LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, WEDNESDAY.
—We have had a fair demand for Cotton to-day. Sales 3,000
bags, without alteration in prices.
CAUTION TO FARMERS AND TRADESMEN.-
_

We have before had occasion to caution our readers against
the tricks of pretended money-lenders, and several cases
have come before the Insolvent Debtors' Court, where per-
sons duped by them have been brought to ruin. A circular
addressed to a highly respectable tradesman in this county is
now before us, in which the parties offer to procure merchants',
factors', brokers', or tradesmen's bills of exchange, to any " rea-
sonable amount," either to get discounted, or to pay away in
the course of business, and a ivofully long sermon on the ad-
vantages of the bill system is appended to this friendly offer.
The gentleman selected for this special mark of favor is par-
ticularly requested not to show the circular to any ore, unless
he he a confidential and respectable friend, whose object it is
likely to secure. No doubt other gentlemen, in Essex, have
received similar communications, but we would advise them to
pause ere they burn their fingers.—Esser Hcrahl.
After the review on Saturday, the inhabitants of
Kensington were agreeably surprised at the gates of Holland
Park being thrown open for the reception of the Royal Horse
Guards Blue, on their return to Windsor—Lord Holland, on
being applied to, having kindly given his assent to Colonel
Hill—where, by the judicious arrangements of Quarter-Master
Turner, each soldier received a bottle of porter, with bread and
cheese, supplied by the worthy host of the Holland Arms
after which they proceeded, highly gratified with their enter-
tainment.

JEWS.---On the 17th of May last Mr. Hawes
presented a petition to the House of Commons from a Mr.
Ebenezer Dermer, the object of which is thus stated :—" The
petitioner cannot withhold the expression of his alarm and ap-
prehension that a Bill for the incorporation of the Jews along
with the Christian citizens of Great Britain and Ireland, if
carried into execution, would be at most decided variance with
the prophecies of the Old Testament."
WATERLOO DAY.—Here, as everywhere else, the
anniversary of this great victory now passes off very quietly.
A few years ago, the neghbouring woods were laid under con-
tribution, that green boughs might flaunt o'er all the town—
banners were displayed—the youth rejoiced in a long holiday,
and convivial gathering mustered at night ; but, so far as
popular demonstration is concerned, Waterloo day has lost
its freshness, and, like all other " great victories," it has
become alone the property of history. On SaturJay last,
however, a party, amounting to nearly thirty gentlemen,
assembled in the house of Mr. Archibald JohnstDne, of the
Ewe and Lamb Inn, to do honour to the occasion.—Dumfries
Courier.

About two o'clock on Saturday morning, the inha-
bitants of Kelso were suddenly aroused from their slumbers by
the ringing of thefire bells. The cottage in which the fire
occurred, situated in the lane leading from the foot of the
Wood Market to Ilempseed Ford, being unoccupied, a id fresh
footsteps having been observed in the garden behind it, there
is but too much reason to suspect that the fire was the work of
some incendiary. By the exertions of the people assinibled,
and the timely arrival of the fire-engines, the fire was clothed
to the cottage in which it originated, which was totally con.
sumed. No clue has as yet been obtained likely to lead to the
detection of the incendiary. —Kelso Chronicle.
On Monday evening a meeting of inhabita Itg of
this town took place at the Peacock Inn, for the purdose of
entering into a subscription in aid of the O'Connell fun 1, now
raising in different parts of the kingdom.-- IVolverh unpton
Chronicle.

The carpet-weavers at Kidderminster have resumed
their work. No alteration in the rate of wages has taken place.
At Folkstone, on Sunday last, about four o'clock
in the afternoon, there was a heavy storm of rain with thun-
der and lightning, which set fire to a stable in which were
two horses. All was destroyed.
!The roads in the neighourhood of Edinburgh are
mich infested with swindlers, notwithstanding 'the e Ker t ions
