LIVERPOOL, Nov. 8.

Considering the late period of the year there has latterly
been a very good demand for the staple commodities of our
market. In the present week the import of Cotton amounts
to 7,169 bales, of which only a small portion is American,
whilst our sales arc to the extent of 37,100 bales, viz.:-
12,200 Bowed qd. to 10d. ; 14,480 Orleans Bd. to 11d. ;
6,640 Mobile Bd. to 104-(1. ; 30 Sea Islands 191(1. to 22d. ;
30 Stained 14d. to 15d. ; 1,370 Pernams 12i-d. to 14d. ; 300
Bahias to 12d. ; 320 Maranhams 120. to 124 d. ; 40
Carthagena 7 d. ; 670 Laguayra 10fd. to 11d. ; 10 Para
1 lid. ; 40 Smyrna 81d. ; 260 Egyptian 15kd. to 16d. ; 760
Surats 6id. lid.
The demand has been more extensive during the last few
(lays from the trade as well as speculators. The accounts
from New York are up to the 16th ult., and calculate the
crop being a month later than usual. Although the crop is
estimated as being a full one, yet the wants of the consumers
are considered to surpass the supplies. The crop of Sea
Islands is said to have sustained much injury from blight and
severe weather. Of uplands the crop is set down at 1,270,000
bales, and it is certain the opening will be very high.

We have raised our quotations d. on the better qualities
of American ; while id. is obtained here and there on low
Americans.

We have a public sale of 3,000 Surats on Friday next.
Speculators have this week taken 20,600 bales, of which
20,000 are American, 100 Pernams, and 500 Surats.
Exporters have taken 200 bales, Surats and American.
Our stock is now a matter of importance ; it is only 141,500,
being 100,000 bales less than on this day last year.
Sales to-day 3,000 bales, with a full demand from the trade.
There has been no speculation to-day. Prices are now Id.
to lid per lb. higher for Americans than on this day last year.
Spinners on the average have taken 15,000 bales weekly.

THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.—ThQ subject of
these volumes is a grand one. Of this the reader need
scarcely be reminded, but the following passage will perhaps
cause the work to be more fully appreciated. Nearly seven-
teen centuries had rolled away, when the city of Pompeii was
disinterred from its silent tomb, all vivid with undimmed hues
—its walls fresh as if painted yesterday—not a tint fAdPci in
the rich mosaic of its floors—in its form tho halt-finished
columns as loft by the yinrkluants haads—before the trees in
its gardens thesadrlileial tripod—in its halls the chest of trea-

No Ministerial arrangement appears yet to be come to,
the Moniteur being still silent on the subject. The Jour-
nal des Debates says —" No new Ministry was composed at
twelve o'clock last night. Innumerable different arrange-
ments were talked of in the course of the day, but none of
them are confirmed." The Constitutionnel has the follow-
ing :—" A fact which, if it be real, may give the key to that
long and lamentable farce to which France has for several
days been a witness, is the arrival of Marshal Soult at Paris.
If we may believe some well-informed persons, the Marshal
had scarcely alighted from his carriage when be went to the
Tuileries, to attend a Council with his late and future col-
leagues. This accounts for the extraordinary activity of M.
Thiers, who being acquainted with the solution of the enigma,
and knowing in petto the name of the definitive President
of the Council, gave himself all the trouble of composing
an impossible Ministry, and of offering places to all those
whom he knew were determined not to accept. We
cannot so well comprehend the benevolent complai-
sance of Count Mole, who probably did not suspect
that the Ministry be was employed to form was pre-
viously agreed upon, and that the President he was in
search of had been already found. The ineffectual Presi-
dency of M. Humann, which was ephemeral as that of
Count Mole ceased no doubt the moment the Marshal en-
tered the Council, though merely as a simple spectator. If
Marshal Soult was not actually Pres.dent of the Council
last night, then the arrangement of M. Humann holds good,
though we never considered it to be serious, notwithstand-
ing the striking precedent of M. de Villele, who was seven
years Minister of the Finances and President of the Coun-
cil." The Temps affirms that M. Dupin has not been to
the Tuileries, neither has he received any mission, nor seen
any political personage, on the subject of constructing a new
Ministry. The National states that the Ministers will re-
main in office, and that the Duke de Broglie is to be Pre-
sident of the Council. The new War Minister is not y-ci
known. The Impartial says—" Yesterday M. Pcr..sil and
Count Mole proceeded in company to the King, and Mar-
shal Molitor is spoken of for the War Department."
The statement made by the Quotidienne, as to the noti-
fication given by Prince Butera of the acknowledgement of
Don Carlos by the King of the Two Sicilies is contra-
dicted by the Ilt'movateur, another Legitimatist journal, as
also by the Courrier Francais.

By a Royal ordinance, dated the 30th ult., the King de-
clares that two bulls, dated at Rome on the eve of the Ca-
lends of October, conferring canonical institutions upon
Jacques Marie Adrien Cesaire Mathieu, as Archbishop of
Besancon, and Paul Naudo, as Bishop of Nevers, shall be
received in France, and published in the usual form, but
adds that these bulls are received without approbation of
the clauses, formula), or expressions they contain which may
be contrary to the constitutional charter, the laws of the
kingdom, or the franchises, liberties, and maxims of the
Gallican church. On Tuesday last the Archbishop of Be-
sancon and the Bishop of Nevers took the usual oats
before the King.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 4th instant b"..s the follow-
ing from Frankfort of the Ist :—" The 4.rst sitting of the
Diet subsequently to the arrival of fae President took place
this day. The matter under discussion was the further
continued occupation of Frankfort by the Austrian and
Prussian contingent. Doubtless the Diet has the right of
providing for a temporary occupation, but in order to render
it permanent, a new legislative enactment on the part of
the Diet is required. The Gazette quotes the funds at
Vienna on the 30th ult., Metallics, 5 per Cents., 99i ;
4 per Cent. ditto, 92i ; Bank Actions, 1515.
The Berlin State Gazette quotes the Prussian funds on
the Ist instant. Four per Cents.—cash 99, paper 99k.
The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 2d instant has the
following :—" By the protocol concluded at Paris on the
3d of November, 1815, it was decided that Mentz, Lux-
emburg, and Landau, should be declared fortresses of the
Germanic Confederation, and that a fourth federal fortress
should be constructed on the Upper Rhine. Moreover, it
had been decided that France should pay 5,000,000 francs
for the completion of the fortifications of Mentz, 20,000,000
to Prussia for the construction of a fortress on the Lower
Rhine, 20,000,000 for that of the Upper Rhine, and
15,000,000 to Bavaria also for the construction of fortifica-
tions on the Lower Rhine, in the environs of Gernershiem.
The works of Mentz are concluded. Prussia has fortified
Coblentz, Ehrenbreitstein, and Cologne ; and now that Ba-
varia is commencing the fortification of Gemersheim, there
will be no passage on the Upper Rhine. All the western
frontier of Germany will be thus in a state of defence
against France. Other works are going on in the East.
A strong citadel has been constructed by Prussia at Posen,
and Austria is executing important works at Brixen.
Enough, then, has been done of late years for securing the
independence of Germany."

The Frankfurt ..lournl of the sth inst. has the following :
" Prince William of Prussia, Governor of the Federal For-
tress of Mentz, arrived on the 2d at Darmstadt, on a visit
to the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess. After having
dined at the Grand Ducal Palace, he returned in the even-
ing to Mentz. Yesterday morninz the Dowager Princess
of Tour and Taxis arrived here, and after having partaken
of a collation at the Grand Ducal Palace, continued her
journey to the castle of Taxis. Prince Emilius accompa-
nied her Highness to Auerbach. This morning PriEteP,
Emilius visited Crown Prince of Prussia at Mentz."
Letters from Nauplia, dated September , announce
that Greece is enjoying profound tro':.quillity, and King
Otho had returned in full h:::ith from his tour in the
Eastern provinces, havir-'
• --0 been every where received with
every token of
7vetcome. At several places the inhabitants
went a whole day's journey to meet him.
The Members of the Municipal Council of Fresnoy-sur-
Sarthe have unanimously resigned their posts. The journals
of that part of the country do not give any cause for this
extraordinary step.
PARIS, Nov. B.—Nothing is concluded with respect to
the Ministry. What was true for a moment yesterday
with respoct to M. Humann has failed, it is said, in conse-
quence of the impossibility of making Messrs. Thiers and
Guizot agree ;so that all is again uncertain. No person
is even now spoken of as commissioned to unite the ele-
ments of a Cabinet ; and of all these attempts the only one
that still survives is the fixed idea of replacing Marshal
Soult at the head of the Council.

It will doubtless be hardly believed that the return of
the old Marshal (Soult) can be seriously thought of; but
it seems that this is a fixed idea in a high quarter, and it
is even affirmed that intimate confidants have seen a cer-
tain sheet of paper, on which are inscribed the names of
the persons who have given their assent to the formation of
the new Cabinet, constituted with the Marshal as President.
The Chamber of Commerce of Rheims has called toge-
ther the merchants of that town, to give their opinion on
the great question of abolishing the prohibition of foreign
manufactures, and imposing a protecting duty instead.
The merchants have sent M. Caune, one of the principal
manufacturers, to the Committee of Inquiry, to state the
grounds which make the great majority of the manufac-
turers of Rheims fear that the measure proposed would
lead to the immediate ruin of our establishments.

The Chamber of Commerce of Metz recommends a
protecting duty in lieu of prohibition, and the reduction of
duties on raw materials.— illessager, Nov. 8.

BOURSE, SATURDAY, 3 O'CLOCK.-The market has been
to-day remarkably steady, scarcely any business has been
done in any of the securities. The different parties are
looking wish eagerness fcr the composition of the Ministry ;
it is reported that all the ci-dcvanl Ministers have re-ac-
cepted office, and that the reconstruction of the Cabinet
has been intrusted to M. Guizot, who was to send in his
answer this day, at I o'clock : however, nothing snore on
the subject has transpired. The 3 per Cents. aro 79f. to
