Perkins and Robinson in their Annual Circular,' dated to-day; at Liverpool say :---The -year ("Pelted with some what chequered prospects for the Wool. Trade. s At horns there appeared such elements of preeperity, as, justified favourable anticipations for the future course of business, stocks being ' everywhere light,"and the state of trade in the manufaCturing districts gradually= imprOVlng. But on, the other hand, there, were clouds gathering in the political lustiron, and evidences_ of an approaching struggle on the Continent of Europe, which• gave rise to-apprehensions that this country might ultimately - be dragged, however unwillingly, into a war which threatened to :become general. These untoward circumstances counter acted' the many - Other favourable influences existing, easel rendered all . classes 'of operators, and especially Foreign buyers, extremely cautious: in their dealings.." For, some months the' English markets continued in• a dull and inanimate state, any tendency- to improvement being 'checked by the dissolution of Psrliament in the month of May, and by the rumours, about this time in circulation, of a coalition on the part of. Russia and France, hostile to this country, which brought about something very like a panic in monetary ciieles. With the termination of the war in Italy a favourable reaetion set in, the trade at once became more buoyant, and a general advance in prices took, place. From this period up to the pre"- sent time the greatest activity has prevailed in the manufac turing districts, and the value of all kinds of Wool, with unimportant exceptions, has continued to advance. The deMand, it is true, has ' occesionally slackened, the absenee of supplies of suitable descriptions has been the main cause of 'any temporary inactivity; and although the news of our reverses in China was looked upon as calcu lated to effect our market unfavourably, it failed to exercise any lasting injurious effect. • The home trade his never been more active than at present, and the re turns of the Board of Trade show, ,that while our exports of manufactured goods continue on a very eXiensive scale, the exports of the raw ma terial have fallen off, which must be looked upon as- a very favourable feature. Our stocks of Foreign Wools are now at a very lbw ebb, and supplies Of all -useful descriptions are. very ; much 'needed, and will find 'a ready market. The prospects for the :future at the close of, the year are very encouraging ; Inditically, there appears to be every reason to hope that we` may now go on for some time without apprehensions of events that would disturb the peaceable course of trade. With the I__.exception Of China. we •are at peace with all the, world, and the difficulties as regards the disputed territory fri North America are progressing towards that amicable solution so much wished for on both sides - of the Atlantic. This country; is moreover now in such a state "of defence to render aggressive measures front any quarter unlikely ; and with cheap food, abundant money, and a well employed siopulation; we cannot be thought over san tsruine• in anticipating a busy and. prosperotts state of affairs "• , •in. the Wool Trade for the coming year. Colonial Wools : In the early months of the your • an improvement took place in the value of Colonial. Wools. The quantity offer •ring was onlY moderate, While stocks' Tin the hands, t ot', ' both manufacturers and dealers were nearly exhausted. tut,' in common with other cleicriptions, these classes felt the injurious effects of the unsettled state of polities, and the advancing rates. of . discount ; a reaction set in 'with lower prices, the' downward tendency continuing until arrested by the cessation of, hostilities in Italy. The favourable prospects for the harvesti and the great activity prevailing in the menu -Fel urines districts, soon gave an additional impulse to the menu `` ac and a recovery of 2d: to 3d. per lb. in value was ere long established. Under these fostering influences au extra ordinary demand prevailed, and the very large imports re ceived from the early part of May 'to the beginning of June, amounting in the aggregate to upwards of 90,000 bales, were not more than sufficient to meet the requirements. Well-conditioned, sound-stapled Wools were most eargerly • sought after, and brought relatively higher value than those ; s prite that had received less care and attention, particularly when competed for by foreign buyer's. There has since been no check, to the 'Upward tendency of the market, . I (9.ltl)_ough. the advance obtained at the public sales'in Nevem,. ber scarcely equalled the expectations of holders: about this time some little slackness- was apparent, though of short duration, and soon giving place to renewed activity and animation.' • There is Maws every prospect that prices . will range yet higher in the next feW mouths, and that everything that can be sent forward will be required to meet the demand, which- is fully' equal to-' the present rate of pro duction. Foreign • Wools : There- have been foni series ' of puhlie" — Sales -- held here during the year, at which; as usual, East India • Wools have figured in the largest riproporlon. Of theee 53,800 bales have been brought forwarl, • being only slightly •in excess of the quantity 'eata's logued in 1838. They have at all, times met a brisk ealo, particips.ting in the depreciations before noticed as • ex= . isting at particular 'periods in other classes, but not to an equal extent, and haling eiperienced a n more rapid recovery. The supply of the middle and better qualities has not. been sufficient for the demand ; indeed it would be difficult to- fix as limit to the quantity that might be advantageouslyimported of these wools, Were only moderate attention bestowed on their breeding and condition. An average advance of ld. to 2d. per lb. In value rvistbe quoted as compared with the range of prices at a correspondiingPeriod last year, and the tendency is still UpWaiils. Buenos Ayres Wools have been' in, great favour, the imPints have teen . considerable, and we are now left With hardiy,any stock. Fresh supplies are much_wanted_of_currentalescriptions whether washed or in the grease, and they will command -e:t,-• treme prices. Importers have agreat advantage in this market in the competition that exists between, our own and the continental ,buyers. .There has . been:a..great clearance of Peruvian and other West Coast' Wools: of these we have scarcely anything at market, and thO f iaitge of prices.is very high. For Portugal and:Spanish Wools there has,existed throughout the year a good . inquiry, and particularly for' Long Oporto Fleece, which . has at all times been ready of sale at our quotations Stocks of these descriptions are also in a narrow compass. In Mediter ranean Wools there has-been. a fair amount of business., _All descriptions of CoMbing. Wools, Bosnia, Turkey, Egyptian, &c., have more or less - pattiLipated in the fluctuations that have taken place .in the markets for English : Meeces.

A great deal, of speculation respecting the ap proaching Congress is still afloat in Paris, to Which the mysterious pamphlet on the Popedom continues to contribute' in no slight degree. There has been a rumour current that the Pope's Nuncio had' threatened to demand his passports; but it is now said that this rumour was devoid of truth. .. . There.is no doubt that considerable anxiety pre . vails in the Aiplomatic circles ofthe French capi tal just now, to which the arrangements- for the -COngresPlilive given rise ; but : very little reliance is to be placed upon most of the reports that are circulated. ,: , - . ~.. - The India maiL has brought us accounts of the organisation, at Calcutta, of, the expedition to :ilia,. It is probable-that the expedition will not much.exceed ten thousand men, half of whom ltrill be . Sikhs. Several regiments of Bengal ..eh „Europeans will also be called upon to serve riti. China; and it is also stated to be in contem - elation, to despatch a reginient from Bombay.

His lord ship had been suffering freina ill health, it would- ';,/, appear, for spße-yeprofript;, although with no apprehension of any immediately fatal result, until within , the last few Weeks.

His exertions in Parliament were- often . valuable ; especially on great occasions, when he prepared himself for some great oratorical effort.
