League, for the purpose of connecting por-E
ton At least of the Austrian dominions in Ger
many with that body; and it has even been
stated. that treaty has been actually conclu-
ded for term of i've years which unltes Boz
hemisl to the Zollyerein. We do not place
much reliance on the accuracy of these an.
nouncements, but it cannot be doubted that
the commercial policy of the Austrian empire
has been for several years a subject of the
deepest interest to the Ministers of that great
State. and that the condition of its finances,
as well as the interests of the vast and vari-
GUS provinces or kingdoms ofwhich 1t is COM
posed, force it upon their constant attention.
The revenue return for the quarter ending
on 10th inst. was of the most gratifying char
acter. The vessels sailing for America take
but few goods. Shipments being few, Heights
were low. The cheese by the Great Wes-
tern was in excellent order, and sold readily
at the quotations. So growing is the feeling
in favor of American provisions generally,
that it promises to become one of the most
thriving trades between the two countrles.-l
The wheat markets of London and Liverpool
are inactive. By the average returns of the
kingdom, the duties remain unaltered. Pre-
vious rates have been reluctantly paid. In
American bonds there has been but little do
ing, and they remain unaltered in value. Mo"
ney has been in increased demand; first rate
bills are 81 to q, and others 3 to per ct.

"Cotton.- The only change from the last
week which has taken place in this market is
the greater inquiry and confidence that have
prevailed, and the increased amount of bust
ness transacted on speculation, particularly in
the inferior and ordinary qualities of An:eri-
can descriptions, which have been sold at pti-
ces, not previously quoted, though they can
not be said to be lower in proportion than
those which had been before current. The
general conviction that such very poor descrp-
tons of Cotton would not on account of the
present low prices be picked in the ensuing
season has probably led to the purchase Of
these kinds. In this belief also may be found
a strong motive against the excessive crop
supposed by some as likely to be grown in
lS44-5, for at the price of 25d to SGD, at which
rates some parcels have been sold this week,
it is not likely that the planters will see any
reason for picking late or carefully. Nothing
indeed hnt the excitement of the early part of
the year has caused the qualities alluded 30 to
be gathered or sent to market. The general
appearance of trade in Manchester never was
better, and the profits both with spinners or
manufacturers are perhaps greater, taking the

meInbered. No stocks of Yarn or Goods are
on hand, and every thing made is instantly
| disposed of. Brazls and Egyptians are both
| difficult of sale, and are at lower prices. SUI
rats are without change, but holders DESTROYS
to sell.
