STATE OF TRADE.—LIVERPOOL.—For the last few
weeks there has been a downward tendency in this mar•
ket for all the important articles of consumption, and
although the rate of discount has continued at a very
low standard, and money exceedingly plentiful, yet
merchants have had to endure the annoyance of submit-
ting to lower prices on each succeeding operation. Cot-
ton, the most important article in our trade, has caused
heavy losses in some quarters. Prices are now about
twenty-five per cent. lower than they were on the Ist of
March last, when we had a stock of 620,000 bales, of
which fully one-third had been taken by speculators in
the first two months of the year. This stock has gra-
dually gone on augmenting, and the difference in its
value on the prices of the Ist of March, and its present
worth in the market, may fairly be estimated at about
one million sterling, no mean sum to be divided among
the unfortunate holders, of whom a great proportion
were mere adventurers. We might make similar com-
parisons to the above, with respect to sugar, coffee, rum,
tobacco, some descriptions of oils, and other articles ;
and if the result was seen at one glance, the total losses
occasioned by the depreciation in value on produce, since
the Ist of March, would be very much augmented. Not-
withstanding the rapid fall in prices, there is no dis-
position to speculate.—Liverpool Mercury.
JUDGES' CHANIBERS.-011 Friday it was understood
at the Judges' Chambers that Mr. Justice Maxie, the
only Judge in town during the vacation, had made about
300 orders for the discharge of persons who were con-
fined for debts not exceeding 20/., and that daily appli-
cations are made ex parte for the liberation of debtors
incarcerated in the prisons of England and \Vales. It
should be known that debtors detained on Courts of Re-
quests' warrants need not to wait until the Court out of
which the judgment was obtained should be opened, but
they can apply by affidavit to a Judge of one of the supe-
rior courts at chambers. A case was brought before Mr.
Justice Maule on Thursday of a person who had been in
Wilton gaol, Somersetshire, for fifteen months, on a debt
of 2/. 6s. 71Td., the law costs on which amounted to 5!.
He was discharged under the new Act. By some strange
omission in the new Act the remands of insolvents for
debts under 201. have been rendered inoperative, and
other insolvents, whose cases were adjourned on ac-
count of gross misconduct, have got out of prison under
the new Act. Two cases of peculiar hardship have oc-
curred. An insolvent was remanded for six months for
a flagrant case of vexatiously defending an action for a
debt of 191., and on his application to be discharged it
was urged that it would be a monstrous perversion of
justice to let suck a person escape. The Learned Judge,
however, made the order, leaving the party to any re-
medy he might possess. In the other case an insolvent
refused to give up possession of some premises to the
landlord ; he, however, obtained his discharge under the
new Act, retaining possession of the property from the
owner.

DINNER TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH-DAY OF THE
DUCHESS OF KENT.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY.-A public
dinner, to which upwards of fifty of the most influential
inhabitants of Old and New Windsor sat down, was
given at the Hope Inn, Frogmore, yesterday evening ; a
splendid buck having been presented for the occasion
by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, whose
birth-day the large party had assembled to celebrate.
The chair was filled by John Clode, jnn., Esq. The first
toast ;was " The Queen," which was drank with all the
honours, a royal salute being fired at the same time from
a battery erected in the gardens. The chairman, in
proposing the health of the Duchess of Kent, paid her
Royal Highness a well-deserved compliment for the
exercise of unbounded charity in the neighbourhood of
Windsor, since her Royal Highness had come to reside
amongst them ; thus following in the footsteps of her
revered relative, the late Princess Augusta. The toast
was drank with the greatest enthusiasm. The health of
" Prince Albert," " The Queen Dowager," " The Prince
of Wales, and the junior branches of the Royal Family,"
" The Duke of Cainbrige, the High Steward of the
borough, and the remaining branches of the Royal
Family," " Sir George Couper, Comptroller of the
Duchess of Kent's Household," and several other toasts
having been drank, the company retired shortly after
nine o'clock. Sir George Couper arrived from Frog-
more House shortly before dinner was served, to inspect
the arrangements which had been made in the house
and grounds of the Hope Inn, to celebrate the auspicious
event.

A MODERATE APFETITE.-..A. few days ago Thomas
Ford, a spare looking man, in the garb of a keelman,
went into an eating-house in the Broad Chare, in this
town, and at his own request was supplied with three-
peony worth of cooked meat. After the lapse of an hour
the landlord's daughter looked in upon him, and she al-
most imagined the poor man was troubled with a stomach
complaint, as he appeared still to be labouring hard at
his original supply. Another hour nearly expired, when
Mr. Ford, having settled all demands, took his depar-
ture, but without exhibiting any improvement in his
physical condition. Immediately afterwards it was dis-
covered that a leg of lamb had disappeared, and a few
remains in the room, probably too large to swallow, left
no doubt that it was irrecoverably lost to its owner. A
short time afterwards Mr. Ford was discovered in a
neighbouring public-house washing down his dinner with
a pot of beer. Mr. Ford is at present confined for four-
teen days, not because the lamb did not agree with him,
but because the magistrates thought he bad eaten too
much; but we have no doubt at the conclusion of that
time, he will be quite willing to convince any one of the
extent of his power who may doubt the truth of this
story.—Newcastle Advertiser.
A Sheriff's officer (says a Scotch paper), on going
last week to execute a writ at some dye-works at Govan,
Glasgow, was thrown into a vat, and died in conse-
quence.—[Query, dyed in consequence 7]
REASONABLE CAUSES.--Lord Frankfort has no
music in his soul. Treasons, stratagems, and spoils en-
gage his thoughts to the entire exclusion of all sympathy
with Italian organs. The march in Norma raises his
lordly bile, and " Gently o'er my senses stealing" throws
him into a paroxysm of fury. At the Marylebone
police-office, on Saturday last, one of the vagrant min-
strels was charged with giving Lord Frankfort " ex-
cess of music," with the charitable intention of sur-
feiting an appetite that has already sickened and died.
The crime was established ; the boy—one Dforangi—
continued his " eternal demnition grind," as Mr. Man-
tilini calls it, and refused to "move on" at any price.
The Magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, declared the boy's con-
duct " very scandalous," and, searching the Police Act
for an adequate punishment, found that he might fine
him forty shillings if he refused to go away for any
"reasonable cause." But there was the rub. What was
reasonable? A Magistrate could not be supposed to
judge of such things ; we have every day evidence of
their embarrassment when appeals are made to the un-
derstanding. It is specified in the Act, b' way of exam-
ple, that
.sickness in a house is a reasonable ground for
chasseeing itinerant musicians—but all the rest is left
to conjecture ; and magisterial conjecture is the most
absurd thing under Heaven that our Legislators could
trust to ; judge-made law is bad enough, but magiste-
rially-constructed punishment is a farce. Mr. Rawlin-
son declared that the boy's conduct was " scandalous"—
ergo, it was " reasonable" to expect him to desist, or be
punished for perseverance. But that would have been
too rational for the usages of the beech ; so the magis-
trate " discharged" the youth, and
he may now repeat
his " very scandalous" behaviour with impunity, to the
intense annoyance of the music-hating Lord.—Atlas.
PILCHARD FISHERY.—PERRAN PORTII.—The Cob-
ler's scan, at this place, shot on Monday last, and in-
closed a fine shoal of pilchards ; but being unfortunately
short of hands, they were unable to draw the whole on
shore, and only fifty hogsheads were secured, which
were very fine fish.— West Briton.
IMPORTANT TO SOLICITORS.—In the Crown Court
at Wells, on Saturday week, the 'lon. P. P. Bouverie,
foreman of the Grand Jury, complained that that body
had been detained both that day and the day before for
want of bills. Mr. Justice Patteson replied that he knew
such to be the case, and had been given to understand
that it arose from the neglect of attornies sending in their
instructions. If he attended this circuit again, he would
' make an order that if the bills were not prepared within
a certain time (when the delay originated with the attor-
nies), he would not allow them their expenses.—Somer-
set County Gazette.
