NRw YORK, November 8.--The Liverpool
Cotton Circular, received by the steamer

of the holders here, but owing to the scarcity
Of the middling and better grades of New Or
leans and Mobiles prices are supported at
last weeks rates. Messrs. Hewitt's Circular
says the demand Is good, but buyers have
been freely met, and the market is devoid Of
spirit. Notwithstanding large business,
better qualities are much wanted, and owing
to their actual scarcity, holders are enabled to
obtain slight further advance. Low sandy
grades are being forced of at low figures. The
import of the week were $4,000 bales, and tho
amount known to be at sea is 81, 1000 bales.
The closing quotations are: Middling Orleans,

SUNDAY REoREATIoxs IN New 0RLEANs,--A
shooting affair took place on Sunday afternoon,
the 3Oth ult, between James Boyle and
Policeman James Mclaughlin. Mclaughlin
asked Boyle if he had said certain things
derogatory Of a. friend, which he answered in
the affirmative, when Mclaughlin struck Boyle
and knocked him down. Boyle soon arose,
and, drawing revolver, fired Eve shots at Nc
Laughlin. Mclaughlin drew, and fred twice,
but his pistol clogged at the third cap, and no
one was touched. While Mclaughlin was
firing, Boyle drew . bowie-knife and advanced
on Mclaughlin, who threw down his weapon
and cried out that he was unarmed. One of
Boyle's friends caught his arm, and thus the
matter ended. ---------

ELopExENr IN ILLYols.-Edward Knock, an
individual whom the good citizens of the town
Of Adsline had elevated to the dignifed and
honorable position of Squire, last week eloped
with milliner and mantua-maker, who had
been boarding for some time at said Knocks
house. Knock is married man and has left
his wife to reflect upon the sad misfortune she
encountered when she joined herself, "for
better or worse," to such a villain. We are
informed that the "frail creature" with whom
Knock eloped, halls from Rockford, and is,
very probably, tho "grass widow" whom Knock
was 90 attentive to in tho early part of summer.
At any rate, the event we notice appears to be
the legitimate offspring of his clandestns ad-
ventures in Rockford. But the scandal Of this
matter is scarcely its worst feature. Knock
has taken along with him, besides very good
for-nothing woman, some very good money
report says that about $1,000, for which his
security must answer, as 1t was money which
came in his possession by virtue of his office.
