CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bales, includirg 2,500 American on speculation. The
market is steady.
We have not any late arriyals to announce today
from the British colonies.

The following extract contains some interesting facts
relative to the Cotton, trade, crops, Sze., which must be of
interest here and at Liverpool:—
" The cotton year closing on the Ist September, it
now appears that the crop of 1845-6, as indicated by the
receipts at the shipping ports, amounts to 2,073,529
bales, in comparison with 2,391,503 bales of the crop of
1844-5, being a difference of 320,974 bales ; the amount
of the crop of the State of Texas, 27,008 bales, being
added this year, makes the crop of the United
States now 2,100,000 bales. This crop was gene-
rally estimated at 2,400,000 bales up to the
Ist of January last, in consequence of the healthy state
of the plant during the whole growing season —a late
frost, and the picking season being the longest and most
favourable on record ; and, in fact, it was only in Feb-
ruary last that the estimates at New Orleans and Mobile,
of the best informed persons, were reduced to 2,100,000
bales, the receipts of those ports falling far short of the no-
minal growth. The quantity taken for home use this last
season, stands at 422,597 bales against 389,000 bales
last year, and 346,744 the year before. Of the present
crop, the quantity received at the shipping ports is about
300 bales against 8,700 last year. In all remarks
during the growing season, we have referred to
the backward state of the plant, and to the excessive wet
and unpropitious weather, and latterly to the estimated
injury of the army worm, and the boll worm; of the
latter the complaints have ceased to any large extent;
but, inconsequence of the first, the picking proceeds very
slowly, and it is evident that the growing crop will,
under any circumstances, and even if frost should not
appear till November, be under an average one.
There are no late arrivals this morning, except the
usual mails from tho Continent. According to the ac-
counts from Hamburgh, some districts in Germany will
stiffer considerably from the deficiency of the rye crop;
but the failure of the potato crop will not be so extensive
as was apprehended a month ago. Emigration to Ame-
rica was still going forward on an extensive scale, not-
withstanding the lateness of the season, particularly from
the districts bordering on the Rhine.
The leading subject of interest is the accounts re-
ceived from Ireland yesterday, announcing the first
contact with the military. and the peasantry from the
failure of the potato crop in that unhappy section of the
empire. Similar collisions to that which appear to hare
occurred at Dungarvan, are, however, not unlikely to
follow in other districts,and as nobody can clearly see how
it is possible for the Government to proceed against them,
a priori, an increasing degree of anxiety is felt for the re-
sult in the money market. In the meanwhile the price
on provisions keeps steadily advancing in the county mar-
kets in England, and there is no doubtwhatever that many
of the farmers are so ill advised that they are withhold-
ing the usual supplies under the impression that they
will obtain a further advance.
