HULL MA RKET.—May 27,
We have only a very limited chew of Wheats to-day
from the farmers, the best qualities of which met a free
sale at last week's prices; in secondary qualities, and for eign,
no alteration. Oats continue in limited demand, and
prices remain steady. Beans maintain our currency, and
good dry parcels are in fair demand. Pease are bad to
quit. Beans under lock arc held with firmness at our
quotations. The demand for Barley is trifling, and few
parcels offering. Rapeseed and Linseed are in very limited
demand, without variation in prices.

CATTLE MAKKET.-Our show this week consisted of
561 ;--viz. 22 three-years-olds ; 138 two-years-olds ;
275 stirks ; 56 queys ;21 cows, and one bull. So far as
concerned drove cattle, this was an unimportant market,
not a single lot being exposed. The smaller kinds, how-
ever, were a fair show, both in point of numbers and con-
dition. A good many farmers attended, anxious to buy
small cattle for grazing, and on that account business went
on brisker than it has done for some weeks past. Two
years-olds sold at from Si. 10s. to '7l. 10s. ; and stirks at
from 2/. to 51. per head. Few cows were sold. The few
Irishers which were exposed wet a better sale than usual,
and most were sold off. Upon the whole this was a good
market, and turned out much better than it was expected.
Pecs.-13 carts—This was an excellent pig market,
and the whole were sold off early ; prices rated from 10s.
to 20s. per head.

On Tuesday night, about half-past ten o'clock,
a fire was discovered in the stables in Charlotte-street,
called the Portico Mews, in the occupation of Mr. BROOM-
HEAD. There were only two horses in that part of the
stable where the fire originated, one of which, belonging to
Mr. JAMES ALLEN, was so severely scorched that it is not
expected to recover ; and the other, which belongs to Mr.
WORSWICK, the engraver, was nearly suffocated, but was
not much burnt. The first was almost completely extin-
guished before the arrival of the engines. We are happy
to say that the damage is very trifling. It is not known
hew the fire originated.—Manchester Mercury.
On going to visit the ruins of Brougham
Castle, in Cumberland, the writer of this was struck by
the unusual tameness of a swallow (Birundo domestics),
which was sitting on the parapet wall of the bridge that
crosses the Einant, on the road from Penrith. Swallows
are, indeed, far from being generally shy, trusting, per-
haps, to their rapidity of flight shankd danger thraten ;
but this poor swallow allowed itself to he approached with-
out offering to escape. Perhaps it might instinctively
court human aid, as its pitiful looks, without much strain-
ing, might have been thus interpereted. On taking hold
of it the feathers were found to be full of the insect deno-
minated by LINNAIus Pediculus Hirundinis, but by modern
entomologists, Craterina Hirundinis, which is somewhat
larger in size than the common house-bug (cimex !ectula-
rius). The poor swallow was immediately taken to the
river, and on being freed from its tormentors, flew off
joyfully to join its companions, while the writer passed
on to explore the vault in thl castle where the Scottish
patriot, WALLACE, is said to have been confined on his way
to London.—Athenmurn.

NEW SOUTH WALES.—The advantages of
transportation to this favourite colony have long since been
duly estimated by the lower orders of society, of which the
following anecdote is a singular instance :—The 46th re-
giment of Foot having been on duty at Sydney, during
1818 and 1819, sailed in the early part of 1820 for Ma-
dras. Shortly after their arrival, two of the privates were
charged with coining, and being tried anti convicted, were
sentenced to transportation, and sent out as convicts to the
colony from which they were so lately removed. A few weeks
subsequently information was given to the police (by an
anonymous communication) that a gang of eight or ten
other privates of the same regiment were carrying on the
same nefarious manufacture. They were accordingly taken
into custody, committed, tried, and convicted. Mean-
while it had reached. the
.ears of the commanding officer
that the apparent criminality of so, many of his men was
hut a manoeuvre to procure their speedy return to the fa-
vourite colony in which they had so long been quartered.
He forthwith made a representation of the circumstances
which had come to his knowledge to the Governor in
Council, accompanying such statement with the assurance
that if the convicted gang should be transported to Sydney,
kis regiment. ivould.-shortly be reduced to a mere skeleton.
The punishment was therefore changed to imprisonment
and hard labour at Madras, and the virtue of the remaining
privates of the 46th regiment was no longer tempted with
the alluring bait of transportation to New South Wales.—
It is 'scarcely necessary •to observe, that neither coining nor
forgery are punishable as capital offences in our East Indian
territory.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

Extract from a letter received at Nassau, and
dated Havannah, April 11
Laborde has returned here from his expeditioß.
He has done nothing, and nobody answered the sig-
nals which he had been directed by the Porto Rico
Authorities to make on different parts of the coast ;
nor did any one come for the arms and specie with
which he was provided. He did not touch at Ja-
maica,.nor did he proceed off Vera Cruz. It is re-
ported that the Spaniards have some intention of
blockading Vera Cruz; this would seriously annoy
the Mexicans."

(From the Baltimore Gazette.)
We learn from a gentleman who left Havannah
on the 17th inst., that Commodore Laborde was
preparing the whole of his squadron, with the utmost
despatch, for a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico, and
that three of the frigates had already sailed. It was
currently stated at Havannah that the object of the
expedition was the blockade of Vera Cruz and Cam-
peachy. The Mexican brig of war, Bravo, Capt.
Wm. Wyse, was chased into Key West on the 13th
inst., by the Spanish frigate Lealtad, the same vessel
that captured the Mexican brig of war Guerrero.
Mexico.—Private advises from Mexico, to the
23d- ult., represent the city and stare of --Vera Cruz
as perfectly quiet. The Government has gained
strength by the suppression of the late insurrection.
A subscription has been opened to build a brig like
the for the service of the State, by which
it was expected that from half a million to a million
of dollars would be collected. The Congress enter-
tained resolutions to give pensions to the wounded,
and the relatives of those killed, on board of the
Guerrero.

HAVANNAII, MARCH 30.—The Mexican privateer
Independence, formerly the Corroboba, under Colom-
bian colours, Captain Hoffner, captured yesterday, a
short distance to leeward, two drogers, with 300
boxes of sugar. The frigate Lcaltad and brig Hercules
have gone in pursuit of her.
List of Spanish ships of war in port :—Sobcrano,
80 guns, 1,000 men, Admiral Laborde; Guerrero,
71 guns, 900 men ; Iberia, 44 guns, 400 men ;
Casildct, 44 guns, 400 men; Sabina, 44 guns, 400
men ; Maria, Isabel, 22 guns, 200 men ; Hyena,

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Maracaibo,
to his friend in Norwich, dated March 2:—
uln the way of news we have nothing. The
Grand Convention ought to meet this month ; but I
have my doubts if it will be the case. Bolivar
undoubtedly wishes to force the Bolivian Constitu-
tion upon the people, and to be the President
Vitalicio ;' which will give him more arbitrary
power than any crowned head in Europe, except the
Czar of Russia. I have my fears that Colombia is
not yet in a settled state, and will see much trouble
before all is as it should be. The Government is
completely military; they have all the power, and
hold all the offices; there is no such thing as freedom
of the press, and hardly of speech. The editor of
The Liberal has been sent to Curacoa for change-of
air, together with four other liberal-minded men,
without trial, or being told for what. They were
taken from their houses by a guard of soldiers, and
at a moment's notice shipped off at the castle of
San Carlos, at the bar, where they were confined
till their friends procured them a passage to Curacoa.
Such is the state of things to which this unfortunate
country is arrived ; such is the liberty of the citizens
of Colombia! But it matters not to us (who come
into the country to make money, and to get out of
it as soon as we can) what kind of Government
there is, povided confidence is restored, and things
kept in a quiet state. Foreigners are respected by
the authorities, although every opportunity is taken
to thwart them and cheat them with impunity."
CHARLESTON, APRIL 16.—A merchant of this
city yesterday brought to our office two samples of
cotton, one of which is of a very superior quality in
point of colour, staple, and cleanness, and in the
present state of our market, a lot equal to it would
command 10i to 11 cents per lb. ; the other sample
is very much stained, and would not command over
8 cents per lb.; both samples were taken from the
same bale. The ends and the sides of the bale were
made up with the prime inclosing the inferior, and,
owing to accident only, the cheat was discovered.
We understand the cotton was received from
Camden.:

On Thursday week a gentleman, near Liberty-
town, in this State, had a child two months old put
into his arms in rather a novel manner. He was
walking with an umbrella over his head, when a
woman, with a child in her arms, begged him to
protect her from the rain a few minutes, pretending
she had been travelling, and was exhausted; he also
consented to carry the child a few paces, when the
woman stopped to adjust some part of her dress,
and gave him the slip, leaving the infant for the gen-
tleman to provide for as he could.—Baltimore
Gazette.

Mr. Cobb, of the Senate, stated in his remarks
last Friday :—" That, in that part of Georgia in
which he lived, but little more than half-crops of
cotton had been made in the last year; and that he
had seen a document from one of the commercial
cities of the South, by which it would seem that the
exports of cotton, of the crop of 1827, would be
from 100,000 to 200,000 bales less than those of the
year preceding."
An apricot, measuring three inches and one
quarter in circumference, which grew. in an open
garden in New York, was exhibited on the 22d inst.
at the Meeting of the Horticultural Society of that
place.
(From TVillie's New Orleans Price Current of April 12.)
COTTON.—In the fore part of the week the de-
mand was languid and but little doing, since when a
better business has been done. Tennessee and North
Alabarnas are still dull, and in the opinion of many,
hare given way a shade, but not sufficiently so to
alter figures at present. The low price of freights,
and the dull prospect of any immediate improvement,
are favourable towards supporting late prices. The
stock of Louisiana and Mississippi is small, and in
fair request ; we continue our former quotations for
this description—viz, ordinary to middling 81 a 81
cents ; middling to fair 9 a 9fc.; fair to good fair 91
a 10 *e; good fair to good 10f a lle.; good to fine
a 121 Hi' c.—for all of-which there is a fair. de-
mand.

SAVANNA") APRIL 19.—COTTON.—The demand
for this article the present week has been extremely
limited, the tonsactions in Uplands not exceeding
SOO to 1,000 bales, at a reduction of 4- of a cent
upon prices of the previous week, the principal sales
for mixed and common lots having been at 9 to 9+;
fair to good fair 91, 9a, and 91; very fair 91 to Ol ;
prime 10 to -101 ;and a selection from a prime
parcel as high as 101 cents. • Sea Islands—There
has been so little doing in this article, we continue
the quotations' of the last week, viz. 28 a 30.
NEW YORK, APRIL 30.—COTTON.—The demand
for this staple continues. unabated, and the sales
from thii 26th to 29th inclusive, amount to upwards
of 2000 bales, comprising 1,100 bales'Alabarna at
10 a 111 cents ; 450 New Orleans, at 10 a 121;
300 Uplands, at 9 to 11, and 200 Pensacola at
about 10i cents:

The intelligence from Liverpool by the Hamilton,
has added to the favourable feeling previously exist-
