LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MouNING.—The clipper
ship Columbus, Captain Globe, arrived in the Mersey
last evening from Pernambuco, with commercial ac-
counts from that port to the 28th of October, from
Rio Janeiro to the 4th, and from Bahia to the 11th.
The Rarger sailed from Pernambuco for this port
a few days previous to the Columbus.
From Pernambuco we learn that a small business
had commenced in white sugar for native ports at the
high rate of 2 dt.lis. 750 c. to 2 dolls. 900 c. for second
to third quality, and muscovado for the Channel and
harbour at 13s. 11d. for regular, and at 14s. 3d. for

600 c. and more were demanded. Large supplies were
which, added to a
scarcity of vessels and a prospect of higher freights,
would probably bring down the prices of sugar.
The seasqn was about a fortnight earlier than the
preceding one.
Purcimers of cotton for Liverpool having retired
from the market, prices had undergone a considerable
decline,.

Hides were scarce, and in demand.
