to be lamented that the small occupiers did not enjoy any benefit from the rise in prices, having been compelled to sell before it took place. The hop and the wool trades are both very dull,-the hop planters are waiting in expectation that Parliament will afford them the relief they require. In the prices of corn there has been little or no alteration during the month. The supply to Mark Lane by sea still continues to fall off in comparison with last year. The account of the last four weeks stands as follows: 1822 Four weeks.. 1823 Do. Quarters. 32,827 25,115 The quantity of flour sent in has, however, been nearly double, owing probably to the continuance of strong winds, and abundance of water, which keep the mills in full work. The supply is a most momentous fact, and one to which we shall therefore pay constant regard, for if importation be indispensable, such a consideration must influence the question, and give it a very different turn to that which it would take if our own growth be adequate to our wants. The supply of beasts to Smithfield has not been such as to occasion any considerable fluctuation. Beef sunk a trifle at the beginning of the month, but has recovered, and may be quoted at the same prices as in our last report. COMMERCE. Though hostilities have actually begun, and all uncertainty is therefore so far removed, the circumstance does not appear to have affected the markets in any sensible degree. In fact, the prices of many important articles have declined, and the uncertainty that still hangs over the real state of the political relations of Spain, Portugal, or France, with the formal declaration of the intention of the English government to preserve a strict neutrality, must naturally tend to repress speculation. The insurrection which has taken place in the North of Portugal has attracted some attention, from the disturbances being in the wine country near Oporto, and a rise in the prices has been the consequence; but as the last official accounts from Portugal favour the supposition that the insurrection will be soon and easily suppressed, the effect will probably be but temporary. For the corn trade, the prospects are rather favourable than otherwise. At Barcelona, the magistrates, to encourage the importation of foreign grain, had reduced the duties one half; and it is generally believed that the period granted for importation would be prolonged. At Lisbon the govern ment has given permission for the entry of 3000 moyos (about 9000 quarters) of foreign wheat, and it was expected that permission would be given for a further importation to 7000 moyos, by the close of the month, if it should appear to be required. The duty is 140 rees per alquiere, and the prices from 54s. to 63s. per quarter. Should the stay of the French army in Spain be protracted, a supply of grain will be absolutely necessary; and it may probably be furnished at lower rates from this country than from France; we speak of the foreign corn now in bond here. A remarkable circumstance will tend to prevent any farther accumulation of foreign grain in this country; we mean a scarcity of grain in the kingdom of Poland, in consequence of which, the ment has issued a proclamation allowing the importation of foreign wheat, oats, buck-wheat, and peas, duty free; and imposing a duty of two florins per korzec on the exportation of the same grain. This decree to be in force till the 30th of August. The distilleries are likewise prohibited from working in Warsaw and its environs. govern The Russian Tariff for this year is expected to be very soon published; nothing has yet transpired with respect to any intended alterations. The new Emperor of Brazil has decreed, that all articles imported from foreign countries shall pay an import duty of 24 per cent. Those coming from England, however, are to pay only 15 per cent. conformably to existing treaties. All goods, the produce of the fisheries, the manufactures, or the industry of Portugal, imported in foreign vessels, and for foreign account, to pay 24 per cent. like those of other nations. A particular tariff is established for wines, liqueurs, ardent spirits, oil, and vinegar. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. The following works are in the Press :-Quentin Durward.
