RANDELL U. WOOD.

Sir FREDERICK TIIESIGER moved for a rule calling
'upon Mr. Wood, an attorney of this court, to show
cause why he refused to refund f9l which lie had re-
ceived as the attorney of Mr. Randell. The money
Was the proceeds of an action which Mr. Randell had
successfully prosecuted against the Sheriffs of Middle-
sex, but at the time it was received by Mr. Wood, his
Attorney, he was upon the Continent. Since his return
"he had discovered that Mr. Wood had applied for relief
under the Insolvent Debtor's Act, and had scheduled th•
69/. as a debt due to Mr. Randell, acting no doubt upon
the strength of a decision of the Court of Queen's
Bench, that where an attorney became bankrupt a client
could not recover money which he might have received
in his capacity of attorney, but in the case of an insol-
vent that rule did not apply, and bonne the present appli-
cation.•—Rule nisi.

NATIONAL

ASSEMBLY.

The del (THIS DAY.)
_egates met this morniug at the usual hour.
thti gelegates from the several towns having given in
brr.rtp.orta of the state of feeling of their constituents,
tresup,j"Jousu. moved that the adoption of a pro
to 'be "of business should be prepared by a committee,
tiaPoi pirated for that purpose.
ould pribieb moved, as an amendment, that the Assembly
sider the best means in the pro with the consideration of the first point
gramme already drawn up, which was to con-
to of modelling the movement so as
ensure the Charter being made the law of the land.
, the
discussion, a delegate moved, as a further
muTnument, that before they proceeded with any other
'Pet, they ought to consider the best means of pre-
kating the memorial to the Queen.
Mr. KIDD withdrew his amendment, and
_ Mr. E. JONES moved another amendment, to the effect
'that the programme should consist only of subjects for
eliscussion as to the best means of making the Charter
'the law of the land.
A. state of considerable confusion arose upon the
various amendments before the meeting, as each of the
delegates claimed the right to speak to every amend-
ment.
Mr. Councillor Bitracie supported the amendment for
confining the discussion to the best means of obtaining
the People's Charter, and not to enter into the great
questions set down in the programme. With respect to
aristocracy, he believed that there was as much of aria.
tocracy among the working classes. as could be found in
any other class, and he believed that such aristocracy
was of the worst kind. With respect to those gentlemen
who spoke so much and loudly about guns, pikes, and
muskets, ho thought the best thing they could do would
be to take a spade and fall out with some common.
The following was the prograintne upon which the
discussion took place, and the questions upon which the
decision of the Assembly was to be sought, with a view
of enlightening the minds of the people of this country,
and, as one of the delegates stated, of laying down some
line of policy to be pursued by the country on these
subjects after the Charter had become the law of the
Reports from delegates on the state of the country.
Means of enabling the Assembly to give renewed
vigour to the movement.

MONEY and COM:11 14:A{CIA.E. NEWS-
CITY, (VAR I r.
The Cotton Mai ket at. Liverpool yesterday was very
firm. Sales 4 000 to 5,000 bales. American reelised
!. to 5,1. per lb. American qualities ender 4id. per
lb. were fully id. per lb. higher. There was not a good
supply. In Railway Shares there was a considerable
improvement. They closed firmly at the advanced rates.
The brilliant weather has caused the grain trade to
rule heavy to-day, and Monday's rates are barely sup-
ported. The arrivals in Mark-lane to-day include
1.630 quarters of English, and 6,110 quarters of foreign
Wheat. Of Irish Oats the quantity received is
4,310 quarters.
The home demand for manufactures is improving,
and there are expected to be better purchasea on foreign
account.
The following are interesting particulars of the
Manchester market, as furnished by Messrs. Ferguson
and Taylor :
" The influx of natives and strangers from the Con-
tinent has contributed to swell the demand for the
superior descriptions of printed and woven fancy cotton
and mixed stuffs. IVe regret that the foreign demand
has not afforded an opportunity for so favourable a
comment. Since our last there has been little improve-
ment in the demand for any of the great European
markets, and the stocks of the staple articles prepared
for those quarters have continued to accumulate in bulk,
whilst they have been subjected to a relative de.
crease in their market value. The demand for
the German markets may be considered as
almost entirely suspended, and this business con.
stitutes a most important feature in the trade of
this district. For the Levant there has been a little
more doing, but the extent of the operations bears only
a small proportion to the usual scale, owing to the diffi-
culties of remitting and realising remunerative proceeds
on the produce of Turkey, &c., consigned to some of
the Continental ports for sale. A fair demand has pre-
vailed for the more limited markets of Gibraltar and the
Peninsula. There has been much less doing for the
United States than was expected, and the Canadian
business this season shows a very considerable falling
off. For Mexico there have been some considerable
shipments of yarns, printed cottons, &c., &c., made
in anticipation of the re-imposition of the old
tariff immediately following the ratification of the
treaty of peace between that country and the United
States. These supplies, however, are inconsiderable
when compared with the extent of the market to which
they are consigned. We have experienced little im-
provement in demand for the West Indies, but we are
glad to find the prospects of those colonies are not
deemed to be altogether hopeless yet."
The same parties continue their remarks by stating
that not much is doing for Brazil or the west coast, but
that a bet ter business is expected for India and China.
We understand that there is more inquiry fur
produce to-day, with the view to cash, not speculative,
purchases.

Not much attention has been paid this morning to the
foreign aosices, the fine weather and better accounts
irom Ireland superseding every other consideration.
Tne onward progress of prices in the Consol Market
has again been v, ry divided. The demand fur money
stock is now the main support of the market, as specu-
lators are becoming shy, and the French Funds come
lower. No doubt the closing of Bear accounts has had
much to do with the rapid advance, and it remains to be
seen whether the operators have nerve and resources to
sell again. Consols have ranged from 831 to
84k for transfer, and from 834 to 84. The New Three-
and a-Quarter per Cents have been 83k to k, and the
Three per Cents. 82} to 821. Bunk Stock has been
firm at 190. South Sea Stock, 90} to 914.
The Foreign Securities are still very buoyant. Spa-
nish Active Bonds have been 131 to ; and the Three
per Cents. 231. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
realised 181 to 1. Mexican stock has been quoted 16i
to 17. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 44 to 441
The English Railway Shares have all advanced, and
the public continue buyers. French are flat.

BOROUGH OF STAMFORD.
Mr. P. WOOD stated that it was his intention, on
the order of the day for going into Conimittee of
Supply, to move for the appoinstnerit of a Select
Committee, to inquire into the allegations contained
in the petition of certain electors and inhabitants of
the borough of Stamford, which was presented upon
the 14th day of March last, complaining of the inter-
ference of the Marquis of Exeter, a Peer of the
realm, and Lord-Lieutenant of the county of North-
ampton, at the late and former elections of Members
to serve for the said borough.
THE LATE SERGEANT-AT-ARMS.
Sir GEORGE GREY stated, on behalf of Lord
John Russell, that it was his intention to make the
following motion to-morrow before the other orders
of the day :—" That this House entertains a just
sense of the zeal and ability with which the late Sir
14 illiam Gossett uniformly discharged the duties of
the office of Serjeant-at-Arms, during the period of
his attendance upon this House."
MR. SMITH, O'BRIEN AND THE EMUTE

AT LIMERICK.
Mr. HAMILTON wished to know from the
Secretary of State for the Home Department,
whether he had received any official account of what
was stated and commented upon in the daily news-
papers of that day, of a moral demonstration in the
city of Limerick—of an entente of the moral force
party in that city against the physical force party,
and that in that emente Messrs. Meagher and O'Brien
had been obliged to seek protection from her Ma-
jesty's forces and the police ?
Sir G. GREY had received a letter from the
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, which in substance con-
firmed the statement the Hon Member had alluded to.
A meeting was held in the county of Lime-
rick, at which considerable violence had taken place,
and it was in consequence of the interference of the
military and police that the security of Mr. Smith
O'Brien and Mr. Meagher was accomplished.
STATE TRIALS (IRELAND).
Mr. HAMILTON, seeing the Secretary for 'lre-
land in his place, wished to know whether it. was
true that Mr. Mitchell, of the United Irishman, had
put in dilatory pleas which would have the effect of
suspending the proceedings against him for some con-
siderable time ?

Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that it was true that
Mr. Mitchell had put in such pleas, but he hoped
that it would be found that those pleas would not have
the effect of delaying the proceedings.—(Hear )
MAKING NO HOUSE YESTERDAY.
Mr. HUME, in reference to there being no House
made yesterday, stated that he trusted the Govern-
ment would adopt some course in future by which a
House would be secured on that day on which alone
Members who had notices of motion could bring
them on. Members had now given up one motion
day for the convenience of the Government, and he
thought it their quty to secure them that day. Yes-
terday- there were several most important notices of
motion—especially one of the lion. and Learned
Member for Oxford--but, in consequence of there
being no Mouse, they could not be brought forward.
Sir G. GREY had come down to the House at
half-past four o'clock, fully expecting that it was
sitting, and was extremely surprised to find that it
was nut. It was no fault of the Government that no
House was made yesterday.
Mr. G. BERKELEY, in moving that the House
should now adjourn, stated his belief that the House
had purposely not been made yesterday in conse-
quence of the motion of the Honourable Member for
Oxford being calculated to bring to light the acts of
a Noble Duke.
Mr. P. WOOD, in seconding the motion for the
adjournment, also expressed his belief that a certain
party in that House had purposely prevented the
House being made, in order that he might not bring
for Ward his motion. That motion was one of great
importance to all parties concerned, and it being
so he had considered it to be his duty to bring it
forward at the earliest possible moment.
Mr. HERRIES denied that there was any at-
tempt on the behalf of the party with which he was
associated in that House, to prevent a House being
made yesterday. Ile was sure the Noble Duke who
had been alluded to had no fear of the statements
that might be made in bringing forward the motion,
or the result of it.

to do t=o then, but he would consult his Noble Friend
at the head of the Government on the subject, and
if possible a day should be st t apart for discussing
the motion.—(Hear, hear )

Colonel SIBTHORP said he had a right to ask
where the members of the Government were yester-
day ? They were paid enough for doing their work,
and had subordinates enough to represent them in
that House. How was it, then, that none of th-in
were in their places yesterday ? It appeared to him,
that Government took care that no House should be
made, in order that the motion of the Hon. and
Learned Member for Oxford, and the question of the
lion. Member for Stafford, should be quietly got rid of.
Sir G. GREY said he was engaged in the busines
of his office up till nearly half-past four o'clock yes-
terday; but he should have been down at the usual
hour of five had he not been informed that there was
no House.—(Hear, hear.) His absence, however, was
not singular, for he understood that not only the
Hon. Member for Staffordshire, but the lion. Mem-
ber for Oxford, was not in his place at the opening of
the House yesterday. The truth was, however,
that the House not being made could be traced to a
very natural cause. Yesterday was only the second
sitting after the holidays, and no doubt many Hon.
Gentlemen, who were generally speaking the earliest
in attendance, had not yet returned to town. At all
unfortunately,n a nights.
Ha
events he must protest against wholesale charges
being made against her Majesty's Government that
they were every now and then anxious to shirk the
consideration of questions. Government had no such
desire, and he hoped Hon. Members would refrain
Government from indulging in these unpleasant insinuations.
Mr. HORSMAN said the time had arrived when
it was imperatively necessary that Government should
_e

house
Sir G. GREY—I deny that.
Mr. HORSMAN said, be that as it might, some
understanding ought to be come to on this subject,
and he hoped that the House, now that it had given
up every night but one, would take care that that one
was always secured to them.
Sir G. GREY said it was not the duty of Govern-
ment, but of those Members who had motions on the
paper to secure a House on this particular night.
Now the House would remember that scarcel
Hon. Gentleman who had a notice on the Paper
any
terday was present in his place, and it was too bad
that Government should be charged with

to systematic plans to prevent. a House being made.

Sir T. BIRCH protested against its being - '

The two first heats were each won by a neck, and the
third easily.
lip to the present time, nothing has occurred to shake
the opinion so generally expressed that this will be one
of the best meetings ever held at Chester. The weather
is favourable in the extreme, the Course in better order
than has been known for many years, the stables full of
horses, and the city full of company.
The actual number of starters for the Cup cannot, of
course, be ascertained, but no one talks of less than 35,
anti some calculate upon as many as 40; in either event
three ranks will be necessary, and thus the contingencies
incident to a narrow course will be materially increased.
Fortunate will he be who sees his favourite in the first
flight.We subjoin the betting up to two o'clock this
afternoon.
