LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—We
have received the Liverpool Cotton Market of yesterday's
date, as follows :—We had few buyers here to-day, and
the Cotton Market has been rather dull. The prices of
American kinds barely supported. The sales were only
2,000 bags-200 Maranhams, Bd. to 81d. per lb. ; 60
Ceras, 81d. to 9d. ; 100 Egyptians, Bid. to 10d. ; 200
Surats, 4-id. to .51d., mostly for export ; and the rest Ame-
rican—the bulk at 6d. to 7d. per lb.
The Reformers of IVlarylebone are about to comme-
morate the triumph of independence in that borough by
entertaining their popular representative, Mr. Hall, at a
public dinner, at the Chalk-farm Tavern, to-morrow, the
27th inst. That veteran Reformer, .T. E. Hovenden, Esq.,
has consented to preside on the occasion.
Two partridges have been shot at Alston, in the
neighbourhood of Preston, perfectly white, not a coloured
feather being found on either bird. On the same estate
two others of exactly similar plumage have also been seen.
We believe it is now visible to the world that Mr.
Assheton Smith, of Vaenol, considers the Borough and
Corporation of Carnarvon as under his exclusive patronage,
and the Member for the Boroughs as his nominee ; and
we believe that he would be bitterly disappointed if the
County Member was to consider himself in the light of any
thing else than a Vaenol nominee, as he parades him in
that character in season and out of season, and that not
in the most decorous manner, or lie would have had more
decency than to have fixed the Sabbath as the day, and the
Vestry of the Cathedral as the place, in which to hold with
the Lord Bishop of this diocese a political meeting. We
merely mention this en passant, because the thing did take
place, and because it is an answer to the assertion that the
Bishop never interferes in politics.—Carnarvon Herold.
A corn-chandler at Oxford has adopted the long-
, wished-for plan of announcing a competition in the sale of
the first necessaries of life. The following are the prices
he now advertises them at, which the London consumers of
bread corn will see differ widely from those which they pity

Brown flour ... 4 d. per quartern.
Good family ditto 5l
The very best
Good household bread 5,1-d the 41b. loaf.
Excellent seconds flour 40s. per sack.
POLITICAL GAMNS.—A public dinner was given
last week at Thetford, to celebrate the return of Messrs.
Bagge and Chute fur West Norfolk, when of course the
note of triumph at the recent victory was sounded loud and
long. Colonel Rushbrooke, the Member for West Suffolk,
grew sportive on the subject, " Not in this county alone,"
said he, " but in those of Essex and Suffolk, the Conser-
vative party have been playing the game of All ?ours, with
the most complete success—(Cheers)—while their adver-
saries have been somewhat less prosperously
engaged in
another old-fashioned game, called Beggar my Arei9hbour—
(Laughter)—a game which win, I trust, from its utter
hopelessness, soon become obsolete." Of course the Colonel
treats all the Ministers as knaves, but it seems likely they
will prove trumps, for it is evident they have no intention
of cutting, unless when Parlkment meets the turn-up is
against them. •
