LIVERPOOL-TUESDAY.

At this day's market there was only a slender attend-
ance of the town and country trade, and but a small busi-
ness was done. Wheat and flour, with a slow retail sale,
may be quoted ld to 2d per 100 lb, and 6d per sack lower
than on Friday, where sales were made. In oats and oat-
meal there was little done, and no change in value to note.
The same remark applies to barley, beans, and peas. Indian
corn was in limited request., and 29s 6d per 4801 b was the
extreme value of prime mixed American.

BAILY'S TURF GUIDE FOR 1866.—The winter
edition of this valuable guide is always looked forwai d to
with great interest by sporting men. In the present num-
ber will be found the nominations for 1866, and entries for
the great stakes of 1867, with the horses indexed, and their
pedigrees ; a calendar of all races and steeplechases in
Great Britain, Ireland, France, Belgium, and Baden-Baden
for 1665 ; with a complete index, colours of the riders,
lengths of courses, sales of blood stock, laws of racing, list
of trainers, jockeys, &c., as well as the winners of all the
groat prizes from their commencement. On the frontis-
piece there is a life-likeness of Jemmy Grimshaw, one of
the best light-weight jockeys of the ago. Now that the
entries for all the important spring handicaps will shortly
be published, we would strongly recommend it as an in-
valuable guide to those who engage in turf pursuits.

The Great Fire in St. Katharine's Docks.

We are happy to state that this morning, owing
to the indefatigable exertions of the new Metropoli-
politan Brigade, under Captain Shaw, his four
chief officers, and the land and steam floating
engines by Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co., with
the aid of Beck and Co.'s hydraulic, and the boun-
tiful supply of water on the land side furnished by
the East London Company, the fire may now be
said to be entirely got under. The land steamers
have been " knocked off," and all the machines at
present required to be worked are the steam floats,
which are throwing four or five tons weight of
water per minute upon the still smouldering ruins,
and it is now expected that the fire will be entirely
extinguished by the end of a week or so.

THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam
ship Ripon, Captain Rogers, with the above mails,
has arrived. She brings 97 passengers, and specie
valued at £4lll, also 874 packages cargo, of which
354 are bales of raw silk valued at 00,000,

From St. Vincent to Ushant the Ripon expe-
rienced strong S.W. gales, with squalls of rain
and heavy sea ; up the Channel strong westerly
breezes and cloudy weather.

Her Majesty's ships Royal Oak, Victoria, Cale-
donia, Gibraltar, Meeanee, Resistance, Enterprise,
Firefly, Psyche, Pelican, Racer, Assurance, Hiber-
nia, Cockatrice, Caradoc, Cossack, and Arethusa
were at Malta.

GIBRALTAR, Dec. 28.

The steamer Borysthenes has been wrecked on
the coast of Algiers ; she Litiuck upon a rock off
Cape Blanco, near Oran. Of 300 passengers on
board between 30 and 40 perished. Commandant
Juge of the Engineers, Captain Lafond of the 2d
Chasseurs, and seven of the crew are amongst those
lost. The whole of the cargo was lost, but the re-
mainder of the passengers and crew suceeeded in
reaching Plane Island, from whence they have been
conveyed to Oran.
The British brigantine Farmer's Lass, from
Swansea, lost foretopmast off Cape St. Vincent ;
and the Princess Royal lost bulwarks, &c., off the
Island of Sicily.

Her Majesty's ships Racoon and Skylark are in

The Production of Cotton.

Before the American war that country supplied
3,400,000 bales out of the 4,225,000 delivered for
consumption in all Europe, or more than three-
quarters. The cutting off of this supply by the
war, and the very high prices that prevailed for five
years, stimulated foreign production to the utmost.
We look to the results for evidence of the ability of
other countries to compete with the United States.
Four countries were looked to for the new supply—
the East Indies, Brazil, West Indies,:and the Medi-
terranean country. In the East Indies special
efforts were made to extend the culture, which in-
creased from a delivery in Europe of 573,000 bales
of 400 pounds in 1860—which was the production
under the old order of things --to 1,258,000 in 1863 ;
1,607,00.0 in 1864, and declined to 1,320,000 in
1865.

There are other signs that the increase in that
country has culminated, even in the face of the
high prices of last year. In the Presidency of
Madras there were last autumn only 931,727 acres
of cotton under cultivation, against 1,063,300 acres
the year before. From Egypt and Syria the imports
were 158,000 bales in 1860, and 837,000 in 1865,
with strong symptoms of a decline in production.
Brazil has disappointed the great expectations
based on her. Her delivery in Europe was 106,000
bales in 1860, and 149,000 in 1865. Expecta-
tions of any supply from China and Japan have
been abandoned.

Even at the high prices of several years past the
foreign production of cotton appears to have culmi-
nated. It is evident that America will still control
the markets of the world, even at much higher
prices than prevailed before the war.

General Meeting of the Jockey Club.

-

The annual general meeting of the Jockey Club
will be held at Newmarket, after the races, on Wed-
nesday next, when the following proposals will be
made :
By the Stewards :

Whereas, it is enacted by the 65th Rule that, in
estimating the value of any prize, no deductions
shall be made except of the winner's own stake, and
of any sum or sums required by the conditions to
be paid out of the stakes to the owners of any other
horse or horses in the race ; and a practice has been
introduced of advertising prizes in money with de-
ductions varying from 25 to 10 per cent. to be re-
turned by the winners, to their double injury,
inasmuch as such subtractions cannot be recognised
in estimating the value of prizes, and a winner of
100 sovs Plate with 20 deducted is obliged to carry
the extra penalty of weight imposed upon winners
of 100 sovs, we propose that the Jockey Club should
appeal to the stewards of country races, the racing
committees, and the lessees to discontinue this ob-
noxious and unfair system, and to advertise the real
net addition only.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

There were only two or three charges of drunkenness
brought before- Mr. Knox this morning, a rather remark-
able circumstance, considering that a holiday has inter-
vened since the last sitting of the court.
PLAYING AT PITCH AND Toss IN HYDE-PARK.—Two
boys, named Randell and Townsend, were charged with
playing at pitch and toss in Hyde-park, with a number of
other boys, yesterday (Good Friday) afternoon.
The case was proved by Millin, a park constable, who
also stated that the boys wero making use of very bad
language. _ _

The boys said they were not tossing for money, but for
partners, as they were going to play at Cricket.
Mr. Knot said he believed the park constable, and fined
the boys 2s. 6d. each.

NEW YORK, MARCH 21 (Evening).

Testimonial to Lord Palmerston.

The late Premier took a great interest in the
prosperity of our town and county, being one of the
largest proprietors in both ; to all our charities he
was a generous benefactor, never having been
known to refuse any appeal ; and to the churches
of every sect he was liberal in subscribing. When
he got possesion of his Cliffony estate in 1837, then
almost as populous as a rabbit warren, with upwards
of 1,100 holdings on the rundale system, he managed
by kindess to get the whole estate squared and the
rents reduced to their value, many of the tenants
having voluntarily gone to America, their passages
paid and arrears of rents forgiven. He endowed the
Roman Catholic Church with eleven acres of a glebe
and a good house, offering double that quantity of
land to the vicar of the parish, which, we believe, is
only let from year to year, to be given to the Church
of England when it will be accepted by the incum-
bent. On his Cliffony estate he erected the harbour
of Mullaghmore, at an outlay of nearly £16,000, to
save the lives of the fi,hermen and encourage the
fisheries of Donegal Bay, while he expended very
large sums in drainage and other improvements. As
a great statesman, he was the friend of civil and
religious liberty at home and the upholder of his
country's honour abroad (the name of a Briton
being, like that of the Roman citizen of old,
respected wherever the flag was unfurled), and
one of the best of Irish landlords, we think that
testimonials or monuments worthy of the man
should be erected in the town and county. On
the top of the hill of Mullaghmore an object
would be seen from all parts of Donegal Bay and
large portions of the counties of Sligo, Leitrim,
Fermanagh, and Donegal. A pillar of Mullagh-
more granite, with a design on the top, would be a
conspicuous landmark, costing little ; but the
great testimonial should be raised in our town,
either by restoring the old Abbey of Sligo, which
we believe was the intention of the late Viscount,
and should this be carried out by Lady Palmerston,
then a monument on the Green Fort or Cairns Hill.
We have no doubt but the country gentlemen will
be most willing to join, as the Hampshire gentry
of all parts did, in raising a fitting testimonial to one
of whom his great opponent, the late Sir Robt. Peel,
said, " We are all proud." A requisition to the High
Sheriff to call a county meeting would be desirable
to promote the object.—Sligo Independent.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

DERBY—TmsDAY.
The market was held to-day (to-morrow being Good
Friday), and there was a small supply of wheat on offer,
for which the inquiry was inactive, at prices tending
downwards. The demand for barley was firm, and rather
more money was realised. We had a middling show of
oats, which maintained their value. Beans rather better
sale.
New white wheat, 48s to 50s; old red, 50s to 51s per 36
stone. Barley for malting, 38s to 40s per qr. ; grinding,

blessed service." (Applause.) I speak now to
many such labourers. There are in this assembly
those who for various periods-10, 20, 30, pro-
bably some for 40 years--have given their time
to these labours. I feel, and I say it with all
sincerity, that I am unworthy to be among you
except as a humble listener and a learner ; but I
venture to offer you, however little it be worth, the
tribute of my admiration and of my reverence, for
the unwearied labour you have given to instruct and
to train up in all that is good so many millions of
our countrymen. (Great applause.)

Testimonial to Lord Palmerston.

The late Premier took a great interest in the
prosperity of our town and county, being one of the
largest proprietors in both ; to all our charities he
was a generous benefactor, never having been
known to refuse any appeal ; and to the churches
of every sect he was liberal in. subscribing. When
he got possesion of his Cliffony estate in 1837, then
almost as populous as a rabbit warren, with upwards
of 1,100 holdings on the rundale system, he managed
by kindess to get the whole estate squared and the
rents reduced to their value, many of the tenants
having voluntarily gone to America, their passages
paid and arrears of rents forgiven. He endowed the
Roman. Catholic Church with eleien acres of a glebe
and a good house, offering double that quantity of
land to the vicar of the parish, which, we believe, is
only let from year to year, to be given to the Church
of England when it will be accepted by the incum-
bent. On his Cliffony estate he erected the harbour
of Mullaghmore, at an outlay of nearly £16,000, to
save the lives of the fishermen and encourage the
fisheries of Donegal Bay, while he expended very
large sums in drainage and other improvements. As
a great statesman, he was the friend of civil and
religious liberty at home and the upholder of his
country's honour abroad (the name of a Briton
being, like that of the Roman citizen of old,
respected wherever the flag was unfurled), and
one of the best of Irish landlords, we think that
testimonials or monuments worthy of the man
should be erected in the town and county. On
the top of the hill of Mullaghmore an object
would be seen from all parts of Donegal Bay and
large portions of the counties of Sligo, Leitrim,
Fermanagh, and Donegal. A pillar of Mullagh-
more granite, with a design on the top, would be a
conspicuous landmark, costing little ; but the
great testimonial should be raised in our town,
either by restoring the old Abbey of Sligo, which
we believe was the intention of the late Viscount,
and should this be carried out by Lady Palmerston,
then a, monument on the Green Fort or Cairns Hill.
We have no doubt but the country gentlemen will
be most willing to join, as the Hampshire gentry
of all parts did, in raising a fitting testimonial to one
of whom his great opponent, the late Sir Robt. Peel,
said, " We are all proud." A requisition to the High
Sheriff to call a county meeting would be desirable
to promote the object. —Sligo Independent.
London, England, 1866-03-31

EXPORTS TO TILE UNITED STATES.

The shipments of British produce and manufac-
tures from this country to the United States, last
year, amounted in value to 211 millions sterling,
being upwards of 41 millions more than 1864, and
nearly 6 millions in excess of the aggregate of 1863.
Manufactures of cotton, linen, and wool alone con-
tributed as much as 12 millions towards the total
in 1865. Of the last-mentioned textile, that de-
scription known as worsted stuffs was exported
to the extent of 31- billions ; the other classes, em-
bracing cloth, duffels and kerseymeres, carpets
and druggets, shawls, rugs,' &c., having added
another million. On comparing the statistical ac-
counts for the years 1864 and 1865, as reproduced
below, it will be seen that on cotton goods there
is a clear increase in the latter year of £1,322,346,
on linens of £1,114,452, and on woollens of
£1,679,746. The other more prominent items ex-
hibiting increases are haberdashery, &c., £175,931 ;
hardwares and cutlery, £165,197; tin plates,
£317,438 ; silk manufactures, £60,001 ; and under
the uuenumerated list the advance is not less
than £741,546. On the other side of the account
there is a falling-off on coals of £10,262, on lead
of £84,370, and on iron and steel of £1,215,991 ;
these decreases, without doubt, having been the
result of the cessation of hostilities.

The quantities of textile fabrics shipped should
perhaps be inserted. They are recorded as follows
in the official accounts :—Cottons, 64i million yards
in 1864 against 1221 million yards in 1865 ; linens,
764 million yards in 1864 against 112 million
yards in 1865 ; worsted stuffs, 47 million yards
in 1864 against 881 million yards in 1865 ; making an
aggregate increase last year of the enormous quan-
tity of 135 million yards.

formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author of " Incol-
lecticms and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and
Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris,
has left a widow and four young children, by his second
tnarriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his•
funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain
Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of
his brother, a clergyman, and the small income which
he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family
estate ceased with his life • while the sums he received
from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended
in providing for the increasing expenses of his young
family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends.
of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now
appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in
London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for
contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her
children. '

and as I have said before, and believe most truly,
that it produces great and excellent fruit to the ad-
vantage of the nation. At this moment I have be-
fore my mind's eye the recollection of an old friend
of mine, who is now no longer here—one of my
oldest friends, and one of our most respected towns-
men. If I mention the name of James Littlewood,
I shall recall him to the memory of many in this
audience. I recollect a conversation with him on
the subject of Sunday schools many years ago. He
told me that he had for more than 40 years, with
almost no exceptions, given portions of the Sunday
to teaching in the schools. The day which to many
of us is a day of rest, and perhaps not always so
profitably spent as it might be, was to him a day of

EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES.

The shipments of British produce and manufac-
tures from this country to the United States, last
year, amounted in value to 211 millions sterling,
being upwards of 4I millions more than 1864, and
nearly 6 millions in excess of the aggregate of 1863.
Manufactures of cotton, linen, and wool alone con-
tributed as much as 12 millions towards the total
in 1865. Of the last-mentioned textile, that de-
scription known as worsted stuffs was exported
to the extent of 31 millions ; the other classes, em-
bracing cloth, duffels and kerseymeres, carpets
and druggets, shawls, rugs, &c., having added
another million. On comparing the statistical ac-
counts for the years 1864 and 1865, as reproduced
below, it will be seen that on cotton goods there
is a clear increase in the latter year of £1,322,346,
on linens of £1,114,452, and on woollens of
£1,679,746. The other more prominent items ex-
hibiting increases are haberdashery, &c., £175,931;
hardwares and cutlery, £165,197 ; tin plates,
£317,438; silk' manufactures, £60,001 ; and under
the unenumerated list the advance is not less
than £741,546. On the other side of the account
there is a falling-off on coals of £10,262, on lead
of £84,370, and on iron and steel of £1,215,991;
these decreases, without doubt, having been the
result of the cessation of hostilities.

The quantities of textile fabrics shipped should
perhaps be inserted. • They are recorded as follows
in the official accounts :—Cottons, 644 million yards
in 1864 against 1224 million yards in 1865 ; linens,
761 million yards in 1864 against 112 million
yards in 1865 ; worsted stuffs, 47 million yards
in 1864 against 884 million yards in 1865 ; making an
aggregate increase last year of the enormous quan-
tity of 135 million yards.
