selling but moderately. Lard is 665. to 695. per cwt.

difficult of transaction, as the samples could not be seen.
There was nothing, however, for sale that could sensibly
affect the market, the goods advertised being only three par-
cels of Raw Sugar, one of Coffee, and one of Rice. The
market continues very firm for all commodities, and will,
doubtless, be so until the end of the year. The imports are
heavier. For to-morrow we have public sales of Wool, and
none of East or West India produce.

ADMINISTRATION. OF.JusTicE.—A novel mode
of administering criminal justice has lately been introduced,
not only into the proceedings before Magistrates, but even
into higher Courts, by some of the Judges. It is this—of
dealing with criminal offences as if they were mere private
injuries, and of allowing prosecutors to proceed with or
withdraw their charges (those even of the highest character),
as they may elect ; whereas, it is the duty of these func-
tionaries to remember that the offence, if any, is an offence
against the Skate, and that the prosecutor is nothing more
thana witness for the CcOWP.—Morning Herald,

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—The demand
for Cotton to-day has been only to a moderate extent, with-
out change in prices, and principally to the trade. •The
sales are 3,000 of all kinds.

Arrivals this morning—French and Hamburgh mails ;
ship letters from Demerara and Quebec ; Bombay by the
King William.

The splendid new packet ship Roscius, Captain Collins,
from New York, is hourly expected. She was to sail on
the 25th ult., being full of passengers and cargo.

Accounts are said to be received from Bahia of the 28th
October, stating that another Revolution had taken place
there.

THE FUNDS.

We have no arrivals of any consequence to the present
time, the ship letters being of old dates. The foggy
weather throws a damp on speculating in the Funds,, as
well as commercial transactions.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 931 94 for the Ac-
count, opened at the same price this morning, with little
doing at present.
The revolution at Bahia is not confirmed to the present
hour, nor can we ascertain by what ship it has been re-
ceived, although it appears probable, as revolutions in South
America are very common events. It has had an effect on
the Brazilian Stock, which has receded about 1 per cent.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The Trinidad Standard gis es a statement of the Revenue
of that Colony for the present year. The Revenue is
put clown at 48,3851. ss. 2d. The total estimate for the
Expenditure of the year 1839 is 45,7011. 16s. 10d.
The above amounts of Revenue are both in Sterling.
There are Savings' Banks in the Island, and it appears
that a sum of 24,2961. 9s. 3d. Sterling have been deposited
in them. The estimated available balance is put down at
16,032/. Is. 7d., on the 31st of December, 1838, and the
excess of Revenue over Expenditure for the present year,
2,6831. Bs. 4d. 1

The comparative statement of the principal items of re-
venue for the: years 1835, 1836, and 1837, shows an in-
crease in 1836 on 1835 in every branch, and in 1837 over
1836 of all except exports and fees of office.
In consequence of the inclement state of the weather,
and the heavy rain which fell in the mountain district of the
parish of St. Andrew, the public meeting which was ad-
vertised did not take place, there being a very thin atten-
dance.

On Saturday evening last a riot took place at Rochfori
of rather a serious nature.

The continuance of the gloomy weather during the whole
of the morning, has had some trifling effect on the British
Market. Consols which were in the early part of the
morning at 93i 91, for the Account, have receded to 934,
with rather a heavy market. Reduced, 927,-r Govern-
ment broker has purchased about 6,000 Reduced at 93.
We do not hear of a feature worth noticing, with the
exception that the Hebrews are great Bulls both in Con-
sols and Dutch Stock. Exchequer Bills, 66 64 ; India
Bonds, 63 ; Bank Stock, 2024; India Stock, nothing doing.

The Hon. Henry Liddell, M.P., and Mrs. Lid-
dell, arrived at Brighton on Thursday last from Ravens-
worth Castle, Northumberland, owing to the alarming in-
disposition of Lord George Seymour, father of the Hon.
Member's Lady.

Fletcher, who with others was tried at the late
Sessions of the Central Criminal Court for being con-
cerned in the robbery at St. Katharine's Docks, and ac-
quitted, applied yesterday through his solicitor to the
Magistrates of Lambeth-street, for restitution of the pro-
perty which had been taken from him. Mr. Pelham, for
the Company, resisted the application. The Bench would
make no order on the subject, and Fletcher's solicitor
threatened an action against the officer who holds the
property.

A few days ago a policeman on duty in the Regent's
Park discovered a bundle lying within the enclosure near
the Zoological Gardens, and, on opening it, found that it
contained two smaller packages, in each of which was the
half of a body of a child, apparently new born. The cloth
in which the mutilated remains were wrapped up was ap-
parently part of a woman's merino gown, of fine texture.
The body was removed to the workhouse of St. Pancras
parish, and, information having been forwarded to the Co-
roner, an inquest was held last night, but no evidence
was adduced tending to throw any light on the mysterious
affair. A general verdict of " Found exposed" was re-
turned. The cloth remains with the parish officers, for the
purpose of being identified.

The passengers recorded in our shipping intelli-
gence of last week as being on board of the brig IVender,
of this port, at the time of her disastrous wreck on Win-
terton Beach, prove to be the sister of Andrew White,
Esq., one of the Representatives of this Borough,
and her husband ; part of a letter, with some other tokens,
but too faithfully confirming the truth of the statement,
having been found amongst the wheat with which the un-
fortunate vessel was laden.—Sunderland Beacon.
NOVEL WATCII-HOUSES.—On some farms near
Salisbury, moveable watch-houses are made use of to pre-
vent depredations among the flocks and other exposed pro-
perty :—A waggon is covered in with thatch, and each end
boarded up and fitted with a door ; the back of the waggon
is drawn up close to the sheep-fold, and thus affords a corn•
fortable lodging for the shepherd and boy, thereby render-
ing the crime of sheep stealing almost impossible. There
can be little doubt that the adoption of so easy a mode of
watching agricultural property will become general.—lnlt-
shire Independent.

At Marylebone Office, yesterday, William Mitchell,
a ruffianly-looking young man, residinr, in Smith's-place,
Somers-town, was charged with violently assaulting, with a
poker, Police-Sergeant Davies, 15 S, whose hat was by
the blow completely cut through, and had it not been for
the thick patent leather with which the crown thereof is
encircled he would probably have been killed. Fined 3/.
and in default committed for six weeks.

George Warrington, a constable in the B division
of Police, was yesterday fined 101. by the Queen-square
Magistrates, and, in default of
i payment, sent to hard la-
bour for three months, for an indecent assault, of a very
gross character, upon a respectable married woman, on Sa-
turday night, while on his beat.
