Lord Nugent, disappointed of a seat in the legislature,
sought and readily obtained from the stern patriots of Mary-
lebone—who dearly love a lord—a seat in the Anti-Corn
League. His lordship's good taste has, however, at last in-
duced him to withdraw from an assembly, the staple argu-
ments of which were abuse and slander of his nearest relative.
Unable to become the mentor of the league, Lord Nugent
now threatens to become its censor ; his lordship appears
wishful to persue, what is termed an independent course ; but
it is to be apprehended that the noble lord will continue to
realise Mr. Canning's joke, by still exhibiting an enormous
breach of neutrality.
NOVEL APPLICATION OF THE DAGUERROTYPE.—The
French police have availed themselves of the expedition and
accuracy of this mode of taking likenesses. As soon as a
great or notorious criminal falls into their hands, they take
his likeness by means of the Daguerreotype, and send copies
of it to the several agents of police ; so that, if he should
escape from one charge, he may, if accused of another, in a
different part of France, be easily recognised as an old
offender. Certainly M. Daguerre never contemplated such
an application of his type. Les ayens de police, as they are
called, are much indebted to him.

IMPORTANT TO TOLLGATE KEEPERS.—John Alston,
keeper of the Netherfield tollgate, Westmoreland, appeared
before the magistrates at the Town-hall, Kendal, on Friday,
to answer a charge laid by the post-office inspector for de-
taining the mail on the sth of October last at the tollbar.
Mr. Pearson, of Kirkby Lonsdale, appeared on behalf of
Alston, and Mr. Dunn on behalf of the post-office. The
case was gone into at considerable length, and, after a patient
consideration of several apparently conflicting acts of parlia-
ment, Alston was convicted of the charge and ordered to pay
a fine, mitigated, on account of the slight nature of the of-
fence, to one farthing, together with costs.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.M

The demand for Cotton to-day has been much on a par
with yesterday's, viz., to the extent of 3500 bales, at similar
prices, with a very steady but quiet market. The sales for
the week amount to 24,820 bales, of which speculators have
taken 2900 American, and 1000 bales for export. Prices of
