CIT, QUARTE TO TII PEE.
The sales of Cotton at Live yesterday were 81,00 bales,
the market b:iing quieter, but steady. There was some im-
provement :n Share—Grand Junction were 233; doto Halves,
116 ; Birm'n4ham, Quarter, 2tax,i, ; Brighton, 43 ; Manches-
ter and Leeds, 100; South Eastern, 3 ; ditto New, 36k;
Paris and Orleans, 32k; Paris and Lyons, 2/. 1 7s. 6d.
The only arrivals to-day are from Van Diemen's Land, from
lwhence we have ;accounts to the 12th of September
ast. We can hardly believe the representation made in some
the advices that have reached us to-day, that a slight had
been offered to the newly arrived Governor, Sir Eirdley
'Wilmot, by Sir John Franklin ; but so is it stated, and we
cannot refrain fr tm mentioning the assertion. A de-
parture from the ordinary rules of courtesy, how-
ever slight or unintended, once imagined, trifling cir-
cumstances are readily advanced to support an idea
that an affront was intended. It is in this light that we
would throw overboard the statement that Lady Franklin had
gone on a pleasure water trip, in the only available vessel at
command, when the New Governor was in the offing. The
toted bushranger, Cash, had been captu;ed, and no ques-
tion his fate would soon be sealed. This villain was the
leader of a band in the bush that have committed the
Most horrible atrocities, and the capture of the rest of
gang was looked forward to as a certainty. They will
meet with no sympathy at the hands of the colonists. The
present advice; do not notice any alteration for the better in
trade or commerce in the colony. There are no accounts
to-day from Sydney.
The following letters (copied from the Chronicle), which
have passed between the firm of Salomon and Co , of Panama,
141 AI. 3losquera, the Minister for New Grenada in this
ZuetrY, show that the exclusive privileges for opening a corn-
unication between the two oceans across the Isthmus of Pa-

As it is of great importance to an undertaking of such
