LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 18

There is only a very moderate enquiry for Cotton to-day ;
the sales may be estimated at 1,500 to 2,000 bales at steady
going market prices.

COTTON MARKET, APRIL 20

The demand for Cotton is agai❑ very much on the increase; yes.
terday 5000 bales were sold, and to day 7000 bales, nearly all to the
trade ; prices are without change. The market is well supplied.
Buyers have excellent choice, but cannot get on at easier rates than
at those current last week.

We had a very prime show of Beasts and Sheep to-day—more
indeed than found buyers. The market was dull, and prices further

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,

April 20. 1843

We have had an extensive demand for Potatoes during the past
seven days, which have met with a brisk demand, both from our
town retail trade, and country dealers, although at very low prices ;
the best descriptions of Cups scarcely realizing Is, while inferior
runs have been selling from 10d to 11d; Piukeyea 12d to lad; seed-
lings 14cl to Itid per 901 b.

There has been a heavy arrival of Turnips, the greater pert of
which have arrived in bad Condition—the best Sweeda have com-
manded 15s to 188 per ton.
_ _

Our local markets are well supplied with all descriptions of
agricultural produce, taking the advanced season of the year into
account; in fact no scarcity need be feared in any article of local
produce.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum.

(Hear, hear.) Whatever his politics might be, the amiable
life of the Duke of Sussex claimed honour and respect ; and
he (Mr. Hodgson) thought it was ill-judged and ill-timed to
attempt to separate the omission into a party question until
it had been ascertained whetber there was an intention, or
anything to afford them for believing there was such an in-
tention, of withholding the expression of condolence. (Hear,
hear.) This was a matter of family affliction, and not of any
political question whatever. (Hear.) And though he did
not say they should not have political questions agitated
there—probably there would be some that day—for they
could not help themselves, yet he did say that the occasion
to manifest it, to-day, had been unhappily chosen at the
commencement of the council. He (Mr. Hodgson) cordially
concurred in what had fallen from Mr. Turner with regard to
the address of condolence, which, he supposed, was the usual
course pursued when any of the royal family died.
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said he had not at all forgotten this
subject ; he was anxious to pay proper respect to her Ma-
jesty ; hut he had been in some degree guided by precedent,
for he remembered that when the Duke of Gloucester died,
no
-notice of the event was taken by the council.

Mr. BiuKarr supported the address, observing that for a
considerable period the late royal Duke had devoted a part
of his income to charitable purposes.

. .
The address was afterwards read and adopted.
At the request of the MAYOR it was then agreed that the
address of condolence should stand first on the proceedings,
and that of congratulation second.

" EXPRRIMENTAL TRIP OF THI.: AERIAL MACHIN'?

" An account has been forwarded to us from Scotland of
an experiment tried a few days ago, near Glasgow, with a
machine constructed on the same principle as that of Mr.
Henson. The experiment was made by a Professor Geolls,
a foreigner, and but for an accident, it appears that it would
have established the principle contended for, viz., the capa-
bility of navigating the air. Not wishing, however, to make
any misrepresentation upon the point, we give the particulars
rota a narrative drawn up by Professor Geolls himself. The
Professor, after stating that he constructed his machine in
exact accordance with Mr. Henson's specification, and that
he had paid great attention to all the circumstances connected
with the flight of birds, says he fixed upon the hill of
Dumbuck, near Glasgow, for the trial. He then proceeds
thus :—"
The Atlas here quotes the greater part of the account of
the voyage, not forgetting the exact description of the launch-
mg of the machine from Dumbuck Hill, on the Ist of April
when the car was entered, and the dagger struck 3 h. 38 m
J 9 secs." As our contemporary proceeds with the accoun
of the "foreign professor," the matter becomes irresistibl]
ludicrous. Nothing is omitted which could interfere will
the most perfect understanding of the whole details, such foi
example as the " depressing of the tail," " the stopping of
:he fanners," and " the shattering of the bamboo stretchers,"
while "bang went three of the steam-pipes at the same
nstant." Then came the critical moment, when the machine
feeling its equilibrium altered " by this untoward event,
'surged considerably, and the remaining pipes necessarily
'ollowing the example of the others; fizz,—bizz—whizz—
may they went one after the other, while she toppled over
nd over into the sea!"
The Atlas concludes as follows :
" It appears that the Commander of the steamer [Tartar
nd Nl`Commodore's Admiral] had sent a boat to the assist-
nce of the intripid experimenter, and saved him, but the
machine was lost."
Since the above was in type, we perceive that the Morning
Herald, taking the Atlas as the great authority for flying,
gravely copies, at full length, its account of the aerial voyage
of our correspondent, Professor Geolls. Such a parcel of
April fools we have never before heard of. The Littlemill
&avan may laugh at the gotuks.7 7Glasgow Paper.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 25.
A moderate demand for Cotton to-day. The sales are

COTTON MARKET, APRIL 27.

Tne Cotton market has relapsed into a dull and tame state, yet
the daily amount of business is considerable, averaging 4500 to
5000 bales a day, at prices on a par with last week, but the market
is too well supplied to give any improved tone at present.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 25

Since Tuesday last the arrivals into this port, coastwise
and from Ireland, are on the whole comparatively very mo-
derate, except Malt, of which the supply is rather liberal ;
whilst $OO qrs. of Oats comprise the only fresh import of
Grain from abroad.

A reaction in the course of last week in several of the lead-
ing markets of the interior, which, receiving their supplies
mainly direct from the growers, appear to interpose a barrier
against any extensive intercourse between them and the
places of importation ; this, combined with the decline in
London yesterday, imparted a further depressing effect upon
the trade here this morning : we have consequently to repeat
extreme difficulty in the disposal of any kind of Wheat beyond
a very limited amount, and even that to needy buyers alone,
at an abatement upon all qualities of 2d. per 701bs. from the
currency of this day se'nnight.

Flour was taken off sparingly ; and English and Irish, as
well as States and Canadian, were the turn cheaper.
The Malting season having closed, and Barley of all de-
scriptions nearly without enquiry, remained nominal in value ;
prime Malt, on the contrary, was saleable at former prices.
Beans and Pease continued to be neglected, aud, barely
sustained our last quotations.

The Oat trade was languid, but fine qualities of this grain
being scarce, the terms of last week were supported.
For Oatmeal the holders appeared unwilling to accept
lower prices, but were eventually obliged to submit to a de-
cline of from 3d. to 6d. per load, at which sales to a mode-
rate extent were effected.

EXCEEDINGLY GOOD,

It will be remembered that the London Atlas newspaper
has all along been the authority from whom the other jour-
nals throughout the nation derived their information regard-
ing "Benson's Patent Aerial Machine," about which so
much has been recently written, and that in a strain which
induced us to believe that some of the authors had very little
doubt of the practicability of whisking through the clouds at
double the rate of carrier pigeons. For ourselves, never
having the slightest hope of getting skyward "on Henson's
principle," we were doggedly sceptical on the subject all
along, and very readily gave a place, in our paper of the 15th
current, to the jeu d'esprit of our friend " MIRGE GEOLIS
of Mittlelill," iu ridicule of the aerial romance.
Our readers may judge of our surprise, and may laugh as
heartily as we did, if they can, when we discovered that the
Atlas of Saturday last treated the ascent from Dumbuck
Hill as a bona fide affair, giving all the details of the " Regius
Professor," with a solemnity of countenance inexpressibly
amusing. In introducing the account of the flight, our
metropolitan contemporary, with lamb-like simplicity, writes
as follows :

when it dared hazard a decisive battle for an extensive
object. That time, however, has gone by; and, as the
fallen roue, who once swaggered at Crockford's, and
betted his thousands at Newmarket or Epsom, is con-
tent to shine as the hero of a little-go—to " rook" ad-

venturous footmen at chicken-hazard, or to join a

party of seedy thimble-riggers in an attack upon a

It is an achievement for them, now, to strut at th

not despair of seeing them, some of these days, de-
voting themselves, with all their usual appliances of
placarding and journalising, to the mighty object of
carrying the election of a parish beadle or a corpora-

tion bill-sticker !

Seriously, we ask, can the contemptible position of
