QUARTER TO THREE.
The points in the debate of last night which most occupy
attention here are of course those relating more particularly to
financial and mercantile matters. The announcement that
the important question of the Corn duties is to be early brought
under discussion, leads to a good deal of speculation and guess-
work among the city quidnuncs as to what the plan of the Premier
will really be, and the announcement on the part of the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade that certain measures will
be submitted to the House for consolidating the fo-
reign trade of the country puts the commercial interest
also on the qui vice. The Corn Market is in the meantime in
a dull state, and the same may be said of trade in general.
