well-known vicarious appellation for a locum tenens, ore""of
puty holding the place of a superior ; and it has becovn

large appropriation in the civil, military, and naval "'oil
ments. The word is originally derived from 100/45'

MANCHESTER.—Cotton here maintains ••its psat
but there is very little business doing either in t',lo raw'
torial or in the goods market. People in husb.iess
some time been desirous to do as little as possible, unt3l
money affairs are more clearly settled : this precaution Vst
had a salutary effect, and we believe the crisis will noVir
without any thing like general loss. Silk is somewhat 1,11v,.e,
lively than for some time past. A great number of :Fae:',..t
