Police Constable Joseph Jourdan, 88 L, said that, having

MARKETS.

COTTON.—Lnranpooh, Dec. 31.—The eotton brokers
of Liverpool were engaged, yesterday, in stock taking, with
a view to place White coliseums the actual, as compared
with the estimated, stock. Intuitsa iutereit was attached to
the result, owing to last year's stock-taking havirg shown
as exam of 94,600 bales. The result has just transpired.
The actual stock is— American, 261,234 balsa; Entail,
88,813 bales; Egyptian, 32,162 bales; West Indian, 903
bales; Surat, 91,947 bales: total, 464,879 bales. The error
is about 80,000 balm, which is an PIONS cud the result has
been an almoet enire stoppage of transactions tads,. There
were people who anticipated en error in an opposite dines,
tion, and it Is not as yet believed that the return is to be
depended upon, or that merchants feel themselves dispoesd
to give an exact report of their stocks.
The market to-day was rather dull, the sales only
mounting to 4,000 bales, and in some instance id. per lb.
has bias conceded. . _

'denominate, Dec. 31.—Oar dolt and yarn market
held on this, the last day of the year. was held uncle r a
variety of circumtsances, all u itswere concurrently tending to
depress the spirits of both buyers and sellers. in the first
plies the receipt of the Asia's &deices from the United
Btatea with the anomalous state of the cAton market thin.,
which appeared to have drooped nearly to an extent corres-
ponding with the advance in the Liverpool min ler the raw
material was not very enceurairng. Then the adenines by
the Bank of England In her rates of discount, and • current
rumour among moneyed men that it is intended to put the
screw on to the extent of another half per cent., was not
calculated to give much confidence; and, as if for a make
weight we had the additional istelligence from Liverpool
of an excess discovered in the balance of cotton
on hand over previous estimates to the extent of
70,000 b.lea! However the dr, ct has been less de.
p g than might hays bean expected. The nor on
the same side the ledger of 93,000 hales of cotton at Leer.
pool, which created so much sensation here at the clots of
last year, caused the blunder on this occasion of only 70,000
to fall with somewhat Ina surprise on the
matter-of-tart, exact, men of business, than might have been
expected ; and neither the list of circumstances here detailed,
nor the unusually large importation of 1,300 bags of cotton
from India, which, with other shipments spoken of thence,
high prices, and the influence of public opinion upon the.
Indi.n government, may have jointly helped to throw for-
ward to help our scanty supplies, have had the effect of
producing a all of price.. Both in yarn and cloth prices
have been sustained with great firmness in the home trade,
as well as for export. The tendency to adv.,nce has no doubt
been checked, and buyers have been wenn notions, but the
latter circumstance is pertly owing to the large operations
already entered into, and the extent to which merchants have
placed orders and contracts with *Winn and manufacturers,
which must take many weeks weaned.. The brief account
given by the circular of a large and influential house this
evening, may be appended to this notice of the merest:—
" There has been Ins animation in the market to day—the
result, no doubt, msinly of the mistake again brought to
light in the estimated stock of cotton in Liverpool, and
which has towel up about 70,000 bales more than was
an.icipate I, As the stock is about equal to that at the close
of lest year, some doubts will naturally arise as to the mein.
tenance of the present high range of prices, as compared with
those which then ruled."

MANUFACTURES.—HUDIAUTIELD, Dec. 31.—The
put has been a sort of holiday week, and little has been done
in the factories, and some of the little manufacturer. have
not attended the Hall today. The merchants h■ve not
acted with gnat spirit to-day, thinking, no doubt, that
goods will be bought cheaper in • short time; but in this
we apprehend they will find out their mistake, u very entail
stocks are remaining on hand, and the prospects of trade are
good.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Leene, Dec. 31.—This, the list
day of the year, requiring the attectiun of the merchants in
their own warehouses and counting-houses, has caused the
attendance in the chat halls to beery limited ; conuquently
the business done has only bet n mill, and the market gene-
ra:3, quint and inactive.

WOOL. Laviaroot, Jan. I.—Messrs. Rlbinson and
