The sales of Cotton At Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 to ()MO
bales, at previous prices, the market being unsettled.—Shares were
firm, and good stock realised fuller prices.
The accounts of the American markets are not considered favour-
able, nor could they be expected to be so, now the war with America
has commenced.

From Canada we are advised as follows:
" The weather has been dry and warm at 3.tontreal for some days
past. To-day the thermometer is at 72 deg. in the shade. Wind
south, cloudy, with appearance of rain. The progress of vegetatiort
has been rapid, and the seed time favourable. The plum and cherry
trees are in full blossom, and the flowers begin to show themselves on
the early apple-trees. The Lombardy poplars are now green,
although not in full leaf, and the forest trees on the mountain begin
to look green. So far there are indications of a favourable year.
" It is singular, with all the appearances of summer, to see ice
lying on three or four of the wharves, where it was lett by the sudden
fall of the vater last month.

" The communication with the upper part of the river and lakes, is
now completely free. Propellers are daily arriving in the port with
loaded barges from Upper Canada, and they return by the Beau-
harnois and Cornwall Canals, and may go to Lake Michigan, pass -
through the Welland. The passage from St. John to Whitehall is
now down to 2s. 6d., breakfast included. They come from New York
in 41 hours."'

There is a very sensitive market for the English Funds, in conse-
quence of the intelligence from Mexico, and the reaction in Consols is
% to % per cent., money bargains having been effected as low as
9614, and time transactions at 96%. The .premium on Exchequer-
bills has been steady at Iss. to 19s. ; New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. are 97% to 973. East India Bonds are worth 275. pre-
mium. This is " pay" day, and it goes off tolerably well.
The Foreign Bonds have been more animated. Spanish Actives
for account have realised 24 to 243(, and the Coupons of 1846, 18%.
The Three per Cents. have been 36% to 37. Mexican Stock suffers
materially from the warlike state of affairs in the republic. The
Five per Cents. have been done at 30% and 29%, and the Three per
Cents at 17% and 16. Grenada Deferred Bonds have been done at
4M. Russian Stock is worth 110 to 1093, Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are marked 60.

Shares aro flatter today, as might be expected front the reaction
in the other markets.
