lNERfooL, Aprll -.
The business in Cotton for the week en-
ding to-day reports heavy cotton market
with decline of I'd. per ID. on American
descriptions since the last steamer, and Id
since the Circular Of the Sth inst The
market is in a depressed state and prices
considered nominal, as it is impossible to
effect sales in quantity, even at Id. below
our quotations. Public opinion is decided
ly against the market in consequence of the
large receipts at American ports. The
stock of Cotton in this port is 527 900 bales
Of which 100000 are American, against
$4,000 bales last year, of which $4,000
were American.
Trade in Manchester was dull. There
was less doing in goods and yarns, and
prices had a downward tendency.
The Corn market is dull, the receipts
from France of flour having been over
whelming. The receipts at this port alone
from that country have amounted to 49,
600 bbls., and the quantity in the market so
far exceeds the demand that prices are
nominal. Western Canal Flour 19sa20s.
Philadelphia and Baltimore 2Os. 6d.a2ls.

Nothing Of interest occurred in Parlia-
ment previous to adjournment. Upon the
motion for going into committee on the as
sessed taxes, Mr. D'Israeh moved a reso-
luton OF (which he had previously given no.
tee that in any relief granted by adjust
ment of taxation that due regard should be
had to the depressed condition of the ag-
ricultural interest. He commented with
severity on the course pursued by the Gov
vernment during the session with reference
to the agricultural interest, by refusing to
relieve the distress they acknowledged to
exist, disappointing the hopes the farmers
had entertained from expressions in Royal
speech.
He animated before he sat down, that
he would agree to therepeal of the window
tax, but would oppose to the utmost the
imposition Of any income tax upon farmers.
The speech was received with loud cheers
from the Protectionists. Mr.. Latchmer re-
piled, and agreed that the relief offered the
agricultural classes by the repeal of the
window tax, and the modification of the
house tax would be greater thanthat which
would result from the measures originally
proposed for that object, or that would be
given by the repeal of the income tax, as
recommended by Mr.. Herrier.
Lord John Russell complained of the
dissensions produced in the country by
these motions which when straightforward
disolaimcd any intention of changing the
Free-trade policy. Upon division there
were found for the motion $50, against it
263. Lord Stanly presented petition
from the inhabitants of British Guinea,
praying for an entire change in the repre-
scntation system. Earle Grey agreed with
the Noble Lord, that Guinea should enjoy
free institutions as soon as she was fit to re-
ceive them. The income tax bill viii pass
to its second reading when the Parliament
rc-assembles on the 2Sth.
