NOTICE 70 MARINERS.—The Corporation of the Trinity
House have directed improvements to be made in the floating
light at the Nore, by which a more powerful light will be ex-

stead of two lights horizontal as at present; the single light
will be much more brilliant, and be seen in every direction, si-

place until the Ist of March next.

CORN-EXCHANGE, JAW. 26.
There are good quantities of most kinds of Grain at market
to-day ; prime samples of Wheat fully support Monday's
terms, but other kinds are very dull in sale. The trade for
Barley continues almost in a state of stagnation-; Beans sell at
last quotations ; in Boiling and Grey Peas there is no alteration ;
Oats meet but few buyers this morning, but prices are not
lower. The top price of Flour was settled at 655. per sack at
the close of the market on Monday.
ARRIVALS—EngIish Wheat, 4,400; Barley, 10,100; Oatv,
8,700 ; Foreign Barley, 11,625 ; Irish Wheat, 900; Oats,
4,305 qrs.; Flour, 8,500 sacks.

NEW FISH MARHET.—The plan of building
a fish market on the site of what was formerly,
Ilungerford Market, is not novel, it was pro-
jected by the late Mr. Ralph Dodd, 20 years
since, when it created a strong sensation among
the dealers and others interestedence of in Billingn tisgatema-
,
and was abandoned in consequ an i
tion at the first Meeting of Shareholders, that it
would violently be opposed by the then Duke of
Northumberland. Hungerford Market, as it is
called, though now it has no pretensions to the
name) has been for many years in a disgraceful
state of dilapidation, and its being converted to
any useful purpose could not but be an irnpro‘e-
i ment to,that neighbourhood.

All our private letters from Paris represent
the French Government as chiefly occupied with
he policy adopted by the British Cabinet to-
wards the Independent Sovereignties of South
America. France is no doubt jealous, not only
of the wealth we may derive from their commerce,
but the influence we may have in their councils.
The liberal party in that kingdom take a dif-
ferent view of it ; they look to it as to a great
point gained in favour of national independence,
and as contributing greatly to quicken and in-
vigorate that enthusiasm which is leading the
oppressed of every State to work out for them-
selves that liberty which is consistent with public
order, aud which has its basis in jut and
equal laws. We consider it, moreover, as
not unlikely but that this prompt and de-
cisive recognition of the independence of the South
American Colonies, on the part of our Cabinet,
may have defeated certain views on die part of
France, which she never publicly avowed, but
which she is chagrined to see, by this measure,
so effectively frustrated. She had an eye, we
suspect, to these rich possessions, as furnishing
the indemnity to be called for in her future set.
Clement with Ferdinand as to the expenditure of
men aud money by which his Catholic Majesty's
throne has, in all the fulness of its despotism,
been preserved to him. The armies of France
were not sent to co-operate with the Royalists
of Spain in reviving the Inquisition, and conso-
lidating the system of terror, without an expec-
tation of reimbursement from those mines of
wealth upon which the mother country would no
doubt have been readily induced to grant a
claim of compensation. In the event of any
failure of such an amicable arrangement,
France would have known where, and how,
to direct her efforts, for the attainment of
her purposes, and the giving effect to her
just. claims ; but " Othello's occupation's gone,"
and the prospect of indemnity from that quarter
is at an end. England, from her great extent of
commerce and command of capital, must share
more largely than any other nation in the pro-
sperity of the emancipated colonies. Their de-
mand for European articles will stimulate th• in-
dustry of every country in Europe ; but Great
Britain alone is in a condition to reap the full
benefit of this lucrative commerce. France is
well aware of this, and it is a state of things
-which she by no means looks upon with com-
placency ; but her Cabinet will take no step
v. ithout first sounding the views of Russia. How-
ever well inclined she may be to hostile interfer-
ence from motives of policy, she will be restrained
by motives of prudence, from manifesting this dis-
position, except in conjunction with, and under the
auspices of, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. It
remains to be seen with what temper the Em-
peror Alexander will witness the astounding
spectacle of eight or ten new-born nations begin-
ning their career of prosperity by proclaiming
their independence, and Great Britain, in defiance
of all that is sacred in legitimacy," assisting guilt
to fill its measure!" Ilis Imperial Majesty will
no doubt consider this as a deplorable issue, and
it is likely that nothing but the impossibility of
opposing any effectual resistance to the course
taken by Mr. Canning, has prevented our know-
ing very distinctly his opinion upon it. But no,
resistance, even from the Triple Alliance, can be
of any avail. The Spanish Colonies owe their,
freedom to the growth of knowledge, and to the
influence of those causes which are gradually-
elevating and improving the great Commonwealth
of Europe. The truth is, an alteration is going
on in the whole frame of political sociiity, to
which these Continental Sovereigns must yield ;
it is in the order of Providence—and against that
will it is vain to contend.
