L IVERPOOL, FRIDAY.--_Off port, inward, Europe packet,
rrom New York, 19th ult.

COTTON MARKET. —The demand continues moderate,
and the trade are still disinclined to purchase freely, yet
upon American descriptions no impression has been made,
prices being much the same as at the close of last week.
Brazil have offered more freely and are selling at a decline of
d to Id per lb. ; Surats are also not quite so steady in price ;
Eg) ptian without change ; Sea Islands, from the large busi-'
ness during the week, cannot not be bought under an advance
of Id. to 2d. per cent. Speculators have taken 6,500
bales of American, and 4.50 Carthagena. The market
closes flat; sales, 3,500 bags of all kinds, 1,200 on specu-
lation.

Singapore papers received to the 4th October :
Our private advices from Batavia are to the 22d ult., the
market for British cotton manufactures was much de-
pressed. The John o'Gaunt and Malcolm, from Liver-
' pool, and Dumfries, from the Clyde, arrived about the
same time, with considerable supplies, and sales were very
difficult to effect, except at very low rates. The Produce
Market was very firm, Coffee had been sold at 28f. ;
Sugar continued in good demand at Batavia, 12f. to 15f.
Exchange Bills on London, six months, were in demand.

CHlNA.—Since our last the Bengal packet has come in
from China, to the 11th of September, putting us in pos-
session of the Canton Register of the 14th, 21st, and 28th
August, and the Canton Press of the Ist September. The
deliveries of opium, although proceeding freely, had not
been so brisk as during the previous month, and the market
exposed to considerable fluctuation, from the state of the
river trade, which most of the smuggling schooners had
abandoned, owing to the search they weresubject to. Opium,
however, did nevertheless find its way into the market,
the Manderin boats having become the carriers. The
Canton market had shown a great deal of activity, and ex-
tensive sales of the Bombay staple had been effected.

The Canton Press contwainsa statement of the terms on
which the claims of foreign creditors on the Hongtae had
been adjusted ; the creditors are not, however, unanimous
in the arrangement, several withholding their conset.
By the arrival of the Fingal packet cvo have advices
from Manilla to the 14th August. The market was still
dull for British imports, but had improved a little, and
some considerable sales of grey and white shirtings had
been effected. _ _

London, England, 1839-11-14

We have received this morning Brussels and
German papers of the latest dates. The Swabian
Mercuryinforms us that the King of the BELGIANS
was leading a most ietired life at Wiesbaden. His
MAJESTY had received and returned a visit from
the Duke of NASSAU, and this was the amount of
the gossip in circulation concerning the sayings and
doings of King LEOPOLD. Wiesbaden was
crowded with English families, who proposed pass-
ing the winter there.
A Brussels Government Paper states that the
late domiciliary visits were justified by important
disclosures of a treasonable nature made to the au-
thorities, the whole of which it trusts to be shortly
able to make public. It appears that the late riots
at Ghent were the premature outbreak of an ex-
tensive and well organised conspiracy, which but
for the fears or the treachery of some of the
agents, might have shaken the newly established
throne of Belgium. The proceedings against the
rioters at Ghent were going on with great activity
on the Bth inst. Bail had been offered to any
amount for some of the prisoners, and refused. We
subjoin what additional news there is iu the Brus-
sels and German Papers :
The Dutch and Belgian Commissioner at Maestricht,
has just agreed on a tariff of transit and other duties, on
the roads and canals in both parts of Limburg. The
Dutch Government has just fixed on Reremonde and
Stevenswaert in the ceded part of Limburg, as military
stations. Those places arc, therefore, to be fortified, and
to have a permanent garrison.

ARRIVALS.

Came into harbour the Wanderer schooner yacht, the
property of Mr. Neil. This gentleman's new yacht
" Louisa" will not be launched till next spring tides.
13tIL—The Kestrel, Lord Yarborough, from the
westward.

The Royal Yacht Squadron House, according to th
Portsmouth Telegraph, is to be done away with here,
and a new and more splendid one is to be built at
Norris ! What next ? Why, Cowes harbour is to be
removed to Norris, to flow round the Castle and em-
bellish its beautiful Park !! One story is quite as pro-
bable as the other ; though we beg to say, on authority,
that the Members have not yet been consulted on either.
So much for the Telegraph's veracity, but it is of a
piece with all its Royal Yacht Squadron news. One is
almost led to believe that the writer's object is ridicule.
Sir John Rennie's pion for the improvement of Cowes
harbour, &c. is to be carried into execution too! ! That
is after the river is removed to Norris. The canal will
be cut to Newport.

The inhabitants of Cowes and Newport are at issue
on the proposed improvement in Newport river. At
the public meeting at Newport, on Wednesday last,
none of the inhabitants of Cowes attended, as they
considered that the shipping and yachts entering
other ports were likely to he taxed for the improve-
ment of Newport. The corporation of tha latter town
call themselves the conservators of the river and harbour
of Cowes, and have within a few years appointed a
person as harbour-master, who levies a toll for harbour
dues on all vessels coming into it, (or even into the roads
if they discharge any part of their cargoes), not one
shilling of the sum collected is laid out about the. har-
bour, all going to the corporation of Neorpert; •tvha
farther will not allow the inhabitants of Cowes to build
out any quays, or even stick a post in the mud of the
harbour, though the land was purchased and paid for
by the present occupiers of the adjoining lands, or their
forefathers, and the right enjoyed till the passing of the
Reform "BM, when 'our Tory friends persuaded us the
land was not ours but theirs, for acknowledging which,
we were all to become burgesses of the borough of New-
port, and to have the honour of voting for 'rory Mem-
bers to represent the Borough, and Tory Councillors to
conduct their municipal affairs ; so we did not sell our
birthrights for nothing, i. c. to the Corporation, but now
notice is given of an application being to be made to
Parliament next Session for an Act which will place us
under a company—under the Corporation, and in the
opposition preparing against the one, we hope to get
also out of the hands of the other. The union of the
two towns is an unnatural one—one being a seaport,
the other an inland town ; their interests arc directly
opposed, and the inhabitants never will be on a friendly
footing while this connection exists. It is absurd
to say that the inhabitants of Cowes ought to control
the electors of Newport, in their choice of Councillors,
&c. for their Borough, or that Newport people should
be masters of Cowes harbour, and of all the lands in
Cowes, the waters of the Medina ever flowed over.

Hon. the Earl of Yarborough, for a cruise to the east-
ward. His Lordship had but recently returned from a
two months' cruise in his yacht to Gibraltar and the
Mediterranean, and it was expected that the Commo-
dore would have struck his flag, and laid the Kestrel up
for the season, but he was so much pleased with her
sailing qualities that he determined on having another
cruise, and make a long season of it. His Lordship
never enjoys his health so well on shore as afloat.

FALMOUTH, Nov. 12.
The Sheldrake packet, Lieutenant Passingham, from
the. Brazils, arrived off the port about one o'clock, but,
owing to extremely light and variable winds, she could
not reach her anchorage until just now, 8 p.m., when
her mails were immediately landed. She left Rio Ja-
neiro on the 19th, and Bahia the 30th of September,
and Pernambuco on the 10th of October, and brings
about 15,0001. on freight. There had been a change of
Ministry at Rio in the early part of September, a list of
which we subjoin, and when the packet left everything
was quiet in that city. The exchange, which was as
high as 34, was expected to fall daily. Affairs at Rio

7MRS. GORE'S " PREFERMENT."—Indepen-
dent'', of the leading object—the exposure of the abuse,
of Church patronage—this new novel abounds in clevr,r
sketches illustrative of the follies of the day. The
Yachting Dandy—the Parisian Sporting Men--the
Serious Dowager and her pet Pope—the Fashionable
Chaplain—the Peerage-conning Old Maid—the Crack-
brained Geographer—and the Lion-i,unter—all these
and many other equally entertaining characters figure
in its lively pages.
DR. HAMILTON.—It is with deep regret we
announce that Dr. Hamilton, the distinguished Pro-
fessor of Midwifery in our University, has, in conse-
quence of bad health, resigned the chair, which he has
filled with so much honour to himself, and advantage
to the community for nearly half a century, This; is
not the proper time to speak of Dr. Hamilton's merits
as a teacher, or as a practitioner, but we may, with
propriety, say that his retirement will occasion a
vacancy which it will be difficult to fill D
up. r.
Hamilton has tendered his resignation in such a man:
ner, as leaves the Town Council ample time to look
about for a successor ; and they will, we doubt not,
act with the caution and deliberation which the import-
ance of the occasion requires.—Edinburgh Paper.

himself immediately after by a gunshot from a soldier

If we begin with Italy, the Sicilian Court first
attracts our notice. The King's mother married, a
year or two ago, an officer of her son's Guards,
after dismissing another idol ; a Prince of the
same family has taken for his partner a fair
daughter of Albion ; and last, not least, the mother
of one who will perhaps ascend some day the
proudest throne on the Continent, is united to
a Sicilian Nobleman. If we move northwards,
and leave in our rear a Court whence Hymen is
banished, a country where some of the wisdom and
munificence of the brightest of the Medici shines
in Leopold 11., the ducal family of Lucca presents
us a Princess who, the widow of a Royal Prince
of Saxony, has lately united herself to one of her
brother's subjects. Not far off reigns within the
narrow bounds of Parma and Piacenza a daughter
of Austria. The widow of one whose flag floated
for a time from the Elbe to the Tagus, and since
of one of her father's Generals, she is now believed
to have formed a third matrimonial alliance with a
Gallic member of that diplomacy which obeys the
genius of Metternich. In the Sardinian domi-
nions the Queen Dowager is also supposed to have
entered into a clandestine marriage. France pre-
sents us a very prevalent conjecture as to the sister of
the reigning Sovereign having . been long secretly
married to one of her brother's Alues-de-Camp. In

Sicilian Royal Family. In Portugal a daughter of
dgeennieer(ail bbyeliehfe,rtooaeamraenstofrelolawtivdeesgroefe—thea
the house of Braganza has bestowed her hand upon
the handsome ;Marquis de Louie. Retracing our
steps, and crossing the Rhine, we find the venerable
Sovereign of Prussia united to a Lady of the Bo-
hemian family of Harrach—the amiable Princess
de Liegnitz. A Princess of the Royal house of
Wirtemberg is, it is said, about to marry an Aus-
trian Captain of Hussars ; and a Princess of Darm-
etadt, of dubious birth, likely to ascend the throne
of All the Russias, as consort of the
Emperor Nicholas's son and heir. Into a French
family of no ancient pedigree, though its blood has
mingled with that of the Royal house of Bavaria,
a Grand Duchess of Russia has recently married, to
the amazement of the world, though it had given a
Queen to Holland, an Empress to the Brazils, a
a Crown Princess to Sweden, and a Duchess to Ho-
henzollern. The illustrious house of
.Nassau is
said to be now opposing a marriage between its
Royal head and a Belgian lady, who has retired to
Italy, in order to weaken, by time and absence, the
affections of the amiable and magnanimous Sove-
reign, whose late consort was a Princess of Prussia.
But what are these sports of love compared with the
favours he has showered on the house of Coburg ?

mined to remove the Annual Prize Cattle Slow, this
season, from the original place, the Repository, in St.
John's-street, to the Horse Bazaar, King-street, Port-

the Ilth of December, and three following days. After
three o'clock in the afternoon, the place of exhibition
will be brilliantly illuminated with gas.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The complaints of
the Animals' Friend Society last week were numerous—
George House was fined 9s. 6d., John Noel, 10s.,
and James Paves, 75., by Messrs. Jeremy and Traill,
and the omnibus drivers, 64 and 80, were fined in costs,
on charges of cruelty and furious driving. Thomas
Brown was also charged before Messrs. Jeremy and
Trail, with having assaulted the officer, but he was not
punished further than in giving his own recognizance
for good behaviour (having been drunk and been locked
up four hours). In another charge the officer was as
saulted, and the mob excited against him by Michael
Sullivan and others, for taking a fallow named Absa-
lom Harris into custody, for goading an ass with a
nail. But as there were no marks of ill treatment visible
on the ass, Mr. Twyford dismissed the charge.
ACCIDENT IN EATON-SQUARE.--As a groom
in the service of the Hon. Captain Byng was exercising
two valuable horses belonging to his employer, in Eaton-
square, on Tuesday morning, the horse he was leading
became restive, and the man lost his hold of the rein.
The animal galloped off at a furious rate, in Chapel-
street, shyed at a vehicle that was passing, and dashed
his fore feet through a shop window. breaking three
large squares of glass. He managed to extricate
.hl imh -
self, and galloped off at the top of his speed unti e
came to the mews in which the Hon. Captain's stables
are situated, at the back of the square. At the corner
he came violently in contact with a post, and, falling to
the ground, expired in a few minutes. Ths horse was
a splendid animal, Captain Byng having given 150 gui-
neas for it only last week.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER.—There was no material change in our
market yesterday ; the prices of yarn generally continue
to droop, and lower rates were in many instances sub-
mitted to. Some inquiry for printing cloth manifested
itself during the day ; but we believe it was chiefly from
speculators, who were tempted by the low prices ; and
the business done was not to such an extent as to pro,
duce any improvement in the current rates. One (Jr
two additional failures have been announced ; but they
are not of a nature to cause much sensation in. the
market.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Noy. 11.
There has been rather more business doing to-day than
last Monday; but the prices have been ruinously low.
The wool market has been dull as usual, with the prices
a shade lower.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, Nov. 12.—This market
was as much depressed as any for some time past ; but
we could not ascertain that the disastrous American
news had much effect. The difficulties at borne had
already done enough to paralyze and put a stop to com-
mercial operations. Very few goods were sold, and few
purchases of the raw material were made. Prices are
nominally the same; but there is a general downward
tendency The warehouses and shops exhibit an un-
usual state of inactivity. Every week increases the
number of unemployed operatives.

THE DISGRACEFUL SCENE AT GUILDHALL.
—I feel myself called upon, as a Conservative
member
of the Corporation present at the Lord Mayor's inau-
guration dinner, to repel the accusation that the ex-
pressions of disapprobation which arose on the proposal
of the health of her Majesty's Ministers proceeded
from members of the Corporation. However much
these gentlemen may disapprove of the political course
of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues, they were bound
to recollect, and did recollect, that in that ball they
could not, consistently with the dues of hospitality to
their guests, further express their feelings than by re-
fusing to join in the applause of those of contrary opi-
nions. I enclose you my name and address, and remain,
Sir, your obedient servant.—Correspondent ofthe Morn-
ing Chroxicle.
London, England, 1839-11-14

applies to the counties, in the first place carrying for-
ward our surplus stock of 178 borough Members.
There are two counties in England and Wales, with
less than 30,000 inhabitants, which send three Mem-
bers to Parliament ; these I would disfranchise or put
into schedule A, and allow the electors to vote for the
adjoining county, or neighbouring division. Thus we
have our first surplus of three county Members.
There are six counties and parts of counties, with a
population between 30,000 and 60,000 inhabitants.
Which return eight Members. These eight I would
reduce to six, leaving one for each county ; or, in other
words, putting two counties into schedule B. I should
thus have a further surplus of two county Members.
There are six counties in Scotland, whose population
beinc, less than 30,000 each, must necessarily be dis-
franchised, and their electors allowed to vote for adjoin-
in.. shires. These six counties being put into schedule
A, will of course give a further surplus of six Scotch
county members.
The Irish county reprosentation cannot be diminished
in a single instance, as there is not one with less than
60,000 inhabitants that returns Members to Parliament.
All the county representatives from Ireland, are sent
from densely peopled districts, comprehending in some
instances upwards of half a million of inhabitants.
We have now a surplus stock of 178 borough and
11 county members, total 189, which we will proceed to
distribute among the large towns at the rate of one to
every 25,000 inhabitants, and to the counties at the
rate of one to every 60,000 inhabitants.

LOVE AND ROYALTY.

Since Louis the Fourteenth took unto himself a
wife, in the person of Scarron's widow, it would be
difficult to name many of the Royal or Princely
houses of Europe in which some such nzesailiances
have not occurred. Though lucre has no reason
to bewail any decline of his influence in private life,
love—that leveller of ranks par excellence—would
appear to have derived additional sway from the
levelling times in which we live ; and there are at
present very few reigning families some members of
which have not obeyed the might of him who, of
yore, made the immortal gods woo the daughters of
mortal man.

INQUEST ON THE SUFFERERS BY THE LATE
FlRE.—Yesterday an inquest was held on the eight un-
fortunate persons who perished by the fire in Hounds-
ditch. After a long investigation which did not
explain the origin of the fire, the bodies were ordered
to be buried, and the inquest was adjourned till next
Wednesday.
BOROUGH OF DEVONPORT.—Mr. Tuffnell,
having concluded his canvass, left Devonport on Thurs•
day morning last, to resume his official duties in Lon,
don. Mr. Leach's friends and supporters have also con-
cluded their canvass, and on Thursday evening they
held a meeting at the Town-hall, to otmsider what fur•
ther steps should be taken. The admission to this
meeting was strictly limited to those who had signed
the requisition to Mr. Leach, and being declared to be
of a private character, we cannot give a detailed report
of what took place ; but we understand that after some
discussion a resolution, to the following effect, was una-
nimously adopted :—" That the Committee, having ob-
tained so large a number of signatures, with assurances
of support from a still more numerous body of electors,
determine on carrying Mr. Leach to the poll ; and that
a copy of this resolution be communicated to Mr. Tuf-
nen." The number of signatures obtained by the Com-
mittee in their canvass is, we understand, about 360.
The total number of registered electors for the borough
exceeds .2,100. We augur well for the ultimate success
of the Liberal cause, that the great body of electors
have refused to pledge themselves, while there ;re three
candidates in the field soliciting their suffrages. No
Conservative candidate has yet appeared, but we are
promised one in good time.—Devonport Telegraph.

would appear in their favour._( Cheers ) Now this sum
should at once be applied to the Uses of the new Society—
but, be it understood, that a similar amount should he added
by the gentry who would be most benefited by the Reform
Registry Association—indeed, he might make a promise
that this sum would be given, as he bad heard, from seve-
ral influential persons, a desire expressed to have such a
body formed on a permanent basis, and their willingness to
subscribe liberally towards it.—( Cheers.)
The motion of adjournment to Monday was then carried,
and the thanks of the meeting being passed to the Chair.
man, the meeting adjourned.
