LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.M.

This is generally our quietest day in Cotton, but, from the
commencement of business to the present hour, buyers have
been very active, and fully 5000 bales have been sold, at the
extreme prices of yesterday, or id per lb on our quotations
of Friday last.

ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—On Saturday morning last, at a
very early hour, Air. Ilaile, of Threapthwaite, near White-
haven, hearing a noise in the hen-roost, got out of bed and
went there, when he saw a tall fellow make his escape, and
Mr. Haile was about to follow him, when he suddenly en-
countered another of less stature, who was just escaping
from the hen-roost. A desperate conflict now ensued be-
tween Mr. Haile and the lesser villain, in which the former
had the advantage. The thief was knocked down, and his
conqueror was about to drag him to the house, when, by a
violent effort, the fellow got hold of Mr. Haile's collar, and
succeeded in pulling him down also. The contest was now
renewed upon the ground, each party grappling with the
other, and a most fearful struggle ensued, in the midst of
which the tall fellow returned to his companion's assistance,
and by a series of furious kicks on the head and breast, soon
rendered Mr. Haile nearly insensible. Even in that state,
however, he still held the lesser fellow with a tenacity of
grasp which defied the efforts of both villains to extricate
him. At length the taller of the thieves drew out a knife,
with which he cut Mr. Haile across the forehead, and in-
flicted a deep and dangerous wound in his neck, about a
quarter of an inch from the

AN USEFUL HINT.—BRIGHTON, August I.—A curious
announcement was yesterday
and has been attended with some unpleasantrota one of our pulpits,
At the close of his sermon at the Chapel consequences.
morn-
ing, the Rev. S. R. Drummond, theofficiating minister,
Royal in the
addressing his congregation, remarked,
might be considered a novelty for a clergymanthat although it
the pulpit at the close of the service, hisi to speak from
that there were now among the congregation wished to tell them
pickpockets, and that it would, therefore, be welvil• notorious
be careful. Such an announcement coming from or them to
and just at a time when the town is full of that description pulpit,
marauders waiting to pick up the unwary
at
the
eription of
coming
races, created a sensation ; and, as if by coromon consent
thees,
eyes of the congregation were turned in the direction f'
a pew, where sat two gentlemanly-dressed strangers whohad entered the church during the reading of the Litany.'
The two strangers on leaving the chapel were followed as far
as Castle-square by a large portion of the congregation,
when they asked the meaning of such an attendance, and
were informed by one of the headboroughs that they were
suspected to be pickpockets. The gentlemen protested their
respectability, which they offered to prove to any gentleman
in the crowd who would accompany them. No one else
coming forward to do so, the headborough got into the fly,
which was driven to the house of a respectable lady resident
in Brighton, who stated that the suspected pickpockets were
the curate of Barton-on-Humber and a fellow of St. John's
College, Cambridge, residing at Blackheath.—Times of
Tuesday.—[A correspondent in Wednesday's Herald, states
than an action has been commenced against Mr. Drummond
by the gentlemen mentioned above.]

BOMBAY HARBOUR, 14TH JUNK, 1842.—A dreadful fire broke

on the 10th instant, and in twelve hours she was consumed, with
a valuable cargo of cotton, opium, &c. for China. There was
another ship, of 1400 tons, burnt here a fortnight ago. Not the
smallest attempt was made to save either, but they were left drift.
ing about the Harbour in flames fore and aft, to the great danger
of the other shipping in the port. Such carelessness, I believe,
was never witnessed. There are no other ships on the eve of sail-
ing for Liverpool. Freights are tremendously low. Ships are
laying here doing nothing, and likely to remain so, as there are
more coming in every day.
