Our Cotton market this day was dull, very little demand, entire-
qualify price% may be said to be nominal. The market at :Ilan'.
cheater yesterday was very dull, and prices very low ; the spinners
cannot get the prices for the manufactured article up. in any pro-
portion with that of the raw material. A lot of Twist was sold at
Id. per lb. len than the cotton coat.

Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Coun-
cil was hell at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. which
was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. The Cabinet
sat iu deliberation till about half-past four o'clock.
We have received a file of the Sierra Leone Royal Ga-
zette. from the Pith March to the 24th April. It appears
by a list of merchant vessels, and their burthen (detailed
in the Sierra Leone Gazette of 231 April), that the amount
of invoices of merchandise imported by each, and upon
which duties have been paid at the Port of Freetown,
Sierra Leone, from the Ist of January to 31st December,
lte2t, was 80,9171. Me. rid. The same Gazette also con-
tains a return of exports from the colony of Sierra Leone,
for the ;year commencing Ist January, and ending Slit
Deeembett, 1824. By these returns it appears that the
trade of the colony was rapidly increasing, especially in the
articles of gold and timber. The Gazette of the eSil April
says—," We have learnt by one of the late arrivals, that
the Commissariat upon the Gold Coast is to be separated
from any connexion with the department here, and placed
unib r the direction of an Assistant Commissary-General,
who hes left England direct for Cape Coast."
The Lirerpool Courier of IVednesday thus notices the
arrival of the American Ambassador :—" On Sunday last
his Excellency Mr. Rufus King, Ambassador from the
Cabinet of Washington to the Court of St. James's, ar-
rived at this port, in' he packet-ship. Pacific, Captain Solo-
mon Maxwell, after a passage of twenty-five days from
New York. He is accompanied by his son, Mr.dllohn A.
King, as Secretary of Legation, and the other members of
his family and suite. Ile landed on the Prince's-pier
:bout six o'clock in the evening, and was loudly and en-
thusiastically cheered by the ass, raided crowd. Mr. King
is a venerable-looking old gentle nan, rather bent with
sl7e, but possessing a very intelligent countenance. Ile was
Secretary under General Washington. We understand
that a Deputation from the American Chamber of Com-
ieeree waited on Mr. King on Monday, to solicit the honour
of his company to dine with the Members of the Associa-
tion ; but we are sorry to learn, that, owing to indisposi-
tion from the voyage, 'Air. King was unable to accept of the
invitation. The same cause has prevented him from ac-
cepting the personal invitation of the Mayor, to dine with
his Worship and a select party in the Town-hall."
The Right Hon. Sir J. Newport, Bart. has arrived at
his seat, Newpark, near Waterford.
STEAM BOAT EXTLOFION,—Y(StCT(I9,y morning, a little
before six o'clock, the boiler of the stestn-boat Legislature,
burst with a most tremendous explosion, just as it was
purhing from the wharf to proceed to New Brunswick.
several of the crew were killed, and many burnt and
emitted severely. A young lady, on seeing tile confusion,
jumped overboard, but was providentially 'encl.—Neu.
York Pam. of *June 3.
'f he Amethyst, Capt. Bussey, which arrived at Liver-
pedl on Monay has made two very quick passages in
euceession--one hence to Boston in 23 days ; and another
from that city to Liverpool in 18.
COELTINMAII, Jvve 29.—Last evening, Mr. Judge,
the Editor of the Cheltenham Journal, received another
horse-whipping. The incensed person was Mr. S. Y. Grif-
fith ; and the matter of provocation was Mr. Judge's ani-
madvert:ion, in his last paper, on a letter written by S. Y.
4i-ditch, and which appeared in the Courier last week. The!
purport of the letter iu question was to rectify a mistake
which the Courier had made when speaking of the im-
pending trial of " Juthee r. Berkeley and others." The
eeene of action was at the Theatre, where Mr. and Mrs.
Judge were come to see Macready in Virginia. Just as
they -lad seated themselves comfortably, and spread their
play-bill before them, Mr. J. was called out, by the insti-1
getion of Mr. Griffith, who, being provided with two
horsewhips, was waiting outside the box-door. Mr. Judge
no sooner appeared, than Mr. Griffith offered him one id
the whips; and on Mr. Judge's declining the favour, Mr.
Griffith commenced his application of one of the whips
over the shoulders and posteriors of Mr. Judge, which the
persecuted Editor bore with Christian-like fortitude. _

A meeting was held at Brighton, on Friday, J.
Crippa, Esq. in the chair, when it was resolved to esta-1
blish a Mechanics' Institution in that town. The Chair-
man, in acknowledging a vote of thanks, said that he would
prtsent the Institution with his valuable collection of mi.
ntrals, fossils, &c. estimated at 1000 guineas, together with
a collection of Botanical varieties, and a collection of books
on the above !subjects. It was announced that Dr. King
Lad consented to lecture gratuitously on Algebra, Mr.
Paillips op Botany, Mr. Masquerier on several branches of
tiw Arts and Sciences, and Dr. Martin on Chymistry.

tat,xs, o (mull of people! They fought at seven and a
