Tbat the quantity of wheat of last year’s re- maiving in the hands of the producers is fally as great as is usually the cuse at the corresponding period of the year, we bave very little doubt; and if the next harvest should prove an early one, we should probably require very littie assistance from abroad Still the state of our stocks is not such as to render us independent of foreign supplies, wnd it msy, therefore, be regarded as @ some- what elgular circumstance, and one strongly indicative of the depressed state of mercantile enterprise, that the rocant occurrences on the continent. and the present un- seitled state cf politics, should have exercised no influ- ence ou thecorn trade.

Letters from Dausig, of the 25th March, state that a deal of anxiety was felt there as to the future movements of Russia, and as it was deemed nearly oer- tain that the transmiesion of a police from Poland would be interfered with, holders of wheat on the spot had in- sisted on former prices, notwilhstanding an abse! oF *xport demand. For a parcel of about 60 lasts of fine oid wheat in granary, weighing 60 to 6llbs per bush, ¢qual to 43s per qr has been paid.

The only charter closed had been that of a small vessel tor Newcastle at 83 4d per gr for wheat. We have letters from Kouigsberg ot the 25th of March, but they are taken up with speculations as to the proba- ble termination of the existing state of political affairs, and say but little as to business. The arrivals had been quite trifling, and as the water in the Memel stream was low, the loaded barges had not been able to come down: mixed wheat was then generally held a: 40s, and red at id per qr free on i From we have advices reaching to the 27th ultimo; rather imoreased supplies bad been brought torward, but farmers were then beginning to occupy themeelves with spring sowing, and an almost imme- diate falling off in the deliveries was consequently calculeted on.

The accounts from Hamburg, of Tuesday, describe business as at a stand, in consequence of the probability of hostilities between Denmark end Holstein There were sellers of fine wheat, weighing 62 to 63lbe per bushel, at 42s to 43s per qr, but no takers From the southern and eastern countries of Europe the accounts are altogether without interest, in a com- mercial point of view. and it may be regarded as certain that no business will jor some time to come be done in grain with any of the Mediterranean ports, prices being relatively much lower in the British markets than at any of tho places lying east of Gibralter ‘At Marseilles equal to 443 per qr had been paid for ‘Polish Odersa, weighing 62lbs per bushel, for transit into the interior. Cotten Circulars, Livenroot, Friday Evening, 7th April, 1948.—The impossibility of forming any correct opinion as to the fature course of events in Europe, in the diff-rent coun- tries of which, social or political disorgenization has made, in so short # period, such rapid strides, necesra- rily produces an unfavorable influence upon commerce ; avd though, happily, Great Britain seems likely to keep free from any ioregn embroilment, yet the agitated state of Ireland, and the want of employment in the manufacturing ‘and commercial districts of England, lead to such fears of possible disturbance as, though not yet very serious, are sufficiently threatening to keep public opinion in that unsettled state so detri- men alto the regular operations of trade Added to general uneasy feeling, the arrivals this week of cotton have been comsiderable, and the belief that after the receipt of the advices of the French re- volution sll export from toe States wll be clisfy directed to this country, induces holders to make sales; and as the buying hss long ceased to be speculative, snd is only limited to the deily wants ofthe trade it ismatural that prices should give way. ‘The reduction this week is again fully 4d perlb.

Sa Important Movements at Washington—Pro- babie Re-Nomination and Re-Election of Mr. Polk to the Presidency. We have informatien from Washington of such a reliable character as leads us to a strong belief that Mr. Polk, the President, will be re-nominated by the Baltimore convention, and that it is very likely, judging from the present condition of the country, he will be re-elected in November, at the general election, for a second term, to the Presidency of the United States. The probabi- lity of this event has been of late often alluded to in the newspapers ; but the movements at Wash- ington, particularly since the remarkable circu- lar of Mr. Clay, have assumed such a shape and hue as to give strength to the re-nomination and re-election of Mr. Polk, more than on any for- mer occasion. Mr. Polk isa remarkable man. Quiet, cool, uapretending; modest, retiring, sanctified, reli- gious, and puritanical, he possesses all the ele- ments of ambition, guided by indefatigable ef- forts, and a skill which renders him a complete master of his cabinet and party, and makes all the other aspirants to the Presidency mere leather and prunella in his hands. We might enter into an interesting and singular history of Mr. Polk’s administration, which would de- velope the strong points of his character, and would convince every unprejudiced mind of his remarkable tact in managing the democracy and all its various factions; but we have not time on the present occasion. The policy and steps by which Mr. Polk is to be brought forward asa candidate, and by which it is probable he will be re-elected, are curious and interesting. While the various candidates, including Gen- Cass, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Wood- bury, Gen. Houston, and others, have been operating upon the different State conventions, Mr. Polk, with his 90,000 office holders, and his $50,000,000 annual expenditures, throughout the country, has beem very quietly returning a Balti- more convention completely in his interest, and which he holds in the hollow of his hand, todo his pious bidding. He has been successful in giving his own complexion to the Baltimore con- vention, as much as Louis Philippe and M. Guizot used to do their Chamber of Deputies; andalso by the same influences and means, for the politi- cal system is identical in both countries. Ninety thousand office holders, and an expenditure of fifty millions in a year, are quite enough to give Mr. Polk a perfect contrel over the democracy, which, like all parties, always leans to that particular chief from whom thé spoils are divided ouf to them. If, however, Mr. Polk, by some unfore- seen accident, should not be nominated for the approaching election, at least he will control the nomination; and his favorite for the succession is Mr. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury, whose magnanimity of mind and power ot financial genius never make any blunder beyond five or six millions, in his calculations, at a stroke. But should Mr. Polk be re-nominated, the pro- oability 18, he will be re-elected. Then Mr. Walker willbe transferred to the bureau of the Secretary of State; Mr. Buchanan will be sent adrift, Mr. Marcy, ditto, and Cave Johnson wil! be transferred to the Treasury Department, with John Van Buren, probably, Attorney General, or Minister tb England. Another great point in these arrangements is the issue upon which Mr. Polk will go before the people in oppositionto Mr. Clay. The treaty has been sent on to Mexico; but still the hope at the White House is, that it will be rejected at Queretaro, and thus will still leave open the great question of the annexation of all Mexico and the continuance of the war—an issue which will be of infinite benefit toMr. Polk in the approaching contest. The recent paltry investigation in the Senate, the incarceration of a newspaper corres- pondent, connected with the secret and jesuiti- cal efforts of the admimistration to defeat the ve- ry treaty it professes to be in favor of—these mys- teries, we shall develope at our leisure. Another point in these arrangements is the settlement of the difficulty between the two de- mocratic factions in New York—the hunkers and the barnburners. Assoon as Mr. Clay sent forth his circular, negotiations commenced at Wash- ington on this subject, and they have resulted in the probable settlement of the whole difference— the union of the two sections—the admission of John Van Buren and his party, to the exclusion of the others, in the Baltimore convention, and a promise of an adequate share of spoils to stay all discontents. The probable results of these negotiations have already developed themselves 1m another great and tremendous speech of John Van Buren himself, in Columbia county, in which he almost gives up his opposition, and abandons his previous corner stone. They are also developed to some extent in the discontents of the Albany Argus, which now sees, with evi- dent chagrin, the probability of the rej-ction of its delegates at Baltimore; and beholds with grief, the patronage of the Navy Department be- stowed upon one of the proviso organs in this city. The reconciliation of the Van Buren party of the State of New York with the friends of Mr. Polk, and its consent to his nomination, will completely shut the door to all the prospects of Mr. Clay, and to every chance which he might ever have had of getting the votes of New York But, again, in addition to all these recent arrangements and manegement—the singular events which have occurred at Washington in relation*to abolition—the debates and exeite- ment in both houses of Congress on this sub- ject—the position assumed by Mr. Hale and other northern members of his pirty—will all tend greatly to increase the abolition vote at the coming election ; thus abstracting from the whig votes more than at the former election, and in this manner securing many of the free Statesto Mr. Polk. The abolition vote was 60,000 at the last Presidential election, and it is probable it willbe more than a hundred thousand in No- vember next. We have the best reasons for be- lieving thst Mr. Hale and the abolitionists in Congress, under acertain understanding with @ portion of the democracy there, have been ma- naged at Washington to some purpose, and with some hope of ultimate success. Thug, it will be seen, by the position and pro- gramme of Mr. Polk, thathe much greater politician than he has received credit for being. It is now very likely~we may say almost certain —that he will both be nominated by the Baltimore convention, and be re-elected for a second term; and this, asa result of the various movements now go:ngon and set on foot, by his influence, both in the democratic party and in the whig ranks. Not only all the democratic candidates who have been spoken of have been outwitted and duped by Mr. Polk, but even Mr. Clay and the whigs have been ineiuded in the same system of suc- cesstul management and humbugging. At this same moment the whigs are torn in pieces by their diesensions relative to Mr. Clay and Gen. Taylor, without any prospect of reconciliation orunion. About a year ago; the whigs, with Gen. Taylor for their candidate, could have car- ried overwhelmingly two-thirds of the Union. Butnow, trom their follies, and indiscretions, and circulars, together with the shrewd policy and skilful management of Mr. Polk, there is every probability that we shall have the continuation of the Polk dynasty for another Presidential term. We have much to say on these points before we have done with the subject. Enough forto-day. Mr. Polk reads the Bible regularly, and says his prayers every morning and even- ing; while, in the intervals of his devotions, ho cheats the office seekers, and humbugs the poli- ticians w'tn ite ekill of a Metternich, the cool- ness of a Machiavelli, and the courtesy and cau- tion of a Judas Iscariot. The Foreign News—Dangerous State of Hng- Jand and Ireland—France and the Conti- nent, Our readers will find in to-day’s Herald, copi- ous extracts from English and Continental news- papers, on the revolutionary movements now going on with such vigor in Europe, received by the steamship Acadia, at Boston. The principles of democracy, it will be seen, are in {ull career, and will, in all probability, sweep over the whole face of that part of the world, The intelligence from England and [reland is extremely interesting. The chartists are more violent than ever, and announce their determi- nation to present their petition, and make their demonstration, in spite of the government procla- mation forbidding them; and the leaders of the Trish never were so violent. Both the charti and the repealers openly defy the authorities, and a momentous cri: 8 at hand, one which, to our mind, was inevitable at some time, but which has been hastened by the course of events on the Continent. The chartiets, by themselves, are incapable of effecting a revolution simuar to that which has taken place in France; neither are the Irish capable of engaging in any revolu- tionary movement that might endanger the in- tegrity of the empire; but by an understanding and unity between them, or a concurrence of circumstances which we shall refer to in this article, by which they could obtain the help of the French republic, they could accomplish all they wish. The position of matters in England is extremely alarming, and concerns deeply the mercantile world. The English press continues to abuse and vili- fy the members of the French provisional go- vernment, and predicts a consolidated despotism of the poor over the rich, as the result of the revolution which drove Louis Philippe from the throne of that country. This is only what might be expected, undet the circumstances, and is in consonance with their first and earliest epecula- tions on the same event, and will, we have no doubt, be re-echoed by the presses on this side of the Atlantic which have followed in their wake, and predicted similar, if not worse, con- sequences, from the upheaving of the masses in that country. As we have before stated, the English news- paper writers are not capable of forming an un- prejudiced opinion on these events. The recent revolution in Paris was a revolution of the blouses, not only over Louis Philippe, their mo- narch, but over the bourgeoisie, as much a® the first revolution was a victory of the bourgeoisie over the nobility. As the consequence of the de- claration of the republic, soci itself into two classee—the w: constitute the majority, as they tries; and the rich, who are the minori the fear of a similar revolution, with simil consequences, in England, whichwactuates English press in forming and jing thei opinions and predictions. Hence their hos- tility to the course of the provisioi vernment, and their predictions chy and despotism, worse than wh: perienced under the monarchy which has been repudiated recently. These divisions ef society which exist at present in France, are identically the same as those which exist in this republic. We see the democracy, or the blouses, arrayed against the whigs, or the bourgeoisie, in the United States. Inthis city, in this State, throughout the whole country, the rich portion of our citi- zens have identified themselves with the whig party, and compose it; while on the other hand, the working people, the poor, constitute the de- mocratic or locofoco party. Society was divi- ded in this way from the beginning of our go- vernment, and has continued to this da: id will continue so divided; for with the abo- lition of all nobility and titles, and the estab- lishment of a republic, there can, in the nature of things, be no other mode in which society can be divided. But to argue from this, that our republic will degenerate into a despotism of the poor over the rich, would, be the height of abeurdity ; and if a conclusion of that kind cannot be correctly drawn in the United States, neither oan it be drawn in France. The contests between the two parties—the rich and the poor—which commenced in this coua- try, and have been continued to this day, have just now begun in France. With the liberty of the press, in the widest form, as we have it here, both parties have the right of unlimited discu: sion, and already the war of words has com- menced; but there is no probability that it will result in such lamentable consequences as the sticklers for monarchy in England would fain be- lieve. It must be borne in mind that the revo- lution was the work of the Gone people of Paris, and it is only natural that they should seek to enjoy @ portion of its benefits. Let a similar revolution take place in England, and the whole fabric of government, as it now exists there, would be swept away, and society reg d and ided, in precisely the seme in France and in the United States. This is what the rich, the bourgeoisie of England, dread; and hence their predictions of disuster, anarchy and despotism. Thus‘far, there is no- thing on whicn such consequences as are pre- dicted by the English press, and ite shadows in the United States, can be based. On the con- trary, when the circumstances attending the volution, and subsequent events, up to the latest dates received from there, aré taken into con- sideration, theresis every reason to hope for the best, and nothing to mortify the friends and ad- , qooe of human liberty in any part of the wo . Such an occurrence, however, as the divisie+ of society in England, in the same way as it is now divided in France and in this country, may take place there before the writers of those opin- Lone, pel have any idea. Matters are rapid- ly reaching a crisis there between the charuists on one hand, the Irishjon the other. They will be precipitated in case the E nglish govern ment takes any action, or makes any movement in concert with the Emperor of Russia, to stay the progress of republicanism, or interfere with the people of France 1 the formation of their new government, or even A mere rumor to that effect. It wasas much as Louis Philippe could do to restrain the young and fresh spirit of France from rushing into hostilities with that country; and now that a repubiic is established, alight cause would be considered sufficient to create af opportunity which has so lon been hoped for, to wipe out the n whic the natioval honor and courage sustained on the field of Waterloo. With the steam-navy which France now possesses, being safe trom continen- tal conflicts, and with the difficulty which the English government would experience in man- ning 4n ermoment in time to resist its progress, as developed by their own wri invading army of fifty thousend French soldiers gould be
