INSOLVENTS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

William Hill, a clerk in the East India House, was
opposed in person by a creditor named Grouse.
The opposition was not instituted with the view of
prolonging the imprisonment of the insolvent, hut to obtain
an appropriation of his salary towards the liquidation of
his debts. It appeired that his salary, independent of per-
quisites, amounted to 1201. a year; he had a numerous
family to support, and had been much embarrassed, owing
to the continual indisposition of his wife.
The opposing creditor said his debt was for clothes.
He had no hostile feeling against his debt.ir, but only
wanted a portion of his salary set aside for the benefit of
himself and the other creditors.
The Uarned CHIEF CONIMISSIONER said the insolvent
would leave the Court without the slightest imputation on
his character, but, as an insolvent deaor, he must make
sacrifices to compensate his creditors.
The insolvent was discharged, and the sum of 20/. a
year ordered to be set aside towards the gradual liquida-
tion of his debts.

CITY, TWEL VE O'CLOCK.

The only foreign mail this morning is from Malta, by
the Columbia steamer, which sailed on the 10th January
from Corfu, the 20th January from Gibraltar, and on the
21st from Cadiz.

The following is posted at the North and South
American Coffee-house, dated Falmouth, Jai. 27:—The
Columbia steam packet arrived this afternoon from the
Mediterranean, last from Gibraltar, only six days ; from
there the English squadron was expected at Malta, a week
after the Columbia sailed.

COMMERCIAL.—( Front the London Mercantile Jour-
nal ..f yesteiday.)--The transactions in Colonial produce,
by public sale, since our last, have been numerous but not
heavy, and not confined to any particular articles. The
great number of sales has not, however, caused any altera-
tion of moment in prices, which may be said to stand their
ground. It was thought, in the earl•er part of the week,
hoar the ext •nt of business, that prices would decline, but
such anticipation has not been realiz,d, and the week has
passed away very s•tti•factorily on the whole. Nearly
3,000 hhds. of British Plantation Sag 4r have passed into
different hands during the we k, at full former prices. Our
imports have again been inconsiderable, owing to the con-
trary winds. The Money Market has been very quiet this
week.
We have very few arrivals this morning ; and the
French mail still contirm. s due.
Consols opened at the saute price they left off yesterday

Since our former articl4 has been written, the French
Mail has arrived, and the private letters bring the rentes
higher, 751. 55c. ; also Sp inish Stork at 21 ; but we do not
hew of any news of importance by the above letter,.
We have a report that our Government has receivtd the
answer from the Emperor of Russia, which is of a pacific
&script ion.
Consols continue firm at SSi for the Account, although

Up to the present hour we do not hear of any fresh ar-

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JAN. 27--
We have had a very brisk demand for cotton to-day.
The sale. are 4,000, chiefly American descriptions, at an
advance of id. per lb. on our quotation of last week.
I HE WEATHER.--Extract of a letter from
the South of Hampshire :--•' It is expected that ills floods
will be up shortly. The country in our neighbourhood
lies rather low, and after heavy rains, and of long duration,
the springs, v.hich are generally at great depii, rise anti
lay the country quite under water, to the great damage of
property. Some idea may be formed of the violence of the
inundation n hen it is stated that many of the wells,
though upwards of one hundred and fifty feet deep, contii-
bute their share in the devastation by their overflow. This
will be the third time we have been so vis Led dur:ng 12
heart." Great tears are entertained for the wheat, should
this weather continue. Tlic plants must rot, and thmild
a frost arrive they would Almost elually suffer.
