comfort and health are properly carried out
But the subject. il is understood, viii shortly
engage the asention of the House Of Com
mons.
The Cotton market sustains the improved
feeling that ruled when the last steamer sailed.
The ascertained deficiency in the last crop is
the primary cause of the firmness. The sales
during the week exceed 5000 bales, about
10000 of which have been for export and on
speculation, leaving a very respectable daily
average for the trade The imports during the
last week have been light. hardly exceeding
1900 bales. Up to the present time the inn
ports are 1900 bales below those of the cor
responding period last year. Yesterday the
sales exceeded 5000 bales, at firm prices
Large quantities of American provisions
find their way to this country by almost every
arrival. With an anticipated scarcity of bread
stuifs, the records Of the barrels Of flour and
beef which cross the Atlantic at the present
time are duly paraded in the columns of the
daily press. They point moral of crafty
ing character: for when the restrictions which
have hitherto impeded that branch of commerce
are removed-as removed they will bet is
impossible TO gauge the extent TO which the
provision trade between England and Ameri-
ca will be carried. AT present, there are up
wards of 400, 900 barrels of -four under lock in
in Liverpool, all Of which will be removed at
the low duty when the Corn bill becomes a
law.
The Corn trade remains in a very unsatis-
factory state. Operations are suspended
The trade merely supply their immediate wants,
and this ethargy will continue until the fate Of
the Corn Bill is decided by the House of Lords.
The best informed public men are sanguine
that the Peers will pass the bill; and a person.
al friend of our own, q popular member of the
Peoples House, writing last night, says-'.Ihe
opinion still gains ground that Peel's measures
will pass through their remaining stages with
out the country being put to the agony Of a
dissolution. We hear dissolution spoken of
at the clubs but il proceeds from those who are
inmieal TO the Free trade principle. Every re-
volving day convinces me that the consunima-
ton of our triumph is at hand. You may
safely announce this to your American readers
rs feet" The writer has the entree of the
best political society in London. and we rely
with the greatest confidence on his statement,
as we have been previously indebted for valu-
able information and suggestions from the same
high and unexceptionable source.
The accounts which came to hand from
America recently had no visible effect on the
price of the English securities. The settle
ment of the Oregon on the basis of the 10th
parallel continues TO be regarded as a thing
that must be-as a fair settlement, to which
the leading statesmen on both sides Of the At
lantic will combine to give their aid. The in
terminable discussions on the subject in the
Senate bear striking affinity TO the dreary
waste of words in the English House ofCom-
mons on the Coercion aud Corn Bills.

came to hand yesterday, show an improved
feeling in that distant land. Peace is restored,
and commerce the handmade of peace, will
participate in the general prosperity A sum
mary of the political and the commercial intel
ligence will be found in another column.
The English Funds have risen a shade in
consequence ofthe greater abundance of mon
ey, and, upon the whole, the commercial pros
pecls of the last are more encouraging than
these Of the previous fortnight

PARLIAMENT Monday, the 9th ult.,
the Coercion Bill was again on the tapiS in the
House of Commons. On this evening, Sir
Robert Peel made a long and able speech as
to the motives which induced the Government
to introduce it. He made out a strong case in
the character and frequency Of the crimes Of
which Ireland was the scene, and showed that
the present bill was no worse in It's penal iea-
lures than the act which was in operation
when the Marquis Of Normandy was Lord
Lieutenant.
He read lecture to the landlords of Ireland
on the duties which they owed TO their tenan-
try-denounced the system of eviction which
has been, in so many instances, carried out by
them-and, in his gentlest and blandest tones,
eli, LOT h
this. its first stage, withoutfurher delay or OBJ
struction. Sir Robert was followed by one or
two Irish members, who denounced the mea-
sure in strong terms, and the debate was again
adjourned.
On the same evening, in the Peers, Lord
BRoUGHHAM made melancholy declaration
to the effect that, as the Corn Bill was stopped
in its passage through the House of Commons,
he would take the sense Of their lordshps on
its merits at an early day.
Y The House OF Commons came 10 division
on the first reading of the Coercion Bill on the
evening OF Friday. The numbers in its favor

Wings voted in the minority.
Lord ABERDEEN has recognised the annex
alton of Texas, by informing the Custom
house authorities that the produce Of that coun-
try may be regarded as the produce Of the
American Union.
FRIENDLY INTERNATIONAL ADpREssEs.-
The Britannia, which sails to-day, takes out
five Friendly International Addresses from
different towns and cities in England TO the
same number of cities in the United States
The most remarkable Of these addresses IS the
one from the women of Exeter to the women
of Philadelphia signed by sixteen hundred Of
our fair countrywomen. We are reluctantly
compelled to defer the publication Of this adj
dress until Saturday, when the Great Britain
sails.
IRELAND.-The accounts from Ireland
are gloomy, and every day adds to the misery
of the people in that unfortunate country.
The accounts from various parts OF the
country give painful evidence of the existing
distress Many of the districts are suffering
the horrors of famine. and fever is on the in
crease The Ballinasloe Advertiser states that
the district hospital in that town is very crow
ded.
There are many fever cases. The Galway
Mercury gives an account Of a relief meeting

totally inadequate to the emergency OF the evil
