14,953 from New Zealand, making a total of 54,850 bales.
To this must be added abqut 6,000 bales left over at the
close of last series, as well as a similar quantity expected to
arrive previous to their commencement. On the 4th Mestrs.
Bradbury and Cosh will offer at public sale about 1,200
packs of English as well as a few parcels of Irish produce.

MARK-LANE.
There was a moderate demand for most kinds of English
wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, and no
quotable change took place in prices. Malting barley, in
some instances, commanded mote attention, but other ar-
ticles moved off slowly, at late rates.
Advices from New York state that the trade for wheat
and flour was firm, but that the export inquiry was much
restricted. In maize, an extensive business was doing, at
enhanced currencies. On the Continent, the corn trade
generally is flat.

SEEDS..
The supply of tares on sale was only moderate, yet the
demand ruled inactive at late rates. With other agricul-
tural seeds the market was scantily supplied, yet no advance
took place in prices. Linseed cakes ruled firm.

Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown
produce were very moderate. The arrivals from foreign
ports amounted to 23,560 quarters of wheat, 15,061 barley,
49,880 oats, 1,780 beans, 1,037 peas, 300 tares, 6,595 lin-
seed, 9,657 oilseeds, 350 maize, and 739 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of

English wheat were very moderate. For most qualities
there was a fair demand, and a clearance was effected at
the rates current on Monday last. The quality of the pro-
duce on offer was excellent, bat the attendance of buyers
was by no means numerous. The show of foreign wheat

on the stands was large, In all descriptions sales pro-
gressed slowly, yet no quotable change took place in prices
compared with this day se'nnight.

TALLOW.
The tallow trade is somewhat firmer to-day, and prices
are rattler higher than on Saturday. The quotation for
new P.Y.C. is 449 3d per cwt. on the spot, and 44s 3d for
delivery to the end of the year. Town tallow has fallen to
43s 3d net cash. Rough fat 2s 3d per 81bs.
Particulars. J 1859.

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at late
rates.

The supply of English barley on sale was very moderate ;
but the show of foreign qualities exhibited a slight increase.
Malting alities changed hands somewhat more freely, at
very full prices. Grinding and distilling parcels, however,
were a dull inquiry, and the quotations were rather lower
than on Monday last.
The supply of new malt was very small; but with old
produce, the market was well supplied. The malt trade
generally was dull, at about previous rates.
The supply of foreign oats was very large. In the Eng-
lish, Scotch, and Irish produce the market was moderately
supplied. The demand for all qualities ruled heavy, and,
in some instances, prices further declined 6d per quarter.
Good and fine samples, however, steadily supported previ-
ous rates.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Oct. 22.
The result of the primitive elections is by this time known
.o you, at least as far as the towns are concerned. The
voters have been unusually numerous, and the triumph of
the Liberal Constitution party is undoubted. The Govern-
ment may gain a few votes in the remote country districts,
where it has the support of the feudal liobereaux, and is
better able to make its influence felt than in the cities and
towns, where even its own functionaries virtually defy the
pressure it fain would exercise. But I think you may rest
assured that the next Chamber will have a compact Libe-
ral opposition of 300 members, and that the remaining
52 will by no means be all constant supporters of the
present Government. A small compact' minority is all
that has been ever hoped for by the most sanguine
of the Ministerialists, and, were that obtained, M. von
Bismark would, doubtless, present it exultingly to his So-
vereign, as a proof that the nation was recovering its sanity
and as an earnest of better things to come. As it is, the
Opposition press already registers a complete triumph, while
the Ministerialists speak with bated breath. As anticipated,
it is the Fortschritt party that will chiefly gain, but there is
the less need to analyse the opposition, Since we know that,
on the two main questions—freedom of the press and the
necessity of having the budget voted by the Chamber—all
shades of the constitutional party are agreed. It is seen
with deep displeasure, although not altogether with asto-
nishment, that the King does not think it unbecoming to
endeavour personally to influence the elections. You were
informed of his words to the Burgomaster of Brefeld with
respect to M. von Sybel, and of the letter which ho conde-
scended to write to the paltry village of Steingrund, by way
of antidote to the reports that had been based on his
interview with the King of the Belgians. There is a singu-
lar want of taste and tact in the persons who advise his
Majesty in such matters. It was reported, quite falsely, as
it happens, that certain words of King Leopold, at Baden,
had produced a great effect, and that the Cabinet tottered.
If it was deemed really necessary to dissipate the impres-
sion thus made, and which of itself would soon have died
away, many ways might have been found of so doing, but
certainly hardly a less appropriate or dignified one than that
of a letter from the Sovereign to the bumpkins of Stein-
grund. The system, however, is persevered in. The papers
publish a telegram sent by the King to a M. von Jena-
Rettlebeck, who had applied to his Majesty to know whether
the Upper President at Potsdam, M. van Jagow, Coun-
cillor Breithaupt, of Berlin, and Major Blucher, would be
agreeable to him as candidates. The King replied that they
were so, and authorised the publication of that declaration.
As regards the course the Government means to adopt
towards the Chamber, various conjectures are made, but
nothing certain is known. It is generally believed, and
with good appearance of reason, that the session will be
extremely short, but the best opinions are to the effect that
the King will not sanction a coup d'etat. Ministers cannot
expect to get any thing out of the next Chamber which was
refused to them by the last. What the Chamber itself
ought to do will strike most Englishmen who have fol-
lowed the Prussian question. It ought to make up its mind
to speak very little, and to act sharply and decidedly. A. leading member of the Opposition should at once move a
strong vote of disapprobation of the ordinances of the Ist of
June, declaring them illegal, and also a vote of censure on
the Ministry. The Chamber should declare itself perma-
nently sitting until the committee had reported on the
proposition, and zeturned it to the Plenum, which
should then vote it at once. It is to be feared there is not
much chance of this step or any tantamount one being taken
There are so many persons in the Prussian Chamber who
win speak in season and out of season, and so the discussion
is unreasonably prolonged on an important matter which in
reality demands only prompt decision, and the Ministers
get time to manseavre. Few words and speedy resolves
are what are now wanted on the part of the representatives
of the Prussian nation. The more they talk the more they
risk weakening the cause they uphold. There is believed
to be no chance whatever of the King's seeing the error of
bis ways, although he will hardly be got to the point to
which some around him would fain impel him. As to M.
von Bismark, there is no doubt as to what he desires. He
is here reported and is generally believed to have recently
said that he hoped that in another year there would be
no more constitution in Prussia. We are evidently
making progress under the reign of the Prince who, not
quite five years, declared that " Prussia must make moral
wise legislation at home, by ele-
conquests in Germany, by
vating all moral elements, and seizing upon all elements of
union." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent thus ad-
dressed his Council of Ministers on the Bth November,
1858 :—" A rm, consistent, and,
if needful, energetic po-
litical conducfit, coupled with prudence and circumspection,
must procure to Prussia the political consideration and the
power which she is not in a position to obtain through her
own material strength alone. Poor, indeed, is the perform-
ancethat has ensued upon these words of promise. Five

The difficulty about the command of the execution corps to
be furnished by Saxony and Hanoverjointlyhaving been got
over, as well as those which Hanover raised with regard to
the simultaneous movement of the Prussian reserve, the said
execution should, in ordinary routine, take place towards
the end of November, or, at latest, some time in December.
This would only be the logical consequence of what has
taken place, and of the phasis in which the fair now finds
itself. Nevertheless, politicians are evidently Unable to
bring themselves to believe that the seemingly inevitable
consequence will come to pass. have There been so many
slips between cup and lip in this interminable Schleswig_
Holstein question, that one has great difficulty
in crediting
its approaching emergence from the intricacies of Dietal
discussions and the trammels of diplomatic notes. Mean-
while, one hears nothing more of the reported new consti-
tution for Denmark which was to destroy the importance of
the patent of the 30th March.

The Berlin papers are still full of the Leipsieration
celebration,
of the speeches made at the various ceremonies and dinners,
'
of the enthusiasm excited by the appearance of the veterans,
and of the satisfactory manner in which the whole affair
went off. As an interesting festival, they may be said to
have reason for self-gratulation. The affair would probably
have had more spirit, but for the wish to avoid making it a
demonstration hostile to France. This was perfectly
sensible and proper, but it a little cramped the :eloquence
of the patriotic speechmakers. Some of the song writers,
persons of less mark and responsibility, felt themselves less
shackled, and one or two of their compositions reached my
hands which might not give pleasure to the defeated of
Leipsic or their countrymen, in the improbable case of the
poetry, for the most part very indifferent, ever reaching
their hands. The French would be exceedingly wrong,
however, to take offence at the demonstration, which was
got up in no spirit of animosity to them, but as a politico,.
liberal manifestation. It may, perhaps, alsobe considered
to embody the idea of resistance to foreign invasiun, but
certainly not in an offensive way to any Fewer: Never..
theless, it seems to have irritated the chauvinism of some of
the French journals, and the Opinions Nationale plainly
intimates surprise at the Germans celebrating a battle in
which they were beaten, although it certainly was followed
by the evacuation of Germany by the French army.
Whereupon a Frankfort paper remarks that it now per-
fectly comprehends how the Opinione Nationale can urge
France to go to war single-handed with Russia, since there
can exist no possible risk for people who hold Leipsic to
hate been a Fronch victory.
