CITY, Two o'CLomc.
The reports received this morning from most of
the manufacturing districts state that during the
Past week less activity has been apparent. At Bir-
mingham the iron trade continues steady, but the
coal trade of the district is dull. The jewellery
and button trades continues very depressed. At
Manchester the market has been flat, and there is
uo longer a tendency in prices towards improve-
ment. A moderate demand is experienced for
goods suitable to the home trade, and to some ex-
tent for the German and Mediterranean markets.
The woollen trade at Leeds has been exceedingly
dull very few buyers having been in the town and
the transactions reported are chiefly in the heavier
kinds of cloths for the autumn. A few speculative
dealings have been entered into in goods suitable
ter the American trade in anticipation an of im-
proved demand from that quarter. The worsted
trade at Bradford shows symptoms of improvement
and some increase of business has been experienced.
Merchants engaged in the export department
have been making more inquiries for
goods and have in a great measure sup-
plied themselves from the accumulated stocks
en hand, At Halifax the carpet trade is active,
The piece goods have been sold to a fair extent.
]ace and hosiery trade of Nottingham and
Leicester have been very dull, and several manu-
facturers have been disposing of goods by tender.
In the shipping trade, however, rather more acti-
vity has prevailed for both the German and Ame-
rican markets ; at Sheffield and Wolverhampton
the operations in hardware have shown indications
°f a gradual removal, both home and conti-
nental orders having been given only to some ex-
tent, and the resumption of payment by Messrs.
Naylor, Vickers and Co. has caused increased ani•
oration in the neighbourhood.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a
better demand existed, and more buoyancy was
apparent. The sales were 10,000 bales, 2,000 of
Which were taken for export, and 2,000 on specu-
lation. The Railway Share Market continued
quiet.

The demand for money has been rather brisker
during the last few days, but in most respects the
taarket presents little alteration. Choice bills of
abort date are still negotiated at 24 to 2i per cent.,
and the arrivals of specie tend to strengthen the
'repression that there will be a contiunance of ease
during the remainder of the year. Besides the
Australian supplies, and those which were likely to
cern° forward from Russia, remittances are now
elPooted from the United States, the exchange
having risen to 1091 110.
The Arabia, just arrived, has brought about
92)400/., and, according to the tenor of the ad vices,
Is. likely to be immediately followed t.y further con-
41geraents. Meanwhile, it is probable that mode-
rate shipments will take place to the Continent and
the East, but if the imports continue as extensive
aS at present, a partial absortion for foreign pur-
poses will not create the slightest anxiety, nor exert
any injurious influence upon the position of mone-
tary affairs.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a moderate busi-
ness was transacted, at about stationary prices. Fine
b,rlev a- very firm ; brit inferior roleeb, were a slow
inquiry. Other produce ruled about stationary.
Throughout the continent, very little change has taken
place in the value of produce. The American advices
come heavy for both wheat and flour, very limited sup-
plies of English grain came fresh to hand last week. The
imports were 9,923 quarters of wheat, 28,995 barley,
36,610 oats. L 677 beans, 1,245 peas, 7,660 linseed, 4,950
rapeseed, 35 mustard seed, 77 sundry seeds, and 3,169
sacks of flour.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor,)
IN RE THE LONDON AND EASTERN BANKING CORPORATION.

The supplies of English wheat received 'fresh up to-day
from Essex, Kent, &c. coastwise, were only moderate ;
and the arrivals by laud carriage were limited, hence the
show of samples was small. Factors generally were firm
in their demands; but the inquiry for all kinds of home-
grown wheat was far from active, at prices about equal to
those realised on Monday last.
There was a large quantity of foreign wheat, fresh as
well as ex granary, on the stands. Even the finest quali-
ties were a dull inquiry, but we have no ohange to notice
in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain sold at last week's prices.
Scarcely any English barley was in the market ; but the
supply of foreign was entensive. Good and useful qualities
sold steadily—other kinds slowly, at about last week's
currency.
We had a dull inquiry for nearly all kinds of malt, and
late rates were barely supported.
The supply of oats was large. Good sound corn sold at
full prices ; but inferior and damp parcels were rather
lower.
Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady
request, at full prices.
In the value of flour no change took place.

JUDGMENT.

Two points of contention were raised in this case—
let, the validity of the fiat of bankruptcy of this com
pany ; and 2d, the legality of the proceedings at law by
Sir Charles Forbes and Company, creditors of this com-
pany, in obtaining a judgment of the Court of Exchequer
against the company on a bill of exchange after the fiat
of bankruptcy had been issued and an official manager
appointed.

The Lord Chancellor, after minutely examining and
considering the several clauses in the different Acts of
Parliament relative to the proceedings in bankruptcy in
banking corporations and companies, was of opinion
that, although a creditor was entitled to take a judg-
ment of a court of law upon his debt, yet he was bound
to proceed under the bankruptcy when a Sat of bank-
ruptcy is granted and an official manager appointed.
His lordshipaffirmed the fiat of bankruptcy, and granted
an injunction restraining Sir Charles Forbes and Com.
pany from proceeding in any other way to recover pay-
ment t

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
JENKIN V. CLINTON.-JUDGMENT.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said this was a
demurrer to the plaintiff's bill for want of equity. The
contention between the parties arose upon the construe.
tion to be put upon the will of the deceased Thomas
Jenkins, who died in 1798. And the question raised
was, whether the testator, by his will, demised an estate
in fee or in tail only in favour of his great-grand-nephews,
Thomas, William, and Joseph. His Honour, after
minutely examining and considering the different clauses
in the will, came to the conc'usion that the testator
demised an estate in tail only, and not in fee, and that
the plaintiff was not entitled to the relief asked by his
bill.

There was very little business doing in pigs, at unaltered

BOROUG HOP.
The plantation accounts state H that the blue is progressing

Harnbarely lat 3 rates. Last week's imports were 90 bales from

Francis Kelly, 130 11, said the prisoners were notori-
ous thieves, and had been repeatedly in custody.
Mr. Yardley—What is the value of the watch ?
The prosecutor replied that he gave seven guineas for
it three years ago, in Dundee.
The prisoners pleaded guilty.
Mr, Yardley—There is no doubt of your guilt, and I
will not inquire into your former career. I convict you
both of larceny, and sentence you to be imprisoned and
kept to bard labour for six calendar months.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The arrivals of home-grown potatoes continue on a full
average scale for the limo of year. Since Monday last the
imports have been confined to 150 tons from Dunkirk, awl
150 sacks froin Antwerp. Good and fine qualities, the show

Toffy was an action of ejectment tried a second time
before Mr. Justice Crowder, at Brecon, and the ques-
tion turned upon the cancelling of a will. It appeared
' that the deceased shortly before his death tore off the
seals of his will, saying he would make a fresh one, but
h3fore he could do so he died, and it was contended
that under the circumstances this was not a cancelling
or revokation of the will as against the parties who
were to be benefited. The Court without entering into
the question of " cancelling," generally, held that, in
this case, the tearing off of the seal was a revokation or
cancelling of it.
