TIIREE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL, YESTERDAY.—Mr. O'Connell ar-
rived here on Saturday afternoon, and left this morn-
ing at eleven o'clock for Manchester. From thence
the Hon. Gentleman proceeds to Stockport, with the
Reformers of which town he clines this evening. Dur-
ring his stay in Liverpool, Mr. O'Connell received
visits from all the distinguished Liberals in this town
and neighbouthood.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
—There has been a good demand for Cotton to-day from
the trade, and the sales are 5,000 bags, with rather a dearer
market than on Friday last, except for Egyptians. The
business consists of 600 Egyptians, 80., 9d., and up to
10-0. 500 Surats, 31(1. a 51d. 700 Maranhams,
9d. 300 Pernams, 9d. a 10d , and the rest American,
from 6d. to 7d. per lb. ; 400 to 500 bags are on speculation.
On Saturday morning, between seven and eight
o'clock; a Polish officer of the name of Nicholas Gorbos-
wiski, residing in Lisle-street, Leicester-square, was disco-
vered lying in one of the plantations on the north side of
the Regent's-park, in great agony, having swallowed a large
portion of laudanum. It appears that he had been out at
a gaming-house, and had lost all his money. He was con-
veyed to the hospital, where, by the aid of the stomach-
pump, the deadly poison was ejected from his stomach, and
hopes are given of his recovery.

An inquest was yesterday holden at the committee
room of the Whitechapel workhouse, before Mr. Baker, the
coroner, on the body of James Hanson, a fine young man,
28 years of age, who had been for many years a coach and
omnibus driver on the Blackwall road. It appeared that
on Saturday, at about eleven o'clock, the deceased, while
walking along High-street, Whitechapel, apparently in the
enjoyment of the most robust health, fell to the pavement,
and was instantly a corpse. A verdict of " Natural death"
was returned.
An agricultural correspondent of the Dublin Free-
man's Journal represents the late harvest in Ireland to have
proved very deficient. In the county of Louth the defi-
ciency is said to be four barrels of wheat per acre. It is
calculated that the whole produce of Ireland will not be
more than sufficient for the consumption of that country.

The petitions for the Ballot have met with a hearty
reception in Lincoln. Nearly a thousand signatures are
already appended to them.—Lincoln Mercury.

We regret exceedingly the good sense of our fellow-
townsmen, and the admonition of the authorities had not
the effect of preventing the mischievous exhibition which
took place on Monday night last. The town for several
hours presented such a scene of riot and confusion as was
very disgraceful.—Monmouth Merlin.
On Thursday evening, about a quarter past seven,
the nursery maid of Mr. Ferer, of Ferer and Co., woollen
manufacturers of Ludgate-hill, met with a serious accident
in St. Paul's Church-yard. She had only left her master's
house an hour before, unknown to the family, in order
to view the illuminations, leaving her master's child in
the arms of a lady who was on a visit to the family. As
she was on her return through St. Paul's churchyard,
the first trumpet was sounding, announcing the order
for the Life Guards to clear the way preparatory to
her Majesty's return ; in obedience to the order the
cavalry made a sudden movement, and, by some un-
accountable accident, the girl was knocked down and
trampled on by one of the horses of the troop. A gentle-
man, an acquaintance of her master's, picked her up, and
upon discovering that her leg was broken, caused her to be
carried by two of the City Police to her master's residence
at the foot of Ludgate-hill, the cavalry clearing the way, and
evincing every sympathy for the unfortunate girl.
STATE OF TRADE.—There was a rather brisker
demand for strong goods on Thursday than has been for
some time, Several of the extensive bleachers in this
neighbourhood have had larger orders during the week than
they could fulfil. We have heard of one very large con-
cern near Bolton which had nine carts and four waggons
employed in bringing goods from Blackburn, on Monday.
We are very glad to learn, that several branches of the
muslin trade show symptoms of revival.& There has not
been much done in counterpanes since last week.—Bolton
Free Press.
As a gratifying proof of the steadiness of the trade
of Greenock, we may mention that although the gross
falling off of the Customs Revenue of Greet Britain
during the past year was 1,793,937/., and for the last
Quarter 917,6611., the total deficiency of the Customs
of this port during the three quarters which have elapsed
of the present year is only 6271.----the revenue being to
the 10th October, 1836, 304,3771., and to the same date
in 1837, 303,7.501. As the deficiency on the general cus-
toms of the country was nearly one-eleventh, had the
Greenock deficiency kept pace with that of the rest of the
kingdom, it would consequently have amounted to from
25,000/. to 30,0001. We are happy to add that the falling
off in Glasgow is also very trifling.—Greenock Advertiser.
