Our Hamburg correspondent writes as, under date
the 10th inst., that notwithstanding the raising of the
blockade of the Elbe, Weser, and Jande, the grain
market was very quiet. This was attributed to the
good prospects for the crop in the United Kingdom
generally, and to the favourable weather which bad
Lit in in the interior of Germany. Vim at had given
way from sto 8 dollars. Bye bad also declined 3to
4 dollars. Barley was from 2 to 3 dollars lower
in price. Some samples of the Seal barley bad
been showo, which were considered very inferior in
quality to the ern) of last year. Oita of good qua-
lity are scarce, and could easily meet purchasers at
about former prices, whilst the inferior kinds were
rather heavy. Rapeseed had realised 141 dole. banco.
The raising. of the blockade, which was to take place
Ilthe following day, it was expected would im-
pert considerable animation to the market,
and, with the prospect of a good autumn
ismand, would cause prices to continue firm,
an the stocks of the principal articles of produce bad
become so very much reduced. The effect of the block-
ade of the Elbe may be gathered by compering the
present stocks of some of the leadiog articles with the
stocks of former years :at the same period. Coffee
appears to have been least aft cted by the
blockade ; tho stock in round numbers was
6,000 ton., compared with 8,600 tons in 1848,
end 7,000 tons in 1817. Cotton, present stock, 3,400
bales, compered with 14,000 bales in 1848. and
6,500 bales in 1847. Bider, present stock, 22,000,
compared with 80,000 in 1848, and 97,700 is 1847.
Sugar. on hand, 1,500 tons, compared with 10,000
tone in 1848, 5,000 tans in 1847, and 12,000 tan
in 1848.
Exchange on London was in good demand. though
the quotation remained the acme. Money was easily
obtained for discount of good bills. The funds were
very steady, with some business doing.
There were at anchor in the Roads of Heligoland
49 vessels waiting to enter the Elbe with full cargoes

for Hamburg.
The weather in the neighbourhood of Stettin was
favourable for the harvest. Tt e mail steamer, the
Premiss Eagle, was about to leave for London, to
have ter bottom repaired, as they had no dry dock at
that port. Permission was cnty wanting from the
government, and bad been applied for, to load her
with wheat on freght, which had been offered at the
rate of 3s. 9d. per quarter.
The approaching raring of the blockade had given
rise to various operations in grain at Konigsberg.
We have received by this day's mail the following
particulars from that market:—Wheat, fine high
coloured, 1331 be., Polish, had b- en paid with 450 fl.;
other descriptions of lighter weight from 372 fl. to
400 tl. Barley, large grain, 1101ba. to 112th.., had
found purehvers at 160 fl. ; and smell grain, 1051 be.
to 1061b5., at 146 0. per last. After these sales
had been effected, the holders demanded higher
terms, and the market has in consequence be-
come more quiet. The weather was favourable for
the harvest, particularly for wheat. Warm weather,
however, would be necessary to ripen the corn. Rye
had suffered much, and under favourable circum-
stances only a very ordinary crop world be expected.
At Berlin on the 9th the funds and public securities
were firm. The exchanges on London, Hamburg,
and Amsterdam were & per cett. higher, and on
Bt. Petersburg j per cent. better. The last price for
the Voluntary Loan was 1041. Treasury Notes, 74.
State Debt Bonds, 85/. Bade Shares, 93.

Letters have reached us from Sydney to the 14th
April. The Tory from Plymouth had arrived with
204 immigrants. The shipping season was over, and
there was very little bossiness doing. The market
was over supplied with tea, sugar, coffee, rope, cigars,
and all eastern sod China prodocts, which were diffi-
cult to dispose of even at a redaction from cost price.
Tallow still kept very high, and was quoted at 301.
to 311. There was no political news of any import-
ance. Tote following are the quotations for some of
the leading articles of import, rates of freight, and

I 'Various repots and private comrrunications have
reached us from the United States, to the effect that
the merchants of New York and New Orleans are
snionely contemplating the formation of a road
across the northern part of Florida, the advantages of
which would be to shorten tte sea route between
those two important marts by about 1,000 miles, and
shipping would escape the dangers of the Florida reefs.
The termini of the proposed road, it is suggested, should
be the harbour of St. Mary's on the Atlantic, and
Cedar Keys on the Gulf. The distance across from
these two points is estimated at 140 miles, snd the
road, it is generally stated, might be constructed on
very reasonable terms—for the ground might be had
for very little, and there are, as far as report goes, no
engineering difficulties but what might easily be
overcome. The proposed road would bring the two
cities within four days' journey of each other, and
afford important advantages to the merchants of New
Orleans, but more especially to those resident In the
Atlantic Stater.
