That question is now being agitated throughout Europe, and the New York Chamber of Commerce, as one of the principal orpns of the commerce of the United States, would neglect its mission if it failed to bring the subject before the forum of public opinion. The principle, that bee morels make tree goods, was acknowledged by car pvmument almost coatempoiniair randy with its foematioa. It has ever since adhered to thawl, nchnitting all the time the l o gical deductions , until. in 1854, the PreUdsut of the United Staten submitted to the amnions metier of Europe, and asked their assent to the Id ollowieg propositions, via : 1. That free ships arise bee goods, i.e., th a t neutral ves sels protect enemy's property. 2. That the propatty of neutrals on board an enemy's mesa is not sub ject isilimation. Even here our goverment did not stop. A gratifying proof of its steady advents be Sbanl sad enlightened neve to found in the Presitheith meow to Compete of Decent bur 4, 1854, in which be Mae the broad ground that private property upon the ocean should be exempt from ensure by national ship of war as well as by privateers ,• that it should not he clptured nor molested by any kind of armed weasel, but that therms itimonity which it enjoys an land should equally attach to it at see, inasmuch am "it would be difficult to find any substantial rumens for the distinction now recognised in its appfication (the doctrine of immunity) to such propr . ty on and not to that which is found upon the coma. The famous " Declaration " of the Congress at Pane— l* Privateering is and remains abolished ; 2nd. The oeutral flag covers enezt . a r geode ; 3rd, Neutral goods are sot liable to ,upture enem y' s flag 4th, Blockades, in order to be binding, mint be effective—is, in its im portant f.atur,i, nothing more than an endorsement of the previously expressed views of the United States ; oeverthe less, the latter had to mhos its adhesion, because the congress imitated upon the indivisibility , of the four principles, and, by accedin g t o the ' Declaration," the United States would surrender the right to employ privateers is time of war. To the sur render of that right the United States demurred ;I but, said our Secretary of Stele, " Add to the first propo skim the following worth : ' And that the private property of the subjects or odium' of a belligerent on the high seas shall be exempted from seizure by public armed vessels of the belligerents, unless it be contraband :' thus amended, the government of the United States will adopt it, together with the other three principles contained in the Declare lion.' This comprises, as far as generally known, the action of the respective governments on the subject. The "De ' almanac" was not amended a s proposed by the United States. What might have been done, had the suggestions of our Secretary of State reached the congress m time mint remain a matter of conject u r e , b u t th e P r i m e Minister of Great Britain, in addressing • few months later, the merchants and traders of Liverpool, used these words : " I cannot help hopog that those principles of war which are applied to bosh ileaby land may be ex tended without exam*iea Is hostilities by see, so that private property shall an kart be the object of aggression on either side. ' And the )emperor of the French, at the close of the late war, _roolored to Austria all private shipping cupttued by Fria& ashen under the Austrian flag. Thus it may be maid, that the principles advocated by the Lnited States sad Lord relmenton have already found their practical application in Fiance. But it remains to have these principles incorporated into the declaration of 1 into the code of maritime law ; and to reach that end, the congress, which is expected to meet shortly at Paris, le thought to offer a ft opportu nity. The Hams Towns were the first to move in the mat ter ; their appeal has already met with • favourable re. qmse from many points in Europe, and it is not doubted that the agitation will lead to the desired result. if at this juncture the voice of the United States be heard once more m favour of the best latenste of commerce, and of justice sad immaaity. Claistisaity and civilisations have not been able to banish war, whatever they have done in mitigating its ergs, and if by • solemn and " decimation" war ran he made " an affair of gormasseals." and came to be a license wanton pillage Land asampesealed appropriation of Wielded propwV," it is the duty of a right-thinking to do all in he power to teriag about the change. resale to hesitates to wurraeder the right of employ ing privateers in time of war, believing that by the nee of that right only can we place ourselves upon an equality with • great naval power as to the means for inflicting in jury. It is tot oar ppoolicy to maintain a powerful navy-es • permanent establihmsnt ; we rounder it "detrimental to motional prosperity and dangerous to civil liberty." If forced to vindicate their rights by arms, the United Status are content to rely, in • considerable degree, upon pri. 'Menu AlWomb not prepared to advocate the surrender of this prerogative. except on the terms proposed by our govern. meat, the committee, for the purpose of eliciting correct views on the eubPsct, deem it their duty to look at the weapon, not only as to its value in the vindication of Ilft• timed ts, but also se • question of ethics. Privateers are net latended—artainly not solely or ma mainly —to fight an enemy's ships, but to capture or destroy the private property of a people with whose government another go vernment is at war. It is not love of country that arms and equips them, hut love of lucre ; not in a nation's grata. tads for patriotic and beret,• deeds are they content to find their reward, but in the prises they make, in the proceeds of property belonging to them only by the rot of might. The views reipecting privateering, its character or nature, have changed within the last half century. It is no longer the policy merely of the law that is questioned ; the present age sees m it a licensed violation of the established prin ciples of morality. The assertion in • celebrated public document. No better reasons can be given for the sur render of the right to resort to privateers than for fore going the right to receive volunteers," will not beer the test of strict crutiny. When, during the late Mexican war, our government accepted the services of v o l un t eer+ , it did not permit them to go whither they might choose, and seize or ,i-droy the property of Mexican citizens, but it re tained absolute control over their movements, and used them for Jo other purpose than to fight and vanquish the Mexican armies. And now, admitting that in former wars privateers were of great serrios to us, it does not follow that the resort to the same means of aggression would lead to equally esti,- factory results in • war at this time. The party having the largest amount of private property at sea will be the most espoused to injury from privateers. In our last war with England, the American property upon the ocean in the shape of vowels land cargo was truly insignificant compared with the Elglish. Our privateers had before them • field covered with riches to gather from ; while the eilemfa pri vateers found nothing, so to speak, but • barren waste. Look at the difference now ! Our mercantile marine equals in teenage the largest in Europe, sod the amount of Ameri =rate property upon the ocean c a n b e counte d by hun of millions of dollars only ! No other nation now could tempt the privateer with richer booty than ours. Again, if ,team be the source of wealth and prosperity, it is also the most powerful engine for the destruction of life and prpertv. The navies of Europe now consist of ntranishipi, and the lore mention of this fret suggests ilinost iii,urniountable difficulties in the successful prose. cution pnvateering by any other than steam vessels, and even then not much more than the destruction of property could he Attempted or expected. To bring the slow sailing prize into. port, without bein gover t a k en by the swift cruiser of the enemy, will be a nee exception. Privateeriag will be too cistly and unprofitable to embark in. To surrender the right ~f resorting to it will not prove too great • sacri fice, if thereby the immunity of private property can be purchased. But, we are asked, why surrender the right, when there is no need to apprehend that thto United States should ever be,ome involved in a great maritime war? If such a war is to break out, we shall not be a party to it. Be it so! But we .re not overlook the identity, the solidarity of the interests of commerce throughout the world. Whether the private property seized or destroyed be called American or European, the loni will affect us aIL A commercial crisis cannot sweep over Europe without prostrating America, and rrrr recd. The fate of commerce in the one hemisphere shapes its destiny in the other. And finally ; however remote the danger of any great maritime WM', we cannot expect to be, for any grad length of time, without exciting and critical pot.tmsl questions, without the alarm consequent thereon, and the ruinous loans resulting therefrom. What with the destruction of coo&lenee and the suspense . of business, the fear of war will for a time work es much in jury am war itself. But sada crises, if not entirely to be avoided, will become more, rare, if the inviolability of private property at see, in time of war, not lees than in time of pea." its exemption from seizure by national ships of war as voiles by privateers, be aohieLay . g a narinteed. net guaranty, it is believed, may new be i ed by an energetic expression of the wishes of the people and government of the United States ; and with the view of *Alban forth such expression ; the committee respectfully recommend the adoption of the annexed rtru- Nimes.

(Before Mr. Justice HilL) ALLZOZD PALM nuaxemormrr ON SHIPBOARD. A seaman named Brown brought an action against a muter mariner named William. to recover damages for altedfalse imprimummt on shipboard. plaintiff shippedm board the Brunel as an ordinary seaman, for the romp from Liverpool to Bombay and back to Liverpool ' • but on the outward v o y age h e su ff ere d so much from a disease contracted on shore that he was 001111pletely incapacitated for work. When the vessel arrived at Bmbay the plaintiff applied for hie discharge but Captain Williams refused to accede to the , •regnant • and when the plaintiff got on shore be refused to return to the ship. He was given into cos. tad), taken before the magistrates, and sen tenced to four weeks' imprisonment. He was then sent back to the ship, but as he still refused to work he wss sen toted to a further imprisonment for twelve weeks. Before the expiration of this term, however, Brown was taken on board, and the ship proceeded on h rvoyage, but as the plaintiff still to work he was by the captain's orders confined in a small cabin during the remainder of the voyage, which occupied three months and a half. When the Brunel arrived in Liverpool Brown was given into custody, on the charge of refusing to work, but the magis trates dismissed the owe, and the present action was brought, to recover damages for the confinement during the voyage e e defence was that the plaintiff feigned illness in order to avoid work, and that he had no roisonable excuse for not working. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 20s. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) CLUN BY A DITECTIPS FOR LUCKY CATCH. rsormery.—A Joseph Bates, a private detective officer is Liverpool, sought to recover the sum of 1251. from James N'Henry, 'merchant, also of Liverpool. It appeared that in July, 1858, the plaintiff was em ployed by the defendant to follow and arrest a person named Archibald Montgomery, belonging to New Orleans, who at the tim e o f Wlienry's bankruptcy, 1864, owd him the SUM of 15,0001., which "am was still owing in 18158. The plaintiff went to Southampton, where it was expected Montgomery would land from the steamer then due from New York. The plaintiff was 'applied with a description of Montgomery, a warrant for him apprehension, and instructions how to proceed • but as Montgomery did not land at Southampton, Bales went to Paris, where he had an interview with the defendant. With the assistance of a Parisian officer it was found that Montgo mery had landed at Havre from the steamer. Bates pro wading thither, it was discovered that Montgomery had left Havre for Pari s on the day preceding. After returning to Park, Bates with mach difficulty f - ound the hotel in which the delinquent was residing. At this place the defendant had an interview with Montgomery, and left him on an ap pointment to roast him on the following day. la the mean time, however, Montgomery attempted to make his escape to the railway station, and thence to Geneva ,• but Bates, being on the watch, followed the cab to the railway station, and there arrested both Montgomery and his wife. While in custody the defendant had an interview with Montgo mery, the result being that the latter paid 3,0001., and was allowed to go at large. The plaintiff's usual charge for his services was V. 2s. per day, and his outlay for travelling and other expenses had been 35/. ; but over and above these sums he claimed a commission on the amount of massy recovered through his instrumentality. He had been paid 501. on account, and he now claimed the further sum of 1251. The defence was that the claim of the plaintiff was ex orbitant ; that the sum paid was amply sufficient to cover all the services of Bates, and was equal to what is paid to London officers for similar services ; and that in respect of the 501., the plaintiff had given a discharge for the whole claim. The jury, after a brief consultation, retuned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Williaau and Mr. Baron Channel].) II George Brown 25, was charged with ste a ling a quantity of plat. , the pro perty of Charles Frederick Phillips. Mr. O'Connell conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Taylor. This robbery, it appeared, was committed in January, 1859, and the circumstances connected with it were of • somewhat peculiar character. The prosecutor is a gentle. man residing at 48, Inverneseterrace, Bayswater, and on the day the robbery was oommitted,a servant in the establishment, Denied Mary Anne Creggs, who had been out on an snood, upon her return found the prisoner in the kitchen carrying a quantity of plate. The moment the prisoner saw her, he said he was very sorry for what he bad done, and if she would forgive him he would band over all the property. He then put down • quantity of plate that be had in his bands and took some more out of his pockets, and he was then about to go away, but the girl Cregge very courageously laid hold of him. He, however, broke away from her and sea off, but WY pursued and brought back to the house. Mrs. Phillips then ascertained that ell the plate was safe, and the prisoner was allowed to depart. Nothing more was heard of him until about a month ago, when he war taken up on • charged committing a robbery of plate under similar circumstances, and the girl Cregp, and two other witnesses, swore positively to the prisoner as being the man who wee in possession of the property under the circumstances above stated. Mr. Justice Williams, in summing up, complimented the girl Crew upon the gallantry and good sense she had ex hibited upon the occasion, and he said that the only ques tion for the jury to consider was whether the identity of the prisoner was established to their satisfaction. The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty. A mtinaite was then put in by which it appmred that the prisoner had been summarily convi c ted o f ►a robbery of the same character at Marlborough-street Police Court, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. The prisoner was sentenced to three years' penal ser vitude. &churl Dyer, the lad who wu convicted of forgery under very aggravated circumstances, was brought up for judg ment ►nd sentenced to six years' penal servitude, with an intimati,m that the court would recommend that he should be sent to Parkhurst Prison. THIRD COURT. (Ware the Common Serjeaot.) . . Yaltalerrell, 47, was indicted for that he, being trustee oil a certain property—to wit, 106 shares in the London and Westminster Bank, value 4,000 f. —for the benefit of Ann Bruce, did unlawfully convert and appropriate them to his own use, with intent to defraud ; and another indictment charged him with unlawfully eon. verting and appropriating to his own use certain stock in the London, llrighton, and South Coast Railway, valued at 210/ ; , of which he was trustee. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Sleigh), said that, although the prisoner had pleaded not guilty to both indictments, be desired to withdraw see of those pleas, and plead guilty to that indictment which charged him with having unlawfully appropriated the stock of the Loudon, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. The prosecution, which was under the Trustees Act, had some peculiar cir cumstances connected with it, and those who prosecuted had no desire to press hardly upon the prisoner, and what he had to ask was, that the court would allow the prisoner to go out upon bail, to appear the ant day of next session, to aarwerthe other indictment. He (the learned counsel) would then be pre • to call numerous gentlemen, to whom the prisoner had been known for years, anti who would speak to the • b character he had borne up to the present time. Metcalfe said he had no objection, and the court directed the prisoner to be admitted to bail, himself in 2,0001., one surety in 1,000/., and two in WO/. Ifiatrd, a gentlemanly-looking man, surrendered to • take his trial forperjury. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. T. H. Lewis prosecuted ; and Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Thompson Chitty defended. The case arose oat at some proceedings taken by the de fendant against • Mr. Charles in the Marylebone county court. The defendant bad contracted to put up some blinds for the front of the shop of Mr. Charles, who at the finis was in business se • fishmonger in Queen's-terrace, St. Join's-wood. The blinds were made to the spode' order of Mr. Charles, but blew down twice, and were then sent back to defendant, who not being paid, brought his action against Mr. Charles for the amount, about 11/. Defendant then swore that the blinds were sent home complete with pulleys and ropes, and the court gave to the defendant the amount which he claimed. He then left. Mr. Charles positively insisted that the ropes and pulleys bad not been sent, and that the present defendant knew it. This was the perjury assigned, and witnesses were called upon both sides, and the jury, after patiently investigating the case, A• pitted the defendant, adding that it ought never tv have been brought there.

I told her she must distinctly understand that I lent the money solely on the faith of her declaration that elle was a widow, and if she were not so, she might get into trouble. She received some money on account then, I think it was ISI. ; and I told her she should have some more when she brought the probate of her husbend'a She frequently called alter and received small sums of money, till finding that she did not reduce the probate, I told her 1 could not think of letting her have any more until she made a solemn deck ration that she was not married. I told her that in the pre sence of all my clerks, and I sent one of my clerks with her to a commissioner, before whom she made the declaration, and it was brought back to me. Upon that I gave her some more money, I think it was 25., to get a Sunday dinner with. Since then I have received information that she is a mar ried woman, and if she as remanded, I have no doubt I shall be able to prove the fact. Cross-examined—l have issued writs against Mr. Ilungste and Mr. Aldis. lam not a money lender. The prisoner said there was no ground for the charge, as she had been a widow for five yews. The Lord Mayor said there wee no proof before the court of her being a married woman, but he should remand her on her own recognisance to appear again. John C. &cock, of Walworth, cooper, • man about forty years old, known in his locality as a follower of Johanna Southoote, was charged before the Lord Mayor with being disorderly, and pulling down a sheet ices chimney, in the ehurch of fit. James, Duds-place; and also with &unities Vale, beadle of the mid church. Vale said—List night, about nine o'clock, after the ser vice was over, the prisoner was in the church, shouting out and making • disturbance, which collected a great con course of people. The miner went to him and requested him to withdraw, telling him that as the service was over he had no right there, and that he could not be per mitted to make a disturbance. The !wiener refund to leave the church, and in the most excited manner shouted out that he had been sent with a menses from Heaven to the Lord Mayor, the corporation, and the citizens of London, that the Lord would destroy the Cl* in five years. The rector again expostulated with him, but be only shouted the loader, and when the rector ordered me to remove him, and I proceeded to do so, he assaulted me violently, and, imbibing hold of an iron chimney that was in our way, he pulled it down in resisting me. We had the greatest trouble in removing him from the cchurch,lL and ultimately 1 pi ve him into custody. It will to repair the &name he did The Lord Mayor—Wes b intoxicated! Witesse—Oh no, my lord, he was quite sober. The Lind Mayor—Well, what have you to say to this charge prisoner Pruner—flay, why that I am an ill-used man. The Lord Mayor—How can you complain of that, after behaving so in a church? Prisoner—l am • believer in a God. I believe in a Gad of mercy—a Cod of judgments —a God of visitations--end a God who never sends His judgment. on the earth without first sending warnings to the nations , and—(era si ng his voice to the pitch of frenzy, while he shook his wavy locks, and upheaved his bands m a maniacal manner)—l am sent with a great message, to say to the City, " Mese, Mene, Tekel, CO:wain ; thou art weighed in the balance, and—" The Lord Mayor—Well, that will do. You must make compensation for the damage you have done. Primmer—Damage ! I think they ought to compensate me, for I went there with a great message of mercy lo! they clutched me by the sonar, and tore the beard from Wchin, eves as they reviled and spat upon One of old! that Christianity? Wes that the way to receive • tonsege from the Most Imo? Lo! again I tell you I have got a memage from heaven. The Lord Mayor—Stay ! No more of that. The damage is estimated highly, but I shall order you to pay 20a., or go to *son for seven days. Prisoner (with a knowing leer and an entire change of tone)—Won't it do, your worship, if I send a man to re pair the damage and settle the matter with him? The Lord Mayor—You must pay 205., sir, or go to pri son for seven day.. Prisoner (in the same wild accents as before)—So, then, again I tell you I have a message from heaven. The Lord Mayor—Remove him, officer. Three officers took him by the collar and endeavoured to lead him down stairs, but The prisoner clutched the railing of the dock with both hands, and held hie ground deepite their e ff orts to dislodge him until He had delivered his " message," which he did as follows :—"Lo, listen and hear ! I tell you, I come charged with a menage from Him who always sends His before He sends his judgments ; and now the world is warnings told by my voice, and by the voice of Johanna, and by the yoke of God, that the Lord is about to shake the earth to its foundations with His terrible judgments. My voice has said it, and the voice of Johanna, and the voice of God ; and it will be done. So ye are warned ! " He then walked down stairs, but there he resumed his ravings, until his mother, who was in court, paid the money, and he was discharged. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOIIIIE. Lacy Rat/lifffir, aged 35, of 20, Cowper-street, City-road, war charged with fraudulently obtaining 271. wider the fol lowing circumstances. Mr. Frederick Kent, of it, Queen-street, Cheepside, solicitor, rid—The prisoner MIA introduced to me by the Rev. R. Mills, who in her presence asked me to drionst a bill of exchange for 371., dated the 10th of November, 1850, en d down by P. F. limpte upon and accepted r . Charles Ccx, of Bakerstreet, L 1.1-sytrsu, mile. I cannot may which gave me the bill, but I received it in the prisoner's presence, end it is endorsed both by her and the Rev. It. Aldia The F ierier said she did not want all the money at onoe, but merely a part. I objected to letting her have any mosey at all at Ent, saying, "1 didn't like to deal with ladies in Inch matters, because sometimes they turn out to be wearied women." I then asked her if .lie yam married, and she said no, she was a widow ; and she offered to bring me the probate of the will of her husband, who she said was a tallow molter, and had been accidentally BOW-STREET. A young man named Wittiest Jeickaon was charged with assaulting William Berle, a youth of about eighteen years of age. The complainant deposed—This afternoon I was coming up Holborn with a friend, when I happened to touch a woman's dress with • piece of chalk— Mr. Barisal (the Chief Clerk)— Happened ? Did you do it on Witness--No—well, yea. I certainly did it on purpose. Ka and my friend were larking. Mr. Hall—Then you did very wrong. Witness—Yes, I own it was wrong. Mr. Hall—How old are you ? Witness—Eighteen. Mr. Hall—Then you are old enough to know better. The witness continued—After 1 marked the woman's mantle the prisoner came up to me and asked what I did that for. He was not with the lady. I told him to mind his own business. He said, "Come round into the next street, and I will show you.' I went with him to the next street, and he struck me a violent blow in the face. I followed him till I saw • policeman, to whom I gave him in custody. [The witness's We was much discoloured.] His evidence was confirmed by his friend. Defendant denied having struck complainant, and called • witness, who, however, confirmed the complainant's state ment. Mr. Hall severely lectured the complainant on the impro priety of his conduct, upon which the complainant to cry, rubbing his uninjured eye vigorously with knuckles. His worship went on to say that even the com et's conduct did not justify defendant in striking him. The latter. moreover, had made the matter worse by telling an untruth about it. He must pay 306. or be imprisoned for eight days. The fine was paid. FATAL AOCIDIITT. —A fatal accident, attended with some rather singular circumstances, took place on Tuesday last at the Alcoa Drawing-dock, Bankaide, South- wark. It 'appeared that on the afternoon et that day • carter in the employ of Mr. Chainberlayne, • carman, was seat to the dock to take • load of bricks from • barge that was lying at the dock. He had • cart and one horse, and it wowed that, it being nearly low water at the time he arrhed, he drove into the water close to the large, and was about to commence loading. It appears that at this *pot there is a very sudden fall in the shore, and whether the horse had reached forward to drink, or from some other cause, he stumbled forward into deep water. The carter, who was in the cart, and had the reins in hie hand, was seen to make a strong effort to pull the horse up, but did not succeed, and in an instant horse, cart, and man sunk in deep water, the nod. dent being witnessed by a number of persons who were close to the spot. An alarm was, of come, immediately given, and drags were procured, which were used at once, but strange to say, no trace of either cart, horse, or harness, or the unfortunate driver, was discoirered, and although the search has been continued ever since, it has been with the same result. The cart was a heavy vehicle, such as is usually employed for carrying bricks, and it is -conjectured that the driver had, while struggling in the water upon his first becoming immersed, got entangled with the reins in the harness, and that the whole mass went to the bottom, and persons acquainted with such matters have ex. pressed an opinion that by the action of the tide it has been carried probably to • considerable distance down the river. A few years ago, it appears, • barge was sunk at Waterloo-bridge, and it was never seen again until it was found floating at Erith, a distance of %I miles from the scene of the original accident, no trace of it being seen at either of the bndges through which it must have Boated, or in the Pool ; and it is conjectured that a similar result may take place in the present instance. A Smoot-La EACAPL—A few evenings ago Mr. Tagg, of Dirtlow Farm, near Ashford, was going home about nine o'clock, and when on the hill side known as the Harrock, he saw what he supposed to be an earth slip, as though some old wine shaft had run in ; but as the night was dark he was unable to examine it. Having • rope in his hand he threw one end into the supposed chasm to ascertain if he were correct, and after satis fying himself he proceeded homewards. The circum stance haunted him all night, and as soon as daylight appeared he returned to the spot to examine it more minutely ; he now heard some one in a low f ee bl e voice ask for help, and on inquiring who it was, was answered, " Oeorge Keeling ; and I have been here since nine o'clock yesterday morning." Mr. Tagg at once pro cured the assistance of Messrs. T. Platte, R. Wilma, O. Bagul . 7, and others, who placed a large pole across the declivity, and let down a cart rope over the centre to which the poor man attached himself, and i n a b ou t half-an-hour was drown to the surface comparatively uninjured, save from the cold and the cramp, owing to the peculiar position he was in. He had fallen 16 yards and then lodged on a ledge in the shaft, and suppmted himself in this perilous position ing his bands alternately on the opposite side of the lag ac The debris had all sunk below him to an unknown distance, and his serape may be considered quitemirsculons. —Derby Mercury. Tea VOLCNTIER MOVILICENT AT LIVERPOOL. -- At the meeting of the Mersey Dock and Harbour Beard yes terday it was decided to apportion a piece of land at the ex tremity of the southern docks for the purpose of ride prac tice.

SlJOAlL—Banrroc, fir= b —The market has been ewsedingly dull this week, and closes for the Easter recess with • decclining tendency. The transactions on the spot are unimportant, and for arrival only one cargo has been of, vis.,l,2ooboxes Havanna), No. 12, at 28s. ty mmid inrured. to produce sells slowly, and late rates are with difilealty supported. Rum has been mom inquired for, and several transactions are reported in Demenua, chiefly at 2a. per proof gallon. CCYTTON. —unman, APRIL s.—The demand continued 00 a moderate wale from the close of last week up to Tues day, and holders supplied the market very freely as before. Yesterday there was more demand, and 10,000 bales were sold-3,000 to exporters and speculators, but without im provement. On the whole, prices of American are rather lower than on Friday last, and the ordinary qualities were difficult to move off, and must irregularly offered. There is no change of moment in Brasil, and the sales have been limited. Egyptian has been gradually declining during the pest fortnight, most descriptions havuig given way Id. per lb. The sales of Surat have been to a fair extent, but buyers continue to obtain the advantage, especially in all the lower qualities, Speculators have taken 1,140 American ; and there are reported for export 3,690 American and 3,960 Surat. The market to-day opens with a pretty good de mand, and the Wee will probably reach 7,000 Wee-2,000 for export and an speculation. carrot; 000D8.—ILINCHEIMICR,Arnn.15.—The regular market day falling on good Friday there was come attempt to substitute to-day for it, but the attendance was extremely thin, and inasmuch as the Bombay and Calcutta letters were not yet to band, and were expected this evening, there was a general disposition to postpone operations. The tone of themarket was quite as good as that on Tuesday, and the prices of both yarns and cloths were well maintained, not. withstanding the absence of bushman. WOOL AND WORSTED. —ThiAbromo, Arm 5. There ix little doing in wool ; the transactions are chiefly for immediate and pressing wants. Prices remain very firm. Stock. are very light. There is an average business doing in nou, and shorts, and prices rule very steady. Both spinners and manufacturers are well employed to order on old contracts, but there is nothing new coming in. Both are doing a trade which is not remunerative. There is little or nothing doing for export. Prices are too high for specu lative purchases to be made. There is a steady business doing for the home trade, but the high rates prevailing for the raw material tend to check operations, rendering the trade unprofitable, as it does. CORN.—Briuttimaan, Aram 5.--Gloucester market, on the 31st, ruled dull for wheat, bat an advance of ls. per quarter was obtained on some des cri ptions. At Worcester, the same day, the little wheat which changed hands realised rates. Barley higher, but in very limited request. t. tending upwards. Beans and peas unaltered. Levi"' the present week scarcely a transaction in wheat is re k ., as holders will submit to no reduction. Barley only Inds buyers in retail. Oats and beans the turn dearer. Peas realise quite as much money. At Wolverhampton yeeter• day there was a leas supply of wheat, and the value of all descriptions was nominally the same as before. At this day's market there was a large supply of English wheat, and to have effected sales some reduction must have been submitted to; most of it went back unsold, as holders were generally firm, and we make no alteration in oar quotations. Barley and cede rather higher, but only taken in retail. Beans firm, with an upward tendency. Peas unaltered. CHILIIMPORD, Aram 5. —There was s small attendance at market to-day, and demand less active than last week, still farmers preferred holding rather then bike lower rates. Wheat, red, 46e. to 50a.; white, 50a. to 54.. Beans rather dearer, and but few offering. Barley : Malt ing season being nearly over, persons buy with caution ; bat grinding descriptions are ls. dearer. MANCHIBTEM, Arm s.—There has been a quieter feel ing in the trade during the last few days, and business alto r more restricted, but without any alteration inpn as. • The imports into Liverpool both from abroad and from Ireland are exceedingly light this week. We had a thin attendance of buyers at this morning's market, and to effect sales of wheat and flour a concession in prices would have been ne:eseary. Holders were, however, very firm, and scarcely any business was done ; our quotations remaining nominally the same as last week. Oats and oatmeal met a steady demand at fully former rates. Beans and Indian corn were in moderate request, without alteration in value. NEWBURY, APIUL s.—We had a moderate supply of wheat, for which there was a slow sale, at prices in favour of the buyer. Barley very scarce and dear. Oats, beans, and peas dull. llisamoc, APRIL s.—At oar market to-day the supply is short and but thinly attended. Wheat sells at the prices of last week. Barley is in more demand and obtains Is. per qr. more money. WAILEFIRLD, APRIL s.—There were not so many buyers as usual owing to the change of day, but the wheat trade was steady, at last Friday's quotations. New red in good demand, but old dull of sale. In barley, beans, oats, and shelling, no change. Average of the week ending April 2. —Wheat, 5,015 qrs., at 48a. 110. ; barley, 460, at 41s. 101 d. ; beans, 184, at 425. id. EDINBURGH, APRIL 4.—We had in the market to-day 743 qn. wheat, 519 barley, 1,782 oats, and 168 beans. There were sold—Wheat, 584 qrs.; barley, 343 ; oats, 1,502 ; and beans, in qrs. As compared with IRA week—Wheat was same as last on top, and 10d. up on average. Barley was same as last on top, and Bd. up on average. Oats were 6d. down on top, and 841. up on average.

Sales again dull, and prices remain much the same. Top price et the beet blackfaced mutton, 9d. • surreal price, from Bd. to 80., and down to 70. per lb. 'At the close a clearance not effected.

BOMBAY COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bonita) , Tina and Standard.) SATURDAY EMNING, Mares 10. Our last advice, mentioned the intention of the Financial Minister to introduce a state paper currency into India, and since then the details of the scheme have reached us by telegraph. It will be sufficient here to mention that the present issue of notes from the three Presidency banks is to cease ; that notes issued from the district treasuries will be convertible on demand at those treasuries and at the pre sidencies ; and that each treasury is to retain equal to one third of its lines in cash, the other two-thirds remaining invested in government seonrities. The part which most interests the mercantile community is the question as it re lates to the presidency banks. Some compensation must be given them for taking away the privileges they enjoy by charter; and should it be done by a loan from government of state notes without interest to the extent of the present issues of their own, their position will remain virtually the same. This course would probably be much more beneficial to the public than putting the banks in the position of ex change establishments, the only other apparent method of placing within their reach mats equal to those of which they are to be deprived. Money continues in good demand, at the rates last ad vised, of 9 per cent. for advance on cash credits with Go vernment Securities, and 10 per cent. discount for three mouths' private raper. In the bazaar much scarcity pre. sails, tending greatly to limit the operations of dealers in irn tt " v t e L mment securities have been more quiet since our last, and the fluctuations inconsiderable. At present there is not much demand, and the closing prices are for fours, 84 for fi ves, 961 ; and for five-and-a-half per cent. paper, 102 i per cent. We have again to report great languor in the inquiry for cotton pisos goods, chiefly caused by the tightness of money in the Bazaar. It is said, however, that the Marwarriee may be expected to commence purchases now that the Hoole Saturnalia is at an end. The males of grey shirting, have been small, and the demand languid. White shirting, are light in stock, and in fair demand, but no better rates are offend, sail 64 to 60 reeds are rather lower. Of lappets considerable sales have been effected at fair prices. Dhoties are freely supplied, and in less inquiry. Turkey red goods of all kinds are very dull, and few parcels have changed hands. Twist is still exceedingly dell of sale, and hardly any transactions are reported. Woollens are in no inquiry. Of copper there have lately been few arrivals, and the market is looking upwards ; Sa, per cwt. more is offered for manufactured kinds. Few sales al iron have taken place. Lead is in good demand. Goals are still looking down, and the best steam qualities are only worth 27r. per ton. Saffron has declined from the late high price, and a sale has been made of 1001 b, at 27r. . . Coffee is in demand, but Mocha of good quality is scarce. Cotton has further declined, is consequence of the small demand, and there is a larger stock of old crop on hand than is usual at this season. Hemp is in rather better demand, in anticipation of local wants, ea the business season approaches. Linseed has slightly fallen, but few purchasers are in the market at the quotations. Today the dealers ask 3r. 14a. 4r. 12a. to sr. is the price of rape, w h i l e g i nge u y has fallen to 21r. to 22r., with little business doing in either. We have no change to report in the value of wool. Homeward freights have varied but little, the high figures now current tending lather to check business. It is expected that the requirements of government will shortly be satisfied, when an easier tone may be expected to prevail. Present rates are 31. 10s. for seeds to London and Liverpool, and N. 17e 6d. to U. 2e. 6d. for cotton. There is not much going for China, but the rates are higher, from 22r. to 23r, per candy. Exchange ham not materially varied, and the whole of the business ha. been done at or about lest rate,. We qn.,te 2.. 11d. to 2s. lid. for first clew, and 225. I id. fur docunient paper.

ATTENDANCE OF BARRIE/1M AT THE DERBY trdsrlot Szatuoirs.—Considerable surprise was caused on Tay, at the Derby Quarter Sessions, by the appearance in court, for the firrt time, of seven barristers of the Mid land Circuit, in their robes. One of them (Mr. Manson), addressing the Itieoordar, sail. " Sir, on the part of • num ber of the gentlemen of the by not only of those attend ing the Derbyshire Sessions, ba t of others practising upon the Midland Circuit, I beg to announce to you, sir, that it is their intention, under your sanction, to form a bar for attending not only the Crown Court, over which you pre ' side, but also the Court of Record for the trial of civil cases. Ido not apprehend that it is necessary for me, in applying for your sanction, to state any ground for such ap plication, inasmuch as this in the only county town upon the Midl and Circuit in which the court of the recorder is not attended by gentlemen of the bar ; but were any ground neoesrq I ought advert to the fact that her Majesty 's Privy Council has, by applying the rules of the Common Law Procedure Act to your Cant of Record, intimated an opinion that it should not be allowed to fall into desuetude." Mr. Flewker inquired whether it was intended to exclude the attorneys of the town from practising in the eourt. They thought that was an unfair attempt to take from them a privilege which they had exercised for a great cam ber of years. The Recorder said that he considered it very beneficial to the public that the advocacy should he a distinct pert of the legal profession, and public justice re quired it. Whether it was a proper thing for it to be done In this court he would not say. He would consult others on the matter, and give his decision next court day. —Derby Mercury. Two FED ALMS DROWNED IN THE AVON.—On Tuesday afternoon, a party consisting of three males and three females left Bristol in a boat, and proceeded up the Avon, intending to spend a pleasant evening in the country. About six o'clock the boat capsized, all being precipitated into the water, except one man ; and then commenced the desperate struggle for life. Four of the party were speedily rescued, and the bodies of two unfortunate females, Jooes and Westerlite, who resided in Alfred-street, were after wards recovered, but not until life was quite extinct. ACCOMMODATION FOR THE SALT TRADE AT BIRKSN RIAD. —At the meeting of the Mersey Dock Board yester day • • letter was read upon the necessity of providing suit abk accommodation for the salt trade at Birkenhead. The communication stated that it was in contemplation to con struct branch line of railway from Helsby to Birkenhead, so that salt might be brought from the pits by rail at a low rate, and thus escape the Weaver dues which are deemed both heavy and obnoxious.
