'The dulness which prevailed in our import market at the close of our last issue has continued unabated throughout the fortnight. The uncertainty as to the result of the Cal cutta opium sale, which:then interrupted all legitimate busi ness, can scarcelyyetbe said to be removed. Theannexedex tract from the Calcutta =Star, of Dec. 1, will show the na ture of the measures adopted by the " sellers for account" in the opium time-bargains to defeat the operations of their opponents, and arrest the progress of the Government sale. How far, however, the success of their plan may accom plish the object contemulated, and be lecallv sufficient to quash the time-bargains in wh .. - seems to be a matter of doubt, involvmg 1 of no:small diffieulty,,and which may give tio,n between the Tarties interested. there is still suffioient.r.ncertainty existing these matters to keep4lp in same measure ;h they Involved, 1 questions rise to litige, ilst, however tlistrust id divert.merehatits from their ,usu ,nd legit mate dealings, a respite at all events has b., Calcutta beenobtained, and the impending serious con sequences, which we• before wrote of, as,excitinginuch anxiety throughout '.our native, mercantile community, have been for .a time averted.
