The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday we
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken on speculation. The sales comprised 4,000
rican, 150 Pernam and Maranham, at 71d. to 81d.;
Bahia, at 'lid. to /Sid.; 100 Egyptian, at Bd. to Sid.; set,"o

—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done, but g"
market was not so firm.
The want of inreased facilities in the clearance ..3f
goods, &c., and the necessity of greater expedition at.tan_e
Custom-house, which, with every desire to accomrae,d
the merchants, is trammelled so much by forms to ge_e_r_

tion and signing of a petition to Parliament b ©then eir_
chants, bankers, and others of London. The pe 5
state :
" That your petitioners are extensively eng2ge..j.iisrla
trade, commerce, and shipping. That by the "Tiro-
of Government and many enactments of the Legisia'tai oi•
large powers have been conferred upon the 8nar,„„,..,

That the changes which have taken place in the ore

competition which the merchants have to sustain

other countries and foreign markets, necessitate c.
authortltp
aponding and progressive alterations in the admintigsta
tion and management of the whole fiscal systm' out
experience leads to the confident belief that the present

management and collection of the Customs is unnecegLs't 4
restrictive, vexatious, dilatory and expensive. Tila'dis„,
would tend much to diminish the growing
content if a full investigation were instituted into a
principles upon which the administration and praettee. n
the Customs are based, in order that due consideration
may be given to such suggestions of alteration and roof;
struction as may tend to their simplification and uniform'
ity. May it therefore please your Honourable House,. t 4
adopt such measures as may seem best for directing 7_
inquiry into the rules, practice, and management bettertts

adaptation to the altered circumstance of trade, and the
extending commerce of the country."
The outline of the news by the Overland Mail appears
to be rather more favourable. At Bombay, the cola"
mercial markets were more active, but although lat.
ports sold readily, prices did not improve. Money w

somewhat easier. Freights to England were st

From China, likewise, the intelligence appears to be
more satisfactory in respect to business affairs, but We
have no letters yet.
Advices from Belgium state that the Government had
entered into provisional arrangements with a NOVO/
to execute a direct line of railway from Brussels to
Ghent and through the valley of the Dendre. In a fel'
days these projects will be submitted to the Legislatures
but the terms ars not yet known.

Hamburgh advices of Friday last quote the exchange
steady on London at 13 4. Money was abundant.
The more information is elicited concerning the failure
of Mr. Bolding, the worse it appears to be, and nun3°-
