MONEY and COAIMEItCI AL NEWS'

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK•

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es'
timated at 4,000 bales, comprising 2.
.500 American, 200
Pernam arid Maranham, at 84d. to Sid. ; 100 Bahia, 14
Std. ; 250 Egyptian,at Sid. to 9id. ; and 600 Surat, 11,!
sd. to 6d. per lb. The market closed heavily, with
prices in favour of buyers.—Railway Shares were flat.
The following is from Schroeder and Masai*
dated the 21st ult., from New Orleans :
"Our last report, of 7th inst., left the Cotton Market
in a
,quiet position, which 'soon after changed into
dull and drooping one, owing to unsatisfactory accounts
from abroad. But although purchasers made great
efforts to buy at lower figures, they succeeded only In
obtaining small concessions, and factors maintained
their position better than could have been expected
under the circumstances ; however, the intelligence
brought out by the steamer of the 30th ult., reporting
another decline of id. to id. in the Liverpool market, and
warlike news from Germany, proved too much for these,
and brought the market to a complete stand still.
" The second week opened under the influence of these
unsatisfactory accotints, and the dull and unsettled state
of the market still more increased by advices of e
material declinine in New York, and the receipt at the
same time of abundant supplies. The result of these,
combined untoward circumstances has been a decline Of
lc. to ic. during the last week, the greatest reduction
being on the middling descriptions, which just now are
most abundant. But even at this material decline there
is no general demand, and buyers appear inclined to bola
off until later accounts have been received. The business
of the week, therefore, does not amount to over 18,200
bales, mostly taken for Spain, the continent of Europe,
and the North. Buyers for England have operated to
but a limited extent.
" The news by the steamer of the 7th inst., now due
by telegraph, is anxiously looked for, and it is believed
that the tenor of the same will have a
great influence, e°
our market. Should the accounts be again unfavourable,prices are likely to decline still further; whilst on the
other hand, they will probably rally, if the present er
prehensions for disturbances in Germany should pr°!
groundless. The general estimates of the crops run frew
2,100,000 to 2,200,000 bales.
"Prices of Coffee have experienced a slight ativeoes
since our last, and the demand for the West being rel
animated, large sales have been made at 10ic., at whle
rate importers are ready sellers. For small racep,
101 c. is obtained. The direct imports during the for
two weeks are the following, viz : 3,960 sacks, Pit
Donna Theteza, 4,700 do. per Grey Eagle, 5,650; Pe;
Maryland, and 3,650 per Sumatra, together 17.9,6.
sacks. Although the receipts have been much hotel"
than last year, and the stock on sale is ample, the gene'
ral opinion remains in favour of the article.
" Nothing of importance has transpired in the tobecF°_
market during the last fortnight, there appearing to it
no orders which could be executed at our present big'
scale of prices. The transactions are, consequently, "
a moderate extent, and limited to the purchases of re#
fused,' made for the Spanish contract. Very low
fused' and factory lugs are being sought after for tw-
purpose, at prices ranging from 7c. to Bc.
" Of new crop tobacco ten hhds. have lately coin° t°
hand, being the first receipts this season, which is
usually late in comparison with other years. The qua:
lity of this new tobacco is very indifferent, the leaf bele*
thin and papery, and of undecided colour."

In Railroad Shares the dealings have been of no ign"

mote
upon the particular course of speculation in different
lines, than upon any general alteration. North-Westerls
are good, Great Western better, and also South-Easterei
Oxford, and Wolverhampton heavy, Great-Northeto
rather depressed, York and Berwick higher, Cdledonisq
dull, and Newmarket cheaper. Eastern Counties and_
North-Stafford are heavy. Foreign Railways are •
little firmer, and East Indian have risen.
The "continuation" on shares is by no means so,
onerous as on former occasions, showing that a safer Oa
quieter business is doing, with less speculation.

fully cognisant of the whole trans:A:6,la, and before the
trial closed the jury would be convinced that the note
had been fairly and legally negotiated.
Mr. Dillon was called to prove that Ma Russell was a
party to the note. In -September last he was the
publisher of the Weekly Chronicle, and in the course
of his duty he . inforined Mr. Russell thet 75/.
was due to a Mr. George, as rent of the
premises in the Strand. Mr. Ruseell promised to make
provision for this debt, but subsequently he refused to
do so unless Mr. Doyle, his partner, inserted in the paper
an article which had been written by Mr. Seymour,
a barrister. Mr. Doyle, however, declined to let the
article appear, and as the landlord was prcrsieg for his
rent, and Mr. Russell had failed to bring forth his
promised funds, Mr. Doyle 'drew the note- in question
for 851., which was given to Mr. Jacquet, the tavern-
keeper of Clare-market, in consideration of 751. money
advanced, and 101., the price of come refreshments which
had been supplied to the Weekly Chronicle establist.-
ment. This note was shown to Mr. Russell previously
to its being handed to Mr. Jacquet, and he saw that it
had been drawn by Mr. Do) le tor self and p atner, and
after it reached Mr. Jacquet's hand he personally
thanked that gentleman for having accommcdated the
firm, and expressed a hope that the eceourta would
shortly come In and enable them to refund the 75l
Cross-examined—Witness was not uwere that the
partnership' agreement provided that no one but Mr.
Russell was to draw bills or notes in the name of the
firm. Mr. Doyle had to his knowledge drawn two other
bills on behalf of the firm. Witness was an uncertifi-
ceded bankrupt,,,buhhe was making an arrangement with
his creditors, and hoped ultimwely he should be able to
pay 20s. in the pound. Hitherto, however, he had not
paid any thine, nor did he bring any reedy money into
the Weekly Chronicle establishment, although he was
admitCd a partner at the instance of a Mr. Dimphey.
The benkia: account of the firm was entered in the
name of Mr. Ru;eell, but Mr. Doyle, he believed, brought
3001. into the specOlation; and if notes which had
been accepted in witness's name, on security of wit•
ness's wile's 'property could be considered as cash, he
had advanced money to a similar extent. The bills
which he had already referred to as having been signed
by Doyle in the name of the firm, wore drawn since the
attempt was' made to declare him a bankrupt. Pre-
viously the bills were drawn and signed by Mr. Russell,
but these bills were more in the nature of private debts
than partnership transactions, and they were now the
subject of litigation.
Re-examined—Witness was quite positive the note
was drawn with the knowledge, if not with the absolute
consent of Mr. Russell, and he was equally as certain
that Mr. Doyle was not prohibited by the partnership
agreement from accepting bills or drawing notes on be-
half of the'firm.
Mr. Robert Jacquet, who cashed the note at the in-
stance of Mr. Doyle and the last witness, stated that the
Weekly Chronicle establishment had owed him 30/.
for refreshments, and when be was asked to
discount the note now in dispute, Mr. Russell
arranged with him that 101. of that amount should be
considered' as due , from the firm, and it was therefore
added to the note. Witness gave a cheque for the 75/,
which was duly honoured, and which he now produced,
and bad always understoOd that it was drawn with the
sanction of 'Mr. Russell. He paid the note away to Mr.
Cooper, the baker, on the 10th of October.
Cross-examined—Had never it ceived any notice or
intimation from Mr. Russell that Mr. Doyle was not au-
thorised to draw bills or notes in the name of the firm,
thouffh he had often. had conversation with him on the
sabj, ct of the partnership disputer. Two other bills,
drawn by Mr. Doyle for the firm, had since come into
his hands, and had since been honoured. On one occa •
sion Mr. Russell had a conversation with him about this
very note, and Mr. Russell then said to him, "I shall pay
the 101.,' hnt Mr. Doyle will pay the 751." Witness
geld he could recognize no such arrangement ; the
money was advanced to the Weekly Chronicle establish-
ment, and the firm must be held liable for the amount.
Mr. Cooper. the other indorses, stated that he received
the note in part payment of an account from the last
witness on the 10th of October. He held the note till
the 19th of the following November, when he indorsed
it to the present plaintiff, with whom he dealt for flour.
Cross-examined—He was confident the note was not
in his possession atter it became due. He received
notice of its dishonour from Mr. Dives, and told him
that he must sue the drawers.

Mr. Sergeant SHEE was afraid he should be unable
to establish the defendant's plea atter this evidence, and
he therefore thought it better to stop thi. case here and
allow a verdict to be taken for the plaintiff.
The bill wai then put in Arid read, and the jury, under
the direction of the Court, returned a verdict for the
pirtintiff for the full amount claimed, with interest as
damages.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

CRAWFORD V. COCKS AND OTHERS.

This action was brought against Messrs. Cocks and
Biddulph, the. bankers, to recover the sum of 536/.
10s. 6d.„ which it was alleged they had paid out of the
plaintiff's account without his authority. It was tried
before the Lord Chief Baron at the last sittings after
term in Middlesex. The plaintiff was nonsuited.
Sir FREDERICK THESIGER now applied for a rule to
show cause why the nonsuit should Lot be set aside and
a new trial had, and why, if it should become necessary,
the plaintiff should not be at liberty to amend the decla-
ration by striking'out the names of two of the defendants.
It appeared that these two defendants had become part-
ners atter the transactions which constituted the subject
matter of the action, and the main question was whether
they were liable for the money which thc plaintiff
alleged had been paid without his authority or sanction
previous to their becoming partners in the banking firm.
The particulars of, the case were wholly devoid of any
general interest. •
The COURT took time to consider their decision.

DARING ROBBERY.— William Ha77op, a well dressed
man, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with
stealing two gold chains from the shop of Mr. Attenbo-
rough, silversmith, &c., Piccaditly.
George Rowe, shopman in the employ of Mr. Atten-
borough, stated that about five o'clock last night the
prisoner came into his master's shop and asked to; see
some gold guard chains. Witness showed him eight,
which the prisoner looked at, and then asked if he (wit-
ness) had not some larger. Witness pretended to go
round the counter to get some more, and suspecting the
prisoner, ho kept his eye upon him, and saw him
put one chain into his great-coat pocket. Witness then
produced two more, but found that two of the original
eight were deficient. He told the prisoner that would
not do, and desired him to pull the chain out of his
coat pocket. The prisoner said, " What do you mean?"
and before witness could secure him he contrived to
return the two chains and place them on the counter.
The prisoner then ran out of the shop, and witness's
fellow-shopman ran after him and gave him into custody.
The prisoner, who has committed several other
offences of a similar nature, and who, it was understood,
was concerned in.a recent extensive burglary at Clap-
ham, was remanded for a week.
