legal objection which we have mentioned as having been
raised on Saturday, it was agreed to enter a nonsuit, with
leave to the plaintiff to move that the verdict be entered for
them.
THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY V. GLIDSTONH—Mr. Jones
opened the pleadings in this case, which was an action of
ejectment bronght by the Marquis of Salisbury to recover
possession of lands, in the manor of West Derby, held by
Mr. Robertson Gladstone, of Liverpool. Mr. Manesty, Q.C.,
stated the case. He said he had the honour to appear as
of counsel for the plaintiff,- the Marquis of Salisbury, who
brought an action against Mr. Robertson Gladstone, in point
of form, to recover a certain portion of land, but in truth
and in fact to try a question of right betereen himself and
the copyhold tenants of the manor of West Derby. It was
in form to recover the land, but merely in form; for it had
been agreed between the parties that, in the event of a
verdict being given in favour of the plaintiff, the judgment
which would proceed upon that verdict would not be enforced,
to take the land. The Marquis of Salisbury was thelord'of the
manor of West Derby; which was a very extensive manor in
the neielboUrlibod, of Liverpool. The name of West Derby
was one of many manors formerly within the great lordship of
Derby. The only subject of ennniry would, however, be
the manor now known as that of West Derby, The Mar,
quis of Salisbury, as lord of that manor, insisted that the,
copyhold tenants within the manor had not the right to do
what, in this instance, it was asserted that they had a right
to do. Mr. Robertson Gladstone, whose name, the learned
counsel observed, he needed only to mention 'in order to
introduce him to them at once, was one of
the copyhold "tenants, of the manor, and his copy-
hold tenement was the land in question. The principle
'of manorial tenure was that the tenements were held by
what laviyers termed a copy of the court rule. In former
times, copyholders were mere tenants at the will of the lord
of the manor ; but they succeeded step by step in acquiring
a large interest than a mere tenancy at the will of the lord,
andithey obtained usually an interest:to the extent, that they
were still tenants of the estate at the will of the lord, but
according to the custom of the manor. The copyholders,
therefore, if they conformed to the custom of the
manor, were not liable, although still called
tenants at will, to have their estates taken
from them, provided they kept within the limits of the
bounds of their rights as ascertained and established by the
custom of the manor. The subject of the present action
was an attempt upon the part of a copyholder holding, as
Mr. Gladstone did, his tenement under the will of the
lord, and, according to the custom of the manor, to set up a
right which he would say advisedly went beyond the length
of any claim of which he had ever had any experience
The act which Mr. Gladstone insisted he had a right to de
was to take the clay, of which there was a vast quantity in
that manor; and of a most valuable character—to take the
clay which formed a part of the actual substance of the
soil, and to convert it to his own purposes, not being those
of repairs within the extent of his tenement. Mr. Glad-
stone insisted that he, having the limited and restricted
tenure which had been mentioned, had, nevertheless, a
right to break the surface of the manor, to take the whole
of the clay, to make it into bricks, and thus to turn his
estate into a brickyard, not for the purpose of building
- upon the estate, or of doing anything to improve the land
which belonged to the manor, but for the purpose of sellhig
the brick that'he might take bodily the soil which belonged
to the lord of the manor, that he might convert it into
bricks, to sell those bricks wherever and to whomsoever he
pleased. Mr. Manesty contended that no such right what-
ever belonged to a copyhold tenement, and that the defen-
dant in this instance had, by transgressing the limits of his
power forfeited his right to the manor. Under these cir-
cumstances, the action was brought to decide the question
of right. The evidence upon the part of the plaintiff was
simply the document under which Mr. Gladstone
obtained possession of the land, and the admission
of his claim to make and sell bricks. Mr. James,
Q.C., who, with Mr. Mellhuish, appeared for the defence,
contended that the claim of the plaintiff was both groundless
and unjust, and that when the jury should have heard the
case, they could come to no other conclusion than that the
Marquis of Salisbury, when he insisted upon such a claim,
he should be able to show that from time whereof the
memory of man was not to the contrary, the copyholders of
that manor had been used and accustomed to do that which
the Marquis of Salisbury now insisted, he 'was entitled to
consider Mr. Gladstone's estate as forfeited, for doing.
He denied that this was at all an unprecedented case, and
reminded the jury that it was not disputed, that copyholders
had in various cases the right to dig into the bowels of the
earth for coals and other minerals. Was it, therefore, so
very absurd to- suppose that, withont at all going into the
bowels of the earth, a copyholder might have a right to take
and use the clay of the surface which was so much more
accessible ? He contended tnat the custom in the North
theof Ensgoulatnhd

ng
in Cumberland, in which Mr. James claimed, the
right of digging for alabaster upon copyhold land belpuging
to Mr. Aghonby, the lord of the manor, 'in which the for-
mer was successful with' thejury, and also with the Court
of Chancery. In 1824 the' Marquis of Salisbury became the
lord of this manor, and during the 33 years which followed
up to 1857, he had never dreamed Of disputing the right
upon the part of the copyholders, which was all the time
being exercised. Mr.' Gladstae, in 1056, purchased the
'property in question, at a vast price, upon the faith, as it
had been bought and -sold in various instances before, that
the clay, with which he well knew the estate to abound,
would, when pnrchased, be his, to use at his sole will and
pleasure. Having completed the purchase, he at once
entered into arrangements to make bricks, and the arrange-
ment was, to a considerable extent, carried into effect. It
was upon the 4th of August, 1857, that he first received a
notice from the noble plaintiff, denying his right to take the
soil, and calling upon him to desist from doing so. it would
be easy to imagine the astonishment which this notice
created among the whole of the copyhold tenants,
to the number of some hundreds, that the right
which had been exercised openly up to that mo-
ment was to be disputed. Under these circumstances,
the defendant resisted the action. Mr. James stated that
he should be able to show that in the rolls various of the
conveyances from a very distant period, prepared by the
lords' own officers, and regularly recognised by the lords,
conveyed the right to cut turf, to take stone, coats, and
other minerals, and to dispose of them even for merchant-
able purposes. He should be able to show that in the time
of the predecessors of the present Marquis
,of Salisbury, as
well as in his own time, the right of making bricks had
been openly recognised, and, that in one place two millions
of bricks had been made every year. He contended that
the custom as regarded' copyholders in the north-west of
England, was much more extensive in its character than in
other parts of the conntry, and that the fact of the present
plaintiff never having, for thirty-three years, attempted to
interfere with this right was evidence in itself that he did
not believe he was entitled to do so. On these and other
grounds the learned counsel contended that the present was
an unjust and unreasonable attempt to interfere with a
recognised an& long-established custom, for the purpose of
cndeavonring to obtain an increased revenue from the land.
Mr. Manesty appealed to his lordship to say, before
evidence for the defence should be' called, whether upon the
grounds opened there was any answer to the case for the
plaintiff. A lengthened legal argument took place between
Mr. Manesty and Mr. Ellis, Q.C., on the one side, and Mr.
James and Mr. Mellhuish on the other. His Lordship left
the court and consulted Mr. Justice Willes upon the point,
after which he returned, and said he had had an opinion of
his own before leaving the court, but he thought is was to
be regretted that so much time should be wasted in
inquiring into a custom which in law could not be
supported. But it seemed to him before, and he was now
confirmed in that opinion, that there was a very manifest
distinction between an unlimited right in a waste, and an
unlimited right in proprio solo. He was therefore clearly
of opinion that the custom relied on by the defence in this
case, if it had in point of fact prevailed, was a perfectly
valid and unassailable custom. The calling of witnesses
for the defence was therefore proceeded with. Mr.
James Holme was examined by Mr. Mellhuish,
and deposed that his father occupied, from Oct.,
1822, land in the Manor of West Derby for • brick-
making ; the land was occupied 'by himself also, and his
brothers ; the last rent paid for it was in October, 1848 ; it
was used for making bricks, and selling them ; on an aver-
age, a million of bricks was* made by them per year ; on
-another 'portion of land, close to that first rae,nti9ned, wit-
ness and his brother made bricks from 1846 tog 1850. They
made nearly two millions of bricks' there in 1846. The
bricks they made were sold publicly; there was no secrecy
about it. Also held land in London-road by copyhold, and
made bricks there up to 1352, about a million a year ;,
never heard about the consent of the lord of the manor being
required ; never received any obstruction to the making a
them. To Mr. Manesty : Is perfectly aware that the great
bulk of the bricks there made went off the manor. Mr.
James Plnmpton deposed that he was the owner of the land
first referred' to by Mr. Heinle, and that it had been owned
by his ancestors for many generations. A person named
Naylor succeeded Messrs. Holmes in making bricks there ;
no license was ever required from the lord of the manor for
making bricks there. Robert Westmore, bailiff of the 'West
Derby court, deposed that he knew most of the copyhold
tenants of the manor, and that all the tenants marked
upon the map produced were, to his own knowledge,
with one exception, copyhold. Has known the manor all
his life ' - the copyhold tenants have been in the habit Of
taking the clay, making bricks of it, and selling it when-
ever they pleased, without any obstruction; can remember
distinctly, as far back as 1814, and never heard of any claim, I
such as the present, from the lord,' of the manor until 1857.
Mr. Ambrose Lace, Mr. Palgrave Simpson, and other
witnesses were examined with reference to a number
of documents, from 1732 down to 1847, being
leases of the coyhold • tenements,. conveyiag leave
to take away and make merchantable minerals,

gallop away with the goods —a very tidy load. There was
little goods left in the shop. In reply to Mr. Brett, he said
he kept a beerhouse, and the horrid police got him fined.
He had not paid the fine yet, as it is not due. Has been
bound over to keep the peace. Is not a bit of a lawyer,
nor does he give any advice in law. William Parrott, a
shoemaker, who lives opposite the shop of plaintiffs, saw
Anderton put out of the shop, and it was then shut up.
He proved the breaking into the house by some one. This
was the plaintiffs' case. Mr. Brett then, addressed the jury
and repudiated the case, as opened by the other side, and
said he was afraid that the parties on both, sides had had
lawyers, and that the lawyers, as they sometimes did, gave
their clients very bad advice. (Laughter.) His
Lordship said, Mr. Brett did not come under
that class of lawyers. Mr. 'Brett went 'through
the case and commented on the evidence, and contended
that the defendants had no means when they set up in
business, and that they were to have paid out of their daily
sales, to the defendants, instead of• three months' credit.
He argued that the transfer of the goods from Spekeman to
Mr. Rutherford, for the payment, was quite legal. His
Lordship said that was a bargain that would hold. The
other question was, whether £5 was sufficient compensation
. for breaking into the shop, and for the quantity of goods
taken over the amount Of the invoice made out by Spekeman
to. Ratherford.. Mr. Brett went, at length, to address the
jury, and rtfien called ,Mr. Samuel 'Rutherford, one of the
defendants, who said he recollected taking away the goods,
but, at the same, did not' think he took anything but the
goods mentioned in the invoicelmade clit by him for Speke-
man, but he afterwards found there-was about' 6s worth
of orange pekoe tea. In reply to Mr. Pickering ,he' said,
he is not now in partnership with Mr. Tyndall; he has
made an assignment of his property to' his creditors about
a fortnight ago, and although some people would call that
insolvency, he would not. He thought he could say he
was worth 20s in the pound when he made the assignment.
He was cross-examined at great length as to the quantity
of goods taken away by him, and h e persisted in saying
he only took what goods that had been invoiced to
'him. The goods were sold since, and he supposed
they were entered in the books. To Mr. Brett, he
said, Spekeman told him in the morning that
he had no money at all—that there was 6d. or Bd. in the
shop. He did not open the drawers, nor see them opened.
He admitted having Mr. Gray, an attorney with him, as lie
wished to be guided by a lawyer. To the Court : He said
the exchange of invoices was mutual. Mr. Anderton was
examined, and his evidence went to show that the invoices
were exchanged, and that Spekeman asked him to let.the
goods remain until evening., and to leave witness in posses-
sion of them. He denied that he took any money out of
the till, as there were only a few coppers in it. He was
subject to a long cross-examination, and said he was falsely
convicted of felony and suffered 18 months imprisonment. One
gentleman was so certain of his inocence, that he lent him
£9OO to go into business after it. Mr. Brett then spoke to
evidence for the defence, and Mr. Pickerinc, having replied
for, the. plaintiffs, His Lordship summeeup, going very
minutely into the whole case, and said it was a question for
the jury to say, if the £5 lodged in court was sufficient to
compensate the plaintiffs for breaking into the shop, and
taking an excess of goods over the bargain. The jury
found for the plaintiffs, £l5 damages, besides the £5 lodged
in court, and costs. •

BENNION v. HOLGATE.--FALSE IMPRISONMENT AND
MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.—Messrs. Deighton and Overend
appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Pickering, Q.C., and
Wheeler were for the defendant. It was an action for false
imprisonment and malicious prosecution. The declaration
contained two counts, for assault and imprisonment, and
the other for malicious prosecution. Mr. Overend stated
the case, and it appeared that the plaintiff was a scientific
mechanic, and was formerly in partnership with a person
named 011 is, and that they rented premises from the
defendant, who was in the same business. The defendant
wanted the premises, and then the plaintiff went
into the service of the defendant. In August last, there
was a strike amongst the workmen, and the plaintiff left
the defendant. Previous to that, Bennion was sent by the
defendant to London, to the Bank of England, to do some
work, and he took some tools, as a matter of course, with
him. After the plaintiff had left the service of the defen-
dant, he went into business on his own account. Previous
to that, the defendant had done some work for Messrs.
Turner and Dennett, but it was not satisfactory, and the
plaintiff was sent for, to put the work in proper order.
Whether this created any ill-blood in the mind of the
defendant, he (Mr. 0.) could not tell. Two months after
the plaintiff left the defendant, he charged the plaintiff with
stealing. some tools, and he was locked up and, charged
before Mr. Preston, who was then sitting as magistrate.
He was sent for trial, but at once acquitted. The tools
were not worth more than a shilling, and it would be
proved that the tools belonged to the plaintiff, and for the
injuries thus inflicted ui. him, Le now mount substantial
damages at the hands of the jury. Detective officer Scott
was then called, and said he knew the parties. About the
30th of September, he called and saw Mr. Holgate, who
told him. he had received 'information that Bennion
had some of his tools, and that he had missed a great
deal from: the shop. He wished him to • see his
workmen, and saw Mr. Holgate , He asked,
had he found any of the tools? but he had not. He had
not found out where Bennion lived then, but Subsequently
did And out where he lived. Arranged with one of Mr.
Reigate's boys to meet him near Bennion's house. He
searched the house, and found the tools now produced. The
witness went on to detail the facts as mentioned. He said,
Holgate told him Bennion was a dangerous fellow, and
asked witness what he thoughi of it? The plaintiff was
sent for trial, and was acquitted.- To Mr. Pickering : The
witness said it was in -consequence of what he heard that
he made inquiry about the case. Said to Mr. Holgate
it was a clear case of felony. The instrnctions I got
from Mr. Holgate and his men that he arrested him, but
Mr. Holgate did not give him directions. Mr. Holgate,
was not, at the police-office when. I charged Bennion. To
Mr. Overend, the witness said the defendant had told him
the plaintiff had stolen an iron shaft from one of his men,
coming from Bootle. James Bennion, the plaintiff, was
then examined, and proved the case as- opened, and swore
the three tools in question were his own. He was tried
and acquitted on the charge. He was about to enter into
a partnership with a Mr. Ireland at that time, but he
refused to have anything to do with him after that.
He had a green grocers shop in Brownlow-hill, and
he suffered from that, as people would not give him credit.
The trial cost him £l3 2s 6d. Cross-examined by M'r.
Pickering : I was discharged in August by defendant.
Knows a person named Dawson, and remembers him taking a
small steam engine to Bootle and saw:an iron shaft then, but
don't know if it was returned. The charge book from the
bridewell was put in as read. Mr. Redmond, a reporter,
was called to prove that Mr. Holgate admitted, in the
Police-court, to Mr. Campbell, who cross-examined Mr.
Holgate then, that he admitted he had given
instructions to Scott to take Bennion into custody.
Mr. Pickering then addressed the jury on behalf of
the defendant, contending that there was reasonable and
probable cause for the conduct of the defendant, and not a
malicious prosecution. Mr. Holgate had missed tools, and
he had acted with the greatest caution. He missed the
things, and, from the inquiry made by Scott amongst the
workmen, Bennion was suspected. He contended that Scott
had made the charge, and that Mr. Holgate had no alter-
tive but to go on with the case. He called William Smith,
an apprentice with Mr. Holgate, who said he remembered
going with Scott to Bennion's, where they found the
tools now produced. He swore they were his
master's property. John Danson, a carter, was called,
to prove that Bennion took a shaft of a steam engine out of
a cart coming from Bootle. This shaft formed part of the
original charge. In reply to Mr. Overend, he said there
was another man with Bennion at the time. The witness
admitted that he was once charged with embezzlement, but
not sent for trial. His Lordship said nothing wrong should
be imputed to the man, when punishment did not follow the
charge. Mr. Holgate, the defendant, was then examined.
He stated that he dismissed the complainant; and' was in-
formed that some of his property was missed. He said
Scott's evidence was substantially correct, and said he cau-
tioned Scott as to how ho proceeded in the case. He felt
certain that at the police court, he did not say to Mr.
Campbell, the attorney, that lie did not give authority to Scott
to arrest the plaintiff. To Mr. 0 hrend :he said he had
given Scott directions what to do in the whole affair ; he
could not now swear to the tools, though he believed ney
were his. He knew the plaintiff was working for Tarnerand
Dennett; some four of the men left with the plaintiff.
Mr, Pickering' then summed up on the part of the defendant,
when Mr. reverend replied on the part of the plaintiff. His
Lordship then summed up the whole case, and commented
on the evidence as he went on. The jury found a verdict
for plaintiff, £l5 on the first count and costs.
The court was then adjourned at nearly seven o'clock to
this morning, at nine.
KENNEDY V. CHAPMIN.—In this case, which was heard
oa Saturclay, the jury gave verdict for the plaintiff, da-
mages £27 16s. 5d., and not for the defendant, as stated in
our paper of yesterday:_'

MONK v. trToN:---In this case, which was tried on
Saturday, the verdict was for the plaintiff. By mistake we
stated In our impression of yesterday that it was for the
defendant.

Mr. Justice Byles entered 'court at nine o'clock this
morning, and proceeded with the hearing of Special Jury
causes.
MACDONALD T. LONOBOTTOM. —This case was resumed.
Mr. James addressed the jury for the defence, contending
that if the plaintiff had sent the wool by steamer, it might
have reached Liverpool in a few days, but having been sent
in a sailing vessel, it took eighty days, a period so unreason-
able as to render it impossible that Mr. Longbottom could
accept it. The jury found for the plaintiff, but upon the

marl, clay, gravel, or sand, &c. It was stated,
however, that in the greater proportion of instances con-
tained in the rolls minerals, &c., were not specified. This
closed the case for the defence. Mr. Manesty then said he
proposed to pnt in a number of documents containing a "cus-
tomary " of the manor, and writings shewing presentments
and orders relating to the taking of stones and turf off f"
manor. The learned counsel on either side having
the jury, his Lordship was about to sum up, wien the
foreman observed that they had already agreed ,upon their
verdict. The jury found for the defendant. Ar. Manesty
tendered a bill of exceptions to his Lordshir s ruling, with
regard
to the validity of the custom existg• adpssed
The Court then rose.

LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—YESTERDAY.
BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.
Ass/arm—James GArely was charged by officer 833, with
committing an assault upon Joseph Liddell. It would
appear, tiat on Saturday night, Liddell was standing in
Byrom-street, when the prisoner came up, and without one
word, struck Liddell and knocked him down. Fined in
£5 or two months imprisonment.
BEGGINI IMPOSTOR.-40h11 Morgan, dressed as a.soldier,
was brought up by detective-officer M'Cullugh, charged with
having presented a begging petition to several persons,
solieitingalms. M'Cullugh said, that he was ordered by
Major Greig to watch the prisoner as he was one of the
most notorious beggars in Liverpool. On Saturday he saw
the primer go to the minister's house in the Cemetary, and
he called there and found that he had presented a petition
for aid, saying that he was a 'discharged soldier, with only
8d pension a day, and he had a wife and four children to keep,
and they were starving. The prisoner was committed for
a month, with hard labour.
A BREWER'S DRA.YAIAN IN TROUBLE.—Robert Linsford,
a brewer's drayman, was chared with causing the death of
John Fallows, driver of a gingerbeer shandry. It would
appear that on Saturday afternoon, about half-past two
o'clock, a coal cart was standing in Park-lane, opposite St.
Michael's Church. The prisoner's cart, and the deceased's
shandry were in close proximity, and Linford took hold of his
leaders head, and attempted to pass the ginger beer shandry,
and the street being so narrow at that point the three carts
got locked together, and the shandry was overturned, the
brewers cart, going, over Fallows, and killing him on the spot.
Mr. Mansfield said that it was evident the prisoner did
not use proper caution, and he had no alternative but to
commit him on a charge of manslaughter.

The uncertainty which attached all day to the course
intended to be pursued by the Government caused a
feeling of gloom to hang over the London Stock
Exchange all day. This, taken in connection with
the fact that the foreign news received contained
nothing of an additional assuring character, caused
Consols to decline, which they did to the extent of
about one-eighth per cent., and closed heavily at a
decline. At noon the quotations was 951, and at the
final close the top price was 95g.
The London Market for Railway Shares was also
heavy, and lower prices were accepted where sales
were made. The following were the final closing

AUSTRALIA.-Freights have been very languid all the
past month, and the advices per Overland Mail, received on
Saturday last, have not tended to improve them. The re-
gular liners, however, continue to receive good cargoes,
though at very irregular rates ; and the engagements for
Melbourne for measurement goods can be made on easier
terms both to the Bay and Wharf. The arrival of the next
mail is anxiously looked forward to, in the hope of its bring-
ing improved accounts, which, if the case, together with the
more favourable prospects of the continuance of peace and
cheapness of money, a healthy and enlarged business may
again be expected. Our to-day's quotations are :-To Hob-
son's Bay, for fine goods, 40s ; earthenware, 35s to 37s 6d
per ton measurement ; iron, 35s ; other weight, 35s to 40s
per ton weight ; to the Wharf 5s per ton additional. To
Sydney, for fine goods, 40s ; earthenware, hardware, &c.,
35s to 40s per ton measurement ; salt, 40s to 42s 6d per
ton weight. To Adelaide• there is very little going, and
freights nominally 40s per ton measurement, 35s per ton
weight. UNITED STATES.-We have little or no change in
froighfo to notice, oyroopt fot Now Otloano, Ivliieli are ge-
nerally higher, at this season. During the last few days a
business has been maintained, and in some instances a slight
advance obtained ; we, however, do not anticipate its con-
tinuance, but rather a downward tendency, a large number
of cottin ships.from the southern ports now fully due.
It appears by the advices received . to-day that
the positiqn of Monetary and Commercial affairs in
New York remain much the same as in this
country. _An abundant supply and a limited demand
are still ifs leading features. Trade is 'slowly inf-
proving, but the increasing requirements of the
mercantile community have not yet created any ma-
terial influence. It 'is singular to notice, also, that
speculation is quite as much repressed as in London
or Paris, and that Stocks and Railway dividends
attract very little attention,
The steamer Salsette arrived at Suez on the 27th
March, with dates to Feb. 17 from Melbourne. The
Panther, with the light portion of the Australian
and Bombay mails, reached Marseilles this morning,
and the letters will be delivered in London on
Wednesday morning.
It is understood that the increase of upwards of a
million in the " government securities " shown in the
Bank return just published, is occasioned by the
transfer to the Bank of the second million of Ex-
chequer Bonds falling payable in 1862. It will be
remembered that in anticipation of the arrival at
maturity of the 2,000,0001 of bonds due the sth May,
1858, an arrangement was come to between the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer and the Bank, by which the
latter agreed to take immediately 1,000,0001 of new
bonds redeemable in 1862, and the remaining
1,000,0001 at an interval of a twelvemonth, in the
event of the Treasury requiring the accommodation.
The rate of interest agreed upon was 31 per cent per
annum.

The withdrawals of gold from the Bank on Satur-
day for exportation, represented the large sum of
112,0001, making an aggregate of 172,0001 since the
date of the last return. The 58,2001 by the Water
Nymph from Melbourne, has been taken for the
Continent, and the 87,8001 by the Copenhagen is
expected to follow on Monday.
Considering that this is Saturday, the demand for money
in commercial channels was unusually active,. partly in
preparation for the 4th of the month. The terms generally
current are equal to those of the Bank. The withdrawals
of gold from the Bank to-day for exportation represented
the large sum of £112,000. The Funds were steady during
the greater part of the day, but towards the close some
heaviness was observable, partly owing to the ministerial
crisis. At St. Petersburg the exchange on London has
relapsed to 36f.—.Daily News City Article, Saturday
Evening.
The English Funds opened steadily this morning, and
remained without alteration until the afternoon, when there
was a reaction of it, principally attributable to the
accounts from France of the urgent continuance of offensive
preparations ; such preparations_ can have no purport ;
duplicity is being practiced. The Associated Powers being
now in a position to protect the interests of justice on all
sides, there can be no necessity for extroardinary individual
efforts by any one of them. In the Discount Market, in
preparation for the 4th, there was an active demand, at the
Bank minimum. The precise amount of specie to be
despatched to the East, by the mail steamer on the 4th, is
£956,773, of which £16,921 is in gold, and the remainder in
silver.—Times City Article, Saturday Evening.
