'COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 31.
We commence the week with a very good demand from con-
sumers, which comes upon a bailly supplied market, and a
daily decreasing stock. Prices consequently are getting up a
little, and buyers have not got on to their minds. The saes
reach 5,1)00 bales entirely to the trade. The last steamer's ac-
counts are considered to have a lightening tendency for cotton.

before them, and-before sanctioning any further
extension of the principle of dock warehouses,
there is one question which demands a more satis-

factory and clear solation than it has as yet re-
ceived, viz., the all-important question raised by
Mr. Henderson and Mr. David Hodgson at the
last Council meeting—do the present Dock Ware-
houses pay a fair interest upon their cost.
We are aware that there are conflicting opinions
upon this point. Mr. Mann stated at the meeting
in question that the Albert Warehouses are, or will
be, a paying property. In reply to this statement,
however, Mr. Henderson—who is one of the ware-
house sub-committee—furnished the Council with
the following facts and figures. The latest account
handed to the Committee was for the half-year

POWER OF THE PRIMATE.=-We very much doubt whe-
ther, in a strict point of law, the Archbishop of Canter-
bury-has not fuller powers than ever claimed by Thomas
a Beckett. Becket was not independent of appeals to
Rome ; but the present Archbishop of Canterbury is. He
is, in fact, ex officio, in regard to the canon law, a legate ;
a privilege enjoyed in addition only by the Archbishop of
York, and the Archbishop of Rheims, in France.—

HEAD MASTERSHIP OF BIRMINGHAM SCHOOL.—The
Governors of King Edward the Vl.'s School met on Wed-

the claims of only three—viz., the Rev. S. J. Rigaud,
M.A., senior assistant-master of Westminster School ;
the Rev. E. H. Gifford, M.A., Second Master of Shrews-
bury School; and the Rev. G. E. L. Cotton, M.A., one
of the Masters of Rugby School, were submitted to the
t I ballot. Mr. Gifford was duly elected.

GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL

A handsome copy of Elliott's " Home Apocalyptic&'
was presented on the 31st Jan., by the Female Teachers
of Christ Church Sunday School to the Rev. Benjamin
S. Clarke, on his removal from the curacy of Christ
Church, to the incumbency of Thorpe ilesley, Yorkshire.
The volumes were accompanied with the -following
address:—

TO THE REV. B. S. CLARKE.
Rev. and Dear Sir,—We, the Female Teachers and
Scholars of the Christ Church Sunday School, unwilling
you should leave us without some expression of the feel-
ings we entertain towards you, beg to present you with

Providence of God has pleased to place you amongst us,
and of the high value we cannot but set upon your la-
bours on our behalf. Praying earnestly that we may all
meet at the Revelation of Jesus and humbly but heartily
commending you to God and the power of His grace that
you may be enabled elsewhere as here to " prepare the way
of the Lord, and make straight in the desert a highway
for our God,"—We desire to retain in your prayers what
you shall ever have in ours—an earnest remembrance.
Signed on behalf of the Teachers and Scholars.

LONDON AND NORTA-WESTERN DIVIDEND.—Com-
mon report seems to have fixed the forthcoming dividend
at four per cent. for the half-year. The amount must be
quite uncertain, as the directors have not met to decide.
The important quest:on is rather what could be paid, than
what will be; and, having consulted with several parties
likely to know, we ate enabled to say that, whatever pru-
dential reasons may prevail to render a four per cent.
dividend desirable, the resources of the line would entitle
the directors—if the practice of other railway companies
were followed—to continue four-and-a-half. Should four
per cent, be declared, a very large increase will probably
be made to the reserve fund, which,. if we remember cor-
rectly, is now somewhere between £120,000 and £140,000.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 4

The arrival of the Boston steamer, on Saturday, bringing
advices of small shipments to this country, had the effect of
inducing importers to withdraw their stocks from the market
for higher rates ; the overland mail also brought more cheer-
ing accounts for manufactured goods and yarn, which was sen-
sibly felt in Manchester on Tuesday last, and produced hereon
Wednesday a very numerous attendance of the trade, who pur-
chased very. freely, and as the demand still continues good,
holders have realized an advance of 4d. per lb. on American,
*d. on Surat, and full prices for Brazil and Egyptian. Expor-
ters have taken IGO American and 30 Maranham, and specula-
tors 3000 American and 300 Surat. There were forwarded into
the country unsold during the last month 1870 American, 300
Pernam, and 600 Surat. The result of the public sales of Sea
Island will be given next week.
