On the motion that the trial of the Earl of Cardigan be printed, Lord ELDON drew the attention of their lordships to an expression of satisfaction in the address of the Attor ney-General at the absence of " moral delinquency" in the case. He was ready to make all allowance for the feelings of individuals, but as the house had expressed no opinion on the subject, and as the trial had gone off on a question wholly irrelevant, he wished the subject to be notices, lest it should be thought that their lordships concurred in the sentiments to which he referred. The Bishop of LONDON thought that there had not been in the matter before their lordships any thing which called for the expression of such an opinion on the part of the At torney- General. He trusted that the recent unfortunate oc- currence, together with other and late cases, would induce the legislature to adopt some course for the abolition of a practice which was a shame and a scandal to the age, and which, originating in the time of barbarism, was utterly in consistent with the manners and customs of the present day. Lord MOUNTCASHEL, after noticing a duel which had taken place only on the previous day, remarked on the im perfection of the- law, which, according to - the customs of society, compelled persons in a respectable station to resort to the duel as the only redress for many injuries of which the law took no cognizance, or at best afforded very inadequate reparation. He would ask if her Majesty's government in tended to introduce any measure for the more effectual pre vention of duelling ? Lord MELBOURNE replied in the negative, and thought that the law, as it already stood, was not deficient in force. Lord GLENELG moved for certain papers addressed to the assistant poor law commissioners of Ireland, respecting the valuations of unions, and desiring them to give every infor mation which would assist in comparing the number of rate payers with those entitled to the parliamentary franchise. Lord NORMANBY made no objection to the production of the correspondence, and after some conversation, their lord ships adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY. Col. CLZMENTS took his seat for Cavan. Several petitions were presented against the poor law bill. Sir F. POLLOCK presented a petition from the Royal Col lege of Physicians, London, signed by Sir H. Halford, the president, and by Dr. J. Bright, Dr. B. G. Babington, Dr. G. Burrows, and Dr. R. B. Todd, censors, against the bill for the alteration of the laws relative to the medical profession in Great Britain. The petitioners stated that they have been for some time engaged, in concert with the other medical corporations, in the preparation of a proposed Treasure of re form in their own body, which would shortly be submitted to the legislature. In a - conversation as to the day for discussing the medical profession bill, Mr. HAWES said it was his intention to strike out all that part of the bill relatingto chymists and druggists. Mr. WAiLEY said, as that part of the wa out, he entreated that his hon. friend would si other portion of the bill also. is to be struck trike out the proprietors Ultimately Mr. HAWES said he would withdraw his bill, and ask leave to bring in an amended measure. Mr. AINSWORTH gave notice, that in committee on the poor law amendment bill he should move a clause exempting the Bolton union from the operation of the bill. Mr. EWART gave notice for the 4th March, of a bill to appoint a public prosecutor. On the motion for the second reading of the English Re gistration Bill, Sir EDWARD Suoncx advanced several ob jections tothat measure. , In lieu of the would present revising bar risters, it constitute 15 judges, who would have no other professional business, and who would therefore soon lose their legal aptitude. He knew of no complaint against the present revising barristers, except the youth of some of them. He objected to a nomination by the Speaker of the 15 original judges, and still more, of the judges of appeal. Such nominatians, however uprightly made, wood always be suspected of political partiality. Speaker Lenthall had told Charles I. that the Speaker was the servant of the house ; but this measure would make him their master. He censured also the proposal for constituting two classes of voters—the questionable class, and the established. It would establish the rich, and leave the poor questionable ; and it would open the way to much collusion in getting voters into the esta blished class. As to thp business to be done by the proposed Court of Appeal, he believed there would not be enough to occupy ten days, perhaps not seven, in each year. So much for what this bill contained : a few words more for what it omitted. It omitted the necessity for payment of taxes, and it omitted all attempt at that which the bill of a former year bad proposed—a definition of the franchise. How was it that this definition. which Government said was indispensa ble to a registration bill for Ireland, had been wholly omitted in this Registration Bill for England ? He would not resist the second reading, but would reserve his further opposition for the committee, their et T. GISBORNE, in in 1842 of inconsistent decisions ti one side of a passage admitting the votes which judge on the other side of the passage was rejecting. might be objections to some of the details of the presen measure, but it would, on the whole, be a beneficial one. Mr. WARBURTON considered it to have been a point ad witted so long since as 1838, that the institution of revisir barristers was a bad one. He saw no fore_ that the proposed judges would be confined to this on, branch of business. The Commissioners of Bankrupts hr but one class of law to administer, yet no failure was all , in their department. He:would not enter into de, would be more conveniently discussed in committee. Mr. HUME said there was a simple way of terminating al difficulties—by giving in this bill, as in the Irish bill, a defi• nition of the franchise. He did not see wby the two coup• tries should be differently dealt with in this particular. (Thi: homely remark, coming from such a quarter, was mud cheered.) _ There in the objectio ails, whit; holders Colonel S inTxoßP wished to know what salaries would b proposed? - Lord JOHN RUSSELL answered that this would he states in the cummittee. At present he would say only, that then would be a saving on the whole of £15,000 or £16,000 a-year He had omitted the taxes, which he thought it inconvenien to insist upon in the franchise' but he had continued to quire the rates, which he thought a sufficient -- to the definition of the franchise, thv• separate bill. The case was not tration, for there almost all the difix from the state of the county franchise afeguard „,ht be don( ke that of the Irish Les of re Geutlem had been very emphatic in cheering Mr. Hume's pr0p0..., for uniformity between England and Ireland : did they wish to abolish the franchise of the 40s. freeholders in England, or to bestow that 40s. franchise upon Ireland ? The bill w On the order of the day for the committee of supply, Lord PALU ER SToN, in answer to a question from Sir R. PEEL respecting the boundary question , stated that commissioners for obtaining local information had been sent out respectively by England and by the Un ited States, but without concert. It was intended that a joint commission should be constitut ed, but the details were still under discussion. Sir R. PEEL asked whether the American government had actually agreed that there should be a joint commission? Lord PALMERSTOIV said that both governments had agreed to that principle, with a proviso for an arbitration in case of difference. In answer to Mr. II Awrs, Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was utended to introduce into the other house a measure for t reform of the ecclesiastical courts, and particularly as re garded 1 . 7 xs eo h_ur_eh,rates.

In that litigation the company was successful, and, in addition to our liberation from the meshes of the law, the advantages attain able by the improved state of the money market, and the clearing away of the clouds that hung over the affairs of the company, now offer a hope that; for the future, we shall have nose now in I much greater ease in collecting resources, and ma ki ng zreater progress in carrying on the works than hitherto.

Since our last meeting the directory have turned their serious attention to the ques tion of the prcbable traffic. They were not satisfied with the original estimate on which the application to parliament was founded, but employed some gentlemen conversant with that mode of business to make re-investigations of the pro bable traffic, and the result of their labours will be laid before you in the report—which report, I am happy to say, is highly satisfactory so far as we are able to give an opinion. The report will hold out a strong expectation (on these matters it should be recollected that we can never speak with certainty) of seven or eight miles of the line being opened in the autumn of the present year. It is exceedingly desirable that, circum stances permitting, it should be carried on with as little delay as possible ; for it we can only open seven or eight miles of the line, the undertaking, instead of being one only in pos silility, and futurity, will assume a se ttl e and established character. and the public wilt feel greater confidence in it. The probable profits arising from these seven or eight miles, which will constitute the whole line to Glossop, will, when laid before you, prove very satisfactory. lam anticipating the effect of this report, but I thought it my duty, on taking the chair, to state the circumstances under which we meet you. I do so, as the opinion of the direction is considefed worth having. If the proprietary support the direction, and place the necessary resources at their command to carry on the affairs of the company, there will be no ground for despondency, and the position of the company will soon be very different from what it as at present. The chairman having fixed the company's seal to the registry of their pro- ceedings, Mr. Charles Thomson, the secretary, read the report and statement of the accounts, for which see our advertising columns. Mr. JAMES BERNARD moved that the report of the resi dent engineer, certified by the engineer-in -chief, be printed and circulated. It was not for the meeting, who were not, engineers, to enter into the minutiw of the report, but they might safely rely on the known character of Mr. Locke, whom he (Mr. B.) was glad to see present; He hoped Mr. L. would persevere in the work with all due consideration of the expenses, and add another leaf to his well-earned reputation by completing the work at a moderate cost. lie (Mr. B.) was sure the work would satisfy the shareholders as fully, by the return of their capital, as any magnificent work of art, which, no doubt, was commendable and beau tiful to see, but which did not always yield the return expected. The resolution was seconded by yr. LEES, and agreed tc - - --- Mr. WADDINGTON believed it was pretty well known that the directors were extremely anxious to carry on the works, and that from time to time heavy calls were made on theta. They were purging the share-list and endeavouring to keep it pure from those parties who could render no assistance. In a short time they hoped to be able to re-issue forfeited shares to solvent shareholders. They would then have a healthy responsible body, able to answer the calls made on them, but the directors would not ma k e th ese ca ll s i f they could avoid doing so. But for the purpose of avoiding it he would propose to the meeting to give the directors power to borrow money when it was required ; that if their means were found to be insufficient for completing the railway, the directors might borrow the sum of £230,000, to be taken up at interest on the credit of the railway undertaking; and that the company's directors be authorised and empowered to mortgage and assign the property of the undertaking, rights, titles, '&c. arising, or to arise, by virtue of the act, with interest of the same, to such person or persons as shall advance the same. Mr. CHAPMAN seconded the motion, and it passed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the directors, Mr. WADDINGTON, at the request of the chairman, with great pleasure returned thanks on behalf of the directors. He felt confident they would endeavour to deserve the thanksof the by carrying out the objects of the company, in reference to the railway between Manchester and Sheffield, so as to return them a handsome dividend on their out lay. The chairman alluded to the state of the money mar ket as being unfavourable to the company's operations, but much more evil had resulted from evil reports, which had been most industriously circulated by parties carrying out railway speculations of their own. These parties had calum niated this railway undertaking, and represented it as imprac ticable, and not likely to yield a remuneration. The board of directors were carrying on the work with the utmost pos sible dispatch, and making as small a draw aspossible on the pockets of the shareholders. The undertaking was a valuable one, and if proper exertions were made to forward the work without unnecessary delay, it would be second to none in the kingdom. On the part of the board he thanked the propri etors for the renewed mark of their confidence afforded by confirming the grant of £1,600, and he was sure the directors would prove themselves worthy of the trust reposed in them. The meeting was then declared to be dissolved. The work is divided into five contracts. The Ardwick contract commences at the junction near Blind-lane, and ends at the Trail dogs, Messrs. Buxton and Clarke are the contractors. The Newton contract begins at the Trail dogs, and ends at Newton-green ; the contractors are Messrs. Sar gent and Denton. Mr. ThoThas Brassey is the contractor for that part of the line from Newton-green to Broadbottom —this is called the Hattersly contract. The Gamesley con tract is undertaken by Messrs. Miller and Blackey, who carry on the line to its terminus at Glossop, with the excep tion of a bridge over the Etherow, '74.e understand, is a separate contract.

With this loan the works will be completed considerably beyond Taunton, so that the share holders will be in the receipt of a good income, while the bondholders will be secure of their interest the moment the line reaches Bridgewater, not out of the capital but out of the annual rental secured by the lease to the Great Western Company, and leave a considerable surplus to the sharehold ers besides. If it be true, as we understand it is, that £1,500,000., with the loan of £500,000., will complete the line to Exeter, and the rent and toll will pay 6 per cent. on the total outlay, and 5 per cent. be paid for the loan, the shareholders will receive at the rate of 61 per cent. for their capital; making a good thing for those who have bought shares at a large discount.

It is stated, that the legal expenses of this transfer of property, arising from fines upon copyholds, and the enormous stamp duties, amounted to upwards 0 14:10,000. As the deed is stated to have been enrolled in due form, the same expences will now have to be again incurred to effect a re-transfer of the property from Viscount Curzon to his lordship. Should the statement of our informant regarding the stamp duties payable to govern ment be correct, they will not only most amply defray all the expellees incurred by the country in fitting up the House of Lords, &c., but leave a very handsome surplus.—Times.

On Saturday week, at the Mansion-house, London, Win. Forster, of the house of Forster and Smith, of New City chambers, appeared to complain against a druggist who had been employed by the ship's husband of the Nuuez to supply medicines to that vessel on her voyage to the coast of Africa six months ago. He stated that he had given due notice to the druggist to attend, but it did not appear that the defen dant meant to keep his word to appear upon his defence, although the charge was a very serious one. Alderman Pinie, who presided, stated that the case was one of very great public importance, and be should certainly hear the circumstances, whether the accused made his ap pearance or not. _ _ believe the expea :1 what it several times by the been ca] officer, and no answer hiving been returned, Mr. Forster proceeded to state the uartii —aving heard from the captain of the Nunez that considerable sick ness had taken place on board the vessel, which had been detained in the rainy season on the coast of Africa, he made the inquiries which might be reasonablysexpected. In the course of the conversation the captain said that his medicine chest appeared to have- been badly fitted up, and that the medicines were so adulterated as to be altogether useless. As the directions issued by the house in which he (Mr. F.) ith regard to every ship with which they ere that no expense should be spared in he gave orders that the medicine chest of the Nunez should be examined, and Mr. Battley, of Fore street, having examined it, the following letter was received from that gentleman's house:— was a partner, were connected, wt hest, the medicir " Cripplegate, Jan. 28, 1841. " Sir,—Mr. Battley desires me to say that he has exa mined the medicines you sent here yesterday, with the fol lowing result :—The calomel he finds to be the best of the medicines which the chest contains, but not perfectly i❑ a pure state. The Dovis powder, rhubarb, and jalap exceed ingly bad, so much so as to be obvious to a casual observer. With regard to the tinctures, they contain little or no spirit, and are evidently not made according to the direction which the College of Physicians lays down. The rest of the medi cines and preparations are for the most part very indifferent. Mr. Battley further desires me to say that Mr. Hanbury, of the firm of Messrs. Allen, Hanbury, and Co., of Plough court, has likewise inspected the medicines, and perfectly coincides with Mr. Battley in his opinion of them. I am, sir, for R. Battley, your obedient servant, __ " EDWARD JowETT." Upon finding that the medicines supplied for such a place as the coast of Africa were of such a description, he (Mr. Forster) determined, for the public safety, to institute an in quiry, particularly as Sir Henry Halford, the president of the College of Physicians, expressed a decided opinion that something ought to be done with the vendor of such vile me ; and, as the distribution of medicines in merchant , ships depended upon the captains, he had ascertained tb e practice of supplying bad medicines to vessels of tais kin was carried to a most serious extent, more especially at L verpool. Alderman Pirie said that the shipping interest was greatly indebted to Mr. Forster for having come forward upon this occasion. He wished to know whether the men Atad taken any of the medicines. captain James Paddon, of the Nunez, stated that the men had refused to take any of the medines, and he could not himself take any of it. He lost all his men on theloyage. Alderman Pirie : Would they have taken the medicines if they had been good?—Captain Paddon : No. They would not have taken anything except salts. They were most ob stinate. I tried to take some myself, but I could not. Out of eleven. all died except myself and three blacks: Mr. Henry Hennell, of Apothecaries'-hall, was then called. ed that he had examined the rhubarb and jalap, being. the medicines principally used on voyages of the kind, and neither of them possessed any one character of these drugs. It was impossible to say what the stuff called rhubarb was. Mr. D. B. Hanbury, of the house of Allen, Hanbury and Co., Plough-court, stated that the rhubarb and jalap describ ed had none of the properties of the real medicines. The other contents of the medicine-chest were very inferior, . and the proportion of spirit in the tinctures was, if any, extremely small. Alderman Pirie was anxious to know if there was any chec upon practices such as were thus exposed. A medical gentleman said that a Censure from the College of Physicians was the only check, and the visitation was very unfrequent Mr: Chandler, druggist, Fore-street : The census, or de putation from the College of Physicians, have visited me but once in eleven years. I know several shops in which they have never been to examine the medicines Hanbury looked at the bill of parcels, and said that at his counter the medicines would be sold at le same price, and be of the first quality. In furnishing medicine chests they would be at a lower rate. Alderman Pirie said that the matter disclosed at the jus tice-room was very properly brought forward, and he was convinced that what had taken place would render great ser vice to the public, used, as it would be, by the press. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. — Since this day week there has been rather a favourable change in our market, especially in the demand for both cloth and yarns, and though prices generally cannot be quoted higher than at that period, still some kinds of cloth are 1-id. a piece dearer, whilst all descriptions are saleable at prices not obtainable even on Saturday. Yarns are in much better demand, and in most numbers a slight advance may be obtained. LEEDS.—Though the stock of goods in the Piece Halls has increased both in bulk and assortment during the last ten days, the purchases by th e merc h an t s h ave b een v e r y limited, the sudden check given to the dealing of -the Ameri can houses by the recent intelligence from that continent not yet having been removed by the subsequent arrivals. In the warehouses chiefly connected with our domestic trade there is a good business doing in fabrics suitable for the spring and summer season. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. 16.—The change from severe to mild weather, had its effect on this market to-day, so that the choice in goods was greater, and buyers more nu merous, who purchased freely. The demand was principally in middle and low fancy woollens, and light waistcoatings and ladies' dresses. Prices are firm, and confidence gradually increases. Wools are slightly looking up. BRADFORD MARKET.—The transactions in the Piece Hall here, on Thursday, were on a more extensive scale than those of any market-day for the last three or four weeks, and prices were considered very firm, though no material im provement can be quoted. The yarn market was also brisker than of late, which caused the spinners to hold on for an advance, and on some sorts they succeeded to a small ex tent. The wool market did not, however, manifest the improvement.' The siles were rathei limited, and price s un- DEBTS OF NATIONS.

Has WIFE.—A young man named Thomas Potts, a calico printer, ,residing at MitchaM, and who has only been married about 18 months, left home on Tuesd'ay, and did not return until nine o'clock at night, and he immediately went into the room where his wife was sitting with her mother, and without say ing a word he pulled a 'pistol from his pocket, presented it at his wife, and fired it off, and the greater portion of its con tents passed through her cheek. A labouring man whO was passing came into the house and seized hold of Potts, and after a struggle forced him into a chair, and held him there until West, the Beadle of Mitcham, arrived and secured him. The prisoner then said, " I have done it-1 have done it— I have mnrdered my wife, and I hope I shall be hung." The constable asked him what he had done with the pistol, and be produced the one he had just discharged at his wife. West then searched him, and in one of his pockets he found ano ther pistol loaded to the muzzle, and in his coat pocket a razor, and be asked Potts what he was going to do with the razor, and he replied that he intended to have destroyed him self with it after he had killed his wife. Mr. Tipper, a medi cal gentleman of Mitcham, hid by this time arrived, and he ascertained that the woman hid received a very severe injury, and he administered to her the necessary assistance. The prisoner was on Thursday -brought before the magistrates, but as his wife was not in a epndition to give evidence, he was remanded for a week. , EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—A, trial for murder, attended with circumstances of extraordinary atrocity, has just taken place before the Court of Assizes at Brest. The frwts, as proved in evidence, are as follow .—A man named Castel, an armourer, resided at Brest with his wife, who appears to have behaved virtuously and properly up to the year 1826, at which time her husband embarked as master on board a ship of war. On his return, after the battle of Navarino, at which he was present, he found that his wife had been leading a dissolute life, and she was no longer worthy of his affection; but he forgave her, and hoped to find in her repentance some return of the happiness which he had formerly enjoyed. The wife, however, far from replying to the kindness of her hus band by good conduct, formed a connection with a married man, named Bescond, who resided in a village adjoining Brest, and by a long series of cruel treatment, in which she was aided by Bescond, drove her husband mad, and he was sent to a lunatic asylum. On his return home, cured of his malady, the brutality of the wife and her paramour, who, as an excuse for his frequent visits, had placed his daughter as a boarder in the house of Castel, was increased, and it was at length resolved, in the winter of 1839, to deprive the unfor tunate husband of life. For this purpose the wife pretended that some money had been left to her husband at Havre, and a passport was obtained for them to go to that place. They quitted home in the evening, in company with Bescond and his daughter, a girl of 21 yeareof age, and of Augustine Cas tel, the daughter of the married couple, aged 16. It was ar ranged with Castel that he an his wife should take leave of these three persons at the house of Bescond, whose wife was absent. When Castel arrived, there, some warm wine was given to him, into which Bescond, with the knowledge of the wife and Augustine Castel, had put a large dose of laudanum ; and when the poison had produced its effect, Castel, pro bably still living, was carried at night into a field belonging to Bescond, where the murderers, aided by the daughter of Bescond, who does not, however, appear to have been pre sent at the murder, dug a grave, into which they threw the body, and Bescond having cast over it two sacks of quick lime, in the hope of removing all trace of the deed, the grave was filled up. After the murder, Bescond and the guilty widow led a life of great dissipation, frequented the theatres and masked balls, and app`earetl totally insensible to remorse. To persons who inquired for Castel, they replied that he had embarked at Havre for the colonies. The murder came to light in the following way :—The wife of Bescond, having re monstrated with her husband and his mistress on their adulterous intercourse, it was resolved by them to murder her also. The plan laid by these wretches was ovsrheard by the daughter of Bescond, who ran to her mother and told her to be on hgr ' , nerd, or she would be served as C as t e l h a d b een , and then she related all the circumstances of the murder in the presence of a female friend of her mother. This female recommended that the crime should be denounced to the Procureur du Roi ; but to this neither the mother nor the • daughter would consent, as they wished to spare the life of the husband and father. The female in question, however, took an opportunity to send an anonymous letter to the Pro cureur du Roi, which led to the arrest of all th e p ar ti es , in cluding the girl Bescond, and to the discovery of the body, which was found entire, although in an advanced stage of decomposition, having been buried more than six months, In the grave was found a copy of the criminal code, which had belonged:to Bescond, and the leaves of which'vere turned down at the part relating to The proceedings in cases of mur der. Sixty witnesses were examined, and not the slightest doubt existed on the minds ti: the jury as to the guilt of all the parties, except the daughter of Bescond, who was ac quitted. Bescond and the widow Cdstel were sentenced to death, and the daughter, Augustine Castel, was condemned to impisonment in a house of correction for 10 years, at the expiration of which she is to be plactd for 10 years underthe surveillance of the police.

SHAMEFUL TREATMENT TO AN APPRENTICE.—At the Rochdale petty sessions, on Saturday last, Robert Brierley, a coal miner, was charged with having committed a shameful assault upon one of his apprentices, a boy named Kershaw, 12 years of age. The poor fellow has been so beaten that he could neither sit nor stand, he was laid on the ground before the bench—he had not less than 26 wounds upon his body. The master had frequently beaten him with a piece of wood which had a nail driven through. Brierley said the boy was very disobedient. The magistrates cancelled the indentures and fined the master in £5, which was ordered to be given to the boy. DEAriz FROM WitEsTLING.—At half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning last, a company of men met at the Bull's head public-house, Greenacres Moor, Oldham, when two of them, named Joseph Nicholls, and William Buckley, agreed to wrestle, and after several rounds it was discovered that Buckley was seriously injured, Mr. Dunkerley, surgeon, was sent for immediately, and said that a part of the spine of his back was broken. Buckley was quite sensible, and said the affair was quite accidental, he-lingered in great agony until eleven o'clock in the forenoon, when he expired. He was 3 3 years of age, has left a wife and four small children. Nicholls was taken into custody, and on Tuesday in inquest was held on the body of the deceased.

Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento. 100 bags black Pepper sold at 3,1 d to 4d per lb. Rice is scarce, and the sales are confined to a small lot good Bengal at 15s 6d per cwt. Rum.—The business con sists of 200 casks, chiefly fine Demerara, at the quotations. Tea.—There has been a fair inquiry for common and good Congous, and prices remain without alteration. A few chests Bengal Indigo were sold at 5s 6d, and 10 serous of Caraccas at 5s per lb in bond. A small sale of Shell Lac is re ported at 42s to 47s ; Tincal at 46s ; and Guin Arabic at 445. 600 bags Pearl Sagy and 60 tons Catch have been sold, but the price is not named. There is a better inquiry for good Saltpetre, and ex tensive sales have been made, and an advance of tid obtained ; the quantity sold is 4200 bags. principally at 24s 6d to 28s. 500 bags Nitrate of Soda have been taken at 915 3d to 21s 6d per cwt Dyewoods —There are no sales to notice this week in any des criptions. The demand for Turpentine is rather languid, and for 1100 brls. of middling quality 12s ad has been accepted. In Tar no sales. Montreal Pot Ashes are rather loiver, and there are sellers at 29s 6d. Pearls exceedingly dull. Hides.—The market continues very dull, and the only sales reported are 600 dry salted Pernambuco at 4jd, with 289 dry at 54d, and 3000 good dry salted East India Kips, at NV for sound, 7.0 for Ist rubbed, and 6d per lb for and rubbed. Tobacco has been in good demand, and the sales reach 400' hhds., of which about 80 were leaf for Ireland, 40 for exportation, and nearly 150 of different kinds ou speculation. All kinds are very firm, and in some cases a little higher. The business done in Brimstone has again been on a limited scale, without change in prices. Nothing worthy of Notice has been done in Sumac, Argols or Cream of Tartar. Of Persian Berries, 40 bales have been sold at previous prices. Madders and Roots continue in moderate demand. No sales in quercitron Bark. For Olive Oil there has been rather more inquiry than for some weeks past, and stocks being very small, extreme prices continue to be maintained for the small sales which have been effected. A dull market still prevails for all kinds of Fish Oils ; the business is con fined to small transactions, chiefly amongst the Dealers, and prices are rather lower. Pale Rape Oil has been less sought after, but the price is steady. Linseed Oil has attraeted some attention for forward delivery, but there Are very few sellers, and, on the spot, last week's prices would hardly now be accepted. Oil of Tupentine has been sold, in some instances, a shade under the annexed quota tion ; but a fair extent of business has been done at 555, the de mand having improved. Palm Oil has again receded a little ; but the reduction has brought an improved demand. and nearly 300 tons have been sold this week, at lOs to .t'33 per ton ; 100 tons were also sold for future delivery, at a lower rate, but by a speculator, in anticipator' of lower prices, and the sale cannot be taken as an accutate criterion of the state of the market. In Hemp and Flax the sales have been unimportant; prices without altera tion. Tallow continues dull of sale, and limited transactions only take place in in yellow Candle, at about 48s; 100 pipes South American have been sold at 38s to 43s and 3d, being a decline of is ticl per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 19 The market Opened with an improved demand, which was con siderably increased by the arrival, on Monday morning, of the steamer from the United states, and estimates of the crop being further reduced. Towards the middle of the week business became very animated, and an advance of id to id per lb was readily paid for the common to fair qualities of American ; in other descriptions there was little or no change, with the exception of Surat, which was rather clearer. During the last two days the demand has been less extensive, but the advance is maintained. Speculators have taken 17,300 American rand 700 Surat, and Exporters 450 American ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, , From the Igth instant, to this day, inclusive.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 20 During the last seven days we have had a fair sapply of Wheat, Barley, and Malt coastwise, and upwards of 10,000 loads of Oat meal, from Ireland. The arrivals of other descriptions of free Grain, as well as those of Flour have been moderate. The week's imports from abroad comprise 700 quarters of Beans and 12,800 barrels of Flour, the latter from the United States. Without any thing like an extensive vend for Wheat, but under a fair, steady demand for consumption, holders here have been very firm, and have been enabled to establish an advance generally of Id per 701bs on our last quotations. Free Flour has met a moderate sale at previous rates. Oats have continued in small supply ; the de mand, hOwever, has not stepped beyond the wants of necessitous buyers, aeal no material alteration' has occurred in their vflue : as 2d to 3s Itad per ,albs has been paid for a few fine mealing. 'Oatmeal has latterly sold father more freely at 275 to 27s 6,1 per 2401b5. Most of the roundland Barley as been cleared off at 375 to ags per quarter for grinding qualities Irish and Foreign have met little inquiry and are rather cheaper. No change as regards Beans or Peas. Up to yesterday inclusive, about 8,000 barrels of United States Flour had changed hands, in bond, at 345 6d; and, to-day, 2,000 barrels have been sold at 25s per barrel. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT.
