Toe sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
ineluJing 4,000 American, 200 Pernam and Ma-
ranham, 500 Surat, and 150 Sea Island. Of the above,
1,000 American were ou speculation, and 500 Surat for
export. The market closed quietly, and prices were
without alteration.—ln Railway Shares a fair business
was done at rather higher prices.
From official returns made up, it is found that Ireland
has steadily increased her reliance upon foreign countries
and colonies tor supplies of food, which she could her-
self so amply produce, and although her exports to
England must be taken into account as balancing them,
they have not proportionably increased. We may beat
illustrate this by arranging the more voluminous statis-
tics before us into a condensed tabular Corm. First, we
take the total imports of grain, and of meal and flour,
fur the ycal-s sv.cifiecl, the grain being given in quarters,
and the flour in cwts.

into Ireland from Great Britain, they were:—ln 1839,

cwts. 52,813; 1845, qrs. 68,464, and cwts. 61,301; 1846,

and ewts. 1,678,092; 1848, qrs. 747,757, and cwts.
572,987 cwts.

Perhaps it may be interesting to refer to the progress
of emigration during tho period above comprehended;
and although we take the number of steerage passengers
only, and distinguish Great Britain from Ireland, it is
notorious that nearly all the emigrants from Liverpool,
and they amounted to 131,000 last year, were Irish, con-
iequently we must add largely from the number under
the head of Great Britain to that distinguished as
Ireland— _ _ _

We could desire that in former years the official sta-
tistics upon this and other heads had been better kept,
but believe there is more inclination now to attend to

this point.
In the llamburgh market last Friday money was
abundant, the rate of exchange being 13.10 on London,
and with a good demand for bills on London. At Am-
sterdam, on the 25th instant, Spanish and Portuguese
Stocks were higher. In the Frankfort Bourse, on the
24th instant, Austrian Bonds were quoted 87, and at
Vienna on the 22d they were 94*.
The feeling in reference to the influence of the low
value of money, which nevertheless is not quite so
cheap as one or two of our contemporaries have
stated, bids fair to run to an extravagant length unless
checked by a little judicious reflection. On one side we
hear of wagers iu favour of Consols being at par before
July next, then of a supposed determination of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to reduce the rate of in-
terest on Consols to 2 per cent., or, as some say, even to
I*, and that the stanard of gold, owing
to the influx from Calitornia, is to be re-
duced. Again, coffee, cotton, tallow, sugar, everything
in fact, is to rise materially, and there is even to be no
sugar left ere long (vide a tabular statement in the
Morning Past), while we can scarcely enumerate the
host of similar crotchets which leeset the habitues of
our City subscription-rooms, as well as of the Ex-
changes. It will ne readily conceded that to a certain
limit there may be truth in all these impressions, suppos-
ing, as mathematicians have it, that all other things remain
the same, that is supposing tranquillity is preserved, foreign
loans are tabooed, Californian gold steadily arrives, and
no new outlet is found for accumulating capital. It be-
hoves every one interested to be cool and calculating,
however much on the alert, for these aro times when
excitement is in the ascendant, and the Bank of Eng-
land example is in all quarters cited as authority for
proceedings it never was intended to warrant.
The Funds have been exceedingly buoyant. Consols
opened at 95k, touched 95k, and aro now 95/ j for
Transfer. Time bargains have been effected as high as
95* The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
realised 944 to 95, and the Three per Cents. 94k to k.
Bank Stock has risen to 199 and 200. Exchequer-bills
are lower, the revival of confidence promoting a transfer
from the floating to the fixed debt.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds have
been 17* , and the Three per Cents. 37* to j. Portu-
guese Four per Cents. have been 34k, and Brazilian 864.
Mexican have risen to 27* Grenada are- 15t, and
Buenos Ayres 44. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been marked 54:1 to 55.
Railway Shares are all higher, and there is an in-
creased disposition to do business.
