MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE---WEDNESDAY
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat for our
market have been on a very moderate scale, and the
show of samples of that grain to-day was trifling. Owl rig
to the thin attendance of buyers, the demand for all 40'
scriptions was in a very sluggish state, at about Mon'
day's quotations. There was a slight insprovement in
the demand for the best parcels of Foreign Wheat, 11l
the middling and inferior kinds were much neglected•
Ba rley was a very dull inquiry, but we have no deciice
to notice in prices. In Malt next to nothing was doing,
at almost nominal rates. The supply of Oats was by no
means extensive, yet the trade was in a sluggish state•
at previous currencies. Beans, Peas, and all other sit'
tides were very dull.

MorNE Y and COMMERCIAL iNLI•VS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
2,500 bales American, realising 4d. to 51d. per lb. The
market was heavy. In Railway Shores there was no
Particular alteration, but prices were tending upwards.
The public interest in Continental affairs seems to have
slackened a little within the last two days, probably
because the accounts are less exciting, but still there is
Much matter for reflection, even apart from politics,
as to the financial position of France and Austria.
e cannot, at present, discover anything favourable in
pis respect, though the preservation of tranquillity in
aris is something at least gained.
The commercial league between Holland and Belgium
appears to be not yet so advanced as was represented,
though it is much to be desired in the interest of both
countries that the allianso should be effected.
The advises, per Hermann steamer, from New York
Convey no intelligence of special importance, but we
do not remember to have seen before certain items from
Chili.
" By the Diario de la Marina, we perceive that news
bad been received from Chili as late as the 29th Decem-
ber, By a decree of the President of the Republic, D.
Marne] Bulnes, dated December 23, the extraordinary
session of Congress was prorogued, although the affairs
which had occasioned the meeting bad n•t been disposed
of, The President believes that under circumstances
those affairs could not well be disposed of, and
therefore they had better be deferred until
the next regular session. The Chilian Govern-
ment, by a law of the 16th December, extends the
Privilege granted to vessels owned in Chili to those of
foreign ownership. ' The Valparaiso !germ y,' says
the Diario, 'in publishing this law, makes the following
remarks, which we believe worthy of the atten-
tion of the other States of the neighbouring Con-
tinent, where an illiberal zeal, and an absurd envy
against foreign capital, refuse the assistance of foreign
Mercantile industry.' We remember, says the
Mercury, 'to have read an English work which
• shows what places the British capitalists in advance
of all others. In America, we have to make another
eaconifteasls,ion and, all our industry is stimulated by foreign
p
as a consequence of this truth, we should
Place in the hands of those capitalists the means of deve-
loping our industry. How to create a marine has been
at! object of much discussion. Some 'A ish to commence
With a war, and some with a mercantile marine. In our
II"-, it would be better for the Government to raise
both at the same time. Our navigation laws will soon
create that great commercial power called a mercantile
Itiarine, which is the base of all national maritime
Power,
The great lines of railroad which had been in con
temptation in Chili had been abandoned, on account of
the large extent of uninhabited country through which
the road would have to pass, and the great expense
Which would be incurred in constructing it. ' The
People of Chili,' remarks the Diario, should not forget
the great example given by the United States in this
class of enterprises. There also there were immense de-
serts to be crossed in order to connect the centre of
Population and riches, Soon after having constructed
the railroads, the deserts became populated, and soli-
tudes were converted into scenes of active and indus-
trious life. The true greatness of the spirit of enter-
prise is not in seeking advantages visible to the vulgar
eye, but in foreseeing the latent utility of an enter-
Prise, and the consequences which would result from
its execution.' There is, however, in course of con-
struction another railroad from Coquimbo to the
capital."
• The election for Directors of the Bank of England is
now in progress. This is the first time that the house
list has been departed from, consequently some interest
is felt for the result. The Governor and Deputy Go-
vernor, Messrs. Morris and Prescott, have been re-
elected, and their untiring services well merit the con-
fidence reposed in them.
The Corn Market is dull to-day, at Monday's prices.
The dealings in foreign bills of exchange were yes-
terday again very circumscribed.
The Funds have been in the ascendant again to-day,
Partly on account of the arrangements for the settlement,
which at present looks learish. This entirely corrobo-
rates the views we have so frequently expressed lately
under this head. Consols opened at 83 to receded to
82i, and are now 82k to 83. Bank Stock is worth 186,
and India Stock 2311. The New Three-and-a Quarter
per Cents. have realised 82k to 52i, and the Three per
Cents. 81k to 81k. Exchequer-bills have been marked
875. to 40s. premium.
Spanish Active Bonds have been 10; Portuguese Four
per Cents., 14; Brazilian, 56; Mexican, 14+ to i; and
Peruvian, 26. Dutch Two-and a-Halt per Cents, are
361 to 38. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 551.
Railway Shares have been generally better.
