[NEW TIMES.]

We can positively contradict the assertion,
quoted in a Sunday. Paper from another Journal,
that the British Government had abandoned all
hope of preserving peace between Russia .and
Turkey."—Government are in possession of no
accounts which can .justify any such statement.
A private letter from Constantinople of the 11th
ult. states, that that capital enjoys general tran-
quillity ; and we have reason to believe that no
more recent advices from that .quarter are yet in.

though 'Saturday was the paying day. The
recent depression of funded property is lit-
tle, if at all, to be attributed to •the state of
foreign politics, but almost exclusively to some
apprehensions of the measures which may be
taken by Parliament in consequence of the
Agricultural distress. The most-Vague rumours
have been afloat on this subject :'one set of per-
sons affirming that Government mean to withhold
altogether the purchases on account of the Sink-
ing Fund, and others that a tax of 2lper cent.
is meant to be. laid on funded property exclu-
sively. Meanwhile the Foreign Stocks reap the
advantage of• thardullness which prevails among
our own.—The French Renfes left_ off on Thurs-
day at 85 80 in Paris;. but they are in our market
from 86 to 86 50. Considerable sums are now in-
vested in them, as well as in all other foreign stocks.
The claMour Made against the Fundholder by the
injudicious friends of the Agricultural interest is
thus likely to augment the distress which it is

COMMERCIAL REPORT,

Business general has been more active, araPrfceslave con-
sequently, rather improved ; this has been especially the case
with Indigos; of 3,096 chests brought to public sale, nearly
the whole was quitted at an advance, upon the preceding sale
in. October, of Is. 6d; to 2s. per lb. upon the fine and good qua-
lities, (fine Bengals have attained Ils. to 11s. 4d. per lb.) and
Is. 4d. to Is. Bd. upon fair and middling ; the common and in-
ferior at an irregular advance from 4d. to ls.—Yellow Candle

price having run up, t4;;41.y.,.04,, at which there were buyers at
the close of 'Change; toe immense- capital noiv invested in this
commodity favours the anticipation of a further en--Coffee has improved from 2s. to 3s. per cwt. par-
hane en-
hancement.—Coffee fluctuatingn t
titularly Colony Plantation, winch has become exceedingly
scarce.--B. P. Sugars have meta steady demand, and are
about Is. per cwt. higher; this is aho • the case with refined
.goods; Afolasses are difficult to be bought.at 235. per cwt.—.
Rums ate much sought after, in consequence of Government
being about to advertise for 100,000 gallons.—Cottons are very
dull ; the announcement of a sale of ' East India, on the Bth
proximo, estimated to reach '20,000 bales, may be assigned as
the cause.
