From tho London Times, March4.
The news from America, published this morn
ing, took The city completely by surprise, and pro-
duced fall OF almost | per cent. in Consols,
from which they but slightly recovered at all in
the course Of the day. The closing price of
Yesterday for the Account, was 96I 10 81, and
the concluding price OF today 96i 10 I, but
they were done at 96i. With The exception
OF his very marked effect, it has been unusual
IL Difficult, to collect in detail any opinions re-
s2eciins this news. People here are mostly dis
posed 10 regard The whole as a continuation OF
that tone OF bravado which the House Of Re-
presentatives, under the auspices of the Presi-
Gent, Mr. Polk, has hitherto maintained and TO
hope, therefore, that the same feeling will not
be exhibited in the Senate. But the most anx-
ious question discussed here to day has turned
upon what course is likely 10 be taken by our
Government, should the notice to abandon the
er such notice would be followed by an immedi-
ale hostile manifestation, or whether that would
b. reserved till the twelve months had expired.
From observations that have dropped from Sir
Robert Peel il is enormously inferred that in how
ever courteous manner this notice might be con-
v.yed, it would be Immediately resented; and there
fore The feeling which The news has produced was,
on he whole, very uneasy one.
EFFECT OF THE New COMMERCIAL system or
ENoL.sp.-The destruction OF our Protective
system, OF which The Canadian farmer-our own
couairy man-has thus tar enjoyed portion OF the
advantage goes far 10 render useless and unpro-
d;abe all this expenditure. He is henceforth
placed no nearer 10 US in commercial allegiance
imam the farmers Of the United States. Nay, he
is in worse position, for the industry Of the lat
ter is projected by duty on The importation OF TO-
reign corn, whilst We have stipulated for the with
drawal of all protection from the industry OF the
former. May it not therefore, be anticipated
that, in the course OF human events, the Cana
dian population will ultimately be driven 10 di-
rect their attention either to the achievement of
independence as a nation, or TO union with
the great confederacy OF the United Sates by
which they will al least acquire the right OF ira
ding with that important Republic on better
terms than they would possess if sill maintain
ing their present connection with Great Britain.
