EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Westminster.—Trial at Bar, before Mr.
Baron PARKE Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Baron
RoLrE, and Mr.i Baron PLATT.)
BURON V. DENMAN.

This case was resumed this morning.
Mr. M. D. IT'LL proposed to put in evidence a
letter from the Earl of Aberdeen to the Board of
Admiralty, discountenancing proceedings similar to
those of the defenclant.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to its being put
in unless some documents referred to in the margin
of the letter were given.
Mr. M. D. HILL declined to put in the letter upon
such conditions. The depositions of William Mitchell,
a seaman on board the Wanderer, at the time of the
descent made upon the coast of the Gallinas by the
defendant—the depositions, which extended to some
considerable length, corroborated in the main the
statements made by the previous witnesses.
Mariano Dines was recalled, and
Mr. M. D. HILL, through the medium of an inter-
preter, asked him whether Mr. Buron could have any
access to the stores after the sentries had been placed
over them by the defendant ? to which the witness
replied, " He could not."

In at.swer to a question put by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL witness said that the sentries were stationed
for more than one day at Dombocorro, sentries were
placed at the stores at Kamopora, and at Chiccore.
They were stationed at Kamopora until the 23d,
when the stores were fired. The sentries were
stationed at Chiccore from the 19th to the 23e1 in
elusive, and were withdrawn when the stores were
fired.

This concluded the case on the part of the plaintiff.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to address the
jury on behalf of the defendant. It was difficult for
any British advocate to address a jury called upon to
estimate in money value their fellow human beings,
and the value of the goods used for the purpose of
carrying on traffic in human flesh. When they con-
sidered what in truth was the great and main truth
in this case, and remembered that by the instrument
of this cause, the defendant, having acted in the man-
ner which became him as an officer in her Majesty's
navy, the case was one of the most vital importance,
and he might be well excused if at the present time
he felt that his exertions would be totally in-
adequate for the occasion. In the consideration
Gf this case his Learned Friend (Mr. Hill) would
forgive him if he declined to follow him into the
many topics which he had introduced in his address
yesterday. They had now nothing to do with what
was the former practices of this country upon the
slave trade, nor was it his duty to enlist the sympa-
thies of the jury against the plaintiff upon this occa-
sion. It was their duty to administer the law as
they found it, neither had they anything to do with
that speculative inquiry or statement of his Learned
Friend which appeared to him far more adapted for a
meeting where the question of slavery was under
consideration, than for an important occasion like the
present; still less had they to deal with the matter of
that policy which his Learned Friend condemned, or
to enter into the difficult question of the circumstances
of a Parliament, which, having made great sacrifices
for the emancipation and perfect freedom of their
fellow• men, was said to be guilty of the inconsis-
tency of purchasing the produce of slave labour,
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

DEATH OF WILLIAM DOBSON, ESQ., SECRETARY
TO LLOYD'S.—This gentleman, who was appointed a
clerk on the establishment of Lloyd's in the year 1811,
and succeeded Mr. John Bennett as secretary in 1834,
on the decease of the latter, died this morning at his
residence in Gray's Inn, after a long and painful illness.
Mr. Dobson was universally esteemed by the members
and subscribers of Lloyd's, and the announcement of his
decease has cast a gloom over the whole establishment.
DRUEY-LANE.—Her Majesty has most graciously
signified her intention of visiting this theatre on Wed-
nesday evening.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL SEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales, 4,0ft0 bales, Railway Shares were in improved
demand.
The state of political affairs at Paris, aad the alleged
withdrawal from London of the Austrian Ambassador,
have been the topic of discussion in the City this morn-
ing, and there is a very confident feeling in the matter,
though great reliance seems to be expressed in the
talent and discretion of Lord Palmerston.
The papers received yesterday from Canada give
interesting particulars as to the progress of those great
works: which complete the water-communication of the
British North American colonies. It is stated that—
" By the liberal aid of the British Government, a
series of canals, now nearly completed, has been cun-
structed, by which the city of Montreal will have the
privilege of communication with the vast agricultural
region bordering on the western lakes, as far as Chi-
cago and Milwankie, by steam propellers, or sailing
vessels capable of transporting large cargoes. The effect
which may be produced by such a change in the facilities
of navigation on that extensive line can hardly be calcu-
lated. They will doubtless be important to the city of
Montreal, and to the whole region through which the
line extends. Such would have been their effect, had
the line of artificial navigation terminated at Montreal.
This would have made the great mart of a very exten-
sive inland trade.
"By the improvement now proposed, Montreal opens
a communication, for a trade of another character, with
the New Yolk and the New England States. This
trade also sec ms likely to prove beneficial both to
Canada and to the States, if left unincumbered with
burdensome legislation by the two Governments. The
ports of Montreal and -Burlington will become near
neighbours, and with two distinct railroads between
Burlington and Rochester, we shall be, for all purposes
of business, near neighbours to them both."
The granting of the sursis to De Bruyn and Co. by
the higher council in Holland, which decides these
matters, has been postponed for three week.
The dealers and brokers in the Stock-Exchange were
rather taken by surprise this morning at the sudden
closing of " Bull " accounts, and at sales to some amount
by parties supposed to have information concerning the
financial plans of Government. We do not believe that
any oile is aware of the intention of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, though all may form their conclu-
sions, and the reported funding of five or seven
millions of the floating debt has probability enough
to back it, without presuming that there is official
information. Consols opened fairly at 891 -11 for
transfer, declined suddenly to 89 to *, and are now
89k for Money and Time. The premium paid upon
the June Exchequer-bills is 235. to 265., and upon those
of March 18s. to 225. Bank Stock is steady at 200, and
India Stock at 2402. The New Three-and-a Quarter
per Cents. have been 19i to 90g.
The Foreign Securities have been comparatively dull
again. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 21k.
Brazil Bonds have been 841. Chilian Stock is worth
93. Mexican Bonds are 184 to 19. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 532 to 54k.
Railway Shares have been very quiet, but prices,
except in the case of the Brighton and Eastern Counties,
are not lower. South-Eastern, Midland, and some
others, are rather better.
