MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat again,
and the decline on American, compared with Friday last, is
ligd. per lb. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales, of which 2,500 were
American, at 61/2d. to 71/2d. per lb.; Surat was at 4d. to
4',70. per lb.; and Bahia at 7-1/4d. to 71/2d. Railway Shares
were firm, but with very little doing.
Accounts of February 13 from INielhourne, Port Phillip,
state that the whole district was suffering from the scarcity
of labourers, and that as them was a surplus from the land
fund, and the squatter's tax, it was hoped that the whole
amount would be appropriated to the promotion of immigra-
tion into Port Phillip exclusively, leaving the other settle-
ments to procure labour from their own resources and
revenue.

The news received from the West Indios, and given in
another column, our own accounts not having reached as yet,
a: a satiAtactory, as respects the various islands, but from
Mexic,, we are still without ary news of a conclusive nature,
and the war promises to become now of a predatory cha-
racter before it concludes.

The Public Secuvities were rather tending u 4 wards early in
the day, but have since declined. Consols have realised 88
to t;,r wesient transfer, and 884 to 3/4 for account. The
New Thtee-and-a•Quarer per Cents.have been 885.4 to 3/1,
and the Three per Cents. 8674 to 87. Bank Stock ix quoted
to 196. Exchcquer•bills have been masked 3s. to Gs.
premium

The F,reigx Securities have been steady, but with very,
limited transactions. The news received by telegraph of
the capture of Das Antes has made Portuguese Stock rather
bett.r, viz., 30 to 301,2. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been
at 831j1. Mexican Stock is worth 20%.
In Railway Shares the bu,i,,ess done has been moderate.
The re.commendrtion of the Parliamentary Committee to
allow the companies prosecuting Bills this session to suspend
their works if they so think tit, seems generally to be ap-
proved, and it is-hoped that but few companies wtli neglect to
avail themselves thereof.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 10.

The Dee, Royal Mail steam-steam-ship, Captain Wil-
iam Allan, arrived this morning at fire o'clock, with
;he usual Mexican and West Indian mails.

The Dee has brought home an exceedingly rich and
valuable freight, consisting of 107,096 dollars from the
various ports of the Main; 2561. 6s. in British coin;
1081bs. 10 oz. of platina ; 1,003 serons of cochineal ;

she had unmoored, and got ready for sea, a heavy
" norther" set in, which detained her until eight A.M.
of the 3d.

The intelligence from the West India islands is un-
important.

MEXICO.

Tho news from the seat of war is of no great moment.
There were still several Mexican officers detained in the
Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa ; in every respect the city
was quiet, and had assumed the appearance of peace.
The Americans were beginning to feel the effects of the
climate severely, the hospitals being nearly full of in-
and .;er;:rai clettlls had sakeu la hum el'Anc,36,

any with the late t<<t.
['iris eireurustaue.: was, how-ever, kept. very quiet, us its
publication only tended to discourage the American army.

The last accounts received of General Scott were,
that he was still progressing towards Mexico. He had
reached Peratta, and was to leave that place on the 3d
of April.
On the news reaching AlexTeo of the late battle at
Cerro Gordo and Santa Anna': flight, D. Pedro Annnga
was appointed President, with unlimited power for
everything, with the exception of listening to any over-
tures of peace from the Americans, as they v.ere deter-
mined to defend the city to the last. Canslir), or D.
Juan Alvanez, was to be Commander-in.Chiel, and the
seat of government removed to the interior (Celaya).
Santa Anna was at Oriata, raisieg 1,500 troops for a
guerilla war, and several attacks had lla-u made 01 the
convoy of provi-ions from Veia Cruz to the army, hut
without any success It was reported that the Amyri-
cans were getting tired of the ear, and that the vo-
' ltuiteers. were leaving them, their time being up.—

QUEEN'S BENCH -(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco)
THOMAS V. FREDERICKS

Lord DENMAN It was an ac-
tion brought by Mr. Thomas against the defendant, in crder
to ascertain the right of sporting over a certain manor. The
verdict was for the plaintiff, and subsequently a rule was al-
lowed by the defendant for an arrest of judgment.
The COURT, this morning, ordered the rule to be dis-
charged.
The point turned upon certain specific covenants in the
lease of the defendant, which were wholly of a technical
nature.

No other case possessing a feature of interest occurred
during the course of the day.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
310:TYN V. HALFORD.

This was an application fora ceri loran to bring up an in-
dictment against a process served for perjury. It appeared
that the applicant was defendant in an action which
been commenced in Yorkshire, for having falsely sworn that
he had served Mostyn, a farmer, with a process of one of tile
superior Courts. The affidavits went on to state that api•ii•
cant, in consequence of his office, was exposed to a great ekal
of ill feeling, and therefore feared that he had not had a fair
trial.—Application granted.

SHERIFFS' CO URT.-( THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Bo RCUELL.)
ATKINSON V. OXLEY.

The plaintiff in this action is an attorney in Carey-sti.‘q.
and the defendant a farmer in Mayfield, Sussex. The
was for 18t. Ss., the balance of a bill of costs.
Mr. BAYLEY, who appeared for the plaintiff, called a young
man, named Johnson, who had formerly been a clerk to the
plaintiff, and who proved that he knew of most of the work
having been done, and that the other portions were also i.e-
cessary legal proceedings. The costs had been taxed by the
Master at 18/. Bs. beyond a sum of 71. 10s. Id. paid to the
plaintiff. The witness, in cross-examination, said he did
not know who was the agent who had been employed in the
country.

Mr. BAYLEY then put in an office copy of an affi lavit
sworn to by the defendant, in which ho state,l that he had
given instrue.ions to Mr. Atkinson (the plaintiff), his attor-
ney, and also Submitt,d that, under the 6 end 7 Vic., c. 73,
in which it was enacted hat the allocater of the Master as to
the amount of costs ou taxation should be final.

Mr. CIiARNOCK then addressed the jury, and said that he
should be abie, no doubt, to show that the defendant in fact
had never employed the plaintiff, but that he was retained by
a person named Beams, who would be called witness, and
who had bought the debt of HI. of defendant for 91., althou,h
the action was brought in defendtod.'s name.
Mr. Beam., tnrmerly bailiff of the County Court at May-
field, and now clerk to an attorney, was called, and proved
that he was formerly a debt collec!or. Defen 'ant put some
debts into his hands to collect, and it being neces,,ary to em-
ploy en attorney, he told defendant that if the latter would
take 9/. tier the debt, if recovered, he witness would pay the
costs. IL was a" no cure no pay" affair. The writ and pm.
ceenings were sent to him to serve, and tie was paid. Ile did
nut tell ulaintiff the terms.
Mr. BAYLEY contended that no Arrangement between de-
fendant and Beams could affect plaintiff unless he was made
acquainted viith the terms.
The UNDIR,SHERIFF was of the alms oi.inion, and said
that in the affidavit the defendant admitted plaintiff was his
attorbev.

The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

James Williams was placed befiire Mr. Bingham, charged
with being found in the shop of Mr. Tyas, draper, No. 7,
Charles-street, Soho, with the intention of committing a
felony.
It appeared that the prisoner was observed by complain-
ant's son, who was at the door of a neighbour's "house oppo-
a,te, to be walking backwards and forwards, casting very• sly
glances into the shop. Thinking smnething was wrong, he
sect eted himself behind a door, and watched the prisoner for
nearly ten minutes. The prisoner, finding t hers was not any
person visible in complainant's shop, stole in, and was in the
act of taking a bundle of nankios when complainant's son
moved from his place of concealment, and caught him just
as he was depositing it in a capacious bag. The prisoner was
detained till the arrival of a constable, into whose charge he
was consigned.
The prisoner, who gave a very unsatisfactory account of
the transaction, was remanded till Monday next.
Henry Ca; roll, the particulars of whose former examina•
tion appeared in this journal on the Bth instant, was placed
at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing a
quantity of linen, the property of Madame De Homberg,
27, Audlerstreet.
It will be recollected that the prisoner was remanded, in
order to procure the attendance of a female of the name of
Webber, to whom the prisoner offered the linen for sale. This
witness stated that about the middle of October last the pri-
soner, accompanied by a female, came to her house, 29, New.
ton-road, Westbourne grove, and producing two large
bundles of linen, wished her to purchase them. She decline:l
doing so, but eventually lent him 305., upon his consenting to
leave the linen as a security. The female (who is the prin-
cipal witness against the prisoner) said that shewas a Jewess,
and that the property was hers. The linen was taken away
by the prisoner ten days afterwards.
The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was fully
committed for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Kingsey was charged with creating a disturbance
in the waiting-room of the above court, and with violently
assaulting the police.
It appeared from the evidence of police-constable 120 N,
the wile of the prisoner wan yesterday brought to this office
on the charge of feloniously stealing a watch and a pair of
boote. The prosecutor however not appearing she was:dis-
charged. About four o'clock the prisoner returned to the
office waiting-room, where he created a great disturbance,
and addressing the constables, exclaimed to them "I did
the dodge, and succeeded, so well that my wife
and her companion was discharged, n,.twithstand-
big you did all you could against them; they and
1 hocussee the fellow." The constable afterwards foned out
that the prisoner had managed to get the prosecutor in a gin-
shop. and made him drunk. He was seen pouring the gin
down the prosecutor's throat Thus it was that prosecutor
bt-came unable to attend. The prisoner was taken from the
office waiting-room to the station-house. but it took four
police. constables to carry him thither, and on his way he
managed to inflict upon some of them severe bruises.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that it might pos,ibly be very well
for him to endeavour to get his wife out of a scrape, but his
own bad conduct he could not look over. He was fined 10s.,
or ten days' imprisonment.
The prisoner was locked up in deilet,

CLERKENWELL.-( THIS DAY.)
A charge of a trifling character %vas preferred by police-
constable 113 S, and while the °Ali was being administemi
to him his manner displayed much levit).
Mr. COMAE, the presiding inai,istrate,_ having observed it,
commented strongly upon the manner in which oaths some-
times were taken in the Police-court. It was the duty of
constables to attend more than they did to the solemn (ibli-
gation under which they were placirg thitAns&ve: when being
sworn. The worthy Magistrate then said, tuflressing the
inspector on duty, that, ohe thught one 3t he most im-
portant features-in the instruction of constables when enter-
ing the force should be to impress upon their ri,:nds the ne-
cessity of a due and decorous attention and respect when
taking an oath.
_ _

While Mr. Combe was making these observations, the
constable remained in the witness-box, pale as death, and in
a state of the greatest agitation, and at length, atter a shoat
convulsive straggle, fell backwards out of the witness-box,
apparently quite lifeless, his bend striking violently the
wainscoting of the wall behind the box. He was imme-
diately carried out of court by the attendant', when medical
assistance was procured, and he in some degi ee recovered
his consciousness, but upon being again brought into court
was quite unable to give his evidence, and he was therefore
removed to his residence under metheal treatment.
