tIiPNEY and CO.I4IALL.ItCIAL NEWS'
Cl7' Y, TWO 0' CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
about 3,000 bales, of which 600 Surat were taken for
export. The market closed heavily, and prices of
all kinds were *d. per lb. lower than on Friday hut.--
Railway Shares were flat.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat in the markets
which make official returns is 395. Id. per quarter.
The arrivals to day do not generally bring later news,
end there is an Absence of continental news of an excit-
ing character, if we except the udvices from Madrid,
which render it doubtful whether General Narvaez is not
wholly out of favour. Unconstitutional as many COn'
Bider the administration of that minister to have been,
it seems to be admitted that his Excellency has
displayed great ability in keeping the country
tranquil, that gradually it may recover its
agricultural and commercial prosperity, both so griev-
ously impaired by former reverses, but so steadily lin'
proving since 1845. The great fault of Narvaez's
policy,
apart from its despotic tendency, has been an excessive
leaning to the army, and the maintenance of a costly and
unnecessarily large force.
If mercantile profits are to be measured by those
the joint. stock banks, they must during the past yell
have been very considerable. The dividend se
bonus declared yesterday at the London and Virestmi.%
ster Bank meeting was equal tog per cent. per annum 6m
to-day at the half-yearly meeting of the London Pie,.
Stock Bank, the usual dividend, at the rate of six Pei
cent. per annum was declared, together with a bonne
3s. 6d. per share, after the payment of which the gd.
rantee fund would stand, at 137,1091. lls. 3d. DurlDni
the discussion as to what ought to he the maximum
ie
the guarantee fund, which still went on increasing,
directors stated that it could not at present be fixel°! 8
any amount as a maximum. The report of the meeting
will be found in another column.
The English Stock Market has been weaker, en.a,
money upon the settlement of the account, which 01 f
Bullish, has been scarcer. There have been reports
the Bank of England having shown greater reluctanr:
to grant loans upon stock, and it appears that the,Aeu.s
bers are disappointed at the result of the " options, ere
stock having been called for than was expected. Tt11:0

Theenlaintenance of the poor in the united parishes.
the aPpointment of all the officers connected with

ed
in the vestrymen of the joint parishes,
o were also empowered from time to time to
,jFerld or remove all or any of such officers and ay-
-21.1t others in their stead. By section 61 of the same
the vestrymen were authorized to make rules for the
good a.
-theoievcrnment of the several persons employed
.by
vest'and by section 62 the vestrymen of the joint
Y were authorized to appoint directors of the poor,
that were to be elected annually. So that in fact by
'et of Parliament the appointment and removal of
thYlicers connected with the relief of the poor were in
vestrymen; and the directors of the poor were merely
tatt:,lereise the powers relating to the relief, mainte-
-o,"e, and employment of the poor as churchwardens and
therseers
were usually authorised to exercise, subject to
of .aPPointment of alt inferior officers by the joint vestry
vdli'ehe Parish. By the 4 andcap.76, under
that
the Poor-law Commissioners act, it was provided
teatilroln and after the passing of the Act the adminis-
Vie% of the relief ot the poor in England and
an? 81101.11 d be subject to the direction end control
th. the Poor-law Commissioners; and for executing
Powers given to them by the Act, the Commissioners
"er" authorized to make and issue all such rules, orders,'
Sad r_
be egulations as they should think proper for the mr-
andgefieo:ll of the poor, and of their relief in workhouses,
tries, and guidance and control of all guardians, yes-
itto and main ogicers, so far as related to the manage-
tbetir,t and tenance of the poor. And by section 46,
int Commissioners were empowered to unite parishes
unions for the relief and maintenance of the poor.
r"management CAMPBELL said the policy of the whole Act was
toe Ye the of the poor in the hands of the
al authoriti,s
uJ PEAcocK submitted that the vestrymen of these
the parishes although they might be controlled by
Pover°°rlaw dommissioners, still could not have the
ferr ers
vested in them by the Act of Parliament trans-
(' ed from them, and given to somebody else. The
7tahaissioners had made an order, by the 66th article
which, the vestrymen of the joint vestry were autho-
rizedvae 'evguiraever it might be requisite, or whenever a
rain" Y
alight occur, to appoint tit persons to hold cer-
th °flices connected with the management and relief obf
poor. That he (Mr. Peacock) apprehended was
T7°lld the powers of the Poor-law Commissioners.
.• tY had a right to control the ye trymen in the elec-
ito
th%of their officers ; but they had no right to say that
e
to estryra,n should appoint such officers as the direc-
dtrs of the poor, acting under such vestrymen, should
i„*4et them tai 00. 'I he plain effect of the order was,
place the directors over the vestrymen.
1110 Court granted a rule g( nerldly to show cause.
