Nothing positive haayet been done in the way of ter minating the Ministerial crisis in the French Repub lic. Overtures, it is true, are being made with cor diality to various eminent individual 3 in succession— the PRESIDENT evincing every readiness to conciliate the belligerent politicians, without, however, in any manner betraying a weak concesqon to their auda city. Little, of course, can be predicted with any confidence as to the mode in which Louis NAPOLEON Trill ultimately bring the crisis to a termination. So man y Prejudices have to be conquered, so many jea louaies have to be dissipated, so many differences of opinion hays to be reconciled before the conflicting ranks of the representatives can be brought to any thing like a state of tranquillity, that we shrink instinctively from anything at all sa vouring of an explicit vaticination. Until nOW a hollow friendship has been maintained between the Legislative and Executive authorities. Thanks to the ambitious arrogance Of CHANGAINIER, both par ties are at length placed on a true and substantial footing of mutual comprehension. Hitherto, again, the secret aspirants for a restoration, the traitors to Republicaniern, the conspirators of counter-revolution, have contrived to assume an imperturbable air of alle giance to democratic institutions. Thanks to the impassioned petulance of BERRTRR, the political masquerade has been flung aside in the heat and agi tation of debate. Before the opening of the recent dinussion, moreover, the latent enemies of the Prince-PEIBSIDhIIT, the intriguers who, while as suming towards him an aspect of gen erous and al most enthusiastic devotion, were really p lotting to bring about at the very earliest opportunity the downfall of th e repr ha d managed of the imperial dynasty, managed to hide their sinister designs under an ap pearance of satisfaction. Thanks to the constitu tional irritability and the systematised faithlessness of 'rinses, the animosity of this most despicable of I all factions t owards the nephew of the EMPBROR has been tardily, but unmistakably disclosed. In the passion of assailing the Chief Magistrate of 1 the Republic, the historian of the Consulate openly texed him with hypocrisy, and avowed that the occu pant of the Elygie was in reality (whatever his Pre sidential Messages might proclaim to the contrary) aspiring for the arrival of the day when the democracy ' _E SUN, would be forgotten in the splendours of an imperial coronation. As if to afford the most striking con tradiction to this calumny, the Prince LOUIS NAPO LEON forthwith desired the attendance at his palace of the most distinguished member of the Provisional Government, the hero of February, the statesman who of all men in France may be regarded as the most like the visible impersonation of Republicanism. Much curiosity has of course been excited by the lengthened interviews between Louis NAPOLEON and LAMARTIND. Rumours of all kinds have naturally been afloat in consequence; among which we have been assured very confidentially that, in answer to the application made to M. DE LAMARTINE by the PRESIDENT to the effect that he should undertake the construction of a Cabinet., the illustrious statesman replied that he could not undertake to do so upon any other condition than that a measure should at once be introduced for the revocation of the elec toral law—a proviso most comprehensible, coming as it does from the lips of the author of that memorable decree which gave to France the prerogatives of uni versal suffrage. 'While assuring the Prince that such must absolutely be the understanding arrived at be tween them, prior to the formation of any Ministry of the kind proposed,M. DE LAaaAUTINE, with a magnani mous self-abnegation singularly characteristic of his genius, acknowledged that to his mind nothing ,could by possibility be more impolitic than the selection of himself as the person to be en trusted at present with Ministerial responsibilities. His personal influence he confessed to be so strangely deteriorated on all hands in the Legislative Assembly that he could look for little sympathy either from the Right or the Left, from the Centre or the Mountain of the Legislature. The avowal, we say, was emi nently characteristic of the self-abnegation of LA-. MARTINE, and, at the same moment, was a sort of voluntary expiation for what some have regarded as his diseased vanity and his insatiable thirst for popu larity. Fallen from his lofty position as one of the most influential statesmen on the continent, deprived of that prestige which at one period invested him with the irresponsible authority of Dictatorship, LA MARTI3III has a patriotism so sound and impartial that •he comes forward spontaneously to advocate the interests of Lours NAPOLEON wben the Prince is being deserted by almost all of his pretended par. tisans, and a magnanimity so generous and compre hensive as to set aside the allurements of office rather than aid in any manner in multiplying present embarrassments. Meanwhile it should not be forgotten that the great statesman above alluded to has, throughout these transactions, had to deal with a man as noble in his temperament as himself, as patriotic in his ambition, and as magnanimous in his character. Since the period of his elevation to the supreme rank of Repub lican President, Louis Nes. oLisosi has shown himself in every way worthy of the respect of the nation by which he has been chosen as its chief magistrate. His acts have been most consis tently in accordance with his professions. His oaths have been preserved inviolably. His demeanour has in all respects been befitting the head of a great democracy, the elected of six millions of Freue . h- Without any affectation of eloquence or sententiousness, his speeches upon all public occasions have been conceived in th• happiest mood imaginable, sagacious in their style, moderate in their tendency, and dignified in their utterance. Many and various, however, as are the claims possessed by LOUIS NAPOLEON on our admi ration for his conduct during upwards of two years of his Presidency, not one incident as yet recorded of him throughout the whole of that period can be men tioned as at all comparable to his recent treatment of the Assembly and his noble and heroic reply to M. Duns?, its President. It will not be speedily lost to the general remembrance, that when M. DUPIN inti mated to LOUIS NAPOLEON the intention of the Assembly to surround itself with an army of 50,000 men, in the event of the dismissal of CHANGARNIER, the Prince replied in a tone of dignity and self-possession—" If the Assembly ventures upon that act of suspicion, I shall follow it up by an act of confidence ; if the Assembly sur rounds itself with an army of 60,000 men, I will dis miss even the sentinels of my palace, the citizens of the capital shall be my defenders, I will walk through the streets of Paris in plain clothes and without attendants !" Noble and chivalric language—language worthy of having fallen even from the lips of the EMPEROR. While such continues to be the policy of the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, he may set at open de- men. fiance the trickeries of THIERS, the treason of BER• RYER, and the arrogant ambition of CFIANGARNIHR, relying upon those generous impulses of the French character which create the national sympathy for whatever is heroic in its bearing or tendency. Especially may such be his reliance on the future, while among the list of the contemporary statesmen of the Republic can be recognised the name of such an one as the poet administrator, LAMARTINII. We had hoped that the theological portion of the marriages affinity question had been finally disposed of. The discussion had been already carried on both in and out of Parliament usque ad nauseam, and the stale and unfounded pretext of " a Scriptural prohi bition" had been long since formally abandoned by the most strenuous advocates for the continuance of the existing restriction. During the debates last session the case was argued simply on the point of " social inexpediency." It was really too absurd fur any per son possessing the slightest knowledge of the prin ciples relating to the correct interpretation of disputed passages to affirm that there was any prohibition, express or implied, against such connexions con tained in the Mosaic law. The lath chap ter of Leviticus is the portion of the Pentateuch chiefly relating to the subject —we say chiefly, because it is from it that the objectors endea vour to support their singularly distorted views. They rely on the 16th and liii verses. Some persons have had the folly and audacity to assert that the 18th verse contains a direct commandment on the sub ject. Never was there a greater piece of absur dity ; the text is, indeed, decisive, but it is a powerful and unequivocal authority on the other side, and conclusive as to the propriety of such marriages. It enacts a certain law for a limited period, and it gives the very reason why that provision is made. In that it differs from almost every other rule laid down in the code of laws deli vered by Moses to the Jewish nation. The rule, whatever it may be, is generally laid down broadly, but no cause is assigned to sa tisfy the people as to its policy or expediency. It is, however, different in the present instance. And we may easily believe that it appeared necessary to the inspired lawgiver to show why it is that he forbids a practice that had been adopted even by ISRAEL himself, the patriarch and founder, and common progenitor of the whole nation. " Neither shall thou take a wife to her sister to vex her - • , besides the other in her lifetime." Here there is the time during which the prohibition is continued, the lifetime of the first wife. A clearer permission to marry after that time could not be produced. If a penalty or civil disability were im posed upon a party during the existence of particular circumstances the moment these circumstances were changed the prohibition falls to the groun d , an d the party is remitted to his original and natuosl rights, whatever they might be. Be fore this law a party might marry his wife's sister at any period, for polygamy was sanctioned and tole rated. JACOB did so, and it was found to be incon venient and attended with evil ; therefore, in order to prevent similar annoyance, it was forbidden by the great great-grandson of that very JACOB, the de scendant of the neglected L E A", who might be supposed to have sympathised with the sufferings and heartburnings of his afflicted ances tress. " Neither shalt thou take a wile to her sister to vex h er ." If t h e fi rst wife were removed by death, if her worldly cares and sorrows had for ever termi nted, how could she " be vexed" by any subsequent act of her q uon d am partner? There is a legal maxim, the accuracy of which has never been impugned, which is conclusive on this point— " Ces.sat ratio, cessat l ex ." Wh en t h e cause fur which a law is enacted terminates, the law itself ceases also. Here the cause, the vexation of th e fi rs t w i fe, is re- . moved by her death, and therefore there is a virtual remove 1 of the prohibition founded, and this would be amply sufficient, even if there was not the subsequent limitation, "besides the other in her lifetime." Dr. rIJOST ) whose Traoterian followers—the LONDO ON traitors to the Church of which they profess to hs members—are the most violent opponents of the just and salutary measure of relief now before. the country, endeavours to show that another part of the same chapter has some bearing on the question. " The sixteenth verse," says the Reverend Doctor, " forbids a man to marry his deceased brother's wi dow, and, by parity of reason, it forbids him to marry his deceased wife's sister,—the marriages are both in cestous." Now we most distinctly and pof;itively deny that it forbids marriage with the brother's widow ; it applies only to an illicit connexion during the life-time of the brother. By the 25th Deuteronomy, v. 5, such a mar riage is expressly directed. If the first husband leave no children, the widow is forbidden to marry without unto a stranger. The husband's brother " shall take her to him to wilt-, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her ;" and there is a direct punishment to be inflicted on him, if he " like cot to take his brother's wife." The widow should spit in his face, and "loose his shoe from off his tow . ," and (v. 10) "his name shall be called in Israel the house of him that hath his shoe loosed." Is it no: ridiculous to say that there is a prohibition against that which is ex pressly commanded by another part of the same law ? The "parity of reason," therefore, falls to the ground, and with it the argument of the Rev. Dr. Pussy and his devoted admirers. We owe some apolity to our readers for touching on this point. The Rev. Pre bendary GRAY, Warden of Queen's College, Birmingham (aided and abetted by the Rev. Mr. MA.CKENZIE, of the Scotch Church), thought proper to revive it ; and although we might safely leave these gentlemen to our esteemed correspondent " ALFRED," who, in a letter which will be found in another part of this day's impression, has administered a well-merited castigation, which they, or either of them, will not speedily forget, we feel too deep an interest in the greatest question of civil and religious liberty yet unsettled, to pass the matter sub silentio. We trust that a reasoning and intelligent people will not again be mocked by having such wretched stuff, such effete bleating, addressed to their understandings as substantial. It is really too bad. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Ministerial crisis continues. The Ordre contains the following statement of what pas.ed between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and M. ODILoN BARROT during their interview on Tuesday : " M. Odilon Barrot had the honour to see the Presi dent of the Republic, and in a general conversation opened to him frankly and rebpect'ully the co❑ditions upon which he considered that a new Cabinet could uu- dertake to serve as a link between the executive and 1-gislstive p , ,wers, and to offer to both such equal security as would enable them to go on together in har mony that they might be ensbled to meet the difficult trials of 1852. Thte President of the Republic, without accepting or repelling in an express manner these dif ferent conditions, intimated to M. Barr(); his desire to see him undertake the formation of a Cabinet along with M. Billault, who had joined them at the clot;- of the conference. M. Barrot, with great respect, declined to be a party to such a c flabinittion." The following from the Patrie is the Bonapartist account of the same interview : " We have hitherto abstained from mentioning any name., although we were informed, as well as our con temporaries, of the steps which had been taken to bring the crisis to a termination. It is, however, useful that the country should be made acquainted with the over (tires which have been made by the President of the Republic to different influential persons, in order that it may know how far those personages have responded to the confidence which the chief of the state was disposed to grant them. We are assured that M. Odilon Barrot was yesterday seat ior to the Ely ika by the President of the Republic, who is said to have consulted him on the present state of affairs, and to have proposed to him to form a Cabinet. M. Odilon Barrot is said to have accepted the mission, but on two conditions, which consisted in the dismissal of M. Carlier from the post of Prefect of Police, and of General Baraguay d'Hilliers from that of Commandant in-Chief of the Army of Paris, and that he might replace them by men the choice of whom he reserved to himself in the most exclusive and absolute manner. These pretensions are said to have put an end to the in terview. We are convinced that the intentions of M. Odilon Barrot were perfectly sincere and honourable, but we cannot but deplore the perpetual blindness of the old leader of the dynastic opposition, which always leads towards revolutions without' perceiving the road which he takes towa,ds them, and without understanding that he is the dupe of the intrigues which are in agitation around him. If the President of the Republic bad ac cepted the conditions on which M. Odiloa Barrot would have taken office, would it not have been a repetition of the conduct of Rolland, who only arrived at power to sacrifice Louis XVI. and himselt with hire? Nothing is yet definitively settled; we nevertheless consider that a step has been taken towards a solution. The mission to torm a Cabinet was in the course of the morning proposed to M. Leon Faucher, who has ac cepted in" M. ',Box FAUCHER was engaged during the whole of Wednesday evening and Thursday morning in endeavouring to form a Ministry, and the following list was circulated on Wednesday evening : M. Leon Faucher—interior. M. Daru—Finances. M. Buffet—Public Instruction. M. Drouyn de ' , buys—Foreign Affairs. M. Prosper de Chasseloup Lsubat—Public Works. General d'Arbouville—War. Bauchart—Commerce. M. Lacrosse--Marine. It appears, however, that M. DARU refused to ac cept office, and so many other difficulties presented themselves that, on Thursday eve❑ing, M. LEON FAIJCUSR gave up the attempt, and the PRESIDENT would, it was said, endeavour to bring about an ODILON BARROT and LAAIARTINE ci , mbination, sacrificing to the former M. CARLIEIt, who is to be removed from the Prefecture of Police to some other post, and con senting, in order to conciliate the latter, to a repeal of the Electoral law. We read in th• Constitutionnel Several journals. being ill-informed, have an. nounced, like the Indeperidance Beige, tnat the club of the Rue des Pyramiees was dissolved after the vote of Saturday, and had reconstituted itself at the Council of State, under the name of the Club of the 286, or of the 18th of January. We ate authorised to declire that this news is erroneous, and that the members of the Club of the Rue des P)ramides have not ceased to meet on their former premises, and that they are all to meet on the 24th instant. If the club has lost M. Thiers, it has gained M. Mathieu de la Redorte, who had his name inscribed the evening of the vote on M. Ste. 13euve's amend ment." The Pays says—" In reply to the attacks which a morning jonrnal has made on General PERROT, we have only one remark to make. Out of one hundred and two officers of the staff of the National Guard, twelve or fifteen only hare retired, and the special manner in which they had thought proper to compro mise themselves with regard to General CHANGAR MER renders this step on their part as natural as honourable for themnelves. The others remain firm at their post, and are happy to see General PERROT at their head. A 4 far as regards the different legions of the National Guards of Paris, we can affirm that several of its distinguished chiefs have an intention of protesting against the insinuations of the journal in question, and that one of them has ev e n a l ready done so."

The Frankfort Journal of the 20th says the report that the Austrian army will take up a position in the Hanoverian territory, and he increased to 25,000 men, agiin gains credit; and that there is no doubt Aus tria intends to strengthen herself in the north•we.st of Germany —a project (it adds) the Hanoverian Ministry have not the power to hinder. Seeing that there are no disturbances in Hanover, and that Holstein has submitted, there can he no good reason why Austria should thus concentrate such im mense armies on the flink of Protestant Prussia, and within twelve hours' steaming of the shores of Pro testent England. Is this anther overt act in the conspiracy for extirpating Protestantism at the point of the sword, so ostentatiously proclaimed by the Univers some weeks since ?

Another royal proclamation and an addrps of the Stadtholders to the people of Lauenburg were about to be published. The Copenhagen papers of the 17th protest that no reduction will take place in the Danish army until Rendsburg and Friedrichsort shall have been given up to the troops of the King of PEN/MARK. BELGIUM. The Bing of the BELGIANS has addressed the fol lowing letter to M. Roma; Minister of the In terior "Brussels, 21st January. "My dear Minister,—The circumstances in which we find ourselves indicate only one solution of the Ministerial difficulty, which is, that you shall charge yourself with the ad interim administration of the war department. You knuw what is my confidence in you; I am persuaded that the sentiment of the country, with respect to you, is the same. Without national security, there is no political existence; all the most precious interests, without any exceptions, are connected with that security. The strongest guarantees must then be given to the country and the army; that we shall defend the elements of this security as our most precious treasure. I place this deposit in your coura geous and devoted hands; the task, I know, is difficult, but you will defend the most important national interest. I have sufficient confidence in your devotedness and your character to rely on you for the accomplisment of a sacred duty for all of us, and I beg of you to charge yourself with it, iu assuring you of my most sincerely affectionate sentiments.

ITALY. The official budget of the Papal States for 1851 shows a net income of 10 m illi ons o f R oma n sc udi (60 millions of francs), and an expenditure of 12 mil lions of scudi. This deficit of two millions is partly owing to the impracticability of taxing professions according to the decree lately published, which is now abandoned. It is reported at Rome that M. D ROTHSCHILD will in this emergency advance six mil lions of francs more to the Papal Government. The remaining deficit is to be made up by coining more copper money to the amount. of 1 100,000 scudi. THE ATLANTIC STEAMER. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 23, MIDNIGHT. Intelligence ha. reaohtd Liverpool to-bight of the return of the United States steamer Atlantic, Captain ,Vest, to Cork, in distress. The Atlantic left Liverpool on the 28th of Decem ber, with the usu4l North American mails. Up to the 6th inst. her machinery worked well, but on that day it was found that the centre beam or shaft was broken. She was then in lat. 46 12, long. 41 30. Captain West continued to proceed to the west ward against very heavy gales till the 11th, intend ing to run for Halifax, but finding it impossible to contend against the gales, he put back, arriving at Cork on Wednesday last, after having been 25 dais at sea. The screw steamer Genova has just arrived from Gibraltar in five days and eleven h .urs. !:XAMINATION. S' CONIMENCEMENT, 24, 1851. Dusantoy, John's. J. N. smith's, John's. Porter, Peterbouse.

THE CHOLERA IN JAMAICA,—An extract from a letter dated Falmouth, December 26, says —" We are happy to state that the fearful epidemic which has created such havoc throughout the island is fast disappearing; there is not a new case reported in our town to-day, and the accounts from the other districts are very favourable." ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.—WOOLWICH, JAN. 23.—Two sergeants. two first corpora l s, t h ree secon d cor porals, and three privates of this branch of the Ordnance corps stationed at Woolwich, embarked at Roff's Wharf at half-past 9 o'clock A.AL, to-day, for London, to join a com pany of the Royal Sappers and Miners which left Chatham this morning for London, and are to be quartered in Kensing ton Palace to take charge of the different sections of the articles to be exhibited in the Crystal Palace in Hyde-park. A number of non-commissioned officers and men of the same corps, equal to the strength of a company, Will leave i.rool wich at a subsequent period for the same kind of service, but the men have not yet been eeleded. No HARI' DoNa.—llorace 'Walpole, being in formed of a serious quarrel betwean two of his female friends, asked the person it' either of them had called the other ugly? On obtaining an answer in the negative, he replied— " Oh, then, I shall soon make up the matter." REPEAL OF THE WINDOW' TAl.—Three large and influential meetings were held last evening in the me tropolis, for the purpose of taking steps to procure an imme diate abolition of this impost. The inhabitants of the Liberty of the Rolls, of St. Leonard's .shoreditch, and of St. Luke's Chelsea, met in vestries, strongly worded resolutions were adopted, pledging the parishioners to use the most strenuous exertion on behalf of their object, and a confi dent expectation of the downfall of the tax marked the proceedings. UABINI•T DISSENSIONS.—We stated a fortnight ago that notwithstanding the grave misunderstandings which had ten or twelve days previously existed in the Cabinet, and which threatened its immediate dissolution, a sort of tacit understanding had been come to among the members, that no change should t a k e p l ace until after t h e meet i ng of Par liament. We have good grounds for believing that within the last few days, at least one member of the Whig Administra tion had all but sent in his resignation. and that even now, it is a toss up whether he will not retire before the first day of the session. The party to whom we allude is Earl Grey. The Noble Lord and the Premier are at variance on more than one important question. A difference of opinion on certain colonial matters, as well as on the great question of Papal aggre,sion, has, we are assured, much to do with the unfriendly feeling which exists between the two Noble Lords. Lord John Russell, and other members of the Ministry, cannot see the policy or taste of the conduct of Earl Grey Mr. M‘Carth y, a R oman Catho li c, to so imp or t an t a situa in appointing, at such a juncture as the present, tion as that of the secretaryship of the island of Ceylon, a place which has been rather remarkable of late for the pre valence of ref pious dissensions and religious acrimony. Nor does the aspect of this appointment at all improve on our acquaintance with the tact, that Mr. M'Carthy, whose sa lary, we believe, is 2,5001. a year, is the son-in-law of Mr. Hawes, the Under-Secretary to the Colonies, and a near re lative of Cardinal Wiseman. —Advertiser. DINNER AT THE MANSION liousr.--The Lord Mayor, as chairman of the Monarch Fire and Life Assurance Company, yesterday received his brother directors and the officers of the company at a sumptuous entertainment, given by his Lordship, at the Mansion House, on which occasion the directors presented to his Lordship a pair of claret jugs of equisite taste and workmanship. The usual loyal toasts were most eloquently given and responded to, and the pro sperity of the company and the health of the Lord Mayor were received with hearty cheers. There were amongst the company the Lady Mayoress, the Misses Vivian, Mr. Vivian, Alderman Hooper, Mr. Main, Mr. Knott, Mr. Brown, Mr. Games, Mr. John Laurie, Mr. A. Murray, Mr. Soane, Mr. Gill, Dr. Thompson, Mr. W. T. Fawcett. Mr. Clement, Mr. D. W. Wire, Mr. Walter, Mr. Long, Mr. F. Ward, Mr. John Addis, Mr. Hanncock, Mr. C. J. Butler, Mr. G. H. Jay, the Rev. Dr. Vivian, his Lordship's chaplain; Mr. Cathay, his Lordship's secretary. The entertainment passed off to the high gratification of all present. BRITISH BENEFICENT INSTITUTION.—At a meeting held on the 20th inst., Henry Francis Richardson, Esq., F.L.S., was unanimously elected one of the vice-presidents, and an honorary life governor, in compliment to him as the founder of the society. TUE LATE ACCIDENT AT CAIIERCIVEEN.--A cor respondent w r i t i ng from Caherciveen s i ates that Mr. Twiss, the gentl eman who was accidentally shot by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, i s "out of danger." Another says :—" This un fortunate occurrence was purely accidental, an d so mortified and heart-broken does Mr. O'Connell feel at it, that he neither ate nor drank, nor even left his bed since it happened ; no grief can ezceed his grief."

Oil. to is. 4id. per lb. Prices of all kinds were about 1-16 d. below the rates of Friday lest.—Riilway Shares were firm. During the present week the holders of produce have manifested generally a disposition to act with reserve, and to keep back supplies, but neither home buyers nor shippers have been induced thereby to come forward and purchase at all freely. Coffee is very sluggish, the stocks being large and consumption reduced. sugar, on the other hand, is used steadily, and the stock of British Plantation is low, so that the absenee of demand is somewhat unaccountable and not expected to continue. In Spices, Rice, Tallow, and Spirits, the transactions have been unimportant. Cotton has been firmer. Tea rules quiet although the last accounts from China state that the shipments were 4,000,0001b5. less than in the former season, and the deliveries are good. The following par ticulars of the dried currant trade are furnished by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson:— At the date of our last report, a dezan vessels, re cently arrived, were discharging their cargoes. About the same number has since been reported. The com parative total dirt ct importation from the commencement of this and the two previous seasons, is— To 20th January, 1851, by 53 ships, butts 5,949, car roteels 8 529, barrels 11,438, boxes 1,311, or about 7,850 tons. To 20th January, 1850, by 45 ships, butts 5,197, car roteels 5,755, barrels 10,466, boxes 2,400, or about 7,200 tons. To 20ih January, 1849, by 59 ships, butts 7,532, car roteels 7,004, barrels 8,130, boxes 600, ur about 9,000 tons. To the above importation of this season must be added about 500 tons received from the Continent since the middle of November, making the total importation about 8,350 tons to 20th inst. Eight cargoes have been reported at Liverpool since 18th ult. We now require about 3,000 tons to bring up our London imports to a level with those of last season, and 4,200 tons to make them equal to those of the preceding season. The clearances here for home consumption from 19th ult. to 18th inst., were 560 tons against 480 tons in 1850, and 500 tons in 1849. At Liverpool, during the four weeks ending 14th inst., they were 350 tons against 350 tons in 1850. The consumption of the United Kingdom in 1850 will, we fear, be less than that of 1849, the official returns of the first eleven months still showing a deficit of nearly 1,500 tons. The actual stock of Currants is London on 31st De cember of the last three years was:— Dec. 31, 1850, 3,507 butts, 4 . 559 carroteels, 1,430 oaks, 6,518 barrels, 841 boxes, or 5,000 tons. Dec. 31, 1849, 3,525 butts, 3,219 carroteels, 7,140 barrels, 2,106 boxes, or 4,600 tons. Dec. 31, 1848, 4,897 butts, 3,503 carroteels, 3,742 bar rels, or 5,200 tons. Our Christmas report left the market 3s. lower than at the end of November, depressed by simultaneous ar rivals, and by unsuccessful attempts at realizing by pub lic sales. In this state it has since continued, with no indication of revival, aggravated, moreover, by the offering at auction on the 15th inst., of about 500 tons of damaged fruit, part of 13 cargoes recently arrived, but of which only a small portion found purchasers, chiefly rain-damaged Gulph fruit, at unprecedentedly low prices, such as to form no criterion of the relative value of other qualities of fruit. The market is in an unsettled state, and our quotations are again necessarily nominal As we prognosticated two months ago, fine Currants are extremely scarce. The trade, who seldom resume their purchases of Currants so soon after Christmas, are evidently inclined to come forward, holding for the most part but little stocks. In January, 1850, foreign speculators entered the market and drove up prices 3s. per cwt., which, not extending to Liverpool and elsewhere, operated most prejudicially against London throughout the spring sea son. The article is now in a more healthy position, and only requires time for recovery from its present inac tive state, which state has, from the operation of tempo rary causes, prevailed in every other branch of the C.- lonial market since the opening of the year. The de mand is at pre sent confined to fruit at our lowest quotations. The circumstance of their being no steamer to the United States to morrow is telt as a great inconvenience by the mercantile community, atter the long enjoyment of a weekly communication. In the Amsterdam Market, on the 22d inst., there was no particular change in Dutch Stock. The Two-and-a- Half per Cents. were 56 15-16. Spanish Bonds were in request, but not so dear.
