COTTON.—LITIIRPOOL, Nov. 10.—The market dosed 11
firmly but without animation, and prices of Americans and I
SWIM are light, but other kinds are unchanged. The sales
amount to 6,000 baler, comprising 5,000 Americans (500 for

MANCHESTER, Nov. 10.—Although there is only a mode-
rate business doing, people seem disposed, now that the
corn and money markets are easier, to take a more favour.
able view of things, and 4o hope that the worst is past;
but the hostilities in the east still cause uncertainty to
prevail. Prices remain very much the same as on Tuesday.
In yarns the chief business is in 40's and 60'. for India,
and also in the lower numbers for Bombay. The low classes
of goods are also in demand for the same quarter, but the
home trade continues fiat, and alto that for Germany.
There is not much doing for the United States either.

WOOLS.—BRADFORD, Nov. 10.—There I• no change
diving the week, and the buying is on the narrowest scale
possible. The supplies coming to market are not increased,
nor is there any noticeable turn in priosa.—Bradford Ob-
server..

MANUFACTURES. Yarns : The supplies are most
diminished, the continued short-time working, stoppage of
machinery, and ruinous price for yarns, compared with the
cost of the raw material, compel the epinnete to cease work-
ing, u near as they possibly can, till a turn for the better
presents itself. Pieces: The seasonable and cheerful
weather during the present and previous weeks has given a
tone of confidence; this, with the short supply now making,
is telling favourably, and an opinion is gaining ground that
goods have seen their lowest prim—Bradford Observer.

CORN.—Bi aieixownx, Nov 10.—At Gloucester andWor
tatter markets, on the 4th, there was little doing in the
wheat trade, and we reduce our quotations le. to 2s. per qr.
Barley maintained its value. Oats still in limited supply,
but less in request. Beans again le. to 25.: per quarter
higher. ream scarce. During the present week the wheat
has railed dull, bat holders will not give way much in
price, consequently but little has changed hands. Barley
doll, but not lower. Oats funs. Beans freely taken in re-
tell. At Ibis lay'. market thers was a fair supply of
wheat, and sales could only be effected by submitting to a
decline of Is. to 2e. per quarter. Barley Is. to 2s. per

Davis's, Nov. 10.—We had a middling supply of
wheat, the best sampler of which mei a very natty sale,
fully realising last week's prices; bat inferior qualities
were much neglected, as for weeks put, being unlit, in
their preseat condition, for millers' use. Barley was in
lair supply, the best malting qualities sold as well as last
week ; but grinding sorts meta heavy select rather declining
prices. Beans were in good demand ; the best old ones,
which were very scarce, being eagerly sought after at higher
prices. In oats and peas no alteration. The following are

Ngwaan, Nov. 9.—At our market to-day there was •
full attendance. The supply of grain was liberal, but the
market was, not very &salve. Wheat was in good supply,
with numerous parties disposed to sell, but purchasers were
reluctant to give the prices demanded, and a decrease of
of ls. to 21. per qr. was consequent. Barley was plentifully
offering, but the demand was not extensive; a moderate
business was, however, effected at a reduction of 21. per qr.
New oats were not showing in large quantities, and old
samples were scarcely seen. Averages : Wheat, white, from
76e. to 78e.; red, 745. to 775. ; barley, new, 41s. to 445.; oats,

rather large, and the bulk out of condition, for which the
sale was slow, at 2s. per qr. decline, old and new main-
tamping late rates. The supply of barley was net large,
which met a steady sale at the prices of last week. Oats,
beans, and peas without change.
UZERIDOZ, Nov. 10.—With short supplies of wheat the
trade is dull ; the best price given for seed is 100 s. per qr.;
for grinding, 904. per qr. The best barley is not cheaper ;
but there are more samples of secondary sorts offering,

flue parcels sold high ; otherwise the market was a falling
one, prices receding fully 2s. per quarter. Sales heavy.
Barley was very dull, farmers not being disposed to give
way, but many had to do so at a redostion. Oats also
gave way, while beans were merely nominal. Wheat, 665.

and Liverpool have had rather a depressing effect on our

from abroad moderate and farmer's supplies rather small.

market. Business was brisk, and the /nices were equal to
those of last week. There were 217 sheep and 72 beasts

CHEESE.—SALISBURT MONTHLY MARKET, Nov. 10.
—At this market to-day we were tolerably well supplied
with cheese, though not so heavily as last market.
The cheese pitched was good in quality, but chiefly new.
The attendance of purchasers was not very numerous, and
there did not seem so much animation on the part of those
present to purchase u for some time past, consequently tke
trade on the whole ruled ezceedingly dull and a great
quantity remained undisposed of at the clue of the market.
There was a downward tendency in prices, and dealers had
to submit toe reinction of from 2s. to Ss. per Ron for all
descriptions to effect sales. Skims realised from 265. to Ste. ;
half-skim. 60". to 66e. ; Somerset', 60e. to 701. ; and Ched-
dars from 745. to SU. per cwt.

Tns STAMP ACTL—Two cues were decided by
Mr. Sheriff Bell, in the Small Debt Court, on Friday,
giving. auctioneers an extraordinary immunity from the
provisions of the common statute law. In the tint action,
Mr. Balfour, the extensive furniture dealer, Maxwell-
street, summoned Mr. Joha Morris's, auctioneer, for re-
covery of one penny, which the defender had insisted on
the pursuer paying for • stamp receipt in settling an
account for goods purchased at a public sale, and to which
the latter objected, on the ground that the statute
law declared that the receiver of the money should in all
cases provide the stamp receipt. In answer thereto, Mr.
Monona pleaded that he had made the payment of the
receipt stamp by the buyer a condition of sale, and that in
purchasing the goods Mr. Balfour should be held as concur-
ring in that condition. The sheriff gave judgment for the
defender. The second case was an action raised at the
instance of an auctioneer against a gentleman in town for
payment of an account for a valuation he bad made of the
defender's property. It appeared that the gentleman had
demurred to the fee as too high; and on the case being
called in court, he objected to its being entertained by the
sheriff—in the first place, because the valuation had been
made by the auctioneer's clerk, who was unlicensed ; and
secondly, because the valuation was extended on un-
stamped paper. In support of these pleas, he produced a
letter from the Solicitor of Stamp, stating that on both
these points the suetioneer had acted illegally, and was
liable in the statutory penalties. The sheriff, notwithstand-
log, decided in favour of the pursuer, remitting the account
I to a member of the trade to be taxed —North British

FLOGGING A SOLDIER AT ST. JOHN'S WOOD
BARR/XIS. —On Wednesday afternoon at St. John's
Wood barracks, John Lee, a private in the:first battalion of
Coldstream guards, was brought up from St. George's Bar-
rack's, Charing-cross, to receive his punishment, pursuant
to the sentence of a court martial held on Friday last. It
appeared that on Tuesday last, when returning from guard,
he was addressed by the sergeant on a slight breach of
military discipline, when he used very abusive language,
' and showed other signs of insubordination, so much so that
he was threatened with as arrest. This appeared to be al-
together without the desired effect, for he continued to use
very insolent language, sad eventually he drew his bayonet
and threatened the sergeant with personal violence, but was
eventually controlled and taken into custody. For this of-
fence he was, as stated above, tried by a court-martial, and
sentenced to receive 10 lashes. He was accordingly tied up
and the stated number of lashes Inflicted, which he received
with thinner, namely uttering a cry. At its conclusion he
was heard, it is stated, to express Ms determination to have
his revenge.
