The settlement of this sugar question, and the progress towards free trade made by the basis upon which the duties upon that important arti- cle now rests, have had a good effect upon the markets generally, and tended to create more confidence in commercial aflairs. Capital has, therefore, been more abundant, and there ap- peared to be more disposition to employ it in mercantile pursuits than usual. This is indica- tive of more favorable times, as soon as the other political questions of any importance, under con- sideration, are disposed of. The adjournment of Parliament will put at rest all the matters likely to affect commercial matters, when we may look for some real improvement in the money market and in business generally. __ Great Britain and the United States are some- what similarly situated in relation to their com- mercial systems. Within the past six months great and important changes have been made in each; and there is very great doubt in the minds of the commercial classes, as to the operation of the new systems, and un’il something more 13 known of them, they will be very cautious in their movements. There has heen a greater revolution in the commercial system of the United States than in that of Great Britain, and the alterations made in our tariff laws go into effect much quick- er than those of Great Britain. What we do in twonths, the ministry of England require years to perfect. Avery gradual change is made in the commercial policy of England, while the most abrupt and sudden changes are made in the com- mercial policy of the United States upon the most unreasonable data, and merely as an experi: ment, and more in accordance with party princi- ples, than in accordance with the best interests of | the country. Party expediency required the al- terations made in our tariff, while the real in- terests of the masses was looked to in the altera- tions made in the tariff of Great Britain. The first is an experiment ; and the second, the result of necessity and experience. We have opened markets for the manufactures of Great Britain, without receiving any guaranty that we shall find additional markets for our pro- ducts. It is true that we are placed upon the same footing as other nations and can enter our agri- cultural products as favorably as any others, but it does not follow that we are to be benefited in any way by that, as it is only under peculiar circum- stances that we can compete successfully with other grain growing countries. We cannot, there- fore, resist the impression, that the changes which have been made in the tariffs of both coun- tries, will operate more to the advancement of the principal interests of England, than to the pros- perity of any domestic interest of the United States. While the new tariff of this country will ope- been decitedly small, only 4,700 quarters having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. The quantity exhibited at Mark lane by land carriage samples from the neighboring counties of Essex, Kent and Suffolk, sivce last Monday, has al-o been trifling Under these cir- cumstances needy buyers hive been compelled to pay nearly former terms for the small parcels they have | been obliged to take to satisfy pres sing wants; but there has been a languor about the trade indicative ef a fur- small excess of supply over demand would cause a de cline: indeed, to plare the few ordinary parcels left over on Friday, after the best hat been picked out, it was necessary to accept somewhat less money, though the abatement submitted to was not of sufficient import. ance to render alterations in quotations requisite.— quatity and in excellent condition ; for a small lot of very fine white, grown in the neighborhood of Grays (Essex), 568 per qr. was paid, and another parcel— also Essex, not quite so bold, but very dry—brought 64s per qr. The great fall which has occurred in the value of wheat since the perio! when the new corn Jaws came into operation, has had a material influence onthe averages, the last weekly return for the king- dom being only 49« 11d; it is, therefore, cortain that the duty will rise to 7s per qr. either on Thurs next or the following week: and, from present app ances, there is a strong probability that ere t! the month, the highest duty under the present viz., 108 per qr, will be payable. The very low range of prices here, and the comparatively high value of Wheat abroad, together with the prospect of a 10a. duty, must tend to check importations at least for a time; but sooner or later prices on the coutinent will,we doubt not, accommodate themselses.to the state of things on this sile. Whether this wiil occur previous to the setting in of the winter, may be questioned; and it is, therefore, quite possible that until next spring the foreign receipts may be comparatively cnimportant. These considerations may perhaps enable holders of that already here to obtain somewhat better rates than they otherwise could have reckoned on; and hitherto they have manilested less anxiety to press sales than might been expected. Uj tothe present time the finer gn wheat have been held relatively high- wan English—a circumstance which may, in some , account tor the limited nature of the transac- Country buyers have found no advantage in com- ing to London'to buy wheat, having beén enabled to urchas quite as easy terms of te fa espective neighborhoods, Th eign at Mark lane has, paratively retail sc The dis since our last, b 1 ve ia some cases shown @ willingness to make. having failed te tempt our millers to take more than requisite for immediate use There is very little wheat in bond at present, and as it is deemed le tat orders may be received from France, the je has been held relatively nigher under lock than tree The demand for Flour has been exceedingly slow thronghbut the week; the nominal top price for town- made kas remained unaltered. but ship samples have been offered at lower rates.

On the whole, The total quantity of Oats received has amounted to 31,165 qrs.,ot which 1,145 qrs. are from our own coast, 2,100 qrs.from Scotland, 1,226 qrs. from Ireland, and 26,644 qrs. from abroad.

We are existing under a new order of things, or in cther words have at present no commercial system atall. We are hanging between two systems, one we must soon drop, and the other we must soon adopt; and it is pretty difficult to keep the in no degree improved, holders have displayed conside No inclination to enter into speculativ it has been in- ‘The belief that peas will prove a very defective c1 has been neglec' parcels of new brought to placed with some diffi- the fe hi ince our last, arket sinc jonday, Comranativs Paces o Grain 1x Loxpon.

There is at present no prospect of any additional outlet for our immense surplus'of agricultural products, and there is every evidence of a large importation of foreign merchandize without a corresponding exportation of our own produce in payment.— There appears to be a complete derangement of commercial matters, and there is no health in us. This can be principally attributed to the effect of the new commercial systems of both countries, upon trade, even in anticipation of their opera- tion; and until things become permanently set- tied upon the new basis, we cannot expect any very great activity; or any important movements in the commercial world, By our advices from the Baltic it ness in wheat had been perfectly parulized by ¢ tinued discouraging accounts from ,hence, and that ship- his must, however, be considered as perfectly natural ; and until prices give way 12s to 15s. per quarter on the other side, no pur- chases are likely to be made on Engliah account.

His firat attempt was last year, in Boston, with the greatest success—but there he was ably supported by numbe from the old country. This success emboldened him to come to New York, where he engaged the best ground in the neighborhood for such a display—namely, the Centreville Track on Long Island—just far enough to keep the rabble off—yet not at such a distance as to re- tard respectable persons from attending. The amuse- ment was announced to come off on Monda: but in consequence of the sudden change in the w postponed unto yesterday.

There were some 9 or 10 competitors—a gentleman named M’M. threw the article in the first instance some 40 feet ; he was exceeded by another some two feet ; he then threw again and :eached close upon 48 teet. Several others made some futile attempts to beat this, but it was no go. ‘0 9, climbing the greasy pole wus next opened for competitors, but anly one or two boys tried the affair, and gave it up as an hopeless job No 2 next came off Wm.

The poor birds had no chance at all they were thrown right in the muzzles of the piece but notwithstanding some escaped, and others ata hundred or two yards distance. Then was am ced the wheelbarrow race, but no wheelbarrows were forthcoming. A couple of sulk: were provided, and Wm. Barlow and a stranger took one. They went round the course with their ey: n, well together, but on coming home Barlow bade competitor good bye, and it was all up with him ; he Jed home with ease twenty yards in front. ‘Thus ended the first display of old English sports in this neighborhood, and were it not for untoward cir- cumstances, certain we are they would have been better tronized ; however, they better eppreciated.
