The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti -
mated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The mark at

close steadily, at about the rates of Friday last. Tbe
sales comprised 4,000 American, 200 Femme and 2.1.8-

From the Leipzic Now Year's fair we have late dates ,
which enable us to form an opinion of the result, an, I
upon the whole it is not equal to former marts hold c ►t:
the corresponding season. English textile manufac-
tures were taken to a moderate extent by the Poli sh

and Moldavian buyers, and Bavaria bought most of thes
Z Alverein goods.
The rate of exchange at llamburgh last Friday was
higher on London, being 13 51.
There was an active business in Foreign Bonds s
Amsterdam on the 18th instant, Spanish and Austria
taking the lead.
The Union Bulk of Australia appears to be in a most
prosperous condition. Yesterday a dividend at the rate
of six per cent. per annum was declared, besides a bonus
of 10s. per share. The opinion of the directors of this
establishment is that the gold discoveries may occasioa
considerable derangement at first to the usual pursuits or'
Australia, but that ere long great benefit will accrue, the
grand and first object being to &stimulate emigration aa•
much as possible. There is good expected to result from
the exertions now making by the merchants.

The circular of Messrs. Schrceder and Mummy, dated.
New Orleans, Dec. 27, and published by Mr. James Ir—
vine, of Liverpool, gives the following particulars relay
tive to the state of the Cotton Market:—
" Our last review left the Cotton Market:in a firm posi
tion, the demand being animated, and lid. being free]; V
paid for middling. During the first week the same stat
of things continued, the supplies being taken off tb a
market a 3 fast as offered for sale, and about 46,500 bale a
changed hands at gradually improving prices, the quoti
tions for middling at the close of the week being 7-ic.;
some lots having been disposed of even a shade hig nto.
On the 22d instant the Europa 's accounts were before the
public, announcing a decline in Liverpool, owing to ithe
exciting political advises from France, and the same
were soon followed by the Baltic's accounts, bringing gs
further decline in Liverpool. The character of these
news was so unexpected in every respect, that our we"
kot was brought almost entirely to a stand still. The'
French demand has almost entirely subsided, as triigbl
have been expected; other operators, however, have alfO
retired from the market, preferring to learn from their
private correspondence per Europa, which can,
be
looked for only towards the end of next week, furtht IT de"
tails, and until then the business very likely will be calf
on a limited scale. With regard to prices, we find. ths:
the few transactions made this week are at a decline 0
c. to Sc., the majority of factors, however, are reluctant
to sell at the prices offered. The opinion appears to be
.
gaining ground that the peace of Europe will not se,
riously, if at all, be affected by French politics; an
should matters no quickly settled, or the next acckinnw
hold out prospects to that effect, we do not anticipate e
marked change in prices for some time, the more so 0
all our tributary rivers continue very low, and proclada
he possibility that the bulk of supplies should come to
market for some time to come. In the meantim D, the
demand for the North will enable factors to dispi '
at least part of their stock, and thus to maintain i?riee!
to a certain degree. Wo quote—Ordinary to go( eAr.
