above the value of the fish, inasmuch as the water
did not " run through or be in the land adjoining
or belonging to the dwelling-house of the person
being the owner of the said water." It was
therefore clearly wrong of Mr. BAGSUANVE to at-
tempt to inflict injuries so far beyond the extent of
the punishment authorised bylaw ; and through his
own culpable rashness he met his death, and his coun-
try has to deplore the loss of a fine, high-spirited
gentleman. We trust that other game-preservers
may derive a profitable lesson from this melan-
choly event—that they may strive to act legally
themselves while endeavouring to make others re-
spect the law. Not an assizes takes place that
Judges do not deprecate, in the strongest terms,
the employment of ferocious dogs and formidable
weapons by gamekeepers, matters which stimulate
the poachers to resistance. They—the poachers
—are bound, under a heavy penalty, not to re-
sist their lawful apprehension, but there is no law
to compel them to submit to be torn by a savage
beast, or to submit to a beating from those ap-
pointed to preserve game or fish a d to capture
trespassers.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, including 2,000 American
taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed with firmness at previous rites. The sales
comprised 6,500 bales of American, 50 Pernam and
iVlaranham at 6id., 400 Egyptian at 74d., 400
Surat at 3d. to 31d., and 20 Sea Island at is. lid.
to ls. 2d. per lb. Railway Shares were steady.
The West India accounts notice the various
plans suggested in Jamaica for raising the value of
the Island Notes, but none of them seemed imme-
diately practicable. The Panama Railway was
drawing labour away, which had given rise to much
discussion.

The accounts received from Hamburgh state
that the French troops arrived in the Baltic had
all the requisites for a winter sojourn, including
the hospital necessaries, &c. It was supposed the
islands of Oesel and Dagoe would be occupied.
These are in the Gulf of Finland, and the first
named is tolerably populous, facing, in some
measure, the coast of Courland and Livonia. In
Poland, General Rudiger, it was stated, will be
Commander-in-Chief of the army, and during the
war,Prince Peter of Oldenburgb, brother-in-law of
the Grand Duke Constantine, will be the Viceroy.
The meetings of the Danish Cabinet are stated
in advices from Copenhagen to be very frequent.
Letters from Birmingham referring to the iron
trade mention that the resolution which was adopt-
ed at the last preliminary quarterly meeting, when
it was declared that the prices of iron should con-
tinue at figures not before nominally acknowledged,
while 20s. to 40s. per ton advance was demanded
on the last quarter's terms, had given rise to some
dissatisfaction. There was a threatened strike on
the part of the puddlers, which, however, would be
powerfully resisted. The trade continues firm and
prosperous, and with every appearance of continu-
ing so.
There has been a dull market again for public
securities, and the quotations are without any
material change. Consols have been 92/ to for
transfer, but not lower than 921 for account. The
rumour of several arrests again at Paris was spoken
of as adverse to prices, but the support which the
market most needs is some positive indication of
Austrian policy. The steamer Tamar, from Mexico,
brings upwards of 300,0001. in specie. The New
31- per per Cents. have been quoted 93 to 9312 and
the 3 per Cents. 921 to 92g. Exchequer Bills have
been done at par to 3s. premium, and India Bonds
at 2s. premium. East India Stock is firm at 225.
There have been no transactions in Bank Stock.

There is quite a stagnation of business in the
Foreign Stock Market, only one bargain being
quoted, namely, in Spanish 3 per Cents. at 37i—
a slight improvement. All the other securities
are nominal. Russian Fives at 97 to 99, and
Mexican at 24i to 241. The remittance for the
dividend is 72,000 dollars.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 6i ; Mexi-
can, 248 to 245- ; Peruvian, 66 to 68 ; Ditto 3 per
Cents., 50 to 52 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 39 to
41 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 97 to 99 • Ditto 41 per
Cents., 81 to 83 ; Spanish New Deferred, 181 to
18i ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 36i to 371 ; Ditto Certi-
ficates, 3i to 4 ; Ditto Passive, 31 to 4.

There is not much animation in Railway Shares,
but there is generally a rising tendency. The lines
most dealt in are—Great. Northern, Brighton,
North Western, and Great Western. The foreign
lines are very dull.
Mining shares are extremely inactive, excepting
Pontgiband, in which there have been several bar-
gains. Joint Stock Banks are neglected, and
Land Companies are flat. Crystal Palace are
weaker.

The Russians have concentrated 300,000 men on
the Dniester, in Volhynia and Podolia.
The head quarters are at Mohilew.
The Austrian Correspondcnz, under date of
Bucharest, 26th inst., says that General Budberg
had held a council of war at Frateschti, to consult
upon a retreat.
A Russian corps at Slatina and Rimnik forms
the rearguard against the Ottomans from Lesser
