THE QUEEN V. MEREDITH.

Mr. Ricitaans moved for a certiorari to remove into
the Court of Queen's Bench an indictment preferred
at the Quarter Sessions at Worcester by Licuteiant Am-
herst, R.N. against the deftn lant, for an assault, arising
out of the election for Guardians in the parish of Pershore.
The application was made on the ground of the defen-
dant having stated that he could procure witnesses to
swear that the plaintiff had struck the first blow, and the
other was therefore anxious to remove the indictment, and
have the case tried before a special jury, where the evi-
dence would be more likely to be thoroughly sifted than in
the neighbourhood where the transaction had taken place.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS thought there was no cause for
imagining that a fair trial could not be had at the Assizes,
and therefore refused the application.
Mr, RICHARDi trusted his Lordship would allow the
eme to be mentioned in the other Court.
Mr. Justice WlLLlAMS—Certainly.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS

TiVEL VE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRlDAY,—Without
provement in the demand or increase in the extent of sales,
our market presents the same discouraging aspect we no.
ticed in our last circular. Prices have been lets steady,
with a general tendency to give way. We reduce our
quotations for all kinds per lb. InEgyptian sales are being
made 1 to 2d. per lb. below the highest point, and in Sea
Island at least ld. Speculators seem to have abandoned
the market, as nothing has been done by them this week.
Exporters have taken 300 bales of American and 70 Ma-
ranham. The sales to. day are 1200 bales of all kinds.
The north-easterly winds which have prevailed for some
days past have prevented arrivals, particularly from
the westward. To-day again we have only the usual
French wail, and not even a single 'lip letter to notice.
The wind having in the course of the night got round to
the south-west we may expect numerous arrivals from all
quarters of the globe on Monday.
Commercial affairs during the week have been rather
languid, with no change of importance in the Money Mar-
ket ; Bankers' Bills continue to be discounted at 31 to 4
per cent. Some sales of Exchequer Bills took place yes-
terday, which lowowd the price in the market ; we may
also add that the exports of bullion have somewhat dimi.
nished—gold in particular,
There was little doing yesterday in the foreign exchanges,
and the rates were much the same as on the preceding
post day.

THE FUND{.
Both in the British and Foreign Markets there is not a
feature worth noticing to the present hour, and there is a
great paucity in speculation in almost every description of
the Funds.

We hear that the wedding nuptials of a Hebrew young
lady of high distinction to a Christian gentleman of title
is to be celebrated on Tuesday or Wednesday next.
THE WEATHER.—The weather hereabouts (in
Edinburgh) which has been for some time cold and un-
genial in the extreme, has improved considerably of late.
The sowing has been going on prosperously ; for, although
the days were cold and the nights frequently frosty, little
rain has fallen until within these few d.iys. During. the
week we have had occasional showers, especially on Mon-
day night, i‘hich seem gradually to have softened the at-
mosphere, and bid fair to introduce genial spring weather.
—Scottish Pilot.

POISONING.—We are glad to hear that Mr. and
Mrs. Bull, of Hilton, whose lives were placed in great
danger by a malicious attempt to poison them, as stated by
us last week, aro fist recovering their usual health. The
poison appears to have been put into the water in an
earthern vessel placed at the door for convenience, their
pump being dry, which was used for brcakfa-A. They had
used water out of the same vessel over night. Nothing
has transpired to lead to the detection of the perpetrator of
this 'iiabolical act. —Derby Rrporter.

It is said to be the intention of the directors of
the London and Bit t-ningham and Grand Junction Railway
Compalies to increase the speed of the mail trains on their
1;11,.s of railway, so that the distance between Manchester
and London end Liverpool and London shall be accom-
plished in nine hoe-a.

no -F, a lady sixty )cars of age, residing in York.street,
Bryanston square, as she was sitting at her breakfast,
fell in a fit into the fire, and was burnt in so shocking a
manner that no hopes are entertained of her recovery.
Tire total amount of silver coined and delivered
into the Mint from the sth April, 1837 to 31st January,
