LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 25.—There has
been a moderate demand for Cotton to day. The sales amount
to 4,000 bales, including 1,000 in speculation. Prices continue
steady, without any alteration, and the Market is rather firm.

HAGUE, MARCH 23.—We read in the Staats Courant,
that the King was to arrive at Rotterdam to-morrow, which
has been put off to the 29th instant, owing to a slight indispo-
sition.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MARCH 23.—The transactions
in the national funds have been less animated to-day, and the
sales of some parties caused a new depression in the prices.
The Actions of the Society of Commerce left off at 1634;
Ardoin's Spanish remained without variation at 208 15-16;
Coupons, 201 21.

It is now stated that there is no foundation for the President
and British Queen being sold to the Belgian Government.
The arrival of the President steamer, from New York, is
hourly looked for. It is not expected that she will bring news
of importance, as her dates will be only two days later than
previously received, but by the Government Steamer from
Halifax, which sailed on the 16th instant, we may expect an
answer to Lord Palmerston's despatches sent to Mr. Fox.

The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly
made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,0001.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life
for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,9631.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the last two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such
.new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-
nagement of the Provident Life Office.

started off for Ipswich at a masterly pace, the Orion
about 200 yards a head ; they both had a foresail hoisted,
and during the passage the Orion had gained about six
wiles on the Orwell, when, unfortunately for the former,
she carri d away her foreyard, by which she lost some
of her advantage ; but notwithstandirg this drawback,
and the fact of her etqines not being yet got fairly up
to their full working condition, she arrived at Ipswich
twenty minutes before the Orwell, which, on a run of five
hours end a half, and against so fast a boat, must be ad- ,
nstted to be an important victory; and it may be safely !
affirmed that when her machinery gets into proper work-
ing order, she will do better still, The difference already
established would, on a voyage from the Thames to the
Humber, give an advantage of nearly two hours. The I
form of the Orion is said to bo very perfect, combining
stability at so a, with good lines for speed, end shy may now
be considered the fastest sea-going steamer in the world.
POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Considerable ex-
citement tas for some time past prevailed, owing to a
number of letters and newspapers not having reached the
hands of the parties to whom they have bcen addressed; and
on Friday, suspicion having fallen upon William Jervis, oneof
the letter-eorriers in this t )wr, the Superintendent of
Police, and an officer, scorched Irs dwelling-house,
where they discovered 261. letters and 74 newspapers,

COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS.

On the minion of Mr. E. TENNENT, the House re-
solved itself into a Committee of the whole House, and the
Hon. Gentleman mored for leave to bring in a Bill to Con-
solidate the Laws relating to Copyright of Designs.
Leave was giver, and the Howe resumed.
NEW SOUTH WALES.

Mr. GROTE then rose for the purpose of moving the
f flowing resolutions on the subject of the land fund and
finances of New South Wales :—lst. That it Appears
that in October, 1840, the following resolutions
were passed by the Governor and Legislative Council
of New South Wales, viz.—" 1. That in the opinion f
this Council, the parent Stat., indisputably deriving a
dir.Tt pecuniary saving (inaopendently of ether advan-
tages) from the assignment of convicts to private servec in
New South Walee, and its interests being at all events
in an equal,. if not a superior degree involved in
the due coercion and discipline of such transported offen-
ders, ought in justice to bear at least one-half f the ex-
penses attendant on the police and gaol establishments, which
are raised to their present large amount chitty through
the introduction of a convict population into the colony.
2. That his Excellency the Governor be respectfully so-
licited to represent, on behalf of this Council, to her Ma.
jesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, that this Council
ha; most reluctantly consented to so large an expenditure
fir the support of those establishments since the Ist of July
1835, and has voted the full amount of the estimate for the
°MC for the year 1841, solely from a conviction that it
would not be justified in declining to make provision for
the maintenance of the public tranquillity and security.
3. That by the appropriation, for the period from July I,
1835, to 31st December, 1841, of so large an amount (about
597,0000 of the Colonial Revenue, arising partly
from the sale of public lan&, partly from or-
dinary sources, in delaying the whole charge of
the Police and Goal Establishments, including build.
ings, and the consequent diminution of thoLe lands
in
troduction
of would have been available for the
of free labour, every branch of the productive in-
dustry of this Colony is in danger of falling into
decay, to the great less and injury not only of the
Colony, but of the Parent State also, more esre.

LEBONE.

Lord FITZ ALAN begged to call the attention
of the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Co-
lonies, to a irragraph which appeared in the
Obs:rrer of Sunday last, to the effect that a num-
ber of fema'cs of depraved character were to be sent out
from Marylebone to South Australia, at the parish
expense, in a skip without a superintendent or surgeon.
He begged to ask the Noble Lord whether the at ention
of the Government had been drawn ti this matter, and
whether they apploved of such an application of the parish
money ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the only knowledge which
he had of the subject was from the newspapers,
and in answer to his Noble Friend's second question, he
&uld only say that he consider ed the proposed application
of the parish tunds to such a purpose a most improper one.
In answer ton question from Mr. GOULBURN,
Mr. L ABOUCHE RE said he had no doubt, from
the information of parties connected with the India
Board, that it was understood that under the Act
passed on the 10th of June by the President of
the Council of Madras, the importation of foreign
sugar into Madras, whether by land or sea,
wan as comp!etely prohibited as the importation
of foreign sugar into Bengal by the Act of the British
Parliament. Of course if there were any ambiguity in
the wording of the Act, that ambiguity would be remove 1.
Mr. EWART wished to know whether it was the in-
tention of the Commissioners of Woods and Fore.ta to
throw open the entire of Regent's-park to the public.
The Honourable Member also wished to know the inten-
tion of the Commissioners relative to Richmond-park.
Mr. E. J. STANLEY said that one-half of the Re-
gent's Park was to be opened, but that with respect to
Richmond Park, no alteration would take place.
Mr. EWART then gave nofee that he would move an
an Address to the Crown, praying that those Parks be
opened to the public.
In answer to a question from Lord ELIOT, relative
to tho adoption of certain amendments in the Poor-law
Act,

Mr. FOX MAULE said he was not prepared to an-
swer whether it was the intention of his Noble
Friend (Lord John Russell) to adopt the principle of
the amendments referred to.

PETITION FOR BILL

To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom.
The humble petition of several of the Justices of the Peace for

the county of Middlesex.
Showeth,—That from the magnitude of the business of the
General and Quarter Sessions of the Peace fur the county of
Middlesex, and for the purpose of securing at all times to such
Sessions their proper dignity and weight, it appears to your
petitioners to be expedient that the Chairman of such Sessions
should be a Barrister-at-law of practical experience, and that
his permanent services should be secured by a salary to be paid
to hiin out of the'county-rate of the said county, adequate to
the important duties of his office.
That it would tend to facilitate the proceedings of the Ge-
neral and General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the said
county if the Justices of the Peace for the said county were
empowered, not only to continue to hold (as now authorized
by an Act of the 32d year of his late Majesty King George
the Third), but also to begin to hold their Sessions on and
after the essoign day of any term, or during the sitting of her
Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench at Westminster or elsewhere
in the county of Middlesex.
Your petititioners, therefore, humbly Fay that leave may
be given to bring in a Bill for effecting the purposes aforesaid,
under such regulations and restrictions as to this Honourable
House shall seem meet.

Isoiligence calculated to revive confidence in the credit of
that country. The shares of the Bank of the United States
had experienced a further fall of 10 per cent., be i g list
quoted so low as 17. At New York and on the Sicck
Exchange here they have been done to-day at 51. This
ruinous depression in the shares of the United States
Bank has been occasioned by the belief that the concern
must wind up, and that in doing s) the loss upon the
great mass of their securities will be immense. It
is impossible far any one to FB7 what t"e bulk of
the State stocks, held by the °United States Bank
would realize under liquidation, and hence the panic which
has affected the price of shares. That the loss would be
so great, however, as the fears of panic-stricken hollers
have led them to anticipate, we do not by any means be-
lieve. The bonds of some of tFe American States h.tid
by the Bank are undoubtedly good ; and, indeed, generally
speaking, the same observation would apply to re rrly all;
but the mere knowledge that so huge an amount of State
stocks may be thrown on the market by the possible wind-
ing up of the establishment, dete6,rates the value of the
whole more or less, and must have the effect of crip.
pliag commercial transactions throughout the Union.
We have reasons, however, for thinking that the panic
in the Aste-ican Money Market will disappear by the next
accounts; for the immediate cause of the heavy f.ll in the
United States Bank Shares is traced to the failure cf a
Icadi g broker in Philadelphia, who was unable to take
his stock ; and the panic was greatly a;grsvsed by un-
founded assertions in the New York Herald, that the bills
drawn by the Bank upon the London agency would be re-
turned cishonoured. When the falsehood cf this state-
ment was ascertaine I, we should expect to find that the
price cf the shares bad improved. It is cvi let t that the
suTension of sped, payments, and the issue of one, t xe,
and three dollar notes, will be legalized by the Legisla-
ture of Pennsylvanie.

the morning in vehicles regardless of the expense, He
wislici to remove from the guardians of that Union the
unfair and wholly unfounded charges which had been
brought against them.
Mr. MATTHEWS did not know that the Court had any
thing to do with the question. Ho was sure the Court
could not dictate to the guardians.
Mr. TAYLOR said that no doubt the guardians would be
inilttenecd by the opinions expressed by the Court. The
subject was one in which they were all bound to do all the
good they could accomplish.—(Hear, hear.)'

SCOTT'S BIBLE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV.
Nevrgee-street, March 17, 1841.
noticed a paragraph in the Leeds Mer-
cury to the same purport as the enclosed, we wrote Mr.
Baines, pointing out a moat material inaccuracy, and one
calculated to do us much injury. We are this morning in
receipt cf Mr. Ihioes's reply, in which he states that the
paragraph was copied from The Sun. Under such cir-
cumstance?, we take the liberty of calling your attention
to the matter, feeling confident that a statement so erro-
neous, and inserted in your popular paper, we are sure,
under a mistake, will be rectified immediately on bringing
it to your notice, in such manner as you may deem best.
. The injunction obtained by Messrs. Seeley and others
was against the announcement on the cover of Part I. of
our edition of Scott's Bible, and not against the work it-
sill: We disown the sth, or Dowes's edition of Scott's
Bible, c3nhidering the one we reprint from as the only
really genuine and unadulterated edition of that esteemed
c mrnentatar. Messrs. Seeley considered that our an-
nouncement wished the public to think that our's con-
tained some few alterations and additions, which they say
Mr. Sc.)tt made when he was about 73 years of age,—
whereas we wished the public to think quite the contrary.
The reported alterations and additions being, in our opi-
nion, and that of hundreds of others, mutilations of what
the author wrote when he was in the vigour of health and
intellect, and anything but improvements.
We have thought it. but right to you and ourselves thus
respectfully to call your attention to the subject.
I hare the honour to be, Sir,
for Partner and Self,
. Your obedient humble servant,
ROBERT FISHER.

(Owing to the accidental absence of our reporter who
usually attends the Vice-Chancellor's Court, we copiei
the paragraph from another paper.l

MEXICO.

The Sheldra'se Packet arrised on Wednesday at Fal-
mout'-, with the Mexican mails. She sailed from Vtra
Cruz 27th January, Tampico 7th February, Havannah 22d
February. Her last advices from Mexico are to the 28th
February ; she brings about 800,000 &Marv, including
11,550 dollars on account of the Mexican dividends. Bt.s-
taa.ente was at Mexico, Santa Anna at Lis estate. Tne
leading feature of news by her is, that a body of either
Texians or Indians well armed, had mule a descent from
the north as far as Tanque, 15 miles from Catorco, making
dreadful ravages, burning every thing which fell in their
way, and carting off all the cattle which they fell in kith,
besides killing about 800 men, women, and children,
added to 200 young women, whom they arc said to hate
captured, but preserved their Eves, carrsiug them assay
captive:. On their retreat they were met from the city of
Sartillo by a body of Mexican?, headed by a gentleman,
called Buisson, a Ftenclaman, whom thay killed as well as
the whole of his party, two Mexicans excepted. The in-
habitants of Sartillo had made a representation to the go-
vernment of this dreadful calamity, and declared that, ua-
le is they took measures to protect them from such assaults,
they must take other means.
Blstamente's government was not liked, and in well in-
formed circles a secret revolution was said to be in agitation.
Estrada, well known by the Mexican politicians, was
obliged to fly from Mexico ; he came passenger in the
Shoidrake to the Havaanah, from Vera Cruc.

Several Texian men-of-war are said to be hovering over
the Mexican coast. A schooner was off Vera Cruz,

The British brig-of-war Victor, Captrin Dawson, was
at Tampico with Commissary-General Coffin, waiting to
convey spcc'e to Jamaica. Another (prize) slave schooner,
with 290 souls, to the Cleopatra, had arrive at the 1-la-
vannah ; these were to be taken to Nassau by the Meg
Lee, of Sunderland, and she was to be conveyed by the
Mexican man-of-war schooner, which the British Consul
had asked far, there being no English man-of-war at Ha-
vannah. The Meg Lee was to sail in a few days ; she
had just returned f•om Nasrau, whither she had carried the
Cleopatra's previous capture.
The packet Express, for the Leeward Isl Inds, and the
Ranger, for Mexico, are detained through stress of weather.
