TIIE ROMANCE OF A TOMBSTONE.—It is not often
that the outs and ins of our everyday world present
such a grand work for the novelist as that disclosed
before the Court of Session last week, in a case in some
degree connected with the locality.. The Stew estates--
with the personal.,property left by the late Miss Innes
of stow, amount to the enormous value of two millions,
and form the subject of litigation at the procont I/la-
ment. It appears that the true heir must trace his
descent from a certain Thomas Simpson, who married
at lnues, and resided at Darrahil; in the parish of Bel-
helvie. This is all the parties claim. But the pursuers
have recently learnt that there was in the churchyard of
Belhelvie a tombstone recording the death of one Thomas
Simpson, sometime residing at Darrahill, and his wife
Jean Adams, but it was removed about twenty years
ago and hid somewhere in the churchyard. There were
lius, according to their statement, two contemporary
Thomas Simpsohs in Darrahill, and the tombstone is a
matter of so 'much importance, and the mutual us-
picions of the litigants so great, that both parties have
bad three persons watching the churchyard day and,
night for months past, and not much wonder, when so'
much depends upon the hidden treasure. Who hid it is
not alleged, or why it was hidden-; nor are we informed
on what authority its existence is stated. It may be sup-
posed, in a case so peculiar in its nature, which not only
involves a question of legal form on the one hand, and
of danger to the evidence on the other, but in which
the feelings of many different parties arc to some extent
involved by the search in the churchyard, the Lord
Ordinary did not decide at once, but resolved to report
to court.—Aberdeen Journal.—The ...Vorcastle- Chronicle
says : " Mr. William Tunes, of Stockton-on-Tees is one
of the claimants to the property of the late Miss Innes,
of Stow, and there is every confidence that he will be
able to support and prove in due time his rightful claim
to a share in the vast property so long under litigation."
Ai INFANT'S WARDROBE.—ShouId he succeed in per-
suadings any credulous tradesman to give him credit
during this infantile period for life, the law will exonerate
him from payment of any goods not necessary to his
social status. As to what these necessaries may be, the
courts have been from time to time at wonderful pains
to determine. As some contribution towards the legal
knowledge of our readers, we may mention that it has
been decided that nineteen coats (exclusive of regi-
mentals), forty-five waistcoats, thirty-eight pairs of
trousers, a black velvet dressing gown, and a racing-
jacket, all furnished- to-a.-young officer in the. Guards.
between October in one year and July in the next,
have not been considered to be absolute necessaries.
" There is a racing-jacket charged for," said Baron
Alderson, before whom the question was tried, " that
cannot be suitable to any degree except that of a jockey;
and if that were to be considered a necessary for a young
;gentleman, it will next be said that gambling is neces-
sary for him." "Eleven guineas for a waistcoat !" pro-
ceeds the horrified baron. " Can that be considered
necessary in any station of life ? If a person of full
lime orders these extravagant things, he must -pay for
them. If a person of full age be extravagant enough
and absurd enough to order a coat to be made of
gold, and it was made and delivered to him, beyond'
all question he must pay for it; but with, minors
the law is otherwise." Horses and gigs, too, have
been decreed not to be necessities of undergraduate
life ; nor can a tradesman, says my Lord Ahinger,
'recover for dinners, soda-water, lozenges, oranges,
and jellies supplied- -to -a. -young gentleman of the.
universities. On the other hand, however, a horse
'has been considered by Lord Denman a' necessary for
a 'chemist's apprentice, who had been recommended to
take horse exercise. And the other day (as a balance
in favour of cap and gown) we were gratified to find
that portraits of ,I)r. Donaldson and the Dean of Ely
were admitted to 'be necessaries of an undergraduate,
son of a distinguished member of the Evangelical Alli-
ance. There is also extant a decision of Lord Ellen-
borough's very applicable to the present day, (and highly
satisfactory, no doubt, to the tailors of this age,) in
which he held that regimentals furnished to an infant
who was a member of a volunteer corps were to be con-
sidered necessaries. For the rest, this doctrine of neces-
saries applies only to goods supplied to the infant him-
self. Should he be a husband and father, he will be
liable for necessaries supplied to his wife and family.—

MONETARY AND. COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening•

The Cotton Market to-day was•of fair average
character. The sales, though .not of great ex-
tent, were effected' readily—amounting in all to.
about 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were for export,
or taken on speculation, without change in prices.
Concerning the week's business, Messrs. George
Holt and 'Co., in their circular, say—The Cotton
market throughout the week has been quite
steady, firmly supporting the quotations given in
our last circular ; indeed, in some instances, a
slight advance upon those rates has been paid for
the " middling" qualities of American, but this
is hardly sufficiently general to necessitate any
alteration tin our quotations. The better quali-
ties are 12011, abundant, and are offering at rela-
tively moderate prices. We resume our quotations,
placing " middling " Uplands, 64d, ;
6.13-16 d. ; Orleans, 6-3 d. The committee of
brokers qUote " fair " Uplands, 7 d. ; Mobile, 77,d..
Orleans, 72d. Surats have been in pretty good
demand at previous prices. The demand for
Brazils has been good, but the inquiry has been.
freely - supplied, and prices are not- -quotably
affected. Egyptian Cotton hai been in ' fair
demand at steady prices. There is little of
novelty in the American accounts ; the receipts
continue on a very large scale, the total increase
upon the corresponding period in last year, now
amounting to nearly 270,000 bales. 1,890 Ame-
rican are reported to have been taken on specu-
lation ; 6,390 American, 4,Blo:Surat, 200 Madras,
and 30 Yernam for export ; so that the deliveries
to the trade for the week have been about 53,700
'erwin' bales. , •

In the Liverpool Share Market the tone *was
light and a little uncertain ; but after several
fluctuations the market closed steadily. Through-
out the week there has been an improved feeling,
and on the whole an advance of to 1 per cent.
was established in prices of current Stocks. The.
transactions of the day included Birkenheads at
77 ; Great Western,. 76-1- 1 ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 102 y 1 2 I ; London and North
Western, 99i I- ; Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln, 391 ; Okford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton, 361; South Eastern, 2511-16-3-16; Grand
.Trunk of Canada, 101 7-16; Great Luxembourg
• constit, 3-16 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln 6 per cent, pref., 127:; Liverpool and
London Fire and Life InsUrance, .71 p. ;. Royal
Insurance, 4 p. ; Exchange . -Buildings, 295
Illinois Central, 40 d. ; Great Ship, 13. -
The General and Colonial Produce Markets
have been moderately firm., Tea has met with a
consumptive demand, at price,s .which were well
sustained. There has been a good inquiry for
Coffee of export qualities ; but, owing to-the bulk
of recent arrivals haVing been sold, the transac-
tions have not .been extensive. The market fOr.
sugar has not shown: much animation during the
week. Sales were dull, but prices were main-
tained. In Rum no alteration has been reported
for 4he week.
For Ships' Stores there has not been much
activity of 'demand. Beef has been less saleable,
and prices have slightly declined. A considerable
business has been done in old Pork ; new is slow
of sale. Fine Cheese continues to bring good
prices, but only first qualities are accepted.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.

Friday Evening.

The Market for English Securities was heavy
throughout the day, and prices were -unfavour-
ably affected, principally, it is believed, through
a fresh deCline in Frenchilentes., Consols opened
with moderate steadiness, bUt 'shortly assumed
cations of weakness, and are now quoted 954 to
and 94'1 for February. Bank-Stock dealt in at
2281 ; Reduced Three - per Cents., 951 s ; India
Debentures, 984; Ditto, Enforced Paper, 97 ;
Ditto, ditto, Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 104; and
Exchequer Bills, 325. and 295. prem., large and
small. - New Indian Five per Cent. Loan is marked
10=1-1 to as ex div. Canada New Loan is quoted
1L to 2 pm. Turkey Bank Shares are at t to I,pm.
In the English Railway Share Market business
was very inactive, but there was rather more
steadines,s in prices. Lancashire and Yorkshire
• are Ito 1 per cent. 'better. London and North
Western have improved a fraction.
The Market for Foreign Secnritiel has been
dull; with no important change in current values.
Mexican are rather flat, but other varieties are
moderately well supported. Original Turkish
Six per Cents. have been dealt in at 79, and the
New Sixes at 66:1, 651, and 66k. •
French Rentes at ten minutes past twelve
were quoted 68 15, but subsequently 68 25.

The following appeared in a portion of our
impression of yesterday :

THE MONEY MARKET.

The funds opened with some heaviness, at a reduction
of k to I per cent., a little uncertainty' being manifested
as to the interpretation to be put upon the retirement of
Count' Walewski. from the French ministry :. they re-
covered in the afternoon, and closed nearly as high as
-yesterday. Business was dull. In the other depart-
ments of the Stock Exchange there was an entire
absence of animation. The supply of money in the
discount market was more liberal, and in exceptional
instances transactions took place at a fractional reduc-
tion from the *Bank minimum. There were 'no opera-
tions,in bullion at, the Blnk. The arrivals of gold are
taken for exportation.7-.Daily News.
The Paris news of the appointment of M. Thouvenel,
as Minister of Foreign Affairs, in-place of Count Walew-
ski, caused funds to open heavily this morning, since,
although the change is regarded as a testimony in favour
of the alliance of England and- France, it appears to in-
dicate the existence of complications on the Italian
question sufficiently serious to demand sudden and
prompt measures ; but the general investments of the
public steadily continue, and these, combined with the
satisfactory feeling entertained in all quarters regarding
the commercial prospects of the country, produced a
recovery, although the French prices by telegram
shoied that the latent disquiet at the Bourse is un-
diminished. The advices from the River Plate by the
present mail have caused a further rise to-day in Buenos
Ayres Bonds. The railway market was dull at'the com-
mencement of business, but afterwards rallied and closed
generally with a firm appearance:—Trines.
