CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
11 Sales, 8,000 bales, making 66,730 for the week. The
stock was 998.000 bales at the outport on the 4th of
September, 1845, against 741,500 bales now.—Shares
were flat again yesterday.
Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s sale yesterday went offrather
quietly. Little speculation is going on, from the ab-
sence of so many of the principal operators in the
country. A good business was done. The following
are a few of the sales:—

The private accounts received from the West Indies
this morning are considered of a favourable character.
It is with regret we find by the advices from the
United States and Canada that the wheat, the cotton,
and potato crops are likely to be short. Upon this sub-
ject we are thus advised:—
"From extensive inquiries we believe we may safely
state that almost one-fourth of the whole wheat crop will
be lost from the effect of rust ; but in consequence of the
rank growth, and an extra quantity of land sown, the
yield on the whole will not be less than last year.
" A gentleman who has sixty acres of land in potatoes
in the Miami bottom, informs the Cincinnati Chronicle
that his potatoes are rotting rapidly in the ground, and
in digging in several parts of the field, for the purpose of
ascertaining if the rot was general, he stated that the
smell arising from the ones already decayed, was almost
past endurance, and that he did not expect to save one
hundred bushels out of the whole field. All that he
has seen have the black spot described. A dealer in
Cincinnati last week purchased a lot of potatoes, at
which time they were apparently in good order, and
when he was rolling them out for the purposeof shipping
them, the head fell out of one of the barrels, when he
discovered that a large portion of them were spoiled ;
and upon examining them he discovered a black spot on
the surface which passed through the potato.
" The accounts received yesterday from Red River
are quite discouraging for the cotton planter, the im-
proved prospects which we noticed some time ago hay-
ing disappeared since the visitation of the caterpillar.
We have letters before us from Alexandria, under date
of the 6th instant, which mention that this insect is the
regular army worm, which committed such havoc in
1840, and that it has now generally made its appearance
in Rapides and the adjoining parishes, threatening to
inflict great injury on the crops. The same complaints
begin to reach us from Bayou Sara, and some apprehen-
sion is felt lest the visitation should become general
throughout the cotton growing region.
" The first bale of new cotton, of the season, states the
Republican, was received in Savannah on Wednesday,
by the Central Railroad, from Macan. The staple was
touch cut i❑ ginning, and the colour is represented as
dull, quality about middling fair. The consignee not
being able to obtain the price asked for it, 10 cts. per lb.,
shipped it to New York.
" Indian corn and other fall crops are suffering se-
verely for the want of rain. It is feared that the corn
will fall far below the usual average the present year.
On the other hand, the wheat is abundant, and of an
excellent quality, generally averaging 631bs. or 651bs. per
bushel."
The weekly return from the Bank of England shows
the following changes, as compared with the items of its
predecessor:—
An increase in the notes issued of 221,900/, or to
29,875,8901.
A decrease in the Rest of 58,8401., or to 3,554,3701.
An increase in the public deposits of 299,2101., or to
7,142,2121.
A decrease in the other deposits of 912,1581., or to
9,161,1581.
A slight decrease in the seven days' and other bills.
A decrease in the other securities of 617,3761., or to
12,395,4571.
A decrease in the notes in the banking department to
9,449,7601.
The increase in the amount of bullion and specie of
189,4021., or to 16,366,0681.
Consols for Money and Account have been firm to-
day, the former at 96i -I, and the latter at 96,-I Ex-
chequer-bills have gone back a shade, as have also
India Bonds. Bank Stock remains at yesterday's value.
In the Foreign Stock Market we have to notice an
improvement in Portuguese Four per Cents. to 48, and
in Spanish to 39i for the Three per Cents. In the other
Stocks the changes have been slight.
The Railway Shares are mostly in dull request.
