CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a steady matket for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, at full rates. The sales were estimated at
7 000 bales, of which speculators and exporters took
2,000 bales.—Reil*ay Shares were in moderate request,
and prices were a shade better.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 455. Id. per
quarter, end the quantity sold in the provincial markets.
which regulate the duties, has been 80.090 quarters.
The Amsterdam Bourse on the 12th inatatit was
rather better. The Two and•a Half per Cent. Dutch
Steck realised 49 3 16 to 494. At Frankfort on the
11 instant very little business was doing.
In addition to the very promising accounts received
in town from California, there is verbal cerroboratien
afforded by Mr. Suwerkrop, a highly intel
ligent gentleman, who was Danish Consul at
the Sandwich Islands, and is now in London.
This gentleman has personally visited the " diggins," and
speaks in the highest Lei ins of the prospects of the
country, not alone in reference to metallic riches, but
likewise in respect of agricultural cat abilities. The
view from the higher range of hills is described as being
extremely beatritul, and the soil as very rich. Oo one
point only dues Mr. Suwerkrop seem to express
a doubt, viz., as to the eligibility of the site of
San Francisco. Originally the object of placing it
where it stands was to have a land communication with
Monterey, but this advantage appears to be counter-
balanced by the lees convenient access which shipping
have, compared with the opposite entrance of the
bay. Once iu this expansive water, the navigation
presents but little difficulty, and for some distance
up the Sacramento sea-going vessels of moderate
tonnage may be takt n. Mr. Suwerkrop has a
steamer building of four hundred tons, which he will
tmploy in California, and at no distant day there
will be a railroad at least part of the distanct to th,
United States, tor rail-road making in America is a verb
diff. rent affair to our costly s) stem. Thu land is
to be had tor nothing, the timher is a substitute for iron.
and the labour is the chief desideratum. That the sub
j ct already t xcites attention we may learn from the fol-
luaing statement in an American journal:—
"The propriety and expediency of constructing a rail-
road across the American continent, to connect the
Mississippi with the Pacific Ocean, is rapidly growing in
public favour in the western and south-western states.
So iaveurebiy impressed are the citizens or ttio,e regions
with the project, its feasibility and advantageousness,
that the people of Arkansas, in convention assembled,
have called a convention of people on the 4th of
July next, at Memphis, to take the subject into
consideration. In accordance with the invitation, the
Governor of South Carolina has requested the attend-
ance of one hundred and twenty distiuguished citizens
of that state at the convention, and we have no doubt
that other states will fellow the example. The time is
fast approaching when such a work as this must be con-
structed, but, in the meantime, it will be well to finish
other works of a similar character now commenced."
From all the information we have collected we have
no hesitation in affirming that California will for some
time offer a great field to the hardy and industrious, as
well as to the mere experienced merchant, but that cau-
tion in all respects will be needful.
The important inreltigence from Paris, suggestive too,
as it undoubtedly is, of future difficulties and of great
uncertainty, has not affected the English Stock Mat ket,
confidence growing daily stronger that this country
will not interfere in foreign affairs, but quietly look on.

Railway Shares have been very steady, and in the ab-
sence of any dealings of importance prices must be called
much the same.
