MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. - ' - ' 1777171.- LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening. r The Cotton Market was rather firmer to-Jay. and a fair amount of business done. The sales were estimated at 10.000 bales, of which 2 000 were on speculation and for export. The demand through out the week has been very brisk, both from the trade and speculators, and the current qualities of American have advanced to 3-16 per lb. Brazil and Egyptian are also quoted at au advance of as are also Surats, in which a large business was %ransacted. The week's transactions foot up 77,510 bales, of which speculators took 17 060, and ex porters F,500, leaving the balance, 53,659 bales, to the trade. The import during the same period reached 27,195 bales, thereby leaving the estimated stock this evening, at 436.410 bales, of all descrip tions, again3t 775,700 at same period last year At present the price of fair Cotton is quoted at 'ell for Bowed, fill for Mobile, and 9 f for New Orleans. Messrs. Wright, jun , and Co., in their circular, issued for the sailing of the Asia to -day, zem ark as follows : At the time of the America's deratcre on the 1411 inst. a latter feeling was beginning to manifest itse f in our Cotton Market which was stimulated into animation with the receipt of later adviess from New York on Monday, - reporting indifferent accounts of the prospects of the grow ing crop, and which caused many withdrawals of samples. A more flattering representation of the last received Indian advises, when theletter3 came to hand, also inspired con fidence, and had a favourable influence upon the public funds, tending else to allay a growing apprehension far the course of money matters; thcs imparting an improved aspect to trade in the manufacturing districts. Seeing the slight hope of early imports of the raw material to any extent, and the sensible reduction in the stock on hand, spinners came forward in force, and we have daily expe rienced a large demand, including heavy transactions in Sprats and parcels to arrive, in which speculators and exporters have freely participated, prices gradually hardening, until to day an advance of 1 per lb on last Friday's - quotations is fully esrablishen on all classes of American and other descriptions generally, and holders are indifferent sellers except at very extreme rates. The present features of the trade are so widely at variance with all precedent, that future derelopements can alone deter mine the probiele course cf prices, but so far the advance obtained seems legitimate, and not likely to be productive of evil consequences, and it is equally clear that a high standard must prevail to induce an early supply adequate o requiseeeenee. Our Glas.eow advices inform us that the stock of Cotton held in that a-market being so much reduced, holders have been enabled to advance their prices nearlyl.l. per lb. this week. A fair amount of business has been done at the above advance. Middling Orleans worth to-clay Std. per Whilst on this subject we may mew ion that, a few days ago, a memorial was presented by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce to Lord Pal meraton, urging upon him the importance of extending such encouragement to Mr. Bourne's propo-sallor navigating the Indian rivers as would enable the cotton grown in the interior to be transported to the coast with adequate facility and at a moderate experse. e The East India Co ienm pany has n ow. consented to giv to Ortal Inland Steam,Company, which has been formed in London to carry this method of navigation into practical effect, a yearly grant of money to assist in carrying out the undertaking, and which grant will, it le-stated, of itself return a good per centage yearly upon .the capital which the Company under takes to expend. This concession is a much more favourable one than any which has been granted to the railways, but the necessity of adding to our supplies of -cotton ftom India was felt to be so urgent, and the establishment of this method of navigation was felt to be so necessary to the ac complishment of the object in view, that it was felt to be proper-at once to concede such terms as would be sure to enlist wide and enthusiastic public support. 'By the terms which have been granted it appears that the shareholders in the Navigation Company are insured 10 per cent upon their investments, and the profits may be much larger than this. The Liverpool Share Market was rather quiet to-day. The business transacted was limited, without any change in prices, except that Caledo niane are again hieher.

No .Zoubt both the Money and Stock Xarkets are new depending, fta their future course, upon the next advices from India.

The conclusion that Mr. Gregory comes to is, that with some short comings made good, the Grand Trunk will be ' the cheapest and best eonetructed line in Canada or the United States. Mr. Gregory Evidently prefers the engines built in the United e tales or Canada ; to those sent from Birkenhead in some TM 'ORTHERN respects, but b e does not give the respective cost of the engines . The permanent character of the important bria 'gee on the Grand Trunk, will be productive o f great saving over the wooden bridges erect ed on other Canadian and American railways. A dditianal traffic in engine accommo dation is re quired. The Trois Pistolea extension is condense d, as only wanted in connection with the origina 1 inter-colonial system of railway run ning throe gh British territory to the seabord at St. Johns. Tl:e.e completion of Clete Victoria Bridge at Montreal, by uniting the several portions, will remedy a detect which opposes -a serious obstacle to the development of through traffic. Connec tions at 'Prescott and Kingston require to be made, as also rit Montreal and Quebec ; at the latter it is well kncnvn that the railway is on the south side of the port , without wharves for shipping to moor at, they co . nsaquently discharge and load at the north side, at id the whole car oes of upwards of 330 sail of ship s, which had arrived up to the latest advices, have heen forwarded by water up to Montreal. These wants, long pointed out by practical men, are otily briefly alluded to by Mr. Gregory, as his inquiley related solely, as it appears, to the fulfil ment of the contracts. Mr. Blackwell, who is appoire'Led to a seat at the Canadian board to repre sent I.le English shareholders and directors, will, with_ the general manager, no doubt take steps to sup ply the appliances necessary to secure the fair sha re of the enormous - through traffic which exists in goocls ; in the meantime, the officials of the corn pzary, both in Canada and London, have loss no time in organizing a very perfect system of through booking for nasseitere, and to have arranged for the Great Eastern's first trip to Portland, with a train of ten thousand passengers. When the Grand Trunk is finished to Sarnia, the vast pro ducts of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, mast naturally flow over it to the sea-board at 'Quebec and Portland, The Liverpool Corn Market continues to be well Ia ttended, and a fair extent of business is being ransacte•. The late heavy thunder storms have )ceasioned floods and damage in various districts, bit a return of fine weather has somewhat abated previous anxiety, and prices, which had an ad vancing tendency, have quietly settled down again to about last week's currency, at which, however, only a consumptive demand for all articles is experienced, to-day's business being quite of a retail character. Trade at Manchester is operated upon by events which are taking place here, and the increasing value of Cotton has strengthened the position of producers. Goods are firmly held for advanced rates, and Yarns are buoyant at I ton 1 per lb. more money, with an improved demand in almost all departments. The market at Bradford does not present any peculiar features, but is neverthe less steady, and legitimate hopes are entertained of an ultimate improvement in its tone. Messrs. Pilkington, Brothers' circular of this evening thus records the freight market : With the exception of outward Coal freigts to the East Indies there has been very little done this week in the freight market The Troop ship Gosforth was taken up yesterday for B.mabay, at £l3 lOs 61 per head, and the stores by the same ship at 28s and lld per ton. Sixteen other ships were tendered at rates varying from £l4 is to £2O for men, and from 20s 3d to 36i for stores. A few small ships can still be plsced from the Rice ports to U. K. or Continent at from £3 12s 61 for U. K. t 5s to Conti: ent, and from the Mauritius one small ship with Sugar to U. K. at 60s, at d from tl e other East India ports at our qnnations. From the Danube suiatable vessels are enquired for at 13s to 13s 61 per qr. for India Corn or Wheat, and from Odessa or Kertch at 55s to 56s per ton for Tallow, with option of Azof at lOs per ton extra. From Alexandria 6s 3d to 6s 6d per qr. for Beans. Rather more activity has been experienced in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce this week, in consequence of a disposition on the part of the importers to meet the buyers by reduction in the quotations. For some time past the trans actions in sugar have been very much circum scribed and holders having found it difficult to effect sales have at length found it necessary to submit to lower prices, At the public sales during the last two or three days a decline of ls. per cwt. has taken place. Coffee has remained tolerably steady, but Costa Rica has declined fully Is. per cwt. Cocca has been rather dearer. Tea remains dull and rice is at rather lower rates In spices there has not been much activity and there is no alteration of importance in values. Saltpetre has realised full prices, and tallow has scarcely sup ported the late advance. A day or two ago we took occasion to notice some failures which have taken place in this town, and to point out an error which the comme: - vial editor of the Times had committed, in connecting a lately deceased Liverpool sharebroker with certain forgeries. The Times' city article, of yesterday, makes the following remarks :—" The rumour lately circulated of a merchant at Liverpool having died suddenly, leaving liabilities for 300,0004 which 100,0001 had been found to be forgeries, appears to have been an exaggeration com pounded from two incidents. A sharebroker is extensive business was found dead in his bed, as it now appears, from disease of the heart, on the morning of the last settling day, when he had to pay large differences, and it has since been ascertained that he has left his affairs in a very unsatisfactory state. A few days previously a partner in a re spectable mercantile firm disappeared, having, it is said, forged acceptances for 25,0001. In both cases the details are kept private, and, as is usual under such circumstances, they have created need less excitement and alarm. Daring the last few days two other failures in connection with the deceased gentleman have been bruited about 'Change—one is that of a house engaged in the corn trade, and the other a general produce broker."

TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1857. of the year to the end of July was 4,280,000/, but notwithstanding these extensive shipments the bullion in the City Banks was steadily maintained. * On the Ist instant the stock of precious metals held by these establishments was 2:600,0001 The following remarks on the commercial pfospects of New York are from the New York firrall There is reason to believe that the imports will continuo to be enormous during the months of August and Sep tember. On the strength of the tariff our merchants have strained their means to the utmost to give copious orders to the manufacturers abroad ; while the exce:lant crop prospects of the West encourage the western merchants to be liberal in their orders to their correspondents here. We look for a continnstion or some time to come in the increase of imports both at this and other ports. As to the means for paying for them, it is now ob vious that the crops in Europe are going to be so bountiful that our grain will hardly pay the cost of freight to Liverpool. We must expect to get on as well as we can without foreign demand. Especially in view of tha pending movement for the increase of railway fares, it seems very unlikely that any c3nsilerable portion of the harvest will be moved this fall. We cannot expect thi cotton balls before the beginning of the winter. There remains, then, only the two old staples with which we have so oaten been obliged to pay our European debts— paper securities and gold. LIVERPOOL COTTON M.A.EtKET.—.due. 21. Tne present small stock, the very light shipments from the States, and the reported unfavourable and backward state of the growing crop, have given a renewed impetus to our cotton market throughout the past week, and a large business has been daily transacted, at gradually improving prices, amounting to id per lb since our last. Brazil in good demand and id per lb dearer. Egyptian scarce and in favour of the seller. Surat I-161 per lb higher in the lower grades.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SHIPPING. LLOYD'S, Aug. 19. Sir,—l am instructed, on the part of the com mittee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, to transmit to you, for the information of the mem bers of your association, and of the mercantile community in Liverpool generally, the accompany ing copy of a letter addressed to this committee by the Board of Trade, and of the extract therein referred to, from a report made by the British Consul at Bahia respecting the cause of the preference so frequently given to foreign vessels over British.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, JOHN POLITO, for the Secretary. To T. Court, Esq., Underwriters' Association, Liverpool. ( Copy.) BRAZILS —BAIIIA. Report by Mr. Morgan, her Majesty's Consul at Bahia, on the trade of that port for the year 1856. Table No. 2, gives an accurate detail of the foreign and national navigation of this port. British shipping is at present, and has been some time, at a discount, both here and at Rio de Janeiro. No merchant will charter a British vessel if they can find a foreign one to load, and to the tatter 2s to 5s more is freely offered in order to secure them. This arises from the little attention be stowed by British ship masters to the cargoes of produce entrusted to them ; hence, therefore, the Swedes, Nor wegians, and German flte's always command a preference, even a Portuguese will be c ' chartered in preference to a British vessel. This state of affairs is unfortunately only one side of the question. In England the same preference obtains. During last year no less than twenty-four foreign vessels arrived at this port with cargoes taken in at home. At present one British firm established here has six foreign vessels chartered in England coming out loaded with coals to his consignment ; and the reason adduced for such a preference is that foreign vessels being sure of commanding a freight homeward, or to the Conti nent, are willing to accept lower freights outwards to Brazil, because they obtain higher freights when they come into competition with British shipping. Another cause, which is perhaps unknown to British owners at borne, militates strongly against the employ_ ment of British ships, and that is, some agents or ship_ brokers, generally charter vessels on their own account; which, having only a limited time to load, are filled up to the main-hatch, to make it appear that they are nearly loaded, and ready for sea. When the lay day expire, these shipbrekers, in order not to pay demurrage, fill up the sides of the vessels, and cover valued property with coals. What is the consequence? Manufactured goods shipped at Liverpool such as cambries, muslins, and other fine articles, are spoiled, and the consignees out here very naturally object to this property being endangered either by the speculations of a shipbroker, or by the carelessness of a British shipmaster. These facts are notorious, and I regret my duty obliges me to make mention of them; but, if British shipowners at home do not wish to see the important carrying trade with Brazil, now growing every day more important, fall into the bands'of our rivals, they must, be more exacting with their brokers, and more particularly as to the manner in which the captains of their ships load and discharge the property entrusted to their care. SCENES AT Damir.—We have a further picture of the first massacre at Delhi. The scene is that of ono of the most precious sacrifices offered since the revolt broke out -the murder of Miss Jennings. The fair gir: is carried out in the presence of her father to the public square, by the infuriated demons about to be her executioners. She has no womanly fears about her own safety. Her fears are womanly indeed—they are not for her father ; and her only entreaty is that she may die to save his life. Here, then, is a filial sacrifice passing that of the daughters of Agamemnon and Jephtha. Is it not well to be of the same country as this noble English maid ? Then there is a paragraph telling of one who deserved to die on the same day with his fair sister. It cqnfirms the news that Lieutenant Willoughby has died of the frightful wounds he received in blowing up the Delhi magazine —frightful r wounds ! yet, oh, how beautiful ! Could a mother ask a more splendid destiny for her son than that which has overtaken this subaltern hero ? The stories of Quintus Curtinus, of Mutius, of all whose self-devotion in their country's cause has made their names ring gloriously down all the grooves of time, record no more enviable death. When Delhi shall be utterly destroyed, and its aneient memorials levelled with the ground, the simple column, which shall tell of these two deeds alone, shall he a monument more magnificent than all which now com memorates the olden glories of this City of Palaces.
