COTTON.—LtvgarooL, Nov. 13.—The market has
been steady to-day; prices are the Name so yesterday. The
sales amounted to 6,000 bales, 600 of which were taken
on speculation, and include 4.500 American ; 300 rernam
and Manushain, aid. to 60.; 30 Bahia, 6t1.; 500 Egyp-
tian, jld. to 80.; 1,000 Surats, 2;(1. to 31d. ; 40 Sea
Islands, 13;d. to 18;d.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 13.—We have had a fair amount of
business in cotton yarn and cloth, but the upward tendency
'of prices has induced a good many buyers to pause. There
will probably nut he so much business done during tho re-
mainder of the week as in the lust few days, most of the
more pressing orders of buyers having been already more
advantogeoudy contracted fur. If cotton continues steady,
however, the disposition to replace the much reduced stocks
of goods in every quarter will probably lead to a fair trade
(or some time.

SOVTII AMERICAN MARKETS.
Beesus Antes, OCT. 4.
During the past month there has been some movement in
manufactured goods. The local demand has been more ani-
mated. Several troops of carts have been despatched for the
interior provinces, taking with them a fair average supply.
Some speculative transactions have also taken place, appa-
rently influenced by political considerations; but to these
we attach little intrinsic importance, as the goods exist in
the motto, and must again change hands before they reacts
the actual consumer. Storks, of course, are far from being
exhausted, the vacuum having been filled up, and perhaps
more tle filled up, by the recent arrivals. Still we grate-
fully acknowledge a temporary and perceptible alleviation,
and the prelude, we have no doubt, of a busier scene as the
season advances.
In the department of what we call secondary necessaries
thi re is comparatively little danger to he apprehended. Of
sugar, wine, oil, coffee, rice, spirits, toLeco, lumber, coals,
hardware., and the long list of minor importations from
Brazil, the Visited States, and the Mediterranean, the con-
sumption is so great that a few months serve at any time to
rectify any accidental inequality between the supply and
demand. At present from eight to ten cargoes may exist
in first hands, with the wholesale stores moderately supplied.

PERNAMBUCO, OCT. 22.
Since the departure of the Tay our market has not shown
any signs of improvement, and business continues to be as
doll a,. possible. Sales of manufactures have been very li-
mited, and prices arc most unsatisfactory ; indeed, almost
all kinds of goods, but especially prints, are selling at a loss.
Stocks in the hands of importers are not heasy, and sup-
plies have of late been moderate, but the dealers are
cramped with goods which they have been buying during the,
past tour months in auctions, tempted by the low prices and
a credit of 12 months, while, in the absence of a demand,
they have found no ouUet fur their purchases. The present
is usually a season of much activity, but as yet there are no
signs of briskness. Our winter season has continued un-
usually long, and the sugar crops will be thrown back at
least n month. Cotton, too, comes in very slowly from the
country, both of which circumstances, by keeping the
country buyers from the market, tend to depress trade.
FREIGILTS, in the absence of any produce fur shipment,
are nominal. Several lugs, English and foreign, arc wait-
ing for employment, and id. per lb. would willingly be
accepted for cotton to Liverpool. Shipping is abundant at
the south ports, and the rates of freight very low, and as
arrivals are constantly taking place at Rio of vessels in
ballast from the west coast seeking freight, it is probable
that some of them may come up here, and our rates in such
case may open low when our shipping season commences.
EXCHANGE closes for this mail firm at 29d. per milreis,
at which about 40,0001. has been passed, GO days' sight, and
some small amounts at Aid. for 90 days' bills.

Mr. Cuthbertson, lath postmaster of Berwick-
upon-Tweed, and previously for 13 years at Chester-le-
Street, who was removed from the former place, has memo-
rialised the Lords of the Treasury for a full and impartial
investigation into the alleged cause of his expulsion.
CORPORATION OF THE SONS OF TUE CLERGY.—
The general annual court of this ancient society, chartered
in 1678, under the title of "The charity for the relief of poor
widows and orphans of clergymen," was yesterday held at
the Corporation-house. Bloomsbury-place, for the election
of officers for the ensuing year, and the transaction et
general business, Sir lt. 11. Inglis, Bart., M.P., in the chair.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Denman were
unanimously re-elected as president and vice.presideut :
the vacancies in the court of assistants occasioned by death
or retirement were filled up with the names of the follow-
ing noblemen and gentlemen:—Lord Hobert Grosvenor,
Lord Justice Knight Bruce, Lord Bishop of Chester, Master
Tinny, Archdeacon Sinclair, and the Lord Bishop of Lin-
coln. The report stated the income arising from dividends
on 8,6501. coati's, subscriptions, donations, and the col-
lection, at the annual sermon at St. Paul's and the dinner
at Merchant Tailors' Hall, to be 1,161/. 114.3c1., all which
was expended in carrying out the objects of the charity.
The proceedings terminated with the usual complimentary
vote to the chairman.

SAILORS' HOME AT GLASGOW.—On Tuesday a
numerous meeting of persons interested in trade and com-
merce was held in Glasgow, for the purpose of taking steps
to erect a sailors' home in that port. Sir Charles Napier
addressed the meeting at considerable length in explanation
of the advantages of these institutions, and it was stated
that the sum of 2,1001. had been already subscribed towards
the object in view, which it is intended to carry out imme-
diately.
TICE STEAM-SHIP BENTINCE. SOUTHAMPTON,
Nov. 12.—T0-day being appointed for the Admiralty sur-
vey on this ship—one of the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's India Mail steamers—she left the docks about 10
o'clock fur a trial trip, having on board the Admiralty en•
gineers and shipwright surveyors, three of the directors of
the company, Capt. Thornton, MN., J. C. Ewart, Esq.,
and A. Anderson, Esq., M.P.; Capt. Engledue, the com-
pany's superiutendent here, with a select party of friends,
among whom were Lurd George Lennox, Admiral Ward,
Capt. Hill, R.N., &c. The Ilentinek has ter some months
past been undergoing a thorough overhaul and repair here,
after about six years service in the Indian seas. She has
had feathering paddle-wheels fitted to her, new boilers on
the patented plan of Mr. Lamb, the company's superin-
tendent engineer, and the whole of her interior arrange-
ments have been remodelled and greatly improved—light,
capacity, ventilation, and every other requisite for
thu health, comfort, and even luxury of passengers hav-
ing been studied and adopted with an ingenuity which
requires to be seen in order to be appreciated. Among
other contrivances for ventilation are a pair of fans, which
can be set in motion by the engines of the ship, and, by
means of zinc tubes attached to them, will send currents of
air through all the passenger cabins, and will no doubt be
found a great improvement when in the warm atmosphere
of the fled Sea, ilke. The Matlack, although much deeper
than her ordinary draught, having a large supply of nearly
700 tons of coals on board, ran the measured mile ut an
average speed of nearly eleven knots, which when in ordi•
nary trim it is estimated will be increased by one to ono
and a half knots more, and will show an increase of at least
two knots an hour on her former speed. She returned to
the docks shortly before three, her excellent band playing
" Rule Britannia," her elegant appearance on the water,
neatness of rigging, &c., being much admired. She takes
out the India mails of the 20th inst.
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 13.—The Sharpshooter, 8,
screw steam sloop, Lieutenant Commander J. C. Bailey,
arrived at Spithead this afternoon from Rio de Janeiro,
which she left on the 19th of September. She called at
Pernambuco Oct. 3, and St. Vincent Oct. 18 ; she having a
small mail from Pernambuco. We learn by her that the
Southampton, SO, bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Rey-
nolds, was at Monte Video, waiting to be relieved by the
Centaur, Rear-Admiral Henderson. The Tweed, 11,
Commander Lord F. Russell, was also at Monte Video. The
