LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET

For the aceek ending March 13. =.
Upon tho, whole, we conceive, that
the week closes with increased frmness,
our quotations remaining as before. We
are hourly looking for the arrival Of the
Boston steamer, with accounts to, the lst
inst. We have nothing encouraging
from Manchester and the manufacturing
districts. 5000 American and 600
Snrats have been taken on speculation,
and $500 American, 800 Pernam and
500 Surat, for export. The sales of
this day is estimated at 1000 bales at,
the same. rates. The sales for the week
amount to 81, 800 bales. ~
March 18. 7
The sales since Friday last amounted
to about IS, 900 bales, including a small
portion taken on speculation, and about
1900 bales American, which we're sold
after the market closed on the l7th for!
export. Prices since the issue of the
last weekly report have been very fully
supported, but not quoted higher. On
The whole the market has firm and
healthy appearance.
The admission Of Indian corn, buck.
wheat, and rice, al nominal duty, pre-
cautions which the Government has
wisely taken 10 arrest this dreaded
dearth, will be found Of Infinite service
in the present position of the county.
The popularity Of Indian Corn as
an article OF food, is daily on the in-
crease, and 100000 quarters which the
Government have purchased for The fans
lshing poor in Ireland will give the
peasanlry a taste, there is every reason
10 hope, for asuperior and economical
article of daily life. 5sss

PELL's PoLrcY.-The first and most
important part of Peel's scheme, which
relates TO corn, has already passed
through its most critical stage, the COM
millee. Mr.. Villiers found no more
than seventy supporters for an immedi-
ale, in preference to ii ,hrre years de-
ierred repeal of The Corn Laws.
Aiready the effects o! Sir Robert
Peel's policy are being Developed on
the continent. Russia is about TO liber.
alize its tariff; while the hold which
Free-trade principles has TAKEN on the
affections OF our volatile French neigh
hors, has all the ardor and constancy Of
fist love. The example is contagious
and little doubt exists that il will be fol~
lowed by every commercial country in
which healthy spirit OF enterprise and
activity exists.
Denmark, for instance, by decree
issued on the 28Ih ult., has made large
reduction on the import duties on cotton.
linen, and other manufactured goods,
and another reduction of the duties was
expected to follow.
Naples is arranging its tariff with a
view TO great reduction in the import
duties; and all this, we take it, is bu,
the precursor of more extended trade
and unalIoyed prosperity.
POLAND.
The armed Polish force retired from
Cracow on the I'd ult. The city then
surrendered on the following conditions:
lst. That they should deliver up all the
known leaders OF the city who remained
in the city, or point out their residences.
9. That a total disarmment of the in
i'abitants should take place, and that all
weapons should be deposited in The cas-.
tie before noon on the 5rh instant. And
Sd. Any person who, during the stay OF
the Austrians in Cracow, appeared with
weapons in their hands, or in whose
dwellings arms of any kind should bo
found, should be judged by court-martial
within tWenly-four hours. Cracow is
now occupied by the Ausirians. The
insurgents were still under arms in the
Provinces.
The Nnremburg Correspondent Of
the I'd states that the whole of Russian
Poland was in open revolt, that several
engagements had already taken place
between the troops and the insurgents !;
that at Wilma rounds of grape shot had
been fired against the people, and that
the Russian soldiers had been ordered
to give no quarters. Another account
