CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
languid, nod prices were rather lower then on Friday.
The sales were estimated at about 4,000 bales, end com-
prised 3,000 American at 4d. to Su.; 250 Pernams and
Maranhan at 41. to Sid.; 150 Egyptian et Sid. to Sid.;
300 Surat at 34d. to 4d.; and 30 Sea Lien(' at 9d. to 10d.
per lb. Railway shari s continued very heavy.
The arrivals from Portugal, together with the ordi-
nary. Coetineetal mails and the expresses from Liver-
pool, coupled tsith the hourly expectation of the receipt
of later ece from India, have kept City people
quite on tht qui rive, but really, as tar as would appear,
without any insist rof importance having reached. Very
severe wilts:set version is C2it upon the garbled, exagge-
rated, and in suing cases wholly fabricated reports traes •
usitted from Paris; the latest notable instance being in
respect to the alleged rerelotiou at Amsterdam. So far
from any thine s bents; amiss in that city, we know by ad-
vises et Sunday's date that all was quiet, and that a large
busioCsS had bsen done a; it rally of 1 per cent.
The steamer Europa, arrived from New York, hrir gs
late evict's. The exchange was 1071 to 108. Th. re
was o
.nrevs of interest. Breadstuffs were de-
clining, and not, much was doing in Cettore but holders
were nut pressing sales. Freight- unaltr red. The new
Piesideut had deliver, d his inaugural address, and its
tone is ,avuurabie both as respects hurne and foreign
affairs.
Accounts from Sydney of November 7th, from
Van Di, men's Laud, and from Port Phillip of
October 27th, have come to hand. There was to be a
partition of the landed property of the !stank of Aus-
tralia, khich had cost 60,000 h From Moreton Buy it is
stated that the clip of the season was fast arriving, but
that low prices current in England gave anything but a
cheering prospect to the future operations of the squat-
ters. Great anxiety was manifested for an improve-
ment in the English Wool Market, and there would be
extensive boilleg down fur Tallow. The wet weather
which had been experienced in the southern districts lad
not visited Moreton Bay, where it was as fine as could be
desired for shearing operations.
At Sydney the want of money was much felt, and
trade was dull.
We learn from Port Phillip that there was every ap-
pearance of most luxuriant crops in the neighbourhood
of Melbourne. The Government was about to dispose
of its lands in the neighbourhood of Melbourne, where'
the sheepboiling had previously been carried on.
A statement of the circulation and business of the
various banks shows there were 600,0001. in specie in the
four banks. In the quarter ending the 30,11. September
there was a decrease in the circulation of all the Banks,
and the discounts also exhibited a reduction. The de-
posits, also, were smaller.
Moxhay, well known as the proporietor of the
Hall of Commerce, died, alter a short illness, and which,
according to the general belief, was occasioned, to a
great extent, by the iii success of his undertaking, which
must have entailed severe loss upon him. Mr. Moxhay
was of somewhat brusque manners, but of excellent in-
tentions, and even oeyond what his means might be held
to justify, according to worldly appreciation, was a libe-
ral contributor to various charities, both from his purse,
and in placing his splendid hall, at the disposal of the
committees who superintended the periodical meetings.
The Funds have been rather firmer this morning, but
are stili in an uncertain state, the fall of two per cent. rat
the French hentes having had an effect, although the
reasons assigned for the decline are perfectly inconsis-
tent. and it would be much more plausible to admit that
the general state of European affairs is the prime cause.
