1018 to k; Exchequer Bills (1,0001.), were at 725. prem.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was dull yesterday, but
without any alteration in prices. Sales 3,000 bales, including
400 American on speculation, and 400 for export, and also
400 Pernambuco for export. There was no alteration for the
better in the Railway Shares, which were dull.
Still we have to notice the absence of late arrivals; and it
is very justly made a matter of complaint that Government
should have sent out a ten-gun brig into the Channel, in-
stead of a steamer, to assist the wind-bound vessels.
Parties interested in railways, and especially the advocates
bf the atmospheric principle, are looking with interest to the
report of three Commissioners appointed by the German
Confederation to'examine into the merits of Philip Wagner's
electro-magnetic invention. The investigation is stated to
have already coMmenced.
The Belgians continue to creep on slowly but surely with
the extension of their foreign markets. They have now es-
tablished sailing packets from Antwerp to Bahia, - •
Accounts have been received from Wellington, New Zea-
land, to the 14th DeceMber. The natives were still rather
threatening; and owing to the apprehension of Awaho for
the , crime of murder, they had dispatched messengers
to summon ruined parties from various neighbour-
ing parts. The settlers, however,_ do not appear
to be under serious apprehensions. The colony was de-
pressed in its agricultural resources, owing to the non-settle-
ment of the land claims, but its trade is progressing as
regards flax, oil, and wood. Imports were tolerably abundant,
and very low in value comparatively to the supply.
The Stock Market is firmer, but not actually buoyant.
Consols are 991 to 99Efor Money, and 991 to 9911 for Account.
They have, therefore, not yet regained what they lost on the
Account day. Exchequer Bills have been lower, 725. to
70s. premium, and India Bonds have been quiet at 945. prem.
Bank Stock has further advanced, being 199 to 200. The
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1021 to a; the Re-
duced, 1011 to 4; and the Three per Cents., 98} to 984. .

Dutch Two and a Half per Cents. at 614 to 4.
Some of the Railway Shares continue to droop. Birming-

improved a little; and Brighton are firmer.
