CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 i.ales, of which 2,000 American were
taken on speculation. Americans were to id., and
all other descriptions d, per lb. dearer. Tne saki
eornpri,ed 6 500 American, I,COO Maranham at 74d. to
74! 400 Bahia WSJ 300 Egyptian at 71d. to Bd., and
1,500 Surat at 44d. to 54d. per lb.—ln Railway &RI es
only a limited business was done.

The prices cf Colonial produce have been depressed
this week in the instance of Sugar, and Coffee has also
been dull. There has been a full supply of most articles.
Indigo is selling well. The Wool sales clo,ed last evening.
Mr. Henry P. Hughes reports that " the attendance
of both home and continental buyers was good through-
out. The satisfactory accounts of the opening and pro-
gress of the German tairs, together with the continued
activity in our manufacturing districts, htd some" hat
led us to exi ect previous rates would hate been sustained,
but the increased quantity necessarily brought
forward, with further large sc!es exrected to follow in
six weeks after the termination of the prose: t, not only
prevented the rt alization of such hopes, but buyers also
particularly ft,ro the continent, under these cit.-
cum:it .itlces being unwilling to stock themselves
to any extent at fortner rater, has led to
a reduction of about ld. per lb. average of
all sorts. The gene ral assoltment of the present s'tles
was good, but con'.ained a large proportion of hurry and
moity wool, by far the 'greatest quantity Sydeey. The
reduction on this class of wool (lid. to 2d. per lb.) is of
course no criterion as to the state of our market
in general, for must purchasers appear now, more than
ever, to have made up their minds, while clean wool is to
~htained, steno-t to negl,ct this c.ass altogetbe-, or take
it at such a reduction as will recompense them for
the delay, trouble, and expense in clearing the wool t,f
this objectionable drawback."

The-directors of tho North Staffordshire Railway
have forwarded to the shareholders a copy of the report
of the Committee of Investigation into the accounts, &c.,
from its formation to December, 1849, and in refer-
ence thereto they state, " The report does not venture
directly to impugn either the judgment, the diligence,
or the discretion with which the undertaking has been
managed, and concludes with the unavoidable admission
that the directors have not • promoted their own private
advantages at the t xpt-nse of the company,' but it is alto-
gether silent on the charges which must be fresh in the
recollection of the proprietors as those upon which the
proxies were obtained, and which led to the appointment
of the committee. The directors think that the report
should have distinctly stated witich of those charges
had been substantiated, or candidly avowed
that they had entirely failed ; nor can the
directors consider any statements satisfactory which
which would appear to have for their object to depre-
ciate the value of the property, and to put, even to ex-
aggeration, the worst possible cotnpl xion on
everything connected with the undertaking, per-
haps in order to justify the necessity of the
qairy. The directors presume to think that a
more accurate record and a more complete exposi:iun of
the finances, proceedings, and prospects of the
company may be found in the past reports, which
they have accordingly reprinted in anticipation,
and which they enclose fir the information
of the proprietor e. Although it would sc em
at the present time all encouragement is considered as
deceit, and that a hopeul ♦iew in the prospects of a
railway company is mistrusted as proceeding from in-
terested motives, the directors nevertheless are bound
to state that in their belief there is no undertaking
of the kind in a more healthy and honest
condition: the mortgsge debt is comi aratively small; the
current rectipte exceed the current expenses; and no
further advances will be required from the shareholders.
Notwithstanding, therefore, the difficulties with which
they have been surrounded, and those which are
still to be encountered, the directors anticipate
a continually-increasing surplus of receipts over the ex-
penditure, until, by the development of the resource's of
the line, and the vindication ef the traffic which natu-
rally belongs to i,, the railway shall at no distant
period yield a more than average return for the capital
invested?'

The total quantity of English Wheat received up to
our market this week coastwise, has not exceeded
1,990 qulrters. By land carriage the arrivals fresh up
this morning were limited. Notwithstanding that the
attendance of buyers was small, the demand for all kinds
of Wheat of home produce was somewhat active, at
fully Monday's advance in the quotations. Upwards of
14,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have reavhed us.
Selected qualities of bin h red and white moved off steadily
at very lull prices. The middling and inferior kinds
were steedy.

No English Batley offs ing ; but the supply of
foreign ssai on the increase. On the whole, a good
buiiness %as trausneted at full quotations.
We bad a fair demand for Malt, and late rates were
wcil supported.

Good sound Oats were in rt ques.t, at full pricer. Se-
e:,lidary Faceds met a slow iLquiry.
