CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday
closed firmly, and full prices have been obtained
for all descriptions of cotton. The sales wcre esti-
mated at 12,000 bales (3,000 of which were taken
°/1 speculation, and the remainder to the trade),
ecualPrising 8,500 American at various prices ; 180
Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to qd ; 300
Bahia at 6d. to 61d. ; 1,000 Egyptian, at 6d. to
81d. ; and 2,000 Surat, at nd. to 4,1 d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market closed very dull, and prices
tended downwards.
The reasons why peace is not expected by the
Baltic merchants are set forth in the following
communication from Messrs. Smith and Charles :
"The Vienna Conference is prorogued till the middle
of this month. On its reassembling, the third point—
" Which bang the issues of peace or war—will be dis-
cussed and determined. We have already given our
reasons for ear believing that the negotiations will end in
. Since our last circular was issued, evidence of the
410 st conclusive character has been received confirmatory
ofcred our anticipations. We allude to the address of the
sa executive synod of Russia. The head of the
Lehoroh is the Emperor for the time being. It rarely
'aPPertsnot more than once in ten years—that he pre-
sides in
person • but he is always represented by his
41cle-de.„in- A
p vn this occasion Protusoff had the honour
of representing his Imperial master. You are well
athware that the late Emperor for the purpose of enlisting
e sympathies of his suhjects in the war had appealed
their fana,ticism. To those who are acquainted with
Russian affairs it will be obvious that no opportunity so
! eudvated
ntageous for modifying that feeling could be pre-
as that furnished by a meeting of the Synod,
overmuch as a report of its proceedings is transmitted to
bean bishop to be communicated to his clergy, and by
'eat to be read to their assembled parishioners. Equally
oobvious is it that, had the Emperor Alexander resolved
tsubmitting to the Allies, it would be absolutely
besaarY that he should avail himself of some
8,0,7 opportunit to temper the fanatical spirit
""Th his father had excited. When, therefore,
hie nod, Instead of seeking to abate the enthusiasm of
oils subjects, he addresses to every soul in his dominions,
fur an, woman, and child, an appeal calculated to lash into
the fanatical element, it can scarcely admit of a
doubt that the intention of the present Emperor is to
Pert
the everein the policy of his ancestors. This appeal,
re. n , While it indicates the course to be pursued on the
f•,,4solnbling of the Vienna Conference, renders retreat
Bjlll what may be called a pledge taken before his as-
lainlbled people, in the most solemn manner in which a
edge can in Russia be given, impossible."
vi The official returns relating to the trade and na-
tgatlon of the United Kingdom for the month and
IWO Months ending March 5, 1855, have been pub-
shed. From these it appears that the total de-
az.ed exports for the month, exclusive of the
6 r
,ioff 4eniltrierated" articles, was 4,488,1821., against 2
2)433/. in 1854, showing a falling oof
4,1049'2511. The unenumerated shipments in the
'lth this year were valued. at 544,234/., and in 1854
4185,497/. The diminution is perceptible in coals
hiaa.,'culnat, butter, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn,
:oerdashery and millinery, hardwarps and cutlery,
ell Manufactures, linen yarn, machinery, silk
riaalltlfactures thrown silk, woollen and worsted
arptmfactures, and woollen and worsted yarn.
