BERLIN, AUGUST 10.—Very little has. been doing
in our corn market for some days past, and, notwith-
standing the unfavourable accounts of the harvest, pnr
ticularly from the fertile corn countries of Upper Silesia,
the prices have everywhere fallen. The accounts from
the wine-growing provinces of the kingdom, on the con-
trary, are very favourable, and it is hoped that the pro-
duce will this year be remarkable for
quality, equal to that of UM. quaniity, and

MONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The anxiety to obtain information relative to the'
proceedings in the North,- has not in the least sub-
sided, but, in fact, rather increased,from the attempted
demonstration in the metropolis lasts vening. • The
city, until an early hour this morning. preaented an.
unusual sight of being patrolled by merchants and
several of the civic authorities, with the 'Lord Mayor
at their head, for the purpose of rendering assistance
should an attack have been made on the Dunk, which
from the demeanour of the mob in paasitig that build-
ing, was thought not to be improbable ; at. about three
o!clock all apprehension was, however, : a an end.
Business being completely at a stanea, the mercan-
tile letters are but few in number ; these, however,
give more favourable accounts generally, and it may
be gathered that the outbreak is virtually at an end.
Much apprehension is exhibited as to what may he
the ultimate consequence on trade, and fears are ex-
pressed that it will be some time .yet before it will be
restored to its former state.
As might be anticipated, but little has been done, in
the funds ; holders, however, are firm, and the price
of Consols has advanced beyond that of yesterday,
being now 921, rather buyers, for Money and for the
Account. Three per Cents. Reduced, 92-4-; Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1011; New Three-
and-a-Half per Cents., 100-:j. ; Bank Stock, 1691 1701;
India Stock, 250 251; Exchequer Bills, Old, -53
New, 49 51 prem.
One transaction in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents, comprises all the bargains in Foreign Securi-
ties. Prices of the others are nominally the same as
last night. 'There has been no official quotation for
Mexican Bonds.
The Share Market is exceedingly firm ; and a rise
of 21. per share has to be noticed in London and Bir-
mingham, these shares having been sold at 181/. ex.
div., or rather more than 1001. per cent. prem. Great
IVestern New Shares, 624, Fifths 9 ; South Western
624 ; South Eastern, New, 6i ; and Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 47.
The Bonds quoted to-day are—Portuguese Five
per Cents., 331; Spanish Five per Cents, 211; and
the Three per Cents., 204 ; all for time.
Some very strong and persuasive feelers have been
put forth, to endeavour to induce subscriptions for the
Federal loan of the United States, but fortunately
hitherto without success. It is stated that the agents
have proceeded to the Continent for the purpose of
trying what may be effected among the capitalists
there, but have taken the precaution to leave powerful
advocates behind them. To render any arguments of
those gentlemen unavailing, it is necessary only
.to
refer to the States of Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi,
Pennaylvania, and a few others, not omitting the
United States Bank, and some similar private insti-
tutions, by each of which. the English have been
robbed to an enormous extent, and derided when
seeking an arrangement by which their claims might
be liquidated.
MANCHESTER STOCK ExCHANGE, AUG. 1S --'there

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

PALACE COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

TIORNK V. TUCK.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is
and has been for some years an attendant on per Sons
of impaired intellect,.to recover a sum of 121. 10s., for
attendance on the-defendant.
Many witnesses Were called on the part of the
plaintiff, from which it appeared that the defendant, in
consequence of intemperate habits, was some.
time since obliged to be placed under restraint ;
that on the advice of his medical men he was attended
by the plaintiff, and for that' attendance he sought to
recover the above amount.
On the part, of the defendant his daughter and the
nurse, who attended his children, were called, who
gave testimony to the effect, that the plaintiff was
very seldom at the house of the defendant; that when
he was there it was only to dine with them, and the
daughter positively swore that she had never seen her.
father intoxicated.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up the ease,
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the
full amount claimed, 121. 10s.

Many of the cases in the pager were undefended,
others compromised, and the Court rose before one
o'clock.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE BAKEWELL.

The insolvent in this case was an engineer. His
hearing had been adjourned from this day week, in
order to adduce evidence with respect to his interest
in a certain patent for preventing ships fro,n founder-
ing at sea, called the Pneumatic Marine Preserver.
Mr. Thomas Knightley showed that the insolvent
had no available share in the patent, and with regard
to other inventions the insolvent had realised no profit
on them.
Upon the application of Mr. Cooke, Mr. Kingston
was appointed assignee, when the insolvent was dis-
charged forthwith.

IN RE JAMES.

This case had been adjourned from a former, day,
for the purpose of allowing certain property to be
given up to the creditors.
Mr. Cooke now announced that the parties had
come to a settlement, and the insolvent was ordered
to be discharged.

IN RE ROBERT COLLINS.

The insolvent's petition to be discharged was op-
posed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of several,creditors.
It appeared that he had been in possession of a
quantity of valuable property for several years, _ and
in consequence his creditors were induced to let him
run into debt to a large amount ; but when proceed-
ings were taken against him and execution issued, he
turned round and said that all the property was his
father's.

The COMMISSIONER, commenting upon his dis-
honesty, ordered him to be remanded, at the suit of
one or more of his creditors, for eight calendar months,
from the date of his vesting order.
