LIVERPOOL, JAN. 21.—There has not been
much animation in oar Cotton Market-day. The sales
amount to about 1,200 bags at the currency of last Satur-
day's quotations.

KIRKDALE MARKET, JAN. 21.--We have
had a full market of Beasts, but many of them were not
of the first quality ; there was also a fair supply of Sheep,
which were in good demand ; we cannot say there was
any alteration in prices ; Beef sold at bid. to 64d., and
Mutton 6d. to 61d. per lb.

GLASGOW MARKETS, JAN. 19.--There
having been no arrivals of Sugar since the date of our last
weekly circular, holders have availed themselves of the
scarcity to realise, and 785 hhds. were sold during the
week at the advance of Is. per cwt. leaving only 195 hhds.
in the hands of importers. These sales consist of 243 hhds.
Demerara, at 61s. 6d. for dark brown, 645. for good brown,
and 655. 9d. a 675. for middling ; 191 hhds. 13erbice, at
60s. 6d. a 629. for low to middling brown ; 148 Mids.
Jamaica, at 655. 6d. a 665. 6d. for good boiling lots, and
6'7a. 6d. a 68s. for good grocery; 40 middling to good
boiling Saint Vincent's, at 655. a 675., and 163 hhds.
middling to good boiling Grenada, at 655. 6d. a 665. per.
cwt. There were no sales of Molasses this week, the only
cargo at market being Demerara, held at 29e. per cwt.
No business was done in Coffee, nor is it likely that much
will he done till the 25th lust, when 150 tierces Jamaica
are to be offered at auction. Nothing was done in Dye-
woods or Pimento, and the sales of Rum were confined to
small parcels of Demerara, at 2s. Id. a 2s. 2d. for Proof,
and of Jamaica, at Se. 2d. a 3s. 3d. for 16 O.P. There
was a fair demand for Cotton during the week, and prices
are without alteration. The sales amount to 1,345 bales.
Although there was little inquiry for Ashes, holders evince
no disposition to sell on lower terms, and prices remain no-
minally at 325. a 325. 6d. for new Pot, and 325. 6d. a
335. for Pearl. Almost nothing was done in Tobacco.-
The sales of Tallow are still limited at 41s. 6d. and in
some retail lots at 425. per cwt. There has been a good
demand for all descriptions of Grain, Barley fully main-
taining its price, and Wheat and Oats having advanced
about 6d. per boll.

The fever, it is hoped, has received a check
from the seasonable severity of the weather, as few new
cases have appeared during the last fortnight, but the num-
ber of funerals daily passing along the streets is appalling.
We regret to hear that the fever is raging i❑ Fortrose, and
the contagion brought from Inverness has proved fatal to
many in the surrounding country.—lnverness Journal.

FEVER.-Advices received from Athy, assure
ua that the fatal malady (fever) which we had announced
as prevalent in that town, has swept its victims from nu-
merous families, many of them of the better order. Among
these were some Medical Gentlemen. rn several private
houses, admittance is refused to all, intercourse between
individuals is limited, and business nearly suspended.__
During this unhappy visitation, swarms of beggars from
the neighbourhood of Athy continue to infest this town.—
The fevef has already invaded 13agenalstown.— Carlow
Morning Post.

That it was not without reason that the libe-
ral portion of the Cabinet insisted upon a Finance Com-
mittee which would very seriously take up the subject of
retrenchment and economy, is obvious from a fact with
which the public are not so conversant as they., ought to
be. In spite of all the nominal reductions of taxes since
the peace, so pompously expounded by tho various Chan-
cellors of the Exchequer, no real reduction has taken
place since the conclusion of the war in 1815. In the
last three years (ending the sth of April) of the war, in
which exertions so memorable were made to subdue NA.-
por.r.oN, the average revenue of Great Britain was as
follow■ :

Customs and Excise ... X34,56'8,000
Stamps 'i,360,000
Post Office
Assessed and Land Taxes
Miscellaneous

Property Tat .........

49,058,000
13,781,000

£62,842,000
During these, three years the pound sterling was not worth
more than 15s. ; in other words the currency was depre-
ciated 25 per cent. The real amount of taxes paid, there-
fore, in money of the old standard—our Present sove-
reins—was only 47,131,500/.
- Total nominal taxes £62,842,000
Deduct for depreciation, 25 per cent. 15,710,000

Real amount in sovereigns 41,181,500
Compare this with the average amount drawn from the
country during the last three years, ending the sth of Ja-
nuary
Customs and Excise £33,866,000
Stamps 6,550,000
Post-office
Assessed and Land Taxes

£47,290,000
So that the nation stilt groans under a load of taxes heavier
than during the heaviest years of the war ; and an en-
lightened Ministry quits his MAJESTY'S service, because
they attempt to take effectual measures (to which, indeed,
they were pledged) to alleviate the pressure. At:the-first
dinner which Mr. PITT gaie to the Duke of PORTLAND

stationed at Shoreham, seised during the last week 93 tubs
of rectified spirits, supposed to be part of the cargo brought
by the smuggling logger, Le Don de Dieu, which beached
at, Worthing during the late gale. The fishing-boat, Let-
us-try, of Brighton, which was out in the tempest on Sun-
day weeks fortunately drove on shore at the spot where
Lieut. PHILLIPS happened to be, and it is to the exertions
of that officer, and his party, that the three men on board
are indebted for the preservation of their lives and of their
little bark; which was speedily hauled up beyond the reach
of the tremendous surf, which ran, at day-break, in the
height of the gale. It may be worthy of remark, that two
years ago the same boat, with one of the three men in her,
was cast on the same spot, and assisted in the same manner
by that officer and party.—Brighton Guardian.

On Sunday last, great interest was excited on
the beach to the westward, by the appearance of several
tubs of spirits which were washing on shore ; and on
the Chain Pier, by the landing of tea-chests, casks,
packages, and sea-chests, which had the appearance of
hav:ng- been buffled by the waves for some time.—Brighton
Guardian.

INTERRUPTION OF THE MAILS.---The Nvea
ther during the past fortnight has assumed its ordinary
wintry aspect, the cold being more severely felt after tie
mildness of the preceding winter months. A keen frost,
with a sharp easterly wind in the beginning of last week,
was followed by a slight fall of snow On Thursday „,,,,ight.
The frost continued intense until yesterday, when, after a
lowering sky, and frequent strong gales ..)f wind, there was
a slight shower of snow, but the weather is again fresh to-
day, with showers of rain. There has been a considerable
fall of snow in the South, and there are consequently two
English maNs and one Edinburgh mail due to-day._._
