CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, the sales
were 4,000 bales, at firm rites. Railway Shares, although
net very active, had an upward tendency.
The nanaburgli mail brings letters of Tuesday's date.
Money was easy, and the employment for it not very
general or profitable. At Vienna, as at Berlin and other
places, all commercial operations were unhinged by the
political excitement, and it had been found necessary by
Imperial order to allow parties having bills due between
October 6 and November 20, to postpone for one month
from the date the payment thereof.
It is curious to note the progress of the French colony
of Algiers. On the Ist of January last, the population
was 104,000, en the 30th of June 99,000, being a falling
off. The number of the French colonists was 55,000,
of the Spanish, 28,000; Italian, 7,000 ; Maltese, 6,000 ;
Germans, 2,300 ; Belgians and Dutch, 1,400 ; Swiss,
&c., 1,200. It does not appear that there were many
English.
The Liverpool Financial Reform Association may
find some encouragement for perseverance in its
present lino of policy, by the example of some
Continental countries. Bowed beneath the intoler-
able burden of taxation, even the French Govern-
ment, with its prestige of glory and its passion for sol-
diering, must needs dismiss some portion of its standing
army, and considering the danger of unpopularity with
the unreflecting multitude, the step is held and laudable.
Belgium, tee, has reduced its war budget, and with other
economical arrangements, will have a surplus of income
during the coming year, instead of a deficiency, as is
the case now. Other countries when once relieved of
the care of their present safety, will have to follow the
example, and England has her work yet to perform !
The Board of Trade returns for the present year,
and to October tho 10th, aro not very cheering,
taken as a whole, but the last month or two gives evi-
dences of improvement, which lead to the hope that we
have reached the " turning point." The exports last
September were very little below those of the cor-
responding period of 1847, and although upon the year
there was a deficiency of nearly five and a half millions,
this arose in the months re,cceeding the French revolu-
tion, and has been gradually lessening since July. The
branches of our commerce which are most important are
those which seem to be rallying, as there is an increase
in the exports of cotton and woollen fabrics. The state
of affairs abroad will retard manufacturing industry, and
proportionably diminish the competition against as in the
Eastern and American markets. Of all staples pro-
duced in the colonies and foreign countries, we have
largely imported this year, and it is, therefore, the more
important to foster our export businese.
The transactions in the Produce Markets have been
limited this week, and prices for Sugar and Coffee have
ruled heavy, owing to the full supply.
The Funds are very firm to day, although there is
but little doing. Consols are 86} k. The account of the
French Bourse being more favourable has a goal
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have bee❑
851 to 86, and the Three per Cents. 85i to -I. Bank
Stock has been firm at 188. Exchequer-bills are 375. to
405., and India Bonds 345. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been very dull. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 111. Mexican Bonds 21 to -1,
Grenada 13, and Chilian 84k. Portuguese Four per
Cents, are nominally 23k to 24k. Dutch Two-and-ae
Half per Cents, have been 45k.
The Railway Share Market is firm again, in the ab-
sence of speculation to any extent, and we still antici-
pate a rise before the account day. North British,
Scottish Central, the York lines, Eastern Counties,
North-Western, and Midland are higher. Brighton
and South-Western steady.
