MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday. The sales were estimated at 6,000 to 7,000
bales, including 1,500 on speculation. The market
closed tamely, but full prices were paid.—Railway Shares
were dull and heavy again.
The foreign news reads better to-day, and the many
statements about army movements in Italy, Russia, &c.,
have been softened down, if not wholly disproved.
In the mercantile and money markets there continnes to
be a wholesome feeling.
The state of the Money Market is described with
tolerable impartiality in the March number of the
Banker's Magasine, and we give the following extract :
" There has been considerable excitement, during the
last four weeks, in nearly all the great markets more
directly under the influence of capital. On the 25th
January, 1849, the market price of Consols was 91 ; on
13th Feb. it had been raised, by a variety of methods, to
as much as 944—an advance exceedingly beyond the
ordinary rate of fluctuation, and scarcely such a one as
could be accomplished without the help of an organized
system of operations among the jobbers directed to pro.
cure a higher price. Since the attainment of this high
price, there has been a reaction ; and at the time we
write the market rates are 14 or 2 per cent. below the
quotations of the 13th February. The rationale of these
movements is not a difficult question. The dealers took
advantage of a favourable turn in the market, and they
carried it beyond its legitimate mark."
By her Majesty's ship Petrel accounts of January 14
have been received from Rio de Janeiro. There was no
alteration in the state of political affairs, and the rate of
exchange on London was much the same.
The Funds opened at about the closing values of yes-
terday, or perhaps a little higher, Copilot,' being 914
for Transfer and 914 I for Account. Since the second
French mail has arrived, the market looks better again,
and there is more disposition to support values. It
almost invariably happens that when stock is offered
freely on account of the money being wanted for other
purposes, there is the best use made of any little circum-
stance which appearing adverse may be made to " tell"
upon the market, and thus enable the jobbers to get the
stock offered at decidedly lower rates, with the chance
of a subsequent rally. Consols have been done at 914
to 924 for money, and 92 to for account. Exchequer-
bills have realised 398. to 425. premium. Bank Stock
has been firm at 194 to 1954, and India Stock at 243.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 924
to 934.
The Foreign Securities are looking up. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been 181 to 4; and the Three per Cents.
29 to 4. Portuguese Four per Cents. 254. Mexican have
realised 264 to 4; and Brazilian Small 83. Dutch Two-
and-a-Halt per Cents. have been 49 to 50.
Railway Shares have been without any decided
change. Most are quoted ex-dividend. Eastern Coun
ties, Midland, North-Western, and the other of Hudson's
lines are mostly lower. The French shares are in
some instances rather cheaper, but with a good busi-
ness doing.

question, and arose out of the same transaction, and
came before the Court from the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor of England, who granted injunctions, re
straining actions at law brought by the respective de-
fendants upon two bills of exchange. The plaintiff, nho
is a merchant and shipowner of Liverpool, made pur-
chases of cotton of Messrs. Ewart and Co., of Bombay,
through the house of Arbuthnot, Ewart, and Co., of Li-
verpool. He accepted bills to a large amount, and these
were sent to Arbuthnot, Latham, and Co., of London,
the defendants in the first-named cause, and bills of
plaintiff were also passed into the hands of the defendant
Gladstone. Disputes having arisen about the cotton, the
matter was referred to arbitration, but in the meantime
actions at law were brought against the plaintiffs upon
the bills he had accepted, and to restrain these law pro-
ceedings the Vice-Chancellor of England granted in-
junctions. Hence the present appeal.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment, agreed
in the view taken of the cases by the Court below, and
dismissed both appeals.

IN RE BYCE SOMBRE.
The further hearing of the argument upon the petition
in this case, for superceding the commission of lunacy
issued out a considerable time ago against Mr. Dyce
Sombre, was then proceeded with.
_ _

Mr. ROLT, who was part heard in support of the peti-
tion on Saturday last, went on to address the Court in
support of its prayer, and at great length reviewed the
evidence which has been given for and against the
commission.

Mr. ROLT having concluded, was followed on the same
side by Mr. Roundel Palmer.

The Learned Gentleman not having concluded at the
rising of the Court, the further hearing was adjourned
till Friday.

SUPPOSED MURDER OF A GEN-

TLEMAN AT ISLINGTON.

Yesterday morning, shortly after six o'clock, the body
of a gentlemanly attired man, between fifty and sixty
years of age, was discovered lying in a pool of blood at
the entrance to a field in the Caledonian. road, Islington,
within a short distance of the East India Dock Junction
of the London and North-Western Railway, under cir-
cumstances which lead to a belief that he had been mur-
dered. _

The discovery was first made by a man named Eli
Deaver, who states that he went to work in Mr. Dennis's
brickfield (in whose employ he is), at a quarter-past six
yesterday morning, and, on entering the field, his atten-
tion was attracted by the whining of a dog, and
on looking in' the direction of the sound, he saw
a little black and white curly dog sitting at
the feet of the body of a man lying imme-
diately behind the palisades. On going to the spot he
observed at the southern end of the pallisades a large
pool of blood, at a distance of about twenty feet from
where the body lay, and on going up to the body he
found the face and neck covered with blood, and another
large pool, in which it lay. The dog growled and
snapped at him as he approached, and, seeing the blood
on the body, he knocked up the man at the hut, and
some of the other workmen having arrived, they made a
more minute investigation. About four or five feet from
the spot where the first pool of blood was discovered
was a purse, entirely empty, with the exception of a
small key, and in the mud of the pond, about thirty feet
from the place where the body lay, they found the blade
of an old razor, which, with the exception of about two
inches of the broad part of the blade, was bound round
with strong cord in order to give a bold, and answer
the purpose of a handle. Between the place where
the first pool of blood was discovered and the place
where the body lay is a wooden bar, fixed into the
ground at one end, and passing in a slanting direction
towards the top of the pallisades, in order to support
them. The top of this bar is covered with tenter hooks,
and on one of the hooks the right band glove (the other
being on the deceased's left hand) was found suspended.
There were several marks of footsteps and a track of
blood between the first pool of blood and the place
where the Cody lay, as also bloody finger marks on the
bar; but the question is, how the deceased managed to
get from the place where the act was first committed to
the spot where he was found, as it was impossible for
him to have done so without stooping down to pass under
the bar. The extraordinary distance of the razor from
the body leads to a strong suspicion, coupled with the
fact of the purse being found empty and nothing being
found on the person of the deceased, that he has been the
victim of some foul play.
It appears that the man residing in the hut believes
that during the night he heard the barking of a dog,
but that he paid no attention to it and went off to sleep
again. The night was, however, rather boisterous, and
he much doubts, had there been a struggle, whether he
should have heard it. The appearance of the body on
its discovery is described as truly dreadful. It is that of
a man about six, years of age, with. grey hair, and
cbcut 5 feet If, 111 s. tsjp, atldersty
between the bar and the Srots mentio.ori pool of blood.
His attire consisted of a light coloured silk handkerchief,
black waistcoat, trousers, and body coat, and a dark
green great coat, and he wore cloth boots.

On the police being made acquainted with the occur-
rence, the body, under the orders of Inspector Thatcher
of the N division, was removed on a stretcher to the
vaults of Islington church, and during the afternoon it
was identified as the body of Dr. Crook, of 11, Bayham•
street, Camden-town ; but nothing hue transpired to
show how he came to be in the place where his body
was discovered.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—There is a vessel ap
parently a corvette, at anchor at S. Helen's, looking
very like the Electra, 14, Commander Bouverie. The
glimpses are, however, so indistinct, and occur so seldom,
that nothing certain can be safely said of her.
A tremendous gale, with heavy squalls and constant
rain, has prevailed all day, and still continuer.
Wind S.W,, strong gales, with heavy squalls of rain.

FALL OF A CLIFF ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAIL-
FAY.--Last night information was received by telegraph
at the London-bridge terminus that a portion of the cliff
in the Merstham cutting had fallen in and blocked up the
line so as to impede the traffic. Every available person
at the station was immediately dispatched by special
engine to clear the line for the last up train, which had
been detained at Reigate as soon as the accident was
made known. Merstham is between Croydon and
Reigate, and nineteen miles from London.
EFFECTS OF THE STORM IN ST• JAMES'S PARE._
yesterday evening three large elm trees within the en-
closure were uprooted by the violence of the storm.
One in falling smashed the iron railings opposite the
steps of the Duke of York's column; another fell across
the iron gate close to the Chinese lodge facing the Horse
Guards, The trees which have been torn up are all
sound.

MONET MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 7 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.32; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.20, it follows that gold is 0.47 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.10; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.91,
it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in Ham-
burgh than in London.

MAGAZINE DAY.
BLACKWOOD.

All the mystery about Augustine Caxton is ex-
plained. Through the melancholy :speculations of
Uncle Jack Tibbets he has been very nearly ruined.
His liabilities to Mr. Peck, the printer of the Capi-
talist, and to the printer also of the great Anti-Book-
sellers' Publishing Society, threaten almost to absorb
every sixpence of his very moderate fortunes. But
through the instrumentality of Mr. Trevanion's
attorney, stimulated by the activity of Pisistratus and
Mr. Squills, a compromise is arranged, and a poor
fragment of the scholar's property is saved from de-
struction—about 8,000/., which, placed at:mortgage at
four per cent., yielded just 3721. 10s. a year. In
consequence of this Sisty is compelled to give up all
thoughts of returning to Cambridge, and glorious old
Uncle Roland makes an offer of his castle as
a general rendezvous in the misfortunes
of the family. There seems to be a tacit understand-
ing that the offer will be accepted ; and we are right
glad of it. Sir Selby Beaudesert is revealed to us
again in a new and beautiful light—as a warm-
hearted, generous creature, however exquisite in his
habitual refinements. He who refreshed himself by
a pinch of the celebrated Beaudesert mixture with a
grace no other snufftaker ever had since the days of
Pope, offers his services to any amount to clear the
father of Pisistratus ! In his: elegant apartments we
are introduced to a stripling sage—one Lord Cas-
tleton, heir to fabulous El Dorados, and head ,
of one of those few houses still left in Eng-
landl
that retain feudal importance. The pencil-
ling is perfect. The original of the portrait
is still living ; there is no mistaking it for a crea-
ture of the imagination. We might as well regard
Mr. Trevanion himself as not intended to represent
one of our leading living statesmen. This same
Marquis of Castleten is betrothed, it appears, to
Fanny Trevanion—so at least poor Pisistratus learns
with horror from the gentle intimations of Beaude-
Bert. One evening we obtain just a peep at Mr.
Peacock behind the scenes of one of the minor
theatres. On another we find that incorrigible, abo-
minable, impertinent, selfish, self-sufficient, egregious,
vulgar, detestable, and in-every-way-to be-kicked-
and-buffetted John Tibbets coolly walking into
the family quietude of the half-ruined Caxtons,
and making himself as much at home as a cat on
the hearth-rug. At last, at last, at last, however,
the " pummy" is softened by the charm of the brave,
kind, forgiving:old scholar's amenity. Uncle Jack
is moved to tenderness ; and, at the close of a beauti-
ful incident, Mr. Squills whispers confidentially to
Sisty, that it all comes of the fine organization of his
father's—liver ! One incidental remark, apparently
of little importance, must not be overlooked. We
are told that, as a sort of under or deputy-secretary,
Mr. Trevanion has obtained one Gower—a clever,
good-lookingyoung gentleman, who is a great favourite
with him. It is not difficult to detect through the
alias the evil genius of the story—Vivian, otherwise
the reprobate son of Uncle Roland. Besides this
continuation of our favourite serial, the magazine is
rich in contributions. " The Sycamine," by Delta,
is indifferent. Indeed, in the rhythm we need the in-
tonations of the author's voice to show us the music
of the verses. "M. Proudhon" is flayed alive in a
horribly cutting and excoriating criticism on his
Contradictions Econorniques. "The Green Hand" we
don't like; the humour of the thing is altogether too
circuitous for our taste. " After a Year's Republi-
canism" is, of course, replete with exactly such poli-
tical reflections as might be looked for in Blackwood;
and the same may be said, in like manner, of the
closing article on the " Opening of the Session,"
which is immediately preceded by a careful and in-
teresting review of the history of "Peter the Cruel,"
by M. Merimee.

a summary of some of the wonderful caprices of
Fashion :

" Fashion is the younger half-brother of old Custom,
sometimes assimilated with him in his pursuits, and
often associated; but of a more gay and lively character,
and a far greater tyrant. In times gone by, he pre-
vented men from appearing with their natural head of
' hair, and placed on the fountain of knowledge a wig
that would have served as a dormitory for fifty dormice;
he furnished them with a small three-cornered hat,
which they wore under their arm, as the Irishman said,
to keep their wig warm; and he placed swords at their
sides, when there was nobody to kill, except their inti-
mate friends.
" With the ladies, he took them by The hair which be
trussed up on the top of their heads, having loaded the
pyramid with grease, and emptied over it a peck of
flour; he painted their faces like sign boards, and stuck
over th, m bits of sticking plaster, that'made them sppear
as if they had been bitten by musquitoes, or bad injured
the epidermis while shaving. Wich themedern daughters
of Eve, his tactics have been different; he no longer
points their flowing locks to the zenith, they fall in
corkscrews in the direction of Nadir; "he has unmerci-
fully stripped their arms naked, in the coldest weather,
and pulled their clothes half way down their backs; he
has swollen out one part of their persons with wire and
catgut, and screwed in another portion, by tight lacing,
in order that the dear creatures should gain the figure
of a wasp without wings. Fashion's workshop for the
ladies is Paris, for the gentlemen London; in the latter
capital little chaps have been rigged out like Chinese
dolls, bigger boys like mannikins, and gentlemen have
been dressed as grooms and coachmen. Amongst the
latest freaks of our period, he stripped off the pea jacket
of the weather-beaten pilot, and placed it on the backs of
dandies; it was consequently transported to France, and
not being so pronounceable as biftick, railroad, or even
the Joakee Cloob, they have converted it into Paletot,
given it the form of its winter compeer, and sent it back
to us for summer wear; this mode and the Frenchified
word we have in the spirit of free trade accepted.
" Fashion has cut off the tails of horses and dogs, and
cropped their ears, simply because it is unnatural; he
has sent people to church, which no ,other inducement
would have done, and kept others from the theatres,
who were dying to be there: in short, a large volume
might be filled with his freaks."
" Perils of the Past" is a very interesting account of
the narrow escape of a Sepoy from a band of robbers
in an Indian forest. " Half-pay on the Pave "is
continued, and leaves the hero and heroine in most
perplexing and interesting situations. " A Week in
Boston " begins by observing that " the tide of em-
pire has slowly followed the sun in his course from
east to west. It first arose on the banks of the
Euphrates, and, after having traversed the regions of
Egypt, Greece, Italy, and Gaul, has arrived at
Britain." The inference is that it will now proceed
across the Atlantic—nous verrons. Besides the
articles enumerated, the United Service for March
contains a variety of interesting and useful papers.

- FRASER.

In an elaborate notice of Mr. Edward Gibbon
Wakefield's recently published " View of the Art of
Colonization," Fraser gives a succinct resume of the
various plans of colonization which have at different
times been adopted by this country, and comes to the
conclusion, in which every man who has studied the
subject cannot but agree with him, that of all the
plans that have ever been proposed, the plan, or
rather the no-plan of attempting to govern distant
colonies through the medium of the Colonial-office,
in Downing-street, is by far the worst. In the days
of yore, our forefathers, " those thoughtful men," ;a
Mr. Charles Buller called them in his great speech
in 1843, whenever they planted a colony took care
before leaving their native shores to secure by char-
ter the right of local self-government, and the full
' enjoyment of local municipal institutions, in the
English home across the Atlantic which they were
about to found ; the only condition imposed on the
full exercise of self-government being, that the laws
they should enact for the government of the colony
should not be contrary to the honour and dignity
of the Crown of Great Britain. In return, the
colony undertook to defend itself by means of its
militia, thus saving the mother country the expense
of keeping up enormous garrisons to defend the fron-
tier. A colony thus planted offered so close a resem-
blance to the Home Government that colonists of a
better class willingly settled. Then noblemen were,
in many instances, the founders of colonies, and the
emigrants included capitalists, professional men,
traders, mechanics, and labourers. Society was gra-
duated from the first almost as in the mother country,
save that in the colony it was much more easy for
the enterprising and industrious to ascend a step or
two in the social scale than it is in England. In fact
in the colonies ascent in the social scale was the
rule, not the exception. It was thus that the
colonies now constituting the United States
were founded. It is upon the principles con-
, tained in the original founders' charters that each
state is now governed, and the superiority of the old
plan over the new centralization system becomes
manifest on comparing the progress of the United
States (either as colonies or as independent states)
with that of any one of the British colonies under the
rule of the Cvlortial-effiee,— Ws shall -perhaps-be\
told that a-militia force would be utterly inadequate
to the defence of the colonies. In answer to this we
point to the example of the United States as British
colonies. By a militia force they not only defended
themselves against the French on the northern fron-
tier, and against the Indians on the south and east,
but they actually conquered and kept Canada, for the
handful of regular troops which formed portions of
the army of Wolfe and Amherst were as nothing
in proportion to the colonial militia, and when,
previous to the appointment of Wolfe to the
command, the regular troops had been de-
feated and compelled to retreat, the colonial militia,
under 'Washington, drove back the French Canadians
across the frontier, and successfully invaded them in
turn. It was this militia which, under Washington,
defeated army after army of regular British troops,
and compelled George 111. to acknowledge the inde-
pendence of their country—an independence they
would never have sought to obtain, had not the British
Minister endeavoured to introduce among them a Co-
lonial-office system of centralization, and to deprive
them of the right of local self-government in violation
of their charters. It was this militia that subsequently
baffled the veterans of the Peninsular war at Balti-
more, and defeated the elite of the British regular army
at New Orleans, and recently in less than two years
overran the whole of Mexico, defeating army after
army and general after general that were opposed
to them, and dictating their own terms of peace
to the enemy in his capital. This alone is sufficient
to show the admirable adaptation of the militia sys-
tem to the wants of the Anglo-Saxon colonist, and we
think that the day is not far distant when we shall
see it adopted in ail our colonies (as contradistin-
guished from military garrisons and plantations) both
on the Atlantic and the Pacific. It is evident that if
we wish to have colonies which shall be an aid to,
instead of a burden on, the mother country, we must
emancipate them from the irresponsible and inefficient
but at the same time capricious and annoying rule of
the Colonial-office, and leave them to govern themselves
so far as their internal administration is concerned,
and to preserve the peace and defend the fron-
tier within their own territory ; treating
them, in short, as separate states united
with England in one grand imperial federation for
imperial purposes, and for imperial purposes only, in
the same manner that the separate states of the Ame-
rican Union are united in the federal Government of
Washington. With regard to colonization for the
future, it would be well to revive the old plan of colo-
nixing by charter, securing to the colonists the right
of local self-government before they leave the shores
of England ; and it cannot but be regretted that the
authorities of the Colonial-office should have been so
careless and incompetent, and utterly ignorant of
everything with which they ought to have been ac-
quainted, as to sacrifice Vancouver's Island, which was
of all others the place the most admirably adapted
for colonization after the manner of our forefathers.
The importance of this subject has led us far beyond the
limits which we had originally prescribed for our-
selves, and we have only space, therefore, to bestow a
general commendation on the remainder of the arti-
cles in Fraser for March, and to point out as espe-
cially worthy of perusal a biography of Catullus (we
might almost call it an autobiography, as his own
works furnish the materials), which is a model of
classical criticism. We hope the author will be in-
duced to do for the other Latin poets that which he
has so admirably done for Catullus.
