CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 3,500 were taken for
export. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 800
Pernam and Maranham, at 52d. to 71d.; 400 Bahia, at
6d. to 61d.• 500 Egyptian, at 511. to 8d; 500 Surat, at
3id. to 4-4-d.; and 100 Sea Island, at is. id. to is. sid.
per lb. ' The market closed firmly.--Railway Shares
were flat at lower prices.
The following is from Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's
Circular, dated New Orleans, Sept. 20, and published by
Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool:—
" CoTTON.—In our review of the let of September,
we mentioned that prices were sustained at that time by
a very animated demand for the North and France. The
same good inquiry continued during the week ending
oth instant, and the supplies being scarcely adequate to
the demand, prices were pushed up as high as 9c. for
middling, with sales of about 5,500 bales. Last week
opened rather more quiet, under the influence of more
ample supplies, and prides declined considerably from
the above quotation. Towards the middle of the week,
however, owing to the continued favourable accounts per
Franklin and Niagara, a more animated demand sprung
up, buyers for the North, France, the Continent, and
Great Britain, entering the market more freely, and the
week closed with 8:1c. for middling, sales about 7,500
bales. In the beginning of this week, the receipt of the
less favourable accounts per Pacific, and still more so
per Europa, caused buyers to be ess anxious, and in
many instances concessions were made by holders ; the
demand, however, has continued generally very good,
mostly for the North, with a moderato portion for
France, Great Britain, and the Continent, and the sales
amount to 8,200 bales.
" In giving the following quotations, we would remark
' that the middling qualities are paid comparatively higher
than the finer grades:—Ordinary to good ordinary, lie.
to Bc. ; middling, B:}c. ; good middling, Bc. ; middling
fair, 9c. to sic.; fair, 9ic. to 92c.
" The receipts have been unusually heavy so far,
which might lead people at a distance into error as to
their bearing on the extent of the crop. The unusual
drought had the effect of ripening prematurely, in many
instances, the fruit very early; adding to this the ex-
tremely favourable weather for picking, and the desire
on the part of planters to meet the good demand prevail-
ing in this market, the early shipments aro easily ex-
plained.
" With regard to the prospects of the crops, however,
the same unfavourable accounts continue to reach us
from the interior, as were mentioned in our last. The
drought has undoubtedly shortened the crop on the up-
lands very materially, and even with the increased plant-
ing, it is generally believed that the yield from those
lauds will not exceed, if it does not fall short of last
year. Everywhere, it is said, there is an entire absence
of top crop. From the bottom lands the accounts are
still favourable, although by no means so much so as they
were. Plantations which were not overflowed last year,
made as much then as they are likely to do now; but of
course a great gain will be made on the plantations
which were submerged then. The general impression
seems now to fix upon two and a half million of bales,
with an average favourable season hereafter.
" According to the statement of the New York Ship-
ping and Commercial List,' the cotton crop of last year
amounts to 2,355,257 bales. Sales since the Ist of
September, 19,200 bales. Receipts at this port since Ist
of September, 30,410 bales, against 9,555 bales last year.
The Produce Markets are rather quiet, but consump-
tion progresses steadily.
The Lisbon mail has arrived, and brings rather more
satisfactory intelligence upon monetary affairs. The
circulation of the Bank was reduced by 1,600 contos,
being only 400,0001., and the discount on its notes was
2 per cent. The rate of exchange was depressed, being
52} for 9U days on London ; and unless paper was re-
ceived from Brazil or Cadiz, there was not likely to
be an improvement. One piece of news, that
must prove disagreeable to the bondholders
is that the Minister of Finance was stated
to have the idea of capitalizing the floating debt of the
arrears of salaries of the public employes and the pen-
sions. Perhaps, however, it may be fairly urged that if
a debt is due, the sooner it is put in a train for settle-
ment the better. The vintage around Lisbon is better
spoken of.

It may be interesting to those who have mercantile
relations with the 'United States and California to know
that alterations have been made in the regulations in re-
gard to goods upon which the import duties shall have
been paid, transported from one port of the
United States to another within the same,
via the Isthmus of Panama. It is ordered
that where any goods, wares or merchandise, of the de-
scription before•mentioned, are intended to be trans-
ported from any port of the United States, situated either
on the Atlantic or Pacific seaboard to any other port
within the United States, to be conveyed or carried
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Isthmus of
Panama, or over the San Juan de Nicaragua route, to
wit:-
Ist. It is to be distinctly understood that the law
does not authorize either drawback or warehouse goods,
under bond, to be transported by the routes before in-
dicated and become entitled to the privileges of the
Drawback and Warehousing Act.
2d. Parties wishing to ship goods for transportation by
the routes above mentioned, must before lading the
same on board the vessel at the port of shipment, give
at least forty-eight hours' notice, in writing, to the col-
lector of said port of his shipment, describing the goods,
and their place or places of deposit; whereupon the col-
lector will direct an inspector of the Customs to examine
and superintend the boxing, packing, or casing, as the
case may be, of the goods, which must be securely
corded, and a lead seal attached thereto by the said
officer, to prevent the boxes, bales, cases, or packages
from being opened. Strict precautions will be taken to
examine the goods subsequently and on their arrival.
The meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Spencer,
Ashlin, and Co., held yesterday afternoon, was ad-
journed, as the offer of 3s. 6d. in the pound was not
deemed satisfactory without some further explanation as
to certain preference claims recently discharged. It
would appear, however, that there is every disposition
to restore the amount to the general account. The
balance-sheet made up by Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co.,
to Sept. 11, may be interesting to parties in the grain
trade its which the losses have been sustained, and we
therefore append it:—

Who cliyideuds ore this Pawling beiPg plaid to the

public at the Bank of England, and there is a fair at-
tendance of annuitants. It frequently occurs, however,
that immediately upon the re-opening of the Transfer-
books, sates of stock are made, and there is a
change of investment or a determination to keep money
lying unemployed and await a favourable opportunity.
At present the very unsettled state of the French
Ministry militates against the influence of the favourable
revenue. A serious question begins alio to be now
mooted by the speculators for a fall, viz., the probable
abolition of the income•tax, and a consequent excess of
national expenditure. There is, however, ample time
to consider all this, and judicious reduction of expendi-
ture would partly, if not wholly, meet the case, allowing
that Parliament abolished the tax instead of modifying
it, as many expect.

We regret to state that a large failure has occurred
this morning, that of Mr. Thomas Allsop, esteemed, and
no doubt until lately, really a wealthy member of the
Stock Exchange. Mr. Allsop is stated to be a Bear of
Consols and a Bull of shares. The event has caused
unfeigned regret. This is settling-day in the English
market, and Consols have been 964 to 97 for Transfer,

SUGAR.—There was an improved demand for British
Plantation; sales 1,170 hhds, at prices establishing an

went well, and a fair business has been done privately
at rather fuller prices.
FOREIGN.-198 hhds and 120 barrels Porto Rico met
spirited competition, and the whole sold at 33a 6d to
40s 6d. The quantity of British Plantation landed last

A RAILWAY ENGINEER. AND AN IRISH BOG.—At 8
place called Knock-a-naugh, about 73 miles from Cork, the
engineer of the Great Southern and Western Railway of
Ireland met with a bog, which for a long time defied all his
ingenuity. His attempts to fill it up with firm earth totally
failed. It swallowed up every one of the numerous loads
cast into it, and gaped for more, making nothing of the
energetic measures thus taken to destroy it. A locomotive
engine fell a sacrifice to its insatiable nature, for having ven-
tured too far it was taken in by the bog, and has never been
seen since ; it now lies in the bog at some unknown depth
below the railway. At length the engineer overcame the
difficulty of the bog by stratagem, not force. Finaing the
bog was too much for all the loads of solid stuff he could put
upon it, and was not to be filled up, he compassed his object
by floating the rails across it, which was done by wooden
rafters. By this means the bog is made to bear the rails
as firmly as any other part of this extremely well-laid rail-
way, and the great trouble it once gave is now only matter
of recollection.
MEXICO.--NEW ORLEANS, THURSDAY, SEPT. 25.
—We have received news from Mexico to the 25th of
August. The country generally was quiet. The papers
notice the death of General Carrosas. General Morin had
been censured for surrendering the Almagre and Sarabia,
the two American vessels seized at Tehuantepec. An in-
surrection has broken out in the central American states of
San Salvador and Guatemala. General Carrera, with a force
of I ,500 men, had attacked the enemy in San Salvador, who
mustered 4,000 st, ong, and defeated them, with a loss of four
men killed. He then evacuated the country.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—
The mortal remains of the late Right Hon. Charles Cecil
Cope, Earl of Liverpool, were interred on Friday last in Bus-
ted Church, Sussex, near to the splendid mansion of the de-
ceased nobleman. Colonel Harcourt, R. N. Jenkinson, Esq.,
and other relatives attended the obsequies.
THE RAILWAY DOCKS AT GRIMSBY.—This exten'.
sive undertaking, the foundation stone of which, it will be
remembered, was laid by his Koval Highness Prince Albert,
with great ceremony, is now nearly completed.
THE TEA TRADE, OCT. 13.—The market has
been steady, and the deliveries in London increased last week,
being 623,4501 b., or about 58,0001 b. more than at the corre-
sponding period of last year.

EARLY WINTER.—Benny-gloe and the higher
range of the Grampians were covered with snow on Monday
morning, for the second time this autumn,—Edinburgh
