In consequence of several fresh arrivals, and the interest excited by the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, the com pany, notwithstanding the rain, was infinitely more nume rous than yesterday. As the result of the race alluded to has occasioned material changes in the Derby betting, a few remarks on it may not be unacceptable. The three favourites, Bentley, Viator, and Brother to Marpessa, were backed to a considerable amount, while Glencoe found little favour, as he was looked upon as the safest horse in the race. Tric Trac made running at a very moderate pace, Glencoe and Bentley next him, and Brother to Mar.. pessa in the rear ; nor was the speed mended till they got to the bushes, where, for the first time, it looked like racing. Its effect was immediately conclusive with Viator and Paris, who had nothing more to do with the race. Glencoe was the first to challenge Tric Trac ; Brother to Marpessa then went up, and as soon as they reached the cords Bentley joined them ; this lot, kept together till within a few strides of the chair, when Chifney (on Brother to Marpessa) made his usual rush and failed, as Glencoe had the race in hand, and won cleverly by a length. Bentley beat Tric Trac for the third place by about a length, there being the same dif ference between him and Brother to Marpessa. Brother to Kate (Mr. Mills's)was fifth, Paris sixtli.iand Viator last. The Three Hundred Sovs. Stakes was one of the most extraordinary races ever seen. Lucius, who was first fa vourite, coming in last (having pulled), and Baleine, the worst favourite, winning by at least seventy yards, there being a still greater space between the second and third, and full a quarter of a mile between the third and fourth. Pavis rode the winner. • KINGSTON HOUSE ROOMS.—WEIWESDAX NIGHT. ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. 5 to 4 agst Col. Peel's Rosalie 3 to 1 agst Mr. Nevill's Amadon 4 to 1 agst any other.

MONEY-MARKET.—It has been very cur rently reported this afternoon (Wednesday) at the Stock-Exchange, that the intention of Lord Althorp, in effecting the conversion of the 4 per Cents., is to offer to the holders, for every 1001. of that stock, 100/. stock in 3 per Cents. Reduced, and 1 ls. 6d. in Long Annuities, which are terminable in 1860. The effect of this proposal, as regards the stockholders and the Government, would be as follows : XlOO 3 per Cents. Reduced is now worth £9l 0 0 1 11s. 6d. Lon Annuity, ending January, 1860, at 171, is worth 9 16 11 • Total to be given for 100/. 4 p er C en t s . 100 16 11 The annual interest on -1001. Reduced is £3 0 0 Long Annuity.......... Consequently the G overnment would save 3 6d. per cent. per annum on the whol e amount of 3 11 6 the Cents., which, assuming that to be 11,000' 00131 4 per be about 47 , 0001 . per annum. As this plan however will ve r is not yet officially announced, any remarks on the tendency of it would be premature.— Times. A letter dated the Rhine, April 26, give s the following intelligence :—" By accounts from Berlin of the 21st, we learn that a change in the composition of the Ministry has actually been made there, in con sequence of which Her Von Rochow, Regency-Presi dent at Merseburgh, takes charge of the affairs of the Interior, in the place of Her Von Brenn, who is re moved to another department. The appointment of the new Minister gives much dissatisfaction to the Liberals. The judicial investigation respecting the late political seditions is still carried on at Berlin with great activity, and several persons have recently been arrested. It is expected that the Ministerial Congress at Vienna will continue to sit until June."

LO DON, THU SDAY f.. 7 'NEXINI. - ,. 31 ,Y 1, 1834. MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD' S MAGAZINE.-.-Pa r t I. The " Memoirs of M. de chateaubriand," of which a few desultory sketches are given in this number, will be read with much interest. The Viscount's preface is giver', entire. It: is a highly 'characteristic performance, eloquent, shaded with melancholy, and overflowing with egotism... There is hOWever, such a good-nature in the old man's g oss ip, such a: sustained elevation of sentiment, and such a perfect absence of all mean, selfish querulousness about him, that •it is impoSsible, to feel other Wise than amused with his*constant reiteration of self. In truth, the very magnificence of his egotism re deems it. Thus, if he commits a political blunder he assures us it is not his fault, but destiny' s . c‘ I have often failed in my designs, it was a failure of destiny !" Mark, too, the diverting self -compla cency of this passage : " Of all contemporary modern French authors, I am the only one whose life resembles his works ; traveller, soldier, poet, legist, it is in the woods that, I have sung of wo o d s , in vessels that I have described the sea, in camps that I have spoken of armies, in exile that I have learnt of exile, and in courts, in, affairs, in assembles, that I have studied princes, politics, laws, and history. .Tsorators of Giecce and Rome were involved in the public caus4 A velNrißok orits fate. In Idly and 'SPA', toikirffs . th - e — close of the middle age, the first genius of letters and the arts partici pated in the social movement. What stormy and splendid lives are those of Dante, of Tasso, of Camoens, of Ercilla, and Cervantes!" How slily and archly the Viscount here insinu ates a comparison between himself and the great Italian and Spanish writers—to say nothing of the celebrated names of Greece and Rome. It is a modest touch worthy of O'Doherty! The following remark is full of pathos : " I have had no repose but during the nine months that I slept in the bosom of my mother." The Viscount tells us that he has written much at sea. He is the only author, we believe, who ever penned a line in that predicament. Sea-sick ness and sentiment pair but badly as yoke-fellows. One qualm—but one little qualm—is quite enough to • drive a whole legion of tropes and meta phors from a man's brain. Our head spins round like a top at the very thought of such a diabolical visitation. We must make one more extract from these memoirs, for it is quite a picture painted by the hand of a master : " His father was a man of tall stature, of a physiognomy sombre and severe, imposing in all his manners, his step heavy, his voice solemn, his look stern. During the day, young Francois de Chateaubriand would rather make a long circuit than meet his father ; but on the fall of night the whole family assembled together in the half-deserted chateau, situated in the midst of woods, and far from all other habitation. In a vast hall they spent their evenings; the mother and the two youngest children sitting within the embrasure of the immense chimney, and the father, enveloped in his cloak, pacing the apartment backwards and forwards in silence. As this lord and master got more distant from the chimney corner, the conversation between the mother and the children became more animated ; as his footsteps sounded more distant, the children's voices became louder, but as the old Count returned from the door to the chimney, the conversation lowered ; and the more he advanced, the more the voices sank. Sometimes he would stop before ther i chimney, and not a whisper was heard ; but if by chance there were, his stern voice de manding " who speaks ?" produced again the most pro found stillness. Thus were the evenings spent in alternate chatter and silence. At eleven o'clock the old seigneur retired to his chamber ; then the mother and children would listen till they heard him walking above ; his footstep made the old floor groan ; as soon as all was silent, the mother, son, and daughter, uttered a cry of joy, and the two children began to play a thousand frolics, or amused themselves in telling ghost stories." " Cousin Nicholas" is agreeable in point of but somewhat tame and wordy in style. The anecdote of the gents in the pit of Drury-lane dragging out a pick-pocket to the nearest pump, is not true to life. No Pittite would ever make such a sacrifice to an abstract love of justice. He would have too much regard for his three shillings and sixpence. " Mi rabeau" is vigorously written, but we cannot agree with the writer's estimate of the great French de mocrat. If ever there was a scamp--a trimmer, faithless in all the social relations of life—a traitor to all parties who trusted him—false to his God— false to his King—false to the very faction which made him what he was—Mirabeau was that man. His eloquence has been most absurdly overrated. At the very best, it is but tinsel and clap trap, and as to his sagacity, where was it when he spent the last four months of his life in endeavouring to make atonement for what he had done the few months previously ? Then mark his utter absence of all dignity—of all real, unaffected magnanimity on his death-bed. Like a true frantic modern philosopher, he must needs call for voluptuous essences and perfumes, and die to the sound of soft music, like a melodramatist at the Coburg! Imagine our Fox, and Pitt, and Can ning indulging in such mean, shallow affectations at such a moment !—Playing the coxcomb on the brink of eternity ! Yielding up their mighty spirits, tickled and consoled in their last convulsive agonies by the tol-de-rol of " Maulbrooke" or the " Mar seilleise !" The very name of a tricky apostate like Mirabeau, should stink in the nostrils of every honest man. He was that most detestable of all creeping things—a dandy atheist. As to his elo quence, he has left no specimen of it superior to Sheridan's clap-traps, in Pizarro. Of the re maining articles we have merely space to say, that they are all of average merit. water between the. two antagonist powers of demo cracy and aristocracy. The " Palace of the Ma remma" is a charming poem, penned in the most polished, ivory style - of Mrs. Hemans. " Recol lections of Kean are amusing reading. We give an anecdote : Poor Kean, probably imagining that, with the multi tude, it might favour the fiction of his Etonian education, was prone to the quotation of classical commonplaces ; and a story told of H. Phillips (his secretary) shows how much this weakness was remarked by his associates. Kean was at some nocturnal vigil, and Phillips waiting for him, when this colloquy arose : Time, two in the morning. _ _ . . Phillips- 4 Waiter, what was Mr. Kean doing when you left the room?' Waiter- . --. 4 Playing the piano, sir, and singing.' Phillips—' Oh, come, he's all right, then.' .Quarter past two. - Phillips—' What's Mr. Kean dOing now ?' Waiter-- 4 Making a speech, sir, about Shakspeare.' - Phillips-L-4 He's gettintfirunk ; you'd better order the carriage.' Half-past two. Phillips -' Whati4e at now?' Waiter—' He's Whips Latin, Sir.' Phillips . -- 4 Then he' rs drunk. I must get him away.'" • FR4SER' S MAGAZINE. - • " Father Prisut" continues his amusing gossip in this nunrer. lie:furnishes us with minute ,Ileft*lS or a %is4aid by 'alter Scott •i-.the 4iailAtas to; the famous Blarney stone in the neighbourhood of Cork, and prefaces his account by some acute, critical remarks on the genius of the author of Waverley. The " Judgment of the FlOod" is a laudatory review of a powerful, and in parts, sub lime, but uniformly cumbrous and elaborate poem of that name. The " Fraser Papers for May" are as sprightly and flippant as usual. The " Gallery of Literary Characters" contains a portrait of the Editor of the Age—one of the most faithful like nesses we ever met with. PART 11. Bob Burke's Duel with Ensign Brady of the 48th," is—there is no mistaking the style—from the pen of O'Doherty. It is scarcely so good as his paper in last month's Blackwood, but, as Mercufio says of his wound, "it will do." The essay on the " Corn Law Question" gives many a happy hit at the political economists—those sages of one idea, and that a cracked one. We do not hold with its reasoning ; but it? is very clever, even though it af fects the statistic. " The Moral of Flowers" is elegantly and poetically written. " Poetry of Ebe nezer Elliott" is not in Professor Wilson's happiest manner. It lacks that hearty, con amore spirit which throws such a charm over every thing this ex traordinary man writes. "On Combinations" should be perused attentively by every member of the trades' unions, for it abounds in stern, plain-spoken a t s i r na u dn t a l a s , fa We f. u r as e 'They g e l v a a l r r t : eo we s s e e e hk un t n h o ' ov no ou N ts wc as s e i cs eloquen, hI Ao to g m u b pe r rn o e t fer, their prose or their verse.

The arti cles are not numerous ; but they are varied and each is good " after its kind." The first one, on the " Aristocracy of England," is perhaps the best ; it is temperate and dispassionate in its arguments, and is evidently intended to act as a sort of break- 'MONTHLY MAGAZINE. There is much, care shown in the getting up of this magazine. The papers are well selected, and are all short, so that they may be mastered within a reasonable period. The number before us is full of variety, and among the best articles we may mention the brief, pithy criticisms on Berungin and Victor Hugo, the piquant tale of the Boarding House, and the very picturesque Andalusian sketches. MONTHLY REPOSITORY. An Essay on that dullest and tritest of all topics, Political Economy, brings Miss Martineau again before. us in this number. There is not a single new idea in it,—not one that deserves the minutest fraction of a second to be wasted on it. The " Virritings and Genius of Caroline Bowles" is a paper of a far more agreeable, and even instructive, character. It pays a deserved tribute of respect to the genius of one of our best female authors—whose gentle and retiring nature has hitherto stood in the way of her popularity. Her poem of the " Dying Mother to her Infant" is one of the most beautiful and touching we ever read. It is worth a whole waggon-load of the bombastic religious poems with which the public has of late years been drenched —usque ad nauseam. We regret much that we have no space for extracts.

The article in this number which deserves the most - attention, and which, indeed- is its redeeming feature, is the " View of the Maritime Establish ments of France, Naval and Commercial," which, as a political economist would say, is full of facts. THE SHILLING MAGAZINE. This was originally " Cobbetes Magazine," but the word " Shilling," we suppose, has been found more euphonious and taking than the word " Cob bett !" Certainly the latter title conveys an idea of brass, and the readers of monthly periodicals might be led to imagine that a magazine which sells only for a few odd coppers cannot possibly be worth much. Now, the word " Shilling" at once does away with this impression, and doubtless, by enhancing the value, enhances also the respec tability of the Magazine. The number of this month is, on the whole, a clever one. But we have neither room nor leisure to go into details. The remainder of our Magazine notices we must defer to some leisure moment. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) COURTMARTIAL -WRIT OF PROHIBITION. Mr. Pricegentleman (we understood), a from the common-law bar, applied to be permitted, at his lordship's early convenience, to make a motion for a writ of prohi bition to issue from the law side of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR—This Court interferes by in junction, n ot prohibition. Mr. Price thought it right to state that he had applied to tne Court of King's Bench, and failed; and that he in tended to apply now, upon a varied case, to the peculiar jurisdiction of this Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Prohibition issues for de fault of jurisdiction, and to prevent an interference of one court with the jurisdiction and duty of another court, but it does not issue from this court at all. Mr. Price's complaint was for acting as a court in in this kingdom without there being a proper judge. It was the case of a courtmartial, and not like the eccle siastical cases that usually came before his lordship. The LORD CHANCELLOR—AII courtsmartial, what ever they assume to do, if they execute their sentence on their own authority, they do it at their own peril. Mr. Price was aware of that, but the remedy against the peril was sometimes worse than the disease, and most military gentlemen thought it better, rather than enter into squabbles in a court of justice, to submit to the decisions and conduct of courtsmartial, whatever those might be. Their motto seemed to be nil nisi armis. In the present instance, however, there was a disposition to act diffe rently, and the intended application would be to the equi table administration of justice blended into law. The LORD CHANCELLOR—This Court has no jurisdic tion to prohibit--it enjoins, but enjoins upon perfectly different grounds. It is not because it desires, or is afraid of the jurisdiction of other courts (which is the cause of a prohibition issuing) but because it is an unfit thing for another court to interfere pending a discussion here. How ever, I will hear your application, on the first day after term. IN RE TUBB, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. Mr. WRIGHT appeared on behalf of the lunatic, who prayed that he might have due notice of the execution of the commission, that it might be executed in Hungerford, and that his trustee, Mr. Williams, who had sued out the commission, might be ordered to advance to him 2001. for the purpose of ena bli ng hi m t o d e f en d th e procee di ng . Th e petition stated that th e suppose d l una ti c was en titled to . considerable property—that the trustee had at least 800/. cash in his hands belonging to that gentleman, and that he had omitted to pay him any thing since the latter end of 1832. Mr. GARRETT, counsel for Mr. Williams, denied that any clear sum remained at this moment in his client's hands of the supposed lunatic's money beyond 45/. Consideaable discussion took place upon the affidavits as to the state of the funds, when— The Loan CHANCELLOR said he had great doubts re specting Mr. Williams' statement of them. However, he would at present act according to precedent. He could not order the money to be paid, but no trustee, or man living, had a right to keep another man's funds from him, which were necessa r y f or hi m t o h ave , i n or d er t o d e f en d himself against being found insane. It was monstrous—Worse than monstrous, for a trustee to suppose that he could issue a commission against his cestui que trust, and keep that cestui que trust without the means of defending himself, ( PRICE 7D.) the trustee being the supposed lunatic's friend in his -own pocket ! The Court would direct the commission to be executed at Hungerford, in not less than a fortnight, and the suppos A lunatic to have eight days' notice of it, but not to be executed until the 45/. admitted to be in the hands of the trustee of his cestid que money was paid to him. Mr. GARRETT then observed that in that case the party -suing out the commission would be deprived of all means of prosecuting it. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I can't help that—he ought to have looked to that before. Is he to have the supposed lunatic's money, that:he may work a commission into it against that unfortunate gentleman, while the gentleman himself is to be deprived of all means of defence? I shall tell you further, that if the individual should be found a lunatic, Mr. WiHams will not be the person who will be appointed committee. Mr. GARRETT—No doubt, my lord, the master will appoint a proper person to be the committee. The LORD CuANcELLoa—Mr. Williams will not be that person. I shall further add, that I shall expect this commission to be executed. I shall not permit any tricks or contrivances to be practised here; if they are attempted, I shall know how to deal with them. Mr. WRIGHT did not believe the commission would be executed. It was admitted that if an opposition had been anticipated, it would not have been applied for;. • - The Loan CHANCELLOR—I shall attend to that, as far as costs go, I can assure you. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.—(THIS DAY.) THE SURREY THEATRE.—En'ING V. ()SEA Sir E, .applied • tttt.;•44*t=hfriPfer th , plaintiff for an order calling upon the defendant to produce and leave in the hands of his clerk in court certain books, papers, and writings admitted in his answer to be in his custody and power. The bill was originally filed for the specific performance of an agreement for a partnership with reference to the Surrey Theatre, founded upon cer tain letters which had passed between the plaintiff and de fendant. To that bill a demurrer was put in by the de fendant, and on its coming before the Court to be argued it was overruled. The defendant had put in his answer, admitting the books in question to be in his power, and the whole matter was right before the Court. That being the case, he (Sir E. Sugden) could not see upon what ground it was intended to oppose the common order he asked for. If he rightly understood the defendant's an swer, the ground on which he opposed the application was, that if the accounts and books were produced, they might expose him under the act of parliament to penalties. That might be the case, but Mr. Ewing, as his partner, would be equally liable to those penalties, and it would be rather hard upon him, under such circumstances, not to have an opportunity of seeing the papers he asked for. It had not . been shown that Mr. Osbaldiston would not be subject to the penalties he had stated, but he (Sir Edward Sugden) thought that if he continued putting forth the un righteous defence he had done to this suit, the act of parliament under which he said he was subject to those penalties would be more strictly interpreted than it had hitherto been with respect to him. , Mr. BEAMES reque'sted Sir Edward Sugden to read any passage in the defendant's answer admitting the partner ship. It was denied in toto. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN—That is the question to be tried. Mr. BEAMES-But you say there is a partnership, and that, therefore, you . are entitled to inspection of the books ; now if there is one rule free from all controversy it is this, that the court will never compel a discovery which exposes parties to pains and penalties. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—How came it that the Court compelled you to answer? Mr. BEAMES said that the allegations in the bill were not sufficient to show that the theatre required a license, and that therefore it was rather too much for the Court to assume that it did require it. Added to which the Court did not know where this theatre was situated. The learned counsel apprehended that the defendant could as well pro tect himself by answering as by plea against making an ex posure that would subject himself to pains and penalties, and in favour of that proposition cited the case of " Nelme v. Newton," which he contended was an authority against the application which he felt confident the Court would dismiss with costs. Mr. CARPENTER followed on the same side. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN replied, and His HONOUR give kis 's ent. He considered that the case which had been cites - did not at all come within the 1 principle of the present case, in which the defendant had laboured to prove that he was within the mischief contem plated by the statute, and had incurred the penalties of it. "under such circumstances, how could the production of the documents in -question by at 3'. ipssibility off.—t hioa„in a more serious degree than he admitted he was affected ? His Honour ordered the documents to be produced within a week. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY. (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, Ar az L 30. —Wind W. S.

This, again, we must take the liberty of calling an other and a daring misrepresentation by the secretary .of Lo dg e , 24. 1.1„, is.,,mu ful 44111,t,,through these , mazes of absurdity, or sornefliiiig7ifill nonoldrensivt- We are told, on the same high authority, that the pro- posed increase of wages, or what is tantamount to it, the proposed abridgment of working hours, will gives employment to one-sixth more hands during the four summer months, and to one-third more . during. the re mainder of the year. What is this but admitting that the consumers •of clothing are ,to be taxed for the' benefit of the trades' unions one-_sixth more in sum mer, and one-third more - ddring . eight months of the year, for- so much of the cost of. all their arti cles of wearing apparel as consists of the, journey man's wages? This may unquestionably be what the learned secretary deems a - q desideratum", for the combining journeymen • but to -- i.:. 4 it sounds much like a '! deprecatalum" for all - the rest of the community. And what must follow from such forced and unnatural aggravations of price in articles of ordinary clothing ? Why, that parliament will bo forced to favour by some new law, if necessary, the introduction of articles of that description from fo reign countries; and that French and German tailors will overrun England, measuring and taking orders 1 for half the well-dressed people in the kingdom, and . freighting hundreds of foreign ships with cargoes of 1 ready-made apparel. Is this, then, the consumma tion aimed at by lodge 25 and Co. ? If so, they are but sorry speculators. We wish we had room for the letter of another correspondent who writes in a different and far better spirit. He well de- • scribes the motives of these union schemers for two among the laws which they are imposing on the trade. Their insisting on all work of every de scription being done " on the matters' premises," has for its object to deprive poor women of their bread, who have served many years to the business of making up waistcoats in their own apartments, by wnich many thousands of industrious females would be thrown upon their parishes ; and 2d, the rule ac cording to which all the journeymen are to congregate in the one workshop, instead of doing anything at their respective homes, is that they may exercise a more severe and searching surveillance over each other ; that the master's interest may be never too honestly consulted,. nor the duty of the journeymen performed with too much care ; and, above all, that the game of conspiracy, dictation, and defiance, may be played 1 with more success against the master, when a strong band of refractory unionists are assembled on a single spot. That a mixture of fraud and violence like this should long continue to prevail in an enlightened country is altogether impossible. It may and must be beaten at its own weapons. Suppose the higher and middle classes of customers combine with the master tradesmen for mutual protection and security, and act upon regulations skilfully drawn up for creating and - supporting a rival poiverfdlhat Of the predatory'consPi rators. How would the latter gentry relish. that species of opposition to their unlawful course ? Do they think it impracticable ? Do they think it im probable ? We can tell them it is neither. We have seen a well-considered plan for a permanent union of master tradesmen, not to operate by menace, intimida tion, or any particle of injustice (if it were, we should be the first to decry it, and to denounce its authors), but simply preservative of the fundamental principles of free trade, and protective of the rights and per sonal independence of indiviuuals among the indus trious classes, who may be assailed, as at present, by fierce and selfish persecution. Collateral to this is another plan, for engaging the customer in a defensive alliance with the tradesman. But it is not yet in a state to be publicly divulged. When we can do so with safety or advantage to the object, we shall willingly bring the matter under general consideration. The unionists, when their paroxysm of fever and delusion shall be dis solved, will judge who have been their most disin terested and discreet advisers.— Times. Sir Andrew Agnew's Sabbath Bill is lost by a ma jority of 161 to 125. The Scotch baronet is progres sing in the crab fashion. Last trial he was within six of his aim ; now he has 36 against him. The ab surdity, not to say glaring injustice and inequality at the bottom of nearly all his provisions, ought to have left him in a much smaller minority. It is really dis graceful to the age and country, that the notions with regard to the line of separation between legislation and the rule of conduct which individuals may pre scribe to themselves should be so very loose, as is evidenced by the speeches in favour of such a Sabba tarian bill. We trust we shall never be found to ad vocate persecution of any religious sect ; but neither do we feel disposed to allow ignorant expounders of Scripture, and Sciolists in all that regards ecclesias tical history, to cram their dogmas down the throats of others.—Morning Chronicle. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR APRIL. In the present state of the atmosphere an Agricul tural Report is merely the notice of a long-protracted, unfavourable season, of the continuance or periodical repetition of which we expressed an apprehension in our last. The easterly winds and night frosts still continue despite all the auguries that can be drawn from the phases of our lady the Moon, who very sel dom makes much scruple about deceiving those who place confidence in her. Notwithstanding every dis advantage, however, the usual routine of the season was observed, and all the various seeds were committed to to the soil, those on the heavy lands especially in a far better state than could have been expected , a n advan twaghiechleno'nvete derived m the th the dry, thin, and poor land. In some p arts the bar ley sowing has been late, and must extend to next other drought g p h ro t v said id ‘‘ injuriousdmonth for its completion. Of cou rse all the spring crops, though above ground , are backward , yet in t " o f much March, of expected; and , should a truly genial season appearance are to the full as healthy as could be rea sonablysucceed, may yet produce an ample return. The wheats on cold, heavy lands, are indeed much checked in their inordinate growth and discoloured ; but on war m soils they retain a freshness of green, indicating thus far no considerable damage, but the blooming season may be critical. The wheat market for a con siderable time has undergo ne very li tt l e var i at i on, an d the continental markets, accustomed to depend on the export to this country, are in a very stagnant state, the speculators b e i ng un d er t h e necess i ty o f h o ldi ng their stock for an opportunity of disposal here ; for, though their last crop was not equally productive With ours, they still possess a surplus which will be ready for any demand from hence, and which will generally prevent any considerable rise in our markets, though, after all, many calculators insist that our last crop was below an average. ----- LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 29. —We continue to have a very firm market for cotton, at very full prices.
