LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, APRIL 22.

There has been a moderate demand for Cotton throughout the
week, which has been more freely supplied, and the market closes
heavily with a decline of d. per lb. in the middle and lower qua-
lities of American. Egyptian continues very unsaleable. In Brazil
the better qualities of Pernam-and Bahia are calcable at full prices.
Maranham is in very limited demand at former rates. Surat is of-
fered freely, and barely supports former prices. 50 bags of Sea
Island and 400 stained, with 350 Demerara and St. Domingo, and
300 Manilla, offered by auction to-day, were withdrawn, scarcely a
bid being obtained. The sales of the week amount to 15,130 ,bales,
including 750 American on speculation, and 1,000 American, 400
Surat, 15 Madras, and 530 Bengal for export, viz.—

The sales of to-day are 3,000 bags. and the market steady at the
full rates of yesterday. Exporters have taken 50 Surats and 100
American. Many holders have been induced to withdraw a portion
of their cotton from the market, under the idea that the embarrass-
ments now felt in America will interrupt the imports of the season.

The intelligence received last night from New York, as
soon as it became generally known this morning, gave the
greatest satisfaction to commercial men. The promptitude
with which the Bank of the United States and the banks
of New York and Philadelphia came forward to support credit,
which had received so terrible a shock by the advices received
from Liverpool of the 4th of March, is the theme of universal
praise. A large amount of the bonds issued by the American
banks has come into the hands of our merchants, and they
promise to he a favourite description of security. Confidence,
which had been affected by the previous advices from the
United States, showed symptoms of revival, under the belief
that the American merchants would not only be able to meet
all the demands upon them, but even to meet some portion of
those demands by the transmission of specie. In the course
of the day the failure of a house in the American trade was
announced. The house in question sustained, it is under-
stood, serious losses by the importation of cotton about two
years ago—losses which have, doubtlessly, been i ucreased by
the recent failures in New Orleans. The Cotton-market is
steady to-day.
The New York packets arrived at Liverpool bad, it is said,
brought nearly 20,000 sovereigns, on account of Messrs. W.
and T. Brown and Co., of Liverpool.

We regret to say that the glove trade of this city
partakes of that depression which now so generally pervades
the manufacturing interests of the kingdom.— Worcester
Herald.

The provincial and Irish papers received yesterday
morning from all parts of the country complain grievously of
the inclement state of the weather, and the backward condi-
tion of vegetation, which makes the keep of cattle a serious
drawback on the farmer. In many places hay is not to be
had, and there is no grass.
BRAMFORD ►PEKE.—An extraordinary pheno-
menon has just occurred in this parish. During a snow storm
very early on Monday morning, a large quantity of black
worms, each about three quarters of an inch long, fell in the
village and neighbouring fields.— Western Luminary.

The United States Secretary of Legation, Mr.
Theodore Fay, has taken a mansion in George-street, Hanover-
square.

The thermometer, which stood at 60 out of doors on
Thursday morning, sunk six degrees before noon, and, in all,
It degrees in the ensuing 24 hours.
An Irish gentleman being asked whether he meant
to look at the eclipse of the moor, on Thursday evening, re-
plied, " No ; had not I a ticket for the private view yester-
day ?"
An experithent, possessing much interest and im-
portance to the rearers of silk worms, has just been made at
Epinal, by which it appears that the leaves of the scorzenera,
a plant well known h 1 the culinary art, have been used with
much success for feeding those valuable insects.
The Director of the Medical School at Constantino-
ple has been charged with making an attempt to poison the
Sultan. It appears he bad prepared a draught, respecting
which there was some suspicion, and which he was directed to
take himself. Upon his refusal be was put into a sack and
thrown into the Bosphorus. On the examination of the
drink, it was declared to be poisoned. Since this event, the
direction of the imperial medical staff had been confined to the
Seraskier.

For several weeks past a considerable number of
spots have appeared on the sun's disc, some of which were
very large, with a penumbral
ishade around them ; others were
winch smaller, and have beet! n curved or circular groups, and
sometimes arranged in a line nearly straight. There are at
present two or three large ones near the eastern limb, and
others not so large nearer the west, which may easily be seen
with a telescope of small magnifying power, and a coloured
glass to prevent the strong light fro►n injuring the eye.
. Queen Elizabeth on one occasion danced in her 68th
year ; the occasion was a masque at Blackfriars, on the mar-
riageof Lord Herbert and Mrs. Russell. Eight lady dan.
eers.chose eight men to dance the measures. Mrs. Fitton,
who led them, went to the Queen and wooed her to dance.
Agjesty, asked who she was. " Affection," she said.
"-Affection!" said the Queen, " Affection is false."—(At this
tiinorhe and Essex had split.) Yet immediately after the
Queen rose and danced.
