GENERAL.

Their Lordships were occupied the remainder of the
morning with the arguments in this appeal from the
judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, direct-
ing certain references to the Master. The case appears
likely to occupy their Lordships several days.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
In the case of Mr. Gore, convicted in February of a
nuisance in the parish of St. Luke's,
The ASSISTANT JUDGE stated, that upon his last visit
of inspection to the site of the laystull, he found that
all the rubbish had been cleared away, and the nuisance
was abated. The defendant might now be discharged
from his bail, on payment of the costs to which the parish
had been put in prosecuting.
Mr. PARRY, on the part of the parish authorities, re•
turned thanks to the Learned Judge for his energy and
attention in the case, to which the removal of the nui-
sance was mainly attributable
Henry Richardson was indicted for assaulting a police-
man, named lusted, in the execution of his duty.
Mr. U'l3arierr stated that he was instructed to forego
the prosecution if the prisoner would enter into his own
recognizance* to keep the peace.
Mr. WILD, who was for the prisoner, expressed his
regret that he could not persuade his client to agree to
the offes.

The prisoner persisted in refusing the proffered com-
promise, although he was strongly advised by Mr,
Clarkson and other barristers, as well as by several per-
ions in the court.

The ASSISTANT JUDGE said that he had his option to
escape the risk of a trial, and go out of court upon his
own undertaking that he would behave himself in
future. If the jury should have the trouble of going
into the inquiry and should find him guilty, it would
then be too late to appeal to the Court for mercy.
The prisoner vv.ss Immoveable, and said " I am not
guilt)." All the witnesses on both sides were ordered
out of court, and the trial proceeded.
The prosecutor stated that on the night of the 27th of
June last, the prisoner and a number of other persons
were making a disturbance outside the D'Ojley Arms
in Leader-street, Marlborough- road, Chelsea. The
witness interfered, when he was violently assaulted by
the prisoner, who, in the course of the scuffle, kicked him.
Henry Notley, another constable, confirmed the pro-
secutor's evidence.

Four young men who were in the prisoner's company
on the night in question, distinctly contradicted the
statements of the policemen. These witnesses were all
agreed in swearing that the prisoner did not kick the
prosecutor at all, but that, on the contrary, the latter
pulled him to the ground and dragged him on his back
along the ground fur twenty yards in ttshameful manner.
Thu jury, however, found the prisoner guilty, and the
Court sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment.
Edward Foy was indicted for an assault on John
Richardson, on the 24th of June last.
The prosecutor, who is a musical-instrument-maker,
stated, that on the day named he was passing. through
Cromer-street, when the defendant came behind hun,
knocked him down, kicked him, and bit him on the
cheek. When the prosecutor was released from him,
the prisoner jumped into a cab and drove otT. The
police pursued him, and he was taken into custody.
It was attempted by Mr. MILLER, for the defence, to
get from the prosecutor the admission that he was
a prize-fighter, that he owed money to the prisoner,
that they had a fair stand-up fight. He denied having
had any dealings whatever with the prisoner,
and swore that he knew nothing of any
provocation whatever for the attack. Two witnesses
corroborated his statement, but two others swore that
ho parties met in Cromer-street, exchanged abusive
language, and then blows.
The ASSISTANT JUDGE, summed up, and the jury
found him Guilty.
The JUDGE, comm
enting on his conduct with great
severity, sentenced him to be imprisoned two mouths, to
pay a fine of 25/., and to give security himself in 801.,
'rid two others 40/. each, to keep the peace for twelve
months.

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
Frodsham, was charged before Mr. Nurton, the
sitting magistrate with having assaulted several female.,
snd also the police.

V 206, proved that the prisoner struck him violently
ever the left eye, and that he now felt the pain most
acutely.
Other witnesses were examined, one of whom proved
the prisoner offered the policeman ss. to let him off,
which he, of course, refused.
The prisoner, in answer to a question from the magis-
trate, said he had taken too much wine, and did not
know what he was doing.
The magistrate said, being a special constable, that
instead of assaulting the police, he should have been one
to assist in protecting them; he, therefore, must inflict
fine of 3/., or one month's imprisonment.
Several other cases were gone into, but nono of any
public interest.

DEATHS Timm DROWNlNG.—Yesterday Mr. W.
Carter held inquests on the bodies of two youths
of twelve years each. The first case was that of
rnornas Bose, whose father, when living, belonged
to the Second Life Guards. He was drowned whilst
ba'hing. The second case was that of a lad named
Alexander Lee, of poor parents, who, while swim-
ming a small boat off the timbers at the lower side of
Waterloo- bridge, on Sunday afternoon last, fell into
eight feet of water. Verdicts in both cases " Accidental
death." Upwards of 20 cases of drowning have re-
quired the attendance of coroners and juries on the banks
of the Thames during the present month.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUART'S'? TO 7 'MEE

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
brisk; sales 6,000 to 7,000 bales. American realized 31d.
to 51. d. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened
with great spirit, and prices were generally higher.
The Britannia steamer has not brought yet the rati-
fication of the Mexican treaty, but the delay excites no
uneasiness, because it arises simply from the non•arrival
of the gentleman officially charged in the matter. The
latest items of commercial interest from New York ap-
pear to be these:—
" The commercial classes are comparatively easy in
all their financial affairs, and the demand does not come
from them, neither is there any steady natural demand
from any source of any importance ; but it is the im-
mense amount uf capital locked up that creates the strin-
gency so much complained of during the past week or
two. The payments in the shape of interest on Go-
vernment and State loans, dividends from incorporated
companies, and the liquidation of loans fulling due, in
connexion with the large sums called in on account of
loans just created, have required a larger amount of
money than ever known at any previous period within
the history of the country. The temporary withdrawal
of such a large sum from the usual channels of trade,
could not but have produced a temporary stringency in
the market, and it is probable that its duration will not be
long enough to create any very serious embarrassment
commercialin circles.

" It will be perceived that the shipments of specie for
the month have been nearly equal to thcse of merchan-
dize. The exports to Great Britain have been about 50
per cent. of the aggregate, and the balance has been
divided in small sums in shipments to other countries.
The shipuients, including specie, have been large for the
month; but the excess has been in the precious metals.
The value of merchandise exported in June was 109,332
dollars less than in May, and of specie 377,281 dollars
less. The amount of specie exp,,ried in the first six
months of 1848 was 7,926,454 dollars, and of merchan-
dise 14,558.316 dollars, making en aggregate of
22,484,770 dollars.
The sales of Wheat last week in the towns which
regulate the duties were 113,478 quarters.
The Indigo sales were brought to, a close yesterday
afternoon, and went off much better than was expected,
seeing the general badness of trade. Good and fine
shipping went at 2d. to 3d. per lb. lower, and Madras
good and fine 2d. to 3d. per lb. higher.
The Public Securities have been very agitated again
this morning, and there is an extensive speculative
business doing. Consols have been 87/ to 874 for
Transfer, and 874 to 4 fur Account. Exchequer-bills 495.
