CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The aale3 of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 American and 1,000
Surat were taken for export, and 1,200 American on
sp-culation. The market closed very firmly, the only
change to notice being in qualities at and under 4id. per
lb., which were a shade higher.—The market for Rail-
ways was very flat, and prices had a downward ten-
dency.
The reports from France concerning the grain crops
are very favourable as regards the quality, though the
quantity of wheat, it is said, may prove rather smaller
than last year.
The rates at which bills of exchange upon the chief
continental cities were yesterday negotiated were in se-
veral instances higher. Ninety days paper was taken
at 25 20 to 25 on Paris, 11 174 to 18+, on Amsterdam,
13 Btol. on Hamburgh, 1191 to on Frankfort, and
11 46 to 49 on Trieste.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 4th inst. was
tolerably firm, Dutch Two and-a Half per Cents. being
58i. In Foreign S curities there was no alteration.
We are informed that the Mining Exchange not hav-
ing been established, as was desired, the members have
joined the Hall of Commerce. _

The arrivals of shipping are very large in the Thames
during the last two or three days, including vessels from
the Baltic, Spain, France, Holland, Newfoundland, Ha-
vannab, and Madras.
In a circular upon railway prospects, by Messrs. J. S.
Tripp and Co., the Brighton accounts are thus ana-
lysed:—"ln April, 1850, we stated that neither the
Brighton nor the Midland Company had charged their
revenue with the sum that would by-and-by be found re-
quisite for their maintenance of way. Subsequently,
in our review of the Brighton accounts for the
half-year ending June 30th, 1850, we observed
that the cost of the maintenace of way had
increased 8/. per mile, and that it was then,
in our opinion, 131. per mile less than would be found
sufficient in all probability before another year. The
cost of the half-year ending June, 1650, was 931. per
mile. The cost for the half year just ended is
98.53971. per mile, being more than 5/. 10s. per mile
in excess of the charge for the corresponding six
months of last year, and as we still believe it to be
71. 10a. per mile under the sum that will ultimately be
found requisite. It must also be borne iu mind that the
length of miles open is 173/, but the number of mile.
charged to maintenance of way is only 1594 e
Another important feature is the decline in the train
mileage receipts observable by the following comparison :
Train mileage receipts for the half year ending June 30:
1849 Bs. sd. 1 1850. ..... 7s. 7d. 1 1851 6s. 3,1 d.
"For the half-year ending D: comber 31st, 1849, the
receipts were s.lO 261 per train mile; but then the train
mileage was in the proportion of 3252 miles per mile,
whereas, as wo have already shown, the train mileage for
the half-year ending Juno last was in the proportion
of 4479 miles to each mile of the railway. The di-
rectors explain in their report that the competition
at the Hastings branch left them no alternative but to
place additional trains on the line. The result is evi-
dent. The train mileage receipts have not kept pace
with the increased number of trains, and the sooner the
train mileage can be reduced to the standard of 3252
miles per mile, when the train mileage receipts were
s. 10.261 per mile, the greater will be the profit.
our last Circular we estimated that the Brighton divi-
dend for the half year ending June world be at the rate
of 3i per cent. per annum, or 355. for the half year."
The following i. from the Circular of Messrs.
Schroeder and Mummy. dated New Orleans, July 12
and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, rela-
tive to the state of the markets:—
" CoTTox.—The changes which have occurred in our
Cotton market since our last Circular of 21st ult. have
been but of li de importance; prices have been but
slightly affected by the tenor of advices since received
from Liverpool. The lower qualities only, say from
ordinary to middling, forming at present the bulk or
our stock, have somewhat receded, and may be quoted
about /e. lower than at our last date. The better qua-
lities, on the contrary, become scarcer, and the demand
existing for them fur shipment to Spain and the North
of the United States, enables holders to obtain full
prices. The principal business has been done for Eng
land and Spain, with some lots for the Continent, and
the transactions would have undoubtedly been larger,
but for the tightness of our Money market, and the diffi-
culty of negotiating exchange. The sales of this week
sum up 13,000 bales, and of the two preceding weeks
10,500 and 14,000 bales. Our unsold sock of Cotton
may be put down at about 35,000 bales, consisting
mainly of mixed lists of the lower descriptions and Ala-
bama Cotton. Even-running lists, with the exception
of fair and above, and very little of these, are not to be
met with, and if holders reluctantly submit to a selec-
tion, they obtain from le. to 4c, above our quotations,
which are—Ordinary to good ordinary, 6k to 7; mid-
dling, to 81; good middling, 91 to 9i; middling fair,
934 to 10; fair, 101 to 101. The prospects for the new
crop are very flattering, and only from few districts com-
plaints reach us of the continued drought. Sales during
the last three weeks 37,500 bales. Receipts at this port
since Ist Sept., 940,590 bales, against 782,916 bales last
year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest
dates, 296.547 bales.
" Rio COFFEE.—The sales of this article amount to
about 9,000 sacks during the three last weeks, and the
market closes now firmly at 84c. for a fair article. Ar-
rived during that period Francis Watts, 3,500 sacks;
Henry, 6,500 sacks. The stock is reduced to 9,145
slacks, against about 47,000 sacks same time last season.
Imports, 270,190 sacks against 220,299 sacks same time
last year."
The Funds are very steady, but there is scarcely any
' business doing, and the attendance is extremely limited.
