LIVERPOOL—THURSDAY'S COTTON MAIDEET.-- —w bale
had an extraordinary demand for Cotton to-day, influencedno doubt, by the late accounts from the United States; tbe
sales are fully 10,000 bags, at yesterday's,advance; sPeca,,

THE CURRENCY.—This important question has been Settle;
and we may expect that the next packet will bring out .
OAT in Council respecting it ; upon the receipt of it to,
Governor will, we have no doubt, issue a Proclamation, ,e
bodying the provisions of the Order in Council. The deco,
sion of the Lords of the Privy Council is quite different fr°oo
what was expected by the Directors of the Colonial Bank, 0
one hand, and parties in the island on the other; they rel!l.,_
either to make the dollar the standard of value in the colonie"
or to introduce the currency of the mother country. e
The Falmouth post informs us that the " season s" bay

lieve have been general throug bout the island. ihemse
bourers have generally resumed work in this country 00 t"0
properties where they have not turned out, and the fault, re,

The Cornwall Chronicle says, on several estates in St.Jsllloo
the labourers are doing but little to keep their cultivation•
some estates they go to work in the morning, work pretty R.
but ere they have done half a day's labour, they strike, Pros
they have done enough for the day. One correspondent to
us they worked better a month since ; but they seem to b 8
new fangled whim in their heads.
His Excellency the Governor yesterday publicly Col3trire

The weather in Antigua, this year, has presented 11..40%
