INCREASE OF THE COTTON TRADE OF
GREAT BRITAIN.

Mr. Charles Hindley, M.P. for Ashton-under-Lyne,
although a member of the league, has ever been acknow-
ledged as a sincere friend of the working classes; and
we have, therefore, pleasure in calling attention to some
statements made by him during the debate on the motion
for the introduction of a new factory bill. We are con-
tinually being told by the whig•radical party that any
legislative interference between the labourer and his em-
ployer would be injurious to commerce. Mr. Hindley,
however, has reminded us that whereas, in 1833, previous
to the factory bill of Lord Althorp (which, to some ex-
tent, protected the labourer), the annual exportation of
cotton was only 66,000,000 lbs. ; it is at present
158,000,000 lbs.,—being a difference of 130 per cent. in
favour of a lenient system of treatment for the working
classes! In 1833, the annual consumption of cotton in
this country was 169,000,000 lbs., or greater by 66 per
cent.! We recommend these facts to the league and their
bantling, the Anti-monopoly Association of Liverpool.
Again, we are told by these bodies that there has been,
up to this time, no material alleviation of the condition
of our manufacturing interest. What says Mr. Hindley,
however ? Why—that " NEW MALLS WERE ON THE
POINT OF BEING BUILT IN LANCASHIRE !" And yet,
in the face of this fact, with a deficient cotton crop, and
an assurance of an increase of trade sufficient to justify
the erection of more factories, we were told the other
day, by a fustian manufacturer,—a director of the
Bank of Manchester,—that the brokers of Liverpool,
in advancing the price of the raw material (cotton),
were " picking the pockets of the manufacturers ! "
Study the gentleman who uttered this piece of insolence
can never have read the letters of the Rev. Sydney
Smith; for, certainly, if an American—a member of the
repudiating state—ought, before entering honest society
in Great Britain, to offer his purse to one creditor of the
model republic, his coat to another, and his hat to a
third, a director of the Bank of Manchester ought to
make some restitution to the shareholders of that mis-
managed concern, before he ventures to twit others with
dishonesty !
We could say more on this subject; but our Man-
chester liberals, without having the decency of forbearing
to slander their neighbours, have become too fond of
directing the penalties of the law of libel against those
who offend their high-mightinesse,, to render it safe on
the part of a journalist to whisper an unwelcome truth
in their ears.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 8.

We have had a fair show of Beasts and Sheep to day. but as
the de lers and jobbers were ask ng more money in the early
part of the day, it caused a slack trade fill near noon, and even.
tually all was sold up at last week's currency.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, FEB 12.
A steady business has been done during the week i►► all
articles at gradua ly improving prices. and the stock of Flour
which had for some time pressed heavily on the market, is now
reduced to a comparatively mall compass, whilst the weekly
arrivals are not equal to the supply of the current demand.
At Liverpool and ViTaketield, yesterday, a good business was
done, at advancing pirces.
In the agricultural districts a general advance of full 2s per
quarter on Wheat has taken place, and the farmers are con-
tracting their deliveries.
Our Corn Exchange is well attended this morning. Though
the advance of 2d to 3d per bushel on Wheat, and Is to 2s per
sack on Flour, which is firmly demanded. ke,-ps buyers in check,
a fair business is doing in both, in which the above noted im-
provement is realized.
Oats and Oatmeal meet a moderate enquiry, at fully last
week's rates. . . _

Malt firm, at late quotations, with a good enquiry for fine
qualities.
Beans, both old and new, are scarce, and bring an advance
of Is per quarter.
In other articles no particular variation.

THE COURT.

Orders were issued for the Court's going into mourning
on Thursday last, for his late Royal Highness the Duke of
Saxe Coburg Gotha, father of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, and uncle and father-in-law of her Majesty.
The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert have
continued in the strictest privacy at Windsor Castle,
during the week, in consequence of the death of his
Royal Highness's father, the Duke of Saxe Coburg
Gotha.

Her Majesty the Queen was very near meeting with an
accident on Monday morning, when leaving the Castle to
take a private walk in the Home Park, which, in the pre-
sent extremely delicate and interesting situation of the S-
overeign, might have been attended with serious and pain-
ful consequences. We greatly rejoice, however, to be
enabled to state that these were providentially avoided.
The Queen, on proceeding from the Castle down the steep
declivity leading from the south terrace to the outer en-
trance to George the Fourth's gateway, between the York
and Lancaster Towers, would have fallen backwards, and
with considerable violence, in consequence of the slippery
state of the pathway, which was entirely frozen over, had
it not been for the presence of mind of the Countess of
Dunmore, who fortunately caught her Majesty in her
arms, and thus preserved the Queen from sustaining any
injury.

The Hon. Spencer Cooper has lately given his sisters,
Lady Ashley and Lady Jocelyn, £20,000 each.—Court
Journal.

The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland left Stafford
House on Thursday for the Earl of Carlisle's seat, Castle
Howard, Yorkshire, in consequence of the noble earl, het.
grace's father, having experienced a relapse, and being
alarmingly indisposed, which prevented the family from
coming to town. The Marquis of Stafford and Lord
Frederick Leveson Gower left town on Friday for Eastern-
terrace, Bi ighton, where a mansion has been taken by
their graces for alimited term, and the Ladies Elizabeth'
Constance and Caroline proceed to the same destination
. to-morrow. The christening of the infant son of the
duke and duchess, to whom Prince Albert is to stand
sponsor, is postponed sine die, in consequence of the
Duke of Saxe Coburg's death and Lord Carlisle's ill-
ness.—Globe.

LONDON CORN-EXCHANGE, FEB, 3.

There was only a limited quantity of Wheat and Barley from
Essex and Suffolk this morning, but a fair supply of both these
articles was up from Kent, and there was a good show of Beans
and Peas from the latter and first mentioned counties. Several
vessels with Oats have arrived since last market day, principally,
however, from Ireland. The importations of foreign Grain
have been trifling, but 4800 barrels of Flour have con.e in from
the United Stages. There has been many vicissitudes in the
weather since this day se'nnight; yesterday a heavy fall of
snow, thawing at the same time, but a return of frost this
morning. There was au improved demand for English Wheat,
and from the statement of ministers that no change in the laws
is contemplated, an advance of Is to 2s per qr. was established
on all fine samples, and about Is per qr. on the secondary
descriptions. From the same cause a similar addition was
asked for all free foreign Wheat, but the business transacted was
not extens.ve, more, however, from the firmness of sellers, than
from any want of buyers. Flour met a good demand; prime
ex-ship, realised about Is per sack more than last week. Good
malting Barley fully as dear, with a fair sale for such, and a
firm trade for all sorts. Fine Malt was held for rather more
money, and there was a moderate demand for the best qualities.
Beans met a steady sale, and were the turn dearer. Peas com-
mand Is per qr. above last Monday's currency. A tolerable
good business was transacted in Oats, and full prices were ob.
Mined for all descriptions Tares were quite as dear. Linseed
and Rapeseed br, ught former rates. There have been good
arrivals of red Clover-seed from France, and the trade is slow,
without alteration in value.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 6.
The Yorkshire, New York packet of the 17th ultimo,
was telegraphed off Point Lynas this forenoon, and spe-
culators seemed to be all alive again, operating in antici-
pation of favourable, or as some would say, unfavourable
accounts. This has caused a large business to be done,
and the sales may be guessed at 5 or 6000 bales, at yes-
terday's prices, with a firm market.

iIIS company has been formed for the purpose of
bringing into general use a highly improved steam-
carriage, which the directors can state with the greatest
confidence is in every re, pect applicable to the convey-
ance of passengers and goods on turnpike roads.
An experimental carriage has already run several thou-
sand miles on the common turnpike roads, under the
inspection of eminent engineers, as,,q!nding and descend-
ing the steepest hills, and passing Over newly-laid gravel
and bad roads, with facility and safety, at an average speed
of upwards of fifteen miles per hour. It is entirely free
from smoke, noise, or escape of steam ; and does not in
the slightest degree interfere with the ordinary traffic, by
frightening horses or otherwise.
The great improvements in the construction and ar-
rangements of the machinery have so reduced the bur;
and weight of the carriage, and diminished the wear and
tear, as to insure the success of the undertaking in a
commercial point of view.
The prominent advantages which this system of con-
veyance possesses over any other, consist in safety,
economy, convenience, and expedition; and its general
adoption will have the effect of preserving the property
connected with turnpike trusts, as well as that of carriers
and innkeepers.
The introduction of wood pavement has opened another

the affairs of the company, and to limit the liabilities of
the shareholders to the amount of their shares.

eminent engineers in London ;'and arrangements are in

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev.
Jeffrey Davis, curate of Cadoxton in Wales, met his death
on the 25th ult., by falling into a pit, newly made for the
purpose of inserting a post. The hole. in which the body
was found, was only two feet and a half diameter at the
surface, two feet at the bottom, and six feet in depth.
The body, when discovered, was in a sitting posture, but
from the narrowness of the hole, nearly doubled up; the
feet were elevated above the level of the head, which was
pressed down on the chest. From the sandy nature of the
soil, the heels could get no purchase, although his efforts
to extricate himself appeared to have been most violent,
from the quantity of loose sand which he had displaced
from the sides of the bole and deposited in his lap, and
which partially filled his mouth and eyes. The deceased
has left a widow and six children to lament their sad and
sudden bereavement.

POETRY.

LOVE'S SNARE.

--I

(For the Liverpool Standard.)

As o'er the lawn one lovely morn I strayed,
I'Vithin a snare I caught two linne's grey;
The captir' songsters oft in vain essayed
To burst their treach'rous bonds, and fly away,

" Poor birds ! why throb your plumy breasts with fear ?
Or why against the wires your pinions beat ?
At home a guardian will ye fondly rear,
And all your little wants with kindness treat."

Beside a grove of elms, where lay concealed
My rustic cot beneath the sylvan shade,
A heav'nly form before me stood revealed,
And Jane her charms unconsciou ly displayed,

Persuasion's mildest tones were all in vain,
To soothe the fair to lend a gracious ear ;
Sbe turned aside, and tripped across the plain,
Nor even deigned my luckless suit to hear.

repulsed with scorn, and smarting with the pain,
Which cruel love had darted through my breast ;
I thus, iu sympathy's soft melting strain,
With accents sad the feathered pair addressed .•

" Ye spotted warblers I now exult with glee,
Nor dream ye ever wantoned through the air ;
For .ny poor heart, which 1 had thought so free,
worse than you entrapped in Cupid's snare !"

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 6.
The Yorkshire, New York packet of the 17th ultimo,
was telegraphed off Point Lynes this forenoon, and spe-
culators seemed to be all alive again, operating in antici.
ration of favourable, or as some would say, unfavourable
accounts. This has caused a large business to be done,
and the sales may be guessed at 5 or 6000 bales, at yes-
terday's prices, with a firm market.

Tail's Magazine.

Wm. Taft, Edinburgh ; Simpkin,

Marshall, and CO., London.

Our northern friend has furnished us with a very inte-
resting number. The review of Tytler's History of Scot-
land, of which we have this month the first part, pro-
mises, in itself, to be as good an abridgement of the work
as if it had been intended for separate publication. We
have frequently remarked upon the care with which the
reviews in this magazine are done but we really question
whether it is quite fair to an author to gut a book so
completely, and give its whole spirit and story, as in this
number the editor of Tait has done with the new novel
of " The Belle of the Season." Few people, after read-
ing this review, would feel any great interest to read the
book itself.

CHINA.

The intelligence from China comes down to the Ist of
December, on which day her Majesty's steamer Spiteful
started for Bombay, where she arrived on the 25th of
that month. Little had occurred worthy of notice subse-
quent to the fires which consumed the factories on the
25th of October, by which the Danish, Spanish, and a
part of the French factories were destroyed. The British
Consulate was also consumed. The markets at Canton
had become rather more favourable. A proclamation had
been issued by the Imperial Commissioner declaring that
the warehouses belonging to the new merchants (outside
men) are to stand on an equal footing with the old (Hong)
merchants, and that henceforth there shall be no differ-
ence between the two warehouses. The supplementary
treaty, of which a copy had been sent to Pekin, was for-
warded also to Bombay, and was to come by the mail to
England. The British Consuls had arrived at Amoy and
Shanghae, where trade was dull, as the arrangements were
not then completed. The Chinese authorities at Ningpo
declined granting permission for the importation of goods
there until the Consul had arrived and the duties were
settled. They are said to have been alarmed by an impe-
rial chop, which they had received from Pekin, ordering
that no business should be carried on unless the Consul
was there. At Chusan the British system of governing
without squeezing the inhabitants had conciliated their
attachment, and they appeared to regret the approaching
departure of the British troops. Some Americans, as if
courting a cause of quarrel with the Chinese, had ven-
tured upon excursions into the interiJr : the practice had
procured from the British Plenipotentiary a declaration to
the Chinese Commissioner that he should by no means
eJuntenance such proceedings, and that crders should be

The contested election to the Mastership of Pembroke

NEW Brstior OF NEWFOUNDLAND.—We believe we
may announce, as a fact, that the Rev. E. Field, M.A.,
Rector of English Bicknor, Gloucestershire, has been ap.
pointed Bishop of Newfoundland, in the room of Dr.
Spencer, translated to the see of Jamaica. The Rev.
gentleman was formeriy a Mitchel Fellow of Queen's col-
lege, Oxford, and for some time an Inspector of Schools
on behalf of the National Society.—Monmouth Beacon.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev.
Jeffrey Davis, curate of Cadoxton in Wales, met his death
on the 25th ult., by falling into a pit, newly made for the
purpose of inserting a post. The hole, in which the body
was found, was only two feet and a half diameter at the
surface, two feet at the bottom, and six feet in depth.
The body, when discovered, was in a sitting posture, but
from the narrowness of the hole, nearly doubled up; the
feet were elevated above the level of the head, which was
pressed down on the chest. From the sandy nature of the
soil, the heels could get no purchase, although his efforts
to extricate himself appeared to have been most violent,
from the quantity of loose sand which he had displaced
from the sides of the hole and deposited in his lap, and
which partially filled his mouth and eyes. The deceased
has left a widow and six children to lament their sad and
sudden bereavement.
