LIVERPOOL COTTON

MARKET, 3 P.M

Our market was unusually quiet for Friday morning, but
the arrival of the Sheridan, from New York, bringing ac-
counts of disturbances on the border, gave a little impetus to
it, and fully 4000 bales have been sold, some hundreds on spe-
culation. The sales of the week are 23,190 bales. Prices
very similar to those of Friday last. The arrival of the
llalifax steamer is looked for with intense anxiety.

TO THE EDITOR OF 2'llE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

SlR,—The anecdote related by the Rev. F. Parry at the an-
niversary of our Protestant Association, respecting the liberal
support which a certain wealthy gentleman gave to literature,
by clubbing with a friend to take the Penny Magazine
weekly, reminds one much of the support which many of
your niggardly politicians give to the conservative press, by
clubbing together to take the Standard, Courier, or Mail, at
half price with a friend, from the Exchange or other news-
rooms. This should not be. When we consider what a mighty
engine the press is, I must say I do think it disgraceful
that the conservative press of this town has not better sup-
port than it has, for there is no mincing the matter that the
radical press is better property in Liverpool than the cmser-
vative. If the Liverpool gentlemen feel so indignant at the
remarks of Mr. Stowell respecting the support given to the
Protestant cause inthe two towns, let them look well to this.
The leading conservative paper of Manchester is decidedly,
good property, and is really well supported by the conserva-
tives of the town. I will maintain, sir, that to give good
support to the conservative press, your merchants and tra-
ders should give their exclusive support to that portion of it,
and, in less than twelve months, they would produce a vast
change in the state of things, and render the conservative
press a vast deal better, as it now is a vast deal more respec-
table, advertising medium than the radical press. lam not
writing in the dark on this subject. For I have been in the
habit of spending sonic hundreds per annum in advertising,
(not in this town,) and I never gave 6d. to the radical press
in my life, and never would consent to give a single adver-
tisement to them. " Our radical contemporaries have not
much to thank me for," and I never wish them to have. It
is common to say that men in business have nothing to do
with politics ; but if I detest radical opinions, and consider
them destructive to the welfare of the country, how can I
consistently do all in my power to spread them, which I un-
doubtedly do, by giving them advertisements: In politics I
am decidedly " an exclusive dealer," and intend to continue
so. I think lam safe in saying, that the radical press of this
town is in a great measure supported by conservative adver-
tising. Although I shall not give my name to this, I enclose
it for any friend who may wish to know it.—l beg to remain,
sir, your obedient servant,

A LEARNED MAYOR.-At the Lichfield municipal regi-
stration court, the learned liberal mayor stated that he could
not decide without coming to a conclusion ! This sage re-
mark was followed by loud peals of laughter.

been dangerously indisposed for nearly a year, returned to his
duties last Sunday.

A correspondent in Wednesday's Times, resident in
Ham-

where no corn-laws exist.

True friendship is like sound health—its value is seldom
