INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

TA sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at '12400 bales, of which 4,000 were
taken for export and speculation. The market
continued very animated, and Brazil were -id.
dearer: The sales comprised 10,000 American,
400 Pernam and Maranham, at God. to 7d. ; 200
Bahia, at 611. ; 500 Egyptian, at 6-id. to 9d. ; and
700 Surat, at 34d. to 4N. per lb. Railway Shares
Were firmer.

There has been an improved demand for most
articles of col.mal prOduce, and,prices are well sus-
tained notwithstanding- the inertness of speculation
and the larl.-4encss of stocks. In articles used for
manufacturing purposes there has been a good
siness done. Sugar has been in moderato re-
ques';,. and in elfin, except Native, purchases to a
lair extent have been made. Tea is less wanted,
and tallow is cheaper. Rice, cotton, and saltpetre
are steady. Rum has been active. Scotch pig
iron has advanced. Colonial wool goes off rather
heavily, but indigo proceeds briskly.
Accounts from New Brunswick report the fol-
liming progress of the-railway surveys :

"Ifelemn from a gentleman just come from the
Pend (Mr. A. Wright), that Mr. Giles and his staff of
engineers are actively engaged on the railway between
the Bend and Shediac, and that a gang of over 60 men
are now actually employed making clearances along the
route, &c. It is expected that the line will be located
in a week or ten days, the surveys being now almost
Completed, when front five to six hundred men will at
once be set to work. A number of the French inhabi-
tants are anxiously waiting for the commencement of
operations on a large scale, ready to be employed, and
willing to work, when they are sure of cash payments.
The men now employed are paid five dollars a week,
paid weekly in cash—a novel mode of payment in that
district. The wages were thought too small at first ;
but the men, after some hesita,tiou' accepted them, with
the understanding that after the first month each man
was to be paid what he was thought to be worth."
There are no later Australian. arrivals. The con-
tinental letters are more favourable as to the
weather and harvest prospects.
The English stocks have been rather duller, and
the decline in the quotations at Paris has some in-
fluence. This is partly attributable to the realisa-
tion of profits there, but the rumour was also current
that unfavourable accounts had been received from
St. Petersburgh. Consols have been 984 4 for both
money and time. The New at per Cents. have

The Land Companies' Shares are heavy, and the
Gold Mines a little more in demand.

GREAT REGATTA AT BRIGHTON.

The three days' grand aquatic meeting at Brighton,
which for some time past has given promise of possessing
,cstures of importance, interest, and attraction not to be
'ound elsewhere round the coast, commenced yesterday,
lihder the patronage of the Marquis sof Bristol, and sevenl
her distinguished noblemen and gentlemen; and although
eunastances, over which the committee could have no
control, rendered it necessary to defer a portion of the
pert to the second and third days, the great schooner race
,sr 120 guineas amply compensated the visitors for tho
L''stponement, and for eery other deviation from the pro-
"ed course which necessarily forced itself upon the ma-

dents and visitors of this very fashionable watering-place
;'llflice it to say that the prizes were most handsome and
„_aried, embracing craft of every tonnage in the habit of
7113peting on the English waters, and the attendance of
C'lnPany extremely great. The very beautiful weather
atliforded every inducement to lovers of the sport to avail
oreselvea of the means of transit provided per railway
1,141 excursion steam-boats, and there was one almost
line of of spectato-7s from Rottingdean to Shoreham,
t• e course being so judiciously selected as to afford a beau-
