were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, the Earl of Staf-
ford, and Earl Stanhope.
PINKTS V. THE PATCLIFFE GAS COMPANY.
The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed,
and occupied their Lordships the whole morning.

IWLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
The Master of the Rolls was occupied the whole day with
motions and petitions. No case calling for a particular
report came before his Lordship in the course of the morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AMIIEP.ST.
His HONOUR gave judgment in this case to-day, declaring
that the assets of the late Duke of Leeds were answerable for
the equitable waste that had been committed. The case
occupied the Court some days in argument a short time ago,
at which period we gave a short outline of the facts.
THE ATTORNEY. GENERAL V. THE EARL OF DEVON.
The further arguments in this part-heard case, the ques-
tion in which relates to the management of the Tiverton
school, were resumed, and occupied the Court the whole day.
We have already given a detailed account of the facts. "
The Vice-Chancellors KNIGHT BRUCE and WIGEAm were
occupied the whole morning with causes of no interest.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Oran:, about 25 years of age, porter, was charged
with stabbing a female named Elizabeth Norton, under the
following circumstances:—
Between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night last,
the prisoner and the injured woman were drinking together
in the 'tap-rom of the City of Hereford public-house, in
Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square. Norton was intoxicated,
and a violent altercation ensued between them, in the course
of which she struck the prisoner twice in the face, making
use at the time of very abusive and provoking language. On
the prisoner recovering the second blow, he rushed and
closed with Norton • they struggled for an instant or two,
and then Norton called out that she was stabbed; blood was
directly afterwards seen streaming from a wound on her left
side. She shortly became insensible, and afterbeing removed
to a chemist's in the neighbcurhood she was conveyed to
Middlesex Hospital. In the interim the prisoner effected his
escape from the pub.ic-house, and absconued from the neigh-
bourhood. However, police-constable John Manning,
No. 86, of the E division, succeeded in tracing
him out, and between eight and nine o'clock last evening
apprehended him, concealed in a water-closet, in Granby-
place, Waterloo-road, Lambeth. Norton is about fifty years
of age, a married woman, and the mother of several children
now living, For several years past she bad cohabited with
the prisoner.
Inspector Clements, of the E division, handed to Mr.Maltby a certificate from' the Hospital, of the woman being
confined there from the effects of a stab of a very severe
nature in the left side, as to the probable result of which no
opinion could at present be formed. The wound was between
two and three inches in depth.
Mr. MALTBY asked if the riso
ner wished to say anything
in the present. stage of the
proceedings? The prisoner, who

seemed fully conscious of the very serious situation that he had
placed himself in, said, on the woman striking him a second
time, he made a rush towards her, having a knife in his
hand, with which they had been eating their supper; how
the wound was inflicted he was not conscious. Here ho burst
into tears. '
Mr. MALTBY remanded him until Thursday.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was again
heavy, and prices were 1/sd. per lb. lower. The sales were
30,000 to 40,000 bales, including 800 for export and on specu-
lation. Shires were dull.

The result of the meeting held at Lansdowne House on
Saturday afternoon, at which between seventy and eighty
Whig Members of the Upper House were present, and at
which it was unanimously resolved to support the Corn Bill
of Sir R. Peel, without any amendments whatever, bas been
the subject of universal conversation in all leading
circles this morning. Congratulations have passed that
this great measure may be now considered as be-
yond the chances of defeat. Parties unconnected with
trade or commerce know little of the impediments
which have been placed upon the interchange of
commodities by the protracted debates in the House of Com-
mons, and fervently is it hoped that in the House of Lords
the decision may be " speedy and soon," as the late Sir
William Curtis was in the habit of desiring business to be
transacted. The current rumour is that the Duke of
Wellington has still proxies at his disposal on Conservative
grounds, amounting to 70 or 75. Adding to these the,
Whig Members of the House of Lords, who met Lord
Lansdowne on Saturday afternoon, and who agreed to take
Ce measure, there can be little doubt that the Bill is safe,
and that following in the wake of the long period
of depression there will be a degree of anima-
tion in the trade of the country, which has
not been witnessed for many years past. The quotations of
the public securities are too high to permit of any material
advance, even were the Corn Bill passed; besides which, it
is certain that money will be required very extensively for
fresh commercial operations, sheuld the Lords not reject the
Bill.

A document arrived by the last mail from Canada, and to
which publicity has been given this morning, signed by Earl
Cathcart, and addressed to the Colonial Secretary. Upon
the face of the document the opinions expressed by Earl
Cathcart, savours strongly of the Richmond and Bentinck
policy, i. e., protection. Very broad assertions are made
by the Representative of her Majesty in Canada that the
alterations in the corn-laws will not only destroy the carry-
ing trade between this country and the- colony, but that it
may even tend to alienation of the people there, and
lead to annexation with the United States. But few
of the merchants here—ultra-Tories they are—have any faith
in results such as predicted. On the contrary, the mass of
merchants believe that all parties would be benefited by the
corn-law question being settled, as then fair competition
would be induced, and the resources of our own colonies
brought more prominently forward.
There have been several commercial arrivals to-day; but
they are singularly barren of information, excepting to parties
interested. The trade of the port of London is at present ex-
tremely brisk, as far as respects the warehousing of all sorts
of produce that has arrived from colonial or foreign ports.
The Public Securities have been rather firm this morning,
but there has not been any considerable amount of business
transacted. Cash is more in request than it was a week back.
The payment into the Treasury and the Bank of England
on account of duties are daily on the increase, and
this will for a time, at least, tend to make the money
market rather tight. Consols for the Account have advanced
this morning to 96% %, and for Money 963 A. Exchequer-
bills have fluctuated from 17s. to 225. premium. India Bonds
are at 30s. premium, and Back Stock at 205%.
The only bargains in the Foreign Bonds have been in
Mexican, at 31% 3,4 ; in the Deferred, at 171 sA ; in Peru-
vian, at 39% ; in Spanish, at 24%; in the Three per Cents.,
at 37% ; • and Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates were in re-
quest at 91%.
The Railway Shares still continue heavy. There are now
some hopes that the large amount in the hands of the Ac-
countant- General in Chancery, deposited on account of rail-
way projects, will soon be returned into circulation. Orders
were given in the Vice-Chancellor's Court on Saturday last
for paying out deposits upon ten or eleven schemes, the pro-
moters of which have not complied with the standing orders.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) ;

CORN-EXCHASGE-MONDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the
past were on a very limited scale, while those of all other
grain of home produce, including flour, were small. From
Ireland and Scotland the receipts of Oats were far beneath
an average quantity, but from abroad upwards of 11,000
quarters of wheat and 16,000 barrels of flour were received
and landed in warehouses. Fresh up, the arrivals of English
Wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples,
were rather scanty, but of fair average quality. Although
the attendance of buyers was no Ineans extensive, and the
show of samples small, the English Wheat trade was
in a very sluggish state. However, the finest quali-
ties moved off at prices about equal to those obtained
on this day se'nnight, but the middling and inferior kinds
declined in value is per quarter, and a large portion of the
latter runained unsold at the close of business., On the
whole the accounts which have reached us from various parts
of the country to-day, relative to the growing crops, are of
a favourable character. With free foreign Wheat we were
rather scantily supplied, yet the inquiry for that article was
on a very limited scale, at late rates. In Corn under lock
very little was doing, yet a few thousand quarters
were taken on certificate at 10s. per quarter. The
bonded stocks of Grain are still rapidly accumulating.
Notwithstanding the supply of Barley, both English and fo-
reign, was small, only the very first qualities commanded
any attention. These sold at last week's currencies; but
all other kinds were heavy, at barely late figures. The sup-
ply of Malt was again small, but fully adequate to meet the
wants of the dealers. The transactions were wholly of a
retail character, at prices about equal to those quoted last
week. The arrivals of Oats from all parts being small, we
had a very limited show of that grain here this morning:
yet the sale was extremely inactive, and last Monday's
prices were barely maintained. Grey and Maple Peas were
very dull, and 7d per quarter lower. White qualities as last
advised. Beans and Flour excessively dull, at late rates.

SMXTHPIELD.
The past week's imports of live stock from abroad have
been again liberal, they having consisted of 30 oxen from
Prussia, 10 ditto from Hamburgh ; 190 oxen, 50 cows, 473
sheep, and 3 calves from Rotterdam, most of which have
come to hand in fair average condition. We had on offer 30
beasts from Prussia, together with 230 oxen and cows and
140 sheep from Holland. The heaviness in the demand for
home-fed beasts and sheep had a depressing influence upon
that for the foreign stock, which, with difficulty, found
buyers at somewhat reduced figures. At Hull, nearly
200 head of sock have been imported since our last.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts
to-day were somewhat extensive, and of most excellent
quality, owing to which, and the thin attendance of buyers,
the Beef trade was in a very dull state, at barely, but at no-
thin quotable beneath, the prices obtained on Monday last,
and at which a clearance was not effected. From Norfolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots and
short-horns; fram the western and midland counties 300,
Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts ofEngland, 250
of various kinds ; and from Scotland,3oo horned and polled Scots.
'The numbers of Sheep were, compared with those exhibited
for some time past, larger, and of good quality. Prime old
Downs were, however, rather scarce, and which sold at full
prices. All other breeds were a mere ding, and in some in-
stances the rates had a downward tendency. Nearly 500
Lambs were' received from the _lsle of Wight. From other
quarters the receipts were good. The Lamb trade ruled dull,
at previous currencies. Calves and Pigs—the supplies of
which were moderate—sold heavily, at late rates.

NEMTGATE AND LEADENHALL.
Although the arrivals of slaughtered meat up to our mar-
kets during the past week have fallen off, they have been
seasonably extensive, and of fair average quality. The sup-
plies of meat killed in the metropolis have been good, owing
to which the general demand has ruled heavy, and the quo-
tations have, in some instances, had a downward tendency,
without effecting clearances. About 30 carcases of Beasts
and 120 do. of Sheep have appeared on sale.

BOROUGH HOP MIIMICET.

The supply of all kinds of Hops on offer being small, and
the accounts from the plantations (in which a great increase
of fly is apparent) by no means favourable, the demand
here is steady, and prices are well supported in every instance.
The duty is called 170,0001.
BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.

As this market is now fast drawing to a close, the arrivals
of Potatoes at the water side continue very small, but fully
adequate to meet the dealers. The best qualities are pro-
ducing high rates, but the middling and inferior kinds are
selling at ruinously low prices, viz., from 10s to 40s per ton :
York reds, 140 s to 180 s per ton ; ditto Regents, 40s to 120 s ;
Perth reds, 1103 to 120 s; Montrose buffs, 90s to 100 s.
