She stated, in defence, that she had given three separate notices at the public offices to have her midden emptied, which were not atten2ed to, and consequently she was obliged to throw the rdfuse where she did. The charge was dismissed. ASSAULT.—Edward Peters, an agent in the employ of Messrs. Bahr, Behrend and Co., summoned A. L. Jackson, a gentleman following the same line of business, in the employ of Messrs. Heyn and Co. ' for an assault which he had committed on the 25th of fast month. Mr. Cobb appeared for the complainant, and 'Mr.' Blackhurst for the defendant. It appeared that there had been some rival jealousies between the parties, and on the day in question the complainant, accompanied with a captain, went into the office of Messrs. Heyn and Co., when the defendant rushed at him and struck him on the head with an ink bottle, and blackened his eye with a blow of his fist in a struggle that ensued. The defendant alleged that the complainant had given him provocation previously by spitting in his face and using approbious expressions towards him. He was fined in 40s and costs. • CRIME IN AMERICA ACCOUNTED FOR.. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—lt is the misfortune of some people, that they invariably form their judgment of the characteristics of other people by police reports and Arrowsmith atrocities. Perhaps a useful caution or lesson may be furnished to such persons, by presenting to their very charitable view an occasional statistic, which, at the same time, may assist them in extracting that "beam in their own eye," and thereby improve their -visional organs. The following figures are from the annual report, of the police department, of the city of New York. Total of arrests for the year ending February 1, 1359, Of these were— Americans, . Foreigners, . 11,554 51,113 62,667 Of the foreigners were born— in Germany, Italy, Canada, :Great Britain— England, Scotland, Ireland, Unknown, . 5,178 197 . . . . 245 . . . 2,248 .. . 796 . . 36,033 39,077 6,416 62,667 From the foregoing. it appears that about 18 per cent were Americans, and about 63 per cent. sub jects of " Her Most Gracious Majesty." Further comment is needless.—Your most obedient, •Liverpool, March 11, 1859. NEW YORK. The Star reports that Lord Clyde will not return home at present. • The alteration in the postage of newspapers to India and Australia, which was to have come into operation on the Ist of April, is postponed to the Ist of January next. The mail steamers have recommenced running between this-country and Sweden. The mails will in future be put on board at Hull, instead of Grimsby, as in former years. THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES.—The Times recommends a public-subscription in favour of the Neapolitan exiles who -arrived at eork, and says that in the whole history of con tinental turmoils, since 1815, there is not an instance to be found of men who have suffered such grievous wrongs with hands so- entirely clean. -RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETunzrs.-- The Lancashire and Yorkshire - Railway return shews this - week an increase of ni2333; the East Lancashire, an increase of £1,221 ; the Manehester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, increase of £1,3;32 ; the -Mdland, an increase of £2,176-; the Eastern Counties, an increase of £1,620. To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.--A most profitable article of export, to ',warm climates especially, are the •Charcoal Filters, patented - ky Messrs. Saunders and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Livtrpool—in fact they are invaitzable wherever there is bad water, S. and Co. allow a liberal discount on export and whole sale orders. PAIILIA7NVENTARY REFORM IN IRELAND.—A meeting of Irish Liber members was held on Thursday afternoon in one of the cemmittes rooms of the Er_oup of Commons, to take into consideration -the subject of Parliamentary Reform as -effecting. Ireland. RestAutions were passed condemnatory of the English sill, and deprecating Yee application of its principles to luland; also, one in favatir of the ballot, aid another urging an additi‘nal number of members fur Ireland. .The steady quotation.s .of last evening from the Paris Bourse caused the English Funds to open with firmness to-day ; and owing .to •the announcemezit that Lord Cowley has been entrusted with counter propositions, which are thought likely to be favourably entertained, the market subsequently slimed increased sirength. By some persons it is believed that the propositions in question will include 2, reduction_ of the existing armaments in France and Austria, without whieh any arrangem en t s would be almost val ueless;. —.lines City Article, Friday .Evening . _ _ In the absence of alarming rumours, a rise of nearly per cent. was temporarily attained, under the force of the investments lately made. As soon as it transpired that the French Funds opened at a decline, less buoyancy was shown, but the latter quotations were still about a per cent. above those of yesterday. In the other markets, that for British Railway ,Stock was the firmest in character, owing to the e6nfidence inspired by the general increase in the traffic. At Paris. to-day, the Three per Cent. Rentes show a fall of to per cent. At Vienna and Frankfort, yesterday, a fall of to 1 per cent, took place in the Austrian Funds. In the Discount Market, the supply of money is less liberal than of late, and 21 p er cent. may b e considered the rate for the best bills. There were no bullion operations at the Bank to-day, The steamer Pera will take for Bombay on Saturday Vk84,925 in silver, all on private account, the largest remittal: sea to th a t port during a lengthened period. According t o Mr. Gatterthwaite's weekly report, the demand fir American wan, V 3 in London for investment continues to increase. —. Daily .A 7 C'es City Article : Thursday Evening. THE NORTHERN TIMES S,A,TURDAT, MARCH 12, 1859 MONETARY AND - COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Friday A wn i ng. ' There has been no change in the ( ...:otton Market i e .tl about 3 be' large, amount to-day, and the sales have again ,000 have b in e g en to ta l k o e ,O n oo fo b r al s e p s, ec a u n l d at o i f on wh and for export. The sales of the week foot up 71,240 bales, and prices are now from a sixteenth to a farthing per pound higher than on Frid.'dy last, and the market closed this evening very firm at the advance. Messrs. Wright, jun., and. Co., in their circular issued this afternoon, say At the time of closing our. last circular advices, dated 4th instant, per Asia, our Cotton market presented a firm aspect at extreme prices, for all the tlean descriptions of American. The present week opened with renewed spirit, both spin ners, speculators, and exporters operating liberally, and with increasing confidence, the demand running chiefly on qualities low to good middling, which have advanced 4-d. to 3-16 d. per lb. on last Friday's quotations. The advices per America, produced no sensible influence, the receipts con tinuing large, and the stocks accumulating in the shipping ports, inducing the opinion that more extensive shipments will shortly be centered upon, and replenish our decreasing holdings. Importers take advantage of the present demand to more widely diffuse the interest, but which adds strength to the market, and imparts hopeful anticipations. Political matters are more promising and the war feeling is subsid ing; the -future must not, however, be regarded as entirely free from apprehension in this respect, as it is well under stood that the pretext only is wanting to disturb tranquility, and hostile preparations are nnrelaxed ; the funds and public securities had a rising tendency, but which is checked by what is felt to he but a temporary and insecure concession to the public voice. To-day's market is scarcely so buoyant, although prices are steadily maintained, the offerings are increased ; the estimated sales are 10,000 bales, 3,000 to speculators and exporters. The total sales of the week, in- -eluding what has been forwarded from the ship's side, amount to 71,240 bales, of which 55,920 are American. Speculators have taken 16,380, and exporters 7,630, leaving 47,230 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for same time is 53,798 bales, of which 47,011 are American. The quantity known to be at sea from American ports is about 94,00 bales. THE STIPENDIARY AND UNPAID MAGIS- .IVtRPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCEO-YnsrEnnar. BEFORE MU. M ANSFIELD. In the case of Mr. Ellis, a defendant produced ort of which appa young in our paper of yes t er day, the man named John Hodson, who corroborated the statement made by him (Mr. Ellis), 'but Mr. Mansfield was of opinion that Mr. Ellis should not have interfered with the police, and fined him lOs and costs for the assault. ASSAULT ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP.—John WPher son and John Crook, two sailors on board the American ship Richard Busteed, were charged with having assaulted John Gibney, the second mate of the ship. Mr. Cobb was for the prisoners. The complainant said there was a fill-rigged brig passing them in the river, when the prisoners and some other men began to jeer and abuse the people on board, and he told them to conduct themselves properly, when one of them hit him on the head with a "sling-shot," and the other drew a dagger and threatened to stab him. To Mr. Cobb : There was a rat in the chains of the brig, and that caused the observa tions. . Mr. Cobb said the facts were these :—There was a rat in the chains of the brie. ' , and one of the men said to another, " if I were on board thep,,brig, I would serve the rat this way," at the same time raising the sling-shot, which came in contact with the mate's head. The mate denied that, and said the blow was given him on purpose, and the -Other man threatened to stab him. Mr. Cobb : But you do not wish to press the case. - Complainant : Yes, I do wish to press it, as I have no notion of being mur dered in this way. Mr. Cobb : But your head must be. very thick when it is not cut ? Mr. - Mansfield said it was unfortunate the American mercantile 'service had not some arrangements here to get respectable seamen, and the consequence was that they got all sorts of blackguards on board. He fined the prisoners £2 each, or two months' imprisonment. " KNOCKING UP AND KNOCKING DOWN."—A well dressed young man, named Benjamin Lee, described by the police under the compre hensive term " thief," who lives in Limekilu-lane~ was charged with having ;assaulted George Hume, the keeper of an eating-house at 7, Skelhorne street. The complainant said the prisoner, with five others, went into the house, had something to eat, but refused to pay, and then the prisoner broke a square of glass in the window, and when the prosecutor asked him to pay, he gave him a box in the jaw, 'knocked him deiten, and cut his head. The prisoner was sett to jail for two months, in default of paying £2 fine. POCKET-PICKING. —Two' well-dressed- young females, Margaret Keefe and Catherine Qhaile, were charged With baying picked the " pocket of Mrs. Bickerton, wife of 'Sur geon Bickerton, Mount-pleasant. From the evidence it appeared that a .gentleman and a police-officer watched the prisoners in- Bold-street, the previous evening, following some ladies, and at last they peeked the pocket of the lady of a purse containing 2s. They were followed and arrested in L'iwton-street, and when 'at the station, one , of them dropped the purse. Mr. Blnsk for the prisoners, -cross examined:the witnesses, but did] not shake their 'evidence, and as the prisoners were "ild hands," they were sent for trial. THE DANGER OF KNOWING THE LAw.—Michael Itoberts, a respectable looking young man, was charged by 'a . poliee officer with having been drunk and disorderly in St. James's- . place the previous' night. The officer wanted him to o away, but he refused, saying he was an attorneys clerk, and that he knew the 'law better than any pOliceman in. England, and he would:A:each it to the police. However, the officer taught him the value of power over law, for he took bim to the station —not by the strong army f the law, but by the power of t he sinews of his righ arm.; and Mr. Mansfield, also, taught him an additional chapter on 4' personal liberty," by ordering him to country lodgings at .Kirkdale, for the space of 72 .hours, provided he did not find 53. and costs, to keep him from the pleasing society of Mr. Gibbs, the governor of that suburban retreat for gentle men .and ladies who know the law, but who fail -to obey it. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON SHIPBOARD ON A BLACK MAN.— Thomas Parrington, the second mate of the ship Samaritan, was charged with having committed a violent, if not fatal, assault on a black sailor, named William Campbell, who belonged to the ship. Mr. Black was for the -prisoner. The injured man hes at the Northern Hospital in, as was stated by certificate, a serious state. John Warren,a.rigger, said he was working on board the ship Busteed, about 400 yards from the Samaritan, and he saw a man on board the :latter in the rigging beating another, with a rope, for from half to three quarters of an hour. The man with the rope was on the.royal yard, and the man he was beating above him. When the man got the last blow, he fell, but witness could not see where he fell to. He went on shore, and told -the police. Cross-examined by Mr. Black: I could not tell who either of the men were ; could tell it was .a human being he was beating ; could not say if the man was black or white. I saw it was a rope, and could see the man struck with it. The man who struck the other was 14 , or 15 feet from the man he struck. I saw the man tumble down, and I consider it was from a blow that he lost his kohl, and I think he fell more than 145 feet. Francis Hallman, a black sailor on board the ship, was examined, and said : About half-past four o'clock the prisoner sent the injured man to grease the sky-sails. The man said he was just after doing so, when the prisoner caught up a rope and ran after him, and was beating him from half to three quarters of an 'hour. The man went up as high as he teuld, and: at last the prisoner struck him on the hand lay which .he was holding on, and then the man fell to the brace' :and then on to the deck. He was beat chiefly about . the thighs. The man was singing out to the prisoner not to beat him. He fell for about 140 feet before he met the brace, and from that to the deck 15 , fir 16 feet.;. he laid out on his back and stretched out his arms, but never . spoke a word after. There was nothing done with him, except carry him to the forecastle. The captain saw him in abont three-and-a-half hours after, but he did not seem to care about him. He is about twenty-one years of age, but witness knows nothing more about him, except he heard that he came from about New York. The police came about half-past eight or nine o'clock and :took him -ashore. 'William Henry, another black sailor, gave similar evidence. Mr. Black hoped the man would be soon able to attend from the hospital. His Worship hoped so, for the sake of the prisoner, but if the man died, the case, as it at present looked, would be rather worse than manslaughter. .The prisoner was remanded until the result of the injuries on Campbell could be ascertained. BEFORE MESSRS. ANDERSON AND HOUGHTON. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SWEARING.—WiIIiam •Smith, who described himself, as a general agent for the sale of goods of all sorts, summoned Maria M'Parlin, milliner, 91, Scotland-road, for an assault; and Mrs. MtParlin - summoned William Smith for an assault. Mr. Black was for Mr. Smith, aud Mr. Cobb for ' i the lady. Mr. Smith's case was first called on, and from his extraordinary manner, ,gestures and otherwise, he created a peat amount of merriment. He said, en the 3rd inst., between four and five o'clock, he was in the neigh bourhood of the defendant's house, when he saw her -look at him in a very disrespectful way, put out. her tongue at him, make "bacon" with her hands at him, and otherwise insult his feelings. He stepped over to her, and asked if - she alluded to him ? She said, get away you bailiff, and -then struck him in the face, tore his collar, and used other indignities to him. He really did not know what ,she meant by a bailiff, and he thought she was mad when she made at him and grasped him like any tigress—a very tigress. (Laughter.) People might laugh, but it was not anything to laugh at to be caught in the 'arms of a she tigress. (Loud laughter.) He thought she was a lady, because he had a wife and six little daughters, and therefore he could not do it. Mr. Black : Do what? Mr. Smith : Release myself from the arms of the lady tigress, by giving her a blow—"no, not I ; no, not L" The moreso, as I did not know the meaning of " Mr. Block : Wh a t did y ou thi n k a b ou t it ? Complainant with great earnestness and ludicrous gaiety : 'Why, my dear sir, think, what do you think Leould think about it ? Mr. Cobb : Oh, but I will make you think about it before I have done with you. Now, sir, are you not one of the '‘f forty thieves." and do you swear you do not know what a bailiff is ? Certainly I do not my dear -sir. (Great laugh tee.) Mr. Cobb : On your oath, sir, avill you tell the magistrates here, in the face of this court, and the people 1 - 1 ,t,!. that you, William Smith, one of the well - known forty thi eves ', bailiff me ans ? of Liverpool, that you don't know what a Oh, I know what a bailiff means, but I did not know what she meant when she applied to me, and t'at's what I said. Mr. Cobb : Oh, I see Mr. Smith, I must speak by the card, or your equivo cation will undo m e , oil say you are a commission agent for all sorts of goods ? your extensive Mr. Cobb: aud where do you carry on transactions ? At 51, Currv-street. Mr.. Cobb : 0n Your ev oath ,, sir, are you not one of the gang_ of the "forty Mr. Smith : Can you, sir, prove I am ? Yes sir , I e e! ? you a . f Oh, not at all my answer me. Did you know the lady 'l,, t * ,, r l V I W ill m ake clear sir—she was a foreigner--quite - my good foreigne r to me. Were you inside her shop ? die tigress" my coat tail was not there. Mr. Cobb: And the t you ? Fitness : My very good sir, an d friet'aess " held you are, no doubt, a an of wide experience, cultivated gentlemanly d m eportment, and elevated idea, h ut you mind nev' yet saw wliat I saw ! Mr. Cobb : You a re certainly the most extraordinary fellow I ever met. M r . S m i t h proves the saying —" The longer we live, the more we know." Mr. Cobb : Well, I really would not like to know many such fellows as yon are. hid you kick the lady ; Sir, I would cut my hand, or my leg, or my foot— .nay, my head off, before I should do such a deed. Did you kar her gown ? Nu; not even the atten tion of the "tigress " could induce me to do that. Did you not drag her into the street ? You are wrongly • instructed, because you were. not present. You, my very good sir, have no advantage at all in this case; why I . would not do such an unmanly action for one thousand guineas. Mr. Cobb : I will not ask this man anything.. m re, for it appears to ins be is a madman. Mr. Smith dolead himself into a theatrical attitude, and chewed something, supposed to be. furiously, and continued to do -.0 tobacco, very 'WAR . the case terminated. Henry Francis, of street, and a gift proved that they saw the defr A d an t assau lt M r . S m ith. These were cross-examined Ir .( was not shaken. This we Mr. Gobb, but their eyidence .4 the cast for Mr. Smith, and then Mrs. M'Parlin proceed;ctd with her case against him. She swore he came into ts n, o some thing, when he F as she thought to buy he was u brother-in-law of a man over the way, and fr..setta,e. .A.A uer instkting a boy. He dragged her out, tore her g o wn, v 4 and. ill-used her very much. This was corrobore; witnes s , and y Arne Money, George Owen, another partly 'by a policeman, who was called towards the 'end ef the Rraettshin." Mr. Cobb - then addressed thecourt, when Mr. '!inderson said it was one `s the most extraor.linary cases of F.weating he had either ever heard or read of. The witnesses on both sides were evidently respectable, and the magistrates were bound to believe them. If there Was only one assault committed, there was gross perjury - committed somewhere, but the only thing the bench could do was to conclude that there were two assaults committed, and there fore, they fine each party 11 and costs. • A Mrs. Haiming, the wife of a captain now at sea, summoned Mr. Spooner, the proprietor of the Ship Inn. Mersey-street, for hay p.: detained certain articles and pawn tickets, which le held as security for a debt, as she had tendered him °a certain amount, but he refused to take it, alleging that There was more due. Mr. Campbell was for the. aomplainant. and Mr. Blutk for the defence. A question was raised by the latter as 'to the description of property, which he alleged did not tame within the meaning of the act, and -this being ruled in 'favour, the case was dismissed. TRATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—On Tuesday you published a report of some proceedings which took place at the meeting of magistrates held on Monday. The summons con vening the meeting stated the object to be to take into consideration the state of prostitution in Liverpool. You have frequently advocated the appointment of a secon d stipendiary magistrate, and the observations made at that meeting more than ever confirm me in the correctness of your views. We have plenty of the " great unpaid " justices in Liverpool ; but, with , few exceptions, these gentlemen do not attend, either to the duties of the magisterial office, in the adminis tration of the law, nor even at a meeting, except upon special occasions. How often, for the last two or three years, have your columns been the medium of the public complaints consequent upon the non attendance of lay magistrates, to dispose of the public business ? This, surely, is some proof that a second qualified and competent stipendiary magis strate should be appointed. It would be beneficial to all parties. Now, the meeting on Monday, although called ostensibly for the purpose named, was as wide of the mark as "chalk differs from cheese." The whole discussion was directed against an order made by Mr. Mansfield, in June last, with regard to certain proceedings against certain houses in Lime-street. I stop not here to enquire into the propriety of the order, but that Mr. Mansfield had the power to make it is unquestionable. This appears to be the point that thorned the great unpaid. Their dignity was hurt, they were not consulted, and therefore they got vexed, because a man who really knows the law made, an order without consulting their high mighti nesses, the great unpaid. This was the whole point they fiddled on at the meeting, and not a word in regard to the subject that called them together was mooted. No doubt Mr. Castellaine pro duced a return issued by Major Greig, alleging that houses of ill-fame and pros. titutes had increase 1 since Mr. Mansfield made the order. The latter gentleman, however, produced statistics equally good, to show that the report of Major Greig was, as he stated, exaggerated, if not utterly false. This is a decided " fix ' for the Major, and let him get out of it in the best way he can. Mr. Mansfield I take to be the best authority of the two. Mr. Mansfield also made grave charges against the police, and manfully charged them with gross and open corrup tion in their proceedings towards the houses in Lime-street ; but although the " bench . ' of magis trates assembled at the meeting were " loud in clamour" against the order made by Mr. Mansfield, not one uttered a sentence against the accusation. Silence gave consent; at all events, it was prudent that they should be silent. I am not going, just now, to discuss . the ques tion of ether the Lime-street houses should be shut up or not (I think, if the latter the better), because it is not the real question. The point at issue on Monday was, whether Mr. Mansfield had a right to issue the order, without first having.con suited the lay magistrates ? I think he had, and if he did so improperly he was open to correc tion or censure, but not from the bench of lay mag istrates, who came to that meet ing to " S cholar" him for his act. I might refer at more length to this point, but I think my views are those entertained by the common sense of the whole community, and I think there could not be a greater .or more proper rebuke given to the men who attacked him, than when he told them to rescind the order if they wished, but first to correct the gross profligacy and corruption of the police, and not to stultify themselves by one batch of the unpaid coming one day, and upsetting what another batch did the day before. The fact is, until we have another paid lawyer on the bench, we shall have, occasionally, justice a laughing stock on the bench, and the administration of the law, not as it ought to be, but a public farce. With regard to the bit of an introduction in the small scene that took place between Mr. Evans and Mr. Wybergh, I have only to say that the " oldest magistrate" does not seem to have improved in wis dom as he has proceeded- Ile has openly proclaimed himself a partisan by stating that he is, on the bench, an enemy to publicans, and that's enough. THE RAILWAY QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir, —Your contemporary the Albion has obtained, from its country correspondent, an assurance that not less than 255. per ton is charged for bale goods from Manchester to • London. - Considering the manner in which the question was put, the answer might have been more full. The rate charged, and the rate actually paid, are two different things . very often. I should have been glad to know if the London and North Western do not engage Man chester .; goods at a through rate to India, and what rate is .left to the rail, per ton weight, after paying the Shipper his charge per ton measurement? Is it 255., or is it 20s. ? One thing is certain, the companies to the south do give every facility and encouragement to this trade through London, and Liverpool can only ask for the same consideration. We are told that terminal charges are against a lower rate for the shorter distance ; but only rail way terminal charges are instanced, and they are over-stated. The canals being differently situated, and not connected with so elaborate a system as the railways, are satisfied with less terminals. Do we in consequence get the advantage of the cheaper conveyance ? No, the rates are fixed at a profit to the rail, and by agreement between the parties, the same rate is charged upon the canals. It is main tained that the rail rates are not too high, and, indeed,that they should be higher to reimburse the proprietors for the capital expended. This is a curious argument to be put before the shippers of Liverpool, and on the part of the London and North-Western, who have been expending their millions upon a favourite policy, that of getting into their hands half , of England, and which policy is • now set down as mismanagement. So long as -this policy was confined to the London and North-Western, with one or two other smaller companies,. there was no need of fear that it would succeed, as it -was easy to see that some day a rival company, acting in the same line, or in self defence, would -upset the scheme, and this has happened to the London and North-Western, before it had reached the interesting point for applying its success, in the reimbursiag of its proprietors for their outlay. The danger is w.eater now ; the rival .companies appear to be coming to a better understanding, and to be acting together. As a means of -preventing foolish co-mpetitionithis is all very well; but the temp tation to go beyond this will be great ; and we may find, perhaps, when it is too late to prevent much mischief, that some steps have been taken, which, though very acceptdible to those whose property has been thrown into the sea, may not be such as to serve the interests of the public gene rally, or Liverpool in particular. The public should now do for themselves, what the jealousy and rivalry of the railway companies have hitherto done for them. Should they fail, we mar, even under parliamentary sanction, enter upan another phase of " the railway question." • A. T. C. THE LONDON GAZETTE.

For beef there is a moderately active consumptive demand, at full prices for fine qualities, but at a slight reduction on ordinary descriptions, a large-proportioti of the late arrivals consisting of ordinary and inferior quality. American pork is neglected, and though prices are nominally unaltered, buyers of quantity could probably obtain a small concession. if he falling off in the receipts of American bacon, as com pared with last year, have scarcely any effect on the value of this article generally, as there is abundance of Irish and home-cured, for which moderate prices continue to be taken. There is no improvement in the, demand forlard ; the sales for the week are of a very retail character. The demand for cheese is less active, but prices are unchanged. There is a fair inquiry for tallow, at about last week's prices. Linseed cake in moderate request. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-MARCH 11. The more pacific appearance of politics on the Continent, and a slight decrease, as compared with a corresponding period last year, in the excess of receipts, have imparted renewed strength to our cotton market, which throughout the past week has displayed great activity, all parties par ticipating in the demand, and holders evincing considerable firmness, have obt a i ne d an ad v a n t age o f -}d to 3-16 d per lb. on American descriptions.

Edmund Jardine and Company, say : We have main to report a very active market this week, with a good demand both from the trade and speculators. The run has been chiefly on the better classes of American which, from the anticipated scarcity, are expected to command very extreme prices, and we quote an advance of 3-16 d. to per lb. on last Friday's currency in those qualities, and ed. to 3-16 d. in the lower grades. There has been a fair enquiry for Brazil and Egyptian, and the former are l i d to id., and the latter an 4d. dearer. The Stock of Surat is now under 10,000 bales, and they are fully Bcl. higher. The Liverpool Stock Exchange has again shown considerable animation, and the amount of business done to-day was considerable, but the upward ten dency of prices has not been quite so decided as during the past few days ; nevertheless quotations have been well sustained.

The Corn trade everywhere continues dull. At Wakefield, to-day, wheat was is per quarter lower,. with very little business. In Liverpool, although the attendance was larger, the amount of business done was very limited, and previous Prices were with difficnity maintained.
