A moorate amount of business was recorded in
the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices
tended downwards. The sales amounted to about
8,000 bales.

The importance of a cheap and extensive tele-
graph communication throughout the United King-
-lom has led to the introduction of " The United
lingdom Electric Telegraph Company," which,
stinting with a capital of £150,000, proposes to
eontect some of the principal commercial towns,
upon Allan's system of electro-telegraph, which it
14 averred will ensure economy in the preliminary
col, and the working expenses. It is proposed to
establish a low and uniform rate, viz., ls. for a short
message for any distance ; and as a similar system
has lento the most productive results on the con-
tinent, larticularly in Switzerland, there is every
reasox to anticipate the same, if not a greater de-
gree of success, in this country.
The meeting of the Grand Surrey Dock and
Canal Company has just been held, when the re-
Port distributed to the proprietors was unanimously
adopted.

The official returns relating to trade and navi-
gation for the six months ending the 30th June has
been published. From these it appears that the
total declared value of exports from the United
Kingdom for the six months ending the 30th June
has been £62,019,989, against £63,003,159 in the
like period of 1859, showing a decrease of
£983,170. The deerease is most perceptible in
coals and culm, cotton goods, haberdashery and
millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufac-
tures, railway iron, silk fabrics, and woollen and
worsted manufactures.

The importations of the prinoipal .rtioied are
larger as regards Live animals, cocoa, coffee, barley,
Indian corn, raw cotton, fruit, hides, provisions,
saltpetre, rum, sugar, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine,
and sheep and lambs' wool. There is a diminution,
however, in wheat, flour, quicksilver, and timber.
The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the
amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
of the United Kingdom, for the six months, of
358,553 for the entries inwards, and of 158,477 for
the clearances outwards.

In the coasting trade for the six months, 380,802
tons more were employed than in the correspond-
ing period of 1859 for the entries inwards, and
656,201 tons for the clearances outwards.

A correspondent of the Nazione Writes from
Cortona, on July 3—" Some poor
pea.santa of a village near
the borders of the Italian kingdom, but still subject to the
dominion of Cardinal Antonelli, have charged me to for-
ward to you the small sum of 16 Italian lire for the
Sicilian
cause, excusing. the poorness of the offering, and beggin
that it may be taken as the expression of their affection fogr
the Italian cause, and of hatred for the clerical rule, soon
about to end."
A prospectus has been issued of the United King-
dom Electric Telegraph Company for introducing a system
of electric communication on the Post •office principle of a
uniform charge irrespective of distance. The rate proposed
is a shilling•for a short message to any part of the United
Kingdom. Mr. Allar.'s patents are to be used, and these,
it is alleged, effect a saving in labour which will greatly
reduce the working expenses. The capital of the com-
pany is to be £150,000, in shares of £5 each.
THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.—We find the follow-
ing in the Independent of Saintes :—" The crops have al-
ready begun to cut in our neighbourhood ; the corn is
round and well filled. It will very likely be a far better
harvest than that of last year. The wine has passed bloom ;
there is very little loss. It can be said that the vintage is
safe - it will be very abundant here, and surpass that of
1858,"
