We have had another dull. week in our Cotton Market,
and prices of American have receded another id. per lb.
below those of last week. Surats and Maranhams also,
have declined. The sales of the week were 20,710 bales,
of which 1680 were for export, and 1900 on speculation.
The total imports have been 38,447 bales. The stock on
hand does not perceptibly increase, being still scarcely
half of that of the corresponding period of last year. The
imports fromJndia, however, pxomise this year a consi-
derably increased supply; and a good crop in the United
States, aidedby the diminished consumption by our ma-

regards thi4 important staple, and bring its price down to
the level of that of the manufactured article.
The manufacturing districts are, if possible, in a worse
condition than last week ; and it is seriously mooted to

to a united course of action. The accounts from the In-

and it is argued that suspensiom is the only course which
can enable spinners and manufacturers to bring the pric

BRITISH AMERICAN SYMPATILY FOR IRELAND.—Th

containing 3000 barrels of flour, .a free offering. The gc

shall have become adjusted, no general nor per-
ioration need be expected.

however, has been done. For yarns there was more enquiry,
at lower rates ; but in cloth, neither as regards price nor de-
mand, was there any change."
The Corn Markets have again declined throughout the
country, Liverpool, however, continuing to feel the de-
pression least, the imports here being readily taken off
for consumption at a slight reduction. The weather for
the last few days has been broken, and a fair quantity of
rain has fallen, which was much wanted for the green
crops. The harvest, however, may now be considered
as beyond danger, most of the grain in this and the
hem counties being got in. A feeling of great inse•

Buyers, however, will not be persuaded to
this view of things; and transactions in consequenr
are only from hand to mouth.

We understand that a sermon will be preached at St.
Barnabas' Church, on Sunday evening next, by the Rev.
F. T. Mc. Dougal, who is going out immediately as mis-
sionary to the Island of Borneo, where the career of
James Brooke has been so remarkable.
SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morning, Margaret
Burns, aged 39 years, who lived in Launcelot's Hey, went
into the -yard, apparently well, and was there found in-
sensible. She died soon after. She was much given to

drinking. 1
MADEMOISELLE JENNY Lirro.—We are gratified in ,
being enabled to inform our readers, that this distinguished ,
cantatrice will attend the Theatre Royal this evening ;
having expressed a wish to be present, a private box is
reserved for her. We have no doubt numbers will be
glad of the opportunity of seeing an artiste who has made
so wonderful a sensation in the musical world.
LIVERPOOL CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS As-
SOCIATION.—We perceive that the Rev. Hugh WlSreile
will preach a sermon on Thursday evening next in St.
Jude's church, to the teachers in the Sunday schools of
the Church of England. We have no doubt that all such
persons will be glad to have an opportunity of hearing' so
eloquent and complete an exposition of their duties, re-
sponsibilities, and privileges, as will doubtless be afforded
them by this opportunity.
SMUGGLING.—At the Police-court yesterday, a seaman
named William Jones, was charged with smuggling 18 lb.
of foreign raw tobacco, which he had put into a bag, and
was taking away from the Brunswick Dock, in a wheel-
barrow. He was remanded until the instructions of the
Board of Excise Commissioners in London respecting him
be received. Another seaman, a German, for concealing
5 lb. of manufactured tobacco, was fined 505., or in de-
fault, to be imprisoned fourteen days.
HISTORICAL PAINTING OF THE LAYING OF THE FOUN-
DATION STONE OF THE SAILORS' HOME.—We learn that
it is projected by an able artist, Mr. Tatham, to paint a
large picture, with likenesses of the principal parties pre-
sent, of the scene presented on the occasion of the founda-
tion of the Liverpool Sailors' Home being laid by Prince
Albert. We have had shewn to us a beautiful lithographed
impression of one of the portraits to be introduced—that
of the Dock Chairman, Mr. 3. Bramley-Moore, which is
a striking and spirited likeness ; and if the other portraits
in the tableau be at all approaching to it in merit, the pic-
ture will be a most valuable and interesting one. Tn ad-
dition to likenesses of the Prince and his suite, those of
most of our local ilite will be given in the painting, among
