' r commenity pci rk cireometances of its formation, altogether Without « parile!, a. ee Corn Trade of Engtand. the London Mercantile Gaxelte, Mareh 22.) rough money is plentiful, and the rate of in- sereet continues unusnully low, all branches of com- merce zemain in a state of great depression. The sanguine hopes in which many indulged at the ping of the present year, have been Sompletely Seepycinted, 4 nd we hear complaints from arters of the want of confidence and activity in winess. ‘The admirers of free trade have been thong predicting prosperity; hitherto, however, their policy has given very little satisfaction to any ease, and some who were once stau supporters of the new system, begin to be dissatisfied with the practical working of the scheme. Meanwhile, the gevernment, the Peelites, and Cobdenites, are using their utmost endeavors to prove that the pre- vailing stagnation is not caused by free trade; and « bold assertions, plausible theories, and unfair statisties could be made more potent than incon- wovertible facts, they might sueceed in im- perting a temporary appearance of prosperity. ‘As to uny real or substantial improvement in afiairs, we fear that this is not attainable so long as oor present commercial legislation is persisted in. Though the value of most kinds of grain is, and has for some time been, below the cost of produc- tion in this country, the fear of large imports of foreign corn during the summer prevents merchants inverting in the article ; and whenever the supply exceeds (in however small a measure) the guantity required for immediate use, prices recede, Latterly the arrivals of foreign have not been very large, and the farmers having been closely occupied with sowing, &c., have not brought much forward for wale; We are now, however, approaching a period of the year when the deliveries from the growers are urually incrensed, and, unwilling as they may be to sell at the present unremunerative rates, there js too much F om to conclude that the pee ry position of 1 will leave them no alternative but to realize. 1 abroad we do not expect any quantity in the first instance; the » having been enriched by British overwhelming foreign farmers, gold, and become accustomed to high prices, may, und very likely wil, hold back for a time, watch the progress of the crops as the spring advances, and act uccordingly. If nothing should occur to threaten injury to the corn on the ground, we shall not want supplies, even if prices remain at their resent level; but should the weather at any time ecome unprepitios, we should probably receive ealy small consignments until prices had been ren up considerably. Such being the position of the trade, even more will depend upon the charac- ter of the seeeon than is usually the case, and it would, therefore, be vain to pretend to foresee the | future course of prices. The late frosts have check- ed vegetation, and kept back the at plant, but ether wire they have done no injury. The sowing of spring corn thus far has progressed very favorably, which is an important step gained towards a future abundance of home-grown food. Very little varia- ! fion has occurred in prices during thy rrent Week, hoiders of wheat having shown rather less an y Ww press sales; but we are unable to report any im- in the demand, and the general charac- ster of the trade at all the leading consuming mar- ‘kets has been dedly dull. The errivals of the article coastwise into the port of London have been very small, and the quantity brought forward at Marklane by land carriage simples, from the home has also been unimportant. On Monday ‘there was rather more disposition to purchase fine qualities of white wheat, and most of that exhibit- on the Essex stands Was placed early at prices 1 to those current on that day se’nnight. from Kent (which was composed prin- ed) was cleared off with some difficulty at previous rates, and the few parcels offered, free on board, at ports on the east coast, did not meet with much attention. Since then the transactions ' ngtish wheat have been on the most retail On Wednesday scarcely a bargain was closed, and there was so little oflering this morning, and so little inclination on the part of the millers to buy, that quotations must be regarded as nominally the same as in the beginning of the week. The arrivals from abroad have been moderate, and im- rters have consequentiy displayed considerable irmness, but having had very little country demand, and local purchasers having shown no sins of be- ing in-want, the operations have not been by any means extensive. Fine old wheat has been taken in retail at full former terms; but to have succeeded in selling the fresh arrivals of new on board ship, rather fess money must have been accepted. For flour we have had a steady consumptive demand, and its value has undergone no further change.— Though the supplies of barley have not been. par- ticularly large, this grain has been placed with ex- treme difficulty. None but the best malting sam- ples were saleable on Monday, at previous rates, | and the demand for secondary sorts, whether of home or foreign growth, has certainly not improved since then. Prices of malt have rather tended downwards. The receipts of oats from abroad have fallen short of expectation, but a good many cargoes are known to be close at hand. The sup- coastwise have been moderate, notwithstand- which the trade has remained in a lang state, and the turn has been in favor of the buy: Beans of oY kinds were quoted Is. per quarter lew- eron Monday, and were easily obtainable at the decline this morning. TF derate degree of attention this week, being wanted for a government contract, but this has not en- hanced their value. Messrs. Baring’s Circular. Loxpox, March 22, 1860-5 P. M The dulness of the produce markets which prevailed at the date of our inst advices, has since continued, and prices of most articles have still a downward tendency. Coffee has declined materially, Cotton has also ruled heavily; and breadstuis show no rign: ofimprovement. In the meantime, money remains ex- tremely abundant, and the stock of bullion eccumu- lates.

In blacks the business done has been trifling. and there is every probability of the export of Congou to England falling considerably short of the year’s consumption. Liverpool and Manchester Circular. Liverroot, March 23, 1850. Since our last report of this cotton market, dated Sth inst., the same dull and inactive fecling then noticed has prevailed; occasionally there has been a more general inquiry, but the trade have evinced no dixporition to <olend ibe operations beyond the bare supplying of pressing and immediate wants. whilst many holders have freely offered their stocks. and rome large parcels of Upland cotton have been forced on the market. There has been a fair demand for export. but’ speculators have been deterred from expensive purchases by the dull state of general trade. The steady falling off in the — at the shippin, ports. as ebown by the last arrival from the Unite States. on the 19th inst., although fully confirmator: of the short crop estimates. appears to be unheeded, and confidence for the moment seems to be shaken. In the past fortnight. prices have declined ‘4d. to ‘gd. per Ib. in the middling and lower descriptions of Ame- tiean. Fair Orleans. however. which are comparatively fearce, are unchanged in valae. There is diffleulty in ascertaining the exact position of trade in Manchester; any slight concession in prices of either goods or yarn, immediately brings out orders for execution; many large manufacturers are still fully occupied working to order, Stocks of all kinds are light, both bere aud in many of the European markets, Advices, just wt hand from Calcutta and China, show an im- proving demand for British eotton fubrica, with very moderate stocks at both places, so that it is only reasonable to anticipate, ere long, a better state of business; this would at once take place were spinners and manufacturers to manifest re- Hance upon the estimates of the crop, and cease to hold out t rospect of a fall in the es of the ol! of the eotton market, eausi y buy hardware. 208; carthenware, 30s. ee.reete Siete ondere for the present, sad, weteh Abe dead weight. 16s. to 200; fine goods, 26s. market, Printing Cloth—~In light 26-inch eloth rather %e.; earthenware, 100, por in... more nese bas been transacted, at prices more fa ‘Trave Rerontr—Priday, vorable to the purchaser; 27- ‘and are to mote in tile hot somuch sought after. sand Jaconets "Tooeda; tendency still Although the tara of she tmmrket is favorable for cae, Uiinstasme le tonaval making purchases upon and casier, es 23S to meet the views of buyers, and i some do- these pecds have bese Suen mégrectad; 05 Si-nc partments of the market th re haa been & good deal of tnd 66 reeds in 25, 875, and 60 yards, have been better | Prauiry’ although mot resulting im aay large aumeant of to Kell. at steadier prices.

The European News—Result of the Elec- tions in France. ‘The steamship Europa arrived at this port yester- day, and in our columns to-day will be found the details of the news, which will be found very inte- resting, if not important, as far at least as France is concerned. France is evidently in a state of transition; and were it not that universal suffrage prevails there, there is not the slightest doubt but that a revolution against the government of Louis Napoleon would have taken place before this. The ultra republi- cans are determined upon adopting the ballot as a means of reaching power, and of upsetting the ex- isting order of things, rather than appeal, as they did in the insurrection of June, to the musket, to secure their objects. This is apparent in the result of the recent elections, as well as in the manner in which they were conducted. There appears to have been no public demonstra- Trovetes Aono Te Tammany Hatt De mocnacy.—Every now and thea there is a kiek wialiba d ‘Tamminy Hal Nae mocracy, and and with both fagtions msh 0 the newspapers to make known pe agree im the same manner as the quack advertise medicines. There are two committees in that building, each tobe the only true and real one, and the contro- versy between them is very amusing and interest- ing to the public at large. The difficulty between them, as far ae we understan¢ it, is a determina. tion on the part of the old hunkers not to allow the barnburners to come into the party. Now, this we look upon as very unkind and very uncharitable, on the part of the old hunkers. John Van Buren and the bambumers have sown their political wild oats, and want to get back again, so that bye union of the two forces they will be to carryevery thing before them at the next. and eat up the whigs, body, bones, tail and all, without salt and without compunction. We think. we know something about the pathology of the case, and of the history of the democracy, and our opinion, as a medical man, is decidedly in favor of admitting John Van Buren and the . back to Tammany Hall, and to the councils of the wigwam. If they come and confess their sins ina. Proper way, acknowledge their transgressions, and ask forgivenees, why should they not have absolu- tion pronounced over them? Every politician must sow his wild oats, sooner or later, and certainly no- one had a fresher, or a better, or a more lively crop than John Van Buren, within the last half cen- tury, in the State of New York. If the two com- mittees do not come to some understanding, they must submit their difficulties to the State conven- tion, in Syracuse, when that body meets. Passrorts on THe Istumus or Panama.—We perceive that Mr. Dominiguez, the New Granadian Consul in New York, has given notice that hereaf- ter no persons will be allowed to land at Chagres, or travel across the Isthmus of Panama, unless they are provided with passports. This is not only contrary to'the spirit of the treaty existing between. the two countries, but looks very much like an at- tempt to levy black mail on the California emi- grants. The excuse for issuing this order is the recent unfortunate outbreak in Panama. We do not see, however, that providing a blackguard with a passport will make hima gentleman, or thot it has the talismanic influence of converting a tion of any description in advance—no imposing | bully into a peaceable man. We advise our citi- celebrations or processions calculated to win the votes of the masses; but there has been an organ- ized training of their forces, within the law, to ac- complish their ends at the ballot-box. The result shows that their tactics have succeeded. They have elected thirteen out of twenty-five candidates, in Paris and in the departments, and swept the field in the metropolis. Such a termination of the election was not anticipated by the government, and the consequence is, that Louis Napoleon and his organs are alarmed at the result. And well they may be. The policy of Louis Napoleon and his administration—the manner in which the govern- ment has been administered since his election to the Presidency, in contradistinction to ultra- republicanism, were submitted to the people, and they have decided upon ultra-repub- licanism. Louis Napoleon and his policy are therefore virtually repudiated. The red re- publicans are increasing in strength and power, and we would not be at all surprised to see, at the next general election, a complete and perfect triumph of the ultra-republicans, and a repudiation, therough and complete, of Louis Napoleon and the reactionists in general. Such being the result of the elections, and such being the future prospects of France, that country, for some time to come, will present an exceeding- ly interesting spectacle. From what has already taken place, there is every reason to suppose that the ultra-republicans are gaining ground very rapidly, and that the policy of Louis Napo- leon and the reactionists is getting into disfavor. When the general election comes round, it is not unreasonable to expect a similar result to that | which followed the election which has just taken | place; and if such should be the case, terrible times may be expected. A spirit of wild and reckless republicanism is at work in France, and has been agitating the masses to a greater or less extent ever since the first great revolution. A natural vent is | provided for it in the ballot box, and through that medium it will evince its strength by the election of such violent republicans as Carmot, Vidal, and their associates. If they obtain a majority in the National Assembly, the transported insurrectionists ot June will be restored to freedom, Louis Blane and cther refugees will be permitted to return, the whole of France will soon be in a blaze, the demo- cratic spirit in Italy, Germany, and other countries will be awakened into new life, and then the great and final struggle between the antagonistic and opposing elements of government will take place. Franee is about to enter on a new and wonderful career, that will set Europe in a blaze, and strike with consternation the whole civilized world. No revolution that ever took place in that country was finished. The great winding up—the great con- clusion—cannot, from present indications, be far off. It may be precipitated by the government, but we hardly think that any opportunity fora coup d'etat will be given by the ultra republicans. They appear to have discovered that the ballot is mightier than the sword. France seems destined to be the regenerator of Europe. Tur Nasuvitie Convextion ann THE Nortaran States.—There is a good deal said, in public and many surmises are made as to its origin, history, cha- raeter, and objects.

It would be much more eentral and convenient for all partice. di Tur Wwios axp tan Canimet.—The Hon. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, has denounced the admin- istration poliey in conncetion with the question of slavery in the new territories, and rebuked the plan of the President for its settlement.
