THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. •The Time: says it may seem ungracious to cavil at the - !gratifying announcement that Russia has simply and uncon ditionally accepted the propositions, but it confesses that it should have been better pleased had the terms been offered to Russia in a shape which would admit of their being made not Into the foundation of a treaty, but into the substantive treaty itself. It protests against an armistice, and hopes the Con ference maybe confined to the belligerent powers and Austria, and that Prussia will not be admitted. It is suggested that Vrankfort be selected for the conference. If the negotiation is, to he long, it ought not to be entered into at all ; if it be short, no man is so fit to conduct it as Lord Palmerston, and it is trusted that he woull nut retnse his services. The Post's Paris correspondent writes respecting the peace negotiations, that the Governments of France and England are acting with caution and firmness ; that Austria uses her utmost efforts to clear away difficulties ; and that the Russian Cabinet, finding the Allies firm, is gradually being brought to see the necessity of approaching peace in the spirit of the propositions. A very angry correspondence is said to be passing between between Rome and Austria, - on the use of the Concordat in Lombardy.

The immediate effect of the political news of last week has been an almost total suspension of business in all the grain markets of the United Kingdom, with an average decline of -{e•to 6s on home•growu Wheat, and 2s to 3s per quarter on foreign ; a proportionate reduction in the value of Flour, 2s en Barley, and is per quarter on Oats, Beans, and Pease. The feeling of holders, as well as farmers, has not been that of :anxiety to press their produce on the market, or to submit to any material reductions from late currencies, and, upon the whole, we may remark, that much less panic has been mani fested than might have been looked for under the circum stances ; but it is very natural that consumers should, in the :first instance, refrain from operating, except at a depression of prices commensurate with their own estimate of the power of the influencing causes, or wait until the present irregular and unsettled state of things shall resolve itself into one of greater aolidity and more confidence in the future. With the exception of Indian Corn and Beans, in which a Nrther fall of Is. 6d. to 2s. per quarter has occurred, little or no difference can be stated in the value of any article upon this market since Friday, but the business has been of the most retail character. We have had a fair addition, since the middle of last week, to our arrivals of most descriptions of grain produce. At the market to-day there was rather a firmer feeling winced; and a considerable amount of wheat was taken at the rices of Friday last, Flour was also more steady. Indian - - %rn and Beans have recovered the depression of Friday last. 1n ()stalest and other articles little alteration. . 11 4 1, 2trroot.i Printed and published by R. P. Tiascsus, of We, V.
