for tie use of Colonel Adair's battalion of Marines, the
Government inferring that a necessity may arise for this
force moving into active service. Under supposition that
a reinforcement also may possibly be required in the same
quarter, instructious are forwarded to Plymouth for the
Revenge, 78, to be ready for sea without her lower deck
guns, in order to convey troops. For so short a distance,
she would thus be enabled to carry another thousand

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY
13.—The business transacted in our cotton market during
the week has bee❑ again great, and a further advance has
been realized of -id. per lb. on all descriptions. The
highest price paid was on Wednesday last, when the sales
made, particularly those on speculation, were very large,
and though since that day the market has been quite
steady, yet, from the inquiry being more limited, there
has been some difficulty in obtaining extreme quotations.
The sales of the week, including 17,200 American, 400
Pernams, 250 Maranhains, and 1,150 Surats, taken on
speculation, amount to 36,320 bags. Import 10,154
bags. There have been few inquiries for cotton to-day.
The sales an►ount to only 2,500 bags, 500 of which were
take❑ on speculation. Prices have fallen id. per lb. since
the highest quotation of Wednesday.
