The cotton trade keeps steady, and pri

there was sold The following American des.
criptions: IL 800 bales N o. at 8 to 3 3.4d

evening closed with steadiness, and on re.
ferring to our price current to-day, it will
be observed that we make ltleer no change
in our quotations of last week. The com.
mittee of cotton brokers have declared
the following TO be the quotations for fair
cotton. viz: Upland 8 l.sd; Mobile, 8 7.sd;
New Orleans, 4 l-sd per pound.
The market for cured provisions hasbeen
firm since our previous notice. Pork has
been freely taken, and bacon has advanced
9. TO IS. per cwt. Lard is in fair request,
and although lower in the early part of
last week, has since recovered. Cheese is
in less active demand. During the week
the imports comprise 1873 boxes of bacon:
1872 bbs. and 80 kegs of lard; 1913 casks
of butter; and l,O4s boxes of cheese.
The imports of foreign grain and grains
produce, in Liverpool, London and other
leading ports in the United Kingdom, are
increasing; and this, combined with a pref
~ fair quantity of home grown, keeps mar
kets on the whole wellsupplied. In the alb
sence of speculation, the. trade exhibits a
total want of animation-buyers only pur.
chase for the supply of immediate or pres
sing wants. AT Mark Lane, on Monday
! last, wheat sold at 81 to SIS for red, and 55
TO 69s per quarter for best English white.
Indian corn brought 81 to 3Ss per quarter
for red and white. The sale of American
flour was dull, but the prices quoted varied

ded one penny per 10 lbs. The following
rates were paid for American descriptions
of wheat; Canadian, free, red, Is Cd to Is
Sd per bushel; white Is 10 to IS I'd; u. S.

FRANCE.
1t is reported that the Rothschilds intend
TO lquidae their affairs in Paris. This,
doubtless contributed TO the decline of
French funds-the three per cents. falling
as low as 40, and the five per cents. at SO
but with the prospects favoring.
The French Constitution has received
the final sanction of the National Assem-
bly,. The English press fear it forebodes
evil consequences.
The election of Napoleon to the Presi,
dency is still expected, But with fearful
struggle. Gen. Cavaignac has made suita-

Vienna has at length surrendered TO the
Imperial troops after an eight days seige.
Until the 2slh ult, six days were consumed
in endeavoring to bring The Vicnnese into

tain better terms of surrender from the
commander of the Imperial forces, but all
