(From The *Suit lust Night.)

The Cotton _Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, raid
nriees were steady. Sales 4,500 bales. American, 4d. to
5%d. Shares were tolerably well supported.
a tie ovie hued ex pr ess, in anticipation of he mail, does not
bring more cheerful intelligence respecting the state of
the impart market eit:ier at Calcutta or Bombay, and it
seems probble that some time will elapse ere matters right
themselves. As has been so ofter remarked under this head,
extreme caution will be requisite in making shipments of
manufactures here and purchases of produce in India, in
order to make the trade mutually beneficial.
There is nothing striking in the advices from the United
States, because they were scarcely a day later. The republic
of Mexico, as far as present appearances go, seems doomed
to fall a prey to the superior power of her antagonist. Cali-
fornia is the present land of promise to the Americans, and
they are sedulous to collect " full particulars " as to the value
of their intended acquisition. Alluding to the trade of
Monterey. it is stated that 50 ships entered last year.
Of the.se 5 were vessels of war, 5 were whale ships, and 48
were merchant vessels. And again, the 58 vessels may
be classified thus :-23 ships, 17 barques, 8 brigs, and 10
schooners.
Although contrary to the laws of Mexico, the Governor
and Generals of Oalifornia, before the independence of
Mexico, and always since that period, have allowed the
coasting trade, from San Diego to San Francisco, to all
foreign vessels which have paid their duties at Monterey.
From San Diego to Bi4lega the country is fast filling up.
Mills are building, new inventions are imported, vessels are
building, and in a few years the Pacific ports of Mexico can
be supplied with Californian schooners and brigs. Mexico
has no ports on the Pacific that can vie with those of Cali-
fornia in natural advantages; her only Pacific wharf is in
Monterey. The Pueblo de los Angeles has now a large popu-
lation, many of its citizens becoming wealthy from their
ranchos and vineyards. At this place can be found excellent
wine and aquardiente, and the best grapes in the world.
Some fifteen or twenty carriages and gigs can be seen on a
paseo at a time. With all its natural advantages, the country
could be still further advanced, if Mexico would send hither
but 200 good soldiers (not vagabonds), place them under the
command of the natives, and without fail send them 100,000
dollars a-year. This method would soon create amicable
feelings towards the Supreme Government, and nothing else
will.
The Stock Market continues to droop, and there is a de-
cline again of IA per cent. in the quotations. Consols are
9534 1A for Money, and about 1/s per cent. above those rates
for time. Exchequer-bills are fiat, at ss. to 7a. premium.
Bank Stock is firm at 2091%. but India Stock has been
down to 2601/2 and 259. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 97% to 97%, and the Three per
Cents. 96 to 9614. South Sea Stock is .07.
The Foreign Investments are less dealt in than yesterday,
but nominally t hey maintain their value. Portuguese Four
per Cents. are 4 1/2 to 42, and Brazilian 90. The Porte
guese market is advanced by occasional purchases. Russian
Bonds have been at 1131/2. Dutch Two- and-a-Half per
Cents. brig 591/2 to 60; and Belgian Two-and-a- Half per
Cents. 551/2.
Shares are flat, and there are more sellers than buyers.
The long list of lines sanctioned this session has undoubtedly
surprised many, and excited timidity among the holders.
