FOREIGN COMMERCIAL.

We have to-day accounts from Berlin up to the first days of
August. Commerce is stated very dull, owing to the high
prices of all export articlea preventing orders to be executed,
and the few transactions that are going on are as the season
advances only to complete the cargoes of vessels bound to the
North of Europe. Importations are in abundance, and diffi-
cult of sale. The quotations for Sugar were, white 2,200 to
2,000 rees per arroba ; brown, 1,600 to 1,400 rem Coffee is
very scarce, and mostly all fine descriptions in the hands of ex-
porters; the nominal quotations were 4,200 to 4,000 recs. Cotton
held at 6,500 to 6,000 nes. In Hides rather more business
is reported to be doing, and considerable sales were effected.
Rio Grande dry at 180 to 200 teas per Ib; Bahia ditto, 150
to 160 rees; and Bahia dry salted at 115 to 120 rees. Ex-
change on London, 30d. per mille ree.

The accounts from Havre for Cotton are rather languid,
and the sales amounting only to a few hundred bales, the New
York packet of Ist instant not yet having arrived, but being
hourly expected, business was paralysed, and the buyers kept
back. Sugar and Coffee was quiet, but no alteration in price"
noticed.

In Holland, and at Antwerp, the markets are quiet; in
Sugar and Coffee little doing, but the holders generally firm,
and no alteration in prices; Seeds for crushing in better de-
mand at improving rates.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The accounts received from Manchester this morning
are of a favourable nature respecting our home trade, and
no symptoms of want of confidence is experienced. Both
the country and London houses have been buying exten-
sively ; but there is a suspension of large purchases of
yarns for shipment, and it is thought that much will not be
done in that article and twist, until after the German fairs.

CITY REGISTRATIO-N-THIS y•

(Before .M. M
rYLNE.)
Nothing of publ;e int4vest occurred in this Court up to
the time of Our leaving.
(Bcfoic Me; CrAIG.)
Mr. CRAW this morning gave iudgeinent in the ease of
• d in
tfaimnt of the name of Calf. 111 r. Calf, who reside
St. Botoiph, Aldgate, had been. in :wear seven qua!:ltearss
poor-rates, and in June lest it appeared that he, as tvel
s also in arrear,
everal other individuals in that parish, .
summoned before the overseer, 1
eaurchwaydens, and ot
inent
of
the
r
parochial officers, to show cause why the
l
a
fees due from them should not he enforced
Mr. Calf attended, and stated that he Was uenn;
able to pay the full amount of the rates, et The
same time offering to pay a portion of them. of
amount of the rates due was 275., and Mr. Calf
/ered to pay 16n, by two instalments of Bs. each, which 57
he paid within a fortnight afterwards.. The collector, fin
ing that 16s. was just the amount of the last
gave Mr. Calf receipts for those rates, but no rceriP
for the two first quarters, which amounted to I Is. Se
ral questions arose in this case, first, whether, inasmuch
the remission was not for any particular rate, but for Ph_r_
tion of all the rates due, the sum paid ought not to be eh,"_
siderecl as a payment in satisfaction of all the rates le.irt
which the party had been summoned, aod if s°,'
was urged he must be considered its having ue,"l
seconebr
excused the payment of part of each rate.
it was contended that if Mr. Calf was excused PaYing htioel
rate, he must be considered as hating received Perhe'sr,
relief within the meaning of the Reform Act, and
disqualified from voting : and thirdly, it was contenuee
that Mr. Calf, before he could be entitled to have
quart.ert
placed on the list, must pay all rates that may at anY timid
have become due from him. On the first point he slieu
give no decision, not being able to say whether the soh rcel;
ceived by the parish officers ought to be apportioneeluO°.
the whole seven quarters, as his opinion on the third rim
raised would decide the question of whether the claim chto
be allowed. As to the second point, the inclination ef t
opinion was, the remission of a portion of the rates wes 71,
such a granting of parochial relief or alms es caw
they'hi
his
ntai ede
within the meaning of the Art. Upon the third ilabat
tion he had reluctantly come to the conclusion
rat:,
the Act of Parliament peremptorily demanded all
due, at whatever time, or for whatever period, for thirst'be
liaises in respect of which a party claimed to vote, m I
paid before that claim could be allowed. It might bard 00
that that construction of the Act would press very :),,
parties who from misfortunes had not been able to paY":
due at a remote period; but that was the Only, constru%
e
he could satisfactorily to his own mind put upon that clalse
of the Act ; otherwise a party might have his name no
Ia
registry year after year without paying any rates at all' io
some parishes a poor-rate was only made once a year' do
others not so often ; and supposing a yearly rate to be maid
between
the 6th of April and the 31st of July, it ",thatu
not be necessary that an individual should have Paid e
rate before he would be entitled to vote, and if he were
asked whether he had paid the rate due on the 6th of .Arae.a'
he would reply, " No, there was no rate then clue." It BPPear
therefore to him that all rates, whenever due, must be pal
before a party could have his name placed on the registrY
and therefore Mr. Calf's name must be expunged from

the lists. , gr.
Mr. HOLMES—Then am Ito understand, Sir, tha' he
Calf cannot have his name placed on the registry until
pays the balance of I Is. due from him ? a
Mr. CRAlG—Certainly. The sum is very Small'amts
have no doubt that rather than be deprived of his
Mr. Calf will pay it.
Mr. ROWCROFT admitted it was a hard case, but the
Act
M of Parliament must be attended to. Alefi
Mr. TIJOU said the decision would give rise to eD
litigation, because searches would be made as far back
es
twenty years for the purpose of seeing whether all the olt
had been paid or not. that
Mr. ROWCROFT trusted that among the alterations -
would be made in the Reform Act, a clause would be jar°.
duced to provide for cases of this kind.

INSOLVENT CGURT_(rllis DO')

(Before the CHIEF COMMiSSIONER.)
The COURT this morning disposed of several cases whic..ll.,
were unopposed, the facts of which were or a totally u"
interesting character. ti.e
Mr. John Frederick Archbold, the barrister, and, on
author of several eminent law works, applied
his petition to be discharged. jab
Mr. C. JONES, on the part of a creditor named e
and a Mr. James Phillips, in person, opposed the discharge

the copyright of several of the legal works wrt
by Mr. Archbold were devoted to te benefit cl
yesterday'
creditors. Since then the Learned Insolvent
written three other works, the profits of which,
cording to the provisions of the deed, would be OPT-,
priated for the benefit of his estate. By the deed it via"
also provided that Mr. Archbold should give up two-thirds
of his income (which at that time was extremely handsonic);
to his creditors ; and by this arrangement Mr. Archboi:
was in hopes of paying all his creditors in full. With tbi
exception of the two creditors who now opposed the
vent's discharge, all his other creditors had signed the deet
and expressed themselves perfectly satisfied at the eour,si.
adopted by the insolvent. Mr. Phillips was a creditor Oh.
a small amount arising out of law proceedings. Mr' Arcbold, some years ago, rented chambers of a
Symond's Inn, for which be had been sued for dotiTee
rent. The trustees under the deed had Paid t
debt and costs ; and there was at present a Pabalanc©
duo to Mr. Phillips, arising from further proceedil:
which had been taken against the Marshal of the
Queen's Bench for an alleged escape. Mr. Phillip-intotlje

Mr. Archbold stated that he had been harassedcc

then to the present period by Mr. Phillips.

On the part of the other opposing creditor, an "litgr.
was instituted respecting the deed ofassignment ; an
Jones stated that he was satisfied that Mr. Archbold

greatly beneritted his estate. der
After some further discussion, Mr. Archbold was °r
