'4' - tuning -)t LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1851. Nothing certain has as yet transpired with respect to the new Ministerial arrangements. It is known that Lord JOHN RUSSELL, thoroughly ashamed of the financial" SCHEME" propounded by his blundering colleague, which he could not have supported without irretrievably ruining his already damaged character, and perhaps in some degree irritated by the domi neering spirit of the " GREY" clique, and also by the manifest alienation of many of the most consistent Liberals, from whom he had heretofore received valuable assistance, bad cut the Gordian knot by his resignation in the h an d s of his SOVEREIGN. placing No other course was open to him if he decided to avoid an ignominious defeat on the Budget— a defeat which must have been productive of the most injurious consequences to the entire country, ' as g i v ing an apparent triumph. to the f r i ends and par tisans of commercial restrictions and selfish mono polies. With the existing Cabinet he cculo not hope to conduct the affairs of the nation with credit to him self or advantage to the community. Nor could he of his own authority dispense with the services ( ! ) of two at leac.l of the members of his Administration without the special sanction of her MAJEsrv. It is clear that this resolution on his part was 'nastily formed and as rapidly carried into execution. Several Ministers—the 'Marquis of LANS DOWNE and Earls CARLISLE and MlNTO—were absent from the Cabinet Council held on Friday, whose presence would unquestionably have been secured if a step of such vast importance had been previously contemplated. It must, therefore, have Sprung from the proceeding-, at that rcry Council, and probably arose from the undue pertinacity with yebieh the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his Emily PArtY insisted on retaining the "rREcZOuS BUDGET," and remaining deaf to the voice of public opinion. Nothing, however, was concluded at the audience with her MAJESTY which immediately fol lowed the seance of Ministers. An adjournment was accordingly asked for from the House of Com mons to afford time for further deliberation. On Saturday morning, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE ar rived from Bowood Park, and proceeded forthwith to Buckingham Palace ; Lord JOHN RussELL speedily was in attendance, and her MAJESTY granted a pro longed interview to the Ministerial leaders in the two branches of the Legislature. Immediately after their departure an urgent dispatch was forwarded to Lord STANLEY, who soon afterwards, at three o'clock, was admitted to an audience, which lasted more than an hour. This would appear to indicate that the Protectionist chief was consulted as to the possibility of his forming a Government, if he should be sufficiently daring to venture on the rash experiment. The organ of the party stoutly as serts that his Lordship was entrusted with full autho rity to form a Ministry, that he undertook the task, and that at this moment the commission remains in his hands. We suspect, however, that " the wish was father to the thought," and that the matter was not quite so clear as our Contemporary represents it. Scarcely had the Noble Lord left the Presence Cham ber, when her MAJESTY dispatched a second missive to him ; and shortly afterwards a note was forwarded to the Earl of ABERDEEN from Prince ALBERT, re questing his attendance at the Palace. It would appear as if the last-mentioned Peer was invited to discuss the possibility of a fusion with the more Liberal por tion of the Peel party, rather than to take any part himself in the new Cabinet. Lord JOHN shortly afterwards had a conference of two hours' duration with her MAJESTY. He had scarcely departed when a reply arrived from Lord STANLEY to her MAJESTY'S second communication, which was speedily followed by Lord ABERDEEN, who continued in consul tation with the Royal couple until midnight. Yesterday morning the Noble Earl had an interview with Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and afterwards, accompa nied by the Right Hon. Baronet, waited on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and at a later period of the day he visited Lord STANLEY, at his residence in St. James's square, and eventually spent some hours in the even ing at Buckingham Palace with her MAJESTY. Such is the real state of affairs, and we do not suppose that the public curiosity will be satisfied this evening by hearing of any definite arrangement being concluded. Meanwhile there is great anxiety among the subordinates of the different parties, and great ac tivity on the part of their leaders. Lord STANLEY has written to the Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE to Paris, while the Earl of CLARENDON has been sent fur to Ireland. We still, then, adhere to the opinion that we ex pressed on Saturday, that there will not be a total change, but merely a modification of the Ministry, which will be strengthened and re-animated by the infusion of new blood, and the removal of its decayed and withered branches. That Sir CHARLES WOOD retires into a private station is certai', and we believe that the mourners at his political obsequies will be few indeed. No man ever succeeded more completely in alienating the good opinion and forfeiting the respect of the community. He has erected monuments " more durable than brass" to his own incapacity, and he will afford another powerful illustration of the " little wisdom" with which the affairs of mighty nations are directed. With hiiia will depart his brother-in-law, Earl GREY, and it is by no means improbable that others will at the same time retire, in order to enable an amalgamation to be made of the li beral section of " Peelites" with Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord PALMERSTON, and the more efficient members of the late Cabinet. We cannot think that Lord STANLEY, impetuous as he is known to be, would venture on forming a Government which could not by a possibility survive many weeks. Any attempt to force a renewed corn-law on the people would be resisted to the uttermost, and might lead to re sults at which the Noble Lord himself would shudder. If, on the other hand, he acted with greater moderation, and regarding free-trade as a fait accompli, refused to bring ,forward any mea sure for the restoration of the restrictive policy, now happily obsolete, he would alienate many of his supporters, and ere long be denounced as a traitor by the indignant agriculturists. We believe that the " RUPERT of debate" will not encounter such an alternative. There is nothing, however, to prevent the fusion of parties to which we have alluded, and by which a really strong and efficient Government might be formed, that would carry out the important mea sures now in contemplation. Such a Ministry is desired by the country, and such a Ministry will, we believe, be formed. Oh for one hour of the departed statesman whose loss was so bitterly la mented in palaces and in cottages throughout the whole length and breadth of the land, who would with one touch of his genius have dissipated the confusion, and reduced the existing chaos to order and regularity ! Whatever may be thought by the more sanguine among the aspirants for Protection, in reference to the numbers who voted with them the other evening upon Mr. DISRAELI'S motion, the narrow majority remaining on that occasion to her MAJESTY'S Ministers was in no way attributable to any want of confidence in the wisdom of the free trade principles. The question in reality, although having nominal allusion to the urgency of agricultural distress, had no direct reference to the conflicting merits and demerits of the free trade and the protectionist policy. It was simply in the bearing the division might have upon the Government that so many Liberal representatives were told out into the same lobby with the Hon Gentleman the Member for the county of Buckingham. Otherwise the minority would never have swelled to such enormous dimensions. Of this the Country Party may rest assured, that with all the sympathy felt for the losses incurred of late by themselves, the people of England have no disposition whatever to revert even to the shadow of a revival of protection. We are perfectly aware that a preposterous opinion is just now being entertained in one quarter, that a resignation of Ministers would necessitate an appeal to the country, and that an appeal to the country would render inevitable a triumphant return of Mem bers representing the interests of agricultural mono poly. Never has there been in our recollection a more ridiculous illusion. Never were hopes so.besed upon aerial aspirations. " The wish," in this instance, is most obviously " father to the thought." Be cause Mr.Desßam gets, by hook or by crook, a body of supporters in the House of Commons, reduc ing the Ministerial majority.to a mininum of eighteen, his supporters are instantly possessed of a conviction that Lord STANLEY'S name must speedily figure in the Court Circular as a firmly-established Ad ministrator. The dreamers! As if the memory of the League was a myth ! As if the crowning act in the career of the late Prime Minister was a thing forgot ten! As if Lord Joan RUSSELL had never written a letter to the electors of London, Sir ROBERT PEEL had never opened the ports by an Order in Council, or RICnARD COBDEN had never spoken from the stage of Covent-garden Theatre, from the hustings of the North Riding, or in the well-known hall at Man chester! The sudden oblivion which would appear to have fallen over the minds of the agriculturists, in reference to these rather memorable occurrences, has in truth about it an aspect positively ludicrous. And all this simply because, from a disgust cherished for the present Cabinet, a considerable section of the Com mons was induced to vote for once with the forlorn and powerless Protectionists. Dissolve the Parliament now sitting, appeal to the country even in its present temper, excite an dee- ' tioueering fury throughout the United Kingdom by raising a cry in behalf of the suffering agriculturists, and you would still find the constituencies returning free -trade Members to the Imperial Legislature at Westminster. Upon the veracity of this prediction loubts may be entertained, but a fortnight might de ,nonstrate its correctness. Under any circumstances it can scarcely be imagined that the old and detested imposts formerly levied upon corn and other cereal importations would be revived after their having been once positively abolished. Attempt to inflict even an et= of that villanous burden again upon the oommunity, and the consequences would be soon visible in the outbreak of a revo lution. Never again can the food of the peo i ' -le be made to pay toll for the purpose of keeping up cur ariitocratic esiabliAmeate. Once opened to the atrocity of that system, the eyes of the multi tude can no longer be blinded by the sophistry of the monopolists. To adventure upon an experiment of the kind indicated would be the most perilous course any faction, perhaps, ever adventured upon—a course provoking all the fury of a nation roused to a con sciousness of attempted spoliation. Even, therefore, upo❑ the supposition that Lord STANLEY were called upon to fulfil the responsibilities of the First Lord of the Treasury, it would be frivolous to anticipate the revivification of the protectionist policy. Ameliorate the condition of the agriculturists the Ministers might do, and ought to do—but impose anew the abolished tax upon provisions they cannot, they dare not. So profoundly satisfied are we upon this point, that we view with a sort of indifference the fluctuations of the official baro meter, satisfied that any change which may rid the country of the GREY clique would be eminently advantageous to its interests, and beneficial to its constitution. To our thihking, it scarcely matters who may succeed to power, if we can but deny to the Earl of ABERDEEN the administration of Foreign Affairs, and to Sir CEIARLES WOOD the Chancellor ship of the Exchequer. With Lord PALMERSTON retained in one house at Downing-street, and Sir CHARLES WOOD bundled out of another, we shall be inspired with feelings of exultation. Indeed, a modi fied Cabinet, a Cabinet composed of the cream of the best parties, of the leaders of Liberalized Conserva tism and of Conservating Liberalism, would, of all things, be the best calculated to redound to the na tional credit, and to impart a wholesome stimulus to the national prosperity. Concessions made to the end that such may be effected permanently will be the most brilliant tokens of patriotism that can be afforded just now to the empire by its princi pal statesmen. Let them feel convinced upon this head, and good must inevitably result to the country, benefits flowing from the ve,ry dangers. of the present crisis, unity from its enmity, order from its confusion. The Bishops will have an admirable opportunity to-morrow of forwarding Mr. Locxx li - I:so's efforts to place our system on a more popular basis, by join ing, as rumour says they will join to a great extent, in opposing the Bill of the Earl of ST. GERMANS to legalize marriage with the sister of a deceased wife. When a member of their own Church and of their own House was interes:cd in the matter they passed a Bill unanimously o legalize his marriage. Now, when the Dissenters are unanimous in asking for relief, and thousands of the poor are proved to be in terested in the matter, we hear that some of them will affect to think that what was right in 1835 is wrong in 1851, and that Leviticus xviii., 18, which forbids such a marriage only during the life of the wife, is to be taken in a non-natural sense. If the Bishops persist in this course, and after en couraging all sorts of Popish practices among professed Protestants, seek now to do what is the worst part of Popery, enforce obsolete canons which are contrary to Scripture, they will do much to increase the exist ing feelirtg of exasperation at the way in which legis lation is conducted for the benefit of the rich at the expense of the poor. THE RIOT AT YARMOUTH. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) YARMOUTH, HALF-PAST TEN, A.M. For the present all is quiet; the soldiers are still in the town. Several of the rioters are about being exa mined before the magistrates this morning. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. On Friday, in the National Assembly, M. DE KER DREL presented the report of the committee, which had examined the proposition:of M. DESMARES tending to regulate the manner in which the election of the PRESIDENT of the Republic was to take place in 1852. The committee, M. DE KERDREL said, was of opinion that no necessity existed for taking the proposition into consideration, since it was evident that the elec tion in question must be effected according to the provisions of the Bill of May 31. There was a rumour spread on Saturday that it was the intention of the Bonapartists to proceed in grand procession to the Assembly, to present a petition praying for an increase in the dotatio❑ to the PnEst- DENT of the Republic. No such procession took place, nor was any such petition presented. The Patric has the following in relation to this rumour " Ju►t as we were going to press, we learn that there was in circulation, in the bulimic of Paris, a sort of manifesto drawn up with the avowed object of preparing for to-morrow a demonstration against the Assembly, and that this manifesto was attributed to the soi-disant friends of the Elyseo. We learn, at the same time, that the Government disavows energetically these proceed ings, against which it is reedy to take the most severe measures. We cannot too strongly warn the friends of order against these perfidious attempts, by means of which the enemies of the executive power hope, without doubt, to give a second edition of the affairs of Allah." The Pays, after quoting the paragraph of the Pairie, says : " To the information given by the Patric, we can add what has just reached us. It appears that agents of excitement have been sent to the different lccalities cf the banlieue. We could even give the name of the indi vidual who has been to Pontoise, and who figured in the Allais intrigue. We entertain a firm hope that the friends of order and of the President will not suffer themselves to be drawn into so pitiful a comedy." The same journal says that a grand review of the army of Paris will take place on the 24th, the anni versary of the revolution. The Minister of the Interior has forbidden the hold ings of a Republican banquet advertised for that day. The Ordre, which praises the letter of the Count DE CHAMBORD to M. BERRYER, proposes the Prince DE JOINVILLE as a candidate :or the Presidency of the Republic. We read in the Siiele :—" It is very natural that the fusion of the two branches should be everywhere the subject of commentaries. It is rumoured that the ex-Queen of the French, MARIE AMELIE, and the Princes of the house of Orleans, have sent letters of adhesion to the Count DE CHAMBORD, and are ready to share his perseverance to aid him to accomplish the undertaking of national restoration. The letters are said to have been sent to Paris, and read in grand ceremony in the house of one of the great personages of the party, the Marquis DE PASTORET. These details were reported in the Assembly. It was considered that the Orleans princes had acted, under the circumstances, more as princes than as French citizens. It was considered that they had abdicated a fine title against a very problematic chance. It was said that the impulsion and example came from the Duke DE NEMOURS. We know not if all these ru mours are well founded. But amongst the Members of the Assembly who are most disposed in favour of the amnesty, and of the abolition of all laws of pro scription, it was said the question becomes simpli fied—the Princes place themselves on one side—they prefer a title to the country; the citizens remain on the other—they prefer the country to royalty.' In these terms, and under these circumstances, the pro position of M. CRETON may be considered as an ad vance, or as an act of weakness by the Royalists, who are disposed to deceive themselves. The proposition is, then, compromised before the Assembly.' The Constitutionnel of yesterday announces the resignation of the English Ministry. The Evenement says,— ... . " We have just received a letter announcing to us the result of the prosecution against MM. Mint, 'toner, and Pellault, before the Court of Assizes of Nievre. It will be remembered that the cause of this proceeding was a publication in which these gentlemen protested against the treatment to which a representative, M. Malardier, had been subjected in the prison of Nevers. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and the three prisoners were acquitted. This decision was hailed with loud cries nf Vive la Ilepublique,' by the crowd assembled near the court." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, FEB. 22.

Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the 1 Jth inst. The Chamber of Deputies are engaged in the dis cussion of the electoral law, and an incident has oc curred which proves how completely the majority of the Assembly are the mere tools of the Minister. The Count of THOMAR had announced that the pro position was not a Ministerial measure, and the Members might vote as they chose. Accordingly several amendments, tending to make both deputies and representatives more independent of Govern ment, by excluding sundry placemen from the representation, were put and carried; whereupon TSIOMAR expressed his high displeasure, and sum moned the Deputies to reconsider the question, and in obedience to the commands of the Minister they at once voted against the propositions which they had supported sit the former z=ittivg. The leader of the Opposition was THOMAR'S brother, JOSE BERNARDO CABRAL. The QUEEN has completely recovered. The Government has laid before the Cortes, and the latter have approved, a project for a new gold coinage. In order to supply the deficiency of silver, the scarcity of which, notwitlitanding the recent prohibition (f its export, continues to be much felt, there are to be gold coins as low as the value of 1,000 reis, or about 4s.

A plenary sitting of the Conferences was to trio place at Dresden on the 236. Austria is exceedingly anxious to interfere in the affairs of Bosnia. The bankrupt empire waild find it exceedingly convenient to quarter a portion of her forces on Turkey. TURKEY AND EGYPT. The differences between Turkey and Egypt have been satisfactorily arranged. The rebels in Samos :have capitulated, and in Bosnia the insurrection is all but crushed. The insurgents were defeated on *the Oil in a pitched battle near Mostad, and the SULTAN'S trcopa entered that city. The insurgent leader, KAnAS PACiTA, with 200 of his men, surrendered near Gr‘lskou. The chiefs of the insurgents have fled. SWITZERLAND. The Paris Constitutionnel has the following : " A letter from Berne of the 18th instant informs us that the Federal Council has just issued a decree of a nature to put an end to the uneasiness felt at the resi dence of French refugees in places too near the frontier. They have been hitherto restricted to a distance of eight leagues, but this regulation was frequently eluded from the facilities of travelling in Switzerland, and the re fugees visited Geneva, and even Lausanne and Vevey. To put an end to this abuse they aro now interdicted by the Federal Council from residing in the cantons of Geneva, Vaud, Fribourg, Valais, Neufelia:el, and the Bernese Jura. It is also interdicted to the above-named cantons and to those of the Grisons and Tessin() to give an asylum to Italian refugees, and measures have been taken to enforce the execution of this prohibition. The above-named cantons will be allowed is receive German refugees. The num ber of refugees of sill nations who now find an asylum i❑ Switzerland is net so great as to be any real cause for alarm to the neighbouring states, since it has been re duced to less than 500, in consequence of the numerous expulsions, and the large sums which the Federal trea sury had expended in sending them to England end to the United States. These 500 refugees are distributed in the cantons according to their population, and. are subjected to the surveillance of the authorities. The chiefs of the German insurrections have long since beea expelled ; one only, named Barbo, a Baden lawyer, had succeeded in remaining in the canton of Bile-campagne under a false name; he has however just been discovered and arrested. Another, named d'E,ter, had, from different motives, obtained de lays, but they have both now quitted Switzerland. All that has been said about military organization of the refugees, their recruiting and deeeits of arms, is pure invention. It is pretended that Muzzini, who was last year expelled from Switzerland, has since returned there; all the search made after him had been hitherto without result. Switzerland has, since 1847, enjoyed the most perfect tranquillity, under the happy influence of her now constitution, and people abroad are too apt to forget her dignified and calm attitude when all was in a flame around her." The rumours of an armed intervention on the part of Austria still continue. The IVeser Zeitung says— " There seems to be no doubt that an armed inter vention is premeditated in Switzerland. The question is publicly spoken of in Ministerial and political circles in a manner not usual in Austria on questions of foreign policy. M. Steiger, the Swiss representative here, has received hints on the subject which cannot be mistaken. " The Ministerial, journals pourtray that little country, which every impartial observer must allow is the happiest frte republic of Europe, as a nest of revolutionists which threatens destruction to the rest of the worht. Submission on the part of the Swiss Contederistien is not desired. True to the Warsaw stipulatitts, and obedient to instructions from St. Petersburgh, Prince Schwarz nberg endeavours to drive matters toes bad a crisis as possible. It is the Czar's will that svtry head of the revolutionary Hydra —and he regards t witzerland as one—shall be trampled down under the heels of the military. Prince Schwar zenberg is a soldier—and, like a lucky gamester, is em boldened by the success that has attended his exploits. Nor must it be forgotten that Francis Joseph is nut twenty years of age, is warlike inclined, and thirsts for glory; that his young blood keeps time better with the bold plans of a military Premier, than with the cautious movements of an old diplo matist like Metternich or Fiequelmont, and be will not be deterred by the possibility of a rupture with France and England. Austria has taken Prussia in tow. Russia stands as a terrible reserve, and covers the rear. The minor States of Germany must dance to the Austrian drum;twhether they like it or not. It feels so confident in its',strength, that not only has it lost all fear of the detion of revolution, but endeavours to conjure it up to measure its strength with it. Switzer• land is a rt ady pretext. IL is annoyed that Switzerland took such prompt advantage of the European voice of 1848 and 1849, to change its old constitution for a better one, with which the great majority of the Swiss are satisfied. By getting up a quarrel wish the Con federacy, it hopes to reinstate the old constitution and the old Governments of the Sonderbund Cantons. A threat is issued at the came time against Piedmont, and a humiliation for France contrived. These are the ob jects towards el hich the Austro-Russian projects tend." ITALY. The Risorgimert(Rif Turin publishes a letter from Rome of the 12th,lAim which it would appear that the tri-coloured Betigal lights let off in that city on the 9th were much more numerous than could have been supposed from former accounts, several having been seen on the squares of St. Peter, Venice, and Farnese, and even in the court-yard of the palace of Mount Citorio. The POPE has dispensed with the French and Roman troops for the ;ward of his palace, and only retains the Swiss guard. A letter from Bologna of the 13th, in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that Marquis NrccuLo DI SCARANI has protested, in a most energetic manner, against the revocation of the communal func tionaries by the commission named for the purpose by the Papal Government. The Piedinantese Gazette of the 18th announces officially that the resignation of Count SICCARDI has been accepted, and tha he has been nained-Virst Pre sident of the Court of Appeal. On the 16th the King of SARDINIA. received M. CONSTANTIN MUSSURIJS, Envoy Extraordinary from the SULTAN, on a special mission. A letter from Trieste, of the 13th, says— " The difference which has arisen between our Go vernment and England on the subject of the consulship, has not yet been settled. Austria refuses to accord an exequatur to any consuls who do not reside iu a mari time town. A consul has already taken up his residence at Venice, but the English Government persists in main taining its consul at Milan. Mr. Dawkins, however, has declared that he was willing to establish his residence at Venice, but Austria will not allow even the slightest indication of an English consulship to be fuund at Milan." STATION FIAT OF THE ItAllmAys OF GREAT BRI TAIN.—Very recently a map of this character has been published by the Messrs. Smith and Ebbs, of Tower- bill, according to the original and ingenious design of Mr. Zachary Macaulay.. o„ up) i na i n dimensions a space of four feet four inches high, by three feet wide.

And we doubt not that Macaulay's Sta a lien Map Will very shortly wsume for itself a standard p os ition on ll the railways of the United Kingdom, OFFICIAL ANNouNCEHENTS.—The following reduc tions have been made in the expenses of the diplomatic service, to tak e e ff ect f rom the 6th of April next :—There are to be in future but two British Ministers abroad with the rank of Ambassador namely, a t Paris and Constantinople. The Paris emba ss y reduced ' from 10,0001. to 8,000/. a year. The Madrid is reduced from 6,0001. a year, and 550/. ission fur house rent, to 5,0007. a years and 700/. house ridnt. The Vienna mission is reduced from 9,0001. a year, and 9001. house rent, to 5,C001. a Ye ar, and 9001 . house rent. The Secretary of Legation of Vienna to have 5501, instead of OUO/., hitherto paid to the Secretary of the Embassy. These reductions, in a dditi on to the. abolition of the Consuls- General at Syria and Algiers, and other reductions, which, we have already announced in the e conSular department, will effect a considerable saving, in the expenses of the Foreign-office. APPOINTNIENrs.--W. D31.1g al Christie, Req., Con sul-General at the Mosquito Shore, is appointed Secretary of Legation in Switzerland. The c onsul•generalship at Alos quit° will probably be abolished. Mr. George Aiken, a resi dent merchant at that port, is a ppointed her Britannic Ma jesty's Consul at San Francisco, Ca lifornia. The Right Hon. Sir John Cam Ilobhouse, Bart., is created a Peer, by the title of Baron Broughton de Gyf ford, in the county of Wilts. NOVEL INDUCEMENT TO VISIT THE GREAT Ex- Illll7loll.—Anzious that his Yorkshire friends should make a respectable appearance at the World's Exhibition in Lon don, a tailor and clothier of Leeds is offering a new snit of clothes, and a railway ticket to Loudon and back, for 01 •' , payable by weekly instalments.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were es timated at 4,000 bales, of which 500 Arseric . an wet e taken on speculation. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 100 Peru= and Maranbam, at Bd. to 8 1 .1 d; 50 Bahia, at lid.; 100 Egyptian, at i 4d. to 811; and 250 Surat, at sd. to 50. per lb. The market was tame, but prices were without alteration.—Railway Shares were flat. The Corn trade is very heavy to-day, Wheat being ls. to 2s. higher. The accounts received from the United States report a somewhat more stringent condition of the Money Market, and it is stated, that the Wall-street Banks had unduly extended their loans upon stock, and that, although they made largo profits, they were not safely earned. It is further asserted that all classes have been unduly speculating. Perhaps a subject of more direct interest in England is the very altered report upon the Cotton crop, as witness the following portions of a letter from Mr. T. J. Stewart, a broker at New York, who labours indefatigable for the planting in terest—and in that sense may be said well to earn his mot sy : " The question of supply remains as before, with the exception that there are fewer competent authorities for 2,100,000 and 2,050,000 bales. The opinions of parties waver between 2,100,000 and 2,350,000 bales. Beyond the latter figure, there are but two parties south, whose views carry weight with their friends, and who in adhering to their minimum estimate of 2,500,000 bales, are universally conceded, even by them, to be guided more by their hopes than the developing facts. As one of the parties alluded to had argued eloquently last autumn, for a crop of at least 2,800,000, probably 2,900,000, and possibly 3 000,000 bales 'in the cards, based, it was supposed, on acreable ability of the Southern States to produce the staple spontaneously, t would not he fair to expect him to reduce his esti mate at this time, below the point which exhibits a pal pable blunder of a round half•million of bales. It is diffi cult to believe in any other than a short crop, from a careful review of the various severs disasters of the growing season, and the very early killing frost; and yet a highly esteemed correspondent at New Orleans urges upon my attention the following paragraph from a re cent,private circular to his correspondents:—' Our prices current of the 19th January, 1850, 3d February, 1849, and 19th February, 1848, show that half the crops at the respective dates had been received at the ports. The average of the previous seven years is the 6th February. If the price current of the 22d January had included the receipts to the latest dates, as usual, from Savannah and the Florida ports, the tabular teceipta would have been about 1,138,000 bales, which, on the assumption that half the crop had appeared, would give a total of 2,275,000 bales.' " The tonnage &c. of vessels arrived at Qugbec for the years specified V6'9B as under:— Vessels. Tons. Passengers. 1849 1850 Very interesting and favourable advises have come to hand from Mexico. The new Minister of Finane,, M. Payne, estimates the receipts at 12,000,000 dollars for the year, of which he applies 10,000,000 dolls. as follows :-3,000,000 dolls. to the payment of interest on the home and foreign debts, and 7,000,000 to the support of the Government; 2,000,060 dolls, is for sums due to some of the states. The exports and imports are esti mated at 40,000,000 dolls. annually. Six millions of dollars of the precious metals pass out annually by the Rio Grande; and the total produgstion of silver last year was estimated at 37,000,000 dolls., and 2,000,000 dolls. in gold. Under General Arista, the new President, a career of great prosperity is anticipated for Mexico. The estimate of the Finance Minister is upon very re liable data. San Francisco accounts of Jan. 1 state that the wea ther there *as very exhilarating and healthful towards the close of last year, and the cholera had ceased to scourge the inhabitants. Business was without any re markable activity, and prices were low generally, without much demand for goods. The mining still pro ceeds by slow degrees, but it is anticipated that the quartz-crushing machinery, which will be brought to operate during the spring campaign, will turn out very profitably. In anticipation of the West India mail we have also later news from the South Pecitic and Central America. The Pre iid.ntial election in Peru had resulted in the choice of General Ectienique. There arrived at Val paraiso in the year 1850, 1,465 merchant vessels of 412,240 tons. Of these, 422 were American, of 138,078 tons. The market for British goods was dull. From Ecuador we learn that the Nevos party had triumphed in the Presidential election. New Granada► was prospering, and Bolivia was tranquil. The English Stock Market has been rather firmer, and there is more doing fur present transfer. Still the political uncertainty existing causes speculative business to rule very quiet.
