MANCHESTER, AUG. 22.

OrsoK nba OWII COIL- RESPOI4DSST.)
The general appearance of our market to-day, not-
withstanding `the comparatively, small quantity of goods
which is now made, has not been so good as last
week. Up to the present time the shipping houses
of this place have generally held a•stock of goods
ready for any order which they might receive, but
they now seem to act upon an entirely different prin-
ciple,no purchases of goods for
viz. that of making
which they have
,not any positive orders, and hence,
their capital is by this means completely withdrawn
from our markets. Our manufacturers, therefore,
under these circumstances, become the entire Capi
NlistS, inasmuch as they are now obliged to find money
for Material and labour, and also hold their stocks;
and as these stocks cannot be heavy in consequence
or the very limited means of the holders, we are, there-
fort,- of • opinion that should a revival of the home
trade take place, an advance in prices will necessarily

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(T us Div.)

His LORDSHIP:6M in his room to-day. The first mat-
ter he beard was the application respecting Lady Gresley,
but no person having been admitted during the hearing
but the parties concerned, nothing was made public.

• COLMORE V. BIRMINGHAM CANAL COMPANY.
The application for an injunction in this case, on behalf
of the plaintiff, was again renewed en-day, after notice
given. The plaintiff contracted to sell part of her garden
ground to the defendants, for the purpose of carrying their
line of canal through : beyond that piece of ground there
was a nook of land, also belonging to the plaintiff, through
which it was necessary to carry the line of canal, but
which had not been contracted for, and when the works
got to that spot, a compensation for it was tendered to
the plaintiff, but which she refused to accept, and moved
for the present injunction to prevent the works going on.
Mr. HART, for the defendants, said the application pro-
ceeded from a quarrel between the agents of the parties,
and that in point of merit the motion was totally without
foundation, the works having proceeded ever since
February last until the present moment. •
His LORDSHIP did not think it necessary that the
Counsel for the plaintiff should reply. The principles
upon which the Court granted injunctions in cases of this
sort were so well understood, that it was almost absurd
to ask for an injunction in the present instance. He
would therefore refuse it, without prejudice to any appli-
cation for a compensation for the land, or an issue re-
specting it.
