SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 3d contain long reports
of the debate in the Senate on the preceding dal,
on the Address in reply to the Speech from the
Throne. The policy of the Government towards
Italy, the Loja affair, and the state of the finances
were the topics principally dwelt on. The Claw?'
Publico says that the Marquis de Corvera has been
nominated Governor to the Prince of the Asturias.
Some sensation had been occasioned by a Council of
Ministers having been held at an unusually late hour
on the Ist, but the Correspondancia says that the
Council only deliberated on the postal treaty With
i
France which is about to be carried into effect, and
that the reason why it met later than ordinary W3B
that the Ministers might not neglect the business
of their departments, and be able to attend the
Senate.

IS IP POSSIBLE THAT IVAR WITS
ENGLAND IS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION?

(From the Money Market Review.)
We find, in a recent number of the United States
Economist, the annexed letter from Quartermaster
General Meigs to a Boston merchant. It is wortlii
of attention from the evidence it affords of the
vehemence with which the American commercial
community assert their claim to have the whole
of the huge Government disbursements made et
home, and of the jealousy with which they reg a
ir,
the despatch to England of even the small
orders apologetically admitted by the Government
officer to have been sent out. The humble
tone in which the official letter is couche f
is characteristic of the consciousness 9,
weakness felt by the Government. Thel,
policy is always subject to be moulded by pressure
from without. Its malleability suggests at the pre"
sent crisis many grave reflections. Now that the,
prominent question of the day has become thst 01.
" Peace or war with England," according to the
choice that may be made by the Americans, will the
stronger pressure be put upon the Government bia
the lower orders, unreflecting, pugnacious, an
,„
with little to lose, or by the upper classes, includinD
the merchants and bankers, the former of whom, ese
we see, can speak loudly enough in a matter
Government blanket contracts, whilst the latter.
have strong inducements to deprecate a quarretl
with England, if only on account of the ves,
mass of Government securities held by thew,'
Upon the answer which events shall give to t.hlS
question, very much may depend. Meanwhile',
we beg the particular attention of our readers
to the strange and ominous words which occur lil
the last paragraph of the official letter. What 15
meant by the remark—" I believe that a year hence
you and all others will be satisfied that, if the de-
partment has committed a fault, it is in not sending;
out (to England) earlier ?" Is this to be regarded
as another indication that war with England is e
foregone conclusion in the mind of the American
Cabinet ?
" Quartermaster General's Office, Washington COI'
October 29, 1861.
" I have another letter from you in reference to the price
°
and contracts and supply of army cloths. The matters it!),
which you refer have been subject of anxious thought
here, and are not new to us. The orders for abroad 119 c-
been greatly exaggerated. Should the factories in ty°
country supply us, we will buy, and put the foreigo
goods aside for a rainy day. I have a demand at this 1115-
meat for the instant issue of at least 00,000 suits of clothes,
which I cannot supply, and by the time these are tor
plied, other 50,000 will be needed; and yet we take all the
cloth, and even all the clothes, offered, except some of those,
at extravagant prices from the West. The sum sent abros'o'
is not 60,000,000 dols., as published in Boston, or 25,000,0°,
dols., as in Philadelphia, but 800,000 dols., for purchase ivo
supply immediate necessity. If our factories supply us 50
you think, and I hope they will, no more orders will g„.
abroad. I shall be able, by an order sent in August t'
England, to supply 200,000 men with blankets, at 2 dote
each, 40 cents per lb., and save the United States, on Ist.`e
prices for the same goods, near 400,000 dols., and still t'-`i
blanket mills will probably find profitable employment.
have not time further to discuss this question, however.;
but I believe that a year hence you and all others will
satisfied that, if the department has committed a fault it
in not sending out earlier.--Respectfully yours,
(Signed) M. C. Maras,

THE Loss OF THE NORTH BRITON STEAMSHIP.-"'
The uncompleted inquiry into the loss of the scroll
steamer North Briton was resumed on Friday at Liverpool
before Mr. T. S. Raffles, stipendiary magistrate, and Cal)
tain Harris, R.N. One or two additional witnesses were
examined, and at the conclusion of the evidence Mr. Raffle°,
expressed the opinion of the Court. It was to the 4tle°'
that they considered Captain Grange was guilty of fli°,
omission in net taking soundings at 1 a.m. on. the sth °I
November as he intended to do. The Court, therefore,
deemed it their duty to forward his certificate to the Boara
of Trade. In all other respects, however, they should report
in such terms of Captain Grange's conduct that they trusted
their Lordships would take the most favourable view of tllO
case.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVE NI NG, DECEMBER 9, 1861.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Owing to the prospect of hostilities with America, the
country markets, held on Saturday, were firm for wheat, at
in some instances, an advance in the quotations of ls. to 2s.
per quarter. In the value of spring corn, very little change
took place ; but flour was held for rather more money.
The French markets have continued steady, whilst the
outflow of breadstuffs for America are still very largo.
Very small supplies of English produce:were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were
41,374 quarters of wheat, 4,350 barley, 6,155 oats, 89 beans,
4,797 peas, 923 tares, 19,304 linseed, 3,005 rapeseed, 1,563
maize, 170 sundry seeds, 152 sacks and 28,608 barrels of
flour.
The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to this morning's
market were very limited, and several samples came to hand
in rather damp condition. Not the slightest excitement
was observed; indeed, the trade, both for red and white
qualities, was decidedly inactive, yet there were no sellers
on easier terms. Prices, consequently, exhibit no change
compared with this day se'nuight. The whole'of the sup-
ply had not been disposed of at the close of business.
There was a fair show of foreign wheat on the stands.
Importers were very firm, and all descriptions were held at
fully last Monday's currency. In several instances some-
what enhanced rates were demanded for American quali-
ties.

Floating cargoes were moderately, though by no means
actively, inquired for, and the quotations were well sup-
ported.

_
The supply of barley was much less extensive. The
finest descriptions fully maintained previous rates, but
medium and inferior ipa alities were a slow sale, on former
terms.

Malt changed hands slowly at previous quotations.'
With oats we were very moderately supplied, and the
trade ruled firm at full currencies.
The supply of beans was somewhat on the increase. All
kinds were in slow request, yet no change took place in
their value, comparc,d with last week.

Is 21d ; grease, 7d to lld per lb. By private contract a
fair business is doing in English wool, at full quotations.
Last week's imports were 682 bales from Sydney, and
1,832 bales from Algea Bay.

Although the show of peas was small, the demand for
them ruled inactive at late rates.

The flour trade was firm, and prices were well supported.
