LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH l2.—The business
done this we,l is large, amounting to 36,570 bags, of which
specu'ators have taken 7,500 balesof American and 3,000 Surat,
and exporters 100 bales of American and 50 Surat; the rest
to the trade. The accounts from America received here on
Sunday last being of a more hostile nature, caused considerable
excitement on Monday, inducing many of our holders either to
withdraw their Cotton, or become indifferent as to effecting
sales, and causing a more general disposition to purchase on
speculation than the state of the trade warranted. The prices
of American of ordinary to lair quality are l/t higher than Fri-
day last ; other qualities barely ; and Surats are somewhat
dearer ; other descriptions without any change. The sales to-
day are about 4,000 bales of all kinds, and a quieter market.

We have received Jamaica papers to the 51 February at the
North and South American Coffee-house.

A West India mail has arrived this morning, brought by her
Majesty's packet Hope, sailed from St. Thomas's Feb. 4;
Cape Henri, Feb. 9; she brings a freight of 70,000 dollarii.
On the 28 h December, his Excellency Sir Henry M‘Leod
°pew(' the combined Court at British Guiana, with the fol-
lowing speech:—
" Gentlemen,—la my short address to the Court of Policy,
on the occasion of my being sworn into the office of Gov: rnor,
I acquainted Ton with the particu'ar service on which I had
been commissioned by her Majesty. In furtherance of that
duty I am now prepared to bring into the Court of Policy,
and therefore submit for your consent, an ordinance for the
purpose of settling a Civil List on the Crown. Upon the pro-
Nisions of that ordinance I have reason to believe that
there will be little, if any, difference of opinion ; for I
think it will be seen that although I have placed
the salaries somewhat below what were originally proposed, I
have not overlooked the interest of the public officers. Be-
fore we proceed to the consideration of the Civil List which
properly belongs to the Supplies of 1841, I propose that you
shouLl first dispose of the Estimate of 1840, and provide in
the regular manner for the means to meet the expendi-
ture of this year. For that purpose, and in order that no
further loss may be sustained by the Celonial Treasury, it
might be desirable, and I shall have no objection first of
all to introduce an ordinance reviving and continuing the
Tax Bill of 1839 for the years 1840 and 1841

We are informed that the final settlement of the Eastern
question was signed here on Thursday evening last, as amended
by M. Guizot and the Plenipotentiaries of the Powers. France
is among the number.

FLANDMIS AND HAMBURGH

MAILS.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 11.—Those who reckoned on
the Senate to accomplish the work, in which they have
failed in the Chamber of Representatives, have deceived
themselves. We have before us the, report made by
the Committee for examining the Budget of the Mi.
nister of the Interior. It is remarkable for the wise
and elevated views on which the Committee founds its
assent to the articles that were the most contested in
the Chamber, such as the sum of 100,000 francs for
the exhibition of 1841, and the funds for encouraging
manufactures and commerce.

The Co►nmittee of the Smote justly observes, with
respect to these funds, that " economy does tm t always
consist in not spending, and that, on the contrary, na-
tions as well as individuals often improve their situation,
by knowing how to make use, apropos, of a sum of
money."

BRUSSELS, MARCH I2.—The Senate will commence
to-day the discussion of the budget of the Department
of the Interior. We are entering into Chaos.
A repast is in eircuLtion that the Senate will do
what the Chamber has not dared to do—refuse the
budget and overthrow the Ministry. We do not be-
rev,: any such thing. The Senate is composed of men
who are too reasonable to join in the rancour of some
disappointed ambitious persons, and embarrass the pub-
le service ; besides it would be a thing hitherto un-
heard of in Parliamentary history to a Ministry
overthrown by a Chamber of Peers, and Upper Cham-
ber, or Senate ; accordingly, we take the liberty to
doubt the existence of such a plot.
If there are citizens who ought to desira tie mainte-
nance of the status quo, and tear convulsion, it is evi-
dently the Senators ; they know better than any others
that the country which sports with portfruilles, is not so
far off as may be imagined from sporting with heads ;
thr.t is to say, that the instability of Government leads
directly to anarchy, and that anarchy is the republic
of the gui lotine.—Courrier Belge.
LIEGE, MARCH 10.—The sale of Mr. Cockerill's
establishment, comprising two lots; the first, Seraing
and its dependencies; the second, the house at Liege, and
those of Spa and Tilleurs, could not be effected to-day,
as had been announced, no buyers having appeared.
VIENNA, MARC:I 3.—Count St. Aulaire has not yet
been ablo to set out for Paris, he is confined to his
bed by a severe attack of the grippe. The Russian
Ambas,ador, Von Tatischeff, will set out next week for
St. Peti,rsburgii, on .6 ive of abseree. M. Von Kudri-
,,ffsy, first s.cr, tary of the legation, is to accompany
him.

TURKISH FRONTIER, FEB. 24.—We learn from
Bucharest that Prince Ghika is not satisfied with the
address of the Wallachian Representatives, or with the
choice of the secretaries. The General Assembly
manifest but little concern for the danger to which the
family of the Prince was exposed, and ascribe all the
intrigues exclusively to foreign influences. Accord-
ingly, all the copies of the National received from
Paris have been subjected to a most vigorous
censorship. One of the secretaries is a well known
ex- Colonel, son of the great Logothetes (formerly a
candidate for the dignity of Hospodar) ; a second is
Emanuel Baliano, son of one of the principal Boyars
of Wallachia, and both are personal enemies of
the Prince, who is said to have found means to coun-
teract thtir intrigues,
OSNABURGH, MARCH I.—lt may be remembered
that the Provincial Estates, after they had protested
against the new Constitution, resolved to address a
respectful representation and petition to the King.
The petition was for the convocation of a General As-
sembly of the Estates in formality to the Constitution,
and for protection against violations of the Consti.Aitien
a number of which were annexed to the petition as
grievances of the Estates. This petition was forwarded
to his Majesty lit Hanover by the post on the 24th
of last month, and has just come back, sealed with two
iargo seals, and the word refused written on the cover.
C OBEENTZ, MARCH B.—Private letters from BA-
vi,ria confirm the account from Munster, given in the
Frankfort Journal of 26th of February, that the ve-
nerable Dean Diepenbrock, in Ratisbon, is chosen co
adjutor, with
gee the jus succesendi, to the Archiepiscopal
See of Coo.
BERLIN, MARCH I.—The commercial convention
with Hull Ind, its spite of the remonstrances of the com-
mercial world, is renewed, as we hear, for six years.
HAMBURGII, MARCH B.—Every hour more portions
of the Elbe are free of ice. The directors of the tele.
graph have published a notice stating that when the
ice in the Elbe is breaking information shall be dis-
patched by the telegraph at every turn of ebb and flow,
and at other frees when a change takes place of the
state of the river, which information is to be posted up
at Cuxhaven, that the captains of the ships at Cux.
haven may not leave that harbour till they have notice
that the navigation of the river is quite free. More
