LIVERPOOL MARKETS.—Tries DA.Y.

CORN EXCHANGE.

From the continuance of adverse winds, the arrivals of
Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal into this port, between Tuesday
last and to-day, have been very inconsiderable. The millers
and dealers,' however, seeming determined to wait in antici-
pation of better supplies ere long, the business passing in
any article of the Corn trade in the course of that period has
been extremely unimportant, but without producing any
decisive change in the general quotations previously esta-
blished.

The duties announced this morning are the same as last
week, except on Beans, now raised to Ils., and on Oats,
reduced to 10s. 9d. per quarter.

Having at this day's market a much more slender attend-
ance of town and country buyers than for some time past,
and a general disposition to remain almost wholly inactive,
we may briefly remark that the trade for Grain of all de-
scriptions was exceedingly dull. As, however, the display
of samples was more limited than usual, and the holders in
consequence exhibited no anxious desire to press sales on
lower terms, the currency stated in our last report appeared
to remain unvaried.

English and foreign free Flour appeared also to command
little notice to-day, while American, in bond, has continued
to meet inguiry, and from 3000 to 4000 barrels have changed
hands since Tuesday, at 31s. per barrel ; with few sellers
under 325., which is now required but not obtained.
Oatmeal, although in slow request, was held with firmness
at late prices.

BROTHELS AND PROSTITUTES

While the number of thieves has diminished, there has
been an increase in the numbers of brothels and prostitutes.
In 1838, there were 431 brothels, and 154 houses in which
prostitutes lodged; the number of prostitutes residing in
both being 1695. In 1839, the number of brothels was 591,
and of houses in which prostitutes lodged, 184 ; the total
number of prostitutes inhabiting both, 2414. Part of this
apparent increase is no doubt owing to a greater knowledge
of the prostitutes and their residences by the police, and part
to other circumstances over which, in the present state of
of the law, the police can exert no control.

COURT CIRCULAR, TUESDAY.

Her Majesty had a dinner party, last evening, at Bucking-
ham
Palace. The company consisted of their Royal High-
nesses the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta of
Cambridge, and the Duke of Sussex, his Serene Highness
the Hereditary Prince of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the Countess
of Lichfield, the Earl of Erroll, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl and
Countess of Surrey and Lady Mary Howard, Earl of March,
Viscount Melbourne, Lord and Lady Cowley and the Hon.
Miss Wellesley, Lord and Lady Kinnaird, Lord Fitzalan,
Lord Robert Grosvenor, Baron de Heringen, Lady Barham,
Lady Fanny Howard, Miss Kerr, Hon. Miss Lister, Hon.
Miss Murray, Baroness Lehzen, Marquis of Headfort, Gen.
the Hon. Sir William Lumley, Col. Wemyss, Col. Wylde,
Mr. Seymour, Baron de Lowenfels, and Baron de Gruben.
The dinner was served in the state dinner room. This
apartment, since last season, has been greatly improved : it
has a vaulted ceiling, divided into panels, enriched with
carved stucco work of a very elegant and tasteful de-
sign, having three .large circular compartments in the cen-
tre. Many of the mouldings and ornaments in relief have
been gilt, and the entire ceiling and walls have been fresh
coloured ; pier glasses of the largest dimensions occupy the
spaces between all the windows; the draperies also are new,
and of the richest description. The effect of the whole being
very magnificent and striking. At the end of the room is a
square recess not extending to the full height of the apart-
ment, and over it is an ante-room where the band of the Ist
life guards were stationed last evening during dinner. The
back of the recess is fitted up with large mirrors in gold
frames. The style of ,the room is now in unison with the
other state apartments with which it communicates. The
grand hall and sculpture gallery have also been embellished
since last year. All the capitals of the numerous Corinthian
colnmns have been gilt, and some of the mouldings in the
entablature, the soffitas of the architrave, and ovolos of the
ceiling have been gilt, thus relieving the whole of the ceilings.
In the grand hall four new lanterns furnished by Messrs.
Perry have been introduced of a very handsome design.
The Queen gave audiences, yesterday, to the Marquis of
Normanby and Viscount Melbourne.
Colonel Wemyss has relieved Lcrd Alfred Paget in the
duty of equerry in waiting on her Majesty.
Her Majesty the Queen-dowager visited the Princess
Augusta yesterday, at Clarence House, St. James's. Her
Majesty honoured Messrs. Copeland and Garrett with a visit
to their manufactory yesterday.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.

T_
HE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficuleadjust-
rnent as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June:last, common black
teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as Cs. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER Will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even llyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUN POWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PIED-
DING" is upon every genuine package.

TEE SULPHUR MONOPOLY.

Lord LYNDHURST drew the attention of the house to the
monopoly of the trade in sulphur.

Lord MELBOURNE said, that the strongest representations
hid been sent out, and that the British minister had been di-
rected to state to the government of Naples, that we must
insist on the fulfilment of the conditions of the treaty Lord
Lyndhurst had referred to.

Lord LYNDHURST said, that 18 months had now elapsed
since this infraction of the treaty, which was said to be the
subject of the negociation which had been proclaimed. He
should like to know what had been done during that period
to put an end to the general losses sustained by the British
merchants. He was told that it amounted to £l,OOO a day
at the lowest estimate. •

Lord MELBOURNE.—We have had a promise from the
Neapolitan government, and unquestionably it now rests with
ministers to insist on the fulfilment of that promise. -
Lord LYNDHURST wished to ask the noble viscount whe-
ther he did not know that the Neapolitan government in-
sisted on the continuance of the monopoly for six months
further, dating from the Ist of January last ?
Lord MELBOURNE.—No, I have never heard of such a
condition,

Lord LYNDHURST.--SIX line-of-battle ships sent to
Naples would settle the matter in a fortnight. The house
then adjourned. •

HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY.

Captain Howard took the oaths and his seat for Morpeth.

BEER.

Mr. PAKINGTON brought up the sale of beer bill, which
was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time
on the 18th instant.

CHINA.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM ob;e;V-ed, that as the papers relating
to China had not yet been laid on the table of the house by
government, he should on Thursday next move for an ad-
dress to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be
graciously pleased to give directions that the papers relating
to the events which had led to the interruption of our com-
mercial intercourse with China, be laid before the house
forthwith.

PROMISSORY NOTE TO BE SOLD.
TO be SOLD by PRIVATE CONTRACT, a PRO-

stalments of £240 per annum, and containing a proviso, that
if default be made in the payment of any one Instalment, the
whole of the £1,200 shall immediately become payable. The
notc: is a joint and several note, and is signed by three
Parties, two of whom are sureties for the other. The prin-
cipal Party is a Shopkeeper, in one of the most respectable
Streets in Liverpool; one of the Sureties is also a Shop-
keeper, engaged in au extensive line of business in two of the
princip,al Streets of the Town; and the other Surety is a
Gentleman filling a public office of great trust. The due
payment of the Money is further provided for by a collateral
Security. As circumstances render it necessary that the note
should be disposed of, it will be sold at such a price as will
be exceedingly profitable to a Purchaser. Further informa-
tion will be given on application to Mr. SNOWBALL, Solici-
tor, 16, Castle-street.

IN SOUTH AMERICA.
n 4 R. GEORGE ROBINS has received instructions from
IVI. a leading mercantile house to SELL, by PRIVATE
TREATY, a considerable TRACT of LAND in the
STATE OF VENEZUELA,
IN SOUTH AMERICA.
He would earnestly entreat those capitalists who are disposed
to embark in foreign land, or those who would emigrate, to
weigh well the favourable opportunity which is furnished by
this sale ; firstly, as it regards the great liberality in respect
to price for the property, and accommodation in the pay ment
of it. This alone would justify even a timid speculator to
enter the field of competition, and select this portion of the
globe as the arena of his future operations. It is called
THE HATO VIEJO ESTATE,
and consists of

535 SPANISH FANEGADAS.
It is situate near to the city of Valencia, and not far distant
from P. Cabello, the nearest shipping port, close to the town
of San *Makin, in the parish of that name, and within its
jurisdiction, in the independent State or Republic of Vene-
zuela. The soil is especially adapted to the growth of cane,
coffee, and indigo, and it is also well suited to general agri-
cultural purposes; but it is apprehended the settler's atten-
tion will most probably be turned to the cultivation of indigo,
as there are factories and vats already erected upon the pro-
perty for the preparation of that plant. The growth of coffee
must also of necessity be very productive.
A detailed account is just printed, and may be obtained at
Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden.

BROTHELS AND PROSTITUTES.

While the number of thieves has diminished, there has
been an increase in the numbers of brothels and prostitutes.
In 1838, there were 431 brothels, and 154 houses in which
prostitutes lodged ; the number of prostitutes residing 'in
both being 1695. In 1839, the number of brothels was 591,
and of houses in which prostitutes lodged, 1841 the total
number of prostitutes inhabiting both, 2414. Part of this
apparent increase is no doubt owing to a greater knowledge
of the prostitutes and their residences by the police, and part
to other circumstances over which, in the present state of
of the law, the police can exert no control.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MARCH 4.

The sales on Thursday last were 3500 bags ; Friday 5000 • Satur•
day 2500 ; Monday 3000 ; Tuesday 2500 ; and to-day 3000. The
business done since last week has been very moderate , and the
market has been in a very quiet state. Prices remain without,
change, last week's quotations being easily realized. The non-
arrival of Cotton, owing to the prevalence of easterly winds, has
caused stocks to decrease materially. The week's import amounts
to 4706 bags.
•

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Mkßcii 3.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Owing to a continuance of easterly winds since last Tuesday,
the imports of Grain have again been very moderate, (though some
few arrivals have occurred from the southern ports coastways,)
and the demand has been equally so, but at fully the prices last
quoted for every article in the Corn trade, and on some parcels of
Wheat, of superior quality, a small advance was obtained here and
in the markets of Yorkshire for the past week.
The only alteration in the duties on Grain, from foreign ports,
since Friday, is an increase of is 6d per quarter on Barley, Indian
Corn, and Buck Wheat. Some further parcels of Flour on the
passage from America, and also lying here, in bond, have changed
hands at 30s to 31s, and some small parcels for export at 31s 6d to
32s per barrel. There is some demand for Oats, in bond, for ex-
port, at fully the prices quoted; but all other Grain, in bond, find
sales, as if free, allowing the duties.
Notwithstanding the advance in London yesterday of 2s per qr.
on English \\ heat, proceeding chiefly from the improvement in
its quality by the dry frosty weather which continues to prevail,
we experienced but a very limited demand at this day's market,
and a very thin attendance ; supporting, however, fully the prices
of this day week for every article in the Corn trade.

Impertai ibritamtnt.
HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY.
THE CHURCH.
The Bishop of EXETER presented some petitions refer-
ring to church discipline. The right rev. prelate said it was
his misfortune to be opposed on that subject to the opinions
ot those whose judgment he revered, and whose character he
respected and esteemed; but, in presenting these petitions,
he was authorised to state that communications had taken
place between the bishops, and, he was rejoiced to say, that
they were able to agree together, and to produce such a
measure as would, it was hoped, be satisfactory to the church
at large, and to their lordships.
The Bishop of LONDON confirmed the statement of the
right rev. prelate.

NON-INTRUSION.

The Duke of RlcHtoia,in---PieSenting petitions against
the intrusion of ministers on non-consenting congregations
in Scotland, called on Lord Melbourne to introduce a mea-
sure that would satisfy the moderate men of all parties. If
that were not quickly done, it would be next to impossible to
satisfy any party, and he feared it would be found that it was
beyond the power of parliament to remedy the evil.
Lord MELBOURNE replied that he was not ready to state
that the government would be able speedily to introduce a
measure on the subject, and such a measure ought not to be
introduced without due and mature consideration.

SURVIVORS OF THE VERNON.—The survivors of the crew
of the brig Vernon arrived here yesterday in the schooner
Mercy Jane, from Havana. Six of the pirates were to be
shot the morning that vessel left ; one bad escaped ; the offi-
cer and men who had the pirates in charge were to be impri-
soned, where they were to be kept until his recapture. The
Spanish captain, by whose spirited and noble conduct the
pirates were captured and the survivors rescued, has been
promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the Spanish navy. We
are glad to learn that the merchants of this town intend to
present him with some testimonial of their respect for his
praiseworthy conduct on the occasion.

rOREION INTELLIGENCE,

FRANCE

The strike among the operatives at Paris continues, and it
now excites some degree of alarm. The mail-coach could
not have left the post-ofice on Wednesday evening, if the
different regiments had not sent their smiths to make the
necessary repairs; and the workmen engaged in preparing the
House of Peers for the approaching trial have joined the dis-
contented.

The masons struck on Thursday morning, so that now
almost every branch of trade is suspended. The government
is endeavouring to restrain the movement; but fears are ex-
pressed that it will not be able to do so without resorting to
force, as the men are said to be well supplied with money.
The garrison was under arms in barracks on Thursday, and
our correspondent says the authorities are determined to act
with vigour should the occasion arise. Hitherto the ordi-
nances have been disobeyed, as the meetings continue outside
the barrier, and at night on the boulevards. But if the orders
of the police are further resisted, the garde municipale will
enforce them at the point of the bayonet. Our correspondent
says he is desirous of not creating alarm on this subject, but
he has reason to know that energetic measures will, if neces-
sary, be resorted to. An emeute at this moment would add
materially to the embarrassment of the government. The
decline of the funds of the close of Thursday's market was
said to be owing to the increasing force of the operatives.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 4

The market has remained in the same quiet state as during the
last week, the inquiry from the Trade having been limited ; quota-
tions, however, continue without material alteration, for Importers
do not offer very freely. Surat are now more plentiful, and com-
mon qualities may be purchased on more favourable terms.
Speculators have taken 900 American, and Exporters 450 American,
200 Maranham and 100 Carthagena. There has been forwarded
into the country unsold during the past month 1650 American and
30 Pernambuco. 1000 Surat will be offered by auction, on Friday
next, 11th instant.
