MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE W
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool for the week up to
yesterday evening were 36,900 bales, the demand having
been moderate. Stock, 852,000 bales.—Shares were
quoted as follows :—Direct Northern 48s ; Eastern
Counties, 13i ; Grand Junction, New Quarter, 14i ;
Harwich, 1/. 75. 9d. ; Liverpool and Manchester, Half,

The return of the Bank of England to Oct. 26 does
not show any important fluctuation. The circulation
has been reduced to the extent of 186,180/., being now
27,545,7301., and in the banking department there has
been a slight increase in the Rest, viz, 3,3541. The
public deposits are again less, having been reduced from
3,965,1961. to 3,556,646/. There is an increase in the
bullion to the banking department of 629,4741.
The letters received from Brussels and Antwerp this
morning state that the application for allotments of the
New Belgian Two-and-a-half per Cents., contracted by
the Messrs. Rothschild, very far exceeded the amount
that was in the hands of the agents of the contractors
for distribution.

A strong desire was shown to hold this stock, as it is
not by any means improbable that ere long the Govern-
ment of Leopold will do, as our Finance Minister has
done here, reduce the interest on the Five per Cents.
It would appear that there is every prospect that some
of the more material terms of the contract, as remitted
from Rome to Madrid, for the marriage of the Queen
of Spain to the son of Don Carlos, will be vetoed by the
Chambers—more especially those which would place on
the debt an immense amount of expenditure incurred by
the Carlist revolution and the value of church property
sold. That the marriage will take place, however, there
appears no doubt, if the most accurate accounts from the
Spanish capital are worthy of full credit.
Consols opened rather flatly to -day, but this has been so
broken a week that the attendance in the market is very
limited, and, therefore, affords no criterion. The quo-
tations are 994 to par for Money, and par to Dm* for
Account. Exchequer Bills have been 68s. to 655. pre-
mium, and India Bonds 90s. premium. Bank Stock is
firmer, being 204 to 2043-. The New Three-and-a-

Three per Cents. 994 to 98j. Long Annuities are
11 15-16 to 12,
The Foreign investments have been quiet, but Spanish
are higher, the Five per Cents. being 234 and the
Three per Cents. 35-4- -a. Portuguese Converted Stock
has been 53 to 521. Mexican Bonds are 341, and Bra-
zilian 85i. French Three per Cent. Rentes obtain 82f.
50c., the exchange being 25f. 55c. Dutch Five per
Cents. are 981 to 99.
There is rather a lively market for Railway Shares,
and some fluctuation has occurred, The old lines have
advanced in some instances, but there are also a few
cases of decline.

SECOND AND THIRD-CLASS RAILWAY PASSEN-
GERS.-Mr. Baxendale, the Chairman of the Dover
Railway Company, having been asked by Lord Gran-
ville Somerset, one of the most active and intelligent
members of the Select Committee on Railways, whether
it had never struck him that " it would be necessary to
raise the price of the third-class fares, as a means of
prohibition against
persons who ought to go into a se-
cond-class carriage taking a third ?" replied, " No,
never ; not from that motive. It was only yesterday
that I was speaking on this particular point, and I said
that we have no right to judge, because a man wore a
good coat and a good hat, that the man's purse was equal
to pay a high or a low rate ; there are many that have
sufficient pride to wish to look well in the world, and
who have not the wherewithal to pay very liberally,"--

ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION

OF

GENERAL NARVAEZ

AND

BARON DE MEER.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM SPAIN.

(From the Mornin► Herald.)

We have received by Extraordinary Expresses from
Bayonne and Perpignan, the following important in
telligence from Madrid and Barcelona :
" MADRID, OCT. 27.

" A fresh conspiracy has been discovered. General
Narvaez was to have been assassinated at the entrance
of the French embassy, where he dined.
"General Prim was arrested this morning. Other
arrests were made last night and this morning.
"BARCELONA, OcT. 27.

" Four hundred or five hundred persons, with the
bonnet-rouge, asembled on the Rambla, and sur-
rounded the Alcade and his deputy, who were soon
rescued by the Mosos of the Foreign Legion.
" Other troops arrived, and the rioters were
dispersed. The Baron de Meer, on leaving the
theatre, proceeded on foot along the Rambla, and a
number of persons were arrested, after two officers of
the police being stabbed."

ANOTHER LEITER.

" BARCELONA, OCT. 27.

"At eight o'clock two assassins were arrested,
at the moment of their making an attempt
on the life of Baron de Meer; but these men were
rescued from the guard who were conducting them
to the Ataranzanus, by a mob consisting of at least five
hundred men.

PARIS, FRIDAY, FIVE o'CLocx.
Holiday here to-day. No Bourse; at the passage
Rent dull at 81 80. No news whatsoever.

(From the Times.)

" MADRID, OCT. 27.

" A fresh conspiracy has just been discovered.
General Narvaez was to have been assassinated at
the gate of the French Embassy, where he dined.
General Prim was arrested this morning. Other ar-
rests were made last night and this morning."
" BARCELONA, OCT. 27.

" At eight o'clock this afternoon two assassins
were arrested at the moment they were about to at-
tack the Baron de Meer, who was alighting from his
carriage at the theatre. They were rescued from the
guard which was escorting them to the Atarazanas
by a mob, consisting of at least 500 armed men."
"BARCELONA, OCT. 28.

"Four or five hundred persons, wearing red caps
on their heads, proceeded to the Rambla, and seized
upon the Alcade and his deputy, who were rescued
by the Mosos of the Foreign Legion. Other
troops arrived and the rioters were dispersed. The
Baron de Mcer, on leaving the theatre, proceeded
along the Rambla. Forty persons were arrested
Two officers and a gendarme were stabbed with
knives.

" The result of this attempt is not calculated to
encourage the disaffected."

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The long vacation concluded yesterday, and
Michaelmas Term commenced to-day. The Lord
Chancellor was waited upon at his house, in George-
street, llanover-square, shortly after eleven, by the
Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, and several
members of the Corporation, when his Lord-
ship signified her Majesty's approval of him for
Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. His
Lordship afterwards, as is usual at Michael-
mas and Easter Term., entertained the Judges,
Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel, at
breakfast, and then, accompanied by the Learned
Judges, proceeded in State to Westminster to
open the Courts. The Lord Chancellor took
his seat about half-past one o'clock, attended by the
Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor of England,
the Vice-Chancellors Wigram, and Masters Sir G.Wil-
son and Duckworth. It was understood that the Vice
Chancellor Knight did not attend his Lordship in
consequence of there being no place in which he
could sit. Surely at the present time, when the
House of Commons is not sitting, the two
Committee-rooms that have hitherto been devoted to
the new Vice-Chancellors might again be placed at
their disposal, instead of subjecting the bar to the
inconvenience, in the first place, of one judge not
sitting, and in the next of compelling them,
amid the drenching rain, to cross from the courts
at Westminster Hall to the Sessions-house. On the
Lord Chancellor taking his seat, Mr. Hilyard and
Mr. Thickust, on being appointed Queen's counsel,
were called by his Lordship within the bar.
The COURT then heard appeal motions. The aprce
of Toledo v. Vieta was postponed to a future da y
The Court then proceeded with other appeals, at d
rose shortly after three o'clock.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The VIOE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND took his seat
in his Court at Westminster, shortly after half-past
one o'clock, and proceeded to hear motions, none o.
which possessed any points of public interest.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
This being the first day of Michaelmas Term the
Judges did not take their seats upon the bench until
one o'c'ock.

LOCKWOOD V. WOOD.
TOLLS OF EASINGWOLD MARKET AND FAIR.

This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, the
proprietor of Easingwold market and fair, to recover
certain stallage from the defendant, who had erected a
stall in the market-place of Easingwold. The defendant
pleaded that the inhabitants of Easingwold were free
from stallage. The case has been frequently
argued, and tried more than once—the point
to be decided being whether the exemption of the in-
habitants from toll, which was admitted to exist, in-
cluded also an exemption from stallage. The last
occasion in which it was tried was at York, before the
Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was returned for
the defendant.

Mr. WATSON now applied for a rule nisi to set
aside the verdict and enter a verdict for the plaintiff,
or for a new trial, on the grounds, first, that there
was no evidence to support the verdict : secondly,
that the verdid was contrary to evidence ; and
thirdly, that there had been misdirection on the part
of the Learned Judge.—Rule nisi granted.

IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES BESSET-HABEAS CORPUS.

Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a writ of habeas corpus
directed to the Keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter,
to bring up the body of Charles Besset, who was de-
tained under the provisions of the extra-tradition
treaty with France. Several points would arise
as to the construction of the Act of Parliament.
The case had been already heard at Chambers, and
the Judge had directed application to the full court.
Lord DENMAN—You had better take your writ at
once.—Application granted.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Justice Patteson took his seat on the bench
shortly after one o'clock.

WEBSTER V. CHANDLER.

Sir J. BAYLEY moved in this case for an inter-
pleader rule on behalf of the defendant, calling on the
plaintiff and one James Gibson to state the
nature of their claims to the Galloway
stakes. It appeared that the defendant was the
steward of those races, and held a sweepstakes of 141.,
which was run for in three heats, between Fairy
Queen, belonging to Mr. Gibson, and Hopping Kate,
belonging to the plaintiff. Fairy Queen came in
first twice, and Hopping Kate second. The owner of
the latter horse, however, claimed the stake, on the
ground that Fairy Queen was disqualified. The objecZ.
which the defendant had in making this application
was to prevent his being sued by both parties.
Mr Justice PATTESON at first doubted whether the
Court could interfere where the stakes were under
501., but on looking over the statute he found that the
Act of 13 George 11. was repealed by the 3d and 4th
Vict., and granted the rule.
