In the Liverpool Cotton Market the sales on Saturday
Were 3,000 to 4,000 bales, all to the trade, and at study
rates. In Shares not much was done.

. The Niagara steamer furnishes late intelligence from
the United States and Canada. From New York it is
stated that " the exportation of Bacon, Beans, and Lard
to the ports of Qreat. Britain this season has been un-
usually large. These articles have been exceedingly
active this year. The receipts at tide water have been
large, and the shipments have about kept pace with the
increased supply. We have have had a fair trade this
season with the West Indies and with British North
America; but the aggregate shipments of all our pro-
ducts, except Cotton. have been limited, compared with
last year.
" The exports of breadstuffs from the United States
to great Britain were as follows:
Flour brls. Meal brim. Wheat bush. Corn bush.
Sept. 1, 1847, to
latest-dates 1849.3 160,086 98,444 174,943 1,763,497

latest dates 1847.

Decrease 1848...... 2,613,235 697,139 2,880,359 11,796,210
Resides these, there were shipped lasi year, up to the
middle of July, 77,752 bushels of rye, 435,423 bushels of
oats, and 271,103 bushels of birlt.y. This year none of
these grains have been ahippd to Great Britain. The
immense falling off in the qeantity of flour, meal, wheat,
and corn shipped, compared with last ) ear, dues not give
. a correct idea of the decrease in value, as the decrease
in prices since has been a large per cent. As au in-
stance of this. it is only necessary to state that
the average price for nearly the whole shipment of flour,
up to this time last year, was above 7 dollars per barrel,
while the price of that shipped thus far this season will
not average much over 5 dollars per barrel. This dif-
ference in price, in connexion with the difference in
quantity, makes an immense difference in the value of
exports of breadatuffs in. the two years. The same re-
marks will apply to Corn, Wheat, and Meal. This vast
falling off in the value of our exports, with a correspond-
ing decrease in the value of our imports, is the prime
cause of the financial embarrassments under which we
now labour. It is estimated that the value of our ex-
ports this season, compared with that for the corre-
sponding period last year, has fallen off full 50 millions
of dollars. The shipments of Cotton have increased, but
in consequence of the depreciation in prices for the raw
material, a corresponding increase has not been realised
in the value of that exported."
The acccounts from Canada respecting the crops are
favourable.
The Continental advices this morning are not of a.
definite character. Everywhere the late of great States
P .to be suspended in the balance. It is hoped that.
rd Palmerston may in Pediment this evening be
enabled to give rather satisfactory assurances upon the
subject of Denmark, Austria, and Limburg. In Paris
the state of affairs seems to txcite a little uneasiness
• Again, but there is no precise reason for apprehension
assigned. •
