MONEY and, COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 5,000 to
6,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was steady, and prices re-
mained without alteration.

There was a better market for Railway Shares, although but a
limited business was done: West Riding Union and Leeds Extension
have advanced in price.
The following are some of the principal sales by Messrs. Wickham
and Co., which took place yesterday at the Hall of Commerce: -
East Indian, I9s. 6:1.-Eastern Counties Extension, No. 2., 1405.-
Warwick and Worcester, 175.-Aylesbury and Thame, 285.-Glou-
cester, Aberystwith, and Central Wales, IN.-Cambridge and Ox-
ford, 16s. 6d.-Northumberland and Lancashire, 285.-London and
Manchester (Rastrick's), 715.-Galway and Kilkenny, 165.-Isle of
Axholme, 305.-Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, 225.-Cornwall
and Central Devon, 30s. 6d.-Essex and Suffolk, 155.-Grand Union,
275. 61.-Buckingkamshire, 465. 6d.-Wexford, Waterford, and Va-
lencia, 245. 6d.-Trinidad, Greet Eastern, and South-Western, 25.-
Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby, 285.-Midland and
Eastern Counties, 225. 6d.-Newcastle and. Berwick, 4135.-Man-
chester, Huddersfield, and Great Grimsby, 368.-Trinft, Reading, and
Basingstoke, 491. 6d.-London and Windsor, 14s. 6t1.-South Mid-
land, 82s. 6d.

The mercantile classes here are extremely annoyed at the unpre-
cedented length to which the debates on the corn-laws have already
been carried, with every probability of their lasting till next
Saturday morning, if not longer. Thus, three weeks have
been expended, and the result is, that in all the wholesale
departments of commerce and trade, there is hn almost en-
tire suspension of any business of importance. Nor can a
revival take place until it is known whether the proposition
of Sir Robert Peel will be successfully opposed by a majority of the
,House of Lords. The transactions In Mark-lane yesterday, and for
several market days before, may be said to have been Merely ninni-
the most pressing wants only causing purchasers to come
forward. Another branch of trade—that in coal—has been placed
almost hors de combat by the extreme mildness of the winter. The es-
timate en the Coal Exchange is, thot consumption is at least
% if not one 3l per cent under what it is usually in the winter
months. A check, therefore, has teen put upon the supplies from
the north, so that, should a few days' severe frost occur—not an
unexpected event—a good rise may be made in the value of the ar-
ticle.

Thero have not been any arrivals announced this morning from
the colonies of a later date than those formerly received. The re-
cent news from the East Indies is still a: matter of much conversa-
tion.

The Consol Market has not fluctuated to any extent thisymorn-
ing as respects speculative bargains. The' price has been from
95% to 96. For Money the value has been from 95% to 96. India
Stock was very firm at 260, being an advance of 1 per cent. upon the
former value. It would appear from this that the news
received from. India is not thought so badly of as
some alarmists would fain have people to believe. The
Account price for the same Stock is 259 to 259%. In Bank Stock
there has been a fall from 209% to 208%. The New Three-and a-
Quarter per Cents. have varied from 97% to 98% ; and the- Tliree
per Cent. Reduced from 96 ki to 9631. The Government broker made
his usual purchases to-day.

In the Foreign Funds business has been very slack this morning:
The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, have improved from 59% to
60 ; but the Four per Cents. have gone bask from 95% to 95U . Por-
tuguese Three per Cents. have advanced to 59. The Deferred Spanish
Stock has been sold at 17. Grenada are at 22%.
The quotations of the Railway Shares have not been llrm this
morning. Business is flat.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 24.
(Sittings at Biel Pet's, in Guildhall , b
)efore Lord DAMMAM and a
Special Jury.
ELLIS V. ABRAHAMS.

This was an action for a malicious prosecution. The defendant,
Abrahams, upon a former occasion prosecuted the plaintiff for per-
jury, which he alleged arose out of a transaction involving the sale
of some tenmois. Tho prosecution for perjury failed, no evidence
having been elicited to proVe that the plaintiff had been guilty of
perjury, and, therefore, he now took an action for a malicious prose-
ration. The case is likely to occupy the Court the whole day ;it
possesses no interest to the public.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

Mary Ann Perry was charged with having cotithitted perjury.
The case, which had been adjourned from tholireceding day, was
very much involved, as, if the perjury'could not -be proved against
the defendant, it must necessarily follow-that the prosecutor, Mr
Crouch, in whose family the defendant had lived as governess, had
committed a forgery.
A brief statement of the facts will explain this.
The defendant bad, some time ago, applied to the Cohrt of Bank-
ruptcy, and the offence charged was alleged to hate been committed
in making false answers to questions in that Court, while under the
obligations.of an oath. One of the items in her. schedule.was a pro-
missory note of 451. ss. 6d., payable en demand, and alleged to have
been signed by Miss Perry, in liquidation of her debt to Mr. Crouch.
It afterwards passed into the hands of a Mr. tevy, who, in conse-
quence, opposed the bankrupt's petition. She there denied that the
signature to the promissory note was hers, and the present charge
was, therefore, brought for perjury.
Mr. Parry was engaged for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for
the defence.

ThA ankadvert•-. t?c most severe
language on the conduct of the prose tot, m ottusin
written to the defendant full of the most unmanly and brutal insults,
and he particularly directed the attention of the jury to the fact that
no mention was therein made of this promissory.note, or his power
of using it as a legal instrument for ilifi vindictive. purposes.
The jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The ItEcomna: directed that the promissorYnCte should be
•
im-
pounded.

NEW COURT. •
(Before the Commox SEnozater.)
John Jfoore, aged 21, was indicted for feloniously receiving about
80 yards of carpeting, value 31., the property of dos. Townsend,
Islington.
Joseph Thomas Townsend lived at Islington, and had Carpeting in
his shop.' He saw the carpeting produced in Cotirt at 1 r o'clock on
the 6th of February, and missed it at three o'clock the same day.
N. Barker was standing near the last witness's shop about three
o'clock of the day in question, and saw a man (not the prisimer)
go into the shop, and bring cut the carpet, and leave with it im-
mediately.
Thomas Richards said the prisoner came into his master's shop abot
half-past four o'clock on the 6th of Feb., and offered the carpeting for
sale. Ile asked 508 for it, the sum he had paid for it, and said there
were 30 yards of it, but it turned out there were from 70 to 80 yards.
The prisoner, on seeing that he was suspected, ,left the
.carpet and
ran oft, but was pursued by the witness and given into custody.
The prisoner said, In defence, that he was a stranger, and ignorant
of the way in which these things were done in London. He was im-
posed upon by a person who instructed him to say and act as he did,
and he was now sorry for his compliance.
The case went to the jury, who found him Guilty, but with astrong
recommendation to mercy.
Judgment was deferred, that the prisoner might have opportunity
to communicate with any witnesses he had to bring forward to speak
to character.

according to quality, at 61s to 625. Bonded Crushed Sugar
is still much in request for forward delivery, and it is difficult
to purchase first quality under 35s per cwt.
MAURlTlUS.—Merchants have been more inclined to re-

kinds. The consumption is still on the increase, Mauritius
being cheaper than any other home trade kinds of sugar.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal

bags and 7 cases; the trade evinced little desire to operate,
and not above one half sold upon rather lower tortes

Sieners.—There was an extensive business done in Cal-
cutta Rum at an average of is 7d per gallon proof. In Lee-
ward Island the operations are upon a more extended scale,
but nst at better prices. Jamaica is not offered upon lower
