REAL ESTATE IN NEw YoRK.-The Journal of Commerce publishes table contrasting the assess ed value of the real and personal in that city for thirty six years back. From 1905 up 1872 there very little increase m the value; at the former time the estimate being $25, ,s77. the latter, bly below the former period. In 1913, the estimate in round numbers, was 2T ,O0O, ,OOOO; in 1914, the next year, it to s80,O00, 900. This sudden start in consequence of the peace of 1874. From that period till 1924, it auctuated between sixty eight and eighty two millions. In 1924, the estimate eighty three millions. From that time till the great speculaiing of 1886, it very rapidly until it attained the of three hundred millions. From 1886. it has fallen away until, according to the assessments taken the pre- year, it is hundred and fifty millions. The fall in the year of 1885, forty six millions. The city new is ten times the valuation of 1909. The population within the last thirty years has than trebled.
 The valus of the personal estate for the present year, 65, ,430 456, which is considerably less than for several past years, and is probably an indica- ton of the introduction of economy in the ha- bits of the ctizens forced upon them by the necess- ties ofthe times.

 The Philadelphia National Gazette has the follow ing report illustrating the ''glorous uncertainty of the law"
 Catharine Towner yesterday arraigneed be- fore Judge Barton, in the Court of Criminal Sessions on charge of ''receivng stolen goods" A lad of sixteen testified that himself and another lad . about the age had been employed at various times by Catharine to steal various articles for which she had paid them a compensation. The immediate charge against the defendant the present occason was the receiving rom of the lads above mentioned eight pounds of copper, (knowng it to have been stoen,) for which she paid him ten per pound. The fact sworn to by the lad, and also that he took tke copper from the woter-spo1 of house near Fair mount.
 At this stage of the Judge Barton arrested the proceedings, and stated that the defendant could possibly be convicted the present. indctn l. inas- much by act cf 1772, the lads had been guilty. not of larceny hut of isdemsanor and that therefore though these legal distinctions becoming grow ing evil and disgrace to the laws of the land the defendant clearly could not be convicted of receiving stolen goods, where goods had been stolen. As illustration, the judge stated that f man, passing through another's orchard, were to climb tree and fill his pockets with fruit, inasmuch as the fruit was
 part of the tree, and therefore in the eye of the law real and not personal property, he could only be convicted under the act of 1772 but that if he were in the first instance shake fhe t from he tree and then fill bis pocket from the ground he would clearly be guilty of larceny. aif'
 The defendant was acquitted, but was subsequently ordered to give bail in the sum of S400, to answer the charge in another rom and in default thereof was remanded to prison. 11.l.,-

Commercial Correspondence of the Register.

NEw-YoRK, Oct. 23, 1S4l. The advices by the Columbia from Liverpool to the
 9th inst, were received yesterday. The news was ofess interest than usual in political point of view
 The new ministry did not seem to have any definite plan of action and it was supposed would not be able
 to continue in office more than few months. The majority of the new parliament are bound to some modification of the existing laws and their course of action is probematcal. The weather had been very bad since the revious steamer and the defcen- cy in the harvest it thought would be greater than had been anticipated. The most authentic es- inmates put it at 100000 qrs. being 800, ,OOO qrs
 more than was wanted last year. Money was tight and the sudden operation of the chancellor of the ex- chequer in funding t5,000 900 of outstanding bills had produced some pressure. The exchanges were, however, slowly improving and it was thought that the order had mostly been paid for In the man. ufacturng districts the distress continued unparal- lelled. It estimated that in and about Manches- ter, 400 900 people out employ and in a starv- ing condition. The extreme low prices of goods and yarns had produced their natural results in increasing the demand for goods from the north of Europe which had been good as largely to decrease the stocks but not to improve prices. The effect upon the cot ton market was, for the week ending the 24th Sept. to produce an extensive demand and the trade supplied themselves freely. causing an increased steadness in the market with tendency to improve in the middle and lower classes of American descrp- tons. Surats and long cottons were, however, heavy of sale, at Il decline For the week ending Oct lst the demand continued good bat was freely met by holders, the prices continuing firm The heavy stock prevented any disposition to advance. The trans actions for the two weeks were as folio Ss:
