LAW 11VTALLIGENCE—( This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)

At the sitting of the court this morning eight of the gen-
tlemen recently appointed Queen's Counsel were called by
the Lord Chancellor, and took their seats within the bar.

APPEAL.-JUDGMLNT.-DATIS V. NASSETTEIt.
The Lord Chancellor varied the decree of the Vice .Chan-
cellor Stuart to the effect of declaring the nephews and
nieces of the testator, William Lambert "White, whoa died
17th April, 1843, entitled to a pro rata share of the mort-
gage debt due to Frederick and William on the stripe of
lands devised by Frederick, and that there was no sale of
the lands.
His lordship allowed the appeal without costs on either
side, except costs to the trustees, as the bill ought never to
have been filed.

APPEAL.- JUDGMENT.-11IIYMNEY RAILWAY COMPANY V.

TAFF VALE RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls.

The Lord Chancellor could not discover any reason for
disturbing the decision of the Master of the Rolls. His
lordship dismissed the appeal with costs.

STATE OP TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Feb. 26.—The market continues
in much the same state of depression as was re
ported last week, and the prices of India shirtings
and madapollams are about lid. per piece down
since then. Lighter fabrics for the same market
are cheaper in the same proportion. Printing cloths
are even more depressed, and long cloths and T
cloths have at length begun to feel the weight of
the depression more severely. A very small busi-
ness has been done, and manufacturers generally
are becoming very anxious sellers. It appears that
only a portion of the Blackburn weavers resumed
work yesterday, and a telegram received here to-
day states that it is feared even these will go out
again to-night, from a misunderstanding among
themselves. The yarn market has greatly dis-
appointed expectations. From the better feeling
of the last few days it was thought we should
have had prices id. per lb. higher, but buyers
would not give it, and spinners have been rather
free sellers at Friday's rates. A fair busi-
ness has been done on these terms, both for home
consumption and export. A larger business would
have been done, it is thought, but for the fear that
money would be dearer. German and Dutch ship-
pers have been among the buyers of water twist,
but India buyers of yarn are only operating where
they can do so on easier terms. Telegrams from
Calcutta to the 29th of January report very little
business, and shirtings lkd. lower than on the
25th, and 4.},d. lower than on the 17th of January.
Trade bad in China, and prices nominal. Messrs.
John Slagg and Co. report :—" The market con-
tinues in the same depressed state as it has been
for the last two weeks. Indeed, so far as India
and China goods are concerned, there is, owing to
the telegrams received yesterday, even less disposi-
tion to buy, and prices continue very irregular, but
decidedly lower since Tuesday last. There is still
a moderate demand for some kinds of long-cloths
and T-cloths, and last week's prices are sustained ;
but in almost all other descriptions the business is
quite insignificant in amount, and prices continue
to droop."
LEEDS, Feb. 26.—There has been a moderate
market for woollen goods in the cloth-halls this
morning. Still considerable quietness exists in the
trade, and purchases were confined to small parcels
of spring and summer goods, with a few lots of
ordinary cloths. The weather has rather improved
to-day, still it is so cold that winter garments are
mostly worn. Hence spring goods are not going
very fast into use. With warmer and more genial
weather the woollen trade will become more active.
Prices continue steady.
ROCHDALE, Feb. 25.—The market has been flat
to-day, both for wools and flannels. In general
wools maintain late prices, but those of skin kinds
are a shade easier to buy. Some of the flannel
manufacturers are reducing their rate of produe•
tion, being unwilling to overstock the market.
Except for linscys, which may be bought for less
money than they could a month ago, prices of
goods remain firm. The slackness in the demand
applies to Yorkshire goods, as well as to Lancashire
flannel productions.
