CITY, QUAIITER TO THREE,

In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday there
was no alteration, business being very quiet. Sale=,
3,000 to 4,000 bales. American 3d. to 61(1. per lb.-1n
Railway Shares there was no improvement. •
The continental news reTeivcd today does not appear
to Le of I,peeial import. In Germany affairs
are in a state to excite well-founded appre-
hension, and intelligent natives of that coun
try, with whom we have the opportunity of daily
converse, deplore most unfeignedly the atrocities corn
witted in the name of liberty. The same is the case
with respect to Sicily. and u-..ik?.s the voice. of humanily
is loudly raised, and by the popular leaders too, in th-
nunciation of such savage crimes, civilized nations will
have to blush for deeds that would disgrace barbarians.
By the ship Britannia, from St. Petersburgh, a cargo
of block ice, the first imported from Russia into this
country, has been received by Messrs. Keeling and
Hunt. The principal object in sending ice at this ad-
vanced season of the year is stated to be not so much
with a view to its sale, as for the purpose of testing its
quality compared with that receive) from America and
Norway.

Accounts from Canada notice that Sugar is unprece-
dentedly low, both in New York and Halifax ; in the
hitter place it is quoted at 17s. GJ. to 18s. 9d. in bond.
The rate i❑ Montreal is nearly as cheap, with the duty
added, the price at a recent auction being 37-. 6d. to
395. 9d. At the same sale, Molasses brought Is. 5.1 ;
Twankay Tea Is. Id. to Is. 2d. Two or three schooners,
laden with Fish and 0.1, have arrived, and their car-
goes been disposed of. Mackerel is low this year.
We are told also in the same accounts that the Go-
vernment debentures appear to be in no high estimation.
The superintendent of schools for the Prince Edward
district was paid the Government allowance in deben-
tures, but could only exchange them by giving 34 per
cent. discount. It is said that in Upper Canada some
ill not take them unless at ten per cent. discount.
From this it seems that public credit is at a low ebb.
Halifax (Nova Scotia) papers state that since the late
heavy ruins the potato vines have become green again,
with prospects of a good and healthy yield. This is a
new fact in the progress of the rot, I% hich we do not re-
member to have seen noticed in any other country.
The Stock Market is flatter to-day, and business is
very dull. There will be Jewish holidays to-morrow
and during the rest of the week. Consols have been
864 4, and since down to 86 to Exchequer-bills
realise 30s. to 335. premium.
In the Foreign Market, the dealings have been at
prices exhibiting no marked alteration. Spanish Five
per Cents. 114 to 12, and the Three per Cents. 224 to
234. Portuguese Four per Cents 234, and Brazilian 75
to 76. Dutch Two-and-a-llalf per Cents. 444 to 454.

inquiry. Eastern Counties 124 to 13, Great Western
79f to 80, North Western 1094 to 1104, Midland 834 to
841, &c.
