CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken for
export and on speculation. The sales comprised 4,500
American, 300 Pomona and Maranham, 6d. to 64d.;
Bahia, 6d. to 6il; 300 Egyptian, 6d. to 91; and 1,800
Surat, 2id. to 4d. per lb. The market closed very firm.
—The Share Market was firm.

The failure that has occurred in the Grain market,
and to which we alluded yesterday, has given riso to
comment and reflection concerning the state of the
trade, and it is feared that the low prices may place other
parties in difficulty. The truth is, that both early in
the summer, as well as within the last two months, we
have had a lower and lass genial temperature than was
deemed congenial to the crops. Happily an interval of
brilliant weather on the first occasion, and the return of
a fine autumn season since, have dissipated all anxiety,
and the harvest is now considered perfectly safe, and
acknowledged on most hands to be unusually abundant,
and good in quality. Those, therefore, who have spe-
culated for a rise, particularly in Indian corn, must
suffer; but we hope there has been generally no exces-
sive buying by weak parties.

The efforts made by the merchants and traders of this
great metropolis to bring about a reform of the gross
abuses in the Customs' department have resulted satis-
factorily as far as they have gone. A Parliamentary
Committee has had the principal officials under exami-
nation, and, from their own evidence, the most indubi-
table proofs of tyranny and mismanagement are afforded.
The excellent plan of the merchants, in forming among
themselves a small working section to receive,
investigate, and report, upon all cases of op-
pression or ignorance, has done more to inform
the public mind than any other course could
have done. Blue books, though containing fre-
quently a mass of valuable information, contain so much
that there is ever a risk of their not being perused at
all, at least by the public in general. The succinct
narratives, on fly-sheets, issued by the merchants, have
found general acceptance, and met with almost uni-
versal recognition, and we shall be indeed greatly mis-
taken if a wholesome and sweeping reform be not the
issue. Every high official appointment is supposed
(however erroneously) to be given to men who have had
sufficient experience, but as no such rule has been ob-
served with regard to the governing body of the Cus-
toms, the Board, as it is termed, it is not to be sup-
posed that the interest of the merchant can either be
understood or cared for. The Customs reformers there-
fore affirm that—

"The only remedy for the evils which have necessitated
the formation of this and similar associations is—let.
That merchants and manufacturers should prefer the in-
terests of commerce to the crotchets of politics and the
strength of faction. 2d. That they should duly appre-
ciate the dignity and importance of their calling and
merge the distinctions of party, which have neutralized
their influence, in the superior necessity of availing
themselves of the power, for the common good of the
country, which would be the certain attainment
of a mutual understanding of their interests,
and their more perfect combination as a class.
3rd. That they should abandon their ease
and their privacy for the advancement of measures ne-
cessary to the welfare of their order, and claim that
share which, of right, belongs to them, in the represen-
tation and consequent government of the country.
4th. That they should claim the suffrages of electors
rather on commercial than on political and party grounds;
and that they should enter Parliament with the deter-
mination to stand by their class rather than to dissipate
their strength and scatter their numbers into the chilli-
sions of party, and be ready to consult together and to
co operate in ail measures which concern their common
interests; or that at all events they should not ' give up
to party what was meant for mankind;' but if political
considerations are still to form an element of their Par-
liamentary guidance, that they should confine them to
purely political objects, and firmly exclude them
from all questions involving the interests of
trade and navigation. On the utility, if not necessity,
of an association of the trading classes, the committee
need not insist. The principle is recognized in the for-
mation not only of this society, but of the numerous
bodies which have long been in active operation for the
peculiar objects of various subdivisions of the mercantile
classes. The East India, West India, shipowners',
steam navigation, Colonial, American, Baltic, and other
trading interests have experienced the advantages of
combination ; and the wonder is that it should not
have been earlier discovered that societies, pro re 'tato,
aro a clumsy, laborious, and imperfect substitute for
those chambers and tribunals of commerce, which, in the
provinces, and more especially in the continental cities,
bring the whole united strength, experience, and power
of the trading classes at once to bear upon every mer-
cantile question."_

There; is very little doing in the English Securities,
and prices remain about the same as yesterday. Con.
sols have been 954 to 96 for Transfer, and 95i to 96 for
Account. Speculation is quite inert. East India Stock
has been done at 262. Exchequer-bills are 445. to 47e.
premium and rather heavy.

The settlement of the Foreign Account has excited
much less interest than from the severe fluctuation in
Mexican Bonds recently might have been expected. It
was, however, pretty well got through yesterday. The
quotations are 24 to A bargain has been. effected in
Guatemala Stock at 34. Sardinian Scrip is very bad,
having been as low as 3 to 4 discount. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been heavy at 20.
Very little is doing in Railway Shares, but some of
them are rather better. The account is proceeding
without difficulty.

THE LIVERPOOL DOCK ACCOUNTS.—The accounts
of the trustees of the Liverpool Docks from the 25th of June,
1851, have just been published. From these we learn that
the gross receipts of the dock estate during the year were
878,277/. 16s. 4d., and the expenditure 775,1361. Os. 5d.,
leaving a balance in the hands of the banker and treasurer
of 103,1481. 15s. 11d. Contrasting the year 1849-1850 with
that of 1850-1851, just closed, we find that the receipts of
the dock estate have increased 54,5291. 3s. 11d., whilst the
expenditure of the last has exceeded that of the preceding
year by 31,409/. la. 6d., and the balance in the hands of the
bankers has been augmented by 20,117/. 2s. Bd. In the year
ending June, 1841, the number of vessels that entered the
port was 21,071, the tonnage amounting to 3,737,666; being
an increase both in the number of ships and the quantity of
tonnage, as compared with any previous year. The ac-
counts of the Albert Dock warehouses show the receipts of
the past year to be 59,583/. ss, I Id., whilst the expenses of
the working amount to 42,822/. 19s. 21—Liverpool Mercury.

We understand that the estate of East Fortune has
been purchased by Gideon Bell. Esq., Athelstaneford Mains,
at the upset price of 29,,000/.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

A gentleman residing at West Ham, shortly after
his marriage, was presented with some foreign scrip by his
wife's father, who supposed it to be of trifling value, but the
fortunate holder has since realised no less than 15,0001. by its
sale.—Chelnisfiird Chronicle.
