LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. I.—Rather
better business has been done in the Cotton Market to-
day, the sales amounting to 5,000 bales, of which ex-
porters have, taken 300. American prices remain steady.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, SEPT. I.—The fol-
lowing comprise the transactions at the close of the
Stock Exchange :—Eastern Counties 8, Debentures 8.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, SEPT. I.—We
have had a very quiet Market, little business doing, and
no alteration in prices.

Her Majesty's packet Linnet has arrived with the mail
from Brazil ; the dates are Rio 8, Bahia 18, and Per-
nambuco 24th July. She has brought throe passengers,
and two boxes of diamonds on freight. No political
news of importance. The young Emperor was to be
crowned a week after the Linnet left. Exchange on
England was at 301, and the Six , per Cent. Local
Stock 71.

Her Majesty's brig Hope has arrived from Mexico ;
saileti from Tampico on the 7th July, Vera Cruz 10th,
and Havannah 27th. She has brought 15,000 dollars on
freight. No news of the least interest.
Her Maiesty's packet Tyrian has also arrived with a
mail from the West Indies. The dates are from Trinidad
16th, Demerara, 19th, Barbadoes, 21st, and Jamaica
29th July. The Barbadoes papers speak of the favour-
able change in the weather. The canes are improving,
and a general cultivation going on of corn, provisions,
&c. &c., the other papers do not contain any news of the
least interest. Perfect tranquility prevailed throughout
the islands.' The papers from Cornwall, the north side
of the island, state that the island is quiet and peaceable,
and we are happy to conclude from the general calm
which prevails, that dissentious have ceased and both
proprietors turd-peasantry are contented. Great effurts
are being made in every part of the island to increase
the coffee and sugar crops, and as the season promises
.to be favourable on the whole, we look forward to the
period when we shall be enabled to congratulate our
fellow colonists upon the success which has crowned
their efforts, and to convince the British public, maugre
all that has been said on the subject, that the
British sugar and coffee growers are capable of supply-
ing all their wants at reasonable and moderate rat's
without the intervention of the Brazil, Cuba, or any
other slave-holding and slave-trading country.

The wench Journals of Wednesday, like those of
Monday and Tuesday, are occupied' with M. Guizoes
speech, and the accession of the English Tories to
office. We have already given the substance of their
remarks so fully, that we may be excused the quotation
of articles in which there is nothing new in thought, or
remarkable in expression.
The corn and olive crops are represented as more
than ordinarily productive throughout France.
The Spanish Government is reported to have remitted
60,0001. on the 24th ult., to meet the more pressing
claims of the London bondholders.

At Gratz, on the 19th ult., the statue of the Emperor
Francis was inaugurated with great solemnity. The
Emperor Ferdinand and the Empress were present. In
the procession waked a number of Bishops and Abbots
in full canonicals.

M. Thiers was received by the King of Prussia on the
19th. He went to Court in the dress of a member of the
Academic Francais. The audience lasted less than a
quarter of an hour. Next day the ex-Minister quitted
Berlin, on his way to Dresden, Prague, and Vienna.

pußscac OPXWION.
The Morning Post thus extols the excellence of the
new Tory Cabinet :—" It would be idle in us to claim
fur a Cabinet thus constituted the confidence of the

country. There is not one of its Members who is not
already well known to the people of England, or who
has not by his past conduct in public life earned for him-
self a high place in their confidence and esteem." As
respects Sir James Graham, never was compliment so
misplaced as the above. What is there in his past con-
duct. that can entitle him to public esteem ? The utmost
that can be said of him is, that he is a lucky
apostate, who, after having been kicked out of his own
county with contempt, and rejected with equal contempt at
Pembroke, haS at length contrived to wriggle himself
into the lucrative post of Home Secretary. And .the
Duke of Duckingham, too ! . Is there anything in his
conduct to justify the praises of our Contemporary ! He
is known to the people at large only us the repre-
sentative of the Monopolist land-holders ; and his acces-
sion to office will be regarded as a proof that little or no

substantial Reform will. be made in the Corn-laws. As

for the Earl of Ripon, though a disciple of Huskisson,
he may be supposed to be imbued with some liberal
free trade views, yet he is notoriously a timid, vacillating
statesman, and is chiefly remarkable for having taken
fright at the battle of Navarino ; broken up the Admi-
nistration of which he was the head, in breathless haste ;
and bolted from Downing-street, without even venturing
to face Parliament ! And this man is President of the
Board of Trade, the very post of all others which, at a
period like the present, requires the utmost energy and
decision of character
The Ckronich speaks of the New Poor-law in the fol-
lowing terms :—" Whatever opinion may be entertained
respecting minor details, the law is working well ; and
not a few of those who made use of the unpopularity
of the measure, in order to crawl into Parliament, under
the shelter of misrepresentation and excitement, will
now, doubtless, vote for its continuance ; and should
some of their disappointed constituents ask them the
reason why, their answer may be given in the words of
Cruikshank's long-nosed bribed voter, "Not a word

about the ducks 1" One thing is wanting to extract
the sting from some of the necessary but apparently
hard and harsh enactments of the New Poor-law. Re-
peal the Corn-laws, or at least modify them : then,
when you have taken from the labourer pauper's bread,
and given him the free bread of industry, you can hold
up your
heads. unabashed in the presence of the people,
and gentbnien need not bustle to the hustings with " a
lie in their right hand !"
The Herald observes—" A great portion of the House
of Commons is far behind the intelligence of the edu-
cated portion of the community ; and it would, under
an extended suffrage, be an assembly intolerable from its
ignorance and resumption. The exposure of this fact
lis greatly owing to adjourned debates,' which are
gradually becoming a positive nuisance. It is in the
power of the Ministerial leader to put an end to this
waste of public time,"and. obstruction of national busi-
ness ; for, being at the head of a majority, he can always,
with temperate firmness and decision, defeat the motion

for adjournment, and bring the real question before the
House to an early decision."—We echo the Herall re-
mark that a great portion of the House of Commons is
far behind- the intelligence of the educated portion of
the community. And the reason is obvious. The mo-
nopolists and country-gentlemen landholders—not usually
the most enlightened of beings.—are predominant therein.
Even supposing. that these men possessed the average
allowance of intelligence, still their interests, advice, and
prejudices, would disqualify them for sagacious legisla-
sion. With respect- to the suggestion to the " Minis-
terial leader," to put a stop to speechifying, we doubt not.
he would gladly avail himself of it, if he could, for
Whig and 'Radical Members aro sometimes apt to blust
out truths that must be very offensive to Tory ears.
The- Times observes, in an article defining some of the
More important duties of the new Government —" The
most difficult part of the duty of the new Government,
in the present anomalous predicament of society in Eng-
land and Ireland, will be to distinguish, clearly and
constantly, between toleration' and liberalism.' The
one is an essential principle of the constitution ; the
other is absolutely opposed to it. The only real
friends of toleration are those who know where to stop."
This is a knowledge that the Tories possess in perfec-
tion. Their self-interests have here uniformly stepped
in to the assistance of their, . natural cunning, and
taught them " where tp,stop." Indeed, the art of stop-
ping is the. only ,art which they have practised with un-
deviating consistency. They have been stopping every
Session for the last fifty years and upwards ; and, not
content with stopping themselves, have compelled almost
every valuable reform to stop also. To be consistent to
the last—and we trust they will be so—they should
take an early opportunity of putting a full stop to their
own Administration, and leave the task of governing to
those who know, not simply when to stop, but when to go
forward.
In another article the Times thus mildly. and be-.
nignantly speculates on the future sufferings of O'Con-
nell :—" When the tellers announced the majority of
ninety-one, the knell of O'Connellism was tolled. Now,
it is quite right that the indocile spirit which formerly
animated that lifeless carcase should pass into purgatory
in the usual canonical way. It has a frightful amount of
iniquity to get rid of. We hardly know of any fires that
can sufficiently purify it. The Parliamentary ordeal,
however, which still awaits. iris a pretty hot one. Its
libels upon the women -of England will be burnt to tin-
der. Its calumnies upon the " six hundred scoundrels"
will be consumed in « blaze. Its money malversations
upon the factory question will demand extra fuel. Its
venal boroughinongering must crackle in the flaming
furnace. Its rent extortions will be reduced to ashes :
and after the bellows and crucible have taken their
inevitable effect, Mr. Daniel O'Connell will be delivered
to his executors in the form of a calcined mummy."
There is an amount of torture proposed to be inflicted
on one solitary individual ! Why, the Smithfield fires
were nothing to it ! Not only is O'Connell to have his
" frightful amount of iniquity" purged away in purga-
tory ; but previous to this, he is to be " reduced to
ashes," " burnt to tinder," and then " delivered to his
executors in the form of a calcined mummy !" Our
Contemporary has been often convinced of absurd, intem-
perate declamation, but he has fairly surpassed himself.
The Dublin Evening Post,. commenting on the debate
on the Address, remarks as follows :—" The very fac-
tion now virtually in office, grounded their opposition to
the Address, on the pretence that the alteration in the
Sugar Duties would be injurious to the Free Negro Po-
pulation of the Colonies—they—the patrons of the
Slave Trade—the opposers of the Abolitionists—taking
credit for their humanity, forsooth, and high principle.
But this is only one amongst the innumerable practical
lies of which they have been guilty. Indeed, it is upon
the maintenance and the propagation of such lies as
these, that their very existence, as a party, depends."
The Worcester Chronicle remarks, in an article sug-
gested by the late debate—" The debate in the Com-
mons, though it has resulted unfavourably to the mea-
sures of free trade, by which Ministers had honourably
determined to stand or fall, will go far to prove that the
Liberal party have right in their favour, though their
opponents are mightier than they. Though they were
out-numbered on the division, they had an immense pre-
ponderance of facts and arguments in their favour.
