ILTIMOURS or THE 1211. Y.

It is stated that a most influential Member of the
House of Commons intends to move, as soon as possible;
for a Select Committee to inquire into the state of Ire-
land, and to collect a mass of evidence relative to the
outrages that were committed, in violation of law and
the freedom of election, throughout Ireland, with a view
to statutable enactment.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
LIVEr.I.OOI. COTTON MAIIKT, AUG. 6.—The de-
pressed state of trade in Manchester, from whence each
successive account appears more gloomy, has had its due
influence upon our Cotton Market, and the pretty gene-
ral opinion that manufacturers will be again obliged to
adopt the system of working only four days per week
has induced holders to submit to a further decline of id.
per lb. in most descriptions, with some anxiety to realise.
Speculators have taken 1,000 bales and exporters 2,000
bales of American. Bales.

The ►ransactions in the Produce Markets this week
have not generally been favourable to the sellers, though
an average business has been done. Sugar has fallen,
which, indeed, it may well do if the poorer classes (we
might almost include those of the middling sphere too)
are to have any of the comforts of life at all. The con-
sumption of the article has been decreasing this year,
another proof of the loss entailed on the revenue by the
high prices. Then, again, while the community at large
are suffering, and will suffer still more yet, by the advance
in corn, the national income does not benefit, as most of
the foreign wheat will come in at a lower rate, no doubt,
than that proposed by Ministers as a permanent duty,
viz., Bs. per quarter. Tea has been steadier this week,
anti or the sake of the consumers, we are
glad-to-sec that the advance has gone no further. -Tal-
low, ss the season advances, excites more attention, and
Cotton is falling, both here and at Liverpool, owing to
the stagnation in our manufactures.

Saturday an alarm. of fire was raise, in ti.
House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, when it was dis-
covered to proceed from the wash-house of the female
prison, but.was speedily extinguished by the timely as-
sistance of the prison engines and the help of the officers
of the prison. The Governor being on the spot at the
time, zealously assisted, and humanely ordered every
prisoner in the Female prison to be unlocked in the event
of danger. The amount of damage is considerable in gap
machinery of that department. No blame is attached ;,9
any one, the fire originating accidentally.
