COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT.

The demand for Cotton this week was gradually improving up
to the close of Wednesday, when prices of the lower, qualities of
American, up to fair, had almost advanced id. per ib. upon what
could have been obtained on Friday. The steamer's accounts
(to the 29th ult.) received that right, had the tendency to check
the then improving aspect of the market, and it opened yester-
day with comparative flatness, the demand subsiding, and the
prices becoming unsteady; what they had advanced was again
lost, and to-day those who are desirous to sell would be scarcely
able to obtain the rates current, for the qualities above no ted,
this day week. Speculators have taken 7,500 bales of American,
and exporters 450 American and 50 Surat ; the trade, 18,800
bales of all kinds. The sales to-day are about 3,000 hales.

TO THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL,
THE NOBILITY,

CLERGY, GENTRY, AND FAMILIES

THROUGHOUT THE
NORTH OF ENGLAND AND WALES.

WE have now been in operation Two Years, and the
result already achieved in so short a period proves,
more than anything else can do, the truth of our state-
ments. The enlarged and increasing patronage we have
received at both our Establishments enable us very ma•
terially to add to the advantages previously offered. Our
system, we repeat, is, first, to sell a good article, and,
secondly, to sell it cheap, FOR READY MONEY.
Mere cheapness alone, unless accompanied with quality,
is only deception, and our success mainly depended upon
keeping this point in view.
Within the last few weeks a limited portion of the new
Season's Teas have arrived both here and in London,
from which we have made selections, and, judging from
the present arrivals, the quality surpasses the average of
former years. Our advices from China intimate large
shipments of superior and useful qualities to arrive in the
English markets, which will become available within a
short period ; consequently, we are justified in anticipating
the means of supplying our supporters with quality quite
equal, if not superior, to any we have done since our
commencement.
Our present Prices range thus for sound qualities :

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

" An Enemy to Humbug" is unreasonable in requesting* us to
ask the questions contained in his letter ca an-Dnymous an-
ti- olty.

The letter of " Veritas" was received too late for publication
to-nay, ehiefls because it was written en both sides of the
paper.

We are compelled to omit a notice of a pamphlet by William
Forsyth, Esq., which we had in type, and several other
articles. They shall ap ear in our next.
We have received another letter from Ebenezer Jones, Esq., in
reply to Mr. Zephaniah Smith, which we reluctantly postpone
until our next publication, when we doubt not we shall have
space to insert it, as we purpose giving a Supplement on that
day.

The Albion yesterday founds some witty remarks on a speech of
Mr. Nolan. at the Protestant Operative Association, on Mon-
day last, as given in our publication of the following day.
Our contemporary censures Mr. Nolan for lauding Mr.
M'Neile in his presence, whereas the latter !gentleman had
retired prior to the commencement of Mr. Nolan's address,
and the point of the Albion's other remarks is altogether
occasioned by the necessarily abbreviated report of the
speech in our columns. Had the reverend gentleman's re.
marks been given entire, our contemporary's witticisms
would never have appeared.

OXFORD, MARCH 14.—This day the following degrees
were conferred :—Masters of Arts: the Rev. William
Panson, University ; the Rev. George Appleby- carman,
Magdalen Hall ; the Rev. Henry Wickens, Exeter ; the
Rev. George Francis Turner. Trinity ; the Rev. Samuel

CORN LAWS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.—
The subject of last Tuesday evening's discussion in the
Union Debating Society was—" That a repeal of the
Corn Laws would be highly beneficial to society." After
an animated discussion, the motion was negatived by a
majority of 69 ; there being for it 9 ; against it, 78.
DENUNCIATION OF PROTESTANTISM.—A declaration
has recently been signed by six hundred of the clergy of
the church setting forth in the very words of the articles
and homilies the truths they would maintain. Of this
declaration the Church Remembrancer for March, the
Tractarian organ, thus speaks :—" Protestantism in the
Clergy criminal and treasonable. Can those who have
signed it (the Protestant declaration), with any honour,
decency, and consistency, remain where they are ? And
yet more. Can our bishops pass ever, without censure,
an irregular and uncanonical declaration, which is not
exceeded in treason by the solemn league and covenant,
the millenery petition, or the conspriacy of Archdeacon
Blackburne? If anything could make us despair of the
Church of our baptism, it would be that the signers of
this declaration should remain unrebuked by the bishops ;
and it is with unfeigned sorrow that we learn from the
prospectus of a society formed to encourage and dis-
seminate the principles embodied in this criminal docu-
ment, that six hundred of the clergy alone have signed it."
There, we defy the world to match this piece of Trac ta-
rian impudence—it is matchless.

THE DURHAM WILL CAUSE.—This cause, the trial of
which we gave a succinct report in our last during the two
first days, terminated on Saturday week, when a ver-
dict was returned for the plaintiffs.
PARISH CLERKS.—At the Worcester Assizes last week
the case of the Queen v. the Rev. W. Smith was tried.
It involved the right of the defendant to remove his parish
clerk. The case has been often before the public. Harris,
the clerk, having been dismissed by Mr. Smith on the
ground of intemperance and general bad conduct, ob-
tained a rule nisi grounded upon 12 affidavits as to his so-
briety and good conduct ; the vicar answered these by al-
most 50 affidavits setting forth drunkenness, &c. The
rule was made absolute solely upon a technical ground. A
mandamus was ordered to issue. Before this could be
done, and the vicar be enabled to appeal against this de-
cision to the Exchequer Chamber by writ of error, it was
necessary in point of law that the merits of the case,
which formed the gist of the return to the mandamus,
should be disposed of by a trial. The result of this trial
is in favour of the Rev. W . Smith.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 13.

BIRMINGFIANI CORN MARKET, MAncn 13.

During the present week we have had little passing in the
Wheat trade, but the sales made were at former prices. Malting
Barley a slow sale; all except fine qualities rather lower. Oats
and Beans maintain their value.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, AlAncn 15.
The holders of Wheat have been very firm in demanding la3t
week's prices, but the buyers were unwilling to increase their
stocks upon those terms, therefore not much business was done.
Barley met a slow sale, without any material alter.tion in va-
lue. Oats and Shelling were dull. yet each fully supported for-
mer prices. Beans much the same as last week.

- ------- ---
MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 16.
We have had a flat trade during the week, and the tendency
of prices has been downwards.
The same may be said of the other markets of this district.
At this day's market the business done is of the most limited
nature. Wheat of all qualities is Id to 2d per bushel cheaper,
and Flour meets a very slow sale at a reduction of is per sack.
Oats Id per bushel lower; and though Meal is offered at a re-
duction of is per load, there is no consumptive demand ade-
quate to the weekly import. Malt and Beans both partake of
the general depression, and we reduce our quotations Is per
load and quarter respectively,

LONDON CORN MARKET, MARCH 11..
The arrivals of English Wheat are small, and the supply has
been readily cleared off by our millers, at fully the rates of this
day week, and we have had a fair retail demand for duty.paid
foreign wheat at late prices. There is more inquiry for ship
flour, of which our stocks arc small. and tht prices of this day
week are rather exceeded. The trade is very dull for barley,
and the prices for this day week are with difficulty maintained.
Beans meet a dull sale, and Pease seal pretty readily at last
week's currency. We are liberally supplied viith Oats, and the
trade is dull for this article, at a decline of 6d per quarter from
the prices of this day se'onight.

THE SCOTCH CHURCH.

On Monday night a meeting of the friends of the Scotch
Free Church was held in Exeter Hall, to receive a depu-

numerous and respectable ever held in the hall. The
number present must have been near 6000, and many
hundreds went away who could not obtain admission.
About 700 gentlemen, among whom were eighty or ninety
ministers of various denominations, were on the platform.
A number of speeches, explanatory of the principles,
present petitions, and prospects of the Free Church, were
delivered, and received with loud bursts of applause.
Among the speakers was the Honourable and Reverend
Baptist Noel.—Globe.

CIRCULATION OF THE STANDARD.

The issuing of the Government Newspaper Stamp
Returns for the six months ending December 1843,
affords us an opportunity of saying a few words
with respect to our own position. We commenced
our present plan of weekly publication at the com-
mencement of July last, up to which period our
circulation had averaged little more than 1,000
per publication. In the first three months after
such change, our circulation, according to these
returns, rose to 1,500 per week. In the next three
months, ending December 1843, we had reached,
as the same returns testify, 2,000 per week, which
makes up the number set down to us for the six
months in the return. Our circulation for the first
three months of 1844 will show a considerable fur-
ther increase.

As it is, according to this return, we stand in circu-
lation above our Tuesday's contemporary, the Li-
verpool Times, upwards of a thousand copies each
publication ; and above Gore's Advertiser 350,
above the Mercantile Gazette 650, above the
Journal 500, and the Chronicle 700 copies, each
publication.
'This result, which is a change of our position from
the occupation of nearly the lowest place amongst
our contemporaries, is one highly flattering to us,
and for which we feel most grateful to our friends
and the public, and will encourage us in our exer-
tions for the attainment of a still greater measure
of their approval.
