The rejection-of Mr. Roebuck's motion on the affairs of /Brazil, has caused much sensation at Rio. The Braziiians feel themselves aggrieved, but their gratitude -to Mr. i-',,oebtick and' r. D'lsrat 1 is un bounded. Lit-Avas proposed to strike a medal its their honour. An adetre-ss of thank; was, however, de cided up on, nrbish<l,7ill be signed by Brazilians of all classo s. From I iuenos Ayres we learn:that as respects its internal policy, all. and :sundries allow, that the acts and measures of the new administration, hitherto Ta rought :forward, are of a pacific and conciliator v charactc..r ; and in consequence, the tone of the opposition press has softened down a great many degrees, perhaps . as far as is safe or compatible -au tra republican inssC..i.utions and a con stitutio rogime. The criticisms applied to Govern or Alsina .14nd his ,ministers are mild, compar, ;c1 with some we have .seen addressed to Mr. Bu 4 ilaunau And :lord Palmerston : and in that case we annot see that they .have any right to -eomplain„Aor the public any cause to apprehend con- Theta. So• langas general principles are recognised and respe, reed, we have no fear from the disaussion of isolated; measures. On the. contrary, says the British Pa cir , e-t, of July i : W 0 Mil it; :as a:safety-valve, and the best guarantee of order and pr ovens. Anqirresponsitsle administration, how ever good at td enlightened the individuals that compose it, will speedily deg snerate into a tyrannical one if its poPey and measur,s; are ,placed above or beyond the reach of a free and imp: rt.iat discussion. Political power, like other sublunary cr tea, involves in itself tLe prolific seeds of disorder and leePv.., and hence the necessity of the tonics and detergent c, thAit a wise and bountifuhProvidence has prov:itel, for t tie health and well-being of the body politic. In our last we, enumerated -several measures from the ministry of f irtance, all of a liberal .chancter, and calculated to p roaaote.cammercial interests. - Subsequently, the minister i if gosernment, Dr. Barros Paz is, has brought lomat ., 1 elwariety of measures, that, in our opinion, indicate disposii and administrative qualifications of a very hi g h or d er ; • and in Justice we must say the same of General Zhpiola, who bids fair to introduce important re forms in the orga nisvion of the army. The greatest, we almost said the )oly 'blunder, for which tne,present ad ministraticn is re sponsible, '(for the conscription law and the coedeca ion of Sous, were bequests of its predecessors) is the trial.of the alleged rioters at the date elections ; a measure that admit 3of utftvourable comment?, and that can lead to no practi, l result. Since all who committed the same Xenee will 'Aim the last three mon th s h ave not been, and cannot be t rlied„ no exception should have been made; moss especially •as electoral-excesses and squabbles are regarded with a let 11-7 t eye in all free countries. No plea of expediency can I:ustity such a proceeding.; whilst its tendency is to shake public confidence in the integrity of the t.ibanals, and c ttl the government itself. In the department of:foreign rt fations, we are not aware that anything hastean done or attemptel.; a (pietism that may become calpalt:e, if contit need much longer. If we saw a chance of getting clear of the -differential duties, we could augur more favourably of , prosp=ers, and other collateral interests. BL TENOS AYRES, JULY 2 In its monttdy retrosp vet of trade, the Buffos Ayres Packet supply us %a ith the following interest hit; particulars-: In manufactured ,goods `he demand for the local market has been eareniely languid. This is acceunted for in part, by the heavy public auctions that took place duriog the two preceding two months, and the early re mittances that were made this season for the supply of our country stores, and patal e v perhaps by the freqnent mizzling rains, that have kept ear sweets a nytbing but comfortable, and placed an unusually early interdict on our communica tion with the country alittricta. In these circutn stances we could not eilavet any improvement in prices ; and the tact tha t the public auctOns were nearly all at a credit of eve, sz, and seven months, is a conclusive proot that the ca. ntpetition was chiefly on the side of importers. The ereq, tisms are given to articles in urgent demand, that now c% 'rneaand fair remunerating rates. Judging from the nom 'ter of our late arrivals, it might be inferred that the mar. Let must again be greatly aiverstecked. In fine goods, host ,after, this is not the caas ; for in general they have brought oe4y a limited proportion of these ; and the complaints of i tad assortments are loud and long. Notwithstanding time A eneral stringency of the Money Market, we must also rept ert an. improvement in collections, while the only failure d uerieg the month is that of a Paraguayan trader, that is .now alleged to have assets equal, or nearly equal to the Amount of his liabili ties. These are cheering symptom s in the meantime ; and we do not choose to shade the lie, are, by anticipating the trials that may occur, when the in s 'aiments of the late auctions begin to fall due. We believe t hat up to this date there. have been very few arrivals dire et to ports of the Confederation ; and by all accounts the n laritet. there is very indifferently supplied, and the practica I working of the differential duties, therefore, remains ye t to be seen. Ia the.meantime we are satisfied that all pat ties are suffering from an active contraband—an evil that nri ist OD increas ing till the , effective cause is removed, by an amicable national organisation. It is good for us in the meantime, and may help to precipitate the contiabaud crisis, tint we cannot help for,,leeing, as a natural and inzvitable coa,se (pence of the false and anomalous position in which or commercial and other interests are pfeced. Upon the whole, though, we cannot announce any dec" 'vied improve ment in this department, it is at least satisfastary to find that the irnmediate,effects of the differential ditaties have not been so overathsliningly disastrous as was generally . expected. RIO JANEIRO, Any 14• The activity in the Coffee Market remaiuo un abated. From the ,9th to the 13th 101„50O bags have been sold, chiefly for Europe, at a further enhancement in prices, which latterly have ruled 200 rein .above the quotations of the 12th of ..gane. Tiae stow is 50,000 bags. Sugar has beer, very brisk, and prices has further advanced. Of 1,,,200 hogsheads arrived from Rio Grande 600 ,have baen sold at 520 reis,-leaving in stock 606' ,of inferor quality. Some salas of Six per Cent.

Supplies of coffee from the interior are begianing to arrive more regularly, and prices in first hands rule from 4P)Ors to 5,400 rs per arroba, according to quality. Stocks in seeond hands amount to about :11,000 bags, for which 4,500 rs per arroba is demanded. Cocoa is in brisk demand at rising prices, but supplies are insuffi cient to satisfy wants. Of hides the stocks are exhausted. Prices continue firm, at 390 rs to 400 rs per pound for dry, and .34.0 rs to 345 rs ler dry salted. Igo tapioca in the market. Freights flat.

Suct*w; The arrivals of sugar, as usual during . our rain', have be( n on a ninth smaller seale, daring the past and present month. These is, however, still more of the crop to come to market, and which is likely to be sent down with our la'c rery fine weather, indeed the arrisals are already showing an increase. We have bad some very fine growing weather lately, some rains in the night, and a vaim genial $P in OP daytime, xvhici has brought forward the new cane very -rapidly, and it never showed a finer condition. If the rains shauld take up soon, of which there are indica - ions, and with floe dry weatber in next month (August) 'we shall' have Sug a'rs to market then, in much larger,quantitieg.than usu al. Indeed, we hear that some Eagenhos, have already commenced to grind the new cane ; we only hop', that they may not be hurried to market before being properly 'male, so as to avail of the present almost fabulous priees. With regard to the extent of the - crop 1856-1°57, our estimates have hitherto been made from Ist Nov. of each year, but such has been tile irregularity in the COO mencement of the crop, that this ' , merely - represents the entry 'for' twelve months, without attempting to distinguish 'one crop from another. =Thus. 'in the present crop, - the entries of new Sugars commenced in September of last year, but all the arrivals up to Ist November went to swell the extent of the last crop; and it would be - the same this year, unless the crop periods were changed. This we shall endeavour to do, and to make oar crop estimates in 'future, from the•lst October of each year, to'lst October of 'the f, Hewing year, as up to that date, the bulk of the old crop is already in, and the small arrivals of new Sugars cannot have any material Effect on the estimates. If we venture on an 'approximate estimate, our impression a is, that the crop year from Ist September, 1856, to let September, 1857, will show fully '65,000 tons, and 'that the following crop year, from present appearances, seems likely to yield 'fully 75,000 tons, in the same periods—as the cane never had a more promising appearance. and promises an unprecedentedly heavy yield. Prices here have been forced up much too high, and leave e•certain loss en the 'last quotations from Europe. It- , allygood browns may be quoted to-day 0200 to 48300 per arrJba ; at the latter prices they c -st 3911 per cwt. ex. Commission and F;eight. These.added and allowing f r lossin weight and European charges, it would require 451 per -cwt. to 'ewer the first cost, and for Sugars not equal in quality to what were shipped earlier in the season. We give quotations as follows- : —Channel Sugars, a low , qualit - , 35700 to 38800 per arroba ; goon browns, 4sooo to 0100 do.-.; picked ditto, 0150 to 45200 do. COTTON: The prices of this article have continually ruled here exorbitantly high, and above European prices —36400f.0.b. lately paid for Paraibas, first and seconds would cost laid down in Liverpool will 3 rer cent. Commission 814 per lb., whilst by the late advices they were setting there at B,li to for firs's, and 7,1 d to Bil for good seconds, thirds being valued at only 74 to 714 per lb.—Prices have now a decided tendency downwards, and tit's is assisted by the a4vance which has taken place in freight of the.article, from 71 101 to 1 per lb.; and which may go up still further—Today we quote Pernams, 75400 to 75600; Paraibas, V4lOO to WOO; Maceios, 7sBoo to 75700. dines : The same remarks apply to prices of this article as to sugar and cotton. They have gone much too high, and have, consequently, to come down materially with the late worse accounts received. These have already declined a little and we quote to-day 335 rs to 333 rs per lb. RuM A/113 MOLASSES have lately hem in much request, and considerable exports have been made for Portugal, and elsewhere, at prices corresponding to the high prices of sugar. FREIGHTS. —Hive for some time been exceedingly de pressed, owing to the many Arrivals with iron work, and machinery, for the railway and gas works, &c., These shipments however, being now about finished, we expect to see much smaller supply of tonnage, and that freights will now take a decided start upwards.—ln ree3 for Sugar owing to small stocks, not much advance has taken place just yet, but in Cotton, of which the stocks are large, we loot for more improvement; id. per lb. has been already paid for Liverpool, and we expect more will soon be given at outpoes. EXCELUSGE has not declined this year as usual; this we consider to be owing. prineipally, to the very high prices at which produce has ruled, and which has thus absorbed a much larger amount of capital tha❑ usual. This is also proved by the high rates of clisclunt, which are now 10 per unit., when they usually have been 8 to 6 per cent. We quote the rate at 281 d to 28J. MARRIAGE OF ME. FREDERICK PEEL.---011 Wednesday morning, the doors of the parish church of St. George's, Hanover-square, were besieged by a large number of ladies anxious to witness the ceremony of marriage between the Right Hen. Frederick Peel, second son of the late Sir Robert Peel, Bart., and Miss Shelley daughter of John Shelley, Esq., of Ovington House, Winchester, Hants. When the doors were opened there was a general rush, and the body and gallerissowere soon filled with spectators of both sexes. Shortly after eleven o'clock the bride entered the church, accompanied by her father, and wearing a superb bridal costume. A square veil of Brussels lace was thrown over her head,!whiGh was enriched with a wreath of orange blossoms .and myrtle. The ceremony was per formed by the Dean of Worcester, Dr. Peel, brother of the lamented baronet, and ureee of the bridegroom. The bells of the parish church,Bury, rang merry peels in honour of the marriage. In the evening, balls took place at a con siderable number of public hcuses and beershops. Tue INDIAN MUTINY —Some additional papers have been issued. They contain the proclamation in which the Govenor General warns the army of Bengal that the t Iles by which the men of certain regiments have been led t suspect that offence to their religion or injury to their castes meditated by the Government of India are ma licious falseLools. Beyond that the return is a report of the proceedings of the different bodies in Calcutta and else whe-e, who bad resolved to uphold the authority of the goys'. , men" . Tn acknowledging these expressions of . loyalty, the Govenor General reiterates the assurance to the na tives that the policy of the British Government has been, and ever will be, to preserve a position of strict neu trality in matters of faith. The document concluding this assurance was written on the 25th of May. A blue book' of 381 pages is also published, being an appendix to pa pers already issued, ant consisting of proc:eiings in Various native regiments, con ts-mcrtial, and telegraphic comm rnications between military authorities and the Indian government, and from various stations, reporting the sitogress of the mu-ineers. Ax .i.'eraTatteer OP 7N - 10; - /BNIT INDlA.—England is, as regards India, in the condition of a men who has had his first apoplectic str , ke. She will get better but she will never again experience the joyful conflehnee of perfect health. She will for evermore be anxious and careworn, weaker and perhaps wiser, more thoughtful, and possibly more just. Let us imagine that the insurrection is put down-- and it will he put down—lndia: will nevertheless require three times as many European troops as before to hold it; and the possibility of a Russian invasion, heretofore a phantom, is now a reality. The probability of R Issian intrigues affecting the native population is converted into an accomplished fact. Teheran will now be what Con stantinople long has been - a battle field on which English and Russian influence will struggle for the mastery with greater violence. Since the fall of the first Napoleon, England has been universally regarded as invulnerable. Irish discontent brought no serious dangers, and the Canadian rebellion was quickly repressed. At home the country was at peace; abroad, itjseemed unassailable. N e wonder, then, that English statesmen grow overbearing from the excess of prosperity. It may indeed safely be affirmed, that England has, in the last few years, done more to hinder the development of free institutions in Europe, than the Cabinet of Petersburgb. Ste has made divisions, and sown distrust between rulers and their people, and has thus brought about such a state of things as we now see prevailing in Naples. From the moment that her Indian po.sessions a-e in danger, the whole policy of England must be changed. India is not the Achilles h'esel of England, it, is more, it is her other half. Europe aeld European civilisation have need of England, but an En glaud much changed from that which they have known of late-- Oesterreiehiehe Zeitung. Tiles THOUSAND Poseen Ron suaay .—At th e Manc h es t er City .?-elice Court, on Wednesday, John Smethurst, beet. house .keeper in New Charter-street, and William Howard, were cAarged with being concerned in the robbery of £1,020 from the person of Mr. Thomas Taylor, mill owner, Volton, on the afternoon of Tuesday last. In spector Taylor., of the detective force, stated that after re ceiving informetion of the robbery he made every possible inquiry, and at about eight o'clock the same night went into Mr. Whip,)'s public- 1 1one, Smithfield Market, and there meertairted that the two prisoners had changed a £5 note, which, on examination, proved to he one of those which had been stolen. The prisoners were at the bar when he went to the public-house, and they left Wean diately ; as so soon as he ascertained that the note was One of •the massing, he followed there, and in Eve minutes apprehended them in Miller -street—The barmaid, Mrs Newton, sister to Mr. Whipp, said the cote was changed by her She knew both the prisoners. As usual, in ehanging a note, ehe said she would require to leave it en dorsed, and Smethurst called out "Smethurst," and she wrote his name on the corner. Mr. Taylor, who bad lost the money, said that about two o'clock on the Tuesday be got £3O in notes from Loyd and Entwisle's bank, and £9BO from the Bank of England, and put them into the outside pocket of his coat. From the bank he went down King-street, through Cross-street, and down into Half Moen-serest, and thence into the Arcade to get a copy - of the Guardian. On the way be had felt bis pocket several ,eimes, And found all right. At the Arcade he had to pass Ihrough a crowd who were sheltering from a shower, and when he had got his papers and in kittle more than a minute ,from the time that he last felt the money safe, be found it was gone.

TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1857. MONETARY AND COMMERC/AL. LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening. The Wiles of Cotton to-Jay were 'confined to 6,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation and for export, et about previcua rates. There was a pretty fair amount of 'business done in the Liverpool Share Market to-day, and prices on the whole were tolerably well Supported, except ing for Great Western, which show a furtherdecline or from 5 to 7 per cent. The following ware the transactions reported, viz :-Blackburn, 71c; Cale donian, 381, 381; Chester and Holyhead, 171; Eastern Counties, 11 1-16.; Great Western, 52+, 51, 511, Lancashire and Yorkshire, 981, 981, 99; London and North Western, 1 . 021, 102, 1021; Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 391, 34. 381 ; Midland, 831; North Eastern, 231, 231 c, 231, 231, 231; Dovers, 211; Grand Trunk of Canada, 12 11-16, 121 12 13 16,124, 14; Dutch Rhenish, 41 d. The nominal price of the Atlantic Telegraph shares fell to-day from SO to 40 dis to 100 to 80 dis.; 9001 per share is now paid up. The following were the closing prices of the day :-Black burn, 7i, 71; Chester and Birkenhead, 65, 654.; Caledonian, 38 7 1. 39 ; Chester and Holyhead, 17'1, 17 . 1 ; Eastern Counties, 11 1-16, 11 3-16 ; East Lancashire, 951, 961 ; Do. 91. shares, 1, 9-16 p ; Great Northern, 24, 20; Great Western, 52e, 521 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire Stock, 99c, 991; Do. 9/ shares, 11-16, i p; Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport, 191, 19 . 4; London and North Western Stock, 1021. 1021; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 381 c, 38 i t; Midland Stock, 84c, 841 ; North British, 111, ; North Staffordshire, 41, 4 d; South Eas'ern, 2111-16, 21 13 16; Scottish North Eastern, 121, 122; North Eastern-Berwick, 23 5-16, 23 7-16; Yysk and North Midland, 38, ; Leeds Capital Stock, 211, 22; Buffalo and Lake Huron, 41, 4 d ; Ditto New Shares, 4, 31 d ; Dutch Rhenish, 41, 41 d ; Great Western of Canada, 201, 214 ; Ditto New Shares, par, 1 p ; Great Luxembourg, 68, 6 15-16 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 121 13. The Discount Market remains without any change of importance, and the steadiness of the demand for money considered, is of a permanent character. All expectation of money descending below 51 percent. during the present year is thus abandoned, and some persons are discussing the probability of a return to a higher minimum. It is premature to hazard an opinion on this point, however, when the course of events in India is so uncertain. These may exert a prejudicial in fluence, because in addition to the contingency of loans or other financial operations,' the drain of specie is not likely to abate. Whenever a pause in the supplies from America or Australia takes place, withdrawals of gold from the Bank, which are always a source of uneasiness, may be expected. The rates of exchange at Calcutta and Bombay, Hong Kong and Shrnghai are all lower, but it is sill thought that the efflux of silver will be con ducted on a scale that must divert Gold to the continent; for supplies of that metal purchases are being made, but not to so large an extent as of late. Whbn the letters by the present mail are delivered, the position of the Silver Market, and the probable nature of the operations of the Indian brokers during the next few weeks will be better ascertained. Some surprise was caused yesterday afternoon when it became known that about 400,00 p/ in gold had been taken from the Bank. This movement was unexpected, because only a few days previously there was no demand for gold, and the chief portion of the quantity brought by the Swiftsure hal been sold to the authorities; besides this there were supplies on hand from America, which it was thought could be rendered available for exportation if required. No tidings of the Great Britian have yet been received, but its arrival cannot be much longer delayed, unless some accident has befallen her. The amount of this and other vessels, also due, will bring, no doubt, prevent any serious declension in the Bank's bullion, even although an active renewal of silver purchases should commence. The India news, though serious, has tended rather to relieve than aggravate the anxiety pre viously entertained. The fall established in the Funds after business hours yesterday, has to-lay been fully recovered. There is still a heavy demand for discount accommodation, and the resources of the Bank of England are being rather severely taxed by the commercial community, the withdrawals in addition averaging some 30,0001 per diem. Some uneasiness is also felt in connection with the preparations for large bimonthly ship ments of silver to Calcutta, Bombay, and other India ports. Consols for Money closed to-day at 901, and for the Account at 901 to 901. Exchequer Bills, 6 to 1 dis., and the New Three per Cents at 901 to 901. In the London Railway Share Market there was a fair business done to-day, and prices are very firm, indeed, in some instances, rather higher. The following were the closing prices : Caledonian, 77k, 78; Eastern Counties, 111 ; East Lancashire, 95k, 961; Great Northern, 95, 96; Great Western of Canada, 20/, 211; Great Western, 521; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 98a, 98i; Leeds Northern, 431.441; London and North Western, 101/, l 021; London and South.

The Corn Markets held to-day were rather firmer, and Wheat may be quoted rather higher, especially old. Flour and Indian Corn were also on the turn against the buyer. The annual meeting of the English and Austra lian Copper Company was held yesterday. Some disturban.te took place from 'there being a mis understanding about the naming of the committee, whose report had just appeared, recommending several changes; but the directors' report was eventually adopted. The latter was then read, from which it appeared that the copper ore smelted in the year was 1,395 tons. The directors recom mended a dividend of 2s. 61. per share. After some dissentient remarks about the late sale of the Spilty Works, and other matters, the report was agreed to. At the meeting of the Royston and Hitchin Railway Company, held yesterday, the usual divi dend, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, guaranteed by the Great Northern Company, was declared payable forth worth. The Directors of the East Lancashire Railway have decided to recommend the Shareholders to declare a dividend, for the past half-year (on the ordinary stock), after the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The Directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway have also decided to recommend to the proprietors, at their next meeting, to declare a dividend for the half-year at the rate of five per cent: per annum. We understand that the Directors of the Otto man Bank have decided upon making a half yearly distribution, in the shape of interest, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. This will absorb 1..5,000/., and will leave a balance of 15,000/. to be carried forward to the next account. At the General Meeting in March next the Directors will propose the establishment of a Reserve Fund, considering that this course will be best calculated to raise the character of the Bank, and to secure the dividend from fluctuation. The dividend to be declared at the half-yearly meeting of the Southampton Dock Company, on the 26:h inst., will be at the rate of .4 per cent. per annum, being the same rate as was declared at the corresponding period of last year. The weekly traffic return of the Great Northern Itsiilway Company has been looked for as likely to show the result of this company's competition with the London and North Western for the Man chester traffic, but as the return extends only to the 2nd inst. (being one week behind most of the other conpaaies), whilst the company's new rep lations did not come into operation until the Ist instant, no criterion is afforded. The total receipts of the week were 25,3721, being 1,210/ more than those of the corresponding week last year. The French advices state that the Steam Navi gation Company known as the Franco-American, has signed an agreement with the Chamber of Commerce of Nantes, respecting the transatlantic line to the Antilles, this service obtaining from the government a subvention of 6,200,000 f, or 248,0001. The new capital is to be one million sterling, of which 200,0001 is to to be subscribed by the town of Nantes, and 800,0001. by the France-American Company. The subscription list is now open at Nantes, and is to continue open for eight days. Mr. Wm. Turquand has been appointed official manager of the Timber Preserving Company, now winding up. Lisbon dates are to the Bth ; the Dutch frigate De Ruyter and Spanish corvette Mazarredo were the only foreign vessels of war in the Tagus. The tobacco monopoly contract had been offered for public competition, and let out for another - three years at the rate of 1,341 contos, or about 300,000/. per annum, being 50,000/. a year more than is paid by the present contractors. The new company is represented by Baron dos Santos, Teixeira y Andrade. With reference to the market for American railroad securities; Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows :—" The market for American securities has been steady during the, past week, and closes with au upward tendency. The absence of anxiety from political considerations is a most attractive feature in these investments." We are in possession of later commercial advices from the Brazls and the River Plate.

The large importation of wood, which we noticed in our last as conducing to depreciate the value of the article, while it also has a tendengy to circumscribe the market, by inducing a belief among consumers that they can without difficulty suit themselves as to present require meats, and incur no risk of disappointment in the event of any contigency, still continues unabated. The arri vals have not only been in excess of immediate demand, but they have actually outstripped in abundance the superfluity of preceding years. This will be readily understood from the statement that at this date last year 101 vessels with an aggregate registered tonnage of 82,740 tons had arrived from British North America, wood laden, which was not under the supplies required for the anticipated demand; while this year, with a demand by no means increased, we have now had 147 vessels, of an aggregate tonnage of 103,157 tons brought into port. The preceding statement is sufficient evidence of over import, and also for displaying its effect upon the market, which continues low. Apart from the over abundant supply, other causes, at which we have frequently glanced, still exercises an ad verse influence on the trade in timber, and of these none operates more:injuriously than the unsteady condition of the money market. The latter has now been, partly it may -be by design, and partly by accident, so largely a matter of commercial dealing, that money must now be regarded as much a matter of merehandise as any other article which is bought and sold on the Exchange. A week of light arrivals of bullion gives such an impetus to tb4 demand for money tbiat its value elm ost instantly rises ; and with a few heavy importations of the precious metals, a re-action is so certainly established that re duced rates of accommodation are at once adopted, into which the Bank of England is however reluctantly also drawn This delicate oscillation operates so extensively in commercial matters, that at the present moment with probably the most promising harvest prospects which we have had for many years, there is an uncertainty as to future transactions in every branch of business ; without the existence of any overwhelming commercial specula tions, or the necessity ;for providing against any great mercantile contingency, the community is, and has been, for-a considerable time past constrained to act with a degree of caution suggestive of an anticipated monetary crisis. Withont' pretending to account for so anomalous a state of affairs, we deem it a duty to advert to the facts as they stand, leaving it for others to trace the immediate connection between the circumstances referred to and the actual position of the trade in wood ; a trade, in itself so susceptible of the action of those agencies which agitate the Money Market, as to engage the watchful anxiety of those who are intimately connected with it. AMERICVN T AMER. PINE TIMBER : Since the commencement of the import season, the arrivals of pine timber from Quebec have been continually adding to stock already on hand. Under these circumstances we cannot state that any improve. ment in value has taken place. The continuance of forced sales by auction (generally of inferior qualities) has had the effect of depreciating the prices of Fetter sorts, and consequently compels parties to resort to storing in the yard, rather than submit to the loss which would be inevitible if sales were at present pressed. One cargo - of inferior quality averaging nearly 80 fee per log, has been sold by auction at from 14d to l‘lid per foot, with beamfillings at 12U. Another, a small cargo of pine, sold in the same way, only realized 13d per foot. From St. JOhn the import is similar to that of last year; there have been no sales of cargoes during the fortnight. Eighteen inch average is worth 29d por foot for fair quality. Of Lower Port no sales are reported. RED PINE has not improved in value or in estimation. Its use is so much interfered with by the large importa tions of pitch pine from the United States, which, generally epeaking, being of larger dimensions and comparatively law in price, meets with more favour from the ordinary purchaser. Red pine may be quoted as worth from 16d to 181 per foot, according to size and quality. OAK AND Ewe remain without material alteration, the former has been sold at from 2s to 2s 4d per foot ; but for really fine qualities, and large average 2s 6d has been paid. Elm varies in price, but it may be quoted at from 18d to 21d per foot according to its size and quality. HARDWOOD from St. John, of 14 inch average, may be quoted as worth 17d per foot, and 16 inch as worth 20d per foot. That from the other ports is worth in propor tion, as in dimensions and quality. N. B. AND N. S. PINE AND SPRUCE DEALS: Of these the import up to the present time, since the Ist February, has been 1,538,443 pieces, against 1,084,515 Pieces last year. For the best shipments of St. John we have little or no alteration to announce ; they are saleable by the cargo at from £7 103 to £7 12s 6d per standard Numerous parcels and small cargoes of other ports have been sold at prices varying according to quality from £6 15s to £7 7s 6d per standard. - QUEBEC DEALS have not improved in demand or value since our last. Bright thirds have been sold under the auctioneer's discretion at from £7 12s 6d to £7 15s per standard, separate from the cargo; a few seconds of ordinary quality have, under similar auspices, been sold at £8 10s. Sales by private contract have also been made, but the rates have not transpired. HEML' OK LATEIWOOD, separately from the cargo, is worth .e 4 per fathom ; with cargo it, is worth 40s. PIT' PINE: In this there is no new feature to notice ; the stock continues large. and the saes slow. TEAKWOOD: One large cargo of this timber has arrived, but its destination is as yet uncertain. Gitacrineatyr : A cargo of this wood has just arrived ; it is worth per load by the cargo. Since our annual circular, dated Ist February, 147 vessels, 103,157 tons register, wood-laden, have arrived from British North America, viz. : 46 from Quebec, 63 from St. John, N. 8., and 38 from other ports ; at the same date last year, 103 vessels, 82,740, had arrived.

DEALS AND BATTENS are chiefly sold for export, the high duty almost precluding their use for home con sumption. LATTUWOOD continues dull of sale. Since Ist February 38 vessels, 11,648 tons, have arrived, against 37 vessels, 12,442 tons, to date last year. A. F. & D. MACKAY.

EMPLOYMENT IN CANAD I.—Mr. Buchanan, the Governmen Agent of Emigra , ion at Quebec, has issued a notice dated the Bth of July, 1857, stating that in consequence of the recent large emigra tion to Toronto and Hamilton, the demand for labourers and me chanics at these places Is, for the present, reduced. He recommends parties to proceed the country districts, and particularly to the Ottawa and to the neighbourhood of Belleville, Trenton, rort Hope, and Cobourg. Mr. Buchanan also specially refers to the urgent applications he has received for labourers, at high rates of wages, from the township of Otanabee, county of Peterborough, and from certain parts of the Cttawa country.
