trand-CottOn Market. &c.
The fine packet-ship Liverpool, Captain Ell

mr. London dates to the evening of the 5th ult
and Liverpool to the 9Th.
VIM. Niblo, Esq. arrived passenger in the Liv-
erpool.
The speculation fever in the Cotton Market
had abated somewhat of its intensity, and trans
actions were comparatively small. Prices were
6m, however. Spectators for the moment ap-
,eared to be satisfied.
This arrival brings us news of the death of Sc
vera distinguished personages-General Ber-
trand, SO lately the honored guest of this country,
and the friend and companion of Napoleon, died
AT Chateauroux on the lst Feb. The announce
ment of this event was the signal for general
mourning throughout France. In the Chamber
of Deputies, in announcing the death Of the
faithful companion of Napoleon in his adversely,
NJ. de Bricqueville said, "his loss viii be keenly
felt by all well-thinking men. We have now
duty to fufll-to unite his ashes to those of the
Emperor The Chamber, in SO doing, will per-
form an act for which France will feel grateful"
The Infanta Carlotta, sister Of the King of
Naples, the Duchess of Berry, &c, died at
Madrid on the 30th January. 'This event Says
the Tines derives Importance from the prospect
it opens of the marriage of her son with the Queen
Isabella, and the consequent settlement of the
affairs of Spain"
Ireland.
The State Trials.-On Saturday, Sd, Mr..
l'Donah addressed the Court on behalf Of MIR.
During the day Mr.. O'Connel applied to the Court
that his address might be ad ourned until Monday,
and the Court complied. On Monday, then, at 10
o'clock precisely, their Lordships took their seats
upon the Bench, and as soon as the names of the
traversers and Jury were called over, MIR. O'CoN-
NELL rose and commenced his speech, which was
very long, and occupied the Court throughout
the day. The Court was crowded with an i'm
mense throng of eager listeners.
Dir. O'Connell disclaimed having ever violated
any law or having ever been actuated by any
motive save desire to serve his country. He,
however, acknowledged himself a Repeater, and
ayowed that, with the most upright intentions his
acts, since he first began that course Of conduct
which had brought him before Their Lordshlps,
had for their end and object the Repeal OF
the Union. ''I tell you (hc exclaimed | cannot
bear tit was forced upon the irish people by
he most foul and uniustltiable means that ever
Government had recourse to, and have the
highest authority for saying so.'' He then went
on as he said, not to take back any of the senti
ments he had advocated, but to repeat the sub
stance of every thing he had previously said
Mr.. O'Connell ndiculed the idea OF his course
n behalf of Repeal being charged upon hun as a
,onspiracy and displayed with much power and
biting irony the mockery of calling that con-
spiracy which had been transacted at noon-day,
and published upon the winds. If there be
conspiracy, where is it Where the time, the
ylace, the circumstances, the actors No speci-
icatons were made, and 1t was not at all certain

all about, and has then thrown these dreadful
newspapers into the iury-boX in heap, and told
The Jury, "thefe they are--help yourselves to the
conspiracy :" He had told them nothug, PROV

Mr.. O'Connell then went on to examine IN de-
