COTTON.—The cotton trade at Glasgow has now,
apparently, taken a favourable turn : about 1600
bags were sold in that city in the course of the week
bet bre List, at an advance of from one halfpenny to
three halfpence per pound.

Yesterday a vast number. of persons, chiefly Irish
labourers, assembled on Kennington Common, to en-
joy the sport of foot ball, hurling, racing, and wrest.
ling. Several of the E. 0. table men, and other
gaming impostors, having commenced their depreda-
tions, the police officers made an attack, and put the
whole corps of sharpen to flight. In the contest, one
of the officers was badly treated by the mob. They
threw turt it him, and the man did not escape with.
out considerable injury.
Tr ente.—The question of Tythes, as connected
with Horticultural pursuits in the neighbourhood of
the metropolis, was on Wednesday last brought more
immediately under the consideration of Parliament
by Mr. Serjeant OrisLow, who presented a Petition
from the Market G4rdeners and Growers of Fruit,
Vegetables, and other Garden Stock, within the
Parish of Isleworth. Should Parliament not inter-
fere for the rebel of this industrious class of the corn'
tnunity, the consequence may be fatal to the metro-
polis itself, by cutting off the abundant supply of
vegetables with which it has heretofore been provid.
ed. The following is an retract trom the Petition
to which we have alluded :
“ I hat your Petitioners feel grievously pressed by the present
system of the Tytbe 1 airs, as affecting land in a high, and con-
sequently expensive stare of cultivation; aud th.y believe that if
land so cultivated is rot protected from the exorbitant and still
increasing demand by interested iticumbeme, the most serious
mischiefs will arise to your Petitioners and others concerned in
the growth of vegetables and fruits, and must, it not prevented,
have the edict taut only of restraining tke further improvement
of land, but of ultimately producing the extinction of Horti-
culture. .

" That your Petitioners feel that excessive sums demanded
as a composition in lieu of Tythe, to be greatly detrimental to
the interest of the community, and as justly considered by your
Petitioners to be the more vexatious and distressit.g, as the.
caprice or rapacity of a 'l'ythe•owner continually subject your
Petitioners to all the evils attendant on oppressive taxation, and
operates as the great check to all further 'dinners in the im-
provement of Horticulture.
_ _

66 That your Petitioners cannot forbear stating to your Ho-
nourable House the peculiar hardship of their case, it having
been the custom from time immemorial, for the occupation of
Gardens within the said Parish, to pay a certain compel:Witt to
the V:car In lieu c 4 Tythe, amounting in the year 18tH to about
ss. per acre, and by gradual increase, in the year 181 5, to 15g.
per acre; and yet now no less than the enormous sum of from
three pounds, to four pounds ten shillings per acre, is required at
your Pelltioberl fur such composition.
" That year Petitioners are most desirous of contributing
their just proportions towards the support of the Established
Religion and the Ministers thereof, and with this view cheerfully
submit to every necessary Antibes; but your Petitioners deem
it highly desirable that some steps should be adepted• which
would pet an end to the unhappy disputes and snimasitles too
often subsisting' between the occupiers of land and the incurs.
bent, tendlog to alienate the mimed regard that should be for'
I ever,maintained between the Clergy and people, sod by-which
the cause of true religion hso powerfully promoted, a fair
compensation to the Clergy in h o etTythes, to be
by the Interference of your Honourable Haw.
" Your Petitioners, therefieu, relying with the fullest cud.
dime on the rectitude of their intentions, and being combed
that there is no ocher Tribunal- before whew their grlsvaaces
can be laid with effect, dory humbly pray that your
sHnouable
Hoses will take their Petition into your meet seriou cadisidera-
tkii, and that yea will afford to your Petitions= suck relief le
