MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
owing to the unfavourable report from the Manchester mar-
ket. 4,000 to 5,000 bales, chiefly American, at 41/Bd. to 514 d.
per lb. Shares were heavy.
Shares are in fair demand at the auctions, and buyers are
found fer almost every description of Railway stock. At
the public sale by Messrs. Wickham, and Co., at the Hall of
Commerce, a vast amount of business was done, and the
prices (of which we quote a few) were well maintained
throughout. Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston, 325. 6d.

The advices from New York by the Great Western notice
an easier state of things in the money market, and appa-
rently a more tranquil feeling in reference to political mattes.
The commerce between this country and the United States
has however already suffered materially this year, and what
is lost can scarcely be regarded.
The value of merchandise exported from New York, for
the month of April, 1846, was as annexed :
Commerce of the Port of New York.—Value of

Exports, April, 1846. Dollars.
Domestic merchandise
Foreign merchandise, free
Foreign merchandise, dutiable 195,518

2,309,181
Specie exported 519,599

Total Export .. 2,828,780
It will be perceived that the value of merchandise exported
was very limited, and that the shipments of specie have
reached a very fair amount.
The position of the English Stock Market has certainly
not improved within the last day or two, and by their indis•
position to do business, as well as by their inclination to
Bear, the dealers are assisting a decline. Consols have been
9614 to 96% for present Transfer, and 964 for Account.
The premium on Exchequer-bills has been down to 18s. and
135., and, if money becomes much scarcer, no doubt the
speculators will force it still lower. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents, have been 97 to 97%, and the Three per
Cents. 95 to 954. Bank Stock keeps very firm at 206.
The Foreign Bonds have been very steady, but there is no
speculation going on. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
realised 5714 ; Mexican Five per Cents. 324 ; and the De-
ferred, 16%. These are improved rates, because
the leading bondholders are endeavouring to frame
a plan in concert with the Mexican Minister and
agents for
i a more equitable compromise of the debt and ar-
rears of interest, and which it is hoped may lead to a suc-
cessful issue-77% per cent. in a new stock being offered, it
is said, for the Active, and 65 for the Deferred, by the Mexi-
can Ambassador. There have been no bargains in Spanish.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 59%.
For Shares the demand has been limited again, and prices
are generally flat.

NEW BURIAL GROUND AT FOLICESTONE.-013
Thursday last the new burial ground attached to Folkestone Church
(presented by the Earl of Radnor) was consecrated by his Grace the
Archbishop of Canterbury, who was attended by the Venerable
Archdeacon Croft and the clergy of the district. Owing to the very
unfavourable state of the weather but few spectators were present to
witness the ceremony. The Archbishop, Archdeacon, and several
clergymen and gentlemen, afterwards adjourned to the Pavilion
Betel, where au excellent dinner was prepared for them.—/fentish
Observer.
DARING ESCAPE OF A SMUGGLER.— Yesterday after-
noon, at four o'clock, Mr. Potbury, the solicitor, from the Board of
Customs, attended at the Woolwich Police-court, before Mr. Tra,ll,
to support a charge against William Niles, an American seaman be-
longing to the brig Oceans, for having in his possession 14lbs. of fo-
reign tobacco upon which the duty had not been paid. The prisoner
was lett in the ante-room in charge of Mr. Fowler, a tide-surveyor,
but when the case was called on the prisoner was not to be found.
It appeared that during a short interval in which the officer had his
back turned towards the prisoner, the latter threw open one of the
side windows of the police-court and jumped out, walking leisurely
down the street. His escape was accidentally discovered by a bye-
stander, and some of the Police-constables were cent in pursuit of
him, but up to a late hour no tidings could be heard of the where-
abouts of this new repudiator.
THE HOUSE OF PEEL.—The following passage occurs
in Rev. John Wesley's Journal, bearing date July 27, 1787 :—" I was
invited to breakfast, at Bury, by Mr. Peel, a calico printer, who, a
few years ago, began with 500/., and is now supposed to have bO,OOO/.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The present week's arrivals of Wheat of home produce have been
on a very limited scale ; nevertheless, the show of saa.ples of that
article was fully adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, all kinds
being a very slow sale, at barely Monday's reduced figures. In
Foreign Wheat, both free and in bond, next to nothing was doing,
and previous rates were with difficulty snpperted. Certificates were
held at 10s. per quarter. There was very little doing in Barley, yet
prices were mostly maintained. Malt ready for delivery went off
at previous rates, but other parcels were a slow inquiry. The Oat
trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Beans, Peas,
and Flour heavy, but not cheaper. Upwards of 10 000 barrels of the
latter have arrived front the United States this week.

The supply of Beasts here was but limited, and, comparatively
speaking, of middling quality ; still, however, the Beef trade was in
a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's quotations. There was on
sale 76 Oxen and Cows, together with 50 Sheep, from Molland,
38 Beasts from Frussia, and 100 Scots from Aberdeen. The numbers
of Sheep were not largo, yet the inquiry for them was inactive, at
late rates. From the Isle of Wight 3,50 Lambs were received per
railway ; while, from other parts, the arrivals were extensive. The
Lamb trade ruled dull, yet prices were mostly supported. In Calves,
the supply of which was good, next to nothing was doing, and the
quotations had, in some instances, a downward tendency. The Pork
trade was very heavy, at abent previous currenees. Milch Cows
were selling at from 151. to M. 10s. each, including their small Calf.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The
Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and
Lord Campbell.

SCOTT V. LETHEM.

The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed
and concluded to-day, and
Their LORDSHIPS gave judgment, affirming the decision of
the Court below.

WISHART V. WILSON.
The arguments in this appeal from the judge of the Court of
Session occupied their Lordships the remainder of the day.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Lord Chan-
cellor sat in his Court at WPstminster, at eleven o'clock. His
Lordship heard appeal motions.

GOODBODY V. SUTER.
The arguments in this part-heard appeal motion were
concluded to• day, and
The LORD CHANCELLOR reserved his judgment.

ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
The Master of the Rolls sat at Westminster, to-clay, it
being the first day of Trinity Term. His Lordship took
motions.

KINDER V. LORD ASHBURTON.
This case came before his Lordship upon motion for leave
to enlarge publication to the end of the present term, the
Master having declined to make the order upon an applica-
tion for that purpose being made to him. Thecase is totally
devoid of interest except to the parties concerned.
His Lordship, in the course of the motion, inquired whe-
ther the affidavit upon which the application was made had
been filed, and upon its being stated that it was not,
as it came out of the Master's office, he observed
that he would receive no affidavit unless it
was filed. It was intolerable that the Court
should be continually put to inconvenience in consequence of
its being the interest of the Masters' clerks to keep the affi-
davits in their offices. He had had frequent occasion to
complain of the delay caused by such proceedngs, and if he
met with it again he would make an order which he
rather thought the clerks of the Masters would not
find it to their interest to disobey. He would
mentioned also for the consideration of the Masters' clerks,
and perhaps for their own interest they would take care that
it did not occur again in future, that by the orders of the
Court no report of the Masters ought to be made except upon
affidavits that were riled.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Vica -CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His HONOUR heard motions to day, but in consequence of
the absence of Mr. Stuart, who was engaged in the House
of Lords, the Court rose at an early hour. His Honour
stated, at the sitting of the Court, that he would to morrow
take cause petitions, on Monday he would hear the argu-
ments in the Tiverton School case, and after that had been
disposed ot; he would renew the hearing of cause petitions.
(Before the Vice. Chancellor limo HT BRUCE.)
His Honour heard motions to-day, but no case of interest
came before him.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGNAM.)
His Honour, after disposing of the case of Jones v. Rose,
heard motions.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
Their Lordships entered the Court in full-bottomed wigs;
the Queen's Cuunsel also wore wigs of a similar description.
After their Lordships had gone through the bar the
peremptory paper was called on.
Mr. MARTIN begged to be allowed to mention the case of
Stockdale and Benii, and Benn and Stockdale, the Learned
Counsel having on his ordinary wig at the time.
The Loan CHIEF BARON—'. Mr. Martin, I question whether
you are visible to•day."
Mr. MARTIN said that he was about to state to their Lord-
ships that he found it a considerable inconvenience to wear
the heavy full-bottomed wig.
The LORD Clingy BARON--." I fear, Mr. Martin, that you
must app ar in costume."
Mr. MArvrix—l really cannot wear these wigs, my Lord.
I am sensible of the ill effects of it for a week after.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You should bear the inconveni-
ence, on account of the increased dignity, Mr. Martin.—(A
laugh.) It may appear to you a custom more honoured in
the breach than in the observance.
Mr. MARTIN—II really does, my Lord. •
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—BLit you cannot appear without
having ordered your marriage garment.—(A laugh.)
Mr. CHAMBERS said that they had been misled by the
Judges in the Queen's Bench having come into Court in the
ordinary small wig.
Mr. Martin here bowed, and retired.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE LEMAN AND ARYAN.

An application was made in this case for the Learned
Commissioner to stay the dividend declared. The bankrupts
had carried on business as merchants in the City They had
failed to the amount of about 8,0001., 6,000/. of which was
on spurious bills accepted by Bryan in the name of the firm.
The assignees had taken the opinion of counsel, and it was
to the effect that bond fide holders of the bills were entitled
to prove, and that nothing could legally prevent their receiv-
ing the dividends, but suggested taat the Commissioner
should be applied to for his advice and opinion. The assig-
nees now wished for the dividends on those bills to be re-
tained until a decision could be obtained on a bill filed in
Chancery against the drawers of the bill, for if the money
could be obtained from them, the dividend to the bond fide
creditors would be nearly twenty shillings i❑ tue pound in-
stead of three or four.
Mr. Goodey, of Colchester, contended that the bond fide
holders ought not to be thrown upon the risk of obtaining
the money from the drawer.
After a long discussion,
The Learned ConAtISSIONER said that he had no power to
stay the dividend, and in this opinion he was confirmed by
two other Commissioners. There did not aypear to be any
reasonable ground to refuse it to the bond fide holders.
The solicitor to the assignees said they only wished to be
on the safe side ; they could not petition the Court of Review
on the subject, as they represented both classes of creditors,
with adverse interests.—The matter then dropped.

PALACE CO U.R.T.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before W. B. BRENT, Esq. )
MAKron Snorer WORK OF IT.—There were fifteen cases
set down for hearing, which were disposed of in forty minutes,
being a fraction less than three minutes for each case. There
were also upwards of fifty sammonses under the Small Debts
Act. In one case one of the officers of the court, named
herring, was the only witness, and his evidence WAS this :
a I called two or three times on defendant and asked him for
51. 7s. 6d., but he has not paid it." On his evidence a ver-
dict was given for the plaintiff.

ORGLAR v. BARTON.
This was an action brougnt to recover the sum of
111.155. 6d. for rent.
It appeared from the evidence that the action was for eight
months' rent of a house. The defendant had taken posses-
sion on the ISth of August last.
Mr. Local: said that I/. 10e. must be taken off for a debt
due to the defendant, who had commenced proceedings for
it. Plaintiff must pay the costs of them up to this time, and
would take a verdict for the difference.
Verdict for plaintiff.
In a case set down, which was said to be an ot.dinary case,
the defendant had removed it by habeas into the court above,
at the expense of 201.

tivora The ddeladeht p1w1f.,4 that &ha was tat hadebtecip

The facts were rather of a peculiar nature. It was alleged
by the evidence that in 1844 the plaintiff, who is a wholesale
dealer, had dealings with the defendant. Part of the goods
supplied were ordered by a female named Lyons, and it was
now contended that the present claim ought to have been
against her.
Mrs. Lyons was called, and proved that she was a married
woman, but that she was obliged to separate from her hus•
band, and being anxious to open a shop, got permission of
the defendant to use her name over the door, and took out
the licenses for tea, tobacco, &c., in defendant's name, and
dealt with the plaintiff ; that the plaintiff was fully aware
of the object of her going under the name of the defendant,,
in. order to protect the property against her (witness's) hus-
band, and that through fear of him she had been obliged to
remove the goods to another place.
Some doubtful evidence was tendered to show that plaintiff
had said he should hold defendant liable, but other evidence
was adduced to the contrary. The bills had been made out
" Mrs. Rogers Dr. by Mrs. Lyons."
The Learaed SECONDARY said, that the jury must dismiss
from their minds all question as to whether the plaintiff
had chosen to proceed against defendant, knowing that Mrs.
Lyons was a married woman; the question was to whom
had the credit been given, for it was quite consistent that it
had been given to Mrs. Lyons, both the plaintiff and de-
fendant out of kindness allowing the business to be osten-
sibly carried on by the defendant, though in fact it was for
Mrs. Lyons, who certainly considered herself or her husband
to be liable, and had treated the goods as her own.
The SECONDARY gave a verdict for the defendant.

NOXTX BRITISII (CARLISLE EXTENSION)•
Evidence on behalf of this line of railway was resumed.
Mr. Saull, of Burnstock, in the county off:timberland, and a justice
of peace for that district, generally agreed in the evidencs given yes-
terday by Sir James Graham. He thought the line in question would
be used to a great extent for the conveyance of coal as well as for
the transmission of sheep and cattle. The feeling in Carlisle he be-
lieved was very generally in favour of the line. Both Cumberland
and the county of Roxburgh would be benefited by a through com-
munication.

Cross-examined When the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail-
way was opened that would give a good communi-
cati ,n with Liverpool. Liverpool and Newcastle were the
great markets for fat cattle, and that line, with the Carlisle and New-
castle Railway, would give direct communications from Cumberland
to these markets. lie thought the North British Extension would
be mainly beneficial in bringing lean stock to Carlisle and Cumber-
land. There were large fairs in Roxburglishire, from which sheep
and cattle were brought for Cumberland. There was a large fair at
Langholm„ and another at Moss Paul, from which sheep would, he
thought, be brought in large rumbers.
Mr. Robert Cowen, a consulting engineer, residing in Carlisle, de-
posed that the opening of the line would be highly beneficial on
account of the deficient supply of coal at present at Carlisle. The
opening of the Newcastle line had been of great benefit in reducing
the price of coal and in increasing the manufacturing power,
and the same results would, he thought, follow tie open-
ing of the present line. He thought 40,000 tons of Canebie coal
would be brought to Carlisle, and that this coal would go as far
south as Kendal, and compete with the Wigan coal.
Cross-examined—There were about 60,000 tons of coal annually
consumed in Carlisle, of which, about 20,000 he thought would be
the produce of Canobie. He thought other 20,000 would be exported.
The exports from Carlisle would take place in small vessels ; those
from Annan in large vessels. The 20,000 he believed would all go
down the canal and be exported from the port of Carlisle. He ex-
pected small vessels would come up the canal and take the coals for
reland. He was not aware that the rates were very high.
