I\IO.EI.'ARY AND COMMERCIIL

LIVERPOOL, Monday Evening.
The sales of Cotton to-day were ai)out 7,uOC
bales, including 1,000 on speculation and for export,
without any change in prices. The intelligence
respecting the crop by the America does not vary
much from that of the previous steamer. The
following extracts from letters received from the
South are worthy of attention :
NEW ORLEANS, April 25th, 1357.—We have bad killing
frosts every night this week, arid despatches of yesterda3's
d.te from Vicksburg saw tbst every plant of cotton is
k;lled, and rephnting will have to ho done again. Seed
is becoming very scarce, and in some sections cannot be
g,t.

APAL.tcHicoLA, April 25, 1857.—A very heavy frost is
reported in the ❑p-country on the morning of 23d inst,
with ice as low down as Matianna. There is no doubt,
thar. rerlanting is made necessary in all the cotton region,
and one thing is certain, the chances for a large crop the
coming season are greatly diminishes.

MOBILE, April 27, 1857.—The very remarkable season
we are having induces a very firm cotton market. Since
the 2nd of the month frosty weather, with occasional ice,
has very materially changed the aspect of the future for
c7tt, on.

MEmPurs, Tenn., April 27, 1857.—This morning we
hid another severe frost. Gardeners and farmers in all
dirt ctions are in gloomy spirits at the present condition
of their crops. They are replanting both cotton and corn.
THOMASVILLE, Geo„ April 26, 1857.—The continued
cold we ether has kept our planters back, sr) that few of
them as yet have got their cotton up. We hid heavy
frosts last week. that has killed a good deal of the carton
tint 'vas np. and the balance seems very much idired.
QurNcy, Fla., Anril 28, 1857.—The frosts continurd
wit's us up to the 24th, killing the long cotton very badly,
an ! coin short cotton. The prospects are certainty very
ii ftvou-alde with us at this time for long cotton,
Many planters have ploughed up, and are planting short
Cotton.

BA NB RIDGE, Geo., April 28, 1857.—The cold weather
has caused planters to plough up and plant their cotton
over. In many sections there will be no seed to plant
over.

With reference to the market for American rail-
way securities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reperts as
follows :

There has been a steady enquiry for American securi-
ties in London during the past week. The demand for
Illinois shares, to secure the new issue at par, has been
active, and an advance of 3 to 4 per cent has been realised.
Freeland Bonds have changed hands at 108, and 6 per
cent bonds at 87. Michigan Central Bonds of 1869,
have been done to a moderate extent to 91. Pennsylvania
Ist Mortgage Bonds have also been wanted at a slight
advance, and we note small transactions in New
York Central Six per Cent and Seven per Cent
Bonds. Detroit and Milwaukee Bonds of both
kinds have been done at our quotations to. a moderate
extent. The new issue of Freeland shares of this Com-
pany has been favourably received, and it is a matter of
great importance to the Great Western of Canada Company
to secure the completion of this line, especially as by the
running arrangement between the two companies the traffic
is secured to the Great Western of Canada, thus rendering
futile the construction of a line to Sarnia by the Grand
Trunk Company, as required by the Relief Bill' now
before the Legislative Assembly.
The letters by the West India mail were delivered
this afternoon. From the Kingston Commercial
Intelligencer we learn that Sugars have sustained
previous terms, and refiners have shown more
disposition to conclude business; but grocers
manifest_ little inclination to purchase. The

yellow, 54s 6d to 56s ; refining, 50s to 538 ; and
grainy, 50s to 59s per cwt. Stock of West India is
only 4,900 tons, against 3,000 of same date last
year. Coffee is getting scarce, and bringing 43s to
448 for ordinary. In Corn, stock is light, and but
little doing, 43e per bushel has been realised for
lots some time on hand. Flour has been sold at
from 37s 6d to 38s. dams abundant, and
