LIVERPOOL. COTTON MARKET, THIS DAY.

Rather more inquiry for Cotton to-day, particularly for
.3eseriptions ranging from ay. to 41d. The sales will
probably reach 2500 bales-, all to the trade.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. Tins DAY.

The arrivals from. Ireland up to Friday, with en in-
creased numbe-r since, furnish for this day's market a
fair quantity of Wheat, a moderate receipt of Fihuro and
a good supply of Oats and Oatmeal ; but from-any other
source the imports are still very inconsiderable: From
the neighbouring farmers, however, we have to report a
further liberal show. of new Wheats to-day ; and although
the,weather bas-been highly favourable for autumn cul-
ture, the mar!tets more immediately eompeting_with ours
have continued to be supplied with this Grain in sufficient
quantities tokeep up the trade to a tolerably even course,
Upon a moderate attendance of buyers the &maw! for
Foreign :,-IWhests was moderate, without any material
change in price, except for fine red Baltic, wniclrbrought
a small advance..

Irish Wheat on :the contrary was difficult to sell, at
rather lower prices. _ _

English '•heat in rather slow demand but steady, in:
value.

Sack Flour-was dull of sale at late prices. In Canadian
and States sales have been made daily of late, to a.fair-
extent, at the full prices of this day week.
Malting Barley Is. dearer ; grinding unvaried 4 Oats,.
notwithstanding an increased supply at hand, is fair re-
quest, and the turn dearer. Beans and Pease tended,ra.
ther upwards. Oatmeal 3d. to 6d. dearer, and in goo&
demand..

THE WAVER.—The project for limirtng the sacra
day f rest on the River Weaver navigation to twelve
hour is for the present averted; and the proposal now
comes in avery modified form, inasmuch as application
is only made to the trustees for permission t() rqn the
boats till two o'clock on Sunday morning. There is no
fear, however, that the by-laws will be altered.

THE CHURCH OF ROME.—There are now throughout
the world 147 Catholic archbishops, 584 bishops, 71 vicars
apostolical, nine prefects, three apostclicals, and 3,267
missionaries. The number of faithful may amount to
200,000,000,000. In the course of the present century
(from 1800 to 1842) forty nest episcopal sees bad been
created.— Times.

BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES FOR THE LABOURING
CLASSES.—A public meeting in favour of these establish-
ments was held on Wednesday last, in the Mansion-
house, London. The Lord Mayor presided, and amongst
those present were the Bishop of London, Archdeacon
Wilberforce, Archdeacon Hale, Sir G. Larpent, Sir I. F.
0..44 'I, 1370, M.P.. as.. 0.1,-
hours, M.P., Mr. Solomons, &c. The resolutions were
passed unaaimously.

VOIDING AN ALDERMAN'S ELECTION.—The election
of Mr. Salomons. a Jew, a alderman for the ward of
of Portsoken, in the city of London has been declared
void, by a court of aldermen held on Tuesday last, in
consequence of that gentleman's refusal to make the de-
claration, which he is required to make " on the true faith
of a christian," previously to his taking upon himself the
duties of the office to which he had been appointed. Mr.
Moon and Mr. Bousfield are candidates for the vacant
alderman ship.
COLLISION AT SEA. —During Thursday night week, a
collision, though not attended with loss of lite, took
place off Whitby, at about eleven o'clock,. The brig
Normandy, Mr. Smales, master, while on her passage
from London to Stockton, was run into by a vessel un-
known. Both met with considerable force, and the Nor-
mandy sunk soon afterwards in deep water, the crew
saving themselves by taking to the long-boat. l'he other
vessel having bore away, her name could not be ascer-
tained, nor what injury she had sustained.
CAUTION.—The Chester Courant very properly cau-
tions the inhabitants of the Principality against an edition
of the New Testament in the Welsh language, lately pub-
lished by Mr. W. Bayley, of Wrexham. It contains
foot-notes to each page, one of which on Romans xiii. L
2., being literally translated, runs thus—" Circumstances
are very often met with, which make lawful a rebellion
against the authorities of the country." Mr. Bayley is
of the sect called Anabaptists ; a promoter of the " Bri-
tish School" at Wrexham, and other kindred institutions
for disseminating the principles of liberalism and dissent.

BIRMINGHAM BOROUGH REGISTRATION.—GREAT
DEFEAT OF LEAGUERS AND CHARTISTS.—The revising
barrister, Mr. J. D. Burnaby, terminated his labours on
Saturday. The result of the revision is, that of the 1,439
claims made by the leaguers and chartists, there have
been admitted in the parish of Birmingham 13 only; in
the palish of Aston there were 291 claims made by leaguers
and chartists, and 35 allowed ; total 49, leaving 1,681
claims disallowed! The leaguers and chartists made ex-
traordinary efforts to support their " claims."—Birnsing.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—On the 16th i natant, an
inquest was held at Alpraham on view of the body of
Elizabeth Astbury, a married woman, aged 39, who was
killed by the early train from Crewe, on the previous
Tuesday. She was a native of Stoke, and had been to
visit her friends at Manchester, which she left, in de-
pressed spirits on the previous day. She was fonnd dead,
and the body dreadfully mutilated, on the rails at Choi-
mondeston, by an engineer ot the Grand Junction Com-
pany. The jury retur,ed a verdict of " accidental death,"
and imposed a nominal deodand on the train.
DIIATK or A POACHER —On Sunday week a notorious
poacher, of the name of Joseph lienshall, aged 2.5, was
killed be the accidental discharge of his gun whilst poach-
ing at Northen Etchells, in Cheshire. The family of
deceased have suffered considerably in consequence of
offending against the game laws, a brother of deceased's
having been hanged at Chester about fifteen years ago for
an attack on one of Lord S'amford's game-lttepers at
Dunham Massey. It appeared from the evidence that
none of deceased's family were in the habit of attending
a place of worship.

APPALLING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, a man named
Hardford, being engaged in brewing for a gentleman in
Slone-street, London, and in the act of pouring some
boiling liquor from the copper into the mash-tub, the
stand on which the tub stood suddenly broke down, and the
tub, which contained between 80 and 90 gallons of boiling
liquor, was precipitated forward, knocking the unfortu-
nate man down, and the principal portion of the liquor
flowing over the lower part of the unfortunate man's
body, scalded him in so shocking a manner, that on re-
moving his doilies, large pieces of flesh rolled off. Assis-
tance was immediately rendered, and he was rem,)ccd in
a deplorab!e condition, and enduring excruciating suffer-
ings, to the hospital.
DEATH FROM DRINKING.—OR Thursday Mr.Wakley,
the London coroner, held an inquest on the body of a lady
who had been found dead in her house at Hammersmith,
where she lived by herself. Her husband, a sn.geon, said,
that soon after their marriage he had found her dreadfully
addicted to drinking, and they had in consequence sepa-
rated. A girl, who bad been her only attendant for some
time, said she was constantly drinking spirits, and would
send out for a quarters perhaps a dozen times a day !
The coroner observed, that the husband should have put
her under restraint, as the unfortunate woman was Lvi-
dently deranged. The verdict was, " Died from exces-
sive drinking of ardent spirits."
COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—Another colliery
but happily without loss of life, took place at C,
near Newcastle, yesterday week, where the urn
workings are extensive. Two shifters had go,
part of the mine called the " goal." with a nakf
to see if the place was safe for the hewers; the
by the candle, and the shock of the explosioi
throughout the mine. Several of the men m,
escape. One of them was much burnt, but not
and reached the shaft in safety. others were
being thrown down, and one bad his thigh boa
Two of the men were in the mine two hours be
