Some parcels of heavy wheat have been bought for exportation
during the week, and several lots have in consequence been cleared
off. Of inferior quality, there is still a ccnsiderable quantity in the
market. Rye maintains itself, and has even advanced a shade,
owing to the limited supply received. Barley has been rather
heavy during the latter part of the week.
From the 10th to the 16th inst. both inclusive, 39 cargoes og
corn passed through the Sound-10 bouud for British, 18 for
Dutch ports.

According to a letter communicated to the Messager
des Chambres of Friday last, it seems that " CUBA is
in a state of effervescence difficult to be described, lind
that it would need but one spark to kindle a vast con-
flagration." Farther on, the writer adds—" the report
gains ground, that General SANTA AN N A has destroyed
the 3,500 men who occupied Tampico."
We are very much disposed to place great reliance on
both these statements, and shall take this opportunity of
recurring to the subject of Mexican affairs, to which we
shortly alluded on Friday.
Of all the calamities entailed on this country by the
death of Mr. CANNING, we repeat, for the fiftieth time,
that the total change in the foreign policy of that States-
man has been the most injurious to the national charac-
ter of England, and most detrimental to her commercial
interests.

His recognition of the South American States was
not less accordant with every principle of enlightened jus-
tice than dictated by the soundest views of the political
necessities which had sprung up around us. Although
the lamented Minister did not follow up that great mea-
sure—as he might have done—with a treaty of alliance
which should have guaranteed the integrity of their go-
vernments and territories against Spanish aggression,
there is little doubt, had he lived and continued in power,
that Spanish intrigue would not have been left uncoun-
teracted to work its baneful effects in nearly all the new
Republics. We are quite sure that he would never have
tolerated the invasion of Mexico. To have been led into
such an acquiescence, he must have forgotten a truth too
obvious to a Statesman of his sagacity : we mean, that
Mexico is a natural Ally for England, and one of the
very first importance.
To make this truth self-evident to the shallowest un,
