l-2 o'clock, A. NJ, on Saturday, having been

we make the following summary:
Commercial Cotton market-that great
index of the manufacturing and commercial
prosperity of the country-continues i'll quiet,
healthy state. In the early part of last week,
an improvement to the extent of l-Sd per ID.
took place, but towards the end of it fell off,
and the week closed rather heavily. Yesterday
there was not much doing, but the trade buy
moderately, and the market is freely supplied.
The price of the staple is favorable for manu-
facturers, and in the absence of all excitement
they buy as much as will satisfy their wants,
| and no more.
The Share market remains in nearly the
same state as at the sailing of the last packet.
Some of the established lines are higher in
price, but, generally speaking, there is reduc-
| ton in the value of the great bulk of them. No
material change has occurred in the value OF
government stocks; the public securities have
not varied much. Freights from Liverpool are
rather higher, owing to the quantity of goods
offering being greater; but the shipping trade,
nevertheless, is far from being brisk Yester-
day, there was sale of American Candles at
this port which, from the novelty of the cir.
cumstance, excited some interest.

presentations of Yankee life, is now in Liver
pool, fulfilling an engagement of twelve
nights. He is great favorite.
The American Minister transacted business
on Saturday at the Foreign Office.
Spain now absorbs, almost exclusively, the
attention of the quidnunes. From the turn
which the debate in the Chamber of Deputies at
Madrid has taken, it is tolerably clear that the
new constitution, which has been propounded
by ministers, will not receive even the semb-
lance of modification. One of the ministers,
indeed, has unblushingly declared that the
crown was superior to any constitution! "The
Crown, exclaimed he, overrulled every thing,
and that was the form the government of Spain
always had.''
The Right Hon. the Earl of Eglinton and
Winton has been proposed as Lord Rector for
Glasgow University.
