And, moreover, presuming that a demand should shortly spring up, that our mills should be driven full time, and our ordinary production take place, we shall immediately find ourselves estopped by the limited stock of cotton in our ports. Since November we have been diminishing our consump tion of cotton, the average weekly consumption having been only 20,960 bales in 1847, whilst in 1846 it realised an average of 27,780 hales. Yet with this diminution of upwards of a quarter of our consumption for a period of ten months, which would make a difference in round numbers of 270,000 bales to be added to the stock on hand, as compared with what would have b . 2en the result of the average consumption of 1846, we have on the 31st of August a stock of cotton on hand amounting to 409,340 bales only, against 764,190 bales at the corresponding period of last year. Nor does there seem any great prospect of this defici ency being made up for a while to come ; for, although such has been the demand for freight for breadstuffs from the United States during the past few months, that we can scarcely believe that all the available supply of American cotton has come forward, the falling off of the crops since 1846 has created a vacuum which will take some filling up; and the prospects thus far do not warrant any hope of any movement in this direction during the pre sent year. In 1844 the crop was 2,375,000 bales ; in 1845, 2,150,000 bales ; and for 1846 it is not likely to be more than 1,800,000 bales. Thus sup posing the crop of 1844 to be about the supply required for the consumption of the world—it is perhaps a little more—we have in two years a hiatus in the supply, amounting to 800,000 bales. A total suspension of, say six weeks, would add, say 125,000 bales to our stock on hand • and a nother 125,000 bales wo u ld p ro bably be added by arrivals —in all 250,000 bales in the six weeks, to be added to our present stock of 409,340 bales, which would almost bring us to the state of things last year. But the question arises,—is such a ily respectable agents of that such passengers on board — led ourselves that not one such case can be authenticated (against the authorities of this Captain, or the nigr vessel' would take an At length we observe that the attention of ware housemen and retailers has been called to the sub ject, and the result is an agitation for a uniform measure of 37 inches, or 36 inches—the legal yard, with the thumb's-breadth usually given, or affected to he given, for measuring out. The demand is perfectly reasonable, although - fliere is nothing magical about the particular length of 37 inches. 36 inches would do as well. All that the public want is uniformity; and all that the trade want is honest worth for their money and the discontinu ance of those continual demands for abatement to which they are at present liable. We observe that the demand for 37 inches ex tends to silks, ribbons, lace, &c., the bulk of which articles have been usually sold stretched measure, or exactly 36 inches, no thumb's-breadth being al lowed. It matters little whether or not this is conceded, provided all fabrics be brought under one regulation. The English yard is 36 inches ; and certainly nothing ought to be recognised as a yard which is under that standard. Probably the exact standard would be best for all parties and all fabrics, as in that case the vendor of anything which does not reach 36 inches would become amenable to the law equally with the tradesman who uses deficient weights. we have sati town.

Fortunately for our vindication from his sense less raving, most English readers know that they are not the " victims of disease, contracted on our own soil and in our own service" that we are send ing back to Ireland ; but only a few hundred out of the thousands of the habitual mendicants, the confirmed victims of a visitation of Providence, whom the Irish authorities unblushingly thrust upon our shores, when threatened to be visited with the duty of supporting them, without either the.physical ability to work,. or a penny when they landed, to buy a potatoe.

POLICE COURT.—There was yesterday not a single com mitment at the Police-court for felony, and comparatively few parties charged with being drunk or disorderly, or both. The whole of the business, with the exception of a few trifling cases of assault, was accomplished before one o'clock. EXAMINATION OF MASTERS AND MATES.—At a meet ing of the Board of Examiners, held on Tuesday, the 31st inst. 1847, Mr. Andrew Abbott, late mate of the Jamaica, of Liverpool, was found du'y qualified for a first class master's certificate, which he had applied for; likewise, Captain Robert Broadbelt Trotter, late master of the Argentina, of Liverpool, was found duly qualified for a first-class certificate as Master, which was accordingly granted, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The announcement by the Bank of its ability to ad vance upon stock and securities at £5 per cent. gave a firmer tone to the money market in London on Thursday, and prices of Consols advanced slightly. A further ground for confidence was the fact of the bills of Messrs. Prime, Ward, and Co., previously refused acceptance by Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., upon whom they were drawn, Laving been honoured through the mediation of friends of the former firm. As a proof, however, that something more is required to restore confidence, on Friday prices declined, a sale of £lOO,OOO at 884- being sufficient to damp the feeling of the dealers. The uneasiness created by the threatening aspect of our foreign relations, and a demand for money to meet the seventh instalment of the Irish loan, contributed to the effect noticed. Bank Stock left off on Friday at 1951- to 1971.; Reduced Three per Cents., 88; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 892- to 2 ; Long Annuities, 9 to 1-16th ; India Bonds, ss. dis. to par; and Exchequer Bills, 3s. to 6s. pm. Foreign Secu rities closed less buoyant than at the beginning of the day. On Saturday the Stock Market was firm. Consols for Transfer on Tuesday were up to 87L to and for October 88 to 1; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were 891 to 1 • Bank Stock was 197, and India Stock 241 •, the Unfunded Debt was 3s. to 6s. prem. The Foreign Secu rities were merely nominal; and, although the accounts from the Peninsula seemed to be more satisfactory, they did not stimulate business. Portuguese Four per Cents. might be called 241 to 251, and Spanish New Three per Cents. 294 to 301. Mexican Stock was marked 181 to 191. Brazil Bonds were at 83 to 85. Dutch Four per Cents. were 891. In Railway Shares the transactions were moderate in amount. Further failures amongst commercial men continue to occur, amongst the latest of which are two firms of this town, and Mr. A. Roux of London, an extensive shipper of manufactured goods to Valparaiso, whose liabilities are put down at £lOO,OOO. Some Continental failures have also been announced one in Paris to a considerable amount. A failure has also taken place in Greenock — that of Messrs. Gray, Roxburgh, and C0.,--which, how ever, is not extensive ; and one in the north of Ireland, names not announced. It is anticipated that, owing to the great reduction which has taken place in the prices of breadstuffs since the shipments coming forward from the United States were made, many of the bills drawn against them will exceed the value of the article shipped, in all which cases, where the houses drawing them are not of undoubted credit, the bills will no doubt be sent back dishonoured. Many of these are remitted to-cover orders and their dishonour must still he manutac- , sent state of com- he pre- mercial affairs, the following statement, shewing t sent position Of the currency, as compared with its posi tion at the same period last year, will be of interest _ .

Very little business, however, has been done. For yarns there was more enquiry, at lower rates ; but in cloth, neither as regards price nor de mand, was there any change." The Corn Markets have again declined throughout the country, Liverpool, however, continuing to feel the de pression least, the imports here being readily taken off for consumption at a slight reduction. The weather for the last few days has been broken, and a fair quantity of rain has fallen, which was much wanted for the green crops. The harvest, however, may now be considered as beyond danger, most of the grain in this and the hem counties being got in.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morning, Margaret Burns, aged 39 years, who lived in Launcelot's Hey, went into the - yard, apparently well, and was there found in sensible. She died soon after. She was much given to drinking. 1 MADEMOISELLE JENNY Lirro.—We are gratified in , being enabled to inform our readers, that this distinguished , cantatrice will attend the Theatre Royal this evening ; having expressed a wish to be present, a private box is reserved for her.

LIVERPOOL CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS As- SOCIATION.—We perceive that the Rev.

We have no doubt that all such persons will be glad to have an opportunity of hearing' so eloquent and complete an exposition of their duties, re sponsibilities, and privileges, as will doubtless be afforded them by this opportunity. SMUGGLING. — At the Police-court yesterday, a seaman named William Jones, was charged with smuggling 18 lb. of foreign raw tobacco, which he had put into a bag, and was taking away from the Brunswick Dock, in a wheel barrow. He was remanded until the instructions of the Board of Excise Commissioners in London respecting him be received. Another seaman, a German, for concealing 5 lb. of manufactured tobacco , was fined 505., or in de fault, to be imprisoned fourteen days. HISTORICAL PAINTING OF THE LAYING OF THE FOUN DATION STONE OF THE SAILORS' HOME.—We learn that it is projected by an able artist, Mr. Tatham, to paint a large picture, with likenesses of the principal parties pre sent, of the scene presented on the occasion of the founda tion of the Liverpool Sailors' Home being laid by Prince Albert. We have had shewn to us a beautiful lithographed impression of one of the portraits to be introduced —that of the Dock Chairman, Mr. 3. Bramley-Moore, which is a striking and spirited likeness ; and if the other portraits in the tableau be at all approaching to it in merit, the pic ture will be a most valuable and interesting one.

At an earlier hour than usual, the Theatre began to fill ; and we must say that every thing was arranged with great tact on the part of those who had the management of this department. The house was not what we should be disposed to call crowded ; but, considering the prices, and that the pit and lower boxes were let at 31s. 6d. a seat, the upper circle at 215., and the gallery and slips at 10s. 6d., such a house could only have been assembled by an attraction of the first order, such as we may regard the attraction of Jenny Lind and the distinguished artistes by whom she is accompanied. Moreover, the arrangement by which 'it was provided that no money should be taken at the door, assured every party taking tickets that room sufficient for comfort would be afforded. To the Liverpool play-goer the coup d' witil of the gallery—on this occasion dignified by the title of the amphitheatre—was a little startling, being filled with well-dressed people, quite equal in re spectability of appearance to the ordinary lower box audiences, instead of the usual complement of seamen and other similar play-goers by whom it is usually filled. We must say that the queen of modern cantatrices did not, in the opening scenes of the first act, electrify us, as many doubtless expected. Her style is the reverse of that which aims at catching the applause of an audience in the opening scenes as a sort of guarantee of subsequent plau dits... In the first portion of the piece she was pleasing and exquisitely natural. Not a passion was torn to tatters in music ; no effect sought where effect was not intended ; no ornaments superadded either to the score of the com poser, or the sense of the writer of the libretto. The songstress warmed only with the interest of the situ ation in which she was placed ; but even in her tamer mo ments her power was manifest. You could see thatit only needed to-be called upon to be there. In scene third, in " Sorra if sen," she gave an intimation of the quality of her voice for the first time ; and in the duet "Ah Virrei" with Gardoni, she was most felicitous. In the ninth actress we ever heard in the part ;. but he scene 11th, which concluded the first act NO one who trayed the first two or three acts, could have imagined that the same actress could be capable of portraying so much passion, and that so exquisitely.. We must not omit to state that in Madame Solari., Signor Gardoni,, and Signor Solari, Mademoiselle Lind had accessories of the first order, who ought not indeed to be passed over, and should not be, but for the fact that just now we are writing, and all the world are thinking, of Jenny Lind. In scene the 2nd of the second act, the dialogue between Amina and Teresa were given with- great effect, and showed the powers of Mademoiselle Lind to great advan tage. Her acting in the third scene was most effective ; as indeed was her acting in both this and the fourth scene. In the latter scene the close was most beautiful. Scene sth is the celebrated scene in which Lisads about to be wedded to the betrothed of Amina ; and scenes six and seven, as given in the libretto of the piece, carry the tale on to the approach of the denouement. In all these Mademoiselle Jenny. Lind is exquisite ; but it is in the closing scenes—those in which depth of feeling has to be portrayed—she is most successful. In the fine melodies which concluded the piece she was vociferously applauded. At the close of the performances the Square was crowded, and most inconvenient for those who had to walk a few yards to meet their conveyance ; and Mademoiselle Jenny Lind was almost carried by the multitude, in their enthusiasm, to h was followed by thousands along the s carriage, which ANALYSIS OF THE 'NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS The following analysis of the new House of Commons seems to have been carefully compiled :—_ English counties...
