NIONEY and COMNIERCIAL "NEWS.
/ /AR TO 1' f.; .
In the Cott. n minket at Liverpool on Saturday there
was more animatisrs Saks nearly 6,000 bales. ri ices
w. re stesdy. Railway ehares were doll, and prices were
generally loner.
The Corn market, owing to the fine weather and large
'arrivals is lower, wheat as,d barley by is. por quarter.
Matter.; wear a very tranquil, net to say impassive
and heavy aspect in the City to-day. The coutection of
Mr. Mitchel, however, is deemed a satisfactory circum-
stance, although some have apprehensions of disturt-
ances resulting therelrom. The Spanish question, yet
remains to be aljustcd, and the correspondence pub-
lished seems to be interpreted favourably to Mr. Bulwer.
If so, the insult is one to he resented, as our City poli-
ticians conceive. The .Danish affair is apparently in
a fair train for settlement, but there can be no doubt
that the Goveramsnt at Copenhagen will be more than
ever determined to obtain full justice.
A few letters and papers of Java. 19 have come to hand
from South Australia. The colony was vtry prosperous,
and land was rising materially in value. 'fhe great
want experienced was of labour to carry forward the
agricultural and mining pursuits of the settlement.
The following particulars relative to the iron trade
have come to hand from Birmingham:—
"Since our last remarks the general tenor of all trans-
actions in the iron trade has been drooping, and the
prospect of amendment is too far removed to incite spe-
culative investment, while the export consumption re-
mains at the lowest possible ebb.
The late consecutive concessions in price, though
affording a momentary relief in some instances, have
failed to produce any increase of orders; on the other
hand, they aro daily becoming scarcer. Working short
time is fully resorted to, and a greater number of hands
must inevitably be soon thrown entirely out of employ.
The receipts of the country shopkeepers and small
tradespeople already exhibit a fearful deticiency, as con-
trasted with former activity. We observe, however,
that a further increase of the make in the raw material
has taken place by the blowing in again of one or two
additional furnaces.
"'1 h pr•ssure of the late monetary crisis, and the
present stagnation of business, have doubtless been
heavily telt by houses of every grade, and must, if prs-
long,d, produce still further disastrous results.
"The question whether we have arrived at the
lowest point, or whether something further is to occur
than the sanctioning of what has already taken place.
In the accounts trent Liverpool, dated the 2Sth inst., we
read—' We have Still to report a downward tendency in
the market;' and of Pig Iron, there is no change to
mention; tbe mat list seems quite inactive, with a fulling
demand, un:l an increased make.'"
There is again a dull MIZI ket for the Public Securities,
and, without money purchases, no immediate improve-
ment appears likely. Speculators for a rise are disin-
clined to operate at present above 84, wh;ch, until poli-
tical events are quieter, is considered a fair value. It is
remarked, too, that the unfunded debt experiences diur
nally a reduction in its market vaqie. Exehi quer-bills
have been down to 351. and 31s. prtmium, al-
though they are ;secured 21(1. to 3.1. per centum
nsr diens until March next. Clearly there is a want of
more y, either among the jobbers or out of the hon.,

Stock was 191 to 1921. The New Tnree-and-a-Quarter
p. -r Cents. realised 831 avid the Three por Cents. 821
Cons 1s have been 84 to 84g.
Dullness is also the pervading feature in the Foreign
Market, but, probably in anticipation of the settlement,
Spanish Three per Cent. Bonds hare risen trims 211 i• to
221 4. The Passive Bonds have been at 3i. Mexican

In the Railway Share Market there is an appearance
of apathy, aid prices are nut so good.

At the outports nearly 900 head of each kind of stock
have been lunded, chiefly from Rotterdam, the quality of
which has proved good. The supply of foreign beasts,
here to-day was, comparatively speaking, limited, and of
very middling quality. That of Sheep and Calves was
seasonably good, and in fair average condition. For the
time of year, the numbers of home-fed Beasts on sale
were extensive, and of unusually prime quality; indeed,
at least nine-tenths of them were heavy weighers. We
may further observe that a finer collection of .13asts has
been seldom witnessed in the mouth of Ma). The Bul-
lock supply being more than tub quate to meet the wants
of the butchers, whose attendance was rather numerous,
awl the weather unfavourable to slaughtering, the Beet
trade was heavy, and, in some instances, the quotations
had a downward tendency. However, the very primest
Scots sold at from 3s 103 to 4s per Sibs. At the close
of business a large number of second•rate beasts left the
market unsold. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Catnbridgeshire, consisted of 1,400 Scots and
short horns; from the rorthern, western, and midland
eouutii s, 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devoris, Irish Beasts.
&c.; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds;
and :rum Scotland, 400 horned and polled Scots. The
numbers of Sheep were again on the increase, bat their
general quality was by no means first-rate. All breeds,
especially the Kents and halt-breds, moved off slowly,
at a decline in value of 2d per Blbs. The highest figure
fur the best old Downs was 5s per Blbs. With Lambs
we were somewhat heavily supplied, but nearly a moiety
of these were out of condition. The Lamb trade was
very dull, and prices receded from 2d to 411 per 81bs.
Prime Dow n qualities sold at from 6s to 63 4d per 81bs.
From the Isie of Wight, 400 head cama to hand. In
Calves exceedingly little was doing, at from 2d to 4d per
Sibs less money. Pigs were a dull sale, and quite 2d
per Bibs lower.

The arrivals of slaughtered Meat up to these markets
during the past week have been on the increase, viz.,
300 twenties of Btef, 500 ditto of Mutton, 400 ditto of
Lamb, 300 ditto of Veal, end 350 ditto of Pork. The
t,upplies on offer killed in the metropolis have been
seasonable good, and of excellent quality. Beef, Lamb,
and Veal have moved off s!owly, on somewhat easier
terms; but the value of Mutton and Pork has been well
supported. About 800 carcases of foreign Meat, slaugh-
tered in London, have been on sale.

ITIGGINSON V, SHAND.
The further arguments in this case occupied the Court
the whole of the morning. The case curve before his
Lordship on Saturday upon motion for an injunction to
restrain the public officer of the Royal Bank of Liver-
pool from proceeding to make the plaintiff a batik, upt
under the eighth section of the Ist and 2tl Victoria, e.

110. The plaintiff had become security to the extent of
60,000/. for the house of Barton, Irian; and Higginson,
of Liverpool, which became insolvent in September,
1847, and the bank now sought to recover the amount
of the liability. The plaintiff ulleged,,in support of the
motion, that a part of the money had been paid, and
that, as the bank did not perform the conditiona on which
he had consented to b( come security, he stood absolved
with respect to the remainder.
Mr. Bethell and Mr. Hall were counsel for the plain-
tiff ; and Mr. Rult and Mr. Prior lure in support of the
defendants.

fresh up this morning, from Essex, Kent, and other

The finest picked samples of White sold slowly, at
prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last.

Most of the recent imports hare been landed in bond.
Very little English Barley was on offer. The show of
Foreign was very extensive, owing to which, and the
close of the malting season, the trade was dull, at a fall
in the currencies of from Is to 2s per quarter. With
Malt we were scantily supplied; all kends moved off
slowly, at last week's quotations. Although the total
quantity of Oats brought forward was not to ssy large,
that article was dull, and from 6d to Is per quarter
lower. The quantity of Oats on the way from Ireland
is represented as small. Beans, !he supply of
was small, sold freely, at prices filly equal to those of
last week. Peas of all kinds were firm, and, in some
instances, is per quarter higher. Indian Corn and
Meal were held for more money. Flour was very dull,

costs, which had been paid by the amalgamated com-
pany, and it prayed that an account might be taken and
payment of his share made to the plaintiff.
The Vicn-CRANcELeon, in giving judgment, regretted
that he did not consiOt r himselt able to decide the ease,
and he should therefore direct an issue to be triad ut law
to the following effct:---Whether, upon the occasion of

the amalgamation of the two companies, or at Eny
time, it was agreed between the plaintiff and defendant
that the business of the amalgamated companies should
be carried on by them jointly as partners ;
and if the jury should find that there was such ate'
agreement then whether it was agreed between th
plaintiff and the defendant that the property should be
divided in equal shares between them ; liberty to state
special circumstances.
His Honour also disposed of the case of Scott v.
French, and Hirst v. Hutchings, but the cases possess
no interest except to the parties concerned.
The case of &Lintz:lons and Hasenclever also stood in
his Honour's paper for judgment, but the Court post-
poned its decision on it to a future day.

sought, he appropriated it to his own use. Various ap-
plications, extending over several months, had been made
to the attorney for the money without having the
desired effect, and the applicants had therefore been
driven to make this application to the Court. It had
been suggested that an attorney so acting ought to be
punished by the Court, but he (Mr. Martin) was not
very fond of the adoption of such a course. What he,
thet ef ore, asked for was, a rule calling upon the defend-
ant either to pay the money or to answer the allegations
in the affidavit on which he moved. The case was a
very serious one against the defendant, and it would
be for his Lordship to say whether he ought to be pu-
nished or not.
Mr. Justice ERLE said it was for the Learned Counsel
in his wisdom to determine the point; if he considered
the attorney deserved punishment he had better make
an application to that effect to the Court.
Mr. MARTIN preferred to take a rule, with the alter-
native he had pointed out.

A GENEALOGICAL AND HERALDIC DIC-
TIONARY OF THE PEERAGE AND BA-
, RONEIAGE OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
By John Burke, Esq., and J. Bernard Burke, Esq.
Tenth Edition.

This, the tenth edition of " Burke's Peerage," a
work which is of the greatest possible importance
and utility, and which, being arranged in the alpha-
betical form, is the only " Peerage" which is really
useful as a book of reference, is corrected up to the
present moment, and is a 2orrect mirror of the Peer-
age and liaronetage of the United Kingdom up to
the month of May, 1848. After the high reputation
which "Burke's Peerage" has for a series of years
enjoyed, any observations in praise of the plan on
which it is compiled, or of the accuracy by which it
has ever been distinguished, would be supererogatory.
'ln the present edition each article has been separately
and distinctly revised,and the information acquired by
the authors from the extensive collections they have
made from the "History of the Landed Gentry" has
enabled them to go more at large into collateral lines, and
thus to enrich their pitges by an accession of names to
the respective Pedigrees which had previously been
entirely excluded or forgotten. The book, which is
illustrated by the armorial bearings of every Peer and
Baronet in the kingdom, is beautifully printed in a
small but clear type, and, trom the manner in which
it is got up, will be an ornament to the drawing- room
or library table, independently of its great utility as
a work of reference.

weikpeople of the dockyatd, the town was very gay.

casion, took an excurAon party to Margate. The boat we)

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.—On Saturday morn-
ing, at an early hour, a fire, by which not fewer than
five families were deprived of all the property they once
possessed, broke out at No. 3, Hoxtun-market, in the
joint occupation of Mr. Sadley, chair manufacturer; Mr.
Miller, a cabinet maker ; and numerous lodgers. The
flames were first discovered by police-constahle N 145,
through perceiving smoke issuing from the chair maker's
shop on the ground floor. At this time there were near
thirty persons, including children, in their beds asleep.
By continued knocking at the Street dour, and pelting
at the windows, the residents were made sensible of the
great danger to which they were exposed. The fire,
however, had by that time made fearful progress, having
extended from the workshops to the staircase, and thence
to the bedrooms of the occupants. The cries of the /scar
people were truly distressing; being fairly encompassed
with flame, they expected every second to be burned to
death. Fortunately, police-conetable 145 N, at the
risk of losing his own life, succeeded in rescuing from,
the flames two a omen and six children. The other re-
sidents were saved by some of the neighbours, but so
rapid was the progress of the fire, that none of them
were able to save a single article of clothing, Dragon

THE REVUE RETROSPECTIVE.
The eighth number of the " Revue Retrospective "
contains the s; quel, which we subjoin, of the corre-
spondence between the royal families of France and
England. The last letter of the series is the formal
reply from her Majesty Queen Victoria to the Queen
of the French, on the announcement by the former of
the conclusion of the marriage of the Duke of .Mont-
pensier. This number also contains a letter from
Louis Philippe to the Bishop of Llandaff, dated
July 21, 1804, on the occasion of the death (or
murder) of the unfortunate Duc d'Enghien, who
was shut, by order of Napoleon, in one of the trenches
of Vincennes; as :also a most interesting letter from
Admiral Dupetit Thouars, the French admiral at
Otaheite. We publish to-day the letter of the Queen
of the French, and the reply of her Majesty Queen
Victoria, on the Montpensier marriage.
FROM THE QUEER OF THE FRENCH TO THE QUEEN OF
ENGLAND ANNOUNCING THE MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE
OF MONTPENSIER.
TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Madame,—Confident in that great friendship of which
your Majesty has given us so many proofs, and in the
amiable interest which you have always shown to all our
children, I hasten to announce to you the conclusion of
the marriage of our son Montpensier with the Infanta.
Louisa Fernando. This family event overpowers us with
joy, because I hope that it will insure the happiness of
our dear son, and that we will find in the Infanta a new
daughter as good and as amiable as the elder ones, and
who will add to our internal happiness, the only true
happiness in this world, and which you, Madam, know
so well how to appreciate. I ask to you, in anticipation,
your friendship for our new child, feeling sure that you
partake all the sentiments of devotion and of affection
which we all feel for you, for Prince Albert, and for
all your deur family.—l am, Madam, your Majesty's en-
tirely devoted servant and friend,
MARIE•AMELIE.
TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF THE FRENCH.
Osborne, Sevember 10. 1846.
Madam—l have just received your Majesty's letter, of
the Bth of this month, and I hasten to thank you for it.
You will remember, perhaps, what happened at Eu be-
tween the King and me : you know the importance which
I have always attached to the maintenance of our cordial
understanding, and the zeal with which I have laboured
in it. You have learned without doubt that we refused
to arrange the marriage between the Queen of Spain and
our cousin Leopold (which the two Queens were very
anxious for), with the sole object of not departing from
a course which might be more aeTeetible to the King,
although we could_ not consider tilt course as the best.
You can then easily comprehend that the sudden an-
nouncement of the double marriage could cause us no-
thing but surprise and very deep regret.
I ask pardon, Madam, fur speaking to you at the pre-
sent moment ab t 1- •
ou

say to myself that I have been always
