steamers

reported that her Majesty and Prince Albert intend
progress to enable them to take their departure early
IN August next. The route spoken of is first to Bel
GUM, and afterwards to SAKE Gotha. Rumor also
asserts that her Majesty will visit the King of the
French after returning from Germany. Some OF
the London papers confidently state that the Queen
has abandoned her Intention of visiting Ireland this
summer, in consequence of the outpourngs of the
repeal agitaors; whilst others affirm that she adj
heres to 1t.
AMERICAN Hops An extensive fresh importation

TRADE WITH BRAzn.-We find that the version
of the resolution proposed in the Brazilian Chamber
of Deputies, in reference to English cotton goods.
which has appeared in most of the newspapers, and
which was copied into the Manchester Guardian
of the Bird instant, was not correct The resolution
does not propose an additional duty of 20 per cent
the value of the goods, but addition of 20 per
cent (or one-fith to the present tariff duty Thus,
suppose the existing duty particular article to be
20 per cent, and to amount to S. per piece the add
tional duty would be oneffth more, Is per piece
THE IRON TRADE.-The reduction of 4Os. per ton
announced last week, has been general throughout
the South Staffordshre district. The present price
is probably not higher than can be steadily maintain
ed until OF the heavy orders for rails are clear
ed Oft. The speculation in pig iron in Liverpool
which has existed has received very serious check
during the past week. Many of the needy holders
have pressed sales, and large parcels of Scotch pgs
hdve been offered at 75s, per ton. Early in March
kers would take orders under l2Os The price Of
pigs in this neighborhood has not been subject to
the same fluctuations. The above reduction was de-
cidedly necessary to prevent very awkward state
Of embarrassment in several branches of trade
Moreover, the feversh state OF the present years
market is expected to occasion the iron trade per
manent injury, in the fact that the Americans are
now strenuously endeavoring to produce more iron
The produce of iron last year in the States amount
ed to 500 600 tons; the estimate for the present yea
Is much larger and In ten years 1t Is calculated thai
the make will reach million of tons, unless the fall
in prices in Great Britain should be such as to rem
der tcheaper for the Americans purchase pro-
duce, than to manufacture for themselves.
FREE TRADE AND NAVIGATION TO PARAGUAY
On Thursday, petition to both Houses of Parlia
ment, on the subject of the navigation Of the River
La Plata, lay in the Exchange news-room, and was
Majesty will 'direct such instructions 10 be given to
the officers commanding her Majesty's ships in the
River La Plata, as will enforce the free navigation
of that river and its tributary streams, compel the
due enforcement of the treaty, and oblige Buenos
Selves and, In their results, utterly destructive OF
trade which, If permitted to be carried on freely
promises to become of great advantage, second only
In value, extent, and importance to that OF China"
