CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Th) Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday cloned
with a very animated apps aranw, and prices con-
tinued ti advanc3. The sales amonnt6d to 12,000
ba7es, 3,000 of which were taken on speculation
and for export. Tile Railway Share Market closed
quietly, and prices were a shade lower.

The Bank of Engllnd.return, which is completed
fer the week ending the 22nd inst., is in most re-
spects Eatisfic'ory, and it is generally presumed
that the improvement exhibited still continnes.
Besides a large addition to the reserve of notes,
there is a decline of more than three quarters of a
million ste►ling in the other securities, and the
total now stands at a lower point than for some
time past. The bullion in consequence of the
withdrawals which took place prior to the departure
of the last st.:Amer to the East h slightly reduced,
but as a large augm3utat;on has since occurred
this movement excites little attention. The other
deposits show a material reduction owing to the
withdrawal of the Sound due money. The prin-
ciple items and the charges they present are as
subjoined.

AUSTRALIAN MAILS. —The following telegraphic mes-
sage has been received from Marseilles, datel August
28, Meagre. D. and C. Maclver :—" The Cambria
arrived at Malta on the 21st August, at nine o'clock
in the evening. The Etna left for Alexandria on the
22nd, at 5 axe. The Australian magi and
passengers
have arrived-here by the Vectis."
WEST COAST OF AFRICA.—The screw steamer Der-
went, belonging to the London line of African steamers,
arrived in the Victoria Docks yesterday aftetneon. Her
dates t.re Sierra Leone 1 t Aug., Teneriffe 14th. Fromthe Gad Coast her dates have been anticipated by the
mail. The cargo of tho Derwent consists of 601 butte
and puncheons of palm oil, 1 box of golddust, 2 cases
silver plate and watches, 70 bags ginger, 13 bags eechi-
neal, and 12 packages sundries,
SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday afternoon, between 1 and
2 o'clock, a fearful instance of the uncertainty of human
life was exempiified in St. James's-park. Mr. C. Wright,
solicitor, of No. 27, Essex-street, Strand, bad been in the
park taking exercise, in company
with Mrs. Wright,
and was seated on one of the benches opposite the
Duke of York's column, when he suddenly fell down
and expired. The unfoitunate gentleman's body was
removed by the police to his residence.
EIECUTIoN AT CHESTER.— Yesterday morning John
Blagg, convicted at- the late assizes at Chester for the
murder of John Bebbington, gamekeeper to Mr. Corbett,
of Tilstone, was executed at Chester Castle: Exertions
were made to procure a reprieve on the ground that the
evidence was only circumstantial ; but the Home Secre-
tary, in reply to the communications made to him, stated
that be did not see any feature in the case to justify him
in interfering with the course of the law, When the un-
happy man was informed that all effete to save his life
had failed ho became very touch depressed, and the full
extent of his awful position and the late which awaited
him seemed to come with great force upon him. The
untiring eff.irts of the rev. chaplain to bring the un-
happy man to a proper sense of his position were in a
great measure crowned with success. During the pact
few days the convict paid marked attention to the ex-
hortations of the rev. gentleman, joined in prayer with
apparent earnestness, and passed much of his time, when
1-ft al me with his attendant, in reading passages of
Scripture selected for his perusal. Although he had at
times disputed the truth of portions of the evidence ad-
duced a,-,:ainet him, he never denied his crime or attempted
to aceount fer himself at the time of its cominiesion. His
sorrowing wife saw him several times after his convic-
tion. In his interview with her on Tuesday Blagg dis-
played much more feeling than he had done on former
occasions. A. few minutes before 8 o'clock the convict
was visited in the condemned cell by Mr. Dunstan, the
governor, the rev. chaplain, and er.here, who remained
with him a short time, when he went through the pro-
cess of being pinioned by the executioner. The bell then
commenced to toil, and the mournful procession having
been formed, proceeded to the scaffold. There, in a few
moments, the solemn preparations were completed, the
rope was adjusted, and, the bolt being withdrawn, the
dropfell, and, almost momen•arily, the convict was dead.
A large crowd of persons, ceeepoeed of all classes, assem-
bled to witness the painful spectacle.
SALMON FISHING IN THE TWEED.—The productive.
ness of the Tweed Fisheries has so diminished of late,
that the annual take of adult salmon hag, in about forty
years, fallen from 40,000 to 4,000 ; so that, notwith-
etanding the great increase in the price of the rent
of the river has fallen from 20,0001 to something above
4,0001. per annum. Such a state:of things seemed to
threaten even the corollate sterility of what was once
the most productive of the Scotch salmon rivers. To
prevent this, and it possible flso to allow the fish to
increase in number, the Tweed Fisheries 13;11, which
became law on the 19th instant, ha.i, after
math fighting, been passed. Its provisions are
to lengthen the close-time which now begins
on the Ist October for nets, and 15th October
for rods, instead of the 15Lh Oc ober and 7th November
respect: vely, as formerly, and ends on the lst of March
instead of 15th Feb., fsr both net and rel. The act
also abolishes the use of fixed nets of any description,
and of leisters or spears, and prohibits the destruction of
foul fish. Ia order that this is it clause may be effect
tinily worked, anglers are not allowed to use cleeks or
landing hooks until the first of June—by which time the
kelta have generally left the river—as, after having been
taken out by such hooks, the fish are chai, or neatly so,
and it therefore becomes useless to return them to the
water. These provisions, we doubt not, will have the
desired effect--Bang Journal.
