CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4- sti.
mated at 1,500 bales, chiefly ttincrican. The market
closed very flatly at a decline of id. per lb. since Friday
last.—Railway Shares were firm.
The necessity of providing additional mail facilities
to the isl And of Jamaica, now the route of the West
India Company's steamers is altered, becomes very
urgent, it we are to attach weight to the representations
we receive, and we regret that there seems to be no way
of accomplishing the end in view except by the ent,tr-
prise of an American company, which alone, probably,
could make the route pay. The position of matters wilt
be bust understood perhaps by the following copy of a
letter addressed to Robert Munroe Harrison, Esq.,
Consul of the United States of America:—
" Sir,—We the undersigned inhabitants and merchants
of the island of Jamaica, have to request that you will
again address your Government, to solicit the establish-
ment of a regular mail communication through the port
of Kingston, which your reply to the address of the in-
habitants of this island of the 2d September lsst, upon
this subject, led us to hope would have been acceded to.
" The communication established between this port
and the United
,Stores has been of great advantage to
the inhabitants of this island, and to many of the citi-
zens of the United States as well to those concerned
in the trade of this island as to those having rela-
tions with the adjacent continent, both on the Atlan-
tic and Pacific, but great injury has been sustained
for want of a regular postal communication such as has
been established with the United States, and other Bri-
tish colonies.

" Head Quarters, Renchburg, August 22, 1850."
Accounts from Copenhagen of the 22d instant have
been received. Tne breaking out of the cholera at
Schonen is diverting the public mind from the theatre
of war. No case of this tearful disorder has hitherto
appeared in Zealand, but several cases of malignant
cholera have appeared in Bandholm.
The cholera has also broken out in Melmoe, in the
province of Scania, in Sweden, where it rages with great
intensity. Tne appearance of this terrible disease in
a town lying exactly opposite to Copenhagen, from
which it is only three leagues distant, has caused a
complete panic there.
The Government has given orders that all provi-
sions coming from Malmoe and its environs shall be
subject to a quarantine of ten days. It is worthy of
remark that this is the very first town that the
cholera has ever appeared in in Sweden, and that this
malady has never yet existed in Denmark.
Baron PECHLIN has gone to Berlin and Vienna as
Ambassador extraordinary.
The Berlin Voss Zeitung gives accounts from Co-
penhagen to the effect that the Danish army could
not undertake the attack upon liendsburgh, and were
consequently preparing for their .winter quarters in
the town and vicinity of Schleswig, and that the
Danes were building bridges over the Schlei, and
erecting for each a strong tete du pont.

" The arrangement of this measure will be of great im-
portance at this period, as the dire: tors of the Virvst India
steamers, which have hitherto c,irri, d on the mail coin •
munication from this port, have lately altered their route,
and the ports f New Granada, with which there has
bee❑ a great trade, will be no longer accessible from
this island, except by the uncertain transit of sailing
vessels.

Under these circumstances, and from the great ad-
ditional advantages to be derived from the American
steamers trom the carriage of passengers, mails,
treasure, &c., in this abandoned route, we hope your
Government will be induced at the earliest possible pe-
riod to establish a regular mail communicaton from the
United States, through this island to the ports of New
Granada.

";Signed by all the merchants."
Commenting upon this, a party writing from King-
ston, states—

" Should the Americans think it worth their while to
accede to the reque3t, 1 have no doubt of the advantages
that will rt,sult to the undertakers as well as to this
island. If the American steamers were only to be ad-
vertised to leave, and leave here at statei periods regu-
larly, I feel perfectly convince:] that in u fvw. very few
mouths, the British steamers would have little induce-
ment to show themselves here at all. They will neither
secure mails or passengers; all, or nearly all, will be
transferred to your ships. It is a pity, a thousand
pities, that poor Jamaica is so neglected, Our
harbour is not surpassed, perhaps, in the world,
and the facilities for coaling steamers and cup-
plying them with water and provisions, are great.
For instancy, the Cherokee came to her wharf this
morning about nine o'clock (the wharf of Messrs.
Hitchins and Co.), requiring about 250 tons of coal, and
a large supply or provisions. She has nearly received
all on board, and will be ready for se t to•nigitr. I trust
most sincerely that our requests will find favour with the
Americans."

Bills on the principal continental cities, dated ninety
days, were negotiated yesterday afternoon at 25 50 to
55 on Antwerp, 13 101; to 114 on Hamburgh, 12 2 to
2} on Amsterdam, 25 55 to 61 on Paris, 1204 to kon
Frankfort, and 11 49 to 52 on Trieste.
In the Amsterdam Buurse, on the 25th instant, not
much was doing in Dutch Stock, but prices generally
were rather better. In Foreign Stocks, also, the transac-
tions were limited. Dutch Two-and•a•Ha per Cents.
were 57 3-16.

Although there has been again but a limited business
transacted in Public Securities, the quotations have been
rather firmer, and the fine weather seems to encourage
a few purchases. Consols have realised 964- to for
Transfer, and 968 to k for Account. The New Tore,-
and-a. Quarter per Cents. have been marked 9S to 99k,
and the Three per Cent. Annuities 97 to 8. Bank
Stock has been at 215 k. The rise in this security during
the last week or two would justify the impression that
the profits of the "Old Lady " are increasing. Exche-
quer-bills have been 655. to 68s. premium.
The foreign investments have been moderately dealt
in. Spanish Stock is most looked af!er just nos, and the
meeting, which is being held at the hour cf our writing,
excites considerable interest. The Five'per Cent. Bonds
are 18k to I. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
34. Brazil Bonds are 92k, and Alexicsit 29i. Dutch
Two- and•a•Hall per Cents. have been 578.
Railway Shares are steady.
