MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening The Cotton Market remains extremely quiet, and prices, ure with, difficulty sustained. The Sales to-day were only 2,500 hales, all to the trade.

The market for the Public Funds and Securities was rather firmer to-day, hut an advance of per cent, io the forenoon, was not maintained. Consols for Money closed at 894 to 90, and for the Account at 90 to 901. Exchequer Bills were quoted at 10 to 6 dis. In the London Railway Share Market to-day the tone was decidedly steadier, and the folluwini were the closing prices :—Caledenian; - 83-4, 841; Eastern Counties, 114, 1 ; Sast Lancashire,.9l SS; Great Northern, 97, 9a; Do, A Shares,'B6, 90; Great Western, 55-1-, 551; Lancashire and York shire, 951, 95:} ; Leeds Northern, 40 1 , • 471; London and North Western, 'fin 914 ; london and Smith Western, 894. 90 ; Manchester, Shef field,and Lincolnshire, 401 41i; Midland Stock, 801, 80i; North British, 474, 48'1.; South Eastern,. and Dover 613 , 651; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 903, 9li ; York and North Midland, 76, - 7 1 7 ; Grand Trunk, l 18, 11N ; Great Western CanadP, 201, ; Do.

The Hull letters to-day mention the failure of Messrs. Taylor and Bright, an old established firm in the corn trade. The event is cons! gnent on the recent stoppage of the bank of- Harrison and Watson, and it is alleged that . Mr. Bright is indebted on his own account :&10,000 to that estab lishment. The half-yearly dividend on the Tuilcish Six per Cent. loan is advertised to be paid by Messrs. Palmer, Maekillop, Dent, and Co.

The commercial demand for money continues brisk, at full rates, and the applications at the Bank were yesterday rather numerous. In the Stock )xehange the rate for loans on government se curities until the middle of October was about five per cent. At Vienna and Amsterdam some improvement Was taken place i 3 _Austrian stock, owing to the hope that the meeting of the three Emperors will be followed by a reduction of the , vast military es tablishment which weighs so heavily upon the Austrian finances. At Berlin, Russian stock has fallen ai per cent., in consequence. probably, of the tightness of the money market in that city. The Committee of the Stock Exahange yesterday formally decided that the house shall be closed on Wednesday, the 7th of October, the day of Humili ation and Prayer. The day will he observed as a close holiday in all the public offices and through out the City. Gold to the amount of 317.3001 has arrived from Australia per the ships True Briton, from Mel bourne, and Nourmalial, from Sydney, the former having 61,893 ouneteaof g-ld and- 30,400 English sovereigns, and the latter - 3 334 ounces and 26,000 Australian sovereigns. The 30.410 English sove reigns go into the Bank, which also purchased to day 7,000/ or 8,000/ in gold. As the demand for the Continent is active, it is thought that nearly the whole of the residue will be sent away. About a 5,000/ of the amount ex the True Briton, which reached London yesterday, has already been sold for exportation. The Gezeitound has also arrived from More`on Bay, but is not known to have any gold on freight. According to advices from Hull, the advances made by Messrs. Harrison, Watson, and C) , to the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills Company reach about 20,000 Z, but it is alleged that Mr. Bright, the chairman of that company, is indebted to the bank to the extent of 80,0001. or 90 OWL The imme diate assets of the firm are stated, t to consist of 80,0001- in cash and bills, whilst their liabilities to depositors are understood to be large. No autho ritative details, however, have been published. A meeting of all parties concerned is expeeed to be shortly held. Much sympathy is expressed in the town for one of the nartners. The Crest of the Wave has arrived from Foe ehow-foo, with 893,600 lbs. of tea on freight. O her cargo, 1 AOO packages are described as new season's teas. The Coldstream has also arrived from China.

The various articles under this head have, almost with out exceptloa, maintained an unusually high average of prices the past season, and an immense aggregate has gone to still further enrich the producers and dealers of the Great Wasr. We have no space for an extended re view of the various articles, and are compelled to content ourselves with referring to our usual tables of Receipts and Exports for the amount of supplies and their distribu tion, and to the tables annexed, which show the highest and lowest points in each rnenth, for the course of prices in our leading articles. With unusually abundant crops, both in this country and in Europe, producers can hardly look for such an average of prices the coming season as we have shown to have been attained in the year just closed, but the great increase in quantity may yield a still larger aggregate.

A Bratury oF TAB DIISRRT.—On -the bank of the river, near this tillage (near Esne), I sat down and watched the women (oaring fin. water. Ooe and another came, each help ing the one before her to fit the enoraneue jar on the topof her head. At length there appeared one of the noblest spe• etmens of f. marine beauty that I remember. A tall and splendidly formed girl c irne down close -by me, the wind blowing back her ample thin cotton garment, so as to reveal the outlines of a peeect fuem— , ne that Preercitelee might have dreamed of, one suet, as it is seldom permitted human eyes to see. Her tunic was opened from neck to waist, and her bust, contrary to the common eppearante of the Egyp.ion women, was full. and of delicate outline. Her face was .Grcek, her lips classical in their severe beauty. Imagine my astonishment as this vision swept by not three feet distant, and paused within a rod to dip water in a levy jai.. I geand admiringly at her, as w h o would not ? She retureed my gaze with cold curitisity, and eyes devoid of interest, but dark, 'alarm eyes withal, that had fire in them which might be made to flame. She had on her neck a string of antiques, chiefly searabm 3 . I had teen them thus before, and had purchased some c u:icus an iques from the neck s an d wr i sts of the ' women I walked up to her, and teok hold of them. She stood like a statue, motionless, her black eyes fixed on but ve as silent, and allowed my examination without fear er objection. How much shall I pay you for your necklace 7" slhe looked, but made no reply, and, stooping down, litted her jar; a friend helped her to saing it to her head, end then, dropping her hands, she walked up the bank in stately style; nor to ke I back, tier seem e d to h ave the slightest iuterest in the fate of Braheem Eff,ndi. To be cut thus by an ECyptiara ! Oa reflection, I have perhaps deaf and dumb—possibly tho , ight th a t she Was idiotic; but I think not that, for she was too splendidly beautiful. Hamilto.n's Travels. COTTON CULTURE TIN AFRICA. The following correspondence and communication from the board of trade, with rcferende to this subject has been publishe " Office of Committee of Privy Council of Trade, . 1 Whitehall, 27th August, 1857. " Ski—l am directed by the lords of the committee of privy council for trade, to transmit to you printed copies of a, further despatch which has been received by the segretary of state for foreign affairs from her Majesty's consul at Llgos, respecting the cultivation of Cotton in Africa ; and I am to r(cpest that you will state to the Chamber of Commerce, at Manchestir, that they are sent for the purpose of being distributed amongst those who are most interested in procuring an increased supply of cotton. lam further to request that you will inform the Chamber of Commerce that Lord Clarendon proposes, in conformity with Mr. Campbell's suggestions, to in struct Her Majesty's consuls in the southern states of America and in Brazil, to endeavour to procure some seed of a more valuable description of cotton, to be sent to Mr. Campbell, and also plans and diagrams of the clean ing machines and presses in those countries for preparing and compressing the cotton for exportation. My lords would, therefore, be glad to receive from the chamber any information which they may be able to procure with regard to machines for cleaning and pre-sing cotton which might prove useful to Her Majesty's consul at Lagos.—l am sir, your obedient servant, EDGAR A. BOWRING. " The Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, Manchester," "Consul Campbell to the Earl of Clarendon. (Received July 9.) • 1 " My Lord,—T had the honour to receive, by the last mail, your lordship's despatch, da!ed March 9, 1857, in forming me that your lordship had perused my report of the trade of the Bight of Benin for the year 1836, w,ith great in crest and satisfaction; and desiring me after careful consideration of the subject, to inform your lord ship whether there are any means which Her Majesty's government could adopt in order to stimulate or assist the cultivation of cotton in the countries lying to the north and south of the Niger, and that Her Majesty's government are prepared to use their utmost efforts, and to incur experimentally a reasonable expense, in order to turn to account the favourable state of things described to my report, and desiring me to consult those persons upon whose judgment and experience io this matter I can place reliauce. The Rev. Samuel Crowther, the highly in'elligent native clergym in attached to Church Mission ary Society's establishment at this station, through whose instrumentality the chiefs and others at Abbeokuta have extended their cultivation of the cotton plant as a com merpial export, having returned from a visit from that town, I lost uo time in making him acquainted with the wishes and intentions of Her Majesty's government is regard to promoting the cultivation of the cotton plant. Mr. Crowther is of opinion that, in the present stage, it would not be advisable to distribute the seeds of a foreign and more valuable description of cotton to the chiefs and others at Abbeokuta. The native cotton now grown by them is of that description of which the greatest quantity is used, and is known at Manchester, as • good ordinary,' and fetches to the cultivators a renumerating price ; but Mr. Crowther is of opinion that seed of a higher priced description of cotton would be advantageously placed in the hands of the native converts of Christianity, many of whom are planters, because they would readily submit to instruction and directions as to the mode and manner of cultivating the new seed ; in fact, that. under the advice and instruction of the missionary agents, these con verts would readily cultivate a model plantation, to which, after a time, the attention of the chiefs and other cultiva tors might be invited. I think highly of this suggettion of Mr. Crowther's, and beg respectfully to submit to your lordship that seed of the higher priced description of cotton be sent to me to be placed in the hands of the native Christian converts. The great drawback hitherto experienced has been the want of good machines for seperating the cotton from the seed ; those hitherto used are the description called the saw gin,' but as they deteriorate the cotton a halfpenny and more the lb., in eonteauence of the tearing of the fibre, another descrip tion, called the 'roller gin,' was sent out; but this machine being unadapted for the cottod cultivated in this part of Africa, not cleaning 51bs. of cotton per day, while the saw gin cleaned upwards of 301b5., the natives refused them even as a gift. Another great drawback also has been the want of a press, but this will be soon remedied, as two presses has arrived out, and will be soon set up in Abbeokuta; and Signor Scala, the Sardiniau consul, a man of energy and enterprise, who is forming a conemer. cial establishment at Abbeokuta, expects a press from England by the next packet. Unhappily, a large quantity of cotton in the- raw state, of the crop of last season, stored in various depots at Abbeokuta, waiting the arrival of more cleaning gins and the _presses, was destroyed by a fire some months ago, which burnt down a large portion of the town of Abbeokuta. As it is a great desideratum with a people who have no other capital than their labour that they should possess machines for cleaning the cotton, simple, cheap, and inexpensive, I beg to submit to your lordship that Her Majesty's consuls in those southern states of America, and in other countries where cotton is extensively grown, be directed to forward to your lord ship drawings and diagrams of the description of cleaning machines most used in those countries, with such descrip tions as would render them quite intelligible to a Manches ter mechanist ; and as as increased cultivation of the cotton plant In other parts of the Yoruba country is confidently expeeted, and there are neither railroads nor canals by which to transport cheaply so bulky a material, and only very narrow footpaths at best, I beg further to submit to your lordship that Her Majesty's consuls at Pernambuco and Para be directed to send plans and descriptions of the rude but phwerful wooden presses which I am informed are used in the interior of those provinces in Brazil, to compress the cotton into small bales, which are then carried on the backs of mules to the ports on the c fast. I beg again respectfully to suggest to your lordship that the conductors of the trading expedition up the Niger should be earnestly re quested to direct their attention to cotton as an article of export, and that the expedition should be provided with all the means necessary for purchasing it from the natives. cleaning it, and pressing it in the state fit for shipment.— I have, &c., • (Signed) "B. CAMPBELL, " Lagos, May 16,. 1857." [Copy ] "Chamber of Commerce, Manchester, 25th Sep., 1857. " Sir,—Referring to your letter of the 27th ult , addressed to the secretary of this chamber, I beg to state that, in consequence of this prolonged illness, your im portant communication has not received an earlier reply. The service of Lord Clarendon, of Mr. Consul Campbell, and of the Rev. Mr. Crowther, in promoting the cultiva. tion of cotton at Mobeolcuta, in Atrica. are, I beg to assure you, .most sincerely appreciated. For good ordinary cotton, of which more is consumed in this country than of any other, the Am,rican saw gin is unquestionably the most economical and effective cotton cleaning machine, as all the best Boweds and New Orleans cottons as well as the " ordinary " are clean( d by it ; but its accurate adjustment, to prevent injury, is requisite. The new roller gin. the " Macarthy gat," which is also an American machine, is admirably adapted for cleaning long stapled cottons, and will clean 5 lbs. per hour, and if worked double or alternate handed for many hours; on every working day, would clean bOOlbs., or two bags, weekly. Both the Macarthy and saw gins can be supplied from this city ; and, if requested, the Cotton Supply Associa tion wi►l obtain and contribute tine cotton seeds.—l am, sir, your most obbedient servant, :" Tins. linzLET, President. " To Edgar Bowring, Eiq , Board of Trade, Lannon. THE LINEN TRADE. The summer and 'autumn of 1857 have been the most favourable ever recollected for the open air finish of goads. At present the breadth of ground occupied by linens in the process of finish is as large as it was in the middle of June, and the quantity of white goods sent in from the bleach-field is as large in proportion to the fineness of the wea' her. Two of the local establishments have been bleaching ten thousand pieces a week for some time past. This large turnout may be taken as a sample of the business doing at other seats of finish in the north of Ireland. In tne warehouses stocks do not bulk to any extent likely to create unhealthy accumulation, and as the foreign markets prove favourable, a full trade may be expected during the remainder of the season. Brown markets have been rather better supplied with webs for the week, but the best turn-out must be set down as a light one. Armagh, on Tuesday, bad a fair supply, and .medium goods went off freely. Lurgan, on Thursday, was less quiet, the quantities of damasks and die pers were very ample, and bu)ers took stock freely. Lawns for the print field have been easier moved, but iu the handkerchief trade no turn can be noted. Ballymena had a more active market on Saturday, and a good deal of business was done in bleaching linens. The yarn trade is steady. N.) large stooks of warps are in the hands of spinners. Wefts, of fine .quality, are held for full prices ; inferior descrip tions fluctuate. Prime linen warps are not bulky in stock, and for this hardening rates rule sales. We note present value for some high numbers of prime warps :- 100 lea, 6s to 7s 6d per bundle ; 140 ditto, 93 to 108 6d per ditto ; 180 ditto, 12s to 13s 61 per ditto; 200 ditto, 15s to 17e per ditto. Flax markets continue sparingly aupplied. Want of water at the scutch mills, and want of time at the farm-yard, may be noticed as the chief causes of this scarcity of supply. Prices are well supported, but no very active demand has yet been experienced. Hand scutched sells from Gs to 7s 9d, and milled at 7s to 12s per cwt., say 61 per stone above recent prices.—Bannre j l of Ifister. '• None of your unkind reflection" as the old maid said t 3 the looking glass. The &Lao Conrier staters the number of steam and sailing vessels built during this season in that city at 42, tte tonnage at 15,923,063, and the cost $1,083,000. Mist of these vessels are ow Ned or controlled there, and are to be engaged in the mile of the Upper LAtes. These are very gratifying evidence, of aubstantial prosperity. NIMES OF wIIEkT. Highe - t.
