LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 19.
The depressed state of trade in the manufacturing districts
has now given a decided check to consumption, and the trade
continue to buy very sparingly. Since the arrival of the
steamer on Monday, speculators have suspended their opera-
tions ; the business of the week consequently is very limited,
and a further decline of id. per lb. has been submitted to in all
descriptions. Speculators have taken 1250 American, and ex-
porters 100 American. 200 Surat, and 750 Egyptian. 250 Sea

VIADUCTS AND OTHER RAILWAY WORK.
THE attention of RAILWAY ENGINEERS, AR-
CHITECTS, and CONTRACTORS, is particularly directed
to the great advantages to be derived from the application of
SEYSSEL ASPHALTE, as the only impervious and permanent
Covering for Arches and Roofs, and Lining of Reservoirs,
Gutters, &c.
The arrangements of CLAIIIIncE'S PATENT ASPHALTE COM-
PANY ehable it to execute Works of any extent with the great-
est promptitude.
In order to guard against the use of spurious materials, it is
important that all applications for Works to be executed, be
made direct to this Company ; and as a further protection, it
is suggested that Engineers, Architects, and Contractors should
require a CERTIFICATE from the Company that the proper
description of material has been used.
Information may be obtained as to all Works which have
been executed by the Company since its establishment in 1838,
which will prove tb..:- the failure of many Works represented
to have been done wit', the genuine material, has resulted from
the substitution of a sparions one.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY OF A CURE FOR NERVOUS
OR MIND COMPLAINTS.
. Just Published, Fifth Thousand, and thay be had
-

FOR NOTHING, a PAMPHLET, on MIND and
NERVOUS COMPLAINTS, and on the new and only
successful means of curing those obstinate maladies, as disco-
vered and employed by Mr. WM. ADAMS, 23, Doughty-street,
Mecklenburgh-square, London.
There are hundreds of persons who, in the midst of plenty,
are harrassed and annoyed by an endless variety of anomalous
and painful feelings, which embitter existence, render life a
daily misery, and convert even social endearments into sources
of irritation and pique.
Such are solicited to read the above Pamphlet. In it they
will perceive the necessity for and the advantages of immediate
recourse to the treatment, sanctioned by experience and by the
testimonials of the cured.

Will be•sent to any address, post paid, on receipt of two
stumps.
TERMS.—The means of Cure can be sent to all parts of the
world, with full directions, and the patient cured at home, or
more expeditiously by a temporary residence in London.
The only charge made is the averaged cost price of the means
of Cure—One Guinea per week.
Respectable but poor persons pay only half of the averaged
cost price—Half a Guinea per week.

On the Ist of January. General Taylor sent forward Col.

pass leading to Linares, and was attacked by a large body
of the enemy, and his rear guard cut off by rolling large

a single horseman. Colonel May managed to get through
with the main body of his force, and reached a spot where
he was enabled to dismount and return to succour the
rear guard. But it was too late : the enemy had retreated
with their prisoners. At one time May's dragoons were
almost at the mercy of .the enemy, had the latter dis-

occujied was directly over the heads of the troops.
Mays loss had not been ascertained, nor whether he had
any men killed. There can be no doubt, however, that
some had fallen. Generals Taylor, Twiggs, Patterson,
and Pillow were at 'Victoria wih a large force. General
Shields, with 650 men, marched from Tampico on the
10th towards Altamira, with the supposed intention of
opening communications with General Taylor at Victoria.
From two to three thousand Mexican troops were between
Tampico and Victoria, with which it was supposed Gen.
Shields might have an engagement. The force remaining
at Tampico numbered 950 men. Colonel 1
