OZDIXA.TION.—On Sunday awning, April 4, at St. Gear.
is's Church, Hanover-square, London, the right rev, the
Lord Bishop of Lichfield held an ordination, at which ser-,
vice, by the request of the right rev, the Lord Bishop of
Chester, the Rev, T. Berry, of this town, was admitted to
holy orders as curate of Christ Church, (late Ebenezer Cha-
pel) Blackburn-street,-Bolton. Tho rev. gent. will officiate
at Emanuel Church, Cannon-street, on Sunday next, the
necessary alterations making in Christ Church not being yet
completed.—Bolton Chronicle.—[The chapel here referred to
belonged formerly to the Methodist New Connexion in Bol-
ton, and the most influential parties connected with the same
have become dedicated to our venerable establishment.]
A NEW PROPHET IN ARABIA. —A great sensation has
been created at the palace (Alexandria) by receipt of intelli-
gence from Beni Ow, the Scheriff of Mecca. He informs
Mehemet Ali that a nameless person, who proclaimed him-
self to be the Imaum (or priest) of the Mehdi promised by
Mahomet, has appeared in Yemen, and had drawn a crowd
of disciples after him, which when he first appeared amounted
to about 1,500. He announced no new doctrine, but preached
the Koran in its purity, and enforced its precepts with strict-
ness wherever he went ; and distributed justice according to
the holy law with great impartiality. He declared himself
but the pecursor of the Mehdi, who was already come on
earth, and was now at Mecca; whence he would set forth
and appear before all true believers in the fulness of time.
Meantiwe, this Imaum was " working miracles" in his
name. He affords his disciples a view of the holy cities by
bidding them look up each of his sleeves, in full faith that
they will see here Mecca and there Medina. He had fed an
immense multitude with a single loaf of bread, &c. His fol-
lowers now amount to 35,000. He coined silver money of
the value of half half a piaster (40 to the dollar), bearing the
inscription, " Imaum[ el Berrein vel Bahrein ? Imaum el
Muntazar Mohammed ?Mehdi ; which they translate,
" Imaum of the two lands (continents) and the two seas
(Black and Red), the Imaum who awaits Mohammdd
Mehdi." The Scheriff has sent one of these pieces to the
Pasha, struck in the ordinary rude style of coinage prevails
in his own mint.—Letterfrom Alezandria.

Jamaica Fustic at £.5 to £6 3; 70 tons solid Nicaragua Wood at

less.demand for Turpentine, but holders having subnntted to ac-
cept 12s, 2000 brls. have been bought at that price. American Tar
is rather lower, 50a brls. having been sold at 14s. There has been
rather more inquiry for old Montreal Pot Ashes, and sales have
been made at some little reduction in price, but for 'new Ashes
holders are firm at previous prices. Pearl Ashes are dull at the
quotations. Hides.,-About 2000 dry salted Buenos Ayres Ox and
Cow were sold at the close of last month at 33d, and the sales since
are 2400 dry at 6}cl to Bid, according to quality, 600 salted at 41d,
140 dry Valparaiso at sid, 200 dry salted Lima at 6i-d, 220 Mobile
at 4id to bad, 200 dry Savanilla at 4id to Sid per lb; 370 dry
Buenos Ayres Horse at 8s ad, and 184 salted at 9s 2d each.
Tobacco.—The market is in a very inactive state, and the sales
not worth enumerating; the prices we make no alteration.
The demand for Brimstone continues to be nearly suspended.
No sales are reported in any description of Sumac. Of Argols,
small parcels of Oporto brought 30s, some good Bologna 475, and
Naples full prices. Cream of Tartar and discoloured Tartar are in
moderate request. 20 casks of Lisbon, discoloured, brought readily
at auction 70s per .cwt. Nothing done in Annato or Persian
Berries. Some Turkey and French Roots and French Madders
were offered by auction yesterday, but no sales effected. Quercitron
Bark is dull. of sale. For Olive Oil the demand is conned to the
supply of small orders, at the extreme quotations. A few smal
sales of Cod and Seal Oils arc reported at £2 5 los for the former,
and £33 for pale Seal ; but the demand remains very limited.
Seed Oils are steady, although pale Rape is rather more freely
offered. Oil of Turpentine may be bought, in quantity, at lower
rates. Palm Oil.—The demand has been good throughout the
week, and the sales amount to upwards of 600 tons (!50 tons of
which were taken for export) at £33 lOs to £34, but chitty at
£33 lOs to £33 13s; higher prices are now demanded, and some
inquiry for export still continues. Baltic Hemp remains neglected,
and the quotations nominal ; 230 bales of Manilla Hemp have been
sold at £26, and a small lot of fine quality at £29 per ton. For
Tallow the demand has much improved, and sales to some extent
have been made in Petersburg and Odessa Yellow Candle, at 47s to
475 6d per cwt. On Saturday last about 200 casks South American
Tallow, of good quality, were offered by auction ; but buyers ap-
pearing not inclined to give any advance, the parcel was withdrawn,
and subsequently sold at 42s all round, being an advance of about
Is 6d upon the previous rates. The nearest price to-day, for
Petersburg yellow Candle is 48s per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 8.
The trade continue to buy very sparingly, and the market has
been flat throughout the week ; in prices, however, little change
has occurred; the common and middling qualities of American, of
which the recent imports has mainly consisted, have declined id
per lb, but the better kinds, being less freely offered. and having a
fair inquiry for these descriptions for export, are without alteration.
Brazil and East India are heavy of sale at previous rates. 1600
American have been taken for export.
