Look on her work !—but look the more On her unwearied heart, And put aside the chamber-door That doth the daughter part From that dear moer, who before Taught her this c u nning art. She sleeps—that mother, sick and pale— She sleeps—and little deems That she, who doth her features veil All day, in flitting gleams Of anxious hope, this hour doth hail, But not for happy dreams• God bless her in her lone employ, And fill those earnest eyes With visions of the coming joy, Waiting her sacrifice, When they, who give her this employ, Pay her its stinted price ! Think how her trembling hand will clasp The treasure it will hold, With that which seems a greedy grasp — Yet not for love of gold : T hat look—that sigh's relieving gasp, Its deeper springs unfold. Think how her hasty feet will roam The market and the street, To purchase for her humble home The food and clothing meet, And with what gladness she will come Back to this poor retreat! Poor maiden! if the fair ones who Thy graceful 'broidery knew, Only one-half thy struggles knew, And filial piety. Methinks som drop of pity's dew e Would gem the proudest eye! It is not here its full reward Thy gentle heart will pe hard, rove ; Here ever must thy lot b B u t there is ONE above Who sees, and will not disregard, Thy consecrated love. —Dublin University Magazine for January AMERICAN CURIOSITY When ascending the Delaware in a steam—. honour to excite the attention of one of these inquisitive gen tlemen. As soon as he had discovered that I was nin a g stran frgom er, he began by standing in front of me, and exami me head to foot. " A foreigner, no doubt," h e began country ?" This was the grand question, but I left him to p onder on it. He continued his survey ; I changed my place ;he followed me ; I looked hard at him, to express my dissatis faction at his staring. Far from understanding me, he avails himself of this to come up and address me. Putting on as agreeable an expression as his pinched -up features would allow, he abruptly began in a snuffling, drawling tone " Sir !"—then, after a pause—" Where do you come from?" I replied, as sternly as possible, " From Europe." " Yes, I know ; but from what part ?"" Pray, sir," said I, in my turn, " where do you come from ?" ! oh, lam from Connecticut ; lam an American." " I have not the least doubt of it."—" Yes, sir • but what country i n Europe do you come from ?—that is What I want to know. "Exactly, sir ; but allow Me to inquire, are you in trade ?" " , Yes, sir lam a merchant ; but 1 was asking"--- " Ah, you ar e a merchant ; business pretty g ood in Conne cticut, eh ?" " Pretty well, sir; but may I ?"—_. How many miles from here to Philadelphia ?"—The American scratched his h ea d vigorously with his right hand, raising the left side oere f his hat a little. " Twelve m iles, sir. But, sir, you to w ave forge tting. I asked you"— "I am delighted h ma de your acquaintance, sir."—Then poli tel y turning from him, I exclaimed, " I beg your pardon ; but I see a friend below ;" and I left him completely bothered. Forthwith a cr owd of Americans fell upon the unhappV inquisr. 4, what's the gentleman's name?" " Who is he ?" Where is he going ?' " He we a r s mustachios. Is he a colonel ?'' 6,, c . &c. The American, No. 1, recovering from the asto nishment occasioned by my escape, replied, " I k now no thing about him ; but I soon shall." Act lI.—I am seated in the s a loon of t he cabin, reading. M y American friend, No. 1, descends, escorting a friend. They place themselves opposite me, and unrol on the tableing a ma p of Europe. Silence for a q uarter of an hour, dur w hi c h time they are apparently occupied in examining the m ap, but in realit y looking at me. At length they c king o took coura ge ; and the American , No. 1, exclaimed, " Sho state of things in Italy." The friend—" Yes, shocking in deed." They both stare at me. I read. They.examine the map again. American, No. 1, breaks silence agatn—" Queer matters in Hanover." The friend—" Yes, very queer." Another scrutinising examination from two pair of eyes. I turn over a leaf. Five minutes elapse. The American, No. 1, again raises his voice. " Dreadful war in Poland." " Yes, dreadful indeed," replies his echo. Then, turning to me with dignity—" Have you been in this war, sir ?" I raised my head from my book. Their eyes are fixed upon me with ludicrous anxiety. I cough. They exchange glan ces. I open my mouth. Their eyes gleam with pleasure. I answer slowly, in a deep base, " No—o !" I rise—l shut my book.

Ile held in his hand a jemmy—an implement used in house -breaking—and thus de scribed it to the twelve :—" This, gentlemen of the jury, is what the witness Grabbim, calls a jemmy.

BLUNDERS OF TUE PRESS.—Mr. Wilson, the Scottish minstrel, who is very particular in correcting the bills of his entertainments, was not a little annoyed lately, in the coun try, when he saw the song of " Beyond yon hills, where Lugar flows," thus announced : "Beyond yon hills, where sugar grows!" When the vaudeville of the Welsh Girl was played at Liver pool, the bills announced that the music was by Mr. John Parry, the celebrated Welch methodist, instead of melodist ! RULES FOR THE EYES IN CHINA.—" The Le-King, one of the classical books of the Chinese, contains rules for look ing at persons :—To look higher than the face indicates pride, to look lower than the girdle indicates sorrow, to look aslant indicates perfidy. Ministers of state must not look the emperor in the face; they may not look higher than th e vest which binds round his neck, nor lower than his girdle; they must fix their eyes upon his heart, and with profound reverence wait the high decisions of his sovereign will. CAUSES OF SoiclDE.—How strange, extraordinary, and inexplicable are the motives which often lead to the commis sion of suicide ! Many have been induced to rush into the arms of death in order to avoid the pain which they fancy ac companies dissolution. " Hie rogo. non furor est , ne mori are rnori 7" Others have been apparently led to the perpe tration of the crime by a desire to ascertain the sensation that attended the act of dying; whilst some have been influ enced by a feeling of fascination, and have stated that they experienced extatic bliss at the idea of self-immolation. — Forbes Winslow's Work on Suicide. FASHIONS FOR JANUARY.—The waistcoats after Christ mas are expected to be full, but the pockets are usually empty. There was considerable lightness in the arrange ments for the head, especially in the streets on boxing-night, and much spirit was evident amongst those who moved in their own peculiar circles. In some instances the coat was brought down horizontally, so as to lie level with the pave ment, and the hat was worn a good deal off the bead, while the watch and pocket handkerchief were left completely de gage. The coats, which were cut away a good deal last year, are not now seen, the wearers having cut away themselves ; and in boots there is nothing new, those of last year having had such a run that it is impossible to come up with them. In trousers the twelve shilling Swedish are still the favour ites. They are worn rather white at the knee, and are more or less shot with mud about the calves and ancles.—Punch. A. GRAVE JoicE.—A letter from New Brunswick mentions that some time ago the body of a child was found in the canal. No coroner being near, Esquire Rooney was called on and held an inquest upon the body, having duly summoned a jury of twelve good and lawful men, according to the form of the statute in such case made and provided. The body was livid and partially decayed ; the jury soon found a verdict of death from drowning, and the body was buried. The county of Somerset paid the expense of the inquest and burial. A short time afterwards it was discovered that this inquest had been held on a monkey, which had been lying on the bank of the canal for some time, and had been thrown into the water a few days before it was discovered. The jurors have been tormented ever since for their grave inquest on a dead monkey. One of them declares, " that if it was a monkey, his tail was cut off mighty close."—Trsnton Gazette. THE FORCE or POLITENESS. —The following pleasing anecdote is told by M. Casimir Bonjour, in the course of an essay on politeness :—" The Marchioness de Coislin one day solicited an audience of Fouche, then minister of police. The audience was granted, but Fouche, who was resolved to refuse whatever the marchioness might ask for, received her standing, with his elbow resting on the chimney-piece, and did not invite her to a seat. ' Citizen minister,' said the marchioness, I come to ask what crime my sister, Mad. d'Avaray, has committed, that she should be exiled.' She is an enemy of the government, and has the audacity to set it at defiance. ' She audacious ?' retorted the marchioness, she defy the First Consul ? How little you know her. She is so timid, that she would not even venture to say, " Citizen Minister, have the goodness to hand me a chair.'" At these words, Fondle was so discouraged that he lost all his courage to be hostile. Mad. de Coislin had a chair, and Mad. d'Ava ray received permission to return to Paris." LEGAL MEANING OF THE TERM " DEAR."—The follow ing scene, which took place on Wednesday last, in the writing chamber of an attorney in this town, well known for his liberal propensities, is a tolerably good illustration of the different degreel of respect which gentlemen by act of par liament are in the habit of doling out to their clients, and of the cause of that respect. The attorney in question was about to address a " newly caught" client on some matter of busi ness, and had called in his clerk to write a letter to his dicta tion. Attorney.—Take a sheet of letter paper, James Clerk.—Yes, Sir. Attorney.—Address at the top Mr. D— and then say, "Kendal, 11th January, 1813." Clerk. Sir. Attorney.—Then say, " Sir.—But let me see Mr. paid his account? Clerk.—lle has, Sir. ney.—Then address him "Dear- Sir."

The little mere was so much smaller than in my imagination, that I could hardly believe my eyes :—the great mere was half empty, and dwindled also to a paltry pond. On my right were the plantations of Mr. Ketts, overshading the road, and for which numerous cottages had been sacrificed ; on my left, —cottages enclosed in gardens. Still proceeding to the scene of my early years, on the right was a lodge leading to Mr. Holmes's new house, and water with a boat on it ;—a tine mansion, but overlooking the lands of Mr. Ketts. I then walked on to the vicar's, Mr. Castell ; but he was out. I looked for the church mere, and it was filled up. planted, and converted into a garden. I looked for the old Brooke Hall, the place of my nativity, and the seat of the happiness of my earlier years—to the road which led to it and its forecourt — its flower gardens and kitchen gardens—its stable-yards and coach-houses —and all were gone. The very place where they once were is forgotten. Here we had our boat, our swim ming, our shooting—excellent partridge shooting—in Brooke wood tolerable pheasant-shooting—woodcocks—in Seetbing Fen abundance of snipes—a good neighbourhood, seven miles from Norwich, almost another London, where my grandfather lived ; he knew everybody, kept a carriage and chaise, saw much company, and were almost allowed to do as we liked ; but the blank of all these gratifications now only remains.— Life cif Sir Asiley Cooper. PLOT OF A CHINESE PLAY.—You are aware that the Chi nese themselves have a national drama, but one the range of which is rather limited, the following being an outline of thie only plot ever attempted upon the celestial boards ; it s meagre, you will say, but in England I have seen successful dramas with far less :—Wang and Fang are neighbours. Wang's son, Bang, is privately attached to Fang's daughter, Twang. Twang loves Bang; but Wang bas destined Bang to become the husband of Loo, daughter to Pooh, an old friend of his : and Pooh has a son, Chew, whom he wished to marry to Twang.

ALLAN CUNNINGHAM.—Chantrey had caused a splendid vault to be built for himself, and, with much kindness pro posed to Allan Cunningham that he also should be buried in it. " No, No," answered Allan, I'll not be built over when I'm dead ; ru lie whar the wind shall blow over, and the daises grow upon my grave. EPITAPII.—The following lines are said to have been positively placed on the tomb-stone of a lady : " In heart a Lydia, in tongue a Hannah, In zeal a Ruth, in wedlock a Susanna; Prudently wise, and providently wary, For earth a Martha, and for heaven a Mary." LEAVING AN INN.—A capital lesson in life may be learned from the few moments preceding departure from an inn. The surly waiter that always said " coming " when he was leaving the room, and never came, now grown smiling and smirking ; the landlord expressing a hope to see you again, while he watches your upthrown eyebrows at the ex •rbitancy of your bill ; the boots attentively looking from your feet to your face, and back again ; the housemaid pass ing and repassing a dozen times, on her way nowhere, with a look half saucy, half shy ; the landlord's son, an abortion of two feet high, a kind of family chief remembrances, that sits on a high stool in the bar, and always detects something you have had, that was not " put down in the bill"—two shillings for a cab, or a " brandy and water ;" a curse upon them all ; this poll tax upon travellers is utter ruin ; your bill compared to its dependencies, is but Falstaff's " penny worth of bread," to all the score for sack.—Dublin Univer sity Magazine. THE GATES OF SAMNAT.—We are informed by an Indian paper, says the Times, that the famous sandal-wood gates from Ghuznee, to which such an almost mysterious value is attached, and which were accordingly made a subject of spe cial stipulation in the treaties between Runjeet Singh and the unfortunate Shah Soojah, are to be replaced in the tem ple (of Jughernaut, by the way) from which they were ori ginally taken, with every circumstance of pomp which can affect the imagination of the natives :—" The gates of Sam nat are to be escorted by one hundred men, and a proportion of Europeans from Nott's division, to which will be added twenty-five troopers from the Governor's body guard, tsn-cler Captain Herries, the aide-de-camp. The men forming the escort are to have double batta while employed on this duty ; the procession is to be received with every demonstration of respect in the various States through which it may pass en route to Guzerat, when they are to be again affixed to the Temple of Samnat, from which they were removed eight hundred years ago." RESPONSES IN THE CHURCH SERVICES.—A. late Bishop of the American Episcopal Church happened once (it is said) to be on a visit to his friend, who complained to him that he never could get any of his congregation to make any of the responses, or join in any of the confessions in the public services of the church. The bishop replied, that if he wonld let him perform the srvice on the following Sunday, he would undertake to remedy the evil. His friend readily assented. So, accordingly, on the next Sunday, the bishop began the service, and went as far as the Creed, without one single voice being beard united with his own, either in prayer, praise, or confession. He proceeded with the Creed, I believe in God the Father, " Ike. but still all were silent. He began again, and a third time, but still without any better effect. He then lifted up his hands, and solemnly exclaimed, " 0 my God, is my unworthy voice the only one that is to be heard in this Thy house confessing a belief in Thy holy name !" He paused, and then began once more, I believe," &c., upon which the whole congregation, struck by the force of this solemn appeal, with audible voices immediately joined with him in making public con fession of their faith. May it not be necessary to make the same appeal, in consequence of a similar neglect on the part of many congregations in this country ? GEORGE CANNING'S MOTHER. —Among the actresses was Miss Butler. whose history will be related hereafter, and Mrs. Hun, the mother of the celebrated George Canning. This lady, whose maiden name was Costello, occasioned, by her marriage with the father of Mr. Canning, a breach be tween that gentleman and his relatives, which was never healed : he entered in the Temple, but died in indifferent circumstances. Her second husband was Mr. Reddish, of Covent-garden Theatre; and her third, Mr. Hun, by whom she had two daughters. Being unsuccessful in business, they resorted to the stage for subsistence, Mr. Canning being then a boy at school, under the protection of his uncle. Munden was godfather to one of the daughters. When Mr. Canning, on his secession from office , became entitled to a retiring pension, he settled it on his relatives. It is honourable to the memory of that great statesman that, amidst his struggles for political advancement, and the bitter warfare of party animosity, he never forgot his duty to his mother. He duly corresponded with her, never omitting to write to her on Sunday, which he set aside for that purpose, as the only day he could account a leisure o ne. So invariably punctual was he, that, during his mission to Lisbon, not being always able to transmit his letters regularly, he still continued to write, and sent sometimes two letters by the same packet. Mrs. 'Hun is dead; Mit the letters are, prol 4 ably, in existence, it is hoped they will, at some future period, be given to the world, divested, of course, of all matters of a personal or confidential nature. We ought not to lose " one drop of that immortal man." Mrs. Hun was an indifferent actress, but a sensible and well-informed woman.—Memoir of Joe Munden, in Beutley's Miscellany. Vottrp: A.

Had I been here in Passion-week, I should have seen a spectacle that is enacted with all possible splendour in all the cities of Catalonia, and draws the people together in vast numbers. The whole his tory of the. Passion of our Saviour, as described by the Gos pel, is put into verse, and performed on a public stage. This is a remnant df the old mysteries and autos sacramentales, but differs from them in the total absence of a burlesque cha racter; so that the se►ious action of the play is not inter rupted, nor are low and vulgar jests mingled with the sacred words of the Bible. Au reste, the actors study their parts, and theatrical decoration and scenic effect are as much at tended to as any other dramatic performance. The actors are chosen according to their personal appearance or their talents for the stage. For our Saviour, a handsome man with a black beard is considered indispensable ; Judas must have red hair, and the holy woman must be beautiful. In Tarragona, two years ago, the part of Christ was given to a galley-slave, distinguished for his fine person and theatrical talents. On that occasion the town had to give security to a large amount, that the spectators, in their admiration for their favourite, would not afford him an opportunity to slip away from the hands of justice. The convict, accordingly, when the curtain had fallen on the glory of his resurrection. had to return to his prison, accompanied by the tears and plaudits of the public. A milliner and a laundress, on the same occasion, performed the Virgin Mary and another of the holy women, and they assure me there was a beautiful tableau when the body of Christ was taken from the cross.— Countess Hahn-Hahn's Letters (Review in Foreign Quar terly/). THE IRISH Boos .—I had an opportunity on this night's journey of observing a very remarkable phenomenon which is occasionally seen in the bogs in this district and in those of Connemara. We had not proceeded far on our way when we observed the night suddenly becoming darker and foggy : the darkness was so impenetrable that, for safety, we were obliged to refrain from guiding, in the slightest degree, the sagacious and enduring pony that we rode, being convinced that, under such circumstances, his judgment was more to be depended on than our own. Had we acted otherwise, it is not improbable man and horse would have perished in a bog hole, or have seen drowned in some of the numerous lakes, along which the unfenced road ran like a pier or quay. Shortly after noticing the increase of darkness, we were suddenly dazzled by immense cones of fire rising on all sides around us. These cones varied in size : few had less than five or six feet in diameter at the base, and many appeared to measure twenty or thirty feet at the same part. The number visible at any particular moment varied ; as well as I can re member, rarely exceeding thirty. They sprang up at irregu lar distances from each other : some seemed nearly a mile distant, other a few yards only. The form of each might be compared to that of the flame proceeding from a plate con taining burning alcohol. The shade of colour accompanying the flame was not blue ; it was reddish white. The light pro ceeding from them was not in proportion to their size and number. I was surprised to find, that, although they dazzled and occasioned dizziness by their sudden appearance and dis appearance, they produced but little effect on the profound darkness. These appearances continued for several miles : the cones of flame rose from the ground apparently to a height varying from six to thirty feet, and did not, like Will o'-the-wisp, move to and fro. A little after midnight it be gan to blow freshly from the northeast,with heavy rain; but, during the remainder of our ride, we did not see any trace of even the slightest flickering or flame. This luminousness was evidently the result of chemical action in the vegetable matter in the bog in a state of decay. Dr. M 4 Lynch, of Clifden, relates a similar case, in which he observed the same phosphorescent light while travelling through Connenirra on a winter's evening. As may be expected, the peasantry stand in great awe of these mysterious lights, and, as a matter of course, they are attributed by them to supernatural agency. By some they are called the " Dance of Death ;" and, by others, " Messengers from Fairy Land," come to welcome some spirit of Earth that is passing away to their Elfin bowers.—Sporling Magazine. ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.—The case Daw, otherwise Dawes, against De Feucheres, was finally disposed of, on Monday, in the Prerogative Court, London. This was a business of granting administration of the effects of the late Sophy Dawes, Baroness de Feucheres, to her immediate re lations in England. The suit had been in the first instance opposed by the Queen's Proctor and by the Baron de Feucheres, her husband, from whom she had been divorced by the law of France. Both had, however, withdrawn from the suit. The remarkable history of the deceased lady, her humble origin, her romantic connexion and marriage with Baron de Feucheres, and the vast extent of her property, (amounting, it is said, to nearly half a million.) principally left to her by the late Duke of Bourbon, have been the subject of endless paragraphs in the French and English newspapers. The deceased was at the time of, and had been for some years previous to her death, divorced from her husband, but she still resided in, and was a domiciled subject of France. The parties now claiming administration of her property allege themselves to be her lawful brothers and slaters, but the present Baron originally disputed their claim, their identity, and relationship. He has now, however, given up all oppo sition. Tile proctor for the Crown, alas, in one stage of the proceedings, (for there have been many,) put in an appearance on the possibility of a Crown interest arising, but he, too, had since withdrawn it. Dr. Adams was about to open the case, when Sir H. Jenner Fust said he had read the allegation, the evidence, and the exhibits, and he did not see any necessity for troubling the learned counsel to enter into the details of the case. The deceased was a domiciled subject of France, and had been divorced from her husband, who, by the law of France, had therefore no controul over her property. Of the fact of her being a do miciled French subject, there could be no doubt ; there could be as little doubt of the title of the parties before the court. It was quite clear that Richard Daw and Jnne Callaway were married in the Isle of Wight in 1775, and had had several children, of whom the deceased was one, though there was no baptismal register of her birth. The fact that they had a daughter named Sophy was, however, proved by an extract from the books of the House of Industry, into which she was introduced at the age of six years, and where she continued some time. Her identity was proved by the fact, amongst others, that she placed her mother in the Carmelite convent at Paris. Indeed, the only difficulty in the case has been created by the deceased herself, in repre senting her name to be Dawes, and herself to be a widow, when she married the Baron de Feucheres. She was evi dently a person of very extraordinary talents, and her history was a romance of real life, more extraordinary than any he (the learned judge) had ever read. She became acquainted with the Duke of Bourbon, from whom she obtained the large property which had now to be distributed. The facts and documents were so strong and so clear, that he had no doubt that the parties were the legitimate brother and sister of the late Baroness de Feucheres ; and though she had gone by the name of Dawes, there had been no family in the Isle of Wight of that name. He had no hesitation in presuming that the proctor for the brother and sister had proved their azicE,Guw., - effects, she being a French subject legally divorced from her husband, It was t 9 be said in favour of the deceased lady, that she never deserted her family, whom it was her great object to aggrandise. 'lle effect of this sentence will be to give to the family of the deceased all the property in England and France, amounting to about £200,000, except some pro: perty secured to the Baron by the marriage settlement, Mr. North, tavern-keeper, of Bath, was prosecuted at the Newbury petty sessions on Thursday week, by the. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for having over driven his horse in a match against time, which led to the poor animal's death; the defendant was fined in the sum of five guineas. The average amount of bullion held by the Bank of Eng land for the four weeks preceding the 7th instant, is stated to be £11,054,000, which is an increase of £543,000, as com pared with the preceding month, and an increase of £5,425,000 as compared with the corresponding period last EDUCATION-At the end of an important document, dated 1583, and recorded in the sett of the burgh, the follow ing extraordinary clause appears after the names of Provost and Councillors :—" With our hand at the pen led he the the notars underwritten, at our command,because we can not write ourselves, id est Mr. Alexander Gurthrie, notaries publicus, Scc."—Edinburyb paper.

The affair is expected to come before the magistrates at the Queen-square Police-office. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—About the 14th of December last, the farming stock, upon a farm called Balshaw Out wood, was sold by auction. It consisted of fourteen cows and a pony, all of which were purchased by different per sons, and most of them went into other stocks of cattle. Since the sale, it has been ascertained that the pony, and no less than eleven of the cows have died, from what causes nobody is able to conjecture. MAGNIFICENT BEQUESTS.—A lady of the name of Phillips, who died lately at Boulogne, bequeathed the sum of £45,000, in equal shares, to the four following charities : St. George's Hospital, the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, the Blind Asylum, and the Welsh Charity School, in Gray's lnn road.

I .—IMPORTANT TO SOLICI TORS, &C.-It is important that every person who may have business to transact in the Court of Bankruptcy should be made aware that no proceedings will be filed unless they be written upon paper of the exact size and form used by the Court, and that, however urgent the case, any affidavits or other papers, from whatever distance, will be rejected unless this rule be strictly complied with. The size used is 15 1-3 d by 91 inches. IMPARTIALITY.—An indolent youth, being asked why be was so shamefully fond of his pillow, to the manifest injury of his reputation, replied--" 1 am engaged, every morning, in bearing counsel : — lndustry and Health advise me to rise, —Sloth andfldleness to lie still; and they give their reasons at length, pro and con. It is my part to be strictly impartial and to hear with patience what is said on both sides; and by the time the cause is fairly argued, dinner is generally on the table." THE DREADFUL CASE AT WANDSWORTH. Daniel Williamson, who, as we stated in our last, had been brought up at the Wandsworth Police-office, accused of charges of an abominable nature, the victims being his pupils at the board ing school at Kingston New-town, was brought up for final , examination on Thu rs d ay. O ne case, in which h e was charged with a capital o ff ence, wa s proceeded with and proved, when the sitting ma g i strate Mr. Paynter, fully committed the accused for trial at the spring assizes, refusing to take bail to any amount.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 20 We have had rather more inquiry for Cotton to-day, and the trade show more disposition to purchase, at the reduced prices of new American descriptions : in all 4000 to 5000 bales have been sold. The weekly sale amount to 21,190 bales, of which 3,500 are on speculation account. Prices generally Bd. to id. per lb. lower this week, particularly for new Boweds. COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 23. The retrograde movement in prices has brought more buyers into our market, and comparatively more business has been done, although at extremely low prices. On Saturday 4000 bales, and to-day the same quantity, and the market N freely supplied. Buying is confined chiefly to a few consnruers. who seem dis posed to.stock themselves for some time to come with the present range of good Cotton. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The Trade have continued to buy with great caution, and to a moderate extent; and as holders have shown an increased desire to effect sales of the recent arrivals, prices have given way id to id per lb, more particularly in the fair and middling qualities of new American. Brazil are fully id per lb lower in the last fortnight. East India continue in fair request, but have declined id per lb.

We are now ten days without an arrival from abroad, with the exception of 43 barrels Flour; and limited as the supplies coastwise and from Ireland have been of late, those received into this port during the last few days are even smaller than usual, as will be observed from our import list below: still, a continuance of moderate weather must increase them to some extent, and in anticipation of this our millers and dealers having refrained as much as possible from purchasing, the trade generally has presented an inactive appearance since our last, without, however, any perceptible change in prices, though the tendency has certainly been to rather less firmness than was prevalent before. The present scanty imports not bolding out sufficient attraction to either local or country buyers, we have to report an uncommonly limited attendance at our Corn Exchange to-day, and an excessively dull lingering sale for every article of the trade without exception : calculating however, upon a revived demand on arrival of the vessels detained by the late stormy weather, holders continued to adhere steadily to the general currency stated in our circular of Tuesday ; and in the meantime, our quotations accord ingly appear to stand, in all respects, nominally unvariecl.

MANCHEVER CORN EXCHANGE, JAr 21 During the last week the trade has relapsed into its former in animate state, and although supplies are small,. the baysiness of the week has been of a very limited tharacter, , at prices scarcely so good as those of our last report. The state of the Liverpool and Wakefield markets has been much the same. At our Corn Ex change this morning, the hu,inesi doing is confined to retail sales, for the supply of present wants. Fine Malt is is per load higher, but with this exception, we may remark that the turn of prices is in favour of the buyer, as regards each article. There is however no disposition to press sales, and on the whole we do not see rea son to alter the quotations of our last. LONDON GAZETIE.-FRIDAY, JAN . . 20 PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED W. Moir and J. B.
