TO CORRESPONDENT& PILICES OF POTATOES IN THE LONDON MARKETS..—In reply to a letter received from a correspondent, on the sub ject of the prices of potatoes in the Borough and Spitalfields markets, we may observe, that those which have been lately inserted in our reports have referred to several very superior qualities, received chiefly by railway from distant parts of the country, and which have proved free from disease. He will observe that our general quotations refer to the value on ship-board, and not to those parcels which have been sorted. Of course, when the diseased and otherwise out-of-condition qualities are sold separately, miserably low rates are obtained for them ; but such information would be of no service what ever to the 'distant growers, whose potatoes are invariably disposed of in bulk. The potatoes grown in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis—nearly the whole of which are brought to, market in the early part of the season —do not, generally speaking, produce so much money as those grown in the north.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1846 Accounts from Ireland are both encouraging and alarming. The proceedings already taken by Government for the amelioration of the miseries of its people, and the character already acquired by the Ministry and their officials, as friends of that popula tion, have instilled a balm into Irish society; have allayed all the heartburnings and discontentment of the multitude ; and have prepared the way for the better: egislation and the social re-organization of that , populous, but impoverished community. In this re spect the aspect of Ireland is all sunshine; in another it is all derkness and desolation. Preceding intelli gence of the failure of the potato crop was but feebly indicative of the reality. By former packets we vier. assured that the murrain tad developed itself wilt, immeasurably greater rapidity, and had committed even at this commencement of the eetoon infinitely *THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNES DA EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1846. greater devastation through( )ut the country than on the occasion of its at ppearance in 1845. Terrible, however, as was this pie ture, it is as nothing to the confirmations of the f,ccouni ~ now arriving week after week at Liverpool rx.clßrist 3. I. From one extremity of Ireland to the oth , ,it —eastw ardsovestwa'rds, north wards, and southw•Ards—that vegetable 'pestilence has extended, witheri o g the foliag e t )f the svljacent hedges, blasting the v. irdant stalks anc 1 le a - yes of the potato plant to a bro.wn and pestiferou s de , cay, and soddening the tubers - with the most ir, ter/ .dicable rottenness. That be sutiful epithet, appli e d to hi s country by Alooftz and his brother melodi A t 3, is no longer appli cable.. " The Emerald Island"' is now a mockery to a / And reeking with noxiowt • vapours and fruitless fields. The " green isle of the ocean" presents 1 a landscape now more de' t ilorable than wilder nesses of sand. Its population behold their toil in cultivating the earth :rendered useless by an alarming freak of nal are ; they find their scanty provisions turning i nto poison round their hovels ; they hear of cor miderable quantities of oats and wheat exported fro) 21 the markets of Lime rick and elsewhere, and they A+:, 2 assured, as they turn to obey the promptings of hw J 8 - er, by devouring their infected potatoes, that they mi l l ht with equal wisdom consume proportionate quant sties of arsenic. No language, however sombre, c an convef any adequate impression of the mournfulr tess and the inauspicious gloom which pervades the it 'land, and even the sea ward districts of Ireland. aevertheless, it is suffi cient briefly to say that sr kch is literally the con dition of her people. We hr we no ambition to harrow the feelings of the public by detailing the pangs of their countrymen. We - never took pleasure in lingering over the 'wor.fs of UGOLIIIO, or over suck spectacles of •sufferings as that described by DANTF, in his narrative 'of purgatory, where • one phantom 'tore the hair and scalp of his enemy off with his teeth, and glanced up for an instant at the bard with his jaws dripping with . blood, and clogged with hair: from the prosecution of his devilish banquet. Our sympathies do not attract us in such a horrid direction. A calm and e74plicit statement of the broad fact will be amply sufficient for our purpose :—the potato crop is destroyed throughout Ireland—cholera has already appeared in those quarters where the contaminated rocts have been devoured—starvation and contagion must inevitably follow, unless efforts are made to eradicate the dis• ease already generated, and to supply the deficiency by the importation of provisions and the giving em ployment to the sufferers. Impressed with the reality of the emergency, it becomes of next importance to inquire whether the movements and propositions of the Executive are proportioned to that emergency. We think not. The Administration has proceeded upon the right prin ciple ; we believe the various members of the Cabi net to be actuated by the most generous sentiments towards the Irish population, and yet we are per suaded from our hearts that more remains to be done, if they would effectually allay the social and corpo real and moral pangs of that heretofore doomed and luckless race. Soothing syrups are inadequate to calm a body so racked and tormented ; the devil, by which its constitution is rent and contorted, must be exorcised before anything like a healthful calm can be restored. Fifty thousand pounds—calls upon baronies—recommendations to the merchants of Ireland to import Indian corn and meal for honie consumption, and such like precautions, are not suffi cient, we are assured, to restore the community to peace, plenty, and contentment. They are, as pre liminary measures, admirable. And for having so far answered to the call of a whole nation for protec tion and assistance, the Government has acted wisely and nobly. It has, indeed, entitled itself to the emphatic commendations and support of Mr. O'Cox- NELL. "I am bound to say," exclaimed the Libe rator, on Monday morning, " I am bound to say the Government shows the utmost degree of anxiety to afford relief!" That is precisely the position of the question. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues have shown themselves, and we believe them to be, the true friends of Ireland. They have shown them selves to be thus animated with sentiments of good will to that island by the conciliation of their Parlia mentary and Ministerial behaviour, by the appoint ments under Government, by the expressions in which they have alluded to Irish destitution and Irish distress. They have shown it in the measures passed through both Houses immediately before the prorogation of Parliament. The Ministers have indeed evinced the utmost anxiety to relieve ; but the question immediately under consideration is, not as to the anxiety to relieve, but as to the relief itself. We are compelled to think thus from the calamitous condition of Ireland ; and, thinking thus, we are most anxious for activity, acti vity, activity. Nevertheless, we are really sanguine of the ultimate safety and happiness of Ireland, because we are likewise sanguine that her MAJESTY 'a Ministers will be as vigilant as they have already proved them selves wise and generous. According to our promise we resume the consi deration of the Report of the Committee of Rail ways. The other recommendations on the Com mittee are, first, that "No future lines, either for main trunks or branches, should be ceded, except for terms of years." We do not think that the policy of this suggestion is quite so clear as that of the others to which we have already called attention, now that the principal and most remunerative lines have been already constructed or sanctioned by the Legis lature, and a variety of other projects have been embarked in, which have only been postponed until the next session of Parliament; which, if then ap proved of, could not in justice or equity be made sub ject to the operation of a law not in existence when the capital was subscribed and the preliminary expenses incurred. The lines which are not included in either of the above categories do not afford so tempting a prospect to capitalists desirous of per manent investment, as to lead to the supposition that they will be undertaken and carried into execution, if the proprietors are to be entitled to them only for a limited term of years, in place of in perpetuity, as heretofore. The Government must,therefore, in all pro bability, either construct them with the public money, or suffer the wants of the country to remain unpro vided for; either of which courses appears to us highly objectionable. We think that the Government should never enter into competition with the subjects in fair and bonli fide speculations; the prosperity of a country is owing to the wealth of individual mem bers more than to that of the State itself. And we think that greater happiness and benefit to the nation, in general, will be obtained by the large amount of capital represented by railway, being permitted to remain in the hands of the proprietors, than if it had, on the expiration of the terms of years for which they had been conceded, become the exclusive property of the State. We think the true and just principle is, that the most perfect freedom of action should be conceded to every person in any enterprise in which he may think it desirable to embark. If the Government are to be suffered to become traders, to embark in any project or under taking, because it appears likely to prove profitable, the natural and probable result will be, that indivi dual enterprise will be extinguished in that particular branch where the nation itself starts as a competitor and rival. We profess ourselves to be free-traders in the most extended meaning of the term, and we con ceive that, by such an interference, the energies of the people would be cramped and fettered. The public have a right to demand that the fullest con trol and superintendence shall be exercised by a com petent body over the management of the different companies, so that the national interests should not be prejudiced by the exclusive rights conceded to them, but with tbat exception, which necessity de mands, it should be left in the hands of the pro prietary. The second recommendation, that full and ac curate accounts of the proceedings of railway companies, embracing their whole receipts and ex penditure, shall be laid from time to time before Par liament, we fully assent to ; the greatest degree of publicity, should be given t o a ll t h e i r acts in order that it may be fully tested whether the mode of their management is correct in principle, and beneficial both to themselves and the public in its results—in 'lced the due control and superintendence, the necessity if which we have advocated, demands this publicity to give it effect. The third and fourth recommenda tions, we have already alluded to, and expressed our approbation of, wid tgfiQ the fifth, which has *goy been partially acted on by the formation of the new railway board, to which all the necessary powers will be accorded next session. The preliminary inquiries thereby suggested will be valuable, not merely in deciding what lines are necessary for the supply of the wants of the country, and how far a given project may be conducive to that end, and providing Par liament with such information as may be of use to enable it to legislate in the way most beneficial to the public, but also in materially diminishing the extraordinary amount of preliminary expenses, legal and otherwise, the magnitude of which is one of the greatest blots and abuses on the English system. The Parliamentary expenses of the Great Western Rail way are stated to have been 1,0001. per mile, of the London and Birmingham 6501. per mile, and of the Eastern Counties, of fifty-one miles, 45,0901., while the other preliminary expenses amounted to no less a sum than 48,6501., making no less an expenditure than 93,8401., before one single shilling was expended in the actual construction of the works. This fearful waste of the public money is a grievance to which there must be placed some limitation. If returns could be obtained of the solicitors' bills of costs and other expenses incurred during the progress of the mania last year, in the several schemes that never even came before Parliament, or did not obtain the legislative sanction, a sum total would be presented that would astound the public. When it is stated on good authority that the solicitor's account in one Bill, which never went beyond the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Commons, amounted to no less a sum than 82,000/., and this exclusive of the expenses of engineers, and various other outlays, some notion may be formed of the aggregate of the 700 schemes, and upwards, which came to an untimely end, or at least did not receive the sanction of the Legislature. They certainly manage things far better in France, in this respect, when we find, that in the Rouen and Havre line, the expenses incurred in the inquiry before the board, and up to the time the Act was obtained, amounted to only 7001., about the one-hundredth part of what it would hare cost in this country—indeed, we fear that the great facility given to the creation of costs and law expenses was the original and ex citing cause of a very large proportion of the crude and undigested schemes by which the country was last year deluged, and which did so much mis chief in its results. A lawyer wanted business, and forthwith a railway was got up for his especial benefit. He had his staff of provisional committee men ready, who, dazzled by the premiums at which every new scheme came out, and, reckless of the lia bilities and consequences entailed upon themselves, too readily lent the sanction of their names to any undertaking. The only remaining recommendation is, " that the companies should he obliged to carry the Post-office mails by passenger trains, free of all charges, and at times when there are no passenger trains for the ad ditional expense thereby occasioned." Now we cannot assent to this suggestion. We see no reason why the Government should be permitted to take the property or the labour of individuals without a fair recompense therefor; every facility that is re quired for the public service should be given, and at a fair and reasonable rate ; but that pressing into the public service gratuitously what may be obtained by paying for it, is one of the most objec tionable features of a despotic power. We think that point may be fairly left to the control and super intendence of the new board, to decide on a fair and equitable adjustment of the question between the companies and the public. The same may be said of the case of soldiers, sailors, and other bodies of men in the public service, the alterations respecting which have not been considered by the Committee. On the whole the report may be considered a most valuable document, affording data and premises on which the public may be enabled to arrive at just and reason able conclusions; and much is due to Mr. MORRISON and his coadjutors for the zeal and ability with which they conducted the inquiry entrusted to their charge. It appears that the person who sent the box of explosive materials to the Prince of SAMOS, at Con stantinople, with the intention of murdering his Highness, and the explosion from which wounded his servant and physician, is a certain CONSTANTINE STAMATIDES, the friend and associate of M. COLETTI, the Prime Minister of Greece, of M. PIscATORY, the French Ambassador at the Court of Athens, and who accompanied the French Admiral TURPIN as inter preter, during his recent voyage in the Archipelago. The question of the Jesuits was considered by the Swiss Diet, which was held at Zurich on the 25th of August. On the question being put to the vote, the following were the results :—For the abandonment of the question, 8} states; to declare the question a federal affair, 1(4- states ; to summon all the states to repel the Jesuits, 91 states; to invite only Lucerne to expel them, 8f states ; to invite the three other states to adopt that zeasure, states ;to prohibit any further reception of the Jesuits, 10 states. We learn from a letter, published in the German Gazette of Frankfort, that the Austrian Government had consented to take off the sequestration placed on the property of the Princess CZARTORYSKI in Galicia, on the Prince signing a written engagement not to interfere in the affairs of Poland. The latest intelli gence from Galicia is to the 18th ult., and is pub lished in the Cologne Gazette. It is as follows :- 1 "We learn from Tarnow, of the 16th, that the peasants of Wolga, near Dembetza, to the number of 200, exciu d by a Jewish emissary, assailed the Chateau of Wulga, and pillaged it. The owner of the chateau escaped with great difficulty. On the receipt of this news a detach ment of cavalry left Dembetza for Wolga, and dispersed the band, taking 26 prisoners. The principal leader, however, escaped. This event has caused so much alarm among the gentry, that they all left their country houses and sought refuge in the towns. Tarnow is full of re fugees. The reports in circulation, that disturbances had taken place in the circles of Lemberg, is without foundation —everything remains tranquil." The King of DENMARK has accepted the resigna tion of the Prince of AUGUSTENBURO as Commander in-Chief of Schleswig-Holstein, and discharged him from the office of President of the Regency of the the Duchy. Major-General Luzow is appointed Commander-in -Chief. His MAJESTY has, however, continued to the Prince of AUGIJSZENBIIRG the emo luments of the offices held by him as a pension. A letter from Ystad, in Scania (Sweden) of the 24th, says : " The King and Queen of Sweden have been attacked with the measles, while on a visit at the Chateau of the Count de Piper, at Krageholm, but are now in a s t a t e o f convalescen ce . Th e disorder has been very prevalent in this province during the summer. The Prince Royal and Prince Augustus have also suffered from it, but slightly. The squadron of evolution has brought back Prince Oscar from St. Petersburgh to Calscrona. His reception by the Emperor of Russia was most gracious. The Prince Royal and Prince Gustavus are to be present at the manoeuvres of the camp in Silesia, and will after wards visit the Courts of Dresden and Munich. The Queen-Mother will not return to Stockholm until their Majesties are perfectly recovered." The Augsburgh Gazette publishes a letter, dated Athens, August 13, which states that the Govern ment had submitted to the Chamber a Bill, declaring that two-thirds of the surplus of the receipts over the expenditure of :the year 1845.6, should be employed in payment of the interest and sinking fund of the debt due by Greece to England and Russia. Madrid papers to the 26th have arrived. On the evening of the 25th there had been a grand reception at the Palace in honour of the fete day of the Infanta Lune FERNANDA. The question of the QUEEN'S marriage still occupied the public atten tion. The Members of the Cabinet, it is said, are divided; some being in favour of Don FRANCISCO D'Assls, others of a Prince of Coburg. The majority, however, are in favour of Don FRANCISCO. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 26.—The Three per Cents, were done at 34 for cash ; the Four per Cents., at 21i; the Five per Cents., at 22 ; the Debt Without Interest, at 6i ; and the Coupons, at 261. We have received the Paris papers of Monday► The following altcle on the policy of the new P orn is froul the Journal des Debits. It is important as skiving that the French Government will support the Sovereign Pontiff in the career of liberality which he has adopted, provided he continues to maintain legality and order, the best guarantees for the main tenance of which are to be found in the timely con cession of necessary reforms. After praising the appointment of Cardinal Glut and the measures hitherto adopted by that Minister, the Journal des Debats thus proceeds :-- "It maybe Affirmed that the moilent. party humor . ~ __ been really constituted in Italy until the accession of the present Pope. Before his time public opinion remained unfixed. The too convenient doctrine of despair was still holding back a great number of persons, when the measures adopted by the new Pontiff gave encourage ment to those who were desirous of progressive improve ments without any violent shock or disorder, and preached observance of the law. The success of the loyal addresses presented to the present Pope by the in habitants of the legations produced a wonderful effect, and induced all men to enter upon the same path. We now learn from all parts that the extreme parties are routed, and that moderate opinions remain master of the field. We see with great satisfaction this easy conquest of peace and of the principles of genuine liberty. The moral support of enlightened nations cannot be wanting to those who, by legal means, endeavour to bring about improvements, and aspire to effect their object by other means than rebel lion or disorder. A party proposing to itself to obtain grand reforms by legal means, and without disturbing the tranquillity of the people, undertakes the most glorious, but at the same time the most difficult, task that can be given to man to accomplish. Although mo derate opinions have in a short space of time made such remarkable progress in Italy, it does not follow that those who profess them possess already all that is neces sary for attaining their object. To effect great ends, it is not sufficient that a party should be numerous—it should, above all things, be well disciplined. Now, al though on the other side of the Alps, the majority may be imbued with moderate ideas, organization is want ing, and without that success is not possible. We do not, in saying this, allude t o th a t organi zation of secret societies, concealing themselves in caverns, and frequently amusing themselves with setting up vain symbcls ; we mean the avowed and openly manifested organization of a powerful party, acknowledging the authority of superiors, and acting with openness and perseverance in the face of day, be cause their intentions are lure, and they are desirous of never departing from the line of legality. The satisfac tion, which men experience when they quit the tortuous path of plots and schemes, to take their stand on the open ground of legal resistance, on which they may always fight with their faces uncovered, ennobles the soul and elevates the heart. On this ground the contest may be greatly prolonged—it may present the most diverse phases ; but final &access can never be doubtful, if the men who are contenting for it are truly impressed with a sense of their duty, and consider their task as a grave undertaking which merits all their attention, and for which they ought, if called on, to sacrifice all their interests and all their pleasures," According to the Constitutionnel, there was a report current in Rome, that the King of SARDINIA had written to the Pont, complimenting him on the amnesty and the promise he had made of granting liberal institutions to his subjects. " This," says the Constitutionnel, " would be a most important fact. The existence of a friendly understanding between the Roman and the Piedmontese Governments would be a death-blow- to the retrograde party, and to Austrian influence. The approbation expressed by King CHARLES ALBERT had, it appears, inspired courage to Cardinal Gizzi, the Secretary of State, who had addressed a note to the King of NAPLES, complaining. of the hostile intentions he had mani fested towards the Pontifical Court." It would appear from the following article in the Epoque, the journal par excellence of M. GUIZOT, as if the French Minister for Foreign Affairs wished to exploite the visit of IBRAHIM PACIIA to Europe to his advantage : "Amongst the varicus problems for the future," says this other Ministerial journal, " which the eastern question has left hitherto unsolved, there is one which we avow has caused us some uneasiness. The heredi tary succession in the family of Mehemet Ali, that afflicting concession, which force alone wrested from the Porte, has not yet been consecrated by fact. Mehe met Ali is the first of his race, and the Divan has not yet renounced a secret hope of one day re-establishing its authority over Egypt. If, therefore, an opppor tu-aity can ever arrive for Turkey to make a last effort to accomplish this object, it will undoubtedly be at the mo ment when the death of Mehemet Ali, shall, for the first time, raise the question of succession. It is not that the rights of Ibrahim Pacha appear to us doubtful, for Europe has formally recognised them ; but it is well known, and the page of history forcibly reminds us of the fact, that the momentary crisis which ordinarily attends every transmission of sovereign power, offers a very seductive opportunity to the intrigues of the am bitious and to the objects of reactienists. There exists, perhaps, in the particular condition of the family of Me hemet Ali elements of discord which may be perfidiously acted on. The law of succession has hitherto re mained a dead letter, thanks to the long career of the reigning Pi ince. It has put forth no root, neither in the family nor among the people, and the traditions of Orientals are not of a nature to give it a power beyond the reach of all dispute. On the other hand, Ibrahim Pacha is not the only son of Slehemet Ali, and he is not even the only one that has given proofs of high capacity, and that enjoys consider able influence over the people. Ibrahim, it is true, com mands the army, but Said Pacha commands the fleet; and Abas Pacha participates largely in the labours of the Government, and has been able more than any other to acquire the love and confidence of the Viceroy, his father. Who can say that the mind of Said or of Abas would not be accessible to the insidious counsels which might excite in them the demons of ambition and jea lousy? A dispute relative to the succession, where each of the pretenders could have his party, might lead to civil war, put everything in doubt as to the question of Egypt, and deliver her up to foreign intrigues and exigen cies. Superficial minds may be but slightly struck by such provisions as these. Without being oursel ves i nc li ne d to exaggerate their importance, we nevertheless think that, in face of the well known disposition of the Porte, when it is considered, too, what indefatigable perseverance England is capable of using to obtain a result so important as that which would deliver up to her the Isthmus of Suez, it would be a want of common foresight not to seriously r e fl ec t on the subject. We think it was wise to dread that the Porte and England would be equally dis contented to recognise in the heir presumptive of Mehemet Ali, the worthy accomplisher of his father's work, and that they would hold themselves ready to shake his power, in order to impose on him their wishes. The French Government, therefore, used a wise and skilful policy when it persuaded Ibrahim Pacha to accept the invitation of the Queen of England. The oppor tunity was, in fact, favourable, not only for obtaining from the Government of Great Britain an implicit re cognition of the rights of the hero of Nezib as the here ditary Prince of Egypt, but also to overthrow all the hopes which might have been nourished by the Govern ment of Constantinople. England has now saluted Ibrahim Pacha as the future sovereign of Egypt ; only a few days since Sir Charles Napier solemnly proclaimed his right, and Lord Palmerston, the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, joined in th e d ec l arat i on. N ow, and in consequence of the visit of Ibrahim Pacha to England, the British Government has formally pledged itself as to the question of succession in Egypt. The Opposition, with that clear sightedness which distinguishes it, could only discover in all this affair an act of servility on the part of our Ministers toe ards our rivals on the other side of the channel. The Opposition must allow us to think differently, and to congratulate our Government for having known how to take advantage of circumstances in order to secure as much as possible fresh guarantees for the peace and independence of Egypt, whose strength and prosperity are so necessary to the triumph of the policy and interests of France." In the same paper we find the announcement of ;be departure from Paris of Prince CALLEMAKI, the Minister from the Porte to the Court of her Britan nic MAJESTY. This is, we believe, the first instance in which the SULTAN has ever sent a Christian as his representative to a foreign Court. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and his fleet were in the Bay of Naples on the 22d. HENRI was on Sunday removed from the Luxem bourg to the Conciergerie. The potato disease is spreading in all parts of France. In the neighbourhood of Paris and in the department of the Oise, more particularly at Cressy, it has manifested itself with the greatest virulence.

By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 % per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 8/. 178. 10 1 4 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9% - and the exchang e a t Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10 1 , it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than i n Hamburgh. The course of exchange at-New York on London is 108 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and Amerka being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.58 per cent. against England.

It was resolved to memorialise the Lords of the Treasury in favour of adhering to the old site. A good deal was said of the Pre , ent inconvenience sustained by various classes of the public; and it was stated that omnibuses went over the bridge 630 times a day, and 730 in summer; these were now paying 154 15s. a day in tolls, or above 5,0001. A year. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool was rather dull. Sales, 10,000 bales. Shares were rather heavy. Messrs. Dimond and Co.'s sale yesterday was well at ended., and very good prices were obtained. Some of he scrips show a considerable rise. The following are a few of tho principal sales:— Louvain ala Sambre £l 6 0 Reading and Reigate .. 1 2 0 Northern and Southern Connecting Oxford, NA itney, and Cheltenham 0 10 6 Shropshire Union and Canal Cambridge and Oxford Grand Union Over Yssel South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 3 7 0 Taw Vale Extension and Dock 0 10 6 Eastern Counties, York Extension 2 8 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Great Eastern and Western 0 18 6 Churnet and Blvthe Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 1 2 0 London and York Manchester and Southampton 1 0 0 Great North of India 0 5 0 East Indian 0 17 0 West Riding Union Paris and Lyons Direct Northern 1 15 0 Great Western of Bengal 0 11 0 Norfolk Extena. to Norwich and Brandon 2 5 0 Boston, Newark, and Sheffield 0 17 0 An important sale of furs and skins has been com menced this morning at the Hudson's Bay Company's House. A system of exclusiveness appears to belong to the Corporation —most of the lots were bought in. There were very nearly 40,000 skins and Furs offered for sale. The state of the United States money market is thus described:—" The money market is quiet, without on the one hand any large demand for purposes of busi ness, or on the other a disposition by banks and private capitalists to loan freely. The Government have not yet, as far as known, made any issue of Treasury notes, and the impression seems to prevail that the determination at present is to exhaust the balances in the banks before putting any in circulation. Whether they will be as readily absorbed when it is un derstood that the Government has no other means of paying, as they would be now while it is optional to pay Treasury notes or money, may admit of a question. " It is quite certain, however, that unless the expenditures of the war have been greatly ex aggerated, not only must the issue of Treasury notes be resorted to, but the amount authorised will be exhausted before the assembling of Congress can give authority for additional issues. We look upon this as highly probable, whether the war ceases or not. The receipts from customs prior to the Ist of December can • not be expected to be large, as all merchandise upon which the duties is reduced and which is not wanted for sale before that time will undoubtedly be warehoused. It will not surprise us if the Secretary of the Treasury should be compelled to issue the Treasury notes from the commencement at the full rate of interest, or, if the war continues, that they should fall in value so as to prevent their issue in conformity with law, and em barrass still further the financial operations of the Go- vernment." The Consol market has been rather heavy to-day. The price for the Account is now at 96f, and for imme diate transfer, 96. Bank Stock is heavy at 2084-. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has just been quoted at 21s. premium. In Mexican and Portuguese Bonds a great deal of business has been transacted to-day, in the former at 261 to 4, and in the latter at 45 to 46. Brazilian Five per Cents. are at 89i.
