SERJEANT, No. 7, Lo vell's-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of Medicine. Price 2s. per Bottle. The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing :theumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow mg testimonials : Well-street, Cripplegate. SI 11,-1 have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my f ee t free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant.— I). W. STONE. Morley's Motel, Strand, 18th August, 1846. Sin,-1 have hitherto hada prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Sedeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude dueto you to say, in less than an hour from the time applied the Lotion, 1 felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom Toni Dam. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks, __l am yours, HENRI VILLENNEVE. 14, Belmont place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. Sr a,—l feel in duty hound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours.

AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS of the Borough of LIVERPOOL, called by the Mayor, pur suant to a Requisition numerously and respectably signed by Merchants •and Traders of the Borough, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to take immediate measures, by wise and prudent retrenchment, and a just revision of taxation, to equalize the ordinary Expenditure with the ordinary Income of the Country, holden on WEDNESDAY, the 31st May 1848, at Twelve o'Clock at Noon, in the Sessions'-house, Chapel street. T. B. MN:STALL, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair , It was moved by Mr. F ERG U S ON, seconded by Mr. CHARLES HOLLAND, and resolved unanimously, "l'hat the depression and want of confidence under which the trading and commercial interests of the country are now labouring are greatly aggravated by the preseLt unsatisfactory state of the national finances." It was moved by Mr. C. ItonEßTsoN, seconded by Mr. A H. WYLIE, "That the national expenditure is on a scale of unjustifiable extravagance." It was moved by Mr. L. HEYWORTH, seconded by Mr• RICHARD VAUGHAN YATES, " That, in order to remedy this alarming state of the national finances, a prudent and immediate retrenchment, with a view of bringing the expenditure within the income, is a measure of urgent necessity, and that resorting to any temporary ex pedient for meeting the deficit, by borrowing, is eminently calculated to add to the present distrust, and to increase the evils from winch the community have already so deeply suf fered." It was moved by Mr.J. R. JEFFERY, seconded by Mr. BOULT, "That, in the opinion of this Meeting, a large measure of Financial Reform, embracing the remission of those burdens which press upon industry, and the substitution of an equi tably adjusted scheme of direct taxation, in which Property should be made to bear its fair proportion, is imperatively demanded at the hands of the Government, the present mode of raising the Public Revenue by means of Customs and Excise Duties being unjust in principle, limiting, as it does, the comfort and subsistence of the People, and lessening their employment, and, as a consequence, materially retarding the progressive wealth of the country." It was moved by Mr. RICHARDTARRALL, seconded by Mr. THO- MAS ROGERS, That, if after every possible retrenchment and the removal, as far as practicable, of these imposts, which are inimical to the industry of the country, the revenue be found to require addi tional aid, it be recommended to apply the Probate and Legacy Duties to real property, or to levy the Stamp Duties on legal pecuniary instruments by_an equitable per centage throughout, and the substitution, as far as possible, of direct for indirect taxation." It was moved by Mr. J. Ssi ITH, seconded by Mr. BRODERI 88, "That the following Petition to the House of Commons be adopted by the Meeting, and signed by the Mayor: "To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, "The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of Liverpool, in Public Meeting assembled, " Showeth,—That your Petitioners, being extensively engaged in Trade and Commerce, have seen with much appre hension the National Expenditure gradually increase upon the National Income, until, at length, a large deficiency exists in the l'ublic Revenue. _ . That your Petitioners have seen, with still greater alarm, that this state of the Public Finance has not induced her Majesty's Government to adopt any measures to meet an emergency alike discreditable to the country and injurious to all the pursuits of, industry, none of which can flourish under a failing Exchequer. "That your Petitioners believe that the present amount of Taxation is greater than the industry of the country can sup port, and, if co n tinued, must tend to impoverish the nation. " Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly beg that your Honourable House will at once adopt the necessary measures to reduce the. Expeneiture within the Income of the country; and, by a large measure of Financial Reform, relieve industry from its present burdens, and cast upon property its fair pro portion of the public charges, a measure which, to effect these objects fully, ought to include the application of the Probate and Legacy Duties to real pr . operty, tke levying of the Stamp Duties on legal pecuniary instruments on an equitable per centage throughout, or the substitution, as far as possible, of direct for indirect taxation. " And your Petitioners will ever pray. " On behalf of the Meeting, " THOMAS 11. HORSFALL, Mayor." It was moved by Mr. WYLIE, seconded by Mr. JOHN SMITH, and resolved unanimously, "That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Mayor." NATURE'S CH lEFEST ORNAMENT.—AII who are aware of the great importance of a Fine Head of Hair, and its paramount interest over all that pertains to the personal appearance, have hailed the introduction of the BALM of COLUMBIA to their notice with the liveliest satisfaction. Of this high appreciation C. and A. OLDRIDGE have the most convincing proof, in the numerous voluntary testi monials and recommendations which they have received and published by permission from time to time. The following letter is strongly expressive of the advantages resulting from its use :-- _ " The Farm, Lymington, Hants, Feb. 9, 1848. " Gentlemen,—ln justice to you I think I ought to tell you that your BALM of COLUMBIA has entirely restored my hair, which, from a long residence in the West Indies, and illness there, was nearly all gone before I began to use it. I have no objection to your making use of my name in any way as re gards the sale of your BALM of COLUMBIA. I think it a duty I owe to the public in general.—Your obedient servant, " J. DELAP WILSON. " To Messrs. C and A. Oldridge, " 1, Wellington-street, the second house from the Strand, " London." OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to grow, prevents the Hair from turning grey, and the first application causes it to curl beautifully, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off.

A REMEDY FOR OUR NATIONAL GRIEVANCES, (From Blackwood's Magazine.) The first thing which is indispensably necessary towards the restoration of confidence and enterprise in the moneyed classes, and consequent employment and happiness in the poor, is to repeal the Bank Charter Acts of 1844 and 1845 ; and in lieu thereof to establish such a system as may pro vide a safe, sufficient, and equable circulation for the em pire. Above all, it is necessary to establish a circulation which shall be capable of expanding instead of contract ing, as specie is drawn out of the country. This is the one thing needful. Till this is done every attempt to alleviate the existing misery, in a durable way, will prove abortive. Nobody wants to have French assignats issued amongst us, or to have every insolvent who chooses to call himself a banker authorised to issue currency ad libitum, and substantially usurp the Queen's prerogative by coin ing worthless paper into doubtful money. But as little can the nation go on longer with circulation based exclusively on gold coin, and liable to be contracted as that coin is drawn out of the country ; thereby doubling the evil, by first inducing speculation when specie is plentiful, and then withdrawing the currency when it becomes scarce. Still less can this be borne, when a system of free trade has been established amongst us which has enormously increased our importations, especially in articles of food and rude produce, for which experience proves nothing but cash will be taken 1 y the holders ; and which, in con sequence, has induced a consequent tendency outward in the precious metals, from which, if no corresponding in crease in domestic circulation is permitted, nothing but contraction to credit, stoppage to speculation, and ruin to industry is to be anticipated. Least of all can such a sys tem of drawing in paper as the gold goes out be endured, when political circumstances have so much increased the demand for the precious metals in the neighbouring states ; when the revolutions in France and Germany have at once rendered hoarding general in those countries, and deluged us with their bankrupt stocks, for which nothing but specie will be taken in exchange; and when the coin menceme.nt of hostilities, both in Italy and Germany, has occasioned the usual demand for gold, as the most port able of the precious metals, to meet the necessities of war. The way in which the dreadful evils consequent upon commercial credit, and consequently universal employ ment, being kept dependent on such an unstable equili brium as that which gold must ever, and most of all in such circumstances, afford ; is perfectly evident. What is wanted is something to equalise the supply of currency; to contract paper when the precious metals are abundant, and, consequently, credit is becoming dangerously ex pansive, and to expand it when they are withdrawn, and, consequently, credit is iu danger of being ruinously con tracted. Sir R. Peel's system does just the reverse of this ; it pours paper in profusion through the country, and consequently fosters absurd and improvident speculation, when specie is abundant, and draws it in suddenly, and with frightful rapidity, the moment that the precious metals begin to be withdrawn, either from the effect of extended importations or foreign warfare. To go right, and obviate the dreadful evils which their system has in troduced, we have nothing to do but to establish a mone tary policy precisely the reverse. What is wanted is a sliding scale for paper money—a system which shall tend to contract paper issues when paper is abundant, and pour them forth with restorative and beneficial vigour the moment it begins to disappear. The next measure which appears indispensable to se cure internal tranquility in the empire is, to make a very considerable government grant, to enable the railway companies to complete the principal lines now on foot, but still in an unfinished state. Every consideration of justice, expediency, and necessity, calls for such a grant. A third step which is indispensable to disarm the Char tist agitation and restore internal confidence and peace to the country, is to provide on a great scale, and by Go vernment machinery. for the relief of the labour market. Various causes have now conspired to render this a matter of paramount necessity. In Ireland, the long continued agitation for Repeal, coinciding with the indolent and improvident habits of the people, the desolating effects of the potato famine in 1846, and the enervating conse quences of the noble Government grant of 10,000,000 to meet its necessities, joined to the seditious and treasona ble efforts of the insane Young Ireland party, have so completely paralysed industry, that the Emerald Isle may now be regarded as little more than a huge workshop of pauperism, a sort of officina pauperiei, from whence starv ing multitudes are incessantly issuing to deluge the ad joining states. The number of emigrants who left it for distant colonies in 1848 was above one hundred thousand, but that is but a small part of the dreadful stream of pau perism which incessantly pours forth from its still crowded shores. In the first nine months of 1847, the number of Irish who came to Glasgow was 49,981 ; and that number has since been on the increase, for, from the last report of the parochial board of Glasgow, it appears, that in five months and ten days preceding 25th April, 1848, the number of Irish who landed in Glasgow was 42,288 ! This isat the rate of nearly 100,000 a-year : and these squalid immigrants, let it be recollected, come to a7coun try where labour has already, from the effects of free. trade and a fettered currency, and the disastrous stoppage to orders produced by the French and German revolu tions, become a perfect drug in the market ; and when in and arouni the single city of Glasgow, above 100,000 human beings, including dependants, are already out of work ! Individual charity, l oca l e ff or t s , are nugatory against such prodigious masses of pauperism ; you might as well have expected the staff of the Russian parishes who have resisted the invasion of 1812. Perhaps there is nothing which has occurred, in our time, so much to be regretted, as that the noble grant of ten millions from Great Britain, to relieve the distress of Ireland during the famine, was not, in part at least, de voted to the purposes of emigrati on . We all know how it was spent. No inconsiderable portion was absorbed by the never-failing frauds of the local Irish agents employed in its distribution, and the remainder in making good roads bad ones. No part was employed in a form which could re-produce itself. There was one thing, and but one, already good in Ireland, and that was the roads. On that one good thing the whole magnificent grant was wasted. Now, half the grant, £5,000,000 sterling, would not only have provided 700,000 or 800,000 Irish with the means of crossing the Atlantic, but it would have trans ported Clem from the coast up the country to the frontier of the forest. That is the great point which is never at ttnded to by those who contend for free-trade in emigra tion; in other words, for liberty to transport the emigrants in crowded and crazy ships, half manned and ill pro visioned, to the shores of America, and then to leave them in sheds at the first harbour, to starve or die of fever." ON THE EPIDEMIC FEVER LATELY PREVA• LENT IN LIVERPOOL. BY DR. DUNCAN. The following table shows the progress of the epidemic. I add the deaths from diarahcea and dysentery, as these af fections appeared along with fever, and prevailing in the same localities, and under the same circumstances, may be regarded as forming the same epidemic : Average Weekly Deaths in the Parish of Liverpool. 1847. All causes. Fever. Diarrhoea, &c. January February 237 18 28 March 285 27 39 April May 3Bl 124 59 June.. July 470 194 60 August 5Ol 183 109 September October November December 1848. January February March . 184 22 0 April May (average of two 1 151 13 8 weeks) The maximum weekly mortality from all causes was 537; from fever. 215. The general mortality has now (May, 1848) come down to its usual standard, having been for the previous two years higher than the average. The mortality from fever is also reduced nearly to the average. The total deaths during the year 1847 were, from all causes, 17,262; fever, 5,239; diarrhoea, &c., 2,220. The general mortality was thus in the ratio of one in fifteen of the ordinary population, and the deaths from fever amounted to the large proportion of thirty per cent. of the total deaths. Of the deaths from fever. 1,952 took place in the public hospitals; and 3,287 at the patients' dwellings. As illustrating the origination of the fever in the worst conditioned districts and its subsequeht extension to the better portions of the town, I may state that of •1323 patients who died of fever at their own dwellings during the first six months of the year, 673, or more than one half, resided in Exchange and Vauxhall Wards, which are well known to be the worst in the whole borough in a sanitary point of view. During the subsequent six months —the epidemic being more generally diffused—the pro portion of deaths furnished by these wards was only 748 out of 1961. In the two best-conditioned wards of the town, (Rodney-street and Abercromby,) with a popula tion nearly equal to that of Exchange and Vauxhall only 140 deaths from fever took place throughout the year—i.e., 47 in the first six months and 93 in the second. Exchange and Vauxhall Wards furnished 1421 fever deaths during the same space of time. Of the total deaths from fever at the patients' dwellings, nearly one-seventh oc curred in the four worst-conditioned streets in Liverpool, viz., Lace-street, Crosbie-street, New Bird-street, and Brick-street. In Lace-street alone, 378 deaths took place during the year, of which 141 were from fever; and to these we may add nearly 100 more for the deaths of patients sent from this street to the public hospitals. It will give additional significance to these figures if I state that Lace-street contains 109 houses, (51 of which are situated in filthy courts,) and that its ordinary population is between 1400 and 1500. The epidemic, on its first outbreak, was remarkably mild in its character, but it gradually assumed a more ' aggravated type, until, if I may use the expression, it had passed its perihelion. I calculate that, during 1847, about 55,C03 persons suffered from fever, being one-fourth of the entire population of the parish in 1841. It must not be supposed that this was an imported fever, for, contrary to the general belief, very few, indeed, of the Irish (probably not more than one in 5000) were suffering from the disease when landed here. Besides, the epidemic did not make its appearance for fully two months after the commencement of the influx, when the overcrowding in the district first invaded had reached the fever point. The circumstances, in fact., were such as to enable any medical man to fortell the result almost as confidently as an astronomer would predict an eclipse. In a report on the health of the town in the beginning of February, when the mortality from fever was as yet scarcely raised above the average, I stated that, " should the destitute Irish continue to flock into Liverpool as they are still doing, there can be little doubt that what we now see is only the commencement of the most severe and desolating epidemic which has visited Liverpool for the last ten years." I did not then anticipate that within little more than four months from that time, the morta lity from fever would be raised 2000 per cent. above the average of former :;ears! But over-crowding, although the prime agent, was not the only agent at work.' It was not simply over-crowding, but the huddling together of a host of half-starved va grants., in miserable dwellings, in the worst-conditioned districts of the town—over-crowding in filthy, ill-venti lated houses; confined, abominable courts; and dark, damp, underground habitations, affording, in many in stances, not more than 30 or 40 cubic feet of air to each inmate. I ant aware that there are some who will think the mere destitution of the subjects of this calamity a sufficient explanation of the facts which I have described ; and I confess I am not one of those who think the sani tary cause promoted by concealing the truth that poverty exerts an important influence in the production of disease, and more especially in the propagation of fever. But 1 would simply ask such objectors whether they really be lieve that if these destitute Irish had been lodged in clean, well-ventilated, wholesome habitations, such as could be commanded by proper sanitary regulations, with 300 or 400 cubic feet of air to each inmate, fever would have prevailed among them to the extent it did ? Or, do they suppose that, crowded together in the dwellings I have described, the dietetic regimen of a London alderman would have materially diminished the register of deaths ? In connexion with this point, also, it must be remem bered that the resources of th e pu bli c purse an d of private charity were distributed with a liberal hand, and that no one ascertained to he really destitute was allowed to waut the necessaries of life. And now, what practical lessons are we to draw from this visitation ? Had it occurred a year later, or had the Sanitary Act come into operation a year earlier, there is no doubt that we should have been better prepared to meet it. All that the health committee of the Town Council had power to do under the circumstances was promptly done. Ar9nfiements were m a d e f or a d a il y i supply of water n the infected districts; the streets, and courts, and passages were cleansed daily ; and filthy houses were whitewashed wherever practicable. The parish authorities, with the assistance of government, provided hospital accommodation for 1600 patients, and made efficient arrangements for freely supplying the wants of the necessitous. But unfortunately, the most important powers conferred on the health committee by the Sanitary Act were unavailable at the time when they were most required. These powers, however, have since been most energetically enforced. Seven thousand eight hundred and forty condemned cellars have been closed ; within the last four months, 1616 filthy houses have been cleansed by the owners on notices under the Sanitary Act ; the streets and co ur t s i n th e p oore r districts of the town are daily visited by the scavengers ; a better supply of water is about to be introduced; additional baths and washhouses are to be immediately erec t e d ; a n efficient sys tem of sewerage and drainage is being carried out in!dert he direction of our talented borough engineer; the inferior lodging-houses are placed under proper regulation, a maxi mum number of lodgers being fixed for each ; nuisances, of all kinds, prejudicial to health, are dailysoug-htout, and re medied ; and everything promises that, at no distant day, Liverpool will present an example of the benefits which may be derived from sanatory legislation. REPORTFROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON SUGAR AND COFFEE PLANTING. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the present condition and prospects of the interests connected with, and dependent on, sugar and coffee planting in her Majesty's East and West India possessions and the Mau ritius, and to consider whether any and what measures can be adopted by parliament for their relief, and who were empowered to report the minutes of evidence taken before them from time to time, to the house, and also their opinion thereupon, have agreed to the following re report : Your committee have taken the subjects referred to them, and have agreed to the following resolutions : Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this committee, 1. That great distress undoubtedly prevails amongst al! who are interested in the production of sugar in the Bri tish colonies. 2. That distress has partially existed for several years ; and though it has been much more severely experienced within the last twelve mouths, it cannot be exclusively attributed to causes of only recent operation. 3. That slave emancipation was carried into effect with out sufficient provision having been made for providing many of the colonies with an adequate command of frce labour, and the rate of wages therein has consequently been very high, and the cost of production unduly . en hanced. _ _ 4. That the late fall in the price of sugar has led to a considerable diminution in the wages of labour in many of the British tropical colonies, which has been submitted to except on the part of the Creoles of British Guiana, who, it may he hoped, will speedily follow the example already set them by the African and Portuguese immi grants of that colony. And with respect to Jamaica, there is an absence of official reports as to any presci.t reduction of wages, and the evidence is limited to partirl success on particular estates. 5. That the British possessions have capabilities for the supply of sugar far exceedi ng t h e pro b a b le consumption of the United Kingdom, and that their ultimate pros perity must therefore depend upon the means of success ful competition with foreign producers, rather than upon any permanent protection of their produce in the British market. 6. That the change made in the sugar duties by the act of 1846, without any accompanying remedy for the diffi culties of producti on b y free labour in the British colonies, has precipitated the ruin of these possessions, by aggra vating the pressure under which they laboured from the foregoing causes. 7. That many estates in the British colonies have been already abandoned, that many more are now in course of abandonment, and that from this cause a very serious diminution is to be apprehended in the total amount of production. That the first effect of this diminution will be an increase in the prices of sugar, and the ultimate effect a greater extension to the growth of sugar in slave countries, and a greater impetus to slavery and the slave trade. 8. That if such diminution of production takes place, the richer estates remaining in cultivation will have the several advantages of a larger command of labour, of lower wages, of a lessened entire cost of production, and, if such exists, of a higher price. That a share of the advantages of a higher price in this market by the foreign producer is a consequence inseparable from the policy of reduced protection, estalilished by the changes in the sugar duties by the acts of 1844, 1815, and 1846. 9. That the greatest necessity exists for an immediate application of relief. _ _ .10. That from the evidence taken by the committee, it appears clear that the present mode of levying the duties on sugar imposes a great practical disadvantage upon many of the producers in the British colonies. 11. That whereas considerable time must elapse before any measures proposed for securing an ample supply of labour, or laws to be enacted against vagrancy and squat , ting, can be carried into eff , ct. and the success of those measures will depend mainly upon the co-operation and assistance of the resident planters and agents, and the state of distress to which the planters are now reduced is such as to preclude the possibility of any outlay on their parts for the reception, still more for the payment or maintenance, however short the contracts. of any immi grants placed by the government within their reach ; and whereas they are unable at present to bear any portion of the expense of enforcing laws for the suppression of va grancy, and the removal of persons from lands of which they may have illegally taken possession, but, on the con trary, they have in many instances, in order to prevent further loss, already determined upon abandoning their own properties. To meet these difficulties, your com mittee recommend a differential duty of 10s. in favour of sugar the produce of British possessions for a period of six years ; being of opinion that this temporary encourage ment would have the effect of preventing the immediate and otherwise inevitable abandonment of the majority of the estates, and secure time for bringing into operation the intended measures of relief. 12. That your committee are of opinion that in any system of immigration which may be adopted, great care must be taken by her Majesty's government to prevent any renewal of African slave dealing.—May 29, 1848. THE COTTON TRADE. The following able resume of the state of the Cotton market since the French Revolution, its present condition, and future prospects, we extract from Messrs. T. and H. Littledale's circular of the 3rd instant:— " The article of Cotton, and the position of all branches of this important trade, have suffered perhaps more than any other, from the extraordinary political events, com mencing with the French Revolution in February last, and the consequent disorganization of commercial rela- • tions in all parts of the Continent. The exports of Cot ton from the United States to France, and.the markets of the North of Europe, have since that period been all but suspended, and credits and exchanges have been com pletely disorganized —so sudden a ,check to the regular course of business in the height of the shipping season ln.s been much felt in the United States, and the appre hension of what might be the position► of this country under the circumstances caused a complete panic, and a great fall in pm ices of the staple in all the American mar kets. On a full re-assurance of the soundness of our in stitutions, and the credit of this country, large shipments of Cotton have continned so be sent forward, either in the execution of orders at the lowest limits, on consign ment, or as remittances. `• The prediction of a small crop in the States, from the effect of an unusually late spring, seems to have failed— the picking season has been interrupted, and the yield appears now to promise 2,250,000 to 2,300,000, although little more than 2,200,000 may reach the ports, and the present prospects for the growing crop are very favourably reported of. Our home trade has continued steady, and rather improving ; and the accounts from li.dia *and China have been, on the whole, more satisfactory. Spinners feel the want of the usual demand for yarns for the continent, which, as welt as goods, are now lower than at any former period. At the corresponding prices of the raw material (also as low as at any previous time), they do not seem to fear some accumulation of stock. Up to this date our consumption of cotton, which has in creased this year 4,658 bales per week, being of American 19,000 againstl4,B9o; total, 21,234 against 19,730 last year, which is satisfactory. The market, which was looking more steady in the early par; Of May, has gradually -be come more and more heavy, at declining prices. The ex port demand, which sustained the better qualities, has now nearly ceased, and the wealthy spinners and capi talists, low as prices are, do not at present shew any dis position to interfere. The salc:s in the list five weeks amount to 151,130 bales, for export 12,330, on speculation 6100—leaving for the trado 132,800, or 26,600 per week. " The import has been very heavy, a moun ti ng to 294,948 bales, of which 274,000 are from the United States, and there are still at sea for this port 160,000. The stock of American is increased to 361.380 bales against, 358,200 this tune last year. Total stock 520,060, - against 499,800 bales. " Of East India - Cotton we have not much more to ex pect before the autumn. Consumption has fallen off, and prices are almost nominal beyond retail sales. 9200 bales have been sold in five weeks. The import has been 5600 bales, and the stock is now 66,000 bales, against 81,000 bales. " The following is the table of the receipts, in the Ame rican ports to last dates :-- 1 North , Other!

LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. INSURRECTION AT PORT-AU-PRINCE. Since the intelligence by the West Indian mail which appears in another column, was printed, we have learned that just prior to the Severn steamer sailing from Ja maica, the Haytien schooner Warrior, from Pert-au- Prince, brought the following very serious intelligence from St. Domingo : " An insurrection commenced at Port-au-Prince on the 23rd of April, with a large body of armed men marching into the capi:•al and parading the streets, giving it out- as their intention to depose the President and appoint ano ther in his place. This was immediately met by the Pre sident sending a messenger to the insurgents, accompanied . by a detachment of soldiers and two hundred horse • guards ; but, every effort to effect a compromise proving abortive, a serious conflict took place, which ended in the - defeat of the insurgents, with considerable loss on both sides. The bodies of those who fell belonging to the Go vernment were removed during the night, while the re mains of the insurgents were exposed on the following morning as a public example, their heads being chopped off and their bodies hacked about in the most horrible manner ; many in whom life was not extinct being sub jected to the same treatment. For several days after not a person of colour was able to walk the streets without being immediately assassinated by the Government troops, to whom the utmost licence was given ; the bodies of those so assassinated were carried off in cartloads to the beach, and there buried in deep trenches. The houses of the British and French Consuls were crowded to excess, anti such protection as they could afford was readily given, but the absence of a British shin of war was severely felt. These proceedings in Port-au-Prince were shortly followed by an insurrection in the south, to quell which the Presi dent Soulouque had marched, it was reported, at the head of 6,000 men, but the result had not transpired. Another disturbance broke out at Miraguane, to which the Presi dent forthwith rep ired at the head of a considerable force, and meeting the insurgents on the 30th of April, routed them with little trouble, and was thence on his way to Aux Cayes. A proclamation had in the meantime been issued . ..)y the Governor denouncing the following persons as traitors, to be seized and shot without the slightest ceremony, viz., Preston,—Colonel Guignard Margion e Bance, Chicitte, Barrott, Blockhurst, Paul Emile, Archer, St, Armand (a barrister,) Mondcsir, Sanilouge, Dnmai L'Espinasse, and Solomon Zamor. Most of these, how ever, are understood to have effected their escape. Among the number shot by order of the President at Port-au- Prince were Dr. Marlet, H. Brouard, Landon, Le Mr monien, Francois Esteve, L. Cerisier, Commander N. Basquinat, Colonel Ize, and Gener a l Destouches. Some of the condemned insurgents had succeeded in getting on board the the French corvette Danaide, 22, lying at Port• au-Prince." CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—DISLOYAL MACHINATIONS.— From Cape Town journals of the Ist of April, it appears that Sir H. Smith had found it necessary to issue a ma nifesto, addressed to the emigrant colonists in the terri tory beyond the Orange River, warning them against the criminal designs of some interested persons, and express ing his determination to maintain, by arms if necessary, the British sovereignty/and carry out the proclamations that have been already issued. The 25th of March was observed as a day of thanksgiving throughout the colony for the restoration of peace. WHOLESALE HORRIBLE I MurenEßs.—Advises received on Saturday at the home Office, from the Governor of New S u 1 Wales (Si Charl(sFitzroy), communicates the particulars of several revolting murders, alleged to have been perpetrated by Mr. Thon.as Coutts, one of the most wealthy settlers in the colony. The shocking transactions took place at Grafton, in the district of the crown lands. Early in the year 1840, Mr. Coutts arrived in the country, and took a very large allotment of ground, which he stocked with from 800 to 900 head of cattle, and 5000 sheep. For the first two years the natives evinced the most sincere feeling towards Mr. Coutts, but subsequently became dis contented. Two of Mr. Coutt's agents were waylaid and murdered, and also a tine intelligent boy. The stock was e ith er missing, sold, or killed and boiled down. Other set tlers fuff.:red proportionately to the extent of their stock. These losses, coupled with the horrible atrocities named above, led to a feelin' of revenge agaiust the aborigines on the part of the English settlers, and, it is stated, though not clearly substantiated in evidence, that, all means to detect the ringleaders having failed, secret poisoeibg wilS' had 14,c,our(ii, to, fina a ghat maily, larly on Mr. Coutt's estate, have fallen a sacrifice. Numerous suspicious deaths occurring, a searching invest' - gation was entered into, the result of which was the instant apprehension of Mr. Coutts. In a camp on Mr. Coutts's land were disc3vered eight dead bodies, whose deaths, it was ascertained, were the result of poison—arsenic, it was supposed. Several other bodies were found itoth parts. On the 7th of February, the prisoner was 14,Tot)g`ht • Pti up before the Chief Justice, Mr. Sergeant Mannia4,e. cI N DA, k n admitted to bail in very heavy penalties—himself A 4:1000 and two Securitiee of X5OO each. • a • • . ; ••-: v •IV1k; v.
