CARLOW ELECTION COMMITTEE

(THIS DAY.)

The Committee were again occupied all the morning with
the vote of Moorhead, whic has now taken nearly three days,
though simply a question of loss of qualification, through occa-
sional change of residence.
. .

At half-past one the Committee decided that the vote vas a
bad one.

Mr. Bruin having had only a majority of three, this decision
reduced it to two.

The Committee then adjourned till Eleven o'Clock on
Monday.

CITY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY7WELVE O'CLOCK.
Arrivals this morning ;—French mail, ship letters fro m
Teneriff, Bombay, and Batavia.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The transac-
tions continue to be upon a moderate scale, dependent en-
tirely upon the absolute necessity of the consumer, who is
yet, from the depressed state of trade, and the consequent
decreased production of yarn, compelled. to buy as sparingly
as possible; nevertheless our market, under these circum-
stances, is comparatively firm for American descriptions,
and has not yielded further in price worth notice. The
Egyptian low sales continue to be made, and Brazils are
rather easier. The public sale of India to-day was a com-
plete failure—out of 3,774 bales of Surat and 276 bales of
Bengal offered, only 65 bales found buyers at sicl. to 61,
being a reduction of id. per lb. on previous rates for Surat.
Spedulators have taken 500 bales of American, and 120
Egyptian, and exporters 750 bales. The sales to-day are
2,000 bags of all kinds. _ -

In the course of yesterday afternoon a considerable sale
of 31 per Cents. took place, supposed about 200,0091.,
which had the effect to damp the market. Money was
also in demand at the Stock Exchange. . The Britiih
