The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
"letlY, but with a perfectly firm feeling, and
prices of all kinds were extrern. The sales were
ettiMated at 8,000 bales', 2,000 t,f wl,ii.lllweri-, taken
by the speculators, contpr:sing 330 Pcmant and

prices were considerably lower than they were last

The accounts from Berlin contain the tables of
"sterns receipts in different states of the Zoll-
- union, wherein it appears that there is a
t"llesidera.ble increase from year to year. The re-
vs for the first six months of 1856 show an
Increase over the corresponding period of last year
mounting to 359,143 thalers, and upon the
previous year of 1,703,450 thalers. Under these
favourable circumstances it is not only improbable
Mat Prussia would withdraw from the union, as it
1148 been rumoured, but that that State is likely to
Obtain a greater ascendancy if Austria should
et tel. it.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the parti-
culars of the comparative state of the revenue and
indirect imports during the month of September
last, showing an increase of 16,199,000 f. upon that
Inenth in 1854, and 14,510,000 f. in 1855, referred
co. in a note published a few days ago. The seven pre-
vzs°llS months of the year are now given, exhibiting
v
following items :---751,218,000f. in 1854, and
;919)789,000f. in 1856. This shows an increase in
e revenue, during the three. first quarters, of
r04,484,000f. upon 1854, and 54,429,000 upon
1„°55. A diminution of 17,539,000 f. is exhibited
R",..,the month of July last, and an increase of
"4°?000f. in August.
The aspect of monetary affairs both here and at
batdoes not improve, and the opinion prevails
',lat the nationalßanks of Englandand France will
);„et be compelled to resort to some extraordinary
measures to enable them successfully to contend

the pressure which at present shows no
Ilelliable symptoms of relaxation. It is utterly
41ei,ess to attach much weight to most of the
crisis
received from Paris with regard to the
t'isie there, and it is not therefore surprising
tartt tile hope recently indulged of an early amelio-
