MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, including 3,000 American taken
for export and on speculation. The market closed with
an upward tendency. The sales comprised 8,000 Ame-
rican, 550 Pernam and Maranham at sd. to 7d., 600
Egyptian at sid. to 7/-1, 600 Surat at 3id. to 4id., and
100 Sea Island at ls. lid. to Is. sd. per lb.—ln Railway
Shares a good business was done.
The number of gallons of proof spirits distilled
in the United Kingdom was last year 24,543,657, ac-
cording to a Parliamentary return out this morning,
and of this 5,868,041 gallons were produced from malt
only, 18,272.773 gallons from malt and other grain
mixed, and 402,843 from sugar or molasses with nn-
malted grain.
Accounts from Havanna', dated the end of last month,
refer thus unfavourably to the prospects of the crops:—
" The western end of the island has been visited with
continued and heavy rains during the past fortnight,
which have put a stop to sugar grinding, and will conti
nue to interrupt it for some days to come. This cause
may shorten the crop ten or fifteen per cent. from what
it would hare been under more favourable circumstances.
There is considerable talk now that the yield will fall
300,000 boxes short of last year; but I am inclined to
think that the estimate is too high, and that sugars can
be purchased a month benco lower than now. Owing,
however, to the bad accounts from the country, prices
have been firm and well sustained during the last fort-
night, without advancing; the sales have been limited,
and consequently freights are not readily obtained, and
rates have declined. Exchanges have stiffened some-
what. The market for American produce is without
animation, and no change can be noted in the quotations
of a fortnight since.
" The exportation or, country produce from this port
to date are as follows:—Of the exports this month, there
went to the United States 24,451 boxes sugar, 23,730
arrobas coffe, 5,982 M. segars, 49,920 lbs. tobacco, and
3,433 hhds. molasses. The exports of sugar and mo-
lasses from Matanzas from the Ist to the 27th instant,
and previously this year, were, to the United States,
29,541 boxes sugar, and 25,300 hhds. molasses.
" Freights—Great Britain, 2/, to 21. 10s. ; Mediterra-

WALKER V. TEE GUARANTEE SOCIETY.

This was an action on the case brought by the plain-
tiff as a member of a building association, to recover
1701., which it was alleged the Guarantee Society bad
become liable to pay under the following somewhat sin-
gular circumstances:—lt appeared that a person named
Jones had peen the treasurer of the building associa-
tion, and the Guarantee Society had become his sureties.
Some time ago, subscriptions to the amount of 1701. were
paid into his hands, and it would have been his duty to
pay the money into the bank the next day. On his way
home, however, he was garrotted and robbed of every far-
thing of the money; and as he was not in a
condition to make good the loss the Guarantee Com-
pany were called upon to do it for him, but they refused
to do anything of the sort, and the present action wet,
the result of the refusal. At tha trial a verdict was
found for the defendants, and Mr. Knowles, Q. C , hav-
ing subsequently moved for a rule to enter up judgment
for the plaintiff non obstante veredicte, the Court now
gave judgment refusing the rule, being of opinion that
under the circumstances of the case the treasurer was
not liable at common law to make good the loss, and
therefore ho could have been at no default for which hie
securities could be held responsible.
Rule refused accordingly.

EXCHEQutit.-(THIS DAY.)
EX PARTE IN THE MATTER 07 E JENNINGS, ATTORNEY.
Mr E JAMES said he was instructed by Mr. WIB.
Seymour Blackstone, M.P. tor Walingford, to move for
a rale calling upon Mr. Edward Jennings, an attorney,
to show cause why he should not give at, account of the
several slims of 2,0001., 200/, and 501., which ho had
received on account of Mr. Blackstone. The Learned
Counsel moved on the affidavit of Mr. Blackstone, who
stated that he employed Mr. Jennings, in 1845, to raise
some money for him, and gave him a bill of sale of his
furniture and property in Albemarle-street, and at his
seat in Oxfordshire. Subs( quently the above sums were
advanced by a Mr. Dutton, who paid them over to Mr.
Jennings on account of Mr. Blackstone, and they were
to be applied for the purpose of recovering back certain
bills which had been fraudulently obtained from 111 r.
Blackstone. The' bill of costs of Mr. Jennings was
t
taxed by an order of Mr. Baron Platt, but in it no credit
was given for the money, and his client was anxious to
know how it had been disposed of.—Rule granted.

MIDDLbSEX SJSSIO
(THIS DAY.)
David Cooper, 20, Henry Hurst, 25, George Strange,
22, and Thomas Massey, 25, brickmakers, were indicted
with murderously assaulting Edward Spinks and Wil-
liam Brown, police-constables, while in the execution of
their duty.
Mr. Bodkin prosecuted, on behalf of the Commis-
sioners of Police ; Mr. Horry defended.
From the statement of the Learned Counsel (the
prisoners having withdrawn their plea of not guilty, and
pleaded guilty), it appeared that the prisoners were
brickmakers, and that about half-past nine in the even-
ing in question a large concourse of people had as-
sembled in a field at Herton, near Uxbridge, to witness
a fight that was taking place between Cooper and Hurst.
The two complainants coming up and witnessing the
fray, went in the midst of the mob and ordered the
parties to leave off fighting. This they refused to do,
and Cooper called out to the snob to " seize the b----y
police, and drop into them." Upon taking hold of

ANTIQUITIES AT ROME.
A later from Rowe, of the eeth It., states that the
excavations on the Via Appia, though carried on with
fewer hands than foruierly. have nevertheless been ex-
tend.ed far into the Campagna. The excavators have
wonted their way past the station of Torre di Men%
Via, and there is reason to believe that within the course
of next year they teid reach tare ruins of Bovillre, where
the ancient road joins the modern highway. The AP.
piee, road, from Rome to Albano, is on either side
flanked by tombs. All the monuments, votive tablets,
Sc,c., which the excavators dug up, have again been
erected on the spot where they were found, and of the
eculp-tures only the most valuable have been removed to
the museum at Rome. Hence the road, in spite of the
dilapidated condition of some of the monuments, pre'
tents a most intereAing spectacle to the antiquary.
the artist, end even to the tourist. The excavations;_
are esp- cially important with regard to the archi
tecture of antique tombs, specimens of which are found
in alt styles and of all periods. Some of them are simply
sarcophagi in vaults, others are curiously arched or
built in the shape of chapels, the lower story of which
was constructed for the reception of the dead. In some
instances the tombs are solid towers, in the style of
the monument of Cecilia Media, or round low ma-
sonry, on which it is evident that mounds of earth
were placed. Canini, the Roman architect and direc-
tor of the works on the Appian road, has had then!
covered with mould and planted with trees an
shrubs. Hence these will be perfect " restorations*
But the grandest of the monuments which have hitherto_
been discovered is a tomb called the " Casal Ito"
tondo." Up to the present time it had the appear'
ante of a hill with a house standing on the top, surd
rounded by olive trees. The excavations have re-
moved the bill, and displayed a monument in the
manner of Cecilia Metella's tower. It must have been
still more large and splendid. This is shown by the
large number of marble blocks which have been foutih•

Metella tower the name of? the " Capo di Bove," the
" Casal Rotondo" tower must have been surrounded 131,
