MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoCK-

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with great firmness, and prices of American were
nearly per lb. dearer than on Friday. Surats
were also 1-16 d. higher, and other sorts were un-
changed. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales
—l,OOO for export and 2,000 on speculation—
comprising 8,500 American, 400 Pernambuco and
Maranham, 61d. to 7&d. ; 400 Egyptian, 60. to
9d. ; 800 Surat, 41d. to 5d., and 60 Sea Islands
101 d. to ls. 11d. per lb. The Railway Share
Market was buoyant, closing at its best point.
Advices from the Mauritius, by way of Suez, to
the 21st April, report an active trade in sugar with
Australia, but a dull business with England, on
account of the fall reported at the beginning of
Spring. The crop of sugar this year is said to be
more deficient than any which has happened for
some time. It is calculated at about 102,000 tons,
being 5,000 tons less than last season—which also
was a deficient crop. The cause of this has been
the ravages of a disease in the canes during the
flowering season. Th© exports of sugars of this
year's crop from the port of the Mauritius to
foretn countries up to the 31st March, was as
follows :

Freights had fallen considerably, and ranged from
13.75 p. to 14.371,p. to Great Britain. The rates
ft_r Australia were nominal at 15p., all the vessels
laid on for those colonies having sailed; and for
the Cape of Good Hope they were quoted at lop.
The cholera was still raging at Port Louis and in
the country. Great distress was expected, and
want of labour in the colony.

Mr. Miller, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house, has
published his usual monthly list of vessels new on
the berth for Australia, New Zealand, &c. The
following are the particulars of the number of ves-
sels and the tonnage to sail during the present
month :

The Rhymney Iron Company, at their meeting
of to-day, declared a dividend of 2/. per share,
being at the rate of 4 par cent. per annum.
The rates of exchange in some of the principal
cities of the Continent for three months' bills were
again rather flatter yesterday afternoon. They
are yet sufficiently high, however, to prevent an
efflux of specie.

The Paris Bourse yesterday afternoon closed
heavily at a decline of nearly per cent. in the
Rentes. The expected early announcement of a
funding of Treasury Bonds continues to exercise an
unfavourable influence upon prices.

After a temporary pause the English Stock
Market has again assumed a buoyant appearance,
and during the morning the business done has been
to a fair amount. Consols have been 95a 1, and
954 being k per cent. higher thanyesterday. The
New Three per Cents. have been 96 1, and the
Reduced 95i to 96i. Exchequer Bills are 13s. to
16s. premium.

The Foreign market is dull. Turkish 6 per
Cents. have been rather flatter, viz., 1061 and
107. The 4 per Cents. improved to 1061 ; but
they have since been rather lower, viz., 106 k
Russian 5 per Cents. have been as high as 112%.
Sardinian are 92g. Mexican 23. The other Se-
curities are generally as before.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign

can, 23,/ ; Peruvian, 814 821 ; ditto 3 per Cents.,

Spanish 3 per Cents., 46 1 ; ditto New Deferred,
25 ; ditto Certificates, 6i 7 ; ditto Passive, 6/ 7.
The Railway Share Market is exceedingly active,
and in some cases a material change in prices has
occurred. North-Western, Manchester, Sheffield
and Lincoln, East Anglian and South-Eastern are
higher ; but some of the others are heavy. The
shares of the Eastern Belgian, the prospectus of
which was only issued yesterday, are 1/. premium.
Foreign and Colonial Shares are mostly dull.
Banks are in request at full prices.

JUDICIAL COMMITTER OF THE PRIVY

COUNCIL.

IN RE DYCE SOMBRE.

The judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council on the appeals of the East India Company and
Henry Thoby Pi insep V. the ROD. Mary Anne Dyce
Sombre, from Prerogative Court of Canterbury, was
given yesterday.
We have received a detailed authentic report of the
decision of the Privy C ouncil on this important case ;
hut the document is vet y long, and we have not space
for its insertion. We subjoin, however, the conclusion
of the decree, as follows :--
" We are of opinion that when Mr. Dyce Sombre
executed this will, and when he executed the codicil, he
was of unsound mind, and, consequently, that the acts
so done by him were null and void ; therefore we advise
her Majesty to affirm the judgment of the learned judge
of the Prerogative Court, pronouncing against the vali-
dity of these instruments.
" There remains, however, another question of great
importance with respect to the costs of the suit. We
have decided humbly to advise her Majesty to vary the
decree below with respect to costs ; to give no costs
against the appellant, but to allow them out of the
estate one set of costs only between Mr. Prinsep and
the East India Company, including the coqs of this ap-
peal. With respect to the respondents they will each
have their own costs out of their share of the property."

CRYSTAL PALACE.-At the annual meeting, on Mon-
day; the ballot for a new director was declared in favour
of Mr, Low, by a considerable majority.
