COTTON.—LtvxarooL. MAT 11.—The sales to-day are
estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, of which exporters
have token 1,600, and speculators 3,000 bales, ehirfly
American. There are Included 1,600 Penman and Nero-
ham, at GO. to 71d.; 600 Egyptian, at Ad. to old.;
and 800 Surat,at 31d. to 41.1.. The imports since Thurs•
day are 100,000 bales. The market closes firmly, but with
less excitement. Prices of American, particularly the good
middling qualities of Bowed and Orleans, are 1 dearer than
on Friday ; all other sorts unchanged.
MANCIII/Tl/4 MAT 11.—Tbe advice. by the America
steam-ship, from Boston, of a rising cotton market in the
Gaited States, notwithstanding unparalleled receipts fur
extent, end the upward course of it.. Liverpool cotton mar-
ket, have induced spinners and manufacturers to demand
ea advance to.day, but in a general way it bee only had the
effect of checking business. Merchants mud it a good
deal in the light of a speculative mania, induced by the
ehsapnese of money. The buyers both for India and Ger-
many, who have lately been operating rather freely, are
exercising caution. Both In yarns and cloth there
was • deal of inquiry, and where last priees were
taken, tiers was • fair business. The home trade an some
cases pro the advance, but not very freely.
WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lxena, MAT 11.—The market
has been of an usual character to-day : the average busi-
ness for a Tuesday bar been done at Srm prices.

WOOL.—HotomsainzLo, May 11.—The stook of Wools
us now ptung low, and the choice is therefore much li-
mited, consequently business has been very dull to-day, and
seem much disposed to delay their purchases
sales.

MANUFACTURES.-HUDDERSTIELD, May 11.-We
have had • little doing in fancy patterns adapted for the
seuon, but the general business has been very flat, all other
sorts having been much nett( eted ; neither have the ware-
houses been busy with shipping orders during the week.
CORN.-lIVLL, May 11.-Arrivals have been moderate
during the week, but the trade ruled dull, and but little
business resulted. The weather has been variable, wind
more westerly, and more sun, but nights cold, and &trifling
shower we two is all the rain that has fallen. We have
emphinta as to the pastured and spring corn, but
I Wheat hobs well. We had to-day a moderate supply of
Wheat from our own farmers, with a small show of foreign ;
Ingitsh Wheat was slow sale, at the current rata. of Isat
market day, millers not being able to make any impression
upon fanams, who are now of a class that can afford to
hold, and seem inclined to du so. Only a retail sale for
chambered foreign, without any quotable alteration in value.
Very little Barley on the market, and no change in price ;
and the same remark applies to Oats of all kinds. Beene,
of which our main supply is a fine quality of Egyptian, axe
held for more money, which makes the sale rather slow.
Not much of the import of Linseed comes on the market,
and the business doing is consequently limited. The low
continued drought, coupled with the short make, earhise
our Hull crushers to maintain their price for eake; bed
foreign are in better supply, and may be bought on easier
terms. No Rapeseed on sale, and Cakes unaltered.

Lanni, MAT 11.-WO have a good show of samples ef
wheat for this day's market ; the trade continues depressed.
with a general decline in prices, nevertheless, fine sorts are
withdrawn from the market rather than submit to the re-

dency. Egyptian beans have improved 6d. per quarter.
Indian corn has been in very slow request, and 6d. per
quarter lower. In other articles there has been little dWn&
and no material change in value. The weather, with tbs
exception of a few trifling showers, continues dry. At this
day's Market there was a moderately good attendance of
the town and country trade, who, however, acted with sal
treme caution, and a very limited business resulted. Wheat
was iu slow request, at a decline of ld. to 2d. per 7011 s.
American flour, however, was in good demand, at a slight
reduction on the prices of this day. week. Sack flour wee
neglected and nominally unaltered In value. Oats and osts
meal sold slowly, at late rates. Barley and pease remained
without change ; but beans were 6d per quarter dearer,
255. to 251. C.d. per quarter being obtainable in quantity
for Egyptian. Indian corn met with little attention, and
mast be quoted 6d. to Is. per. quarter cheaper. Arrivals

NERCAISLZ, May 11.-We have had a further fell se
raid its Saturday, but it hos not been succeeded by &high
tempo re, to-day being cold and gloomy, with a rising
bereaslise. At our market, this morning we had a =Me-
al* Maw d WWII drain the growers, and having very

CATTLE.—Saitasynr, May 11.—Supply of Boasts this
morning was tolerably good as to condition, but in number
small (considering the season), although they proved ample
for the demand; for there were but few purchasers in the
market, and many inferior Beasts remained in the market
till a late hour before sold, a clearance being effected at a
very low figure. From the paucity of Sheep we might
hare anticipated &brisk sale, but on the other hand business
was very flagging, fully sustaining the rates of last market.
There was also a very little Lamb on offer which was
readily sold at high prices. Calves continue in good supply,
and meet a good sale. In the Pig market there was not
much business doing, and prices remain stationary. Cows,
with Calves, which were in good supply, met • slow inquiry.
On Beef, Bs. to Bs. 6d. per score ; sow and heifer ditto, 7s.
to 7e. Bd. Down Mutton, 6d. per lb.; inferior, 4td. to 6d.;
carcass Veal, 6e. 9d. to 71. 3d. per score. Lamb, 70. to Bd.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.—At six
o'clock yesterday morning the Earl of Harrowby presided
at a public breakfast, which took thee at the Freeman:ma'
Tavern, in furtherance of the objects of this reociation.
About 300 people trembled on the occasion, and the chair
was supported by the American Minister, the Rev. T.
Nolan, the Rev. Mr. Robinson, the Rev. Mr. Harrison, and
many other clergymen. At the concluders of the breakfast
a h wee sung, and immediately afterwards the noble
addressed the company, congratulating them upon
the peeress they were making in their efforts to promote
the owe of Christianit yardtin the young men
who bad thus stepped f in the right path not to to
N' et their sphere of usefulness, but to continue to spread
the doctrines they advocated amongst those who were not
mailleiently Christian in their spirit and intentions. The
reverend gentlemen whose names we have mentioned
severally addressed the meeting, and pointed out the great
advantages to be derived front associations of this nature
in the promotion of intellectual and moral advance-
mem. In reference to the progress of the society,
it appeared that during the past year, the emaciation had
held above 550 public meetings of young men, for prayer
and the communication of religious truth ; and above 1,000
others had been conducted by its members in commercial
establishments; 382,000 tracts and addresses had been gra-
tuitously distributed, and probably mote than 100,000
young men had been reached by these agencies. The pre-
sent number of subscribers to the library and rending-
rooms, who were not members of the association, WI about
426, and those who were members about 223 ; making a
total of 650. The receipts of the association during the
year were, from donations and subscriptions, 2,0361. 12a.,
and from lectors" and sales of publications, 1,0711. 10s. 7d.,
making a total of 3,1081. 2a. 7d.; this amount being an
increase over that of the previous year of 1,0681. Os. 4d.
The expenditure of the year was 3,4381. Is. 2d., and the
balance due to the treasurer, 791. 14s. 241. This encase of
expenditure was erred by the vadat efforts made d
the Eshibition, the met of whkl amounted to upwards of
6001. The =spay separated shortly before 9o'
