CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for
expert, and 2,500 on speculation. The sales comprised
8,000 American, 100 Bahia at sid. to 611, 300 Egyp-
tian at 6d. to 9d., 1,500 Surat at 24d. to 4d., and 40 Sea
Island at ls. 2d. to ls. 9,1. per Ib, The market was
firm, and compared with Friday's rates prices of Ame-
rican under 511 were id. per lb. higher.—Railway
Shares were depressed.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. 7d. per
quarter.
After the glut of arrivals yesterday we have a cessa-
tion, and there is no later ship news from any quarter.
The Stock Markets on the Continent are reported to
have been rather firm at the latest dates, although a
slight reaction occurred at Paris before the close
of business. In the Amsterdam Market there
was not much done on the 9th instant,
but Home Securities were in greater request,
Austrian in demand and dearer, and Spanish and
Mexican more offered, the latter at a decline. From
Vienna we are apprised that the way in which the
new loan is being brought out gives satisfaction, and
strengthens the quotations of stock.
The English Stock Market, which was rather weak
at the opening, has rallied since. Consols have been
quoted 96i to fur Transfer, and 96i i for October 14,
the next settling day. In the arrangement of the ac-
count to-day, not the slightest difficulty is experienced,
and the differences are very small. New Three-and•a-
Quarter per Cents. have been marked 981 to and
Reduced Three per Cents. 96i to 97k. Bank Stuck is
worth 2164, and India Stock 260. Exchequer-bills are

Foreign Stocks have been a little more active. Mex-
ican Bonds have realised 26i to 274, being flatter. Pe-
ruvian old Stock is at 904. Brazilian Bonds have been
marked 9 Spanish Five per Cents. bring 20* to

The committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received the following communication from Mr.
Lord, their agent, dated, "La Guayra, 9th August,
1851:"

"I regret that even at this date it is not in my power
to communicate to the committee the approval, or
otherwise, by the Council of Government of the agree-
ment entered into with the Minister for the capitaliza-
tion of the arrear interest. Senor Gellineau has
told my agent that the decision of this matter is requi-
site to enable him to reply to my last note of 20th
June, and that the Government was occupied about a
remittance for the October dividend. In the meantime
I have no means of accelerating the movements of the
Council, except by urging upon the Minister the im-
portance of an early decision, and this Senor Rojas takes
every opportunity of doing."
The following is the reply of Senor Don Mariano
Yarnea, late Minister for Foreign Affairs in Mexico, to
the letter of acknowledgment addressed to him by Mr.
Falconnet, for the upright views on which he had acted
in the matter of the 2,500,000 dollars made over to the
bondholders of the American indemnity money.
(Translation.)
"F. de P. Falconnet, Esq.,

" I have taken note from your letter of the 9th inst.
of the opinion which the committee of the English hold-
ers of Mexican Bonds have formed of the conduct which
I pursued when I was is charge of the department of
foreign affairs, in respect of the delivery of she certificate
of the two millions and a half of dollars, which the law
of the 14th October, 1850, assigned to them; and
while the honourable approval of the creditors and of
yourself is very satisfactory to me, I ought to make
known to them that I proceeded all through that busi-
ness in conformity with the decisive orders of his Ex-
cellency the President of the Republic, so that the bond-
holders ought not to doubt the continuation of the inte-
grity and good faith of tho Mexican Government notwith-
standing my withdrawal from the Ministry. Moreover, I
can assure you that in whatever employ or trust which
the Government or the people of my country may com-
mit to me, I shall retain the same disposition to attend,
as far as lies in my power, to the just interests of the
English creditors.
" It was very natural that in a difficult business some
difference of opinion should arise, which nevertheless
did not impugn the sincerity of those who had to discuss
it. For this reason I was persuaded that mutual expla-
nations would cause those differences to disappear. I
avail myself of this occasion to repeat to you the assur-
ances, &c. &c.

but a fair business is doing, and some lines are well
maintained. The traffic appears to be very encouraging.

FLOGGING IN THE ARMY.—Ina report to the
Secretary of War by Lieutenant-Colonel Jebb, the Inspector-
General of Military Prisons, which has just been printed in
a Parliamentary paper, the subject of flogging in the army
is brought forward. It seems that imprisonment in lieu of
corporal punishment has been beneficial in its operation,
notwithstanding the contrary opinion expressed by military
officers. Colonel Jebb states, "If the views of the more ex-
perienced officers in her Majesty's service as to the deterring
influence of corporal punishment were correct, a great in-
crease of crime in the army might have been anticipated as
the necessary consequence of limiting the power of courts-
martial, and materially diminishing a mode of punish-
ment deemed to be tke most efficacious for the mainte-
nance of discipline. It is, however, satisfactory to see that
the result has not been unfavourable, and though it may
partly be attributed to the; encouragement given to good
conduct, the better class of men who have entered
into the service, and the partial discharge of some of the
worst characters, yet, taking all this into account, I think
experience has sufficiently shown that imprisonment for
military offences has answered the expectations that were
termed of it." In 1845, the year previous to the establish-
ment of prisons, the number of convictions by courts-martial
was 9,954, and there were 652 corporal punishments, whilst
in 1850 the convictions were 9,306, and the corporal punish-
ments limited to 238. The effective force was about the
same in each year-125,252 in 1845, and 125,119 last year.
The visitors to the prisons last year ordered 495 lashes to be
inflicted for some serious offences.

MARKED SALMON.—One of the Duke of Athole's
marked salmon was caught on the Friarton Island, on the
Ist instant, marked " Athole, 47." The fish weighed 1841 b.,
and was apparently in a healthy condition. The band has
been forwarded to his Grace by Mr. Swan.—North British
