CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,500 American and
1,500 Surat were taken for export, and 1.500 American
and 2,000 Surat on speculation. The market closed with
an upward tendency; American id. per lb. dearer, and
prices of all other kinds were tight. The sake com-
prise 8,500 American, 600 Pernam and Maranham, at
sd. to 5d.; 500 Egyptian, at 54d. to 9d.; 5,000 Surat, at
3d. to 4d ; and 800 Sea Island, at is. 1. to Is. Bd. per
lb.—Railway Shares were in good demand at highor
prices.
The Second Chamber of the Dutch States General
met yesterday, and the First Chamber re-assembles to-
day.

An interesting statement as to the railroad question
was made by the Lieutenant-Governor of New Bruns-
wick, upon opening the Legislature recently, and a
strong desire is expressed by his Excellency that New
Brunswick should cordially co-operate with Canada and
Nova Scotia, by accepting in some form the aid proffered
by her Majesty's Government for the promotion of this
object. Reterring to a dispatch to be laid before the
Legislature, giving the reasons why her Majesty has
not been advised as yet to assent to the Act passed
last session in aid of European and North American rail-
roads, his Excellency intimates' that a Bill, containing
the proposed amendments will be submitted for their
consideration. Bearing upon this subject, we give the
following extracts, which appear to be of interest:—" In
my opinion, a railroad uniting Canada, New Brunswick,
and Nova Scotia especially, in connexion with a line to
the United States, would produce an abundant return
to this province. I believe that your revenue would in-
crease very largely without imposing additional burdens
on any one. The millions of acres, now untroddent
would supply food for man, and the millions
of tons of timber, now standing worthless
in your forests, would find a profitable market. It will,
however, be obvious that the introduction of capital from
other quarters is almost indispensable to the construction
is the province of works of such a character on a large
scale. If you have made up your mind to have railways,
the question is, how can such capital be got? The sur-
plus capital of our own province would go but
a little way; the distances are great, and our
means are limited.; You know as well as I do, that to
withdraw a large amount of private capital suddenly
from its present employment, would derange and dislo-
cate the ordinary industry of the country. The
the lumberer, the merchant, 60
farmer, the fisherman,
the agriculturist would have to forego at once the use of
sums on which they severally rely for the prosecution of
their business. Although it is no doubt that such on
outlay would ultimately repay itself with ample interest,
yet in the interval, without an advance of capital from
some other source, great distress would be suffered.
The letters received this morning from Holland fur-
nish an account of the meeting of the shareholders in
the Dutch Rhenish Railway. It appears from the Pre-
ceedings, which were of considerable length, with re-
spect to the continuation of the line to the Prussia°
frontier, the Dutch Government undertakes to advance
to the company a million of guilders at stated periods
from the time of purchasing the land, &c., to the run„-
ning of the first trains. The directors propose
to the Government that the company shall provide anY
further amount required. With respect to the Rotterli
dam branch it is proposed that Government shed.
allow 5 per cent. interest on the amount require
say 4,800,000 guildere, if raised by the company, ouril
the three years that the line is making, or otherwit.e
'
advance the said 4,800,000 guilders as a loan upon the
mortgage of the works, without charging any interest.
e
A special meeting is to be convened when the directors
are able to report more definitely upon these points. 4
Much greater buoyancy is observable in the Englis
Stock Market, and large money purchases are making'
According to the rumour current, the Bank of Eeglatio
is buying, and it is asserted that it has a large sum to
invest. In the existing plethora of money, and will1,°(:)
little demand fur discounts, it is not surpria°4',
that a difficulty should be experienced in dis-
posing_
of large amounts of surplus capital'
for in commercial walks there is no speculation to ab-
sorb it. Consols have been 96 i, and are now 964 1.
