peace of society. They look to the priesthood as
a moral police to enforce obedience and teach
duty. They rely on it, they say, for the preser-
vation of order. At the same time they hold it up
to public odium by asserting that the detestable
bread-tax is levied in order to enable the land-
lords to pay the priesthood. Their conduct is ar-
rant hypocrisy. The priesthood and the land.
owners combine to tax the people under a false
pretext, and as long as they succeed, and no
longer, will they agree together.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 21.—Our Cotton
Market almost throughout the week has been very inanimate,
the trade generally showing no disposition to purchase more
than an immediate supply. Prices, notwithstanding, remain
tolerably steady, which is the more remarkable, when we con-
sider the heaviness of the stock and the immense increase of it
during these last few days. Brazil and Surat have been
more in demand, at last week's quotations. 30p0 bales of Ame-
rican and 100 bales of Surat are taken on seculation, and
200 bales of American, 150 bales of Panams, and 950 bales
of Surat for export. 1,200 bales sea placed are declared for
public sale on Friday next.
Thisleing a general holiday ft° business has been transacted
at the 'Stock Exchange.
The Thomas P. Cope, arrived at Liverpool, from Phila-
delphia, in lat. 44, lon. 52, fell in with a great quantity of ice,
and was in it five days ; weather very thick and stormy from
the southward. May 6, lat. 45, lon. 49, from eight A.M. to
six P.M., passed a sail of square-rigged vessels standing to the
westward; next day passed fourteen sail standing same way.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MAY 21.—There is
rather more disposition to buy at low prices, although there is
but very little doing. Manchester and Birmingham, 24
25i ; Manchester and Leeds, 52 53 , North Union, 83 84 ;
Glasgow and Greenock, 29 ; Glasgow and Ayr, 37 38 ; Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, 38 39 ; Manchester and Sheffield, 7 8 ;
Manchester and Liverpool 'District Bank, 10 18 9; Manehester
and Salford, 9i 10k.

Owing to the state of political affairs, the various markets
for commercial transactions were in an exceeding dull state.
The exports have been of a very trivial nature, and the home
trade was only sufficient to meet the actual wants, and large
parcels of goods have been brought to public auction, and sold
at reduced prices. The intelligence of unfavourable accounts
from the manufacturing districts, with the failure of some old
standing firms in the City, has caused money, during the
course of the week, to become scarce, and in demand.
The approaching elections will also paralize every descrip•
tion of business, as well as the operations in the funds. In a
few days the tu•moil of elections will commence, which will
decide the cast of the die.

The British Funds continue in the same state of inactivity as
in the early part of the morning; there is not a feature in either
of the Markets worth noticing to the present hour. Next
Tuesday being settling day in the British Market, it is not ex-
pected that any business of consequence will take place until
after the above period.

the Account, the opening price ; Money, 891 90 ; Exchequer

THE MONOVOLISTS' MAJORITY
OF THIRTY-SIX.
It is important that the friends of free trade should look at
the sources from whence their strength is to be gathered up,
to break down the phalanx which the monopolists deem im-
pregnable. It is constantly said, " Look at the counties ! they
wal all be against you.' And what if they are ? If the
cities, towns, and boroughs are true to their interests, the coun-
ties may remain " alone.in their glory," and may boast, if On
please, that they have not a friend of FREE TRADE and LIGHT
TAXES amongst them.
England and Wales return FIVE HUNDRED MEMBERS; of
these
53 counties (including the Isle of Wight) and the
Two Universities, return
201 CITIES, Tow:4s, and Rollout:Hs return 337

and BOROUGHS, then 500
, send more
tharrnhdeotCla% number
erof votes that are sent by the counties.
Is this a fact to discourage the men of the towns, and to in-
duce a dastardly submission to the tyranny sought to be im-
posed by the LANDLORDS and MONOPOLISTS, by means of
their power in the counties? Let them carry all the latter
(which, however, they cannot do), together with such of the
smaller boroughs as are under their domination, and yet the
above figures prove that they cannot maintain their majority if
the towns declare for light taxes in preference to heavy. It
may comport with the honour, as it certainly does with the
the interest of the landlords, to strike a bargain
with the sugar monopolists, as was done by the Members for
Lincolnshire on Tuesday night, and to say, "It is true onr
SEttrs would like to have cheap sugar as well as the rest of the
people, but we will compel them to pay your tax, if you will
assist us to maintain ours ;" but the question is, will the TOWNS
—will the CITIES, SEAPORTS, TOWNS, and BOROUcnis, re-
turning, as they do, more than two to one for the counties—
will they stand by, and, witnessing this infamous compact, ra-
tify it by their votes ? It is impossible.
In SCOTLAND and IRELAND the good cause is safe, and the
of the TOWNS !! it is proved to you that you
monopolists, knowing this never express even a hope as to the
constituencies there declaring on their side ; they reserve this
honour for ENGLANP only ! I
haUvert htehrente,meretno crush the monopolists. The opportunity is
about to be afforded you. Crush them NOW, AT ONCE, and
FOR EVER. CRISIS.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the first day of- Trinity Term, the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR did not take his seat in his Court at Westminster Hall
till nearly two o'clock, having to entertain the, Judges, Mas-
ters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel to breakfast at. his
Lordship's house, in Bruton-street. His Lordship, on taking
his seat, was accompanied by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-
Chancellor, and Masters Farrar and Sir Giffin Wilson.

MANSER V. THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN EAILWAT

COMPANY.

The COURT, after hearing several short applications, pro-
ceeded with the further arguments in this case, which came
before the Court upon an application praying for an injunction
to restrain the defendants from erecting a bridge across a
stream which worked the mill of the plaintiff, who is a miller
at Hodvion.

The arguments were proceeding when we went to Press.

VICE-CHANCERY-7(T HIS DAY.)

His HONOUR entered the Court this day at a quarter to two
o'clock, and on his taking his seat on the bench said that he
wished to mention, for the information of the gentlemen
of the Court, that he would not be able to sit on Tuesday
next, as an arrangement had been made by the Lord Chan-
cellor for hearing the cause of Woodsville at the Privy Council
on that day.
His HONOUR then proceeded to hear motions, which pos-
sessed no feature of interest.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Lord Chief
Justice, with Justices Coltman, 'Mule, and Erskine, came into
Court at a quarter before two o'clock.
Although there was a full attendance of Sergeants the
Court went through the whole bar without any gentleman

moving.
Their Lordships then took the new trial paper, and one or
two cases, in which the Learned Sergeants were not prepared,
were struck out.
