FOREIGN WOOL LEEDS FEB. 13.—1 n anticipation of the wool sales advertised to commence on the 19th inst. manufac turers generally po s tp one t h e i r purchases. Notwitlistanding, during the past week, a fair amount of business has been done. The tone of the market is decidedly firm, and the tendency of prices Upwards. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, FEB. 13.—Sales of combing wool• this week have been limited to a supply of the current requirements of the manufacturers, and prices are quoted the same as last week. In clothing wools we have not any change to report. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, FEB. 12.—The imports of wool daring the past week consist of 869 bags East India, 70 bags Gibraltar, and 6 bags Malta. The market is dull, with out change in price. BR•DFORD MARKET, FEZ. 12.—Wool—Little has been done in this branch of trade to-day, the downward state of the yarn trade causes spinners to act with great caution in low sorts; prices have a downward tendency. Nolls and brokers are in demand, and owing to the small quantity making prices are firm. Yarns—The export houses are net busy, and but for the active demand for Lancashire, a further curtailment of machinery would be the result. Prices are without change. Pieces—this day's sales seem to have been of a very limited character, and at most unsatisfactory prices ; we hear of looms being stopped to a large extent, and fear even a further quan tity will have to be idle before the production is equal to the demand. a.—YESTXRDAY. he close of the market: Lam'oton Primrose lss 3d Bell 3elmont ... 15s 3d Hetton Haswell l6s 6d Keepier Grange I,ambton Lumley Hetton Lyons lss Od Pensher Russell's Hetton Scarborough l4s 6d Stewart's 16s 3d Whitwell Shotton lss Od Shotten (unscreened) l3s 6d Cassop Denison l4s 6d Hartlepool . l6s 3d Howden iHeugh Hall 'South Hartlepool ;North Hartlepool l3s Od Brown's Deanery l4s 3d Seymour Tees ...... 143 6d Tees West Cornforth Cowpen Hartley DerwentwaterHartley 13s Od Hartley ...

Letters which have reached Paris from Constanti nople (says the Constitutionnel) announce that great irresolution reigns in the councils of the Ottoman Porte. It was generally expected in the Turkish capital that Reschid Pailoa would soon return to office. A letter from Constantinople of the 31st ult., says : —" The Greeks have succeeded in preventing the ratification of the arrangement respecting the holy places, and fearing new changes have exerted their influence to procure th e di smissal of Resc hid On the 28th ult., however, he was appointed Presi dent of the Council of State, in place of Rifaat-Pacha, who has been dismissed." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Snt,—Abuse enough—surely even more than enough, though all be damned for saying hold!—has now been hurled at the head of the Prince President of the French Republic, and in sufficiently scurrilous and offensive language, to satisfy the fondest lover of liberty or th e wildest hater of despotism. Let us then hope, now that the hurry and folly of our first moments of excitement and indignation are passing away , we may not be carried deeper into this stream of improper feelings, interference with the a ff a i rs of our neibours,. l ea ding, as it would seem to do in th e en d , to very angry actual hostilities. May our nation no w t a k e a calm and dispassionate view and of t of the position of the French people,he leader they have selected.it not to In order to do this, let us for a moment consider what were the avowed opinions of Louis Napoleon before he had any prospect of becoming the Chief of the French nation; and let us ask ourselves what reason or right we have to conclude or suspect even that his views and ideas are changed either from his own avill or from force of circumstances. If any of your readers, Sir, will give themselves the trouble of turning to a pamphlet entitled " lies Idees Na poleoniennes," they will find an answer for ell those who have taken it into their head to suppose that Louis Na poleon has the least wish t o become a great conqueror in war. His ambition is great, no doubt, to carry out the peaceful views of his uncle. exclaims, " mais h is n n'est pas mort,"—and rightly, therefore, do we ask what the nephew's opinions of that spirit may be. Hear his own words, and let us trouble him no more in his fancied " L'idee Napoleonienne " L'Empereur n'est plus!" he n'est point nue idee de guerre, mais une idee sociale, indus trielle, communiale, humanitaire. Si pour quelques hommes elle apparait toujours entouree de la toudre des combats, c'est qu'elle fut en effet trop long -temps enveloppis dans la fum e e a u canon et la paupiere des batailes. Mais aujourd 'bui les nuages se soot et on entrevoit a travers la glorie des armes, une glorie civile plus grands et plus durable. Hommes de la liberte, voile qui etes rejouis de la chute de Napoleon , votre erreur a ete funeste. Q u o d'annees s'essulerent encore, que de luttea et de sacrifices avant que , vous Napo leons 7 vows avait fait parvenir. Napoleon wrote to the King of England in 1805 "Le monde est asset grand pou r que nos deux nations puis. ez arrivees au point oil les t = vivre, yens de tout la raison consilier,assez de Puissance pour qu 'on treuve ai de p ar t d' au t re on en a la " La Paix est le mu demo n cceur.
