S. HONEY ,IIARKET AND CITY NEWS., CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markus during the last few days have shown rather snore activity. Sugars for refining purposes ham been rather largely dealt in at fair rates. Th , dealin g 8 in the fine kinds of coffee have been active, and rice, fruit, and spices have been in modJrate request. Tea, however, has remained inactife, and at public sale previous rates were with S ome difficulty rea lised. The transactions in saltpetre have been on a moderate scale, at former quotations. Tallow has shown less animation, the trade having bought only for immediate requirements, and little speculative business has been transacted—prices being a shade flatter for both present and forward delivery. Greater activity is apparent in the money-mar ket, owing to the increased demand for commercial purposes, and for the Consol settlement. The effect has been a slight advance in the rates of discount, very few bills being now negotiated under 4 per cent.; even the terms for loans at the Stock Ex change have approached that quotation. InCreased ease is reported in the New York money-market, owing to an abundant supply and a limited inquiry. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was moderately active, and prices were steadily supported. The sales were 7,000 bales. The Rail way Share Market closed quietly, and quotations were considerably lower. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no bullion operations of importance. The half-yearly interest on the Stockholm Gua rantee Associations 6 per Cent. Bonds has been advertised for payment. The English Stock Market is very quiet, and the few transactions recorded have not caused any material alteration in prices. There is still a heavy tone in consequence of the unsettled state of con tinental affairs, and the speculators are effecting sales. Consols have been 941,- 1 for money and 94 1 for account, but in the early part of the day they were 1 per cent. lower. Very little busi ness is reported on behalf of the investing public. The New Three per Cents. are 911 f ; a special transfer is recorded in the Reduced at 917 ; the New 21 per Cents. are 781; India New Loan is 1031 1041-; ditto 5 per cent. Enfaced Paper is firm at 99t, ; ditto 51 per cent. ditto is fiat at 105; and Exchequer Bills are 18s. to 225. prem., being a decline. A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, but prices are depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 to 80 ; ditto New, 62 to 621. Portuguese have receded to 44, Rus sian 41 per Cents. to 971, 981, ditto 3 per Cents. to 65, and Peruvian to 921 1. Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. are firmer at 84, and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 1021. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 31- prem., the Universal ditto I prem., and the Canada Loan is 1; 7 1- prem. The Buenos Ayres Railway Shares are -I, prem. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted in the Railway Share Market, and prices have shown rather more firmness. Lancashire and York shire, Brighton, South Western, North Western, and South Eastern have improved ss. and Midland 10s. Eastern Counties and North British, however, have further declined about ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have undergone little change of importance. Lombardo. Venetian are at previous values ; East Indian hare receded to ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 1; and Great Western of Canada, Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are a shade firmer ; Bank of Australasia have im proved 10s. ; Oriental Bank, as.; and Peninsular and Oriental steam, 108.

A WORD IN SEASON.—The French army of half a million is available to-morrow, and a conscription would give the pick of as many men as might be required to re cruit it. When the Emperor declares war, he will not give us time to organise new regiments or to call out the re • minder of the militia. There is no doubt but that the 20 miles of sea is as good as an army of 200,000 men at least ; but suppose the Channel once crossed by an enemy, what have we to oppose him ? It is assorted we can only bring into the field, on a point between London and the south oast, an army of 20,000 men, part of which must he cow- Posed of militia. That is all.—Once a Wcek. • _ i t- 4T. SHARE MARKB7 THIS DAY.) ORDTNA.RY SHARES AND STOCKS. _ Clo•ing I Shari Railway!. Paid. Price. Business 12.14 i„meerl.r.,N ()Mug.

HOUSE OF LDRDS—Crills EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack dit five o'clock. CHURCH RATES. A number of petitions ware presented by the Earl of HARDWICKE and several other peers against the aboli tion of church rates. COOLIE LABOURERS. The Earl of ELLENBOUGH said, as the House of Commons had agreed to grant extracts of the correspon dence between her Majesty's Government and the Govern ment of France, in respect to legalising the exportation of natives of British India as indentured labourers to French coloxies, he presumed there would be no objection to lay the same papers on their lordships' table. Lord WO DEHOUSE said there would be no objection to such a course. CENTRAL ITALY. The Marquis of NORMANBY moved for a copy of any instructions addressed by the Secretary of State to her Ma jesty's Charge d'Affairs at Florence, directing him to im press upon the Provisional Government the duty of ab staining from any arbitrary acts calculated to destroy all freedom of action in connection with those fresh elections which her Majesty's Government had thought proper to recommend. He had no idea that so very shortly after peace had been arranged that the English Government had dropped the mask of neu trality and assumed the attitude of strong partizans. He complained very much of the conduct of her Majesty's Government, in shortly after the conclusion of peace be tween Austria and France giving instructions to Mr. Corbett calculated to prevent the accomplishment of that object. He was strongly of opinion that the letter written by Lord John Russell to the Charge d'Affaires at Flo rence, dated the 19th of July, was directly at variance with the terms of peace. In that letter he had spoken of an attempt to suppress popular feeling in favour of the Archducal GovernrAent as unjust. He should like to know whether a statesman, who had so much horror of cor ruption at English elections,could not find a harder expression to apply to such proceedings. The noble lord then proceeded to notice the present state of Tuscany, and said that for the last three months, until that day, no single letter had ever been allowed to leave the Tuscan Post-office. It had been customary for him to receive three or four a week, many of which bore the appearance of having been opened, but the letter he had received that day was the first that had for same time, as he had stated came to hand. The letter in ques tion came from an English lady at Florence, who had married an Italian gentleman, who had been torn from her by the Provisional Government of Tuscany, and confined in prison without the slightest appearance of trial, or without knowing the nature of the charge against him. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THis EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. DOVER ELECTION. Mr. GASKELL, the chairman of the committee ap pointed to try the merits of the petition against the return of Admiral Lecke and Mr. Nicol, brought up the report, whieh was to the effect that the sitting members were duly returned, that bribery was committed, but without their knowledge or that of their agents, and the charge of undue influence at the election on the part of Ministers or other servants of the Crown was not proved to the satisfaction of the committee. PETITIONS. TSig . GRAHAM Presentedapetition, signed by 1,000 gra d uate ,, and under-graduates of the Aberdeen University praying t h at in any measure of reform, that university should be admitted to Parliamentary representation. Several petitions w.Zre presented from ladies in favour of legalising marriage with,: deceased wife's sister ; against licensing eating-houses, &c. 4; against different details of the budget; by Mr. BBIGHT, from inhabitants of Dunmow, in Ireland, in favour of vote by ballot as adopted in Aus tralia ; and by Mr. HALIBURTON, frow New Brunswick against the abolition of the timber duties. WEXFORD HARBOUR. Mr. REDMOND moved that the order (Feb. 17) for a return relative to Wexford Harbour be discharged ; and instead thereof copy of report upon Wexford Harbour by Mr. Coofe, C.E., and of the plan connected therewith, and of other papers on the same subject, to the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty.—Ordered. GOVERNMENT OF SINGA.PCRE- Mr. GREGSON asked the Secretary of State for India if her Majesty's Government had arranged with the Viceroy of India to transfer the control at the Government of Sin gapore and the Straits from Bengal to the Colonial Office; and, if so, when it was proposed to complete the same transfer. Sir C. WOOD was understood to say that he had formed an opinion favourable to the transfer, but it was impossible to furnish the information required by the:hon. member. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY' TROOPS. S EUROPEAN General PEEL asked the Secretary of State for India, whether there was any truth in the statement that ha " d a peared in the papers, copied from the Owls Gasette, Th p at tidings had been received at head quarters of a feeling of discontent still lingering in the minds of the remnants of the late Company's European troops, especially the arta lery ?" Sir C. WOOD said he had aeon the statement alluded to, but the Government had received no official information on the subject. MANOR COURTS IN IRELAND. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, when the scale of compensation to be given to the seneschals and the registrars of seneschals, consequent on the abolition of Manor Courts in Ireland, would be a nnounced. Mr. CARDWELL said that the Treasury minutes on the subject would be shortly issued. NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IREL fo AND. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief Secretary Ireland whether he was prepared to introduce any reforms u im provements in the present system of natio nal educa tio n Ireland ? Mr. CARDWELL said the house was awarea adhere her Majesty's Government inten ded firmly to.emb d F ers ull to the system of national educat ion ino .! 1 and ample means would'cli be ts or affor alterations that i t was dei t Iheonan. m to consider any improve. en proposed to introduce. • ESOLUTION. THE CUSTOMS Th e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the house at its rising should adjoure to Monday, and availed himself of that opportunity to make coma state ments. First, with regard to the question on the ta.:ble of a noble lord (Lord W. Graham), namely—" Whothar he considers that the profits of t enant farmers must haTe largely increased between 18534 and 1857-8, be cause the income tax under schedule B has been increased 19 per cent. during that period." Under that schedule the payment of rent was made the basis of taxation, and as the farmers did not complain of that mode of assessment, he supposed they did not prefer the adoption of profits as a test for the amount of income .tax to be itupoled He inferred, therefore, that their profits ann t have increased, and to a much larger extent than in previous years. With respect to the resolu tions 11, 12, and 13 in the Customs Act, and resolutions 1 and 2 in Ways and means, he would make a few observa tions. In those resolutions it was proposed not to impose any additional duty on these goods imported into this country on which a small duty was already paid, and with respect to such foreign goods as did not pay duty, he proposed to make a unit charge of Id., which was not to exceed a rate more than ls. Bd. per cent ad valorem. As regarded trans-shipment of goods it would not he just to impose any duty as would impede trade arising from that source of traffic. He proposed, therefore, to limit the duty en goods so tran shipped a,dnty at the rate of 1 per cent. On foreign goods which would have been liable to a duty of ld. on 1001bs. would be charged, and in regard to particular descrip tions,- ld. for every 501bs. On wines, Id. for every five gallons would be imposed. Those free imports which had not gone into bond would be considered as belonging to the same class as British goods when exported, and he proposed to charge them a small fee, but without reference to their description or the number of packages. Corn and timber were liable to a low duty, but they did not go into bond, ann they would not for the future pay the reg istration fee or any other charge on re-exportatio n. '(Hear.) In regard to rmovals of goods he proposed to make a considerable reduction in the present charges. It would not exceed more than one penny in the pound, and in the case of to bacoo, &c., it would be further reduced to a halfpenny per lb. He also proposed that ld., as he had already stated, should be charged, except in cases where the stock fell short of £2O ; or contract notes, and as re lated to dock warrants, the resolution he would submit to the house imposed a 3ci.nstam*. The right honourable gentleman concluded by laying oa the table resolutions embodying the alterations which he stated. (LEFT SITTING.) LONDON GAZETTE—(THIS' EVENINef.) DOWNING-STREET, MA.ncit 7.

THE EAST. •I` At the Thames Police-court yesterday the hear ing of the summonses against the Rev. Bryan King, and others, for assaults, were heard before Mr. Selfe. We are now enabled to give the result of these proceedings. _ _ _ The Rev. Bryan King, the Rector of St. George's the Rev. Mr. Dove, the curate, and other gentle men connected with the choir of St. George's-in-the- East, were summoned for assaults, arising out of the notorious proceedings of last Sunday after noon. The case occupied the attention of the magistrate six hours, but owing to the lateness of the hour no full report could be given. We there. merely state the result. The Rev. Bryan King was fined ss, on the com plaint of assault on Mr. Littlejohn, son of a vestry man. Mr. Dove, the curate, was fined 40s. for the as sault on Mr. C. Herbert. The rest of the defendants were admonished 4nd dismissed. TIIE EXTRAoRDINARY HIGH TIDES. The prediction of a high tide, or rather a succes sion of high tides, at this time, from the planetary influences favourable to such a result, has been fully verified, in the Thames at all events. The first in dication of this phenomenon showed itself on Wed nesday afternoon, when at two o'clock the usual high water mark having been reached, the tide still kept rising, and the waters continued their onward flow till many portions of the banks of the river were laid under water to an alarming extent. But yesterday's tide, as was anticipated, far out stripped that of the previous da y ; and notwith standing the precautions taken by occupiers of property on the waterside a great amount of damage has been done. The wind, which had been blowing for the pre ceding 24 hours from the north-east, had driven an immense volume of water from the North Sea into the estuary at the month of the Thames, and sud denly shifting on the flood to nearly due east, the accumulated waters rushed up the river with a ve locity seldom known in European rivers, and more resembling "the bore" not un frequent in the Ganges, the Hooghly, and other Asiatic rivers. Its velocity continued to increase, and at three-quar ters flood was such that several vessels were driven from their moorings or dragged their anchors, caus ing considerable confusion in the Upper and Lower Pools, and the tiers of vessels lying between Rother hithe and London-bridge, many of which breaking adrift, occasioned numerous collisions, which re sulted in the loss of spars, rigging, and sails, and damage to boats and bulwarks. Above bridge the velocity of the current was equally disastrous, several barges and lighters having been driven from the wharfs, causing much damage, and one laden barge was sunk. The lighter and watermen not without considerable difficulty, succeeded in securing the drifting craft. Providentially at this time—half-past one o'clock—the wind shifted so as to obstruct in a great measure a greater influx of water, and thereby prevented a larger amount of damage. As it was the damage was extensive ; the halfpenny steam-boat pier was overflowed in a similar manner to the preceding tido, when passengers were compelled to be embarked and landed at Waterloo-bridge pier, and the carriage road on the river side of the Adelphi arches was partially inundated. The low-lying wharves and landing-places, particularly on the south side of the river, were laid under water, and buoyant articles swept away. It also inundated the basements of many waterside premises, and damaged the con tents. At Woolwich, in consequence of the precautions taken during the week, the high tide of yesterday caused comparatively little damage at the dock yard. The wharfs were partially overflowed, and the floor of the mast-house under water. At the Royal Arsenal the swell of the river inundated a portion of land near the canal, but no serious damage resulted. On the Medway, at Chatham Dockyard, the tide on Wednesday rose to 22ft 10in. high-water being ten minutes past one o'clock. At two o'clock yes terday, the time of high-water, it was 19 feet 4 inches. There were a considerable number of acres of land under water, and much damage has been done. A farmer, of the name of Gale, living at Stoke, unfortunately lost a horse and upwards of 100 sheep by drowning ; and the rifle practice ground used by the troops was under water, cover ing the targets. Several small craft in the river have been seriously injured, both in their rigging and hulls. At Liverpool yesterday the river Mersey presented a very interesting appearance in consequence of the high state of the tide, the water reaching up until within two feet of the dock and harbour piers. It is many years since there have been such a suc• cession of high tides, and in some parts of the town, which lie low, the cellars were flooded, owing to the sewers leading into the river conveying the water to the low ground. Fortunately there was but little wind at the time, otherwise the result might have:been anything but agreeable. Last night the water rose a little over 21 feet, and many of the vessels looked as if their keels were resting on terra . firma, instead of a more congenial element. At Southampton the tide at high water at noon day yesterday was not higher than the usual spring tides. Wind N.E. (BY SVBItikEINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.) GRAN RsEN n, Friday Morning.

The committee appointed to try the merits of the election petition in the case of this borough were sworn in, and wile meet to-morrow at one o'clock. EAST INDIA.—INDENTURED LABOURERS. Mr. CAVE moved an address for copies of correspendence between her Majesty's Government and the Government of France in respect to legalising the exportation of natives or British India as indentured labourers to French colonies. Lord J. RUSSELL made an explanation, to the effect that the treaty was intended to prevent a revival of the African slave trade, but it was not yet signed. The corres pondence was very voluminous, but he had no objection to produce any extracts that might be required. PAPER DUTY. In answer to Mr. BRIGHT, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said an arrangement of a modified nature Tied been come to between the hon. member for Somerset and himself, to the:effect that the discussion on the proposal for the repeal of the paper duty should be taken to-morrow if the business of the House should permit. If, however, the discussion on the subject of the treaty should not be brought, to a close that evening, he should propose to take that on the paper duty on Monday next. THE TREATY WITH FRANCE—ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. Mr. BYNG said that the house would feel he was about to address it under circumstances of no ordinary nature. Under any circumstances a responsibility such as his would be a serious one, but in the present case it was much in creased by the discussion which had taken place on a former evening. If the shortness of his first notice had occasioned any inconvenience to hon. members he deeply regretted it— still he could not but remember that on the 17th February a notice of a very serious nature was given under similar circumstances, with this difference that the not ice of the 17th of February appeared only in the votes on Saturday morn ing, whereas he (Mr. Byng) took every pains to give pub licity to his notice, and sent copies to the right hon. mem ber for Buckinghamshire and the hon. member for Sunder land. He was glad to know that in making his motion he was treading in well-known steps. lie found that on the 21st February, 1787, Mr. Blackburn, of Lancashire, moved and Capt. Barclay of Gloucestershire, seconded, a motion for an address thanking the Crown for the Pitt treaty; and. in his own time he recollected the address of 1856 on the treaty of peace with Russia. Under even ordinary circum stances it would be difficult to separate the commercial from the political features of a treaty like the present ; now, ho knew it was impossible, and he did not shrink frora the alternative. Under ordinary circumstances he might havo contented himself with quoting the words of Lord Cowley, and expressing a hope that the treaty might be the means of drawing closer the bonds of amity between the two na tions. But he must go further. Ile was merely an inde pendent member of Parliament, he was not in the secrets of Government, but he believed that in negotiating this treaty the Ministers had mainly negotiated a treaty which had been predetermined on by public opinion throughout the country. He for one would never have given it his support had he not been firmly convinced that it was sure to be beneficial to the country. (Hear.) *With regard to our foreign policy, we ought to act with dig nified forbearance, calm consideration, and promote a friendly intercourse with all nations, and we ought also to neglect no reasonable opportunity of extending our com• mercial and trading connections with other countries. (Hear, hear.) With regard to peace, we should use every means in our power to preserve it, and with respect to war we should act up to the Spcnish proverb—" Do not draw the sword without reason, and do not sheath it without honour." (Hear.) We should respect treaties, but, above all, we should not interfere unwarily, unnecessarily, or lin eal:, d for, in the internal affairs of other states. (Hear, bear.) He believed that a policy of this kind would ensure respect abroad and confidence at hone. But if we pursued this line of policy, there was no reason why we should not, on all legitimate opportunities, endeavour to extend our trading and eommercial relations with other countries— (cheers)—more especially, as in the present instance, where it might go far to wipe out ancientprejudices. (Hear, hear.) There was another subject with regard to our foreign policy which was of a very painful character. He would certainly have wished to postpone any observations he might make with respect to the am - exation of Savoy to a more legiti mate opportunity-, but as he believed the motion to-night involved :to a certain degree an expression of opinion of confidence in her Majesty's ministers, this much he would sly, that he believed with regard to this question our foreign policy and the best interests of Europe were in safe and trustworthy hands. (Cheers.) To say more on that subject at present would be inopportune. (Hear, hear.) He would ask the house to go for a few moments into the considera tions and arguments which had been made during the last eight nights of the debate. He had heard with some sur prise a statement made by the right hen. member for Bucks that the course taken by her Majesty's ministers was nei ther a right nor a fair one with regard to that house. He believed the right hon. gentleman said that the house should have first been invited to express its approbation or disapprobation of the treaty of commerce end proceed to move an address to the Crown, and then, supposing that question to be decided in the affirmative, they might dis cuss, object to, and reject various items in the tariff. The house, however, decided otherwise, and they had had lengthened debates, but he was surprised to find that the course which met with the approbation of the right hon. gentleman was the very course which the leader of the op position in 1787 both denounced and deprecated. On that cccasion Mr. Fox stated that of all courses of proceeding that by address was the most alarming, sinceit endeavoured to tie up the hands of ministers and to render null and void all those reforms which our ancestors had obtained to secure freedom in our Parliamentary discussions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer introduced his financial scheme at the same time that the provisions of the treaty of commerce were laid upon the table of the house. The expectation of the public was naturally excited, and time was given to the country to decide. Deputation after deputation waited on the right hon. gentleman, all the great trading and monied interests of the country wire consulted, ninny amendments `were proposed, and many deficiencies detected. He could t help being struck with what took place during the de bate. Upon that occasion hon. gentlemen representing such great and important constituencies as South Lanca shire, Liverpool, Cornwall, the Potteries, an-I other places, declined to follow the right hon. memberfor Bucks. (Hear, lwar.) What inference could be drawn from this but that they wisely preferred what they believed to be for the true interests of their constituencies and of the country to any advantage that might be gained by a party victory. (Loud cheers.) In glancing at the treaty he would endeavour not to over estimate its advantages, and he would pro mise the house not to undervalue its correspond ing disadvantages, nor to gloss over its defects. He supported the treaty, in the first instance, because he saw that on our part it involved an almost entire removal of pro tective duties, and :ft simplification of the tariff which had long. been urgently asked for. (Hear.) He believed that 200 years ago there were no less than 1,630 articles charged with duty. In 1787 there were 1,425 articles so charged. In 1;26 the number was 1,280; In 1811, 1,163 ; is 1815, 1,052 ; in 1853 the number had decreased to 468 ; in 1859 it was 419 ; and if this treaty came into effect, in 1860 there ' would be bat 44 articles charged with duty. (Hear.) Ile valued the treaty also on the part of France for this reason, because he saw an abandonment of prohibition and a great equalisation of the duties levied upon import articles of Eng lish produce and manufacture. But be had heard during the late debate, and probably he should hear it to-night, that those who argued this treaty would do good were making a very bad bargain for the people of England. In answer to that he would say, if these were questions of how much, on the one hand, you would give, and on the other hand, how little you would take, the assertion of the Oppo sition might have some weight ; but he denied that these negotiations had been entered into in a spirit of mere barter or as a bargain. (Hear, hear.) The treaty was nothing of the sort. It was not even a treaty of reciprocity. (Oppo sition cheers) But it was one of mutual benefit. (Hear, hear.) In this treaty the ,people of England spoke to the people of France, and said that past years of distress and recent years of unexampled prosperity had shown them that the principles on which their commercial legislation was founded were wise and just, and, wishing other nations to be prosperous as they were, they invited them to meet England in the spirit of free trade. We did not ask France to melee a bargain in which every article should be weighed with extreme nicety, but we asked her to remove her pro hibition and reduce her protective duties, and thus meet us in the spirit of free trade—(hear, hear) —and we would venture to predict that in a short time our wishes on the subject would also be those of the people of France. (Hear, hear.) How did the French answer this ? They recog nised the justice of our arguments, but said that with them free trade was a new light. Our ar gumentswere novel to many of them and unpalatable to some, us but i in f o w u e r gave them time they would endeavour to imitate us path of commercial progress and our commercial to carryoutr ci legisla tion, and honourably and faithf ull y endeavour o ß x yn ica g l ) asit anilligthhteisreeengagements. 012(.1 showed its great enthusiasm on ei e e a n r tl e n h t e r e a ri r . 1 ) 1: ieni:(aMr Paradoxical be lieved that the fact of e this sid torfearthyeneohahnnel metwith much He felt confident, however, that impartiality.

(Hear.) No one would more gladly see all re strictions and differential dues removed than he would.

The latest commercial and political advices from Montevideo describe a favourable turn in the rela tions of that and the other States of the Argentine Confederation with Brazil. The excitement, as the period approaches for the election of the new Pre sident of the Republic, is not so great as in most countries. No addition to the list I advised in my last has been made public. The leading journal is writing most damnatory articles against Berro, the most respectable candidate of the four. It is not impossible that at the last moment another candi date may start up suddenly and be elected. Not one of the candidates publicly solicits support, nor puts forth any principles by which, if he were elected, his government would be administered. Perhaps their opinions of themselves arc so high that they imagine the public cannot think other wise of them. At all events, their silence possesses the merit of keeping them uncompromised. They may possibly think an appeal to the public unne cessary, when they will owe their election exclu sively to the Deputies and Senators. Nothing further has been done in regard to the Anglo- French claims. It is said the British and French diplomatists are waiting new instructions from their Governments. Brazil is reducing the strength of her naval force in these waters, and, it is said, is about to adopt an entirely new policy in her inter course with the River Plate Republics. She has a considerable army on the frontiers, but no reason able man thinks she wishes to provoke a war. Peace is equally essential to her as to these coun tries. Considerable shipments of produce from this port are being made to Europe and America, and there is great activity among the Saladeristas.The cattle are in good condition.
