A MISSISSIpI SQUATTER.—" This ner.s tree,'
said the squatter, who had just disembarke'd on the desolate
shore of the Mississipi, with his wife and sister, "this here tree
must come down smack—and them there three small ones into
the bargain ; then this one, and that one, and they two t'others,
shall have their heads and branches cut off slick; and there's
the four corners of the house as clean as a whistle, and we
must roll up the logs round them. I say, gals, don't I know
the river? I expect this will prove the most profitable privi—
lege of a wooding station of any 'twixt New Orlines and Cin-
cinatti. What with that there elegant creek, and this here
handsome elevation, (the spot selected for his house was at this
time at least six or seven inches above the level of the river;)
and what with them there capital hickories, and this dreadful
beautiful sweep-in of the river, that will bring the steamers up
to me, whether they will or no ;—I say, gals, that if things
do but go at New Orlines as bravely as they do now, I'll make
dollars enough, by wooding their boats for 'em, to open
store for all the notions in creation at Natchez, before ten
years are out. Why, since we've landed, I've seen half a
dozen first-rate timbers shoot the creek ; hut I'll soon see if
I can't find a way to stop 'em short, as soon as I've got a pair
of hands to spare."--Mrs. Trollope's " Jonathan Jefferson
lirhitlaw."

We learn from St. Petersburg that there are up-
wards of 3,000 workmen employed in building a cathedral, to
be dedicated to St. Isaac. The outside of the copula is to be
ornamented by 24 columns of granite, each of one piece, 42 feet
high, fifteen of which have already arrived. The porticos
will be 120 feet in length, and will be supported by 48 co-
lums of granite, with bases and capitals of bronze. When
finished it will be the most magnificent edifice erected in mo-
dern times.

Mr. HosiiiNs told him he could not assist him, but he
might apply to an attorney ; upon which the applicant
hastily withdrew, vowing in a frisetto torte of voice that he
would have his harness !.;ack 'in spite of the dentist's teeth,
at the same time grinding his own with rage and vexation.

LEEos.----Tbe market is sornewlia active in. most kinds
of goods. Prices steady. An advance is expected when
the new arrivals of wool come into play.
BRADFORD.—The piece-market on Thursday was good,
the demand bearing principally on six-quartern merinosi
Yarns arc in demand, and an advance is expected WOOL
is rather on the rise. The stocks are low, but further
supplies begin to flow in, and the British wool, generally,
is found to be of excellent quality.
HALIFAX.-At the market on Wednesday there Was
more than an average number of buyers, but not quite .so
much business was done as last week. The stock of goal'
on hand is not heavy, as there has of late been a great die
minution in the make, and it is expected that an improve-
ment will soon take place in prices.
HECKMONDWIKE.—The orders for the American.
market are now drawing to a close, and the blanket mer-
chants are attending the blanket-hall preparatory to pur-
chasing for the home trade. Prices yet remaiu steady.
ROCHDALE, JULY 12.—The market, this week, has
been just the same as last, goods in active request, and the
stocks becoming very light. In wool the demand is els°
lively ; low and middle qualities scarce.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 14.—The supply and de.,
[nand to this day's market has been about as usual but of
inferior quality, with no visible variation in prices from our
last quotations, and though the market lingered on through
the early part of the day, yet towards the close we find
considerable business done. In moor wools the prices have
been for the fine pasture kind 7d. to 81d., and for the high
moor kind 6d. to Bd. per lb.
LEICESTER WOOL FAlR.—This annual fair has gone of
well. Buyers and sellers are numerous, and much business
was done. The quantity of wool was,—lots 54, fleeces
6,51.5. The average price was 435. half and half. The
silver cup presented to the largest buyer was carried by Mr.
Jacques, who bought 465 tods.
Trade in this town and in the district surrounding it is
in a most prosperous condition. On all sides are to be
seen new mills and cottages, some just completed, and
others in course of erection. Several additional factories
are nearly built in Ashton, Duckinfield, Staley Bridge,
Rochdale, Bury, and Bolton, and in the village of Her
wood, which only a short time ago was an insignificant
place, four hundred cottages will be built in the present
summer, with one or two very large factories, an inn, and
a church.—,-Manchester Paper. j ' -

Masters'-quarter day
,meeting, held prices
for pigs, bars, and sheets, of 'last quarter were' maintained.
Large buyers might purchase five shillings per ton less, but
the ordinary sales were at last quarter's quotations. It is
not expected that any reduction can take place for some
months.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET Joar 16.
The Market, in the early part of the week, offered no appearance
of amendment, the demand continuing very moderate, with a droop-
ing disposition in the lower qualities et American, sales having been
made hd. to id. under last week, whilst the fart and better qualities
were moving at steady rates. Yesterday we had a better demand,
as well from speculators as the trade, which has restored confidence
in some degree, and purchases cannot now be made under last
week's quotations. Sea Islands are offered very sparingly at an ad-
vance of Id. per pound. Exporters have taken 1,200 American,
600 Maranham, and 150 Surat, and speculators 2,100 American,
and 500 Pernam. The imports consist of 24,410 bags from the
United States, 2,805 Maranhams, 990 Egyptians, and 56 Deme-
raras ; total, 28,261 bags. The sales are—
