- At Liverp(ol yesterday the sales of Cotton were 4,000
bales, about half of which was on" speculati( n. Prices
were steadily supported v.t an advance of nearly id. per
lb. con- pared with last wen.—Shares were quieter, and
not so high.
Altt.ough the market generally was not so strong, yet
a good business was done at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s
sale of Railway Shares yesterday, at steady prices ; and
buyers came forward with spirit for the better descrip-
tions of stock. The following are a few of the prin-
cipal sales

The arrival of the Ashburton packet-ship has put
all our City folks on the qui vice, for the
President's message has long been regarded as
a document of great interest to City men. Having
ourselves carefully" per use d the whole document, and
heard freely expressed the opinions of some of the
leading men in the American trade, we may fairly
express an opinion upon it as a whole, and which
taking the circumstances into consideration, and
the position in which a President stands towards
those who elect him, is certainly favourable. Mr.
Alk's history of the differences with Mexico, since
the year 1837, and his reflections upon the present
imbroglio, are •as impartial as could be expected,
though it is impossible to deny that he
does " blink " the question, and " lugs " in
matters that were never b&ore alleged to
have provoked the present war. However, passons
parovela, the Mexicans undoubtedly have broken faith
in money matters, and Brother Jonathan has improved
upon their example by diregarding the rights of nations
besides.
The anticipations of advantage to both England and the
United States by the important modifications in the
respective tariffs are no doubt just, and will tend to con-
firm the tendency to liberty of commerce. As to the
new loan required to prosecute the Mexican war, it may
be hoped that it will not be raised, either wholly or
in part, in England, not only because we have
ample employment for all our surplus cash at home, and
the result of former loans has been so disastrous, but
likewise because any loan operation tends to derange
the exchanges which, with our present heavy corn im-
ports, it is highly desirable to keep uninfluenced by other
than trading balances.
The steamer from Halifax is now hourly expected.
The English Funds have not alternated to any extent
to-day ; but although they have not recovered the de-
pression of yesterday, or the effect of the sales then
pressed in the New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents, &c.,
the market for Consols is less fluctuating, and the cur-
rent values have been 93g to 94. New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 95i to 4. Bank Stock is worth
205. Exchequer Bills have been Bs. to 11s. premium,
being rather flat again.
In the Foreign Market arrangements are making for
to-morrow's settlement, which is likely, however, to be a
very small matter. Mexican Stock for Account has
risen to 24k; and Peruvian Bonds have been dull at 394.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 37f, being
a slight decline; and Spanish Three per Cents. have re-
ceded to 38 and 374. Austrian Bonds have been at 108.
The Share account is being now adjusted. This is
" name," and to-morrow will be "pay-day." The values
of the principal lines of railway have been tolerably well
supported, but there has not been much doing. Aber-
deen are rather lower, but Caledonian firm.
