MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, 7'WELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL. CoTTON MARKET, FRIDAY. —A good extent
of business has been done this week. The trade is now
regular and steady ; buyers, and both exporters and spe-
culators continuing their operations. Tne result of each
day's transactions has produced an average sale of 6,000
bales. For American descriptions prices are, if any thing,
rather higher than last week. In Brazil, su little doing
they are nominal, with a tendency to decline. India, no
change worth notice. Exporters have taken 1,100 bales
of American, and 100 Surat ; and speculators 3,soolArne-
rican. The !sales to-day arc at least [6,000 bales of all
kinds, with a steady market.

We have received New Brunswick Papers to the 12th
April.
FREDERICTON, MARCH 21.—This day his Excellency
the Lieutenant-Governor came in the usual state to the
Council Chamber, and having given his assent to the ap-
propriation bill, and a number of other important enact-
ments, his Majesty wt s pleved to close the session in a
speech, from which the fallowing is an extract :
" The prospect of any further disturbances with the
neighbouring States appear to have greatly diminished, if
not wholly to have vanished, in consequence of the prudent
course adopted by our more immediate neighbours of the
Maine, in having placed the conduct of the boubdary dis-
pute wholly in the bands of the General Government of
the United States, thereby affording to both countries the
most satisfactory gteirentee that the peace and friendship
now happily existing between two of the greatest and
most enlightened nations in the world, and in the mainte-
nance of which their best interests are acknowledged mu-
tually to consist, will not be suffered to be disturbed or in-
terrupted on light or insufficient grounds.
" I now take my leave of you ; therefore, I do so in the
confident hope that nothing may occur during the recess
calculated to impair the prosperous and satisfactory state
of public affairs under which we separate."
BOUNDARY.—Extract of a letter from Fredericton,
dat,d April:—" Four companies of American artillery
arrived at Houlton last week. These companies complete
a regiment, a part of which are to march to Port Fairfield,
and some are expected to move to Lake Tamisgaiota.
MILITARY MOVEMENTS.— Brigadier- General Custis has
been ordered to the command of the United States troops
at Houlton in Maine. The force there will not exceed
500 regulars, but their presence, and that of so discreet
and intelligent an officer as Genera Custis will, it may be
anticipated, have the effect of keeping things quiet.

CATHOLIC INSTITUTE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIMERICK

STANDARD.

Sie,—A paragraph, professing to be taken from your
Paper, has been going the round of the Conservative or
Tory Press, asserting that the Phanix Nev:spaper, pub-
lished at Edinburgh, is " under the government of the
Catholic Institute of England" (Great Britain). Per-
haps you will allow me to say, for the information of your
readers, that there is no truth whatever in that statement.
'The Phcenix is not under the government of the Catholic
Institute, and the Institute has no connexion whatever with
that journal.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
J. A. SMITH. Secretary.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

JONES V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This ease stood on the paper to be spoken to-day.
The matter came before his Lordship a few days since
upon motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants,
the Company of Proprietors Ef the Great Western Rail-
way, from proceeding with certain works on the lands of
the plaintiff until they had given sufficient com-
pensation. It appeared that some time since, the defend-
ar.ts entered into an agreement to purchase certain por-
tions of land belonging to the plaintiff, situated in Berk-
shire. By the works which the defendants were now
carrying on they were making entirely useless another
portion of the plaintiff's land, for which he claimed com-
pensation, which the defendants refused to give.
Mr. TORNEft to-day, upon the case being called on,
stated that the Company would undertake to give such
compensation as a Jury might award.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Company under-
taking to go before a Jury to ascertain the damage to the
plaintiff, he would abstain from granting the injunction at
present ; but the Company must understand, if they did
not act upon their undertaking, he should consider the in-
junction as granted on the present day.
