CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Accounts from Liverpcol state that the Cotton
Market yesterday preseni ed a very heavy appear-
ance, and prices of all descriptions tended down-
wards. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales,
1,000 of which were taken by the exporters. In
Railway Shares a moderate business was transacted,
at about former values.

Advices from India, although perhaps as favour-
able as could be expcted, do not report general
activity. It is nevertheless remarked that there
was a better demand for manufactures, and this fact
is encouraging for those engaged in the trade of the
North of England. From Australia also recent
accounts are encouraging in this respect, while in
America there likewise appears to be a progressive
improvement. These circumstances will all tell
eventually upon the commerce of the United King-
dom, and when once activity is produced, the re-
action from the state of depression lately witnessed
will, in all probability, be more important than
many are inclined to anticipate. Notwithstanding
the general inactivity prevailing in most branches
of business, it is satisfactory to observe that few
complaints are made, both principals and employes
awaiting a favourable change with exemplary
patience ; and there seems every reason to believe
that before the end of the year they will experience
a marked improvement, as the tendency in that
direction is evidently very encouraging. In France
there are also unmistakeable indications of a re
vival of commerce. The letters from Paris, Lyons,
Marseilles, and other places all report increa-ed
transactions, which were causing an augmented
demand for money. The Bourse, however, still
continues very much depressed, in spite of the
numerous measures which hive been adopted for
the Purpose of promoting an improvement i❑ the
quotations, which, although tolerably steady, do
not advance.

It appears that gold is 1-10th per cent. dearer in
London than in Hamburg, but it is 2-10ths per
cent.. higher in Paris than in this market.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
Were firm, but without alteration.
The inquiry for accommodation was not increased
to any important extent, bat ,the applications in
some quarters are stated to be rather more
numerous, probably in consequence of the prepara-
tions for the 4th of the month, and other engage-
tents. No alteration has taken place in the quota-
tions, which still range as low as 2} per cent. At the
Stock Exchange also, the ra1.',13 of money is very
moderate, loans tieing obtainable on Government
Securities at l per cent. In the course of a few
days the settlements will probably increase the clt-
raand, although the terms for " carrying over "
are exceedingly easy.
It is expected that a fair proportion of the gold,
eat the Heather Bell, will be sent into the Bank.
The half-yearly meeting of the United Mexican
Mining Association took place to-day—Sir John
Easthope, Bart., in the chair. The report stated
that the operations for the last five months had
left a loss of 2,026 dollars in addition to the ex-
penses of the establishment, but there was 48,000
cl°lB, worth of ore at the mines. The cash balance
in London was 2,4401.
No variation of importance has taken place in the
English Stock Market, but the prices appear very
steady, The transactions, many of which are con-
nected with the approaching settlement, are
limited, attention being directed to the liquidation
of the account in Foreign Stocks and Railway
Shares. Consols for transfer have been 95 but
they are now 95i 4, and the same for the account.
