CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
cstitusted at 4,000 bales, of which 1.000 American were
Lken on speculation, and 500 for export, and prices of
Amerlean were in favour of buyers. Among the sales
w, re 100 Pernam cad Maranbaw. at 61d. to CIA.; 50
at 6i.d. to 60.; 50 Egyptian, at 7d. to 71d.; and
200 Surat, at 43-d. to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were
rather firmer.

The Corn Trade is dull again, and the arrivals are
increasing.

The steamer from America brings late advice, and of
a very satisfactory character upon all that relates to
commercial affair 3. The money market was easy, and
the general trade of the country in a sound condition.
Not much was doing, however, in bread-stuffs, and cotton
was lower. This arose from the intelligence recei wed
from England. Freights were without alteration, rind
the exchange on London was 1091 to and rather
heavy. The letters are expected to he uelivered this
afternoon.

The Severn steamer, from the West Indies, has ar-
rived seieral days earlier than was expected. The ge-
neral tenor of the vows from our colonies is to the effect
that the weather had, in some places, been too dry, and
that business was rather inactive ; but there was, ma-
nifestly, less political rancour, and a strong disposition
to l ush vigorously the cultivation of new staples, and
pat ticularly cotton. Jamaica was quiet and healthy, and
various expedients were talked of for fostering com-
merce, including the substitution of direct taxation
for part of the customs duties. In Barbadoes copious
►howers fell just before the date of the present advices,
and they were greatly needed. A new bank had been
established in Antigua.
The information received at Jamaica from Hayti was
very unpromising, and the merchants were sadly ha•
rassed by the proceedings of the new Imperial Govern•
merit on the one hand, and the neighbouring republic on
the other.

One or two curious paragraphs appear in the West
Indian papers, copied from United States journals. First,
it is asserted that three provinces adjoining Pernambuco
are to be erected into a kingdom, of which Prince Join-
vine will be the king. It is admitted, however, that
such a measure would be highly unpopular and danger-
ous. Secondly, we are assured that Brazil and Paraguay
intend to declare war against Buenos Ayres, and that a
large body of Brazilian troops bad been stationed at
San Garrini.

Frankfort accounts of the Ist instant quote Austrian
Metallics 81k, and Spanish Three per Cents. 24. At
Amsterdam the home Funds were well supported, but
Foreign Stocks were quiet, and Peruvian a shade lower.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 55 to 55 1-16.
The following information, upon the state of the Wine
trade, is forwarded by Messrs. Walter, Howell, and

" Port—ln low-priced Port wines we have a demand
with a decreasing stock. The actual stock of Port
wines in Villa Nova, adapted fur export to Europe, is as
follows : Stock on the 31st of December, 1844,
137,121 pipes ; 1845, 127,375 pipes ; 1846, 113,128
pipes ; 1847, 107,745 pipes; 1848, 104,944 pipes; 1849,
82,964, showing a decrease in stock of 54,157 pipes in
five years."
"Sherry—The market remains unaltered from our
last. Clean low-priced wines are particularly in•
quired after."
The English Stock market looks better this morning,
and there is a rally in the quotations, the accounts from
Chagres stating that three millions of dollars had within
a week or two been conveyed across the isthmus; while
the West India mail steamer brings to Southampton
nearly 300,0001. The idea, too, that the Greek affair
will be early settled, seems more prevalent. Consols
have realised 95* to 95Z-, being now 951. The New
Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. are 97 to 98; and the
Three per Cent,. 94 to Bank Stock is steady, at
206. Exchequer-bills have been 545. to 575. premium.
In the Foreign Market there is a rally in Peruvian
Bonds, bet the state of the Republic as advised in the
accounts received to-day continue) unsettled. There is
a strong party here supporting the market. The Active
Bonds have been 73-1 to 74k, and the De erre i 32;12-
to 33 Equador Stock has been quoted n, and Mexican
Bonds have realised 29g. Russian Sett) has been 14 to
1-'4- prem. Dutch Four per Cents are 86k to 2. Spanish
Five per Cents have realised 17k to k.
The Railway Share Market is looking up this morn-
ing, and although there is not a largo business doing,
prices are generally higher.

- The Railway dircular brings strong charges against
the Money, Market Examiner, and in the following
terms:—

" Let us state plain facts. This paper was established
ostensibly for the elucidation of the true condition of
the public pecuniary investments. It commenced with
fair seeming, and won a degree of confidence with
some men by a show of truth. Such was its policy
in its origin. Trading subsequently on its reputation, it
has jesuitically blended truth with falsehood, regardless
of any interests but those of its conductors. Its prin-
cipal contributor, after confounding the commercial
Argus of Printing-house-square, was detected in his act,
and henceforward set up a legerdemain which none
should understand or decipher save himself and his part•
nets in their speculations on the gullibility of railway
investers. To use the words of the satirist, its asser-
tions have been both true and new, but unhappily those
which are true are not new, and those which are new
are not true."

In consequence of some misunderstanding having
taken place, with respect to that portion of the report of
the Bi and of Health relating to intramural interments
which points to the expediency of a general cemetery
on a large scale, removed from the metropolis, we think
it right to sti.to that neither the members of the Board of

Health nor the Government hold them*(;lves at all re-
stricted to the plan of a single burying-place to this vast
city.--Sunday Paper.
