Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

-- O

Market opens with a good attendance, but little
business doing at present. Sales, probably 6,000 or
7,000 bales.

An ironclad on a new principle discovered by the
Emperor of the French is now being constructed at Toulon.
It is called Le Choc, carries no guns, and only acts by its
weight and speed, sinking the ships it attacks by breaking
them to pieces.

The Right Hon. Lord Lyttelton will take the
chair at Willis's Rooms, on Monday next, the 15th inst.,
at 3 p.m., at the annual meeting of the National Colonial
Emigration Society. Several influential persons connected
with the various British colonies are expected to address
the meeting.

A floating construction, containing a steam-
engine, and usod by MM. Martin and Belleville as a factory
for dyeing and cleansing wool, was destroyed two days
back by fire while moored in an arm of the Seine near
Elbeul. The total loss is estimated at 25,000 fr. The
disaster is supposed to have been caused by the igniting of
portion of the woodwork near the chimney of the steam-
engine. _ _

STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—The Dela-
ware, screw, built by Messrs. Tod and Macgregor,
has made a satisfactory run froia the Clyde to Liverpool.
The dimensions of the Delaware are as follows :—Length,
284 ft ; breadth, 39ft. ; depth, 27ift. ; burden, 2,108 tons, old
measurement. She is fitted with trunk engines of 350 horse
power nominal. The Old Dominion and City of Petersburg,
lately employed as blockade-runners, have been thoroughly
overhauled on the Clyde preparatory to being put on the
Liverpool and Dublin station. Messrs. Hedderwick and
Co. have launched a saloon paddle named the Aerial, in-
tended to be employed for pleasure purposes upon the
Tamar and other Devonshire rivers. She is 120 ft. long by
14ft. and 7ft., and is being fitted with oscillating engines
by Messrs. James Bennie and Co., of the Caledonian
Foundry, The new steamer Kyles, built for the Wemyss
Bay Steamboat Company, and intended to ply in connection
with the Wemyss Bay Railway, has made a trial trip, in
which she attained a speed of 17i miles per hour (having
" run the lights" in 52 min. 40 sec.), with a pressure of
steam of 271 b. per square inch.

TRADE OF THE SOUTH WALES PORTS.—During
the month of April 24,507 tons of coal were exported
from Newport, against 27,985 tons in March, and 23,709
tons in the corresponding month of last year. Coastwise the
shipments reached 48,517 tons, as compared with 55,039
tons in the previous month, and 47,774 tons in April, 1864.
These returns show an increase, although not a large one,
in both the export and coasting trades, but there would have
been a larger increase had not tonnage been rather scarce
during the month. Swansea exported 47,668 tons, against
50,191 tons in March, and 47,630 tons in the corresponding
month of last, and the shipments coastwise were 24,171
tons, as compared with 24,847 tons in the previous month,
and 24,251 tons in April, 1864. The exports from Llanelly
reached 18,320 tons, against 17,145 tons in February, and
13,927 tons in the corresponding month of last year, and the
coasting shipments were 24,812 tons, as compared with
