UNDER-SHERIFF'S COURT.
NORTH v. MILLER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—This cause was reported in your paper of the
18th instant, and I am sorry to say that many of the
profession to whom I am not well known imagined
that it was I who conducted the case for the plaintiff,
from the fact of the name of a Mr. Collins being as-
sociated with that of Mr. May—a gentleman in my
office being named Collins. You will oblige me by
allowing this erroneous impression to be corrected
by inserting this letter in the next number of your
widely. circulating journal.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant, J. BOWEN MAY.

THE NEPHEW OF THE EMPEROR.—La Liberte
publishes the following anecdote, under the title of " Be-
nevolence of the nephew of the Emperor." A fact is men-
tioned which proves the excellence of Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte's heart, and which is rendering him exceed.
ingly popular amongst the laborious and suffering
classes. The svelte of an insurgent of June, occupying
miserable gsrrat in the Cite, lost her husband in June
last during the attack on the Petit Pont. She was re-
ducea to the most extreme distress, with a family of
five children, of whom the eldest was only ten years
of age, and having been informed by a neighbour that
the President of the Republic had arrived at the Hotel
Dieu to visit it, she requested a friend to write on a sheet
of paper these simple words:—" The wife of an insur-
gent killed at the barricades, daughter of an old sol-
dier, the mother of five children, reduced to starvation,
has no hopes but in you. She lives at such a number,
in such a street." She threw the paper into the Presi-
dent's carriage, which waited on the Place Notre Dame.
The President of the Republic did not perceive the paper
until he was alighting at the Palais Elysee. The fol-
lowing day a titivate carriage stopped in front of the
house indicated in the paper, and a gentleman having
made some inquiries in the neighbourhood, ascended to
the garret, where the most appalling distress presented
itself to his sight. " What does the gentleman wish ?"
said the poor woman. " I bring you assistance in the
name of the President of the Republic." " Oh, my God I
he has taken pity on me. I was told he was charitable
and humane to the poor." " What do you require for the
moment, my poor woman?" " 20f. to pay my rent, and
some trifle to keep my children from starving until I can
procure employment." " Well, lam charged to give
you those two notes of 100 f. each." At the sight of the
notes the poor woman had nearly fainted. Her first im•
pulse was to embrace her children, exclaiming, " You
are saved!" The stranger, visibly affected, withdrew,
leaving a visiting card, and telling her to come to his
address whenever she required assistance. Great was
her astonishment when she read on the card, "The Pre-
sident of the Republic." She burst into tears and ran
down stairs to the house porter to communicate her de-
light. " What!" said he, "that gentleman so simply
attired was the nephew of the Emperor ! Ah, had I
known him, I would have asked permission to embrace
him." The entire neighbourhood was soon informed of
the visit of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. "It is like the
period of the empire," said one, when speaking the fol-
lowing day of the President's noble action.
RIPEESENTATION OF ROCHDALE.—We understand
that it is the intention of Mr. Sharman Crawford to re-
sign the representation of Rochdale at the close of the
present Parliament. In consequence of this a private
canvass is said to be taking place among the Whig party
as to the choice of a candidate. There are two names
mentioned—Mr. John Hoyle and Mr. Jacob Bright, jun.
We hope the Conservatives are on the alert, for, with
either of the above gentlemen for an opposing candidate,
there need be no fear of the result.—Manchester Courier.

THE NAvr.—The Navy Club of the Thatched
House Tavern held their annual dinner at St. James's,
last evening. Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P.,
the newly-elected President of the ancient club, was in
the chair, aed was well supported by a lot of gallant and
distinguished officers. By the regulations of. this society,
one gentleman only, who is not a member, is allowed to
be introduced at its festivals ; and this privilege is
awarded to the president in favour of his friend, On the
present occasion the gallant and popular chairman most
appropriately invited, as his friend, the French Ambas-
sador, that eminent officer of the French navy, Vice-
Admiral Cecile, who, with the most good feeling cor-
dially accepted the honour of meeting a body of distin-
guished British naval officers.
FIRE AND WATER.—John Taison, an Indian na-
tive of Connecticut, being found dead on a winter morn-
ing, not far from a tavern, where he had ben drinking
freely
.of spirituous liquors the evening before, the In-
dians immediately assembled a jury of their own tribe,
who, after examining the body of tila dt•funct, unani-
ttottey agreed, " That the said Titill),l:3 Ch .0.11 1-.'3,3 occa-
sioned by the free4ing of a large quantity of wat,,r in
his body that had been imprudently mixed with the rum
ho drank."

'HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWF.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
in a very excited state, and a large business
was done; sales were variously Estimated at from
30,000 to 35,000 bales ; the prices of all
kinds were id. higher, and in some instances /d.
was obtained for mid. qualities of American. The quo-
tations were—American, aid. to &id.; PPrnams and
Maranhorns, sd. to Bahia, sid. to 5/cl.; Egyptian,
siil. to 6/d.; Surats, 3d. to 4d.; and Sea Island, Bd. to
11d. per lb. The market for Railway Shares was better,
Prices wero a shade high-er, end a large business was
don,„

There -sores curiosity expressed to learn
whether the Bxnk of Englund would lower its terms of
discount, and if any alteration occurs we shall notice it
in_thn latter part of this article.

Doubts are expressed whether the amendment of *ea
navigation. hews will bo agreed to in the Lords, but ilea
feeling in the City is that there will be a large majority
in the Commons. As a further instanee of the want of
energy or ability on the part of our ship Owners, with all
their protection, we give the following from Odessa:—
" The number of vessels arrived last. year was 1,091,
and of those sailed 1,056. Freights have varied a good
deal ; in March and April they were as low as
40s. per ton Tallow,. under British colours; and
31s. 6d. per ton under Russian colours, from
hence to the United Kingdom. In September
they rose to 87s. 6d. to 903. Since then they have been
egein on the decline, the last rate paid was 655., and
6024. is now asked in vain for ships expected from Con-
stantinople with first favourable opportunity."
There are no arrivals to-day.
The English Stock Market has beeen receding again,
and there Ins been some supply of Consols, which
have been down to 94i, and 93i for Transfer,
and to 94f and 94 for Account. The New
Three-and.a Quarter per Cents. have been 954 and
since 94k. The Three per Cent. Annuities bare been
94 to Bank Stock is worth 197. Exchequer-bills
are worth 41e. to 435. for those of March.
Consols for Account are now 94i to ie The
state of the Italian question, and the impression that
prices have been run up too quickly, has caused the re-
action, otherwise there is no particular cause for the
change. The arrangement on the account day, was 000
cause of the rapid improvement.
The Foreign Securities are influenced a little by he
decline in Consols, but there is no great alteration.
Mexican are steady at 25F,J2-; Grenada bring 15i.
Chilian Three per Cents. are worth 55. Spanish Ac-
tive stock is worth 174 to 184, and the Three per Cents.
294 to 29i. Pertugut se Four per Cents. are 25 to 25k.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half par Cents. have been 50i.
In Railway Shares there has been a moderate busi-
ness, and in several cases at higher values. North-
Western, Midland, North British, and Scottish Central
are higher. Caledonian and Hudson's York lines
searcely so good. The French Shares are still very
buoyant.
