THE SCULPTOR Ginsort.—This eminent artist, who is
at present in Liverpool, and to whom a public dinner is
to be given, as noticed in an advertisement, was born in
the parish of Gyffn, and was christened at Conway church
on the 19th June, 1790. He has, consequently, just
entered on his fifty-fifth year. Like the late Sir. Francis
Chantrey, he was originally a wood-carver, his first essays
in that att having been made in the service of Messrs.
Southwood and Wilson, formerly of Ranelagh-street, in
this town. He afterwards obtained his first practical
lessons, which he has pursued with so much success, in
the workshop of Messrs. S. and T. Franceys, of Brown-
low -hill. After an absence of nearly thirty years, in the
course of which he has raised himself to an eminence that
has rendered him world-renowned, he is again amongst
vs an honoured and distinguished guest. On Thursday

WILLIAM P. WRIGHT,
Broker, Hanover-street.

New k, 15th Jul, 1844.
The accounts of the Liverpool Cotton Yor
market, received per Britannia to 19th June, and per Great Western to 22nd June,
being more favourable, holders advanced their prices, which
had the effect of suspending the opersvions of shippers, th•
sales for the week ending 6th inst. amounting to only 1,500,
chiefly to manufacturers, at a slight advance over previonf
quotations.
On Monday and Tuesday of last week the sales were small,
shippers being unwi ling to enter the market; since which,
however, holders have given way a trifle, and the week's busi-
ness has resulted in 5,500 bales, generally at prices current on
29th June, and confined to Uplands and Floridas of middling
qualities. There is but a very limited amount of New Orleans
Cotton offering, at comparatively higher rates ; the recent
floods at the south-west no doubt having some influence 010
the minds of holders of this descriptnn. The market closed oil
Saturday with a dull feeling on the part of shippers, but withOst
any desire to press sales.

I,i-eights to Liverpool Continue dull at 3-16 d. A British veS-
sel has made an engagement at *d.
Exchange on England remains firm at 9i to 9i per cent., wits
a moderate business doing.
