CoTToN.The market bas been firm.

(THIS DAY.)

E-FRIDAY

Only a moderate supply of English Wheat has bees
~cceived up to our market this week, coastwise as well
as by land carriage; hence the show of samples here
)this morning was small. As the number of millers is
attendance was limited, the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state, at
prices about equal to those obtained on Monday. The
imports of Foreign Wheat have amounted to 17,650
quarters, nearly the whole of which have passed the
Customs for home consumption. Selected parcels were
steady, at full currencies; but all other qualities were a
slow inquiry. Barley, the supply of which was
small, sold s'owly, at about stationary prices.
The inquiry for Malt was restricted to retail quantities,
at previous currencies. The Oat trade was tolerably
firm, and late rates were mostly supported. Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn were held at full prices. Flour
was a slow sale, but not cheaper.

The supply of Beasts in to-day's market being on the
increafe—the fresh arrivals comprising nearly 700 head
from Norfolk—and the attendance of buyers small, the
Beef trade was exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the
quotations of Monday of fully 2d per 81bs, at which a
clearauce was not all cted. With Sheep we were some-
what heavily supplied; hence, the demand for that de-

scription of stock was in a very inactive state, and prices
gave way quite 2d per 81bs. The highest figure for the
best old Downs being 4s per 81bs. Lambs, the numbers
of which were large, moved off slowly, at a fall in value
of per 81bs. In calves very little business was trans-
acted, and prices had a downward tendency. The Pork
trade was heavy, at barely late rates. Mitch Cows were
dull, at from 131 to 171 each, including their small calf.

The accounts from the plantations being favourable
—the bine having made considerable progress during the
present week, and being tolerably free from insects—
there is less desire on the part of the dealers to purchase,

veral parcels of which have changed hands, and a consi-
derable consumption in the article is looked for at the

THE BISHOP OF CHESTER.—The Bishop of the
diocese held an ordination in the cathedral church of
this city on Sunday morning last. Prayers were said
by the Very Rev. the Dean, but the service was sud-
denly interrupted by a most painful occurrence. During
the chaunting of the " Venite," the Bishop was seized
with a fainting fit and sank upon the floor of the throne;
a great sensation was of course excited; his Lordship's
examining chaplain, his secretary, and others, imme-
diately went to the Rev. Prelate's help, and some of the
officiating clergy left their stalls to send for medical and
other assistance. The Bishop was taken to the palace,
into which there is an entrance from the cathedral. Dr.
Llewellyn Jones and Mr. Harrison were quickly in
attendance and restoratives were applied with effect;
and it being ascertained that his Lordship was reco-
vering, the clergy returned to their stalls and the
Dean resumed the service. The lessons were read
by two of the candidates for priest's orders ; the
first by the Rev. F. E. Williams, and the second by the
Rev. I. Judge. It had been the intention of the Bishop
to preach on the occasion; but he was at length per-
suaded to forego, though with great reluctance, such de-

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—On and after the 21st inst.
a closed mail will be made up at the post-office for Ham-
burgh, and transmitted daily (Sundays excepted) by
way of Belgium and Prussia. The letters for Ham-
burgh, which the public may desire to forward in this
manner, should be addressed "By Closed Mail via
Belgium and Prussia." The combined British and
Prussian rates are to be taken upon the scale of weight
now used for charging inland letters, the Belgian tran-
sit rate being taken upon a scale advancing by quarter
ounces, in accordance with the principle adopted for
charging letters for Prussia via Belgium. The postage
on the letters for Hamburgh forward€d in these closed
mails may be paid in advance, or the letters sent unpaid
at the option of the sender; but the payment of the
postage for a portion of the distance only is not per-
mitted.

George Anson is to succeed the late Sir Edward Paget
as Governor of Chelsea Hospital.
CuLonoronm.—On Thursday, the wife of a young
man, a butcher employed in the New Market, was deli-
vered of twins, under the influence of chloroform, which
was had recourse to in consequence of most violent and
appalling apoplectic convulsions, which had continued
without intermission for five hours. The mother died
soon after, but the children are doing well.--Aberdeen
