LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FP :B. 4.

We continue to have a very flat market, and a great desire to sell
the new import of American cottons, which are being forced off at
a further reduction of Vtd. to rd., being a decline of ld. per lb.,
within the last three weeks. All other kinds are heavy of sale, last
week's rates not being obtainable within %d. to '%d. per lb. Ba-
hias are nominal and much neglected ; and in East India there is
less doing. Exporters have taken 150 Bengal and 50 Surat;
6,000 Americam, 800 Pernambuco, Egyptian, 200 Bahia, 200
Surat, and 60 Maranhams were forwarded into the country last month
unsold, being chiefly imported on consumers' account. The im-
port this week is 16,162 bags. The sales are—

AMERICAN WORKMEN.—" In America, not only
the master mechanic, but also his journeymen, have the means
of earning more than is required for a mere living ; they are
able to procure for themselves comforts which would hardly
enter the imagination of similar orders in Europe. They are
enabled to command a portion of their time ; and their minds
being free from the anxieties of a precarious life, and less vi-
tiated by a desire of frivolous pleasure, are better qualified for
study or improvement, the only sure means by which they can
hope to better their condition."—Grund's Americans, in their
Social, Moral, and Political Condition.
Extract of a letter, dated Barcelona, Dec. 30,
1836 :—" Before this reaches, you will probably have heard
of the death of General Mina, which took place on the 25tk
inst. As soon as this melancholy event became known it cast
a gloom over all. Half-hour guns were fired by a Spanish
corvette lying here until the interment. The crowd to see it
was immense, but everything was conducted in the best pos-
sible order. The funeral procession passed through a line of
soldiers drawn up on either side of all the principal streets;
the British ships-of-war, Rodney and Childers, fired minute-
guns from the time the corpse left the Palace until all was
over, which lasted nearly four hours. It was a very cold day,
bnt, thanks to the churchmen, I had to carry a wax flambeau,
which, with those before and behind me, kept me from
freezing. (The snow is now on the ground with lots of ice.)
The funeral was attended by all our naval officers that could
be spared, in full dress ; also the officers of the French and
American ships-of-war. Capt. Parker was one of the pall-
bmrers."

ROOMS expressly for the display of a large assortment of superior
SILVER-EDGED PLATED GOODS. He offers them at those
low but fixed prices, which have been so successful in drawing public
attention to the WATCH, JEWELLERY, SILVER SPOON
and FORK and Silver branches of his trade. N.B. A pamphlet,

Watches, Clocks, &c., may be had gratis, or will be forwarded in
