The treaty of conimemr and navigation with Russia,
which was signed at St. Petersburgh on the 12th inst.,
has been printed. It gives British subjects c ,usl rights
with those of any other foreign nation, and provides
that the ports of each country shall be free to the
other. British vessels are to be on an equality with
Russian in all respects. except SA regards the coasting
trade on which each country is still to reserve the right
of making its own regulations. Veslials from Great
Britain, however, may break bulk at any number of
Russian ports, and may also load at any number. Free-
dom of residence and equality of taxation with exemption
front military or municipal service and forced loans, ex-
cept for owners of real estate. Consuls may be appointed
to all porta and towns. Means are to be taken by each
Power to punish Irenolllll introducing goods with
fraudulent trade marks. The lonian islands are to
share the advantage of the treaty. It is to be fat ten
years, and ratincattone are to be exchanged in London
within six weeks from the 12th of January.

The commercial advicesfroni France mention serious
effect* in all quarters from time policy of time Emperor.
Numerous failures are reported, and the general anxiety
is such as would scarcely be allowed to prevail if mischief
were not positively contemplated. u eag the largtat
disasters is the stoppage of %%brinier and Roger, hankers
at Orleans, who were compelled to suspend after having
paid away 1,40,000 during a run. Means bile the letters
f Toulon, *n.l other naval and military stations,
continue to deacribe incessant act:vity in the preparation
of frigates and transports and the purchase of honors.
The produce markets have 1.1,01111 rather more steadi-
ness during the latter part of the week, and the prices; of
some of the leading staples have slightly improved.
Business, however, is inactive and chiefly for home con-
sumption. At the tea *ales on Tuesday and Wednesday
black leaf congous sold without reserve went upon
lower term*. Subsequently the market became stronge,'.
and on Friday last the delivery of the China letters
occasioned some speculative inquiry. Common oongou
realized la. 01.1. and afterwards id. Id.
A meeting of the Peel River Land and Mineral Cm.
patty took place on Friday last. Mr. 11. Hughes in the
chair. The most importaut point discussed was the ex-
tension of the pastoral operatious of the company, the
purchase of 34,043 sheep having been completed, with
the right of depasturage on the stations at FAlangowan
and Toolootn, fur 02,297. As the price was increased
by the value.; of the growing wool, and the transaction
was effected near the shearing seamwn, it is proposed to
devote 2s. a head from the proceeds of the clip towards
the purchase-money. The sock is stated to be of a
most satisfactory character as regards age, woolbearing
qualities and general condition. Time lambing and
shearing, both at the Peel and Ellangowan, were
reported by the superintendent on the 30th of Septem-
ber to be progressing favourably. There has been •
*light increase in the revenue from the goldfields, the
amount received for licenses in the half /ear eliding last
Juno being L3OO, and in the throe succeeding months
£159. The recent gold discoveries, however, at Port
Curtis, may lead to more important results, a number of
the motet experienced diggers in Australia having been
attracted to New South Wales, 112 of whom have pro-
ceeded to time Peel River. Generally the prospects of
the company were said to have materially Improved.
After; short disonsakus the report was adopted imani-
mously.

FRIDAY, FRB. 11.--Coutwise, 2,390 quarters of Ear
lish wheat have emus to hand this week. By land car-
riage fresh up, to-day, the receipt. were limited, and
the show of samples wail very moderate. There Waa a
fair desnand for good dry qualities, at pious equal to
Monday ; but all other kinds were very dull, at late
rates. Foreign wheat was in good supply, and heavy
request in prices, however, no change took place.
The fresh imports are over 9,000 quarters. Good and
dna barley changed hands steadily, at full currencies.
Other kinds were lees active. Balt met a dull inqury,
at the late decline in value. The supply of oats was
rather limited, and the oat trade ruled arm, at full
quotations. Beans and peas were Arm in pries; but we
had a dull inquiry for dour.

Our market continues to experience an active demand
for every description of the last growth. Prices are
exceedingly firm, and. front the iicarcity of the
present supply, promise further improvelurnts. Year.
lingo and old hope are in fair request. and the finer aorta
realise more money. The imports of foreign hops into
London last week were 74 bales from Hainbro.
