What is striking in this analysis the great space
qued by the machinery and the small for materials
Once more we urge upon our American friends the necessity
to be up and doing.
There has been no deficiency in business in the
corn market during the week, but prices have de-
clined. Nearly $4,000 quarters of wheat have been
received from abroad. A great deal of the English
wheat comes in bad condition to market, and is
of very inferior quality. Good barley for mailing
is scarce, and fetches an advanced price Oats
in large quantities from Ireland and have heavy SALE
The money market without change Business very
tensive with brisk demand for money, and abundant
supply The funds may be said to be without variation,
business the stock exchange is small and steady that
operations there seem have ceased attract attention
There increased business doing in railway shares This
kind Of property has been unduy depressed, and
steadily rising its proper value In the produce market
there is show of considerable activity Sugar is decidedly
dearer the stock hand is small The demand for all
lonal produce large and the supply does not keep
with it. The inevitable result is advanced prices These
observations extend to tea, coffee, Spices cocoa, rice salt
petre and cochneal Metals Of all kinds stationery
cept slight advance upon English copper Hemp and fax
are without variation. Wool both English and foreign,
the demand.
Respecting cotton an eminent broker at Liverpool says
"Thsre is thing may depend on-coton will find its
sway from all quarters to this Market result much aci
stated by the repeal Of the navigation laws. Last week
cargo of 300 bales, shipped by Spanish vessel
here from Vgo Bay. instead Of going to its first destination
Barcelona; and hear that other cargoes, similarly
tho haav;
export to Spain but meantime the concentration of cot
ton here will keep speculation in check" The
sales Of cotton in London have been age and at rather ad
vanced prices The stock hand in London, of all Sorts
is 900 bales against 40 Ito bales in s49 The value
of cotton about 35 per cent higher than it last year.
and full 100 per cent than it in l84S, but at that
the political of the year had tended to reduce all
prices unduy and cotton has seldom been low
il was in the autumn of l848.
Our literary news is small. The Quarterly Re-
UieU is out with very laudatory criique upon
Mr.. TIcKNoR's History of Spanish Literature.
The article itsel-although the leading one-is said
to be below the usual literary standard Of the Re-
view; it is worthy the subject and Mr. Tcknor's book
should have been noticed by pen of more power The
Edinburgh Rero has article upon the United States it
is to be published this evening" but shall not be able to
see its character by this packet Scotch
gentleman, Mr.. W. p URaUHART, has been trying his hand
at Political Economy but by successfully The
reviewers who have hitherto noticed his book do not handle
him very gently Mr. Uquhart is freetrader, and argues
that the consequence Of unrestricted will Be
increased productveness Of the existing taxes and
quent ability the part of Government to dispense with
of them He says that since 1915 old taxes have been
abolished amounting to per annum, and new
levied the of Ella 0O0 leaving balance
Of f37 900 per in favor of the people, He states
that in 1860 the present taxes will exceed the expenditure by
97 900 annually. He then proposes to reduce the bur-
dens Of the people by diminishing taxation e. 900 pei
annum and by judicous management Of the remainder c
reduce the national deb, OOO OOOin 1882. These cal
culaions look well upon paper and sincerely wish they
may be realized.
Whatever may be the political sins Of AUSTRIA, she
certainly not backward in adopting scientific improvements
and in helping forward the of useful science generally
Her zeal towards the great industrial exhibition Of 1851 ha
already been noticed and is worthy Of record that durn
the last u months less than thousand miles of eec
tc telegraph have been constructed in that country, maxim
the total mileage about thousand miles, Of which abou
has the wires laid underground upon improve
plan. Another thousand miles will be ready by
year. The telegraph now works from Cracow to Trieste
seven hundred miles. The telegraph union betwee
Austria Prussa saxony and Bavaria into opeaio
this month with table of charges reduced one-half.
The greater part Of the English journals appea
to entertain no doubt whatever Of the projects Q
LOUIS NAPOLEON. After his tours to captivate til
civilians, he has commenced reviews and cham
payne luncheons to please the military. Exhaus
ton of funds does not seem to have been the reaso
! why the President abandoned his contemplate
! journey into the southern departments, but rathe
conviction that he could better forward his aim
by staying at home and lavishing his attentions, IA
vors, and money upon the army. Gen. CHANGAR
NIER does not appear to approve OF these attempt
buy the voices Of the soldiers by bbes of cga chan
pague and cold meats and exhibited bis disapproval in
very marked manner by leaving the field at the t

be characterized deness yet we cannot blame Ii
General for thus showing his dislike Of attempt to

lershp Of the nation upon him who most literally admins
