MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, comprising 6,500 American, 300
Pernam and Maranham, at 5i3. to 6d., 200 Bahia at sd.
to 6 d., 200 Egyptian at 6d. to Sid., and 800 Surat at
2id. to 3id. per lb. The market was firm, good ord.
and low mid American were light, as also Surat.—The
Share Market was dull.

The six weeks' average price of wheat is 425. 9d. per
quarter.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 12th -inst. was
dull for Dutch Stock, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
being 58 15.16 to 59. Mexican Bonds were lower.
The Garay Treaty forms at present the subject of a
difference between Mexico and the United States, and
the following explanations by the assistant-engineer en-
gaged in the Tehuantepec survey throw some light upon
the matter:—

In reply to the statements concerning the Tehuan-
tepec route, I beg leave briefly to assure you that it is
quite as feasible as any in the United States; that there
are no less than six mountain passes, all admitting of
grades not less than 60 feet; that the road can be built
upon a grade of 55 feet to the mile; that a ship canal is
by no means impossible; that earthquakes have not oc-
curred on the Isthmus so far as I am informed; that
the lands are incomparably rich, abounding in iron, tin,
silver, salt, and coal mines, together with mahogany,
lignum vibe, india-rubber, pine, line oak, and cy-
press, and every variety of gum trees and dye
woods. We may add to these a soil and climate
adapted to the raising of rice, cotton, sugar, and to-
bacco, equal, if not superior, to the finest portions
of the southern country, and in quantities sufficient,
should the Isthmus fall into the hands of foreign capital-
ists, to injure seriously, if not destroy, the American
trade to Europe; the existence of an excellent harbour
on the Pacific; a magnificent river on this side, navi-
gable for 30 miles for snipi; a salubrious and healthy
climate ; the close proximity of the Isthmus to
the United Stares ; the saving of two thousand miles
in the voyage to California ; the control of
the entire India trade, and the market which the States
of the South and West must have for their produce on
the shores of the Pacific—it is plain, then, that the inva-
sion' of the Isthmus, so liberally imputed to the engi-
neering party, has been attended with some good results,
and that Tehuantepe© possesses immeasurable advan-
tages over the pestilential climate, spongy morassss, and
barren heights of Panama, or the stagnant lake of Nica-
ragua.
" The action of the late Mexican Congress, in refer-
ence to the Tehnantepee route, is due to the influence
of the ,members from the States of Vera Crux and
Oaxaca, who oppose it on the ground that they are not
likely to reap any benefit from it—in other words, the
decline of their capitals is but too plainly de-
picted in the approaching reality of the great
dream which Cortez had centuries since. Every
effort, therefore, has been strained to avert this blow,
and even the people of Sovora and Tamaulepas have
been humbugged into the idea of railroads there, to
secure their opposition to Tehuantepec. And yet with
all your want of an extensive and abiding faith' with
regard to the practicability of their project, their resist-
ance to the Isthmus route is sure evidence of its feasi-
bility and importance."
The English Funds are very weak this morning, and
there is scarcely any business doing. This, indeed, ap-
pears to be the only cause of the existing heaviness, for the
unfunded debt is higher, showing money to be less in de-
mand; the weather is fine and the Foreign Exchanges are
expected to go higher to-morrow. Consols have been
96i1 for Transfer, and 96i -a for Account. The New

and the Three per Cents. 97k to I. Bank Stock is

Foreign Securities are affected by the settlement of
the account, which takes plane to-morrow, end by the
arrangements kr " carryingt:over." The making-up
price of Mexican was put as low as 28i, but the specu-
lators grumbled sadly at this, and we believe the committee
have since altered it to 29. Certainly the public who
deal in these things are made to suffer pretty severely,
and at the option of a few jobbers, and we cannot woa-
der at the disgust they are unmistakably evincing for a
security that can be so" banged." The want of candour
on the part of the Mexican authorities, the with-
holding of information as to the amount of du-
ties pending, leading to the fear that the urgL.nt
wants of the Government may have led to
their being discounted, the certainty of dull
trade and small duties until October, and the
official declaration of the Finance Minister that the
Treasury is utterly impoverished, have all combined to
dishearten those who entertained good, and who
thought especially that the remittance on Saturday last
for the dividends would have been 150,000 to
200,000 dollars, instead of the paltry 30,000
dollars that came to hand. Still we would
counsel holders in their disappointment not to forget
that the price now is getting low, 294- to I, with the in-
demnity money included, being, even it Mexico pays
only 2 per cent. on the orginal capital, a fair value.
Of course ;the great problem is, whether she can pay
that, and what her political relations ails to be vis-
a-vis the United States. At present they are not
all that could be wished. Peruvian Stock has been at
90; Equador at 3i. Sardinian Scrip has been discount

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
BARKER AND OTHERS V. KENNETT.

The plaintiffs in this actio❑ are well-known news
and advertising agents, and the defendant was connected
with a parcels delivery company. The amount sought
to be recovered was 541. 9s. 54 for advertisements in-
serted by defendant's order in the London and country
newspapers. Defendant had given a bill of exchange
for a portion of the amount, but the bill had been dis-
honoured.
Mr. WALTER WHITE appeared for the plaintiffs, and
adduced evidence to prove the orders and the insertion
of the advertisements.

Tho Learned UNDER-SHERIFF asked whether there
was any additional charge upon the amount actually paid
for the insertions?
Mr. WHITE said that 10 per cent. was charged, and
in a case before Mr. Baron Martin it was held that,
where there was a risk of a lengthened credit, 15 per cent.
was not an unreasonable charge.
Plaintiff did not charge interest on the bill, and the
jury gave a verdict for the full amount.

GOODMAN V. CRESSWELL.

The plaintiff in this action is the proprietor of the
Boar and Castle Tavern, Oxford-street, and the defend-
ant is a gentleman residing at Folkestone. The amount
claimed was 91. 17s. 5d , for a bill incurred by defendant
during a recent sojourn in the " great metropolis."
Mr. TuomPsoN, Sise-lane, appeared for the plaintiff,
and adduced evidence to show the ordering and delivery
of the viands, but a question arose whether the order
given by the waiter at the bar could be construed into
an order by the defendant; but it was shown that, by
the methodical manner in which the accounts were kept,
the waiter proved each order, and that he saw every iteni
inserted in the book before he lett the bar.

Mr. THOMPSON thought that more conclusive evidence
could not be adduced.

The Learned UNDER•SHERIFF said it was not often
that hotel bills could be so clearly made out.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount.
LEGAL EXPEDITION.—" The delay of the law" bets
often been the subject of complaint, and again occasion•
ally it has been insinuated that the law is rather too
fast;" but in this court it appears that both law and
justice is administered without unnecessary delay. The
Court sat at eleven o'clock as a county court of the
sheriffs of Middlesex, and divers nobles and others of
lower degree were called upon by Mr. Hemp, chief officer
of the Sheriffs', to surrender, or in default to be declared
outlawed. Four cases were tried and decided, and the
court was cleared in less than half an hour, everybodf
apparently being quite satisfied; even in one case, where
the defendant's attorney had resisted the claim as far as
he could, he said he would not trouble the jury, and eat
down expressing his feeling that he was " perfectly sedge
fled" with the verdict of a British jury; but if
he had pleaded something else he would bale
shown quite a different face on the matter. 000
of the jury asked what could have been done, be/
his inquisitiveness was suppressed, and the attorney
resigned himself to a verdict with the same satistactioe
as any gentleman whose doubts are likely to be resolved,
by Mr. J. K. (inquire for address at Mr. Clarke's, Ole
Bailey).

MANSION-HOUSE —(THIS DAY.),
Caroline Sheehy and Thomas Sheehy, brother and
sister, both young persons, were placed at the bat
before Mr. Alderman Moon, on a charge of stealing fa
in silver, half a sovereign, a gold watch, a gold neck'
chain, and a pair of gold bracelets, the property of Mr'
Jacob Hamis, a ginger- beer manufacturer in White'
street, lioundsditch.
The female prisoner was a servant in the employ er
the prosecutor, and on Friday night last was left to take
charge of the house in the absence of her master and leis'
tress. All the rooms except the kitchen were previously
locked, and on the prosecutor returning home with his wife
he was astonished to see a light in the bedroom. °ll
knocking at the door the light was immediately extio.
guished, and when the prisoner was questioned on tb
subject, as soon as she opened the door, she said she had
gone there for the purpose of getting a clean tablecloth
for the kitchen. No sooner, however, had they entered
the house than she ran off up the street, withot bon'
net, shawl, or cap, and succeeded is escaping, il3
consequence of there being a great crowd In
the neighbourhood. The prosecutor subsequentll
found that the bedroom door had been forced, and the
articles mentioned above abstracted from a chest 01
drawers which had also been forced. Until yesterday
she had escaped detection, but on that day her mistress,,
who suspected she would go by vessel to Cork, proceeded
in company of a police•officer to the wharf near Tower'
hill, and on their way happened to meet her in the
street. She was of course taken into custody, and on being
searched all the property was found upon her person
with the exception of the bracelets, which she had pledged
for 305., the duplicate being in her pocket. It app
that they were pledged at a pawnbroker's in the Edge,:
ware-road, where the prisoner stated she bad been on;
by her mistress, Mrs. Hamis, in order to get solo
money on them. The only evidence against the rate
prisoner was that he had been seen loitering about tma
house for several evenings prior to the robbery, and ba
in his possession at the time of being taken into caste'',
the gown worn by his sister when she decamped on Vry
day evening.
Mr. Alderman MOON said he would remand the 05se
::
until to-morrow, in order that farther evidence might
procured as to the male prisoner's participation in 04'
robbery.

MARLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY'?
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF FIIRNITURE.—Ann Slrice
land, a well-dresseu woman, was placed at the barb
tore Mr. Bingham, charged with being concerned t'
her-husband, who is in custody, and remanded till to'
morrow, in robbing Mr. Richard Turner, of 75, Mark.
lane, of property to the amount of 3001.
Mr. Henry Collins, auctioneer and valuer, 51,Brevveri
street, Golden-square, said the prisoner was the wife;
a prisoner who stood remanded till to-morrow, on I'7
charge of stealing from a dwelling-house in King-stral

four bedsteads, four beds, and other articles, to the YalLtle.

a woman, who was a servant in the house, had mootmysteriously disappeared from the premises, and
nowhere to be found; and ho was afraid that somethir&
strange bad happened to her. He had no doubt the
prisoner at the bar could give the magistrate some in.
formation about her, if his worship would ask her.
Mr. BINGHAM said, he could not put such a questiout
but he would ask her presently if she had anything W
say. cro Mr. Collins)—Can you show any act on tliG

The prisoner said she left her lodgings at Clapbans,.
with a view to get others, but as there was little or 111_1,
furniture there she went away with the intention n'
procuring some. Afterwards she returned to Clapharn%
Mr. BINGHAM said it would be better, under the cit.,
curnstances, to order a remand until to-morrow, in orclet
that the prisoner might be brought up jointly with
husband. Meanwhile she might consult her legal a
visers. He (Mr. Bingham) would take bail for her AP"
pearance to-morrow.
Prisoner said she could not procure bail, and she bad
no legal adviser.
She was then removed to the lock-up cells is the Mil
of the court.

SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.)
A few days ago Mr. Church, the solicitor to the Soul!,
Eastern Railway Company, attended before the rcagr;
trate at this court to apply for a summons Bpi°.
Lieutenant Bradshaw, of the Royal Artillery, for
mating a violent assault upon one of the guards
tackled to the company, named George Richardson, W.lllO
in the due execution of his duty at the .London-bridg
terminus of the railway. After hearing the statement (;:i
the guard, which showed that he was roughly treste
without the least provocation, the magistrate 011.10
dine) granted a summons, which was placed in '
hands of Guest, one of the summoning officers attached
to the court for service, and today was apPnieSes
for the hearing. The officer, however, was ‘)
able to serve the summons, owing to Lieutent,ll;
Bradshaw not being placed in quarters, heiail3r
only recently arrived at Woolwich barracks.
Church accordingly attended, and said that the eon2ol°l,
was determined to protect their servants from the II:ill,
lence of persons who thought proper to attack thern,,,
their mad treulic. He should, therefore, prase the co'd,
plaint, and he had no doubt if the officer saw the 860
jutant, and explained his business, that that rntleina.
would see the summons delivered to the Deus:olEl,o.
Guest was then directed to proceed to Woolwich
morrow morning, and endeavour by all possible menu
to effect a service on the lieutenant or the adjutant.

PORT or BRISTOL.—A meeting of the 12°1
Council of this city was held yesterday, when a report 11.13
presented from the dock committee, showing that the 1_l;
come of the dock had very much increased, exceeding te
expenditure of the year by about The committee
also recommended that the dues on sugar be reduced one"
half, that is from 's to ls. 6d. per ton, and those on tea,
coffee, and cocoa entirely removed, which the council unan g
i-
mousl assented. It was also stated that the foreign tonnae
