COTTON.—There have been no considerable sales in Cottons
in London since this day week, at least few have publicly trim.
spired ; the accounts front Liverpool, which we insert, state a very
great fall in the prices in that market, and a general panic among
the holders; the quotations here most be considered entirely
nominal. The sales in London last week that have transpired are

LIVE a Poo t., JUNE 18.-Our Cotton market has been very de-
pressed throughout the week; in the early part of it rental Of the
holders, by. forcing off notate parcels of Egyptian and Brazil much
below the nominal prices of the day, caused considerable alarm.
Several large sales were declared for yesterday, which were antici.
rated wi h an unusual degree of interest, and were very numerously
attended by the dealers and spinners ; they went off heavily, at a
decline of island lid. from the previous nominal prices; of 6700
hags offered, there were sold-1045 Orleans I3id. a (fold. for ordi-
nary to good, 1170 Mobile and Alabama I3d. a 111 d.. 431 Bowed
13d. a 15d., 95 I/nun-are 154 • 16d., 50 Barbadoes 14d. a 14/d.
10 Egyptian 154c1., and 18 inferior Pernambuco 181 d. The reduc.
tion in the prices front our last quotations is 3d. per lb. in American,
and Id. in Brazil and Egyptian descriptions. The piles by private
contract consist of 118 Bowed 15/d. a 17/d.; 222 Orleans 15e1,
19Ad.; 40 Alabama and Tennessee 1444. a 16d.; 25 Sea bland

Making a total, including those sold by auction, of 4900 bags. The
arrivals are 12.538 bags.
COFFEE.-There were considerable public sales of Con'te
brought forward last week ; the whole went off freely, but without
briskness ; the Jamaica descriptions sold at an advance of about 2s.
per cwt.; all other qualities were unveiled. A large parcel of St.
Domingo, 1,200 bags good ordinary pale, were withdrawn from
public sale at 621. f.l. and 635. ; we believe 61s. was offered. There
were two public sales this forenoon, 175 casks Jamaica 90 bap St.
Domingo ; the latter, good ordinary, were taken in at 625. 6d. : the
Jamaica went off steadily at' previous prices; good middling
9-la. Gd. and 955., good middling dingy 925., middling 81s. 6d.,
good ordinary 665. and 664. 6d. The Coffee market is without
briskness; there is no alteration whatever to be noticed in the
prices. At a late hour, a private contract of 1200 bags, good ordi-
nary pale St. Domingo, transpired ; the price 625. 6d. and 635.
SUOAR.-The demand for illuscovades last week was very li.
naked, the buyess only purchasing for their immediate wants;
there was more business effected at the closing of tht Market en
Friday than on any previous day ; there was rot any variation in
the currency. The buyers were early at market this morning, in
the anticipation of extensive supplies of new Sugars, and also cal.
culating they would purchase on lower terms, on account of the
accumulation of stock compared with the quantity of last year:
the show of new was considerable, but not so extensive as what
had been anticipated. The sales of Muscovades to-day are estimated
at 1.000 hhds. ; there is not the slightest variation in the prices :
some line Jamaica sold at 71e. The Barbadoes sale wenttoff at steady
Inlets, but without briskness ; 151 casks. bls. 641. for brown, tip
to 695. for middling white. The refined market was very heavy
last week, and a general reduction of Is. per cwt. war submitted to.
-Molasses were 275. 6d-The refined market is again very heavy

cilitatir.g sales ; Lumps 86s. Molasses 275. There was mach in-
quiry for Foreign Sugars by private contract laid week, but few
purchases were reported ; fine white Havannah 535. fid. and 515.;
yellow 39a. fly public sale on Friday. 315 bags Siam and 600
bags Bengal were offered, but the whole were taken in; the full
market prices were offered, but refused by the seller.
FRUIT.-The brisk demand for new red Smyrna Raisins fir
exportation Its rather subsided, the ho!ders hsvitig advanced their
prices Is. to 2s. above the buyers' lihnts. In the other descriptions
there is nothing doing.
SILK.-The quotation,' are amnion!, on account of the coin-
mencement of the side yesterday at the India House. The China
silks are selling 25 to 30 per cent. under the last sale prices.
TEA-There is no alteration in the prices of Tea since the
conclusion of the India-Howse sale.

OILS.--The prices of oil areunvaried, but the market is sa

NAVAL STORES.—ltrugh Turpentine and Spirits are both
heavy, and rather lower. Tar, Pitch, and Eosin, remain at the
late nominal prices.

per ton. _ .

IMPS.—The accounts from the Hop districts continue to state,
that the fine weather losses yet no favourable effect on the Hops, en
account chiefly of the continuance of an easterly wind. The new
fly increases and follows the count; shoots: the duty is still at t 3
53.000/. ; two weeks more will enable us to give a correct account
at the prospects of the season ; it is. however. to be observed, that
we have had heavy showers within the liar twenty-four hours, and
apparently atended.with thunder, which may yet give a fa rourab:e
turn to the Hops.
SPICES.—In consequence of the contemplated reduction in the
duty on Pepper, front 2s. fid. to 1.. per lb there has been great
aueeulatiop, aid the prices advanced about Id. per lb ; light front

A SCOTTISH FARMER.-011 TIICWIIIy last Mr. William
L're, farmer, Foregathering mill, in the parish of Houston, died
after • few days' illness, in the ninety-fifth year of his age. lie
was born and spent his whole life, and was the oldest man, in the
pariah. His journeys were always bounded by Greenock on the
'one side and Glasgow on the other. He never slept above a night
at a time out of his own house, except on one occasion, when he was
persuaded to go as far as Edinburgh to sec a daughter, who was
housekeeper to a gentleman in that city. His reading was confined
exclusively to the Scriptures and religious works; and having an
excellent memory, he could repeat considerable portions of sermors
he had heard in his youth. He had a fund of amusing anecdotes.
which he was fond of relating with all the complacent garrulity of
age, and his style of conversation was the more attractive from a
happy use of peculiar Scottish phrases, now very little used except
by the old. lie was very industrious, temperate, aced regular in his
habits, an entire stranger to disease of every sort ; be never com-
plained of even a head-ache in his life. lie enjoyed an unusual
buoyancy of spirits, and two years age he walked with the speed
anti gait of a man of forty. lie continued to work about the farm
till be became bettrid ; and he enjoyed his recollection, hearing, and
sight unimpaired. He was a pious, sober, industrious, and re-
spectsble man —a genuine old Scottish farmer.—Glasgow Chrosi.k.
