COTTON—NEW Yon', March 16th, 1859: The desire to
operate in cotton, which we stated in our last circular as
having then become general, has been more fully developed
during the week under review ; large transactions have
taken place in all the markets in the country, and a further
advance has been established. The receipts at the ports
continue to decrease, based upon which, and the prospects
of future supplies, there is a disposition to reduce the ex-
treme estimates for crop. _ _

The news per City of Washington will have a favourable
effect on the markets, more particularly iu the South, where
throughout the season more confidence has existed towards
cotton than in this city.

in this city we have had an animated market, with large
sales, for export to Liverpool and the Continent, on specula-
tion, and a moderate amount for home consumption. The
total sales are estimated at 18,000 bales. the market closing
firmly at the annexed quotations, which are fully 14c. above
those given on the 7th inst. : Good styles of Middling and
above are scarce, and holders demand prices beyond their
relative value. The clearances for the week have been—
for Liverpool, 7,583 ; Christianstadt, 1,155 ; Bremen, 609 ;
Havre, 133 ; Marsala, 110. Total, 9,590 bales.
COTTON TRANSITU : The great activity in floating Cotton,
mentioned in our last circular as prevailing in the market,
has continued and increased during the week under review.
The daily sales have been large, and buyers have operated
with confidence ; prices have advanced fully ac per lb, and
the quantity at pNesent offering for sale is quite small. The
sales for the week have amounted to 16,000 bales. Prices
have gradually advanced, and we quote on the basis of
15-32 d freight from Nero Orleans, strict middling, 11iF to

SECOND EDITION.

NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE, TUESDAY, 9 A.M

The •Dailp News remarks that the speech of Sir John
Pakington, in reply to Sir James Graham, seems to put an
end to all chance of accommodation, and to bring matters
back to the state in which they were left by Lord Stanley's
speech on Monday week.
The Times says that after much fluctuation of opinion,
Sir J. Pakington has pledged his government to hold itself
staked on the issue of the debate ; and the Times adds:
This week we trust will decide the fate of Lord Derby's
Reform Bill.

The Morning Star says : «No one has any other opinion
than that ministers will resign office."

The Post, however, remarks that the government, obey-
ing the commands of the majority, may, if permitted, make
the bill a good one. They may resign, or they may dissolve.
The responsibility in each case must rest with them.
The Herald thinks there is still a large number of that
which is called the liberal party who remember the tradition
of fair play, and that this section will defeat the present
attempt of Lord John Russell.

BEFORE THE MASTER OF TILE ROLLS

THE IiORTITIRN TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1859

BRADBURY AND EVANS V. DICKENS AND WILLS. The
plaintiffs in this cause are the publishers and part proprietors
of Household Words, who filed this bill against Mr. Charles
Dickens and Mr. Wills for a dissolution of partnership in
that periodical. Mr. Roundell Palmer, Q.C., and Mr.
A. Smith were counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr.
Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Hobhouse for the the defendants.
Mr. Palmer said that he had to move the court on
behalf of the plaintiffs, for an injunction to restrain
the defendant, Mr. Charles Dickens, from publishing
the notice in question, or any other notice or advertisemant
announcing the discontinuance of the periodical called
Household Words, or the substitution of any periodical in
place thereof, or in succession thereto, or containing any
announcement to the same or similar effects. It appeared
that the plaintiffs were jointly interested in the periodical
in question, and on the 28th of March, 1858, entered
into an agreement for the establishment of the
same. The terms of that agreement were that
the plaintiffs, Mr. Charles Dickens, Mr. Wills, and
Mr. J. Forster, were to be and to continue joint proprietors
under certain stipulations, and as such to enjoy any profits
realised, or to bear any losses incurred in connection with
the periodical. Mr. Dickens was to have one half-part or
share, and the plaintiffs one-fourth, and Mr. Forster and
Mr. Wills one-eighth respectively. Mr. Dickens was to be
editor, and in that capacity to exercise absolute con-
trol over the literary department, and to have £5OO
a 'year, so long as he continued editor, to be paid additional
for any articles he might contribute, and to receive a parti-
cipation of the profits in proportion to his share in the
undertaking. The plaintiffs were to be the printers and
publishers, as well as general commercial managers. It was
further arranged that Mr. Forster should from time to time
contribute literary articles without any remuneration, and
Mr. Wills, in consideration of his share, should act as sub-
editor, and receive 18 a week for his services in that capacity.
It was moreover stipulated that meetings should take
place for the transaction of tho business, and that
at any special meeting two of the proprietors, in
addition to the plaintiffs, should be present. The
publication was established, and proved very success-
ful, but Mr. Forster retired, and assigned his share to
Mr. Dickens. Some time since Mr. Dicken's feelings
towards the plaintiffs became altered, and he convened
a meeting last November. He was unable to attend,
and deputed Mr Forster to represent him, and that gentle-
man proposed a resolution, which was seconded. by Mr
Wills, to the effect that the partnership should be
dissolved,' and the publication discontinued on com-
pletion of the nineteenth volume. That resolution was
protested against, and Mr. Dickens served the plaintiffs
with a formal resolution to the same effect. Mr.
Dickens then issued the announcement which it was
now sought to restrain, in which he stated that his new
work, All the Year Round would be shortly pub-
lished, that he would take with him the writers of
Household Words, and that that periodical would be discon-
tinued, and the partnership be dissolved. Previously,
however, Mr. Dickens had offered the plaintiffs £l,OOO for
their share in the periodical, which had been. refused. The
learned counsel contended that the conduct of Mr. Dickens
was most unjustifiable, and calculated to inflict a serious in-
jury on the property of the plaintiffs, who might, not-
withstanding Mr. Dickens's retirement, be enabled
to conduct Household Words with reasonable
success. Mr. A. Smith followed on the same side.
Mr. Selwyn said that Mr. Dickens was perfectly justified
in the course he had adopted by the announcement in
question. He had stated nothing that was not true, and it
concerned his personal reputation to state that the publication,
Household Words, had ceased to be his property, it would
have been a fraud on the public to let it 'be supposed that
the work came out under his control, or that he was in any
way connected with it. Now, what was the fact ? "House-
hold Words, conducted by Charles Dickens," was the
description of the work, and " conducted by Charles
Dickens," was as much a part of the title as Household Words.
Mr. Palmer : We shall not use his name. Mr. Selwyn :
The very essence of the whole thing consisted in Mr.
Dickens's name, and that gentleman had the whole control
over the literary department. His Honour : Has not an
editor exclusive control in that department ? Mr. Selwyn :
The position of Mr. Dickens was different to that of
editors under ordinary circumstances, because he could
not be dismissed by the proprietors. The advertise-
ment was carefully worded, but still the plaintiffs,
from some feelings they entertained, thought
fit to bring the case into a court. There was nothing what-
ever in the contract that prevented Mr. Dickens bringing
out a new periodical, and he called that work by another name.
His Honour : The slightest word would have
done, and if he had used " discontinued by him,"
It. would linvc been all mac was necessary.
Mr Selwyn : " Household Words, conducted by
Charles Dickens," was the title ; and it was the work so
entitled that he announced would be discontinued. His
Honour : Had Mr. Dickens added after "discontinued," in
the fourth line, "by him," or " by me," it would have
answered all the purposes. The Master of the Rolls said that
the property in such cases as this was in the title, and that he
could only consider the title to be Household Words. It was
not clear that the whole concern was so much associated
with Mr. Dickens's name as to be destroyed on his retire-
ment from it. The only complaint that could be urged
against his advertisement was, that it stated absolutely that
Household Words was to be discontinued, but he had a
right to announce that he would not continue it, and on
his undertaking to alter his advertisements, by using the
words " will be discontinued by. me," his Honour would
make no order on the motion for injunction.

Mr. Cobden was at Toronto on the 14th, and paid a visit
to the Canadian parliament on that day._ _

Sir Maurice Berkeley writes to his friends at Gloucester
that, as he claims an existing peerage, his legal advisers
inform, him he ought not to allow himself to be elected a
member of the House of Commons.

Lord Redesdale has introduced a bill into the House
of Lords, intituled, "An Act for preventing the abuse of
return tickets on Railways." His Lordship. proposes that
the fraudulent sale and transfer of excursion, double, or
return tickets shall be punished with a fine, not exceeding
(with costs) the sum of £5 ; and, in default of payment,
imprisonment with or without hard labour, for a term not
exceeding two months.
DISAPPOINTMENT.— A New Hampshire editor, recently
travelling, had his wallet abstracted from his pocket by an
adroit pickpocket, while indulging in a short nap.. The
thief was so disgusted with the result of his exploit that he
returned the plunder by express, to the address written in-
tide the wallet, with the following note :—" You miserabil
shank, hears your pockit-book. I don't keep no sich. Fur
a man dressed as well as you was to go round with a

A SCENE IN A KENTUCKY CASE.—The following scene
had taken place in a Kentucky law court : - A old political
feud has existed for some time between Thomas S. Lowe,
of Hawesville, and Cicero Maxwell, of Hartford, Kentucky,
the prosecuting attorney for that district. Mr. Lowe had
threatened to cowhide Mr. Maxwell on meeting him. On
the 2nd of March, while Mr. Maxwell was addressing the
court at Hawesville, he was interrupted by Mr. Lowe de-
nouncing him in grossly insulting language. Mr.. Maxwell
and others then fired several shots at Mr. Lowe, wounding
him in the thigh and arm, cutting off his thumb, and rid-
dling his shirt., A general fire of pistols ensued, and John
Aldridge, a friend of Mr. LoWe's, was killed, and a Mr.
Millner shot through the thigh. Mr. Lowe was committed
to gaol for protection from the mob, but on the same night
the mob broke into the gaol, seized him, and shot him dead.

LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSMITHS.—An event occurred a
few days since in a village of North East, Shropshire, of a
rather romantic character. About two years ago a pious
family took up their residence in the village alluded to, and
consisted of some very engaging younc, girls. They
had not long been there before Cupid began to shoot
his arrows at the elder of them, and to make use
of a common phrase She was "dreadfully in love."
The father, who kept a strict eye over them, soon
began to sift the affair, and when he found how the
matter stood, raised the strongest objection to the
visits of the object of his daughter's choice. No-
thing daunted, they carried on a regular corres-
pondence in secret, but the eye of the ever watchful
parent soon detected he was being outwitted, and,
consequently soon adopted the most stringent
measures to put an end to such a state of things ; the young
lady was sent from home; but absence, which "makes the
heart grow fonder" found the means of carrying on a more
direct correspondence, so the delinquent was orered home
again. The father still remained unforgiving, and verified
the old saying that " the course of true love never
did run smooth." For some time matters thus re-
mained in status qeo, when one morning recently the fair
one left home on the pretence of going out for a walk,
directing her steps for Wellington, whilst her lover preceded
her by train, and, strange to say, by the very train in which
her father was travelling to the same town on business,
and while the father was transacting business at the bank,
the daughter was led to the altar, where she pro-
nounced the irrevocable " I will," at the early age
of sixteen. They then returned to their respective homes,
without being observed by any one in particular, and it was
not found out till announced in the local papers, when the
rage of the "relentless papa," and grief of the family, can
be, in newspaper parlance, more easily imagined than
described.

CABMENS' SOIREE.
Last evening, the cab proprietors and drivers of Liver-
pool, had a soiree and public meeting in Hope Hall. A
large number took tea in the lower part of the Hall, and
at eight o'clock adjourned to the upper room, which was
well filled, there being also a number of females present.
Mr. Councillor Job occupied the chair. The meeting was
opened by praise and prayer, the latter service being offered
up by the Rev. Mr. Follons.
The Chairman said it would be observed that
he was called upon very unexpectedly to occupy the chair
that evening, in the temporary absence as he hoped of Mr.
Farnworth—(hear, hear)—for if he made his appearance
he would be most happy to vacate the chair for him. He
would, however, take the opportunity of expressing his
most cordial sympathy with this movement of which he was
not aware until that afternoon by a circular from Mr.
Matheson, and he was determined to be present to sanction
the movement. As a member of the watch committee
he was sure they would all cordially rejoice in the moral
improvement of the cabmen of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.)
If he had anything to say in the government he would en-
deavour to prevent the American mails arriving on Sunday.
(Applause.) He had been frequently annoyed at the incon-
venience of the arrangement. Not only their cabmen were
called upon to be employed, but also the clerks in the
Post-office, and the porters at railways. However he had
no control over that, and he would not occupy their time
further. He called upon the secretary—
Mr. J. Matheson then read the following statement :
"It will be remembered that at this time last year a
meeting similar to the present one was held in the Teutonic
Hall, Lime-street. It was intended merely as an expression
of goodwill towards the cardrivers of Liverpool, and was
notintended to have any special reference to the Sabbath
question. But such a feeling was manifested when allusion
was made to it that it was impossible to mistake the very
general desire that some arrangement should be made which
would relieve them, at least in some measure, from Sunday
labour. Shortly after that meeting the Coach and Car
Association was formed, and among other things which this
body proposed to watch over was the Sunday question. In
the course of the year the men have never lost sight of
the matter, and their inquiries have frequently been,
" When we are to have our Sabbath ? One of them took
the pains to write an appeal on the subject, and his com-
rades helped him to publish it by mutual subscription.
Some 500 copies were distributed. At length, about six weeks
ago, our neighbours at Birkenhead took the lead; and at a
meeting like this, over which the Rev. Mr. Knox presided,
it was announced that the car-owners of Birkenhead had
mutually agreed to withdraw from the public stands, at
least for the winter months, one-half the usual number of
cars each Sunday ; and this arrangement is now happily

in force. It is now hoped that a similar arrangement
may be immediately carried out in Liverpool, not confined
to the winter months, but applicable to the whole year. A
large proportion of the car proprietors have signed a paper
or declaration, which will now be read, and it only remains
by mutual agreement, to give it effect. It is believed that
the public will be adequately served if one-half the usual
number of cars present themselves for hire on the public
stands each Sunday; and as regards the private
stables, while the same rule cannot be strictly applied,
much may be done, and it is known that by some
much is already done, by a system of relays, to
give the drivers the same benefit. henceforward, then,
let the car-drivers look up. Muck sympathy is felt for
them in their necessarily hard toil. Let them strive to
maintain the good regard they have already to some
extent gained ; and as it is often useful to have a
rallying cry in pushing forward a great movement —while
it is conceded that the weekly Sabbath is God's gift to the
sons of toil, yet, yielding to the necessities of the
public, which are so urgent, and 'looking for what is
practicable rather than what might be set down as
theoretical—let the car-drivers' watchword be Every
alternate Sabbath. ' "
Mr. Matheson also read a declaration from the Coach
and Car Association, on Sabbath observance, bearing the
names of 52 car proprietors favourable to the allowance to
the cabmen every alternate Sabbath. Loud cheers followed
this statement. . .

Tha Rev. Mr. Birrell addressed the meeting, after which,
The Rev. Mr. Curnock made a speech, in which he re-
marked that that movement was as much for the interests
of the employers as the employed. While they endeavoured
to do a great deal for the man, they endeavoured not to do
the master any harm. Their chief object was to endeavour
to make an arrangement, in order that they might have
every other Sunday for themselves ; for he believed he was
correct in saying that there was not more work than
employed one-half the cars on the stands on Sundays.
(Hear, hear, and applause.) .
The Rev. C. W. Lawrence next addressed the meeting,
and called upon them to begin by small things, and resist
temptations, especially drink.
The Rev- Dr_ Taylor made the next speech. He spoke
of the Sabbath question, first, in a physical point of view,
and said it was impossible for a man to work seven days in
the week without undermining the constitution. He also
dealt with it in moral, social, and spiritual points of view,
and was loudly applauded.
The Rev. V. M. White next addressed the meeting. He
said they were met there for the purpose of asserting their
duty to observe the Sabbath day. He was sometimes
regarded as an extreme person, and he was afraid he would
be considered a little extreme that evening. Dr. Taylor
had asked three Sabbaths in the month, but he would ask
four Sabbaths, and sometimes five Sabbaths, in the month.
There was a law which he was bound to preach, and which
they were bound to observe and answer for at the last day.
That was, " Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."
He had no authority to ask for less than every Sunday. He
trusted it would soon be in Liverpool as it was in Edin-
burgh, where they observed every Sabbath, and where
every man who had a soul to save had an opportunity
of worshipping his God. He had watched the details of
Sabbath observance in Liverpool, and the result was,
he found that every department of pleasure, commerce, and
duty, seemed to make the Sabbath a convenience. They
had about 1,000 cabmen, and about 1,000 policemen in
Liverpool, who had no Sabbath day; about 7,000 are
employed every Sabbath day for the sale of intoxicating
drinks; more than two railway companies, with two rail-
way stations, where the sabbath was not remembered ; a
channel fleet of twelve steamers, arriving here principally on
the Sabbath morning, for the purpose of landing cattle for
the Monday's market, employing 600 persons regularly,
besides others who were connectd indirectly with this
trade. They had steamers that plied upon the river, where
they had a number of persons employed. The captain of one
of these steamers told him, that for six years he had not
set his foot within the walls of a place of worship, unless,
perhaps, for half-an-hour, when be was ohliged to leave-
to mix with everything that was loose and profane, with
other Sabbath desecrators. The rev. gentleman then
continued to encourage their men in their good object, and
concluded by saying that proprietors ought to receive
proper fares, and drivers ought to display honesty and
fidelity to their masters, and all patties with whom they
dealt. He was loudly applauded during his remarks.
Some oranges were then distributed, after which*
Mr. Andrew Gibson sang " When the Car Conies Home,"
an original song, and was heartily joined in the chorus.
The Rev. Mr. Bowden then addressed the meeting; also
The Rev. J. R. Connor briefly, and promised to give a
special service to cabmen, if they would attend, on Sabbath
evenings. - - .

The len. Mr. White said he would not allow Mr. Connor
to have all the honour, as he would be very happy also to
do the same, and give special services to the men.
Mr. Sumners (the cabman's missionary) was called upon,
and made a humorous speech. He suggested that sheds
should be erected at the principal stands in order to preserve
the men from wet, and give them convenience for havinc,
their meals. He defended the cabmen from the charge of
dishonesty, as. a body; .He appealed to the meeting
whether Sabbath work had not very much decreased since
their last meeting. This was unanimously responded to in
the affirmative by a show of hands, which was asked for.
The meeting broke up about eleven o'clock.

It is said that in the event of a dissolution, the friends of
Sir John Young, the ex-Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands, mean to rally round him once more, and
return him as the representative of the county of Cavan.
The Belfast Whig announces that Mr. W. Carey Dobbs,
M.P. for Carrickfergus, will succeed the late Mr. Martley,
as judge of the Landed Estates Court ; and adds, "we
believe the appointment will be received by professional.
men with great satisfaction."
TIIE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.—On.
Saturday afternoon a public meeting was held in Canterbury,
under the chairmanship of the Mayor, to take into con-
sideration an application from the Royal Society of Eng-
land, respecting the place to be selected for holding the

LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE-YRSTERDAY

DANGEROUS Assauvr.—James Walsh, an ill-looking
fellow, was charged with having violently assaulted John
Reddy, in a house in Paul-street. It appeared that the
complainant lodged in the same house as the prisoner, and
on Saturday night the complainant was in bed, when the
prisoner came in drunk, and took up a piece of wood, with
which he beat the man on the legs in a very severe manner.
The complainant jumped out of bed, when the prisoner hit
him a desperate blow with an iron bar on the skull, inflicting
a serious wound, which a doctor said was most dangerous.
Mr. Mansfield : Where is the doctor ? Policeman ; He is not
here. Mr. Mansfield : It is quite preposterous to bring
such a case here without the doctor, when he says a man
is dangerously wounded. Let the case stand- over until to-
mofrow, and let the doctor be here then.
