The difference between the two enact
ments are these In the first place the dis
elimination in behalf of female traders is
merged in general principle, which redu-
ces the license for a stock Of goods not ex-
,ceding $500 to Sc per annum to every
body.
The further difference commences after
the stock of goods exceeds $1,000, to which
amount the license is the same under the
new as the old law. The $50 license is
then omitted, and for stock over s. 900
and not exceeding $4,000 there is an adj
vance of 335 per cent. or $40 upon the for
mer amount of $50, the new license being
$40.
1t.,rsnaf to .stavern licen-
ses, the old law makes the license for house
of the rental of $500 or less $31 33, con-
s;sting of $1S to the State and S13 80 to
the city The ratio of increase is five per
cent. on the rental up to 500 which is the
maximum this is the State license, the city
license always being $13 33 ouly.
Under the new law the license is rated by
the rental as follows:

COLOMBIAN Cause.-The Philadelphia
Guano Company who by a treaty with the
government Of the Republic of Venezuela,
have acquired the possession and exclusive
right of removing the extensive Guano de-
posts existing on desert islands in the Car
ribbean sea, belonging to the Republic, are
making large importations Of the article to
meet the demand for the spring crops
The deposits amount to several millions of
tons and are said to be exceedingly rich in
fertilizing properties.

The MISSING STEAMER PACIFIc.-The
news by the last steamer has no marked sig
nificance, and is principally important as
removing the last vestige Of hope of the safe
ty of the Pacific. The Arctic, which was
sent in search Of the missing steamer, re-
turned few days since as far as the Mar
rum1, att Nov Y reported tAet ne
intelligence had been obtained of her, and
again set forth on her hopeless quest The
fate of the gallant and unfortunate Pacific is
doubtless sealed. How she persisted and
the sights and sounds of horror of that fatal
moment will be never known. Thus one
more name is added to the dark roll of steam
ship disasters which fills the heart of the
community with glow and sorrow.

Mr.. F1LLMoRE.-A Washington letter to
the New York Courier says that the latest
advices received from Mr.. Fillmore in this
country, were dated at Rome, in the month
OF February. He was then about to depart
for Naples, and from that port would depart
for Alexandria, Egypt The Ex-President
would probably proceed from that place to
Cairo and the Pyramids, and might thence
continue his excursion to Jerusalem. Ifhe
sat out in his tour by the middle of Febru-
airy, it is expected that he would reach
Trieste upon his return from the middle of
April to the first of May 1t is not unlike
ly, therefore, that the first information of
his nomination will reach Mr.. Fillmore on
his return to Europe, and of consequence,
that he will bring his response to it in per-
son.

The KANSAS INVESTIGATION COMMISSION.
Washington, March 24.-The prominent
topic of discussion here is the composition
of the Kansas Commission, who are all Wes-
'Aern men. Mr.. Campbell was selected for
Chairman because he was the leader of the
Anti Nebraska party Of last Congress and
leader of the House this session as Chair
man of the Committee of Ways and Means.
Mr.. Howard, who is regarded as an able
lawyer, was the general choice of the Re-
publicans, who objected to Mr.. Dunn, be-
cause of the latter's course concerning the
Speakership.
Mr.. Oliver, of Missouri, was recommend
ed to the Speaker by prominent Nebraska re-
representatives. as their choice for the minor
ity member of the committee.
The vacancies thus created on the Com
mittees of Ways and Means and Elections,
will probably be temporarily filled. The in
vestigation will consume at least two months,
as the committees are for thorough scruti-
ny into the affairs of the Territory. They
will take Clerk with them, and two or
three Marshals to subpoena witnesses.

Wan Islands, reasonable price being paid

this Convention recommend the substitution
Of other fertilizers in its stead.

THE MARKETS,

BALTIMORE, March "a, 1856
FLouR.-There was good inquiry this morn
ing for Flour, and the market exhibited consider
able buoyancy. For Howard Street and Ohio
Flour buyers were freely offering Sc IS per bbl.,
which was the price obtained at the close on Sa-
turday, but there very few sellers willing to
take this figure, and there was consequently but
little done. We quote Patapsco Family, 50 so;
and Extra do So so by the quantity.
GRAN.-There was an active demand this
morning for Grain. The receipts of Wheat and
Corn were pretty large, and almost all the parcels
offered were disposed of before the close of
Change.
Wheat-Of Wheat the offerings were nearly
5000 bushels. We note sales of fair to good red
at 81 48asl SO, and white at 81 4OaSl so for in
feror lots; 81 5SaSl - for fair to prime do, and
for family flour white at ST. 70.
Cor1e-The receipts of Corn were about &c, 900
bushels. The demand was very brisk, and al
most all the parcels offered were taken up before
the close of 'change. Sales of yellow, measure
ment, at 54a56 cents, do, weight, at Sass cts;
white, measurement, 52a56 cents, do, weight, at
So cents.
Rye.-We quote Maryland and Virginia at Goa
IS cts.
Oats-Sales at IS to 81 cents.
[From the American of Saturday last
ToBAcco.-We have but little to note in the
way of sales OF Tobacco this week. There arc
few receipts of Maryland, and shippers are not
disposed to take the old stock. About 200 hhds.
new crop Ohio have been received, and so hhds.
sold at Sc for red 10 S1l spanged. There are or
ders here for good deal of Tobacco. both Mary
land and OHIO, and shippers are waiting the re-
ceipts of new crop. On the opening of the mar
ket the competition among buyers will no doubt
cause prices to rule high. The inspections of the
week are 46 hhds. Maryland; 176 hhds. Ohio; Is
hhds. Virginia.; and 3 hhds. kentucky-total 240.

ALEXANDRIA. March 81, 1856.
Uheat-The receipts of Wheat forthe
week have been moderate, and prices have been
uniform, at ST 55aSl 60 for red, and 81 65aSl p
for white. The advces by the Persia have UNI
settled the market, and caused downward ten
dency. The sales to-day amount to 1000 1900
bushels, at 81 50aSl So for good to strictly prime
red. and 81 60aSl Is for white.
Corn-Sales of white and mixed at 5oa53 cts.

LATE FROM EUROPE.

The Cunard steamship Persia arrived at
New York Thursday, bringing Liverpool
dates to the 9Th instant The steamship
Quaker City, employed by the Collins line
in place of the Pacific, sailed from Liver
pool three days before the Persia. The
latter vessel brings no tidings of the Pacific,
and the most serious apprehensions for her
safety were entertained in England. There
was no change in the peace prospects, the
only important facts relating thereto brought
by this arrival being that the Austrian pro-
positions had been accepted by the Confer
ence as the preliminary basis of negotiation;
that Louis Napoleon had made speech the
burthen of which was that he hoped for
peace, but that preparation must be made
for its alternative; and that two additional
meetings of the Conference had been held
the proceedings at which were kept pro-
foundedly secret. The actions of the belli-
gerents agreed with this suspense of opinion
and may be taken as indicative of the fact
that so far the negotiations had not reached
any conclusion that rendered peace certain.
Hostilities were entirely suspended in the
Crlmea, but the Russians were concentrate
ing both men and supplies in the Baltic pro-
vlnces. France was calling out new levy
Of forces, and England was sending out her
fleet on their Spring promenade in the Bal
tic. All was uncertainty and preparation,
and the hope Of peace kept in allegiance by
the feeling that continuance of the war
was still possible.
The other items of the news are of minor
interest The Pope had consented to stand
godfather to the imperial infant and will
visit Paris for that purpose. Some new
complications regarding Persia were excit-
ing attention in England The American
excitement had dropped out of sight, and
Parliament seems to have done nothing wor-
thy of notice during the week.
The commercial news is of some impor-
lance. The stringency of the London mo-
ney market had increased in consequence of
payments on the new loan. Consols closed
at 81 for money. In breadstufs a heavy
decline had been experienced, amounting to
IS. on -four, Cd. on wheat, and Is. on corn.

THE NEW LICENSE LAW.

AS the new provisions with regard to IL
censcs, which are to take effect after the LIST
OF May next, are of great Importance to
many OF our readers, we would call their at
tention to the following comparative table
from the Baltimore Sun, which explains the
provisions of the new act as contrasted with
the old law on the subject The reader will,
however, take notice of point omitted in
the following statement, viz: that no trader
who shall take license under the new act.
as explained below, will be entitled to sell
liquor untess he shall also take out an ordt-
mary license for $25, independent of his IL
cense as trader; and even then it will be
illegal to sell in quantities less than a pint.
According to the estimate below, there would
be but little practical difference, as far as
storckeepers are concerned, between the old
and new law; but the difference is made by
the fact that heretofore one license covered
everything. Thus, under the old law,
trader for stock of goods, not exceeding
$1,000, paid license tax of S12; but that
Enabled him to sell liquor without additional
charge. Under the new law, the same man,
for his license, must pay the same sum
but then for the privilege Of vending liquors
he must pay $25 extra-thus being taxed
for selling this single article of merchandise
more than twice as much as he paid before
for the privilege of selling everything
The following is the exhibit of the Sun,
which with the foregoing proviso, will ex-
plain the whole law to the reader:
Traders licenses under the old law rate
