11°R-BY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
Were estimated at 8,000 hales, of which 3,000
eijaalo.sd
elican. wore taken on speculation. The market
e
with a hardening tendency. The sales com-
prised 5,500 American, 800 Pernam and Miran-
'gal; at 6-1-d. to 7-id.; 400 Bahia, at qd.. to 61d.;

There has been a firm market for grain at full

Mr. Eaton :
at:l3y far the greater portion was bought in,:say, Chinas
yd. per lb. above previous rates, and Bengals with-
out alteration. The business by private contract',
°ugh to some extent, has not been equal to that usual
at these periods, but which, as regards Chinas, may be
teltsilY accounted for by the unprecedentedly large opera.
, °ns of the last two months, as also to the demand of
Vders.of an advance upon the prices then established.
o prices actually realised have been—Tsatlees, 16s.
uo- to 20s. 6d.; and for Taysaams, 14s. 9d. to 17s. 3d,
!including long reels) against 15s. 6d. to 195., and 14s
to 15s. 6d. during the February sales. In Bengals the
only reason for a limited business is the scarcity of the
equalities required, and the inferiority of the existing
steeks. -
Advices, dated the 16th inst., from Constan-
luople, announce the arrival there on the 14th
wikst• of Baron Bruck, the Austrian Envoy, who
,4 immediately received by the Turkish autho-
'les with great solemnity. The Porte had, it is
asserted, in respect to the views of the Ambassador,
Promisedto modify its note to Count Nesselrode,
as to
and
the maintenance of the last fir-
man, awl. render it for ever obligatory on the part
of Turkey towards all Christian Powers. The
question now asked is, whether Russia will be
Satisfied
with this declaration, which gives all she
_as demanded, or insist upon the observance of the
vitact form in which her claims were put forward.
The New York advices are not of particular
interest. Stocks continued quiet. Money was
le:,a37*, and trade in most departments healthy and
risk. At New York the imports still exceeded
the exports.
The Chilian advices to the beginning of May
Zstate that the Government of that republic was
mediating, with every hope of success, to bring
about all amicable arrangement of the differences
w
bet een Peru and Bolivia, and already had been
-,;s.+rumental in the reconcilement of Peru and
tquador, both of which had just concluded a
treaty.
The Mexican accounts inform us of the release
of Mr. Falconnet, the agent of the English bond-
holders. It was stated that the good relations be-
tii.l;:eeu Mexico and the United States were very
to be maintained.

TRE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—Yesterday,
the Lord Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway preached a
sermon at the parish church of St. Mary, Lambeth, on
behalfa of the Scottish Episcopal Church Society. The
double purpose of this sermon was to increase the funds
functions
this excellent society, which performs the combined
junctions of several such societies in the Church of Eng-
land, and to enlighten the public mind in this country as
trs
"'" the history and character of the Church in Scotland,
about which comparatively little is known, though it has
always existed, even under the most oppressive per-
eecution, apostolical in its doctrine, apostolical in its
t
liecession and only too apostolical in its poverty.
he •
right reverend prelate took for his text the 32d
uapter of the Book of Numbers, the 6th, 7th, and
Bth verses. Of these words, the obvious application to
the circumstances of the case was made by tha bishop
'kith clearness, with eloquence, and with so entire an
4,l!)Berlee of all bitterness of feeling or expression, that he
Vlnot even mention the fact that the Prince of Orange,
Efore he was William 111. actually offered to make the
piscopal Church the Established Church of Scotland,
i'„the bishops would allow him to be prayed for by name
t" their service. The bishops conscientiously objected
kvbthis as being in violation of their oath of allegiance to
tCug James 11. and his heirs, and thereupon the Pres-
pterian form was made national. Among other illus-
ehations of the very recent persecution to which the
church was subjected, it will scarcely be credited that,
4-1) to the year, 1791, more than five persons assembling
4,4 congregation for Divine service were liable to
t,,:ure penalties. The sermon of the right rev. prelate
tildently produced a deep impression that, more widely
lilused would be productive of great good.

right r prelate took for
thatt the 9th chap. of St. Luke, 6th verse, and upon
discussed the different degrees of power and influence
nations held, especially this our native country,
his lordship observed, swayed the destinies of the
pZ ld; with this influence his lordship associated that
ttires'ed by individuals in supporting the valuable cha-
th'es of London, to enable them to satisfy the wants of
the multitude that flocked to them for their aid, saying
fat t,heY were our pride and our boast, and the means
the lowing many thousands of returning and pursuing
alVocations, from which they would
fowlotherse be
k.,7llded, and obliged to seek the workhouse their
kalutenance, so hurtful and repugnant to the feelings of
11,1113'. In conclusion, his lordship earnestly and power-
(l entreated a liberal contribution for an institution so
;tis!'rving public support. since during the last year 1,388
be tents had been placed on its books, and that 559 had
tellu discharged cured, besides many more materially
produced
His lordship's pathetic and eloquent appeal
