AIONE-f and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, (PARTE!? TO 7'>' A.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
heavy. Sales about 4.000 bales, including 500 for ex-
portation. Railway Shares were much the same as
previously, being dull.
Both Spain and Portugal appear jest now to engage
the attention of the British Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
financially. the one politically however, the other The
Lisbon mail, arrived yesterday afternoon, informs
US of the fact of our Envoy at that Court having made
urgent representations on behalf of the unfortunate
foreign creditors who -remain unpaid their last dividend,
and who have not even the poor consolation afforded
them of any effort having been made to raise the amount
required. Indeed we are even told that the Govern-
ment of Donna Maria, prodigal as it may be of its funds
for purposes of intrigue, despairs of possessing the means
to meet the fair claims of the bondholders, and conse-
quently purposes to capitalise the coupons; and this,
atter years of suffering, tinkering, conversion, and cou.
&cation. However, the resources of Donna Maria
have been so drawn upon lately to support herself upon
her unpopular throne, that we cannot feel surprised at
the present inability, and whatever promises may be
made, we sincerely hope that the bondholders will not
allow thamselyes to be elated by delusive hopes. They
may obtain something, but if that something consist
wholly of vapor, and not in part of cash, we would give
them but little for their chance.
The Belgian Government, it appears, are so satisfied
with the ready acceptation by the public of the first
authorised issue of inconvertible notes, or bank paper
having the force of legal tender, that another project of
law is, as stated in one of the papers, about to be laid
before the Chambers, for empowering the Bank of the
Seciete Generale to issue to the extent of twenty
millions of franca more. The fact is, however,
doubted by the Antwerp Journal du Commerce;
or rather the announcement considered to be premature.
Previous to such a measure the Government had ap-
pointed a committee to examine and report upon the
situation of the Societe Generale.
The favourable nature of the intelligence about the
elt-ctions from Paris this morning, with the rise of the
rentes there consequent, has improved the Funds here
which yesterday were so much depressed. We have
Consols now at 821 to I for money and account; Re-
duced, 80i to i; Three-and-a Quarter per Cents., 811 to
it Exchequer- bills, 40a. to 435. premium. Bank Stock,

We have some improvement also in Foreign Stocks.

We have a fair market for Shares this morning, with
prices better for some lines, such as Brightons and
Caledonians. It is, however, ticket day, or probably the
transactions would haves been more extensive, if no
prices generally higher.

CHANCEatty._(THis DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in his court at Westminster
to-day shortly before eleven o'clock.
The hearing of the appeal motions of "Blenkinsop r.
Blenkinsop" and " Holden r. the North-Western Rail-
way" were postponed Oh the application of counsel, after
which his Lordship proceeded to hear appeals.

(VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat in
his court at Westminster to-day and heard motions.
WRITING LETTERS TO A JUDGE.
His HONOUR, upon taking his seat, said that, before
he ;;are judgment in the case that stood upon the paper,
(" Higgenson v. Shand") he was led to state to the bar
that, on going out of the court yesterday, he had re-
ceived there, by post, a letter
signed "A Suitor," which be
would read. He had had some considerable difficulty in
decyphering it, and had made a fair copy of it himself,
in order that he might read it more easily to the Bar.
His HONOUR then read the letter, which was as fol.
lows:—

poor neglected suitors " London, April U, 1848.
" May it please your Honour to have pity on your
over, to hurry on the many causes which yet remain for
your decision. Let not the lazy Counsel impose on
your patience, and that prosy Mr. Bethel' exhaust the
; and now that the holidays are
time of the public. Let the future atone for the past.
" Your very humble servant,
" A SUITOR."
As the letter was an attack both upon Counsel and
himself, he had thought it his duty to read it openly in
Court.

HIGGENSON u. SHAND.—JUDGMENT.
His HONOUR gave judgment in this case, which our
readers will recollect came before the Court a short time
since, upon motion to dissolve an injunction, granted
ex parte, restraining the Royal Bank of Liverpool from
taking proceedings
against the plaintiff, to recover the
sum of 60,000/. His Honour, after going at some
length into the case, stated his opinion to be that the
injunction should be continued, and the question with
respect to the costs reserved. •
The Master of the Rolls did not sit, in consequence of
indisposition, and nothing of any interest occurred in
the Courts of the Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce and
Wigram.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
The members of the Grand Jury for the present
term were sworn this morning before Chief Justice
Pat tison.

The Learned JUDGE in explaining to them the nature
of the duties they were called upon to discharge, al-
luded to the recent excitement in the metropolis in con-
sequence of the large meetings that have taken place.
He said at all times large public meetings were fraught
with danger, or at least caused much excitement
and app, ehension In the public mind, but political
meetings were more than ordinarily dangerous,
as they not unfrequently disturbed the peace,
and the parties who attended them often did
so in ignorance of the danger in which they placed
themselves in consequence of the results that might
ensue. The gentlemen, whom he was addressing were
no doubt aware (in fact every one was cognisant of the
fact) of the memorable instance of the preservation of
the peace by a great number of the loyal subjects of the
Crown on the 10th of the present month. On that day
the citizens of this great metropolis, to their credit be it
stated, came forward to assist the ordinary preservers of
the peace in keeping order, and for the purpose of pro-
tecting their property and that of their neighbours.
Never, perhaps, ►n the history of this or any other
country, had such a desire been manifested•by the subjects '
of the realm to protect peace and property. This was
the more remarkable, and the more praiseworthy., as it
took place at a time when other countries were dis-
tracted by internal commotion. The arrangements for
the preservation of the peace on the day to which he
referred were most praiseworthy, for they were the
means of preserving the peaceably disposed portion
of the people from the greatest danger. It
had been stated that the precautions taken
by the Government were quite unnecessary. Probably
this might be so, but if they had not been made and
danger had ensued they would have been b!amed. In his
opinion the Government acted properly, and therefore
he looked upon a statement to the contrary as a gratuit-
ous assertion; he thought he could not enforce his
opinion better than by referring to a passage in " Cook's
Voyage Round the World," in which it was stated that
preventive measures were the most meritorious; but it
often occurred when they were adopted, and it was
not found necessary to enforce them, that injudicious
persons always condemned them. lie had thought it
right to make these observations fro:n that seat of
justice in order that publicity might be given to them.
The jury were then remitted to their duties.

BAIL COURT.--(THis DAY.)
(Sittings in banco, before Mr. Justice FATTISON.)
EX PARTE LEWIS.
Mr. PETERSDORFF moved for a rule for a writ to re-
move the proceedings of an inquisition from the court
of the coroner into this Court. Some short time ago an
individual was found drowned in the Medway,
and the
Coroner of Kent believing that the death occurred with-
in his jurisdiction summoned a jury and held an inquest.
He had previously received notice from Mr. Lewis, one
of the deputy coroner's of the Admiralty for the Ro-
chester district, that under the existing law bodies found
in the Medway did not come within the jurisdiction of
the county coroner, but under that of the Admiralty, and
the present motion was made with the view of having
the disputed point decided by the Court.

SHERIFFS' COURT-(T
LL.)
DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BlEcnL.)
There were only two cases in the list, and one of those
was struck out.

BOULTER V. ALAND.
This was an action to recover the sum of 9/. is. 6d.
for plumber's work, &c.
The plaintiff pleaded that he was not indebted.
The plaintiff is a plumber, &c., at Slough, and the
defendant is a gentleman, the owner of several cottages,
&c., in the same place. The work was done under the
direction of a person named Prentis, who received the
rents, and otherwise acted as agent for the defendant.
Prentis was bankrupt a short time since, and put the
plaintiff in his balance-sheet for the amount now claimed,
but the claim was repudiated by the official assignee,
who, on the contrary, required the plaintiff to pay a ba-
lance on an account between plaintiff and Prentis.
For the plaintiff evidence was adduced to show that
Prentis let the premises on behalf of defendant, and on a
dispute arising with one of the tenants, the defendant
wrote to the latter, adopting the agreement, and saying
that Prentis was his whole and sole agent, and defendant

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
William Jones, a cab-driver, was convicted of furious
driving, and endangering the life of his passenger, Mr.
Cole. Ile was fined twenty shillings, and the cab was
taken to the Greenyard.
The defendant's master applied to Mr. Cole for his
fare from Greenwich to Kent•street, four miles.
Mr. SECKER said the complainant was not liable for
the fare, for had his neck been broken by the defen-
dant's furious :and improper driving, what recompense
then could he have. The Magistrate then advised the
complainant not to pay the fare• for if the proprietor of
a cab engaged a fellow like the defendant fur his driver,
he must take the consequences of his conduct. The
owner roust also pay the expenses incurred at the
Greenyard.

Miss AUGUSTA PURCELL'S CONCERT.—Last evening
Miss A. Purcell, a young lady new to the musical
world, gave her first annual concert at the Princess's
Concert rooms. She has a mezzo-soprano voice of con-
siderable sweetness, which has evidently been well culti-
vated. The programme comprised a good variety of
vocal and instrumental music. She was very much ap-
plauded in the Romanza "II Pensieroso" (Giacinto
Marras), and in the recitative and air, " Love, art thou
true ?" (Rooke). Miss Sara Flower was encored in
" Quando quell' nom quell' unnico" (Nini), and " The
Swiss Girl" (G. Linley). A similar honour was paid to
Mr. Collins for his performance on the violin of the
" Carnival de Venise" (Paganini), and Mr. Sydney
Pratter for his fantasia on the flute. The room was well
attended.

WORKS IN CHESTER CATHEDRAL.—A. correspon-
dent of the Builder, writing from Chester on the works
which have been going on for some time past in the
cathedral, says the choir has been restored and re-
arranged ; the ceiling, which had never been finished,
has been groined ; the old sittings have been replaced
with substantial oak fittings, with solid bench ends; the
unsightly galleries which disfigured the choir have all
been swept away ; the floors have been relaid, partly
with black and white marble, and partly with slate and
Hopton-wood stone. The floor round the altar has also
been laid with slate and Hopton stone, in the form of a
Maltese cross. There has also been added an altar rail
of oak; and a new stone screen (the gift of the Rev. W.
P. Hamilton) has been placed between the altar and St.
Mary's Chapel. The bishop's throne, which was so
mutilated that it was difficult to decide what it had been
originally, has been restored at the expense of the Re!:
Canon Slade. The pulpit, the gift of Sir Edward S.
Walker, of Chester, was designed by 3,1 r. C.deHtacashseeyd:
It is in the decorated style, and stands,
