ARRIVAL OF THE HlBERNIA.

The Cunard steamer Hibernia was telegraph.
cd at Boston about o'clock on Saturday after
noon and reached the wharf about 6. We re.
ceived on Saturday night, by Magnetic Telegraph
the following synopsis Of the commercial news
brought by her.
The Hberna made tho passage in sixteen
days, having sailed from Liverpool on the 4lh
inst, aud brings Liverpool dates 20 days later
than by the Cambria.
Com MARKET.-The corn trade has been in
very flucmaling condition during the entire
month of February. At the time Of the sailing
Of the Cambria, the price Of meal continued TO
give way, occasionally rapidly, until, from the
commencement Of the reaction, the reduction
amounted altogether to from 8s. to los. per quar-.
ter, and -four Is. 10 8s. per barrel. Ii might be
that this decline. under lhe actual position ofsup-
ply and demand, was too rapid, or commenced
TOO early; or that the nature Of the discussions in
Parliament removed the confidence Of holders.
and warned the fears Of buyers. Towards the
close Of February renewed confidence was OBJ
servable, and buyers again came forth from Ire
land in consequence.
| Since the upward move again commenced,
there has been an advance on wheat of from 4d.
TO Cd per 10 lbs, and in flour Of about SIS. Cd.
per barrel. Oats and oat meal remain steady,
but do not sell freely. Indian corn has Of late
given way from is. TO 2s. per SO lbs, and beans
2s. to 3s. per quarter. At our last market, the
prices paying were for general runs Of American
meal I Is. 10 l2 per 10 pounds. For American
Flour, sweet 39s. 10 42s., sour, 35s Cd to Sos
Cd per barrel, Indian corn, white, Cos TO 70s,
and yellow 79s TO 73S per 480 pounds. Egyp-
tian beans Ass TO Sos per quarter. Irish oats,
IS al 10 IS 81 per As lbs.
Various reasons and opinions are a1oat as TO
the possible supplies Of breadstuffs which we can
procure during the present season of famine and
distress, based on the most recent intelligence
from America.
We believe that there is good cause to expect
that from the opening Of the last eight or ten
days, the receipt ofcorn, flour, &C., will be light,
and this added 10 the continuance Of considera-
BILE exports to Ireland, has caused the market to
have a very firm aspect, and prices have since
returned as regards wheat and flour. Indian
corn is still continuing in great requisition, and
demands the high price of SOS to 72s per
quarter for white. Olher kinds Of corn are
cheaper.
COTToN MARKET.-There has been some re-
vval in the made, with considerable inquiry
from exporters and on speculation, and the prices
generally have been slightly in favor Of holders.
The MARKET however, closes quietly. and no
change can be made in the quotations. Of last
week. Fair bowed Georgia Cotton 6H to 6ad;
Mobile 81 TO I'd; New Orleans lid.
LONDON MONEY MARKET.-We have had an
unsteady market snce our last publication, but
tending generally towards decline in the prices
Of Consols. 1t appears 10 be generally conceded
that the course the government had fixed upon,
viz: 10 take loan of E8OOOOoo, is the very
best that could have been adopted. The bid
ding for the loan took place on the first Of
March at the Treasury, when the Messrs. Rouhs-
child and Messrs. Barring g. Brothers were the
only bidders on terms that were satisfactory TO
the Government. The loan was divided between
them as offered, viz: E89 los. for each hundred
pound. Thethre per cent Consul Scrip of the
new loan has borne Ia,2, ] and ] per cent. pre-.
MUM since.
