COM PARATIVE STRENGTH OF THE :dEN OF AMERICA AND EUROPE. Congress, having had its fortnight's Christmas recreation, has re-assembled for business, which 'it has already set about in good earnest. The first p ro minent discussion has been on a bill b roug ht i n or appropriating five millions of dollars (about a million pounds sterling) in the liquidation of claim s for Fr enc h spol iatiorts, Then a very delicate ques tion was introduCedthat of the slave trade, with reference to which the recent correspondence Minister the B r iti s h G overnme nt an d th e A mer i can mister in London was, by a resolution, requested to be produced —a correspondence which, it is said, will develop° some facts and circumstances not verl creditable to the American flag. The Pension Bill, which has already got through one of the two Houses of the Congress, has excited - a great- deal of dissatisfaction among e epectable: and. disinterested people, as being a job °l' What is called " th e l o bb y ,"-that is those, as' the 2 ‘, 7- • Y. Herald ca ll s th em , " vu lt ures t h at i n f est the hall s o f C ongress. " It is they who, . according ° this authority, have got up a measure which, if consummated, will enrich them beyond any thing they could have conceived possible; and will sa ddle the national treasury with an increased annual expenditure Of from ten to twenty millions of dollars," a scheme " covered up in the guise of a hill granting pensions to the surviving officers and Soldiers of the war of 1812, and their widows, -and to those who served in the Indian wars during or 'Preceding that period." And it is further declared of it that, "notwithstanding it is a plundering scheme, concocted between the lobby and such Members of the House as fall into their plans, the thing has been gravely represented as an act . of ,tustice to the survivors of our - last warwith Great Britain, and any amount of balderdash was g oi off by orators of the hifalutin order, in depicting the sorrows and sufferings of the war-worn veterans ' designed to be beneficiaries under the act." Such being the case, it is not inaptly described as " a grand swoop of the lobby' upon the national treasury." And the same influential and popular journal does not hesitate still more indignantly to say of it—" we have no doubt that the bulk of those whose interests are ostensibly promoted by the bill, will join with the people of the country at large, in denouncing it as wrong in principle, injurious in practice, and, to a certain extent, humiliating to the patriots of 1812 ;" and to pro ceed to stigmatize it as "a dodge for robbing the treasury which has not even the semblance of con sistency or fair play about it ; for while it provides for the soldiers and marines who had little or no fighting to do, it makes no provision for the gal lant sailors who had fighting to do, and who did it well." Altogether, then, it is not a measure that is by any means free from the taint of jobbery; and yet it appears that it actually secured a vote of two-thirds of the members of the House (122 to 61), from an idea, it is said, that prevailed among them, that if they voted according to their con sciences in th e matter, they would incur a certain be e mo it unt of unpop u larity in their distri c t s It was , remembered, in the people's own House that this occurred. The opinion of all impartial 'per -8"s is, that these popularity-loving patriots, after all' hav e ma d e a great m i stake. b he question of the annexation of Cuba has position s ,sereon brought before Congress in a practical shape. »zillion ni.'7 have been made to appropriate thirty quite Bl B a r , ollars or f the purpose of purchasing ind from Spain. These propositions are n accordance with the recommendations NCO,entained in the President's message; but it is thrY uncertain that ther will be adopted. And if '3 7 were' what would be the use of it ? Spain 11Itsreaalrtienagdyirteiterated her indignation at the idea as an insult ; and the Cubans themselves are indignant at the thought of being asnoldd, like th e stock of a deer park, to a stranger , a a fore igner - strange and foreign in race, in Iguage, in religion, and in laws. . r The last year's acco un t o f th e immigration to and is not quite satisfactory to the American, na w r n s a t tever it may be to the E uro p e a n m i n d. I n th e place, it is as cer t a i ne d, on ca l cu l a ti ng th e umber of passengers conveyed by steam-ships be ,lveen the European and American ports, that whilst the arrivals here have diminished about eight thousand, as compared with 1857, the depar- Pres have increased about three. This, of itself, significant. It is stated, I see, that it is a fact hiCh " would go to show that whilst the depres len resulti ng from the panic has to a certain patent discoura ge d i mm i grat i on to t hi s country, i t had a precisely contrary effect on outward travel. Many of the Irish and German operatives 'who h ad succeeded in laying by a little money no deu,bt availed themselves of the forced leisure whteh the stagnation of business afforded them visit their relatives and friends abroad. ' 4le same may be said of the wealthier class of business men, who, finding that their presence here could be productive of no advantage, took the opportunity of spending a few months in Europe. These are the probable causes of the increase in the number of steamer passengers from our ports, at a time when the general dulness of trade and the scarcity of money led people to anticipate a different result." But there is no very conclusive reasoning in this. There is no doubt, I believe, that the increase in the depar tures from the States is occasioned by Europeans going home under an impression that they can do better there. And the decrease in arrivals may also be attributed to a similar cause. As respects the decrease of the general immi gration of the masses which has taken place, it is found to have amounted in the last year to 103,656, as compared with the year 1857. Some of the knowing ones are attributing it also to the late panic. But lam inclined to agree in part with another exponent of the case, who says : " continued drain of population cannot occur in any country without a sudden check being at times opposed to it. If the supply of labour be diminished, the prices paid for it will materially increase, and this will in itself stop the efflux of population. Ireland, from whence so lair a proportion of our emigrants are drawn, has, as it is well known, arrived at a point where her labourers can scarcely suffice to the wants of her own agri culture. With the high premiums offered by the English farmers during the harvest time to Irish reapers, there are periods when the Irish agriculturist finds extreme difficulty in getting hands to save his crops. The effect of all this has been to force wages up to a standard nearly as high as our own, and consequently to remove the main inducement to emigration. The same influ ences are, we believe, at work in Germany, though of course not to so great an extent. Labour all over the Continent, as well as in Great Britain, finds at present a higher rate of remuneration than at any period within the last quarter of a century." Besides all this, there is not that chance of immediate success in the American fields of labour that there used to be ; the fact of Pauperism being on the increase is an element of the case riot to be overlooked. There is one thing, however, that does not decrease—that is crime. The New York papers state that the New Year's festival in this city was l e gs than by a n u nusual degree of violence. No teBB than three murders were committed, together with a nu m b er o f s t a bbi ng cases. Then there is the criminal r ecor d w hi c h the term of the Court General Sessions, just closed, has furnished, a hich one o f th e daily journals but too truly calls th heavy array of crimes of a grievous charact er, t h e frec tu.eney for of which argues badly condition of the city." But the same Journ ah • st thinks there is h in the fact of the ho Offenders I • severely laving been justly, and theretuTe v 'k With on this o ccasionb the J dge wilt; tried theme, • the severity of the sentences passed 011 prisoners convicted of grave crimesth, 'ring the late term, .he observes, " convitce the rowdies " and ruffians who int 4 this et , nimunit that the law is not to be violated, their Y own' wild pas sions indul with impunity, while he occupies a seat upon the be nc h o f t h e cr i m i na l court. Tlie crimes Most, 'prevalent at the present day seem to be burglary, and stabbing with the knife, and upon all the prisoners convicted of those offenees Judge Russell inflicted the, heaviest punishment ":--justly adding that " the leniency which has been so lono- exercised towards cri minals has unquestionably emboldened that class, and impressed them with the idea that the law and the forms of our courts were mere mockeries." And so they frequently have been. And so, it is to be feared, they will be again, so long as the judge and jury system remains in its present state,—exposed continually to all sorts of corrupt ing and justice-defeatino- influences. There is a great deal, however, in example ; and the frauds which are being constantly committed in official . situations are crimes, the successful per petration of which has a very baneful effect. It appears that the very last New. York Grand Jury, before concluding their labours, indicted several officials and late officials in the Street Department and Bureau of Assessments—the same parties who were before informally and unsuccessfully indicted On charges of fraud committed in the performance of their public dutieS. And, with reference to their case, the New York Herald remarksT" there 1- is no doubt that plenty of grounds exist to . find indictments against these individuals, and there is as little doubt that foundation can be had for indictments against the majority of the Common Council and Corporation officials, for the past five or six years, in which period some fifteen millions of the public money have been stolen ; and if all the facts necessary to produce a conviction could be pre sented in these 'cases, it would'be a good thing to press them on." Most certainly it would, if only - as an example. But as the delinquent parties are great and popular politicians, there would, after - all, be considerable difficulty in doing full and exemplary justice. A great push is now making to complete the line of railroad between Chicago and New Orleans, . which will secure a continuous route by rail and boat from New York to that southern capital. There are lines now open from New York to Chicago, the distance being about 1,000 Miles ; and from Chicago to 'New Orleans is . nearly another - 1,000 miles. The route from Chicago consists of several lines, which will make connections as follows :—The Illinois Central, from Chicago to Cairo ; steamboat on the Migsissippi to Columbus, a little town in Kentucky, twenty miles from Cairo ; The Mobile and Ohio Railroad, from Columbus, Ky., to Jackson, Madison county, Tennessee ; Mississippi Central and Tennessee Railroad, from Jackson to a point in Tennessee called " Grand Junction," on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, fifty-two miles east of Memphis ; the Mississippi Central Railroad, from the Junction to Canton, Mississippi ; and lastly, the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad from Canton to New Orleans. The only uncompleted portion of this route is a distance of seventy miles, on one portion of the Miisissippi Central road. This seventy miles is already graded, the ties, trestle work, and bridges are progressing favourably', and the iron for the track is purchased, and is to 'be on the ground before the first of July next, The, whole will probably be completed before the Ist of 'December, '1859. At present . a line of excellent stage coaches run over the seventy miles. When all the railroad work . is finished, .the whole journey from New. York to New Orleans will be performed in four days. The amount of transit and business traffic cannot then fail to be . immensely increased It will be the longest railroad route in any one country in the world. A curious movement, in connection with phy sical science, is now being set on foot in the States. Its object is to ascertain the comparative animal strength, size, and proportions of the men of America and Europe respectively. The Academy of National Sciences at Philadelphia have taken the police force as a fair representative class of men, and a set of scientific tests have been pro vided, by which their strength and general phy sical condition can be ascertained. Inquiries will be directed to the following points : age, birth place, birth-place of parents, weight, height, complexion, size of limbs, dimensions of chest, strength of lungs, size and developments of the head, &c. AMERICA. The Royal Mail steamer America arrived here yesterday afternoon,with 70 passengers and $68,054 in specie on freight. The Africa had arrived at New York, as also the screw-steamer Glasgow, from Glasgow, and the North American, from Liverpool and Halifax at Portland. The City of Manchester had reached New York. The news is of an interesting description. A bill had been introduced in the Senate for an appropriation to facilitate the acquisition of the Island of Cuba by negotiation. The bill says— Whereas, Cuba, geographically, possesses a command ing influence over the large and annually increasing trade, foreign and coastwise, of the Mississippi Valley ; Whereas, The island, in its present colonial condition, must continue a source of injury and annoyance, endanger ing the friendly relations between Spain and the United States by the aggressions of its local authority upon Ame rican commerce and citizens, for which tardy redress can only be had by circuitous demands on Spain ; and Whereas, In the opinion of Congress, and in accordance with the views of the President, as the best means of settling the existing, and removing further difficulties, it is expedient that negotiations for the purchase of the island should be renewed; therefore Be it enacted, 4.c., That thirty million of dollars be placed in the President's hands for expenditure, either from cash in the treasury, or borrowed on five per cent bonds of 1,000 dollars each, redeemable in from twelve to twenty years. The House of Representatives, on the 11 th inst., took up the resolution, reported at the last session from the committee of Foreign Affairs, disapprov- Wof the act of Com. Pa u ldi ng i n th e se i zure o f Walker and his followers, but inasmuch as the view of the President is in accordance with this position, the Committee think no action necessary. Several amendments thereto pending, one pre senting the thanks of Congress to Com. Paulding and his officers ; a second, that Paulding's act, being without authority of law, meets with the condemnation of . the House ; and a third, asserting the right of our citizens to expatriate themselves to help their neighbours struggling for freedom, a right of which they cannot be constitutionally deprived. _ The French spoliation bill had passed in the Senate by a vote of 26 to 20, and in the House of Representatives, a resolution was adopted request ing the President to communicate the corres pondence which has passed between our government and France and England relative to the cession of Cuba. The Indian appropriation bill was considered in committee, and passed in the house. Intelligence has been received from Jefferson City that the constitutional amendment limiting the Missouri State debt to $30,000,000 will not probably be adopted, but that it is more likely the Legislature will grant some $5,000,000 additional aid to the railroads by the further issue of State bonds. The rumours of a revolution in the island of Cuba, which were circulated, prove to have ori ginated from the fact that a few Americans were induced to go there by false representations to work on a railroad. The schooner Julia M. Hal lock, which arrived at New York on the Bth inst., brought back 32 of them, and the barque Ella brought 60 more. Both parties are very destitute, and a suit will be brought against the company for the losses they have suoktined in consequence of the non-fulfilment of the eentract under which they were induced to go. A despatch from St. Louis, doted the Bth inst., says: The Kansas Legislature has adjourned to Lawrence, with the sanction of the Governor. The committee on contested seats reported in favour of Lewis, Graham, Advices from Fraser's River are more favourable, but weather inclement. Provisions scarce and high. The Governor had issued a proclamation, authorising a duty of three per cent. on merchan dise of British Columbia, but declaring Victoria a free port, and allowing goods for Vancouver's Island free. Real estate at Victoria thriving rapidly. Foreigners to be protected in their rights of possession for three years.

The report of the commissioner appointed to audit claims, shows the amount presented to be upwards of $301,000; and the amount awarded $254,000, of which $39,000 are of a public class, and $215,000 of a private nature. The Comptroller reports the taxable property of the territory at $25,000,000. and the number of acres of land sold and pre-empted at about $3,000,000. The Go4ernor strongly reprehends the conduct in Linn and Bourbon counties, and says he is prepared to unite with the Assembly in the most cordial manner for the adoption of such measures as shall restore order, and will bring to their aid all the power placed at his discretion by the Executive Several papers in Southern Nebraska say that public sentiment there is almost unanimous in favour of annexation to Kanzas. We have received Vera Cruz dates of the 30th ult., The advices furnish further details of Mexican affairs. The overthrow of Zuloaga, by General Robles, occurred on the 23rd. General Echeagary, of Zuloaga's forces, had previously pronounced in favour of Robles, and the Constitu tionalists at Jalapa and Cordova had also joined him. Zuloaga declared the capital to be in a state of siege, and tried at first to comproinise with Echeagary. He failed, however, but subsequently defeated, captured, and sentenced him to death at Puebla. A revolt, which occurred in Mexico, saved Echeagary's life, and Robles subsequently released all political prisoners. It was supposed Juarez would now be placed at the head of the government, There was great rejoicings at Vera Cruz. Much satisfaction has been expressed by all parties, including the Liberals, at the tone of Mr. Buchanan's message with regard `to Mexico. We have San Francisco dates of the 20th Dec., but the news is unimportant. Business at San Francisco was dull. Both the Apache and Camache Indians were committing depredations on the mail stations, in consequence of which the government animals were obliged to be used to carry the mail some distance. Mexicans are also suspected of stealing mules from the mail stations. to 10 50; - prime mess 16 to 18.

COMM ERCIAI NEW YORK, January 11.—The weekly statement of the• New York city banks, of their average condition for the week ending Jan. 8, shows, as compared with the returns for the preceding week, an increase of $954,323 in loan's, 52,142,429 in net deposits, $1,270,893 in specie, and $76,202 in circulation.

A more active demand had set in, and prices were in favour of sellers. The same news had also a stimulating effect at the South, which caused increased activity here, enabling holders to obtain au advance of ic., Middling Upland being worth 121-c. Since the North American's news, •however, business has again become very quiet, and the advance is lost. Yesterday the market was depressed under the Africa's advices, with sales of 1,000 bales, on the basis of 12c. for Middling Upland. The sales of the week amount to 10,000 bales, of which about 3,000 ill transitu, on the basis of 11-ic. for Middling New Orleans, with idfreight. SOUTHERN Minims A moderate business is reported at the South during the week, by mail, without any material change in prices. The receipts had been unusually heavy, which, together with dull news from Liverpool, caused buyers to look for lower prices, and business had consequently been somewhat restricted at the opening of the week ; a slight concession, h owever , brought in buyers, and a fair business was subsequently done. By telegraph, a 'week later, we are advised of increased activity at New Orleans and Mobile, caused partly by a slight falling off in the receipts, but chiefly by the more favourable advices from Europe, per America, which had stimulated business in the early part of the week, and led to an advance of He to lc, with large sales for several days. Later news from • Liverpool, per North American, being again adverse to holders, however, the markets became irregular, and most of the advance was lost. The week's sales at New Orleans amount to 59,000 bales," against receipts of. 63,000, the market closing irregularly at about 11ic. for Middling, while at Mobile 26,000 bales had changed hands, and that market had closed quietly at 111-c. for Middling. At Charleston and Savannah, there has been less fluctua tion, and prices are Vrithout material change, though the markets are rather unsettled at the close. We have not vet learned the effect of the Africa's news at the South. Freights have been unchanged during the week, while sterling exchange has rather a downward tendency. RECEIPTS : There is generally a tendency to smaller receipts at the ports at this season on account of holidays on the plantations, and this year has not been an exception to the rule. At New Orleans and Mobile jointly, the week's receipts, by mail advices, amonnted to 116,000 bales. For the past week, (by telegraph,) they are reduced to 94,000. This, however, compares with 51,000 bales in the corresponding week last year, so that the excess in the relative figures, continues to increase It now amounts to 777,000, by mail dates, and next week it will be about 810,000 bales. The tributary rivers are all now freely navigable. EXPORTS : The exports to Great Britain this week has been rather smaller than for some weeks past. From all ports they amount to 45,000 bales against 58,000, 47,000, and 70,000 bales in the three respective preceding weeks; and next week they will sum up smaller still, as we learn that only 13,000 bales had cleared from New Orleans and Mobile jointly for the succeeding week (by telegraph), against 27,000 the previous week. The total exports to Great Britain amount to 580,000 bales against 360,000 last year, and 529,000 in 1855-6. There arc now but 78 vessels loading for Great Britain from the Southern ports, against 75 at the same time last year. France has taken a very largo excess upon any previous year, but the shipments thither are now falling off. The total is now 265,000 against 131,000 last year, but during the past week only 15,000 .against 20,000 last year ; and there are now but 17 vessels loading at the South for French ports, against 33 at the corresponding date last year, which points to a decrease of fifty per cent. in the shipments for several weeks to come. For other foreign markets the clear ances have been large ; 24,000 bales during the week and 156,000 since Ist September, against 93,000 last year, while the number of vessels loading at the South for " other foreign ports" is 59, against 34 last year, pointing to a continued large export to continental ports other than French. Freights arc unchanged during the week. The number of ships and barques in port and expected at New Orleans is 266, against 299 at the same time last year, of which 123 are now loading to various parts of the world, against 108 last year. At Mobile there are 64 in port against 66 last year, of which 42 are already loading, against 29 last year. This comparison would indicate that freights should bo at least supported for some time to come ' and any activity i n s h ipments to Great Britain would no doubt cause an advance. Crop : There is nothing very new on thi s su bj ec t . Th e favourite estimate is still 3,600,000 bales, this week's decline in receipts not appearing to affect the question. PRICES : The market still maintains almost a uniform degree of firmness, the advance caused by the stronger Liverpool accounts last week, or decline by the weaker ones this week, being alike slight and partial. On the whole, quotations are about where they were a fortnight since. This will probably be the case for some weeks to come. The large receipts have of course a tendency to depress the market, but the encouraging accounts of the progress of manufacturers everywhere added to the cheapness of money and general confidence in the article at present prices, prevent a material decline. At the same time the absence of any great number of E ng li s h orders at even present rates, (still less at an advance upon them,) checks for the present any attempt on the part of holders to raise prices.

PARIS, Monday., The Moniteur of this morning contains the following : The intimate relations which have for a long time existed between the Emperor of the French and the King of Sardinia, and the mutual interests of France and Piedmont, have induced the sovereigns of the two countries to cit'aw closer, by a family alliance ? the ties which unite then. For More thail a year tieg,ociations with this object in view have been carried on,. but the youth of the Princess delayed the fixing of the mar riage until now. Yesterday, General .Niel officially de manded the hand of the Princess Clotilda in marriage with Prince Napoleon. The King gave his consent, and the ceremony will shortly take place at Turin. The Union reproduces the statement of the Independance Beige, alleging that the King of Piedmont had only consented to this match on condition of a treaty offensive and defensive being signed between France and Sardinia. The lifoniteur declares this allegation not less false than injurious to the dignity of both Sovereigns. The Emperor must desire his family alliances to be in harmony with the great traditional policy of France, but he will never make the great interests of the country depend upon a family alliance. SARDINIA TURIN, Jan. 23, At noon to-day, after mass in the Cathedral was over, General Niel, in the name of the Emperor of the French, demanded from the King the hand of the Princess Clotilda in marriage with Prince Napoleon. All the great officers and dignitaries of the State were present. This evening a gala representation will take place in the theatre. The King, Prince Napoleon, and the whole of the family will be present. __ A aeputation - of the Chambers has presented the address in reply to the Royal speech on the opening of the session. TURKEY.

WRIGHT'S NEW YORK COTTON CIRCULAR, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—By the Africa, yesterday, I was favOured with numerous anonymous letters from Liverpool, commenting in no very favourable manner upon my cotton circular, bearing date ith December, 1858. Will you oblige me by publishing my acknowledgment of these favours, the handwriting of some of which has been identified, and convey to the writers my best thanks, with the suggestion that, if they should be hereafter inclined to repeat the kindness, they will oblige me by prepaying the postage.—Yours, &c., WILLIAM R. WRIGIIT. New York, January 11th, 1859. In Paris there is much talk about the forthcoming drama of Alexandre Dumas the son. This is, it is said, to be entitled " Le Pere Prodigue," and those who have received communication of parts of the plot and of the dialogue, say that it will be next to impossible the piece should be performed to the end, for that there are parts of it that will shock even a Parisian audience. A St. Petersburgh journal has an article by which the public is informed of a . great literary treasure now in possession of the Imperial Library at St. Petersburgh. It contains nothing less than the records of the Bastille, which were saved by a Russian who was attached to the Russian embassy at the Court of Versailles as translator. The following are the contents : —Royal lettres de catchet; ordinances of the ministers • letters of the ministers to the officers of the Bastille ; notices and reports of the police spies in reference to the prisoners ; confiscated poems and prose works ; poems and writings in prose, written in the Bastille ; and, lastly, the records of that formidable and hated prison. _ ETE.AORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is nothing that housewives complain of with greater truth fulness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordidary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby .It is a cement that may be said to heal, in a perfect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articles spoken of; and not only in these, but in mar ble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbours, > and the glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselv es, b y looking in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E. T. Hall, 23, South John-street. Sold in bottles, is, each, or sent free on receipt of xtesien postage stamps. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, - Monday Evening The Sales of Cotton to-day were 8,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation and for export, at about previous prices. The market remains very firm but quiet. There is no material alteration to notice in the Liverpool Share Market. To-day a moderate business was transacted, and in some instances at rather higher rates. The following are the sales reported :-Blackburn, 111 ; Caledonian, 851, 853, 86 ; Chester and Holyhead, 48 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 971; London and North Western, 964, 961, 961, 961, 964 ' 96a, 961 ; Midland, 1021, 103, 1021 ; North British, 62 ; Dover's, 22 5-16 ; Warrington and Stockport, 81; Dutch Rhenish, 41 d : Great Luxembourg, 7 1-16: Great Western of Canada, new, 4 1-16 d. The following were the clos ing prices: - Blackburn, 111, 111 ; Chester and Birkenhead,. 661, 67 ; Caledonian, 864, 861 ; Chester and Holyhead, 48, 481; Eastern Counties, 121, 12 9-16 ; East Lancashire, 954, 96 ; bo. £9 shares, 1,. 2. p; Great Northern, 104, 106; • Do.

New Shares, 41, 4 d ; Great Luxembourg, 7, 7 1-16 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 8%, x bonds, 81. Business at the London Stock Exchange continues in a very quiet state. A feeling of — uncertainty with regard to continental politics still appears to restrain speculation. Some animation, however, is imparted to the market by purchases for invest ment, the public having come forward, since the re-opening of the transfer books, more freely than had been anticipated. The quantity of stock thus absorbed has diminished the supply to such an extent that an actual scarcity is now re ported, and this circumstance alone has intimi dated the operators for a fall, and assisted in maintaining values. Although the fluctuations on the Bourse produce a sympathetic mov€ment here, it must be admitted that the English Funds are supported at a satisfactory point, and it should not be forgotten that they are still 27+ per cent. hfgher than the 3 per Cent. Rentes. Notwithstanding the continued paucity of speculative business, and the gloom which appears to pervade the various markets, there is now less apprehension in reference to the position of affairs in the South of Europe, and the impression still prevails that some official announcement will shortly be published which will have the salutary effect of restoring pub . lie confidence. With the exception of the in certitude lately engendered, there is really nothing to interfere with the favourable pro gress of business. Monetary prospects, in spite of the loans which seem to be expected on behalf of the Indian . authorities and seve sal foreign States, are highly auspicious, and, with regard to trade, the mercan tile community are unanimous in predicting a steady return of prosperity which shall satisfy the merchant and manufacturer, and diminish the complaints of the shipping interest. A speedy settlement of the Italian dispute between France and Austria, and an assurance that the peace of Europe is not likely to be disturbed, arc therefore earnestly desired among all classes of society; and it encouraging to find that the idea is gaining ground that successful negoeiations will arrest the calamity of war. The Funds have improved per cent., and' a better feeling prevails. Consols are 951, 951. The New Threes and Reduced are 961, 961. Long Annuities, 181. New 21 per Cents., 791; and Exchequer Bills, 38s to 41s premium. Bank Stock is 228 ; and India, ditto, 2211. Foreign Securities arc rather quiet, and prices steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 91, 911; ditto Scrip, Ist issue, 80, 81 ; ditto 2nd issue, 41, 41 dis. ; ditto 4 per Cents., 1054-. Sardinian are 851, 861. Spanish 3 per Cents., 45, 451 ; ditto Deferred, 304 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents., 101. Chiliau Loan is 2to 1 dis. A very limited business ha s b een t ransacte d i n the London Railway Share Market, and with the exception of Caledonian Shares, there has been little variation of importance to record in prices, the average variation not exceeding 1 to 1 per cent, Caledonians have been rather largely dealt in at 86 to 861. Great Northerns have improved to 1051. Lancashire and Yorkshire to 971, 97.1 ; and Midlands to 1021,1021. North British have receded to 614, 611. North Eastern, Berwick, 931 ; and Eastern Counties to 621-, 621. North Western, South Western, and South Eastern brought about former quotations. The Foreign lines have ex hibited very little variation. Great Luxembourg have receded to 61, 7 ; Sambre and Meuse are 7' • and Lombardo-Venetian 91. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares aro very quiet, and show little variation from previous rates. London and. Westminster are 49?- 3. ; Ottoman Bank, 201 ; Aus tralian Agricultural are 351; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 824. By the America, which arrived here this after noon, we learn that the sales of C o tt on i n N ew York, for the week ending January 11, were about 12,000 bales. In the earlier part of the week, prices had advanced 4-c per lb, but at the close this had been lost, and the market became dull, sales being on the basis of 12c for middling. The Southern markets had also fluctuated ; and although the sales in New Orleans were large, nearly 60,000 bales, prices left off rather lower, say 111-e for middling. At Mobile, middling was quoted at 111 c. The receipts at the Southern ports had not been so large, only 94,000 bales against 116,000 bales the preceding week. There was, how ever, an excess of 777,000 bales compared with last year, of 318,000 bales on 1857, and of 296,000 bales in 1856. The exports to Great Britain were smaller. The number of vessels loading at the Southern ports fo r G rea t B r i ta i n was 78 against 75 same . period last year. Th ere seems t o b e no change m the crop estimates ; they are still fixed at about 3,600,000 bales. Private advices from St. John, N. 8., state that the only vessel which left that port for Liverpool, laden with timber, during the fortnight ending January Bth, was the Bercaldine, on the 4th of January, with the following cargo :-238,000 feet Deals, 755 feet Deal ends, 21,161 feet Scantling, 10,000 Paling, 4 Cords Lathwood, and 24 Spars. The stock of Sugar in Liverpool on Saturday last was 26,244 tons, including 9,455 B.P, against 22,107 tons, including 12,542 B.P, corresponding period last year. The stock of tea is 4,912,690 lbs, against 8,204,520 lbs last year. The 10th, 11th, and 12th catalogues of Colonial and Foreign Wool were offered for competition this afternoon, at four o'clock—total 2,283 bales, comprising 677 bales Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co., ; 606 Mr. Malcolm Grcame ; and 1,000 Messrs. Buchanan, Browne and Co.—in all there were 2,173 bales East India from Bombay, every bag of which sold with spirit, at very satisfactory prices. Messrs. Buchanan, Browne and Co., obtained the highest prices of the series, 161 d, say M.R.j., Double F., Double W., with others 141 d. to 161 d. The attendance continues good, and the biddings animated throughout. Messrs. T. and H. Littl e .. dale and Co. follow to-morrow (Tuesday), with 2,000 bales East India from Bombay.
