TIM PATENT LAW CONIMRION. --Mach surprise
has been expressed that the Patent Law Commission has net
TM presented its report, although it hes beau sitting nearly
If not quite two yea's. The simple troth IN that
the report is not presented because the members of
the cossaniseim caseot *some to as agreement upon
some of the principal points referred to them. The
establishment of an iedepsedeet court, for the trial of
pateet amass, is noderstood to be ate of the points upon
which grave differencm exist in the nommissios, and until
this is settled or set mid., the report need not be expected.
A umaincom report, we bear, is almost, if not altogether,
oat of the quietism—Birmingham Poet.

In the foreign stock market the excitement was
again confined to Spanish Passive Bonds and Cer-
tificates. The intelligence of the rejection of
the English proposals at Madrid occasioned
great disappointment this morning, and the

Passive Bonds, which were quoted yes-
terday morning 33 to 1, and yesterday
afternoon 321 to 4, were dealt in before the official
hours this morning at 311 to 4. A recovery after-
wards took place, owing chiefly to purchases by
persons who had effected speculative sales during
the last few days ; the closing quotation was
below that of yesterday. The Certificates follow
the movements of the Passive Debt, and left off at
a fall of per cent. Turkish Consolidife have re-
covered
per cent., and there was also an improve-
ment of in Mexican and 4in Brazilian Four-and-
la-Half per Cents. of 1863. Confederate Bonds, on

duction of 4 per cent. took place in Greek.

Wales, East Laudon, European, Bank of Hindustan

closing at 134 to 14 prem. Anglo-Egyptian Bank

tional Discount, 104 to 4 prem. ; and Joint Stock

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARi•LANE.-{THIS DAY.)

There was a very limited supply of English wheat on
sale hen to-day, nevertheless, as the attendant.. buyers
was small, all kinds moved off slowly, at Monday's quota-
tions. Thequality of the samples was good.
Fine foreign wheat, were held at full currencies; but the
inquiry for them was heavy. Low parcels were dull in the
extreme, and prices were almost nominal.
Floating (argon of grain moved off slowly, at last week's
quotidian.
The sale for malting barley was tolerably firm. In
grinding and distilling sorts very little was doing, at late
rates.

Malt was in fair average supply, and steady request, at
fully fdoeday's prices.
We have to report a firm market for cute at the late im-
provement in vales. The supply of both English and foreign
wee only moderate.
Beans sold slowly at late rates.

Pau were seedy ia price ; but the inquiry for them wee
imetire.

The flour trade was in a sluggish state, yet the quotations
were well supported.
Cakes commanded quite as much money as last week.
