THAMES TUNNEL.—This morning, at low
water. in consequence of a depression of a loose bed of gravel
over the excavation of the Thames Tunnel, on the north shore,
a settlement took place. It was filled up by the usual means
before the tide rose over it. We are happy to state that no in-
crease in the influx of water into the Tunnel took place at the
time, nor since, and it is quite safe.
LUDLOW ELECTlON.—Yesterday at the usual
hour the Committee resumed their labours, and several of the
witnesses were subjected to a long, as well as rigorous examina-
tion and cross-examination, with the result of which the
Tory newspapers affect to be mightily well satisfied—their
lo Artois, be they real or simulated, are equally ludicrous.
After the resolution, as before reported in our paper, the fol
lowing are the words to be added :—" But the Committee re-
serve to themselves the power, upon' the especial application of
eo of
publicGra n to.
counsel, to proceed with any case which tend to inculpate any
agent or principal, the knowledge of which case has been
brought out before the committee in the progress of the inves-
tigation, and of which the parties could not have been reason-
ably supposed to have been previously cognizant."

INVERNESS-SHIRE ELECTION.—On Tuesday
last Mr. H. Baillie was elected Member of Parliament for the
in the room of the late
county of Inverness without opposition,
effort, and energy of action are all that are necessary to. early
success. No ministry can hope to withstand the industrial in-

Idurance of the insult by the bread-eaters who will have bread,

and the tradesmen, manufacturers, and merchants, who decline

FICTIONS OF THE STANDARD.—We have
received a letter from the Secretary of the Anti-Corn.law
Association
of Briciport, contradicting the " falsehoods and
misrepresentations" of the Standard, relative to the petitions
for the abolition of the Corn-laws from Bridport and the neigh-
bourhood. It states that the Bridport petition received 1,500
signatures in four or five days, that not more than twenty boys
under ten years of age signed it, that the statement of the
correspondent of our contempetary that inducements had been
held out to sign the Burton petition, is " a base fabrication ;"
that the inhabitants of the villages of Powerstock and Milton
were warned by the clergyman rgainst signing a petition, and
1 in consequence no signatures were received, and that the as.
sertkin that the petition afterwar..:s got up was signed by chil-
dren without the consent of their parents " is without founda-
tion." We have received a letter on the same subject from .
Macclesfield, denying
the statements of the Corn-law Journal
of that town, with regard to the petition presented by Mr.
Brocklehurst on Monday, and at the same time adding that it
received the soluntary signatures of 3,000 persons in two days,
inel'iding ninety of the most wealthy manufacturers, four Ma-
gistrates, and twenty of the Town Council.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Halifax papers to the Bth March, Havannah to the 22d
February, and Mexican to the 14th January, have been re-
ceived at the North•and South American Coffee-house.

LIvERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have had
again a large business doing this week, both speculators and
exp.irters, as well as the trade, buying freely ; the supply of
American descriptions in the market at full prices being at the
same time equal to the demand, save for better classes in bond
for export. In the middling and lower qualities h advance
had been obtained, and for the better our extreme quotations of
last week. Brazils and Pernams, owing to the very limited
stock on hand, are telly *per lb. higher ; and Egyptian also
improved. The Sea I.land at auction to-day sold steady at full
rates. Speculators have taken 5,000 Americans and 150 Per-
nams; and exporters 3,500 Americans, 50 Pernanis, 100 Bahia,
450 Egyptian, and 320 Surat. The sales to-day are upwards
of 5,000 bales of all kinds, market closing steadily.

The only arrivals this morning are the French mail and the
Great Western steamer from New York, which arrived at
Bristol early on Friday morning, by which American papers
have been received to the 20th ult.
