There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverposl
yesterday, and prises of American eesee id, per lb.
lower. The sales were estimated at about 3,500 t=ales to
the trade, including 2,500 American, 400 Pernam and
Maranham at Od. to 6id., and 400 Surat at 44d. to
44d. per lb.—There was a brisk deurend for Railway '
Shares at improved quotations.
The letters from the United States have been de-
livered this morning, and the following are interesting
extracts blaring upon commercial topics. From New
York we hate the following table showing the quantity
of acme of the principal articles of produce left at tide-
water, from the commencement of navigation to the
14th of Nov. inclusive, during the years 1847, '49, and
'49, the canal in those years having been opened on the
Ist day of May:—
RECEIPTS OF PRODUCE AT TIDE-WATER.

Corn do. 5,779,951 2,706,890 4,915,077
The receipt of breadstuffs from the 14th of November
to the close of navigation last y, ar were 560,356 barrels
flour, 445,708 bushels wheat, 219,877 bushels Indian
corn, and 241,675 bushels barley. The arrivals of In-
dian corn have, for some time past, been limited, and
the aggregate, at the close of nevigution this year, pro.
b bly K ill not compare so favourably with last 3 ear as
it does now.
A reduction of postage was contemplated by the
Government at Washington.
It is asserted that Mr. Squier, the United States
Chargé to the Central American Republics, having re-
ceived information cf the intention o'' the English to
seize the island of Tigre, belonging to Honduras, and
commanding the entire Pacific Ocean, negotiated a treaty
with Honduras, the terms of which have not transpired,
but it is inferred from the following circular, addressed
to the various foreign legations and other officials in
Central America, that the United States have received
important concessions from Honduras:—
Legation of the United States, in Central America.
Leon de Nicaragua, Sept. 28th, 1849.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the island
of Tigre, in the Gulf of Fonseca, has been ceded to the
United States of North America, by the Republic of
Honduras, for the time pending constitutional action
upon an existing convention between the two Re-
publics, and that, accordingly, speedy possession will
be taken of the same, upon behalf of the United States.
The existing port and other regulations of the island
will be continued until otherwise ordered.
1 have also the honour to add, that the United States
has acquired interests in the western islands Red coasts
of Honduras, which will not permit her to look with in-
difference upon eny measures wl.ich shall affect the pre-
sent order of things in that quarter.
I am, Sir, with high consideration,
Your obedient servant,
• (Signed) E. GEO. SQUIER.
Costa Rica, it is also affirmed, was in a state of, great
exci,ernent.
From Equador we learn that " The electoral struggle
is at its utmost height. No one in the Republic thinks
now of unythirg but of who is to be the President. The
Opposition has brought a battering ram, consisting of
eleven illantils, all enrolled against the Government,
and battering at it."
In l\-ru Congress was engaged in the discussion of
several new Bills. One of them is to prohibit the Pre-
sident from taking away the special privilege from the
lino of steamers now running between Valparaiso and
Petfama.
At Valparaiso, to Sept. 29, not much was doing in
English goods. In that month generally, however, the
sales are not very large for interior consumption, in
consequence of the taking up of nearly half the month
by religious festivities. A Danish barque arrived this
month from Canton, bringing an invoice of silken goods,
mats, teas, &e. Notwithstanding the lateness of the
reason, some advantageous sales were made, chiefly of
cloths; the other articles met with little demand.
Bolivia was in an unsettled state.
A proposition has been brought forward by one
Cjrtes, to put up again to auction the monopoly of
Cassantha Bank, which was given to the house of Pinta.
It is probable this measure will be adopted, and that
the existing contract will be antsulled.
The Bolivian Government has given orders to the
prefects to take an account of all forced levies and
contributions made during the revolutionary crisis.
It cannot, however, be with the intention of laying
them, for the financial situation of Bolivia is most la-
mentable.
The Echo, of Villaclova (Cuba), of the 27th October,
states that the rains have been very heavy and incessant
there for some times pat. These are the tropical rains,
which form the winter of the Cuba climate.
The Tana, of Pert° Principe, of the 26th ult., com-
plains that the rains have set in continuous, and so heavy
as to be insufferable.
The Canadian mercantile advices are more encourag-
ing, and even the political feeling was. much more
against annexation.
From Lower Canada, under date of the 17th ult., it
is stated that "The weather continues delightfully mild,
for the season. Tile ground is as free from snow as in
the middle of June, and out-dour labour can be pursued
with even more comfort than at that period of the year.
All the fears entertained respecting a short supply of
fodder for the cattle during the winter have been dissi-
pated by the unprecedented openness of the season. It
is seldom, indeed, that cur farmers are so highly favoured
us they are this year, their stock, up to the 17th No-
vember, being enabled to graze in the fields, while in
ordinary years they are pent up for the winter in stall
geeerally a fortnight before this time."
The Hemburgh letters and pipers of Friday bring the
rate of ex change at 13 10. There had nut been much
doing in Funds and Shares. The Elbe was closed to
navigation, and the market was quieter for staples. At
St. Petersburg!), on the 20. h ult., Three Months' Bills
on London were 37 5 16 to 7 16.
In the Amsterdam Market on the 2d inst., there was
a good business doing in Peuinsular Stocks at advancing
rates.
