LIVERPOOL COTTON MA . KET, FRIDAY.---The demand this
seek hr. 3 fallen much short of last. Con.equently the transac-
tions
are less extensive, with a greater degree of unsteadiners
in prices of all kinds, save Egyptian and Sea Islands, the latter
being still inclined to improvement. In other American
.iescriptions purchases are being made at id. per lb. under th•
highest point, particularly for qualities ranging from fair down-
wards. Surats may be had at a similar decline, and 13razils at
about id. under Friday's rates. Speculators have taken 3,000
bales of American, and 300 Surat. 630 America, 20 Bahia,
andilso Surat have been forwarded into the:country this month
unsold. Though there is not much animation in the Market
there is more disposition to business at the decline noticed
above, and the sales to-day are about 4,500 bags of all kinds.

soon require a loan, or funding of Exchequer Bills, several

the effect to damp the market.

DUTC /I AND FLANDERS MAIL.

ANTWERP, JAN. 27.—Fishermen who have arrived
to-day from Goedereede report that the Ocean steamer,
bound from London to Rotterdam, was aground there,
and that nothwithstanding all the efforts that were made,
it had not been posible to get her afloat.
HELVOETSLUYS. JAN. 26.—The English steamer,
Sir Edward Banks, Capt. Stranack, is still aground.
The people are landing their furniture.—Journal du
Commerce d'Anvers. Jan. 29.

The Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, of the `.29.h and
30th, does not make any mention of the Ocean steamer.
BERLIN, JAN. 10.—Accounts from St. Petersburgh
say that important changes are going to be made in the
Russian Legations. Among others, it is said that Ge-
❑eral Buteineff, now Ambassador at Constantinople,
will be sent to Naples, that Baron Brunow will be Ambas-
sador at Constantinople, and that Count Gourieff, now
Ambassador at the Court of Naples, will retire.
TRIESTE, JAN. IB.—Just before the departure of the
mail, the Metternich steamer has arrived from Syria.
The letters will most probably not be delivered to-day.
I can, therefore, only say, that, according to the report
made by Captain Zencpvich, nothing decided was
known respecting the fate of Mehemet Ali. The ac-
counts from Alexandria were of the 7th of this month.
Ibrahim Pacha, with the remainder of his army, was
still at Damascus.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 28.—The Avondbodc has the
following account from our in ian possessions :—ln the
island of Sumatra the state of things was on the whole
favourable. Some of the troops employed in the expe-
dition against Sinkel, had returned to Padang. and
thence to their usual quarters. Accounts from Ben-
coolen, say that the district of Caner had been invaded
on the 29th of June, by 500 Passumabs, and that
Linaw was invaded by 200 more, led by one Pangcran
Poeting, and a priest. These bands had destroyed some
buildings and proas, belonging to the natives, but all
necessary measures had been taken to restore tranquillity.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 16.—His Majesty the
Emperor has been pleased to order that Anatole Von
Domidoff, who was attached to the department of
foreign affairs, shall be dismissed from the service.

FAMOUS SHOEMAKER.—A correct catalogue
of shoemakers who have in any one way or other made
themselves remarkable would be a curious thing. It is
yet among the undiscoverable mysteries why ilustmin
should wear red plush breeches, and as unsuccessful
have been all attempts to account for those very
peculiar reflective habits to which the craft of Crispin
are notoriously addicted. The mere circumstance of the
fkcting turn ',resents no difficulty ; more or less it is
incident to all sedentary pursuits ; its especial tendencies
in the case of the shoemaker aro the great marvel. From
the turbulent days of Quaker Fox, and Reformers
Hans Sachs and Jacob Bohmen, to the scarcely lesr unruly
times of Radicals Holcroft and Hardy, we note, in this
most respectable trade, such a long list of religienisms,
"dicaligmg, jscobinisms, and every variety of isms, as we
find in no other class of men. It was against this tendency
indeed, the old proverb was launched, as far back as the
age of Appelles. Why is this? Can any one explain it?
Fitness is the object and endeavour of the trade. Is there
of necessity associated with it the restless impulse to dis-
cover in everything else an eternal unfitness. We wish we
could consult Philosopher Square.—Examiner.
A COLD BATH.—On the morning of Sunday
the 10th instant, eight persona underwent the ceremony of
baptism by immersion in the mill stream, near the iron and
tin works of H. R. Downman, Esq., Carmarthen. Of
the eight, six were females, and the whole most heroically
braved the plunge, with the thermometer at the freezing
point.
