MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The accounts received from most of the manufac turing districts continue very satisfactory, although the advices from China and the East have caused rather less activity during the past week in goods suited to those markets. The woollen cloth trade, at Leeds, has been exceedingly brisk for the time of year, and a fair amount of business has been done in goods, both for the home and export de mand, the mills in the neighbourhood being in full work. Worsted yarns at Bradford have been in steady request, but there has not been quite so much activity in the piece goods department ; prices, however, remain steady. The demand for India goods at Manchester has been affected by the late advices from the East, and less buoyancy has been apparent in the general market ; no material change, however, could be recorded in rates. At Leicester the worsted hosiery trade has been ex ceedingly brisk in all its branches, large orders b e ing on hand, which it is difficult to execute owing to the shortness of stocks. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has continued moderately active, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton a steady business has been done in most branches of manufactures connected with the neighbourhood. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business was moderately active, and about 10,000 bales were sold at previous rates. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were un altered. Increased activity was reported in the discount market last week, and the rates of accommodation indicated an upward tendency, although the actual movement was unimportant, first-class bills being freely negotiated at, the Bank minimum of 21 per cent. A large amount of commercial paper will arrive at maturity to-morrow, the 4th of the month; the preparations for these engagements and the usual expenditure at the close of the quarter fully account for the stimulated inquiry for money, but as the demands thus created are merely of a temporary character, the market may speedily relapse into the easy and quiet position lately reportea. The amount of specie exported by the Ceylon for the East is £123,004, which is smaller than was anticipated, owing to the absence of remittances on Government account. The following are the parti culars, viz.:—£2,62o, sovereigns, to Ceylon ; £BOO, ditto, Madras ; £15,447, gold, to Calcutta ; £5,340, dollars, to Penang ; £13,450, ditto, Singapore; £75,582, silver, Hong Kong ; £7,065, dollars, Shanghai ; and £2,700 in doubloons to Manilla. Of the total amount £104,137 is in silver. Gold is still flowing into the Bank of England, £32,000 having been received there on Saturday. It is pre. bable that the next return will show a further aug mentation in the metallic reserves. Moderate quantities:of specie continue to arrive from America, the Europa having been announced this morning with £90,200. During the early part of the day the market for English Securities presented a buoyant appearance, and business took place at a rise of o per cent. The improvement, however, was merely momentary, a reaction having been produced by some speculative sales. Consols at one time touched 95i buyers, but they have since relapsed to 951 a for money and account. Indian Loan has slightly advanced, viz., to 101 and 101 k. Indian Debentures, 1859, have been 95,1, and Exchequer Bills, 235. to 265. prem. The foreign market is also a shade flatter. Turk ish 6 per Cents. are 83f, 84-1 ; the New ditto 69, 70► and the 4 per Cent. Guaranteed, 1021. Russian 44 per Cents, have been dealt in at 9911, and the Scrip at 4 discount. In Venezuelan, Peruvian, Chilian, and Buenos Ayres Bonds a few transactions have been recorded, but they have produced very little effect upon values. Grenada New Active are 18, and the Deferred si. Mexisan stoek is rather flat at 23}:. Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and prices, in some instances, have shown an improved movement. Bristol and Exeter, Caledonian and Great Western, and South Eastern, have improved 55., and South Western, 10e. Edinburgh_ and Glasgow declined about 10s. The Foreign and Colonial:undertakings have also been in fair demand and at advanced values in several instances. Paris and Lyons have improved to 361 1, and Sambre and Meuse to 61 1. Per nambuco are 101, and Great Luxembourg 71. East Indian have advanced to 1001 ; Great Indian Peninsular to 971; Grand Trunk of Canada to 38 and 381 ; and Great Western of Canada to 141 y. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares re main steady at about previous quotations. Canada Land improved to 114 and Van Dieman's Land to 15. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT OITE O'CLOCK. 31per Cent.

It appears that at the above hoer a party of men and a number of un fortunate females were turned out of the public-houses in the neighbourhood, and shortly afterwards they commenced fighting in the street. The noise attracted the attention of the police, and on the officers going to the spot nearly the whole of the men and women ran away, and they found lying on the pavement an unfortunate young man named Dutton. On lifting him up it was found that he had been mortally stabbed in the groin, and before medical aid could be obtained he expired, and was removed to the Bell Inn. A few yards from the spot where the unfortu nate man was found, the police discovered a female lying in the road with her throat dreadfully cut. She was at once taken to the General Hospital, where her recovery is considered doubtful. The whole affair is involved in mys tery, and the police have as yet obtained no clue to the perpetrators of these outrages. Dutton worked at Messrs. Heaton's coin and tube works in Bath• street, and lived with a widowed mother in Belmont .row. The deceased and a companion named Blick had been drinking at various public-houses, and on leaving the Star vaults in Dale-end, he mat his end in the above tragical manner. JOHN DAY'S VISIT TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. —The connection between him and the old Duke was never weakened on the Duke's side, and but for one instant in John's ; and we ll it might, when his Grace thus broke on his astonished ears, after a race, with "Y our ' e a thief, John Day ; you' re a thief I" "My Lord, what have I done to displease you ?" ' " You stole that race !" John's thefts after this fashion were perpetual, and, in fact, he was, per hAaspsthe never quite so grea t as i n t h e co l ours of Whittlebury. blind man said, when, after groping among the many colours, he at la s t f e lt scarlet, " It stirs my bl oo d like a trumpet." On all occasio ns he was a very dashing better, and On he was considerably astonished in consequence, and never more so than when he got on Coronation, and found three minutes after, when every eye was on hi m in his canter, and he dare not dodge, that he ought to have laid £5OO to £2OO on his horse precisely the other way. John's aversion to the name of Ireland is on a p ar t o th at i n which he holds Gaper, and arises from the firm impression he has of the great amount of man-shooting which goes on there. His great story, about the difference between "paying po and receiving," is very characteristic, andints a fine moral ; and perhaps a better judge of racin g a n d o f two year-olds especially, on whom he is not so h ar d as h e metr o poli s , was once was, does not exist anywhere.by the etr o The day h e was, perhaps, seen most in his glory when, after calling at Carlton -terrace , he .I?roceeded through the Hall of William Rufus, wi t h his white cravat and his immortal umbrella, in search of the Premi er , i n the Commons.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat. Most kinds sold slowly, at about stationary prices. Fine barley was scarce, and in request, at extreme rates. Most other produce was dull. Throughout the continent there has been no important movement in the grain markets. In tne United States both wheat and flour have sold on easier terms. Only moderate supplies of English grain were received here last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 4,880 qrs. of wheat, 4,733 barley, 16,686 oats, 1,376 beans, 1,580 peas, 3,667 linseed, 7,325 rapeseed, 1,100 maize, 335 sundry seeds, 163 sacks and 501 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up, to-dLy, coast wise and by land-carriage, were on a very moderate scale, and the bulk of the supply was in poor condition. The at tendance of both town and country millers was limited, and all kinds of wheat of home produce met a slow inquiry, at prices about equal to Monday last. Although millers generally hold small stocks of English wheat, no disposi tion was shown to purchase beyond immediate wants. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer. For even the finest qualities there was very little in quiry; but, compared with Monday last, no change took hlace in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full prices. Fine malting barley was scarce, and in request, at fully late currencies; but grinding and distilling sorts were a dull inquiry, at late rates. We had a moderate demand for malt, at last week's quotations. Oats were in moderate supply and steady request, at an improvement in value of 6d per quarter. There was only a limited inquiry for beans, at the late decline in value. White peas sold readily, at extreme rates; but grey and maple qualities were a slow inquiry. The flour trade was far from active, at last week's quota tions. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

In the demand for most breeds, the condition of which ex hibited some improvement, there was more activity at prices fully equal to last week. The best Scots and crosses sold readily at 4s 8d per 81bs, and a clearance was effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 2,000 short-horns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 650 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 50 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 350 oxen and heifers. We were moderately supplied with most descriptions of sheep. There was a decided improvement in the demand for all kinds, and prices advanced 2d per 81bs. The best old Downs and half-breds realised 5s 2d per 81bs. Notwithstanding that the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade ruled heavy at last week's prices. The top quotation was 4s 8d per 81bs. Prime small pigs were in fair request at full currencies. Otherwise, the pork trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.

This bankrupt was described as of Oxford -street, surgeon dentist, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. The preliminary statement by Messrs. Rutty and Williams shows debts, £4OO ; liabilities, £2OO. The assets are uncertain, principally depending on outstanding debts. IN RE SEAGRR. This bankrupt carried on business as a builder at Black heath, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, but an adjournment was taken, Messrs. Butler and Canning. not having been able to complete the accounts. IN RE ♦LLEN. This bankrupt, who was a stockbroker, &c., at Wands worth, was brought from Newgate, where he is under sentence of penal servitude for numerous and extensive frauds, in order to pass his last examination. Messrs. Paul and Turner have been very closely engaged with the bankrupt in preparing the accounts, but they are of such a complicated character, through the fraudulent transactions, that they have not yet been completed, and an adjournment was taken for two months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—<C RINGING TIME CHANGES."—Jane Williams, a respectably-dressed female, of short stature, was charged before Mr. Beadon, as follows : Wm. Mickelborough, 307 A, said that about two on Sa turday afternoon he took the prisoner into custody for being drunk in Pall-Mall, and on the way to the station he tliok from her a counterfeit half-sovereign, and on arriving at the station, and informing the inspeotor of what he had done, he .ordered her to be searched by the female seareher, and on being taken to the cell for that purpose she put her hand to her mouth, and there was every reason to believe that she swallowed two other bad half-sovereigns, as on in quiring afterwards he found that she had made two or three other attempts. She had also given a false address. Ann Fox, barmaid at the Golden Lion, King-street, St. James's- square, said that on Saturday the prisoner came in and asked for 3d. worth of brandy, putting down a good sovereign. She gave her change, 19s. 9d., and directly after the prisoner said, " Oh, I've found a 6d., will you give me back the sovereign ;" but on looking at the change and seeing that the half-sovereign had been changed, she told her to keep the change she had got, and that she should not have the sovereign back. . The prisoner, who is believed to be a practised hand at "ringing the changes," and who questioned the witness Fox in a very shrewd manner, was then remanded. THAMES. FRIGHTFUL CASE OP CUTTING AND WOUNDING.— Herman Meyer, a German sugar baker, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with cutting and wounding an English man named Robert Smith, whose head and face were en veloped in surgical bandages. He was in a very weakly condition from loss of blood, and in a state of great suffering. The prosecutor stated that he was lately steward of the ship Goldfinder, which had recently sailed from Liver pool. He was at present staying in the Sailors' Home, Well-street. On Saurday night, about 12 o'clock, he was passing along Leman-street, Whitechapel, and met with a number of Germans. Each of them had a female hanging on to his arm. He was rudely pushed against the wall by some of the Germans. He asked the reason of this treat ment, and came into collision with several of the foreigners, and was knocked down by one of them. A regular fight took place, and he was cut with the knife across the fore head. It was a long and deep cut, and he lost a large quantity of blood and fainted away. His coat was also cut in several places. John Maybank, a young man, stated that he saw 10 or 12 Germans and 4or 5 Englishman quarrelling. A Ger man, either the prisoner or another one, struck the prosecu tor and knocked him down. The prisoner fell upon Smith and made a thrust at him. The prosecutor called out " I am wounded," and fainted away. After the prisoner got up, he found a clasp knife on the spot which he had just left. The prisoner here said, through the medium of Mr. Duters, an interpreter, that he was knocked down and that four men were on the top of him. Maybank.—There were no others on the ground except . the prisoner and the prosecutor. John O'Neale said, the prisoner was the only man along side of the prosecutor, when he was knocked down, and the prisoner fell upon him. Samuel Egerton, a police constable, No. 11 H, said there was blood on the prisoner's hand when he took him into custody. He then produced a knife stained with blood. There was no identification of the knife. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said the prisoner was in nocent, and called a German who stated that one of 'the Englishmen struck one of his (witness's) countrymen on the mouth, and a regular fight took place. There were several on the ground at once. The prisoner had no knife, and never used one except a table knife at home. Mr. Selfo—Whose knife is this (holding up one) ? Witness—l do not know. Mr. Selfe said the evidence was of too doubtful a charac ter to justify him in cou.mitting the prisoner for trial for cutting and wounding; and besides, there was no identity of the knife. An assault had been committed by the pri soner by striking the prosecutor with his fist, and for that he fined the prisoner 408. The fine was paid. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE LIBERAL CAUSE IN EAST SUFFOLK.—Not withstanding the defeat of their candidate at the late general election, the Liberals of East Suffolk are paying the closest attention to the registration, with a view to a future con test. In the Beccles district they have succeeded in estab lishing 91 new claims, while the Conservatives only put 25 new votes on the register. In the Gorleston and South town district, the Liberals also assert that the present re • vision has increased their strength by 55 votes. It is expected that Colonel Adair, the unsuccessful Liberal can didate in May last, will again offer himself when an oppor tunity presents itself for his doing so. 'DARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

By the arrival at Southampton of the Pera steamer we have received some interesting intelli gence from Morocco by way of Gibraltar. Two sailing vessels arrived at Gibraltar on the 19th ult. from Mazagan, one of which, the Frederico, left that port on the evening of the 16th. Between the two they had 22 British and 71 foreign sub jects as passengers, who had left on account of the Kabyles of Ducala having come down and made an attack on the town. It appears that the moment her Majesty's steamer Vulture was observed to be out of sight on her return to Gibraltar, the Kabyles had already attacked Az inaor, a fortified seaport town, eight miles northeast of Mazagan, were de termined to fall on the latter town. Heavy firing was distinctly heard while the steamer was in port. A message was received from the Governor of Azamor, stating that hordes of mountaineers were then attacking that place, and that it was their intention to come down that afternoon and do the same at Mazagan, so he ad vised the people to be prepared. True enough, down they came on differen t points. The guns (seven in all), which had been brought to bear on this land side, were manned, and, assisted by all the armed Moors and several Europeans, defended the town against the Bedo u i ns , w h o seeme d b ent upon entering. Towards evening a cry arose which caused the panic to become greater. "No more powder in the hands of the defenders !" were the awful words heard in every direction. This was sufficient. After a short consultation the greater part of the Europeans determined to embark, which they did, abandoning all that they possessed, on board the Portugu e se schooner Frederico, Cap tain Soares, who set sail immediately after. When the Frederico left, the Kabyles had not succeeded in entering the town; but it was expected they would do so shortly, as they evinced great deter mination. In the attack these marauders are re ported to have lost but 30 killed; it is supposed on account of the bad management by the Moors of the town, who are not skilled in gunnery. The Kabyles retired towards dark. but it was fully ex pected that the moment it became known to them that the besieged were without ammunition, which they would very soon, as they had spies every where, these hordes would carry their point. The British Vice-Consul and four other residents be longing to Gibraltar remained behind. There were in the harbour the British schooner Clemen tina and the Portuguese schooner Amalia, in which they could take refuge should these barbz rians succeed in penetrating into the town. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 20th publishes the following letter from its correspondent : " Tangier, Sept. 19, 10 a.m. " I hasten to address you the present letter, in order to rectify an involuntary error in the account inserted in the Chronicle of the 15th, to the effect that all the European, Consuls' gardens in the vinci nity of this city had been destroyed by fire. I can positively assure you that none of them suffered the least damage, and more particularly that of the British Charge d'Affaires, whose property, I am firmly persuaded, would, under whatever circum stances, always be respected ; for you cannot form an idea of the esteem and regard in which our worthy Plenipotentiary is held by the Moors of the country on account of his philanthropic acts towards them. It is quite certain that, on the morning of the 14th, the r umour was spread, and it was even posi tively stated, that a large portion of Mr. Drummond Hay's garden had been destroyed by fire ; but, as I always like to investigate things as far as lies in my power before taking up my pen, I have ascer tained beyond a doubt that the fire was limited to two or three insignificaz ! t gardens belonging to some Christian artisans. " The Portuguese men-of-war continue at anchor in this bay, but his Royal Highness the Infante Dom Luiz has not yet landed. Many are the rumours circulated here respecting his visit, but as I consider them exaggerated or unfounded, I ab stain from communicating the same to you. All I know is, that when his Royal Highness visited Gibraltar in the spring of 1858 it was his intention to come to this place and Tetuan, but it seems that, on account of some misunderstanding which took place at that time between Sidi Mahomed-El-Katib and Dom J. It. Calaco, the Portuguese Consul, re specting the reception which was to have been given to the Prince, his Royal Highness returned to Lis bon without calling at Tangier. It is believed that his Most Faithful Majesty's Government were little satisfied at the reception given on a former occa sion to Dorn Fernando on his visit to this place and Tetuan some time ago, and this is the reason assigned for the Infante not having landed; but I am sure that if he should land the same honours would be paid him as to any other Prince. After the arrival of the squadron, despatches were f orwar d e d to Sidi Mahomed-El-Katib, and it is probable that on the receipt of the answer the Infante Dom Luiz will ultimately come on shore." Her Majesty's steamer Redpole arrived at Gibral tar from Tangier on the afternoon of the 20th. When she left, the screw gunboat Quail and two Spanish war steamers were the only ships of war in the port, the Portuguese squadron having taken its de parture. The Duke of Oporto did not land. The squadron, it was said, would return to Lisbon. The Tangier correspondent of the Chronicle, in hi's let ter of the 21st, says : " The Portugnese squadron weighed anchor yes terday morning, and his Royal Highness the In fante Dom Luiz left without having set his foot on the soil of Morocco. It seems that Sidi Mohamed- El-Katib's answer had not satisfied the Prince, as the squadron started without losin g a single moment. The object of this visit was that the Portu guese Government, having been made acquainted with the intentions of that of Spain to occupy Tan gier, hastened to send this squadron, under the orders of the Duk e o f Op or t o , t o oppose t h e v i ews of Spain ; and, in case the Spaniards should insist in carrying that point, to take possession of it them selves by virtue of the rights which the Portuguese have on this city from ancient times, it formerly having belonged to them. I would never have com municated this piece of intelligence to you, as I considered it unfounded; but if I do so now it is becanse I have been positively informed that the object of the Prince's visit to Tangier has been pub lished in the official journals of Lisbon. " With respect to the Sultan nothing positive is known, as no correspondence whatever is received ; and the reports brought by the Moors from the i n terior are so contradictory that no reliance can be placed on them for, while some state that the Em peror had arrived at Rabat and that his army was daily increasing, others affirm that nobody knows where he is, and even deny his departure from Morocco. That the Sultan actually left that city with his army is quite correct ; and it seems the most probable that his procrastination among the Kabyles accounts for his non-arrival at Rabat as yet, and this is that which causes so much uneasi ness. " Nothing positive is known respecting the pend ing question with Spain. It is announced that Sidi Mohamed-El-Kati% has demanded from M. Blanco an armistice of three months, promising to give by that time the satisfaction required. The reasons assigned by his Excellency for such a de mand are, that it is impossible for the Sultan to turn his attention to this affair before the expira tion of that term, as his Sheriffian Majesty must first be consolidated as Emperor of Morrocco, King of Fez, and Prince of Tafilet, 8.7 e. M. Blanco has his Taleb, who writes for him the despatches in the Arabic language which he sends to Sidi Mo hamed-El-Katib, and this functionary answers in a direct manner, both preserving the greatest re serve. In consequence of this state of things, the country continues somewhat alarmed, and it will be so until official news of the arrival of the Sultan at Fez be received!' The Redpole again steamed across to Tangier, and returned to Gibraltar on the 22d. The Quail left that harbour on the night of the 21st for the coast as far as Mogador. Four Spanish war steamers were at anchor in the Bay of Tangier when the Redpole left. All seemed to be quiet . in that city and its neighbourhood. His Sheri ffi an Majesty had reached Rabat on his way to Mcqui nez. The Kabyles of Ducala had not renewed the attack on Mazagan since their attempt on the 16th, when nine were wounded, two mor t a ll y, i n the town. Tranquillity prevailed in that city on the 20th; but trade w as a t a s t an d st i ll. The Chronicle publishes the following letter, dated : " Tanier, S. 22. " Despatch es f rom the Govern g or of e pt Larache arrived yesterday, announcing to the Governor of this place that he had received official information of the Sultan's entry into Rabat on the 18th, amid the acclamations of the people. This intelligence has greatly gladdened us, as the most disagree able rumours were afloat. By the same convey ance we learn that, besides the army, the Sultan had 30 pieces of cannon, and that he has most severely chastised some Kabyle tribes which opposed his being proclaimed. " It is reported from Fez that the son of the former Emperor, Mulai Soliman, had endeavoured to raise the standard of rebellion in that city in order to get himself proclaimed Sultan ; but he was sadly disappointed in his attempt, as the General of the Black Guards, having discovered the conspi racy beforehand, secured and sent to prison 200 or 300 Moors who had raised their voices, and the Prince was obliged to fly for safety. " The rejoicing which the news of the Sultan's entry into Rabat created here soon vanished conse quent on the intelligence brought by the Redpole and Earl of Lonsdale from Gibraltar respecting the occurrences that took place at Mazagan. This in telligence caused great sensation and sorrow here, more particularly on account of the Europeans who have remained behind; bat there is a hope that they will avail themselves of the opportunity of embark ing on board a Spanish steamer which left this bay for Mazagan on Sunday, for the purpose of convey ing a new Spanish rice-consul there ; which steamer, it is probable, must have already returned to Alge ciras. "10 a.m.—The Spanish steamer has just re turned after a passage of 24 hours from Mazagan. She reports that, fortunately, the Kabyles did not renew their attacks since the evening of Friday, when they were repulsed. It is to be hoped that the Sultan is by this time acquainted with what has taken place, and that he will sea d 1,000 or 2,000 men to chastise the Moors of Ducala." EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN COUNTY COURT. The following extraordinary scene is reported to have taken place at the Bow County Court on Sa turday, arising out of a judgment summons in the case of " Sorrell v. Bishop," Serjeant Storks being the judge. The plaintiff was a clothier, in high-street, Bow, who had recovered £4 13s. 6d. for goods supplied to the defendant, an examiner in the West India Docks. Defendant did not appear. Mr. Dillon Webb, of Cary-street, for the plain tiff, asked for the commitment of the defendant to prison. The Judge—lt is an abominable system, this system of imprisonment for debt. I hold the system to be dishonourable ; and it is fast becoming a penal punishment. It is attaching a criminal punish ment to the non-performance of a civil contract. Imprisonment for debt is a great thing for the profit of the agent, who holds the liberty of the subject in one hand and asks for the money with the other. I have a great objection to sending a British sub ject to gaol. Th e l eg i s l a t ure h a d a l most abolished imprisonment for debt; but they are a cowardly legislature, a cowardly lot, and they have not done it. The bill was introduced hurly-burly in the house of parliament. Mr. Webb —Your Honour has already intimated that you will n o t comm it un l ess f rau d i s shown. I can show fraud in this ease. His Honour—l have laid down no rule. I say I am opposed to imprisonment for debt; it leads to no good whatever. Sir. Webb—Your Honour is simply a county court judge, and must administer the law as you find it. You cannot exercise legislative funetions. His Honour—That is an easy mode of logic. Mr. Webb—Until the question is decided by the legislature your honour is bound to commit in cer• tain cases. His Honour—That is begging the question. I believe, from the marginal note to the section of the act of parliament, that it was the intention of the legislature to do away with imprisonment for debt. It has been done away with in the superior courts, and why not be done away with in the petty courts of law ? After a very animated and somewhat personal discussion between the judge and the solicitor, the latter gentleman said—This defendant has the means of paying, but will not pay. The intention of the legislature will become inoperative if the plaintiff has not some remedy against his debtor. His Honour—lt will become inoperative as far as the exercise of the power of committing goes. In two or three cases I have already refused to commit, and you can go to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus. The plaintiff was then examined, and stated that the demand was for £4 13s. 6d. for clothes sup plied to defendant, who had a salary of £l3O a year. - Mr. Webb—As the law now stands you are bound to administer it. Defendant was erdered to pay this debt by instalments, and three times have judgment summonses been taken out, and when orders for commitment have been made the arrears have been paid up. His Honour—lmprisonment for debt is against the spirit of the age. You can go to the court above. I have a great responsibility thrown on me. Mr. Webb —The responsibility is thrown on you to commit this person to prison. He has means of payment, and you are bound to commit. His Honour—Then you can apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus, and I will make a special return to it. Mr. Yearlar, an officer of the court, proved that the defendant was in the habit of getting drunk nearly every night. Judge—What have I to do with his habits? The power to arrest ought' not to exist in the age we live in. If done away with, it would affect the business of this court. Mr. Webb—Yes, when people found they need not pay they would soon get into debt. (Laughter.) His Honour—The legislature have spoken with great authority on the subject. Am I to commit be cause the man is in the habit of getting drunk P (Laughter.) Mir. Webb—Your honour refused on the last court day to commit any person, and there are' to day 60 judgment summonses to be heard. His Honour—l will get rid of the 60 persons on the same principle at once if you like. I shall not commit. Mr. Webb—l should advise the tradesmen in this district to be careful in giving trust. His Honour —Let the creditors take care of themselves. Mr. Webb applied for the return of the hearing_ fees ; but his H onour sa id t h at was " rather sharp, " and refused to make any order. In another case the plaintiff said—lf your Hon our does not commit to prison, what is the utility of coming here ? His Honour—No utility at all. Ido not mean to send. people to prison any more. Plaintiff—What will become of my money ? His Honour—You will probably never have it. Plaintiff—Do you call that justice ? His Honovr—l have laid down a general prin ciple, and I am that principle. (Loud laughter.) The legislature has taken away the power of im prisoning for debt. In a third case his Honour again refused to com mit, and plaintiff exclaimed—How shall I get my money ? What shall Ido ? His Honour—Go without. (Laughter.) The gaoler is not going to have defendant's carcase. In no case was an order for commitment made. A Teheran letter says :—" The great news from the camp of Sultanieh is that the Ministry, before the troops were dispersed, addressed a formal pro test to the Russian Minister here, on the subject of the proceedings and communications of the com mandant of the steamboats stationed at Asterabad with certain chiefs of the Turcoman tribes. As you are aware, the Court of Teheran has never ceased to uphold its rights over the country inhabited by these hordes, which it considers as an integral por tion of the Persian empire. If the Russian com mandant, therefore, had any cause of complaint, he ought to have applied to the Governor-General of Asterabad, and not direct to the chiefs of the tribes." [ADVERTISEIIfENTI—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer, breeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ainggaintshteit • m alevolent shafts hurled m an an d y its d p r r a o w b b a a b e le ks iitilty t i he , the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agricultxral interest. Experience has proved, first, that it effects a con s id era bl e saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In thi s he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely 1: pen its efficacy, fancying be possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate thanby the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm • inasmuch as i a realised, and re n d ere d mar k eta bl e i n two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articles of food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonio and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other food, materially assists their digestive ; powers—a matter of great consequence, since it is an uMtoubted fact that the nourishment contained in their ordii iary food is lost, conse quent upon the impaired or defectiv e action of the digestive organs ; it will also be found to le particularly beneficial in restoring to good working eonfaition horses which have been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or ar. naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or manu factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Royalty, noblemen, and oth ern who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have iniiariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of com mendation have been awart e .
