The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
Closed heavily, and compared with Friday's rates,
Prices of all kinds were tending downwards, but
the decline is barely i-d. per lb. The gales were
estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000 bales, and
Consisted of 120 Sea Islands at Is. to 2s. sd. per lb.
The Railway Share Market was tolerably firm, and
business more lively.

The sum which foreign shipping contributed to-
'wards our light and pilotage dues was, in 1853,
44,478/., and in 1854, 52,7911.
The proportionate trade of the various ports of
flgland is not generally known, and the comiiari-
-B°n is in some respects curious. If tonnage were
to decide the question London would stand above
Liverpool, but when exports aro brought under
notice the latter stands almost doubly as high as
the former. The tonnage inwards, and the declared
value of British and Irish exports in 1854, was as
follows

The extraordinary amount in favour of Liverpool
avast arise mainly from its proximity to the textile
Illanufacturing districts, and the great trade with
he United States.
Accounts from Russia state that orie of the Im- 12
Aerial transports, the Wolga, on the 27th May, I 161
