MARKET

AND
00UMBRCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The money market continues in a favourable
course. There has been leas inquiry for accommoda-
tion, and the capital on offer shows a small increase,
tinder this circumstance the mercantile public are
receiving greater concessions, the discount este.
btisbments having negotiated short-dated bills at
7-1- per cent.
The arrivals of specie announced this morning
comprise £8,489 by the Europa, from America;
£14,000 by the Kosciusko, from Port Phillip ; and
£18,788 from Geelong, by the Champion of the
Seas.

About £38,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
on Saturday.
During the past week the intervention of the
Whitsuntide holidays has been the cause of a partial
suspension of business in most of the manufacturing
districts. At Manchester, however, prices of both
cloths and yarns have been well sustained, and in
the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud-
dersfield high rates have been current for both
Wools and manufactured goods. Rather less ani-
mation has prevailed in the hosiery ani lace de-
partments at Leicester and Nottingham, while the
saute may be reported in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according . to Reuter 's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented were 66f. 65c.
Heavy.

The market for the English stocks and shares has
been very much depressed this morning. The ope-
rations have been exceedingly limited, and at an
early hour the funds declined .1- per cent., from
which they have not recovered, Consols being 911
for money, and 90 /, less the div., for the account.
The New Three per Cents. are 881 891 ; Exche-
quer Bills, 8s to 7s die.; India 5 per Cents, 105/ s ;
sod the Bonds, 15s die.
In the Foreign Market there is very little busi.
aesg, and prices are tolerably steady, Mexican
Ire 43! 44 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, 70i 711 ;
10 Consotides, 471 ; Greek, 231 ; Spanish Pad-
-331 348 ► Portuguese, 48-a 8 ; Mexican Loan,
t° Of dis ; Swedish do., 21 3Q prem. ; Russian do.,
31 Prem. ; and the Confederate Loan, 66 67.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
4nued very inactive, and the variations in prices
lave been unimportant. North 'Western and Mid-
'and have each declined 10e., and South Eastern 55.,
19bile Great 'Western have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines continue very
`4ll, at about former quotations
Batik and Miscellaneous Shares exhibit no mate-
tal change, Intetnationel Laud Credit are quoted

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COMMENCEMENT OF TRINITY TERM.

This being the first day of Trinity Term, and there being
no public reception of her Mbjesty's judges and Queen'e
Counsel by the Lord Chancellor, the judges entered their
respective courts at Westminster Hall at the usual hour.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Justices Crompton, Blackburn, and Shea.)
DAVIS V. WELLS.

Mr Brown, on the part of the defendant, moved for a
rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why all pro-
ceedings against defendant in this court should not be
stayed, and that the plaintiff should be ordered to pay all
costs of such proceedings, and also of this application, on the
ground of vexatious proceedings. The plaintiff had been a
depasitor in the National Bank of Deposit, of which Peter
Morison was manager, and which company had been wound
up under the 20th and 21st Vie., cap. 78, before the Master
of the Rolls, under which the defendant, Mr Wells, who
had been a director, was decided to be liable as a contribu•
tory ; and to relieve himself from which claim and liabili-
ties under the company, he entered into a compromise with
the official manager, and the creditors' assignees assented a
a meeting duly convened by advertisement, under the pro-
visions of the statue, which made the appointment binding
on all the creditors of the company if two-thirds of those
who proved their debts before the Master agreed to such
appointment. The appointment was duly certified by the
Master of the Rolls, the compromise being that £5,000 should
be paid in settlement or discharge of all claims upon him,
the cfficial manager and the creditors' assignee executing
a deed of release which was duly carried; and the £5,000
raid by the defendant. The plaintiff proved her debt at the
winding up of the company, and was entitled to participate
in the assets in hand of the official manager, of which the
£5,000 contributed by the defendant was the bulk. Not-
withstanding the release executed by the official manager
under which plaintiff had proved her debt, she commences
an action, got the defendant under 73d section of the
Joint Stock Companies Act to recover the amount of ber
claim against Wells as a contributory. The defendant
complained that he was being made the victim of vexatious
proceedings, as already three actions had been brought
against him by the same attorney, but in the names of dif-
ferent depositors, and in one case the Court of Common
Pleas granted a rule; but after hearing Mr. Ogle, for the
plaintiff, for several hours, the court, without calling on the
other side, made the rule absolute, staying the proceedings
with costs, and the present action was entirely similar, and
on his own responsibility he not only asked for the rule to
stay proceedings. but that the plaintiff pay the costs.
The Court granted a rule to show cause,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE F. W. WIND HAM.

This was a first meeting for a proof of debts and choice
of aasignees in the case of Mr Windham, who was de-
scribed as of Westbourne-terrace and Cromer, coach pro-
prietor. It will be remembered that the bankrupt came
before the court on his own petition, but subsequently a
creditor's petition was substituted in the belief that it would
afford an opportunity for a more extensive inquiry into the
bankrupts property.
Mr Lawrence appeared for the bankrupt; Mr Chidley,
Mr Brougb, Mr Roche, and several other gentlemen for
creditors.

The number of creditors attending were comparatively
few, having given powers of attorney to vote in the choice.
A proof on behalf of a Mr Richardson, a tavern keeper,
Anchor-street, Church-street, Shoreditch, for a sum of
£5OO on two bills of exchange of £250, discounted by Mr
Richardson, but after a short discussion, it was allowed to
stand over till the next meeting.

Mr. Howlett, of the Music Hall, Norwich, sought to
prove for 125 for a pianoforte, but it proved that it had not
been delivered, and the learned Registrar declined to allow
the creditor to give up the property and prove for the
balance.

A proof was tendered by Mr. Binghan), a tailor, for a
bill of £415 for clothing. The proof was admitted subject
to the creditor giving up a mortgage he had on bankrupt's

yacht.

A proof was tendered on behalf of Mr. Breeze, a partner
with the bankrupt in the stage coach business, but upon
Mr. Windham being examined it appeared that no account
had been taken of the relative position of the parties. The
proof was ordered to stand over.
Proof to the amount of about £1,500 were admitted, and
Mr. Smith, of Norwich, veterinary surgeon, was chosen
assignee.
Mr. Lawrence complained that several of the creditors
who had given power of attorney had rescinded them and
given them to other persons, which he considered unfair
and improper; but no doubt they had received a strong in-
ducement to do so. He then applied for an allowance to
the bankrupt of £lO a week, which was objected to on the
ground that the bankrupt executed a deed which would, no
doubt, be hereafter declared perfectly valid, by which he
was to receive £530 a year for life, with an addition, as
certain property fell in. The allowance was granted till
the next meeting, which is appointed for the 28th of June.
Mr. Lawrence is solicitor to the issue.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT ON A COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPER.—Thomas
Wealerson and Alfred Pike, two young men, described as
"artiste," of No. 44, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-
square, was charged before Mr Knox, with being trunk
and assaulting Air. James Hudson, coffee-house keeper, of
397, Oxford-street.

From the evidence of Mr Hudson, it appeared last night
the defendants entered his house and ordered some reiresh-
merit, with which they were served. Directly after Pike
began making use of the most disgusting language, but the
other advised him to be quiet, Mr Hudson then requested
Pike to desist, when he set to abusing him, and at last Mr
Hudson was obliged to turn both defendants out of the
house, when Pike struck him on the breast with his fist,
and Weatherson seized a stick which Pike had in his hand
and struck Mr Hudson several blows across the forehead
with it. The defendants were then taken into custody.
Wm. Nelson, 19.5 C, proved seeing the defendants
assault Mr Hudson.

Mr Knox said it was evident from the appearance of Mr
Hudson's forehead that he had been much Mused. The
defendant Pike had not left any marks, and did not appear
to have injured Mr Hudson, but ho had grossly miscon-
ducted himself. He should, therefore, one him 20s, or 14
days; and Weatherson 40s, or 14 days.
