CITY, QUAIiiER 1-4.) TiLALI2,II..

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from
4,000 to 5,000 bales, all to the trade, at lA3d. per lb. lower
than the quotations of last week. The business consisted of
250 Egyptian, at 6d. to 71/2d.; 100 Pernams at 6d. to 614 d.,
and the remainder American, at 34d. to 7d. per lb. The
market is very flat.
Shares continued in a very depressed state, prices being
still lower than heretofore.
Among the commercial items from New York to-da:, by
the Independence, we find the following:—
" The foreign trade of any country is generally looked upon
as being an index of the prosperity of the people, and is consi-
dered evidence of the progress made in commercial matters.
The extent of the imports into any country is considered evi-
dence of the wealth of the people of of that country, and the
extent of the exports some evidence of the resources of that
country. The foreign trade of every nation comprises but a
sin all port ion of its commei cial movements, but the outlet large
exportations give to the products of any country is sure to pro-
duce a favourable state of trade at home. 'We export about
one .tenth part of the total agricultural products of the
country, whereas we do not import a one-hundredth part of
the amount of merchandise consumed in the country. The
foreign trade of the United States at the present time, is not
so large, in proportion to the population, as it was in the early
years of the history of the country. The agricultural exports
of the country are not so great, in proportion to the popula-
tion, as they were forty years ago. The increase in the ex-
portation of products of the soil from this country since 1800
has been confined principally to the supply of cotton."
The Flour markets in all parts of the United States were
most active at the date of the present advises. The ship-
ments of Flour for Great Britain were upon a most extensive
scale, and the supplies from the interior were considerable.
Prices, however, had advanced to such a point that it was
considered more than probable that the recent
orders that had been received out would not be half exe-
cuted until further advices had been received out from Europe.
There is nothing fresh in the present advices of importance
connected with the Oregon question. The war party, how-
ever, was as rampant as ever, while all the respectable por-
tion of the public journals were inure strongly in favour of
peace.
The continuation upon Consols amounts to from 1/2 to 5/3
per cent. For Money the price now is 941/2, and for the Ac-
count 951/8. The market is heavy. The pay-day on the
Consular Account went off very well, and cash is said to
have become more abundant. A gcod deal has been done in
Exchequer-bills this morning at premiums varying from
235. to 255. Bank Stock has fallen from 254 to 203. India
Stock opened at 260, and it is now at 262.
In the Foreign Funds the prices are still drooping. Alexi.
can has receded from 294 to 283/4 • Spanish from 28 to 271/2
the Three per Cents. to 3714. The Dutch Two-and-a-Hal
per Cents. were at 5814 3/4, and the Four per Cents, at 911,.x.
The Railway Share Markets are in a most heavy con
dition, as the official list of prices will show:—

DEATHS OF Two CHILDREN BY FIRE.—On Thurs.
day night Mr. W. Paine held two inquests at Guy's Hos-
pit 1, the bodies of John Bannen, aged two years, and
Tamer Johnson, aged six. In the former case it appears
that the parents of the deceased reside in Green-bank, St.
Olive's, and on Monday forenoon last the child was at play
with some other children in a room in which there was a
fire, and in poking a piece of wood amongst the burning
coals, his pinafore ignited, and he was shockingly burnt be-
tore the fire could be extinguished. He was removed imme-
diately to the above hospital, where he expired on Tuesday.
In the second case the deceased's parents have the care of
chambers in Great Tower-street, City, and on Tuesday fore-
noon she was sitting before the fire when a burning coal flew
out of the grate and into her lap, and ignited her pinafore.
Her screams brought assistance, but the fire was not extin-
guished before she was dreadfully burnt. She was taken to
the hospital, where she expired on 'Wednesday. Verdict,
in each case, "Accidental death."
