Saturday at the Central Criminal Court, Augustus S

nich, aged 17, was indicted for having on the Ist of April last.h
shot at the Rev. Mr. Haden, in St Paul's Cathedral, with
intent to murder him. After the particulars, which have been
already made public, were given in evidence, Mr. Baron Gu
r-
ney summed up, and said, there could be no doubt that if. a
person presented a loaded gun at another, intending to fire it,
he intended to some grievous bodily haatm. They would
have to consider—first, whether the trigger was
time the prisoner presented the pistol, pulled at the
anti upon that point
there was certainly some contradictory evidence ; and the
next question would be, whether the pistol was so loaded as
to thepl of doing an injury, there being according to one
of witnesses less than twenty grains in it. The jury
wished to know whether, if the prosecutor was injured by the
fright, that weuld be sufficient to bring the case within the
meaning of the statute? Mr. Baron Gurney said—Certainly
not, because then there would be no wounding. The jurY,
after a few minutes' deliberation, Acquitted the prisoner.

COTTON TRADE.
(From the New York Herald of April 29.)
The cotton market throughout the United States seems to
be rather inert. Holders are firm, from the diminution of
receipts, and the hope that the new crop will be less in mag-
nitude than the last, and that the low prices of the last will
enhance consumption. Buyers do not seem to submit to
demands based upon these views; hence the operations are
less. -

NEW ORLEANS, APRIL 15

Liverpool advices to the 4th March remain our latest dates.
These accounts were by no means encouraging, but have ex-
ercised no prejudicial effect upon our market. The cotton
season is rapidly drawing to a close and the anxiety of
buyers to close their operations before our receipts suddenly
fall off has given much animation to the market. The sales
to date since the Ist instant amount to 56,700 bales, and
prices have advanced ato cent ; and, as the classification
is now receding, prices, notwithstanding a favourable differ-
ence in freight and exchange, are fully i cent above those
then ruling.

The receipts here amount to 920.718 bales, against same
period last year 647,572 bales; and we do not expect that our
total receipts, this year, will much exceed one million of
bales. The quantity received here from the 17th April,
1842, to the close of last season, was less than 84,000 bales.
Clear good staple cotton has now become scarce; and the
great bulk of that on hand is of the lower grades. Similar
qualities compose the receipts coming forward. We still
estimate the total supply of the year at 2,200,000 bales,
though it may probably reach 2,250,000 bales.
We quote Ordinary at....... 43 cents to 51 cents.
Strictly middling.. to 51 ~
Middling fair .... „ to 61 „
Fair . 7l „ to 7A „

Ordinary to fair, same day last year, 51 to 16 cents

FREIGHTS have declined considerably, owing to the nu-
merous arrivals of large vessels, and, if id. for Liverpool be
not the actually established rate, it soon will be.

MOBILE, APRIL 10,

Arrived 9141 bales, cleared 24,3.13; stock on hand 92,635
bales, against 65,804 last year. The demand is moderate,
but holders are firm at a slight advance on the prices of last
week. The week's sales reach 80,700 bales, at from 5 1-2 to
43 cents for ordinary to fair quality, with some choice lota at
84 to 8 1-2 cents. The receipts have fallen off considerably,
and the prospect for the next crop is not favourable.
