REVIEW OF THE COTTON MARKET.

The repeated and continued attacks of some of the
London papers have given a great and unnecessary pro-
minency to the operations in our Cotton Market. This
has been another excited week; and the circumstance of
two sailing packets being over-due from New York gave
speculators a stimulus to operate upon.
On Tuesday 3,000 bales were sold; on Wednesday
4,000 bales, without change in prices; on Thursday
there was some excitement, and holders got rather
higher prices, and 8,000 bales were sold ; on Friday the
sales reached 7,000 bales, at still hardening prices; ott
Saturday buying commenced briskly, and though a halt.-
holiday, 10 to 12,000 bales were sold at full prices ; on
Sunday a packet arrived, with confirmatory accounts of
damage to the crops ; and early on Monday the packet
of the 7th inst. arrived, and brought very exciting ac-
counts from New York, where the market had been
rambling, and heavy business done at advanced rates.
This induced speculators to go on again, and 14 to
15,000 bales were sold at id. per lb. higher prices than
were obtainable on Friday ; speculators taking 8,000,
and thus leaving 6 to the trade ; and the market closed
much excited. The crop estimate is now almost con-
firmed at 1,700,000 bales.

Since the above was written, we have, by the arrival
of the Ashburton, a file of the New Vo Herald to
Monday the 9th instant, from which we learn that the
firm tone of the market had been increased,• the news
from kurope having given a fresh impetus to operations,
and 8 to /0,000 bags having changed hands on' the day
previous to the Ashburton's sailing, at a further advance
of an eighth of a cent, established after three o'clock of
the day, on the prices at which the market closed on
Saturday, the 6th instant. The news brought by the
Ohio and the Ashburton will be found in another column.

MARRlED.—lresterday, at St. Bride's Church, by the'
Rev. J. Joner, Mr. C. Watkinson, of Grove-house,.
Mobberley, near Knutsford, to Anne, eldest daughter of
the late Mr. W. M. Frodsham, of Liverpool.
HUBARD GALLI/min—This is the last week of this'
unique gallery of paper sculpture. The talent of the'
leading artist, who is himself in attendance, is already
too well known to' need commendation. Those who
value portraits should avail themselves of the present
advantageous opportunity.•
ST. LEGER Sweer.--Thie sweep, which is held at Mr.
Whiteman s, Brunswick, Hotel, is managed it a manner
that will ensure its speedy close. Those who desire a
racy affair cannot do better than visit Mr. W. tan Thurs-
day next, which is one of the nights for payment ; and
those who desire comfort Will find it in patronising this
retired and unique hotel.

FATAL ACC! DENT ON TEE LIVEVLOST.
—About five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a river boat,
containing four persons, in endeavouring to reach a barque
that had just arrived from Calcutta, came in contact with
her starboard quarter and capsized. Two of the hands
were saved, but the other two were unfortunately drowned.
A strong tide was running at the time; and the wind' was
blowing very fresh from the northward'aml westward.
Bears AND SHOES.—Nothing is- more dttrimentar to
health in retch weather as the present' than to neglect to
preserve dry feel ;—cork soles, and'a 'thousand other in-
ventions, have been brought befOre-the public; but the
primary object is to secure good shoes-or beet,. Messrs.
Sidney and Co., who have now been-established for a
number of years, advertise in another column; and, as
we bare worn of their manufactures; We can safely say
that in quality they cannot he surpassed, while the price
is considerably lower than at many shops in town-
LitrERVOOL PBTLHARMONIC Socro77:-,--itwilt be seen
by a glance at our advertising columns that thefirot un-
dress concert of the present season takes place on Mon-
day evening,'the 12th of February, and the first full' dress
concert-on the 18th March. When we state that amongst
the eminent talent engaged for the occasion is included
that of Miss-Rainforth' one of the best Engl4A- singem of
the day, Miss Dblby, Mr. Hobbs, and Henry Phillips;
we have said enough to sbew that the lovers of 'song have
a treat in store for them. Handel's oratorio of "Judas
Maccabens''' will be. performed on the occasion.
LIVERPOOVBANXIt7PTCY COURT.—It is 120 a clefitriL-
tively determined that the changes which have been ru-
moured in the Liierpoot and Manchester courts will be*
carried into effAct. The report, however, of Mri-Jertitnett
leaving Manchester ieunfounded. Some communications
have been going on between the Lord Chancellor and the
two learned gentlemen, wha are about to change places;
and we have to announce that in the ensuing. week-Mr.
Sergeant Ludlow-will take his seat at the Liverpool court,
and Mr. Commissioner Skirrow supplying the learned
sergeant's place in Manchester. Some hostility to this
arrangement has -been manifested by the learned pro-
fession in Manchester.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS?' BALL, LAST NIGHT.—The
annual ball of the victuallers of Liverpo-d took place last"
night, at the Town-hall, and was numerously and fashion-
ably attended. The Mayor., awing to his engagement to
take the chair at the Music-hall, was not present ; and,
the Earl of Sefton, who was also expected, was detained
hr the Mechanics' Meeting. The company began to ar-
rive between eight. and • nine &Clock, but the rooms were
most crowded about midnight, when not less than six!
hundred must have been present. Mr. Horrabin'.s band
was stationed in' the large room, Mr. Parker's Chelten-
ham band in the. small room and Mr. Parker's brass.
bancdtrsi.rnomthse vestibule. The dancing

great spirit at the hour when, we went to press.
of >c~sßrooc.—The
o
passed at the Liverpopl Customs-house was in the re—
spective years as follows r—irt 1843, 203,124; 1842;
x 88,155; 1841, 195,807-,• 1840,. 197,981; thus showing
that a great increase of business has taken place during.
thelast year. The numberof calculations for duty, involved
in so many entries, is of course very great, yet after the
usual rigid scrutiny has been completed in London, the
error detected are only £3 17s. 2d. in all, (being less than a
pound a year,) on a total amount of £16,774,050. This
accuracy reflects honour on The in-door department of the
customs at this part, while the total absence even of sus-
picion of frauds, such as have been perpetrated elsewhere,
is-creditable to the out-door officers as well as the-men-,
chants.

FATAL ACCTEMNT AT THE Docxs.—Yesterday, am
Inquest was held before Mr. Curry, on view of the body
of John Gent, a carter, aged 21. On Saturday morning,
about 11 o'clock, he was employed in driving the tram
trains that conveyed rubbish from the Albert dock to the
North shore ; and when passing the Trafalgar dock, front
some cause or other, he was stopping the train with a
handspike, for a break, when the bar of wood he• held,
slipped, and he fell to the ground, and the wheels of sev-
eral of the loaded waggons passed over his breast: lie
was killed on the spot being dreadfully fractured, nearly
all over, and the left lung much lacerated.—Verdict
accidentally killed, with a deodand of £5 on the carriages.
The jury expressed a strong opinion that a proper break.
should be used and not a piece of loose timber, which was-
hable to slip out, thus endangering the life of the party
using it.

DAY'S PATENT WINDGU'ARD.—We had ves`.erday the
pleasure of impeding a working model of this Ample and
beautiful machit e at Mr. Bennet's, in St. Thomaa', build-
ings." The object of the invention as it, stated in the ad-
vertisement "is to create a draft (where otherwise it
wonld not exist) by the spontaneous action of the exter-
nal sir. And it certainly fulfils every object intended to,
be effected. Wh tt appeared most strange to es was that
the more adverse to ordinary draft was the artificial gale
applied to the model, the more the principle developed
itself, and a pair of bellows when applied to the top of.
the 60-land in the model produced a greater draft than when.
they were applied to the fuel, but the instant the guard.
was removed a back draft resulted. The Windguard is-
of an octagonal form, takes up no more room than am
ordinary pipe, and is so simple in construction—every-=
thing being stationary—that it is next to impossible that it
can go out of repair. For cabin stoves it will bc., exceed-
ingly usefui4--and as we have known numerous instances
when cabin fires have had to be extinguished either
from their smoking or from the sea making its way down
the flues,--both of which by this inventionwill be obviated
—we doubt not will soon be appreciated. We would re-
commend the curious to see the models of this machine.

other towns, compels him to announcei ENE s s
cthat after this no-
tice he must positively close.
