MONEY AND COMMERCIAL N s

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—The
sales this day are 3,000 bags, without alteration in
prices. Americans barely supported Friday's quotations.
The Helena, from Quebec, arrived at Liverpool,
spoke the Gnat Western steamrr on the 201.11, .5 P.M.,
long. 8, from Bristol to New York, wind E.N.E.

The accounts received this morning from Manchester
state that owing to the absence of demand, and the
gloom which has prevailed in the market for some weeks
past still continuing, the prices both of yarn and goods
are gradually declining, and the working of short time
is gradually extending ; and unless a change for the
better takes place, it will no doubt become general
throughout the district.

The Hamburg mail has arrived of the 22d October,
by which we have received the exchanges on London
the same as the previous mail, 13 3 ; gold, 43 li—one-
half mark higher.

Accounts were received in the course of yesterday
from China, by the way of St. Helena, to the 16th of
June, several days later than last received. These ac-
counts fully coi.firm the news received through the
commander of the American ship Panama, that no alte-
ration had taken place in the prospects of the Chinese
merchants. The trade continued suspended, and all
the English vessels had left Whampoa. The Reliance
and George the Fourth were to sail from the saute!
anchorage in a day or two ; the Trusty had gone to
New Holland ; and three vessels, which had come in
from India with cotton, &c., were still remaining, with
their cargoes on board, waiting the result of the pend-
ing difficulties between her Majesty's Superintendan t
and the Chinese authorities.

Graham's Town Papers (Cape of Good Hope) have
been received to the 16th August. The depredations
of the Caffres are again becoming troublesome. The
advices from Port Natal state the return of the expedi-
tion sent to meet Dingaan, and finally conclude the ar-
rangements of peace, as well as to receive back the
cattle and sores which had been captured. The latter
were delivered up to some extent, but the expedition
returned without coming to any final settlement with
Dingaan.

IN RE MICHAEL MOSS.

" THE SCHOOLMASTER WANTED."—IR this case the
sureties were opposed on the ground that the schedule
was incomplete, by debts being left out, and the case
was adjourned to file amendments.
Mr. Commissioner Harris gave a hint to the attor-
ney's clerk to take some lessons in the mother tongue.
He said some of the most ordinary words were incor-
rectly spelt.
The attorney's clerk, or" professional adviser," seemed
alarmed. He said, " Really, Sir, I was not aware. I
am sure I did not know."

Chief Commissioner—Oh, no ; we take it for granted
you did not, sir. Of course, you could not.—(A lau !h.)
Henry Hart Davis was liberated on bail. It ap-
peared that his debts were about 700/., incurred some
time ago. He had been in no business for year.s, hut
had been supported on his wife's income. She w^3 a
teacher of dancing, and realised about 600/. a year. She
had, however, been seriously indisposed sinca May, and
hence arose his insolvency.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS inquired into the truth
of the statement.

The insolvent said his wife was principally empLYed
three months in the year, June, July, and August. She
was taken ill at the commencement of this season.
'['he bail was accepted.

We learn from an authority which enables us to
state it as a fact that the Bishop of Exeter, in the course
of a recent correspondence with Lord John Russell on
rae dence
the subject of the Government scheme of education, has
expressed himself in terms of approval of its principle,
and proposes a conference between the Committee of
Privy Council on Education and the Bishops, for the

duction will be found most active in contributing to its
success.—Evening Paper.
By a letter in the Montrose Review, we see that
the Rev. Mr. Campbell, of that town, has had pro-
perty to the amount of 31. taken from his house, and
exposed for sale, in consequence of his refusal to pay
the sum of seven shillings levied upon him for minis-
ters' stipend. Two days alter the removal, it appears
that the Reverend Gentleman received szinepence as
the surplus of the purchase money over the rate, and
the expences consequent on his refusal to pay.
We de-
light to proclaim such cases, and to hold up the suf-
ferers from ecclesiastical oppression to deserved honour.
Mr. Campbell has distinguished himself by his able ad-
%otacy of the principles of religious freedom, and he has
here shown that he is willing to suffer as well as to plead
in their defence. Were his example generally followed
by all whose principles are similar, we should soon see
an end of such unrighteous exactions,—s„itw, Pilot.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English Grain this;Ve;l:have been moderate,
and good of Foreign Wheat and Oats. In consequence of the
il.uty on Foreign Wheat having advanced to 16s. Bd., higher
prices were demanded by the factors, and Is. to 2s. per quarter
more than Monday has been obtained for Foreign, but English
is unaltered in value. In other Grain no variation. Little
done in Flour this week exc. pt for the best fresh made.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, OCT. 19.—Our Hop market for fide
Hops is about the same as last week, but middling and
inferior samples meet with very little attention, and uru
difficult to sell, although offered at a decline of 3s. p
cwt. from the prices last quoted. There was a mate; i‘d
falling off in the supply, the great bulk of the Hops in
offer being those that remained unsold last market d .y.
The quantity weighed was 1,047 pockets of new, and
37 pockets of old ; and 885 pockets passed the scares
during the week. The present prices are—the best new
Hops, 68s. to 755. ; second rate, 555. to 635. per cwt.
Duty called 10,0001.
DISTRICT REPORTS.—From all the Hop districts we
find they have finished the picking for the season. In
East Kent they are expected to produce about the same
quantity as last year, with a quality not so good, except
the latter picking. Mid Kent, about Maidstone, Bar-
ming, Farleigh, Terton, East and West Mailing, Had-
low, and the two Peckhams, with several other parishes,
prove short of last year ; yet on the hills they get
something more. On the whole, including the Weald
of Kent, it is expected the Kent district will exceed
last year's produce by about 10 or 12m. old duty. Sus-
sex also is expected to pay rather more, though in many
Parts they get about the same, the Hops proving so
light at the scale. The growers throughout these va-
rious districts consider the present estimate of duty
much over-rated, and many are consequently holdieg
back to obtain better prices, feeling confident the duty
will not exceed 205 m.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT

"AN EXPERIENCED 111;a."—Alexander Davis, one
of " our people," applied to be discharged on sureties.
He appeared very deaf.
Chief Commissioner—You are an experienced man,
Mr. Davis, in this Court.
The insolvent shook his head ; whether he meant a
good deal was not known. It was certainly not an ex-
pressive shake.
Chief Commissioner—l say you are experienced. You
have been once a bankrupt and twice an insolvent. '[his
is your " third appearance" as an insolvent.
The insolvent made no reply. " The least said the
soonest mended."

The Court examined the proposed sureties.

The Chief Commissioner asked him if he had voted
in respect of the house now rented by his daughter ?
Insolvent—No.
Chief Commissioner—AM I see you can hear me

The Court accepted the bail, and the insolvent was
liberated till the 9th cf December.

The first Anniversary Dinner of the Hotel and
Tavern-keeper's Benevolent Institution, the object of
which is the establishment of a fund fur the permanent
or t,Anporary assistance of members, their Sri !ore=, and
o:•ildrf a, toak Idace yest..rd,v evening- at the London
C Luti_,ne 11111.

The Chair was taken by BENJAMIN BOND CADDELL,
; and at half-past six nearly two hundred gentle-
men sat down to an entertainment of which it is unne-
cessary to say more than that it was worthy of Love-
grove's high character for good taste and liberality, and
that the wines reedit, d the unanimous. approval of a
c,mpany which included some of the best judges in the
metropolis.
After the usual loyal nr:d patriotic toasts had been
g:v, n and cordially responded to, the Chairman gave,
" Prosperit:, to the Hotel and Tavern-keeper's Benevo-
lent Institution ;" prefacing the toast by some very ex-
cellent and appropriate aservAtions on its merits, and
the claims which it had upon puhl:c sympathy and

suppOit.
Mr. BLEADEN, of the London Tavern, returned
thnnks, detailing the history of the formation of the
Institution—pointing nut the benefits it was calculated
to conferr upon aged and necessitous members—and in-
culcating the advantages of frugality and economy.
In the course of the evening the Secretary, Mr.
NEWBON, amidst loud applause, read a long and cheer-
ing fist of donations and subscriptions, amounting to
nearly 4001.
There was a very full attendance of professional
singers, including Messrs., Bellamy, Broadhurst, Atkins,
Hawkins, Fitzwilliarn, Robinson, and Masters Martin
and Cliff, whose exertions contributed much to the har-
mony and hilarity of the evening ; the enjoyments of
which were protracted to an advanced hour.

CIVILIZATION IN EGYPT.

CAIRO, JUNE, 1839.—As I intend spending
some time at Cairo I shall be able to afford you
some sketches of the interior of the country.
lii
the meantime I deem it an indispensable duty to
acquaint you, in hopes that you will give it all the
publicity it deserves, with an atrocious scene which
passed some days previous to my arrival at Cairo,
where it has excited universal indignation. The
occurrence, which is still the theme of all conversa-
tions, has been related to me by eye-witnesses,
whose veracity cannot be questioned.
Doctor Clot Bey, Officer of the Legion of
Honour, and, as you are aware, Inspector of the
Sanitary Service of the Viceroy's Land and Sea
Forces, Member Correspondent of the principal
Academies and Societies of Medicine of France,
Italy, &c., had long applied for leave of absence,
in order to restore his health in Europe. The
favour was granted immediately after Mehemet
Ali's return from his journey to the celebrated mines
of Fazoglou, and Clot Bey was about to start, when
the arrival of M. Cochelet, French Consul-General
at Alexandria, who alighted at his house, obliged
the illustrious Doctor to postpone his departure for
some days, in order to do the honours of his resi-
dence and of the capital to his new guest.

One morning as M. Cochelet was receiving some
visits in. his apartment, among others M. Tippel,
French Consul at Cairo, and M. Jouanin, the
Chancellor, cries of " Help I Murder I" were sud-
denly heard, uttered by a female voice, in the neigh-
bouring room, where was M. Clot's cabinet. The
door was opened, when a woman in tears, and co-
vered with blood. came and threw herself at the
knees of M. Cochelet, whose clothes she covered
with blood, imploring his protection against Ciot
Bey, whom she accused of wishing to kill her. The
latter immediately appeared, pale, agitated, furious,
and justifying in some measure by his aspect the
terrible charge borne against him. The following
had given rise to the scene :—About to quit Egypt,
Clot Bey summoned before him his slaves, and in-
formed them that in his absence they should inha-
bit a house which he mentioned. One of these
poor creatures, whom her master had rendered a
mother, took the liberty of observing that she should
not invoke the rights which that sacred title gave
her according to the Mussulman law (which was
applicable on the occasion, since Clot Bey lived as
a Mussulman), but that she begged him to make
other arrangements with regard to her, as she could
not live in the house he pointed out—a house in
which she had so much to suffer during his pre-
ceding journey to Syria. M. Clot heard no- more,
but seizing a forceps that lay close to him, he
rushed upon the woman, furiously gave her seve-

His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which
came before the Court upon the construction of a bot-

Master, to inquire what, on the 13th of June, 1821,
was due and payable on the bond, and what money was
at that time necessary for the purpose of discharging
other demands against the ship, what amount was re-
quired to enable her to complete her voyage, and what
were the resources in the hands of Mr. James Stewart,
in Calcutta, applicable to the payment of the bond and
the other demands on the vessel.

VICTORIA THEATRE,

A new meta drama, entitled Hidden Guilt ; or, The
Iron Collar, was produced at this theatre last evening
with complete success. The following is an outline of
the story --Eugene Martel (Mr. Hicks) has, in his
early youth, becn convicted as
se felon, and condemned
to the galleys ; he escapes, and settles in the neighbour-
hood of La Rochelle, whr:re he assumes the name of
La Palette ; he is the benefactor of all around him,
and is adored by all the inilabitants of La Rochelle and
its neighbourhood ; Lauriston (Mr. M. Watkins) seeks
La Valette's daughter, Josephine (Mrs. Hicks)
in marri:lke, but she prefeis Gustave, her father's
clerk. Dupre, the uncle of Lauriston, having
become acquainted with La Valette's secret, who,
as Eugene Martel, had, previous to his condemnation,
married Madeline, the betrothed of Dupre, gives him
into custody on the day of Josephine's marriage. Lau-
riston, furious at his uncle's conduct, demands certain
papers belonging to him, intending to quit France for
ever. Amongst these papers he finds a pardon for
Eugene Martel, which Dupre had kept back, and all,
of course, ends happily. The part of Lauriston was
supported by Mr. Montague Watkins, from the Theatre
Royal, Manchester, his first appearance. He was well
received, and will prove exceedingly useful, as
in addition to the character of Lauriston, in
which he displayed considerable powers as a
melodramatic actor, he afterwards appeared as Cap-
tain Vivid, a light comedy part, in the farce of the
Siamese Twins, and, although he had little to do, he
did that little well. Great praise is due to the fair
Lessee for her successful endeavours in raising the
character of this house ; and we are happy to see that
her exertions are properly appreciated by the public.
The performances were very good, and the audience
numerous and highly respectable.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Rte. 16.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice
COLERIDGE and a Common Jury.)
THOMPSON V. COLTER.

This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 281.,
accepted by the defendant, a wholesale silk warehouse-
man, of Friday-street, Cheapside. The defendant
ploaded that a part of the acceptance, namely the
words, " at Glynn, Mills, and C 0.," under his name,
were not in his handwriting.
Mr. CARRINGTON, for the defendant, submitted that
the alteration made in the bill was a material one, and
as it had not been sho"sn by the plaintiff that it had
been made with the defendant's consent, the plaintiff
must be nonsuited. The Learned Gentleman cited a
case from Carrington and Paynes' Reports in support
of that position.
Mr. Justice COLNIUDGU—Have you any other au-
thorities ?
Mr. CARRINGTON—Oh yes, my Lord, a good many
others—some I have not brought with me.
Mr. PLATT (for the plaintiff)—Have you any autho-
rities the other way ?
Mr. CARRINGTON.--NO, not one.
Mr. PLATT--.oh, these are the cases you have left
at home.—( Laughter.)
The Learned JUDGE having left it to the Jury to
say whether the addition of the words " at Ginn,
Mills, and Co." was made before or after the acceptance.
Tne Jury having looked at the bill, said they observed
the words " 15, Friday-street," under the acceptance,
and they were therefore of opinion that the other words
were added after acceptance.
A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff, with leave
to the defendant to enter a nonsuit it the full Court
should be of opinion that the alteration was a material
one.

MARYLEBONE.

" SERVED HIM RlGHT."—Yesterday John Fiela, of How-
id:id-mews, was charged with assault on George Shelley, the
,11 of a tradesman of Tottenham-court-road.

The complainant, whose eye was dreadfully blood-shot,
siated that on Monday evening he was passing to his father's
stables in the above mews, when the defendant suddenly
;A:ed upon him with a stout broom handle, and exclaiming,
" I'll murder you," at the same instant felled him to the
E : ound by a tremendous blow from the weapon. He was quite
i:.,ensible, and was conveyed away for surgical assistance by a
~ung man who witnessed the blow.
The defendant said that the complainant bad acted the part
of a villain, in having seduced his daughter, a girl not more
t:: in seventeen years of age, and she was enceinte by him.
Mr. RAY/UNION inquired for the girl, who came forward,
ai.d having confirmed her father's statement, Mr. Rawlinson
d Anissed the warrant, on the grounds of the great provocation
which the defendant had received.

_
STATE or TRADE.--There has been exceedingly
little business doing during the last few days, either in yarn
or manufactured goods ; and purchasers generally show
g• pat 'disinclination to give the advance which the late rise
in the cotton market compels the spinners and manufac-
turers to demand.—Manchester Guardian.
Yesterday afternoon a man was received into Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, having fallen a distance of from thirty
to forty feet while cleaning the windows of the Old Bell
tavern, in Little Friday-street. He was dreadfully injured,
and lies in a precarious state.

An inquest was held yesterday at Bartholomew's
Hospital on the body of a man named Aley, who was lite-
rally smashed to pieces by the falling of a large stone,
v., ighing upwards of a ton, upon him, while he and hia. fel-
low-workmen were endeavouring to lower it at a building in
liluorgate-stroet, City. Verdict, " Accidental Death."
WATCH DOGS.-It would seem that the teeth of
d, gs arc not merely an useless appendage to their masters,
but the use of them is illegal. Man—for his defence in
tl'e dead of night, or in the garish glare of day if he like—
m ,y have a barking dog, but if the animal, to protect the
I,mily's life or property, should ever show his teeth, woe to
the owner of the trusty guardian, for in a recent case re-
s; ecting an attack by a ferocious dog, it was stated by
Counsel that any one who keeps a dog, known to bite,
loose about his premises, is liable to be prosecuted, if the
animal bite even a trespasser ; and that the law will pre-
sume knowledge of the ferocity of the animal on the part
of the owner. The same principle which forbids the set-
ting of steel traps and spring guns extending to ferocious
animals.

ARRESTS FOR TREASON.

Charles F. Meunch, of this place, Charles Pray, of the
county of Philadelphia, and John Savage, of the city of Phi-
ladelphia, hare been arrested for treason, and entered into re-
cognizance for their appearance at trial. Other arrests are
going on—M'Cahen, the incendiary from the Poqt-office of
Philadelphia, learning that writs were out, precipitately left
here ti:s morning.
LATEST FROM THE PACIFIC.

Extract from a letter, dated Valparaiso, Sept., 1838, re-
ceived by th• Philip Hone the 21st August the Chi-
lians entered Lima, after defeating the Peruvians at the en-
trance of that city. Get;: Obregozo, with about 600 cavalry,
fled to Zurin, 20 miles from Lima, and Nieto retreated to
the Castle of Callao, with about seven hundred men, where he
was deposed by his troops, who declared in favour of General
Santa Cruz. There were at last dates in the Castle about
1,200 men, and should the Chilians not succeed in defeating
them, their situation will be very precarious, as General
Santa Cruz was said to Ise within twenty days' march of Lima
,4th 9,000 men. It is impossible to form any opinion of the
result of the expedition. Most persons believe the Chilina
army vvii2 be entirely destroyed."
