Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

The Market continues steady, but with less busi.

VICE-PRESIDENT JOHNSON.—Governor Johnson
appeared in the Senate yesterday morning. His health is
entirely restored. He was as cheerful as any man could be
after having recovered from so severe an indisposition.—
Washington Chronicle.
.THE LATE M. HACHETTE.—A memoir of the late
M. Hachette, founder of the greatest publishing house in
France, has just been published. It is an instructive bio-
graphy of a self-made man ; who was a plain liver and high
thinker; who persevered through poverty, holding fast to
the purpose he had set before him. He seems to have been
a good friend to the better class literature of his country,
and to have left a name dear to hosts of friends. M. About
hastens to lay a flower upon his grave.—.Athenavm.
DONATO NOT ON HIS LAST LEG !—Despite an-
nouncements of Donato's incapacity to appear again on the
stage, it seems, from an announcement in the Orchestra,
that he is engaged for the Porte St. Martin Theatre,

PROFESSOR KISS, OF BERLIN, the sculptor of the
"Amazon," had, it appears, long been suffering from con-
gestion of blood to the head, and was found dead in his
bed on Friday last week. _ .

THE RESULT OF PERSEVERING INDUSTRY.—Last
evening a large number of persons met at Mr.
Moorton's, the Feathers Tavern, Warren-street, Totten-
ham-court-road, to witness a distribution for a curious
piece of workmanship—a reversablo hearthrug of handsome
design. The hearthrug is composed of 36,000 pieces of
woollen cloth of varied colours, and is the result of patient
and persevering industry on the part of Sergeant Lambert,
on sick leave from the E division of police, -a great portion
of the work having been carried on while he was in hos-
pital. Mr. Moorton commenced the proceedings by stating
that he was glad to see so many persons had assisted in
the matter. Sergeant Lambert had always well performed
his duty, and he had no doubt the support the sergeant had
received would act as an incentive to other officers.

THE CONVICT POTTER.—According to the Derby
Reporter, Potter, who was convicted of the murder of his
wife at the last Derby assizes, and who was respited during
her Majesty's pleasure, has been removed to Broadmoor
Lunatic Asylum. " When the commissioners of lunacy
visited him (says that journal) he acted very cleverly, or
his mind was overbalanced in consequence of the fear of
death. Of course a respite is not a reprieve ; nevertheless,
the impression is
general that, as in the case of Townley,
if he is ultimately pronounced sane, he will not be sent
back to Derby to be executed, but will be removed to
Pentonville Prison."
SPRING.—In Yorkshire the first indication of
spring was on Thursday, when March may be said to have
made up its mind to "depart like a lamb." The month has
been one of constant snow and frost, and in a great measure
all agricultural pursuits were suspended. A sudden thaw
took place on Tuesday night, and except under hedgerows
and walls on the hills, snow has disappeared. Another dry
day or two will enable farmers to get upon the oat lands,
of which crop the sowing must be late. The change must
be of great benefit to the young lambs, among which some
loss has been occasioned by the late hard weather. Midges
in abundance, and a wasp or two, were seen on Thursday.
APOTHECARIES'-HALL.—The following gentlemen
passed their examination in the science and practice of
medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs-
day, March 80 :—John Williams, University College ; H.
Wilson South Sturton, Trafalgar-road, Greenwich; Edwin
Burrell Westley, Bury St. Edmunds ; Charles Claridge
Brewer, City-road. As an Assistant—John Lloyd, George-.
street, Cardiff.

ALTERATIONS IN THE SHIPS ROYAL SOVEREIGN
AND PRINCE CONSORT.—It appears from a Parlia-
mentary return that the cost of the alterations and repairs
executed on the Royal Sovereign since her return from her
cruise, last autumn, is £3,845. The expense of the altera-
tions executed on the Prince Consort, since her return
amount to £7,107 18s. Bd. It-seems that the cost of alter-
ing the Royal Alfred from the ordinary broadside to her
present arrangement is £14,912.
