MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRlDAY.—nere
was a decided improvement of id. to }d. per lb. in the
prices of American descriptions from the close of our
last report up to Wednesday, with less inclination to
sell, consequently the supply for the first three days of
the week was by no means liberal, and buyers had to I
encounter an up-hill market, On Wednesday morning'
the Liverpool arrived from New York, with accounts
of the 19th as gloomy as could be anticipated. Not-
withstanding this, though there is some check
to business our market does not appear to be in-
iuenced in any degree of moment. There is a par-
tial desire to realize, and necessarily a greater
choice for buyers, but although in these instances
prices are not so steady, and there does not appear any
inclination in the bulk of our holders to give way, par-
ticularly as the balance of opinion inclines to the belief
that the coming import will be much retarded, prices
closed about id. per lb. higher for American than
Friday last. No change in Surat, Brazil, and Egyptian ;
rather easier, and little doing in them.
Speculators have taken 1,800 bales of American, 100
Surat ; and Exporters 1,000 bales of American. The
sales to-day are about 3,000 bales of all kinds.

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the
sth September.
PORT NATAL.—By the Mary we have some recent
intelligence from Port Natal :
The troops were in good health. Nothing definite
had transpired respecting the present condition of the
Boers. Dingaan, it is said, has withdrawn himself (it
is not known exactly where), taking with him the cattle
he had promised to restore to the Boers.
The Mazeppa had brought from De la Cot
Turhard's party, and landed them at Natal.

The Eleanora bad been driven on shore and wrecked ;
ship and cargo said to be insured. The Cape of Good
Hope Marine Company, with their usual good luck,
lose nothing by the accident. The emigrants have been
visited by the measles, and it is reported that 60 chil-
dren had died of the disease.

We have received Halifax papers to the 18th of
October :

" On the evening of the sth instant her Majesty's
ship Andromache struck on an unknown rock off Entry
Island, one of the Magdalen Islands, and it being tLe
top of high water she remained ten hours on shore, but
got off without any material damage, after throwing a
few shot overboard.

" The crops of grain throughout Prince Edward's
Island, which were uncut previous to the gale of the
13th inst., we regret to learn, have been nearly all
prostrated?'
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT PicTou.—(From the Hali-
fax .Journal.)—" It is our painful duty to record this
morning the commencement of another fire in the coal
pits, apparently of much greater extent than any that
have preceded it. At an early hour last evening, 19th
of October, this community was thrown into great ex-
citement by the appearance of a brilliant illumination
of the atmosphere in the direction of the Cart river.
The general impression appeared to be that New Glas-
gow was in flames, but on the arrival of a young man
at nine o'clock, it was ascertained that a fire had broke
out in pit No. 4. A violent explosion took place
and two houses were raised from their foundations, one
of them shattered to pieces ; some of the inmates had
been found at a late hour in the evening. When the
despatch left the Pits, they were removing the goods
from the stores adjoining. After day-light, two im-
mense columns of dense black smoke rose in the air,
showing that the fire had extended to another pit."
We have received New Brunswick Papers to the
13th October

" The Bermudas were visited, on the 11th Septem-
ber, with a tremendous hurricane, which raged with
little intermission from the evening of that day, until noon
the day following, and caused considerable damage to
the houses of St. George's and Hamilton."

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

_~:~,._.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. FISHMONGER'S COMPANY.

JUDGMENT.
The MASTER of the ROLLS this morning gave judg-
ment upon the two informations filed against the Fish-
mongers' Company, relating to the ehilrities of Sir T.
Kneseworth and of I-I,nry Preston. The arguments
were heard in Hilary Term last.
- •

His LORDSHIP delivered judgment first on the in-
formation in regard to Sir Thomas Kneseworth's cha-
rity. The object f this information was, to have it

declnred that certair: lands devised to the Fishmongers'
Company by the will of Sir T. Kneseworth, were vested
in the defendants for the charitable trusts and purposes

expressed by the will, and that such trusts and purposes
might be carried into effect under the direction of the
Court. Tile lands in question belonged to Sir

Thomas Kneseworth, whose will wag- dated the

- - -
13th of April, 1513, in the fourth year of the reign

of 1-lenry the Eighth. By that will, after describing
the property of which he was seized, he bequeathed
the same to the Fishmongers' Company end the;r sue-

cessors, to the intent that they should keep and perform
every article in the will in the manner therein specified.
His fi:st direction was, that part of the rents and reve-
nues of his estates should be applied in repairing and in
rebuilding the premises in such manner that the rent
should amount to the payment and contentation of his
legacies. Ile then directed various payments as to
vthich it was alleged by the relators that all but one
were for charitable uses, which ought to be carried into
effect by the Court in pursuance of the will, or as
neailv as might be, having regard to the circumstances
that have since taken place. On the other hand,
the defendants alleged that of all the payments
directed by the will, one only was for a purpose that
could be considered a good and charitable purpose ;
that all the other payments were for superstitious uses,
and that the only charitable purpose had_ been fully
performed. The defendants further contended that
the sums directed to be applied to superstitious us. s
had become vested in the Crown under the statute of
