LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WF.DNESDAY.—Tho de-
mand for Cotton continues to be on a moderate scale.
The sales to-day are confined to 2,000 bags, without change
in price.

The Margaret Johnson, arrived this day, spoke the
Great Western steamer to New York on the 3d April, in
lat. 43, long. 31 ; out 101 days ; not half way to New
York.

The accounts received this morning from Manchester
state that the impression there is thz.t the price of cotton
cannot be maintained, and that any extensive purchases of
goods and pm, would be unsafe, though hithertolit has pro-
duced little or no effect upon the Liverpool Cotton Market.
The demand both for yarn and goods was exceedingly li-
mited yesterday, and tha business done was in almost all
cases at !declining prices, and the general feeling in the
market was gloomy in the extreme. We have received
the Journal de Commerce of Antwerp of yesterday's date,
but it does not contaia any news of importance. A grand
review is to take pliCe on the 22d cf this month in the en-
virons of Tibbourg, of the troops stationed in that province,
in honour of the Imperial Prince of Russia, who is to be
present.

REF ORM of the LITURGY.,
JEHOVAH and his SPIRIT.

The objects of a prior revelation from the Father of Light—
the Jews—were quite as familiar with such expressions in their
sacred records, as "Jehovah and his Spirit hath sent him—
Thou sendest forth thy Spirit—Whither shall I flee then
from thy Spirit—The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,"
&c., &c., as Christians can be in theirs. But were the
Jews therefore Twinitarians? Were the people of Jehovah
divided into Unitarians and Twinitarians? Did they suppose
that the Infinite, Eternal Spirit, in whom they believed, and
whom they worshipped, was one person, and his Spirit an-
other?—our snore right-thinking interpretations. Is it not
posit rely childish ?

There is no medicine to whose praise higher and more numerous
testimonials hate been given, than to BLAIR'S GOUT AND
RHEUMATIC PlLLS,—from all parts of the KingdoM, and every
rank in society, their great efficacy is acknowledged. The recent case
of the Chevalier de le Garde, Chamberlain to Stanislaus, late King of
Poland, is one of the mo,t convincing proofs of their great and extra-
ordinary virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev
Doctor Blomberg, of Misperton-Hall, Yorkshire, Chaplain to his late
Majesty, and Rector of Cripplegate, London, who, with, a spirit of the
kindest humanity, volur..ari y gave his testimony to their happy
effects. Cases have fr 'mtiet rtirm been published, as transmitted

Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Head and

ARMING AND Tit AIMNG.

RETURN TO AN ADDRESS OF THE HON. THE
HOUSE OF COMAIMONS, APRIL 3, 1839.
COPY OF A LETTER FROM TILE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE
HOME DEPARTMENT TO THE LORDS LIEUTENANT OF CER-

TAIN COUNTIES, RESPECTING ARMING AND TRAINING.
Whitehall, March 23, 1839

Sin,—llaving been informed that persons have lately
been going about the country, employed either as agents or
on their o%in account, in selling Arms, not in the way of
trade, but with some mischievous intent ; I deem it right
to call your attention to the subject, and I request you to
recommend to any Magistrate in the county of Monmouth,
with whom you may think it advisable to confer, to keep a
watchful eye on such proceedings. I apprehend there can-
not be a doubt that any persons combining to procure arms
for the purpose of resisting the laws, or for the purpose of
committing any act which is deemed by law an offence, are
liable to be prosecuted for a misdemeanour. It is, I con-
ceive, equally clear that any person soiling arms, who ad-
v:ces and induces others to buy them for the purpose of re-
sisting the laws, is also liable to be prosecuted for a mis-
demeanour. Satisfactory proof of such combination, or of
such selling of arms, which of course will be necessary',
will subject the parties to the penalties of the law. I beg
further to observe, with regard to the use of arms, or train-
ing for the purpose of using arms, that if any persons se-
cretly practise training or drilling to the use of arms, they
arc guilty of an offence under the provii:oas of the Training
Act, (60 Geo. 3, c I,) which enacts, that all meetings for
the purpose of training or drilling to the use of arms with-
out lawful authority arc prohibited ; and every person who
shall attend any such meeting for the purpose of training and
drilling, or of being trained or drilled to the use of arms,
shall be liable to he transported and imprisoned. In case
of any such training or drilling, the Magistrates should
take the most prompt and cffective measures for
the apprehension of the offenders. I shall be
desirous of receiving, from time to time, any in-
formation which you may be able to give as to the state
of the county of Monmouth. It is likewise desirable that
Magistrates should endeavour to procure depositions with
respect to any seditious meetings in their neighbourhood
at which any excitements to resist the laws may be ad
dressed to the people.
I have, &c.
( Signed)
C. flanbury Leigh, Esq.
H. M. Lieutenant of the county of Monmouth.

" many were made for one," and their purpose was every
where to degrade the many into being the servants or
the slaves of one or a few. According to them Govern-
ment was framed to preserve the many in slavery; and
by acting on that principle they brought Government
itself into disrepute. The progress of society put an
end to their scheme. As the people acquired know-
ledge it was necessary to defer to them. They could
no longer be ruled except by an appeal to their reason.
The Whig maxim of Government being framed for
the good of the people, became the universal creed,
and then the tyrant Tories turned Conservatives. Con-
servatives of what ? Of the Reform Act. We will
take our stand on that, said their organ, Sir R. PEEL,
and not allow it to be altered. In its progress
they denounced that Act as every thing that
was bad, and, unquestionably, it has not an-
swered the expectations of its framers. In many
points, as to the registration for example, it is admitted
by its authors to b a failure. The Tories, then, have
become conservatives of the errors and abortions of the
Whigs. High-minded politicians, whose greatest boast is
to adopt as their creed the discarded errors of the oppo-
nents whom they decry ! A similar fate has awaited
them from the time of the Revolution. The political
successors of the Jacobitesgradually became the staunch
supporters of the House of Hanover ; and the Tory
party, defeated in 1688, have since become rigidly con-
servative of the chains then imposed on their own ty-
ranny. Their principles have throughout made this their
lot ; and greater degradation we cannot conceive in any
race of boasting politicians than thus to live, as it were
like the worshippers of the Lama, on the dirt of their
opponents.
The degradation, however, is the natural and neces-
sary consequence of their principle. If a set of men
were to unite to preserve in use the ploughs and looms
and ships of each east generation and prevent all change,
and of course all improvement—if they had not the
power to arrest the progress of society, it is clear that

GLIONI.—On the 2d inst. Taglioni appeared
at Vienna for the first time, in the well-known ballet, La
FLIle du Danube. She was received with extreme ap-
plause, though the interest excited by the ballet itself had
much decreased.
The Austrian Government has prohibited the
performance of a ballet called Life, composed by a
well known ballet master of Germany. The first act is
entitled " Birth," the second " Living," and the third
4, Death."

SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, as
John Jameson, Esq., residing at Fulham, was riding along
the King's-road, Chelsea, the horse suddenly stumbled,
and Mr. Jameson was thrown off, and fell with great force
upon his head. lie received a severe concussion of the
brain, and remains in a hopeless state.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Ann Duncan, a very pretty young woman, who sells
purses, &c., in the streets, was charged by Mr. Thomas
Firmer, of 33, Parker-street, Borough, with biting off
his ear and a piece out of his cheek. The complain.
ant, who made most ludicrous lamentations during his
examination, stated that, being influenced by charitable
motives, he took the prisoner into a public-house, and
on hearing from her a tale of woe, which melted his
heart, he clasped her to his bosom, as lie would have
done his own child, when she bit him in the horrible
manner described.

The young woman in her defence said, that although
she was only sixteen years of age she was the wife of
a hawker, and that on going into the public-house, as
she supposed, for the purpose of selling some of her
goods to the complainant, he made dishonourable pro-
posals to her, which she indignantly- repelled ; upon
which he seized her in his arms and most grossly and
disgustingly insulted her, when she bit him, as stated.
The MAGIsTRATa said he could not think of punish-
ing her for retaliating upon the author of such brutal
conduct ; and, after animadverting upon the baseness
of an old man like the complainant acting as he had
done, he discharged the female.

THE WAR 1N CIRCASSIA.

The Commerce contains a letter from St. Peters-
burg of the 12th, with the details of the taking oft he
Circassian fortress of Akulko :—" We have this day
received letters from Tiflis, which give the details of a
great check experienced by the Russians in the war
with the Circassians. General Grabbe (the same to
whom an order has been sent to negotiate a treaty of
peace or an armistice with these mountaineers), having
besieged for three months the fortress of Akulko, which
held out obstinately, and wishing to obtain immediate
ossession cf this place, which he considered to be of
great importance, had sent for a portion of the army of
the Black Sea, consisting of the 20th and 21st divi-
sions of infantry, a large body of cavalry, and four
batteries of artillery, and commenced the as-
sault on the morning of the Ist of September.
After the Russians had been four times repulsed
with loss, the 20th division, which was commanded by
General Galafif f, succeeded in penetrating into the for-.
tress by a breach, and then began a sanguinary combat,
which lasted until half-past eleven at eight, at 41;ich
time the Circassian garrison yielding to superior nutro.:•
bers, fled under cover of the darkness, leaving 5,62 deack,
and 121 wounded, of whom the greater number were
recogni,ed to be deserters from the army of the Black
Sea. The Russians lost in this affair 5,850 men iti
killed and wounded. At the moment whoa the Russian
troops entered the fortress of Akulko, Schamadi, Chief
of the Circassian tribe of the Tenertchenzes, came up
with his cavalry, but, arriving too late to relieve the •
place, he threw himself upon the Russian cavalry,
which he defeated entirely, and took possession cf twelve

the taking of Akulko as a great victory, whereas this
operation has placed General Grabbe under an impos:i-
bility of continuing the war in Circassia until he shall
have received reinforcements, particularly in cavalry."

Charles Parker and Charles Collins were fully com-
mitted for trial for stealing two pairs of boots from the
Shoe Magazine, Skinner-street, Snow-hill.
Mr. Hearden, the proprietor of the establishment,
said that he had had his windows broken and shoes
and boots stolen twenty-ono times in eighteen months.
Between six and seven o'clock he heard the window
break, and his man, running to the door, saw the two
prisoners hastening away with the boots in their posses-
sion ; they were stopped by a policeman, and locked up.
Both prisoners declined making any defence.

Tno Casimir, which left Monte Video on August 00tb,
has arrived at Havre, with advises from Buenos Ayres.
Lamentable details are given of the critical position in
which the French residents are placed, being incessantly
liable to the extravagant caprice, and sanguinary whims
of Rosas. Some intercepted letters had rendered
Rosas furious. He had proclaimed that a new con-
spiracy had been discovered ; twenty-three persons had
been arrested, and several of them ordered to prepare
for death ; one bad actually been shot. General La-
velle, had been for some days in the island of Martin
Garcia, and had issued a proclamation to the Buenos
Ayreans. Several light ships of the French squadrons
were cruising between the island and tl e mainland to
assist in the operations, the result of which would have
a decisive influence on the question between France and
the Argentine Republic.

LORD BROUGHAM.

In accident did befal Lord Brougham and his party
on ;sturdy last, which might have been attended by
very serious consequences, and which we will here re-
late- On the morning in question, his Lordship pro-
eeede din an optea carriage and post horses, hired ter the
Porpe se, from Mr. Sheffield of the George Inn, Penrith,
Hfm , Brougham Hall, with the intention of visiting
e e'ad Castle, a ruin of which his Lordship is on of

Ivest c f Penrith. His Lordship was accompanied
"1,7 Y, Leader, M.P., and Mr. tied Mrs. Shafw.

and tl ,C post-boy was thrown from his seat. The
"frighted animals then off, dragging the broken car-
rkiage t Ster them. Fortunataly the accident was seen
h}
sot ie huzbandmen near the place, who ran and got
hold o Fthe horses, and Lord Brougham and his party
found, tof the carriage unhurt. The postboy, it was
I"ed, was very much injured ; and Mr. Shafto's see-
tant h ad received a bruise on one of his legs, but was
net m uch worse. His Lordship appears to have been
tnaeh vexed by the accident, and immediately sent off
an ex! 'revs to Penrith with the following letter to the
