Wareham, for bribery at the late election, was tried at the Ox-
ford Assizes, at the beginning of the week, and a verdict re-
turned of " Not guilty" of the same.
William Tuckett, shopman to Messrs. Bourne and Son,
furriers, of Regent-street, was Enally examined on Friday at

and fully committed.
Robert Cassidy, whose name was lately connected with the
extraordinary scandal case in Paris, and whom Forrester, the

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Suss of Saturday Evening.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MA.RKET, MARCH 11.—Cotton has
been dull, but can hardly be quoted lower this week. In the
better sorts of American there is no tendency to decline, but
the middling and inferior kinds are so abundantly offered, that
perhaps they may be considered a point down. We leave the
scale of quotations as before. There continues to be a fair
demand for export, and it will be observed that speculators
have purchased so large a proportion during the week as to
leave only about 20,000 bales for the trade ; 4,200 American
have been taken on speculation; and 1,550 American,: 400
Surat, and 500 Peruvian for export. The sales to-day were to
a moderate extent, but there was a great want of animation in
the market. The supply was abundant, and prices remain as
last noticed ; 4,000 bales met with purchasers.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, MARCH 11.—Little business
was done in Railway Stock this day ; the market dull and
heavy, and prices rather depressed. The sales comprised
Eastern Counties debentures, 101. 145. 2d. ; New, 365. 3d. ;
Great North of England, titi ; Manchester and Leeds, New,
33i ; Great Western Halves, 611; Fifths, 9i ; Grand Junction

MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 11.—With
the exception of Eastern Counties Old Shares, Debentures,
and New Easterns, Manchester and Leeds,, Bolton and Bury,
and Manchester and Birmingham, for which we have had a
good inquiry, the market has b.en inactive and little business
dose.—Edinburgh and Glasgow, 43,4; New Eastern C.,unties,

The merchants assembled at the North and South American
Coffee-house, and all other public establishments in the City
have been busily engaged, during the whole of the morning.
in discussing the Financial project brought forward by Sir
Robert Peel last night. On a measure embracing such a variety.
of details considerable differences of opinion may be naturally
expected to arise, but, upon the whole, the principal involved
has met with general approval. It has not had the least effect
upon the Stock Markets at present.
Consols are 89A Money, and 891 for the Account; Ex-
chequer Bills, 29 31 prem.
Just after the close of business last night it was reported that
the Thames stesm-ship from the West Indies and Mexico has
brought over 100,000 dollars from the Mexican Government
for the purpose of paying dividends, in consequence of which
Mexican Bonds rose to 3914, being an advance of full one per
cent., but upon inquiry this morning it turns out to be incor-
rect, and the Bonds3B havedeclinedspani

FATAL AND MIILA'NCITOLT ACCIDENT.-011 Tues-
day morning last, the Sth inst., William Robinson Hind, son
of Jervis Robinson, Esq., of Darlington, residing at Rockcliffe
Farm, near Hurairth-on-Tees,
having occasion to set his
father over the River Tres, at that place at which there is no
ferry-boat, he therefore took a horse and cart for that pur-
pose, and took his son, a little boy, with him, and after leaving
his father at the Yorkshire side of the river, was returning,
when, we regret to say, the water came down in a body and
overturned the cart. Robinson and his little boy were never
Aeen afterwards, and were drowned, together with the horse,
worth about 30/. Their cries brought some persons to their
assistance; but not in time to be of any avail. One man got
hold of the horse's head, but he did not succeed in saving it.
What renders the accident still more distressing is that the father
of Robinson was on one side of the river and his wife on the
other, witnesses of the scene, and yet not able to render the
least assistance. The bodies have not yet been found.

A Madrid letter in the Phare of Bayonne states that
the exact amount of the budget of expenditure for 1842 is
1,369,301,681 reels, and of that of receipts 871,730,644 r., leav-
ing a deficit for the current year of 490,106,208 r.

STATE OF TRADE.—The market has been much
depressed during the week: Some business has been done at
exceedingly low rates, principally for immediate and pressing
orders. The disastrous news from India has had an unfavour-
able effect upon the market, and bas made mule yarns and
shirtings worse to sell. We have to report the furore of a
house in the print trade, and also some stoppages in London—a
portion of the liabilities of which will fall on-Manchester. A
large factory, employing 1,200 hands, was closed last night.—
Manchester Times.
