The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, all' to the trade. The market closed steadily. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of American at 41d. to 50. were nearly *d. per lb. dearer, from want of choice. Everything else unchanged.

The Colonial Produce Markets re-opened last Tuesday, but,- as usual, during the first week of the year, the business clone has been limited. Sugar, especially British plantation, was in demand at higher prices early in the week, but has been quieter since. Coffee has ruled dull, and the quan tity offered publicly has been very small. In rice and spices there has been scarcely any business. Tea has met with a fair inquiry for the common con2;ou sorts. Bum has ruled dull ; salt petre also, and hemp and flax lower. Cochineal has been- in demand at full prices. In cotton the dealings haVe been limited, but quotations without Much alteration. TalloW has declined. NON•COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND MEN. Private Geo.

Non-commissioned officers and men Sick officers Upon the silk trade Mr. Henry W. Eaton gives the following information " I fear that on the whole, few pars' have been less satisfactory to the home trade-than 1854. "This result must doubtless be attributed, in some degree, to the many external causes operating generally, but these, combined with the unexpectedly large imports from China, and the unfavourable accounts from Ame rica, have absolutely rendered abortive every calculation, and materially affected the sale of manufactured goods, both herd furl abroad, as well as of thrown silks. "China sills has again formed the great attraction cf the year, the consumption showing an increase of up wards of 16,600 bales as-compared with that of 1853. "The 'increase in the imports is 22,418' bales, the, totals, exclusive of 400 bales of low, sorts from Leto 4s 3d being 55 ; 793 bales in 1854 against 33,375 in 1853, while the existing stock is but 6,000 bales in excess of that of January last, Tsatlees actually showing a decrease of 1,327 bales. " It may here be remarked, that these large deliveries have arisen chiefly from the demand for export upon the fall in prices, and shippers from China may rest assured that moderate prices alone will secure a current sale of such large exports of Taysaams and other coarse - -silk, which was clearly proved by the cessation of demand, especially foreign, after the recent advance from lOs to lls, to 11s 6J, to 12s 6:1, and its resumption since the reaction. " The variation in prices during the year for the same qualities has perhaps been greater than at any former period. " Best Nos. 1 and 2 Tsatlees, for instance, have been 16s to 17S, and 19s to 20s ; thirds, 13s 6d and 18s ; other sorts, 11s to 15s, and 13s to 17s. Bst Taysaams, 18s and 13s ; usual sorts, 14s 6,1 to 17s, and lOs to 12s 6d.° Chinese throWns, 14s 6.1 and 19s 61. " The recent ad vices from China renort the settlements for 'new silk frem the Ist July to Ist November, to- be 25,000 bales, against 30,000 bales last season, and the shipments are estimated at 20,500 bales, against 25,700 bales ; of these we have already received 5,U0 bales, against 9,500 prior to the 31st Dicember, 1853, leaving about 15,000 bales afloat. " Prices in China held out little inducement to ship pers to this country, "The position of the Bengal market has been unsa- tisfactory throughout, and it is really surprising to find that 7,928 bales have been delivered for consumption, being a decrease of only 1,741 bales. " Coarse sizes of fair quality have CO doubt felt the large supply and low price of Tayeaam silk, but it is quite a mistake to imagine that the lowest qualities, which are abundant, have been so affected, the real • cause of their not selling being that there is no use to which our manufacturers can apply anything so - infe rior." _ _ , Much activity prevails in the market for Ame rican securities, and purchasers have been found during the past week for some considerable amount of Government and State Stock which have been offered for sale. In Railroad Bonds there has been WI little doing ; many of them are now quoted ex dividend. ' The prices at which business has been done are stated by Messrs. D.

MORE WOOD AND ROSERS. —A. meeting of the creditors of these gentlemen was held yesterday, when, although no precise estimate could yet be arrived at, favourable expectations were expressed as to their ultimate position, the general feeling being, that the liquidation should be carried on under au assign ment, and Mi. J. Walker and Mr. W. Bird were chosen trustees.

MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.—On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, a sailor, named William Steel, was coming out of the Blue Aiichor public house, in Charles street, at the back of the i i catre Royal, when he WAS attacked by two foreigners-John Manhetti and Antonio Harman. In the scuffle ittmlietti drew his knife, and stabbed Steel in the left site , near the region of the heart. The unfortunate maxi died in a few minutes. The foreigners were apprehended, and await the result of the inquest ; which will be held-to -day (Friday), x d MORE NAVVIES FOR BALAKLAVA. Yesterday the Prince of Wales steamer took on board the remainder of the navvies who are about to make the new road from Balaklava to the English camp before Sebastopol. Among these men, the number of whom amounts • altogether to 500, ars included besides common navvies, smiths, fitters, riveters, carpenters, plate layers, and.. engineers ; and as each of them is provided with every, requisite of his calling necessary to the speedy following, up of the work about to 'be commenced, there can ba little or no delay when the men arrive at their destira-. tion. According to the arrangement of Messrs. Peto, Brassey, and Betts, every man was required to he in a sound and healthy condition, not only in appearance, but to be proved so by the thorough examination of a medical man, in addition to which the candidate was to be of good character and tried steadinesss. Under such circumstances, and with the further pro visions already made for their comfort, it cannot be doubted that this corps will stand less chance of being " knocked urs" and becoming comparatively useless by exposure to the weather and the difficulties of unceasing labour than our own soldiers, who, unfortunately for themselves, have been the means of teaching us a few useful lessons in the art of campaigning. A finer body cf working men than were assembled yesterday on the Brunswick-pier, Biackwall, could not be produced by any, other nation in the world ; and, from tho' unbounded enthusiasm displayed by them on their departure, it is evident that these " miserable islanders" intend to show his Majesty the Emperor of Russia what can, and, we trust, shall be done, in a period of time so incredibly. short as that in which ilia proposed to construct the works to the camp. A staff of surgeons and nurses,. under the superin tendence of Mr. Howse, surgeon to the New Victoria Docks, has proceeded to the hospital ship at Balaklava, and no want of medical comforts is at all likely to be felt by our brave fellows, without whose assistance, as Cap.. tain Andrews has said, Sebastopol cannot be taken. HOw far the heavy duties now necessarily imposed upon our troops will be lightened by the aid of this effi cleat body of men remains to be seen, but there is every reason to believe that. throuola such welt-considered arrangements as have been made, ' and under such ma nagement as that of Messrs. Pete, Brassey, and Betts Captain Andrews, and the other gentlemen concern e d in this undertaking, it will prove successful. THE _NEXT HEIR TO THE THRONE OF RUSSIA. (Front GaVgnetai's Messenger.) Our readers will Lave observed a paragraph from the Leo,clon Press quoted in our paper on Wednesday, mys teriously alluding to an event "likely to open a new phase in the complications of the Eastern question," and hinting that a dynastic change is likely to take place "in one' of the great European monarchies." This mystical announcement has exeited some at tention, and it was supposed that one of the great German States was the " European monarchy alluded to. A correspondence from .St. Petersburg, supplied from a source the authenticity of which cannot we think be doubted, conveys, however, an impression that Russia is the Power to which reference is made by the Press. It is known that the two eldest sons of the Czar, the Grand Dukes Alexander and Constantine, are at the head, the first of the petice, the second of the war, garties. Just now the partisans of peaol are de-cribed as unpopular in Russia, and the Grand Duke Constantine, whose active and ambitious spirit has had, it is said, no small share in bringing about the present war, has availed himself of the state of public feeling, as far as it may be said to exist in the Emperor's dominions, to assert his claims as heir to the Rus,ian throne, in the place of his elder brother, bringing forward as a precedent the mode in which tile sceptre descended to the hands of his father, the present Einperor ; and. moreover, a ukase of Peter the Great, which states that the crown belongs de jure to the eldest son of a deceased monarch. According to the interpretation he pats upon it, Prince Constantine avers that, as when his elder brother was born his father, then Prince Nicholas, was not evsn heir to the throne, he cannot be considered as the sou of an Emperor, while he (Constantine), as born after the accession, has a clear right to the title. It is hardly necessary to say that Prince Alexander does not agree with this view of the case. As to the opinions of the Czar on the mat- ter, w© are left in the dark ; but, according to some ac counts, it would appear that the present war is due to his attempts to split the difference between his two suc cessors, his encroachments upon Turkey being ascribed to his desire to establish in the south an empire with Constantinople for its capital, thus to satisfy the am• bitious aspirations of Constantine, and avoid a civil war waged agaicst each other by the two brothers. SUSSEX AGRICULTURAL .REFO.RT FOR DECEMBER. We have had fine open weather during the past month; with occasional frosts ; and it has been a favourafile time for getting in the late sown wheat. It is a rare thing to see a gay looking piece Of wheat, as, owing to the dry weather in October, sowing was unusually late ; and we never remember the seed so long in the ground. before making its appearance : a very large portion is not yet up. The wheat is thick on the ground, without being tocr strong ; and we hear very little complaint of either slug or wireworm. Tares are looking well ; but owing to the very high price for seed there is a much smaller quantity mows than usual. There has not been much fluctuation in the price of wheat during the month; but there has been little activity in the trade. Millerswill only purchase for their immediate wants, and where sales have been pressed, lower prices have been taken ; but generally farmers have declined to give way. The future range of pricer must depend, to a great extent, on the prospect of the war in which we are engaged being protracted, and we fear there is little hope of a speedy end to it. If such shOuld be the case, .we think that higher pricei are inevitable ; for, notwith standing the large crop of large harvest, the stock of old wheat was so completely exhausted that the new crop was begun upon as soon as it was harVested, and there has been a large consumption ever since. Many per sons assert that there is not more wheat in the coun try than at the corresponding period of last year. We doubt if this be correct ; but we are quite certain that it is less than in average years, and as many of our sources of foreign supplies are cut off, we think that everything that can be obtained will be wanted before another harvest. The crop of barley was large ; and the supplies have much increased of late. Prices have receded 3s to 45. •per quarter from the highest point ; a very considerable portion is not fit for malting, and a great quantity is used for feeding purposes, as at present prices it is much cheaper than anything that can be used. The brewers are very cautious in their operations, and complain of the falling off in their trade. The high price of pro vi4ons causes a large decrease in the consumption of beer, and the extra tualt-tax ha a most prejudicial effcct..—Brigitfoa Gazette.

GALE IN THE NORTII,—The old year has passed away in a succession of heavy gales from the westward in the north of Scotland. In the Orkney and Zetland Islands these gales have been most disastrous both by land and sea ; but, althouglrmuch property has been destroyed, very few lives have been lost. SOLDIERS' ORPHAN ASYLU3f.—The first election of this valuable and patriotic charity will be held next July, for boys and girls, the destitute orphans of sol diers.

DEATH OP MAJOR GRZEME.—The death of Major George Drummond Grieme, K.H., Of Inchbrakie, took place at Tours, on the 20th ult. ' whence he repaired in August last for the be nefit of his health. Major Gnome obtained the commission of entrign in the British army in 1812, and joined soon after the Ger man Legion in the Peninsula. He served in that' corps in all the ca mpaigns, until the peace of 181 5 ; and when it was disbanded after the peace he went on half-pay as lieutenant. He then entered the Hano verian Guards, rose to the rank of major, and retired in 1841. Major Grmme was severely wounded at Waterloo in defending the position of La Haye Sainte. He received the Peninsula and Waterloo medals, and he also received the Guelpbic Order of knighthood in tne first chapter held in Hanover in 1816.—Perth Courier.
