CITY, QUARTER TO TIIREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather more animated. Sales, 6,000 bales, of which 1,200 were Maranhain. Prices were steady.—Rail way Shares were not so good Bristol and Exeter brought 45 ; Great Western Half, 61 ; Liverpool and Manchester, Quarter, - 43f ; North Midland, 60; and Paris and Rouen, 224. The Britannia, from Boston and Halifax, brings advices to the 3d inst. .13'rom Canada the accounts reach to the 29th ult. The letters and papers re ceived in the City, in referring to commercial matters, do not notice generally any particular change or ha provement. A moderate business was doing in many articles of absolute necessity, but not an extensive one, and it is given as a satisfactory indi cation of a disposition on the part of the people to re turn to more steady and honest courses, after so much bank swindling and prosperity inflation, that articles of luxury had a very indifferent sale. Money was plentiful, and it was difficult to find safe and at the same time profitable employment for it. At Philadelphia and New Orleans business was dull, and Flour and Wheat, owing to the abundant crops, were declining all over the Union. Complaints were made of the want of promptitude exhibited by the dealers in the West in making remittances, and which appears to arise from the scarcity of money in that direction (more likely the want of credit and confidence, we should say), and the low prices of produce. We are glad to find that the • Americans have re ceived full instructions from - their English corre spondents for the proper curing and packing of their salted meats, so as to adapt them to the tastes of con sumers in this country ; and if Brother Jonathan will but favour us with a little of his Cincinnati pork and New Orleans cotton, in part payment of the heavy sums he owes us, he will rise considerably in the estimation of honest men. The accounts from Canada furnish a copy of the Act passed for the regulation of the lumber trade, and which appeared to be considered prejudicial. The further stoppage of one or two establishments in Montreal, but not for large amounts, and being houses expected to go for score time past, is announced in the letters received to-day. A comparative state ment of arrivals, tonnage and passengers at Quebec to the 28th Oct. of the present year as compared with 1841, exhibits the immense falling off this year of 389 vessels and 117,863 tons, although the passengers show an increase of 16,109 persons, or to 44,388. The weather was -fine, and the fall ploughing was carried on with vigour. Mr. Wakefield was can vassisg for the representation of Beauharnais. The latest sales of flour at Montreal were at 245. cash, for America, being a shade higher. Mess Pork was rather heavier of sale. In the English funds'a fair amount of business has been transacted: Consols have been supported at 94 to 94/ for Money, and 94/ for the 4th instant, being so far something like a baccadation: Exchequer Bills are lower, having been marked SU to , , 58 pre mium.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. ARRIVAL OF THE ' BRITANNIA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt, reached the Mersey to-day, soon after twelve o'clock, after an extremely boisterous passage, during the last few days of which she encoun tered a constant succession of heavy gales. She left Boston on the Ist, and Halifax on the 3d inst. The principal news in the papers relates to Texas and Mexico. Both countries arc pre paring to strike a decisive blow. Five thousand Mexican troops had left Matamoras for Texas, while the citizens of the latter country were up in arms and rushing to the frontlet to meet their assailants. In the neighbourhood of San An tonio, where a short time previously the Mexi cans had entered in triumph, a battle had taken place, and although they out-numbered their opponents by three to one, the Mexicans retired ("scampered" is the term used) to a con siderable distance, leaving upwards of one hun dred dead on the field, and about twice that number wounded. Anxious to put a stop to this conflict, and bring about, if possible, a reconci liation between the belligerents, Mr. Webster, the American Minister for Foreign Affairs, had addressed a communication to the representative of his Government at Mexico, offering the ser vices of the United States as a friendly Power, and stating it to be the opinion of President Tyler that the war, as it relates to Mexico, was " useless and hopeless." In the United States elections for members- of the StateS Legislatures had taken place for about two-thirds of the number composing the Union. The result, as far as it had gone, was generally fitvourable to the Loco-fbco or Democratic ,party—strengthening the power of rthe existing Federal Executive,. which, althoUgh elected by the opposite party, has exhibited, since the .death of General Harrison, 'political tendencies inimical to thOse professed by that functionary. The picking of the cotton, crop was proceeding favourably.. From Yazoo, on the Mississippi, 1,000,000 bales will, it is said, be shipped this year, being au increase on the crop of last year, which was deemed above an average crop. Great quantities of counterfeit coin are stated to be in circulation throughout the United States. One of the papers say, " As to cents, they are manufactured and sold by- the keg,- just like nails. The privately manufactured cents are worth just as much as those made by the Go vernment, but in silver coin the free trade plan gets in too much copper. A seizure had been made by the Custom house officers at Boston, the nature of which ought to be made known in this country. A quantity of goods from Paris was shipped in the Royal Mail steamer, which touched at that port, and seized on the ground that an English vessel could not legally bring any goods except those manufactured in Great Britain. A sad " cut" to American credit was recently given at Havannah. Good private bills, at sixty days' sight, were negotiated at a premium of two per cent., while the bills of the Federal Govern ment, at thirty days sight, could :only be nego tiated at three per cent. discount. The rate of exchange is very low, 106 to 1061. The market dull, and little doing in any of the local stocks. On France the rates were sf. 45e. to 5E 421 c. The following are the latest accounts from Canada, extracted from the New York papers : There is still a very stubborn and violent discus sion going on in Canada, about the removal of the seat of government. The people of Toronto and Montreal want their toNtps to have the privilege; whilst the people of Quebec clamour louder than all the rest to have the seat of government located there. With regard to Sir Charles Bagot's administration, and popularity, or want of it, we shall hear more at the next session of. the Canadian Parliament. Some of the papers state that their confidence in his policy is so great that they feel sure, if a vote of a want of confidence should be attempted, it would be negatived immediately by a large majority. On the other band several of the papers condemn his policy most vehe mently ; and particidarly his calling Lafontaine, Baldwin, and others, to take seats in the Executive Council. _ _ • The arrangements of Sir Charles Ballot for form= ing a new Ministry have been fully completed, and the following is the result :—R. B. Sullivan, Presi dent of the Council ; S. B. Harrison, Secretary C. W. ; J. E. Small, Solicitor-General, C. W.; D. Daly, Se cretary, C. E.; L. H. Lafontaine, Attorney-General, C. E.; T. C. Aylwin, Solicitor-General, C. E.; J. 11. Dunn, Receiver-General ; F. Hincks, Inspector-Ge neral; H. H. Killally, President of Board of Works; A. N. Morin, Commissioner of Crown Lands. These eleven are all men of ability, and very liberal in their politics. In the House of Assembly, com posed of 84 Members, it is asserted, upon pretty good authority, that there are only 13 -decidedly opposed to the Ministry, and 11 of them doubtful ; thus leav ing them 60 firm supporters. Mr: Duncombe and Mr. Parent will retire from Parliament, but their places will doubtless be supplied by Mr. E. G. Wake field and Mr. A. N. Morin, of the smile politics. The British frigate 'Pique had sailed from Que bec with two companies of the Coldstream and two of the Grenadier Guards on board. The 7th Hussars had arrived at Quebec, and were to be sent home immediately. The public works in Canada are already affecting the Erie Canal, if we may judge by the following from the Rochester Democrat : " THE WELLAND V. THE ERIE CANAL.—We set it down as a conceded fact—a fact established by figures —that the business of the Welland canal is increasing. The tolls during the month of August,,lB42, exceed those of the same month in 1841, to the amount of about 9,000 dollars. Yet, notwithstanding this increase, only a comparatively small portion of the produce of the west passes through that channel. — The Cleveland Herald says that produce of the value of $309,936 26 was shipped from that port during the month of September, and of that amount only $157,190 38 went through the IVelland Canal. So that there is yet, as they say in the west, a smart chance' to have the Canadian trade increased, and there is no doubt but that it will be increased, unless some efficient means are promptly taken to counter act the effect which the improvements now progress ing in Canada will have upon the trade." SOMETHING NEW.—MORE OF THE WELLAND CANA L.—A schooner came into our port on Wednes day, from St. Joseph, on Lake Michigan, with 5,000 bushels of wheat for Charles J. Hill. This event is important. We are assured, by a gentleman ac quainted with the forwarding business in all its branches that if there was a good M'Adam road made to the river, opposite Carthage, he could land wheat at the mills in Rochester at from two to five cents a bushel cheaper than if brought down the Erie Canal. The news from Galveston, in Texas, is im portant, as will be seen from the subjoined details. A despatch, dated Camp Salado, 20th September, mentions that Colonel Caldwell, with a force of 350 Texians, had an engagement with General Wall, in which the latter came off victorious. The Mexicans left 100 killed on the field of battle, besides 200 wounded. A company of 59 men, called the Fayette Volunteers, in attempting to join the camp of Colonel Caldwell, were cut off, and took position in a thicket, from which they defended themselves against an infi nitely superior force, until completely cut to pieces ; thirty-three of the number were found dead on the field, and the remainder supposed to have been made prisoners of war. Accounts were daily expected at Galveston of a de cisive battle between the contending forces. A rumour prevailed at Linville that a Mexican re inforcement of 2,500 men were at the Nueces, and Colonel Clark Owen, of Texiana, was out to as cer t a i n its truth. Colonel W. G. Cook was again in the field, having joined Colonel Burleson with 200 Texians and 100 Indians. MEXICO AND TEXAS. (Correspondence of . the New York Herald.)

The schooner Acorn ar rived from the Sabine river, and reports that just pre vious t') her sailing a schooner arrived there from Galveston, with accounts of the capture, plunder, and burning of Austin, the seat of the Government of Texas, by the advanced guard of the Mexican army, under General Wall, who it appears met with no op position, and did not lose a man. Our last accounts previous to this, left General Burleson, with 1,000 Texians, near St. Antonio, and if the present news is true, he must have fallen back on the eastern counties, as Austin is four hundred miles this side. If so the Texians will probably make a stand near the Brazos River, where the country' is populous, and the people of Eastern Texas could readily join them. My opinion is the Mexicans will march through Texas and take possession of it. That country has no money and no credit, the volunteers who went down there last spring to assist it were I l shamefully used, and none could be found now to assist it when the wolf has really come.- General Adrian Wall, who commands the advanced guard of the Mexicans, is either a Pole or a Frenchman by birth. He served early in France, and afterwards joined the Mexicans in their revolutions against Spain, and served with success in several campaigns. He is very hostile against Texas, having been made prisoner by General Hou s t on w hil e bearing a flag of truce from General Filiciola, who commanded the Mexican army n'. the camp a i gn o f 1 0 36, after the capture of Santa 'Anna. General Wall is able and experienced, a good disciplinarian, and has good troops, which he has drilled in person. Samuel Houston is an imbecile, and will be no match for him in the field. That is my opinion. I know them both ; however we shall - soon see the result of the invasion. A brig sailed from there a few days since for Vera Cruz. with 2,000 barrels of coal for the Mexican war steamers, and in all prob a bilit y t h e M ex i c a n fleet will attack Galveston by sea in a very short time. That done, and a good army o f 7,000 t o 8,000 men marching from the W,pst, unless the Texians make a grand rally and gain some decisive advantage, their country is lost, for they have not. the means to sustain an efficient army in the field for any length of time, and they cannot expect assistance from the - United States—our people have lost and suffered too much to be induced to aid them any more under such an ineffi cient Government as they have at present. P.S. A schooner has just arrived from Galveston and brings newspapers of 10th. The Mexicans had not advanced: farther. St. Antonio and Austin are not burned. The Texians were rallying to the rescue, and appeared to be very confident of their ability to defend the country, I h ope t h ey may no t b e dis appointed. The Neptune steamer arrived this morning from New York via Charleston and Havannah. She made the run from the latter place in sixty hours from city to city. (From the New , York Herald, Oct. 31.) We have had nothing new from this part of the world since the arrival of the. Henrietta at New Or leans, whose hews to the Bth of October we published a few days since. The second general invasion of Texas by the Mexi can army will be a very serious affair before the Mexi cans are driven out of Texas. Already 100 Texians have been killed, and about double that number of Mexicans. Yet there has 'been Ito engagement be tween the hostile forces on this occasion that could be dignified by the name of a fight—nothing but skir mishes. They have had the effeot, however, of keep ing the Mexicans in check. But when the remainder_ of the Mexican forces, amounting probably to 15,000 men, enter Texas in three divisions, as they will do, and the powerful fleet of Mexico blockades and bom bards the ports of Texas, the " lone star" republic will have very tough work of it. • That she will ultimately triumph over the Mexi cans we do not for a moment doubt ; but to do this she must have assistance, in some shape, from the United States. If not men, she certainly must have provisions, arms, and munitions of war. We very much doubt whether there can be found fighting men enough in Texas to beat back the large force which Mexico is about to bring against her. And the shameful manner in which the recent volunteers from the United States have been treated .by the authori ties in Texas, renders it very doubtful whether she will have much more assistance in that way. Never theless, if matters were to grow desperate, find the Texians were to be driven - this side the Brazos, we think perhaps that numbers of gallant spirits would rush in there from the Southern and South-Western States; in which event the Mexicans would be driven out of the country in three weeks, with great slaughter. In the meantime our Government has offered to mediate between the two countries, and we think Great Britain ought also to offer her services for the same object. Almonte, the Mexican Ambassador, bas been presented to the President. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, OCT. 31. The feeling at the Stock Board was a little better, if anything. Prices generally rose under very small sales. Ohio Sixes of 1866 rose per cent. ; Mo hawk, ' • Harlem, I. In the Bill-market for the packet, the mails for which close to-day, there has been a fair demand, with a commensurate supply, though not a large one. 'The rates. close, however, at a rise on the average sales. The greater proportion of .stOng were sold at 51 a 5 pz..r cent. Paris, 15 ; Amsterdam 38 a 38-4-. Lower rates are confidentially anticipated. Treasury Notes are quoted per cent. ; Half Dollars ' a American Gold, a ; Mexican Dollars, ; Mobile Funds, 13 a 14. discount ; New Orleans, 1 a2l prem. The great' feature of the Money7marketS' Of the . world now, i s the ab u nd an ee ofplopey . in all countries, giving indi s p u t a bl e ev id ence lhat affairs 'htive touched bottom. At all the great centres of business' SOCie has accumulat e d i n , great abUndance. New York, Paris, and London, are -each possessed of unusual amounts. This is seen in the following table of • the amount of specie held by the Banks of England and of France, and an approximation to that held by the New York Banks, based upon their condition in August last:— SPECIF , ANL CIRCULATION OF THE BANKS " ENG LAND, FRANCE, AND NEW YORK, TOGETHER WITH TUE MARKET RATE OF INTEREST IN EACH CITY. Bank of Bank of Bank of England. France. New York. Circulation, £ 99 ,570,000 £42,157,981 .156,000,000 Specie; 49,080,000 43,125,000 5,500,000 Excess paper, .£50,490,.000 specie, $'500,000 967,019 Rate of interest, 2-1- p. cent. 3 p er cent. 5 per cent. This is the stat e o f affairs which . . h a s succeeded one of the greatest money p ressures that eve r overtook the commercial world. The immediate causes of that pressure k.rew out of the extension of the credit sys tem of England, by which she lent to other nations sums so large that the bullion of the Bank fell from 1833 to 1836-37 nearly 35,000,000 dol. In all that time she was under no necessity to purchase fo reign corn, and her large imports of produce from the United States were paid for by the export of her manufactures. Her real difficulties did not ar rive until, through the failure of her harvest, she was obliged to buy uently, to pay for it c orn of hard mo ney countries, and, en n in hard money. During th e p as t year by - a combi nation has been enabled to in - ereas of circumstances in crease theiiu c a u n m ti s t t y an o c f es shes efl her - bullion in the face of large imports of grain. At this cri s i s , h o wever, her inter course with the United St a t es has un d ergone an im portant change. The United States has become a hard money country with a prohibitive tariff, and her co tton and produce now st an d i n re l at i on t o E ng l an d as did the wheat of Europe i n years o f s carcity. It must be had, and it to be had must be paid for in specie. This is the channel through which the accu mulated specie and the plenteousness of money in Paris and London is to find its vent. The accumula tion in New York is Or leans,alrea and the drain from ngland is about to com tx in motion to New mence. This movement of specie will start trade, but in the mean time there is no demand for money for business purposes, and stocks from various causes are almost wholly neglected. There is some little demand for New York State and Corporation Stocks for investment, but generally there is little doing. In Ohio the recent election has brought into power the party favourable to a new State loan, at 1 0 per cent. inter e st. This has affected Y ork State there are their stocks, and in New appre hensions of a similar result at the election which takes place on the Bth inst.

The state of the markets' in all the ports his had a downward tendency. At iNew Orleans theii has been a good demand for the English and French markets, but the low state of the exchanges renders it almost impossible to operate. The principal transactions an; made in specie, and the holders of that medium make purchases almost on the same terms. This state .of the currency at the head of the market for produce operating with the 'great abundance of the new crop, causes the general decline in prices. CORN TRADE. There has been only a fair demand for broadstuffs since our last report. -IVe notice no material ahem tion in prices in this market. Supplies are to a fait' • extent, having reached to upwards of 850,000 barrels for the season. This only includes that received downs the North River. We have had an aggregate supply this year of one million barrels. Extensive sales of wheat were making in Buffalo on the 26th, at 63 cents. Best brands of flour $3,50, although inferior miscellaneous samples have been sold as low as $3,00. Corn is out of request at 34 cents. Oats 15 cents on the 28th. A cargo of 5,000 bushels wheat from Monroe was afloat, which was contracted for to arrive, but the purchaser failel to meet his engagement. It will probably bring 67 cents. An advance of freights on the canal have thrown corn out of the market. There was one cargo afloat, but no offers to purchase. The best samples of wheat were offered freely in Cleveland, on the 26th, at 60 cents, at which some sales were made. There was no particular price for flour, holders being unwilling to accede to rates cor responding with the New York market-3f would be given. We do not believe that the average price all over the country, will reach four dollars a barrel. We be lieve that it is certainly one shilling under that point. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) SMITH V. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. The arguments in this part-heard case occupied the Lord Chancellor the whole day. They were resumed to-day from last Thursday. . VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY). (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir JAMES WIGRAX.) HOWARD V. PRICE —PRICE V. HOWARD. His Hosiona gave judgment in this cause. The plaintiff in this case was the husband of the defendant, Catherine Howard. Catherine Howard was the only child and next of kin of Ann Diana West, the testa trix in the cause, who died in the month of July, 1829. The object of the plaintiff's bill was to have it declared that as to the 1,5001. the testatrix died intes tate, and that he was entitled to it as next of kin, and to have it declared that certain stock standing in the name of the testatrix, was, in point of fact, the pro perty of the plaintiff's wife. £here was a cross bill filed by West, whose interest was opposed to that of the plaintiff. Both these bills had to a certain extent one object, which was to administer the estate of the testatrix. By her will the testatrix settled her Three per Cent. stock upon Catherine Howard, in a certain manner under which her daughter took an interest for life, and West and other parties took an interest in remainder and other events. There were standing in the name of the testatrix three sums of Four per Cent. Stock, 2001., 1,8501., and 7501. The testatrix had bequeathed all her interest in the New Four per Cent. Bank Annuities, and those who claimed adversely to Mr. Howard, the plaintiff in the first cause, said that all this New Four per Cent. standing in her name passed under that behest. Mr. Howard said that 1501. of the 2001. was purchased with his money, and that the testatrix was a trustee for him for that sum. With regard to the 1,8501. New Four per Cent. An nuities, the. history of them was this :—The husband of Ann Diana West purchased 871. Long Annui ties in the name of Ann Diana West, and Mrs. Howard, the plaintiff's wife. After his death, and after the marriage of the plaintiff, those Long Annuities were sold out, and vested in the purchase of 1,8501. New Four per Cents., but instead of being purchased in the joint names of Ann Diana West, the testatrix, and Mrs. Howard, it was, by the direc tion of Ann Diana West, purchased in her own name alone. With respect to the 7501., Mrs. Howard was owner, in fee simple, of a house at Twickenham. In the year 1825 it was sold, and part of the money, 1 7501, was laid out in the purchase of New Four per Cents. Long Annuities, which New Four per Cents., although the house at Twickenham was the property of Mrs. Howard, were purchased in the sole name of Ann Diana West. With regard to the 750/. The plaintiff admitted that at the death of the testatrix he owed her 1,5001. upon a promissory note ; and the only question was, whether that 1,500/. was undisposed of by the will and codicil. With regard to the 1501., the sole evidence given upon the subject was, that upon the stock receipt for that 2001. there was written in the handwriting of the testatrix, "50/. is mine." It was impossible that he could from that draw an inference in favour of the plaintiff. 'With regard to the 1,850/., the plaintiff's case was stronger with respect to that sum than the others. This sum having been purchased by the husband of Ann Diana West, and the father of Mrs. Howard, in the joint names of Ann Diana West, his wife, and Mrs. Howard, the presumption would be that there was an advancement, a gift to the two ; and if the Long An nuities had stood in the name of the two, the daughter would unquestionably have been entitled to it. In point of fact, the whole was transferred into the name of the mother, and it appeared at the mother's direc tion. She died in 1829, and the plaintiff had, since that time, been acting under a power of attorney from the executors of Ann Diana West, thereby acknow ledging that it was, in point of fact, part of the estate of the testatrix. It was not till after this long lapse of time, when called upon to pay this 1,8501., that he set up the case which he had done. With regard to the 1,5001., he was most clearly in Mr. Howard's favour, subject to certain directions with respect to taking the accounts. Mr. West's executor's bill prayed a declaration as to this 1,5001. He could not dismiss Mr. 'West's bill then, because he prayed to have that sum brought into Court, and the creditors might be interested. With respect to the 7501., he would have no hesitation, as a juryman, in saying that that was the property of Mrs. Howard, and that the plaintiff would be entitled to it in right of his wife. He would direct an issue to try that question. The effect of his decree would be to dis miss Howard's bill as to the 2001. and 1,8501., and to declare that the 1,500/. due upon Howard's note was undisposed of by the will and codicil ; this decla ration to be without prejudice to the accounts here after to be directed. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) M'IITOSH V. NEW COLLEGE. This was an action brought for the purpose of trying the validity of a modus for the tithes Of the parishes of Lambourne, Stapleford Abbotts, and Hornchurch. The cause had been tried at Chelms ford, and the Jury had returned a verdict for the plaintiff. A rule nisi had been obtained for a new trial, on the grounds that the verdict on one of the counts of the declaration was against evidence, and that the Learned Judge who had tried the cause had misdirected the Jury. The case came on for argument this morning, when the Solicitor-General, Mr. Platt, and Mr. Gurney, appeared to argue against the rule, and Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Sergeant Channel!, Mr. Petersdorff, and Mr. Peacock, to support it. The arguments in this case were of a most unin teresting nature. They had not been brought to a conclusion at the time we went to piess. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) DE MEDINA V. SIIARPNELL. This cause had been set down for trial at Guild hall in the sittings after last term, but was struck out of the paper, the plaintiff not being ready to go to trial on account of the absence of a principal witness. Mr. Sergeant Shea, upon affidavit that the plaintiff had merits to go before a Jury, this day obtained a rule for a new trial. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY. PRATT V. DELARUE. The plaintiff in this ease had sued in forma pau penis ; and on the 4th of November last an order had been made by Mr. Baron Rolfe to the effect that a summons taken out by him should be refused, with costs to be paid to the defendant. Mr, Home, on be half of the plaintiff, had on a former day obtained a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why this order should not be set aside, on the ground that a pauper could not be taxed with costs. Mr. OTTER now appeared to show cause against this rule. The Learned Counsel contended, in the first place, that parties pleading in forma pauperis were not liable to be exempted from interlocutory costs, or costs incurred upon an application independent of the main suit; and secondly, that the plaintiff did not conic within the operation of the statute, inasmuch a 3 he had not pleaded as a pauper until after the case had been commenced. Mr. lIoRNE supported the rule, and submitted that, according to the practice of the Court, paupers were not liable for the payment of any costs ; but that if any proceeding which could be considered vexatious were taken by them, the usual course was to apply for a rule calling upon them to show cause why they should not be dispaupered. The COURT held that, according to practice, paupers were not liable for interlocutory costs, and the rule should therefore be made absolute ; thus rescinding that portion of the order of Mr. Baron Rolfe which ordered payment to the defendant. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY. EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1842. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.). IN BE HERRY WM. stinirrEit.. The bankrupt had carried on business as a wine merchant, and the amount of debts which appeared in his schedule was 43,4501., in paynient of which it was estimated that about 17,0001. would be realised from his available assets, namely :—.Good debts, with out any written security, 4,7801.; bills and promis sory no t e s, nearly 3 ; 0001.; and - the available balanoe, certain freehold property situate at Bow, which it was supposed would realise nearly 10,0001. by sale. It appeared by the examination of the bankrupt, that on the 27th . of August, 1840, he effected certain policies of insurance upon a cargo shipped for Cal cutta,by his brother, and a point was raised as to who was entitled to the potential interest in this insurance —he or his brother, in case the vessel was lost. A great number of small creditors, chiefly servants, domestic and in trade, relations, proved against the estate ; after which the choice of assignees was pro ceeded with, when Mr. Henry Wall, of the firm of Wall and Simmons, and Mr. John Best, were • appointed. SHERIFF'S COURT.—(THIS 'DAY.) The Court took short undefended causes at the sitting this morning. BOND V. CLARKE. This was an action to recover the sum of 51. ss. for the use and hire of a cottage piano. The plaintiff is a pianoforte maker, and the defen dant is a music master. The defendant hired a piano in the year 1838, and kept it for seven months. It was for the hire of the piano during this time that the present action was brought. . Evidence was adduced to prove these facts. The defence to the action was that the piano was sent to the defendant to sell for the plaintiff. Very conflicting evidence was then given on the part of the defendant. A person was put into the box who swore that the piano was sent to be sold and not hired. The Learned SIIERIFF summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) David Gould Nelson, a young man of respectable appearance, and Lucy, his wife, were brought up in custody of Inspector Partridge of the A. division, and charged on suspicion of stealing four 51. Bank of England notes, forty sovereigns and silver moneys, in the whole amounting to the sum of 631. 6s. 6d., the property of the Directors of the Friendly Loan Society, at No. 50, Leicester-square. The male prisoner was cashier to the Society, and in November last he alleged that his desk at the Society's office had been broken open, and robbed of the moneys in question. His story at the time was suspected to be a fabrication, but as no direct proof could be obtained inculpating him, he was merely dismissed from his situation. The numbers of the fitteen notes represented by him to have been stolen being known, they were stopped at the Bank of England, and a few days since one of them was paid in through Mr. Marshall, of Hungerford market, grocer, at whose shop it was passed on last Wednesday week, by a female, a stranger, in payment for some tea and sugar. In spector Partridge being employed on the business succeeded in tracing out that the female whO passed the note at Mr. Marshall's, immediately called a cab from off the stand and drove away. The cab driven was at length found yesterday evening ; he proceeded with the inspector to Colney Hatch, near Finchley, where he took the party to, and there the prisoners were found living together, and the female was di rectly identified by the cab driver„ Mr. Marshall's shopman also identified her as being the person who paid to him The Si. The female prisoner solemnly - denied that she had ever been in Mr. Marshall's shop in her life, or that she had had a 51. note lately in her possession. The husband said he knew nothing about the robbery. Inspector Partridge said that another of the Si. notes had been paid into the Bank, and he had no doubt he should be able to trace it. The prisoners were remanded for a week. LOSS OF THE RELIANCE (EAST INDIAMAN.)

SUDDEN DEATH IN THE STREET.—As pulice. con - stable 136 M was proceeding along Union-street, Borough, about half-past nine o'clock last night, his attention was called to an old gentleman, who fell down at the corner of Lawnsend-court. He found him in a state of insensibility, and, with assistance, conveyed him to the station-house in the Southwark Bridge-road. Mr. Odling, the surgeon, was instantly in attendance, and pronounced him quite dead. The name of deceased was John Chisholm, aged 74, who carried on the business of a jeweller, at No. 3, Herbert's-buildings, Webber-street. He had been out that afternoon with Mr. Crawcour, of -Windsor r lace, who left him in perfect health about eight in Long-lane, Bermondsey.

The leaders of each party in politics, who, as a matter of busines4,, call each other scoundrels all through the Parliamentary ses sion, were full of protestations of mutual friendship. Lord Stanley declared Lord Jolm'Russ e ll t o b e a very worthy fellow ; and Lord John Russell declared, over the Lord Mayor's champagne, that he had a very sincere private esteem for the very man whom he is always publicly stigmatising as the most dishonest and despicable of characters. This sort of thing was kept up until a late hour, the new Lord Mayor mak ing a complimentary speech about the old, and the old puffing the ne w • while each thought him self what is commonly called an infinitely superior card to the other.—Pu nc h.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—It seems that the imposition of the odious and inquisitorial Income-tax is not enough without add ing to its burthen and offence injurious consequences, from the imperfections in the Act of Parliament, in regard to the deduction or retention of that tax from small ground-rents. Now, Sir, although the mean, fastidious, or oppressi ve landlord may avail himself of this deficiency in the Act, who could have expected that the oMce of that Government which has imposed this iniquitous tax, for such I consider the Duchy of Lancaster to be, should act in the way it has done towards their tenants? I hold a house of that Duchy under a long term, paying a ground-rent of 201. per annum. At their audit on the 3d instant I went to pay - the half-year's rent, and from which I claimed a deduction of 70 pence (ss. 10d.) for Income-tax, when I was told that the auditors had determined not to allow any such deduction, unless it were proved to them that that tax had b een paid. The house was many years since underlet at GO/. per annum, and when I received the 301. for the half-year due to me at Michaelmas last, I, without the least hesitation, allowed my tenant the 30 sevenpences, and took only of him-291. 2s. 6d. This rent belongs to an annuitant for life. I therefore retained 91. 14s. 2d. for the Duchy, and paid the 19/. Bs. 4d., the balance to the amount, so that in fact I have only the 9/. 14s. 2d. for the Duchy. However, this explanation was of no avail, for nothing less than the 101. in full tale would they receive, and as I had not that sum in hand, the half-year's rent is unpaid to the Duchy. My tenant underletat a further rent, and his tenant, it appears, has done so also. It is impossible for me to produc any voucher for the payment_of this abominable tax. But surely, Sir, this is sometlitag like adding insult to injury. Can there, for one moment, be any doubt but that an Income or Property-tax must be paid to the extent of the ground-rent ? Then, why this an noyance and perplexity of accounts ? Suppose I pay the 10/., when and how am Ito get it from the Duchy ? Am Ito dance attendance upon them for this paltry 55.10 d.; and how am I to satisfy their tender scepticism that the tax is paid ? Must I pro duce all the sub-tenants, from first to last, to remove their scruples ? Suppose, Sir, it were the last half year of the tenantcy, and they were paid the whole rent, what then is to be done ? I hope you will insert this at your earliest conve nience, and that some one of your legal readers will oblige me and many others with the real construction of the Act, and whether we have any, and what, re medy.—l am, Sir, your constant reader, K. Y. Strand, Nov. 10, 1842. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF CAsnEL.=-The Right Rev. Dr. Sandes, Bishop of Cashel and Waterford, died at his residence in Fitzwilliam-square, Dublin, on Monday. Dr. Sandes had long been a Fellow of the University of Dublin, and was elevated to the See of Cashel by the late Government. ALLEGED RAPE.—At the Staines Petty Sessions yesterday, Robert Pleury, a labourer, aged 18, was charged with forcibly violating the person of Elizabeth Brown, aged 16, a servant out of place, and living with a married sister at Stanwell, next door to a beer shop, in Foing from which the prisoner, it appears, saw the girl looking out of the front window of her sister's house, which he entered without ceremony, and proceeded up stairs ; but the complainant had in the interval gone down to a back room below, and hearing strange footsteps on the stairs, was alarmed, and not without reason, for the-prisoner came down, and, in spite of her . efforts to keep the door closed, forced his way into the ro om , an d comm i tted the offence, which he endeavoured to repeat. The screams of the prosecutrix were heard by some persons in the, neighbourhood, b u t no one went to her assistanced The prisoner declared that the girl was a consenting party. The Bench, however, were of a different opinion, and committed the prisoner for trial. DREADFUL ACCIDENT NEAR UXBRIDGE.--TWO LIVES LosT.--On the afternoon of Saturday last an accident occurred in the neighbourhood of the village of Harefield, a b ou t f our miles from the town of Ux bridge. It appears that for some days a number of labourers had been employed in excavating chalk in a pit near - the village, for the purpose of its being burned- into lime. In digging for that purpose, it ' was necessary that a portion of the cliff should be undermined, which was done in the course of Satur day, and about four o'clock in 'the afternoon, while the men were still employed in completing the opera tion, a slip took place without any previous warning, and two of the workmen were buried under, a cone of chalk, weighing, it is computed, upwards of 20 tons. Their names were 'William Haines and John Taylor, two young men, residing in the village ; but although extraordinary exertions were made by the a v persons er d iet assembled to remove the superincumbent weight of chalk, a considerable period elapsed before they could be extricated, when both were found to be in a lifeless oned gen tlemen A Coroners Jury u l r 6 3 . :_has m s e in tt e: a r e e nn tur e n n e t d i of " Died from . suffocation by t he accid en tal of ta b l arr barrister at-law fall of a cone Gßa l oi s e INN,Ik.N" Christopher Good, a t.la", by were t h this e si t o en o i:ios t le h dtE. e ,yssollomfuteE.of } J_ : a s m q., es an l d Vi F lli r a e m deri F e r k esh c fi o e s l e d n , s, E s MOlafTßEDtheMbuarßbDaErßoulsNmeurucie'r of. an T t the London rei n vs e l a i r ch E a has sth a found m ,in i e ts hel 'a i y re, is altogether destitute of joi l irnals ty aged couple foundation. of WRECK OF A C ONVICT SKIP.—We have elsewhere convictgiven some ship, account off the th o e wreck, ofth e he r Waterloo, Cape f Good Hope, in pas sage out •, and have inserted a list of the names of the convicts drowned. It will be seen, that the two first are apparently, those of James Thelwell and James Skerratt, who were convicted at the assizes at Liver pool, in March last, of robbing the Blackburn coach of a portmanteau, containing a lar ge sum in notes and gold belonging to Messrs. Cunliffes, Brooks, and Co., bankers, of this town. We have reason to believe, that several others of the convicts lost are from this neighbourhood.—Manehester Guardian. The Rev. Thomas Robinson, M.A., Lord Ahno- Der's Professor of Arabic in the University of Cam bridge, and late Archdeacon of Madras, has been elected Morning Preacher of the Foundling Hospital. Canova was specially summoned to Paris in order to his being consulted by Napoleon on his gigantic project of reducing the streets of Paris to regularity and right lines, and giving them convenient breadth, " What do you advise ?" asked the Emperor. " That you leave_ it as it is, or throw it all down," said Canova. The Emperor made no reply, dismissed him, and followed his own suggestion. AN INNOVATION.--We learn that a noble Colonel of Hussars surprised the mess lately at country quar ters by walking into dinner with a " dashing white sergeant" leaning upon his arm. This was consideied by many an old campaigner as something Morse than a black bottle.
