Littrpool Cotn":Market, to-day,tliere is
no new feature to report. The weather continues
dry; with eihatp ;frosts' at night.- The • farmers
still bring forward Wheat in quantities quite
adequate to the want of buyerS, anethe iti ads
-throughout the .country markets is
_reported
without any quotable variation in prices. In the
-interval since Tuesday business here has been
inanimate, and the transactions in ifteat
aild Flour have been of the most limited descrip-
tion. The Gazette returns of Wheat for the week
ended 3rd inst:, are 1.19,23.4 qrs. The imports
fliom abroad for the past; three-i days, ar.,•quite

insignificant ; those from Ireland inclu4ea movie-
rate accession of Oats, Oatmeal, and Ffour ; the
exports are to a fair extent,
With only a thin attendance of either town or
country millers, the transactions- in Wheatat out'
market this morning were; again quite unimpor-
tant, but we cannot in any degree vary our,
quotations from those of Tuesday last. —Sales of
-Flour are quite of a retail character, without

apparent change in value.
'Beans are more inquired for, atepression atl;e
of Tuesday partially recovered.—Oats ant Oat-'

vious currencies.

Since the date of our Annual Circular, (say the
Messrs. A. F. and D. Mackay) giving returns up
to the.:lst of February in.the present year, several
circtimstances,:fisoal and political, have occurred
to disturb the .commercial condition of this coun-
try, and more especially to affect the relations
hitherto existing between Great Britain and her
North American.-colonies. The unsettled. and
admittedlY hazardOuS pOsition of political affairs
on the Continent of Europe has had the effect of
greatly
.agitating all our commercial and manu-
facturing markets—uncertainty huving 'been fre-
quently proved to be more detrimental to com-
i •. • •: .
Imercial enterprise than ' eveh 'the realisa-
tion of the evils most Apprehended ; and
.4
of this uncertainty, within the pat twelve
months, ~.we have .!experienced • more , than
the usual share. To counteract in a great mea-
sure, however, the bad effects of anticipated
political evils,
;the
„buoyancy of hope, and the
elasticity of. invention lend' their powerful aid,
and generally in a comparatively short space of
time, correct or prevent' the:MiSchief which has
been dreaded. Not so :When serious and fiscal
and often rash fiscal, changes are forded upon
the unwilling •acceptance of the Community, at
the bidding it may be, of partiesill-informedzas to
the general effect of the-measures they propound, or
-who may act in obedience to trade thecirs fouilded
on no bettei premises" than personal , expediency,
or ' the Yet more reprehensible dictates of selfish
aggrandisement.. The former unhappily appears
to be the case with respect to. the, provisions of
speeiei of ill-assorted union proposed; although
not originated, and probably not well understood,
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer,{ who, build-
, ing up the details of his financial scheme for the
current year, in inseparable connection -with the
provisions- of a- commercial- treaty between this
country and: France, proposes to liberate , the
• mannfactures of that cuUntry; with certain limited
-
exceptions, from all import duties,. without, so far
