doubtful whether it was either now ascertained, or likely to
be ascertained, that two markets would not answer. One
great reason of the south market not answering was that it
was too far east; the north market answered very well; and
if a situation could be found about Hope-street, or towards
St. James's church, he did not see why it would not answer.

Mr. Alderman EARLE thought it would be a great pity to
go to the expense of erecting sheds when the south market
was so likely to prove a complete failure. He was afraid it
would not do. He thought if this experiment in London-
road was allowed to be tried-

see why you should hear Mr. Earle.

Mr. Alderman EARLE said if the votes were examined it
would be found that several members had now voted for the
postponement who had voted for the appropriation of the
-market at the last meeting.
Mr. BIRKETT said he had voted for it because some gentle-
men thought the subject had not been sufficiently discussed,
but he would be no party to postponing it for six months.
Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE was glad that this decision had
taken place because it would show the public what little con-
fidence could be placed in the resolutions of the council.

A desultory conversation then took place upon the question
whether the postponement should be for a month or till the
next meeting of the council. It was terminated by Mr.
Gladstone saying that he would agree to the postponement
being only till the next council, and a resolution to this ef-
fect was unanimously adopted.
The council then separated, the proceedings having occu-
pied about an hour.

MR. IL M. RAYMOND'S FIRST APPEARANCE AT
THE HAYMARKET THEATRE, LONDON.

Mr. Malone Raymond, who has acquired some celebrity in
the provinces, made his debut on Thursday night as Major
O'Flaherty, in Cumberland's play of the " West Indian."
His performance was marked with much good sense, good
taste, and discretion, though it was not elaborated in all its
details. The tone of the character he had completely appre-
hended, and added to a perfectly gentlemanlike bearing the
delicate kindness of the good major, with a pleasant under-
current of quiet humour. His firstimportant speech, where
he contemplates Charles Dudley as an object of compassion,
was given with so much feeling that it produced a favourable
impression at once upon the audience ; and when, in his in-
terview with Lady Rusport, he pretended to weep over her
departed husband, there was so much drollery in the obvious
assumption of grief, in the very deliberate sorrow, that the
application of his handkerchief to his eyes was the signal for
a roar. lie remained a favourite throughout the evening,
ami though his points were quietly given, not one of them
missed fire.—London Times.

mitted as a church society, then the Pastoral Aid Society
was all that it pretended to be ; indeed, it was the Church
Pastoral Aid Society. (Applause.) But, secondly, he must
be permitted to observe as well, that if there were any like
Rean and Shimski of old, who would impede them in their
good work, whatever difficulty they (the society) might
find in making 'out that they were a church society,
they need say little of the task they had imposed
upon themselves .of proving their claim to the hon-

was concerned, than to be esteemed both a warm and high
churchman. (Hear.) But it might be that he, in common

who was to follow him would go into detail. 247 incumbents
had already been aided by the society, and many of them by
more than a single grant. He was himself a pluralist on the
bounty of the society. Under these 247, there was a popu-

had the happiness to say, that through the instrumentality of
this society, 154 churches had been already built—one within
his ow❑ incumbency, and there were 64 now in progress.
117 licensed places of worship had been opened in neglected
districts, and 37 more were contemplated. Great good had
been done by the distribution of tracts, prayer books and

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 18

We have had a large supply of Beasts at this day's market, and
prices a little on the decline. The number of Sheep was small,
and last week's prices were fully supported. Prime Beef 6d to bid,
middling sid ; Bulls and Segs aati to 4d; prime Wetliers 7.1 d to
73d; middling 70 v► lb, sinking the offal. Number of Beasts, 1141 ;
Sheep 2186.

the better kinds have for some time back been quoted, and dis-

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 15

In our market of to day there was a slight increase in the supply
of Beasts, but it was chiefly composed of the refuse of Monday,
Owing to the thin attendance of dealers, the Beef trade was in a
very depressed state, and previous rates were with difficulty sup-
ported. From Scotland we received 240 horned and polled Scots.
together with 150 Sheep, but only 120 of the former were brought
forward this morning. The number of Sheep was fair for the time
of year, while the sale for them was slow, and the highest figure
obtained for the best old Downs in their wool was 4s 8d per Bibs.
The receipts of Lambs were tolerably good, but of middling and
inferior quality. The Lamb trade was dull, but no depression was
noticed in the quotations. Owing to Calves being abundant, the
inquiry for them was heavy, at an abatement of 2d per Bibs. In
Pigs little was passing. Mitch Cows moved off slowly, at from .el 6
to £2O lOs each, including their small Calf. By the quantities of
Bibs, sinking the offal.

STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c

If appearances and the feeling existing in our mercantile
circles may be trusted to, we are at length about to emerge
from the extreme depression which for the last few months
has hung over us. The market for our leading staple (cot-
ton) has, during the past week, been of a more than usually
lively character, and, up to Friday, 39,030 bales were sold,
a considerable portion into speculators' hands. Prices have
not materially moved ; but some additional tightness is
shown on the part of holders.

On Saturday the disposition to purchase largely conti-
nued, and from 7to 8000 bales changed hands.: Yester-
day we had also a general and good demand from the
trade, and from speculators, which was somewhat checked
by the advance of price asked by sellers. About 6000
bales, however, were sold at an advance of id. to id.
per lb. We think we may, with some confidence,
conclude from these manifestations that the price of this
raw material has seen its lowest point:

•••• ---
A similar opinion appears to prevail in the Manchester
market with respect to manufactured goods. This mar-
ket, however, betrays such various fluctuations that we
really dare not calculate upon it with any certainty.

COTTON MARKET, APRIL 18

Our Cotton market was opened this morning with a general and
good demand both from the trade and speculators, particularly
from the former, but the market having been pretty well cleared
last week, brokers asked a further advance on their stocks, which
for a time checked the progress of business, buyers being not only
unwilling to meet it, but absolutely refusbd to purchase, except at
last week's prices, or at about id to 4cl advance on the prices of
this day week, particularly for American descriptions, from 4id to
4id or sd,—in this way about 6000 bales have been sold, 1000 to
speculators and a few hundred for export. The market closes with
very great firmness.

with which he has overlooked the fact that the duty of 15d.
upon foreign has been, in practice, reduced to 10d. or ls.)
has understated the advantages which will result from
the proposed alterations in the Tariff, for the consumption of
articles is estimated at a lower scale, and the rate of reduction
at a lower rate, than would have been perfectly justifiable.
But as the object is to convince by undeniable facts, perhaps
the course he has adopted is the preferable one.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 15

The active demand noticed yesterday again opened the
market this morning. There has been a fair attendance of
the trade, which, with the speculative enquiry, has caused a
business of about 6000 bales, one-half of which has been on
speculation account. Cotton continues to be freely offered,
and the market very firm, at the full prices of yesterday.
The weekly sales amount to 39,000 bales, of which 12,000

This morning it was very evident, from the general inquiry, that
another large business would be done in Cotton, and from 7 to 8000
bales have been sold, about one half on speculation account The
large buyers of Thursday and Friday arc still operating freely, so
that the speculative inquiry lies in a small compass. Prices
are tightning.

COTTON MARKET, APRIL IS

Our Cotton► market was opened this morning with a general and
good demand both from the trade and speculators, particularly
from the former, but the market having been pretty well cleared
last week, brokers asked a further advance on their stocks, which
for a time checked the progress of business, buyers being not only
unwilling to meet it, but absolutely refused to purchase, except at
last week's prices, or at about id to id advance on the prices of
this day week, particularly for American descriptions, from 4id to
4id or sd,—in this way about 6000 bales have been sold, 1000 to
speculators and a few hundred for export. The market closes with
very great firmness.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
In the early part of the week there was a very good demand,
which continued until Wednesday, on which day there was less
doing, and prices had a tendency downwards ; yesterday, however,
there were speculators in the market to a large extent, and their
operations have been followed up to-day, which, aided by a good
business for the trade, has been the cause of prices regaining the
trifling decline, and the market has closed firmly at the quotations
of Friday last. Speculators have taken 12,000 American, and ex-
porters 1500 American, 100 Peruvian, 350 Surat and 150 Madras.

We have repeatedly asserted, in answer to the arguments
against the Income Tax, that the parties who will have to
pay it will be so much relieved by the changes in the New
Tariff, that the former impost will he more than covered by
their gains in the necessaries of life. A contemporary, the
Church and State Gazette, has rendered good service to the
public by entering into some very minute details on this
subject, and illustrates the truth of our statement by the
three following cases :

Owing to tl.e thin attendance of dealers, the Beef trade was in a
very depressed state, and previous rates were with difficulty sup.
ported. From Scotland we received 240 horned and polled Scots,
together with 150 Sheep, but only 120 of the former were brought
forward this morning. The number of Sheep was fair for the time
of year, while the sale for them was slow, and the highest figure
obtained for the best old Downs in their wool was 4s 8d per 81bs.
The receipts of Lambs were tolerably good, but of middling and
inferior quality. The Lamb trade was dull, but no depression was
noticed in the quotations. Owing to Calves being abundant, the
inquiry for them was heavy, at an abatement of 2d per 81bs. In
Pigs little was passing. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at from .el 6

MURDER AT ROEHAMPTON

STATE OF THE CHURCH IN SPAIN

The " brief" lately issued from the Vatican, enjoining a
plenary indulgence in the form of a jubilee to all the faithful,
that their prayers may be offered up for the maintenance of
the Papal supremacy in Spain, has thrown the Irish Roman
Catholic hierarchy into a perfect ferment. " Pastorals" are
flying in all directions descriptive of the schism and its con-
comitant evils which threaten to supersede the authority of
Pope Gregory XVI in the government of the Spanish Church.
"John Tuam" was the first to respond to the warning voice
from Rome ; and the echo has been caught up by Drs. Blake
and Keatinge, titulars, of Dromore and Ferns. The former,
in the course of his " Pastoral," quotes the following pas-
sages from the " lamentations of the common father," to use
the words of Dr. Blake himself ; and to say the truth, ac-
cording to this statement, matters appear to fully justify
Pope Gregory's wont apprehensions :
" In the supreme councils of that kingdom," says his holi-
" an execrable law has been proposed, tending princi-
pally to destroy altogether legitimate ecclesiastical authonty,
and to establish the impious doctrine, that lay power, by its
own supreme right, should rule over the Church and all its
affairs.

" This law declares that the Spanish nation shall entertain
no respect for the Apostolic See; that all communications
with it, for whatsoever ecclesiastical favours, indulgences,
and concessions, shall be intercepted; and that all those who
shall resist this order shall be severely punished. It is fur-
ther decreed that all apostolic letters, and other rescripts
emanating from the Holy See, unless they be sought of Spain,
not only shall not be observed and be without any effect, but
must be denounced by those to whom they shall come, within
a brief space of time, to the civil authority, that they may
be handed over by it to the government ; and a punishment
is also appointed for those who shall violate this prescription,
that no cause shall be referred from Rome to Spain on the
subject of religious concerns. In fine, the sacred right which
belongs to the Roman Pontiff of confirming or rejecting
bishops in Spain is entirely abolished ; and both the priests
who, being designated for any episcopal church, shall seek
either confirmation or apostolic letters from the Holy See,
and metropolitans who shall solicit the pallium, are punished
with exile."
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1842-04-19

SIR R. PEEL'S FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following resolutions have been agreed to by the Glas-
gow Chamber of Commerce :-
I.—That the chamber having at its last general meeting
declined to pronounce an opinion concerning the corn laws,
until the intentions of government on this and kindred sub-
jects were known, and, as these intentions are now before the
public, it becomes the duty of the directors to revert to so
important a matter.

IL—That objections to particular parts of the entire finan-
cial scheme proposed by Sir Robert Peel should not be al-
lowed to militate against it as a whole, because, though there
are few branches of trade or manufacture which do not con-
sider themselves to be more or less injuriously affected
thereby, yet the fact that so many demands for modification
are made, not in regard to the whole, but by each man for his
special department, proves that the public will be gainers,
and thus these same persons who remonstrate will themselves
be benefitted in every branch, except, perhaps, their own,
while the fairness and impartiality of the measure are further
evidenced by the great number and variety of the articles
subjected to alteration.
3.—ln the opinion of the chamber the scheme submitted to
parliament by the first minister of the crown is an impartial
compromise between the conflicting interests he had to re-
concile. And, considering its vast and comprehensive cha-
racter, the necessity of equalising the revenue and expendi-
ture of the country, the complicated interests involved, and
the many and great difficulties arrayed against it, the direc-
tors believe that it will confer as much real benefit on trade
and manufactures, and on the public, as it was possible, in
the present state of the country, to expect.
4.—The directors further believe that many of the parties
who at present expect to be hurt thereby, will ultimately find
the injury so inflicted to be very little, and that little proba-
bly more than compensated for by countervailing advantages ;
while they have perfect confidence in the wisdom and fairness
of the government to grant such modification in special cases
as the speciality may require and the general weal admit;
and the chamber does not by these resolutions, intend to
fetter itself from presenting to government any such special
cases as may seem to require its interference.

s.—While thus accepting the government scheme as a
comprehensive and wise measure, the Chamber is nevertheless
convinced that, if sudden effect•be given to the alteration of
duties on some of the greater articles (such as timber and
India coffee, not of British plantations), much individual loss
and suffering will be occasioned, for which it can discern no
adequate advantage to the public service, and, therefore,
earnestly desires that a reasonable period be allowed to run
off existing stocks and to make new arrangements.
