Since (t

mithe 17th of September) negotiations have been going on,
and, from all we can hear, it is generally believed that the
plenipotentiary is to proceed to Canton to meet Khe Shan,
and then to settle affairs, if possible. A portion of the troops
remain here to hold this place until matters are finally settled.
When the interview took place, Khe Shan, the imperial com-
missioner, gave the party a splendid breakfast. The Chinese
government are much alarmed at our being in possession of
Chusan ; they do not like our being so near their capital, and
they wilt endeavour to keep us to the s ,uthward. The island
of Lintao is spoken of as the place most likely where the

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN 6

The good demand noticed yesterday has continued throughout
to-day, and from 4,000 to 5,000 bales have been sold at full prices,
the market closing with a tendency upwards, and several holders
withdrawing their stocks for higher prices since the departure of
the Boston Mail Steamer.

THURSDAY EVENING

The arrival of the overland mail from India, bringing very im-
portant news from China, bas caused a very excited market, and
had holders offered their stocks freely, a large business would have
been done ; as it is, from 8,000 to 10,000 bales have been sold at an
advance of id to id per lb on yesterday's prices for all descriptions
of Cotton, particularly Swats, of which there are very few sellers.
The trade have bought sparingly, and half of the business to-day
has been for speculative account. There has been a good deal of
excitement, and many think that the intelligence does not warrant
so rapid an advance ; and from the middling purchases made by
the trade, it is evident thay will only buy for their immediate wants.
Brazil Cotton is getting scarce, and holders very firm for higher
prices.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1841-01-08

No movement southward is expected from Chusan before
the 15th of October. The admiral was to leave Chusan for
Ningpo in one of the steamers on the 30th of September,
and the Blenheim was warping out for the same destination.
The emperor is greatly annoyed at our occupation of Chusan,
and his minister hinted " that the admiral' visit had pre-
♦ented the march of fierce soldiers to retake the island.'

The 'Malacca papers have got up a story, that accounts
have been received there that our ships of war had taken the
Bogue forts, and after forcing the passage of the Bocea,
Tigris had proceeded to Canton. It is feared that this is
not correct.

Great complaints are made of the unhealthiness of the
men in the expedition against Chusan ; the weather at this
place is represented as cold and unhealthy. Mortality sp.-
pears to prevail. Captain Stean, of her Majesty's 49th, had
died. The fleet, however, was plentifully supplied with
provisions.

EGYPT.

The Advices from Alexandria come down to the 24th ult.,
On which day the Great Liverpool sailed with the India mails.
The plague had appeared at Alexandria earlier than usual,
and several deaths had been announced. • Ibrahim. Pacha was
still at Damascus with his army, to which he had returned in
ill health, in the expectation that the Napier convention
would have admitted of his returning to Alexandria by sea.
Mehemet had again written to Adtnirail Stopford, offering to
expedite the return of his son. Sir Charles Smyth arrived at
Alexandria in the Hydra on the 17th ultimo, and after an in-
terview with the Pacha, placed that steamer at his disposal
for the purpose of conveying his dispatch to Marmorice. Sir
Charles left Alexandria in the Great Liverpool. Sickness
prevaled at Acre to an alarming extent. The absurd conduct
of the new Turkish governor had greatly exasperated the
mountaineers • indeed, there seems to be no hope that the
Porte will be able to govern the Lebanon. Mehemet AB con-
tinued still to make preparations defence, in the event of the
rejection of Admiral Stopford's proposals by the Porte.

ALEXANDRIA, DEC. 24, Noon.
The Great Liverpool is starting with the Indian mail and
passengers, and I have only time to mention that the Pacha
has received intelligence (through the French Consulate at
Damascus) that Ibrahim Pacha had a desperate engagement
with the Druses on the 4th of this month, at Zahle, in which
he had defeated them, with the loss of 5,000 men and 20 of
their chiefs. The latter were put to death after the battle.
Ibrahim's force is estimated at 70,000 men, with 30,000
women and children. He had put his troops in winter
clothing, and was intent on resuming his march southwards,
to enter Egypt as soon as the weather permitted.
The mails and passengers from Suez having crossed the
desert in safety under the Pacha's escort of horse, arrived
here an hour after midnight, and were taken on board with-
out delay this morning.

Sir Charles Smith is also on board the Liverpool, going
certainly as far as Gibraltar, perhaps to England. He leaves
Colonel Mitchell in command on the coast of Syria. Rein-
forcements are spoken of as absolutely necessary to compen-
sate for the sickness experienced there by the British as well
as Turkish troops.
The Cleopatra steamer left Bombay on the Ist of Decem-
ber, and arrived at Suez on the 18th, at three, p.m., and at
Alexandria on the 24th, at one, a.m.

had holders offered their stocks freely, a large business would have
been done ; as it is, from 8,000 to 10,000 bales have been sold at an
advance of *d to id per lb on yesterday's prices for all descriptions
of Cotton, particularly Surats, of which there are very few sellers.

so rapid an advance ; and from the middling purchases made by
the trade, it is evident thay will only buy tor their immediate wants.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JANUARY 5.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.)
Although the winds have been westerly since Tuesday last, and
have admitted arrivals, partially, of Grain and Flour from Ireland,
the United States, Canada, the Baltic, and coastways, from London,
to a considerable extent, still the imports have not come up to the
general expectations, and with a demand only to a very limited
extent, we can note no alteration in prices of any article in the
corn trade during the week.
The thaw did continue from Tuesday until yesterday, (Monday)
since which we have had a recurrence of very severe frost.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports is increased to 27s 8d per
quarter, and on Flour to 1667 rrl per barrel; also, on Barley, Indian
Corn and Buck Wheat, to 13s 10d per quarter since Friday last;—
on other Grain no alteration. The transactions in bonded Grain
and Flour have been so trivial, we can only quote them nominally.
At this day's market, we had a full attendance of town millers
and dealers, but very few from the country, who bought very
sparingly and timidly for their immediate wants, and to a very
small extent of every kind of Grain at barely the prices of this day
week. Some Flour is scarce and in demand at fully our last
quotations ; but the quadttty of sweet Flour have experienced a
temporary increase from Canada, was more difficult to sell at a
decline of 6d to is per barrel and per sack.

BANKRUPTS.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1841-01-08

nexion with the recent melancholy shipwrecks and loss of
life at this port, to speak of a man whose name, as we then
stated, was in every persons mouth, viz. Mr. Martin
Douglass, formerly of this town, who, for many years, 'was
ever first in the scene of danger to save life in cases of ship-
wreck. Since that lamentable occurrence the circumstances
of many of Mr. Douglass's exertions have been made' the
subject of conversation at numerous firesides in this neigh-
bourhood. The intense anxiety with which the accounts
were received by the juvenile hearers, while their sires or
granilsires were communicating the details, afforded many
proofs of the general feeling of sympathy that pervades the
human breast, when the peril of human life is brought under
our serious consideration, and tended greatly to show, that
we are almost as susceptible of sympathetic impressions when
scenes of danger are related that are past or distant, as
when the occurrences have been witnessed by our own eyes.
For the entertainment of our readers generally, who take an
interest in such matters, we have compiled a few of the most
interesting 'of the occurrences in question, in which Mr.
Douglass's skill and intrepidity have been manifested; a
perusal of which, we doubt not, will be considered worthy of
attention.
About forty years ago, a new vessel of about 300 tons bur-
then, named the Ajax, Captain Hall, sailed out of this harbour
with part of her cargo of coals on board, it being intended to
ship the remainder in the roads out of keels, which was then'
customary with large vessels, as the great improvements in
deepening the harbour were not then effected. A violent
storm came on, and the vessel became so much' endangered
that all hopes of saving the crew, consisting of thirteen per-
sons, together with a custom-house officer, were given up by
the people generally on shore, fot: at that time no life-boat
was established here. The vessel either broke from, or
dragged her anchors, so that she drove upon a rock to the
north of the harbour. The danger of going off to her was
therefore greatly increased, as it was considered that, in such
a tremendous sea, no boat could live one moment among the
rocks in broken water. This being the opinion of the most
experienced of the pilots and seamen, all others followed their
example, anti none would attempt an effort to save the crew,
until Martin Douglass, who was then an active young man,
of undaunted courage, and possessing great skill as, a pilot.
boldly volunteered to go off to the vessel in a coble. With
much difficulty he succeeded in prevailing upon other three
men to accompany him. After a long and severe struggle
they reached the vessel, and succeeded in taking part of the
crew froin the foretop, to which they had fled for safety, ai
they were in danger of being washed off the deck by the sea
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1841-01-08

BOMBAY, DEC. 1, 1840.—November has leen an important
month in India. The points of highest interest are four—
viz., Affghanistan, Scinde, Lahore, and China.
In Affghanistan the attempts of Dost Mahomed to master
that country have failed. He was totally defeated on the 2d
of November by Major-General Sir Robert Sale, and having
escaped from the battle, he fled to Cabul, and surrendered
himself to the British Envoy (Sir W. M'Naghten). Several
excellent officers have fallen in the conflicts—viz., Captain
Conolly, Dr. Lord, Lieutenant Broadfoot, and Lieutenant
Crispin, and others were wounded. The surrender of the
Dost will, it is hoped, secure peace to Schah Soojah.
In Scinde there has been some fighting. Misseer, the
young Khan of Beloochistan, with 5000 men, attacked, plun-
dered, and burned Dadur, in sight of an intrenched camp of
400 British sepoys, who dared not hazard themselves out, of
their fortified position. The Beloochees took their plunder
to the hills, but before they left Dadur, one of their chiefs,
who had the care of Lieutenant Loveday, the late British po-
litical agent in Khelat, had him murdered beside a tree, to
which he was tied as a prisoner. The body was found warm
by the British troops under Major Boscawen, and a faithful
servant who attended Lieutenant Loveday to the last told the
details. General Nott, at the head of a corps of the Bengal
army, entered Khelat on, the 4th, but he found it undefended
and empty.

In Laliore, Maharajah Kurruck Singh, the son and suc-
cessor to the far famed Runjeet, died on the sth, as it is said,
of the effects of poison and had treatment. One of his wives
and some female attendahis were burnt with his body. His
son and heir, Nou-Nehal Sinah, a violent opponent of the
British, on returning from the funeral met with an accidept ;
the great beam of one of the gates fell on the elephant on
which he was riding, killed one of his friends, and so severely
ihjured the young king that he lived but a few hours. His
death has lessened the risk of war in Lahore. The want of a
lawful heir was much felt. Shere Singh, an illegitimate son
of Runjeet, has been raised to the throne. One of Nou-
Nehal's wives claims it for a child, of which she states herself
to be pregnant three months.

SALFORD CATTLE

MARKET, JAN. 6

There was a much better show of Beasts to-day than on this day
week, but of Sheep much about the same. The quality of Beef
was very good, hut it exceeded the demand, prices gave way id per
lb. Prime Mutton as last reported. Best Beef, 6d to 6&d; in-
ferior, 5d to 6d. Best Mutton, 6,i to 'Zit'; middling and Ewes, 5d
to bid per lb sinking the offal.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN '1

The severity of the weather, hardens the nerves of holders of
Butter, and prices axe looking up. There is not any alteration in
the value of pickled Butter—the demand steady. Good Beef is
fully as dear ;—but low qualities are plentiful, and may be purchased
upon easy terms. There is a little enquiry for Pork, but nothing
important will occur until ►he spring demand has commenced.
Bacon is quite as dear, 505 to 52s being a fair quotation for good
stuff.

THE WATERLOO COURSING MEETING.

This great coursing meeting commenced on Tuesday, at
Altcar. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the
day, a goodly number of keen sportsmen, whom no weather
could daunt, hurried early to the ground. Like the redoubt-
able Tam o' Shanter, they
Skelpit on through dub and mire,
Despising wind and rain.
Though the moisture, which descended ceaselessly, wetted
their jackets, it could not damp their ai dour. Of course, a
finer day would have insured a better muster, but under the
circumstances the attendance may be considered excellent.
The dogs generally showed themselves in good condition, and
the hares ran in first-rate style. The following is the result
