Trade continues In the same quescent stale
which has marked 1t tor some time past As COM
pared with the feeling whiah existed twelve months
ago, there is decided improvement, bvt the i'm
petus with which the year opened, produced by the
cessation OF hostiities in China an the East Indses
has not been maintained. The stock of cotton on
hand is enormous, and exceeds by upwards of 3OO,-
600 bales the quantity which was held last wear.
The present stock is little, if any, short of million
OF bales NEARLY years consumption. The Ii
verpool merchants, in this state of things, are i'm
pressing upon Government the necessity of having
drawback of the duty paid upon imported cotton,
accompanied by more liberal and comprehensive
system for facilitating export orders, with every
prospect Of success.
The weather during the last fortnight has net
been very proptious Tor the crops-frequent rain,
low temperature, and the absence, except occasion
ally of warmth and sunshine. During the last three
days, the rains have been heavy and frequent. All
this has The effect of retardng the ripenpg and fill
ing of the grain. The potato and turnip crops will
be more than they have been for years:
When the last steamer sailed, kind of panic
prevailed In the corn market prices were rising.
SPECTATORS were busy, and great fears existed that
the stock on hand would not last until the new crop
was got in. At this season-always critical one
for the crops-specuat is rife but in the present
instance, it subsidized sooner than might have been
anticipated. The ill-timed and heavy rains of the
last day two will, in APPLICABILITY, influence the

Wales has been giving additional uneasiness to
the powers that be. Two or three weeks back, it
was believed that the eme,aes, of which the south
counties of the Principally had been the
were exhausted, or at least sub3ued for time
Recent events have proved otherwise The Welsh
breakers Of gates and midnight prawle:s have shown
degree of tact and daring in their illegal peram-
buatlons which proves, not only that they are
thoroughly banded together tor common object,
but that they have perfect reliance each others

it will be seen, to some apprehensions which were
not made without desperate exertions and no lit.

The agitation was never rfer,the organization never
more perfect, the funds never plehoric as at pre-
sent Government looks passively prepared for no
hing but to extingush the fame when it breaks out.
In this respect no change has taken place since
the sailing of the last packet. O'Connell has pub
lished a statement oil his finances, which, unlike
those Of the national Exchequer, shows great sur
plus over expenditure. And he talks of further
movements, having for their object the supersedng
of legitimate authority, which will put the quies-
cent policy Of Sir Robert Peel TO still greater test
the want of adequate employment, the heavy tolls
the roads, the high rents, the low price of pro-
duce, and the poverty of the people-these, and
other irritating causes which fit mems minds for
"treasons, stratagems and spoils'' are still force,
and likely to remain. Tint the higherto quiet
and religiously inclined Welsh can only be
kept in subordination by the presence of

shows deep-seated social disease, is more easily
to be lamented than remedied.
The news by the Overland Mail possesses no
striking feature. In Scinde matters are approach
shown that his talent general is only excelled
by his tact as negotiator. With the chiefs he is
said TO have made terms, which will supersede the
necessity of further fghRg-so that speedy set

had swept away some of the British officers b.
lever, and Sir Charles himself had experienced an
attack, from which, however, he speedily recover
ed. From other parts of India, as will be seen,
there is nothing of interest to communicate.
The news from China is more than usually mea-
gre. No advance appears to have been made with
the commercial treaty Sir Henry Pottnger, ac-
cording to some OF the accounts, had left for the
north, in order to press the Chinese authorities
The smuggling of opium, OH large scale, by Ame-
ricans, is mentioned, TO which the British Plenipo-
tentinry had endeavored, unsuccessfuly, TO put
stop. 1t is added that British goods are scarce in
China, This announcement will give an impetus
to the markets, and considerable export trade to
that part of the world WILL in all probability, be the
result. The British merchants have acted with
very commendable caution, as regards the trans
mission of merchandise to China. They were anx-
ous 20 test the success Of speculation, a small
scale, before they embarked deeply, or glutted the
market. Indeed, the business accounts from China
The affairs of Spain comprise all that is of in
terest in the foreign news of the last fortnight Es-
partero, overthrown, is completely out of the field,
and his Regency gone for ever The two parties
which have brought about the revolution, will now
begin, in all probability, to cut each others threats,
indeed, symptoms of this friendly feeling has area-
dy developed itself at Barcelona. If Espartero
could have paid his soldiers, he would have kept
them faithful but their poverty, The absence of all
legitimate discipline, and the abundance with which
French gold was scattered 10 corrupt them, have
brought matters to the present crisis. His army Of
late years has been much larger than really

funds and rations would have been much greater

Ia the mean time, there is little doubt that Christina
