The British mail steam ship Caledonia,
Capt. Lott, arrived at the wharf at Eas,

The most interesting feature Of the news
is that OF commercial nature, nothing of
any importance having TRANSFERRED in polit-
ical affairs. The Cotton market was dull
and sales small with prices tending down
wards. The price Of Corn was rising, and
the corn market remained in the excited
state Of the last two months, the weather
continuing untarorable.
We find a very strange piece Of intelli-
gence published in the Emancipation, a
Toulouse pr Mt. 1t states that the young
Queen Of Spain is already married to the
son of Don Carlos; that The marriage has
secretly taken place by proxy. The Eman-
cipator, says that it has derived its infor-
nation from quarter that has seldom de-
ceived.
Little that is important has occurred in
Ireland since the sailing Of the Great " est
ern. The meeting Of The Repeal Associa-
ton, on Monday last, was similar to that oil
the previous one dull and undressing.
Mr., DConnell being absent on his Teasing
tour, MIR. John O'Connell was the orator
of the day. The r. Mt for the week amount

OF Cnnnanght.
Abd-ei.Kader had urprised another de-
4 tachment Of the French TROOPS in Algeria,
consisting Of about 200 invalids, and cap
tured them all. We are glad that On this
occasion he was satisfied with capturing
instead Of buichering.
i The American provision trade flourish.
es. The stock Of beef, pork and cheese is
light; and the state Of things in ireland will
have IA tendency not only to improve prices
but lessen competition. II seems singh.
lar anomaly in this branch Of trade. that the
dealers are constantly complaint ,g IF the
smallness of their stocks, and Of the diff
Guilty which they experience in executing
the orders which pour in upon them.
The price Of Corn is rising rapidly: and
on this head we need do little more than
refer 10 the ample details in our market re-
turns. The weather lately has been mosl
wretched, and even al the present molnen'
large patches Of uncut grain are exposed Il
the petmg Of the elements in the north Of
England and in Scotland, while, as we have
stated previously, the position OF matter.
in Ireland is even worse. Damp corn en-.
hances the value Of fine wheat, and those
who posses the latter, calculating on rise
evinoe no desire to part with II. The
market is therefore scantily supplied, ant
Improvement in the price is the result
Asto the general yield Of the harvest, th.
authorities differ; bu, it seems untleniabl,
that the wheat crop will be under that G
last year - though moi to the extent ,ha
some alarmists would Gain induce the worl,
TO believe.
The Iron trade is brisk-how could j
he oiherwise?--and there continues 10 b,
greater demand than the trade can sup
ply. Tile price Of Iron, Of late years, ha
advances! enormously; and, from The pres
ent position Of matters, il seems likely I,
ad, ancc still higher.
A gratifying feeling prevails amongst III,
English commercial world at the prospec
which exists, during the administration o.
President Polk, Of having the America,
tariff denuded Of its present restrictive lea
lures. A more liberal tariff would mate
rally promote the prosperity and the hap
piness OF both counries--for commerce j.
always hufnanizing in its influences-and
while it adds 10 human happiness, Il has !
tendency to curb the military, in contra.
distinction to the civil and social spirit d
nations.

PROSPECTS OF THE HARVEST
The very wei, unfavorable weather ex.
perienced during the week, has done 81
much injury TO that portion Of the crops
