The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were

quiet but firm, at previous rates. The sales comprised

5.500 American, 300 remain and Maranham at 6d. to
05dd.,.
to 2s. 3d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull, at rather
atto
lower prices.
Some very interesting statistics of the Lowell manu-
factures, compiled from authentic sources, have been
received from the United States. These give the ave-
rage wages of females employed in the manufactories at
two dollars clear of board, and of males 80 cents per
diem. The medium produce of a loom, No. 14 yarn, is
45 yards per day, and of No. 30 yarn, 33 yards. The
average number of yards per spindle per day is I*. The
Middlesex Company make use annually of 6,000,000
teasels, 1,716,0001b5. of fine wool, 80,0001bs. of glue,
60,000 dollars' worth of dye-stuff, and 17,000 dollars'
worth of soap. The Wamesit Carpet Mill, on the
Concord River, belongs to the same company,
where 93,6001b5. of coarse wool, and 36,4001b5. of
worsted yarn, producing 91,000 yards ingrain carpeting
are annually consumed. The Merrmack Manufacturing
Company use 100,000 pounds of madder, 380,000 ditto
copperas, 60,000 ditto alum, 50,000 ditto sumac, 40,000
ditto soap, 45,000 ditto indigo per annum. The Lowell
Bleachery use 40,000 pounds of indigo and 25,000
dollars worth of other dyeing materials per year.
There are four banks—the Lowell, capital 200,000
dollars; the Railroad, capital 600,000 dollars; the
Appleton, capital 150,000 dollars; the Prescott, capital
100,000 dollars. In 1828 the population of Lowell was
3,532; in 1840, 20,796; and in 1850, 33,385; the in-
crease in ton years being 12,589. The ma-
chine shop at Lowell can furnish machinery
complete for a mill of six thousand spindles
in three months, and a mill can be built in the same
time. The different companies have established a hos-
pital, under the superintendence of a qualified surgeon
and physician, for the sick in their employ. There are
two institutions for savings, the Lowell and the City.
The former had in deposit, at the date of the last re-
turn, from 4,609 depositors, 736,628 dollars, while the
City, at the same time, had 615 depositors, and 75,970
dollars, the operatives in the mills being the principal
depositors. For the purpose of furnishing a ready sup-
ply of water to any part of th© city, in case of fire, a
large reservoir had been built on the high ground in Bel-
videre, east of the city. Within the precincts of the city
are likewise extensive powder mills, paper and batting
millings, and lumber yard and saw mills.
The details of the accounts received from the Cape of
Good Hope have produced an uneasy feeling on the
Stock Exchange, and the market for all the
highest securities is unsettled. Prices continue heavy,
without alteration from yesterday afternoon, but at one pe-
riod of the morning a slight rally took place, which was
however of short duration, and the tendency is now con-
sidered to be downwards. Consols opened at 99i to
improved per cent., but are now flat again at the for-
mer quotation, and 99.34 to for the Account. Reduced
Three per Cents. are 100;3,- to New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents, 104 - to Bank Stock continues
flat also, at 227 to 229. India Bonds 85s. to 87s. prem.
Exchequer-bills of the March issue are 735. to 765. prem.,
and those datel in June last are 68s. to 71s. prem.

The principal attention of the dealers in the foreign
houses continues to be directed towards the Turkish
Levi, end it has slightly improved in value. It was
first quoted to-day at 7k -a., and is now 71 :1 premium.
Austrian Scrip firmly maintains the improvement
which took place yesterday, and is marked at 51 to 6i
premium. Grenada Deferred Bonds are steady at 124
13. Peruvien are very firm, and the Active are quoted
at 105 106; ditto Deferred, 66 67. Spanish Stocks are
unaltered, the Three per Cents. being 491 to 50; ditto
New Deferred, 22.- to 23*. Portuguese Four per
Cents. are firm at 39 to i. Mexican are quiet at 25i I.
The downward tendency of Railway Shares continues,
and the present quotations show a fall of from ss. to 10s.
Business is extremely limited, as for some days past.
North-Western are 1211 to 1211, Great Western 96* to
97, South-Western 92 to 23, Midland 77 to 771.

We have received the following letter from a share-
holder in several of the Gold Mining Companies. His
complaint is one of nanny others that have been ad-
dressed to us upon the same subject:—
" Sir,—Can you tell what the Gold
Mining Companies
&redoing? I have long been waiting to see an advertise-
ment what has been done with
their money; whether entirely spent in machinery, &c.,
for crushing the gold quartz and such like operations,
and more remunerative to the shareholders to send out
sovereigns for the purchase of gold to be remitted to
or whether the directors have considered it more prudent
ral
olitPg a public meeting of shareholders for the
purpose letting them know
