MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, and included 6,000 Ameriean, 100
Pernam and Maranham, at sid. to sed.; 100 Egyptian,
at bid. ti 84d,; 1,000 Surest, at 3,1e1. to 4id., and 40 Sea
Island, at 11d. to Is. 2ial. per pound. The market was
active and closed firm, the news by the steamer
having had no effect on the market.—The Share Market
was et, and prices had a decided decline.
The reports of the growing Cotton crop in America
are not altogether satisfactory, but it is too early to at•
tech much importance to them.
The letters by the steamer from America have been de-
livered this morning, and are for the most part of a
favourable tenor. There is every probability of specie
having to be remitted to England as the exchange was
rising. It is said, parties having remittances to make
are afraid to forward United States securities, as the last
accounts from London were unfavourable fur any groat
increase of supply
upon that market. It is our impres-
sion that shipments of specie, to some extent, will be
made within the next sixty days.
The United States revenue tor the year, to June 30,
was deficient 852,000 dollars, and a further loan is not
improbable.
Respecting commercial prospects, it is stated from
New York as follows:
" There are decided indications of a revival of busi-
ness. Our hotels are rapidly filling up, and the appear-
ance of strangers in our streets, and at the various places
of public amusement, gives life and activity where it has
so long been dullness and depression. Our importers
have laid in large lots of most seasonable geode, and our
jobbers have filled up their stocks; and for variety of
styles, extent of supply, from which to make selections,
and facilities for trade, our merchants probably hold out
more inducements to traders from the interior than
those of any other city in the Union. The southern,
south-western, and western dealers will do much better
by coming direct to New York, where he can make his
purchases from first hands, than to atop at other cities,
where he will have to pay two or three profits. This is
the great focus of foreign importations, and those who
come here to purchase have the first choice. The coun-
try merchant stands on the same level in making his
purchases as the merchants of our neighbouring cities,
and, therefore, has an advantage over those who visit
those cities to trade.
According to letters, dated from the city of
Grenada, Lake Nicaragua, on the Bth July, Somoso, at
the head of four thousand men, had assaulted the city of
Nicaragua, destroyed it by tire, and sacrificed the lives
of its inhabitants. Somoso did not obtain much wealth
by this assault; a small amount only of gold, silver, and
jewelry, fell into his hands; but the total amount of pro-
perty destroyed exceeded two millions. It is not pos-
sible that all the inhabitants of the city were sacrificed ;
some must have escaped.
This terrible affair had aroused Munos, who hail
gathered a force of seven hundred and fifty regulars,
with whom he was advancing to meet Somoso, and it was
expected that a battle between them would take place on
that day— the 8;h ult.
The experience of Munos and the superior discipline
of his troops, gives those acquainted with the country
end the people, reason to believe that he will triumph
over Somoso.
It is stated to be the general impression in Nicaragua,
that the movements of Somoso are influenced more or less
by English agents.
There are dates of August 11, from Aguadilla,
Mayaguez, which inform us that there was not a cargo
of sugar to be had on the island, the crops of the last
season having been entirely disposed of. The prospect
for the coming year was better than had been known
for years, especially with regard to coffee, which, should
it not be overtaken in its maturity by a hurricane, would
be the largest crop ever known.
The letters by this mail bring an account of the alleged
robbery of the Halifax bank, and the supposed escape
of the delinquents to England.
Trade in Canada was very depressed.
Upon the state of the London produce markets re-
cently, Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury report as fol-
lows:
" The foreign and colonial produce markets, during
the early part of the month, were rather brisk, and a
large amount of business was transacted, but this did
not continue, and latterly they have been inactive, ex-
cept for coffee, which during the last few days has been
in good demand at advanced rates. For export there
has been but little doing, and prices generally are easier.
Home dealers continue to operate with caution, and the
public sales have gone off quietly. In the value of pro-
duce for this market there is but little variation; the ar-
rivals have been large, but importers have supplied the
markets only moderately. The deliveries for home
consumption continue upon a largo scale, which, as the
demand has much increased in the manufacturing dis-
tricts are likely to be further improved. The very satis-
factory reports as to the condition of our harvest opera-
tions is also favourable for a continuation in the demand
for all articles of consumption. For dye-stuffs there has
been a good demand, and prices generally are very firm,
many articles having a decided upward tendency. Co-
chineal is almost the only one showing a decline, the
supply being very large.
'rho steamer Dee, from the West Indies, brings specie,
gold dust, &c., to the value of about a million of dollars.
The letters are not yet delivered.
Accounts from the fair of Frankfort, under date of the
31st ultimo, state that it had opened promisingly.
The Funds at Amsterdam on Sunday were firm, the
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 54. At Berlin
on the Ist inst. prices were steady, and at Frankfort
they were rising. The Austrian Metalliques at Vienna
on the 30th inst. were quoted 941.
There is a fluctuating market again for British Securi-
ties, but with rather more doing. Consols have ranged
from 924 to 92i and are now 921 Bank Steele is
worth 199 to 200, being an improvement. East India
Stock has been at 250. Exchequer-bills remain at 395.
to 425. premium. The elasticity of the French Bourse
has no particular influence here.
The Foreign Market presents a complete blank, and
the quotations are nearly all merely nominal. Spanish
Three per Cents. have realised 344; Peruvian Deferred,
; and Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. 54e. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. have been about 28 to 29, and
Mexican, 274.
The Railway Share Market is in a most depressed
condition still. Caledonian have fallen 4 under the lowest
value of yesterday ; Great Western are 31. to 41. lower;
North Western, 2 to 3; Midland, 31; North Stafford, 7
to 71; and York and North Midland, to 1. In fact, we
can scarcely quote the changes with safety. Eastern
Counties are steady. Northern of Frame are higher.

The arrangements for the conveyance of goods and
minerals on the Churnet lire were not in operation till
the 20th of August, and are still only partially complete.
Four stations only are open on this part of the line; five
more were ready on the Ist instant.

The details for working the through traffic are still in
course of arrangement.

The general mineral traffic throughout the line has
yet to be accommodated, and can scarcely be said to
have commenced.

9s 6d for mid white, being easy rates.
SALTPETRE.-645 bags Bengal sold steadily at 27s 6d
for 41 to 51 per cent. refraction.
• SPICES.-600 bags clean sifted Sumatra Pepper were
taken in at the previous value of 2d.
TALLOW.—P. Y.C. is 38s 6d to 38s 9d per cwt, on the
spot, and Town 40s.
TEA.—The deliveries are good, and the market
is firm.
Tonacco.—There was no alteration last month in the
character of this market, and prices of all descriptions
have continued firm ; the trade purchased to a very
limited extent. Sales may be estimated at 1,080 hhds,
the largest portion of which were taken for exportation,
and consisted principally of low qualities. Latest advices
from New Orleans state, that an active business was
doing at firmer rates, with an upward tendency. Im•
ports 2,498 hhds. Deliveries 1,620 hhds, against 827
hhds in the corresponding month of 1848. Stock
23,154 hhds against 28,249 hhds in 1848. In Virginia
sales have been 620 hhds, mostly for exportation;
for home use demand was limited, and with ono or two
exceptions, confined to small purchases for immediate
consumption. Good and fine spinning qualities have
been in moderate demand ; holders aro firm
at previous rates. In Kentucky leaf and strips—
sales 410 hhds 160 of leaf and 250 of strips,
the former chiefly for exportation. Prices have con-
tinued without change. Maryland sales about 50 hhds
at 4d to 6d. Harmer Leaf is quite neglected. Stock
being quite bare of fine sorts, two or three parcels of ord
to mid have been offered at low rates. Havannah Se-
gars have been in steady demand, and approved brands
taken freely at firm prices; eligible sizes of old imports
have obtained an advance. Manilla Cheroots have been
in steady demand at former rates, with the exception of
old No. 4's, now No. 3, which realised an advance, stock
being almost exhausted. Manilla Leaf sales made to a
limited extent of mid quality. Yara and Cuba in good
demand, and sales effected of the latter at higher rates;
the small quantity of Havannah Leaf in stock, suitable
for fillers, is likely to have a beneficial effect on prospec •
live prices. Brazil, Porto Rico, Havannah, Seed-leaf,
and Florida in moderate demand, chiefly for exportation.
Columbian Loaf, Ambuletna, and Giron, of good and fine
qualities, have been freely at higher rates, particularly
the latter, of recent importation. German have been in
fair demand, and fine quality taken at advanced rates.
Sales of mid and ord have also been made to some
extent. Imports large. Amersfoot of good quality for
snuff purposes, and selected colory descriptions for segars
more inquired for. Negro Head and Cavendish sales
made to some extent at firm prices; good and mid quali-
ties have met a ready sale at previous rater ; but the ad-
vance prices demanded for Barret's has induced buyers
to withdraw their orders. Stalks were in more demand.

MA RLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Henry Winder, a silk mercer, residing at No. 29,
Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. Hardwick with
having wantonly and cruelly ill-treated a dog.
Mr. John Bond stated that he was a physician, and
resided at No. 15, Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square. On
the previous afternoon, about half-past five, he was
passing by the Boar and Castle, in Oxford-street, when
his attention was attracted to a crowd of persons who
were witnessing some men torturing a little dog, by
setting on a larger animal to worry it. He went up to
them, and by persuasions succeeded in getting the
smaller dog away. The latter ran up the street, followed
by the larger dog, and when near the defendant's shop
tried to run in for protection. Not succeeding, it ran
round the corner and jumped up at one of the
windows, the glass of which was cracked.. The
defendant then came out of his shop with a long
pole in his hand, and struck the dog in a most
wanton and cruel manner. Witness remonstrated with
him, and begged him to desist from such cruelty. He,
however, turned a deaf ear to his remonstrance, and
taking up the dog by the skin of its back, threw it with
great force into the road. The dog struck a man who
was passing on the chest, and having recovered its legs,
again ran to defendant's shop, who struck the dog again
with the pole, broke three of its legs, and almost
knocked out one of its eyes. Complainant seeing the
dog in great agony, begged of defendant to kill it out-
right. He said in reply, " D and b— the doe, I
shall do as I like." Witness then, at the earnest solicita-
tion of several gentlemen who had witnessed the trans•
action, sent for a constable, and gave him in charge.
Witness added that he did not prefer the charge to gra-
tify any vindictive feeling, but solely on the score of
common humanity.
In corroboration of his evidence complainant called
several witnesses, who proved that the defendant's con-
duct towards the dog was wanton and cruel in the
extreme.

The accused, in defence, said he was in his shop yes-
terday afternoon, when he saw the dog, which appeared
to be in a rabid state, enter his shop. He immediately
seized a pole, used in lighting the gas, and drove the
dog out. His wife, who was in the shop at the time,
became much alarmed, and as she had only recently re-
covered from a severe nervous attack, he was afraid it
would cause a relapse. The dog then ran round the
corner, iLto Perry's-place, and tried to Jump through the
window. Not succeeding the animal, which w as foaming at
the mouth, then came to the shop-door apin,and he being
much alarmed for the safety of his household, hid hold
of the dog and threw it into the street ; in doing so the
dog bit him on the back of his right hand. The animal
subsequently came back again, and, in the agony of pain,
ho certainly did strike it with the pole in order to kill it
outright. In support of this statement he called three
gentlemen who had witnessed the whole transaction, all
of whom stated that the dog had been tortured into a
state of madness previous to its running into defendaat's
shop ; that the animal was foaming at the mouth, and
betrayed every symptom of being in a rabid state ; and
that defendant had only acted as he had done to secure
his and his family's safety.
Dr. Richardson, 36, Bedford-square, said, after de-
fendant had been to the station he came to his house in
a state of considerable excitement, and, showing him his

hand, said be had been bitfea by a mad dog. On look-
in.); at his hand he found a punctured wound just as
,vould to caused by the bit:: of a dog, and as ib appeared
tdghly infhmed he cauterisf d it. Dr. Richardson added
that he would not answer for the consequences, neither
would he have such a hand for 5001. •

Mr. HARDWICK said defendant was acting at the time
he s!rurls the dog under the most awful impression
regarding the consequerces arising from the bite of a
dog, r‘llich, from its having be n previously cruelly tor-
tured, might have been in a rabid state. Such a state of
mind, no doubt, totally unnerved him, and under these
circumstances he did not think defendant had wantonlY,
and cruelly tortured or ill-treated the dog. He shook'
therefore dismiss the case, but he must say that the cow
plainant and the other gentlemen had acted perfectly
right in bringine the case before him.
