11 .—Aps of Cotton at; Liverpool yesterday v:ere from
THE NORTHERN STATES. .4,0c0 to 5,000 lab s, wiih a quiet market end no ma-
, teriri charge in prices.—ln Railway Shares a fair busi-
ness was denz at advanced prices. The market closed
firmly.
From the manufacturing districts we are a lvised ge-
nerally that business was still rather quiet, though in a
wkodesorne ccndition.
The Bank of England weekly statement to the 22d
instant shows a marked reduction in the active Note
circliation, but not in any respect arising from di-
mini shed business. The public deposits are now being
daily added to, and, as a matter of course, payment of
duti,rs, &c., to a large extent is made in notes. It is,
inde ed, satisfactory: to observe that the advances
uporx other securities have increased, although
we cannot,. entirely ascribe the change to
groater activity of business, but partly to the
loans usually re quired when the transfer books are shut.
Alluding to recent weekly statements, which pretty
nearly resemble the return we are now commenting on,
the editor of the Bankers' Magazine remarks:—
" The most noticeable feature in these returns is the
increase in the private securities to the extent of about
half a milli( n. They are Low as high as they were in
the early part of the year, before the market rates of dis-
count became so much depressed; and the inference to
be drawn is, that at 3 per cent. the merchants find it
advantageous to apply to the Bank."
Compared with the previous week's return, the resu
is as follows:

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Government has authorised the re-
opening of the gaming-houses at Aix-la• Chapelle,
which were closed last year by order of the German
Parliament. This is one, among many other proofs of
the superior care which a paternal Government takes
of the morals of its subjects.
it is said that Russia has demanded the destruc-
tion of the Prussian constitution, the restoration of
Absolutism, and the reunion of the Duchy of Posen
to Prussia.

The gross amount of Bank notes of all the private and
joint-stock establishments, circulated in England, Ire-
land, and Scotland during the four weeks to September
8, was 31,111,8781., being 225,8911. less than at the same
time last year.
As regards the Foreign Exchanges yesterday after-
noon there was a slight decline in the rates for Bills on
Paris, Frankfort, and Trieste, but an advance upon
Ilamburgh and Antwerp.
The exports of the precious metals from London this
week have been large, viz., 431,000 ounces of silver, all
to the Continent, except 1,300 ounces, and 11,100 ounces
of gold.
An American (New York) contemporary states con-
cerning the postal communication between that city and
our West India colonies, as follows :
" We learn that letters have been received in this
city by the British mail steamers- from the West Indies
at uric-third the postage that has to be paid on those
sent by the same steamers from this city to any one of
those islands. We were yesterday shown a single letter,
mailed at Point- Pitre, Guadaloupe, on the 27th ult.,
and the postage prepaid to this city was one franc and
twenty-five centimes, or twenty-five cents of our money,
and on delivery here five cents additional was charged,
making the total postage thirty cents. To send a
reply to Guadaloupe, the writer cannot make use of our
post-office at the same rate, but is compellt d to go to
the ' outside offices,' and pay 75 cents. on a single
letter. This almost amounts to a prohibition, and puts
a stop to all but the most urgent correspondence between
the islands and the United States. We suppose that
the 'outside offices' have a right to charge) what they
please, and we, therefore, find no fault with them. But
we call upon the Postmaster-General to take this matter
in hand, and see if he cannot effect some arrangement
by which the rate of postage to and from the islands
may be reduced and equalized."
The Funds have been very quiet, but tolerably steady.
