LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 19

The demand has been very limited throughout the week, and all
descriptions have been difficult of sale; notwithstanding, however,
the firmness of holders generally, a partial qcline of kd slb has
been submitted to in most kinds, at which rate the market has
closed steady, but without spirit. Exporters have taken 200
American, 50 Pernambuco, 50 Maranham, and speculators 750
American.

TO THE REV. J. R. CONNOR.

Dear Sir,—ln answer to your very kind letter of this day's
date, permit me to assure you, that it afforded me the most
heartfelt gratification to perceive the too flattering terms in
which my humble services have been acknowledged by the
visiting ladies of Christ Church district.
The performance of the pleasing task they confided to me,
of relieving the infirmities of the suffering sick poor, has
always been a source of infinite pleasure to me during my
medical career.

May I take leave to request of you to convey to them my
warmest obligations and ackisbwledgments, for the assurance
of their unanimous approbation of my professional ability
and conduct, as also for the handsome and valuable gilt
accompanying your letter, which I shall doubly prize and
preserve, as having been presented to me by ladies, who so
assiduously and praiseworthily devote themselves to the
cause of Christian benenolence.

1 hope that a sense of this esteemed favour will inspire me
with renewed diligence and zeal in the faithful discharge of
the duties entrusted to me, endeavouring, in as far as my
feeble abilities allow, " to persevere in well doing."
May I further beg of you to tender my sincere and grateful
thanks to the Rev. Fielding Ould, for his co-operation and
cordial approval of my professional exertions among the
poor of the district over which he presides.
I cannot conclude without an expression of my best thanks
to yourself, personally, for the kindness you have shown on
this occasion, and wishing you the enjoyment of much
health and happiness, believe me, dear sir, very faithfully
yours, EDWARD J. BULTEEL, Surgeon.

M. Arago has proposed a plan for discharging clouds, in
cases of storms, of the electric fluid which they contain, and
thus preventing the frequent occurrence of hail-storms,
which, as is well known, are generally produced by two cur-
rents of clouds, charged with positive and negative electrici-
ty, crossing each other. It consists in an improvement on
Franklin's experiment of the kite, with which he obtained an
electric spark from a cloud, and afterwards Dr. Romas, of
Nerac, and Messrs. Lining and Charles, of the United States,
produced electric flashes three and four feet in length. M.
Arago recommends that a small balloon, properly secured,
armed with metallic points, and communicating with the
ground by a rope, covered with metallic wire, like a harp-
string, should be kept permanently floating in the air at a
considerable height over the spot which it is wished to pre-
serve from the effect of lightning or hail ; and he expects
that by such an apparatus as this a cloud might have its elec-
tric contents entirely drawn off, without any damage being
caused, or that at least the intensity of a hail storm would_
be greatly diminished. The experiment is so simple, that it
is 81,1 worthy of a trial.--Galmaite., ..4festrever.

MY OLD ARM-CHAIR.

(From the Athenceum.)
Let poets coin their golden dreams,
Let lovers weave their vernal themes,
Or paint the earth all fair ;
To me no such bright fancies throng :
I sing a humble hearthstone song
Of thee,—my old Arm-chair !
Poor,—faded,—ragged,—crazy,—old,
Thou'rt yet worth thrice thy weight in gold :
Ay, though thy back be bare ;
For thou hast held a world of worth,
A load of heavenly human earth,
My old Arm-chair !
Here sate—ah, many a year ago,
When, young, I nothing cared to know
Of life, or its great aim,—
Friends (gentle hearts !) who smiled and shed
Brief sunshine on my boyish head;
At last the wild clouds came,—
And va;n desires, and hopes dismayed,
And fears, that cast the earth in shade,
My heart did fret,
And dreaming wonders, foul and fair ;
And who then filled mine ancient chair,
I now forget.

Then Love came—Love !—without his wings,
Low murmuring here a thousand things
Of one I once thought fair ;
'Twas here he laughed, and bound my eyes,
Taking me, boy, by sweet surprise,
Here,—in my own Arm-chair.
How I escaped from that soft pain,
And (nothing lessoned) fell again
Into another snare,
And how again Fate set me free.
Are secrets 'tween my soul and me,—
Me, and my old Arm-chair.
Years fade :—Old Time doth all he can :
The soft youth hardens into man;
The vapour Fame
Dissolves ; Care's scars indent our brow ;
Friends fail us in our need ;—but Thou
Art still the same.

Thou bring'st calm thoughts, strange dreamings sleep,
And fancies subtle (sometimes deep) ;
And the unseen air,
'Which round thy honoured tatters plays,
Is rich with thoughts of other days,
That quell despair.
Let the world turn, then,—wrong or right ;
Let the hired critic spit his spite ;
With thee, old friend,
With thee, companion of my heart,
I'll still try on the honest part,—
Unto the end !

POST-OFFICE MONOPOLY.

A great number of instances of bad management under the
present Post-office system have been made public by that ex-
cellent little journal the Post Circular; but we have seen no-
thing yet to equal the want of management in the manufac-
turing districts of South Wales. Mr. Wallace himself would
hardly believe that there are market towns in this country,
with a population of from 4,000 to 5,000 each, without a post-
office, though mails run through them. But such is the fact ;
the market town of Tredegar has a population considerably
above 4,000, and within a circle of three miles round the
town of Nant-y-Glo and Brynmawr there are at least 15,000
inhabitants. The letters from each of these places are sent
to Abergavenny or Newport, and thence forward in the private
bags of different iron companies and shopkeepers, who charge
in some instances as much as 4d per letter for the accommo-
dation. The mail for Abergavenny to Merthyr passes through
these towns, as well as through Llanelly, Beaufort, and
Rumney, ; but there is not even a receiving house between
Dowlais and Abergavenny a distance of eighteen miles. At
Newbridge a rapidly increasing manufacturing and market
town on the Cardiff road, the post-office is kept at an inn,
nearly a mile from the town, while the free delivery does not
extend 300 yards from the office. The towns of Merthyr and
Brecon are distant from each other about 18 miles, but let-
ters from one place to the other are sent through Abergaven-
ny ; letters from Brecon are therefore detained a whole day
at Abergavenny, as the Merthyr mail leaves before the Bre-
con letters arrive: thus if two letters are posted at Brecon
in the morning, one for London, distance 170 miles, and
another for Merthyr, distance 18 miles, the former will be in
London about nine hours before the latter will reach Mer-
thyr ! Letters to Merthyr from Builth and Hay are three
days on the road in consequence of this arrangement. The
ease with which these evils might be remedied makes the
hardship appear the greater. If offiecs were established in
the towns among the iron works, government would incur no
other expense than the post-masters' salaries, as there is a
mail already on the road ; and there is every probability that
the profits now derived by private individuals would leave a
handsome balance in favour of the revenue. If a mail cart
was started from Brecon in time for the Cardiff mail from
Merthyr, and to start at its return, the evils above alluded
to would not only be obviated, but a post communication in
one day would be opened between Brecon and Bristol. News-
papers sent from this city (Bristol) to persons about the iron
works of Nant-y-Glo, Beaufort, &c., are not delivered for a
week, and then in a dirty state.---Brisiol Mercury:

REFORM BILL

Mr. T. S. DIINCOMBE gave notice, that on an early day he
shpuld move for leave to bring in a bill to abolish the rate
and tax-paying clause in the reform bill. (Hear.)

MR. D. W. HARVEY

Mr. C. W. WYNNE gave notice that to-motrow he should
move that a new writ do issue for the Borough of Southwark,
in the room of Mr. D. W. Harvey, who since his election
had accepted an office under government. (Loud cries of
hear, hear, and laughter.)
In answer to a question from Sir E. CODRINGTON,
Mr. C. WARD said, the supplementary chapter in Sir J.
Barrow's " Life of Lord Anson" was not published with the
knowledge or authority of the Lords of the Admiralty.

ECCLESIASTICAL DUTIES AND REVENUES

Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a bill to
carry into effect, with certain modifications, the fourth report
of the commissioners of ecclesiastical duties and revenues.

It was nearly the bill as that presented by him towards the
close of the last session.

Sir R. INGLIS said that he should not divide the house on

it, but protested against its introduction, as calculated to de-
stroy the existing frame of the polity of the church of Eng-
land. He regretted that such a bill should have been intro-

THE BUSINESS OF CHANCERY.

Mr. BLEwirr having moved for various returns relative
to the business of the Court of Chancery.
Mr. PRAED inquired whether the government intended to
propose any measures respecting that court ?
Lord J. RUSSELL answered that the present lord chancel-

for had heretofore brought in a bill on the subject ; but there
were so many conflicting opinions, and so many impediments,
that the bill was abandoned, and it was impossible to think
of renewing it now—they must wait for a more favorable
opportunity.

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

Forgive and forget ! why the world would be lonely,
The garden a wilderness left to deform,
If the flowers but remember'd the chilling winds only,
And the fields gave no verdure for fear of the storm
Oh, still in thy loveliness, emblem the dower,
Give the fragrance of feeling to sweeten life's way;
And prolong not again the brief cloud of an hour,
With tears that but darken the rest of the day 1

Forgive and forget ! there's no breast so unfeeling
But some gentle thoughts of affection there live;
And the best of us all requires something concealing,
Some heart that with smiles can forget and forgive!
Then away with the cloud from those beautiful eyes,
That brow was no home for such frowns to have met
Oh, how could our spirits e'er hope for the skies,
If Heaven refused to forgive and forget ?

FIRST LOVE

Love ?—I will tell thee what it is to love !
It is to build with human thoughts a shrine,
Where Hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove;
Where Time seems young, and life a thing divine.
All tastes—all pleasures—all desires combine
To consecrate this sanctuary of bliss;
Above—the stars in cloudless beauty shine;
Around—the streams their flowery margins kiss—
And if there's heaven on earth, that heaven is surely this I

Yes, this is Ldve,—the steadfast and the true—
The immortal glory which hath never set ;
The best, the brightest boon that heart e'er knew ;
Of all life's sweets the very sweetest yet!
Oh ! who but can recall the eve they met
To breathe, in some green walk, their first young vow,
While summer flowers with moonlight dews are wet,
And winds sighed soft around the mountain's brow—
And all was rapture then—which is but memory now!!

THE AFFAIRS OF CANADA.

The Duke of WELLINGTON moved an address for copies
of the correspondence between the secretary of state for the
colonies and Sir F. Head, and for copies of the despatch of
Sir J. Colborne respeCting the establishment of rectories in
Upper Canada.
Lord MELBOURNE said that there would be no objection
produce such documents as Sir F. Head might deem requi-
site for his vindication ; and suggested that the motion should
be so amended as to call for extracts instead of requiring the
whole of the papers.
The Duke of WELLINGTON observed that at one time he
had thought that Sir F. Head's correspondence would not be
required for his vindication ; but after what he nad seen of
Earl purham's report, he now considered copies or extracts
necessary.

The Earl of ABERDEEN was of opinion that it would not
be practicable to' legislate regarding the Canadas satisfactorily
until they had these documents.
The motion, as suggested by Lord Melbourne, was ulti-
mately agreed to ; and the production of Lord Glenelg's let-
ter on the motion of Lord Durham, was afterwards ordered.
Lord DUNCANNON presented various returns regarding
turnpike trusts.
Lord MELBOURNE at the same time informing the Mar-
quis of Salisbury there were Other papers desired by him that
were not so easily obtainable.
Their lordships then adjourned till Monday.
