MARKETS.

COTTON.—LirEstPunt, ALGIST 3.—We have had a rather
quieter market to-day, and with more dl .Rion to sell prices
are Irregular and somewhat easier. The sales are 3,000 haler, of
which 2,0u0 are for export sod speculation.

COTTON 0000 .—M A/WRESTS:R. grocer 3.—The market
for cloths and yarns during the past week hsts been Onto( un-
relieved dulness. The demand fur India has been small, and
the buyers for the home trade continue to operate only on a
limited scale. Ibe tendency of prices has been downward, but
still cotton hat only given way about per lb. during the
month, and cotton goods, though fully ea much lower, do not
attract business. The quantity of cotton do Liverpool Is rather
under the stock at this time last year, but 100.000 bales are doe
from India, and another 100,000 balm are due about the oth in-
slant, so that there le little temptation to speculation. The
quantity of yarns and cloths produced is clearly in excess of the
demand, and spinners and manufacturers will have to reduce
the supply by resorting to short time or by throwing machinery
out of use. The demand for all quarters Is on a limited scale,
and there is no prospect at present of an improvement for any
market which holds out a hope of an Increased and healthy
business.

WOOLLE.N.-4ALDS, A cousT s.—There has been an Improve-
ment In the attendairc of buyers In the cloth halls this morn-
ing, and the amount of hualness transacted has been upon the
increase. A few representatives of Manchester and Scotch
houses have been present, along with the usual appearance of
Leeds merchants, and although they have not shown an inclina-
tion to speculate to a Large taunt, their puri hams have, Dover-
Useless, been upon a more estemive scale than of late. There
has been a tolerahly good business done in better close tweeds,
chiefly in Angola and all-wool warps, which are at present in
good demand, and form the main attraction In this market. A
e• parcels of check coatings have also changed hands, the pat-
terns mostly in request being of a small and broken description.
Heirlists In the white hall have varied hat little, a few parcels of
medium qualities have been transferred, but the Inquiries for
better clam goods have not been very numerous. In the heavier
fabrics beavers have held the best position, plain and fancy
colours being In request. A few transactions have also taken
place in witnos, but not to a large amount. Prices remain with-
out any perceptible alteration.

WOOL AND WORSTElL—Biinernatf, Mincer S.—There has
been only a very limited business done in wool during the past
week. Apprehension of conrniestal war caused some degree of
gloom at the beginning of the week, and caused great flatness in
the wool market ; but this fear subsided as the week atleanced,
and there was more disposit ma to operate, although the amount
of business done was only very small in the aLgregate. There
is • general Impression that quotations have reached the lowest
point, and holders arc quite content to hold their limited stocks.
Buyers have consequently had to pay fully last week's rates, and
in some cases a slight advance. Bright haired sorts continue
most in demand, while inferior sorts are still neglected. There
is no improvement in the worsted yarn branch. The shipping
merchants are very slow in their operations, and do a very re-
stricted ho Mese A slight business has been done mostly In
lustre yarns, jeuappes, and 40's for Russia. Coloured and other
fLds
r:esre , spun fur home use, e also rather more in demand.
are still depressed, with a softening tendency In ensue
sorts. The market for goods continues equally torpid. The best
department le that connected with the supply of home wants.
There is steady but slow business dome 111 the borne warehouses
—merchants buying chiefly to assort stocks. But there Is little
or nothing doing either for continental or American account.
Moat manufacturers continue partially employed on old con-
tracts. Yrkes are quite u low as they have been.

HARDWARE..-Bleidmonsg, Avocet 3.—The trade of this
town continues dull. The factors report that their travellers
experience considerable diglculty In getting In mosey, but for
that circumstance the tendency of the home trade would be In
the direction of Improvement. lu tie foreign department nut
Dutch change has occurred of late. There are town In town
with orders for heavy goods for Italy. The Dreadful trade is

is slowly reviving, so fez u relates to hardware goods.

temperature. The corn crops have consequently ripened slowly,
and the harvest Is not likely to be general before the 19th Inst.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN ODDFELLOWS' TREASURER.
—At the Shropshire assizes, on Saturdey Joseph Lee,
late treasurer of the William Watkins Lodge, in the
Shrewsbury district of the Manchester Unity of Odd-
fellows. was indicted on numerous charges of forgery, em-
bezzlement, and obtaining money under false pretences.
The embezzlements consisted of appropriating to his can
use moneys which. as treasurer, he had drawn out of the
lodge's funds, with the alleged purpose of discharging its
liabilities ;_ the forgeries were committed partly to corer
these frauds, and, en two instances, to obtain payments(
cheques; and the money obtained under false pretences
was a sum of W., drawn by the prisoner from the trusties
of the lodge, under the pretence that it was needed for
current expenses. The prisoner, who seemed to feel his
peeition very acutely, pleaded not ptlty on being ar-
raigned, but subsequently withdrew his plea and pleMed
guilty to all the charges except those of forgery. These
were then withdrawn by the counsel for the prosecution,
and the prisoner was sentenced to 16 months' imprison.
went. Several witnesses were called who had known the
prisoner for more than twenty years, and who pre him it
high character as " a sober, honest, and industrious man;"
and, in passing sentence, Mr. Justice Mellor said this cir-
cumstance had inclined him to inflict so slight a punish-
ment.

WOOLWICH, A cra•or 4.--A large number of
men have been induced by the increased pay in the anti)
to re-enlist for a second period of service. At the police-
court upwards of 20 are daily attested, these being chietly
pensioner, and discharged men who have for the mat
part obtained good conduct badges, and will, in midi•
Hon to their augmented pay, receive a second bounty.
Some two months since, a gunner of the Royal Arta-
lery stationed at this garrison made a formal and circum-
stantial confeisiou of a murder committed by him at New
York about four years ago. The man was kept a primer
at the barracks until last week, when an announcement
was received from the Secretary of State, that no further
proceedings would be taken against hint, as after muting
inquiries the representative of the American government
in this country bad declined to prosecute. The self•
accused murderer has, therefore, been set at liberty, and
has returned to his duty in the regiment.
