MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day at very fall prices. Speculators took 1,500 bales Ame-
rican, and exporters 500 ; the total sales being 8,000 bales,
viz., 150 Pernam at ad. to 6d., 50 Bahia at sid., 240 Ma-
ranham at 50, 60 Egyptian at bid. to 7d., 200 Surat at 3d.
to 3id., and the rest American at 3id. to sid. per lb.—
Shares were on the whole rather dull, Birmingham and
Grand Junction being, however, again firmer. Birmingham
and Gloucester, 92 ; Caledonian, 3i ; Chesterand Holyhead,

The result of the debate in the House of Commons on the
second reading of the Bank Charter Bill has been the subject
of much conversation in the City this morning, and many
complaints are made that the Government will not concede
two of the points so much asked for, namely, an extension of
the amount of the issues of notes by the Bank of
England upon securities, and a more liberal mark
as to the amount of the issue by the country baakers.
However, almost all hope is given up that in Committee
there will be any material alteration in the principle of the
measure as at first brought forward by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer.
A large amount of merchandise has been cleared for home
consumption yesterday and to -day. The river, the docks,
and the reyenue departments of Customs and Excise, are in
a most bustling state. The receipts this week have been
almost unprecedented, and what' is the more satisfactory,
is the fact, that the purchases, in the majority of instances,
have been bona fide and not in time bargains.
We are without any arrivals of interest this morning. The
rig to raise the wind by the Financial Minister of Madrid
has failed, according to our letters received to-day, from
thence, although in a place like that, one scheme soon fol-
lows another.
The Exchange from Hamburgh comes over at 13 61,
being rather lower, and the price of gold at 4351.
Not a great deal of business was done in the Consol Market
this morning. The price for the Account touched 98i at one
time, but the general rate has been 988. The Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been done at two per cent. above par ;
Long Annuities at 12 7-16ths ; and Reduced Three per Cents.
at 988 4. The premium on Exchequer Bills has advanced to
755. Bank Stock left off yesterday at 194. It has just been
sold at 1971.
This is the settling day for the half-month in the Foreign
House, and, as money is very easy, all has gone off well as
yet. Spanish may be quoted a shade better, the Three
Cents. having touched 344 ; and the Five per Cents.
22j for the end of the month. Dutch and Belgian
Bonds are firm. Portuguese Five per Cents. are worth 78.
Mexican are flat at 338 ; and Colombiafi ex Venezuelan at
12i -f. A bargain was made in Russian at 118.
The London and Birmingham Railway Shares have rallied
this morning from 112 to 118 premium, but this value has
since gone back to 116 premium. The New Shares com-
mand 34, and the Quarters ditto, 22i premium. In general,
the Railway Share Market looks buoyant, but not many real
transactions have yet been reported.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
Lord Denman sat at Nisi Prius this morning with a
Middlesex Common Jury. No case of any importance came
on during the morning. In the case of the Queen v. Timson,
a verdict of acquittal was taken without going into the case
for the prosecution.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
THE ALLEGED ROBBERY AT BUCKINGHAM

PALACE.

At the sitting of the Court this morning,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that in the case of the
prisoners Lindsays, who were yesterday tried and acquitted,
they having been charged with committing a robbery at
Buckingham Palace, to • other indictments had- been pre-
ferred, but as the object of the prosecution had been to have
the facts of the case publicly and thoroughly investigated, he
Fonsideredthat he would be but exercising a sound discretion
in not proceeding with evidence upon the other indictments
against the prisoners.
The prisoners were then removed into the New Court,
where, by the direction of the Learned Judge, the jury re-
turned a verdict of Not Guilty, against them, and they were
immediately afterwards discharged.
THE MURDER AT BATTERSEA.
Augustus Dahlias, who stands charged with the murder of
Sarah Eleanor M'Farlane, on the night of the 29th of April
last, by cutting her throat upon Battersea-bridge, was now
brought into Court and placed at the bar. The prisoner has
much improved in appearance since his confinement. He
looked very confident, and listened with great attention
while the indictment was being read over ; and while the So-
licitor-General opened the case to the jury, he paid the most
marked attention to every statement advanced by the Learned
Gentleman. He was very neatly dressed in a blue frock-.
coat, buttoned to the chin.
The Soiacrron-GEINEnaL said that it would be necessary
for him to entreat the jury's patient deliberation to the very
heavy charge which was 'preferred against the prisoner. He
was quite aware that they knew their duty too well, not to
discard any preconceived opinions, which they might be in-
clined to receive from the statements which had appeared
from time to time in the public prints. He begged to remind
them that the prisoner at the bar was a Frenchmai, who was
a widower, with four daughters; and during the life of his
wife, used to live next door to the female Sarah Eleanor
M`Farlane, into whose death they were that day to inquire.
After his wife's death, an affection of the most ardent cha-
racter seemed to have sprung up between the prisoner and
deceased; and it would be part of his duty to put certain
letters before the Court, which were written in the most
affectionate terms, the prisoner in them frequently address-
ing her as his " dearest Sarah." The Learned Gentle-
marl then briefly recapitulated the chief features of
