CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's
Inn, to-day, and beard original causes.

WATTS V. HYDE.

This case, which has been before several branches of
the Court, and this being the next, came before his Lord-
ship to-day for hearing upon the original cause. We
have before given the facts at length upon applications
for leave to amend, and upon the appeal from the deci-
sion on those applications. The case made of the bill
was, that the plaintiff, Mr. Alaric Watts, who is a lite-
rary gentleman, being in embarrassed circumstances,
entered into a compromise, and executed a deed of com-
position, by which he bound himself to pay to his cre-
ditors a sum of 1,5001. in discharge of their demand
against hurl, to be divided into three payments of 5001.
each, with v. covenant on the part of the plaintiff to in-
sure his life, the tired to be void in the event of a failure
in the regular pytnent of the insurance. The defendant,
who was the sol:citor of the plaintiff, claimed, on the
score of a private agreement, to have his debt paid in
full, notwithstanding that he signed the deed of compro-
mise. The defendant brought an action for', his debt,
and it was held by the Court of Exchequer that the
deed of composition was nullified in consequence of the
insurance not being paid according to the covenant.
The bill set up these equities, and prayed that the deed
might be declared to be binding on the defendant, not-
withstanding the non-insurance, or in the alternative
that au account might be taken of the amount of the
defendant's debt. . .

cellor Wigan.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
REGINA v. KENSINGTON.
The COURT gave judgment in the above case this
morning, deciding against the sufficiency of the writ.

THE CHARTIST PRISONERS.—The trials of the
Chartist prisoners will take place early in the ensuing
week, at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey.
Against Ernest C. Jones there is one indictment, con-
taining three counts, in which he is charged with" sedi-
tious speaking," " unlawful assembly," and " riot," at the
Chartist meeting held at Bishop Bonner's-fields, Beth-
nal-green, on the 4th of June last. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins
and Mr. Clarkson are the counsel engaged in his behalf.
Joseph I. J. Fussell, in one indictment, containing eight
counts, is charged, in six, for seditious speaking; in one,
for unlawful assembly, and in one for riot at the Clerken-
well-green meeting of the Chartists on the 29th of May
lust. Mr. Sergeant Allen, together with Mr. Huddle-
ston, will appear to defend him. Alexander Sharpe is
charged, in an indictment of four counts, for sedition,
unlawful assembly, and riot, at the meeting on Clerken-
well-green, on the 26th of May, and, in another indict-
ment, of five counts, of committing similar offences at
Bishop Bonner's-fields, on the 4th of June last. Mr.
Sergeant Wtlkins and Mr. Robinson are the counsel
selected for this prisoner. Against Joseph Williams
there are three indictments, one, of two counts, charging
him (conjointly with W. J. Vernon) for an unlawful
assembly and riot on the 29th of May last, at Cterken-
well, and the other two (ot four counts each) with sedi-
tious speaking (in addition to unlawful assembly and
riot) at meetings held on Clerkenwell-green, on the 25th
god 26th of May last. Mr. Sergeant Allen, assisted by
Mr. Ballantyne and Mr. Walter Morgan, will appear for
J. Williams.

The Ilsvre advices received yesterday state that the
Chamber of Commerce had petitioned the Minister of
Commerce to grant certain concessions, in order to re-
store trade to a healthy position. The Chamber requests
a general reduction of one-half of the tariff dues; the
free admission of the articles enumerated in schedule A
of the project of law presented on the 31st of last March,
under the conditions therein stated for regulating their
import; a reduction of the duties upon native and fo-
reign sugars of the second and inferior qualities to 20
francs the 100 kilogrammes, without distinction of mode
of manufacture, arid on French colonial sugars to 9
francs per 100 kilogrammes; the suppression of the du-
ties upon cotton wool; and the temporary admission of
foreign iron for the construction of machinery. If these
concessions were acceded to, the Chamber was of opinion
that the French shipping interest would, in the first in-
stance, be greatly benefited, and afterwards manufactures
in general. The commerce of the Republic requires
sortie such extensive measures, in order to relieve it fruity
its present depressed and languid state.

MOINE Y and COMMERCIAL INL NI S.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIM:
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yestt rday was quiet.
Sales 4,500 to 5,000 bales, and for the week 26,840
bales. Stock, 634,916 bales, against 437,140 bales at
this time last year. Railway Shares improved again,
and a good business was done at advanced prices.
The Bank of England return for the week to the 24th
ultimo presents the same features as last week, and we
need but refer to the items and the comparison with the
previous week, here subjoined. An early further reduc-
tion of the rate of interest appears now to be almost a
certainty.

Accounts of March 8, from Auckland, New Zealand,
state that Governor Grey had just returned from a visit
to the settlements at the Bay of Islands, Wellingtcn,
Nelson, Akaroa, Wangamir, Otago, and New Ply-
mouth.
The following report of the Manchester Market has
been forwarded to us by Messrs. M‘Nair, Greenhow, and

Irving:—
•' Unnecessary though it may appear, continued allu-
sion to the existing state of matters on the continent of
Europe seems to us to be unavoidable, whilst we recog-
nise in them the origin of a most destructive influence
upon the trade of this district, and believe that in their
continuance consists one of the main hindrances to-
wards progressive amendment. The recent calamitous
outbreak in France has, however, had no materially de-
pressing tendency, as most persons anticipated some such
catastrophe.
`• Considering all the opposing causes in operation,
admitting the dull and inanimate character of the mar-
ket, but recollecting that June is a month of proverbial
inactivity, even in ordinary years, and that the interpo-
sition of the Whitsuntide holidays materially interfere
with and abridge the extent of transactions, we are glad
to have it in our power to present you with a more fa-
vourable report than what you may have been led to
expect."
Although a difficulty is experienced in getting dis-
counted any paper not first-rate, the funds are resorted
to at advanced prices, and the statement of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer concerning the reductions in
the national expenditure, has given a further impetus to
prices. Consols have been 84f to 844, or nearly, one
per cent. better than they opened yesterday mornitrg►.

ments from the Portuguese Finance Agency respecting
