The fine ship Belvidera, Capt. George
Hobson. with foil cargo, arrived here
Yesterday evening from Liverpool, whence
She sailed on the 9th of February. we
are indebted to the friendly attention OF
Can't. Hobson for file OF Liverpool pa
pers TO the 9Th, and of Loadon papers to
the Ath February inclusive. We do not
find, on hasty perusal OF them. any IN
telligence of Importance. We have gwen
extracts below and shall continue The Sc
lections IN our next paper it OF sufficient
interest.
When the Belvidera was on the eve of
departure it was reported to Capt, II. that
the King OF Engla was so much indis-
posed that he would not be able to address
Parliament in person as had been previous
Iy contemplated.
We have also been politely favored with
the following letter, dated
liverpool. Feb. 5.
We have again the pleasure OF waiting
on you with our Price Current which we
are sorry to say presents very little encou-
ragement for shipments here.
Cotton continues at low prices,'&' those
who have the reputation OF being best in
formed IN the trade, do not expect any i'm
provement to justify holding imports over
for better prices.
1t is we'll understood that the rot has
made considerable raVages in some places.
but in others ,he crop is abundant, and the
quantity in excess over last years import,
expected from the Brazls and other pla-
ces. it is believed, will afford an abundant
supply to this market.
In tobacco we have had very little do
ing for the last month, and although there
IS no alteration IN prices, yet in the ab-
sence of demand they are easier to be
bought, States Ashes are in good demand
aud scarce. Bark selling at lower prices
OF Flaxseed the price is nominaliy 65 67t
but as vet the business OF the season has
not opened, it is difficult to say what pri-
ces may be obtained.
We are, yours very respectfully,

A London paper OF February 4, says
There has been great hustle at the
Stock Exchange this morning, and the
Funds have advanced fully one per cent,
since Saturday morning. All the idle fears
entertained respecting taxing the stocks,
and the ridiculous reports so industrlously
circulated to depress the funds, have subsi-

ThesLiverpool Advertiser of February 5,
says--''Ireland still presents most dis
tressing subject for contemplation. The
agitations with which it has long been dis
tracted have lately assumed more form
dable aspect II the accounts which
reach us from that country, are not very
much exaggerated, the disturbed districts
may be said to be in state of open in
surrecton--armed bodies of men to the
number of eight or nine hundred are repre-
sented as assembling for the purpose of
attacking the mails, and of resisting any
force that might be opposed TO them. An
overwhelming military force will probably
be collected TO put down these insurrec-
tionary movements; and after much blood
shed we shall be told that the country is
tranquliZed: but this is not that tranquili-
ty which we wish 10 see established.
The mass of misery and suffering must
be diminished. If men are too miserable

increased severity of punishment serves
only to stimulate 10 more daring crimes,
and to more aggravated outrages against
the peace OF society,""
