A commission of lunacy was opened at Southwark, on
Thursday last, to enquire into the state of mind of Mr.
Thomas Alarchant. The unfortunate man, according to the
evidence of the physician, imagined that he was inspired by
the Deity, that he felt so happy, for he knew more than any
other person, and had a secret which would make any per-
son's fortune, which he would sell for £30,000. He imagined
he was Nebuchadnezzar, and had become a beast, a pig. and
other animals ; that Sir Walter Scott was his precursor, as
St. John was to our Saviour; and if he were to throw him-
self out of a window and were killed, it would be no conse-
quence, as he should rise the next day, for he was immortal,
and had already died six or seven times ; the Almighty had
spoken to him, and supernatural voices had commanded him
to cut his throat ; he was Daniel 111, and had the world in
his hands ; had vast wealth, and was to be the only pawn-
broker in London; and intended putting some pieces of
wood together to float to Waterloo-bridge, and there form a
flotilla, on which he would place three millions of men, and
vas to be towed down the river by a goose and a duck,
ould go and beat the Chinese, and conquer

..,to the names, and prove to the world that he could
come out unscorchcd. It further appeared that he had twice
tried to destroy himself. The last time was the 25th of
inuary, when he endeavoured to drown himself by keeping
!,;s head under water in the warm bath till the attendant
hauled him up; he then said God had commanded him to do
it, and that he mould go to heaven if he did.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 11

The attendance of buyers in our market to-day has not been very
numerous ; a moderate business has been transacted to the extent
of aeon bales, without any apparent change in the tone or feeling
of the market; notwithstanding with the present plentiful supply,
the buyers daily consider that they make their purchases cheaper.

COTTON MARKED, FEBli UA KY 13

Our market opened this morning, with little or no demand for
Cotton, which increased, however, as the day advanced, and we
have to report upon 4000 hales, at the same prices obtained last
week. Exporters have taken 300 bales to.day, and the sales are
almost entirely confined to American descriptions from sid to sid.

COTTON M A RKET.-W EEKLY REPORT

In the early part of the week the market became more steady
than for some time previous, and a considerable business was done,
both by the trade and speculators. Since Wednesday, however,
it has relapsed into its former state of depression, and as the desire
to effect sales which was noticed last week still continues, the
quotations generally of Friday were barely maintained, and the
common and middling descriptions of American are id per lb
lower. Speculators have taken gsuo American, exporters, 700
American.

COTTON MARKET—Tnis Day.

The demand for Cotton to-day has somewhat abated,
nevertheless the tone of the market is decidedly firm and
unflinching. The rain has given speculators their quietus
for the day, and the trade (with some trifling amount for
export) are the chief purchasers at yesterday's prices.
In some instances parcels have been sold at prices which
were refused at the end of last week.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY.

(From Messrs. R. Makin Sr Sons' Circular.)

The arrivals of Wheat here since this day week consist
of a few further parcels from Ireland, with a fair quantity
coastwise, chiefly from London, and 2767 qrs. from abroad.
Of other Grain and Flour the supplies are moderate, but
of Oatmeal we have to note a large increase for the season
The uniformly splendid harvest weather we have ex-
perienced since our last report, was interrupted by much
rain yesterday evening, which continued daring the night,
and the whole of this morning without intermission, and
has been very general throughout the district around us.
Influenced in some degree by the rain on the one hand,
and, on the other, counteracted by the decline in London
yesterday, our market this morning exhibited an irregular
and uncertain aspect; the transactions in Wheat, therefore,
continued to be effected with difficulty upon a very
moderate scale, at an abatement, for most descriptions of
English, Irish, and free Foreign, of about 2d. per 70 lbs.
from the currency of this day se'nnight. Flour, notwith-
standing, remained in tolerable request, English and Irish
manufacture on the terms last noted, and Foreign at a
decline of 6d. per barrel.
Barley was rather cheaper ; and Malt, Beans, and
Pease, might have been purchased on somewhat easier
terms.

Oats, still meeting a very limited inquiry, receded ld
per 451 b ; Oatmeal, likewise, was very unsaleable, at the
reduced rates of Friday, and a further small lot made from
t his year's produce was disposed of at 27s to 29s per 2401 b

JOHN LEE and CO. beg to direct attention to the
exclusive advantages of this most useful Invention.
The animal oil in Feathers, which putrifies and causes
them to smell, is completely destroyed, and a saving of
from 15 to 20 per cent. is effected in new Feathers; from
their increased strength and elabticity. The increase is
about one bed in five of good Feathers, and in all cases
the expensive addition of new Feathers, as is always re-
quired in other plans of dressing, is rendered unnecessary.
After disease or death, Beds are restored to perfect purity.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY.

Lord MONTEAGLE moved the adoption of a series of I
resolutions expressing the concern and
the house that th, ---- •
- of
~...rectettons held out of a surplus re-
venue of half i 1 million had been ink by iiti actual defici-
tniy of £2.421,000, notwithstanding the amount received
from the Chinese Government, the income tai, and the
duty on grain, that the Exchequer balances had been re-
duced, and inculcating the strictest economy in the public
service, and the adoption of every measure which might
promi-e an extension of revenue, so as to render the re-
enactment of the income-tax unnecessary.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, although fully admitting
the disappointment of his own and his colleagues expecta-
tions in the amount of revenue, could not consent to tar
a desponding view of the national finances, and went
through the various articles included in the Customs and
Excise to explain the deficiency and final grounds for
hope of returning to prosperity. He defended the efmrse
pursued. by government in the manasrement of the funded
and unfunded debt, and although regretting that the ne-
cessities of past years had induced the practice of applying
all that could be rendered available, the balance in the
Exchequer was considerably greater than during last year.
He concluded by moving a negative to the resolu-
tions. _

Lord BROUGHAM also at great length. and in a tone of
severe sarcasm, opposed the adoption of the resolutions.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE followed; and in a few
words from Lord Monteagle in reply, the motion was lost
without a division.

This fine vessel, after having been put into the most per-
ft-et order, at a great expense, has performed a voyage to
and (tom New Orleans, and realized the most sanguine
expectations which had been formed of the properties of
iron as applicable to the construction of sea-going ships,
returning with her bottom perfectly free from corrosion,
and clear of barnacles, having proved herself a remarkably
fast sailer, and in most tempestuous weather an admirable
sea boat. She carries a larger cargo, and upon a light draft
of water greatly less, than any wooden-built ship of her
tonnage afloat, and from her great strength would admit
of the application of auxiliary steam power, if thought
desirable by a purchaser, at a very small outlay, and within
a space, including twenty days' supply of coals, of not
over twenty feet in length in the lower hold.—For parti-

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY.

The Earl of Charleville presented a petition from the
gentry and others of the county of Wexford against the
repeal of the legislative anion.
Lot d Wharncliffe in answer to a question put by Lord
Charleville, said that he had received that morning cer-
tain papers relative to the discharge of Lord Lucan from
the commission of the peace in Ireland. The papers'
would be produced on Thursday.
The Grand Juries' Presentment (Ireland) Bill passed
through committee.
On the third reading of the Dramatic Entertainments
Bill being put,
Lord Campbell moved the introduction of the words
`' and be it enacted that for the preservation of good man-
ners, decorum, and public peace, it shall be lawful for the
Lord Chamberlain to do these acts."
Lord Wharncliffe said the Lord Chamberlain was res-
ponsible for his acts ; he therefore could not agree to the
introduction of the words, as they would have the effect
of confining the powers of the Lord Chamberlain.
Lord Brougham defended the introduction of the words,
as did the Marquis of Clanricarde.
After a desultory conversation,
The amendment, with a verbal alteration by the Lord
Chancellor, was agreed to.
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
balsa Arms BILL.—The Duke of Wellington moved
the second reading of this bill, which after a discussion
of inordinate length was agreed to without a division.
The Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was read a second time.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Hugh Ogden, 44, was indicted for having. at Newton,
feloniously stolen, from the person of John Batetnan, one
sovereign, one half-sovereign, 83. 6d., a ham, a hat, and
other articles.

It appeared, from the evidence, that, on the 29th June
last. the prosecutor was returning hone from Manchester,
and that lie called at a public-house on the road, where
he remained until between eleven and twelve o'clock at
night. Ile left at that time, accompanied by the priSoner.
and when he had gone about a mile he received a tremen-
dous blow from behind. which stretched him upon the
ground. The prisoner, who had been previously walking
with him, arm-in-arm, now placed his hand across his
mouth, while two stout fellows, who suddenly made their
appearance, robbed him of the motley and articles men-
tioned in the indictment. The prosecutor prayed hard
for mercy, said he was a pour man. and that he would
willingly give them a couple of shillings if they would
leave him his money, but it was all to no purpose. Upon
cross-examination, the prosecutor admitted that he was
•' fresh " in liquor on the occasion.
Mr. WILKINS, who defended the prisoner, ably ad-
dressed the jury in his behalf, and concluded by calling
witnesses to charac'er.

A verdict of acquittal was returned.

HORSE STEALING.
George Woodbridge. 38, was indicted for having, at
Ormskitk, stolen a mare, the property of James Bryars,
intike, per, of that place.
Mr. JAMES, who defended the prisoner, admitted the
continisSion of:jthe felony, but set np a plea of insanity,
and stated that, at the time of the occurrence, his client
was under medical treatment for some morbid delusion.
It appeared that he was a man of property, very respect-
ably connected, and that his unfortunate sive of mind
rendertd it necessary for him, of late, to be constantly
nodes the charge of a keeper. •
A verdict of acquittal was returned.
POST-OFFICE ROBEERY•
John Leming, 23, pleaded guilty to several bills of in-
dictment, charging him with having, while acting as
cleat in the Liverpool Post-office, embezzled letters con-
taining hills of exchange for upwards of £4,000, valuable
securities, gold sings set with pearls and diamonds, and a
link of beads.

Mr. WILKINS said he held a brief in this cage, and
begged of his Lirtiship to defer tile sentence for the pre-
bent, as he had several highly respectable parties to speak
in hib behalf.

His Lordship complied with the request,
