TO AN ENOINIMAII, " TIERRE' A GOOD TIME COMING FOR OCEAN STEAM TRANSIT." TO TAE EDITOR OF , TIIE NORTHERA TIMES, Sir, —Reading in your impression of this day's 41te, a communication, with " Engineer" aypended theretcr, on the above-headed subject, I will thank you to extend your usual courtesy by favouring me with the space this will occupy. "-Engineer" states that he expected -to have had some comments upon his communication, bearing , date 28th- September, 1858, on " Ocean Steam ships," Ahich either embraced a gross absurdity or a p-actical, fact. _ It is a for the advancement of science, that thanginee.t.":- if he be:a man above the average of t clash.. of mechanics, should be. afraid of letting the public know who he is, especially when he ar writes upon a.. subject that.. so deeply interests ,he commercial interests, so far as despatch by increasing the speed is concerned, thereby expe diting mails, passeners, specie, &c., and the ship owning iiaterest by a " saving in fuel equal to forty per cent. " Engineer" asks the question, " May I enquire w2at is, or what will Liverpool do in the matter o%;-speed, &c., in Ocean Steamers ? " This is readily answered. If it be true what " Engineer!' states, that he can save "in fuel equal to forty per • anhiniake the steam-ship attain " twenty miles * hour,:aoae will do that body an essential service. But t , eti the other hand, if his ' practical knowledge is at their ; servicei" and his improvements clash with their property, the question is easily solved, and the result must, be a " bad.time coming" for the Ocean Steam-ships that are-not up to the improvements of the. age : , g,ad the requirements Qf the times, quilt .concur with "Engineer," "that we are Ipm the eve of such changes in its mercial yalue," as will . cause a revolution in Ocean steaming, as is-not _generally contemplated, but as to ratifying Engineer's motto, "that there is a good times coming :for ocean steam transit," with the present craft afloat, I must distinctly differ. When "Engineter states " twenty miles an hour," I pre sume he t-speaking of nautical knots. If this be so, there is rick ship afloat yet, nor building, that will ever-log that. milage.• To drive a steam=ship at such high velocities as "Engineer" is talking about, would require what ;the naval mechanical architects of Great Britain have not yet taken into the thinking qualifications of their mental capacities. It is within the last three years; a steamer in the North Atlantic Ocean,. of;- about 300 feet long,. was, in a sea-way, put out of straight line,- from stem to stern-poSt, about three feet.* There are some steamers building, about 33thifeet long, on the ordinary " tin-pot" prin ciple, thabi are, so. the "contract states, to do twenty knots per-hour, and if we live to see 1860 ended, it is more than- !probable that "Engineer," their owners, dicsignersp&c., will see the soundness of my remarks verified. °AS for " Engineer" making allusion to builders at the Tyne and Humber turning out craft to run across the North Atlantic Ocean, at " twenty miles per hour nautical, such clap-trap is only on a par with the- clever man who could do everything iar Itome,und nothing out of it. "Twenty miles per hour" (nautical). across-the Atlantic, On the ordinary "tin-pot principle" would cause the craft to make more water -between the- plates and churn more frotjf in her, joints than would be agreeable to the passengers and crew. Have we not every day proofior the soundness of these not " practical," but " business" remarks ? In " Lloyds' List" there is searcelpa 'publication issued that does not 'give the last dying account and foundering of . some parish-but and owned tin-pot" steamer or sailing ship. I do -not wish .to• be misunderstood, when I state it impossible for the ordinary "tin-pot" prin ciple to stand its work at' " twenty miles" an hour. That it isOat within the reach of the ingenuity of. man and naval mechanical science to produce a craft that will loth stand driving at a high velocity— • proof to twisting in a sea way, and totally staunch' for her ivork ; hut it is: within the range of chemistr3.Ao distil fresh water from salt, thereby doing away with saline inerustacia, and making it safe, with s proper boiler, to work. expansively at such essnre. •as will produce ample steam to seep up twenty miles an. hour. But, another ques tion has to do with steam-ship speed, viz., •ntininnt.m resistance, maximum buoyancy ;•, ostensibly, that the faster a steamer is driven • into a. sea way, sbe•shall rise instead of, as is the fault with most if not all, bury herself in head or cross-head seas. Then is the time that r " cheap" which, turn out " dear" steam ships proxe the accuracy of my common observing daily experience. JOHN CLARE ) Jun., 20, Exchange Buildings,. . .• Liverpool, ,, ,l3th.

Messrs. Wright, jun., and Co.'s circular, published this afternoon, gives the following report of the week's business : Our last circular advices, dated 6th'instant, per Canada, reported a dull feeling in our Cottou_market, with limited sales at irregular prices. Later and more favourable ac counts from the Eastern markets led to a renewal 'of orders for Manchester productions, to cover which the trade purchased more freely of, the raw material, and in the early part of the week an active demand was experienced; the absenCe of any important political adviees inducing speculators to participate in th e business, and sales were practicable at id to id per, lb. adiance on Friday's quotations. As thee progressed the inquiry became less . animated,' and we hive again relapsed` into, quietness bordering on dulness. The import is•large, and the nature of matured and maturing engagements influences, very free offerings, and in some cases an anxiety to realise, according to the views entertained of an uncertain future financially and politically, Money is still i n goo d request, though the drain in our banking institutions has partially subsided, 'and been satisfied by corresponding arrivals.: Only short dated paper is, however, disoounted at the minimum rate of .41 per cent. _ Consols and public securities have advanced in value,, but, like everything else at the moment, a re very s e ns itive in' tone To-day's market closes with a quiet feeling, at prices in buyers' favour. The sales are estimated at 6,000 bales, 500 to speculators and exporters, and offer ings largdly in excess of - the demand, within the quotations below. The•total sales of the week, including what has been forwarded from the ship's side, amount to 53,340 bales, of Which' 42,490 are American. Speculators have taken 4,580, and exporters 2,910, leaving 45,850 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for same time is 244,459 bales, of which 219,993 are American.

On Monday, the market was further strengthened by a large attendance from the trade, and a good general de mand, which was not so fully met, many holders having with drawn their stocks ; prices consequently rapidly hardened, and elOsed at an advance of ed. to id., with sales estimated at 12,000 bales., On lyeduesday and subsequently, however, the - market hag' been quieter, and a portion of the advance lost, so that we enhance our quotations of last week 4-(1. per lb. in American. descriptions.

Jacombe and Son sold 2,000, compared with yesterday ; the competition was fair, but no change in prices was established. The demand for export continues heavy. In Liverpool; Messrs. Bowes Brothers offered 2,330 bales, of which 740 were East India. The biddings were brisk, and every lot .of this description was sold at full prices, some for export. The others were chiefly greasy Spanish, Portugal, and Russian returned from the United States, and were withdrawn. Messrs.

The Fulton, from New York, has brought 20,0001. for England, and 220,0001. for France. At the Bank of England yesterday, the demand for discounts was light, and in the general market more confidence was shown. Tire instances, however, in which transactions take place below the Bank minimum, appear to be of a somewhat exceptional character. The final instalment of 10 per cent. falls due to day on , the Chilian loan of 1,554,0001. The 34,6001. in Australian gold by the Morning Star was purchased yesterday for exportation. No gold was withdrawn from the Bank. Nearly 100,0001. in silver arrived in the Thames, on Wednesday, from Boulogne. The steamer Orissa, with a mail for Bombay, reached Malta, from Southampton, on the 7th inst., and left on the same day for Alexandria. The annual meeting of proprietors of the National Provincial Bank of England took place yesterday. The net profits for 1858 were stated at 100,317/, out of which a bonus of 74 per cent was declared, making, with the dividends previously paid, a total distribu tion of 154 per cent for last year, and leaving 7,3171 to be added to the reserve' fund, which is thus increasrd to 204,6981. The position of the market': for American Securities is thus 'noticed by Messrs. D.

F. Satterthwaite is sub joined : Since our last, the market for American securities has sensibly improved, the reduced quotations having brought in buyers of Michigan Central; New York Central, and Penn sylvania Central Bonds. United States Five per Cent. Bonds 1874, are in good demand at 93. Erie securities of all kinds are neglected. The shares of the Illinois Central have suffered a severe decline, touchinr , 484 discount on a sub scription being asked for 100,0001.' on Seven per Cent. Debentures, at 85, repayable Ist July, 1861, at par. The whole of thiS amount has; however; been taken, on its being understood that it was required to meet a floating engage ment in New York, falling due Ist July, and that the financial position of the company, as recently full y stated, is in no wise altered. On this becoming known the shares were more actively inquired for, and closed, buyers, at 46 dis: Construction Bonds are steady at 60 to 70. Free. Land Bonds are much wanted, but few are offerincr o except at. higher rates. _ We .funds improved in the morning, under the infineace of bona fide operations, and relapsed in the afternoon when this support was withdrawn, and the field:was left clearfor, speculative sales and disquieting rumourS. This Morning Consols attained ss fresh advance of t to 4 per cent. The closing quotations however, were scarcely below' those of yesterday. In the other departments of the" Stock Exchange, business continues very languid, but firmness prevailed, and confidence is gradually returning. The £34;600 in Australian gold by the. Morning Star was purchased to-day for exportation. No gold was withdrawn . from thee Bank.—Daily News City Article, .Tharsday Evening. The English Funds opened this morning at a fractional improvement, but declined late in the day on some rumours which could not be traced to any definite authority, of disturbances in Turkey. The demand for money has gene rally subsided. At the Bank to- day the applications were on a moderate scale. In reply to an inquiry whether the Indian Council would be willing to- increase their rate of allowance for pre-payment of instalments to the Thank minimum of 44 per cent., it has been intimated that no such measure is deemed necessary.— Times City - Aatiele Thursday Evening. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.--The Lancashire and Yorkshire shows this week an increase of £56 ; the East Lancashire an increase of 215 ; the North Eastern, and Newcastle and Carlisle, an increase of £460 ; the Man chester; Sheffield; and Lincolnshire an increase of £1,085 ; the Midland an increase of £2,274.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.---111Ay 13. A change in the wind has enabled a fleet of vessels, some long overdue, to enter the port, and the import of cotton in the week, amounting to 245,459 bales, is the largest upon record. In the early part of the week, the trade, whose stocks of the raw material are now reduced to the narrowest working limits, entered the market in force, and although their operations, were individually small, yet being very general, a large business was transacted, and the decline sub mitted to last week was almost regained ;.. since, Tuesday, with more moderate sales, and a general desire to realise, about one-half the improvement has been again lost, and we close tame at about Id per lb advance on last.

The Gazette returns for the week ended 7th instant, are 97,240 'quarters. The trade here since 'Tuesday has completely . changed its aspect ; wheat has been held with much firmness, and a fair amount of busineii has been transacted at an amendment of 3d to 6d per cental, while flour has equally participated in the improvement. The imports of the past three days include a few parcels of wheat and flour from France, but of , other articles there is scarcely anything fresh up. •0 We had only a . small attend ance of buyers at our Corn Exchange this morning, yet the holders of wheat evince much confidence in present prices, and though the transactions on this grain were only to a limited amount, an advance of sixpence per cental was pretty generally established on the quoted currency. Flour met with rather more inquiry, and a slight improvement in value - . Barley, beans, and peas remain with little demand, but prices are nominally unaltered. Oats maintain the price of Tues day, but oatmeal is about 3d per cental lower. Indian corn is held at 3d per cental advance ; but the demand is not active. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET.—May 13, _ _ The din and fnr beef this week is quite on a retail scale, the excitement existing previously having subsided ; quotations remain as in our last report, and holders generally are very firm, but as some of the late arrivals are of very indifferent quality a slightly lower range of prices would - probably be submitted to for such. Pork is also quiet this week, but prices are well maintained. For bacon, the demand rather improves, and, the stock of American being light, holders succeed in establishing the late advance. Lard is in improved demand, and the sales for the week exceed 100 tons, at steady rates. There is a moderate demand for cheese at about former prices. LIVERPOOL WOOL SALES.-MAY 13 , Our present series of public sales commenced, yesterday, under very inauspicous circumstances, ,but the attendance of the trade has been larger and the competition more spirited than was generally, expected. The first-day's sale consisted entirely of East India, the result of which we estimate as follows :—Long true-bred carding wools. show a. decline of ,id to 1d per lb. ; middling and low qualities, with few exceptions, 4d to id. At to-day's sale, 740 bales East India, 1,590 bales low foreign, and 964 sheets English skin wool, &c. were offered. In East India, slight improvement was manifested, but the low foreign descriptions being of an inferor assortment did not command much attention, and were chiefly withdrawn. There was a fair competition for English skin, and the greater part sold at a reduction of lid pei lb. on the fine and middle qualities of combing and clothing descriptions; but on the lower sorts the fall was less marked, and the result of the sales so far may be considered more favourable than was generally, anticipated.
