BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
EXPIATE THE PARISH OF ST. MARY, NEWINGTON.
Mr. Lusa moved for a rule to show cause why a man-
damus should not issue, directed to the authorities of the
pariah of St. Mary, Newington, commanding them to
summon a vestry meeting for the election of new
governors of the parish, in the room of those who went
out on Easter Monday last. The parish was governed
under the provisions of a local Act of Parliament, namely,
the 54th George,lll., cap. 113, which provided that 12 of
the governors should annually go out of office in rota-
tion, and their ♦acancies should be filled up by a vestry
meeting, either by poll or ballot, in such way as should
be deemed most proper by the meeting itself. Now at
the election on Easter Tuesday there were several
opposing candidates, and the Chairman decided the
election by a show of hands. A poll was demanded;
but there being no precedent for such a proceeding, the
chairman refused to accede to the request, while in
one instance where there were three candidates nomi-
nated, the chairman screening himself behind the ex-
cuse of there being no precedent, refused to put more
than two names to the vote at once.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Was the opinion of the
meeting taken as to how the election should be decided?
Mr. Lusa said it was not, but one of the ratepayers
suggested to the chairman that he had better call upon
the meeting to decide how the election should be de-
termined. The question had been discussed in the parish
for a long time, and the parishioners were now patti•
cularly anxious that the Court should decide whether
the election should be regulated according to the rules
of the common law, or in accordance with the prece-
dents established under the local act. —Rule nisi.
RANDELL U. WOOD.
Sir FREDERICK TIIESIGER moved for a rule calling
Upon Mr. Wood, an attorney of this court, to show
cause why he refused to refund f9Z which he had re-
cei►ed as the attorney of Mr. Randell. The money
Was the :proceeds of an action which Mr. Randell had
successfully prosecuted against the Sheriffs of Middle-
sex, but at the time it was received by Mr. Wood, his
attorney, he was upon the Continent. Since his return
he had discovered that Mr. Wood had applied for relief
under the Insolvent Debtor's Act, and had scheduled the
691. as a debt due to Mr. Randell, acting no doubt upon
the strength of a decision of the Court of Queen's
Ileoch, that where an attorney became bankrupt a client
Gould not recover money which he might have received
In his capacity of attorney, but in the case of an insol-
'ent that rule did not apply, and hence the present appli-
e4tion.—Rule nisi.

far. Rthn withdrew his amendment, and
M
~ r. E. downs moved another amendment, to the effect
tat the programme should consist only of subjects for
discussion as to the best means of making the Charter
the law of the land.
A state of considerable confusion arose upon the
'various amendments before the meeting, as each of the
delegates claimed the right to speak to every amend-
ment.
Mr. Councillor BRIGGS supported the amendment for
confining the discussion to the best means of obtaining
the People's Charter, and not to enter into the great
questions set down in the programme. With respect to
aristocracy, he believed that there was as much of aris-
tocracy among the working classes as could be found in
any other class, and be believed that such aristocracy
was of the worst kind. With respect to those gentlemen
who spoke so much and loudly about guns, pikes, and
muskets, he thought the best thing they could do would
be to take a spade and fall out with some common.
The following was the programme upon which the
discussion took place, and the questions upon which the
decision of the Assembly was to be sought, with a view
of enlightening the minds of the people of this country,
and, as one of the delegates stated, of laying down some
line of policy to be pursued by the country on these
subjects after the Charter had become the law of the
land:—

Reports from delegates on the state of the country.
Means of enabling the Assembly to give renewed
vigour to the movement.
Organization of the Chartist body.
Policy of the Chartist body in reference to other
parties seeking a reformation short of the People's
Charter.

MONE sort M ERCIAL N 1 S
CI T I , DJ
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales. American realised
363. to sd. per lb. American qualities under 4id. per
lb. were fully id. per lb. higher. There was not a good
supply. In Railway Shares there was a considerable
improvement. They closed firmly at the advanced rates.
The brilliant weather has caused the grain trade to
rule heavy to-day, and Monday's rates are barely sup-
ported. The arrivals in Mark-lane to-day include
1,630 quarters of English, and 6,110 quarters of foreign
Wheat. Of Irish Oats the quantity received is
4,310 quarters.
The home demand for manufactures is improving,
and there are expected to be better purchases on foreign
account.
The following are interesting particulars of the
Manchester market, as furnished by Messrs. Ferguson
and Taylor :
" The influx of natives and strangers from the Con-
tinent has contributed to swell the demand for the
superior descriptions of printed and woven fancy cotton
and mixed stuffs. We regret that the foreign demand
has not afforded an opportunity for so favourable a
comment. Since our last there has been little improve-
ment in the demand for any of the great European
markets, and the stocks of the staple articles prepared
for those quarters have continued to accumulate in bulk,
whilst they have been subjected to a relative de-
crease in their market value. The demand for
the German markets may be considered as
almost entirely suspended, and this business con.
stitutes a most important feature in tile trade of
this district. For the Levant there has been a little
more doing, but the extent of the operations bears only
a small proportion to the usual scale, owing to the diffi-
culties of remitting and realising remunerative proceeds
on the produce of Turkey, &c., consigned to some of
the Continental ports for sale. A fair demand has pre-
vailed for the more limited markets of Gibraltar and the
Peninsula. There has been much less doing for the
United States than was expected, and the Canadian
business this season shows a very considerable falling
off. For Mexico there have been some considerable
shipments of yarns, printed cottons, &c., &c., made
in anticipation of the re-imposition of the old
tariff immediately following the ratification of the
treaty of peace between that country and the United
States. These supplies, however, are inconsiderable
when compared with the extent of the market to which
they are consigned. We have experienced little im-
provement in demand for the West Indies, but we are
glad to find the prospects o: those colonies are not
deemed to be altogether hopeless yet."
The same parties continue their remarks by stating
that not much is doing for Brazil or the west coast, but
that a better business is expected for India and China.
We understand that there is more inquiry fur
produce today, with the view to cash, not speculative,
purchases.
