MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW

CITY, QUARTER TO TIM 17 E.
The sales or Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, of which 2,000 American were take❑ on specula-
tion. The market closed steadily, but all dy!cripticns
were -41. per lb. lower.—ln Rlilway Shares only a Emit d
business was done, and the market clot-d heavily.
We observe that there continues to be a marked
degree of caution observed in the produce markets, and
the speculators have temporarily withdrawn, so that t e
business doing is principally for home use. Hold,is, On
the other hand, do not press sales, and thus there is a
manifest want of activity in the two great !Aaples, Sugar
and Coffee. Tea also is in le:.s r. quest; and at the
public sales a limited proportion only has found buyers,
at lower rates. A demand has arisen for Cassia Li gnus,
and other spices have been more debit in. Tallow has
been heevy. The Wool and Indigo auctions have been
well attended, but there is a dull trade in Cotton and
Hemp.

The following is a statement, received per Overland
Mail, of the quantity of Ceylon coffee to arrive:—

The telegraph announces the arrival of the Trent
steamer with late advices from the \Vett India Islands,
as well as the Mexican mail. The specie on board
amounts to 200,000 dollars. No letters have yet ar-
rived, but the summary appears in another column.
Port Philip and Adelaide advices of the 2il and 6th
November state that trade was rather dull. The new
wool had not come down for shipment. These accounts
are by overland mail, and consequently there is not the
usual supply of letters and papers.
The Funds are rather heavier to-day, owing to the
small majority cf Ministers in Parliament last evening;
but another and more potent cause is the anxiety to
wait until the anniversary of the French Revolution is
over. Consols have been 951 to 4 for Transfer, and 954
to for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 97i to 98i, and the Three per Cents.

In the Foreign market Peruvian Bonds have partially
recovered, the Active Bonds being 784 to 80, and the
Deferred 33i to 34k. Mexican Stock is et 29i. The
remittance for the dividend, per Trent, is 80,000 dollars,
as was advised parr telegraph to New York early this
week. Grenada Bonds have been nominally 174- to 18,1,
and Equador 34 to 4. Brazil St,ck is 88 to 90; and
Buenos Ayes 53 to 60. Spanish Five per Cents. have

GERMAiN Y.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 18th
states that the First Chamber had adopted a rosolu-
tion, expressing the wish that the Government should
in the course of the year bring under deliberation
the modifications in the tariff, and other measures
calculated to prevent the prejudice to Prussia arising
from the treaties of 1848 with Belgium and Holland.

It is stated, in a Berlin letter of the 16th, that the
troops of Baden are to be sent into the Marcnes and
Pomerania.

The 14.:Inpercr of AUSTRIA, by decree of the 15th,
authorises a radical reform in the code of criminal
proceedings.

The Council of Administration of Germany re-
solved on the 16tb, that on the 12th March its sittings
at Berlin shall cease, and be resumed on the 15th at
Erfurth. •

Toe Lloyds, the Wanderer, and other journals of
Vieum-, state positively that the Austrian Cabinet is
in negotiation with that of Bavaria for the promulga-
tion of a new constitution for all Germany.

SMITHrIELD.

Compared with that exhibited on Friday last, the
supply of Beasts on offer to-day was somewhut extensive;
but its general quality was by no means first-rate. As
the attendance of buyers was small, the Beef trade ruled
exceedingly heavy, and Monday's prices were with
difficulty supported—the extreme figure for the best
Scots being only 3s led per 81bs. The numbers o'
foreign stock, especially Calves, were considerably on the
inereare. Amongst them we noticed thirty oxen from
Spain, in excellent condition. There was a decided in-
crease in the arrivals of Sheep from the Midland
counties. On the whole, the demand for that descrip-
tion of stock was heavy, and the late improvement in
value was barely maintained. Calves ruled heavy, at a
fall in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. In Pigs, very
little business was transacted. Mulch Cows sold slowly,
at from 141. to 181. each, includilg their small calf.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. jus.
'ice ERLE and a Special Jury.)
DAUDNEY C. ',Hum

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attor-
ney, to recover 4301., the amount of a bill of costs, from
the defendant, a member of the provisional committee of
the Northampton, Lincoln, and Hull Railway Com-
pany, a scheme sot on foot in the year 1845, but which
eventually failed. The services performed by the plain-
tiff, in respect of which the action was brought,'consisted
principally in the service of the ordinary notices upon
landowners residing along the projected line of railway,
with a view to promoting a Bill before Parliament to
authorise the construction of the works.

On behalf of the defendant it was contended, that
there was ncthing to make him responsible, inasmuch
as it had been already decided that the mere circum-
stance of a person being a member of a provisioual com-
mittee was not of itself sufficient to render him liable
for any debts incurred on behalf of the company over
which that provisional committee presided.
On the other hand, evidence was given on the part of
the plaintiff to show that the bill had been handed to
the defendant personally, who, in reply, stated that al•
though he thought many of the charges were excessive,
still it was not the intention of the railway company to
contest it. In addition to this, it was proved also far
the plaintiff that the recognised attorney of the railway
eompany bad written to the plaintiff offering him 100/.
in full settlement of his claim.

Mr. Justice EaLE summed up the case.
The jury gave a ♦erdict for the plaintiff f)r the full
sum claimed, subject to the decision cif the Master, to
whom the bill was referred for taxation.
Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Whitehurst, and Mr. Hayes were
counsel for the plaintiff ; and the defendant was repre-
sented by Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Mellor.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day for the first time this session to
hear Scotch appeals. The Peers present were the Lord
Chancellor, Lord Crewe, and the new Bishop of Nor-
wich.
THE DUKE OF HAMILTON( AND BRANDON v. THE MA-
GISTRATE& AND TOWN COUNCIL OF THE BURGH OF
HAMILTON.

The case came before their Lordships upon appeal
from the decision of the second devision of the Court of
Session of Scotland, upon the case remitted to them by
the House of Lords in 1848. The principal question at
issue in the case related to the right of his
Grace the Duke of Hamilton and certain
other heritors of the parish of Hamilton to
obtain by means of a possessory action before the sheriff
a new division of the area of the church of Hamilton,
whereby the accommodation enjoyed by the respondents
in their corporate capacity for upwards of a century
Ras proposed to be altogether changed in its extent,
although no new church had been erected, but the old
one merely repaired and enlarged. In the first instance,
the Court of Session decided in favour of the magistrates
and town-council of Hamilton, and the House of Lords,
upon appeal from that decision, remitted the case back
to the Court of Session, which again came to the same
conclusion, and from that decision the Duke of Hamilton
appealed to this House.
Mr. Bethell, Mr. Stuart Wortley, and Mr. M'Neil wore
for the noble appellant, and Mr. Holt and Mr. Anderson
supported the judgment of the Court below.
The case appears likely to occupy the whole day.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
The Master of the Rolls did not sit in his Court in

of hating to attend the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council.

GERMANY.

The Prince of PRUSSIA has addressed a letter to
the KING, expressing satisfaction at the adoption of
the Constitution, and stating that he founds on it the
best hopes for the future.
The Prussian Government has addressed to its
Minister at Copenhagen an energetic note on the
reference made in the speech of the King of DEN.
MAIM, on the opening of the Chambers, to " a great
power from which the misled subjects of Schleswig •
Holstein might find support." This note com-
plains that such words, if applied to Prussia or
Germany, do not accord with the negotiations
entered into with them ; and it declares that the
negotiations would be broken off at once, if the com-
plicated situation of affairs did not cause it to be
feared that such a step might lead to a general war.
Nevertheless, it is stated that the negotiations be-
tween Denmark and Prussia are temporarily sus-
pended.
The Council of Administration of the restricted
Federal State of Germany has resolved to reject all
modifications in the Constitution of the 26th May,
and to present it to the Parliament of Erfurt as

From all parts of the country sad accounts are

HAMBURGN, FEB. 9.—The affair relative to the
assassination of Prince Licuriowsx.r and of General
AUEBSWOLD, as well as that relating to the
disorders which took place at Bockenheirn,
are to be tried by jury at the beginning
of next month. The number of the accused is seven-
teen, c f whom six are said to have taken part in the
murder. One of the accused deeply implicated gave
himself up voluntarily to the judicial authorities.
The preliminaries of the inquiry have presented very
great difficulties, for the accused have entrenched
themselves in a complete system of denial, and there
are some difficulties in obtaining the medical report,
which in the troubles and agitated times which fol-
lowed the perpetration of the crime, was made with
too much haste. The cruelty with which those
crimes were committed surpasses all descriptions
which were given by the public journals at the time.

London, England, 1850-02-14

the business, however, is by direct deliveries to the
merchants, owing to the active demand for spring
goods. There has constantly been a short supply ;
in fact, the stock has scarcely ever been so low as at
present.
HALIFAX, SATUEDAY.—AIthough we cannot report
that there has been to-day any increased animation in
our Piece Hall, yet we believe that there is a better
inquiry for fancy goods ; but the merchants will not,
in general, give prices commensurate with the current
rates for yarn, and the manufacturers being
very low in stock, are unwilling to execute orders,
except at improved prices. The demand for yarn
continues good, without any change in the quotations.
The wool market remains in the same quiet condition,
and prices have undergone no variation, but the
staplers seem disposed to sell more freely.
TITESDAII.—On account of the greater por-
tion of the business being done for order, very few
goods were brought to the cloth hall today, and not
much business done. Prices may be quoted a little
higher, and stocks are very low in the manufacturers'
hands. There is a good deal doing in the warehouses,
chiefly by the wholesale buyers.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—We have much plea-
sure in announcing the selection of Captain William
Honyman Henderson, C. 8., K.S.F. (1838), to suc-
ceed Captain Austin, C. 8., in the command of her
Majesty's ship Blenheim, 56, at this, port, and the
superintendence of the steam squadron on this station.
Captain Henderson is peculiarly qualified for the above
appointment, having had considerable experience in
the command of steamers, his last having been the
Sidon frigate. Whilst the officers of the Blenheim
regret the loss of Captain Austin, their regret is tem-
pered with satisfaction at the appointment of such a
successor, whose experience, zeal, urbanity, and hos-
pitality are so well known and properly estimated. •
The Sphynx steam-sloop, Commander C. F. N.
Chadvvell, is manned within a couple of dozen sea-
men, and will be ready to leave by•the end of the
present month for the East India station, touching at
Rio de Janeiro, to which place she will probably carry
a mail.

Captain Ramsay, late of the Terrible steam-frigate,
is named as likely to have the command of the Ajax
block -ship, now ready for commission.
This coast has been visited lately by some boistrous
gales, which only abated last night. Many ships have
beendriven in here in distress, among them the Dutch
ship Immagonda, with a valuable cargo ; a large
French merchant ship with loss of anchors, having
dragged from Spithead nearly to the - Woolsners, a
fatal shoal off Langston harbour. Lloyd's own ves-
sel, the. Navarin, was driven ashore on Southern-
beach, but happily without loss of life, and was ulti-
mately got"off without much damage below. These
are only a few of the casualties that have occurred
from the tempestuous state of the weather. Her Ma-
jesty's
ship Hercules, 7/, Master-Commander Fulton,
was the only vessel off this port that held on without
dragging or drifting, which is owing to her anchor
being a patent one.

SlR,—When a great people are about to determine
upon the adoption of any important national question
—either of a social, commercial, or political charac-
ter—it surely becomes the imperative duty of the
head of their Government not to be carried away by
the excitement of the moment or the urgency of the
case, but, calmly looking back on the page cf their
history, and to their pvriodica.l progress, deliberately
to point out the landmarks by which he proposes to
direct the movement with advantage to the State,
and the beacons by which he means to warn them of
their dangers in the onward marsh of the public
mind.

" INCORRIGIBLE CONVICTS.

"During the laatyear we have had three prisoners tried
for acts of violence towards turnkeys—one from Wool-
wich hulks, one from Milthank prison, and one from the
New Model Prison, Pentonville, They were each mur-
derous attempts, from vindictive motives, at personal
violence, and are strong indications of the depravity of
incorrigible convicts. It is apparent that the sentence
of transportation, carried out by separate confinement,
is not sufficient to deter these violent and rash
offenders. The only remedy for such mea is firm,
gentle, but rigorous imprisonment, with plenty of
occupation, with moderate opportunities for self-
reformation; not so such with a hope that they may be
really made available, as with a proper determination to
leave them without excuse. Amongst this class of
offenders were the extreme penalty against murder re-
laxed, the frequency of this heinous crime would be
frightfully multiplied.
" I have the honour to remain,
" My Lord ani Gentlemen,
• " Your- faithful and obedient servant,
" Jour; DAVIS, Ordinary."
Ordered, together with the report of the Rev. Mr.
Cohen, the chaplain of the Giitspur-street Compter,
upon the state of that prison, to -be printed.

GERMANY.

The Prince of PRUSSIA has addressed a letter to
the Kea, expressing satisfaction at the adoption of
the Constitution, and stating that he founds on it the
best hopes for the future.
The Prussian Government has addressed to its
Minister at Copenhagen an energetic note on the
reference made in the speech of the King of DEN-
MARK, on the opening of the Chambers, to " a great
power from which the misled subjects of Schleswig
Holstein might find support." This note com-
plains that such words, if applied to Prussia or
Germany, do not accord with the negotiations
entered into with them ; and it declares that the
negotiations would be broken off at once, if the com-
plicated situation of affairs did not cause it to be
feared that such a step might lead to a general war.
Nevertheless, it is stated that the negotiations be-
tween Denmark and Prussia are temporarily sus-
pended._ _ _

The Council of Administration of the restricted
Federal State of Germany has resolved to reject all
modifications in the Constitution of the 26th May,
and to present it to the Parliament of Erfurt as
drawn up.
The Breslau) Gazette states that Prince Wm-
DISCIIGRATZ, who has recently returned to Vienna, is
to be charged with the new organisation of Hungary,
as the old Conservative party of the Magyars have
confidence in him. It is added, that the Government
intends to maintain the integrity of the Hungarian
territory, and to endeavour to make the kingdom a
barrier to the progress of democracy.
From all parts of the country sad accounts are
recei►ed of the inundation. At Presburg the water
attained a greater height than was known in the
memory of man ; the whole city and environs are
one vast sheet of water; the streets are traversed by
boats.

The Lloyd states that his MAJESTY, though con-
fined to his bed for three days, is now convalescent,
his attack having been a severe cold.
On the 10th the tipper Chamber of Prussia elected,
according to the constitution of the Prussian Bund,

communicate i to the members that a gentleman, as a
deputation from the committee of the National Exhibi-
tion in London, had a few days previously visited Ox-
ford for the purpose of inviting the members of the

expression of their approbation of the proposed exhibi-
tion in the British capital of the works of industry of all
nations of the world. A subscription was accordingly
commenced among the members of the Ashmolean So-

impossible. It would be most unfair to impose upon the
elected guardians the payment of the debts contracted
by paid guardians, and he hoped the Noble Marquis
would give him an assurance that such should not be the
case. He hoped that he might be enabled to indnce her
Majesty's Government to give their attention to the
system of vice.guardians in Ireland. No system could
have worked in a worse manner; it enabled three com-
missioners to send out two vice guardians to any union
to levy rates without the consent of any elected guardians
to any amount. It was a system of tyranny, and of
profusion, and of abuse.
