LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DEC. 10.—We
think the Market more steady to-day. Prices' are the
same, but holders are confident, and the sales reach 3,000
bags, comprising 120 Egyptian, at 11 4d. a ; 130
Pernambuco, 11-Id. a 12d. ; 20 Maranham, 12d. ; and the
rest American, 7d. a 10Id.
ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—A most atrocious act of
cowardly revenge was perpetrated in the neighbourhood of
Whittlesca, Cambridgeshire, about six miles from Peter-
borough, on last Sunday night, or early on the Monday
morning. A Mr. Reed, a highly respectable farmer, residing
at Whittlesca, of whom every persow speaks in the highest
terms, as being a benevolent and humane man, has for some
time past been very active, and taken a most prominent part
in the management of the parochial affairs, by which he has
seenred the good wishes of the industrious poor, whose wel-
fare he has successfully promoted, but who, on the other
hand, has rendered himself obnoxious to the idle and disso-
lute. In the course of the above night some villains entered
h s field and hain-strung three of his horses and six of his
bullocks, and killed thirty•six of his sheep. The poor ani-
ma s were discovered in this state early on Monday morning,
and it became necessary to kill one of the horses on the
spot, and the others must inevitably share the same fate, as
they are rendered perfectly useless. The bullocks were also
immediately slaughtered. The sheep were most of them
dead when they were discovered ; some of them had been
most dreadfully cut and mangled, with stabs and gashes in
various parts of their bodies, and having, in some instances,
their legs cut off, or merely hanging to the stump by the
skin. Others had been wounded and driven into the ditch,
where they were drowned, and sotne few had been wounded
and in that state left to bleed to death. Great excitement
prevails in the neighbourhood, and every effort is making to
discover the miscreants who have committed this diabolical
deed, but hitherto without success. On Monday there was
a melting of the magistrate/:,upon the subject, and numerous
search-Warrants were granted, in the hope of finding some
clue that might lead to the detection of the offenders. One
man has been taken up on suspicion, but no positive evi-
-1 dence has yet been adduced to implicate him in the

transaction.
GOING DOWN IN LIFE.—A pot " boy" (aged 40
at least), employed at a public-house in the neighbourhood
of Northumberland-street. was the other day observed
" with the dark fit on him," or, less _poetically, with a strong
touch of the blue devils. On being asked the cause of his
dejection, " Ali ! Sir," said hc, " I can't help . thinking of
what I once once. Although lam a potboy now, I once
wag a dustman !" -
A FAITHFUL FRIEND.—On Saturday week, as
Yeoman, the carrier, was proceeding frcm Chesterfield to
Matlock, he was stopped in a lonely part of Matlock Moor
by a robber, who commenced a filrious attack upon him.
He had fortunately, previous to the rush of the assailant,
unloosed the dog fi Urn under his cart, which flew at the
thief in an instant, and got him down. Yeoman, however,
went on, leaving his courageous and sagacious animal to
fight it out with the villain. A man of the,name of Wright
came up during the conflict, and succeeded in getting the
enraged animal from him. He was dreadfully lacerated
and bit, but contrived to make his escape.—na Courant.
On the 10th ult., about one o'clock in the after-
noon, Captain M'Leod, of this poi`, whose ship was then
lying in the King's Dock, came on shore with the inten-
tion of proceeding to Chapel-street, to order cordage.
Shortly after leaving the vessel, he met the steward, to
whom he gave some trifling directions respecting the
cabin, intimating that he should return in about an hour.
The day passed over, however, without his appearance, as
did the next and the following days ; nor have any tidings
been heard of him up to the present time. A diligent search
has been made by his brother, with whom he resided, but
without sueceas : he never reached the place for which he
set out, nor can any person be ascertained to have seen him
since he parted with the steward. In the meantime the
ship has sailed under another commander. What renders
this circumstance the more extraordinary is, that Captain
M'Lcod was a person of sober, steady habits, regular and
attentive in his business ; nor had any change been ob-
served in his temper and deportment. At that hour of the
day, too, it is not probable that lie could have fallen into the
water without being perceived.—Liverpool Courier.
SERIOUS AFFRAY WITH SMUGGLERS AT BUD-
LEIGH SALTERTON.—At one o'clock on Wednesday morn-
ing last Lieutenant Clay, R.N., of the Coast Guard
Station, observing a boat unloading near the beach, at the
back of the village, he fired a pistol, which brought the
- chief boatswain, John Bachelor, to his assistance, and they
then attempted to prevent the smugglers from landing their
cargo ; ou which they were aaacked by a party armed
with long bludgeons and fire-arms ; a desperate struggle
ensued, Lieut. Clay, being bound by them hand and foot,
was finally overpowered, and beaten till insensible. The
chief boatswain seeing this, and having received, a blow
which rendered his left arm useless, escaped to a little-dis-
tance, and ignited a blue light to alarm the coast; upon
which the smugglers retreated, leaving their boat and 52
tabs on the beach. Both Lieutenant. Clay and the chief
hoi.►tswain were mach burt.—lre.stent Luininary.
