There was a very fair demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, at firm prices. Sa!es about 6,(.00 bales,
viz, 200 Bahia, at 54d. to sid. ; 300 21aranham, at 4id.
to ;lid. ; 50 Perham, at 54d.; 200 Egyptian, at sid. W
6d.; and the rest American, at 311. to 51d. per lb.--

We have no arrivals in the City to-day, if we except
accounts by a transient foreign vessel, to Septemt;:3'
15, from Rio de Janiero. At that period trade was a
little more animated, but it appears the imports were still
in excess. This might arise, however, from the desire of
parties to get in their goods before the advanced duties
came into operation, and which would, of course, leave
better margin for profit. The exchange had been up
to 251.
The particulars relative to the new emission of the
French loan have given decided satisfaction in the
City, as the arrangement is considered the most fa-
v.urable tout could possibly have been made, the instal-
ments being spread ore' a period of twenty months.
The bare rumour that these were all to be made good in
three months had excited much uneasiness from the de-
rangement which such a plan would have caused in the
Money Market. As it is, the amounts payable will be
but 10,000,000 francs each time, and no doubt a large
proportion, whoever may obtain the contract, will be
allotted in the French metropolis, as well as in the other
Continental cities.

The Funds opened rather flatly this morning, not-
withtanding the advance in the French Funds, and
money being in rather more request, stock was offered
m. .re freely. Consols have ranged from par to 100/ for
Money, and from 100-,1- to 100/ for Account. Exchequer
Bills have been down to 635. and 61s. premium. The
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 1014 to
1021 ; and the Three per Cents., 99i to 4..
Spanish Bonds have given way this morning, the Five
per Cents. being marked 2.1 i 4, and the Three per Cents.
35:k 4. There is nothing of importance from Spain, but
the advices of the dreedful hurricane at Cuba lead to the
apprehension of a greatly diminished 'revenue this year
from that source. Portuguese Converted Stock has been
661-, and rather dull. Mexican Bonds are quieter at 351,
Colombian at 14, and Brazilian at 88. Dutch Two-and-
a Half per Cents. are 62-/ and Russian Bonds are 119.
In Shares business continues to be limited, and prices
ara still rather heavy.

ANOTHER FIRE AT WEST BERGUOLT.—We re'
gret to state that about half-past eleven o'clock on
Sunday night a fire broke out upon the premises Of
West Bergholt Hall, the property of John Round, Esq.•
M.P., of Danbury Park, and in the occupation of Mr. J.
Ward, when a large double barn, filled with wheat and
barley, a cart lodge, and a granary containing corn is
sacks ready for market, were totally consumed. Severs'
waggons, tumbrels, &c., were saved by the police, who
exerted themselves in the most praiseworthy manner in
preserving order and in the attempt to save the property.
The fire is supposed to have been wilfully occasioned.--

SCENE IN TWEEDMOUTII SCOTCH CHURCH.---0111
the forenoon of Sunday last a rather curious affair hap-
pened in the Rev. Mr. Grant's church, Tweedmouth,
which is at present in connexion with the Established
Church of Scotland. The Rev. Gentleman, after con-
cluding his sermon, notified his intention of leaving that
Church, having entered into an engagement to go oat
to India as a missionary of the Church of Scotland, at
the same time urging the congregation to remain in con-
nexion with the Established Church, and not to unite
with either the Free Church of Scotland or English Pres-
byterian Church. After the pronouncing of the benedin•
tion, Mr. Pearson, of Tweedmouth, who by his gestures
during the service manifested great uneasiness, and an eV
dent desire to speak, stood up and requested the congrega-
tion to remain for a few moments, having something of
importance to communicate. Mr. Grant, with a for
of the congregation, immediately left the chapel, but tue
majority remained to hear what the speaker had to :Or'
He then urged the congregation not to allow themselves
to be bound neck and heels to the Establishment by. any
minister. He himself was a supporter of the principles
of the Free Church of Scotland, and would never alloy
himself to be handed over to any party the minister
might choose; and he therefore would propoie that a
congregational meeting be held, in order to decide as £0
which body application should be made for candidates
to supply the place of Mr. Grant. This motion was se-
conded and agreed to; but Mr. P., while delivering his
speech, was frequently interrupted by groans and hisses.
and, that gentleman's ire being excited, he declared that
he believed nine-tenths of the congregation were utterly
ignorant of what they were about ! This lively meeting
then broke up.—Berwick Warder:
