Anticipated.
STATE OF THE MARKETS.

The steamer Caledonia was telegrapheG
at Boston OIL Friday morning last.
She sailed from Liverpool on the 10Th, and
was consequently nearly II days on her
passage, but brings dates from Liverpool IA
days later than those brought by the French
steamer.
The news by the Caledonia is most i'm.
portant: not only commercially but political
ly.
The commercial tornado has at length
reached the banks, TWO of which, the Liver>
pool Banking Association and the Royal
Bank Of Liverpool, have already suspended.
The fearful condition of English credit is
best indicated by her consols, which are sell
ling al Slower even than during the wars
of Napoleon, the darkest hour of modern
England's history.
The famine, in aggravated form, has re.
appeared III Ireland.
The trials of the Poles, and other persons
implicated III last years conspiracy, have
been resumed Two have suffered death
twenty have been. condemned to hard labor
in the tor,resses, while forty have been par
doned and sci al liberty. Amongst the lat
teris the youthful Count Ney.
The Emperor of Russia. has issued de-
cree ordering all the Jews in the empire
either to become members of one of the
guilds of commerce, or burgesSes of towns.
or to become cultiva,ors of the soil. Those
who refuse to comply with this order are
subjected 10 all the measures of repression
which the government may think proper to
adopt.
Wilmer & Smiths European Times, of
the 10th ult., gives the following review of
commercial affairs:
Since our publication of the 9TH Instant,
up TO the present moment, the commercial
distress described in our last number has
goue on increasing each day disclose the
fact OF some widely spread mercantile dis
asler; and il is most difficult, amidst the
general Gloom which prevails, to discover
any mode by which we shall get speedily
eAtricated from tie difficulties which sur
roUnd us. In Liverpool, consequent upon
the failure the Royal Bank yesterday, dis
trust prevails TO such fearful extent that
business is paralized, and no sales Of any
kind of produce can be effected on our quot
cd terms, or without considerable reduc
ton from them. In the manufacturing dis
tricts general stoppage Of the mills is
lhreatened and the very great decline in the
revenue for the last quarter indicates that a
change is coming over the condition of the
people; which cannot but influence the iu-
ture consumption of articles of luxury and
necessity.
| Yesterday, at Mark-lane, the previous
prices OF last week were asked, but before
sales could be effected decline of from IS
to 3s per quarter was submitted to by the
sellers. Foreign wheat was difficult of sale;
the finer sorts fetched last weeks prices
but the inferior descriptions were unsalea-
bic, The millers fixed the top price Of
flour at 46s. per sack, American flour was
about Is, per barrel cheaper than the previ.
ons week The quotation for American
flour in Liverpool is 24s Cd. 10 Cos Cd. The
accounts of the Lincoln and Hull markets
received at the moment ofgong 10 press, re
port a decline of Is. and IS. per quarter.
STATE OF IRELAND.
ANuTuER FAMINE APpRoAcIuNG.-The
increasing difficulties under which the peo
pie o! Ireland appear to be suffering, as the
season advances, claim the most painful
attention. Two appeals, the one from Mr.
Trevylian, and the other from Sir John Bur-
goine, addressed to the British people, have
been published.-We are implored 10 en-
tend once more the hand of charity to the
sufferers on the west coast of Ireland; and
the statements made of the already existing
distress, by two gentlemen so well acquant-
ed with the case, cannot, we regret 10 say,
be impeached. 1t is, indeed, most mel
ancholy prospect for the winler.-With dali
ly increasing distress in our own manuiac
turing districts, arising from the stoppage OF
mills, and the p:e>en arrangement OF trade,
il is grevous to find that the poor OF Ireland
will again become suppliants for relief from
the aluen! and the humane, both i'll this
country and in our COLONIES, and indeed.
wherever the English language is spoken.
| Il is further aggravation OF this national ca
| lamity that crime is alarming on the increase
in many districts OF the sister country.
