There was very little doing in Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and prices, although not quoted lower, hive
rather a declining tendency. Sales 4,000 bales.—Rail-
way Shares were greatly depressed, and prices in all
cases lower.

Cape of Good Hope papers to the 25th of January
state that the colony was in a favourable pod Lion, and
that there was nothing new from the frontier.

The Corn Market is exceedingly heavy again to-day,
the arrivals of foreign being very large.
By reference to returns of the consumption cf many
principal articles of food, we find an increase on the
whole, and this, in turn, may be expected to act favourably
on the revenue.

The Dee steamer is still anxiously expected. She is
over due, and parties having freight on board are in-
clined to offer higher terms for insurance, although no
particular arxicty is felt.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORNEXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The total quantity of English Wheat received up to our
1 market since Saturday evening, has been only 420 quar-
ters, in somewhat improved condition. The show of
samples to-day was small in the extreme; yet, owing to
the pressure of foreign qualities, the demand for all kinds
of Wheat of home produce was heavy, at almost nominal
currencies. The imports of foreign Wheat since Satur-
day evening have been 15,430 quarters, chiefly from the
continent. Selected samples were mostly held at full
prices, but all other kinds ruled heavy, at barely late
rates. Upwards of 12,000 quarters of Barley have come
in from abroad. This large addition to our supply
produced considerable heaviness in the Barley trade,
and prices were with difficulty supported.
Malt, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly,
at unaltered quotations. An immense influx of foreign
Oats has taken place this week, the total quantity being
48,830 quarters; but from Ireland no supply has reached
us. Most kinds of Oats were the turn lower. Beans,
Peas, and all other articles were neglected.

B.ftnr the 14t of A t,ril nyxt, the following elLes -AM be

The accounts received to-day from the Continent are
rather satisfactory again in respect to political affairs,
although doubt continues to be thrown upon the Danish
armistice. One would suppose that the Prussian Consul
would scarcely intimate, as he did officially five days
since for the information of the shipping interest, that
the armistice will be prolonged, if it were not so. Un-
doubtedly. however, people's hopes and fears aro much
excited. The Italian accounts are satisfactory, and it
is said that France has again proffered its mediatory
offices to Charles Albert.
