At one moment every one is talking of Koss - curt, or rushing into the streets to see biro pass by in a sort of triumphal procession. At another time the people are all run mad about the Ex. 1'11)1.4:ion. Then, again, we have seen the way in which a i l n"'stev ery one was ergrosse d f or r. while with the sub the Catholic Hierarchy, when Exeter Hall was nikilUly erowtled with. the ortbo:cx and the effigies of a7 :l" ea "' d in 2 . l and hi s su ff rager s were tossed, now they, into an occasional b on fi re .

The Anti- Corn-law League has again sprung into existence, and has already attained an active and vigorous strength. The sinews of war are not wanting. Within twenty-five minutes no less than 27,5001. was subscribed, or at the rate of 1,1001. per minute, or 18/. 6=. Bd. per second—an event, 'we believe, un paralleled in the history of any previous collection, for any purpose whatsoever, public or private. Among the donors were found fifteen persons, or firms, who put down 1,000/. each, and an equal number who gave half that amount. There were also numerous subscribers of 3001, 2501., 2001., 1501., 100/, 501.. &c. &c. This extraordinary proof of the wealth and liberality of the individuals assembled on the oc casion is the more wonderful when we consider that there was but little, if any, previous preparation, but that it was the result of the ardent .enthusiasm by , which one and all were animated in their unflinch ing resolutio❑ to oppose, by every legitimate means, the re-imposition of a corn-law, or any tax upon the food of the people, whether brought forward for the avowed purpose of revenue or protection. We say the " avowed purpose," for the effect and operation of the impost would be the same in either case. " The rose by any other name would smell as sweet." And it would not by any means reconcile the hard • working operative to a small loaf, and a deficiency of food for his children, were he informed that one penny out of every shilling extracted from his pocket went into the National Exchequer, while the remain ing elevenpence found its way into the pockets of the landowners, increasing their rents, and putting an artificial value upon their estates. _ . As an unequivocal and incontrovertible proof that the ancient spirit has not in any way abated, we hail the resuscitation of the " League" with joy. Could there for a moment be any doubt as to the feelings of the community, or of the result of the appeal to the country, whenever it may come, that doubt would be removed by " the great fact." It will also materially influence the forthcoming elections, more especially if it observe the same strict neutrality on a 1 1 political ques ti ons save th a t o f fr e e t ra d e , which had ever s i gnalised its predecessor. By so doing it will gain th e support of men of every shade and variety o f political opinion, who, however they may differ on other that points, are at least united in their de termination they d will ne ve r ag ai n pay tribute to any cla ss or body of their fellow-subjects.

He wants to control opinion, to GARNIER. Aware of all these very serious, prevent the freedom of thought.

The worst despotism that partment. Already we have referred to the whole- aver ground a nation to the dust could do nothing some advice tendered by Sir CHARLES NAPIER, the worse, or more indefensible.

We fully acknowledge let us not be wholly unprepared. That is the Mr. COBDEN'S great talents and the important ser gist of Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S argument, and it is vices he has heretofore rendered to the cause, but an expression of the sentiments which should actuate still we should not suppose that the Free-traders will every patriot who has a due regard for the value of submit to his dictation on every point.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. With the exception of an article in the Assemblie Nationale, there is nothing of interest in the original columns of the Paris journals of this day. The article of the Assemblie is on the rumours that have been current of warlike intentions on the part of the French Government. Tnis journal says it receives with pleasure, and places full confidence in the as surances of the French Government, that it is ani mated by a sincere desire to maintain the peace of Europe, and will not think of war unless it be neces sary in defence of the honour and dignity of the country. France, says the Assemblee, has nothing to gain but everything to dread from a war of aggres sion on its side, and all that has been done during the present century to improve the condition of so ciety would be destroyed, for a war would neces sarily revive the spirit of revolution, and at the same time destroy all the institutions which are worth preserving, and prevent the establishment of others cslled for by the wants of the people and the progress of intelligence. The elections for the Seine finished on Monday. The Constitutionnel publishes the following list:-- Ist Electoral Circumscription—MM.

Veron, 21,371; Garnon, 603 ; de Lasterie, 56. These results must not be considered as positive until after the final examination. In the 4th and sth circumscriptions neither of the candidates appears to to have had the necessary majority to secure his election. A very slight error, however, made in the calculation of the blank bulletins will be sufficient to secure to M. Perret the necessary majority. It has been stated that M. CUCHEVAL-CLARIGNI", one of the editors of the Constitutionnel, had come forward at Valenciennes, in opposition to the Govern ment candidate. The Minister of the Interior, says ' the Presse, has thought proper to interfere, and the journals of Valenciennes have in consequence pub lished the following telegraphic despatch:— " The Minister of the interior to the Prefect of the Nord—The Constitutionnel has very inconsiderately supported the candidateship of M. Cucheval-Clarigny for Valenciennes; its articles aro contrary to the inten tions of the Government. Disavow the candidateship of M. Cacheval-Carigny, and warmly support that of M. Lemaire." This is no slight snub to the Constitutionnel, not withstanding that its director, Dr. VEaorr, has been allowed to be nominated for the ninth arrondisse ment of the city. Returns, favourable to the Government, have been received from the follohing places :—Bourge3, Dijon, Bl o is, Chateauroux, Nievre, Lisle, Valenciennes, Calais, Rouen, and Poitier. MM.

The nomination of Prince FREDERICK of Baden to the post of Regent of the Grand Ducby has been notified to the different Courts, with, however, the in timation that it is only provisional.

The Chamber decided that on ac count of the great quantity of business it has to get through the motion of M.

The session of 1852 will commence on the 4th o f M arc h. The resignation of M. DE FORESTO, the Minister of Grace and Justice, has been accepted, who is suc ceeded by M. GALVAGNO, the Minister of the Inte rior. The Chevalier PEENOTI DE MoNco is appointed to the - Interior, and the Count CAMILLO BANCO DE CARVOUR goes from the Navy Department to that of Finance. It has been announced that the Archbishop of 1301 DEAUX was to receive a cardinal's hat at the next promotion. A letter from Rome states that according to the desire expressed by the Prince PRESIDENT, a similar honour will be conferred on Monsiegneur Da Le Cu= D'AZOLETTE, Archbishop of Auch. The Parma Gazette of the 25th nit. publishes a decree, by which the Alberonian College of St. Laza rus, which was closed by a decree of the 26th of August, 1850, i s aga i n o p en ed, and entrusted to the F a thers of the Mi ss i on , w h o were deprived of the direction of that establishment by the same decree. The administration of the property of the college is also restored to the Fathers " on condition of the strict observa nce o f t h e rul es consented to by the Holy See, and a l rea d y commu nicated to the Superior General of the Missionaries and to the Bis ho p of PIACENZA." STATE OF TRADE. (From the illanchester Guardian of this day.) MA.NCHESTER, TUESDAY.—WO have to report not *merely tendency i n most descr i pt i ons . Spinners have been able a prevailing fi r mness in yarns, but an upward to obtain to-day at least the extreme quotations which were hardly attainable this day week ; and some kinds are positively higher than they were them by id. to id. per lb. Th ere are di ff erenc es between the accounts of the different sellers as to the amou nt of the da y' s business; some speaking of it as conside rable, othe r s as but moderat e . W e cons id er it as very fair, considering the extent to which the production is engaged for the next month or six weeks, and the consequent difficulty of placing orders. The home consumers pay the pre sent rates with more of hesitation, and for more limited quantities, than was the case before the advance of the last. fortnight. This is a consequ e nce of the worse position in which they are placed by the compara tively stationary condition of goods. The continental houses continue to operate fairly, although they are receiving bad accounts of the state of trade in ex tensive portions of Germany, consequent on the dear ness of provisions. In some parts there is a scarcity of work for the we a v er s . This is particularly the case in Saxony, where several thousand looms are known to be standing. We have still to report domestics as hang ing very much in the rear of yarns; yet, though dull, there are signs of rather more business in them. For various other goods an increased demand has arisen ; and, as the makers are a good deal under contract, ra ther higher prices are realised. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had the dullest flan nel market to-day that we have had for some months past. The wool market has been equally inactive, and prices stationary. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market for manu factured goods generally remains languid; the only ex ception is in a few fancy goods, which have been sold ' more freely the last few days. Thrown silks continue in request, at previous rates, which, however, do not re munerate the producer at the present prices of raw silks. Raw Si lk—The m ar k e t is very firm; a slight advance is maintained in Chinas since the public sales; in other sorts no alteration. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Very few goods, of any de scription, have changed hands in our piece-ball to-day; and the worsted trade generally is in an inanimate con dition. The demand for yarns continues: exceedingly languid, and the prices are ruinously low; but it is hoped that the limitation of production will check their downward tendency. The wool market is inactive, and some sorts are to be had on rather easier terms. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been an in creased demand for goods in our cloth-hall to-day. Several American buyers have been in the town, and have bought a few heavy parcels of goods, of dark pat terns, for the American markets. The fancy trade is , merchants o rd e ring rather more both for the continental and home firm, and about an average of the tfrraeedley. beginning tviro po t to Wools remain last few weeks has been done in them. EXTENSIVE FIRE. The most extensive conflagration that hes happened in or near the metropolis for a considerable period broke out last evening, shortly before e i g ht o ' c l oc k, a nd at midnight was far from being entirely extinguished. The property destroyed up to that time must, at a moderato calculation, am ount to , many thousand pounds. i The scene of this dsasttr was Osborne -street, White- chapel, at the rea r of wnich stood a building from 250 to 300 feet in leng th, of proportionate depth, and eight floors iu heigh t- . It was occupied by M ess rs. Th , irpe, wholesale Pitted and steiners, the different flours be dealers machinery, while the lower one was used as a stee m - engine house, &c. On one side ti . u p p e r with al v of the premises stood the extensive timberyard and stores belonging to Mr. Sykes ; on another sine and al most adjoining were the pattern-houses and iron-toundry b-longing to Messrs. S. and W. Standen. Angel-alley run at 0.. e extremity, and the houses in High-street, Whitechapel, flanked the building on the other side. Just as the various hands were l ea ving off work some one standing in the Swan Brewery-yard heard a cry of " Fire!" raised, and on lookin g t o th e portion of the premises which adjoined the yard, he saw flames curling round the wind ows on t h e t hi r d fl oo r, and a l most immediately afterwards a man and a boy rushed through one of the windows near, and gained the roof of one of the houses in the same yard. A ladder was quickly procured, and both wer e taken down in safety. One of those who bad left the premises then cried out that one cf the machine rooms had taken fire. Messengers were sent off for the aid of the police and firemen; before, however, any en gines arrived the flames shot through two or three of the windows. The first engine which arrived was thit belonging to Whitechapel parish, which was closely followed by others of the London Brigade from Wsllclose-squats , Jeffrey-square, Watling-street; the Weft of England, from the Waterloo-road station, and various others of the Brigade from more distant depots. An excellent supply of water was at on ce o bt a i ne d 'rom the fire mains, but in spite of the exertions of be firemen the fire continued to spread throu g h the four cuarters of the buildings, and in a short space of tine the whole structure presented one blazing mass. The walls on that side nearest Angel-alley have bulged to an alarming extent, and should they fall during the night they must force hi the roofs of the houses stand ing under them. As to the origin of the disaster, or whether any of the property consumed is insured or not, it was impossible to learn during the confusion which prevailed. LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.) Notwithstanding a ll t h e exert i ons of the firemen, the engines were kept up to four o'clock this morning, when all danger was at an end. At a rough estimate, the loss will amount to at least 10,0001. It is satisfactory to state that no persons were injured. Numerous robberiss were committed during the fire, but the police succeeded in apprehending some o f t h e thieves, among whom were manyjuveniles, and long known to the police force. SOUTH-EAS TERN ',R AILW AY.—Mr. Henry Rich, M.P., is a ca n did ate for a sea t i n the direction o f th e S out h- Eastern Railway, which will be filled up at the general meeting of the company, to be held to-morrow. Lord St. Leonard's has expressed a wish to be introduced int o t h e House o f L or d s by hi s di st i ngu i shed pre decessors 'in offi ce, L or d L yn dhurst a n d L or d B roug h am . The ceremony, we understand, will take place on Thursday morning, and their lordships will then proceed with the hearing of a Scotch appeal. We learn, however, that the intention to hear appeals from Scotland in a series has been for the present abandoned, and that during the session their Lordships will take the appeals, English, Irish, and Scotch, as they stand in the paper. THAMES TUNNEL COMPANY.—The annual meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at Ra - ley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars ; Mr. F. J- Woolaston in the chair.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on speculation. The market closed firmly, Ame rican at an advance of 1-16 d., all other descriptions being tight. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 120 Per cam and Maranham, at sifl. to 6d.; 70 Bahia, at 6d.; 100 Egyptian, at Bd. to 9d.; 1,500 Surat, at 31d to 41d.: and 50 Sea Island, at ls. Id. to ls. 4d. per lb.—The market for Railway Shares continued firm, and prices were generally advancing. Of the London markets Messrs. W. and J. report as follows : —The improved tone in the Foreign and Colo nial Produce Market has continued throughout the past month. and some of the leading articles have experienced a slight advance, which has, however, for the moment, somewhat checked business, particularly for export or ders. Importers have freely supplied the markets, but are firm in demanding full current rates. The deliveries both for export and home consumption show a consi derable increase as compared with last year; the im portations have, however, continued large, and the stocks generally are in excess of previous years. The reports from the continental Produce Markets are lately more favourable, and prices are firmer. The official accounts, relating to trade and navigation, have been made up for the month to Feb. 5. Among the imports, we notice the following articles as being most important : 1851. 1852. Animals, number ... ... 10.916 12,144 Wheat, qrs.... ... ... 328,550 125,605 Flour. ewts.... ... ... 411,979 192.102 Hemp 36 259 12,523 Flax „ ... ... ... 38,613 28,772 Potatoes „ ... „. ... 104.333 45,235 Meat 22,988 19,201 Cheese „ ... ... „. 23,166 17,966 Silk raw, lbs. ... ... ... 513 338 480.799 Brandy, proof gals. ... ... 251,918 305,126 Tea, lbs. ~, „„ „. 8,097,421 5,662.522 Tobacco „ ... ... ... 1,027 283 252.414 Wine gals. ... ... ~.. 364,919 228,558 From these figures an idea may be formed of the ba lance of trade and the amount of duties accruing, the four last items always yielding considerably towards the total. Tho exports of the month were as follows:- 1851 ... ... ~„ ... £4,817,870 1852 ... ... ... ... 4,821,781 Increase 3,911 This seems trifling, but we must take into considera tion that to February, 1850, the exports were only 4,069,4311. Cotton manufactures tell off, but woollen increased. The tonnage inwards of vessels engaged in the foreign trade amounted to 361,493 tons during the month, a de crease of about 5,000 tons compared with the like period of 1851, but entirely on the vessels of foreign countries, those under the English flag showing an in crease o f nearly 3,000 tons. The shippi n g employed in our coast ing trade still declines. Th e transactions in Bills of Exchange yesterday were at barely previous rates.

MARKET ZNE WS.-( THIS D CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNE SDAY c oasti The arrivals or English Wheat since MondaYt wise and by land carriage, having been limited, we b a a very small show of samples here to-day; nevertheless. the demand for all descriptions, as the attenda or buyers was on the decrease, ruled inactive, at barely equal to those obtained last week. For forward delivery very few transactions were reported. The j ai ' ports of foreign Wheat have been confined to 1,440 quite as quarters. Selected qualities were scarce, and dear. In other kinds very little business was transated. We had a steady, though not a brisk, inquiry for mail in g Barley, whilst grinding and distilling sorts were quite al dear. The Malt trade was dull, but no decline took P i t e l e i in prices. The transactions in Oats were liberal, 51 a currencies. The stock. held by dealers are considere small. Beans, Peas, and Indian Cora were held at lat° rates. Fine Flour was steady, but low country woks pr ices were rather difficult of disposal. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK ARRIVALS THIS wza...n. Flour. Wheat.
