MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLf,cx.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday,
amounted to 12,000 bales. The market was quiet,
but closed firmly at full prices. Of American 1,000
were taken far exportation, and 2,000 ditto and 100
Egyptian on speculation. The sales consisted of
9,000 American ; 600 Pernam and Marenham bid. to
70.; 100 Bahia at id. to 7d., 1500 Egyptian at
6i to tifd. and 600 Surat at 441. to sd. Railway
shares were dull but firm.
The state of the Manchester market is thus de-
scribed by Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving:—
Coincident with the transactions in Cotton may be
said to be those in the manufactured article. Seldom
or ever have we known them to have been of greater
extent at this season of the year, or indeed at any
other. The demand has been increasingly progres-
sive ; and though occasional comparative quiet char-
acterized the action of the market for a while, that
appeared to be only the result of heavy preceding
operations. Stocks, of either cloths or yarns, were
scarcely ever lighter at the close of the mouth than
they are at this moment; and notwithstanding the
great advance which has taken place upon many de-
scriptions of twist and cloth, the great bulk of the
spinners and manufacturers are under contract until
the end of the year, and even beyond that period in
many instances.
I The express in anticipation of the American mail
has arrived, and the advices she brings appear to be
satisfactory in respect to mercantile matters. The
letttrs are not yet delivered.

The Amsterdam stock market on the Both inst.
was dull for Dutch stock, but at previous rates. In
Foreign very, little was done.
The Conversion of the Spanish Debt is open one
month longer to the holders.

The Stock Exchange being closed as usual on the
let November for a holiday, the half-yearly balance
being taken at the Bank of England. Consols are
nominally 1004 Turkish Loan are at about 3i to
4 premium.
Railway shares are considered firm, but no bar-
gains of sufficient magnitude to establish prices have
been entered into.

The following letter respecting the Sambre and
Mouse Railway, is in reply to a special inquiry, and
may be interesting to many, although, of course, to be
taken as the opinion of a patty having a stake in the

was effected. The primest Soots, from their extreme
scarcity, realissed 4s per Sibs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,300 Short-horns; from other parts
of England, 500 Herefords, Hunts, Devour, ; and,
from Scotland, 160 horned and polled Soots.
The supply of English Sheep was very moderate, but
of good average weight. The numbers from abroad
were tolerably extensive. Prime old Downs sold at the
currencies of last week—the extreme top figure being
4s 6d per 81bs; but all other broods were very dull, and
2d per Sibs lower.
We were but moderately supplied with Calves; never-
theless, the Veal trade was heavy, at barely stationary
prices.
For Pigs, we had a very slow sale. In the quotations,
however, no change took place.

TILE CURE OF STRICTURE OF TIIE URETHRA, on Princi-

and apparently Intractable Forms. To which is added, PRACTICAL
OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORIC-

"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
Itow to use the common instruments
geons has been marred with all kinds of violence, an indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses wad horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Ceurtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Symo adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., ail, and xviii. No. ix, had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilltation, and was finally
!*moved in as many weeks. But cases avid. and xix. appear, both
I a duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
ie:gated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently .saCCOStiftd."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS COURT.—Nov. 6.
(Before tho Master of the Rolls.)
CROUCH V. HOOPER.

His Honour gave judgment in this case, which came
before the court previous to the long vacation on ex-
ceptions to the Master's report. The subject matter in
dispute was a sum of money in court, and another large
sum which had been paid out of court, amounting in the
whole ,to 180,0001,, the property of a person named
Charles Crouch, who died, while of unsound mind, in
1830. The plaintiff claimed to be one of tho next of
kin of the deceased, and the Master had reported that
she was not one of the next of kin. Charles Crouch,
the intestate, was the son of Charles Crouch, a planter
of Antigua, who sent his son to England about the year
1770, consigning him to the care of Messrs. Boddington,
his correspondents in London. The father died in 1772,
leaving all his property to his son. In 1794 Chas. Crouch
became of unsound mind, and in 1801 a commission de
lunatic° inquirendo was issued, which declared him to
have been insane since 1794. The usual advertisements
were issued for the next of kin, but none claimed, and
nothing further took place till 1830, when Charles
Crouch died. Some time afterwards, a suit, " Cox v.
Cox," was instituted in this court by persons claiming
to be the next of kin, ex materna, under which a large
sum had been paid out of court to the claimants in that
suit. In 1847 the present plaintiff filed her bill, claim-
ing as next of kin, ex paterna, alleging that Charles
Crouch, the father, was the son of Thomas and Elisa-
beth Crouch, who resided at Purbright, in Surrey, pre-
vious to 1728. His Honour then entered into a minute
examination of the evidence on which the claim was
founded, which he considered failed to prove that Charles
Crouch, of Antigua, was a son of Thomas Crouch. A
copy of a letter, which it was alleged had been received
from Antigua, and which had been relied on as proving
the relationship, he considered as not being genuine, and
was in fact a fabricated document. The exceptions
must be therefore overruled, and the petitioners must
pay the costs.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.-THE MADIAIS.

A numerous and influential meeting was held on Sa-
turday morning in the great room at the Rotunda, Dub-
lin, to petition the Queen on the subject of the suffering
Madiais. The Earl of Mayo presided. The meeting
was addressed by Mr. Grogan, M.P., Archdeacon Stop-
ford, the Dean of Armagh, Colonel Lewis, &c.
The following resolution was unanimously agreed to:
—" That valuing, as we do, the blessing of religious
liberty which the equal laws of Great Britain and Ire-
land were framed to secure, wo feel the deepest sympathy
for Francesco and Resa Madiai, who are suffering such
relentless persecution upon purely religious grounds."
The Dean of Armagh then moved the adoption of a
petition to the Queen, protesting against the imprison-
ment of the Madiais, and entreating her Majesty " to
make the feelings of the British nation known to the
Tuscan Government, and endeavour to procure either a
reversal of the judgment on the said Francesco and
Rosa Madiai, or at least such alleviation of their sen-
tences as would admit of their seeking refuge in some
land where it is lawful for each man to worship God
after his own conscience."
This motion, like the former,
was unanimously carried;
after which a vote of thanks was passed to the deputa-
tion, consisting of the Earl of Roden, the Earl of Cavan,
the Hon. Somerset Maxwell, and Captain Potter, which
has gone to Florence from Great Britain, to remonstrate
with the Duko of Tuscany.
A second meeting for the same purpose was held in
the Round Room of the Rotunda at 7 o'clock p.m.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather,
there was a very numerous and respectable attendance.

THE BIRKENHEAD SUBSCRIPTION.—The committee

RUSSIA.

The camp at Wognesinko is broken up.
The Emperor Nicholas had been present at all the
manoeuvres, and had left for Nicolusdorf by way of
Sebastapol.
On the 17th the Russian fleet had run into the har-
bour of Odessa from the Black Sea. It was under
the command of Admiral Nakkimons. It consisted of
ten ships of the line, eight of 84 and two of 120 guns;
two frigates of GO and 52 guns, and two corvettes of
20 and 18 guns. _ _

The squadron was to take on board the troops of
the camp of Wognesinko and convey them to their
winter quarters in the Crimea.
Winter appeared to be setting in very early this
year in Russia. On the 96th Oct., a good deal of
drift ice appeared on the Neva at St. Petersburgh,
and the Troijke-bridge was broken down. The am-
tire Gulf of Finland is blocked up with drift ice.
It appears from the official report published at War-
saw, respecting the cholera in the present year, that
in the capital of Poland, from Bth July to 6th Sept.,
20,000 persons were attacked by the epidemic, of
whom 4,462 died. The population of the city was
161,000 souls, there was consequently 1 death to every
37 souls, and 1 case to every 16 souls in the whole
kingdom of Poland ; the number of cases from 24th
May to sth Sept., was 46,318, that of deaths 20,906.

is the robbery of all ; that protection to native indus

industry realty means protection to native idle

ness, or native incompetence. The world is ripe
to learn the great lesson of Free Trade. It needs
but the DERBY converts and Queen VICTORIA to

proclaim their conversion, and the door of Protection

is sealed abroad as well as at home.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.—The Queen, it is ex-
pected, will leave Windsor Castle on Wednesday next, for
Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of holding a Privy Coun-
cil, at which her Majesty's Speech from the Throne, on

of the Sovereign. Her Majesty, as we have already stated, is
expected to deliver the Speech from the Throne in person, on
Thursday, in the HotLe of Lords, returning to Windsor Castle
the same afternoon.
NOMINATION OF SIIERIFF3.--The nomination of
sheriffs for next year is appointed to take place on Friday
next in the Court of Exchequer, on which occasion the
Right Hon. Benjanim Disraeli will officiate in his robe as
Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the first time since his ap-
pointment. The chief judges, and also the judges and
barons of the three courts—Queen's Bench, Common
,Pleas,

gentlemen will be nominated for all the counties in England
and Wales.

COMING EVENTS.—ON is stated by those
who at least wish it to be believed that they are in the
confidence of the Government, that the Chancellor will
positively propose the repeal of the Malt Tax, and, if
possible, of the Hop tax also. It is further asrerted that
the Income Tax will be wholly taken off the tenant-farmer
class--that that on other incomes will be reduced to 2d.
in the pound sterling ; and, that on property raised from 7d.
to Is. per pound, or to 5 per cent., going down to property
returning 501. per annum, in place of 150/. We may presume
that Lord Derby's supporters in the Upper House are not
likely to tolerate so direct an attack upon property; while
the Free-traders will neither consent to except farmers from
their fair share of the national burdens, nor to part with the
malt tax until other imports of a much more objectionable
and clamant kind are repealed. The manufacture of soap
and paper must be free before we can listen to the emancipa-
tion of beer.— Weekly Dispatch.
THE FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
--Up to a late hour on Saturday night no order had ema-
nated from the Horse Guards to alter the arrangements made
with regard to the number of officers, non-commissioned
Officers, and men of the line regiments ordered to come up
from the head-quarters and depots of every corps in the
United Kingdom, and the islands of Guernsey and Jersey.
The number of each corps to be present at the funeral of
their late gallant Commander-in-Chief, will therefore be
three officers, one sergeant, one corporal, and six privates, as
first stated, with the exception of the 33d Foot from Glasgow,
and the Rifle Brigade from Canterbury; these corps
being designed to walk before the funeral car with their
arms reversed, and all the others will follow the
funeral car carrying the body, and be without their arms.
—ln the official programme of the forthcoming grand funeral
Precession, a conspicuous place is given to what is denomi-
nated the ,4 Guidon." which is thus referred to in the de-
scription :—" The Guidon, carried by a lieutenant-colonel,
supported by two captains in the army, on horseback." It
is rkt generally known that the guidon is a military ensign
or flag, and in itself an object that at the funeral may
escaue notice except from military men. It is a term
now
used for the little banner of a regiment, and the guidon which
will bt borne in the procession is the banner of the 33d Ite_ giment of Foot, tlae late Duke's regiment.
By the way, it is, perhaps, worth knowing, that
some of the regular "Whig set"
begin to
.{press a decided
preference of Mr. Bright to Mr. Cobden. It is somewhat
curious that Mr. Luca.. M.P., the rampant Romanist of the
Tablet, h
the brother of Mr. Bright's sister's
husband (do
our readers trace the pedigree?), and the son of a steady
old Mark-lane Quaker, of whose denomination the member
was formerly a professor. There is no zealot so fiery a; a
new convert.— Weekly Dispatch.
