Something must be done to put down Betting-offices—
something must be done to put an end to the swindling
of Emigrants by mock companies and diddling schemes.
So cries every one ; but how ? That is the rub. The

HOME SECRETARY has intimated his intention to try and
grapple with the betting-office sharpers, and T have no
doubt that, by the application of his ingenious mind and

bject, he will effect his purpose, if
any one can. It is really dreadful the extent to which the
spirit of gambling, or horse-racing, has been carried of
late, fostered by these roguish betting-shopkeepers.
There is hardly a servant man or woman here who has
not had something to do with them, or some hankering
after them. The case of a butler, indicted a few days ago
at Middlesex, for robbing his master of plate to the
amount of £2OO, is merely a solitary illustration of the
condition of our domestic relations. This old and
confidential servant admitted that he was some-
times worth £l,OOO, and sometimes not worth a
Penny. So one day, having a " debt of honour"
to pay, he made free with his master's plate-chest. Of
course he only meant to " borrow" until such times as a
lucky race would again put him in funds ; but what a state
of society this example of a prevalent vice exposes I In
fact, no house is safe, and no servant, however old and
long trusted, is to be depended on so long as these en-
ticing betting shops are permitted to exist. As to the
preying that is going on upon intending emigrants, I fear
there are no means of effectually stopping it. Publicity
given to each imposition, as it is brought to light, is all

The Times has at length condescended to tell us—the

out of the bag. It was indeed once avowed, by an indis-

In our SHARE-MARKET this week we have had
no particular feature, dulness and inactivity having
been the characteristics. Stock proves very scarce
as the settlement approaches, and the Contangoes
very light. We annex this day's quotations :—Late

PRODUCE.—There has been a good business
done in SUGAR throughout the week, and better
prices have been realised than those previously
current. RICE has also been in active demand, at
improved rates, owing to the unfavourable reports
from America. In most other articles there is no
actual change to notice; but an improved feeling
generally prevails. TO-DAY, inclusive of Satur-
day's sales, the business in SUGAR comprises 40
hilds. grainy Barbadoes, at 31s. 6d. to 405,; 3,400
bags Bengal, at 30s. to 31s. for dry brown, and
365. 6d. to 41s. for white Benares ; 50 hhds. Porto
Rico and Cuba Muscovado at 31s. 6d. to 355. 6d.;
and a cargo of brown Bahia, afloat, deliverable at a
near port, at 16s. 6d. per cwt. There is nothing
to notice in MOLASSES, Rum, or COFFEE. The
TEA market is inactive; of the 3,000 packages
advertised for Thursday next, one-half consists of
Teas " with all faults." By auction, 1,300 pockets
Bengal RICE brought Ils. 3d., and by private sale,
5,000 bags Arracan have changed hands, at 9s. 3d.
with 2,500 bags to arrive, at 9s. per cwt.
We have also to report 1,000 bags SAGO FLOUR,
at 14s. 6d. from the quay, and at ]4s. 9d. per cwt.
from store, 10 chests B Mirzapore LAC DYE at ls.
ltd. per lb., 30 tons Ceara FUSTIC at £4 12s. 6d.
to £5 55., and a small lot of Jamaica LOGWOOD at
£4 per ton.

COTTON.—We had a slow business in this mar-
ket during the week, the sales up to Thursday
evening being 40,430 bales at prices slightly in
favour of the buyer for other than current Ameri-
can. Speculators took 8,510 bales, exporters, 3,180,
leaving for the trade 28,740. A general impression
prevailed that prices of American were not likely to
be lower for the coming crop ; and this, coupled
with the great increase of mills which are being
erected in the manufacturing districts, imparted
much firmness to speculators.
TO-DAY, the advices brought by the Halifax
Mail steamer America, conveying unfavourable
reports of the position and prospects of the new
crop, gave a tone of increased confidence to holders,
and led to a larger business being done. The sales
were 12,000 bales, of which 5,000 were on specula-
tion; and prices may be quoted from 1-16 to
higher than on Friday. The following is the offi-
cial statement of the crop in America from Ist

GRAIN.—The Corn market has been inactive
during the week, with little change in prices. The
feeling, however, for all except fine old foreign
Whe It has been in favour of the buyer; a change
in the wind to the westward having brought in
several large imports from the United States. The
arrivals, foreign and coastwise, the latter very
trifling, for two days,—Friday and Saturday last—
comprised 2,438 quarters Wheat; 9 quarters Malt;
1,271 quarters Oats ; 2,090 quarters Beans ; 1,668
quarters Indian Corn ; 776 loads Oatmeal, and
2,324 barrels Flour. The exports are small.
IRON.—We quote the following remarks from
the Birmingham Gazette of yesterday :—" Much
excitement has prevailed in this trade throughout
the last week, and it is with great difficulty that
business can be transacted. Most of the large
makers have yet orders on hand, taken at the low
prices, that will consume a large portion of the en-
suing quarter to work off; and manufacturers in
general are so pressed by their customers at the 20s.
advance already declared, and even at higher figures,
that they feel much hesitation at making sales. It
is stated that circulars have been sent out by some
houses quoting from 30s. to 40s. advance upon their
last quarter's sales ; while the more moderate are
refusing to accept orders, unless subject to future
alterations. From London, Liverpool, and all the
places of export, report speaks of extraordinary
activity, and doubtless there exists, both here and
in all other iron districts, still a decided upward
tendency ; but we are not aware that any formal
declaration of more than 20s. on the nominal price
of iron will be proposed at the preliminary meeting
to be held at Wolverhampton on Thursday next.
The result of its deliberations is looked forward to
with some anxiety.

THE LATE GREAT CATTLE SALES BY THE MESSRS.
Lucas.—lt will have been observed in our advertising
columns during the past month, that this eminent firm
have had in their hands some most extensive sales. One
at the conclusion of the Lytham Agricultural Show was
attended by a larger number of buyers than had been at
any prior meeting of the society. The stock, the horses
particularly, were first-class, well-bred, young and pow-
erful, and the prices realized were, we are glad to say,
such as to prove remunerative to the breeders. Another
important sale, following the Manchester and Liverpool
Agricultural Society's Show, was held in the Repository,
91, Charlotte-street, on Friday, when again there was a
large attendance of buyers. The prices realized were high,
but the stock was excellent. Some South-down rams,
bred by Mr. Llewellyn Lloyd (which took the first prize
on Thursday), sold as high as 29 guineas each. The more
inferior realized 5 guineas each. Other important sales
will, we understand, soon take place.

This court commenced its sittings yesterday. His
Honour, Joseph Pollock, Esq., who has been in Ireland
on a visit, and who was expected to preside, it was an
nounced was detained in consequence of the illness of
Mrs. Pollock, consequently suitors and others were kept
waiting for about an hour, when J. W. Harden, Esq., the
judge of the Cheshire County Court arrived, and took his
seat shortly after eleven o'clock.

Mr. Statham, clerk of the court, announced that in
consequence of the illness of his wife, Mr. Pollock was
unable to attend, and the learned judge requested that the
insolvency cases fixed for that day might be postponed
until the first vacant day, which would be the 18th Octo-
ber. In all these cases protection would be renewed, and
consequently the cases of fraud summohses and inter-
pleaders would be proceeded with.
His HONOUR then proceeded to give judgment in the
following cases on fraud summonses, and ordered com-
mitments as undermentioned.

John Davies, attorney, Clarendon-rooms, 20 days, but
not to be taken out for 10 days.

John Harrison, sto.ieinason, Rupert-street,

Jas. Dobson, carpet cleaner, Breck -road, Everton, sum-

The defendant said the amount was for advertising. He
had commenced business in Liverpool nine years ago, and
had struggled hard during the whole of that time to pay
every one 20s. in the pound, and to keep out of the insol-
vent court; but he was now so reduced that it was time
for him to go to Australia or somewhere else. for he found
it impossible to get on in Liverpool. After some discus-
sion, the learned Judge ordered a warrant to issue for
fifteen days, unless 10s. per month was naid.
John Bullock, grocer, Bell Vue, Wavertree-road, 15
days.

Patrick Balfe, labourer, 25, Tdris-street, Athol-street,

INTERPLEADERS

In this case William 'Rice was the claimant of goods
seized by the high bailiff, under judgment of the court, in
an action in which Mainwaring and Woods were plaintiffs,
and Elizabeth Featherstone was defendant. Mr. Godfrey
appeared for the claimant, and Mr. Wheeler for the judg-
ment creditor. It appeared that the officers had seized a
chest of drawers, two clocks, a fender, and looking glass.
The claim set up was, that all the goods belonged to Rice,
and with the exception of one of the clocks, had been his
for many years. One of the clocks he purchased from
Mrs. Featherstone, his mother-in-law, about eighteen
months ago for £3 ; but the account given by the witness
of the transaction varied so much, that his Honour ordered
judgment for the claimant for all the articles except the
clock in question, and that he should pay the balance of
the debt and costs above what the clock fetched, in con-
sequence of setting up a frivolous and unfounded claim for
the clock.

In the next case the claimant was Mr. J. H. Joyce,
raising out of goods seized under an execution against
Andrew J. Harrison, v. Quigley.
Mr. Simon appeared for the claimant, and Mr. Bre-
therton was for the judgment creditors. Mr. Simon
stated that the claimant was an agent, accountant, and
auctioneer in Liverpool. On the 12th August Quigley
called upon his client and offered a quantity of goods for
sale. The goods were examined and £l2 offered, but
this was said not to be enough, and Quigley left. How-
ever, the same afternoon the goods were sent to the
rooms of Joyce, but there not being the full quantity,
only £8 was paid. On the following day the officers of
that court went to the premises of Joyce, broke into a
room, and carried off, not only the goods he had purchased
from Quigley, but also others, which there was no pre-
tence for saying had ever belonged to Quigley.
On the notice of claim being put in, Mr. Bretherton
objected to its sufficiency, on the ground that it did not
set forth the title of the claimant to the property.
Mr. Simon applied to amend the claim.
The Judge said he could not do that, unless with the
consent of Mr. Bretherton. _ _ .

Mr. Bretherton said he could not give his 'consent.
This was the third interpleader with respect to these
goods, and, in trying them, and the cost of looking after
them, £7O had already been expended.
Mr. Simon said it was a very hard case, so far as his client
was concerned, for he was an innocent party in thematter.
Mr. Bretherton said he was quite prepared to prove
that Joyce knew all about it.

Some discussion then took place as to the costs, on
which his HONOUR said he had no jurisdiction to decide
the case ; the effect of which will he that the goods would
be sold, and applied to the payment of the debt and costs,
but the extra costs would be added to the original debt.

Another case, arising out of goods belonging to the same
defendant, claimed by Thomas Abbey, was decided in
favour of the judgment creditor, and costs allowed.

INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.
♦

Two inquests were held yesterday before P. F. Curry,
Esq., on the bodies of infants who had been overlain, one
named Ann Murphy, and the other named Marry Ann
Trainer. Verdicts accordingly.
On Saturday an inquest was held on Mary Lewis, aged
74, who lived in 4 Court, Great Howard-street. The de-
ceased, it appeared,went on Tuesday to visit her daughter
in Bewley-street, Kirkdale. On her returning home the
same evening, she was knocked down by a whitechapel
coming from the trotting match, and received a severe
concussion of the brain, of which she died on Friday
evening in the Northern Hospital. Vercict, accidental
death.

On George Hoskin, who lived at 65, Eldon-place. On
Tuesday, the deceased was assisting his son at his saw-
mill, when he was accidentally struck by a piece of wood
which knocked him down, and he received an injury of
the spine, from the effects of which he died in the
Northern Hospital on Thursday. Verdict accordingly.

On the body of a child, about two months old, which
was found on some vacant ground between Athol-street
and Boundary-street. The result of a post mortem ex-
amination showed, that the cause of death was congestion
of the brain, but whether arising from natural causes or
otherwise, the surgeon was unable to determine, Verdict
accordingly,
