COTTON.

LIVERPOOL, November s.—Sales probably 12,000 or
15,000 bales. Market unchanged.
COLONIAL.—Sugar.—The market for raw continues
very quiet, and as holders persist in demanding late
prices, the transactions are extremely limited. In re-
fined there is but little doing. Dry goods can be purchased
at previous rates, but prices may be had on easier terms.
Coffee is steady, and full prices are obtained for all
coloury qualities, pale sorts also fully maintained their
values, but are not quite so much sought after.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE.—The supplies are moderate,
and the weather being more favourable, with rather
better accounts from Newgate and Leadenhall, we have
had an improved tone in our market. Prices for best
qualities have been against buyers. Of beasts there
were 1,310, and the really prime were sold quickly,
whilst middling sorts were rather more saleable. The
finest sheep realised about 2d per stone more, and the
trade was more cheerful. Veal did not sell well, the
rough condition of the stock checking demand. Pork
unaltered. Trade quiet. Total at market :—Beasts, 1,310 ;
sheep, 4,200 ; calves, 122; pigs, 40. Beef 3s 4d to 58 6d.
POTATOES.—Borough and Spitalfields.—There is a very
quiet demand at these markets, and prices are without
change. English regents, 80s to 1508 ; ditto rocks, 50s
to 70s; York regents, 120 s to 150 s; ditto rocks, 60s to
90s ; Lincoln regents, 60s to 120 s ; Scotch ditto, 80s to
130 s; Denbars, 90s to 130 s; French, 508 to 70s per ton.
HAY AND STRAW.—Smithfield and Whitechapel. —T he
demand is moderate, with a full suppiy.

The number of visitors at the South Kensington
Museum during the week ending Oct. 31 was as follows:
On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free, from 10 a.m.
to 10 p.m., 12,963; on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
(admission 6d.), from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m., I,9o7—total,
14,870. Average of corresponding week in former
years, 10,696: total from the opening of the museum,
7,878,969.

THE CHANNEL FLEET.--Orders have been re-
ceived that the ships forming the Channel Squadron are
to prepare for sea immediately. They will all be complete
with three months' provisions, &c., as soon as possible,
and the Minotaur, 34, armour-plated ship, Captain James
G. Goodenough (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Fre-
derick Warden, 0.B.), will leave Portsmouth Harbour,
where she is now lying, for Spithead, as soon as the few
repairs required on board her are completed.
WINDING-UP COMPANIES IN CHANCERY.—The
official judicial statistics of 1867 show that in that year
110 orders were brought into the Chambers of the Master
of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellors for winding-up com-
panies. Lists of contributories were proposed, from which
357 names were excluded; 9,343 persons were included in
the lists. Calls were ordered in the year amounting to
£1,497,831. Dividends were ordered to be paid amounting
to £7,310,339. The calls made in the preceding year
amounted to £1,810,834.
It is just a century since Massachusetts granted
the town of Bethel to the heirs of the soldiers that served
in the Canadian expedition of 1690. The occasion will
be appropriately celebrated.
The Mechanics' Fair at San Francisco was closed
on Saturday, Sept. 19, after an exhibition of 31 days, and
the receipts proved to be $20,000 in excess of the ex-
penditure.

The violent deaths in New York city average one
thousand per annum, and the deaths resulting from dis-
ease, but investigated by the Coroner, amount to about ono
thousand more. The fees alone paid to the Coroners of
that city amount to $26,500 every year.

A telegram from Florence, Oct. 22, stated that
Italy had just concluded with the Regency of Tunis a
treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation.
The people in San Francisco consider it certain
that their city will be made the ddpot for the Australian
and Now Zealand Mail now running to Panama.
