COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoot. I Bhr.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhi-
bited a dull appearance, and closed quietly. The
sales amounted to 5,000 bales, of which 500 were
taken by the exporters and 500 by the speculators.
The Railway Share Market closed steadily, but
without animation.
The weekly Return of the Bank of England, com-
pleted to the 15th inst., is much more satisfactory
than was anticipated, and an examination of its
various features fails to explain the cause which in-
duced the directors to enhance their terms of dis-
count last Thursday week. There is a material
increase in the private deposits, the reserve of
notes, and the bullion, and the only unfavourable
feature is the augmentation in the "private securi-
ties," which is counteracted by the improve-
ments noticed in the other departments of the
balance sheet. Probably on the face of this return
the commercial community will condemn the policy
pursued by the Court, but no doubt the equalisa-
tion of the terms was dictated by prudence, espe-
cially as during two or three days preceding the
change some very unfavourable symptoms were
exhibited. The next statement is likely to be still
more satisfactory, because 70,000/. of the gold
brought by the Lightning has already been de-
posited in Threadneedle-street. It is also probable
that a portion of the remittance per the
James Baines will remain in this country,
but the export demand continues active,
and orders have recently been received for large
purchases on continental account. The inquiry
for discount is less active than it was, and, encou-
raged by this circumstance, the improved Bank
return, and the confident tone of the Paris advices, Bt.
many are of opinion that permanent relief will soon 3
20
be experienced in the discount market. Taking a
Ili
comprehensive view, however, of all the causes
St.
confessed are likely to exercise an influence, it must be
21;
confessed that there is no just reason for autici- 10
gating any diminution in the official terms' until 124
the new year. The Omar Pasha has brought 25
2,000 sovereigns from Australia, and as several 25
other vessels are known to be on their way from
37t2
the same quarter with small supplies, it is hoped dip'
that the stock of bullion in the national establish- 10
merit will soon show a material addition. The
following table exhibits the particulars of the offi-
cial return :-

The Funds have advanced fully per cent., I
owing to the favourable complexion of the Bank
of England return, which has stimulated increased 1,1
purchasers. There is very little activity, but a S

THR MURRAY NAVIGATION.—The advice from Ade.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell and Justices

Coleridge and Erle.)
THE NEW CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE COMMON PLEAS.
Their lordships were accompanied on the bene'l this
morning by Sir A. Cockburn, the Lew Chief Justice of
the Court of Common Pleas, to take the oaths of alle•
giance, abjuration, and supremacy. The oaths were
administered by the senior master present, and the roll
having been subscribed by his lordship, he bowed to the
bar and retired to take his seat in the Common Pleas.

THE COLONY OF VICTORIA.

SMART •. THE CORPORATION OF SUNDERLAND.
This was an application by Mr. Manisty on the part
of Mr. Smart, an attorney, and formerly town-clerk of
Sunderland, fot"a mandamus calling upon the corpora-
tion to award him compensation for the loss of such
office under the Sunderland Improvement Act, which
came into operation in 1851. An offer was made to Mr.
Arnot at the time of an office under the act, of equal
amount to that of which he bad been deprived, viz.,
treasurer, at a salary of 701. ; but he refused it, finding
the duties were more extensive and the situation more
onerous, and that the emoluments were less than hi
former office, and now called on the corporation to award
him compensation.

The Court refused the rule, on the ground that the
applicant bad allowed five years to elapse before making
this application.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
THE NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
In consequence of its being known that Sir A. Cock-
burn would for the first time take his seat this morning
in the Court of Common Pleas, as Lord Chief Justice,
the Court was densely crowded, and the bar filled with
counsel. His lordship entered the Court with Mr.
Justice Cresswell, and Mr. Justice Crowder, about
half-past 10 o'clock, when Mr. Meredith, one of the
masters of the Court, administered the oaths of allegiance,
al juration, and supremacy to his lordship, the judges
and the whole of the bar standing during the ceremony.
His lordship having subscribed the oaths bowed to th•
bar and took his seat calling upon Brother Channel ana
other learned brothers to move, but as they had nothing

The interval that has elapsed since our last summary
has been short, but the celebrity which the Royal Mail
ship Lightning has attained as the champion of the Liver.
pool liners induces us to issue a brief recital of the
events of the past fortnight for transmission to Europe.

Mr. Sergeant Thomas, who was counsel in the last
case tried before the late Lord Chief Justice, rose and
made the first motion before the new Lord Chief Justice,
that of

which it is expected will reach 10,000/., and the stone
for the building is now being quarried. Another firm
purposes to expend 5,0001. on the erection of a fine
building."
