[HONEY and COMMERCIAL bit:lV&
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated a; 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were
tsken for export, and the remainder by the trade. The
reaket closed heavily.—ln lt4ilway Shares a fair busi-
ness was done at belt :r quotations.
The letters by the steamer from North America were
delivered this morning, the dates from New York being
to the end of last month. Another large produce house
had suspended payment there, the liabilities being stated
as high as 1,500,000 dollars, and the assets compara-
tively limited. Several of the banks would suffer, as the
concern enjoyed great credit up to the last moment.
Other houses in the same line are said to have lost con-
siderably by provisions, and to be in consequence very
weak. The receipts of produce this year at New York
from the interior show a deficiency in flour of 225,482
barrels; wheat, 283,407 bushels; and Indian corn,
1,222,311 bushels, but in barley there was an Increase of
40,071 bushels.

The statements about the growing crop of Cotton
were conflicting; from some sections the drought was
complained of, but this was not generally the case.
During the present year about 13,000,000 dollars in gold
have been received at New York from California.

The amount of immigration at New York was as large
nearly as for some time past, 6,685 persons having
arrived there in the week preceding the date of our ad-
vices. One ship from Liverpool had 750 persons on
board. The American Government was resolved to put
in force the law preventing the landing of convicts. Eight
out ten of those from Bermuda were in custody at New
York, awaiting the sailing of the brig Swan to Bermuda.
The other two got away from the city. The bonds of
3,000 dollars against Captain Pierce will only be can-
celled in the event of bis brieging back a receipt to New
York of the delivery of the convicts from the American
Consul at Bermuda or the Governor of the convict hulk,
Medway.
A vessel arrived from St. Domingo had brought the
intelligence that the Emperor Ftiustin I. was fitting up
an expedition against the Windward Islands, both by
sea and land. It was said the naval force would consist
of two large square-rigged vessels, and a propeller; the
latter was in preparation in some part of Europe, sup-
posed in England. Some three weeks previous three
white inhabitants of influence bad been beheaded, for
what the authorities considered a too free expression of
political opinions.
At Hamburgh on Friday last the exchange on London
was a shade lower, being 13.7. Money was plentiful.
Coffee was still in brisk demand.
There was no business done at Amsterdam on the lith
inst. in Public Securities.

silence his opposition. The elections throughout
Spain, according to the information from Madrid, were
progressing in favour of Ministers. Mexican Bonds are
steady at 291, and Peruvian at 811 to 82. The tele-
graphic accounts from Mobile notice the meeting of the
Mexican Congress on the Bth ultimo, and the formal re-
commendation of the President that the condition of the
Treasury should be early taken into consideration. The
