CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 2,500 bales, comprising about 2,000 American,
100 Bahia at Bd,, 300 Surat, 51d. t 6d., and 50 Sea
Islands at ls. Oid. to ls. 21d. per lb. The marketclosed
heavily.—Railway Shares were flat.
In Mark-lane to. day Wheat was firm, and in rather
short supply.
There was no further decline yesterday afternoon in
the razes of exchange for bills upon the principal conti-
nental cities, 90 days' paper being negotiated at 11 161
to on Amsterdam: 13 4i to 5/ on Hamburgb, 25 30 to
35 on Paris, 1184 to 119 on Frankfort, and 13 30 on
Vienna.

The Amsterdam Bourse on the 25th inst. was flat, the
Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Ceets. being 54. Mexican
Bonds were 24; Austrian Stock was lower.
At Hamburgh, last Friday, the rate of exchange on
London did not go lower, being 13.24. Gold was at
4264. Coffte was very quiet, and also Grain. At
Dantzic on the 18th inst. the weather was rather un-
settled. Snow had fallen.

Respecting the alleged intention of the British Go-
vernment to select the island of Anticosti as a convict
station, it may be doubted whether there is good foun-
dation for the report, as the desire of the British
Government would be to find a cheap, healthy place for
the residence of the convicts, where, after their term of
imprisonment, they might settle. Anticosti, as we are
informed, is not such a place; its soil is unfit for cultiva-
tion; almost all articles of food must be imported, and
the convicts would not be likely to remain after their
term of servitude was over. The climate, also, is too
severe.

The English Funds are looking firmer, and there is
more inclination to coo business. Consols have been
quoted 96;i for Transfer, and 961 4 for Account. The
New Three-and. a •Quarter per Cents. have been 971
and the Three per Cents. 95i 1. The political
intelligence from abroad is nearly of the same
character as that received previously, but the announce-
ment that England has expressed to Prussia its disap-
proval of a war policy imparts confidence. The specu-
lative dealings lately have preponderated for a fall, and
should the intelligence from the Continent improve be-
fore settling-day, a rally might be expected. On the
other hand, a state of indecision and continued arma-
ments, without any actual increase of the dan-
gerous symptoms, would deter many purchases, and
perhaps bring forward sellers tired of the
protracted incertitude. Bank Stcck has been quiet at
211, and India Stock has been marked 2681. Exchequer-
bills nave realised 645. to 675., and India Bonds 84a. to
to 87s premium. Consols now are 961 4.
The foreig❑ market has been in some respects firmer,
but there i 3 no activity. Spanish Five per Cents. are
heavy at 171, and the Three per Cents. have been
quoted 39. Mexican Bonds have rallied to 311 1, and
for next Account are 32. Buenos Ayres Bonds are quiet
at 54, and Brazilian New at 86, the intelligence of a
probable war having led to no sales. Danish
Five per Cent. Bonds have fluctuated from 981 to par,
and Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
heavy at 951. Dutch Four per Cents. have realized
864 to 1.
The Railway Share market is still rather weak, and some
lines, chiefly those which had most advanced previously,
are more affected than others. Aberdeen have been as
low as Caledonian 91, and Oxford, Worcester, and
Wol►erhampton 161. They are a shade better now.
Great Western, North-Western, &c., are a little in fa-
vour of buyers. Foreign shares are dull.
In Mines and Banks there has been less animation.
