In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday,
there was a fair demand for all descriptions, and
4ased with a firm appearance, at previous rates.
~
sales amounted to 8,000 bales, 2,000 of which
Were talien for export and on speculation. The
4ailway Share Market closed quietly, and prices
ler e without alteration.
The Bank return for the week ending the 20th
astant, is generally considered very favourable ;
4411,4 hopes are entertained of additional ease in the
ii'l,seount market. A satisfactory increase is ex-
ibited in the bullion, while the reserve of notes
ascending to a point which will enable the
''rectors to extend their monetary opentions.
IThere is also a reduction in the stock of " other
teNrities," but the total is still very large,
4114 a further diminution is desirable. A de-
!ease is noticeable in the other delimits, but
a set off against this there is a further augmenta-
211in the public deposits, owing to the energy
iZttl which theßevenue is now being collected. On
e Whole the balance sheet is encouraging, and as
e demand for accommodation is less urgent, with
t fat
in the rates to decline, it is probable
t another modification in the official terms may
;011 be effected, especially as the eastern exchanges
rather more favourable. The principal items

Indian and Chinese exchanges are tele-
kaged at a slight decline, and hence it is thought
.44
the specie effiux will not be conducted on
k,
u a large scale as of late.
The
demand for money is moderate, but the full
"stition of 6 per Cent. is is most instances sup-

There is a decline in the value of the English

PROGRESS OF EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—A largenum-
let of vessels still keep arriving at Quebec. In three
I,4__3's alone of last week 143 arrived-52 ships, 76
ia,rques, and 15 brigs. Up to the first of the month
mkt vessels more had arrived this year than up to the
daily period last. The railway cars and steamers are
,„.4'l3' loaded with emigrants going West. Four thousand
ore have arrived this year than at the Fame time last.
"Ztue of the newspapers are complaining that many young
',en--clerks and others,--unfit for laborious and me- _
l'attnieal employments, have been induced to leave
nIlle) to seek employment here that they are now
inable to find. This may be the case, as the market I
that kind of labour soon becomes overstocked ;
111,t I am satisfied that mechanics, agricultural
~o,lnrers, servants (male and female), can soon find em-
ployment Take an instance occurring a few days
11:10e—a young Englishman, a coachman and groom,
-Pine to me seeking a situation which he was informed
'could direct him to. He ba'd been foreEtalled. He
seemed much disappointed, hilt after examining his tes-
:llzotials, which were excellent, I encouraged him by
the assurance that he would not long want employment.
Next day I met bim in Notre Dame-street, proud and
etnttented, driving a carriage full of ladies. The charit-
able committees of the various national societies are
natively engaged ' • many of them have paid agents, who
await the arrival of their emigrants on the wharves,
ready to assist them with information or advice. Few
emigrants, of good character, sober and industrious
habits, of the class I mention, need want employment
long, I am quite certain.— Canadian News ( Montreal
