The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.

and 500 on speculation. Brazil sold at 7d. and 7i-d,;
Egyptian at 7*(l. to Bd.; Surat at 4d. to 41d.; and Ame-
rican at sd. to 7d. per lb. Shares were steay, with a

moderate business doing.
The sal© of railway shares, yesterday, at Messrs.
Lamond and Co.'s, went off with spirit, and previous
rates were fully realised. A large business was done.

The last accounts from Brazil state that there had
been an alteration in the currency laws, which was ex-
pected to be favourable to the exchange, the price of gold
being better regulated.
Letters and papers to Sept. 18, have been received
from the Cape of Good Hope, which certainly do not
report very favourably of our progress against the Kafirs.
The latter continued, with some success, their depreda-
tions upon the cattle of the frontier farmers, being
themselves sorely pushed for supplies of food, owing to
the long continued drought, and there was no
hope of bringing them to peace, but by our vigorously
prosecuting the war. Colonel Hare, Sir Andreas
Stockenstrom, and the Governor, were at the head of
very respectable forces, and had formed a chain, in order
to encompass the Kafirs, but the country was so exten-
sive, that great difficulties presented themselves. The
next advices, if much later, may bring same decisive
news.
There has been bad weather in Waterloo Bay, on the
eastern coast.
Respecting the commerce of the United States, it is
mentioned in the advices just come to hand, that there had
been a increase compared, with last year in molasses,
rice, salt, and tobacco, at New York, but that all the
staple articles of foreign importation had fallen off, some
of them very largely. The imports, even under the
warehousing system, had been small during the past fall,
and the packets recently arrived from Europe had but
limited freight lists. During the first nine months of
1845, the imports into New York were valued at
57,537,312 dollars, and this year at 58,766,934 dollars.
The excess of imports this year into New York, over
the exports from the same place, have been to the amount
of 35,138,225 dollars.
It is important to notice these particulars, because
they serve to elucidate in part the present doubt as to
whether there will be much specie required for exporta-
tion from England to America, in payment for grain.
The English Stock market continues to wear a steady
appearance, and money has been offered for Consols
without interest, which indicates that there is a scarcity
of stock. In fact, the tendency of the market is
decidedly buoyant, notwithstanding the efforts of the
Beaesand certain alarmist papers to keep down prices.
Consols have realised 941 for Money. Time
bargains have not been entered into to any extent.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted at 9s. to 12s. premium.

The Foreign Stock Market is still in a heavy con-

have been flat, at 361- to 37. Mexican Bonds have been

were 594.
Railway Shares are, upon the whole, rather easier to
buy. There are exceptions, however, and among them
North Stafford, Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton,
Scottish Midland, Churnet and Blythe, and South
Western.
