The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, wa)
gead.Y. Saks, 5,000 bales at former prices. Railway
Shares Were firm, with a fair business doing, and prices
had rather advanced.
We have some important arrivals to-day from East
ad West.
The overland mail furnishes interesting mercantile
news from the different presidencies, and besides what
appears in another column of The Sun, we may
state that the account sales transmitted homt-
Lire much more favourable than they have
been of late, and that both as to business
done and prices obtained, the statements are
encouraging. With moderate shipments, and to order only ,
the dian and China markets might again offer to the
terchant and the mauufactur,r what they: have
I"ng ceased to afford, viz , a " living profit." Hubert.
it has been, except to m-re commission houses, ont.
been
course of " loss, loss, loss," and the result has
Deen shown in the downfall of firms once possessed
of immense pecuniary resources. Money at Calcutta
and Bombay was very easy, and the banks
Were affording accommodation, where satisfied with
the security tendered, at lower rates than previously.
The low figure for bills of exchange was a drawback.
but the produce, markets were expected to benefit by
anything like a continuous demand fur British raanufac-
UV.

Iu Ceylon the efforts of some ill-judging Europeans to
excite the Kandians to dissatisfaction and non-payment
er taxes, had resulted in an outbreak, which, at one
Period, was of a formidable bearing. The instigators
were chiefly parties residing in maritime places, and tip.
Ithuddist priests. It is to be remembered that in 1817
the Xandians rebelled, when there was no question of
excessive taxes. The following brief account, will
allay, however, the uneasiness that might be felt :
"Happily but few lives have been lost owing to the ac-
tive measures taken by the authorities for the restora-
tion of order—about one hundred of the rebels have met
their just fate from the fire of our soldiers, and above
three hundred of all ranks, including affair proportion
rpriests, await their trial for high treason. Two rebels
hate been already put to death by sentence of court-
martial—one of them the pretended King's brother—
leas shot at Kornegalle, the second, Porong Appoo, a
toted robber, was executed in Kandy a few days since,
and the capture of the King (?) himself is daily ex.
Peeked. Our troops are scouring the country in all di-
rections, and the peace of the island may be considered
A 8 now definitively secured."
The West India papers advert favourably to the wea-
ther, the prospect of the crops, and the behaviour of the
labourers; but trade was miserably dull, money very
earce, confidence at an unusually low ebb, and every.
body " out of spirits." It was expected that the Legis-
lature would grant aid to the Planters' Bank.
The Continental accounts received this morning still
excite a feeling adverse to that of security, and it is
hared there will be much trouble yet. The Bank
Of France return is more favourable. _ _ _

The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received.the,following from Messrs. Manning and
Alackintosh. under date Mexico, Aug. 12:—" We have
the satisfaction to hand herewith a copy of an order
Issued by the Minister of Finance to separate and pay
over the twenty per cent. belonging to the bondholders
°at of the duties collected by the Americans since the
ratification of the treaty of peace. We are unable to
lay by this packet the precise amount that has been re-
ceived by the Americans, and that will have to be
divided, but we believe it to be from 300,000.t0 400,000
dollars.
" In respect to the cotton: licenses, the ports of the
republic having been until now in the possession of the
Americans, it has of course been impossible to dispose in
,an,yr way of these securities."
the English Stock Market has been very firm to-day,
although business is as quiet as ever. Consols have
"Wised 8614 for Transfer, and 86/1 for Accoun.s Ex-

the transactions have not been extensive.
