Prices are exceedingly steady, and the stocks in the manufacturers' hands are below the average at this seasor There has also been more doinr , in the warclurases this week tJan for some time; many of the buyers are making their appearance In the market, and are purchasing cautiously for the spring degign4, HONEY and COMMERCIAL NE Vl':3. , • (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was, quiat. Sales 3,000 bales, all to the trade.—The Stock Exchattge,:it, appears, is in future to be ,re-opened on Saturdays, but the transactions recorded in the list • received thiS morning-are not. of importance.. _ • : The character of. the . private advices from the. United States by the Hiliernia steam-ship, is considered Very satis faaory. : By the bye a hie morning complaints were inathi in many quarters •at the non-delivery.of most of the letters brought by the steamer -.named. Up to twelve &chick scarcely a- firth part of. the merchants -of the City had their _ communications in- hand. Those letters we- have seen • are -full of,. hope that the Oregon question -Will-be settled, without an appeal to arms, the more so as on the other side of. the Atlantic brighter prospects had been opened as to...trade, should, as was, fervently hoped,- the measures of Sir_ Robert Peel be carried, into operation. With respect to . Canada, we regret to find that politieal.dis sensions between the French and British colonists were on the •• increase.' This is . the more to be re gretted as a handle might be made of it to induce the war party in America. to goad on! hostili ties with • Great Britain... The colonists, of Trench origin, complain that in the United Legislature they have nut had their fair share of patronage; and, further, that the laws passed since the provinces were joined have tended to their disadvantage . rather than otherwise. No doubt pre judice has . carried this party too far -in their feelings; . but cautious . men think that the wishes and wants of.the Lower Province have not been so consulted as might have been the case. The meeting that had been held at Montreal, relative to the striking of' a new boundary line was considered an absurd movement, except among those who for ulterior purposes were desirous of exciting a bad feeling between the United States, , and the British Government. It is satisfactory to find that public atten tion was directed in all the e ßritielt . North American. Colonies, to the subject; or promoting the extension of railways, which continued to excite a most lively interest. One of the largest meetings ever held in the colony took place at the City Hall at Quebec on the 14th January, in favour of the railway from Quebec to Halifax. The Gazette, upon this topic, terms the plan a • national one.. All the speakers were most unanimous in their opinion in favour of the project. A shade of variation has only taken place in the Consol Market to-day. The market may upon the whole be repre sented as firm. For the Account, Consols have fluctuated only from 96% to 96%, and for Money from 96% to 96%. The Three-per-Cents. Reduced have improved from 96% to 97 1 / x , but in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. a slight fall has taken - place from 98 3 % to 98%. Bank Stock has im proved from 97 1 / 2 to 98%, and Exchequer Bills, after laving been done at 405., have just gone back to 38s. premium. The price of India Stock has fallen from 260 to 259. Business was rather heavy in the Foreign Stock market this morning. There is a steady advance to be noted in the Peruvian Six per Cents., which have just realised 40. The Grenada Bonds have receded from 24% to 23%, and Russian to 112 1 4. The. value of Mexican is rather lower than it was last week, and also that of Venezuelan Two per Cents. The Share market has not been very animated to-day, and prices have varied, but a shade. , _ ONE BRITISH FUNDS. . O'CLOCK% (LosING . FRIO DS. Bank Stock .. 2073 208!', 20834 Three per Cent.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb.l6% . (Before Mr. Justke WICILTMAN.) EREACII OF PROMISE.—MAILY ELIZABETiI SMITH V. WAsttiNa- TON LORD FERRER% This case, which exciteo an extraordinary degree of inte rest. was resumed this morning. Mr: Smith, farmer, father of the .plaintiff, was the first witness examined this morning'. lie was examined by Mr. M. CHAMBERS—His ev i deeicecormborated the opening state ment of the Solicitor-General. He knew many of the letters addressed to his daughter to be in Lord Ferrers' hand writing. Mts. Smith examined .by Ronnesox—Witness .was mother of the plaintiff. Her daughter went to reside with her aunt at Tamworth when :;he was eight years of age, and returned to her home at iinstrev when fourteen. It was then Christmas-time. She remained at home one year, and then left for London, spending the vaoation in France. She again returned to Austrey in. the Midsummer of 1841. She recol lected Lord Ferrero, when Lord Tamwort h, being at Austrey. That was before her daughter .went to London. She knew then that some attentions :were being paid to her daughter, and it was partly is conseesence of these attentions that she was sent to „London. Hell*4 abroad, and when he returned he took an op - portapity-og„*ips tier, and she (the wittessi, we informed Of -it, Sheeiet - 4"•!qti. Ni). I • :at the bogina4r of - the - year 1844. The letter ITas shown by her daughter the day she received it. 3y the ATTORNEY -GENERAL-,.She did not see her re• ceive it. By Mr. ROBINSON—Her duigliter received the letter at the time, and she herself read it at night to Mr. Smith. She had also seen the other letters produced in Court after she had seen the first one. She had seen each of them about the time they bore date. She recollected a handkerchief being sent from her house to Lord Ferrets. There were two sent, but at different times. They were of the same pattern—ofsilk— with a small running border. The first was sent in February or March. It was before the receipt of letter No. 2 that the first letter was sent. The handkerchief was marked with the letter F. It was marked with Miss Smith's hair. She (witness) folded the handkCrchief in an envelope, with a letter. She did not recollect the contents of the letter, but was in the room when her daughter wrote it. The letter was signed, fcr she (wit ness) folded the letter herself, and could therefore observe that it was signed. It was then given to John Lees (an under tenant) to post. She sealed it, and it was directed to the Right Hon. Earl Ferrets, Chartley Castle, Staffordshire. She also folded the second handkerchief, which was marked in a similar manner. A your! , woman residing with them at the time marked the first handkerchief, and the sister of one of the servants marked the second. The latter was not so well marked as the first. Letter No. 3 was received after the receipt of the second handkerchief. She did not see the letter written with the second handkerchief until it was placed in the envelope. She saw the letter after it was written. It was also addressed to the Right Honourable the Earl Ferrets. She directed the envelope herself. This also was given to John Lees to be posted. Witness accompanied her daughter in April, 1844, to Staf fordshire. They were attended by a man-servant. They went for the purpose of meeting Lord Ferrers at Stafford; but they did not see him. They stayed all night at Stafford, e e r rr l ,y ied a ) nd her daughter They went to a place on the following clay.ca a n l d l e r d e t Ts ui e n e rr e se d e e c l f v o hs, ll e o rw i e v n ai g l tsi e n s i‘ o s sf i z n .4 g r.h . th o then wrote a letter to Lord Ferrers. 'Witness saw that letter, and read its contents. She then herself put it into the Tam worth post. It was directed as the others had been. Some time after an answer was received to that letter. She re ceived a letter from the Earl before he got hers. The letter received by her was No. 5. She received that letter a few days after her return from Stafford. .She recollected another letter written by her daughter, and given to Mrs. Perry, who posted it at Lichfield. She saw the letter, but did not read. it. That letter was also addressed to Earl Ferrers. Her daughter showed her letters No. 9 and B. The letter - B was addressed to Mr. Smith, and after he 'had read it she saw it. Her husband replied to it in two or three days. She thought the letter was received on a Tuesday and replied to on a Friday. Mr. Smith read the answer to her. Mr. Hol gate also saw it: Witness sealed it, and it was directed, "The Lord Ferrers, Chantley Castle." 'Witness was going to Ashby the following morning, and the letter was in the interval put into a drawer, that was generally kept locked in the bookcase. On the next morning Mr. and Mrs. Holgate, her daughter, and herself went to Ashby, and witness put the letter in the post. She recollected hearing at Ashby that Lord Fetters had married another lady. Before that time preparations had been made for Miss Smith's marriage with his Lordship, and everything was ready. Her daughter had been some time at school, and could write English gramma tically. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GRNERAL—The dresses were made by Mrs. Lees, of Appelby. The brides maids were her censins, Misses Smith. All these pre eparationeeeerefie;-MatWefithoutAareeersonal communication with Lord Ferrers. He lied signified his wishes that the prepa rations should go on in his letters. He mentioned his wish to marry her in May. Some of the dresses were not corn • pleted then, but they were in a state of forwardness. They were all to be completed in June or July. She might pro bably- have ordered the bridal dresses in June. Some of the cakes were received in June, and they might have been ordered in May. What had been ordered were not deemed sufficient by Lord Ferrers, aid more were ordered. Two had been ordered in the first place, and two others after. Part were made by Mrs. Goodman, at Ashby, and part at Leicester. Her daughter wrote a good letter, and understood French. She was rot generally fond of novel-reading: they lived in the country, and seldom saw one. She might have read one in one or two months, not more. Her father subscribed to a society. Her daughter was tall, neither very dark, or light with dark hair. Her daughter was be tween 14 and 15 when Lord Tamworth first paid her atten tions. When her daughter informed her, she did not inform Mr. Ashlehurst, his tutor. They were not on visiting terms with that gentleman. They heard of Lard Ferrers going abroad, and of his return some short time before the death of his grandfather. Soon after his return there was a ball at Tamworth. She went with her daughter to that ball. They dressed at the house of Mr. Neville, at Tamworth. Witness recollected going to Miss Neville's room, but could not say what she might have said about dressing her hair. She did not remember saying any thing about her daughter's intention to wear a single rose. She did go the ball with a single white rose in her hair. Lord Ferrers was not there. She (lid not know that her daughter expected him there. She might have expected him, but of that witness could not be positive. After that her daughter did inform her that she had at differ ent times received presents of dresses, jewellery, and books from Lord Ferrers. This might be in the beginning of 1343. She asked her daughter where she got the jewellery and dresses, and she informed her they were presents from Lord Ferrers. The books were sent. They were " The Queens of England ;" Miss Bremer's works; the Abbotsford edition of Scott's works, and others. They were sent from Mr. Thompson, of Tamworth, by Lord Ferrers orders. Some of the dresses were of silk. some of cachemere, muslin, and so on. Tie material only was sent. The jewellery consisted of brooches and rings. They did not know where these things came from, until they discovered that they were not paid for. They made this di sco very by the bills coming in. Th e d resses were h a d f rom Mr. S Thomson. She cou ld no t say w h o or d ere d t h em, but paidllly. Thomson. for them. They were paid for partly f rom froms a i l er e . ; the jewellery f r om Mi ss B a k er; an d th e b oo k s Mr. Smith's money, and partly from a 1001. borrowed from her grandfather. The whole amount might be 200/. Her daughter gave the bills of particulars to Earl Ferrers, who said he would pay for them, and the bills of amounts were sent to witness. Her daughter told her to borrow money from her papa or grandpana to pay for these presents. Letter A, from Lord Ferrers to Mr. Smith, was written in the spring of 1844. The letter expressed the Noble Lord's sorrow for having caused any regret to Mary (the plaintiff). Witness did not receive letters from Earl Ferrers, but she saw her once coming up the garden with one in her band. She did not, however, see Lord Ferrers give her daughter the letters. Her daughter showed her two le , ters received from Earl Ferrers's brother, after their return from Harrowgate in July 1844. They were received the week after. Witness did not see them received, as she happened to be out at the time. Amongst the articles mentioned as presents, there was a pink silk bonnet, sent on the 29th of June, 1844. That was after the time I was made aware that the other articles had not been paid for. All the bills had been paid at that time. My daughter did not say where the bon net came from. I understood that it was sent , by Lord Ferrers, from London. Aty daughter did not tell me about it until the bill came in on the following Christmas. I went to Ashby and paid for it. Probably I did make some inquiry about it, as 1 did not imagine it could be owing for. It was when the bonnet came that my daughter told me it was a present from Lord Ferrers. To the COURT—She told ins before the bonnet came that she expected a bonnet Creeli Lord Ferrers from London. To the A rr oromy-GEkF.niti ,— Mydaughter knew she had done wrong. She did not explain to one particularly about it. I showed her the bill, and spid, " How is this ?" and she made no reply. She did not say she had ordered the bonnet when I showed her the bill. She did deny having ordered it, or that It must be a mistake. She was conscious she had d one wrong, and sa id ver y little abou t it , thatidshe came the bill came I went wth Mr. H ammel, the att orney , to Ashby, My daughterhill and I went to Miss Wyman's. This was about I Ideeernoyed the bonnet came. from Ashby. Wh en h av ing ordered it ?—She did. Wh en t h e January, 1845; I said to Miss Wyman, u lou have sent me a bill Kr a bonnet that I knew nothin g of." Miss Wyman said Miss Smith load ordered it for h erse lf; my d aug hter instaatly denied she had ordered it; she said it must be a mistake, or " You m ust be mis taken in the " Alms Wyman probably said, " Miss Smith, if yon wo uld sa y th at , you would say anything." I do not rem ember m y dau g h ter saying, if she stood there for hours she wou ld den y it. I do not remember )hiss Wypean saying, "Oh, Miss Smith, I wonder you are not afraid of being atru,:k deaol, &l p 41a 7 h4Ve said it. believe I did not say in the presence of "Slim Wytnan, that " if my daughter would own to the bonnet I would forgive her." I said, "my dear, if you ordered the bonnet, say so." Fine 1(4)14 at me, but never said a word, and we walked out of the Shop. Aboiit - tliis time I said my daughter bad rO ceived a bonnet from a noble individual,'and that there was a note in the box. Miss Smith opened the box. I saw the note, but I do not know where it is now. It was a note pur- Porting . to hr cram itilrr. Deveren; Shirley. : t That nose was handed to Mr. Hammel, the attorney. • The ATTORNEY GENERAL asked for this letter, as it was produced on Saturday, but it could not be found for a consider able time, and a good deal ofconfusion followed. 'laving been at length produced, it wiv i 800 lq 11 1 0 winless, but she said it was not the cone that' came too Did your daughter explain bow that note came in the box ?—She did ; she said that Earl Ferrers told her he would send her a bonnet from London ; but he had found it incon venient to do so, but wished her to purchase eine at Ashby, andehe did so t as she had told her papa and mamma that ghe was* to have one 'Croon London ; but that she refused to do so unless Mr. Devereux Shirley would write a note Stating that it 494 cute from London. I believed then that it had come from tondit. Mr. Shirley gave Miss Smith the note to enclose in the box; this is what for eiitl i lliter told me, and that ,she got the note at Mhbz from Mr. Shirley; but in fact the note was not put into the box until it came into the house. No doubt my daughter put the note into the box merely to deceive me and her pepa. She Old me all this; at the inn, after I went •to pay ' for the bonnet. I cermet say it the bonnet is weii.l for ; but I believe it is. I went to Mies NtrioNn'e shortly after this, and I may have soul that I did not paelha door without saving how (wry I was that this had ec eetwei • I won't swear that I did not ask Miss Wyman's to say ren'hing about. this story until the trial was over; lint 1 said some words to that effect. Pro bable I might have said that I wished the Miss ti Wyman to understand how it was. I might have said to them that. Lord' Ferrers Was to hare sent my daughter a bonnet from London, but that he had not - done so, but had desired her les order one at the - shop, and that Mr. Shirley had told my daughter to order it. lam not sure of thie, but I might have said it. I don't recollect saying to the Miss Wymans OA my daughter was at her genii - gathers, and that her Ifather would not have her in the house. I ant certain I did not say that. Thelieve, the paper now handed me to be in my neughter's handwriting. The witness was handed a third paper, width she said was not very like her dam - Ater' s hand writing; . She was handed a fourth, which she said was her daughter's writing. Shegave thesame answer to a sth and 6th. She then continued :—There were two handkerchiefs sent in letters.. I sayi the beginning of one of these letters; it be gan with "Dearest Washington." This letter was posted at Tamworth, as my daughter told me that it was the Earl's Particular wish. that letters fur him should rot be posted at Appleby, Tice envelope now handed me contained the two handkerchiefs in question. There was a letter writtenebv Mr. Smith after the letter of Lord Ferrers of tte 24(1i of June; 1 - put • that letter in the office at Ashby myself. When I was at • Sias ' Court, there was 'a letter posted respecting the bills. This was before Mr. Smith's letter. - ai y daughter told me that Lord Ferrers eels visiting at the Dears. of Bangor and it was at a hotel •at linneter - we' -wet elte-4*r 'him — We stopped at St aflrrd, and as he did not meet us there, as my daughter said it was likely he would, we returned back, for I said I would not follow him. After we returned, my daughter wrote a letter from Sias Court to Lord Ferrers, which I read. I posted that letter at Tamworth. The letters my daughter got from the Earl she told me had been put into her hand by a man named Atkins and another named James. I have spoken in the course of examination of a Miss Neville. 1 do not recollect having shown her any of the letters pro duced in Court. I might have visited Mr. Neville in January, 1845, but Ido net recollect the precise date. The letters of Lord Ferrers were then talked about. I believe that Mies Neville then remarked that the writing was very like Miss Smith's, taut I do not remember having said that the family had often been surprised at the similarity between the writing of my daughter and the letters of Lord Ferrers. • I do not remember having said that the reason of the similarity arose from Miss Smith when young, having had some writing of Lord Ferrers in her possession which she had tried to imitate. Before sh e went to school I believe Lord • Ferrers sent her a great number of scraps, and pieces of poetry, but they wire de stroyed afterwards. I saw the piece's of writing myself. I do not recollect having ever said that Lord Ferrers had had my daughter's handwriting, and tried to imitate it. I might have said when at Miss Neville's that the similarity arose between the two handwritings from Miss Smith having when young letters of Lord Ferrers' in' her possession, and that she tried to imitate the writing, but I do not recollect it. I will not swear I never said so, but I havenorecollectionofit. I was mnch excited at the time, as Mr. Green, the attorney, said we were all to be put in Warwick gaol. We were ac cused of being forgers, and I was too excited to think of a trivial conversation. I say again, Ido not recollect the con versation. I am a truthful woman, andwish to speak nothing but what lam sure of. The familiy noticed in some eases a little similarity, but were not surprised at it. I might have remarked it to Mr. Smith, but do not recollect it. We noticed some slight similarity in the letters, but not in the style of writing; still we were satisfied the letters were of his Lordship's writing. I would much rather believe that Lord Ferrers had imitated my daughter's writing, than that my daughter had imitated that of Lord .Ferrers. We certainly were sur prised at the similarity between the hand-writings, but the only explanation we could give was that I have already given. To Mr. Justice WIGHT3IAN—The correspondence did not begin till 1844. I believe my daughter never wrote to Lord Ferrers while he was abroad. I cannot explain why it is that the letters of Lord Ferrers were similar to those of my daughter, seeing that my daughter had not written to him at that time. •The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that perhaps this would be the proper tine to make an application, which was to allow their witnesses to inspect the lettersprior to their being put into the box, so that they might the better give their evidence or; the subject. The witnesses on the side of the plaintiff had had every opportunity of examining the writing before being called ; and it was but right the witnesses on the other side should have the same opportunity. Mr. MONTAGU CHAMBERS objected to the application, as unusual. He could not acquiesce.. He was willing that the witnesses, when put into the box; should have the letters placed in their hands, and be allowed to say yes or no, as to their belief regarding the handwriting. At the suggestion of his Lordship, it was arranged that Counsel on each side should consult as to the course to be taken in this respect. His Lordship, however, thought the best course would be that the letters should he submitted beforehand to such witnesses as were to be called. That whatever parties were permitted to inspect the letters, should -berrt into the box and examined: — ' - • Reexamined—Mr. Neville is an attorney at Tamworth. There were only some slight resemblances in the characters of the writing, but the style and composition bore nu re semblance whatever. The first time 1 believe that my daughter wrote to Lord Ferrers was when she sent him a note after lie had got his hand hurt. Regarding the scraps and notes sent to my daughter when she was young, I am not aware that my daughter answered them, though she might have done so. The letter to which I have referred was posted at Derby, and was shortly after his Lordship returned from abroad. When the charge of forgery was made, we then de termined to commence the action, to vindicate our characters, as we were sure the letters were written by Lord Ferrers. The Learned Counsel then read another extract, to the effect that the defendant wrote to the plaintiff to prepare her trousseau; and that lie did not like the plaintiff's cousin. The re-examination was then resumed—When Earl Ferrers returned from abroad he did not resume his position as pupil, but he renewed his attentions, after an absence of two years. I believed him sincere in his attachment. This witness was not allowed to go down until four o'clock. John Lees was the next witness—He said I am a farmer, and have been a long time a neighbour of Mr. Smith. I have been in the habit ciposting letters for him. I posted one in the latter end of February, 1844, which Mrs. Smith gave me ; that letter was addressed to Earl Ferrars, Chartley Castle. Upon another occasion I posted a letter at Tamworth I saw a white handkerchief put into that letter, this was in March, 1844. There is a road near Mr. Smith's house which is sunk below the level of the ground ; you might go along this road without being observed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—That is if nobody was there to see them? Just so.—(Laughter.) Mr. Holdgate—l live near Liverpool. I was on a visit to Mr. Smith in June, 1844. He showed me a letter he had written to Lord Ferrers, and his Lordship's answer. Mr. Smith's letter was to the effect that he gave his consent to Lord Ferrer's marrying his daughter. Eleanor Holdgate—l am wife of the last witness. I was with him at Mr. Smith's, on a visit, in June, 1844. 1 saw Miss Smith write a letter, but I did not read it. She put it in an envelope and gave it me to post at Coventry, but I had not time, and I posted it at Leamington. I went with Mrs. and Miss Smith to Ashby. Mrs. Smith posted a letter on that occasion, but I did not see it. Ann Smith, sister of the plaintiff, a very pretty-looking young lady, apparently about sixteen years of age, was the next w:t less. She said I often saw Lord Tam• worth at church in the spring of 1843; on one occa sion I was going along a walk, opposite my father's drawing room window, and 1 saw Lord Ferrers leaning against the chimney-piece. There was nobody in the room then. I saw my sister go into the room, and then I left. Upon another occasion, on the 9th of December, I went into the drawing room, and Lord Ferrers was there playing on the piano. I went out again and met my sister, she had some cake and wine. She did not give me any, but brought them to Lord Ferrers,--(Laughter.) I was told I should be whipped if 1 went there again. —(Laughter.) I knew Joseph Atkins. 1 saw him near the house when they had gone to Harrowgate. Cross-examined—l was thirteen years old last November. I did not lose sight of him. I always kept my eyes upo him while at church.—(Laughter). He went away, and wa absent some time. It was my mama who said I was not to go into the drawing-room. She did not say why, but guessed.—(Laughter) She did not tell me Lord Ferrers was there, but .1 found out. I left my little sister iit one o the gardens, and in passing the window I peeped in at the corner.—(Laughter.) When I saw my sister come into the room I ran away. Re-examined—When at church Lord Ferrers used to look at my sister,—(Laughter.) Susan Ilopley, servant in Mr. Smith's family—ln Septem ber, 1843, Miss Singh asked me to put a letter in the post for her, which I did at Hugely. Cross-examined—Mrs. Smith asked me, about 12 months after, if I could get some of Lord Ferrers's hand-writing? She came to me, and wanted either me or my husband to get the writing. I didn't do so, but my husband tried, and couldn't get it, and then I wrote to Mrs. Smith. Re-examined.—l don't think I heard of the action when this application was made. John Page, labourer, and :Chelsea pensioner— I know Lord Ferrers and Miss Smith by sight. I was in a field at the back of Mr. Smitn's house in July or August, 1843, and I saw Lord Ferrers and Miss Smith in the field. They were walking side by side, and might be two or three yards apart.—( Laughter.) .I was not near enough to see that they were talking. Cross-examined by the Arronsite-GENERAL—It is about two years ago since I did anything as a bailiff's folhawer. Re -examined—l saw them a second time in the field. They were then four or five yards apart.—(Laughter.) The COURT—The distance between them appears to have increased.—(Laughter.) Here Mr. CHAMBERS applied to the Court to adjourn, as Airs, Perry, who was ill, could not attend until to-tnorro w. Airs, Holdgate was recalled with a view to ask her to whom the letters were directed, which she had posted for Mrs. Smith, but the question was not pressed. The Court then adjourned at half -past five, COURT OF REVIEW, Feb. 16. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. L. KNIGHT Baum) IN EE THE NEWTON LINK. The Totnes bank makes a claim against the estate of the Newton hapic of L&Cle./., which is disputed on the ground that the alleged agreement of 1834, on which the claim is rested, never existed. It seems that the partners in bath banks previons to that date were the same persons, sharing the like interest in both pqneerns, but that at that time an alteration took place, by which the banks at Newton and Totnes were erected into separate and independent concerns. The question in dispute is, whether there was such an ar rangement about the debts of eaellio Made the Newton bank liable to the cialm made against it by the bank at Totnes. The ease was opened by Mr. Swanston and Mr. Malins, whose arguments occupied the attention of the Court for three hours. When these were concluded, his llono.ur ad journed the further hearing till this day week, that certain of the partners might 14 brought up and examined. CODRT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goutuurat.) PT RE RINTIT. This bankrupt earned on business as a grocer in the country, and to• day was appointed for the choice of assig nees. During the case a point of some importance arose tinder the following circumstances ;--An onderonrbitd tAttn - - made to arrange with some of the creditors by giving pro missory notes for a composition of 10s. in the pound. The notes, however, not being duly honoured, it was claimed to prove for the original amount ; the proof, however, was ob. ;ected to, on the ground that the acceptance of a bill for a smaller amount extinguished the original debt, and that the proof could only be for the amount of the bill. The 1 - .:Tarned COVITISSIONER said the question was of im portance, but his opiuirn was, that if the bill Was not taken up when due the original debt eh.t4<l. The solicitor to the fiat said the qu2slion was whether it could be proved whilst the security existed, the time .1 . Niy. went not having expired? The lonl:rupt said he had.no means of taking it up. • The Learned COMATTSMONER, after referring to many cases, said that it appeared clear that nothing but a release could extinguish the debt unless the composition was fully carried out.

From the opening of the room to its close, Mermaid was the most Prominently in demand of the Chester Cup horses, and she ultimately dosed an equatif net a better favourite than the Best Bower ; at all events, if sot quoted at less odds, she had by far the most powerful Party. Several others were backed, but no changes of any moment resulted. The Derby transactions were of some importance. 1,000 to 200 laid against Sting in the early part of the afternoon was fol lowed by several bets, at the same prices, and II to 4 having been betted against him in conjunction with Brocardo and lago, it was inferred by some that the horse or his nomination must be amiss; the layers, however, were constant, and, at the close, 5 to 1 was ob tainable. Brocardo "came again," that is, 15 to 1 rag taken several times, the layers, nevertheless, being willing to go on. 1,000 to 50 was taken, nine or ten tim es, about Tibthorpe, and 500 even offered on bins against Spitheed. The betting, in other respects, presented nothing of peculiar interest. Latest prices : 8 to I agst Wadlow's lot. CHESTER CUP. 22 to 1 agst Lord Howth's Mermaid r-taken. 22 to I Lord G.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDE R.— Yesterday, about seven o'clock, the utmost excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of Great Wild-street, Drury lane, by the discovery of a most deliberate attempt at murder, very similar in its character to that recently committed at Newington; and which, like that, is most likely to terminate fatally. The following particulars have been obtained from the brother of the victim; and, no doubt, can be relied on : A Mr. James Rostock, a brass-founder, has a workshop at No. 4, Pitt-place, Great Wild-street, and resided in the house. It was usual for one of the ap prentices to call him up in a morning, and this was done by one of them, Cox, it is supposed, in the morning at the time above stated. Mr. Bostock came down in his shirt sleeves and apron, having been in the act of shaving, and a candle in his hand. He had no sooner reached the door than the report of a pistol was heard; and upon a man, named Goodwin, going to the passage, he found Mr. Bostock lying on the floor in a pool of blood, which had issued from a wound under the right ear. Be was insensible, and conveyed to King's College Hospital, where he lies in very dangerous state. The pistol was supposed to have been loaded with slugs, as one wis got out of the panel of the door , and is now in the hands of the police. A lad named Cox purchased some powder at an oil shop on Saturday, and has not been seen since. It is stated that Mr. Bostock missed eight shillings last week, which he deducted from Cox's wages on Saturday, and thus it is th a t h e i s strongly supposed to have some connexion with the diabolical act. At one o'clock little hopes were entertained of Mr. Bostock's recovery, nor was any mein custody. Crowds were assem bled near the spot. foßisetti'has left Paris are of his Physician, for ice. No hopes are entertained of his recovery. A fourth edition of " The Crescent and the Cross," by Eliot 'Warburton, Esq., ha , just been published, in two vols., price 21s. bound. This delightful work (as the Morning Post truly observes) is one of the moat readable books of travels that peregri- Stator ever penned. it is, from first to last, a splendid panorama of Enstern scenery in the full blaze of its magnificent.. It is impossi ble to read " The Crescent and the Cross" without being transported for the time ow to the sedgy hanks of the eternal Nile, into the country of our old friend Haroun Al Jiasehid, with ell its delightfid delusions, which, though partly dispelled, can never be forgotten. Moreover the crowning merit of the book is that it is evidently the production of a gentleman anti a meo of the world, who has lived lw the best society, and has hi'eu an attentive observer of the scenes, incidents, and iudn',W variety of characters which have passed be fore him during his joyous existence. To a keen sense of the ludicrous he joins a power of sketching and grouping width are most happily demonstrated. - rt.(.; Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query l& ppeposed.—Why do all the first cutlers of Europe use and recommend Saunders' Feur-sided Tablet Razor Strop?

Lord BEACAIO. - la'T rose to submit t o their Lordships the motion of which he had given notice, to inquire into the peculiar burdens on land, the impediments which existed to the improvement on agriculture, as well tte, to inquire into the present system of Excise duties. Although he understood that it was not the intention of the Uovernment to oppose that motion, their Lordships might probably expect that he would enter into the reasons why he submitted so important a motion to their consideration, and why also those, with whom he had hitherto in general acted, refused to comply with it similar motion when moved by other persons. He hail ever upheld •.that peculiar burdens on land, and protection to agriculture, were matters very closely connected. They must regard both subjects from the same point of view. Either they must remove the peculiar burdens on land, if they attempted to re move the protection which agriculture enjoyed, or they must, in common justice, continue protection, if they permitted those burdens to remain. He found that he was fortified in this opini on b y men w h ose authority was of considerable weight. lie found that :Mr. M'Cul loch, Mr. M'Gregor, and if he mistook not, his Noble Friend on his left (Lord Brougham), were all of opinion that there were peculiar burdens on land. The ehjeet of his motion was to inquire what those peculiar burdens were. If it were submitteti to his choice whether the burdens of land and protection to agriculture should be removed, or both allowed to con tinue, he would have no hesitation in selecting the con tinuance of the burdens and the continuance of protection rather than the removed of both, and lie was influenced in comic k to such a determination by national con siderations, by economical considerations, and by motives of a sense of justice to the colonies. fie believed that the contieuation of protection would be the most economical bargaitt that the country at large could strike with the agriculturists, if they granted a sum of money for general purposes, in which it WaS their desire th a t a ll Cl asses should equally participate. He believed it was for the advantage of the country at large that they should make an agreement with owners of real property to pay this large sum of money for these purposes, in considera tion that they should be allowed a ditty on the importa tion on forelgn corn. The motive on which he preferred this choice of the two was because lie believed it would tend to make this country independent of foreign na tions, and at the same time encourage industry at home. Ile further believed that the adoption of that syetem had one great advantage, inasmuch as it would enable them to give certain other advantages to our colonies, and enable them to admit their corn at a lower duty than that imposed on the corn imported from other countries. But there seemed to be no longer a chance of havine. .such a proposition as this submitted to their, and he spoke rather in anticipation of the possibility p ofprotection being entirely do ne away w i t h , because, had he not an ticipated such a possibility, he never should have thought of submitting each 'a motion to. their Lordships. He Might here as well stetee that the object he' had in view was not to delay the consid4ration of the question of protection, because from what he had already stated he thought their Lordships would see that he concidered the investigation of the peculiar burdens with the inten ', tiou of equalisin g th em as t h e rousequeuee- of the r e p ea l Of 'all duties there, as a measure by itself: Ilavinee thus, he trusted, explained the motive and reasons why he selected that moment for submittiug his motion, and by implication shown the motives which induced those with whom he was associated for refusing to grant it on a former occasion, he would proceed isith as much brevity as he could to consider the peculiar questions which he thought the Committee must take into their considera tion. In speaking of those taxes which were raised 11',t, real property, he wished to draw a wide distinction be tween the two classes, niter which he intended to ar range • them. In the Poor-law Commissioners' re ports he found twenty-tour distinct rates enume rated, but the only classification of them was this—that ten were raised on the basis of the poor-law; 8 raised in valet:ice, though not in law; and 6 raised on other bases. The operation of the law was, that they were raised from property and practice. The distinction which he wished to draw was this—that he wished to distinguish those which were only for local purposes—which only interested those people for whom they were raised, anti those in the immediate vicinity. Now he wished to make this distinction between those taxes and those rates which were imposed for general purposes, and those taxes and those rates which were im pesed for peculiar purposes —the one being borne for the benefit of the whole community, and the other only for the advantage of a particular district. The taxes w hick_ he wouid designate for local purposes. were the drainage rates,:t he sewers' rate, and the rate for the meat police, and he should no more think of imposing the ex. penditure for the purposes of these rates upon the goer munity at large than he should think of imposing th e especial rates for towns upon the rural population -; for instance, he should no more think of r inaposkeig the rate necessary for the ireovement of this marsh lands in the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire, on the inhabitants of towns, from the peculiar-burdens of the agricultural residents, than he should think it ne cessary or just to impose the burdens Which hurl to be borne by the residents in cities for peculiar purposes, from which the rural population de rive no advantage. The rates which he should designate as the rates which were particularly imposed on the inhabitants of towns were , the paving rate, the lighting rate, the water rate, and those other particular burdens which were not all necessary for the mode of life of the inhabitants of towns ; these were what he called the peculiar burdens of tow ns , ri g a th l i i e e m should upon the nionhabniTare thinki s we o re r charged im Pos 118E.ith the cultivation and improvement. of the marsh lands of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire than he should. think'of imposing upon them the expense of affording a. better supply of water to the inhabitants of Exeter. It: was usual • f'or these rates to be imposed by the inha bitants of towns, through the agency of public• meetings, called by the inhabitants themselves, and ratified by a special act of those inhabitants. New the burdens imposed upon land for peculiar pur poses are the rate for drainage, the dike rate, and the rate for the support of the rural police. These rates. were for particular acts, in which the rural population were specially interested. But there' were other rates which were imposed for general purposes, such as th ose f or the maintenance of the poor, public security, and the support of the a d... ministration of justice • and with o ut p rotect i ve duties he would no more think of imposing theni upon land. alone than he would think of imposin g them up on the fundholders or u p on any ot h er part icularbody in th e State.. The maintenance of the poor-rate was an object of peen-. liar interest, to all classes, whether manufacturing or' agricultural. Ile trusted that lie had said enough ta• convince their Lordships that the maintenance of the. poor was a national and general object. If the militia,, were called out, it was not for the purpose of defending -7 the mere acres—it was not for the purpose of defending; the capitalist—it was to def en d t h e country generall.se and, therefore, all classes were equally intereeeted in paying the militia rate, which was made for the .pro tection of every person, and not of peculiar indiv;alualee Thus, the rates for the maintenance of the poor, the de fence of the country, and the administration of justice, were common to all, and equally paid by all, and wer r distinguished from other rates levied roe less genera I purposes. lie wished to see how far the relation betweei t real property and every other kind of property extended , anti he wished to see the relative position of landed proo perty and property that consisted of houses ; s The poor-rate was origi na ll y f oun d e d on t h e same s on which most other Sates were founded.
