Liuepool Market. The following extracts are
taken from Messrs. E. Musgrove s. Co.'s Cotton
Circular of the soth ult:
Cotton has been in fair demand, but freely
offered throughout the week; the tendency to in.
Icreased frmness manifested on Friday, was checked
by adyices to the 18th instant per Scotia of large
receipts at the American ports, and the market
closes quietly upon the announcement to-day OF
\ the advance of the Bank rate to per cent.
l For Sea Island there has been good inquiry,
at previous rates. 5.S a 81. 4
American continues in demand, but the recent
imports are placed freely upon the market, and
prices have given way fully d. per lb. !,
Eerate throughout the week, and the latest quota
tons were this day, for American bales middling
at sea, from Charleston, 204d. per ID.
The sales Of the week four days. amount to

1880 declared for export leaving 5000 bales to

i The BRITISH AND AMERICAN STEAM LINE.-We
are very glad to chronicle the fact that the neces
4 sites of commerce between New Orleans and
Liverpool have justified the British and American
4 Company IN dispatching q steamer once week
i from each port. In accordance with this new ar
rangement, the Gambia left Liverpool on the 10th,
the Florida on the 18th, and the Bolivian on the
24th-an interval one week between the sailing Of
! each ship. The same interval will occur here and
the consequence will be regular and reliable
weekly communication between the chief CONNER
cia city of England and the chief commercial city
of the Southern States of this country, subscribing
the interests of both trade and travel and enabling
US to avoid the factorage and commission charges
which the receipt of goods through Northern cities
| has heretofore thrown upon us. 1--WE
We congratulate not only our commercial com
munity, but the people Of this city generally, and
of the country Of which this city is the business
center, upon the establishment of this line and the
facilities of weekly communication with Europe.
We need no longer pay commissions to Northern
merchants on our trans Atlantic business We can
ship our cotton direct to Europe, and import what
ever we want without the Intervention of third
parties For all particulars of ships, days Of sail
ing etc. we refer to the advertisement of Messrs.
VIM. Hunter & Co., the New Orleans agents of the
line, No. Al Carondelet street.

Mr.. r. MILLIKEN, SUGAR AND MoLAssEs BROKER.
The old New Orleans dealers will be grati6ed to
find noticein our advertising columns announcing
| that Mr.. Milliken has resumed business sugar
and molasses broker and commission merchant.
| In former times when the E sugar platform y was
! agreat feature of the commerce of New Orleans,
Mr. Milliken was known as one of the leading
spirits of that great mart, where by his punctual
attention to business his strict integrity and ur-
banity Of manner, he had for upwards of a quarter
of a century attracted to himself extensive deal
! ing and commanded an enyiable reputation. We
but echo the wish of all who know Dick MiIliken,
! in bespeaking for him renewed flood of pros
perity
I GRAND MASONIC BALL AT SUMMIT.---A magnifi-5
cent ball is to be given at Summit, Miss, on the
L
init Lodge No. 23l. On the 24th of December
last the beautiful structure which had been erected
by the Masons Of that town, and dedicated to the
service Of God and the Holy Saint John, was des-
troyed by means Of the torch Of an incendiary.
Since that time the Masonic fraternity of that dis
| trict have had no temple in which to celebrate
their rites and it is with view to aid them in
rebuilding their structure that this ball is to be
| given
The Jackson cars run right to Summit, taking
| passengers from the city and landing them there
! in few hours. The return train will bring such
as wish to return Immediately, back to the city
| the following night and we believe every COM
fort and facility will be furnished by the railroad
authorities.
| The jaunt will prove pleasant one, and the
beauty Of that portion of Mississippi will be in
4 attendance at the ball.
We acknowledge receipt Of complimentary
1 tickets.
4 THE FIREMEN's SANSIyERsARY.-It may have
escaped the notice Of our gallant fremen that the
fourth of March occurs on Sunday this year. We
do not suppose they have any wish to encroacl
upon that day for the celebration of their annual
4 festvity, but would willingly anticipate or post
pone the day, as may be most convenient to them
i We throw out this suggestion in advance of the
i time because, as most of our yearly holidays have
i occurred on week day this winter, our fire boys
may labor under the impression that the Fourth o.
! March will be on week day also. One of thu
4 most pleasant features Of the celebration is til,
| enjoyment ut the balls which usually take plac,
Ill the evening of the turnout; and for this, if fo
Do other reason, we hope the celebration will b.
/ changed to either the Sd or the 9th.
