CITY, Two o'CLoccc.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed zamely and steadily, and prices were un-
changed since Friday. The sales were estimated
at 5,000 bales (1,000 of which were taken for ex-
Port and on speculation), including, in addition to
.American, 400 Egyptian, at 61-d. to Bd. per lb.
The Railway Share Market opened at a slight im-
provement, which was maintained throughout the
day, closing firm.
A bill has been brought into Parliament for the
regulation of Cliiuese passenger-ships, it having
e"
found expedient to take some measures for
tthe prevention of the abuses so frequently perpe-
rated upon them. The term Chinese passenger-
P includes every passenger-ship from Hong
;,,°.Tig, and every British ship from any part of
'lama or within 100 miles of the coast. No pas-
Ilesger-ship, under this act, must clear on a voyage
°_f more than seven days without an Emigration
1-;°lntaissioner's certificate. The commanders of
!lir ships of war may search and demand the pro-
tunction of papers, and vessels refusing to submit
e these regulations shall be forfeited. A fine,
f'swever, may be substituted for forfeiture. The
cwritten. declarations of commanders will be re-
ceived as prima facie evidence. Proper pro-
'181(1 is made for dietary regulation, and re-
gardl, is paid to ventilation, space, and to the
drugsof the vessels. A list given of the
erngs which are to be carried. The bill appears
farefullY prepared, and since the tide of emigration
rein the Celestial Empire appears rather to gain
an increased impetus than the reverse, much
uesefit Would accrue from its becoming law.
The Scincle Railway is so highly appreciated in
moia that every mail brings some new local testi-
nY in its favour. The Commissioner of the
r,anianb writes over that the country is getting on
'ratty well but wants an outlet for its surplus
to duce, which a railway from Kurrachee to Mool-
WoUand powerful steamers on the Punjaub rivers
d afford.
Ajoint-stock company, with a capital of 120,0001.,
bath shares, is before the public for subscription,
be,ll the view of laying down a submarine telegraph
4 "ween the Dardanelles and Alexandria, forming
ofconnection between the latter place and all parts
Nbia.rope. The promoters have obtained from the.
Isle Porte a formal concession of exclusive
telegraphicjol communication for 50 years, with other
to Pertant privileges. The capital can be increased
t 0 0,0001., on an extension to Alexandria
kiali.clitsa• The project is almcst certain of success,
imPortance, from our relations with the
ibtiS manifest. The capital, no doubt, will be
I 4. a,Llied with ease, as the direction includes some
;bee first merchants and bankers in the city.
