sent out convey but little idea of what prices may be at the end of the week, and are there fore not to be relied upon. To the public they convey no real information whatever. The general trade of the towo remains good—in some branches it is what is considered brisk, especially the lamp and chandelier makers, gar fitters, electro-plater., edge tool makers (including indeed all kinds of heavy steel toys), wire -drawers, sad metal sellers. The refiners, too, are extremely busy, and the jewellers, especially the gold chain makers, are probably busier than they have ever been known to be at this season of the year. Very much of this is attributable to the prodigious quantity of such articles which is being sent off to Australia ; in fact, to this also may to • great extent be attributed the great activity which prevails in many of our trades, although with one or two exceptions the foreign orders are said to be pretty well up to the average. The manufacturers of pis tole have very large orders for every description of the arti cle ; these orders are sufficient atsthe present time to occupy months in their completion ; many of the emigrants have taken out weapons of this sort as a speculation ; the conse quence is that the manufacturers have been so pressed with business that they have scarcely a pistol to sell for love or money. The United States trade continues tolerably steady, and there is a fair sprinkling of orders in from India; altogether the trade of this town and of the district is in a very healthy and prosperous condition. The iron trade is said to be not quite so firm, but unless it be in pigs, we believe there has been no decline whatever in prices.

In foreign there was scarcely any business reported, prices remaining nominally the same. Malting Barley a slow sale, maltsters being well stocked for the moment. Grinding sorts had buyers for immediate consumption at about former prices. Beans scarce, and English the turn dearer. Oats continue neglected, and the decline recently submitted to has not brought forward buyers. Imports during the week ending Feb. 19: Wheat, 1,150 qts. ; Barley, 610 ; Oats, 1,040 ; Peas, 643. Gulutroart Feb. 19.—Our market was wall supplied with Wheat. ' The demand was steady, and prices firmly maintained. In some iostaaese a alight advance was ob tained.

HBRTFORD, Feb. 19.—The supply of Wheat at our mu kit to-day small ; trade for all descriptions firm. at fully as much money. Barley sold at 1.. per qr. higher prices, with a short supply. Other sorts of Corn fully sup port the prices of last week. Wheat, from 241. to 37.. per load. Barley, 255. to 375. per qr. Oats, 14s. to 21.. Peas, 186. to 225. per load. Beaus, 186. to 275. Tares, 20s. to 22.. Rye, IS.. to 216. MANCH/ASTER, Fail. 19.—1 n the early part of the week an improved demand was experienced for flour, chiefly of good secondary quality, and for ouch descriptions prices rather exceeding the quotations of the preoeding market-day were obtained. Subsequently, however, an inactive feeling has prevailed. but holders have remained eery firm. Oats and oatmeal have undergone no material change. Owing, doubtless to the continuance of aintrary winds, the arrivals from all quarters at Liverpool are ex ceedingly scanty. At our market this morning wheat and flour were held for very full prices, but the business passing was limited. Oats sad oatmeal steady at previous rates. NATLAND. Feb. 19.—The supply of all grain was short. Wheat in a few instances:as line and dry qualities realised Is. advance, but generally the prime obtained were unaltered Barley, Besse, and Fess, as last week. Feb. 19.—n. trade during the present week (owing to the disappointing amounts from Mark-lane,) has not made any further movement, the amount of business being upon the whole limited from the above cause, still however, the value of Wheat has been well sustained, whilst the demand for Flour has slightly increased, the extra enquiry having enabled factors to re cover the extreme depression of last week, so that choice households have found buyers at 365. Bar ley of all kinds has met more attention, without any quoteable change being apparent, the same remarks being applicable to other articles. The accounts from the agricultural markets continue to manifest en upward ten dency, and although the consuming marts have not as yet responded in a similar degree, it is quite clear with a coa- Simeon, of moderate arrivals from abroad, we shall have to advance to draw supplies from the coast, and we think it not improbable we may recover the decline which recently occurred in Wheat, amounting to fully 3s. per qr. from the greatest point of depression. At our market this morning we had a moderato show of Wheat from the growers, and the arrivals front the south, owing to the prevalence of con trary winds, being trifiing, fresh-thrashed samples were taken off quickly at a further advance of is. per qr., whereas the in quiry for south country and foreign woe more general at fully the rates of this day se'nnight. For a cargo of new Wismar red just arrived, weighing naturally 421bs. per bushel but weighed 631 be., 625. was acquired. Flour was held with much firmness, but late rates could not be ex ceeded, neither were the transactions to any extent. Rye is wanted, and anything extra would command Is. more money. Malting Barley sold rather more freely, 62Ibs. bright qualities making 325., and rather heavier weights anything more select being worth Is. m or e. Grinding oohs without change. In Malt * little stirring ; holders, however, chow less inclination to press sales than of late, from Barley maintaining comparatively so high a range. Beans sold slowly, whilst Peas (owing to the seve rity of the weather) were held for a small advance. With Oats we were scantily supplied by our growers, but the arrivals from Scotland being upon a liberal scale, all descrip tions sold slowly, whereas had hotness been forced lower terms must have been conceded, which holder., under existing circumstances, were unwilling to comply with. The arrivals this weak are: Wheat, oosstwise, 75 qrs. ; foreign, 630. Rye, coastwise, 43; Barley, coastwise 420. Oats, eseatwise, 1816; foreign, 620. Flour, 120 sacks. NORWICH, Feb. 19.—The put week has been one of Severs character, much snow has fallen, and the nights have beta frosty, and, in consequence, thrashing operreruns have been retarded. At market to-day there was a small supply of Wheat Ey the farmers; the merchants, on the contrary, offering largely, pricer ruled very Srm at Is. per qr. advance on the prices of last market-day. The condition is much improved, fully 110. per bushel. Flour trade, f.0.b., was brisk, at as advance of Is. per sack, and soma large quan tities changed hands at the advance. Barley was a brisk sale for the few parcels of prime malting on offer, but no advance can be noted. Grinding descriptions were rather sager for the buyer. Beans and Peas were a small offer ; demand small ; in price no change. Oats were a large sup ply, and a trifle reduction had to be submitted to before any clearance could be made. Prices:—Wheat, white, 48s. to 62.1. per qr.; red, 445. to 461. Barley, malting. 32a. to 345.; grinding, 265. to 295. Beans, 365. to 38e. Fees, 345. to 36e. Oats, 221. to 265. Fine household Flour to.b., 345. per sack of 2801 be., purchasers fins ng sacks and claiming one month's credit. PIITEHBOIOUGH, Feb. 19.—We had a good supply of grain here to day. Wheat and Barley made rather higher prices than last week. Beans le. per qr. dearer. No alto ration in the value of Oats. READING, Feb. 18.—Wheat rather short in supply; con dition much improved. Sales were made tolerably free, at folly le. per qr. advance from last week. Best malting Barley mails the extreme prices of last market. Grinding qualities, although somewhat neglected, could not be ob tained on easier terms. All other kinds of Corn without alteration. Wanscu, Feb. 19.—We have but a small supply ct grail,' of any kind at market to day. The best Wheat must be called Is., and the inferior sorts 6d. per qr. dearer than last week, with a firm healthy il , mand. Oats, Brans, and other articles fully support former prices. Woncarman, Feb. 19.—Our market was fairly supplied with W heat, and all descriptions of English were fully as dear. Barley scarce and wasted. Oats unalterel. Beans rather d . Peas lc per qr. lower. YORK, Feb. 19.—Ws bare a moderate supply of Wheat at our market to-day, the demand for which was pretty good, at rather higher prices. Bsrley was also the turn dearer. Oats and Beans fully msintained last week's rates. Conic, Feb. 18.—The supplies of native produce to mar ket this week are to a fair extent. Wheat advanced Is. per brl. for Irish. Foreign in better demand, without altera tion. Barley firm, at previous quotations. Oats lost the advice noticed in our las:, and must be noted 3d. to 4d. lower on the week.

Bar ley without change, but Oats have sold freely at an advance of 3,1. her bartit on black, and front 4d. to Gd. on white.

Oats fitted for seed are much enquired after, and for such le. to 2s. per qr. advance is freely paid. Here, to-day, we had a large supply of Wheat, moderate of Oats, and small of Barley. Wheat and Oats met a ready sale at prices in favour of sellers. Barley, owing to farmers asking high prices, sold slowly ; seed par cels, however, realised Is. per qr. advance.

NEW YORK, FIB. 7. Money ranges at sto 6 per cent. for loans on demand, the rates depending much on the character of the borrower, as well as on that of the paper offered. United States stocks °retinue in good demand, and quotations are rather higher. Fancy stocks are heavy, and prices tending down wards.

COTTOW.—The business transacted since our last review of the market per Europa, amounting to 4,900 bales, has I been (with the exception of about 1,000, taken to-day for export), almost exclusively for home use. Prices have been veryirregular, and in favour of the buyer for all grades. The average decline for the week is fc. per lb., the princi pal reduction being in qualities below middling, %%Web constitute the bulk of our stock. While thus, at this port, influenced by the heavy receipts advised by telegraph at New Orleans, prices droop, and the buying is restrict( dto the immediate wants of the few spinners who now lot-k to this market for their supplies ; at southern ports the fluc tuations do not exceed fc., with daily heavy sales. The following is a copy of a despatch received by us from one of the first houses in New Orleans, dated February 2: —" Receipts at this port, 1,06-5,000 ; middling, 91e.,,, active, lower qualities dull. Total receipts, 1,929,0e0 increase, 486,000. Mobile, 4th; middling, 91c. active. At 91c. Id freight , freight, and 8 exchange, the cost to sell in Liverpool is 6d., worth at last dates 6 9-16 d. We are ad vised that there is less doing for England both at Mobile and New Orleans; but heavy baying for account of northern spinners, heavier than ever before known. All accounts confirm the opinion that the consumption of the manuaa Luring states is very rapidly increasing; the opening of new channels of trade having reduced the stocks of goods in spinners' hands to • very low point, leading to a :nutria) improvement in makes suitable for export. It becomes I therefore, an interesting inquiry to ascertain what quan tity will this year be required for the consumption of the world, and how far the incoming crop will meet these requirements. All will make their own calculations on this subject, and be guided by them in their opera tions. That the crop adopting the largest accredited es timates will all be needed, is evidently the opinion of those eagsged in the trade, as evidenced in the heavy buying and fatty of prise at southern ports under the increased receipts which have again here awakened confidence in moderate estimate. But to arrive at any reliable figures for crop is now as difficult an at any period of the season. The written opinions of 207 parties, scattered all over the United State, were on the Ist instant opened and recorded ; between the lowest and highest there was found to bo a range of 1,500,000 bales, while the average of the whole was 8,119,000. If the receipts do not fall off between the 15th of February and 15th of April the larger estimates must prove correct; bet advice recently to hand from parties who have never been known to under-estimate the crop, state tl.at " there will be a falling off (during that period) that will as tonish the trade." We are not prepared to give any opioi on this subject at the moment, but think it of less conse quence to the trade than the fact to which we before ed. verted—namely, the steady maintenance of prices under heavy receipts, at rates far above the limits of foreign orders, or the parity of prices in foreign market,.

FLOUR AND MIAL.-State and Western brands are ap parently leas active, but they remain firm, displaying, if anything, an upward tenor. There is little arriving by railway, end as the daily transactions diminish the supple, holders assume greater confidence, setting aside all anxiety to realise, and asking very full prices, The boisterous weather and the Canada's absence restrict the demand and retard the sales. The day's movement" reach 8,000 Ms. We quote-Sour, from 4 dole. 874 c. to 5 dole. ; superfine, No. 2, from 5 dole. to 5 dels. 121 e. ; common to good state, from 5 dols. 43te. to 6 dols. 661 e. ; favourite state, f TOM 5 dole. 564 e. to 5 dole. 624 c.; Mixed to strait Indiana and Michigan, from 5 dole. 62}c. to 6 dole. 75e. ; common to good Ohio, from 5 dole. 681 e. to 5 doh. 814 e. ; Fancy Genesee. and Ohio, from 6 dole. 76e. to 6 dols. 87}c. ; Extra Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, front 5 dole. 874 e. to 6 dols. 25c.; extra Genesee, from 5 dols. 75e. to 6 dole. 50e.

The day's sales include 2,500 Ms., mixed to favourite, at 5 dole. 75e. to 6 dole., and fancy at 6 dole 25e. to 7 dole. 60e. Rye Sour is inanimate at 4 dole. 50c. for fine, and 4 dole. 624 c. for superfine per bl. Corn meal is very dull at 3 dols. 60e. for Jersey, and 3 dole. 76e. for Brandywine per bl. Garth. -Wheat is without decided change. The con sumptive and export demand is good, but at prices beneath factors' views, and hence the absence of large sales. 10,000 bushels Genesee white were shipped from first hands last evening, rather than dispose of the lot here below 1 dol. 35c. About 2,600 bushels fair Southern white were pur chased at 1 dol. 25e. Rye is quiet and languid at 90c. to 91e. per bushel. Barley seems the same. A sale of 1,600 bushels two-rowed was reported at 72c. State and Western oats are extremely dull at 49c. to 50e. per bushel. Corn is plenty and heavy. The presently and prospectively large arrivals from the south intimidate both holders and pur chasers, and while the former manifest an eagerness to realise, the latter display an indisposition to buy at current rates. The day's transactions amount to 22,500 bushels inferior to prime new Southern white and yellow at 64e. to _7oc. FttEtonre.—Engagements for Liverpool have been light.

Charles Saunders, aged 32, the man charged with the murder of Mr. Thomas Toiler, near Ilford, by striking him on the bead with a bludgeon, and afterwards cutting his throat, was brought up again on Saturday before the magistri.es at Ilford. It will be reculleetad that the prisoner upon being first anprehended, acknowledged his guilt. Some further confirmatory evidence having been adduced, he was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. It is understood that there are no grounds for the report of the prisoner's ins inky. Slice his imprisonment ho has be haved well, and lie conversed rationally, except upon the subject of the murder. When this is n - -entioned, ho seems to think there arc persons out of doors who intend him harm. It is stated that his mother is in a lunatic asylum His friends are respectable and well conducted.
