The Cotton market at Liverpool had a dull appearance.
on Saturday. Sales, 2,000 bales, of which 500 Were
taken by speculators.—The new Railway Shares COr
tinned in request, but others were heavy. Birmingball
and Gloacester, 106 ; Caledonian, 41 ; Chester an
Holyhead, Si- ; Churnet Valley, 4k ; Dublin and Coil"

There arc very nu's-wrote; arrivals to day, but except
the West India steamer, they do not bring later into'
igence. The weather in Jamaica and most of the other
islands had been rather favourable fur the agriculturists
i
but great alarm appears to have been excited in most °
our West India possessions by shocks of an earthquake,
-Jamaica on this occasion appearing to have eseaped;
NO lives had been lost, nor although the shocks were °`
unusually lengthened duration had there been any de'
struction of property.
Answers to some of the petitions sent home against
iny alteration in the sugar duties had been taken en"
and which intimate that her Majesty had gracioutti
received them.
It is stated o:at Flamburgh has made propositions for
in alliance with the Zollverein, being jealous of the
treaty arranged between Belgium and Prussia ; but the
statement reeds no confirmation.
The market for the Public Securities is not quite 0o
eight as on Saturday. Consuls for Transfer realise 100} I,
mad for Time 1001 *. The Commissioners have Pr'
..;hased 5,0001., part at 1001 and the rest at 1001.
chequer Bills obtain 745. to 765. premium. Bank Stec'
is worth 210, and India Stock 288 to 2881, being stead'
The market is decid, dly less buoyant, and the accoe
from Otaheite of the insult to a British officer is the de'
iressing cause ; for although there have been no large
sales, it causes an uneasy alarm.
The Foreign Bonds arc rather flat, generally. The
receipt of only 40,000 dollars from Mexico, though, it 11
said, there is a large amount ready to come forward, Ilse •
made the stock of that Republic heavy at 341 to 35. Ths,
Deferred Bonds have been 151; Columbian have realised
i4l ; Brazil Stock is 86k. For Portuguese Converted
full prices continue to be paid—viz., 491 to 50k. Spaniel/
Five per Cents.; have been - 231 to 231 ; and the Thre!

:ower. The Deferred are 14 ; Venezuela realise 43 to
44 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 621 to 62/t
.).nd the Five per Cents. 98.
The Railway Shares have been generally firm, and ill
moderate request. Bristol and Exeter, 8; and Chester
and Holyhead, 31- to premium. Eastern Connate,
