Silas Richards, Captain Holdrege, ar
rived yesterday afternoon from Liver
pool, whence she sailed on the 25th ult.
We received our regular files Of papers
to the gath, and are indebted to the edi-
tor of the Post for a Liverpool paper
Of the 25th, containing London dates
TO the evening ofthe Esd. We subloin
such parts Of their contents as appear
to possess any interest.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool for
the week ending Saturday the 2lst ult.
amounted to 1920 bags, including ITO
Sea Islands at 9 81 to 8 5; 1920 Up
lands l64 to 10; 800 Alabama and Mo-
bile l64 to ls4, and 100 Orleans at lsa
to 81. The imports during the same
period were 1884 bags, including
1884 Uplands and 3o5l Orleans.
Our correspondent writes us under
the above date as foliows:-"Specula-
tors have been very watchful in the
market this week; they have evidently
been preparing to come in freely, but
have been prevented by not being able
to purchase lower than last week, ex-
cept in some instances in Brazils. The
greatest portion of the sales are taken
on speculation. Holders are very firm"
In addition to the above, we have
been favored with a letter of the 23d,
which states that there was much bet
ter feeling in the market On the 2lst,
and from 1000 to 5000 bags Of all sorts
sold at full prices. On Monday (the
23d) there was also good demand
from spectators and the trade at full,
and rather advancing prices-sales a.
bout 5000 bags. The confidence of
holders continued.-The stock in the
hands of dealers and spinners was
small, who would have to resort to that
market for their supplies; they howev-
er expressed their determination to buy
as sparingly as possible.
In articles of American produce the
transactions were unusually small. U.
S. Pots had sold for Ais. the stock be-
ing small-no demand for Pearls
Montreal Pots had been taken on spec
ulation at SOS to SOS cd. but the market
was again inanimate-sales of the week
about l9oobbls.
Carolina Rice less lively and prices
had somewhat receded.-Sales during
the week l7s tierces at los sd to eos.
A Postscript to the above letter Of
the gath, says there was not so much do
ing in the Cotton Market, but prices
remained without alteration.
Corn Exchange, liverpool, May a.
"To-day's market was but indifferently
attended, and buyers were backward.
Wheat we consider full Sd per bushel
cheaper; * Oats to I'D. Beans Is per
quarter; and Flour Is per sack. The
export of Foreign -four has this week
considerably exceeded the import; its
price remains steady. The late i'm
porters of bonded Grain find at present
no demand for it; it silently passes un-
der the Kings lock to await its desti-
n.y." London, Nay 23.-"The Flour
trade is excessively heavy, but prices
unaltered."

The following, says the Liverpool
Courier, is an extract ola letter, dated
Madrid, May 4. The natural conse-
ouences of abused absolute power do
not appear to be far distant. "The
bad state of our finances, and still more
the bad use made by the government
of the little money which comes into
the public treasury, begins to produce
the consequences that might be expect
