(En,a, The Sufi of Last NiJa.)
In the Liverpool market yesterday the sales of Cot-
ton were 8,000 bales, including ;3,000 American on
speculation. Prices were very steadily supported. The
principal feature in Railway Shares was again the excited
state of West York, West Biding, and Leeds and Thick.
The following are some intersting extracts from the
letter of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewe.sbury, touching upon
the state of the mercantile markets

The improved demand for labour continues to operate
with considerable effect on the necessaries of life, the in-
creasing consumption of which is daily manifesting itself. By-
observing travellers from all parts of the country, we are
happy to learn that there are prospects of an abundant har-
vest, and we have no fear of its being well reaped, if the
season corresponds with former ones to the end, as it has
done to this time, and it is to be hoped that these blessings
will be as gratefully received as they are fret given. We
learn, by a gentleman who has just arrived from the Conti-
nent, and passed through the great corn-growing dis-
tricts of South-Rassia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Bo-
hemia, Silesia, &c., that everywhere the crops were
abundant, and quality excellent—that the greater part
was cut, and some already housed, that the weather was
splendidly fine, but so hot in the shade the thermometer
ranged for days and days together between 92 and 9S degrees
Farhenheit, that the oldest peasants said they bad never wit-
nessed so hot and fine a harvest time.
" Accounts from Calcutta to the 9th June state that agri-
culture generally looked very promising, and good crops were
expected, if nothing occurred to prevent them ; but the sea-
son so far, is very similar to those when great inundations
have followed; and some of the old natives express great
fears that such will be the case. The low price of our April
sales of indigo had given great dissatisfaction, and the loss to
many of the shippers was considerable. The fact is, that
India produce is generally held too high in that market, and
British manufactures sold too low to make the trade with that
country profitable."
Letters from the United States of America to the 15th
ult., state "that in the Western States the crops of wheat
had been mostly housed, in fine condition ; that even in
Ohio, where a failure had been contemplated, the crops had
turned out above an average, and that, generally, there was
an abundance of every kind of produce, but the greatest in-
crease was in sheep's wool, an article which has been much
attended to of late years. The business in the Eastern States
differs nothing front our last report."
The letters and papers by the Dee steamer reach to the
9th July front Jamaica, the 4th from Trinidad, the 6th from
Demerara, the 10th from Barbadoes, and the 2d from Vera
Cruz. Mexico was in a very disturbed state, and the insecu-
rity of life and property was becoming every day greater.
Upon this view of matters, therefore, we should be disposed
to think that the danger of a war with Texas is extremely
remote. _

In Jamaica the weather was propitious, and agricultu-
ral prospects were cheering. Great things are evidently ex-
pectel from the Hill Coolies. In Barbadoes the drought was
still much felt; and strange to say in Demerara there had
been a wet season, and dry weather was wished for. It is
stated that several negroes sent formerly from the British
colonies to Surinam are still held in slavery, but it is clearly
a nice point of law whether the Dutch have not the right
to detain them, having obtained them before we emancipated
our colonial labourers.

The Funds have been very firm to-day, with a moderate

The Foreign market is still comparatively dull. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 33%, being steady. Portuguese Con-
vertart have been 641,x, being rather flat. Mexican are firm
at 36%. French Five per Cents. obtain 12If. 50c.
There is a fair business doing again in Railway Shares, but
the disposition is rather to sell. London and -York Shares
have gone lower, as it is considered impossible that the Bill
can pass the Lords this session.
