•UILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Henry Bartlett, a lad, was placed at the bar, charged
with cruelty to a horse.
Thomas Gibbons stated that he was a constable in
the employ of the Animals' Friend Society. He was in
Smithfield yesterday afternoon, and saw the prisoner
whip a horse about the legs to make him kick, and
them unnecessarily and cruelly beat. him about the hem
with the butt end of his whip.
The prisoner si,id the horse was an exceedingly
vicious one, for which reason he had brought it to
the market to sell it. It had just previously kicked
down a person who was passing by, and he flogged it on
the heels to prevent its kicking.
The father of the young man corroborated this state-
ment.

Mr. Alderman WHITE—It would be much more sa-
tis'actory in all these cases to have the testimony o'
another witness, besides that of the paid officer of the
society. The case is dismissed.

A 1 ON '4, ,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The de-
mand has been very moderate throughout the
w(ek, with a heavy market for all kinds.
The new crop of American has been offered
very freely, and sales of good fair to fine, made at
decline of fully d. per lb., fair and middling qualities
arc about Id. lower, common qualities less influenced ;
Brazil and Egyptian rather better to buy, and India is
decidedly heavy of sale at our last quotations. The
sales to-day are 3,500 bags of all kinds, without any
apperrance of improvement in the market. Speculators
have taken 1,500 bales of American, and exporters 600
hales of American and 100 bales of Surat.

We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to September
22. The following are extracts :

" The present posture of affairs in this country is one
of intense interest, and we may look every day for in-
teiligence of importance, either as regards the opera,
dons of the Argentine army in the Oriental terri-
tory, or of the incursion of Don Juan Lavalle and
his adherents into the province of Ent,e Rios ; in
the meantime the most perfeet tranquillity reign,
in the capital and all the districts of the provnice ;
,nd indeed there is no excep! ion to the general on,:is-
turbed state of the whole Republic, hut the incursion
alluded to. Our Monte Videan neighbours are ino far
less enviable situation ; that town, being now as it were
in a state of siege, a great portion of the foreign popula-
tion, such as Spaniards, Bisques, have b,•en ob.
iiged to take up arms ; but the British Coosul-tht-
neral has given notice to his countrymen that he wili
resist any attempt forcibly to enrol them under the ban-
ner of any of the conflicting parties."
The following notice appeared in the Monte Video
Journal, of 17th October :

" Whereas various British subjects residing in tho
interior of the republic have, whilst following their
peaceable occupation of industry, been torn from their
families and homes, by officers in command of arme,i
men, acting under official authority, and who, through
violence and force, have been compelled to take arms in
the military service of the state ; and whereas, these
.Icts of forcible imprisonment are not less offensive to
the dignity of the laws, and of this country, and the
harmony which exists between it and Great Britain,
than they are flagrantly an abuse of the persons of her
Majesty's subjects :
" This is to give notice that allßritish subjects within
the territory of this Republic are hereby strictly re-
quired and enjoined to remain at home, to refrain from
mixing themselves with or interfering in the present
political affairs of this country—to refuse positively and
peremptorily to take arms on either side, but where
force may prevail over justice and the law ; then arc
prsons invited and required to forward to this Consu-
late a written state of the case, consisting of names and
persons taken by force.

" H. M. Consul-General.
"British Consulate, Monte Viedo, Sept. 11."

We have several arrivals this morning, but the one of
most importance is that from Mexico, by the Express
packet, with a freight of 500,000 dollars on board for
merchants' account.

The accounts received from the Brazils by the
Opossum packet state that all was tranquil there.
Exchange, 32.
The Lisbon mail still continues due.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday at the commence-
ment of business were not well supported, but towards
the end bills were more plentiful to meet the demand,
and the rates rather improved.

COFFEE.—Prices have followed the fluctuations in
the Exchange, and are to-day firm, and about 150 to
200 rs. higher than last week. Taere is a continued
steady demand for all descriptions : the sahs to-day
exceed 5,000, and those during the month 60,00 Q bags.
Tile stock on hand is only 3,000 bags i the arrivals,
owing to thelprevailing wet weather, have been consider-
ably smaller than they were last month.
P.S. SATURDAY, OCT. ] 9.—Exchange—Not much
doing ; it opened this morning rather flat at 321, and
left off at 82. Coffee very firm ; sales this morning
4,000 bags at full prices, almost no stock remaining in
sand. Shipments this month, to-day included, 61,591
bags. Nothing new in other articles.

A son of Sir John Guest is, we ithderstand,
ro be brought forward cal the Liberal interest for
Falmouth. The wealth of his family, and their con
nexion with the mines and furnaces of Wales, with
which, and the mining interests of Cornwall, there
is a close connexion, will make him a very accept-
aide representative to the inhabitants of that part of
Cornwall, and there is, we believe, no doubt of
success. hip

The recent alterations in the
Post-office con-
tinue to work well.
There has been every day
since the change till yesterday a successive increase
—the letters on one day exceeding
preceding day—in the penny and pre-paid letters.
The whole system, too, so far as it has been carried
into effect, has worked so easily, and so m those on the
any ad-
vantages are expected to accrue from the penny
postage, that the reduction to the universal
penny rate will, we believe, take place sooner than
was at first intended. More loss, we understand,
than was expected, has accrued on the colonial post-
age, in which no increase of letters can yet take
place to compensate for the reduction of the rates.
On the whole, we can „y that the changes work
better than was anticipated, though the pub-
lic, we understand, suffer some inco .
by the want of letter-weighers, Whi nvenience
ch MAGI be
made so fast as they are required.
The people at
the Post-office can already wQich
