LATEST STATE OF THE LIVERPOOL MARKETS•
St:GAIL—The market has been steady since Friday's
weekly report, and prices are well supported. Among
the sales, are some small parcels of West India at previous
rates, and 1,000 bags East India, Madras descriptions
bringing 245. W. per cwt.
Rum.—Some Sales of Jamaica and Demerara are re-
ported at last week's currency.

MOLASSES.—The transactions are unimportant, and
prices without change.
COFFEE.—There is still but a limited demand for any
description ; holders, however, are pretty firm, among the
recent transactions are a small lot of Costa Rica, at 435.
per cwt.

Rica has met some attention since Friday, and prices
are tolerably firm ; 1,800 bags Bengal have changed
hands at 10s. 3d. to Ils. per cwt.
COTTON.—Since the publication of the brokers' circular
the market has manifested a very firm but not active feel-
ing, and holders seemed rather against selling at the quo-
tations of Friday, on which day 7,000 hales changed hands.
The market on Saturday was very firm, and 8,000 bales
changed hands, of which speculators and exporters took
500 American and 1,500 Surat. The market closed with
a hardening tendency in prices yesterday evening, and with
worse supply on it. Compared with Friday's rates, prices
are a shade dearer ' • indeed this may be said of all kinds.
The sales, 7,000 bales, include 500 American for export,
and 500 Surat on speculation. The day's sales are 5,740
American,-200 Pernam and Maranham, 54d. to 61d., 200

TRANMERE CHURCH.-I—On Sunday morning last the Rev. B.
Arthure commenced his annual course of Sunday lectures on
prophecy, to be delivered during Advent. The rev. gentleman
has this year selected for the subject of his discourse the
prophecies contained in the Book of Daniel, and on Sunday be
minutely described the wonders of the great city of Babylon of
old. At the conclusion of his sermon Mr. Arthure eloquently
and feelingly alluded to the rcent death of a member of the
congregation, whom he deservedly eulogised as a lady possessed
of every Christian attribute, who had held the respect of all
classes, and in whom " the poor and needy had lost a warm
friend."

INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM, WANSTEAD.—An adver-
tisement relative to this truly charitable and Christian in-
stitution will be found in another column. This institu-
tion has especial claims upon the sympathies of the public,
the object proposed being to take bereaved infants, if
needful, from the very cradle, and to fulfil all the parental
responsibilities until fourteen or fifteen years of age, qua-
lifying the children to pursue for themselves some path of
industry in whatever station the providence of God may
assign them.

IMPUDENT APPROPRIATION OF OTHER MEN'S GOODS.
—Two respectable-looking men, Josiah Owens and Pat-
rick Milligan, were brought up before Mr. Mansfield,
at the Police-court, yesterday, under the following cir-
cumstances :—On the Ist of ctober last, Owens went
up to the Old Dock Quay in company with another man,
and hating procured assistance, began to break open seven
tons of iron castings belonging to Mr. Man, of Seacombe,
The prisoner Owens represented to the watchman on duty
that he was deputed by Mr. Man, and having got the cast-
ings weighed they were carted away, sad it was subse-
quently found that a portion of them had been sold to
Mr. Fowler, founderer, Concert-street, and the remainder
to Mr. Bickestaff, marine store dealer, Park-lane. On
the 25th of October, Mr. Man's foreman went round the
dock to make inquiries, and hearing what had transpired
the two prisoners were apprehended. The charge against
Milligan was that he was in company of Owens when the
castings were sold. The prisoners were remanded until
the following (this) day.
