CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export and 500 on speculation. The sales in-
clude 200 Pernam and Maranhem, at 51d. to 6id ; 150
Bahia, at 6d. to 61- ; 500 Egyptian, at 51d. to 610. ; 500
Surat, at 2id. to 4id. ; and 100 Sea Island, at 101 d. to
Is. 6d. per lb. The market was quiet, but steady.—ln
Railway Shares a fair business was done, and better
prices were obtained for stock.
There is a general concurrence of favourable news
from the agricultural districts. The harvest is secured
in most of the northern districts of England, and will,
in a few days, probably, be safe likewise in the north
of Scotland. The Banker's Magazine for October
states :—" I❑ some districts the crops are, doubtless,
above an average ; in others they will prove scanty.
Over the whole island, however, the grain has been se-
cured in first-rate condition. There has, indeed, very
rarely been a finer or more seasonable September. In
Ireland the grain harvest has also been successful. The
potato disease has certainly committed some ravages,
both there and in England and Scotland, but hitherto
it does not appear that the mischief from that cause will
be of serious extent. On the Continent we are led to
believe that while the crops are, on the whole, of fair
bulk and quality, yet the harvest has not been attended
with circumstances so favourable as in this country.
In America there is, confessedly, great abundance. The
general conclusion at present, therefore, leads us to ex-
pect a future average of corn prices, perhaps a trifle
lower than those of last year."
Great interest attaches to the probable tone of feeling
in the next session of the United States Congress, and
the opinion seems to be that it will prove strongly demo-
cratic, which means free trading. The reciprocity Bill
with the British North American provinces will, under
such circumstances, have a good chance of being carried
before the ensuing spring. An American journalist in-
forms us upon this point, that—
`• In the House of Representatives, at the last Con-
gress, so nearly balanced were the two great parties,
that less than half•a-dozen free Boilers held the balance
of power, and prevented the election of a Speaker until
it was resolved that a plurality should be sufficient for a
choice. The Whigs, however, had a nominal majority
of some two or three. In the ensuing Congress, as far
as the elections have gone, one hundred and ninety•four
of the two hundred and thirty members have been elected.
The number elected, including free soilers, stands divided
112 Democrats to 82 Whigs.

" With regard to the tariff, it is difficult to conjecture
upon what theory the advocates of protection can count
upon the slightest relief from the House of Representa-
tives. Pennsylvania may be secured without it, or she
may be spared. There is but little hope of specifics or
minimums, or of ' protection for the sake of protec-
tion,' in a House with a democratic majority ranging
from twenty to thirty."
A very melancholy occurrence has caused a good deal
of excitement this morning in the Stock Exchange. A
member of the house, Mr. Ingle Budge, has
committed suicide by means of Prussic acid,
and accomplished this in the private room of another
broker. It appears that upon the person of the unfor-
tunate man were found a small pistol, loaded up to
the muzzle, and a peculiarly shaped knife or dagger,
showing his determined purpose. The losses or differences
upon the account are understood to be very small, ac-
cording to some versions only 2001., and they are said
to have arisen upon Mexican bonds and shares.
Tho following letter has been received from Mr.
Weisweiller, of Madrid, who forwarded the London
memorial to Senor Bravo Murillo, praying that the
whole of the coupons might be provided for:—

" The Law of the Ist of August last having decided
everything relating to the settlement of the debt, and
the sort of each and every credit, it is useless to enter
into fresh discussions on the subject, when the only
thing remaining fur the Government is the punctual
fulfilment of the above-mentioned law,

" Thi3 I have alrea ly signified to you, and repeat it
here in answer to your communication of the 11th inst.
`• God preserve you many years.
" Madrid, September 22, 1351.
(Signed) " JUAN BRAVO MURILLO.
" Daniel Weiswoillor, Esq."
The special financial representative of Spain, M. Bor-
rsjo, had left Madrid for Paris and London.
Public Securities have further advanced this morning,
and the cheerful accounts of the crops, together with
the quieter state of political affairs abroad, have pro-
duced decided buoyancy. Consols have been 964 to 97
for Money, and 96j to 97 fur Account. Exchequer-bills
have been quoted 435. to 46a. premium. South Sea
Stock has been done at 1071.
Foreign Securities have been very elastic. Mexican
have risen 4 per cent. since yesterday, being 27k to 4.
Peruvian Old Bonds are 91 to Spanish Three per
Cents. are 37i to and the Passive 5i The Five
per Cents. are 21i to Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been 59.

An extensive business has been done in Shares, and
prices have further risen. In some instances the im-
provement is 1 and 2 per cent., as our list will show.

Shares are scarce.
