Pablic Debts of the States_Improvement in thelr Finances. ‘The financial condition of our State treasuries as likely to bé materially improved within the next year. All the works of internal improve- ment must be highly productive, on account of the large amount of produce pressing forward from the interior. They will be, without doubt, filled to their utmost capacity with breadstuffs coming to market, and we shall feel the want of facilities for getting produce to the seaboard be- fore another winter sets in. The financial condition of New York, Penn- ylvania, and Ohio depends very much upon the revenue from their public works; and as the canals of the last two have heretofore produced a very mited income, compared with the interest on eir debts, any increase in their productiveness a matter of much importance to the bond- ‘ers. Htis our impression that the revenue ese works this year, will exhibit an in- that of former years, greater than has heretofore been realized. Prices for all descriptions of breadstuffs are so much above remunerating points, that every surplus bushel of grain in the] interior will be urged forward, and the receipts at the seaboard markets this season will, without doubt, exceed any previous one. Various estimates have been fermed relative to the probable amount of the surplus which we can spare for exportation, most of which are very extravagant. We have ex- amined the subject very carefully, and from the best data in our possession, such as the official reports from the patent office and the best esti- mates of consumption, we should judge that there will be from last year’s crop a surplus of about twenty millions bushels of wheat and forty millions bushels of Indian corn for expor- tation. About one half of this has already been exported, and the probability is that full one half of the balance will be shipped between this and the first of September next. The ship- ments of other grains have been and will continue to be, very limited compared with those of wheat and Indian corn. The exportation of such a large amount of grain, and the high prices realized for a large per cent of the shipments, cannot but have avery favorable influence upon the prosperity of the country generally, upon the producing classes particularly, and through them upon the finan- cial condition of the Western States. The ab- sence of an extensive foreign demand for our agricultural products, has kept prices so much reduced, that the producers generally have had pretty hard times, and the improvement both in prices and demand has been a perfect god-send totheme"The'external demand is likely to con- tinue large for some time; and if prices keep up in the neighborhood of current rates, the agri- cultural el; will soon be relieved from the depression which has so long weighed heavily upon them. The season is rather backward, but the weather is favorable for our winter crops. Corn has not been put into the ground yet in thie part of the country, but there is plenty of time, and there is every probability of a very large breadth of land being appropriated to that crop, on account of the high prices compared with other grains. Stvectar Crevumstance.—A singular circum- stance occurred to the steamer Oregon,on her pas- sage from Stonington to New York, on the morn- ing of the 29th inst. When off Huntingdon one of her injection pipes suddenly became stopped, making the engine falter considerably. Mr. Lockwood, the assistant engineer, observed the circumstance immediately and opened the spare injection pipe, and directed the attention of the chief engineer, Mr. Vanderbilt, to the stopping of the other one. Mr. Vanderbilt supposed the stoppage was occasioned by the boat going over some seaweed, and would soon get clear again. Itnot doing so, however, he examined the cause of the stoppage when the boat arrived in New York. After taking off the injection valve and a portion of the pipe, he found in it, tight up against the guard of the valve, a large duck, weighing seven pounds, which had been drawn into it by the force of the vacuum created by the engine. Mr. Vanderbilt thinks that the duck must have dived when the boat ap- proached it, as when it was found its head was ‘ownwards, with its back towards the bow of the seel, The duck will be stuffed, and keptas a iriosity. = Forrien Nerws.—We are indebted to the a= s of Capt.

OF THE STEAM SHIP SARAH SANDS. TWO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. THE LATEST COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. | Affairs in Spain. dic. die. Se. The splendid steamer Sarah Sands, Captain ‘Thompson, arrived yesterday from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 6th inst. She has forty-five cabin, and one hundred and twenty-three second cabin passengers. She experienced continued heavy Westerly winds ; had been short of coal for the last seven days, and was therefore obliged to extin- guish half her furnaces, , The intelligence received by this steamer is not of much importance, but we deemed the desire of the merchants to obtain the latest intelligence, whether important or not, of sufficient induce- ment to issue the market news in an Extra Herald. This we did yesterday afternoon. The London Observer of Sunday, the 4th inst., states that the returns of the Quarter’s Revenue will show a considerable increase under the heads of Customs and Excise; an improvement under the head of Stamps; and an undiminished Revenue from the Property and Income Tax. :The profound disgust produced in the mind of the young Queen of Spain, by the vile intrigues of which she has been the victim, has caused her to dismiss the Soto- mayor Ministry, at the earliest moment possible, and to appoint a Liberal Ministry with M. Pache- coat its head. This is, for the present, the down- fall of the influence of Louis Philippe and Queen Christina in Spain, and the triumph of the national and native interest, the only interest which England has ever supported. It will pro- bably lead to an entire change in the system of government. Leman Rede, the author and comedian, is dead. MiGRation.—Upwards of 6,000 German emigrants have, within the last fortnight, passed through Cologne, ir way to Bremen, Havre and Antwerp, where they their departure for America, The greater part of them seemed to be rather well off. Thetown of Men- den was lately so full of emigrants that it resembled the camp of a wandering tribe; the streets were literally crammed with baggage and people waiting for the stea- mers. It is calculated that 120,000 Germans will emi- grate this year. The desire to emigrate has extended to districts in tobi hl where it was never before felt, and amongst others to the rich and fertile Saxon province of Prussia, The Nuremberg Correspondent states that the whole of the inhabitants (six hundred) of the village of Meimbrersen, in Electoral Hesse, are about to emigrate to America.

Five millions anda half may be amply sufficient to meet all demands upon the average calculation of ordinary times, and even four millions might, in such case, fairly represent the casual probable claims of about seventeen millions of deposits and bank bills, But these are not ordinary times, and the bank is, therefore, the more bound in the obligation not to be found at fault upon any extraordinary pressure upon its deposite ac- count or stock of metallic values. We have, however, no doubt that the directorsare fully aware of their posi- tion, and. that the returns of tho present and next week will place them as closely in harmony, with respect to reserves, deposits and other securities a8 they should ‘The recent movement for checking the operations of the discount houses,may be accepted as proof that a fore- casting line of policy had been entered upon, of which that step was the first overt indication since the last ele- vation of the minimum rate of discount, ‘The full com- plement of that policy has yet to be developed, but it does Rot require much sagacity to foresee that it is but the preliminary to the more gyeral restrictive measure of an advance inthe minimum rate of interest, the unit of which, tobemore effective, will probably not be fraction- ally split as before, Blame has boon imputed because the rate of interest was not raised at once, preferentially to the more graduated resolution of placing the dis- count houses under greater control; and it is asserted without sufficient reason or knowledge that less discom- posure would have been occasioned by the former than the latter procedure.

A fire, considerable in extent, occurred in the neigh- boring town of Ternigerode. The fire broke out in a baker's shop, where trial was being made of a new oven. ‘The progress of the flames, rendered fiercer by a strong west wind, was so great that in two hours upwards of 244 houses were burnt down. Notwithstanding every exertion, the fire was still poring up to the time this account was written, Owing to the speed with which the flames spread, it was with difficulty most of the in- habitants escaped; and it is feared several men, who are missing, seven children, and a servant girl have rished. ‘The number of Irish who came from Ireland into Li- verpool during the month of March is 50,100; above 3500 came over last Sunday.

Review of the British Corn Trade during the Past Week. The weather has throughout the week been very cold and ungenial,” and on several occasions sharp night: frosta have been experienced; vegetation has, conse- quently been kept beck, and from present appearances ere {s not much t of an early season. We do not, however, regard this asan evil, a premature luxuri- ance being generally attended with danger. It is, of course, at present impossible to ascertain whether the young wheat has been injurioualy affected by the low Tange of temperature ; but from the hardy character of the plant, we feel little apprehension on that hand, and the only circumstance that can be viewed as unfavor- able is the probability of the next harvest being late, which might, in the position of the country in regard to stocks, prove very inconvenient. The sowing of spring corn, hav! reesived but little interruption, noarly the whole of the month of March having been highly auspicious for field work, most of the barley and oats have been got in, and great progress has like- wise been made with bean and pea planting. These important labors having been nearly brought to a close, farmers have again directed thelr attention to thrash- ing; and it is probable that an increase will shortly ¢ place in the deliveries of grain from the growors The time has now arri of wheat in the hands of the produc: for there can be no question that if any great extent they will avail thei os of the very first opportunity of turning their wheat into cash.— The inducements to realfze are the still high value of the article and tho state of uncertainty felt as to the future; if, therefore, the markets in the agricultural districts be not Plentifully supplied during the month, we shall no longer entertain adoubt on the question of stocks, but look upon it as the strongest possible e dence ‘that tho quantity remaining in the country ix actually as small as represented. ‘I'he regular course of the trade has beon more or Jos interrupted this week ini consequence of several of the markets having been held off the accustomed day (owing to Good Friday), and the amount of business done has not been important. The value of wheat has, as might have been expected, felt the effect of the recent fall at Mark Lane, and prices have tended downwards in all parts of the kingdom. At Liv- erpool further arrivals of flour and Indian corn have come to hand from America, but the receipts of foreign wheat have not been large.either there or elsewhere ; whilst the demand for export, though on a somewhat decreased scale, has nevertheless continued, ‘The advices from the port just named are not quite Fo dull as last week, the important reduction which has lately occurred there. having attracted buyers from the interior. In wheat a fair amount of business appears to have been done on Tuosday. at rates 3d. to 6d. per 701bs. below those current on that day se’nnight ; and subse- quently a portion of that abatement was recovered, seve- fal sales, baving been ‘tmade on ‘Thursday on terms not obtainable earlier in the week. United States flour, which was, it will be recollected, at ono period of last week sold at Liverpool at 36s., has since been in request at 37s. per bbl., and many holders have even refused to accept the latter pri indian corn seems to have met with attention at improving rates, 60s. to 42s. per 480 Ibs. having been paid for fine, and 48s, to 60s. for mixed American. At the leading towns in Yorkshire stocks of wheat unusually small; and the supplies having barely kept pace with the demand (tardy as has been tho fatter) sellers have declined submitting to a greater reduction than Isto 2s per quarter. The business done at Hull and Leedson Tuesday was, however, very circumseri- bed. At Wakefield, on Thursday, tho operations were also on a restricted scale, and the few sales of wheat ef- fected wore at prices 1s to 2s per qr below those current the preceding week. The accounts from Bristol, Birmingham, Gloucester, and other towns in the vicinity of these places, are of a similar character to the reports above referred to; but whilst there has been no speculation, and the buyers for consumption have confined their purchases to as nar- row limits as has been permitted by their pressing wants, there has, on the other hand, in most cascs been a de- gree of firmness on the part of holders, which has pre- vented prices giving way more than a couple of shillings per quarter. In the north the weather has been even moro severe than with us, and the letters from Scotland speak of ra- ther sharp frosts; this, however, had produced no in- fluence on the corn markets, and quotations of wheat, a8 well as prices of spring corn, were lower at Edinburgh and Glasgow on Wednesday than on that day week. From Ireland we learn that Indian corn, which has become the staple article Md gong er with the poorer classes of that country, ad been freely offered at about 60s per qr. at several of the principal ports, and that a corresponding abatement had occurred in the interior. This ‘fall has tended to alleviate tho distress; as f supplies of this useful article of food are likely to be sent from Liverpool and other English ports to the sister isle, besides what mer still be on passage from America, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean, prices of Indian corn will probably remain at about their pre- sent level. Tho arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have been moderate; and the show of samples at Mark Lane on Wednesday, by land carringe from Essex, Kent, and re Suffolk, was small, The greater portion of the wheat oxhibited consisted of white, and as the French buyers have all along directed their attention more to red, there was not much done for export; the town millers were, however, pretty free purchasers nt Monday's de- cline, anda fair clearance was made, Good qualities of foreign red wheat wore inquired for on Frenth account, but the high pretensions of holders prevented extensive transactions. We stated last Monday that sellers of fo- reign had refused on that occasion to submit to reduc tion corresponding to the decline on English, and on Wednesday they stowed leas inclination toconcede than previously, or bargains to some extent might have been conel ‘The arrivals from abroad have, during the week ending this (Saturday) evening, consisted of 10,719 qrs., whilst the exports pave according to the bills of entry, amounted to 6,111 qrs. Eogilah flour was on Wednesday to the full as dificult of disposal as earlier in the week; and, in the absence Barley, malt, beans, and peas dull and in lmited re- quest, althouga offered ata reduction of 18. to 28, per qr. We are again liberally supplied with foreign oats, and, being more than the present demand, we must note a further declino of 18, to 18, 6d, since Monday last. Livenroot Cony Manxet—Monday, April 5.—The reported arrivals of Grain and Flour since Tuesday last, are very moderate, but the wind now being favorable, we may expect most vessels in that are cloee at hand. ‘The late reduction in our prices has attracted buyers from various quarters, and rather an extensive business has been done in Wheat and Flour, Besides a good de- mand for shipment coastwise, the interior millers have taken largely. of barrelled Flour’ at 378. 6d. to 388. per 196 lbs, for Western Canal, which is an improvement of Is per barrel within the week.— Wheat has also moved more freely, but without amend- ment in price; indeed, for both wheat and flour holders have liberally met the demand, Several Irish orders and buyers of Indian corn having appeared, there has been jon on ‘Tuesday's quotation of 88 to 6s per quar- 5 good American corn is now firmly held at $28 per 480 Ibs, In the other articles of the trade very little has been transacted, and oats, barley, beans, and peas re- main without alteration in value, [From the Liverpool ‘Times, April 6.) ‘The condition of the trade and’ commerce of the country during the first quarter of the present year, has been far from favorable; and though the last arri- vals bring the gratifying news of a very decided im- provement in tho Ainerican and Eastern markets, yet we fear that the progress of amclioration will bo slow, until the result of the next harvest is ascertained.— Should {t realise the hopes that we are justified in founding on the great increase in the quantity of wheat and spring corn sown in this country; on the fineness of the seed time, both in the Autumn Of last year and the Spring of the present; and on the present appearance of the young wheat in many districts, we shall then obtain effectual relief. We are not, indeed. inthe number of those who believe that one good harvest will give us low prices, and still less of those who belleve that we shall see low prices previous to that harvest; but still we are convinced that the high prices which our farmers have obtained for their last year’s grain, joined to that thorough frightening whieh'they got during the great corn-law battle, have roused thei to exertions such ns they never made before, and that they have already produced a great improvement in English agriculture, the effects of which will be felt in the next harvest. If we may judge from what we have ourselves seen, during a late tour through Lancashire, Cheshire, the West W. Cumberland, Riding of Yorkshire wo should say there is this year ag extent of tillage and draining, and great i or in the mode of laying out fields, and of performin manner of farming operations. ‘fhe quantity of land sown with wheat gars eater than we ever knew it to be befor: the ground; and it presents every appearance of health. Should this promise of increase in the home supply be realised, a good harvest would give us a return of mode- hough not of low prices. 1 we cither obtain a great increase of home-grown grain, or an entirechange in the monetary system, the ressure on the country is likely to be very sevage. ‘The jank Directors have not, it is tru n raised the rate of interest on discounts, as it was feared that they would do, but they have so restricted their assistance to bill brokers and the public as to produce precisely the same effect as if they had. Nor is it easy to see when or where this is to end. Further supplies of foreign grain are ab- solutely necessary for the sustenance of the people, and as they can only be obtained by farther exportations of specie, itis clear that the presstire must continue, What- ever may be the merits of the present monetary system in other respects and at otber times, it is clear that just now it is adding commercial ruin to want of food. Ifit was not for the severity with which the bank is working the screw, there is every rengon to believe that trade would at present be in a satisfactory state. ‘There is a decided inprovement in business, both in the cotton and woollen districts, arlsing from an improved demand both furelgn aud domestic, “During the last week the corn trade has passed Lye asovere ordeal, Early inthe week a panic prevailed in the London market, which extended to most of the country markets; but on Thursday and Saturday a re- action took place in public opinion. India corn has risen again to about 62s, having been down to 48s. We un- derstand that this excellent description of food is begin- ed extensively in the North of England, ni After several months of cessation, buyers of wheat and flour from the interior have aguin ‘begun to show them- selves in the Liverpool markets, and to purchase Ameri- can flour freely. We see from the lust circular of Messrs, Sturge, of Birmingham, that the supply of foreign wh at Gloucester, at the against 70,000 quarters at this time last year. ‘The sup- plies of wheat and four in Liverpool, on the 31st Marc! 1846, were, in bond, 218,113 quarters of wheat, aud 438,627 barrels of flour; free, (about) 100,000 quarters of wheat, and 200,000 barrels of flour. ‘The stock of wheat at pre- sont is supposed to be from 60 to 70,000 quarters, and that of flour about £00,000 barrels. ‘Tho Turkish goveruwent bas prohibited the exporta- tion of grain from several of the principal ports of the Turkish empire. ‘Che snost, important of thse sxe Smyrna, Silistria, and Salonica. ‘Lhe tirst of these ports has generally shipped a considerable quantity of grain, the produce of Anatolla; the second is a depot for the Balgarian grain, which is kent down the Danube to Ga- lat nd the third is the port for the shipment of the rain of Roms It appears thal the Greek Chamberaare also discussing the ion of prohibiting the exportation of grain from that country. The Journal des Debats contains what some of our contemporaries call an alarmist article on the present state and the future prospect of the supply of food in France, The principal o' tof it is to show that this year’s potato crop is likely to be very detletent, owing to the scarcity and the dearness of the seed, and the un willingness of he farmers to another crop, after two years of he Debats contends that the certainty ofa deficiency of the supply of potatoes, and the entire uncertainty as to the productiveness of the grain crops, rende sary to suspend the duties on the admission of foreign grain’ for another year—that is to say, uatil September, 1948. In support of this argu- ment, the Debats states that the potato crop is of the utmost importance, and that if it is lost a substitute must be found in foreign grain. Its produce is estima. ted at from a hundred to a hyndred and tweuty millions} of hectolitres, equal to three hundred millions of bush- els.

During the past month we bad weighty and numerous arrivals of breadstuils, chiefly from America and the Mediterranean, much of which has come into the hands of parties not previously inthe trade, who, finding that their expectations of profit are not very likely to be re- alized, have, in many cases, submitted to tako such prices ‘as could be procured, and in indian corn particularly prices have undergoue a change equal to about £5 to £6 per ton from the highest point, maiing ours, at the resent moment, perhaps, the cheapest market for corn n ireland. The decline in wheat during the month has been about £1, in barley £2, in oats £1 to £2, and in oatmeal £2 per ton. ‘ihe lowering of the price of bread- stuffs seems to have turned the atiention of dealers and farmers to the propriety of sowing (tax seed; and the in- quiries and transactions of this week lead to the hope that this iraportant crop is likely to meet yet with the ttention it merits. [From the Paris Galignani, April 3.) Intelligence has been received from Odessa to March 16, whieh states that wheat was stationary at 18f 88¢ the hecto.

Leeps, April 3.—There has been more business done since this week at the Cloth Halls in low priced goods, calculated for the United States market, but in other sorts there has not been any improvement. Prices con- tinue firm, and the stocks on hand below an average. Business has been a little better in the warehouses; the business doing is with the country . ‘There is also a much better prospect, in the opinion of the trade, that the shipping business will be good for the fal trade. Foreton Woot Taape, Leevs, April 1.—There has been a little more animation in the trade during the past eck. Prices remain frm, and the prevailing opinion i, that an advance upon last year’s rates will be generally obtained at the next fairs. Stocks are st pre- sent very low, both here and in Germany. Bnaproan, Thursday, April 1—Wool—The demand during the week past has been very similar to several proceding; the inquiries belng chiefly for full-bred wools for which late rates are y maintained.

The wool market was dull, and not much business done. Prices generally were the same as last week, } Maxcuesten, Monday, April 6.—This being Easter Monday, there was little or nobusiness transacted. The recent advance in the price of cotton has tended materi- ally to limit operations, as it has compelled producers to demand higher rates, which in: but very few cases have been obtained. It is much to be ited that any ad- vance in the price of the raw material should havo taken place, at a time when it. was found extremely difficult to effect sales even at the ruinously low prices which have been current for many weeks past, This being a holiday week, it is not expected that much business will be done, Tur Inox Tnape.—Biamrnona, Saturday, April 3.— During the present weok, the usual preliminary meeting of the ironmuasters of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and East Worcestershire, has been held at Dudley, at which it was resolved, notwithstanding some induce- ments to an advanee, that no alteration of price should take place at the ensuing quarter day.
