The sales of Cotton at Liverpool }esterday were

was tame but steady. The sales comprised 4,500 Ame-

Market opened heavily, but improved on hearing that
the Bank had reduced the rate of interest to 2 per cent,,
and closed firmly.
The demand for the principal stapler is still confined
to present wants, and holders obtain no advance of mo-

An interesting and very elaborate statement has been
prepared for Parliament as to the bu.ineas and the ix-
pauses of the various Savings' Banks in the United
Kingdom, and by inspection of the various items, we
arrive at many results which are of importance in form-
ing an estimate of she well-doing of the population, and
the progre•s of the system. England has a population
of 17.609 058 persons and its one oil number of receipts
from depo,itors is 1,055 085/., while its payments are
491,0291. The amounts e Andra en singly are 141 2s. 7id.,
against Si. 17s. 24., taking the average of the year; but
this is 'lune natural, in ,smuch as parties save until they
have a sum at command sutfiaient for the accomplish-
ment of a desired purpose. The average receipts in
Scotland are 3/ 18'. from etch depositor, and the
withdrawals 51 9s. 4.1. The Irish rec,-ipts are 8/. 15s.
10i1., and the wi,bdrawals only 8/. 6s 811, This
shows, apparently, that savings' banks are adopted
in Ireland as places of security, where perhaps
ether banks would serve here, and the easy classes there
are more extensive depositors. The number of annuities
granted during the year to N Al-Taber, 1850, wa, 7,949,
of 134 413/. 6.. 61 The average cost of tnallagetn,nt,
eking the capital of each bank, is in the United King-
dom Bs. 311 1. per cent., the liish banks being most ex-
pensively uonduc ed, and ih— English the cheap.•st.
