COTTONS.


Recent advices from France and
England have had the eHectto advance
the prices Of this important staple OF
our country. Sales have been made OF
long staple cotton, at about 2 cents on
previous rates. In short cottons the
market has been rather fat, notwith-
standing these favorable accounts, tho
an advance of cent on the middle
and lower qualities and cent on finer
kinds has been obtained over the rates
Of the previous week /; but no great
deal has been done The sales have
been l6 for inferior, and l6a II cents
for mixed lots. 1t requires good to
command Is cents, and prime to bring
lsa ls cents; some little very choice
has been sold at 90 cents. We have
given the range from 1 5 to 20 cents,
which embraces all transactions re-
marking that there are very few sales
a, either of the extremes.

November. 1t will be seen by our ex-
tract from the Calcutta papers, thai
the Burmese begin to be alarmed a
the inefficiency of their operations
against our troops. The King seems
determined to bring forward an over
whelming force, with which he hopes
to effect the destruction of the stran
gers. 1t appears, however, from pri'
vate letter, that in addition to our In
dian army, he will have to sustain the
attack Of the Siamese. 1t is highly
probable that the character of Euro.
pean discipline may be known to the
King, who will in vain seek to insure
success, by succession of Generals
From the discomfort and apprehension
evidently prevalent amongst the Bur,
mese, the issue of the contest cannot
as we think, long remain doubtful.

you, for the information of the mer-
chants and others of Liverpool, inter-
ested in the trade with Canada, that
Lord Liverpool and the Chancellor OF
the Exchequer having again had under

Surst, were sold yesterday at an ad
vance Of I'D to SD on the transac-
tons oflast week; the quantity sold to
day is not yet ascertained, but there IS

March S.-The purchases of cotton
yesterday, were nearly $3.50 bags, at
still higher prices, and this morning a
further impulse has been given to the

New-York, which state great rise in

advices from England, The holders

Liverpool, Feb. 2e.-The business
done in tobacco has again been very
extensive, the trade having purchased

Since the foregoing, we have seen

They contain no important political
details. The accounts of the success
Of Bolivar in Peru had been received,
and was hailed with much satisfaction
in London: it had given start of "a

A very melancholy accident recently
occurred at Eton School, where two Of
the boys, the one named Wood, aged
II, and the other F. Ashley Cooper,
(son of Lord Shaftesbury) aged Is,
fighting out according to custom) a
quarrel, Cooper was killed by heavy
fall. The coroner's jury brought in
verdict of manslaughter against
Wood and his second This caused a
great sensation in the school.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has
proposed very considerable reduction
of duties and excise in England, owing
to the surplus revenue of last year,
which is stated at one and half mil
lion sterling. The whole excise on
wine is repealed, which was equal to a
bout shillings per gallon on French
wines-the duty on coffee and hemp
is also to be reduced one half. The
Chancellor calculates on constant ex-
cess, Notwithstanding these reductions

Sir Francis Burdett had introduced
various resolutions in the House OF

to petition the House Of Lords not to
pass the bill from the Commons for the
