At the present moment these are topics that affect the vvel fare of all classes, and deserve, therefore, the serious attention of all who can find leisure to attend. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE, YESTERDAY , The financial and commercial affairs of the country become daily more involved in uncertainty, and transac tions in nearly every branch of trade more limited in ex tent. The public mind had scarcely recovered from the shock inflicted by the British Premier, wheq it was astounded by the unprecedentedly rapid revulsion of affairs which has taken place in France. It will be seen from our quotations below, that the funds have suffered a fearful decline ; and until further information arrives from the scene of action, and a more definite judgment can be formed of the probable result of this most unto ward event for the peace of Europe, we may expect a continued depression to prevail. We need ecarcely add, that this all-absorbing topic was the prevailing subject of conversation on 'Change yesterday, and that various spe culations were hazarded, which at present it would be premature to enlarge upon. The Stock Exchange pre sents a gloomy appearance. Three firms are reported as being in difficulties The SHARE MARKET on Wednesday opened more briskly, and good hopes were entertained that better days and prices were at hand. The meetings of the large -the Midland, the York and North Midland, the York and Berwick, had given the public, generally, satisfaction, and the unsettled state of French politics alone prevented a considerable rise ; an advance did take place, and some not inconsiderable purchases on specula tion were made on Wednesday. Thursday, or the evening of the latter day, the news reached here of the stoppage of the reform dinner ; this made men hesitate, some more timid than others, " got out" of their purchases with a small loss. The news of the deposition of the French king, the destruction of the Palace Royal, &c., reached London at half-past five on Friday ; a great excitement was apparent immediately in the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange—the leading brokers had gone for the day, but those in town met with several jobbers, and all shares were offered at very considerably lower prices that those th( morning. The funds fell from 881 to 85i. Par anct Lyons from 4 dis. to 7 dis. French Northerns fror 30s p.m. to 30 dis. Intelligence of a progressive movement having been received from Paris, during Friday night, the fall in prices continued on Saturday. London Stock, which was on Friday 146, fell to 139. Midland from 115 to 108; Consols, from 881 to 831; and the smaller shares, in which speculators had dealt largely, were nearly un saleable. In our market on the morning of Saturday, very little business was done, and this at lower prices ; but on the receipt of the telegraph from London at 2 pm., the panic commenced here. London Stock fell from the morning quotation 143 to 145, to 140 ; the One-fourths from 5 pm. to 4 pm., and all shares were offer.'d at very low prices. A special meeting of the Stock Ex change was held to afford facilities to sellers of Stock, but only four quatations were made. YESTER DAY, prices were still lower, and we regret to state that two failures were spoken of, and hardly any business was transacted. Sellers did not appear to press stock at the ruinous prices marked, but seemed rather to desire to hold for a few days, till more certain intelligence from the continent. The following were the quotations at the AFTERNOON MEETING OF YESTERDAY :—Dover shares, 3 dis. ; London 4 -shares, 31 prem. ; Leeds 3rds, 31 ' dis.• Cheshire Junctions,64dis. 131 to 133 was o ff ere d f or London Stock ; Midland Stock was asked for at very low prices. A somewhat better tone was given to the market than at the morning meeting, from the prices by telegraph up to noon; in London ; bad as they were, not being so had as many feared. Consols, 81, I, 81, 82, 3,2; Lon don Stock, 135, 138 ; Midland, 105 ; North Staffords, 81, 91; Old Dovers, 27. The COLONIAL MARKETS present a more lively appear ance. The sales yesterday wereabout 500 hhds. The grocers have taken 400 hhds. Barbadoes, at very stiff rates. The sale of foreign sugar went off well. Molasses are in good t quest, and little offering. For rum there is a good in quiry, and holders will not sell unless at an advance on previous prices. Demerara, 10 per cent. over proof, fetched 2s. 3d. per gallon, and 34 per cents. 3s. 3d. The demand for coffee is not so active. Tea continues very quiet; the dealers still purchase very cautiously. The Dyewood Market is rather better. Campeachy Logwood is in fine request, both for home use and exportation. For saltpetre many buyers are to be met with. Several parcels have been withdrawn. The owners decline to sell in the present state of things. 1000 bags have been placed, at an advance of Is. per cwt.—ln London, the week, transactions have been on a small scale, but prices have generally been supported, although in the case of coffee a reduction has taken place. The sugar market has shown signs of firmness, and nearly all that has been put forward by the importers has been taken by the trade at previous prices, and sometimes at an advance of 6d. per owt. Tea market firm, but not active. The termination of the indigo sales showed that the very large quantity of 8700 chests had been sold, of a total of 10,130 chests brought forward. We have very little business to report in Corrort, and, all things considered, it would be matter of surprise if we had. The demand, YESTERDAY, has been only to the extent of 2,500 bales, at id. below the prices of Friday last, with an uneven market. Holders are willing sellers, but there is no forcing sales, as our market would not bear it : we should soon be nowhere as regards prices. The business done in FOREIGN WOOL during the past week has been on a very extensive scale, chiefly in Mogador, Buenos Ayres, and Turkey, but there is not any advance in price to notice. Imnorts for the week : Foreign.—Monte Video, 155, Venice. 50, previously, 14,528; total, 14,733. Scotch, 451, previously, 1,685 ; total, 2,139. Th. market for Scotch Pig IRON was firm in the earlier part of the week at our previous quotations, the news from France has, however, operated unfavourably upon prices, which have somewhat receded, and may be quoted up to last night—delivered in Glasgow—No. 1,51 s. 6d. ; Mixed Nos., 50s. ; No. 3,495. Since the reports of the CORN TRADE, up to Friday, which appear in another column, we have no change to notice in the prices of any article of the trade in Liver pool. In fact, up to last evening the trade was at a stand still. The probability of a continental war, and the vari ous conjectures as to how prices might be affected by such an event, has produced this stagnation. Some have gone so far as to anticipate that European holders would send as much grain as possible to England for security, and others that war prices would be demanded ; so that in the present uncertainty the trade is only in small quanti ties, for immediate consumption. In the LIVERPOOL PROVISION TRADE, yesterday in clusive, we have to report moderate arrivals of butter from Ireland, amounting to 3,810 firkins, 952 crocks. As usual at this season, dealers purchase sparingly, and con fine their transactions principally to prime qualities, which command full prices and are scarce. There is a slow trade for middling and inferior kinds, and holders, wishing to sell, are disposed to submit to a reduction.—Prime Irish bacon, of which 121 bales arrived last week, is in good demand.—Hams (13 hhds. arrived) a drug in the market. —Lard, 2 tierces, 20 firkins, 10 kegs arrived. Prices in Liverpool.—Buttir: Waterford, 88'. to 948.; Kil kenny, Carlow, and Clonmel, 88s. to 925. ; Carrick, 86s. to 888. ; Wexford, Carlow, 88s. to 89s. ; Belfast, 88s. to 925. ; Bally money and Colera ine , 86s. to 89s. ; Banbridge, 84s. to EBs. ; Newry and Dundalk, 80s. to 82s. ; Dublin, Carlow, 84s. to 88s. ; Sligo, 80s. to 868. ; Londonderry, 82s. to S&L—Bacon: Long Middles, free from bone, new, 565. to GOs. ; Short Mid dies, do. do. 58s. to 60s. ; American, 40s. to 54s.—Lard: Fine Keg, GOs. to 665. In American Provisions there has been a pretty extensive importation of Beef, 2700 tierces of which has been to a London house; and until this is brought into the market, very high prices will be obtainable for smallar parcels. New Pork is scarce, and much wanted. The market has been cleared of Old Bacon, at improving rates: New is in good demand, best qualities fetching very high prices : a great portion of the 400 boxes of Western cured offered at the public sale on Friday was sold at 465. @ 495. 6d. Hams and Shoulders are selling at the best prices holders can get offered. The import of Lard has been large, and the eagerness of holders to bring it forward to public auc tion has had a depressing effect upon buyers, and really fine quality, in kegs, has been sold at 51s. Cheese has been taken freely at an improvement. In Butter there is nothing to notice.

The following particulars of the TIMBER TRADE are condensed from Messrs. Chaloner and Fleniing's last cir cular, published on Friday, since which nothing of im portance has transpired :--, Pine rinber: There has been a more active business at im- proved prices for St. John, and declining prices for Quebec. — Bed Pine has maintained its value.—Quebee Deals have gone off readily at from :€8 lOs to -el° 12s. 6d. for second and mid dling qualities yellow pine, and .-c8 los. per standard for spruce.—Plank, New Brunswick. and Nova Scotia Fir: Thelast sales of St. John were at 24. 1-32 and 2d. 3. 1E per foot of the former, one-third was red pine, and the remainder spruce. Prices of deals and boards are improving. —Birch Timber: The last sale of St. John, with cargo, was 14d. per foot.—Quebec Oak, of fair quality and size, has been sold by auction at 2s. per foot, and a few good logs at 2s. 54. per foot.— Quebec Elm sold at ind. to 204. per foot.—Quebec Yellow Pine Masts : The last sple was 2s. 6d. per foot for a small parcel.—Quebee Staves have been in better demand.—New Brunswick and Nona Scotia Ash, 6.c., Hogshead Stares are in very limited consumption.—United Elates Stares have somewhat revived in demand through the better inquiry for Canada Staves.—llailwcy Sleepers: This week 3s. 9d. and 2s. 94. each has been refused for a cargo 9 x 10 x 5 and 9 x 9 x 4t respectively.—ln Mahogany several sales have taken place, but we have of room for the quotations. —Cedar, Havana: Yesterday 155 logs, good quality, were sold at from4id. to fd. per foot.— Zebrawood : Yesterday 23 planks were sold at from .E 5 ss. to £6 10s.—Satinwood is held suffi ciently in stock, but is not enquired for, even City St. Domingo. —Rosewood: Yesterday 128 planks were sold at £lB 10s. per ton.—Laneewood Spars are heavy of sale, and sufficient in stock.—Teak.

But whilst we assign this as one reason, we would earnestly and pointedly draw attention to the fact, that this branch. of the timber trade, particularly in deals, is being transferred from Liverpool to Hull. This arises front the superior energy of,he Hull merchants, their railway and dock committees, who hssi m date tbei rfreights to Manchesterand other more proportionately less central markets, with those of Liverpool, and by a greater development of railway facilities, enable buyers to secure their purchases at less cost, and in - lesst time than from the Liverpool market; whilst on the other hand, the delay, annoyances, expe nse , an d confusion in getting wood, sent througn the tunnel here, not only operate to the great di minution of traffic on the line, but practically nullify the under taking, by entailing a local cost, which even hears comparison with what might be the entire transit expense between Liver pool and Manchester, ;until that miserable and confined hole at \Vanning hardly big enough for an inland town—miscalled a station —ceases to be our only accommodation for wood good. Until branches of rails are placed in direct contact with the shipping and everysprincipal dept for merchandise in the port —until goods and Mood can be transmitted with the facility of passengers and lugga,ge, railway capability carnet be said. to be fully developed; noncan our local authorities and railway man agers escape the imputation of nullifying by their supineness and neglect, the advantages which LivelT"' --- principal port, and the great central marl Ringdoin. These gentlemen may reply that the work of time, 'and that later, such improvene... made; but we submit to their recollection, that the first i.... way schemed in - these parts was intended for the transit of goods between Liverpool and Manchester. The passenger re turns being comparatively little reckoned upon as a source of revenue, and the timber trade, it was argued, would dertve the grsatest advantage from its construction. Surely we, who twenty years ago assisted in its formation, have some claim to see in our lifetime. the promised consummation.

The excitement in the City on Friday last exceeded anything witnessed since 1830, and Consols, which opened at 881, and nominally closed at 88, fell after the regular hours of business to 851, owing to the announcement of Louis Philippe's abdication having subsequently arrived; and all other securities receded 2 or 3 per cent. below the official "closing" prices. Scarcely any business done in the foreign market. The excitement prevailing on the Stock Exchange on Saturday was intense, and the movti— ments of the English funds throughout the entire day have been most rapid and violent. Consols for money opened at 841 to 85, whence they suddenly receded to 83. Upon a rumour that a Regency had been established in. France they rose to 851, and when it was understood that a Provisional Government only had been formed they again fell and wero quoted 84. After this they were done at 84G and at the close of the market the price was 83- to 84. After Vie regular hours of business 834- was the quotation for money, and 83a to for the account. For Bank Stock the last price was 194 to 197 ; Reduced Three per Ce”' 831- to ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, 814 dia Stock, 238 to 242 ; and Exchequer-bills (Mart to 225., (June) 21s. to 255. premium. —With regard comparative fluctuations at the two dates, 1830 and 1848, it appears that the total fall in Consols consequent upon the three days of July was not quite 3 per cent., whilst now there is a fall, consequent en the recent disturbances, of 8 per cent. )J; In.. A letter from Rotterdam announces, that the Dutch Company's sales of coffee are fixed for the 3d and 6th of April, and will contain 497,579 bags, which is all that will be offered by the Co. until next spring. This is impor tant, as the Co. have hitherto always had a large autum nal sale. Ad%ices from Jamaica anticipate, with 1848 sugar crop, that the' deficiency from the produ of former years will be very great. The weather at bago is stated to be peculiar for the season of the yea.„ and, although favourable for the young plants, much against crop operations. spect to the Accounts liave been received from Barbadoes to the 29th of January, respecting the position of the West India Bank. A meeting had been held, at which a report of a jint committee of di rec t ors • and extraordinary directo r s hadi been presented stating the liabilities of the bank at 43.435,183, and the assets 43'3,564,774, after deducting 4424,587 for bad debts. The surplus left to meet the original capital of 4600,000 would be 4129,590. The committee proposed to make a call upon the proprietors of 415 per share, and to liquidate the claims of the de positors and other creditors of the bank by instalments of 25 per cent. on the Ist Aug., 1848; 10 per cent. Ist Nov., 1848; 25 per cent. Ist July, 1849; 25 per cent. Ist July, 1850, and the remaining 15 per cent. on Ist Dec., 1850, with intarest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The committee could not then see their way as to whether the bank cculd be resuscitated, and meanwhile proposed to do business "to such an extent as would meet their ct rrent expenses." The debt of Barion, Irlam, and liigginson was estimated at ss. in the pound. The commercial advices by the steamer from America state, that the exchange at New York was at 10 to 104 per cent., just touchinr the point at which specie could be re. mitted to advantage. In breadstuffs few purchases were being made for England, and the little demand for ton nage room at New York had sent freights down to Is. 6(.1. per barrel for flour. Although but few vessels compara tively bad cleared for Liverpool at New Orleans, there were symptoms of increased operations in produce for this market in the additional number of vessels placed on the berth, with a slight improvement in freights ; no less than forty-two vessels being up for Liverpool on the 2d Feb ruary, in addition to those already cleared. The receipts of cotton at New Yolk up to the 9th Feb. 1848, were 9,300,403 bales, against 1,002,770 bales in the pre-sous year, and 982,738 bales in the year before. The exports to Great Britain for the first-mentioned period were 222,668, for the second 248,749, and for the third 378,465. The stocks were respectively as follows : 461,584, 501,668, 378,465. The following are the offi c i a l es ti mates from the Patent-office, in Washington, of the crops of the United States, throughout the Union, in 1847, in bushels : Indiax corn, 540,000,000; wheat, 111,530,006; rye. 31,350,000; oats, 177,000,000 ; buckwheat, 11,674,000 ; barley, 5,735,000 ; potatoes, 97,018,000. This last crop (pota toes) was very much diminished in consequence of the rot. The Indian corn is chiefly yet on hand. The to baco crop was 219,964,000 pounds, a slight diminution compared to former years. Cotton crop, 1,026,500,000 1- • rice, 103,400,500 pounds ; silk, 404,600 pounder pound of cocoons. FIRST FULL-DRESS CONCERT OF THE PHIL HARMONIC SOCIETY. The first full-dress concert of the season of the above society was held last evening at the Collegiate Institution,. which was even more fashionably and numerously at tended than usual. For this, in part, we may account by the excellence of the programme, and the eminent stand ing of the artists enga g ed, comprising Thalberg, Madame Lozano, Miss Bassano, Miss M. Williams, and Miss A. Williams, Signor Ciabatta, and Mr. T. Williams;and in part to the judicious departure of the comm itt ee from the exclusiveness hitherto characterizing these concerts, by the admission of non-subscribers at a reasonable, and, considering the attractions provided, a very cheap rate. The overture, Weber's Jubilee, was very well played throughout; but the violins wanted strength. The first piece—a trio from Maritana—was a little marred in its effect by the somewhat unsteady accompaniment of the band. Indeed, it seemed to us that the singers did not seem at home together. In Rossini's duet, Tan cre di f , " Fiero incontro !" the Misses Williams sung most beau tifully, and amply justified the high encomiums which have been earned by them in their metropolitan career. The recitative was a perfect gem ; and the cadenzas introduced comprised novelties which had an extraordinary effect. and can only have been attained by immense study and practice together. Madame Lozano's cavatina, " Betly," from Donizetti, was most creditably given ; but the prudence of the selec tion is rather questionable, so shortly after the heads of the musical public have been turned by Alboni's singing of the same piece. Had Alboni never been heard. Lozano's rendering would have been a triumph. Thalberg. We almost hesitate- to speak of this unri valled maestro. The piece selected by him was a fantasia c3ntaining airs from Il Barbiersldi Siviylia, which was in imitably played. The prayer from Mose in Egitto was a most splendid effort ; and a most hearty and vociferous encore rewarded the close. We forget the title of the piece with which ho favoured the audience, in reply to the encore. It was a rich musical treat, however, and was heartily applauded. There is a modest deportment about this great artist which raises him a host of admirers, In dependently of his extraordinary talent as a pianist. The recitative and air from Don Giovanni—" Crudele, at no," was delightfully sung by Miss A. Williams, as was a song from Mendolsolm, • The Violet," by Miss Bassano. duet, " The Vision," also from Mendelsohn, owed th e honour which it received of an encore, chiefly to the chaste singing of the Misses Williams. Signor Ciabatta next gave a song from the music of Schubert; and if it was a fair sample of the gentleman's powers, we shall certainly have little wish to hear him again. The eon— eluding piece of the first part, a trio from Sphor's and Zemira, by Misses Bassano, M. Williams and A Williams, would have been faultless had the ace,omytt. went of the band been in tune. We have left ourselves little space to remark upon the second part, the gems of which were Thalberg's hantasia from Giovanni, Madame Lozano's Boleros, very exqui sitely sung, and " Tell oh my heart,"—Balfe—which was delightfully given by Miss A. Williams. On the whole we never listened to a concert of this society more worthy of the approval of the musical critic, or which seemed to give more general satisfaction to the crowded audience. Thalberg was encored in his Fantasia Brillante, in the second part, as were Madame Lozano and the overture of William Tell, by the band. STREET ROBBERY.—Yesterday at the police-court, three men, Robert and Edward Banks, both well know* to the police, and Thomas Carroll, were charged by a matt named Martin boy with knocking hint down in an entry in Cockspur-street, and tearing ofi his pocket....

The past week has amply proved that the performances have lost nothing of their attraction, for the houses have been numerously and respectably attended. In taking leave of M. Dejeau and ins company, which we do with considerable regret, we cannot but observe that he has succeeded in giving a higher taste for circus performances. We are aware that he must have been at considerable ex— pense in bringing so extensive an establishment to this country but we hope that his enterprise in crossing gar channel has, as far as this town is concerned, answered his expectations, and received that substantial proof of reward which is justly his due.
