LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAV.)

VICE-CHANCERY.
PITZWILLIAM V. KELLY-JUDGMENT,

In this special case as to the payments of fines on re-
newal of trustees, whether by the tenant for life or the
remainderman, and as to the intention of the testator
that leaseholds should be converted, his Honour, Vice-
Chancellor Turner, this morning gave judgment, and
stated that at the hearing several questions arose, which
afterwards settled themselves into two—first, how certain
sums of money were to be paid by the leasehold estates—
and, secondly, how certain costs were to be borne. His
Honour, after reviewing the facts at great length, and re-
ferring to several authorities bearing upon the subject,
said he was of opinion that the sum of 2,0001. incurred
in filling up certain trusts during the life of the testator,
was to be borne out of the general residue, and not out
of the other property. The costs incurred in this hear-
ing were also to be given out of the same fund, the gene-
ral residue of the estates. Judgment accordingly.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS,.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 3,000 bales, of which 800 American,
and 400 Egyptian, were taken on speculation. The
market again closed heavily, and prices of Ameri-
can were /d, and Surat and other sorts id per lb.
lower. The sales comprised 2,000 American, 40
Ferman and Maranham at Gid, 10 Bahia at bid, 500
Egyptian at 6d to 10d, and 500 Surat at 31d to 4id
per lb. Railway Shares were a shade better.
The markets have been flatter this week for the
principal staples, and there has been a disinclination
to buy. Foreign Sugar has been at full prices, and
other sorts have been neglected. Common Planta-
tion Coffee has been in some request. Cotton con-
tinues heavy, and tallow is less dealt in. Tea has
attracted attention.
The dividend upon the shares of the John Cocke-
rill Company at Seraing, for the year 1851-2, is
fixed at 30 francs.
The steamer with the West India and Mexican
mails, supplies no very important news from the
colonies. The following is from Jamaica
"The Trelawny recommends that public meetings
should be held in the several parishes of this island, at
which memorials should be adopted for presentation to
the House of Assembly, praying that the present Import
Duties should be reduced. Our contemporary says :--
As the time is rapidly approaching when the
Legislature will meet to proceed with the business
of the country, we would recommend, that those gentle-
men who are of opinion that the present Import Duties
ought to be reduced, do get up a requisition to the
Custodes, or Senior Magistrates of the several parishes
throughout the island, to have public meetings convened,
without delay, for the purpose of framing and adopting
petitions to the honourable House of Assembly on the
subject. In calling upon the public to evince the demon-
stration that we have recommended, we would
also suggest, that, in discussing the imposts to
which we have particularly adverted, care should
be taken to free the country, generally, of the over-
taxation with which the island is at present burthened.
If the taxpayers will but arouse themselves from their
apathy, and have public meetings held throughout the
island as we have recommended, for the purpose of ex-
pressing their grievances, and demanding that those
griev.ances shall be ameliorated, the Legislature will, of
necessity, be compelled to award that justice which has
been so disgracefully withheld for years past by the
'place-seekers,' who have dubbed themselves 'patriots'
of the country.
" The town of Falmouth has been free from rain
during the past week, but the state of health in it has
not been favourable. The Trelawny, referring to those
circumstances, observes :—` The weather has been dry
and pleasant during the week ; but we regret to state
that we cannot make as favourable a report of the state
of health. Fevers, accompanied sometimes with ague,
and influenza, prevail generally throughout the parish ;
but, thanks be to an All-Merciful Creator, we are glad
to inform our friends at a distance, that the prevailing
sicknesses have not proved fatal, as yet, among those
who have been attacked. We still continue to hear of
a case of measles occasionally, occurring among the
families both in town and country.' "

generally plundered. The remittance is 38,181
dollars.
