.-0n Monday the So-
liciTourz-GießniesrlailrTeAsTu.EmeT.dßihTaddress in opposing the
motion of Mr. 11 inteside.for a new trial, and stated
that all that had been said in support of obtaining a
new trial was mere repetition. of the arguments put
forward on the motion to quash the panel. Mr.
Whiteside contended that the omission of those names
was the result of fraud or deign, and not accident.
Now he would say, that whatever ground there might
be to apply the fraud to the other side, there was
none that could in the slightest degree attach it to
the Crown. He did not say that the traversers, or
anyone was guilty of fraud, but when
ach arg acting foreoftheki then, was
made, and that it was sought
to apply it to those acting on the part of the Crown,
he had a right to retort, and say that if fraud existed
at all it was much more applicable to the other side.
There was not the slightest ground to show that the
omission of the names was the result of fraud or con-
trivance. After tiring the bench and the audience
with a long- heavy speech, he intimated that he could
not conclude his argument till next day, and the
Court adjourned at four o'clock. It would be diffi-
cult to point out any trial during which so many
long-winded speeches have been made. The Counsel
for the Crown seem to vie with the traversers in
making these monster trials utterly ridiculous.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday
were 3,000 bales, 400 being taken on speculation. Prices
were tolerably steady.—Shares had a good tone, and a fair
business was done. Birmingham and Gloucester were 95 ;

We are glad to observe from the monthly Manches-
ter report of Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor, that
there has been a quiet but fair business done in
most descriptions of our staple manufactures, and
that although prices have declined a little, the raw material
being also lower, the position of the spinner and manufac-
turer is not perhaps worse than last month. In the Cotton
yarn market a considerable business is stated to have been
done for India, China, the Mediterranean, and the Levant.
Large quantities of the better dais have.been taken, being
relatively cheaper for India and Greek account. The German
buyers, however, have been withholding their orders, in ex-
pectation of a further decline. Some geed contracts have
been entered into for Russian account. There needs but con-
fidence, the writers observe, to ensure a large export demand
for cotton yarns and manufactures.
There is much more activity in the produce markets, and
the dealers having kept themselves very bare of stock under
an apprehension of changes in the duties, are now coming
forward freely to phrehase most of the leading staples, and
the importers are paying duties to a greater extent than for
some weeks past.
The Stock Exchange being closed, as usual, on May-day,
we have nothing to report of the funds.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY).
The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to-
day.

TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE BIRMLNG-
HAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.—JUDG3IENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in the
motion in this case, affirming the decision of the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England, granting an injunction restraining the Bir-
mingham and Gloucester Railway Company from proceeding
with their works.

THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ELY V. ELISS.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case,
which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision
of the Master of the Rolls. His Lordship observed that the
question before the Court turned almost entirely upon the
construction of the late Act of Limitations, the 3d and 4th
William IV., chapter 27 ; and,the question arising out of that
Act of Parliament was d question of great public im-
portance, namely, whether that Act related, as far as
tithes were concerned, to estates between, adverse claimants
of the estates and the tithes, or whether it extended
to cases between the tithe-ownerand the cccupier of theland.
His Lordship, after going at some length into the arguments
that had been adduced before him, and the facts of the case,
observed that he could not help thinking that if. he was to
pronounce a decision on the construction of the Act of Par-
liament adverse to the opinion. pronounced by the Master of
the Rolls, that the consequence inevitably would be, from the
nature of subject, its importance, and extensive opera-
tion, that the matter would go further, and a great expense
and loss of time would take place. His Lordship thought,
therefore, considering this as a mere question of law, of con-
struction of a statute, that would be most extensive in its
operation, and that it might affect the decision of the Tithe
CoramizSionerS; who had put A coustructim oiz the Act
