MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed
heavily. Sales 2,000 to 2,500 bales. American, 4id.
to 514. per lb. In Railway Shares there was but little
doing. The market was dull.
Efforts are still making abroad in support of national
credit. An influential meeting had been held at
Antwerp to consider of the establishment of a Na-
tional Credit Association. It is proposed that
there should be a voluntary subscription to provide the
requisite capital, and that members should be allowed to
borrow of the general fund upon the security of Public
Stocks, landed property, merchandise, &e. This is
upon the principle of a mutual insurance company.
It is reported that the house of Jaeger and Co., in
Germany, has resumed payment.
The American letters are not yet delivered, but it
does not appear, from the summary received, that the
news are important.
The loss upon the French Securities, from February to
the 12th instant, was as follows:—
francs.

The Corn Market is dull again to-day. The arrivals
of Corn, and indeed of most other articles, are very
large.
The English Funds have been firmer to-day, and
money stock is again a shade dearer than
Stock for Account, a proof that the dealers
and speculators are still Beers, and entertain
an unfavourable opinion of continental, Irish, and
other affairs. The chapter of accidents, coupled
with the possibility of money becoming scarcer is in
their favour, but it is - not the first time
that the public have beaten the jobbers by purchases
for investment, and should nothing serious occur, per-
haps this may happen again. Still there is fair ground
for speculation. Consols have been 82 to i- for Transfer,
and 81i to 82h- for Account. Exchequer-bills are 40s.
to 425. premium. East India Stock is worth 227 to 230.
The New Threo-aud-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
81i- to 814.
In the Foreign Market the dealings have been larger.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 14i to 154-.
and Brazilian Bonds, 65. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been marked 38 to 40.
The Railway share market is very dull, but prices
remain tolerably steady.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHAN GE-WEDNESDAY
The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast-
wise, has been very moderate, viz., 2,330 quarters. To-
day the show of samples was small, and the finest parcels
moved off steadily, at fully Monday's quotations. In
the middling and inferior kinds comparatively little
business was transacted, at late rates. With foreign
Wheat we were somewhat heavily supplied, owing to
which, sales progressed slowly, and prices were with
difficulty supported. Very little Barley was on offer.
All kinds ruled steady, and the currencies were well
maintained. We have to notice a very dull sale for
Malt, but without any decline in value. The Oat trade
was firm, at very full prices. In all other kinds of grain,
as well as Flour, exceedingly little was doing.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
BAILEY, BROTHERS V. MACAULAY.
The plaintiffs in this case are advertising; agents, and
the action was brought to recover tho sum of 1,0001.,
the balance of an account due to them by the Midland
Union Railway Company, of which the defendant was
a managing director. A verdict was found for the de-
fendant, on the ground that there :was not safficient
evidence to fix the liability of the defendant.
Mr. WHITEHURIT now moved to set aside the verdict.
The Court granted a rule.
Tan COM MAINTIII6 V. ?BABOON.
The Court also granted a rule in this case, which was
brought for the same debt, and in which a similar ver•
diet had been termini.

• COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
SMITII V. DEARLOVE.
This case was tried at the last York Assizes, when a
verdict was found for the plaintiff for 301., being the
value of a carriage and some harness which had been
deposited by the plaintiff with the defendant, who is an
innkeeper at Harrowgate, and upon which the defendant
claimed a lien as a guarantee for the payment of 201.
due to him by the plaintiff.
On Monday last Mr. Baines applied for a new trial,
on the ground that the plaintiff was a guest at the de-
fendant's inn, and, according to the law laid down in
several cases, the defendant had a good lien upon any
goods left in his possession as security for the debt in-
curred by the plaintiff in his character as a guest. It
appeared that, although the plaintiff did not reside at
the inn, he was in the habit of taking refreshment there
occasionally, and had accommodation provided on the
premises for his carriage and horses, and in addition,
hired apartments for a friend in the inn, for tho cost Of
which he rendered himself liable.
The COURT gave judgment in the case this morning,
observing, that the carriage and harness, for which the
action was brought, were not received by the defendant
iu his character as innkeeper; the plaintiff not being a
guest at his house at the time, and that the supply of
refreshments from time to time, and the accommodation
provided for the plaintiff's friend, were entirely distinct
contracts from that under which the carriage and har-
ness were received. The Court were, th( refore, of opinion
that the verdict was right, and on that ground refused to
grant a new trial.

- Rule accordingly refused.
RICHARDS V. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST

RAILWAY.
This action, which was brought to recover the value
of a box containing trinkets and other articles of con-
siderable value, which was lost by the wife of the plain-
tiff while journeying to London by the railway, was
tried at the last sittings at Guildhall, when a verdict for
1501. was found for the plaintiff.
The COURT, upon application this morning, granted
a rule to show cause why there should not be a new
trial.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER*)
CHAPMAN AND ANOTHER V. HOLMES.
This was an action to recover the sum of 1561. for
advertisements inserted in a newspaper called the
Railway Director, which was published during the rail-
way mainia. The defendant was sued as one of the
directors of the Somerset and North Devon Junction
Railway Company and Porlock Harbour and Dock
Company.
Mr. Cox, who appeared as counsel for the plaintiffs,
said that the defendant, by suffering judgment to go by
default, admitted his liability.
The Learned COUNSEL said the scheme was somewhat
extraordinary, being for a railroad between Porlock and
Bridgewater, and the formation of a dock and harbour
at the former place, although the population was not
much above 50, certainly not 100.
Evidence was adduced to prove the insertion of the
advertisements in accordance with the orders of the
defendant, and a verdict was given for the amount
claimed.

CHARTIST CONVENTION.

(THIS DAY.)

The delegates met this morning at nine o'clock, and
after having read several letters from the newly-ap-
pointed agitators, setting forth their success in the pro-
vinces, proceeded to consider the propriety of a motion
brought forward by Mr. Clarke, to the effect that the
elections to the proposed National Assembly should be
postponed for a week, on the ground that as her Ma-
jesty's Ministers would be out of town they would not be
able to present the memorial to the Queen.
Mr. BHERRIN and several other delegates opposed the
motion, on the ground that the few members then re-
maining in town ought not to interfere with the sesolu-
firm passed by the full Convention.
Mr. HARNEY wished to know, in order that he might
be guided as to the vote he should give upon the ques-
tion, whether there were any funds in hand to pay the
expenses of the National Assembly when they met ?
Mr. CLARKE (who fills the office of Chancellor of
the Exchequer) stated that the expenses of the meeting
of the forthcoming Assembly would be about 3001.
per week, and that at present _there was no funds what-
ever in hand, and :he begged further to state that to-
wards paying the expenses of the present convention
the executive had already drawn upwards of 1001. from
the resources of one gentleman.
Several of the delegates thought that these disclosures
ought not to be made matters of public notoriety, but
should have been brought forward in committee, and
they suggested that the gentleman who had advanced the
funds required for the expenses of the committee
should be immediately repaid.
Mr. SHERRIN stated that he had been paid all his ex-
penses by his constituents, and he believed that any de-
legate who was not paid by his constituents had no busi-
ness to have a seat at the table.

Mr. REYNOLDS, upon hearing this, rose with great in-
dignation, and said that after having heard those expres-
sions he would leave the Convention, and have nothing
further to do with its proceedings, and accordingly left
the room, through the intervention of some of the dele-
gates, however, he was brought back again.
Mr. SHERRIN having offered an humble apology, all
apprehension as to anything like a breach of the peace
taking place was removed by the two gentlemen accept-
ing each other's hand, and Mr. Reynolds, imitating
the conduct of his honourable leader in another assembly
upon a recent occasion, generously expressed himself
perfectly satisfied ; and trusted that henceforth they
should be better friends than ever.
The successive scenes of the retreat, the return, and
the reconciliation, caused great excitement, and the result
was hailed with acclamations by the strangers in the
gallery.
After some further discussion, the original motion
was agreed to by a large majority, and the sittings of
the National Assembly postponed until the Ist of May.
Mr. HARNEY then brought forward a resolution to the
effect, that the proposed national memorial to the Queen
should be signed by all males of eighteen years and up-
wards, and a separate memorial
should be signed by
women, setting forth the reasons for supporting the
Charter. He thought that some such step was abso-
lutely necessary, in order to redeem the character of the
Chartist body and of the Convention.
Mr. GRAHAM seconded the motion. He believed that
the large expressions which physical force made in that
Convention, had been made use of, because they believed
that they had five million of the people with them,
whereas it appeared that they had not two millions,
including all the fictitious names attached to the petition.
The Convention had been grossly deceived as to their
real strength in the country.
After some discussion the rasohltion:was agreed to, and
the. Convention adjourned.

ARREST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
TRAINING SOCIETIES IN DUBLIN.
In the House of Lords, last evening, the Marquis
of Lansdowne announced that the Lord-Lieutenant
of Ireland had on Monday issued warrants for the
arrest of all persons who had been attending
military drill in Dublin contrary to law, and
that the members of the Irish training societies
were now in custody ; also, that all persons who had
been firing at narks within the precincts of the city of
Dublin had been proceeded against under the provi-
sions of the Dublin Police Act, by which such firing
was rendered a misdemeanor.
