The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday bad a very
firm appearance, and fully 10,000 bales were sold at steady
prices, and in some instances rather higher. Exporters took
2,500 bales, and speculators 500. The sales included
300 Egyptian, at 7d. to Bid. ; 100 Bahia, at 5Ad. ; .200
Maranham, at 5/d. to ad. ; 500 Surat, at 3d. to 3/d. ; and the
rest American at 3i to 7d for New Orleans.—Shares were
rather languid. Eastern Counties,ll/ ; Grand Junction, 217 ;

There are no ship-letters to-day, but the Brazil Aran
is considered due. Her advices, however, will probably not
be of particular interest, as we have intelligence by private
ship to the 20th April, and the packet was to leave on the
22d of that month.
The renewed division on the Sugar Bill, leaving the ques-
tion in abeyance till next year, has not caused any vexation
in Mincing-lane, as the importers and dealers are harassed by
these frequent petty changes, and would rather go on till a
decided alteration can bemade. At the sametitne, it admitted
that if the free foreign sugar could have been got in without
much delay, but ell, owing to the distinctive vouchers
required as to their growth, &c., few persons believe, a boon
would have been conferred upon the consumer.
The movement of the agriculturists against the Bank
Charter Bill is considered to be gaining ground, as, indeed,
the farmers begin to be more sensible of the increased diffi-
culty they will experience in obtaining occasional money
accommodation from the local banks. Numerous petitions
have been adopted, in substance mostly agreeing, but
especially directed to this point.

provement ofyesterday afternoon. Consols for Account have
