MARKETS. .
Liverpool markets, March LIST. The cot
ton market was firm, holders have taken
a firm stand against any further decline,
and they are holding back for more ia
vorable turn. The latest advices from
America giving confirmation of previous
estimate of stock caused favorable time
for sellers, and good demand sprung up
both from the trade and speculators. This
increased the activity which was respond.

with Id. advance, lin good ordinary to mid

PRovIsIoNs--rhere has been an improv-
ed feeling in the market for beef, and it con.
tinues firm; but for want OF assortments the
transactions were not so extensive. There
being no pork in importers hands-hold-

much wanted. and first arrivals will be
taken eagerly. Several imports OF lard
from the continent nave caused reaction,
and prices are shilling TO l Cd. lower
with languid demand. There is an active
inquiry for cheese at the late advance.

Second Despatch. "
ENGLAND.-ln the House OF Commons
on the 28th ult., Lord John Russell moved
further adjournment of the House. as her
Majesty, the Queen. had sent for Lord
Wellington TO obtain his opinions regard
ing the present state of political affairs,
parties, &c. Lord John Russell referred
to the contradiction he had met with from
D'lsraeli, relative TO Lord Stanley having
refused to form cabinet. He said he pro-
fessed desire TO maintain free trade, to
extend the franchise and to put down Pa
pal aggression, in manner which his bill /
proposed. but he said that Lord Aberdeen
and Sir James Graham deemed any legis-
laiive measure on the subject superAuous.
This was the point upon which the nego-
tiation failed.
Sir James Graham addressed the House.
He said while he professed his willingness
to work with Lord Russell, he was opposed
to an extension Of the franchise and 10 his
Papal bill. Some notice, he thought, might
have been taken of the aggression, by the
British Government, but any Legislative en-
actment on the subject he deprecated. =
Some other unimportant speeches were
made before the House rose.
The Duke Of Wellington is spoken of
as the next Premier, in place of Lord John
Russell. Wilmer & Smiths Times thinks
this is mere temporary arrangement, but
that it would not be unpalatable to the
country for a compromise The delay
which has already taken place threatens
to extend the session far beyond the time
originally fixed. Explanations were made
in the House Of Lords, not dissimilar to
those of the Lower House. @.is @
