COTTONT—The enquiry for Cotton considerably
revived 14it week, particallirly fur the. ErJzil descrip-
tions ; the ttade were the only purchasers ;—the
sales are estimated at 1800 bags-600 Pernams fair
23d. goosl quality 2i. 460 Maranhams and Bahias
ad. a 114c1. a small parcel Bowed: at 19d. They
East India descriptilns met a heavy sale on account
of the extensive quantity declared by the Company ;
the Bengali were a shade lower ; 4OO low Surat%
were sold in the house at 1 IV. 300 Bengals at
101 d. a I!4d.

" LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 28.—As the stock of
Boweds and Orleans Cotton has been getting into a
narrow compass, there has been a good enquiry this
week far these two descriptions, bat in other kimis
' eery little has been done by private contract ;
prices remain without alteration. Of the Cottons
brought forward by auction yesterday only about
400 were sold ; these went off steadily, viz. 275 De-
nseraras at 181 d. to 201 d. for very inferior to fair ;
.21d. to 2241 for good fair to clean and fine, ave-
raging 21d. per pound ; 107 &abash*. at 1S d. to
19d. and one lot at 190. 19 Bahamas 2(4d. to 21J.
the rest of the Demeraras were withdrawn, as the
prices offered did not quite reach the valuations of
the owners. The other sales of the week consist of
1020 Bowed. at 171 d. to 19d. for inferior to gocd
fair, 191 d. to 200. for good to prime ; 480 Orleans,
at 191.4 for good lair. to 31 id. tor good-knd one lot'
prime 221 d. 330 Pernams at -23,14. toVs. Cid. 280
Maranhao). at 220, to Md. WO Baffles at 2'4.1.
30 Pleas at 211 d. to 22d. 340 Demerara: at 20J. to
23d. 15 Bengals at Mid. to 15d. making with those
sold by auction 2296 bags. The arrivals have been
considerable, say 6733 bags, amongst which are about
1500 from Charleston, principally of the new crop,
and 1947 from Bengal."

Suoaa..—There have been no Muscovades on shew
since our last until this morning, when considerable
interest was excited by a report that a very extensive'
distiller had been privately offering for large parcels
of Muscovades ; In consequence of this runwqr, the
holdeh in general were not inclined to effect sales,
anticipating that so unusual an occurrence might be
the consequence of sob). information ;respecting the
stopping of distillation from Grain ; there is no
doubt that in Ireland and Scotland the probability
of the stoppage is very prevalent, as the pressure upon
the lower classes, from the high price of provisions is
excessive, and where good bread corn is absolutely
scarce ; the quartern loaf in Dublin is Is. 90. Itt
lonsequence of the reports we have alluded to, the
holders of Muscovades were asking higher prices, and
as. the trade 'hewed no inclination to comply with
sty advance, less business was effected than would
otherwise have been the case in the first of the day ;
towards the close of the market, there were rather
extensive purchases ; one house alone sold hom four'
to SOO hhds. the prices may be stated fully one shit.
ling higher, with a much greater and general dispo-
titian to purchase. The total sales in the market are
estimated at 2000 casks.

Early in last week there were several purchases
made in the Re6ned market; the holders were asking
prices a shade higher ; the request has since subsi-
ded there is no variation-in the prices.
There were no Foreign Sugars on sale last week ;
this forenoon, we believe, no sales of any description
have been effected.

Corral. —There were no public sake of Coffee du-
ring last week ; the demand by private contract was
considerable, particularly for Foreign and East India
descriptions ; there were no sellers unless at a farther
advance of Is a 2s. per cwr. several parcels, were re-
ported to be taken at the improvement we have men-
tioned.

Inn Pnovultoxs, itc.--Indin Provisions and prime
new Mess are •till in short supply ;It is particu-
la►ly scarce the trade continee to make inquiry af-
ter the descriptions we have enumerated. Bacon is
without variation ; the Buttcr•market continues in a
depressed state,•no material decline in the prices has,
however, been submitted to.

TOACCO.—There is no etport at present, owing to
the season of the year r several parcels of Virginia
Tobacco reported to have changed hands, but no al.
tendon can be stated in the prices s the holders refuse
to submit to any depression to facilitate sales.

Ott.s.—The demand for common Oils appeals ra-
ther to increase ; the other descriptions arc on the
dkeline. Linseed Oils are a shade lower on account
of the very considerable imparts of Seed.
Rics.---The prices are nearly nominal : a confident
expects:lbn exists that Government will take off the
import duty of 20s. during the present high prices of
provisions
Rum, BammT, AND HOLLANINL—One or two par-
cels of low Jamaica Rums have been sold at a small
depression ; the other descriptions are unvariel No
sales of Geneva. Brandies are declining ; the busi-
ness effected has been very trivial.

EPITAPH MA IKI MG. ••••• Some years since, a Mr. Dint-
son, who was Provost of Dundee, died, ankrby will,
left one guinea to a person to compose an epitaph
upon him, which som he directed the three Executors
to pay. The Executors. thinking to defraud the Poet,
agreed to meet and share the guinea among thi:m.
selves, each contributing a line to the epitaph, which
ran as follows :
lit. Herr lies Dieksoo, Provost of Dunthe
Off. Here lies Dichsoo—hers has he.
The third was put to k fur wlong limo, but unwil-
ling to lose his shariof the guinea, vociferously bawled
