pears that the minister does not think it proper at the
present moment to make ass of the power conferred
upon him by the geoond article of the law just pro-
laded. astburg letters of the 22nd report a dull market
for colonial produce generally, which is in a measure
seedbed to the numerous arrivals and the discharge
of vends which have been ice-bound during tte
winter. Parties appear anxious to see the effect
which fresh supplies will have upon the market be-
fore they operate beyond the execution of pressing
orders. Coffee was quite neglected ; the total sales
et the week amounted only to 4,600 bags Brasil, at
41 to 8 sch., and good ordinary at 54 sch. Sugar
we rather depressed, and 800 boxes Havana had
been disposed of at 13.11 to 14.8 for brown, and 15 to
17.6 for yellow. Train oil was in demand at al
marks for brown Berger. In grain there was a little Si
more firmness. Cold had risen in value: it was
quoted 4354 marks. Exchange on London, 13.10 so
for three months.

communication by water between that place and 20
Warnentunde was already practicable, and milers 11.,1
frost again sets in, the navigation of the port may be
considered as opened. In the sea outside the port the 14
ice had disappeared with southerly and westerly too
winds. The thaw, however, had rendered the nada
in the interior for a season impracticable, which will
account for the small supplies of grain during the ' tai
fortnight preceding. In the price of wheat there 15:
was no alteration, and although the market generally is
was void of animation, still local speculation r,
and purchases on English account had con- is
tributeci to keep up the price. The quotations, rat
however, for wheat, free on board, may be diminished 134 j
in proportion as the expenses decrease as the period si
of shipment draws nigh. The accounts from Eng- sr
land for grain were so distiourang, that the holders so
of stocks on speculation will probably not venture to

export immediately, and therefore the spring ship- *"
meals are expected to be very unimportant. New is
