MONEY AND COMMERCIAL EY‘ S.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 8,000 bales
at full rates ; 1,000 bales were on speculation, and 400 for
export. The sales included 200 bales Egyptian at 6%d. to
7d., 200 Pernam at 54d. to 6d., 350 Surat at 3d. to 31d., and
the rest principally American at 4d. to 54d. A good business
was done in English, but very little in French railways.

Accounts from Gibraltar state that in the transit of British
manufactured goods from thence into Spain, a very consider-
able falling off was observable, not arising from any more
favoured competitor being in the market, but from the inabi-
lity of the people in that country, who have for years re-
ceived their supplies from "The Rock," to adjust old respon-
sibilities. There were reports that the French had been
committing serious atrocities at Algiers.
The bold manner in which Sir Robert Peel spoke out last
night relative to the indignities offered to the British Consul
at Otaheite by the French authorities, self-dubbed " the
Protectorate," of Queen Pomare, has given much satisfaction
among political and monied men in the City. Such petty
annoyances to those in friendly relations with Great Britain,
on the part of the French, put one in mind (as an old mer-
chant has just remarked to us) of the celebrated painting of
Landseer, as exemplified by the portraits of two dogs—under
the title of " Dignity and Impudence."

There are not any colonial arrivals of late dates, this
morning.

The —Commissioners took 10,000/. Consols this morning,
at 99a. The Otaheite business has had a most trifling influ-
ence. The correct value of Consols for Money is now 99a ; the
same for the Account. In the cther funds the variations
have been slight to-day.
In the Foreign Bonds, the transactions have been but few.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted at 22a ; Mexican
at 36} a; Brazilian at 84k; and the Dutch Five per Cents.
at a fall from 1014 to 10Ih.
The Railway Shares in most instances continue to advance.

UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Hinds, a surgeon residing in Park-street, near the
Borough-market, was brought up in the custody of police-
constable, M 100, on a charge of being drunk and disorderly,
and being utterly incapable of taking care of himself.
Mr. TRAM. said it was lamentable to see a person in the
station of life in which Mr. Hinds moved in so degrading a
situation.

Mr. Brady, a surgeon, informed the Magistrate that he was
certain the unfortunate gentleman at the bar was utterly in-
capable of managing his own affairs. Up to Christmas last
a more amiable and excellent man never existed, but since
that period, from some cause or other unknown to him,
he had given way to constant habits of intemparance. It
was only yesterday that he, Mr. Grady, saw Mr. Hinds in a
most excited state, with a crowd of twenty people round him,
and drinking with a common pot-boy.
Mr. TRAILL said it would be a mercy to place the de-
dendant under restraint by his friends, for he was killing
himself by inches ; he had become an habitual drunkard, and
would soon be an inmate of a lunatic asylum.
Mr. Hinds uttered several incoherent sentences while at
the bar, and it was evident to all that his mind was seriously
affected.

Mr. TRAILL said Mr. Hinds must find bail for three months
in the sum of 201.

Bail having been accepted, the defendant was liberated.
:t is the intention of his friends to place him in an asylum.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
• A decently-dressed, middle-aged woman, applied to the
Magistrate for his advice in the following case :
She said a distraint for rent had been put into the house in
which she occupied a room, and although she had paid her
rent to the utmost farthing her goods had been included
in the distraint, the person who rents the house not having
furniture worth more than 305., and the claim of the landlord
for rent being above 71. She added, that her late hus-
band's friends had purchased the few things she possessed
only a few days ago, as they were desirous of making her
comfortable during her accouchement, which she expected to
take place every day.
Mr. BURRELL said her case was a very hard one, but all
the furniture in the house was liable to be distrained on for
rent. He regretted he could not assist, and advised her to go
to the landlord of the house, and throw herself upon his
kindness.

"The poor woman, who seemed quite broken-hearted at her
misfortune—no light misfortune to the poor and helpless—
thanked the Magistrate and withdrew.

Ellen Mortimer, a pretty young Irishwoman, apparently in
delicate health, applied to the Magistrate for relief: She said
her child lay dead, at a house in which she lodged, in Maiden-
head-court. It had been ill for many days and nights,
and that she had been unremitting in her attentions to it
until it died yesterday morning. " I (added the young
woman) have not a candle or a bit of fire, and I am in great
distress."
Mr. Thomas, the relieving officer, who was in the Court'at the
time, said she had been in the receipt of out-door relief for
some months past. She had been in the workhouse, in
which the child was born, but voluntarily discharged herself.
She had received bread and other nourishing articles for
some time past, and had she applied yesterday to him, he
would, as usual, have afforded her relief. She should have
relief if she applied to him on Saturday next.
The applicant said Mr. Thomas had always been kind to
here—She then left the Court.
