NEW BISHOPRIC OF NATAL. —The consent of her
Majesty's government has been obtained to the immediate
creation of an English bishopric at Natal, at present
under the episcopal jurisdiction of the Bishop of Cape
Town. It is stated that the first appointment will be
given to the Rev. T. W. Weeks, M.A., incumbent of St.
Thomas's Church, Waterloo-road, London.
THE EAST INDIAN CHARTER.—A very important peti-
tion to parliament has been forwarded to this country
from Bombay. The petitioners pray for inquiry into the
practical working of the Indian government, and suggest
many reforms. The existing system of the despotic and
secret method in which the administration of the local
governments is conducted is reprobated ; the claims of
natives to fill judicial positions are urged ; the cost of the
civil service is complained of ; the deficient means of in-
ternal communication are pointed out ; and stress is laid
upon the fact that, although the net revenue is £1,028,285,
the government devotes only £12,000 for educational pur-
-1 poses. The petition has already received 3,000 signatures.

THE PRINCE ARTHUR EMIGRANT SHIP.

THE strong desire to share in the riches of the Australian
gold fields is, with most persons, considerably damped by
the fears of the discomforts in the " middle passage."
It is therefore of great importance that in fitting out
emigrant ships the utmost care should be taken to provide
for the comfort of the passengers ; and int
grants will do well to regard this point be‘'
themselves to a voyage of uncertain length and dangers
little known. Among the many vessels announced to
start for the gold fields, the Prince Arthur, named after
the youngest scion of the Royal stock, has a prominent
title
and since to public favour. She was built at Quebec last year,
purchased by Mr. Wm. Sharp, of this town,
under whose inspection she has been entirely overhauled
and fitted for the Australian trade. She registers 1,146
tons, and may be classed about 2,000 tons burthen. She
has been put together with every regard to strength and
speed, and her ponderous timbers are well fastened with
iron knees and bracines. She is 173 feet long ;31 feet
beam ; depth of hold, 23 feet. She has very stout spars,
neatly rigged, and will carry about 4,000 yards of canvas,
under which she can make thirteen knots an hour, " fair
sailing." She has a poop deck and topgallant forecastle,
connected by a long deck-house, and over the whole a
clear promenade 160 ft. long. There is a passage on each
side of the main deck, with every protection for passen-
gers in heavy weather. The houses and quarter-deck are
appropriated for saloons, one of them the chief cabin, and
ahead of this the Prince's, Victoria, and Albert Saloons;
the sides of which are panelled into state rooms with
.lee Ping berths, ventilated above and below. They are all
tight and roomy apartments, neatly decorated, and having
galleys for
a ver cheerful appearance. There are spacious cooking
passengers, and under the forecastle there are
tacked.

Mr. WALTHEW said Mr. Sharp had already named
that he had a good ship ; but they all knew that a good
ship was nothing without a good captain. He had great
pleasure in proposing the health of Captain King. He
had a serious responsibility in taking charge of a ship like
that, for he had also to take charge of nearly 500 souls,
who would probably be on board before leaving the port.
Prom the antecedents of Captain King, they might hope
that he would fulfil that duty efficiently ; and, from what
he could judge of the intercourse which he had already
had with him, he felt perfectly satisfied that he would
study the comfort and convenience of all the passengers.
They all knew that a great deal was done by civility; and,
although he might hav ehassengers in the cabin more im-
Inediately connected whim, }`the should pay the same
attention to the most inferior,to the one who occupied
the between-decks, equally with him who dined at his
own table. In drinking Captain King's health, he could

instances, a slight concession, whilst a few puns. of proof Lee-
wards have brought 2s. per gallon.—The sales in common Con-

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, JANUARY 7

The market after the taking of stock became rather dull, but
upon the arrival of the steamer on Tuesday, advising higher
prices in America, resumed its firmness. Subsequently the
Arctic's accounts being less favourable, holders evinced more
disposition to realise, and although no change can be made in
quotations, rather easier rates have since been accepted.
Egyptian continues in the same nominal state, and Brazil
must be quoted *d. per lb. lower. The demand for Surat con-
tinues fair, and prices are without material change. Specula-
tors have taken 1430 American, 50 ➢laranham, 100 Egyptian,
and 640 Surat ; and there are reported for export, 600 Ameri-
can, 20 Pernam, ISO Surat, and 50 Madras. The market closed
heavily ; sales about 4000 bales.

MARKET,

LIVERPOOL CORN
FRIDAY, JANUARY 7

At this day's market good red Wheats were in fair request
for consumption at full rates ; other descriptions less inquired
for to-day, but no variation in the general currency can be
noted ; upon the whole, only a moderate extent of business
done. Flour continues dull, but, without pressure to sell at
lower prices, some concession should necessarily be made to
effect more than retail progress in sales. In Barley, Malt, and
Peas no change. The demand for Beans slackening, and
prices 6d. per qr. lower. Oats are held for Tuesday's rates
but the trade very quiet ; and in Oatmeal little has been done:
though there are still buyers, at a slight concession, both of
parcels in store and cargoes afloat. Indian Corn on the spot
in limited demand, and no further sales of floating cargoes
reported.—We annex Tuesday's quotations :
