COMMERCE. 
TCoAnn or Trade, Whitehall, March 25. — Tlio Rigid Hon. 
the Lord* of the Commillee of Privy Conncil for Trade and 
Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for 
Foreign A (fairs, a copy of a despatch from Her Majesty's Consul 
at t 'ortliogcno, reporting that the Government of New Grannda 
have thrown open tlio coasting trade of that country to foreign 
vessels; and nlso a copy of a despatch from Her Moicsty’s Con- 
sul at Carthngcnn, reporting the imposition of the following ton- 
nage dues upon foreign vessels, viz.: — On every vessel not ex- 
ceeding 100 tons, four reals for every Granadian ton; on every 
vessel over 100 tons, four reals on each of the first 100 tons, and 
two reals on each ton exceeding that amount. This duty will 
only he levied on foreign vessels at the first port in Now Granada 
nt which they may touch. — Tuesday's Gai.cttc. 
Berlin, March 22.— The cases of arms manufactured at Liege 
for Russia, where several thnusnnd stand are being packed or 
manufactured to follow, reached the Potsdam station the night 
before lost, and weio forwarded without delay by Hie Btottin lino 
to the house to which thev ore consigned at Bromberg, whence 
they will bo conveyed to the Russian frontier. The order, snid 
to have been signed on Saturday, forbidding the further transit 
of arms until the mnlter has been referred to the Zollverein, will 
doloy, but probably not eventually prevent, further supplies 
being forwarded It is in fact most questionable whether tlio 
duties imposed on ncutrnl States by international laws amount 
to a posilivo denial of transit for urm», or uny other articles 
classed ns merchandise. The position of Prussia in this matter 
is extremely embarrassing. If sho rofuso transit, Russia will 
come forward and construe such refusal into an net of hostility; 
whilst, if sho should admit passage, the Western Powers cannot 
fail to look upon Prussia ns aiding and abetting their adversary, 
and may bo induced to declare that, unless the grievance shall 
cease, they will make reprisals bv blockading tlio Baltic ports. 
Glasgow, Cotton Wool.— TJio trade this week hove bought

pearance, with drooping prices. Prices for goods and yarns nro
