MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 b4les, comprising 3,500 American, 300
Pernana and Maranham at 74d. to 80., 200 Bahia at
71d. to Bed., 400 Egyptian at 7t4. to 9d., and 500 Surat
at 4id. to sid. per lb. The market was steady at pre-
vious rates, except tor common Egyptian, which were
id. per lb. higher.—Railway Shares were firm, and
prices had an upward tendency.
In the Produce Markets business has been restricted
this week, and few are disposed to operate until they
ascertain whether the Budget will interfere with them.
It is stated that owing to the high price of Tobacco, the
dealers are making purchases of very inferior qualities,
especially in Kentucky. Competition, however, and the
ability of the large manufacturers to produce cheaper
than others, has compelled some of their smaller rivals
to endeavour to compensate themselves for the high
price of the raw material, by buying the lowest descrip-
tions or discontinue working. Sugar and Coffee have
been dull, but Tea brisker this week.
Mr. William Short reports of the metal trade that—

" The market during the past month has been charac-
terised by general flatness in all descriptions of Metals
(with the exception of Rails), and a disposition to ac-
cept offers even below nominal rates. In Rails a consi-
derable business has been done, at from 41. 17s. up to
51. 2s. 6d. per ton in Wales."
There are later accounts from Brazil, which advise
more activity in exports, Sugar especially, but notice no
change of moment in imports.
We are still without any news of the West India
steamer that is to bring the Mexican mail.

The amount of the remittances by the East India
Company to the different presidencies has been a full
average, and the exchange is expected to continue high
for the present.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the sth instant was
dull, but Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. remained
at about the previous rates, viz., 57i to 7-16. Spanish
Bonds were lather lower, but Mexican were in demand
at an advence.

Much satisfaetion is expressed in the City at the ap-
proval by Lord Brougham and Lord Overstone of the
efforts now making,to.establish Tribunals of Commerce.
Backed by such high authorities, legal and monetary,
there is every encouragement to persevere. Oae of our
most wealthy merchants, Richard Thornton, Esq., has
lately given in his strong adherence to the principle of
arbitration as proposed now to be carried out.

The English Funds have been again inactive, and the
" spurt "of yesterday has gone off. Consols are 96i

Railway Shares have been brisk, and in several in-

VICE-CHANCERY,--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Vice-Chancellor Lord CRANWORTH.)
METAIRIE V. CARDINAL WISEMAN.
The arguments in this part-heard motion for an in-
junction, the facts of which we have already given, were
resumed this morning, and occupied the Court the whole
day. From the immense mass of affidavits, and the
number of counsel employed, it is not unlikely that the
case will occupy the Court for three or four days to
come.

CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS and Sir CHAPMAN

MARSHALL.)
TVIIBERY FROM THE PERSON.—A young man named
James Harding, aged 22, described as a tailor, was in-
dicted for having cAnrnitted a robbery with violence on
Mrs. Frances Mills, and stealing from her a bag and
other articles, value Be., and moneys value 12s. 3d., the
goods and moneys of Mr. William Mills, her husband.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Ballantine prosecuted; and Mr. Payne, with whom
was Mr. Neagle, defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidonee, that on Tuesday ever.
ing, the 4th of February, Mrs. Mills was pareh3sing
some smell wares at a shop in nigh-street, Canicter.
town, at a time when the prisoner was bargaining for
some alpacas. The prisoner eyed her closely, and ob-
served her take a purse out or her pocket is pay for

the articles she had purchased. Thiscircemstanceexcited
the suspicions of Mrs. Mills, and it would seem not
without reason, for directly she got outside the shop
the prisoner ran up against her and snatching the
parse from her hand took to his heels. She pur-
sued him and called out " Stop thief "
but it was all to no purpose, as he managed to get far
away ahead of her, and to escape down a court, leadivg
out of York-street, Camden-town, where she lost sight
of him. She, however, gave information to the police,
describing his person as closely as she could, and in the
course of a week he was arrested in a coffee-house, a few
yards from the smallware shop in High-street. kle
denied all knowledge of the robbery, and protested that
he had not been to the shop on the Tuesday previous,
but he was first taken to the shop, where the shoptaau
recognised him as the man whom he served at the
time Mrs. Mills was present, and then to the lady's
residence in Georgiana-street, when she at once
and without hesitation, identified him as the thief. It
should be mentioned on cross-examination Mrs. Mills
admitted that on the night of the robbery
she mistook
greengrocer's lad for the offender, and gave him int';
custody, but on investigation it turned out to be a sad
mistake, and the lad was of course liberated. It los
dark when the robbery was committed, but chills
was a " young moon" up at the time, and Mrs. Sills
was thus enabled to see the features of the thief, whom
she had no doubt whatever was the prisoner at the bar:
