COTTON TRADE.

The condition of the cotton market has varied but
very little since our last notice. Thew southern mar-
kets are very heavy, and prices generally tend down-
ward. In this market, during the early part of the
week, a fine business was done for export; but the
business fell off towards the close, summing up as
follows :-2,050 bales Upland and Florida, at 6 a 81
cents ; 1,050 bales Mobile, 61 a 91 ; 350 bales New
Orleans, 6 a 91; 350 bales Texas, 7 aB. Total,
3,800 bales.

The state of the currency at the south will, of
course, influence prices of the new crop. The New
Orleans Banks will probably cease doing business,
with the exception of the Bank of Louisiana. They
are now mostly in the hands of the Attorney-Gene-
ral. The Alabama Banks are making efforts to sus-
tain the credit of their paper, but it has become too
low to be made available for the cott m crop, in the
face of thei?lcie prices of New Orleans. The anti-
cipations of al arge crop continue unchanged.

CASE IX.
No. 6,474-6,488.. (15 Bills.)

Claimant.—Afr. Edward Sherman.

Series of Holders.—Edward Sherman, Edward
Lloyd Morgan, William and James Morgan, E.
Rapello.
i\lr. Sherman is a coach proprietor, and having
occasion to make monthly payments in the course
of his business, was in the habit, at the time
when this case occurred, of lending out his
money for short periods to persons on the Stock
Exchange, on the deposit of Spanish Stock and other

On the 15th of October, 1841, Mr. E. L. Morgan
(mentioned in Case I.) with whom he had had some
previous transactions of the kind above mentioned (on
Spanish stock) inquired of him if he had money to lend,
and on his answering in the affirmative, a bargain took
place between them on the same day for the loan of
10,0001. by Mr. Sherman to Mr. Morgan, upon secu-
rity, for one week, subject to earlier redemption, at
the option of the borrower. Mr. Morgan then went
away to fetch the security, the nature of which had not
been mentioned, and he afterwards returned with
ten of the bills now in question. On his return,
Mr. Sherman said that he should charge him seven
per cent., informing him (as the fact was) that he,
Mr. Sherman, was himself under engagement
to pay seven per cent. to another person in a
transaction in Spanish stock ; and Mr. Morgan, after
some apparent hesitation, acceded to the proposal, re-
ceiving from Mr. Sherman the 10,000/., and leaving
with him the ten bills by way of security.
Almost immediately afterwards the parties agreed
to enlarge the 10,0001, to 15,0001., .and 5,0001. more
was then accordingly advanced by Mr. Sherman to
Mr. Morgan upon the same terms as already stated
with respect to the 10,0001., and the remainder of the
bills now in question were left by the latter
with the former as a security for this additional
advance. These loans both continued current till the
public discovery of the fraud, which was about a week
after the bargain above stated.

Seven per cent was a very high rate of interest at
the time of the bargain, having regard to the nature
of the security but it does not appear to us that un-
der the circumstances of the case the consent of Mr.
Morgan to pay that interest was calculated to excite,
or (lid in fact excite, suspicion of fraud in the mind of
Mr. Sherman.

The money so borrowed by Mr. E. L. Morgan was
borrowed by him as clerk or agent to the house of
'Wm. and James Morgan, from whom him he received
the bills, and to whom he also paid over the money.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERS ALL'S—YESTERDAY.
THE ST. LEGER.—The report in circulation last week,
at Egham and Manchester, that Attila had gone amiss
was proved by the betting yesterday afternoon to have
been a false alarm ; he was backed eagerly at 11 to
8, and 5 to 4, and in one instance at 6 to 5, and
closed in greater force than ever. Policy, BaHin-
keele, and Cabrera, were backed frequently in
the early part of the afternoon, the first at it to 1,
afterwards offered currently, .and the ahem, at 20
to 1 each, Ballinkeele finishing at layers of these
odds ; Cabrera, on the other hand, advancing to 16 to
1, taken in hundreds. Fireaway was in favour at 12
and 13 to 1, Eboracum at 16 to 1, and a small sum was
laid out on Seahorse at a slight decline on last week's
figure. Cattonite, Golden Rule, and Sir harry gate
way. The other betting
.was slight and unimportant.

DUBLIN POLICE.

Some of the usual results of "Donnybrook Fair"
disclosed themselves at College-street POlice-office, no
less than eighty-eight prisoners having been brought
before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Hitchcock. The
following case, amongst a host of others, arising from
the like source, was brought forward :
Police-constable Kennedy, of the B division,
charged a man named Thomas Smith, with having
been drunk and disorderly at the fair on the night
previous._

The prisoner was a man of monstrous dimensions,
whose gigantic person filled the whole dock.
Mr. Ihrcucocx. What have you to say for
yourself?

Prisoner (drawing a huge fist over his brow)—
Little, very little. I have a confused recollection of
having been at some fair or other, of having kissed
some girl or other, of having drunk some liquor or
other, and of having been trailed through the mud to
the station-house by some policeman or other.--
(Laughter.) There is all I know about it, and don't
care twopence if you fine me.
Mr. HlTCucocK—lt must have taken a good deal
of liquor to have made you drunk.
Prisoner—Well, I don't doubt but it did. I have
a glimmering recollection of having drunk the better
part of a quarter cask of XX.—Fined 2s. 6d.

TIIE PROGRESS OF THE HARVEST.—Another glo-
rious week has been added to the weeks of the finest
harvest in the memory of man. In Yorkshire and in
Lancashire, as indeed in all the northern counties, a
great part of the grain is cut, and much of it secured.
The rapidity with which the harvest has advanced, and
the small expense of reaping and gathering, as com-
pared with ordinary years, is very remarkable ; and the
Irish reapers, who always come over to this c-euntry in
numbers in the aututnn months, say that the corn disap-
pears from the fields as br magis. "It is here to-day and
gone to-morrow." We think that we are safe in saying,
that more grain has been cut this year by the last weea
in August, than was secured in 1841 by the end of 5.93-
tember. The price of all kinds of butcher's meat, like
that of grain, is gradually declining.—Leeds Mercury.
Sir Harcourt Lees, of Dublin, who has had the
sagacity to discover a Popish conspiracy against Protest-
antism in those kingdoms in every one of the last thirty
years. in his last effusion of this sort refers a Dahlia
Editor to two letters published in his paper of 1826, and
adds, " Publish these two letters in full ; both of them,
as well as I recollect, did not take up more than two
columns of your paper—not much when a Nation may be

OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC PRESS IN FAVOUR OF THIS WORK.

'‘ We were not, however, prepared for this emphatically
valuable companion for the merchant and tradesman. To that
numerous class of our readers, the commercial travellers, we
feel we are rendering a service when we direct their attention
to the ' Diurnal Recorder ;' which, within the space of a corn-
.
mon pocket-book, furnishes every variety of information they
can require in the transactioa of their daily business."—Globe,
Oct. 18.

" Its great utility, combined with its cheapness, cannot fail to
ensure an extensive sale. It possesses the rare recommendation
of economising time, and giethodising business."—Observer,
Oct. 16.

" The printed information is various, useful, and plentiful ;
and the work one to be recommended."—spectator, Oct. 29.

" This is decidedly the mast valuable 'work of the kind
which has appeared, and will, we confidently predict, find its
way into every counting. house, and into the hands of every
man of business, when its merits become known."—Advertiser,
Oct. lb.

" But our diary-maker does insist on the imperfections of
former books of this kind, and on the excellence of his own,
and he seems well entitled to hold this opinion. The Diurnal
Recorder' is an admirable register of the professional arrange-
ments of all who have money to make, and the pleasurable en-
gagements of all who have money to spend."—Titres, Oct. 20.
"6 We believe it will be found that they are deficient in no
good quality by which works of this class ought to be distin-
guished, and are extended by several striking and original im-
provements."—Monthly Magazine for October.
" It appears to us a decided improvement on those publica-
tions of this nature to which we have been heretofore accus-
tomed."—The Mining Journal, and Railway and Commercial
Gazette, Oct. 29.

" lie has approached perfection so nearly, that the Diur-
nal Recorder,' as it, exceeds all other works of that descrip-
tion, must take 'precedence of them. Sunday Times, Oct. 3tl.

The Paris papers, with the exception of those
from which we gave extracts yesterday, and La
France, abstain from all comment on the im-
portant news from China. The latter journal
contains the following lamentation on the sub-
ject :—" The English have made peace with
China. They have obtained the commercial
ports' which they were anxious for, as well as a
large compensation for the sacrifices which the
war has cost them. The star of England, so
dimmed in India, rises quite radiant over China.
This peace is a great event, and England will
take good care to extract:frora it the natural conse-
quences, for she never stops short. The East is
in commotion, and falls to pieces, in order to
unite again under the powerful hand of Russia.
_ _

England and Russia find new elements of force

and greatness, whilst France holds more and
more apart, and declines. What a melancholy
spectacle ! What a humiliation for a nation
which, during two centuries, had always been
the pivot and the sun of Europe !"
The Court of Assizes at Paris, have at last
brought to a conclusion the trial of the five offi-
cers employed in the Prefecture of the Seine,
charged with fraud, corruption, and abstraction
in the :exercise of their functions. The Jury,
which had been occupied for fourteen days in
hearing evidence, acquitted SOLET and PHILIDOR,
and found MORIN guilty on one count only, in
a fraud of 1,515 francs on the Government by
means of false papers, negativing eight other
counts relative to the abstraction of plans;
BOUFET guilty on eight counts out of sixteen, for,
corruption in office,; HounDEQunv guilty on one
cowit only, viz., that of attempting to extort a
) sum of twenty-five thousand francs from the
Baron DE GRANDMAISON, to the prejudice of the
City of Paris. The President sentenced MORIN
to three years' imprisonment; and a fine
of 100 francs; BOUTET to three years'
imprisonment; and HOURDEQUIN to four
years' imprisonment and a fine of 100
francs ; the costs of the trial to be defrayed by
the three prisoners conjointly, each, however,
being held responsible fbr the others. All the
prisoners were much affected on hearing their
sentence, and they appeared to be suffering
deeply from the long confinement (nearly nine
months) which they had undergone previously
to their trial. HOURDEQUIN was in so weak a
state during the trial, that he was at times almost
unable to reply to the questions of the President,
and when his sentence was passed he was obliged
to be led out of Court between-two of the mu:-
nicipal guard in attendance. Before the Jury
separated they signed a letter to the Prefect of
the Seine, requesting, that as PHILIDOR had
been proved to be innocent of the-charges brought
against him, he might be restored to the office
which he had held previously to his being
arrested.

Finding this morning that the batteries on the star-

the enemy, I dropped the Modesto nearer, and landed
and took possession of them with the Marines and small

I found the guns—viz., on the larboard side. 8 copper
guns, 33 iron ditto ; on the starboard side, 8 copper guns
6 iron ditto—had been dismounted, tents destroyed, and
carriages most of them taken away. Above the batteries
I found 8 war junks, all of which were burnt, except a
small one, in which I hope this evening to•have all the
copper guns embarked.
I have also the honour to enclose to your Excellency a
copy of Mr. Forster's remarks, who has been sounding
about a mile above the batteries in our boats.
I have also to inform your Excellency, that the chop
