whether the Government " had made any attempt
to prevent the•quarrel between the States from
coming to a bloody issue ;" secondly, " what hopes
they entertained of succeeding in so laudable an
endeavour ;" thirdly, " whether they have invited,
or are in correspondence with any European Go-
vernment," with a view of putting a stop, at its
commencement, to the threatened civil war.

Lord WoDsuotTsE replies, expressing the uni-
versal feeling of the calamity which civil war in
the United States would be; but, after the most
mature deliberation, the Government had come to
the conclusion " that it was not desirable
that this country should intrude her advice
or counsel on the Government of the
United States." If the advice were soli-
cited, Lord WODETIOUSE indirectly intimated
it might alter the case, but the Government thought
that " a great and independent nation" might not
welcome any advice of ours respecting her internal
affairs. Lord LYONS is only therefore authorised
to express on " every fitting occasion" the desire
of the QUEEN'S Government that the difference
between the North and the South may be peace-
fully settled. His lordship could not help inform-
ing the Earl of MALMESBURY, with a sly and hu-
morous explicitness, that Lord LYONS had not been
instructed to give either " officiously" or officially,
any counsel or advice to the American Government,
unless it were first asked for by the contending
parties themselves.
The sacred proverb respecting "those who meddle
withistrife which belongeth not to them" was cer-
tainly never more applicable than in the present
case. Each of the contending parties would have
grounds to suspect our disinterestedness. With
our Anti-Slavery sentiments we could not advise
the North to concede anything in regard to the
extension of Slavery, nor in reference to the recap-
ture of fugitives from unrighteous bondage ;
the South would therefore resent our judgment, so
far, in favour of the North. lf, on the other hand,
we counselled the North to concede independence or
anything else, in the interests of peace, the North
would believe that our cotton supply was of
more account in our eyes than their hon-
our, or the power of the Union as one
great nation. Neither party, for different reasons,
would regard us as disinterested counsellors; though,
in standing by the North, at the risk of injuring
our cotton trade, we should certainly have the best
claim to be considered free from selfish motives.
The North has, however, wronged us, and all other
manufacturing nations, by its protective tariffs, and
most of all by the last one, a tariff it could hardly
have carried but for the secession of the Southern
States, which have already passed a far more liberal
one. Nothing, therefore, amid all these complica-
tions, could be wiser than the course taken by
our Government. It is, indeed, little likely that
either party, yet, would be disposed to listen to the
most impartial adviser.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY WEIVAS'.

CITY, Two o'CLocic.
Less activity has prevailed in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days.
Sugars have slightly declined in value, while in-
ferior qualities of coffee have been also at reduced
quotations. Rice, 'fruits, and spices, have been in
moderate request, without any change of importance
to record is prices. Saltpetre has been in more
demand, and advanced rates have been obtained
for the finer descriptions. Tallow has been in
steady request, and a fair business has been done
for home consumption, P.Y.C. on the spot being
quoted 595,, and for last three months' delivery 555.
6d. per cwt.

There was a fair demand for cotton yesterday at
Liverpool, and prices were fully supported. The
sales were 10,000 bales.

A small quantity of gold, viz. £lO,OOO, was with-
drawn from the Bank of England yesterday.
To-morrow a call of £1 10s. per share is due on
the Cork and Kinsale Junction Railway shares.
The Tyne has arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils
with £104,000 for this country.
A steady enquiry for money is reported in
the general discount market, and greater activity
is expected during the next few days consequent
upon preparations for the 4th of the month. The
supplies are still very abundant, while the banks
and discount houses hold out for previous rates, and
in some instances require a slight advance, but they
still keep their terms sufficiently under the Bank of
England minimum to prevent much first class
business from being taken to that establishment.
There has been very little movement in the
English Stock Market to-day, the Funds having
been well maintained, and a few purchasers have
caused a slight advance. Consols are 91 1 for
money, and 91Z- 92 for the account.
Business has been extremely quiet, the
speculators, as well as investors, showing no disposi-
tion to extend operations. The New Threes and
the Reduced remain at 90 -1-; Bank Stock is firm
at 232 and 233 ; India ditto at 224 ; ditto New
Loan, 101 t. 102; but Exchequer Bills are flat at be.
to 3s. dis.

Continued quietude prevails in the Foreign Stock
Market, but prices are tolerably well supported.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 s ; ditto, 1858, 531 to
541. Sardinian have improved to 81; Russian 3
per Cents. to 62 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 981 9,
but Spanish are flat at 491.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a very restricted scale. Prices, however,
are in several instances rather firmer. Great
Westerns have advanced £1 ; Lancashire and York-
shire and Midland, as.; and North Western, 10s;
Eastern Counties have declined ss.

The Foreign and Colonial Markets have con-
tinued dull, but prices have tended upwards.
South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian have ad-
vanced ss. ; Great Western of Canada, 55.; East
Indian, ss. ; and Great Indian Peninsula, ss.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, s
Lord Wensleydale, Lord Chelmsford, Lerd Kingsdown, s
and other Peers.)
APPEAL JUDGMENT-BRISTOW V. WHITMORE.
This is an appeal from a decision of the Lord Chancellor

reversing a decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood, declaring
that the appellant was entitled to be indemnified for all the
expenses he lawfully incurred in fitting out and provision-
ing a vessel. From this decision the appellant appealed.
The question in this case was whether the master of a !!!

vessel in England had a right to indemnity out of the 7,1
freight, in respect of advances made in bills of exchange, st
drawn by him for the sole purpose of enabling him to fit 81
up and adapt the vessel for the specific purpose of perform- st
ing a charter-party. The vessel in question was the "
Kennelwoith, she was morgaged with the freight for et,
£3,500, and the expenses incurred in fitting up was £BlO, eta
and £64 17s. 2d. of which was paid by the appellant out st 4
of his own money. Mr. John Beckworth Gower was sole st 4
owner, and the respondent was his assignee.
The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Kings-
down wore of opinion that, under t'le charter-party, the sty
master had a claim on the freight earned for the expense
incurred by him in fitting up the ship as a troop transport :I:
ship. 2s.

Lord Wensleydale and Lord Chelmsford were of a con-
trary opinion, and thought that it was ultra vires of the
master to enter into such a contract, and in law he had no 8
lien on the ship or freight for reimbursement.
The Lord Chancellor reversed the decision of the Court 81
below, and allowed the appeal with costs.
APPEAL—JUDGMENT—HALL V. WARREN. st
This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Chan- st
eery, and the question in dispute was what construction 't
ought to be put on the will of the late William Hall, for- st
merly of 71, Queen's-road, Bayswater, with respect to his asit,
bequest for the foundation of a maternity hospital or st
house of refuge for destitute females in Queen's-road, at
st
Kensington.

Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Court
below as to the devise of the two houses, 71, Queen's-
road, and 6, .Carlton-place. And as to the residue of the
testator's propel ty varied the decree in favourof the respon-
dent.
HILLS V. PARKER.-APPEAL-JUDGMENT.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of
Chancery, declaring that a lease of the Imperial Salt; Works
was not part of the partnership assets.
Their Lordships were unanimous in opinion that the
lease in question formed part of the partnership assets, and
that the appellant was entitled on account of the premium
paid by him to a share of the value of the lease accordingly
in taking an account of the assets.
The Lord Chancellor reversed the decision of the Court
below, and allowed the appeal, with costs.

SCANDALOUS DOINGS AT A TOLL GATE, AND ASSAULT
UPON A POLICE CoNsTAßLE.—Thomas Clarke, a labourer,
aged 28, of No. 17, Victoria Cottages, Plaistow, Essex, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being drunk
and riotous, and assaulting Benjamin Keene, a police con-
stable, No. 298 K.
Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution,
at the instance of the Commercial-road trustees.
It appeared that at one o'clock this morning the constable
was stationed at the toll-gato on the iron bridge over the
river Lea, which separates the two counties of Essex and
Middlesex. The prisoner and a host of others as drunk
and as riotous came from the Middlesex side on to
the bridge, and made what the policeman called a
" bull rush " at the gate, with the intention of
forcing it open, and evading pay ment of the halfpenny foot-
toll. Mr. Sed, the toll-collector, a very respectable and
quiet man, remonstrated with the prisoner and his com-
panions, and said they eould not pass over the bridge until
they had paid the toll. The prisoner abused Sed, threa-
tened to annihilate him, and used the most dreadful lan-
guage, while those !,ehir d encouraged him by calling out,
" Give it him; force the gate." The prisoner's efforts to
open the gate prov3d fruitless, and he struck the collector
two violent blows with his fist. Tho policeman imme-
diately seized the prisoner, who made a violent attack upon
him, and struck and kicked him. The constable did not
relinquish his hold of the prisoner, Lut on the road to the
Poplar-station an attempt was made to rescue Clarke by
his companions. Police sergeant Mountford, 34 It,
went to his assistance and secured the prisoner.
Mr. Smith eaid he withed t) have a summons against
tho prisoner for assaulting the toll-collector and evading
the toll,

Mr. Woolrych—All the facts are before me, why not
dispose of the whole case at once.
Mr. Smith—lf you please, 'iir.
After some conversation between the magistrate and the
solicitor, and it appearing the only charge entered on the
police-sheet was the asralt en the constable,
gr. Woolrych said the prisoner's conduct was Very bad,
and if any one dared t) evade the legal toll on the iron
bridge a severe penalty would be inflicted. He fined the
prisoner 405., or in default 21 days' imprisonment. The
solicitor could take out a summons against Clarke for
assaulting the collector and evading the toll.
Mr. Smith—l will Certainly (19 that, sir.
