COTTON MARKET-THREE O'CLOCK.

An exceedingly quiet day in Cotton ; the amount of busi-
ness does not exceed 2500 bales, at similar prices to yester-
day. The sales of the week are 21,000 bales : speculators
take near 5000, and the trade the remainder. Prices gene-
rally sd. per lb. lower.

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, AUGUST 31.—There
was no material change in the state of the market yesterday.
Owing to the continued absence of a large portion of the
factory bands from their employment, the amount of busi-
ness done is still limited, and prices are very irregular. Ge-
nerally speaking, they were rather higher yesterday than on
the preceding Tuesday ; and the demand, especially for yarn,
continues to be extensive. Until the factories resume work,
however, no decisive opinion can be formed as to the actual
state of the market.

CRICKET.—KENT V. ALL ENGLAND. —On Saturday
this, the third match which has been played this season be-
tween eleven of Kent and a similar number chosen from the
other counties of England, was concluded, after three (lays'
play,"commencing on Wednesday last, at Bromley, when,
contrary to general anticipation, the Kentish party were
completely defeated, their adversaries winning the match
with ten wickets to go. down.
It is not generally known, although it is a positive fact,
that-the.exeelatars.of the late. Marquis of Hertford, having
failed in convicting Suisse in the Central Criminal Court,
have commenced a civil action against him for £BO,OOO. On
Saturday ii judge's warrant was issued for his apprehension.
The
.bail that would have been required is £160,000.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUGUST 29.—There has
been air improved demand for flannels to-day, and the buyers
have purchased very freely ; but the manufacturers have not
been able to get any advance in price. The wool market has
been very dull, and a very limited quantity of business has
been transacted at former prices.
ATTACK OF AN ELEPHANT.—An accident occurred at
Hawkhurst fair, which had nearly proved fatal to one of the
inhabitants of the place, by an attack from one of the ele-
phants in the fair. It appears that Mr. Richard How and
his wife were among the company who had gone into the
booth or show to view this animal, and, like many others,
had been treating the elephant to some of the delicacies
which are,to be purchased at all country fairs. He had just
turned his hack about to leave the place, when the elephant
twisted' his trunk round him, and threw him with great
violence against the sides of the place, breaking two or three
of his ribs, and otherwise much injuring his shoulder, &c.
When down, the elephant endeavoured to tread upon him,
first, however, picking his pocket of the only remaining
apple in it ; and had it not been for a piece of timber which
fortunately lay on the ground between his foot and Mr.
How, his destruction would have been inevitable. Mr.
How owes the preservation of Isis life' entirely to this fortu-
nate circumstance, added to the prompt and kind assistance
he met with from a neighbour.—Maidetone Journal.

" DRUMS, TRUMPETS, BLUNDERBUSSES, GUNS, AND
THUNDER 1"—" Bella, horrida Lelia ! —" War's rude
alarms!" &c.—The Crescent City has given vent to the
following ominous paragraph :—" A QUESTION.—The emi•
gration from England into this country is greater than has
ever been known, and our affairs, it is said, are getting cri-
tical again with that country..
,Are these pauper emigrants
soldiers in disguise ? or ready to be made such on a declara-
tion of hostilities! We only ask for information." . And
you shall have it. All the '`pauper einiffapts" are " soldiers
in disguise." They are formed into ragged regimeuts,"
and are secretly drilled by efficient officers every dark even
'when " the moon is seen behind a, cloud," armed with hoe-
handles, hickory sticks, bean-poles, anti cotton umbrellas.
They have battering-trains of quaker, furnished by the
emigrant packet-ships, and go forth to drill armed with
mighty slings. Some of them are paid a dollar a day to dig
ditches in order to learn them how to prepare entrenchments.
Perhaps they will rise to-morrow morningovherefore it be-
haves the Crescent to 'be wide awake, and ready to turn
those scissors into daggers"
