CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days have been extremely active,
and high rates have been current for most of the
principal staples. For sugar of good grocery qua-
lities there has been an active business, the trade
having purchased freely for home consumption, at
an advance in some instances of about ls. per cwt.
Coffee has been iu steady demand, and Plantation
Ceylon improved about ls. to 2s. per cwt. Cocoa
has been dull, andowin gto thelarge arrivals a decline
of about 103. per cwt. has taken place. Spices have
been dealt in to a fair extent, and in most instances
full rates have been readily realised. Rice and
rum met a limited 'inquiry, and at public sales of
the former nearly the whole of the quantity offered
was bought in at rates somewhat under late quo-
tations. Saltpetre has been in moderate request,
at a slight decline, the inferior qualities having re-
ceded about ls. per cwt. Tallow has exhibited a
slight downward tendency, the present current
rates being P. Y. C. on the spot, 545. 3d. to 545. 6d, ;
January to March, 545. 9d. ; and last three
months, 51s. 6d. per cwt.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the cotton
market yesterday closed with a steady appearance,
and prices tended upwards. The sales amounted
to 12,000 bales, 2,500 of which were taken by the
speculat-Ts, and 1,500 by the exporters. The
Railway Share market presented a quiet appea.r-
since, and quotations were without any material
alteration.

At present there are no s;gns of any abatement of
the influx of gold at the Bank of England. Fur
some time past a large parcel has been daily added
to the metallic reserves of that establishment,
and the total probably now exceeds 14,000,0001.,
upwards of 200,0001. having been sent in yes-
terday. Besides the supply already on hand and
unappropriated, heavy consignments are coming
forward from America, and several vessels, some of
which are overdue, are en route from Australis,
with large remittances. The movement is likely to
continue, and until some new demand from France
or soma other country springs up, a rapid accumula-
tion will be insured.

The Arago, from the United States, has brouglit
54,400/. in specie for England, and 40,0001. for
France. These remittances, though small, must
be a source of relief to the mercantile interest in
the latter country, looking at the heavy losses which
bavebeen entailed by the Transatlantic panic. It is
admitted, however, and the fact is worthy of re-
cord, that the Americans are showing every dispo-
sition to discharge their indebtedness to their
European creditors. Unless this course is adopted
as far as possible, our merchants would be very
chary of resuming operations, and it is hoped that
in future both shippers and manufacturers will
abstain from giving such extended credit as in for-
mer periods.

Another slight advance has taken place in the
English Stock Market, which now wears a buoyant
aspect, in consequence of a few speculative pur-
chases, as well as bona fide investments. Still,
there is not much animation, owing to the
anxiety felt to ascertain what arrangements
are contemplated by the Honourable East
India Company. Consols are marked 95 to 95i

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.)
EARL TALBOT V. ROPE SCOTT-DBILLFRRER, PLEA,

MOTION.

EARL TALBOT V. ISOPR BOOTT-rLEA, WITH MOTION.

In the first cause this was a motion for an injunction
to restrain the defendant frota receiving the rents anal
profits of the settled estates t.f the late Earl of Shrews-
bury, and for a receiver, pending the establishment of
the plaintiff's claim in the House of Lords as heir-at-law
to the late Earl of Shrewsbury, and to restrain the de-
fendant from cutting down the ornamental timber on the
estates.

The Vice-Chancellor, in delivering judgment this
morning, was of opinion that as the plaintiff bad not
made oat his claim as heir-at-law to the late Earl of
Shrewsbury, either in the House of Lords or in a court
of law, his Honour could not grant the i❑junction now
asked for by the plaintiff. And for the same reason,
that the plaintiff had not mace oat his title as heir-at-law
to the late Earl of Shrewsbury, his Honour said he must
allow the defendant's demurrer to the plaintiff's bill, and
dismiss the bill. The plaintiff, however, might after-
wards establish his title as heir-at-law to the late Earl of
Shrewsbury. As to the defendant's plea in the second
Cause, his Honour the Vice-Chancellor said that he would
allow the plea on the plaintiff undertaking to reply by
next seal. His Honour disallowed costs of an abandoned
motion, and allowed costs io the cause.
