" REVIEW OF THE WEEK . , ¦ ¦ ¦' .. F riday Evening . The recent explanations in Parliament on the question of peace or war , causedj at the commencement oi the week , some revival of inquiries in those markets that are more immediately affected by the state of affairs on the Continent ; but the more hopeful feeling has subsidec without resulting in any extension of business -worthy ot remark . Trade , therefore , moves but slowly onward , retaining , at the same time * the sanie indications of stability that have characterised it for some time past . 1 he home demand for nearly all the primary articles of consumption , although not active , is quite as good as could he expected , seeing that it represents the l > are requirements of the immediate period j and except from the Continent of Europe , accounts from abroad are tar from unsatisfactory or unpromising , jn a commercial
point ot view . , , Corn . —The condition of the English -wheat at Mark-Lane having somewhat improved , prices have become less irregular , and purchases are made with less reserve ; but trade is still dull , ' and the improvement , if any , is merely in tone . Quotations remain about the same as in the preceding week . Foreign imports have been limited , and-very confidently held ; but buyers have been equally scarce . The more approved grades of flour have been rather more saleable without change in valui ? . The supplies of this article at the railway stores are large , and until they are moderate * little , if any , improvement m the , market can be expected . Choice malting barley is scarce and firm . Scotch samples met a fair demand at prior quotations . Sweet grinding qualities , from Odessa and the Danube are purchased in moderate quantity . No change whatever has occurred in rnalt- Beans are in some cases rather cheaper , but choice . qualities ' bring former terms . English oats are scarce , Scotch and foreign in moderate supply . The demand is not over good , hut prices tolerably firm .

Tea . —The China advices shipments , firm prices have imparted additional strength to this market . Common Congous have realised Is . l : fdi , which is J per lb . advance . . Public sales of 21 , 000 pkgs . passed off with fair spirit at very full prices for all but some parcels of scented teas ( offered " with all faults " ) , which sold rather cheaply .

, Saltpetre . —Since the receipt of the Calcutta letters , advising lower prices and increased engagements , the market has been flat , and to sell in quantity lower prices would have to be taken .

Cotton . — The demand has iniproved , partly from the more hopeful , view . taken of politics in the early part of the week , and partly from the favorable accounts from Calcutta subsequently . The markets are also strengthened by the more moderate arrivals at Liverpool , where , as well as in London , a better Jjusinesa has been concluded , at rather stiffer prices . Wool . —At the colonial sales now in progress the competition is somewhat better , and -price ' s may now be quoted £ d . to Id . higher than at the commencement .

Buitish Trade With Sardinia.—Nearly Twen...
Buitish Trade with Sardinia . —nearly twenty years ago , the number of British vessels annually arriving at Genoa from British dominions could noS be reckoned at more than 100 to 120 , most of them of small tonnage , Steamers now arrive from London and Liverpool with considerable regularity , generally about two or three a-immth , each steamer bringing from 800 to 1 , 000 tons of nicrehnndiso , at very high freights . The import from Great Britain of iron ( wrought and pig ) and coals and coke Jias greatly increased of lute yours , especially smco so many railways havo been made in Piedmont , mo flgifres given above present several noteworthy points . They show , in tlie first place , a greatly increasou substitution of steam for sailing power in the J »» t « in merchant service—as far , at least , as tho poit oi Genoa is concerned . In 1854 tho tonnage ofsaui » B
