When the cotton crop of 1847 began to come in, prices opened liberally, as will be seen by the quotations for September. The idea of a short crop had its influence, which, with reduced stocks in France and on the continent, gave impulse and activity to the market. On the 1st of October the quotation for fair was 11 cents; in November, however, a decline commenced. Large failures in Europe, from speculations in grain, by which the credit of houses, long conspicuous in the mercantile world, was withdrawn from the usual channels, together with heavy calls on railway shares, produced great stringency in the money market. Depression ensued in business, and cotton, as the leading article, and consequently most exposed to sympathetic influence, had to submit. On the 17th of November fair cotton was fully down to 7 cents, a decline of 4 cents having taken place in the short space of six weeks. From this date the market rallied about one cent per pound, and continued steady until the latter part of March. TRADE OF ENGLAND WITH HER NORTH AMERICAN COLONIES.

SAINT CATHARINE DOCKS, LONDON. The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held in London on the 12th July, 1848, for the purpose of declaring a dividend for the half year, ended the 30th of June last, and for the election of twenty-one directors for the year ensuing. The usual abstracts of returns of shipping and tonnage that entered the port of London with cargoes from foreign ports, and also of the ships with cargoes that entered the docks from like places, and of the goods landed during the preceding six months; also of the quantity of merchandise in warehouse on the 30th of June, with a comparative statement for the corresponding periods in the years 1845, 1846, and 1847, were submitted for the information of the proprietors. From these it appeared that a considerable falling off had taken place during the last six months, but in the corresponding six months of 1847 there had been, from the peculiar circumstances of the time, which were well known, a very great increase in the importations of corn and flour, provisions, rice, sugar, and other bulky articles, as compared with the first six months of 1846. Those peculiar circumstances being no longer in operation, and having been succeeded by an extreme depression of trade, the importations, as far as the St. Catharine Docks were concerned, had been reduced to what they were in the corresponding period of 1846, the difference being the most trifling possible, viz: The stock goods in warehouse June 30, 1846, was.

We give below a tabular statement, derived from an authentic source, of the comparative exports of hemp and sugar to the United States and Europe for a series of years; also a table of sundry articles of merchandise to the United States in each of the years 1845 to 1847, inclusive: COMPARATIVE EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE FROM MANILLA FOR THE YEARS EXPORTS OF TEA FROM CHINA TO GREAT BRITAIN.
