firiptriat HOUSE OF CONIMONS.-3sloNnAl. A new writ was issued for the borough of Southanipto4, Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply to a question from Mr : P. Howard, said it was the intention of the Government to pro ceed with the Bankruptcy Bill this session. In consequence of an interview which he had had with some mercantile gen. tlernen from the city, it was his intention to introduce cer tain alterations. Ile should, therefore , propose that it should be committed pro forma, to introduce those amendments, and on Wednesday it might be discussed in committee; but he did not anticipate any oppos ition to it. With respect to the County Courts Bill , his proceeding with it this session would depend upon the progress which might be made in the comm ittee on the Bankruptcy Bill on Wednesday. On the motion of Mr. CUIPPS, a new writ was issued for Belfast. In reply to a question from Mr. COBDEN respecting the 'Montezuma and another steam-frigate fitting out at Black well, one of which was stated in the Morning Herald of that day to be for the service of Mexico against Texas. Sir R. PEEL said he would inquire into the facts. On the motion for goi.ig into a committee of ways and means. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved as an amendment to refer to a select committee the petitions of Dr. M`Douall and the in habitants of Deptford, complaining of his arrest, and of the conduct of the metropolitan police in preventing a public meeting of the inhabitants of Deptford on the 26th of July. This led to some discussion, in the course of which Sir J. Graham and the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals defended the conduct of the police magistrates and the police, which was warmly assailed by Mr. Sheil, Mr. Hawes, and Lord Palmerston. Sir R. PEEL said th a t if there were no other means of as certaining if the police had acted legally, there might be some reason for the appointruenf a committee ; but there were other means, for the ordin?y tribunals of the country were open to the parties aggrieved, and the decision of those tri bunals in an action for false imprisonment would be much more satisfactory to the country than any decision of the House of Commons. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE replied. The house divided, and the amendment of Mr. Duncombe was negatived by a majority of 89 to 30. The house then resolved itself into a committee of ways and means : and votes for exchequer bills, surplus of ways and means, &c., were agreed to ; after which, the house re sumed. and the report was ordered to be received this day. The CHANCELLOR of the Exchequer moved the recommit tal of the Tobacco Regulations Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE opposed it as vexatious, and unlikely to attain the object for which it was intended. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the bill should be re-committed that day three months, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had heard a great deal upon both sides of this question from the parties interested. Some saying that he was allowing too great re laxations in the bill, whilst others required permission for unlimited adulteration. To meet the objections to the bill as far as possible, he intended to introduce a clause to give fur ther time for the disposal of the stock on hand of this adul terated tobacco, and a still more extended time for the dis posal of the stock of snuffs. After some discussion, in which Mr. HAWES, Dr. Bow- RING, and Mr. M. PHILIPS took part, the house divided, and the amendment was negatived by a majority of 53 tog. The house then went into committee, and some amend ments were made in the. clauses, after which the house re sumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Wed nesday. On the motion for bringing up the report on the Eccle siastical Corporations Leasing. Mr. V. Small opposed the measure, and moved that the report should be brought up that day three months. Sir J. GRAHAM admitted his conviction that all the avail able means of the church should be resorted to before the state was called upon to contribute to church extension. This bill had a tendency to promote church extension by means of the property !of the church itself, and it was called for by the spiritual wants of some of the largest towns in the kingdom. After some discussion Mr, V. SMITH declined to divide the house upon his amendment, and the report was recei ved. The Bribery at Elections Bill report was brought up, and some clauses were introduced to put a stop to treating and head money, shortly after which the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY. The Insolvent Debtors' Relief Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN the bill for the suspension of so much of the Slave Trade Bill as related to Portugal was read c second time. Lord BROUGHAM then brought under the consideration of their lordships the present state of the slave-trade in a forcible speech. The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was extremely difficult to discover measures which would put an end to this and other evils alluded to by his noble and learned friend, and to relieve the country from the disgrace of their continuance ; but if his noble and learned friend Lord BROUGHAM would bring forward a bill upon the subject, the Government would take the matter into its consideration, with a view to carry it through all its stages in Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM expressed himself satisfied, and with drew his motion. _ . The Limitation of Actions (Ireland) Bill went through committee. _ The Bribery at Elections Bill was brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. Several bills were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. Sir I. EASTILOPE, in moving for returns, asked Sir R. Peel whether it was his intention to take the subject of church-rates into his consideration during the recess, with a view to bring in a measure next session for the settlement of the question. He also hoped the right hon. baronet would say if he did not mean to take the subject into consideration whether he was satisfied with the present state of the law. Sir It. Ps i L said, he could give no assurance that he would bring in a bill next session for the settlement of this question, nor could he say that he was perfectly satisfied with the state of the law upon the subject. In reply to a question asked by Mr. COBDEN on - Monday night relative to two steam-vessels fitting out at Blackwell for the service of M e Tien to he ennployed against Te-22 , 18. Sir It. PEEL said that those vessels, the Montezuma and another, were to be at the disposal of the Government of Mexico ; but strict orders had been issued that all means should he taken by this country to preserve strict neutrality. The Bribery at Elections Bill was read a third time and passed. On bringing up the report of the Designs Copyright Bill, Mr. WaLtAms moved that it be re-committed. A lengthened discussion followed, and on a division, the amendment of Mr. Williams was defeated by a majority of 73 to 14. Mr. WILLIAMS subsequently discussed the various clauses of the bill, and moved various amendments, some of w hi c h were agreed to, and many of which were negatived, after which the bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time on Wednesday. Lord STANLEY moved the postponement of the adjourned debate on the Newfoundland Bill until this day, and said the bill was so important that he hoped it would pass during the present session. Mr. O'CoNNELL said, he thought it impossible that the bill could pa's during the present session. Sir R. PEEL postponed, until Friday, his motion for an address to the Crown to erect monuments to Lord Exmouth, Lord de Saumarez, and Sir Sidney Smith. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OP COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Sir G. CLEaR moved that the house should sit at twelve On Thursday. No notice having been given of this motion, it led to con siderable discussion and opposition on the part of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, who intimated that the object was to get through the government business, and then evade the mo tions by not making a house at four o'clock. Sir R. PEEL eventually said, that, as no notice had been given, the question had better not be pressed ; but he im mediately gave notice that he would on Thursday move that the house should sit at twelve o'clock on Friday, and every other day until the close of the session. The Bankruptcy Bill was postponed until Friday at twelve o'clock. The adjourned debate on the Newfoundland Bill was then resumed by Mr. PAKINGTON, who supported the bill at con siderable length. Mr. C. BULLER opposed the bill, and contended that it would enable the Crown to ride over the representatives of the people in the General Assembly. Sir H. DOUGLAS said that all that had since occurred in Newfoundland. and the various despatches which had beea laid upon the table of the house relating to that colony, tended to convince him of the truth of the predictions he had hazarded in 1832, that in the then state of society nothing but evil could result from giving to the colony a constitutional form of government. All the disorders and difficulties which were now complained of in reference to Newfoundland had been occasioned by the constitution which is now considered necessary either to take away or modify. Re-action always followed intemperate acts, and it was quit e c lear that they must, retrace their steps. They mast either modify the constitution which they had so un advisely given to Newfoundland, or they must take it away altogether. Of the t wo evils he was dis p osed to chops,: lessere.,and„would rather modify the constitution than destroy it: With regard to the bill for that purpose now befor e the house, he approved of that part of it which increased the qualification, and ha regretted much that a thunqualificati9n had not been demanded when the consti t, n was tirSt - even Whenever they gave aconstitution to a colo n s / ' . . . quali fication. IPY should, in Itts opinion, require a high qtili lish in a mut v it thought, however, that any attempt to estab .inated form a constitution like that of England t in o a re e c o e l i o v ney i , t, and a biclithe state of society was totally unfitted the legislatare b,,ti t , o endeavour to combine in one branch of ples, must necessarily aristocratic and democratic princi would inevitably prev l a k 7 dangeroas. One or the other d ere long. He believed the great error we had fallen into, constitutions to our colonies, in g eneral, sea that we endeavoured to infuse into them t oo much of the democrati c neil that was the foundatiPorinciple. It was the colonial COU 11 of monarchial principles in our colonies. lie should support the bill as the lesser of two evils. Mr. V. ffoundland c alled for MITS said legislatio that the n stat a e o,l :,f the colo n y o f N e w. the attention of the •atioof h ouse should have been sooner calledto ment. He suggest ed that the duration of theit by th e Govern lec this bill should be om itted alterin g the tinailfi opel cation of e„ - tors, in which case he would support the hill. After some observations from Mr. P. Ilow Aa p L or d STANLEY said it never was his intention 'to pr opose this bill as a pe rmanent measure, and he would therefore consent to have its op eration limited. He would also con sent to the omission of the clause altering the qualifi c a t i on, in order to procure for his bill more general support. Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that by these concessions ' the bill was strips of its most objectionable features, and he should offer to it no further opposition. Sir It. PEEL said that no blame could attach to the go vernment for not bringing thi s matter earlier before the house. Sir J. Harvey's despatch, upon which the measure was founded, was only dated the 9th of February ; and this bill had been brought forward in May. an_ d t had . been since delayed entirely owing to the way in which he house had been occupied with the great commercial measures upon which their sittings had been occupied. Mr. Wysz opposed the bill ; but, on a division, the amendment was defeated by a majority of 68 to 13. On the 'notion that the Speaker do leave the chair, e Mr. O'CoNsim.i. again .opposed the motion, and strongl y protested against the bill, and against the compromise which had taken pl ace b etween th e govern ment and the supporters of the late adiniiiistration. He felt it his painful duty again to take the sense of the house, or rather the sense of the benches, on the measure. After some di scuss i on t h e h ouse aga i n di v ided, and the 'notion was carried by a majority of 82 to 21. The house then went into committee on the bill, when an amendment, moved by Mr. O ' CONN ELL ' to reduce the qua lification from £lOO t o £5O , was negatived on a division by 88 to 13. _ . _ Three other divisions were taken upon the qualification clause, which was ultimately affirmed, as were the other clauses of the bill, except the sixth, which was reserved for future discussion. The Designs Copyright 'Bill teas read a third time and passed. The other orders. of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. FOARION INTRUJIGENCE, CHINA, AND INDIA. (From Yesterday's Times.) The Berenice, with the Bombay mail of the 18th of June, arrived at Suez on the 18th ult. Her mail reached Alexan dria on the 22d, at 3 a.m., Malta on the 23th, at half-past 3 a.m., and Marseilles, by the Polyphemus, on the 31st, at 6 a.m. China news to the 12th of April, and Sincapore journals to the sth of May, have been received. It was said that Yang, an Imperial Commissioner was en route to offer 40,000,000 dollars as compensation to the British for the expenses of the war, and the surrendered opium : also the cession of Hong Kong as the price of peace. The Chinese had already commenced removing the ruins and rubbish preparatory to rebuilding the Bogue forts. Some fighting had taken place at Ningpo, in which 1,100 British routed 6,000 Chinese, with the loss of from 500 to 700 slain. We had three killed and 40 wounded. The Agra Ukbar, of June 4 says that it was reported that an army of observation would be assembled at Allahabad in the ensuing cold season. SCINDE. Among the items of intelligence which have reached us from Scinde, and which may he depended on as authentic, are an announcement that a large army, said to be 25,000 strong, is advancing from Mushed to Herat, and that very suspicious conferences are being held at Hyderabad, between the Ameers and others, requiring the most vigilant atten tion of Major Outram. The Seiks are said to be in force on the Muree territory, without their object being understood. AFFG H AN I STAN. We have news from Jellalabad to the 29th of May. Akbar Khan had demanded 10,000 rupees for General Elphinstone's remains. The Delhi Gazelle of the 14th of May mentions that they had been interred, on the 30th of April, within the walls of Jellalabad. Akbar Khan claims that Dost Mohammed be sent back, and that we evacuate the country, leaving an agent at Cabul in exchange for the English captives. The army, it was thought, would not leave the place until they moved to Cabul, there to meet General Nott from Candahar. The Khyber Pass was being re-occupied by the Afreedes, and the whole road to Cabul stockaded and defended by all the obstructions the enemy could oppose. Captain Mackenzie has returned to Jellalabad on the 9th of May from Lughman, with terms for the release of the prisoners. General Sale's victory over Akbar Khan bad struck such terror into the minds of the people, that it was thought our troops might have moved on to the capital without resistance, had not the force been deficient in every requisite for so large an army. A letter from Saugor of the 26th of May announces the Boondelahs to have fled into the territory of Scindia. Q UETTA II . Every thing remains i; WaltiuO. Half the Candahar force had moved out to reinforce Kelat i Ghilzie, and make a demonstration on Ghuznie. General England crossed the Kojnck Kothul on the 2d of May, with the loss of only four men wounded. Instructions had been given on the 14th of May from the Adjutant-General's office to withdraw the troops serving west of the Indus within the British provinces. Since the above was in type we received, at seven o'clock, through the watchful vigilance and kind attention of Messrs. Willmer and Smith and Mr. Pearson, copies of the Times, Herald, Post and Chronicle, containing the fullest details of the intelligence. It bears out in every respect the above summary. The conflict with the Chinese took place to the west of Tsee-kee, where the enemy was found posted in ra ther a strong position. The walls were soon scaled, without any opposition, but considerable resistance was made at the camp. This resistance was strengthened by the nature of the ground over which the British troops had to proceed to the attack, and three men were killed and about 40 wounded. The Chinese were, however, soon routed and several hun dred killed. Having burned the enemy's camp and several mandarin and other officials' houses, the British proceeded on the following day to another encampment five miles di s tent, which they found deserted. On the 17th the force re turned to Ningpo and Chinhae. The Chinese subsequently rallied, and it was rumoured that the Mandarins at the head of 30,000 men had contem plated an attack on Ningpo. There was a variety of conflicting rumours circulated at Hong Kong and Macao. Some represented the Mandarins at Canton as determined to oppose to the last the attempts of the foreigners to obtain a footing in their country, for which purpose they had even contrived to build a steamer, had strongly fortified the banks of their river, and had also commenced clearing away the ruins of the Bogue forts, as a preparation for rebuilding them, while they had put into practice the most stringent measures for suppressing piracy in the Canton river, having in one day captured 100 offenders, of whom 44 were at once decapitated in Canton. Another rumour stated that the Mandarins in other provinces were much alarmed lest the war should extend to their districts, and had therefore induced the Celestial Government to send an Imperial Commissioner with an offer of 40,000,000 dollars as compensation for the expenses of the British expedition and the surrendered opium, all which, together with full possession of Hong Kong, the Emperor was said to be disposed to grant as the price of peace. Another rumour states that the French travelling diplomatist, Colonel Jansigny, was busy in his vocation, and that he had offered to one of the Imperial Commissioners some important counsel as to the utility of soon coming to proper terms with the English. The interference of this peripatetic functionary in a discussion where his presence was not de sired appears to be treated by even the Chinese, with marked neglect. From Affghanistan the intelligence is rather satisfactory. There appears, however, to have been little done in the shape of active measures since the arrival of General Pollock at Jellalabad. The fate of the prisoners continued to be an object of the most painful interest ; it was asserted that Colonel Palmer, with several other officers, remained in custody at Ghuznee. The Governor-General was at Allababad, where had, as stated, the intention of assembling an army of observation. Eight new regiments were to be raised. His lordship is to come in September to Agra. In a postscript our correspondent refers to a statement l iubl;ehcd by the Agra Ukhba, of the 9th of Juno. from which it appears that Akhbar Khan had failed in his attempt to gain possession of the Bala Hissar, where Futteh Jung maintained himself and his treasure. His next attempt was to raise the fanaticism pf the people to a crusade against the infidels, in which he also failed, for the money spent in Cabul seems to have given a relish to many for the presence of the foreigners. The news given in that paper from the camp at Jelalabad, to the 26th of May, asserts that the Commander-in-Chief at Simla bad sent orders to General Pollock to retire upon Peshawur, which orders he declined to obey, as not being in accordance with those direct from the government. General Pollock had, therefore, publicly ordered that ground should be taken up for the army on the following Friday at Char-Bagh, six miles to the westward of Jellalabad. The great complaint appears to be the want of camels and other animals for effecting the transport of the materiel. There is no doubt of that order having been is sued, but the question remained undecided if it would be persisted in. The Delhi Gazelle, of the Bth of June, which contains the same intelligence, asserts that General Pollock had received positive orders to retire in the direction of Peshawur, and that he had even made preparations for removing the heavy baggage by rafts down the river, and that the advance to wards Cabul was but a ruse to keep the army in good spirits. From all these circumstances, it would appear that there were negociations on foot which might lead to their with drawal. _ . From Candahar there is news of a victory gained on the 21st of May over the Affghans under the command of Sufter Jung. They attacked the fortified post of Khelat-e-Ghilzee, and even placed scaling ladders against the walls, bnt were repulsed and routed, with upwards of 100 men killed, besides the prisoners, who, having attempted to escape, were cut up by the garrison. In India tranquility prevailed. The monsoon had begun, and the ;people of the country were busy in agricultural pursuits. The only remarkable event was the death of the King of Oude ; by the good arrangements of the British re sident, the rightful heir succeeded to the throne without any trouble or confusion. Two young gentleman of the ages of 21 and 23, were drowned at Rye, whilst bathing, on Wednesday week. THE WEATHER.-All the papers. east, west, north, and south, concur in representing the weather as most propitious, and the crops as most abundant. On Wednesday last, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, two houses were destroyed, and two other materially injured by fire. APPALLING SUICIMI.—Last week, a woman named Ann Kienan, living near Newry, put an end to her existence by cutting open her stomach and one of her intestines. The poor creature was insane at the time, and lingered several hours. REPEAL IN AMERICA.-Mr. John Tyler, the president of the United States, has written a letter to the " Philadel• phis Repeal Association," in which he makes a present o : " his good wishes in all that relates to Ireland. - - - The Ross-shire Advertiser states that immediately after the prorogation of parliament, Sir Robert Peel will pay a visit to Col. Baillee, M.P., at his seat at Redcastle, in thrt county. TREATY WITH PORTUGAL.—OR Tuesday a meeting of the wine merchants of Bristol was held in that city, when a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, praying for a return of a portion of the duties on bottled wines in stock, so as to place them on an equality with those imported or taken out of bond under the amended duty fixed by the treaty with Portugal, was agreed upon. The Duchess of Orleans' dowry is fixed by law at 300,000 francs a-year. The Duke of Orleans, previous to his mar riage, had a million of francs (£40, 000 ) a-year. This was doubled on his marriage. According to the Gazette de France, it is now intended to leave £BO,OOO a-year to the Duchess for the education of her children. Last night's Gazette notifies that the Queen havin g p a - - pointed Thomas Spring Baron Monte a g l e , of Brandon, t o the office of Comptroller-General of th e Exchequer, and three of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury having appointed Arthur Eden, Esq., to the office of Assistant= Comptroller, each of them has full authority to sign Ex chequer bills in their own names respectively. SAMUEL GRAY.—This person who was given in charge for feloniously firing at Cunningham with a loaded pistol, with intent to kill and murder him, on the 26th November, 1840, has been discharged at the Monaghan assizes, under heavy recognisauces, the jury having disagreed. The editor of the Gazette de France was on Friday prose cuted for alleged seditious libels which appeared in that paper on the 19th and 20th ult., in articles referring to the contemplated Regency, and sentenced by default to two years' imprisonment and a fine of 24,000 f. It is understood that the commercial treaty between this country and Portugal is now finally arranged, and upon terms tac u tu i highly advantageous to each.

CHESTER APSIgER, CROWN COURT.—WmgEgnAt. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) CHILD MURDER. Elizabeth Barrett, who was described in the calendar a. a servant, aged 23, but who had lately been a pauper in the Stockport Workhouse, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, Ellen Barrett, at Cheadle Buckley, in this county (Cheshire). The Attorney-General (Hill) and Mr. Trafford appeared for the prosecution ; and, at the request of his lordship, Mr. Townsend undertook the defence of the prisoner. The facts of the case, which occupied the attention of the court a considerable portion of the day in the investigation, were briefly these :—On the 2nd of April last a person named Ann Stokes discovered the body of the child in a midden at Cheadle, covered with water, except one hand. A police officer and a surgeon were immediately sent for, and the body was extricated. The child was about eight months old. Mr. B. Lupton, a surgeon, who examined the body, deposed to the child having a healthy appearance, that there were no marks of internal disease, and his opinion was that it had died from strangulation, in consequence of a ligature having been tied round its neck, which, by pressure on the wind pipe, had prevented air from passing into the lungs. He was also of opinion that the body had not bee❑ put into the water until after death, and that it had not been in the water more than two days.—A pauper from Stockport Workhouse iden tified the body as the child of the prisoner. In cross-exa mination, she stated that the prisoner had always behaved kindly and affectionately towards the child.—lt was next proved by two witnesses, that the prisoner was in the tap room of the Farmers' Arms, at Cheadle, on the afternoon of the Ist of April, with the child ; that she appeared to be in want, and some bread and cheese and two glasses of ale were given to her by the witnesses. The prisoner said she had been in the Stockport Bastile. The prisoner then went to Moulton to a relation, with whom she stayed until she was taken into custody, and to whom she said the child was dead and buried. When told of the murder, she seemed in great, distress.—This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. TOWNSEND addressed the jury in a long and argu mentative speech for the prisoner. The learned JUDGE having summed up the case, The jury, after half-an-hour's consultation, pronounced the prisoner Guilty. The learned JUDGE having put on the black cap, after a brief address, sentenced her to death without holding out the least hope of mitigation. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, uttering the most pitiable exclamations. CIVIL SIDE.—TUESDAY. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) BROCKLEIIURST AND ANOTHER V. ALEXANDER AND ANOTHER.—(SPECIAL JURY.) Mr. WILLIANIS opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an action for libel brought by John and Thomas Brockle burst against Robert Alexander and Thomas Carter. The defendants had pleaded " not guilty." Mr. JERVIS appeared for the plaintiffs, whom he stated the jury might possibly know as extensive manufacturers of silk, in the borough of Macclesfield ; one of them (Mr. John Brocklehurst) being a member for that borough. The de fendants of whom they complained were one of them the proprietor and principal editor, and the other the publisher, of a newspaper called the Liverpool Mail. The plaintiffs complained of the following paragraph, which appeared in the Liverpool Mail of the 24th May last. It was headed " Cheshire and Wales—Birkenhead, 24th of May, 1842," and read as follows : " THE SILK TRADE AT MACCLESFIELD.—There are tricks played sometimes in the silk trade, it appears, as well as in the cotton, woollen, and corn trades. An extensive firm in Macclesfield, one of whose members represents in parliament the opinions of the liberal portion of the consti tuency, has lately, we understand, been complimented by a process from the Court of Exchequer, at the instance of go vernment, for the recovery of a sum of nearly two hundred thousand pounds, certain goods manufactured by them of cotton and silk having been exported as silk goods, and the drawback received thereon." He (Mr. Jervis) apprehended the jury would be of opinion that the Messrs.Brocklehursts were bound to come and seek the present public vindication of their characters. They came to defy the charge, and let the country know the author of it. They sought not for exaggerated damages in a case of the kind where the editor might have been innocently led into the charge, although he ought to have made inquiry beforehand. Mr. Jervis concluded by saying that, if the case proceeded, he was sure the Messrs. Brocklehursts would receive at the hands of the jury such an amount of damages as would satisfy them and the country that the charge was made without foundation. When Mr. Jervis had concluded his address, Mr. TEMPLE said he appeared for the defendants. He was concerned for the editor of the Liverpool Mail, who was not the author of the libel in question. He was free to admit that, iu point of law, it was a libel. He was also free to ad mit that, although the editor, who was said to have published it, knew nothing of its publication until after it had been cir culated, and, by letter from Mr. Brocklehurst's attorney it was called to his attention, he was nevertheless legally answerable ; but he was ready to express the sincere regret of the editor that such a libel, or such a statement, ever got into his paper, to assure Mr. Brocklehurst, and to assure the world, for the sake of his (the editor's) own character, that it was no introduction or invention upon his part, but that it had been written and inserted by an assistant editor, who heard and believed it. The defendants had come to court satisfied that the statement was wrong ; that it had been founded on absolute mistake and falsehood, and that there was not an atom of ground for it, though they had given cur rency to it ; and he (M r. Temple) was truly glad to know that Mr. Brocklehurst stood in that situation with regard to character that he could not be really harmed by the publica tion, and that, receiving the apology of the defendants, he would be satisfied to have a verdict for- Mr. JERVIS.—Forty shillings. Mr. TEMPLE said he had been in hopes that a nominal verdict would have satisfied the parties ; but that the defend ants were willing to submit to a verdict for 40s. A verdict was accordingly returned for the plaintiffs for 405., and his Lordship, at the request of Mr. Jervis, pro mised to certify that the case was a fit one for a special jury . - BROCILLERURST AND ANOTHER V. SMEDLEY. (S. J.) This also was a special jury case, in which Messrs. John and Thomas Brocklehurst were plaintiffs, and Mr. Joseph Smedley defendan , Tb.. declaration alleged the publication of a libel, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. JERVIS stated the case for the plaintiffs, who were the same as those in the previous action. This second action was brought for the malicious dissemination of the paragraph mentioned in that case. After noticing the respectability of the plaintiffs, the learned counsel proceeded as follows. On the 24th of May the Liverpool Mail arrived in Macclesfield, whereupon Mr: Smedley, the defendant, went about the town, inquired of various parties if they had heard the news, and, in spite of the dread which must have been created in the minds of those who had had transactions at the bank, took the trouble to copy the paragraph in manuscript, to take it round the town and to read it to the various parties. Not satisfied with: directing public attention to the paper— not content to let his poison in this way slowly and surely effect his object, but having got the paragraph, although he (Mr. Jervis) was unable to prove that he was the author, he spread the report that the libel would be found in the paper, and, making it certain that all might see it, who might not be in a condition or in the habit of reading the newspapers, and who might be excluded from seeing any retractation, he went round with a manuscript copy to the various shops, and read it to them, as attacking the character of Mr. Brocklehurst. The matter was rife in the town. The report was circulated that the plaintiffs had suffered in the enor mous sum of £200,000, and this report spread rapidly through the town. The defendant expected the insolvency of Mr. Brocklehurst. A run immediately followed on the bank, which was after a short time checked by the known respectability and opulence of Mr. Brocklehurst. But the jury were well aware that much slighter occurrences than those had often affected the stability of firms to a vast ex tent ; and his lordship would recollect that the accidental circumstance of a party falling down opposite a bank in London—he meant Sir John Lubbock's—and a crowd hav ing collected around, had absolutely caused a run upon that bank. The effect in the present case was immediate, and that effect had been mainly produced by the anxious circu lation of the libel in question by Mr. Smedley, who could not have any possible object in circulating it except he wished to see that which he had originally concocted, widely spread among his friends, and wished to destroy the character of political opponents. So far as Mr. Smedley was concerned he had never made the slightest retractation. He had now been dared to prove the truth or falsehood of the charge, but he had shrunk from inquiry, and contented himself with the cowardly plea of " not guilty." After a few further obser vations, Mr. Jervis sat down. a Potts o w i o a p s k the e epe r fi , r s living wit called . n a e t ss macc les Hq Messrs. John and Thomas Brocklehurst carried on the thaStamheuewlfie a d n e that sed bu siness of silk manufacturers in that town. Mr. John Broc klehurst was one of the members of parliament for the bo rough of Macclesfield. Witness was in Mill-street, in Macclesfield, on Wednesday, the 25th of May last. The defendant, who was a master tailor, living in that town, came up, accosted, and asked him whether he had heard the news. Witness said, "No ; what news ?" He then began to state a portion of the paragraph already read, saying that the firm was under very great difficulty, in being fined in something like £200,000. Witness asked for what, and he replied, " for fraud on government." The Messrs. Brockle burst had a bank at Macclesfield, and witness felt alarm about the matter, although he did not bank with them. After they had been speaking together for a short time, the defendant said that witness must see and read the Liveepool Mail. They then parted. Witness was exceedingly anxious to know where the Liverpool Mail was, and he believed he never left his door until the defendant returned down the street, when he asked him the question. He said lie believed it would be found at Swinnerton's. Witness said he would not go there, and they parted. In the course of the evening defendant came to witness's shop, and said—" I have taken the paragraph out of the paper, and I will read it you." He did so. It was in writing. He pulled the paper out of his pocket to read it. Witness recollected what it was, although he bad never seen the newspaper until he had now come to Chester. He could tell the paragraph without looking at the newspaper. When the defendant bad come to the middle part of it, which alluded to the liberal party in Macclesfield, he commented upon it, and went away a few minutes after he had read the paragraph. He appeared pleased with it. Witness had no acquaintance with him before. They had met on this occasion promiscuoualy together. Other witnesses were called, who gave somewhat similar testimony as to the defendant going about from place to place with the paragraph in question, anxiously disseminating the information contained in it. Mr. TOWNSEND addressed the jury for the defendant, who, he said, as secretary to a newsroom in Macclesfield, merely told the news as was his duty. His LORDSHIP then charged the jury. He said, the libel was undoubtedly one of a most formidable description, and that it was an act of most culpable negligence in the publisher to insert it. It attacked the character of the plaintiffs, and was calculated most materially to affect it. The defendant appeared to have manifested a degree of activity not at all in accordance with innocency. It was no part of the business of a secretary to acquaint the public with the news of the day and to circulate slander. There were most honourable men on all sides in politics ; yet it was not fair warfare, but warring with poisoned arrows to assail a political opponent after the present manner. Beyond all doubt the defendant had been very active in the publication of the libel, and he appeared to have done so with the intention of injuring the parties. The jury , however, should not " punish" him. That was a s lip on the part of the counsel for the plaintiff ; plaintiffs for the injury , because the question of damages the but they would say what damages they ought to rend er to was entirely for them to decide. brief consultation , f oun d a verdict for the plaintiffs for 40s. The jury, after a CIVIL SIDE.—WEDNESEAY. AN ELECTION BILL—PARRY V. MAINWARING, a t . SPECIAL JURY. 111 this case Messrs. Jarvis and Welsby were counsel for the plaintiff, and Messrs. V. Williams and It. G. Temple .or the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. William Parry, landlord of the Gredington Arms, at Holt, in the county of Denbigh, to recover from the defendant, Mr. Townsend Mainwaring, M. P. for the Denbighshire bo roughs, the sum of £122 for refreshments furnished by him to the voters and friends of Mr. Mainwaring during the last election contest. The defendant had paid £ 3O o n account, and the sum of £5O into court in discharge of the amount due,--and had also pleaded the statute against tipling, and that the demand was illegal, as it came under the denomina tion of treating the electors. Mr, jrtivt, tuliiros4lnt the inry far thg plaintiff PA he Mt !leantly ashamed for Mr. Malnwaring ltt conix quence of the defence he had set up. He could well under stand a candidate at once stating that he would neither bribe nor treat,—that he despised and set his face against such corrupt practices, but for his life he could not understand how the honourable member could set up the defence he had, when, beyond all doubt, he had ordered refreshments to be given to his friends ; that he had led off a ball with an old lady, which was given by him in honour of the victory he had obtained at the election, at which refreshments were furnished in considerable quantities to the guests ; for there was charged no less than forty-nine g l asses of brandy, at 4d per glass. The refreshments were ordered by the agents of the defendant, who had, after the election examined the bill, pronounced it correct, and had attached their signa tures to it. . _ Several witnesses were called, who proved that they bad been engaged by Mr. Mainwaring to manage his election — that they had his authority to order refreshments for the electors and their friends, and had done so at the plaintiff's house. One of them, a Mr. John Harrison ' said he had worked like a slave for Mr. Mainwaring, and had got no thanks for it. In cross-examination, he was asked whether a person had not been drunk at the Gredington Arms every night for 9or 10 days previous to the election. The witness said he had seen him drunk once only. Mr. JEavts.—Did he vote for Mr. Mainwaring Witness.—No ; they stole him away. (Laughter.) Mr. JERVIS.—Who Witness.—Why, your party—the Whig party, to be sure. (Loud laughter, in which the hon. M.P. for Chester joined.) Mr. V. WILLIAms addressed the jury on behalf of the de fendant. He observed that in spite of the hard words of his learned friend (Mr. Jervis) he hoped to be able to satisfy the jury that the defendant was perfectly justified in defending the action, and in adopting the line of defence he had the hon. gentleman did not descend from that high position which he held as a gentleman and a man of honour. Mr. Mainwaring had never refused to pay what was right. He had in fact paid already £7O towards the bill, which more than satisfied what was really due, but, contrary to his wish, the house had been kept open for ten days previous to the election, and this he contended the defendant was not liable to. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up the case, observed that the questions for the conside ra ti on o f t h e j ury were what orders bad been given by the defendant, and what li- quor had been served in consequence of these orders. On the latter point there was no evidence at all, and the bill cer tainly appeared a heavy one, for only about 50 voters were in the borough, and on one day . 111 glasses of gin were charged, on another 360, and another no less than 740. They, however, were to say what damages the plaintiff was entitled to above the £7O which bad been paid. The jury found for the plaintiff—damages, £llO. THE PROSPECTS OF THE DRAMA IN AMERICA In the American journals exchanging with the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, we have often observed very flaming accounts of the reception of the members of the theatrical profession " hailing " from this country during their progress through the States. We have seen statements of " crowded houses" and " thousands of dollars " honouring and rewarding their efforts; and these have struck us as being surprising, consi dering how depreciated everything connected with commerce is, and how great is now the scarcity of money. We have been led to make some inquiries amongst those who are con versant with the real state of things across the water, and we shall leave our readers to judge whether there exists much encouragement at present to any one to undertake a voyage across the Atlantic in the hope of realising a hand some profit by a twelvemonth's tour. That some members of the profession have won not only golden opinions, but silver dollars, we admit ; but we suspect it will be some years before any adventurers will again " garner in good store." The New York Herald has puffed and bepraised Fanny Elssler to a ridiculous extent ; and the statements made by that journal—its eulogia, and its " curious statis tics" of the number of times she has danced, and " made speeches in various languages"—cannot but appear to us sober-minded Englishmen as bordering upon absurdity, or savouring of being well-paid puffery. We are told in the publication of the Herald which appeared previous to the departure of the steamer, that she has "danced in the United States and Havana 199 times-21 of them gratuitously, for the benefit of various institutions and individuals. She has realised near 140,000 dollars, of which she has expended near 40,000 dollars, and given away to individuals and societies in the United States alone above 5,000 dollars. She has lost from the defalcation of managers but the trifling sum of 3,000 dollars, which gives loud contradiction to the infamous aspersions afloat in Europe upon American managerial ho nesty. She has made fifty-two of her pithy harangues in four different languages—English, French, Spanish, and German—twenty-two of them in New York alone." The portions of the article from which this extract is taken, revel in the highest-flown compliments imaginable ; in fact, the writer, unless he is well paid for saying what he does, must be in a similar case to the foolish old philosopher, who, at threescore-and-ten, sickened and died of love for the " di vine danseuse." That Madlle. Fanny Elssler has re alised a tolerable sum, is very likely—that she has given away money with a liberal hand, no doubt ; but there is such a thing as " giving a sprat to catch a herring." In all her proceedings there has been a great deal of coup de theatre. Simpson, we believe, lost money at the Park by her engage ment : she was to have had 500 dollars per night—she did not frequently bring so much in to the house, while on the " off nights" the theatre was completely deserted. That she has been beyond any other artiste of late, successful, there is no doubt ; but it is only a comparative success. The Park is now closed : it has not been paying its nightly ex penses for some time, although the company were on half salaries. Forrest, the most popular tragedian of the day in the States, has been playing at the Chatham Theatre, which, in the scale of rank and respectability, is somewhat equiva lent to the Sans Pareil. The prices are very low. This theatre is doing well. This fact speaks loudly as to the state of the drama in America. Mr. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam will come back with very little more money than they took out with them. At her farewell benefit at the Park Theatre, previous to their appearing in Halifax, whence they return to England, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, in her address, said—" I am happy to thank you for not only past, but present kindness ; and though my engagement now will individually be not very lucrative, still I have the gratification of knowing, before I receive any emolument, that the nightly expensEsjire re pai: a rarity nowadayx. it ;.= eartr. t . h.P e i s still drawatie taste and pride enough in this city to suppor t the Park Theatre. I should be sorry on my return home to be asked, and say it was not near its old and proper position, not only of being the most successful, but most legitimate theatre in the Union. It ought to be ; for my experience tells me you are in possession of not only respectable, but the first-rate native talent, and a most worthy, indefatigable, and, amidst all his trials and reve r ses, a ver y philosophical manager. lam proud, though neither loaded with dollars nor showered with bouquets, to have had an opportunity of playing my farewell night on the boards of this theatre, where I first achieved my great success in this country, and a success which secured it to me all over the United States." The rueful note of the words we have italicised is wo r thy o f remark ; and these desponding expressions are used in the face of asserted " crowded houses, througho u t the progress of this couple in America. Hamblin, Brow n e, Abb o t, an d Mrs. Shaw, have been starring it at the Bowery. This theatre did not pay expenses, and was expected to close. The New York Morning Herald states, they are , w ith Wil liams and Placide, all now doing nothing; but some of them are engaged at the Park at the reopening. Mitchell's Olympic has been the only paying concern; the prices are low, being only a quarter-dollar to the boxe s , an d equ i va l en t to our sixpence to the pit; this theatre is now closed. In Philadelphia, the Chesnut Theatre is closed, and to be let. It was opened sometime ago at reduced prices, but the " move" was not successful ; the price to the boxes was lowered to half a dollar. The stage-manager of the Chesnut, Mr. Ritchings, after twelve years' residence in America, has stated his intention to come to England, believing that he is only wasting his time in America. He is a light comedy actor, and very clever.—At Baltimore and Washington, both the theatres are closed ; in fact, look were we will throughout the States, the drama will be found at a discount. There is no hope whatever of its reaction for four or five years at the least.—At the Charleston Theatre, Mr. and Mrs. Seguin have been singing, with Manvers ; the receipts occasionally being five dollars.—The Tremont, in Boston, is closed, and to be let.—The Rochester Theatre is closed; as, also, is that in Providence.—There is a great deal of talk that Miss Cushman, a clever " actress of all work,' is about to build a theatre ; but the undertaking is n o t p ro b a bl e .—A new theatre was proposed to be built by Hamblin, by subscription, such as would be worthy of the representations he intended to give ; but, as the subscriptions were not forthcoming, the trouble was saved him.—Brahain and his son are stated to be drawing " crowded houses'' everywhere; but a large dis count must be taken off.—Jim Crow Rice is at Montreal. Forrest is now at Cincinnati and Louisville. To show the tricks sometimes played in the States, one anecdote respecting an actor w h o i s well known on' the English boards, will amuse. After a bad season, Mr. 8., who was the manager, announced a b ene fi t, the proceeds of which, it was understood, were to pay up the actors' salaries. It was made public that a certain description of dollar rail way notes, then at half the value, would be taken at full price; this being tantamount to admitting the audience at half price to all parts of the house. The theatre was filled. The manager, at the close of the performance, offered his railway notes as payment to his company. They were refused unless paid at their actual value, and not at their nominal. That night the manager bolted, and the next thing heard of him was, availing himself of the bankrupt law ; thus proving that half a loaf is better than no bread. With all these theatres closed, the most unpromising accounts of trade from all parts of the States, we can only offer our advice to English performers to stay at home, and be satisfied with whatever offers. Indeed, we could bring forward abundant proof to add to what we have stated, if we con sidered it necessary. NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. — The writ was proclaimed on Sunday at a quarter past one o'clock (a rather unusual cir cumstance for a Sunday) in the market place, and the nom ination declared for Thursday at ten o'clock, the polling on Friday. The election will thus be over in five days, and the town saved from much extra-excitement. PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.- -- A most extraordinary horse (perhaps the smallest in the world) arrived at the Royal Mews at Windsor, on Monday afternoon, by the Great Western Railway, from town, as a present to her Majesty, from Java (in which island it was foaled), of the diminutive size of only 271 inches in height—indeed, not near as tall as many of the Newfoundland and other dogs belonging to her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. This ex traordinary little animal, which is rising five years old, is of a dark brown colour, well-formed, and extremely quiet and playful. CORRECT NOTION OF " THE BEALTIFUL.

And if the bustle i does make the sign of labour glisten on her brow, where s the man that would not kiss that off, rather than lick the plaster from the cheek of a duchess ?—Hr. Cobbett. THE WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY. —A bazaar has for the last few days been held at the Centenary-hall, Bishops gate-street, London, for the benefit of the Wesleyan Mis sionary Society. The walls of one of the. rooms is cove re d with rare skins and furs, and sundry curious articles, sen t over for the purpose by the missionaries in connexion with the Wesleyan community in every t q uarter or the globe. Se. veral costly presents from the King f Ashantee, and various curiosities from the Celestial Empire, and elegan manufactured at the mission stations in France, adorn the counters of the fair show-women. MURDER. —At the Flintshire: Assizes, on Friday last, Hannah Rob er t s was i n di c t e d for the murder of her husband, Robert R o b erts , at C aerwys , in June, by poison. The de ceased was an old man seventy-five years of age, living at Caerwys, and in the possession of some little property. I n May last he was induced, by some means or other, to marry the prisoner, who was only nineteen. The deceased had made his will, and left the prisoner what Wle he po ssessed ; but in consequence o f some irregularities which he had ob. served in her conduct, he threatened to alter it. This was the motive alleged by the prosecution for the commission of the offence. Soon after, the deceased was taken ill, and eventually died. The purchase of the arsenic by the prisoner and her declaration that she had administered it to her hus band were proved, It was argued, in reply, that there was not suffici en t t o s h ow th a t th e prisoner knew the fatal quali ties of the drug, and that there was no proof that poison w as the cause of death. The jury, however, found her guilty, and B aron G urney passed sentence of death ; but as a j ury of matrons subsequently discovered that she was Pr egnant he execution w a s o f course deferred until after her deli very ' t SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, 7hree o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY . (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) The rate of duty has advanced upon Foreign Rye to Os Gd, and upon Colonial to is per qr., which are the only al terations we have to notice for the ensuing week. We have again a large arrival of Wheat, the import from abroad within the past three days exceeding 19,000 qrs., chiefly from and through the Mediterranean ; the supply of States and Canadian Flour is also to a liberal amount, and the whole, as well as our present stock of bonded 'Wheat and Flour, may now be considered virtually on the free mar ket, there being every prospect of an early advance of duty ; the fresh supplies coastwise and from Ireland are generally, as of late, very limited. The trade between Tuesday last and to-day assumed rather more firmness, and a few transactions took place in the leading articles on nearly the terms last noted. Yesterday there was an indication of unsettled weather, by which some stimulus was excited ; more, however, in the minds of holders than of buyers, there being upon the whole little apparent relief from the state of apathy previously existing. Several millers from distant parts of the country, at this day's market, seemed to impart rather more stability to the trade for Wheat, in which a fair extent of business was transacted, and there appeared a somewhat less eager desire to force sales than in the early part of the week ; most hold ers notwithstanding, evinced a ready disposition to meet the demand, and while some parcels of good quality realized our last quotations, a decline of Id. to 2d. per 701bs was more generally conceded. Upon a moderate sale for States and Canadian Flour, each may be considered rather cheaper; home made and Irish remaining nominally unvaried. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, being nearly without in quiry, were severally, in some degree, depressed in value. A few parcels of fine heavy Dutch Oats, just arrived, ap peared to meet a rather free sale to-day at 3s ld to 3s 3d per 45 lbs. ; but in other kinds, scarcely any business was done and Oatmeal, being very little noticed, hardly maintained our last currency. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 2nd to the ath August, 1842, inclusive. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. AuGusT_2. In addition to the very large import of foreign Wheat, stated in our circular of this day week, we have to note a further good supply since, principally from the North and South of Europe, with upwards of 3,000 qrs. of Pease from Canada, and 14,731 barls. of Flour thence and the United States ; but of other articles from abroad, or coastwise and from Ireland, the arrivals are still inconsiderable. The continuance of brilliant weather, the near approach of harvest, already partially commenced in early districts, and the decline in London yesterday, had given a decided check to all extensive operations here, both free and in bond, and have caused the holders of all free Wheat this morning, to submit to an abatement of Gd. to 9d. per 70 lbs. from the rates of Thursday last ; in consequence of which, country millers were induced to purchase to a moderately fair extent, whilst our local buyers remained extrem-ly inactive. Flour, baying moved off slowly to-day, receded in value 2s. per sack and Is. 6d. per barrel below the terms of last week. Barley, Beans, and Pease were difficult of sale, at a reduc tion of 2s. each ; and Malt was Is. per qr. cheaper. Oats upon a very limited inquiry, were nominally Id. to 2d. per 451bs. cheaper; and Oatmeal, meeting little notice, de clined Is. 6d., reducing our quotations for the best marks of Irish to 255. per 240 lbs. The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat meal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st July, 1842 : In Bond.—Wheat. 349,985 qrs. ; Barley, 11,371 qrs. ; Oats, 11,640 qrs. ; Rye, 407 quarters; Beans, 31,687 qrs. ; Pease, 15,660 qrs. ; Flour, 99,358 brls.

Price per quarter, Wheat, qrs. 3 Oats. „ SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 3 There was a better show of Beasts to-day, but as customers were rather fewer than usual the market was heavy, and prices rather lower. Sheep and Lambs in fair supply, and prices for both without change. Beef lid to 64d, Mutton 6d to tiid, Lamb 5i 1 per lb. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, AUGUST 3. During the present week the Wheat trade has been completely at a stand. We are not aware that any transactions have taken place, consequently no quotations can be given, nor variation in price. Beans and Barley dull at former rates. In Oats a few re tail sales have been made, at a reduction of 6d per quarter. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 1. The supplies of Cattle .this morning were mostly fresh up from the country, and generally in good condition. The number of horned Cattle consisted of nearly 2,500 head, and nearly 28.000 Sheep and Lambs : of Calves and Pigs about an average number. There was a good attendance of butchers, with a more active de mand. Trade was generally better than on the last two or three markets, prices being in most cases higher, and total clearances effected. Beef on an average realized 3s 4tl to 4s Bd, according to quality, which are about the rates of last Monday. Mutton sold readily at about 4s 4d for coarse descriptions to 4s 8d for prime old South Down. Superior choice Lamb fetched Os 6d, and inferior 4s Bd. Veal was much the same as on Friday last. Coarse Pork did not realize more than about 3s 10d, and Young Porkers about 4s Bd. (Per stone of 81b, sinking the offal.) LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 1. There was a fair supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk this morning, and the merchants not being buyers, the trade was confined to the demand from the millers, who purchased very re luctantly even at a decline of as to Gds per qr. from Monday last, at which the stands could not be cleared, Foreign Wheat was also much depressed, and to effect sales a considerable reduction must be submitted to ; we only saw one parcel of new Wheat at market, which sold at 695. Bonded is quite unsaleable. Barley, Peas, and Beans remain as on this day se'nnight, and sales of Oats were very limited at reduced rates. Rape seed .41 per last cheaper WEDNESDAY, August 3. The business has been extremely dull this morning, with a large show of samples of foreign Wheat, but a thin attendance, and only a nominal trade at the quotations of last market day. The duty on foreign Wheat is expected to advance to-morrow, which causes the holders of the free article to be firm in price, but on the other hand the brilliant weather prevents all speculative trade. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 2. The activity which prevailed throughout our market yes terday has been felt again to-day, and a large business has been done, as near as can at present be estimated 6000 bales, the bulk of it to the trade, but, a few speculators have been operating, and have not yet finished their purchases ; prices steady and rather tightening. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 4. The demand goes on swimingly, and our market has a very buoyant and animated appearance. Yesterday from 8.000 to 10,000 bales were sold, to-day from 7000 to 8000 —the great bulk to the trade, and the advance of id 14 , it, on all Cotton below fivepence is fully established. The better descriptions are also dearer, and Surats and Brazils have also partaken of the improvement. This looks well, and the permanency of this tone will restore to us our usual prosperity, LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY.
