MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

_WEDNESDAY CORN EXCHANGE
Since Monday scarcely any English Wheat has come
fresh to hand. The show of samples here was exceedingly
small, while the demand for all kinds was very firm, and in
some few instances a trifle more money was obtained for
selected qualities. Nearly 10,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
,
have come to hand, yet that article was firm, at fully Mon-
day s improvement in value. The show of Barley and Meat
was small. All descriptions were in moderate request, at
late rates. Oats, Beans Peas, and Indian Corn moved off
slowly, at previous quotations. The Flour trade, was steady,
and the best town-made qualities produced 80s per 2801bs.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THPEE,
The Cotton Market at Liverpool closed heavily yesterday,
Sales 2,000 bales only, and prices rather in favour of buyers
for American and Surat. In other kinds there was no
change. American, 1,500 bales, sold at 6d. to 7%d. per lb.
Railway Shares experienced a general decline, and with a
dull market.
The sale pf Railway Shares, yesterday, by Messrs. La-
mond and Co., went off at about previous prices. The fol.
lowing are a few of the principal sales:—

We have no late ship arrivals to-day, but the news from
the continent is still of a favourable tenour, in respect to
the crops.
So many cases of hardship, connected with the obtainment
of places of trust, have come under our knowledge,
during an experience of some years, that we consider
there were scarcely any institutions more needed than such
as would afford to parties receiving appointments a ready
and equitable means of obtaining guarantees. In some re
marks by Mr. James Knight—" Private and Public
Guarantee for Persons Apoointed to Places of Trust Con-
sidered"—the case is clearly stated. The writer ob-
serves:—" Until the year 1842, surety for the good
conduct and faithful discharge of the duties of persons
so engaged, was provided entirely by the bends of
private individuals—viz., friends or relations. But
the subject of surety since that period has, owing to the in-
crease and character of the institutions of almost every de-
scription which have come iuto existence, involved an extent
of national importance which has led to the adoption of
public guarantee, under the bonds of a public company, duly
authorised for that purpose.
" But the cases in which private bends have been vitiated
have led to results which demand attention ; and it unfor-
tunately, and not unfrequently happens, that the most unex-
pected events will in one h"ur, destroy the private
bond of its value, Among these may be mentioned
death, bankruptcy, &c. In such cases the calamity not only
concerns the party whose misfortune may have rendered the
bond invalid, but the assured, who has to seek among his
friends for a substitute to succeed to this responsible trust.
" But there are other reasons why persons requiring surety
are inconvenienced, and their views impeded, if not frus-
trated. It has of late years become a customary stipulation
by persons of all profession and trades, upon entering into
partnership, that no member of the firm shall be permitted,
upon any pretence or consideration, to become security for
the fidelity of others."
It is gratifying to know, therefore, that in February last the
Lords Commissioners of the Treasury determined to accept
the security of public companies on behalf of parties engaged
in the service of the Crown, and that the system has been
extended so as to be available to parties receiving appoint-
ments abroad.
The Corn Market to-day is dull, at about previous rates.
In the English Funds business has been brisker to-day
Consols have realised 87% to 881,E for present transfer, and
88% % for account ; being improved rates. Exchequer-
bills are 3s. to 6s. premium; New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 881/.2 to 88%. Bank Stock realises 195.
The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected. Spanisn
Five per Cents. have been quoted 21!4, and the Three per
Cents. 33% 1,4. Portuguese Four per Cents, have realised
293 to 301/1. Mexican Bonds are nominal. Dutch Two-
and-a-Halt-per-Cents. have been 584. The inquiry becomes
now more frequent, Will the Portuguese dividend be paid
Railway Shares have been rather better.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to-
day.

PERRY V. MZODOWCROFT.
Our readers will recollect that this case was ordered to
stand over till to day, in order to give the parties an oppor-
tunity of seeing if t hey could not come to some arrangement
as to the future course to be adopted.
Mr. BETRELL, this morning, at the sitting of the Court,
proposed the trial of certain issues, but these not being ac-
ceded to, atter some discussion,

The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the judgment of the
ter of the Rolls, overruling the exceptions, to be reversed; the
nutter of the exceptions to stand over, and gave liberty to
the parties to file a bill.
