NIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAT. .. 14 minutes after 1 I Evening .. 35 minutes after I. £flirnngA'"Ant3 LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1845. have a few corps of yeomanry cavalry, some div;sions of old Chelsea pensioners, a body of police fully occupied in preserving order in the capital, with occasional con stables in county districts not sufficient to guard life and property; but we have no militia, no volunteers, no military body, in fact, whatever, except the standing army, that could at first make a stand against disciplined troops and. save the country from some great disgrace and calamity. The troops in Ireland cannot be spared ; Canada and the other American pro vinces are not half garrisoned under existing circum stances ; and, for aught we know, the affairs of the Punjaub may yet require agdional reinforcements. The Minister, therefore, has no choice but to raise a strong body or troops, capable to guard Great Britain and Ireland, and dispense, if necessary, with the presence of the whole of the standing army. He has plenty of money ; the surplus caused by the ample proceeds of the income and property-tax will furnish means for supply ing the necessary expenses ; and, should the in terests of the country, the maintenance of her inde pendence, and the assertion of her rights, require more, the people of this country will neither be backward nor stingy in such a cause. Let them only compare the situation of England with that of our nearest neigh bour. In France there are a million of armed men, pro perly drilled and accustomed to the art of war, con stantly residing on the soil, and ready either to repel aggressions or supply the place of the regular troops when the interests or warlike policy of the Government may require their services in other quarters. Besides these, there is a standing army of 400,000 men, more than four times the numbtr that England can muster for in finitely more multifarious duties than France can be called upon to perform. To supply their place we have no force whatever entitled to the name, and should a war with America, or any other great power, break out, the defence of the country must be left to raw levies, without experience in the military art, without discipline, and enervated by the repose of a long peace. Besides, the militia regiments have ever been found the best source of supply for the regular army, and during the war the glory acquired by British arms was mainly owing to their excellent training, their good character, and not a little also to their physical strength. Com plaints, too, prevail, that the surplus population cannot get employment, and that able-bodied farm labourers are compelled to submit to the horrors of a workhouse. Any condition is preferable to parish relief and parish imprisonment, and if employment can be obtained in such a legitimate and just cause as national defence, and in the assertion of rights essential to our existence as a people, Sir ROBERT PEEL will fail in the most important of ministerial duties if he de lays for One session more the accomplishment of a mea sure so imperiously called for, and so ardently desired by every one thoroughly acquainted with the utterly defenceless state of these islands. We have received Madrid journals of the 20th inst., which are occupied chiefly with details of the late royal fac, and the grand ball given by General NAaYAEZ to celebrate the event. The QUEEN, her sister, and the QUEEN-MOTHER, were present. Her MAJESTY danced first with NA_RVAEZ, and next with the French Ambas sador, and from all accounts the spectacle was very superb. No general amnesty had been published, but several persons confined for other than political crimes had been set at liberty on the occasion. The disappoint ment caused by these circumstances was adverted to in some of the journals, and in language which shows that NARVAEZ still allows the press great latitude. We give the following from the Clamor Publico as a specimen : " Console yourselves, unfortuates, upon whom has fallen the torment of usurpation, General Narvaez is a grandee of Spain ! Console yourselves, unfortunates, who pine in dun geons, without even being made acquainted with the cause of your arrest, General Narvaez is Duke of Valencia! Console yourselves, prisoners and exiles of all classes, console your selves, you overburthened tax-payers, General Narvaez has received a fine title, exempt from all taxes and obligations! Is not this a national recompense to convey joy to the hearts of the people at large? Where is the unfortunate who will not find in this announcement a new and powerful source of consolation ? It is thus that a handful of ambitious men celebrate the fete of the Queen of Spain! Everything for a dozen of intriguants—nothing for a suffering nation. Whilst a laborious and active nation is wearing out in slow agony, behold these decorated courtiers rolling through the streets in gilded equipages, and wasting in a night of enjoyment and pleasure what would give relief to an entire province! Rejoice, ye people! Set up shouts of gladness; your country is saved, for General Narvaez is Duke of Valencia and a grandee of Spain !" On the Bourse the Three per Cents. were done at 36 for 30 days. The Fives not quoted. Exchange on London, 37k. The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock and share market are very gloomy. From the opening to the close of the Bourse there was a continued fall in the prices of railway shares, all offering to sell without finding purchasers. The funds, too, were elected by the panic. The Three per Cents. fell about 20c., and the Fives 25c. Various causes are assigned—such as reports of three or four more brokers being in a dan gerous position, the threatening aspect of affairs between England and America, &c.; but when a panic once commences it generally goes on for some time from sheer ignorance and no real cause is required to give it additional impulse. Several of the journals continue their remarks on the Oregon question, and we are glad to find in a somewhat less partial spirit. M.l'l:fleas's journal has a long article on the subject, which only shows how little the real state of parties here is known by the political writers of Paris. That journal seems to infer that the advent of the old Tories to power is at hand, and that the nation would again submit to their rule, provided England could be fairly embroiled with America on the Oregon question. Nay, it even insinuates that the remnants of a broken faction would encourage a bloody war for party purposes, and that, for a time, they might be successful. These days are gone by. "The retire ment of Sir ROBERT PEEL," says that journal, " under present circumstances, would by no means surprise us. The result cf such a step would be naturally to bring back the pure Tories to power. Without setting up for prophets, we find it difficult to imagine that this frac tion could have more chance of success at present than seventeen years ago. The position of such a Ca• binet, in face cf an Opposition considerably increased, and of the Anti-Corn-law League—in presence of Ire• land agitated by famine and stirred up by old hatred— would not be easily tenable, and now, as before, the ephemeral trial of the ultra-Tories would only servo to precipitate the downfal of their doctrines. To prevent either the triumph of the Opposition, which has , placed itself so high in public opinion by the noble conduct which it has manifested in the late struggles in Parlia ment, or the formation of a coalition Ministry, uniting with a view to a reform judged necessary by all the Liberals and moderate Tories, the ultra-Tory Cabinet would have but one resource. It would recur to the expedient so often employed by unpopular govern ments, or by ministers preferring power to the good of their country—they could throw England into a great war, and the Oregon question, which becom es more en venomed every day, would furnish them an admirable op portunity. There are some persons in England, it is said, who would net recoil from this extremity, and regard without fear such a perspective. It cannot be dissem bled that the opportunity would be well chosen, and a war with the United States would not be displeasing at first view to the English nation. This may be supposed from the wild applause which greeted Sir R. PEEL'S words when, at the commencement of the year, he de clared that if the just rights of England were slighted, he should know how to use force to make them re spected. The English pride was deeply wounded by the result of the war of 1812, and by the manner in which the United States, and the press of the continent, spoke of the matter. Since that period, the upper classes have always nourished the idea of recommencing the struggle, and of giving, according to the popular phrase in kEngland, a good lesson to Jonathan. The national feeling would, on the occasion, come to the aid of the Ministry. Besides, the self-love of England is involved in the matter. Since this question of the Ore gon has been mooted England has always lost ground, and each of her concessions has been immediately turned against her. The United States now refuse the arrange ment which they themselves offered several times, and which England had declined. England eight or ten months back made a warlike demonstration. At pre sent the United States contest her rights altogether to the Oregon, after having acknowledged these rights by thirty years' negotiation. At present Mr. POLK an nounces his intention of persevering in a conduct which, in the opinion of Sir ROBERT PEEL, was equivalent to a declaration of war. It appears, therefore, difficult for England to avoid a shameful humiliation, otherwise than by having recourse to arms." It adds in another place : " Will not the party of the ultra-Tories, supposing that they should now arrive at power, be forced, in order to retain it, to appeal to the popular passions, and will not they prefer war to the ruin of the monopoly, which forms the strength of the aristocracy ? Whoever may be the men whom a modification in the Ministry ma y ra i se t o power, we think that, if the quarrel be not embittered beyond measure by unwise and useless provocations on the part of the American Government, they will look twice before they have recourse to this dangerous expe dient." The conclusion is very lame, and only shows that M. THIERS has formed no fixed opinion on the subject. Late intelligence has been received from Algiers, which gives rather a more favourable account of the state of the revolted provinces. According to the Moniteur Algerein., the different reports from Constantina announes that this province has remained an entire stranger to tho p,gi. An Ipswich journal, some days since, announced that contracts had been entered into with parties in that quarter for the supply of uniforms for 40,000 militia. We have known for some time that, in the neighbour hood of the metropolis, orders had been given and ac cepted for large quantities of military uniforms, though without the buttons or any distinguishing mark by which the use for which these equipments were intended could be ascertained ; and we believe it is admitted in most circles likely to be well informed, that the " militia papers" have been in readiness for some months, and that the embodiment of a strong corps of militia Only awaits the sanction of the QUEEN and Parliament. We rejoice to find such symp toms of activity, and steps taken for carrying, into effect measures become absolutely necessary, not only for the protection of these islands, but for putting our numerous colonies in a proper state of defence, and guarding our commercial interests in every part of the globe. For suc h importa n t purposes the strength of the regular army is totally inadequate. With the exception of the Indian troops, th e w h ole military force fit for service amounts to little more than 80,000 men, and with these England has to preserve order in Ireland, maintain numerous detachments in man u f acturing dis tricts, garrison some fifty or sixty colonies, and be at the same time prepared to meet exigen cies whick the jealousy or aggressions of her rivals may in a few months produce. We believe it would be impossible to point out any other great power, in any quarter of the world, where such a preposterous system of policy is allowed to exist, or where interests of such vast magnitude are le f t unprotected state. The navy has hitherto been the main salvation of the country ; it saved England from the invasion contemplated by BONAPARTE, and would save it again from any similar attempt ; but, when we look to its dwindled state compared with what it was in bygone days, the small number of seamen actually em ployed, and the time that would be required to equip and man fleets suited to a great emergency, to gether with the totally defenceless state of the country, it is impossible not to be struck w ith won d er an d astonishment at the long-continued apathy of different Governments, and with fear for the destruction of life and property by means which steam has now put into t h e hands of those that might be the aggressors. We TRE StN , LONDON`, SATUR DAV MORN] tations tr3ich have taken place in the other subdivisions. All the accounts concur in stating that there is no pros pect of an interruption of tranquillity. The Kabyles in the environs of Gigelly are very calm, and it appears probable that they will remain so. The following curious piece of intelligence from Macao appears in the Presse " We receive from Macao a letter, dated Sept. 30, which informs us of an almost incredible fact, but which our cor respondent assures us to be true. Since France has had a consul at Canton, the French flag has always floated before the European factories, on the same line as those of England, Holland, and America. Formerly this flag was the only sign that reminded the Chinese of there being in the west a grand nation called France. Since the treaty concluded by M. de Lagrene, it is a pledge of peace and alliance, the consecra tion of the rights which placed us on an equality with the English and Americans. It was, therefore, most important to maintain this emblem of French power. Well, scarcely had our plenipotentiary quitted Canton, after the treaty had been concluded, when M. Lefebvre de Becourt, head of the consulate in that country, decided, of his own authority, that the tri-coloured flag ought not any longer to float on the Chinese territory. And for what reason? Because the Government does not pay the rent of M. Le febvre at Canton, and, in consequence, because that gentle man, not having any residence in the factory called French, would be obliged to hire for a hundred francs a-year the ground in which the flag• staff was placed for half a century ! This conduct is the more shameful, inasmuch as the Consu late of Canton is one of the best paid of all, receiving not less than 40,000 f. a-year. Out of that amount, M. Lefebvre de Becourt could not find the paltry sum just named! In truth, it is not to be believed ! And yet nothing is more true. The English, the Americans, and the Chinese, have been stupified at thus meanness of the French Consul, who, to save a few piasters, judged fit to take down the official symbol of his nation. Besides, this functionary, who ought from his official position to reside at Canton, inhabits Macao,where he is not recognised, and where he cannot render any service." This convention is limited to the land frontiers of the five classes, and comes into operation on the Ist of December. PESTENBURGII, Nov. 13.—1 n the night of the 11th of November, after a north-east wind, which had blown fir some days, the first drift ice appeared in the Newa, and yesterday morning it came down in such quantities that it was necessary to take up all moveable bridges. Yesterday at noon, with a south-west wind, the channel near Wassily Ostroro was nearly quite free, and the com munication by means of boats nowhere impeded. The arm of the Newa flowing on the Wiburg side is full of flakes of ice, and the Little Newa above the Tutschkow bridge was covered with ice in its whole breadth at eleven o'clock. The steamer which left for Cronstadt on the 11th of November was obliged to put back on account of the ice. Drifting ice was seen in Cronstadt Harbour on the 3d November.—Borsenhalle, Nov. 22. The German word tonne means both ton and barrel. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. We subjoin some additional extracts from the papers: " A Toulon letter announces the arrival there of Soliman Pacha (Colonel Selves), Major-General of the Egyptian army, on the 20th, from Genon, and his having taken apart ments for Ibrahim Pacha and his suite, expected to arrive shortly in the steam-frigate Nile. Orders have been re ceived by the port and municipal authorities to pay the Pacha all the honours due to his rank. The 3d Marines will form a double line for him to pass from the landing-place through the Arsenal, and the 19th of the line will pay him the same respect through the town to his residence. The Marquis de Lavalette, as Envoy from the Government, ar rived at Toulon from Paris on the 20th. " A letter from Vienna of the 19th states that great pre parations were being made there fur the reception of the Em peror of Russia. We have received, by the packet-ship Independence, New York advises of tlye 7th instant inclu%ive, with ac counts from Canada one day later than those by the Great Western.

The following account of the state of the wine crops of France this year is taken from the Indicateur de Begiers. PARIS.—Crop moderate in quantity, bad in quality. The first wines which have arrived needed to be strengthened with brandy; it is supposed that this will be generally the case with the white wines of lower Burgundy and the banks of the Loire, which are detestable. This circumstance, which we anticipated in one of our preceding numbers, will absorb an incalculable quantity of 3s. Gd. brandy, which was not reckoned upon. CDAMPAGNE.—Crop very mean in quantity, quality pitiable. .ALSACE AND LORRAINE.—CrOp nearly nought ; the little made detestable. A total failure of prune brandy, a pro duct usually very considerable, and which was important last year. BURGUNDY.—Excepting some spots in which the quan tity is palpable, the result bad ; general quantity very mid dling less than last year; quality generally bad, some emus only passable. ORLEANS AND THE BANKS OF THE LOIRE TO NANTES.— General quantity less by a third than last year; quality very middling, especially of the white wines, which are, as in i3urgundy, acid, fiat, and green. They cannot be used, nor can the red wines, unless fortified by other wine or brandy. SAINTONGE AND DEUX-CHARENTES.—Very bad crop in every respect ; quantity upwards of two• thirds less than the last, which was very middling ; qualinl,7 pitiable ; ten casks of wine necessary to produce tr... 4 of brandy twenty three proof. GIRONDE.—Bad crop in general ; quantity a quarter or a third less than last year's modicum ; indifferent qualities in the good exposures ; detestable in Vae less good, which will require as an indispensable necessity the wines of the south to be potable. The pretensions of proprietors so exorbitant, that all buyers have been scared away. LE PAYS and LE MARmAuDms usually produce 20,000 pipes of brandy. They will only turn out 4,000 to 5,000 this year. Esr.—Le Beaujolais only has succeeded, and has conse quently attracted many buyers. Wines are on the rise, and proprietors will not sell. GEas.—Crop next to nothing in quantity, quality not potable. TOULOUSE AND viaNny.—Quantity middling and tole rably successful in some quarters. Some wine has already been sent to Bordeaux; price 17 to 18 francs per hectolitre, which is enormous for wine of such little alcoholic value. This circumstance will impose on the south (Provence) the onus of supplying the enormous consumption of this depart ment. PROVENCE.—Crop tolerably satisfactory in quantity and quality. Great demand ; excessively high pretensions of proprietors, who are aware of the necessities of the Algerian market, as well as those of the foreign markets and colonies, deprived, as they are this year, of Portuguese wines, which have almost totally failed. ROUSSILLON.—Crop passible as to quantity; quality sa tisfactory. The country has been crowded both before and since the vintage by an innumerable number of buyers from all parts. Extraordinary prices are paid, which still do not satisfy proprietors. We have gone through all the wine countries of France. It will be seen that for the most part the crops are miserable, averaging far less in quantity than last year. The quality, which is generally bad, will cause an enormous use of the southern wines and brandy. These are facts, and very serious they are. MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGIS TRATES. Yesterday a meeting of justices of Middlesex was held at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, for the transaction of county business. Mr. Pownall took the chair. The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The monthly reports of the visiting justices of the re spective county gaols were read. The ordinary information was communicated. The number of prisoners in the House of Correction was 909, of which number 605 were males, 286 females, and 18 children. The ASSISTANT JUDGE laid before the Court a correspond ence between himself and Secretary Sir James Graham, re lating to recommendations to Parkhurst prison. In reference to this subject, and to the existing criminal jurisprudence as respects juvenile offenders generally, an in teresting discussion took place. Mr. 'rum( opened the subject, and stated that he had re ceived an urgent remonstrance upon the insufficiency of the means for the reclamation of juvenile convicts, from a lady well known to them, namely, Miss Neave who had established an asylum for the reception of discha rge d juvenile criminals, in order to their reformation. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS expressed regret at the restricted sphere of operation which was allowed to the Parkhurst es tablishment, the instructions being that no cases should be sent there except such as would be entitled to transportation. He considered this a departure from the original intention in forming this establishment, and the consequence was that not one case in five hundred of common larcenies could now be sent there. The extent of the evil resulting from this regu lation might be judged from the fact that about one-third of those committed for larceny to that Court were children. Mr. LAURIE paid a warm tribute to the unostentatious benevolence of the lady who hal devoted herself for so many years to further the best interests of humanity. In France, holland. and generally on the Continent, establishments were provided expressly for that destitute class of juvenile offenders to which their attention had been drawn. The importance of the matter would be apparent when he stated that, out of 26,000 criminal committals in England and Wales last year, nearly one-half, or 47 per cent. of the whole, were between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, and if they took in the ages under fifteen it would amount to 75 per cent.—(Hear.) On a comparison of the two last five years the increase was very considerable. The feeling which existed against these unfortunate children on their discharge, after serving their term of imprisonment, rendered them more than ordinarily destitute, and the difficulty of working reformation was a common observation of society. He insisted that something should be done to supply the deficiency complained of. A very full bench of justices concurred generally in the importance of the subject, but no active measures were adopted. The other business was not of general interest. DUESTER CASTLE, A TALE OF THE GREAT RE BELLION.—The public may be congratulated on the appear ance of a new and powerful writer of historic fiction in the person of the author of " Peter Priggins," and other hu. morons works, which, in their particular line, approached so nearly to the writings of the late Theodore Hook, that they were for some time attributed to that popular author. It is also not the least curious coincidence as respects the writer of " Dunster Castle," that his celebrated predecessor, Horace Smith, the author of " Brambletye House," also commenced his literary career with works of humour and satire. Judging from the stirring scenes and striking characters in " Dunster Castle," it may be confidently predicted that its author will continue his new career with the same brilliant success as attended his eminent and more experienced contemporary. NEW NOVEL, EDITED EY MRS. GORE.—We are requested to state that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough street, has this day published " The Queen of Denmark," an Historical Novel, Edited by Mrs. Gore, in 3 vols., which can now be had at all the Libraries.

The Noble and Learned Baron, it is understood, has received a large accession of fortune by the demise of his brother, the late Sir W. W. Pepys, Bart. DEATHS OF Two CHILDREN By FIRE.—On Thurs. day night Mr. NV. Paine held two inquests at Guy's Hos pital, on the bodies of John Banner, aged two years, and Tamer Johnson, aged six. In the former case it appears that the parents of the deceased reside in Green. bank, St. Olive's, and on Monday forenoon last the child was at play with some other children in a room in which there was a fire, and in poking a piece of wood amongst the burning coals, his pinafore ignited, and he was shockingly burnt fore the fire could be extinguished. He was removed imme diately to the above hospital, where he expired on Tuesday. In the second case the deceased's parents have the care of chambers in Great Tower. street, City, and on Tuesday fore noon she was sitting before the fire when a burning coal flew out of the grate and into her lap, and ignited her pinafore. Her screams brought assistance, but the fire was not extin guished before she was d rea df u lly burnt. She was taken to the hospital, where she expired on Wednesday. Verdict in each cave, "Accidental death." FLANDERS MAIL. Butssitts, Nov. 26.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 22d inst., was 25f. 25c., and that of rye, 18f. 24c. It results from the above average prices, as well as from the laws of 31st July, 1834, and of 31st December, 1844, and from the proclamation dated that day, and the 11th of this month : _ 1. The exportation of wheat flour from the kingdom will be prohibited from the 2d of December next. That the ex portation of rye flour continues to be prohibited. The Minister of the Interior—seeing the laws of the 21st July, 1834, and the royal decree of 7th August, the same year; considering that the law of 24th Sept., last year, which prohibits the exportation of articles of food, has retained the regulations respecting flour asunder the law of 31st July ; seeing the prices on the regulatory markets made out and publisbed for four weeks from 10th to 15th, and from 17th to 22d November, 1845 ; considering that the price of the hectolitre of rye * has during those two weeks reached the rate of 24 francs—declares the exportation of wheat flour from the kingdom is prohibited. [* It seems that this should he wheat, rye not having even reached the price of 20 francs. ] This declaration which is tobe inserted in the official part of the Moniteur Beige, and to be addressed to the Minister of Finance for its execution, will take effect according to the law of 31st July, 1834, on the 2d of December next. Yesterday, in the opening of the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, the President communicated the King's answer to the address. The Minister of Finance presented the account of the state of the Treasury on the Ist of September last. The Chamber placed on the order of the day the projec of law relative to the entrepots. The Minister of Foreign Affairs presented a project of law relative to the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded with the United States on the 10th November, 1845. The Minister of Foreign Affairs presented a project of law for prolonging for three years the law concerning bounties to be given for the building of ships. Sir George Hamilton Seymour returned to Brussels yes terday, having arrived at Antwerp in the morning by the Princess Victoria steamer from London. The Jewish Reform Committee, sitting at Frankfort, at the head of which are Messrs. Goldschmidt, advocate; Creuser rach, professor; and Schwarszchild, physician; and to which all the eminent Jews of Germany have ad hered, has just taken an important resolution. It has de cided that the Jewish sabbath shall be kept on Sunday. The Committee has appointed divine service to be per formed on Sunday in the new Jewish temple in this city. The names of several Jewish preachers are mentioned as destined to take part in it. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Bartms, Nov. 26. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent ....

THE HAGUE, Nov. 25.—The sections of the Second Chamber of the States-General have been engaged, yesterday and to-day, in examining the projects of law relative to the elective franchise. In the sitting of tho Chamber yesterday, the central section brought up its report on the project of law rela tive to the augmentation of the budget of the current year for the increase of the civil pension fund. The discussion may be very shortly expected. The central section brought up its report on this pro ject of law. It objects to several parts of the project of law. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 25.—Yesterday evening the Ne therlands' Religious Tract Society celebrated the 25th anniversary of its foundation in the new church in this city. The assembly was unusually numerous. The accounts of the state of the Society was highly favour able. The Society consists of above 2,000 members. The list of tracts is more than 300. The Bible alma flack, the tracts and the reports, are more and more circulated. In the last year there were distributed, gratis, 176,033 tracts, 19,386 Bible almanacks, and 360 reports. In the twenty-five years since the formation of the society, there have been put in circulation 6,467,390 tracts, 686,036 almanacks, 231,521 reports, of which 2,756,445 tracts, 376,559 Bible almanacks, and 84,867 reports, were distributed gratis. DUTCD:PAPERS, Nov. 26.—The annual reports, fixing the price of corn in the several provinces of Sweden are now received, and it is a remarkable example of the extraordinary difference in the produce of this year's harvest, that in the southern province of Blekinge the ton* of rye is fixed at 20 rix•dollars, barley at 14, and oats at 9 ; whereas in the northern and highland of Temfland rye is only 12, and barley 7i rix-dollars. The conveyance of corn by a id o f s t eam -tugs is given gratis on all the lakes, rivers, and canals, and also the breaking of the ice for the same purpose, as long as it shall be practicable. A convention has been concluded with the Russian Government, by which the regulations rest eating prohibited articles shall be still strictly en forced. Corn and other provisions will be excepted, of which the inhabitants aro absolutely in want for their subsistence. Brsudy, 'however, is wholly excluded. G NOVEMBER 29, 1845. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, all to the trade, at 1 /yd. per lb. lower than the quotations of last week. The business consisted of 250 Egyptian, at 6cl. to 7 1 / 2 d.; 100 Pernams at 6d. to CAA, and the remainder American, at 3id. to 7d. per lb. The market is very flat. _ Shares coniinued in a very depressed state, prices being still lower than heretofore. Among the commercial items from New York to-day, by the Independence, we find the following : " The foreign trade of any country is generally looked upon as being an index of the prosperity of the people, and is consi dered evidence of the progress made in commercial matters. The extent of the imports into any country is considered evi dence of the wealth of the people of of that country, and the extent of the exports some evidence of the resources of that country. The foreign trade of every nation comprises but a small portion of its corn mei ei al movements, but the outlet large exportations give to the products of any country is sure to pro duce a favourable state of trade at home. We export about one-tenth part of the total agricultural products of the country, whereas we do not import a one-hundredth part of the amount of merchandise consumed in the country. The foreign trade of the United States at the present time, is not so large, in proportion to the population, as it was in the early years of the history of the country. The agricultural exports of the country are not so great, in proportion to the popula tion, as they were forty years ago. The incret:se in the ex portation of products of the soil from this country since 1800 has been confined principally to the supply of cotton." The Flour markets in all parts of the United States vs4se most active at the date of the present advices. The st)- merits of Flour for Great Britain were capon a most extensive scale, and the supplies from the interior were considerable. Prices, however, had advanced to such a point. that it was considered more than probable that the recent orders that had been received out would not be half exe cuted until further advices had been received out from Europe. There is nothing fresh in the present advices of importance connected with the Oregon question. The war party, how ever, was as rampant as ever, while all the respectable por tion of the public journals were more strongly in favour of peace. The continuation upon Consols amounts to from % to % per cent. For Money the price now is 94 1 , and for the Ac count 9518. The market is heavy. The pay-day on the Consular Account went off very well, and cash is said to have become more abundant. A good. deal has been done in Exchequer-bills this morning at pramiums varying from 235. to 255. Bank Stock has fallen from 254 to 203. India Stock opened at 260, and it is now at 262. In the Foreign Funds the prices are still drooping. Mexi can has receded from 29 1 4 to 281‘ ; Spanish from 28 to 27 1 /, ; the Three per Celts. to 37 , 7 ‘. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 58 1 ,4 .7i, and the Four per Cents. at 911. 2 .
