BIACPI!EIZSON V. CRAIGIE.

The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the
decision of the Court of Session. The only question in the
case is, whether an entailed estate in the possession of the
appellant was charged with a jointure to the respondent.
The Court of Session decided that it was; and from that
judgment the present appeal was brought. The case will
probably occupy two or three days in argument.

,HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO 7'IIBER.
There was a good business done in C.)tton at Liverpool yesterday
and prices were very steadily supported. Sales about 8,000 bales,
1,000 being on speculation; 3OO bales Brazil went at 4%d. to 6d. ;
300 Egyptian at sd. to 6d.; 400 Surat at 2%d. to 3d. per lb. ; anf
American at 3% to sd.
The market was good for the old shares, but scrips were lower.
By a direct arrival we have accounte of September 24 from Van
Dieman's Land. The colonists appeared ta I.e greatly interested in
the admission of their grain for consumption hi England, and will
be gratified therefore at the new arrangement of the duties, al-
though they no doubt would hive preferred a differential duty
From tett-ices of August 16 from New Zealand, it appears that a
pitched battle between the natives, under Heki, and our troops, was
daily expected at the nay of Islands.
In papers of September 10, from Sydney, it is stated that the
duty upon colonial and imported spirits was expected to be re-
duced one-half.
The following satisfactory information on the state of the Man-
chester market, has been kindly furnished us by Mews. 31. N air and
Co., of that place :-
" Our last, dated the 31st ult.' would prepare you for the gradual
amendment in the trade of this district. The intervening period has
realised our anticipations. Without any animation; and notwith-
standing Vie reznarkakly anomalous position of the Money Market,
which InC5 rendered discounts upon paper of a purely commercial
character, almost unattainable, a very considerable husinces has
been transacted during the month on both cloth and yarn, attended
with higher p: ices upon many descriptions of each. Had it not been for
the scarcity of money, the improvement would have been much
greatery and prices generally would have ruled higher. The latter,
however, is not to b regretted, but it is to be lamented that a legiti-
mate trade strould be interrupted and restricted in its expansion by
unwarranted and indescribably mischievous speculations. Natters,
however, with respect to the railway deposits cannot remain, we
apprehend, much longer as they aro. When they have terminated,
and a relaxation of the present tightness of money becomes available;
and when to these may be added the probability of an early settle-
ment of the coca-law question, a further improvement will occur
in business, not only here, but in other manufacturing localities."
Everything is rising in the English Stock Market, and the further
improvement is % to % per cent. The lodgments with the Ac-
countant-General being so large, if only a portion of them be invested
in stock, the effect upon prim, must be very decided, and coupled
with the daily purchases for the Sinking Fund, the Courts of Chan-
cery, &c., must act as a powerful counterpoise to the influence of
even the most adverse political events. In fact, with such an in-
evitable demand for Stock, the Bears become comparatively power-
less. Consols have been 95% %, but are now 96% for Money, and
96% for Time. Exchequer-bills have been also again higher, viz.,
325. to 365. premium. Bank Stock has been quoted 207% to 208%.
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 99% to %. East India
Stock is worth 256 to 258.
The Foreign Stocks are firmer ; but, except in Dutch stock, there
has not been much doing. Spanish are nominal, Portuguese pour
per Cents. realise 60%, Mexican have teuched 30%, and Brazilian 83.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 59%, and the Four per
Cents. 94% to 95%.
The Share market has been decidedly better to-day.
