Aletter Is published from Consul Dudley
in Liverpool papers, regarding the cotton
supply from America. Me-. Dudley, ap-
pehtls a letter ddFessefi to him on the 27th
says that from the best Information he
col1d obtain, he estimated old cotton in
Southern States fit for market, at the time
of the capture of Savannah, did lot exceed
one million bales, This, years crop, he adds,
will probably not exceed three hundred
thousand bales. Mr.. Dudley says that when
recently in America he made most anxious
inquiries on the subject, and he estimates
the present amount OF cotton on hand a lit
tie over 100000 bales, including the new
crop.
Al crowded reform meeting had been

sented to Earl RUSSELL W.. aaN
1t is stated precautions have been taken
at Pigeon House Fort Dublin, to prevent
any surprise by members Of the Fenian
Brotherhood. 1t is also asserted that
the military vigor displayed there
has arisen out of energy infused
into the r administration of affairs
by Sir Hugh Rose, and from the fact that
the hulk Mermaid lying at Fort Dock had
on board a large, quantity of ammunition
and military stOfes, which needed protec-
ton. Another vague rumor is that thirty
large vessels had appeared In the Otling,
and that the cOmmandant of the fort had
sent word that he could not be responsible
for the safety of the fort unless he received
reinforcements.
The controversy in the London papers as
to putting down negro Instructions in ia

The Circular of the evening of the 22d
says: The market for American securities
has shown less activity during the past
week than for some tinle'pPsS the demand
for 5-20's on cOntinentaF-Account having
almost ceased for the present, though latest
| quotations, 6358@631s, show only frac-
tiOnal alteration from last week. Illinois and
Erie shares were both neglected until the ar
rival of the City of Boston, when a demand
| sprung up for Fries, on which they i'm
proved about 81 share, closing at 55@5514 d.
Illinois shares advanced slightly in sympa-
| thy, and at last were quoted at S2@S211, or
| Ia higher on the week. the close there
was certainly the greatest disposition shown
by home investors to take American secu-
rites, on the expectation that all matters
of dispute betweent the English and United
States Governments will be amicably ar
ranged.
