MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
flat, and closed heavily. Sales 3 000 bales, including
2,500 bales American at 6e,1. to 71d., and 300 Surat at
4d. to 4jd. per lb. Railway Shares were not so boo'',
owing to the further rumours of failures.
There are ship arrivals from Australia, and dates of
May 1 have come to hand. The colonies seemed to be
in a satisfactory position; there was no over-trading,
and the Government revenue was in a favourable
position.

The claims of Cochin to the favourable consideration
of the Indian Government, that it may be afforded
greater facilities for trade, and especially as respects the
developtnest of the cotton cultivation, so interesting
at the present time, are well set forth in a memorial
from the British merchants to Sir John Hobhouse. It
is stated that—
" The town of Cochin, viewed with reference to the
other parts of the Hon. Company's territories, is a per-
fectly isolated spot, surrounded as it is by the native
states of Travancore and Cochin, from which the greater
portion of its exportable commodities is procured.
'these states being considered foreign, the trade of this
port is necessarily crippled by the heavy protective
duties now leviable in England, and under existing cir-
cumstances no improvement can be anticipated. An
assimilation however, of duties, on the produce of these
native states with those levied on articles the growth
and manufacture of Mysore, would be fraught with im-
mense advantages to Cochin, which would then be raised
rom its present insignificance to a high position among
-he ports of India. Your petitioners, in conclusion, will
only, therefore, express a hope that your Honourable
Board will listen to their prayer. and do away with the
present restrictions on the commerce of these native
states, by which their resources will be developed, and
a wide field opened for European enterprise, energy
d capital. And your petitioners will, as in duty
bound, ever pray."
The embarrassment of a West India house has been a
topic of conversation this morning, but it is hoped the
liabilities will not be so extensive as they would
have been in former years, when the house stood
very high. A firm in the Portuguese trade
is also in difficulties, and the liabilities will
uo doubt be considerable. Messrs. Bensusan, in
the Morocco trade, are said to have been literally
" knocked down" by the stoppage of other parties;
and Messrs. Cockburn, the army agents, of Whitehall,
who also did business in a small way as bankers, were
brought to a stand by a sudden demand, although
the house was undoubtedly weak, and might have ex •
perienced of late a diminution in its deposits. The
probable dividends from the larger firms which have
lately stopped will, it is said, be very trifling.
The Stock Market is looking flatter, though with very
little business doing, real or speculative. Cot.sols for
present transfer have been 854 t, and for time 85i ;
Consols Scrip has been done at 24 discount. The pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills has been 7s. to 3s. East India
Bonds have been at 7a. discount.
The Foreign Market is equally dull. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been 194, and Mexican Bonds 18j.
French Five per Cent. Rentes have realised 114, with
the exchange at 25 50. Dutch Two-and•a•Half per
Cents. have realised 541
The Railway Share Market is again heavy, and there
is but a limited inquiry.

R EGISTRATIONS.-( THIS DAY.

CITY OF LONDON.
(Before Mr. T. Y. M'CußisnE.)

PARISH OF ST. BOTOLPH, BISHOPSGATE WITHOUT.
The name of Sir Isaac Lionel Goldsmid, Bart.,
was objected to by the Conservatives.
From the evidence of Sir Isaac, it appeared that
he was joint lessee, with Alderman Thompson and
Mr. Robertson, of certain premises situated at No. 38,
Broad-street-buildings, at an annual rent of 701.,
which were occupied by the Santiago Mining Com-
pany, of which the claimants and the other lessees
were directors, and to whom that company
was liable for the payment of the rent. He
used the premises for the transaction of his
own private business as well as for the business
of the company. He had no separate office for
himself upon the premises. if the company did
not pay the rent he would, with the other lessees, be
held liable for the rent, and in default of those two
gentlemen paying he would be himself held liable.
Mr. S. Smith held that this case was precisely
similar to that of Bright, Cobden, and others, and
the offices of the Anti-Corn-law League, where the
premises were taken by lease in the name of Bright,
Cobden, and others. There was no question but that
the offices were used for the general purposes of the
association, but it was held that the occupation of
this association was only permissive, the lessees being
the parties liable for the payment of the rent.
The Court took the same view of the case, and
ordered the name to be retained on the list.
