COTTON IN THE RIVER PLATE.

Cotton•growing is occupying attention nearly
everywhere on the River Plate, and we are pro-
mised great things in the course of a few years.
The Cotton Supply Association of Manchester had
sent out 20 bags of cotton seed for distribution and
several cotton-growing companies had been esta-
blished in Corrientes, under the auspices of the
governor of that province. The Estancieros in
other parts of the Argentine Rbpablic have also
sown cotton seed with the most hopeful prospects,
and in Paraguay the same spirit is beginning to
animate the native population. The Buenos Ayres
Standard, which may justly claim great credit for
the energy with which it has promoted the cultiva-
tion of cotton in the River Plate, in its European
summary refers to the subject as follows ;—" Our
foreign readers who take an interest in Argentine
prosperity will be pleased to know that over three
tons of the very best cotton seed of all descriptions
have been distributed, and are already planted in
the parts.of this nation most adapted to the growth
of cotton. Our philanthropic and sterling friends
in Manchester will hear with delight that millions
and millions of cotton plants are at present over-
ground. We promise the English manufacturers
5,000 bales of cotton from the River Plate this sea-
son, and 100,000 the nest. In payment for our
cotton bales we ask neither gold sovereigns nor
ounces, but railway iron, cotton goods, coal, &c.
There are some who laugh at our predictions, but
we will ' not bate one jot.' In a year or two, if we
have peace, the River P at 3 will be to England
what the once prosperous United States of North
America were—the supplier of staples, the con-
sumers of manufactures. We are all here as yet
in our infancy—our future is great, and England is
regarded as the best friend of the Argentine na-
tion."—Brazil and River Plate Mail.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

It was generally believed that their lordships the Barons
of Exchequer would give judgment in the great Alexandra
case—The Queen v. Sillem—this morning, and conse-
quently there was a very large attendance of the public in
the court at a very early hour. Amongst the better in-
formed it was well known that such would not be the
case, and it was not until the Lord Chief Baron and Baron
Channell took their seats at 11 o'clock that the belief that
had taken possession of the large assemblage was dispelled.
The Lord Chief Baron said the court would now give
judgment in various causes which had been ordered to
stand over for consideration, the first of which was

the Cambridge University Volunteers by his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, honorary colonel of
the corps, took place on Friday. A pre;iminary
match to select the six best shots in the battalion
was held on Wednesday and Thursday, in which
the following members made the h4;hest secres,
viz.:—Lieut.-Col. Baker, Capt. E. R, as, Corporal
Doe, Private Powlett, Private Thornton, Private
Stowe. The shooting on this occasion was not very
good, owing to the unfavourable state of the wea-
ther, which was boisterous and wet, but in the final
match it was remarkably good. The match took
place on the rifle ground of the corps, which is,
perhaps, one of the finest in England, having a
range of upwards of 1,000 yards.

DRUNKEN RAILWAY PASSENGERS.—WiIIiam Richards
and Sarah King, two middle-aged persons, were charged
with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Vic-
toria Railway Statior, Pimlico.
James Parish, a police-constable, employed at the station,
said that defendants were there on Saturday evening; one
intending to go by Liao Crystal Palace line to Balham, and
the other to Streatham. As they were so drunk aa to be
unfit to go with safety, they were requested to leave the
station, where they were creating some confusion, and as
they refused witness was compelled to remove them. When
opposite the hotel they created a great disturbance, and a
number of persons assembled. As it was found impossible
to get them away, they were taken to the station and locked
up.
Female defendant—The only disturbance I made was I
screamed when the policeman laid hold of me and hurt me.
Mr. Selfe—You were drunk, ma'am, they say.
Female defendant—l was not drunk. I had only taken
two or three glasses of rum and water, and I am sure that
that could not hurt me.
Mr. Selfe—l cannot estimate the quality of rum and
water you may take without getting drunk, but I should
think that under ordinary circumstances two or three glasses
of rum and water would go well towards it.
Female defendant—This man told me that I had better
go by the 9.10 train, and I certainly told him it was like his
impudence, and I should go when I liked. I met the man,
and he carried my parcel as he was going to Balham, and
I was going to Streatham.
Male defendant—l em under a physician, and a very
little liquor takes effect on me.
Female defendant—l am very much bruised and marked
by the way ho used me. Shall I show your worship my
arms and
Mr. Selfe—O dear me—no. I thank you. Have they
been locked up since then?
Police-constable—The male defendant the whole time,
the female till mid-day yesterday,
Mr. Selfe discharged them:

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

O wing to the recent gales there was a falling off in the
supply of foreign stock exhibited for sale here to• day, and
the trade ruled firm, at, in most instances, full quotations.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts,
fresh up, were moderate as to numbers, and there was a
decided improvement in the general quality of the stock.
Compared with Monday last, there was rather less activity
in the demand for most breeds, and that day's quotations
were not, in all instances, supported. The top figure for
beef was 5s 2d ; but several very prime Scots and crosses
changed hands at 5a per Blbs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,000 shorthorns, &c.—from
Norfolk, 100 Scots and crosses—from Scotland, 220 Scots
—from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers—and from other parts
of the kingdom, 700 of various breeds.
The supply of sheep on sale was small, but the general
quality of the stock was tolerably prime. For all breeds
the trade was very firm, and a clearance was readily
effected. The prices realised were 2d per tilbs. in advance
of Monday last. Prime heavy Downs sold at 5s 101b—
prime small du 6s—and, in some instances, at 6s 21b
per Sibs.
The supply of calves on sale was small, and the trade
ruled firm at Thursday's advance in the quotations, the top
quotation being 5s per 81bs.
Pigs were in moderate supp

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-

We tala, the following summary of news from the
Bombay Ga=ette of Nov. 14 :
" His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-
General Lord Elgin, has had a dangerous attack of
illness, caused it is said by the fatiguing character
of the route he has taken in his journey towards the
-North-West Frontier. A telegram from Lahore,
dated the 10th inst., reports the state of his lord-
ship's health to be alarming, and holds out but
/slight hope of his recovery.
" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
Hugh Rose, was at Hotta on the 26th, when he
visited the tea plantations there, en route for Kan-
gra, and was expected to reach Lahore a few days

of the Punjab, returned to the capital of the pro.
vince on the 23d ult.

under Gmeral Chamberlain, forced the pass ; and
on the 2 it'n ult. the picket commanded by Colonel

DRUNKEN RAILWAY PASSENGERS.—WiIIiam Richards
and Sarah King, two middle-aged persons, were charged
with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Vic-
toria Railway &Mier, Pimlico.
James Parish, a police-constable, employed at the station,
said that defendants were there on Saturday evening; one
intending to go by the Crystal Palace line to Balham, and
the other to Streatham. As they were so drunk as to be
unfit to go with eatety, they were requested to leave the
station, where they were creating some confusion, and as
they refused witness was compelled to remove them. When
opposite the hotel they created a great disturbance, and a
number of persons assembled. As it was found impossible
to get them away, they were taken to the station and locked
up.
Female defendant—The only disturbance I made was I
screamed when the policeman laid hold of me and hurt me.

Mr. Selfe—You were drunk, ma'am, they say.
Female defendant—l was not drunk. I had only taken
two or three glasses of rum and water, and I am sure that
that could not hurt me.

Mr. Selfe—l cannot estimate the quality of rum and
water you may take without getiing drunk, but I should
think that under ordinary circumstances two or three glasses
of rum and water would go well towards it.
Female defendant—This man told me that I had better
go by the 9.10 train, and I certainly told him it was like his
impudence, and I should go when I liked. I met the man,
and he carried my parcel as he was going to Balham, and
I was going to Streatham.
Male defendant—l am under a physician, and a very
little liquor takes off,3ct on me.
Female defendant—l am very much bruised and marked
by the way ho used me. Shall I show your worship my
arms and

Mr. Selfe—O dear me—no, I thank you. Have they
been locked up since then?
Police-constable—The male defendant the whole time,
the female till mid-day yesterday,
Mr. Selfe discharged them:

FLTILLEY V. BATES.

Baron Channel' gave judgment in this case. The action
tried was, whether defendant had entered into an agreement
to purchase the whole, or part, of a heap of, fire clay which
the plaintiff had raised to the surface from one of his mines
in Staffordshire. The plaintiff contended the whole had been
sold the defendantbeing of opinion that he was only compelled
to take as much as he required at 2s. per ton. The jury
returned, by consent, for the plaintiff, with £ll2 damages,
the value of the fire-clay the defendant refused to clear
away, at the same time giving the defendant leave to move
the court to enter the verdict to plaintiff to move. This
course was adopted, and the arrangements having been
heard, their lordships took lime to consider their decision.
Their judgment was now that the verdict of the jury ought
to stand, and the rule obtained by the defendant for the re-
duction of the damages discharged.

WOOD V. LONDON DOCK COMPANY.
Their lordships refused to allow the appeal asked for.
HUGHES V. 31'11E—ABBOTT V. M'PIE.
These cases were tried at Liverpool before Mr. Edward
James, Q.C., when a non-suit was entered in each. The
action was brought by the next friend of the plaintiff, an
infant who was injured in consequence of the falling of a
covering over a cellar belonging to defendant. The chil-
dren were at play near the place, and from some cause or
other the flap fell down, striking and injuring the two
boys. The defendant resisted the demand for compensa-
tion on the ground that had not the child interferes in
some way or other with the fastenings the flap would
never have fallen. Their lordships were of opinion that
the judgment of Mr. James in the first case was correct,
and therefore the non-suit ought to stand. With respect to
the second case, the Court thought there ought to be a
rehearing.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
There was only one case set down for trial in this court.
On this an arrangement was come to which precluded the
necessity of going to a special jury.

M, JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.

The past week was characterised by a perform,
once, or more properly half performance, devoted
to the works of Mendelssohn ; M. Jullien thus fol-
lowing closely in the footsteps of his father, who
invariably in his "Classical Nights" showed his
predilection for Mendelssohn; preferring him at
the outset to Mozart, Haydn, or Beethoven. The
Mendelssohn selection which was given on Friday
comprised the overture to "Ruy Blas," the Italian
symphony, the violin concerto, the music to " A
Midsummer Night's Dream," the song of "The first
violet," and two part-songs, "0 hills, 0 vales," and
" The nightingale." The symphony was the great
trial for the conductor and his band, who, never-
theless, came out of the ordeal triumphantly, the
execution being, indeed, first-rate and beyond re-
proach, unless we were inclined to be hypercritical
and take exception to the accelerated tempo of the
minuetto and trio. The performance of the over-
ture was unexceptionable. Signor Sivori played
the concerto magnificently, and was recalled with
enthusiastic applause. The whole of the
music to " A Midsummer Night's Dream" was ad-
mirably performed, the glorious scherzo creating a
profound sensation.

Mdlle. Volpini, who seems to please in all sorts of
styles--the bravura, the classical, and the simple
ballad--gave " The first violet" with so much
natural sentiment and perfect grace of manner as to
charm the audience infinitely, and to compel them
to call for a repetition of the song. The two part-
songs were well given by the London Choral Union,
more particularly the melodious and inexpressibly
beautiful " 0 hills, 0 vales." On the whole the
selection was incomparable, and the performance
almost all that might have been desired. Indeed,
it seemed like a waste of music to have anything to
follow; but no doubt many of the frequenters were
on the look out for their quadrille, their waltz, their
" Arditti," and, above all, their "Faust" selection.

Of the second part we need only say the selectio❑
from " Faust" end the bolero " Leggero invisibile,"
sung by Mdlle. Volpini, created the usual sensation.
The theatre was very full, the private boxes and
dress circle being more than usually crowded.

FRANCE.

The title of Dake de Montmorot was not con-
ferred on the son of Queen Christina of Spain by
the Emperor Napoleon 111. It was conferred by
King Louis Philippe on the Duke of Rianzares,
husband of Queen Christina, before the Spanish
marriages. Ho was authorised to bear it in Spain
in 18.52.

A letter from Comp.egne says:—" One of the
amusements of the Prince Imperial at the palace is
to go through the military exercises with his young
comrades, the enfans-de-troves ..of the Ist Regi.
ment of Grenadiers of the Guard, to which he
belongs. At the desire of the Prince the arms of
these lads were scot from St, Denis, where the regi-
ment is stationed, and since then the children pro-
ceed almost every day to the palace for the exer-
cise. One day it rained and the manceuvres were
performed indoors. Daring a pause the Emperor
took a gun from the drill sergeant and explained
himself to the Prince some movements in the use of
that arm. The instruction being over the boys
seat themselves at the table of the young Prince,
wno invites them to dinner, and always manifests
'the utmost desire to render himself agreeable to his
companions."

Last evening Mr. S. L. Toole took his annual

the burlesque written by H. J. Byron, entitled
" The Rosebud of Stingingnettle Farm, or the

the bills informed us was a domestic drama as can
