CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The tales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti•
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export; 1.5001 American, 1,400 Pernam and
Maranh,rn, and 600 Bahia on speculation. The sales
comprised about 5,500 American, 2,500 Pernam and Ma-
ranham, at 71-d. to 81d.; 800 Bahia, at 8 d. to 84d.; 500
Surat, at Sid. to sid.; and 120 Sea island, at Is. 21,1.
to Is. sd. per lb. Common American were id. per lb.
higher, and other qualities, t Tether with Brazil, d. per
lb. higher. In Surat and Egyptian there is no alteration.
—Railway Shares were firm, R t previous rates.
The weekly sales of Wheat in the:markets which govern
the averages increased considerably as per last return.
At Amsterdam, on:the 3d inst., Dutch Two-arid-a-
Half per Cents. were 54 15-16; other Securities were
buoyant. At Frankfort, on the 2d inst., Austrian Me-
tallies were 70 to t.
Cape of Good Hope advices of October 16 state that
subscriptions were getting up to relieve the distress of
the Kafir tribes.

An interesting and novel case bas lately been argued
i❑ Lowell (United States), and is now before the full
Bench for consideration, wherein the owner of a mill
privilege, supplied by a pond, seeks; for an injunction
against persons who are taking ice therefrom for the
purpose of sale. The claim is, that so large a
quantity of ice is taken away that the flow
of water is thereby diminished, and the mill
privilege injured, and is based on the well-established
principle of law, that no one has the right to
divert from its natural channel a running stream of
water. If the same principle is applied in the case of
ice, it will give the control of the ponds to all persons
who own upon streams flowing therefrom, and perhaps
in many places interfere with the ice business, which in
the vicinity of Boston has become very extensive and
profitable.

- The monthly returns of the Trade and Navigation of
the United Kingdom have been completed to the sth
ultimo, and the following will afford a summary of the
whole:— TOTAL EXPORTS.

The increase of the month arises upon the following
articles principally:—

Ditto Yarn ... ... ... 662.020 ... 644,056

Leather unwrought ... 9,142 ... 13,397
Woollen yarn ... .. 110,376 ... 158,173
In the shipments of beer during the past month there
was a slight increase, and also in earthenware, flint
glass, haberdashery, machinery, copper, refined sugar,
and sheep,' wool.

A decrease on the month occurred in the exports of
silk, woollen goods, iron, coals, and one or two other
articles.

The imports of a few of the principal staples are for
;he month, to the sth November, as under:—

Coffee

The shipping entered for
during the month stood thus:—

1849. 1850.
Inwards ... tons 468,803 ... 520,619
Outwards ... „ 427,854 ... 423,803
The coasting trade showed the arrivals of the month
to be 944,067 tons against 979,705 tons in 1849; and the
clearances .1,019,652 tons against 1,009,762 tons in 1849.
The English Stock Market has been very well sup-
ported again to-day, and rather fuller quotations have
la en obtained. The foreign intelligence seems, upon
the whole, to be of a pacific character, although
alarming reports ire still kept up. The Ex-
traordinary improvement in the Rentes at Paris
will serve to show how excessive has been the
recent speculation for a fall, but here the very high rate
of " continuation" paid would argue the existence
of a numerous party going for the rise.
Consols have been marked 97i a for Transfer,
and 97/ to 98 for January. Bank stock has been firm
at 212 to 21.3, and East India Stock has been steady at
269 to 271.. The New Three-and•a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 971 1 and the Three per Cents. 964 On
Exchequer-bills the premium is 645. to 675.

Foreign Seetiritiei have been steady, but not active.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 18i, and
Portuguese Four per Cents. 341. Mexican Stock has
been quoted 32i 1, being firm. Peruvian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. remain nt 79k. Russian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been marked 961, and Dutch Two-
and-a- Half per Cents. have been rather btu)) ant at 564
to 57e.
The Railway Share Market has been rather fluctu-
ating, but a good deal of business has been transacted,
and the quotations are fairly supported. The advance
of yesterday has, nevertheless, had the usual effect of in-
ducing the realization of profits, and buyers consequently
have a temporary advantage.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this
day, are in round figures as under:—
1850. 1849.
