A question has arisen whether the Hamburg and
Bremen steamers that run weekly to New York, calling at
Cowes, will he interfered with by the Danish fleet. Thews
steamers carry an enormous number of German emigrants
to the f:nited States, and large and valuable cargoes to
and from Europa and America. Some fun were enter-
tained that the Teuton* which left Cowes last Thursday,
on her way to Hamburg from New York, would be seined
by a Danish frigate which has been in the Downs. It is
probable that these Bremen and Hamburg steamers will
be sold in England, and that they will sail under the
English flag from Antwerp. The latter port has a railway
communication with all parts of Germany. The sale must
be Loki Side. and must be registered at the English cus-
toms. The Biennia fleet consists of the Hanes, New York,
Bremen, and American steamers, and the Hamburg Beet
imagists of the Teutosia, Sammie, Bavaria, Germania,
Hammon►, andßovusia.

TOrD.II2 HARBOUR COMPAIIT. —The report of the directors
of this company states that the results of the traffic from
the 30th of September, 1862, to 30th of November laid, in-
dicate with certainty that the difficulties sod losses incl.
dent to the diversion of a portion of the Dumbe trade have
been surmounted, and that the future operation. of the
company will be carried on with a constantly increasing
profit. During the first eight months the meow expendi-
ture (including interest on loans) exceeded the receipts by
2,3491. ; during the list six months a net peat (after de-
ducting interest on loans) remained of 4,921/. The balanos
of profit on the fourteen months over which the accsonts
extend is the differesce between them soma, viz., 2,5741.
On the general revenue axonal, the debt due to capital,
and which represent. the hies of working ocesequent on de.
velopiag the trade up to September, 1862, is 8,0931. 19c9d.
Owing to the interpretation put on certain treaties between
the Turkish government and foreign powers, the directors
have not hitherto been placed in a position to receive the
light and harbour dues granted by the cormassion. Under
these circumstance", sod subject to restrictions e hich guard
the company's interests, a commutation of these dues into
a fixed annual payment by the Turkish government has
been proposed, and a convention embodying this arrange-
ment bas been laid before the Turkish government, and has
passed all the stages necessary to give it legal effect, except
the final one. Should this or any similar arrangement be
concluded, the proportion accruing to the company for
arrears will be available's a set-off against the above leas
of 8.090/. 19.. 9d.

Tnc Cony TRADL—The imports of wheat from
Prussia are in the proportion of one-fifth to cunivisth to
the total importation into the Created Kiegdom, The La-
porte of spring corn are comparatively of less importance.
Any falling ott in the imports of grain from Prussia dose
not present a very serious aped. The quantity required
might, without great difficulty, be obtained from other
quarters, considering the abundance of last year's cereal
prodnoe in moat corn growing countries, and the prevalence
of low prices. There are several (arta to be borne in tided.
The crop of English wheat is the largest ever grows—the
potato crop in the United Kingdom is bulky, getters/1y of
good quality, and so far has kept sound. The mowing of
wheat has hitherto progressed favourably, and the aser.
once of the autumn sown grain crop is the United King-
dom and in moat other countries is, up to the present time,
on the whole, satisfactory for the prospects of the neat har-
vest. The winter has been mild up to this time. and the
supply of vageteblee has continued abundant. AU these
facts, in addition to the present high discount rate and
scarcity of money, are against a rime in prices. Oe the
other hand we have to consider the present very moderate
range of prices of grain generally—the large consumption of
broalstuffs all over the country—the comparatively small
stock of foreign wheat in vinery, the hamosiderable quan-
tity now presumedly afloat for the United Kiagdotn, with
so prospect of a material Sweats, so long as prices is the
English markets continue at the present low point—(Frew
the circular of Mr. George Dornbuich.)
