AT a large peace meeting Of merchants, tsders,
&C., held in London, a resolution was adopted,
declaring that the non-setiement of the Otepon
question was owing to the employment Of aego-
ciators "who made diplomacy trade, andEhave
pecuniory interest in procrastina,ion The re-
solution goes on to designate Sir Henry Pot,in-
ger, as proper man to be appointed, adding that

The COERCION BiLL.-rhe Irish coercion bill
had passed through all it's stages in the House of
Lords, somewhat modified in it's details, but s,ill
a severely stringent measure. 1t was fercely
denounced in Ireland, and will have a hard con-
test in the lower House.
The Corn BnL.-The corn bill was TO have
it's second reading in the House of Commons on
Monday, the 23d of March. The various clauses
proposed by Sir Robert Peel were passed by s,ea-
dy and sufficient majorties.
IRELAND continued in very disturbed sta,e,-
Want on the one hand, and crime on the other
form the chief features Of the domestic details.
POLAND.
The Polish insurrec,ion was nearly at an end,
having Leen put down with a strong hand and
extreme measures of severity. The Prussian.
Austrian and Russian troops had entered the CITY
OF Cracow, which was declared in a state of

surreciion gave an impulse to the widely preva-
lent feeling OF discomfort in both these countries

/ RoME.-By last advces from Rome, the Pope
was dangerously i'll.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE
There has been hardly any change in monetary
matters since our previous advces. The large
sum held in trust on account of new rail road
schemes, together with the uncertainty of British
and American relations, caused some stringency.
i The admission of Indian Corn, Buckwhea,
and Rice at the nominal duty was regarded az
being of infinite service.
The manufacturing markets were inactive,
owing partly to the contraction of the crcua-
lion, from the causes above stated but the busy
season of spring would give relief.
The popularity of Indian coin as an article OF
food, was on the increase.
The Iron market was inactive, and lower nrices
had been accepted.
