LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.--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 Babia to the 11th.
The Ranger 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 dolls. 750 c. to 2 dolls. 900 c. for second
to third quality, and muscovado for the Channel and
harbour at 133. 11d. for regular, and at 14s. 3d. for
rather better quality. For yellow muscovado 1 dolls.
600 c. and more were demanded. Large supplies were
expected to reach the market, which, added to a
scarcity of vessels and a prospect of higher freights,
would probably bring down the prices of sugar.
The season was about a fortnight earlier than the
preceding oue.
Purchasers of cotton for Liverpool having retired
from the market, prices had undergone a considerable
decline.

Hides were scarce, and in demand.
In freights, the first charters of the season were
taken at 40s. to British ports, and at 80s. between
Havre and Hamburgh, a cargo of sugar in bags.
In exchange 28,000/. changed hands at 284 d., part
of which was taken by the Treasury. The advices,

IS THE PALACE OF INDUSTRY STRONG
In view of the light appearance of the building in
E"
Hyde-park and its entirely novel character, it is not to
be wondered at that there should be many doubts and
surmises as to its being strong enough for its purpose.
Some doubt the columns, some the girders, some the
galleries,
UGH?
some the fastenings of the girders to the co-
lumns, some the effects of expansion and contraction; all
are easily answered.
In considering the sufficiency of strength in the build-
leg, it is to be borne in mind that the greatest strains
are all directly vertical. This vertical

are far more than capable of resisting. The only pos-
sible danger, therefore, that can arise is from any un-
zemxoenpetetaclittehdigsliar lateral strain,
each of which, on account of its shtarvaei n ,
theau such as
immensea severe
great depth, forms a most efficient lateral tie,
and for this purpose they are carefully slotted
both at top and buttout into the pillars, where they are
secured with wrought.iron bolts; and the whole of
these girders and fastenings must, therefore, by any
storm that could destroy the building, be literally
wrenched asunder. And as to weight of people in the
galleries, each individual girder is tested by means of
hydraulic presses to fully three times the weight that, by
the utmost crowding, can ever come upon them. Nor is
it the case that at the foundation the pillars are discon-
nected; they ate completely united by the cast-iron
water-way at their base. And as to the expansion or
contraction, it amounts to so small a quantity as to be
altogether inappreciable in its effects upon the upright
of any column or the fastening of any girder.
The public may, therefore, rest assured that the
Palace of Industry has more than abundant strength

This shows that the banks are still in a very sound
condition, and that a portion of the specie shipped has
been supplied by contributions from the interior and re-
ceipts from California.
Exchange for to-morrow's steamer is active, but owing
to the better supply of bills, rates have further declined.
Southern bank bills on London are dull at 1.094 dolls.,
and most of the business has been done at that or under;
some fair bills have been sold at 1.09 dolls. Francs are
also easier. Bills on Paris, 5.221 dolls. to 5.184 dolls.

Cotton-The sales to-day were about 1,600 bales,
being restricted by the greater confidence displayed by
sellers. The telegraphic system gives great facilities to
operate in this market. Under the system now in vogue
it is entirely useless for parties who design making ex-
tensive purchases to leave the comforts attending a so-
journ here. The poor planters have had it put into
them very strong recently by parties here who stated on
their arrival that they were not aware that " flowering "
had yet become general, and who could not think of
encountering the risk of a residence in a southern cli-
mate before December set in, as from the tables of growth
distributed about Manchester they saw that the frost
last year only appeared on the 15th of December, and
with one month later planting-the 15th of January
was above their idea of the ripening process closing. If
30 days' earlier flowering and 12 days' later frost, with
125,000 bales of old cotton, gives 2,100,000 as the ex-
treme result, what may be looked for now ? We say
1,925,000 bales, and we desire our readers to cut this
out and keep it before them. We have recently in-
spected returns received by parties here who have orga-
nized an unequalled system of communication by the
telegraph, and the result lays about 1,900,000 bales,
provided the country is drained. Another point we de-
sire to place on record which will astonish some of the
knowing ones. New Orleans cannot receive 775,000
bales. Another point :-Memphis delivered 140,000
bales to make up the 782,000 to New Orleans last year.
She will not deliver 85,000 bales this seasen. We could
run through the list, but are not allowed to extract more,
as the credit belongs to others. We will only add this,
that the Red River section cannot add the Memphis de-
ficit ; of this the returns admit of no doubt whatever.
Taking this as a key, what then becomes of the bottoms
of the south-west, which have been so confidently relied
on? The universally prevailing influence now is to exag-
gerate the growth, and it is very difficult, with such an
immense stake at issue, to get at the facts. We have
determined to publish every reliable statement, lit it in-
terfere with whom it may, and our columns heretofore
give evidence of our perfect independence of any clique
or class. Our space at present will not admit of more.-

Breadstuffs.-Flour-In Western and State flour there
was an active business doing, in part for the East, for
export and on speculation, while holders were very firm.
The receipts, both present and prospective, were large,
but the near approach of the close of canal navigation
induces operators to meet owners more freely, and the
market had a stiffening tendency. A considerable quan-
tity has been going into store. The stock of No. 2
superfine was limited, and higher prices were demanded
for this description. The sales of domestic to-day
amount to about 28,000 barrels, embracing 4,000 barrels
old inspected State, at 4 dolls. from store; No. 2 super-
fine at 4 dolls. 18c. to 4 dolls. 44c.; ordinary to straight
State at 4 dolls. 6qc. to 4 dolls. 75c.; mixed to straight
Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana at 4 dolls. 68ic. to 4 dolls.
81c.; round hoop Ohio at 4 dolls. 81c. to 4 dolls. 94c.;
pure Genessee at 5 dolls. to 5 dolls. 6kc.; fancy Ohio and
Genesse at 5 dolls. 12c. to 5 dolls. 373-c.; and extra
ditto and ditto at 5 dolls. 371 c. to 6 dolls. 25e. The
market for Canadian was more buoyant, at unchanged
rates. Sales were made of 4,500 barrels at 4 dolls.
62ic. to 4 dolls. 684 c. in bond. Southern flour was
more abundant, but the inquiry was fair and holders firm.
Some 900 barrels have changed hands at 5 dolls. to 5 dolls.
12c. for mixed to good Alexandria, Baltimore, and
Georgetown. Rye flour has not varied. The sales
reached 200 barrels, at 3 dolls. 621 c. In corn meal there
was more doing, without change in rates. Some 400
barrels Jersey brought 3 dolls. 12ic.; and 600 barrels
Brandywine 3 dolls. 314 c. Wheat-The receipt and
supply of domestic were good, while the demand was
brisk for prime samples. Canadian was more sought for,
and holders were somewhat firmer. The operations in-
clude 15,000 bushels good to prime white Canadian at
1 doll. 61c. to 1 doll. 7c.; 2,500 bushels red ditto, at 1
doll. 3c.; and 1,000 ditto damaged Western at 65c.; Rye
was more freely offered, and the market favoured the
purchaser. A lot of 700 bushels sold at 82c. to 8210.
afloat and 84c. delivered. Oats were in fair request with
sales of State and Canadian at 44c. to 45ie., and Jersey
at 41c. to 43c. Barley was scarce, and wanted at 89c.
to 1 doll. 3c. Corn-The receipts have increased and the
market was heavy. Buyers evinced little disposition to
operate, except at reduced prices. Since our last some
23,000 bushels have changed hands at 71c. for Southern
yellow, 70ic. for weevily Southern and Jersey (old)
yellow, 70c. for old Northern ditto in store, 69c. to 69c.
for old mixed Western in store, 66c. for new Southern
white, and 62ic. for new Northern yellow. We take
the following from the circular prepared by Mr. Bill,
broker, for the steamer Africa, which leaves this port
